`gsd-core/workflows/quick/steps/quick-verification.md` read the verifier's result with `grep "^status:" F | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d ' '` and routed it through a table whose only arms were passed / human_needed / gaps_found. That read fails two ways. Driven against the old pipeline: never written (verifier died) -> empty -> no arm off-schema value -> weird_value -> no arm `status:` in frontmatter AND prose -> two lines -> no arm valid `passed` on a CRLF checkout -> passed\r -> no arm stale report still reading passed -> passed -> SUCCESS `status: passed` in the prose only -> passed -> SUCCESS off-schema `passed:bogus` -> passed -> SUCCESS The first four leave the orchestrating agent improvising at the moment the pipeline failed. The last three are silent false passes: staleness was never evaluated, the match was not anchored to frontmatter, and `cut -d: -f2` splits an off-schema value at its own colon. The CRLF row is a pre-existing Windows bug this change closes as a side effect. The unanchored match is DEFECT.FRONTMATTER-SCALAR-BROAD-GREP, which the code side already fixed by name — `readVerificationStatus` parses frontmatter only, anchored at byte 0, and is total over its input space, returning `missing`, `unknown` and `stale` sentinels. execute-phase.md, verify-work.md and progress.md all read this same artifact through that query already; quick was the remaining second mechanism. Route quick's read through it and add an explicit terminal arm. Three details a naive swap misses: - The step file carries the runtime shim bootstrap itself. Step files are read and executed as their own units, so quick.md's bootstrap does not reach here. Copied byte-identically from gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh, the source sync-runtime-launcher.cjs generates every workflow's copy from. Without it the call resolves to nothing, 2>/dev/null swallows the error, and the fix degrades to a permanently-taken recovery arm. - No jq. `--pick status` returns the bare value. Per #2589 a `| jq -r` pipe yields an EMPTY variable with no diagnostic wherever jq is absent — the Windows/Git-Bash default — which here would route a passing verification into the recovery arm, strictly worse than the grep being replaced. - $VERIFICATION_STATUS is a DISPLAY string ("Verified" / "Needs Review" / "Gaps") consumed at quick.md:619 and quick.md:684, not the raw status. The raw value lands in $STATUS and the new arm sets both, so the failure path does not emit an empty index-table cell. next_action / next_command are deliberately not surfaced. readVerificationStatus discovers and parses shape-agnostically, which is what makes the status half correct for ${QUICK_DIR}; but it also reads the directory basename as a phase token to build those commands, and a quick dir is `${quick_id}-${slug}` with a date-derived quick_id — so the projection carries the date as a phase argument. Quick supplies its own recovery actions instead. Adds tests/fix-3174-quick-verification-status-read.test.cjs under `allow-test-rule: source-text-is-the-product` (CONTRIBUTING.md's exception matrix; the pattern tests/verify-work-auto-transition.test.cjs already uses for verify-work's status-query ordering). It pins five properties: the query replaces the grep, the bootstrap precedes the call, the bootstrap matches the canonical launcher snippet, the status-read fence is jq-free, and the terminal arm names all three sentinels and sets the display string. Verified as a negative control against pre-fix next: 0/5 pass there, 5/5 here.
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.
