Tom Boucher ad3b9ec486 chore(#1671): fragmentize plan-phase.md and repair flag forwarding to the init bundle — Phase 6.2 (#3019)
* chore(#2993): fragmentize plan-phase.md onto the fragment model

Epic #1671 Phase 6.2. plan-phase.md is the largest workflow in the repo and
carried zero markers; it was deferred out of the Phase 3 pilot for two
reasons, both now dead. The 36-byte PRE_PHASE6 headroom was never the
blocker it looked like — fragmentizing is net-negative on host source, so
the trim is what creates the room. The --mvp interleaving was resolved by
measurement in #2992 and no sub-line mechanism is built.

- widen WHEN_VOCABULARY 14 -> 19 via a second coordinated ADR-1671
  amendment: flag:--ingest, flag:--prd, flag:--research-phase,
  flag:--reviews, state:chunked-mode
- state:chunked-mode is `--chunked` OR config workflow.plan_chunked, and
  that disjunction is resolved in the FACT, never in the grammar, so a
  compound condition never becomes an operator
- parse the new flags on the plan-phase route; extract six gated bodies to
  gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/ behind manifest-gated stubs
- prd-express-path.md was already extracted but read unconditionally; its
  wrapper is now gated, so the existing extraction finally pays off

plan-phase.md 94,483 -> 87,575 bytes (cap 94,519): headroom goes from 36
bytes to 6,944.

Also closes a surfaced docs gap: five real plan-phase flags (--chunked,
--skip-ui, --bounce, --skip-bounce, --granularity) were documented in
neither the argument-hint nor help. Making --chunked load-bearing without
fixing its siblings would leave the defect class half-open.

* fix(#2993): forward flags to the init bundle so section gating actually fires

Blocker found by the correctness review, confirmed directly, and missed by
both the isolated reviewer and every test in this branch.

Neither workflow forwarded its flags to the init CLI:

  plan-phase.md:71    INIT=$(gsd_run query init.plan-phase "$PHASE" $GRAN_PARAM)
  execute-phase.md:84 INIT=$(gsd_run query init.execute-phase "${PHASE_ARG}")

So every flag: atom was permanently false in production and its section
permanently excluded. For plan-phase that made the PRD express path
UNREACHABLE — a regression, since it was an unconditional read before.
For execute-phase this is PRE-EXISTING: #2932 shipped `flag:--wave` gating
that has never once been true, so `--wave` silently dropped its own
wave-filtering guidance. Fixed here under the no-defer rule.

Why every test missed it: they drive the init CLI directly with flags,
which works. Production goes through the workflow's bash line, which did
not pass them — the exact "assert against the shape production uses" trap
this branch's own test matrix warns about.

- parse and forward --prd/--ingest/--research-phase/--reviews/--chunked
  (plan-phase) and --wave (execute-phase), using the anchored regex idiom
  the neighbouring GRAN_PARAM line already uses
- add a regression guard DERIVED FROM THE MANIFEST: for every flag:--X
  section, the owning workflow's init line must forward --X. It fails
  against the pre-fix files and covers any future atom, rather than
  spot-checking today's six.

Verified through the workflow shape, not the CLI shape: `3 --prd spec.md`
now yields ["prd-express-gate"] (was []), `2 --wave 2` yields
["partial-wave"] (was []).

* test(#2993): acknowledge the execute-phase ripple and regenerate install-tree fixtures

Remote matrix was red with 46 unique failures, identical on both lanes.
Both causes are mechanical consequences of changing shipped workflow
content, and neither is visible to any local gate.

- emitted-attribution: execute-phase.md grew 163 bytes from the WAVE_PARAM
  forwarding fix and was unacknowledged, while the ack fragment named
  plan-phase.md, which SHRANK and therefore needed no ack at all — a stale
  entry is itself a failure. The reason now names the real ripple.
  The entry had to merge into the existing 2930 fragment: the ack linter
  does unconditional cross-fragment duplicate-key detection with no
  spent/live exception, so a second fragment declaring execute-phase.md
  collides even when the first is already merged and inert. Resolved per
  the linter's own guidance and that file's precedent of appending
  successive ripple reasons to one entry.
- golden-install-tree: tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json are committed and
  deliberately excluded from the ADR-2719 attribution cutover, so they must
  be regenerated when shipped tree content changes. Regenerated after
  build:lib per the ordering landmine. 19 runtimes each gained exactly the
  six new plan-phase step files; zero paths removed, which is the absolute
  failure shape those fixtures exist to catch.

Refs #2993

* fix(#2993): restore the launcher preamble in an extracted step and follow moved content in its drift guards

Second red run: 26 unique failures, identical on both lanes, in two classes.

RUNTIME BUG (runtime-launcher-parity, 7 failures) — chunked-planning-mode.md
calls gsd_run but carried no canonical launcher preamble, which is what
DEFINES gsd_run(). On any non-Claude runtime that step would fail outright.
The preamble is now copied verbatim from the canonical source of truth,
gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh, and the fence dedented to
column 0 to match the prd-express-path.md sibling (a list-continuation
indent breaks the byte-equal preamble match). prd-express-path.md already
had a correct one. This is the same defect #2932 hit when it extracted
steps; the parity test caught a real bug, not a stale assertion.

DRIFT GUARDS (plan-phase-drift-guard, issue-2762-plan-reviews-chunked,
skill-frontmatter-contract) — these assert plan-phase.md contains content
this branch moved into step files. Retargeted at where the content now
lives, with the asserted property unchanged; the ALL-RUNTIMES label COUNT
test now reads host + every step file so the count is preserved across the
split rather than reduced. Each retargeted guard was verified to still fail
when its step file is stripped, so none was weakened into vacuity.

No emitted-drift ack was needed: currentSizes() enumerates
gsd-core/workflows/*.md non-recursively, so files under
plan-phase/steps/ are never in the size ratchet's scope.

Create executable phase prompts (PLAN.md files) for a roadmap phase with integrated research and verification.

Default flow: Research (if needed) → Plan → Verify → Done

Research-only mode (--research-phase <N>): Spawn gsd-phase-researcher for phase N, write RESEARCH.md, then exit before the planner runs. Useful for cross-phase research, doc review before committing to a planning approach, and correction-without-replanning loops where iterating on research alone is dramatically cheaper than re-spawning the planner. Replaces the deleted research-phase command (#3042).

Research-only modifiers:

  • No flag — when RESEARCH.md already exists, auto-uses it: emits a one-line notice and exits cleanly, no prompt.
  • --research — force-refresh: re-spawn the researcher unconditionally, no prompt. Bypasses the existing-RESEARCH.md auto-use path.
  • --view — view-only: print existing RESEARCH.md to stdout. Does not spawn the researcher. Cheapest mode for the correction-without-replanning loop. If no RESEARCH.md exists yet, errors with a hint to drop --view.

Orchestrator role: Parse arguments, validate phase, research domain (unless skipped), spawn gsd-planner, verify with gsd-plan-checker, iterate until pass or max iterations, present results.

<execution_context> @/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase.md @/.claude/gsd-core/references/ui-brand.md </execution_context>

<runtime_note> Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent — vscode_askquestions is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API. Do not skip questioning steps because AskUserQuestion appears unavailable; use vscode_askquestions instead. </runtime_note>

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (optional — when omitted, the orchestrating workflow reads ROADMAP.md and selects the next unplanned phase; `gsd-tools.cjs` itself has no auto-detect feature and requires an explicit phase number)

Flags:

  • --research — Force re-research even if RESEARCH.md exists
  • --skip-research — Skip research, go straight to planning
  • --gaps — Gap closure mode (reads VERIFICATION.md, skips research)
  • --skip-verify — Skip verification loop
  • --prd <file> — Use a PRD/acceptance criteria file instead of discuss-phase. Parses requirements into CONTEXT.md automatically. Skips discuss-phase entirely.
  • --ingest <path-or-glob> — Use one or more ADR files instead of discuss-phase. Parses locked decisions + scope fences into CONTEXT.md automatically. Skips discuss-phase entirely.
  • --ingest-format <auto|nygard|madr|narrative> — Optional ADR parser format override (auto default).
  • --reviews — Replan incorporating cross-AI review feedback from REVIEWS.md (produced by /gsd:review)
  • --text — Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for /rc remote sessions)
  • --mvp — MVP enrichment on top of the default tracer-first ordering: frames the phase goal as a user story and, on Phase 1 of a new project, also emits SKELETON.md (Walking Skeleton). Vertical slicing itself is now the default (see --no-tracer); --mvp no longer turns it on. Can be persisted on a phase via **Mode:** mvp in ROADMAP.md.
  • --no-tracer — Opt out of the default tracer-first decomposition and plan horizontal layers (the legacy default). By default every plan LEADS with one production-quality end-to-end tracer slice that is verified before any expansion task.
  • --no-reversibility-gates — Suppress the human checkpoint that a one-way-door decision normally earns, for runs you intend to leave unattended. By default a decision rated one-way (undo needs a migration, breaks a published contract, or is impossible) gets a checkpoint:decision before the task implementing it. Ratings are still recorded on tasks and costly items still flagged — the flag changes what stops the run, not what the plan remembers.

Normalize phase input in step 2 before any directory lookups.

Execute end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (validation, research, planning, verification loop, routing).
