Tom Boucher adb46cdd85 feat(#2734): surface STATE.md commit-age on the statusline (#3700)
* test(#2734): failing-first suite for the statusline STATE.md freshness marker

Binds the contract before any hook change exists: a `state ~N commits back`
segment gated on the state_head stamp landed by #2622, firing at the same
advisory threshold /gsd-health's W024 uses rather than at > 0.

Covers all five acceptance criteria — threshold parity (19/20/21 boundaries),
both renderers including formatGsdStateCompact, an exact spawn-count assertion,
repo-pinning and sub_repos degradation, and behavioral parity against
readStateHeadFreshness rather than a source-grep of the two fence copies.

52 example-based tests plus 5 seeded fast-check properties. Red now by design.

* feat(#2734): surface STATE.md commit-age on the statusline

Adds an opt-in `state ~N commits back` marker to the GSD-state segment,
consuming the `state_head` stamp and freshness contract landed by #2622.
A solo developer returning to a project reads "Phase 4, executing" in
STATE.md and acts on it, without noticing the codebase moved 40 commits
since that line was written. /gsd-health reports it as W024, but only if
you think to run it; the statusline is the surface you see without asking.

Fires at STATE_HEAD_ADVISORY_COMMITS (20), the same threshold W024 uses,
not at > 0: with commit_docs:true the commit carrying a STATE.md sync
advances HEAD by one, so > 0 would alarm permanently on a fresh project.

Costs exactly one bounded git subprocess per render and none when
disabled. `rev-list --left-right --count` answers ancestry and distance
together, and repo pinning is a filesystem check mirroring
projectOwnsItsRepo rather than a --show-toplevel compare, which is
unreliable on macOS /private/var and Windows 8.3 paths.

Every unresolvable input degrades to the tri-state unknown -- the marker
is absent, never a "fresh" claim the project cannot substantiate: a
malformed stamp, a root that does not own its .git, a sub_repos
workspace, history rewound past the stamp, or git being unavailable.

Also collapses statusline config resolution onto one resolveStatuslineOptions()
seam. runStatusline() and renderStatusline() duplicated it byte-for-byte;
one copy is what keeps a newly-added key from reaching only one of them.

* test(#2734): route the e2e spawn through the process seam and fix fixture leaks

Review findings from the two orthogonal passes:

- `bothEntryPointsResolveOptionsIdentically` spawned a child and substring-matched
  its stdout to test a pure function. It now calls resolveStatuslineOptions()
  directly — no subprocess, no text matching.
- `skipsFreshnessWorkWhenTodoTaskActive` genuinely needs a child (the !task gate
  lives in runStatusline, which reads stdin), so it now spawns through
  tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs and proves the negative with a filesystem fact:
  the git shim appends to a marker file on every invocation, and the assertion is
  that the marker never appears. Stronger than asserting text is missing, and it
  drops the last stdout substring match in the block.
- Every fixture-creating test now registers `t.after(() => cleanup(dir))` instead
  of a trailing cleanup(dir), which leaked the temp repo on assertion failure.
  derivationAgreesWithStateModule reassigns `dir` across five fixtures, so it
  binds each directory at scheduling time rather than cleaning only the last.

Also corrects markerCoexistsWithMilestoneComplete, which asserted the wrong
expectation rather than finding a code defect: `percent` drives the progress bar
too, so the milestone segment reads "v1.9 [##########] 100%". The marker appends
after it, which is what the test exists to prove.

CONTEXT.md's opt-in statusline key list was missing statusline.show_git as well
as the new key; both are now enumerated.

Changeset Fragments

This directory holds per-PR CHANGELOG fragments. Every PR with user-facing changes drops one (or more) <random-name>.md files here describing its CHANGELOG entry. Fragments are consolidated into the top-level CHANGELOG.md at release time.

Why

Two PRs that both edit the ### Fixed block of CHANGELOG.md always conflict on merge — git can't pick a serialization order without human input. Two PRs that each add a fresh .changeset/<unique-name>.md never conflict because they don't share lines.

See #2975 for the full rationale.

Adding a fragment

node scripts/changeset/new.cjs \
  --type Fixed \
  --pr 1234 \
  --body "fix the thing — explain the user-visible change in one sentence"

This writes .changeset/<adjective>-<noun>-<noun>.md with frontmatter and a body. Three random words → concurrent PRs don't collide.

Format

---
type: Fixed
pr: 1234
---
**`/gsd-foo` no longer drops trailing slashes** — explain the user-visible change.

Allowed type: values follow Keep a Changelog: Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security.

Opting out

PRs that legitimately have no user-facing impact can add the no-changelog label. CI honors it. When unsure, add the fragment.

At release time

Promotion is automatic. The release workflow's finalize job runs:

node scripts/changeset/cli.cjs render --version vX.Y.Z --date YYYY-MM-DD --allow-empty

This reads every fragment, groups bullets by type:, replaces ## [Unreleased] with a new ## [vX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD block, opens a fresh ## [Unreleased] above, and deletes consumed fragments. The --allow-empty flag ensures a no-change release still gets a dated heading (with a _No notable changes._ placeholder). A subsequent verify step confirms the promotion landed correctly. Maintainers do not run this by hand.

Archived fragments

.changeset/archived/ holds fragments for already-shipped releases (≤ 1.3.1), retained for provenance. Their content was hand-curated into the dated ## [1.x.y] sections of CHANGELOG.md during the #690 backfill — they were never consumed by render. All changeset tooling enumerates .changeset/ non-recursively, so archived fragments are never picked up or rendered. Do not move them back to the top level.
