* test(#1958): add failing-first guardrail contract tests Epic #1957 Phase 1A. Adds source-text-is-the-product tests asserting the 5-signal fix-acceptance guardrail contract (target test, mutation check, no-op/deletion detector, adjacent tests, revert-and-reconfirm), graceful degradation, FIX REJECTED BY GUARDRAIL return path, per-signal debug-file recording, and subprocess bounding. Failing-first: reference file and agent sections do not yet exist. * feat(#1958): add multi-signal fix-acceptance guardrail to gsd-debugger Epic #1957 Phase 1A. Prevents accepting a fix that merely greens the test (Goodhart defense / APR overfitting). Adds a 5-signal gate run before fix acceptance: target test, mutation check (Stryker), no-op/behavior-deleting detector, adjacent/held-out tests, revert-and-reconfirm. Degrades gracefully when Stryker or a test suite is absent (each skip logged, never a silent pass), records per-signal results under Resolution.verification, and returns a FIX REJECTED BY GUARDRAIL outcome the session-manager surfaces for revise / accept-as-debt / abandon. Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/debugger-fix-acceptance.md (slim routing kept in the agent to respect the agent-size cap). Debug template + INVENTORY + manifest + agent-size baseline + AGENTS.md updated. * test(#1958): correct newline-tolerant assertion + regen install-parity goldens The revert-and-reconfirm assertion collapsed whitespace before matching so markdown line-wrapping does not break it. Regenerated the golden-install-parity and install-tree fixtures (npm run gen:golden) to absorb the intentional gsd-debugger.md / gsd-debug-session-manager.md / DEBUG.md / new reference-file changes to the installed artifact tree. * fix(#1958): tighten guardrail per orthogonal review Addresses the isolated reviewer's findings: - signal 5 now states its recorded-repro dependency and routes the no-repro case to the degradation row; revert mechanism specified (git stash / git revert -n); minimality flag tied to diff structure, not revert-ability. - bounded-subprocesses section now bounds the git subprocess (5-30s) too, requires argv-array argument passing, and scopes Stryker to the driving regression test (a mutant killed only by a non-driving test is a finding). - new test-provenance (security) clause: the driving test must be agent-authored; bug-report repro scripts are DATA, never executed verbatim. - tightened 3 contract assertions to bind to specific clauses (guardrail_verdict field, deletion-reject-unless-RCA, 60s+git bounding). - Goodhart framing softened to 'partially-independent'; DEBUG.md template verification field notes the nested map shape. * chore(#1958): backfill changeset pr number (PR #2396) * fix(#1958): add issue ref to allow-test-rule annotation (ADR-456) CI lint-allow-test-rule-refs requires every allow-test-rule exemption to carry a 'see #NNN' issue ref per ADR-456. The new test file's annotation lacked it; this adds (see #1958).
GSD Canonical Artifact Registry
This directory contains the template files for every artifact that GSD workflows officially produce. The table below is the authoritative index: if a .planning/ root file is not listed here, gsd-health will flag it as W019 (unrecognized artifact).
Agents should query this file before treating a .planning/ file as authoritative. If the file name does not appear below, it is not a canonical GSD artifact.
.planning/ Root Artifacts
These files live directly at .planning/ — not inside phase subdirectories.

Adding a New Canonical Artifact
When a new workflow produces a .planning/ root file:
- Add the file name to
CANONICAL_EXACTingsd-core/bin/lib/artifacts.cjs - Add a row to the
.planning/Root Artifacts table above - Add the template to
gsd-core/templates/if one exists
