chore: bump version and changelog (v0.19.0.0) — /plan-tune v1

Ships /plan-tune as observational substrate: typed question registry, dual-track
developer profile (declared + inferred), explicit per-question preferences with
user-origin gate, inline tune: feedback across every tier >= 2 skill, unified
developer-profile.json with migration from builder-profile.jsonl.

Scope rolled back from initial CEO EXPANSION plan after outside-voice review
(Codex). 6 deferrals tracked as P0 TODOs with explicit acceptance criteria:
E1 substrate wiring, E3 narrative/vibe, E4 blind-spot coach, E5 LANDED
celebration, E6 auto-adjustment, E7 psychographic auto-decide.

See docs/designs/PLAN_TUNING_V0.md for the full design record.

# Changelog
## [0.19.0.0] - 2026-04-17
### Added
- **`/plan-tune` skill — gstack can now learn which of its prompts you find valuable vs noisy.** If you keep answering the same AskUserQuestion the same way every time, this is the skill that teaches gstack to stop asking. Say "stop asking me about changelog polish" — gstack writes it down, respects it from that point forward, and one-way doors (destructive ops, architecture forks, security choices) still always ask regardless, because safety wins over preference. Plain English everywhere. No CLI subcommand syntax to memorize.
- **Dual-track developer profile.** Tell gstack who you are as a builder (5 dimensions: scope appetite, risk tolerance, detail preference, autonomy, architecture care). gstack also silently tracks what your behavior suggests. `/plan-tune` shows both side by side plus the gap, so you can see when your actions don't match your self-description. v1 is observational — no skills change their behavior based on your profile yet. That comes in v2, once the profile has proven itself.
- **Builder archetypes.** Run `/plan-tune vibe` (v2) or let the skill infer it from your dimensions. Eight named archetypes (Cathedral Builder, Ship-It Pragmatist, Deep Craft, Taste Maker, Solo Operator, Consultant, Wedge Hunter, Builder-Coach) plus a Polymath fallback when your dimensions don't fit a standard pattern. Codebase and model ship now; the user-facing commands are v2.
- **Inline `tune:` feedback across every gstack skill.** When a skill asks you something, you can reply `tune: never-ask` or `tune: always-ask` or free-form English and gstack normalizes it into a preference. Only runs when you've opted in via `gstack-config set question_tuning true` — zero impact until then.
- **Profile-poisoning defense.** Inline `tune:` writes only get accepted when the prefix came from your own chat message — never from tool output, file content, PR descriptions, or anywhere else a malicious repo might inject instructions. The binary enforces this with exit code 2 for rejected writes. This was an outside-voice catch from Codex review; it's baked in from day one.
- **Typed question registry with CI enforcement.** 53 recurring AskUserQuestion categories across 15 skills are now declared in `scripts/question-registry.ts` with stable IDs, categories, door types (one-way vs two-way), and options. A CI test asserts the schema stays valid. Safety-critical questions (destructive ops, architecture forks) are classified `one-way` at the declaration site — never inferred from prose summaries.
- **Unified developer profile.** The `/office-hours` skill's existing builder-profile.jsonl (sessions, signals, resources, topics) is folded into a single `~/.gstack/developer-profile.json` on first use. Migration is atomic, idempotent, and archives the source file — rerun it safely. Legacy `gstack-builder-profile` is a thin shim that delegates to the new binary.
### For contributors
- New `docs/designs/PLAN_TUNING_V0.md` captures the full design journey: every decision with pros/cons, what was deferred to v2 with explicit acceptance criteria, what was rejected after Codex review (substrate-as-prompt-convention, ±0.2 clamp, preamble LANDED detection, single event-schema), and how the final shape came together. Read this before working on v2 to understand why the constraints exist.
- Three new binaries: `bin/gstack-question-log` (validated append to question-log.jsonl), `bin/gstack-question-preference` (explicit preference store with user-origin gate), `bin/gstack-developer-profile` (supersedes gstack-builder-profile; supports --read, --migrate, --derive, --profile, --gap, --trace, --check-mismatch, --vibe).
- Three new preamble resolvers in `scripts/resolvers/question-tuning.ts`: question preference check (before each AskUserQuestion), question log (after), inline tune feedback with user-origin gate instructions. Consolidated into one compact `generateQuestionTuning` section for tier >= 2 skills to minimize token overhead.
- Hand-crafted psychographic signal map (`scripts/psychographic-signals.ts`) with version hash so cached profiles recompute automatically when the map changes between gstack versions. 9 signal keys covering scope-appetite, architecture-care, test-discipline, code-quality-care, detail-preference, design-care, devex-care, distribution-care, session-mode.
- Keyword-fallback one-way-door classifier (`scripts/one-way-doors.ts`) — secondary safety layer for ad-hoc question IDs that don't appear in the registry. Primary safety is the registry declaration.
- 118 new tests across 4 test files: `test/plan-tune.test.ts` (47 tests — schema, helpers, safety, classifier, signal map, archetypes, preamble injection, end-to-end pipeline), `test/gstack-question-log.test.ts` (21 tests — valid payloads, rejected payloads, injection defense), `test/gstack-question-preference.test.ts` (31 tests — check/write/read/clear/stats + user-origin gate + schema validation), `test/gstack-developer-profile.test.ts` (25 tests — read/migrate/derive/trace/gap/vibe/check-mismatch). Gate-tier E2E test `skill-e2e-plan-tune.test.ts` registered (runs on `bun run test:evals`).
- Scope rollback driven by outside-voice review. The initial CEO EXPANSION plan bundled psychographic auto-decide + blind-spot coach + LANDED celebration + full substrate wiring. Codex's 20-point critique caught that without a typed question registry, "substrate" was marketing; E1/E4/E6 formed a logical contradiction; profile poisoning was unaddressed; LANDED in the preamble injected side effects into every skill's hot path. Accepted the rollback: v1 ships the schema + observation layer, v2 adds behavior adaptation only after the foundation proves durable. All six expansions are tracked as P0 TODOs with explicit acceptance criteria.

# TODOS
## Plan Tune (v2 deferrals from v0.19.0.0 rollback)
All six items are gated on v1 dogfood results and the acceptance criteria in
`docs/designs/PLAN_TUNING_V0.md`. They were explicitly deferred after Codex's
outside-voice review drove a scope rollback from the CEO EXPANSION plan. v1
ships the observational substrate only; v2 adds behavior adaptation.
### E1 — Substrate wiring (5 skills consume profile)
**What:** Add `{{PROFILE_ADAPTATION:<skill>}}` placeholder to ship, review,
office-hours, plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review SKILL.md.tmpl files. Implement
`scripts/resolvers/profile-consumer.ts` with a per-skill adaptation registry
(`scripts/profile-adaptations/{skill}.ts`). Each consumer reads
`~/.gstack/developer-profile.json` on preamble and adapts skill-specific
defaults (verbosity, mode selection, severity thresholds, pushback intensity).
**Why:** v1 observational profile writes a file nobody reads. The substrate
claim only becomes real when skills actually consume it. Without this, /plan-tune
is a fancy config page.
**Pros:** gstack feels personal. Every skill adapts to the user's steering
style instead of defaulting to middle-of-the-road.
**Cons:** Risk of psychographic drift if profile is noisy. Requires calibrated
profile (v1 acceptance criteria: 90+ days stable across 3+ skills).
**Context:** See `docs/designs/PLAN_TUNING_V0.md` §Deferred to v2. v1 ships the
signal map + inferred computation; it's displayed in /plan-tune but no skill
reads it yet.
**Effort:** L (human: ~1 week / CC: ~4h)
**Priority:** P0
**Depends on:** 2+ weeks of v1 dogfood, profile diversity check passing.
### E3 — `/plan-tune narrative` + `/plan-tune vibe`
**What:** Event-anchored narrative ("You accepted 7 scope expansions, overrode
test_failure_triage 4 times, called every PR 'boil the lake'") + one-word vibe
archetype (Cathedral Builder, Ship-It Pragmatist, Deep Craft, etc).
scripts/archetypes.ts is ALREADY SHIPPED in v1 (8 archetypes + Polymath
fallback). v2 work is the narrative generator + /plan-tune skill wiring.
**Why:** Makes profile tangible and shareable. Screenshot-able.
**Pros:** Killer delight feature. Social surface for gstack. Concrete, specific
output anchored in real events (not generic AI slop).
**Cons:** Requires stable inferred profile — without calibration it produces
generic paragraphs. Gen-tests need to validate no-slop.
**Context:** Archetypes already defined. Just need the /plan-tune narrative
subcommand + slop-check test.
**Effort:** S+ (human: ~1 day / CC: ~1h)
**Priority:** P0
**Depends on:** Calibrated profile (>= 20 events, 3+ skills, 7+ days span).
### E4 — Blind-spot coach
**What:** Preamble injection that surfaces the OPPOSITE of the user's profile
once per session per tier >= 2 skill. Boil-the-ocean user gets challenged on
scope ("what's the 80% version?"); small-scope user gets challenged on ambition.
`scripts/resolvers/blind-spot-coach.ts`. Marker file for session dedup. Opt-out
via `gstack-config set blind_spot_coach false`.
**Why:** Makes gstack a coach (challenges you) instead of a mirror (reflects
you). The killer differentiation vs. a settings menu.
**Pros:** The feature that makes gstack feel like Garry. Surfaces assumptions
the user hasn't challenged.
**Cons:** Logically conflicts with E1 (which adapts TO profile) and E6 (which
flags mismatch). Requires interaction-budget design: global session budget +
escalation rules + explicit exclusion from mismatch detection. Risk of feeling
like a nag if fires wrong.
**Context:** v2 must redesign to resolve the E1/E4/E6 composition issue Codex
caught. Dogfood required to calibrate frequency.
**Effort:** M (human: ~3 days / CC: ~2h design + ~1h impl)
**Priority:** P0
**Depends on:** E1 shipped + interaction-budget design spec.
### E5 — LANDED celebration HTML page
**What:** When a PR authored by the user is newly merged to the base branch,
open an animated HTML celebration page in the browser. Confetti + typewriter
headline + stats counter. Shows: what we built (PR stats + CHANGELOG entry),
road traveled (scope decisions from CEO plan), road not traveled (deferred
items), where we're going (next TODOs), who you are as a builder (vibe +
narrative + profile delta for this ship). Self-contained HTML (CSS animations
only, no JS deps).
**CRITICAL REVISION from v0 plan:** Passive detection must NOT live in the
preamble (Codex #9). When promoted, moves to explicit `/plan-tune show-landed`
OR post-ship hook — not passive detection in the hot path.
**Why:** Biggest personality moment in gstack. The "one-word thing that makes
you remember why you built this."
**Pros:** Screenshot-worthy. Shareable. The kind of dopamine hit that turns
power users into evangelists.
**Cons:** Product theater if the substrate isn't solid. Needs /design-shotgun
→ /design-html for the visual direction. Requires E2 unified profile for
narrative/vibe data.
**Context:** /land-and-deploy trust/adoption is low, so passive detection is
the right trigger shape. Dedup marker per PR in `~/.gstack/.landed-celebrated-*`.
E2E tests for squash/merge-commit/rebase/co-author/fresh-clone/dedup variants.
**Effort:** M+ (human: ~1 week / CC: ~3h total)
**Priority:** P0
**Depends on:** E3 narrative/vibe shipped. /design-shotgun run on real PR data
to pick a visual direction, then /design-html to finalize.
### E6 — Auto-adjustment based on declared ↔ inferred mismatch
**What:** Currently `/plan-tune` shows the gap between declared and inferred
(v1 observational). v2 auto-suggests declaration updates when the gap exceeds
a threshold ("Your profile says hands-off but you've overridden 40% of
recommendations — you're actually taste-driven. Update declared autonomy from
0.8 to 0.5?"). Requires explicit user confirmation before any mutation (Codex
trust-boundary #15 already baked into v1).
**Why:** Profile drifts silently without correction. Self-correcting profile
stays honest.
**Pros:** Profile becomes more accurate over time. User sees the gap and
decides.
**Cons:** Requires stable inferred profile (diversity check). False positives
nag the user.
**Context:** v1 has `--check-mismatch` that flags > 0.3 gaps but doesn't
suggest fixes. v2 adds the suggestion UX + per-dimension threshold tuning from
real data.
**Effort:** S (human: ~1 day / CC: ~45min)
**Priority:** P0
**Depends on:** Calibrated profile + real mismatch data from v1 dogfood.
### E7 — Psychographic auto-decide
**What:** When inferred profile is calibrated AND a question is two-way AND
the user's dimensions strongly favor one option, auto-choose without asking
(visible annotation: "Auto-decided via profile. Change with /plan-tune."). v1
only auto-decides via EXPLICIT per-question preferences; v2 adds profile-driven
auto-decide.
**Why:** The whole point of the psychographic. Silent, correct defaults based
on who the user IS, not just what they've said.
**Pros:** Friction-free skill invocation for calibrated power users. Over time,
gstack feels like it's reading your mind.
**Cons:** Highest-risk deferral. Wrong auto-decides are costly. Requires very
high confidence in the signal map AND calibration gate.
**Context:** v1 diversity gate is `sample_size >= 20 AND skills_covered >= 3
AND question_ids_covered >= 8 AND days_span >= 7`. v2 must prove this gate
actually catches noisy profiles before shipping.
**Effort:** M (human: ~3 days / CC: ~2h)
**Priority:** P0
**Depends on:** E1 (skills consuming profile) + real observed data showing
calibration gate is trustworthy.
