0xdhx c516c39b33 fix(#3203): stop npm-global installs validating bundled agents against themselves (#3229)
* 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.

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.
