Tom Boucher 115433bba6 fix(#2539): anchor commit phase-token detection; drop silent wrong-branch switch (#2669)
* fix(#2539): anchor commit phase-token extraction to the phases/ segment; drop silent switch-to-existing

cmdCommit auto-detected the commit's phase from --files with an unanchored
`match(/(\d+(?:\.\d+)*)-/)`, which returns the leftmost digit-run-then-hyphen
anywhere in the joined path. A project_code ending in a digit (PROJECT_V2) made
`.planning/phases/PROJECT_V2-07-name/…` match the `2-` inside `V2-` before the
real `07-` token, resolving phase 2. findPhaseInternal also searches archived
milestones, so an existing archived phase 2 produced a real branch name and the
silent `git checkout <existing-branch>` fallback switched the whole working tree
onto the wrong branch in the same call that then committed.

The extraction now anchors to the directory segment immediately under
`.planning/phases/` (or `.planning/milestones/<v>-phases/`) and runs it through
the existing project-code-aware extractPhaseToken helper — the single owner
shared by the other 6 call sites — rather than introducing a fourth independent
copy of phase-token-matching logic. The auto-switch keeps create-if-absent only
(the #1278 intent: ensure the branch exists before the first commit on it); it
no longer force-switches an already-checked-out working branch onto a different
existing branch.

Adds two regression fixtures: a digit-suffixed project_code + an archived phase
whose number collides with the trailing digit (the silent-wrong-branch case),
and a pre-existing phase branch that must not be silently switched onto.

* test(#2539): assert non-silent warning; hoist execFileSync; normalizePhaseName guard

Address orthogonal-review findings on the #2539 fix:

- Spec AC2 ('an auto-checkout mid-commit must never happen silently'): the
  no-switch path now writes a 'Warning: resolved phase branch X already
  exists; committing on Y instead' line to stderr when checkout -b fails
  because the branch already exists. The regression test captures stderr via
  spawnSync and asserts the warning, so neither direction of the branching
  resolution is silent.
- Spec AC3 ('reuse normalizePhaseName/extractPhaseToken/stripProjectCodePrefix'):
  the token-acceptance guard now runs the candidate token through
  normalizePhaseName and accepts it only when it normalizes to a numeric phase
  form, rather than the brittle 'token !== phaseDir && /\d/.test(token)' check
  that leaned on extractPhaseToken's undocumented dirName fallback.
- Standards (Duplicated Code): hoist execFileSync/spawnSync requires to the top
  of the 'commit command' describe block instead of inlining them per test.

* fix(#2539): build phase-token shape from PHASE_NUMBER_TOKEN_SOURCE (#2128 guard)

The acceptance guard regex in detectPhaseNumberFromFiles was a hardcoded
`/^\d+[A-Z]?(?:\.\d+)*$/i` — a literal re-derivation of the canonical
phase-number grammar, which the #2128 phase-id drift guard
(tests/phase-id-drift-guard.test.cjs) rejects unless sanctioned with a
`// phase-id-owner:` marker. Build it from the single-owner
PHASE_NUMBER_TOKEN_SOURCE export instead, so this read-side acceptance check
cannot drift from every other phase-token reader. gsd-test reported this as
2 failures (linux-node22 + linux-node24) on the prior commit.

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.
