/**
 * #2650 — plan-phase hangs after gsd-planner writes all plans; completion never
 * reaches orchestrator.
 *
 * plan-phase.md's five planner/plan-checker Agent() spawns (standard planner,
 * chunked outline planner, chunked per-plan planner, plan-checker, and the
 * revision-loop planner respawn) previously waited for a subagent's return
 * with no time bound, no periodic check, and no config-driven threshold — the
 * only recovery path (9a/11a "Filesystem Fallback") required Agent() to have
 * already returned, so it could never fire when the call never returned
 * control at all. This mirrors the already-shipped `executor.stall_*` fix for
 * execute-phase.md (bug #3212, commit e7942c21b).
 *
 * The fix extracts the decision logic into a pure, unit-testable bash
 * function (`gsd_stall_should_recover`) embedded in the lazily-loaded
 * `gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md` (kept out
 * of plan-phase.md's own measured bytes — plan-phase.md is frozen under the
 * ADR-857 Phase 6 `PRE_PHASE6` gate, `tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs`,
 * with ~36 bytes of headroom at baseline) and exercised here via the SAME
 * extraction pattern already used by tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs
 * (extractCwdGuardBash) and tests/quick-branching.test.cjs
 * (extractStep25Bash) — the test runs the exact shipped bash, not a
 * hand-copied duplicate (avoids the "Generative Fix Divergence" defect
 * class).
 *
 * Seam: gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase.md,
 *       gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md,
 *       src/config.cts (SCHEMA_DEFAULTS),
 *       gsd-core/bin/shared/config-schema.manifest.json, docs/CONFIGURATION.md

  // single `bash -c <script>` argv element does not survive Windows argv
  // serialization (Node has no execve there; CreateProcess flattens the
  // whole argv into one command-line string, and Git Bash's MSYS layer
  // re-splits and unescapes it with its own rules — the script itself gets
  // mangled in transit, not just the boundary around it). Proven by an
  // A/B on real CI: converting only runShouldRecover() to the temp-file
  // form below took Windows from 11 failures to 4, and flipped
  // `full test (windows-latest, 22, shard 1/3)` and `shard 2/3` from fail
  // to pass — while runWatch() (no extra positional args at all, values
  // embedded directly in the script text) still failed identically to
  // before, so the trailing-args theory is ruled out: it is script size
  // and quote density, not argv-element count. `runBashScript()` below
  // (used by every call site in this file) removes the script from `-c`
  // transport entirely by writing it to a file and running it by path.
  // tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs's extractCwdGuardBash/runGuard stays on
