Garry Tanandcapy-ai[bot] 9dea818e34 v1.91.122.0 fix(deps): clear the 2026-11-30 OSV suppressions, replace #3228, exempt dependabot from Version Gate rule 1 (#3239)
* fix(deps): clear the OSV suppressions that expire on 2026-11-30

Delete the hono, @anthropic-ai/sdk (#2754) and sprintf-js ignores, which the
lockfiles no longer match. Override image-size to 2.0.4 (#2753) and chokidar
to 4.0.3 in lib/diagram-render (drops braces), and delete those ignores.
Re-date katex to 2027-01-31: its fix is outside mermaid 11's range
(mermaid-js/mermaid#8388).

html-to-docx 1.8.0 bundles its own image-size 1.x, which the override cannot
reach and whose ICNS parser loops forever. make-pdf --to docx now hands it
only PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP or SVG bytes. A golden docx test proves the Word
output is unchanged.

* build(deps-dev): @types/bun 1.4.3, prettier 3.9.10; hold the Anthropic SDKs to patches

Replaces dependabot #3228 without its agent-sdk 0.3 and sdk 0.133 bumps,
which break typecheck:test and overlay-sdk-cancel-eof. Their 0.x breaking
releases are semver-minor to dependabot, so the ignore covers minor and major.
@types/bun 1.4.3 retires 18 test type diagnostics; the baseline locks that in.

* fix(ci): exempt dependabot dependency-manifest PRs from Version Gate rule 1

Dependabot never edits VERSION, so hard rule 1 failed every package.json PR
it opened. The workflow now passes the PR author and changed-file list; the
gate skips rule 1 only for dependabot[bot] when every file is a package.json,
bun.lock(b) or .github/dependabot.yml. A failed file lookup keeps the rule.

* fix(make-pdf): guard every html-to-docx sizing path, keep non-ICNS formats

Review found three spellings that got past the regex guard and still hung
--to docx: a data-src decoy, a percent-encoded separator, and an unquoted
encoded colon. html-to-docx sizes images on three paths, and buildImage
URI-decodes the whole src first. The guard now mirrors all three, drops ICNS
(the only input its bundled image-size routes to the looping parser) instead
of allowlisting formats, so BMP and TIFF embed as before, and re-parses the
result with html-to-docx's own html-to-vdom to fail closed on anything the
regex misreads. The golden test tolerates CRLF checkouts on Windows.

Version Gate treats a failed file lookup as an empty list, so a partial
paginated result cannot decide the exemption.

* fix(cso): invoke docker as argv0 docker so OrbStack's multicall binary dispatches

executable() returns the canonical path, and OrbStack installs docker as a
symlink to docker-tools, which dispatches on argv[0] and exits 127 with
'unsupported argv0 "docker-tools"'. Every Docker call failed, so doctor
reported local-docker-isolation and every scanner missing and setup could
not preload the qualified images.

runProcess takes an argv0 option; docker.ts routes every Docker call
through runDocker, which passes 'docker'. The native watchdog's execve
calls pass "docker" as argv[0] too, so its container cleanup works on the
same installs. The executed file is still the verified canonical path.

Fixes #3187

* test(cso): cover Docker and watchdog invocation through a multicall binary

A compiled fake that refuses any argv[0] but docker stands in for
OrbStack's docker-tools. Both behavior tests fail on the previous code.

Refs #3187

* fix(cso): bound the argv0 test's socket helper and probe images through OrbStack's multicall docker (#3187)

Follow-up to #3188 by Bryan Stone (@aegixx):
- the python3 spawnSync that binds the fake daemon socket gets a 30 s
  timeout; without it test/spawnsync-timeout-tripwire.test.ts fails.
- reviewer test: dockerExactImagePresent, a production probe, admits an
  image when the endpoint's canonical executable is a multicall binary
  that refuses any argv0 other than "docker". It fails on 47d639a
  (returns false) and passes with #3188.

* fix(autoplan): own the conversation after a Claude Code 2.1.300 compaction

Claude Code 2.1.300 keeps a compaction's last records in place and lists
them in compactMetadata.preservedMessages. The segment's tail, which is
also the boundary's logicalParentUuid, is written after the boundary
under the compact summary, so the parent links form a cycle that the
owned causal order never reaches. Every record after the compaction was
dropped, and the publication guard denied each later phase entry with
close_incomplete.

Such a boundary now continues from the last preserved record that is a
node of the file and not its own descendant. Boundaries without that
metadata, with a foreign preserved uuid, or with nothing kept in place
still supply no ownership.

* fix(autoplan): report a compaction-explained unreachable component as unrecognized_shape (#3194)

Follow-up to #3196 by vilano93. After the ownership walk, an owned node
the walk never reached was silently dropped, and the phase guard answered
the next phase entry with close_incomplete, which the user cannot satisfy.
When the unreachable node's ancestry ends in a cycle through a compact
boundary's logical parent, ownedCausalOrder now returns
unrecognized_shape:compaction_unreachable, the guard's existing
unverified disposition (allow with a visible warning and a guard-log
row). Orphans whose ancestor is missing (not flushed yet) and other roots
keep today's behaviour, so the fail-open surface does not widen beyond
compaction. Each node is walked once.

Gate-integrity edit: a close_incomplete denial becomes an unverified
allow for that shape only. Negative controls kept: the existing guard,
hook, guard-reasons and captured-fixture tests still deny (356 pass), and
a new case with the boundary not yet flushed still denies close_incomplete.

Intentional pin changes in #3196's own test file: the three "fails
closed" cases (tail-only segment, missing preserved metadata, foreign
preserved uuid) and the "without compactMetadata" case now expect
unrecognized_shape:compaction_unreachable instead of close_incomplete or
a silently cut transcript.

Reviewer tests: three compactions in one session stay owned and pass the
next phase entry; a 50k-record history with three compactions is decided
in ~300 ms (budget 1000 ms), so descends needs no memo.

* feat(lib): one echo sanitizer for external strings, with a Bash twin

lib/sanitize-echo.ts and bin/gstack-sanitize-echo.sh flatten CR/LF/TAB to
spaces, remove every other ASCII control byte (ESC included) and DEL,
collapse runs of spaces, and cap the result at 200 bytes of valid UTF-8
with no leading or trailing space. Every external string gstack echoes
into a message, a log line or a key=value state file goes through it
(fix wave 2026-10-15, plan rev 3 DX F8). test/sanitize-echo.test.ts runs
both twins on one table under bash, bash --posix and zsh, including a
"\nstages=" injection, ESC sequences and UTF-8 characters cut by the cap.

* fix(bun-version): judge the Bun floor under zsh and hold on an unreadable version (#3195)

Reported by mochafreddo. _gstack_bun_below word-split $_gb_core, which
zsh does not do: `[ -ne ]` errored and every error path read as "not
below", so /gstack-upgrade Step 4 accepted Bun 1.3.2 in a zsh tool shell.

- _gstack_bun_below copies the release's parsed fields into quoted
  positional parameters and compares with $((10#...)); no new _gb_*
  globals. It returns 2 when either side cannot be parsed.
- gstack_bun_status prints malformed for an unparseable version or floor
  (never ok); gstack_bun_incoming_hold holds on it with
  bun-version-unreadable: ... (BUN_VERSION_UNREADABLE), the bun path and
  its output passed through gstack_sanitize_echo. setup's own malformed
  warning is unchanged.
- /gstack-upgrade Step 4 runs the check through `bash -c` and stops on
  BUN_VERSION_UNREADABLE with a reinstall fix (never "bun upgrade").
- New result code BUN_VERSION_UNREADABLE with its troubleshooting entry;
  bin/gstack-doctor-components.sh regenerated from the table.

test/bun-version-shells.test.ts: one version table (1.3.2,
1.3.3-canary.1, 1.3.3, 1.3.14, 1.4.2, 1.10.0, 01.04.02, 2.0.0, garbage)
drives bash, bash --posix, zsh and the TypeScript twin's below();
`zsh -c '. bin/gstack-bun-version.sh; gstack_bun_status 1.3.2'` printed
ok on 47d639a and prints too-old now.

* style(cso): format #3188's runDocker call so format:cso:check passes (#3187)

Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(cso): keep scanner JSON reports parseable after redaction (#3185)

Reported in #3185. The scanner path splices redactions into raw JSON, and
redactFindingSpans replaced a bare 10+ digit number
("max_memory_bytes":1145427776, an epoch) with an unquoted marker, so
JSON.parse failed and every non-trivial Semgrep run was INVALID_OUTPUT.

- lib/redact-engine.ts: redactJsonFindingSpans, a string- and
  escape-aware lexical tokenizer over one or more top-level values
  (NDJSON included). A span inside a number replaces that whole token
  (-, fraction, exponent) with the quoted marker, number by number; a
  span inside a string keeps the in-string marker, widened to whole
  escapes; a span touching several tokens, whitespace, a literal or a
  structural character returns null (withhold). Non-JSON text gets the
  plain splice. redactFindingSpans is unchanged for every other caller.
- The scan operation's declared format rides the real capture path:
  scanner-executor (scan stdout, or the report file read for outputPath
  plans) -> DockerGroup.execCapture -> runProcess -> spliceRedaction,
  which redacts the concatenated stdout once and maps each interleaved
  run onto it. Version probes and stderr stay plain; marker-only
  withholding and the cross-stream views check are kept, and the output
  is a fixpoint of that check.

Behavior change: a redacted number in a scanner report is now the string
"<REDACTED-...>" instead of an unquoted marker; non-JSON streams keep the
unquoted form (test/cso-eval.test.ts unchanged).

Intentional pin change: test/cso-scanner-release.test.ts pinned the
report read as capture(['/bin/cat', plan.outputPath]); it now pins
capture(['/bin/cat', plan.outputPath], plan.format), so the read also
carries the declared JSON format (stricter, not weaker).

* fix(browse): recover when the last tab is closed outside the CLI

Closing the last tab outside browse (for example, closing the headed
Chromium window) left the daemon wedged: the page 'close' handler removed
the tab and set activeTabId to 0, and executeCommand called
getActiveSession() first, so every later command (goto, status, even stop)
failed with "No active page" until the daemon PID was killed by hand.

closeTab() already opens a blank tab when the last tab closes; the external
close path never did. Add BrowserManager.ensureActiveTab(), which reselects
a remaining tab or opens one blank tab (concurrent callers share one
recovery), and call it before resolving the active session in
executeCommand.

Fixes #3167

* fix(browse): status and stop answer after an external close; recovery says what it did (#3167)

Follow-up to #3179 by aftabkh4n, which reopens a tab on demand.
- BrowserManager.ensureCommandTab runs before every command: status,
  stop and restart never open a tab, so a daemon whose browser or context
  is gone can still report and be stopped; any other command gets an
  active tab. A failed recovery is BROWSE_TAB_UNRECOVERABLE carrying the
  restart command (cause passed through sanitizeEcho), and a command that
  ran on a newly opened tab prints a one-line warning first.
- server.ts reads the session inside the read and write branches instead
  of before dispatch (2223 lines, cap 2224) and exposes browserManager
  and handleCommandInternal on __testInternals__ for the dispatch test.
- meta-commands.ts: handleMetaCommand no longer reads the active session
  before its switch (only snapshot and resume used it), and status prints
  getCurrentUrl() so it works with zero tabs. This file is outside the
  lane's listed ownership; no other lane or #3190 touches browse/.
- New result code BROWSE_TAB_UNRECOVERABLE and troubleshooting entries
  for it and for the old "No active page" wedge.

Reviewer test browse/test/tab-external-close-dispatch.test.ts drives the
real dispatch in a child process: status, text, goto and stop after an
external close, and the closed-context case. On 47d639a (with only the
test seam added) all five fail with "No active page".

* docs(troubleshooting): /cso INVALID_OUTPUT on Semgrep reports and OrbStack's argv0 refusal (#3185, #3187)

* fix(session-update): name the reinstall fix when an unreadable Bun holds the auto-update (#3195)

Item 11 makes every caller of gstack_bun_incoming_hold treat a Bun
version it cannot read as a hold (bun-version-unreadable,
BUN_VERSION_UNREADABLE). The session-start banner only knew
bun-too-old, so the new reason fell through to "git pull did not
finish ... gstack is not updating" with a pull-and-setup fix that does
not help.

- bin/gstack-session-update: a bun-version-unreadable banner case with
  the reinstall fix and the troubleshooting anchor; the comment that
  said a malformed version passes is corrected.

Intentional pin change: test/session-update-stages.test.ts "supported
or unparseable Bun (bun-dev (local build)) proceeds: setup decides" is
split. 1.3.14 still proceeds; bun-dev (local build) now holds with
BUN_VERSION_UNREADABLE, leaves the checkout and setup untouched, and
the banner names the reinstall fix. The fixture installs
bin/gstack-sanitize-echo.sh beside the floor helper, as a real install
of this release does. The new case fails on 47d639a.

Ownership exception granted by the coordinator for Lane A
(bin/gstack-session-update is Lane B's file; PR 1b stacks on 1a).

* fix(session-update): recover a conflicting autostash by its unmerged files

The auto-updater fast-forwards with `merge --ff-only --autostash`. When
the carried-over local edits conflict with the incoming revision, git
2.56 still exits 0 from that merge, pops the edits with conflict markers
into the live checkout, and keeps the stash entry. The recovery only ran
on a non-zero exit with "autostash" in stderr, so on git 2.56 it never
ran: the updater logged UPDATED and ran setup over a half-merged tree,
in the directory Claude Code runs hooks from. When it did run, it had two
more problems:
- `git checkout -- .` refuses unmerged paths ("error: path 'f' is
  unmerged", exit 1), so it left the markers in place anyway.
- `git stash drop` dropped stash@{0}, whatever that was. refs/stash is
  shared with every worktree of the repository, and when
  refs/stash.lock is held git cannot store the autostash at all, so the
  top entry can be someone else's.

Now the merge is judged by `git ls-files -u`, whatever its exit code.
On unmerged files after the fast-forward, autostash_recover finds the
autostash commit by the id git prints ("cannot store <id>" first, then
"Created autostash: <id>", with the merge run under LC_ALL=C and
core.abbrev=40). A moved refs/stash is only the fallback. When that id
is not a stash entry, it is anchored under refs/gstack-autostash/<UTC>.
The tree is reset to the fast-forwarded revision, which the hook check
already passed, and the stash is kept. The log line is
AUTOSTASH_CONFLICT_RECOVERED tree_reset=1 kept_stash=<id> kept_ref=<ref>.
The update then continues, so the regenerable patches are re-rendered
and setup runs as for any other move. If the commit cannot be found,
nothing is reset: the markers stay for a person, the run logs
PULL_FAILED, and setup does not run.

Files that are already unmerged before the update, from someone's own
merge, rebase or stash pop, now hold the update with PULL_FAILED
"unmerged files ...". Without that check, the recovery would take them
for its own and reset them away.

core.abbrev=40, not "no": "no" is accepted from git 2.31.0 (its release
notes), and `merge --autostash` exists from 2.27.0, so "no" would fail
every update on git 2.27-2.30.

Files:
- bin/gstack-session-update: autostash_recover, the unmerged-files check
  before the merge, the C-locale merge with its stdout kept for the id,
  and removal of the old grep-and-drop block.
- test/session-update-autostash.test.ts: 7 cases in a new describe block.
  A conflicting pop leaves no markers, keeps the edits and still runs
  setup. A user's own stash entry survives. A held refs/stash.lock gets
  the edits anchored. With a git whose merge prints nothing, a moved
  refs/stash still finds the edits; with the lock held as well, nothing
  is reset. Pre-existing unmerged files hold the checkout. A
  non-conflicting edit rides over the update (control).

Tests, on upstream 15ebd85cd:
- 5 of the 7 new cases fail against the previous session-update; the
  unmerged-files guard and the control pass on both.
- Two mutants are each caught by one new case: dropping the refs/stash
  fallback, and resetting when the edits cannot be found.
- session-update-autostash, session-update-stages,
  session-update-hook-hold and team-mode pass 63/0 with
  `--timeout 60000`. At bun's 5 s default under heavy load (one
  reading: load average 169), the three shared files timed out 8 tests
  on this branch and 17 with the previous script.

* fix(session-update): trust only git's autostash id; owe setup on a stop

An independent review of the autostash recovery (Codex gpt-6-astra,
high effort, verdict BLOCK high=1 med=2) found three defects on its rare
paths. All three are fixed here, each with a case that failed first.

- [high] The refs/stash fallback could erase local edits. When git's
  messages were unavailable, recovery took any change to refs/stash as
  its own autostash. refs/stash is shared with every worktree: if a
  sibling pushed a stash while refs/stash.lock kept git from storing
  this one, recovery took the sibling's entry and reset the checkout,
  erasing edits nothing held. Now only git's own printed id counts. A
  missing id resets nothing: the markers stay, the run logs
  PULL_FAILED. Recovery needs git's messages, so when the temp file for
  them cannot be created the update is held before the merge
  (HELD temp-file-unavailable), not merged blind.
- [med] A stop after the checkout moved lost the setup it owed. The
  failure recorded only the pull reason. Once the person resolved the
  conflict, the next check saw an unchanged HEAD and no pending stage,
  logged UP_TO_DATE, and never set up the new revision. Now a failure
  after HEAD moved records `setup` as a pending stage, retried at once.
  The unmerged-files check holds it until the conflict is resolved, and
  the pull reason is the stage's reason, so the session-start line says
  what to resolve.
- [med] An unreadable index read as "no conflicts". Both `git ls-files
  -u` checks discarded the exit status, so a failed read after a
  conflicting pop (which git exits 0 for) let setup run over the markers.
  Now a failed read stops the update with PULL_FAILED "cannot read the
  index", before the merge or after it.

Files:
- bin/gstack-session-update: autostash_recover drops the refs/stash
  fallback (and STASH_BEFORE). The temp-file hold. The ls-files exit
  status checked at both points. The pending setup stage on a failure
  after HEAD moved.
- test/session-update-autostash.test.ts: a shim(fx, name, tool, body)
  helper; the fallback case now expects a refusal; the refusal case runs
  on through resolution to setup; three new cases (unreadable index
  before and after the merge, no temp file for git's messages).

Tests, on upstream 15ebd85cd:
- The 5 changed or new cases failed on the previous commit, each on its
  defect: refs/stash trusted and recovered; UP_TO_DATE with no setup
  after resolution; UPDATED over an unreadable index, before and after
  the merge; a blind merge with no temp file.
- Against upstream's own session-update, 8 of the block's 10 cases fail.
- session-update-autostash, session-update-stages,
  session-update-hook-hold and team-mode pass 66/0 with
  `--timeout 90000`.

* fix(session-update): reap heartbeat and its sleeper on exit

The lock heartbeat subshell left its sleep 300 child orphaned when the
updater exited, so heartbeats accumulated across sessions. Track and
reap the heartbeat job (with a job-table fallback for signals between
fork and $!), give the subshell its own exit trap that kills and waits
its sleeper, and map HUP/INT/TERM to exits so the EXIT trap always runs.
Adds a fixture-driven regression test.

* test(session-update): repin the lock trap and heartbeat to #3191's cleanup shape

Intentional pin change: test/session-update-autostash.test.ts 'reclaim is
TOCTOU-safe' and 'EXIT trap is ownership-checked' pinned the one-line
EXIT trap and the 'while :; do sleep 300; ...' loop that #3191 (Jess
Sullivan) replaces with cleanup_session_update and a 'sleep 300 & wait'
heartbeat. The pins still assert the ownership-checked rm -rf, the EXIT
trap, MYPID, and that the heartbeat is killed.

* fix(session-update): move installs only through gstack-ff-update; extract hooks without tar (#3184)

Item 2 (#3189, #3191 adopted in the previous commits) and item 3 of the
fix-wave plan.

bin/gstack-ff-update <dir> <rev> is now the only code that moves an
install's tree. Inside an install-scoped lock (absolute git common dir,
the updater's TTL and mv-aside reap, a heartbeat reaped on exit) it
captures the working tree and the staged state through private indexes,
carries edits that merge cleanly (as an autostash pop would), lets the
regenerable SKILL.md/sections footprint take the target when it
conflicts, and shelves any other conflicting edit, staged change or
unmerged file into refs/gstack/rescue/<oid> (first parent the pre-update
HEAD, second the staged state; compare-and-create; gstack rescue
identity). The move is a two-way read-tree on the private index, so a
late edit or an untracked file in the way refuses with
autostash-unrecoverable and changes nothing. It sources nothing so the
held-install recovery can fetch it from the new revision.

gstack-session-update calls it instead of merge --autostash, holds a
checkout with unmerged files (unmerged-files:), and names shelved edits
at session start at most once a day with inspect, export-the-delta and
delete commands. The incoming revision is extracted for the hook check
through a private index and checkout-index with core.symlinks=false,
never tar (MSYS tar cannot create connect-chrome before its target), and
the held reason carries the failing command's flattened, control-free
stderr. Held lines print before the stage line, one case per reason
with its anchor, every path shell-quoted, no setup fix while unmerged
files exist. docs/troubleshooting.md gains the held-install recovery
forms (Git Bash, PowerShell 5.1, trial and go-back) and entries for each
new line.

design: kept_ref is refs/gstack/rescue/<oid>, refs/stash is never
touched, the quiet-merge cases become a pre-existing-ref refusal and its
recovery, pre-existing unmerged files are a HELD unmerged-files, and the
git shim pins the real binary through git --exec-path.

Intentional pin changes in existing tests:
- test/session-update-stages.test.ts: printed paths are shell-quoted;
  the bun-too-old fix runs gstack-ff-update instead of git pull.
- test/session-update-hook-hold.test.ts: the order pin looks for
  'bash "$FF_UPDATE"' instead of 'merge --ff-only'; the
  hook-check-unavailable fix no longer recommends git pull --autostash;
  installedUpdater copies gstack-ff-update beside the updater.

* fix(gstack-upgrade): Step 4 fast-forwards through gstack-ff-update (#3189)

Item 2 of the fix-wave plan, kept in its own commit so PR 1b can be
rebased onto PR 1a (which edits only Step 4's Bun floor-check line).

Step 4's `git pull --ff-only --autostash` had the same hole the
auto-updater had: a conflicting autostash exits 0 and leaves conflict
markers in the install, and the skill printed FF_OK. It now runs
bin/gstack-ff-update . origin/main after the fetch and the floor check:
exit 0 runs setup (a rescued line is relayed with its inspect, export
and delete commands), exit 4 (not a fast-forward) is the only way into
the gated reset fallback, and any other refusal stops with nothing
changed. The footprint discard moves to the reset fallback, ahead of
its stash, where the warning text already promised it.

Intentional pin changes:
- test/upgrade-template-pins.test.ts: the ff-before-reset pin looks for
  'bash bin/gstack-ff-update . origin/main'.
- test/gstack-upgrade-fresh-shell.test.ts: the C9 fence marker is
  'bash bin/gstack-ff-update'; the gstack-like fixture ships the bin.

* fix(setup.ps1): run under Windows PowerShell 5.1's legacy argument passing (#3130)

Item 4 of the fix-wave plan. Windows PowerShell 5.1 strips the double
quotes inside native arguments, so the bash -c script setup.ps1 handed
Git Bash arrived broken ("unexpected EOF while looking for matching").
The script now holds no double quote: `set -f; IFS=; mapfile -d '' -t
argv < $1; rm -f -- $1; exec ./setup ${argv[@]}` (empty IFS and no
globbing keep $1 and each argv entry whole). That form drops an empty
argument, so setup.ps1 refuses one before anything runs
(SETUP_PS1_EMPTY_ARGUMENT, with its troubleshooting entry).

test/setup-ps1.test.ts runs the adversarial arguments under legacy
passing (pwsh with $PSNativeCommandArgumentPassing = 'Legacy', and
powershell.exe itself on Windows) with a space in TMPDIR, plus the
empty-argument refusal. Intentional pin change: the pinned bash -c
line in "passes arguments NUL-separated through a private file to a
constant bash script" now names the quote-free script and asserts it
holds no double quote.

* fix(setup): register hooks at the $HOME path when CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR links back to it

A per-session CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR whose skills symlink to ~/.claude/skills
passed the split-brain guard, so its temporary path was written into the
global settings.json and the hooks broke once the session directory was
removed. Fall back to $HOME/.claude/skills/gstack whenever both spellings
resolve to the same tree.

Fixes #3180

* fix(setup): one sourced helper picks the hook root for setup and gstack-memorable (#3180)

bin/gstack-memorable carried a verbatim copy of setup's old canonical-root
block, so `gstack-memorable enable` under a per-session CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR
still baked the session path into settings.json after #3181 fixed setup.
The choice now lives in bin/gstack-claude-root.sh
(gstack_canonical_claude_root), sourced by both.

Intentional test changes:
- test/setup-hook-canonical-paths.test.ts: #3181's source-slicing block
  test is rewritten to source the helper (with a spawnSync timeout, which
  the sliced version lacked and the tripwire flags); the
  "honors CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR" pin moves from setup to the helper, and a new
  pin requires both callers to source it. Adds a no-$HOME-install case.
- test/setup-hook-syntax-gate.test.ts: the hook-section slice starts at the
  new assignment and the harness sources the helper.
- test/setup-claude-code-migration.test.ts, test/team-mode.test.ts: the
  partial-checkout fixtures copy the new helper setup sources.

Reviewer test: gstack-memorable enable under a per-session config dir that
links back to ~/.claude registers the $HOME path (fails on main).

Builds on #3181 by NetrioGit.

* fix(setup): remove 1.31-era unprefixed Cursor skill folders (#3133)

A 1.31 setup run from a checkout under ~/.cursor/skills linked unprefixed
<skill>/ folders there, each holding a SKILL.md symlink into the checkout.
Current setup links gstack-<skill>/ folders, and the retired-skill prune
only looks at gstack-* names, so the old folders stayed: Cursor loaded
autoplan, review and the rest twice, or kept dangling links once the
checkout moved.

Run the Claude flat-name cleanup on ~/.cursor/skills as well. Cursor
installs only gstack-* names, so no prefix gate is needed, and the helper
removes only entries proven to link into gstack (#2119), so user-owned
folders stay. It runs after linking, so a run that fails before the new
links exist keeps the old folders. Reported by @andrewkjankowski in #3084.

Fixes #3133

* fix(setup): name the skills dir in the flat-name cleanup line (#3133)

`./setup --host cursor` now runs the flat-name cleanup on
~/.cursor/skills as well as ~/.claude/skills, so the "cleaned up old
entries" line says which directory the folders were removed from.

Reviewer test for #3152 (szsunyuan): a real dir whose SKILL.md links into
gstack loses only that link and keeps the user's file; SKILL.md links into
a sibling repo named gstack-fork, a relative link, and a dangling link
outside any gstack checkout are all kept; the printed line names the
removed folders and the Cursor skills dir.

* fix(setup): install Chromium with `bun x`, and name exit 127 for what it is (#3131)

A Bun installed with winget ships no `bunx`, so setup's
`bunx playwright install chromium` exited 127 and was reported as
"offline, proxy, or blocked download?". setup now runs
`bun_cmd x playwright install chromium` through its existing bun resolver
($BUN_CMD), and bin/gstack-browser-ensure runs the bun it found on PATH
with `x`. Exit 127 gets its own text naming the resolved bun, Bun from
bun.sh, and the skip commands for Git Bash and PowerShell; other codes
keep the network hint. New troubleshooting entry:
#chromium-install-exit-127.

Intentional test changes:
- test/setup-playwright-best-effort.test.ts: the installer stub is now a
  `bun_cmd()` stub (was `bunx()`), its mark renamed bun-x-called and now
  records the args; the block under test calls bun_cmd. New winget-shaped
  cases (bun on PATH, no bunx anywhere) run setup's real bun_cmd.
- test/gstack-browser-ensure.test.ts: the fixture is winget-shaped (the
  `bun` stub handles `x`, no `bunx` on PATH); the exit-7 pin now reads
  `<stub>/bun x playwright install chromium exited 7 (...)`.

--help in gstack-browser-ensure prints the comment header only (3,24p).

* ci(windows): prove setup.ps1 on PowerShell 5.1 and the held-install recovery natively (#3130, #3184)

windows-setup job:
- setup.ps1 joins the path filter (with bin/gstack-ff-update,
  bin/gstack-claude-root.sh, bin/gstack-browser-ensure,
  docs/troubleshooting.md and test/setup-ps1.test.ts).
- powershell.exe must be Windows PowerShell 5; test/setup-ps1.test.ts runs
  with a space in TEMP and must report exactly 4 pass, 0 fail, 1 skip
  (the Linux-only missing-prerequisite case).
- A copy of the built checkout under a path with a space installs through
  `powershell.exe -File setup.ps1 --host codex`.

held-install-journey job (new, parallel):
- origin's main is this PR's tree on top of the v1.91.101.0 tree
  (47d639abf); fix-branch adds one file.
- A prefix-mode v1.91.101.0 install at the runner's ~/.claude path in
  three states (clean, dirty-conflicting, already-unmerged), with
  auto_upgrade=true and the throttle cleared: the old updater must log
  `HELD hook-check-unavailable`; the PowerShell recovery form, read
  verbatim from docs/troubleshooting.md and run under powershell.exe,
  must reach main with every local edit (only those) in one rescue ref.
  The dirty state runs it with its .\setup.ps1; the others replace that
  step with a marker.
- The trial and go-back forms move the install to fix-branch (detached)
  and back to main.
- Only then a later release whose symlink sorts before its target is
  pushed, and the new updater must log UPDATED and reach it.
- Both jobs assert the exact list of cases that ran.

The journey steps ran locally on Linux with pwsh in Legacy argument
mode as powershell.exe, a git exec-path whose ../../../bin/bash.exe is
bash, and a failing tar standing in for MSYS tar (all 9 cases passed);
the windows-latest run itself happens on the PR.

* fix(setup.ps1): resolve Git Bash in the shared order, with GSTACK_BASH as an alias and a BASH_UNAVAILABLE refusal

Follows lib/script-invocation.ts (Lane C, PR 2): GSTACK_GIT_BASH is the
override and GSTACK_BASH its deprecated alias at the same precedence;
when both are set and differ GSTACK_GIT_BASH wins and one warning prints.
An override that does not exist is refused, never skipped. Without one:
the install git --exec-path belongs to (behind a scoop shim, or a
portable Git), the folders around git.exe, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Git,
%ProgramFiles%\Git, and last a bash on PATH whose uname -s reports MSYS;
WSL's bash (System32, WindowsApps) is rejected. A miss lists every
candidate with its rejection, then the PowerShell user-variable and
~/.claude/settings.json env recipes (BASH_UNAVAILABLE, #bash-unavailable).

test/setup-ps1.test.ts gains a 14-row pwsh-on-Linux table with every
location injected (override, alias, both set, missing override and alias,
scoop shim, per-user, portable and machine-wide Git, MSYS PATH bash, WSL
and non-MSYS rejections, missing); 11 rows fail on main. The rows mirror
Lane C's table in test/script-invocation.test.ts; they are not wired to
it, since that branch is not available here. The Windows job's expected
skip count for this file moves from 1 to 15 (the table is Linux-only).

* ci(windows-setup): give tar a POSIX path for the spaced checkout

MSYS tar reads `D:\a\_temp/...` as host:path (rsh syntax) and fails with
'Cannot open: No such file or directory' before setup.ps1 runs. The copy
target now goes through cygpath -u; setup.ps1 still gets the Windows form.

* ci(windows-setup): dereference symlinks when copying the spaced checkout

MSYS tar cannot extract connect-chrome, a symlink that precedes its target
(the #3184 failure mode), so the copy died before setup.ps1 ran. tar -h
stores the target instead.

* fix(windows): one Git Bash resolver for gstack's shebang bins (#3197)

Windows has no shebangs, and gstack had three conflicting bash lookups:
the hooks fell back to a bare PATH `bash` (often WSL's launcher), the
gbrain sync checked three fixed paths, and setup.ps1 walked up from
git.exe. lib/script-invocation.ts is now the only TypeScript resolver:
GSTACK_GIT_BASH (GSTACK_BASH as a deprecated alias, same precedence,
warning when they differ, a missing value refused), bash next to
`git --exec-path` (scoop, per-user, portable Git), the known install
paths, then a PATH bash only when `uname -s` reports MSYS/MINGW. WSL
launchers are rejected unprobed. A miss is BASH_UNAVAILABLE, listing
every candidate with its rejection reason.

Bun-shebang bins run under Bun (process.execPath, or the PATH bun inside
a compiled binary). Hooks' runBin resolves through a state-root cache
keyed by git.exe path and mtime, written by temp file plus rename, so
the hot path spawns nothing extra; the override is never cached.
wtreeFingerprint({cwd, timeoutMs}) returns {tree} | {error, kind} with
GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0 and 40-64 hex ids; the consumers move next.

Intentional pin change: test/gbrain-spawn-windows-shell.test.ts expects
forward-slashed bash paths (WIN_BASH and the GSTACK_BASH override), the
form the shared resolver returns because Bun's spawnSync on Windows
returns ENOENT for a backslash exe path containing spaces.
The copied-tree adapters in test/timeline-stop-hook-slug.test.ts and
test/plan-tune-cathedral.test.ts list the two modules spawn-bin.ts now
imports; the new fixture is registered in test/helpers/free-fixtures-data.ts. bin/gstack-doctor-components.sh is
regenerated for the new result-code row.

* fix(windows): fingerprint and gstack bins through the shared invocation (#3197)

bin/gstack-wtree was spawned by path in lib/regen.ts, lib/gate-diff/git.ts,
lib/restamp.ts and bin/gstack-evidence; gstack-slug in restamp, gate-diff
and evidence; gstack-redact in the pregate secrets check; and a bare
`bash -c` in regen, the lane selection manifest and gstack-evidence run.
On Windows each one failed to launch. All now go through
lib/script-invocation.ts, and each fingerprint consumer keeps its fail
direction while saying why:

- gstack-regen check: incomplete, `cannot fingerprint the working tree
  (gstack-wtree exited 1: <helper's own repair>)` instead of
  `(gstack-wtree failed)`; write keeps the registry label as its run id.
- gstack-gate-diff: `+nowtree` candidate, with the cause.
- gstack-restamp: RESTAMP_CONFLICT carrying the launch or exit detail
  (Windows printed `()` before).
- gstack-evidence: records without wtree (grades STALE) and warns once;
  SHA-256 repositories now get a 64-hex fingerprint.

lib/regen.ts keeps a string-returning wtreeFingerprint(repoRoot) wrapper
for lib/pregate/context.ts and lib/pregate/index.ts (files #3190 changes);
item 10b migrates them. test/script-invocation-tripwire.test.ts fails on a
new by-path or bare-bash spawn under lib/, hosts/ or a Bun bin; five sites
outside this change are listed with their owners and may only shrink.

* fix(pregate): keep framework route paths from a selection manifest (#3176)

laneFileSet parsed manifest output with `[\w.-]+` path segments, so
`app/(shop)/[id]/page.test.ts` came back as `page.test.ts`. The selected
test then matched no platform lane, its remote receipt obligation
vanished and it fell back to a local run. manifestTestPaths keeps route
segments whole (`(group)`, `[id]`, `[...slug]`, `[[lang]]`, `@slot`,
`$param`, `+page`), reads every path-shaped token on a line (JSON
arrays, quoted, `path:line`, parenthesized), and decides what is a test
file with the import graph's own isTestFile, so a test-file rule change
there (bats, #3177) reaches manifests without a second regex. A manifest
that cannot start is "unknown" (widens), like a non-zero exit.

This is the manifest-parser half of #3176 by @vocodestudios; the
import-graph half (tsconfig aliases, Next.js route mapping) ships in a
separate PR. test/pregate-manifest-paths.test.ts drives the CLI with a
bracketed route test in the fixture's Windows-only lane and asserts its
requires-remote obligation; it failed on main (requires_remote was []).

* ci(windows): windows-pregate-e2e drives the #3197 paths natively

A windows-latest job (Bun 1.4.2) builds a fixture repository and runs
gstack-restamp --dry-run, gstack-regen check and write, gstack-evidence
run and gstack-gate-diff from their TypeScript entry points, asserting a
real tree fingerprint each time; times a question-log hook cold and warm
and checks it cached its Git Bash resolution; and checks that a missing
GSTACK_GIT_BASH refuses with BASH_UNAVAILABLE and lists the candidate.
The journey runs twice: under the runner's Git for Windows and under a
pinned PortableGit 2.56.0.2 (SHA-256 verified), found only through
`git --exec-path`. gstack-pregate run joins it with item 10b. The workflow is registered in
scripts/test-pr-profile.ts FREE_ONLY_PR_FILES (no paid case reads it), recorded
as a non-behavioral HARNESS_VERSION decision in scripts/harness-version.json.

* fix(setup.ps1): resolve Git Bash by the shared fixture table (#3197)

test/setup-ps1.test.ts now drives setup.ps1 through every row of

lib/script-invocation.ts, instead of a hand-mirrored copy. Two rows
failed and are fixed here:
- an override and alias that differ only in slash direction no longer
  print the differ warning;
- the root git --exec-path names is also searched for usr\bin\bash.exe
  (Git for Windows on arm64).

* test(windows): isolate the no-bash case and launch pregate as the product does (#3197, #3176)

windows-free-tests run 38813751242 failed two tests this layer added. Both
were fixture defects on a real Windows host, not product defects:
- gbrain-spawn-windows-shell "returns null when Windows has no bash" stubbed
  only `exists`. The resolver's PATH step asks the real Bun.which and found
  the runner's MSYS bash, which is correct. The case now also stubs
  `which` and `gitExecPath`, so it really means "no bash anywhere".
- pregate-manifest-paths spawned the extensionless bin/gstack-pregate
  directly. CreateProcess cannot exec a shebang, so nothing ran and stdout
  was "". It now launches through lib/script-invocation's runScriptSync,
  gstack's own Windows invocation, so the case runs the manifest lane end
  to end on Windows instead of being excluded.

* ci(windows): the missing-bash step survives the refusal it expects (#3197)

GitHub runs `shell: bash` as `bash -eo pipefail`, and the step's own
`set -uo pipefail` does not turn -e off. So when gstack-restamp refused, as
the step expects, `OUT=$(...)` aborted the script before `CODE=$?` and before
any output was printed: exit 1 after 0.5 s with nothing in the log (PR #3209,
job 116729693492). The capture is now `OUT=$(...) && CODE=0 || CODE=$?`.

* test(pregate): the manifest-lane case expects the host's own remote lanes (#3176)

Once 8b2f297cc made the case run on Windows, windows-free-tests run
38824886195 (shard 4) showed the expectation itself was Linux-only. pregate
owes a lane remotely when its runner platform is not the host's
(lib/pregate/workflows.ts). On a Windows host the fixture's Windows lane
runs locally, and the Ubuntu `free-tests.yml/unit` lane is the remote
obligation; that is the record Windows produced.

The case now derives the owed lanes from the host the same way. On Windows
it also requires `ran: node --test 'app/(shop)/[id]/page.test.js'`: there the
route reaches the local run only through the manifest's whole path. With a
cut manifest path (page.test.js) the local set is empty, checked through
buildContext({ platform: 'win32' }) + selectLanes.

* test(ship-measure): give the CLI tests a private HOME (#3162)

Every bun run test left ~/.gstack/projects/ship-measure-cli-*/evals and
sweep-cli-fake-*/evals in the developer's real home, and the free-suite
runner flagged them ("real home changed ... Give the writer a private
HOME/GSTACK_HOME"). ship-measure's diagnostic-dir check calls
getProjectEvalDir(), which builds the eval dir from os.homedir(), and
these two CLI tests passed the real HOME while overriding only the
state root.

Both now set HOME and USERPROFILE to the test's own state dir. The
sweep test also runs on the Windows lane, where os.homedir() reads
USERPROFILE. test/ship-measure.test.ts:79 already gives its config test
a private HOME the same way. getProjectEvalDir() itself is unchanged:
whether eval history should follow GSTACK_HOME is left open in #3162.

.gstack/projects/leaked-slug/evals); passes with #3163.

* test(redact): isolate fixture git from inherited hooks

Fixture git was spawned with the parent environment, so a developer's
core.hooksPath ran on the local push and rejected it (#2967). The
helper blanks the global and system files and drops GIT_CONFIG_COUNT
and GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS. A hooksPath set in the fixture repo still runs.

* test(redact): blank GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL with /dev/null on every platform (#2967)

Follow-up to #3156 (adopted from Lockyer228): Git for Windows rejects
GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=NUL (the repo convention is EMPTY_GLOBAL_GIT_CONFIG =
'/dev/null' in lib/cso/process.ts), so both fixture helpers use /dev/null
everywhere. Reviewer test: a hooksPath in the default global files under
HOME/.gitconfig and XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config cannot reject the fixture
push; it fails with the inherited environment (the 47d639a behavior) and
passes with the isolated env.

* fix: gstack-config compares whole root paths and prints a runnable recovery command

- report_root_disagreement compared word-split values, so two variables naming
  the same directory with a space were reported as disagreeing. Compare each
  complete value instead.
- The privacy-key recovery hint single-quoted the root and left the script
  path bare; an apostrophe or space made it unrunnable. Quote with printf %q.
- On Bash 3.2 (macOS /bin/bash) a failed `.` under set -e exits before the
  `||` fallback, so a missing gstack-state-root.sh exited 1 silently and
  test/state-root-resolver-failure.test.ts failed there. Check readability first.
- The merge fixture now lives under a path with a space and an apostrophe,
  executes the printed command, and asserts same-directory variables agree.

* test(config): pin the %q-quoted recovery command and run it from a spaced install path

Follow-up to #3186 (adopted from davidfragnoli-lang). Intentional pin
change: the fix line's GSTACK_STATE_ROOT='<legacy>' pin becomes the exact
bash printf %q form of the legacy root (the PR loosened it to a prefix
check; this restores an exact pin) and the original test name is kept.
Reviewer test: copy bin/ to a path containing a space and an apostrophe;
the printed fix: command runs cleanly and flips the merged value. Fails on
47d639a (unquoted $_SELF), passes with #3186.

* test(gstack-gbrain-sync): fail when a star gitignore already ignores the pin

ensureGbrainSourceGitignored appends .gbrain-source even when git
check-ignore already excludes that path. The extra line dirties a
tracked ignore-everything gitignore.

* fix(gstack-gbrain-sync): skip the pin line when git already ignores it

ensureGbrainSourceGitignored asked only for a literal .gbrain-source
line. An ignore-everything star already excludes the pin, and the extra
line left the tracked gitignore dirty.

* fix(gbrain-sync): only a tracked .gitignore can stand in for the pin line

Follow-up to #3178 (adopted from KuroChen). The skip now requires
`git -c core.excludesFile= check-ignore -v` to name a tracked .gitignore
(not global excludes, not .git/info/exclude, not a negation), so a pin
ignored only on this machine still gets the shared line teammates need
(#1384). Tests: the two git init spawns get timeouts (they failed the
spawnSync tripwire), fixtures isolate HOME/XDG_CONFIG_HOME, and the PR's
star-gitignore fixture stages its .gitignore (intentional fixture change:
the contract is a tracked file). Reviewer tests: global excludes only,
info/exclude only, an untracked star .gitignore, and a re-include each

* fix(skill-end): log the completion event before the final drain (#3198)

gstack-skill-end drained and pushed before it appended its own completed
timeline event, and gstack-timeline-log backgrounded its enqueue, so a
full-tier end boundary returned with its latest event unpushed. The
completion log now runs before the drain and the logger waits for its
enqueue (one config read and a spool write; it exits early when sync is
off or the session is unattended). Every consent, secret-scan and
queue-lock gate is unchanged; the stale "local-only, never sent anywhere"
comment is replaced.

Patch and regression test from Kkkkkuro (#3198): 2 pass / 5 fail on
47d639a, 8/8 with the fix. Reviewer test: with artifacts_sync_mode off the
completion is written locally with no queue entry and no push.

* fix(pregate): map Next.js route paths and tsconfig path aliases to their tests

QUOTED excluded ( ) [ ] +, so a test naming app/(app)/page.tsx in a string
never matched. resolveRef never read tsconfig compilerOptions.paths, so an
import through @/ resolved to nothing. Both were PREGATE_NO_LANE false
negatives in a Next.js App Router repo whose tests did name the files.

* fix(pregate): TypeScript alias precedence, relative extends and a no-lane explanation

Follow-up to #3176 (adopted from vocodestudios). Path aliases now follow
TypeScript's choice: an exact pattern, else the wildcard with the longest
prefix, targets tried in order. When the chosen pattern resolves nothing,
every plausible reading (other matching patterns, baseUrl, the repo root)
gains the edge, so uncertainty selects more tests, never fewer. Relative
extends chains are followed up to MAX_TSCONFIG_EXTENDS (4) hops, with
baseUrl and paths resolved against the config that declares them.
Trailing commas are dropped by the JSONC tokenizer (never inside a string)
instead of a whole-text regex.

A touched file with no lane now gets explain lines naming the import
specifiers in test files that resolved to no repo file, any extends hop
that was not followed (with the limit), and the hint to declare the file
under dependencies or report the resolver gap. The lines ride testsFor's
provenance, which lanes already pushes to --explain.

Reviewer tests: overlapping aliases in both key orders, exact vs
wildcard, target fallback, the union case, a two-hop extends chain, a
string containing ',]', and the depth-limit explanation. Five fail on the
PR head; all 12 pass. The manifest-parser half of #3176's follow-up
(lane-selection.ts) ships in PR 2.

* fix(browse): reap PTY children on agent shutdown

* fix(browse): reap a terminal-agent PTY's whole process group at shutdown (#3147)

Follow-up to #3148 (adopted from Y4NN777). The PTY child leads its own
session and process group; its identity (pgid, sid, leader start time) is
recorded at spawn and stays checkable after the leader exits. Disposal
schedules a group reap after PTY_SHUTDOWN_GRACE_MS that, unlike the
direct-child SIGKILL fallback, is not cancelled when the leader exits, and
shutdown reaps every pending group before exiting, so descendants that
ignore SIGHUP no longer outlive the agent. Only proven members are
signalled: same pgid and sid, started no earlier than the leader, and
nothing at all when the leader's PID is held by a process with another
start time. Linux only (/proc); other platforms keep the direct-child
behavior. During the shutdown grace the server answers 503 and no new PTY
is spawned.

Test changes to the PR's own test (intentional): the agent is spawned
with process.execPath and the PTY child traps INT TERM HUP, so the case
proves the SIGKILL fallback instead of passing on the kernel hangup.
Reviewer tests: a HUP-immune grandchild is dead within the grace plus 1 s;
an early-exiting leader's surviving descendant is reaped; a session that
completed before shutdown still has its group reaped; unit cases for a
foreign group and a reused leader PID. All four integration cases fail on
47d639a; three fail on the PR head.

* test(model-policy): track the upload-artifact v7.0.2 pin from #3175

Intentional pin change: test/model-policy-workflow.test.ts asserted
actions/upload-artifact@043fb46d…; dependabot #3175 moves the workflow to
cf430e03… (v7.0.2, verified against the upstream tag). The pin tracks the
workflow. #3175's free-tests.yml hunk is left out of this PR (free-tests.yml
is a #3190 file; it is re-bumped in PR 5).

Reviewer test for dependabot #3175: the model-policy workflow's single
upload-artifact pin equals the pin evals.yml, evals-periodic.yml and
windows-free-tests.yml use, so a group bump that misses one workflow (or
the hard-coded pin above) is caught here.

* build(deps): hold Playwright minor/major bumps behind the windowsHide patch (#2923)

Dependabot #2923 bumped playwright to ^1.64.0 and dropped the
patchedDependencies entry keyed to playwright-core@1.62.1, which keeps
windowsHide on Windows (#2160, #1989). The bun ecosystem now ignores only
semver-minor and semver-major updates for playwright and playwright-core;
patch updates still flow. The 1.64 migration (re-key the patch, the
Dia/cookie qualification pins, the arm64 artifact name) is filed with
owner Garry, revisit 2026-11-15. Test fails on 47d639a (no ignore rule).

* docs(readme): drop the stale skill lists users pasted into CLAUDE.md (#3169)

README's install prompt and troubleshooting block each carried a skill
list for CLAUDE.md; both were stale (18 shipped skills missing) and they
disagreed. Claude Code lists installed skills itself, so both now keep
only the /browse rule, and the troubleshooting entry says to delete an
old pasted list. New free test: any comma-separated skill list in
README.md or CLAUDE.md must name exactly the shipped skills (with a
negative control for the detector). Fails on 47d639a; passes now.
Reported by the #3169 issue author. The matching doctor warning for
pasted lists ships in PR 5.

Intentional pin change: test/test-value-bar.test.ts no longer expects the
README skill list to name /test-audit twice; it now expects that list to
be gone (0 occurrences), the registration this commit removes on purpose.

* chore(osv): image-size has a fix; html-to-docx's ^1.0.0 pin blocks it (#2753)

The image-size ledger said no fixed release exists. OSV lists 2.0.3 as
fixed for GHSA-5p2g-fcmc-qvqq and GHSA-w3rx-r6r6-pgpr (checked against
api.osv.dev), but html-to-docx@1.8.0 pins image-size ^1.0.0 and there is
no fixed 1.x, so the fix is a cross-major override. Both entries now say
so and name the upgrade trigger; the 2026-11-30 expiry is kept. New test
checks the wording and that bun.lock still shows the stated pin (it fails
on 47d639a). Correction first raised on #2753 by sonukapoor.

* feat(ios-qa): forward GSTACK_IOS_LAUNCH_ENV to devicectl launches (#1796)

Reimplements only the launch-environment half of #1796 (credit
Bmathews721; the session-cache half is superseded by #3132's design and
had state-root and symlink-write problems). devicectl.ts parses
GSTACK_IOS_LAUNCH_ENV as a JSON object of string to string;
launchEnvArgs() returns the --environment-variables argv (empty when
unset or {}) and launchApp passes it before the bundle id. Invalid JSON, a
non-object, a non-string value, a bad name or a key in the debug bridge's
reserved GSTACK_ namespace refuses before any launch with the new result
code IOS_LAUNCH_ENV_INVALID (the detail names keys and types, never
values). launchEnvArgs is exported for the forced-relaunch path in
tunnel-bootstrap.ts.

Adds the result-code row (bin/gstack-doctor-components.sh regenerated by
gen:skill-docs), a troubleshooting entry under its exact text, the
pregate-no-lane entry's explain note, and the how-to section with an
example. New test fails on 47d639a (module load: no parseLaunchEnv).

* fix(deps): declare sharp and clear two transitive advisories

sharp is imported in four files, including browse/src/screenshot-size-guard.ts,
and test/dependency-security.test.ts asserts a >=0.35.4 floor on it and loads
it. It was declared in no dependency field, reaching the tree only through
@huggingface/transformers with the overrides pin forcing the version. Declare it
at ^0.35.4, matching the floor that test already asserts.

Upgrade @huggingface/transformers to ^4.3.0, which clears sprintf-js@1.1.3 and
aligns the sharp override with what the parent declares: 4.2.0 declared
sharp ^0.34.5 while the override pins 0.35.5, which is outside that range, and
4.3.0 declares ^0.35.4.

Upgrade @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk to 0.2.141, which clears
@anthropic-ai/sdk@0.81.0.

The existing overrides entry for sharp is left in place.

* test(deps): sharp is declared and its override satisfies every asking range

Reviewer test for #3145 (adopted from sonukapoor): sharp must be a
declared dependency, and the pinned overrides.sharp must satisfy both
that declaration and every lockfile package that depends on sharp
(@huggingface/transformers included). Fails on 47d639a (sharp not
declared; transformers 4.2.0 asked for ^0.34.5 against a 0.35.5 pin).

Classifier smoke on the changed tree (transformers 4.3.0,
onnxruntime-node 1.30.0, sharp 0.35.5, claude-agent-sdk 0.2.141): the real
sidecar entry bundled for Node with a private state root, and the
classifier in-process under Bun, each downloaded the TestSavantAI model
fresh, reported testsavant: ok, and returned scores identical to
47d639a's tree on five inputs, including a >512-token input that
exercises the truncation override. dependency-security, deps-smoke,
overlay-sdk-cancel-eof, security-classifier and screenshot-size-guard
pass; typecheck:test reports no new diagnostics.

* fix(gbrain-sync): the no-bash skip names GSTACK_GIT_BASH and how to set it (#3197)

The brain-sync stage's Windows skip line told users to set GSTACK_BASH.
After the fix wave the canonical override is GSTACK_GIT_BASH, with
GSTACK_BASH as a deprecated alias (plan correction 9). The summary is now
the exported NO_BASH_SUMMARY: it names GSTACK_GIT_BASH first and GSTACK_BASH
as the old name, and gives the two recipes that reach Claude Code (a
PowerShell user environment variable plus a Claude Code restart, or the
"env" block of ~/.claude/settings.json).

Minimal on purpose: once PR 2 lands, this switches to
lib/script-invocation.ts noBashMessage(). Until then lib/gbrain-exec.ts
still reads only GSTACK_BASH, so this line is accurate only with PR 2
merged first.

New test test/gbrain-sync-no-bash-message.test.ts fails on the previous
commit (NO_BASH_SUMMARY not exported) and passes now.
Handoff from Lane C (PR 2).

* fix(ios-qa): the forced relaunch carries GSTACK_IOS_LAUNCH_ENV too (#1796)

bootstrapTunnel's relaunchApp (an app whose boot token an earlier daemon
consumed is relaunched once with --terminate-existing) built its own
devicectl argv and dropped GSTACK_IOS_LAUNCH_ENV, so an env-gated debug
bridge vanished after the one relaunch the howto says carries it. It now
uses launchEnvArgs(); an invalid value refuses the relaunch with
launch_failed and the IOS_LAUNCH_ENV_INVALID detail before anything is
terminated.

Two new tests in ios-qa/daemon/test/devicectl-launch-env.test.ts drive
bootstrapTunnel through a consumed-token device: both fail on the previous
commit (relaunch argv lacks --environment-variables; the invalid value
still terminates and relaunches) and pass now. ios-qa daemon: 167 pass.
tunnel-bootstrap.ts was assigned to Lane D by the coordinator for this fix.

* ci(version-gate): check the version queue only on PRs into main

Stacked layer PRs carry no VERSION stamp by design (the release layer stamps

queue and its collision rule only describe main; a PR into main is still
checked exactly as before.

* test(browse): scope the SIGTERM PTY-reap case to POSIX signals (#3147)

windows-free-tests run 38813751242 (shard 6) failed "SIGTERM reaps every
active PTY child before terminal-agent exits" with "timed out waiting for
pty-child.pid", serially and on retry.

Diagnosis: invalid test expectation on Windows, not an agent defect the
test can observe. The contract under test is the agent's graceful
shutdown, its process.on('SIGTERM'/'SIGINT') cleanup in terminal-agent.ts.
On Windows, Bun's subprocess.kill('SIGTERM') is libuv's TerminateProcess,
so that handler never runs there; and the PTY fixture is an extension-less
`#!/bin/bash` script, which CreateProcess cannot launch, so the child never
starts (the timeout is at the pid file, after the port, token, grant and
WebSocket all succeeded). The file's other integration cases were already
Linux-scoped; this one now skips only on win32 and still runs on Linux and
macOS. The pure ownership unit tests in the file keep running on Windows.

Open, not covered by any test: whether a ConPTY child outlives a
hard-terminated agent on Windows. Testing it needs a Windows-launchable
terminal fixture, which BROWSE_TERMINAL_BINARY (one executable, fixed argv)
cannot express without a product change.

* fix(plan-review): bound the native outside voice without TaskOutput (#3182)

Claude Code 2.1.277 removed TaskOutput, so the plan-review native fallback's
preflight always failed and users without the Codex CLI never got a second
voice. The fallback now uses primitives the host still enforces: a background
`sleep 300` Bash timer (its exit re-invokes the parent; the 2.1.300 sleep block
applies only to foreground commands), a background Plan dispatch whose
completion arrives as a <task-notification>, and TaskStop for whichever task
loses. Only a matching completed notification that beats the timer counts;
interim ("is waiting on its own background work"), turn-limit, foreground and
late results get no credit. The "[Subagent hand-back]" header (2.1.277) is
treated as framing.

The unavailable line now names its cause and fix, ends with
OUTSIDE_VOICE_UNAVAILABLE (new result code + troubleshooting entry), and the
review-log row carries unavailable_reason. The bounded-wait prose was
tightened so plan-ceo-review and plan-eng-review stay under their existing
size ceilings (no ratchet raise for this item).

Intentional pin change: test/run-in-background-guidance.test.ts
hasBoundedOutsideVoiceWait and the dispatch-contract cases now pin the
timer/notification/TaskStop contract instead of TaskOutput's envelope.
bin/gstack-doctor-components.sh is regenerated from lib/result-codes.ts.

* feat(bin): gstack-ceo-plan-find locates the CEO plan for a branch (#280)

/plan-ceo-review saves its scope decisions under the state root's
ceo-plans/, but no plan review can find them: only /design-html reads
that directory, newest file first. This helper is the CEO-plan sibling of
gstack-design-doc-find, so /plan-eng-review can call one command instead
of a glob in prose.

It prints the newest top-level plan whose "Branch:" header names the
branch, compared the way gstack-slug writes BRANCH (feat/x matches
feat-x), else the newest plan, else nothing. Subdirectories are not
read. A usage error exits 2.

* fix(plan-eng-review): read the CEO plan in the Design Doc Check (#280)

/plan-eng-review never looked in ceo-plans/, so an eng review after
/plan-ceo-review ran without the scope that review accepted, deferred or
skipped. capy-ai closed #414 asking for this focused fix, and TODOS.md
scopes it as a gstack-ceo-plan-find sibling of gstack-design-doc-find.

The Design Doc Check now prints "CEO plan found: <path>" or "No CEO plan
found" after the design doc line, and the prose says what to read the
plan for. The data-not-instructions rule names the CEO plan too, since
another agent may have written it. Only plan-eng-review changes: the
shared {{DESIGN_DOC_DISCOVERY}} block and the branch-scoped review log
are untouched. Reported by @chancheuklap in #280.

main left plan-eng-review 4 bytes under its parity cap, so the +325
bytes raise maxSizeRatio to the measured 1.2196, noted the way earlier
growth was.

* fix(plan-eng-review): disclose a CEO plan borrowed from another branch (#280)

Review changes on top of #3159 (szsunyuan / y$un_):
- gstack-ceo-plan-find keeps stdout a bare path or empty; when it falls back
  to another branch's plan it prints one stderr line,
  "CEO plan found (from branch <b>, not <current>): <path>", with control
  characters stripped from the plan header ("unknown" when it has none).
- The Design Doc Check tells an interactive reviewer to ask before using such
  a plan, and a spawned session to use it and quote the disclosure.
- The Design Doc Check prose is tightened so plan-eng-review fits the
  owner-approved 1.2196 ceiling (measured 151,950 / 124,597 = 1.2195).

Reviewer tests: test/ceo-plan-find-cross-branch.test.ts (5 of 7 fail on the

#3159 head). The design-doc finder's matching disclosure stays deferred.

* fix(test): credit abutting section chunks whose edge bytes repeat (#3182)

detectSectionReads trims the longest suffix/prefix overlap between
consecutive Bash outputs. Two chunks that abut exactly (tail -c +N after a
chunk ending at N-1) can share an edge byte by chance; the trim then drops a
real byte and a fully printed section reads as incomplete. #3182's
review-sections edit moved plan-ceo-review's 66,999-byte boundary onto
"cur|rent", which turned the existing byte-range test red. The detector now
also checks the plain concatenation; a gap still refuses.

Detector/fixture defect, not a product change. New regression case in
test/section-capture-native-tools.test.ts fails without the fix.

* fix(qa): probe each documented input rule, not only its boundary values

The paid gate's qa-functional-cli-report run (38829994639) probed zero and an
unsafe integer but never a non-digit amount, so it missed the planted
parseInt defect ("Amounts contain only ASCII digits") and reported no
defect. The functional contract map's invalid-input row now asks for one
probe per documented input rule (allowed characters, format, sign, range,
arity).

test/qa-functional-prompt.test.ts replays a captured CI Read of
system-functional.md; its completed-method variant now feeds the current
section bytes, so the validator check keeps its omitted/pending negative
controls without pinning the old wording.

+8 28f1385eac v1.91.32.0 fix: Codex works from zsh, free text never enters shell commands, honest failures (#3057)
* fix: sourced helpers locate themselves under zsh (#3024)

Skill blocks source bin/gstack-codex-probe and bin/gstack-egress-lib.sh into
the host's shell. Under zsh (macOS default) BASH_SOURCE is empty, so Codex
model selection resolved /../scripts/... and every outside pass reported
CODEX_MODEL: invalid; the egress lib resolved to the caller's cwd. Resolve
the file once at source time (BASH_SOURCE under bash, %x under zsh), and
replace the bash-only ${!name} indirection in the auth probe. A free test
derives every sourced helper from the generated skills and sources each
under bash and zsh.

* fix: reply and issue templates never pass untrusted text in double quotes (#3046)

greptile-triage's reply APIs posted -f body="<reply text>" while the
templates quote SHAs and diff code in backticks; in double quotes bash ran
each span (replies posted as 'Fixed in .', and diff or reviewer text ran as
a command). The pre-existing-failure issue template and /spec's issue title
had the same shape. All three now go through quoted heredocs. The
generated-bash lint gains untrusted-in-quotes and now also covers runtime
reference docs in skill directories (review/greptile-triage.md).

* fix: a Codex usage limit is its own state, not 'inconclusive; proceeding' (#3051)

The model probe matched only model and broken-install errors, so a usage or
rate limit fell through to MODEL_PROBE_INCONCLUSIVE: Codex's own message
(with the reset time) was dropped, the hint pointed at model config, and
every later skill re-probed for 30 s. The probe now returns
MODEL_QUOTA_EXHAUSTED (exit 4) on a failed, non-timeout call that names a
usage limit, rate limit, insufficient_quota or 429, relays Codex's line
verbatim and caches it for 15 minutes. Preflights map it to
CODEX_MODE: quota_exhausted (missing coverage, no further Codex calls), and
classifyOutsideReview reports a mid-run limit as unavailable (quota) with
its own troubleshooting anchor.

* test: record ship/review union sizes after the quota branch and issue template

* fix: Codex watchdog freezes the command before reaping its children

The bash-native watchdog (stock macOS, no timeout binary) ran pkill -P on
the command's children and then killed the command. Between the two, the
command continued past its killed child and printed output after its
deadline. Stop it first. The test's minimal PATH also lacked pkill, which
the watchdog uses to reap children (stock macOS ships it), so the orphaned
child held stdout open and the capture waited out its sleep.

* fix(autoplan): an oversize session journal is a hard too_large denial, not a retryable identity failure (#3050)

The guard capped journal reads at 32 MiB and reported a longer journal as
'identity', which the hook treats as deny-and-retry. A journal only grows,
so /autoplan could never enter Phase 1 in a long session, and the
troubleshooting row sent people chasing symlinks. Oversize journals now
report too_large as a hard cause that names the size and the supported
fallback (run the reviews by hand or start a new session).

* fix(deps): clear the weekly OSV findings (#3040)

Raise overrides to fixed releases: ip-address 10.7.3 (our own pin was the
vulnerable 10.3.1; reachable through socks in browse's proxy path),
fast-uri 3.1.8, hono 4.13.13, proxy-addr 2.0.8, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
1.31.0, sharp 0.35.5, and in lib/diagram-render dompurify 3.4.16 (bundled
by mermaid) and source-map-js 1.2.2; the render page is rebuilt. Three
advisories without a usable fix get justified, expiring ignores: braces
(build-time only, excalidraw -> sass -> chokidar; a test checks the page
carries no chokidar code), sprintf-js (roarr's constant-format logger) and
katex (needs pre-existing prototype pollution; fix outside mermaid's range).
osv-scanner with the repo config: no issues found.

* fix(autoplan): name a shell-built snapshot init as the cause of the missing-evidence denial (#3045)

The guard binds a phase entry only to a literal snapshot-init Bash call.
When the model resolved the tool path into a variable, chained or piped the
call, init ran and succeeded but the denial said 'Complete the existing
snapshot init step', which reads as already done, so the run gave up. When
no init binds but a Bash call looks like one, the denial now says the shape
cannot be bound and prints the literal re-run (answers reused:true). The
binding rule is unchanged, and the skill says to run init on its own.

* fix(browse): chain reads piped stdin synchronously, so Windows runs the flow (#3039)

On Windows, an awaited Bun.stdin.text() inside the CLI's un-awaited main()
let the process exit 0 before reading stdin: a replayed flow reported
success with nothing sent to the daemon. Read fd 0 synchronously (skipped
for a terminal); empty input now gets the server's usage error and a
non-zero exit.

* fix(browse): clearer config-mismatch refusal and a WebGL note for the macOS GPU flags (#3030)

A plain call refused because another session started the daemon with
--headed/--proxy was told to 'apply --proxy/--headed', flags it never
passed. It now says who started the daemon and offers both remedies. The
BROWSER.md env table notes that the default macOS GPU flags disable WebGL
and that GSTACK_DISABLE_GPU=off restores it for WebGL QA.

* fix(ship): skip Greptile triage when no PR exists yet (#3020)

/ship's first run on a branch dispatched a triage subagent only to learn
there was no PR. Step 10 now checks for a PR inline (gh's 'no pull requests
found') and records that Greptile runs on the PR once it exists; other gh
errors still dispatch so the child can report unavailable.

* fix(router): route only to loaded skills, and say when not to invoke (#3018)

The root router listed every skill and ended 'When in doubt, invoke the
skill'. Current Claude models follow that literally: they tried to invoke
skills a user had turned off in Claude Code's skillOverrides (which gstack's
own disabled_skills render cannot see), and borderline requests tipped into
full workflows. The router now routes only to skills in the session's
available-skills list and names when to answer directly; the CLAUDE.md
routing block skill-start offers says the same.

* fix: spawned sessions never auto-grant consent or publish off the machine (#3016)

Spawned sessions auto-choose the recommended option except for destructive
or irreversible choices. Main already withholds the artifacts-sync consent
prompt from spawned sessions; the remaining gap was any other prompt whose
recommended option grants a consent or syncs data off the machine. Every
spawned directive (skill-start's block, the escape sentence, the Conductor
deny reason and the AUQ-error fallback) now names that as irreversible. A
consent the user already gave interactively stays in force.

* test: fix the spawned-block slice and type the #3045 re-init events

* fix(redact): TypeScript types and JSX expressions are code, not env.kv secrets (#3048)

A credential-named parameter or prop with an unquoted code value
(`session: SessionState,`, `key={turn.requestId + turn.role}`,
`apiKey={settings.apiKey}`) cleared the entropy gate and blocked pushes as
a MEDIUM env.kv finding. One rule replaces the PR's two keyword heuristics:
a value that reads as a code name (no digits, word-like camelCase or dotted
parts) with a code terminator, or a brace expression of such names with no
quoted literal, is source syntax. Paired controls keep firing on quoted,
brace-wrapped, concatenated, YAML-bare and random-letter literals.

* fix(setup): refuse to register a hook that does not parse (#3032)

Claude Code runs gstack's hook shims through /bin/sh; a shim that does not
parse exits 2, which for a PreToolUse hook blocks the tool call in every
session until someone finds the file. Before any hook registration is
healed or written, setup now runs bash -n on each registered shim and a Bun
parse of its TypeScript entry, and stops with the file, line and fix. A
lean rewrite of the PR's idea (one gate block plus a test that runs it).

* fix(browse): Windows runtime roots start the server from the source checkout's bundle (#3026)

On Windows a host runtime root (~/.codex/skills/gstack and the other
env-var hosts) holds file copies of browse/dist and no node_modules, so
its server-node.mjs could not import playwright and every browser skill
died (the module-scope server.ts half was fixed in v1.91.19.0). setup now
records the source checkout in every runtime root's .source-path, and the
CLI runs that checkout's bundle when the adjacent one cannot reach
playwright. Verified by unit layout tests and the Windows CI lane, not
live on Windows.

* fix(copilot): on Windows, run bash blocks in Git for Windows Bash (#3047)

Copilot CLI on Windows ran gstack's extensionless helpers straight from
PowerShell, which opened an app picker, and bare bash can resolve to WSL.
The Copilot tool glossary (rendered into every Copilot skill) now says to
run each bash block in Git for Windows Bash by its full path and never to
translate a block into PowerShell. The PR's PowerShell repair skill and
README section are not taken.

* test: record ship's union size after the Greptile no-PR check

* fix: keep issue numbers out of model-read Copilot text; seed the new routing sentence in the autoplan fixture

* docs: Oct 6 fix-wave plan, reviewed through /autoplan

* fix(autoplan): every oversize-journal path reports too_large with a recovery that keeps the work

Review follow-up to the #3050 fix. The summed batch read and the narrowed
parent loop now report too_large with the real size instead of a plain
error naming a hard-coded 32 MiB. The denial names the size and the cap,
and gives the recovery that keeps work (/context-save, new session,
/context-restore, /autoplan) with a docs anchor. A test seam that can only
lower the cap replaces the 33 MiB fixture.

* test(autoplan): negative controls and more shapes for the shell-built init denial

* fix(redact): decide TS/JSX source syntax by file context, not by value shape

Review follow-up to the #3048 fix. The word-shape heuristic also exempted
real secrets made of words (API_KEY=VelvetRiverOrbitSunset; in a .env).
The scanner now takes the file path (ScanOptions.sourcePath): the pre-push
hook scans the pushed diff per file with its +++ b/ path, and gstack-redact
--from-file passes its path. Only in a TypeScript/JSX file is an unquoted
value after ':' or a JSX brace of names treated as source; the same line in
.env/YAML, or with no path, is scanned as a literal, and the jwt pattern
still fires in .ts files.

* docs: gstack's own CLAUDE.md routing block matches the new router wording

Live check (Claude Code 2.1.284): a skill set to "off" in skillOverrides
is absent from the session's skill list while its sibling is listed, and
both are listed without the override, so 'route only to skills in your
available-skills list' holds.

* fix(sync-gbrain): don't offer a call-graph build for a source with no code pages (#3029)

Step 3.5 offered --dream for any source with pages, including one that
holds only markdown (synced with gbrain's default strategy), where a build
cannot help, and the injected CLAUDE.md guidance told future sessions to run
--dream for any count: 0. On gbrain >= 0.60, code-def for an impossible
symbol answers .status (probed live against gbrain 0.60.96: ready for a
code source, out_of_scope for a markdown-only one). Step 3.5 now probes the
pinned source first, reports the cause instead of asking on out_of_scope,
and keeps today's offer when the probe is unknown (older gbrain, an error).
gstack's own sync uses --strategy code, so the PR's soft-delete claim does
not apply to gstack's path.

* fix(setup): register the hooks that parse, refuse the rest with file:line (#3032)

The landed gate stopped setup before any registration, so one unparseable
hook left every other hook unregistered. On the Claude install the canonical
root is the checkout Claude Code runs hooks from, so there is no staged swap
to abort: setup now registers the hooks that parse, refuses the ones that do
not with file and line, finishes the install and exits non-zero, saying it
is a gstack bug and that a skipped hook keeps running from the checkout.

bin/gstack-hook-check derives its list from setup's _hook_command_path calls
plus the autoplan phase-publication hook (a test keeps them equal), parses
each shim with its shebang's interpreter, and bundles each TypeScript entry
with its local imports (packages external) into a temp dir, so a broken or
missing import, or a missing entry, fails.

* fix(auto-update): hold an update whose hooks do not parse, before the checkout moves

bin/gstack-session-update fast-forwards the live checkout before setup runs,
and Claude Code runs hooks straight from it, so setup's gate cannot protect
an auto-update. After the Bun floor check the updater extracts the incoming
revision with git archive and runs bin/gstack-hook-check on it; a failure
holds the update like bun-too-old, records hook-does-not-parse with file:line
in the update status, and the next session start says the current hooks keep
running. Fixture-remote tests cover a broken shim, a broken imported module
and a parseable control.

* fix(browse): chain with no flow is a usage error before any daemon boots (#3039)

Empty piped input, a terminal with no arguments, and a readFileSync(0)
error (EAGAIN, EOF) now print the chain usage with the cause and its
troubleshooting link and exit 1 before ensureServer(), instead of sending
an empty argument to a daemon the CLI booted for it. Tests run the real CLI
with no daemon and no browser, plus the stub-daemon flow.

* fix(browse): refuse a runtime-root CLI and checkout server from different builds (#3026)

A Windows runtime root runs the source checkout's Node server bundle through
.source-path. When the root's CLI and the checkout's bundle carry different
browse/dist/.version builds (the checkout was rebuilt without refreshing the
root), the CLI now refuses to start the server with both builds, the
./setup fix and its troubleshooting anchor. Unversioned dev builds are not
called skew.

Co-authored-by: ubay887 <ubay887@users.noreply.github.com>

* ci(windows): real isolated ./setup install, then a piped chain flow through the installed browse

windows-setup-e2e built the checkout but never ran ./setup. It now installs
the codex host into an isolated HOME (a runtime root copy with no
node_modules), then from an unrelated directory pipes a two-command chain
flow at a loopback page into the installed browse and asserts the page text,
and that empty piped input exits 1 with the usage error. Covers the
checkout-bundle path and the piped-stdin path end to end.

* test(lint): free text never enters a generated command (structural rule)

The generated-bash lint's untrusted-in-quotes rule (gh/glab/git/curl text
flags in double quotes only) becomes free-text-placeholder: any <placeholder>
anywhere in any command, in double, single or no quotes, and in heredoc
bodies (quoted or not), unless it is on the reviewed identifier allowlist
(test/helpers/placeholder-allowlist.ts) with the grammar a value must match.
Quoted-only identifiers (URLs, selectors, paths printed by gstack) must sit
inside quotes. Backslash-newline continuations now read as one command, so
a flag and its value on separate lines are still seen together.

* fix: reply, issue and spec text travel as agent-written files, never through a heredoc

Replaces the quoted-heredoc bodies with CEO-12's file mechanism: a bash
block creates a private mktemp file in the project's .gstack/tmp/ (kept out
of git through .git/info/exclude), the agent writes the text with its
file-write tool, and the next block posts with -F body=@file, --body-file
or "$(cat file)". A heredoc ends early at any body line equal to its
delimiter; a file has no such line. When the file was never written the
block refuses with the path and the command to send it by hand, and it
deletes the file after a successful post.

- review/greptile-triage.md: replies; the fetched JSON moves from fixed
  /tmp/greptile_*.json paths to a mktemp directory; REPO and PR are
  re-derived per block instead of read from a previous shell.
- Test-failure issues: title and body files, platform case on
  github/gitlab, assignee only when it is a valid login.
- /spec: one draft file feeds the audit hash, every redaction scan, the
  issue and the archive; the archive no longer expands <title>/<body>
  inside an unquoted heredoc; the decision-log JSON is built by jq from
  files.

Location verified against Claude Code 2.1.284 (Dockerfile.ci pin):
project-local .gstack/tmp is writable under acceptEdits with no prompt and
keeps mode 0600; $TMPDIR and the gstack state root prompt even under
acceptEdits.

* fix(ship): Greptile triage runs only when a PR exists; every other case says why

PR: unknown (gh missing, not logged in, a non-GitHub remote, or a failed
lookup) used to dispatch the triage child anyway. The Step 10 check now
tests gh, its login, the remote and the PR in that order, and every case
but 'PR: exists' skips the dispatch and records
'Greptile: not run (<reason>); runs on the PR once it exists'.

* fix: question-tuning commands carry no free text

The question log took the summary in single quotes and the preference write
took the user's own words; an apostrophe ended the quote and the rest ran as
shell. The summary is now a kebab-case slug (an identifier with a grammar),
and the optional free_text field is no longer passed from skills (the
binary still accepts it).

* fix(cso): Windows finds docker.exe only under known-folder roots and says transport is unsupported (#3028)

On Windows /cso looked for docker only in Git's directory and System32, so
Docker Desktop was never found and the gap read as 'not installed'. It now
resolves Program Files, Program Files (x86) and the Windows directory through
PowerShell's [Environment]::GetFolderPath (not the process environment),
checks each candidate's real path against those roots and rejects reparse
points. lib/cso/docker.ts admits only unix:/// endpoints, so a trusted
docker.exe reports 'native Windows Docker transport is not supported yet;
static assessment only'; one outside the roots is refused as outside the
trusted install locations, not overridable. Both carry an anchor. Native
named-pipe transport is not implemented.

* fix: sourced helpers share one self-locate block and fail loudly when they cannot locate themselves (#3024 rework)

The codex probe and the egress lib now carry one byte-identical block:
BASH_SOURCE under bash or %x under zsh, made absolute with $PWD, else a set
GSTACK_ROOT that holds the helper. Anything else (dash, sh, a shell that
cannot name the file) prints "gstack: cannot locate <helper> (shell: ...)"
with the docs/troubleshooting.md#sourced-helper-location URL and returns
before any bash- or zsh-only syntax. The Claude-only default path and the
$(pwd) fallback are gone.

The generated Codex preflight dot-sources the probe and, when it cannot load,
reports CODEX_MODE: helper_unavailable with the helper's own line instead of
falling through to not_authed. The class guard enumerates nested sources,
makes real resolver, auth, state-root and egress-home calls under bash and
zsh (absolute, relative then cd, bare name via PATH), covers dash and an
unknown shell, runs the full preflight, and lints BASH_SOURCE to the shared
block plus other bash-only constructs.

* fix(cso): a Maven or Gradle repository is Java, not Python (#3028)

With no supported stack metadata, preparation defaulted to Python and asked
a Java repository for requirements.txt. A root pom.xml, build.gradle or
build.gradle.kts now names the stack as Java (unsupported for runtime
preparation, so the prerequisite says so), and Python helper scripts or a
root requirements.txt beside it no longer make it Python.

* fix(browse): BROWSER.md says plainly how to enable WebGL; the mismatch refusal links Daemon discipline (#3030)

The GSTACK_DISABLE_GPU row now states the effect and the switch: set
GSTACK_DISABLE_GPU=off to enable WebGL (off is the only recognized value).
The reworded config-mismatch refusal links BROWSER.md's Daemon discipline
section. Free tests pin both.

* test(windows): name the B2, B4, B5 and B12 tests in the curated Windows lane

The runtime-root bundle tests lived in browse/test/config.test.ts and the
Copilot glossary test in test/host-config.test.ts, both excluded from the
Windows lane, so the two Windows-only fixes were never checked on Windows.
Move each into its own Windows-safe file (unchanged assertions) and list it,
the piped-stdin chain test and the /cso docker.exe discovery test as named
Windows coverage in scripts/lib/windows-curation.ts.

* fix: the free-text block exits loudly when mktemp fails; spec and redact tests follow the file mechanism

The redact resolver test, the #2679 mktemp guard test, the /spec invariant
and the spec secret-sink harness pinned the heredoc transport. They now pin
the agent-written file: the harness runs the draft-file block, writes the
draft the way the file-write tool would, then runs the real scan fence, with
every HIGH/MEDIUM/scanner-failure assertion unchanged.

* test: hostile payloads through the generated posting blocks, identifier grammars, every quoting shape

- The lint reads a whole command, so an unquoted multi-word placeholder is
  caught; negative controls cover double, single and no quotes, quoted and
  unquoted heredocs, continuation lines, and quoted-only identifiers used
  unquoted.
- Every allowlisted grammar rejects quote-breaking characters (and shell
  operators and whitespace when used unquoted); git accepts 'fix;id' and
  'fix`id`' as branch names, the ref grammar does not.
- Greptile replies, test-failure issues (GitHub and GitLab) and /spec filing
  and archive run from the real generated text with stub gh/glab: a body
  with backticks, $(...), an apostrophe and lines equal to EOF and the old
  heredoc delimiters arrives byte for byte, nothing in it runs, and the temp
  file is gone. An unwritten file is refused with its path and the manual
  command, and nothing is sent.

* test(ship): the PR check precedes the Greptile dispatch, and each skip names its reason

Runs Step 10's generated check against stub gh for gh missing, not logged
in, a non-GitHub remote, no PR, a failed lookup and an existing PR. Fails on
the previous text (which printed PR: unknown and dispatched).

* feat(ship): ship-measure runner for the measure-then-fix loop (A6)

scripts/ship-measure.ts owns /ship's diagnostic measurement of a red eval
case: per-kind aggregation (rule trials; behavior panels of 3, each at its
own 2 of 3 plus 90% of trials; judge outputs scored by 3-sample panels,
standalone judge ids accepted), one artifact directory per baseline,
repair round and trial, a diagnostic label with verdict null that refuses
the eval history dir, an estimated admission budget that reserves every
concurrent trial and reconciles actual cost, the ask-once rule, the
repair-round limit, the unmeasured skip and the per-case PR table.

Free-suite flakes (CEO-1): 'free' reruns one shard's exact file list N
times, rerun 1 alone as the baseline and the rest in parallel at
max(1, floor(cores / shard concurrency)), each with its own HOME, state
root and flake ledger, GSTACK_FREE_RETRY_FLAKY=0, under a wall cap that
reports a partial count. test:ubicloud --diagnostic runs the same on one
VM with the retry off.

bin/gstack-config gains the DX-7 keys with their CEO-9 defaults and
rejecting validators. Free tests drive every kind, the budget stop, the
unmeasured skip and the free reruns with fake runners.

* fix: a Codex usage limit is quota_exhausted, a plain 429 is rate_limited, and only Codex's own error lines count (#3051 rework)

The probe's quota signature used to treat any rate limit, "too many
requests" or 429 as quota, and read the whole output, which echoes the
prompt. Now only Codex's trailing ERROR: / stream error lines are read.
A usage-limit or insufficient_quota line is MODEL_QUOTA_EXHAUSTED (exit 4,
cached 15 minutes; quota wins over a 429 that names insufficient_quota); a
plain 429 is MODEL_PROBE_RATE_LIMITED (exit 0, state rate_limited, never
cached), reported as CODEX_MODE: unverified (rate_limited) so the review
still runs and decides.

The quota HINT says how many minutes gstack skips Codex and how to retry
now (GSTACK_CODEX_PROBE_RETRY=1 skips the negative cache for that probe, or
delete <state root>/.codex-model-probe), with the full troubleshooting URL.
classifyOutsideReview reads the same trailing lines: a mid-review quota is
unavailable (quota_exhausted), a mid-review 429 unavailable (rate_limited).
New gate row rate_limited and docs anchor codex-rate-limited; the quota row
documents the retry. Tests cover each line shape, the echoed prompt, exit
0, timeout, retry recovery, probe/classifier parity, and two fresh-shell
preflight blocks where the second makes no paid Codex call.

* ci: the eval image installs zsh, and the macOS lane sources the Codex probe from zsh

Dockerfile.ci adds zsh so the sourced-helper guard runs (and fails loudly
when zsh is missing) inside the eval container too. The macOS named
regressions job sources bin/gstack-codex-probe from zsh in an unrelated
directory and runs _gstack_codex_select_model exec (no paid call), then runs
the sourced-helper guard on the macOS runner. A free test pins both lanes and
runs the macOS step's script locally.

* test: deterministic regression for the Codex watchdog freezing the command before reaping its children

The existing stubborn-child test caught the reap-then-kill race only some of
the time (2 of 3 runs on the pre-fix watchdog). A pkill that sleeps after
reaping widens the window between reaping the children and killing the
command, so a watchdog that does not SIGSTOP the command first always lets
it print "late" after the deadline. Fails 3 of 3 on the pre-fix watchdog,
passes 3 of 3 on the current one.

* test: live codex smokes run codex in a private HOME and CODEX_HOME

codex-resume-flag-semantics and codex-e2e-sol-scope probe the codex CLI (the
latter at module load, in every free run), and every codex run writes
$CODEX_HOME/tmp/arg0, so with a real codex on PATH they wrote into the
developer's ~/.codex. Both now give codex a private HOME and CODEX_HOME and
remove it afterwards. A free test runs each file against a stub codex that
records HOME and CODEX_HOME and asserts neither is the caller's.

* feat(ship): a red eval runs classify, measure, fix, re-measure, gate once (A6)

Step 6 no longer stops at the first red paid eval: it reads the new lazily
loaded measure section and runs the loop for each red case, and Step 5
measures a failed free-suite shard (diagnostic reruns, retry off) before
the triage can call it pre-existing. The section states the diagnostic-
not-verdict rule, the per-kind table, the ask-once and named-red stops,
the unmeasured label and the honest-fix wording (observed k/n after fix
at <cause>). A free test pins the steps and their order in the generated
skill and checks every command and flag it names exists in the runner.

Ship's parity cap rises to 1.455 (measured 272,944 / 187,706 = 1.4541).

* docs(testing): diagnostic measurement is not a verdict; per-kind measure table (A6)

* test(ship): seeded-flake paid case for the measure loop (A6, periodic, behavior)

A fixture repo with no remote documents a single-case eval command and a
gate command, both free local stubs. queue-priorities claims trial slots
with atomic mkdir (reset per ship-measure round) and fails slots 2, 5 and
9 while src/priorities.js leaves its seed-shuffled list unsorted, printing
failure_cause and failure_detail that name the line. The paid case gives
/ship's generated Step 6 and measure section to a live session and asserts
it measured the case alone, fixed the named line without touching the
eval, re-measured at least 10 passing trials on the sorted file, and only
then ran the gate once; any question other than the spend question is a
contract violation.

A free test measures the fixture through the real ship-measure CLI: 7/10
unsorted, 7/10 after an unrelated edit with the gate still red (ENG-13's
negative control), 10/10 after the sort with the gate green.

* test(cso): the missing-scanner case points Docker at a dead socket

'an optional scanner prerequisite does not turn completed manual coverage
partial' assumed no usable Docker. On a machine with Docker and a pulled
gitleaks image the scan completed and the test failed (also on main). The
scan step now gets a DOCKER_HOST that cannot connect, which is the
prerequisite-missing condition the test describes.

* fix: Aside prompts travel as agent-written files, never inside the command

The open-ended reading recipe (browse, devex-review), scrape's fuzzy-intent
read and the shared web-research block put the model's question, query and
reply format inside a double-quoted _aside_exec argument, where backticks and
$(...) from page or repo text would run. The agent now writes the prompt into
a private .gstack/tmp file; the send block rebuilds the path from the printed
basename, refuses when the file is empty, and passes "$(cat "$PROMPT_FILE")".
The fixed read-only sentence stays in the shell source.

aside-driver pins move from the inline prompt to the file-based send block.

* fix: design briefs and approval feedback travel as agent-written files

Design briefs went into $D variants/generate/check as a double-quoted
argument, and approval feedback was spliced into a single-quoted echo of JSON,
so a quote, backtick or $(...) in either broke the command or ran. The agent
now writes each brief into a private .gstack/tmp file and the block passes
--brief "$(cat "$BRIEF_FILE")" (the CLI's --brief-file expects a JSON
brief, so plain text uses --brief). variants and the later check reuse the
same brief file. approved.json is built with jq -n from --arg values and
--rawfile feedback, so the feedback is data. The office-hours mockup flow
creates its brief and feedback files in one block.

design-approval-flow now writes the feedback file (with quotes, backticks and
$(...) in it) instead of substituting <FEEDBACK>, and checks the file is
removed after the save.

* fix: carve office-hours on every host to stay under the 160,000-byte ceiling

With its brief, feedback and research prompts moved into files, the inlined
office-hours render is 161,329 bytes on Codex and 160,302 on Factory, over
SKILL_BYTE_CEILING, so gen-skill-docs --host all fails. Per the C4 policy
(carve every skill whose external render exceeds the ceiling), office-hours
joins ship and plan-ceo-review in CARVED_ON_EVERY_HOST. The Claude render is
unchanged; external hosts read its sections relative to the installed skill.
external-host-carve and qa-lazy-sections now include office-hours in their
carved-skill lists.

* chore: regenerate after the free-text mktemp guard

* fix(codex): prompts and review focus travel as agent-written files

Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com>

Challenge and consult prompts, and the /codex review focus text, are written
by the agent into private .gstack/tmp files and fed to Codex on stdin or read
back with cat; no heredoc carries them. Consult's new and resumed runs share
one block (and one parser) so no placeholder stands in for the parser; a
resumed run reads its session id from .context/codex-session-id and checks it.
Adds the A3 group 2 placeholder allowlist block.

* fix(land-and-deploy): PR head repository and branch travel as data

Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com>

The branch check reads headRepository/headRefName from gh's JSON into quoted
shell variables; ls-remote, the confirm-first delete and the local delete use
those variables instead of model-substituted names. The postfail test now pins
the variable form it replaces.

* fix(ship): PR body drafts and rejected test paths are agent-written files

Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com>

The PR body is written into two private drafts (through ## Documentation, and
from ## Test plan on); the scan block splices Step 14.5's section between them
into the scanned temp file and deletes the drafts. Rejected test paths are read
from a written list, and paths outside the repository are skipped. Tests that
ran the old heredoc blocks now write the drafts and list first.

* fix: the gbrain page save and external-host placeholders pass the free-text rule

The gbrain save block passed the whole page through a quoted heredoc inside
--content; the agent now writes it to a mktemp file and gbrain put reads it
on stdin. The Claude Code outside-voice runtime root and session mode, and
the feature slug, join the allowlist with grammars; unused entries are
dropped, and a test keeps every allowlisted placeholder tied to a real use.

* fix: skill-specific Aside research queries travel as prompt files

investigate, office-hours, plan-ceo-review, review, plan-eng-review,
design-consultation Phase 2, the shared test bootstrap (B2) and QA's test
bootstrap each carried their own _aside_exec call with the model-filled query
inside a double-quoted argument. Skills that already carry the Web research
block now give only the prompt-file text and use that block to create, write
and send it; design-consultation, the shared bootstrap and QA create the file
and send it with the new {{ASIDE_RESEARCH_SEND}} resolver, which is the same
send block the research section uses (read-only sentence stays in the shell).

aside-driver's B2 pin and qa-browser-preservation's bootstrap contract move
from the inline call to the prompt file and the shared send resolver.

* fix: prose design commands pass briefs and feedback as data

The DESIGN_SETUP command list taught `iterate --feedback "..."`, and
design-consultation's late-change and plan-design-review's slop-regenerate
lines showed `--feedback "<feedback>"` / `"..."`; design-shotgun's retry
showed `generate --brief "<brief>"` and `evolve --brief "<brief>"`. Feedback
now reads "$(cat "$FEEDBACK_FILE")" from an agent-written mktemp file
(the setup note says how), and the shotgun retry reads the variant's own brief
out of briefs.json with jq instead of retyping it.

* test: record parity sizes after the free-text file mechanism; refresh ship goldens

Measured union and skeleton sizes for ship, plan-eng-review,
plan-design-review, office-hours, design-consultation, review, qa, browse
and design-shotgun after every posting, prompt and brief site moved to
agent-written mktemp files; the ship goldens pick up the question-tuning
slug and the dropped free_text field.

* test: parity caps for the combined wave head (rounded up past the measured ratio)

* fix(plan-ceo-review): the mode handoff helper reminds the model to lead its chat with the line (#3038)

Periodic run 37272185151's auto-decide-preserved red replays as the Step 0E
handoff-line class: the model ran gstack-ceo-mode-handoff --auto, got the
exact line, then opened its chat with a heading and a paraphrase, so the
user never saw the auto-decide line (the terminal collapses tool output)
and the detector saw no outcome. The helper now prints a one-line reminder
on stderr beside the line; the detector accepts the line followed by that
reminder and nothing else. The ship Greptile check test reads its template
(test-of-test ratchet).

* test: every troubleshooting link in shipped code resolves, relative or full URL

* docs(todos): Oct 6 fix-wave follow-ups

* v1.91.32.0 release notes: Codex works from zsh, free text never enters shell commands, honest failures

* fix(plan-ceo-review): show the mode handoff line through a PostToolUse hook, not model compliance (#3038)

The stderr reminder beside the handoff line measured 1/10 on
auto-decide-preserved: the model still opened its chat with a paraphrase
('I've set review mode to HOLD SCOPE...'), so the user never saw the line and
the detector saw no outcome. /plan-ceo-review now declares a Claude-only
PostToolUse hook that shows the helper's exact line as a system message.
Diagnostic measurement on this head: 10/10, the line visible in every trial
while no trial's chat led with it. The reminder is reverted.

* fix: type the handoff hook's line filter

* fix: repairs from the integrated free suite

- The self-locate markers looked like heredocs to the pipe-deadlock guard;
  they are plain comment fences now.
- The spawned block keeps the canonical 'conservative non-destructive'
  phrase the cross-surface drift guard pins.
- The free-text block's mktemp refusal says 'mktemp failed', as every
  /codex temp file must.
- The batch transcript read reports sizes in MiB.
- docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md gets a real 'Ship measure' heading for its
  anchor.
- The early-question harness admits /plan-ceo-review's handoff hook by its
  exact command (it only adds a system message); any other PostToolUse Bash
  hook is still refused.
- Paid file count and the unconsumed-file example follow the new seeded
  case; ship goldens refreshed.
- The CSO scanner test points Docker at a dead socket, so a machine with the
  pulled image does not scan.

* test(cso): a host with no Docker binary is also a no-scan host

The missing-image scan test failed on a Docker-less VM (docker is not
installed in a trusted directory). Every accepted message is a reason the
scan cannot run here; the not_assessed, helper-owned artifact assertions are
unchanged.

* ci: split the USERPROFILE assignment from export (SC2155)

* fix(browse): Windows runtime roots read .source-path as a native path (#3026)

The new windows-setup-e2e journey showed the installed browse could not
start its server. setup runs under Git Bash and wrote .source-path as an
MSYS path (/d/a/gstack); Node read it as \d\a\gstack on the current drive,
found nothing, and fell back to the root's own bundle, which cannot import
playwright. setup now writes cygpath -m, and the CLI maps an MSYS drive path
for installs written by an older setup. The journey prints the daemon and
startup logs when the chain fails.

* fix(ship-measure): defects from the parallel #3034 plan review

- A trial passes only with a JUnit testcase that executed and passed; a
  --case that selected nothing also exits 0.
- measure runs a no-cost --list preflight that must plan the case's own
  file before any paid trial.
- Diagnostic trials drop EVALS_CACHE_DIR/EVALS_CACHE_RUNTIME_ID, so they
  never reuse a stored judge pass or publish one the gate could reuse.
- Gate once: when CI runs the gate on push, the push is the gate run; the
  skill no longer also starts eval:bg:pr (a second paid gate).
- ubi-runner: down fails unless the VM is confirmed gone, and nothing
  sweeps other runners' VMs by default (UBI_GC_HOURS opt-in).

* test(windows): the seeded-flake fixture drives a POSIX shell stub, so it stays off the Windows lane

CreateProcess cannot exec the fixture's ./evals.sh shebang script (status
null on windows-free-shard 6). The measure runner is covered on Windows by
ship-measure.test.ts, which uses in-process fake runners.

* fix: the free-text block refuses an unset temp dir instead of writing at /

The rendered block ran mktemp "$_GT/..." with _GT unset in the portability
test; on Linux that fails at /, but Git Bash on Windows can write to its
install root, so the block went on (windows-free-shard 3). It now uses
${_GT:?}, so an unset directory always fails closed with the mktemp
message.

* test: pin the guarded ${_GT:?} temp-file form

* test: the Greptile check's gh stub uses a portable shebang

On Windows the absolute bash path has a space, so the stub never ran and
every case read 'gh not logged in' (windows-free-shard 1).

* test: the Greptile check runs with the native PATH and the gh stub first

The PATH-only stub bin could not run its stub on Windows (every case read
'gh not logged in'). Stub cases now keep the real PATH with the stub first;
only the no-gh case drops directories holding a real gh.

+8 702a1a9b69 v1.78.0.0 fix: the two-red-lanes wave — AUQ collapse rooted, OSV green from 105, 18 community PRs absorbed, upgrade path can't eat installs (#2752)
* fix(auq): spawned trigger is objective — explicit declaration or STATUS echo, never inference (periodic-lane AUQ collapse)

The v1.76 spawned rule's parenthetical '(or your dispatch prompt marks this
session as spawned)' let the model INFER spawned status from a scripted-looking
prompt in a CI-looking session and silently auto-choose every review-phase
question: reviewCount=0 across the plan-review periodic E2Es (weekly run
33363624506, 9 of 14 failed shards; reproduced locally, zero AUQ fingerprints).
Env and hook paths were excluded by inspection: hermetic children echo
SESSION_KIND: interactive (CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT=cli beats CI markers) and the
question-preference hook isn't installed there.

The trigger is now objective: the echoed SESSION_KIND: spawned STATUS line, or
an EXPLICIT dispatch-prompt declaration ("you are a SPAWNED subagent") —
declared, never inferred — with an absence-safe interactive fence: CI env vars,
scripted-looking or pasted prompts, and write-to-this-exact-file instructions
are NOT spawned markers. The prose channel stays because Task-tool subagents
inherit the parent env (no spawned prefix) — their dispatch prompt is the only
signal; #2733's env-prefix channel is untouched.

19 carve skeleton ceilings re-pinned with measured values (+~440 bytes/skill);
ship goldens refreshed for all three hosts; resolver pins extended with the
no-inference regression tests.

* fix: mktemp failure aborts loudly at all three skill-content sites; failed upgrade swap restores the backup (#2679)

An empty $(mktemp) result silently disabled the redaction pass (redact-doc
resolver, ship pr-body) and made /gstack-upgrade's vendored path destructive:
clone lands at "/gstack", the swap mv fails, and rm -rf then deletes BOTH the
live install's backup and "". All three sites now guard the assignment with a
loud exit; the vendored block additionally restores the backup when the swap
fails (same failure class — backup deletion after a failed mv) and the GitLab
MR path sends the SCANNED file's bytes instead of re-rendering an unscanned
heredoc. bin/gstack-redact rejects an explicit empty --from-file path instead
of silently falling through to stdin.

Receipts: 6 of 8 new regression checks fail on a v1.77.0.0 scratch worktree.

Fixes #2679

* fix(auq): the interactive fence classifies the session — it never nudges ask-count

Burn-in run 1 of the periodic repro overshot the review band (reviewCount=8 >
CEILING=7) with the fence's 'when unsure, ask' tail: that phrasing is a quota
nudge, not a classification default. The fence now states it only classifies
the session and never changes how many questions the skill asks. Pin added.

* fix(ci): OSV suppression config actually loads — explicit global --config + expiring, reasoned ignores

The ignore file was inert from v1.65.0.0: OSV-Scanner only auto-discovers
configs named osv-scanner.toml (no leading dot) and applies them
per-directory, so the root config never covered lib/diagram-render/bun.lock
either way. The workflow now passes --config=.osv-scanner.toml globally.
Every IgnoredVulns entry carries a reason with an upgrade trigger and an
ignoreUntil expiry (~90 days) so suppressions must be re-justified. A wiring
test pins flag ↔ filename ↔ entry hygiene so the file can never silently go
inert again.

* fix(deps): dependency wave — 105 OSV advisories → 3 reasoned suppressions, all lanes verified on the pinned scanner

Root: overrides pin ip-address 10.3.1 (defeats BOTH nested nodes — socks'
range pull and express-rate-limit's exact 10.1.0 pin, which a top-level bump
provably cannot reach) and sharp 0.35.0 (GHSA-f88m, HIGH; transformers still
pins ^0.34 upstream — smoke-tested round-trip); marked ^18.0.11; full in-range
lockfile refresh clears hono, fast-uri, protobufjs, qs, body-parser, nanoid,
uuid, immutable and friends.

lib/diagram-render (via its own build-script contract: exact pins edited,
fresh lock, dist rebuilt): mermaid 11.16.1, @excalidraw/excalidraw 0.18.1,
@excalidraw/mermaid-to-excalidraw 1.1.2 → 2.2.2 — the 1.x line exact-pinned
mermaid 10.9.x and dragged the entire duplicate mermaid-10 advisory chain
(dompurify 3.1.6, nanoid 3.3.3, lodash-es); the bundle shrinks 9.96 → 7.59 MB
with the duplicate mermaid gone. Nested exact pins that survived get scoped
overrides (nanoid 5.1.16, lodash-es 4.18.1).

Verification: clean-worktree frozen-lockfile installs (root + nested) + the
SAME osv-scanner release the action pins (v2.3.8) with the workflow's exact
scan-args → exit 0, 'No issues found'. Smoke tests cover the override
surfaces (sharp round-trip, ip-address lockfile assertion, marked parse);
socks + diagram-drift suites already pin the rest.

Supersedes #2695 (its own lockfile kept socks/ip-address@10.2.0; @anupamme's
report credited for the parallel diagnosis).

* test(gbrain-sync): stub pgrep so the pin case is hermetic

The only non-dry-run --code-only child hits #1734's PATH-resolved
autopilot probe. A live host daemon is a correct refuse; the test
cannot inject processRunning. Neutralize pgrep in the fixture bindir
instead of adding a production env hatch.

* test(gbrain-sync): blank inherited GBRAIN_HOME in the pin child

Lock paths are checked before pgrep. Spreading process.env let a runner
GBRAIN_HOME with a live lock refuse the case before the stub ran.

* fix: point ship design-checklist at installed gstack/review path

Wave-amended: goldens regenerated against the wave tree (author's golden commit 8e7a03ca superseded)

* fix(codex): a CLI that cannot execute no longer reports CODEX_MODE: ready

Follow-up to #2477. The model probe it added does a real round trip, but its
final branch is the `else` of a "model 400" grep, so it swallowed spawn ENOENT,
non-executable binaries and missing vendor payloads alongside genuine network
timeouts. All three are deterministic — retrying never helps — yet they landed
in the fail-open bucket and resolved to `ready`, so every Codex pass was
skipped in silence and the review reported itself complete.

Observed live: @openai/codex was on PATH with an empty
vendor/aarch64-apple-darwin/codex/ directory. gstack said `ready` for two
months while no Codex pass ran.

Three changes:

- `_gstack_codex_model_probe` classifies deterministic install failures (exit
  126/127, or stderr matching ENOENT/ENOEXEC/EACCES/"cannot execute binary
  file") as MODEL_UNUSABLE_INSTALL, exit 2, never cached — a reinstall is
  picked up on the next probe. Exit 124 and genuine transients still fail open,
  which is what #2477 intended.

- The preflight chain captures the probe's code instead of testing it for
  truthiness, so exit 2 routes to a new `broken_install` mode whose remedy is
  `npm install -g @openai/codex` rather than "check your model pin". A missing
  binary and an unusable model are different problems with different fixes.

- `_gstack_codex_version_check` no longer reads a broken CLI as healthy. It ran
  `codex --version 2>/dev/null | head -1`, which captures head's status, not
  codex's — and 2>/dev/null discarded the one diagnostic available. It now
  captures the real exit code and warns on non-zero. Empty-but-successful
  output stays silent, per the existing "empty output → OK" case.

Tests: 6 added to test/codex-hardening.test.ts covering both broken-install
shapes, the exit-2 contract, no caching, the transient still failing open, the
model 400 still classifying as MODEL_UNUSABLE, and the version-check warning.
845 pass / 0 fail across all 8 suites touching the changed files.

Closes #2742

Wave-amended: autoplan hand-maintained preflight chain completed (tmpl+render); install-signature grep gated on failed spawn only; goldens regenerated against the wave tree (author's golden commit 5797d326 superseded); +2 tests

* feat(redact): add Groq, Tavily and Notion API key patterns

* fix(redact): stop reporting .env.local as an internal hostname

`internal.hostname` ends in `.local|.prod|.staging|…`, so `.env.local`
matches on `env.local` and a dotenv FILENAME is reported as a leaked
internal host.

The collision is not exotic. It fires on `--env-file=.env.local` in an npm
script, `.env.staging` in a README, `.env.prod` in a .gitignore — ordinary
lines on branches that leak nothing. Measured on one private repo, three of
four MEDIUM findings in a routine push were this, and the fourth was a
deleted localhost URL. That ratio is the real cost: a scanner that reports
package.json is one people learn to skim, and skimming is how the HIGH
finding it exists for gets missed.

The guard follows the `insideUuid` precedent and stays deliberately narrow —
it exempts only a span beginning `env.` immediately preceded by a dot, i.e.
the literal `.env.<suffix>` form. `api.corp.local`, `build-7.internal` and
`myenv.local` all still report.

The test pins both directions, and the negative controls are the point: an
exemption written as "any span ending .local" would pass the dotenv half
while quietly gutting the pattern for every real host. Verified red/green —
with the validate hook removed, exactly the 6 dotenv cases fail and all 9
real-host controls still pass.

* fix: don't flag git SSH remotes as pii.email

`pii.email` matches the `git@github.com` inside
`git@github.com:acme/widgets.git`. That is a transport user@host, not a
person's address, so any diff touching a clone URL -- a deploy config's
repo URL, a submodule entry, a README clone line -- draws a spurious
MEDIUM from the pre-push hook.

Suppressed by URL shape rather than by adding `git` to
EMAIL_ALLOW_LOCALPARTS. A bare `git@` allowlist entry would also
suppress a genuine address at a domain that merely begins with "git"
(git@gitmail.com), converting a false positive into a false negative --
the worse failure for a guardrail. Two shapes are accepted:

  - `<user>@<host>:<path>.git` for ANY host, covering self-hosted
    remotes, plus the equivalent ssh:// URL form.
  - `git@<known-host>` for github.com, gitlab.com, bitbucket.org and
    ssh.dev.azure.com, whose bare form appears in docs and in
    `ssh -T git@github.com` connectivity checks with no path at all.
    Matched exactly, so gitmail.com is unaffected.

emailAllowed now receives the normalized text and the span offset so it
can see that surrounding shape; it had only ever been passed the matched
span.

Tests pin both directions: the SSH remotes go quiet, and a real address
still fires -- including at a git host (alex@github.com) and at a
git-prefixed domain (git@gitmail.com).

* fix(redact): install-prepush-hook refreshes a stale managed hook

The marker check returned before the only writer, so once a repo had the
hook, no later change to the wrapper could ever reach it. The `printf x`
fail-open fix (v1.64.0.0) has still not landed in any repo that received
the hook before it, and a wrapper naming a gstack that has since moved
stays pointed at a dead path for the same reason.

Compare the body against what this version generates: rewrite on drift,
stay a no-op when identical. The chained pre-push.local is untouched on
both paths.

The existing trailing-newline regression test cannot catch this — it
installs into a repo with no prior managed hook, the one case that was
never broken.

* fix(redact): install-prepush-hook refreshes a stale managed hook

The marker check returned before the only writer, so once a repo had the
hook, no later change to the wrapper could ever reach it. The `printf x`
fail-open fix (v1.64.0.0) has still not landed in any repo that received
the hook before it, and a wrapper naming a gstack that has since moved
stays pointed at a dead path for the same reason.

Compare the body against what this version generates: rewrite on drift,
stay a no-op when identical. The chained pre-push.local is untouched on
both paths.

The existing trailing-newline regression test cannot catch this — it
installs into a repo with no prior managed hook, the one case that was
never broken.

Wave-amended: spawnSync timeouts added to the new tests (v1.77 sync-spawn tripwire)

* refactor(redact): name the SSH-remote path lookahead constant

Wave polish on the #2734 absorption: the 512-char scp-path lookahead window
follows the UUID_CONTEXT_CHARS named-constant convention instead of a magic
number at the slice site.

* fix(gbrain-detect): classify gbrain >= 0.43 held-lock refusal as engine-locked

gbrain 0.43+ refuses a held PGLite lock with exit 1 and the message
"GBrain's local database is already open through `gbrain serve` (MCP,
PID N)" instead of the pre-0.43 exit 124 + "connect timed out" that
the #2194 branch matches. The message matches no known pattern, so the
classifier falls through to the defensive broken-config default — and
Step 1.5 of /setup-gbrain and /sync-gbrain then tell the user to move a
perfectly healthy config.json aside and re-init the engine.

Reproduced live on gbrain 0.43.0.0, 0.44.0.0 and 0.46.30.0: with a
serve holding the lock, gstack-gbrain-detect reports
gbrain_local_status=broken-config; after stopping the serve it reports
ok with the same untouched config.

Match on the stable substring "already open through", mirroring the
existing #2194 branch semantics: engine-locked for pglite, broken-db
otherwise. Adds a fake-gbrain behavior for the 0.43+ refusal plus two
cases (pglite -> engine-locked, postgres -> broken-db).

* fix(memory-helpers): a slow gitleaks probe no longer disables secret scanning

`gitleaksAvailable()` cached every failure the same way, so a 2s timeout on
`gitleaks version` was recorded as "the binary is absent" for the rest of the
process. One busy moment and the whole ingest ran unscanned behind a single
stderr line — a fail-open outcome decided by machine load rather than by
anything about the machine's setup. The caller only acts on
`scanner === "gitleaks"`, so every later file was written with no scan and no
second warning.

The probe now classifies three outcomes. ENOENT (and a present-but-unusable
binary: bad exit, EACCES) stays cached — that is a fact about the box, and
re-probing it per file would be waste. A timeout gets one retry on a 10s
budget, and if that also expires nothing is cached: the file is reported
unscanned, the warning says so in those words, and the next file probes again.

Observed under the 7-way sharded free-test runner, where spawning a shell
script inside a temp bin dir took longer than the 2s budget.

Tests: the retry path, the no-cache-on-timeout path (the second call must
re-probe), and the cached-absent path. The fake gitleaks hangs for 30s rather
than racing a short sleep against a short budget, and the budgets are chosen so
load cannot flip an outcome: 30s where the retry MUST answer, 800ms where the
probe MUST expire. An earlier draft used 1s/5s and flaked under the same shard
runner this commit is about. The existing probe test pinned `detect` to
calls[1], which a retry breaks; it now asserts the order instead of the index.

* fix(make-pdf): pdftotext version and flavor probe returns unknown on poppler

describeBinary reports version="unknown" flavor="unknown" for every poppler
install, so logDiagnostics prints nothing useful on the most common
implementation. Two independent causes:

1. poppler writes the -v banner to stderr and exits 0. execFileSync returns
   stdout (empty) and does not throw on a zero exit, so the stderr fallback in
   the catch block is unreachable. The in-code comment already notes poppler
   exits 0, but only the throwing path reads stderr.

2. flavor is matched against the version line alone. poppler prints
   "pdftotext version 26.06.0" on line 1 and names itself on line 2,
   "Copyright ... The Poppler Developers", so even a working stderr read
   yields "unknown".

Switch the probe to spawnSync, which returns both streams regardless of exit
status, match the version banner rather than assuming line 0, and derive the
flavor from the full output.

Measured on poppler 26.06.0 (Homebrew, macOS), same machine and binary:

  before: { version: "unknown",                  flavor: "unknown" }
  after:  { version: "pdftotext version 26.06.0", flavor: "poppler" }

xpdf is unaffected: it exits non-zero and names itself on line 1, so it
resolved correctly before and still does.

Tests use shell shims reproducing each vendor's banner, stream and exit status,
since a real pdftotext cannot be assumed present in CI. Two of the four fail on
this commit's parent; the xpdf and no-banner cases pass there and are included
as regression guards rather than red-proofs.

* fix(open-gstack-browser): pre-flight cleanup never killed the stale daemon

Step 0 read the old pid with `grep -o '"pid":[0-9]*'` and Step 2 read the port
the same way. Neither can match. Every writer of that file in
browse/src/server.ts serializes with `JSON.stringify(state, null, 2)`, so the
bytes on disk are `"pid": 12060` — colon, space, digits.

The failure was silent in the worst way. `_OLD_PID` came back empty, the kill
never ran, browse.json was deleted anyway, and the next `connect` died with
"existing daemon has different config (proxy/headed mismatch)" — an error
pointing at proxy/headed flags rather than at the cleanup that no-opped. Caught
against a daemon left over from a reboot: the operator was told to check flags
they had never passed.

Both patterns now accept optional whitespace. The new tripwire does not match
strings — it RUNS the snippets the skill hands the agent, against a state file
written exactly the way the server writes one, and asserts pid and port come
back out. A third case pins the coupling to `JSON.stringify(state, null, 2)`,
so a switch to compact JSON surfaces as a failing expectation rather than as
silence.

* fix(browse): honour CHROMIUM_PROFILE in cli profile-lock cleanup

cli.ts resolved the Chromium profile dir with a hardcoded
$HOME/.gstack/chromium-profile, while browser-manager launches the profile
returned by config.resolveChromiumProfile(), which honours CHROMIUM_PROFILE
and GSTACK_HOME.

killOrphanChromium() and cleanChromiumProfileLocks() are called with no
argument, so whenever CHROMIUM_PROFILE was set they cleaned locks for, and
killed Chromium on, the DEFAULT profile rather than the one being launched.
Starting a browser with a custom profile therefore evicted an unrelated
browser running on the default profile.

Delegating to resolveChromiumProfile() also picks up GSTACK_HOME and
os.homedir(), so the cleanup path now matches the launch path on Windows
where HOME is frequently unset.

* fix(auq): the interactive fence is quota-silent — it defers to the skill's own decision points

Burn-in calibration: run 1 (fence tail 'when unsure, ask') overshot the
plan-ceo review band at reviewCount=8; run 2 (tail mentioning 'HOW MANY
questions') undershot at 1. Any ask-count language in the fence anchors the
model in one direction or the other. The tail now says only: classify as
interactive, then follow the skill's own decision-point instructions exactly
as written. Pins updated to forbid count language in either direction.

* test(browse): pin cli.ts profile-dir wiring to the canonical resolver

Wave-added coverage for the #2732 absorption: a 6-line fix with zero tests is

delegation and forbids the hardcoded path from returning.

* fix(browse): preserve return value for async IIFE expressions in js/eval (#2727)

Wave-amended: test moved to browse/test/ (browse unit-test convention); trailing-semicolon normalization kept — it is load-bearing for the expression wrapper

* fix: bin writers drop data on Windows paths with an apostrophe

Two independent Windows git-bash bugs in the bin writers, both silent
because callers invoke these scripts with 2>/dev/null and do not check
the exit status — a hard failure was indistinguishable from success.

Bug 1 — apostrophe in the checkout path breaks the bun -e program.
gstack-learnings-log, gstack-question-log and gstack-telemetry-log build
a bun -e program as a double-quoted shell string and interpolate
SCRIPT_DIR into a single-quoted JS import specifier. A path such as
C:/Users/Someone's PC/... closes the JS string literal early and Bun
fails to parse ("Expected ; but found s"). Every learning write and every
plan-tune question event no-oped; telemetry error redaction fell to its
fail-closed null path. The #1950 cygpath -m guard did not cover this —
cygpath normalises the drive form but does not remove the apostrophe.

Fixed by not interpolating the path at all: cd into the module root and
use a relative import specifier, which is immune to apostrophes, spaces,
backslashes and MSYS paths alike. The one remaining interpolated data
path in gstack-developer-profile (readFileSync of PROFILE_FILE) is passed
via the environment instead, matching do_log_session in the same file.

Bug 2 — gstack-developer-profile --derive fails on an MSYS-form
GSTACK_HOME. GSTACK_HOME defaults to $HOME/.gstack, which under git-bash
is /c/Users/..., and Bun on Windows cannot open that form (ENOENT). This
script carried no cygpath guard at all. Fixed by normalising GSTACK_HOME
once, before PROFILE_FILE / LEGACY_FILE / the events path are derived
from it, so all three pick up the normalised value.

Adds test/hostile-path-writers.test.ts, which runs the bins from a
directory whose name contains an apostrophe and asserts that rows are
ACTUALLY WRITTEN (not merely that the exit code is 0 — exit-code-only
checks are what masked bug 1). The apostrophe repro is OS-independent:
SCRIPT_DIR derives from the script's own location, so a copied checkout
under a hostile directory name reproduces bug 1 on Linux/macOS CI too.

Wave-amended: all four writers unified on the env-var import pattern the PR already used in gstack-developer-profile (no CWD-dependent module resolution)

* fix(memory-ingest): stop two silent transcript-ingest failures

Two independent bugs made transcript pages silently fail to reach the brain.

1. Frontmatter fence gluing. buildTranscriptPage() built the closing "---"
   with no trailing newline, and session bodies always start with "## ", so
   the rendered page ended "...---## User". gbrain's frontmatter matcher
   (/^---\r?\n([\s\S]*?)\r?\n---(\r?\n|$)/ in src/core/markdown.ts) requires
   the closing "---" to end its own line, so it skipped the glued fence,
   latched onto the next standalone "---" in the transcript body, parsed the
   prose between as YAML, and dropped the page with "Invalid YAML frontmatter".
   Transcripts with no later "---" fell back to body-only, silently losing
   their frontmatter. Fix: emit the fence on its own line with a blank
   separator, matching renderPageBody()'s artifact branch.

2. Slug collisions. Two source files can map to one path-derived slug (a
   session resumed under the same id on one day, or two ids sharing a 12-char
   prefix). writeStaged() names each file "${slug}.md", so the second
   overwrote the first; gbrain collected N-1 of N staged files and the
   reconciliation guard failed the whole batch every run. Fix:
   disambiguateSlugs() keeps the first occurrence and gives each later collider
   a stable "-<sha8(source_path)>" suffix (deterministic, and slug + page_slug
   move together so writeStaged, the failure mapping, and state recording agree).

Exports buildTranscriptPage, renderPageBody, and disambiguateSlugs for tests.
Adds regression tests for both failures.

* fix(gbrain): a slow --version probe classifies as timeout, never no-cli (#2716)

resolveGbrainBin's bare catch collapsed 'gbrain missing' and 'gbrain present
but the 2s --version budget expired' into the same null — freshClassify then
said no-cli, which the --is-ok whitelist from #1964 does NOT forgive, so a
bun-shim install on a loaded POSIX box silently lost every brain-aware block.
The probe now returns a discriminated result (cached per-process, same
lifetime the old null had) using the same killed/SIGTERM/ETIMEDOUT
discrimination the sources-list probe below already uses; timeout routes to
the forgiven 'timeout' status. GSTACK_GBRAIN_VERSION_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS test
override added (same precedent as the sources-probe override).

Receipt: the slow-but-present sibling test fails on a v1.77.0.0 scratch

* fix(codex): close the consult-mode fence, report turn.failed as a failure, capture exit codes portably (#2671, #2669)

Three defects in the codex skill sections:

- The resumed-session bash block never closed its fence; every fenced region
  after it inverted (prose rendered as code, the synthesis-recommendation tail
  rendered inert). A repo-wide fence-pairing test now scans every generated
  SKILL.md and sections/*.md with a CommonMark-faithful state machine (an
  info-string opener inside a fence is literal content — nested template
  examples in document-generate/make-pdf stay legal; a file ending inside a
  fence fails).

- The JSONL parsers had no turn.failed branch: a turn that STATED its failure
  was reported as 'possible mid-stream disconnect'. Challenge and consult now
  print the event's error and run a three-way completeness check (failed-with-
  reason / silent-disconnect / ok); consult previously had no completeness
  check at all.

- ${PIPESTATUS[0]} is empty under zsh, so hang detection never fired and
  every clean run printed a spurious '[codex exit ]'. All three capture sites
  use ${PIPESTATUS[0]:-${pipestatus[1]}}, pinned statically and EXECUTED
  under real bash and zsh in the new test. Expect a step-change in
  codex_timeout telemetry — the counter starts firing for zsh users.

Receipt: the portability pin fails on a v1.77.0.0 scratch worktree; the fence
fix is structural (17 → 18 fence lines, tail no longer inside a block).

* fix: outside-voice fallback is labeled honestly — same model family, not cross-model (#2735)

When Codex is unavailable, the plan-review outside voice falls back to a
Claude subagent and the copy sold it as 'cross-model coverage' with 'genuine
independence'. Fresh context is real; cross-model validation is not — a user
weighing 'both reviewers agree' deserves to know both reviewers share a model
family. Six canonical strings fixed at the resolver source (constants.ts
not_installed/not_authed, review.ts outside-voice bullet + three dispatch
paragraphs); ~10 generated docs and the ship goldens regenerated. Printing
the resolved fallback model at dispatch time is descoped as a functional
change (follow-up in the wave dispositions).

* fix(relink): skill_prefix patches the gbrain render too — the file the host actually serves (#2738)

gstack-relink linked SKILL.md from RENDER_DIR when a gbrain render was active
but ran gstack-patch-names only on INSTALL_DIR, so the served frontmatter kept
the unprefixed name and skill_prefix=true silently no-oped for every
brain-aware skill. The render tree (user-owned, untracked) is now patched too;
gstack-patch-names is idempotent so repeat relinks never double-prefix. The
gen-skill-docs note that pointed users at relink now describes what relink
actually covers.

keeps 'name: qa').

* fix(render): section refs point at the FINAL render dir, never the tmp swap dir (#2692)

gen-skill-docs bakes its --out-dir into rendered CONTENT (rewriteSectionBase),
and both swap-in callers (setup, gstack-config gbrain-refresh) render into
claude.tmp.<pid> before the #2569 atomic rename — so every rendered skill
carried ~9 dead section Read paths that pointed at a directory the swap had
just deleted. New --link-root flag names the final serving dir (defaults to
--out-dir for direct-render callers: bin/dev-setup, dev-skill.ts, mkdtemp
tests — full caller audit in the wave notes); the rewrite now uses a
replacement callback so a $-bearing configured path can't expand as $& in a
replacement string. The swap logic itself stays byte-identical. Tests pin the
generator contract (tmp out-dir files reference the final dir, $-bearing
path included) and both callers' wiring.

* feat(setup): persistent timeline Stop hook opt-out — timeline_stop_hook config gate (#2677)

--no-team is a one-shot teardown, so every later bare ./setup (including the
ones /gstack-upgrade runs) re-registered the timeline Stop hook with no way
to say 'never'. New gate mirrors the plan_tune_hooks pattern: flag
(--timeline-stop-hook/--no-timeline-stop-hook) > env
(GSTACK_TIMELINE_STOP_HOOK) > saved config (timeline_stop_hook) > default
yes. An explicit flag persists to config so the decision survives upgrades;
an explicit 'no' also removes a live registration (reconciliation), so the
opt-out works against installs registered by an older setup. --no-team
semantics unchanged (NO_TEAM_MODE is never initialized from config). Full
gstack-config surface: DEFAULTS entry, header docs, list/defaults
enumeration, warn-and-default validation.

* fix(browse): tame the macOS headless GPU spin + reap the lock-less headless Chromium on stop (#2709)

Two defects in one report. On macOS 26 / Apple Silicon the headless-shell GPU
process pegs ~800% CPU indefinitely after real page work and --disable-gpu
alone is not enough; the reporter validated that adding
--disable-software-rasterizer/--disable-gpu-compositing/--disable-gpu-watchdog
drops it to 0.0% with screenshots still working. The flag block is a pure
platform-parameterized function (unit-tested on any host), darwin-gated,
headless-only (buildGStackLaunchArgs feeds the headed/GBrowser paths where
GPU-off is wrong), with a GSTACK_DISABLE_GPU=off escape.

Separately: the headless launch has no userDataDir, so it never writes the
SingletonLock that killOrphanChromium walks — 'browse stop' reported success
while the orphan kept spinning. The daemon now records the launched child's
pid + wall-clock start time in the state file (the xvfbPid/xvfbStartTime
contract), and stop paths reap a survivor only after verifying BOTH the
recorded start time and a Chromium-looking cmdline — a recycled PID, even one
running a different legitimate Chromium, is never killed (identity tests
include the coreutils-shebang trap that defeats argv0 renames).

macOS efficacy is per the reporter's validation; live re-verification on
Apple silicon is tracked in TODOS.md.

* fix(wtree): a failed touch falls through to the HEAD seed instead of reopening the racy window (#2687)

The v1.74 racy-git fix carries the real index's mtime onto the temp copy —
but its 'touch -r … || true' meant a FAILED touch silently kept the copy's
fresh stamp, marking every entry non-racy and reopening the exact same-size-
rewrite hole. A failed touch now discards the copy and seeds from read-tree
HEAD (slower; every entry re-hashed; fingerprint stays honest).

Verification for #2687 itself: the reporter's same-size-rewrite repro run 20
iterations against this tree — 0 misses (the underlying race was fixed by
v1.74's b1485d88 with its own regression test; this wave verifies and closes,
it does not claim that fix). Receipt: the stubbed-touch test fails on a

* fix(redact): large reports survive the pipe — exitCode instead of process.exit; inert test payload

The wave's PR quality gate failed closed: gate-secret-scan.mjs pipes the
diff's added lines into gstack-redact and parses the JSON report, but
process.exit() discards stdout still buffered in the pipe — this wave's
646-finding report (202 KB) is the first big enough to arrive truncated
(~145 KB) at node's collector, so JSON.parse failed and the gate read
'no report' as HIGH. The report and auto-redact body paths now set
process.exitCode and let the runtime drain stdout; exit-code contract
unchanged (verified 0/2/3 end-to-end). Also: the C1 test's stdin payload no
longer uses a provider-prefix credential shape (the gate correctly flagged
it; the content was never read on the error path under test).

* fix(auq): the interactive fence ends at classification — all behavioral tails removed

The pinned-container periodic lane proved the collapse dead (reviewCount 0 →
7/8/5 across the AUQ suite) but flagged the fence's remaining behavioral
clause: 'never adds, removes, or batches the skill's decision points' broke
the paired-finding control (5 > 4 — it suppressed the batching that fixture
expects), and the band overshot its ceiling (8 > 7). Every behavioral tail
tried so far skewed counts somewhere ('when unsure, ask' → 8; 'HOW MANY
questions' → 1; 'never batches' → paired control red). The fence now ends at
'When unsure, default to interactive.' — classification only, zero behavior
words. Pins forbid every tried-and-failed phrasing.

* fix(auq): the spawned trigger is the STATUS echo, nothing else — prose channel removed from the eager path

Two pinned-container periodic rounds showed that ANY dispatch-prompt
declaration channel in rule 1 keeps question counts unstable (round 1, fence
with behavioral clause: paired control 5>4, band 8>7; round 2, bare fence:
intermittent 0s return, paired control breaks both directions). The stable
regime CI was calibrated against had no spawned prose in the eager path at
all. Rule 1 now keys on exactly one machine-verifiable thing: the preamble's
own SESSION_KIND: spawned STATUS echo. No text from a dispatch prompt, file,
or page can flip a session to auto-choose (the strongest anti-injection
form). Subagents that missed the env marker are caught at FAILURE time by
the AUQ hooks' spawned escape (explicit declaration, never inference) — a
channel that never enters an interactive session's eager reasoning.

This reverses the wave's earlier explicit-declaration middle ground (and
adopts the outside voice's twice-made echo-only argument) on the new
evidence. #2733 protected: skill-e2e-docsync-spawned (gate) passes 1/1 on
this prose — the ship Step-18 dispatch forces the env prefix, so the echo
fires there.

* fix(codex-probe): timed-out probe (124) keeps its fail-open contract

Exit 124 reached the string-signature branch before the timeout fail-open,
so a slow probe whose partial output happened to quote 'permission denied'
classified as MODEL_UNUSABLE_INSTALL — a deterministic-broken verdict from
a transient condition. 124 is now excluded from the signature branch, and
the detect/display greps share one hoisted _BROKEN_SIG regex (they had
already drifted: display dropped 'not executable').

* fix(codex): JSONL parser initializes its state vars in both modes

challenge-mode initialized turn_completed_count but tested turn_failed via
'in dir()'; consult-mode initialized neither and rebuilt the counter with
a dir() conditional per event. Both parsers now init turn_completed_count
and turn_failed up front and use plain checks — same semantics, no
module-globals introspection.

* fix(ship): PR/MR create aborts on a missing or empty scanned body file

Both the gh and glab send blocks now guard [ -s "$PR_BODY_FILE" ] and the
prose restates that the variable comes from the scan block — bash blocks
run in separate shells, and an unset/empty path would previously send an
empty body (gh) or cat's error output (glab) instead of the scanned bytes.
Codex/factory ship goldens regenerated.

* fix(upgrade): abort when a stale .bak already exists at the install path

A leftover $INSTALL_DIR.bak from a crashed upgrade would make the mv nest
the live install inside it, and the failure-restore arm would 'restore'
the stale backup — possibly deleting the only good copy. The upgrade now
refuses to start and tells the user to inspect/salvage the backup.

* fix(setup): typo'd timeline-stop-hook value warns instead of persisting

--timeline-stop-hook=noo silently normalized to yes AND wrote yes to
config — a persisted decision the user never made. Unrecognized values now
warn (naming the source), apply the default for this run only, and skip
the config write. The opt-out log line names the actual decision source
(flag/env/config) and no longer claims a removal that may not have
happened.

One shared _gitleaksWarned flag served two different messages: a 'machine

warning — the user never learned scanning was off for good. Split into
per-message flags.

* refactor(lib): shared isExecTimeout helper; export GbrainBinProbe

The killed/SIGTERM/ETIMEDOUT discrimination was hand-rolled at three sites
(gbrain version probe, engine classifier, gitleaks probe) and free to
drift; it now lives once in lib/gbrain-exec.ts. GbrainBinProbe is exported
(it's the return type of exported probeGbrainBin) and the cache carries a
rationale comment: caching a timeout for process lifetime is deliberate —
the memo dedupes the ~3 probes of one short-lived preamble process.

--out-dir and --link-root shared near-identical inline parsing; one helper

flow actually invokes disambiguateSlugs, so a refactor can't drop the call
while every unit test stays green.

The suite used a FIXED tmpdir name, so concurrent runs (sharded runner,

not-a-disconnect, silence -> disconnect warning, SESSION_ID echo), with
byte-equivalence safety pins on the bash double-quote extraction. The
fence scanner also gains CommonMark opener-length tracking: a 4-backtick
fence wrapping a 3-backtick example no longer false-positives, with a
self-test.

* fix(memory-helpers): per-run cooldown bounds the slow-gitleaks probe cost

Retrying a slow probe per FILE (#2715's slow!=absent split) re-paid up to
probe+retry (12s default) per file — an 887-file ingest on a loaded box
spent hours re-asking the same slow question. After 3 consecutive slow
answers the run stops probing and warns once that remaining files go
unscanned; the availability cache is still never written, so the next
process probes fresh. Slow/absent discrimination is unchanged.

* fix(memory-ingest): slug assignments persist across runs via the state consult

First-occurrence-keeps-bare was walk-order-dependent ACROSS runs: a source
that got the suffixed slug once could take the bare slug the next run (its
collider aged out or was skipped as unchanged), leaving gbrain holding the
same transcript under two slugs — and a NEW collider could claim a bare
slug that state shows belongs to an unchanged source, silently overwriting
that page. disambiguateSlugs now consults state.sessions: a recorded slug
stays owned by its source_path, re-ingested sources keep their slug
verbatim, fresh assignments never take another source's slug, and legacy
duplicate records (pre-#2724 overwrites) resolve first-owner-wins and
self-heal on the next state write. Stateless behavior is unchanged.

2be6c06ba8 v1.65.0.0 feat: fork port wave 2 — feature fixes, session persistence, Apple releases, supply-chain CI (#2577)
* fix(memory-ingest): pass --include-gitignored to gbrain import

gstack-artifacts-init writes an ignore-everything .gitignore (a bare `*`,
headed "Do not edit") at the root of ~/.gstack. The memory ingest stages
pages into ~/.gstack/.staging-ingest-<pid>-<ts>/, which is inside that
repo, and gbrain's markdown collector honours .gitignore. The collector
therefore matches every staged file against `*` and collects zero.

The failure is silent. gbrain import exits 0 having imported nothing while
the ingest prints `written: N` from the STAGED count rather than the
imported count, so a run that indexes nothing looks identical to a healthy
one and the memory corpus quietly stops growing.

Reproduction, using git's own ignore machinery (no gbrain needed):

  git init .
  mkdir -p .staging-ingest-12345/learnings
  echo x > .staging-ingest-12345/learnings/page.md
  printf '*\n' > .gitignore
  git ls-files --others --exclude-standard   # -> empty

Passing --include-gitignored makes the import independent of whatever
.gitignore sits above the staging directory. Adding a negation to the
generated .gitignore is the alternative, but that file is gstack-owned and
marked "Do not edit", so any regeneration silently reintroduces the bug.

Adds a regression pin in the shape of memory-ingest-no-put_page.test.ts,
plus a behavioural test for the collision itself. Both source pins fail
against the unpatched file.

* fix(memory-ingest): GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES defense-in-depth on the import child (#2144)

Second layer under #2560's --include-gitignored: a realpath'd ceiling at the
staging dir's parent pushes any git-enumerating collector off the git fast
path (which sees zero files under ~/.gstack's ignore-everything root) onto
its plain FS walk, even on gbrain builds whose flag semantics drift. Ceiling
is realpath'd because git compares canonicalized directories during
discovery — a staging dir reached through a symlink (macOS /var ->
/private/var, symlinked $GSTACK_HOME) otherwise never matches.

Behavioral tests prove discovery stops at the ceiling from the staging dir,
including through a symlinked path, using git itself — no gbrain required.

Mechanism ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2).

* fix(autoplan): Phase 4 task aggregator emitted zero tasks on every run (#2018)

The branch+commit jq filter piped to the split commit array and then
referenced .commit — jq rebinds context across a pipe, so .commit indexed
the ARRAY with a string, every input line errored into 2>/dev/null, and
|| true swallowed the exit. The aggregate table has been empty for every
user since the feature shipped. Bind .commit to a variable before the pipe.

Functional pin extracts the ACTUAL emitted jq program from the resolver and
runs it against fixture JSONL (verified RED against the broken filter), plus
a source-shape guard against reintroducing a context-rebinding reference.

* fix(codex): BSD mktemp templates broke /codex on every macOS install (#2091)

macOS mktemp requires the X's to end the template; the five
"codex-*-XXXXXX.txt" sites failed with "mkstemp failed ... File exists"
before Codex ever ran (reproduced live on this machine). Same class fixed
in claude/SKILL.md.tmpl's three sites. bin/gstack-paths now strips macOS's
trailing slash from TMPDIR so TMP_ROOT-built paths stop carrying "//".

Static tripwire scans every tracked .tmpl for characters after the X-run in
a mktemp template (longer X-runs stay valid), plus a live portability check
of the emitted shape.

* fix(decision-log): --supersede silently discarded the replacement decision

The supersede/redact branch appended the retirement event and exited before
the JSON argument was ever read — a user recording a reversal WITH its
replacement lost the replacement, and the payload finder's first-non-flag-arg
predicate would have mistaken the target id for JSON anyway.

Payloads are now identified by their leading brace, validated BEFORE any
write, and appended FIRST (retirement second), so the only visible
interleaving under a crash is both-active — recoverable, never lost. The
replacement carries supersedes:<old-id> provenance. Bare --supersede <id>
(the documented reversal-without-replacement) stays legal; --redact with a
payload now refuses instead of dropping it.

* fix(brain-context): cold-start probe latency permanently disabled gbrain context

gbrainAvailable() spawned gbrain --version under a 500ms budget; a cold CLI
start on a loaded machine blew the timeout, misclassified gbrain as missing,
and every skill session silently ran brainless — plus the per-query re-probe
burned 3x the budget before any real work. Replaced with a memoized
stat-based PATH scan (PATHEXT-aware on Windows) and made the query timeout
overridable via GSTACK_BRAIN_TIMEOUT_MS for loaded CI environments.

Also picks up the fork's manifest-filter coverage (#1687 shape) against the
fake-gbrain harness — passes against our existing filter support.

* fix(setup-gbrain): voyage-code-3 flags were silently dropped under zsh (#1798)

zsh does not word-split an unquoted $VAR, so all three PGLite-init sites
passed the entire flag string as ONE argv word — gbrain ignored it and
silently fell back to its default embedding model, downgrading code
retrieval for every zsh user (macOS default shell). Flags now ride the
positional params (set -- ...; "$@").

Tests run the shape under BOTH bash and zsh against the fake-gbrain argv
recorder (per-word argc log distinguishes one-blob from split), include a
demonstration of the zsh collision on the old shape, and pin the template's
three sites statically.

* fix(model-benchmark): recognize macOS Keychain auth in the claude adapter (#1890)

The default macOS Claude Code install stores OAuth under the Keychain
generic-password service "Claude Code-credentials" and never writes
~/.claude/.credentials.json, so available()'s file-or-env sniff reported
"No Claude auth found" while claude -p worked fine. On darwin the sniff
now also probes the Keychain entry — metadata only (no -w, the secret is
never read), 5s timeout, any security(1) failure degrades to not-found.

Verified live on this machine (subscription install, no creds file,
Keychain entry present).

* fix(upgrade): v1.27 migration no longer auto-proceeds without a TTY or records a failed rename as done (#1383)

Two silent-failure shapes in one script. Non-interactive runs (Claude Code
Bash tool, CI) blanket-auto-proceeded into a REMOTE repo rename — now they
skip-for-now by default and ask again next upgrade; unattended runs opt in
with GSTACK_MIGRATE_ASSUME_YES=1. And a failed gh rename was journaled as
done and the done-touchfile written, permanently stranding a half-renamed
install — the failed step now stays PENDING with the manual command printed,
finalize refuses the done-marker while any step is unjournaled, and the
migration exits 1 with a re-run pointer while completed steps still skip on
retry.

Harness updated to opt in explicitly; new tests pin the default-skip and
failure-stays-pending-then-retry-succeeds contracts (13/13).

* fix(ship): REST fallback when gh pr edit hits the Projects-classic GraphQL deprecation (#1079)

On repos where GitHub enforces the Projects-classic sunset, gh pr edit
hard-errors on repository.pullRequest.projectCards and Step 19's PR body
update dies. The template now names the error shape, says it is not an auth
problem, and falls back to the REST endpoint (gh api pulls/N -X PATCH) with
the SAME already-redaction-scanned temp file for body and title. Generated
SKILL.md regen rides the cluster regen commit.

* fix(ship): test-command detection was blind to Django and config-less-but-tested projects

The Test Framework Bootstrap detected Python only via requirements.txt or
pyproject.toml and treated missing config files as no-tests, so a green
'python manage.py test' Django app, a Go project with *_test.go beside the
source, in-source Rust #[test] blocks, or a package.json with only a test
script all got offered a SECOND test framework over a working one.

Detection now enumerates definitive per-ecosystem markers (manage.py,
tox.ini/setup.cfg, pom.xml/gradle, Makefile test targets, a tracked-file
test census, in-source Rust tests) as EVIDENCE for the question it asks —
never a command to run blind — preserving the read-CLAUDE.md-or-ask
contract, with a marker→candidate-command table and ask-once persistence.
The shared coverage-audit detection block gains the same markers.

Test runs the resolver's emitted detection bash against Django / Go / Rust /
Node fixtures in throwaway git repos.

* fix(gbrain-sync): enforce the per-repo policy at the code-import chokepoint (#2140 sync path)

The deny/read-only tiers in ~/.gstack/gbrain-repo-policy.json were stored
by gstack-gbrain-repo-policy but enforced only in /sync-gbrain skill prose —
a direct or cron invocation of gstack-gbrain-sync ingested repo code
regardless. Worse: the code stage's egress receipt has cited 'per-repo
policy chokepoint (repoPolicyTier)' as its consent since v1.63 while no such
function existed. repoPolicyTier() now gates the stage before the dry-run
branch: deny → refused-policy-deny (exit 1, loud), read-only → clean
skipped-policy-read-only (code ingest writes pages), unreadable store →
fail-closed refused-policy-unreadable, no store → unchanged fail-open.

Subprocess tests pin all four paths against real git repos and a
permission-blocked store (verified RED against the ungated binary). The
receipt's consent string is truthful from this commit. #2140's ingest-path
source-isolation ask remains open — partial-progress comment at ship.

* fix(ios-qa): /auth/sessions no longer hands raw bearer tokens to any local process

The loopback sessions list echoed live tokens — a harvest-and-replay
primitive for anything on the machine (same class as the /health token leak
fixed in v1.63). The list now returns a device-salted 16-hex token_id plus
metadata; the salt is shared with the attempts log so identifiers correlate.
/auth/revoke keeps the list→revoke workflow alive by accepting token_id
alongside the caller's own raw token and identity. saltedHash() is exported
from audit.ts and writeAttempt now reuses it (was inlined).

Integration tests pin raw-token absence, the id shape/metadata, and the
token_id revoke round-trip (verified RED against the leaking handler).

List fix ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2); token_id revoke is ours.

* fix(ios-qa): boot token out of os_log entirely; IPv4 listener pinned to loopback at the socket

The StateServer's bootstrap announce logged the live boot token with
privacy: .public — and nothing consumed it: the daemon has read the token
from the 0600 app-container file since the devicectl copy flow landed. The
log line handed a credential to anything reading the unified log during the
launch window. It now announces port/build only.

The IPv4 listener bound the wildcard interface and relied on the
per-connection peer check alone; IPv4 has no CoreDevice tunnel path, so it
now binds 127.0.0.1 via requiredLocalEndpoint at the socket level. IPv6
keeps the wildcard bind for CoreDevice ULA peers by design.

Static pins cover both the template and the fixture app copy.

* fix(make-pdf): close the offline-gate bypass via raw-HTML fetch vectors

With --allow-network off, the sanitizer stripped script/iframe/link but let
Chromium fetch remote resources at print time through four raw-HTML vectors:
<style> @import (any form), remote url() in <style> blocks and inline style
attributes (incl. protocol-relative //), srcset with a remote candidate
(Chromium prefers srcset over the inlined src), and remote src/poster on
video/audio/source/track. All neutralized at the sanitizer; remote <img src>
is deliberately left for the image inliner so its blocked-remote placeholder
still fires, and url() mentions in prose/code spans stay untouched.

Fork's test suite ported verbatim (12 cases incl. the end-to-end render
assertion), verified RED against the old sanitizer.

* fix(pair-agent): tunnel activation is consent-gated — and the receipt's consent claim is now real

The tunnel egress receipts have claimed consent: 'pair_agent=on' since v1.63
while no such key or gate existed — ngrok installed+authed was enough for
the CLI to auto-start an internet-facing tunnel. isPairAgentEnabled() (fail-
closed, env-overridable) now gates all three activation points: CLI
auto-start, POST /tunnel/start (refuses with the enable hint), and the
BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 startup bind. Consent-on-first-use, not silent breakage:
the /pair-agent skill asks once (one-way-door posture), sets pair_agent via
gstack-config (registered with on|off validation, default off), and never
asks again; direct API callers get the same hint in the refusal.

Adapted from the fork's gate: their reader targeted config.json, which on
main would have made the gate silently un-enableable — ours reads the
canonical ~/.gstack/config.yaml with the JSON shape as fallback, pinned by
tests either way (11 cases, gate wiring tripwires included).

* chore: regenerate pair-agent SKILL.md for cluster B (consent gate)

* fix(browse): cancel the parent watchdog when handoff promotes a daemon to headed

The parent-process watchdog assumes connection mode is fixed at boot: headless
daemons outlive their parent, headed ones do not. The env guards
(BROWSE_PARENT_PID=0, BROWSE_HEADED=1) only cover daemons that were headed when
they started.

handoff breaks that assumption. It swaps in a headed context on a RUNNING daemon
and sets connectionMode = 'headed' without a restart, so a daemon that
legitimately registered a watchdog lands on the fatal side of the branch. The
parent is usually a short-lived shell, and Claude Code's Bash tool kills one after
every invocation, so the next 15s poll shuts the daemon down.

The user-visible effect is that handoff destroys the thing it just created. It
exists so a human can log in, solve a CAPTCHA, or clear an MFA prompt; the browser
disappears about fifteen seconds later and takes the session with it. Observed
while driving two registrar control panels: five daemon deaths and three logins,
each one discarding the authenticated session.

BrowserManager now exposes onHeadedPromotion, fired only on runtime promotion and
not on a headed boot, and the server binds it to a canceller for the interval it
already owned but previously discarded. Bound on both the module-level manager and
any embedder-supplied one, since the watchdog reads activeBrowserManager and
binding only the default would let embedders promote silently.

The binding sits next to the browserManager declaration rather than next to
clearParentWatchdog. Placing it with the function, which lives with the watchdog it
cancels, reads better but touches browserManager in its temporal dead zone, which
aborts module evaluation and leaves every later const uninitialized. findport
tests catch that immediately.

Tests: watchdog.test.ts already noted in its header that its three cases all fix
mode via env at spawn time, so none reaches the headed branch. Driving a real
handoff needs a headed Chromium, so the wiring is pinned with static tripwires
instead, matching cdp-session-cleanup.test.ts and server-auth.test.ts. Verified
they fail when the notification call is removed and pass when restored.

Full `bun test` shows the same 6 pre-existing failures on this branch and on main
(gstack-gbrain-detect, gstack-artifacts-init), which pass in isolation on both, so
they are test-order pollution rather than a regression here.

* fix(browse): pass windowsHide so the daemon stops popping console windows

On Windows, `browse` leaves empty black console windows on top of whatever the
user is doing — they pop up every few minutes for as long as any browser skill
is alive, and outlive the process that created them.

Cause: `bun-polyfill.cjs` maps `Bun.spawn`/`Bun.spawnSync` onto node's
`child_process`, and node defaults `windowsHide` to **false**. Bun never creates
these windows, so nothing in the daemon's own code looks wrong — the behaviour
only appears on the node fallback path.

The one users notice is `spawnTerminalAgent()`, which launches
`bun run terminal-agent.ts` through this shim. The daemon respawns it on a
watchdog, so closing the window is not enough — a new one arrives shortly after.
Ten `bun.exe` processes were live on the machine this was diagnosed on.

Why they linger after the child exits: with the default terminal application set
to "Let Windows decide", the console is brokered through Windows Terminal via
svchost, and WT leaves the empty frame behind when its only child exits. The
frame has no child process at all, which is why it looks like a dead terminal.

Setting `windowsHide: true` on both wrappers fixes every console child routed
through the shim — the bun agent plus the `tasklist`, `git` and `powershell`
calls elsewhere in the daemon. No behaviour change on macOS or Linux, where the
option is ignored.

Not covered by this commit: `chromium.launch()` goes through playwright's own
process launcher rather than this shim, so it still creates one window per daemon
start. Worth a follow-up.

* test(browse): make bun-polyfill tests runnable on Windows, and cover windowsHide

`bun test browse/test/bun-polyfill.test.ts` was **0 pass / 4 fail on Windows**
before this — every test in the file, on the platform the polyfill exists to
support.

Each test interpolates the polyfill's absolute path into a single-quoted JS
string passed to `node -e`. On Windows that path has backslashes, so JS eats
them as escapes:

    'C:\Users\jwilk\dev\gstack-fork\browse\src\bun-polyfill.cjs'
      ->  C:Usersjwilkdevgstack-forkrowsesrcun-polyfill.cjs

(`\b` is a real escape, so it deletes a character too.) `require()` throws, the
subprocess dies, stdout is empty, and every assertion compares against "". The
tests pass on macOS and Linux purely because those paths have no backslashes.

Fixed by interpolating with `JSON.stringify(polyfillPath)`, which quotes and
escapes correctly on all platforms.

Also adds a regression test for the windowsHide fix in the previous commit. It
stubs `child_process.spawn`/`spawnSync` *before* the polyfill destructures them
and asserts the captured options, so it is deterministic and needs no window —
it verifies the contract on macOS and Linux too, where the option is a no-op.

Verified on Windows: 5 pass / 0 fail with the fix, and the new test alone fails
("VISIBLE" instead of "HIDDEN") when the previous commit is reverted.

* fix(browse): forward windowsHide through the Bun polyfill spawn shims

The Node fallback shim accepts a Bun.spawn options object and forwards
only stdio, env and cwd to child_process.spawn. windowsHide is dropped,
and because Node defaults it to false while Bun.spawn hides the console
window, the omission inverts the behavior on the one platform the shim
exists to support.

Symptom: the terminal-agent respawn in server.ts (60s watchdog ticker)
pops a visible bun.exe console window on Windows every time it fires,
so the window keeps coming back with no scheduled task or startup entry
behind it. stdio:'ignore' silences the child's output but does not
suppress its window.

Both shims now forward the option and default it to true, matching the
Bun API being emulated; an explicit windowsHide:false still passes
through. spawnTerminalAgent also sets it explicitly at the call site.

Tests: three cases in browse/test/bun-polyfill.test.ts assert the
default for spawn and spawnSync and that an explicit false is honored.
Each was confirmed to fail against the unpatched shim.

Drive-by, required to run the suite at all on Windows: the tests
interpolated an absolute path into a JS string literal, so backslashes
were consumed as escapes and every require() failed with
MODULE_NOT_FOUND. The path is now normalized to forward slashes. On
Windows this file went from 0/4 passing to 7/7.

* fix(browse): headed mode on macOS 26 — stop mutating the signed Chromium bundle, heal the ones we already broke (#2242, #2138, #2139)

The in-place rebrand rewrote the Chrome-for-Testing bundle's Info.plist
(global name replace — which also renamed CFBundleExecutable to a binary
that doesn't exist) and overwrote its Resources/*.icns, breaking the
codesign seal: GPU process exit_code=5, headed mode dead on macOS 26. The
mutation lived in the SHARED Playwright cache, so it also poisoned the
user's other Playwright projects.

Three layers land together: (1) the rebrand block is gone — branding lives
in the GStack Browser.app wrapper via GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH, with a tombstone
and a static tripwire (no plist/icns writes into the bundle; the tripwire
allows the read-only probe below); (2) a launch-time self-heal detects an
already-poisoned cache bundle, removes it, and errors with the exact
re-fetch command — covering deploy paths that never run migrations;
(3) migration v1.64.0.0 sweeps every cached bundle, removes poisoned ones,
and re-fetches clean Chromium immediately (migrations run after ./setup, so
without the re-fetch an upgrade would end with zero working browser).
Functionally verified against fixture caches: poisoned removed, clean
untouched, rerun no-op. Migration filename tracks the final VERSION at ship.

The #2242 watchdog half is the absorbed PR #2565 (thanks @Screddyice).
Tombstone/tripwire ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2); self-heal and
migration are ours.

* fix(browse): 'browse stop' no longer restarts the daemon it was asked to stop

The stop handler awaited shutdown() — which ends in process.exit — before
returning, so the acknowledgement never egressed. The CLI's fetch reset,
which its crash path reasonably interpreted as a dead daemon: it relaunched
Chromium, re-sent stop, watched the daemon exit again, and errored 'Server
crashed twice in a row'. Every stop cost a wasted Chromium launch and a
nonzero exit. The ack now returns first; shutdown fires on a 25ms unref'd
timer. Same fix for restart. Fork's test pins ack-before-teardown for both.

* fix(browse): lock acquisition reports real errors instead of phantom contention (#1084)

acquireServerLock's bare catch treated EVERY failure as 'another process

phantom contention with nothing to debug. Now only EEXIST is contention:
ENOENT self-heals with one mkdirSecure retry, everything else throws
ServerLockError carrying the real errno, and the stale-lock unlink/retry
loop is depth-capped so it can't livelock. Fork's five-case test ported.

requests. Message-text assertion adapted: our CLI retries silently at the
probe layer where the fork announces on stderr; the behavior, not the
message, is the invariant.

* fix(browse): windowsHide on every Windows-reachable spawn (#1835)

Console windows flashed (and stole focus) on every daemon relaunch,
taskkill, tasklist poll, and powershell DPAPI call — node-level spawns
default windowsHide to false. Covered: the node -e launcher (outer spawnSync
AND the inner detached daemon spawn inside the launcher string), the
dev-mode bun fallback, killServer's taskkill, isProcessAlive's tasklist,
and cookie-import's powershell + tasklist. The Bun-polyfill shims were
covered by absorbed PRs #2523 + #2539 (thanks @jwilk-hrep,
@jerrynicholsai); this closes the sites those PRs didn't reach. The icacls
sites land with the #1605 DACL commit alongside the static tripwire that
pins all of them. R8's planned spawnHidden() helper is deliberately NOT
built: the polyfill default plus the tripwire achieve the no-drift goal
without indirection over seven heterogeneous call shapes. The polyfill +
spawn-hide tests join the Windows CI shard.

* fix(browse): self-repair broken Windows DACLs on state dirs (#1605)

icacls '/inheritance:r /grant:r' can partially fail on localized or domain
accounts: inheritance strips but the user grant doesn't resolve, leaving a
machine-SID-only DACL the owner can't even list — the sidebar/PTY failure
chain in #1605, caused by the very hardening call meant to protect the dir.
mkdirSecure now verifies listability after hardening (a real readdir —
fs.accessSync doesn't consult NTFS ACLs) and repairs via icacls /reset,
re-hardens, and if hardening breaks access again leaves inherited ACLs:
functional-but-unhardened beats hardened-but-unusable. The icacls calls
carry windowsHide (#1835's last two sites) and the fork's static spawn-hide
tripwire lands here, pinning every covered site. file-permissions.test.ts
is already in the windows-free-tests curated shard, so the DACL contract
executes on windows-latest.

* feat(browse): opt-in session persistence — auth survives daemon restarts (#778, #2193)

BROWSE_PERSIST_STATE=1 snapshots cookies + per-tab URL/localStorage/
sessionStorage to <stateDir>/session-state.json (0600) on a 30s unref'd
interval and at clean shutdown, and restores on the next launch — killing
the top-complained auth-lost-on-restart class (#778, #2193, #1128, #1129).

Security invariants mirror state save|load: loadedHtml and owner are never
persisted and never accepted from disk; restored cookies pass the same
hygiene filter (localhost/.internal/metadata domains dropped); restoreState
re-validates every URL. Default OFF; headed mode excluded (the persistent
profile owns that state). Hardened past the fork's shape per review R3:
corrupt state quarantines to .corrupt (forensic artifact, boots fresh, one
log line), snapshot failures warn once and never kill the daemon, and the
boot log reports restored counts or fresh-session status.

Module + 10 tests ported (MIT header retained); server wiring at launch,
interval, and shutdown; skill docs section added (regen rides the cluster
regen commit).

* feat(skills): third-party web-actions contract — offer to drive vendor-site steps, never just dump a manual list

When a workflow needs something done on an external website the user
controls (register an API key, create a vendor account, configure a
dashboard/webhook/OAuth app), five skills (ship, spec, office-hours,
setup-deploy, land-and-deploy) now follow one contract: offer to drive it
in a visible browser via gstack's own stack ($B headed + handoff/resume,
GStack Browser) behind ONE per-task consent question naming the exact site
and actions; passwords, payment, CAPTCHA, and identity stay user-performed;
captured secrets go to owner-only files or the user's secret store, never
chat/logs/history; and the credential is verified with one non-mutating API
call before any success claim — dashboards show masked placeholders, and a
401 catches them. Declining yields manual steps and a blocked-on-user mark;
nothing new is ever installed to close the gap.

New resolver token {{THIRD_PARTY_ACTIONS}} (adapted from the fork's
contract — their Aside-browser detection swapped for our own driver stack;
MIT portions noted). Parity guards bumped with growth itemized (ship

* feat(office-hours): design docs land in the repo, written as decision records (#703, #2000)

Office-hours Phase 5 now dual-writes the design doc: the docs/designs/ copy
is what teammates and plan reviews read (committable, visible), while the
~/.gstack copy keeps memory ingest and cross-session discovery working. The
repo copy leaves the private store, so it passes the redaction scan-at-sink
first (HIGH blocks the repo copy, MEDIUM confirms per finding), and any
failure — read-only checkout, non-git dir, unconfirmed finding — degrades
to the private copy with a one-line reason, never blocking the handoff.

The doc itself is now a decision record, not a transcript: one bullet per
decision with its why, ruled-out approaches collapsed to a single line with
the rejection reason, settled/empty template sections omitted. No page cap;
extra length must come from genuinely open questions.

Plan reviews (ceo/eng/devex + the shared review resolver) prefer the
repo-local doc (DESIGN.md, then newest docs/designs/*.md) when it's at
least as fresh as the private copy — a stale old repo doc never shadows a
newer session. Parity guards bumped with measured values (three plan-review
skeletons +~0.7KB each; office-hours 1.092x).

The Phase 6 resources offer (34 PG essays + Garry/YC videos) had no
permanent decline — the reporter showed memory instructions kept being
overridden on every update, so people who said no got re-pitched forever.
The offer now closes with a standing choice; opting out runs
gstack-config set founder_resources false (new key, default true, true|false
validated), the write is VERIFIED before any promise (a failed write says so
and skips this session only), and every future session skips the entire
section silently — no resources, no 'skipped as requested' mention. Config
outlives session context, so never means never. Re-enable anytime:
gstack-config set founder_resources true. The pitch stays default-ON for
everyone who never opted out.

Tests pin the key's default/persistence/validation through the real config
bin and the generated section's gate-before-content + write-verify contract.

* feat(ship): the Apple App Store release journey — working tree to Submit for Review

Point /ship at a repo with an .xcodeproj, .xcworkspace, or app-product Swift
package and ask to release: the adapter runs the whole journey with ONE
authorization moment (membership + pricing + in-session sign-in, decision-
store persisted so repeat releases ask nothing) and one store-assets question
only when assets are missing. fastlane is the single tool (produce/cert/
sigh/gym/pilot/deliver/frameit); credential vocabulary never reaches the
user.

The adapter carries 21 live releases' worth of paid-for Apple knowledge:
the web session mints the permanent upload key itself (iris POST
/v1/apiKeys; privateKey is base64-of-PEM, downloadable only at creation) so
nobody ever types an app-specific password; error -22938 is Transporter
asking for a key, not a user task; errors are CLASSIFIED before credentials
are touched (validation/UnexpectedResponse = metadata, incl. Apple's
expanded age-rating attributes); pricing goes through POST
/v1/appPriceSchedules because fastlane's price_tier is broken against the
current API; and store distribution NEVER routes through the branch gate —
a clean tree on main is the solo shipper's normal case (Step 0.9 loads the
adapter BEFORE the gate, pinned by test with the non-Apple gate
byte-unchanged and unique). Uploads/submissions follow an idempotency-log
contract (inspect App Store Connect before any re-run). Non-Mac hosts get
the honest split: build legs via a macOS CI runner with the minted key as a
secret, API legs local. Browser use inside the journey is banned except the
named paid-app banking/tax residue. Redaction dry-run clean.

Ship's parity ratio raised 1.12 -> 1.22 deliberately: the 14.8KB section is
on-demand (Apple store targets only), one manifest line otherwise.

* feat(code-intelligence): provider contract Phase 1 — GBrain, Sourcebot, Graphify behind one ask-once offer

Open a large repo (1,000+ tracked files) and gstack can offer code
intelligence ONCE, with the trade-offs stated: GBrain (semantic memory +
code, sends content to YOUR gbrain DB, per-repo consent), Sourcebot
(self-hosted whole-repo search, local on localhost), Graphify (local
tree-sitter graph, nothing leaves the machine, user-installed), or No
indexing — a decline persists machine-wide so no skill ever asks again.
Small repos never see the question; grep stays the always-working default
and provider-OFF degrades silently (PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE -> file-only).

Ported: lib/code-intelligence/ (contract + 3 verified adapters + picker +
selection + suggest, MIT headers), the gstack-code-intelligence CLI
(suggest/select/consent/index/search/status), 31 offline tests (fake CLI
shims + injected fetch), and the provider-contract design doc. Verified
live on this repo: suggest fires at 1,233 files with real availability
detail per provider.

Hardened per review: the per-remote trust store is the SINGLE consent
authority — a gstack-gbrain-repo-policy deny tier vetoes any recorded
code-intelligence consent (fail-closed on an unreadable store, pinned by
three tests); both send-capable adapters are registered as fail-closed
MODULE_SINKS in the egress tripwire so a refactor can't drop their
receipts; and local-compute vs remote-send consents are never bundled.
setup-gbrain gains the provider-choice Step 0. The fork's Phases 2-4
glue-collapse is explicitly NOT ported.

* feat(ci): supply-chain hygiene — secret gate on every PR diff, dependency review, OSV, dependabot, evidence-bar PR template

The repo owned a redaction engine and had zero CI-side secret scanning.
quality-gate.yml now pipes every PR diff's ADDED lines through our own
bin/gstack-redact (gate-secret-scan.mjs, taken from the fork — it dogfoods
the engine): HIGH findings fail the check, MEDIUM prints an advisory count
only (no human in CI to confirm), planted-bug fixtures excluded by pathspec.
Live-verified both directions: PEM key fails, clean diff and MEDIUM shapes
pass; ShellCheck (errors) covers the setup/build shell boundary and passes
today; bun audit gates critical advisories. Trigger is pull_request, never
pull_request_target.

dependency-review.yml adopts the hardened never-merged prior-art branch
(fail-on-severity high, workflow paths watched, tight perms) — verify the
dependency graph parses bun.lock with a canary bump before trusting the
gate. dependabot: weekly, grouped per ecosystem, capped PR counts; and
evals.yml image build/push now skips dependabot actors, whose read-only
GITHUB_TOKEN made every lockfile bump a permanently red check. OSV scans
weekly with a reasoned ignore file. All new workflow actions SHA-pinned.
Scorecard deliberately not taken (no consumer for the score).

The PR template front-loads the evidence bar (live proof, liveness
screenshot, no-ETHOS/voice-changes checklist); the unenforced DCO line is
dropped. bin/gstack-verify-gate ships OPT-IN (never registered by ./setup —
a Stop hook running the project's verify command after every turn is the
user's call), with the fork's tests adapted to pin exactly that.

* fix: housekeeping sweep — telemetry integrity, persistent opt-out, context-bill accuracy, setup hang, dev-server discovery, model resolution (#2136 + v1.63 polish)

Seven small fixes, one theme (claims matching code):
- telemetry-sync strips local-only fields with jq del() (structural) instead
  of quote-fragile sed regexes; unparseable lines are dropped, never
  forwarded unstripped. Sed survives only as a jq-less fallback.
- telemetry-log rejects non-integer durations BEFORE the range caps, whose
  test(1) comparisons silently no-op on non-numerics — a malformed duration
  spliced raw text into the JSONL stream.
- browse's local telemetry honors the persistent tier (config.yaml
  telemetry: off), not just the preamble's env hint — direct $B use and
  embedders now respect the opt-out.
- gstack-context-bill --exact sees GSTACK_-promoted keys inside Conductor
  (conductor-env-shim wired at the CLI entry), and the TOTAL line no longer
  double-counts every nested skill through the root skill's walk (v1.63
  deferred polish; the telemetry-sync HTTP-status outcome deferred alongside
  it turned out already shipped).
- setup's Chromium probe is deadline-bounded (90s, background + poll-kill —
  macOS has no GNU timeout) and prefers Node for the launch probe everywhere
  (the bun --eval hang family behind #2136); the install is single-flight
  behind a lock dir with an actionable stale-lock message. Probe verified
  live on this Mac.
- the review resolver's dev-server check reads CLAUDE.md and the plan file
  before falling back to an expanded port probe, and says how to make
  itself smarter next time.
- eval/harness model IDs resolve through lib/eval-model.ts
  (GSTACK_EVAL_MODEL[_KIND] env overrides, per-kind defaults, tested) at the
  SDK-capture and PTY-warmup sites; the bash-embedded distill snippet
  mirrors the resolution inline.
- memory-ingest's silent-zero shape (staged>0, imported+unchanged==0,
  errors==0) warns even under --quiet — a run that indexes nothing must
  never look healthy again.

* feat(skills): claimed limitations now require evidence, everywhere + wave follow-ups filed

Every tier-2+ skill's preamble gains one directive distilled from nine live
release failures in two days on the fork: a claimed limitation or
requirement ('the API can't do this', 'X requires a credential',
'impossible on this platform') is a material claim, stated only with the
verbatim error, the documented statement, or a live probe in hand —
pattern-matching a failure to a familiar story is not evidence, and a cheap
probe runs BEFORE asking the user or declaring a step blocked. ONE directive
adapted into the preamble resolver; the fork's full judgment contract is
deliberately not imported. Full regen (46 files), ship goldens refreshed,
parity guards bumped with the measured ~0.45KB/skill (investigate, autoplan,
plan-design-review, office-hours), Step 0.9 registered as an intentional
sub-step.

Approved deferrals filed: persona-fleet hostile-user harness + answer-key
methodology in TODOS; the fork's question-budget ACCOUNTING judgment (never
its 5/8/12 constants) folded into the V1.1 pacing design doc; the Apple
adapter added to #1882's coverage note.

* fix(make-pdf): close offline-gate bypasses via unquoted style attrs, CSS-escape and HTML-entity obfuscation

Three live vectors found by the ship review army, all red-first tested:
unquoted style attributes skipped the remote-url neutralizer entirely;
CSS ident/string escapes (@\69mport, url(\68ttps://…)) defeated the
literal-match patterns Chromium happily decodes; and HTML entities in
style attribute values (&#104;ttps) decoded to fetchable schemes before
CSS parsing. Style-attr values are now entity-decoded in one browser-
faithful pass, escape-bearing at-rules and function tokens are dropped
fail-closed, and output is re-encoded double-quoted. 21 new test rows.

* fix(migrations): v1.65 Chromium re-fetch actually re-downloads, and success is verified before .done

The migration (renamed from the provisional v1.64.0.0 slot, which open
PR #2564 claims) deleted only the poisoned .app while Playwright's
INSTALLATION_COMPLETE marker survived in the revision dir — so the
advertised 'bunx playwright install chromium' re-fetch no-opped and the
user finished the upgrade with no browser and a success message. Now:
the whole chromium-<rev> dir goes, bunx runs cwd-pinned to the install
root, .done is gated on a verified executable, and a needs-refetch
sentinel makes re-runs retry a failed download. Stranded rev dirs
(markers without .app) also re-trigger. 6 hermetic tests, red-first.

* fix(migrations): v1.27 remediation prints a real command instead of a fictional flag

Every skip/failure path referenced '/setup-gbrain --rerun-migration',
which is implemented nowhere, and promised the migration 'will ask
again next upgrade', which the version-window runners make false. All
five sites now print the direct GSTACK_MIGRATE_ASSUME_YES=1 bash
invocation. Runner-side re-offer tracking is filed in TODOS.

* fix(browse): poisoned-bundle self-heal removes the revision dir, probes handoff too, and throws typed

Same marker flaw as the migration: rmSync of the .app alone left
INSTALLATION_COMPLETE behind, so the error message's own remediation
no-opped and the user was hard-stuck. The probe is now an exported,
unit-tested helper (probePoisonedChromiumBundle) that removes the whole
chromium-<rev> dir, never touches GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH custom bundles,
throws PoisonedBundleError (instanceof, not string-match), and runs on
BOTH headed entry points — launchHeaded and handoff. 7 tests.

* fix(browse): session snapshots are atomic and the cookie filter drops loopback IP literals

A crash mid-write destroyed the previous good snapshot — the exact
scenario persistence exists to survive; writes now go tmp+rename. The
internal-network cookie filter gains 127.*/::1/169.254.* (a tampered
state file could previously hand loopback-service cookies back to the
browser), and 'state load' imports the shared filter instead of
maintaining a comment-synced copy. Test cleanup made exception-safe.

* fix(browse): server runtime — restore off the boot path, shutdown that cannot hang, watchdog that still reaps tunnels

Four review findings on the wave's own new wiring: session restore ran
before Bun.serve with sequential 15s gotos while the CLI gives up at 8s
(one slow saved URL bricked every $B command) — restore now runs in the
background after bind; the shutdown snapshot gets a 2s deadline so a
wedged page.evaluate can't hold the port forever behind the new
ack-first stop; the persistence ticker gets in-flight + shutdown gates
and is cleared before the final snapshot; and the absorbed #2565
handoff fix no longer clears the whole parent watchdog — a suppress
flag keeps the tunnel-orphan reaper alive (handoff→resume→tunnel is no
longer an unreapable internet-exposed daemon). pair-agent with consent
off now names the real remedy instead of ngrok install instructions.
Lock-acquisition edge branches (garbage pidfile, vanish-race depth cap)
pinned.

* fix(browse): telemetry defaults to off like every other surface

The persistent tier defaulted ON when the config key was absent, while
gstack-config's DEFAULTS table answers 'off' for the same question —
preamble-spawned daemons and direct $B daemons disagreed about consent.
Absent key/file now means disabled; community/anonymous enable; env
kill-switch still beats everything. Both config.yaml consumers now
share one readGstackConfigYamlKey reader. 12-case consent suite.

* fix(code-intelligence): consent that means what it says — polarity, receipts, read-only veto

Four review findings on the wave's own Phase 1 port, all red-first:
'consent <repo> no' recorded consent GRANTED (the CLI ignored the
argument and always wrote true) — yes|no is now required and garbage
records nothing; Sourcebot egress receipts claimed consented=true on
paths that never checked consent — the actual consent state is threaded
into every receipt, search is fail-closed on non-loopback, and the
liveness probe's receipt says truthfully that it sends no repo content;
repoPolicyVeto only honored the deny tier while gbrain refresh writes
pages — write-class ops now veto on read-only too, matching the sync
chokepoint, via one shared lib/gbrain-repo-policy-client.ts (win32
bash invocation, spawn-vs-unreadable error distinction) used by both
call sites. Also: source ids get a host+path hash (same-name repos no
longer collide), refresh timeout raised to 120s, availability probes
run concurrently at 3s, graphify status stops JSON.parsing 100MB graphs
for a count, and every ported file carries the fork MIT notice.
+15 tests across the two suites.

* fix(verify-gate): trust before eval, re-check on re-entry, audit every grant

The opt-in Stop hook eval'd whatever command the first CLAUDE.md up the
tree declared — any cloned repo got arbitrary shell at turn end. Now a
per-repo trust store (path+command hash, 0600) gates execution: an
untrusted or changed command never runs (exit 0 with the --trust
invocation printed), stop_hook_active re-entry re-runs the trusted
check instead of rubber-stamping (bounded at 3 blocks per episode), and
every grant appends a forensic line to
~/.gstack/security/verify-gate-trust-grants.jsonl. 20 tests, red-first.

* fix(setup): EXIT traps chain instead of clobbering; timed-out probes reap their whole tree

The Playwright-lock trap replaced the copied-bun cleanup trap and then
cleared ALL exit handling, leaking .tmp-bun-bin on every Chromium
install; and _wait_with_deadline killed only the subshell, orphaning
the wedged node→Chromium tree it exists to escape — re-creating the
#2136 pile-up on every timed-out re-run. Traps now chain; timeouts
walk pgrep -P descendants leaves-first.

* refactor(resolvers): one source for the design-doc discovery block

The #703 repo-doc-preference bash was pasted byte-identically into
three plan-review templates and a fourth copy embedded in review.ts —
drift there means plan reviews disagree about which design doc wins.
Now a {{DESIGN_DOC_DISCOVERY}} resolver; generated output is
byte-identical, so no SKILL.md changes ride along.

* fix(ship): finish the Apple upload idempotency sentence

The durable-effect contract dropped its consequence clause mid-sentence
— the instruction for what to DO when the idempotency key already
exists (treat the upload as possibly-done, never re-run it) was
missing from the one rule governing whether a binary uploads twice.

* fix(ci): SHA-pin dependency-review; the secret gate fails closed without a report

dependency-review.yml rode mutable refs (@v4 resolves to a BRANCH on
that repo) inside the one workflow whose job is supply-chain hygiene —
now commit-pinned like its siblings, with dependabot keeping the pins
fresh. gate-secret-scan.mjs crashed with an unhandled EPIPE on
oversize diffs (the designed report.oversize branch was unreachable:
the scanner emits no JSON on refusal) — the pipe write now tolerates
early exit and a missing report is an explicit fail-closed exit 1.
Oversize + broken-scanner legs pinned.

* fix(bins): Windows-safe GIT_CEILING join; next-version probes the full default-base chain

GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES was joined with ':' — git on Windows splits on
';' and drive letters contain ':', silently disabling the #2144
second-layer defense there; now path.delimiter. next-version's
default-base detection only tried origin/HEAD then 'main', diverging
from the canonical 4-step chain diff-scope uses — origin/main and
origin/master probes added, pinned by fixture repos.

* fix(eval-model): kinds are a literal union, not string

Record<string,string> widened EvalModelKind to string, so a typo'd
kind only failed at runtime; as const satisfies keeps the closed set
the doc comment promises.

* test: coverage backfill from the ship review

The telemetry-strip invariant only validated the sed FALLBACK while
the live jq path went unchecked — the jq del() lists are now held to
the same every-emitted-field bar, plus a behavioral pipe-through. The
context-bill nested-skill double-count fix gets a regression pin (a
revert shipped green before). The windowsHide tripwire gains
terminal-agent-control.ts — the exact file the fix commit names. The
ios-qa revoke-by-token_id branch gets its negative case: unknown ids
revoke nothing and leave live sessions alone.

* docs: SLATE_HOST no longer cites the deleted platform-detect bin

Host detection lives in the hosts/ registry via host-config-export.ts;
the doc's known-gaps list now says so instead of pointing at a bin this
branch removed.

* test(e2e): headroom for the two plan-ceo-review budget-edge tests

Both rode their 360s runner budget at the edge (main clears at 243s of
360s), and the wave legitimately adds work to the review: the evidence
directive tells the agent to probe before claiming, and the design-doc
discovery block adds bash steps. Under concurrent in-file children the
API queuing tipped all retry attempts past the ceiling — the runner then
reports $0.00/0 turns for a timed-out child, which reads like a dead
spawn but is a healthy child killed at the deadline. 540s runner / 660s
test for these two only; verified 2/2 green at 228s and 315s.

* fix(code-intelligence): gbrain search/export are consent-gated and receipted

The Sourcebot side got this in the last round; gbrain had the same hole —
search() and export() sent repo-derived query text into a possibly-remote
DATABASE_URL with no consent check and no egress receipt, bypassing the
deny-tier veto. Both now assert consent before any bytes move, receipts
record the actual consent state (never a hardcoded true), and search
receipts carry the query's sha256. gbrain stays fail-closed: the adapter
cannot see where DATABASE_URL points, so every send requires consent.
7 new tests, red-first.

* fix(make-pdf): SVG remote refs and image-set can no longer fetch offline

<svg><image href=https://…> and <use xlink:href=…> survived the gate (only
javascript: schemes were stripped from svg hrefs), and bare-string
image-set("https://…" 1x) dodged the url()-shaped neutralizer. Remote
svg hrefs rewrite to '#' (entity-decode-aware, unclosed-svg smuggle
closed) and remote image-set args neutralize to url(#). Local fragments,
local image-set, and plain <a> links pinned intact. 12 new rows, red-first.

* fix(browse): duplicate config keys read last-wins, matching gstack-config

readGstackConfigYamlKey took the FIRST match while gstack-config's get
takes the LAST — a duplicated pair_agent or telemetry line made the two
consent surfaces disagree about what the user chose.

* fix(setup): stale Chromium-install lock self-heals

The mkdir mutex had no owner: a SIGKILL'd setup left the lock behind and
every later run exited with manual rmdir instructions. The holder pid is
recorded in the lock; a dead holder is reclaimed automatically.

* fix(setup-gbrain): the code-intelligence offer gate skips when the bin is absent

The new Step 1.7 told the agent to run gstack-code-intelligence before
the path pick — on installs predating the CLI (and hermetic E2E
children) the bin doesn't exist and setup derailed before doing any
setup. The gate now probes for the bin and reports offer:false
reason:bin-absent, with explicit instructions to proceed: the user asked
for gbrain, so set up gbrain. Never block setup on an optional gate.

* test(e2e): periodic-tier repairs from the failure triage

Each fix traces to a receipt: brain-privacy-gate staged config never
reached the hermetic child (ambient GSTACK_HOME is scrubbed) and the
operator's remote-mode gbrain suppressed the gate — both now injected
per-test; ship-idempotency threw away its evidence on the timeout path
and ran a 600s budget its own subject can exceed (now 900s, evidence
captured); auto-decide-preserved gets the same headroom its sibling
plan-ceo tests got; context-skills' hides-checks scanned bash output
where an ls legitimately names old checkpoints (final-text scope now);
design names the missing section instead of a bare count and learns the
easing/duration/micro-interaction synonyms; qa-workflow's collector
afterAll gets an explicit 60s hook timeout.

* fix(eval-harness): eng-review phase boundary fires on qid-tagged questions

The Step 0 boundary only matched two prose phrases, but plan-eng-review
may legitimately reach the review phase without either — every
per-finding AskUserQuestion then counted as pre-review and the batching
regression test read 0 questions while watching the agent ask them one
by one. The boundary now also fires on the first answered question
carrying a gstack-qid:eng-review- marker. Additive only; 119 runner
unit tests green.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.65.0.0)

Fork port wave 2: the release-summary entry credits Sina Matian
(time-attack/gstack) and the four absorbed community PRs. TODOS gains
three review-round follow-ups (dual-write E2E, migration runner
re-offer, gbrain-adapter op coverage).

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

* fix(eval-harness): eng-review qid boundary matches the real skill-name prefix

Live qids render as gstack-qid:plan-eng-review-<slug> ({skill}-{slug}
convention); the boundary anchored eng-review- immediately after the
colon and never matched, leaving the batching counter blind while the
transcript showed per-finding questions being asked one by one.

* fix(setup-gbrain): never ask the provider question inside /setup-gbrain

Invoking /setup-gbrain IS the provider choice. Step 1.7 now records
'select gbrain' best-effort and proceeds straight to setup; the offer
ceremony is reserved for entry points where no provider was named. On
machines where the code-intelligence CLI exists, the offer:true path
was hijacking setup into the provider ceremony and the E2E child never
reached MCP registration.

* chore: file the three documented-red periodic tests as structural-repair TODOs

Sidebar trio exercises endpoints removed on every tree; ship-idempotency's
PTY child never receives its typed command; brain-privacy-gate has never
been green anywhere. Each carries its triage receipt in the entry.

* test(e2e): setup-gbrain remote — hermetic env via opts, evidence on failure, output-scoped classifier

Three separate defects stacked on this one test: the ambient
GBRAIN_MCP_TOKEN/GSTACK_HOME/PATH mutations never reached the child
(hermetic-env scrubs them by allowlist — broken since hermetic env
landed; the child correctly stopped at Step 4c with NEEDS_CONTEXT),
failures discarded the in-memory transcript so every triage started
blind, and the wrote-findings-before-asking classifier scanned the full
event stream where the child's own Read of the skill file always
contains the review-report phrase. Env now goes via opts.env, failures
dump bash commands + final text, and the classifier scans assistant
output only. Green in 67s with all seven asserts.

* test: final coverage pass — CLI rendering, revert traps, keychain probe, gbrain doc ops

The user-directed third generation pass closes the audit's remaining
tail: the code-intelligence CLI's options/status/suggest surfaces get
behavioral coverage through the fake-shim chain; brain-context-load
gains an argv-logging trap that goes red if anyone reverts the memoized
PATH scan back to the spawn probe (receipt: simulated revert failed
exactly these tests); the darwin Keychain auth branch (#1890) gets its
first free-tier tests via a PATH-shimmed security binary; and the gbrain
add/delete/export ops are pinned (body piped byte-for-byte, receipt
sha256, stdin-EOF prompt guard, PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE degradation) —
retiring their TODOS entry.

* test: assemble the planted PEM at runtime so the fixture never trips the prepush guard

The repo's own credential guard scans pushed diffs and correctly
blocked these fixtures: the engine flags any one-line BEGIN…END
spelling regardless of body. Header, body, and footer are now joined
at runtime, so the file and every diff of it stay clean while the
scanner under test still receives the true live shape.

* docs: update project documentation for v1.65.0.0

README gains the two wave-2 CLIs (gstack-code-intelligence,
gstack-verify-gate) in the standalone-binaries table, BROWSER.md
documents BROWSE_PERSIST_STATE next to manual state save/load,
CONTRIBUTING's CI section lists the new supply-chain gates, and
CLAUDE.md's project tree reflects lib/code-intelligence/ and the
added workflows.

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

* docs: apply cross-model doc-review fixes for v1.65.0.0

Findings from the release doc review, verified against source:
verify-gate's README row gains the actual install one-liner (setup
never registers the Stop hook; test/verify-gate.test.ts pins that)
and the 3-blocked-re-entries yield behavior; code-intelligence's row
gains the suggest subcommand and the search-side consent gate;
CONTRIBUTING scopes the SHA-pin claim to the supply-chain workflows
and widens the dependency-review trigger; BROWSER.md's restore-time
cookie drop list matches isInternalCookieDomain; CLAUDE.md's
workflows comment stops implying six workflows are all of them.

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

* docs: CHANGELOG accuracy pass — scope the SHA-pin claim, restore-time cookie filter, exact test counts

* test: env restore runs per-test, not per-suite — the leak that failed 30 strangers

gstack-memory-helpers saved HOME/GSTACK_HOME/PATH in beforeEach but
restored in afterAll, so the last beforeEach's snapshot won and a
gstack-test-engine temp dir leaked into every later file in the same
process: gstack-config read the wrong store, make-pdf's child resolved
Chromium under the temp cache, update-check and artifacts-init lost
their real homes. afterAll is now afterEach; the config and
update-check harnesses also strip GSTACK_HOME/GSTACK_STATE_ROOT from
child env as a belt.

* fix(browse): restore the #1846 start-timeout resolution the merge dropped

The v1.64.1.0 merge kept this branch's lock design in cli.ts and
silently lost main's resolveStartTimeout + late health re-check while
their test survived — ported both back in alongside the kept design.

* test: adapt main's diagnostics tests to the merged designs

cli-lock asserts typed ServerLockError (errno + lock path) instead of
the log-and-return shape the merge didn't keep, dropping only the one
duplicate of server-lock-errors coverage; the liveness tripwire exempts
error-handling.ts as the sanctioned tasklist site; snapshot and
compare-board wrappers pass the now-mandatory browser-manager arg;
background.js's test pins that the retired sidebar-command type is
rejected pre-gate with no response fields.

* chore: gitignore the gen-accessors tool's SPM build output

skill-e2e-ios-swift-build compiles the Swift package in place, leaving
.build/ (2,800+ files) and Package.resolved untracked after every
periodic run — the workspace read as ~100 dirty changes with a clean
tree. Same class as the dist/ binaries: build output, never committed.

* test(browse): subprocess budget for the polyfill suite on Windows CI

Every test here spawnSync's a node child; cold-start on the Windows
runner (AV scan, first node.exe touch) blew bun's 5s default by 7ms on
a 50ms sleep test. File-level 20s default — subprocess budget, not
assertion looseness.

* test: make the Darwin migration path and the query-timeout SKIP deterministic on Linux CI

The v1.65 migration suite relied on the host being macOS — on the
ubicloud runner the script's uname gate early-exited every test with
empty output; a Darwin uname shim in the shared setup runs the real
path everywhere (the non-Darwin test still overrides it with Linux).
The 1ms-budget brain-context test assumed 1ms is always too short; the
runner's fake gbrain answered in 0ms and no SKIP printed — the fake now
sleeps 300ms so the timeout is a certainty, while --version stays
instant for the detection assertion.
