* test(#1960): add failing-first RCA-branching contract + schema-invariant tests Epic #1957 Phase 2A. Source-text-is-the-product contract tests (fishbone >=2 categories, AND-gate, multi-cause root_cause, backward compat, reasoning checkpoint candidate_causes+and_gate fields, debugger-philosophy single-cause note, DEBUG template) plus behavioral schema-invariant checks on two fixtures: two contributing causes (AND-gate yes) -> both recorded; single-cause (AND-gate no) -> one root_cause, identical to today. Failing-first: reference, agent edits, and template note do not yet exist. * feat(#1960): add RCA branching (fishbone + AND-gate) to gsd-debugger Epic #1957 Phase 2A. Guards against 5-Whys single-cause bias: before committing root_cause, the debugger enumerates candidate causes across >=2 Ishikawa categories (code/config/environment/data) and explicitly answers an AND-gate question. When the AND-gate fires, every contributing cause is recorded, so a multi-cause fix no longer recurs via the unaddressed second cause. Resolution.root_cause may hold one OR a small set (additive; single-cause sessions are byte-identical to today). The Structured Reasoning Checkpoint gains candidate_causes + and_gate fields; debugger-philosophy.md adds the single-cause-bias trap. Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/debugger-rca-branching.md (slim Phase 2 routing + 2 checkpoint fields kept in the agent). INVENTORY + manifest + agent-size baseline + install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md + DEBUG template updated. * fix(#1960): address orthogonal review (AND-gate self-consistency, parity guard, narrowed claim, ripples) - Reference: the collapse rule now enforces AND-gate self-consistency — and_gate=yes with a single confirmed cause is flagged as incomplete (return to Phase 3); a race/timing note clarifies such bugs bridge categories; the 'byte-identical' backward-compat claim narrowed to 'root_cause shape unchanged; reasoning_checkpoint gains 2 fields in every session'. - DEBUG.md: stale 'five-field' mirror prose -> seven-field (parallel-surface drift the reviewer flagged); new debug-session-management parity test pins the field-count claim to the gsd-debugger.md YAML keys (CRLF-safe). - Scalar-assuming consumers of set-valued root_cause updated: session-manager compact summaries (319/332), diagnose-only return (1062), archive entry (1216), ROOT CAUSE FOUND return (1322). - Test: added the AND-gate-yes/single-cause invariant + fixture; rephrased the fixture describe block honestly as a schema-invariant specification. - Phase 2 bullet phrasing clarified ('at hypothesis formation, before the Phase 4 commit'). * test(#1960): parity regex accepts word-form count ('seven-field' or '7-field') * test(#1960): parity regex counts array-valued YAML keys (no inline value) * chore(#1960): backfill changeset pr number (PR #2405)
Changeset Fragments
This directory holds per-PR CHANGELOG fragments. Every PR with user-facing changes drops one (or more) <random-name>.md files here describing its CHANGELOG entry. Fragments are consolidated into the top-level CHANGELOG.md at release time.
Why
Two PRs that both edit the ### Fixed block of CHANGELOG.md always conflict on merge — git can't pick a serialization order without human input. Two PRs that each add a fresh .changeset/<unique-name>.md never conflict because they don't share lines.
See #2975 for the full rationale.
Adding a fragment
node scripts/changeset/new.cjs \
--type Fixed \
--pr 1234 \
--body "fix the thing — explain the user-visible change in one sentence"
This writes .changeset/<adjective>-<noun>-<noun>.md with frontmatter and a body. Three random words → concurrent PRs don't collide.
Format
---
type: Fixed
pr: 1234
---
**`/gsd-foo` no longer drops trailing slashes** — explain the user-visible change.
Allowed type: values follow Keep a Changelog: Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security.
Opting out
PRs that legitimately have no user-facing impact can add the no-changelog label. CI honors it. When unsure, add the fragment.
At release time
Promotion is automatic. The release workflow's finalize job runs:
node scripts/changeset/cli.cjs render --version vX.Y.Z --date YYYY-MM-DD --allow-empty
This reads every fragment, groups bullets by type:, replaces ## [Unreleased] with a new ## [vX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD block, opens a fresh ## [Unreleased] above, and deletes consumed fragments. The --allow-empty flag ensures a no-change release still gets a dated heading (with a _No notable changes._ placeholder). A subsequent verify step confirms the promotion landed correctly. Maintainers do not run this by hand.
Archived fragments
.changeset/archived/ holds fragments for already-shipped releases (≤ 1.3.1), retained for provenance. Their content was hand-curated into the dated ## [1.x.y] sections of CHANGELOG.md during the #690 backfill — they were never consumed by render. All changeset tooling enumerates .changeset/ non-recursively, so archived fragments are never picked up or rendered. Do not move them back to the top level.
