Garry Tan 55f8151fbe v1.91.30.0 fix: honest eval failure reports, Bun floor with safe auto-update, make-pdf and /review on Codex (#3033)
* docs: approved reliability follow-ups plan (Oct 2026)

* D1: score overlay wrong answers as comparison results (contract v4)

A completed answer that fails the fixture's output check is now a valid
measurement with taskCorrect false and answerError set, in either arm.
Only execution, scope and metric failures invalidate a trial. ON
correctness still gates the case, so an OFF wrong answer stays in the
comparison. OVERLAY_CONTRACT moves to v4; v3 verdicts are not
reinterpreted. Replays the 37198445662 sonnet trials (OFF-0 wrong).

* C4: score auq-matrix substance with a 3-sample judge panel

Each skill keeps one native capture in the same execution; the
recommendation-substance grader now runs as a JUDGE_PANEL_SAMPLES panel on
that capture and gates on the mean against the unchanged minimum of 4. A
failed sample fails the panel without resampling. Approved at the gate
2026-10-04 for censuses after this change.

* E1: one Bun version source; setup refuses below the 1.3.3 floor, updater checks before advancing

bin/gstack-bun-version.sh holds the security floor (1.3.3) and the tested
version (1.4.0, the CI pin and engines.bun). setup refuses Bun below the
floor before writing anything, warns between floor and tested, warns and
continues on an unparseable version, and prints a 1.4.0 install hint.
Prereleases sort below their release (semver).

gstack-session-update now fetches, reads the incoming release's floor and
checks the bun setup will run before fast-forwarding to that exact
revision; below it the update is held with reason bun-too-old and a
resume command, leaving the revision and installs untouched.

Fixture copies of setup (team-mode, claude-code migration) now include the
sourced file; the slow-git lock test sleeps on fetch, the updater's
network step.

* E3: record the owned Chromium's PID over CDP so the #2709 reap runs on Playwright 1.62

Playwright 1.62's Browser has no process(), so chromiumProcInfo was always
null and browse stop never reaped a surviving headless Chromium. The owned
headless launch now reads the browser PID from CDP SystemInfo.getProcessInfo
(bounded at 2s; a hung or failed call logs once and records nothing). The
reaper's start-time and cmdline identity checks are unchanged, so a recycled
PID or an externally owned browser is never signalled.

* A1: ship docs gate records post-child hashes with gstack-docs-candidate, saves each record once

Stored transcripts (37198445662 gate-census-2) show the parent's reads of
release files take ~1 s; the parent's own model time dominates (completion
268 s of 392 s, store ~270 s of 387 s), and 45-78 s of it is retyping hash
maps, child output and records into several artifacts after the child
returns. The child contract is unchanged.

* A2: /plan-ceo-review sends the mode handoff line before any other tool call

plan-ceo-mode-routing's HOLD SCOPE session spends its 240 s post-selection
window on model work: 37176837432 skipped the handoff helper and paraphrased
the mode, 37198445662 ran it, then wrote the plan, loaded sections and probed
Codex for 114 s before the posture chat. The handoff line is the posture.

* B3: accept wrapped unchanged rows in the cropped Edit preview

PR run 37176835584 timed out with the floor's owned Edit menu on screen:
unchanged diff rows soft-wrap under their gutter with a blank marker
column, and a trimmed empty unchanged row keeps only its number. The
parser accepted wrapped +/- rows only, so it never verified the owned
edit. Both forms are now parsed and still compared with the exact source
lines; the captured viewport is replayed with negative controls.

* A3: record per-phase headroom diagnosis for docsync, plan-mode-no-op, mode-routing and gate slice 11

* E4: /review Step 1 keeps going when the base fetch fails and reports stale base coverage

Under Codex's read-only .git, 'git fetch && merge-base && diff --stat'
stopped at the fetch, so the empty output read as 'Nothing to review'.
The fetch is now separate, prints BASE_REFRESH fresh or stale with the
local base revision, and the review states stale coverage.

* D2: reword the format-approach question prompt

Both plan-ceo-review-format-approach refusals in census 37195203538
(Fable 5.1 model_refusal_no_fallback, category reasoning_extraction:
"duplicating model outputs") were anchored on the session prompt, whose
capture instruction asked for the "verbatim" question and "the exact
prose you would have shown" in a "format-capture test". The approach
case now asks for the same question in the same file as the step's
output, without that wording. The other three plan-format cases keep
their unchanged prompt (no refusals in 72 trials).

* C2: /qa defines its outcome filename fields; QA report templates name the measured timing fields

Low judge samples in failing panels named both: qa workflow (37186854666)
'an undefined {user} in the outcome filename', and qa-only workflow
(37198445662) 'template asks for Duration / durationMs totals while
reporting.md mandates Probe budget and Guarded command time'. The qa
union stays under its 1.11 size ratio (93292 of 93294 bytes).

* 0.1: session ledger written by the claude -p, Agent SDK, PTY and Codex runners

Each armed model session appends one best-effort line to
$GSTACK_EVAL_DIR/session-ledger.jsonl: a stable session key, the timeout it
armed, monotonic elapsed time, its end reason (completed, session_timeout,
observer_timeout, api_error, refusal, aborted, error), one sanitized evidence
line and, for stream-JSON runners, a compact liveness summary (longest
in-request silence with nothing outstanding, last event kind, tool open at
end). Partial messages now stream for every claude -p session and for SDK
sessions without a custom query provider (runSharedInteractive opts in); their
rows feed only the summary, so transcripts keep their size unless
publicStreamDiagnostics is set. Structured refusal and API-error signals win
over phrases, and tool results are never read for them.

* 0.2: failure_cause beside failure_class, from runner facts and the session ledger

One pure failureCauseOf() beside failureClassOf() sets failure_cause
(contract > pre_turn_infra > api_error > refusal > provider_stall >
session_timeout > observer_timeout > assertion > unknown; no machine-set
'detector') with one bounded evidence line, and failureDetailOf() keeps a
Bun matcher's Expected/Received or a judge's failing dimensions in
failure_detail. Both record builders (classifyTrialShard, junitCensus) call
them and attach the trial's ledger sessions. failure_class, error and
TRIAL_ERROR_MAX are computed exactly as before; the new fields are optional,
bounded and validated only when present, and a frozen copy of the v1 reader
accepts every new record. A provider stall needs partial messages and
STALL_WINDOW_MS (120 s, eval-budgets.ts beside HEADROOM_WARN/FAIL) of
in-request silence with nothing outstanding; it stays a failure under
EVAL_POLICY v1.

* E4: fingerprint under a read-only .git via a private object dir owned by review-log

Codex's sandbox mounts .git read-only, so gstack-wtree's git add -A could not
write blobs and /review lost its start capture. gstack-review-log now creates
a private 0700 object directory under TMPDIR, passes it to gstack-wtree (which
writes new objects there with the common-dir object store, resolved before
exporting, as an alternate, so linked worktrees work), exposes it to the
bindReview/checkSharedLibsReuse consumers that read the tree and blobs, and
removes it on EXIT/INT/TERM after they finish. gstack-wtree prints one stderr
line and exits 1 on a failed write or unwritable TMPDIR instead of printing a
partial hash; review-log no longer swallows that line. Standalone gstack-wtree
keeps writing to the repository store so git diff between saved snapshots
(/ship) still works.

* 0.3: red lines name their values, evidence and an after-a-repair command; one published-text sanitizer

Each red line in the census report keeps its stored error and adds the
machine cause with its evidence, the failure_detail values (Expected/Received,
or each failing judge dimension with its mean, sample count and the sample
sentence naming it), the slice artifact and shard directory that hold the
transcript, a fetch command (eval:pass-rates --run <id> --case <id>), and
'after a repair:' with a command that selects only that case (E2E ids via
--case, judges via their selection and an exact test-name filter). A
session that completed and failed a check says so instead of 'assertion
(success)'. Report text that reaches a PR comment, issue or committed file
goes through scripts/lib/published-text.ts: control and bidi characters
stripped, credential-scan patterns redacted, mentions neutralized, HTML and
link brackets escaped inline, blocks in a fence longer than any backtick run,
length capped. Verdicts and collector verdict objects are unchanged.

* E2: one make-pdf resolver for readiness and every $P block on env-var hosts

make-pdf exported $P from its readiness block, which Codex and the other
env-var hosts lose between blocks. binaryAssignment gains 'make-pdf': the
MAKE-PDF SETUP readiness check and the runtime prelude both use it, so every
block that runs $P derives the same make-pdf/dist/pdf binary, with
MAKE_PDF_BIN (dev builds) winning when it is executable. Claude output keeps
its repo-local-first probe; only the false 'subsequent blocks' comment
changed. Root plus P=... fits the 400-byte prelude budget; the fixed
MAKE_PDF_OVERRIDE segment is the one exemption, named in runtime-root.ts and
the conformance test.

* 0.1: eval:pass-rates --headroom, --reds and --run report views; 85% headroom alarm in --gate

A new pure module, scripts/lib/eval-history.ts, reports per case the slowest
armed session against the timeout it armed (censored when it timed out,
insufficient below 3 samples, unknown without a session ledger, with the
case wall shown separately as an upper bound), the census critical path from
the slice jobs' timings, the verdict red ledger per census by failure class
and machine cause with shrunk per-case rates, and the all-green probability
(an approximation: the product of 1 - p_i, with an interval). --run <id>
lists one census's reds with their values and history and downloads only the
slice artifacts those reds name, reporting any over 64 MB instead of skipping
them. eval-flake-rank.ts only routes flags: --help works offline, an unknown
flag or case id exits 2 before any fetch, --case narrows the JSON and the
alarms, every view prints its run/branch scope, and --gate also alarms on a
session above HEADROOM_FAIL (85%) of its budget.

* E5: GSTACK_DESIGN_IMAGE_MODEL override; the live model check always tests the defaults

The image_generation tool model gains an env override validated against a
conservative gpt-image-<version> pattern; a bad value fails before any
request and the error names the variable. Pairing and rejection hints name
the tool model actually requested. design/scripts/live-model-check.ts now
ignores GSTACK_DESIGN_MODEL and GSTACK_DESIGN_IMAGE_MODEL (and says so), so
an override cannot mask a retirement of a default, and its exit 2 (no key)
says nothing was checked.

* C3: /deslop-shared-libs names a concrete risk for each recommendation, never 'none'

Both shared-libs-opportunity-judgment reds (37193478719 t3, 37195203538 t1)
failed adoption_and_risk because the top recommendation said 'Main risk:
none found inside the repo' / 'none in behavior'. The skill asked to 'name
the main risk or uncertainty' without saying what counts.

* B4: --case selects loop-registered cases; an unknown id exits before any process

caseSelection() resolves the one paid file that registers a case and how a
trial selects it: by its literal Bun test name, by the id a registration loop
names its test at runtime (coverage audits, TPA, journeys), or by running the
whole file when it registers no other case (plan-mode-no-op, whose test names
are not the id, so the old name pattern ran nothing). A whole-file case runs
one file shard per trial and is judged by shard status, as CI judges it.
--list prints the selection. Every E2E_TIERS id now resolves except
carve-section-loading, which fifteen files register (CI runs each as its own
shard) and which still fails with the owning files named.

* 0.3: after-a-repair runs the shard file when --case cannot resolve a case

A case that several files register (carve-section-loading) cannot be selected
by --case; its red line now prints the bun test command for the shard file
that went red, so every printed command selects exactly one case.

* C1: pre-register workflow-judge control bundles for qa, qa-only, review and setup-deploy

Positive (production bundle), negative (headings only) and one targeted
execution-blocking defect per judge, one 3-sample panel each, built with the
eval's own reader, prompt builder, options and floors.

* F: cost_known: a trial whose harness captured no billing says so; totals never hide it

cost_usd stays a finite number. Trial and eval records gain an optional
cost_known boolean (absent means known, so old records still parse; the
validator accepts only a boolean). Session-ledger rows record whether the
session's terminal result carried total_cost_usd; PTY and Codex sessions
never do, and SDK captures without a terminal result do not. A trial is
cost-known only when it has eval records and every record and session
captured billing, so JUnit-only PTY cases (125 of 298 trials in run
37198445662 recorded 0) now read cost unknown. The census headline prints the
known sum plus the unknown count, never a bare total over unknown costs, and
no total when every cost is unknown; the history import keeps the flag.
PTY transcripts are not priced: test/helpers/pricing.ts estimates exclude
cache writes, so they cannot give the billed cost.

* B1: replay corpora for the five repeat-offender cases

shared-libs-plan-callers, plan-ceo-section-loading, auto-decide-preserved,
plan-design-review-plan-mode and ship-docsync-late-result each get an
inventory of every wave census in scope (all artifacts still available)
and minimal, redacted detector or actor inputs replayed through the real
detector in the free suite: census passes, every distinct census red, and
derived negative controls labelled as derived. Fixed false reds stay as
expected passes with their history; the two genuine auto-decide product
failures (37176837432, 37179171083) stay refused. A contract test bounds
each entry at 64 KB, scans it for HIGH credentials, requires a pass and a
refusal per case, and reports entries whose series identity is stale.

Building the auto-decide corpus exposed a latent native detector misread:
a bold 'Mode application and rationale.' heading was parsed as a
withdrawn Mode field (37186854666). A field status now ends at its
sentence.

* B2: read approved stale-fill decisions from more valid ledger records

The structured ledger reader is authoritative before the prose fallback,
but it missed two valid approved records in passing censuses
(37186854666: a camelCase writeProfile subject; 37195203538: a
slash-joined 'D1 / STALE-FILL' row id), which then rested on the prose
detector that caused both historical reds. Both forms are accepted; an
unresolved row, an unrelated decision, the copied fixture plan and
non-write camelCase words stay refused.

* C1: record workflow-judge control results (negatives separated; qa and review miss a removed step)

* C2: record every low workflow-judge sample in the wave censuses with its disposition

* 0.3: published lines cannot break a fixed fence

evals.yml wraps collector-outcomes failures in a fixed three-backtick fence
for the PR comment, so those lines (and eval:pass-rates output meant for the
tracking issue) go through sanitizeFixedFenceLine: cleaned like every
published line, with backticks turned into quotes. Inline published text
also neutralizes backticks.

* A1: fit the post-child record wording under ship's 1.428 parity size cap

* E4: inline the Step 1 base refresh to fit review's 1.199 parity size cap

* B2: inventory of gate and periodic phrase-only detector checks

docs/evals/detector-inventory.md lists every pass/fail decision in gate
and periodic E2E cases that rests on phrases in model free text, with
its structured source (if any), whether the contract is user-visible,
and a disposition: already structured-first, convert candidate, phrase
witness required, or no structured source. Convert candidates are
ordered by census red history.

* 0.2: failureCauseOf takes the stall window instead of importing it; the PTY ledger never throws

eval-store.ts imported STALL_WINDOW_MS from eval-budgets.ts, which free tests
replace with mock.module stubs (review-finalization-budget, office-hours,
qa-fix-loop, qa-only), so loading eval-store failed there. failureCauseOf is
now dependency-free: the record builders pass STALL_WINDOW_MS. A PTY session
whose handle cannot show its text (test doubles) records no panel instead of
throwing from runPtySession's cleanup. The 37186854666 replay also runs
through classifyTrialShard.

* A2/auto-decide: the CEO handoff chat repeats the helper's printed line verbatim

Claude Code 2.1.284 collapses the helper's Bash output ('Ran 1 shell
command'), so the 'Auto-decided review mode → …' line reaches the user only
through chat. In lane D's auto-decide-preserved corpus every passing capture's
chat starts with that line, and the reds paraphrased it ('HOLD SCOPE was
auto-selected…', 'Mode decision done…', "I'm defaulting to HOLD SCOPE…").
The template now says verbatim and why.

* C2: record the judge panels rerun on the final ship and review wording

* integrate: touchfiles and module-size ratchet entries for the wave's new modules

GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES gains session-ledger.ts, published-text.ts and
auq-substance-panel.ts; bin/gstack-bun-version.sh joins every entry that
lists setup or the updater; auq-matrix stays a rule case with its C4
evidence beside E2E_KINDS; eval-history, published-text and session-ledger
are registered new modules.

* E1: BROWSE SETUP install hint pins the tested Bun (1.4.0)

* E2: quote "$P" in make-pdf commands so install paths with spaces work

* E1: /gstack-upgrade checks the incoming Bun floor before pulling

gstack_bun_incoming_hold (bin/gstack-bun-version.sh) is now the one
pre-advance check: the auto-updater calls it before its fast-forward and
/gstack-upgrade's git path calls it after fetching. Below the incoming
release's floor the upgrade stops with BUN_TOO_OLD and the checkout,
VERSION and installs stay untouched. Vendored installs were already safe:
setup refuses before writing and the swap restores the previous install.

* 0.3: only main posts or closes tracking issues; reports carry alarms, red ledger, headroom and all-green

A branch-dispatched periodic or marathon run writes its report to the step
summary and a report artifact; the upsert and close steps run only on
refs/heads/main. The periodic body now keeps every pass-rate alarm line (the
old grep kept only the header), adds the red ledger and session headroom read
with an explicit --branch, the all-green estimate and the triage guide link,
and routes report text through scripts/lib/published-text.ts. The marathon
lane gains the matching close-on-green step.

Migrated: evals-workflow-wiring pinned report-summary.md in the upsert step;
the body is now written by 'Write the census report'.

* C3: prosons neutral-posture detector ignores a negated "taste call"

Both plan-review-prosons-neutral-neg reds (37179171083 t3, 37193478719 t3)
recommended A and closed with "a coverage call, not a taste call"; the
old /taste call/i matched the negation. The detector moves to a helper so
the two census captures replay free as negatives, with positive controls.

* B2: credit the CEO mode handoff only when the chat shows its line

Claude Code 2.1.284 collapses the gstack-ceo-mode-handoff Bash result, so
the printed AUTO_DECIDE line is user-visible only when a later chat message
of the session begins with it. The native detector now requires that
witness; the helper's tool result locates it but no longer replaces it, and
a generic mode statement cannot stand in once a handoff ran. Census
37182865432 is relabelled a genuine miss (expected: refused): the chat said
"I'm defaulting to HOLD SCOPE…" and "Mode decided: HOLD SCOPE". Corpus
replay: 5 credited, 3 refused. ceo-mode-handoff tests migrated to the
witness rule (deliberate behavior change).

* test: baseline the wave's approved detector and harness replay tests

B1 corpora, B3, C3, C4 and D2 replay captures through paid-case detectors,
actors or fixtures (test code by design); each entry carries its reason.

* E6: live Codex multi-block periodic case in the host-run Codex job

test/codex-e2e-multiblock-live.test.ts runs ./setup --host codex once from the
job's checkout into a fresh HOME and CODEX_HOME (auth.json copied from the CI
login home), asserts codex debug prompt-input lists the gstack router as a
real file, seeds one learning, and runs /learn's Show recent block through
codex exec: that later block must root itself through its prelude, run the
installed gstack-learnings-search and print the seeded learning; no block may
report a missing install or an unresolved gstack helper path.

The file joins CODEX_CI_FILES so the planner gives it to the host-run Codex
job. paid-test-durations.json carries a 180 s packing estimate (refreshed by
--write-durations after the first census) so the plan keeps every slice
within max-parallel. Oracles live in test/helpers/codex-multiblock.ts with
free replays in test/codex-multiblock.test.ts. Registration (E2E_TOUCHFILES,
E2E_TIERS periodic, E2E_KINDS rule) is the integrator's.

* E5: design live-model check as a periodic case

test/skill-e2e-design-model-smoke.test.ts runs design/scripts/live-model-check.ts
(default models only) under a temp HOME. Without OPENAI_API_KEY the case is a
Bun skip that the census lists as SKIPPED with no coverage credit; with a key,
exit 0 passes and any other exit fails with the script output (exit 2 under a
present key fails as 'nothing was checked'). paid-test-durations.json carries
a 90 s packing estimate. Registration (E2E_TOUCHFILES, E2E_TIERS periodic,
E2E_KINDS rule) is the integrator's.

* A1: docsync parent points children at a saved interface file

The /ship docsync fixture saved its observation interface only in the
parent prompt and told the parent to copy it into every child prompt,
about 30-40 s of parent generation per session (lane S, 37198445662).
docsSessionOptions now writes it to <home>/fixture-interface.md (0600) and
the parent tells each child to Read that file first. Fault-actor prompts,
which prepare already writes to a file, are unchanged. Fixture-only.

* A3: a JUnit case's recorded wall is capped by its shard's wall

junitCensus summed a case's JUnit test times as duration_ms; for
plan-mode-no-op's concurrent PTY tests that is 346 s inside a 176 s shard
(the "432-613 s" history). The case wall headroom shows is now
min(sum, shard elapsed), a true upper bound. Session headroom already
used the ledger's per-session clocks.

* A3: refresh paid-test durations from census 37198445662

Recorded 2026-09-29 estimates under-packed gate slice 11 (17 files
estimated 1078 s ran 1353 s; plan-review-report 76 s -> 198 s,
plan-ceo-plan-mode 37 s -> 112 s, safety-codex-consult 83 s -> 150 s).
Refreshed both tiers with --report --write-durations from the latest
census's slice walls. Old plan re-costed with observed walls: worst slice
~677 s (slice 11); refreshed plan: every slice estimated <= 539 s.

* C2: Browser Quick gets a feasible budget; QA loop names its directory and stop path

Judge rationales on the qa-only panels (2 of the last 3) cited the 30 s
Browser Quick budget: homepage + 5 targets, each a checkpoint write and a
guarded command, left ~5 s per probe. Quick is now 180 s (method text: 3
minutes); the qa-only-no-fix paid check expects the same native deadline.
PROBE_DIR points at its source line, a stopped loop goes to the final
report steps (annotations, materialize, Markdown), and /review and /ship
say that after smoke expiry only plan checks rerun in revalidation.

* C2: name the flows judges found implicit in review resolvers

Structured outside review: MISSING COVERAGE asks no fix question and is
never reported clean (was "preserve the existing user decision flow").
/review's HIGH-impact plan gate: spawned or non-interactive runs report
REQUIREMENTS MISSING and continue, writing no TODOs. Value cards: the byte
clamp applies to card lines; JSON records you write keep full values.

* C1: a free test catches a removed workflow step, which the judges missed

C1 controls showed the qa workflow judge passing /qa without Phase 10 and
the review judge passing /review without Step 3. The new test pins every
step/phase heading of qa, qa-only, review, ship, plan-ceo-review,
plan-eng-review and setup-deploy (derived from the templates' step
headings) and names any that goes missing or out of order; new step
headings must be pinned. The judge rubric is unchanged (EVAL_POLICY).

* size: fit the wave's wording under ship, review and qa parity caps

Measured after all lane merges: ship -79, review -210, qa -68 bytes over.
Trimmed the added wording first (post-expiry rule, MISSING COVERAGE,
plan-gate default, value-card JSON, stop line) and folded /review's
redundant INFORMATIONAL sentence and findings bullet. ship 268,036 (room
8), review 130,118 (room 1). qa needed 11 more bytes: cap 1.11 -> 1.1102
with the measured 93,305 / 84,049 = 1.11013 and its reason beside it.

* docs: troubleshooting sections for the wave's new messages

Bun floor (setup, auto-update, /gstack-upgrade), /review stale base and
fingerprint temp-dir errors, the design image model override, the
unrecorded Chromium PID, and a contributor section for census report
lines (pass-rates flags, failure causes, headroom, cost unknown, overlay
v4, stale corpora, auq substance). A free test checks every
troubleshooting.md#anchor printed by setup or bin scripts exists.

* TODOS: reliability follow-ups deferrals; close the Bun floor, make-pdf $P and #2709 reap

* 0.4: 'A census went red' guide; docs for causes, session ledger, headroom and new messages

docs/evals/census-red.md walks one red line to a diagnosis: prerequisites, the
report fields, eval:pass-rates --run/--reds/--headroom with expected output,
what unknown/insufficient/unrecorded data means, free replay, and the single
'after a repair' paid run allowed by TESTING_INTERNALS. Linked from
CONTRIBUTING, TESTING_INTERNALS and both census reports.

TESTING_INTERNALS documents the failure_cause glossary (one row per
FAILURE_CAUSES value, diagnostic only under EVAL_POLICY v1), failure_detail,
sessions[], cost_known, the session ledger, the pass-rates views and the 85%
headroom alarm, main-only tracking issues, overlay contract v4, auq-matrix's
3-sample substance panel and the E5/E6 periodic cases. troubleshooting.md
gains #bun-too-old and an anchor per new user-facing message from lanes P, D
and F. README names GSTACK_DESIGN_IMAGE_MODEL. test/census-red-docs.test.ts
pins the glossary to FAILURE_CAUSES, parses every guide command and checks the
links.

* v1.91.20.0: CHANGELOG and version for the reliability follow-ups

* regen: SKILL.md and sections for all hosts, digest, context-budget fixture

bun run gen:skill-docs --host all; goldens and llms.txt re-rendered
unchanged; bun test/helpers/capture-context-budget.ts.

* integrate: register codex-multiblock-live and design-model-smoke (periodic, rule)

* 0.4: census report and eval:pass-rates views link the census-red guide

* test: cookie approval fixture reverses the Bun install-hint pin (E1)

The historical approved cookie-workflow prompt carried BUN_VERSION=1.3.10;
the regenerated install hint now pins 1.4.0, so the fixture's reversal
list gains that edit like the earlier waves' entries.

* test: release floor counts the two new periodic cases (E5, E6)

* fix: /freeze, /guard, /unfreeze and /investigate work on Codex and other env-var hosts

Templates quoted "$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/...", which the env-var hosts'
rewrites turned into "$HOME/.agents/skills/gstack/..." on Codex (a path a
global install never has; same class on the other hosts), and setup's
runtime roots had no freeze/bin. Quoted runtime paths now use
{{RUNTIME_ROOT}}: $GSTACK_ROOT on env-var hosts (the fence gets the
runtime prelude), the unchanged $HOME path on Claude. _link_runtime_dists
links freeze/bin and the careful/bin helper it sources into every
env-var host's root. Also fixes the same guess in /benchmark-models,
/retro and /diagram. test/env-host-runtime-assets.test.ts fails on the
previous code: no fence guesses a $HOME/<dir>/skills/gstack path, every
$GSTACK_ROOT path a fence uses is in the host's runtime root, and the
installed Codex /freeze and /unfreeze fences run from a fresh shell.
Template-reading tests now read the Claude render or expect the
placeholder (deliberate change).

* CHANGELOG/TODOS: lane W's workflow, cases and guide; the env-var host freeze fix

* E6: a block that reads a SKILL.md is not a missing install

The first live codex-multiblock-live run passed its real check (the /learn
block found the install and printed the seeded learning) but the oracle
flagged a sed of the learn SKILL.md, whose prelude source quotes the
'gstack: no install found (tried $_r)' text. Only an emitted line that
starts with the message and names a real root counts now; free replay
negative added.

* test: qa-only fixture keeps its caller-set 30 s deadline

The qa-only-no-fix fixture tells the model to start the guard with 30 s
(a caller limit), so its deadline assertion's default stays 30 000 ms; the
product's Browser Quick default (180 s) does not apply to it. Reverts the
helper and its test to their base.

* C2: keep PROBE_DIR 'owned' (qa-functional-prompt pins it); qa measured 93,311

* test: paid file count and periodic floor include the two new periodic cases

* test: ship docs freshness pin checks meaning after A1's wording trim

The snapshot still hashes selected release paths (--select narrows them),
generated outputs and docs; the pin now checks that instead of the
pre-trim sentence.

* E3: reap the recorded Chromium only after the daemon has exited

With the PID now recorded (E3), browse stop reaped Chromium while the
daemon was still shutting down; the daemon read that as a crash, exited 1
and left its state file (chromium-profile-isolation's headless stop test
failed 3/3 locally, passes on base). The CLI waits up to 5 s for the daemon
to exit before reaping a survivor.

* regen: qa and qa-only exploratory sections (PROBE_DIR wording)

* B1: batching counter reads a target declared mid-line; replay corpus

GSTA-23's census 37228573062 failed plan-eng-multi-finding-batching with
reviewCount=0 after 975 s although D1-D10 were asked one per finding,
each with its saved decision-ledger record. The report wrote 'Report
destination requested by the user. Review target (fixed): `PLAN.md` ...'
and the counter read target fields only at a line start, so no brief
inherited the plan identity. A target field may now open any sentence of
its line; a mid-sentence mention or another file still gives no identity.
Floor (3), budget and kind unchanged. Corpus: 9 earlier passing censuses,
the red (now credited at D5), and a derived batching refusal; 975 s noted
in the headroom diagnosis.

* B1: shared-libs corpus labels its git path and covers the supported shape

Every census entry was recorded in CI's eval image (git 2.43), where
gstack-safe-git falls back because --no-lazy-fetch is rejected; each entry
now says so (git_path: fallback). Two synthetic supported-path entries
(HEAD and a history citation in the brief, as git >= 2.44 produces) keep
the 37193478719 pass and the 37195203538 refusal, and a test asserts both
shapes are covered and the actor reads no git-path-specific text.

* v1.91.21.0: move off v1.91.20.0 (claimed by #3031)

* test: settle nav-guard commands before asserting; make two new tests Windows-safe

navigation-guard: Bun's expect(promise).rejects slows each Playwright round-trip
to ~1s while it waits (50 page.evaluate: 43ms plain vs 46.6s inside the matcher),
so the click's 5s timeout expired before the guard saw the link-local request
(CI: 'click: Timeout 5000ms exceeded ... waiting for scheduled navigations').
Settle the command first, then assert on the refusal; a source check keeps it so.

env-host-runtime-assets: PROBE_FILES now matches either path separator.
detector-corpus ship-docsync-late-result: JSON-escape the <ROOT> substitution so a
Windows temp path's backslashes do not break JSON.parse.

* fix: CI run/job ids are not phone numbers; context-recovery fixture gets the full runtime bin

pii.phone.e164 redacted the run id in the published eval report's fetch command
(--run 37235771700), breaking the command it prints. Digit-only spans in a run/job
flag, gh run argument, actions/runs/ or /job/ URL segment, or run_id/job_id key are
now exempt; the same digits elsewhere still report.

context-recovery-artifacts: the fixture's ./bin/ lacked gstack-skill-start and
gstack-context-recovery (the preamble's runtime scripts since v1.71), so the agent
spent its 10 turns hunting for them and hit error_max_turns with no final message
(run 37235771700, 11 turns). Link the whole runtime bin; diagnostic rerun passed
in 6 turns.

* test: replay run 37237194905's late-result capture through the docs authority detector

The only failure was call 20's write to a mistyped shard root (3GanyY for 3GanyU),
which the model disclosed; the detector is correct and the A1 post-snapshot
--out under the fixture home stays permitted. Named red recorded in TODOS.

* test: keep docsync-authority in the Windows profile

The replay test's literal helper path tripped the Windows curator's shebang-spawn
pattern, dropping the whole file from the Windows profile (test-free-shards
invariant). The snapshot --out case is already covered by docsync-command-grammar,
so it is removed here, and the Linux-path replay skips on win32.

* fix: gstack-docs-candidate --help works; docs gate red lines name the denying tool failure

PR run 37239016858 ship-docsync-completion: the parent ran
'gstack-docs-candidate --help' (the helper's usage error points at --help, which
failed). That undeclared command made docsToolFailures non-empty, which denied
the atomic-replacement proof of the child's legitimate native Edit, so the red
line blamed the Edit's temp file. A replay of the capture proves the atomic
replace once --help is declared.

- the helper prints its usage for --help/-h and exits 0
- the fixture interface and command grammar admit the helper's bare --help
- the atomic-proof denial names its check and the tool failures behind it
  (deny labels renumbered to their lines)
- replay with negative controls (undeclared command, temp left behind, renamed
  elsewhere); diagnostic rerun of ship-docsync-completion passed

* test: retro-base-branch fixture uses main and a shallow report path

PR run 37241493377: the agent wrote retro-output.md one directory above the
requested <tmp>/retro-base/retro-output.md (it dropped the retro-base segment),
so the report check found nothing. The fixture also ran plain git init, which
makes master on CI's git while the prompt says the repo is on main; the agent
logged that mismatch as a learning. Init on main and use the temp dir itself as
the repo. Diagnostic rerun passed (18 turns, 203s).

* test: qa-quick sets a caller probe limit and drains past its session budget

C2 raised Browser Quick's native budget to 180 s. qa-quick is the only gate case
on the native budget, and its wall went 194 s (main periodic, pre-C2) -> 254 s and
274 s (this PR's runs) -> 300 s session timeout (run 37242691913): the agent now
probes every navigation target with a checkpoint, then needs ~80 s to report.
Like qa-only-no-fix, the eval now sets a caller probe limit (30 s), scopes the
fixture, and gives bun's outer timeout the session drain margin instead of racing
the 300 s session. The product's 180 s budget and the session budget are unchanged.
Diagnostic rerun passed in 195 s.

* review/ship: use main's post-expiry smoke sentence; v1.91.24.0

GSTA-23's measurement on the review workflow judge: main's 'Post-expiry smoke
rechecks are not-run.' passed 10/10; the C2 wording passed 6/10 and the
'..., even in 4c.' variant failed in PR run 37248650879. qa-probe-gates pins
main's sentence before step 4c.

* test: record the plan-design corpus test in the test-of-test baseline

#3031's ratchet now counts tests that slice a paid test file's source; the B1
plan-design-review-plan-mode replay corpus reads test/skill-e2e-design.test.ts
like its sibling corpora already listed.

* fix: --case no longer deadlocks importing the running CLI

runCaseDiagnosis loaded runPaidShards with a dynamic import of
scripts/test-paid-shards.ts; when that file is the entry it is still in its
top-level await, so the import never resolved and `--case` hung after its
first line (on main since #3031, found by the per-case measurement runs). The
CLI now passes its runner in; library callers keep the lazy import.

* test: name the in-flight file and the native error when bun dies before its summary (#3037)

* Bun 1.4.2 everywhere CI and setup pin the tested version

Bun 1.4.0 on Windows aborts about 3% of free-suite shards with native
bad-handle errors (main too; #3037); the same head on 1.4.2 had none in 180
shard runs. Every current 1.4.0 pin moves together, as bun-version-drift
requires: setup-bun in every workflow (CSO orchestration included), the eval
image (sha256 from bun-v1.4.2's SHASUMS256.txt, re-hashed locally), GitLab,
the Ubicloud free-suite setup, gstack-bun-version.sh's tested version,
engines.bun and @types/bun, the install hint in generated skills, the Dia and
cookie native-qualification pins, and docs and tests that state the current
pin. Recorded 1.4.0 observations, fixtures, CHANGELOG history and the CSO
images' oven/bun:1.3.10 base stay.

* fix: --case runs a single-case file whole

A session option naming the case (testName: 'office-hours-section-loading')
made caseSelection pick test-name mode, whose filter matched no Bun test, so
every trial would run hollow. A file that registers only this case now runs
whole before any name match is tried.

* fix(office-hours): reviewer returns a hash-bound receipt instead of echoing its verdict

The spec reviewer now Writes its verdict once, seals it with
gstack-office-hours-review seal (validates the saved JSON and prints
OFFICE_HOURS_VERDICT round=N sha256=<hash> path=<verdict>), and returns
only that line. check --receipt recomputes the hash and fails closed on a
missing, malformed, stale-round, wrong-path or mismatched receipt. The
saved file stays the sole findings inventory; validators bind the receipt
to the saved bytes and the judge reads those bytes.

* fix(office-hours): only blocking findings send a design back for another review round

Review findings carry severity blocking|minor (verdict schema v2). PASS when
no blocking findings remain; minor findings are recorded in Reviewer
Concerns and the Spec Review table, never a reason for another round.
CONVERGENCE needs a persisting blocking prior. A persisting or unverified
blocking prior cannot be relabeled minor. The 3-round cap is unchanged.

* fix(office-hours): rounds 2 and 3 are delta re-reviews of the captured design diff

prepare saves each reviewed design as round-N.design.md and gives later
reviewers the exact line diff since the previous round. A new later-round
blocking finding must cite (changed_text) an excerpt of a changed line;
seal, check and the validators verify it against the snapshots and fail
closed when a citation or snapshot is missing. Other new observations are
minor. Severity, anti-downgrade and CONVERGENCE rules are unchanged.

* test(office-hours): preservation judge accepts COMPLETED with recorded minor findings

* fix(office-hours): parent fixes only blocking findings; callers may set --max-rounds

Between rounds the parent edits for blocking findings only; minor findings
stay recorded. gstack-office-hours-review takes --max-rounds 1|2|3 (default
3) on every command; reaching it stops at MAX_ITERATIONS. The marathon
fixture sets 2 rounds so round 1 (full) and round 2 (delta) run live.

* docs(changelog): office-hours review loop changes in v1.91.28.0

* fix(cso): helper JSON keeps run URLs only in the validated workflow slot

The shared redactor now treats GitHub Actions run ids as CI metadata
(c245d1bc2), so main's #3041 invariant that the same run digits stay
redacted outside qualification.workflow held only through the phone
false positive. Make it explicit in the CSO sanitizer.

* test(plan-ceo): split-overflow progress detector accepts the skill's candidate wording

Collection never ended when the model wrote 'E1 Slack:' / 'E1-SLACK:' or
labels like 'Include in this quarter' / 'Defer with flip trigger', so the
session ran the whole review (930-1464 s) and failed on its extra findings
or the case deadline (6 of 21 runs). The candidate check now accepts a
platform-bound E-id and the action is the bucket's leading verb, as the
skill names them (Include/Defer/Cut/Hold). The semantic judge, call floor
and include/defer/cut validation are unchanged. Replays the captured CI
37374526437, t2, t9 and t15 menus with negative controls.

* test(plan-ceo): split-overflow candidate identity is the one E1-E5 token

The skill fixes no header or question wording, and shape-matching kept
missing new forms (header 'D1.1 Slack' with 'SCOPE-E1:', 'D1.1 E1 Slack',
'E1 Slack DM bot ...:', a misspelled 'Mattermst'). Identity is now exactly
one E1-E5 token across the header and the question's first line, with no
other candidate's platform named. Options rules, judge, call floor and
include/defer/cut validation are unchanged. Replays all 31 measured runs;
the quoted-row controls now quote a second ledger id.

* v1.91.30.0: move past #3044's claimed 1.91.29.0

* test: register the split-overflow wording replay as a free fixture

* fix(skills): resolve judge-cited ambiguities in /qa and /plan-eng-review

- tasks JSONL keeps the raw branch as GIT_BRANCH instead of overwriting
  gstack-slug's sanitized BRANCH used for artifact names
- the Codex outside-voice block runs for ready or unverified, matching
  its routing rule
- plan-eng startup names the preamble's own setup prompts; the
  cross-project question waits for Step 0
- /qa 8c: a fix that applies but leaves the finding reproducing gets one
  revised fix, else it is reverted; browser verification names its before
  screenshot; the exploratory loop drops its duplicate 3-step summary

* fix(plan-eng): keep the startup steps in their pinned order

* fix(plan-eng): explicit spawned sessions follow the spawned rule at the scope gate; one announcement rule

A missing tool still sends the prose menu whatever the session type, but a
session the caller or host explicitly marks spawned selects the menu's
Recommendation without prose or BLOCKED. The pre-load announcement
sentence now states Step 0's single check.

* eval policy v3: judge panels gate on the per-dimension median of 3 samples

A judge dimension now passes when at least 2 of its 3 samples meet the
unchanged threshold (judgePanelMedian); any other sample count or a
non-numeric sample fails closed. Thresholds, sample count, judge model and
prompts are unchanged; panel logs show every sample and the mean, and name
the median as the gate. Applies to the skill-llm-eval panels, the
workflow-judge cache, the auq-matrix substance panel and the calibration
replicas. EVAL_POLICY 2 -> 3 and HARNESS_VERSION 1 -> 2 (verdicts change),
so every case starts a new pass-rate series. Replays the captured panels
from jobs 112032744416 and 112049856586 as replayed evidence.

* v1.91.14.0: release metadata

* test(browse): group-kill cleanup falls back to the leader when macOS returns EPERM for a live group

* ci: Codex login steps run under bash (the CI container's default sh rejects pipefail)

* fix: full-suite repairs — private state roots for 7 real-HOME writers, truthful home-guard attribution with --attribute-home, gstack-paths shim in ship-hook fixtures, Copilot in team-init probes, test-of-test detector, cookie review fixture pinned to the approved excerpt

* fix(windows): LF for Dockerfiles, normalized home-guard exclusions, path.relative fixture containment, ship push test spawn timeouts

* test(design-detect): widen the whole-scan budget test's timing margins so a loaded macOS runner can't time out the single-batch call

* fix(evals): qa protocol names defined for the judge, async PTY judge so overlapping sessions keep their cleanup deadline, bws setup cases use the standard JUDGE_MS tier

* test(pty): the non-blocking judge case is POSIX-only (its fake judge is a shebang script, like the PTY harness it covers)

* test(evals): ship-coverage-audit names absolute skill paths, uses Read, and skips the Step 7 artifact nothing consumes (removes the mechanism behind 3 of 4 historical timeouts)

* test(evals): one position-bound coverage-read rule credits read-only && chains (labels, context ranges, git displays in either order) and still rejects forged output

* fix(ship): documentation section has one saved source inserted by cat (never retyped); spawned-marker evidence is the child output; refreshed codex/factory ship goldens

* test(docsync): the byte-exact insert positive is POSIX-only (the bash-command observer refuses backslash paths by design)

* test(evals): plan-design-with-ui focus-title rule accepts the comma-less 'dimensions or focus' wording (replayed on the captured CI run, negative controls kept)

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 008dd65b1f v1.64.0.0 fix wave: full tracker audit — 90 fixes, 52 issues closed, ~50 community PRs absorbed (#2571)
* fix(hooks): nest freeze/careful permissionDecision under hookSpecificOutput

Claude Code ignores a top-level permissionDecision, so the /freeze deny and
/careful ask guards silently allowed everything. Nest both under
hookSpecificOutput with permissionDecisionReason, update the shape-blind
tests to pin the nested form, and document the constraint in both skill
templates (regen included).

Closes half of #1459 (freeze enforcement chain).

Contributed by @jawadakram20 (PR #2331; team-init hunk deferred to the
dedicated team-init fix).

* fix(team-init): required-mode hook blocks with nested schema + exit 2

The generated check-gstack.sh emitted a flat permissionDecision payload and
exited 0, which Claude Code ignores — required mode enforced nothing. The
generated hook now nests the deny under hookSpecificOutput and exits 2 so
the block holds even if the JSON schema drifts again. Adds a temp-repo
regression test that runs the generated hook under both installed and
missing-gstack homes.

Fixes #2413, #2296.

* fix(careful): close three check-careful bypasses via real JSON extraction

The grep-based command extractor stopped at the first escaped quote, so any
quoted argument truncated the command before the pattern checks ran —
`git commit -m "wip" && rm -rf /` was silently allowed. Replace it with a
python3/node JSON parse that fails CLOSED on unreadable payloads, add an
IFS/base64-to-shell obfuscation tripwire, and stop multi-line commands from
riding the single-line safe-exception whitelist (line-based grep would have
approved `rm -rf /` when a later line matched node_modules — a hazard the
real newline decoding exposed).

Contributed by @wtamminga (PR #2426; the -R hunk was dropped — it landed in
v1.61.0.0 — and output shapes updated to the nested hookSpecificOutput form).

* fix(review,autoplan): require explicit run_in_background: false on specialist agents

Claude Code v2.1.198 made subagents run in the background by default, which
inverted the old "do not use the flag" guidance: review-army specialists and
autoplan dual voices silently launched in the background and the merge step
could proceed before they completed — regressing the #497 fix. The generated
guidance now instructs an explicit run_in_background: false, and a static
tripwire fails the free suite if the inert inverted phrasing ever returns to
any generated SKILL.md.

Fixes #2440.

* fix(investigate): anchor the scope-lock freeze hook on $HOME, not CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR

The investigate skill's PreToolUse hooks and Scope Lock probe resolved
check-freeze.sh via ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}, which does not exist when
frontmatter hooks run — the || exit 0 tail then failed open, so the debug
scope boundary silently never engaged (#1871 follow-up). Anchor all four
sites on $HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/ like careful/freeze, and add a static
test asserting no frontmatter command: line in the guard-family skills ever
references CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR again.

Fixes #2469; closes the last live half of #1459 together with the
freeze/careful hookSpecificOutput fix. The broader portable-install-root
rewrite stays #1882 (its own focused PR per the TODOS.md decision).

Reported with a fix by @maxpetrusenkoagent (PR #1873; absorbed narrowly —
the cwd-walk rewrite belongs to #1882).

* fix(redact): scan large diffs in line-aligned slices; stop digit-UUIDs matching as cards/phones

The prepush guard blocked any push whose added lines exceeded the engine's
1 MiB cap with engine.input_too_large — a size error naming no credential —
which trains people onto GSTACK_REDACT_PREPUSH=skip. Scan in 768 KiB
line-aligned slices instead (no pattern is multi-line, so a boundary cannot
bisect a secret); a single oversized line still goes to the engine intact and
fails closed. Also suppress card/phone matches whose span sits ENTIRELY
inside a UUID — digit-only UUID fixtures were 14 of 21 MEDIUM findings on an
ordinary branch, the noise level that stops people reading MEDIUM at all.

Fixes #2304.

* feat(redact): block Google OAuth client secrets and Telegram bot tokens at HIGH

GOCSPX-prefixed client secrets and <bot_id>:<35-char> Telegram tokens are
never-publishable credential shapes with unambiguous formats — both now
block at HIGH like the other live-format credentials.

* fix(redact-prepush): resolve the real push base instead of EMPTY_TREE whole-repo scans

When the remote default branch is not main/master (or origin/HEAD is unset),
the merge-base guess failed and the hook fell back to scanning the ENTIRE
repository as added lines — re-attributing long-pushed secrets to the
current push and, on any real repo, tripping the engine byte cap so the push
blocked having scanned nothing. Derive the base from commits reachable from
no remote-tracking branch, keep the empty-tree path only for genuinely fresh
repos, and split the block message so an unscannable diff is reported as
"could not scan (fail closed)" rather than "credential found — rotate it".

* fix(redact-prepush): preserve the trailing newline handed to chained pre-push.local

The chaining wrapper captured stdin with $(cat), which strips the trailing
newline — a chained shell hook built on `while read` then never entered its
loop for the final (usually only) ref line and exited 0, failing OPEN. Use
the printf-x sentinel so the byte-exact input reaches the chained hook, with
tests covering both the pass-through and the short-circuit paths.

Contributed by @francis-eye (PR #2358).

* fix(redact-prepush): close the ext-diff, header-lookalike, and ref-parse bypasses

Three ways the pushed diff escaped scanning: (1) a user-level diff.external
or textconv driver replaced the diff with its own output — zero '+' lines,
so the scan saw nothing (now --no-ext-diff --no-textconv); (2) an added
content line whose text begins with "++" renders as "+++…" and the blanket
header skip dropped it (now hunk-aware header detection); (3) a pre-push
ref line that failed to parse was silently skipped, leaving that ref
unscanned (now fails closed with the offending line named).

Minimal reimplementation of the two confirmed bypasses from PR #2498 by
@lubosxyz (the full PR overlaps the chunked-scan work absorbed separately),
plus the unparseable-ref hardening.

* fix(pair-agent): keep the ngrok authtoken out of the transcript and shell argv

The not-authed flow told the user to paste their ngrok authtoken into the
chat so the agent could run `ngrok config add-authtoken` — putting a live
credential in the transcript, tool-call argv, and anything the transcript
syncs to. The user now runs the auth command in their own terminal; the
agent only verifies via `ngrok config check`, and a pasted token triggers a
rotate-and-reauth instruction. A static test pins that no agent-run bash
fence ever contains add-authtoken again.

Fixes #2335.

* fix(update-check): crash emits CHECK_FAILED instead of reading as up-to-date

gstack-update-check signals "up to date" with SILENCE, and it runs under
set -e — so any unguarded mid-script failure exited quietly and was
indistinguishable from a current install. Observed live as a 45-release
silent-staleness incident. An ERR trap (with -E so it propagates into

* fix(extension): deny token/port reads to content-script and foreign senders

background.js answered getPort — port, connected state, AND the browse
server auth token — to any sender that passed the type allowlist,
including content scripts running in web-page context and, behind only
the sender.id check, anything without extension-page provenance. The
getToken sender.tab restriction covered getToken alone, and only after
getPort had already handed out the token.

Single decision point now: extension/sender-auth.js classifies each
message type; the eight privileged types (getPort, setPort, getServerUrl,
getToken, fetchRefs, command, sidebar-command, getTabState) require an
own-extension-page sender (chrome-extension://<own id>/ URL, no
sender.tab, own sender.id). Denied senders get { error: 'unauthorized' }
and nothing else — never the token, never the port. Content-script flows
(elementPicked, pickerCancelled, inspectResult, openSidePanel) are
untouched, and the sidepanel/popup keep the getPort token field their
connect path reads. The policy mirrors the v1.63 server-side model:
AUTH_TOKEN is released only to the pinned extension Origin via
POST /extension-token, so the extension must not re-leak it to contexts
the server would never have trusted.

browse/test/extension-sender-auth.test.ts drives the real background.js
onMessage listener under a chrome stub with four sender shapes (own
extension page, own content script, foreign extension id, missing
sender.url) and pins that denied responses carry no token/port fields,
that a denied setPort never persists, that a denied command never
reaches the network, and that the inspector + tab-state flows keep
working. The helper is loaded via importScripts in the classic service
worker and require()-able from bun tests.

* test(update-check): fixture links gstack-egress-lib.sh — all 38 tests failed on main

v1.63.0.0 made bin/gstack-update-check source bin/gstack-egress-lib.sh

activeTabId — losing the race meant the last-tab auto-create never ran,

* fix(test): remove all 8 delayed process.exit teardown bombs — the tier-1 gate can finally fail

bun test runs every file in ONE process, so a 500ms setTimeout(process.exit(0))
armed in afterAll fired mid-way through a LATER file and killed the entire
suite with exit 0 and no summary — only ~16 of 434 files ran, and every
downstream failure was invisible (observed live throughout this wave's
enumeration). Changes, all guarded by fault injection:

- Replace every delayed-exit teardown with a time-boxed close of the file's
  own browser (8 files across browse/ and design/); stub the daemon
  /shutdown timer instead of letting its unconditional process.exit tear
  the runner down.
- test/no-suicide-exit.test.ts: static tripwire — no *.test.ts may schedule
  a delayed process.exit again.
- test/exit-propagation.test.ts + fixtures: fault injection with REAL bun
  output proves the truncation shape (exit 0, no summary) and that
  scripts/test-free-shards.ts now detects it: a shard exiting 0 WITHOUT
  bun's final summary line is treated as FAILED (exit code alone is not
  evidence of completion).
- handoff: the three headed-mode integration tests are darwin-skipped with
  a pointer to the known macOS headed-launch breakage (#2242/#2554); they
  keep running on Linux CI. Un-skip in the browse-daemon wave.
- feedback-roundtrip: repair the handler call sites unmasked by the fix —
  handlers take (command, args, session, bm); passing the manager where a
  session belongs broke all six tests.
- user-slug-fallback: HOME isolation makes endpoint_hash deterministic.

restored: raw "SMARTPANTS_PRESERVED_N" text leaked into the rendered

Allow about:blank ONLY, never the about: scheme: about:blank has no

* fix(design): drop gpt-image-2 tool model that 400s under the gpt-4o orchestrator

The Responses API rejects pairing a gpt-4o orchestrator with an
image_generation tool spec'd as model: "gpt-image-2" (400
invalid_request_error), which took every design image call offline —
generate, variants, iterate (both threaded and fresh paths), evolve,
and /design-shotgun (#1771). gpt-image-2 is only valid under a gpt-5
orchestrator; with gpt-4o the tool must omit the model field (defaults
to gpt-image-1).

Remove the model field at all five call sites and add a static-grep
tripwire test (design/test/image-gen-pairing.test.ts) that fails CI if
any design/src module reintroduces the gpt-4o + gpt-image-2 pairing.
Re-enabling gpt-image-2 later requires bumping the orchestrator off
gpt-4o in the same diff, which the tripwire permits.

On a normal install the tracked files ARE locally patched (skill-prefix

refused on every run and auto-upgrade froze forever — observed as 308
consecutive PULL_FAILED entries with the reason discarded by 2>/dev/null.
Pull now runs --autostash (local patches ride over the update and pop back),
stderr is captured into the log so a genuine failure names its cause, an
autostash pop conflict recovers to a clean tree and re-renders the patches
(gstack-patch-names + gbrain-refresh, both idempotent), and a successful
pull re-renders them as a self-heal. Behavioral tests cover the wedge shape

Current Claude Code returns AskUserQuestion results as an OBJECT map keyed

— and the bin then scored every one as followed_recommendation false,
silently poisoning plan-tune metrics. Adds the object-map extraction (exact
+ whitespace-normalized + single-question pairing, multiSelect joins,
annotations as free_text), strips the (Recommended) suffix from BOTH sides
of the comparison, skips the computation entirely on extraction failure,
and logs unrecognized shapes to hook-errors.log instead of embedding them

outermost STRONG marker wins (.git, package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml,
Gemfile, go.mod, .project.yaml), weak content markers (README, LICENSE) catch
non-code project folders, deploy artifacts are deliberately not markers, and
GSTACK_PROJECT_SLUG remains the escape hatch. The cache self-heals on

* fix(windows): grant icacls ACEs by *SID, not unqualified username

An unqualified username handed to icacls is ambiguous: on a machine whose
hostname equals the username (a common Windows setup), it resolves to the
MACHINE account instead of the user. Combined with /inheritance:r, that
leaves ~/.gstack with a single ACE matching nobody — the process that just
"secured" the directory locks itself out, and icacls still reports success.

Both icacls sites in the repo (restrictFilePermissions and
restrictDirectoryPermissions in browse/src/file-permissions.ts — the only
icacls call sites; setup has none) now grant via icacls' literal-SID form
`*<SID>`, resolved once per process from System32\whoami.exe (pinned to
System32 because a bare `whoami` under a bash-flavoured PATH picks up the
MSYS build, which rejects /user). Fallback when the SID can't be resolved
is the domain-qualified `USERDOMAIN\username` name, which is unambiguous
where the bare username was not.

Windows-only regression tests assert the hardened directory stays usable
by the calling process (readdir + write), which is exactly the check that
a not-toThrow assertion sailed past before.

* fix(windows): forward windowsHide through the bun-polyfill spawn shims

windowsHide is the one spawn option where Node's default is the opposite
of Bun's: Node shows the child's console window, Bun.spawn hides it.
The polyfill's spawn and spawnSync shims dropped the option entirely, so
the Node fallback path (dist/bun-polyfill.cjs) silently inverted the
behavior on the one platform the shim exists to serve — every watchdog
respawn of the terminal agent popped a visible bun.exe console window.

Three sites fixed:
- Bun.spawnSync shim: forwards windowsHide with Bun-matching default true
- Bun.spawn shim: same (stdio:'ignore' silences output but does NOT
  suppress the console window on Windows)
- spawnTerminalAgent in terminal-agent-control.ts: explicit
  windowsHide: true, so the Node fallback path behaves like Bun-native

An explicit windowsHide: false is honored at both shims. Three focused
tests pin the default-true, default-true-sync, and explicit-false paths
by intercepting child_process in a subprocess; the test file's require
path now uses forward slashes so it survives interpolation into a JS
string literal on Windows.

Supersedes PRs #2523, #2294 and #2290, which each covered a subset of
these sites.

* fix(watchdog): signal-0 liveness, tick-scaled respawn guard, windowsHide

Three-bug chain behind the Windows terminal-agent leak (console window
strobing every 60s, one orphaned agent per watchdog tick until the box
ran out of committable memory):

1. isProcessAlive shelled out to `tasklist /FI "PID eq <pid>"` on Windows
   with a 3s timeout. A Bun.spawnSync that hits its timeout still RETURNS
   with partial stdout, so the `.includes()` PID match read a LIVE agent
   as dead — killAgentByRecord skipped the kill, the watchdog respawned
   around the survivor, and every orphan slowed the next tasklist enough
   to produce the next false negative. Now: `process.kill(pid, 0)` on
   every platform (Node and Bun both map signal 0 to an OpenProcess
   existence check on Windows), with EPERM counted as alive. No
   subprocess, no timeout, no console window.

2. The respawn circuit-breaker was mathematically unreachable — verified
   in this tree: RESPAWN_GUARD_WINDOW_MS was a fixed 60_000 against a
   60_000ms default tick, and each tick pushes at most one respawn
   timestamp, so three pushes span ~120s and can never coexist inside a
   60s window (eviction is strict `>`, and setInterval drift plus
   per-tick work always ages the prior entry past the boundary). The
   guard could not fire at the default tick rate and a steady
   one-per-tick leak ran unbounded. The window now scales with the tick:
   max(60_000, tick * (RESPAWN_GUARD_MAX + 2)), so "3 crashes in quick
   succession → stop" holds at any tick value.

3. The tasklist probe popped a visible console per tick (no windowsHide).
   Removing the shell-out kills that site; the agent-spawn site itself
   already passes windowsHide: true (landed with the bun-polyfill
   windowsHide commit — PR #2414's terminal-agent-control.ts hunk is
   reconciled there rather than duplicated).

New browse/test/process-liveness-windows.test.ts pins all three: no
subprocess from the probe, a static tripwire against reintroducing
`tasklist` + `PID eq` liveness checks in src/, the spawnTerminalAgent
windowsHide + stdio contract, and the window-derived-from-tick
arithmetic. terminal-agent-watchdog.test.ts test 4 now pins the
window/tick relationship instead of the fixed literal that let this
ship. Also converts `new URL(import.meta.url).pathname` to
`import.meta.path` across the static-grep tests it touches — the
pathname form yields /C:/... on Windows and breaks path.resolve.

* fix(terminal-agent): tie agent lifetime to its owning browse server PID

The terminal agent is intentionally detached so it survives the
short-lived CLI launcher, but its real owner is the persistent browse
server. If that server crashed or was killed before running normal
shutdown, the agent was adopted by PID 1 and lived forever (#2019).

spawnTerminalAgent now requires an ownerPid and exports it to the agent
as BROWSE_OWNER_PID; all three spawn sites pass the server PID (cli.ts
cold-start, cli.ts supervisor respawn, server.ts watchdog). The agent
polls the owner with signal 0 every 15s (GSTACK_TERMINAL_OWNER_WATCHDOG_MS
to tune) on an unref'd timer and, when the owner disappears, exits
through the SAME cleanup path as an intentional SIGTERM shutdown — now
re-entrancy-guarded and also removing the terminal-internal-token file
alongside the port file and agent record.

Runtime test spawns a real agent tied to a throwaway owner process,
kills the owner, and asserts the agent exits and its discovery files
(terminal-agent-pid, terminal-port) are gone.

Reconciled with the watchdog commit's spawnTerminalAgent contract test
(process-liveness-windows.test.ts now passes ownerPid and pins the
BROWSE_OWNER_PID env forwarding).

Closes #2019.

* fix(windows): give the bun-polyfill spawn shim a real `exited` promise

Bun.spawn exposes `proc.exited` as a Promise resolving to the exit code.
The Node fallback shim (dist/bun-polyfill.cjs) returned no such field, so
every `await proc.exited` on the Windows path resolved instantly to
undefined — the Windows cookie picker (cookie-import-browser.ts races
proc.exited at three sites) read stdout before the child produced it and
silent-failed; browser-skill-commands and terminal-agent hit the same
class.

The shim now:
- drains stdout/stderr eagerly into capped in-memory buffers (Node's
  Readables are pull-based; without draining, a child writing past the
  OS pipe buffer blocks in write() and 'exit' never fires), replaying
  them as fresh single-shot Web ReadableStreams so reads work before or
  after awaiting exit;
- caps the buffer at 16 MB (GSTACK_SPAWN_MAX_BUFFER to override), still
  draining past the cap so a runaway child can't wedge or OOM;
- resolves `exited` with Bun-matching codes (exit code, 128+signal, 1 on
  spawn error) after both pipes finish, and resolves on 'error' too —
  Node fires 'error' without 'exit' when the binary is missing, which
  otherwise hangs the await forever.

Six tests pin exit codes, the read-after-exit ordering, spawn-failure
resolution, the buffer cap, and the large-output drain. Adapted to the
current test file (require path goes through the requirePath variable
from the windowsHide commit), and the 1 MB drain test's child now exits
in the write callback — on modern Node a pipe write past the OS buffer
is async and process.exit() straight after write() truncates at ~64 KB
even with a live reader, which fails the test for reasons unrelated to
the shim.

* fix(setup): BROWSE_BIN carries the .exe suffix on Windows

On Windows, `bun build --compile` emits browse.exe, but setup's
BROWSE_BIN pointed at the suffixless path — so the post-build gate
(`[ ! -x "$BROWSE_BIN" ]` → "browse binary missing") could never pass on
Windows even after a fully successful build, while the build step itself
reported success. Closes #2291.

Applied the PR's override after the IS_WINDOWS detection, and also to
the second BROWSE_BIN assignment the PR predates: the direct-Codex-
install migration path re-derives BROWSE_BIN from the migrated dir and
would otherwise drop the suffix again on Windows.

* fix(setup): link lib/ beside bin/ at all five host-install sites

bin/ scripts import shared modules via ../lib (gstack-learnings-log →
lib/jsonl-store.ts is the reported case), so any runtime root that
exposes bin/ without lib/ breaks 13 bin/ commands — learnings-log,
decision-log, telemetry and friends fail with "Cannot find module
.../lib/jsonl-store.ts" on every non-Claude install, silently from the
skills' perspective.

All five host-install sites now carry lib/ next to bin/, each through
the existing _link_or_copy helper (never raw ln — the static invariant
in test/setup-windows-fallback.test.ts enforces this):

- .agents sidecar (create_agents_sidecar asset loop)
- Codex runtime root (create_codex_runtime_root)
- Factory runtime root (create_factory_runtime_root)
- OpenCode runtime root (create_opencode_runtime_root)
- Kiro install block

New test/setup-runtime-lib-command.test.ts executes the real setup shell
for each root in a sandbox (both the symlink branch and the Windows copy
branch of _link_or_copy) and runs gstack-learnings-log end-to-end from
the installed root, asserting the learning lands in
~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/learnings.jsonl — plus a negative control
proving a bin-without-lib root fails exactly the way the bug report did.
gen-skill-docs.test.ts's setup-validation block pins the lib link at
every site. Cross-checked against PRs #2433, #2410 and #2198: all three
cover subsets of these sites; nothing they fix is missing here.

* fix(setup): ship supabase/config.sh with every host runtime root

Distinct from the lib/-beside-bin/ defect: gstack-telemetry-sync,
gstack-update-check, gstack-security-dashboard and
gstack-community-dashboard all source $GSTACK_DIR/supabase/config.sh to
resolve GSTACK_SUPABASE_URL, where GSTACK_DIR is the installed root
(parent of bin/). The [ -f ... ] guard means a root without the file
degrades SILENTLY — telemetry and update checks just stop resolving the
project URL on non-Claude installs. Closes #2215.

setup now links supabase/config.sh (file-level on purpose — migrations/
and functions/ are dev-only) via _link_or_copy at all five host-install
sites: the PR's four (Codex, Factory, OpenCode runtime roots + the Kiro
block) plus the .agents sidecar, whose bin/ resolves the same relative
path and which the PR predates covering.

The runtime-root test now asserts supabase/config.sh is present in
every built root, on both the symlink and Windows-copy branches.

* ci(windows): curate the fix-wave regression tests into the windows-latest run

The windows-free-tests curated set is derived (POSIX-fragility regex scan
+ explicit deny list), and two of this wave's Windows regression files
were auto-excluded on false-positive pattern hits:

- browse/test/file-permissions.test.ts tripped the POSIX-mode-bitmask
  pattern, but every `mode & 0o777` assertion is platform-guarded — and
  the file carries the win32-only icacls-by-SID regression tests, which
  can only ever execute on windows-latest.
- browse/test/terminal-agent-owner-watchdog.test.ts tripped the
  spawn(['bun','run',...]) pattern whose reason is the Playwright-bound
  browse server; it actually spawns terminal-agent.ts (fs/path/crypto +
  local helpers only, no Playwright at module scope), and the owner-PID
  orphan leak it pins was reported on Windows (#2019).

Adds a KNOWN_WINDOWS_SAFE force-include list (mirror of
KNOWN_WINDOWS_INCOMPATIBLE, each entry carrying its false-positive
rationale) consulted before the pattern scan, and makes the
owner-watchdog test's throwaway owner process Windows-portable
(process.execPath instead of `sleep`, which a bare runner may not have).

The wave's other new files need no wiring: process-liveness-windows and
the bun-polyfill windowsHide/exited tests pass curation automatically;
setup-runtime-lib-command self-skips on win32 by design (its Windows
branch is exercised by simulating IS_WINDOWS=1 under bash), so
force-including it would add a permanently-skipped file.

* fix(mktemp): move the X-run to the end of every temp-file template (BSD/busybox safe)

BSD mktemp (macOS) does not substitute an X-run that has a suffix after it:
`mktemp "$TMP_ROOT/codex-err-XXXXXX.txt"` creates a LITERAL
codex-err-XXXXXX.txt on the first call (exit 0) and every later call fails
with `mkstemp failed: File exists` — so /codex breaks from the SECOND run on
every Mac, masquerading as a model stall. busybox mktemp (Alpine) rejects the
template on the first run. Fixes #2091, #2370.

Union of both community fixes, compared at the diff level:
- PR #2372: all 11 source sites with a suffix after the X-run — codex
  SKILL.md.tmpl (5), claude SKILL.md.tmpl (3), bin/gstack-developer-profile
  (2, suffix folded into the prefix: .json.tmp.XXXXXX), and the office-hours
  codex pass in scripts/resolvers/review.ts (1).
- PR #2103: the second half of #2091 — bin/gstack-paths now strips the
  trailing slash from TMP_ROOT at the source (macOS $TMPDIR ends in `/`),
  plus runtime tests pinning that normalization.

New repo-wide tripwire in test/regression-issue2091-bsd-mktemp.test.ts:
every .tmpl, every SKILL.md, and every scripts/resolvers/*.ts is swept —
no mktemp template may carry a suffix after the X-run, with a self-test so
the detector can't be quietly blinded. Generated SKILL.md files regenerated

* fix(codex,review,ship): scope codex review with an explicit --base flag, never prompt text

`codex review` takes its scope ONLY from --base/--commit/--uncommitted. The
positional [PROMPT] is mutually exclusive with all three, and a prompt-only
`codex review "<text>"` silently falls back to the uncommitted working-tree
scope (verified on 0.144.1: it runs `git status --short; git diff` and
reviews that) — so the previous prompt-based scoping produced a
confidently-worded review of the WRONG changes and read "no changes" on a
clean tree. Every diff pass now invokes `codex review --base <base>` with no
prompt argument: /codex Step 2A default path, the /review structured pass,
and the /ship adversarial-section pass (all via scripts/resolvers/review.ts).

Custom review instructions keep their own `codex exec` path (the CLI rejects
prompt + scope flag together), with the filesystem boundary preserved there.
Two new Error Handling entries teach the failure shapes: the argv-parse
error, and the "review says no changes on a branch full of changes" symptom.

Tests updated to pin the new invariant instead of banning the fix: the old
assertions required the diff range in prompt text and banned the
`--base <base> -c '...'` substring, which the correct scoped form contains.
Also deletes test/fixtures/golden-ship-claude.md — a 2,565-line orphaned
fixture referenced by zero tests (the live goldens are in
test/fixtures/golden/, compared by test/host-config.test.ts); the factory
golden is refreshed from the regenerated output. Generated SKILL.md files

* fix(review,ship): run the codex diff passes under the timeout wrapper (#1036)

The `_gstack_codex_timeout_wrapper` added in #1056 was wired into
codex/SKILL.md but never into the /review and /ship diff passes, which kept
running under a bare 5-minute Bash gate. An unwrapped stall returns no exit
code and no output, which downstream reads as "Codex reviewed and found
nothing" — a truncated pass silently became a clean bill. Measured on
codex-cli 0.145.0: a pass was killed at 287s of a 300s budget mid-tool-call,
and the same prompt completed in 336s.

Both passes in scripts/resolvers/review.ts (adversarial `codex exec` and the
structured `codex review --base` pass) now re-source gstack-codex-probe and
run under `_gstack_codex_timeout_wrapper 540`, with the Bash tool gate raised
to 600000 ms so the wrapper fires FIRST and a stall surfaces as a diagnosable
exit 124. The timeout guidance now says a timed-out pass is MISSING COVERAGE,
not a clean result, and points at the run's rollout log under
~/.codex/sessions/ for partial output. The stale "timeout doesn't exist on
macOS" claim is gone — the wrapper resolves gtimeout, then timeout, then runs
unwrapped, so it is safe without coreutils.

Static guards in test/codex-hardening.test.ts pin all three sites (resolver,
review/SKILL.md, ship/sections/adversarial.md): both calls wrapped, wrapper
budget strictly under the Bash gate, and no reappearance of the macOS claim
that steered these call sites away from the wrapper in the first place. The
Claude-output path guard in test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts now scrubs
~/.codex/sessions/ (a user-facing Codex CLI path, same class as the
~/.codex/logs/ exemption) before banning Codex host paths. Generated files
regenerated via gen:skill-docs; factory golden refreshed.

* fix(codex): sandbox the review path, fail the gate closed, order timeouts wrapper-first

Closes #2496, #2524, #2477 — three defects in the class "a guard that
reports success while doing nothing", all in codex/SKILL.md.tmpl:

(a) Review sandbox. The default `codex review` path was the only codex call
with no sandbox override, inheriting ~/.codex/config.toml's default — write
access on a trusted project — while Important Rules claimed read-only.
Top-level `codex review` has no -s/--sandbox flag (verified on 0.147.0), so
the invocation now pins `-c 'sandbox_mode="read-only"'`, the same form the
consult-resume path already uses.

(b) Fail-closed verdict gate. The old rule ("no [P1] found → PASS") could
not fail on the default path: native `codex review` output carries no
bracketed tags, and a non-zero exit, expired auth, timeout, or empty result
also contains no [P1] — all read as PASS. The gate is now an ordered,
fail-closed check: non-zero exit → FAIL; empty output → FAIL; [P0]/[P1]
(bracketed or codex's native labels) → FAIL with count; NO severity tags at
all → FAIL requiring a human read; PASS is only reachable through the
explicit tagged-advisory-only branch. [P0] is recognized as blocking, and
the review-log findings count includes it.

(c) Bash gate above the wrapper. Step 2A instructed `timeout: 300000` under
a 330s wrapper, and Challenge's 300s gate sat under a 600s wrapper — the
harness killed the call before the wrapper could emit its diagnosable
exit-124 message. Every Bash gate now sits strictly ABOVE its wrapper:
360000 over the 330s review wrapper, 660000 over the 600s challenge/consult
wrappers, with the ordering rationale stated at each site.

Also from #2477/#2524: a new Error Handling entry for the model-entitlement
400 ("The '<model>' model is not supported...") pointing at the `model =`
pin and `[notice.model_migrations]` in ~/.codex/config.toml and saying
exactly which override to retry with (-m for exec-based modes,
`-c model="..."` for review mode, which rejects -m); the Model & Reasoning
section no longer documents `-m` for `/codex review`.

Static assertions in test/codex-hardening.test.ts pin (a)-(c) across both
the .tmpl and the generated SKILL.md: every scoped review invocation carries
sandbox_mode="read-only" and never -s; the default-PASS sentence is banned
and the fail-closed branches are present; and per-section, every Bash
`timeout: N` is strictly greater than every wrapper budget, with 2A/2B/2C
all required to be inspected. Generated SKILL.md regenerated via
gen:skill-docs in this commit.

"Server failed to start within Ns" while the very next `browse status`
showed a healthy server. Add a final readState()+isServerHealthy() re-check
before the timeout throw, and make the budget env-overridable via
BROWSE_START_TIMEOUT (BROWSE_* tunable convention). Structural + behavioral
tests pin both invariants.

Closes #1846.

* fix(browse): daemon resilience on loaded machines — Bun conn errors, stop/restart flush, startup + git-root budgets

Four load-sensitivity fixes in the daemon lifecycle:

- sendCommand only recognized Node's ECONNREFUSED/ECONNRESET; the compiled
  CLI runs on Bun, which reports 'ConnectionRefused'/'ConnectionClosed'
  ("Unable to connect..."), so daemon crashes leaked the raw error and
  exited 1 instead of entering the busy-check/restart path. Match both.
- stop/restart called shutdown() inline, which exits before the HTTP
  response flushes — the CLI saw a dropped socket (and would now
  crash-retry a fresh daemon just to stop it). Defer shutdown ~100ms so
  the 200 lands first.
- Non-CI POSIX startup budget raised 8s -> 15s (cold Chromium measured
  ~5.7s at load avg 10; load 12+ blew the old budget while the detached
  daemon was still booting).
- getGitRoot's 2s git rev-parse timeout returned null under load (6.3s
  spikes measured), scattering state files across cwds into split-brain
  daemons. Raise to 8s, still bounded.

* fix(telemetry): ingest keeps error_message/failed_step instead of dropping them

The telemetry_events columns exist and bin/gstack-telemetry-log already
sends error_message + failed_step, but the Supabase ingest function dropped
both fields on insert — every error report arrived with no message and no
failing step. Map them through with the same bounded-length sanitization as
error_class (500/100 chars). The completion-status resolver now also passes
--error-message/--failed-step in the generated skill telemetry block, with
instructions to leave them empty on success.

Resolver only for the template side; generated SKILL.md files regenerate
from this source in the docs lane.

* fix(browse): surface non-EEXIST errors in acquireServerLock instead of masking them

acquireServerLock caught every open failure as if the lock were held:
EACCES/EROFS/ENOENT surfaced as phantom "another process holds the lock"
(null return, no diagnostics), and a failed stale-lock read or unlink was
swallowed the same way. Each failure class now logs a coded, pathed
diagnostic: non-EEXIST open errors, holder-PID read errors (ENOENT retries
the acquire — the holder released between open and read), and stale-lock
unlink errors. Four-case unit test included.

Closes #1084.

* fix(paths): shell-quote gstack-paths output so eval round-trips values

gstack-paths emitted bare KEY=VALUE lines, so the documented
eval "$(gstack-paths)" re-parsed the values: backslashes were eaten as
escapes (Windows $TMP C:\Users\... became C:Users...) and a space
word-split the assignment, leaving the variable empty. Emit each value
with printf %q so eval round-trips byte-for-byte; plain POSIX paths are
unchanged. Round-trip regression tests cover backslashes, spaces, and
embedded quotes.

Closes #2374.

* security(browse): drop .svg from the load-html extension allowlist

SVG is a script-capable format (inline <script>, event handlers, foreign
objects), so allowing it through load-html's HTML allowlist let a local
.svg execute script in the browse session context. The allowlist is now
.html/.htm/.xhtml only; regression test asserts .svg is rejected.

* fix(benchmark): validate --timeout-ms as a positive integer

gstack-model-benchmark fed --timeout-ms straight through parseInt, so
"abc" became NaN and "0"/"-1" passed through — a NaN or non-positive
timeout silently disables the per-provider watchdog. Reject anything
that isn't a positive (optionally +-prefixed) safe integer with a clear
error and exit 1.

Closes #1726.

unchanged.

* ci: cancel superseded actionlint and skill-docs runs

actionlint.yml and skill-docs.yml trigger on both push and pull_request
with no concurrency group, so every push to an active branch left the
previous (now-obsolete) runs queued or running — twice per commit on
same-repo PR branches. Add the same cancel-in-progress concurrency
groups the heavier workflows already use, plus a free static tripwire
test that fails CI if a push+pull_request workflow ever ships again
without cancel-in-progress.

* fix(make-pdf): correct CJK rendering — NUL sentinel hardening, SC-first fonts, CJK quote context

Three CJK fixes in the PDF pipeline:

- smartypants strips stray input NULs up front so document text can never
  forge the U+0000 placeholder sentinel and leak a preserved-zone marker
  into the output.
- The CJK font stack led with Japanese families, so Simplified-Chinese
  text rendered han glyphs with JP variants. Lead with PingFang SC /
  Heiti SC / Noto Sans CJK SC / Source Han Sans SC before the JP
  fallbacks.
- Quote-smartening only recognized ASCII openers as "start of quote"
  context; the fullwidth colon and CJK brackets now count, so quotes
  after them curl the right way.

* fix(slug): cached identity is sticky — heal ONLY the provable subdir-cache bug shape

The walk-up rewrite recomputed the slug on every run and "healed" the cache
toward the fresh value, which broke the #2212 continuity contract: a project
that used gstack before adopting a git remote would be silently renamed to
the remote-derived slug, orphaning everything under ~/.gstack/projects/.
Cached identity now wins, with one precise exception: when the cached value
equals THIS pwd's basename while the walk-up proves pwd is not the project
root, the entry came from the pre-walk-up subdirectory bug (#1125) and is
recomputed. All four slug contracts pass together (repo-mode #2212,
walk-up #1125, sanitize, user-slug).

* fix(claude): stop false-blocking macOS keychain subscription auth in host detection

The /claude skill's auth probe only recognized env-var/API-key auth, so
macOS subscription installs (keychain-backed, where `claude -p` works fine)
were told they had no auth. Detection now uses host invocation.

Fixes #1890.

* fix(setup): Ubuntu 26.04 Playwright platform detect + silence the codesign false alarm

Two small setup papercuts: the Playwright platform probe now recognizes
Ubuntu 26.04 instead of falling to the generic-Linux path, and macOS
installs stop warning about a codesign "failure" that was actually the
expected unsigned-adhoc path (the real signature check already gates
binary launch).

Three template one-liners: land-and-deploy reads the squash-merge result
from the merge commit instead of the stale branch tip; review/landing-report
/land-and-deploy templates call bin/gstack-next-version via its installed
path instead of a bare repo-relative one; setup-gbrain quotes
GBRAIN_EMBED_FLAGS so zsh word-splitting stops silently dropping
voyage-code-3 flags. Regenerated output included.

* test(redact-prepush): assemble the fake AWS key at runtime — the literal blocked our own push

The hook's fixtures carried a live-format AKIA literal, and the repo's own
pre-push scanner (hardened in this wave) correctly blocked pushing it. The
placeholder-suppressed docs key would defeat the detection tests, so the
fixtures now concatenate the key at runtime: tests still exercise real
detection, and the pushed diff never contains a scannable credential shape.

* fix(slug): terminate the marker walk-up on dirname's fixed point — hung every bin on Windows

Under git-bash on Windows a mixed-form path walks C:/Users -> C: -> . -> .
forever: dirname's fixed point there is never "/", so the walk-up loop spun
and every bin that evals gstack-slug (learnings-log first among them) hung
until spawn timeout. Caught by windows-free-tests CI on the wave PR. Break
on the fixed point itself with a depth cap for exotic forms; regression
tests drive the extracted function with hostile path shapes under a hard
timeout.
