Tom Boucher a638ca4332 enhance(#3882): stop sentinel phases skewing estimation calibration (#3893)
* test(#3882): failing-first rows for sentinel phases skewing calibration

Adds A1a/A1b/A2/A3 to tests/estimate-calibrate.test.cjs, the module's
existing test file, rather than a new bug-NNNN file. collectCalibrationSamples
(src/estimate-cli.cts:206) does a raw readdirSync over .planning/phases and
never applies isSentinelPhaseId, so a sentinel phase (milestone 0 or 999)
carrying a PLAN estimate / SUMMARY actuals pair contributes a phantom
calibration sample.

computeCalibration is median-based, so a single 50x outlier among three
samples leaves the factor unmoved — asserting "the factor is unchanged"
against one sentinel would pass on the broken code for the wrong reason.
Each row instead asserts the WHOLE computed CalibrationResult object
(factor, applied, confidence, sampleCount, clamped) for a sentinel-free
project against its sentinel-injected twin:

- A1a: one sentinel flips applied false->true and confidence low->med on
  phantom evidence (calibration switches on with zero real signal).
- A1b: two sentinels corrupt the factor itself (1 -> 3, clamped false->true).
- A2: the sentinel's own sample is verified absent from the returned list.
- A3: the two genuine phases still contribute their own unchanged samples
  (regression pin — stops A1/A2 passing by filtering everything).

Verified RED on today's code (node tests/estimate-calibrate.test.cjs):
A1a/A1b/A2 fail with the exact differing objects; A3 and all pre-existing
rows in the file remain green (no collateral).

* feat(#3882): route phase enumeration through its owner and name the sentinel axis

Task 1: collectCalibrationSamples (src/estimate-cli.cts) hand-rolled a raw readdirSync over .planning/phases, treating every directory (including sentinel phases, milestone 0/999) as a completed phase and feeding phantom PLAN/SUMMARY samples into the estimation calibration factor. Routed through the existing owner, listMilestonePhaseDirs(phasesRoot) with no cwd -- already 'all milestones, sentinels excluded', exactly the combination this caller needs; no new API was required for this half. It now also surfaces the scope discriminator: an unreadable phases directory throws PhasesUnreadableError instead of silently returning zero samples, and cmdEstimateCalibrate reports it via a new ERROR_REASON.ESTIMATE_PHASES_UNREADABLE instead of persisting a phantom empty calibration document.

Task 2: added listAllPhaseDirs(phasesDir, { includeSentinels }) to src/phase-locator.cts -- the one genuinely missing axis: 'physical set, sentinels INCLUDED'. includeSentinels has no default and is required, so a call site cannot obtain sentinel-inclusion by omission (compile-time refusal, not just documentation). Mirrors listMilestonePhaseDirs's absent/unreadable scope handling.

Task 3: migrated the two exemptions whose written reason maps cleanly onto 'physical set, sentinels included' -- cmdRoadmapAnalyze's _phaseDirNames (src/roadmap.cts) and cmdInitMilestoneOp's diskPhaseDirs (src/init.cts), both heading->directory lookup indexes. Left the rest: archivePhaseDirectories's own body has no readdirSync to migrate (its callers already resolve dirs before calling it, and both current callers deliberately EXCLUDE sentinels -- migrating it would be an unauthorized behavior change, not an API swap); cmdValidateHealth's exemption is vestigial (its actual physical-set sweep already lives in planning-snapshot.cts's buildAllPhaseDirNamesField, a pre-existing near-duplicate of the new axis, flagged as a finding, not restructured); cmdPhasesClear/cmdMilestoneComplete/cmdVerifySchemaDrift/detectHasPriorPhases/detectUiPhaseActive want a different combination (sentinels excluded, or a single-phase lookup) and are unaffected.

Task 4: detector 2 (sentinel literal) is untouched and retained. Removed exemption entries only for the two migrated call sites; every other function-scoped exemption is preserved. Guard exits 0.

* refactor(#3882): delegate the snapshot phase-dir scan to its owner

buildAllPhaseDirNamesField duplicated listAllPhaseDirs's own
readdirSync + directory-filter + absent/unreadable handling — the
'one implementation per rule' defect ADR-3473 SS8.3 names, introduced
by this branch's own #3882 work. Delegate to listAllPhaseDirs and
re-apply the field's existing lexicographic sort on top, since W007's
observable order must not change.

Refs #3882

* docs(#3882): document the sentinel axis and the enumeration consolidation

Records listAllPhaseDirs in the Phase Locator glossary entry, and the fact
that the owner already answers the all-milestones sentinel-free question when
called without a cwd -- the call collectCalibrationSamples was missing.

Also notes that buildAllPhaseDirNamesField now delegates rather than carrying a
second readdir, and that exactly one readdirSync over the phases directory
remains across the two modules.

* estimate-calibrate — build the calibration document from completed phases.
*
* Epic #1952 Phase 3 (#2632). Design lock: docs/adr/2629-phase-effort-estimation-calibration.md.
*
* This is the verb that makes AC4 real. Phase 1 shipped the calibration MATH;
* Phase 2 made the planner emit an estimate. Neither closes the loop, because
* nothing pairs a plan's `estimate` with its summary's `actuals` and writes the
* result. Leaving that to agent prose would make "estimates improve over time"
* unverifiable — so the pairing and the write are deterministic here, and
* extract-learnings just invokes them.
*
* The headline test is `a consistently-underestimated project produces an
* upward correction`: that is epic acceptance criterion AC4 stated as an
* executable claim.

// ─── PhasesUnreadableError / estimate_phases_unreadable (#3882, ADR-3473 §8.5,
// review finding #2) ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
//
// `collectCalibrationSamples` now routes through `listMilestonePhaseDirs`
// (the #3882 fix above), which means an unreadable phases directory is no
// longer output-identical to a genuinely empty one — it surfaces as
// `scope: SCOPE.UNREADABLE`. `cmdEstimateCalibrate` converts that into a
// refusal (`PhasesUnreadableError`, `process.exit(1)`,
// `ERROR_REASON.ESTIMATE_PHASES_UNREADABLE`) instead of silently persisting
// a phantom empty calibration document — a real behavior change (previously
// silent-empty), disclosed and tested here rather than left as an
// undocumented side effect of the routing fix.
//
// H1 drives the real `cmdEstimateCalibrate` IN-PROCESS: `runGsdTools` spawns
// a real subprocess, and neither `fs.readdirSync` monkeypatching nor
// `process.exit` interception crosses that process boundary. The pattern
// below is the two established repo idioms composed, not invented: the
// process.exit-interception + `--json-errors`-mode capture from
// tests/config-get-default.test.cjs, and the `fs.readdirSync` method
// monkeypatch (never chmod, which root/CI bypasses — CLAUDE.md's
// cross-platform IO-failure-injection rule) already used in
// tests/phase-locator.test.cjs for `listAllPhaseDirs`'s own unreadable case.
