* fix(#2204): phase-completion writes 'All phases complete' per ADR-2207 completePhaseCore was writing the overloaded bare 'Milestone complete' on the last phase — the same string space the milestone-close verb owns for terminal state. Per ADR-2207, phase-completion now writes the existing intermediate value 'All phases complete' (already used in gsd2-import.cts). Milestone termination ('<version> milestone complete' / 'Awaiting next milestone') remains solely with milestoneCompleteCore. Status lifecycle: Ready to plan → All phases complete → <version> milestone complete → Awaiting next milestone. Changes: - src/state-transition.cts: completePhaseCore status value - src/phase.cts: #2028 guard comment - tests/state-transition.test.cjs: assertion + test name - tests/phase.test.cjs: 8 assertion updates (positive + negative) - tests/state.test.cjs: normalizeStateStatus test case + reset regex - tests/workstream.test.cjs: fixture status to terminal value - gsd-core/workflows/progress.md: Route D label - gsd-core/workflows/transition.md: Route B label - CONTEXT.md: Status lifecycle glossary entry (ADR-2207) - .changeset/brave-geese-jump.md * test(#2204): regenerate golden-install-parity fixtures + workflow-size baseline Workflow file edits (progress.md, transition.md) changed install payload hashes and pushed past the committed workflow-size baseline. Regenerated all 17 golden-install-parity fixtures + claude-local via the standalone gen script (which now also covers the local-scope claude layout). Updated workflow-size-baseline.json and agent-size-baseline.json via size:baseline. * fix(#2204): correct claude-local golden hashes + document gen-script limitation The gen-script's claude-local generation produces macOS-specific hashes incompatible with Linux CI (local-scope install embeds platform-varying node-runner paths). Reverted to manual update using Linux FAILURES.md +actual hashes for the 2 changed workflow files. Added explanatory comment in the gen script. * test(#2204): add isCompletedInventory coverage + clarify CONTEXT.md glossary Addresses orthogonal code-review findings (Medium #1 + #2): - Add isCompletedInventory test cases for ADR-2207 status lifecycle (terminal 'milestone complete' → true; intermediate 'All phases complete' → false; archived → true; active statuses → false) - Clarify CONTEXT.md glossary: note that isCompletedInventory intentionally excludes the intermediate value * docs: backfill changeset PR number (#2259) * docs(#2204): add Status lifecycle table to state-md reference (ADR-2207)
GSD Core documentation
Documentation is organised into four quadrants: tutorials help you learn by doing, how-to guides solve specific tasks, reference states authoritative facts, and explanation explores concepts and design decisions.

Tutorials
- Your first project — install to first shipped phase, one guaranteed path
- Onboarding an existing codebase — bring GSD Core to a brownfield repo
- Build your first capability — author a tiny declarative capability and watch it act in the loop
- Install your first capability — install a third-party capability end-to-end: consent, verify, check for updates, remove
How-to guides
- Install on your runtime — runtime-specific install steps for all 16 supported runtimes
- Install a minimal GSD and add skills later — install only the core skills, then grow the surface with profiles and
/gsd:surface - Attach a plugin-provided skill to a GSD agent — use the
global:plugin:skillentry form to load Claude Code plugin skills into agent prompts - Discuss a phase — capture implementation decisions before planning begins
- Resolve edge-coverage findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced domain-boundary edges into covered, dismissed, or backstopped spec decisions
- Resolve prohibition findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced must-NOT constraints into resolved, dismissed, or deferred spec decisions
- Plan a phase — run research, decompose work, and verify plan quality
- Execute a phase — run plans in parallel waves with fresh-context subagents
- Verify and ship — walk through completed work, diagnose failures, and create the PR
- Run phases autonomously — use autonomous mode for unattended phase execution
- Handle quick and fast tasks — use
/gsd-quickand/gsd-fastfor ad-hoc work outside the phase loop - Configure model profiles — switch between quality, balanced, and budget model tiers
- Set up cross-AI review — configure a second AI to review code produced by the primary agent
- Work in parallel with workstreams — run independent lines of work simultaneously using workstreams
- Isolate work with workspaces — use workspaces to sandbox experimental or risky changes
- Debug a failed execution — diagnose and recover from broken or incomplete phase execution
- Spike and sketch — use
/gsd-spikeand/gsd-sketchfor exploratory work before committing to a plan - Design a UI phase — use the UI phase loop for frontend and visual work
- Develop a Capability for GSD 1.5+ — add feature Capabilities, hook fragments, and registry entries
- Add or update a host's integration — set a host's documentation-sourced
runtime.hostIntegrationaxes (ADR-1239 Phase A), with theundocumentedsentinel rule - Turn a capability off (and keep it off) — disable a capability via the surface, or gate individual hooks off without removing the capability
- Drive GSD from a tracker issue — start a phase from a GitHub, Linear, or Jira issue
- Migrate from GSD 2 — upgrade an existing GSD 2 project to GSD Core
- Update GSD — re-run the installer to pick up the latest release
- Clean up get-shit-done-cc — remove leftover old-package artifacts that cause a spurious
⬆ /gsd:updateindicator after migrating to@opengsd/gsd-core - Fix the worktree base-mismatch (exit 42) error — resolve the branch-divergence condition that halts parallel phase execution
- Recover and troubleshoot — fix common problems, rebuild context, and uninstall

Explanation
- Context engineering — how context rot forms and how GSD Core prevents it
- The phase loop — design rationale for the Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship cycle
- Multi-agent orchestration — how subagents are spawned, scoped, and coordinated
- Security model — trust boundaries, permissions, and safe automation
- The capability trust model — why third-party capabilities are gated by consent + integrity + reversibility, not a sandbox
- How overlay capabilities compose — why first-party always wins and how the loader resolves precedence, conflicts, and fail-open load-failure warnings
- Architecture — system architecture, agent model, and data flow
- Discuss modes — assumptions mode vs interview mode for
/gsd-discuss-phase - Context monitoring — context window monitoring hook architecture
- Issue-driven orchestration — recipe for driving GSD from a tracker issue using existing primitives
