Tom Boucher 370033e907 fix(phase-dir): apply project_code prefix in plan-milestone-gaps, import, and add-backlog workflows (PRED.k015) (#3306)
* test(phase-dir): add red test for k015 prefix-drift in plan-milestone-gaps and import workflows (#3298)

Asserts that:
- plan-milestone-gaps.md step 8 does not use bare {NN}-{name} mkdir pattern
- plan-milestone-gaps.md step 8 uses phase.add or expected_phase_dir
- import.md plan_convert does not use bare {NN}-{slug} mkdir pattern
- import.md plan_convert uses expected_phase_dir from init.phase-op

These 5 tests are RED until the fix lands.

* fix(phase-dir): add projectCode prefix to phase-dir construction in plan-milestone-gaps and import workflows (#3298)

Both plan-milestone-gaps.md step 8 and import.md plan_convert step were
constructing phase directories using raw {NN}-{name}/{NN}-{slug} template
patterns, bypassing the project_code prefix from .planning/config.json.

Fix: both steps now call `gsd-sdk query init.phase-op <N>` and consume the
`expected_phase_dir` field (which includes the `<CODE>-<NN>-<slug>` prefix
when project_code is set), matching the pattern already established by
PR #3292 for /gsd-discuss-phase and /gsd-plan-phase.

* fix(phase-dir): apply project_code prefix to backlog phase dir in add-backlog workflow (k015 sibling, #3298)

Sibling k015 audit found a third drift site: add-backlog.md step 4 was
constructing the 999.x backlog phase directory using raw ${NEXT}-${SLUG}
without applying the project_code prefix from .planning/config.json.

Fix: read project_code via `gsd-sdk query config-get project_code --raw`
and prepend `${CODE}-` when set, matching the pattern used by phase.insert
(which already applies project_code to decimal phases in phase.cjs line 736).

Also extends bug-3298 regression test to cover this third site.

* chore(changeset): add changeset for #3298 phase-dir prefix drift fix

* chore(changeset): set pr: 3306 in changeset for #3298; resolve stash conflict in live-command-registry.cjs

The conflict was cosmetic (string concat → template literals) introduced by
accidental git stash during test verification. Taking the newer template-literal
form throughout.

Add Backlog Item Workflow

Invoked by /gsd-capture --backlog (commands/gsd/capture.md).

Adds an idea to the ROADMAP.md backlog parking lot using 999.x numbering. Backlog items are unsequenced ideas that aren't ready for active planning — they live outside the normal phase sequence and accumulate context over time.

Step 1: Read ROADMAP.md

Check for existing backlog entries:

cat .planning/ROADMAP.md

Step 2: Find next backlog number

NEXT=$(gsd-sdk query phase.next-decimal 999 --raw)

If no 999.x phases exist yet, phase.next-decimal returns 999.1. Sparse numbering is fine (e.g. 999.1, 999.3) — always use phase.next-decimal, never guess.

Step 3: Write ROADMAP entry

Write the ROADMAP entry BEFORE creating the directory. Directory existence is a reliable indicator that the phase is already registered, which prevents false duplicate detection in any hook that checks for existing 999.x directories (#2280).

Add under a ## Backlog section. If the section doesn't exist, create it at the end of ROADMAP.md:

## Backlog

### Phase {NEXT}: {description} (BACKLOG)

**Goal:** [Captured for future planning]
**Requirements:** TBD
**Plans:** 0 plans

Plans:
- [ ] TBD (promote with /gsd-review-backlog when ready)

Step 4: Create the phase directory

Apply the project_code prefix (if set in .planning/config.json) so the backlog directory name is consistent with all other phase-creation paths:

SLUG=$(gsd-sdk query generate-slug "$ARGUMENTS" --raw)
PROJECT_CODE=$(gsd-sdk query config-get project_code --raw 2>/dev/null || echo "")
PREFIX=$([ -n "$PROJECT_CODE" ] && echo "${PROJECT_CODE}-" || echo "")
PHASE_DIR=".planning/phases/${PREFIX}${NEXT}-${SLUG}"
mkdir -p "${PHASE_DIR}"
touch "${PHASE_DIR}/.gitkeep"

Step 5: Commit

gsd-sdk query commit "docs: add backlog item ${NEXT} — ${ARGUMENTS}" --files .planning/ROADMAP.md "${PHASE_DIR}/.gitkeep"

Step 6: Report

## 📋 Backlog Item Added

Phase {NEXT}: {description}
Directory: {PHASE_DIR}/

This item lives in the backlog parking lot.
Use /gsd-discuss-phase {NEXT} to explore it further.
Use /gsd-review-backlog to promote items to active milestone.
- 999.x numbering keeps backlog items out of the active phase sequence - Phase directories are created immediately so /gsd-discuss-phase and /gsd-plan-phase work on them - No `Depends on:` field — backlog items are unsequenced by definition - Sparse numbering is fine (999.1, 999.3) — always uses next-decimal - Promote backlog items to the active milestone with /gsd-review-backlog
