Tom Boucher ffd5370464 fix(#2903): use the command form that actually works in reader-facing docs (#3047) 
* fix(#2903): use the command form that actually works in reader-facing docs

Docs told readers to type the colon form, which no runtime registers -- 18 of
19 runtimes use slash-hyphen and the 19th uses shell-var -- so anyone copying an
example got an unrecognized command. Swept 178 occurrences across 53 files,
locale mirrors included so they do not re-diverge from English.

The colon form is a source-authoring token, not a user-facing one: install-time
converters key on it to produce the hyphen form runtimes actually register. So
the sweep is scoped, and three things are deliberately left alone:

- ADRs, which are a historical record; editing their prose falsifies what was
  written at the time.
- The legacy release-notes archive, pending a maintainer decision on whether it
  follows the same historical carve-out. Excluding it keeps a later reversal
  additive rather than a revert.
- Source artifacts under commands, workflows and agents, where the colon form is
  load-bearing. Rewriting those would break the installed-skill guarantee across
  every runtime -- the single largest hazard here.

The plugin namespace form is a real, separate token and survives untouched.

Adds a lint enforcing exactly that boundary, since the correct form genuinely
differs by directory and nothing previously caught the drift.

Also fixes a hardcoded colon form in the capability-matrix generator. The sweep
alone would have left the generated matrix disagreeing with the template that
produces it, so the fix is at the source and the output regenerated.

* fix(#2903): stop the sweep misquoting source frontmatter

Adversarial review caught three lines where the sweep rewrote a citation of the
literal YAML name: key from a source command file. That key genuinely is the
colon form -- this change's own carve-out logic says source-authoring tokens keep
it -- so the docs ended up misquoting the real files. One of the three is an
acceptance-checklist assertion, which the sweep turned into a false statement.

Restored the three citations to match their sources verbatim, surgically: where a
line carried both a name: citation and a real reader-facing slash command, only
the citation reverted and the command stayed corrected.

The guard needed the same distinction, or it would have flagged the restoration
and reddened the build: a gsd:<cmd> token preceded by name: is a citation of a
source token and is now permitted. The exemption is deliberately narrow -- a bare
gsd:<cmd> anywhere else still fails -- with a test pinning that narrowness.

Also makes the detection case-insensitive. Review found /GSD:next slipped through
silently; no such casing exists in the tree today, so this closes a latent gap
rather than fixing a live one.

Swept the whole tree for further corrupted citations: none beyond the three.

* fix(#2903): retire the stale-next invariant and sweep next like every other command

Maintainer decision on a genuine conflict between two contracts.

Invariant #3054 banned the literal /gsd-next from user-facing docs because it
named a retired workflow-advance command. But commands/gsd/next.md is a live
command -- the state-aware smart-entry launcher -- and this issue requires docs
to use the hyphen form every runtime actually registers. Both could not hold for
this one command, so docs had been sidestepping the ban by keeping the colon
form, which is exactly the defect this issue exists to remove.

FEATURES.md already recorded the reassignment: the hyphen form "is not the
retired workflow-advance command; it is reserved for the state-aware smart-entry
launcher. Workflow advancement remains under /gsd-progress --next." With that
reassignment the invariant's premise is obsolete and the guard now contradicts
the documented command form, so it is retired with a comment recording why
rather than deleted silently.

next is now swept like every other command, and the earlier exemption added to
the new guard is removed so nothing is special-cased.

Four citations of the literal name: frontmatter key stay in colon form, because
the source file really does carry name: gsd:next and a doc quoting it must
reproduce it verbatim. Two of those lines were reworded to say which side is the
frontmatter key and which is the slash command, since they previously conflated
the two.

Verified the retired scan would now genuinely fail against this tree -- the
conflict was real and resolved, not dodged.

## Column definitions
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| **id** | Canonical capability identifier; unique across first- and third-party capabilities. Reserved prefixes: `gsd-`, `gsd-core-`, `anthropic-`. |
| **role** | `feature` — extends what the loop does; `runtime` — adapts GSD to a specific AI runtime/IDE; `reviewer` — declares a cross-AI reviewer lane (ADR-2782). A capability may be both a runtime and a reviewer. |
| **tier** | `core` — always active; `standard` — active when the runtime supports it; `full` — opt-in or runtime-specific. |
| **engines.gsd** | Semver RANGE expressing host-version compatibility. A hard gate at install and at load. `—` means the capability declares no range. |
| **extension points** | The loop points this capability registers hooks into (from the registry's `byLoopPoint` index). `—` means it registers none (typical for runtime capabilities, whose job is surface emission). |
| **hook kinds** | Which of `step`, `contribution`, `gate` the capability's hooks use. `—` means none. |
| **source** | `first-party` — ships with GSD Core; `third-party` — installed from an external source via `gsd capability install`. |
> **On versions.** This matrix intentionally omits a per-capability `version`
> column. First-party capabilities are versioned **in lockstep** with the GSD
> Core package (their `capability.json` `version` always equals the GSD release
> version), so a per-row version would simply repeat the package version and
> churn the committed file on every release. The stable host-compatibility
> signal — `engines.gsd` — is shown instead. A third-party capability's exact
> version is recorded in the per-runtime ledger (`.gsd-capabilities.json`) at
> install time.

## Native (first-party) capabilities
First-party capabilities are implicitly trusted: they ship as part of the GSD
Core package and are stamped with the package version at release (per
ADR-1244 D6). They are not subject to the consent or integrity-pin flow applied
to third-party capabilities.
### Feature capabilities (role: feature) — 20
Feature capabilities extend what the loop does — contributing research,
planning, execution, verification, or ship artefacts at the loop extension
points.
| id | role | tier | engines.gsd | extension points | hook kinds | source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `ai-integration` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | `plan:pre`, `verify:pre` | step, contribution, gate | first-party |
| `assumption-delta` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | `plan:pre` | contribution | first-party |
| `audit` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `broken-windows` | feature | full | `>=1.7.0` | `ship:pre` | gate | first-party |
| `claude-orchestration` | feature | full | `>=1.7.0` | `plan:post`, `execute:wave:pre` | contribution | first-party |
| `code-review` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | `execute:post` | step | first-party |
| `drift` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | `plan:pre`, `execute:wave:post` | gate | first-party |

| `nyquist` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | `verify:post` | step | first-party |
| `pattern-mapper` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | `plan:pre` | step | first-party |

| `research` | feature | standard | `>=1.6.0` | `plan:pre` | step | first-party |
| `schema-gate` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | `plan:pre` | contribution | first-party |

| `tdd` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | `plan:pre`, `execute:post` | contribution, gate | first-party |
| `ui` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | `plan:pre`, `execute:wave:post`, `verify:post` | step, gate | first-party |
### Runtime capabilities (role: runtime) — 19
Runtime capabilities adapt GSD to a specific AI runtime or IDE — emitting
skills, agents, hooks configuration, and surface files for that host. They
typically register no loop hooks (their primary responsibility is surface
emission), so their extension-point and hook-kind cells are `—`.
| id | role | tier | engines.gsd | extension points | hook kinds | source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `antigravity` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `augment` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `claude` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `cline` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `codebuddy` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `codex` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `copilot` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `cursor` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `hermes` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `kilo` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `kimi` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `kimi-code` | runtime | core | `>=1.7.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `opencode` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `pi` | runtime | core | `>=1.7.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `qwen` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `trae` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `vscode` | runtime | core | `>=1.7.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `windsurf` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `zcode` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
### Reviewer capabilities (role: reviewer) — 5
Reviewer capabilities declare a cross-AI **reviewer lane** — one external CLI or
model endpoint `/gsd-review` hands a plan to (ADR-2782 D3). They are not install
targets: they emit no skills, agents, hooks or surface files, so their
extension-point and hook-kind cells are `—`. A host that is *also* a reviewer
(Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Qwen, Antigravity) keeps one manifest and
appears under **runtime** above, carrying its lane alongside its runtime body;
only lanes that GSD never installs into appear here.
Because a lane receives the plan text, requirements, research findings and
`CONTEXT.md` decisions, it is a disclosed executable surface and is consent-gated
at install like any other — see
[the trust model](../explanation/capability-trust-model.md).
| id | role | tier | engines.gsd | extension points | hook kinds | source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `coderabbit` | reviewer | full | `>=1.8.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `gemini` | reviewer | full | `>=1.8.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `llama-cpp` | reviewer | full | `>=1.8.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `lm-studio` | reviewer | full | `>=1.8.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `ollama` | reviewer | full | `>=1.8.0` | — | — | first-party |
---
## Third-party capabilities
This matrix is the **first-party catalogue**: it is generated from the committed
registry and therefore lists only the capabilities that ship with GSD Core.
Installed third-party capabilities are NOT written into this committed file. Once a
user installs one via `gsd capability install <spec>` it enters the **runtime
registry overlay** (ADR-1244 D2); the overlay-aware view of what is installed on a
given machine is `gsd capability list` (see the
[`gsd capability` command reference](gsd-capability-command.md)), which reports
first-party and installed third-party capabilities together using the same column
fields described below, with `source` = `third-party`.
### Column values for third-party rows
| Column | Value |
|---|---|
| **id** | As declared in `capability.json`. Must not use reserved prefixes (`gsd-`, `gsd-core-`, `anthropic-`). |
| **role** | `feature`, `runtime`, or `reviewer`, as declared. |
| **tier** | `core`, `standard`, or `full`, as declared. |
| **engines.gsd** | Range from `capability.json`; verified at install and at each load. |
| **extension points** | The loop points the capability registers into, validated against the known 12 identifiers. |
| **hook kinds** | `step`, `contribution`, and/or `gate` as declared. Disclosed in the consent summary at install. |
| **source** | `third-party` |
### Community registry
Whether GSD operates or advertises a central community registry of third-party
capabilities is **TBD/TBA** (PRD). The matrix mechanic and all manifest fields
ship regardless of that decision; URL/git/npm/tarball import does not depend on
a central registry.

## Manifest field reference
The fields below are defined in `capability.json` and govern how a capability
appears in this matrix. For the full schema, see
[ADR-1244 D1](../adr/1244-capability-ecosystem.md#d1--versioned-capability-manifest)
and the [capability manifest reference](capability-manifest.md).
| Field | Required | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| `version` | **Yes** | semver string | Capability version. The registry rejects manifests without it. |
| `engines.gsd` | Recommended | semver range | Host-version compatibility gate. Enforced at install and load. |
| `compatVersions` | No | object: cap-version → gsd-range | Graceful-downgrade table for sources that enumerate versions (git tags, registry, npm). |
| `integrity` | No | `sha512-<base64>` | SHA-512 digest of the fetched bundle. Verified before extraction when present; mismatch aborts. |
| `provenance` | No | `{ sourceRepo, commit }` | Source provenance; populated in CI for first-party/curated capabilities. |
