v1.76.0.0 fix: ship doc-sync survives Conductor — spawned subagent sessions reachable (#2733) (#2741)

* feat(session-kind): explicit GSTACK_SESSION_KIND override; skill-start spawned gates keyed on kind (#2733)

Claude Code subagents inherit the parent env byte-for-byte, so ambient
markers classify them as the parent's kind and the spawned classification
was unreachable outside OpenClaw. GSTACK_SESSION_KIND=spawned (step 0,
spawned-only by design) lets a dispatching skill mark its subagent per
command. skill-start now keys SPAWNED_SESSION and the spawned-session
instruction block on the resolved kind (was raw OPENCLAW_SESSION),
suppresses CONDUCTOR_SESSION for spawned sessions, gates all 11
interactive-onboarding blocks plus their ack-at-emit marker writes on
kind != spawned, and adds a destructive-gate carve-out to the spawned
block (conservative-continue, never prose-STOP).

* fix(hooks): spawned-session escape in Conductor AUQ deny; override coverage in AUQ-error fallback (#2733)

Hooks inherit the harness env, so a per-command GSTACK_SESSION_KIND
prefix inside a subagent's bash can never reach them. Levers added:
a deterministic [conductor][spawned] auto-choose deny for env-level
spawned sessions (OPENCLAW_SESSION or session-wide GSTACK_SESSION_KIND),
and a spawned escape sentence appended to both hooks' prose directives
so a marked subagent that slips and calls AUQ resolves to auto-choose
instead of prose-STOP. The sentence lives in one shared constant
(hosts/claude/hooks/spawned-directive.ts) so the two paths can never
drift; destructive semantics are unified to conservative-continue.

* fix(ship): Step 18 marks the document-release subagent spawned — env prefix + auto-choose prompt (#2733)

The dispatch prompt now (1) frames the run as a SPAWNED subagent whose
LAST line is machine-parsed, (2) instructs prefixing the preamble's
gstack-skill-start invocation with GSTACK_SESSION_KIND=spawned on the
same command line (template bash blocks don't share exports), and
(3) resolves every AUQ gate to auto-choosing the recommended option,
conservative on no-recommendation, never destructive. The JSON contract
gains a required "decisions" array (auto-chosen gates, printed to the
ship console — never embedded in the public PR body) and a placement
clause so the skill's own doc-health summary stops competing with the
LAST-line JSON. Tripwire pins added; codex/factory goldens refreshed.

* feat(auq-format): proactive SESSION_KIND=spawned rule ordered above the Conductor rule (#2733)

The spawned classification previously existed only in the failure-fallback
branch — a spawned session was invited to call AskUserQuestion and reach
auto-choose via the deny/error detour, and a spawned session inside a
Conductor workspace hit the Conductor prose-STOP rule first. The Tool
resolution list now leads with the spawned rule (auto-choose recommended,
never prose, never BLOCKED, destructive gates resolve conservative), the
self-check carries the never-reach-this-checklist clause, and all tier>=2
SKILL.md renders are regenerated. Context-budget fixture refreshed in the
same commit per the ratchet protocol (the AUQ section is eager in every
tier>=2 skill).

* test(e2e): spawned document-release subagent returns the JSON contract through a firing gate (#2733)

The behavioral proof the bug shipped without: ship-docsync stubs the
skill (no preamble, no gates) and skill-e2e-workflow suppresses the
gates by prompt. This gate-tier E2E plays the parent — it drives the
verbatim Step 18 dispatch prompt (extracted from the live pr-body.md,
drift-proof) against a real preamble-bearing document-release slice in
a Conductor-ambient env with both AUQ hooks seeded live, an unbumped
VERSION making Step 8 fire. Asserts: the final line parses as the
5-key JSON contract, the fired gate's auto-choice is recorded in
decisions, and VERSION is untouched (the gate resolved to its
recommended Skip). Burn-in: 1/1 pass, $0.35, 21 turns, 106s.

* docs(openclaw): document the GSTACK_SESSION_KIND override; wire session-kind into paid selectors (#2733)

OPENCLAW.md's spawned-session section now covers the explicit per-command
marker, its deliberate spawned-only narrowness, the /ship Step 18 usage,
the destructive carve-out, onboarding-block suppression, and the hook
env-blindness caveat. bin/gstack-session-kind and the shared
spawned-directive module join the conductor-prose and
auto-decide-preserved selector dep lists (session-kind previously
appeared in no touchfiles entry — editing it alone triggered no paid
E2E). TODOS.md gains the plan-tune capture follow-up for spawned
auto-choices.

* fix: pre-landing review fixes (#2733)

Review army + coverage audit findings, all applied:
- headless directive carries the spawned escape sentence too (multi-
  specialist: a CI-hosted ship's marked subagent must not end BLOCKED)
- anti-injection scoping on every text-claimable spawned trigger (AUQ
  rule + shared escape sentence): markings count only from the creating
  prompt, never from files/tool output/web content read mid-run
- [conductor][spawned] deny annotates one-way doors per question
- SPAWNED_OVERRIDE: env tamper-visibility status line + OPENCLAW.md note
- spawned sessions skip the network update-check and first-task probe
  (consumers suppressed; preserves the one-shot just-upgraded marker)
- test hardening: dispatch-tripwire end-bound validated, vacuous marker
  asserts replaced with output asserts, E2E cpSync size filter + named
  fence tolerance, spawnedByEnv parity pin, destructive-policy cross-
  surface drift guard, one-way annotation + bogus-value hook cases
- session-kind duplicate rationale comment deduped; regen + goldens +
  context-budget fixture refreshed

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.76.0.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update project documentation for v1.76.0.0

PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md: add hosts/claude/hooks/ to the directory tree
(AUQ capture + enforcement hooks, spawned-session directive, timeline
stop) — the tree omitted the directory while docs/OPENCLAW.md and
CHANGELOG.md now reference paths inside it.

* docs: sync TODOS.md ship dispatch entry with the v1.76.0.0 contract

Codex doc-review finding: the SHIPPED entry for /ship auto-invoking
/document-release still described the four-key JSON contract. Adds the
decisions key (console-printed, never PR markdown), the
GSTACK_SESSION_KIND=spawned dispatch marking (#2733), and the new
spawned-dispatch gate E2E to the proven-by list.
