Tom Boucher 1e6737cd8e feat(plan-phase): --research-phase flag + scrub stale slash-command refs (#3042, #3044) (#3045)
* feat(plan-phase): --research-phase flag absorbs deleted /gsd-research-phase + scrub stale refs (#3042, #3044)

#3042 (orphaned research-phase): /gsd-research-phase had a workflow file
but no slash-command stub. Rather than restore the orphan, the research-
only capability is now a flag on /gsd-plan-phase:

  /gsd-plan-phase --research-phase <N>

When set, the workflow scopes to phase N, runs the research step (Section
5 of the existing plan-phase workflow), then early-exits before the
planner/plan-checker/verifier chain.

Per RCA against the deleted standalone, the flag adds two modifiers to
fully cover the original surface (Option B from the RCA discussion):

- --view : print existing RESEARCH.md to stdout, no spawn. Cheapest mode
  for the correction-without-replanning loop the issue reporter
  explicitly called out. Errors with a clear hint if RESEARCH.md is
  missing.
- --research : reuse the existing "force re-research" semantics. In
  research-only mode this skips the existing-RESEARCH.md prompt and
  re-spawns unconditionally.
- Neither flag, RESEARCH.md exists : prompt update/view/skip. Mirrors
  the deleted standalone's existing-artifact menu (#3042 RCA).

#3044 (stale slash-command refs): scrubbed five deleted commands from
all user-facing surfaces, including English docs, 4 localized doc sets
(ja-JP, ko-KR, zh-CN, pt-BR), workflows, templates, and references.

  /gsd-check-todos          → /gsd-capture --list
  /gsd-new-workspace        → /gsd-workspace --new
  /gsd-status               → /gsd-progress
  /gsd-plan-milestone-gaps  → table rows / orphan sections removed
                              (PR #3038 only scrubbed workflows/agent;
                              missed the docs surfaces this PR covers)
  /gsd-research-phase       → /gsd-plan-phase --research-phase

Includes a fix to docs/issue-driven-orchestration.md (PR #3036)
which itself referenced /gsd-new-workspace 4 times — self-correction.

Removed:
- get-shit-done/workflows/research-phase.md (orphan, capability
  absorbed into --research-phase flag)

Tests:
- tests/bug-3042-3044-research-flag-and-stale-refs.test.cjs — 46
  structural-IR tests across both bugs:
  - argument-hint advertises --research-phase + --view
  - workflow parses --research-phase, sets RESEARCH_ONLY,
    early-exits before planner
  - --view prints RESEARCH.md without spawning
  - --research forces refresh in research-only mode
  - existing-RESEARCH.md prompt path with update/view/skip
  - workflows/research-phase.md is removed
  - 5 deleted slash-commands absent from 17 English user-facing
    surfaces + 16 localized doc surfaces (4 locales × 4 docs each)
  - replacement command tokens present where deleted ones lived

6950/6950 full suite pass. Lints clean.

Closes #3042
Closes #3044

* fix: address all 8 CR findings on PR #3045

Major (3):
- get-shit-done/workflows/plan-phase.md:344 — added explicit early-exit
  guard at Section 5.1: "Skip if RESEARCH_ONLY=true". Without it, an LLM
  could fall through "use existing, skip to step 6" → planner spawn,
  violating the research-only contract. The guard makes the early-exit
  unreachable from any non-research-only branch.
- get-shit-done/references/continuation-format.md (3 examples) +
  zh-CN/.../continuation-format.md (3 examples) — pointed to
  `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase` but docs/COMMANDS.md didn't
  document the flag. Added a full --research-phase + --view + --research
  modifier section to the /gsd-plan-phase flag table in COMMANDS.md so
  the canonical reference matches the continuation examples.

Minor (5):
- docs/FEATURES.md:1632 — `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase` →
  `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase <N>` (include required arg).
- get-shit-done/templates/README.md:46 — NN-VALIDATION.md producer
  reverted from `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase` (Nyquist) to plain
  `/gsd-plan-phase` (Nyquist). VALIDATION.md is created during normal
  Nyquist flow, not research-only mode — the bulk replacement was
  wrong for that line.
- get-shit-done/workflows/help.md:89 — signature line was missing
  `--research`; added it alongside `--research-phase` and `--view`.
- tests/bug-3042-3044-...:197 — promptHasView/promptHasSkip were
  tautological (matched anywhere in 1700-line workflow). Tightened
  to a proximity check anchored on "RESEARCH.md already exists" prompt
  header within a 600-char window. Updated workflow to emit that
  literal phrase.
- tests/feat-2840-...:95 — workspace assertion used `/gsd-workspace`
  but the documented replacement is `/gsd-workspace --new`. Tightened
  to require both tokens (in 3 places: requiredCommands list, regex
  in conceptPairs, error message).

6950/6950 full suite pass. Lint clean.

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.

File Template Produced by Purpose
PROJECT.md project.md /gsd-new-project Project identity, goals, requirements summary
ROADMAP.md roadmap.md /gsd-new-milestone, /gsd-new-project Phase plan with milestones and progress tracking
STATE.md state.md /gsd-new-project, /gsd-health --repair Current session state, active phase, last activity
REQUIREMENTS.md requirements.md /gsd-new-milestone Functional requirements with traceability
MILESTONES.md milestone.md /gsd-complete-milestone Log of completed milestones with accomplishments
BACKLOG.md (inline) /gsd-add-backlog Pending ideas and deferred work
LEARNINGS.md (inline) /gsd-extract-learnings, /gsd-execute-phase Phase retrospective learnings for future plans
THREADS.md (inline) /gsd-thread Persistent discussion threads
config.json config.json /gsd-new-project, /gsd-health --repair Project-specific GSD configuration
CLAUDE.md claude-md.md /gsd-profile Auto-assembled Claude Code context file

Version-stamped artifacts (pattern: vX.Y-*.md)

Pattern Produced by Purpose
vX.Y-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md /gsd-audit-milestone Milestone audit report before archiving

These files are archived to .planning/milestones/ by /gsd-complete-milestone. Finding them at the .planning/ root after completion indicates the archive step was skipped.


Phase Subdirectory Artifacts (.planning/phases/NN-name/)

These files live inside a phase directory. They are NOT checked by W019 (which only inspects the .planning/ root).

File Pattern Template Produced by Purpose
NN-MM-PLAN.md phase-prompt.md /gsd-plan-phase Executable implementation plan
NN-MM-SUMMARY.md summary.md /gsd-execute-phase Post-execution summary with learnings
NN-CONTEXT.md context.md /gsd-discuss-phase Scoped discussion decisions for the phase
NN-RESEARCH.md research.md /gsd-plan-phase, /gsd-plan-phase --research-phase <N> Technical research for the phase
NN-VALIDATION.md VALIDATION.md /gsd-plan-phase (Nyquist) Validation architecture (Nyquist method)
NN-UAT.md UAT.md /gsd-validate-phase User acceptance test results
NN-PATTERNS.md (inline) /gsd-plan-phase (pattern mapper) Analog file mapping for the phase
NN-UI-SPEC.md UI-SPEC.md /gsd-ui-phase UI design contract
NN-SECURITY.md SECURITY.md /gsd-secure-phase Security threat model
NN-AI-SPEC.md AI-SPEC.md /gsd-ai-integration-phase AI integration spec with eval strategy
NN-DEBUG.md DEBUG.md /gsd-debug Debug session log
NN-REVIEWS.md (inline) /gsd-review Cross-AI review feedback

Milestone Archive (.planning/milestones/)

Files archived by /gsd-complete-milestone. These are never checked by W019.

File Pattern Source
vX.Y-ROADMAP.md Snapshot of ROADMAP.md at milestone close
vX.Y-REQUIREMENTS.md Snapshot of REQUIREMENTS.md at milestone close
vX.Y-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md Moved from .planning/ root
vX.Y-phases/ Archived phase directories (if --archive-phases used)

Adding a New Canonical Artifact

When a new workflow produces a .planning/ root file:

  1. Add the file name to CANONICAL_EXACT in get-shit-done/bin/lib/artifacts.cjs
  2. Add a row to the .planning/ Root Artifacts table above
  3. Add the template to get-shit-done/templates/ if one exists
