Behruz Nassre Esfahani 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).

GSD Core

Git. Ship. Done.

A light-weight meta-prompting, context engineering, and spec-driven development system for Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini 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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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 your first project:

/gsd-new-project

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.
