Tom Boucher cf8bd3cd5e fix(#683): auto-degrade phase execution to sequential on worktree base mismatch (#749)
* fix(#683): auto-degrade phase execution to sequential on worktree base mismatch

Claude Code forks worktree-isolated executors off the repository default
branch (origin/HEAD), not the orchestrator's HEAD. Running /gsd-execute-phase
on a branch diverged from the default (unmerged milestone/feature branch) left
every executor without the phase's plan files and tripped the
worktree-branch-check guard with `exit 42` — 100% reproducible, all OSes.

- New module src/worktree-base-ref.cts: HEAD-vs-fork-base drift detection
  (origin/HEAD with symbolic-ref fallback) and no-clobber worktree.baseRef
  management, exposed as `worktree base-check` / `worktree set-baseref`.
- execute-phase.md: pre-dispatch, for Claude Code with worktrees enabled,
  auto-degrades the run to sequential on the main tree when a base mismatch
  is detected, recommending worktree.baseRef:"head". The exit-42 guard stays
  as a backstop.
- Installer: fresh local Claude installs set worktree.baseRef:"head" in
  .claude/settings.local.json (no-clobber, respecting an explicit shared
  settings.json value); upgrades print an opt-in notice pointing at
  `gsd-tools worktree set-baseref`.
- Docs: how-to guide, CLI/config reference, planning-config cross-ref.

* fix(#683): auto-apply worktree.baseRef on upgrade; gate fresh+upgrade on use_worktrees

Per maintainer direction: on a local Claude Code UPGRADE, set
worktree.baseRef:"head" automatically (no opt-in notice) when the project's
workflow.use_worktrees is enabled, instead of merely printing a remediation
notice. For consistency the FRESH path is now gated the same way: both paths
compute worktrees-enabled once (bounded walk-up read of .planning/config.json,
default enabled unless workflow.use_worktrees === false) and apply the
no-clobber baseRef only when enabled — never overwriting an explicit value in
settings.local.json or a shared settings.json. gsd-tools worktree set-baseref
remains for manual use. Docs + changeset updated; tests hardened (file-exists
assertions, fresh+disabled case, upgrade idempotency).

* fix(#683): measure workflow byte-budget on LF, fixing Windows-only CI failure

The workflow-size-budget test failed only on Windows: git checks out the .md
files as CRLF (no eol=lf in .gitattributes) and byteCount used
fs.statSync().size (raw on-disk bytes), counting an extra \r per line. That
inflated execute-phase.md — the XL high-water-mark file pinned near its ceiling
by the tighten-only ratchet — from 88492 LF bytes to ~90245 on Windows, over
the 90000 XL ceiling, while passing on the LF-checkout Mac/Linux runners.

The ceilings are explicitly "calibrated against raw `wc -c`" on an LF checkout,
so the measurement should be LF-based on every platform. byteCount now reads the
file and counts Buffer.byteLength after stripping CR, making the budget
platform-independent (a no-op on LF checkouts; verified statSync === normalized
for all 88 workflow files). No ceilings changed. Added a regression test
asserting CRLF and LF content of the same file count identically.

* fix(#683): make worktree-base-ref test path mocks Windows-safe (path.join)

tests/worktree-base-ref.test.cjs keyed its injected readFile/writeFile mocks
(and a few expected `file` values) with forward-slash template literals like
`${claudeDir}/settings.local.json`. The module composes those paths with
path.join(), which emits backslashes on Windows, so the mock keys never matched
the module's lookup → readFile returned null → resolveEffectiveBaseRef /
cmdWorktreeBaseCheck / cmdWorktreeSetBaseRef (and the JSONC variants) failed on
the Windows full-test runner only (they passed on Mac/Linux, and the install
tests passed because they use the real filesystem). The module is correct;
only the test fixtures hardcoded '/'.

All mock keys and path assertions now use path.join(base, ...) mirroring the
module, so they match on every platform (no-op on POSIX). 19 path references
across 16 lines.

GSD Shipped Surface Inventory

Authoritative roster of every shipped GSD surface: commands, agents, workflows, references, CLI modules, and hooks. Where the broad docs (AGENTS.md, COMMANDS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CLI-TOOLS.md) diverge from the filesystem, treat this file and the repository tree itself as the source of truth.

How To Use This File

  • Counts here are derived from the filesystem at the v1.36.0 pin and may drift between releases. For live counts, run ls commands/gsd/*.md | wc -l, ls agents/gsd-*.md | wc -l, etc. against the checkout.
  • This file enumerates every shipped surface across all six families (agents, commands, workflows, references, CLI modules, hooks). Broad docs may render narrative or curated subsets; when they disagree with the filesystem, this file and the directory listings are authoritative.
  • New surfaces added after v1.36.0 should land here first, then propagate to the broad docs. The drift-control tests in tests/inventory-counts.test.cjs, tests/commands-doc-parity.test.cjs, tests/agents-doc-parity.test.cjs, tests/cli-modules-doc-parity.test.cjs, tests/hooks-doc-parity.test.cjs, tests/architecture-counts.test.cjs, and tests/command-count-sync.test.cjs anchor the counts and roster contents against the filesystem.

This is the authoritative roster of every shipped GSD Core surface. See the docs index to navigate by topic.


Agents (33 shipped)

Full roster at agents/gsd-*.md. The "Primary doc" column flags whether docs/AGENTS.md carries a full role card (primary), a short stub in the "Advanced and Specialized Agents" section (advanced stub), or no coverage (inventory only).

Coverage note. docs/AGENTS.md gives full role cards for 21 primary agents plus concise stubs for the 12 advanced agents. The Agent Tool Permissions Summary in that file covers only the primary 21 agents; the advanced agents' tool lists are captured in their per-agent frontmatter in agents/gsd-*.md.


Commands (67 shipped)

Full roster at commands/gsd/*.md. The groupings below mirror docs/COMMANDS.md section order; each row carries the command name, a one-line role derived from the command's frontmatter description:, and a link to the source file. tests/command-count-sync.test.cjs locks the count against the filesystem.

Namespace Meta-Skills

These six routers are descriptor-only entries that the model picks first; the body of each contains a routing table that points at the correct concrete sub-skill. They exist to keep the eager skill-listing token cost low while the full surface remains reachable. See #2792 for the rationale; the routing tables target the post-#2790 consolidated surface.

Note: Some workflows have no direct user-facing command (e.g. execute-plan.md, verify-phase.md, transition.md, node-repair.md, diagnose-issues.md) — they are invoked internally by orchestrator workflows. discovery-phase.md is an alternate entry for /gsd-new-project.

Maintenance

  • When a new command, agent, workflow, reference, CLI module, or hook ships, update the corresponding section here before the release is cut.
  • The drift-guard tests under tests/ (see "How To Use This File" above) assert that every shipped file is enumerated in this inventory. A new file without a matching row here will fail CI.
  • When the filesystem diverges from docs/ARCHITECTURE.md counts or from curated-subset docs (e.g. docs/AGENTS.md's primary roster), this file is the source of truth.
