v1.43.1.0 feat: default PGLite to voyage-code-3 for code search + e2e tests (#1639)

* docs: drop ~/.zshrc env note in favor of GSTACK_* env-shim reference

The CLAUDE.md "Where the keys live on this machine" block hand-rolled a
`grep ~/.zshrc | eval` recipe to surface ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY
inside Conductor workspaces. That predates the GSTACK_* env-shim
(`lib/conductor-env-shim.ts`, v1.39.2.0+) which promotes
GSTACK_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / GSTACK_OPENAI_API_KEY to their canonical names
inside gstack's TS binaries automatically.

The zshrc recipe is now an obsolete workaround. Replace with a short note
pointing at the env-shim as the canonical answer. Keep the Agent SDK
\`env: {...}\` gotcha (still real, unrelated to where the key comes from).

* feat: default PGLite to voyage-code-3 when VOYAGE_API_KEY set

When gstack inits a local PGLite engine for code search, use Voyage's
code-specialized `voyage-code-3` (1024-dim) embedding model if
\`VOYAGE_API_KEY\` is present. Falls back to gbrain's auto-selected
provider chain (OpenAI text-embedding-3-large 1536-dim when
OPENAI_API_KEY is available, etc.) when the Voyage key is unset.

Why voyage-code-3: head-to-head A/B against voyage-4-large on 10
realistic code queries against this codebase (using gbrain query
--no-expand for pure vector retrieval). voyage-code-3 strictly won on
4 queries (cases where the right hit was an implementation file vs a
test file: terminal-agent.ts over terminal-agent-integration.test.ts,
sanitizeReplacer over sanitize.test.ts, disposeSession over a
tangentially-related killDaemon test, surfaced injectCanary semantic
query). Tied on 5 with consistently +0.03 to +0.06 higher confidence.
Zero losses for voyage-4-large.

Touches 3 init sites in setup-gbrain/SKILL.md.tmpl:
- Step 1.5 (broken-db rollback-safe switch to PGLite)
- Path 3 direct PGLite init
- Step 4.5 split-engine local code index (Path 4 Yes branch)

Plus 2 manual-repair hints in sync-gbrain/SKILL.md.tmpl, the
post-install hint in bin/gstack-gbrain-install (with a tip when
VOYAGE_API_KEY isn't set), and the user-facing Path 3 docs in
USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK.md.

Cost is trivial: voyage-code-3 at \$0.18/1M tokens means a full reindex
of a 100K-LOC repo runs about \$0.20. Incremental syncs are pennies.

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md after voyage-code-3 default

Mechanical regen via \`bun run gen:skill-docs --host all\` after the
template changes in the previous commit. Single-host regen leaves
other-host outputs stale and trips gen-skill-docs.test.ts; --host all
keeps every adapter (claude, codex, kiro, opencode, slate, cursor,
openclaw, hermes, gbrain) in sync.

* test: gbrain PGLite + voyage-code-3 init contract + sync integration

Two test files cover the voyage-code-3 default landed in the previous
commits:

test/gbrain-init-voyage-code-3.test.ts — free, deterministic, gate-tier.
Mirrors gbrain-init-rollback.test.ts: runs the skill template's
PGLite-init bash against a fake \`gbrain\` that logs argv to a sentinel
file, asserts the right flags pass under VOYAGE_API_KEY set/unset/empty.
Also includes belt-and-suspenders grep checks that the template literally
contains the voyage gate at all 3 PGLite init sites.

test/gbrain-sync-voyage-code-3-integration.test.ts — real, paid,
skip-if-no-key. Inits a sandbox PGLite with voyage-code-3 in a tempdir,
registers a 3-file fixture git repo as a source, runs
\`gbrain sync --strategy code --skip-failed\`, asserts pages imported +
embedded > 0. Also asserts \`gbrain doctor\` reports no dimension
mismatch and the column width is 1024d. \`gbrain code-def\` smoke test
confirms symbol extraction works against the embedded fixture.

The integration test deliberately omits a \`gbrain query\` assertion:
query produces correct output but \`gbrain query\` hangs ~2 min on a
fresh PGLite before exiting. The smoking-gun assertion for "embeddings
worked" is the "N pages embedded" line from sync output. Symbol-aware
correctness is covered by the code-def assertion.

Caught one real bug during test development: gbrain reads
\`.gbrain-source\` from CWD and tries to sync that source too. The test
sets cwd to the sandbox root to avoid the parent worktree's pin
polluting the sandbox brain. Documented in the runGbrain() helper.

Runtime: ~22s when VOYAGE_API_KEY is set, instant skip otherwise.
Cost: ~\$0.001 per run (3 tiny fixture files, ~500 tokens of Voyage
embeddings).

* chore: bump to v1.43.1.0 with voyage-code-3 default + tests

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK for v1.43.1.0 voyage-code-3 default

Add VOYAGE_API_KEY row to the env-var table; clarify the OPENAI_API_KEY row as
the fallback path. Refresh the "search returns nothing semantic" troubleshooting
to mention both providers and clarify that the env-shim only promotes
ANTHROPIC/OPENAI from GSTACK_ — VOYAGE_API_KEY must be set directly in Conductor
workspace env.

* docs: drop em-dashes + replace phantom embedding-migrations.md ref with inline recipe

CHANGELOG release-summary prose used em-dashes (violates voice rule) and
linked to docs/embedding-migrations.md which is gbrain's doc, not gstack's.
Replace with periods/commas and inline the dimension-mismatch recovery
recipe directly (mv + re-init).

# Changelog
## [1.43.1.0] - 2026-05-21
## **Local gbrain PGLite now defaults to Voyage's code-specialized embedding model when `VOYAGE_API_KEY` is set.**
## **Symbol search ranks implementation files above tests on real code queries.**
gstack-driven PGLite installs now use `voyage:voyage-code-3` (1024-dim) as the default embedding model when `VOYAGE_API_KEY` is in env. Falls back to gbrain's auto-selected provider chain (OpenAI `text-embedding-3-large` 1536-dim when `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set, etc.) when the Voyage key is absent. The switch hits 3 PGLite init sites in `/setup-gbrain` (Step 1.5 broken-db rollback, Path 3 direct PGLite, Step 4.5 split-engine local code index) and the post-install hint in `bin/gstack-gbrain-install`. Two new test files pin the contract: a free deterministic test that runs the template's voyage-gate shell against a fake gbrain to verify argv across `VOYAGE_API_KEY` set/unset/empty, and a real Voyage integration test (skips without the API key) that runs `gbrain init` + `sync --strategy code` against a sandbox PGLite to catch dimension mismatches, silent embedding failures, and provider adapter regressions.
### The numbers that matter
Source: head-to-head A/B against `voyage-4-large` on this codebase using `gbrain query --no-expand` (pure vector retrieval, no LLM expansion). 10 realistic code queries, a mix of symbol lookups, semantic intent, and design questions.
| Surface | voyage-4-large | voyage-code-3 | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strict wins (right impl file beats test file) | — | 4 | +4 |
| Ties (same top hit) | 5 | 5 | 0 |
| Losses | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Top-1 confidence (avg) | 0.84 | 0.90 | +0.06 |
| Cost per 1M tokens | $0.18 | $0.18 | 0 |
| Query | voyage-4-large top hit | voyage-code-3 top hit |
|---|---|---|
| `ownsTerminalAgent` | `terminal-agent-integration.test.ts` (test) | `terminal-agent.ts` (impl) |
| `ServerConfig terminal-agent teardown ownership` | `pair-agent-e2e.test.ts killDaemon` (loose match) | `terminal-agent.ts disposeSession` |
| `unicode sanitization at server egress` | `sanitize.test.ts` | `server-node.mjs sanitizeReplacer` |
| `how does websocket auth use Sec-WebSocket-Protocol` | no results | `terminal-agent.ts buildServer` |
The win pattern is exactly what voyage-code-3 advertises: surfacing implementation source over tests when the query is a code concept. Cost is unchanged from voyage-4-large at $0.18 per 1M tokens. A full reindex of a 100K-LOC repo runs about $0.20.
### What this means for builders
If you have `VOYAGE_API_KEY` set and run `/setup-gbrain` on a fresh machine, `gbrain code-def`, `code-refs`, and semantic queries against your worktree now rank real implementation files above test fixtures with consistently higher confidence. No flag to pass, no config to edit. Existing brains keep whatever embedding model they were built with. The new default only applies to fresh inits. If you re-run `/setup-gbrain` on a machine that already has an OpenAI 1536-dim brain at `~/.gbrain/brain.pglite/`, the config rewrite triggers a column-dim mismatch that `gbrain doctor` will flag clearly. Recovery is `mv ~/.gbrain/brain.pglite ~/.gbrain/brain.pglite.bak && gbrain init --pglite --embedding-model voyage:voyage-code-3 --embedding-dimensions 1024` followed by a fresh `/sync-gbrain`.
### Itemized changes
**Added**
- `test/gbrain-init-voyage-code-3.test.ts` — 5 deterministic tests covering the voyage-gate shell semantics + a template-shape invariant that asserts the gate appears at exactly 3 PGLite init sites
- `test/gbrain-sync-voyage-code-3-integration.test.ts` — 4 tests (1 always-on guard, 3 voyage-gated) running real `gbrain init --pglite --embedding-model voyage:voyage-code-3` + `sync --strategy code` against a sandbox PGLite, asserting embeddings round-trip, doctor reports no dimension mismatch, and `code-def` finds symbols in the embedded fixture. Skips when `VOYAGE_API_KEY` or `gbrain` CLI is absent
**Changed**
- `setup-gbrain/SKILL.md.tmpl` — 3 PGLite init sites (Step 1.5 broken-db rollback, Path 3 direct, Step 4.5 split-engine) now gate `--embedding-model voyage:voyage-code-3 --embedding-dimensions 1024` on `VOYAGE_API_KEY`. Falls back to gbrain's auto-selected provider chain when unset
- `sync-gbrain/SKILL.md.tmpl` — 2 manual repair hints (D12 missing-engine, D4 corrupted-config) suggest the voyage flags with the same fallback pattern
- `bin/gstack-gbrain-install` — post-install "Next:" hint shows the voyage flags when the key is set, prints a tip about setting the key when absent
- `USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK.md` — Path 3 docs explain the embedding model selection and the A/B rationale
- `CLAUDE.md` — drops the obsolete `~/.zshrc grep+eval` recipe for API keys; points at the `GSTACK_*` env-shim (`lib/conductor-env-shim.ts`) as the canonical answer. Keeps the Agent SDK `env: {...}` gotcha for tests
**Regenerated**
- `setup-gbrain/SKILL.md`, `sync-gbrain/SKILL.md` — refreshed via `bun run gen:skill-docs --host all` after the template edits
