Tom Boucher 0d08c32048 fix(#2590): emit Workflow scripts the Workflow tool accepts; make the backend reachable (#2681)
* fix(#2590): emit Workflow scripts the Workflow tool accepts; make the backend reachable

Every emitted script was rejected. Four invalid constructs, the first fatal on
its own, so the Workflow backend could never dispatch a wave:

  1. no `export const meta = {…}` first statement -> whole script rejected
  2. resumeFromRunId("<id>")  -> "resumeFromRunId is not defined". It is a
     Workflow TOOL INPUT parameter, not a script function. The run id still
     reaches the caller via summary.resumeRunId, to pass as that input.
  3. budget(<n>)              -> "budget is not a function". `budget` is a
     read-only object { total, spent(), remaining() } fed by the caller's token
     directive; a script cannot set it. Recorded as intent in a comment.
  4. parallel(agent(…), agent(…)) -> "parallel() expects an array of functions".
     Now parallel([() => agent(…), …]) — passing agent() results directly also
     started every agent eagerly, before parallel() could bound concurrency.

The single-plan stage had its own branch with the same parallel() defect; both
branches are now one array-emitting path. Waves also emit phase() calls whose
titles match meta.phases exactly, so progress groups correctly.

Two secondary defects kept the script from ever being REACHED — which is why
this shipped undetected:

  5. NOTHING resolved the Agent SDK version. The fragment claimed there was "no
     scriptable way" to introspect it and told callers to omit the flag, so
     gate 5 returned agent_sdk_version_unknown on every automated run while
     `capability state` still reported active:true. True for bash, false for
     Node: the router now reads the installed @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk
     version, walking node_modules up the tree and reading package.json
     directly — require.resolve throws ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED because the
     SDK's exports map does not expose ./package.json. Precedence: explicit flag
     > GSD_AGENT_SDK_VERSION > installed. Fail-closed is preserved; an
     unresolvable version still declines to inline. A too-old SDK now reports
     the truthful agent_sdk_version_below_floor instead of unknown.
  6. The runtime fallback was `--runtime > GSD_RUNTIME > 'unknown'`, diverging
     from the canonical `GSD_RUNTIME > config.runtime > 'claude'`, so any
     invocation without --runtime reported runtime_not_claude on an ordinary
     Claude project. Now delegates to runtime-slash.resolveRuntime.

The fragment's `${AGENT_SDK_VERSION:+--agent-sdk-version "$AGENT_SDK_VERSION"}`
snippet is removed rather than repaired: it was also shell-dependent — zsh does
not word-split unquoted parameter expansions, so it collapsed to a single argv
element, argValue() never matched, and the run failed into the same
agent_sdk_version_unknown, indistinguishable from genuinely unknown. Auto-
resolution removes the need for the construct entirely.

Verified with the issue's own repro: no flags now reaches the version gate; an
SDK above the floor yields backend:"workflow" with a script that parses as a
real ES module.

* fix(#2590): sync generated registry, repair sibling tests, reject duplicate wave ids

Findings from the isolated review, all fixed.

HIGH — gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs was stale, and `lint:ci` was
already RED because of it. The registry embeds the fragment text INLINE, so the
shipped/installed copy still taught the exact broken contract this PR fixes:
the old `${AGENT_SDK_VERSION:+…}` bash line and the "OMIT the flag when unknown"
guidance. Regenerated. (I had read `lint:ci` by grepping its output instead of
checking its exit code, so I recorded a red chain as green — checking $? now.)

HIGH — three existing tests asserted the OLD broken shape and would have failed
CI; none was touched by the first commit:
  tests/fix-2285-claude-orchestration-wiring.test.cjs — matched resumeFromRunId("…")
  tests/claude-orchestration.test.cjs                 — .includes('budget(')
  tests/claude-orchestration-command-router.test.cjs  — .includes('budget(')
Each now asserts the corrected contract: the id/pool reaches the caller via
summary, and neither construct is ever CALLED. Two sibling assertions had also
gone vacuous — `.includes('resumeFromRunId')` still passed, but only because the
new explanatory COMMENT contains that substring, not because anything is wired.
Rewritten to assert the real property.

MEDIUM — duplicate wave ids were never rejected. Plan-id uniqueness was checked
within a wave, but nothing checked wave ids across waves. That was harmless
before; it is not now, because each wave emits a `phase("Wave <id>")` call plus a
matching meta.phases entry and the tool matches titles by exact string — two
waves sharing an id would collapse into one progress group and misattribute the
second wave's agents to the first. Rejected at validation, with tests either
side of the boundary.

MEDIUM — the fragment contradicted itself (its "Manifest construction" header
still listed $AGENT_SDK_VERSION as orchestrator-built) and, more seriously, never
told the orchestrator to pass summary.resumeRunId as the Workflow tool's
resumeFromRunId INPUT. Since this PR moves resume from a broken in-script call to
a tool-invocation input, an implementer following only the fragment would have
silently regressed phase-resume to a no-op. Both fixed.

MEDIUM — docs/how-to/enable-claude-orchestration-workflow-backend.md and
docs/explanation/claude-orchestration-capability.md documented
`resumeFromRunId("<id>")` and `budget(<tokens>)` as current correct output —
teaching the bug as the feature. Updated to the real contract, including the
required meta block and the thunk-array parallel() form. (The changeset is
`Fixed`, so the docs gate exempts this; it is corrected because it is wrong,
not because a gate demanded it.)

LOW — the router's top-of-file comment still described the divergent
`--runtime > GSD_RUNTIME > 'unknown'` chain as current, ninety lines above the
fix; and inserting resolveInstalledAgentSdkVersion had orphaned
resolveDetectionArgs' JSDoc above the wrong function. Both repaired.

lint:ci now exits 0 (verified by exit code, not by reading output).

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.

npm version npm downloads Tests Discord GitHub stars License


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:

  1. Discuss — capture implementation decisions before anything is planned
  2. Plan — research, decompose, and verify the plan fits a fresh context window
  3. Execute — run plans in parallel waves; each executor starts with a clean 200k-token context
  4. Verify — walk through what was built; diagnose and fix before declaring done
  5. 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.
