Tom Boucher 8789211038 fix(insert-phase): update STATE.md next-phase recommendation after phase insertion (#2509)
* fix(insert-phase): update STATE.md next-phase recommendation after inserting a phase

Closes #2502

* fix(insert-phase): update all STATE.md pointers; tighten test scope

Two follow-up fixes from CodeRabbit review of #2509:

1. The update_project_state instruction only said to find "the line" for
   the next-phase recommendation. STATE.md can have multiple pointers
   (structured current_phase: field AND prose recommendation text).
   Updated wording to explicitly require updating all of them in the same
   edit.

2. The regression test for the next-phase pointer update scanned the
   entire file, so a match anywhere would pass even if update_project_state
   itself was missing the instruction. Scoped the assertion to only the
   content inside <step name="update_project_state"> to prevent false
   positives.

<purpose>
Insert a decimal phase for urgent work discovered mid-milestone between existing integer phases. Uses decimal numbering (72.1, 72.2, etc.) to preserve the logical sequence of planned phases while accommodating urgent insertions without renumbering the entire roadmap.
</purpose>
<required_reading>
Read all files referenced by the invoking prompt's execution_context before starting.

<process>
<step name="parse_arguments">
Parse the command arguments:
- First argument: integer phase number to insert after
- Remaining arguments: phase description
Example: `/gsd-insert-phase 72 Fix critical auth bug`
-> after = 72
-> description = "Fix critical auth bug"
If arguments missing:
```
ERROR: Both phase number and description required
Usage: /gsd-insert-phase <after> <description>
Example: /gsd-insert-phase 72 Fix critical auth bug
```
Exit.
Validate first argument is an integer.
</step>
<step name="init_context">
Load phase operation context:
```bash
INIT=$(gsd-sdk query init.phase-op "${after_phase}")
if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
```
Check `roadmap_exists` from init JSON. If false:
```
ERROR: No roadmap found (.planning/ROADMAP.md)
```
Exit.
</step>
<step name="insert_phase">
**Delegate the phase insertion to `gsd-sdk query phase.insert`:**
```bash
RESULT=$(gsd-sdk query phase.insert "${after_phase}" "${description}")
```
The CLI handles:
- Verifying target phase exists in ROADMAP.md
- Calculating next decimal phase number (checking existing decimals on disk)
- Generating slug from description
- Creating the phase directory (`.planning/phases/{N.M}-{slug}/`)
- Inserting the phase entry into ROADMAP.md after the target phase with (INSERTED) marker
Extract from result: `phase_number`, `after_phase`, `name`, `slug`, `directory`.
</step>
<step name="update_project_state">
Update STATE.md to reflect the inserted phase:
1. Read `.planning/STATE.md`
2. Update STATE.md's next-phase pointers to the newly inserted phase `{decimal_phase}`:
- Update structured field(s) used by tooling (e.g. `current_phase:`) to `{decimal_phase}`.
- Update human-readable recommendation text (e.g. `## Current Phase`, `Next recommended run:`) to `{decimal_phase}`.
- If multiple pointer locations exist, update all of them in the same edit.
3. Under "## Accumulated Context" → "### Roadmap Evolution" add entry:
```
- Phase {decimal_phase} inserted after Phase {after_phase}: {description} (URGENT)
```
If "Roadmap Evolution" section doesn't exist, create it.
</step>
<step name="completion">
Present completion summary:
```
Phase {decimal_phase} inserted after Phase {after_phase}:
- Description: {description}
- Directory: .planning/phases/{decimal-phase}-{slug}/
- Status: Not planned yet
- Marker: (INSERTED) - indicates urgent work
Roadmap updated: .planning/ROADMAP.md
Project state updated: .planning/STATE.md

## Next Up
**Phase {decimal_phase}: {description}** -- urgent insertion
`/clear` then:
`/gsd-plan-phase {decimal_phase}`
---
**Also available:**
- Review insertion impact: Check if Phase {next_integer} dependencies still make sense
- Review roadmap

```
</step>
</process>
<anti_patterns>
- Don't use this for planned work at end of milestone (use /gsd-add-phase)
- Don't insert before Phase 1 (decimal 0.1 makes no sense)
- Don't renumber existing phases
- Don't modify the target phase content
- Don't create plans yet (that's /gsd-plan-phase)
- Don't commit changes (user decides when to commit)
</anti_patterns>
<success_criteria>
Phase insertion is complete when:
- [ ] `gsd-sdk query phase.insert` executed successfully
- [ ] Phase directory created
- [ ] Roadmap updated with new phase entry (includes "(INSERTED)" marker)
- [ ] STATE.md updated with roadmap evolution note
- [ ] User informed of next steps and dependency implications
</success_criteria>
