* feat(#1681): ADR-1239 Phase C-2 — external-descriptor trust gate (configHome confinement) [slice 1] Phase 4 slice 1. Load-time, fail-closed configHome write-confinement for installed third-party host-plugin descriptors — defense-in-depth on top of the existing opt-in/schema/consent/first-party-wins loader gates + Phase 2's install-time assertDestWithinConfigHome (#1679 AC3). - src/external-descriptor-trust.cts: isPathConfined(target, root) pure cross-platform containment primitive + assertDescriptorConfined(descriptor, configHome) — walks runtime.artifactLayout global/local destSubpaths, throws fail-closed (naming descriptor + path) on the first escape. Rejects ../escape + absolute-outside-root. Missing layout / invalid entries skipped. - tests/external-descriptor-confinement.test.cjs: 7 tests (containment primitive, benign passes, global/local/absolute escapes rejected, missing layout, invalid entries). Load-time twin of Phase 2's install-time gate — rejects malformed/escaping descriptors BEFORE consent even matters. NOT wired into loadRegistry yet (slice 2, 4 callers, medium blast radius); this ships the reusable gate + tests. Not the ADR-1577 prompt-injection breaker (separate concern, shared word trust). Proactive CI gates: ADR-457 ignores + INVENTORY-MANIFEST + injection-scan audit. All clean locally (7 tests + security + inventory + eslint 0 problems). * chore(changeset): add Changed fragment for external-descriptor trust gate (#1681)
Changeset Fragments
This directory holds per-PR CHANGELOG fragments. Every PR with user-facing changes drops one (or more) <random-name>.md files here describing its CHANGELOG entry. Fragments are consolidated into the top-level CHANGELOG.md at release time.
Why
Two PRs that both edit the ### Fixed block of CHANGELOG.md always conflict on merge — git can't pick a serialization order without human input. Two PRs that each add a fresh .changeset/<unique-name>.md never conflict because they don't share lines.
See #2975 for the full rationale.
Adding a fragment
node scripts/changeset/new.cjs \
--type Fixed \
--pr 1234 \
--body "fix the thing — explain the user-visible change in one sentence"
This writes .changeset/<adjective>-<noun>-<noun>.md with frontmatter and a body. Three random words → concurrent PRs don't collide.
Format
---
type: Fixed
pr: 1234
---
**`/gsd-foo` no longer drops trailing slashes** — explain the user-visible change.
Allowed type: values follow Keep a Changelog: Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security.
Opting out
PRs that legitimately have no user-facing impact can add the no-changelog label. CI honors it. When unsure, add the fragment.
At release time
Promotion is automatic. The release workflow's finalize job runs:
node scripts/changeset/cli.cjs render --version vX.Y.Z --date YYYY-MM-DD --allow-empty
This reads every fragment, groups bullets by type:, replaces ## [Unreleased] with a new ## [vX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD block, opens a fresh ## [Unreleased] above, and deletes consumed fragments. The --allow-empty flag ensures a no-change release still gets a dated heading (with a _No notable changes._ placeholder). A subsequent verify step confirms the promotion landed correctly. Maintainers do not run this by hand.
Archived fragments
.changeset/archived/ holds fragments for already-shipped releases (≤ 1.3.1), retained for provenance. Their content was hand-curated into the dated ## [1.x.y] sections of CHANGELOG.md during the #690 backfill — they were never consumed by render. All changeset tooling enumerates .changeset/ non-recursively, so archived fragments are never picked up or rendered. Do not move them back to the top level.
