Tom Boucher f2decefede fix(#3010): post-install message and docs use /gsd-update --reapply (#3012)
* fix(#3010): post-install message and docs use /gsd-update --reapply

PR #2824 consolidated 86 skills into ~58, removing the standalone
/gsd-reapply-patches command and folding it into a flag on /gsd-update
(/gsd-update --reapply). The 1.39.1 hotfix (#2954) updated help.md
but missed three other surfaces that still recommended the dead form:

1. bin/install.js reportLocalPatches() — runtime emitter shown after
   every install with backed-up patches. All branches updated:
   - claude/opencode/kilo/copilot: /gsd-update --reapply
   - gemini: /gsd:update --reapply
   - codex: $gsd-update --reapply
   - cursor: gsd-update --reapply (mention the skill name)

2. get-shit-done/workflows/update.md — Step 4 prose and the
   check_local_patches block both referenced /gsd-reapply-patches.
   Replaced with /gsd-update --reapply (with backticks around the
   command per CR feedback for copy/paste UX).

3. Localized docs (en/ja-JP/ko-KR/zh-CN) — 14 files across
   ARCHITECTURE.md / COMMANDS.md / FEATURES.md / INVENTORY.md /
   USER-GUIDE.md / manual-update.md still listed the removed command.

Tests:
- bug-3010-reapply-patches-references.test.cjs (4 tests): scans
  bin/install.js's reportLocalPatches body, every workflow file, and
  every doc (excluding CHANGELOG history and help.md's deprecation
  notice) for the removed command form, and verifies each runtime
  branch emits the consolidated form via captured console output.
- tests/copilot-install.test.cjs:1081-1115 — stale assertions that
  hard-coded the removed string updated to assert /gsd-update --reapply.

Verification: 115/115 pass across both files.

Closes #3010

* test(#3010): broaden dead-command scan + tighten runtime exact-match

CodeRabbit follow-up findings on #3012:

1. Workflow + docs scans only matched "/gsd-reapply-patches", missing
   the gemini ("/gsd:reapply-patches") and codex ("$gsd-reapply-patches")
   spellings. A regression that re-introduced either form in localized
   docs would have passed silently. Extracted a DEAD_COMMAND_PATTERNS
   array + findDeadCommands() helper used by both scans, so all three
   removed forms are checked uniformly. Match output also reports which
   spellings hit, for faster diagnosis.

2. reportLocalPatches runtime test asserted output.includes('update --reapply'),
   which is too loose — a malformed prefix like '/gsd:update --reapply' on
   the claude branch would have passed. Replaced with an exact
   {runtime → expected token} map covering all 7 branches:
     claude/opencode/kilo/copilot → /gsd-update --reapply
     gemini → /gsd:update --reapply
     codex → $gsd-update --reapply
     cursor → gsd-update --reapply
   Negative assertion also runs DEAD_COMMAND_PATTERNS against output for
   every runtime, so dead forms can't slip in regardless of branch.

Verification: 4/4 pass on bug-3010-reapply-patches-references.test.cjs.

* test(#3010): add prefix-absence guard for cursor runtime (CR follow-up)

CodeRabbit (Minor): the cursor expected token "gsd-update --reapply" is
a substring of every prefixed form ("/gsd-update --reapply" for claude/
opencode/kilo/copilot, "\$gsd-update --reapply" for codex). The positive
output.includes(expectedToken) check therefore can't distinguish correct
cursor output from a regression where the installer emits a prefixed
form for cursor — both pass the substring check.

Add an explicit prefix-absence assertion for cursor that fails if any
of /, \$, or : appears immediately before "gsd-update --reapply" in
output. The gemini form ("/gsd:update --reapply") doesn't share the
substring (gsd:update vs gsd-update) so it's already caught by the
positive includes failing on cursor's expected bare token.

Verification: 4/4 pass.

Check for GSD updates via npm, display changelog for versions between installed and latest, obtain user confirmation, and execute clean installation with cache clearing.

<required_reading> Read all files referenced by the invoking prompt's execution_context before starting. </required_reading>

Detect whether GSD is installed locally or globally by checking both locations and validating install integrity.

First, derive PREFERRED_CONFIG_DIR and PREFERRED_RUNTIME from the invoking prompt's execution_context path:

  • If the path contains /get-shit-done/workflows/update.md, strip that suffix and store the remainder as PREFERRED_CONFIG_DIR
  • Path contains /.codex/ -> codex
  • Path contains /.gemini/ -> gemini
  • Path contains /.config/kilo/ or /.kilo/, or PREFERRED_CONFIG_DIR contains kilo.json / kilo.jsonc -> kilo
  • Path contains /.config/opencode/ or /.opencode/, or PREFERRED_CONFIG_DIR contains opencode.json / opencode.jsonc -> opencode
  • Otherwise -> claude

Use PREFERRED_CONFIG_DIR when available so custom --config-dir installs are checked before default locations. Use PREFERRED_RUNTIME as the first runtime checked so /gsd-update targets the runtime that invoked it.

Kilo config precedence must match the installer: KILO_CONFIG_DIR -> dirname(KILO_CONFIG) -> XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kilo -> ~/.config/kilo.

Parse output:

  • Line 1 = installed version (0.0.0 means unknown version)
  • Line 2 = install scope (LOCAL, GLOBAL, or UNKNOWN)
  • Line 3 = target runtime (claude, opencode, gemini, kilo, or codex)
  • Line 4 = resolved GSD config dir (e.g. /Users/me/.claude, /Users/me/.gemini); empty if scope is UNKNOWN. Capture this as GSD_DIR and pass it to subsequent steps so they don't have to re-derive the runtime path.
  • If scope is UNKNOWN, proceed to install step using --claude --global fallback.

If multiple runtime installs are detected and the invoking runtime cannot be determined from execution_context, ask the user which runtime to update before running install.

If VERSION file missing:

## GSD Update

**Installed version:** Unknown

Your installation doesn't include version tracking.

Running fresh install...

Proceed to install step (treat as version 0.0.0 for comparison).

Check npm for latest version via the deterministic script. **Do NOT run `npm view` or `npm search` directly** — the package name must come from the script, not from a free choice at execution time. (#2992: LLM-driven prescriptions of npm package names produced wrong-package queries; moving the package name into a script constant closes that gap.)

The GSD_DIR value emitted by get_installed_version (line 4) resolves to the runtime-specific config dir (~/.claude/, ~/.gemini/, ~/.codex/, etc.), so the script invocation works for every runtime — not just Claude. If GSD_DIR is empty (scope UNKNOWN), skip this step and go directly to install.

LATEST_RESULT is a JSON document with the documented shape { ok: bool, version: string, reason: string, detail?: string }. Parse via jq ONLY when the script actually ran. When GSD_DIR is empty (scope UNKNOWN), skip the check entirely and seed the parsed fields with their no-op values so downstream logic does not mistake an unset LATEST_RESULT for a failed network check (#2993 CR feedback):

if [ -z "$GSD_DIR" ]; then
  # No install detected — fall through to install step; version-check is skipped.
  LATEST_RESULT=""
  LATEST_STATUS=0
  LATEST_OK=false
  LATEST_VERSION=""
  LATEST_REASON="no_install_detected"
else
  LATEST_RESULT="$(node "$GSD_DIR/get-shit-done/bin/check-latest-version.cjs" --json 2>/dev/null)"
  LATEST_STATUS=$?
  # #2993 CR: when node is missing or the script doesn't exist, LATEST_RESULT
  # is empty and piping it to `jq` produces a parse error on stderr while
  # leaving LATEST_OK / LATEST_REASON as empty strings. Fail the check with a
  # meaningful reason instead of a blank diagnostic.
  if [ -n "$LATEST_RESULT" ]; then
    LATEST_OK="$(printf '%s' "$LATEST_RESULT" | jq -r '.ok // false')"
    LATEST_VERSION="$(printf '%s' "$LATEST_RESULT" | jq -r '.version // empty')"
    LATEST_REASON="$(printf '%s' "$LATEST_RESULT" | jq -r '.reason // empty')"
  else
    LATEST_OK=false
    LATEST_VERSION=""
    LATEST_REASON="script_not_found_or_node_unavailable"
  fi
fi

If LATEST_OK is not true (or LATEST_STATUS is non-zero):

Couldn't check for updates (reason: {LATEST_REASON}, exit: {LATEST_STATUS}).

To update manually: `npx get-shit-done-cc --global`

Exit.

Compare installed vs latest:

If installed == latest:

## GSD Update

**Installed:** X.Y.Z
**Latest:** X.Y.Z

You're already on the latest version.

Exit.

If installed > latest:

## GSD Update

**Installed:** X.Y.Z
**Latest:** A.B.C

You're ahead of the latest release — this looks like a dev install.

If you see a "⚠ dev install — re-run installer to sync hooks" warning in
your statusline, your hook files are older than your VERSION file. Fix it
by re-running the local installer from your dev branch:

    node bin/install.js --global --claude

Running /gsd-update would install the npm release (A.B.C) and downgrade
your dev version — do NOT use it to resolve this warning.

Exit.

**If update available**, fetch and show what's new BEFORE updating:
  1. Fetch changelog from GitHub raw URL
  2. Extract entries between installed and latest versions
  3. Display preview and ask for confirmation:
## GSD Update Available

### What's New
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

## [1.5.15] - 2026-01-20

### Added
- Feature X

## [1.5.14] - 2026-01-18

### Fixed
- Bug fix Y

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

⚠️  **Note:** The installer performs a clean install of GSD folders:
- `commands/gsd/` will be wiped and replaced
- `get-shit-done/` will be wiped and replaced
- `agents/gsd-*` files will be replaced

(Paths are relative to detected runtime install location:
global: `~/.claude/`, `~/.config/opencode/`, `~/.opencode/`, `~/.gemini/`, `~/.config/kilo/`, or `~/.codex/`
local: `./.claude/`, `./.config/opencode/`, `./.opencode/`, `./.gemini/`, `./.kilo/`, or `./.codex/`)

Your custom files in other locations are preserved:
- Custom commands not in `commands/gsd/` ✓
- Custom agents not prefixed with `gsd-` ✓
- Custom hooks ✓
- Your CLAUDE.md files ✓

If you've modified any GSD files directly, they'll be automatically backed up to `gsd-local-patches/` and can be reapplied with `/gsd-update --reapply` after the update.

Text mode (workflow.text_mode: true in config or --text flag): Set TEXT_MODE=true if --text is present in $ARGUMENTS OR text_mode from init JSON is true. When TEXT_MODE is active, replace every AskUserQuestion call with a plain-text numbered list and ask the user to type their choice number. This is required for non-Claude runtimes (OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.) where AskUserQuestion is not available. Use AskUserQuestion:

  • Question: "Proceed with update?"
  • Options:
    • "Yes, update now"
    • "No, cancel"

If user cancels: Exit.

Before running the installer, detect and back up any user-added files inside GSD-managed directories. These are files that exist on disk but are NOT listed in `gsd-file-manifest.json` — i.e., files the user added themselves that the installer does not know about and will delete during the wipe.

Do not use bash path-stripping (${filepath#$RUNTIME_DIR/}) or node -e require() inline — those patterns fail when $RUNTIME_DIR is unset and the stripped relative path may not match manifest key format, which causes CUSTOM_COUNT=0 even when custom files exist (bug #1997). Use gsd-sdk query detect-custom-files when gsd-sdk is on PATH, or the bundled gsd-tools.cjs detect-custom-files otherwise — both resolve paths reliably with Node.js path.relative().

First, resolve the config directory (RUNTIME_DIR) from the install scope detected in get_installed_version:

# RUNTIME_DIR is the resolved config directory (e.g. ~/.config/opencode, ~/.gemini)
# It should already be set from get_installed_version as GLOBAL_DIR or LOCAL_DIR.
# Use the appropriate variable based on INSTALL_SCOPE.
if [ "$INSTALL_SCOPE" = "LOCAL" ]; then
  RUNTIME_DIR="$LOCAL_DIR"
elif [ "$INSTALL_SCOPE" = "GLOBAL" ]; then
  RUNTIME_DIR="$GLOBAL_DIR"
else
  RUNTIME_DIR=""
fi

If RUNTIME_DIR is empty or does not exist, skip this step (no config dir to inspect).

Otherwise run detect-custom-files (prefer SDK when available):

GSD_TOOLS="$RUNTIME_DIR/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs"
CUSTOM_JSON=''
if [ -n "$RUNTIME_DIR" ] && command -v gsd-sdk >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  CUSTOM_JSON=$(gsd-sdk query detect-custom-files --config-dir "$RUNTIME_DIR" 2>/dev/null)
elif [ -f "$GSD_TOOLS" ] && [ -n "$RUNTIME_DIR" ]; then
  CUSTOM_JSON=$(node "$GSD_TOOLS" detect-custom-files --config-dir "$RUNTIME_DIR" 2>/dev/null)
fi
if [ -z "$CUSTOM_JSON" ]; then
  CUSTOM_JSON='{"custom_files":[],"custom_count":0}'
fi
CUSTOM_COUNT=$(echo "$CUSTOM_JSON" | node -e "process.stdin.resume();let d='';process.stdin.on('data',c=>d+=c);process.stdin.on('end',()=>{try{console.log(JSON.parse(d).custom_count);}catch{console.log(0);}})" 2>/dev/null || echo "0")

If CUSTOM_COUNT > 0:

Back up each custom file to $RUNTIME_DIR/gsd-user-files-backup/ before the installer wipes the directories:

BACKUP_DIR="$RUNTIME_DIR/gsd-user-files-backup"
mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"

# Parse custom_files array from CUSTOM_JSON and copy each file
node - "$RUNTIME_DIR" "$BACKUP_DIR" "$CUSTOM_JSON" <<'JSEOF'
const [,, runtimeDir, backupDir, customJson] = process.argv;
const { custom_files } = JSON.parse(customJson);
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
for (const relPath of custom_files) {
  const src = path.join(runtimeDir, relPath);
  const dst = path.join(backupDir, relPath);
  if (fs.existsSync(src)) {
    fs.mkdirSync(path.dirname(dst), { recursive: true });
    fs.copyFileSync(src, dst);
    console.log('  Backed up: ' + relPath);
  }
}
JSEOF

Then inform the user:

⚠️  Found N custom file(s) inside GSD-managed directories.
    These have been backed up to gsd-user-files-backup/ before the update.
    Restore them after the update if needed.

If CUSTOM_COUNT == 0: No user-added files detected. Continue to install.

Run the update using the install type detected in step 1:

Build runtime flag from step 1:

RUNTIME_FLAG="--$TARGET_RUNTIME"

If LOCAL install:

npx -y get-shit-done-cc@latest "$RUNTIME_FLAG" --local

If GLOBAL install:

npx -y get-shit-done-cc@latest "$RUNTIME_FLAG" --global

If UNKNOWN install:

npx -y get-shit-done-cc@latest --claude --global

Capture output. If install fails, show error and exit.

Clear the update cache so statusline indicator disappears:

  case "$1" in
    "~/"*) printf '%s/%s\n' "$HOME" "${1#~/}" ;;

# Clear the shared tool-agnostic cache written by gsd-check-update.js hook (#2784).
# The hook uses ~/.cache/gsd/gsd-update-check.json regardless of runtime; clear it
# so the statusline stops showing the stale "⬆ /gsd-update" indicator after update.
rm -f "$HOME/.cache/gsd/gsd-update-check.json"

The SessionStart hook (gsd-check-update.js) writes to the detected runtime's cache directory, so preferred/env-derived paths and default paths must all be cleared to prevent stale update indicators.
