* 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. Refs #3028 * 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. Refs #3028 * 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. Refs #3028 * 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.

Execute-Phase — MVP+TDD Gate (Runtime Enforcement)
Loaded by
execute-phaseworkflow andgsd-executoragent only when bothMVP_MODE=trueANDTDD_MODE=truefor the phase. Defines the runtime gate that blocks behavior-adding tasks until a failing-test commit exists.
When this gate fires
MVP_MODEistrue(resolved from CLI flag → ROADMAP**Mode:**field → config; seegsd-core/references/planner-mvp-mode.md).TDD_MODEistrue(resolved from--tddflag →workflow.tdd_modeconfig).- The current task being executed has
tdd="true"in its<task>frontmatter (set by the planner per Phase 1). - The task's
<behavior>block lists at least one expected behavior.
If any of these is false, the gate is inactive — execution proceeds normally.
What the gate checks
For each task gated by MVP+TDD, the executor MUST verify (before running the implementation step):
- A failing-test commit exists. Search git log on the current branch for a commit matching
test({phase}-{plan})whose subject mentions the same plan as the current task. The commit must touch a test file (*.test.*,*.spec.*,tests/**). - The test was actually red. The commit message body or the executor's recent shell history must show the test failed when first run. Acceptable evidence:
- Commit message contains
RED:prefix or(RED)tag - Recent terminal output shows
FAILor non-zero exit on the new test before any implementation commit
- Commit message contains
- No implementation commit yet. No
feat({phase}-{plan})commit may exist for the same plan ID before the failing-test commit.
If any check fails, the gate trips.
What "behavior-adding task" means
A task is behavior-adding when:
- Its frontmatter has
tdd="true"AND - Its
<behavior>block names at least one user-visible outcome (not a config-only or doc-only task) AND - Its
<files>list includes at least one source file (not exclusively docs/tests/config files such as*.md,*.json,*.test.*,*.spec.*,*.yml,*.yaml,*.toml,*.ini,.env*)
Pure documentation, configuration, or test-only tasks are skipped by this gate even when both modes are active.
What happens when the gate trips
The executor MUST:
-
Halt before running the task's implementation step.
-
Emit a structured halt report:
MVP+TDD GATE TRIPPED — Plan {plan_id}, Task {task_id}
Reason: {missing_red_commit | red_commit_not_failing | feat_before_test}
Behavior expected to be tested:
- {first behavior bullet}
Required next step:
- Write a failing test for the behavior above.
- Commit it as: test({phase}-{plan}): {short description}
- Re-run /gsd execute-phase
3. Exit the current execution wave cleanly. Do NOT roll back any prior commits in the same wave.
4. Update `STATE.md` with `last_gate_trip: {plan_id}/{task_id}` so the user can resume after writing the test.
## Escalation: end-of-phase TDD review under MVP+TDD
The existing end-of-phase TDD review (in `workflows/execute-phase.md`'s `tdd_review_checkpoint` step) is normally **advisory** — it surfaces gate violations but does not block phase completion.
Under MVP+TDD, escalate this to **blocking**:
- If any TDD plan is missing a RED or GREEN commit, the executor MUST refuse to mark the phase complete.
- The user is shown the same review table, but the verdict line reads:
> "Phase blocked: {N} TDD plan(s) violate the RED→GREEN gate sequence under MVP+TDD. Resolve and re-run /gsd execute-phase, or override with `/gsd execute-phase {phase} --force-mvp-gate` to ship anyway."
The `--force-mvp-gate` flag is documented but not introduced by this plan — it is the escape hatch the spec mentions; if the user later builds it, the workflow already references the contract.
## What this gate does NOT do
- It does not enforce REFACTOR commits. REFACTOR remains optional (per `gsd-core/references/tdd.md`).
- It does not check test quality (the test could be trivially passing). That's the planner's job.
- It does not run tests. The executor only inspects git log + file system. Running tests is the implementation step's job.
- It does not gate config-only or doc-only tasks (see "behavior-adding task" definition).
## Compatibility with existing TDD discipline
This gate is additive to `gsd-core/references/tdd.md`. Tasks not under MVP+TDD continue to use the existing advisory TDD discipline (RED/GREEN/REFACTOR commits with end-of-phase review checkpoint). Only the runtime gate and the blocking escalation are new.
