* refactor(#3187): give state field extraction one canonical owner stateFieldValue in state-document.cts becomes the single owner of the #1760 frontmatter-then-body fallback chain. The new whole-repo guard found 14 independent re-derivations where the epic scoped 5, all now routed through it: cmdStateSnapshot (11), cmdStatePrune (2) and smart-entry fmScalar (1). state validate was a gate that could not fail. Every warning it could emit sat behind a phase resolved without the frontmatter tier, so a STATE.md whose phase lives only in frontmatter skipped the drift scan entirely and returned valid:true. It also read unstripped content, letting a frontmatter status: key shadow the body field (#1255 class). Both fixed; output gains a scope field so could-not-look stops being output-identical to looked-and-clean. Verified on the remote runner. * docs(#3187): document the state validate scope field and its reason codes Adds docs/how-to/interpret-state-validate-results.md so a reader can tell nothing-to-report from could-not-look, updates the COMMANDS.md and USER-GUIDE.md entries, corrects the CONTEXT.md glossary overstatement about Current Position sole ownership, and drops the changeset fragment. * fix(#3187): close three drift-guard evasion shapes and test the refuse path The isolated adversarial review found the ladder detector was evadable by ordinary reformatting, not just deliberately: a member or computed operand (fm.key / fm[key]) missed the bare-identifier backreference, a swapped tier order missed a hardcoded number-then-boolean sequence, and a ladder wrapped across lines missed single-line detection. All three now caught, each with its own test plus a proven boundary control. The frontmatter-parse refuse path on the destructive complete-phase route was unreachable and therefore untested. It is now driven by an injected parse failure and asserts STATE.md is byte-identical after the refusal, rather than shipping untested defensive code on a path that rewrites user state. Verified on the remote runner. * fix(#3187): widen the drift guard to the prompt layer and disclose tier-2 changes The code-review spec axis found the guard's scan surface was src/ only, which is Decision 4(d)'s forbidden allowlist one directory wide - and it had a live miss: gsd-core/workflows/smart-entry.md tells an agent to read status from frontmatter or the body, a prose expression of this same chain. The surface now covers the prompt layer. That one site carries a permanent written exemption rather than a ratchet: it is the gsd-tools-is-down fallback, so it cannot call the owner by construction, and a ratchet would imply removable debt that does not exist. Two tier-2 output changes shipped undisclosed and are now named in the changeset and docs: complete-phase's idempotency guard consulting frontmatter, and the workstream inventory resolving frontmatter-only fields. docs/COMMANDS.md gains a state complete-phase entry, which it never had. Also records Amendment 5 on ADR-3180, extracts the duplicated frontmatter-parse block the epic's own thesis forbids, and re-points two assertions from free-form warning prose onto the structured drift object. Verified on the remote runner. * chore(#3187): backfill changeset PR number pr:0 placeholder replaced with the real PR number now that #3283 exists. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>
Changeset Fragments
This directory holds per-PR CHANGELOG fragments. Every PR with user-facing changes drops one (or more) <random-name>.md files here describing its CHANGELOG entry. Fragments are consolidated into the top-level CHANGELOG.md at release time.
Why
Two PRs that both edit the ### Fixed block of CHANGELOG.md always conflict on merge — git can't pick a serialization order without human input. Two PRs that each add a fresh .changeset/<unique-name>.md never conflict because they don't share lines.
See #2975 for the full rationale.
Adding a fragment
node scripts/changeset/new.cjs \
--type Fixed \
--pr 1234 \
--body "fix the thing — explain the user-visible change in one sentence"
This writes .changeset/<adjective>-<noun>-<noun>.md with frontmatter and a body. Three random words → concurrent PRs don't collide.
Format
---
type: Fixed
pr: 1234
---
**`/gsd-foo` no longer drops trailing slashes** — explain the user-visible change.
Allowed type: values follow Keep a Changelog: Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security.
Opting out
PRs that legitimately have no user-facing impact can add the no-changelog label. CI honors it. When unsure, add the fragment.
At release time
Promotion is automatic. The release workflow's finalize job runs:
node scripts/changeset/cli.cjs render --version vX.Y.Z --date YYYY-MM-DD --allow-empty
This reads every fragment, groups bullets by type:, replaces ## [Unreleased] with a new ## [vX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD block, opens a fresh ## [Unreleased] above, and deletes consumed fragments. The --allow-empty flag ensures a no-change release still gets a dated heading (with a _No notable changes._ placeholder). A subsequent verify step confirms the promotion landed correctly. Maintainers do not run this by hand.
Archived fragments
.changeset/archived/ holds fragments for already-shipped releases (≤ 1.3.1), retained for provenance. Their content was hand-curated into the dated ## [1.x.y] sections of CHANGELOG.md during the #690 backfill — they were never consumed by render. All changeset tooling enumerates .changeset/ non-recursively, so archived fragments are never picked up or rendered. Do not move them back to the top level.
