* test(#3894): research_before_questions must resolve globally and order quick.md (failing first)
* fix(#3894): quick path honors workflow.research_before_questions; key resolves from global defaults
Two layers, one key. The quick workflow ran its discussion phase
before its research phase unconditionally — neither quick.md nor its
steps ever read workflow.research_before_questions, though the key is
documented, schema-registered, /gsd-settings-writable, and honored by
/gsd-discuss-phase and /gsd-new-project. A gray-area answer given
without research is then written to <quick_id>-CONTEXT.md as a locked
decision downstream agents are told not to revisit — an evidence-free
choice made unfalsifiable (the reporter's #3714 misresolution).
- quick.md Step 4 now carries the same research-before-questions check
the two honoring paths make: when enabled, research-phase executes
before discussion-phase; false/unset keeps the written order. Both
sections stay section-manifest gated.
- src/config-loader.cts forwarded workflow.post_planning_gaps from
~/.gsd/defaults.json but silently dropped this key — same file, same
nesting, one resolved and one didn't. Now forwarded with the same
flat + nested-alias fallback shape, added to the resolution-keys
lockstep canary and the #3532 shadowed-warning set (nested alias
reporting generalized over both keys).
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick.md — #3894: +Step 4 ordering rule (the research-before-questions check the discuss-phase and new-project paths already make); a real behavioral gate, not incidental bloat.
* fix(#3894): review fold-ins — gate the CONTEXT.md reference, colon slash-forms
- quick/steps/research-phase.md directed the researcher subagent to read
<quick_id>-CONTEXT.md under DISCUSS_MODE with no existence hedge — but
under the new ordering (research BEFORE discussion) the file cannot
exist yet when the researcher is dispatched. The reference now says
read-only-if-present with the #3894 reason; the alignment purpose
still applies on the default ordering.
- quick.md's new rule used the hyphen slash forms (/gsd-discuss-phase,
/gsd-new-project); source artifacts under gsd-core/workflows must
author the colon form the install-time converters key on — the same
file already uses /gsd:new-project and /gsd:quick elsewhere.
* docs(#3894): planning-config row names the flat CONFIG_DEFAULTS alias
config-field-docs requires every CONFIG_DEFAULTS key to appear in the
doc; the row documented the canonical namespaced form only. Adds the
same alias sentence post_planning_gaps's row carries, plus the #3894
quick-path note.
