Tom Boucher 463cffd894 chore(#604): rename get-shit-done/ runtime directory to gsd-core/ (#615)
* chore(#604): rename get-shit-done/ runtime directory to gsd-core/

Renames the installed runtime directory `get-shit-done/` to `gsd-core/` so the
on-disk name matches the package (`@opengsd/gsd-core`), repo, and binary
(`gsd-tools`). The npm package name and binary are unchanged; npx/npm consumers
are unaffected.

Mechanical (bulk, ~90% of the diff):
- `git mv get-shit-done gsd-core`
- Swept path/identifier references across the repo via
  `perl -pe 's/get-shit-done(?!-\w)/gsd-core/g'`. The negative lookahead
  preserves the five legitimate slug variants that are NOT the directory:
  get-shit-done-{OLD,cc,classic,cli,redux} (old package/repo names).
- Build/manifest wiring: package.json (bin, files, coverage globs),
  tsconfig.build.json (outDir), ~86 .gitignore build-output entries,
  stryker.config.mjs, scan-ignore files, install.js path strings.
- Frozen (not rewritten): CHANGELOG.md history; translated docs
  (README.<locale>.md and docs/{ja-JP,ko-KR,pt-BR,zh-CN}/).

New logic (review here):
- src/installer-migrations/003-rename-get-shit-done-to-gsd-core.cts: a proper
  ADR-0008 installer migration. On upgrade it walks the legacy
  `~/.claude/get-shit-done/` tree, classifies each file via the prior install
  manifest, and emits remove-managed / backup-and-remove for managed files
  while PRESERVING unknown user-added files. Symlink-safe (skips a symlinked
  root and symlinked entries; bounds-checks every path under configDir). The
  framework rolls back on install failure. Emptied dirs may remain (framework
  has no recursive dir-removal primitive) — documented.
- scripts/lint-legacy-dir-name.cjs: CI regression guard forbidding the bare
  `get-shit-done` directory token (split token to avoid self-match; case-
  insensitive; `(?!-\w)` lookahead allows the slug variants; allowlists
  CHANGELOG, translated docs, and `gsd-allow-legacy-name` marker lines).
  Wired into the lint-tests CI job.
- Restored scripts/lint-package-identity-drift.cjs detection regexes (the
  mechanical sweep had wrongly rewritten the old-name patterns it exists to
  detect) and marked them as intentional legacy references.
- TDD tests for the migration and the guard; do.md slash-command guard regex
  tightened so a `/gsd-core/bin` path segment is not mistaken for a command;
  changeset + docs/installer-migrations.md row added.

Breaking: the installed runtime path moves `~/.claude/get-shit-done/` ->
`~/.claude/gsd-core/`. Migration 003 removes the stale legacy dir's managed
files (preserving user files) on upgrade. Users with custom hooks/configs
hardcoding the old path must update them.

Closes #604

* fix(#604): unsweep pending changesets + allowlist injection-example docs

CI fixes for the rename PR:
- Do not sweep pending .changeset/*.md (ephemeral release-note fragments,
  like CHANGELOG); reverted those body edits so 5 pre-existing malformed
  fragments (missing type/pr) no longer enter the PR diff and trip docs-lint.
  Allowlisted .changeset/ in the legacy-name guard accordingly.
- Allowlisted TEST-EXAMPLES.md and docs/explanation/security-model.md in
  prompt-injection-scan.sh: they contain intentional injection examples /
  security-model prose; the path-reference rewrites are kept.

CodeQL alerts on this PR are pre-existing (alert lines unchanged by this PR;
none in the new migration/guard) and are out of scope for the rename.

* fix(#604): resolve CodeQL alerts surfaced on this PR

The rename diff touched files carrying pre-existing CodeQL findings; per the
no-pre-existing-dismissal rule, fixing every surfaced alert rather than waving
them off. All behavior-preserving:

- scripts/ci-test-scope.cjs: build the config-path match from string
  .includes() instead of a RegExp over an arg-derived value (js/regex-injection).
- src/profile-output.cts: escape backslashes before pipe-escaping desc/safeName
  so the table-cell escape is complete (js/incomplete-sanitization).
- tests/{bug-2643,bug-2808,docs-parity-live-registry}: two-pass HTML-comment
  strip so a bare/unclosed `<!--` cannot survive (js/incomplete-multi-character-sanitization).
- tests/inline-plan-threshold: drop the no-op `\s`->`\s` identity replace,
  keep the meaningful POSIX-class conversion (js/identity-replacement).

Verified: build:lib green; the touched test files + ci-test-scope + profile-output
suites pass; lint:legacy-name clean.

* fix(#604): correctly resolve remaining CodeQL alerts (regex-injection + sanitization)

The prior commit's fixes for two alerts were ineffective:
- ci-test-scope.cjs js/regex-injection: the alert is the CLI-arg-derived `file`
  reaching static regex `.test(file)` calls (not the config rule). Removed ALL
  regex over file/t — startsWith/includes/=== string checks + an isWindowsHint
  helper — so there is no regex sink for the tainted value.
- js/incomplete-multi-character-sanitization (3 test files): a single
  `.replace(/<!--...-->/g,'')` can let `<!--` re-form. Replaced with a fixpoint
  loop (replace until stable) plus a final bare-opener strip.

Verified: no regex over file/t remains; ci-test-scope + the 3 test suites pass;
lint:legacy-name clean.

* fix(#604): make ci-test-scope + comment-strippers regex-free to clear CodeQL

CodeQL flags the regex PATTERNS syntactically (regex-injection on the
--files arg split; incomplete-multi-character-sanitization on the <!--...-->
replace), so loop fixes do not satisfy it. Made these paths regex-free:
- ci-test-scope.cjs splitFiles: char-by-char separator tokenizer (no /[,\\s]+/).
- 3 test files: indexOf/slice HTML-comment stripper (no .replace(/<!--/)).
Behavior preserved; ci-test-scope + the 3 suites pass; guard clean.

* fix(#604): unblock security base64 scan on the large rename diff

The security job hit its 10m timeout: base64-scan.sh choked on the binary
test fixture tests/feat-3594-parser-property-style.test.cjs (embedded NUL/
non-UTF8 bytes -> thousands of bogus blobs + "ignored null byte" warnings),
and the ~800-file rename diff is slow to scan regardless.

- scripts/base64-scan.sh: skip binary-by-content files (grep -Iq .) — they
  can't carry base64-obfuscated *text* and feeding NUL bytes through the
  per-line scanner is pathologically slow. collect_files already filtered
  binary *extensions*; this catches binary *content* in text extensions.
- .github/workflows/security-scan.yml: raise the security job timeout 10m->30m
  to accommodate very large diffs (the scan itself is unchanged).

Verified locally: scan skips the fixture, 0 "ignored null byte" warnings,
0 findings, exit 0.

* fix(#604): sweep get-shit-done refs introduced by merging next

The branch was updated with next (#614/#384/#618 etc.), which reference the
get-shit-done/ dir (still named that on next). Swept the stale references in
the merged files to gsd-core so the rename stays consistent and lint:legacy-name
passes:
- commands/gsd/discuss-phase.md (runtime-launcher shim paths)
- src/core.cts (getAgentsDir layout comments)
- tests/bug-384-agents-runtime-aware.test.cjs (require path to runtime lib)

Verified: guard 0 violations; build green.

* fix(#604): exclude gsd-core/ path segments from bug-3683 command cross-ref invariant

The #614 runtime-launcher shim added to discuss-phase.md references
`${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/gsd-core/bin/...`. bug-3683's REF_PATTERN excluded path-y
refs only via lookbehind, but `}` precedes `/gsd-core/` in the shim, so it
mis-read the directory path as a dangling `/gsd-core` command ref (same class as
the #604 bug-2954 fix). Added a trailing `(?![\w-]*\/)` so `/gsd-<x>/...` path
segments are not treated as slash-command references.

Verified locally on BOTH platforms before pushing:
- mac (node 26) full suite: 0 failures
- gsd-test-runner (linux, node22 image) full suite: 0 failures
- bug-3683 + bug-2954 pass.

* fix(#604): lazily resolve findProjectRoot in gsd-tools (harden flaky CI)

CI intermittently failed state.test's gsd-tools subprocess with
"findProjectRoot is not a function" (flip-flopping across legs; not reproducible
on mac full suite, gsd-test linux full suite, test:unit, or state.test x8).
findProjectRoot is a re-export from core.cjs (sourced from project-root.cjs);
binding it via destructure at module-load can be undefined under a load-ordering
edge. Resolve it lazily at call time via a small wrapper so the lookup happens
after core.cjs is fully initialized.

Verified green on BOTH platforms before pushing:
- mac (node 26) full suite: 0 failures
- gsd-test-runner (linux, node22) full suite: 0 failures
- state.test.cjs: 106/106; gsd-tools loads cleanly.

* fix(#604): allowlist verification-patterns.md placeholder examples in secret scan

The rename git-mv'd references/verification-patterns.md into gsd-core/, pulling
it into the secret-scan diff. It documents stub/placeholder RED-FLAG env-var
examples (illustrative Stripe test-key / database-URL / API-key placeholders) —
not real credentials. Added it to .secretscanignore with the strict annotation,
mirroring the existing gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase.md exception.

Verified locally: secret-scan-lint --strict OK; secret-scan --diff origin/next
exits 0 with 0 findings.

Skill Surface Budget Module owns install-time profile staging and runtime surface control

  • Status: Accepted
  • Date: 2026-05-12
  • Decision date: 2026-05-12
  • Implementation: feat/3408-skills-description-dropped-due-to-size, PR

Every installed gsd-* skill costs eager system-prompt tokens: runtimes (Claude Code, opencode, and others) enumerate all skill descriptions in <available_skills> on every turn. With 66 skills and 33 agents, GSD alone consumes roughly 60% of the default 1%-of-context skill-listing budget, causing descriptions to drop when users stack multiple plugins (#3408).

The root problem is an absence of a profile/surface seam: the installer wrote every skill unconditionally, and no runtime-side control existed for enabling or disabling a cohesive group of skills without a full reinstall.

Decision

  • Add a Skill Surface Budget Module under gsd-core/bin/lib/install-profiles.cjs as the single owner for which skills and agents are written to runtime config directories.
  • Define three named profiles: core (six skills covering the main loop), standard (core + phase management and workspace skills), and full (all skills — the previous default).
  • Compute each profile's effective skill set as the transitive closure over the requires: dependency graph extracted from skill frontmatter, so partial installs never break cross-skill dependencies.
  • Persist the chosen profile in a .gsd-profile marker file in each runtime config directory; gsd update reads the marker to honor the profile on re-install.
  • When multiple runtimes are configured, resolve disagreement to the most-restrictive profile (smallest effective skill set).
  • Allow profile composition: --profile=core,audit resolves to union(closure(core), closure(audit)).
  • Preserve back-compat aliases: --minimal and --core-only map to --profile=core; MINIMAL_SKILL_ALLOWLIST, isMinimalMode, shouldInstallSkill, and stageSkillsForMode remain exported for existing callers.
  • Add a CI gate (scripts/lint-skill-deps.cjs, wired into pretest) that verifies every skill's requires: entries resolve against real skill stems — prevents the profile closure from silently over-installing or breaking.

Phase 2 — Runtime Surface Module

The Phase 2 decision, previously listed as an open question, is recorded here as an amendment to this ADR.

Decision

  • Add a /gsd:surface slash command with the following sub-commands:
    • list — show all clusters and their enabled/disabled status for the active runtime
    • status — show the active profile, effective skill count, and any dropped-description warnings
    • profile <name> — switch the active profile and re-stage skills/agents for the current runtime
    • disable <cluster> — mark a cluster disabled; re-stage to remove its skills from the runtime config dir
    • enable <cluster> — mark a cluster enabled; re-stage to add its skills back
    • reset — clear surface state and re-apply the active profile from .gsd-profile
  • Implement the runtime surface engine in gsd-core/bin/lib/surface.cjs, consuming stageSkillsForProfile and stageAgentsForProfile from the Phase 1 module without duplicating staging logic.
  • Persist per-runtime surface state in <runtimeConfigDir>/.gsd-surface.json, independent from .gsd-profile. The profile marker owns install-time identity; the surface JSON owns session-scope cluster toggles.
  • Source cluster taxonomy from the research memo §3.2 (2026-05-12-skill-surface-budget.md). Define clusters in gsd-core/bin/lib/clusters.cjs — a separate module so the surface engine and future SDK callers can import cluster definitions without loading the full profile module.
  • Cluster taxonomy: core_loop, audit_review, milestone, research_ideate, workspace_state, docs, ui, ai_eval, ns_meta, utility. Membership may overlap; every installed skill stem must appear in at least one cluster (enforced by tests/surface-clusters.test.cjs).
  • Relationship to Anthropic platform asks: Asks D (native per-skill toggle API) and E (budget-fraction negotiation) remain filed separately. The /gsd:surface command is a unilateral GSD-side workaround that does not depend on those platform changes.

Status — Phase 1 shipped

Phase 1 artifacts landed on feat/3408-skills-description-dropped-due-to-size:

  • gsd-core/bin/lib/install-profiles.cjs — PROFILES map, resolveProfile, loadSkillsManifest, stageSkillsForProfile, stageAgentsForProfile, readActiveProfile, writeActiveProfile, mostRestrictiveProfile, resolveEffectiveProfile
  • requires: frontmatter added to 64 skills in commands/gsd/*.md
  • scripts/lint-skill-deps.cjs — CI gate for requires: integrity, wired into pretest
  • bin/install.js — --profile=<name> flag (composable); --minimal/--core-only as aliases; .gsd-profile marker write on install; gsd update re-reads marker
  • Tests: tests/install-profiles-manifest.test.cjs, tests/install-profiles-marker.test.cjs, tests/install-profiles-resolve.test.cjs, tests/install-profiles-stage.test.cjs, tests/lint-skill-deps.test.cjs

Phase 2 shipped on the same branch:

  • commands/gsd/surface.md — /gsd:surface slash command runbook (sub-commands: list, status, profile <name>, disable <cluster>, enable <cluster>, reset)
  • gsd-core/bin/lib/surface.cjs — runtime engine (readSurface, writeSurface, resolveSurface, applySurface, listSurface); reuses stageSkillsForProfile / stageAgentsForProfile from Phase 1
  • gsd-core/bin/lib/clusters.cjs — 10-cluster taxonomy covering all installed skill stems
  • Tests: tests/surface-state.test.cjs, tests/surface-clusters.test.cjs, tests/surface-resolve.test.cjs, tests/surface-apply.test.cjs, tests/surface-list.test.cjs
  • Persistent surface state: <runtimeConfigDir>/.gsd-surface.json (independent from .gsd-profile)

Open questions

  • Whether the requires: field should also be consumed by /gsd:help to annotate dependency chains in help output (follow-up).
  • Whether telemetry (per-profile install counts, cluster-disable events) should be added to the surface engine or deferred.
  • Whether Anthropic platform asks D and E (native skill toggle API, budget-fraction negotiation) should block any future work in this module.

Consequences

  • Users with constrained context budgets can install --profile=core and expand incrementally via /gsd:surface enable <cluster> without a full reinstall.
  • The requires: closure ensures partial installs never silently break skill cross-references.
  • Future skills must declare requires: dependencies to participate in profile resolution; the lint gate enforces this at CI time.
  • CONTEXT.md gains a canonical Skill Surface Budget Module entry; future architecture reviews should treat out-of-seam skill staging as drift.
  • Cluster definitions in clusters.cjs are the authoritative taxonomy for runtime surface control; additions must be reflected there and in tests.
