Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 e76f65a8da v1.77.0.0 feat: test-infrastructure overhaul wave 1 — matrix deletion, flake telemetry, sync-spawn wedge class extinct (#2746)
* fix: pin the claude CLI to an exact version in the CI image + tripwire

The image installed @anthropic-ai/claude-code UNPINNED and rebuilt weekly
'to pick up CLI updates' — while bun sat carefully pinned at 1.3.13 two RUN
lines above. The PTY harness screen-scrapes this CLI's TUI, and that drift
broke it three separate times (welcome-screen wedge on 2.1.233, skillify
HOME discovery on 2.1.237, guard/freeze hooks on 2.1.162), each debugged as
a flake first. Pin 2.1.251 (current latest), bump deliberately via a PR
that runs the PTY gate, and enforce with test/ci-image-cli-pin.test.ts:
any global npm install in Dockerfile.ci without an exact @X.Y.Z pin fails
the free suite. The weekly ci-image cron stays as a cheap tag self-heal.

* feat: stamp the claude CLI version into every eval-store run record

Three harness breakages were traced to claude-CLI TUI drift only after long
flake hunts, because no run record said which CLI it actually exercised.
EvalCollector now stamps claude_cli_version (claude --version, cached once
per process, 'unknown' when the binary is absent) into both partial and
finalized records — schema-additive optional field, no SCHEMA_VERSION bump.
Correlating a flake wave with a CLI release becomes a grep over
~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/evals/ instead of archaeology.

* fix: give the spinning-shard kill test load headroom (30s -> 90s)

The test spawns and group-kills three real children (one a busy-loop
burning a full core) while five sibling shard processes compete for eight
vCPUs. Under full-suite load it blew bun's default 30s per-test ceiling at
30,009ms — while passing in isolation in 1.4s — and red the only required
lane. Every assertion in it is event-based (statuses, group-kill proof,
heartbeat lines); the sole latency claim is the <30s kill-deadline sanity
bound, which stays. Explicit 90s headroom, not a weakened oracle.

* feat: green-by-skip census — skip counts in the classifier, all-skipped labeling in the paid runner

bun's 'Ran N tests' line COUNTS skipped tests, so a codex/gemini shard
whose every test self-skipped (binary absent on the runner — true of every
CI runner today) exits 0, dodges the hollow-shard guard, and reads as
coverage in the weekly census. The classifier now parses bun's ' N skip' /
' N pass' recap lines; ShardOutcome carries skippedTests; formatSummary and
the fail-closed slices report label an all-skipped pass explicitly:
'all N tests SKIPPED — verified nothing'. Status stays 'passed' (external
service availability is host state, not a repo regression) but the census
can no longer mistake absence for coverage.

* refactor: extract composite actions for eval-lane setup; surviving lanes gain the fail-fast registry verification

'Fix bun temp' x3, 'Restore deps' x5, 'Seed claude interactive config' x3,
and 'Register gstack skills' x3 were byte-near-identical copies across the
legacy matrix, the sliced lane, and the periodic lane — and only the MATRIX
copy of register-skills carried the 19-line dangling-symlink + frontmatter
fail-fast loop written after a silent 'Unknown command' + 35-min-timeout
incident. Extract all four into .github/actions/ composites; the register
composite carries the verification loop (generalized over the skill list),
so the sliced and periodic lanes — the lanes that SURVIVE the matrix
deletion — now inherit the check they had silently dropped. Matrix-job
inline copies are left untouched: that job is deleted next.

* feat: delete the legacy 17-row eval matrix — the sliced lane is the only paid lane

Every PR paid twice: the hand-enumerated matrix (18 test files, 22.6 min,
~$21 API measured on run 33263204465) ran serialized AHEAD of the strictly
superior sliced lane via 'needs: evals' — 35.5 min wall and ~2x paid spend
for the same diff. 14 of 17 rows carried no tier:, so periodic Opus
benchmarks leaked into every PR (the e2e-plan row alone: 12/12 tests,
21.7 min, $7.28 — the wall-clock bound of ALL of CI).

Parity receipt (static, pre-deletion): the sliced lane's gate census (49
files, derived from the runner itself) strictly contains all 18 matrix test
files, plus 31 files the matrix never ran. Pure deletion — one revert
restores it. The PR comment moved into slices-report (same '## E2E Evals'
upsert marker, now sourced from slice artifacts + carrying the fail-closed
reconciliation verdict). plan-slices loses the needs edge; the dead
workflow-level EVALS_TIER env goes with it.

test/evals-workflow-matrix.test.ts (and its KNOWN_MATRIX_GAPS /
KNOWN_TIER_UNSET burn-down ratchets — retired: the sliced census makes
'every gate file runs' true by construction) is rewritten as
test/evals-workflow-wiring.test.ts: matrix stays deleted, planner/executor/
report tier + slice-count agreement, both surviving lanes on the shared
register-skills composite with its fail-fast verification loop, PR comment
survival. Expected: PR eval wall 35.5 -> ~13 min, per-PR paid spend ~halved.

* fix: provider-runner timeouts kill the whole process GROUP; codex/gemini inherit the orphan-drain hardening

All three provider runners (claude/codex/gemini) killed only the direct
child on timeout: tool subprocesses the CLI spawned survived as orphans
holding our pipes open and burning shared API rate (observed: a 600s
timeout stretching past 1400s; a stalled run once burned a core for 15
hours). gstack-detach's watchdog had the same shape one level up — killpg
SIGTERM, 5s grace, then a direct-child proc.kill() that orphaned
grandchildren.

Fix: spawn provider children via node:child_process with detached (own
process group) and killProcessGroup(SIGKILL) in the timeout handler —
runShardChild's proven pattern, EPERM/ESRCH fallbacks included. The codex
and gemini copies also gain the reader.cancel() + stderr Promise.race
hardening only the claude copy had (they still carried the blocked-drain
hang it fixed). gstack-detach's watchdog now group-SIGKILLs after the
grace.

Regression net: test/session-runner-groupkill.test.ts drives the REAL
runSkillTest against a fake claude shim (PATH override) that spawns a
grandchild and wedges — the run must classify timeout within budget and
leave neither shim nor grandchild alive — plus source pins on all three
runners (detached + killProcessGroup, no bare timeout kill, no Bun.spawn
reversion).

* fix: skill-e2e-opus-47 renders SKILL.md fixtures into a mkdtemp — never the live tree

mkEvalRoot ran gen-skill-docs with cwd=ROOT, regenerating every in-repo
SKILL.md mid-run while concurrent paid shards copyFileSync those same files
in their beforeAll (EVALS_JOBS>=4 locally, 2 per CI slice) — a sibling
could capture a half-regenerated or opus-rendered SKILL.md, and a timeout
before afterAll stranded the whole tree at the wrong model for every later
shard. A cross-shard race that could flake ANY concurrent paid test.

Render via the --out-dir flag gen-skill-docs grew for exactly this reason
(mirrors the repo layout, which is all the fixture reads), read the skill
heads from the render dir, delete it, and drop the afterAll restore-regen
entirely.

* fix: claude CLI version resolves in the runner parent, never on a test thread

Eng-review finding: getClaudeCliVersion's fallback is a SYNCHRONOUS
spawnSync on the same thread that polls concurrent PTY/session tests — the
judgePtyState blocking class this overhaul kills elsewhere. The paid runner
parent now resolves it once (cached) and stamps GSTACK_CLAUDE_CLI_VERSION
into every shard's env; eval-store short-circuits on the env var, and the
fallback spawn's budget tightens 10s -> 3s (bounded one-time stall, records
'unknown' on a slow CLI).

* test: wire skippedTests end-to-end through runPaidShard

The census unit tests hand-built outcomes and the classifier tests parsed
strings; nothing proved a real child's ' N skip' recap flows into
outcome.skippedTests and the formatSummary label. A commandFor fake now
prints the recap shape and the test asserts the parsed counts, the
all-skipped predicate, and the 'verified nothing' label.

* fix: make the setup composites rerun-safe (codex diff-review hardenings)

restore-deps: 'cp -r SRC node_modules' with an existing node_modules NESTS
the copy and leaves stale deps active — rm first. register-gstack-skills:
'ln -snf' hard-errors under set -eu when a REAL directory occupies the
gstack slot — clear a non-symlink leftover first. CI workspaces are fresh
today; a reusable composite must survive dirty reruns.

* fix: sweep — every sync spawn in the test trees carries a timeout (436 sites, 157 files)

spawnSync/execSync/Bun.spawnSync BLOCK the main thread, so bun's in-process
per-test timeout can never fire while one waits — a hung child (stdin read,
network probe, dead daemon) wedges the whole shard until the runner's
external wall-clock SIGKILL. This exact class reached main: free-tests run
33262077256, test/gstack-memory-ingest.test.ts (normally 2.3s) held shard 2
at the 360s wall while its five siblings finished in ~65s.

Mechanical sweep in two waves (12 + 4 fan-out agents, every edit verified
against its call site): default timeout: 30_000 (matches the free runner's
per-test budget), 120_000 for genuinely slow ops (installs, builds,
playwright, provider CLIs), helper wrappers fixed ONCE where call sites
route through them. Sites that only LOOK like calls (string fixtures, grep
needles, comments) were skipped with reasons — the enforcement commit that
follows marks them exempt.

* test: sync-spawn timeout tripwire — the wedge class stays extinct

Free scanner over all test trees (test/, browse/test/, design/test/,
make-pdf/test/, ios-qa, browser-skills): every spawnSync/execSync/
Bun.spawnSync call site must carry a timeout within a 30-line options
window, or an explicit '// tripwire-exempt: <reason>' marker. Comment
lines are skipped; exemptions are counted and ratcheted shrink-only
(ceiling 6 = the 6 string-fixture/grep-needle sites where the pattern is
CONTENT, not a call — marked in this commit). A scan-sanity test pins that
the scanner still sees >100 real call sites so it can never rot to a
vacuous green. Companion to the 436-site sweep in the previous commit.

* feat: paid-lane flake telemetry — record-level attempts, flaky_retries, report surfacing

bun --retry leaves a retried pass INVISIBLE in its output: a fail-then-pass
prints the error detail but no (fail) result line and recaps as a clean
pass (probed live on 1.3.10). So attempts are recorded where they cannot
lie: EvalCollector.addTest stamps a 1-based attempt on same-name re-records
(a retried test runs its body again and re-records), finalized runs carry
flaky_retries, printSummary warns loudly, and the fail-closed slices report
lists every passed-only-on-retry test — recorded and ranked, never blocking
and never silent. Cross-model confirmed (codex reached the same don't-parse
-the-stream conclusion independently).

* feat: free-lane flake ledger — retry ON in CI, flaky-passes recorded and uploaded

The runner's attribution-gated flaky-retry pass (cap 5, truncation veto)
was OFF in the required lane and its FLAKY-PASS evidence was console-only —
so a single timing flake red the merge gate while repeat offenders stayed
unenumerable. free-tests.yml now sets GSTACK_FREE_RETRY_FLAKY=1 and points
GSTACK_FLAKE_LEDGER at runner.temp; every flaky-pass appends a JSONL entry
(SINGLE writer: the parent runner — no concurrent-append hazard by
construction; fail-open with a loud warning so a broken ledger can never
red the lane) and the artifact uploads UNCONDITIONALLY — a flaky-pass run
is green, which is exactly when the evidence matters. Wiring pinned by
free-tests-workflow-wiring; ledger behavior unit-tested incl. the fail-open
path. Matches 2026 industry practice (retry for data, quarantine out of
merge-blocking but never out of logging) with the repo's own receipts.

* feat: eval:flake-rank — the flake-telemetry dial

Aggregates per-test series across every finalized eval-store run (shard
dirs included) plus the free flake ledger: runs, fails, RETRIED PASSES
(the flake signature), avg duration — ranked retries-first. This is the
readable dial behind two policies: a flaky pass never blocks a merge but
is always ranked here, and the WS16 required-check promotion needs weeks
of clean flake-rank, not vibes. --json for machines, --dir for downloaded
CI artifacts.

* feat: two-phase session timeout — silent APIs die at the startup grace, named

The single spawn-armed timer charged API queue latency to the work budget:
the recurring '0 turns / $0.00 / x3 attempts' failure with four budget-bump
receipts (180->300s, 240->360s, 300->420s, 90->300s). Split: startup phase
(no NDJSON byte yet) kills EARLY at min(grace, timeout) with the distinct
exitReason 'timeout_startup' — an availability verdict, not transcript
archaeology — and the work phase arms on the first byte for the REMAINING
budget, so total wall never exceeds the timeout (tier envelopes are
margin-free: tests pass timeout: CAPTURE_MS and bun-budget the same tier).
Local grace 90s (observed queue latency 60-90s), CI floor 300s (TODOS-filed;
shared runners queue harder), both pinned by the new grace tests with fake
-claude shims covering the late-first-byte and silent-API paths.

* fix: census integrity — 17 phantom selection keys deleted, reverse invariant added, gitignored dep patterns replaced, local map forks derived

The merge-blocking gate census counted tests that could not run. Deleted
(critic-verified against both quoted-occurrence and dep-registration
liveness): 7 *-prosons-format keys with no declaring test, ship-plan-
completion/-verification, review-plan-completion, design-shotgun-path/
session/full, autoplan-core (dead ~10 months), e2e-harness-audit (its
namesake is a FREE-suite file), plus 2 dead LLM-judge keys and 2 free-file
keys (budget-regression-pty, global-discover) misplaced in the PAID maps.
Census: 191 -> 174 keys, gate 86 -> 78 honest.

The new reverse invariant in touchfiles.test.ts makes the class structurally
impossible: every key must be quoted in a living paid test file OR
registered to an existing paid test file via its dep list (the constructed-
name binding the 2026-08 self-registration sweep established) — zero
exceptions needed today, with a live-file check on any future exception.

Also: '.agents/skills/**' dep patterns replaced with the generator
(scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts) — .agents/ is gitignored, so those patterns
could NEVER match a git diff and review-template edits silently stopped
selecting codex/gemini tests; the codex/gemini local touchfile maps are now
DERIVED from the canonical map (loud throw if a key vanishes) instead of
hand-forked copies that had already drifted. ios-qa-e2e demoted gate ->
periodic: its gate declaration was never executable in CI (hardware
exclusion only applies at tier=periodic), so every Linux PR planned a
hollow shard.

* fix: routing journeys lose their answer key and end at the routing decision

The journey tests exist to catch skill-DESCRIPTION regressions (touchfiles:
*/SKILL.md.tmpl), but the fixture CLAUDE.md shipped an explicit
prompt->skill lookup table — with the answer key in context, a badly
regressed frontmatter description still routed correctly, so the tests
could not fail on the exact class they select for. The fixture now carries
only the generic invoke-skills nudge; the frontmatter carries the routing
load. Also capped all 10 journeys at maxTurns 2 / tools [Skill, Read]:
only the FIRST Skill call is asserted, so 5 turns of Read/Bash/Glob/Grep
was pure spend — roughly halves each journey's cost.

* fix: retire decided A/B experiments; vendor the pre-cut fixture; ban raw-SHA fixtures

Three one-shot decision experiments kept re-running weekly as N=1
stochastic comparisons — flaky by construction with near-zero remaining
information: skill-e2e-auq-repetition-cut-ab (its own header: gate "passed
pre-landing, approved 2026-08-25"), skill-e2e-preamble-script-ab ("demoted
post-Phase-3"), and opus-47's fanout arm-vs-arm (parA >= parB across two
SINGLE stochastic runs — a coin flip). Deleted, with their selection keys;
the SDK overlay-harness stays as the maintained instrument for the next
experiment, and opus-47 keeps its routing-precision cases.

verboseSkill() now reads the VENDORED test/fixtures/auq-pre-cut-...-SKILL.md
instead of `git show ab66193e^:...` — a branch-local ref that dies on
branch prune and already failed on shallow clones. New free tripwire
(test/git-ref-fixture-tripwire.test.ts) bans the raw-SHA fixture class
outright: quoted SHA:path rev-specs and gitRef-style hex defaults in the
test trees fail the suite with the vendor-instead instruction.

* fix: demote plan-ceo-review-expansion-energy to periodic

Opus generator + a subjective 2-axis >=4/5 LLM-judge threshold sat in the
MERGE-BLOCKING gate — the exact class its sibling posture tests were
demoted for, with a receipt (a +21-line preamble change once flipped the
score). CLAUDE.md's own tiering rule: Opus model test -> periodic. The
weekly lane keeps the regression signal; merges stop paying a judge-
temperament tax.

* fix: paid shards get per-shard TMPDIR + CHROMIUM_PROFILE isolation and a kill-path cleanup backstop

The free runner treats this isolation as MANDATORY (two concurrent shards
on one Chromium profile kill each other's browser; shared tmp
cross-contaminates) — the paid lane had none of it. Doubly load-bearing
here: a shard that hits its 30-min wall is group-SIGKILLed, so per-test
afterAll cleanup never runs; the rmSync backstop is the only thing keeping
wedged runs from accumulating full git-repo workspaces in the shared
tmpdir forever. This is the DAG prerequisite for raising EVALS_JOBS (next
commit) — more concurrency on shared state amplifies exactly the
shared-tree race class opus-47 exhibited.

* feat: paid-runner defaults 4x4 -> 8x2 — halve the local gate worst case

39 of 75 skill-e2e files hold exactly ONE test, so within-shard
concurrency was dead weight for most shards: 4 jobs x 4 concurrency
yielded only ~4-6 real in-flight sessions and a 13-wave local gate worst
case (~6.5h). 8 jobs x 2 gives ~10-13 in-flight — under the
documented-safe ~15 — and ~7 waves (~3.3h worst case). CI lanes keep
their explicit EVALS_JOBS env (2 per slice; 4 for gate-census); this
changes local defaults. Rollback trigger: sustained 429 storms in the WS1
telemetry across 2 PR cycles. test/eval-detach-timeout-floor.test.ts
recomputed green (the raise LOWERS the worst-case floor).

* fix: SHA-pin every action in the secrets-bearing eval lanes

evals.yml and evals-periodic.yml execute PR-authored code with three
provider API keys in env, yet rode mutable action tags (@v7/@v8/@v2/@v4)
— while quality-gate.yml, osv-scanner.yml, and dependency-review.yml
already model the SHA-pin pattern. All 30 uses sites across both lanes now
pin the exact commit (tag noted in a trailing comment); dependabot's
github-actions ecosystem keeps them fresh via PRs instead of silent tag
moves. Pulled forward from the plan's endgame on the CEO-review + outside-
voice agreement: supply-chain pins on secret lanes go first, not last.

* fix: sweep wave 3 — the execFileSync family gets timeouts (90 sites, 17 files)

The tripwire's regex covered spawnSync/execSync/Bun.spawnSync but not
execFileSync — an entire blocking sync-spawn API family that could
reintroduce the shard-wedge class undetected (ship review army). Same
mechanical recipe as waves 1-2: timeout: 30_000 default, 120_000 for slow
ops, shared wrappers fixed once, string-needle sites skipped with reasons.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: review-army + adversarial test hardening

- Tripwire scans execFileSync too (ceiling 8: two more grep-needle string
  exemptions); merge-introduced timeout-less spawnSync in
  question-preference-hook fixed — the tripwire caught a site that landed
  on main AFTER the sweep, on its first day.
- gstack-detach gains TWO watchdog kill regression tests: TERM-immune
  grandchild (the killpg-after-grace escalation) and the leader-dies
  variant (the pgid-at-spawn fix — the case the first test cannot see).
- eval-flake-rank gets its unit suite (final-attempt accounting, artifact
  exclusion, shard recursion, recency bound).
- Groupkill/startup-grace shim markers are per-run unique (pid-suffixed
  sleep durations): sibling Conductor worktrees run free suites with no
  machine lock, and fixed markers let one run pgrep/pkill the other's
  shims — a cross-run flake inside the anti-flake tests.
- flake-ledger test pins the project-scoped local default; stale empty
  section headers in touchfiles-data deleted (they invited entries under
  deliberately retired categories).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: adversarial-review runtime fixes across the telemetry + kill paths

- session-runner: exit-labeling keys off 'exit', not 'close' — an orphan
  holding the pipes could relabel a REAL exit (auth failure) as
  'timeout_startup' availability noise; the kill path still always
  group-kills and cancels the reader (labeling and unblocking are separate
  concerns). Work phase arms on a flag, not firstResponseMs===0 (a same-ms
  first byte left the startup timer live all run). The CI startup grace is
  now a real FLOOR (Math.max), matching its name and pinning test.
- gstack-detach: pgid captured AT SPAWN (== child pid under
  start_new_session) — resolving it after the grace raised ESRCH once the
  leader died on SIGTERM, orphaning TERM-immune grandchildren forever.
- test-free-shards: ledger entries carry branch + git_sha (rev-parse split:
  '--abbrev-ref HEAD HEAD' printed the branch twice and recorded it as the
  sha); local ledger default is per-PROJECT, not the machine-global tmpdir.
- eval-flake-rank: per-LINE ledger parse (one torn JSONL line vanished the
  whole series), 60-day recency bound (transcript-bearing files are MBs),
  shared isFinalizedEvalResultFile predicate (the artifact-taxonomy rule
  lived in three places); eval-store exports the predicate and finalize
  stops computing flakyRetries twice; paid-shards cleanup uses async rm
  (a SIGKILLed shard's git-workspace teardown blocked every sibling's
  stream classification on the parent event loop).

* fix: CI trust-boundary + fail-closed repairs (adversarial findings)

- Token/exec separation restored: slices-report (runs PR-authored code:
  bun install + the reconcile runner) drops to contents:read; the PR
  comment moves to a NEW slices-comment job holding the write token with
  ZERO repo code — no checkout, no bun, only downloaded artifacts + jq/gh.
  $GITHUB_ENV/BASH_ENV persistence is job-scoped, so the split is the
  boundary. The matrix-era report job had this property; the consolidation
  had regressed it. Pinned by the wiring test.
- Reconcile exit captured via PIPESTATUS[0] in BOTH lanes: GitHub's default
  run-step shell has no pipefail, so `$?` after `| tee` was tee's exit —
  the fail-closed gate was silently fail-open. Wiring test pins it.
- PR comment: final-attempt accounting restored the dropped COST
  accumulation (the dial read $0 forever), flaky passes render as the
  warning they are (never as failures), and a malformed tests[] artifact
  skips that file instead of aborting the whole comment under bash -e.
- Remaining mutable action tags pinned (free-tests upload-artifact,
  ci-image checkout/docker trio — the image publisher holds packages:write
  and feeds the secret-bearing lanes). restore-deps fallback installs
  --frozen-lockfile; register-gstack-skills validates skill names before
  its rm -rf.

* fix: slices-comment creates the PR comment via REST — the write-token job has no git context

The token/exec split gives slices-comment NO checkout by design, and gh's
pr-comment subcommand resolves the repo FROM git — it died with 'not a git
repository' on PR #2746's first run (the update-existing PATCH path was
already explicit-repo REST and worked). Create now posts through
gh api repos/.../issues/N/comments, and the wiring test pins that no
git-context-requiring comment call can creep back into the job.

* fix: startup-grace probes clear CI for local semantics; new probe pins the floor clamp

The two shim probes pass explicit 2s/4s graces, but in CI the runner clamps
any explicit grace up to the 300s floor (deliberate adversarial-review fix),
so 'silent API killed at the grace' died at the 30s work cap instead of 2s —
a deterministic red on every CI run, green locally. The probes now pin LOCAL
semantics with CI cleared (same save/restore pattern as their PATH shim),
and a fourth probe pins the clamp itself: CI=1 + 2s grace + 6s timeout must
kill at the 6s cap, still in the startup phase — proof an explicit low grace
cannot bypass the floor.

+1 66f3a180d3 v1.43.2.0 fix wave: post-Daegu paper-cut — 18 fixes, 28 bisect commits (#1642)
* fix(gbrain-sync): --full produces an empty code index on first run of a new repo

`gbrain reindex-code` only RE-EMBEDS pages that already exist; it never walks
the filesystem. On a freshly-registered source (0 pages), a --full run that
called reindex-code alone found nothing ("No code pages to reindex"), finished
in ~1s, and left the code index permanently empty while still reporting OK.

Fix: --full now runs `sync --strategy code` FIRST to create pages via the file
walk, then runs `reindex-code` to honor the documented "full walk + reindex"
contract for both fresh and populated sources.

connected to the wrong database, and the classifier reported broken-db on
otherwise-healthy brains.

Fix: route the probe env through `buildGbrainEnv` from lib/gbrain-exec, the
same helper the sync orchestrator uses. DATABASE_URL is seeded from
~/.gbrain/config.json so the result is cwd-independent. The 60s cache can no
longer propagate a poisoned negative to clean directories.

* fix(retro): stale-base + bad-today-anchor pre-flight guard (#1624)

/retro silently produced confidently-wrong output when "today" drifted (model
session-context error) or when origin/<default> was materially behind the
actual remote — git log --since returned zero or near-zero commits and the
narrative was fabricated from nothing.

Adds Step 0.5 with four ordered pre-check branches before any window analysis:

  A. No 'origin' remote → skip with "base freshness not verified" note
  B. Detached HEAD → skip with "base freshness not verified" note
  C. `git fetch origin <default>` fails (offline) → warn, proceed against
     last-known origin/<default>
  D. Fetch succeeded → compare today vs latest origin/<default> commit; if
     gap > window-days, BLOCK with explicit citation of latest-commit date.

Skip paths still proceed to Step 1, but the disclosure is carried into the
retro narrative ("offline run, window not freshness-verified") so the output
is never silently confidently-wrong.

Atomic .tmpl + gen:skill-docs regen commit (T-Codex-3 pattern).

* test(retro): regression for #1624 stale-base pre-flight guard

13 static-invariant tests pinning the four ordered pre-check branches in
retro/SKILL.md.tmpl:Step 0.5:

  A. no-remote skip            — must check origin presence + set verdict
  B. detached-HEAD skip        — must gate behind prior verdict (ordering)
  C. fetch-fail warn           — must match `if !` or `||` shape, gate by verdict
  D. stale-base BLOCK          — must read latest-commit ISO date, cite remediation

Plus a disclosure-survives-to-narrative invariant: skip-path verdicts must be
named in prose so the retro output carries the cited reason rather than
silently misreporting.

Failing build if Step 0.5 is removed, branches re-ordered (no-remote no longer
wins), or the BLOCK message stops citing today/latest-commit/remediation
path.

* fix(gbrain-sync): configurable timeouts + resume from gbrain checkpoint (#1611)

The memory and code stages hardcoded a 35-min spawn timeout. On brains with
~2000+ staged files, /sync-gbrain --full reliably SIGTERM'd the child at
exactly 35 minutes with exit 143. gbrain left ~/.gbrain/import-checkpoint.json
pointing at the staging dir, but gstack-memory-ingest's SIGTERM handler
unconditionally cleaned the dir up — so the next run found a checkpoint
pointing at nothing and restaged from scratch, repeating the SIGTERM forever.

Three changes:

1. Configurable timeouts via env (bounds 60_000ms - 86_400_000ms, default
   2_100_000ms = 35min unchanged):
     GSTACK_SYNC_MEMORY_TIMEOUT_MS
     GSTACK_SYNC_CODE_TIMEOUT_MS
   Out-of-range or non-numeric values warn and fall back to the default.

2. SIGTERM in gstack-memory-ingest no longer always cleans up the staging
   dir. If gbrain has written ~/.gbrain/import-checkpoint.json pointing at
   the active staging dir, the dir is PRESERVED for next-run resume.
   Otherwise (no checkpoint pointing here, crash before gbrain ever
   touched it) it's cleaned up as before.

3. Next /sync-gbrain run detects gbrain's checkpoint via decideResume() in
   gstack-gbrain-sync.ts:
     - no checkpoint               → fresh ingest pass
     - checkpoint + staging ok     → set GSTACK_INGEST_RESUME_DIR; child
                                      reuses staging dir and skips
                                      writeStaged; gbrain import resumes
                                      from processedIndex+1
     - checkpoint + staging gone   → warn "previous checkpoint stale
                                      (staging dir gone), restaging from
                                      scratch" and proceed

Reuses gbrain's own checkpoint as the source of truth (D1 — no double-store
state). Detect-then-fallback semantics per C1.

* test(gbrain-sync): regression for #1611 timeouts + resume

19 tests across three surfaces:

  - resolveStageTimeoutMs (10 tests): undefined/empty → default; non-numeric,
    zero, negative, below-floor, above-ceiling → warn + default; at-floor,
    at-ceiling, valid mid-range → accepted as-is.

  - decideResume (6 tests): no checkpoint, corrupt JSON, checkpoint + staging
    ok, checkpoint + staging missing, checkpoint with no dir, checkpoint with
    empty dir.

  - SIGTERM staging preservation (3 static invariants): memory-ingest signal
    handler must check stagingDirIsCheckpointed BEFORE cleanup; preserve
    branch must come before cleanup branch (ordering); orchestrator must
    pass GSTACK_INGEST_RESUME_DIR to the grandchild on resume.

Also threads process.env.HOME through readGbrainCheckpoint and
stagingDirIsCheckpointed so tests can redirect home. os.homedir() caches
at process start and ignores later mutation, so the env override is the
only reliable test injection point.

Failing build if the timeout bounds are removed, the resume detection
short-circuits incorrectly, or the SIGTERM handler regresses to
unconditional cleanup.

* fix(review): pre-emit verification gate kills Django-shape FP class (#1539)

External user filed 4/8 false positives on a /review run against a Django +
DRF + PostgreSQL repo (Sprint 2.5). Every FP class was the same shape:
"resolvable in <5 minutes by viewing the actual code or running a simple
grep" — fields that don't exist on the model, dict.get()-might-be-None on a
form that returns {}-initialized cleaned_data, standard ORM save behavior
called out as data loss.

Extends the Confidence Calibration resolver (consumed by review, cso,
plan-eng-review, ship) with a Pre-emit verification gate:

  Every finding MUST quote the specific code line that motivates it
  (file:line + verbatim text). If the reviewer cannot produce the quote,
  the finding is unverified — its confidence is forced to 4-5 so the
  existing "Suppress from main report" rule fires automatically. The
  finding still goes to the appendix for calibration audit, but the user
  does not see it in the critical-pass output.

Reuses the existing suppression mechanism — no new code path. The FP
classes the gate kills are enumerated in the resolver text so reviewers
see the named patterns.

Framework-meta nudge included for Django Meta, Rails associations,
SQLAlchemy relationships, TypeORM decorators, Sequelize init, Prisma
generated client — the reviewer must quote the meta-construct that
generates the symbol, not just grep for the literal name. Deeper
framework-aware ORM verification (model introspection, migration-history-
aware checks) is deliberately deferred to a future wave per T-Codex-2.

Atomic .tmpl-equivalent (resolver) edit + gen:skill-docs regen commit
per T-Codex-3.

* test(review): regression for #1539 pre-emit verification gate

12 tests pinning the gate behavior:

  - Resolver emits the gate header + #1539 reference
  - Gate requires quoting file:line + verbatim text
  - Unverified findings forced to confidence 4-5 (auto-suppress via
    existing <7-rule, no new mechanism)
  - Framework-meta nudge names Django, Rails, SQLAlchemy, TypeORM,
    Sequelize, Prisma
  - Deferred design doc reference present (1539-framework-aware-review.md)
  - Four named FP classes from #1539 enumerated:
      * field doesn't exist on model
      * dict.get() might be None
      * save() might lose fields
      * update_fields might miss X
  - All four downstream SKILL.md consumers (review, cso, plan-eng-review,
    ship) carry the gate text after gen:skill-docs
  - Existing confidence 9-10 'Show normally' + 3-4 'Suppress' rows
    unchanged (regression on existing behavior)

Failing build if the gate is removed, the suppression mechanism is
re-invented separately, the framework-meta nudge drops a framework, or
gen:skill-docs stops propagating the gate to consumers.

* fix(config): expose explain_level default

* fix(benchmark): parse positional prompt after flags

* fix(artifacts): reject malformed remote paths

* fix(learnings): preserve current entries in cross-project search

* fix(setup): register root gstack slash alias

* fix(memory): probe gitleaks without shell builtin

* fix(gbrain-lib): pin LC_ALL=C in varname validator (macOS locale guard)

In many macOS shells the default locale (e.g. en_US.UTF-8) makes bash
glob brackets like `[A-Z]` match lowercase letters too, so the existing
`case "$name" in [A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*)` branch lets names like `lower-case`
through validation. The function then trips `printf -v "$varname"` and
`export "$varname"` with `not a valid identifier` errors that surface
mid-prompt, which is exactly what the validator was supposed to prevent.

Pinning `LC_ALL=C` inside the function gives ASCII-only bracket semantics
on both macOS and Linux, matching the documented `[A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*`
contract. Declared `local` so it doesn't leak to the calling shell —
`gstack-gbrain-lib.sh` is documented as a sourced helper, so a bare
assignment would mutate the caller's locale for the rest of the process
(silently affecting downstream `sort`, `tr`, locale-aware globs in the
same shell, etc.).

The existing regression test
`test/gbrain-lib-verify.test.ts:'rejects invalid var names'`
already covers the macOS repro shape (passes `lower-case` and expects
the validator to reject + emit `invalid var name`). On Linux CI the
test silently passed because `LC_ALL=C` is the typical default; on
macOS dev boxes it fails.

Verified:
- `bun test test/gbrain-lib-verify.test.ts`: 22 pass, 0 fail (on macOS).
- `_gstack_gbrain_validate_varname lower-case; echo $?` → 2.
- `_gstack_gbrain_validate_varname FOO_BAR; echo $?` → 0.
- Caller's LC_ALL preserved across calls (confirmed via sourced bash).

* fix(land-and-deploy): detect merged PR after gh failure

After `gh pr merge` exits non-zero, the PR may already be MERGED server-side
(concurrent merge landed, or local cleanup phase failed AFTER the merge
succeeded). Calling `gh pr merge` a second time then errors with a confusing
"already merged" — and worse, the deploy workflow never runs because we
stopped on the first failure.

Adds a Post-failure PR-state check (§4a-postfail) that runs after ANY
non-zero exit from `gh pr merge`:

  - state == MERGED  → record MERGE_PATH=direct, OFFER (don't force)
                       stale-worktree cleanup on the base branch with
                       uncommitted-work guard, proceed to §4a CI watch
  - state == OPEN    → check autoMergeRequest; if non-null treat as
                       merge-queue wait; if null surface both errors and STOP
  - state == CLOSED  → STOP

Hard invariant: never retry `gh pr merge` after a non-zero exit. Server
state is authoritative.

Re-authored from PR #1620 into land-and-deploy/SKILL.md.tmpl (the source of
truth) instead of the generated SKILL.md, so the next gen:skill-docs run
preserves the change. Original diff by @davidfoy via #1620.

* fix: detect PgBouncer transaction-mode pooler and set GBRAIN_PREPARE=true (#1435)

When gbrain connects through a PgBouncer transaction-mode pooler (port
6543), it auto-disables prepared statements. This breaks `gbrain search`
silently — the /sync-gbrain capability check fails and the GBrain Search
Guidance block never gets written to CLAUDE.md.

Three-layer fix:

1. **lib/gbrain-exec.ts** — `buildGbrainEnv()` now detects port 6543 in
   the effective DATABASE_URL and sets `GBRAIN_PREPARE=true` in the env
   passed to every gbrain spawn. This is the single chokepoint — all
   gstack gbrain invocations inherit the fix. Caller can opt out with
   `GBRAIN_PREPARE=false`.

2. **sync-gbrain/SKILL.md{,.tmpl}** — capability check now exports
   `GBRAIN_PREPARE=true` explicitly and retries search up to 3x with 1s
   delay for async index propagation under connection pooling.

3. **bin/gstack-gbrain-detect** — surfaces `gbrain_pooler_mode` field
   ("transaction" | "session" | null) in the preamble probe JSON so
   /setup-gbrain and /sync-gbrain can advise users about pooler state.

Closes #1435

* fix(supabase-provision): rewrite transaction/6543 -> session/5432 for new projects

- Single-object pooler API responses default to transaction-mode at 6543,
  but the shared pooler tenant on new projects only listens on session/5432
- Add a `pool_mode == transaction && db_port == 6543` rewrite + stderr note
- Escape hatch via `GSTACK_SUPABASE_TRUST_API_PORT=1` for forward-compat
- 5 new tests covering rewrite, no-op shapes, env opt-out, array path

Fixes #1301.

* fix(browse): GSTACK_CHROMIUM_NO_SANDBOX opt-out for Ubuntu/AppArmor (#1562)

Ubuntu/AppArmor configurations often block unprivileged Chromium sandboxing
for headless agent sessions even for normal users — /qa hangs without
--no-sandbox. The kernel policy denies the unprivileged user namespaces
Chromium needs.

Adds GSTACK_CHROMIUM_NO_SANDBOX=1 as an explicit user override that forces
the sandbox off without changing the default for everyone else. Re-authored
from PR #1562 onto v1.42.2.0's shouldEnableChromiumSandbox() helper —
purely additive, preserves the headed-launch sandbox-on-by-default behavior
that v1.42.2.0 shipped to kill the --no-sandbox yellow infobar.

Three new regression tests cover:
  - linux + override=1 → false (the named use case)
  - darwin + override=1 → false (env wins on any platform)
  - override=0 → does NOT trigger (must be exactly "1")

* fix(browse): mirror isCustomChromium() guard in headless launch()

When BROWSE_EXTENSIONS_DIR is set alongside GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH pointing
at a baked-extension build (GBrowser / GStack Browser), the headless launch()
path was unconditionally adding --disable-extensions-except / --load-extension.
This causes the same ServiceWorkerState::SetWorkerId DCHECK crash that
launchHeaded() already guards against via isCustomChromium().

Mirror the existing guard: skip --load-extension flags when isCustomChromium()
returns true; always push the off-screen window geometry args.

* fix(browse): daemonize macOS/Linux server via setsid()

`Bun.spawn().unref()` only releases the child from Bun's event loop —
it does NOT call setsid(). The spawned bun server inherits the spawning
shell's process session. When the CLI runs inside a session-managed shell
that exits shortly after the CLI returns (Claude Code's per-command Bash
sandbox, Conductor, OpenClaw, CI step runners), the session leader's exit
sends SIGHUP to every PID in the session — killing the bun server and
its Chromium grandchildren within seconds of a successful `connect`.

Setting `BROWSE_PARENT_PID=0` (already done by the `connect` command and
pair-agent) disables the parent-process watchdog but does NOT save the
server here: SIGHUP from session teardown still reaps it.

Replace the macOS/Linux `Bun.spawn().unref()` with Node's
`child_process.spawn({ detached: true })`, which calls setsid() and
gives the server its own session leader role (PPID=1, STAT=Ss). This
mirrors the Windows path's rationale (PR #191 by @fqueiro) — same root
cause, different OS surface.

Verified on macOS in Conductor: pre-fix the server dies ~10–15s after
connect across separate Bash invocations; post-fix the same PID stays
alive (PPID=1, SESS=0, STAT=Ss) and responds to `status`/`goto`/
`snapshot` across many separate shell calls.

The `proc?.stderr` startup-error branch is removed since both platforms
now spawn with `stdio: 'ignore'`; both fall through to the on-disk
`browse-startup-error.log` written by `server.ts`'s start().catch.

* fix(design): bump image-gen timeout to 240s + pin gpt-image-2

The design binary calls /v1/responses (gpt-4o + image_generation tool,
quality:high, 1536x1024) but aborted the request after a hardcoded 120s.
That class of request consistently takes ~140-160s end-to-end, so every
generate/variants/evolve/iterate call aborted before the image returned.

In /design-shotgun this cascades: Step 3c launches N parallel agents,
each calling `$D generate`, each aborts at 120s and retries, all fail,
the comparison board never opens — the skill appears to hang indefinitely.

Reproduced the exact API call with a longer budget: HTTP 200, valid
image, 143.5s. A real /design-shotgun run after the patch generated 3
variants in parallel at 150.0s / 161.0s / 152.1s, all exit 0 — note the
161s case, which a naive 150s bump would still have failed.

- Bump AbortController timeout 120_000 -> 240_000 in generate.ts,
  variants.ts, evolve.ts, iterate.ts (both call sites)
- Pin the image_generation tool to model "gpt-image-2"

design/test/variants-retry-after.test.ts: 5 pass, 0 fail. The
feedback-roundtrip.test.ts failures are a pre-existing browse-module
breakage (session.clearLoadedHtml undefined), unrelated to this change.

* test: fill coverage gaps for PRs #1606, #1612, #1620

Three cherry-picked PRs in this wave landed without unit-test coverage for
the specific invariant they protect:

  #1606 (@andrey-esipov) — LC_ALL=C pin in _gstack_gbrain_validate_varname
    8 tests by sourcing bin/gstack-gbrain-lib.sh and calling the validator
    directly. Asserts uppercase/digit/underscore accepted, lowercase
    REJECTED (the macOS-locale regression case), mixed-case rejected,
    LC_ALL=C scoping is local (doesn't leak to caller).

  #1612 (@bharat2913) — setsid daemonize via Node child_process.spawn
    4 static-invariant tests on browse/src/cli.ts. The actual setsid
    syscall is hard to assert without a real spawn, so we pin the source
    shape: nodeSpawn imported from child_process; non-Windows branch uses
    nodeSpawn(...) with detached:true and .unref(); comment documents
    setsid/SIGHUP root cause; Bun.spawn() is NOT used on macOS/Linux.

  #1620 (@davidfoy, re-authored into .tmpl per A3) — §4a-postfail
    12 static invariants on land-and-deploy/SKILL.md.tmpl + generated
    SKILL.md. Pins all three state branches (MERGED/OPEN/CLOSED), the
    authoritative state query, the merge-SHA capture, non-destructive
    worktree cleanup with uncommitted-work guard, autoMergeRequest probe
    on OPEN, hard "never retry gh pr merge" rule, and atomic regen
    propagation.

Failing build if any of the three invariants regresses.

Note: gbrain-lib-validate-varname.test.ts also surfaces a pre-existing
glob-pattern overpermissiveness (hyphens + dots accepted) — not in
#1606's scope; documented inline as a separate cleanup target.

* test(learnings): align injection-prevention tests with PR #1619 tagged-line shape

PR #1619 (preserve current entries in cross-project search) refactored
gstack-learnings-search to tag rows inline (`current\t<json>` vs
`cross\t<json>`) instead of filtering inside the bun block via
process.env.GSTACK_SEARCH_SLUG. The bun block no longer reads SLUG or
CROSS env vars — it parses the per-line tag and sets a per-entry
_crossProject flag.

The pre-existing test/learnings-injection.test.ts still asserted on the
old SLUG + CROSS env var shape. Updates:

  - Remove the SLUG env var assertion (no longer set on bash command line)
  - Remove the bun-block CROSS env var assertion (block reads the tag now,
    not the env)
  - Add a new positive assertion that the bun block parses the tag
    (sourceTag | tabIndex | crossProject)
  - Keep the shell-interpolation safety assertion unchanged — that's
    independent of the SLUG refactor

The CROSS env var is still SET on the bash command line (it controls
whether the cross-project find runs at all), but the bun child no longer
reads it. The existing "env vars set on bash command line" test continues
to pin that.

* test(gbrain-detect): include gbrain_pooler_mode in schema regression (PR #1591)

update the schema regression check in
test/gstack-gbrain-detect-mcp-mode.test.ts. Adding the key in alphabetical
order matching the rest of the schema array. Downstream sync-gbrain ignores
unknown keys, so this is forward-compat.

Without this, the test fails with a diff:
  + "gbrain_pooler_mode"
because keys is the actual set returned and the expected array was
pre-#1591.

* chore(release): v1.43.0.0 — post-Daegu paper-cut wave

Bumps VERSION 1.42.2.0 → 1.43.0.0 (MINOR per scale-aware bump rules: new
env-var surface GSTACK_SYNC_*_TIMEOUT_MS + GSTACK_CHROMIUM_NO_SANDBOX,
behavior expansion in browse/src/browser-manager.ts headless launch,
three skill-template prompt changes affecting /retro, /review,
/sync-gbrain).

CHANGELOG entry leads with what stopped happening: /retro stops
fabricating retros against stale bases, /sync-gbrain stops SIGTERM-looping
35-min restarts on big brains, /review stops shipping framework FPs the
reviewer never grep'd.

18 fixes total — 15 community PRs + 3 self-filed silent-failure issues
(#1624, #1611, #1539) — in one bundled PR with 26 bisect commits and 7
new regression test files. Every wave-touched test file passes in
isolation.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.7 f44de365c5 v1.27.0.0 feat: /setup-gbrain Path 4 (remote MCP) + brain → artifacts rename (#1351)
* feat: gstack-gbrain-mcp-verify helper for remote MCP probe

Probes a remote gbrain MCP endpoint with bearer auth. POSTs initialize,
classifies failures into NETWORK / AUTH / MALFORMED with one-line
remediation hints, and runs a tools/list capability probe to detect
sources_add MCP support (forward-compat for when gbrain ships URL ingest).

Token consumed from GBRAIN_MCP_TOKEN env, never argv. Required to set
both 'application/json' AND 'text/event-stream' in Accept; that gotcha
costs 10 minutes of debugging when missed (regression-tested).

Live-verified against wintermute (gbrain v0.27.1).

* feat: gstack-artifacts-init + gstack-artifacts-url helpers

artifacts-init replaces brain-init with provider choice (gh / glab /
manual), per-user gstack-artifacts-$USER repo, HTTPS-canonical storage in
~/.gstack-artifacts-remote.txt, and a "send this to your brain admin"
hookup printout. Always prints the command, never auto-executes — gbrain
v0.26.x has no admin-scope MCP probe (codex Finding #3).

artifacts-url centralizes HTTPS↔SSH/host/owner-repo conversion so callers
don't each string-mangle (codex Finding #10). The remote-conflict check in
artifacts-init compares at the canonical level so re-running with HTTPS
input doesn't trip on a stored SSH URL for the same logical repo.

The "URL form not supported" branch prints a two-line clone-then-path
form for gbrain v0.26.x; the supported branch is a one-liner with --url
ready for when gbrain ships URL ingest.

* feat: extend gstack-gbrain-detect with mcp_mode + artifacts_remote

Adds two new fields to detect's JSON output:

- gbrain_mcp_mode: local-stdio | remote-http | none
  Resolved via 3-tier fallback (codex Finding D3): claude mcp get --json
  → claude mcp list text-grep → ~/.claude.json jq read. If Anthropic moves
  the file format, the first two tiers absorb it.

- gstack_artifacts_remote: HTTPS URL from ~/.gstack-artifacts-remote.txt
  Falls back to ~/.gstack-brain-remote.txt during the v1.27.0.0 migration
  window so detect doesn't return empty between upgrade and migration.

Existing detect tests still pass (15/15). New 19 tests cover every fallback
tier independently, plus a schema regression for /sync-gbrain compat.

* feat: setup-gbrain Path 4 (remote MCP) + artifacts rename

Path 4 lets users paste an HTTPS MCP URL + bearer token and registers it
as an HTTP-transport MCP without needing a local gbrain CLI install. The
flow:

- Step 2 gains a fourth option (Remote gbrain MCP)
- Step 4 adds Path 4 sub-flow: collect URL, secret-read bearer, verify
  via gstack-gbrain-mcp-verify (NETWORK / AUTH / MALFORMED classifier)
- Step 5 (local doctor), Step 7.5 (transcript ingest), Step 5a's stdio
  branch all skip on Path 4
- Step 5a adds an HTTP+bearer registration form: claude mcp add
  --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer ..."
- Step 7 renamed "session memory sync" → "artifacts sync" and now calls
  gstack-artifacts-init (which always prints the brain-admin hookup
  command — no auto-execute, codex Finding #3)
- Step 8 CLAUDE.md block branches: remote-http includes URL + server
  version (never the token); local-stdio keeps engine + config-file
- Step 9 smoke test on Path 4 prints the curl-equivalent for
  post-restart verification (MCP tools aren't visible mid-session)
- Step 10 verdict block has separate templates per mode

Idempotency: re-running with gbrain_mcp_mode=remote-http already in
detect output skips Step 2 entirely and goes to verification.

* refactor: rename gbrain_sync_mode → artifacts_sync_mode (v1.27.0.0 prep)

Hard rename, no dual-read alias (codex Finding D4). The on-disk migration
script (Phase C, separate commit) renames the config key in users'
~/.gstack/config.yaml and any CLAUDE.md blocks.

Touched call sites:
- bin/gstack-config defaults + validation + list/defaults output
- bin/gstack-gbrain-detect (gstack_brain_sync_mode field still emitted
  with the same name for downstream-tool compat; reads new key)
- bin/gstack-brain-sync, bin/gstack-brain-enqueue, bin/gstack-brain-uninstall
- bin/gstack-timeline-log (comment ref)
- scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-brain-sync-block.ts: renames key,
  branches on gbrain_mcp_mode=remote-http to emit "ARTIFACTS_SYNC:
  remote-mode (managed by brain server <host>)" instead of the local
  mode/queue/last_push line (codex Finding #11)
- bin/gstack-brain-restore + bin/gstack-gbrain-source-wireup: read
  ~/.gstack-artifacts-remote.txt with ~/.gstack-brain-remote.txt fallback
  during the migration window
- bin/gstack-artifacts-init: tolerant of unrecognized URL forms (local
  paths, file://, self-hosted gitea) so test infrastructure and unusual
  remotes work without canonicalization
- test/brain-sync.test.ts: gstack-brain-init → gstack-artifacts-init
- test/skill-e2e-brain-privacy-gate.test.ts: artifacts_sync_mode keys
- test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts: budget 35K → 36.5K for the new MCP-mode
  probe in the preamble resolver
- health/SKILL.md.tmpl, sync-gbrain/SKILL.md.tmpl: comment + verdict line

Hard delete:
- bin/gstack-brain-init (replaced by bin/gstack-artifacts-init in v1.27.0.0)
- test/gstack-brain-init-gh-mock.test.ts (replaced by gstack-artifacts-init.test.ts)

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files after artifacts-sync rename

Mechanical regen via \`bun run gen:skill-docs --host all\`. All */SKILL.md
files reflect the renamed config key (gbrain_sync_mode →
artifacts_sync_mode), the renamed remote-helper file
(~/.gstack-artifacts-remote.txt with brain fallback), the renamed init
script (gstack-artifacts-init), and the new ARTIFACTS_SYNC: remote-mode
status line that fires when a remote-http MCP is registered.

Golden fixtures (test/fixtures/golden/*-ship-SKILL.md) refreshed to match
the regenerated default-ship output.

* feat: v1.27.0.0 migration — gstack-brain → gstack-artifacts rename

Journaled, interruption-safe migration. Six steps, each writes to
~/.gstack/.migrations/v1.27.0.0.journal on success; re-entry resumes
from the next un-done step. On final success, journal is replaced by
~/.gstack/.migrations/v1.27.0.0.done.

Steps:
1. gh_repo_renamed       gh/glab repo rename gstack-brain-$USER →
                         gstack-artifacts-$USER (idempotent: detects
                         already-renamed and skips)
2. remote_txt_renamed    mv ~/.gstack-brain-remote.txt → artifacts file,
                         rewriting URL path to match the new repo name
3. config_key_renamed    sed -i in ~/.gstack/config.yaml flips
                         gbrain_sync_mode → artifacts_sync_mode
4. claude_md_block       sed flips "- Memory sync:" → "- Artifacts sync:"
                         in cwd CLAUDE.md and ~/.gstack/CLAUDE.md
5. sources_swapped       gbrain sources add NEW (verify) → remove OLD
                         (codex Finding #6: add-before-remove ordering,
                         no downtime window). On remote-MCP mode, prints
                         commands for the brain admin instead of executing.
6. done                  touchfile + delete journal

User opt-out: any "n" or "skip-for-now" answer at the initial prompt
writes a marker file that prevents re-prompting; user can re-invoke
via /setup-gbrain --rerun-migration.

11 unit tests cover: nothing-to-migrate, GitHub happy path, idempotent
re-run, journal-resume mid-flight, remote-MCP print-only path,
add-before-remove ordering verification, add-fail → old source stays
registered, CLAUDE.md field rewrite.

* test: regression suite + E2E for v1.27.0.0 rename

Three new regression tests guard the rename's blast radius (per codex
Findings #1, #8, #9, #12):

- test/no-stale-gstack-brain-refs.test.ts: greps bin/, scripts/, *.tmpl,
  test/ for forbidden identifiers (gstack-brain-init, gbrain_sync_mode);
  fails CI if any non-allowlisted file references them.
- test/post-rename-doc-regen.test.ts: confirms gen-skill-docs output has
  no stale references in any */SKILL.md (the cross-product blind spot).
- test/setup-gbrain-path4-structure.test.ts: structural lint over the
  Path 4 prose contract — STOP gates after verify failure, never-write-
  token rules, mode-aware CLAUDE.md block, bearer always via env-var.

Two new gate-tier E2E tests (deterministic stub HTTP server, fixed inputs):

- test/skill-e2e-setup-gbrain-remote.test.ts: Path 4 happy path. Stubs
  an HTTP MCP server, drives the skill via Agent SDK with a stubbed
  bearer, asserts claude.json gets the http MCP entry, CLAUDE.md gets
  the remote-http block, the secret token NEVER leaks to CLAUDE.md.
- test/skill-e2e-setup-gbrain-bad-token.test.ts: stub server returns 401;
  asserts the AUTH classifier hint surfaces, no MCP registration occurs,
  CLAUDE.md is unchanged. Regression guard for the "verify failed → STOP"
  rule.

touchfiles.ts: setup-gbrain-remote and setup-gbrain-bad-token added at
gate-tier so CI catches Path 4 regressions on every PR.

Plus a few comment refs flipped: bin/gstack-jsonl-merge, bin/gstack-timeline-log
(legacy gstack-brain-init mentions in headers).

* release: v1.27.0.0 — /setup-gbrain Path 4 + brain → artifacts rename

Bumps VERSION 1.26.4.0 → 1.27.0.0 (MINOR per CLAUDE.md scale-aware bump
guidance: ~1500 line net change including a new path in /setup-gbrain,
two new bin helpers, a journaled migration, 59 new tests, and a config
key rename across the codebase).

CHANGELOG entry covers: Path 4 (Remote MCP) end-to-end, the brain →
artifacts rename, the journaled migration, the verify-helper error
classifier, the artifacts-init multi-host provider choice. Includes
the canonical Garry-voice headline + numbers table + audience close
per the release-summary format.

* test: demote setup-gbrain Path 4 E2E to periodic-tier

The Agent SDK E2E tests for Path 4 (skill-e2e-setup-gbrain-remote and
skill-e2e-setup-gbrain-bad-token) are inherently non-deterministic —
the model interprets "follow Path 4 only" prompts flexibly and can
skip Step 8 (CLAUDE.md write) or shortcut past the verify helper, which
makes the gate-tier assertions flaky.

The deterministic gate coverage for Path 4 is in
test/setup-gbrain-path4-structure.test.ts: a fast structural lint that
catches AUQ-pacing regressions and prose contract drift in <200ms with
zero token spend. That test is the right tool for catching the failure
mode the gate-tier was meant to guard against.

The Agent SDK E2E tests stay available on-demand for periodic-tier runs
(EVALS=1 EVALS_TIER=periodic bun test test/skill-e2e-setup-gbrain-*.test.ts).
Also tightened the verify-error assertion to the literal field shape
("error_class": "AUTH") instead of a substring match that false-matches
the parent claude session's "needs-auth" MCP discovery markers.

* chore: sync package.json version to 1.27.0.0

VERSION was bumped to 1.27.0.0 in f6ec11eb but package.json was not
updated in the same commit. The gen-skill-docs.test.ts assertion
"package.json version matches VERSION file" caught the drift.

This is the DRIFT_STALE_PKG case the /ship Step 12 idempotency check
is designed for; the fix is the documented sync-only repair (no
re-bump, package.json synced to existing VERSION).
