Tom Boucher 58c2b1f502 fix: Windows shell robustness, project_root detection, and hook stdin safety (#1343)
Address 4 root causes of Windows + Claude Code reliability issues:

1. Workflow shell robustness: add || true guards to informational commands
   (ls, grep, find, cat) that return non-zero on "no results", preventing
   workflow step failures under strict execution models. Guard glob loops
   with [ -e "$var" ] || continue to handle empty glob expansion.

2. Hook stdin handling: replace readFileSync('/dev/stdin') with async
   process.stdin + timeout in agent templates (gsd-verifier.md). Existing
   JS hooks already have timeout guards.

3. project_root detection: fix isInsideGitRepo() to check .git at the
   candidate parent level (not just below it), enabling correct detection
   when .git and .planning/ are siblings at the same directory level —
   the common single-repo case from a subdirectory.

4. @file: handoff: add missing @file: handlers to autonomous.md and
   manager.md workflows that call gsd-tools init but lacked the handler
   for large output payloads.

Fixes #1343

Research how to implement a phase. Spawns gsd-phase-researcher with phase context.

Standalone research command. For most workflows, use /gsd:plan-phase which integrates research automatically.

Step 0: Resolve Model Profile

@~/.claude/get-shit-done/references/model-profile-resolution.md

Resolve model for:

  • gsd-phase-researcher

Step 1: Normalize and Validate Phase

@~/.claude/get-shit-done/references/phase-argument-parsing.md

PHASE_INFO=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" roadmap get-phase "${PHASE}")

If found is false: Error and exit.

Step 2: Check Existing Research

ls .planning/phases/${PHASE}-*/RESEARCH.md 2>/dev/null || true

If exists: Offer update/view/skip options.

Step 3: Gather Phase Context

INIT=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" init phase-op "${PHASE}")
if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
# Extract: phase_dir, padded_phase, phase_number, state_path, requirements_path, context_path

Step 4: Spawn Researcher

Task(
  prompt="<objective>
Research implementation approach for Phase {phase}: {name}
</objective>

<files_to_read>
- {context_path} (USER DECISIONS from /gsd:discuss-phase)
- {requirements_path} (Project requirements)
- {state_path} (Project decisions and history)
</files_to_read>

<additional_context>
Phase description: {description}
</additional_context>

<output>
Write to: .planning/phases/${PHASE}-{slug}/${PHASE}-RESEARCH.md
</output>",
  subagent_type="gsd-phase-researcher",
  model="{researcher_model}"
)

Step 5: Handle Return

  • ## RESEARCH COMPLETE — Display summary, offer: Plan/Dig deeper/Review/Done
  • ## CHECKPOINT REACHED — Present to user, spawn continuation
  • ## RESEARCH INCONCLUSIVE — Show attempts, offer: Add context/Try different mode/Manual
