* fix(#3648): resolve base_branch precedence inversion and round-1 findings

Blocker 1/2: production config resolution was flat-first, so a project
that migrated to git.base_branch but still carried a stale flat
base_branch got the old value back. Add base_branch to
normalizeLegacyKeys (mirrors the existing branching_strategy/sub_repos
pattern: canonical nested wins) and route readEffectiveGitConfig's
test seam through the same normalization so it can't silently diverge
from production again. Adds a regression test with both keys set that
fails without the fix.

Blocker 3/4/5: restore the handle_branching case-selector prose and
"none" contract sentence that #3389's tests anchor on, and revert the
unrelated prose/comment compaction in the same step — both were
drive-by edits outside #3552's scope.

Also addresses review majors/minors: delete readConfigBaseBranch and
readConfigProtectedBranches (dead in production, only self-tested);
--is-protected now fails closed (reports protected) instead of
silently answering false when the base branch can't be verified;
trim configured protected-branch names; fix HOME-without-USERPROFILE
vacuous isolation on Windows; correct the drift-ack's byte accounting.

* test(#3648): add failing legacy-key hoist safety coverage

Round-2 review found normalizeLegacyKeys block 5 records a normalization
carrying the DISCARDED flat value on the canonical-wins branch. Probing
that turned up a second, unreported defect in the same helper shape:
blocks 1, 2 and 5 all spread result['git'] / result['planning'] with no
object guard, so a config whose section key holds a string is spread into
index keys —

  {"git":"main","base_branch":"release"}
    -> {"git":{"0":"m","1":"a","2":"i","3":"n","base_branch":"release"}}

The resolved value is accidentally still correct, so nothing fails and no
diagnostic fires. But normalizations.length > 0 sets configDirty, and
config-loader then serializes that shape back into the user's
config.json — a read that silently corrupts config.

The deleted #3057 W3 suite covered {"git":"main","base_branch":"release"}
explicitly; this is the input it would have caught.

Covers both defects across blocks 1 and 5, with object/array/null
negative controls that must stay green in both phases, and a fast-check
property over arbitrary `git` values.

* test(#3648): pin fail-closed handling of malformed protected_branches

Replaces the test that pinned the fail-OPEN behaviour. The old
assertion — ['develop', 42] yields isProtected === false for 'develop' —
locked in the exact failure #3552 exists to close: config-set validation
is bypassable by a direct edit of .planning/config.json, so a user who
believes 'develop' is protected got a silent false and no warning.

It was also inconsistent with the fail-CLOSED direction twelve lines
away, where an unverified base reports protected and writes a
diagnostic. A protection predicate must not have two opposite failure
directions depending on which input is bad (#3648 review Blocker 3).

New coverage: a bad element drops only itself, a non-array contributes
no names, an empty list is well-formed rather than malformed, and
--is-protected surfaces the rejection. Both negative controls — a clean
list reports nothing rejected and writes no diagnostic — must stay green
in either phase, so the reject channel cannot fire unconditionally.

* fix(#3648): drop only invalid protected_branches and report them

Partition git.protected_branches instead of discarding the whole list on
one bad element, and carry the rejections out through
ProtectedBranchStatus so --is-protected can name them on stderr. Valid
names keep protecting; the user finds out the rest were ignored.

A non-array value still contributes no names — a bare string is not a
list of branch names — but is now reported rather than swallowed. An
empty array stays silent: declaring no extra protected branches is a
valid choice, not a misconfiguration.

writeDiagnostic is hoisted out of the unverified-base branch since both
arms now use it.

* test(#3648): prove the predicate diagnostic survives both call sites

The workflow bash stub now emits a stderr diagnostic the way the real
command does, which is what makes a swallowed `2>/dev/null` visible to a
test — previously the stub was silent on stderr, so discarding it changed
no observable behaviour and the call sites could drop the explanation
undetected.

Adds the Minor 2 binding check as well: ship must expose the predicate
result as IS_PROTECTED rather than only echoing a warning, asserted by
running the extracted bash and reading the bound value, not by grepping
the workflow source.

Both tests carry opposite-outcome controls — an empty diagnostic must
leave the text absent, and a false predicate must bind false.

* fix(#3648): surface the predicate diagnostic and bind ship's result

Drop `2>/dev/null` from the --is-protected call at both call sites. The
fail-closed explanation and the new rejected-entry warning both go to
stderr, so discarding it left the user with a bare "protected branch"
warning on a branch that is not protected and no way to tell a real
match from a degraded-git guess. `git branch --show-current` keeps its
own redirect — that one is genuine noise.

ship.md binds IS_PROTECTED and its prose now branches on the variable,
so the following steps have evaluable state instead of having to infer
it from warning text in tool output.

execute-phase.md byte accounting refreshed: 92326 -> 92645, net growth
319 bytes (was 331 before the redirect came out). Baseline re-verified
against the current rebase base by blob id; the ceiling check passes
with 755 bytes of margin.

* test(#3648): restore negative space for the readFile config seam

The #3057 W3 suite was deleted with readConfigBaseBranch, but every arm
it pinned survives verbatim in readEffectiveGitConfig's readFile branch —
the JSON.parse catch, the non-object guard, the git-section object guard,
.trim() and blank-string rejection — and the four surviving readFile
injections were positive-path only. protected_branches was never driven
through this seam at all.

Restores nine cases against the seam, including protected_branches
partitioning, plus a control proving loadConfig still wins when both
seams are supplied.

Records honestly what the suite pins. Mutating the built lib shows
.trim() is KILLED, while the non-object guard and the blank-string
rejection SURVIVE — both are unreachable through this entry point for
the same reasons the deleted suite documented against its own
equivalents: a JSON-parsed non-object carries no relevant own-property
either way, and a blank value is rejected a second time downstream by
the resolver's truthiness check. They stay as defence-in-depth and are
labelled known-unkillable rather than left looking like coverage this
suite does not provide.

* test(#3648): distinguish detached HEAD from a missing branch argument

`args[1] ?? ''` collapsed two different situations into one: a detached
HEAD, where `git branch --show-current` legitimately prints nothing, and
the flag being called with no argument at all. Both answered false, so
the right outcome arrived by an unintentional path and a caller bug was
indistinguishable from normal operation.

Asserts the detached case stays silent and the missing-argument case
reports, with a control that the two diagnostics differ.

* fix(#3648): report a missing --is-protected branch argument

Answer false either way, but say so when the flag arrives with no
argument. A detached HEAD passes an explicit empty string and stays
silent, since that is a normal state rather than a misconfiguration.

* docs(#3648): state exact-name matching and per-entry rejection

isProtected is exact string equality, so a git-flow project must
enumerate every release/* and hotfix/* by name. #3552 only asked for an
integration-branch field, so the implementation satisfies the letter of
the issue while leaving its git-flow motivation partly unserved — say so
where users will meet it rather than leaving them to discover it.

Also documents the Blocker 3 behaviour change: an invalid entry is
ignored with a warning naming it and the remaining names still apply.

Both statements land in docs/CONFIGURATION.md and
gsd-core/references/planning-config.md, and the config-field-docs parity
test asserts each in both so the two cannot drift.

* refactor(#3648): extract isValidProtectedBranches for cross-surface pinning

The `git.protected_branches` check inside `cmdConfigSet` and the resolver's
per-entry filter in `git-base-branch.cts` are deliberately different shapes —
all-or-nothing on write, per-entry on read, so a hand-edited config.json cannot
fail the guard open. Nothing structural keeps their two definitions of "usable
branch name" in step.

Lifting the write-side check into a named, exported predicate lets a property
test ask both surfaces about the same value and assert they agree, which is the
fast-check gap the round-2 review flagged. No behaviour change: the predicate is
the same expression, called from the same place.

* fix(#3648): stop --is-protected rewriting the config it is asking about

`gsd_run query git.base-branch --is-protected` runs on every execute-phase and
every ship. It resolved config through `loadConfig`, whose normalize-then-write
path rewrites `.planning/config.json` whenever any legacy key normalizes — so a
boolean question was silently editing the user's checked-in config. This PR had
widened the trigger by adding a fifth normalization block (top-level
`base_branch` -> `git.base_branch`), making it fire for exactly the projects the
feature targets.

`loadConfigResolved` gains `options.persist` (opt-OUT, default true): resolution
is unchanged, only the two write-back side effects are suppressed. The predicate
passes `persist: false`; the ~30 other callers are untouched, so a legacy config
is still migrated by ordinary use.

Asserted on BYTES rather than parsed shape, because the rewrite reorders keys and
reflows whitespace even when the values are equivalent. Three tests, each with
its own control: the end-to-end CLI leaves the file byte-identical while still
answering `true` from the legacy key (proving the config WAS read); an ordinary
persisting load of the same fixture DOES change the bytes (proving the fixture
is live rather than inert); and `persist:false` vs default over one directory
returns deep-equal config while differing on the write. Reverting the one-line
`persist: false` fails the first of those and only that one.

Also from the review:

- `readEffectiveGitConfig`'s comment claimed the readFile branch routed "through
  the same precedence authority production uses". It does not, and cannot — it
  reproduces two of production's steps over a single file. The comment now names
  what the seam covers and what it does NOT (root/workstream deep merge, builtin
  and global defaults, federated merge), and the seam now applies production's
  flat-then-nested lookup so it stops disagreeing about a surviving flat key.

- The missing-argument diagnostic promised "answering false", which the
  fail-closed guard on the same call can contradict by printing `true`. It now
  states what it did with the argument and leaves the answer to stdout.

* test(#3648): re-pin block 5 on #3760's refusal contract

#3767 landed on next while this PR was in review and fixed the non-object
config-section defect properly: a present-but-non-object section now BLOCKS its
own migration — value preserved, no Normalization pushed, refusal reported via
`skipped[]` — rather than being rebuilt from a plain-object view. That supersedes
this branch's round-2 `hoistLegacyKey`, which prevented the character-key spread
but still dropped the section value silently, and which the round-3 review
correctly called out as destruction in place of corruption. The rebase drops that
commit and routes block 5 through the upstream helper.

This file's tests asserted the superseded design, so they are rewritten to pin
block 5 — `base_branch` -> `git.base_branch`, which did not exist when #3760's
suite was written — against the contract that now governs it: ordinary hoist into
an absent/null/object section, canonical-nested-wins, and refusal for each of
string/number/boolean/array sections with the exact `skipped` entry.

Two controls keep it from passing vacuously: the refusal must be scoped to block
5 (an unrelated block still normalizes in the same call), and a property over
arbitrary `git` values asserts hoist and refusal are exhaustive AND mutually
exclusive per key, that a refusal leaves both the section and the legacy key
untouched, and that a hoist manufactures no index key the input did not carry.

* docs(#3648): correct the Git Query and Config Loader module contracts

CONTEXT.md's Git Query Module still described base-branch tier 1 as a direct
`.planning/config.json` read. Since this PR it is the EFFECTIVE configuration
resolved by the Config Loader — a materially different authority, carrying the
root/workstream deep merge, flat-then-nested lookup and builtin/federated
defaults. The `--is-protected` predicate, `git.protected_branches`, and the two
invariants that distinguish the predicate from the plain query (fails closed on
an unverified base; must not write) were undocumented entirely.

The Config Loader entry now states that loading is not side-effect-free by
default and documents `options.persist`.

docs/INVENTORY.md's `git-base-branch.cjs` row carried the same stale ladder and
no mention of the predicate. `node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write`
was run and produced no diff: the manifest indexes roster NAMES, not row prose,
so a description edit cannot move it.

Also closes the global-defaults minor: `git.protected_branches` is inert in
`~/.gsd/defaults.json`, but so is every other `git.*` key — no branch-policy key
appears in `_globalBaseCfg` or `GLOBAL_DEFAULTS_RESOLUTION_KEYS`. That is
section-wide and predates this PR, so the fix is to state the scope where users
meet it rather than to quietly extend the resolution set for two new keys.

* fix(#3648): close four defects found by the round-4 external review

Two external reviewers (codex, antigravity/Gemini 3.1 Pro) were run adversarially
against this branch. Four findings reproduced against source; each is fixed with a
failing-first test and a control, and each fix was verified by reverting it and
watching exactly the intended test fail.

1. `persist:false` was DROPPED by the workstream fallback (codex). Blocker 1 was
   only half closed. `loadConfigResolved` re-enters itself with a bare
   `{ workstream: null }` when a workstream has no config.json of its own, and
   that literal discarded every other option — so the recursive pass ran at the
   DEFAULT persistence and rewrote the ROOT config. Reproduced: with
   GSD_WORKSTREAM=alpha and a legacy flat `base_branch`, `--is-protected`
   rewrote `.planning/config.json` despite `persist:false`. Both recursions now
   forward `options` and override only `workstream`; the explicit override still
   wins the hasOwnProperty check, so spreading cannot let `workstreamContext`
   reintroduce a workstream.

2. Both workflow call sites failed OPEN, and aborted under `set -e` (both
   reviewers, independently). `IS_PROTECTED=$(gsd_run ...)` yields an empty
   string when the query fails, so `[ "$X" = true ]` was simply false: no
   warning, no trace — a silent hole in the guard whose only job is to warn. The
   bare assignment also aborted the step under `set -e`. Both sites now degrade
   VISIBLY: `|| IS_PROTECTED=""`, then an explicit empty-string arm that says the
   check did not run. Deliberately not fail-closed — claiming "protected" on no
   evidence would warn on every branch whenever gsd-tools is unavailable.

3. `isValidProtectedBranches` and the resolver disagreed on a sparse array
   (antigravity). `.every()` skips holes; the resolver's `for...of` yields
   `undefined` for them, so `["main", , "develop"]` was accepted by config-set
   and rejected by the resolver. The cross-surface property passed only because
   `fc.array` cannot generate a hole. The predicate now indexes, and the
   generator punches holes so that axis is actually falsifiable. JSON cannot
   express a hole, so this is unreachable in production — but two definitions of
   one predicate must not contradict each other.

4. A top-level `protected_branches` silently outranked `git.protected_branches`
   (antigravity). Routing the key through `get(key, {section, field})` gave it
   flat-then-nested precedence, which is back-compat for keys
   `normalizeLegacyKeys` migrates. `protected_branches` is new in #3552 and has
   no legacy form, so that invented an undocumented alias. It now resolves
   nested-only through a new `getNested`, in production and in the test seam.
   `base_branch` keeps flat-then-nested — it HAS a legacy spelling that #3760's
   refusal path can leave behind — and a control pins that distinction.

Also narrows a CONTEXT.md claim this round introduced. The predicate fails closed
only when a git query TIMED OUT or could not be spawned (#3057 B4's `verified`);
a git command that runs and exits non-zero counts as a clean negative, so a cwd
that is not a repository answers `false`, not `true`. Verified pre-existing on
next @ 738f42f4, so the documentation was over-claiming rather than the code
regressing — but an over-broad contract is exactly what the module docs must not
carry.

Both workflow byte figures re-derived after the call-site change:
execute-phase.md 92356 -> 92865 (+509), ship.md 36784 -> 37227 (+443).

* test(#3648): pin git config read parity

* docs(#3648): document git query contracts

* fix(#3648): expose protected branch default

* test(#3648): snapshot planning tree for read-only query

* test(#3648): pin planning snapshot stray-write detection

* fix(#3648): resolve merge conflict from #3078's ack-fragment sweep

next swept the fully-spent 2818/3003 ack fragments this branch had
appended to (#3078, a84f7563). Rebased onto upstream/next and took
the deletions on both, then moved the #3552 append into a new
fragment of its own.

Rebasing onto the current base also left execute-phase.md only 34
bytes under the frozen ADR-857 Phase 6 margin ceiling (93400 bytes) —
intervening next PRs consumed the rest while this PR was in review.
Extracted the "none" arm's protected-branch-warning bash block into
gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md (content
unchanged, matching the existing steps/ extraction pattern used
elsewhere in this file) so the inline growth is a one-line pointer
instead of the full block. 93366 -> 93385 bytes (+19), 15 bytes
inside the ceiling.

* fix(#3648): drop stale ack entry for the new step file

The extracted execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md needed no
acknowledgment of its own — the differential-attribution check flagged
the entry as stale once the build ran, so removed it and kept the two
growth entries (execute-phase.md, ship.md) that actually needed one.

* fix(#3648): follow the step-file reference in the bash-extraction test helper

extractProtectedBranchWarningBash() read the "none" arm's bash block
directly out of execute-phase.md. That block now lives in
execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md (byte-ceiling extraction);
the helper follows the step-file reference and extracts from there
when no inline block is found, so the three execute-phase tests that
execute this bash for real keep exercising the actual behavior.

* fix(#3648): regenerate INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json and satisfy the CRLF-fragile lint rule

- gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write to pick up the new
  execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md entry (already covered by
  docs/INVENTORY.md's generic workflow_steps wildcard row, so no
  INVENTORY.md edit is needed).
- Reworked the step-file-reference lookup in
  extractProtectedBranchWarningBash() to avoid a bare-\n regex split
  on file content (local/no-crlf-fragile-split), using the same
  line-array scan the function already uses elsewhere.

* fix(#3648): regenerate golden install-tree fixtures for the new step file

npm run gen:install-tree, adding gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase/
steps/protected-branch.md to all 19 runtime install-tree fixtures.
CI's tests/golden-install-tree.test.cjs caught this on push — I'd
verified the differential-attribution and INVENTORY-MANIFEST checks
but missed this separate golden-fixture check for the new file.

* fix(#3648): add the canonical gsd_run preamble to the new step file

CI's runtime-launcher-parity suite requires exactly one canonical
resolver preamble in every workflow .md that calls gsd_run. The
inline "none"-arm block never needed one (execute-phase.md already
carried a preamble elsewhere in the same file), but the extracted
execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md is now its own file with no
preamble of its own. Ran node scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs to
insert it (execute-phase.md itself is untouched — still 93385 bytes,
inside the ADR-857 ceiling).

That preamble defines its own gsd_run(), which shadows the mock
tests/git-base-branch.test.cjs injects for the three #3648 tests that
execute this bash for real — without stripping it, those tests reached
the real gsd-tools.cjs on the machine running them instead of the
test's fixture. Preamble correctness is already covered by
tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs, so extractProtectedBranchWarningBash()
now strips the preamble line before handing the block to the harness;
it only needs to exercise the #3552 warning logic.

* fix(#3552): address PR 3648 review feedback on protected branch warnings

- Fix execute-phase handle_branching branching_strategy=none instruction
  to "Read and execute execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md"
- Use io.error(..., ERROR_REASON.USAGE) for cmdGitBaseBranch usage errors
- Align git.protected_branches schema default to (none) without fallback []
- Relocate CONTEXT.md forward-referencing sentence into module body
- Sanitize control and ANSI characters in renderRejected diagnostics
- Clean up out-of-scope whitespace hunks in gsd-tools.cjs

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-phase.md — #3552: execute-phase handle_branching adds a pointer to execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md for branching_strategy=none so the protected-branch check executes while keeping execute-phase.md within the ADR-857 Phase 6 margin ceiling (93400 bytes). 93392 bytes, 8 bytes inside the ceiling.
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: ship.md — #3552: ship preflight step 3 now asks the same typed git.base-branch --is-protected predicate as execute-phase, binding IS_PROTECTED and warning without refusing execution or blocking the branching_strategy=none feature-branch offer; it degrades visibly (rather than silently reading an empty result as "not protected") when the query itself fails to run. 36841 bytes, well inside the XL cap (98304, tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs).

Raw Blame History

GSD Shipped Surface Inventory

Authoritative roster of every shipped GSD surface: commands, agents, workflows, references, CLI modules, and hooks. Where the broad docs (AGENTS.md, COMMANDS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CLI-TOOLS.md) diverge from the filesystem, treat this file and the repository tree itself as the source of truth.

How To Use This File

  • The machine-readable roster lives in docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (regenerated by scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write). For live counts, run ls agents/gsd-*.md | wc -l etc. against the checkout.
  • This file enumerates every shipped surface across all six families (agents, commands, workflows, references, CLI modules, hooks). Broad docs may render narrative or curated subsets; when they disagree with the filesystem, this file and the directory listings are authoritative.
  • New surfaces should land here first, then propagate to the broad docs. tests/inventory-manifest-sync.test.cjs anchors both halves: the manifest against the filesystem, and this file's rows against the manifest (#3762). The second half cannot be regenerated — a role sentence is hand-written by design, so re-running gen-inventory-manifest.cjs never clears it.

This is the authoritative roster of every shipped GSD Core surface. See the docs index to navigate by topic.


Agents

Full roster at agents/gsd-*.md. The "Primary doc" column flags whether docs/AGENTS.md carries a full role card (primary), a short stub in the "Advanced and Specialized Agents" section (advanced stub), or no coverage (inventory only).

Commands

Full roster at commands/gsd/*.md. The groupings below mirror docs/COMMANDS.md section order; each row carries the command name, a one-line role derived from the command's frontmatter description:, and a link to the source file. tests/command-count-sync.test.cjs locks the count against the filesystem.

Namespace Meta-Skills

These six routers are descriptor-only entries that the model picks first; the body of each contains a routing table that points at the correct concrete sub-skill. They exist to keep the eager skill-listing token cost low while the full surface remains reachable. See #2792 for the rationale; the routing tables target the post-#2790 consolidated surface.

Note: Some workflows have no direct user-facing command (e.g. execute-plan.md, transition.md, node-repair.md, diagnose-issues.md) — they are invoked internally by orchestrator workflows. (The former verify-phase workflow — goal-backward verification with no loader of its own — was deleted in #1892; its still-live gates moved to references/verifier-phase-gates.md behind gsd-verifier.)

Workflow Sub-Files

A workflow may own two kinds of sub-file. Both live under gsd-core/workflows/<workflow>/ and neither is separately invocable — the parent workflow reaches them.

Subdirectory What it holds Manifest family Roster
<workflow>/steps/*.md Gated section bodies extracted by the fragment model (ADR-1671, epic #1671 Phases 6.1–6.3). The parent carries a section_manifest-gated stub; gsd-core/workflows/section-manifest.json names which step a given invocation reads. workflow_steps See docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json for the authoritative per-file list
<workflow>/modes/*.md Progressive-disclosure mode files (#717). The parent dispatches to exactly one; discuss-phase/modes/ is the canonical example. workflow_modes discuss-phase, help

Both families are keyed by <workflow>/<subdir>/<file>.md rather than a bare filename, because two workflows may each own a step of the same name — families.workflows uses bare basenames and cannot represent these without collision.

Adding a step or mode file requires no hand-written row here. Run node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write (after build:lib) and the manifest picks it up; tests/inventory-manifest-sync.test.cjs fails if you forget. The per-file roster deliberately lives in docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json rather than being duplicated in this table — 60 rows that must be hand-maintained in lockstep with a generated artifact is the drift this file exists to catch.

scout-codebase.md Phase-type→codebase-map selection table for discuss-phase scout step (extracted via the discuss-phase/modes progressive-disclosure split, #717).
revision-loop.md Plan revision iteration patterns.
reviewer-instances.md Custom reviewer instances for /gsd-review (#1517) — same-adapter multi-model review: config shape, resolution rules, invocation, and the REVIEWS.md contract. Lazily loaded by review.md when review.reviewer_instances is configured.
universal-anti-patterns.md Universal anti-patterns to detect and avoid.
worktree-branch-check.md Canonical spawn-time worktree HEAD/base guard (worktree_branch_check): verify-only and fail-closed — per-agent-branch assertion, protected-ref refusal (#2924), and an exact-base assertion that halts with exit 42 on mismatch so the orchestrator (worktree lifecycle owner) performs recovery (#48). Embedded into worktree sub-agent prompts at dispatch.
runtime-aware-dispatch.md Runtime-aware subagent dispatch protocol (#2508 Phase 4 Option A): before any Agent(subagent_type="gsd-*") call, resolve the type via gsd_run query resolve-dispatch-type --requested <name> --raw. On named-dispatch runtimes (Claude/OpenCode/…) the name is returned unchanged; on built-in-only runtimes (kimi-code) it maps to coder/explore/plan by role-suffix. The persona rides ${AGENT_SKILLS_<ROLE>} (Phase 3) regardless. Documents why a PreToolUse-remap hook (the epic's original Option B) is infeasible — Kimi Code's hook API supports only allow/deny, not tool_input rewriting.
dispatch-isolation-gate.md Canonical gate deciding whether a dispatch site may run an agent isolated (#2584/#2652): resolves ISOLATION from the negotiated dispatch.isolation capability — never from a runtime id — fails closed to none, resolves the host's declared harnessFlag instead of hardcoding Claude Code's isolation="worktree" literal, and degrades single-agent sites to sequential on orchestrator-worktree hosts. Read by quick.md, diagnose-issues.md, and execute-plan.md.
worktree-path-safety.md Worktree guard suite: HEAD assertion, cwd-drift sentinel (step 0a, #3097), and absolute-path guard (step 0b, #3099) — loaded into executor spawn prompts via <execution_context>.
untrusted-input-boundary.md Shared prompt-injection boundary (#1577) @-included by the 10 research/doc-ingest agents (gsd-project-researcher, gsd-phase-researcher, gsd-ui-researcher, gsd-assumptions-analyzer, gsd-advisor-researcher, gsd-doc-classifier, gsd-doc-synthesizer, gsd-research-synthesizer, gsd-ai-researcher, gsd-domain-researcher): treat fetched/read text as data-not-instructions, self-scan before use (PromptArmor 2507.15219), task-anchor (2504.20472), and fence quoted text with a fresh random delimiter per wrap (PPA 2506.05739). Prompt-level defense-in-depth (2503.00061); the hook scanner is a separate pattern pre-filter.

execute-mvp-tdd.md Runtime gate semantics for execute-phase under MVP+TDD — pre-task failing-test verification, end-of-phase blocking review.
mvp-concepts.md Cross-reference index for the six MVP-related reference files; maps each file to its purpose and which workflow loads it.

active-workstream-store.cjs Workstream source precedence and selection (CLI --ws > GSD_WORKSTREAM env > stored pointer); name validation and environment propagation
adapter-declarative.cjs Declarative host-integration adapter — projects workflow artifacts through the install engine for hosts that declare a descriptor-driven surface (#1680)
adapter-imperative.cjs Imperative host-integration adapter — binds the composed capability registry in-process for hosts that drive emission themselves (#1680)
adr-parser.cjs ADR decision parser for plan-phase ingest express path; normalizes section synonyms, parses status/decision/scope fences, and enforces status rejection gates
agent-command-router.cjs Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for gsd-tools agent
agent-install-check.cjs Agent-installation probe — owns getAgentsDir and checkAgentsInstalled, the single resolution the health-diagnostic agent-install rule consumes (ADR-857, #1268)
health-diagnostic-rules/agent-install.cjs Health-diagnostic rule: agent-installation-completeness check (W010) — the single checkAgentsInstalled call site's four mutually exclusive conditions, ported behavior-preserving from cmdValidateHealth (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309)
api-coverage.cjs API-coverage detector + matrix validator (#1562, #2365) — pure detectApiIntegration (fail-closed: same-clause verb+noun signal + <Service> API/SDK surface naming a real service; strips fenced code, inline code, and path-shaped tokens; external hosts count, first-party route paths do not) and validateCoverageMatrix/parseCoverageMatrix/renderCoverageMatrix for the COVERAGE.md artifact (incl. the No external API integration: <reason> declaration); STDIN CLI (echo "$SCOPE" | node .../api-coverage.cjs [--json], exit 0=detected/1=none/NO_INPUT=empty-or-whitespace-only stdin/UNAVAILABLE=stdin read failed — registry codes, ADR-3889 Phase 3, #3907); consumed by the ai-integration capability's plan:pre contribution and blocking verify:pre gate (check api-coverage.verify-pre)
artifacts.cjs Canonical artifact registry — known .planning/ root file names; used by gsd-health W019 lint
assumption-delta.cjs Detects identity-model assumption transitions in phase text for discuss-phase assumptions mode (#1561); STDIN CLI (echo "$PHASE_SECTION" | node .../assumption-delta.cjs [--json], exit 0=detected/1=none/NO_INPUT=empty-or-whitespace-only stdin/UNAVAILABLE=stdin read failed — registry codes, ADR-3889 Phase 3, #3907)
audit-command-router.cjs ADR-959 capability command router for gsd-tools audit-uat and gsd-tools audit-open — extracted from hardcoded cases in gsd-tools.cjs; dispatches to uat.cjs:cmdAuditUat and audit.cjs:{auditOpenArtifacts,formatAuditReport}; phase 4d-impl-3
audit.cjs Audit dispatch, audit open sessions, audit storage helpers
capability-activation.cjs Capability activation resolver shared by config validation and capability-state consumers — resolves registry-owned config keys from raw runtime config without re-centralizing migrated settings
capability-command-router.cjs ADR-2346 P2 host command router for gsd-tools capability — relocated verbatim from the former 706-line case 'capability': arm in gsd-tools.cjs; dispatched via HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS in runCommand's default case; wires capability-lifecycle/-trust/-consent/-state/-writer; hand-authored CJS (sibling of ensure-runtime-build.cjs)
capability-consent.cjs User-owned capability consent store (#1459) — bounded, non-throwing JSON store at ${GSD_HOME||homedir()}/.gsd/consent.json (NEVER under a repo) keyed by ${realpath(projectRoot)} <id>; exports consentStorePath/readConsentStore/hasProjectConsent (matches iff integrity AND disclosureSignature both match)/recordProjectConsent (atomic+durable write)/revokeProjectConsent; the authoritative consent signal that gates PROJECT-scope third-party capability activation so a forged/cloned project ledger no longer activates anything until the user consents on THIS machine
capability-lock.cjs Shared cross-process lock primitive (#1459 finding 4) — the SINGLE hardened lockfile protocol used by BOTH capability-lifecycle (.gsd/capabilities/.lock) and capability-consent (.consent.lock); exports acquireLock(lockPath, opts?)/releaseLock(handle) with pid + process-start-time liveness identity, a hard deadman, and token+inode owner-safe release — NEVER stale-steals a verified-live same-host holder, reclaims only a provably-dead/unverifiable holder, never deadlocks; opts.maxAttempts/opts.waitForFresh let the consent store serialize genuinely-contended writers; _setLockProbes/_resetLockProbes are test seams
capability-ledger.cjs Per-runtime install ledger (ADR-1244 D4) — atomic read/write of .gsd-capabilities.json recording { id, version, source, integrity, files[], sharedEdits[] } per installed capability; exports readLedger/writeLedger/recordInstall/removeEntry/reconcile (orphan detection)/readSmallRegularFile (utf8) + readSmallRegularFileBuffer (raw bytes, the byte-exact consent-hash reader, #1459 finding 1); atomic commit point and reconciliation basis for Phase-4 upgrade/remove
capability-lifecycle.cjs Capability lifecycle orchestration (ADR-1244 Phase 4, D5+D6) — composes the source resolver + ledger + trust gate into installCapability/upgradeCapability/removeCapability/reconcileCapabilities; ledger write is the commit point; upgrade is atomic stage-then-swap (old set aside, new swapped in, ledger committed, backup dropped) with deterministic crash recovery (reconcileCapabilities rolls forward/back to a fully-old-or-fully-new state); remove surgically strips only marker-stamped (_gsdCapability) shared-config entries, preserving user hand-edits; never executes capability code
capability-loader.cjs Runtime Capability Registry overlay (ADR-1244 D2) — loadRegistry({ includeInstalled }) composes the frozen first-party registry with a validated installed overlay read from $GSD_HOME/.gsd/capabilities/<id>/ (global) and <projectRoot>/.gsd/capabilities/<id>/ (project); first-party-wins on id/skill/agent/config collisions, reserved-namespace rejection, load-time engines.gsd re-gate (skip-with-warning), and gate-kind fail-open via _overlay.blockedGates — a loud warning (stderr + envelope warnings) naming the load failure and gsd capability remove <id> remediation; no gate injected (#2009); composes through the canonical buildRegistry so derived views never drift
capability-registry.cjs Generated central Capability Registry — role-partitioned index of all co-located capability declarations (capabilities/<id>/capability.json); emitted by scripts/gen-capability-registry.cjs --write (ADR-894 §5)
capability-source.cjs Capability source resolver (ADR-1244 D3) — resolveCapabilitySource(spec, opts) fetches and stages a capability from local path, git (https/ssh/git transports only), npm pack (no lifecycle scripts), tarball (sha512 integrity verify before extraction), or registry (stub); tar-slip/symlink rejection; atomic staging to $GSD_HOME/.gsd/capabilities/<id>/; no capability code executes during install
capability-state.cjs Unified capability-state resolver (ADR-857 phase 4b/6) — composes install profile, runtime surface, and config activation into one per-capability view consumed by workflow hook rendering; exports pure resolveCapabilityState, reusable resolveCapabilityRuntimeState, and I/O handler cmdCapabilityState; command surface: gsd-tools capability state [--config-dir <path>] emitting { runtimeConfigDir, capabilities[] }
capability-trust.cjs Capability trust gate (ADR-1244 Phase 4, D5 + compatibility half of D6) — PURE policy module: discloseExecutableSurfaces (hooks/command modules/mcpServers), evaluateInstallTrust (compose source policy + reserved-namespace + engines gate + disclosure → allowed/requiresConsent/blockReasons), evaluateSourceAllowed (strict_known_registries: permissive/lockdown/host-allowlist), checkEngines (engines.gsd hard gate + compatVersions graceful-downgrade), executableSetChanged (auto-update re-consent trigger); no sandbox — see docs/explanation/capability-trust-model.md
capability-validator.cjs Shared runtime-callable capability validator (ADR-1244 D2) — extracted from scripts/gen-capability-registry.cjs so the build-time generator and the runtime overlay loader share ONE validation implementation (generative-parity guarded); exports validateCapability/validateCrossCapability/validateVersionEnvelope/validateConsumesGlobal/… plus the closed-vocabulary sets and SEMVER_RE
broken-windows.cjs Broken-windows ledger library (issue #1950) — typed IR + I/O for .planning/WINDOWS.md (cross-phase defect register); pure parseLedger/renderLedger/appendWindow/markWaived/markFixed/openCount + I/O cmdWindowsStatus/cmdWindowsAppend/cmdWindowsWaive/cmdWindowsMarkFixed; frozen REASON enum for typed-error assertions; CLI surface gsd-tools windows status|append|waive|fixed. Generated from src/broken-windows.cts
capability-writer.cjs Capability State Writer (ADR-1213) — write-side inverse of the resolver; projects desired per-capability enabled/gates onto surface + config substrates, then re-resolves (assert-and-report); exports setCapabilityState and I/O handler cmdCapabilitySet; command surface: gsd-tools capability set <id> [--on|--off] [--gate <key>=<true|false>]
check-command-router.cjs Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for gsd-tools check
claude-orchestration-command-router.cjs ADR-959 capability command router for Claude orchestration — workflow-backend detection and emission (#1143)
claude-orchestration.cjs Claude Orchestration capability (#1143) — Workflow-tool backend detection + emitter; detectWorkflowBackend fail-closed gate ({available, backend: 'workflow'|'inline', reason}, degrades to today's inline behavior unless every gate opens) and emitWorkflowScript (maps GSD's wave/plan model onto Workflow primitives: wave → sequential parallel() barriers, plan → agent(...) with per-plan worktree isolation mirroring the inline path). Pure, zero external dependencies, never throws; never invokes the Workflow tool itself
cli-exit.cjs ExitError class and runMain() helper — CLI entrypoints throw ExitError instead of calling process.exit(); runMain() translates the outcome into process.exitCode so output flushes cleanly
cjs-command-router-adapter.cjs Shared compatibility adapter for manifest-backed CJS command-family routers
cli-skew-check.cjs Detects version skew when a stale global CLI shadows the project-local install (#1754)
host-integration-adapters/cline-sdk-binding.cjs Cline SDK binding — pure AgentPlugin beforeTool planning-artifact guard and createAgentModel model-override resolution adapters, no @cline/sdk import (ADR-1239 Phase D, #2090)
clock.cjs Injectable clock seam (now/sleep) for deterministic lock testing
clusters.cjs Skill cluster definitions for the runtime surface module (ADR-0011 Phase 2)
code-review-depth.cjs Pure resolver for a code review's depth tier (#2554); exports resolveCodeReviewDepth({ flagDepth, configDepth, overrides, files, repoRoot }) (→ { ok, depth, resolvedDepth, source, matchedRule, downgraded, fileCount } or { ok: false, errors }), the frozen REASON enum, DEPTH_TIERS, LARGE_SCOPE_THRESHOLD, and the matching primitives normalizeRelPath/ruleMatchesFile; resolves --depth= flag → strongest matching workflow.code_review_depth_overrides rule (segment-aware path prefix, no globs) → workflow.code_review_depth → standard, and owns the >50-file deep→standard downgrade
code-review-flags.cjs Typed flag parser for /gsd-code-review; exports parseCodeReviewFlags(argv) (→ { fix, all, auto, depth, files }) and resolveCodeReviewWorkflow(flags) (→ 'code-review.md' | 'code-review-fix.md'); canonical dispatch seam for --fix/--all/--auto routing
codex-agent-toml.cjs Typed IR (genuine leaf) for ~/.codex/agents/<agent>.toml — parseCodexAgentToml/renderCodexAgentToml round-trip byte-identically; stripModel/stripReasoningEffort remove exactly one targeted line; scanTomlLines/stripBOM/findDeveloperInstructionsBlockRange/unquoteTomlValue are the lenient reader primitives moved here from agent-install-check.cjs (#3242 Phase 2); consumed by the Codex .toml sync (commands.cjs cmdEffortSyncCodex, ADR-2313 D7, #3243)
command-aliases.cjs Alias/subcommand metadata for manifest-backed family routers
commonjs-marker.cjs Ownership-guarded {"type":"commonjs"} marker used to pin GSD's staged .js scripts to CommonJS; exports classifyMarker (absent/gsd-owned/foreign, fail-closed), ensureCommonJsMarker, and removeCommonJsMarker so install and uninstall share one predicate and never touch a user-authored package.json (#2544)
command-arg-projection.cjs Strict, Result-returning flag and positional argument projection helpers shared across command-family routers — parseNamedArgs rejects unrecognized flags and stray positionals instead of silently dropping them (ADR-3473 §8.4, #3884). Generated from src/command-arg-projection.cts
command-roster.cjs Read-only discovery of canonical commands/gsd/*.md command stems for runtime artifact conversion and namespace rewrites
command-routing-hub.cjs Pure-result dispatch hub that centralizes mode decision (SDK vs CJS), error taxonomy, and no-throw contract for all command-family routers (#3788)
commands.cjs Misc CLI commands (slug, timestamp, todos, scaffolding, stats)
complexity-trigger.cjs Pure leaf for the complexity-triggered refactor capability — analyzer, evaluator, and baseline persistence; wrapped by refactor-trigger-command-router.cjs (#1953)
config-loader.cjs Project config loading — defaults merge, legacy-key migration, workstream overlay, unknown-key/profile-override validation (extracted from core.cjs, ADR-857)
config-schema.cjs Single source of truth for VALID_CONFIG_KEYS and dynamic key patterns; imported by both the validator and the config-schema-docs parity test
config-types.cjs TypeScript type definitions for the model_policy config block — ModelPolicyConfig, TierEntry, RuntimeTiers; compiled from src/config-types.cts at publish time (ADR-457)
health-diagnostic-rules/config-validation.cjs Health-diagnostic rules: config.json validation checks (W003, W004, W022, E005, W008, W012-W016), reading only snapshot.config, ported behavior-preserving from cmdValidateHealth (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309)
config.cjs config.json read/write, section initialization; imports validator from config-schema.cjs
configuration.cjs Configuration Module — legacy-key normalization, defaults merge, and explicit on-disk migration; pure normalization primitives consumed by config-loader.cjs and config-schema.cjs (loadConfig extracted to config-loader per ADR-857 #885)
health-diagnostic-rules/consistency.cjs Health-diagnostic rules for validate.consistency only (C001-C004: gap in disk phase numbering, gap in plan numbering within a phase, orphan SUMMARY with no matching live PLAN, PLAN missing wave frontmatter) — a new C0NN code namespace parallel to validate.health's E/W/I space, ported behavior-preserving from cmdValidateConsistency (ADR-3180 §8.4, Phase 12, #3310)
context-composer.cjs Shared budget-composition seam (ADR-1671, #2929) — composeWithinBudget trims an ordered fragment list to a measured budget and returns a PLAN of surviving fragments, never rendered text, so one seam serves both the review pipeline and per-runtime emission. Closed strategy set: verbatim, head-shrink, proportional-truncate (with a per-fragment floor), drop. The budget unit is injected via measure(text) — tokens for prompt-budget, bytes for emission — with charsPerUnit as its inverse. Also exports headShrink/tailTruncate. Compiled from src/context-composer.cts
context-predicates.cjs CONTEXT.md predicate fact-store parser (ADR-1671, #2928) — pure parsePredicates (extracts every backtick-wrapped CLASS.subkey=value declaration, fence/HTML-comment-aware), selectPredicates (class/prefix/contains selectors, ANDed), and buildIndex (deterministic, line-free artifact shape); backs both gsd_run query context-predicates and scripts/gen-context-index.cjs's docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json drift guard. Compiled from src/context-predicates.cts
context-utilization.cjs Pure classifier for gsd-health --context — turns (tokensUsed, contextWindow) into a { percent, state } triage result against the 60%/70% fracture-point thresholds (#2792)
core-utils.cjs Shared low-level utilities — POSIX path normalization, sub-repo/subdirectory scanning, phase file stats, slug/one-liner/plan-id helpers, time-ago (extracted from core.cjs, ADR-857)
core.cjs Shared utilities and runtime fallbacks; compatibility re-exports for planning-workspace and I/O (io.cjs) helpers
coverage.cjs Deterministic SUMMARY coverage: block parser/validator/classifier for gsd-tools uat classify-coverage; routes deliverables to auto-pass vs human-UAT with a fail-safe default (#1602)
decisions.cjs Parses CONTEXT.md <decisions> blocks; accepts numeric (D-42) and alphanumeric (D-INFRA-01) IDs; returns {id, text, category, tags, trackable}
docs.cjs Docs-update workflow init, Markdown scanning, monorepo detection
drift.cjs Post-execute codebase structural drift detector (#2003): classifies file changes into new-dir/barrel/migration/route categories and round-trips last_mapped_commit frontmatter
edge-probe.cjs Spec-completeness edge probe (compiled from src/edge-probe.cts, gitignored) — the first adapter of the probe-core resolution model (ADR-550 Decision 7): shape classification, applicable-category relevance filter, edge proposal, and the {explicit, backstop} verification validators; delegates merge/rollup/CLI to probe-core; exports classifyShape, applicableCategories, proposeEdges, analyzeCoverage, validateResolution, TAXONOMY (#550)
embedding-adapter.cjs Defines the minimal HostIntegrationInterface contract every embedding adapter implements (#1680)
eval-command-router.cjs Routes the eval.score verb (compiled from src/eval-command-router.cts, gitignored) — thin dispatcher into the eval scoring module (#1579)
eval.cjs Deterministic eval scoring (compiled from src/eval.cts, gitignored) — computeEvalScore (coverage0.6 + infra0.4, bands 80/60/40) + cmdEvalScore CLI domain guard; moves the gsd-eval-auditor's weighted arithmetic out of the prompt into code (#10 / #1579)
estimate-cli.cjs I/O seam over phase-estimation.cjs — the estimate-check and estimate-calibration query verbs; reads the workflow.smart_zone_tokens budget and .planning/estimation-calibration.json, both degrading to defaults rather than failing planning (#2630)
exit-code-registry.cjs Generated exit-code allocator — one number, one meaning table of registered process exit codes (band rules: 2 hook-adapter only, 64-78 generic, 80-125 domain); emitted by scripts/gen-exit-code-registry.cjs --write (ADR-3889 §1/§2); exports EXIT_CODES and the pure, total exitCodeFor/nameForExitCode
observability/event.cjs DispatchEvent shape factory for every Hub dispatch — traceId/parentTraceId/command/result/timestamp record consumed by DispatchLogger (#177, ADR-0174 P1.3/P1.4)
external-descriptor-trust.cjs Defense-in-depth path-containment check for third-party plugin descriptors (#1681)
external-job.cjs Produces scheduler manifests for asynchronous external jobs; SLURM is the first backend (#1164)
fallow-runner.cjs Fallow audit adapter for /gsd-code-review: binary resolution (node_modules/.bin then PATH), actionable missing-binary errors, and structural findings normalization
federated-config.cjs Defensive merge of capability-declared config slices into the loadConfig return value — ADR-857 phase 3b; exports mergeFederatedConfig({ configSchema, isCentralKey, userConfig }) → { values, validKeys, warnings }; live for migrated Capability keys that are atomically removed from the central config schema
frontmatter.cjs YAML frontmatter CRUD operations
gap-checker.cjs Post-planning gap analysis (#2493): unified REQUIREMENTS.md + CONTEXT.md decisions vs PLAN.md coverage report (gsd-tools gap-analysis)
gate-predicate-evaluator.cjs Evaluates capability gate predicates — command-exit-zero and artifact-frontmatter (#2008)
git-base-branch.cjs Single base-branch resolver (gsd_run query git.base-branch) with full precedence ladder: effective-config override (git.base_branch, resolved through config-loader.cjs) → origin/HEAD symref → git remote show origin → local branch presence → "main". Eliminates per-workflow duplicated bash detection (#1146). Also hosts the protected-branch predicate --is-protected <branch> (#3552), which extends the resolved base branch with the optional git.protected_branches list, matches by exact name, fails closed when the base branch is unverified, and reads config with persist: false so the query never rewrites .planning/config.json
graphify.cjs Knowledge-graph build/query/status/diff for /gsd-graphify
graphify-command-router.cjs ADR-959 capability command router for gsd-tools graphify — dispatches build/query/status/diff subcommands; first real capability command cutover (phase 4d-impl-2)
gsd2-import.cjs External-plan ingest for /gsd-import --from-gsd2
handshake-serialized.cjs Serialized handshake for out-of-process host integration; JSON wire-safe (#1683)
health-diagnostic-types.cjs Shared, dependency-free SEVERITY/REMEDY_ACTION/REMEDY_RISK enums and Diagnostic/Remedy/Rule types for validate health — split out of health-diagnostic.cjs so its rule-group files can depend on the enums/types without a CJS circular require back into the evaluator (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309)
health-diagnostic.cjs Frozen rule-table contract for validate health — SEVERITY/REMEDY_ACTION/REMEDY_RISK enums, Diagnostic/Remedy/Rule shapes, the fully-wired RULES table (the static concatenation of the 31 rules exported by the eight health-diagnostic-rules/*.cjs group files), evaluateRules (throws on duplicate rule codes), and applyRepairs (the real --repair/--backfill dispatcher with real per-action handlers — refuses DESTRUCTIVE-risk remedies) (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309)
hook-bus.cjs Abstracts the hook-bus ownership model — engine pub-sub, host-owned, or none (#1680)
host-integration-sdk.cjs Versioned public API surface for external host-plugin authors (#1683)
host-integration.cjs Host-Integration Interface (ADR-1239 Phase A) — negotiated capability contract over the six host-integration points; negotiateHostCapabilities fail-closes on undeclared/unknown/undocumented values, typed degradation ladder, host-capability profiles; the 8 runtime.hostIntegration axes are validated in capability-validator.cjs and sourced per-CLI in docs/reference/host-integration-capability-matrix.md
host-runtime-detection.cjs Host Runtime Detection Module (ADR-2313 Phase 5, #3245) — the detection rung beneath GSD_RUNTIME and .planning/config.json runtime that lets init report agent_runtime: codex inside a Codex session instead of the hardcoded claude default; detectHostRuntime returns the typed {runtime, source, signal} from citation-backed Codex signals (CODEX_SANDBOX/CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED, else CODEX_HOME + config.toml), resolveReportedRuntime composes the full ladder. Pure, injectable, never writes, never shells out
host-integration-adapters/imperative-hook-bus.cjs Imperative hook-bus adapter — descriptor-driven hooks.json binding generalized from the Cursor-specific writer, resolving the negotiated hookBus axis against a host's documented hostBehaviors.managedHookEvents list; pure, no I/O (ADR-1239 Phase D, #2089)
init-command-router.cjs Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for gsd-tools init
init.cjs Compound context loading for each workflow type
install-effort-resolver.cjs Install-time effort resolution — readGsdEffectiveEffortConfig (merges ~/.gsd/defaults.json + project .planning/config.json) + resolveInstallTimeEffort, extracted from bin/install.js (#2071) so gsd-tools effort sync can require it from the shipped runtime instead of the never-copied package-root installer; install.js imports them back (single source)
install-engine.cjs Runtime-artifact install engine — installRuntimeArtifacts/uninstallRuntimeArtifacts/installOpencodeFamilySkills + their helpers, extracted from bin/install.js (ADR-1239 Phase B, #1679); install.js imports them back and injects getCommitAttribution
install-fs-adapter.cjs Install Fs Adapter — narrow, enumerated fs seam for the installRuntimeArtifacts call tree (#2874, epic #2866 Phase 5, ADR-58's never-landed cleanup rollout step); a single ambient adapter (real fs in production, an injectable fake in tests) is swapped for the duration of one synchronous install via withInstallFs, extending the deps bag precedent already established by Runtime Artifact Install Plan Module rather than threading a new parameter through every call site; routes destination IO only — package-source lookups (findInstallSourceRoot, findAgentsSourceRoot, readGsdCommandNames) are deliberately unrouted, by design, not by omission
install-model-override-resolver.cjs Install-time per-agent model-override resolution (#2256 / #2794) — model_overrides[agent] > model_profile_overrides.<runtime>.<tier> > omit, extracted from bin/install.js's inline agent-staging loop (#2875 Part 2 / J8), which duplicated this exact precedence chain across two runtime branches (OpenCode/Kilo); mirrors install-effort-resolver.cjs's existing extraction precedent so the descriptor-driven agents pipeline and bin/install.js's own callers resolve through the SAME single source of truth
install-profiles.cjs Install profile allowlist + skill staging for --minimal install (#2762); single source of truth for which gsd-* skills/agents land in runtime config dirs
install-scope.cjs Install Scope Module — resolveScope({id,runtime,...}) resolves the 'global'|'local' install-scope axis into {id, configHome, settingsFile, consentRequired, hostPrecedenceRank}, composing resolveConfigHomeFromDescriptor (runtime-homes.cjs) rather than modifying it (#2870, ADR-2866)
install-shadow-report.cjs Cross-Scope Shadow Report Module (#2873, epic #2866 Phase 4a) — read-only projection over installed-surface-resolver.cjs's resolveInstalledSurfaces; buildShadowReport(runtime, opts) filters resolveTriggerSurface's shadowedBy groups down to triggers whose underlying stem genuinely exists in BOTH scopes' own manifests (not merely the union), and renderShadowReport projects the typed IR into bounded, sanitized (sanitizeForRender strips ANSI/C0-C1/bidi overrides) operator-console lines; consumed by both the installer and the W028 health rule so install-time and /gsd-health report identically
health-diagnostic-rules/install-surface-shadowing.cjs Health-diagnostic rule: cross-scope trigger shadowing check (W028) — projects install-shadow-report.cjs's ShadowReport as a WARNING-severity, ADVISE/risk:NONE diagnostic (never auto-fixable), reusing agent-install.cjs's W010 runtime-resolution shape; degrades to [] (never throws) when nothing is installable to report (#2873, epic #2866 Phase 4a)
installed-surface-resolver.cjs Installed Surface Resolver — resolveInstalledSurfaces(runtime?, opts?) probes both install scopes for a runtime (or every registered runtime, sorted, when omitted), reads each scope's manifest, and resolves the trigger surface across only the scopes actually installed on this machine, composing resolveScope and resolveTriggerSurface rather than re-deriving either (#2872, ADR-2866 Phase 3); local-scope manifest read is lstat-guarded and refuses to follow a symlinked config dir or manifest, degrading that scope to installed: false rather than following (#2873)
installer-migration-authoring.cjs Installer migration authoring guardrails for record metadata, explicit scopes, ownership evidence, and runtime contract citations
installer-migration-report.cjs Installer migration report projection and blocked-action guard for install/update integration
installer-migrations.cjs Installer migration planning, artifact classification, install-state persistence, journaled apply, and rollback helpers
intel.cjs Codebase intel store backing /gsd-map-codebase --query and gsd-intel-updater
intel-command-router.cjs ADR-959 capability command router for gsd-tools intel — extracted from the case 'intel': arm in gsd-tools.cjs; dispatches query/status/diff/snapshot/patch-meta/validate/extract-exports/update/api-surface subcommands; preserves timeAgo transform on status.files[*].updated_at in non-raw mode; phase 4d-impl-4 (last first-party cutover)
io.cjs CLI I/O primitives — output/error emission, JSON-error mode, and large-payload temp-file spillover (extracted from core.cjs, ADR-857)
learnings.cjs Cross-phase learnings extraction for /gsd-extract-learnings
legacy-cleanup.cjs Detect and remove leftover get-shit-done-cc artifacts; exports planLegacyCleanup (pure scan) and applyLegacyCleanup (thin IO applier) that root out stale files from the old package across every GSD-managed runtime config directory (#607)
observability/logger.cjs DispatchLogger interface + default implementation — silent on success, structured stderr JSON on error, opt-in .gsd-trace.jsonl audit file (GSD_AUDIT=1), args omitted unless GSD_AUDIT_ARGS=1 (#177, ADR-0174 P1.3)
loop-host-contract.cjs Generated Loop Host Contract — 12 loop points, per-step agent roles, and core artifacts for the five-step pipeline (discuss/plan/execute/verify/ship); emitted by scripts/gen-loop-host-contract.cjs --write (ADR-894 §3); consumed by gen-capability-registry.cjs
loop-resolver.cjs Loop Extension Point resolver — ADR-857 phase 3c/6 registry-consuming query; given a canonical loop point, filters byLoopPoint by resolved Capability State plus config activation (when key traversal with prototype-pollution guard), returns { point, activeHooks, rendered } envelope; resolveLoopHooks and renderLoopHooks are pure (no I/O); command surface: gsd-tools loop render-hooks <point> [--config-dir <path>]
markdown-sectionizer.cjs Canonical markdown-structure parsing seam (ADR-1372, epic #1372) — pure, Node built-ins only; exports stripFencedCode (CommonMark-correct fence stripper, CRLF-safe), stripInlineCode (per-line CommonMark inline-code-span stripper, #2365), tokenizeHeadings (ATX headings outside fenced blocks), collectSections/collectSection (line-by-line section collection with bodyStart/bodyEnd offsets), iterateBullets (dash/checkbox/numbered markers), extractTaggedBlocks (inner text of <tag>…</tag> blocks, caller decides fence-stripping), replaceSection (pure character-offset body splice for read-modify-write callers), and withSection (resolve a section by heading/predicate and run an edit callback against ONLY its body, splicing the result back — ADR-2143 §4 bounded mutation); foundation for T0–T7 migration tiers retiring 8+ ad-hoc parsers
markdown-table.cjs Canonical GFM table model + TABLE_SCHEMAS registry seam (ADR-2143, epic #2143) — pure, Node built-ins only; exports parseMarkdownTable(sectionText) → Result<MarkdownTable> (parses the first GFM pipe table, typed parse errors for ragged/malformed rows rather than silent coercion), MarkdownTable ({columns, rows}, rows addressed by column name), Result<T> ({ok:true,value}|{ok:false,reason} — distinct from command-routing-hub's dispatch Result), TABLE_SCHEMAS (canonical column-header variants for RoadmapProgress/RequirementsTraceability/QuickTasks/Security tables), and matchTableSchema(columns) → {id,label}|null (resolves parsed headers back to a canonical schema); consumed by phase-lifecycle.cts's deriveProgressFromRoadmap (fixes #2137, the 5-column milestone-grouped Progress table)
mcp-catalog.cjs Serves GSD workflows, references, and commands as MCP resources and prompts (#3072)
mcp-server.cjs Minimal MCP server exposing the command surface and state IO to any MCP host (#1681)
health-diagnostic-rules/milestone-archive-hygiene.cjs Health-diagnostic rules: milestone archive + root hygiene checks (W018, W019), ported behavior-preserving from cmdValidateHealth (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309)
milestone.cjs Milestone archival, requirements marking
model-adapter.cjs Abstracts model routing — passive tier-based selection or active host-supplied resolution (#1680)
model-catalog.cjs CJS adapter over the shared model catalog JSON; exports canonical runtime tier defaults, agent profile maps, alias maps, and routing metadata for all CLI consumers
model-profiles.cjs Backward-compatible profile helpers derived from model-catalog.cjs; no longer owns its own model table
model-resolver.cjs Model/effort resolution policy — resolves model, tier, granularity, effort, and fast-mode for an agent from config + model profiles/catalog (extracted from core.cjs, ADR-857)
onboard-projection.cjs Projects the onboarding situation from docs, package, and codebase-map readiness (#1671)
package-identity.cjs Generated single source for GSD's published-package coordinates (npm name, bin name, repo slug, changelog URL, manual-install command), derived from package.json; read by the update worker, check-latest-version, and installer (#498)
package-legitimacy.cjs Registry-API package legitimacy verdicts (OK/SUS/SLOP) from npm/PyPI/crates, slopcheck optional
pattern.cjs The pattern-construction seam — escapeRegex (delegates to the built-in RegExp.escape) and literalPattern; sole owner of building a RegExp from a runtime value (ADR-3212 §1, epic #3212 Phase 1, #3412)
phase-command-router.cjs Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for gsd-tools phase
phase-estimation.cjs Pure phase-effort estimation — estimate/actuals schema parse+render, smart-zone budget classification, and estimate-vs-actual calibration (median ratio, clamped, sample-gated). Confidence is derived from calibration sample count, never self-rated (ADR-2629)
phase-id.cjs Pure phase-id parsing/matching helpers — normalize, token match, milestone/phase-dir id parsing, phase-markdown regex builders (extracted from core.cjs, ADR-857)
phase-lifecycle.cjs Pure-computation phase lifecycle helpers extracted from the phase-lifecycle SDK handler
phase-locator.cjs Phase-directory search/location — active + archived phase-dir discovery, phase-id matching against the filesystem (extracted from core.cjs, ADR-857)
health-diagnostic-rules/phase-structure.cjs Health-diagnostic rules: phase directory structure checks (W005, W023, I001, W009), ported behavior-preserving from cmdValidateHealth (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309)
phase.cjs Phase directory operations, decimal numbering, plan indexing
phases-command-router.cjs Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for gsd-tools phases
plan-dependency-graph.cjs Shared halt-propagation over a plan's depends_on DAG — the single topological-order + halt-propagation engine used by both phase.cjs's wave-grouping and phase-locator.cjs's phase-location primitive, so the two can never diverge on which plans a halted plan blocks (#2830)
plan-document.cjs Canonical parser for a *-PLAN.md document BODY (compiled from src/plan-document.cts, gitignored; #2790) — parsePlanDocument(content, planPath?) returns <objective>, the <task> block rows (with the legacy ## Task N heading fallback), per-task <files>/<acceptance_criteria>/<done>, and the frontmatter scheduling metadata (wave, depends_on, autonomous, agent_hint, files_modified); frozen TASK_KIND (AUTO/CHECKPOINT) so a checkpoint:* block is reported as its own kind rather than a malformed auto task. Extracted from cmdPhasePlanIndex's inline loop so phase.plan-index and planning.inspect cannot drift; the invariant taskCount === tasks.length === (xmlTaskCount || mdTaskCount) is preserved byte-for-behaviour
plan-drift-guard.cjs Classifies symbol-verification severity against the ADR-22 authority ladder
plan-scan.cjs Canonical phase-plan scanner for detecting plan and summary files in flat and nested layouts (k014)
planning-command-router.cjs Thin CJS subcommand router for gsd-tools planning (compiled from src/planning-command-router.cts, gitignored; #2790) — one subcommand, inspect; v1 accepts no arguments, so a stray positional or unknown flag is a fail-loud ERROR_REASON.USAGE rather than a silently-ignored one
planning-inspect.cjs Read-only schema-v1 canonical planning snapshot (compiled from src/planning-inspect.cts, gitignored; #2790) — buildPlanningInspect(cwd) / cmdPlanningInspect; PLANNING_INSPECT_SCHEMA_VERSION = 1 is the wire contract consumers must reject other values of. Composed from the ADR-3180 §7 owners plus parsePlanDocument/parseRequirements/parseUatItems, and read through the Markdown Sectionizer + Markdown Table Model seams; deliberately declares its own flat external schema rather than serializing the still-growing PlanningSnapshot. Frozen INSPECT_DIAGNOSTIC/TASK_STATUS/PROVENANCE/AGREEMENT enums carry every non-answer — unknown or conflicting evidence is reported with a coded diagnostic, never inferred
planning-scope.cjs Frozen SCOPE discriminator (COMPLETE/TRUNCATED/UNSCOPED/UNREADABLE) distinguishing a genuinely-empty derivation from one computed over a truncated or unscoped input, so callers can branch on the difference instead of reading a plausible zero (ADR-3180)
planning-snapshot.cjs Parsed projection of .planning/ composed exclusively from the ADR-3180 §7 owners (milestone identity, phase enumeration, phase completion, plan/summary counting, STATE.md current-phase) — exposes only scope-carrying parsed values, never raw document text, so a diagnostic rule cannot re-derive a field's location (ADR-3180 §8.1)
planning-workspace.cjs Planning path/workstream seam (planningDir, planningPaths, active-workstream routing, .planning/.lock orchestration)
project-root.cjs Resolves a project root from a starting directory using four heuristics (own .planning/ guard, sub_repos config, multiRepo flag, .git heuristic)
profile-output.cjs Profile rendering, USER-PROFILE.md and dev-preferences.md generation
profile-pipeline-command-router.cjs ADR-959 capability command router for the profile-pipeline command family — dispatches scan-sessions, extract-messages, profile-sample (pipeline phase) and write-profile, profile-questionnaire, generate-dev-preferences, generate-claude-profile, generate-claude-md (output phase); phase 6 cutover
profile-pipeline.cjs User behavioral profiling data pipeline, session file scanning
prompt-budget.cjs Pure token-budget accounting for review prompts — estimates tokens, applies deterministic trim priority (head-shrink PROJECT.md, proportional plan truncation, drop context/research/requirements, hard-fail guard), returns structured metadata for review.max_prompt_tokens (#3081)
observability/redaction.cjs Arg redaction policy for dispatch events — args omitted from every emitted event by default, opt-in verbatim inclusion via GSD_AUDIT_ARGS=1; stateless env read, no module-level caching (#177)
real-home-guard.cjs Real-home confinement guard (#3712; renamed from test-home-guard.cjs — a source filename matching Node's test-* convention is collected and executed as a test by the remote runner) — refuses any of the six writers that resolve a kind home — installRuntimeArtifacts, uninstallRuntimeArtifacts, applySurface, migrateLegacyDevPreferencesToSkill, plus the descriptor-dependent installOpencodeFamilySkills and installAgentsKindStandalone when a node --test run would resolve a kind's global home override (codex skills -> $HOME/.agents, ADR-1239/#2088) inside the real passwd home, which silently pruned every gsd-* skill there; compares homes by filesystem identity (st_dev+st_ino) rather than by pathname, since a case-variant, symlinked, or bind-mounted HOME names one directory under two names; fails CLOSED unless both homes identify or one is definitively absent (the pathname-equality shortcut in sameDirectory can answer yes without identifying, so the marker branch requires the marker to identify separately before it may allow anything); a destination inside the real home is exempted only when HOME differs from the passwd home, the passwd home is not itself beneath that HOME (/Users, C:\Users are not sandboxes), and the destination resolves beneath it (Windows puts the temp root inside the home, so containment alone cannot tell a sandbox from the danger); where no passwd entry is readable it falls back to sandboxHome()'s path-valued marker, which must identify AND contain every resolved destination — a marker matching HOME attests only that HOME was sandboxed, so on its own it waved through a layout captured before the sandbox that still named the real ~/.agents; it remains a deliberate weakening rather than a closed door, since nothing there can contradict a marker naming the real home; does not defend against a subordinate bind mount of the real directory into the sandbox (realpath cannot unify bind-mounted spellings) or a cross-process TOCTOU swap; inert for normal installs outside a Node test context
refactor-trigger-command-router.cjs ADR-959 capability command router for gsd-tools refactor (issue #1953) — dispatches evaluate/status/accept/decline subcommands for the complexity-triggered refactor capability; owns capability-activation gating, git invocation (via the git-base-branch.cjs phaseStartCommit/changedFilesSince adapters), config reads, phase-directory resolution, and the optional broken-windows ledger integration around the pure complexity-trigger.cjs leaf
research-provider.cjs Research provider waterfall, confidence tiers, and planResearch (cache-hits + fetch plan)
research-store.cjs Content-addressed research cache: sha256 keys, per-source TTL staleness, two-tier (user ~/.gsd / project .planning) store
resolution.cjs Defines the Resolution envelope carried by config-reading verbs, with provenance (#1411)
retired-artifact-cleanup.cjs Manifest-safe cleanup for descriptor-declared retired runtime artifact surfaces; shared by install and profile/surface apply so removed layout kinds converge without deleting modified or unknown user files (#2644)
probe-core.cjs Generic spec-phase probe resolution model (compiled from src/probe-core.cts, gitignored; ADR-550 Decision 7) — the status×verification re-cut (status: resolved/dismissed/unresolved × per-probe verification), validateResolution/validateRequirement, analyzeCoverage(items, resolutions?, validators) merge/rollup/orphan-reject, the byVerification rollup, and the runProbeCli I/O scaffold; the shared seam consumed by edge-probe (and the prohibition probe #644); exports VALID_STATUS, validateResolution, validateRequirement, analyzeCoverage, runProbeCli (#550)
prohibition-enforcement.cjs Deterministic test-tier prohibition PRODUCER/gate (compiled from src/prohibition-enforcement.cts, gitignored; #1259, ADR-550 D5d "heavy half") — locates the wired mechanical check (node-test or lint-rule), confirms it is fail-first, runs it via an injectable runner, builds typed enforcementEvidence, and emits the dispositionForProhibition verdict; a passing wired check disposes green, a missing/failing/non-fail-first check hard-gates (flagged, non-green) in both interactive and autonomous modes; exports runProhibitionEnforcement, routeProhibitionEnforcement; CLI surface gsd_run check prohibition-enforcement <request.json>
review-lane-descriptor.cjs Declared reviewer-lane contract (compiled from src/review-lane-descriptor.cts, gitignored; ADR-2782) — the frozen REVIEWER_LANES roster, the lane slug grammar, and two pure parity gates: checkReviewerLaneParity (descriptor ↔ roster ↔ registry, plus anti-parity against re-added bespoke workflow legs) and checkReviewerDocsParity (declared flags and section titles ↔ docs/COMMANDS.md, docs/FEATURES.md and their locale mirrors; #2800, closes #2781/#2272); exports REVIEWER_LANES, PARITY_VIOLATION, DOCS_PARITY_VIOLATION, LANE_SLUG_RE
review-lane-invocation.cjs Pure projection from a declared reviewer lane plus resolved config to a concrete invocation plan (compiled from src/review-lane-invocation.cts, gitignored; ADR-2782 Phase 5b) — no filesystem, network or clock; config arrives through a configGet seam; exports resolveLanePlan, LANE_UNAVAILABLE
review-lane-runner.cjs Execution of a reviewer-lane invocation plan (compiled from src/review-lane-runner.cts, gitignored; ADR-2782 Phase 5b) — probe, spawn or HTTP call, empty-output policy, egress-host check, and dispatch of the three first-party handler modules; exports runLane, probeLane, checkEgressHost, writeReviewOrStub
review-reviewer-selection.cjs Reviewer selection/normalization helpers for /gsd-review default reviewer policy and precedence
roadmap-command-router.cjs Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for gsd-tools roadmap
health-diagnostic-rules/roadmap-disk-consistency.cjs Health-diagnostic rules: ROADMAP-vs-disk phase directory consistency checks (W006, W007), both resolved through the shared matchPhaseDirs matcher, ported behavior-preserving from cmdValidateHealth (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309)
roadmap-parser.cjs ROADMAP.md parsing — milestone slicing, current-milestone extraction, phase/milestone lookups, milestone-phase filter (extracted from core.cjs, ADR-857)
roadmap-upgrade.cjs Migration tool for converting legacy Phase N entries to milestone-prefixed Phase M-NN convention; computeMigrationPlan + applyMigration with dry-run default and atomic rollback
roadmap.cjs ROADMAP.md parsing, phase extraction, plan progress
health-diagnostic-rules/root-existence.cjs Health-diagnostic rules: root .planning/ existence + PROJECT.md checks (E002-E004, W001), ported behavior-preserving from cmdValidateHealth (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309)
runtime-artifact-conversion.cjs Runtime artifact conversion module — projects Claude-authored commands, agents, and skills into runtime-specific artifact bodies while preserving installer compatibility exports
runtime-artifact-install-plan.cjs Runtime artifact install plan module — stages pre-resolved layout kinds, applies runtime body rewrites, and returns copy-plan items plus cleanup obligations
runtime-artifact-layout.cjs Runtime artifact layout module — resolves the artifact directory shapes (commands, agents, skills) for each supported runtime; single source of truth for per-runtime artifact placement (#3663)
runtime-config-adapter-registry.cjs Explicit runtime config adapter registry — resolves per-runtime config-mutation install intent (install surface, shared-settings gate, finish-phase permission writer); see ADR-58.
runtime-hooks-surface.cjs Runtime hooks surface module — standalone hook-surface writer functions extracted from bin/install.js (ADR-857 phase 5f-1); owns Cline/Cursor/Copilot/Codex hook artifact generation and reconciliation.
runtime-name-policy.cjs Runtime name normalization policy — canonical token sanitization for runtime identifiers used in path construction and display
runtime-homes.cjs Canonical runtime → global config/skills directory mapping; first-class support for all 15 runtimes including Hermes nested layout and Cline rules-based exclusion (#3126)
runtime-identity.cjs Runtime identity surface (#3146) — exports classifyIdentityProbe (pure, total; (stdout, exitCode, spawnFailed, timedOut) → ok/identity_mismatch/no_identity_verb/unparseable/probe_failed), buildIdentityPayload, explainVerdict, and the launcher gate's vocabulary — frozen IDENTITY_STATUS (ok/unverified), statusForVerdict, and the anchored IDENTITY_RAW_PREFIX; backs the runtime-identity verb, which the launcher preamble probes once before any verb runs (#3841) and which also serves as a manual diagnostic for telling this package's gsd-tools apart from the predecessor's colliding binary. The PATH route is closed structurally by resolving gsd_run rather than gsd-tools; the path-based branches are covered by that assertion
runtime-slash.cjs Runtime-aware slash-command formatter — single source of truth for emitting /gsd-<cmd> (skills-based runtimes) and $gsd-<cmd> (codex) in user-facing output and persisted artifacts (#3584)
schema-detect.cjs Schema-drift detection for ORM patterns (Prisma, Drizzle, Supabase, TypeORM, Payload); exports detectSchemaFiles, detectSchemaOrm, checkSchemaDrift, SCHEMA_PATTERNS, ORM_INFO
secrets.cjs Secret-config masking convention (****<last-4>) for integration keys; exports SECRET_CONFIG_KEYS, isSecretKey, maskSecret, maskIfSecret
section-manifest.cjs Pure when= evaluator over InvocationFacts (ADR-1671, epic #1671 Phase 5, #2932) — selectSections partitions a document-order list of parsed gsd:section sections into included/excluded id arrays for one concrete invocation, via WHEN_PREDICATES, a total lookup (never a parser) over the frozen WHEN_VOCABULARY imported unchanged from workflow-fragments.cjs; an unrecognized when= value fails closed (REASON.UNKNOWN_WHEN), and a coordinated-change guard at module load throws if a vocabulary entry has no predicate. Compiled from src/section-manifest.cts
semver-compare.cjs Shared semver comparison policy helpers (compareSemverCore, stable-triplet validation, normalized tuple parsing) consumed by update-check hooks, statusline dev-install detection, and changeset extract range logic (#10)
security.cjs Path traversal prevention, prompt injection detection, safe JSON/shell helpers
shell-command-projection.cjs Runtime-aware shell command projection for managed hook serialization: decides PowerShell call-operator usage by runtime/platform and normalizes Windows script path tokens
smart-entry.cjs Classifies workflow state into the enumerated smart-entry situations and their next actions (ADR-1787)
spec-section.cjs SPEC section-status helper (compiled from src/spec-section.cts, gitignored) — the single source of truth for the canonical SPEC headings (suffix-tolerant) and markdown-table row counting; specSectionStatus/countSectionDataRows decide per-section "supplied" for plan-phase's spec-less probe fallback, replacing ad-hoc awk (contract pinned by tests/spec-section.test.cjs)
stale-bake-guard.cjs Warns when configuration changes after a static-frontmatter runtime bake (#1688)
state-command-router.cjs Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for gsd-tools state
state-contract.cjs Machine-readable state contract v1 published to .planning/state.json at every step boundary (compiled from src/state-contract.cts, gitignored; #3227) — buildStateContract(cwd, deps?) is pure, publishStateContract(cwd, deps?) writes and never throws. contract: "1.0.0" is the wire version consumers gate on; frozen PHASE_STATUS (complete/in_progress/pending) and PUBLISH_REASON (published/no_planning_dir/write_failed) are the closed vocabularies. Composed from locateProgressTable, getMilestoneInfo and classifyProject so it can never disagree with GSD's own progress counters or front-door routing; owners are required lazily to avoid the state → state-contract → smart-entry → state require cycle. Best-effort by contract: it cannot change the exit code, stdout, or success of the boundary command that triggered it
health-diagnostic-rules/state-consistency.cjs Health-diagnostic rules: STATE.md consistency checks (W002, W011, W021, W026) against config/ROADMAP/disk, ported behavior-preserving from cmdValidateHealth; W024 (state_head freshness) is a documented gap, deliberately not migrated (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309)
state-io.cjs Abstracts state IO modes — filesystem, sandboxed storage, or session log (#1680)
state-transition.cjs Implements the STATE.md field-classification table and the pure transitionCore mutation path (#1769)
state-md-schema.cjs The STATE.md field schema (compiled from src/state-md-schema.cts, gitignored; ADR-3473 §8.8, #3873) — one frozen, null-prototype STATE_FIELD_SCHEMA row per STATE.md key (type, cardinality, source, preservation, guard, mergeStrategy, body source/label, accepted value shapes, emitted-vs-guarded), replacing three previously hand-maintained tables (FIELD_CLASSIFICATION / FRONTMATTER_BODY_SOURCE in state-transition.cjs, FRONTMATTER_KEY_TO_BODY_LABEL in state.cjs) that now project from it at load time with byte-identical shape/order. Leaf module: imports from neither of its two consumers, avoiding the CJS require-cycle health-diagnostic-types.cjs was split out to break
state.cjs STATE.md parsing, updating, progression, metrics
state-document.cjs Pure STATE.md field extraction, replacement, status normalization, and progress calculation transforms
milestone-lock.cjs Milestone lock (compiled from src/milestone-lock.cts, gitignored) — advisory (phase, session id) claim over STATE.md's single Current Position slot: .planning/milestone.lock claim IO, liveness (TTL + heartbeat), conflict detection, and the shared stderr warning; consumed by state.begin-phase / state.advance-plan / phase.complete so parallel phases in one working tree get a visible conflict instead of silently overwriting each other (#3311)
surface.cjs Runtime surface module — manages the runtime enable/disable surface state independently of the install-time profile marker (ADR-0011 Phase 2)
task-command-router.cjs Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for gsd-tools task; resolve-content subcommand resolves a task's tracker-id via task-content-resolution.cjs (ADR-3646, #3970)
task-content-resolution.cjs Resolves a task's tracker-id to external-tracker content via a capability-declared taskContentResolver and a bounded subprocess call; hard-halts on ambiguous/failed/timeout/malformed resolution (compiled from src/task-content-resolution.cts, gitignored) (ADR-3646, #3970)
teams-status.cjs Detects agent-teams status from environment and runtime; pure core (#1355)
template.cjs Template selection and filling with variable substitution
text-lines.cjs Line-terminator handling seam — splitLines/normalizeEol/detectEol/joinLines, the sole owner of \r?\n splitting and CRLF normalization; closes #3360's split-then-match fix in frontmatter.cjs (ADR-3212 §3, epic #3212 Phase 2, #3413)
token-scanner.cjs Tokenizer-first seam for stateful grammars — tokenizeShellLike (quote-aware shell tokenizer, the primitive hooks/lib/git-cmd.js migrated onto) and indentWidth (bullet-nesting depth, closes #3169's cross-reference-vs-declaration false positive in decisions.cts) (ADR-3212 §4, epic #3212 Phase 3, #3414)
normalize-test-command.cjs Normalizes a resolved test command to a one-shot form so a watch-mode runner (vitest/jest) cannot hang a verification gate (#1857); shared by all three live test-command gates (regression, post-merge, audit-fix)
uat.cjs UAT file parsing, verification debt tracking, audit-uat support
uat-predicate.cjs UAT-passed predicate — markdown-aware evaluation of HUMAN-UAT results; returns pass only when all required checks pass; ignores false-positive contexts (frontmatter, fenced code, blockquotes, HTML comments)
ui-consideration-probe.cjs Spec-completeness UI-consideration probe (compiled from src/ui-consideration-probe.cts, gitignored) — the third adapter of the probe-core resolution model (ADR-550 Decision 7): element-kind classification, applicable-category relevance filter, consideration proposal, proposeElements/autoResolve (propose-then-confirm + the --auto never-dismiss floor), and the {explicit, backstop} validators; delegates merge/rollup/CLI to probe-core; exports classifyElement, applicableCategories, proposeConsiderations, proposeElements, autoResolve, analyzeCoverage, UI_TAXONOMY (#1867)
ui-safety-gate.cjs Shell-free word-boundary UI token detector (#3706, #3718); reads phase-section text from stdin, exits 0 (UI found), 1 (no UI — real input, examined), NO_INPUT (empty/whitespace-only stdin) or UNAVAILABLE (stdin read failed) — the latter two are registry codes (ADR-3889 Phase 3, #3907); also deployed to gsd-core/bin/lib/ so the GSD installer ships it to $RUNTIME_DIR (#448)
ui-frontend-evidence.cjs Static frontend-evidence detector (compiled from src/ui-frontend-evidence.cts, gitignored) — plan-time structural corroboration for computeUiPlanGate (#3312): a package.json UI-framework dependency or a component-framework file (*.tsx/*.jsx/*.vue/*.svelte) in the tree, so a UI-token match on a hyphenated proper noun (e.g. repo dashboard-financeiro) cannot block planning in a repo with no frontend; mirrors the post-wave computeUiSafetyGate git-diff corroboration
unusable-input.cjs Deduplicates stderr diagnostics for corrupt or unreadable configuration (#1879)
update-context.cjs Pure install-context resolver for /gsd-update — runtime/scope/config-dir/version detection (LOCAL/GLOBAL/UNKNOWN) ported from update.md bash; backs gsd-tools update-context (#498)
user-artifact-staging.cjs Durable, on-disk staging for USER_OWNED_ARTIFACTS across the preserve → wipe → restore window (compiled from src/user-artifact-staging.cts, gitignored; #2875, epic #2866 Phase 6, ADR-3574) — closes #1874-F19 (in-memory-only preservation lost on a crash between wipe and restore); recoverOrphanedUserArtifacts is wired at the start of bin/install.js's install() so an orphaned staged copy from a prior crashed run is recovered before the ordinary preserve step, closing the #1879-F15 inert-fix failure mode; exports stageUserArtifacts, restoreStagedUserArtifacts, discardStagedUserArtifacts, recoverOrphanedUserArtifacts
validate-command-router.cjs Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for gsd-tools validate
validate.cjs Pure phase variant normalization helpers (phaseVariants, buildRoadmapPhaseVariants, buildNotStartedPhaseVariants) used by verify.cjs for W006/W007 checks; no I/O, no async
verification-command-router.cjs Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for gsd-tools verification
verification.cjs Verification-status routing — consolidates pass/gaps_found/human_needed status from phase verifier-emitted VERIFICATION.md frontmatter (#651)
verify-command-grounding.cjs Verify-command path-resolvability probe (#2401) — pure extractAutomatedCommands (<automated> blocks + owning task, ReDoS-safe), resolveVerifyCommandTarget (grounds a leading cd <literal> chain or npm --prefix <literal> against the project root; three-state ok/broken/unresolvable plus not_applicable/pending_creation), probePhaseVerifyCommands (per-phase report backing gsd-tools check verify-command-paths), harvestPriorVerifyCommands (nearest prior phase's commands, surfaced to the planner ungated by context_window), and the failing-direction probe (#3172) — extractFailingDirections (pairs each <fails_when> to the nearest preceding <automated> in one document-order pass, first-wins), resolveFailingDirection (closed 6-atom status ok/missing/empty/placeholder/sentinel/orphan), and probePhaseFailingDirections (per-phase report backing gsd-tools check verify-failure-directions). Never executes command text — PLAN.md is model-authored — and never prescribes a replacement path or a failure statement. Compiled from src/verify-command-grounding.cts
verify-command-router.cjs Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for gsd-tools verify
verify.cjs Plan structure, phase completeness, reference, commit validation
workflow-fragments.cjs In-file <!-- gsd:section id= when= --> marker parser/composer for GSD workflow markdown (ADR-1671, #2930) — parseWorkflowSections (fence/HTML-comment-aware document partition into explicit/gap sections, fail-closed on malformed/unclosed/nested/duplicate markers or an unknown when=), toFragments (maps sections to context-composer.cjs verbatim fragments — non-lossy by construction), and renderFragments/composeWorkflow (compose-within-budget then join, run BEFORE per-runtime converters so a marker attribute never reaches a path-rewrite regex). WHEN_VOCABULARY is a frozen 4-atom applicability set (always, flag:--wave, state:gap-closure-phase, state:has-prior-phases); widening it is an ADR amendment, not an organic edit. Compiled from src/workflow-fragments.cts
workstream-inventory-builder.cjs Pure workstream inventory projection builder
workstream-inventory.cjs Shared workstream inventory projection: state fields, phase/plan/summary counts, roadmap phase count, and active marker — thin orchestrator that delegates pure projection to workstream-inventory-builder.cjs
workstream-name-policy.cjs Canonical workstream name validation (isValidActiveWorkstreamName, hasInvalidPathSegment, validateWorkstreamName) and slug normalization (toWorkstreamSlug)
workstream.cjs Workstream CRUD, migration, session-scoped active pointer
worktree-base-ref.cjs Worktree base-ref drift detection and degrade decision (evaluateWorktreeBaseDegrade) plus no-clobber worktree.baseRef settings management for the base-check/set-baseref subcommands (#683)
health-diagnostic-rules/worktree-health.cjs Health-diagnostic rules: worktree health checks (W020, W017, W027 — the split-off stale-worktree subject), ported behavior-preserving from cmdValidateHealth (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309)
worktree-safety.cjs Worktree-root resolution and non-destructive prune policy decisions; owns W017 health-check logic
vendor/js-yaml.cjs Vendored third-party artifact, not a GSD module. Verbatim copy of js-yaml's UMD dist build (ADR-3473 §8.1, #3881) — the single YAML parser adopted to replace this repo's hand-rolled frontmatter scanner. Vendored because gsd-core/bin/** is copied into installed trees that have no node_modules, so it may contain no external requires (enforced by local/no-external-require-in-bin). Its type twin, src/vendor/js-yaml.d.cts, is hand-authored (js-yaml ships no .d.ts upstream and @types/js-yaml is not installed) and deliberately narrow — only load/dump/FAILSAFE_SCHEMA/YAMLException are declared, so anchors/aliases/custom types/loadAll are unreachable from typed code. Never hand-edit the .cjs; scripts/lint-vendored-deps.cjs byte-compares it against the pinned js-yaml devDependency in lint:ci (the hand-authored twin is excluded from that byte-compare — there is no upstream file to compare against). See gsd-core/bin/lib/vendor/README.md
vendor/re2js.cjs Vendored third-party artifact, not a GSD module. Verbatim copy of re2js' CJS build — the RE2 linear-time regex engine used by pattern.cjs to evaluate untrusted key_links patterns without catastrophic backtracking (#3477). Vendored because gsd-core/bin/** is copied into installed trees that have no node_modules, so it may contain no external requires (enforced by local/no-external-require-in-bin). Never hand-edit; scripts/lint-vendored-deps.cjs byte-compares it against the pinned re2js devDependency in lint:ci. See gsd-core/bin/lib/vendor/README.md
write-set.cjs Shared fail-loud Result<T> ({ok:true,value}|{ok:false,reason}) and per-surface write-set contracts (ADR-2143, epic #2143) — WriteOutcome ({surface,applied}), WriteSet (WriteOutcome[]), and writeSetComplete(ws) (true only when the set is non-empty AND every surface applied, never an OR-into-one-flag); markdown-table.cjs re-exports Result from here so existing importers are unaffected; consumed by milestone.cts's requirements mark-complete handler to report a structured per-surface (checkbox/traceability) write-set alongside its existing fields (fixes the structural half of #2140)

docs/CLI-TOOLS.md may describe a subset of these modules; when it disagrees with the filesystem, this table and the directory listing are authoritative.

Hook Library (hooks/lib/)

Shared modules a hook require()s relative to its own __dirname; not separately invoked and not part of the auto-checked hooks manifest family (scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs walks hooks/ non-recursively). New entries below are #3911's; the directory holds other pre-existing helpers (cursor-workspace.js, git-cmd.js, injection-patterns.js, isolation-deny-reason.js, isolation-sentinel.js, gsd-graphify-rebuild.sh) not enumerated here.

Module Purpose
hook-exit.js Hand-written hook-facing exit vocabulary layered over cli-exit.js's terminateNow: allow(payload) (exit 0), deny(payload, stderrPayload?) (exit 2), crash(onCrash, payload) dispatching per a REQUIRED HOOK_ON_CRASH policy — no default, so a hook cannot fail open by omission (ADR-3889 Phase 7, #3911)
cli-exit.js Generated, git-tracked copy of src/cli-exit.cts's ExitError/runMain/terminateNow seam, so a shipped hook can terminate without depending on gsd-core/bin/lib/ tsc output. Regenerated by scripts/gen-hooks-cli-exit.cjs --write; byte-compared by npm run lint:generated-sync (#3911)
exit-code-registry.js Generated, git-tracked copy of the exit-code registry (gsd-core/bin/shared/exit-codes.json) — exitCodeFor/nameForExitCode, pure and total over the closed table. Regenerated by scripts/gen-exit-code-registry.cjs --write; byte-compared by npm run lint:generated-sync (#3905/#3906/#3911, ADR-3889)

Maintenance

  • When a new command, agent, workflow, reference, CLI module, or hook ships, update the corresponding section here before the release is cut.
  • The drift-guard tests under tests/ (see "How To Use This File" above) assert that every shipped file in the six flat families — agents, commands, workflows, references, CLI modules, hooks — is enumerated in this inventory. A new file in one of those without a matching row here will fail CI. Workflow steps/ and modes/ sub-files are the deliberate exception; see "Workflow Sub-Files" above.
  • When the filesystem diverges from docs/ARCHITECTURE.md counts or from curated-subset docs (e.g. docs/AGENTS.md's primary roster), this file is the source of truth.
