Tom Boucher bad2c76c5e feat(#1826): cmdStateRebuild CLI + dry-run + verbose + integration tests + docs (#1830)
Phase 2 of approved feature #1817. Wires the pure `rebuildCore` transition
(Phase 1, #1827) to the `gsd state rebuild` CLI subcommand per ADR-1817
§5 (heavy/manual counterpart to lightweight, auto-triggered `state sync`).

Source changes:
- src/state.cts: implement cmdStateRebuild. Locks via
  readModifyWriteStateMd (real path) or read-only (dry-run). Wires
  phaseInventoryProvider to a real .planning/phases/ disk scan (same
  canonical source buildStateFrontmatter uses). --dry-run emits a
  structured preview without writing. --verbose tees the audit-log
  entries to stderr (treated as data-only per ADR-1577).
- src/state-command-router.cts: register cmdStateRebuild in the
  StateModule interface + add the rebuild handler with --dry-run and
  --verbose flag parsing.
- src/command-aliases.cts: register the state.rebuild canonical +
  'state rebuild' alias + mutation=true (so the manifest covers the
  new subcommand for SDK parity / dispatch hub tests).

Tests (tests/state-rebuild-cli.test.cjs, 5 cases):
- state rebuild with no flags reconciles drifted body + drops orphan
  table rows + appends audit log (end-to-end #1, #2, audit log).
- state rebuild --dry-run computes the diff, writes nothing (criterion #5).
- state rebuild --verbose tees the log; audit-log section still written.
- Running rebuild twice on the just-rebuilt file is byte-identical
  (criterion #6 end-to-end).
- Missing STATE.md produces a clean 'STATE.md not found' message, no
  stack trace (CONTRIBUTING QA matrix).

Verified locally:
- node --test tests/state-rebuild-cli.test.cjs → 5/5 pass
- node --test tests/state-rebuild.test.cjs → 18/18 pass (Phase 1 regression)
- node --test tests/state-transition.test.cjs → 85/85 pass (ADR-1769 regression)

Docs (docs/COMMANDS.md): document `state rebuild [--dry-run] [--verbose]`
with the canonical-command block format used by `state sync` /
`state prune`.

Changeset (.changeset/1817-state-rebuild.md): type=Added, user-facing
description of the new subcommand (closes #1817 epic on merge).

What is GSD Core

GSD Core is a context-engineering and spec-driven development framework that drives AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Kimi CLI, Copilot, Cursor, and more) through a disciplined phase loop. It solves context rot — the quality degradation that accumulates as an AI fills its context window — by running all heavy research, planning, and execution work in fresh-context subagents while keeping your main session lean.


How it works

Each milestone repeats the same five-step loop, one phase at a time:

  1. Discuss — capture implementation decisions before anything is planned
  2. Plan — research, decompose, and verify the plan fits a fresh context window
  3. Execute — run plans in parallel waves; each executor starts with a clean 200k-token context
  4. Verify — walk through what was built; diagnose and fix before declaring done
  5. Ship — create the PR, archive the phase, repeat for the next one

Quickstart

npx @opengsd/gsd-core@latest

The installer prompts for your runtime (Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Kimi CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) and whether to install globally or locally. The installer is required for cross-runtime compatibility — do not copy files from agents/ or commands/ directly.

On another runtime or without Node.js? See Install on your runtime.

Once installed, start your first project:

/gsd-new-project

Why it works

Most AI-coding setups fail at scale because context bloat silently degrades output quality, there is no shared memory between sessions, and nothing verifies that code actually works. GSD Core solves all three: heavy work runs in fresh subagents, structured artifacts like STATE.md and CONTEXT.md survive session boundaries, and the verify step walks through what was built and generates fix plans before a phase is declared done. See docs/explanation/context-engineering.md for the full reasoning.
