febe6c9885 fix(#4685): a directory artifact fails its own entry instead of aborting the check (#4735)
* fix(#4685): a directory artifact fails its own entry instead of aborting the check

`must_haves.artifacts` entries are read with `safeReadFile`, which rethrows every
errno except ENOENT. A listed path that is a directory therefore threw EISDIR out
of the per-artifact loop: `query verify.artifacts` printed

    Error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read

and reported NOTHING — not the offending entry, and not the plan's other,
perfectly checkable artifacts. One directory entry disabled the whole plan's
check. Reproduced against a real plan before the fix, and after.

A directory is now reported as that entry's own failure, with an issue distinct
from `File not found` (the path did resolve; it simply is not the thing an
artifact entry can be checked against), and every other artifact in the plan is
still checked and reported independently. Anything else the stat or read throws
becomes that entry's failure too, carrying its errno, rather than discarding the
run — a check that disappears is worse than one that fails, because a failure is
visible.

Verifying directories properly — matching `contains:`/`min_lines:`/`exports:`
across the files inside one — is a feature decision and deliberately not made
here, per the issue's stated scope. Authoring-time rejection of a directory path
is likewise left alone: the brief raises it as a separate question, and the
runtime fix does not depend on it.

Also, found in pre-PR review and pre-existing: `safeReadFile(...) || ''` turned a
post-stat ENOENT into empty content, so an artifact declaring only
`path`/`provides` had no criterion left to fail and passed, having checked
nothing. A null read now reports that instead of inheriting a pass. It can only
turn a false pass into a failure.

Verified: reverting src/verify.cts to the merge-base turns both new rows red with
the exact EISDIR message; lint:ci exit 0; full suite 24/24 chunks, 37,280 tests,
0 failures; tests/verify.test.cjs 219/219.

* test(#4685): pin the injected-I/O branches, and narrow the guard's comment

Review findings from #4735.

Major — the two error branches this PR adds were untested, and the PR body
claimed the mid-check ENOENT window was "not deterministically reproducible
through the CLI seam these tests drive." That was wrong: ADR-3574 records this
repo's convention for exactly this — inject filesystem failures by
monkeypatching the fs method, never by chmod or mode-bit tricks, which root
bypasses and yields a test that passes with zero coverage in root Docker and CI.

Both branches are now pinned that way. The injection runs in the CHILD via
NODE_OPTIONS=--require, because `output()` writes fd 1 directly
(`writeAllSync(1, …)`, io.cjs) rather than through console.log, so an in-process
call cannot have its JSON captured. The preload patches the child's own module
objects, which the compiled code reads at call time.

  - a file that disappears between stat and read now fails as that entry rather
    than passing on empty content
  - a non-ENOENT errno (EACCES) is reported as that entry's failure, carrying its
    code, so an operator can tell a permissions problem from an I/O one

The injection matches the target by path SUFFIX, not string equality: the first
cut compared absolute paths, and a /tmp vs /private/tmp prefix difference
silently disarmed it — the test passed while asserting nothing. A disarmed
injection test is worse than no test, so the reason is recorded at the call site.

Nit — the comment above the try block said the guard "covers what the stat and
read below actually throw", which reads as if the min_lines/contains/exports
checks inside the same block were deliberately guarded too. They are pure string
operations and cannot throw; the comment now says so rather than implying a
guarantee it does not make.

Verified: reverting src/verify.cts to the merge-base turns all three #4685 rows
red — the directory row and both new ones; lint:ci exit 0; full suite 24/24
chunks, 37,389 tests, 0 failures; tests/verify.test.cjs 221/221.

39db16a653 fix(#4678): resolve :LINE citations against their underlying files (#4719)
* fix(#4678): check :LINE citations instead of dropping or misreporting them

cmdVerifyReferences had two opposite failures on citations carrying a
trailing line suffix. The backtick extractor anchored the closing
backtick right after the extension, so `src/foo.ts:42` matched neither
regex and was silently dropped -- an all-line-numbered document
reported {valid:true, found:0, missing:[], total:0}, indistinguishable
from one with no citations. The @-extractor treated ':' as a legal path
character, so @src/foo.ts:42 was probed with the suffix glued on and a
resolvable file was reported missing.

Strip the :N / :N-M suffix (stripLineSuffix) before existsSync in both
loops -- for filesystem resolution only; found/missing keep reporting
the original citation text -- and let the backtick regex accept the
optional suffix so those citations are counted at all. URL skip,
template-placeholder skip, dedup, ~/ expansion and the output contract
are unchanged. Whether a line number past EOF counts as missing is an
open design question and stays out of scope.

* chore(#4678): backfill changeset pr field with PR number

The fragment shipped as the documented pr: 0 placeholder; the merge
gate requires pr > 0 before a fragment can land, so backfill 4719 now
that the PR number exists.

bbdf7e8e84 chore(#4654): add local/no-unconfined-path-join and drain it to zero — Phase 4 of #4636 (#4674)
* chore(#4654): add local/no-unconfined-path-join and drain it to zero

Phase 4 of epic #4636 — the ratchet, and the phase that makes the epic hold.

THE MEASUREMENT THAT RESHAPED THE PHASE. An AST census (the repo's own parser,
not grep) found what the epic never enumerated: ADR-4650 named seven containment
implementations; `src/` alone held roughly 24 more hand-rolled gates across ~13
files, several guarding a write or an `fs.rmSync`. Two verified by reading rather
than pattern-matching — `research-store.cts` comments its own as "ensure the
resolved file path stays inside the store dir" immediately before a write, and
`capability-lifecycle.cts` gates `fs.rmSync` with one.

So the epic's Done-when "one containment predicate, used at every site" was FALSE
when Phase 3 reported it satisfied. It is true now: the rule is clean across
src/, scripts/, gsd-core/bin/ and hooks/ with an EMPTY allowlist.

WHY NOT THE RULE THE ISSUE PROPOSED. #4654 proposed flagging `path.join` whose
first argument is a managed root and whose later arguments derive from argv. That
is a taint analysis over 2046 call sites, in ESLint, without type information;
"derives from argv" is not locally decidable. Any approximation either floods or
is trivially evaded, and a rule that fires on hundreds of correct sites earns an
allowlist of hundreds — the opposite of a ratchet. What is actually duplicated is
the COMPARISON, not the join, and that has one recognizable shape.

  Arm 1  X.startsWith(Y + sep)            the hand-rolled containment idiom
  Arm 2  a containment predicate called as a bare statement, answer discarded

Arm 2 is the issue's "asserts the result was narrowed, not merely that a helper
was called". Its example `validatePath(x, root).resolved` is already
structurally impossible — Phase 3 un-exported `validatePath` — so the remaining
expressible failure is ignoring the answer, which is the defect that recurred
five times in this epic. The census found exactly one live instance
(`milestone.cts:1643`); it now returns the proven `ContainedPath` so consumers
stop re-deriving the path the comment above it was extracted to stop them
re-deriving.

The rule deliberately does NOT try to catch validate-one-path-use-another where
the answer is used but a different variable flows onward. That needs flow
analysis; the branded `ContainedPath` from Phase 3 is the defense there, and the
two are complementary.

PER-SITE FAMILY CHOICE, NOT A DEFAULT. Phase 3's lesson binds: collapsing a
lexical site onto the realpath family broke four tests and was caught only by the
matrix. Every migrated site was triaged individually. The six
installer-migrations tree-walks and the six capability-lifecycle gates take the
LEXICAL family because their operands are already realpath-resolved and they
deliberately treat the final component as a link; boundary sites take realpath.

TWO SITES WITH AN INVERTED CONTRACT, which a mechanical swap would have broken.
`installer-migrations.cts:127` and `runtime-artifact-install-plan.cts:144` REJECT
`target === root` by contract, while the canonical comparison ACCEPTS it. Swapped
naively, a migration could `rmdir` the user's config root and a third-party
descriptor could write at configHome itself. Both keep `=== root` as an explicit
additional arm alongside the predicate call — the predicate decides containment,
the call site keeps its own extra condition (ADR-4650 decision 6).

ONE DUPLICATE DELETED OUTRIGHT: `planning-inspect.cts`'s `isWithinRoot` was
byte-identical to `isContainedIn` and said so in its own docstring.
`isContainedIn` is now exported for callers that have already resolved both
operands and need only the comparison, with a doc note that a caller which has
NOT resolved them must use a full predicate instead.

THE MARKER, AND WHY IT IS NOT THE ALLOWLIST. Nine sites are justified holdouts and
carry `// allow-handrolled-containment: <reason>` with a mandatory, reviewable
reason. Two justifications: (a) not a containment decision — an ancestor-walk loop
condition, sub-repo grouping, worktree identity matching, declared-path coverage;
(b) it IS containment but the canonical predicate is unreachable —
`capability-validator.cjs` is a committed pre-build `.cjs` and the compiled
`security.cjs` is untracked build output, so requiring it would break a fresh
clone. `scripts/lib/drift-scan.cjs` runs under `lint:ci` with the same exposure.
The marker was renamed from `allow-lexical-prefix-match` mid-phase because that
name asserted only (a) and would have stated something false at the (b) sites.

A marker suppresses BEFORE the violation counter increments, so a file whose
every occurrence is marked still reports `staleAllowlistEntry` — otherwise a
drained entry lingers and silently re-permits the site later.

DEMONSTRATED RED, per #4654: a hand-rolled copy reintroduced into a real `src/`
file made `npm run lint` fail with the rule's full guidance message; removing it
returned the tree to clean. Both halves recorded — red alone proves nothing,
since a rule red for an unrelated reason looks identical.

DISCLOSED: `defaultRequireFromInstallRoot` (gsd-tools.cjs) previously carried two
distinct rejection messages and two manual realpath calls; routing it through
`tryWithinRoot` collapses them to one message, and a missing module now surfaces
as MODULE_NOT_FOUND rather than ENOENT. No test asserts either message. The
security property is preserved and slightly strengthened — the candidate is
realpathed and containment re-checked, and the dangling-symlink oracle closure
comes along with it.

* docs(#4654): record the containment ratchet in CONTEXT.md and the security model

Both entries previously described the seam without the thing that keeps it a
seam. They now state what the rule bans, and — more usefully for whoever reads
this next — what it deliberately does NOT attempt: deciding per path.join call
whether an argument came from user input. That question is not locally
decidable, and an approximation across ~2000 join sites would earn an exemption
list of hundreds, which is the opposite of a ratchet.

Also records the marker's two legitimate justifications and that its reason is
mandatory, so the escape stays reviewable rather than becoming a mute button.

Glossary gate 270 refs exit 0; install-tree goldens and CONTEXT-INDEX.json
regenerated and confirmed byte-identical rather than assumed — which also
confirms eslint-rules/ is not a shipped path.

* fix(#4654): close review findings and the two matrix failures

MATRIX FAILURE 1 — a collapsed message broke a negative-proof test, and my
evidence for collapsing it was wrong. I searched tests/ for the literal string
"resolves outside its install root", found nothing, and reported that no test
asserted it. The test matches a REGEX SUBSTRING, /outside its install root/, so
the literal search missed it. What broke was "NEGATIVE PROOF: a symlinked module
pointing OUTSIDE the install root is not loaded" — the test guarding the exact
property I claimed was preserved. defaultRequireFromInstallRoot now does both
checks again with both messages byte-identical, each routed through the
canonical predicate, which is better than the original since that hand-rolled
both comparisons.

MATRIX FAILURE 2 — shipped migrations are checksum-locked, and a marker cannot
serve there. migrationChecksum hashes plan.toString(), which INCLUDES comments,
so a suppression marker inside a plan body drifts the baseline exactly as an
edit does. Measured: with markers in place, two of the four still differed from
their committed checksums. The four shipped bodies are now byte-identical to
next, and the rule's config excludes those four paths BY NAME rather than by a
directory wildcard, so a NEW migration is still covered. Six containment
comparisons stay un-ratcheted there; that gap is recorded in the rule's Known
gaps, in CONTEXT.md and in the security model rather than left implicit.
Justification (c) is removed from the marker's documented reasons, because a
marker was proven unable to express it.

ADVERSARIAL REVIEW — the sharpest finding was that the rule banned the CORRECT
shape while permitting the incorrect one: startsWith(root) with no separator is
the genuinely unsafe form, since it accepts a sibling such as root-evil, and my
own test blessed it as valid. Flagging every bare startsWith would swamp the
rule, so that stays a STATED gap rather than a silent one. Closed for real: the
template-literal spelling, which the census never saw because it only inspected
plus-concatenation — that surfaced TWELVE more sites, now triaged and migrated.
A separator reached through a const alias is now resolved via scope analysis.
And isContainedIn, exported in Phase 3, was missing from the discarded-result
set, so a bare no-op call went unflagged on the one function the epic funnels
through.

SECURITY REVIEW — the marker could over-suppress two ways: a block comment
worked identically to a line comment, and one marker silently covered every
violation sharing its line. It now requires a Line comment positioned after the
flagged node ends, so it anchors to the node it trails. Four sites had dropped
an unreachable-but-deliberate equality rejection against the root; each is
restored as the call site's own arm. eslint.config.mjs still documented the OLD
marker token, which my rename missed — it would have sent the next author in
circles.

A FALSE GREEN, recorded because it nearly stuck: lint:ci reported exit 0 from a
stale eslint cache while twelve real violations existed. Every lint check here
now clears the cache first.

* fix(#4654): anchor a suppression marker to the violation it actually trails

The matrix caught this; my own test caught it, on its first execution. The case
"two violations on one line: trailing marker suppresses only the one it trails"
expected 1 error and got 0 — both were suppressed.

ROOT CAUSE: the anchoring accepted any Line comment on the node's line whose
range started at or after the node's end. A trailing marker at the END of a line
sits after EVERY node on that line, so that condition held for all of them.
"After the node" does not identify WHICH node the marker trails. The fix reads
as correct and is not.

FIX: deferred reporting. Violations accumulate during traversal instead of being
reported immediately; at Program:exit each marker claims exactly ONE pending
violation — the one on its line whose end is nearest before the marker begins —
and every unclaimed violation is then counted and reported. One marker, one
suppression. An earlier violation sharing the line is still reported, which is
the property the security review asked for and the previous attempt only
appeared to deliver.

The counter now increments at flush time rather than during traversal, so a
suppressed occurrence still does not keep an allowlist entry alive.

AND A TOOL THAT SHOULD HAVE EXISTED BEFORE THE FIRST MATRIX RUN. `node --test`
is hard-blocked here, so this rule's test file could only ever be executed on
the remote matrix — which is why a broken anchoring shipped into a run. ESLint's
programmatic Linter API is not a test runner, and exercising the rule through it
verifies every case locally in seconds. All 24 now pass locally, including the
two-on-one-line case that failed remotely. That loop should have been built
before the rule was first sent to the matrix rather than after it failed twice.

* chore(#4654): backfill PR 4674 into the changeset and complete 70-docs.json

The phase gate requires enablementSequence and the Diataxis quadrants; 70-docs
now carries both, with the how-to quadrant skipped for a stated reason rather
than an empty field. The audience for this deliverable is a contributor who
trips the rule, and the task-oriented guidance reaches them in the ESLint
message itself — which names the correct predicate, says how to choose between
the realpath and lexical families, cites the Phase 3 regression caused by
choosing wrong, and gives the marker syntax. A docs/how-to page would be a
second, driftable copy read by nobody at the moment of failure.

enablementSequence is recorded as what it actually is: a VERIFICATION sequence,
not an enablement one. The rule is never off, so there is no off-to-on
transition to describe.

scripts/lint-docs-required.cjs now passes (ok_docs_updated) — it could not
evaluate against the mandated pr:0 placeholder.

6f0e5ccf85 fix(#4636,#4653): close the symlink hole, revert a wrong collapse, fix six review findings
The RED checkpoint and two orthogonal reviews found eight defects. All fixed here.

THE COLLAPSE THAT WAS WRONG — installer-migrations. Routing ensureInsideConfig's
containment decision through the realpath-based canonical predicate broke four
tests, and the failure message says it plainly: "migration path escapes
configDir: extensions/gsd.cjs". That module's entire contract is that a
symlinked managed path is snapshotted, restored and backed up AS A LINK and
never dereferenced. The canonical predicate dereferences, then rejects the
result for escaping configDir — so it destroys exactly the thing the module
exists to preserve. Reverted to lexical, with the ruling recorded above the
function so it is not collapsed a third time. normalizeRelPath is the real
pre-gate there; it throws on absolute paths and '..' before this check runs.

That makes THREE deliberately-retained implementations, not two, and they share
one shape worth naming: a realpath-based predicate is the wrong tool wherever a
symlink must be PRESERVED rather than resolved. CONTEXT.md and
docs/explanation/security-model.md are corrected — both previously described
ensureInsideConfig as collapsed.

THE MISSED CONSUMER. tests/security-prompt-injection.security.test.cjs
destructures validatePath from the compiled lib; un-exporting it turned five
tests into TypeError. It appeared in my own earlier search output and I did not
follow it up. Translated under the same rule as the rest: assertions on the
rejection REASON go through assertWithinRoot, boolean-only through
tryWithinRoot.

VALIDATE-ONE-PATH-USE-ANOTHER, FOUND TWICE MORE. This is the fourth and fifth
occurrence in this epic of the exact defect it exists to prevent.
  - scripts/check-glossary-refs.cjs decided containment on `token` and then
    stat'd a separately re-joined path.join(ROOT, token). The ContainedPath is
    now carried through to the probe, so the validated value is the probed one.
  - src/init.cts computed skillPathContained and DISCARDED it, re-joining from
    the raw input for the existsSync and read. The branded type exists to make
    that a type error and here it was inert.

AND THE OVER-CORRECTION OF THAT FIX, caught before it shipped. The first attempt
also substituted the validated value into the EMITTED `ref` for a global skill.
That value is a display token, not a path anything reads through — the only fs
access in that branch runs on the lexical path beforehand — so substituting it
changed emitted output two ways: it is realpath-resolved, so a symlinked global
skills directory would have emitted its resolved target instead of the user's
own path, and it came from path.join, so Windows would have emitted a backslash
where the template has a literal '/'. Restored, with the distinction recorded:
the containment check there is a GATE, not a path producer.

A TEST THAT COULD NOT FAIL. The first symlink regression planted its symlink
from inside a hooked fs.readdirSync and never asserted the planting happened —
if the hook did not fire, the "nothing was written outside" assertion passed
trivially, green against vulnerable code. It now asserts the plant, matching its
sibling. The other two were re-checked: one already asserted its equivalent, the
other plants synchronously and cannot silently no-op.

THE SYMLINK FIX ITSELF, now that the tests are proven red on the matrix.
isPathConfined is lexical by design and structurally cannot see a symlink; three
callers relied on it with no defense of their own. install-engine.cts:1608 and
install-profiles.cts:880 refuse to mkdir/write through a link — mkdirSync with
recursive:true does NOT throw on an existing symlink-to-directory, so a planted
link redirected the SKILL.md write outside the install root.
install-profiles.cts:755 refuses to read through one — statSync FOLLOWS links,
so an outside file's contents were returned and installed as a skill body. Each
mirrors the guard retired-artifact-cleanup.cts:77 already uses.

Severity stated accurately rather than dramatically: only the read at :755 needs
no race. _removeGsdEntries sweeps a pre-planted link at :1608 before the write
loop, and :880's stageDir is a fresh mkdtemp, so both of those require winning a
window. They are fixed as defense-in-depth, not as live exploits.

ALSO: the Changed changeset claimed "every command's observable behavior [is]
unchanged". Three rejection messages are reworded. It now says so, and says that
none of them reveals a host path it previously hid. A stale comment in
verify.cts still named validatePath; an init.cts warning hardcoded "resolves
outside the project directory" for a check that also rejects absolute paths, NUL
bytes and empty strings; and the rationale deleted with check-glossary-refs'
retired helper is restored, noting honestly that a rejected token is now
realpath-resolved before rejection rather than rejected by string comparison.

4ebcec7750 refactor(#4653): narrow the containment export and migrate all 15 validatePath sites
Phase 3 of epic #4636, stages 1-2. Implements ADR-4650 decisions 1 and 2: one
containment predicate, and an exported shape that cannot hand a caller a usable
path when the answer is unsafe.

THE EXPORT IS NOW A PAIR, BOTH RETURNING A BRANDED TYPE:

  assertWithinRoot(candidate, root, label?, opts?) -> ContainedPath   (throws)
  tryWithinRoot(candidate, root, opts?)            -> ContainedPath | null

ADR-4650 names only the throwing form. That does not survive contact with the
call sites: findPhaseArtifact probes a direct path, then a .planning/ path, then
each readdir entry, and throwing on the first miss breaks it outright. Six of the
fifteen sites need a non-throwing check. Recorded here rather than papered over.

WHY BRANDED. validatePath returns { safe, resolved, error } and populates
resolved with the ESCAPING path on the traversal branch — so a caller who skips
the boolean gets an attacker-controlled value precisely in the dangerous case.
tryWithinRoot returns exactly null there; assertWithinRoot throws. A plain string
is not assignable to ContainedPath, so a migrated site that validates one path
and then passes a different one is now a type error rather than a silent bug.
That is the defect this epic exists to close, and I introduced it twice in
Phase 2.

THE ENGINE IS UNTOUCHED. validatePath's body is not re-derived — the diff shows
zero edits to the dangling-symlink existence-oracle closure, the ancestor
canonicalization (macOS /var vs /private/var), or the separator-aware boundary
test. Each was acquired as a bug fix and a re-derivation would silently lose one.
requireSafePath now delegates to assertWithinRoot, so there is one implementation
beneath both names; its return type is branded, which is why its 13 call sites
compile unchanged.

A TYPESCRIPT LIMITATION, FIXED AT THE ROOT RATHER THAN WORKED AROUND. TS applies
never-return control-flow narrowing only when the callee is a function
declaration or a const with an EXPLICIT type annotation. Both routers do
`const { error } = io` — destructured, unannotated — so `error(...)` did not
narrow ContainedPath | null and four sites wanted a dead
`throw new Error('unreachable')` after it. Annotating the const
(`const error: typeof io.error = io.error`) makes TS narrow properly and the dead
throws are gone.

That annotation has a large, deliberate consequence: with narrowing working,
`@typescript-eslint/no-unnecessary-type-assertion` fires at 37 sites in
commands.cts where `as string` / `!` existed ONLY to paper over the missing
narrowing. They are removed. The rule is type-aware and fires only where the
assertion changes nothing, and both forms erase at compile time, so the emitted
behavior is unchanged — but the module loses 37 unchecked casts over
string | undefined, which is the same class of "trust me" the containment work
is removing. Widening the diff here buys that.

TWO SITES LOSE DIAGNOSTIC TEXT, deliberately. tryWithinRoot has no error channel,
so init.cts's agent-skills warning and cmdPrSubrepo's rejection now name the
condition rather than echoing validatePath's message. verify.cts had already
stopped echoing it on purpose — the message embeds absolute host paths — so this
makes the three agree instead of two-of-three.

42c02a00c0 enhance(#3418): report real codebase drift instead of the whole repository (#4124)
* fix(#3418): write the codebase-drift baseline from code instead of agent prose

writeMappedCommit shipped correct and callerless, so no full map-codebase run ever wrote last_mapped_commit. The gate then read null and diffed HEAD against the empty tree, reporting every tracked file as newly added on every run.

Adds the stamp-codebase-map leaf verb and calls it from the map-codebase workflow and the execute-phase auto-remap path, replacing the prose instruction that asked the mapper agent to stamp its own output. An agent that concludes its work is already done skips a prose step silently, which is the failure the stamp exists to detect.

The gate now reports an absent or unresolvable baseline as skipped, with reason no-mapped-commit or unresolvable-mapped-commit, rather than as whole-repo drift. Files under .planning/ are excluded from the diff so the map's own commit does not read as seven new directories on the next run.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: map-codebase.md — adds the stamp_codebase_map step and its rationale, new workflow content this change requires

* test(#3418): cover the stamp writer and the absent-baseline gate

* docs(#3418): document how the drift baseline is written and skipped

* docs(#3418): note that a manual stamp reflows the map's whitespace

writeMappedCommit writes through platformWriteSync, which normalizes markdown whitespace on .md targets. Run in its workflow position the stamp lands on documents the mapper just wrote, so the normalization is folded into the same commit, but a hand-run stamp over an already-committed map reflows that map as a side effect. Reported on the issue thread.

* chore(#3418): add changeset fragment

Typed Changed to match the enhancement route the linked issue's label sets. The docs-required lint is satisfied by the ARCHITECTURE.md update already in this branch.

* fix(#3418): anchor the planning-artifact filter to the repo root

git diff --name-status prints repo-root-relative paths whatever the cwd, so computing the exclusion prefix against cwd yielded ".planning/" while git printed "sub/.planning/" and the filter silently matched nothing from a subdirectory.

* fix(#3418): derive the planning prefix from git, not from path arithmetic

Anchoring the exclusion prefix with path.relative() against `rev-parse --show-toplevel` broke on Windows, where os.tmpdir() hands back the 8.3 short form and git resolves the long one, so relative() produced a "../.." chain that matched nothing. `rev-parse --show-prefix` gives the cwd's root-relative prefix from the same producer as the diff paths, so the two sides cannot disagree.

* fix(#3418): take the planning lock around the codebase-map stamp

Stamping seven documents is seven frontmatter read-modify-writes, and two stampers can run at once: the full map-codebase run and the execute-phase auto-remap. Wrap the write loop in withPlanningLock, the same lock the other .planning/ writers take, so a concurrent pair cannot lose an update.

Also corrects the path-arithmetic comment, which read as if the Windows short-path hazard applied to the .planning half of the prefix. It applies to the rejected --show-toplevel alternative; both sides of the surviving relative() call are the same cwd string.

* fix(#3418): read HEAD and the map file list under the planning lock

The stamp resolved HEAD and listed the present codebase-map documents before it acquired the planning lock, so a stamper that then waited on the lock could write its now-stale sha over a newer one, or recreate a document deleted while it waited as a frontmatter-only stub. Both reads now happen inside the lock, matching the read-and-write-in-one-lock pattern config.cts and phase.cts already use. An empty --files value is refused as well instead of silently widening the stamp to all seven documents.

* fix(#3418): narrow the map stamp to the documents an update run refreshed

An "Update - only update specific documents" run reached the new stamp step with no --files narrowing, so the six documents the user did not select were stamped at HEAD and read as freshly mapped. The selection now threads through to --files, the same way the auto-remap path already does.

A bare --files (an unquoted empty shell variable drops the token) parsed to null, indistinguishable from an absent flag, so it skipped the empty-filter refusal and stamped all seven. Presence is now read off argv.

* fix(#3418): require the drift baseline to resolve to a commit, not any object

`git cat-file -t` exits 0 for a tree or blob sha and for a ref name, and `git diff <tree> HEAD` is valid, so an exit-code-only probe accepted a baseline that is not a commit and reported the resulting diff as real drift. Check the reported type instead of the exit code alone, which routes every non-commit stamp to the same `unresolvable-mapped-commit` skip.

Rows 1-3 and 20 of the #4024 test matrix reproduce the issue's shapes

list of shapes proven to be traps at HEAD: exact grep -c counts (R1),

590edec7a7 fix(#3956): require positive evidence for verify artifacts/key-links pass (#4004)
* fix(#3956): require positive evidence for verify artifacts/key-links pass

An all-string or path-less must_haves.artifacts / key_links block is
item-by-item skipped, leaving zero checked results, yet the pass verdict
was computed as `passed === results.length` (0 === 0), so all_passed /
all_verified read true with status valid and exit 0: a silent false GREEN
over zero acceptance evidence.

Add a positive-evidence floor (results.length > 0) to both verdicts,
mirroring the no-vacuous-pass rule at src/uat-predicate.cts. A well-formed
block, the fully-empty-block error, the parser's string tolerance, and
key-links pending (#1202) semantics are all unchanged.

Governing: ADR-3473 section 8 / 37C (absence, emptiness and failure must
not encode as success) and Decision 3 (failure is a value).

* chore(#3956): add changeset for verify vacuous-pass fix

* test(#3956): add mixed-block coverage and correct the key-links vacuous-pass comment

Addresses review on #4004:
- Correct the cmdVerifyKeyLinks positive-evidence-floor comment: only bare-string
  items are continue-skipped; a from:-less object is NOT skipped (it falls through
  to a verified:false hard failure), so it was never part of the vacuous-pass
  surface. The prior comment overclaimed symmetry with the artifacts side.
- Add a mixed-block regression test per verb (one bare-string prose bullet + one
  well-formed entry): the string is skipped, results.length === 1 > 0, and the
  verdict follows the single real entry — pinning that the floor does not
  over-reject a partial block.
- Tighten the changeset wording to match (all-bare-string, not "no path:/from: key").

* test(#3348): add failing-first coverage for the context-drift gate

* feat(#3348): add context-drift pre-check gate for plan-phase

Compares each phase's *-RESEARCH.md/*-PATTERNS.md/*-VALIDATION.md/*-SPEC.md
effective last-changed time (git commit time, falling back to mtime for
uncommitted edits) against *-CONTEXT.md's, so plan-phase no longer silently
reuses an upstream artifact that predates a decision added to CONTEXT.md
after that artifact was derived from it. Deterministic, no model call.

New `gsd_run verify context-drift <phase>` command, sibling to the existing
verify.codebase-drift/verify.schema-drift gates in the drift capability.
Warn-only by default (workflow.context_drift_precheck), with an opt-in
workflow.context_drift_action: block escape hatch. Wired at plan:pre in
plan-phase.md, before both the RESEARCH.md and PATTERNS.md reuse decisions.

* fix(#3348): address code-review findings — raw-text-match, stale comment, import placement, duplicated phase resolution

* fix(#3859): pin the real commit's diff.ignoreSubmodules to match the empty-diff probe

The #3859 empty-diff guard decides whether a submodule bump would land using
`--ignore-submodules=dirty`, overriding the caller's `diff.ignoreSubmodules`
config. The real `git commit -- <paths>` that follows was never given the
same override, so under a bare `diff.ignoreSubmodules=all` repo config the
two calculations disagree: driven on git 2.39.5 (Debian bookworm, the
linux-node24 test-matrix image), the guard correctly stands aside but the
scoped commit itself then silently fails (exit 1, no error text) for a
gitlink bump it had just confirmed would be recorded, surfacing as
commit_failed instead of committed:true.

Pin `-c diff.ignoreSubmodules=dirty` onto the scoped commit call too, so the
probe and the commit it protects can never diverge. Harmless when no
submodule path is involved (driven: identical outcome on an ordinary scoped
file, with and without the flag).

* fix(#3348): guard resolvePhaseDirByToken's exact-match fallback against path traversal

* fix(#3348): retarget phase-enumeration-drift exemption to the consolidated resolvePhaseDirByToken helper

cmdVerifySchemaDrift's inline readdirSync was already function-scoped-exempt
in lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs as a single-phase LOOKUP (not a
current-milestone enumeration). This PR's refactor pass lifted that block
into a shared helper, resolvePhaseDirByToken, also used by the new
cmdVerifyContextDrift — the guard tracks exemptions by enclosing function
name, so the readdirSync now lives in an unexempted function and started
firing. Move the exemption to resolvePhaseDirByToken (same written reason,
now covering both callers) instead of migrating to listAllPhaseDirs, which
would introduce two real behavior deltas here: it catches readdirSync
failures internally (old code let them throw) and sorts results by phase
number before matchPhaseDirs picks matches[0] (old code used raw,
OS-dependent readdirSync order).

* fix(#3348): satisfy lint:ci — slash form, capability registry regen

- docs/features/context-drift-gate.md used the deprecated /gsd: colon
  form; docs are never passed through the install-time slash-form
  converters, so lint-docs-command-form requires the hyphen form.
  Regenerated docs/FEATURES.md from the corrected fragment.
- Regenerated gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs after editing
  capabilities/drift/capability.json (lint:generated-sync).

* fix(#3859): pin the real commit's diff.ignoreSubmodules via env, not argv -c

The prior fix pinned `-c diff.ignoreSubmodules=dirty` onto the scoped commit's
argv via `commitArgs.unshift(...)`. `-c key=val` must precede the `commit`
subcommand, so this shifted `commitArgs[0]` from `'commit'` to `'-c'` for
every scoped commit call, breaking 17 position-based assertions in the
commit-files pathspec regression suite that read `a[0] === 'commit'` to find
the commit invocation among recorded git calls.

`execGit` already accepts an `env` option merged onto `process.env` before
spawning. Git honors `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT`/`GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0`/`GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0`
as a per-invocation config override functionally identical to `-c key=val`,
expressed via env instead of argv. Passing that env alongside the existing
commitArgs (still `['commit', ..., '--', ...stagedPaths]`, argv unchanged)
fixes the real commit's effective diff.ignoreSubmodules to match the
empty-diff guard's probe without moving anything in argv position 0. Scoped
to exactly the canScope branch, matching the probe's own preconditions and
leaving no behavior change for commits the probe never evaluated.

No test file changes needed — the 17 previously-failing assertions test
argv[0] against the array passed into execGit, which never changes.

* fix(#3348): register verify-context-drift in the check subcommand router

The drift capability's new plan:pre gate declares check.query
"verify.context-drift", which normalizes to `check verify-context-drift`,
but no such subcommand was routed — phase6-capstone-conformance's
uniform-block-field test failed with "Unknown check subcommand" for
every declared gate query.

keys (workflow.context_drift_precheck, workflow.context_drift_action)
for its own plan:pre context-drift gate — extend the expected set
(and clarify the assertion message) without weakening the test's
exactness.

* fix(#3348): reconcile E2's exemption-migration pin with the resolvePhaseDirByToken extraction

#3348 (an earlier commit on this branch, e4b80ad81) extracted
cmdVerifySchemaDrift's inline phasesDir readdirSync/matchPhaseDirs block
into the shared resolvePhaseDirByToken helper (also used by the new
cmdVerifyContextDrift), and retargeted lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs's
function-scoped exemption from cmdVerifySchemaDrift to
resolvePhaseDirByToken accordingly — cmdVerifySchemaDrift no longer
contains a line the guard's detectors match, so it needs no exemption.

tests/phase-locator.test.cjs's E2 test still pinned the exemption to the
old name (cmdVerifySchemaDrift), unaware of the migration. Update E2 to
match the same "migrated call site's exemption must move, not
duplicate" pattern the test already applies to cmdRoadmapAnalyze and
cmdInitMilestoneOp just below it: drop cmdVerifySchemaDrift from the
still-exempt list and add symmetric assertions that it no longer
carries the exemption while resolvePhaseDirByToken now does.

* fix(#3348): fix two self-contradicting/nondeterministic tests in context-drift.test.cjs

'always exits 0 (query command contract)' included the no-phase-arg
case, which contradicts the file's own earlier
'errors with usage message on missing phase arg' test (that case
legitimately exits 1 via the Usage error) — drop it from the
always-exits-0 cases.

'degrades to mtime comparison outside a git repo' and '...in a repo
with no commits' relied on real wall-clock ordering between two
back-to-back writeFileSync calls to prove CONTEXT.md is newer than
RESEARCH.md; on a fast filesystem both can land in the same mtime
tick, producing a tie that computeContextDrift's strict `<` correctly
treats as not-stale, so stale_artifacts comes back empty. Make both
tests deterministic via explicit fs.utimesSync instead of relying on
timing (CONTRIBUTING.md: never assert elapsed wall-clock time).

9410f7e6e6 enhance(#3897): ADR-3473 §8.3 rungs 2-4 — runtime marker, derived Codex sandbox, short-form depends_on (#3941)
* test(#3897): failing-first coverage for §8.3 rungs 2-4

ADR-3473 §8.3 has four rungs; #3883/PR #3896 shipped the first. This pins the
other three RED before any fix.

Rung 2 — the install marker has four readers and resolveRuntime is not one.

  resolveRuntime resolves GSD_RUNTIME > config.runtime > 'claude' and reads no
  marker at all, while bin/install.js writes one (#2297) and FOUR hand-rolled
  readInstallRuntimeMarker copies exist: src/model-resolver.cts:65 (cached, with
  test seams), hooks/gsd-agent-isolation-guard.js:112, and TWICE in
  hooks/gsd-cursor-subagent-start.js at :346 and :355. Four copies of one rule.

  Fixtures and seam names mined from PR #3382 rather than re-derived; it
  implemented this rung and was closed "not on the merits".

Rung 3 — the sandbox map, and the fallback that was the real defect.

  Measured across all 35 files in agents/, deriving workspace-write iff tools:
  declares Write or Edit:

    - all 11 CODEX_AGENT_SANDBOX entries derive to their mapped value exactly,
      zero disagreements — the map carries nothing the contract does not
    - 24 roles fall through `|| 'read-only'`, of which 16 declare Write or Edit

  So the map is redundant and the silent fallback is the defect. The maintainer
  chose to derive but hold those 16 at read-only pending the question of whether
  Codex enforces sandbox_mode or merely advises; HALT.md records it.

  T20 asserts the emitted sandbox_mode PER ROLE against a captured baseline, not
  in aggregate — an aggregate passes while one role silently widens, which is
  the proxy-instead-of-identity shape this repo names. T24 and T25 fail on a
  stale hold, so the hold list cannot rot into the subset map being deleted.

Rung 4 — shortFormToId, recovered rather than invented.

  I nearly reported this as another wrong §8.3 claim: `git log -S shortFormToId`
  returns only documentation commits. That was the wrong instrument. Direct
  inspection of sdk/src/query/phase.ts at 11918dcc3^ shows five occurrences, and
  the tests match that code rather than a guess at its semantics — including
  first-write-wins on a duplicate short form.

  T43 asserts at the consumer's output: the emitted `waves` map from the real
  CLI, which pre-fix collapses to {"1":[...]} because every short-form edge is
  dropped. A unit assertion on resolveDependencyId would have passed throughout
  this defect's life.

Observed RED, this tree:
  rung 2   11/11 fail — no marker rung, no seams
  rung 3   T23,T24,T25,T26,T30 fail; T28 fails (validate agents passes a TOML
           whose sandbox_mode disagrees — it checks presence only)
  rung 4   T42,T44 fail; T43,T49 fail with waves collapsed to a single wave 1

Green and staying green: T20/T21/T22/T27 as captured baselines, #3885's
unresolvable-token warning and wave-verdict suppression, and #3785's
display-mapping passthrough. If the third tier over-reaches, those go red — that
is their job.

Disclosed weakness: T45 (a canonical id with no dash is not short-form indexed)
cannot be isolated behaviorally, because planMap always masks it. It is a
non-crash boundary pin, weaker than the other rows, and is recorded as such
rather than presented as equivalent.

* enhance(#3897): §8.3 rungs 2-4 — one marker reader, a derived sandbox, the third depends_on tier

ADR-3473 §8.3 has four rungs. #3883/PR #3896 shipped the first. These are the
other three.

Rung 2 — the install marker had four readers, and resolveRuntime was not one.

  resolveRuntime resolved GSD_RUNTIME > config.runtime > 'claude' and read no
  marker, while bin/install.js writes one (#2297) and four hand-rolled
  readInstallRuntimeMarker copies existed: src/model-resolver.cts (cached, with
  seams), hooks/gsd-agent-isolation-guard.js, and twice in
  hooks/gsd-cursor-subagent-start.js.

  model-resolver's was already the house idiom, so it was promoted rather than
  replaced: src/runtime-slash.cts now owns it, and model-resolver plus both
  hooks delegate. The hooks reach it through ensureRuntimeBuild(), the seam
  lint-hooks-runtime-build-seam enforces. No import cycle existed - checked
  both directions before moving anything.

  The marker is the THIRD rung: env > project config > marker > 'claude'.

  N1 was checked rather than assumed, and my first reading of it was wrong. A
  marker holding an unknown name comes back essentially verbatim, which looked
  like a validation gap. Measured against the env rung with the same inputs -
  including "../../etc/passwd" and "claude;rm -rf /" - the two are identical,
  because they share resolveRuntimeNameFromCandidates. N1 asks for exactly that,
  and it is met. The residual (the shared normalizer normalizes shape, it does
  not validate against the known-runtime set) is pre-existing on the env rung
  and plausibly deliberate, since a new runtime should not need a code change.
  The marker also does not widen the trust boundary in any real sense: it lives
  inside the install tree beside the code, so anyone who can write it can write
  runtime-slash.cjs itself.

Rung 3 — the map was redundant; the silent fallback was the defect.

  Measured across all 35 files in agents/, deriving workspace-write iff tools:
  declares Write or Edit: all 11 CODEX_AGENT_SANDBOX entries derive to their
  mapped value exactly, zero disagreements. The map carried nothing the contract
  did not already have, so it is DELETED rather than reconciled. What was
  actually broken is `|| 'read-only'`, which silently under-granted 24 of 35
  roles.

  16 of those 24 declare Write or Edit and would widen under derivation. Per the
  maintainer's decision (HALT.md), they are held at read-only pending the
  question of whether Codex enforces sandbox_mode or merely advises. Emitted
  TOML is therefore byte-identical for all 35 roles - asserted per role, not in
  aggregate, because an aggregate passes while one role silently widens.

  The hold list self-invalidates. A hold whose role no longer derives broader
  fails, and so does a hold naming a role with no agents/<name>.md. Without
  that it would rot into exactly the hand-maintained subset map being deleted,
  and this commit's own ledger claim would become false over time. Both cases
  were proved by injecting them and watching them throw.

  Two committed tests asserted the deleted map's existence and contents. They
  were pinning the thing being removed, so the tests moved rather than the
  production code: the 11 role-value pairs survive as a test-local
  PRE_3897_CODEX_AGENT_SANDBOX baseline, and the assertions now drive the real
  derivation against real agents/*.md. The coverage is preserved; only its
  source moved out of production code.

  validate agents gains checkCodexSandboxPosture, mirroring the existing
  checkCodexModelPosture: each installed TOML's sandbox_mode must equal the
  role's expected value, failing with role, expected and found. It previously
  checked file presence and manifest completeness only, so a TOML whose
  sandbox_mode disagreed passed.

Rung 4 — shortFormToId, recovered rather than invented.

  I nearly reported this as another wrong §8.3 claim: git log -S returns only
  documentation commits. Wrong instrument. sdk/src/query/phase.ts at 11918dcc3^
  carries five occurrences, and the implementation here matches that code rather
  than a guess at its semantics - including first-write-wins on a duplicate
  short form, deterministic from the sorted plan order.

  It resolves the bare plan number: depends_on: ["01"] now reaches
  26-01-auth-hardening. That is a control-flow change, not a diagnostic one -
  plans that silently collapsed into a single wave 1 now execute in their
  declared waves, and execute-phase.md consumes those wave values.

  In-phase only, by construction: the map is built from this phase's rawPlans,
  so a same-named short form in another phase does not resolve.

  #3785's display-mapping passthrough and #3885's unresolvable-token warning and
  wave-verdict suppression are untouched and stay green. If the third tier had
  over-reached, those are what would have caught it.

* fix(#3897): close a fail-open I introduced, and wire the posture check to its command

Two blockers from review. Both are mine, and one is a security regression my own
change created.

1. A held role could escape its hold by editing its own frontmatter.

  The Codex install loop set the sandbox identity from the agent's frontmatter
  `name:` field rather than from its filename, so the hold lookup keyed off a
  value the file itself declares:

    deriveCodexSandboxMode('gsd-doc-writer',   <real file>)          -> read-only
    deriveCodexSandboxMode('gsd-doc-writer-x', <same file, name: edited>) -> workspace-write
    deriveCodexSandboxMode('GSD-Doc-Writer',   <same file, name: recased>) -> workspace-write

  What makes this a blocker rather than a nit is the DIRECTION. The deleted
  CODEX_AGENT_SANDBOX map had the identical lookup-key quirk, but it was an
  allowlist: an unmatched key fell back to read-only, which is safe. The new
  scheme derives workspace-write from the tool contract and uses the hold as a
  subtraction, so the same mismatch fails OPEN. I converted a fail-closed quirk
  into a fail-open one and did not notice; the isolated reviewer proved it by
  execution.

  Neither safety net caught it. validateCodexSandboxHolds only checks that
  <key>.md exists, never that a file's derived identity matches its key.
  checkCodexSandboxPosture looks the canonical source up by the installed TOML's
  filename, finds nothing for a renamed agent, and treats it as a custom
  non-roster agent — silently no violation.

  The identity is now the FILENAME STEM, which is what validateCodexSandboxHolds
  already validates and what an attacker editing frontmatter cannot change
  without renaming the file — at which point the existing validator catches it.
  The lookup is case-insensitive so a recase does not slip past either. The
  frontmatter name still drives the TOML body and filename, unchanged; only the
  sandbox identity moved.

  All 35 roster files were checked: name matches filename stem everywhere, so a
  stricter "they must agree or throw" invariant would have been safe against real
  content. It is deliberately NOT added — it would abort an install on a tampered
  file where emitting a correctly-derived read-only TOML is the safer outcome.
  Recorded as a fork rather than decided silently.

2. checkCodexSandboxPosture was exported and never called.

  cmdValidateAgents (src/verify.cts) called checkAgentsInstalled and
  checkCodexModelPosture only; grep for the sandbox check in that file returned
  nothing. So criterion 3 — "validate agents fails on semantic drift, not only on
  missing files" — was unmet, and `validate agents` behaved exactly as before.
  That is ADR-3473 Decision 2's named shape: a declared policy with no executor.

  It also meant the T28 test asserted at the helper's return value while the
  COMMAND stayed broken — the ADR-3180 Decision 4(b) failure this epic exists to
  close, committed by me while enforcing it elsewhere in the same epic.

  Now wired as an additive `sandbox_posture` field beside `codex_posture`,
  following the sibling precedent exactly. Drift is report-only, not a non-zero
  exit, because that is what checkCodexModelPosture does — two sibling posture
  checks disagreeing about whether a violation is fatal would be its own defect.
  The choice is recorded in a comment rather than left implicit. A consumer-output
  test now drives the real CLI and asserts on the emitted JSON, and was shown
  failing before the wiring and passing after.

Also corrected a stale artifact: the design's Known limit L1 still claimed rung 3
was not in this deliverable, written while it was halted and false once the
maintainer unblocked it.

Verified after both fixes: the three bypass probes all return read-only, the
per-role table is 35/35 byte-identical, and both hold self-invalidation cases
still throw.

* docs(#3897): the marker rung, the derived sandbox, and the bare plan-number depends_on

Reference: the runtime precedence ladder in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md gains the install
marker rung; docs/COMMANDS.md documents validate agents' new sandbox_posture
field; docs/reference/plan-md.md documents that depends_on accepts the bare plan
number.

Explanation: a docs/features fragment keyed id 3897, so it cannot collide with a
concurrent PR hand-allocating a section number, regenerated into FEATURES.md.

ADR-3473 §8.3 gains an ANSWER blockquote in the document's own correction style,
recording what was measured and built against the section's 2026-08-26 correction
- including the qualification that checkAgentsInstalled itself still checks
presence only, and the semantic assertion lives in a sibling wired into validate
agents rather than folded into it.

No how-to. Both user-visible changes are zero-step: a non-Claude install resolving
its own runtime, and plans executing in their declared waves, both happen without
the user doing anything. docs/how-to/control-the-reported-host-runtime.md covers a
DIFFERENT ladder (resolveReportedRuntime / agent_runtime) that this change does
not touch, and was deliberately left alone rather than edited by association.

No tutorial - nothing multi-step to walk through. docs/AGENTS.md unchanged: it
documents Claude-side tools frontmatter, never Codex sandbox_mode, and the
emitted tools contract did not change.

The prompt layer documents depends_on only by example, not by schema, so nothing
there needed editing - and few-shot-examples/plan-checker.md already showed
depends_on: ['01'], which now actually resolves.

Translated copies of plan-md.md are untouched; the project treats translations as
community-maintained.

* fix(#3897): move the sandbox derivation out of the installer, off the install path, and off a third parser

The full suite came back with 26 failures across four files. Three distinct
causes, mapped individually rather than assuming the first explained the rest.

A. Requiring bin/install.js printed the GSD banner to stdout and corrupted
   `validate agents` JSON.

     Unexpected token '', "[36m   ██"... is not valid JSON

   checkCodexSandboxPosture reached deriveCodexSandboxMode by lazily requiring
   bin/install.js, whose module load prints the ASCII banner. So the command
   emitted banner bytes before its JSON and every JSON consumer broke, including
   ten tests that predate this branch. src/ reaching into bin/ was backwards
   layering that happened to also be loud.

   The derivation now lives in src/codex-agent-toml.cts - the existing Codex TOML
   domain module, no new module and no six-gate ripple - and both bin/install.js
   and src/agent-install-check.cts import it. One owner, which is §8.3's rule
   applied to the fix for §8.3.

B. The stale-hold throw fired on a legitimate partial source dir, and masked a
   security assertion.

   validateCodexSandboxHolds treated "this hold's .md is absent from the install
   SOURCE dir" as a stale hold and threw. A test fixture, or any partial install
   source, legitimately contains a couple of agents. Worse, it threw BEFORE the
   path-escape check, so a test asserting that a `../../evil` frontmatter name is
   rejected got my unrelated error instead of the traversal rejection it was
   written for. A fail-closed check of mine was hiding a real security check.

   The "no stale holds, shrink-only" invariant is a property of the repo's
   canonical agents/ roster, not of whatever directory an install happens to read.
   It is off the runtime path and enforced where it belongs, in the tests that
   already existed for it. A partial source dir now installs cleanly, and the
   evil-name case throws with its own escapes-configHome message again.

C. T8 depended on ambient process.env state.

   The marker/env parity assertion round-tripped through live process.env. It now
   compares against resolveExplicitRuntime's already-exported dependency-injection
   parameter - deterministic and hermetic, same claim. Proven still falsifiable
   rather than assumed: with the marker rung's normalization temporarily bypassed
   the two rungs diverge ("codex\n../../etc/passwd" vs "codex-../../etc/passwd")
   and the assertion fails, then passes again once reverted.

One correction folded in along the way. The first version of the move added
private _extractFrontmatterAndBody/_extractFrontmatterField helpers to
codex-agent-toml.cts - a THIRD copy of frontmatter extraction, where the graph
already shows two (bin/install.js:2348, runtime-artifact-conversion.cts:893).
Adding a third inside the epic whose thesis is one implementation per rule is not
defensible. deriveCodexSandboxMode no longer parses anything: it takes
(identity, toolsValue) and each caller supplies the tools value using the
extractor it already has. Both helpers are deleted. The identity argument is
still the filename stem, so the fail-open fix is untouched.

Verified after all three: `validate agents --raw` emits parseable JSON with no
banner and both posture fields; the four hold-bypass probes still return
read-only; the per-role table is 35/35 byte-identical at 26 read-only / 9
workspace-write; the hold list is still 16.

* fix(#3897): drop a dev-only transitive dep, make the derivation total, retire a stale fallback test

Suite down to 7 failures from 26. Three more causes, mapped individually.

A. My extractor import dragged in a script that does not exist in an installed
   tree.

     Cannot find module '../../../scripts/fix-slash-commands.cjs'

   Chain: src/agent-install-check.cts imported runtime-artifact-conversion.cjs,
   which requires command-roster.cjs, whose line 36 requires
   ../../../scripts/fix-slash-commands.cjs. That path exists in the repo and not
   in an install, so every test exercising a synthetic install dir died at module
   load. I picked that extractor for convenience without checking what it pulls
   in - the same mistake that produced the banner bug, one layer further out.

   agent-install-check now uses a single-purpose extractToolsLine on
   codex-agent-toml.cts. That is deliberately NOT a general frontmatter parser:
   we deleted those helpers a commit ago for good reason, and this reads one
   line. Verified from outside the repo root that requiring either module prints
   nothing and does not throw.

B. A test pinned the deleted name-based fallback.

   'defaults unknown agents to read-only' called generateCodexAgentToml with a
   fixture declaring tools: Read, Write, Edit. Under derivation an unknown agent
   with a writing contract correctly derives workspace-write - design row S6, a
   new writing role gets the contract, not the pin. The behavior it asserted was
   the silent fallback this rung deleted; identity no longer decides the sandbox.

   Replaced with two rows rather than a flipped string: no tools declared ->
   read-only (absence is not a grant), and Write/Edit declared -> workspace-write.
   Strictly more coverage than the row it replaces.

C. The stale-hold check still threw per derivation call.

   Last commit took the roster-existence check off the install path, but
   deriveCodexSandboxMode itself still threw when a hold's role did not derive
   broader FOR THE CONTENT IT WAS HANDED - so it fired on any synthetic fixture
   for a held role.

   The throw is gone, and it cost nothing: if a held role's content does not
   derive broader, the hold pins read-only and derivation returns read-only
   anyway, so the hold is a no-op and there is nothing to fail about. The
   staleness invariant is a property of the real agents/ roster, and
   validateCodexSandboxHolds still enforces it there - confirmed against the real
   roster after the change, not assumed.

   deriveCodexSandboxMode is now total: every (identity, toolsValue) including
   undefined and null returns read-only or workspace-write, never throws.

Verified: validate agents emits parseable JSON; the four hold-bypass probes
return read-only; the per-role table is 35/35 at 26 read-only / 9
workspace-write.

* docs(#3897): put the rung-3 decision in the shipped docs instead of pointing at an ignored path

The ADR entry and the feature fragment both ended their rung-3 explanation with
"see .gsd/phase/feat-3897-adr3473-83-rungs/45-decision-rung3-sandbox.md". That
directory is gitignored (.gitignore:55), so the rationale for holding 16 roles at
read-only was reachable only from the machine that produced it. A reader of the
ADR got a pointer to nothing.

Both now carry the reasoning inline: the criterion asks both that the sandbox
derive from the declared tool contract and that no role gain a broader sandbox,
and those cannot both hold, because a faithful derivation widens 16 roles the
deleted map never listed and that fell through its silent read-only default. The
resolution is derive-and-hold - the derivation owns the rule now, each hold is
released as its enforcement question is answered, and a hold is reversible where
a widened sandbox that turns out to be enforced is not.

Checked before assuming this was a defect class: CONTEXT.md cites
.gsd/phase/<slug>/40-design.md as its standard Design: provenance line in eight
module entries, and four other shipped docs do the same. Citing a phase artifact
is an established convention here, so those are left alone. What was wrong was
specific to these two: they put load-bearing rationale behind the pointer instead
of provenance.

* fix(#3897): close a fail-open, stop a silent mis-resolution, and read a declaration as a declaration

Two orthogonal reviews on the shipped sha. Three of the findings are the same
failure class this epic exists to close, committed inside it.

1. BLOCKER - the sandbox was decided for one identity and applied to another.

   bin/install.js derived sandbox_mode for the filename stem and then wrote the
   result to `${name}.toml`, where name comes from the file's own frontmatter.
   Make the two disagree and a HELD role's artifact goes wide:

     rename gsd-doc-writer.md -> gsd-doc-writer-v2.md, keep name: gsd-doc-writer
       -> stem is unheld, derives workspace-write, lands on gsd-doc-writer.toml
     add any gsd-*.md whose frontmatter name: is a held role
       -> clobbers that role's toml with workspace-write

   Both emit read-only on origin/next, because the deleted map was an allowlist
   and a miss fell back safe. This is a regression my change introduced. The
   previous review round moved the HOLD KEY off frontmatter to the filename stem
   and left the OUTPUT PATH on frontmatter; my own comment at install.js:6985
   calls that value attacker-editable, four lines above the line that uses it as
   the filename.

   The decision is now made over BOTH candidate identities, most-restrictive
   wins: if either the stem or the emitted name is held, the mode is read-only.

2. MAJOR - hold matching was toLowerCase() only, so confusables escaped.

   Turkish dotted/dotless i, fullwidth, NFD, trailing space/NBSP/dot/newline,
   ./ and ../agents/ all slipped the hold and emitted workspace-write.
   Identities are now basenamed, trimmed of NBSP/zero-width/control characters,
   NFKC-normalized and lowercased - and anything still carrying a character
   outside [a-z0-9._-] is treated as suspicious and derives read-only. We do not
   enumerate confusables; every shipped roster file is ASCII, so refusing to
   widen on an identity we cannot recognize is fail-closed with no false
   positives on real content.

3. MAJOR - the short-form depends_on tier mis-resolved SILENTLY.

   shortFormToId keyed on the last dash-segment of any canonical id with no
   constraint that it is a plan number, so a phase holding 09-FIX-auth-PLAN.md
   made depends_on: ["auth"] bind at wave 2 with zero warnings. This is the
   worst shape in the epic: the unresolvable-token warning fires on a DROPPED
   token, so a MIS-RESOLVED one is invisible and the tool reports a confident
   wave assignment built from a wrong edge. A wrong edge is worse than a missing
   one.

   The segment must now match /^\d+$/, which is exactly the contract
   docs/reference/plan-md.md already documents. This tier was recovered verbatim
   from the retired SDK lineage, which carried the same defect; we are
   deliberately NOT preserving it bug-for-bug, and the comment says so, so the
   next reader does not "restore" it.

4. MAJOR - the derivation was reading a declaration as an absence.

   extractToolsLine read one line, so a YAML list-form tools: block returned only
   its first item. Two roster files use list form, and gsd-nyquist-auditor
   declares Write and Edit there - parsed as "- Read", found no write tool, and
   emitted read-only. Rung 3's headline claim is that sandbox_mode derives from
   the declared tool contract; that claim was false for 2 of 35 roles and
   materially wrong for 1. Reading a declaration as an absence is the silent-drop
   class this epic exists to close.

   Renamed extractToolsValue and taught it both shapes. gsd-nyquist-auditor now
   derives workspace-write and joins CODEX_SANDBOX_HOLDS as its 17th entry, per
   the standing derive-and-hold decision - so emitted TOML stays byte-identical
   at 26 read-only / 9 workspace-write while the hold list finally records every
   role that would widen. A previous pass declined this fix because it moved the
   count; that inverts the priority. Byte-identity is preserved THROUGH the hold,
   not by leaving a parser broken.

   Divergence check, because this is where that bug hides: both paths feeding
   sandbox derivation - install.js's emitter and checkCodexSandboxPosture - now
   route through the one extractor. The tools readers in
   runtime-artifact-conversion and install.js's other frontmatter call sites
   serve Claude-side emission and do not feed sandbox derivation.

Also fixed, each real: the posture check's `found` used a naive whole-file regex
where its own sibling uses the block-aware scanner, so prose inside
developer_instructions produced a false violation; `found` skipped
truncatePostureValue and leaked a 300-char value into validate agents output;
deriveCodexSandboxMode's absolute never-throws claim was false for an object with
a throwing toString; T49 could not falsify cross-phase leakage (its target phase
had its own 01, so a globally-scoped map passed too); T20/N6 iterated a hardcoded
table and pinned the FIXTURE size, so a 36th agent would be silently unchecked;
three tests reimplemented the code they were testing instead of importing it; and
T2-T4 deleted GSD_RUNTIME without restoring it.

Verified: hold list 17, gsd-nyquist-auditor derives workspace-write unheld and
emits read-only held, roster 35/35 at 26/9, depends_on ["auth"] no longer
resolves while ["01"] still does, both identity-bypass cases and every confusable
vector emit read-only.

* docs(#3897): the hold list is 17, and the reason the 17th was missing

The count read 16 because the derivation could not read the declaration it
claimed to derive from: the tools reader was single-line, so a YAML list-form
tools: block returned only its first item and gsd-nyquist-auditor's declared
Write and Edit were read as an absence.

Both the ADR entry and the feature fragment now carry the corrected count and the
reason for it, rather than a silently updated number. Deriving from a declaration
you cannot parse is not deriving, and a flattering count is worse than a wrong
one because it looks settled.

docs/FEATURES.md regenerated from the fragment.

7a02f98574 fix(#3493): confine key_links from:/to: to the project directory (#3506)
`cmdVerifyKeyLinks` resolved `from:` and `to:` with `path.join(cwd, <value>)` where the value comes verbatim from plan YAML. `path.join` normalizes `../` rather than rejecting it, so a plan travelling with a repository could name any file the process can read, and the command reports whether the link's `pattern` matched it — an arbitrary-file-read oracle reachable from `verify-phase`.

Both reads now go through `validatePath` in src/security.cts, the existing realpath-based confinement seam already used at 11 call sites. Not a missing capability — a bypassed one.

Two defects in that seam, found by adversarial review and fixed here because they affect all 11 callers:

1. A dangling in-project symlink escaped confinement. A link to an EXISTING outside path was refused (realpath lands outside) while a link to a MISSING outside path took the parent-resolution fallback and was accepted — an existence oracle for arbitrary absolute paths. lstat succeeds on a dangling link and throws ENOENT on a truly absent path; an unresolvable link is now refused. A symlink resolving inside the project is still accepted.

2. A canonicalized base was compared against an uncanonicalized path when a file and its parent were both missing, wrongly refusing legitimate in-project paths on any non-canonical cwd (every macOS temp dir). This was a live regression in this PR: the wave-pending classification (#1202) depends on the not-yet-created case. Resolution now walks up to the nearest existing ancestor.

Two adjacent aborts fixed: the from: read sat outside the per-link try, so a non-ENOENT errno killed the whole command; and an empty from: read the cwd directory, throwing EISDIR. Both now fail per-link.

The issue was filed as a fourth ADR-0174 consolidation loss. It is not one — validatePath/requireSafePath never went away, only the SDK's name for the concept did. This is an instance of epic #3473's F2 family. The ADR-0174 loss count is three.

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.

d1760e3c31 refactor(#3309): migrate cmdValidateHealth onto the rule table
Replaces cmdValidateHealth's hand-rolled addIssue/switch accumulation
(961 lines) with buildPlanningSnapshot -> evaluateRules -> map to the
legacy {code, message, fix, repairable} shape, bucketed by severity.
Two pre-checks (home-dir E010/I010, .planning/-root-missing E001) stay
outside the rule table entirely, per ADR-3180 §8.2 rule 4 ("no
precedence system") — building "some rules suppress others" into the
table would itself be the forbidden precedence system.

W024 (STATE.md commit-age freshness) also stays outside the table:
its committed rule is a documented permanent no-op (readStateHeadFreshness's
git-log shell-out is ambient I/O a Rule.check may never perform, and no
PlanningSnapshot field carries a commits-behind count). Migrating onto
the rule table as designed would have silently regressed 7 passing
tests in tests/health-validation.test.cjs — found while wiring this
function, kept as a real check in the wrapper instead (same I/O
license applyRepairs already relies on), fixed inline per this repo's
no-defer policy rather than accepted as a silent loss.

Ports the real repair-handler bodies (createConfig/resetConfig,
regenerateState, addNyquistKey/addAiIntegrationPhaseKey,
backfillMilestones) into health-diagnostic.cts's applyRepairs,
replacing the skeleton's stub. DESTRUCTIVE-risk remedies
(resetConfig/regenerateState) are refused by --repair — a disclosed
breaking change; repairable now means "an automatic repair will
actually run," not merely "a remedy exists to describe," so E004/E005
now report repairable:false. --backfill alone now actually triggers
backfillMilestones, fixing a latent bug where its gate was unreachable
without --repair also being set (verify.cts:2504, confirmed dead code
pre-migration).

Test updates distinguish the two explicitly-authorized behavior
changes (DESTRUCTIVE refusal, backfill-alone fix, W021->W026 split)
from preservation — every changed assertion is commented with why, and
new regression tests were added for both changes plus W021/W026
mutual independence. Drift-guard bookkeeping (bypass-baseline shrunk
to the one disclosed W024 exception, milestone-window and
phase-enumeration exemptions, test-file-count allowlist) updated for
the relocated/new functions this migration introduces.

77374cfc32 fix(#2528): resolve digit-leading phase directories by bare number (#2559)
* fix(#2528): resolve digit-slug phase dirs by bare number — tokenizer rewind, shared bare-integer fallback, resolution-path parity gate

extractPhaseToken welded 2-digit slug words onto the phase token (phase 10
named "24/7 Autonomy" -> dir 10-24-7 -> token 10-24), making digit-prefixed
phase names unresolvable by bare number across every phase verb.

- phase-id: continuation segments must be the PURE 2-digit zero-padded form
  the write side emits; a 1-digit terminator rewinds the absorbed run
  (10-24-7 -> 10) while >=2-digit terminators keep the locked #2232
  round-trip (14-06-2026-photos -> 14-06).
- phase-id: new matchPhaseDirs owner — primary exact-token match plus a
  bare-integer leading-digit-run fallback for shapes the tokenizer cannot
  rewind (05-80-20-cleanup); collisions stay #2237-loud.
- locator/find-phase/phase-plan-index all delegate selection to the owner;
  plan-index gains the previously missing multi-match guard.
- tests: #2528 unit + fast-check metamorphic blocks; new 9-scenario
  resolution-path parity gate across all three paths.

* fix(#2528): route the fourth resolution site through matchPhaseDirs

Review BLOCKER. smart-entry.cts::detectVerifyFailed resolved the current
phase's directory with its own `.find(phaseTokenMatches)` and never
reached the shared selection, so the bare-integer-fallback family the
issue names — `05-80-20-cleanup`, `30-12-factor-refactor` — resolved
nowhere. The miss is silent by construction: an unresolved phase reports
"not failed", which is byte-identical to a healthy one, so a failed
verification simply never surfaced in /gsd or /gsd:progress.

`entries` is already sorted and matchPhaseDirs filters without
reordering, so matches[0] reproduces the previous selection exactly
wherever the old code resolved at all.

Wiring it into phase-resolution-parity.test.cjs as a fourth path then
exposed a second, older defect in the same function: phaseTokenFromDirName
shape-probed the UNSTRIPPED token, so a project-code-prefixed directory
(`MEM-05-…`, tokenizing to `MEM-05-80-20`) failed the leading-digit test
and was dropped before any resolution ran — every phase in a
project-coded plan was invisible to this check. The probe now runs on the
stripped token; the returned value is unchanged, so the comparePhaseNum
sort is untouched.

Path 4 has no JSON surface to compare, so the gate observes selection
indirectly: plant the failing artifact in exactly one directory and a
passing one everywhere else, then read the boolean. Reverting either fix
turns 5 of the 10 corpus scenarios red.

* refactor(#2528): collapse the duplicated extractCanonicalPlanId

Review MAJOR. The function existed as two independent, byte-identical
copies — src/core-utils.cts and src/phase.cts — and this PR had to patch
BOTH with the same single-digit-slug rewind rule. That is the generative
fix divergence CLAUDE.md names, and only the core-utils copy was under
test, so a future one-sided patch would have silently split plan-id
canonicalization between the plan listing and everything else.

Removed rather than parity-tested: core-utils was already the leaf owner
and already exported it, and phase.cts already imported that module, so
there is no second surface left for a parity test to police.

* test(#2528): pin matchPhaseDirs at the digit-width boundaries

Review MAJOR. The bare-integer fallback's correctness rests entirely on
capturing each directory's whole leading digit run before the zero-strip
compare; a regex that stopped short would turn every query into a prefix
match, and "1" would claim 10, 100, and 12 alike. The existing coverage
was example-based and never touched that boundary.

Adds the explicit 9/10 and 1/10/100 cases — including the forms where
only the wider directories exist, so an exact-width neighbour cannot
satisfy the assertion — plus a fast-check property over arbitrary
distinct leading runs. The property is stated as an invariant on the
result (every returned directory's leading run IS the query) rather than
an expected list, so it covers primary and fallback matches alike and
cannot be satisfied by reimplementing the selection in the test.

Both fail when the fallback regex is degraded to a prefix match.

* fix(#2528): route the remaining eight consumers through matchPhaseDirs

phaseTokenMatches had eight consumers left that each rebuilt the directory
selection around it by hand: phases-list, next-decimal, phase-remove, the
W021 milestone-consistency check, schema-drift, the init-manager overview,
milestone-complete's disk check, and roadmap analyze. Every one of them
reproduced the reported symptom in full after the tokenizer was fixed.

None of them derives a displayed phase number from the matched directory,
so none needs phaseNumberForMatch; the change at each site is the
selection and nothing else. matchPhaseDirs filters without reordering, so
matches[0] reproduces the prior .find() choice wherever the old code
resolved at all.

phaseTokenMatches now has no call sites outside phase-id.cts. It stays
exported as the primitive matchPhaseDirs is built from and as a pinned
canonical surface, but no consumer reaches past the owner to it.

* test(#2528): extend the parity gate to the migrated consumers

Each of the eight is observed through the surface a user sees, not
through the matcher, with a no-directory control so the assertions cannot
be satisfied by a consumer that resolves unconditionally. init-manager
and roadmap-analyze are additionally asserted to agree with each other.

* refactor(#2528): own the case-flexible phase grammar and the leading-digit-run fragment

validate.cts derived its case-flexible regex sources by running
`replaceAll('A-Z', 'A-Za-z')` over two constants exported by phase-id.cts.
That passes lint-phase-id-drift.cjs — there is no literal copy of the
grammar — but it depends on the owner rendering that exact substring. The
day phase-id.cts expresses the same class any other way the replaceAll
silently no-ops and validate.cts narrows to uppercase-only. The failure
mode is a NON-match, so nothing throws and no uppercase-only fixture
notices. Both variants are now derived once, beside the sources they
widen, and imported.

Also names the leading digit run the bare-integer fallback selects on.
It was spelled `/^(\d+)(?:-|$)/` where the fallback filters and `/^\d+/`
where phaseNumberForMatch reads the number back off the winner; selecting
on one run and displaying another would resolve a directory and then label
it with a number that never matched it.

* fix(#2528): refuse to remove a phase when two directories claim its number

cmdPhaseRemove was the only migrated site taking matches[0] with no
multi-match guard. Every sibling resolution path returns ambiguous_matches
and refuses to choose; this one is the DESTRUCTIVE path, so choosing
silently is strictly worse than anywhere else. With 05-80-20-a and
05-90-till-late on disk, `phase remove 5 --force` deleted one of them and
renumbered every phase after it — where the base resolved nothing, deleted
nothing, and the corpus in tests/phase-resolution-parity.test.cjs already
declared that exact input ambiguous.

The refusal is emitted before any file is touched and carries both
candidates. CONSUMER_SCENARIOS could not express the case — every row is
binary, resolving to one directory or to none — so the gate gains a
dedicated ambiguous test. It asserts on the filesystem, not only on the
reported directory_deleted: a null printed after an rmSync would satisfy
every other check.

* fix(#2528): pair digit-leading phase directories with their roadmap phase in validate health

W006/W007 are the ninth site of this bug class and the one a
`phaseTokenMatches` grep could never surface: they resolve roadmap↔disk by
intersecting TOKEN SETS, which is a dir→token labelling rather than the
query→dir selection matchPhaseDirs owns. On the canonical fixture the
label is wrong in both directions at once, so `validate health` reported
"Phase 5 in ROADMAP.md but no directory on disk" AND "Phase 05-80-20
exists on disk but not in ROADMAP.md" for the same directory.

collectDiskPhases now keeps the directory names behind each token, so
W006 can ask the canonical matcher whether a roadmap phase resolves to a
real directory, and W007 — which iterates directories and therefore has no
query to resolve — gets the inverse mapping it never had: a directory is
claimed when some roadmap phase resolves to it.

Both checks are additive: the token intersection still decides every shape
it already decided, and the resolution can only REMOVE a warning. The
regression test carries controls in the other direction — a roadmap phase
with no directory must still raise W006, an unclaimed directory must still
raise W007 — so it cannot be satisfied by a check that stopped reporting.

* docs(#2528): state and pin the directory-side scope of the bare-integer fallback

The matchPhaseDirs docblock claimed deep-decomposition lookups were
untouched. That is true of the QUERY side only — no non-bare query enters
the fallback — but the DIRECTORY side is what changed classification: a
bare `5` now reaches a lone `05-01-auth` and resolves it (phase_number
"05", phase_name "01-auth") where the base found nothing.

The widening is irreducible from directory names alone. `05-01-auth`
(sub-phase 5.1) and `30-12-factor-refactor` (phase 30 named "12-Factor
Refactor") are the same `NN-NN-<slug>` shape, and the discriminator that
would separate them — "is the second segment a valid decimal sub-phase" —
accepts `5.1` and `30.12` equally. Any rule strong enough to exclude the
first excludes the second, which is the defect #2528 exists to fix. So the
tie is broken in favour of resolving, the docblock now says so, and the
consequence is bounded where it matters: two such directories are two
matches, and every caller (including phase remove) refuses to choose.

Pins both directions, since nothing observed the directory side before.

* fix(#2528): count surviving phases by identity in phase remove's STATE resync

#2640 landed on `next` while this branch was open. Its STATE.md phase-count
resync re-derives "which directory was removed" from the query with
`phaseTokenMatches`, which is the tenth site of this issue's defect: the
bare-integer fallback resolves `05-80-20-cleanup` for query `5`, but the
token predicate does not, so the just-deleted directory is counted as still
present and the written `Total Phases` is one too high.

`targetDir` already IS the directory that was removed, and the block is gated
on it being non-null, so identity answers the question exactly — which is also
what the comment above the filter already claimed it did. This keeps
`phaseTokenMatches` out of `phase.cts` rather than re-importing it to satisfy
one call site: the module's public surface should not grow for a question that
does not need re-derivation.

Pinned in the parity gate with a control on a directory the tokenizer reads
correctly, so the assertion is about the digit-leading shape and not about the
counting rule changing for everything.

* fix(#2528): let the resolution layer own the digit-leading slug family alone

The tokenizer rewind this fix carried — pop the last absorbed continuation when
the segment that stopped the scan is a bare single digit — reads
"10-24-7-autonomy" (phase 10 named "24/7 Autonomy") correctly and silently
re-reads "10-24-7-zip" (sub-phase 10.24 named "7-Zip Integration") from "10-24"
to "10". The two names are string-identical in shape, so no local signal
separates them; the rule traded the reported ambiguity for the symmetric one a
level down, on a 15-caller chokepoint whose output also feeds query-less
derivations (STATE.md phase counts, W007, the #2562 key surface). A well-formed
sub-phase directory became unresolvable by its own id — the very symptom #2528
was filed about.

It also bought nothing. The bare-integer fallback in matchPhaseDirs already
resolves "10-24-7-autonomy" for query "10" whatever the token is: no primary
match, bare query, leading digit run "10". The reported case was covered twice,
by two rules, and the two disagreed about the case nobody reported.

So the rewind is removed rather than narrowed, in the tokenizer and in the five
surfaces kept in lockstep with it (BRACKET_PHASE_TOKEN_SOURCE,
PHASE_TOKEN_FROM_DIR_RE, canonicalPlanStem's pair grammar and its collision
branch, roadmap-parser's numericRe, extractCanonicalPlanId), together with the
SINGLE_DIGIT_RUN_SEGMENT_SOURCE owner constant they shared. Disambiguation now
lives only where a QUERY exists to disambiguate against, which is the same
bounded mechanism the "05-80-20-cleanup" shape already used.

Measured, not argued: over 29800 generated directory names, extractPhaseToken is
byte-identical to `next` on every input except the lowercase-continuation class
("01-20a", "05-80-20-25abc") — a rule about the segment itself, not a guess about
its neighbour.

Both readings now stay reachable by their own ids:
  matchPhaseDirs(['10-24-7-autonomy'], '10')    -> the dir   (fallback)
  matchPhaseDirs(['10-24-7-zip'],      '10')    -> the dir   (fallback)
  matchPhaseDirs(['10-24-7-zip'],      '10-24') -> the dir   (primary)

* test(#2528): pin the one-continuation boundary the rewind had no coverage for

The regressing shape was invisible to the suite by construction, not by luck:
the deep-rewind property built its cases from `continuationArb` with
`minLength: 2`, so it never exercised the single-continuation case — exactly one
genuine sub-phase level before a digit-leading slug — and every hand-written
fixture used the ambiguous shape only where "phase-plus-slug" was the intended
reading.

`continuationArb` is now `minLength: 1` and the property states the invariant
instead of the old rule: for any prefix, phase, 1-5 continuations and any
one-digit terminator, the token equals the FULL continuation run on both the
imperative and the regex surface, and `matchPhaseDirs([dir], token)` returns that
dir. That third assertion is the one that catches the class on its own — the old
behaviour made a well-formed directory unresolvable by its own id, which is a
property, not a fixture.

Around it: "10-24-7-zip" and "10-24-3d-printer" now sit beside
"10-24-7-autonomy" everywhere the family is pinned, so the two readings can never
diverge again; the 24/7 metamorphic property asserts the RESOLUTION result rather
than the token (the token is precisely the part no surface may decide); the
end-to-end parity corpus gains "a sub-phase with a digit-leading slug resolves by
its full id" across all four resolution paths; and the milestone-scoping residual
is pinned in three directions rather than left to prose.

Mutation: re-inserting the rewind and rebuilding turns 9 tests red, the
`minLength: 1` property first, and nothing else. Build success checked separately
(build:lib reports 0 `error TS`), so the mutation reached the artifact under test.

* test(#2528): pin the #2946 guard against digit-leading phase directories

The #2946 fix makes the milestone-complete unstarted-phase guard run
unconditionally, so whether it fires now rides entirely on the
directory-resolution owner this PR replaces. Two cases, both with STATE.md
carrying no `milestone:` field so the #2946 path is the one exercised:

  - ROADMAP Phase 5, disk `05-80-20-cleanup` → guard must stay silent.
    RED on next (fail-closed: the guard blocks a legitimate one-way-door
    operation because phaseTokenMatches resolves neither 05 nor 80 for
    that directory).
  - ROADMAP Phase 80, same directory → guard must still fire. Green on
    both sides; it pins the fail-open direction against a future widening
    of the matcher.

* fix(#3175): stop the injection scanner reading RegExp.exec as code execution

The apostrophe fix in 27aa40f6 replaced ["\x27] with a real ["'] class.
The old class never contained an apostrophe at all (POSIX bracket
expressions do not honour backslash escapes, so it was the set ", \, x,
2, 7), so only exec(" matched. Single-quoted method calls now match for
the first time, and RegExp.prototype.exec takes a subject string, not
code: any PR touching a file that tests a regex goes red. On next, six
files match the scanner's own pattern across 16 method calls.

A plain [^[:alnum:]] boundary cannot separate the two forms because . is
not alnum, so exec gets [^[:alnum:].] and the command-execution vector
moves to a dedicated member-call pattern. Bare exec('rm -rf /'),
cp.exec(...) and child_process.exec(...) all still fire.

Mutation: reverting the boundary reds 1 test and only it; removing the
member-call pattern reds the 2 non-weakening tests and only them.

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

* fix(#2528): keep exec( detection receiver-blind, allowlist the two grammar suites

The left boundary [^[:alnum:].] added in 58a7b560 excluded a preceding dot,
which dropped every member-position .exec('…') from the scanner. The follow-up
receiver pattern only restored three literal spellings (child_process,
childProcess, cp), so require('child_process').exec('…') — the most common Node
spelling of the vector this pattern exists to catch — became invisible, along
with any opaque receiver (conn.exec, shelljs.exec).

Revert the pattern to its receiver-blind form and handle the RegExp.prototype
.exec false positive where the script already handles this class: per-file
ALLOWLIST entries for the two phase-token grammar suites. Mutation-checked —
removing the two entries reds exactly those two files and nothing else.

The four assertions written around the old patterns are replaced by a
table-driven set covering all six spellings, including the three the narrowed
pattern silently lost.

* docs(#2528): pin the three undeclared grammar edges, correct the ambiguity claim

Review round 10 asked for declaration, not behavior change, on four items. All
four have zero production consumers or preserve their caller's prior rule, so
each is pinned as a test or corrected in prose rather than reverted.

- BRACKET_PHASE_TOKEN_SOURCE: the (?=-|$) terminator is what keeps the bracket
  read path in step with the other surfaces, and it costs the display shapes
  (`05.03: Title`, `12A: X`, `05.03]` no longer tokenize). Pinned so widening
  the terminator class is a deliberate act rather than a lookahead deletion.
- canonicalPlanStem: uppercase plan suffixes still strip, lowercase and dotted
  sub-plans now fall through. Dead export; pinned as a decision on record.
- getMilestonePhaseFilter: `12A-01-foo` now yields `12A-01`, matching what
  `12-01-foo` has always yielded. The letter suffix was the only reason a
  sub-phase directory folded into its parent phase's milestone window; the two
  shapes now agree. Not named in the review — found auditing the same commit.
- matchPhaseDirs docblock claimed every caller refuses on multi-match. Four do;
  five take matches[0]. Replaced the claim with the actual two-tier policy and
  the honest caveat that the bare fallback makes multi-match newly reachable
  for queries that previously found nothing.

ae7dc52972 fix(#3225): guard W006/W007 + consistency loops with isSentinelPhaseId (#3371)
* test(#3225): sentinel phase dirs no longer trigger W007 / consistency warnings / gaps

The W006/W007 (validate health) and the parallel consistency disk↔roadmap and
gap-numbering loops never got the isSentinelPhaseId guard that phase.cts has
(#2786/#2949), so every sentinel phase dir (999.x/0.x — never-on-roadmap by
convention) produced a spurious W007 and a spurious 'Gap in phase numbering:
N → 999'. Add failing-first regressions for both surfaces + the gap check, each
with a non-sentinel orphan negative-space guard.

RED — fails on next; fix follows.

* fix(#3225): guard W006/W007 + consistency + gap loops with isSentinelPhaseId

cmdValidateHealth's W006/W007 loops, cmdValidateConsistency's parallel disk↔
roadmap loops, AND its gap-numbering check never got the isSentinelPhaseId guard
that phase.cts has at 10+ sites (#2786/#2949). So any repo using the sentinel-id
convention (999.x backlog/interim, 0.x drafts) got a permanent spurious W007 and
a spurious 'Gap in phase numbering: N → 999', with advice to add-to-roadmap
(violates the convention) or delete (destroys archived work).

Add isSentinelPhaseId to the phaseIdMod destructure and skip sentinel ids in:
W006 + W007 (cmdValidateHealth); the two plain-warning disk↔roadmap loops and
the gap-numbering integerPhases filter (cmdValidateConsistency — same bug family,
folded in inline per no-silent-defer). Additive only: non-sentinel orphans and
real numbering gaps still warn. The gap-numbering guard was surfaced by the
isolated review (a 999-interim dir would otherwise create a false 'N → 999' gap).
Same family as #3167 (since fixed).

e87fb409ee enhance(#2573): stamp STATE.md with its commit and surface a freshness hint (#2622)
* enhance(#2573): stamp STATE.md with its commit and surface a commit-age freshness hint

Adds a `state_head` stamp to STATE.md and derives a tri-state commit-age
freshness proxy (state_commits_behind / state_commit_stale) through
state.cjs's readStateHeadFreshness, surfaced on smart-entry signals and as
health W024. The proxy is advisory: classify() deliberately does NOT consume
it (ADR-1787 locks the classification/routing boundary — a signal, not a route).

Composes with #3099 and #1882 (both merged to next after this branch): the
commit-age proxy reads `state_head` while the LAST_ACTIVITY_UNPARSEABLE
diagnostic reads `last_activity` — two different fields, not "two staleness
signals on one field." A new regression test asserts a STATE.md carrying both
an unparseable last_activity AND a valid state_head resolves each independently
(diagnostic fires once; freshness reads state_head, commits_behind 0).

Rebased onto next (flattened): resolved the add/add conflicts in
src/smart-entry.cts (kept both the #2573 freshness import/derivation and the
#3099 diagnostic import/call) and tests/smart-entry.unit.test.cjs (kept both
describe blocks). Drift-ack for health.md's W024 row is unchanged (12348 B).
Tests: smart-entry 62, state/state-transition/health/verify 639, all pass.

* chore(#2573): allowlist health-validation test in the prompt-injection scan

The scanner's `exec('` code-execution pattern matches the benign
`re.exec('<phase-id>')` RegExp method calls in the phase-ID grammar tests
(pre-existing: 16 such calls on next, this PR adds none). The file entered the
diff-mode scan's changed-file set only because #2573's W024 state_head
assertions touch it. Allowlist it alongside the other test files that carry
pattern-matching content as data (same DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION
class). Scanner self-test 38/0; diff scan 14 files, 0 findings.

4a1ed2531f enhance(#3242): validate codex .toml model posture, not just presence (#3290)
* test(#3242): failing-first suite for the codex posture health-check

Specifies ADR-2313 D6 before the implementation exists, so the tests
bind to the contract rather than to whatever the code happens to do.

RED is established by construction, not by a remote run:
checkCodexModelPosture and POSTURE_REASON are absent from the compiled
lib today, so every row fails on the missing export. A remote checkpoint
here would prove only that the function is missing, which is already
known — so the run is deliberately deferred to the combined green
checkpoint rather than spent proving a tautology.

That makes the NEGATIVE PROOFS the rows that carry real signal. Every
positive row passes even for a naive implementation that greps
/model\s*=/ over the whole file. Six rows fail it: light-tier
service_tier/model_verbosity decoupling (#774), hand-added keys, a
commented pin, the model_verbosity key-prefix collision, the runtime
no-op ordering, and the headline case — a literal `model = "sonnet"`
inside the developer_instructions ''' block, which the emitter fills
with agent prompts that discuss models constantly.

Row 14's fixture was verified to discriminate before being written: a
whole-file scan matches it and a header-slice scan does not. Without
that check the test would pass trivially and prove nothing, which is the
vacuous-test failure this epic has already hit repeatedly.

Adversarial TOML fixtures are hand-authored against the real Codex shape
rather than generated by generateCodexAgentToml, per #2371 — a fixture
from the writer can only confirm what the writer already believed.

* feat(#3242): validate codex .toml model posture, not just presence

Implements ADR-2313 D6. checkCodexModelPosture is a new sibling export,
not a branch inside checkAgentsInstalled — that function carries 33
upstream dependents, cyclomatic 25, and sits in two traced process
flows, so it is deliberately left untouched.

It imports isAnthropicFlavoredModel from model-catalog, a genuine leaf.
That is what Phase 1's constant move bought: agent-install-check is
documented as pure read/verify and imports only leaves, so reaching the
rule through model-resolver would have dragged config-loader into it.

Reads liberally, judges strictly, and never guesses. Tolerates comments,
key order, whitespace, CRLF, and a BOM; anchors on full key names so
model_verbosity does not satisfy a `model` probe; treats extra
hand-added keys as none of its business, since the check is a predicate
on the two fields the posture owns rather than a whitelist over the
document. An unreadable file becomes a named violation and the loop
keeps going.

The scan covers only the header slice — the lines before the
developer_instructions ''' marker. The emitter writes agent prompts into
that block and GSD's prompts discuss models constantly, so a whole-file
scan reports violations for prose. This is the highest-risk defect in
the phase and the reason its fixture was verified to discriminate before
being written.

The non-codex short-circuit runs before any filesystem call, so a stray
.toml under another runtime is never inspected.

Wired through cmdValidateAgents as an additive codex_posture key, so a
violating install is visible from a command a user actually runs rather
than only from a library nothing calls.

Also fixes a test defect found while implementing: .gitattributes forces
`* text=auto eol=lf` repo-wide, so the committed CRLF fixture was
normalized to LF in the index — `git ls-files --eol` reported `i/lf
w/crlf`, the working copy being stale pre-normalization bytes. The CRLF
row was asserting against a file that could not survive a fresh clone.
CRLF is now derived at runtime, which puts it under the test's control
rather than git's, instead of adding a .gitattributes exception that
fights a deliberate repo-wide policy and that anyone could re-normalize.

* docs(#3242): document the codex posture check where a user will look

Three quadrants, filed by where the reader actually arrives.

How-to (recover-and-troubleshoot.md, under Install and update problems)
is titled by the SYMPTOM — "If Codex agents fail to spawn with a 400
about an unsupported model" — and opens with the verbatim error string.
Someone hitting this does not know the words "posture" or "ADR-2313";
they have a 400 in their terminal and will search for that.

Reference (COMMANDS.md) had no `validate agents` entry at all, though
sibling gsd-tools subcommands are documented. Adding user-visible output
to an undocumented command and then linking to it from the new how-to
would have left a dangling reference. The entry carries the
violation-reason table, since the frozen POSTURE_REASON enum is the
machine-readable contract a reader needs rather than the prose.

Both surfaces state that presence and posture are separate verdicts — a
missing agent lands in `missing`, never as a posture violation. That is
a deliberate design decision and would otherwise be invisible to someone
watching one command emit both.

Explanation stays in ADR-2313, which already covers D6 and the
liberal-parse/strict-judge boundary. Pointing at it beats duplicating it
into COMMANDS.md and creating two copies to drift.

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

* fix(#3242): close two false negatives in the posture scan

Both found by an isolated reviewer and reproduced before fixing. Both
made the check report clean when it was not — the worst direction for
this function, since the how-to tells users an empty violations list
means the install is posture-clean.

A quoted TOML key was never matched. `"model" = "sonnet"` is legal TOML,
but the key pattern required a bare identifier, so the pin was silently
invisible. Bare, "double" and 'single' quoted forms now normalize to the
same key name.

The block marker was found by unanchored whole-content search and used
to truncate the header. A `description` value merely containing the
literal text `developer_instructions = '''` truncated the scan before a
real pin, and a user who hand-reordered `model` to sit after the block —
still legal TOML — was never scanned at all.

Fixed by changing the strategy rather than the regex: find the block's
range, anchored at line start, and scan every line OUTSIDE it. That
covers both failures and is strictly more correct than truncation, while
still never reading prompt prose. An unterminated block excludes the
rest of the file, which fails toward a false positive — the safe
direction, since misreading prose as a pin wastes a user's time while
the alternative hides a real one.

Also corrects two overclaims of mine. The how-to named "v1.11", a
version that does not exist — package.json is 1.10.0 and unreleased — so
it now describes the boundary by behavior and links the ADR. And the
test matrix asserted that a naive whole-file scan "fails exactly rows
12,13,14,15,16,25"; the reviewer computed that rows 12, 13, 15 and 16
produce the correct result against that baseline too. They guard real
but *different* mistakes, and the matrix now says which one each catches
instead of attributing them all to the header-slice defect.

* fix(#3242): skip symlinked agent files instead of following them

Security review finding. The scan listed entries with readdirSync and
read them with readFileSync, which follows symlinks — so a symlink in
the agents directory pointing anywhere would have its contents read, and
any line matching the model pattern echoed into cmdValidateAgents'
output through the `value` field. A read-and-echo primitive on an
arbitrary path.

It needs write access to the agents directory, so it crosses no new
trust boundary today. Fixed anyway, for two reasons.

This repo already does it correctly next door: cmdEffortSync filters
with lstatSync().isFile() and the comment "Skip symlinks — only write
regular files to avoid clobbering symlink targets." Being inconsistent
with a sibling in the same subsystem IS the defect.

And Phase 3 (#3243) extends that same cmdEffortSync to WRITE these
files. Establishing symlink-following as the house pattern for Codex
.toml handling here would hand Phase 3 a worse starting point while it
writes rather than reads.

Skipped silently rather than reported, matching the sibling: a symlinked
agent file is a structural install choice, which checkAgentsInstalled
owns, not a model-content posture defect. An lstat that itself throws
excludes the file rather than crashing the scan.

That does narrow the guarantee slightly, so the how-to now says an empty
list means every REGULAR .toml is clean, and tells anyone symlinking
their configs to check the targets by hand. Claiming a clean bill of
health over files the check declined to open would be the same kind of
false confidence the two false negatives above produced.

86bebcefa2 refactor(#3216): bind milestone identity to the canonical locator (#3226)
* refactor(#3216): widen milestone-window guard to literal-## matchers

The guard keyed only on the `#{N,M}` quantifier plus a literal version or
phase-lookahead token. getMilestoneInfo hand-rolls its milestone-heading match
with a literal `^##`/`## ` and an interpolated ${escapedVer}, so it satisfied
neither token and the guard reported a clean zero on a file carrying live
re-derivations (#3171, #3197) — a zero it did not earn.

Widen token (a) to a literal 2-6 `#` run, admitted ONLY inside a heading-MATCHER
literal (a regex literal, or a string/template handed to new RegExp) so a
heading-BUILDING template is not mistaken for a re-derivation. Widen token (b)
with the grouped `v(\d+(?:\.\d+)+)` shape and an interpolated version
placeholder.

Ships BEFORE the consolidation per ADR-3180 s7.2: a guard widened afterwards
measures an already-cleaned surface. It is expected to be RED until the
consolidation lands.

design's behavior table plus its negative space; milestone-window-drift-guard
covers the widened tokens and proves the exemption is function-scoped, not
file-scoped.

Copy count is 3 found by the guard, not 1 per the epic (ADR-3180 Amendment 3's
standing rule, holding for the fourth consecutive phase): both getMilestoneInfo
sites plus cmdRoadmapAnalyze's milestone enumeration at roadmap.cts:454, which
carries the same #3171 truncation and #3197 phase-heading confusion.

Expected RED until the consolidation lands.

* refactor(#3216): bind milestone identity to the canonical locator

getMilestoneInfo hand-rolled two milestone-heading regexes inside the owner's
own file. Both were wrong, differently: the STATE-version site's ^## anchor is
level-blind so [^\n]* absorbs a third #, and the fallback site had no anchor at
all, so '## ' matched from the second # of '###'. Against
'### Phase 7: Close v3.3 gaps' the fallback returned {v3.3, gaps} (#3197). Both
captured names with [^\n(], truncating at a parenthetical (#3171).

Bind both to the canonical grammar. locateMilestoneHeadings becomes a
version-filtered view over one shared source, and a new version-agnostic
listMilestoneHeadings enumerates milestone headings for callers that need all
of them. getMilestoneInfo returns ScopedResult<MilestoneInfo|null>; the
{v1.0,'milestone'} default, which was output-identical to a real v1.0 project,
is deleted. The #2245 never-throws invariant is preserved.

Copy count: 3 found by the guard, not 1 per the epic. The third was
cmdRoadmapAnalyze's own milestone enumeration (roadmap.cts:454), carrying both
defects in the implementation the epic blessed.

buildStateFrontmatter and archivePhaseDirectories branch on scope: the first
writes null rather than a fabricated identity, the second falls through to its
dated-label fallback. A fabricated v3.3 passes ARCHIVE_VERSION_LABEL_RE, so it
would otherwise misfile phase history.

Also fixes an unsafe cast in init.cts that masked these type errors across five
call sites, which would have shipped undefined milestone fields under green tsc.

* fix(#3216): restore the #1761 unbounded guard and bullet precedence

Review and the first full-matrix run surfaced five real defects in the
consolidation, all fixed here rather than by relaxing the tests that caught
them:

- buildStateFrontmatter gated its isMilestoneBoundedInRoadmap check on the
  scope-gated milestone value, which is null on any non-COMPLETE scope, so the
  #1761 unbounded guard was silently skipped and state json reported a percent
  it must omit. It now gates on the STATE-asserted version, independent of
  identity scope.
- The rewrite lost #2135's precedence: the name-bearing progress-marker bullet
  is consulted before the heading again.
- A single-segment version (v3, no dot) did not resolve; the name-extraction
  fallback now accepts it.
- A version carrying regex metacharacters, or a $& / $1 replacement pattern,
  is matched literally.
- listMilestoneHeadings' heading field trimmed, so a CRLF roadmap no longer
  leaks a trailing carriage return into roadmap analyze's output.

Also emits milestone_version / milestone_name / current_milestone as explicit
null rather than omitting the key, so the prompt layer cannot render a bare
placeholder, and corrects an init.cts comment plus a cast left inconsistent.

* test(#3216): update milestone-identity expectations to the scoped contract

getMilestoneInfo returns ScopedResult<MilestoneInfo|null> and the
{v1.0,'milestone'} default is deleted, so the suites asserting the old shape
assert removed behavior. Updated rather than weakened: every touched call site
now asserts the scope explicitly against the frozen SCOPE enum.

roadmap-parser.test.cjs: 20 expectations moved to {value,scope}. The #1881
unreadable-vs-absent diagnostic assertions are untouched and still prove their
original point — only the return shape moved. One pre-existing assert.ok(info)
is now a specific UNSCOPED assertion, so that case is stronger than before.

new-milestone-clear-phases.test.cjs: the test asserting phases clear archives
under the v1.0 default now asserts the dated archived-<YYYYMMDD> fallback,
which is the deliberate consequence of deleting that default.

Two of this branch's own tests were also corrected after they drove the
implementation the wrong way: the parity test compared raw heading text and so
pushed a stray ## prefix into roadmap analyze's public output, and the hostile
metacharacter row demanded a pathological version resolve, which pushed a
widening of the ADR-locked \b boundary. Both now assert what the contract
actually requires.

* docs(#3216): document milestone identity and correct the CONTEXT.md entry

ADR-3180 s7.2 moves to Enforced and gains two rules that were unstated: the
name derives from the heading's own version token and drops a trailing status
marker, and a free-form legacy ROADMAP with no version anywhere is UNSCOPED
with no identity rather than a defaulted v1.0 (decided by the maintainer before
implementation, per s7's own rule that an unstated behavior is not decided).
Amendment 4 records Phase 6's validation, including that the copy count was a
lower bound for the fourth consecutive phase.

CONTEXT.md's Roadmap Parser entry described locateMilestoneHeadings as
boundary-matched with (?![\w.-]) — the alternative Amendment 2 tried and
REVERTED. The code uses \b and says so, and the ADR agrees; the revert updated
code and ADR and missed CONTEXT.md, which is the epic's own fixed-on-one-copy
failure class in the docs layer, on a file that is itself a PR gate.

* fix(#3216): persist the real version on a truncated identity

buildStateFrontmatter wrote null for BOTH milestone and milestone_name on any
non-COMPLETE scope, discarding a real version. ADR-3180 s7.2 rule 6: a version
known with no resolvable name is TRUNCATED carrying {version, name: null} —
'the version is a real answer, the name is a non-answer, and collapsing the two
is the failure this contract exists to prevent.'

The two fields are now gated by what is actually known: the version whenever one
exists (COMPLETE or TRUNCATED), the name only on COMPLETE. Never fabricated.

Caught by this phase's own Decision 4(c) consumer-output test, which is the
argument for asserting at the consumer rather than the owner — the owner was
correct throughout; only the consumer collapsed its answer.

* refactor(#3216): extract helpers and make cmdCommit's scope gate explicit

From the two-axis code review:

- init.cts repeated the identical getMilestoneInfo cast at five sites with
  copy-pasted comments — duplication inside a PR whose thesis is that duplicates
  get deleted. Extracted milestoneRecord(cwd); the one site-specific comment is
  kept, the four generic copies removed.
- getMilestoneInfo hand-built its { value, scope } literal at ten return points;
  a local scoped() constructor now does it once. Every per-branch rationale
  comment is preserved and no returned value or scope changed.
- cmdCommit gated the milestone branch name on plain truthiness, which is also
  true for TRUNCATED, so an unresolved identity drove branch creation
  incidentally rather than deliberately. It now gates on the SCOPE enum,
  accepting COMPLETE or TRUNCATED because both carry a real version, and the
  comment records why that differs from archivePhaseDirectories — which demands
  COMPLETE because it uses the value as a filesystem path component.

* test(#3216): cover the bare-version-in-prose truncated path

The spec review found the bareVersionMatch path — no STATE version, no
milestone heading, a version token only in prose — returning TRUNCATED with no
test exercising that exact shape, violating Decision 4's boundary-coverage
requirement.

* docs(#3216): record the missed Tier-2 surfaces and rule 5's corollary

Decision 3 requires an explicit call-out for EVERY Tier-2 change, and Amendment
4's first draft named eight surfaces while the change touched thirteen. Adds
cmdCommit's branch-name construction and the four init JSON bundles, an
incomplete list being the same defect in miniature that this epic removes.

s7.2 rule 5 gains a corollary separating two cases the original wording ran
together: no version token ANYWHERE is UNSCOPED, while a bare version token in
prose or a non-milestone heading is weak but real evidence and yields TRUNCATED
under rule 6.

343835facc refactor(#3183): route live-plan counting through scanPhasePlans (#3199)
* refactor(#3183): route live-plan counting through scanPhasePlans

scanPhasePlans becomes the sole owner of the live-plan derivation. Twenty-one
independent re-derivations across seven modules now route through it, and
scripts/lint-plan-count-drift.cjs reports zero, scanning the whole repo rather
than an allowlist (ADR-3180 Decision 4a).

The epic scoped this at three copies. A whole-repo guard found twenty-six sites
across nine files, so Phase 1 absorbs every live-plan re-derivation and Phase 3
narrows to window plus sentinel enumeration.

Two sites are exempt with a documented reason rather than a bare allowlist:
audit.cts scans one quick task's own directory for a single completion record,
and gsd2-import.cts reads a foreign GSD-2 tasks/ layout during a one-time
import. Neither is a phase directory.

scanPhasePlans gains allPlanFiles (pre-supersession) alongside planFiles so one
owner answers both questions: verify.cts's numbering-gap check wants every plan
on disk, its pairing check wants the live set. Both fields are additive.

Highest-severity fix: cmdPhasePlanIndex, which feeds execute-phase wave
scheduling, was scheduling status:superseded plans into waves and reporting zero
plans for the post-#3139 nested layout.

filterPlanFiles and filterSummaryFiles are deleted; getPhaseFileStats orphaned
them and only their own tests still called them.

New leaf module src/planning-scope.cts carries the frozen SCOPE discriminator,
with its six-gate ripple closed: gitignore, inventory manifest, INVENTORY.md and
the CONTEXT.md glossary.

* docs(#3183): amend ADR-3180 for the Phase 1/3 boundary re-slice

The contract held; the phase boundary did not. The whole-repo drift guard found
26 re-derivations across 9 files against the epic's estimate of 3, and
cmdProgressRender re-derives both enumeration and plan counting on adjacent
lines, so DW4 was unsatisfiable within Phase 1's original file scope.

Records the amended scope, scanPhasePlans's new allPlanFiles field,
findOrphanSummaries, the two documented exemptions, the re-derived Tier-2
table, and the describeNonCanonicalPlans trap for later phases.

* fix(#3183): complete the canonical pairing rule and gate the naming diagnostic

The remote runner went red with 13 deterministic failures on both lanes,
and they were right: replacing verify.cts's canonicalPlanStem pairing with
summaryCandidates dropped a case the bespoke rule covered. A plan carrying a
descriptive slug after its id (68-01-scaffolding-PLAN.md) pairs with its
canonical-stem summary (68-01-SUMMARY.md), and summaryCandidates generated no
such candidate, so the plan read unsummarized.

The fix is to complete the one rule rather than restore a second:
summaryCandidates gains a canonical-id candidate, narrowed to fire only when an
id pair was actually extracted. countMatchedSummaries, findUnsummarizedPlans
and findOrphanSummaries all inherit it. The two-plans-one-summary collision
behaviour of the original rule is preserved deliberately and documented in
place.

Second defect, independently root-caused while verifying: routing the #2893
naming diagnostic through scanPhasePlans exposed it to the loose /PLAN/i
fallback, which is correct for counting and wrong for a naming check — a
non-canonically-named file was accepted as a valid plan and the diagnostic
went silent. cmdPhasesList, cmdFindPhase and cmdPhasePlanIndex now intersect
with a strict isCanonicalPlanFile predicate before reporting names.

Same class as the describeNonCanonicalPlans trap already recorded in ADR-3180:
a question about file naming wants the physical, strictly-matched set; only a
question about outstanding work wants the live set.

* chore(#3183): register planning-scope.cjs in the eslint migration list

tests/repo-invariants.test.cjs asserts every bin/lib/*.cjs is linted xor
ignored per its ADR-457 migration state. The new planning-scope module closed
five of the six .cts ripple gates - gitignore, inventory manifest, INVENTORY.md
and the CONTEXT.md glossary - but not eslint, because that one is enforced by a
test rather than by lint:ci, so the local pipeline stayed green while it was
missing.

* fix(#3183): replace the plan-count drift detector with a literal tokenizer

CodeQL reported 4 high-severity js/redos alerts on REGEX_LITERAL_MD_RE, the
backtracking regex that finds "a regex literal mentioning PLAN/SUMMARY and an
escaped \.md". Five review rounds found it had two defects, not one:

  - EXPONENTIAL, then CUBIC. Its "any char" atom `(?:\\.|[^/\r\n])` let a `\.`
    pair be consumed either as one escape or as two class characters, which is
    exponential backtracking: 27,464ms on `"/\.mdplan" + "\.".repeat(28) + "X"`.
    Excluding `\` from the class killed that but left a cubic path — 23ms at
    N=200, 172ms at N=400, 1362ms at N=800 on `"/" + "PLAN\.md".repeat(N)` with
    no closing `/`. This guard is the last stage of `npm run lint:ci`, which CI
    runs on fork pull requests, so a crafted src/*.cts could stall the job.
  - A DETECTION HOLE. A character class holding a bare, unescaped `/` — e.g.
    `/SUMMARY[^/]*\.md$/`, an ordinary path-excluding filter — terminated the
    literal at that `/`, so the scan never reached `\.md` and the guard missed
    it entirely. (Classes holding an ESCAPED `\/` were already matched; the
    tests cover those separately as parity, not as regressions.)

Both defects have one root cause: regex-literal grammar — `\x` escapes, and
`/` inside `[...]` not terminating — is not expressible in a backtracking
regex. So the detector is now a tokenizer, not a regex.

readRegexLiteralAt reads the literal at a given `/` in a single left-to-right
pass with no backtracking, treating escapes as two-character units and
suppressing the `/` terminator inside a character class. findRegexLiteralMdMatch
restarts it at every `/` on the line, preserving the old "find anywhere"
behaviour; MAX_REGEX_LITERAL_LEN (400) bounds each read — including the
trailing-flag scan — which keeps the whole-line cost linear.

Results: cubic shape flat at 0.06-0.39ms out to N=3200 (25KB), exponential
shape 0.01ms at 28 reps and 0.00ms at 64, and the bare-`/` class shapes are now
caught. Differential against the old regex over 28,474 lines (those matching
FILENAME_TEST_RE but not PLAN_SUMMARY_LITERAL_RE, across src/tests/scripts/
gsd-core/bin/eslint-rules, excluding 265 lines with >6 backslashes on which the
old regex hangs): 6 differences, all the tokenizer returning the fuller or
newly-correct literal, 0 old-only misses. The `\.md` token stays
case-insensitive, matching the `/i` the old regex carried.

Also closes three holes in the same new file:

  - walk() tested entry.isFile(), false for a symlink, so a symlinked
    src/*.cts was silently unscanned — an evasion of a guard whose stated
    principle (ADR-3180 Decision 4a) is whole-repo discovery with no allowlist.
    It now resolves symlinks, but confined: file links must resolve inside the
    repo root, directory links inside the scanned dir itself. Every sibling
    drift guard in scripts/ uses the Dirent classification and never follows
    links, so following them unconfined would have made this the only linter
    able to read outside the tree — on fork PRs an arbitrary out-of-repo read
    whose matched fragments reach a public CI log. The narrower directory rule
    additionally stops `src/up -> ..` from sweeping the whole repo, and the
    skip list is now checked against resolved paths so `src/g -> ../.git`
    cannot reach .git/** or node_modules/**. Real paths are de-duplicated and
    files reported canonically, so a symlink alias cannot shift which
    FUNCTION_SCOPED_EXEMPTIONS key applies.
  - Both the reported fragment and the reported FILE PATH are attacker-
    controlled source text written straight to a CI log, and git permits
    control bytes in a filename. Both are now escaped — C0/C1/DEL plus the
    bidi and zero-width controls — so a crafted literal or filename cannot
    recolour the log, overwrite a line with CR, or fabricate a line that looks
    like this guard's own success output.

Regression coverage in tests/plan-count-single-owner.test.cjs: a child-process
probe over both pathological shapes (catastrophic backtracking is synchronous
and would freeze the suite rather than fail one test), the bare-`/` class
shapes verified to fail against the parent-commit blob, root-confinement tests
covering the outside-file, outside-directory, cycle, broken-link and duplicate
cases, direct isInsideRoot coverage including the sibling-prefix case that a
bare startsWith would let through, sanitizeForReport coverage, and
limit-1/limit/limit+1 coverage of MAX_REGEX_LITERAL_LEN derived from the
exported constant. The earlier structural assertion was dropped — it checked
for the substring `[^/`, which respelling the class as `[^\r\n/]` defeats
while staying exponential.

53ea8e0664 fix(#3057): make a guard's failure distinguishable from its benign result — Wave 1 (#3088)
* fix(#3057): refuse the write when the duplicate scan cannot complete

writeManifest documents itself as a fail-closed duplicate guard: if any
existing manifest shares plan_id with a different, non-terminal job_id it must
refuse, because dispatching again would duplicate the external job.

It could not honour that. The scan reads every sibling manifest looking for the
duplicate, and an unreadable or unparseable sibling was `continue`d past. If
the corrupt file was the one holding the live duplicate, the scan found nothing
and a duplicate external job dispatched.

The asymmetry is what gives it away: a malformed TARGET refused with
malformed_existing because clobbering is unacceptable, while a malformed
SIBLING was skipped — yet siblings are the only thing the duplicate check
reads.

Adds a scan_incomplete verdict that refuses and names the offending file, so an
operator can quarantine or repair it. Fail-closed alone would let one stale
corrupt manifest wedge every dispatch for that planning dir permanently; naming
the file is what makes refusing survivable. malformed_existing is untouched, so
the target/sibling distinction stays visible. The docstring is updated — it
previously stated a rule the function did not keep.

memFs() gains an optional failReads map so these branches are reachable at all;
they had zero coverage because the fake could not express a per-file read
fault. The signature is additive and every existing caller is unchanged.

The regression is proved by a pair, not a single test. A control writes a
readable sibling holding a genuine non-terminal duplicate and asserts
duplicate_plan_id, establishing the scenario is real; the regression then makes
that same path unreadable and asserts scan_incomplete. A first draft of this
test used a corrupt-JSON fixture containing no plan_id at all while its comment
claimed otherwise — it duplicated the unparseable-sibling case and proved
nothing, which is the defect class this phase exists to remove.

* fix(#3057): make a guard's failure distinguishable from its benign result

Wave 1 of the negative-space backfill: the branches where a guard that could
not verify something reported the same value it reports when everything is
fine. That indistinguishability is the defect; every fix here makes the two
states tellable apart, and every test proves it with a pair — one for the
failure, one for the benign case. A single test cannot establish that two
states are distinguishable, which is the whole property being fixed.

state.cts phaseInventoryProvider returned null for both a real disk-scan
failure and a genuinely empty phases dir, so `state rebuild` could report
success while phase-table reconciliation never ran. It now returns a
discriminated result and the CLI surfaces phase_inventory_scan_failed plus a
reason. The reason field turned out never to have been wired into the emitted
JSON at all — it existed only as an internal variable — so a test could only
assert on the operator-facing note. It is a real field now.

state.cts treated an unreadable lock body the same as an empty one, applying
the 1-second stealable floor. A lock we cannot read is not a lock we know is
stale; an unreadable body is now held to the deadman ceiling like a live
holder.

verification.cts findStaleVerificationSummary returned null on any fs, scan or
clock failure — meaning "not stale". It now returns a discriminated
StaleCheckResult and the caller records that the check was indeterminate.

git-base-branch resolveBaseBranch returned 'main' both when no candidate branch
existed and when every git tier timed out. A diagnostics variant now reports
whether the answer was verified, and the CLI writes an unverified-fallback note
to stderr. The stdout contract five workflows parse is untouched.

worktree-safety snapshotWorktreeInventory left exists:true when statSync threw,
so a guard that could not check reported the worktree present; exists is now
tri-state and a stat failure surfaces as an 'unverified' finding.
planWorktreePrune reported 'no_worktrees' for a parse failure, which is not the
same as an empty list — and it drives a prune. It now reports 'parse_failed'.

Fixing the inventory change exposed a second fail-open in verify.cts: the
validate-health consumer silently dropped findings whose kind it did not
recognise, so the new kind would have vanished. That is closed too — worth
noting that the survey enumerated producers of degraded verdicts, not consumers
that discard them.

worktree-base-ref and state-transition gain the distinguishing signal without
changing what they do: headAbsenceVerified, and a phase-inventory scan meta.
Whether those guards should ACT differently is a product question this change
does not answer, and both are flagged rather than quietly settled.

rescueSummaryArtifacts is left alone: rescuing on an uncertain cat-file is
deliberate per #2556. It now has tests proving it, and a recorded negative
finding — git cat-file -e returns 128 for both "absent from HEAD" and a fatal
error, so "uncertain" and "certain-and-fine" are not separable at the git
level.

* test(#3057): assert typed values, not rendered text

Ten assertions in the rebuild CLI suite matched substrings of produced output —
STATE.md body fields, a markdown table row, an audit-log heading, and JSON keys
read as text. CONTRIBUTING prohibits that: if the code under test produces
text, the test asserts on its structured surface instead.

No production surface had to be built. Every one already existed and was
already compiled into bin/lib: stateExtractField for body fields,
parseMarkdownTable for the phase table, collectSection for the audit-log
section, and result.data.log — already a typed RebuildLogEntry[]. The tests
were matching rendered text sitting next to the structured data.

One of those assertions was passing for the wrong reason. `stdout.includes
('rebuilt')` matched the JSON KEY name, not a value: the dry-run path emits
`mutated` and the real path emits `rebuilt`, so it would have passed whether
the value was true or false. It now asserts the value.

external-job's refusal already had to name the offending file — that naming is
why the fail-closed variant is survivable rather than a permanent wedge — but
the tests proved it by substring of a prose message. The failure result now
carries offendingPath as its own field and the tests assert it by value. The
human message is unchanged; operators read it.

Array membership is left alone. `phaseIds.includes('99')` and
`result.updated.includes('Completed Phases')` are membership checks on real
arrays, not text matching, and converting them would weaken nothing and clarify
nothing.

* test(#3057): execute acquireStateLock instead of grepping its source

The non-EEXIST lock test asserted on the TEXT of the built .cjs and never
called acquireStateLock. It carried an allow-test-rule: architectural-invariant
exemption to permit that. A source grep proves a literal is present in a file,
not that the behaviour works — it is weaker than a liveness test, which at
least runs the code, and it was the only coverage the fatal-errno path had.

Replaced with tests that inject the errno through fs and assert what actually
happens: a fatal EACCES propagates out of acquireStateLock with zero backoff
sleeps, while EAGAIN/EINTR/EINVAL/EIO/ENOENT/ESTALE/EPERM/EBUSY retry once and
succeed. The exemption is removed and its allowlist entry with it.

One old assertion is deliberately not carried over: it checked the retryable
errnos were expressed as a Set rather than an inline literal. That is a shape
check with no runtime signature; the behavioural tests fail if the code reverts
to the old inline check, which is the regression it was really guarding.

The #3057 lock-body tests move into that same file rather than a new one, which
is what lint-test-file-count asks for and puts every acquireStateLock test in
one place.

* fix(#3057): surface an indeterminate staleness check to its callers

An isolated review caught an inconsistency inside this wave. Two of the three
"add the distinguishing signal" fixes wire through to something a user sees:
git base-branch writes an unverified-fallback diagnostic to stderr, and an
unverifiable worktree surfaces as a W020 finding. The third set
staleCheckIndeterminate on readVerificationStatus's result and nothing read it.

A signal nobody consumes leaves the fail-open exactly as silent as before: the
staleness check could fail and the operator saw precisely what they would see
if the answer were genuinely "not stale". That is the defect this issue exists
to remove, so it is not defensible as scaffolding when its two siblings in the
same change already wire through.

All five callers now surface it, each through the channel it already had rather
than a mechanism imposed uniformly: phase complete adds it to its existing
warnings array and, on the blocked path, as an additive note on the error text;
init and roadmap carry it as a field on output they already emit; the UAT
report carries it without ever gating passed/blockers; workstream inventory
takes an injectable writeDiagnostic mirroring the git base-branch idiom,
because its return shape had nowhere to hang a per-phase field without
rippling the builder's types.

The routing decision is unchanged everywhere. What changes is only that a
caller and an operator can now tell a failed check from a completed one.

That diagnostic carries structured meta rather than being asserted by regex —
the default still writes only the human message to stderr, but tests assert
phaseDir and reason by value. Two earlier assertions in this branch were
converted the same way; this was the last raw-text assertion left.

Also records a scope correction: the completePhaseCore guards now compare
stateReplaceField's result to the body instead of testing truthiness, so a
field whose substitution produced identical text no longer reports as updated.
That is a real behaviour fix, not the signal-only change this file was
described as carrying, and its tests cover both the changed and unchanged
cases.

* test(#3057): bound two heavy subprocesses for a loaded bench, not an idle one

The remote matrix surfaced three failures unrelated to this branch's changes.
All were bad tests, and a re-run would have hidden every one of them.

The reviewer-flags parse block bounded bash -> node -> a full gsd-tools cold
start at 5 seconds. On a bench running thirty thousand tests in parallel that
is not a hang, it is a busy machine. Raised to 30s, matching the convention
sibling suites already use for script invocations, with a comment saying what
the budget covers so nobody tightens it back. Two further copies of the same
5-second spawn in the same file had the identical defect and are raised too —
they were not in the failure report, but they will be next time.

The fragment-propagation test bounded npm run regen:derived — a full build plus
eight generators, the heaviest subprocess in the suite — at five minutes, and
node22 was killed near the end. The captured output proves it: every generator
had written its files and gen:install-tree had emitted all fifteen runtimes
before the kill. Raised to fifteen minutes.

That failure read as `null !== 0`, which says nothing. status null means killed,
not a non-zero exit, and the two want different responses: one is a timeout to
size correctly, the other is a real build break. The assertion now distinguishes
them and names the signal.

Neither test's assertions were weakened and no retry was added. A retry here
would suppress exactly the signal the timeout exists to produce.

* test(#3057): capture fd 1 through the mock tracker, not a raw reassignment

The phase suite reported zero test results on both lanes while running for five
and a half minutes and exiting 1. No assertion text, no stderr, four events for
the whole file: enqueue, start, dequeue, complete. That shape is not a failing
assertion — it is the runner being unable to read the child at all, because it
parses its event stream from the child's stdout.

The cause was the capture helper reassigning fs.writeSync directly. Proven
rather than assumed: a standalone probe patched fs.writeSync and called
process.stdout.write, and the interception fired only when fd 1 resolved to a
FILE, not when it was a pipe. The remote runner captures the event stream to a
file, so a helper that was invisible against a pipe swallowed the reporter's own
output on the bench. That is also why the two sibling suites wired the same way
in this change pass cleanly — they use the mock tracker, the seam io.test.cjs
established for this exact function.

The helper now uses t.mock.method with an explicit restore after each call, so
teardown belongs to node:test rather than a second hand-rolled implementation,
and the interception cannot outlive the one synchronous call it wraps even if
that call throws. Ten call sites thread the test context through; three test
callbacks gained the parameter they lacked.

The three B3 tests are untouched — same assertions, same fault injection. Only
how the context reaches the helper changed.

* test(#3057): capture phase-complete output from a subprocess, not fd 1

Two attempts to make in-process fd-1 interception safe both failed on the
bench. The suite reported zero test results on either lane while exiting 1 —
four events for the whole file — because the runner parses its event stream
from the child's stdout, and process.stdout.write routes through fs.writeSync
whenever fd 1 resolves to a file, which is how the runner captures. Patching
that seam anywhere in a file can therefore destroy the file's own reporting,
and tightening the window only moved the runtime from 326s to 125s without
recovering a single event.

So the interception is gone rather than tuned. The helper now spawns gsd-tools
as a real subprocess and reads stdout the way the OS already gives it to us,
which is what the rest of the suite does. It asserts the command succeeded
before parsing, so a genuine failure can no longer present as a JSON parse
error.

The two fault-injecting tests could not survive that move as written: a
subprocess cannot see a mock installed in the parent. Instead of reinstating
the interception they now produce the fault on disk — the summary artifact is
created as a dangling symlink, so the staleness check's real statSync throws
inside the child. That is a more honest fixture than a mock in any case, since
it is a condition a user's tree can actually be in. Skipped on Windows, matching
the existing symlink precedent in the write-guard suite.

Three further call sites turned out to depend on parent-process writeFileSync
mocks the subprocess could not see. Those call the CJS function directly, which
is what they always wanted — they never needed stdout at all.

* fix(#3057): one name for one signal, one encoding for one distinction

Standards review found four things this branch introduced, all of them
inconsistencies with itself rather than with the repo.

One upstream bit reached its consumers under three names —
verification_stale_check_indeterminate in two modules, the same value with
"stale" dropped in a third, and stderr only in the fourth. Standardised on the
long name wherever it is a field. The workstream inventory keeps its stderr
channel, since its return shape has nowhere to hang a per-phase field without
rippling the builder's types, but it now says the same word for the same thing.

worktree-safety encoded one three-way distinction two ways in a single file: a
named union for a finding's kind, and boolean|null for an inventory entry's
existence. The second is now a named union too.

Two assertions matched human prose because the blocked and non-blocked
completion paths carried no typed field for the signal. Both now assert typed
values. The first round of this fix added the field but left the regex beside
it, which is the banned pattern sitting next to its own replacement; the second
removed it and added an assertion on the reason enum so nothing was lost.

The remaining two were reasoned away before being fixed, and both reasons were
bad. "No typed surface exists" is the condition CONTRIBUTING says to fix by
adding one — it took three lines. "The file already does this dozens of times"
is not licence to add instance number thirty-one; a convention that violates a
documented rule is debt, not precedent.

Vocabulary differing across DIFFERENT modules is left alone: CONTEXT.md rejects
a single shared result envelope, so per-module shapes are precedented, and a
baseline smell does not outrank a documented standard.

A census of every line this branch adds to a test file now finds no regex or
substring assertion on produced prose: 87 strictEqual, 25 ok (all non-empty or
shape guards), 12 equal, 3 throws (all typed err.code predicates), 3
deepStrictEqual, 2 notStrictEqual.

42f4f184c0 fix(#2844): verify-summary ignores future/prose path mentions; resolves project root (#2910)
* fix(#2844): verify-summary binds file-claim extraction to a creation-claim context

verify-summary's Pattern 1 matched any backticked path-like token with no
context check, so a prose mention of a future deliverable (`shared/types.ts`
in a 'next phase will add…' sentence) was checked for existence and its absence
failed the verdict on a healthy phase. #2685 added shape filtering but no
context check.

- src/verify.cts: both extraction patterns now require a claim label on the line
  (Created/Modified/Added/Updated/Edited/key-files). A bare prose mention no
  longer matches; genuine labeled claims still do.
- gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs: remove 'verify-summary' from SKIP_ROOT_RESOLUTION
  so relative claim paths resolve against the project root, not the raw cwd
  (subdirectory invocation no longer manufactures missing files).

Regression tests: prose mention not treated as a claim; prose-only SUMMARY
passes; absent claimed file still fails.

d626dbc6e3 fix(#1883): distinguish a permission/IO error from genuine emptiness in dir scans (#2802)
* test(#1883): failing-first regression for findContextMdIn / listMilestoneArchiveDirs swallowing EACCES

Adds failing-first regression tests proving an unreadable dir is currently
swallowed as empty/null instead of surfacing the permission error. Covers
EACCES, EIO, the unchanged ENOENT empty path, the array fast-path, and both
CONTEXT.md forms. listMilestoneArchiveDirs is exercised in-process via a new
_listMilestoneArchiveDirs test seam (the validate command runs in a subprocess,
so an fs monkeypatch in the test process cannot reach it).

* fix(#1883): distinguish a permission/IO error from genuine emptiness in dir scans

findContextMdIn (src/planning-workspace.cts) and listMilestoneArchiveDirs
(src/verify.cts) catch-alled every readdirSync error into the empty marker
(null / []), conflating a genuine ENOENT ('nothing there') with an EACCES/EIO
failure ('can't read this'). An unreadable phase dir was silently reported as
'no CONTEXT.md' (discuss/plan gates wrongly skipped context) and an unreadable
milestones/ dir as 'no archives' (active-milestone resolution / archived-phase
filtering misbehaved).

Narrow each catch to ENOENT only — keep the long-standing null/[] contract for
genuine absence (Hyrum: empty path unchanged) and re-throw every other error so
it propagates to the caller's existing try/catch. All six findContextMdIn
callers either pass a pre-read string[] (no readdir) or sit inside a try block
that already handles readdir failures; the two listMilestoneArchiveDirs callers
live in the validate command path where errors reach the command error handler.

Exposes a _listMilestoneArchiveDirs test seam so the permission-error path can
be unit-tested in-process (the validate command runs in a subprocess, so an fs
monkeypatch in the test process cannot reach the private helper).

* fix(tests): delete stale emitted-drift ack for gsd-phase-researcher.md

Pre-existing base-branch defect, not part of #1883: commit 6932fb16d
(enhance(#1699): require read-and-cite provenance, #2768) landed the
gsd-phase-researcher.md growth onto next WITHOUT removing its now-obsolete
emitted-drift-ack.json entry. An ack explains a ripple in a PR diff; once the
change merges to next the ripple becomes part of the baseline, so the ack is
permanently stale for every subsequent PR — the emitted-attribution gate fails
on every branch off next with '1 stale acknowledgment(s) — the ripple they
explained is gone'.

The gate's own error message prescribes the fix: delete the stale entry, and
since gsd-phase-researcher.md was the only entry, delete the file (an empty ack
file signals nothing; its presence is the alarm). This unblocks the red base for
all in-flight PRs, not just this one. Folded inline per the bug-fixer directive
(one-line test-prescribed fix, does not bury the #1883 fix).

7e8f6a6d7d enhance(#2572): run the verify-summary artifact check against phase SUMMARYs (#2685)
* enhance(#2572): run the verify-summary artifact check against phase SUMMARYs (W025)

The artifact<->git check has existed since the beginning but was only ever
pointed at .planning/research/SUMMARY.md (new-project.md:1145,
new-milestone.md:425). Phase summaries -- the ones that actually claim
"I created these files" -- were never checked.

- extract verifySummaryCore from cmdVerifySummary: same checks, lifted out of
  the output() wrapper so callers consume {passed, checks, errors} directly
  instead of shelling out and re-parsing JSON; cmdVerifySummary is now a thin
  adapter over it
- validate.health gains advisory W025 per phase SUMMARY with missing files

Advisory only: appends to warnings[], never touches status escalation beyond
the channel's own warning semantics, the repair set, or readVerificationStatus.

Resolves both open questions from triage: (a) commits_exist is deliberately NOT
surfaced -- its hash pattern matches any hex-shaped token in prose, too loose to
show a user; (b) a phase carries N per-plan summaries plus a legacy bare
SUMMARY.md, so all of them are checked via the repo-wide filter.

* chore(#2572): add changeset fragment

* feat(#2572): move the SUMMARY artifact check to phase completion

Responds to the #2685 review. Three substantive changes.

Seam (Blocker 2). The check now runs in cmdPhaseComplete, the seam the
issue body cited (src/phase.cts:~1745), not validate.health. That channel
does exist: cmdPhaseComplete declares warnings[], populates it from the
UAT/VERIFICATION pre-scan, and emits it. The cycle objection raised
against the earlier deviation holds for state.cts only -- verify.cts has
no transitive import path to phase.cts, so phase.cts -> verify.cjs adds
no cycle (verified over every src/*.cts). Moving it also retires the
retroactive firing across all historical phases: this fires once, at
completion, for the phase being completed.

Extraction (Blocker 1). Pattern 2 now excludes [ and ] from its path
class. The SUMMARY templates prescribe a YAML flow sequence
(key-files.created: [a.ts, b.ts]) and the label matches case-insensitively,
so the class previously captured the literal [ and produced a candidate
that can never exist on disk -- firing on healthy projects built from the
templates GSD itself ships. Stripping frontmatter was the other offered
remedy; measured across all three shipped templates it is a no-op on top
of the exclusion, so it is not carried. Consequence named in-code: the
key-files block still is not read, which needs a real frontmatter parse.

Also narrowed to the noise classes confirmed in review -- globs, bare
hostnames, and paths resolving outside the project are skipped rather
than reported, and the containment guard the old comment claimed now
actually exists.

Budget (Majors 1 and 3). verifySummaryCore takes a checkCommits option;
phase completion passes false, so the discarded git cat-file probes are
not spawned at all. It also passes Infinity, so every referenced file is
reported instead of the first two -- a summary listing twelve files of
which nine are missing now says nine, not zero. The verb keeps its
historical 2-file default.

Tests (Major 2). The vacuous fixtures are gone with the health block.
The replacements use /-bearing paths that genuinely extract, and each
fix was mutation-checked: un-anchoring pattern 2, dropping the glob,
hostname or containment filter, forcing commit checking on, and
re-capping at 2 each fail at least one test.

* docs(#2572): describe the phase-completion SUMMARY artifact check

The W025 text under /gsd-health is withdrawn with the health seam; the
check is documented where it now runs, under `phase complete` in
docs/CLI-TOOLS.md.

Both the docs and the changeset previously overclaimed: they said a
referenced file not on disk is warned about, while at most two candidates
per SUMMARY were ever examined. The cap is gone at this seam, so the
claim now holds -- and the text states the limits that remain, rather
than leaving them to be discovered: the key-files frontmatter block is
not read, commit hashes are not resolved, and globs, URLs, bare
hostnames and out-of-project paths are skipped rather than reported.

9a76ca6783 fix(#1882): distinguish unterminated frontmatter from absent frontmatter (#2712)
* fix(#1882): distinguish unterminated frontmatter from absent frontmatter

extractFrontmatter returned {} both for a document with no frontmatter and for
one whose fence was opened and never closed, so a file truncated mid-write was
byte-identical to a legitimate no-metadata file. Verified live through
`gsd-tools frontmatter get`: both printed {} with exit 0 and nothing on stderr.

Per ADR-1411's "corrupt is not absent" amendment the {} return is preserved
exactly -- no caller may break -- and the cause is surfaced out-of-band as a
deduplicated, unconditional stderr diagnostic. That mechanism lands as a shared
leaf module rather than a per-site copy because three sibling findings in the
same epic need it identically; four hand-rolled copies of one behaviour is the
generative-fix-divergence defect class.

The discriminator is deliberately not "opened but never closed". A Markdown
document whose first line is a thematic break takes that exact branch, so
flagging on the missing fence alone reports corruption on good Markdown -- the
failure mode this class of check has shipped with before. The unterminated
region is instead run through extractFrontmatter's own parser (extracted as
parseYamlRegion so the probe and the real parse can never diverge) and reported
only when it yields at least one key.

Also folds an inline defect found while working: src/config-loader.cts carried
two NUL bytes in the JSDoc added by this epic's Phase 1 (3eb1cede2), making it
the only non-text file under src. file(1) reported it as data and text tools
silently skipped it, defeating the audit rule that says to search the authored
source; tsc passed because the bytes sat inside a comment, so no gate caught it.
It is live on next.

* test(#1882): pin unterminated-frontmatter detection and its negative space

Covers the discriminator on both sides. The positive rows are the issue's own
repro (LF and CRLF) plus the key-count boundary 0/1/2 around the ">= 1 parsed
key" threshold. The negative rows are the documents that reach the same branch
and must stay silent -- above all a Markdown thematic break at byte 0, which is
how this class of check has previously shipped a false positive on valid
Markdown.

Deduplication is tested on both halves of the composite key: a repeat of the
same (path, cause) is suppressed, a genuine second failure in a different file
is not, and a Windows and POSIX spelling of one path resolve to a single key.
The reset seam is asserted to actually clear -- #2674 is the precedent where a
reset that silently failed to clear made every later dedup assertion a vacuous
pass, and the cases only passed because each happened to pick an unused key, so
every case here uses a path unique to itself.

Assertions are on typed surfaces throughout -- the frozen reason enum and the
dedup-set size -- never on diagnostic prose. The one CLI-level case asserts a
differential between two runs (whether stderr is empty) rather than matching a
message, and is the wired user-reachable surface for this fix. Stream failure is
injected by overriding process.stderr.write and restoring it, never chmod 0o000,
which root bypasses.

Two properties guard the ~50 call sites of the changed function: the new
optional path argument is inert with respect to the parsed value, and LF/CRLF
spellings of a document still parse identically.

* fix(#1882): raise the truncation threshold and repair the dedup key

Isolated adversarial review found the one-key discriminator false-positives on
ordinary Markdown: a thematic break above a single labelled line -- `Note:`,
`Author:`, `TODO:`, `See:` -- parses as exactly one key and was reported as
corruption, which is the precise failure the design claimed to prevent and the
changeset promised was fixed. The threshold is now two keys. A file truncated
after exactly one key becomes a false negative; that is the same
precision-over-recall direction already taken at zero keys, and every GSD
artefact this guards carries two or more frontmatter keys.

Three dedup-key defects, each of which could silently swallow a real diagnostic:

- Backslash normalization is removed. A backslash is a legal filename character
  on Linux and macOS, so folding it to a forward slash made two genuinely
  different files share one key. Two spellings of one Windows path may now
  report twice; two distinct files can never silence each other. Lost signal is
  the worse failure.
- The key namespaces are tagged so a file literally named like the unnamed
  digest fallback can no longer collide with a path-less caller whose content
  hashes to that digest -- computable for any predictable content, no brute
  force needed.
- The source identity is computed once rather than hashed twice per emission.

Corrects the previous commit. The two NUL bytes in src/config-loader.cts were
NOT in a JSDoc comment as that message claimed; they were deliberate separators
in the live dedup key, and stripping them degraded it to bare concatenation.
They are restored as escape sequences -- byte-identical runtime string, and the
file is text again so grep can see it. The diagnostic script that misled me
indexed a character-offset string with a byte offset.

Also threads sourcePath through the STATE.md and PLAN.md readers so the two
artefacts epic #1879 is actually about name their file rather than reporting
under a content digest.

* test(#1882): correct fixtures and assertions left behind by the review fixes

The previous commit changed two behaviours deliberately and the suite still
encoded the old ones, so gsd-test came back red with six failures across both
lanes -- all of them mine.

Fixtures carrying a single frontmatter key no longer clear the two-key
truncation threshold, so the CLI differential and the two path-less dedup cases
were asserting a diagnostic that is now correctly withheld. They now carry two
keys, which is what a real interrupted write of a GSD artefact looks like.

The Windows/POSIX case asserted that two spellings of one path collapse to a
single key -- the exact folding that was removed because it also collapsed
genuinely distinct POSIX files whose names contain a backslash. Inverted to
assert they now report separately, with the reasoning recorded inline so the
trade is not silently reversed later: mild duplicate noise on one Windows path
is acceptable, a swallowed diagnostic is not.

Refs #1879

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

* fix(#1882): name the file at every read site, and report each file once

The diagnostic reached only the four frontmatter CLI verbs, so ~47 of 53 call
sites reported a truncated file under an anonymous content digest instead of
naming it. Since naming the file is the whole point -- it is what an operator
can act on -- that was a gap in the deliverable, not a scoping choice. 43 of 53
sites now pass the resolved path.

Closing it surfaced a defect the original design missed. A single truncated
STATE.md is parsed twice in a normal run: once by the read wrapper, which holds
the path, and again by a pure core downstream, which is handed only the string
and cannot know it. Those two parses keyed separately, so one file produced two
diagnostics -- and wiring more sites made the collision more likely, not less.
Every emission now registers both identities the input could be known by and
checks both before writing, so whichever caller arrives first speaks and the
other is suppressed. Distinct files with distinct content still report
separately, which is the property ADR-1411 actually requires; two files whose
truncated content is byte-identical collapse to one report, which stays the
documented limit.

Ten call sites deliberately keep no path. Two are frontmatter's own round-trip
checks during set and merge, where passing a path would report on every write.
The other eight are the state-transition pure cores, which ADR-1769 defines as
(content, intent, deps) -> newContent with injected I/O; threading a path
through them would contradict that recorded decision, so it is surfaced rather
than taken unilaterally. With the widened key they no longer double-report, and
in the normal flow the named parse runs first, so the file is still named.

Refs #1879

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

* fix(#1882): inject the STATE.md path into the transition cores

The six state-transition cores parsed STATE.md frontmatter without knowing
which file it came from, so a truncated STATE.md reached the operator as an
anonymous content digest on exactly the artefact epic #1879 is named for.

ADR-1769 section 3 shapes these as (content, intent, deps) -> newContent with
injected deps, and deps is the seam for precisely this: something the core
cannot derive without doing I/O. It already carries roadmapProvider and a
phase-inventory provider on that basis, each documented as injected rather than
imported so the core stays pure and testable without disk access. A resolved
path is data, not I/O, so an optional sourcePath member extends the established
pattern rather than contradicting it, and every existing stub keeps compiling
because the member is optional.

updateCore and reconcileCurrentPosition take no deps and are left alone. With
the widened dedup key they cannot double-report, and in the normal flow the read
wrapper has already named the file by the time they run.

Also regenerates gsd-core/bin/lib/state-transition.cjs. That artifact is tracked
rather than gitignored, unlike most of its siblings, so leaving it stale would
have shipped a runtime without this change to anyone reading the repo without
building. tsc had skipped the re-emit because its incremental build info still
recorded an emit that had since been reverted, so the stale output survived a
clean build; clearing tsconfig.build.tsbuildinfo forced it. The
compiled-artifact-sync gate is what surfaced the drift and now reports all nine
tracked artifacts matching their source.

Refs #1879

* fix(#1882): stop the widened dedup key from hiding a second file

The previous commit widened the dedup guard so one file parsed twice -- once by
a read wrapper holding the path, once by a pure core holding only the string --
reported once instead of twice. It did that by checking BOTH keys before
emitting, which silently traded one defect for a worse one: two DIFFERENT files
whose truncated content happened to be byte-identical now collided on the shared
content digest, and the second file's diagnostic was swallowed. That is the
over-coarse keying ADR-1411 explicitly forbids, reintroduced while fixing
something else.

The guard now checks only the key matching what the caller actually knows -- a
named read checks its path key, a path-less read checks its digest key -- while
still recording every key the input could later be identified by. The redundant
path-less re-parse of an already-named file stays silent, and two distinct files
always both report.

Verified across all six orderings: same file named-then-anonymous reports once;
two different files with identical content report twice; two different files
with different content report twice; the same path twice reports once; two
path-less parses of identical content report once; two path-less parses of
different content report twice.

The suite caught this -- twenty failures, all in the unusable-input tests that
reuse one truncated fixture across different paths. The local probe written
alongside the broken change did not, because it compared two files with
different content and could therefore only confirm the expected behaviour.

Refs #1879

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

* test(#1882): count diagnostics emitted, not identities interned

The suite measured the size of the dedup set as a stand-in for "how many
diagnostics were emitted". That held only while one emission recorded exactly
one key. Once an emission began recording every identity the input could later
be matched by -- a path key and a content key for the same file -- the set grew
by two per write and twenty assertions read 2 where they expected 1.

The production behaviour was correct throughout; the proxy was not. Set size
counts identities, which is an implementation detail of the guard. The
behavioural claim these tests exist to make is how many diagnostics an operator
actually saw, so the module now exposes that directly as an emission counter and
the suite asserts on it. The set-size accessor stays for assertions genuinely
about key shape.

The local probe written alongside the change did not catch this because it
counted process.stderr.write calls -- the right thing -- while the suite counted
set growth. Verification now asserts both and requires them to agree, so a
future divergence between the counter and real writes fails immediately rather
than being discovered a bench run later.

* test(#1882): retire two assertions that outlived the behaviour they described

Both tests encoded assumptions the dedup fix invalidated, and both were caught
by the suite rather than by the probe written alongside the change.

The forged-path case asserted that a file named like the anonymous digest
fallback must not suppress a later path-less report. That premise is gone: an
emission now records every identity its input could be matched by, so ANY named
report of some content silences the anonymous re-parse of that same content --
which is the same-file guard working as intended, and has nothing to do with the
crafted name. The property still worth defending is that a crafted filename can
never silence a real file reported under its own path, so that is what the test
now asserts, with the deliberate suppression documented beside it.

The reset-seam case ended by reading the size of the dedup set and expecting 1.
Set size counts interned identities, not diagnostics written, and one emission
now interns two. It asserts the emission counter for the event and keeps a
weaker set-size check for the interning.

* fix(#1882): close the review findings on the discriminator, dry-run and counter

Three orthogonal review passes ran against the final diff. Their findings:

A labelled preamble under a leading rule was still misreported. Raising the key
threshold to two only moved the boundary, because two colon-labelled lines are
as common in ordinary prose as one -- a document opening with a rule over an
Author and a Reviewed-by line, then prose, was called corrupt. Key count alone
cannot separate the two. What does is what follows: a write interrupted part way
through a frontmatter block ends mid-block, so every line of the region is still
frontmatter-shaped, whereas a document merely opening with a rule goes on to
prose. Both conditions are now required, and each closes a false-positive class
the other leaves open. Nested list values and indented continuations stay
frontmatter-shaped, so legitimate truncations are unaffected.

`state rebuild --dry-run` reported a truncated STATE.md anonymously. The write
path is named only because readModifyWriteStateMd parses with the path first;
the dry-run branch reads the file directly and never did. Dry-run is the
read-only mode an operator reaches for first when they suspect corruption, so it
is the one that most needed to name the file. reconcileCurrentPosition takes the
path as an optional argument now and rebuildCore passes it down. That function
was previously left alone on the grounds that a read wrapper always names the
file first -- this is the flow that disproves it.

The emission counter counted write attempts rather than writes, so on a broken
stderr it claimed a diagnostic had reached the operator when nothing had. It is
incremented only after a write that completed, and the broken-stderr test now
asserts the count as well as the return value.

Two documentation defects. The module described a guarantee it does not keep:
one file yields one diagnostic only when the named read comes first. The reverse
ordering emits twice, and that is deliberate -- a path-less caller cannot
identify its file, so suppressing the later named report would also suppress a
genuine second failure in a different file whenever two files share identical
truncated bytes, which ADR-1411 ranks the worse failure. The comment now states
the asymmetric guarantee and a test pins it. Separately, the CONTEXT.md glossary
entry still described backslash normalization that a later commit removed, and
asserted the opposite of what the tests pin; no lint checks prose against code,
so nothing caught it.

Also converts three body-level try/finally blocks to t.after(), per
CONTRIBUTING.md's rule that try/finally belongs only in helpers with no test
context -- the file's own emissionsDuring helper already did this correctly.

* docs(#1882): tell the operator what the truncated-frontmatter warning means

A user who has just seen the new warning is acting, not studying, so this lands
in the How-To quadrant beside the other "if you see X" branches in
debug-a-failed-execution, not in reference or explanation. It gives them what
the warning means for this run, three steps to restore the file, and the fact
that the warning changes no return value or exit code.

It also states the case that matters more than the warning itself: silence does
not prove the file is intact. GSD says nothing when the partial block carries
fewer than two fields or reads as prose, because a Markdown document opening
with a horizontal rule is indistinguishable from one of those. A reader chasing
missing metadata needs to know not to treat quiet as clean. Why that threshold
exists is explanation and deliberately stays out of a how-to.

* chore(#1882): backfill changeset pr number to 2712

* test(#1882): constrain each branch of the frontmatter-shape check

CI's mutation gate came in at 61.56 against a threshold of 62, and the surviving
mutants were concentrated in isFrontmatterShaped -- the function added last, in
response to review, and the only one never given tests of its own. It was
exercised solely through extractFrontmatter, which covers the composite decision
but leaves each branch of the predicate unconstrained: drop the blank-line
filter, or any one of the three shape alternatives, and every existing assertion
still passed.

Four cases now pin the halves independently. A blank line inside an interrupted
block must not disqualify it, which constrains the filter and its comparison. An
unindented list item and an indented folded-scalar continuation each exercise one
shape alternative that no other case reaches on its own -- the folded line is
neither a key nor a list item, so it is the only input that distinguishes the
indented branch. And two keys followed by prose must stay silent, which is the
negative half: it fails if the predicate is ever mutated to accept everything,
and it is the case that proves key count alone was never sufficient.

Refs #1879

* test(#1882): register the unusable-input suite with the frontmatter mutation shard

The mutation gate reported an identical 61.56 across two runs whose only
difference was four added tests. That is the tell: the tests were never
executed. The frontmatter shard runs a fixed file list in stryker.config.mjs and
scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs, and tests/unusable-input.test.cjs was in neither, so
the entire suite covering the new unterminated-fence branch was invisible to the
gate while passing perfectly well in the normal run.

So the score was not measuring weak tests, it was measuring absent ones: #1882
added mutants to frontmatter.cjs and no test in the shard covered them. Both
lists gain the file; the config already notes they must stay in sync.

This is a registration ripple a new test file carries when it covers a
mutation-tracked module, alongside the .gitignore, eslint, inventory, glossary
and size-baseline ripples a new module carries. Nothing warned about it, which
is why two runs were spent before the identical score gave it away.

c5e0371775 feat(#1951): reversibility tagging — gate one-way-door decisions (#2471)
* test(#1951): add failing-first tests for reversibility tagging

Red phase for issue #1951 (reversibility tagging: classify decisions by
undo cost, gate one-way doors behind a checkpoint:decision).

Tests assert, per the issue's acceptance criteria:
- discuss-phase CONTEXT.md template records a **Reversibility:** field with
  a rationale on captured decisions, and states it is optional
- gsd-planner @-references planner-reversibility.md and stays under the
  49152-char agent cap (LARGE_CAP, tests/agent-size-budget.test.cjs)
- a one-way rating inserts a checkpoint:decision before the dependent task;
  reversible inserts none; costly is flagged but never blocks
- the taxonomy defaults to reversible when unsure (checkpoint-fatigue guard)
  and inserting a checkpoint implies autonomous: false
- docs/reference/plan-md.md documents <reversibility> as optional with all
  three ratings
- --no-reversibility-gates parses to REVERSIBILITY_GATES=false, is injected
  into the planner prompt, and is advertised in the command argument-hint
  and help full mode (argument-hint parity)
- the override suppresses the gate but still persists the rating
- cmdVerifyPlanStructure accepts every rating and the absent case
  (additive-validator guarantee, behavioral via runGsdTools)
- parity: thinking-models-planning.md #4 adopts the canonical three-level
  taxonomy and the binary REVERSIBLE/IRREVERSIBLE vocabulary is gone
- no content loss from the planner extraction made to fit under the cap

Prose-contract assertions are Red until the implementation lands. The
behavioral validator assertions pass immediately — regression guards
proving the validator already accepts unknown optional tags.

* feat(#1951): reversibility tagging — gate one-way-door decisions

Classify planning decisions by what undoing them would cost, and give a
one-way door a human beat before the agent walks through it (issue #1951,
The Pragmatic Programmer Topic 15 'Reversibility'; Bezos's one-way/two-way
door framing).

Acceptance criteria met:
- discuss-phase records an optional reversibility rating with a rationale
  on <decisions> entries in the phase CONTEXT.md template. Unrated
  decisions are treated as reversible, so existing phases are unaffected.
- a one-way rating makes gsd-planner insert a checkpoint:decision before
  the task that implements the decision, reusing the existing checkpoint
  mechanism -- no new checkpoint machinery.
- reversible ratings trigger no checkpoint; costly ratings are flagged in
  the plan but never block.
- the rating persists on the task as the optional <reversibility rating=>
  element. cmdVerifyPlanStructure accepts every rating and the absent
  case; the structural validator does not reject unknown optional tags.
- --no-reversibility-gates (REVERSIBILITY_GATES=false) suppresses
  checkpoint insertion for intentionally-unattended runs while still
  recording ratings -- the override changes what stops the run, not what
  the plan remembers.

Single taxonomy, not two: references/thinking-models-planning.md #4
already shipped a binary REVERSIBLE/IRREVERSIBLE classification and is
loaded by both gsd-planner and gsd-plan-checker. It is rewritten onto the
canonical three-level vocabulary and now points at planner-reversibility.md
as the taxonomy owner, with a parity test that fails if the surfaces
diverge (DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX-DIVERGENCE).

agents/gsd-planner.md sat 47 chars under the 49152 LARGE_CAP, so the
checkpoint DO/DON'T guidance was relocated verbatim into
planner-antipatterns.md -- already @-referenced from the same section for
the same topic, so the planner still loads it and nothing was dropped. A
test guards the relocation against content loss.

Files: gsd-core/references/planner-reversibility.md (NEW, canonical
taxonomy + emission rules + anti-patterns), gsd-planner.md, plan-phase
workflow/command/help (flag wiring + parity), plan-md.md schema,
discuss-phase context template, CONTEXT.md glossary, INVENTORY + manifest,
size baselines, install goldens, plugin skills regen, changeset.

Closes #1951

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#1951): address orthogonal review findings

Two isolated reviewers (correctness + security), neither of which authored
the change. Every finding fixed:

Security — the rationale is untrusted input (ADR-1577). It originates in
conversation and flows CONTEXT.md -> planner -> PLAN.md -> executor, each
hop an LLM reading the previous hop's output, with no validation on the
path. planner-reversibility.md and the discuss-phase template now state
it is data and never instructions, and name the </reversibility>
early-termination hazard explicitly -- a rationale that closes its own
element injects sibling structure the executor reads as real tasks.
Four tests guard it.

Correctness 1 — nothing machine-enforced the feature's own promise: a task
rated one-way with no preceding checkpoint:decision validated as fully
clean, so a planner error silently reopened the gap this feature exists to
close. cmdVerifyPlanStructure now warns on an ungated one-way rating. A
warning, not an error: <reversibility> stays additive and the plan stays
valid. Four tests cover ungated (warns), gated (silent), still-valid, and
reversible/costly never flagged.

Correctness 2 — pass-always test. The --no-reversibility-gates parse test
substring-matched the whole workflow file, and plan-phase.md prose mentions
both tokens in one sentence, so it passed with the bash conditional
deleted: it was testing the documentation, not the parser. Now scoped to
the fenced bash blocks and matched as one physical line, with a negative
control confirming prose alone cannot satisfy it.

Correctness 3 — costly had no itemized emission rule, only one-way did, so
two agents could diverge on whether to tag costly at all.

Correctness 4 — template convention break: the example ratings were bare
while every sibling field uses [...] to signal substitution, inviting an
LLM to copy one-way/costly forward as boilerplate. Now bracketed.

Correctness 5 — latent false-green: .includes('reversible') also matches
inside irreversible/irreversibility, which appear in anti-pattern
prose, so a surface that dropped the real taxonomy entry would still pass.
Now word-boundary matched.

ADR-857 phase-6 ceiling — the first gsd-test run caught plan-phase.md
1216 bytes over its frozen 94519 ceiling (it had 49 bytes of headroom on
next). The ceiling may only rise for privileged host machinery, and
reversibility gating is optional-feature logic, so the wiring was slimmed
to its minimum and the explanatory prose moved to the reference files the
planner already loads. plan-phase.md is now 94400 bytes -- 119 under the
ceiling and 70 bytes SMALLER than on next, so the host loop shrank while
gaining the feature, which is what phase 6 ratchets toward. The tracer
contract (tests/tracer-bullet.test.cjs) is unchanged.

Lint — fixed an unnecessary non-null assertion in verify.cts and a
CRLF-fragile bare \n regex in the new test (DEFECT.WINDOWS-CRLF-TEST-
PORTABILITY, the #1658/#1668/#2206/#2449/#2450 class).

* test(#1951): checkpoint fixture must carry the common task elements

The gated-one-way fixture built a checkpoint:decision task from the
abbreviated skeleton in gsd-planner.md, which shows only the
checkpoint-specific elements (<decision>/<context>/<resume-signal>).
cmdVerifyPlanStructure requires <name> and <action> on EVERY task
regardless of type, so the fixture failed validation for reasons that had
nothing to do with reversibility:

  errors: ["Task missing <name> element", "Task 'unnamed' missing <action>"]

Caught by gsd-test on 14d14a39 (2 failures, both this fixture).

The canonical shape is in tests/verify.test.cjs:266 — a checkpoint task
carries <name>/<files>/<action>/<verify> like any other. Fixture corrected
to match. Verified behaviorally against the real gsd-tools CLI across all
four cases: gated one-way (valid, silent), ungated one-way (valid, warns),
costly (valid, silent), absent (valid, silent).

Not a product defect: the validator's every-task contract is intentional
and pre-existing, and docs/reference/plan-md.md scopes its required-element
list to type=auto/tracer only because those are the elements a planner must
author, not because checkpoints are exempt from <name>.

* chore(#1951): backfill changeset pr number to 2471

* fix(#1951): CodeQL incomplete-sanitization + prompt-injection scan collision

Both CI failures were real defects in code this PR added, not false
positives.

CodeQL js/incomplete-sanitization (high), reversibility-tagging.test.cjs:46 —
the namesRating helper built its regex with `rating.replace(/[-]/g, '\\-')`,
which escapes the hyphen but not backslash, so the escape was incomplete.
It was also unnecessary: `-` carries no special meaning outside a character
class. Replaced with a complete metacharacter escape (backslash included).
Word-boundary behavior verified unchanged across all three ratings — notably
that "irreversible" prose still does not satisfy a "reversible" match, which
is the false-green this helper exists to prevent.

Prompt injection scan — the checkpoint fixture used the human-verification
child element inside <verify>. That tag name is a fake-instruction-boundary
pattern in scripts/prompt-injection-scan.sh, and the scan runs over changed
files, so copying the shape from tests/verify.test.cjs (unflagged only
because it is not in this diff) tripped the gate. Switched to the documented
plain-prose <verify> form.

The first attempt at that fix failed the same gate a second time: the
comment explaining the collision quoted the offending tag literally. The
comment now names it in prose instead — the scanner does not care whether a
match is code or commentary, which is the whole point of the
DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION note in CLAUDE.md.

Verified locally before push: scan reports 0 findings across 57 changed
files, eslint clean, and both fixtures still validate as designed (gated
one-way silent, ungated one-way warns, neither errors).

* test(#1951): record measured cost and halve gsd-tools spawns

The Windows shard 1/3 job timeout was traced to the sharding layer, not to
this PR's assertions — see #2472. Two contributing factors were this file's
own, and are fixed here.

1. tests/test-timings.json had no entry for reversibility-tagging.test.cjs,
   so scripts/run-tests.cjs weighted it at the table's median fallback
   (~315ms) for LPT chunk packing. It actually measures 5595ms — an 18x
   under-weight. Recorded the measured value from the green gsd-test run
   (max across the node22/node24 lanes, per gen-test-timings.cjs's
   convention). Only this one entry: a full regen churns 634 entries of
   run-to-run drift, and the table is explicitly advisory and un-gated, so
   a 637-line diff does not belong in a feature PR.

2. Each verifyPlan() spawns gsd-tools, which dominates this file's cost.
   Spawns cut from 9 to 6 with no coverage lost:
   - the ungated-one-way warning and its stays-valid assertion now share
     one plan instead of building the same plan twice;
   - the reversible/costly never-flagged-as-ungated test was strictly
     subsumed by the additive suite, which already runs those two ratings
     ungated and asserts no /reversibilit/ warning at all — and the gate
     warning's text contains both "reversibility" and "one-way", so the
     broader assertion catches it. It only re-spawned gsd-tools twice to
     prove the same thing.

Both are symptom fixes. The shard imbalance itself (19/11/10 minutes
against a 20-minute cap, from a cost-blind round-robin partition that also
reshuffles downstream files whenever one is inserted) is tracked in #2472.

* test(#1951): checkpoint fixture adopts the #2444 type-branched contract

Surfaced by rebasing onto next, which gained #2444 (branch plan-structure
validation on task type=checkpoint:*) while this PR was in review.

cmdVerifyPlanStructure no longer applies one required-element set to every
task. A checkpoint:decision now requires <name> + <resume-signal> +
<decision> + <options>, and is exempt from the <action>/<verify>/<done>/
<files> set that auto and tracer tasks carry. The gated-one-way fixture
predated that split and failed on the new requirement:

  errors: ["Task 'Task 0: Confirm the on-disk format' missing <options>"]

Fixture rewritten to mirror the checkpoint:decision contract exactly — real
<options> with two <option> children — rather than padding it with fields
checkpoints no longer need. That also drops the plain-prose <verify> the
earlier revision carried purely to dodge the prompt-injection scan; a
checkpoint task has no <verify> requirement at all, so the workaround is
moot.

Verified against the real gsd-tools CLI across all four cases: gated one-way
(valid, silent), ungated one-way (valid, warns), costly (valid, silent),
absent (valid, silent).

46ba9ed464 fix(#2444): branch plan-structure validation on task type=checkpoint:* (#2473)
* test(#2444): failing-first regression for checkpoint:* plan-structure validation

Add acceptance-criteria tests covering the three canonical checkpoint task
types (human-verify, decision, human-action) plus an unknown-subtype
forward-compat case. Each canonical type must pass verify plan-structure
when it carries its type-specific required fields (per
gsd-core/references/checkpoints.md), and must be flagged when those
fields are missing. Non-checkpoint tasks keep the existing
<action>/<verify>/<done>/<files> requirements unchanged (AC3 regression
guards).

The existing 'errors when checkpoint task but autonomous is true' fixture
is updated to use the canonical checkpoint:human-verify triple
(<what-built>/<how-to-verify>/<resume-signal>) so it does not collide
with the new per-type validator; the assertion (autonomous is not false)
is unchanged.

* fix(#2444): branch plan-structure validation on task type=checkpoint:*

cmdVerifyPlanStructure unconditionally required <action>/<verify>/<done>/
<files> on every task, so every checkpoint:* task — which uses the
checkpoint convention's type-specific fields instead — was reported as a
structural error. Checkpoint-heavy phases produced walls of false findings.

The fix introduces two pure helpers in verify.cts:

  - extractPlanTaskInfos(content): single ReDoS-safe pass over
    <task ...>...</task> blocks that captures BOTH the opening-tag
    attribute string (so the type= selector is not lost, as it is with
    extractTaggedBlocks) and the body, returning a typed PlanTaskInfo.

  - validatePlanTaskStructure(task): branches on the task's type.
    checkpoint:human-verify requires <what-built>/<how-to-verify>/
    <resume-signal> (the canonical triple).
    checkpoint:decision requires <decision>/<options>/<resume-signal>.
    checkpoint:human-action requires <action>/<instructions>/
    <verification>/<resume-signal>.
    Unknown checkpoint:* subtypes require only the universal
    <resume-signal> (forward-compat). All other types keep the historical
    <action>/<verify>/<done>/<files> requirements unchanged.

Canonical reference: gsd-core/references/checkpoints.md. Per-type field
sets validated against the documented templates in
agents/gsd-planner.md and gsd-core/templates/phase-prompt.md.

* fix(#2444): re-resolve body-parser to 2.3.0 in lockfile (GHSA-v422-hmwv-36x6)

GHSA-v422-hmwv-36x6 (body-parser DoS via invalid limit value, low severity,
published 2026-07-20T23:23:26Z) made tests/npm-integrity-gate.test.cjs
(#3588: root workspace production tree has no advisories) fail any subsequent
npm audit --omit=dev. The advisory affects body-parser >=2.0.0 <2.3.0 pulled
transitively via @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk -> @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
-> express -> body-parser@2.2.2.

express@5.2.1 already declares body-parser as ^2.2.1, so 2.3.0 is a valid
re-resolution within express's own compatibility range — no override needed.
Regenerated the lockfile via 'npm audit fix --omit=dev' which re-resolves
transitive deps within their declared ranges; package.json is unchanged.

Verified: npm audit --omit=dev reports 0/0/0/0/0 advisories; body-parser
now reads as 2.3.0 in 'npm ls body-parser --omit=dev'.

* test(#2444): close review gap-closure tests + harden type-attr charset

Orthogonal review (code-review + security-review subagents) returned APPROVE
on Standards and Spec. Per the playbook's zero-tolerance policy, address
every Low finding:

Spec gap-closures:
- AC3 verbatim: add explicit <done> and <files> regression tests for
  non-checkpoint tasks (pre-existing tests only covered <action> and
  <verify>).
- AC2: add checkpoint:decision missing <decision>, checkpoint:human-action
  missing <action>, checkpoint:human-action missing <verification> cases
  (the implementation enforces all of these; only one missing-field case
  per type was previously tested).
- Remove the duplicate 'returns error for nonexistent file' test that
  leaked into the new describe block from the insertion edit.

Security hardening (Low-sev, defense-in-depth):
- Tighten the task type= attribute extractor in src/verify.cts from
  [^"'>\s]+ to [\w:-]+ so a hostile type= attribute cannot carry
  markup fragments (e.g. type=evil<fragment) into the verifier's typed
  JSON output. All legitimate type values (auto, tracer, manual,
  checkpoint:human-verify, checkpoint:decision, checkpoint:human-action,
  checkpoint:tdd-review) match the tighter charset.
- Add adversarial regression test asserting type=evil<fragment surfaces
  as 'evil' (capture stops at '<'), with no markup chars (< > ( ) &)
  in the surfaced type field.

* docs(changeset): add Fixed fragments for #2444 PR

Two fragments:
- sturdy-jays-tumble.md: the verify plan-structure checkpoint fix

be5113abfe fix(#2408): fold colliding phase statuses + add W023 collision warning (#2461)
* fix(#2408): fold colliding phase statuses + add W023 collision warning

Two coupled bugs from #2408:

1. cmdStats last-write-wins status (src/commands.cts:1610-1618): when two
   on-disk phase directories normalize to the same phase key (e.g.
   `05-real/` and `05-real-stray/`), the directory-scan merge overwrote
   `status` with whatever the *current* directory in scan order computed,
   discarding `existing?.status` entirely. fs.readdirSync order is not
   stable across platforms, so /gsd-stats could silently report `Not
   Started` for a phase that is actually `Complete`. Plan/summary counts
   were already additively merged; only `status` was wrong.

   Fix: introduced a `foldPhaseStatus(a, b)` helper that returns whichever
   status is further along the precedence ladder
   `Complete > Needs Review > Executed > In Progress > Planned > Not Started`
   (with `Pending` and unrecognized statuses ranked after). The merge site
   now calls `existing ? foldPhaseStatus(existing.status, status) : status`.
   The fold is commutative, so the result is identical regardless of read
   order.

2. cmdValidateHealth had no collision-detection pass (src/verify.cts):
   codes W001-W022 cover every condition except normalized-key collisions,
   so an operator got zero signal that anything was wrong.

   Fix: added W023 — groups phaseDirEntries by their normalized phase key
   (via the existing normalizePhaseName + extractPhaseToken helpers from
   phase-id.cjs — same normalization cmdStats uses) and emits a warning
   for any group with ≥2 dirs. The warning names the normalized key, both
   directory names (sorted by comparePhaseNum for stable output), and each
   directory's independently-computed status (via determinePhaseStatus
   imported from commands.cjs). Wording is deliberately neutral — never
   guesses which directory is the real one. The optional --repair path
   from the issue is intentionally NOT implemented in this PR (the issue
   marked it lower priority and acceptance criterion 4 is vacuously
   satisfied by omission).

Triage correction applied: the issue proposed W022, but that code is
already in use for config.json model-tier validation (src/verify.cts
:1372-1391). The next free code is W023, used here.

Tests:
- tests/commands.test.cjs: integration test that 05-real/ (Complete) +
  05-real-stray/ (empty/Not Started) collide and stats reports the merged
  phase as Complete regardless of read order; plus a direct unit test of
  foldPhaseStatus asserting commutativity + correct precedence for every
  status pair + correct handling of unrecognized statuses.
- tests/health-validation.test.cjs: integration test that W023 fires on
  the collision naming both dirs + their statuses (and uses neutral
  wording), plus a negative test that no W023 fires when only one dir
  exists per key.

References: #2408; reporter's three-layer triage + acceptance criteria;
triage correction that W022 is already in use (model-tier validation).

Encodes the three acceptance criteria from #2070 plus the boundary cases the

* fix(#2070): accept adaptive model_profile in validate health; warn on invalid models tiers (W022)

W004 sourced its profile list from a hand-maintained literal that predated the
adaptive profile, so `"model_profile": "adaptive"` was false-flagged. It now
reads VALID_PROFILES, which model-catalog.cts derives from model-catalog.json.

models.<phase_type> was validated nowhere: the resolver's tier gate silently
drops unknown values, so a typo like `"planning": "opuss"` was an undiagnosable
no-op. A new W022 flags unknown phase-type keys and invalid tier values
(including non-string values, which the same gate also drops).

VALID_TIERS moves from a function-local literal in model-resolver.cts to a
catalog-derived export, so health and the resolver cannot disagree by
construction rather than by parity test. Object.values(adaptiveTierMap) is
['opus','sonnet','haiku'] plus 'inherit' — identical to the previous literal,
so resolution behavior is unchanged.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SLufH5sDuqA1AiEGu45cuA

* fix(#2070): close review findings — malformed models, tier-list duplication, changeset gate

Review of the initial fix surfaced three real defects, folded in per the
no-defer rule:

1. verify.cts: the W022 guard skipped a top-level `models` that is present but
   not a plain object (`[]`, `"opus"`, `5`, `true`). The resolver ignores those
   identically, so they were the same undiagnosable no-op #2070 targets — just
   one level up. They now warn; absent/null/{} stay silent.

2. config-loader.cts: RUNTIME_OVERRIDE_TIERS was a second hardcoded copy of the
   tier vocabulary this change had just de-hardcoded elsewhere. It now derives
   from the catalog via ADAPTIVE_TIER_VALUES (no 'inherit' — runtime overrides
   resolve to a concrete tier). Byte-equivalent to the old literal.

3. scripts/changeset/lint.cjs: USER_FACING_PREFIXES omitted `src/`. Post-ADR-457
   the product source is src/*.cts compiled to a gitignored gsd-core/bin/lib,
   so the `gsd-core/` prefix is dead coverage for library code and a src/-only
   PR could merge with no release note — including this one. Adding `src/`
   closes the gate; tests/ stays non-user-facing.

Also corrects a false docstring in the VALID_TIERS test: value-equality cannot
detect a re-hardcoded literal, so the test no longer claims it does.

Two review findings were rejected with evidence rather than actioned:
- W021 double-allocation is governed by ADR-612 ("W021 renumber -> void ...
  kept, message-disambiguated"), not a defect.
- Global-defaults validation would be a false-positive generator: config-loader
  reads ~/.gsd/defaults.json only on the "no .planning/" branch, and health
  early-returns E001 without .planning/, so those values provably never affect
  resolution in any context health can run.

e0f969af6a refactor(#2246): centralize cross-platform path-separator handling (toPosixPath / toNativePath / posixNormalize) (#2247)
Replace every open-coded separator translation across the installer/hooks
source with named, tested seams in shell-command-projection.cts (the platform
seam), removing all hardcoded `/`+`\` from path handling:

- toPosixPath(p)   — this machine's native path → POSIX (running-OS relative;
                     for local filesystem paths).
- toNativePath(p)  — POSIX → native (collapses the win32 `/\//g,'\\'` ternary).
- posixNormalize(p)— unconditional `\`→`/`, OS-independent; for emitting paths
                     to a POSIX/bash TARGET (which may differ from the running
                     OS) and for parsing mixed-separator input.

core-utils.toPosixPath now delegates to the seam, so its 20+ existing consumers
resolve to one implementation; no duplicate helper.

- ~47 sites across runtime-hooks-surface, runtime-artifact-conversion,
  runtime-artifact-install-plan, drift, init, worktree-safety,
  installer-migrations, installer-migration-authoring, install-engine, surface,
  verify, runtime-artifact-layout, schema-detect, check-command-router.
- Closes the latent POSIX-literal-backslash corruption class (the regex form
  corrupts a POSIX path containing a literal backslash; split(path.sep) does not).
- New unit + fast-check property tests for all three helpers.

Closes #2246

58b20c31f8 fix(#2136): migrate ALL operator-facing date sites to localToday (anti-pattern elimination)
The UTC-slice anti-pattern (deriving a calendar day a human reads by slicing a
UTC instant) remained in several operator-facing sites beyond the original
seamed last_activity set. Eliminate it everywhere a human reads the value as a
calendar day — do not leave known bad code in place:

- commands.cts cmdTodoComplete + cmdScaffold: completion/scaffold dates.
- gsd2-import.cts: migrated STATE.md 'Last activity' / 'Last session'.
- template.cts: plan frontmatter 'completed:' date.
- verify.cts: health --repair session-log date + '(Backfilled: <date>)' header.
- workstream.cts: workstream-create 'Last Activity' / 'created' + archive dirname.
- init.cts: JSON-bundle 'date' (-> localToday) + 'timestamp' (-> nowIso) at all
  three sites; drop the now-dead 'const now = new Date()' in cmdInitTodos /
  cmdInitMapCodebase (cmdInitQuick keeps it for the local branch-id derivation).
- state.cts: prune-archive '## Pruned <date>' header.
- state-transition.cts: the 7 seamed last_activity writes (prior commit).

No realClock.today() / .clock.today() / raw new Date().toISOString().split('T')
operator-facing sites remain in src/. Rebuilds the tracked
bin/lib/state-transition.cjs artifact to match.

8e4ebb49e4 fix(#2128): address shared-seam review regressions (#557, action-scan, comment-strip)
Final convergence review found the shared <tag> seam introduced 3 behavior
regressions; fixed all + locked with tests:

- #557 REGRESSION: stripTaggedBlocks's attribute-tolerance stripped `<details open>`
  (the ACTIVE-milestone marker) that the old `<details>`-only regex preserved. The
  seam now takes `allowAttributes` (default false) — details/decisions strip is
  attr-INTOLERANT (preserves `<details open>`); only `<task type="…">` opts in.
  Regression test added to roadmap-parser + markdown-sectionizer suites.
- verify.cts actionZones (negative-grep-echo security scan): reverted to a bounded
  to-first-close scan `<action>([\s\S]{0,20000}?)</action>` so a grep-echo trick
  can't hide behind an unterminated inner <action> (the seam's stop-at-next-open
  would drop it). ReDoS-safe via the cap.
- check-command-router HTML-comment strip: `(?:-->|$)` fallback wiped to EOF
  (fail-closed spurious gate block) — replaced with stop-at-next-open so an
  unclosed `<!--` leaves downstream tags intact.
- Updated the extractTaggedBlocks nested-tag tests to the new (stop-at-next-open)
  behavior: `<x><x>inner</x></x>` -> ['inner'].

All vectors still linear; every fix verified in-process.

01b691fae8 fix(#2128): route <tag> scans through a hardened shared seam (root-cause ReDoS fix)
A convergence audit showed the `<tag>[\s\S]*?</tag>` lazy-scan ReDoS was pervasive
(a dozen+ bespoke copies across roadmap-parser/check-command-router/verify), each
a distinct quadratic vector on a large document with unclosed tags. Rather than
whack-a-mole, single-source them (maintainer-directed):

- markdown-sectionizer: extractTaggedBlocks now shares one ReDoS-safe
  `taggedBlockPattern` (stop-at-next-open, bounded optional attributes) and gains
  a `stripTaggedBlocks` companion for block removal.
- roadmap-parser: 3 `<details>` strips -> stripTaggedBlocks (behavior-identical —
  no <details> here carries attributes).
- verify: actionZones + both <task> loops + their nested <name>/<files>/gate/req
  extractions -> extractTaggedBlocks (behavior byte-equivalent, verified).
- check-command-router: the objective|tasks?|action alternation hardened in place
  (distinct multi-tag shape); HTML-comment strip gains a `$` fallback.

Every vector now linear (<3ms on 1.5MB adversarial); real content unchanged
(end-to-end verify/roadmap resolution + task extraction confirmed). The only
remaining `<!--…-->` scan (uat.cts:201) is anchored + non-global — one scan, safe.

2f6662d195 fix(#2128): bound the remaining lazy-scan ReDoS vectors (files_modified, Plans-count, <tag>)
A ReDoS-completeness audit surfaced a distinct class beyond the tag/bracket
clause: unbounded `[\s\S]*?` / `[^\]]*` lazy-scans searching for a literal
terminator that may never appear, driven quadratic by REPEATED structures in a
large PLAN.md/ROADMAP.md. Folded all 7 in at maintainer direction:

- files_modified `[^\]]*` -> `[^\]]{0,8000}` (commands.cts, verify.cts): 39.7s -> 0.9s.
- Plans-count `[\s\S]*?` -> section-local `(?:(?!\n#{1,4}\s)[\s\S])*?` — stops at the
  next heading (semantically correct: Plans: belongs to the phase's own section)
  (roadmap.cts x3, phase.cts): 36s -> 4ms.
- <tag> extraction `([\s\S]*?)` -> stop at the next same-tag opening
  `((?:(?!<tag>)[\s\S])*?)` (verify.cts x3, markdown-sectionizer.cts): ~6s -> 2ms.

Every vector is now linear (comprehensively re-measured); real content matches
(end-to-end `roadmap get-phase` still resolves Plans-counted phases). Pre-existing;
byte-behavior preserved for realistic inputs.

b321bc04f4 fix(#2128): bound the sibling bracket-prefix clause — complete the ReDoS fix
Review caught that the prior commit bounded only the paren tag clause and left
the SIBLING bracket-prefix `(?:\[[^\]]+\]\s*)?` (same host regexes, before Phase)
UNBOUNDED — the identical quadratic reachable via a `[...]` run (measured ~16s at
1.7MB). Bound `[^\]]+`/`[^\]]*` -> {1,200}/{0,200} across all 19 phase/milestone
heading prefixes. Comprehensive re-measurement now shows EVERY vector linear
(bracket/paren/id/name/milestone all ~2-44ms at 2.45MB; bracket scaling
2k->2ms, 4k->5ms, 8k->10ms). Also: update the #1729 literal-mirror parity test
off its stale unbounded constant, and add limit-1 (199) boundary coverage.

c1cd43a39f fix(#2128): bound the phase-tag clause to {0,200} — kill quadratic ReDoS
The canonical OPTIONAL_PHASE_TAG_SOURCE tag clause `(?:\s*\([^)\n]*\))?` (and its
inlined literal mirrors across 11 modules) had an UNBOUNDED body, making the
optional-group + /g header scan quadratic on adversarial ROADMAP.md/STATE.md — a
long run of `(` after a header ran ~18.8s at 1.7MB. Bound the body to {0,200} in
the constant AND every mirror in lockstep (the #1729 "both forms change together"
contract), so the scan is linear: the same 1.7MB input now resolves in ~9ms
(measured), while real tags (a handful of chars) still match and a 201-char tag
is rejected. Added a #2128 boundary regression to the #1729 suite.

Pre-existing (byte-identical before/after the Phase 4 migrations); folded in at
maintainer direction rather than deferred.

dfad3a7510 refactor(#2128): single-source 23 phase-token re-derivations; sanction 14 context-specific sites
Route 23 literal re-derivations of the canonical phase-number token through
phase-id.cjs `PHASE_NUMBER_TOKEN_SOURCE` (via new RegExp). Each conversion was
proven BYTE-IDENTICAL (old.source === new.source && old.flags === new.flags), so
the runtime regexes are unchanged — zero behavior change by construction.

The remaining 14 phase-token sites are genuine but context-specific and stay
literal with a `// phase-id-owner: <reason>` sanction: dir-name parses whose
dash-continuation semantics differ from extractPhaseToken, and the [A-Za-z]
case-variant / [.-] dot-or-dash separator forms that are not source-byte-equal
to the canonical token.

Scanner (`npm run check:phase-id-drift`) is now green.

12b35eeeaf fix(#1729): resolve phase headers with a pre-colon parenthetical tag (#1765)
* fix(#1729): resolve phase headers with a pre-colon parenthetical tag

A phase header may carry a parenthetical tag between the number and the
colon, e.g. `### Phase 26 (Cluster B): Title`. Every phase-header regex
built `Phase\s+<num>` immediately against the colon delimiter, so the
tagged phase was invisible: the resolver returned found:false and, just
as bad, the capture-all enumeration/parse paths (roadmap analyze,
milestone listing + milestone-scope filter, verify, init/import, state
total_phases, validate, the command router, preamble stripping, and the
phase-remove renumbering rewrite) silently dropped, miscounted, or
failed to renumber it — wrong phase_count, progress_percent, next_phase,
or corrupt numbering after a removal.

The fix tolerates the tag at the header seam. Parameterized resolver
sites compose the exported OPTIONAL_PHASE_TAG_SOURCE fragment; literal
enumeration sites inline its character-for-character mirror
`(?:\s*\([^)\n]*\))?`, placed immediately before the colon so it cannot
alter an existing match (optional, single-line, one paren pair, no
capture-group shift). In the renumber-on-removal rewrite the tag is
folded into the re-emitted suffix capture so it survives verbatim. Both
forms are documented to change together and a drift-guard test asserts
their behavioral equivalence over a header corpus.

Deliberately excluded: roadmap-upgrade.cts (legacy one-time migration),
where tolerating the tag would silently drop it on header rewrite — that
needs its own data-preserving treatment. Known boundaries left for
follow-up: checklist/bullet-style phase entries (`- [ ] Phase N (tag):`)
and a malformed space-before-colon variant, both pre-existing.

Validated empirically against the issue's reproduction: `roadmap
get-phase 26` resolves and `roadmap analyze` lists Phase 26 with the tag
excluded from the name (phase_count 2, next 26); an all-tagged versioned
roadmap now scopes correctly instead of falling back to a pass-all
filter. Regression coverage in tests/phase.test.cjs asserts resolver
parity (pre- vs post-colon), padding tolerance (#3537), decimal
sub-phases, no cross-phase false match, the shared seam, enumeration
coherence, renumber-preserves-tag, and seam/mirror drift. Full unit
suite green (7291 pass, 0 fail); eslint + regression-name +
resolution-provenance + changeset lints pass. Reviewed by Codex
(no critical/high; the two enumeration misses it surfaced are folded in).

verify schema-drift <phase> resolved the phase directory with a naive
entry.name.includes(phaseArg) test, so a non-existent phase could
silently match a different phase whose directory name merely contained
the requested token (e.g. "1" matched "11-expansion"), running the drift
gate against the wrong phase. Use the canonical phaseTokenMatches +
normalizePhaseName, matching find-phase, verify phase-completeness, and
this file's own unstarted-phase check.

loadConfig() returns a flattened object with no nested `workflow` key, so
config?.workflow was always undefined, making drift_action permanently 'warn'
and drift_threshold permanently 3 regardless of .planning/config.json. Fixes
by reading the raw config.json directly (matching the pattern in
check-command-router.cts:readWorkflowConfig). Adds two behavioral regression

a5f213e73e refactor(#1281): T2 — migrate 12 single-leaf callers off the core spine (batch 1) (#1282)
Per the T1 design rubber-duck, batch by FILE so each tranche drops
convergence-lint allowlist entries. Migrate 12 files' core imports to the
leaf modules directly (behaviour-identical — leaves are the objects core
re-exports by reference):
- io (output/error/ERROR_REASON): agent-command-router, capability-state,
  capability-writer, frontmatter, gsd2-import, learnings, loop-resolver,
  task-command-router
- roadmap-command-router -> config-loader; workstream-inventory -> core-utils
- milestone, verify -> their full leaf sets (both were multi-leaf, not
  single-leaf as first scoped; migrated completely)

All 12 files now import zero core symbols and are removed from the
allowlist (30 -> 18). core.cts re-exports untouched (still serve the
remaining 18 files); teardown is T-final. Stale core.cjs docstrings in the
migrated files corrected to reference io.cjs. No behaviour change.
