Tom Boucher cf15682d1c enhance(#3028): responsive Markdown separators instead of fixed-width rules (#3789)
* feat(#3028): responsive Markdown separators instead of fixed-width rules

Stage banners, checkpoints, completion and error panels used fixed-width
runs of box-drawing characters -- a 53-column heavy rule and a 62-column
double-line box. Those runs are ordinary text to a Markdown-rendering
host, so in a narrower pane they wrap and the border comes apart from
the heading it framed.

Shipped content now emits an ATX heading for a titled section and a
blank-line-delimited --- for a break between sections, both of which
adapt to the available width. The same convention is applied to the
three code sites that built these strings at runtime: the UAT
checkpoint renderer, the milestone-close audit report, and the TDD
review checkpoint table.

Removing the box also removes its only reason to exist -- the
east-asian-width padding helpers that kept its right border aligned
(checkpointBoxLine, displayWidth, isWideCodePoint, ZERO_WIDTH_MARK_RE,
CHECKPOINT_BOX_WIDTH). RTL directional isolation is unchanged.

The convention is specified in gsd-core/references/ui-brand.md and
enforced across all shipped content by tests/responsive-separators.test.cjs.

* test(#3028): pin the heading form in checkpoint and audit-report assertions

These suites asserted the exact box borders and the 62-column padded
banner interior. With the box gone they assert the ### heading form,
the --- break and the bolded instruction line, and each now carries a
positive assertion that no box character remains -- which is what pins
the fix rather than merely tolerating it.

Language coverage is converted, not dropped: Japanese, Chinese, Korean,
Hindi and Arabic all still assert their rendered banner, and the Arabic
case still asserts the RTL directional isolates the box removal must
not disturb. Adds a case for a banner longer than the old inner width,
which previously produced a ragged border and now has none.

* chore(#3028): acknowledge execute-plan.md growth from the checkpoint display spec

The checkpoint_protocol display spec described the drawn box; it now
describes the heading, the --- break and the bolded action prompt,
which costs 22 bytes (40111 -> 40133, 827 under the cap).

Appended to the existing #3370 fragment rather than filed as a new one:
a growth ack keys on the bare filename and #3370 already declares
execute-plan.md, so a second source naming it would be a hard
duplicate-key error. Same supersede-by-append route #3370 took for the
spent #2652 fragment.

* docs(#3028): state the load-bearing half of the separator rule, and amend the zh-CN reference

Review found three things.

The rule as first written demanded a blank line above AND below every
---. Only the one above is load-bearing: it is what stops CommonMark
reading the rule as a setext underline for the line above. The one below
is cosmetic, because a thematic break is a leaf block. The rule now says
that, with the reason, instead of asserting a stricter form the content
does not keep.

The zh-CN reference had received the mechanical box-to-heading swap but
none of the prose behind it: it still claimed a 62-character checkpoint
width and still listed --- among forbidden mixed banner styles, so it
contradicted the convention it was translating. It now carries the
separator section, the setext reasoning, the unconditional-vs-per-runtime
rationale and a corrected anti-pattern list, in Chinese.

The user guide asserted that a heading is not a degradation anywhere.
That is an assertion, not a demonstration. It now says what was actually
traded away in a plain terminal, points at the recorded rationale, and
invites the report that would justify the capability flag instead.

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.
