* test(#2686): failing-first parity guard for Workflow-backend model threading The Workflow backend emitted every agent() call with no model, so model_overrides / model_policy / model_profile were silently inert on that path while the inline path honored them (ADR-1411). Neither existing suite contained the string 'model' at all. The centrepiece derives BOTH sides from resolveModelInternal(cwd,'gsd-executor') rather than hardcoding either, so it asserts backend parity rather than a fixed string. Also covers: omit-on-inherit/empty (#2517), byte-identical output when nothing resolves, the #2772/#2285 per-plan worktree gate, adversarial model ids reaching the code generator, the #2285 composed seam, CLI config-defaulting, and a fast-check round-trip property. RED expected: no model key is emitted anywhere, and --executor-model does not exist.

The model was not dropped at the last step — it was absent from the whole seam: agentOptions() took no model, EmitInput had no field to carry one, and ResolveWaveDispatchInput (the #2285 seam the orchestrator actually calls) could not forward one. The generated script asserted the parity it broke. VERIFY-FIRST, which #2686 flags as the question that decides the fix: the Workflow tool's agent() DOES accept a per-call model. Its documented signature is agent(prompt, opts?: { label?, phase?, schema?, model?, effort?, isolation?, agentType? }) so fix branch 1 applies and branch 2 (declare model routing unavailable) is ruled out. ADR-1143:24's option enumeration omitting `model` is an incomplete enumeration, not a decision to exclude it. - agentOptions(p, executorModel) emits `model` only when it is a non-empty string that is not "inherit" (#2517: an empty model 404s on runtimes without native tier aliases). A non-string is a malformed config: omit, never throw. - executorModel threaded through EmitInput and ResolveWaveDispatchInput. - The CLI resolves gsd-executor from project config by DEFAULT rather than requiring a flag, reading the same source the inline path reads. An orchestrator that never learns about a new flag would otherwise silently keep the old bug. --executor-model exists only to pin/override. - ADR-1411 provenance: the generated header now states which model was applied, or that none resolved and why. A fallback must be a visible value. Compatibility: when nothing resolves, the emitted options object is byte-identical to before, so every existing caller and assertion is unaffected. Behavior change (Hyrum's Law): opted-in users move from session inheritance to the catalog-resolved executor model. Adding a `model` key also changes agent() opts, which invalidates the cached prefix of any in-flight resumeFromRunId run — a one-time re-execution. Both disclosed in the changeset. Fixes #2686 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01DPq9ovaovP2UvSVLjD4Lso * fix(#2686): reject script-breaking model ids and share the emit predicate The isolated adversarial review found a BLOCKER in my own provenance comment, proven by execution (the emitted script exited 42 from an injected statement). U+2028/U+2029 are ECMAScript LineTerminators that END a `//` single-line comment in EVERY engine — the ES2019 change legalized them inside string LITERALS only. So quoteString (JSON.stringify) is sufficient for the `model: "..."` object literal but NOT for the `// model: ...` provenance line I added: a raw U+2028 in a model id closed the comment and made the rest of the line live top-level code. The value is reachable from `.planning/config.json` (model_overrides / model_policy), which `mapClaudeOverrideForRuntime` passes through verbatim on any non-claude runtime — attacker-influenceable in a cloned repo. `emitWorkflowScript` now rejects a string executorModel carrying any character in UNSCRIPTABLE_CHAR_RE — the same class `isScriptableIdentifier` already applied to phaseDir/runId, which is proof the codebase knew this hazard. Rejection is ok:false with a reason rather than a silent drop, and resolveWaveDispatch maps an emit failure to the inline backend WITH that reason, so the degradation is visible. A non-string stays on the existing defensive path (omit, never throw) — that is malformed config, not an injection attempt. Also from the reviews: - The predicate deciding "is this model emittable" was duplicated between the emission and the comment asserting it. Extracted to emittableModel() so a generated comment can never claim something the generator did not do — the exact failure class #2686 was filed for. - That predicate now trims and lower-cases before comparing, closing a real #2517-class gap: " " and "INHERIT" were previously emitted verbatim. - The adversarial test was pass-always against this very vulnerability — it asserted only that JSON.stringify appeared. Replaced with the real contract (rejection) plus an execution-level check that no LineTerminator survives into the comment. A raw U+2028 had also been committed into that test's fixture array where a tab was intended; both are now explicit \u escapes. - optionsOf in the test was /\{[^}]*\}/, which truncated at any brace a generated model contained — silently not testing what it claimed. Now brace- and string-aware. Stale-test corrections in tests/fix-2285-*: three assertions froze the exact options literal `{ agentType: "gsd-executor" }`. The object legitimately gained an optional additive `model` key, so they now assert the invariant they exist to protect (agentType present, isolation absent) rather than a frozen literal. The CLI-vs-pure equality test pins --executor-model on both sides; otherwise it compared a config-resolved CLI run against a pure call given no model. CONTEXT.md glossary updated for the changed emitWorkflowScript signature and the new rejection rule (CLAUDE.md: the glossary is a PR gate for core-module changes).

The emitted shape is agent("brief", { ... }), so that never matched and the helper returned an empty array, making every assertion over it vacuously true. It now anchors on agent( and takes the first balanced, string-aware {...} after it. - The fast-check property predated the security fix and asserted ok:true for any generated string. Strings carrying an unscriptable character are now rejected, so the property models the real three-way contract: unscriptable -> ok:false; trims to empty or 'inherit' (any case) -> omitted; otherwise -> emitted as the trimmed value. Verified locally against the built module: omit values clean, both plans carry the model on the parity path, property passes 500 runs at seed 42. Test file re-scanned for raw hazardous codepoints — zero; the U+2028/U+2029 cases are explicit \u escapes.

UNSCRIPTABLE_CHAR_RE is not exported from src/claude-orchestration.cts, hence the mirror.

GSD Core
Git. Ship. Done.
English · Português · 简体中文 · 日本語 · 한국어
A light-weight meta-prompting, context engineering, and spec-driven development system for Claude Code, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, Kimi CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.
What is GSD Core
GSD Core is a context-engineering and spec-driven development framework that drives AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI, Kimi CLI, Copilot, Cursor, and more) through a disciplined phase loop. It solves context rot — the quality degradation that accumulates as an AI fills its context window — by running all heavy research, planning, and execution work in fresh-context subagents while keeping your main session lean.
How it works
Each milestone repeats the same five-step loop, one phase at a time:
- Discuss — capture implementation decisions before anything is planned
- Plan — research, decompose, and verify the plan fits a fresh context window
- Execute — run plans in parallel waves; each executor starts with a clean 200k-token context
- Verify — walk through what was built; diagnose and fix before declaring done
- Ship — create the PR, archive the phase, repeat for the next one
Quickstart
npx @opengsd/gsd-core@latest
The installer prompts for your runtime (Claude Code, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, Kimi CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) and whether to install globally or locally. The installer is required for cross-runtime compatibility — do not copy files from agents/ or commands/ directly.
On another runtime or without Node.js? See Install on your runtime.
Once installed, start a new project or onboard an existing repo:
/gsd-new-project # greenfield project
/gsd-onboard # existing codebase

Why it works
Most AI-coding setups fail at scale because context bloat silently degrades output quality, there is no shared memory between sessions, and nothing verifies that code actually works. GSD Core solves all three: heavy work runs in fresh subagents, structured artifacts like STATE.md and CONTEXT.md survive session boundaries, and the verify step walks through what was built and generates fix plans before a phase is declared done. See docs/explanation/context-engineering.md for the full reasoning.
