Tom Boucher 62b0d939b6 feat(#3274): make reviewer-lane timeout configurable via timeoutConfigKey (#4083)
* feat(#3274): make reviewer-lane timeout configurable via timeoutConfigKey

Add an optional `timeoutConfigKey` field to the reviewer lane descriptor,
resolved in `resolveLanePlan` at invocation time and falling back to the
frozen `timeoutFloorMs` when unset or invalid, in the same spirit as the
existing `promptBudgetKey`/`modelConfigKey` fields. All 12 shipped lanes
declare `review.timeouts.<slug>` on both surfaces (the descriptor and their
capability.json manifest), validated by capability-validator.cjs.

For the antigravity lane, the native `agy --print-timeout` flag — previously
a second hardcoded literal (`540s`) independent of the outer cap — is now
derived from the same resolved outer timeout in `antigravityArgv`, preserving
the existing 60-second buffer relationship (ADR-2782 D6: the outer bound is
declared data, the inner one is handler-owned).

The antigravity default timeoutFloorMs stays at 600s per the maintainer's
disposition; users raise it through the new config key instead.

* docs(#3274): document review.timeouts.* and extract resolveTimeoutMs helper

Address code-review findings on the timeoutConfigKey change: extract the
inline timeout-resolution logic into a named, exported, directly-tested
resolveTimeoutMs helper (matching the file's existing configString/
normalizeHost convention); document the new review.timeouts.* federated
config keys in docs/CONFIGURATION.md, docs/reference/capability-manifest.md,
and docs/how-to/ship-a-reviewer-lane.md; add the changeset fragment.

* fix(#3274): resolve native antigravity timeout in resolveLanePlan, not the runner

gsd-test caught two design mistakes in the prior commits:

1. SpawnPlan.argv is documented and tested as fully resolved by
   resolveLanePlan (model/effort/output/prompt already folded in) — leaving
   the antigravity '{{nativeTimeout}}' marker unresolved until the runner's
   antigravityArgv violated that contract and broke tests that read
   plan.argv directly (tests/antigravity-reviewer.test.cjs,
   tests/review-default-reviewers-workflow.test.cjs). Fix: '{{nativeTimeout}}'
   is now a fifth ARGV_PLACEHOLDER member, resolved by resolveLanePlan itself
   via the new nativeTimeoutToken() helper, exactly like the other four.
   antigravityArgv reverts to its pre-#3274 four-argument form. Also missed
   updating capabilities/antigravity/capability.json's invoke.args to match
   the descriptor, which broke the manifest/descriptor parity test.

2. tests/reviewer-config-federation.test.cjs enforces a deliberate, narrow
   invariant (#3691 narrows #2797): qwen, cursor, and coderabbit — the three
   lanes with neither a model flag nor a host — may own no config key beyond
   their own prompt-budget key. Adding review.timeouts.<slug> to all 12 lanes
   violated it. Fix: those three keep timeoutConfigKey: null and own no
   review.timeouts.* key, matching their existing modelConfigKey: null. The
   other 9 lanes are unaffected.

* chore(#3274): backfill changeset PR number (pr:0 -> 4083)

GSD Core

Git. Ship. Done.

English · Português · 简体中文 · 日本語 · 한국어

A light-weight meta-prompting, context engineering, and spec-driven development system for Claude Code, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, Kimi CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

What is GSD Core

GSD Core is a context-engineering and spec-driven development framework that drives AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI, Kimi CLI, Copilot, Cursor, and more) through a disciplined phase loop. It solves context rot — the quality degradation that accumulates as an AI fills its context window — by running all heavy research, planning, and execution work in fresh-context subagents while keeping your main session lean.


How it works

Each milestone repeats the same five-step loop, one phase at a time:

  1. Discuss — capture implementation decisions before anything is planned
  2. Plan — research, decompose, and verify the plan fits a fresh context window
  3. Execute — run plans in parallel waves; each executor starts with a clean 200k-token context
  4. Verify — walk through what was built; diagnose and fix before declaring done
  5. Ship — create the PR, archive the phase, repeat for the next one

Quickstart

npx @opengsd/gsd-core@latest

The installer prompts for your runtime (Claude Code, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, Kimi CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) and whether to install globally or locally. The installer is required for cross-runtime compatibility — do not copy files from agents/ or commands/ directly.

On another runtime or without Node.js? See Install on your runtime.

Once installed, start a new project or onboard an existing repo:

/gsd-new-project   # greenfield project
/gsd-onboard       # existing codebase

Why it works

Most AI-coding setups fail at scale because context bloat silently degrades output quality, there is no shared memory between sessions, and nothing verifies that code actually works. GSD Core solves all three: heavy work runs in fresh subagents, structured artifacts like STATE.md and CONTEXT.md survive session boundaries, and the verify step walks through what was built and generates fix plans before a phase is declared done. See docs/explanation/context-engineering.md for the full reasoning.
