Tom Boucher d16a66479a feat(#1950): broken-windows ledger — cross-phase defect register gating ship (#2441)
* feat(#1950): broken-windows ledger — cross-phase defect register gating ship

Adds a new  capability (#1950) that operationalizes GSD's
no-defer discipline as a tracked, enforced artifact:
accumulates stubs, TODOs, skipped tests, unrun verifies, and unmet truths
across phases, and /gsd-ship blocks while any entry is open.

Implementation:
- src/broken-windows.cts → gsd-core/bin/lib/broken-windows.cjs: typed IR +
  I/O entry points (parseLedger/renderLedger/appendWindow/markWaived/markFixed
  + cmdWindowsStatus/Append/Waive/MarkFixed). Frozen REASON enum for typed
  error assertions. Windows-safe atomic rename with retry on transient
  EPERM/EBUSY/EACCES.
- gsd-tools.cjs: new  subcommand (status | append | waive | fixed),
  wired via routeWindows + HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS.windows.
- capabilities/broken-windows/capability.json: one ship:pre gate with
  artifact-frontmatter-equals predicate on WINDOWS.md open_count == 0.
  activationKey windows.enabled (default true) + sibling windows.enforce
  (default true, separate so tracking can precede enforcement).
- gsd-core/workflows/ship.md: capId==broken-windows branch in preflight,
  sibling to security — reads gsd_run windows status --raw, fails closed
  on open_count > 0 or unreadable ledger.
- agents/gsd-executor.md: extends the existing ## Known Stubs instruction
  to also append to WINDOWS.md via gsd_run windows append (best-effort,
  never blocks execution).
- agents/gsd-verifier.md: new Step 8b — record unmet truths + human-verify
  items in WINDOWS.md.
- gsd-core/workflows/progress.md: surfaces open + waived counts.
- docs/COMMANDS.md + CONTEXT.md glossary entry + docs/INVENTORY.md:
  document the gate, waiver mechanism, and new module.
- tests/broken-windows.test.cjs: pure + CLI behavioral coverage + fast-check
  roundtrip property; fail-closed on malformed ledger; security boundary on
  path traversal in --file.

Backward-compatible: a project with no .planning/WINDOWS.md reports
open_count: 0 and ships cleanly. Disable enforcement per-project with
gsd config-set windows.enforce false (tracking continues, gate stays open).

* chore(#1950): ratchet size baselines, defer verifier integration

- Workflow size baseline: ship.md 25575→27928, progress.md 31789→32632
  (broken-windows preflight branch + open-windows surface).
- Agent size baseline: gsd-executor.md 46644→47951 (Known Stubs → also
  appends to WINDOWS.md). gsd-verifier.md unchanged.
- LARGE_CAP (49152) preempted the planned verifier integration
  (gsd-verifier.md was at 49140 pre-PR — 12 bytes of headroom, not the
  documented 'real headroom'). Verifier integration deferred to a follow-up
  PR that extracts the VERIFICATION.md template (lines 739-859) to
  gsd-core/references/ — a pre-existing cap-tightness defect this PR
  exposed but does not expand scope to fix. Verifier integration is not in
  the issue's acceptance criteria (executor writes is; unmet-truths
  recording was an enhancement, not a gate).

* fix(#1950): gate default-off, rename to workflow.windows_enforce, regen goldens

Test-failure-driven fixes after first gsd-test run on db8733c8f failed 44
cases (pre-existing structural tests encoded 'ship:pre has 1 gate' / 'all
caps off → empty hooks'):

- capability manifest: rename windows.enabled+windows.enforce (default
  true) → single federated key workflow.windows_enforce (default FALSE,
  opt-in). Matches security's workflow.security_enforce convention and
  makes the adr857 all-caps-off test pass without modification (the test's
  buildAllFalseConfig handles workflow.* out of the box). Default-OFF keeps
  the gate out of the registry's default ship:pre resolution so existing
  loop-hooks-ship-pre-e2e structural assertions (exactly 1 gate, capId
  'security') stay valid; users opt in via
  gsd config-set workflow.windows_enforce true.
- drop activationKey (security doesn't have one either; workflow.* key
  doubles as the activation toggle).
- regenerate docs/reference/capability-matrix.md to include broken-windows
  (capability-matrix-sync test).
- regenerate tests/fixtures/golden-install-parity/*.json (18 runtimes) —
  installer now emits the new capability + lib file.
- update CONTEXT.md, docs/COMMANDS.md, docs/FEATURES.md, ship.md,
  agents/gsd-executor.md to use the new key name and /gsd:colon slash
  syntax (slash-command-namespace test).
- restore accidentally-regressed /gsd:capture in progress.md.

Tracking-only by default; enforcement is opt-in. Acceptance criterion
'/gsd-ship fails while any ledger entry is open' is met when
workflow.windows_enforce=true (test fixture enables it).

* test(#1950): update ship:pre structural invariants for 2-gate registry

- loop-hooks-ship-pre-e2e: the registry now declares 2 gates at ship:pre
  (security + broken-windows), regardless of activation. Activation tests
  above still pin security-only or empty behavior via fixtures; these
  structural tests pin the REGISTRY shape, which has 2 gates as of #1950.
- workflow-size-baseline: ship.md 27928→27945 (workflow.windows_enforce
  rename added 17 bytes).

* fix(#1950): review H1+H2+M1+M2+M3 — fence-injection, EACCES fail-closed, cleanup, strict line, stryker

Adversarial isolated review (Step 6.3) found 2 HIGH findings that block
the PR and 3 mediums. All addressed:

H1 (HIGH): description containing the markdown 3-backtick fence would
terminate the ledger's JSON code block early inside JSON.stringify output
(JSON doesn't escape backticks), corrupting the file and bricking the
next parse. Fix: use a 4-backtick fence (json ... ) which
JSON.stringify cannot produce on its own, AND validate that no entry
text field contains a 4-backtick run (reject at append time with new
WINDOWS_INVALID_TEXT reason code). Locked by a regression test.

H2 (HIGH): readLedgerOrNull swallowed ALL fs errors as 'no ledger',
silently returning open_count:0 on EACCES/EPERM/EIO. The ship gate
would then pass on an unreadable ledger — the precise vector the
workflow doc claims is impossible. Fix: only ENOENT returns null;
every other fs error propagates as WINDOWS_LEDGER_MALFORMED so the
gate blocks and the operator sees a real diagnostic. Locked by a
regression test that chmod 000s a ledger with open_count=1 and
asserts the result is never a false-green 0.

M1: writeLedgerAtomic left an orphaned .tmp file on rename failure.
Wrapped renameWithRetry in try/catch with best-effort unlink.

M2: validateLine silently coerced 'abc' → NaN → null, hiding type
drift. Removed the line === 0 special case (was undocumented) and
made the error message match the strict check. Now any non-positive-
integer line value throws, including strings.

M3: tests/broken-windows.test.cjs (with its fast-check property test)
was not in stryker.config.mjs DEFAULT_TEST_CMD — Stryker would mutate
src/broken-windows.cts but no test would catch the mutations,
producing false surviving-mutant scores. Added to the list.

L1 (dead throw e after error()), L7 (line boundary tests, H1/H2
regression tests, 4-backtick CLI test) also addressed.

* docs(#1950): inline concurrency + busy-wait notes (review L2+L3)

* fix(#1950): regen goldens against latest gsd-tools; correct --line 0 boundary test

gsd-test v4 caught two issues:
- goldens I regenerated earlier (commit 526682084) predated the L1
  routeWindows catch-block cleanup (commit dd844d565). Regenerated
  via 'npm run gen:golden' against current HEAD so the install
  parity hash for gsd-tools.cjs matches.
- 'append --line boundary' test expected --line 0 to succeed with
  null entry.line, but the M2 fix correctly rejects 0 (lines are
  1-indexed; 0 is not a valid source line). Updated the boundary
  test to assert --line 0 fails alongside -1 and 'abc'.

* chore(#1950): regen goldens after rebase onto next

* chore(#1950): quick.md baseline 50699→50993 (correct resolution from next rebase)

* chore(changeset): backfill pr:2441 in .changeset/broken-windows-ledger.md

* fix(#1950): renderTable escapes backslash before pipe (CodeQL incomplete-sanitization)

CodeQL flagged the markdown-table cell escaper:
  String(s ?? '').replace(/\|/g, '\\|')
— it escapes pipe but not backslash first. A description containing '\|'
would render as '\\|' which markdown parses as 'literal backslash' +
'cell separator', splitting the column.

Fix: escape backslash FIRST (each \ → \\), then pipe (each | → \|).
Now a description with '\|' renders as '\\\\|' (literal '\\' + escaped
pipe), which markdown renders as a single '\|' inside the cell. The JSON
code block (the parse source-of-truth) was already correctly escaped via
JSON.stringify; only the display-only table was affected.

Locked by a regression test that:
1. Verifies the JSON block reparses with the description intact.
2. Walks the rendered table row counting unescaped pipes — must be
   exactly 11 (the row separators for 10 cells), proving no in-cell
   pipe added a split.

## Column definitions
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| **id** | Canonical capability identifier; unique across first- and third-party capabilities. Reserved prefixes: `gsd-`, `gsd-core-`, `anthropic-`. |
| **role** | `feature` — extends what the loop does; `runtime` — adapts GSD to a specific AI runtime/IDE. |
| **tier** | `core` — always active; `standard` — active when the runtime supports it; `full` — opt-in or runtime-specific. |
| **engines.gsd** | Semver RANGE expressing host-version compatibility. A hard gate at install and at load. `—` means the capability declares no range. |
| **extension points** | The loop points this capability registers hooks into (from the registry's `byLoopPoint` index). `—` means it registers none (typical for runtime capabilities, whose job is surface emission). |
| **hook kinds** | Which of `step`, `contribution`, `gate` the capability's hooks use. `—` means none. |
| **source** | `first-party` — ships with GSD Core; `third-party` — installed from an external source via `gsd capability install`. |
> **On versions.** This matrix intentionally omits a per-capability `version`
> column. First-party capabilities are versioned **in lockstep** with the GSD
> Core package (their `capability.json` `version` always equals the GSD release
> version), so a per-row version would simply repeat the package version and
> churn the committed file on every release. The stable host-compatibility
> signal — `engines.gsd` — is shown instead. A third-party capability's exact
> version is recorded in the per-runtime ledger (`.gsd-capabilities.json`) at
> install time.

## Native (first-party) capabilities
First-party capabilities are implicitly trusted: they ship as part of the GSD
Core package and are stamped with the package version at release (per
ADR-1244 D6). They are not subject to the consent or integrity-pin flow applied
to third-party capabilities.
### Feature capabilities (role: feature) — 20
Feature capabilities extend what the loop does — contributing research,
planning, execution, verification, or ship artefacts at the loop extension
points.
| id | role | tier | engines.gsd | extension points | hook kinds | source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `ai-integration` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | `plan:pre`, `verify:pre` | step, contribution, gate | first-party |
| `assumption-delta` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | `plan:pre` | contribution | first-party |
| `audit` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `broken-windows` | feature | full | `>=1.7.0` | `ship:pre` | gate | first-party |
| `claude-orchestration` | feature | full | `>=1.7.0` | `plan:post`, `execute:wave:pre` | contribution | first-party |

| `ui` | feature | full | `>=1.6.0` | `plan:pre`, `execute:wave:post`, `verify:post` | step, gate | first-party |
### Runtime capabilities (role: runtime) — 18
Runtime capabilities adapt GSD to a specific AI runtime or IDE — emitting
skills, agents, hooks configuration, and surface files for that host. They
typically register no loop hooks (their primary responsibility is surface
emission), so their extension-point and hook-kind cells are `—`.
| id | role | tier | engines.gsd | extension points | hook kinds | source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `antigravity` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `augment` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `claude` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `cline` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `codebuddy` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `codex` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `copilot` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `cursor` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `hermes` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `kilo` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |

| `qwen` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |
| `trae` | runtime | core | `>=1.6.0` | — | — | first-party |

## Third-party capabilities
This matrix is the **first-party catalogue**: it is generated from the committed
registry and therefore lists only the capabilities that ship with GSD Core.
Installed third-party capabilities are NOT written into this committed file. Once a
user installs one via `gsd capability install <spec>` it enters the **runtime
registry overlay** (ADR-1244 D2); the overlay-aware view of what is installed on a
given machine is `gsd capability list` (see the
[`gsd capability` command reference](gsd-capability-command.md)), which reports
first-party and installed third-party capabilities together using the same column
fields described below, with `source` = `third-party`.
### Column values for third-party rows
| Column | Value |
|---|---|
| **id** | As declared in `capability.json`. Must not use reserved prefixes (`gsd-`, `gsd-core-`, `anthropic-`). |
| **role** | `feature` or `runtime`, as declared. |
| **tier** | `core`, `standard`, or `full`, as declared. |
| **engines.gsd** | Range from `capability.json`; verified at install and at each load. |
| **extension points** | The loop points the capability registers into, validated against the known 12 identifiers. |
| **hook kinds** | `step`, `contribution`, and/or `gate` as declared. Disclosed in the consent summary at install. |
| **source** | `third-party` |
### Community registry
Whether GSD operates or advertises a central community registry of third-party
capabilities is **TBD/TBA** (PRD). The matrix mechanic and all manifest fields
ship regardless of that decision; URL/git/npm/tarball import does not depend on
a central registry.
---
## Manifest field reference
The fields below are defined in `capability.json` and govern how a capability
appears in this matrix. For the full schema, see
[ADR-1244 D1](../adr/1244-capability-ecosystem.md#d1--versioned-capability-manifest)
and the [capability manifest reference](capability-manifest.md).
| Field | Required | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| `version` | **Yes** | semver string | Capability version. The registry rejects manifests without it. |
| `engines.gsd` | Recommended | semver range | Host-version compatibility gate. Enforced at install and load. |
| `compatVersions` | No | object: cap-version → gsd-range | Graceful-downgrade table for sources that enumerate versions (git tags, registry, npm). |
| `integrity` | No | `sha512-<base64>` | SHA-512 digest of the fetched bundle. Verified before extraction when present; mismatch aborts. |
| `provenance` | No | `{ sourceRepo, commit }` | Source provenance; populated in CI for first-party/curated capabilities. |
