Tom Boucher 6b196ef638 fix(#2423): finalize job syncs next package.json after final release (#2437)
* fix(release): finalize job calls sync-next-version.cjs to bump next after final release (#2423)

The release pipeline's 'finalize' job shipped X.Y.0 to npm 'latest' and
merged to main, but never bumped 'next' to match. 'scripts/sync-next-version.cjs'
exists exactly for this — its docstring promises to run 'for every release
type (rc / hotfix / final)' — but it was wired only into the 'rc' job
(release.yml:479), not 'finalize'. As a result, after 1.7.0 shipped on
2026-07-15, 'next' stayed at 1.7.0-rc.6 and every npm script banner on
'next' (and feature branches cut from it) reported the stale rc version.

Regression of #1104 — closed incomplete (covered rc only, not final).

This patch:
  - adds a 'Sync next branch to the published release' step to the
    'finalize' job, mirroring the rc job's pattern at line 479 (uses
    VERSION from inputs.version rather than PRE_VERSION from steps.prerelease,
    since finalize does not run the prerelease step);
  - gates it on !inputs.dry_run + continue-on-error:true (matches rc);
  - adds tests/release-finalize-syncs-next-version.test.cjs — a structural
    YAML assertion that fails against the pre-fix workflow and passes after.
    Failing-first demonstrated during development; the test parses job blocks
    by indentation rather than grep so it stays valid as the file grows.

Root-cause diagnosis: scripts/sync-next-version.cjs:14 docstring admits
'used by release.yml's rc job, which has no next-targeting PR of its own'.
release.yml:506-685 (finalize job) had no sync-next-version step before
this patch. Every prior rc.N release has a matching 'chore: sync next
package version to 1.7.0-rc.N' commit; there is no such commit for 1.7.0.

* chore(release): sync next package version to 1.7.0 (#2423)

Replays the canonical 'chore: sync next package version to <v>' commit
that the release pipeline's rc job auto-produces via scripts/sync-next-version.cjs,
for the 1.7.0 final release that shipped on 2026-07-15 (commit dd4c90f82
'chore: finalize v1.7.0' on main). Without this, 'next' (and every feature
branch cut from it) carried 1.7.0-rc.6 indefinitely and reported it in
every npm script banner (e.g. 'lint:ci').

Bumps 43 synchronized manifests via the npm 'version' lifecycle hook
(scripts/sync-manifest-versions.cjs --stage + scripts/gen-capability-registry.cjs
--write), matching the file set of commit 27f69cc48 ('chore: sync next
package version to 1.7.0-rc.6') and commit dd4c90f82 ('chore: finalize
v1.7.0').

This is the immediate Layer-1 repair for #2423. Layer-2 (prevent recurrence)
is the workflow patch in the previous commit; Layer-3 (regression test)
ships with it. Future X.Y.0 final releases will produce this commit
automatically once the workflow fix lands.

* test(release): tighten #2423 dry-run gate assertion to the sync step

Code review of fix/2423 found that test #3 ('gates sync-next-version on
!inputs.dry_run') asserted too loosely: it scanned the entire finalize
block for any '!inputs.dry_run' line, so it would still pass if the
gate were stripped from the sync-next-version step specifically — the
exact regression the test name promises to catch. The finalize job has
multiple steps with their own !inputs.dry_run gates (e.g. Verify
publish), so the loose version masked the very bug it claimed to detect.

Tighten by extracting the specific YAML step block containing
'scripts/sync-next-version.cjs' and asserting the gate appears within
THAT step's lines, not anywhere in the job. Verified the tightened test:

  - PASSES against the post-fix workflow (sync step has its own gate)
  - FAILS when the sync step's gate is stripped (even when other steps
    in finalize retain their own !inputs.dry_run gates) — the exact
    regression that previously slipped through

Adds extractStepBlockContaining(jobBlock, marker) helper alongside the
existing extractJobBlock(text, jobName). Reuses the same indentation-
based parsing, so it stays valid as the file grows.

* chore(changeset): backfill pr:2437 in .changeset/sturdy-ibex-jump.md

CLAUDE.md changeset convention: 'Use placeholder pr:0 during initial commit.
Backfill immediately after gh api POST /pulls returns the real number.'

PR #2437 created from branch fix/2423-release-finalize-sync-next-version.

* fix(#2423): add see #2423 to allow-test-rule exemption per ADR-456

CI lint-allow-test-rule-refs failed on PR #2437: ADR-456 requires new
allow-test-rule exemptions added after the ADR's acceptance to include a
tracking issue number in the comment, in the form
  // allow-test-rule: <reason> (see #NNN)
The exemption added in commit 976c8b0a2 lacked this ref. Fixed.

Verified locally:
  node scripts/lint-allow-test-rule-refs.cjs
    → ok lint-allow-test-rule-refs: 173 grandfathered exemption(s) tracked, no novel untracked offenders

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.
