Tom Boucher 640eaee16e chore(#2930): fragmentize execute-phase.md and prove per-runtime composed emission (#2972)
* feat(#2930): fragmentize plan-phase.md workflow into per-runtime-composed sections

Adds src/workflow-fragments.cts (in-file <!-- gsd:section --> marker
parser/composer, ADR-1671 epic #1671 Phase 3), wires it into
bin/install.js's copyWithPathReplacement emission path, and pilots the
marker grammar on gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase.md.

Bookkeeping ripple for the new src/*.cts module: .gitignore,
eslint.config.mjs, docs/INVENTORY.md + docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json,
and a CONTEXT.md glossary entry. Amends ADR-1671 with open questions 1
and 2 resolutions and records the closed when= applicability grammar.
Adds docs/reference/workflow-fragments.md and an ARCHITECTURE.md
section documenting the marker authoring model.

* fix(#2930): put allow-test-rule issue ref on the same line as the marker

lint-allow-test-rule-refs.cjs requires the #NNN issue reference on the
same source line as `allow-test-rule:`; it was one line below and read
as an unreferenced novel exemption.

* docs(#2930): link the orphaned gate-predicates reference from the docs index

Found while adding the workflow-fragments reference doc: docs/reference/gate-predicates.md
shipped without an entry in docs/README.md, so it was unreachable from the docs index.
Fixed inline rather than deferred.

* fix(#2930): scope composition to workflows, add typed failure reasons

Review findings from two orthogonal passes:

- Scope composeWorkflow to gsd-core/workflows/ only. It previously ran on
  every .md the installer copied, so a future agent/command/reference doc
  documenting the marker syntax with an unfenced example would have been
  mis-parsed and silently stripped — a lossy drop the phase forbids.
- Add a frozen REASON enum; failures attach a typed .reason and tests assert
  on it instead of matching free-form message text (CONTRIBUTING.md:635-694).
- Derive the property generator's when= values from WHEN_VOCABULARY instead
  of duplicating them (DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX).
- Add adversarial parser fixtures: Unicode headings, NUL, U+FFFD, BOM,
  fence-within-fence, tilde and indented fences, lone-CR marker line.
- Document why --mvp is structurally unmarkable: its content is interleaved,
  not sectioned, so the whole-line grammar cannot reach it.

Also fixes two stale tests on this branch, each reproduced on the unmodified
tree before correction.

* fix(#2930): retarget the pilot from plan-phase to execute-phase

The full remote matrix went red on both Linux lanes. Root cause was ours:
tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs holds a PRE_PHASE6 ceiling of
94519 bytes for plan-phase.md, asserting an ADR-857 Phase-6 completion
property. That is a third size gate beyond the tier caps and the
differential ratchet, and it left plan-phase.md just 36 bytes of headroom
rather than the 3821 computed from the XL cap. The 330 marker bytes
overran it by 294.

Raising the ceiling is not an option: it is a red line certifying another
ADR's completion. plan-phase.md is reverted to byte-identical origin/next
and the pilot moves to execute-phase.md, which has 728 bytes of headroom
under its own ceiling and lands at 93147 with 3 marker pairs.

The vocabulary narrows to the atoms actually used: always, flag:--wave,
state:gap-closure-phase, state:has-prior-phases.

Recorded in the ADR: every branch the epic names lives in plan-phase.md,
which cannot be fragmentized until caps move from source to emitted bytes.
That is direct evidence for the epic's premise and may reorder phases 3-4.

* chore(#2930): backfill changeset PR number (#2972)

* fix(#2930): make the emission install tests portable on Windows

The windows-latest lane went red on three tests in the new install suite;
Linux was green. Both causes were in the test harness, not the module.

Root normalization: the opencode converter always embeds the install root
forward-slashed, but the tests stripped it with the native-separator string
from mkdtemp. On Windows that never matched, so the root leaked through
unstripped — and because the real and stub install roots have different
prefix lengths, that length difference landed directly in the byte-delta
assertion (344 observed vs 275 expected). Normalize both text and root to
one separator form before stripping.

@-ref resolution: the helper stripped only the @~/ and @$HOME/ forms, so a
Windows absolute ref (@C:/Users/...) fell through and was joined onto the
root, producing ...\@C:\Users\... Strip the @ first, then detect
absoluteness from the token's own shape (POSIX, drive-letter, or UNC) with
no platform branching, so every OS takes the same path.

Neither assertion was weakened; the exact-equality byte check is the point
of the test and still holds.

* docs(#2930): document every REASON member and guard the doc/enum parity

Code review found the reference doc's 'Fails closed' list covering 10 of the
11 frozen REASON members — MALFORMED_ATTRIBUTES (parseAttrs rejects malformed
key="value" syntax) had no bullet, and it is distinct from
UNRECOGNIZED_ATTRIBUTE, which is valid syntax with an unknown key.

Two parallel surfaces sharing one constant with nothing asserting they agree is
the DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX class, so the same commit adds the parity assertion:
the test derives the enum side from the built module and the doc side by parsing
the reference page, keyed on the reason IDENTIFIER rather than prose so a
reworded bullet does not break it, and reports set differences in both
directions by name.

Proven non-vacuous: removing the MALFORMED_ATTRIBUTES bullet turns the suite
red naming that exact member; restoring it returns 44/44.
