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 Guarantee withdrawn (nothing to protect).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 Guarantee withdrawn;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  no test, touchfile or script reads them; superseded baselines stay in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. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: periodic PTY case skill-e2e-plan-ceo-review-section-loading and the plan-ceo workflow judges.
Sentence pins: 13 -> 1.

* test(plan-eng): convert eng-review-routing.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: plan-eng E2E cases (skill-e2e-plan-eng-*) and the plan-eng workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 28 -> 6.

* test(plan-eng): convert eng-scope-entry-ap.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: plan-eng E2E cases (skill-e2e-plan-eng-*) and the plan-eng workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 16 -> 5.

* test(plan): convert plan-scope-selection.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: plan-review E2E cases and workflow judges in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 19 -> 2.

* test(qa): convert qa-lazy-sections.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 71 -> 11.

* test(qa): convert qa-browser-preservation.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 25 -> 11.

* test(qa): convert qa-probe-gates.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 20 -> 5.

* test(qa): convert qa-checkpoint-evidence.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 7 -> 5.

* test(qa): convert qa-evidence.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 4 -> 3.

* test(design): convert design-consultation-contract.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: design-consultation E2E/judge cases in touchfiles-data.
Sentence pins: 44 -> 11.

* test(outside-voice): convert run-in-background-guidance.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: outside-voice E2E cases and plan-review workflow judges.
Sentence pins: 35 -> 5.

* test(spec): convert spec-template-invariants.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: spec E2E/judge cases in touchfiles-data.
Sentence pins: 36 -> 21.

* perf(evals): 420 s census slice budget; case-shard skill-e2e-qa-workflow; seed its case walls (W5c)

* feat(evals): evals.yml dispatch contract for eval:bg (CEO-17/29, DX-1, ENG-8/12)

workflow_dispatch gains base_ref, base_sha, expected_sha, nonce and
pr_receipts. 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. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: review E2E cases (skill-e2e-review*) and the review workflow judge in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 85 -> 17.

* test(review): convert review-entry-and-design-clarity-au.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: review E2E cases (skill-e2e-review*) and the review workflow judge in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 15 -> 4.

* test(review): convert review-enum-lifecycle.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: review E2E cases (skill-e2e-review*) and the review workflow judge in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 8 -> 0.

* test(ship): convert ship-control-flow.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: ship E2E cases (skill-e2e-ship*, skill-e2e-workflow) and the 'ship/SKILL.md workflow' judge.
Sentence pins: 74 -> 9.

* test(ship): convert ship-skip-requeue.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: ship E2E cases (skill-e2e-ship*, skill-e2e-workflow) and the 'ship/SKILL.md workflow' judge.
Sentence pins: 28 -> 3.

* test(ship): convert ship-plan-completion-invariants.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: ship E2E cases (skill-e2e-ship*, skill-e2e-workflow) and the 'ship/SKILL.md workflow' judge.
Sentence pins: 28 -> 12.

* test(ship): convert ship-reentry-gates.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword

* 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(windows): exclude the skip-only claude-overlay setup files from the Windows subset

Their real-setup cases are describe.skipIf(win32); after the split their bin/
spawns live in the shared helper, so the source scan stopped seeing them.

* test: restore pins on renderer output and paid-fixture inputs

cso-contracts (the report renderer's required empty phrase), memory-ingest
(binary output), carve-plan-fixture, ship-skip-actor and cso-eval (inputs the
paid harness builds) assert product or fixture output, not skill prose, so the
value-bar narrowing does not apply to them.

* feat(eval-policy): v2 series identity, HARNESS_VERSION guard and identity backtest

W4a (CEO-27/ENG-3/DX-6), not yet wired to the writer: caseSeriesIdentitiesV2
keys a case by the bytes it owns (paid test file, fixtures, its skills' prompt
files including the generated SKILL.md) plus HARNESS_VERSION, and records the
full consumed-input fingerprint as provenance. scripts/harness-version.json
pins the blob of every shared-harness file (GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES plus the session
runners, PTY harness, e2e gate and LLM judge), one line per file;
test/harness-version.test.ts fails on drift with both fixes, and
scripts/bump-harness-version.ts records the decision: --bump (new series for
every case) or --non-behavioral (compatibility entry, no reset).
eval-trial-series --backtest replays identities over weekly main revisions
and recorded trials (ENG-3/DX-12).

* feat(pass-rates): weekly history is main's scheduled runs plus main dispatches

W4b: pass-rates reads evals-periodic history from main only, keeping scheduled
runs and main dispatches and never a branch dispatch, so back-to-back branch
validation runs neither feed pass rates nor count as weeks for quarantine
expiry or drift. --branch <name> still reads one branch's runs for inspection.

* docs(test-audit): EVAL_POLICY v2 decision memo with the identity backtest

D1 memo (CEO-33, ENG-3, DX-12, CEO-27): P(green) arithmetic, false-blocking
targets, the v2 identity rule and harness guard, weekly history, W4c evidence
(the named 'stochastic' cases pass 26/27 to 34/34, so they stay rule), the
backtest over 29 weekly main revisions and 14,898 recorded trials, what it
means for quarantine reachability, alternatives (gating vs trended, adaptive
panels not adopted, buy vs build), and the rollback proof on the pre-PR reader.

* feat(eval-policy): EVAL_POLICY v2 writer: case-owned series identity

The v2 writer, last commit of the W4 block (DX-12/ENG-14/ENG-21): the report
job's stamp now writes caseSeriesIdentitiesV2 (case-owned bytes plus
HARNESS_VERSION) as series_identity, the full consumed-input fingerprint as
series_fingerprint and harness_version as provenance, and EVAL_POLICY.version
is 2 (approved 2026-10-04, D1). 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.

* 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

* 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.

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.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5.1 c241216637 v1.80.0.0 fix: setup survives a failed Chromium install, hooks share one state root, gstack never clobbers a skill it did not create (#2802)
* fix(freeze): hook reads the same state root /freeze writes — fails closed under GSTACK_HOME (#1459, #1509)

check-freeze.sh resolved its state dir as ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA:-$HOME/.gstack}
while every writer (/freeze, /guard, /unfreeze, /investigate) resolves through
bin/gstack-paths, GSTACK_HOME first. With GSTACK_HOME set, /freeze wrote
freeze-dir.txt under GSTACK_HOME, the hook read $HOME/.gstack, found no file,
and allowed everything — a deny-tier boundary failing open.

One resolver now: gstack_hook_state_root() in careful/bin/hook-extract.sh
(already sourced by both check-freeze.sh and check-careful.sh) implements the
exact gstack-paths chain, including the CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT guard that keeps a
CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA leaked from another plugin from redirecting our state.
check-freeze.sh and gstack_hook_log_fire both call it; nothing spawns
gstack-paths from a hook.

Tests: the GSTACK_HOME deny regression, GSTACK_HOME-over-CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA
precedence, plugin-root guard both ways, and a byte-parity check against
bin/gstack-paths across six env combinations. Existing freeze tests now pass
CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT like a real plugin install would.

Idea from PR #1509 (@NikhileshNanduri); implemented natively against the shared
resolver rather than a second fallback chain.

* fix(relink): never delete or link over a skill gstack does not own (#2119)

gstack-relink runs on every ./setup. Its cleanup did `rm -rf` on any same-name
entry whose SKILL.md was a symlink, with no readlink check, and its link step
did `mkdir -p` then `ln -snf` onto any existing SKILL.md — on Linux that
replaces a user's real file with a symlink into gstack (macOS refused by
accident). setup's Windows mode-flip cleanup deleted any real dir whose name
matched a gstack skill. A personal `qa` skill, or a fork installed under
another path, was destroyed by the installer of a tool it never asked for.

Ownership is now proven, never assumed. An entry is ours when it is a symlink
resolving into INSTALL_DIR or RENDER_DIR, a real dir whose SKILL.md is such a
symlink, or a real dir carrying the .gstack-owned marker setup now writes for
Windows copy installs (legacy copies count when byte-identical to the source
or carrying gen-skill-docs' AUTO-GENERATED header). Anything else — including
an entry whose readlink fails — is foreign: left untouched, reported on
stderr, and listed in relink's summary line. The same rule replaces setup's
Windows name-match deletion; setup:1040 and gstack-uninstall:204 already
gated on readlink, so this closes the last unguarded deleter of the class.

Tests: foreign real dir in flat mode, foreign flat entry on a prefix flip,
foreign directory symlink, RENDER_DIR-targeted entry (ours), marker-carrying
copy (ours), marker-less copy (foreign); the Windows cleanup test now proves
provenance three ways and keeps the user's own same-name skill.

Idea and two regression cases from PR #2119 (@smblight); implemented on the
destination entry, not only the symlink target.

* fix(setup): Chromium bootstrap is best-effort and bounded — skills always register (#1900, #1901, #1902, #913, #2233)

setup runs under `set -e`, and the Chromium bootstrap in section 2 sat ahead
of skill registration in section 4 with a bare `bunx playwright install
chromium`, an unbounded download, and an explicit `exit 1` after the
post-install launch probe. On an offline, proxied, or AppArmor-restricted box
the user ended with ZERO skills registered and a re-run that died at the same
line; a wedged download hung setup indefinitely.

Every browser failure now records a reason code in _PW_FAIL_REASON and setup
continues: skipped (GSTACK_SKIP_PLAYWRIGHT=1, #913), chromium-install,
chromium-install-timeout (the download is bounded by the existing
_wait_with_deadline helper, default 600s, env GSTACK_PLAYWRIGHT_INSTALL_TIMEOUT,
process tree killed via _kill_tree), chromium-install-locked (another setup
holds the lock: this one registers skills and re-probes next time instead of
exiting), windows-no-node, windows-node-modules, post-install-launch (with the
GSTACK_CHROMIUM_NO_SANDBOX=1 hint for Ubuntu 24.04's userns policy, #2157).
The daemon font refresh is skipped when Chromium is unavailable. The final
summary names the skills that need the browser (/qa, /qa-only,
/design-review, /browse, make-pdf, /pair-agent) and the fix for the recorded
reason, and logs the reason code (never a path) through gstack-telemetry-log
when telemetry is on.

Tests: static invariants over the anchor-sliced block (no exit, every reason
code, deadline helper, trap chaining, guarded refresh, summary contents) plus
an integration harness that executes the real block with a stubbed probe and
installer: install failure, hang killed at the deadline with the tree kill
recorded, non-numeric knob fallback, live lock (continues, installer not run,
lock preserved), stale lock reclaimed, post-install probe failure, and the
skip flag.

Credit @DavidMiserak (PR #1900) for the best-effort shape; re-implemented on
the current block.

* docs(designs): preserve the time-attack fork-port residual evaluation

The read-only evaluation of what remains portable from time-attack/gstack
(583 raw candidates, 415 canonical, 287 with a residual, 48 adversarially
refuted, 14 standing) lived only on a throwaway VM. This records the report,
the lite residual index, the absorbed/superseded ledger, the refuter
verdicts, and SHAS.md with the fork tip, upstream HEAD, merge-base, and a
sha256 per file, so every scheduled fix in this wave series traces to its
evidence.

* docs: file the fork-port residual deferrals and document the Chromium bootstrap knobs

TODOS.md gains the seven items the CEO and eng reviews of the fork-port
residual plan deliberately deferred (shared ownership helper, config-key
reader tripwire, "pre-existing" vocabulary, opt-in reply_language, .auth.json
writer removal, the fork-derived-change rule for CONTRIBUTING, hook slug
parity audit), each with rationale, and updates the two residual bullets for
PR #2232 and PR #2233 with their dispositions. README's Troubleshooting
section explains the best-effort Chromium bootstrap and its three knobs.

* fix(relink): canonicalize link targets before the ownership check

Pre-landing review finding: the ownership gate compared readlink output
textually against INSTALL_DIR and RENDER_DIR, so two shapes of gstack's OWN
entries read as foreign and were left behind on a mode flip — a legacy
relative link (`gstack/qa/SKILL.md`, resolved against $PWD instead of the
link's directory) and an entry linked against the real path of a symlinked
install dir (~/.claude/skills/gstack -> checkout). Both now resolve: relative
targets anchor at the link's directory, the directory part is canonicalized
with pwd -P (the basename stays verbatim so a dangling managed target is not
misread), and both spellings of each root are accepted. Two regression tests.

* fix(telemetry): one-shot setup events never sweep other sessions' pending markers

gstack-telemetry-log finalizes every .pending-<session> marker that is not
the caller's own as outcome:unknown and deletes it. setup's onboarding
events (_setup_welcome, _setup_playwright) have no session of their own, so
a Chromium bootstrap failure during a live skill session recorded a false
unknown for that session and removed its marker.

New --no-sweep flag skips the stale-marker pass; both setup call sites use
it (the synthetic --session-id did not prevent the sweep). Surfaced by the
Codex adversarial pass.

* fix(hooks): partial upgrades fail closed for freeze and fall back for careful

A hook script and its sourced helper can be copied at different times. With
an older careful/bin/hook-extract.sh that lacks gstack_hook_state_root:

- check-freeze.sh now emits a deny ("fail closed, re-run ./setup or
  /unfreeze") instead of dying under set -e with no decision JSON.
- check-careful.sh falls back to ${GSTACK_HOME:-$HOME/.gstack} so project
  rules under the plain chain still load and a decision is always emitted
  (a warn hook must never break on a stale helper).

gstack_hook_state_root prints its root without a trailing newline and both
callers capture it with a printf-x sentinel, so a GSTACK_HOME ending in a
newline round-trips byte-for-byte with the writer's %q form.
gstack_hook_log_fire stays on ${GSTACK_HOME:-$HOME/.gstack}/analytics, the
same two-step chain every other analytics writer and reader uses, so the
usage log remains one file under a plugin install.

* fix(setup): never link over, copy over, or reap a skill gstack does not own (#2119)

The relink gate alone left three destructive sites open:

- link_claude_skill_dirs runs BEFORE relink on every ./setup and used
  `ln -snf` (Linux replaces a user's real SKILL.md with a symlink into
  gstack) or, on Windows, rm -rf + cp followed by a marker that made the
  user's directory "ours" on the next flip. It and _install_alias_skill_md
  now consult _claude_entry_is_ours first and skip loudly.
- cleanup_prefixed_claude_symlinks kept a bare name-match deletion and a
  `*gstack*` substring match. Symlink arms use anchored `gstack/` segment
  patterns; the Windows real-file arm proves provenance (marker,
  byte-identity with our source, or the full two-line gen-skill-docs banner
  within the first 40 lines, never a one-line substring another generator
  could emit). cleanup_old_claude_symlinks uses the same banner rule.
- gstack-relink's fast path judged absolute targets before canonicalizing,
  so `/x/gstack/../foreign/SKILL.md` counted as ours; dot-segment targets
  now canonicalize first. Its banner rule matches setup's.

The `.gstack-owned` marker records the owning payload's realpath. Entries
skipped by setup or relink are listed in the final setup summary.

Chromium bootstrap refinements from the pre-landing review: an INT/TERM
trap kills the installer's process tree; the Windows npm chain no longer
masks an install failure; GSTACK_SKIP_PLAYWRIGHT=1 is reported as a choice
rather than a failure and sends no telemetry; the timeout knob is
normalized (0, 000, non-numeric, or more than nine digits fall back to the
600s default instead of killing on the first poll or never killing).

* fix(setup,relink): ownership proof has two strengths; weak proof never deletes a directory or discards a differing file

The first #2119 gate treated a byte-identical or banner-bearing real-file
SKILL.md as full ownership, so a prefix flip could rm -rf a user's directory
(their own qa skill started from a gstack SKILL.md, plus my-templates/) and
the link pass could replace their customized file with a symlink. Two
strengths now:

- STRONG: the .gstack-owned marker (we created the directory), or a
  directory holding nothing but symlinks and the marker (deleting it loses
  no data). Only strong proof removes a directory whole.
- WEAK: byte-identity with our source or the two-line gen-skill-docs banner
  on a real file. Weak proof covers that SKILL.md and our runtime-asset
  links only; a differing file is moved to
  ${GSTACK_HOME:-~/.gstack}/backups/skills/<ts>/<skill>/ before we link
  over it, and setup/relink print one summary line naming what moved.

The marker is written on every platform now (path-independent proof for
Windows copies and for checkouts whose path carries no gstack segment), but
only for a directory gstack creates: a directory we merely link into
(unclaimed, or a legacy install) never becomes deletable whole. A directory
with no SKILL.md at all is unclaimed: the link pass may add our file, the
cleanup pass has nothing to remove.

Also from the review passes: the banner check reads 8192 bytes, not 40
lines (investigate, office-hours, plan-ceo-review and design-consultation
carry the banner past line 40 and were left "foreign" on pre-marker
Windows installs); a link into a checkout named without a gstack segment
(git worktree add ../gstack-<branch>) is ours when that tree carries
setup + VERSION + bin/; relink's fast path is gone so both files
canonicalize before judging; relink's root alias (_gstack-command) is
gated and stamped like every other entry; relink reports the bare entry
name with setup's wording and setup dedupes when forwarding
(_run_relink_quiet); the summary names the browser skills as examples.

* fix(setup): Chromium-install lock reclaim is atomic and pid-validated; abandoned locks expire; the tree kill walks /proc without pgrep

- A pid file holding "", "-1" or "0" counted as a live holder (kill -0 -1
  signals every process and succeeds), locking Chromium out for good. A pid
  must be a positive integer; anything else is stale.
- Two setups judging the same lock stale raced on rm -rf + mkdir and the
  loser deleted the winner's fresh lock. The stale dir is renamed first
  (atomic), so exactly one reclaims.
- A lock dir with no pid file (killed between mkdir and echo) was never
  reclaimed; it now expires once older than the install bound.
- _kill_tree needed pgrep; debian-slim and git-bash ship none, so the bound
  killed only the wrapper subshell and the installer kept running. Without
  pgrep the children are found by walking /proc/*/stat.
- The timeout knob is normalized in one place with one comment; the trap's
  exit 130 is the only exit the block may contain.

* fix(freeze): an unexpected non-zero death denies via an EXIT backstop instead of exiting with no decision

set -e plus a failing pipeline (a tool on PATH exiting non-zero, a deleted
cwd) ended the deny-tier hook with no JSON, which Claude Code treats as
non-blocking: the edit outside the boundary proceeded. The EXIT trap now
prints a deny for any non-zero exit that happens before a decision was
written; every deliberate output sets _FREEZE_DECIDED first so a late
failure never prints a second object.

Tests also pin careful's state-root precedence (GSTACK_HOME over
CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA, plugin data when CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT names gstack) and
the specific "out of date" deny for a helper without gstack_hook_state_root.

* test: the two remaining linker harnesses extract the ownership helpers; the marker is the one allowed dotfile

setup-claude-skill-assets and user-render-out-dir-install slice
link_claude_skill_dirs out of setup without the helpers it now calls, so
the extracted function died with "command not found" (or, inside an if,
degraded into "foreign, skipped"). Both harnesses now carry the full helper
set and the globals. The hidden-files census allows .gstack-owned, which
the linker writes for directories it creates rather than copying from the
skill source.

* fix(setup,relink): weak proof never costs the user a file — assets, flips, failed backups, foreign dir links, alias markers

Third review cycle on the ownership model, every item reproduced against a
fixture before the fix:

- Runtime assets (sections/, templates/, checklist.md, ...) were refreshed
  with rm -rf regardless of who owned the directory, so an unclaimed or
  weakly-owned directory lost the user's same-named real files. Real assets
  are now replaced only in a directory gstack created or strongly owns
  (marker, or SKILL.md symlink into gstack), plus the legacy Windows
  real-copy shape; elsewhere they are kept and reported. Symlinks are never
  content and are always refreshed.
- The prefix-flip cleanup deleted a customized banner-bearing SKILL.md that
  the link pass would have backed up. Both cleanups now compare the file
  against the source (raw, or with its name: line rewritten to the entry
  name, which is how alias and prefixed copies legitimately differ) and
  move a differing file to the backup root.
- A failed backup (unwritable root) returned success and the caller linked
  over the file anyway. It now fails, and the entry is left untouched and
  reported.
- A foreign DIRECTORY symlink whose target had no SKILL.md fell through to
  the "unclaimed directory" rule and was replaced by a real directory. A
  symlink that does not resolve into gstack is foreign, full stop.
- The alias installers stamped .gstack-owned into pre-existing directories;
  they now follow the same created-or-already-marked rule.
- A directory counts as "only links" only when every link resolves into
  gstack: a user's own symlink makes it mixed, so their link survives.
- The gstack-tree heuristic requires bin/gstack-relink, not just a VERSION
  file, a setup script and a bin/ directory.

* fix(setup): lock reclaim hands a fresh lock back; a live holder past the bound is stale; /proc walk strips through the last paren

- Reclaim renamed the lock by path after judging it stale, so a second setup
  that had already reclaimed and re-created it lost its fresh lock and two
  installers ran. After the rename the moved directory's pid is re-read: a
  new live holder, or a fresh lock whose pid is not written yet, is moved
  straight back.
- A pid file whose process is alive but whose lock is older than the install
  bound is stale too (the holder is past its own deadline, or the pid was
  recycled to an unrelated long-lived process); it was locked forever.
- The /proc fallback stripped the comm field to the FIRST ") ", so a comm
  containing ") " hid a child from the kill. proc(5) says the last paren.

* fix(freeze): mark the decision written after the helper prints, not before

If gstack_hook_decision ever failed between the flag and its output the
backstop would have stayed silent; setting the flag after the print keeps
the deny backstop armed until a decision is actually on stdout.

* docs: update project documentation for v1.80.0.0

README troubleshooting + manual uninstall cover the skill ownership gate
(.gstack-owned marker, ~/.gstack/backups/skills/<ts>/, foreign same-name
skills left untouched). CLAUDE.md and CONTRIBUTING carry the ownership and
best-effort Chromium bootstrap invariants for people editing setup and
gstack-relink. PROJECT_STRUCTURE gains careful/, freeze/, guard/, unfreeze/,
gstack-upgrade/, gstack-relink, and the setup/relink/hook test files.
TESTING_INTERNALS documents the anchor-sliced setup harness convention.

* fix(setup): the final summary reports customized SKILL.md files moved to the backup root

The linker moved a weakly-proven, customized SKILL.md aside before linking
over it but never said so; only relink printed a "Moved N" line, and by the
time relink runs the file is already a symlink. The summary now names each
moved file and where it went, next to the foreign-entry report.

* test: run assembled setup harness scripts from a temp file, not `bash -c` argv (Windows MSYS2 8 KB truncation)

windows-free-tests (run 33907177851) failed in
test/setup-alias-name-uniqueness.test.ts with
  bash: -c: line 178: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'
The harness slices functions out of `setup` and passed the joined script as
one `bash -c` argv element. The ownership gate grew that script from 6.7 KB
to 15.7 KB, and on Windows bash is an MSYS2 program: when its parent is a
non-MSYS process (bun), msys-2.0.dll's build_argv() runs any argument
containing `?*["'(){}` through globify()/glob(), which copies the pattern
into a fixed `Char patbuf[8192]` and silently stops after 8192 - MB_CUR_MAX
(8186 chars under C.UTF-8); GLOB_NOCHECK then returns the truncated text as
the argument. Character 8186 lands inside the single-quoted sed token on
line 178. Rebuilding the exact script with CI path shapes and cutting it at
8186-8190 characters reproduces the identical message locally; cmd.exe's
8191-UTF-16 cap and CreateProcess's 32767 do not fit the evidence.

Fix: test/helpers/bash-script.ts writes the script to a temp file and runs
`bash <path>` — a short glob-free argument that never enters globify. Every
setup harness that assembled a script for `bash -c` (11 files, 22 sites)
uses it; timeouts and env are preserved verbatim, spawn/timeout errors are
appended to stderr, temp cleanup is best-effort. `spawnSync('bash',
[<Windows absolute path>])` already passes on windows-latest in setup-help,
uninstall-windows-copies and the migration tests. The Windows-curated list
is byte-identical before and after.
