Tom Boucher 79002a00cb chore(#518): rename npm package + bin to @opengsd/gsd-core (#519)
* chore: rename npm package + bin to @opengsd/gsd-core (functional)

- package.json: name @opengsd/get-shit-done-redux → @opengsd/gsd-core,
  bin key get-shit-done-redux → gsd-core, repository/homepage/bugs URLs
- package-lock.json: regenerated (npm install --package-lock-only)
- tests/**, scripts/**, bin/**, .github/**, agents/**, commands/**,
  get-shit-done/bin/**, get-shit-done/workflows/**:
  applied the 4-rule replacement (scoped npm ref, GitHub repo path,
  bin/clone invocations) per #505 single-source refactor

* docs: sweep live references to @opengsd/gsd-core

Update all live documentation (README.md + translations, docs/**,
CONTRIBUTING.md, VERSIONING.md, SECURITY.md, CONTEXT.md,
docs/CANARY.md) to reflect the renamed package and repository.

Rules applied:
- @opengsd/get-shit-done-redux → @opengsd/gsd-core (scoped npm name)
- open-gsd/get-shit-done-redux → open-gsd/gsd-core (GitHub repo)
- GSD-redux/get-shit-done-redux → open-gsd/gsd-core (stale badge org)
- bare bin/clone refs → gsd-core

CHANGELOG.md, docs/adr/**, docs/RELEASE-*.md, docs/research/**,
and .changeset/** are preserved byte-identical.

* fix: add negative lookbehind to slash-command regex in bug-2954 test

The extractSlashReferences regex matched /gsd-core inside npm package
URLs (@opengsd/gsd-core), producing a false /gsd:core command reference.
Adding a negative lookbehind (?<![a-z]) excludes matches preceded by a
letter, so only standalone /gsd-<cmd> and /gsd:<cmd> tokens are found.

* chore(#518): add changeset for package rename

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(#518): update package-identity expectations to the renamed coordinates

The rebase regenerated the seam to @opengsd/gsd-core (bin gsd-core, repo
open-gsd/gsd-core). The #498 seam tests assert deriveIdentity against the REAL
package.json, so their expected literals must follow the rename. The drift-lint
unit test is left as-is — its SEAM is a self-consistent fixture and its
stale-literal detection cases would shift if altered; the live-repo scan in it
already passes.

# Context Window Monitor
A post-tool hook (`PostToolUse` for Claude Code, `AfterTool` for Gemini CLI) that warns the agent when context window usage is high.
## Problem
The statusline shows context usage to the **user**, but the **agent** has no awareness of context limits. When context runs low, the agent continues working until it hits the wall — potentially mid-task with no state saved.
## How It Works
1. The statusline hook writes context metrics to `/tmp/claude-ctx-{session_id}.json`
2. After each tool use, the context monitor reads these metrics
3. When remaining context drops below thresholds, it injects a warning as `additionalContext`
4. The agent receives the warning in its conversation and can act accordingly
## Thresholds
| Level | Remaining | Agent Behavior |
|-------|-----------|----------------|
| Normal | > 35% | No warning |
| WARNING | <= 35% | Wrap up current task, avoid starting new complex work |
| CRITICAL | <= 25% | Stop immediately, save state (`/gsd-pause-work`) |
## Debounce
To avoid spamming the agent with repeated warnings:
- First warning always fires immediately
- Subsequent warnings require 5 tool uses between them
- Severity escalation (WARNING -> CRITICAL) bypasses debounce
## Architecture
```
Statusline Hook (gsd-statusline.js)
| writes
v
/tmp/claude-ctx-{session_id}.json
^ reads
|
Context Monitor (gsd-context-monitor.js, PostToolUse/AfterTool)
| injects
v
additionalContext -> Agent sees warning
```
The bridge file is a simple JSON object:
```json
{
"session_id": "abc123",
"remaining_percentage": 28.5,
"used_pct": 71,
"timestamp": 1708200000
}
```
## Integration with GSD
GSD's `/gsd-pause-work` command saves execution state. The WARNING message suggests using it. The CRITICAL message instructs immediate state save.
## Setup
Both hooks are automatically registered during `npx @opengsd/gsd-core` installation:
- **Statusline** (writes bridge file): Registered as `statusLine` in settings.json
- **Context Monitor** (reads bridge file): Registered as `PostToolUse` hook in settings.json (`AfterTool` for Gemini)
Manual registration should use the absolute Node executable path that ran the installer. On Windows PowerShell, prefix the command with `&` when that executable path is quoted.
Manual registration in `~/.claude/settings.json` (Claude Code):
```json
{
"statusLine": {
"type": "command",
"command": "\"/usr/local/bin/node\" \"/Users/me/.claude/hooks/gsd-statusline.js\""
},
"hooks": {
"PostToolUse": [
{
"hooks": [
{
"type": "command",
"command": "\"/usr/local/bin/node\" \"/Users/me/.claude/hooks/gsd-context-monitor.js\""
}
]
}
]
}
}
```
For Gemini CLI (`~/.gemini/settings.json`), use `AfterTool` instead of `PostToolUse`:
```json
{
"hooks": {
"AfterTool": [
{
"hooks": [
{
"type": "command",
"command": "& \"C:/Program Files/nodejs/node.exe\" \"C:/Users/me/.gemini/hooks/gsd-context-monitor.js\""
}
]
}
]
}
}
```
## Safety
- The hook wraps everything in try/catch and exits silently on error
- It never blocks tool execution — a broken monitor should not break the agent's workflow
- Stale metrics (older than 60s) are ignored
- Missing bridge files are handled gracefully (subagents, fresh sessions)
