Tom Boucher 66ad3d6250 test(#3523): rewrite two undetected source-greps as behavioral tests (#3548)
* test(#3523): rewrite two undetected source-greps as behavioral tests

Both sites read a real shipped hook and text-searched it, and both were
invisible to local/no-source-grep because the path was bound to a separate
const the rule never resolves back to its literal.

tests/check-update-config-dir.test.cjs carried three such reads, not the
one the issue cites. All three are replaced by a harness that runs the
real hooks/gsd-check-update.js under a fake HOME and observes the config
dirs detectConfigDir resolved, via the env the hook hands its worker.
Coverage now includes the CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR precedence cases and the
full adjacent-pair search order the deleted static grep only asserted
for one pair.

tests/security-prompt-injection.security.test.cjs asserted the scanner
hook's SOURCE TEXT contained each canonical MARKDOWN_LINK_PATTERNS regex
source. It now drives probes through the real hook and asserts the
emitted ruleId, with a completeness gate so a new canonical pattern
without a probe fails loudly, plus safePredicate parity the text grep
never checked.

No allow-test-rule marker is added. The now-false marker on
check-update-config-dir.test.cjs is removed and its identity-allowlist
entry pruned, which the ratchet requires.

* feat(#3523): emit typed findings IR from the read-injection scanner

The scanner built a structured findings array internally and discarded the
structure when rendering its advisory sentence, so the only thing a test
could assert on was that prose. CONTRIBUTING's 'Prohibited: Raw Text
Matching on Test Outputs' names that exact situation and prescribes adding
the typed surface rather than matching the text.

findings is now an array of {ruleId, match} records and the advisory is
derived from it through a single renderFinding mapper, so the rendered
text and the IR cannot drift. The array is emitted additively on
hookSpecificOutput for both the advisory and blocking output shapes.

The advisory string itself is unchanged, byte for byte: verified across
six payload shapes (single markdown-link hit, 3+ finding HIGH, invisible
unicode, unicode tag block, injection-pattern-only, mixed) by running the
pristine and modified hooks against identical stdin and comparing. 28
existing assertions across four suites substring-match that string.

The #3523 parity assertions now read the IR, and a new test binds the two
surfaces together by asserting every MD-LINK ruleId in findings appears in
the advisory and that the reported pattern count matches findings.length.

Refs #3464

* docs(#3523): document the read-injection scanner output contract

The scanner had no subsection under Security Hooks, only a one-line table
row. Documents its trigger events, severity thresholds, skip conditions,
rule ids, and the findings IR added alongside the advisory.

Refs #3464

* fix(#3523): bind every finding family to the advisory, freeze rule ids

Two review findings on the typed-IR commit.

The parity test filtered on MD-LINK- and so bound only one of the four
finding families to the rendered advisory; the other three were covered
only by the pattern count, which catches a length mismatch but not wrong
text. It now drives a payload producing all four families at once,
asserts all four are present so it cannot silently degrade, and checks
each one's expected rendering against an expectation table coded
independently of the hook's own mapper.

The three synthetic rule ids were written twice each — once at the push
site, once in renderFinding — so a rename at one site would fall through
the generic render branch with no signal. They are now a frozen RULE_IDS
constant referenced from both. No string value changed; the advisory
remains byte-identical across all six proof payloads.

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.

npm version npm downloads Tests Discord GitHub stars License


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.
