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.

Interactive configuration of GSD workflow agents (research, plan_check, verifier) and model profile selection via multi-question prompt. Updates .planning/config.json with user preferences. Optionally saves settings as global defaults (~/.gsd/defaults.json) for future projects.

<required_reading> Read all files referenced by the invoking prompt's execution_context before starting. </required_reading>

Ensure config exists and load current state:

# `state.load` returns STATE frontmatter JSON from the SDK — it does not include `config_path`. Orchestrators may set `GSD_CONFIG_PATH` from init phase-op JSON; otherwise resolve the same path gsd-tools uses for flat vs active workstream (#2282).
if [[ -z "${GSD_CONFIG_PATH:-}" ]]; then
  if [[ -f .planning/active-workstream ]]; then

Creates config.json (at the resolved path) with defaults if missing. INIT still holds state.load output for any step that needs STATE fields. Store $GSD_CONFIG_PATH — all subsequent reads and writes use this path, not a hardcoded .planning/config.json, so active-workstream installs target the correct file (#2282).

```bash cat "$GSD_CONFIG_PATH" ```

Text mode (workflow.text_mode: true in config or --text flag): Set TEXT_MODE=true if --text is present in $ARGUMENTS OR text_mode from init JSON is true. When TEXT_MODE is active, replace every AskUserQuestion call with a plain-text numbered list and ask the user to type their choice number. This is required for non-Claude runtimes (OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.) where AskUserQuestion is not available.

Non-Claude runtime note: If TEXT_MODE is active (i.e. the runtime is non-Claude), prepend the following notice before the model profile question:

Note: Quality, Balanced, Budget, and Adaptive profiles assign semantic tiers
(Opus/Sonnet/Haiku) to each agent. When `runtime` is set in .planning/config.json,
tiers resolve to runtime-native model IDs — on Codex that's gpt-5.4 / gpt-5.3-codex /
gpt-5.4-mini with appropriate reasoning effort. See "Runtime-Aware Profiles" in
docs/CONFIGURATION.md.

If `runtime` is unset on a non-Claude runtime, the profile tiers have no effect on
actual model selection — agents use the runtime's default model. Choose "Inherit" to
force session-model behavior, set `runtime` + a profile to get tiered models, or
configure `model_overrides` manually in .planning/config.json to target specific
models per agent.

Use AskUserQuestion with current values pre-selected. Questions are grouped into six visual sections; the first question in each section carries the section-denoting header field (AskUserQuestion renders abbreviated section tags for grouping, max 12 chars).

Section layout:

Planning

Research, Plan Checker, Drift Guard, Pattern Mapper, Nyquist, UI Phase, UI Gate, AI Phase

Execution

Verifier, TDD Mode, Code Review, Code Review Depth (conditional — only when code_review=on), UI Review

Docs & Output

Commit Docs, Skip Discuss, Worktrees

Features

Intel, Graphify, Graph auto-update (conditional — only when graphify=on)

Model & Pipeline

Model Profile, Auto-Advance, Branching

Misc

Context Warnings, Research Qs

Conditional visibility — code_review_depth: This question is shown only when the user's chosen code_review value (after they answer that question, or the pre-selected value if unchanged) is on. If code_review is off, omit the code_review_depth question from the AskUserQuestion block and preserve the existing workflow.code_review_depth value in config (do not overwrite). Implementation: ask the Model + Planning + Execution-up-to-Code-Review questions first; if code_review=on, include code_review_depth in the same batch; otherwise skip it. Conceptually this is a one-branch split on the code_review answer.

Conditional visibility — graphify.auto_update: This question is shown only when the user's chosen graphify.enabled value is on. If graphify.enabled is off, omit the graphify.auto_update question and preserve the existing graphify.auto_update value in config (do not overwrite). Implementation: ask Graphify first; only ask Graph auto-update when Graphify is enabled.

Merge new settings into existing config.json:

    "budget": <existing|null>,
    "high": <existing|null>,
    "medium": <existing|null>,
    "low": <existing|null>
  }
}

Safe merge: Apply each chosen value via gsd-tools.cjs query config-set <key.path> <value> so unrelated keys are never clobbered. code_review_depth is written only if the code_review question was answered on; otherwise leave the existing value in place. model_profile is written on Q1 "Adaptive (Recommended)" (→ adaptive) or Q1 "Inherit" (→ inherit) immediately; for Q1 "Standard tier…", model_profile is written from Q2's answer. If Q1 = "Standard tier…" but Q2 is cancelled, leave the existing model_profile value unchanged — do not write any new value.

Write updated config to $GSD_CONFIG_PATH (the workstream-aware path resolved in ensure_and_load_config). Never hardcode .planning/config.json — workstream installs route to .planning/workstreams/<slug>/config.json.

Ask whether to save these settings as global defaults for future projects:
AskUserQuestion([
  {
    question: "Save these as default settings for all new projects?",
    header: "Defaults",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Yes", description: "New projects start with these settings (saved to ~/.gsd/defaults.json)" },
      { label: "No", description: "Only apply to this project" }
    ]
  }
])

If "Yes": write the same config object (minus project-specific fields like brave_search) to ~/.gsd/defaults.json:

mkdir -p ~/.gsd

Write ~/.gsd/defaults.json with:

These settings apply to future /gsd:plan-phase and /gsd:execute-phase runs.

Quick commands:
- /gsd:config --integrations — configure API keys (Brave/Firecrawl/Exa), review.models CLI routing, and agent_skills injection
- /gsd:config --profile <profile> — switch model profile
- /gsd:plan-phase --research — force research
- /gsd:plan-phase --skip-research — skip research
- /gsd:plan-phase --skip-verify — skip plan check
- /gsd:config --advanced — power-user tuning (plan bounce, timeouts, branch templates, cross-AI, context window, model policy)

  • Current config read
  • User presented with 24 settings (profile + workflow toggles + features + git branching + git tagging + ctx warnings), grouped into six sections: Planning, Execution, Docs & Output, Features, Model & Pipeline, Misc. code_review_depth is conditional on code_review=on. Model profile uses a two-question split (Q1: Adaptive / Standard tier / Inherit; Q2: Quality / Balanced / Budget — only when Standard tier chosen) to stay within the 4-option AskUserQuestion cap while exposing all 5 valid profiles (#3784). Drift Guard (plan_review.source_grounding) is in the Planning section.
  • Config updated with model_profile, workflow, and git sections
  • User offered to save as global defaults (~/.gsd/defaults.json)
  • Changes confirmed to user </success_criteria>
