* fix(#2526): drop gsd-ui-auditor's uncallable Playwright-MCP block The agent declares `tools: Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob, Skill` — no `mcp__*` grant of any kind — while its body presented a `<playwright_mcp_approach>` block as the *preferred* capture path. That branch was unreachable by construction: the availability check had a fixed answer, the three `mcp__playwright__*` calls could never dispatch, and the "when Playwright-MCP is NOT available" fallback was the only branch that ever ran — 39 lines of instruction loaded on every /gsd-ui-review spawn that also invited the model to claim a capture path it could not take. Remove the dead block, leaving the CLI screenshot path as the sole documented approach. Guard the class in tests/mcp-tool-inheritance.test.cjs, which already owns agent MCP-grant parity: the new block generalizes the #1284 researcher check from two agents and one dispatch table to every agents/*.md and its whole body — no agent may document an `mcp__<server>__*` namespace absent from its own `tools:` declaration. Frontmatter is read through the canonical parser (gsd-core/bin/lib/frontmatter.cjs) rather than a hand-rolled scan, so inline CSV, block sequences, flow arrays, quoted scalars and full-line comments are handled by construction; inline comments inside a scalar survive that parser, so they are stripped explicitly. The check is server-level by design, ignores prose metavariables like `mcp__X__*`, matches hyphenated server ids, and carries a discovery guard plus negative controls for every documented boundary so it cannot decay into a vacuous pass. The session-level Playwright-MCP pass in gsd-core/workflows/ui-review.md is deliberately untouched — workflow files carry no fixed allowlist, so their availability check is genuinely runtime-detected and honest. Fixes #2526 * chore(#2526): set changeset fragment pr to 2594 The fragment shipped with the documented `pr: 0` placeholder because the PR number does not exist until the PR is opened, and scripts/changeset/parse.cjs rejects `pr <= 0`. Now that the PR is open, set the real number so changeset-lint passes. * test(#2526): cover the two-char server-id boundary of the metavariable exclusion The length-1 "prose metavariable" exclusion was tested at length=1 and at real ids (>=3 chars), but never at length=2 — the limit+1 boundary where a server id starts being recognized. Review finding on #2594: `mcp__ab__foo` in a body with no grant must flag `['ab']`. * fix(#2526): treat a bare mcp__* grant as covering every server `grantedServers()` stripped `mcp__*` to the empty string and dropped it via `if (server)`, so an allowlist that grants every MCP server read as granting none — and the guard then fired against a body the grant plainly covered. That is the one input shape that inverts the check, turning it against a correct agent rather than merely missing a bad one. A `/^mcp__\*+$/` token now sets a GRANT_ALL sentinel that short-circuits `ungrantedServers()`. The sentinel `*` is outside REFERENCE_RE's character class, so no body reference can collide with it. A bare `mcp__` with no wildcard stays a typo rather than a grant and keeps failing closed. No agent uses the `mcp__*` spelling today, so this was latent rather than live. Two negative controls pin both halves. * fix(#2526): scan the frontmatter description for MCP references too `ungrantedServers()` scanned `stripFrontmatter(content)` only, so an `mcp__foo__bar` reference in the `description` field escaped the check. That field ships with the agent and the dispatcher reads it, which makes a dead reference there exactly as dead as one in the body. Only `description` is added to the scanned surface, never the whole frontmatter: `tools:` is the grant list itself, so scanning it would let every allowlist satisfy itself and turn the guard vacuous. A negative control pins that boundary alongside the new positive case. All 34 per-agent tests still pass with the wider surface, so no live agent verdict changes — this was latent. * test(#2526): give multi-character placeholders a convention the checker knows The metavariable exclusion is `length === 1`, so the natural placeholders `mcp__SRV__*` and `mcp__SERVER__*` were flagged as real references — and the failure message then offered an author two remedies ("grant the namespace or drop the block") that both misread what they wrote. Adopts the angle-bracket half of the suggested fix: `mcp__<SERVER>__*` is the sanctioned multi-character placeholder, exempt by construction because `<` is outside the reference pattern's character class. This pins an existing property rather than adding a special case. Declines the all-caps half. An all-caps exemption would be a false NEGATIVE for any real server spelled in caps, and a guard that misses a dead reference fails in exactly the direction this check exists to prevent. The bare-caps form keeps firing; the message now names the convention as a third remedy. Also corrects "grants neither" in that message, which was wrong for any count other than two. * test(#2526): pin the zero-length server id, completing the boundary triple `mcp____foo` yields `[]`, but for a different reason than the length-1 case: it is unrepresentable by `/mcp__([A-Za-z0-9_-]+?)__/g` since `+?` requires at least one character, so the pattern skips it before the metavariable exclusion is ever consulted. Pinning limit-1 completes the 0/1/2 boundary rule on its own terms and records which mechanism owns the case. * docs(#2526): correct every drifted AGENTS.md Tools row, not just the one The review asked for the one-line `gsd-ui-auditor` correction (missing `Skill`). Sweeping the defect class first — every `**Tools**` row in docs/AGENTS.md against its agent's `tools:` frontmatter — found it was 26 of 34 rows, so the one-line framing was the reviewer's premise rather than the population. Breakdown of the 26: * 21 omitted `Skill`, 6 omitted `Edit` (overlapping) — under-promises, the same drift class as #2526 but in the harmless direction. * 8 wrote `mcp (context7)` as shorthand while frontmatter granted up to 8 servers (firecrawl, exa, tavily, ref, jina, perplexity, both context7s). * 1 was actively wrong: gsd-debug-session-manager documented `Task`, a tool name that no longer exists — the #2526 shape at the doc layer, naming a capability that cannot dispatch. Every row is now the frontmatter `tools:` value verbatim, which is also what makes the parity guard in the following commit non-brittle. The diff is 26 insertions / 26 deletions, all Tools rows. * test(#2526): guard AGENTS.md Tools rows against agent frontmatter The 26 corrected rows in the previous commit were free to drift because nothing asserted the role card and the frontmatter agreed — the same reason the #2526 block itself survived. Correcting them without an invariant just resets the clock. Lands in agent-classification-parity.test.cjs rather than a new file: that suite already owns docs/AGENTS.md as a contract surface, already carries the `allow-test-rule` exemption for treating the doc as the product, and file count is the unit of CI overhead (docs/TESTING-SUITES.md). Compares the row to the frontmatter value VERBATIM, not as a set — a set comparison would keep accepting the "mcp (context7)" shorthand that hid eight grants behind one, which is the under-documentation half of the drift. Carries the same discovery guard #2526's own check uses: a section with a granted `tools:` but no **Tools** row fails loudly, so deleting a row cannot silently retire its assertion. Both halves are negative-controlled — against the pre-fix doc it fails naming 26 rows (gsd-ui-auditor:339 among them), and with a row deleted it fails on the missing-row assertion. * chore(#2526): note the AGENTS.md drift correction in the changeset The role cards are user-visible, and 26 of them documented a tool set the agent did not have. Type, `pr: 2594`, and the trailing `(#2526)` are unchanged. * fix(#2526): use a CRLF-safe split in the AGENTS.md Tools-row guard `lint-tests` (npm run lint:ci) rejected `rawAgentsMd.split('\n')` under the repo's local/no-crlf-fragile-split rule: Windows autocrlf yields CRLF, so a trailing \r rides into the parsed line. Switched to `/\r?\n/`. Caught by CI on the round-3 push before the response comment went out. * docs(#2526): correct the drift tallies stated in c5a9607e Re-derived the census programmatically from the pre-fix doc instead of by eye. The 26-of-34 headline was right; the breakdown was not. Skill omitted 21 -> 22 Edit omitted 6 -> 7 "mcp (context7)" shorthand 8 rows -> 7 rows The 8 was conflating two things: 8 rows omitted MCP grants entirely, but only 7 of them used the "mcp (context7)" shorthand — gsd-executor listed no MCP at all. Also names the one `Agent` omission (gsd-debug-session-manager, the row that still read `Task`). c5a9607e's message keeps the wrong numbers rather than rewriting a pushed branch mid-review; the test comment and changeset are the durable statements and both are corrected here. --------- 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.
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.
