Tom Boucher 41f91b2e88 feat(#769): adopt context:fork + effort on heavy workflow skills (#820)
* feat(#769): emit context:fork + effort: frontmatter on heavy workflow skills

Add `context: fork` and `effort: xhigh` to the three heaviest workflow
commands (plan-phase, execute-phase, autonomous) and `effort: low` to the
two quick-status commands (progress, stats).

On Claude Code, `context: fork` runs the skill in an isolated subagent
context window so the main session's context budget is protected.
`effort: xhigh` / `effort: low` signal the appropriate token-budget tier to
the runtime. Both fields are silently ignored by runtimes that do not
recognise them (Gemini, Codex, Cursor, etc.) — no behaviour change outside
Claude Code.

Update convertClaudeCommandToClaudeSkill in bin/install.js to preserve
`context:` and `effort:` when rewriting source command files to SKILL.md for
a Claude global install. Add install-suite tests to assert the fields are
present in both source commands and the installed SKILL.md output.

* test(#769): tighten regex assertions + add execute/plan-phase effort coverage

Fix low-severity adversarial finding: tighten test regex patterns from
`\s*` to `[ \t]*` so they cannot match across newlines (CRLF parity).
Add missing effort: xhigh assertions for gsd-execute-phase and gsd-plan-phase
SKILL.md install output to complete the black-box coverage gap.

Execute all plans in a phase using wave-based parallel execution.

Orchestrator stays lean: discover plans, analyze dependencies, group into waves, spawn subagents, collect results. Each subagent loads the full execute-plan context and handles its own plan.

Optional wave filter:

  • --wave N executes only Wave N for pacing, quota management, or staged rollout
  • phase verification/completion still only happens when no incomplete plans remain after the selected wave finishes

Flag handling rule:

  • The optional flags documented below are available behaviors, not implied active behaviors
  • A flag is active only when its literal token appears in $ARGUMENTS
  • If a documented flag is absent from $ARGUMENTS, treat it as inactive

Context budget: ~15% orchestrator, 100% fresh per subagent.

<runtime_note> Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent — vscode_askquestions is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API. </runtime_note>

Phase: $ARGUMENTS

Available optional flags (documentation only — not automatically active):

  • --wave N — Execute only Wave N in the phase. Use when you want to pace execution or stay inside usage limits.
  • --gaps-only — Execute only gap closure plans (plans with gap_closure: true in frontmatter). Use after verify-work creates fix plans.
  • --interactive — Execute plans sequentially inline (no subagents) with user checkpoints between tasks. Lower token usage, pair-programming style. Best for small phases, bug fixes, and verification gaps.

Active flags must be derived from $ARGUMENTS:

  • --wave N is active only if the literal --wave token is present in $ARGUMENTS
  • --gaps-only is active only if the literal --gaps-only token is present in $ARGUMENTS
  • --interactive is active only if the literal --interactive token is present in $ARGUMENTS
  • If none of these tokens appear, run the standard full-phase execution flow with no flag-specific filtering
  • Do not infer that a flag is active just because it is documented in this prompt

Context files are resolved inside the workflow via gsd-tools query init.execute-phase and per-subagent <files_to_read> blocks.

Execute end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (wave execution, checkpoint handling, verification, state updates, routing).
