* wip(#3217): rule-4 scope withholding — parked, two open findings Implemented but NOT shippable. An isolated review found buildStateFrontmatter still hardcodes SCOPE.COMPLETE, so state json reports percent 0 where roadmap analyze, stats and query progress all correctly report null on the same disk state - rule 4 reintroduced at a site this phase claims to close. Also: roadmap analyze emits scope complete beside progress_percent null with nothing explaining it. Parked to build Phase 4 (#3186) first, which is unblocked. Findings recorded in .gsd/phase/refactor-3217-completion-ratio-scoping/60-review.json. * fix(#3217): withhold the sync percentage on a non-complete scope The parked blocker is fixed - buildStateFrontmatter no longer hardcodes SCOPE.COMPLETE, and the prose Progress fallback is gated too, which was a second leak found while tracing the first. roadmap analyze exposes progress_scope so a consumer can tell WHY a percentage is absent from the JSON alone. Then a residual gap was reproduced rather than assumed. cmdStateSync carried the same hardcode behind a written reason claiming it did not reproduce. It did: on a TRUNCATED window and on UNSCOPED row 4, state sync wrote Progress 0 percent to 100 percent while state json, roadmap analyze, stats and query progress all withheld - and it persisted a self-contradictory file, body claiming 100 percent while its own frontmatter correctly omitted percent. The excuse was also wrong. syncRoadmapRaw is already parsed in that function and is exactly what produces a real scope, so there was a scope to pass. Threaded through listMilestonePhaseDirs; a non-complete scope now skips the write with a reason in changes. milestoneBounded stays as the orthogonal 1761 guard for row 5. Second time this epic a does-not-reproduce claim was too generous. Recorded in ADR Amendment 8 as a correction rather than a quiet rewrite. Verified on the remote runner. * test(#3217): give the withholding fixtures a resolvable scope 40 matrix failures, all fixture drift - no code regression. My own hypothesis that this was over-withholding was wrong and is recorded as such: the worry case, a plain ROADMAP with Phase entries and no version heading, resolves to complete exactly as ADR 7.1 says it should. The real causes were two fixture shapes. Most had no ROADMAP.md at all, which is unreadable via a pre-existing graceful path, and asserted a numeric percent. The five vscode, pi-extension, mcp-server and shell-projection failures were that shape - bare temp dirs using progress json as a reachability proxy while asserting typeof percent is number, which under rule 4 is now null. The rest had a version token in a title or heading with no STATE.md milestone pointer to resolve it, which is classification row 4, versioned but unresolved, so withholding is correct per the contract. Verified on the remote runner. * test(#3217): make the LM-tools reachability tests dispatch against their fixture The gsd_progress reachability test was never testing its fixture. invoke() resolves cwd from vscode.workspace.workspaceFolders by design (the real LanguageModelToolInvocationOptions has no cwd field, per the 2103 fix in extension.js), the mock had no workspace at all, and the test passed a cwd option nothing reads - so it dispatched against the repo working directory. Writing a ROADMAP into the temp dir had no effect. Rule 4 only made it visible. Fixed by mocking workspaceFolders. The two siblings in the same file carried the identical dead cwd and were dispatching against the repo too; they were not failing only because their assertions did not touch scope-dependent output. Both now use their own fixture with assertions unchanged - the no-planning fallback paths already satisfy them honestly. Re-scanned the other five reachability files: no further instances. They thread cwd into parameters that genuinely read it, not through an options shape that ignores it. Verified on the remote runner. * chore(#3217): backfill changeset PR number pr:0 placeholder replaced with the real number now that #3318 exists. * ci(#3217): give the coverage merge enough heap for the merged shards The coverage gate OOMed at exit 134. c8 report merges three shard artifacts, roughly 358MB of V8 dumps in coverage/tmp, and died holding their per-file position maps at the ~4GB default heap. Verified as this branch's delta rather than pre-existing: the same job succeeded on next at 14:18, after phases 4 and 5 merged. Both coverage-gate steps get the bump because both re-slice the same merged data. 8192 doubles what failed and leaves headroom on a 16GB ubuntu runner, matching the idiom the shard step already uses at 6144. This is a memory bound, not a change to what is measured. No threshold was touched. The test file was checked for gratuitous subprocess spawning and is already reasonable at 43 spawns, each a distinct fixture-by-surface pairing. Verified on the remote runner. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>
Architecture Decision Records
This directory contains Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for GSD.
Each ADR documents one architectural decision: what was decided, why, and what consequences follow. ADRs are append-only. Amendments extend existing ADRs with a dated section rather than replacing them.
Reading this corpus
Start with the index below, and respect the status. The index is grouped so that the first table — Active decisions — is the set that governs the system as it stands. An ADR in Superseded, Retired, and Legacy is historical: it records what was once decided and names what replaced it. Do not cite it as current architecture.
Two things the index makes explicit, because getting them wrong has actually misled readers here:
- "Read first" on an active ADR points at a broader ADR that now frames it. A decision can be entirely correct and still not be the whole picture. The runtime capability descriptor (ADR-1016) is live and load-bearing, but ADR-1239 (EoS — GSD as an Embeddable Orchestration Engine) subsumes it as the declarative adapter and inverts its direction: GSD is the engine a host embeds, not an installer that projects onto a host. For how GSD meets a host, EoS is the current frame.
Proposedmeans not ratified — and it is kept honest. On 2026-07-17 the corpus was audited against the shipped tree and nine ADRs whose decisions had demonstrably shipped were ratified toAccepted, each carrying a dated Ratification section with the evidence (see ADR-857 for the fullest example). The ADRs that remainProposedareProposedfor a reason recorded in the file — an unmet acceptance criterion, an outstanding phase, or a successor ADR already planned — not through neglect. Trust the label; if you think it is wrong, prove it in a dated section and see Ratifying a staleProposed.
Naming Convention
New ADRs use issue#-prefix slug naming:
docs/adr/<issue#>-<kebab-slug>.md
Examples: 2264-golden-parity-redesign.md, 1239-gsd-embeddable-orchestration-engine.md.
Why
Two developers computing "next ADR number" locally against main will independently pick the same integer and both ship. The collision is already on disk — 0010-* exists twice and 0011-* exists three times. GitHub issue numbers are server-assigned and atomic: the moment you open an issue, that number is reserved globally. Two PRs that both edit the ### Fixed block of CHANGELOG.md always conflict on merge — two PRs that each use a distinct issue# as their ADR prefix never collide. Same shape, same solution.
Legacy naming is not Legacy status
Files 0001-* through 0012-* are preserved as immutable historical record of the old local-compute numbering. The duplicate 0010-* and the three-way 0011-* are documented residue of that convention — not patterns to imitate. Do not renumber them.
This is the single authoritative statement of the legacy range.
docs/contributor-standards.mdreferences it rather than restating it, so the two cannot drift.
Two other zero-padded files look legacy but are not: 0174-retire-gsd-sdk-package-boundary.md (issue #174) and 0656-research-module-seam.md (issue #656) are mis-padded modern ADRs — modern, issue-numbered files whose four-digit padding is a mistake. They are NOT part of the legacy sequential set above and are not "old local-compute numbering" residue.
This is a statement about filenames only. Many of those ADRs are Accepted and load-bearing today (ADR-0002, ADR-0004, ADR-0008, ADR-0009). An old filename says nothing about whether a decision still holds. The Legacy status in the table below is a separate claim — see the vocabulary.
Because 0010-* and 0011-* each resolve to more than one file, a bare cross-reference like "ADR-0011" is genuinely ambiguous. Link the file (see Lifecycle rules).
Full process
See CONTRIBUTING.md — "Proposing an ADR or PRD" for the end-to-end workflow: opening the issue, waiting for approval, naming the file, and submitting the PR.
PRDs live in docs/prd/, not here. (0011-review-default-reviewers-prd.md predates that directory and is kept in place as frozen historical record.)
Lifecycle rules
These are enforced by scripts/gen-adr-index.cjs, which runs in CI via npm run lint:generated-sync. A violation fails the build with the exact file and fix.
1. Every ADR declares one status from the canonical vocabulary
The first word of the Status field must be one of:
| Status | Means | Obligation |
|---|---|---|
Accepted |
Decided and in force. Cite it. | — |
Proposed |
Decided in principle, not ratified. Do not cite as settled. | If the work has demonstrably shipped, ratify it (below) — do not leave the label lying. |
Superseded |
A specific newer ADR replaced this decision. | Must name the successor as a file link. |
Retired |
What this ADR decided no longer exists at all, and no single ADR replaced it. | Say what was removed and when. |
Legacy |
Frozen historical record, kept for provenance; not a pattern to follow. | Say why it is frozen. |
Prose may follow the token (Superseded by [ADR-0174](0174-retire-gsd-sdk-package-boundary.md) (2026-05-23); originally Accepted (2026-05-09)). Both the bullet form (- **Status:** Accepted) and the table form (| **Status** | Accepted |) are accepted.
2. Cross-references to other ADRs are file links, never bare ids
Write [ADR-0011](0011-skill-surface-budget-module.md), not ADR-0011. Bare ids are ambiguous for 0010/0011, and unlinked references cannot be checked.
If you mean an issue, write #857 — not ADR-857. (An ADR and its owning issue often share a number; that is intentional and not a conflict.)
3. Supersession and subsumption are symmetric
These are different relations. Do not conflate them:
Supersedes/Superseded by— the target is replaced. Its status becomesSuperseded.Subsumes/Subsumed by— the target still holds, but a broader ADR now frames it. Its status is unchanged; it becomes a component of the larger decision.
If A declares either relation toward B, B must record the reciprocal. A one-way pointer is the failure this corpus actually suffered: ADR-1239 declared it subsumed four ADRs, none of which said so, and none of which pointed back — so a reader landing on any of them concluded the superseded frame was the way forward.
Only an Accepted ADR is owed the back-link. A Proposed ADR's claim is prospective: it has not taken effect, so its target is not marked. On ratification, the check begins demanding the back-links.
4. The declared id matches the filename
An H1 of # ADR-0175: … in a file named 218-*.md is a rename that never finished. The id in the title must match the filename's prefix.
5. A trailing H1 status bracket must agree with the Status field
Many ADRs restate their status in the H1 — # ADR-1610: … [Accepted]. That bracket is the first thing a reader sees, and the index strips it when rendering the title, so a stale one used to be invisible to everyone but the reader it misled.
If the H1 ends in a bracket holding a status token, it must name the same status as the Status field. Comparison is case-insensitive and against the parsed token, so [Superseded] agrees with Status: Superseded by [ADR-0174](0174-retire-gsd-sdk-package-boundary.md) (2026-05-23).
A trailing bracket that is not a status token — [Draft], [WIP] — is treated as part of the title and left alone. If you want a bracket the gate ignores, do not spell it like a status.
6. Every relative link resolves
A link whose target does not exist on disk fails the check, naming the file, the line, and the unresolved target. This covers every markdown file in this directory, including this README and any file whose name breaks the convention above.
| Written as | Treated as |
|---|---|
[t](900-beta.md), [t](../prd/) |
resolved — a directory counts |
[t](900-beta.md#section) |
the file is resolved; the #fragment is not checked |
[t](https://…), [t](mailto:…), [t](//host/x) |
out of scope — absolute destinations are never fetched |
[t](#lifecycle-rules) |
out of scope — a same-document anchor is not a file reference |
[t](/docs/adr/x.md) |
resolved against the repository root, as GitHub does |
a link inside a ``` fence or `backticks` |
not a link — markdown does not render one there, so it is never resolved |
[text][ref] reference-style, <a href>, bare autolinks |
not supported; write an inline link |
Two consequences worth stating outright:
- Case matters, on every platform.
[t](0001-Alpha.md)pointing at0001-alpha.mdfails even on macOS and Windows, because it 404s on github.com and reds the Linux CI lane. The failure names the entry it found so the fix is obvious. - A link to a generated or ignored path fails. Nothing here consults
.gitignore; the question is only whether a reader following the link lands somewhere. Cite the hand-authored source rather than the build artifact.
If the gate rejects something you wrote
Reproduce it locally first — it is the same command CI runs, and it names the file, the line, and the target:
node scripts/gen-adr-index.cjs --check
Then work from the reason:
| What it says | What to do |
|---|---|
does not resolve — no such file or directory at … |
Fix the path. It is relative to docs/adr/, so a sibling ADR is just 900-slug.md. If the target genuinely does not exist yet, drop the link rather than leaving it pointing nowhere. |
…Did you mean X? — link targets are case-sensitive on github.com |
Match the on-disk name exactly. Your machine may open the file regardless; github.com and the Linux CI lane will not. |
escapes the repository |
The path resolves outside the repo. Link something inside it, or use an absolute URL — those are out of scope and never checked. |
is a symlink that escapes the repository |
An ADR file itself is a symlink pointing outside the repo. Commit a real file. |
H1 status bracket […] contradicts the Status field (…) |
Update whichever of the two is stale so they agree. The Status field is authoritative; the bracket is a restatement for the reader. |
A link that is an example, not a destination, belongs in backticks. The gate skips fenced blocks and inline code entirely, because markdown does not render a link there. That is the escape hatch for illustrative syntax — the table above is written that way, which is why it does not fail this check. An indented code block (four spaces) is not skipped; use backticks.
To consume the result from a script rather than by eye, use --json (below) and branch on each violation's stable reason code.
Ratifying a stale Proposed
A stale Proposed is not cosmetic: it tells contributors and agents that live architecture is an unbuilt idea. Fix it — but on evidence, not vibes.
The bar. All four must hold before flipping to Accepted:
- The decided mechanism demonstrably exists in the tree — name the files, symbols, and tests.
- The owning issue is closed as completed. A closed issue is not proof:
stateReasonof not planned / duplicate means the decision was dropped (that isLegacyorRetired, notAccepted). - No material part is unshipped. If the ADR defines phases and one is outstanding, or states its own bar for acceptance and that bar is unmet, it stays
Proposed. - No later ADR supersedes it, and no approved issue already plans its graduation as separate work.
The procedure. Set the status to Accepted — ratified <date> (originally Proposed <date>), add a dated ## Ratification section holding the evidence, then run node scripts/gen-adr-index.cjs --write. If the ADR claims to supersede or subsume others, the gate will now demand their back-links — that is the point. Ratify deliberately.
Two traps worth knowing, both hit during the 2026-07-17 audit:
- Shipped code is necessary, not sufficient. Eight ADRs had every named module, symbol, and test present and their epics closed — and still failed the bar: ADR-2264's own headline acceptance criterion is unmet in the tree, ADR-230's decided branch protection does not match the live API, ADR-660's namesake mechanism is performed by hand, and ADR-959 has an approved issue planning its graduation as its own ADR. Verify the decision, not just the code.
- "Supersedes" is often "subsumes". Read what the ADR means before the gate makes you act on what it says. ADR-857 said "Supersedes (generalizes)"; taken literally, ratifying it would have stamped two live seams (ADR-0011, ADR-58) as dead. The parenthetical was the truth; the field name was wrong.
Maintaining the index
The index is generated. Do not hand-edit it. Everything between the ADR-INDEX:START / ADR-INDEX:END markers is derived from the ADR files themselves:
node scripts/gen-adr-index.cjs # print the index
node scripts/gen-adr-index.cjs --write # regenerate it into this file
node scripts/gen-adr-index.cjs --check # CI: fail if stale or invalid
node scripts/gen-adr-index.cjs --json # same checks, machine-readable report
After adding an ADR, or changing any ADR's status or relations, run --write and commit the result. npm run lint:generated-sync runs --check in CI, so a missing or stale row fails the build rather than rotting silently.
--json runs the same validation as --check and writes a report to stdout instead of prose to stderr, with the same exit code. Each violation carries a stable reason code, so a tool consuming this never has to pattern-match an error message:
{
"ok": false,
"adrCount": 76,
"indexStale": false,
"violations": [
{ "file": "2704-example.md", "line": 41, "reason": "link_unresolved",
"target": "reference/x.md", "resolved": "docs/adr/reference/x.md" }
]
}
An unrecognized flag is rejected rather than ignored.
This replaces a hand-maintained table that had drifted to 40 of 65 ADRs — the entire capability family and EoS itself were missing from it, which is precisely why the ADRs a reader most needed were the ones they could not find.

Seam map
Orientation for the module-ownership ADRs. This section is prose and hand-maintained; the index above is the authority on status.
How GSD meets a host — start at ADR-1239 (EoS). It is the current frame and subsumes the descriptor/projection ADRs (ADR-1016, ADR-58, ADR-3660, ADR-894) as adapters beneath it.
The SDK seam map is gone. ADR-0005 was once the entry point for SDK module ownership; it is superseded by ADR-0174, which retired the @opengsd/gsd-sdk package boundary entirely. There is no sdk/ tree. Read ADR-0174 for the single-runtime collapse; the seam-Module vocabulary survives under one src/.
ADR-0006 documents how query handlers project planning paths (cwd → effectiveRoot → .planning/<project>/...). Cross-reference the Planning Workspace Module (ADR-0004) for workstream pointer policy.
ADR-0008 documents the Installer Migration Module for safe install-time moves, removals, config rewrites, and user-data preservation.
ADR-0009 documents the Shell Command Projection Module seam for runtime-aware projection of installer-owned command text and projection IR. Its Phases 3–4 absorbed the File Operation Engine Module (ADR-0010).
ADR-0011 documents the Skill Surface Budget Module for install-time skill/agent profile staging (--profile=<name>, .gsd-profile marker, requires: closure) and the Phase 2 runtime /gsd:surface command.
ADR-1411 establishes the Resolution Provenance principle: context resolution (config loading, project-root anchoring, workstream resolution) must report its provenance rather than fall open silently to defaults. It is the resolution-side analog of ADR-227 (input-validation shape).
