* enhance(#4377): opt-in project-relative includes for local installs A local install wrote the includes that point at GSD's own files as absolute paths — whatever the installer resolved at install time. For one checkout that is invisible. Across git worktrees it is not: each worktree gets its own .claude/ copy, but all of them point back at the checkout that ran the installer, so a worktree runs its own gsd-tools.cjs while reading workflow prose from a different checkout. Update that one checkout and every other worktree is running new instructions against an old engine, with nothing to stage the update with. --relative-includes (or GSD_RELATIVE_INCLUDES=1) makes a local install emit `@.claude/gsd-core/...`. Opt-in, and staying opt-in: absolute works for a single checkout, which is most people, and flipping the default would change every existing local install to solve a problem those users do not have. The prefix is the runtime's own localConfigDir descriptor value, never a literal — the same value resolveScope joins onto the cwd to produce the install target, and the same one the rewrite engine already uses for its ./.claude/ -> ./<dir>/ substitutions. Copilot and Antigravity have shipped this shape for local installs since they were added, with hardcoded .github/ and .agents/; this is that behavior, derived rather than written down. Six seams compute a path prefix and all six had to be threaded, which is why the opt-in travels through the environment the way --portable-hooks already does: one variable they all read cannot fall out of sync the way six signatures can. The launcher shim deliberately keeps its ABSOLUTE fallbacks. It probes gsd-tools through ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude} and one such default per runtime; those are shell word expansions, not includes, and a relative value there resolves against the shell's cwd rather than the project. Trading an include that points at the wrong checkout for a path that points at nothing is not a fix. All three rewrite paths mask ${VAR:-default} spans before substituting and restore them after, and the mask only runs when the prefix is relative, so an absolute install is byte-for-byte unchanged. Every unexpressible case falls back to absolute: no opt-in, a global install, a missing dir name, the configHome.kind === 'none' sentinel, an absolute descriptor value, or one climbing out of the project with '..'. * chore(#4377): add changeset for project-relative local includes * fix(#4377): compare against POSIX-normalized roots in the install e2e arms The emitted prefix is POSIX-normalized by design — it is substituted into markdown @-references, which use forward slashes universally, so a backslash would leak into shipped content (#1615). The e2e arms compared against the raw temp root, which on Windows is `D:\a\...` and appears in no emitted file. That reddened the control arm on the windows shard, and it was worse than a red: the negative arm ("nothing references the checkout") was passing VACUOUSLY there, because a string that cannot occur is trivially absent. Both now go through the same normalization, so the Windows lane asserts what the Linux lane does. * fix(#4377): tolerate a resolved temp root, and make the e2e diff self-diagnosing Two changes, one confirmed and one to stop guessing. Confirmed: the emitted content carries the RESOLVED root, not the spelling mkdtemp handed back. Reproduced on Linux with a symlinked install root — 236 emitted files carry the realpath, zero carry the link path. macOS has this structurally, since /var is a symlink to /private/var. Comparisons now go through both spellings, or the negative arms pass vacuously: "nothing references the checkout" is trivially true when the string being searched for cannot occur. Not confirmed: the macOS shard reported ~every workflow file differing in the "differ ONLY" arm while the five arms around it passed, and the assertion printed a list of filenames — which says a difference exists somewhere across 236 files and leaves the reader to guess which bytes. I cannot reproduce that platform locally, and guessing turns one CI round-trip into four. The assertion now reports the first divergence as text: the file, the byte offset, and a bounded window of both sides. * fix(#4377): strip the longest root spelling first in the install e2e diff The macOS failure was my test corrupting its own comparison, not a product defect. /var/folders/…/X is a SUBSTRING of /private/var/folders/…/X, so stripping the unresolved spelling first matched inside the resolved one and left the /private prefix glued to what followed: @/private/var/…/X/.claude/gsd-core/… -> @/private.claude/gsd-core/… a string present in neither install, which is why all 236 files "differed". Sorting the spellings longest-first consumes the whole occurrence, and the short form then has nothing left to match. Proven in isolation on the exact macOS shapes: short-first yields @/private.claude/…, longest-first yields @.claude/…. The self-diagnosing assertion added in the previous commit is what found this — it named the file, the byte offset, and printed both sides, so the corrupted string was visible rather than inferred from a list of 236 filenames. Keeping it. * fix(#4377): address review findings * test(#4377): scan nested shell defaults without regex backtracking * fix(#4377): close relative include review gaps * fix(#4377): preserve root-target runtime includes * fix(#4377): guard project-root relative includes * test(#4377): normalize Cline fallback roots * fix(#4377): persist relative include style --------- Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>
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.

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.
