* feat(plan-phase): --research-phase flag absorbs deleted /gsd-research-phase + scrub stale refs (#3042, #3044) #3042 (orphaned research-phase): /gsd-research-phase had a workflow file but no slash-command stub. Rather than restore the orphan, the research- only capability is now a flag on /gsd-plan-phase: /gsd-plan-phase --research-phase <N> When set, the workflow scopes to phase N, runs the research step (Section 5 of the existing plan-phase workflow), then early-exits before the planner/plan-checker/verifier chain. Per RCA against the deleted standalone, the flag adds two modifiers to fully cover the original surface (Option B from the RCA discussion): - --view : print existing RESEARCH.md to stdout, no spawn. Cheapest mode for the correction-without-replanning loop the issue reporter explicitly called out. Errors with a clear hint if RESEARCH.md is missing. - --research : reuse the existing "force re-research" semantics. In research-only mode this skips the existing-RESEARCH.md prompt and re-spawns unconditionally. - Neither flag, RESEARCH.md exists : prompt update/view/skip. Mirrors the deleted standalone's existing-artifact menu (#3042 RCA). #3044 (stale slash-command refs): scrubbed five deleted commands from all user-facing surfaces, including English docs, 4 localized doc sets (ja-JP, ko-KR, zh-CN, pt-BR), workflows, templates, and references. /gsd-check-todos → /gsd-capture --list /gsd-new-workspace → /gsd-workspace --new /gsd-status → /gsd-progress /gsd-plan-milestone-gaps → table rows / orphan sections removed (PR #3038 only scrubbed workflows/agent; missed the docs surfaces this PR covers) /gsd-research-phase → /gsd-plan-phase --research-phase Includes a fix to docs/issue-driven-orchestration.md (PR #3036) which itself referenced /gsd-new-workspace 4 times — self-correction. Removed: - get-shit-done/workflows/research-phase.md (orphan, capability absorbed into --research-phase flag) Tests: - tests/bug-3042-3044-research-flag-and-stale-refs.test.cjs — 46 structural-IR tests across both bugs: - argument-hint advertises --research-phase + --view - workflow parses --research-phase, sets RESEARCH_ONLY, early-exits before planner - --view prints RESEARCH.md without spawning - --research forces refresh in research-only mode - existing-RESEARCH.md prompt path with update/view/skip - workflows/research-phase.md is removed - 5 deleted slash-commands absent from 17 English user-facing surfaces + 16 localized doc surfaces (4 locales × 4 docs each) - replacement command tokens present where deleted ones lived 6950/6950 full suite pass. Lints clean. Closes #3042 Closes #3044 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: address all 8 CR findings on PR #3045 Major (3): - get-shit-done/workflows/plan-phase.md:344 — added explicit early-exit guard at Section 5.1: "Skip if RESEARCH_ONLY=true". Without it, an LLM could fall through "use existing, skip to step 6" → planner spawn, violating the research-only contract. The guard makes the early-exit unreachable from any non-research-only branch. - get-shit-done/references/continuation-format.md (3 examples) + zh-CN/.../continuation-format.md (3 examples) — pointed to `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase` but docs/COMMANDS.md didn't document the flag. Added a full --research-phase + --view + --research modifier section to the /gsd-plan-phase flag table in COMMANDS.md so the canonical reference matches the continuation examples. Minor (5): - docs/FEATURES.md:1632 — `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase` → `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase <N>` (include required arg). - get-shit-done/templates/README.md:46 — NN-VALIDATION.md producer reverted from `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase` (Nyquist) to plain `/gsd-plan-phase` (Nyquist). VALIDATION.md is created during normal Nyquist flow, not research-only mode — the bulk replacement was wrong for that line. - get-shit-done/workflows/help.md:89 — signature line was missing `--research`; added it alongside `--research-phase` and `--view`. - tests/bug-3042-3044-...:197 — promptHasView/promptHasSkip were tautological (matched anywhere in 1700-line workflow). Tightened to a proximity check anchored on "RESEARCH.md already exists" prompt header within a 600-char window. Updated workflow to emit that literal phrase. - tests/feat-2840-...:95 — workspace assertion used `/gsd-workspace` but the documented replacement is `/gsd-workspace --new`. Tightened to require both tokens (in 3 places: requiredCommands list, regex in conceptPairs, error message). 6950/6950 full suite pass. Lint clean.
