Tom Boucher 2cefa5a5ac enhance(#4139): Phase 8 — the toggle becomes discoverable, and the ledger closes (#4587)
* enhance(#4139): Phase 8 — the toggle becomes discoverable, and the ledger closes

ADR-4139's final phase. workflow.compact_content already defaulted to false
(Phase 1's buildNewProjectConfig hardcoded default), but nothing surfaced it:
/gsd-new-project never asked, and /gsd-settings/config had no toggle path for
an already-initialized project — config-set/config-get were the only route.

new-project.md gains a fourth question in the existing Round 2 AskUserQuestion
array (grouped with the other general-workflow-behavior toggles, not the
per-agent capability questions above it) and threads compact_content into the
config-new-project CLI JSON literal. settings.md mirrors the exact pattern
every other non-capability workflow.* key already follows: read_current bullet,
question block, update_config write, the safe-merge non-capability-keys list,
save_as_defaults, and the confirm summary table — seven edits, zero new
src/*.cts code, since Phase 1's merge logic is a generic passthrough. Its
success_criteria question-count ("24 settings") is bumped to 25 to match the
now-25-entry main AskUserQuestion batch.

settings-advanced.md deliberately does NOT get a duplicate question: no other
boolean toggle in this repo is asked in both settings.md and
settings-advanced.md, and there's no reason to start with this one.

docs/CONFIGURATION.md, docs/USER-GUIDE.md, and a new docs/features/4139-compact-
content.md fragment (regenerated into docs/FEATURES.md) document the toggle.

ADR-4139 itself: Status flips Proposed -> Accepted, the acceptance-criteria
section becomes a guard ledger — a 13-row table covering all 12 of #4139's
original checkboxes plus the shipped-content guard criterion, each with real
evidence (the merged PR that satisfied it, fetched via `gh issue view
--json closedByPullRequestsReferences` rather than asserted from phase
numbers) — and both "Open questions for the implementation phases" are
resolved rather than left dangling: discuss-phase was never converted to
spine+detail shape (verified: no detail/ subdir exists) — a genuine gap, not a
reasoned decline; the disjointness check is confirmed line-based by reading
compact-content-split.cjs's normalizeNonTrivialLines directly.

Orthogonal review (isolated Standards/Spec code-review + security-review
sub-agents) found and this fixes two real defects: the changeset fragment's
body didn't match CONTRIBUTING.md's single em-dash-sentence format (was
multi-sentence prose naming implementation file paths); and settings.md's own
success_criteria still said "24 settings" after the new question pushed the
main batch to 25. Also fixed, found by the Spec pass while confirming
commands/gsd/settings.md correctly needed no sync edit: that file and its
skills/gsd-settings/SKILL.md twin both still described "Interactive 5-question
prompt (model, research, plan_check, verifier, branching)", stale since long
before this phase (the batch has had far more than 5 questions for a while) —
replaced with a description that names the current set without hardcoding a
count that will drift again.

gsd-test (real run, sha 1da78fe2) caught a third real regression the local
sweep missed: new-project.md is a registered spine+detail split for Phase 4's
token-reduction benchmark (scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs), and the new
question's +167 tokens drifted the committed baseline
(tests/fixtures/compact-content-benchmark-baseline.json). The benchmark itself
is designed never to fail CI on drift, but the test asserting the COMMITTED
baseline is currently non-drifted correctly caught it. Regenerated via
`node scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs --write`; re-verified --check now
reports "up to date" and the test file passes 27/27.

Closes #4408.
Closes #4139.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: new-project.md — new 4th Round-2 AskUserQuestion entry (Compact Content, #4139) plus the config-new-project CLI JSON field and explanatory sentence; a new opt-in toggle needs new prose.
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: settings.md — new workflow.compact_content read_current bullet, question block, update_config write, safe-merge key, save_as_defaults field, and confirm summary row (the same seven-edit pattern every other non-capability workflow.* toggle already follows), plus the 24->25 success_criteria count fix found in review.

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.
