* fix(#2402): honor response_language across orchestrator output + UAT checkpoint renderer Replays the in-flight bot branch fix/2402-response-language-orchestrator-coverage (seven commits, never pushed) onto current origin/next as a single squashed commit. The original work was substantial and correct; this commit preserves its full scope, trimmed where rebase conflicts + workflow size budgets required it. Three independent layers where response_language was being dropped are closed: Layer 1 — orchestrator-facing directives across workflows. Adds the strong "All user-facing output in this workflow MUST be presented in {response_language}; technical terms, code, paths, and subagent prompts stay in English" directive to ~40 workflows that previously either lacked it entirely (verify-work, new-project, new-milestone, quick, manager, and ~35 more) or carried only the weak subagent-prompt-only form (plan-phase, execute-phase). The directive covers narration between tool calls and banner output, not just the AskUserQuestion prompts. Layer 2 — UAT checkpoint renderer (src/uat.cts). buildCheckpoint now accepts an optional responseLanguage parameter and renders the frame strings ("CHECKPOINT: Verification Required", "Type `pass` or describe what's wrong.") in any of 9 languages (English/Spanish/French/German/Portuguese/Japanese/ Chinese/Korean/Italian) with an alias table covering ~30 input variants (en, es, español, ja, 日本語, etc.). cmdRenderCheckpoint reads config.response_language via loadConfig(cwd) and passes it through, so the byte-for-byte block verify-work.md reprints verbatim is already localized when written — preserving the anti-injection hygiene rule at verify-work.md (the model is forbidden to translate after the fact). CJK display width is computed by East Asian Width property ranges (W/F) so the right ║ border of the banner stays aligned for full-width characters. English fallback is byte-identical to the pre-fix behavior when response_language is unset or unrecognized. Layer 3 — literal English report templates in execute-phase. The top-of- workflow directive covers all template sites (templates are a structural source, not literal output). Inline render-language notes that previously sat at each template site were removed during the squash because they pushed execute-phase.md over its frozen pre-phase-6 byte ceiling (93600 — ADR-857 Phase 6 capstone). The single top directive covers the same surface with fewer bytes. Also extends src/docs.cts and src/init.cts to propagate response_language into the init JSON bundle of the additional workflows so the directive can read it. Tests added: - tests/uat.test.cjs: buildCheckpoint with unset/unrecognized language falls back to English default; recognized language swaps only the two frame strings while structural lines stay untouched; CJK display-width regression (independent recomputation of East Asian Width W/F ranges). - tests/workspace.test.cjs, tests/docs-update.test.cjs: response_language wiring through docs.cts/init.cts. References: #2402; reporter's three-layer triage + Layer-4 follow-up; the byte-for-byte anti-injection hygiene rule at verify-work.md (the reason Layer 2 must be renderer-side, not model-translated). This is a squash of the in-flight bot branch — seven commits representing the original implementation plus its subsequent fix/CJK-padding/test/ changeset/regen cycles, none of which were ever pushed or PR'd. The squash captures the final coherent state. * chore(#2402): backfill pr:2457 in .changeset/2402-response-language-orchestrator-coverage.md * chore(#2402): regen golden + size baseline after rebase against #2315 (PR #2451) Rebase conflicts were entirely in generated artifacts (golden-install-parity fixtures + workflow-size-baseline.json). After taking theirs during rebase, regenerated cleanly against the merged source tree.
GSD Core documentation
Documentation is organised into four quadrants: tutorials help you learn by doing, how-to guides solve specific tasks, reference states authoritative facts, and explanation explores concepts and design decisions.

Tutorials
- Your first project — install to first shipped phase, one guaranteed path
- Onboarding an existing codebase — bring GSD Core to a brownfield repo
- Build your first capability — author a tiny declarative capability and watch it act in the loop
- Install your first capability — install a third-party capability end-to-end: consent, verify, check for updates, remove
How-to guides
- Install on your runtime — runtime-specific install steps for all 16 supported runtimes
- Install a minimal GSD and add skills later — install only the core skills, then grow the surface with profiles and
/gsd:surface - Attach a plugin-provided skill to a GSD agent — use the
global:plugin:skillentry form to load Claude Code plugin skills into agent prompts - Discuss a phase — capture implementation decisions before planning begins
- Resolve edge-coverage findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced domain-boundary edges into covered, dismissed, or backstopped spec decisions
- Resolve prohibition findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced must-NOT constraints into resolved, dismissed, or deferred spec decisions
- Plan a phase — run research, decompose work, and verify plan quality
- Execute a phase — run plans in parallel waves with fresh-context subagents
- Verify and ship — walk through completed work, diagnose failures, and create the PR
- Run phases autonomously — use autonomous mode for unattended phase execution
- Handle quick and fast tasks — use
/gsd-quickand/gsd-fastfor ad-hoc work outside the phase loop - Configure model profiles — switch between quality, balanced, and budget model tiers
- Set up cross-AI review — configure a second AI to review code produced by the primary agent
- Work in parallel with workstreams — run independent lines of work simultaneously using workstreams
- Isolate work with workspaces — use workspaces to sandbox experimental or risky changes
- Debug a failed execution — diagnose and recover from broken or incomplete phase execution
- Spike and sketch — use
/gsd-spikeand/gsd-sketchfor exploratory work before committing to a plan - Design a UI phase — use the UI phase loop for frontend and visual work
- Develop a Capability for GSD 1.5+ — add feature Capabilities, hook fragments, and registry entries
- Add or update a host's integration — set a host's documentation-sourced
runtime.hostIntegrationaxes (ADR-1239 Phase A), with theundocumentedsentinel rule - Turn a capability off (and keep it off) — disable a capability via the surface, or gate individual hooks off without removing the capability
- Drive GSD from a tracker issue — start a phase from a GitHub, Linear, or Jira issue
- Migrate from GSD 2 — upgrade an existing GSD 2 project to GSD Core
- Update GSD — re-run the installer to pick up the latest release
- Clean up get-shit-done-cc — remove leftover old-package artifacts that cause a spurious
⬆ /gsd:updateindicator after migrating to@opengsd/gsd-core - Fix the worktree base-mismatch (exit 42) error — resolve the branch-divergence condition that halts parallel phase execution
- Recover and troubleshoot — fix common problems, rebuild context, and uninstall

Explanation

- The phase loop — design rationale for the Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship cycle
- Multi-agent orchestration — how subagents are spawned, scoped, and coordinated
- Security model — trust boundaries, permissions, and safe automation
- The capability trust model — why third-party capabilities are gated by consent + integrity + reversibility, not a sandbox
