Tom Boucher 7a41248c4f fix(#3685): report phase-complete write flags from the transaction, not the filesystem (#3826)
* test(#3685): failing-first regression coverage for phase-complete write flags

`phase complete` reports `roadmap_updated`/`state_updated` from
`fs.existsSync(path)`, so both read `true` whenever the file merely exists —
including when the transaction wrote nothing. Add the regression tests that
prove it, plus the negative-space and true-direction pins, before the fix.

New in tests/phase.test.cjs:
- roadmap_updated is false when the transaction rewrites nothing (FAILS today)
- state_updated is false when the transaction rewrites nothing, and stays
  false on a third consecutive run (FAILS today)
- both flags are true when the transaction genuinely rewrites (pins the true
  direction so the fix cannot be tightened into always-false)
- each flag stays false when its file is absent

The STATE.md cases pin the clock via GSD_TEST_MODE + GSD_NOW_MS
(src/clock.cts:43-70) because syncStateFrontmatter stamps a
millisecond-resolution `last_updated:` on every write, which would otherwise
make the no-op unobservable.

Also strengthens four pre-existing `=== true` assertions on these fields that
passed vacuously: each now pairs the flag assertion with a content-changed
assertion against a pre-call snapshot, so the `true` is earned.

* fix(#3685): report phase-complete write flags from the transaction, not the filesystem

`phase complete` computed `roadmap_updated` and `state_updated` as
`fs.existsSync(path)`, so both read `true` for any project that had the file at
all — including a run that rewrote nothing. The flags are the only signal a
caller has that the rollup landed, so a no-op was indistinguishable from a
successful write and a stale ROADMAP went unnoticed until something downstream
read wrong numbers.

Both flags now reflect whether that file's content actually changed in the
transaction, computed at the existing `writes.push({filePath, before, after})`
sites — the same contract `requirements_updated` has honored since #2316-3, and
the same correction #2640/#2974 already applied to `phase remove`.

Nothing about what gets written changes; only what gets reported.

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.
