Tom Boucher 31edeb1b54 feat(#717): re-base workflow size budget on bytes + document quality rationale (#719)
* feat(#717): re-base workflow size budget on bytes + document quality rationale

Re-base tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs from line counts to byte
counts (matches Codex's 32,768-byte project_doc_max_bytes cap; deterministic,
no tokenizer). Tier ceilings: XL=90000, LARGE=54000, DEFAULT=38000, GRACE=3000;
discuss-phase target re-expressed as <30 KB. The #597 tighten-only ratchet and
per-file budget semantics are preserved unchanged — only the unit swaps.

byteCount() uses fs.statSync().size to match `wc -c` (includes trailing
newline), deliberately not lineCount()'s newline-stripping.

Document the context-rot / attention-budget QUALITY rationale (independent of
prompt caching) in the test JSDoc and docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, plus the
Goodhart caveat: the byte budget measures one file, so the real goal is
bounded *loaded* context — eager @-imports game the proxy; legitimate
extraction is lazy. Update CONTEXT.md RULESET.WORKFLOW_SIZE_BUDGET to bytes and
remove a stale duplicate ruleset entry that still said "1800 lines".

Defers the #3182 MVP-mode split (tracked separately): MVP is a cross-cutting
concern woven through plan-phase/execute-phase, not a discrete extractable mode.

Closes #717

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.
