A GSD verification gate resolves a project's test command and runs it. vitest
defaults to WATCH mode in an interactive TTY — exactly where a user runs
`gsd-execute-phase` — so a resolved `npm test`/`pnpm test` backed by vitest never
exited and the orchestrator waited indefinitely. Recovery needed the user to
manually prompt "something blocking?".
Fix — one shared helper + a bounded, surfacing timeout on the test-command gates:
- New pure module src/normalize-test-command.cts + `gsd-tools query
normalize-test-command` verb: rewrites a resolved command to a best-effort
one-shot form (direct vitest → `vitest run`; jest `--watch` → `--watchAll=false`;
a package-manager `test` script whose package.json runner is watch-vitest →
`CI=true` prefix; handles `--dir`; already-one-shot commands unchanged —
never double-flagged). Named `normalize-test-command` (not `test-*`) so the
file does not match node --test's default `test-*` discovery glob.
- The three gates that HUNG or silently-continued route through that ONE helper
and bound execution with `timeout $(config-get workflow.test_gate_timeout)`
(new config key, default 600s): the regression gate (extracted to
execute-phase/steps/regression-gate.md since execute-phase.md is size-frozen —
it shrank 93528→93132; ABORTS on exit 124), the post-merge gate, and the
audit-fix gate (previously an UNBOUNDED `eval`). All name watch/dev mode on 124.
- verify-phase's gate was ALREADY bounded (a fixed `timeout 300`, not a hang), so
it only gains the normalizer (so a watch runner exits fast) + a watch-mode hint
on 124, staying under its frozen 40960-byte tier cap.
Security hardening (review): the normalizer only rewrites a runner named as a
standalone command TOKEN (so `run-vitest.js`/`make test-vitest`/paths are never
mangled), is length-capped and uses only linear-time split-based scanning (no
super-linear backtracking on an adversarial `workflow.test_command`), and reads
package.json only when it is a regular file (never blocks on a FIFO via `--dir`).
Config key `workflow.test_gate_timeout` (seconds, default 600) registered in the
schema manifest + templates/config.json + docs/CONFIGURATION.md (mirrors
workflow.cross_ai_timeout). New module registered in .gitignore, eslint ignores,
inventory manifest/index. All 16 golden-install-parity fixtures + workflow size
baseline regenerated for the changed shipped files; bin/lib is excluded from the
parity manifest.
Tests: tests/normalize-test-command.test.cjs (normalizer units incl. security
hardening) and tests/test-gate-watch-mode.test.cjs (the three core gates route
through the shared helper + configured timeout + exit-124 watch-mode hint;
verify-phase asserted as normalize-only/already-bounded).
tests/execute-phase-active-flags.test.cjs repointed at the extracted step;
tests/planner-language-regression.test.cjs allowlist comment updated.
