* fix(#3206): define "explicit evidence" inline at verifier 5b; repair stale honest-verifier cites
Step 3 item 5b abstained on non-inferable (backstop) truths "unless
confirmed by explicit evidence" with the term undefined — its definition
lived only in the non-included gsd-core/references/honest-verifier.md,
behind a stale bare `references/` cite that 404s. Undefined, the term
falls back to presence + wiring, the exact false-pass the #1154
abstention protocol refuses.
- 5b: inline the compressed definition (a passing wired
held-out/property-based test or directly observed behavior; presence +
wiring never qualifies) and fix the cite. +84 B on the rewritten line;
file lands at 49,151 of the 49,152 LARGE cap.
- verifier-phase-gates.md (already <required_reading>): gains the
backstop-abstention reporting contract — AFK completion line
("complete with N unverified non-inferable checks", never silent,
never a halt) and reason-distinctness (insufficient_spec vs manual-UAT
human_needed). New content, no relocation of measured prose.
- 5c (line 204) and MVP-mode (line 644) bare cites repaired to
gsd-core/references/ (+9 B each).
- Drift acks per ADR-2719 §4; two entries merge-appended into existing
fragments (two ack sources may never name the same path).
- Changeset fragment with the sanctioned pr: 0 placeholder (post-create
backfill).
Sibling census at next@7976b1ca0: 7 bare-cite instances in 4 agent
files; the 3 in gsd-verifier.md are fixed here, gsd-executor.md:429,439
and gsd-doc-synthesizer.md:20,176 stay with the epic #1891 follow-up.
Refs #1891
* chore(#3206): set changeset fragment pr to 3435
* fix(#3206): drop stale emitted-drift-ack entries that trip the ADR-2719 ratchet
The round's ack bookkeeping explained ripples that were already
self-attributed, so `tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs` failed
deterministically on the PR head with 5 stale acknowledgments.
`agents/gsd-verifier.md` and `gsd-core/references/verifier-phase-gates.md`
appear directly in `git diff --name-only`, so PROVENANCE_RULES attributes
their emitted deltas without an ack; `agents/gsd-verifier.agent.md`,
`agents/gsd-verifier.toml` and `agents/subagents/gsd-verifier.md` are
derived emissions of a changed source and are attributed the same way.
None of the five entries could ever be consumed, so all five were stale.
Removed: the whole `3206-verifier-explicit-evidence.json` fragment (all
four entries) and the `#3206 append` to `0000-legacy-migration.json`.
Deliberately KEPT: the `#3206 append` to
`1955-verifier-coincidental-reliance.json`. Its `gsd-verifier.md` entry is
consumed by the size-growth ratchet, not the hash pass — the agent grew
49049 -> 49151 bytes, and `diffEmitted` treats a base-identical ack as
spent and excludes it from `ackEntries`. Reverting that append as well
turns the stale-ack failure into `1 file(s) grew without an
acknowledgment` (verified both ways locally).
* fix(#3206): compress 5b and re-acknowledge growth after rebase onto next
The rebase onto next (159145435, PR #3558) invalidated two things at once:
- #3558 grew agents/gsd-verifier.md to 49,098 bytes, leaving 54 bytes of
LARGE-cap headroom where this PR's +102 no longer fits. Compressed the
5b rewrite to +34 net by dropping the trailing honest-verifier cite —
superseded by the now-inline definition; honest-verifier.md stays
cited at the adjacent 5c line. File lands at 49,150 (2 under the cap).
- #3558 deleted tests/emitted-drift-acks/1955-verifier-coincidental-
reliance.json, which carried this PR's growth acknowledgment, and its
own 3409 fragment now names gsd-verifier.md. Re-homed the #3206 growth
ack as an append to that entry (two ack sources may never name the
same path).
The changeset is updated to match: two bare references/ cites repaired
(5c honest-verifier.md, MVP-mode verify-mvp-mode.md), the third (5b's)
superseded by the inline definition rather than repaired.
Reversion controls: restoring the uncompressed 5b fails
agent-size-budget.test.cjs (LARGE hard cap); reverting the ack append
fails emitted-attribution.test.cjs (differential attribution over the
real tree, GSD_EMITTED_BASE=upstream/next). Both re-verified green at
this tree: 213/213 (size + attribution), 992/992 across the 14 suites
reading the touched files.
