v1.83.0.0 feat: Memorable recall bridge, opt-in and receipted (supersedes #2831) (#2836)

* feat: add optional Memorable workflow memory

(cherry picked from commit 6bd5d477b2)

* fix: refuse the second registration, and say what leaves the machine

Two things the first cut got wrong.

Memorable's own installer registers the same UserPromptSubmit hook, under its
own name and outside gstack's table. `memorable start`, `memorable setup` and
`memorable install-hooks` all do it, and that is the documented way to install
the CLI, so on most machines it is already there before gstack is asked.
Registering ours beside it ran the same command twice on every prompt: context
injected twice, and the session captured twice against the user's own
extraction allowance. `enable` now looks for it and refuses, naming the entry
and the file it lives in; `status` says who registered it rather than reporting
none. Matched on the command rather than on a tag, for the reason the hook
table already gives: Claude Code rewrites settings and private tags do not
survive it.

The removal instruction says to delete the entry by hand because Memorable has
no command that removes its own hook. `uninstall-hooks` is not a command in
0.5.18; it answers "unknown command".

The README said "Memorable, not gstack, owns the captured data and any network
access", which answers the question by pointing away from it. It now carries a
per-command table of exactly what leaves the machine, in the shape the adopted
gbrain section uses, and it is explicit that the hook makes no network call of
its own, that every row is the third-party CLI acting under its own consent,
and that `gstack-egress` will therefore not show any of it. Under it, the split
between what gstack pin-tests (the gating and the wiring) and what is
Memorable's claim (storage, sending, and what disable and forget erase).

The CHANGELOG entry is removed. This file has never carried an [Unreleased]
heading; every entry is a version and a date, written at release. The text is
in the pull request for whoever cuts the next one.

Three tests added: enable refuses and touches neither consent nor settings when
Memorable already holds the hook, status names that registration, and a foreign
UserPromptSubmit hook is not mistaken for Memorable's.

(cherry picked from commit e0899afa8c)

* docs: a guide for the Memorable bridge, in the gbrain-sync shape

README carries the section and the egress table; this is the page it links to
for anyone who wants the whole thing. Same shape as docs/gbrain-sync.md, which
is the closest thing in the repo: an optional integration whose interesting
questions are all about what leaves the machine and how to turn it off.

What it covers that the README cannot at that length: that the hook sees every
Claude Code prompt rather than only the ones a skill produced; that capture is
a separate consent from this bridge, so turning the bridge off does not turn
capture off; what to do when Memorable has already registered the hook itself,
which is the common case because its own installer does it; and why the hook
has no loud failure path.

The egress table is repeated here rather than linked, because the sentence it
is answering ("what does this send") is the one somebody arrives on this page
already asking.

* feat(settings-hook): identity-aware remove-source + read-only list-items

remove-source used to inspect only entries still carrying the
_gstack_source tag. Claude Code strips that tag when it rewrites
settings.json, so an off switch built on remove-source alone silently
no-oped on exactly the entries it was written for. Removal is now driven
by KNOWN_HOOKS identity for the requested source (tagged or not), keeps
the tagged-single-item legacy-stray rule, never touches another source's
items, and leaves entries with nothing of ours byte-identical.

list-items is the read-only view of the same identity table: one JSON
string literal per matching hook command, filters (--owned-by,
--command-regex as a JavaScript RegExp) applied inside the JS, empty
stdout for no match, and the mutating verbs' exit codes (1 usage, 3
unparseable settings, 4 unexpected shape) so callers can decide
mutations from its output without parsing raw command strings.

* feat(config): memorable_recall consent key (on|off, default off, reject-and-preserve)

The gstack-side gate for the Memorable UserPromptSubmit bridge. `on` lets
a Claude Code hook hand every prompt to a third-party binary, so the key
follows the codex_reviews rule: an invalid value is rejected and the
stored value kept, never coerced in either direction. Registered in all
four places gstack-config keeps in sync (annotated header, DEFAULTS
table, the set validator, and both enumeration loops). Memorable's own
capture consent (`memorable enable`) is a separate thing gstack never
sets.

* feat(hooks): memorable-user-prompt-hook.ts — consent gate, deny veto, HIGH-tier pre-scan, fail-closed receipt, trust envelope; runExternal in spawn-bin

The PR's hook exec'd the vendor binary with the full environment and
passed its stdout to Claude verbatim. It is now the house pattern: a
fail-open bash shim over a .ts twin that (1) gates on the memorable_recall
consent key, (2) skips repos whose trust policy is deny or read-only,
(3) scans the prompt (raw bytes and decoded string leaves) and refuses to
hand over a HIGH-tier credential shape, (4) writes a fail-closed egress
receipt naming the local executable it ran, (5) spawns the vendor in its
own process group with an allowlisted environment and group-kills it on
timeout, (6) accepts only a string additionalContext back, caps it at
8 KiB on a UTF-8 boundary and wraps it in the trust envelope, and (7)
records an `output-written` outcome after the stdout write completes.
One deadline clock (4.5 s) undercuts Claude Code's 5 s kill and bounds
both ledger writes through the new lockBudgetMs option on
writeReceipt/writeOutcome (default unchanged).

spawn-bin gains runExternal for external executables (detached group,
stderr drained, stdin EPIPE handled, stdout capped, win32 refused).
The wiring test pins the sink fail-closed and sweeps hosts/.

* fix(gstack-memorable): canonical hook path, no vendor consent, --timeout 5, identity-based status, verified disable, lifecycle lock

enable used to bake the hook path from whatever tree the CLI ran in and
to run the vendor's own `memorable enable` (its consent for storing AND
uploading session traces) before registering anything. It now resolves
the canonical install like setup does and refuses when that install does
not carry this bridge (version and hook-twin check), registers through
the canonical hook manager with --timeout 5, records gstack's own consent
in memorable_recall, never executes the vendor, and restores the captured
prior state if consent cannot be recorded. disable flips the gate first,
removes the entry by identity (tag or no tag), verifies both states and
reports partial failure instead of a blended success. status reads only:
resolution path, gate, registration by identity (gstack / vendor-own /
both / unknown), mismatch lines, receipt count, recent hook errors. enable
and disable serialise under a lock with stale takeover. Windows is
refused (TODOS.md D21). Exit codes mirror the hook manager (3/4/5).

* fix(setup): --no-team sweep keeps the opt-in gstack-memorable hook

`./setup --no-team` finishes its teardown with `prune-stale --all`, which
removes every KNOWN_HOOKS item. The Memorable bridge hook is a
user-registered opt-in unrelated to team mode, exactly like verify-gate,
so it joins the sweep exclusion list. The verify-gate pin now accepts the
comma-extended list; a schema-aware case proves the exclusion keeps both
opt-ins (tagged or tag-stripped) while the uninstall sweep still removes
them.

* fix(uninstall): named gstack-memorable arm, vendor-consent notice, honest kept config

The identity sweep already removed the Memorable bridge hook as an
unnamed stray. It now has a named arm like every other source, so the
summary says what went, and says plainly that Memorable's own consent
(if the user granted it) is theirs to revoke. Under --keep-state the kept
config is set memorable_recall=off so it never claims a hook that is
gone. The canonical-paths pins cover the sixth KNOWN_HOOKS row and the
new uninstall source.

* feat(egress): memorable-recall row in gstack-egress grants

`gstack-egress grants` promises every standing consent in force with the
command that revokes it. The Memorable bridge's memorable_recall key is
one, so it gets a row: off by default, granted only when
`gstack-memorable enable` set it, revoked by `gstack-memorable disable`.

* docs(memorable): accurate bridge guide; README row, Docs table, privacy pointer; PROJECT_STRUCTURE

The README section becomes one row in the Standalone binaries table (the
shape every other binary uses) plus a Docs-table row and one Privacy
bullet saying that optional third-party bridges are off by default and
receipted. The guide now separates the two consents, says what gstack
hands to the vendor binary and what the receipt can and cannot attest,
attributes every statement about the vendor's network activity to the
vendor, describes the hook manager accurately (identity via KNOWN_HOOKS,
list-items vs list-sources, rollback is whole-file), states the Claude
Code hot-reload behaviour, adds a troubleshooting runbook, and keeps the
contributors' credit in the CHANGELOG idiom.

* chore(todos): Memorable bridge follow-ups

Filed from the CEO and eng reviews of the bridge fix-up: the generic
third-party hook seam, Windows support (deferred whole), the envelope
kind parameter, a vendor payload-minimization contract, a latency and
timeout revisit, resolver and canonical-root consolidation, a
non-interactive MEDIUM-tier redaction policy for hooks, and adopting
list-items at setup's plan-tune check.

* fix(settings-hook): list-items --owned-by with --command-regex intersects

When both filters are given, an item must satisfy both: owned by the
requested source AND matching the pattern. Before, the regex branch
skipped every owned row, so the combination could never match.

* fix(gstack-memorable): compat_check reads list-items output before grepping

Under pipefail, piping the probe straight into grep -q let a non-zero
probe exit mask the match, so a hook manager without list-items was
sometimes reported as compatible. Capture the output, then grep.

* test: coverage for the memorable bridge (remove-source regression for every KNOWN_HOOKS source)

- settings-hook: identity removal pinned for each source in KNOWN_HOOKS;
  list-items unknown flag and combined --owned-by/--command-regex
- gstack-memorable: enable/disable failure paths (lock give-up exit 5
  with the test-only lock timeout override, consent-write failures
  guarded by canRevokeWrites, canonical-version mismatch, no-bun status)
- hook: non-object JSON, missing cwd, non-ASCII bytes, held-open stdin,
  shim without bun, stripControl, resolveVendor, runExternal ENOENT
- egress-receipt: lockBudgetMs 0 and writeOutcome on garbage input
- uninstall: no memorable entry present reports nothing removed

* perf(redact-engine): line/col by binary search over a per-scan line index

lineColAt walked the input from offset 0 for every finding, so a match-dense
input (a pasted log full of emails and IPs) cost O(findings x bytes): 128 KiB
took ~400 ms and 900 KiB tens of seconds. The line starts are now indexed once
per scan, on the first finding, and each finding is a binary search.

* feat(gbrain-repo-policy-client): repoPolicyTier accepts a spawn timeout

The policy script spawn was fixed at 10 s, more than twice the memorable
hook's whole budget. Callers on their own deadline pass what they can afford;
a timeout reads as unreadable and polarity stays the caller's.

* fix(spawn-bin): runExternal resolves on the child's exit, keeps stdin errors advisory

- A vendor that exits 0 but leaves a background child holding its pipes was
  held to the deadline, group-killed and reported as a timeout with its
  answer dropped. 'exit' now starts a short stdout drain, then resolves with
  the real exit code and kills whatever still holds the group.
- EPIPE on the child's stdin (it answered before reading a large input) is
  reported as stdinError, separate from error, so a delivered answer is not
  classified as a spawn failure.
- Stdio streams are destroyed and the child unref'd on resolve so a straggler
  cannot pin the hook process; tail/grace/drain sizes are named constants.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(hooks): memorable hook closes the review army's gaps

- Vendor failures are logged even with empty stderr (a silently hanging
  vendor taxed every prompt invisibly); the stderr tail is withheld when the
  redaction engine finds a credential or PII shape in it; hook-errors.log is
  created 0600.
- Trust-policy veto fails closed when git cannot run or answer in time (it
  read as 'no remote' before); the policy script spawn is bounded by the
  hook's clock; a payload cwd that is not a directory falls back.
- Each secret scan is admitted by the deadline clock (the engine's cost grows
  with match density); stdin is decoded once.
- The pre-spawn gate re-check logs a config failure instead of swallowing it;
  an incomplete stdin read is named as such, not as 'not JSON'.
- Carriage returns are stripped with the other controls.
- The vendor env allowlist adds the standard proxy, TLS and XDG variables so
  a vendor behind a corporate proxy or private CA still reaches its service.
- A stdin EPIPE on a delivered answer is recorded in the outcome, not treated
  as a spawn error.
- Stage caps and the truncation marker are named constants; a test-only
  GSTACK_MEMORABLE_TEST_BUDGET_MS can shorten (never widen) the budget.

* fix(gstack-memorable): lock staleness from the directory mtime; honest messages

- A contender that looked between the holder's mkdir and its ts write read a
  missing ts as 0, called the lock stale and reclaimed it; staleness now comes
  from the lock directory's own mtime (the settings-hook idiom).
- The ensure-event failure is no longer labelled 'warning'; the consent-write
  rollback message says what was actually kept; a removal that left no entry
  is reported on stdout, not as an error; receipts are counted from the
  filtered JSON array, not a formatting artefact; the resolution order and
  lock tuning are named once.

* fix(uninstall): memorable_recall goes off whether or not state is kept

gstack-config resolves its root through GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/GSTACK_HOME, which
can differ from the STATE_DIR uninstall removes; a full uninstall could leave
memorable_recall=on in a config that survived. Flipped only when currently on.

* test: pin the review-army fixes for the memorable bridge

Nonce-scoped orphan checks (the system-wide ps grep could see another
shard's sleeper); exit-with-lingering-grandchild; advisory stdin EPIPE;
withheld stderr; vendor timeout logged with empty stderr; CR stripping;
budget seam; rate-limit expiry and 0600 log; unreadable policy store fails
closed; file-as-cwd fallback; mtime-based lock staleness and the mkdir gap.

* docs(memorable): vendor environment allowlist and stderr policy; two follow-ups

* fix(hooks): memorable hook second-pass review fixes

- Trust-policy lookup fails closed on any git failure that is not 'no such
  remote' or 'not a git repository' (a corrupt or unreadable .git/config and
  dubious ownership exit 128 and used to read as 'no remote').
- pickAdditionalContext takes the first complete top-level JSON object, so a
  vendor whose background helper appends a line to stdout (or prints a banner
  first) does not lose its answer.
- The hook-errors.log rate limiter keys on a stable string (a vendor's
  timestamped stderr no longer defeats it); the log is chmod 0600 on every
  append because sibling hooks create the same file without a mode.
- Scan admission is sized by payload bytes (scan() is uninterruptible).
- The receipt payload class is a stable token; the prose moved to the docs.
- Header, constants and comments match the behaviour (silent skips vs logged
  refusals; HIGH/MEDIUM withholding; STAGE_CAP_MS scope; runExternal in the
  spawn-bin header; the ledger lock budget doc).

* fix(gstack-memorable): stale-lock takeover by atomic rename; comments match behaviour

Two contenders that both saw a stale lock could both reclaim it with rm -rf;
the settings-hook idiom (mv to a private name, exactly one winner) is used
instead. The hook-manager fallback comment now says every verb falls back.

* test: second-pass coverage for the memorable bridge

Policy lookup outcomes (plain dir, repo without policy, corrupt .git/config
fails closed); repoPolicyTier timeoutMs; line/col at line starts, after blank
lines, CRLF and first char; tolerant first-JSON-object parsing; keyed rate
limit; uninstall never creates a config just to say off and flips consent in
a GSTACK_STATE_ROOT outside the removed state dir.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(hooks): memorable hook survives host termination and brace-bearing banners

- The bash shim runs bun as a job and forwards SIGTERM/SIGINT/SIGHUP (bash
  holds a signal until a foreground child exits); the .ts kills the in-flight
  vendor's process group on the way out (runExternal exposes the group kill
  through onSpawn), so a hook the host terminates cannot leave the vendor
  running with the prompt on its stdin.
- The tolerant stdout parser tries every complete top-level object (bounded)
  and takes the first carrying a string additionalContext, so a banner with
  braces or quotes, or a progress object, no longer costs the answer.
- git runs with LC_ALL=C and the not-a-repository check is anchored to the
  start of its message: a localized git or a repository path containing the
  phrase can no longer flip the lookup.
- The rate limiter remembers up to 32 live keys, so alternating failures cost
  two lines, not one per prompt.
- Unicode format characters (bidi overrides, zero-width spaces) are stripped
  from vendor text at egress; the zero-width joiner stays for emoji.
- A killed child (timeout, ENOBUFS) resolves on exit without the stdout drain,
  and the post-kill grace is 100 ms, so the timeout outcome fits the reserve.
- The ledger size warning, which the host discards from an exit-0 hook's
  stderr, is logged where status looks.

Under parallel shard load a child that merely exits fast raced the write and
the EPIPE was not always observed; closing the read end first makes it so.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(hooks): outside-model review fixes for the memorable hook and runExternal

- Nothing in the vendor's process group outlives the call: the group is
  killed on every resolve, the clean 'close' path included (a helper the
  vendor forked with redirected stdio ran on unsupervised before).
- A child that already exited when the deadline fires keeps its result; the
  deadline only ends the drain instead of rewriting a completed exit as a
  timeout.
- The decoded-leaf scan reports when its node/depth bound cut the walk short
  and the hook refuses the hand-off as unscanned; object keys are scanned too.
- git for the trust-policy lookup runs without inherited GIT_* selectors
  (GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE, GIT_CONFIG_*), so it inspects the session's
  repository and no other; a host cancellation kills that git as well.
- An unmatched brace in a vendor banner no longer hides the answer after it.
- The stderr tail is scanned whole before it is cropped for the log, so a
  credential's prefix cannot be cropped away from its secret half.
- The vendor override reads an empty GSTACK_MEMORABLE_BIN as unset, exactly
  as bin/gstack-memorable does, so enable checks the binary the hook runs.

A delivered answer is never reclassified as a spawn error; when the EPIPE is

* docs: list the memorable-recall sink among the fail-closed egress sinks

CLAUDE.md and ARCHITECTURE.md enumerate the receipt sinks that refuse to
send when the ledger cannot be written; the Memorable bridge's per-prompt
hand-off is pinned fail-closed in test/egress-receipt-wiring.test.ts but
was missing from both lists.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: memorable bridge tests pass on a runner that enforces file modes; scanner-proof key fixture

- The consent-write-failure tests make the state dir read-only, which also
  blocked the bridge lock directory (exit 5 before the path under test);
  the locks dir is pre-created so only the consent write fails.
- The unreadable-store test leaves a 0600 directory behind (the policy
  script chmods the store path); cleanup restores the search bit and the
  suite's afterEach reopens directories before removing.
- The AWS-key-shaped fixture is built by concatenation, as every sibling
  test does, so the CI credential gate does not read it as a live key.

+**Memorable's workflow memory plugs into Claude Code through gstack, behind a consent key you control.**
+**Every prompt it sees is receipted, secret-scanned and enveloped. The switch is off until you flip it.**
+
+Memorable (memorable.sh) is a third-party CLI that remembers how you did a task and recalls it the next time you ask for something similar. Its own installer registers a Claude Code hook directly. This release lets you register that hook through gstack instead, with `gstack-memorable enable`, and nothing changes until you run it. When you do, gstack records its own consent key (`memorable_recall`, listed by `gstack-egress grants` with its revoke command), writes an egress receipt before every prompt it hands to the vendor binary and skips the hand-off if the receipt cannot be written, refuses to hand over a prompt carrying a live-shaped credential, skips repositories whose trust policy is `deny` or `read-only`, runs the binary in an allowlisted environment inside its own process group under a 4.5 second budget, and wraps whatever comes back in the trust envelope so recalled text can never block a prompt or speak as gstack. `gstack-memorable status` shows the vendor CLI, the gate, who registered the hook (by identity, so it stays correct after Claude Code rewrites `settings.json`), receipt counts and recent errors. `disable` turns it off and verifies both the consent and the registration before it says so. Claude Code only; Windows is refused for now because there are no process groups to contain the vendor.

+The numbers that matter. Measured on a Linux sandbox with a fake vendor; the scan rows come from `scan()` in `lib/redact-engine.ts` on a synthetic log-like prompt dense in emails and IP addresses (256 KiB: 5,462 findings; 512 KiB: 10,898 findings), `main` against this release.
+
+| Metric | Before | After | Δ |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Redaction scan, 256 KiB log-like prompt | 1,573 ms | 65 ms | 24x faster |
+| Redaction scan, 512 KiB log-like prompt | 6,182 ms | 126 ms | 49x faster |
+| Hook cost per prompt with the bridge disabled | no hook | 49 ms | shim, bun, one config read |
+| gstack work per prompt before the vendor runs | no hook | ~25 ms | gate, policy, scan, receipt |
+| Tests in the free suite covering this bridge and the hook manager | 0 | 128 | +128 |
+
+The scan speedup is not bridge-specific. Line and column for each finding used to be computed by walking the text from the start, so a pasted log full of addresses cost time quadratic in its matches; it is a binary search over a line index now, and every caller of the engine (`gstack-redact`, the pre-push hook, the PR-body scan in `/ship`) gets it.
+
+What this means for you: if you use Memorable, run `memorable login`, `memorable enable`, then `gstack-memorable enable`, and look at `gstack-egress list --sink memorable-recall` after a few prompts. If you do not, nothing changes: the key defaults to off, no hook is registered, `./setup` never registers one for you, and upgrading needs no migration. `docs/memorable-workflow-memory.md` says exactly what gstack hands over, what it can attest, and what is Memorable's own claim.

+### Itemized changes
+
+#### Added
+
+- **`bin/gstack-memorable enable | disable | status`**, the Memorable recall bridge (Claude Code only, off by default). `enable` needs the vendor CLI on the machine, registers gstack's hook at the stable install path with a 5 second timeout, refuses when Memorable's own installer already registered its hook (two entries would run the hook twice per prompt), verifies the stable install carries this bridge before touching anything, and sets `memorable_recall=on`. It never runs `memorable enable`: the vendor's capture consent is yours to grant. `disable` flips the key off first, removes gstack's entry by identity (tag or no tag), verifies both, and reports a partial failure as one. `status` never executes the vendor. One lifecycle transition runs at a time (a lock under `~/.gstack/locks`, stale after 30 seconds). Exit codes mirror the hook manager: 1 refused, 3 unparseable `settings.json`, 4 unexpected shape, 5 lock.
+- **`hosts/claude/hooks/memorable-user-prompt-hook`** (bash shim plus `memorable-user-prompt-hook.ts`), the UserPromptSubmit hook the bridge registers. One deadline clock undercuts Claude Code's 5 second hook kill; stdin is capped at 1 MiB; the prompt is scanned for HIGH-tier credential shapes on the raw bytes and on the decoded string values; the vendor sees only `PATH`, `HOME`, identity and locale variables, temp directories, the standard proxy, TLS and `XDG_*` variables and its own `MEMORABLE*` knobs; only a string `additionalContext` is accepted from it (a vendor `decision`, `continue` or `systemMessage` is dropped), control and Unicode format characters are stripped, the text is capped at 8 KiB on a UTF-8 boundary and enveloped. The vendor's whole process group is killed when the hook finishes, hangs past its budget, or is terminated by the host mid-flight (a process the vendor detaches into its own session is outside that guarantee); a vendor that exits but leaves a helper holding its pipes still gets its answer delivered. Every refusal is one rate-limited line in `~/.gstack/hook-errors.log` (created 0600); the hook always exits 0.
+- **`memorable_recall` config key** (`on | off`, default `off`, a typo is rejected and the prior value kept) and a **`memorable-recall` row in `gstack-egress grants`** naming the vendor CLI, the per-prompt receipt sink and the revoke command.
+- **Egress receipts for the `memorable-recall` sink**, fail-closed: no receipt, no hand-off. The receipt records the byte count and sha256 of the exact stdin handed over, the consent key, and `local:<path to the vendor executable>` as the recipient gstack can attest; the outcome records `exit:0 output-written bytes=N gstack_ms=N`, `exit:N injected=no`, `timeout`, `spawn-error:<code>` or `budget-exhausted`. A receipt with no outcome reads as unknown, never as success.
+- **`gstack-settings-hook list-items --event <E> [--owned-by <source>] [--command-regex <js-re>]`**, a read-only identity view: one JSON string literal per matching hook command, identity from the hook table rather than the tag, empty output when nothing matches, exit 3 on unparseable settings and 4 on an unexpected shape, so a caller can decide a mutation from it.
+- **`runExternal` in `hosts/claude/hooks/spawn-bin.ts`**, the contained way for a hook to run a third-party executable: its own process group, a wall-clock limit that kills the group, a stdout cap, a drained stderr tail, stdin write errors kept separate from spawn errors, resolution on the child's exit rather than on the last pipe closing, and a refusal on Windows.
+- **`lockBudgetMs`** on `writeReceipt` and `writeOutcome` in `lib/egress-receipt.ts`, so a caller on a deadline can bound the ledger lock wait (default unchanged at 2.5 seconds), and a **spawn timeout parameter** on `repoPolicyTier` in `lib/gbrain-repo-policy-client.ts`.
+- **`docs/memorable-workflow-memory.md`**: what you get, the two consents (gstack's and Memorable's, neither implies the other), what gstack hands over and what it can attest, what gstack tests and what is the vendor's claim, turning it on and off, and a troubleshooting runbook. A README row, a Docs-table row and a privacy pointer link to it.
+
+#### Changed
+
+- **`gstack-settings-hook remove-source` removes by identity as well as by tag.** Claude Code strips gstack's `_gstack_source` tag when it rewrites `settings.json`; the off switch for every gstack hook used to no-op on exactly those entries. Items the hook table identifies as the requested source are removed whether or not the entry is tagged, other sources' items are never touched, and entries with nothing of the source's stay byte-identical.
+- **`./setup --no-team` keeps the opt-in Memorable hook** when it sweeps stray gstack hooks, alongside the verify gate.
+- **`gstack-uninstall` removes the Memorable hook by name**, sets `memorable_recall` off wherever gstack's config lives (kept state or not, hook manager present or not, and a failed revocation is named), and says that Memorable's own consent is unchanged (`memorable disable`, `memorable forget`).
+- **Redaction findings locate their line and column by binary search** over a per-scan line index, so scan time is linear in the input for every caller of `lib/redact-engine.ts`.
+
+#### For contributors
+
+- New test files: `test/gstack-memorable.test.ts`, `test/memorable-user-prompt-hook.test.ts` (a fake vendor written in sh; the hook's stdin bytes are compared byte for byte with what the vendor received), `test/gstack-config-memorable-key.test.ts`. Extended: `test/gstack-settings-hook-schema-aware.test.ts` (identity removal pinned for every source in the hook table), `test/egress-receipt.test.ts`, `test/egress-receipt-wiring.test.ts` (the `hosts/` tree is now swept for unreceipted sinks), `test/uninstall.test.ts`, `test/gbrain-repo-policy-client.test.ts`, `test/redact-engine.test.ts`, `test/verify-gate.test.ts`, `test/setup-hook-canonical-paths.test.ts`, `test/hooks-windows-paths.test.ts`, `test/gstack-egress-cli.test.ts`.

 | `gstack-code-intelligence` | **Code-intelligence provider picker** — wraps GBrain, Sourcebot, and Graphify behind one interface: `options`/`status` to see what's available, `select` to pick one, `index`/`search` to use it, `suggest` to check whether the one-time indexing offer should fire here. The offer triggers on large repos (1,000+ tracked files; a decline is persisted). Non-local providers refuse to index *or search* until you record per-repo consent (`consent <repo> yes\|no` — the query text is repo-derived content), the per-repo trust policy's deny and read-only tiers veto write-class operations regardless of consent, and every off-machine send writes an egress receipt. Fully optional — with nothing selected, gstack falls back to grep. |
 | `gstack-verify-gate` | **Verification stop hook (opt-in)** — blocks a Claude Code turn from ending until the project's declared verify command passes (after 3 blocked re-entries it yields with a loud still-RED warning instead of looping forever). Declare it on one line in CLAUDE.md: `<!-- gstack:verify: bun test -->`. Hooks bypass the permission system, so a declared command never runs until you trust it once per repo (`gstack-verify-gate --trust`); editing the command invalidates trust until re-granted, and every grant is audit-logged. `./setup` never registers it for you — opt in with `gstack-settings-hook add-event --event Stop --command ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-verify-gate --source verify-gate`, remove with `gstack-settings-hook remove-source --source verify-gate`. |
+| `gstack-memorable` | **Memorable recall bridge (opt-in, third party, Claude Code only)** — connects Claude Code to the external [Memorable](https://memorable.sh) CLI *through gstack* instead of the vendor's own installer, so the hook gets gstack's guarantees: an explicit consent key (`memorable_recall`, off by default, listed by `gstack-egress grants`), a fail-closed egress receipt for every prompt handed over (`gstack-egress list --sink memorable-recall`), a HIGH-tier secret pre-scan, a trust envelope and 8 KiB cap on whatever comes back, an allowlisted environment and process-group containment for the vendor process, and clean removal. `enable` registers the hook at the stable install with a 5 s timeout and never runs the vendor's own consent command; `disable` revokes the gate first and removes the entry by identity even after Claude Code strips the tag; `status` is read-only. gstack never installs Memorable, and what its binary sends is the vendor's claim, not gstack's. Not available on Windows yet. [Full guide](docs/memorable-workflow-memory.md). |
 | `gstack-wtree` | **Working-tree fingerprint** — prints a content hash of what's actually on disk (temp index seeded from the stat cache, ~40x cheaper than a full re-hash; untracked source counts, gitignored scratch doesn't). Identical content fingerprints identically through commits, rebases, amends, and squashes — it's what binds reviews and test evidence to content instead of commit SHAs. |
 | `gstack-evidence` | **Verification-evidence ledger** — `run --label <lane> -- <cmd>` transparently wraps any test command (the child's exit code always passes through) and records what ran against which working-tree fingerprint; `check` grades each label FRESH/STALE/MISSING with `--expect-cmd`, `--max-age`, and `--allow-paths` binding. /ship and /land-and-deploy cite fresh evidence instead of re-running suites. Per-run logs are 0600, capped at 2MB, pruned after 30 days; the ledger and logs stay machine-local by design. |
 | `gstack-issue-guard` | **Tracker-text trust envelope** — fetches GitHub issue/PR text (`issue <n>`, `pr-body`, `pr-comments`, or `--stdin`) and wraps it in a labeled envelope so agents treat it as data: injection-shaped lines get labeled even through fullwidth and invisible-character evasion, and forged envelope banners are defused.

+## Memorable bridge follow-ups (filed via /plan-ceo-review + /plan-eng-review on the Memorable bridge fix-up, #2831)
+
+### P3: gstack-mediated third-party hook seam
+
+**What:** Generalize what the Memorable bridge instantiates: a `mediate <name>`
+verb (or provider table) that gives ANY third-party Claude Code hook a consent
+key, a receipt sink, an envelope, healing and clean removal, with Memorable as
+the first provider.
+
+**Why:** The bridge fixes the interface (config key, sink name, source tag,
+hook basename, gate, envelope). A second vendor today would copy
+`bin/gstack-memorable` and the hook `.ts`; the seam makes it a registration.
+
+**Context:** Deliberately not built with one provider (premature abstraction;
+CEO review D1/ED17). Start from `bin/gstack-memorable`,
+`hosts/claude/hooks/memorable-user-prompt-hook.ts`, and the `KNOWN_HOOKS`
+row shape.
+
+**Effort:** L (human ~1.5 weeks / CC+gstack ~4 h). **Priority:** P3.
+**Depends on:** a second third-party hook actually wanting in.
+
+### P2: Windows support for the Memorable bridge (D21)
+
+**What:** `enable` refuses on Windows and the hook exits 0 there. Bring it up:
+descendant termination (`taskkill /T` or a job object) so a vendor process
+cannot outlive a timeout, `.cmd` and extensionless shim handling for the
+vendor path, the `bash ` command prefix setup uses for registrations, and a
+live verification on the windows lane with a real `npm i -g memorable-cli`.
+
+**Why:** Without process groups the containment guarantee the bridge makes
+cannot be given; refusing was the honest choice for this wave.
+
+**Context:** `runExternal` in `hosts/claude/hooks/spawn-bin.ts` returns
+`EPLATFORM` on win32; the behavioural tests are auto-excluded from the
+windows lane because they spawn `bin/` scripts.
+
+**Effort:** M (human ~2 days / CC+gstack ~1 h). **Priority:** P2.
+**Depends on:** none.
+
+### P3: `lib/tracker-guard.ts` envelope `kind` parameter
+
+**What:** The envelope wraps recall text with the TRACKER banner. Add a
+`kind` so third-party hook content reads as what it is, keeping the pinned
+banner constants intact for tracker callers.
+
+**Effort:** S (human ~2 h / CC+gstack ~10 min). **Priority:** P3.
+**Depends on:** none.
+
+### P3: vendor payload-minimization contract
+
+**What:** Ask Memorable which `UserPromptSubmit` fields `hook user-prompt`
+actually reads, so the bridge can forward fewer (drop `transcript_path` if
+unused). Today it forwards the full JSON because the vendor parses Claude
+Code's documented schema and its EULA forbids finding out otherwise.
+
+**Effort:** S. **Priority:** P3. **Depends on:** vendor response.
+
+### P3: recall latency measurement and timeout revisit
+
+**What:** After a month of use, read `gstack_ms=` and `timeout` outcomes from
+`gstack-egress list --sink memorable-recall` and revisit the 4.5 s ceiling and
+the `--timeout 5` registration.
+
+**Effort:** S. **Priority:** P3. **Depends on:** the bridge in use.
+
+### P3: consolidate the vendor resolvers and extract the canonical-root helper (D24)
+
+**What:** The vendor CLI is resolved twice (bash in `bin/gstack-memorable`, TS
+in the hook); the canonical-root and `IS_WINDOWS` logic is copied from
+`setup` (marked `TODO D24` at each copy). Extract a sourced
+`gstack-canonical-root.sh` used by `setup`, `bin/gstack-memorable` and
+`bin/gstack-relink`, and one resolver for the vendor.
+
+**Context:** `setup`'s text is pinned by `test/setup-hook-canonical-paths.test.ts`;
+the extraction must move those pins with it.
+
+**Effort:** S. **Priority:** P3. **Depends on:** settling the pinned-text tests.
+
+### P3: non-interactive MEDIUM-tier redaction policy for hooks
+
+**What:** The hook refuses HIGH-tier findings only; MEDIUM needs a
+confirmation no hook can ask for. Decide a policy (skip-and-log vs pass) so
+hooks can honor more than HIGH.
+
+**Effort:** S. **Priority:** P3. **Depends on:** none.
+
+### P3: adopt `list-items` at setup's plan-tune "already installed" check
+
+**What:** `setup:2525` decides with `list-sources | grep plan-tune-cathedral`,
+which is tag-only and misses tag-stripped live hooks. `gstack-settings-hook
+list-items --event PostToolUse --owned-by plan-tune-cathedral` is the
+identity-based answer.
+
+**Effort:** S. **Priority:** P3. **Depends on:** none.
+
+### P3: one state-root rule for the bridge's four stores
+
+**What:** The hook, `bin/gstack-config` and `bin/gstack-memorable` resolve
+their root as `GSTACK_STATE_ROOT` > `GSTACK_HOME` > `GSTACK_STATE_DIR`; the
+egress ledger (`lib/egress-receipt.ts`) honors `GSTACK_HOME` >
+`GSTACK_STATE_DIR`; the trust-policy store (`lib/gbrain-repo-policy-client.ts`)
+only `GSTACK_HOME`; `bin/gstack-uninstall` deletes only
+`${GSTACK_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.gstack}`. Extract one shared rule (a
+`lib/state-root.ts` plus its bash twin) and use it everywhere.
+
+**Why:** With `GSTACK_STATE_ROOT` set, the gate lives under one directory and
+the receipts under another; the tests pin all three variables to one temp dir,
+so the drift is invisible to them. Found by the /ship red team.
+
+**Context:** Uninstall already flips `memorable_recall` off whenever it reads
+`on`, kept state or not (through gstack-config's own resolution), so no config
+can say `on` after the hook is gone; the remaining drift is observability, not
+consent.
+
+**Effort:** S (human ~3 h / CC+gstack ~20 min). **Priority:** P3.
+**Depends on:** none.
+
+### P3: shared hook logging helper
+
+**What:** `stateRoot()` and the `hook-errors.log` appender now exist in five
+hooks (`question-log`, `question-preference`, `auq-error-fallback`,
+`timeline-stop`, `memorable-user-prompt`), with drifting env-var precedence.
+Extract `hosts/claude/hooks/hook-log.ts` (root resolution, 0600 append, the
+rate limiter the memorable hook added) and migrate the five.
+
+**Why:** One place to fix precedence and file modes; the memorable hook's
+rate limiter belongs to every hook that can fail on every prompt.
+
+**Effort:** S (human ~2 h / CC+gstack ~15 min). **Priority:** P3.
+**Depends on:** the state-root rule above.

+#           (identity)          GSTACK by identity
+#   VENDOR-OWN: `memorable install-hooks` registered its own hook. enable
+#               refuses (two entries would run the hook twice per prompt).
+#   Mismatches are reported by `status`, never silently repaired:
+#     gate on  + NONE   -> "gate on, no hook"      (enable to fix)
+#     gate off + GSTACK -> "hook is inert"          (disable removes it)
+#
+# What each verb hands to the vendor binary: nothing. enable/disable/status

+#
+# Style: `set -uo pipefail` WITHOUT -e (like bin/gstack-verify-gate). Every

+# Workflow memory with Memorable (optional, third party)
+
+The third time you ask Claude Code to do the same shape of work, it starts
+from nothing again. It re-reads the same files, re-runs the same searches, and
+arrives at the fix it already wrote last month. **Memorable** is a third-party
+CLI that records how a task was done and hands that back the next time you ask
+for something close to it.
+
+gstack does not install it, bundle it, or depend on it. What gstack adds is a
+**bridge**: Memorable's `UserPromptSubmit` hook registered through gstack's own
+hook manager, wrapped in the guarantees gstack gives every other off-machine
+sink. It is off until you turn it on, Claude Code is the only host it works
+with, and it is not available on Windows yet.
+
+## What you get
+
+- Before each prompt, the hook asks Memorable whether a past session already
+  solved something close to this and, if so, injects that procedure as
+  clearly labelled reference data.
+- An explicit gstack-side consent key, `memorable_recall`, off by default and
+  listed by `gstack-egress grants` with its revoke command.
+- A receipt for every prompt handed to the vendor binary, before the hand-off
+  (`gstack-egress list --sink memorable-recall`). No receipt, no hand-off.
+- A HIGH-tier secret pre-scan: a prompt carrying a live-shaped credential is
+  never handed over.
+- A trust envelope and an 8 KiB cap on whatever comes back, and the vendor can
+  never block a prompt or speak as gstack.
+- The vendor runs in an allowlisted environment (no API keys from your
+  session) inside its own process group, and that whole group is killed when
+  the hook finishes, times out, or is terminated by Claude Code mid-flight.
+  A process the vendor deliberately detaches into its own session (`setsid`)
+  is outside that group and outside this guarantee; that is a choice visible
+  in the vendor's own behaviour, not something gstack can prevent.
+- Registration at the stable install, healing on every `./setup`, survival of
+  `./setup --no-team`, removal by `gstack-uninstall`, and an off switch that
+  works even after Claude Code has rewritten `settings.json`.
+
+## What this is not
+
+- Not deterministic replay. It is recalled guidance the model may ignore.
+- Not related to Aside or to browser automation.
+- Not a gstack feature with gstack's guarantees past the process boundary.
+  Everything the `memorable` binary does after gstack hands it a prompt belongs
+  to a closed-source npm package from another vendor.
+
+## Two consents, neither implies the other
+
+| Consent | Who sets it | What it controls |
+|---|---|---|
+| `memorable_recall` (gstack) | `gstack-memorable enable` / `disable` | whether gstack's hook hands prompts to the vendor binary at all |
+| Memorable's own consent | `memorable enable` / `disable` / `forget`, run by you | whether Memorable stores procedures and, per its docs, sends session traces to its extraction API |
+
+gstack never runs the vendor's consent commands and never reads their state.
+`gstack-memorable enable` prints them so you can run or inspect them yourself.
+Turning the bridge off turns off gstack's hand-off; it does not change what
+Memorable is allowed to do with what it already has.
+
+## What gstack hands over, and what it can attest
+
+| Command | What gstack hands to the vendor binary |
+|---|---|
+| `gstack-memorable status`, `enable`, `disable` | Nothing. They check that the binary exists; they never execute it. |
+| the hook, on every prompt (gate on) | Claude Code's `UserPromptSubmit` JSON: `session_id`, `cwd`, `transcript_path`, `prompt`. The binary runs with your privileges, so it can read anything you can, including the transcript that path names. |
+
+The receipt attests exactly those bytes (count and sha256) and names the
+recipient gstack actually ran: `local:<path to the memorable executable>`. It
+does not and cannot attest the vendor's network activity. Memorable's
+documentation states that recall embeds a scrubbed task line through its API
+only when the local lexical match misses, and that capture uploads tool names,
+allowlisted argument fields and a 200-character task line. Those are the
+vendor's claims. The bridge is tested against memorable-cli 0.5.18's hook
+contract; other versions are the vendor's compatibility claim.
+
+The binary's environment is an allowlist, not your session's: `PATH`, `HOME`,
+user and shell names, locale (`LANG`, `LC_*`), temp directories, the standard
+proxy and TLS variables (`HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `NO_PROXY`,
+`SSL_CERT_FILE`, `SSL_CERT_DIR`, `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`), the `XDG_*`
+directories, and every `MEMORABLE*` variable. No `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, no
+`GSTACK_*`, no `CLAUDE_*` reaches it. Its stderr is kept out of
+`hook-errors.log` whenever the redaction engine finds a HIGH- or MEDIUM-tier
+shape in it (a credential, an email, a phone number), so a vendor that echoes
+its input on an error cannot copy your prompt into a log. The receipt's
+`payload_class` is the token `claude-user-prompt-json->local-vendor-cli`: the
+prompt JSON, handed to the local vendor executable; the network destination is
+unknown to gstack (Memorable states: its embed API, on a local recall miss).
+
+The hook skips the hand-off silently (nothing was refused, so nothing is
+logged) when the gate is off or `MEMORABLE=0` is set.
+
+It refuses the hand-off, with one rate-limited line in
+`~/.gstack/hook-errors.log`, when:
+
+- the vendor binary is missing;
+- the prompt carries a HIGH-tier credential shape (checked on the raw bytes
+  and on the decoded string values, so a JSON-escaped key does not slip by),
+  or is larger than 1 MiB;
+- the repo's per-remote trust policy is `deny` or `read-only` (judged by the
+  session's working directory, so a session that touches other repositories
+  is not covered), or that policy could not be looked up at all (git could
+  not read the repository, the store is unreadable): the lookup fails closed;
+- the receipt cannot be written, or the hook's 4.5 s budget cannot afford the
+  next step (the secret scan of a very large prompt, or the vendor spawn).
+
+A receipt whose outcome is missing means the host killed the hook or the clock
+ran out. Read it as unknown, never as success. An outcome of `output-written`
+means gstack wrote enveloped context on its stdout for Claude Code to inject;
+whether Claude used it is not something a hook can know.
+
+## What gstack tests, and what is Memorable's claim
+
+gstack tests the bridge in `test/gstack-memorable.test.ts`,
+`test/memorable-user-prompt-hook.test.ts` and
+`test/gstack-settings-hook-schema-aware.test.ts`, against a fake vendor: every
+refusal above, the receipt-before-hand-off order, the envelope and cap, the
+environment allowlist, the process-group kill, the identity-based removal
+after Claude Code strips the tag, the sweep exclusion, the uninstall arm, and
+the exit codes. Everything past the process boundary, what Memorable stores,
+where, what it sends, and what `memorable disable` and `memorable forget`
+erase, is Memorable's claim and not ours.
+
+## Turning it on (three steps, the middle one is yours)
+
+```bash
+npm i -g memorable-cli          # the CLI, from npm, not from gstack
+memorable login && memorable enable   # the vendor's account and the vendor's consent; only you can do these
+gstack-memorable enable         # gstack's gate + the hook, at the stable install
+```
+
+`enable` refuses, and changes nothing, when the vendor binary is missing, when
+Memorable already registered its own hook (see below), when the stable install
+does not carry this bridge (run `./setup` first), or when `settings.json`
+cannot be read. Claude Code picks up the new hook within a few seconds on
+current versions; if it does not fire, restart the session. Verify with:
+
+```bash
+gstack-memorable status

+
+## If Memorable already registered the hook
+
+`memorable install-hooks` and `memorable start` register the same
+`UserPromptSubmit` hook under Memorable's own name, outside gstack's table
+(`memorable enable` does not; only those two do). `enable` refuses in that case
+rather than adding a second entry: two entries run the hook twice on every
+prompt, injecting twice and capturing twice against your allowance.
+
+To hand it to gstack instead, delete that entry from `~/.claude/settings.json`
+and run `enable` again. Memorable has no command that removes its own hook.
+
+## Turning it off
+
+```bash
+gstack-memorable disable
+```
+
+The gate goes off first, so the very next prompt is off even before the entry
+is gone; a prompt already past the gate completes. Then gstack's entry is
+removed by identity (tag or no tag), both results are verified, and any
+partial failure is reported with a non-zero exit. Memorable's own consent and
+whatever it stored are untouched: `memorable disable` stops capture,
+`memorable forget` denies everything, and its own docs say what each erases.
+
+The entry also comes out with `gstack-uninstall` (named in its summary) and
+survives `./setup --no-team`, which only tears down team-mode hooks.
+
+## If you run gbrain
+
+Memorable can keep its procedures in your own gbrain database instead of its
+local store (`memorable init gbrain`, per its docs). That changes where the
+vendor stores things; it does not change anything about this bridge, which
+only ever hands prompts to the local `memorable` binary. gstack's `/setup-gbrain`
+and `/sync-gbrain` are unrelated to it.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **The hook never fires.** `gstack-memorable status` should show the gate
+  `on` and "registered by gstack". If it shows a mismatch line, follow it.
+  If everything looks right, restart Claude Code once. One known race: Claude
+  Code rewrites `settings.json` on its own schedule, and a rewrite that lands
+  during `enable` can drop the entry after gstack printed `registered`; the
+  hook manager is convergent, not exclusive, so `enable` again (it reports
+  `unchanged` or `registered`) and check `status`.
+- **Nothing is ever recalled.** The hand-offs are happening if
+  `gstack-egress list --sink memorable-recall` shows receipts with
+  `output-written` or `injected=no` outcomes. `injected=no` means the vendor
+  returned nothing: check `memorable status` and `memorable doctor` for
+  login, consent and stored procedures.
+- **Outcomes say `timeout`.** The vendor took longer than the budget allowed
+  (roughly 4 seconds after gstack's own work). That is usually network.
+- **`hook-errors.log` names a refusal.** `refused:redaction-high` means a
+  credential shape was in the prompt; `trust policy ... deny or read-only`
+  means the repo is protected; `receipt-unwritable` means
+  `~/.gstack/security` is not writable.
+- **`enable` says the stable install predates this bridge.** Run `./setup`
+  (or `/gstack-upgrade`) so the hook registered at `~/.claude/skills/gstack`
+  is the code that will run.
+
+## Under the hood, accurately
+
+`bin/gstack-memorable` is the front door. It resolves the vendor CLI from
+`GSTACK_MEMORABLE_BIN`, then `MEMORABLE_BIN`, then `~/.memorable/bin/memorable`,
+then `PATH`, and refuses with a message naming those when it finds none. It
+never executes the binary. It takes a lock for the duration of `enable` and
+`disable`, captures the prior state first, and on a failure restores that
+state rather than an assumed one.
+
+`hosts/claude/hooks/memorable-user-prompt-hook` is the registered command: a
+fail-open bash shim over `memorable-user-prompt-hook.ts`, which runs the
+pipeline described above and always exits 0.
+
+Registration goes through `gstack-settings-hook ensure-event` with a 5 s
+timeout, and the hook has a row in that file's `KNOWN_HOOKS` table, so it is
+identified by its command, never by a tag. Consequences:
+
+- `gstack-settings-hook list-items --event UserPromptSubmit --owned-by
+  gstack-memorable` shows it whether or not the tag survived;
+  `list-sources` shows only tagged entries, so it may not.
+- `prune-stale --repoint` (run by every `./setup`) heals a stale path.
+- `./setup --no-team` excludes it from its sweep; `gstack-uninstall` removes it.
+- `gstack-settings-hook rollback` is a whole-file restore of the last
+  mutation, not a per-hook undo.
+
+Windows: not yet. There is no process group to contain the vendor there, so
+`enable` refuses and the hook exits 0. Tracked in TODOS.md.

+/**
+ * memorable-user-prompt-hook — gstack-mediated bridge from Claude Code's
+ * UserPromptSubmit event to the third-party `memorable` CLI (memorable.sh).
+ *
+ * The vendor's own installer registers `memorable hook user-prompt` directly.
+ * Registering it THROUGH gstack instead buys the user what gstack gives every
+ * other off-machine sink: an explicit consent key, a receipt per attempted
+ * send, a secret pre-scan, a trust envelope around what comes back, healing
+ * and clean removal. This file is that mediation.
+ *
+ *   stdin JSON -> cap 1 MiB -> parse -> MEMORABLE=0? -> gate memorable_recall == on?
+ *      -> win32? -> trust policy (deny / read-only veto, by session cwd; fail-closed)
+ *      -> HIGH-tier secret scan (raw bytes AND decoded string leaves, each admitted by the clock)
+ *      -> resolve vendor -> budget >= 500 ms? -> gate re-check
+ *      -> receipt (fail-closed: no receipt, no send)
+ *      -> VENDOR SPAWN (own process group, allowlisted env, group-killed on timeout)
+ *      -> parse vendor JSON -> additionalContext only -> control-strip
+ *      -> 8 KiB cap (UTF-8 boundary) -> trust envelope -> stdout (awaited)
+ *      -> outcome (bounded by the same clock) -> exit 0
+ *   every REFUSAL above is: one rate-limited line in hook-errors.log, empty stdout, exit 0
+ *   (gate off, MEMORABLE=0, empty or non-object stdin are silent: nothing was refused).
+ *
+ * CONTRACT
+ *   - ALWAYS exits 0 with either one hookSpecificOutput JSON or nothing. The
+ *     vendor can never block a prompt or speak as gstack: only a string
+ *     `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext` is accepted from its output.
+ *   - One deadline clock (BUDGET_MS) undercuts Claude Code's 5 s hook kill;
+ *     every stage, the two ledger writes and the secret scans included, gets
+ *     min(cap, remaining). A receipt with no outcome means the host killed us
+ *     or the clock ran out (reported as `unknown`), never success.
+ *   - Fail-closed on the receipt: if the ledger cannot be written, recall is
+ *     skipped for that prompt. What the receipt attests is the bytes handed to
+ *     a LOCAL binary running with the user's privileges (host `local:<path>`);
+ *     what that binary sends is the vendor's claim.
+ *   - The vendor sees an allowlisted environment (PATH, HOME, locale, TMP,
+ *     the standard proxy/TLS/XDG variables, MEMORABLE*), never Claude Code's
+ *     full env (which can carry API keys).
+ *   - The vendor's stderr reaches hook-errors.log only when the redaction
+ *     engine finds no HIGH- or MEDIUM-tier shape in it (a CLI that echoes its
+ *     input on a parse error would otherwise copy the prompt into the log).
+ *     The log is chmod 0600 on every append (sibling hooks share the file).
+ *   - If the host terminates the hook mid-flight (SIGTERM/SIGINT/SIGHUP,
+ *     forwarded by the bash shim), the vendor's process group is killed on
+ *     the way out; the receipt then stands with outcome `unknown`.
+ *   - Windows is refused here (no process groups to contain the vendor);
+ *     bin/gstack-memorable enable refuses there too. TODOS.md: Windows support (D21).
+ *
+ * Pure helpers are exported for unit tests; main() runs only under import.meta.main.

+ * $HOME/calls.log, copies its stdin byte-for-byte to $HOME/stdin.bin, dumps
+ * its environment to $HOME/env.txt, then behaves per $HOME/mode:
+ *   ok (default)      print $HOME/out.json
+ *   sleep             sleep 10 (the hook must time out and group-kill it)
+ *   fork-sleep        `sh -c 'sleep 30.<nonce>'` without exec (a fork-style shim;
+ *                     the group kill must reach the grandchild; the nonce keeps
+ *                     the orphan check from seeing another shard's sleeper)
+ *   exit1             exit 1
+ *   flood             2 MiB on stdout (maxBuffer path)
+ *   stderr-noise      2 MiB on stderr, then out.json (stderr must be drained)
+ *   exit-before-read  exit 0 without reading stdin (EPIPE path)
+ *   print-before-read print out.json and exit 0 without reading stdin (EPIPE
+ *                     must stay advisory: the answer is delivered)
+ *   echo-stderr       copy the prompt to stderr, exit 1 (the log must withhold it)
+ *   bg-then-exit      start a background sleeper holding the pipes, print
+ *                     out.json, exit 0 (must resolve on exit, not on close)
+ *   bg-detached-exit  start a background sleeper with its stdio redirected,
