v1.86.0.0 feat: route outside reviews by harness (#2850)

* feat: add a restricted and supervised Claude Code runner

Preserve configured authentication and models while enforcing tool access, strict completion JSON, bounded output and process cleanup. Cover argv, failure handling, session metadata and Windows process containment.

* feat: route outside reviews by harness and migrate wrapper installs

Use Claude Code from Codex and Codex from other supported hosts, with shared invocation rendering, positive gate validation and per-phase provenance. Rename /claude to /claude-code, repair managed shared and copied installations safely, and generate native Kiro skills. Add installed-workflow, failure-injection and live cross-harness regression coverage.

* test: recognize CEO mode labels without terminal spacing

The paid workflow rendered SCOPEEXPANSION at option 4, but its driver required a literal space. Match the leading mode title without cursor-spacing artifacts and ignore adjacent preview text. Preserve missing-target failures and downstream posture assertions.

* test: isolate plan-count fixtures before starting review workflows

Seed the complete test plan in a private git repository before launching Claude, so a bare slash command cannot review the live workspace while a delayed fixture message remains queued. Preserve count thresholds, parsers and budgets. Add initial-context and installed-discovery tests, and retain startup/terminal diagnostics on failed evaluations.

* test: stabilize review fixtures and Claude eval startup

Preserve source boundaries in workflow judge inputs, isolate CEO mode plans, and wait for interactive trust input readiness. Keep startup failure evidence and retain existing models, budgets, and assertions.

* test: classify collapsed review modes and isolate seeded findings

Keep review questions out of the setup count when terminal cursor positioning removes spaces. State existing webhook safeguards so the five-finding control measures its seeded defects without accidental extra security and concurrency gaps. Preserve question bands and the paired control.

* chore: prepare v1.82.0.0 release

* fix: eliminate browser and process-cleanup test flakes

Pin every CI surface to Bun 1.4.0 to avoid extra-stdio finalizers closing
reused live sockets. Add an isolated GC/listener regression that fails on
Bun 1.3.13, and prevent coordinated rollback to an affected CI runtime.

Check renderer cleanup against the render's own staging directory so
concurrent renders cannot invalidate the assertion. Make the no-pgrep
process-tree walk tolerate disappearing /proc entries, and synchronize
its test fixture through child readiness and pipe EOF instead of sleeps.

Validation: 9,157 passed, 31 skipped, zero failures across 556 files with
retries disabled. Build, all-host generation freshness, and skill checks
passed. All three races have failing-before/passing-after regressions.

Cover captured stale menus, permission lifecycles, setup classification,
and disabled-review tool availability with deterministic regressions.

Advance release metadata and the upgrade migration to the unclaimed
1.83.0.0 slot.

* fix: drive native review questions and preserve current plans

Use the native single-choice keyboard protocol and current terminal viewport,
with per-question navigation inside packets and completed-call coverage.
Keep permissions, multi-select menus, and Submit controls distinct.

Send Autoplan reviewers the amended implementation plan, keep its review record
separate, and supply retained application contracts in the chain fixture.
Clarify individual DevEx decisions and complete CEO fix options; use one active
plan destination for the section-loading report.

* test: fix Windows CI fixtures and credential scan

Rebase captured JSON values and filesystem evidence using the appropriate
path convention. Compile native fake CLIs on Windows and synchronize pipe
holder readiness, with cleanup retained when assertions fail.

Assemble synthetic credential fixtures at runtime so the added-line scan
keeps enforcing the same gate without flagging its own rejection controls.

Discover generated skills directly for the empty-find regression check,
avoiding a recursive scan through saved evaluation artifacts and dependencies.

* fix: preserve source renders on Windows

Compare canonical generator paths using native separators so an output
sidecar pointing at the source cannot overwrite its skill or metadata.
Keep the regression fixture isolated from the real checkout and expose
freshness diagnostics before asserting subprocess status.

Detach Windows drain-test pipe holders from the fake provider's automatic
child cleanup while preserving the enclosing runner job and its assertions.

* fix: clarify outside review fallback and CEO decisions

Render one applicable own-harness fallback path and retain native review,
disabled policy, and missing-coverage semantics. Align report field names
and mode labels, and make the existing per-cut scope approval explicit.

Regenerate skill outputs and keep the workflow judge's model, thresholds,
and retry policy unchanged.

* chore: move release to free version slot (v1.86.0.0)

PR #2852 now claims v1.85.0.0. Align the release metadata and
rename migration so upgrades from that version still receive it.

## Skill Invocation During Plan Mode
If the user invokes a skill in plan mode, the skill takes precedence over generic plan mode behavior. **Treat the skill file as executable instructions, not reference.** Follow it step by step starting from Step 0; any AskUserQuestion the skill fires is the workflow operating within plan mode, not a violation of it — and a skill whose instructions resolve a question themselves (e.g. a plan-mode auto-select) may legitimately not ask it. AskUserQuestion (any variant — `mcp__*__AskUserQuestion` or native; see "AskUserQuestion Format → Tool resolution") satisfies plan mode's end-of-turn requirement. If AskUserQuestion is unavailable or a call fails, follow the AskUserQuestion Format failure fallback: `headless` → BLOCKED; `interactive` the prose fallback (also satisfies end-of-turn). At a STOP point, stop immediately. Do not continue the workflow or call ExitPlanMode there. Commands marked "PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN" execute. Call ExitPlanMode only after the skill workflow completes, or if the user tells you to cancel the skill or leave plan mode.
The invoked skill overrides generic plan mode. **Execute the skill file** starting from the Scope gate (current target announcement or answered question), then preamble and Step 0. Skill questions are valid; skip only questions the skill resolves. Any AskUserQuestion variant satisfies end-of-turn; use AskUserQuestion Format's tool resolution. If unavailable/failed: `headless` → BLOCKED; `interactive` → prose fallback (satisfies end-of-turn). At STOP, stop: no continuation or ExitPlanMode. Execute "PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN" commands. ExitPlanMode only after skill completion or if the user cancels the skill or tells you to leave plan mode.
If `PROACTIVE` is `"false"`, do not auto-invoke or proactively suggest skills. If a skill seems useful, ask: "I think /skillname might help here — want me to run it?"

If kind (e.g., architectural choice between two different systems, posture-over-posture, A/B/C where each is a different kind of thing), skip the score and add one line: `Note: options differ in kind, not coverage — no completeness score.` Do NOT fabricate scores on kind-differentiated questions — filler scores are worse than no score.
* **Zero findings:** if a section has zero findings, state "No issues, moving on" and proceed. Otherwise, use AskUserQuestion for each finding — a finding with an "obvious fix" is still a finding and still needs user approval before any change lands in the plan.
## Unresolved decisions
If the user does not respond to an AskUserQuestion or interrupts to move on, note which decisions were left unresolved. At the end of the review, list these as "Unresolved decisions that may bite you later" — never silently default to an option.

Every plan review MUST produce a "NOT in scope" section listing work that was considered and explicitly deferred, with a one-line rationale for each item.

## Retrospective learning
Check the git log for this branch. If there are prior commits suggesting a previous review cycle (e.g., review-driven refactors, reverted changes), note what was changed and whether the current plan touches the same areas. Be more aggressive reviewing areas that were previously problematic.
## Formatting rules
* NUMBER issues (1, 2, 3...) and LETTERS for options (A, B, C...).
* Label with NUMBER + LETTER (e.g., "3A", "3B").
* One sentence max per option. Pick in under 5 seconds.
* After each review section, pause and ask for feedback before moving on.

**Navigation only.** Match task prerequisites, dependencies and execution order to the written plan; do not add or strengthen them in this question or its option descriptions. A test required before editing one function does not make every independent lane wait for it.
If a substantive late change is needed, return to the individual issue-approval loop. After the answer, update the plan's tasks and dependency/parallelization sections, refresh the review report and log, then Read the updated plan and rerun the exit gate before ExitPlanMode. A next-step answer alone approves no implementation change.
Use AskUserQuestion with only the applicable options:
