* feat(#2904): add a `reviewer` entry type so third-party reviewer lanes are discoverable
ADR-2782 made a reviewer lane installable by a third party, but neither
discoverability catalog could hold one. The Community Capability Registry
requires a non-empty `loopExtensionPoints` and forbids a lane from declaring
any hook kind, so a `role: "reviewer"` entry is unsatisfiable by construction;
the EoS Registry is for ADR-1239 host integrations, which a lane is not.
Adds a third catalog — `docs/registries/reviewers.json` →
`docs/registries/reviewer-registry.md` — whose `interactions` describes the
lane: slug, flags, transport, evidenceClass, reviewsSection, requiresBinaries,
configKeys, runtimeCompat.
The lane vocabulary is a hand-written mirror of `capability-validator.cjs`
(the same pattern as `AXES` mirroring `HOST_INTEGRATION_AXES`), with parity
enforced by tests/registry-reviewer-parity.test.cjs. `slug` deliberately uses
the runtime `LANE_SLUG_RE` grammar rather than the registry's kebab-only `id`
rule, so real lanes (`lm_studio`, `4o-mini`) are not rejected.
Two binary type branches became three-way Map dispatch. Both now fail loudly
on an unrecognized type instead of silently treating it as a capability —
`renderMarkdown` in particular writes a committed catalog file, so a silent
wrong-title render was the worst failure mode available.
Also fixed while here: `gen-registry.cjs` parsed source JSON with no error
handling, so a malformed or non-array `capabilities.json` surfaced as a raw
SyntaxError/TypeError instead of an actionable CLI error.
Closes #2904
* fix(#2904): bound and sanitize untrusted registry `interactions` strings
Review findings from the pre-PR passes.
Security (isolated pass): `interactions` string fields reached the generated,
committed Markdown catalog with no control-character check and no length
bound. A `reviewsSection` carrying ESC and a `requiresBinaries` element
carrying NUL plus 5000 characters validated clean and landed verbatim in the
rendered page — `mdInline` escapes Markdown metacharacters and collapses CRLF,
but nothing else. The identical gap already existed on the capability type's
`configKeys`/`requires`/`runtimeCompat`/`produces`/`consumes`, so it is fixed
there too rather than inherited into a third type.
`hasDisallowedControlChar` is lifted to module scope so exactly one
implementation exists, and a shared `validateStringArrayField` enforces
control-character rejection, a 200-character element cap and a 50-element
array cap for both types.
Correctness (standards pass): `renderMarkdown`'s per-entry summary builder was
still an if/else-if chain whose final `else` was the capability branch — the
one per-type dispatch point this change had not converted, and the same silent
fallthrough it removes elsewhere. It now lives in `RENDER_META` alongside the
title, so a fourth type cannot silently inherit capability's rendering. All
three types' rendered output is byte-identical to before the refactor.
Also corrects a test comment that still claimed the reviewer suites were
failing-first against an unmodified module.

GSD Core documentation
Documentation is organised into four quadrants: tutorials help you learn by doing, how-to guides solve specific tasks, reference states authoritative facts, and explanation explores concepts and design decisions.
Language versions: English · Português (pt-BR) · 日本語 · 简体中文
Tutorials
- Your first project — install to first shipped phase, one guaranteed path
- Onboarding an existing codebase — bring GSD Core to a brownfield repo
- Build your first capability — author a tiny declarative capability and watch it act in the loop
- Install your first capability — install a third-party capability end-to-end: consent, verify, check for updates, remove
How-to guides
- Install on your runtime — runtime-specific install steps for all 16 supported runtimes
- Install a minimal GSD and add skills later — install only the core skills, then grow the surface with profiles and
/gsd:surface - Attach a plugin-provided skill to a GSD agent — use the
global:plugin:skillentry form to load Claude Code plugin skills into agent prompts - Discuss a phase — capture implementation decisions before planning begins
- Resolve edge-coverage findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced domain-boundary edges into covered, dismissed, or backstopped spec decisions
- Resolve prohibition findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced must-NOT constraints into resolved, dismissed, or deferred spec decisions
- Plan a phase — run research, decompose work, and verify plan quality
- Execute a phase — run plans in parallel waves with fresh-context subagents
- Verify and ship — walk through completed work, diagnose failures, and create the PR
- Run phases autonomously — use autonomous mode for unattended phase execution
- Handle quick and fast tasks — use
/gsd-quickand/gsd-fastfor ad-hoc work outside the phase loop - Configure model profiles — switch between quality, balanced, and budget model tiers
- Set up cross-AI review — configure a second AI to review code produced by the primary agent
- Work in parallel with workstreams — run independent lines of work simultaneously using workstreams
- Isolate work with workspaces — use workspaces to sandbox experimental or risky changes
- Debug a failed execution — diagnose and recover from broken or incomplete phase execution
- Spike and sketch — use
/gsd-spikeand/gsd-sketchfor exploratory work before committing to a plan - Design a UI phase — use the UI phase loop for frontend and visual work
- Develop a Capability for GSD 1.5+ — add feature Capabilities, hook fragments, and registry entries
- Ship a reviewer lane in your capability — declare a
reviewerbody so/gsd-reviewdiscovers, invokes, and renders your external review CLI or model endpoint - Add or update a host's integration — set a host's documentation-sourced
runtime.hostIntegrationaxes (ADR-1239 Phase A), with theundocumentedsentinel rule - Turn a capability off (and keep it off) — disable a capability via the surface, or gate individual hooks off without removing the capability
- Drive GSD from a tracker issue — start a phase from a GitHub, Linear, or Jira issue
- Migrate from GSD 2 — upgrade an existing GSD 2 project to GSD Core
- Update GSD — re-run the installer to pick up the latest release
- Clean up get-shit-done-cc — remove leftover old-package artifacts that cause a spurious
⬆ /gsd:updateindicator after migrating to@opengsd/gsd-core - Fix the worktree base-mismatch (exit 42) error — resolve the branch-divergence condition that halts parallel phase execution
- Recover and troubleshoot — fix common problems, rebuild context, and uninstall

Explanation
- Context engineering — how context rot forms and how GSD Core prevents it
- The phase loop — design rationale for the Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship cycle
- Multi-agent orchestration — how subagents are spawned, scoped, and coordinated
- Security model — trust boundaries, permissions, and safe automation
- The capability trust model — why third-party capabilities are gated by consent + integrity + reversibility, not a sandbox
- How overlay capabilities compose — why first-party always wins and how the loader resolves precedence, conflicts, and fail-open load-failure warnings
- Architecture — system architecture, agent model, and data flow
- The Embeddable Orchestration System — one public, versioned contract for embedding GSD across many hosts
- Discuss modes — assumptions mode vs interview mode for
