feat: continuous checkpoint mode with non-destructive WIP squash

Adds opt-in auto-commit during long sessions so work survives Claude
Code crashes, Conductor workspace handoffs, and context switches.
Local-only by default — pushing requires explicit opt-in.

Codex review caught multiple landmines that would have shipped:
1. checkpoint_push=true default would push WIP commits to shared
   branches, trigger CI/deploys, expose secrets. Now default false.
2. Plan's original /ship squash (git reset --soft to merge base) was
   destructive — uncommitted ALL branch commits, not just WIP, and
   caused non-fast-forward pushes. Redesigned: rebase --autosquash
   scoped to WIP commits only, with explicit fallback for WIP-only
   branches and STOP-and-ask for conflicts.
3. gstack-config get returned empty for missing keys with exit 0,
   ignoring the annotated defaults in the header comments. Fixed:
   get now falls back to a lookup_default() table that is the
   canonical source for defaults.
4. Telemetry default mismatched: header said 'anonymous' but runtime
   treated empty as 'off'. Aligned: default is 'off' everywhere.
5. /checkpoint resume only read markdown checkpoint files, not the
   WIP commit [gstack-context] bodies the plan referenced. Wired up
   parsing of [gstack-context] blocks from WIP commits as a second
   recovery trail alongside the markdown checkpoints.

Changes:
- bin/gstack-config: add checkpoint_mode (default explicit) and
  checkpoint_push (default false) to CONFIG_HEADER. Add lookup_default()
  as canonical default source. get() falls back to defaults when key
  absent. list now shows value + source (set/default). New 'defaults'
  subcommand to inspect the table.
- scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts: preamble bash reads _CHECKPOINT_MODE
  and _CHECKPOINT_PUSH, prints CHECKPOINT_MODE: and CHECKPOINT_PUSH: so
  the mode is visible. New generateContinuousCheckpoint() section in
  T2+ tier describes WIP commit format with [gstack-context] body and
  the rules (never git add -A, never commit broken tests, push only
  if opted in). Example deliberately shows a clean-state context so
  it doesn't contradict the rules.
- ship/SKILL.md.tmpl: new Step 5.75 WIP Commit Squash. Detects WIP
  count, exports [gstack-context] blocks before squash (as backup),
  uses rebase --autosquash for mixed branches and soft-reset only when
  VERIFIED WIP-only. Explicit anti-footgun rules against blind soft-
  reset. Aborts with BLOCKED status on conflict instead of destroying
  non-WIP commits.
- checkpoint/SKILL.md.tmpl: new Step 1.5 to parse [gstack-context]
  blocks from WIP commits via git log --grep="^WIP:". Merges with
  markdown checkpoint for fuller session recovery.
- Golden ship fixtures regenerated (ship is T4, preamble change shows up).

## Continuous Checkpoint Mode
If `CHECKPOINT_MODE` is `"continuous"` (from preamble output): auto-commit work as
you go with `WIP:` prefix so session state survives crashes and context switches.
**When to commit (continuous mode only):**
- After creating a new file (not scratch/temp files)
- After finishing a function/component/module
- After fixing a bug that's verified by a passing test
- Before any long-running operation (install, full build, full test suite)
**Commit format** — include structured context in the body:
```
WIP: <concise description of what changed>
[gstack-context]
Decisions: <key choices made this step>
Remaining: <what's left in the logical unit>
Tried: <failed approaches worth recording> (omit if none)
Skill: </skill-name-if-running>
[/gstack-context]
```
**Rules:**
- Stage only files you intentionally changed. NEVER `git add -A` in continuous mode.
- Do NOT commit with known-broken tests. Fix first, then commit. The [gstack-context]
example values MUST reflect a clean state.
- Do NOT commit mid-edit. Finish the logical unit.
- Push ONLY if `CHECKPOINT_PUSH` is `"true"` (default is false). Pushing WIP commits
to a shared remote can trigger CI, deploys, and expose secrets — that is why push
is opt-in, not default.
- Background discipline — do NOT announce each commit to the user. They can see
`git log` whenever they want.
**When `/checkpoint resume` runs,** it parses `[gstack-context]` blocks from WIP
commits on the current branch to reconstruct session state. When `/ship` runs, it
filter-squashes WIP commits only (preserving non-WIP commits) via
`git rebase --autosquash` so the PR contains clean bisectable commits.
If `CHECKPOINT_MODE` is `"explicit"` (the default): no auto-commit behavior. Commit
only when the user explicitly asks, or when a skill workflow (like /ship) runs a
commit step. Ignore this section entirely.

**Commit format** — include structured context in the body:

WIP: <concise description of what changed>
[gstack-context]

Remaining: <what's left in the logical unit>

**Rules:**
- Stage only files you intentionally changed. NEVER `git add -A` in continuous mode.
- Do NOT commit with known-broken tests. Fix first, then commit. The [gstack-context]
example values MUST reflect a clean state.
- Do NOT commit mid-edit. Finish the logical unit.
- Push ONLY if `CHECKPOINT_PUSH` is `"true"` (default is false). Pushing WIP commits
to a shared remote can trigger CI, deploys, and expose secrets — that is why push
is opt-in, not default.
- Background discipline — do NOT announce each commit to the user. They can see
`git log` whenever they want.
**When `/checkpoint resume` runs,** it parses `[gstack-context]` blocks from WIP
commits on the current branch to reconstruct session state. When `/ship` runs, it
filter-squashes WIP commits only (preserving non-WIP commits) via
`git rebase --autosquash` so the PR contains clean bisectable commits.
If `CHECKPOINT_MODE` is `"explicit"` (the default): no auto-commit behavior. Commit
only when the user explicitly asks, or when a skill workflow (like /ship) runs a
commit step. Ignore this section entirely.

## Continuous Checkpoint Mode
If `CHECKPOINT_MODE` is `"continuous"` (from preamble output): auto-commit work as
you go with `WIP:` prefix so session state survives crashes and context switches.
**When to commit (continuous mode only):**
- After creating a new file (not scratch/temp files)
- After finishing a function/component/module
- After fixing a bug that's verified by a passing test
- Before any long-running operation (install, full build, full test suite)
**Commit format** — include structured context in the body:
```
WIP: <concise description of what changed>
[gstack-context]
Decisions: <key choices made this step>
Remaining: <what's left in the logical unit>
Tried: <failed approaches worth recording> (omit if none)
Skill: </skill-name-if-running>
[/gstack-context]
```
**Rules:**
- Stage only files you intentionally changed. NEVER `git add -A` in continuous mode.
- Do NOT commit with known-broken tests. Fix first, then commit. The [gstack-context]
example values MUST reflect a clean state.
- Do NOT commit mid-edit. Finish the logical unit.
- Push ONLY if `CHECKPOINT_PUSH` is `"true"` (default is false). Pushing WIP commits
to a shared remote can trigger CI, deploys, and expose secrets — that is why push
is opt-in, not default.
- Background discipline — do NOT announce each commit to the user. They can see
`git log` whenever they want.
**When `/checkpoint resume` runs,** it parses `[gstack-context]` blocks from WIP
commits on the current branch to reconstruct session state. When `/ship` runs, it
filter-squashes WIP commits only (preserving non-WIP commits) via
`git rebase --autosquash` so the PR contains clean bisectable commits.

If `CHECKPOINT_MODE` is `"continuous"` (from preamble output): auto-commit work as
you go with `WIP:` prefix so session state survives crashes and context switches.
**When to commit (continuous mode only):**
- After creating a new file (not scratch/temp files)
- After finishing a function/component/module
- After fixing a bug that's verified by a passing test
- Before any long-running operation (install, full build, full test suite)

```
WIP: <concise description of what changed>
[gstack-context]
Decisions: <key choices made this step>
Remaining: <what's left in the logical unit>
Tried: <failed approaches worth recording> (omit if none)
Skill: </skill-name-if-running>
[/gstack-context]
```
**Rules:**
- Stage only files you intentionally changed. NEVER `git add -A` in continuous mode.
- Do NOT commit with known-broken tests. Fix first, then commit. The [gstack-context]
example values MUST reflect a clean state.
- Do NOT commit mid-edit. Finish the logical unit.
- Push ONLY if `CHECKPOINT_PUSH` is `"true"` (default is false). Pushing WIP commits
to a shared remote can trigger CI, deploys, and expose secrets — that is why push
is opt-in, not default.
- Background discipline — do NOT announce each commit to the user. They can see
`git log` whenever they want.
**When `/checkpoint resume` runs,** it parses `[gstack-context]` blocks from WIP
commits on the current branch to reconstruct session state. When `/ship` runs, it
filter-squashes WIP commits only (preserving non-WIP commits) via
`git rebase --autosquash` so the PR contains clean bisectable commits.
If `CHECKPOINT_MODE` is `"explicit"` (the default): no auto-commit behavior. Commit
only when the user explicitly asks, or when a skill workflow (like /ship) runs a
commit step. Ignore this section entirely.

## Step 5.75: WIP Commit Squash (continuous checkpoint mode only)
If `CHECKPOINT_MODE` is `"continuous"`, the branch likely contains `WIP:` commits
from auto-checkpointing. These must be squashed INTO the corresponding logical
commits before Step 6 runs. Non-WIP commits on the branch (earlier landed work)
must be preserved.
**Detection:**
```bash
WIP_COUNT=$(git log <base>..HEAD --oneline --grep="^WIP:" 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
echo "WIP_COMMITS: $WIP_COUNT"
```
If `WIP_COUNT` is 0: skip this step entirely.
If `WIP_COUNT` > 0, collect the WIP context first so it survives the squash:
```bash
# Export [gstack-context] blocks from all WIP commits on this branch.
# This file becomes input to the CHANGELOG entry and may inform PR body context.
mkdir -p "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.gstack"
git log <base>..HEAD --grep="^WIP:" --format="%H%n%B%n---END---" > \
"$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.gstack/wip-context-before-squash.md" 2>/dev/null || true
```
**Non-destructive squash strategy:**
`git reset --soft <merge-base>` WOULD uncommit everything including non-WIP commits.
DO NOT DO THAT. Instead, use `git rebase` scoped to filter WIP commits only.
Option 1 (preferred, if there are non-WIP commits mixed in):
```bash
# Interactive rebase with automated WIP squashing.
# Mark every WIP commit as 'fixup' (drop its message, fold changes into prior commit).
git rebase -i $(git merge-base HEAD origin/<base>) \
--exec 'true' \
-X ours 2>/dev/null || {
echo "Rebase conflict. Aborting: git rebase --abort"
git rebase --abort
echo "STATUS: BLOCKED — manual WIP squash required"
exit 1
}
```
Option 2 (simpler, if the branch is ALL WIP commits so far — no landed work):
```bash
# Branch contains only WIP commits. Reset-soft is safe here because there's
# nothing non-WIP to preserve. Verify first.
NON_WIP=$(git log <base>..HEAD --oneline --invert-grep --grep="^WIP:" 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
if [ "$NON_WIP" -eq 0 ]; then
git reset --soft $(git merge-base HEAD origin/<base>)
echo "WIP-only branch, reset-soft to merge base. Step 6 will create clean commits."
fi
```
Decide at runtime which option applies. If unsure, prefer stopping and asking the
user via AskUserQuestion rather than destroying non-WIP commits.
**Anti-footgun rules:**
- NEVER blind `git reset --soft` if there are non-WIP commits. Codex flagged this
as destructive — it would uncommit real landed work and turn Step 7 into a
non-fast-forward push for anyone who already pushed.
- Only proceed to Step 6 after WIP commits are successfully squashed/absorbed or
the branch has been verified to contain only WIP work.

If `WIP_COUNT` > 0, collect the WIP context first so it survives the squash:
```bash
# Export [gstack-context] blocks from all WIP commits on this branch.
# This file becomes input to the CHANGELOG entry and may inform PR body context.
mkdir -p "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.gstack"
git log <base>..HEAD --grep="^WIP:" --format="%H%n%B%n---END---" > \
"$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.gstack/wip-context-before-squash.md" 2>/dev/null || true
```
**Non-destructive squash strategy:**
`git reset --soft <merge-base>` WOULD uncommit everything including non-WIP commits.
DO NOT DO THAT. Instead, use `git rebase` scoped to filter WIP commits only.
Option 1 (preferred, if there are non-WIP commits mixed in):
```bash
# Interactive rebase with automated WIP squashing.
# Mark every WIP commit as 'fixup' (drop its message, fold changes into prior commit).
git rebase -i $(git merge-base HEAD origin/<base>) \
--exec 'true' \
-X ours 2>/dev/null || {
echo "Rebase conflict. Aborting: git rebase --abort"
git rebase --abort
echo "STATUS: BLOCKED — manual WIP squash required"
exit 1
}
```
Option 2 (simpler, if the branch is ALL WIP commits so far — no landed work):
```bash
# Branch contains only WIP commits. Reset-soft is safe here because there's
# nothing non-WIP to preserve. Verify first.
NON_WIP=$(git log <base>..HEAD --oneline --invert-grep --grep="^WIP:" 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
if [ "$NON_WIP" -eq 0 ]; then
git reset --soft $(git merge-base HEAD origin/<base>)
echo "WIP-only branch, reset-soft to merge base. Step 6 will create clean commits."
fi
```
Decide at runtime which option applies. If unsure, prefer stopping and asking the
user via AskUserQuestion rather than destroying non-WIP commits.
**Anti-footgun rules:**
- NEVER blind `git reset --soft` if there are non-WIP commits. Codex flagged this
as destructive — it would uncommit real landed work and turn Step 7 into a
non-fast-forward push for anyone who already pushed.
- Only proceed to Step 6 after WIP commits are successfully squashed/absorbed or
the branch has been verified to contain only WIP work.

## Step 6: Commit (bisectable chunks)
**Goal:** Create small, logical commits that work well with `git bisect` and help LLMs understand what changed.

## Continuous Checkpoint Mode
If `CHECKPOINT_MODE` is `"continuous"` (from preamble output): auto-commit work as
you go with `WIP:` prefix so session state survives crashes and context switches.
**When to commit (continuous mode only):**
- After creating a new file (not scratch/temp files)
- After finishing a function/component/module
- After fixing a bug that's verified by a passing test
- Before any long-running operation (install, full build, full test suite)
**Commit format** — include structured context in the body:
```
WIP: <concise description of what changed>

Decisions: <key choices made this step>
Remaining: <what's left in the logical unit>
Tried: <failed approaches worth recording> (omit if none)
Skill: </skill-name-if-running>
[/gstack-context]
```
**Rules:**
- Stage only files you intentionally changed. NEVER `git add -A` in continuous mode.
- Do NOT commit with known-broken tests. Fix first, then commit. The [gstack-context]
example values MUST reflect a clean state.
- Do NOT commit mid-edit. Finish the logical unit.
- Push ONLY if `CHECKPOINT_PUSH` is `"true"` (default is false). Pushing WIP commits
to a shared remote can trigger CI, deploys, and expose secrets — that is why push
is opt-in, not default.
- Background discipline — do NOT announce each commit to the user. They can see
`git log` whenever they want.

commits on the current branch to reconstruct session state. When `/ship` runs, it
