Tom Boucher b37c487325 feat(security): package legitimacy gate against slopsquatting (#3215)
* feat(security): package legitimacy gate against slopsquatting (#2827)

GSD's research → plan → execute pipeline had no install-time legitimacy
gate: a hallucinated package name that passes `npm view` could flow all
the way to `gsd-executor` running `npm install <malicious-pkg>` with no
human checkpoint. This PR closes that gap.

Changes:
- gsd-phase-researcher: runs slopcheck on every recommended package;
  emits `## Package Legitimacy Audit` table; strips [SLOP] packages;
  ecosystem-specific verification (pip/npm/cargo); WebSearch-sourced
  packages tagged [ASSUMED]; ctx7 fallback uses `command -v` guard
  instead of `npx --yes`
- gsd-planner: injects `checkpoint:human-verify` before [ASSUMED]/[SUS]
  installs; adds T-{phase}-SC STRIDE row to <threat_model> template;
  ctx7 fallback also uses `command -v` guard
- gsd-executor: RULE 3 excludes package installs from auto-fix; failed
  installs surface as checkpoints, never silent substitutions
- tests/package-legitimacy-gate.test.cjs: 24 structural assertions
  covering the full gate (node:test + node:assert, no raw .includes())
- docs: USER-GUIDE, COMMANDS, ARCHITECTURE updated with gate description
- .changeset: Security fragment for v1.51 release notes

Closes #2827

* docs: expand Package Legitimacy Gate documentation

Add full user-facing depth to the gate docs across USER-GUIDE,
COMMANDS, and ARCHITECTURE:

- USER-GUIDE: rewrite gate section with concrete RESEARCH.md/PLAN.md
  examples, slopcheck verdict table, [ASSUMED] WebSearch tagging
  explanation, slopcheck-unavailable troubleshooting, and graceful
  degradation behavior
- COMMANDS.md: expand /gsd-plan-phase gate note with verdict bullets;
  add install-failure checkpoint behavior to /gsd-execute-phase
- ARCHITECTURE.md: expand gate section with threat model rationale,
  layer table, claim provenance integration, ecosystem coverage, and
  graceful degradation semantics

* fix(security): harden package legitimacy checkpoint semantics

* fix(planner): satisfy size gates and tighten package gate wording

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

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

Reads every fragment, groups bullets by type:, replaces ## [Unreleased] with a new ## [vX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD block, opens a fresh ## [Unreleased] above, deletes consumed fragments. Idempotent.
