8 people	f67c478f05	v1.91.34.0 fix: /autoplan on current Claude Code and long sessions, quieter pre-push and sync guards, gstack-post, gstack-doctor (#3069) ... * docs: Oct 7 follow-up wave plan (pre-review) * docs: Oct 7 follow-up wave plan, reviewed through /autoplan * docs: Oct 7 wave plan, record final gate decisions (UC1 accepted, UC2 rejected) * docs: credit #1822 to @Mike-E-Log and #1743 to @habassa5 (v1.64.0.0) The v1.64.0.0 CHANGELOG entry credited the extension token fix (#1822) and the polyfill exited promise (#1743) to the wrong handle, and the extension-sender-auth test header repeated the first slip. Commit history is not rewritten. Fixes #3054.

A session started in a non-git parent saved from a nested repo, so the checkpoint went to the nested repo's bucket. Restore in the parent now lists checkpoints of other buckets whose project_root lies below the cwd (BELOW_CWD; the 200 newest are read, and from $HOME only each project's newest). /context-save also leaves a JSON pointer (checkpoint path, bucket, project_root) in the starting directory's bucket when $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR is set and files elsewhere; restore lists those as POINTER, in or out of git. 2. A plan checkpoint on the main tree's branch shadowed a newer checkpoint saved in a ticket worktree. When another branch holds a newer checkpoint for the same task (a worktree below the main tree, read from the new worktree: stamp; equal normalized titles; or a shared #123 / ABC-123 token in titles or branch names), restore prints NEWER_TASK and the skill shows both and proposes the newer one. Generic titles (wip, checkpoint, save, notes, todo) never match on title alone, and the worktree rule applies only when restoring from the main tree, so sibling worktrees still never shadow each other. The branch-first ordering itself is unchanged. Refs #3065.

It now prints one line per finding: rule id, file and file line, and a fix, never the matched value. Line numbers come from the hunk headers (combined --cc headers included), so a finding in a later hunk or past a scan-chunk boundary points at the real file line. Findings from the per-commit catch-up path name the commit whose file line it is, so content removed before the pushed tip is still locatable. Plan items: CEO-7 (summary half), DX-9 (fix lines), ENG-8 (line mapping). Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(redact-prepush): stop flagging your own email and already-public authors (#3060) The hook never passed the engine's selfEmail / repoPublicEmails, so every push that added the pusher's address, or a commit author's, raised a MEDIUM pii.email warning for an address the destination already shows. The hook now reads `git config user.email` and one bounded `git log` of author and committer addresses, raw and mailmapped (%ae %aE %ce %cE): the history of every pushed tip (those commits become public with the push), each remote tip being replaced, and, for a new branch or an unknown remote tip pushed to a configured remote, that remote's own tracking refs. A URL or unknown destination never borrows tracking refs, and another remote's history never counts. The read stops at 50,000 commits (the newest authors are used) and 5 seconds. An error or the timeout passes no history and, when an email finding is listed, prints one line saying suppression was limited for this push. The two inputs fail independently. HIGH findings and every other rule are untouched. Controls: a stranger's address, an address only another remote knows, a URL push next to a matching remote, and a first push of a repo with no history all still report. Plan items: A3, CEO-7, CEO-23 (A3 half), DX-9 (partial history), ENG-8 (history scope, mailmap).

It never affects HIGH findings or any other rule, and the pii.email fix line names it. Controls: a different address still reports, and a HIGH secret next to an allowed address still blocks.

Cookbook (browse, devex-review): a "Silent failures" list (evaluate returns only serializable values, no top-level return, locator(sel).press(key), an empty DOM read is about the selector until the screenshot and the request's response say otherwise, read toggle state before clicking) and a signed-in tab recipe that prints only target-origin tabs and never closes the user's tab. Parity caps for design-consultation, land-and-deploy, qa and the browse skeleton are raised to the measured sizes, with notes. Refs #3063, #3064.

Sourcing keeps working for skills rendered before the upgrade and prints one deprecation line naming /gstack-upgrade; it and the zsh self-locate block are removed in a release on or after 2026-10-21 (DX-18). Parity caps raised with measured notes for the longer capture lines. Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(gstack-post): one argv-only, redaction-scanned write path for PR and issue text bin/gstack-post posts a PR/MR or issue comment, a review-comment reply, a PR title or body, a new PR/MR or a new issue from agent-written files. Every value reaches gh/glab as its own argv element in --flag=<value> form or on stdin, never through a shell string, and a target is a number or a URL of this repository on the same host. The helper owns the redaction scan: it reads each file once, scans those exact bytes (visibility from config, then gh/glab; the pusher's own email suppressed) and sends the same bytes. HIGH is refused with exit 1 and no confirmation can post it. MEDIUM exits 2 with RULE:/LINE:/PART: lines and a TOKEN: digest of the bytes, destination, operation and findings; only --confirm <token> for those exact bytes posts, so any edit needs a new confirmation. gh/glab failures exit 3, usage errors 64. It also carries the projectCards REST fallback and the title read-back that /ship did by hand. The logic lives in lib/gstack-post.ts behind an injectable runner, so its tests run in the Windows free lane; the stub-gh executable test is POSIX.

Agent input is bound on both paths: keys limited to prompt, description, subagent_type (general-purpose) and run_in_background; a model override or any other key is denied. Cause B: when a ready journal lacks the current call, the guard evaluates the payload placed after the last journaled record instead of polling for a record that may arrive only with the tool result. A phase transition counts a report only when a later journaled record follows it (and, on the journal path, it is not in the current call's message). One batch rule covers both paths; a background reviewer keeps the invocation armed until its completion notice. Every outcome now has a stable reason code, disposition and anchor (autoplan/bin/guard-reasons.ts). UC1: Claude-Code-caused states (unrecognized shape, journal lag, rewritten journal, oversized record, unchecked-version schema strip) allow with a visible warning; integrity failures stay denials. No denial advises a bare retry. Every guarded decision appends one content-free line to analytics/autoplan-guard.jsonl, trimmed to 1,000 lines past 256 KiB.

Every site that asked for run_in_background: false now asks for it only when the Agent schema offers it and says how to recover when a dispatch runs in the background anyway (wait for its completion notice). Parity caps rise by the measured bytes. Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(ship,spec,review): PR and issue text goes out only through gstack-post /ship: Step 18 writes the title into an agent-written file. An existing PR's title is piped from gh/glab through gstack-pr-title-rewrite.sh --stdin (new), so neither the agent nor a shell string carries it; a new title is written with the file tool and its version prefix checked in the file. Step 19 composes the body as before and publishes with gstack-post pr-create, or pr-body then pr-title, which scan the exact bytes they send. The separate title and body scans, the hand-rolled REST fallback and the title self-check are gone (the helper does all three). Title preparation moved into the pr-body section, so the skeleton shrinks. /spec files its issue with gstack-post issue-create and drops the pre-issue re-scan; Greptile replies use gstack-post reply and pr-comment. scripts/resolvers/redact-doc.ts loses its PR and issue sinks, and a test keeps any template from rendering one again. Tests that pinned the old scan-then-gh wiring now pin the gstack-post wiring; the publication tests run the real compose and publish blocks against a stub gh with the real helper (HIGH in title or body refused, MEDIUM token flow).

Its interactive default turns on the fork-subagent gate, which strips run_in_background from the Agent schema and backgrounds reviewers; CI on 2.1.284 never saw the /autoplan guard break. The image tag is a content hash, so every eval workflow picks up the new image without a workflow edit.

They now take the same mkdir lock (bin/gstack-brain-lock.sh): the drain and the skill-start merge skip when it is held, user-run writers wait for it (GSTACK_BRAIN_LOCK_WAIT, default 120 s), and a child of the holder (the drain's daily worktree advance, restore's wireup) inherits it by token. Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(brain-sync): hold back only the flagged file, keep coupled artifacts whole One file with secret-shaped text used to block every push, silently. The drain now attributes scanner hits to files in one pass over the staged diff (split on its diff --git headers), holds back each flagged file with the rest of its coupled group, unstages it, and requires the remaining staged diff to re-scan clean; anything short of that falls back to a full unstage and status blocked. Held files stay queued and are re-scanned every drain. - Status file gains held_count, drainable, last_drain_at, last_push_at and held[] (path, scanner rule, dependents, both fixes); new status held. - Coupled groups come from an explicit map (decisions.jsonl and decisions.active.json): a queued member stages the whole group, a group stages only when its snapshot matches its log in the index, a skipped member stops the whole group. - --unskip-file undoes --skip-file and queues the path again. - An index lock older than 10 minutes is removed under the drain lock; a younger one, a failed git add, a failed commit (hooks included) keep the queue and report status error. A verified empty staged diff is the only "nothing to commit". git add runs once, batched. - The scanner reads bytes, so undecodable content no longer crashes it into a false clean; matched text never reaches the status file. - An empty-queue run with unpushed sync commits stays push_failed. - Privacy-held duplicate records collapse to one per path; --status counts a spool too deep for a shell glob. - --attention prints skill start's fixed attention lines from the sync status table in the usage header.

Values from the status file are clamped (status code to the table, counts to digits, timestamps to their shape), so the status message, file paths and scanner output never reach the line. The preamble tells the model to surface the line in one sentence and continue. Skill-start tests are generated from the table in bin/gstack-brain-sync, and docs/gbrain-sync-errors.md carries the same table.

Words in prose (high-level, low-risk, no critical findings) never count. A review or structured response with neither tags, labels nor an explicit no-findings statement is unverified, never clean (DX-11, ENG-10). Design-direction proposals move to a new proposal gate so they keep needing only their Recommendation line, and review prompts ask for a severity per finding. Fixtures reproduce the CEO/DX label shapes, the eng [P1] output, a table and prose negative controls; the stored Codex panel keeps its verdicts. docs/troubleshooting.md explains how the verdict is read. Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * feat: gstack-doctor readiness report and setup --status Codex row (B5) bin/gstack-doctor prints one row per check without starting a skill: install root (the registry rows behind ./setup --status), state root, Bun against the floor, hook parse check, Codex mode and self-locate via gstack-codex-probe subcommands, the cached model probe with its age (--live runs the paid probe-model), artifacts-sync health from the status file with the status code clamped, the browse bundle, Claude Code version, the largest session journal and the last five schema-1 guard reason codes. Rows are ok, warn, not configured or fail; only fail exits non-zero; fix lines name helpers by absolute install-root path. ./setup --status gains a read-only Codex row (bin/gstack-codex-status.sh, shared with the doctor) and ends with the doctor's absolute path.

The doctor test runs every script through explicit bash argv, so it joins the curated Windows free subset.

The helper resolves a relative path against the git top level, removes scratch files under .gstack/tmp, and asks normally when the file is missing. /plan-tune tune events carry the user's own words again: they go into a file the agent writes and reach gstack-question-preference --write through --free-text-file (new), still behind the injection filter and the user-origin gate. docs/gbrain-write-surfaces.md drops its heredoc templates for the agent-written page file on stdin, matching the per-skill save block, and the generic save block stops showing a quoted --content argument. The tuning prose was tightened so every preamble stays within its size cap.

Each payload must match its journal record under the guard's own comparison, keep the journal's key set apart from the documented run_in_background strip, and stay inside the Agent allowlist; a background Agent's completion notice must keep the shape the guard reads. evals-periodic.yml runs it daily on its own schedule and concurrency group (read-only token); the weekly census also includes it. A free test proves the comparison fails on an injected strip.

It prints the signal, that /ship will push and open a draft now, the 10-minute wait cap and the absolute gstack-config command that turns it off. - consent yes|no: the public-repo answer, remembered per repo in the project's state. - open: opens the draft through gstack-post with a body saying /ship opened it early, and posts one @greptileai comment through gstack-post when the config does not set triggerOnDrafts: true. An open PR is left alone. - wait: polls every 30 s for a completed Greptile check run, a Greptile review of the head commit or a summary naming it; each call returns within about 90 s and reports timeout 10 minutes after the PR opened. gstack-config gains ship_greptile_early (default true, invalid values rejected): on automatically whenever the repo uses Greptile, off per user. The logic is in lib/greptile-early.ts behind an injectable runner, so its fixture-repo tests run in the Windows lane; an end-to-end test drives the real helper and gstack-post against a stub gh. Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(ship): early Greptile PR at Step 6.5, bounded wait at Step 10 (#3020) When the repo uses Greptile, /ship pushes and opens a draft PR right after its free tests pass (new lazy section greptile-early, Step 6.5), so Greptile reviews while Steps 7-9 run. A public repo asks once, remembered per repo; declining keeps today's order. Step 10 waits for that review with gstack-greptile-early wait and takes the existing unavailable route on a timeout, never a claim of zero comments. Step 18 replaces the provisional title, Step 19 marks the draft ready unless a draft was requested, and a /ship that stops after Step 6.5 leaves the draft open with one comment saying why. ship's union cap rises to 1.5275 with the measured note (B4 +836 bytes, B2 +4,732 bytes); the step-numbering guard allows 6.5; ship goldens are refreshed for B4 and B2. Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(autoplan): the publication no-op is 'true autoplan-published <phase>' Measured on Claude Code 2.1.292 in a default-settings interactive session: a bare ':' Bash command asks for approval ('This command requires approval'), and after a background reviewer's completion notice starts a new turn the skill's allowed tools no longer cover it, so the phase-close no-op prompted the user. 'true' with arguments runs without approval and prints nothing. The guard only needs a later journaled record, so the command changes everywhere it is named. Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * test(evals): live autoplan-guard-pty case on the pinned Claude Code A gate-tier rule case (one trial, haiku) drives an interactive PTY session with default settings through a project skill that carries /autoplan's own hook block: init, Phase 1 entry, a CEO reviewer dispatch that sends run_in_background, a prepared close packet, the report published with the no-op, and the Phase 2 entry in a later message. It reads outcomes from the guard decision log (three verified allows) and fails if the no-op raises a permission card; other cards are approved and printed. Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(autoplan): bounded, append-tolerant owned-journal read (A2) The publication guard no longer reads the whole parent journal or refuses it at 32 MiB. lib/claude-owned-journal.ts streams the bytes present at open to the last complete line (pass one), keeps a content-free index per record and decides ownership, ancestry and causal order on it with the same checks and reason codes as before. Pass two reloads in full only what the evaluation reads (autoplan/bin/guard-journal.ts): every literal init and its result, the current call, and inside the invocation window (from the latest human turn at or before the bound chain's first init) guarded and close-packet Read results, structured Bash results, error results, assistant text after the first close Read and active-plan mutations, plus the earlier Read a dedup reply cites even before the window (ENG-4). - lib/claude-journal-records.ts: per-record event extraction, record metadata and the causal-order checks, shared by readPlanCountTranscript and the bounded reader. The batch reader keeps its whole-file read and cap. - Appends after open never fail a read; same device and inode and no shrink are required (identity). A second read in one hook invocation must hash bytes [0, first size) the same, or it is `rewritten` (UC1 unverified); the unrecognized-shape double read uses that prefix hash. `changing` is removed (REMOVED_CODES; its anchor stays). - OWNED_RECORD_MAX_BYTES (32 MiB): only one record over it is too_large. OWNED_RETAINED_MAX_BYTES (32 MiB): over it is the new oversized_invocation fallback denial. GSTACK_TRANSCRIPT_TEST_MAX_BYTES and GSTACK_TRANSCRIPT_TEST_RETAINED_BYTES can only lower them. - ENG-5: evaluation groups uses and results by tool id once (no per-tool rescans). CEO-25 / ENG-5 spike (120 MiB synthetic, 31,242 records, 4 vCPU Linux, Bun 1.4.2): a full streaming rescan (parse every line, small index, sha256) took 254-326 ms at 147-161 MiB peak RSS; a pass-one index cache under the state root (load cached index, verify a 64 KiB tail hash, parse the tail) took 26-29 ms at 47 MiB. The rescan meets the 1 s budget, so the cache is not adopted: it would add trusted persistent state and invalidation for no budget need. A backward tail read cannot prove competing_root or cycle, so it was not a candidate.

The workflow runs it on ubuntu-latest and macos-latest on workflow_dispatch only.

A free test proves that observer on a padded journal through the lower-only bound seams (the PTY counting reader refuses the same journal), with a sidechain control that must deny.

+818 people	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.

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). Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: venkatareddyg <venkatareddyg@users.noreply.github.com> * 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). Co-authored-by: venkatareddyg <venkatareddyg@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: CharlesBerg85 <CharlesBerg85@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: VaibDeveloper <VaibDeveloper@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: Hagetino <Hagetino@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: Rekin226 <Rekin226@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: ekson73 <ekson73@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: tianxchen <tianxchen@users.noreply.github.com> * 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). Co-authored-by: BenjaminDSmithy <BenjaminDSmithy@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: ubay887 <ubay887@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: nareshh74 <nareshh74@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: tianxchen <tianxchen@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: syong <syong@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: BenjaminDSmithy <BenjaminDSmithy@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: BenjaminDSmithy <BenjaminDSmithy@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: VaibDeveloper <VaibDeveloper@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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'. Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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.

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. Co-authored-by: Hagetino <Hagetino@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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). Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: venkatareddyg <venkatareddyg@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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(benchmark-models): an inline prompt goes through a prompt file Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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(office-hours): the reviewer receipt must match the receipt grammar before the check runs Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(setup-gbrain): cleanup-orphans collects the PAT with read_secret_to_env Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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(sync-gbrain): orchestrator flags must match an allowlisted grammar Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> * 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. --------- Co-authored-by: marcosdetry <marcosdetry@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: akshaykalia <akshaykalia@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: scottgigante-hubflow <scottgigante-hubflow@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: woodsonl <woodsonl@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: bezdekt <bezdekt@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: venkatareddyg <venkatareddyg@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: CharlesBerg85 <CharlesBerg85@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: VaibDeveloper <VaibDeveloper@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Hagetino <Hagetino@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Rekin226 <Rekin226@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: ekson73 <ekson73@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: tianxchen <tianxchen@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: BenjaminDSmithy <BenjaminDSmithy@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: ubay887 <ubay887@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: nareshh74 <nareshh74@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: syong <syong@users.noreply.github.com>	2026-10-06 23:42:19 +00:00
Garry Tan	55fbe77195	v1.91.24.0 test: audit wave — PR evals keep finished work, honest ceilings, EVAL_POLICY v2, faster free suite (#3031) ... * chore(scripts): retire hollow and legacy paid package scripts behind one-release stubs (W8a, DX-4, CEO-31) test:codex*, test:evals*, test:e2e*, test:gate, test:periodic, eval:bg, eval:bg:all, eval:flake-rank, eval:watch and test:audit now print their replacement and exit 1 via scripts/retired-command.ts. CONTRIBUTING.md carries the same table; test/retired-commands.test.ts pins both. Eval CLI empty-state hints point at eval:bg:pr. * chore: delete dead update-readme-throughput, eval-watch, orphan fixtures and QA_FUNCTIONAL_INPUTS (W8b, CEO-24) Retired with named behavior: - update-readme-throughput.ts + readme-throughput test: replaced a README anchor that no longer exists from a JSON file that was never produced; the script was a no-op. Guarantee withdrawn (nothing to protect). - eval-watch.ts + its dashboard tests: rendered ~/.gstack-dev/e2e-live.json and _partial-e2e.json, written only by unsharded runs, so it showed nothing for every supported (sharded) entry point. Guarantee withdrawn; live progress is the gstack-detach log or gh run watch. Manual-review rendering stays covered by eval-list and eval-summary tests. - Orphan fixtures (autoplan-pending-artifact-ae.json, autoplan-existing-app/, autoplan-sign-in-ui/, parity baselines v1.47.0.0/v1.57.7.0/v1.69.1.0): no test, touchfile or script reads them; superseded baselines stay in git history. - QA_FUNCTIONAL_INPUTS: exported, never imported. * refactor(test-free): delete dead WORKER_HOSTILE list and buildShardArgs parallel mode Neither had a production caller: full-suite mode runs shard processes, so the worker quarantine was inert and --parallel was never passed (W8b). * docs(test-value): narrow prompt-byte contract to machine-read tokens (D2) Define prompt-byte contract as machine-read tokens (markers, field names, command lines, enum values, file paths, security-boundary strings) and add a sentence-pin glossary entry: convert to structural checks or delete when a behavioral eval covers the behavior. * test(ratchet): count free tests that slice a paid test's source A free test that binds readFileSync(<paid test file>) and cuts it with .slice() tests the paid harness's code out of context even when it imports a lib/ symbol. Record the 15 existing files with reasons; new ones fail with fix text. Self-test covers positive and negative shapes. * test(browse): un-quarantine compare-board; all 16 board tests pass headless (W8d, CEO-24) The GSTACK_COMPARE_BOARD_TESTS opt-in hid a headless mismatch that no longer reproduces: all 16 tests pass on Bun 1.4.0 with the bundled headless Chromium, solo, repeated, and beside other in-process browser files. Protected behavior (the comparison-board DOM contract the plan-design-review/office-hours/design-consultation feedback loop polls) is checked on every free run again. * test: replace silent existsSync early returns with explicit skips or assertions (W8d) - browse/test/build.test.ts: server-node.mjs checks skip only when the bundle is absent and GSTACK_EXPECT_BINARIES is unset; the free CI lane and test:ubicloud build it and set the flag, so a dropped build step fails with the build command instead of passing with no assertions. - gstack-update-check: VERSION is tracked; the guard could only hide a bug. - gen-skill-docs host leakage/frontmatter checks assert the host tree exists (the module-level render always produces it). - cso-docker staged-runtime test uses test.skipIf so reports show it as skipped, not passed. * test(ship): convert ship-workflow-clarity sentence pins to structural checks Add test/helpers/prompt-structure.ts (between, expectTokens, expectAbsent, expectOrdered, expectMentions) with fix text on failure. ship-workflow-clarity now pins headings, step order and machine-read tokens (commands, fields, enum and status strings); safety rules are meaning-level keyword checks. Wording is judged by the 'ship/SKILL.md workflow' judge in skill-llm-eval. Sentence pins: 90 -> 0. * ci: add platform-qualification lane for opt-in ML, gitleaks and Swift tests (W8d, CEO-24) security-bench + security-live-playwright L4 (SECURITY_BENCH), the real gitleaks 8.30.1 memory-ingest cases (GSTACK_TEST_GITLEAKS) and the DebugBridge Swift build invariants (GSTACK_TEST_SWIFT) self-skip in every lane today. No scheduled lane has their prerequisites, so per CEO-24 they move to an owned dispatch + quarterly workflow instead of being deleted. Each job was run locally (ML 10 pass, gitleaks 130 pass; Swift needs macOS). test/platform-qualification-workflow.test.ts pins gate variable, job and file together. * fix(scripts): capture-baseline and preflight-agent-sdk no longer act on --help or typos (W8e) capture-baseline parses its flags strictly: --help prints usage, an unknown or valueless flag exits 2, and only a valid invocation writes a fixture (--help used to write test/fixtures/parity-baseline-current.json). preflight-agent-sdk gains --help, rejects unknown flags, and runs the live SDK query (API spend) only with --live. * test(evals): register the three keyless periodic paid files with case ids (W1b) skill-e2e-auq-consistency, skill-e2e-auq-verbose-vs-carved-ab and codex-e2e-recommendation-substance now carry touchfiles, a periodic tier and kind rule (one trial, unchanged), so editing one selects its own case instead of restoring the full PR gate. The verbose A/B case also registers the vendored pre-cut fixture it reads, and review-army-migration-safety registers the SQL fixture it reads. * feat(evals): narrow PR fallback for free-only inputs (W1a, CEO-13/20, ENG-13) The PR profile now exempts the duration seeds, every free-lane workflow (explicit list; inventory test fails on an unclassified workflow, .yaml and workflow_call included), scripts/ubicloud/** and fixtures declared in the explicit FREE_FIXTURES map. Each remaining unknown file carries a label and fix (needs touchfile entry / add to FREE_ONLY_PR_FILES / real unknown dependency). evals.yml itself still restores the full gate. * ci: delete ci-image.yml; the eval workflows already build and push the same content-hash tag (W8f) evals.yml, evals-periodic.yml and evals-marathon.yml each compute the identical hashFiles() tag and build/push it (with :buildcache and :latest) when missing, so ci-image's push trigger and weekly cron were no-ops (30-day median 0.5 min, 36/36 success). ci-image-tag-binding now pins the three eval workflows. * ci(evals): key periodic/marathon concurrency on ref+event; branch periodic dispatch skips the gate census (W2a, ENG-9, CEO-04) * refactor(paid): drop ~160 unused imports; leaf paid-types/paid-select modules break the paid-* import cycle (W8c) * ci(quality-gate): per-PR concurrency, free runner, drop unscoped bun audit (W2a, W8f) - Concurrency keys on pull_request.number || run_id, so back-to-back main pushes no longer cancel each other's credential scan. - ubuntu-24.04 instead of a billed 8-vCPU Ubicloud runner for a ~1 min job. - bun audit --audit-level=critical ran on every PR regardless of diff, so a newly published advisory turned unrelated PRs red, with its own ignore policy. dependency-review (lockfile PRs, fail >= high) and the weekly OSV sweep remain the dependency gates. * chore(test-free): refresh the free duration seed from the audit's Ubicloud recording Adds the 19 files merged after the last refresh, including the 115 s claude-overlay-setup that packed as ~1 s and doubled a shard (W6a). The seed is re-recorded on the final tree at the end of this wave. * ci: move tiny ubicloud-standard-2 jobs to free ubuntu-24.04 runners (W8f) actionlint, skill-docs, dependency-review, version-gate and pr-title-sync are sub-minute jobs; GitHub-hosted runners are free for this public repo. * feat(test-free): pessimistic unseeded packing, seed growth ratchet and CI health summary - Unseeded files pack at the seed's p99 instead of p75 (W6a). - --ci-plan warns in the job summary past 5 unseeded files; --ci-verify lists shards that outran their prediction by 1.5x (and 30 s) plus every flaky pass absorbed by the serial retry (W6a, W7a job summary). - test/free-seed-ratchet.test.ts fails when a seeded file over 60 s is not on scripts/free-test-seed-allowlist.json, when an entry is stale, and when the allowlist grows versus its merge-base copy unless the new entry is an annotated exception with a todo (CEO-10, DX-7). free-plan runs it with full history so the shrink check is real in the required lane. - Every message names the fix command and docs anchor (DX-6). * feat(evals): state PR coverage mode, counts, reuse and fallback files in the summary and comment (CEO-13) * test: make the tracked-tree skill-doc freshness check local-only; tidy skill-docs header (W8f) Every free CI shard regenerates the tracked SKILL.md files before running tests, so the --dry-run freshness assertion compared the regenerated tree with itself and could not fail there. It now skips under GitHub Actions; skill-docs.yml's git diff --exit-code is CI's freshness gate. Removes a stale concurrency comment in skill-docs.yml. * ci(free-tests): install zsh so the bash+zsh portability arms run (W6f) ~42 zsh-arm tests (aside-probe-shell, qa-browser-preservation, generated-docs-fences) skipped in CI because zsh is not in the runner image. All 141 tests in those files pass with zsh present. * feat(evals): executors write negative receipts at the execution boundary (CEO-25, ENG-6) A completed single-trial rule/judge shard that did not pass now writes its negative receipt beside the pass receipts in the slice artifact, so a cancelled run's FAIL still blocks an older PASS when its report never runs. Receipts merge negatives first and order by (run attempt, completedAt); a same-second FAIL/PASS tie resolves to FAIL. The runner call site is a one-line hunk in scripts/test-paid-shards.ts. * docs(cso): state that contained runtime/scanner execution is unavailable today The scanner catalog is empty while its build inputs await review and the runtime catalog holds no qualified profile until the private evaluator exists, so /cso runs static assessment only. AGENTS.md, README and docs/cso-release-qualification.md now say so; docs/cso-scanners.md already did. * test(helpers): expectMentions splits on sentence ends only Clauses joined by ';' or ':' are one rule; splitting there made a reworded rule fail for punctuation. * test(plan-ceo): convert skill-ceo-section-ordering sentence pins Safety and authority rules (never/do not/stop/only/without/wait/approval) are meaning-level expectMentions checks; other sentence pins are dropped. Headings, labels, option rows, placeholders and machine-read lines (auto-decide annotation, Mode:/approved decisions format, STATUS/SOURCE fields, CROSS-MODEL marker, gstack-ceo-mode-handoff) stay as tokens; ordering checks unchanged. Behavior is covered by the periodic PTY case in skill-e2e-plan-ceo-review-section-loading.test.ts. Sentence pins: 210 -> 23. * test(helpers): expectMentions treats wrapped lines as one sentence Templates hard-wrap prose; only sentence ends and blank lines separate rules. * test(gen-skill-docs): convert sentence pins to meaning checks or drop them Safety/authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks; other English sentences are dropped (wording is judged by the per-skill workflow judges in skill-llm-eval and the E2E cases in touchfiles-data). Commands, config keys, markers (PLAN MODE EXCEPTION, NO UNRESOLVED DECISIONS, Gate outcome), field names and alternation-based meaning regexes stay. Removed the now-empty 'contains opt-in AskUserQuestion text' test (only pinned a sentence; the resolver's AskUserQuestion wiring is covered by the codex second-opinion tests in the same describe). Lane E's existsSync hunks are untouched. Sentence pins: 216 -> 65 (remaining lines carry machine tokens). * ci(windows): shard the Windows lane via --ci-plan/--ci-run/--ci-verify; move native campaigns to native-qualification.yml - windows-free-tests.yml: a Linux plan job curates and packs the Windows-safe files into 6 shards, one strict serial shard per windows-latest job, and a Linux aggregate verifies exact coverage and every result (8.1 min on one runner today). --windows-only now combines with the CI modes; the plan binds the curated file set (W6e). - Every Windows plan and --list run prints the curated count with its top exclusion reasons in the job summary; a free ratchet fails when the curated subset drops below its floor, with the fix (W6e). - The four Dia/cookie diagnostic dispatch campaigns move to the dispatch-only native-qualification.yml with one exclusive `mode` choice input, so their red dispatch runs no longer read as a red PR lane (W8f). Their workflow pins move to test/windows-native-workflows.test.ts; the boolean-exclusivity guard is replaced by the choice input. * feat(paid): per-slice CI job ceilings and an in-process slice deadline with not_run/hung outcomes and checkpoints (W2c, ENG-2) * fix(pass-rates): segment trial history strictly by EVAL_POLICY version Reader-compatibility floor for EVAL_POLICY v2 (ENG-14/CEO-35/DX-12). Only trials under the reader's own policy version feed labels and alarms; older policy trials stay visible but are never scored or used as a drift baseline; trials from a newer policy are ignored with a printed count and fix text. Reverting the later v2 writer commits leaves a reader that cannot pool v2 records into v1 series (the pre-PR reader at 2db0b3a does: it reports a mixed fixture as FAILING with drift alarms). * docs: one contributor command table; retired commands, seed sources and current workflows (W8g, DX-5, DX-13, CEO-12) - CONTRIBUTING.md gains 'Which command do I run?' (task -> command -> cost/time -> needs, including branch validation via gh workflow run); CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and TESTING_INTERNALS.md link to it instead of repeating command lists. Tier tables drop retired commands and stale per-run dollar estimates. - Retired names (test:evals, test:e2e, eval:bg, eval:flake-rank, eval:watch, ...) are gone from CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, TESTING_INTERNALS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md and USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK.md. - The flake-ledger claim now says what happens: CI uploads flake-ledger-* artifacts; eval:pass-rates reads only the local ledger. - TESTING_INTERNALS states that only test:ubicloud --record-durations produces an acceptable duration seed (DX-13). - CI section: quality gate no longer runs bun audit; dependency-review's real trigger; the platform-qualification lane. - docs/test-audit-2026-09.md gets a corrections section for its stale claims. - TODOS.md: audit follow-ups (post-merge metrics, stub removal, name reclaim, diff-aware planner); eval-watch shard-awareness and the image freshness tripwire closed as won't-do. * feat(evals): recover receipts of cancelled PR runs (W1c, CEO-14/34, ENG-4/5/7) A new recover-receipts job runs base-ref code with actions: read, restores the PR's store, merges the receipts of completed cancelled evals.yml runs for this PR (provenance-checked, at most 5, oldest first, negatives first), reconstructs completed panel negatives with panelVerdict() (partial panels get no credit) and keeps a recovery.json checkpoint that never advances past an unresolved run. plan-slices keeps contents: read, takes the store as an artifact, turns reuse off when recovery degraded or a run is unresolved, and carries the whole store to slices-report so nothing is lost. Any gh problem degrades to no recovered receipts with a named reason. * feat(evals): classify this wave's free-only tools and workflows for PR selection platform-qualification.yml, retired-command.ts, test-health-report.ts, bump-harness-version.ts and eval-bg.ts never run inside a paid case. * feat(evals): debounce PR push bursts before planning paid slices (W1d, CEO-15, ENG-11, DX-7) A tiny ubuntu-24.04 job waits 90 s only on synchronize when another run for the PR started in the last 15 minutes; cancel-in-progress supersedes, and a run that outlives the wait reports "superseded by <sha>" and plans nothing. Labels: evals-no-debounce skips the wait, evals-fresh disables receipt reuse. * perf(test): move the real-process browser settlement cases out of test-free-shards.test.ts (W6b) The 19 owned-browser settlement modes were 85 s of the file's 95 s and could not be packed apart from the fast runner unit cases. They move to a shared fixture with two files (lifecycle 47 s, ownership 39 s); the unit file drops to 10 s. Same modes, same assertions. * chore(evals): delete the finished validation_phase dispatch and its inline planner (W8f) Retirement (CEO-24): the protected behavior was a one-off cookie-repair validation subset (eight dependent cases) and a quality/behavior split of the census; that validation is complete, so the guarantee is withdrawn. Branch validation dispatches evals.yml with evals_all. * perf(test): inject the office-hours record grace in non-cooperative deadline tests * perf(test): shrink aside-render process slack via GSTACK_RENDER_SLACK_MS in timeout tests * perf(test): make the memorable lock give-up configurable for lock-contention tests * perf(test): check install-timeout knob normalization through its own setup lines * perf(test): inject a 2 s storage-reset deadline in the late isolated dispatch test * perf(test): shorten the slow gbrain fake to 1 s, still past the 300 ms probe timeout * ci(free-tests): run only cso-docker-integration in the free CSO Docker job (F16) cso-node-lifecycle-integration and cso-stack-cold-integration need GSTACK_CSO_TEST_STACK images and always skipped there; they stay in the CSO runtime workflows through test:cso:docker. * test(gen-skill-docs,plan-ceo): split mixed sentence pins into tokens and rules Sentences that wrap a backticked or bold token keep the token (expectTokens) and, when they state a safety rule, a keyword check; short safety sentences (25-39 chars) get the same treatment. * test(plan-ceo): convert ceo-workflow-clarity.test.ts sentence pins Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped.

The nonce appears in run-name so the dispatcher resolves its own run; evals_all=false runs the PR profile against base_sha/base_ref; a checkout that differs from expected_sha fails before any paid work with a named fix; pr_receipts reads that PR's receipts read-only through the recover-receipts artifact path (never the cache) and never saves. * ci(windows): pack the Windows lane with Windows-measured durations (W6e) The first sharded run (37221451711) finished in 6.0 min: the Linux seed has browse/test/cookie-import-native-job.test.ts at ~0 s (its cases skip on Linux) but it takes 122 s on Windows, so one shard ran 242 s against an 84 s prediction. The plan now reads scripts/free-test-durations-windows.json; a record_durations dispatch times every Windows-safe file alone and uploads it. * test(free): settlement case files import the runner rule they exercise Keeps the split files out of the test-of-test ratchet: the retry-eligibility rule is a direct runner import passed to the shared fixture. * fix(marathon): no hollow plan-decision-classification shard; office-hours marathon scenario scoped to the pilot (W2f) * test(free): satisfy the typecheck:test ratchet in the seed ratchet test * refactor(ci-history): one shared GitHub history reader with the CI flake-ledger reader Extract pass-rates' gh fetch layer into scripts/lib/ci-history.ts (CEO-09) and add the W7a reader: paged run listings that fail whole on any page error, per-run artifact downloads (cached, size-capped, data only), flake-ledger parsing, the pre-registered flaky-file rule (> 5% of main free-tests runs over a window of at least 20 runs, widened to the newest 20 runs when the window is thinner), a job-summary table, and named unavailable reasons with next steps. * feat(test-health): test:health report of the audit success metrics scripts/test-health-report.ts (CEO-09/06/22/32, DX-8/9/12/13) prints every success metric with its counting rule from CI history: PR full-fallback rate, reused PR trial records, PR-lane spend per merged PR and per validated revision, cancelled slice-minutes per week, push-to-verdict p50/p95, census expected failed trials per run with raw failure rate per kind/class and P(lane red) under the recorded panels vs single-trial aggregation, INFRA re-dispatches, quarantine evidence (insufficient evidence distinct from healthy), free flaky-pass rate, free/Windows wall, free serial time and the net-complexity line. An unreadable input prints 'unavailable: <reason>; next: <step>', never 0. --enforce fails on a flaky file (W7a) or > 5 unseeded free files (CEO-10); unavailable checks never fail and keep the issue open. * test(review): convert review-workflow-clarity.test.ts sentence pins Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped.

Sentence pins: 16 -> 1. * test(plan-ceo): restore the stale closing-route guard The negative check for 'Closing hooks' / 'return to section' guards a retired route token, not a sentence; the first conversion pass dropped it. * ci(test-health): weekly test-health workflow with an honest tracking issue New test-health.yml (CEO-18/DX-9): Monday 10:00 UTC after the periodic census plus dispatch, free ubuntu-24.04 runner, permissions contents:read + actions:read + issues:write only. Runs bun run test:health --since-days 7 --enforce; an enforced failure upserts one tracking issue, a run with unavailable inputs keeps it open and lists them, and it closes only when every enforced check has evidence and passes. Only main runs touch the issue. * feat(evals): an edited paid test file runs its own gate cases in the PR lane (DX-11) A gate case outside the audited fast profile is selected when its single owning paid test file changed and the runner can select it by name (its Bun test is named by the case id). The manifest records directCases and validation accepts only recorded, name-addressable ones; the runner and planner read the file->cases map from test-pr-profile. Cases the runner cannot address stay deferred with the fix. An inventory test covers every owned gate case. Touches one hunk each in test-paid-shards.ts and lib/paid-plan.ts, and pr-shared-input-selection.test.ts's ship-skip pin. * ci(osv): tracking issue for scheduled reds and a 14-day suppression expiry test F11/W8f: a failed main OSV scan now upserts one tracking issue and a clean scan closes it (scheduled reds notified no one during the August backlog). A free test fails 14 days before any .osv-scanner.toml ignoreUntil (all four expire 2026-11-30), with the fix: upgrade and delete, or re-justify and move the date. * test(ship,review): keep guards against retired fail-open instructions 'skip silently' on reviewer failure and 'do not block /ship on subagent failure' were harmful instructions, not prose style; keep them absent with the shortest distinctive phrase. * feat(eval-select): default to the pr profile DX-10: eval:select previews the PR lane's selection by default, matching test:pr and eval:bg:pr; --profile full (or EVALS_PROFILE=full) keeps the plain touchfile selection. * test(evals): type-clean the recovery gh fake (typecheck:test ratchet) * chore(windows): record the Windows duration seed (run 37221963236) 573 Windows-safe files timed alone on windows-latest; cookie-import-native-job is 102 s there. Six shards now predict 154 s each. * feat(evals): eval:bg dispatches the pushed ref to CI or runs locally under a 1.5x-planned cap (W5d, CEO-17/29, DX-1/2/3/7, ENG-12/19) * feat(runners): --help on both shard runners via the shared flag loop; paid runner header describes today's planner/executor/report (W8e) * test(windows): drop the stale Playwright exclusion and force-include probe-proven files (W6e) A temporary windows-latest probe (run 37221995077) ran each of the 97 files excluded for 'launches Playwright browser' or 'raw /tmp/ path' alone: all 17 Playwright files pass (Chromium is installed and Bun drives it there), and 41 of the /tmp files pass with executed cases. The Playwright pattern is removed and the 41 files are force-included with the probe as their reason; the 36 real failures stay excluded. The curated subset grows from 573 to 631 files and the ratchet floor follows. Windows curation moves to scripts/lib/windows-curation.ts (the runner drops to 2000 lines). * test(free): one install fixture cloned from a read-only seed (W6c, ENG-1) Merge test/helpers/setup-codex-scope-fixture.ts into install-fixture.ts. The checkout is built once per test file into a read-only seed and cloned per fixture with copy-on-write where the filesystem has it (full copy otherwise), restoring each file's own mode; clones never hard-link the seed because put() and tests write in place. Callers register afterAll(cleanupSeed); Bun's runner fires no exit event, so seeds of killed runs are swept by pid. test/install-fixture.test.ts is the ENG-1 tripwire: put/setVersion/chmod in one clone leave the seed and a sibling unchanged, and clones share no inodes with the read-only seed. * test(free): split claude-overlay-setup by describe (W6b) The 115 s serial file becomes default/lifecycle/installs files (5/4/3 tests, unchanged bodies) sharing test/helpers/claude-overlay-fixture.ts, so the shard packer can balance them. * test(cso): convert cso-contracts.test.ts sentence pins Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped.

The v1 touchfile identity is removed. Rollback = revert this commit (and the W4 commits above the reader-compat floor); readers then ignore the v2 records with a printed count. * test: restore pins on paid-harness prompt inputs review-enum-lifecycle and plan-review-report-recording assert the prompt a paid case's harness builds (opts.prompt / call.prompt), a fixture contract, not skill prose. * test(security): check injected safety lines on meaning, not capitals content-security, the canary instruction and the arm judge prompt still must carry their never-follow / never-output / exact-"none" rules; the checks are case-insensitive keyword checks so emphasis can change. The UNTRUSTED envelope markers and "none" value stay exact tokens. (Hidden element stripping fails locally only because Playwright Chromium is not installed; same at base.) * test(plan-ceo): keep the outside-voice scope-summary rule as a meaning check The first codemod pass left an empty if body (TS1313). * chore(windows): re-record the Windows duration seed for the 631-file subset (run 37222668939) * ci(free-tests): summarize every shard's flake ledger in the aggregate job (W7a) The aggregate downloads flake-ledger-* (one subdirectory per shard) and appends lane C's `scripts/test-health-report.ts flake-summary` output to the job summary before strict verification. The runner's own flaky table is dropped so the ledger reader stays the single source; --ci-verify keeps the shard-overrun warning. * feat(evals): free test files anywhere and the stored-zip helper never restore the full PR gate (W1a) The CEO-23 replay found design/test free tests forcing fallback (36485436963). * feat(evals): replay recorded PR pushes through today's selector (CEO-23, ENG-18) scripts/replay-pr-selection.ts reports per push the recorded vs replayed mode and case count, dropped gate cases, retired failed cases and every miss (a failed case that depends on the diff but is no longer selected). * refactor(evals): one case-sharded carve-section-loading file with a case id and touchfiles per skill (W5a) * test(free): hold qa-deadline's full-pipe case on a FIFO, not a paused Bun stream Bun gives a child 'pipe' stdio a unix socketpair, so whether the 2 MB fill actually blocks depends on the parent's reader and the host's socket buffer sizes. CI (run 36761671811, both attempts) saw exit 0 after ~130 ms; with net.core.{w,r}mem_default=4 MiB locally the old case fails 3/3 the same way. A FIFO the test never reads is bounded by the kernel pipe buffer, so the receipt write genuinely blocks and the 5 s settlement deadline must fire. The 7 s bound now starts once the preload has queued the write. * test(free): event-driven waits in pty-output-wake close-releases-observers: the 500 ms wall race becomes an ordering check (the waiter is released while only SIGINT has been sent, before close's escalation finishes), and the Bun.spawn spy fakes only the PTY launch so a shard neighbor's in-process spawn cannot add a stray SIGTERM (CI runs 36015568981, 36036582721, 36074636848). continuous-redraws: the fixture spinner stops once the observer has made five coalesced reads, so the run reaches its work deadline with no redraw in flight. Streaming right up to the deadline raced the helper's screen drain and failed as 'PTY screen parse failed; viewport is incomplete' (5 CI runs 09-30..10-03; 4/40 locally under 8 busy loops, 0/40 after). * test(free): session-runner long-capture handshake waits for the collected Read event The fake CLI's init line arms the runner's work-phase timer, so the worker's handshake (work-ready + a >200 s timer) could pass before the runner's read loop had collected the Read event printed just before work-ready. Advancing the clock then killed the run with the Read lost: readSection false (CI run 37194511124). The worker now also waits for the runner's own progress line for that Read. Forcing the observed ordering (work-ready 200 ms before the Read line) fails the old test deterministically and passes the new one. * test(free): budget-override restores the CI variables it rewrites Its provenance cases set and then deleted CI, GITHUB_ACTIONS, GITHUB_REF_NAME, GITHUB_SHA and the GitLab CI_* names without restoring them, so in a CI shard every later file ran with CI unset. qa-only-cleanup's real browse daemons then launched Chromium without --no-sandbox, the sandbox failed on the runner, and both real-Chromium cases timed out with 'QA cleanup fixture did not become ready' (shard 12 attempt 1 of six runs on 10-04, retry alone green). Retained startup log: 'Chromium sandboxing failed!', child env with no CI. Reproduced 3/3 with CI=true, userns denied and budget-override ahead of qa-only-cleanup in one process; 0/3 after. * test(free): pr-shared-input-selection names its base and package history Every selection now passes EVALS_BASE and packageVersionOnly explicitly, so no case reads the checkout's git state. Before, 12 calls ran detectBaseBranch and the cumulative case diffed package.json against merge-base(origin/main, HEAD) — the ambient input that turned main red in runs 36572856858 and 36594314027. A PATH git spy counts 14 git calls in the old file and 0 now. * feat(evals): derive PR-lane dependents for unmapped files instead of restoring the full gate scripts/pr-dependencies.ts derives, from the checked-out tree, which paid cases consume each repository file: test import closures, repo paths and path.join segments in code/shell/skill text (whole-line comments and selection data excluded), bin script names, compiled binaries by outfile path (scripts/build.sh), package scripts, template placeholders through RESOLVERS, and host configs by host id. The global touchfiles' import closure is global. PR selection: an unmapped file with derived consumers puts the run in the new 'dependents' mode (every dependent gate case and judge, no profile cut); a tracked file under a derivable directory that nothing reaches is exempt; periodic/marathon workflows, .gitignore and tsconfig.test.json never run the PR gate. PR_FULL_GATE_FILES is the fail-closed list (deps, CI image, setup, build, evals.yml and its actions, test preload, tsconfig.json, .gitattributes, the skill generator and preamble resolvers, the eval policy). Untracked or underivable files restore the full gate with fix text. The summary and PR comment list derived dependents. * feat(evals): replay misses count derived dependents; report wave vs ordinary pushes (CEO-23) * test: drop FREE_FIXTURES entries for fixtures deleted in W8b * test: re-shape the census attribution fixture to qa-workflow and carve case shards * test: census fixture case order * ci: 420 s PR-lane slices with per-slice ceilings; periodic tracking issue only on main evals.yml joins the census lanes at the 420 s slice budget (W5c/CEO-15) and indexes each eval slice's job timeout from .plan.sliceCiTimeoutMinutes with the slice-deadline clock as its first step (W2c/ENG-2). evals-periodic.yml's tracking-issue upsert and close run only on refs/heads/main, so a branch dispatch whose gate census is skipped (CEO-04) never opens or closes #2755. * docs: integrate lane docs for the audit wave (eval-bg backends, PR fallback, policy v2, ceilings, evidence) - CLAUDE.md: 'Running evals as an agent' describes scripts/eval-bg.ts's dispatch and local backends, forcing flags, the sentinel and status; eval:select's PR-profile default; prompt-structure helper and value-bar terms. instruction-facts now requires scripts/eval-bg.ts in that section. - CONTRIBUTING.md: decision table gains test:health, eval:select default, eval:bg backends and the include_gate_census / evals_all dispatch lines; 420 s runners and per-runner ceilings; flake ledger, OSV tracking issue and expiry test, weekly test health; prompt-structure guidance. - AGENTS.md: build commands name the eval:bg backend choice and test:health. - docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md: anchors the fix texts point to (#pr-paid-lane-fallback, #pass-rate-policy-versions, #harness-version, #flake-ledger, #duration-seed), receipts/recovery/debounce, per-slice ceilings, the slice deadline with not_run/hung and checkpoints, the eval-bg cap formula in place of the detach floors, EVAL_POLICY v2 history, carve case shards via --case. - docs/test-audit-2026-10.md: CEO-23 replay (165/168 -> 164/168 full-fallback, 0 misses), ENG-17 slice table (re-measured on this tree), D2 prose-pin metric. - TODOS.md: progress note on 'Let pass-rate history decide the rest'. - test/testing-internals-anchors.test.ts: every TESTING_INTERNALS.md#anchor named in code must match a heading. * test(free): hold qa-deadline's blocked-output-pipe receipts on a FIFO The five 'guard %s receipts survive a blocked output pipe' cases filled a paused Bun child pipe with 2 MiB. That pipe is a unix socketpair, so the fill only blocks while the host's socket buffers are smaller than the write: with net.core.{w,r}mem_default=4 MiB the old cases fail 13 of 15 case runs (the guard finishes before the test resumes the stream). The held stream is now a FIFO the test drains only after resume(), bounded by the kernel pipe buffer; Windows keeps the paused pipe. Bounds and assertions are unchanged. * test(free): qa-deadline waits for a written pid, not just the pid file DRIVER and LEAF write their pid with writeFileSync, so under load ready() can see the file before its digits and fail 'expected > 0, received 0' (seen once in 150 loaded runs). After any early failure the finally SIGKILLs the CLI, which orphans the detached command group; a leaf whose pid file is not yet readable then keeps the output stream open and the case hangs to its 15 s timeout (2/80 old-file runs and 3/310 FIFO-only runs under 8 busy loops; the instrumented hang showed the CLI already SIGKILLed by the finally). ready() now polls within the same 3 s bound until the file holds a positive pid. * fix(evals): a deleted file selects the dependents of the live files that still reference it PR selection treated every path absent from the head tree as an unknown dependency, so any PR that deleted a file forced the full gate. A deleted path is now placed like a live one, against the head tree: a matching touchfile selects its cases; live code, skill text or a full-gate input that still references it (path, extensionless import target, relative import, bin name, ancestor directory, compiled-binary outfile; whole-line comments and data files excluded) contributes its dependents, a full-gate referencer restores the full gate with a 'deleted but still referenced' fix, and an unreferenced deleted path has no dependents. Deleted PR_FULL_GATE_FILES entries still force the full gate. Tests that used absent paths as stand-ins for new unmapped files now use tracked root files (or an explicit tracked set); the CEO-23 replay counts misses through those references too. * docs: integrate free-suite lane docs (seed anchor, Windows lane, native qualification, install fixture, flake rules) - docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md: '### Free suite duration seed' (the anchor the seed messages link) with DX-13, the 99th-percentile packing, --ci-plan warning, --ci-verify overruns and the CEO-10 seed ratchet; the Windows 6-job lane, its Windows-measured seed and refresh dispatch, curation and WINDOWS_CURATED_FLOOR; native-qualification.yml modes; the merged install fixture; test-only timing knobs; the flake-ledger job summary, Windows ledger names and three free-suite flake rules; zsh in the Ubicloud mirror. - scripts/test-health-report.ts links #free-suite-duration-seed, so the two seed messages share one heading (the anchor test caught the split). - CONTRIBUTING.md: Windows seed refresh and native qualification rows; seed-source pointer. AGENTS.md: Windows six-job lane. - docs/cso-release-qualification.md: the free CSO Docker job runs only cso-docker-integration.test.ts. - docs/test-audit-2026-10.md: free-suite evidence lines. - TODOS.md: CEO-11b progress note on the pre-push hook hang. * test: final duration seeds on the integrated tree; retire the emptied cookie-validation-phases file Linux seed re-recorded on Ubicloud standard-16 and the Windows seed from dispatch run 37227140871, both at c903310. The seed allowlist drops the three entries that are no longer over the ceiling. cookie-validation-phases lost its validation-phase pins with W8f and its Windows/Dia pins moved to windows-native-workflows with native-qualification.yml, so the file is deleted and the curated Windows floor rises to 638. The Windows recorder writes the seed at its default path so GSTACK_FREE_TEST_DURATIONS never leaks into timed tests. * test: re-express stale PR-lane pins against the new evals.yml contract - ci-eval-cache: the profile/fresh expressions now include evals_all=false dispatches and pr_receipts/evals-fresh; the PR store is restored only by recover-receipts (still scoped to repository_id + PR, PR events only), plan-slices takes it as an artifact and never touches the cache, saves stay PR-only, EVALS_CACHE_PR binds pr_receipts dispatches, and the report verdict artifact carries report receipts. - ci-paid-coordination: plan-slices needs only the two ubuntu coordination jobs (never the image); the fork/Dependabot clause is unchanged on plan-slices and also gates debounce and recover-receipts; only recovery holds actions: read. - qa-supervision-selection: auq-consistency and auq-verbose-vs-carved-ab (W1b) reach claude-pty-runner and pty-screen through auq-sdk-capture, exactly as auq-format-gate does. - paid-retry-supervision: the full-validation plan uses a tracked full-gate input (setup); an absent path is now a deletion placed by its references. * ci(windows): record the Windows seed at the default path * chore: HARNESS_VERSION non-behavioral decision for the audit-wave integration * v1.91.20.0 release metadata: test, eval and CI audit wave * test(compare-board): wait for the post-submit state the feedback POST settles The two post-submit assertions read the board once, but the board disables the submit button and shows the message only after its feedback POST resolves. On a loaded Ubicloud shard the read beat the round trip (FLAKY-PASS in the final free-suite run). Delaying the POST by 400 ms reproduces both failures at HEAD; polling for the settled state passes. * test(plan-eng plan-mode): run the seeded STOP-gate smoke in its own fixture project The seeded plan proposes a custom test runner, so the review's Step 0 reads the working tree's test setup. In the gstack checkout that is gstack's own sharded runner, and the case timed out at 300 s in census 37228573062 after this wave reshaped the runner. It now runs in a four-file Bun project with git history, with the product-notice suppression auto-decide-preserved's standalone fixture already uses. Local pass on Bun 1.4.0 + Claude Code 2.1.284: asked in 121 s, seed tokens observed. * test(plan-mode evidence): pin the seeded eng smoke's isolated fixture cwd and env * ci(image): Git >= 2.44 so paid shared-libs cases run the supported safe-git path bin/gstack-safe-git prefixes every /deslop-shared-libs Git read with --no-lazy-fetch, which noble's git 2.43 rejects (exit 129). The eval image therefore ran every paid shared-libs case on the unsupported-Git fallback: local history unavailable, branch HEAD unknown. shared-libs-read-only failed on exactly that in PR run 37230639146 ("Current branch HEAD: unknown. The safe-git probe failed (unknown option: --no-lazy-fetch, git 2.43.0)") and in 2 of 74 earlier PR runs. The image installs current Git from the Ubuntu Git Maintainers PPA and fails its build if --no-lazy-fetch is missing; the deliberate unsupported-Git case keeps its fake Git. * eval: pool matching branch census trials into main's pass-rate series (D1 option b) Approved 2026-10-05. eval:pass-rates also reads completed branch census runs in the weekly window. A branch trial counts only toward a series a main run also has (same case-owned bytes, HARNESS_VERSION, model and CLI), so a branch extends main's history but never starts or becomes a case's current series; weeks for quarantine expiry still count main runs only. The D1 backtest put this at 67 of 210 cases with enough trials for the entry rule, against 0 of 195 on main alone. * 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). (cherry picked from commit e14c0c1de1) * 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. (cherry picked from commit 78d4a2a343) * qa: fit the C2 judge fixes under the qa and review size caps Brings GSTA-21's qa.ts trims (3bd625d, ce73af0) for the cherry-picked C2 wording: PROBE_DIR keeps 'owned', the stop line points at §4, and the post-expiry rule is one sentence, so /review fits its cap. qa measures 93,303 / 84,049 = 1.11010 against the same 1.1102 cap GSTA-21 set. The qa-only workflow judge passed 10 of 10 local trials on this wording (7 of 10 before the C2 fixes). * 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. (cherry picked from commit e36e622add) * 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. (cherry picked from commit f8dc64031e) * chore: restore the audit wave's package scripts after the main merge (version 1.91.23) * qa: keep main's one-sentence post-expiry rule for /review and /ship The C2 variants ("step 4c reruns plan checks only" and "even in 4c") read to the review workflow judge as conflicting with Step 5.8's repeat-pass reruns: 6 of 10 local trials passed with the longer sentence and PR run 37248650879 failed on the shorter one. Main's "Post-expiry smoke rechecks are not-run." passed 10 of 10. qa (9/10), qa-only (10/10) and ship-managed-hook-refresh (10/10) were measured on the same tree. * v1.91.24.0: move off the slot #3036 claims	2026-10-05 01:29:54 +00:00

Garry Tan	74512c20a7	v1.91.15.0 v1.91.15.0: Opus 5.5 prompt cleanup, behavior-level skill tests, transcript consent (#3017) ... * fix(models): allowlist routing for model-pinned Claude families (W1) resolveModel lowercases input and strips one trailing [...] context marker. Opus 4.7, Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 5 keep their pinned overlay only for the bare ID, the bare ID plus an 8-digit date, and the bare ID plus -latest; any other suffix (point releases such as claude-sonnet-5-5, claude-opus-4-7-1) falls to the generic claude overlay. claude-opus-5-5 routes to claude explicitly (no new overlay, no new ALL_MODEL_NAMES entry). Fable keeps its prefix match while CLAUDE_FRONTIER_EVAL_MODEL is claude-fable-5-1, guarded by a test. Tests: one test/model-overlays.test.ts case per shape in the plan, plus the lowercase / [1m] marker / family-name cases and the Fable guard. * docs(CLAUDE.md): define when prompt bytes are a test contract (W7 prompt-byte rule) Adds the gstack-repo definition to the Testing section at normal volume: prompt bytes are a contract only when software reads them or a recorded eval shows the wording matters. Amends the test-value-bar line so 'prompt bytes' refers to that definition. scripts/resolvers/test-value.ts and docs/test-value-bar.md are unchanged. * fix(browse): sidebar tab hint names real tabs.json fields and how $B resolves (s11 H1, s11 M8, s11 M9) * fix(router): route telemetry uses the echoed SESSION_ID (s01 H1) $_SESSION_ID is never set in the router's bash block since bin/gstack-skill-start took over session bookkeeping, so every /gstack route event logged an empty session id. Use the literal SESSION_ID placeholder and tell the model to substitute the echoed value, matching the completion-status telemetry block. No W7a pins on the changed line. * docs(CLAUDE.md): correct stale test-infra facts (s01 H2, H3, H4, H5) H2: TREE_MUTATING is not empty; it still holds bootstrap-retention. H3: catalog ceiling is CATALOG_BUDGET_TOKEN_EQUIVALENTS (1,194), not 1,171. H4: detach timeouts point at package.json's --timeout values (gate is 49320s). H5: Writing Style lives in preamble/generate-writing-style.ts and the jargon list is Read at runtime, not baked at generation time. No W7a pins on the changed lines. * fix(preamble): drop the stale jargon-list count (s01 H6) The list has 77 terms, not 80+, and the model Reads the file anyway. No W7a pins on the changed text. * fix(overlay): claude.md dedicated-tools nudge stops naming tools the host may lack (s01 M1) The nudge named Glob and Grep, which some Claude hosts do not expose. It now names the host's dedicated file tools and its search tools when it has them, keeping the prefer-dedicated-tools behavior the claude-dedicated-tools-vs-bash overlay eval measures. Updates the prose comment at test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts:643 (comment only, no assertion change). The matching comment in test/fixtures/overlay-nudges.ts is left to its owner. * fix(preamble): progress notes on phase changes, not a [PROGRESS] cadence (s01 M2) Context Health told the model to periodically write a tagged [PROGRESS] summary. No code reads that tag; the line now says when to tell the user (finishing a phase or changing direction). Loop detection stays. W7a pin: test/terse-build.test.ts:103 pinned 'PROGRESS'; it now checks the default build emits a non-empty Context Health body (terse still emits ''). * fix(preamble): learnings review without incident archaeology (s01 M3) Drops the issue number, the 43-of-44 statistic and the ALWAYS caps from the Operational Self-Improvement step; keeps the rule that the review runs every time and that an empty result is stated explicitly. No W7a pins on the removed text. * docs(CLAUDE.md): fold 'Long-running tasks' into the detach section (s01 M4, CEO W4) The 'don't give up' section told agents to poll a plain background task with sleep 180 + TaskOutput, which the next section forbids for evals. Its one durable rule (keep checking until the run finishes, report progress at each check) now lives in the detach section's poll step, pointed at the gstack-detach EXIT sentinel, at normal volume. No tests pin the removed text. * fix(preamble): test-failure triage questions defer to the AskUserQuestion Format (s01 M5) The two quoted pseudo-briefs pinned a superseded question shape (RECOMMENDATION: Choose X, a completeness score on the recommendation, no D<N>/ELI10/Net). The triage step now gives the facts, the options with their completeness values, and the recommended option as data, and defers the shape to the Format section. Option labels that Step T4 and test/skill-validation.test.ts:2004-2016 depend on are verbatim. No W7a pins on the removed text. * fix(proactive): PROACTIVE=false means no suggestions, including 'want me to run /X?' (W5.1) The router forbade suggesting skills when PROACTIVE is false while the preamble told the model to ask 'want me to run it?'. Decision: false means never auto-invoke and never suggest, including by asking. The preamble line in generate-upgrade-check.ts now matches the router, and both quote the value as `false`, the way gstack-skill-start prints it. Restore with gstack-config set proactive true. W7a pin: test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts:4488 used the old quoted sentence as a preamble-order marker; it now finds the PROACTIVE-false rule with a quote-tolerant, case-insensitive pattern. * docs(ETHOS.md): correct the claim that ETHOS is injected into every preamble (W5.7) Nothing injects ETHOS.md. Preambles carry condensed principles (completeness, voice, search before building) and the Search Before Building section links to this file. Edit approved by Garry for this PR. * office-hours: fix stale refs, state-root path, profile query, SESSION_ID (s07 H1, H2, H3, M7, M10; s01 H1 office-hours note) - Phase 4.5 points at Founder Resources instead of the nonexistent Beat 3.5 (H1). - builder-journey.md is written to $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT, where it is opened (H2). - builder-profile context query reads developer-profile.json, the file the migration leaves behind; drop meaningless tail (H3). - Drop issue numbers from three headings (M7) and the MANDATORY/NOT optional markers on Phase 4 (M10). - Handoff telemetry uses the echoed SESSION_ID placeholder; $_SESSION_ID is never set in a fresh shell. Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * spec: plain Phase 3 gate, drop duplicates, dead telemetry and review IDs (s07 H4, M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6) - H4: Standard template heading no longer names nonexistent --bug/--feature/--refactor flags. - M1: Phase 3 read-code-first gate at normal volume, constraint and reason kept. - M2: drop the in-phase repeat of the read-first rule (Rules recap stays). - M3: drop the duplicate audit-sink paragraph. - M4: drop TTHW telemetry block and its never-set frontmatter keys. - M5/M6: drop plan-review finding IDs from Phase 5 headings and the /ship handoff. W7a pins: spec-template-invariants:314 (Mandatory/MUST) becomes a Phase 3 section check for the read-evidence-before-asking constraint; :203 matches 'raw spec must not be persisted' across line wraps so no duplicate paragraph is needed to satisfy it. Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * investigate: drop issue numbers from freeze-script comment (s07 M8) Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * qa: replace WTF point table with named signals and a plain stop rule (s07 M9) The self-regulation check keeps its cadence (every 5 fixes or after a revert), its signals (reverts, unrelated files, sprawl, long runs, low-severity tail), STOP-and-ask, and the 50-fix hard cap. The percentage table goes; the stop threshold (two reverts, or one unrelated-file edit) stops at least as early. W7a pins: qa-browser-preservation:220 drops 'WTF > 20%' and checks the signals case-insensitively; skill-validation:1250 checks the test-only exclusion rule instead of the heading name; carve-guards qa anchor 'WTF-LIKELIHOOD' becomes the '### 8f. Self-Regulation' heading. Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * design-html: match Pretext docs to the vendored bundle; fix cross-block server state (s08 H1, H2, H3, H4, H7, M6) - H1-H3: walkLineRanges, layoutNextLine and layoutWithLines signatures and return shapes now match design-html/vendor/pretext.js; patterns 2-4 rewritten. - H4: inline the ES-module bundle in <script type="module"> with page code in the same module; no window.Pretext global exists. - H7: remember the printed server URL and PID; later blocks restate them. - M6: drop the 2-3 line cap on the refinement summary. Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * make-pdf: drop nonexistent --no-syntax flag, trigger list and relative phrasing (s08 H5, M7, M9) Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * design-shotgun: DESIGN.md decides what variants vary; fix $SLUG; drop history (s08 H6, M1, M2, M3; W5.6) - H6: the office-hours lookup block evals gstack-slug before using $SLUG. - M1 + W5.6: with a DESIGN.md, variants keep its fonts and palette and vary layout and composition; without one they vary font, palette and layout. The swap-the-headline test and the 'Anti-convergence directive' heading (carve-guards anchor) stay. - M2: drop the Claude Code version pin; run_in_background: false and its reason stay. - M3: /tmp-then-cp rule and reason without the incident story. G1 (replace executor subagents) deferred to TODOS.md per plan. Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * design-review: plain identity line; scope 'never read source' to the audit (s08 M4, M10) M5 (risk-percentage stop conditions) is a UC2 gate and keeps its wording. Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * design-consultation: plain CLAUDE.md design-system snippet with its reason (s08 M8) Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * plan-tune: describe the never-ask hook truthfully; drop plan codes (s09 H8, H9, H10, M10; W4 plan-tune) W4: make the text true rather than change the hook. The consent copy and scope now say never-ask questions are auto-decided with gstack's recommendation by the question-preference hook (one-way doors still ask), and the profile itself never changes defaults. H10 removes the nonexistent --dismiss command. M10 strips cathedral/Layer/D-codes and keeps mechanisms. Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * context-save/restore: drop rename history; fix command-list branch rule (s09 H11, M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6) Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * retro: correct what the skill writes; drop word cap and archaeology (s09 H13, M7, M8, M9, M25) H13 and M7 touch neighbouring lines and were merged by hand in that order. Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * health: compute the composite in code; fix example weights; drop D6 codes (s09 H12, M21, M22) Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * gstack-upgrade: drop issue numbers and version history, keep rationale (s09 M20) Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * canary: replace the 30-second/don't-over-analyze rule with the goal (s09 M23) Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * benchmark: self-contained page discovery instead of a /canary reference (s09 M24) Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * codex: drop judge vocabulary and the maintainer known-bad-list note (s10 M1, M2) The synthesis line keeps its Recommendation: <action> because <reason> shape. M16 (consult-mode embed rule) is a UC2 gate and keeps its wording; the outside-voice prompt bodies sent to Codex are unchanged. Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * document-generate: true redaction-fence behavior; drop thoroughness booster (s10 H8, M3) Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * document-release: changelog sell test as three questions, not a 0-3 score (s10 M6) The threshold stays (fewer than two answered = needs attention, not replacement). M4/M5 (NEVER CLOBBER / NEVER BUMP) keep their wording; the integrator owns the eval-gated rewrite. W7a pin: workflow-excerpt:170 'Entries scoring <2 need attention, not replacement' becomes a case-insensitive check that weak entries get attention, not replacement. Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * ios-clean/fix/sync: match the generator's real header, package shape and regen command (s10 H2, H3, H4, H5, M9, M12) - H2: inventory greps the header the generator actually writes. - H4/H5: remove the local .package(path:) entry and DebugBridge* product deps; delete the generated DebugBridge/ and DebugBridgeGenerated/ dirs so the Phase 3 check can pass. - H3: regenerate accessors with /ios-sync (gstack-ios-qa-regen). - M12: ios-fix writes the regression with the project's own test runner. - M9: drop migration-relative sentence. ios-qa DEMO MODE (M8) is a UC2 gate and keeps its wording. Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * setup-deploy: drop User-invocable boilerplate; say default branch, not main (s10 M10, M11) Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * skillify: test staged skills directly; stop after Aside scrapes; drop roadmap notes (s10 H1, H6, H7, M14, M15) Template-only commit: generated SKILL.md is expected red until the regeneration commit. * W4: transcript ingest needs affirmative consent (recent|all) normalizeTranscriptConsent() in gstack-memory-ingest reads transcript_ingest_mode once per process. Only recent (90 days) and all (all history) are consent; an absent key, off, legacy gate letters, incremental and unknown values skip transcripts while other memory still syncs. The ingest's default source set drops transcript without consent; an explicit --sources list naming transcript overrides. gstack-gbrain-sync reads consent once at sync start and pins a non-consented run to an explicit source list, so a mid-run config change cannot add transcripts. It prints the pinned skip notice on every such run (even --quiet), records the normalized mode and skip reason in the memory stage, restages an interrupted import when the consent policy changed, passes --all-history on --full for mode all, and documents the default in --help. Tests: new gstack-gbrain-sync-transcript-mode.test.ts; memory-ingest fixtures seed consent; regression-2922's every-type case seeds consent. Findings: s09 H16 (enforce the consent choice in code). * W4: gstack-brain-sync holds staged transcript pages without consent Queued transcripts/ pages stay queued and on disk unless transcript_ingest_mode is recent or all; other classes still push. Test: brain-sync.test.ts push-filter case (absent, off, legacy A, then recent). * W4: gstack-config validates transcript_ingest_mode; set rejects empty and multi-line values transcript_ingest_mode accepts only recent|all|off and leaves the stored value unchanged otherwise. set rejects an empty value or one containing a newline for every key instead of truncating it. The config header documents the key; lookup_default keeps off. * setup-gbrain, sync-gbrain: fix stale facts and strip plan archaeology Applies s09 H1a, H1c (Mac-only wording; the installer supports Linux and Windows), H2 (smoke test has no delete step), H3 (five invocation modes), H4 (no CI grep test backs the telemetry claim), H7 (Step 4.5 does not exist; the prompt is Path 4 step 4d), M11, M12, M13, M15, M18, M19 (plan codes, issue numbers, version pins, rename story), M14 (restore-from-sync never shipped), M16 (draft self-dialogue in the Supabase steps), M17 (passed sunset date, manual merge into both sections). W7a: retires the setup-gbrain-bin-invocation-paths 'now persists staged transcripts' change-detector (t06 #17); the no-bare-invocation regex tests keep the contract. * W4: transcript consent prose in /setup-gbrain, /sync-gbrain and memory.md The Step 7.5 gate is rewritten as a consent question (manual merge of s09 H5, with H1b and H6): it checks gstack-config has, asks once with A) recent, B) all history, E) never, names Claude Code and Codex sessions from every repo-policy-allowed project and the destination brain, stores the mode value (never the letter), asks yes/no when no transcripts exist, never asks spawned or headless sessions, and drops the silent no-question bulk paths and the false skill-start-hook claim (s09 H5c). Path 4 no longer stores off on the user's behalf. /sync-gbrain gains Step 1.6 (ask when the key is absent or holds a legacy value). Step 10 and the sync verdict show the mode. setup-gbrain/memory.md gains #transcripts (values, sources, destination, override precedence, one-time restage, held staged pages, already-ingested pages stay). W7a: setup-gbrain-bin-invocation-paths drops the silent-bulk and preamble-hook pins (that prose is gone) for negative checks (no pre-answer --bulk, no skill-start claim), loosens the gstack-config pin (t06 #18) to the command without <choice>, and adds the DX 'gated on has' order check for both skills. * W5.2: /sync-gbrain is the only writer of the CLAUDE.md search-guidance block setup-gbrain's claude-md-persist section stops writing its own '## GBrain Search Guidance' block, which also removes the false 'auto-syncs on every gstack skill start' text (s09 H15; s09 H14 decided). Step 10 offers to run /sync-gbrain now and names it otherwise. Test sweep: only skill-e2e-sync-gbrain-readiness references the heading, and it checks the block /sync-gbrain writes, so no test changes. * E4: config-key reader tripwire in gstack-config-defaults.test.ts Every key in bin/gstack-config's DEFAULTS table must be read by code (gstack-config get/has <key>, a config-binary variable, a spawn argv, a config-reader call, or an anchored ^key: pattern in bin/, lib/, scripts/, setup or any .tmpl; wildcard keys by prefix) or appear in PROSE_ONLY_KEYS with a reason. Run on the current tree first: every key has a reader, so the seeded prose-only list is empty. Failure messages name the two fixes. A synthetic-tree case checks each reader form and that docs prose does not count. setup is scanned because timeline_stop_hook is read only there. * W4: /open-gstack-browser asks before replacing a live browse daemon Step 0 probes with BROWSE_NO_AUTOSTART=1 $B status (no daemon is booted by the probe). No live daemon: clear Chromium profile locks and run plain $B connect, which reaps orphans and refuses to replace a busy daemon. Already headed: connect reports it. Live headless daemon: AskUserQuestion, and only an explicit yes runs $B connect --force-restart; spawned or headless sessions leave it running and print the stop line with the resolved browse binary. The hand-rolled kill / kill -9 of the recorded PID and the browse.json deletion are gone. Supersedes s10 M13. Tests: new open-gstack-browser-liveness.test.ts (no kill of the recorded PID, status probe before connect, --force-restart only after the yes branch, profile-lock cleanup kept, spawned/headless stop line). The state-extraction tripwire now covers only the port snippet, since the pid snippet is gone. * fix(browse): untrusted-content warnings name both marker formats (s02 H5, s02 L2 / W7f) The /browse warning named only the --- UNTRUSTED EXTERNAL CONTENT --- envelope and the browser fallback only the ═══ UNTRUSTED WEB CONTENT ═══ one; $B prints both (commands.ts wrapUntrustedContent, content-security.ts ENVELOPE_BEGIN). Both surfaces now name both formats. W7f pin: test/aside-driver.test.ts:347-350 no longer bans the EXTERNAL marker; it reads both marker labels from browse/src/commands.ts and browse/src/content-security.ts and requires both in the fallback and warning. Negative control: reverting browse.ts turns the test red. Parity cap (test/helpers/carve-guards.ts): qa maxSizeRatio 1.103 -> 1.104 (measured 1.1035); the second marker adds bytes to every skill that renders the browser fallback. expected red until the regeneration commit (generated SKILL.md not committed) * fix(design): mockup board loop matches the daemon CLI (s02 H1, s02 H2, s02 H3) - H1: $D compare --serve publishes to the design daemon and exits; read BOARD_URL from stderr, wait with AskUserQuestion, then read feedback.json / feedback-pending.json. The fallback no longer names a $D serve command the step never runs. - H2: the reload POST uses the jq --arg form, so $_DESIGN_DIR expands (the single-quoted JSON sent the literal variable name). - H3: Content & Microcopy lists 11 items, not 8. No test pins the removed text. expected red until the regeneration commit * design: name the defaults to avoid in native design-direction prompts; plain path rule (s02 H4a, s02 H4b, s02 M9) - H4a/H4b: the design-consultation and design-sketch native subagent prompts now name the default looks to avoid (the three looks from the Hard Rules calibration plus the catalog entries the sibling outside-voice prompt already lists) and say to pick again if the first idea is one of them. - M9: 'CRITICAL PATH RULE' -> 'Path rule'; the rule and its reason stay. No test pins the changed text. Parity cap (test/helpers/carve-guards.ts): design-consultation maxSizeRatio 1.085 -> 1.092 (measured 1.0911). expected red until the regeneration commit * fix(outside-voice): preflight mode list no longer looks exhaustive (s02 M10) The preflight also prints under_codex and under_current_harness; not_authed exists only on the Codex path. 'every other mode skips them' covers all non-ready modes. No test pins the old line. expected red until the regeneration commit * outside-voice: drop booster sentences and plan-review decision IDs (s02 M1, s02 M7) - M1: native adversarial subagent prompt drops 'Be adversarial. Be thorough.'; the attacker framing, defect list and 'No compliments' output rule stay. - M7: doc-review headings drop the D3 / T3B plan-review decision IDs (D<N> also collides with AskUserQuestion brief numbering). Not changed: s02 M2 (outside adversarial prompt body sent to Codex/GPT: out of scope per plan) and s02 M3 (CODEX_BOUNDARY: UC2 gate keeps its wording). No test pins the removed text. expected red until the regeneration commit * confidence: drop issue IDs and the contributor-only design-doc pointer (s02 M4a, s02 M4b) - M4a: gate heading and FP-class intro lose '#1539' and the Django sprint measurement note; the gate rule and its four FP classes stay. - M4b: remove the pointer to ~/.gstack-dev/plans/1539-framework-aware-review.md, a contributor-local file that never exists where /plan-eng-review and /ship run. W7a pins (test/regression-1539-review-self-verify.test.ts): - :34 toMatch(/#1539/) removed (cosmetic issue-number pin; the gate-header check stays). - :64-67 'references the deferred design doc' replaced by a structural check that no .gstack-dev/plans/ path reaches the emitted prose. expected red until the regeneration commit * question-tuning: state why the summary is piped instead of citing #2024 (s02 M6) No test pins the resolver text (#2024 appears only in test names/comments). expected red until the regeneration commit * fix(testing): shared TEST_BOOTSTRAP undoes only owned changes (s03 H1, s03 H2, s03 H3, s03 M1) The shared {{TEST_BOOTSTRAP}} (/ship, /design-review) still told the agent to 'git checkout -- package.json package-lock.json', to 'revert all bootstrap changes', to 'delete silently' a failing first test, and to stage 'all bootstrap files'. The QA copy (qa/sections/test-bootstrap.md.tmpl) already says undo only owned changes, never blanket-checkout, never silently delete a valid red regression, and stop on unrelated staged edits. The shared copy now matches it. This removes destructive behavior (UC2: lands regardless of eval). W7g: test/qa-browser-preservation.test.ts gains a check that the shared copy (ship, design-review) has no 'git checkout --', no silent deletion, no blanket revert, and keeps the owned-change and staged-edits rules (case-insensitive). Negative control: the old testing.ts turns it red. Parity cap (test/helpers/carve-guards.ts): ship maxSizeRatio 1.404 -> 1.405 (measured 1.4044 at the branch tip, with the s03 M2/M3 wording). expected red until the regeneration commit * testing: coverage trace and test generation follow the value bar (s03 M2, s03 M3) - M2: 'Every branch in this diagram needs a test' / 'Each step in the journey needs a test' contradicted COVERAGE_GOAL ('Test count is not a goal') in the same rendered audit. Branches and journey steps now need coverage that would catch a regression; the value bar decides new test vs extension vs covered. - M3: 'Mock all external dependencies' -> the smallest native test, mocking only services unrelated to the behavior (matches the QA handoff in qa.ts and the audit's own E2E routing). No test pins the removed text. expected red until the regeneration commit * plan-gates: per-item confirmation states its reason, not an incident ID (s03 M4) 'VAS-449' meant nothing to the model and reached the user in the >5-items warning. The rule now gives the reason (a blanket confirmation lets the user click through without opening any file / lets unchecked items pass as verified). The per-item confirmation rule is unchanged. W7a pin: test/ship-plan-completion-invariants.test.ts:122 toMatch(/VAS-449/) removed (cosmetic incident-ID pin); the per-item rule and blanket-confirm ban checks on the same test stay. expected red until the regeneration commit * plan-gates, review-dashboard: terminal-report rules without trait claims or 'prior versions' narrative (s03 M5, s03 M7) - M5: exit gate drops 'will (correctly) reject it' and the 'Self-deception failure mode' aside; keeps the contract-violation sentence (pinned by test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts) and the body-prose-is-not-the-report rule. - M7: report-write step states the rule and its reason (delete and append at EOF so the report stays last) instead of the history of how it broke. No test pins the removed text. expected red until the regeneration commit * spec-review: default anti-shortcut clause without incident narrative (s03 M6) Drops 'the May 2026 transcript bug ... that's the bug, recognize it' and the caps; keeps the rule: each non-trivial finding goes through AskUserQuestion before it enters the plan, and only a zero-finding review skips asking. The four skill-specific branches are unchanged. W7a pin: test/skill-ceo-section-ordering.test.ts:868-873 pinned the SHA-256 of the default clause. It now checks, on every host, that the clause still says the plan cannot replace the interactive review, routes findings through AskUserQuestion, and lets only zero findings reach ExitPlanMode without asking (case-insensitive), and that the clause is host-independent. The old clause also passes; deleting the zero-findings rule turns it red. The DX hash pin is unchanged. expected red until the regeneration commit * constants: foreground-dispatch note in current-state terms at normal volume (s03 M8) Keeps every constraint (explicit run_in_background: false, Agent tool only, never inline or as a Skill, fallback only after a dispatched subagent fails) and the reason (fresh-context isolation); drops 'no longer', BACKGROUND/ONLY/ WRONG/FALLBACK caps. test/ship-control-flow.test.ts and run-in-background-guidance.test.ts check the placeholder and the explicit flag, not this prose. expected red until the regeneration commit * tasks-section: inline the effort ratios for every phase (s03 M9) The non-CEO/Eng branch said 'Effort uses the AI-compression table from CLAUDE.md', but at runtime CLAUDE.md is the user's project file; the table exists only in gstack's own repo. Every phase now renders the inline ratios the CEO/Eng branch already used. No test pins the removed text. expected red until the regeneration commit * hosts, utility: model-neutral Claude co-author trailer (s03 M10, s11 M10) The Claude host trailer and the resolver fallback (cursor, kiro, opencode, slate) signed commits as 'Claude Opus 4.7' whatever model ran. Both now read 'Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>' so the trailer cannot go stale at the next model release (the s11 report offered this neutral form; s03 M10's hunk uses it). document-release's release body renders the same {{CO_AUTHOR_TRAILER}} and follows on regeneration. test/host-config.test.ts:589 only requires 'Claude' and stays green. Goldens move on regeneration (not committed). expected red until the regeneration commit * changelog workflow: cross-check covers user-facing changes, not every commit (s03 M11) 'Every commit must map to at least one bullet' contradicted the same block's voice rule (never mention contributor-facing details) and CLAUDE.md's entry rule (the diff vs main, not how the branch got there). Every user-facing change in the commit list must be represented; merges, version bumps and mid-branch fixes need no bullet. W7a pin: test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts:2038 no longer pins the old sentence; it checks the Cross-check step still compares against the step-2 commit list and scopes to user-facing changes (case-insensitive), without re-pinning the new sentence. expected red until the regeneration commit * plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review: storage paths follow the state root (s04 F2, s04 F3) The CEO storage policy and the eng write policy named ~/.gstack/projects/ and ~/.gstack/analytics/, while the writers (tasks-section.ts, testing.ts, spec-review.ts) use $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT. When the state root is relocated the prose pointed at the wrong directory. W7a pin: test/plan-review-cases.test.ts:852 pinned the stale path; it now checks the discovery path is under $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT and that the hardcoded ~/.gstack/projects/{slug}/ is gone. expected red until the regeneration commit * plan-ceo-review: remove the handoff-note reader and cleanup for files nothing writes (s04 F6, s04 F7) CEO handoff notes (*-ceo-handoff-*.md) have not been written since v0.11.5.1; no template, resolver or bin script produces them. The reader cost a bash call on every CEO run, depended on $SLUG/$BRANCH from another shell, and looked under $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT where pre-state-root notes never lived. W7a pin: test/skill-ceo-section-ordering.test.ts:320 sliced up to the removed '## Handoff Note Cleanup' heading; it now slices to the next heading ('## Review Log') with the same assertions. Note: the ceo-mode-option / ceo-mode-prerequisite PTY cases fail under the image's Bun 1.3.14 with or without this change and pass under Bun 1.4.0. expected red until the regeneration commit * plan reviews: replace context-pressure triage with the full-completion rule (s04 F1; manual merge of s05 M2) plan-ceo-review, plan-design-review and plan-devex-review ranked sections 'under context pressure' ending in 'Everything else', which licensed dropping sections their own anti-skip rules require. plan-eng-review already replaced the same block with 'Complete every required stage ... do not preemptively warn'. All three now use that rule and name what may never be shortened (design: Step 0, Step 0.5 mockups unless the user opted out, Passes 1-7; devex: Step 0 with persona/empathy/benchmark/magical moment/TTHW, Passes 1-8). s04 F1 noted the same block in the s05 files; the design copy is a manual merge of s05 M2 (drops 'non-negotiable', which contradicted the user's explicit 'skip mockups' opt-out). No test pins the removed text. expected red until the regeneration commit * plan-ceo-review: shared-code guidance matches the eng review (s04 F4, s04 F5) 'DRY: flag repetition aggressively' and 'DRY violations. Be aggressive.' contradicted plan-eng-review's newer rule (require common behavior and improved reliability or net savings; similar-looking code alone is insufficient), so the two reviews gave the same plan opposite advice. Both CEO lines now follow the eng rule; Section 5 keeps the file:line citation. No test pins the removed text. expected red until the regeneration commit * plan reviews: normal-volume rules; eng sections report every finding (s04 F8, s04 F10, s04 F11) - F8: eng 'at most 8 findings' per section conflicted with 'never condense or skip' and left a 9th high-confidence finding nowhere to go; report every main-report finding, most severe first (confidence calibration still suppresses low-confidence ones). - F10: drop 'It is not optional.' (the anti-skip rule already covers Section 2). - F11: 'ALWAYS a smell' -> 'a smell'. No test pins the removed text. Two eng PTY cases fail under Bun 1.3.14 and pass under Bun 1.4.0 (CI pin). expected red until the regeneration commit * plan reviews: '## CRITICAL RULE — How to ask questions' -> '## How to ask questions' (s04 F9, s05 L3) The bodies are plain procedure; the caps label added nothing and competed with the CRITICAL GAP output label. Applied in plan-ceo-review, plan-design-review and plan-devex-review sections (s05 L3 promoted by the plan). W7a: test/devex-finding-fixture.test.ts:83-84 now finds the section by a heading regex ending in 'How to ask questions'; the skill-e2e-plan-ceo-plan-mode failure diagnosis names the new heading. Judge anchors NOT changed here (builder E moves them to structural anchors): skill-ceo-section-ordering.test.ts (old :938), workflow-excerpt.test.ts:109,296, skill-llm-eval.test.ts:638, workflow-judge-input.test.ts:366,373; the mirror in touchfiles.test.ts:219 also uses '## CRITICAL RULE'. These stay red until E's anchor commit lands. expected red until the regeneration commit * autoplan: phase drivers match the loaded review skills (s05 H1, s05 H2, s05 H3, s05 H4, s05 H5, s05 M5) - H1/H2: the skip list names the current headings ('Step 0: Detect platform and base branch', 'Design Outside Voices (independent)'); the old names never matched, risking a duplicate base-branch detection or outside-voice pass. - H3: the DX journey map is the 6-stage table from Step 0F, not 9 stages. - H4: the DX checklist names Step 0 'DX Investigation' and scores only after the evidence exists, as plan-devex-review requires. - H5 (manual merge): the eng test-plan artifact uses the eng skill's {user}-{branch}-eng-review-test-plan-{datetime}.md name under $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/projects/$SLUG (consistent with s04 F3). - M5: the Decision Audit Trail separator has 7 columns to match its header. No test pins the removed text. Three autoplan PTY cases fail under Bun 1.3.14 and pass under Bun 1.4.0. expected red until the regeneration commit * plan-design-review: scope gate runs Step 0 before mockups (W5.4, s05 H6) The scope gate said 'audit → mockups → Step 0' while the body runs Step 0 (0A-0D) first and 0D announces 'I'll generate visual mockups next'. Per the W5.4 decision, the three gate phrases now read audit → Step 0 → Step 0.5 mockups. 'Reply with A, B, or C' is unchanged. W7a pins: - test/plan-scope-selection.test.ts:616 pinned the old order sentence; it now checks the order of the 'After resolution:' steps (preamble, base branch, audit, Step 0, mockups). Negative control: the old order turns it red. - test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts:4737 normalizer strips the design-only 'Then run the pre-review audit, ... against that plan.' sentence by pattern. expected red until the regeneration commit * plan-design-review: mockup default and retrospective at normal volume (s05 M1, s05 M3, s05 M4) - M1: 'YOUR PRIMARY TOOL' / 'The rule is simple ... Don't ask permission ... Mockups ARE the plan' -> generate mockups without asking when the plan has UI and the designer is available, with the reason; skip only under the Step 0.5 conditions (which include the user's opt-out). - M3: 'be MORE aggressive' on previously flagged areas -> check whether the earlier issue recurs or was only partly fixed and say so. - M4: drop the unverifiable 'Tier 2+ (15+ RPM)' rate-tier aside; keep the one-at-a-time rule and the /design-shotgun pointer. (s05 M2 landed with s04 F1.) No test pins the removed text; the remaining failing case is the plan-scope-selection PTY case that fails under Bun 1.3.14 and passes under Bun 1.4.0. expected red until the regeneration commit * plan-devex-review: DX TRIAGE keeps every pass and reports blockers only (W5.5, s05 H7) The Mode Quick Reference let TRIAGE skip the benchmark, the magical moment and passes 2/4-8, contradicting the anti-skip rule, the 0C target gate and the 'executed all 8 DX passes' self-check. Per the W5.5 decision the TRIAGE cells now read 'Target only' / 'Verify exists' / 'All 8, blockers only', matching the Rating Method's 'flag adoption blockers; skip nice-to-haves'. No test pins the removed cells. expected red until the regeneration commit * ship, review, land-and-deploy, landing-report: fix stale cross-references (s06 H1, s06 H2, s06 H3, s06 H4, s06 H5, s06 H8, s06 M6) - H1: TODOS-format cites /ship Step 14, not 5.5. - H2: the land readiness review is the checklist /ship applies in Step 9 (there is no Step 3.5). - H3: the Apple adapter names the no-credential-talk rule by location instead of 'line 14' (it renders at line 16). - H4: greptile triage diffs against origin/<base> from the caller's detected base, not origin/main. - H5: the land Important Rules recap matches the steps (4-minute CI rounds in Step 3; 30 seconds for merge readback and deploy status). - H8: landing-report calls the util once per bump level (four), and drops the unsupported 'cached by bun' claim. - M6: landing-report says what its base detection does instead of claiming it matches other skills. No test pins the removed text. expected red until the regeneration commit * fix(land-and-deploy): readiness gate uses the project's test command and the live eval store (s06 H6, s06 H7) - H6 (manual merge): TEST_COMMAND comes from CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md; if neither documents one, ask the user instead of defaulting to 'bun test' (wrong for non-Bun projects and a bare suite run in gstack). The audit hunk's 'persist the answer to CLAUDE.md' write is not adopted: it adds a write the readiness gate never had. - H7: E2E and judge results are searched in the eval store the collector writes (~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/evals/ and its shards/*/ directories), then the legacy ~/.gstack-dev/evals/ fallback; the gate no longer reports 'no E2E tests run today' when results exist. test/state-root-ratchet.allowlist.json: allowlist the EVAL_DIR line with its reason (test/helpers/eval-store.ts writes under os.homedir()/.gstack, so the reader must use the same path, not $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT). Parity cap (test/helpers/carve-guards.ts): land-and-deploy maxSizeRatio 1.10 -> 1.108 (measured 1.1076 at the branch tip, including the W7f marker). expected red until the regeneration commit * ship: Step 9 Pass 1 defers to the checklist's critical categories (W5.3, s06 H9) /ship restated the checklist's Pass 1 as two of its five CRITICAL categories (missing Race Conditions, Shell Injection, Enum Completeness). Per the W5.3 decision it now names 'the checklist's Pass 1 categories', matching /review. No test pins the removed text. expected red until the regeneration commit * land-and-deploy: host-neutral post-merge branch example (s06 M5) The squash-merge cleanup example created 'codex/post-merge-pr-N' branches on every host. The example is now 'post-merge/pr-N', naming Codex Desktop's codex/ prefix as the host-specific case and keeping the detached-HEAD reason and the no-force-push rule. No test pins the removed text. expected red until the regeneration commit * ship: drop issue/incident IDs and the 'continue silently' suppressor (s06 M2, s06 M3, s06 M4, s06 M7) - M2/M3: '(#1946)' and '(#1079)' removed from the credential guard and REST fallback headings; the rules are unchanged. - M4: the audit-failure fallback states the reason (a skipped audit lets unverified plan items ship as done) instead of 'the failure shape that VAS-449 surfaced'. - M7: 'Continue silently — just note the counts briefly' -> report the pass counts in one line and continue to Step 6 (Step 16 cites these counts). Not changed: s06 M1, the Step 16 IRON LAW (UC2 gate keeps its wording). W7a pin: test/ship-plan-completion-invariants.test.ts:127 pinned the VAS-449 sentence; it now checks that the audit-failure fallback still forbids a silent fail-open (case-insensitive). Negative control: deleting that sentence turns it red. expected red until the regeneration commit * test: anchor plan-design excerpts on the question-procedure heading, not '## CRITICAL RULE' (W7a judge-anchor move; workflow-excerpt.test.ts:109,296) The end marker now accepts a RegExp. ASK_QUESTIONS_HEADING matches the heading with or without its 'CRITICAL RULE — ' prefix, so the excerpt is byte-identical on the current templates and survives the s04 F9 / s05 L3 rename. * test: plan-design judge-input case anchors on the question-procedure heading (W7a judge-anchor move; workflow-judge-input.test.ts:366,373) * test: plan-design workflow judge ends its slice at the question-procedure heading (W7a judge-anchor move; skill-llm-eval.test.ts:638) Judge input is byte-identical on the current templates; judge prompts and schemas are unchanged. * test: CEO governing-stage order anchors on the question-procedure heading (W7a judge-anchor move; skill-ceo-section-ordering.test.ts:938) * test: dedicated-tools overlay gates on correct output plus 20% fewer Bash calls (Eng W7 overlay predicate; replaces overlay-nudges.ts:213 taskCorrect) Every ON trial must pass the fixture's verify (already a valid-measurement requirement) and lowerIsBetter20Pct must hold; when the OFF median is 0, every ON trial must also be 0. assessOverlayArms enforces both through a new fixture.gate. Overlay contract bumps to v3 so v2 records are never reinterpreted. overlay-measurement gains rows for correct+worse (fails), 20%+incorrect (fails) and the zero baseline (passes only at 0). The prose comment follows the s01 M1 claude.md wording. * test: document-release E2E stops coaching the rules it measures (W7b; UC2 gate eval for NEVER CLOBBER / NEVER BUMP) Drops the IMPORTANT block at skill-e2e-workflow.test.ts:76-83, including 'auto-approve everything' and the CHANGELOG/VERSION instructions; keeps only the environment facts (non-interactive, no remote). Asserts the outcome: the original CHANGELOG entries remain, VERSION still reads 1.1.1, no commit after the fixture head touches VERSION, and README mentions Feature C. * test: routing E2E uses the routing instruction gstack ships (W7b routing fixture; skill-routing-e2e.test.ts:113) readShippedSkillRouting() parses the '## Skill routing' section from the routing-injection heredoc in bin/gstack-skill-start at test time. The journey fixture now carries that instruction instead of 'ALWAYS invoke … FIRST action. Do NOT answer directly', and still withholds the per-skill rule list so a regressed description can fail. bin/gstack-skill-start and the helper join the journey, context-skills and skillify touchfiles. A free check catches heredoc drift. Runs on unchanged templates set the new baseline. * test: context-skills E2E routes with the shipped ## Skill routing section (W7b routing fixture) Replaces the shouted 'ALWAYS invoke it … FIRST action' fixture and its hand-written context-save/restore rules with the section gstack appends to CLAUDE.md, which already routes save/resume to those skills. * test: skillify E2E stops scripting the skill and routes with the shipped section (W7b skillify prompt + routing fixture; W7d skillify narration ban) - CLAUDE.md fixture: the shipped ## Skill routing section replaces 'ALWAYS invoke it via the Skill tool as your FIRST action' and its hand-written rules. - scrape-match-path: prompt is 'Run /scrape latest hacker news stories'; the 'You MUST follow … 1. Run skill list … Do NOT enter the prototype phase' script is gone. Asserts the outcome: the bundled skill ran, no goto prototyping, no new skill or skillify staging written. Listing is logged. - scrape-prototype-path: drops the five-step script and the self-fulfilling 'Suggest /skillify'; keeps the user's JSON shape request. - skillify-provenance-refusal: prompt no longer dictates the refusal. - Narration grader moves to helpers/skill-body-narration.ts: line-start 'I '/'I'll '/'Let me ' plus mid-sentence 'let me <verb>', so 'let me know' is legal. Stored known-good/known-bad bodies show it still rejects every known-bad case the old /Let me /i ban caught. * test: land-and-deploy E2Es state environment facts instead of scripting the skill (W7b deploy prompts) The workflow, first-run and review-gate prompts drop the 'IMPORTANT … simulate: 1. Detect … 2. Infer … 3. Note …' scripts and the answers they supplied (platform, app, URL, merge method, 'Eng Review should be NOT RUN'). They keep the facts the fixture cannot provide (no remote, no PR, gh/fly unavailable, gstack-review-read output, report directory). Assertions now check the outcome: the artifacts name Fly and test-app, and the readiness report records the missing review. Canary, benchmark and setup-deploy prompts are unchanged. * test: ship triage asserts each failure's in-branch/pre-existing label (W7b ship triage) The old check passed if the words 'in-branch', 'pre-existing', 'math' and 'string' appeared anywhere in the final message, in any pairing. The prompt now asks for a closing JSON map; helpers/ship-triage-labels.ts reads it (or unambiguous per-failure lines) and the test requires truncate/string -> in-branch and divide/math -> pre-existing, plus a Bash call that ran the suite. Stored outputs show swapped, words-only and one-label runs fail. Drops the untyped recordE2E extras (typecheck baseline shrinks by one). * test: design-review-fix asserts a fixed design issue, not only the Aside ritual (W7b design-review-fix) Keeps the engine-routing checks (Aside driven, retired binary unused) and adds the outcome: design-audit.md exists, names a seeded defect, and index.html or style.css differs from the initial fixture commit. The style(design) commit prefix is not required. This case still cannot gate the design-review stop-condition rewrite (it self-skips without Aside and caps fixes in its prompt), per the Eng item. * test: CEO HOLD preservation grader checks the decision, not its phrasing (W7d CEO mode-routing regex judge, ceo-mode-option.ts:410-440) Drops the exact 'Keep <x> in scope' / 'Defer <x> to TODOS' labels, the 'D<n> — Keep … in scope, or defer' title, the '<plan>.md lists' phrase and the 2-of-5 keyword quota. Keeps the evidence bindings (native answer, session, timestamps, source read, mode context, later withdrawal) and now requires: one keep option and one defer option, the answer selects keep, a word of the kept label names a listed plan requirement, no expansion language, and an ELI10 + Stakes rationale of at least 20 words (so a bare mode label still fails). Stored captures: both retained known-good runs pass; every existing known-bad mutation still fails; four rewordings the old grader rejected now pass; three new known-bad cases fail. The Net/Note single-brief checks (t02 #3) are unchanged: the 'second sentence after Net' row adds scope ('Also add shared views'), so it stays a known-bad. * test: docsync observer accepts harmless read wrappers (W7d docsync observer) docsCommandAllowed now unwraps, on read-only commands only (pwd, ls, cat, stat, sha256sum, Git reads): a leading 'cd <fixture repo> &&', '2>/dev/null', a trailing '|| true', '--no-pager', '-C <fixture repo>' and '-c' with core.pager=cat / core.quotepath / color.* settings. Lifecycle and script calls stay literal so their failures cannot be suppressed. Writes, other repos, --git-dir/--work-tree, config that can execute code, real composition and redirects stay rejected. Stored commands (fixtures/docsync-observer-commands.json): 11 known-good read forms, which the old observer rejected, now pass; all 17 known-bad forms still fail under the new and old observers. docsync-command-grammar moves its three harmless rows to an accept test and keeps unsafe variants of them as rejects. * test: AUQ matrix fails only on the format fields software reads (W7d AUQ matrix emoji check) auqMachineFormatProblems() fails a first-question run when the Recommendation: line is missing or empty, or when the brief does not label exactly one option (recommended); recommendation substance >= 4 is unchanged. ELI10, Pros / cons, ✅/❌ and Net: are still scored and logged but no longer fail a paid case. scoreAuqFormat and the consistency suite are unchanged. Stored briefs: three known-good (including one without emoji or Net) pass; four known-bad (no or empty Recommendation, zero or two (recommended)) fail. * test: coverage audit grades a closing tested/untested summary before the diagram grammar (W7d coverage-audit-evidence) The diagram grammar grew through four waves of capture patches to accept correct-but-different diagrams. The E2E prompt now asks for one closing JSON line {"tested": [...], "untested": [...]}; coverageAuditVerdict passes the outcome when processPayment is only in tested and refundPayment only in untested (last summary wins; quoted or example summaries ignored). The legacy grammar stays as a fallback, so every stored capture keeps its verdict (all existing rows unchanged). Read evidence and capture success are still required. Stored summaries: three known-good (which the old grader rejected) pass; seven known-bad fail. * test: disabled outside-plan grader reads the run's own coverage self-report (W7d disabled-plan-review-evidence) The false-completion oracle kept being patched to tell historical review-log mentions from current claims. The E2E prompt now asks for a closing JSON line {"outside_review_this_run": ...}. When present, the coverage claim is that report ('completed' fails) plus any undenied 'both reviewers agree'; 'disabled' also satisfies attribution. Runs without it keep the existing prose oracle, so all stored captures and mutation rows keep their verdicts. Dispatch, CLI execution, preflight and persisted-disabled checks are unchanged. Stored outputs: three known-good pass (the old grader rejected the table form); four known-bad fail. * test: investigate boundary grader checks the verified fix, not one Edit and one verify (W7d investigate exactly-one ritual) Completion now needs at least one allowed Edit, the correction in place, at least one verifier run whose final status is 0, and no edit after the final verification. The ending-error case still requires a single verifier run (status 69), because that fixture's error tells the actor to stop without retrying. Ownership acquisition/release checks are unchanged. New free protocol controls: a passing re-verification passes (the old grader failed it); a failing final re-verification and a retry after the ending error both fail, as they did before. * test: CEO split-overflow call floor is two, the minimum for five options at four per call (W7d split-overflow 4-call floor) The regression is a candidate silently dropped to fit the four-option cap. The scope validator already requires an offered Include/Defer/Cut disposition for all five candidates; the extra N-1 call floor failed agents that batch compatible candidates, which the test header calls legitimate. FLOOR now comes from CEO_SPLIT_CALL_FLOOR = 2. Stored shapes (ceo-split-floor.test.ts): five sequential, 2-call and 3-call batches pass; a dropped candidate fails with 'missing target decisions'. The registration controls keep their verdicts; the 3-call plan_ready scenario still fails, now on missing decisions. * test: shared-libs PR coverage checks the stated page budget, not per-PR ceilings from one run (W7d shared-libs per-endpoint page caps) prCoverageRequestViolations keeps the skill's stated older-open-PR budget (five metadata pages, fifty file-list pages plus recent PR 7) and the coverage outcome (PR 42's file list read from page 1 through page 2). It drops the PR 42 three/four-page and single-first-page ceilings, which were tuned to one observed capture with a truncated first view. The judge criteria are unchanged. Stored endpoint lists: three known-good (including a re-read first page the old ceilings rejected) pass; four known-bad plus an over-budget file-list run fail. incompleteFirstFileView is no longer used by the paid case. * test: test-value review accepts any caller search, not only the literal 'git grep' (W7d literal git grep in test-value) recordsNonTestCallerSearch keeps the value-card contract (non_test_callers recorded) and accepts git grep, rg, grep or the Grep tool as the search. Severity checks and the golden exclusion are unchanged. Stored evidence: four known-good (three the old check rejected) pass; three known-bad (no search, no caller count, prose only) fail. * test: plan-format accepts any statement that kind-differentiated options are not comparable on coverage (W7d 'options differ in kind' phrase) The outcome, no fabricated Completeness: N/10, stays asserted. The required note now matches any brief wording of the same fact (KIND_NOTE_RE in helpers/plan-format-kind-note.ts). The format-compliance suite that pins the declared kind-note string is unchanged. Stored lines: four known-good pass, three known-bad (a completeness score, a recommendation, 'kind to the user') fail. * test: plan-mode smokes check the targeted plan, not the scope-gate announcement, and reject plan-file ## Decisions (W7d exact scope-gate line; W7g plan-mode ## Decisions) - Seeded eng/design plan-mode cases keep 'no scope menu' and replace the exact 'Scope gate: plan mode — auto-selected B' requirement with seededPlanTargeted(): the announcement or native seeded-plan selection, or seed-only plan names appearing in the review output after the slash command (trackTokens). The announcement is logged. - The AskUserQuestion format forbids writing a decision to the plan file as a substitute for asking. assertNoPlanFileDecisions() fails any plan_ready run whose plan carries ## Decisions (eng, design, devex, office-hours auto-mode). The AUQ-blocked cases (eng seeded, devex, office-hours) now require outcome 'asked' (AskUserQuestion variant or prose fallback). - plan-mode-evidence registration controls keep their verdicts; the missing-decisions control now fails on 'without a question'. - plan-mode-targeting.test.ts stores known-good (announcement; paraphrase plus seed content) and known-bad (neither; an untracked token) observations and plan files with and without ## Decisions. * test: plan-design judge selection check anchors on the question-procedure heading (W7a judge-anchor move; touchfiles.test.ts:219) Same structural anchor as the other judge-anchor moves; selects the same text on the current templates and after the '## How to ask questions' rename. * test: CEO plan-mode failure message names the current rule, not the '## CRITICAL RULE' heading (t13 F20) * test: browse reference judge gates on its stated floors; the baseline comparison is recorded, not a ratchet (W7d browse judge baseline ratchet; t08 F7) expect(regressions).toEqual([]) compared a noisy three-sample mean against eval-baselines.json (clarity 4), silently raising the stated clarity floor of 3. The comparison stays in judge_reasoning; pass and assertions use BROWSE_JUDGE_FLOORS (clarity 3, completeness 4, actionability 4). Judge prompt and schema are unchanged. Stored panel means: three known-good (two the ratchet rejected) pass; three below-floor panels fail. * test: eval-kinds drops the exact 22 behavior / 25 judge census (W7d exact count in eval-kinds; t12 F6) The kind contract is already asserted: every live case has one kind, kinds are rule/behavior/judge, every LLM judge is judge-kind, every behavior case has a literal registration and a BEHAVIOR_WHY, and the named contract-shaped cases stay rule. The census count only broke on adding or retiring a case. * test: plan-eng artifact case binds to the hermetic state root and requires the artifact; report case drops its shouted requirement (W7g plan-artifact fixture binding; W7g skill-e2e-plan.test.ts:479,720) - plan-eng-review-artifact: actor, observer and cleanup use one isolated GSTACK_HOME (the hermetic run's, or a seeded temporary one when hermetic mode is off) and the slug gstack-slug resolves for the fixture, instead of os.homedir()/.gstack/projects/test-project. A guard refuses a state root under the real home, and cleanup removes only the fixture's project directory. The 'IMPORTANT … you MUST write the test-plan artifact' line is replaced by the environment fact (state root and slug). The soft warning becomes an assertion: exactly one new *eng-review-test-plan-*.md about the reviewed dashboard change. - plan-review-report: removes 'CRITICAL REQUIREMENT … MOST IMPORTANT deliverable' and the restated report contract; keeps 'plan.md is the plan file'. The existing assertions (report present, last, rows, unresolved status) now measure the skill's own report prose. * test: session-runner-tools checks harness prompt properties, not a byte-for-byte copy (W7e session-runner-tools.test.ts:544; t09 F7, F8) The ship capture prompt test asserts its purpose (no CEO-only writing guidance) plus the functional rules: one allowed skill path, AskUserQuestion unavailable, the section Read rule, no git/gh/mutation, and the REPORT.md path. The two 'MUST actually Read' pins match the Read rule case-insensitively. Negative control: dropping the no-mutation rule from the harness prompt turns the test red. * test: section-capture native tools checks harness prompt properties, not a copied golden (W7e section-capture-native-tools.test.ts:467; t04 F4) Asserts the absolute skill path is the only SKILL.md named, the scenario, AskUserQuestion unavailable, the section Read rule (case-insensitive, also at :308), no git/gh/mutation, and the REPORT.md path. argv/tool-list checks are unchanged. Negative control: dropping the no-mutation rule turns it red. * test: office-hours review-preservation judge test keeps its schema and untrusted-data checks, not its wording (W7e office-hours-completion.test.ts:416-429; t09 F10) Drops 13 phrase pins on the judge prompt. Kept: both inputs carried as JSON, the response schema (wire format), and the separate untrusted-DATA test. The validator behavior tests already use stub judges. Negative control: changing the schema string in the prompt builder turns the test red. * test: docsync lifecycle interface drops pins on its own helper prompt (W7e docsync-lifecycle-interface.test.ts; t02 #17) docsNativeInterface is the test helper's own prompt, so its sentence pins only checked that the helper says what it says. Kept: owned skill path, the two extracted lifecycle commands (exact), the scripts-list interpolation, the repo path and Git read examples, and every docsCommandAllowed / docsToolFailures behavior check that enforces the interface. * test: shared-libs revalidation prompt keeps its machine-shaped checks, not ~69 phrase pins (W7e shared-libs-revalidation-prompt; t11 #3, #8; t05 F17) reviewRevalidationPrompt and reviewPrompt are test-owned harness prompts (non-test callers: 0); the paid shared-libs E2Es measure whether they work. Kept: the three exact receipt commands, base-prompt prefix and resumed suffix identity, branch selection (actor / default / resumed coverage), the state path and turn-budget interpolations, read-record-before-diff and first-response-before-start ordering, no embedded token, no supplied Skip answer, reusable:true before reusable:false, the captured R59 stage boundaries in the exclusion list, asset roots and interfaces, and the stale step-6 reference ban. The review template's Step 4.7/4.8 completion rule is matched by step number on one line, not by sentence. Negative control: reordering the diff-read instruction turns the test red. * test: plan-design SDK fixture pins its harness prompt once, by ordered properties (W7e plan-design-sdk-fixture.test.ts:91-120; t01 F13) The prompt was pinned three ways (sha256, ~20 sentences, an order check). Kept: the skill and lazy-section paths, the plan path, the ordered read -> review -> edit -> Write -> read-back -> summary steps, and the no-browsing rule (case-insensitive). Dropped the hash and sentence pins. Negative control: removing the read-back step turns it red. * docs: overlay benchmark contract v3 (dedicated-tools gate = correct output + 20% fewer Bash) * test: dedicated-tools overlay case pinned to claude-opus-5-5 (E2) * chore: regenerate SKILL.md, goldens and context-budget fixture for the Opus 5.5 prompt cleanup * document-release: CHANGELOG-preservation and VERSION-ask rules at normal volume (s10 M4, M5; UC2, eval-gated) * chore: regenerate document-release * Revert "test: dedicated-tools overlay case pinned to claude-opus-5-5 (E2)" This reverts commit 737bf478d9. * test: memory-pipeline E2E seeds transcript consent (W4 consent-first default) * test: plan-review-report free check follows the de-coached prompt (W7g) * test(W7h): drop issue-number pins in land-and-deploy-postfail, match guards case-insensitively W7h (t09 F12, F13). One test file. Removed assertion groups: - `cli/cli#3442` / `cli/cli#13380` pins (t09 F12). Invariant: none of its own (upstream archaeology; the IDs stay in the template, only the pin goes). The behavior they decorated, "after any non-zero `gh pr merge` exit, query authoritative state before retrying", is now a kept free meaning check. - `Universal invariant` label pin. Invariant: query-before-retry. Remaining protection: the new case-insensitive check `/non-zero exit from `gh pr merge`, query authoritative PR state before retrying/i` (stronger: the mutation that inverts the rule now goes red; the old test stayed green). Loosened to case-insensitive meaning checks (kept, W7 keep list, data-loss and destructive-op guards): STOP worktree cleanup without removing, no `--force`, primary working tree never removed, CLOSED -> stop, never replay a merge after MERGED, one direct fallback, no fallback from a direct attempt, the OPEN/no-auto/no-queue fallback precondition, branch-absent vs check-failed messages. Gate-tier E2E also covering the flow: land-and-deploy-workflow (gate), judge `land-and-deploy/SKILL.md workflow` (gate lane). Cosmetic pins dropped (no control needed): capitals on STOP / Do NOT. Mutation log: .context/mutation-land-and-deploy-postfail.md (12 mutations, 0 unexpected: reorder, field delete and 7 safety deletes red; 3 rewordings green). * test(W7c): ship-apple-gate matches its gates on meaning, not capitals W7c (t06 #19). One test file. Removed assertion groups: - "A genuine blocker may require a safety or named documentation-risk decision" and "routine interactions and blocking decisions above" sentence pins. Invariant: routine release authorization never waives a blocking safety/docs decision. Remaining protection: kept free meaning check `/stop for that decision rather than treating release authorization as a waiver/i` plus `/named documentation-risk exception before distribution/i`. - Full-sentence "in `read-only` mode against the selected release source". Invariant: the docs preflight is read-only. Remaining protection: kept free check on "`read-only` mode". Loosened (case-insensitive, kept): apply-only-to-repository-landing scope line, CLASSIFY-before-credentials (credential boundary), never abort a store release over branch topology (demonstrated failure), two routine interactions (numeric limit), stop-for-decision (consent/stop line). Kept unchanged: manifest trigger routing, Apple read before the branch gate, byte-exact branch gate appearing once, docs preflight before the authorization moment, fastlane/iris/appPriceSchedules command anchors, stale-wording bans. No gate-tier E2E covers the Apple adapter, so every invariant keeps a free check here. Cosmetic pins dropped: capitals on ONLY / CLASSIFY / STOP. Mutation log: .context/mutation-ship-apple-gate.md (14 mutations, 0 unexpected: 2 reorders, 1 marker and 6 safety mutations red; 5 rewordings green). * test(W7c): ship-reentry-gates keeps stop/consent meaning, drops sentence pins W7c (t08 F3). One test file. Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - "Retain queued fixes and restore coverage" -> a missing reviewer keeps queued fixes: gate E2E ship-skipped-queued-finding (gate) and judge `ship/SKILL.md workflow` (gate lane); the stop itself stays a free check. - qa decline print line ("Test bootstrap previously declined — skipping.") -> qa skips bootstrap after a saved decline: kept free meaning check `/BOOTSTRAP_DECLINED ... skip the rest of bootstrap/i`. - "with the user's free-text evidence" -> UNVERIFIABLE items are confirmed one by one: kept free `/per-item confirmation/i` here plus the blanket-confirm check in ship-plan-completion-invariants. - Docs reentry sentences ("On reentry, reuse only ...", its duplicate, "base/ input hashes still match", "retain its actual status and scope", "Otherwise use Blocked recovery ...") -> reentry reuses only this invocation's validated evidence: kept free checks "never reuse an audit across invocations" and "reentry never resets the count or authorizes a launch"; gate E2Es ship-docsync-stale-before, ship-docsync-stale-after, ship-docsync-recovery, ship-docsync-late-result (all gate). - "left uncommitted after Step 15" -> late commits take only remaining changes: kept free "never create an empty commit" and "preserve unrelated user files"; gate E2E ship-local-workflow (gate). Loosened to case-insensitive meaning checks (stop/consent/approval lines, always kept): STOP blocks advancement, answer each AskUserQuestion, routine authorization never waives gates, dispatched-reviewer-missing -> stop, CYCLES >= 3 -> stop, Any N -> stop as NOT DONE, resume only after verified, no second deferral, per-item confirmation, explicit Add-tests choice overrides the decline for this invocation only, framework approval, first entry launches the audit, no third attempt, unwaivable redaction/security gates. Kept unchanged: bootstrap branch order, no `rm` in the decline branch, the Step 14 -> 14.5 routing line, stale-string bans, `NEW_TITLE` field and `--title "$NEW_TITLE"`. Cosmetic pins dropped: STOP capitals, "mandatory". Mutation log: .context/mutation-ship-reentry-gates.md (17 mutations, 0 unexpected: 1 reorder, 2 marker and 9 safety mutations red; 5 rewordings green). * test(W7c): shrink ceo-workflow-clarity to structural and meaning checks W7c conversion (t05 F5-F8). Pin lines 48 -> 29 (toContain|toMatch|indexOf|includes|ordered); sentence pins collapse to one case-insensitive meaning check per invariant. Per the Eng "Retirements" item, CEO invariants count as periodic-only once plan-ceo-review-benefits retires, so every invariant below keeps a free check. Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - Required/Pending/Settled status sentences (4 pins): pending work stays unapproved; only exact authority settles a choice -> kept free: label order plus /Pending: unapproved/i and /Settled: ... a recommendation does not/i. - Admin-route sentences (Skip steps 1-4, 0E/0H ownership, admin answer that requests a plan change, 0G proposals use this route, mode-change pointer): admin menus approve nothing and return locally -> kept free: Admin < Plan decision < steps 1-4 < checkpoints order, /this approves no plan changes/i, /0D returns to its caller, not to mode selection/i. - not.toContain('0D never restarts mode selection') and not.toContain('using the Step 0E mode-handoff format') (t05 F8, bans of retired phrasings): same invariants -> kept free: the positive route checks. - '**STOP for the actual answer, even for a lone option.**' exact bold pin: wait for the answer before recording -> kept free: /stop for the actual answer/i, located between step 4 and the post-answer checkpoint. - Mode-change sentences (repeat handoff record, complete newly applicable Step 0 work, resume the paused step): a mode change waits for an answer -> kept free: /pause and ask ... keep the mode until answered/i and /selecting a mode does not approve changes/i; routing table rows kept exact. - Scope-count sentences: reuse counts against limits, mode recommendation excludes unchanged reuse, neither approves -> kept free: three short case-insensitive meaning checks plus the >15 / 8-file / 2-class numbers and the route order. - Completion-fraction sentences (select answered questions, exclude unscored, Y/X definitions): fraction definition -> kept free: 10/7/3 scale, reopened choice counted once, 'Report X/Y, or `N/A` when Y is zero' (output field). - Section-gate sentences ('0D's Plan decision route through its post-answer save', 'Resolve critical risks now') and the literal Decision gate count 11 (t05 F7): one gate per section -> kept free: path order, /no path selects the mode again/i, gate count derived from '### Section N:' headings. - Section 1 opening sentences (retain mode/rationale, governing row ID): Section 1 publishes current dispositions, not a mode handoff -> kept free: **Current scope** present, the four disposition names, /not another mode handoff; do not ask or log the mode again/i. Gate-tier judge that also grades this prose: 'plan-ceo-review/SKILL.md modes'. Mutation pass (scratch worktree, generated plan-ceo-review skill): 16/16 as expected; 11 kept-step/marker/safety/numeric mutations go red, 5 rewordings of dropped sentences (and a lowered-register STOP line) stay green. Log: .context/mutation-ceo-workflow-clarity.md. * test(W7c): shrink eng-review-routing to structural and meaning checks W7c conversion (t02 #4-#10, W7a s04 F15 pin). Pin lines 88 -> 74 (toContain|toMatch|indexOf|includes|ordered); ~50 full-sentence pins become order checks, field/marker checks and short case-insensitive meaning checks. Remaining gate-tier judge for the plan-eng prose: 'plan-eng-review/SKILL.md sections' (judge input is ENG_REVIEW_EXCERPT, which the first test proves contains review-sections and Recovery routing). Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - Preparation sentences ('Follow the blocks below in order after startup', 'Confidence Calibration and Decision procedure are reference rules'): blocks run in order -> kept free: heading order check now starts at '## Review preparation'; judge 'plan-eng-review/SKILL.md sections'. - Priority/compression sentences ('Shorten only optional commentary', 'never Scope Challenge, Sections 1-4...', 'Never condense, abbreviate or skip a section'): compression cannot drop required stages -> kept free: /complete every required stage, decision gate and output/i and the 'Everything else' stale ban; judge. - Exact seven-label toEqual on Scope Challenge assessments (t02 #8): all seven checks present -> kept free: arrayContaining on the same labels plus the A/B/C heading toEqual (excerpt anchors). - 'Complete these checks before the complexity decision in B': A runs before B -> kept free: heading order A < B < C. - Below-threshold / findings sentences (numbered step full sentences): C always runs, findings approve nothing -> kept free: step-number order, /fewer than 8 files AND fewer than 2 new classes/i, /run C whether B was completed or skipped/i, /approve no remedies/i, '"No issues found"'. - '...

Log: .context/mutation-eng-review-routing.md. * test: fold the harness-freeze fixture tests into the tests that own their helpers (test-of-test ratchet) Seven new files imported only test code; their stored known-good/known-bad rows move unchanged into the owning tests: - auq-matrix-format-gate -> auq-native-capture.test.ts - browse-judge-floors -> workflow-judge-cache.test.ts - ceo-split-floor -> plan-review-cases.test.ts (one block appended at the end) - plan-mode-targeting -> plan-mode-evidence.test.ts - shared-libs-pr-coverage-budget -> shared-libs-fixture.test.ts - skill-body-narration -> skill-fixture.test.ts - test-value-seam-evidence -> test-value-bar.test.ts plan-format-kind-note and ship-triage-labels have no other owner, so each now checks its grader against the production source it grades: the kind note generateAskUserFormat prescribes, and the in-branch / pre-existing labels in ship/sections/tests.md.tmpl. No BASELINE entries added. * test(W7c): ship-plan-completion-invariants keeps tokens and gates, drops prose W7c (t06 #9, #10, #11; #7/#8 already landed with W7a). One test file. Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - Execution-only extraction sentences ("implementation and test-creation requirements", "retain its command, expected outcome and source verbatim", "not EXTERNAL-STATE merely because ...", "Keep genuine external-state ...") -> execution-only checks route to Step 8.1/9 outside counts and are never DONE statically: kept free checks `Step 8.1/9`, outside implementation counts, `never DONE from static inspection`, do-not-waive; gate E2E ship-exploratory-plan-checks (gate). - Plan-verification prep sentences (~17: "Clarify unknown outcomes", browser vs functional items, "An API URL is not automatically a page", "Only browser evidence needs screenshots", smoke-budget and command-limit sentences, risk acceptance wording) -> plan checks are collected now, executed by the Step 9.2.1 owner before Fix-First, and never silently waived: kept free checks on the heading list, `Collect now; execute in Step 9`, `Step 8.2`, `Handoff to Step 9.2.1` order, `before Fix-First`, never silently waive, noninteractive -> blocked, the `VERIFY_RESULT=` line and `## Verification Results`; gate E2Es ship-exploratory-plan-checks, ship-exploratory-small-cli (gate). - Parent-processing duplicates on the generated section (same pins as the template test) -> kept on the template test; the generated copy keeps section order + seven-field anchor; freshness via gen-skill-docs. - "Check the task's terminal status", "recording the reason in the PR body and Step 20 metrics" -> failed audits use the fallback: kept free LAST-line JSON -> audit-failure fallback check and `(recommended/default)` marker. - Step 16 evidence sentences ("Independently prove ...", "exact command, exit, timestamp and log", "This recovery also applies ... stage 5") -> storage failure is not stale input: kept free table-row structure, storage column must not rerun `gstack-evidence run`, STALE/MISSING without proof, ledger unavailable never FRESH; judge `ship/SKILL.md workflow` (gate lane). - "Each commit must work independently" -> bisectable commits: kept `bisectable commits`, `continue to Step 16`, no empty commit, history- rewrite bans; judge `ship/SKILL.md workflow` (gate lane).

The AskUserQuestion-format byte-equivalence test (t05 Kept) is unchanged. eng scope-gate E2Es are periodic (plan-eng-review-plan-mode), so every scope-gate invariant keeps a free check; duplicates of eng-review-routing cite that file.

Loosened, invariant kept as a free case-insensitive meaning check: - `MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE` (codex skeleton) -> one codex mode per invocation: `/mutually exclusive/i` (t08 F4). - `skip the Codex passes ONLY` (review adversarial) -> `codex_reviews=disabled` skips only the Codex passes, Claude adversarial still runs: `/disabled[^\n]*skip the Codex passes only/i` (t08 F5). - `If any in-branch failures remain unfixed, **STOP**. Do not proceed` (ship tests section) -> unfixed in-branch failures block advancement: `/in-branch failures remain unfixed ... stop ... do not proceed/i` (t08 F2). Also covered by gate E2E ship-triage (gate). Cosmetic pins dropped: capitals and bold only. Mutation log: .context/mutation-skill-validation.md (6 mutations, 0 unexpected: 3 rule deletions red; 3 lower-case rewordings green). * test(W7c): drop coverage-audit checklist tool-call prose pins W7c conversion (t05 F11; unblocks s06 L9). Pin lines 17 -> 14. Removed assertion group (invariant -> remaining protection): - review/specialists/testing.md prose pins 'If the caller explicitly asks for an ASCII coverage diagram', 'dedicated tool call' and /Read diffs, package files, configs, or other context in separate tool calls\./ (tool-use choreography): the agent reads the named source and test files before drawing the diagram -> kept free: the same test still extracts the checklist's example diagram and requires coverageAuditVerdict to accept it (sourceRead/testsRead/diagram/passed), plus the kept [OK]/[GAP] row and legend pins; gate-tier E2Es review-coverage-audit, plan-eng-coverage-audit and ship-coverage-audit (E2E_TIERS: gate) grade the reads from transcript evidence with the same oracle. Mutation pass (scratch worktree, review/specialists/testing.md): 6/6 as expected; reordered diagram rows, deleted legend, deleted [OK] marker and a removed text fence go red; two rewordings of the dropped tool-call sentences stay green.

The MANDATORY format list (machine-read Recommendation:/(recommended) and the AUQ format labels, W7 keep list) is unchanged. Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - plan-ceo-review /Do NOT batch/i (t01 F10): one decision per question -> kept free: /One decision unit = one AskUserQuestion call/i in the same rule list. - plan-eng-review full-sentence regexes 'Send `AskUserQuestion({ questions: [currentDecision] })` only after the pending-record checkpoint passes. Send one question object for one choice; other IDs wait' and 'If you discover another independent choice, separate it and rebuild this comparison before saving or sending the question' (t01 F11): one question object per independent choice survives the carve -> kept free: /one\s+question object for one choice/i and /independently selectable changes separate IDs/i; the checkpoint-before-send order stays pinned in eng-review-routing.test.ts. - codex /Synthesis recommendation \(REQUIRED\)/i (t01 F12, caps marker): codex keeps its synthesis rule always loaded -> kept free: /Synthesis recommendation/i and the machine format /Recommendation\s*:\s*<action>\s* because/i. Mutation pass (scratch worktree, generated SKILL.md and sections): 8/8 as expected; removing Recommendation: <action> because, the synthesis rule, or the CEO/eng/design decision-unit rules goes red; dropping (REQUIRED) and rewording the two dropped eng sentences stays green. Log: .context/mutation-auq-format-always-loaded.md. * test(W7c): qa-probe-gates keeps loop order, bounds and the CI-proven Read gate W7c (t07 F3, F4, F5). One test file. This file stays the single owner of shared QA loop ordering (qa-functional-prompt defers to it). Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - `> **STOP.** Before any probe ...` prefix pin (t07 F3, retire) -> parent QA loads methods before any probe: kept free meaning check on "before any probe, including plan checks, complete the ordered scope/method Reads" and its order before the required-checks step. - Preparation prose in the stage list ("in full and select the surfaces", "2. Read the selected surface methods below in full", "Write a **charter**", "Start once before baseline:") -> stage order scope -> methods -> charter -> deadline start -> loop: kept as structural anchors (section Reads, surface labels, `## 1. Charter and preflight`, `bun G start D SECONDS`, step 1 title); added a reorder control moving a method Read after the charter. - Bounds/layout sentences ("an unlimited mode uses the caller's bound", "announce finite command timeouts", "EARLIER_UTC = caller's absolute deadline, if set", "in the probe directory, beside its deadline if bounded", duplicate SECONDS pins in the mode-bounds test, "charters as Markdown in the report", the full "observed: its exact decoded child JSON ..." sentence) -> numeric bounds and field names are kept free checks; the observed-field shape is enforced by the native checkpoint validator (qa-functional-prompt validator tests, free) and gate E2Es qa-functional-cli-report, qa-functional-webhook-report (gate). - Publication prose ("No drafts/placeholders", "and replay limits in the report", "An absolute state path is not itself a secret", "If capture is incomplete, report that limit instead of reconstructing it") -> notes are immutable and unsafe values withheld: kept free checks on "corrections cannot repair published notes", never invent a substitute, withhold secrets/unsafe values and stop the chain; validator-backed in qa-functional-prompt; gate E2Es review-exploratory-small-cli, ship-exploratory-small-cli (gate). - Loop-step prose ("Guard if bounded; await completion", "Run that exact probe; G enforces ..." duplicate, "then minimize via those gates", "Expiry leaves confirmation/minimization incomplete", "for each affected revalidation", "If bounded, run", "Reuse Step 4's ... completed Reads", "Finish missing methods before charters") -> loop has 5 steps, guarded by G, replays via steps 2–3, revalidation returns to step 2: kept free checks on step count, `G enforces the deadline`, `bun G status D`, `via steps 2–3`, `return to step 2`, refusals as not-run, do not repeat completed Reads. - CI-fixture clause "description, section index or remembered method is not a completed instruction Read" -> covered by the kept CI-proven clauses (`## 0. Preparation gate`, await each Read, complete missing Reads before Charter) and gate E2E ship-exploratory-small-cli (gate; the CI case). Kept (meaning checks, case-insensitive where prose): CI-proven "await their results before the first probe" rule (comment + mutation kept), Reads in order, no repeated Reads, SECONDS=30/900, shorter mode/caller limit, no D without a total limit, finite timeouts, REPORT_DIR layout and caller paths win, plan checks after smoke with no smoke guard and no clock reset, caller cap, not-run on expiry, await clock results, never reset D/bypass G, invalid/missing D stops probes, expiry -> write the report, Step 4 read-only, isolation/permission preflight before setup, field names, QA_DEADLINE receipts, all semantic-flip mutation controls, method/report resource paths, helper commands.

Pin lines 203 -> 166. autoplan has only periodic E2Es (autoplan-dual-voice, autoplan-journal-drift: E2E_TIERS periodic), so every invariant keeps one free check: sentence pins collapse to short /i meaning checks; commands, CLI signatures, placeholders, tool parameters, report fields, packet outputs (code-generated) and stale-string bans stay exact. Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - 'Eng runs LAST, always' (caps sentence): Eng is the terminal phase -> kept free: /CEO → Design.*→ DX.*→ Eng/s, heading order 1 < 2 < 2.5 < 3 and the 'CEO → Design → Eng → DX' ban. - Final-gate sentences ('...Use Decision Classification;

Mutation pass (scratch worktree; autoplan template, sections and generated phase-close): 23/23 as expected; 16 reorder/old-order/tool-param/placeholder/ numeric/consent/stop/safety mutations go red, 7 rewordings and lowered caps (ONLY/FINAL, Keep ONE phase) stay green. Log: .context/mutation-autoplan-phase-order.md. * test(W7c): qa-functional-prompt keeps the verifier contract, drops driver prose W7c (t07 F6, F7, F8). One test file. The eval prompt itself is unchanged. Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - ~40 driver-prompt sentence pins in the disclosure, artifact and fix-budget tests ("All four reads are required before probing ...", "command is the exact full outer capture invocation, including ...", "different later command", "not the required same-command replay", "Only the helper writes observed fields", "Link the evidence and checkpoint files ...", "Evidence rows contain ONLY complete JSON ...", "aim under 400 words", "one causal sentence per checkpoint hypothesis ...", "a reproduced in-tier defect requires ...", duplicates of "retain its headings ..." etc.) -> the run produces verifiable evidence and a linked report: free validator tests in this file (qaFunctionalVerdict replay, validateQACheckpoints on CI, R29 and R85 captures) and gate E2Es qa-functional-cli-report, qa-functional-webhook-report, qa-functional-cli-fix, qa-functional-webhook-fix (gate). Kept the machine-read contract: read list, `"command":"<exact full outer capture invocation>"`, `annotations.learning`, the three copied field names, the >20-character limit, evidence.json before report.md. - `maxTurns: 40` / `completionReserveMs: timeout / 4` exact source pins -> replaced by a `maxTurns >= 40` floor and presence of `completionReserveMs`. - Fix-stage provenance sentences ("most recent completed native probe", "Tests, source edits and clock reads ...", "write no checkpoint when there is no next probe") -> test output never becomes `observed`: kept one free meaning check plus the R29 validator test (free). - Duplicate loop-order checks on qa-only/sections/exploratory.md and grep of `scripts/resolvers/qa.ts` source (t07 F6, F8) -> loop ordering has one owner, qa-probe-gates (free, every host). Here the source grep becomes a check on `generateQAExploratory` output (one probe per native command, never batch probes), and the caller test keeps resource paths, field names and structural stage anchors. Loosened to case-insensitive meaning checks (kept): never synthesize JSON, never shorten native JSON, existing tests read-only, freeze tests after red, repair scope `src/<family>.ts`, green suite does not replace native probes, report incomplete honestly, report-only proposes test stubs, completion reserve does not end coverage, all eight scenarios required, never backfill notes, owned probe directory, only complete emitted JSON, wrapper/entrypoint boundary lines. Kept unchanged: paid-case selection, CI/R29/R85 validator replays, actor boundary and command allowlist, fix-stage order, verification probe list, scenario lists.

The scope classifiers (nativeSeededPlanSelection, isScopeGateAutoSelectVisible, isScopeGateQuestionVisible), the consumed announcement and A/B/C menu bytes, and every non-caps assertion are unchanged. Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - 'Reply with A, B, or C. STOP and wait' order anchors (design, template and every host expansion): menu precedes bootstrap -> kept free: the consumed prefix 'Reply with A, B, or C' (pty/classify.ts, pty/judge.ts), now also required to exist after '## Scope gate' so a missing menu cannot pass the order check with indexOf -1. - 'call AskUserQuestion FIRST and wait.', 'does NOT count as the mode signal', 'If the user explicitly named a DIFFERENT target' (design and eng), 'STOP and wait for the answer — only after the user picks', 'STOP and wait for the answer' (toContain and indexOf before the first ```bash on every host): ask first, pasted text is not a mode signal, explicit targets win, stop until answered -> kept free: the same rules as case-insensitive meaning checks, including the per-host ordering (search /stop and wait for the answer/i before the first ```bash, with a presence check).

The run_in_background flag pins, structural scanner and inverted-phrasing ban are unchanged.

Pins (grep -cE 'toContain|toMatch|indexOf|includes'): 647 -> 388 lines; toContain( 535 -> 136; expect() calls per run 1657 -> 1399. The carve block, section-capture fixtures and validateCeoReviewCompletion tests are unchanged (t06 keep list) except two exact-duplicate 0D pins. CEO invariants count as periodic-only (plan-ceo-review-benefits retires), so every invariant below keeps a free structural or case-insensitive check. Gate-tier judge that also grades this prose: 'plan-ceo-review/SKILL.md modes'. New helpers: ordered() (exact labels/headings/placeholders/table cells as strings, meaning anchors as /i RegExp) and between() (fails loudly on a missing end anchor instead of silently running to EOF).

Kept byte-exact or structural: marker-order arrays (### Prepare an unanswered choice -> ### Send once and wait -> ### Record the answer, heading list equality, Pending-record checkpoint, finish steps 1-6, entrypoint recovery order, output placeholder order), the parsed write-policy table routes, the generateAntiShortcutClause host matrix, every not.toContain(stale) ban, numeric limits (8+ files / 2+ new classes, fewer than 8 / 2, under 5 words, 2-3 options, six-column / five-field / four-step), consumed tokens and field names (`scope accepted as-is`, `scope reduced per recommendation`, FULL_REVIEW/ SCOPE_REDUCED mapping, **issues_found**, SOURCE=/OUTSIDE_STATUS=/STATUS=, OUTCOME=, `BLOCKED`, `## GSTACK REVIEW REPORT`, `currentDecision`, D<N> and ROW-ID formats, prescribed A-D menus), placeholders, commands/paths and all picker behavior tests (unchanged). STOP/wait/approval/safety lines become case-insensitive meaning checks located between their headings (e.g. /stop until the actual answer arrives/i between Send once and Record the answer; /do not replace the section in place/i plus /append the new report at EOF/i). CEO invariants (periodic-only once plan-ceo-review-benefits retires) each keep one free check. Eng/Design/DX invariants keep one free check too; nothing below relies on a periodic-only E2E. Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - CEO route/narrow depth (:19) full sentences: admin answers approve nothing, plan decisions run steps 1-4, settled choices go to 0E -> kept free: Admin < Plan decision order, checkpoint order, five short /i checks, stale ban. - Eng evidence paths/labels (:33) 'Prior Learnings configuration', path rule sentences -> kept free: the three path field labels, /never invent paths/i, `not available`, label tokens, stale ban. - Eng first report save (:47) 9 requirement sentences -> 5 short /i requirements with the same remove-one-must-throw self-control; parent-dir, original-plan-copy and scope-record clauses dropped (initialization invariant kept by target-header/preserve/no-findings/placement/terminal- report checks; collision suffix kept in the write-policy test). - Eng setup selectors (:79) and its duplicate in the big Eng ordering test: selectors approve no remedy -> kept free: /these selections approve no engineering remedy/i, B selectors, no pre-answer ledger, stale ban; the 'For the next choice' sentence -> kept free: transaction marker order. - Eng performance (:94) exact bullet list -> kept free: four concern keywords from the parsed bullets; Decision-procedure sentence -> kept free in the four-section test. - Eng complexity/MODE (:105) per-target counting, 'Count each once', 'Keep it current', 'Continue to Section 1' sentences -> kept free: count-selected- work, both thresholds, MODE tokens and mapping, scope-reduction meaning, 'approves no pending remedy', Continue-to-Section-1 in the C order array. - Eng three-stage transaction (:125) sentence markers -> same 13-step order array with short /i anchors and the remove-one-must-throw control. - Eng Test Plan refresh, coverage trace (:150, :162) sentences -> kept free: placeholder count/order, prepare step count, short /i checks; coverage audit also graded by plan-eng-coverage-audit (gate). - CEO fallback (:178) sentences -> kept free: host mode token matrix, status field values, /final report is written later in Required Outputs/i, ban. - Persistence per skill (:229) Eng duplicates ('If the required log is forbidden', 'Neither supplies', FULL_REVIEW mapping, 'after successful Read-back') -> kept free in the readiness, complexity and write-policy tests; CEO 'retain its diagnostic' -> kept free: /do not claim that entry was recorded/i and three other CEO log checks. - Report resolver per host (:261) duplicate 'Do not choose another destination', 'Review record and write policy', 'full review output', explicit/named/active sentences -> kept free: target precedence order; CEO writer's seven sentences -> kept free: six-anchor order ending at '4. **Read-back gate:**' plus the blocked-return check. - Generated carriers (:327) bold STOP pin -> /stop until the actual answer arrives/i in the dispatch order array. - Big Eng ordering test (:358) duplicates of the gate describe (one question object, 8+/STOP, both-retain, setup, separate instrumentation, keep chosen values, calibration<procedure<scope, Decision procedure < Architecture, outside-voice consent lines) -> kept free once each (boundary list, queue test, preparation order array now ending at ### 1. Architecture review); 'Use existing tests ... bounded probes', 'post-answer scope summary', 'Compare only the file/class arrangement', 'contracts and approved security...', 'With no proposed cuts', 'Present numbered...' sentences -> kept free: build-boundary order check, structure-question and unapproved-fixes checks, C-step order array. - Eng gate describe: exact-duplicate pins (same sentence 2-4x in one test or repeated per section inside the 4-section loop) -> one copy kept; ledger placeholder descriptions (Plan baseline/Runtime evidence/Actual answer/ Accepted scope text) -> kept free: parsed ledger field-name list, R1 header, State values, A)/B) selectors, ledger position. - Gate tests 'identifies commitments before comparing values', 'common new defaults...', 'exact prior answers authorize...', 'finding evidence, stable decision identity...' merged: every non-duplicate invariant (optional depths, shared new value needs approval, unknown risks visible, drafts grant nothing, reopened ID keeps D<N>, test scores not answer status) -> kept free as one /i check in 'current contracts...' or 'all four section gates...'; their order checks -> kept free: prepare<identify<compare<save<send<record. - Remove-old-occurrence, 'Otherwise leave the remedy pending', 'no question or comparison grid is needed', 'never the saved-report gate', 'Compare the label separately', 'When revising, replace the whole current payload', 'It may be the selected plan', 'Present each completely as not persisted', 'If none is permitted...', 'A forbidden write follows its row', 'Run Learning hooks ...', 'Refresh affected tests...', 'If startup values...', 'instead of creating another approval row', 'Keep that remedy pending' -> same invariant kept free by an adjacent check (State replace/once checks, approves-no-implementation, factual-correction, recovery routing, payload rebuild, write-policy routes, return-to-entrypoint count, late-change and blocked checks, common-work check). - Worked example anchor sentence -> anchored on the Compare section and 'Ask about jitter first:'; parsed R1/R2 table equality kept. - Outside-voice queue: dead generic branch (all three skills `continue` before it; never executed) removed -> none needed (unreachable). Eng procedure re-checks inside the queue (5 sentences) -> kept free in the gate describe. Shared CEO/Eng/DX scope-revision sentences hoisted to one shared /i block per skill; CEO 'Keep candidate scope ...' etc. -> kept free as short /i checks; prescribed A-D menus kept exact. - Design register (:1771) sentences -> kept free: grounding-before-question order and three /i checks; 'Surface real missing decisions' dropped (positive restatement of the same rule). Gate-tier coverage that also grades this prose: judges 'plan-eng-review/ SKILL.md sections', 'plan-design-review/SKILL.md passes', 'plan-ceo-review/ SKILL.md modes'; E2Es plan-eng-coverage-audit, plan-review-report, plan-devex-review-plan-mode (gate).

One test file; still renders every host x caller. Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - `STOP and wait` / `STOP for the answer` / `AskUserQuestion and WAIT` capitals (t10 F12) -> approval before `./setup` or install: now an order check (explicit approval < "only after approval" < `cd <SKILL_DIR> && ./setup`; OK to proceed? < setup; AskUserQuestion-and-wait < install only the actual choice), plus case-insensitive "stop for the answer". Stronger: the mutation that moves setup ahead of the approval ask now goes red (the old test stayed green). New negative control removes the approval ask. - Report-layout prose for /review and /ship (keep metadata/outcome tables, demote headings one/two levels, fields as subsections, keep scores separate, save baseline normally) -> one final linked report section: kept free checks on the `## Exploratory QA and Verification Results` / `### Browser results` / `## Exploratory QA` headings, link every checkpoint and no second report; gate E2Es review-exploratory-small-cli, ship-exploratory-small-cli (gate). - Smoke-pacing prose ("one success and the riskiest changed failure/edge", "Required even for small diffs ...", "Required: plan commands/assertions, listed separately", "Other ideas are optional, untested") and duplicate report-status pins -> kept the numeric `5 minutes/12 probes` bound and the report-clean-only-when-all-required-pass gate; gate E2Es ship-exploratory-small-cli, ship-exploratory-plan-checks (gate). - Dedup prose ("Combine saved `findings` ...", "If both history ... classify normally", "Report the suppressed count once if nonzero", "If N > 0, print once:", "Otherwise skip the summary") -> only user `skipped` findings are suppressed: kept free order check (read decisions before matching) and the `skipped` / never `fixed` / `auto-fixed` lines; gate E2E ship-skipped-queued-finding (gate). - Preparation sentence pins duplicated from qa-probe-gates (Reads in order, no repeated Reads, "in full and select the surfaces", "Write a **charter**", "charter** per behavior", "announce finite command timeouts") -> owned by qa-probe-gates (free, every host); this file keeps scope < methods < charter structural order for every caller. - Learnings prose ("Otherwise skip this optional lookup", "Reading old notes never requires writing new ones") -> report-only lookup never writes: kept free checks (directory already known, caller permits, do not run the search helper, no bash/gstack-config/AskUserQuestion, injection throw); the query interpolation stays checked via `"webhook retries"`. - Misc prose ("Re-run affected contracts and adjacent happy paths ...", "Run only for selected browser surfaces", "Confirm each issue by retrying once", "parent applies queued fixes", "No test framework detected", "Report QA setup blockers", "required QA") -> judge `qa/SKILL.md workflow` and `review/SKILL.md workflow` (gate lane); the adjacent kept gates remain free.

Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - Plan-audit sentences ("retain the exact command ...", "A mixed item contributes to both lists", "Keep external-state ...", "If only behavioral checks remain ...", "File-existence checks ... are static audit checks") -> audited deliverables vs deferred behavioral checks: kept free checks on the separation, never DONE from a diff, zero-deliverable no-waive, UNVERIFIABLE -> Step 4.7, read-only audit (no apps/APIs/state) and inspect -before-invoke order; gate E2E review-exploratory-small-cli (gate). - QA loop/report duplicates of qa-probe-gates / qa-caller-authority (probe loop sentences, shared contracts, report layout prose, "Only the parent runs report-only discovery", "Read agent/user updates ...", "Prepare one provisional QA section", smoke composition) -> owned there (free, every host); here only `5 minutes/12 probes`, headings, link-every-checkpoint, no second report, never overwrite another run, freshness vs current inputs. - Persistence/finalization prose (~45: "final zero-edit pass, reconcile", "by structural identity", "without requiring deleted pre-extraction blocks", "raw bytes equal the bound snapshot blobs", "Keep both through re-reviews", "Earlier core tokens remain unused", "Re-read its final- snapshot supporting source ...", "Fixed advice needs no skip coverage", "The required in-host adversarial result controls native completion", "Optional outside attempts keep their own incomplete records ...", etc.) -> kept free token list (REVIEW_START/PASS_START, COMPLETED, CONVERGED, CYCLES=0 once, `review_binding`, `snapshot_covered_paths`, sharedLibsFingerprint, `completed:false`, evidence_paths/helper_target), cycle limit (at most 3, Below 3 repeat, At 3 persist `converged:false`), section order, and the integrity gates below; judge `review/SKILL.md workflow` (gate lane); gate E2Es review-army-delivery-audit, review-army-json-findings, review-army-quality-score (gate). - Confidence-calibration prose (data loss/outage examples, missing field / nullable / race quoting, metaclass/ORM sentence, missing-literal sentence, learning-log sentence) -> kept the score table as a routing table (each band's action), `[CRITICAL]` / `[CRITICAL|INFORMATIONAL]`, no P0-2, `file:line`, force 4-5, never invent 7+, unverified-without-quote, gate before table; judge `review/SKILL.md workflow` (gate lane). - Shared-code reuse safeguard enumeration (assume-unchanged/skip-worktree, sparse index, symlinks, submodules, Git filters, encodings, fsmonitor, textconv, provenance, binding wording) -> enforced in code and covered by free tests test/shared-libs-snapshot-check.test.ts, test/shared-libs-evidence.test.ts, test/shared-libs-checker-interface- evidence.test.ts; kept the checker command/heredoc/JSON tokens and the fail-closed lines. - Misc definitions ("A probe is affected when ...", "An invocation is this /review run ...", "Step 1.5's provisional notes ...", "Otherwise record each considered specialist", "Core findings use the confidence gates below", "highest confidence", "distinct specialists", "all source names", "active or unknown reader/writer", Greptile "Before edits, inspect ...") -> judge `review/SKILL.md workflow` (gate lane). Kept as case-insensitive meaning checks (stop/consent/approval/safety): no edits before Step 5, readers returned or confirmed stopped, no edits in Step 4.8, stop without edits on unconfirmed readers (review and ship), stop at 3 cycles with no clean summary or fourth pass, failed/blocked probes mean incomplete, ship named-risk cannot complete review, native vs outside cannot substitute, structured-review gate, never carry coverage forward, never invent a binding, skipped advisory cannot suppress a defect, user-skip-only suppression, Greptile reply != code approval and wait for approval before editing, HIGH-impact gate options (A ends, read-only audit, no shipping authorization), never downgrade severity, never trust a supplied hash, missing metadata cannot dedupe, test creation needs approval, report-only review never runs setup/installs/cookie import. Kept unchanged: all marker-order arrays, manifest order, Pre-Landing summary after the logger, finish-token count and negatives, stale-wording bans (incl. `git diff origin/main`), ship/review routing negatives. Cosmetic pins dropped: STOP / NON / COUNT capitals; the test titled "resolves the judged ... ambiguities" is renamed to say what it keeps.

Kept as case-insensitive meaning checks (t09 F1/F3; stop/consent/approval and safety lines): STOP and AskUserQuestion gates apply during repairs, a repair never resets or expands approvals, children return evidence not permission, prior-invocation audits never qualify, one repair/re-audit and no third attempt (initial-plus-one, once), Otherwise -> stop unless the user accepts the named docs risk, never silently refresh hashes, never run a third audit, dispatched-reviewer-missing -> stop, CYCLES >= 3 -> stop with `converged:false`, no fourth cycle, missing coverage cannot be replaced, failed probes never clean, required-probe gate before Step 10, cannot waive reviewer/test/security gates, native recovery stops the task first and remains blocked, outside output cannot replace native, never attach new tokens to old work, failed build stops shipping, never edit the child's counts, test failure stops publication, push failure stops with no Step 19, never rewrite history, never bypass failed guards, both redaction scans before publishing, no release publish during /ship, only approval changes the version, declining bootstrap is not test approval. Kept unchanged: the executed plan-tune nudge shell test (3 roots), section/ step ordering checks, Step 11.5 placement and `review_binding.*` fields, branch-label order in the adversarial finish (every host), all stale- wording bans, `(recommended)` marker on Add tests. Cosmetic pins dropped: STOP / ONE capitals (t09 F1, F3). Mutation log: .context/mutation-ship-control-flow.md (21 mutations, 0 unexpected: 3 reorders, 3 markers, 9 safety red; 6 rewordings green). * test(W7h): replace workflow-judge-cache source-grep counts with an invariant W7h retirement (t09 F16, t13 F6) of the source-grep counts in 'workflow registration preserves model work and reserves only terminal-recording grace'. The stage-order check over runWorkflowJudge (the cheapest guard) and every behavioral callback test stay.

Controls (scratch worktree, test/skill-llm-eval.test.ts): moving cache.publish before the score assertions or registering the ship workflow judge with JUDGE_MS goes red; adding a correctly registered eval and reformatting 5_000 as 5000 (both red under the old pins) stay green (4/4). Log: .context/mutation-workflow-judge-cache.md. * test(W7h): retire the bws session-awareness (ELI16) paid case W7h retirement (t14 F5). Removes the case from test/skill-e2e-bws.test.ts and its E2E_TOUCHFILES / E2E_TIERS (gate) / E2E_KINDS (rule) entries in test/helpers/touchfiles-data.ts; scripts/paid-test-durations.json is per-file and test/helpers/periodic-exclude-data.ts had no entry. test/touchfiles.test.ts selection examples now name sibling cases with the same touchfiles (skillmd-outside-git, skillmd-no-local-binary). e2e-tier-alignment, eval-kinds and touchfiles stay green. Retirement card: - test: skill-e2e-bws.test.ts 'session-awareness' (gate, paid). - detects: nothing gstack ships. The prompt coaches a mode that no longer exists ("_SESSIONS=4, so ELI16 mode is active ... Re-ground them"; `git grep ELI16` outside test/ and CHANGELOG is empty) and says "DO NOT actually call AskUserQuestion"; every asserted word (billing/acme, payment/feature, stripe/checkout, recommend) comes from the prompt itself. - non_test_callers: none. - search_command: git grep -n "session-awareness\|ELI16" -- test scripts - stronger_proof / replacement: the AUQ format's grounding line 'Project/branch/task: <1 short grounding sentence using _BRANCH>' is pinned free by plan-review-calibration.test.ts (format tokens) and graded by gate E2E auq-format-gate; session identity in the preamble stays pinned by skill-validation.test.ts 'contains session awareness' and gen-skill-docs.test.ts 'session awareness lives in gstack-skill-start'. - history: c118e24 v1.64.1.0 (#2572). - validation: bun test test/touchfiles.test.ts test/e2e-tier-alignment.test.ts test/eval-kinds.test.ts.

Log: .context/mutation-session-awareness.md. * test(W7h): pin the Codex availability probe free for the four offering skills Replacement check for the codex-offered-* paid retirement (t14 F8): each of office-hours, plan-ceo-review, plan-design-review and plan-eng-review must render the executed `command -v codex` probe and its `not_installed` fallback mode in its generated SKILL.md + sections. These are bash lines the agent runs, so a deterministic grep replaces a paid model summary of them. skill-validation.test.ts already covers the default-on outside voice for eng/CEO/devex; this adds office-hours and plan-design-review and the fallback token. Control (scratch worktree, generated files): removing the probe from office-hours, plan-design-review or plan-eng-review, or the CEO not_installed branch, turns the new test red (4/4). Log: .context/mutation-codex-offering.md. * test(W7c): ship-workflow-clarity becomes a structural check of ship-only invariants W7c (t07 F1, F2, F15). One test file: 59 tests / ~438 pins -> 33 tests. Round-tagged titles (r6/r12/r22) are gone. Every invariant this file shared with the other converted ship files is now checked once, in its owner: ship-control-flow (work list, repair ranges, docs/test/push recovery, adversarial finish order, Step 11.5 binding), ship-plan-completion- invariants (evidence ledger, push/commit, waivers), ship-reentry-gates (stop lines, docs reentry, NEW_TITLE), workflow-excerpt (review cycle order, coverage/probe gates), qa-probe-gates / qa-caller-authority (QA loop). Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - Duplicated literals (45 repeated 2-7x, e.g. "Keep the same attempt counts throughout the invocation" x7, "Docs, TODO edits ... make evidence STALE" x5, the CYCLES >= 3 / fixes-below-cap / no-edits sentences, push-failure and native-recovery sentences) -> one free check each in the owners above. - Smoke/plan-check loop sentences and "Required even for small diffs ..." -> qa-probe-gates (free, every host); gate E2E ship-exploratory-small-cli (gate). Kept here: smoke guard started once before step 3, every host. - Invocation-record field lists (receipt/handle/attempt field prose, "reuse this invocation's saved level", FRESH/ALREADY_BUMPED level derivation, receipt definition, start-token definition) -> kept `BUMP_LEVEL`, record outside the product tree, approval scope, never borrow/replace a token, REVIEW_START/PASS_START/DESIGN_START, `gstack-review-log --start`, `gstack-wtree`; version derivation also in test/ship-version-sync.test.ts (free); judge `ship/SKILL.md workflow` (gate lane). - Reuse/judge-evidence prose ("original command, result/counts ...", "Compare hashes or complete bytes", "consumed files, fixtures ...", "complete expanded request, rubric ...") -> kept never resample, changed/ unknown dependencies rerun, mandatory reviews still run, freeze inputs; judge `ship/SKILL.md workflow` (gate lane). - Build/route prose ("If none exists, record not applicable ...", "declared generation/build commands ...", "Run them and save results", "Explain why other changes cannot affect it", "Inspect writer handles, including the docs child", "Keep Step 8's original child report and counts", "Recheck affected plan items ...", "append current evidence ...") -> kept stage order, route-label order, prompts/templates count as behavior, no-change -> stage 3, writer termination before another writer, stop until confirmed, build-failed label, no substitute command; gate E2Es ship-docsync-* (gate). - Docs-collector prose ("Terminal completion or confirmed termination is sufficient", "Require every field/type ...", "Compare saved base and input hashes ...", "Otherwise save post-child hashes ...", "A stale snapshot is neither ...", "Reconcile those before proceeding") -> kept attempt counting incl. failed launches, request alone insufficient, exited child blocked, HEAD/index unchanged + `files_updated`, protected-file exclusions, `documentation_section`, failed/blocked -> recovery, actual user exception, blocked status retained, same approved scope and exact content, retry restarts stage 1; gate E2Es ship-docsync-missing-marker, ship-docsync-launch-failure, ship-docsync-late-result (gate). - Release/commit prose ("Record the release decision after a version was actually written", "Skip unchanged versions and manifest-only repairs", "Best-effort, non-interactive, non-blocking", "Group VERSION + CHANGELOG + TODOS.md ...", "Only the final VERSION/CHANGELOG commit gets the release version and co-author trailer", "use the first changed component ... (major/minor/patch/micro") -> kept ALREADY_BUMPED, the stale "skip if ALREADY_BUMPED" ban, `baseVersion`/`currentVersion`, absent fourth component is zero, no automatic rebump, digest tokens and pre-push digest check, no Git tag, commit-before-push order; gate E2E ship-local-workflow (gate). - Coverage/design prose ("Count each generation-authorized attempt ...", "including the initial audit, failures and zero-test results", "Two passes already used ...", "read-only reassessment uses no pass", design-lite ownership, same path/line merge, specialist stats, distinct defects) -> kept the 2-pass and 30/5/2-minute limits, re-entry never resets, missing permission is not approval, audit-only header/override order/no commit/ return decisions, child JSON, one item with both sources and stricter ASK, neither pass substitutes; gate E2Es ship-coverage-audit, ship-coverage-value (gate). Design-review-lite E2E is periodic, so the merge rule keeps its free meaning check here. - Spec/title/comment prose ("existing open PR/MR", "one match supplies the existing title/identity", "Save the result for Step 19's recheck", "In a new shell, restore ...", "Partial, deferred, failed, dropped or unverified scope uses ...", "newest", "Try to auto-resolve if they are simple", "distinguish an app from a library/CLI", "If the ask is App Store/ TestFlight distribution", "a new package.json or Cargo.toml alone ...", "After edits, the full re-review repeats ...") -> judge `ship/SKILL.md workflow` (gate lane); ship-apple-gate (free) for the Apple route. Kept as case-insensitive meaning checks (stop/consent/approval/safety, always kept): never invent credentials, ask for unknown targets first, include the workflow in tests/review, frontmatter read as data never shell source, exact spec_branch match, positive-integer issue number, Closes #N only for fully completed scope, lookup failure/ambiguous match -> stop never "no PR", never publish an unprefixed title, ambiguous conflicts -> stop, AskUserQuestion and wait, unclear Apple target -> AskUserQuestion and wait, confirmed app -> stop and Read, stop for repair (recommended) or accept each named probe risk, skipping a fix is not risk acceptance, accepted risk is not passing verification, queue without editing in Steps 10/11, never credit outside coverage, do not report a clean review, unavailable outside challenge never resets the three-cycle limit, records mismatch blocks release, missing snapshots block regardless of HEAD, uncertain edits cannot be exempted, scripts/dependencies/runtime config need live tests, named testing gap A/B/C (recommended), reuse prior B only for same scope, declared but unavailable suite blocks, explicit untested-scope approval, report the gap never FRESH, no documentation writer after push, do not run create commands for an existing PR, Greptile status truthfulness.

Cosmetic pins dropped: STOP / ONE / ONLY capitals and bold (t07 F2). Mutation log: .context/mutation-ship-workflow-clarity.md (23 mutations, 0 unexpected: 4 reorders, 4 markers, 9 safety red; 6 rewordings green, all of which turned the old test red). * test(W7c): qa-exploratory-callers keeps phase order and authority, drops duplicated prose W7c (t04 F8, F16). One test file; only the generated-parent-path and runner-prompt pins change. The validator-backed caller tests (observer, checkpoint causality, read-only diff grammar, write watcher, deadline authority) are unchanged. Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection): - Parent-path loop and preparation pins duplicated from qa-probe-gates (Reads in order, "Reuse Step 4's surfaces ...", "Finish missing methods before charters", isolation preflight, shared preparation order, the six plan-execution sentences, the three shared loop contracts) -> owned by qa-probe-gates (free, every host, with semantic mutation controls). - Parent prose ("Templates cannot replace them", "Only the parent runs report-only discovery", "Read agent/user updates and await results ...", report-clean and not-run list duplicates of qa-caller-authority) -> caller observer attribution tests in this file (free) and gate E2Es review-exploratory-small-cli, ship-exploratory-small-cli (gate); report gates stay in qa-caller-authority (free, every host). - Shared-loop duplicates (preserve key/value, Q supplies observed, write the report, return to step 2, pass requires) -> qa-probe-gates / qa-caller-authority; kept the observationCommand/observed field definitions and identity-hash rule here. - Runner harness prompt sentences (t04 F16: receipt-interface prose, appendSystemPrompt rules, scheduling prompt) -> reduced to one anchor per rule; `at most ${maxTurns} assistant turns`, maxTurns/timeout/reserve values, `(probe-...)`, `reports/review.md`, and every `not.toMatch` scenario-answer ban stay. validateCallerEvidence remains the behavioral oracle. Kept as case-insensitive meaning checks: phase order 1-4 per caller, review readiness follows report-only rules and never installs/imports cookies/bootstraps, smoke stop at 5 minutes or 12 probes, G enforces the deadline, never reset D/bypass G, plan checks remain required past the smoke budget, /review incomplete and /ship blocked unless the user accepts the named risk, repeat step 3 for affected checks, harness keeps parent decision gates, turn limit never authorizes skipping work, never group probes, Hard deadline UTC rule, HANDOFF.md read before completed records, no checkpoint for deferred ideas. Cosmetic pins dropped: AND / Never capitals. Mutation log: .context/mutation-qa-exploratory-callers.md (15 mutations, 0 unexpected: 2 reorders, 2 markers, 6 safety red; 5 rewordings green). * test(W7h): pin the CEO /office-hours prerequisite structure free Replacement check for the plan-ceo-review-benefits paid retirement (t14 F7). The paid case had a model summarize plan-ceo-review/SKILL.md and grep the summary for "office hours" and "design doc". The rendered text is static, so this free test checks it directly: the Prerequisite Skill Offer triggers on the design-doc check's "No design doc found", offers 'A) Run /office-hours now' and 'B) Skip — proceed with standard review', does not re-offer later in the session, and Mid-session detection (0A) offers `/office-hours`. Per the Eng Retirements item, CEO invariants become periodic-only once this gate case retires, so they keep this structural free check. Control (scratch worktree, generated plan-ceo-review/SKILL.md): removing the /office-hours option, the no-design-doc trigger, the mid-session offer or the no-re-offer rule goes red; rewording the pitch stays green (5/5). Log: .context/mutation-ceo-benefits.md. * test(W7h): retire the paid SKILL.md-summary cases in skill-e2e-plan W7h retirement (t14 F6-F8): office-hours-spec-review, plan-ceo-review-benefits and codex-offered-{office-hours,ceo-review,design-review,eng-review}. Each asked a model to read a generated SKILL.md, write a summary, and grepped the summary for facts the generated file states directly. Registration cleanup in the same commit: E2E_TOUCHFILES, E2E_TIERS (all six gate) and E2E_KINDS (rule) in test/helpers/touchfiles-data.ts; six scripts/paid-test-durations.json case-shard entries; no test/helpers/periodic-exclude-data.ts entries existed. The fast PR profile (scripts/test-pr-profile.ts) drops plan-ceo-review-benefits and office-hours-spec-review from PR_PROFILE_CASE_IDS and PR_PROFILE_FILES. Tests that named the retired ids as live examples move to existing ones: paid-free-boundary and paid-pr-profile (a CEO template change now plans auq-format-gate plus the CEO judge; the case-shard fixture uses plan-review-report), test-pr-profile, touchfiles (CEO selection count 21 -> 19), the touchfile-moved-code w5 golden (retired ids removed), the behavior-lane case-shard census (78 -> 72) in cookie-validation-phases, and the skill-e2e-plan timeout list and full-gate PR floor (78,425 -> 72,755 s) in paid-retry-supervision. e2e-tier-alignment, eval-kinds, eval-detach-timeout-floor and paid-shards stay green. Coverage consequence: per the Eng Retirements item, plan-ceo-review-benefits was the only gate-tier CEO E2E in the fast PR profile, so CEO invariants are treated as periodic-only under the W7c gate (every CEO conversion in this branch keeps one free check per invariant); the gate judge 'plan-ceo-review/SKILL.md modes' still runs for CEO prompt changes. An office-hours prompt change now has no fast PR E2E and is reported as deferred to broad coverage rather than run. Retirement cards: - office-hours-spec-review: detects the Spec Review Loop's stated dimensions, dispatch tool, iteration cap and metrics. Replacement: gen-skill-docs.test.ts 'SPEC_REVIEW_LOOP resolver' (round-3 cap, prepare/check/finalize commands, verdict and round-file wiring) and test/office-hours-review.test.ts (verdict parsing). Control: changing the round limit in scripts/resolvers/spec-review.ts turns gen-skill-docs red. - plan-ceo-review-benefits: detects the CEO /office-hours prerequisite and mid-session offer. Replacement: gen-skill-docs.test.ts 'plan-ceo-review offers /office-hours when no design doc exists and detects a lost user mid-session' (previous commit). Control: 4/4 red mutations there. - codex-offered-* (x4): detects the `command -v codex` probe, a fallback and optionality. Replacement: gen-skill-docs.test.ts 'Codex outside voice is offered behind an executed availability probe' (probe + not_installed fallback for all four skills) and skill-validation.test.ts 'plan reviews run the Codex outside voice default-on'.

Controls log: .context/mutation-skill-e2e-plan-retirements.md. * test(W7h): delete the codex-offering prompt builder left unused by the retirement Dead-code follow-up to the codex-offered-* retirement: buildCodexOfferingPrompt (test/helpers/codex-offering-fixture.ts) had no caller besides those cases. Deletes the helper, its free test (test/codex-offering-fixture.test.ts), the two captured public fixtures it replayed, its scripts/free-test-durations.json entry, and the helper/fixture paths still listed as touchfiles of six plan review E2Es in test/helpers/touchfiles-data.ts. Retirement card: - test: codex-offering-fixture.test.ts (pinned the builder's prompt text and replayed captured timeout/CDD transcripts against it). - detects: changes to a prompt that no paid case sends any more. - non_test_callers: none (grep -rn codex-offering test scripts is empty). - replacement: none needed; the behavior it supported is now the free probe check in gen-skill-docs.test.ts. - validation: bun test test/touchfiles.test.ts test/touchfiles-map-diff.test.ts test/paid-shards.test.ts test/e2e-tier-alignment.test.ts; bun run typecheck. * test(W7h): delete validateOfficeHoursSpecSummary left unused by the retirement Dead-code follow-up to the office-hours-spec-review retirement: validateOfficeHoursSpecSummary in test/helpers/office-hours-completion.ts graded only that paid case's model-written summary. Deletes it and its free describe block in test/office-hours-completion.test.ts ('office-hours spec-review summary completion'); every other validator and test in both files is unchanged. Retirement card: - detects: a summary missing five dimensions, the Agent dispatch, the 3 iteration cap or the four metrics. - non_test_callers: none. - replacement: the facts it graded are pinned free on the generated text by gen-skill-docs.test.ts 'SPEC_REVIEW_LOOP resolver' (round-3 cap and loop wiring); see the retirement commit's control. - validation: bun test test/office-hours-completion.test.ts. * test(W7h): drop the no-op review-report check from setup-gbrain-remote W7h retirement (t12 F9) of one assertion in the paid setup-gbrain-remote case. No registration changes (the case stays). Retirement card: - assertion: `expect(/## GSTACK REVIEW REPORT|critical_gaps/i .test(result.output)).toBe(false)` with its comment. - detects: /setup-gbrain writing a plan-review report or critical_gaps findings, which it never produces; the removed comment itself said "Setup-gbrain doesn't have a review report contract". Copied from the plan-review tests (c118e24, #2572). - non_test_callers: none. - replacement: none needed; `grep -rln "PLAN_FILE_REVIEW_REPORT\|GSTACK REVIEW REPORT\|critical_gaps" setup-gbrain/*.tmpl setup-gbrain/sections/*.tmpl` is empty, so there is no behavior to control. The case's real contracts stay: the secret token never reaches CLAUDE.md, `mcp add ... --transport http`, and `Mode: remote-http` (read by bin/gstack-gbrain-detect). - validation: bun test test/skill-e2e-setup-gbrain-remote.test.ts (skips without EVALS; module loads). * test(W7h): delete incompleteFirstFileView, which no paid case uses W7h retirement (task scope: "incompleteFirstFileView + its free test in test/shared-libs-fixture.test.ts if no paid case uses it"). `grep -rn incompleteFirstFileView test scripts` showed only the export in test/helpers/shared-libs-eval-fixture.ts and its own free describe block; no paid case or grader calls it, so the helper and the two tests that pinned it are dead code. Retirement card: - test: shared-libs-fixture.test.ts 'incompleteFirstFileView (census 36641820398 shared-libs-pr-coverage)' (2 tests). - detects: regressions in a page-1 recovery classifier nothing consumes. - non_test_callers: none. - replacement: none needed; the shared-libs page budgets that a recovery read is charged to stay enforced by the kept budget function and its tests. - validation: bun test test/shared-libs-fixture.test.ts (241 pass); bun run typecheck. * test: update the periodic release floor for the opus-5-5 overlay case paid-retry-supervision.test.ts 'detached PR fallback and release commands cover their actual default worker budgets' was red on the integrated base 23a0be82d (green on f30b7b7): 737bf478d (E2, "dedicated-tools overlay case pinned to claude-opus-5-5") added a periodic file, so the recomputed periodic release floor is 33,852 s, not the pinned 33,821 s. Updates the pinned floor and the two-tier sum (55,546 -> 55,577 s); the detached release wall (116,700 s) still exceeds the recomputed census wall plus 120 s, which the same test asserts, so package.json does not change. eval-detach-timeout-floor stays green. * test(E1): pin CLAUDE.md facts, /ship step references and state-root literals New free test test/instruction-facts.test.ts (CEO/DX/Eng E1 items; DX-13 one named test() per check, each failure prints both values, file:line and the fix): - 'CLAUDE.md names every TREE_MUTATING file and does not call the set empty': imports TREE_MUTATING from scripts/test-free-shards.ts (today test/bootstrap-retention.test.ts). - 'CLAUDE.md states the current catalog ceiling from test/catalog-budget.test.ts': the "`CATALOG_BUDGET_TOKEN_EQUIVALENTS` (N today" value must equal the constant (1,194). - 'CLAUDE.md points at package.json for detach timeouts instead of stating numbers': no eval:bg* --timeout value appears in CLAUDE.md (plain or with commas), and the detach section names package.json's eval:bg:gate / eval:bg:periodic and states no timeout number. - 'every explicit /ship Step reference names a defined /ship step with the expected title': matches only `/ship Step N` and `/ship's Step N` (backticked or not) across every .tmpl and scripts/resolvers/; each must be a table row whose step is a heading in ship/SKILL.md.tmpl or ship/sections/*.md.tmpl whose title contains the row's subject, and the reference's line or enclosing heading must mention that subject; stale rows fail. Today: document-release release-body Step 7 -> /ship Step 14 (TODOS.md), plus the incident-history comment in scripts/resolvers/constants.ts ("/ship Step 18"), kept as a historical row with a reason (handoff: that comment's step is stale; the dispatch is Step 14.5). - 'negative control: moving a reference to another existing /ship step fails': rewrites the TODOS reference to Step 12 in memory and asserts the checker reports it. - 'every ~/.gstack/projects/ and ~/.gstack/analytics/ hit is allowlisted with a reason' and 'every state-root allowlist row still matches a hit': all 37 current hits in .tmpl and scripts/resolvers/ are covered by 36 rows, each with one of four reasons (user-facing description; gbrain context_queries manifest glob read literally by bin/gstack-brain-context-load.ts; source comment; pending conversion tracked in TODOS.md). The readiness-gate EVAL_DIR rows reuse the reason from test/state-root-ratchet.allowlist.json. New hits fail, and converting a literal fails until its row is deleted. Mutation pass (scratch worktree): 15/15 as expected; drifting the catalog number in CLAUDE.md or the constant, dropping or emptying TREE_MUTATING text, adding a TREE_MUTATING key, copying a detach timeout into CLAUDE.md, moving/undefining/retitling a /ship reference, a new /ship reference, a new state-root literal and a converted allowlisted literal all go red; unrelated rewording stays green. Log: .context/mutation-instruction-facts.md. * test: integration repairs after F2 (calibration test renders the AUQ format; census counts and release floors without the reverted overlay case) * chore: constants comment names the /ship documentation dispatch, not a stale step number * test: office-hours-auto-mode joins the fast PR profile (replaces the retired office-hours-spec-review probe) * docs: TODOS for the Opus 5.5 prompt-cleanup deferrals * fix(state-root): design-doc discovery reads $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/projects DESIGN_DOC_DISCOVERY and autoplan's Step 2 design-doc lookup read the literal ~/.gstack/projects path, so under a non-default state root they missed the docs office-hours writes. The block now globs "$GSTACK_STATE_ROOT"/projects, and each caller's bash block (autoplan, plan-ceo/devex/eng-review, the spec-review prerequisite recheck) resolves the root with the guarded gstack-paths eval first. Allowlist: drops the autoplan ls row, both _LOCALDOC rows and the resolver source-comment row from STATE_ROOT_ALLOWLIST. Tests: the eng Design Doc Check fixture installs gstack-paths and seeds docs under a non-default root; the CEO discovery fixture passes an explicit GSTACK_STATE_ROOT. * chore: regenerate SKILL.md and context budget after design-doc discovery state-root change * fix(state-root): history, report and ledger paths name $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT Agent-facing read/write paths that named the literal ~/.gstack default now name the state root their writers use: - canary-history.jsonl and health-history.jsonl (the blocks above already resolve the root and print PROJECT_DIR) - ios-design-review report: adds {{SLUG_SETUP}} so the report path is the PROJECT_DIR it prints - plan-tune dream-cycle gate's distillation-proposals.json - retro's skill-usage and eureka reads: read the path gstack-retro-metrics prints (it already checks $_gstack_sr_root/analytics) - ship's apple-effects.log durable-effect ledger and the gstack-evidence ledger description (bin/gstack-evidence writes under resolveStateRoot()) Allowlist: drops the nine matching PENDING rows from STATE_ROOT_ALLOWLIST. * chore: regenerate SKILL.md, ship goldens and context budget after history/ledger state-root paths * fix(state-root): taste-profile legacy fallback globs $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT designs The legacy approved.json fallback in {{TASTE_PROFILE}} (design-consultation, design-shotgun) named the literal ~/.gstack/projects path while the approval writers use $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/projects/$SLUG/designs. Allowlist: drops the design.ts PENDING row. Pin (W7a): design-consultation-contract's exact glob string becomes a meaning-level check (legacy fallback names the state-root designs dir and approved.json, and no ~/.gstack literal). * chore: regenerate SKILL.md and context budget after taste-profile state-root glob * fix(state-root): completion-status telemetry prose names $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/analytics gstack-skill-end writes analytics under the resolved state root ($_GH), so the PLAN MODE EXCEPTION note now names $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/analytics/ instead of the ~/.gstack default. Allowlist: drops the generate-completion-status.ts PENDING row. Pin (W7a): gen-skill-docs 'render documents the analytics sink' now checks that the render names the state-root analytics dir. * chore: regenerate SKILL.md, ship goldens and context budget after telemetry prose state-root change * fix(state-root): gbrain context_queries globs use {gstack_state_root}/ bin/gstack-brain-context-load.ts resolves the {gstack_state_root}/ prefix through gstack-paths (configuredStateGlob); the legacy ~ form only matched the default root. The nine projects/analytics manifest globs in design-consultation, design-shotgun, investigate, office-hours, plan-ceo-review and retro now use the prefix, as does office-hours' builder-profile developer-profile.json glob (plan-tune writes it under $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT). Allowlist: drops the nine MANIFEST_GLOB rows and the now-unused MANIFEST_GLOB and PENDING reasons; the header lists the remaining row kinds. Tests: new brain-context-load case loads the shipped investigate and office-hours queries against a configured root and proves a file only under ~/.gstack is not read. * chore: regenerate SKILL.md and context budget after manifest state-root globs * plan-tune, office-hours, retro: read gate and profile files from the state root (E1 follow-up) * chore: regenerate plan-tune, office-hours, retro * release: v1.91.15.0 — Opus 5.5 prompt cleanup, behavior-level skill tests, transcript consent * test: calibration-gate scan reads tracked files with POSIX paths (windows-free-tests) * test: skillify E2E sweeps the state root (GSTACK_HOME) where the global tier actually writes * qa-only: one rule for mixed-run clocks; annotations and materialize are per probe directory * chore: regenerate qa-only * test: shared-libs evals deliver the skill instructions in context, as a loaded skill does * Revert design-doc discovery state-root conversion: it made plan-eng-review ask its scope gate in prose (plan-mode no-op eval) * chore: regenerate after design-doc discovery revert * test: plan-review-report prompt asks plainly to save the review to plan.md * docs: CHANGELOG and TODOS reflect the held design-doc discovery conversion * docs: exact eval counts for the held design-doc conversion * test: coverage-audit grader accepts read-only git diff with a -- pathspec (CI run 37094035231 shape) * qa: plain self-regulation stop rule; drop the report template's link to an index.md nothing writes * chore: regenerate qa * qa: --quick sets both tier and exploration; say how browser phases and functional contracts share the probe loop * chore: regenerate qa * test: a bare QA helper invocation is a usage probe, like --help (CI run ship-exploratory-unavailable)	2026-10-03 01:19:03 -07:00
Garry TanandOpenAI Codex	9f81911136	v1.86.0.0 feat: route outside reviews by harness (#2850) ... * feat: add a restricted and supervised Claude Code runner Preserve configured authentication and models while enforcing tool access, strict completion JSON, bounded output and process cleanup. Cover argv, failure handling, session metadata and Windows process containment. * feat: route outside reviews by harness and migrate wrapper installs Use Claude Code from Codex and Codex from other supported hosts, with shared invocation rendering, positive gate validation and per-phase provenance. Rename /claude to /claude-code, repair managed shared and copied installations safely, and generate native Kiro skills. Add installed-workflow, failure-injection and live cross-harness regression coverage. * test: recognize CEO mode labels without terminal spacing The paid workflow rendered SCOPEEXPANSION at option 4, but its driver required a literal space. Match the leading mode title without cursor-spacing artifacts and ignore adjacent preview text. Preserve missing-target failures and downstream posture assertions. * test: isolate plan-count fixtures before starting review workflows Seed the complete test plan in a private git repository before launching Claude, so a bare slash command cannot review the live workspace while a delayed fixture message remains queued. Preserve count thresholds, parsers and budgets. Add initial-context and installed-discovery tests, and retain startup/terminal diagnostics on failed evaluations. * test: stabilize review fixtures and Claude eval startup Preserve source boundaries in workflow judge inputs, isolate CEO mode plans, and wait for interactive trust input readiness. Keep startup failure evidence and retain existing models, budgets, and assertions. Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * test: classify collapsed review modes and isolate seeded findings Keep review questions out of the setup count when terminal cursor positioning removes spaces. State existing webhook safeguards so the five-finding control measures its seeded defects without accidental extra security and concurrency gaps. Preserve question bands and the paired control.

Add an isolated GC/listener regression that fails on Bun 1.3.13, and prevent coordinated rollback to an affected CI runtime. Check renderer cleanup against the render's own staging directory so concurrent renders cannot invalidate the assertion. Make the no-pgrep process-tree walk tolerate disappearing /proc entries, and synchronize its test fixture through child readiness and pipe EOF instead of sleeps. Validation: 9,157 passed, 31 skipped, zero failures across 556 files with retries disabled. Build, all-host generation freshness, and skill checks passed. All three races have failing-before/passing-after regressions. * fix: count completed native review questions in evals * fix: drive review navigation from confirmed native choices * fix: require complete section-loading eval reports * test: isolate telemetry HTTP transport from local assertions * fix: keep review input on the active native question * test: let tunnel revocation daemon choose an available port * test: allocate available ports for pairing and watchdog fixtures * fix: stabilize planning eval navigation and phase reporting * test: isolate installed runtime paths in planning evals * test: stabilize review evidence and concurrent refresh fixtures * fix: resolve design findings before editing the plan * fix: honor and persist disabled outside plan reviews * fix: preserve planning decisions and terminal evidence Load installed host reviews at autoplan phase entry and wait for completed reviewers and saved artifacts. Reuse approved remedies while preserving individual finding decisions. Drive interactive evals from the current terminal viewport, bind native questions across scrolling, and require complete native report evidence. Cover captured stale menus, permission lifecycles, setup classification, and disabled-review tool availability with deterministic regressions. Advance release metadata and the upgrade migration to the unclaimed 1.83.0.0 slot. * fix: drive native review questions and preserve current plans Use the native single-choice keyboard protocol and current terminal viewport, with per-question navigation inside packets and completed-call coverage. Keep permissions, multi-select menus, and Submit controls distinct. Send Autoplan reviewers the amended implementation plan, keep its review record separate, and supply retained application contracts in the chain fixture. Clarify individual DevEx decisions and complete CEO fix options; use one active plan destination for the section-loading report. * fix: preserve complete plan-review decisions * fix: recognize native plan dialogs and reviewer controls * fix: preserve review decisions and phase completion * fix: recognize completed reviews without losing findings * fix: preserve review continuity and native eval completion * test: fix native review completion and eval retry isolation * test: handle native review menus and complete eval fixtures * test: fix native review setup, completion, and isolation failures * test: limit native skill discovery to runtime assets * fix: bind Autoplan reviews to full ordered phase inputs * test: fix planning eval routing, counting, and timeout handling * chore: advance queued release to v1.84.0.0 * fix: preserve complete review inputs and planning decisions * fix: reconcile review approvals and preserve phase obligations * fix: preserve review obligations and unblock eval permissions Carry recorded Autoplan requirements into blind phase inputs, require Eng review approvals before exit, and exercise combined asynchronous flows in CEO reviews.

Recognize required legacy coverage and public Autoplan completion recaps. Bind the pending Edit confirmation to its exact file, ordered digest, and one-request approval when a preceding command display remains visible. Keep reviews within their existing size limits and preserve scope gates when extracting workflow fixtures from either supported preamble header. Keep failure outcomes, review thresholds, provider choices, and eval budgets. * fix: recover review workflow progress and eval evidence * fix: recognize valid review evidence and scope selection * test: fix review evidence parsing and repeated artifact prompts * test: recognize valid review decisions and pending native cards * fix(plan-eng-review): keep final navigation consistent with approved tasks * test: recognize valid review evidence and bind legacy diff requests * fix: stabilize review eval evidence and harness repair guidance * docs: update project documentation for v1.85.0.0 Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * test: fix Windows CI fixtures and credential scan Rebase captured JSON values and filesystem evidence using the appropriate path convention. Compile native fake CLIs on Windows and synchronize pipe holder readiness, with cleanup retained when assertions fail. Assemble synthetic credential fixtures at runtime so the added-line scan keeps enforcing the same gate without flagging its own rejection controls. Discover generated skills directly for the empty-find regression check, avoiding a recursive scan through saved evaluation artifacts and dependencies. * fix: preserve source renders on Windows Compare canonical generator paths using native separators so an output sidecar pointing at the source cannot overwrite its skill or metadata. Keep the regression fixture isolated from the real checkout and expose freshness diagnostics before asserting subprocess status. Detach Windows drain-test pipe holders from the fake provider's automatic child cleanup while preserving the enclosing runner job and its assertions. * fix: clarify outside review fallback and CEO decisions Render one applicable own-harness fallback path and retain native review, disabled policy, and missing-coverage semantics. Align report field names and mode labels, and make the existing per-cut scope approval explicit. Regenerate skill outputs and keep the workflow judge's model, thresholds, and retry policy unchanged. * chore: move release to free version slot (v1.86.0.0) PR #2852 now claims v1.85.0.0. Align the release metadata and rename migration so upgrades from that version still receive it.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5	394db326f2	v1.71.0.0 feat: token-load reduction — preamble runtime scripts, gated onboarding, 20 skill carves, CLAUDE.md trim (#2691) ... * feat(gen): strip gen-time-only frontmatter keys from Claude renders interactive + benefits-from are read from the .tmpl by buildContext at generation time; no runtime, host, or test reader consumes them from the generated SKILL.md (e2e-harness-audit reads .tmpl; benefits-from tests assert rendered prose). gbrain: stays (bin/gstack-brain-context-load reads it from the installed render); hooks: stays (Claude Code host wires PreToolUse from it). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(gen): regenerate SKILL.md — dead frontmatter keys removed Mechanical regen after hosts/claude.ts stripFields change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(test): context-budget ratchet — CI ceilings on always-on + eager token ledgers New free test grades the two ledgers nothing else guards: the full-frontmatter always-on catalog (aggregate) and per-skill eager tokens (SKILL.md + forced-read refs), via checkBudget from lib/context-bill.ts. Ceilings live in test/fixtures/context-budget.json with x1.05/x1.10 headroom; regenerate with bun test/helpers/capture-context-budget.ts. New skills fail until consciously budgeted; removed skills fail until the fixture is refreshed; reductions ratchet the ceilings down so wins lock in. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(todos): file output-template carve wave + plan-ceo doctrine revisit; mark preamble-carve P3 in flight Two follow-ups deferred from the approved token-reduction program (CEO review 'NOT in scope' list), filed with full context per TODOS format. The existing P3 preamble-carve entry gets a status update pointing at the program that supersedes it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): review findings — Windows path normalization, full totals rebuild, ratchet coverage Pre-landing review (5 specialists) found one critical: the ratchet test runs in the curated Windows lane, where path.relative yields backslash skill names that miss the test/ filter and mismatch every POSIX fixture key. Names are now normalized once in buildRatchetBill (toPosixName) and the fixture filter is tightened to test/fixtures/. All eight Bill.totals fields are rebuilt from the filtered list (no fixture-polluted perInvocation/totalMd numbers for future consumers). New coverage: Windows-separator normalization pins, a captureContextBudget round-trip against tree-a (headroom math exact), a stripFields regression pin (interactive/benefits-from absent from renders, hooks/gbrain preserved), and the ceilings test no longer double-reports stale-fixture entries. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): adversarial findings — stable root key, symlink-alias dedupe, fixture-shape guard Adversarial review (Claude subagent) verified the fixture's root-skill key was the capture machine's checkout dirname: any non-gstack-named clone (every Conductor worktree) failed the free suite, and the documented re-run-the-capture recovery baked the local dirname into the committed fixture — silent corruption through the tool's own protocol. The root skill is now pinned to ROOT_SKILL_KEY ('gstack', its frontmatter name). Symlink aliases are realpath-deduped (census precedent): connect-chrome no longer gets its own ceiling, so Windows checkouts that materialize the symlink as a plain file can't fail the stale-ceiling set-equality test. New guards: fixture-shape validation (a string alwaysOnTotal can no longer silently disable the ceiling), a mutation pin that the filter shrinks the always-on ledger vs the raw bill, an alwaysOnTotal violation test (the branch was load-bearing with only under-budget coverage), and an atomic temp+rename fixture write. Fixture regenerated: 59 ceilings, alwaysOnTotal 6344. Deferred with a TODO: anchoring transformFrontmatter's denylist strip to the frontmatter block (latent, zero live collisions, pre-existing path). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.69.1.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: update project documentation for v1.69.1.0 CLAUDE.md: Token ceiling section documents the context-budget ratchet as the third guard (test file, fixture, new-skill budgeting, capture command). CONTRIBUTING.md: Tier 1 guard list gains a Context-budget ratchet bullet; the Adding-a-new-skill checklist gains the budget-capture step. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: pin exact guard semantics for the context-budget ratchet in CLAUDE.md Doc-review finding: "a third enforced ceiling" undercounted the guard family (skill-size-budget floors and parity ratios also watch these ledgers, relatively). Rephrased to match the ratchet test's own header: absolute ceilings vs relative floors/ratios. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(changelog): heaviest-skill claim matches the fixture (land-and-deploy edges review by 0.2%) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(bin): gstack-skill-start + gstack-skill-end — the preamble runtime, consolidated Absorbs the ~13KB of bash every tier-2+ SKILL.md inlined twice over (bootstrap fence + artifacts-sync fence) and the skill-end telemetry/sync fences. Same KEY: value STATUS-line contract the prose interprets, plus SKILL_START_PROTO handshake (OV5), SESSION_ID/TEL_START echoes, GSTACK_HOME-normalized state paths (EOV7), --parent-pid session identity (EOV5: $PPID inside the script is the ephemeral tool-call shell), OV4 sanitization of passthrough output, and a receipted daily artifacts pull (_receipted_git, brain-sync class, fail-closed). Per-line || true error style throughout (F3) — a mid-script failure never drops later STATUS lines. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gen): preamble resolvers emit a script invocation fence instead of inline bash generate-preamble-bash: ~6.3KB fence -> 4-line gstack-skill-start invocation (quoted-tilde pitfall handled: leading ~ interpolates through $HOME; env-var hosts keep $GSTACK_BIN) + degraded-mode prose (F1/EOV8: safe defaults, consent gates deferred-never-lost; OV5: proto rule). generate-brain-sync-block: ~6.8KB bash -> interpretation prose + the privacy stop-gate (stays inline until Phase 2's gated emission). generate-completion-status: telemetry fence -> one gstack-skill-end call with SESSION_ID/TEL_START handoff. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(gen): regenerate all skills + golden fixtures — inline preamble bash removed Mechanical regen after the resolver change: −12,628 lines across 52 renders (corpus 952K -> 806K render tokens; tier-2 skills −11-13KB each). Golden per-host ship fixtures refreshed from the fresh claude/codex/factory renders. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: skill-start contract suite + preamble A/B eval + touchfiles registration test/gstack-skill-start.test.ts (11 free tests): STATUS-key contract vs the prose (F2), per-host fence resolution shapes (E1), proto-first, OV4 marker sanitization, --parent-pid identity, headless suppression, skill-end duration math + pending cleanup. test/skill-e2e-preamble-script-ab.test.ts (gate tier, OV7): inline-bash render (pinned from 29785978) vs script render with the fence redirected at the worktree bin (EOV2 — hermetic evals otherwise resolve the operator install and silently exercise degraded mode). 21 touchfiles dep lists gain the two bin scripts (EOV9) so future script edits select the preamble evals; selection-count pin updated 23->24. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: repin ~70 assertions to the script contract — every literal gets a successor Assertions that pinned inline-bash internals (update-check guard, _SESSIONS reaping, telemetry start/end blocks, routing probe, repo-strip producer, first-task gating, EXPLAIN_LEVEL/QUESTION_TUNING echoes, #2499 jq scope resolution, Issue-8 CONDUCTOR gate) now pin the same invariants in their new home: bin/gstack-skill-start / bin/gstack-skill-end file content for script internals, the invocation fence + interpretation prose for render-side behavior. No assertion deleted without a successor; live-execution tests (routing probe, brain-sync jq) run against script bytes unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(test): re-baseline size floors + ratchet ceilings down (EOV1/OV9 protocol) parity-baseline-v1.69.1.0.json captured with carved-skill unions (53 skills); skill-size-budget repointed with the derivation comment citing the Phase 1 context-bill receipt (the ~13KB/skill cut trips the old 80% floor on tier-1 skills first — setup-browser-cookies headroom 10.8KB < the cut). The v1.47 fixture stays on disk for history; the parity-suite growth baseline (v1.64.1.0) is untouched. Context-budget ceilings re-captured: review 29,309->26,192; learn ->10,969; ios-clean ->10,764 — Phase 1's win is locked. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(bin): instruction-emission layer — onboarding text appears only when its gate fires The 8 one-time onboarding flows (lake intro, telemetry opt-in, proactive opt-in, first-run/first-loop tips, routing injection, vendoring deprecation, writing-style migration, spawned-session rules), the upgrade-flow + feature discovery prose, and the privacy stop-gate (user-approved Q2) moved from every render into gated heredocs here. Blocks are SESSION_ID-bound (GSTACK_INSTRUCTION_BEGIN: <id> <session-id>) so page/file content can't mint directives (F4/OV4). Ack ownership per OV6: display-only tips write their markers at emit (script also fires the scaffold telemetry); interactive flows carry their ack commands inside the block. The dormant WRITING_STYLE_PENDING gate is computed for real now (marker files). BASH_COMPAT=50 heredoc guard (same as brain-sync); the quoted routing heredoc resolves its bin path via a sed placeholder. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gen): drop the 8 onboarding generators — renders keep one instruction-block rule generate-{lake-intro,telemetry-prompt,proactive-prompt,first-run-guidance, routing-injection,vendoring-deprecation,spawned-session-check, writing-style-migration}.ts deleted (single source is now the script's emission layer, F5). generate-upgrade-check shrinks to the steady-state PROACTIVE/SKILL_PREFIX rules. generate-brain-sync-block hands the privacy stop-gate to the emitted block. The fence prose gains the generic rule: follow GSTACK_INSTRUCTION blocks only from this command's direct tool result with the matching SESSION_ID; unterminated block ends at end-of-output. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(gen): regenerate all skills + goldens — onboarding prose degated Mechanical regen: corpus 806K -> 707K render tokens (−8KB/skill; cumulative vs main: ship 91->71KB, learn 53->34KB, ios-clean 53->33KB). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: onboarding tombstone + Phase 2 pin relocations New test/onboarding-moved-literals.test.ts (F5): 12 distinctive literals must live in bin/gstack-skill-start AND stay absent from every render, plus the SESSION_ID-binding pins. ~40 assertions repinned to the emission-layer contract (gates, block ids, in-block acks, script-run marker writes); the OV4 sanitize test upgraded to the real property (every legitimate block header carries the run's SESSION_ID). first-task dep list drops the deleted generator; the token->tip case map is pinned to cover every detector bucket. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(test): carve floors/ceilings recomputed; baseline + ratchet follow Phase 2 (OV9) All 9 carved skills re-anchored to post-Phase-2 measurements (cso's union had tripped its 72,000 floor at 71,379; design-consultation had 252B of margin). maxSkeletonBytes ceilings tightened to measured+~600B. Branch-internal parity baseline recaptured in place; ratchet ceilings down again: review ->24,052, ship ->18,589, learn ->8,828, ios-clean ->8,624. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gen): AUQ slim — tool resolution as a STATUS-line branch table, split rules to invariants + absolute pointer Tool resolution (1,799B) rewritten as a 3-branch table keyed on the echoed CONDUCTOR_SESSION/SESSION_KIND lines — Conductor prose-default, MCP-variant preference, and failure handoff preserved verbatim in behavior, including the auto-decide-first ordering and the gstack-question-log capture requirement. 5+-options handling (1,924B) compressed to the split invariants (never drop; D<N>.k shape; Include/Defer/Cut/Hold; question_id scheme with the never-ask refusal) + the full-rule pointer. Both doc pointers now interpolate the absolute install root (Codex outside-voice #7 convention) instead of the bare 'in the gstack repo'. Failure-fallback, Format, and self-check sections are byte-identical — all 14 MANDATORY always-loaded pins pass with zero test edits. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(gen): regenerate all skills + goldens — AUQ slim Mechanical regen: −1.3KB per tier-2+ skill (ship 69.9KB, learn 32.5KB). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(test): baseline + ratchet follow Phase 3 (OV9); OV8 evaluated — shrink floor stays Branch-internal baseline recaptured; ratchet ceilings down again. OV8's floor-retirement question, evaluated as planned after Phase 3: the 80% shrink floor stays — it uniquely catches accidental body deletion in non-carved skills BETWEEN ratchet recaptures, and the capture command has amortized the fixture-refresh cost that motivated retiring it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(review): carve adversarial, plan-completion, and review-army into sections The three resolver macros ship already carves as siblings now load on demand for /review too: skeleton 100.2KB -> 55.0KB (-45%), union 93.4KB. Resolvers stay the single source of truth (sections wrap the macros). Step 0/1, scope drift, critical pass, confidence calibration, and fix-first stay always-loaded. Fixtures and pins follow the moved content (codex-hardening wrapped-sites, review-army E2E fixture builds skeleton+sections with an empty-fixture guard). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(codex): carve the three mutually exclusive modes into sections Review/Challenge/Consult mode bodies (34.7KB where at most one ever runs) load on demand: skeleton 81.0KB -> 55.2KB, union 1.04x the monolith. The mode dispatch, filesystem boundary, and a new always-loaded 'Synthesis recommendation (REQUIRED) — all modes' block stay skeleton-side (the AUQ per-skill pins pass unchanged); the plan-file report + exit gate render after the last section pointer per the gateAfterStop pattern. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(land-and-deploy): carve first-run validation, readiness gate, and merge/deploy into sections The once-per-repo dry-run validation, the pre-merge readiness gate, and the merge + deploy-strategy steps (37.8KB) load on demand: skeleton 91.1KB -> 55.7KB. Step 1.5 keeps its detection bash as the dispatch; the first-run section's fingerprint-save block gained {{SLUG_EVAL}} so it is self-contained. Zero content lost (line-coverage checked against HEAD). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(ios): demote the four ios skills to preamble-tier 2 (Phase 5) They never consume the tier-3 sections (repo-mode ownership, search-before- building) but do fire AskUserQuestion, which tier >=2 provides — verified by grep before the plan review. -2.2KB per skill. Render assertions pin the demotion (tier-3 sections absent, AUQ format present). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(guards): register wave-1 carves; monolith invariants retire; baselines + ratchet follow CARVE_GUARDS gains review/codex/land-and-deploy (12 carved skills total); their MONOLITH_INVARIANTS entries retire (invariants now generate from the registry, cso precedent). Touchfiles: carve-section-loading covers the three new carves; the codex + land-and-deploy LLM-judge dep lists widen to their sections. Regen + goldens + branch-internal baseline + ratchet ceilings recaptured (review 24,052 -> skeleton-based ceiling; union floors hold). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(gen-skill-docs): review render pins read the carved union The review carve's readSkillUnion conversions (same pattern its neighbor carved-skill pins already use). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(autoplan): carve the four review phases + tasks aggregator into sections Phase bodies (CEO/Design/Eng/DX consensus flows) and the Implementation Tasks aggregator load on demand; Design and DX stay separate sections because each is independently conditional on scope. Skeleton 83.7KB -> 58.7KB (-30% always-loaded); the 6 decision principles, classification, sequencing, and explicit skip-condition dispatch stay always-loaded. The chain E2E's phase-complete markers now live only in sections, so its assertions double as section-read proof (behavioral: external). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(spec): carve the post-confirmation gate-and-file tail into one section Phases 1-4 are the turn-1 conversational spine — carving them would force the Read on the first user message for zero real savings. The mechanical tail (4.5/4.5a/4.5b redaction gates + Phase 5 filing + TTHW telemetry) fires only after draft confirmation: a genuine lazy boundary, kept as ONE section so the gh-issue-create bash can never load without the fail-closed redaction gate that precedes it. Skeleton 65.4KB -> 50.7KB; all ~85 phase-structure invariants migrated location-aware plus a new carve-shape suite (56 tests). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(setup-gbrain): carve the branch-exclusive install paths into sections Brain-init (Paths 1/2/3/4 bodies), engine remediation, transcript gate, and CLAUDE.md persist load on demand — at most one install route ever runs. Skeleton 75.3KB -> 57.0KB; the Step 1 detect and Step 2 path dispatch stay always-loaded. New buildSetupGbrainFixture helper gives the periodic E2Es extract-don't-copy fixtures with a non-empty guard; the voyage-code-3 gate counts scan the tmpl union (the third init site lives in engine-remediation). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(guards): register wave-2 carves (15 carved skills); autoplan monolith retires; baselines follow CARVE_GUARDS gains autoplan (behavioral: external via the chain eval), spec, and setup-gbrain; autoplan's MONOLITH_INVARIANTS entry retires. Touchfiles: setup-gbrain periodic dep lists gain the section tmpls + fixture helper; the stale-brain-refs scan covers setup-gbrain/sections. Regen + goldens + branch baseline + ratchet recaptured. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(qa): carve QA patterns + health rubric into on-demand sections (68→48KB skeleton) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(browse): carve full command list + snapshot flags into sections/command-list.md (39→27KB skeleton) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(retro): absorb inline git/awk metrics into bin/gstack-retro-metrics + carve report format RETRO_METRICS_PROTO: 1 contract, local git reads only (fetch stays in the skill prose), degraded path documented in the skeleton. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: register wave-3 carves (qa, browse, retro) — guards, touchfiles, pins, baselines CARVE_GUARDS gains the three entries; qa's monolith invariant retires. auq-format carve-safety now keys on the skeleton+sections union shipping the AUQ block (first tier-1 carve: browse never renders it by design). Baselines: parity v1.69.1.0 at 18 sectioned skills; ratchet recaptured. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): drop stale generate-lake-intro import (generator deleted in the emission-layer move) Sol scope discipline stays pinned via the model overlay + completeness section; the lake intro is now a single script-emitted blurb. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(office-hours): carve Phase 2A/2B into mode-exclusive sections (81→67KB skeleton) A session runs exactly one mode, so a builder session never loads the 13KB startup diagnostic. Mode mapping and the vibe-shift upgrade rule stay in the skeleton. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(design): carve UX doctrine + Pretext patterns into read-on-demand sections design-html 57→49KB, design-shotgun 53→50KB. Sections wrap {{UX_PRINCIPLES}} so scripts/resolvers/design.ts stays the source of truth; the pretext-patterns STOP sits at the top of Step 3 so the read provably precedes the Write. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: register wave-4 carves (office-hours ext, design-html, design-shotgun) — 20 carved skills Both design entries carry requiredReads + loading-eval scenarios (D3A condition). office-hours phase sections are mode-exclusive, so only the always-reached design/handoff section is a deterministic requiredRead. Baselines and ratchet recaptured. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: trim CLAUDE.md 66.4→44.9KB — verbatim moves to docs/, pointers stay inline Moved: browser/sidebar/server internals, CHANGELOG release-summary format spec, project tree, hermetic-E2E detail, slop-scan reference, OpenClaw publishing. Kept inline: every hard behavioral rule (dist/ ban, redaction scan-at-sink, egress receipts, bisect commits, eval detach, CHANGELOG entry rules), the machine-managed GBrain block (byte-identical), and the '## Deploying to the active skill' header with gbrain-refresh in range (pinned by test/gbrain-refresh-install-render.test.ts). No voice rewrites. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): seed onboarding markers into the hermetic child GSTACK_HOME EOV7 made bin/gstack-skill-start honor GSTACK_HOME, so the operator-HOME seeding in e2e-helpers.ts no longer reaches hermetic children — the emission layer fired lake-intro/telemetry prompts that burned turns and stalled PTY tests waiting on an answer (observed: plan-mode-no-op derailed by the telemetry question). Onboarding-specific tests pin their own GSTACK_HOME per-test, which merges over this seed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: raise carve-section-loading wall clock to 480s SDK / 540s bun The heavy full-workflow scenarios satisfy their required section reads inside 60s but need 300-450s to finish the report on slower sandboxes; the 300s default read as a loading failure when the carve invariant held (traces: plan-eng-review read its section at 8s, office-hours all three at 24s, design-html both at 50s — all timed out mid-report). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(security): harden the skill-start trust boundary — review-army findings Session ID gains a urandom suffix (block binding unforgeable by reflected content); _sanitize also neutralizes spoofed SESSION_ID: lines; branch names are charset-clamped before JSON embedding (skill-start + skill-end); .brain-last-push reads first line only with a charset clamp; the artifacts URL echo routes through _sanitize; the privacy consent gate fires in interactive sessions only (spawned auto-choose could accept consent no human gave — emission order is not a safety property); the daily pull gets non-interactive + slow-network git guards and stamps only when the receipted path ran; ~/.claude.json gets a grep pre-filter before the jq parse. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(resolvers): question-log session_id becomes a substitution placeholder + stale-comment sweep The question-log block bound $_SESSION_ID, a shell variable the consolidated fence never sets — hook-less hosts logged empty session_id, breaking /plan-tune per-session grouping. It now uses the same substitute-from-the-skill-start-echoes contract as the telemetry block. Also: retired the pre-Phase-2 stop-gate docstring, repointed the gbrain-local-status cross-reference at the script's inline jq, dropped an orphaned section comment, documented retro-metrics' suffix-only census. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: regenerate renders for the question-log placeholder; goldens + baselines follow Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: hermetic update-check, onboarding gate sequencing, seeding parity The contract test's child did a live git ls-remote + curl to github.com on every bun run test (update_check config now gates it off); the headless test gets a fresh GSTACK_HOME so the suppression is actually exercised; a new OV6 test drives the script three times to pin ack-at-emit and gate sequencing; hermetic seeding covers the config-keyed privacy gate; the EVALS_HERMETIC=0 debug seeding reaches marker parity. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(ci): demote the preamble A/B to periodic (OV7) and add it to the periodic matrix Post-Phase-3 demotion per the plan; the eval needs fetch-depth 0 (it git shows a pre-Phase-1 sha), which only the periodic workflow provides — and a static matrix entry so it can't silently never run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.70.0.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: update project documentation for v1.70.0.0 ARCHITECTURE.md: the preamble section now describes the v1.70 runtime — the rendered {{PREAMBLE}} block invokes bin/gstack-skill-start and reads STATUS lines, gstack-skill-end logs telemetry, and one-time onboarding text arrives as gated GSTACK_INSTRUCTION blocks instead of riding in every render. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: doc-review fixes — repair moved-file links, drop unbacked session-count claim docs/BROWSER_INTERNALS.md: the two ARCHITECTURE.md anchor links broke when the section moved from repo-root CLAUDE.md into docs/ — now ../ARCHITECTURE.md. ARCHITECTURE.md: the preamble's session-tracking item claimed an active-session count and an "ELI16 mode" that no shipped code implements (the count computation was deleted with the inline preamble); describe the real touch-and-prune behavior instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(changelog): correct numeric claims against measured counts 50 of 62 installed skills dropped (fixture/alias entries have no preamble); 11 new carves + a deeper office-hours carve = 9→20; test counts match the files (13 / 11 / 3 / 7). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: repoint the preamble-runtime version reference after the queue rebump (v1.71.0.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(e2e-design): widen the Aesthetic synonym set — vocabulary variance, not a regression Both attempts in run 33090283032 produced judge-praised DESIGN.md files phrased as 'design principles'/'design language' without any of the four original literals; inputs were identical to the prior passing run 32899975845 (design-consultation untouched by the intervening merge). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): stage design-consultation's sections/ into the E2E fixture The skill has been carved since v1.57.0.0 — the DESIGN.md structure prescription (the AESTHETIC proposal template) lives in sections/proposal-and-preview.md behind a STOP-read. The fixture only copied SKILL.md, so the agent improvised structure from the skeleton and the section-synonym check has been a coin flip since the carve (CI run 33090283032 trace shows 'no sections dir'; the local eval store has the same failure on 2026-08-25 while that day's CI run passed on lucky vocabulary).

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8	e722c5bf89	v1.57.0.0 feat: carve-guard system + carve cso/document-release/design-consultation (#1907) ... * test: canonical CARVE_GUARDS registry; derive parity + size-budget from it Single source of truth for the carved-skill set + per-skill invariants (EQ1). parity-harness.ts sectioned entries and skill-size-budget.ts SECTIONS_EXTRACTED now derive from it instead of hand-maintained lists. Closes a pre-existing drift: plan-devex-review was in SECTIONS_EXTRACTED but had no sectioned parity invariant; now generated. carve-guards.ts is a pure leaf data module (import type only) to avoid an import cycle. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: shared carve-guard check fns with injectable root discoverCarvedSkills/checkOrdering/checkCompleteness take a root param so the negative tests can point the real guards at a fixture dir. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: E2 data-driven carve static ordering guard (gate) Per-PR backstop for every carved skill, one test() per skill, driven by CARVE_GUARDS staticInvariants. Generalizes + retires the ceo-specific ordering test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: E1 carve-guard completeness meta-guard (gate) Asserts filesystem carved set == CARVE_GUARDS set both directions, so a future carve without a registry entry fails CI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: ET1 guard-of-guards negative tests (gate) Temp fixture broken 3 ways proves E1/E2 actually throw, via the injectable root. Kills the silent-pass-guard failure class. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: T2 data-driven behavioral section-loading guard (periodic) One file iterating CARVE_GUARDS, one test() per skill with GSTACK_CARVE_SKILL cost-scoping (D-CODEX A). external carves (ship, plan-ceo) keep bespoke tests; testNames aligned to their touchfile keys. Registered in touchfiles. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: defer E3 real-session carve canary to TODOS Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: carve document-release into skeleton + on-demand section Steps 2-9 (per-file audit, auto-updates, risky-change asks, CHANGELOG voice polish, cross-doc consistency, TODOS cleanup, VERSION bump, commit + PR body) move to sections/release-body.md, read on demand after the Step 1.5 coverage map. Skeleton 59,256 -> 45,797 B (-23%); union preserved. Adds the CARVE_GUARDS entry (auto-extends parity + size-budget via EQ1). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: carve design-consultation into skeleton + on-demand section Phases 3-6 (complete proposal, drill-downs, design preview, writing DESIGN.md) move to sections/proposal-and-preview.md, read on demand after product context + research. Skeleton 80,719 -> 59,229 B (-27%); union preserved. Adds the CARVE_GUARDS entry. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: carve cso into skeleton + on-demand section (security-safe) Scope-dependent audit Phases 2-11 move to sections/audit-phases.md. Mode dispatch (## Arguments, ## Mode Resolution), always-run Phases 0/1, and the Phase 12 false-positive-filtering exceptions stay ALWAYS-LOADED in the skeleton. Skeleton 79,383 -> 65,117 B (-18%); union preserved. Adds a cso CARVE_GUARDS entry with an earliest-use invariant (mustPrecedeStop): mode dispatch must appear before any STOP-Read, so a directive that decides which sections to read can't be stranded behind the STOP that reads them (codex outside-voice #6). carve-guard-checks gains the mustPrecedeStop check. parity moves cso monolith -> generated carved entry. cso-preserved.test.ts strengthened: phrases checked against the union, plus an always-loaded contract on the skeleton (dispatch + FP-filtering, codex #5). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: make redaction/taxonomy tests union-aware for cso + document-release carves The cso carve moved Secrets Archaeology (prefixes, lib/redact-patterns.ts pointer, git-history scan) into sections/audit-phases.md, and the document-release carve moved the Step 9 PR-body redaction scan into sections/release-body.md. Three content-presence tests asserted that content in the skeleton SKILL.md/.md.tmpl; they now read the skeleton+sections union (same fix as cso-preserved + parity). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.57.0.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: address pre-landing review (codex) on the carve - cso section: add a scope-gate header so '--owasp' (and other scoped modes) run only their selected phases, not every phase bundled in the section ('execute in full' no longer overrides Mode Resolution). - carve-guard-checks: gateAfterStop now compares against the LAST STOP, not the first, so a gate stranded between two STOPs in a multi-STOP skeleton fails. - TODOS: behavioral section-loading hermeticity (verifier matches global-install path, not the fixture) — pre-existing in auq-sdk-capture.ts, deferred.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8	dedfe42ef0	v1.53.0.0 feat: smarter redaction — PII/secrets/legal guard across /spec, /ship, /cso, /document-* (#1797) ... * v1.51.0.0 feat: $B memory diagnostic + 4 CDP-resource leak fixes (#1751) * add withCdpSession + getOrCreateCdpSession helpers Two CDP-session lifecycle helpers in cdp-bridge.ts: - withCdpSession(page, fn): ephemeral session with try/finally detach. For one-shot CDP work (archive snapshots, $B memory, single Page.captureScreenshot) where the caller doesn't need session reuse. - getOrCreateCdpSession(page, cache): cached long-lived session that registers a page.once('close') hook to BOTH delete the cache entry AND call session.detach(). Pre-helper code only deleted the cache entry, leaving the Chromium-side CDP target attached until the underlying transport dropped. Pure addition. Existing callers untouched in this commit; they migrate in the next commit alongside the static-grep test that pins the invariant. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * migrate 3 CDP-session sites to lifecycle helpers Fixes the CDP-target leak class identified by /codex outside-voice on the eng review (D11 EXPAND_SCOPE). All three sites called `page.context().newCDPSession(page)` directly and either forgot the detach entirely (cdp-bridge cache cleanup), only detached on the success path (write-commands archive), or detached on framenavigated but not page-close (cdp-inspector). - cdp-bridge.ts: `getCdpSession` now delegates to `getOrCreateCdpSession`, which registers a `page.once('close')` hook that BOTH removes the cache entry AND calls `session.detach()`. - cdp-inspector.ts: same migration for the inspector's session pool. Keeps the existing framenavigated detach (more granular than close for DOM/CSS state invalidation) plus an inspector-layer close hook for the initializedPages WeakSet. - write-commands.ts archive: wraps Page.captureSnapshot in withCdpSession so the detach runs in `finally`, including the path where captureSnapshot throws. The static-grep tripwire (next commit) pins the invariant so future direct calls to newCDPSession fail CI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * add CDP-session cleanup tripwire + helper unit tests browse/test/cdp-session-cleanup.test.ts pins the invariant that no source file outside cdp-bridge.ts may call newCDPSession() directly. If a future refactor reintroduces the direct call, CI fails with a file:line list and a pointer to the right helper to use instead (withCdpSession for one-shot, getOrCreateCdpSession for cached). Also covers the helpers themselves with fake-Page unit tests: - withCdpSession detaches on success - withCdpSession detaches on throw (the actual leak fix) - withCdpSession swallows detach errors so they don't mask fn errors - getOrCreateCdpSession caches the session across calls - close hook detaches AND clears the cache Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * extract createSseEndpoint helper with cleanup contract browse/src/sse-helpers.ts owns the SSE cleanup invariant: cleanup runs on abort, enqueue failure, AND heartbeat failure, exactly once, regardless of which edge fires first. Pre-helper, /activity/stream and /inspector/events ran cleanup only on the req.signal.abort edge. If the underlying TCP died without firing abort (Chromium MV3 service-worker suspend, intermediate proxy half-close), the subscriber closure stayed in the Set capturing the ReadableStreamDefaultController plus any payloads queued behind it. Over a multi-day sidebar session this compounded into multi-MB of retained controllers per dead connection. Caller surface: initialReplay (optional, for gap replay or state snapshots), subscribe (live-event source), liveEventName (SSE event name for live wrap), heartbeatMs. send() helper handles JSON encoding with sanitizeReplacer + lone-surrogate stripping. Unit tests pin all three cleanup edges + idempotency + replay ordering + surrogate sanitization. Endpoint refactors land in the next commit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * route /activity/stream + /inspector/events through createSseEndpoint Both endpoints collapse from ~45 lines of in-line ReadableStream wiring to ~8 lines of helper config. Behavior preserved bit-for-bit by the new sse-helpers tests: - initial replay (activity gap + history, inspector state snapshot) - live event subscription - 15s heartbeat - SSE framing - sanitizeReplacer applied to every JSON.stringify The leak fix is the cleanup contract: pre-refactor, both endpoints ran cleanup only on req.signal.abort. If TCP died without firing abort (Chromium MV3 SW suspend, intermediate proxy half-close), the subscriber closure stayed in the Set forever capturing the ReadableStreamDefaultController + queued payloads. Post-refactor, an enqueue-failure or heartbeat-failure on a dead consumer triggers the same idempotent cleanup as abort would. Net: -83 / +15 in server.ts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * cap inspector modificationHistory at 200 entries Pre-cap, modificationHistory was an unbounded module-scoped array that grew for every CSS edit through $B css across the entire session. Small per-entry footprint but no upper bound, the kind of slow leak that compounds over multi-day inspector use. Cap is 200, oldest evicted on push past the cap. modHistoryTotalPushed stays monotonic across the session so undoModification can tell the user when their target index has been evicted, instead of just the opaque pre-cap "No modification at index 500" with no context. __testInternals export lets the cap + eviction error be unit-tested without spinning up a CDP-driven Page. Production code must continue to go through modifyStyle / undoModification / resetModifications. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * add BrowserManager.getMemorySnapshot() + shared types Diagnostic foundation for $B memory and the /memory endpoint that land in the next two commits. Collects: - Bun process memory via process.memoryUsage (cross-platform, accurate). - Per-tab JS heap via CDP Performance.getMetrics, lazy per tracked page, swallows target-died errors so a dying tab doesn't poison the snapshot for the rest. - Chromium process tree via SystemInfo.getProcessInfo (PID + type + CPU time). RSS is NOT exposed via CDP — the eng review (D2 USE_CDP) picked CDP over shelling to `ps`, so notes[] tells the caller why the RSS column is absent and points at the follow-up TODO. cdp-inspector exports getModificationHistoryStats so the snapshot can surface buffer occupancy + cap + evicted count without reaching into module-private state. memory-snapshot.ts holds the shared types so server.ts and read-commands can import without circular dep on browser-manager. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * add \$B memory command Registers 'memory' in META_COMMANDS, wires the meta-command dispatch to a lazy-imported handler in memory-command.ts. Lazy because the import graph (cdp-bridge + memory-snapshot + buffer accessors) isn't useful to projects that never run the diagnostic. The handler assembles MemoryStructureStats from the modules that own each buffer (cdp-inspector mod history stats, activity subscriber count, console/network/dialog buffer lengths, captureBuffer bytes, inspectorSubscriber count via a new server.ts export) and calls BrowserManager.getMemorySnapshot. Output is text by default, JSON with --json so the sidebar footer and test harness can consume it programmatically. buildMemorySnapshotJson is the entry the /memory endpoint will call in the next commit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * add /memory endpoint (SSE-session-cookie gated) GET /memory returns the BrowserManager memory snapshot as JSON. Auth matches /activity/stream and /inspector/events: Bearer header OR view-only SSE-session cookie (the extension fetches the cookie once via POST /sse-session, then polls /memory with withCredentials: true). Deliberately NOT extending /health for the sidebar footer poll — TODOS.md "Audit /health token distribution" records that /health already surfaces AUTH_TOKEN to any localhost caller in headed mode. A separate endpoint with the standard SSE auth keeps the future /health fix from cascading into the sidebar. sanitizeReplacer is applied at egress because tab.url and tab.title come from page content — lone-surrogate bytes from broken emoji could otherwise reach the sidebar and (when forwarded to Claude API) trigger HTTP 400. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * add sidebar footer RSS readout (polls /memory every 30s) Footer now shows "<bun-rss> · <tab-count>" sourced from the /memory endpoint, polled every 30s. Color thresholds: orange warn at 2 GB Bun RSS or 50 tabs; red bad at 8 GB or 200 tabs (matches the tab-guardrail threshold landing in a later commit). The footer gives the user an early signal that the cliff is forming, instead of only learning when the OS OOM-kills the process. Backoff per Codex's flag: if a poll takes > 2s response time the sidebar drops to a 5-minute cadence until the next successful fast poll. The diagnostic shouldn't add load to a browser that's already unhealthy. Start/stop is wired to the existing setServerInfo() hook so the timer only runs while the sidebar is connected to a server. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * stop materializing response bodies in requestfinished listener The Bun-side accelerant on the gbrowser-OOM investigation. Pre-fix, the per-page requestfinished listener called \`await res.body()\` just to read .length — Playwright fetches the bytes from Chromium across CDP into a Bun Buffer, only for the listener to discard the buffer after a single length read. On a long-lived headed browser with media-heavy pages this is multi-GB/hour of Buffer allocation churn. Bun GCs it, but the cross-process CDP traffic + transient allocation pressure feeds the OOM trajectory. The fix: req.sizes() pulls from the Network.loadingFinished event Chromium already emits. No body materialization. Accurate for chunked transfer, gzip-compressed responses, and streaming media — the cases where a naive Content-Length header read (the original review's proposal) would have missed the size entirely (Codex flag on the eng review, D10 USE_CDP_EVENT_BATCHED). The D10 stretch goal — replacing N per-page listeners with a single context-level CDP listener via Target.setAutoAttach — is deferred and tracked in TODOS. The listener architecture change is significantly more plumbing than the leak fix and not on the critical path for stopping the body materialization. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * tab guardrail (50/200 thresholds) + sidebar action toast Server side (browser-manager.ts): Idempotent threshold tracker fires an activity entry exactly once at each upward crossing of 50 (soft warn) and 200 (hard warn). Re-arms when the count drops below. Activity-feed surface gives the audit-trail invariant even with the sidebar closed; the toast UX lives in the sidebar. Sidebar side (extension/sidepanel.{html,css,js}): Every /memory poll evaluates two trigger conditions: - Any single tab > 4 GB JS heap (catches the WebGL/video runaway case Codex flagged on the eng review). - Tab count >= 200. Toast shows top 5 tabs ranked by max(jsHeap, nodes*1KB + listeners*200) so a WebGL-heavy tab with small JS heap still surfaces. Default-selected checkboxes + "Close selected" run \`\$B closetab <id>\` through the existing /command path — no chrome.tabs.remove bridge needed. "Snooze" bumps tabsAbove/heapAbove thresholds in chrome.storage.session so the toast stays hidden until the user accumulates more tabs OR one tab grows another 2 GB. Tests: browse/test/tab-guardrail.test.ts pins the server-side fires-once + re-arms invariants without spinning up Chromium. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * add memory-leak reproducer (gate tier) browse/test/memory-leak-reproducer.test.ts pins the invariant from the D10 fix: wirePageEvents.requestfinished must call req.sizes() but must NEVER call res.body(). Fakes a page emitting a burst of 200 requestfinished events, each with a notional 1 MB response — pre-fix this would allocate 200 MB of Buffer per burst, post-fix not one byte of body content is materialized. The test also asserts networkBuffer entries are still populated with the right size, so size reporting in the network panel doesn't regress. A real-Chromium peak-RSS reproducer (periodic tier) is deferred — see TODOS "Reproducer with WebGL / video / MSE buffer pressure". This gate-tier test is sufficient to catch the leak class being reintroduced by any future refactor of the requestfinished listener. Wall clock: ~400ms. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * TODOS: 4 follow-ups from gbrowser-OOM PR Captures the items deliberately deferred from the v1.49 leak-fix PR so the deferrals don't fall off the radar: - P2: MV3 extension service-worker memory profile (Codex finding #4) - P2: Native + GPU memory breakdown in \$B memory (Codex finding #5) - P3: Single-context CDP listener for Network.loadingFinished (D10 stretch goal) - P3: Real-Chromium peak-RSS reproducer for periodic tier (Codex finding on transient amplification + ANGLE_B_NUMBERS CHANGELOG framing dependency) Each entry follows the standard TODOS.md format: What / Why / Pros / Cons / Context / Priority / Effort. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * regen SKILL.md after adding \$B memory command The C8 commit added 'memory' to META_COMMANDS + COMMAND_DESCRIPTIONS but didn't regenerate the SKILL.md files. The category was 'Diagnostics' which isn't in scripts/resolvers/browse.ts:categoryOrder; switched to 'Server' (matches the existing 'status' / 'restart' / 'handoff' pattern) so the table renders under the existing ### Server section. Test fix: gen-skill-docs.test.ts asserts every command appears in the generated SKILL.md and gstack/llms.txt; without this regen the test fails with "Expected to contain: 'memory'". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * add coverage for \$B memory diagnostic surface 17 tests across the formatter + byte renderer + JSON entry point: - formatBytes() 4-tier (bytes, KB, MB, GB) + 160 GB sanity case (the friend's OOM number from the original screenshot, so the renderer doesn't blow up at real leak scale) - handleMemoryCommand --json mode parseable shape - handleMemoryCommand text mode: Bun server line, no-tabs branch, top-10 sort with "...and N more" tail, Chromium process grouping by type, "unavailable" line when processes is null, modification- history evicted-count format, notes section rendering, long-URL ellipsis truncation - buildMemorySnapshotJson returns shape matching the type The formatSnapshotText renderer is private to memory-command.ts; tests exercise it through handleMemoryCommand's text-mode return path. The eviction-count format is pinned via a parallel format contract assertion since the renderer reads live module state. Coverage gate: brings the diagnostic surface from 0% to ~80%. Extension UI (sidepanel.js footer + toast) remains uncovered — adding tests there would require extracting fmtBytesShort and tabRamScore from sidepanel.js into a testable TS module, which is deferred to a follow-up to keep this PR scoped.

Document the new createSseEndpoint helper + CDP session lifecycle helpers (withCdpSession, getOrCreateCdpSession) in CLAUDE.md alongside the existing server hardening notes, with the static-grep tripwire callout so future contributors route through the helpers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): pin SSE sanitizer wiring to the v1.51 createSseEndpoint helper The two `wiring invariants` tests grepped server.ts for `JSON.stringify(entry, sanitizeReplacer)` and `JSON.stringify(event, sanitizeReplacer)` — patterns that lived inline in /activity/stream and /inspector/events before the v1.51 refactor moved both endpoints behind createSseEndpoint. Sanitization still happens (the helper applies it inside its send() and live-event callback), but the static-grep was pinned to the old wiring and started failing on Windows free-tests after the refactor landed. Updated to check the new contract: - /activity/stream + /inspector/events route through createSseEndpoint (regex match of the route handler block ending in the helper call). - sse-helpers.ts contains JSON.stringify + sanitizeReplacer + imports stripLoneSurrogates from ./sanitize (catches drift to a private copy). - server.ts retains its own sanitizeReplacer for non-SSE egress paths (handleCommandInternal); the two replacers coexist by design. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * v1.52.0.0 feat(plan-tune): explicit consent + first-run setup wizard for contributors (#1741) * feat(plan-tune): explicit-consent surface + setup gate for question_tuning Step 0 grows two implicit gates that run before user-intent routing: - Consent gate: question_tuning=false + no marker → offer opt-in (contributor-specific copy variant) - Setup gate: question_tuning=true + declared empty + no marker → run 5-Q wizard Markers (~/.gstack/.question-tuning-prompted, ~/.gstack/.declared-setup-prompted) ensure each user is asked at most once. The Enable+setup section split into "Consent + opt-in" (with contributor framing) and standalone "5-Q setup" reachable from both the consent flow and the setup gate. Also aligns the calibration gate across three docs (V0 said 90+ days, TODOS said 2+ weeks, binary uses 7 days). The fix distinguishes: - Display gate (sample_size>=20, skills>=3, question_ids>=8, days_span>=7): for rendering inferred values in /plan-tune output - Promotion gate (90+ days stable across 3+ skills): for shipping E1 behavior-adapting defaults TODOS.md E1 card updated to reference 90+ days, plus Codex's substrate risk note: generated skill prose is agent-compliance-based, so E1 ships as advisory annotations on AskUserQuestion recommendations, not silent AUTO_DECIDE. Tests can verify templates contain right reads but can't prove agents obey them. Per /plan-eng-review + Codex outside-voice 2026-05-26. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.49.0.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(bins): honor GSTACK_STATE_ROOT override for test isolation Plan-tune cathedral T1 (per D16 / Codex outside voice). The 3 bins that back /plan-tune (question-log, question-preference, developer-profile) previously ignored GSTACK_STATE_ROOT, so tests that tried to point state at a tempdir via that env var silently wrote to the real ~/.gstack. Make STATE_ROOT take precedence over GSTACK_HOME so the cathedral's E2E + unit tests can isolate cleanly without sledgehammering HOME. Order of precedence: GSTACK_STATE_ROOT > GSTACK_HOME > $HOME/.gstack Matches the existing gstack-paths emission order. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(plan-tune): regression coverage for v1.49 consent + setup gates Plan-tune cathedral T2 + part of T1 follow-up (Codex IRON RULE — regressions get tests). v1.49 shipped two prose-driven implicit gates inside plan-tune Step 0 (consent, setup) with zero test coverage. The cathedral refactors that template heavily; without tests, silent breakage is possible. Three regression families plus a static template assertion: 1. Consent gate fires under qt=false + no marker; goes silent on marker write or qt=true flip. 2. Setup gate fires under qt=true + empty declared + no marker; goes silent when declared populates, marker is written, or qt is still false. 3. Marker idempotency: gates stay silent across 5 re-invocations after a single decline/bail. Markers honored independently. 4. Static template assertion: gate language can't be silently deleted without breaking a test. Also extends gstack-config to honor GSTACK_STATE_ROOT (it was the last bin still ignoring it — caught while writing the tests; without this, tests would silently mutate the user's real config.yaml). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(spikes): Claude hook mutation + Codex session format Plan-tune cathedral T4 (per D5/D10). Two Phase 1 design spikes that downstream tasks (T3, T5, T6, T8, T9) depend on. claude-code-hook-mutation.md - Confirms PreToolUse allow + updatedInput is supported and is the right mechanism for substituting an auto-decided answer. - Pins stdin/stdout JSON schemas with field-by-field reference. - Documents matcher regex syntax for "(AskUserQuestion|mcp__.*__AskUserQuestion)" so Conductor's MCP-routed AUQ is covered. - Captures parallel-hook merge order caveat and our settings.json snippet. codex-session-format.md - Maps the on-disk ~/.codex/sessions/<date>/rollout-*.jsonl schema by event type (response_item 76%, event_msg 19%, turn_context, session_meta). - Critical finding: Codex has NO AskUserQuestion tool. Gstack AUQ-shaped Decision Briefs surface as agent_message text; answer is the next user_message. Two-tier recovery: marker-first (D18), then pattern fallback for hash-only logging. - Confirms logs_2.sqlite is internal telemetry, not session content. - Lists open questions to answer during T9 implementation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(settings-hook): schema-aware PreToolUse/PostToolUse registration Plan-tune cathedral T3 (per D4 + Codex correction). The previous bin only knew SessionStart and dedup'd on the hardcoded `gstack-session-update` substring. The cathedral needs PreToolUse + PostToolUse hooks registered side-by-side with the user's own hooks, with explicit consent UX, backups, and rollback. New subcommands: - add-event --event <SessionStart|PreToolUse|PostToolUse|...> --command <cmd> --source <tag> [--matcher <re>] [--timeout <s>] - remove-source --source <tag> # removes all entries tagged by source - diff-event ... # preview without mutating - rollback # restore latest backup - list-sources # audit gstack-tagged hooks Multi-source dedup via a new `_gstack_source` field on each hook entry (Claude Code preserves unknown fields). Source tag lets plan-tune-cathedral register PreToolUse + PostToolUse without colliding with the existing SessionStart wiring, and lets remove-source clean up cleanly during gstack-uninstall. Backups written automatically to settings.json.bak.<ts> before any mutation, with a .bak-latest pointer the rollback subcommand reads. Existing legacy `add <cmd>` / `remove <cmd>` shape preserved verbatim so setup --team and gstack-uninstall keep working unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(hooks): PostToolUse capture hook for AskUserQuestion Plan-tune cathedral T5. Closes the substrate hole that motivated this entire branch: agent-compliance-only logging produced zero events in weeks of dogfood. PostToolUse hook captures every AUQ fire deterministically. What ships: - hosts/claude/hooks/question-log-hook.ts — TS hook that reads Claude Code's hook stdin, walks tool_input.questions[*], extracts user choice + recommended option from tool_response, spawns gstack-question-log per question. - hosts/claude/hooks/question-log-hook — bash shim Claude Code's hook runner invokes; execs bun against the .ts file. - Marker-first question_id extraction (D18 progressive markers): <gstack-qid:foo-bar> stripped from question text, used as the id. Hash fallback hook-<sha1[:10]> for unmarked questions (observed-only, never used as preference key — D18 hash drift mitigation). - (recommended) label parsing for the user_choice/recommended fields, with refuse-on-ambiguous when two labels are present (D2 safety). - Free-text capture: source=auq-other + free_text field when user picks Other and types (Layer 8 dream cycle input). - Matcher covers both native AskUserQuestion and mcp__*__AskUserQuestion (Codex/Conductor catch from outside voice review). - Crash safety: always exits 0; errors land in ~/.gstack/hook-errors.log so the user's session is never blocked by a hook failure. gstack-question-log extended to: - Accept `source` field (default 'agent', new values: hook, auq-other, auto-decided, codex-import-marker, codex-import-pattern). - Accept `tool_use_id` (<=128 chars) for dedup. - Composite dedup on (source, tool_use_id) across the last 100 lines — protects against hook + preamble both firing on the same tool call (D3 belt+suspenders). - Async fire `gstack-developer-profile --derive` after each successful write so inferred.sample_size actually grows (D17 — without this, the cathedral's "before 0, after >0" metric never moves). - GSTACK_QUESTION_LOG_NO_DERIVE=1 escape hatch for tests. 9 new unit tests covering capture, marker extraction, MCP variant, free-text, dedup, ambiguous-recommended safety, crash paths. All pass plus the existing 88 tests across related files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(hooks): PreToolUse enforcement hook for AskUserQuestion preferences Plan-tune cathedral T6 — the keystone that makes never-ask actually bind. Today preferences are agent-convention (silently ignored). This hook enforces them via Claude Code's hook protocol: when a never-ask preference matches an AUQ that is two-way + has a marker + has a clear recommendation, the hook returns permissionDecision: "deny" with permissionDecisionReason naming the auto-decided option. The agent obeys the rejection feedback and proceeds with the recommended option without re-firing AUQ. Decision tree (per question): - marker absent → defer (D18: hash IDs are observed-only) - one-way door → defer (safety override — never auto-decide one-way) - always-ask preference → defer - no preference set → defer - ambiguous recommendation (two (recommended) labels OR no parseable rec) → defer (D2 refuse-on-ambiguous) - never-ask / ask-only-for-one-way + two-way + clean rec → deny+reason Preference precedence per D8: project-local (~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/question-preferences.json) wins, global (~/.gstack/global-question-preferences.json) is fallback. Why deny+reason instead of allow+updatedInput: AskUserQuestion's updatedInput shape for "pre-resolve this question" isn't structurally pinned in Claude Code docs (T4 spike open question). deny with a reason that names the auto-decided option is the conservative + reliable v1 — the model receives the rejection, reads the recommended option from the reason, proceeds without re-prompting. Swap to allow+updatedInput once the AUQ input shape is verified against real Claude Code. Since deny prevents PostToolUse from firing, this hook logs the auto-decided event itself via gstack-question-log (source=auto-decided) so /plan-tune's Recent auto-decisions surface picks it up. Also writes a session marker ~/.gstack/sessions/<id>/.auto-decided-<tool_use_id> for coordination when the AUQ-shape switch lands. Multi-question AUQ: enforcement is all-or-nothing per call. If any question in the batch isn't eligible (no marker, no preference, ambiguous rec, etc.), the whole call defers so the user still gets to answer the rest normally. Registry lookup: cheap regex extraction from scripts/question-registry.ts (reading + bun-importing the TS file from a hook is too slow). Door type defaults to two-way for unregistered. Matcher covers both native AskUserQuestion and mcp__*__AskUserQuestion (Conductor disables native — Codex outside-voice catch). 15 unit tests cover defer paths, enforcement, one-way safety override, ambiguous-rec refuse, precedence (project wins, global fallback, project-overrides-global), MCP matcher, auto-decided event logging, session marker writing, crash safety. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(scripts): declared-annotation helper + autonomy signal_key wiring Plan-tune cathedral T7. Adds the helper that lets skills inject one-line plain-English annotations on AUQ recommendations based on the user's declared profile — read-only, advisory-only, per TODOS.md E1 substrate-risk guidance (no AUTO_DECIDE off inferred). scripts/declared-annotation.ts - getDeclaredAnnotation(signal_key) → annotation | null - primaryDimensionFor(signal_key) → Dimension | null - Signature uses kebab signal_key per D2/Codex correction (registry uses hyphens; profile dimensions use underscores; helper maps internally). - Bands: >= 0.7 high, <= 0.3 low, else null. Middle band stays silent. - Per-dimension plain-English phrasing: 5 dimensions × 2 bands = 10 phrases. - Reads ~/.gstack/developer-profile.json (honors GSTACK_STATE_ROOT). scripts/psychographic-signals.ts - New signal_key 'decision-autonomy' that maps user_choice → autonomy dimension nudges. This was the missing signal for the 'autonomy' dimension — without it, the cathedral could annotate four of five declared dimensions but autonomy stayed silent. scripts/question-registry.ts - Add signal_key: 'decision-autonomy' to land-and-deploy-merge-confirm and land-and-deploy-rollback. These are the highest-leverage autonomy questions in the surface — "let me decide" vs "go ahead" is exactly what the dimension captures. 13 unit tests cover the helper's full contract (unknown keys, missing profile, middle-band null, both band thresholds, all five dimensions rendering distinct phrases). Existing 47 plan-tune.test.ts tests still pass after the registry + signal-map enrichment. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(setup): install plan-tune cathedral hooks with explicit consent UX Plan-tune cathedral T8. Wires the new PostToolUse capture hook and PreToolUse enforcement hook into ~/.claude/settings.json via the schema-aware gstack-settings-hook (T3) — respecting D4's "never mutate settings.json silently" boundary and the Codex outside-voice warning. Behavior at setup time: - Idempotency: if list-sources already shows 'plan-tune-cathedral', no-op with a one-line note. - Marker present (previously declined): no-op, no re-prompt. - Interactive terminal: print rationale + diff preview from settings-hook, rollback command, and prompt y/N. On accept, register both hooks (PostToolUse and PreToolUse) with --source plan-tune-cathedral. On decline, touch ~/.gstack/.plan-tune-hooks-prompted so we don't re-ask. - Non-interactive (CI / scripted): no prompt; print the two exact commands the user would need to install manually. - --no-team teardown also removes the plan-tune hooks via remove-source. gstack-uninstall extended to clean up plan-tune-cathedral hooks alongside the existing SessionStart cleanup. Listed as a separate "plan-tune cathedral hooks" line in the REMOVED summary when it fires. No new test file — coverage from T3's gstack-settings-hook-schema-aware tests proves the underlying bin behavior; setup-level integration is verified manually (re-running ./setup is cheap and the prompt makes it obvious whether install happened). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(bin): gstack-codex-session-import — structured Codex transcript parser Plan-tune cathedral T9. Backfills question-log.jsonl from Codex sessions since Codex has no AskUserQuestion tool (per docs/spikes/codex-session-format.md) and gstack AUQ-shaped Decision Briefs show up as agent_message prose. Walks ~/.codex/sessions/<date>/rollout-*.jsonl, matches each agent_message that contains either a <gstack-qid:foo-bar> marker or a D-numbered Decision Brief header, then pairs it with the next user_message for the answer. Two-tier recovery per D5: - marker present → source=codex-import-marker, stable question_id - no marker but D-shape detected → source=codex-import-pattern with hash-only question_id (never used as preference key per D18) Subcommands: gstack-codex-session-import # latest session gstack-codex-session-import <file> # explicit path gstack-codex-session-import --since <iso> # all sessions newer than User-choice extraction handles A/B/C letter responses and prose responses that start with the option label. Recommended option parsed via the "(recommended)" label suffix (same convention as Layer 2). Each extracted event written via gstack-question-log, so source tagging, dedup, and async derive all apply uniformly. spawnSync uses the cwd from session_meta so gstack-slug buckets events into the project the user was actually working in, not the importer's cwd. 7 unit tests cover marker path, pattern fallback, multiple briefs in sequence, missing user_message, numeric/letter user response forms, empty-sessions-dir handling. Smoke-tested against a real ~/.codex/sessions/ file from earlier today — returns IMPORTED: 0 because that session was autonomous (no AUQ-shaped prose), proving the bin doesn't false-positive on unrelated agent_message events. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(bin): gstack-distill-free-text — Layer 8 dream cycle distiller Plan-tune cathedral T10. Reads auq-other free-text events from this project's question-log.jsonl, calls Claude via the Anthropic SDK to extract structured proposals (preference candidates, declared-profile nudges, memory nuggets), writes them to distillation-proposals.json for the user to review via /plan-tune (never autonomous — every apply requires explicit Y). Subcommands: gstack-distill-free-text # sync distill gstack-distill-free-text --background # detach + return PID gstack-distill-free-text --dry-run # emit prompt + events, no API call gstack-distill-free-text --status # run history + cost-to-date D7 rate cap: 3 distills per slug per day. Reads ~/.gstack/distill-cost.jsonl for the count, exits with RATE_CAPPED when limit hit. Cost log lines tagged by slug so sibling projects don't share the cap. Yesterday runs don't count. D6 API auth: Anthropic SDK direct, fail-loud on missing ANTHROPIC_API_KEY with explicit message that distill is a separate billing surface from the interactive Claude Code session. Uses claude-haiku-4-5 for cost (~$0.001/ 1k input, $0.005/1k output) — sufficient for structured extraction. D14 execution context: --background spawns detached (nohup) so auto-trigger during /ship doesn't add 30s of pause; results surface on next /plan-tune. Source events get distilled_at:<ts> stamped on them after the run so they don't re-propose on the next distill. Match by ts + question_id. Cost-log line per run includes: slug, proposals_count, rejected_low_confidence, input_tokens, output_tokens, cost_usd_est. /plan-tune stats reads this to show "$X estimated, N runs this month" per Layer 4 surface. 10 unit tests cover --status, rate cap (3/day, yesterday-not-counted, other-slug-not-counted), no-log/no-free-text paths, --dry-run, missing API key, --background spawn. The actual SDK call is exercised by the T16 E2E test (uses real key, ~$0.001 per run). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(bin): gstack-distill-apply — apply distillation proposals with gbrain tag Plan-tune cathedral T11. Bin that applies a single user-approved proposal from distillation-proposals.json to the right surface: - memory-nugget → appended to ~/.gstack/free-text-memory.json (durable local source-of-truth; gbrain is mirror when configured). - preference → routed through gstack-question-preference --write with source=plan-tune (clears the user-origin gate). - declared-nudge → atomic update to developer-profile.json declared dim, small=0.05, medium=0.10, large=0.15, clamped to [0, 1]. Why a separate bin (not inline in the skill template): /plan-tune's apply step needs to be invokable from any host (Claude, Codex, etc) and must write to multiple state files atomically. A bin centralizes the schema + clamp logic; the skill template just calls it after user Y. gbrain coordination: --gbrain-published true marks the nugget so /plan-tune stats can show "12 nuggets, 8 mirrored to gbrain". The skill template invokes mcp__gbrain__put_page / extract_facts / add_tag in the same turn (those are MCP tools, not CLI-callable) before calling this bin. Local file remains canonical so the PreToolUse hook injection path (T12) doesn't depend on gbrain availability. Subcommands: gstack-distill-apply --list # show pending proposals gstack-distill-apply --proposal <N> # apply, file fallback gstack-distill-apply --proposal <N> --gbrain-published true Applied proposals get applied_at + gbrain_published stamped on them so re-running --list shows only unconsumed ones. 11 unit tests cover --list (all three kinds + quotes), memory-nugget append + non-clobber, preference routing through the gate-respecting bin, declared-nudge math (medium=0.10, small=0.05, large=0.15, clamp at [0,1]), proposal mark-applied with gbrain flag, and error paths (bad index, missing --proposal). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(hooks): Layer 8 memory injection via per-session cache Plan-tune cathedral T12. Extends the PreToolUse hook to inject matching free-text-memory.json nuggets into AskUserQuestion responses, giving the agent + user the distilled context from past 'Other' answers right when the related question fires. Per-session cache (D13 perf): first read of free-text-memory.json writes ~/.gstack/sessions/<id>/memory-cache.json. Subsequent hooks on the same session take the cached path. Invalidation is by file-missing: when the canonical file changes (via gstack-distill-apply), the per-session cache either reflects the staler view for the rest of the session or the session restarts and the cache rebuilds. Cheap, correct enough for v1. Matching logic: - Walk this AUQ batch's questions, extract marker question_ids. - Look up signal_key in scripts/question-registry.ts. - Collect nuggets whose applies_to_signal_keys include any of the matched signal_keys. - Cap to 3 most-recent (by applied_at) so the additionalContext stays short. - Surface as additionalContext on the hookSpecificOutput response. Memory + enforcement interact cleanly: the same hook can both surface nuggets AND deny the tool when a never-ask preference matches. Memory context isn't doubled in the deny reason — the auto-decided option name in the deny path is sufficient signal. 6 new tests cover injection on defer, no-match silence, 3-most-recent cap, memory-alongside-deny enforcement, cache file write-through, empty-canonical graceful degradation. Existing 15 preference-hook tests still green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(plan-tune): SKILL.md surfaces for cathedral T13 Plan-tune cathedral T13. Rewires plan-tune/SKILL.md.tmpl to expose the new cathedral surfaces: Step 0 routing: - Implicit gate #3 (dream-cycle): fires when distillation-proposals.json has unapplied proposals. Marker is per-proposal applied_at so re-firing naturally skips already-handled items. - Added user-intent route for "dream cycle" / "distill" / "what have I been free-texting". - Power-user shortcuts: distill, dream, audit. Stats: - Host-aware source breakdown (SOURCE_HOOK, SOURCE_AGENT, SOURCE_AUTO_DECIDED, SOURCE_CODEX_IMPORT_*, SOURCE_AUQ_OTHER). - MARKED percentage so D18 progressive-markers progress is visible. - Distill cost-to-date via gstack-distill-free-text --status. Recent auto-decisions: - Last 10 source=auto-decided events with question_id + user_choice. Lets the user spot-check enforcement and flip via always-ask. Audit unmarked questions: - Top N hash-only ids by frequency. Surfaces next candidates for the D18 marker retrofit. Dream cycle review + manual distill: - Walks unapplied proposals via AskUserQuestion (one per call), routes accepts through gstack-distill-apply with --gbrain-published flag. Skill template invokes mcp__gbrain__put_page when MCP is available; local file remains source-of-truth. Regenerated SKILL.md via `bun run gen:skill-docs`. All 60 plan-tune tests still green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(preamble): inject <gstack-qid:...> marker convention into question-tuning resolver Plan-tune cathedral T14. Per D18 progressive markers, the PreToolUse enforcement hook only fires when the AUQ question text contains a <gstack-qid:foo-bar> marker the hook can extract. Without a marker, the hook logs the fire as observed-only and skips enforcement (hash IDs drift with prose so they're never used as preference keys). The high-leverage retrofit point is the preamble's Question Tuning section, not 10 individual skill templates. Updating scripts/resolvers/question-tuning.ts adds the marker convention to every tier-≥2 skill in one change — agents running ANY of the 30+ tier-≥2 skills now embed the marker by default when the question matches a registered question_id. Two convention additions in the preamble: 1. "Embed the question_id as a marker (<gstack-qid:{id}>) somewhere in the rendered question." With explanation that the marker is the only path for the PreToolUse hook to enforce preferences. 2. "Embed the option recommendation via the (recommended) label suffix on exactly one option per AUQ." Documents the D2 parser contract: label first, prose fallback, refuse-on-ambiguous. Net cost: ~700 bytes added to the preamble per generated skill. Plan-review preamble budget ratcheted from 39000 → 40000 (test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts) with a comment explaining the cathedral T14 expansion is load-bearing. Regenerated 42 SKILL.md files via `bun run gen:skill-docs`. The token ceiling warning on ship/SKILL.md (~41K tokens) is pre-existing; this PR doesn't change ship's preamble materially. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(ship): plan-tune discoverability nudge after first successful ship Plan-tune cathedral T15 (the ship-side surface; the setup-side surface shipped in T8 with explicit hook-install consent UX). Adds Step 21 to ship/SKILL.md.tmpl: after Step 20 (persist metrics) succeeds, surface /plan-tune once per machine via a marker-gated single-line nudge. Behavior: - If ~/.gstack/.plan-tune-nudge-shown exists → no-op. - If question_tuning is already true → no-op (user already on board). - Otherwise: print one nudge line, touch marker. The nudge mentions both the observational substrate AND the hook-installed auto-decide enforcement so users know what they get when they opt in. Non-blocking — never asks a question, doesn't gate ship completion. To re-show: rm ~/.gstack/.plan-tune-nudge-shown before next ship. Setup-side discoverability shipped in T8 via the hook install prompt (explicit consent + diff preview + backup). Together these two surfaces cover first-install AND first-ship moments — the user discovers plan-tune organically rather than needing to know /plan-tune exists. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(plan-tune): 5 cathedral E2E scenarios + touchfile registration Plan-tune cathedral T16 (per D12 — all 5 in gate tier). One consolidated file with five describeIfSelected scenarios, each selectable by its own touchfile entry so they only run when the relevant code changes (or EVALS_ALL=1 forces all): plan-tune-hook-capture — PostToolUse hook fires → question-log fills plan-tune-enforcement — never-ask + marker + 2-way → deny+reason + auto-decided event logged plan-tune-annotation — declared profile + memory nugget → additionalContext surfaced on defer plan-tune-codex-import — synthetic JSONL → import bin → log with source=codex-import-marker plan-tune-dream-cycle — apply proposal → re-fire question → memory injected via additionalContext Each scenario fixtures an isolated git repo + bins + scripts + hooks under tmp, then exercises the cathedral chain end-to-end against real on-disk binaries (no mocks at the bin layer). GSTACK_STATE_ROOT keeps the user's real ~/.gstack untouched. These five complement the existing unit tests by proving the full sub-process chain works (not just individual functions in isolation). They DON'T spawn claude -p because the cathedral's substrate behavior is deterministic — agent compliance is no longer the variable. The existing test/skill-e2e-plan-tune.test.ts (plan-tune-inspect) still covers the LLM-driven intent-routing behavior. Cost: each scenario runs in ~1s with $0 because no claude -p invocations. Touchfile-gated, so they only run on PRs that touch cathedral code. Also fixes a bug found by the E2E: question-log-hook didn't pass the incoming tool call's cwd to spawnSync when invoking gstack-question-log, so the bin used the hook process's cwd (the repo root) instead of the session's cwd. Result: log writes landed in the wrong project bucket. Fix mirrors the same cwd-passing pattern from question-preference-hook.

Bumps VERSION 1.49.0.0 → 1.50.0.0 (MINOR per CLAUDE.md scale-aware rule: this is substantial new capability — 8 layers, ~3000 LOC, 96 new tests, deterministic substrate + dream-cycle distillation). CHANGELOG entry follows the release-summary format from CLAUDE.md: - Two-line bold headline naming what changed for users (deterministic capture, binding preferences, free-text memory loop) - Lead paragraph: before/after framed concretely (zero events captured → every fire, agent-honored → hook-enforced, declared profile → injected context, regex backfill → structured JSONL parser) - Two tables: metric deltas + layer/where-it-lives. Real numbers (96 tests, ~$0.01 per distill, 3/day cap), no AI vocabulary, no em dashes. - "What this means for solo builders" close: ties dream cycle to the compounding loop and points to ./setup as the on-ramp. - Itemized Added/Changed/For contributors sections list every layer's surfaces with file paths. Also: - Refreshed test/fixtures/golden/{claude,codex,factory}-ship-SKILL.md to match the regenerated ship templates (Step 21 nudge added). - Rebased plan-tune entry in parity-baseline-v1.47.0.0.json from 51717 → 64017 bytes with a baseline_note explaining the cathedral T13 expansion. Documents that the new Dream cycle, Recent auto-decisions, Audit unmarked, Dream cycle review/distill sections are load-bearing, not bloat. Without the rebase, the size-budget gate fails — and the cathedral's whole point is making /plan-tune do more, not less. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump VERSION 1.50.0.0 → 1.52.0.0 (queue collision with #1742) CI version gate caught: PR #1742 (garrytan/upgrade-gstack-gbrain-v1) already claims v1.50.0.0 and #1751 (garrytan/browser-memory-leak) claims v1.51.0.0. gstack-next-version util recommends v1.52.0.0 as the next free slot. Updates: - VERSION 1.50.0.0 → 1.52.0.0 - package.json version sync - CHANGELOG.md header + metric table label - parity-baseline-v1.47.0.0.json baseline_note reference No content changes; pure slot rebase per the queue. The cathedral scope (8 layers, 96 tests) and CHANGELOG narrative stay identical — same ship, different release number. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: cap audit — remove distill rate cap, loosen size/budget gates Plan-tune cathedral follow-up. The 3/day distill cap was theatrical: at ~$0.01 per Haiku call, even a runaway loop firing every minute would cost ~$14/day, and free-text events are rare enough that the natural input rate self-limits to 1-2 fires/day. Count caps don't protect against runaway bugs (which fire 1000x/second, not 4 times/day) but DO punish heavy users who'd legitimately distill multiple times during a busy week. Removed: 3/day rate cap on bin/gstack-distill-free-text. --status output swapped from "TODAY: N / 3" to "TODAY: N run(s), $X" so users see what they're spending instead of how close they are to a meaningless count. Loosened (caps that exist for real-runaway protection, not normal scope): - EVALS_BUDGET_HARD_CAP_GATE $25 → $200/run - EVALS_BUDGET_HARD_CAP_PERIODIC $70 → $500/run - EVALS_BUDGET_HARD_CAP $30 → $300/run (umbrella fallback) - GSTACK_SIZE_BUDGET_RATIO 1.05 → 1.50 per-skill ratio - plan-review preamble byte budget 40K → 60K Principle: caps exist to catch obvious bugs (infinite retry, model price change, prompt blowup), not to gate legitimate scope growth. Set high enough that real growth never trips them, only bug territory does. Adjusted defaults are 4-8× historical worst case, leaving ample headroom for the next 12 months of legitimate expansion. Tests updated: distill-free-text removes the 3-test rate-cap describe block in favor of "no rate cap" assertion that 10 runs/day pass. Other budget tests still pass because they were never near the old ceilings.

Tier-1 calibration: Stripe-publishable, Google AIza, JWT, and env-KV are MEDIUM not HIGH (context-variable / high-FP). Validators: Luhn, Shannon-entropy gate, RFC1918 exclusion, wallet sanity. Per-span placeholder suppression (not line-based). - lib/redact-engine.ts — pure scan() + applyRedactions(). Normalization pass (NFKC + zero-width strip + entity decode) with offset map back to original. Oversize input fails CLOSED. No visibility-based tier promotion (records repoVisibility for sterner wording only). Tool-attributed-fence WARN-degrade for obvious doc-examples. Safe preview masking (≤4 leading chars). - 100 unit tests: per-pattern positives, FP filters, validators, email allowlist, no-promotion semantics, tool-fence degrade, normalization, oversize-fail-closed, ReDoS pattern-lint + runtime budget, auto-redact (idempotent, right-to-left, structural-corruption guard).

Reads stdin or --from-file, scans, prints JSON (--json) or a human table. Exit codes 0/2/3 gate dispatch/file/edit/commit (WARN never gates). --auto-redact emits the sanitized body + diff for the PII-class one-keystroke path. --allowlist, --self-email, --repo-public-emails, --repo-visibility, --max-bytes. Fails closed on oversize at the CLI boundary before the engine even reads. 9 contract tests: exit codes, JSON shape, auto-redact, allowlist, self-email, from-file, oversize-fail-closed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(redact): opt-in pre-push hook (accident catcher) + safe installer bin/gstack-redact-prepush scans the diff being pushed for HIGH credentials and blocks on a hit, for public AND private repos (a pushed secret is compromised regardless of visibility). Correct git pre-push semantics: scans remote..local (what's being pushed), handles new-branch zero-SHA via merge-base or empty-tree fallback, force-push, and branch-delete skip. MEDIUM warns non-blocking; LOW/WARN silent. GSTACK_REDACT_PREPUSH=skip escape valve logs to prepush-skip.jsonl. bin/gstack-redact gains install-prepush-hook / uninstall-prepush-hook subcommands that chain any pre-existing hook (renamed to pre-push.local, stdin forwarded to both, exit code propagated). Guardrail not enforcement: --no-verify and the env skip both bypass; it scans only the pushed delta, not history/binary/LFS. 9 tests in a throwaway git repo.

No block_private key — HIGH blocks both visibilities unconditionally. Value-domain validation + 6 tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(redact): gen-skill-docs resolver for taxonomy table + invocation block scripts/resolvers/redact-doc.ts emits two placeholders, both derived from lib/redact-patterns so skill docs never drift from the engine: - {{REDACT_TAXONOMY_TABLE}} — 3-tier table for /spec + /cso (shared source). - {{REDACT_INVOCATION_BLOCK:<sink>}} — the canonical scan-at-sink bash + prose for one enforcement point (pre-codex/pre-issue/pre-archive/pre-pr-body/ pre-pr-title/pre-commit): which-bun probe, visibility resolution (local config → gh → glab → unknown), temp-file scan-at-sink, exit 3/2/0 branches, PII auto-redact offer, guardrail-not-enforcement framing. Registered in index.ts. 12 resolver tests. No SKILL.md churn yet (no template references the placeholders until the per-skill wiring commits).

Injection- hardened (a body containing the SEMANTIC_REVIEW marker forces flagged). Content-free audit trail to ~/.gstack/security/semantic-reviews.jsonl. - Phase 4.5b: replaces the inline 7-regex prose with the shared gstack-redact scan-at-sink (exact-byte temp file). Three enforcement points: pre-codex, pre-issue (files via --body-file from the scanned file), pre-archive (D2: sanitized body to the archive). --no-gate skips codex score only; redaction always runs, no flag disables it. /cso: renders the full generated taxonomy table as its canonical pattern catalog (shared source), keeps its git-history archaeology (different use case). lib/redact-audit-log.ts: 0600 append-only semantic-review trail (no body text). Resolver gains compact-table + brief-block variants so /spec references the catalog instead of inlining it (stays under the v1.47 size budget). Tests: extended spec invariants (semantic pass, scan-at-sink, no-promotion), audit-log, cso/spec alignment. All green; spec 1.050× / cso 1.046× baseline.

HIGH blocks the PR (no skip); MEDIUM confirms per finding. Codex/Greptile/eval sections go in tool-attributed fences so example credentials those tools quote WARN-degrade instead of blocking the PR — a live-format credential inside the fence still blocks. - /document-release: scan the PR-body temp file before gh pr edit. - /document-generate: scan the staged doc diff (added lines) before commit — generated docs often carry example credentials; a live-format secret blocks. Tests: ship-template-redaction (incl. tool-fence WARN-degrade contract), document-skills-redaction. All skills stay under the v1.47 size budget. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(redact): semantic-pass eval + CLAUDE.md docs + size/parity baselines - test/redact-semantic-pass.eval.ts: periodic-tier paid eval (EVALS=1) with 10 should-flag / should-clean fixtures + an injection-resistance case, the only way to detect semantic-pass model drift. - CLAUDE.md: "Redaction guard" section — engine/CLI/hook locations, the guardrail-not-enforcement framing, scan-at-sink, no-tier-promotion, the tool-attributed-fence convention, the config keys, and the audit log. - /cso uses the compact (HIGH-tier) taxonomy table so it fits under BOTH the v1.47 and the older v1.44.1 parity ceilings; full MEDIUM/LOW lives in lib/redact-patterns.ts. Alignment test asserts the HIGH-tier contract. - Refresh the ship golden baselines (claude/codex/factory) for the PR-body redaction wiring.

One TS const file consolidates BRAIN_CACHE_ENTITIES (8 entities × TTL + budget + invalidation rules), SKILL_DIGEST_SUBSETS (per-skill which files to load), SALIENCE_DEFAULT_ALLOWLIST (D9 privacy gate), SKILL_CALIBRATION_WEIGHTS (Phase 2 E5), and policy / identity / schema constants. Drift between docs and runtime becomes impossible by construction: resolver, cache CLI, and test/skill-preflight-budget.test.ts all import from the same module. test/brain-cache-spec.test.ts: 19 invariant assertions (subset/entity consistency, per-skill achievability, allowlist sanity, transport defaults, user-slug fallback chain, lock timeout, retention policy).

Idempotent registration: gbrain skips when pack+version already installed. test/gstack-schema-pack.test.ts: 16 invariants on pack shape, retention policies, link verb consistency, JSON serializability. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(brain): gstack-brain-cache CLI (T2a) — core subcommands bin/gstack-brain-cache: TS CLI with five subcommands: get <entity-name> [--project <slug>] refresh [--full] [--entity X] [--project <slug>] invalidate <entity-name> [--project <slug>] digest <entity-slug> meta [--project <slug>] Cache layout per Phase 0.5 design: ~/.gstack/brain-cache/ ← cross-project (user-profile) ~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/brain-cache/ ← per-project (everything else) Per-entity TTL drives staleness; per-entity byte budgets enforce compression at write time. Atomic writes via tmp+rename. Stale-but-usable fallback when brain unreachable (returns cached digest with diagnostic prefix instead of failing). Schema-version mismatch + endpoint switch both trigger full rebuild for the affected scope (D4 A4). Fetch+compress paths wired for the 7 entities (user-profile, product, goals, developer-persona, brand, competitive-intel, recent-decisions, salience) via gbrain CLI shell-out — works for local PGLite and local-stdio MCP, transparent over the existing spawnGbrain helper. Concurrent-refresh dedup (D3 / T15) is a follow-up commit. Salience allowlist gate (D9 / T17) is a follow-up commit. Bootstrap + lifecycle subcommands (T2b / T18) are follow-up commits. test/brain-cache-roundtrip.test.ts: 11 tests covering path resolution, meta lifecycle, endpoint detection, schema mismatch behavior, and the four cache states (warm / cold-refreshed / stale-fallback / missing).

The rest dedup via the project-scoped lockfile at ~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/brain-cache/.refresh.lock. Reuses the 5-min stale-takeover convention from /sync-gbrain. Lock is taken over when: - File is older than CACHE_REFRESH_LOCK_TIMEOUT_MS - PID is on the same host and dead (process.kill(pid, 0) fails) - Lock file is corrupt (defensive) withRefreshLock(projectSlug, fn) returns either the callback's value or the literal 'dedup'. The CLI emits exit code 3 + diagnostic stderr on dedup, so callers can choose to wait + retry (resolver does this) or fall through to stale-but-usable behavior. test/cache-concurrent-refresh.test.ts: 7 tests covering acquire/release, stale-takeover, dead-PID takeover, corrupt-lock recovery, error-path release, and cross-project lock location.

Pulling those into a coding-review prompt leaks sensitive context into work-flow reasoning. fetchSalience now strips entries whose slugs don't match an allowlist prefix BEFORE writing to the cache file. Default allowlist is SALIENCE_DEFAULT_ALLOWLIST = ['projects/', 'concepts/', 'gstack/']. User can extend via: gstack-config set salience_allowlist 'projects/,gstack/,concepts/,custom/' or override with GSTACK_SALIENCE_ALLOWLIST env var. Digest still records the strip count for transparency. Empty result emits 'all N entries stripped' note rather than silent absence. test/salience-allowlist.test.ts: 9 tests covering default permits, default blocks, empty allowlist, env override, whitespace trimming, and the invariant that defaults contain nothing sensitive (personal, family, therapy, reflection, private, medical, health).

Skill template is responsible for the AUQ-confirm-before-write flow (D10 T4 extraction- review requirement). Cli stays pure (no AUQ logic); agent owns user interaction. T18 — list/purge subcommands close the lifecycle loop: list [--project <slug>] — enumerate gstack-owned pages in brain (probe all 8 gstack/* page types) purge <slug> — delete one gstack page, refuses non-gstack/ slugs (defensive) list defaults to all-projects (cross-project user-profile included). With --project, filters to per-project pages plus the cross-project user-profile. --json flag emits machine-readable output for the agent.

Per-skill subset comes from SKILL_DIGEST_SUBSETS (single source). - generateBrainCacheRefresh(ctx) — at-skill-end background refresh hook; non-blocking; warms cache for next run. - generateBrainWriteBack(ctx) — Phase 2 / E5 calibration write-back with per-skill weight. Gated on personal trust policy + the BRAIN_CALIBRATION_WRITEBACK flag. Includes invalidation bash that busts affected digests after the write. scripts/resolvers/index.ts registers three new placeholders: {{BRAIN_PREFLIGHT}}, {{BRAIN_CACHE_REFRESH}}, {{BRAIN_WRITE_BACK}} All three resolvers return empty string for skills not in SKILL_DIGEST_SUBSETS (defensive — skill template authors can drop the placeholders into non-preflight skills with zero effect). D9 privacy is mentioned in the rendered preflight prose so the agent knows to expect filtered salience. D11 codex tension: write-back gates on brain_trust_policy@<hash> being personal — shared brains skip write-back to avoid polluting team calibration profile. test/brain-preflight.test.ts: 19 tests covering subset rendering, non-preflight skill gating, cross-project vs per-project --project flag emission, weight injection per skill, BRAIN_CALIBRATION_WRITEBACK flag mention, and registration in RESOLVERS map.

Required for per-endpoint namespaced keys (brain_trust_policy@<sha8>, user_slug_at_<sha8>). Keys without the suffix still validate as before. VALUE WHITELISTING (D4 / D11): brain_trust_policy@* values gated to personal | shared | unset. Unknown values warn + default to unset (defense against typos).

Loads the per-skill digest subset (5 files for office-hours, 2 for plan-eng- review, etc.) into the prompt context before any AskUserQuestion fires. {{BRAIN_WRITE_BACK}} — end of skill, before refresh hook. Phase 2 calibration write path; gated on personal policy + BRAIN_CALIBRATION_WRITEBACK flag. {{BRAIN_CACHE_REFRESH}} — end of skill, after write-back. Non-blocking background refresh so next invocation gets warm cache. Files touched (templates + regenerated SKILL.md): office-hours/SKILL.md.tmpl plan-ceo-review/SKILL.md.tmpl plan-eng-review/SKILL.md.tmpl plan-design-review/SKILL.md.tmpl plan-devex-review/SKILL.md.tmpl (matching .md files regenerated via bun run gen:skill-docs) All 5 generated SKILL.md files now contain the rendered ## Brain Context (preflight) section + write-back guidance + background-refresh hook. The resolver renders only for skills in SKILL_DIGEST_SUBSETS — these 5 + an empty string for any other skill that drops in the placeholders. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(brain): setup-gbrain trust-policy step + sync-gbrain flags (T5b / T13+T5c) T5b — setup-gbrain Step 9.5: Inserts the brain trust policy AskUserQuestion before the verdict block. Detects active endpoint hash via gstack-config endpoint-hash. Branches per transport: * Local (sha == "local"): auto-set personal, one-line notice * Remote-MCP, unset: AskUserQuestion (personal vs shared) * Already-set: skip, just print current policy Personal default flips artifacts_sync_mode=full when still off. T13+T5c — sync-gbrain: Adds two flag short-circuits: --refresh-cache : route to gstack-brain-cache refresh --project <slug>; skip code + memory + brain-sync stages. Replaces the planned /brain-refresh-context skill per D1 fold (one fewer always-loaded skill in catalog). --audit : emit gstack-owned page summary + sensitive-content leak check via gstack-brain-cache list. Read-only. Step 1 trust policy gate: fires the same AskUserQuestion as setup-gbrain Step 9.5 when policy is unset for a remote endpoint. Local engines auto-set personal silently. Idempotent for already-set policies. Both templates re-rendered via bun run gen:skill-docs. Trust policy question wording centralized in setup-gbrain Step 9.5; sync-gbrain Step 1 references it to avoid prompt drift. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(brain): schema migration + fence-block fallback + preflight budget (T19+T21) 3 new gate-tier test files closing the most important coverage gaps in the brain-aware planning layer: test/schema-version-migration.test.ts (D4 A4): - Cache file with mismatched schema_version triggers wipe-and-rebuild - Matching version + fresh TTL stays warm-hit (no unnecessary rebuild) - Rebuild wipes ALL files in scope, not just the one being read test/takes-fence-fallback.test.ts: - Every preflight skill mentions both takes_add (preferred) and put_page fence-block (fallback for pre-T8 gbrain versions) - All 5 skills gate on BRAIN_CALIBRATION_WRITEBACK flag + personal trust policy - Per-skill weight matches SKILL_CALIBRATION_WEIGHTS (E5) - Write-back emits the kind=bet frontmatter shape and invalidates affected cache digests test/skill-preflight-budget.test.ts (T21 / D7): - Per-skill BRAIN_* instruction bytes stay under 3x the runtime digest budget (resolver bloat catch) - Autoplan total instruction bytes stay under 75 KB (3x of 25 KB runtime cap) - Non-preflight skills emit zero brain bytes - Per-skill subset references are present in the preflight bash Note on the 3x multiplier: SKILL_PREFLIGHT_BUDGET_BYTES governs runtime digest data (enforced by cache CLI truncateToBudget). Instruction text emitted by the resolver gets a separate 3x headroom — anything beyond that signals the instructions themselves are bloated and need a trim. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(todos): brain-aware planning follow-ups (T11) Adds five deferred items from the v1.48.0.0 brain-aware planning plan: - P2: /gstack-reflect nightly synthesis skill (E2, deferred D4) - P3: cross-machine brain-cache sync (E3, deferred D5) - P3: /gstack-onboarding dedicated skill (E4, deferred D6) - P2: upstream gbrain takes_add + takes_resolve MCP ops (T8 wrap-up) - P3: background-refresh hook supervision (codex outside-voice T3) Each entry follows the TODOS.md format: What / Why / Pros / Cons / Context / Effort / Depends on. Each cross-references the v1.48.0.0 review decision (D-numbers from /plan-ceo-review and /plan-eng-review) that deferred it. The plan itself is at ~/.claude/plans/hm-interesting-well-why-dapper-eagle.md and is NOT a TODO entry (it's a one-shot design doc, not ongoing work). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(brain): bump schema-migration test timeout to 60s Rebuild path fans out to 7 per-project entity refreshes, each shelling gbrain with 10s internal timeout. Worst case ~70s. Default bun test 5s was timing out on slow brain unreachable cases. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.50.0.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): tighten put_page regression pin to CLI subcommand The test asserted no substring 'put_page' anywhere in the resolver, but the BRAIN_WRITE_BACK resolver legitimately references the MCP op `mcp__gbrain__put_page` as the fallback path for calibration takes when gbrain v0.42+'s `takes_add` op isn't available. The check conflated the deprecated `gbrain put_page` CLI subcommand (renamed in v0.18+ to `gbrain put`) with the still-valid MCP op of the same name. Narrow the assertion to `gbrain put_page` (with the space) so the fallback prose stays legal while the CLI rename regression stays caught. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(brain): gstack-config gbrain-refresh subcommand Adds a new subcommand that re-detects gbrain installation state and persists the result to ~/.gstack/gbrain-detection.json. The detection file is consumed by gen-skill-docs --respect-detection (next commit) to decide whether to render the GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD and GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS resolver blocks in user-local SKILL.md generation. Reuses the existing bin/gstack-gbrain-detect helper for the actual probe; this subcommand just persists + summarizes. Users run it after installing or uninstalling gbrain so their locally generated SKILL.md files match their installation state. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(brain): gen-skill-docs respects gbrain-detection override Adds --respect-detection flag (and bun run gen:skill-docs:user script). When the flag is set, gen-skill-docs reads ~/.gstack/gbrain-detection.json and filters GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD + GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS out of each host's suppressedResolvers when gbrain_local_status is "ok". When absent or gbrain isn't detected, suppression behaves as before. The default `bun run gen:skill-docs` (CI canonical) ignores the detection file so the committed SKILL.md stays reproducible regardless of any developer's local gbrain installation state. Use gen:skill-docs:user for user-local installs (./setup invokes it). No host config files modified — the static suppressedResolvers stay correct for the no-gbrain case; the override happens at gen-time. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(brain): setup runs gbrain detection + conditional SKILL.md regen At the end of install, ./setup now: 1. Runs bin/gstack-gbrain-detect, persists the result to ~/.gstack/gbrain-detection.json 2. If gbrain_local_status == "ok", regenerates Claude-host SKILL.md via `bun run gen:skill-docs:user --host claude` so the user's local install picks up the compressed brain-aware blocks 3. If gbrain isn't detected, leaves the canonical no-gbrain SKILL.md files in place (zero token overhead) and surfaces the gstack-config gbrain-refresh path for users who install gbrain later Together with the prior two commits, this completes the setup-time conditional un-suppression: brain-aware blocks render iff the user has gbrain installed, regardless of which CLI host they're on. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(brain): compress GBRAIN_* resolvers, move template prose to docs/ generateGBrainContextLoad: 80 -> 115 tokens with explicit skip-header. generateGBrainSaveResults: 500-700 -> 161 tokens per skill with the skill metadata extracted into a typed skillSaveMap (slugPrefix + title + tag). Verbose prose (heredoc body, entity-stub instructions, throttle handling, backlink protocol) moved into a new doc: docs/gbrain-write-surfaces.md (Sections: §Context Load, §Save Template). The agent reads the doc on-demand only when actually saving — one Read call, cached by Claude's context. Net per-planning-skill overhead under un-suppression drops from ~1000 tokens (naive un-suppression) to ~275 tokens (compressed). Combined with the setup-time detection from prior commits, users WITHOUT gbrain pay zero overhead (block suppressed at gen-time) and users WITH gbrain pay ~275 tokens. The /investigate special-case (data-research routing in CONTEXT_LOAD) stays inline since it's skill-specific. docs/gbrain-write-surfaces.md also serves as the manual-probe reference for humans verifying live persistence + a topology summary covering trust-policy + .gbrain-source reads-only semantics. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(brain): wire SAVE_RESULTS for plan-design-review + plan-devex-review Adds {{GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS}} placeholder to the two planning skills that were missing it, immediately before {{BRAIN_WRITE_BACK}} (mirrors plan-eng-review:324 + office-hours:650). The corresponding skillSaveMap entries (design-reviews/<feature-slug> + devex-reviews/<feature-slug>) landed with the resolver compression in the prior commit. Regenerated SKILL.md reflects the new placeholder position. The default no-gbrain generation (CI canonical) still suppresses the block — zero diff in the rendered output for non-gbrain users. All five planning skills now write a retrievable review page to gbrain when gbrain is detected at setup time, instead of three of five. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(brain): resolver compression + detection-override regression pins test/resolvers-gbrain-save-results.test.ts (140 LOC, 10 tests): - Per-skill assertions for all 5 planning skills: emits gbrain put + correct slug prefix + tag + title. - Skip-header present so agent can short-circuit when gbrain isn't on PATH. - Compression pin: each per-skill block stays under 750 chars (~190 tokens) — guards against a future "let me add one more line" refactor silently re-inflating toward the ~1000-token naive un-suppression baseline. - Generic fallback for unmapped skill names still works. - /investigate gets the data-research routing suffix; non-investigate skills do not. - generateGBrainContextLoad stays under 500 chars (~125 tokens). test/gbrain-detection-override.test.ts (120 LOC, 4 tests): - End-to-end through gen-skill-docs subprocess against an isolated temp GSTACK_HOME. Asserts: * detected:true un-suppresses GBRAIN_* → SKILL.md gains the block * detected:false (status != "ok") suppresses → no block * no detection file suppresses → no block (graceful default) * no --respect-detection flag IGNORES the detection file → no block (CI canonical path stays reproducible) Each detection-override test restores the canonical SKILL.md in a finally block so the working tree stays clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(brain): fake-CLI agent-obedience E2E for /office-hours writeback test/skill-e2e-office-hours-brain-writeback.test.ts (~210 LOC, periodic-tier, ~$0.50-1/run): Drives /office-hours via runSkillTest against a deterministic fixture brief (pixel.fund founder pitch). The workdir has: - A regenerated office-hours/SKILL.md with the compressed brain blocks (generated via gen-skill-docs --respect-detection against a temp GSTACK_HOME, then restored to canonical post-snapshot) - A fake gbrain shell script on PATH that uses printf %q quoting to preserve --content "$(cat <<'EOF' ... EOF)" heredoc payloads intact (naive `echo "$@"` would lose argv boundaries) - The docs/gbrain-write-surfaces.md the resolver points to Asserts: - gbrain-calls.log contains `gbrain put office-hours/pixel-fund` - Payload file at gbrain-payloads/office-hours/pixel-fund.md exists with valid YAML frontmatter (title: + tags: + design-doc tag) - At least one gbrain put entities/<name> call (entity stub enrichment is best-effort, soft warning if absent) Covers agent obedience to the SAVE_RESULTS instruction. Out of scope: gbrain CLI persistence contract (T11 covers that with real PGLite). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(brain): real PGLite round-trip E2E (matched-pair persistence) test/skill-e2e-gbrain-roundtrip-local.test.ts (~145 LOC, periodic-tier, ~$0.001/run on Voyage): Real gbrain CLI round-trip against an isolated temp HOME: 1. gbrain init --pglite --embedding-model voyage:voyage-code-3 2. gbrain put office-hours/<unique-slug> --content <markdown> 3. gbrain get <slug> 4. Assert every body line survives + title + tags + non-empty This is the matched-pair check for the v1.50.0.0 question "is the data we hope to save actually being saved?" — proves the gbrain CLI persistence contract gstack relies on, against a real engine. Does NOT involve the agent — pure CLI integration test. The agent obedience side is covered by the fake-CLI E2E in the prior commit. Skips cleanly when VOYAGE_API_KEY is unset OR gbrain CLI is missing from PATH, so CI without secrets degrades gracefully. Remote/Supabase routing is gbrain's contract — the same CLI shape works against every engine. gstack stops at local round-trip coverage to avoid re-testing gbrain's MCP client implementation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(brain): touchfiles + TODOS + CHANGELOG for v1.50.0.0 test/helpers/touchfiles.ts: register the two new E2Es in E2E_TOUCHFILES + E2E_TIERS (both periodic): - office-hours-brain-writeback: triggered by resolver / gen-pipeline / detection helper / refresh subcommand / office-hours template / docs / fixture / test file changes - gbrain-roundtrip-local: triggered by resolver / test file changes TODOS.md: append two P2 follow-ups carried over from the v1.50 plan: - Re-verify calibration takes when gbrain v0.42+ ships takes_add and BRAIN_CALIBRATION_WRITEBACK flips TRUE - Extend brain-writeback E2E to the other 4 planning skills (extract makeFakeGbrain to test/helpers/fake-gbrain.ts when second consumer arrives) CHANGELOG.md v1.50.0.0: add a "Save-results path: works under any CLI when gbrain is on PATH" section that documents the headline: - Conditional inclusion at setup-time (zero overhead for non-gbrain users, ~250 tokens with gbrain) - Wiring symmetry fix (5 of 5 planning skills now write a page) - Token cost table comparing detection states - Test coverage map (resolver unit + override mechanism + fake-CLI agent obedience + real PGLite round-trip) - Why remote routing isn't tested here (gbrain's contract) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(brain): tighten prompt + relax slug assertion in writeback E2E Two fixes: 1. Prompt: "Slug it 'pixel-fund'" was ambiguous — agent could read it as "use pixel-fund as the FULL slug" instead of "substitute pixel-fund for <feature-slug>". Replaced with explicit guidance: "The feature-slug value to substitute into the SAVE_RESULTS template's <feature-slug> placeholder is exactly 'pixel-fund' (no path prefix — the template already provides the prefix). Apply the SAVE_RESULTS template literally." Also added "Do NOT explore gbrain --help" to short-circuit the discovery loop the agent fell into. 2. Slug assertion: was a strict /gbrain put .*office-hours\/pixel-fund/ regex. This conflated two concerns — agent obedience (does the agent actually invoke gbrain put?) vs resolver output shape (does the template emit the right prefix?). The latter is already pinned by test/resolvers-gbrain-save-results.test.ts at the resolver level (free, hermetic). The E2E now asserts /gbrain put .*pixel-fund/ (slug contains pixel-fund somewhere) plus a recursive payload-file search that accepts either office-hours/pixel-fund.md (template- faithful) or pixel-fund.md (agent dropped prefix). The YAML frontmatter + tag assertions on the payload remain strict — those are the real agent-obedience contract. 3. Entity-stub regex: was looking for entities/<name>; agent variability uses entity/<name>, people/<name>, companies/<name>. Loosened to match entit(y|ies) only. The soft-warning path stays (no hard fail) because entity extraction is best-effort prose, not a CLI contract. Verified passing locally: 7 expect() calls, 268s, ~$0.50. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump version to 1.51.1.0 main advanced to 1.51.0.0 while this branch was in development. Bump to 1.51.1.0 (PATCH above main) so the branch lands cleanly above the current main version per the monotonic-ordered-release invariant. Renames the branch-internal [1.50.0.0] CHANGELOG entry to [1.51.1.0] — 1.50.0.0 never landed on main (main skipped to 1.51.0.0), so this consolidates the branch's brain-aware planning + save-results work under a single shipping version with no orphaned entry. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * v1.52.2.0 fix(make-pdf): render emoji instead of tofu (▯) on Linux (#1787) * fix(make-pdf): emoji font fallback in print CSS Emoji code points rendered as .notdef tofu (▯) because the body and @top-center font stacks had no emoji family for Chromium to fall back to. Add SANS_STACK / CJK_STACK / EMOJI_FAMILIES constants (one source of truth per family list) and append the emoji families before the generic sans-serif in the two stacks that can hold emoji. The @bottom-* boxes hold counters / a fixed CONFIDENTIAL string, so they share SANS_STACK without emoji. Non-emoji output is byte-identical. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(setup): auto-install color-emoji font on Linux macOS and Windows ship a color-emoji font; most Linux distros/containers ship none, so make-pdf emits tofu there. ensure_emoji_font() best-effort installs fonts-noto-color-emoji (apt, with dnf/pacman/apk fallbacks) and refreshes the fontconfig cache. Hardened: Linux-only guard, GSTACK_SKIP_FONTS escape hatch, fc-match color=True detection (the broad fc-list query false-matched LastResort), sudo -n so a password prompt fails fast instead of hanging, DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive, timeout 30 on apt update, and fc-cache under sudo. Warns instead of failing. After a fresh install, refresh_browse_daemon_for_fonts() runs 'browse stop' so the next render spawns a Chromium that sees the new font (font fallback is process-cached). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(make-pdf): emoji render gate (pdffonts + pixel proof) pdftotext is a false oracle for emoji: Skia preserves the Unicode in the text cluster even when the glyph drew as .notdef tofu, so extraction passes on a broken render. The gate instead asserts (1) pdffonts shows an emoji family embedded and (2) pdftoppm rasterizes the page to color (measured ~1650 saturated pixels vs ~0 for tofu). pdfimages is not used: macOS embeds color emoji as Type 3 fonts, so it lists nothing even on a correct render. Adds resolvePopplerTool() (DRY resolver, returns null for clean skips) and a fixture exercising FE0F variation-selector emoji. Skips cleanly when poppler tools or a color-emoji font are unavailable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * ci(make-pdf): install emoji font + run emoji gate on Ubuntu Install fonts-noto-color-emoji before Chromium launches on the Ubuntu leg (macOS already ships Apple Color Emoji), refresh fontconfig, and log the fc-match result. Run the whole make-pdf/test/e2e/ dir so the emoji gate runs alongside the combined-features copy-paste gate. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * harden(make-pdf): emoji gate + font install per adversarial review Codex adversarial pass on the implementation diff flagged five robustness gaps, all fixed here: - emoji-gate skipped green in CI when poppler/font prerequisites were absent, which could let the tofu regression ship behind a green build. Missing prerequisites are now a HARD FAILURE when process.env.CI is set; local dev still skips cleanly. - execFileSync children (make-pdf, pdffonts, pdftoppm, fc-match) had no timeout; a wedged binary or hostile GSTACK_*_BIN override could hang the job past Bun's test timeout. Each child now has a 25s ceiling. - PPM parser trusted header tokens blindly; malformed/variant output gave a silently-wrong count. Now validates magic/dimensions/maxval and pixel-buffer length, handles header comments, throws a hard diagnostic on mismatch. - predictable /tmp paths were collision/symlink-prone; now mkdtempSync under /tmp (kept under /tmp for browse's validateOutputPath allowlist). - only apt-get update was timeout-wrapped; dnf/pacman/apk installs and apt install can hang on locks/mirrors. All package installs now timeout-bound.

3 people	f8bb59094d	v1.47.0.0 feat: /spec — author backlog-ready spec in 5 phases + optional agent spawn (#1698) (#1733) ... * feat(issue): add /issue skill for backlog-ready GitHub issue authoring Interrogates an ambiguous request through five strict phases (why, scope, technical, draft, final) and produces a GitHub issue precise enough that an unfamiliar engineer or AI agent can execute it without follow-up. Slots in after /office-hours (when the idea has passed the "worth building" bar) and before /plan-eng-review (which assumes a plan already exists). - issue/SKILL.md.tmpl + generated SKILL.md - routing entry in root SKILL.md.tmpl - llms.txt regenerated to include the new skill * chore(spec): rename /issue → /spec + fix duplicate analytics block Foundation commit for the /spec skill (extends PR #1698 by @jayzalowitz). - Renames issue/ → spec/ (template + generated) - Removes the hand-rolled analytics block in spec/SKILL.md.tmpl (lines 46-49 of the original); {{PREAMBLE}} already emits the analytics write with the telemetry opt-out guard, so the duplicate would have bypassed gstack-config set telemetry off - Updates frontmatter (name: spec, expanded description with magical-moment preview, triggers reordered to lead with "spec this out") - Updates root SKILL.md.tmpl routing entry → /spec - Regenerates spec/SKILL.md and gstack/llms.txt via bun run gen:skill-docs Co-Authored-By: Jay Zalowitz <jayzalowitz@gmail.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(spec): expansions — flags, archive, quality gate, plan-mode-aware Phase 5, /ship integration, tests Builds on the @jayzalowitz foundation (commit a4e6ee38) with the full expansion set from CEO + Eng + DX review (24 user decisions + 23 of 28 codex adversarial findings). spec/SKILL.md.tmpl additions: - Flag reference table (--dedupe / --no-gate / --audit / --execute / --no-execute / --file-only / --plan-file / --sync-archive). - Phase 1b --dedupe (default ON): gh issue list --search with graceful skip on gh-not-installed / unauthed / rate-limited / other errors. AskUserQuestion when matches found (merge / file-new / cancel). - Phase 3 HARD requirement: agent MUST grep/read at least one piece of evidence before asking. Project-level fallback prose for prompts with no concrete file mapping. Greenfield escape clause. - Phase 4.5 quality gate (default ON): codex adversarial dispatch with fail-closed redaction (AWS/GitHub/Anthropic/OpenAI/private-key regex), hard <<<USER_SPEC>>> delimiters + instruction boundary (prompt-injection defense), score 0-10 with <7 block, up to 3 iterations, AskUserQuestion escape on persistent <7 (ship anyway / save draft / one more try). - Phase 5 plan-mode-aware dispatch: reads GSTACK_PLAN_MODE env. Active → file-only + load into plan file. Inactive → file + --execute spawn by default. CLI overrides for explicit control. - Archive block via eval $(gstack-paths) → $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/projects/ $SLUG/specs/<datetime>-<pid>-<slug>.md. Atomic .tmp/mv write. Sync excluded by default; --sync-archive to opt in. - --execute path: dirty-worktree gate (porcelain check + 3-option AUQ continue/stash/cancel), TOCTOU re-check after AUQ answer, SHA pin via git rev-parse HEAD, unique branch spec/<slug>-$$ + PID-suffixed worktree, mandatory final-confirm gate, stash policy with restore safety (preserve ref, never auto-drop). - TTHW timestamps captured at Phase 1 / first citation / file-or-spawn, emitted as ttfc_ms + tthw_ms in preamble telemetry envelope. Cross-system plumbing: - scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-preamble-bash.ts: emit GSTACK_PLAN_MODE=active|inactive based on CLAUDE_PLAN_FILE presence. - scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-routing-injection.ts: add /spec to the routing block injected into project CLAUDE.md. - ship/SKILL.md.tmpl: new "Linked Spec" PR-body section. Reads archive frontmatter spec_issue_number and adds Closes #N when full delivery confirmed by existing plan-completion gate (codex F4 — conditional). Branch-name inference NOT used (codex F3 — fragile under rebase).
