* feat(#2930): fragmentize plan-phase.md workflow into per-runtime-composed sections Adds src/workflow-fragments.cts (in-file <!-- gsd:section --> marker parser/composer, ADR-1671 epic #1671 Phase 3), wires it into bin/install.js's copyWithPathReplacement emission path, and pilots the marker grammar on gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase.md. Bookkeeping ripple for the new src/*.cts module: .gitignore, eslint.config.mjs, docs/INVENTORY.md + docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json, and a CONTEXT.md glossary entry. Amends ADR-1671 with open questions 1 and 2 resolutions and records the closed when= applicability grammar. Adds docs/reference/workflow-fragments.md and an ARCHITECTURE.md section documenting the marker authoring model. * fix(#2930): put allow-test-rule issue ref on the same line as the marker lint-allow-test-rule-refs.cjs requires the #NNN issue reference on the same source line as `allow-test-rule:`; it was one line below and read as an unreferenced novel exemption. * docs(#2930): link the orphaned gate-predicates reference from the docs index Found while adding the workflow-fragments reference doc: docs/reference/gate-predicates.md shipped without an entry in docs/README.md, so it was unreachable from the docs index. Fixed inline rather than deferred. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#2930): scope composition to workflows, add typed failure reasons Review findings from two orthogonal passes: - Scope composeWorkflow to gsd-core/workflows/ only. It previously ran on every .md the installer copied, so a future agent/command/reference doc documenting the marker syntax with an unfenced example would have been mis-parsed and silently stripped — a lossy drop the phase forbids. - Add a frozen REASON enum; failures attach a typed .reason and tests assert on it instead of matching free-form message text (CONTRIBUTING.md:635-694). - Derive the property generator's when= values from WHEN_VOCABULARY instead of duplicating them (DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX). - Add adversarial parser fixtures: Unicode headings, NUL, U+FFFD, BOM, fence-within-fence, tilde and indented fences, lone-CR marker line. - Document why --mvp is structurally unmarkable: its content is interleaved, not sectioned, so the whole-line grammar cannot reach it. Also fixes two stale tests on this branch, each reproduced on the unmodified tree before correction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#2930): retarget the pilot from plan-phase to execute-phase The full remote matrix went red on both Linux lanes. Root cause was ours: tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs holds a PRE_PHASE6 ceiling of 94519 bytes for plan-phase.md, asserting an ADR-857 Phase-6 completion property. That is a third size gate beyond the tier caps and the differential ratchet, and it left plan-phase.md just 36 bytes of headroom rather than the 3821 computed from the XL cap. The 330 marker bytes overran it by 294. Raising the ceiling is not an option: it is a red line certifying another ADR's completion. plan-phase.md is reverted to byte-identical origin/next and the pilot moves to execute-phase.md, which has 728 bytes of headroom under its own ceiling and lands at 93147 with 3 marker pairs. The vocabulary narrows to the atoms actually used: always, flag:--wave, state:gap-closure-phase, state:has-prior-phases. Recorded in the ADR: every branch the epic names lives in plan-phase.md, which cannot be fragmentized until caps move from source to emitted bytes. That is direct evidence for the epic's premise and may reorder phases 3-4.

Both causes were in the test harness, not the module. Root normalization: the opencode converter always embeds the install root forward-slashed, but the tests stripped it with the native-separator string from mkdtemp. On Windows that never matched, so the root leaked through unstripped — and because the real and stub install roots have different prefix lengths, that length difference landed directly in the byte-delta assertion (344 observed vs 275 expected). Normalize both text and root to one separator form before stripping. @-ref resolution: the helper stripped only the @~/ and @$HOME/ forms, so a Windows absolute ref (@C:/Users/...) fell through and was joined onto the root, producing ...\@C:\Users\... Strip the @ first, then detect absoluteness from the token's own shape (POSIX, drive-letter, or UNC) with no platform branching, so every OS takes the same path. Neither assertion was weakened; the exact-equality byte check is the point of the test and still holds. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(#2930): document every REASON member and guard the doc/enum parity Code review found the reference doc's 'Fails closed' list covering 10 of the 11 frozen REASON members — MALFORMED_ATTRIBUTES (parseAttrs rejects malformed key="value" syntax) had no bullet, and it is distinct from UNRECOGNIZED_ATTRIBUTE, which is valid syntax with an unknown key. Two parallel surfaces sharing one constant with nothing asserting they agree is the DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX class, so the same commit adds the parity assertion: the test derives the enum side from the built module and the doc side by parsing the reference page, keyed on the reason IDENTIFIER rather than prose so a reworded bullet does not break it, and reports set differences in both directions by name. Proven non-vacuous: removing the MALFORMED_ATTRIBUTES bullet turns the suite red naming that exact member; restoring it returns 44/44.

Workflow fragments (reference)
Diátaxis quadrant: Reference. This is the canonical specification of the in-file
<!-- gsd:section -->marker grammar used to fragmentize GSD workflow markdown for per-runtime emission. For the surrounding seam (why it exists and how it composes with the shared budget composer), see Architecture: Workflow Fragmentization and Emission and ADR-1671 (open questions 1 and 2).
Workflow authors can mark one or more sections of a gsd-core/workflows/*.md file
so that bin/install.js's emission path can compose them per runtime. Today this
is an authoring model with no run-time effect yet — see
Not acted on yet below.
Marker syntax
An open marker is a line whose only content (after trimming leading/trailing whitespace) is:
<!-- gsd:section id="<id>" when="<when>" -->
A close marker is a line whose only content is:
<!-- /gsd:section -->
- Attribute order is free and inner spacing around
=and between attributes is flexible. idmust match/^[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?$/and must be unique within one file.whenmust be exactly one entry of the frozen vocabulary below — no operators, no negation, no nesting.- Both
idandwhenare required on every open marker; a marker missing either attribute fails closed (see Fails closed).
Text between an open marker and its matching close marker is that section's body, byte-for-byte (including its own line terminators). Text outside any marker pair becomes an implicit "gap" fragment — the file's ordinary, unmarked content — so a workflow with no markers at all parses to exactly one gap fragment and composes back byte-identical to its source.
The frozen when= vocabulary
when= takes exactly one of:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
always |
Section is always applicable. |
flag:--wave |
Applicable when the workflow runs with --wave. |
state:gap-closure-phase |
Applicable when the phase number is a gap-closure phase (has a decimal, e.g. 4.1). |
state:has-prior-phases |
Applicable when prior phases (and their VERIFICATION.md files) exist. |
This list is closed by design (Greenspun's Tenth Rule): left open-ended,
when= would acquire boolean operators, negation, precedence, and
runtime/capability predicates one edit at a time, becoming an ad-hoc,
informally-specified applicability language. Widening the vocabulary is a
coordinated ADR amendment to ADR-1671, never an organic edit to the parser.
Fails closed
An authoring mistake throws at parse time, naming the source file and 1-based line number, rather than being silently dropped or swallowed to end-of-file:
- Missing
id=orwhen=attribute (MISSING_ID,MISSING_WHEN). when=value not in the frozen vocabulary above, including any boolean operator or negation form (UNKNOWN_WHEN).id=value that does not match the id grammar (MALFORMED_ID).- Malformed attribute syntax on an open marker — the attribute text is not a
run of well-formed
key="value"tokens (e.g. an unterminated quote or a duplicate attribute key) (MALFORMED_ATTRIBUTES). - An unrecognized attribute on an open marker (
UNRECOGNIZED_ATTRIBUTE). - A close marker carrying attributes (
CLOSE_WITH_ATTRIBUTES). - An unmatched close marker, i.e. close with no open (
UNMATCHED_CLOSE). - A nested marker, i.e. open marker while already inside an open section
(
NESTED_SECTION). - A duplicate
id=within one file (DUPLICATE_ID). - An open marker with no matching close before end of file
(
UNCLOSED_SECTION).
An unrecognized when= is treated as an authoring instruction that must never
be silently ignored, not as a value to fail open on — this is deliberately
asymmetric with the marker formatting tolerance above (free attribute order,
flexible spacing), which is liberal by design.
Markers are stripped at emit
Composition runs parseWorkflowSections → map sections to fragments → the
shared context-composer.cjs budget seam (every fragment uses the verbatim
strategy, so nothing is trimmed) → re-join fragment bodies in document order.
The marker lines themselves are never part of any fragment body, so the
composed output — and therefore every installed runtime artifact — contains
no gsd:section markers at all. An unmarked file composes to itself exactly;
a marked file composes to itself minus the marker line bytes.
Composition runs before the per-runtime converters (the .claude/ →
.windsurf/-style path and reference rewrites), so a marker's id/when
attribute text is never exposed to a rewrite regex.
Fenced and commented lookalikes are literal
A <!-- gsd:section ... -->-shaped line inside a fenced code block (three or
more backticks or tildes, CommonMark-style) is not a marker — it is
literal fence content, because workflows document their own marker syntax in
fenced examples (as in this page and in the workflow files themselves). The
same applies to a gsd:section mention inside an unrelated HTML comment, or
in prose/backtick text that never opens a real one-line comment. Fence and
comment detection run as a single interleaved left-to-right scan, mirroring
the discipline used by the CONTEXT.md predicate parser
(src/context-predicates.cts): while a fence is open, only a matching closer
can end it; while a comment is open, only --> can end it; an unclosed fence
running to end of file is not an error — everything after it is simply
literal.
The pre-existing <!-- gsd:loop-host ... --> marker family (consumed by
scripts/gen-loop-host-contract.cjs) is a different, already-established
marker and is never treated as a gsd:section marker.
Not acted on yet
when= is parsed and validated today, but applicability selection — actually
choosing which sections apply to a given invocation — is not implemented in
this phase. Every fragment composes into the output regardless of its when=
value; only the marker lines are stripped. Run-time selection is planned for
a later phase of ADR-1671's epic.
Piloted on one workflow so far
Only gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md carries markers today. The marker
grammar and composer seam are general-purpose across any workflow file, but
rollout to other LARGE/XL workflows is intentionally sequenced as later work,
not part of this phase.
The pilot marks three <step> blocks: partial-wave (flag:--wave),
gap-closure-artifacts (state:gap-closure-phase), and regression-gate
(state:has-prior-phases).
The pilot was retargeted from plan-phase.md mid-phase. Issue #2930's
own motivating mutually-exclusive branches (--prd, --ingest, --mvp,
--reviews) all live in plan-phase.md, not execute-phase.md. But
plan-phase.md sits only 36 B under an independent, pre-existing size gate
(tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs's PRE_PHASE6, an ADR-857
Phase-6 completion property) and cannot absorb any marker overhead at all —
so it could not be fragmentized under this phase's grammar regardless of
branch shape. This is direct evidence for the epic's premise that
fragmentization pays off, and it also means Phase 4 (moving size caps from
source bytes to emitted bytes) may need to land before plan-phase.md
itself can be fragmentized. Separately, and independent of the size-gate
finding, --mvp would remain unmarkable by this grammar even if the size
gate allowed it: its content in plan-phase.md is INTERLEAVED with other
flags rather than living in its own contiguous section (MVP_MODE
resolution shares a single bash block with --tdd, --no-tracer, and
--no-reversibility-gates handling at plan-phase.md:125-158, and
elsewhere it is inline ${MVP_MODE === 'true' ? ... } template
interpolation embedded inside the planner prompt at plan-phase.md:794-803)
— the marker grammar is closed, non-nesting, and whole-line (see
Marker syntax above), with no way to wrap part of a line
or split a shared conditional block without either corrupting the
conditional or bundling unrelated flags into one section. See
ADR-1671 open
question 1's resolution for the full record, and Phase 6 (LARGE/XL rollout)
for how both limits get addressed.
