* test(#3885): failing-first coverage for the depth bound and the manufactured wave verdict ADR-3473 §8.5 says a swallowed failure may not become an authoritative-looking answer. Three families do exactly that today; this commit pins each one RED. Measured on this tree, 2026-08-27: intel query, .planning/intel/file-roles.json nested 12000 deep -> exit 1, "Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded" searchJsonEntries / matchesInValue carry no depth parameter at all. The MAX_JSON_SEARCH_DEPTH = 48 bound existed in the retired SDK lineage (sdk/src/query/intel.ts at 11918dcc3^) and the surviving .cts lineage never received it. same fixture nested 48 and 49 deep -> both return total=1 at exit 0, truncated=undefined Nothing distinguishes "searched to the bottom" from "stopped looking". query phase-plan-index, a plan whose depends_on names an unresolvable token -> warnings: ["Plan 03-02: declared wave: 2 but depends_on DAG places it in wave 1"] The token is never mentioned. computeDependencyLevels drops the edge with `if (!resolvedDep) continue;`, every plan becomes a root, and the tool then reports the author's correct wave: as the thing that is wrong. countPhasePlansAndSummaries with fs.readdirSync throwing EACCES -> hasContext:false, indistinguishable from a phase that simply has no CONTEXT.md. context_read_error is undefined. The shapes these tests assert against, chosen here so the implementation has a target rather than inventing one later: `truncated: boolean` on the intel query result, `unresolved: Array<{plan, token}>` from computeDependencyLevels, and `context_read_error: string | null` per analyzed phase. Deliberately green, and they must stay that way — each stops the fix from over-firing: depth 48 is found and NOT flagged truncated (the ceiling is inclusive) a shallow miss reports no truncation (noise control, N1) 10,000 siblings at depth 2 are unaffected (the bound is DEPTH, N2) a genuine wave: mismatch on a fully-resolved DAG still warns (N3) a genuinely missing directory is absent, not an error the emitted depends_on display mapping still passes an unresolved token through verbatim — already pinned by the existing #3785 test, so no duplicate was added T31 asserts at the consumer's output per ADR-3180 Decision 4(b): it runs the real CLI and reads the emitted JSON, because a unit assertion on computeDependencyLevels would have passed throughout #3427's life.

A failure or a gap in the input stops being absorbed into an output that reads as authoritative. The recursion bound, restored but NOT verbatim (src/intel.cts) MAX_JSON_SEARCH_DEPTH = 48 is threaded through searchJsonEntries and matchesInValue, which carried no depth parameter at all. The bound existed in the retired SDK lineage (sdk/src/query/intel.ts at 11918dcc3^) and the surviving .cts lineage never received it — §8.3's "a consolidation may not delete an invariant along with the surface that held it", demonstrated. Measured before: a .planning/intel file nested 12000 deep exits 1 with "Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded". Reachable from a project document. The original returned a bare `false` at the ceiling. Restoring that verbatim would trade a crash for a silent "no match" when the truth is "I stopped looking" — the same class this epic exists to close, and ADR-3473 Decision 4 forbids it. So the bound carries a truncation signal: nesting 47 -> found, truncated false nesting 48 -> found, truncated false (the ceiling is inclusive) nesting 49 -> not found, truncated TRUE nesting 12000 -> exit 0, truncated TRUE, no RangeError A shallow document that simply has no match reports truncated FALSE — the flag means "I stopped early", never "I found nothing", or it would be noise. The bound is on DEPTH: 10,000 siblings at depth 2 are unaffected. The dropped edge is named, and stops being blamed on the author (src/phase.cts) computeDependencyLevels dropped every unresolvable depends_on token with a bare `continue`. Each drop makes a plan a root, so the whole phase collapses to wave 1 — and cmdPhasePlanIndex then reported the author's CORRECT wave: as the thing that was wrong. Before: warnings: ["Plan 03-02: declared wave: 2 but depends_on DAG places it in wave 1"] After: warnings: ["Plan 03-02: depends_on token \"nonexistent-token-3427\" does not resolve to any plan in this phase — edge dropped, wave placement for this plan may be unreliable"] The suppression is PER PLAN, never blanket: a plan with a fully-resolved DAG and a genuinely wrong wave: still gets the mismatch warning. resolveDependencyId stays two-tier — the shortFormToId third tier is §8.3/Phase 6's rule and is deliberately not built here. The emitted depends_on display mapping still passes an unresolved token through verbatim (#3785). No artifact from failed inputs (gsd-core/workflows/review.md, #3352) A failed lane leaves no result file, so "every lane failed" is exactly "the aggregate JSONL has zero lines" — the gate condition already existed as a byproduct. REVIEWS.md is no longer written in that case, and the commit step is skipped with it. A budget-SKIPPED lane also leaves no file and is NOT counted as a failure. Per-lane output and non-empty .err are preserved to .review-diagnostics/ before `rm -rf "{run_dir}"` destroys the only record that the lanes failed at all; the commit step names one file, never a glob, so the diagnostics are not swept in. Unreadable is not absent (roadmap.cts, gap-checker.cts, init.cts x2) Four callers collapsed an EACCES on a phase directory into [] and reported hasContext:false — byte-identical to a phase that simply has no CONTEXT.md. Each now names the directory it could not read. A genuinely missing directory stays absent rather than becoming an error, which is what keeps the fix from over-firing. Fatal errno folded into a retry set: audited, no defect found Reported as a verified negative rather than padded with a change. withPlanningLock was fixed by #1884/PR #3472; acquireStateLock by #3776; atomicRenameWithRetry and estimate-cli's renameWithRetry are correct by construction — bounded set {EPERM,EBUSY,EACCES}, bounded attempts, and they return or rethrow the final error rather than swallowing it. estimate-cli's sole caller surfaces that rethrow as write_error in its JSON output. Manufacturing a diff to make the checkbox look worked-on is the Goodhart outcome Decision 6 exists to prevent. Disclosed: R46 (the commit step names one file, never a glob) is a real regression guard but is NOT independently failing-first — the commit fence is byte-identical pre- and post-fix, so it only fails pre-fix through its shared extraction dependency. Recorded rather than claimed as fail-first. Design: .gsd/phase/feat-3885-no-silent-swallow/40-design.md Test matrix: .gsd/phase/feat-3885-no-silent-swallow/50-test-matrix.md Refs #3885 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3885): escape untrusted tokens, and stop cleanup destroying unpreserved evidence Two review findings, both real, both in my own change. An isolated adversarial review found the evidence-preservation block never checked mkdir/cp exit status while `rm -rf "{run_dir}"` ran unconditionally in a SEPARATE fenced block. A disk-full or unwritable phase directory therefore still destroyed the only copy of the failed lanes' output — reintroducing the exact #3352 data loss this item exists to stop, inside the fix for it. Preservation and cleanup are now one block, because each fenced block is a separate execution and a shell variable cannot carry between them. mkdir -p and each cp are exit-checked; cleanup runs only when preservation succeeded, and a failure warns naming the intact run directory. "Nothing to preserve" is not a failure and still cleans up. Driven three ways: success removes run_dir, failure leaves it intact with the warning, nothing-to-preserve removes it. The failure is induced by a file-vs-directory conflict rather than chmod 0o000, which root bypasses. The new unresolved-depends_on warning embedded a user-authored token verbatim: warnings: ["Plan 03-02: depends_on token \"evil Plan 03-01: FORGED WARNING\" does not resolve ..."] The JSON wire form is safe, and the security reviewer judged it non-exploitable for that reason. It is escaped anyway through formatDiagnosticToken — the helper #3884 added one phase earlier for exactly this class. warnings[] is an array a consumer naturally prints line by line, and not reusing the sibling fix is the generative-fix-divergence shape this epic exists to close. The same treatment is applied to context_read_error / phase_dir_read_error, which embed a phase directory path a repository can choose, and to the fs error message, which echoes the raw path itself. Known limit L5 recorded: the bound is on DEPTH only. A 300,000-element shallow array yields a 14.5MB reply with truncated:false. Correct per §8.5 and per negative space N2, disclosed rather than left to be discovered. Refs #3885 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3885): unreadable is not absent in intel.cts either, and a corrupt snapshot is not "no snapshot" Blocker from the round-2 isolated review, and it is my own inconsistency: this phase applied "unreadable is not absent" to phase directories and left it broken in the file it was already editing. chmod 000 .planning/intel/file-roles.json gsd-tools intel query <term> -> {"matches":[],"total":0,"truncated":false} exit 0 safeReadJson swallowed every read failure and returned null, so an EACCES was byte-indistinguishable from an absent file AND from a genuine no-match. Now it separates three states: ENOENT stays silently absent, because not every project has every intel file and intelQuery loops over all of them expecting misses; EACCES/EIO and malformed JSON are both surfaced naming the file. A corrupt intel file previously read as "no matches" too — same defect, same fix. Threading that outcome through the other three callers found something worse than the reported case. intelDiff returned no_baseline:true for a corrupt or unreadable snapshot — not a silent failure but an actively FALSE verdict, telling the caller they never took a snapshot when they did. That is §8.5's headline case, so it is fixed and tested rather than noted. intelStatus and intelApiSurface collapsed the same way; intelApiSurface additionally printed a "not yet populated" banner that was simply untrue. Every row is failing-first, including the absent-file ones — the field is new, so it does not exist pre-fix at all. Those rows are not pre-fix pins; they pin that the fix does not OVER-fire on the ordinary absent case, which is what would turn this into noise on every project lacking an intel file. IO failure is injected by monkeypatching fs and restoring in finally, never chmod 0o000 — root bypasses mode bits, so the reviewer's manual chmod repro is not reproducible as a test. Refs #3885 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3885): build the pathological intel fixture as text, not by stringifying a nested object The remote runner came back red on Linux with two failures, both T4: deeplyNestedIntelDoesNotOverflowTheStack, while the same test passed on macOS. The product was never at fault. writeNestedFixture(12000) built a 12,000-deep JavaScript OBJECT and then JSON.stringify'd it. JSON.stringify recurses once per level, so it overflowed the TEST PROCESS's stack — the error was thrown before the CLI was ever spawned. Linux's container stack is smaller than macOS's, which is the whole of the platform difference. Measured, with the same document built as JSON TEXT so nothing in the building process recurses: depth=100 rc=0 truncated=true depth=5000 rc=0 truncated=true depth=12000 rc=0 truncated=true depth=60000 rc=0 truncated=true V8 parses this shape iteratively; only stringify recurses. The bound works at every depth tried. The fixture is now built by string concatenation. That is also the more faithful input — a real deeply nested JSON document on disk is exactly what the bound guards, where a stringified object was only ever a way to produce one. The depth stays 12000. Lowering it would have made the test pass by weakening it to accommodate a fixture bug, and 12000 is a legitimate pathological input the product handles. T4 remains a genuine fail-first: rebuilt against the parent of the commit that added the bound, the string-built depth-12000 fixture still drives the CLI to rc=1 with "Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded". A comment records why the fixture is text, so it is not "simplified" back into a macOS-green / Linux-red test. Refs #3885 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#3885): backfill the changeset PR number Refs #3885 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3885): normalize path separators before splicing into the workflow's bash CI red on one lane — test (windows-latest, 24, shard 3/3). macOS, Linux and the remote runner were all green. AssertionError: commit must name the single REVIEWS.md file; got: --files C:UsersRUNNER~1AppDataLocalTempgsd-3352-phasedir-mOKmuy/03-REVIEWS.md Every backslash in C:\Users\RUNNER~1\AppData\Local\Temp\... was eaten. The harness spliced an OS-native temp path into the extracted bash, and bash consumes \U, \A, \L and \T as escapes on an unquoted expansion. The same loss broke RUN_DIR, so "rm -rf" targeted a path that never existed and the run directory survived — which is the other two assertions. This is a fixture defect, not a product one, and that was checked rather than assumed. In production the phase directory is toPosixPath-normalized at every call site that serializes it (bin/lib/init.cjs:951, 1381, 1461, 1529, 1595), and the run directory is created by "mktemp -d" running inside the bash block itself (gsd-core/workflows/review.md:163), which emits POSIX-style output even under Git-Bash on Windows. Neither ever carries a backslash where the workflow reads it. The file's pre-existing #3034 harness splices raw native paths too, but only ever inside double-quoted assignments, so it never tripped this — my new harness followed that convention faithfully into the one place where it does not hold. Both now splice through toPosixPath from shell-command-projection, the established seam, which is a no-op on POSIX and mirrors what production does. No assertion was weakened. "commit must name the single REVIEWS.md file" and "the run dir must still be destroyed" still assert exactly that; only how the fixture supplies its path changed. Nothing is skipped on Windows — a t.skip() here would have hidden the question of whether the exposure was real, which is the question that mattered. Driven both ways: a synthetic C:\Users\RUNNER~1\... input reproduces the exact CI string when unfixed and yields C:/Users/RUNNER~1/... when fixed; a POSIX input produces a byte-identical shape, proving the normalization is idempotent. Refs #3885 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3885): stop the harness making the deleted run dir its own cwd Windows shard 3/3 stayed red after the separator fix, on two assertions the separator fix never touched: AssertionError: the run dir must still be destroyed AssertionError: nothing to preserve is not a failure — run dir must still be removed The separators were a real bug and fixing them fixed the --files assertion. They were not this bug, and two CI cycles went into the wrong axis before I stopped converting path forms and looked at what the harness actually does. runWriteReviewsFlow passed cwd: runDir to runHook, so the child bash process's working directory WAS the directory the block under test then removes with rm -rf "$RUN_DIR". POSIX allows a process to delete its own cwd — verified locally, cd "$d"; rm -rf "$d" removes it cleanly — and Windows does not: a live process's working directory cannot be removed. So on Windows the directory survived and both assertions failed, on macOS and Linux it vanished and they passed. Nothing to do with slashes. Harness-only. Production never cd's into the run directory; every reference is by absolute path, and RUN_DIR is created by mktemp -d inside the bash block itself (gsd-core/workflows/review.md:165) rather than injected. review.md is unchanged. Fix: the child now runs with its cwd in an unrelated temp directory that the block under test never deletes. Neither assertion was weakened, and nothing is skipped on Windows — the tests in this file carry no platform guard and run there unconditionally, which is how this surfaced at all. Honest limit: the Windows failure mode cannot be reproduced on macOS, because POSIX permits the very thing Windows refuses. The diagnosis is grounded in that documented divergence and in the fact that only the Windows lane failed, but the green outcome on windows-latest is unverified until CI runs it.

| 3885 | No Silent Swallow, No Verdict From Dropped Data | v1.7.0 Features |
Purpose: ADR-3473 §8.5 states the rule directly: a failure or a gap in the
input must not be absorbed into an output that reads as authoritative. A
routine that drops data it could not read or could not resolve, and then
reports a clean result anyway, turns a diagnosable gap into a confidently
wrong answer. This closes four instances of that collapse found across
gsd-tools.
intel query no longer crashes past ~12000 levels of nesting (#3427).
searchJsonEntries / matchesInValue recursed with no depth bound at all —
an intel JSON file nested deeply enough overflowed the call stack with an
uncaught RangeError instead of a diagnosis. The original SDK-era bound
(MAX_JSON_SEARCH_DEPTH = 48, lost in the ADR-0174 consolidation) is
restored, paired with a truncated result field: a match at or above the
ceiling is not returned, and the result says so rather than reporting a bare
"not found" that is indistinguishable from a genuine miss. A match at depth
48 (inclusive) or shallower is unaffected; the bound is on nesting depth, not
breadth or total node count, so a shallow object with many siblings still
works unchanged.
phase-plan-index no longer blames the author for an edge the tool itself
dropped (#3427). A depends_on: token that resolves to no plan in the
phase (typo, or a stale cross-phase reference) silently dropped that edge,
making the dependent plan a DAG root — its own docstring recorded the intent
as "ignore this edge, never a throw." The tool then compared the resulting
degraded wave against the plan's declared wave: and reported the author's
correct declaration as a mismatch. The unresolved token is now named in its
own warnings[] entry (plan and token together), and the wave-mismatch
warning is suppressed for that plan only — a plan with no dropped edges and a
genuinely wrong wave: still warns as before. The token is escaped
(quoted, control characters and embedded newlines backslash-escaped) before
it is embedded in the warning text, so a depends_on value crafted to
contain a newline or a quote cannot forge a second, fabricated warning entry.
A code-review run where every lane failed no longer writes REVIEWS.md
from nothing (#3352). review.md's aggregation step wrote REVIEWS.md
regardless of whether any lane actually produced results — a run where every
lane failed still emitted a completed-looking review artifact, and the
per-lane outputs and .err files that would have explained the failure were
then destroyed by the run's own cleanup. REVIEWS.md is now withheld when
the aggregate has zero lines (every lane failed, not merely skipped under a
lower budget), the run reports the failure instead, and per-lane outputs and
non-empty .err files are preserved beside the phase's artifacts before
cleanup runs.
Unreadable directories are distinguished from absent ones (#3473 B5).
Four call sites collapsed an EACCES/EIO on a phase directory into the
same "nothing here" result as a directory that genuinely does not exist —
countPhasePlansAndSummaries (hasContext:false), runGapAnalysis, and two
guarded blocks in init.cts (context_path absent). Each now distinguishes
"could not read" from "does not exist" and names the discarded path and
error in a dedicated field (context_read_error / phase_dir_read_error)
rather than silently reading as absent.
Audited, no defect found: every retry-set / swallowed-catch call site
this phase's rule covers that had not already been fixed by a prior PR
(withPlanningLock, acquireStateLock, atomicRenameWithRetry,
renameWithRetry) was reviewed and found to already fail loudly on a fatal
errno rather than folding it into a retry.
Known limits:
- A match deeper than 48 levels is still not surfaced by
intel query— it is reported as truncated rather than as absent, but the value itself is not returned. Raising the ceiling is a separate decision. phase-plan-index'swaves/wavefields remain computed from the degraded DAG when an edge is dropped — this phase stops the tool from manufacturing a false verdict about it, but does not invent the missing edge. A consumer that schedules work fromwave(e.g.--wave Nfiltering) is still working from the degraded assignment.review.md's evidence preservation is bounded by what a lane actually wrote — a lane that produced no output at all leaves nothing to preserve.
