* fix(#3203): stop npm-global installs validating bundled agents against themselves getAgentsDir's claude branch derived the agents directory from __dirname, which is correct for repo runs and runtime-config-dir installs (where <root>/../agents IS the user's agents dir) but on an npm-global install resolves to the package's own bundled agents/, so checkAgentsInstalled validated the package against itself and agents_installed could never be false. The new-project and new-milestone halt/warn gates were silently dead for npm-global users. Keep the install-relative path for the shapes where it is correct, but when it lies inside a node_modules tree — the provably self-validating case — resolve getGlobalConfigDir('claude')/agents like every other runtime, honouring CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR. GSD_AGENTS_DIR stays priority 1. Repair the doc comment that asserted the __dirname form was correct for both install shapes. Regression test mirrors the published npm-global layout (package under node_modules with a complete bundled agents/) and pins the resolved directory plus the issue's negative control (one agent missing from the config dir → agents_installed:false). Verified red against pre-fix code, green post-fix; the repo-layout W010 health test stays green. * chore(#3203): set changeset fragment pr to 3229 * docs(#3203): describe the node_modules guard as lexical, in CONTEXT.md and at the call site The Agent Install Check Module glossary entry asserted that Claude resolves the agents directory `__dirname`-relative unconditionally. That is the premise this PR falsified: on an npm-global install the install-relative path resolves to the package's own bundled `agents/`, so the check validated the package against itself and `agents_installed` could never be false. The inline doc comment above `getAgentsDir` was repaired with the fix; this external predicate was left behind and has been false since. CONTRIBUTING.md's `Fixed`-fragment docs exemption names this case explicitly — "Edit the docs anyway if a fix corrects something the docs got wrong." Both surfaces now describe the guard as what it is: an exact, case-sensitive path-segment test that TARGETS those layouts rather than detecting them, so neither claims more certainty than the predicate has. The call-site comment carried the same conflation the glossary did. A path merely carrying a directory of that name resolves the same way — the edge already disclosed on this PR — and a non-empty GSD_AGENTS_DIR overrides it. Comment-only in `src/`; no behaviour change. `CONFIG.LOCATION.SEAM.two-families` needs no change: `GSD_AGENTS_DIR -> getAgentsDir priority 1` is still accurate. --------- Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>
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.
