Each lands here as gstack prose and gstack code; no sentence is copied (NOTICE.md). Approved by Garry, 2026-10-26: "Do it, send" (yes to the opt-in attribution callout, off by default). + +### Added +- **`/modernize`**: bring an aging pull request onto its current base and decide whether it should still exist. The skill reads the PR as a claim (the problem, the change, what must be true of the codebase), reads what moved under it for conflicts in meaning as well as in text, and writes one of three verdicts before anything is pushed: **MODERNIZE** (rebase with the author's commits kept as theirs, `git range-diff` with a one-line reason per changed hunk, the repo's own tests, then `git push --force-with-lease=:`), **REWORK** (the problem stands, this diff does not; nothing pushed) or **CLOSE** (recommended with the superseding commit; the PR stays open until someone with the authority says so). The skill never closes a PR and never uses a bare `--force`; `/careful` already rates the lease push MEDIUM. Rows in README, AGENTS.md, `docs/skills.md` (with a deep dive), `docs/PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md`, the root router and `gstack/llms.txt`. +- **Per-skill Codex default prompts**: a template's `codex_default_prompt:` frontmatter key becomes that skill's `default_prompt` in `agents/openai.yaml`, the sentence Codex's picker inserts when a user chooses the skill; a template without the key keeps `Use for this task.`. `/ship`, `/review`, `/qa`, `/autoplan`, `/office-hours`, `/land-and-deploy` and `/modernize` carry one. The key is generator input only: no host's SKILL.md render carries it (Claude strips it; the allowlist hosts never copy it), so every pinned render is byte-identical. `bin/gstack-host-renders.sh`'s proof that a yaml file is gstack's accepts any `default_prompt` line. +- **`gstack-post --attribute " on behalf of "`** on `pr-comment`, `issue-comment` and `reply`: opt-in and off by default, it opens the comment with a `> [!NOTE]` callout (`🤖 ****`) naming who wrote it, then the body as written. The callout bytes are scanned and bound into the MEDIUM confirmation token with the body, so a changed attribution needs a new token; the flag is refused (exit 64) on a PR body, a title or an issue body, and for empty, multi-line or over-200-character text. `review/greptile-triage.md` says when to add it to a reply. +- **`docs/unattended.md` "What an unattended session may do"**: merge never (nor auto-merge, a merge queue or `gh pr ready` on a PR the run did not open); force-push only the run's own branch, after a rebase the plan or a `/modernize` disposition named, with `git range-diff` in the handoff and a lease pinned to the observed sha; tests only by the methods the repository's instructions name, no ask-first; proof is what the run observed itself. Anything outside the list is a pending approval item. `/ship`'s handoff section points at it (one line in the lazy section; the ship skeleton is unchanged at 82,645 bytes). +- **CONTRIBUTING.md "Porting a contributor's PR"**: review and test the port head first (a fork's green checks prove nothing here), keep their commits as theirs with `Co-authored-by` on anything rewritten, your fixes on top as separate commits, the port names the original and its author, and the original closes with a specific thank-you linking the port; closing without landing is a maintainer's call. The repo-side home of the crew rule in `docs/captain.md`. + +### Tests +- `test/modernize-skill.test.ts` (new): the verdict table and its order before any push, the never-close rule, the range-diff and pinned-lease lines, the `/careful` MEDIUM rating, and every catalog row a new skill owes. +- `test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts`: the six prompts reach `openai.yaml`, a skill without the key keeps the fallback, `extractCodexDefaultPrompt` reads quoted and plain values inside the frontmatter only, and no host render carries the key. +- `test/gstack-post.test.ts`: no flag means the body is sent as written; the callout on all three comment operations and on GitLab; scan and token cover the callout; refusals on the other operations and bad text. + +### Gate integrity +- No threshold, timeout, trial count or case kind changed. `test/catalog-budget.test.ts` moves 1,251 → 1,296 token-equivalents for the new skill (pre-addition 5,000 bytes, modernize adds 178, measured 5,178 = 1,295; 6 bytes left) and `test/fixtures/context-budget.json` gains `modernize: 8825`. No pinned render in `test/fixtures/skill-md-size-allowlist.json` changed size; the ship union is 321,800 / 187,706 = 1.7144 against the 1.7150 cap (87 bytes in the lazy handoff section, 0 in the skeleton). + ## [1.91.256.0] - 2026-10-26 **The /ship review loop converges, and a receipt survives a base merge.** Five Captains' /ship runs hit the review cap on the same PR shape: every pass re-reviewed the whole diff, reviewers answered an empty range with an invented advisory, and each advisory earned another full pass; four more re-ran /ship on product code they had not changed because a conflict-only main merge or a test fix moved the head the receipt named. The loop now fixes blocking findings in the diff on pass 1, reads only the range since the previous pass afterwards, caps at three passes, and counts `passes= blocking_found= deferred=` in the ship receipt; the receipt carries to the new head when the product patch-id is unchanged. The blocking floor is the owner's call (Garry, 2026-10-26: "Ok set it at that"), and the policy lives in gstack rather than in any one team's rules (Garry, 2026-10-26: "Gstack should be the actual holder of how to do things not one off Capy files"): `docs/review-policy.md` is the canonical statement, the skills carry it as their written policy, and a crew rule can be one line pointing at it. diff --git a/CLAUDE.md b/CLAUDE.md index 3b874a2ab..864e3cf73 100644 --- a/CLAUDE.md +++ b/CLAUDE.md @@ -146,7 +146,7 @@ a skill's own bash. **Size budgets:** generated SKILL.md files warn above 160KB (~40K tokens); `test/catalog-budget.test.ts` caps the always-loaded skill catalog at -`CATALOG_BUDGET_TOKEN_EQUIVALENTS` (1,251 today; each new skill ratchets it); and +`CATALOG_BUDGET_TOKEN_EQUIVALENTS` (1,296 today; each new skill ratchets it); and `test/context-budget-ratchet.test.ts` pins per-skill token ceilings against `test/fixtures/context-budget.json` (for legitimate growth or a landed reduction, re-run `bun test/helpers/capture-context-budget.ts` and commit the diff --git a/CONTRIBUTING.md b/CONTRIBUTING.md index 44aa2d71c..6eebaa293 100644 --- a/CONTRIBUTING.md +++ b/CONTRIBUTING.md @@ -427,7 +427,7 @@ eval files, and misses the strict classifier.
