4 people	caba78fefa	v1.83.0.0 feat: Memorable recall bridge, opt-in and receipted (supersedes #2831) (#2836) ... * feat: add optional Memorable workflow memory (cherry picked from commit 6bd5d477b2) * fix: refuse the second registration, and say what leaves the machine Two things the first cut got wrong. Memorable's own installer registers the same UserPromptSubmit hook, under its own name and outside gstack's table. `memorable start`, `memorable setup` and `memorable install-hooks` all do it, and that is the documented way to install the CLI, so on most machines it is already there before gstack is asked. Registering ours beside it ran the same command twice on every prompt: context injected twice, and the session captured twice against the user's own extraction allowance. `enable` now looks for it and refuses, naming the entry and the file it lives in; `status` says who registered it rather than reporting none. Matched on the command rather than on a tag, for the reason the hook table already gives: Claude Code rewrites settings and private tags do not survive it. The removal instruction says to delete the entry by hand because Memorable has no command that removes its own hook. `uninstall-hooks` is not a command in 0.5.18; it answers "unknown command". The README said "Memorable, not gstack, owns the captured data and any network access", which answers the question by pointing away from it. It now carries a per-command table of exactly what leaves the machine, in the shape the adopted gbrain section uses, and it is explicit that the hook makes no network call of its own, that every row is the third-party CLI acting under its own consent, and that `gstack-egress` will therefore not show any of it. Under it, the split between what gstack pin-tests (the gating and the wiring) and what is Memorable's claim (storage, sending, and what disable and forget erase). The CHANGELOG entry is removed. This file has never carried an [Unreleased] heading; every entry is a version and a date, written at release. The text is in the pull request for whoever cuts the next one. Three tests added: enable refuses and touches neither consent nor settings when Memorable already holds the hook, status names that registration, and a foreign UserPromptSubmit hook is not mistaken for Memorable's. (cherry picked from commit e0899afa8c) * docs: a guide for the Memorable bridge, in the gbrain-sync shape README carries the section and the egress table; this is the page it links to for anyone who wants the whole thing. Same shape as docs/gbrain-sync.md, which is the closest thing in the repo: an optional integration whose interesting questions are all about what leaves the machine and how to turn it off. What it covers that the README cannot at that length: that the hook sees every Claude Code prompt rather than only the ones a skill produced; that capture is a separate consent from this bridge, so turning the bridge off does not turn capture off; what to do when Memorable has already registered the hook itself, which is the common case because its own installer does it; and why the hook has no loud failure path. The egress table is repeated here rather than linked, because the sentence it is answering ("what does this send") is the one somebody arrives on this page already asking. Co-authored-by: Advaiyt Sane <advaiyt.sane@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Nikhil Krishnaswamy <krishnaswamynikhil@gmail.com> (cherry picked from commit 5c108cc0f7) * feat(settings-hook): identity-aware remove-source + read-only list-items remove-source used to inspect only entries still carrying the _gstack_source tag. Claude Code strips that tag when it rewrites settings.json, so an off switch built on remove-source alone silently no-oped on exactly the entries it was written for. Removal is now driven by KNOWN_HOOKS identity for the requested source (tagged or not), keeps the tagged-single-item legacy-stray rule, never touches another source's items, and leaves entries with nothing of ours byte-identical. list-items is the read-only view of the same identity table: one JSON string literal per matching hook command, filters (--owned-by, --command-regex as a JavaScript RegExp) applied inside the JS, empty stdout for no match, and the mutating verbs' exit codes (1 usage, 3 unparseable settings, 4 unexpected shape) so callers can decide mutations from its output without parsing raw command strings. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(config): memorable_recall consent key (on|off, default off, reject-and-preserve) The gstack-side gate for the Memorable UserPromptSubmit bridge. `on` lets a Claude Code hook hand every prompt to a third-party binary, so the key follows the codex_reviews rule: an invalid value is rejected and the stored value kept, never coerced in either direction. Registered in all four places gstack-config keeps in sync (annotated header, DEFAULTS table, the set validator, and both enumeration loops). Memorable's own capture consent (`memorable enable`) is a separate thing gstack never sets. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(hooks): memorable-user-prompt-hook.ts — consent gate, deny veto, HIGH-tier pre-scan, fail-closed receipt, trust envelope; runExternal in spawn-bin The PR's hook exec'd the vendor binary with the full environment and passed its stdout to Claude verbatim. It is now the house pattern: a fail-open bash shim over a .ts twin that (1) gates on the memorable_recall consent key, (2) skips repos whose trust policy is deny or read-only, (3) scans the prompt (raw bytes and decoded string leaves) and refuses to hand over a HIGH-tier credential shape, (4) writes a fail-closed egress receipt naming the local executable it ran, (5) spawns the vendor in its own process group with an allowlisted environment and group-kills it on timeout, (6) accepts only a string additionalContext back, caps it at 8 KiB on a UTF-8 boundary and wraps it in the trust envelope, and (7) records an `output-written` outcome after the stdout write completes. One deadline clock (4.5 s) undercuts Claude Code's 5 s kill and bounds both ledger writes through the new lockBudgetMs option on writeReceipt/writeOutcome (default unchanged). spawn-bin gains runExternal for external executables (detached group, stderr drained, stdin EPIPE handled, stdout capped, win32 refused). The wiring test pins the sink fail-closed and sweeps hosts/. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gstack-memorable): canonical hook path, no vendor consent, --timeout 5, identity-based status, verified disable, lifecycle lock enable used to bake the hook path from whatever tree the CLI ran in and to run the vendor's own `memorable enable` (its consent for storing AND uploading session traces) before registering anything. It now resolves the canonical install like setup does and refuses when that install does not carry this bridge (version and hook-twin check), registers through the canonical hook manager with --timeout 5, records gstack's own consent in memorable_recall, never executes the vendor, and restores the captured prior state if consent cannot be recorded. disable flips the gate first, removes the entry by identity (tag or no tag), verifies both states and reports partial failure instead of a blended success. status reads only: resolution path, gate, registration by identity (gstack / vendor-own / both / unknown), mismatch lines, receipt count, recent hook errors. enable and disable serialise under a lock with stale takeover. Windows is refused (TODOS.md D21). Exit codes mirror the hook manager (3/4/5). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): --no-team sweep keeps the opt-in gstack-memorable hook `./setup --no-team` finishes its teardown with `prune-stale --all`, which removes every KNOWN_HOOKS item. The Memorable bridge hook is a user-registered opt-in unrelated to team mode, exactly like verify-gate, so it joins the sweep exclusion list. The verify-gate pin now accepts the comma-extended list; a schema-aware case proves the exclusion keeps both opt-ins (tagged or tag-stripped) while the uninstall sweep still removes them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(uninstall): named gstack-memorable arm, vendor-consent notice, honest kept config The identity sweep already removed the Memorable bridge hook as an unnamed stray. It now has a named arm like every other source, so the summary says what went, and says plainly that Memorable's own consent (if the user granted it) is theirs to revoke. Under --keep-state the kept config is set memorable_recall=off so it never claims a hook that is gone. The canonical-paths pins cover the sixth KNOWN_HOOKS row and the new uninstall source. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(egress): memorable-recall row in gstack-egress grants `gstack-egress grants` promises every standing consent in force with the command that revokes it. The Memorable bridge's memorable_recall key is one, so it gets a row: off by default, granted only when `gstack-memorable enable` set it, revoked by `gstack-memorable disable`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(memorable): accurate bridge guide; README row, Docs table, privacy pointer; PROJECT_STRUCTURE The README section becomes one row in the Standalone binaries table (the shape every other binary uses) plus a Docs-table row and one Privacy bullet saying that optional third-party bridges are off by default and receipted. The guide now separates the two consents, says what gstack hands to the vendor binary and what the receipt can and cannot attest, attributes every statement about the vendor's network activity to the vendor, describes the hook manager accurately (identity via KNOWN_HOOKS, list-items vs list-sources, rollback is whole-file), states the Claude Code hot-reload behaviour, adds a troubleshooting runbook, and keeps the contributors' credit in the CHANGELOG idiom. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(todos): Memorable bridge follow-ups Filed from the CEO and eng reviews of the bridge fix-up: the generic third-party hook seam, Windows support (deferred whole), the envelope kind parameter, a vendor payload-minimization contract, a latency and timeout revisit, resolver and canonical-root consolidation, a non-interactive MEDIUM-tier redaction policy for hooks, and adopting list-items at setup's plan-tune check. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(settings-hook): list-items --owned-by with --command-regex intersects When both filters are given, an item must satisfy both: owned by the requested source AND matching the pattern. Before, the regex branch skipped every owned row, so the combination could never match. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gstack-memorable): compat_check reads list-items output before grepping Under pipefail, piping the probe straight into grep -q let a non-zero probe exit mask the match, so a hook manager without list-items was sometimes reported as compatible. Capture the output, then grep. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: coverage for the memorable bridge (remove-source regression for every KNOWN_HOOKS source) - settings-hook: identity removal pinned for each source in KNOWN_HOOKS; list-items unknown flag and combined --owned-by/--command-regex - gstack-memorable: enable/disable failure paths (lock give-up exit 5 with the test-only lock timeout override, consent-write failures guarded by canRevokeWrites, canonical-version mismatch, no-bun status) - hook: non-object JSON, missing cwd, non-ASCII bytes, held-open stdin, shim without bun, stripControl, resolveVendor, runExternal ENOENT - egress-receipt: lockBudgetMs 0 and writeOutcome on garbage input - uninstall: no memorable entry present reports nothing removed Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(memorable): gbrain backend note and the settings-rewrite race Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * perf(redact-engine): line/col by binary search over a per-scan line index lineColAt walked the input from offset 0 for every finding, so a match-dense input (a pasted log full of emails and IPs) cost O(findings x bytes): 128 KiB took ~400 ms and 900 KiB tens of seconds. The line starts are now indexed once per scan, on the first finding, and each finding is a binary search. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gbrain-repo-policy-client): repoPolicyTier accepts a spawn timeout The policy script spawn was fixed at 10 s, more than twice the memorable hook's whole budget. Callers on their own deadline pass what they can afford; a timeout reads as unreadable and polarity stays the caller's. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(spawn-bin): runExternal resolves on the child's exit, keeps stdin errors advisory - A vendor that exits 0 but leaves a background child holding its pipes was held to the deadline, group-killed and reported as a timeout with its answer dropped. 'exit' now starts a short stdout drain, then resolves with the real exit code and kills whatever still holds the group. - EPIPE on the child's stdin (it answered before reading a large input) is reported as stdinError, separate from error, so a delivered answer is not classified as a spawn failure. - Stdio streams are destroyed and the child unref'd on resolve so a straggler cannot pin the hook process; tail/grace/drain sizes are named constants. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hooks): memorable hook closes the review army's gaps - Vendor failures are logged even with empty stderr (a silently hanging vendor taxed every prompt invisibly); the stderr tail is withheld when the redaction engine finds a credential or PII shape in it; hook-errors.log is created 0600. - Trust-policy veto fails closed when git cannot run or answer in time (it read as 'no remote' before); the policy script spawn is bounded by the hook's clock; a payload cwd that is not a directory falls back. - Each secret scan is admitted by the deadline clock (the engine's cost grows with match density); stdin is decoded once. - The pre-spawn gate re-check logs a config failure instead of swallowing it; an incomplete stdin read is named as such, not as 'not JSON'. - Carriage returns are stripped with the other controls. - The vendor env allowlist adds the standard proxy, TLS and XDG variables so a vendor behind a corporate proxy or private CA still reaches its service. - A stdin EPIPE on a delivered answer is recorded in the outcome, not treated as a spawn error. - Stage caps and the truncation marker are named constants; a test-only GSTACK_MEMORABLE_TEST_BUDGET_MS can shorten (never widen) the budget. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gstack-memorable): lock staleness from the directory mtime; honest messages - A contender that looked between the holder's mkdir and its ts write read a missing ts as 0, called the lock stale and reclaimed it; staleness now comes from the lock directory's own mtime (the settings-hook idiom). - The ensure-event failure is no longer labelled 'warning'; the consent-write rollback message says what was actually kept; a removal that left no entry is reported on stdout, not as an error; receipts are counted from the filtered JSON array, not a formatting artefact; the resolution order and lock tuning are named once. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(uninstall): memorable_recall goes off whether or not state is kept gstack-config resolves its root through GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/GSTACK_HOME, which can differ from the STATE_DIR uninstall removes; a full uninstall could leave memorable_recall=on in a config that survived. Flipped only when currently on. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: pin the review-army fixes for the memorable bridge Nonce-scoped orphan checks (the system-wide ps grep could see another shard's sleeper); exit-with-lingering-grandchild; advisory stdin EPIPE; withheld stderr; vendor timeout logged with empty stderr; CR stripping; budget seam; rate-limit expiry and 0600 log; unreadable policy store fails closed; file-as-cwd fallback; mtime-based lock staleness and the mkdir gap. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(memorable): vendor environment allowlist and stderr policy; two follow-ups Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hooks): memorable hook second-pass review fixes - Trust-policy lookup fails closed on any git failure that is not 'no such remote' or 'not a git repository' (a corrupt or unreadable .git/config and dubious ownership exit 128 and used to read as 'no remote'). - pickAdditionalContext takes the first complete top-level JSON object, so a vendor whose background helper appends a line to stdout (or prints a banner first) does not lose its answer. - The hook-errors.log rate limiter keys on a stable string (a vendor's timestamped stderr no longer defeats it); the log is chmod 0600 on every append because sibling hooks create the same file without a mode. - Scan admission is sized by payload bytes (scan() is uninterruptible). - The receipt payload class is a stable token; the prose moved to the docs. - Header, constants and comments match the behaviour (silent skips vs logged refusals; HIGH/MEDIUM withholding; STAGE_CAP_MS scope; runExternal in the spawn-bin header; the ledger lock budget doc). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gstack-memorable): stale-lock takeover by atomic rename; comments match behaviour Two contenders that both saw a stale lock could both reclaim it with rm -rf; the settings-hook idiom (mv to a private name, exactly one winner) is used instead. The hook-manager fallback comment now says every verb falls back. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: second-pass coverage for the memorable bridge Policy lookup outcomes (plain dir, repo without policy, corrupt .git/config fails closed); repoPolicyTier timeoutMs; line/col at line starts, after blank lines, CRLF and first char; tolerant first-JSON-object parsing; keyed rate limit; uninstall never creates a config just to say off and flips consent in a GSTACK_STATE_ROOT outside the removed state dir. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(memorable): silent skips vs logged refusals; payload class token; D21/D24 anchors Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hooks): memorable hook survives host termination and brace-bearing banners - The bash shim runs bun as a job and forwards SIGTERM/SIGINT/SIGHUP (bash holds a signal until a foreground child exits); the .ts kills the in-flight vendor's process group on the way out (runExternal exposes the group kill through onSpawn), so a hook the host terminates cannot leave the vendor running with the prompt on its stdin. - The tolerant stdout parser tries every complete top-level object (bounded) and takes the first carrying a string additionalContext, so a banner with braces or quotes, or a progress object, no longer costs the answer. - git runs with LC_ALL=C and the not-a-repository check is anchored to the start of its message: a localized git or a repository path containing the phrase can no longer flip the lookup. - The rate limiter remembers up to 32 live keys, so alternating failures cost two lines, not one per prompt. - Unicode format characters (bidi overrides, zero-width spaces) are stripped from vendor text at egress; the zero-width joiner stays for emoji. - A killed child (timeout, ENOBUFS) resolves on exit without the stdout drain, and the post-kill grace is 100 ms, so the timeout outcome fits the reserve. - The ledger size warning, which the host discards from an exit-0 hook's stderr, is logged where status looks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gstack-memorable): failed stale-lock takeover reaches the give-up; disable runs without gstack-config; status shows ledger size Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: host termination kills the vendor group; brace banners, decoys and format characters; non-reclaimable stale lock gives up; ledger line in status Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(memorable): the vendor dies with a terminated hook Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: deterministic stdin EPIPE case for runExternal (child closes stdin, stays alive) Under parallel shard load a child that merely exits fast raced the write and the EPIPE was not always observed; closing the read end first makes it so. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hooks): outside-model review fixes for the memorable hook and runExternal - Nothing in the vendor's process group outlives the call: the group is killed on every resolve, the clean 'close' path included (a helper the vendor forked with redirected stdio ran on unsupervised before). - A child that already exited when the deadline fires keeps its result; the deadline only ends the drain instead of rewriting a completed exit as a timeout. - The decoded-leaf scan reports when its node/depth bound cut the walk short and the hook refuses the hand-off as unscanned; object keys are scanned too. - git for the trust-policy lookup runs without inherited GIT_* selectors (GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE, GIT_CONFIG_*), so it inspects the session's repository and no other; a host cancellation kills that git as well. - An unmatched brace in a vendor banner no longer hides the answer after it. - The stderr tail is scanned whole before it is cropped for the log, so a credential's prefix cannot be cropped away from its secret half. - The vendor override reads an empty GSTACK_MEMORABLE_BIN as unset, exactly as bin/gstack-memorable does, so enable checks the binary the hook runs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gstack-memorable): stale-lock reclaim checks the inode it judged and the owner's liveness; status reports a failed receipt query as unknown Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(uninstall): revoke memorable_recall independently of the hook manager and name a failed revocation Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: group kill on clean close, walk exhaustion refused, GIT_DIR cannot bypass the deny, unmatched-brace banner, whole-tail scan, empty-override parity, uninstall revocation without the hook manager Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(memorable): the process-group guarantee and its setsid boundary Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(release): v1.83.0.0 — Memorable recall bridge, identity-aware hook removal, faster redaction line/col CHANGELOG entry for the Memorable workflow-memory bridge (opt-in, off by default, Claude Code only), the identity-aware remove-source and read-only list-items in the hook manager, the memorable-recall egress sink, runExternal, lockBudgetMs, and the binary-search line/col index in the redaction engine. No migration. Contributed by @AdvaiytSane and @NIkhil-cmd-cmd (#2831). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: stdin EPIPE observation is scheduling-dependent under shard load; pin the invariant instead A delivered answer is never reclassified as a spawn error; when the EPIPE is observed it is reported as stdinError. Whether it is observed before the child's exit resolves the call is not something the test can force. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: list the memorable-recall sink among the fail-closed egress sinks CLAUDE.md and ARCHITECTURE.md enumerate the receipt sinks that refuse to send when the ledger cannot be written; the Memorable bridge's per-prompt hand-off is pinned fail-closed in test/egress-receipt-wiring.test.ts but was missing from both lists. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: memorable bridge tests pass on a runner that enforces file modes; scanner-proof key fixture - The consent-write-failure tests make the state dir read-only, which also blocked the bridge lock directory (exit 5 before the path under test); the locks dir is pre-created so only the consent write fails. - The unreadable-store test leaves a 0600 directory behind (the policy script chmods the store path); cleanup restores the search bit and the suite's afterEach reopens directories before removing. - The AWS-key-shaped fixture is built by concatenation, as every sibling test does, so the CI credential gate does not read it as a live key. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gstack-memorable): name an unwritable state directory when the lock cannot be created Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: AdvaiytSane <advaiyt.sane@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Nikhil Krishnaswamy <krishnaswamynikhil@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-09-08 22:05:41 -07:00
Garry TanandClaude Fable 5	e76f65a8da	v1.77.0.0 feat: test-infrastructure overhaul wave 1 — matrix deletion, flake telemetry, sync-spawn wedge class extinct (#2746) ... * fix: pin the claude CLI to an exact version in the CI image + tripwire The image installed @anthropic-ai/claude-code UNPINNED and rebuilt weekly 'to pick up CLI updates' — while bun sat carefully pinned at 1.3.13 two RUN lines above. The PTY harness screen-scrapes this CLI's TUI, and that drift broke it three separate times (welcome-screen wedge on 2.1.233, skillify HOME discovery on 2.1.237, guard/freeze hooks on 2.1.162), each debugged as a flake first. Pin 2.1.251 (current latest), bump deliberately via a PR that runs the PTY gate, and enforce with test/ci-image-cli-pin.test.ts: any global npm install in Dockerfile.ci without an exact @X.Y.Z pin fails the free suite. The weekly ci-image cron stays as a cheap tag self-heal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: stamp the claude CLI version into every eval-store run record Three harness breakages were traced to claude-CLI TUI drift only after long flake hunts, because no run record said which CLI it actually exercised. EvalCollector now stamps claude_cli_version (claude --version, cached once per process, 'unknown' when the binary is absent) into both partial and finalized records — schema-additive optional field, no SCHEMA_VERSION bump. Correlating a flake wave with a CLI release becomes a grep over ~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/evals/ instead of archaeology. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: give the spinning-shard kill test load headroom (30s -> 90s) The test spawns and group-kills three real children (one a busy-loop burning a full core) while five sibling shard processes compete for eight vCPUs. Under full-suite load it blew bun's default 30s per-test ceiling at 30,009ms — while passing in isolation in 1.4s — and red the only required lane. Every assertion in it is event-based (statuses, group-kill proof, heartbeat lines); the sole latency claim is the <30s kill-deadline sanity bound, which stays. Explicit 90s headroom, not a weakened oracle. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: green-by-skip census — skip counts in the classifier, all-skipped labeling in the paid runner bun's 'Ran N tests' line COUNTS skipped tests, so a codex/gemini shard whose every test self-skipped (binary absent on the runner — true of every CI runner today) exits 0, dodges the hollow-shard guard, and reads as coverage in the weekly census. The classifier now parses bun's ' N skip' / ' N pass' recap lines; ShardOutcome carries skippedTests; formatSummary and the fail-closed slices report label an all-skipped pass explicitly: 'all N tests SKIPPED — verified nothing'. Status stays 'passed' (external service availability is host state, not a repo regression) but the census can no longer mistake absence for coverage. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor: extract composite actions for eval-lane setup; surviving lanes gain the fail-fast registry verification 'Fix bun temp' x3, 'Restore deps' x5, 'Seed claude interactive config' x3, and 'Register gstack skills' x3 were byte-near-identical copies across the legacy matrix, the sliced lane, and the periodic lane — and only the MATRIX copy of register-skills carried the 19-line dangling-symlink + frontmatter fail-fast loop written after a silent 'Unknown command' + 35-min-timeout incident. Extract all four into .github/actions/ composites; the register composite carries the verification loop (generalized over the skill list), so the sliced and periodic lanes — the lanes that SURVIVE the matrix deletion — now inherit the check they had silently dropped. Matrix-job inline copies are left untouched: that job is deleted next. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: delete the legacy 17-row eval matrix — the sliced lane is the only paid lane Every PR paid twice: the hand-enumerated matrix (18 test files, 22.6 min, ~$21 API measured on run 33263204465) ran serialized AHEAD of the strictly superior sliced lane via 'needs: evals' — 35.5 min wall and ~2x paid spend for the same diff. 14 of 17 rows carried no tier:, so periodic Opus benchmarks leaked into every PR (the e2e-plan row alone: 12/12 tests, 21.7 min, $7.28 — the wall-clock bound of ALL of CI). Parity receipt (static, pre-deletion): the sliced lane's gate census (49 files, derived from the runner itself) strictly contains all 18 matrix test files, plus 31 files the matrix never ran. Pure deletion — one revert restores it. The PR comment moved into slices-report (same '## E2E Evals' upsert marker, now sourced from slice artifacts + carrying the fail-closed reconciliation verdict). plan-slices loses the needs edge; the dead workflow-level EVALS_TIER env goes with it. test/evals-workflow-matrix.test.ts (and its KNOWN_MATRIX_GAPS / KNOWN_TIER_UNSET burn-down ratchets — retired: the sliced census makes 'every gate file runs' true by construction) is rewritten as test/evals-workflow-wiring.test.ts: matrix stays deleted, planner/executor/ report tier + slice-count agreement, both surviving lanes on the shared register-skills composite with its fail-fast verification loop, PR comment survival. Expected: PR eval wall 35.5 -> ~13 min, per-PR paid spend ~halved. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: provider-runner timeouts kill the whole process GROUP; codex/gemini inherit the orphan-drain hardening All three provider runners (claude/codex/gemini) killed only the direct child on timeout: tool subprocesses the CLI spawned survived as orphans holding our pipes open and burning shared API rate (observed: a 600s timeout stretching past 1400s; a stalled run once burned a core for 15 hours). gstack-detach's watchdog had the same shape one level up — killpg SIGTERM, 5s grace, then a direct-child proc.kill() that orphaned grandchildren. Fix: spawn provider children via node:child_process with detached (own process group) and killProcessGroup(SIGKILL) in the timeout handler — runShardChild's proven pattern, EPERM/ESRCH fallbacks included. The codex and gemini copies also gain the reader.cancel() + stderr Promise.race hardening only the claude copy had (they still carried the blocked-drain hang it fixed). gstack-detach's watchdog now group-SIGKILLs after the grace. Regression net: test/session-runner-groupkill.test.ts drives the REAL runSkillTest against a fake claude shim (PATH override) that spawns a grandchild and wedges — the run must classify timeout within budget and leave neither shim nor grandchild alive — plus source pins on all three runners (detached + killProcessGroup, no bare timeout kill, no Bun.spawn reversion). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: skill-e2e-opus-47 renders SKILL.md fixtures into a mkdtemp — never the live tree mkEvalRoot ran gen-skill-docs with cwd=ROOT, regenerating every in-repo SKILL.md mid-run while concurrent paid shards copyFileSync those same files in their beforeAll (EVALS_JOBS>=4 locally, 2 per CI slice) — a sibling could capture a half-regenerated or opus-rendered SKILL.md, and a timeout before afterAll stranded the whole tree at the wrong model for every later shard. A cross-shard race that could flake ANY concurrent paid test. Render via the --out-dir flag gen-skill-docs grew for exactly this reason (mirrors the repo layout, which is all the fixture reads), read the skill heads from the render dir, delete it, and drop the afterAll restore-regen entirely. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: claude CLI version resolves in the runner parent, never on a test thread Eng-review finding: getClaudeCliVersion's fallback is a SYNCHRONOUS spawnSync on the same thread that polls concurrent PTY/session tests — the judgePtyState blocking class this overhaul kills elsewhere. The paid runner parent now resolves it once (cached) and stamps GSTACK_CLAUDE_CLI_VERSION into every shard's env; eval-store short-circuits on the env var, and the fallback spawn's budget tightens 10s -> 3s (bounded one-time stall, records 'unknown' on a slow CLI). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: wire skippedTests end-to-end through runPaidShard The census unit tests hand-built outcomes and the classifier tests parsed strings; nothing proved a real child's ' N skip' recap flows into outcome.skippedTests and the formatSummary label. A commandFor fake now prints the recap shape and the test asserts the parsed counts, the all-skipped predicate, and the 'verified nothing' label. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: make the setup composites rerun-safe (codex diff-review hardenings) restore-deps: 'cp -r SRC node_modules' with an existing node_modules NESTS the copy and leaves stale deps active — rm first. register-gstack-skills: 'ln -snf' hard-errors under set -eu when a REAL directory occupies the gstack slot — clear a non-symlink leftover first. CI workspaces are fresh today; a reusable composite must survive dirty reruns. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: sweep — every sync spawn in the test trees carries a timeout (436 sites, 157 files) spawnSync/execSync/Bun.spawnSync BLOCK the main thread, so bun's in-process per-test timeout can never fire while one waits — a hung child (stdin read, network probe, dead daemon) wedges the whole shard until the runner's external wall-clock SIGKILL. This exact class reached main: free-tests run 33262077256, test/gstack-memory-ingest.test.ts (normally 2.3s) held shard 2 at the 360s wall while its five siblings finished in ~65s. Mechanical sweep in two waves (12 + 4 fan-out agents, every edit verified against its call site): default timeout: 30_000 (matches the free runner's per-test budget), 120_000 for genuinely slow ops (installs, builds, playwright, provider CLIs), helper wrappers fixed ONCE where call sites route through them. Sites that only LOOK like calls (string fixtures, grep needles, comments) were skipped with reasons — the enforcement commit that follows marks them exempt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: sync-spawn timeout tripwire — the wedge class stays extinct Free scanner over all test trees (test/, browse/test/, design/test/, make-pdf/test/, ios-qa, browser-skills): every spawnSync/execSync/ Bun.spawnSync call site must carry a timeout within a 30-line options window, or an explicit '// tripwire-exempt: <reason>' marker. Comment lines are skipped; exemptions are counted and ratcheted shrink-only (ceiling 6 = the 6 string-fixture/grep-needle sites where the pattern is CONTENT, not a call — marked in this commit). A scan-sanity test pins that the scanner still sees >100 real call sites so it can never rot to a vacuous green. Companion to the 436-site sweep in the previous commit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: paid-lane flake telemetry — record-level attempts, flaky_retries, report surfacing bun --retry leaves a retried pass INVISIBLE in its output: a fail-then-pass prints the error detail but no (fail) result line and recaps as a clean pass (probed live on 1.3.10). So attempts are recorded where they cannot lie: EvalCollector.addTest stamps a 1-based attempt on same-name re-records (a retried test runs its body again and re-records), finalized runs carry flaky_retries, printSummary warns loudly, and the fail-closed slices report lists every passed-only-on-retry test — recorded and ranked, never blocking and never silent. Cross-model confirmed (codex reached the same don't-parse -the-stream conclusion independently). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: free-lane flake ledger — retry ON in CI, flaky-passes recorded and uploaded The runner's attribution-gated flaky-retry pass (cap 5, truncation veto) was OFF in the required lane and its FLAKY-PASS evidence was console-only — so a single timing flake red the merge gate while repeat offenders stayed unenumerable. free-tests.yml now sets GSTACK_FREE_RETRY_FLAKY=1 and points GSTACK_FLAKE_LEDGER at runner.temp; every flaky-pass appends a JSONL entry (SINGLE writer: the parent runner — no concurrent-append hazard by construction; fail-open with a loud warning so a broken ledger can never red the lane) and the artifact uploads UNCONDITIONALLY — a flaky-pass run is green, which is exactly when the evidence matters. Wiring pinned by free-tests-workflow-wiring; ledger behavior unit-tested incl. the fail-open path. Matches 2026 industry practice (retry for data, quarantine out of merge-blocking but never out of logging) with the repo's own receipts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: eval:flake-rank — the flake-telemetry dial Aggregates per-test series across every finalized eval-store run (shard dirs included) plus the free flake ledger: runs, fails, RETRIED PASSES (the flake signature), avg duration — ranked retries-first. This is the readable dial behind two policies: a flaky pass never blocks a merge but is always ranked here, and the WS16 required-check promotion needs weeks of clean flake-rank, not vibes. --json for machines, --dir for downloaded CI artifacts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: two-phase session timeout — silent APIs die at the startup grace, named The single spawn-armed timer charged API queue latency to the work budget: the recurring '0 turns / $0.00 / x3 attempts' failure with four budget-bump receipts (180->300s, 240->360s, 300->420s, 90->300s). Split: startup phase (no NDJSON byte yet) kills EARLY at min(grace, timeout) with the distinct exitReason 'timeout_startup' — an availability verdict, not transcript archaeology — and the work phase arms on the first byte for the REMAINING budget, so total wall never exceeds the timeout (tier envelopes are margin-free: tests pass timeout: CAPTURE_MS and bun-budget the same tier). Local grace 90s (observed queue latency 60-90s), CI floor 300s (TODOS-filed; shared runners queue harder), both pinned by the new grace tests with fake -claude shims covering the late-first-byte and silent-API paths. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: census integrity — 17 phantom selection keys deleted, reverse invariant added, gitignored dep patterns replaced, local map forks derived The merge-blocking gate census counted tests that could not run. Deleted (critic-verified against both quoted-occurrence and dep-registration liveness): 7 *-prosons-format keys with no declaring test, ship-plan- completion/-verification, review-plan-completion, design-shotgun-path/ session/full, autoplan-core (dead ~10 months), e2e-harness-audit (its namesake is a FREE-suite file), plus 2 dead LLM-judge keys and 2 free-file keys (budget-regression-pty, global-discover) misplaced in the PAID maps. Census: 191 -> 174 keys, gate 86 -> 78 honest. The new reverse invariant in touchfiles.test.ts makes the class structurally impossible: every key must be quoted in a living paid test file OR registered to an existing paid test file via its dep list (the constructed- name binding the 2026-08 self-registration sweep established) — zero exceptions needed today, with a live-file check on any future exception. Also: '.agents/skills/**' dep patterns replaced with the generator (scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts) — .agents/ is gitignored, so those patterns could NEVER match a git diff and review-template edits silently stopped selecting codex/gemini tests; the codex/gemini local touchfile maps are now DERIVED from the canonical map (loud throw if a key vanishes) instead of hand-forked copies that had already drifted. ios-qa-e2e demoted gate -> periodic: its gate declaration was never executable in CI (hardware exclusion only applies at tier=periodic), so every Linux PR planned a hollow shard. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: routing journeys lose their answer key and end at the routing decision The journey tests exist to catch skill-DESCRIPTION regressions (touchfiles: */SKILL.md.tmpl), but the fixture CLAUDE.md shipped an explicit prompt->skill lookup table — with the answer key in context, a badly regressed frontmatter description still routed correctly, so the tests could not fail on the exact class they select for. The fixture now carries only the generic invoke-skills nudge; the frontmatter carries the routing load. Also capped all 10 journeys at maxTurns 2 / tools [Skill, Read]: only the FIRST Skill call is asserted, so 5 turns of Read/Bash/Glob/Grep was pure spend — roughly halves each journey's cost. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: retire decided A/B experiments; vendor the pre-cut fixture; ban raw-SHA fixtures Three one-shot decision experiments kept re-running weekly as N=1 stochastic comparisons — flaky by construction with near-zero remaining information: skill-e2e-auq-repetition-cut-ab (its own header: gate "passed pre-landing, approved 2026-08-25"), skill-e2e-preamble-script-ab ("demoted post-Phase-3"), and opus-47's fanout arm-vs-arm (parA >= parB across two SINGLE stochastic runs — a coin flip). Deleted, with their selection keys; the SDK overlay-harness stays as the maintained instrument for the next experiment, and opus-47 keeps its routing-precision cases. verboseSkill() now reads the VENDORED test/fixtures/auq-pre-cut-...-SKILL.md instead of `git show ab66193e^:...` — a branch-local ref that dies on branch prune and already failed on shallow clones. New free tripwire (test/git-ref-fixture-tripwire.test.ts) bans the raw-SHA fixture class outright: quoted SHA:path rev-specs and gitRef-style hex defaults in the test trees fail the suite with the vendor-instead instruction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: demote plan-ceo-review-expansion-energy to periodic Opus generator + a subjective 2-axis >=4/5 LLM-judge threshold sat in the MERGE-BLOCKING gate — the exact class its sibling posture tests were demoted for, with a receipt (a +21-line preamble change once flipped the score). CLAUDE.md's own tiering rule: Opus model test -> periodic. The weekly lane keeps the regression signal; merges stop paying a judge- temperament tax. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: paid shards get per-shard TMPDIR + CHROMIUM_PROFILE isolation and a kill-path cleanup backstop The free runner treats this isolation as MANDATORY (two concurrent shards on one Chromium profile kill each other's browser; shared tmp cross-contaminates) — the paid lane had none of it. Doubly load-bearing here: a shard that hits its 30-min wall is group-SIGKILLed, so per-test afterAll cleanup never runs; the rmSync backstop is the only thing keeping wedged runs from accumulating full git-repo workspaces in the shared tmpdir forever. This is the DAG prerequisite for raising EVALS_JOBS (next commit) — more concurrency on shared state amplifies exactly the shared-tree race class opus-47 exhibited. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: paid-runner defaults 4x4 -> 8x2 — halve the local gate worst case 39 of 75 skill-e2e files hold exactly ONE test, so within-shard concurrency was dead weight for most shards: 4 jobs x 4 concurrency yielded only ~4-6 real in-flight sessions and a 13-wave local gate worst case (~6.5h). 8 jobs x 2 gives ~10-13 in-flight — under the documented-safe ~15 — and ~7 waves (~3.3h worst case). CI lanes keep their explicit EVALS_JOBS env (2 per slice; 4 for gate-census); this changes local defaults. Rollback trigger: sustained 429 storms in the WS1 telemetry across 2 PR cycles. test/eval-detach-timeout-floor.test.ts recomputed green (the raise LOWERS the worst-case floor). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: SHA-pin every action in the secrets-bearing eval lanes evals.yml and evals-periodic.yml execute PR-authored code with three provider API keys in env, yet rode mutable action tags (@v7/@v8/@v2/@v4) — while quality-gate.yml, osv-scanner.yml, and dependency-review.yml already model the SHA-pin pattern. All 30 uses sites across both lanes now pin the exact commit (tag noted in a trailing comment); dependabot's github-actions ecosystem keeps them fresh via PRs instead of silent tag moves. Pulled forward from the plan's endgame on the CEO-review + outside- voice agreement: supply-chain pins on secret lanes go first, not last. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: sweep wave 3 — the execFileSync family gets timeouts (90 sites, 17 files) The tripwire's regex covered spawnSync/execSync/Bun.spawnSync but not execFileSync — an entire blocking sync-spawn API family that could reintroduce the shard-wedge class undetected (ship review army). Same mechanical recipe as waves 1-2: timeout: 30_000 default, 120_000 for slow ops, shared wrappers fixed once, string-needle sites skipped with reasons. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: review-army + adversarial test hardening - Tripwire scans execFileSync too (ceiling 8: two more grep-needle string exemptions); merge-introduced timeout-less spawnSync in question-preference-hook fixed — the tripwire caught a site that landed on main AFTER the sweep, on its first day. - gstack-detach gains TWO watchdog kill regression tests: TERM-immune grandchild (the killpg-after-grace escalation) and the leader-dies variant (the pgid-at-spawn fix — the case the first test cannot see). - eval-flake-rank gets its unit suite (final-attempt accounting, artifact exclusion, shard recursion, recency bound). - Groupkill/startup-grace shim markers are per-run unique (pid-suffixed sleep durations): sibling Conductor worktrees run free suites with no machine lock, and fixed markers let one run pgrep/pkill the other's shims — a cross-run flake inside the anti-flake tests. - flake-ledger test pins the project-scoped local default; stale empty section headers in touchfiles-data deleted (they invited entries under deliberately retired categories). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: adversarial-review runtime fixes across the telemetry + kill paths - session-runner: exit-labeling keys off 'exit', not 'close' — an orphan holding the pipes could relabel a REAL exit (auth failure) as 'timeout_startup' availability noise; the kill path still always group-kills and cancels the reader (labeling and unblocking are separate concerns). Work phase arms on a flag, not firstResponseMs===0 (a same-ms first byte left the startup timer live all run). The CI startup grace is now a real FLOOR (Math.max), matching its name and pinning test. - gstack-detach: pgid captured AT SPAWN (== child pid under start_new_session) — resolving it after the grace raised ESRCH once the leader died on SIGTERM, orphaning TERM-immune grandchildren forever. - test-free-shards: ledger entries carry branch + git_sha (rev-parse split: '--abbrev-ref HEAD HEAD' printed the branch twice and recorded it as the sha); local ledger default is per-PROJECT, not the machine-global tmpdir. - eval-flake-rank: per-LINE ledger parse (one torn JSONL line vanished the whole series), 60-day recency bound (transcript-bearing files are MBs), shared isFinalizedEvalResultFile predicate (the artifact-taxonomy rule lived in three places); eval-store exports the predicate and finalize stops computing flakyRetries twice; paid-shards cleanup uses async rm (a SIGKILLed shard's git-workspace teardown blocked every sibling's stream classification on the parent event loop). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: CI trust-boundary + fail-closed repairs (adversarial findings) - Token/exec separation restored: slices-report (runs PR-authored code: bun install + the reconcile runner) drops to contents:read; the PR comment moves to a NEW slices-comment job holding the write token with ZERO repo code — no checkout, no bun, only downloaded artifacts + jq/gh. $GITHUB_ENV/BASH_ENV persistence is job-scoped, so the split is the boundary. The matrix-era report job had this property; the consolidation had regressed it. Pinned by the wiring test. - Reconcile exit captured via PIPESTATUS[0] in BOTH lanes: GitHub's default run-step shell has no pipefail, so `$?` after `| tee` was tee's exit — the fail-closed gate was silently fail-open. Wiring test pins it. - PR comment: final-attempt accounting restored the dropped COST accumulation (the dial read $0 forever), flaky passes render as the warning they are (never as failures), and a malformed tests[] artifact skips that file instead of aborting the whole comment under bash -e. - Remaining mutable action tags pinned (free-tests upload-artifact, ci-image checkout/docker trio — the image publisher holds packages:write and feeds the secret-bearing lanes). restore-deps fallback installs --frozen-lockfile; register-gstack-skills validates skill names before its rm -rf. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.77.0.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: update project documentation for v1.77.0.0 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: cross-model doc-review fixes — flake-ledger env knobs, CI retry-on note, stale version comment Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: correct CHANGELOG receipt numbers to measured values Gate census keys: 78 -> 77 (bun-imported E2E_TIERS count). Sweep receipt: 586 sites/176 files -> 499 sites/146 files, measured by running this branch's spawnsync-timeout-tripwire against origin/main (exit 1, 499 violations across 146 unique files; green on this branch). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: slices-comment creates the PR comment via REST — the write-token job has no git context The token/exec split gives slices-comment NO checkout by design, and gh's pr-comment subcommand resolves the repo FROM git — it died with 'not a git repository' on PR #2746's first run (the update-existing PATCH path was already explicit-repo REST and worked). Create now posts through gh api repos/.../issues/N/comments, and the wiring test pins that no git-context-requiring comment call can creep back into the job. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: startup-grace probes clear CI for local semantics; new probe pins the floor clamp The two shim probes pass explicit 2s/4s graces, but in CI the runner clamps any explicit grace up to the 300s floor (deliberate adversarial-review fix), so 'silent API killed at the grace' died at the 30s work cap instead of 2s — a deterministic red on every CI run, green locally. The probes now pin LOCAL semantics with CI cleared (same save/restore pattern as their PATH shim), and a fourth probe pins the clamp itself: CI=1 + 2s grace + 6s timeout must kill at the 6s cap, still in the startup phase — proof an explicit low grace cannot bypass the floor.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5	9da6692930	v1.68.1.0 fix: phantom AskUserQuestion hooks — canonical-only registration + self-healing settings.json (#2631) ... * fix(settings-hook): KNOWN_HOOKS identity healer — per-item ownership, mutation lock, fail-closed parse Claude Code strips the unknown _gstack_source key when it rewrites settings.json, so tag-based dedupe degraded to exact-command equality and every Conductor worktree's setup appended a fresh hook entry; deleted worktrees left dead hooks erroring on every AskUserQuestion fire. - KNOWN_HOOKS identity table (shared JS prelude, single source of truth): ownership is intrinsic and PER HOOK ITEM — basename + relpath suffix + event (+ matcher where defined). Tags never claim foreign items. - New `prune-stale [--repoint <root>] [--all]`: prune dead gstack items, re-point survivors at the stable install (tag restore from the table), exact-duplicate collapse, uninstall/no-team identity sweep. Explicit plan_tune_hooks:no is honored (dead pruned, live never re-pointed). - add-event / remove-source become item-aware: replace/remove only the owned item; a user's co-located hook in the same entry is never collateral. - Mutation safety: mkdir lock with owner token, ownership-checked release, atomic stale takeover; per-process-unique tmp + backup names; backup-on-change everywhere; fail-closed on parse failure (a corrupt settings.json is never overwritten — previously catch{} clobbered it); locked atomic rollback. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gstack-config): `has <key>` — key-presence provenance through STATE_DIR resolution `get` returns the DEFAULTS value for absent keys, so callers that need to know whether the USER decided something (vs inherited a default) had no correct primitive — setup's consent logic was about to grep a hardcoded ~/.gstack/config.yaml, which misclassifies under GSTACK_STATE_ROOT / GSTACK_HOME / GSTACK_STATE_DIR overrides. `has` exits 0 iff the key is literally present in the resolved config file, with the same C-locale key validation as get/set. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): canonical-only hook registration, heal-first, PT_EXPLICIT consent provenance Three root causes of the phantom-AskUserQuestion-hooks class, all in the registration path: - Bug A: the Conductor auto-opt-in upgraded PT_DECISION "prompt" -> "yes" even when "prompt" was dev-setup's EXPLICIT --plan-tune-hooks=prompt pin, so every new Conductor workspace installed hooks. PT_EXPLICIT (flag/env/ config-key-presence via `gstack-config has`) now gates the auto-opt-in to the true silent fall-through. - Bug B: hook commands were baked from $SOURCE_GSTACK_DIR (`pwd -P` of the running tree — ephemeral for worktrees). Registration is now CANONICAL-ONLY via _hook_command_path (${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/skills/gstack); missing canonical hook = skip + log, never a baked tree path. SessionStart moves to schema-aware add-event under its identity source; whitespace paths are quoted. - Bug C: nothing ever pruned, and dead tagged entries blocked the "already installed" guards forever. Setup now heals FIRST on every run (prune-stale --repoint at the stable install), surfaces a one-line summary only when something changed, surfaces the plan_tune_hooks:no-vs-live-hooks contradiction, and --no-team tears down all three sources plus an identity sweep for untagged strays. dev-setup's no-mutation guarantee gains its stated repair exception (prune dead / re-point existing, never ADD). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(uninstall): run hook cleanup BEFORE install-root deletion + full identity sweep SETTINGS_HOOK resolves via $(dirname "$0") INSIDE the install root, but the cleanup ran after `rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/gstack` — a real global uninstall (running the installed copy) silently no-op'd and orphaned every hook entry. Tests masked it by running the uninstaller from the repo checkout. The relocated block also removes the auq-error-fallback source (registered by setup, previously never torn down) and finishes with a prune-stale --all identity sweep so untagged strays (Claude Code strips _gstack_source) go too. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: phantom-hooks heal coverage — incident facsimile, per-item safety, lock, canonical tripwires - gstack-settings-hook-schema-aware: 16 new cases — identity re-point (tag restore), foreign-basename rejection, mixed-entry per-item safety for add-event/remove-source/--all, prune-stale modes incl. bash-prefix + Windows-backslash + spaced-path idempotence, duplicate collapse preferring the tagged twin, plan_tune_hooks:no split, backup-on-change no-churn, fail-closed corrupt-JSON for every mutator, stale-lock takeover, fresh-foreign-lock skip, two-writer concurrency smoke, and an INCIDENT FACSIMILE replaying the exact 2026-08-17 production damage (6/3/2 entries, mixed tags, live-ephemeral Stop) healing to 2/1/1 canonical. - NEW setup-hook-canonical-paths: static tripwires — canonical-only resolver (no $SOURCE_GSTACK_DIR anywhere in it), heal-before-guards ordering, unsuppressed heal output, ${VAR:-0} counter idiom, shared-prelude concatenation at every bun call site, KNOWN_HOOKS completeness vs setup's registrations, uninstall cleanup-before-deletion ordering, defect-class warning present. - setup-plan-tune-hooks-noninteractive: PT_EXPLICIT pins + `gstack-config has` provenance + has-subcommand behavior (env-resolution, malformed keys). - auq-error-fallback-hook: registration + both-teardown wiring (previously untested). - uninstall: behavioral ordering test running the INSTALLED copy from inside the root it deletes. - setup-windows-fallback / gstack-config-key-locale: pins updated for the new HOOK_CMD shape and the third C-locale validator. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): banner-tripwire exec used JSON.stringify as shell quoting — vacuous pass + stray artifact JSON escaping is not shell escaping. Interpolating JSON.stringify(script) into `bash -c ${...}` left every JSON "\n" as a literal backslash-n inside shell double quotes, collapsing the extracted release-body tripwire block onto one line: `then\n` parsed as the command word `thenn`, and `>&2\nelse\n` parsed as the redirect `>&2nelsen` — so every full-suite run littered a `2nelsen` file (containing "bash: thenn: command not found") in the repo root, and the test's single not-contains assertion passed VACUOUSLY because all output had been redirected into that file. The "and it actually fires" functional check never verified anything. Fix: pass the script as an argv element (spawnSync array form) and assert both branches for real — ABORT case must print the leak message to stderr, clean case must print "banner tripwire clean" to stdout. Verified: `bun test test/binding-template-drift.test.ts` previously created the artifact deterministically; the full free suite now runs artifact-free. The other shell-interpolation sites (evidence, schema-aware concurrency, empty-find-fallthrough, branch-slug-hygiene) already use correct quoting. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: regression pin for legacy remove mixed-entry filtering + ownership negatives Coverage-audit iron rule: the rewritten legacy `remove` action filters per-item (pre-v1.67.2 it dropped the whole entry, destroying a user's co-located SessionStart hook) — modified existing behavior, previously untested. Also pins two ownership negatives: an owned basename+relpath under the WRONG matcher stays foreign, and prune-stale on an absent settings file exits 0 with removed 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: pre-landing review fixes — review-army findings hardened Specialist review (testing, maintainability, security, performance, data-migration) findings, each verified against code before fixing: - legacy remove: preserve malformed/foreign entries (hooks absent, non-array, or pre-existing empty) — only entries THIS pass emptied are dropped - add-event: never tag a mixed entry (old gstack versions in sibling worktrees treat tags as entry-level ownership and would destroy the user's co-located items); tag only single-item entries; prune-stale drops tags from mixed entries for the same reason - prune-stale: within-entry twin collapse (two dead copies of one hook re-pointed to the same canonical command no longer double-fire); command quoting hardened via gsQuoteCmd (escapes \\ " $ backtick; gsStripWrap unescapes so identity round-trips); NUL bytes in the dedupe key replaced with a JSON.stringify key (bash silently dropped the NULs, degrading the separator; the file also read as binary to tooling) - gsIsAlive: only provable absence (ENOENT/ENOTDIR) counts as dead — EACCES/EIO/unmounted volumes no longer prune (one-way-ratchet guard) - gsWriteIfChanged: preserves the live settings.json mode across rewrites (a user-tightened 0600 carrying API keys was silently broadened to 0644); fresh files start 0600; backups rotate (keep 10) - remove-source: command-less items default to foreign (gstack only writes type:command items); single-item stray claim requires a command - rollback: pointer target must be a sibling settings.json.bak.* file - uninstall + setup --no-team + SessionStart registration: stderr stays attached — a lock give-up or fail-closed parse during TEARDOWN must be visible ("the next setup retries" does not apply after uninstall) - setup: team-mode banner no longer claims an auto-update hook when registration was skipped; heal log documents the rollback-pointer caveat; SESSION_UPDATE_CMD quoting mirrors gsQuoteCmd; lock constants named - list-sources: corrupt settings.json reports to stderr instead of silently printing nothing (setup guards must not misread corrupt as no-hooks) - tests: 10 new pins (malformed-entry preservation, mixed no-tag, twin collapse, 0600 mode, metachar escaping round-trip, backup rotation, rollback pointer refusal, held-lock uninstall warning, matcher-drift tripwire, ownership negatives) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: red-team findings — verify-gate identity, single quoting authority, Windows paths Red-team pass over the hardened diff (several findings empirically verified by the reviewer before reporting): - KNOWN_HOOKS gains the sixth identity: gstack-verify-gate (README-documented opt-in Stop hook). A tag-stripped verify-gate entry previously survived prune-stale --all and errored at the end of EVERY turn after uninstall deleted the install root — the exact phantom-hook class this branch fixes. Uninstall also sweeps its tagged form. - add-event is now the single quoting authority: every registered command is normalized through the same gsQuoteCmd/gsStripWrap round-trip the healer uses. Pre-fix, only SessionStart got caller-side quoting — a spaced/metachar canonical root registered broken plan-tune/AUQ/timeline hooks that the very next heal rewrote (the codebase disagreed with its own registrations). - Windows: MSYS-form paths (/c/Users/...) are drive-translated for fs checks only (gsWinPath) — native bun resolved them drive-relative, so the heal judged every LIVE Windows hook dead and pruned it. The three AskUserQuestion hooks and the Stop hook now also get the mandatory 'bash ' prefix on Windows (previously only SessionStart did; extensionless bash shims otherwise hit the file-association dialog). - CANONICAL_GSTACK_ROOT falls back to $HOME/.claude/skills/gstack when a CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR-derived root was never installed (the installer hardcodes the home path — split-brain left such users permanently hookless). - prune-stale preserves foreign entries that STARTED empty (they were silently deleted, uncounted, on every heal). - The timeline Stop registration and its list-sources guard join the zero-silent-mutations contract (stderr attached). Tests: verify-gate tag-stripped heal+sweep, started-empty preservation, add-event quoting-authority round-trip. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.68.1.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: update project documentation for v1.68.1.0 README: document canonical-only hook registration + the prune-stale self-heal in the setup hooks section; expand the manual-uninstall note to cover every gstack hook identity, not just timeline-stop-hook. CONTRIBUTING: record PT_EXPLICIT provenance (Conductor auto-opt-in fires only on the true silent fall-through) and the heal-first repair exception in the dev-setup paragraph. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(settings-hook): fail-loud hardening — gsMain umbrella, lock exit 5, prototype-safe ownership bun in -e mode swallows uncaught exceptions thrown after a require() and exits 0 (verified on 1.3.13; uncaughtException handlers never fire either), so any runtime throw in a mutator was a SILENT SUCCESS. Every script body now runs inside a gsMain try/catch that prints "internal error ... refusing to mutate" and exits 4. Also: lock give-up now exits 5 instead of 0 (callers must not report a skipped mutation as registered); basename lookup uses hasOwnProperty so a foreign hook named "toString"/"constructor" can't resolve to an inherited Object.prototype member and abort the sweep; ownership-checked release also clears an empty/missing owner file; backup rotation sorts by mtime, not name; Windows-only backslash normalization (a legal Unix path containing a backslash is no longer rewritten); GSTACK_SWEEP_EXCLUDE_SOURCES lets a sweep spare named sources; lock tradeoffs documented at the lock helper. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): honest hook-registration reporting + verify-gate sweep exclusion _install_plan_tune_hooks now propagates per-add-event failures (lock contention exits 5, fail-closed settings errors exit 3) and both caller sites branch on it: success logs the installed message, failure logs a visible "NOT registered — re-run ./setup" warning instead of claiming success for a mutation that never happened. --no-team's identity sweep runs with GSTACK_SWEEP_EXCLUDE_SOURCES= verify-gate: turning team mode off must not delete the user-registered verify-gate opt-in whose binary still exists (uninstall still sweeps it, correctly, because there the binary itself is being removed). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: adversarial regression pins — wrong-shape fail-loud, prototype basename, sweep exclusion, lock exit 5 New pins for the fail-loud hardening: a wrong-shape hooks value (object where an array belongs) exits 4 with "refusing to mutate" and leaves the file byte-identical (pre-gsMain this was a silent exit-0 no-op); a foreign hook whose basename collides with Object.prototype ("toString") survives an --all sweep that still removes gstack rows; GSTACK_SWEEP_EXCLUDE_SOURCES preserves the verify-gate row during --all; the fresh-foreign-lock test now asserts the loud exit 5 instead of a quiet skip. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(verify-gate): allow the --no-team sweep exclusion, keep registration banned setup now legitimately mentions verify-gate once: the --no-team identity sweep excludes it via GSTACK_SWEEP_EXCLUDE_SOURCES so team-mode teardown can't delete a user-registered gate. The opt-in pin tightens from a blanket not-contains to: every mention must be a comment or that exclusion, and no mention may sit on an add-event line. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(settings-hook): GNU-first stat in the lock stale check — Linux abort on held locks On Linux, BSD-style `stat -f %m` prints a multi-line FILESYSTEM block to stdout before exiting 1, so the BSD-first || chain captured that garbage concatenated with the real `stat -c %Y` epoch. The non-numeric mtime made `$(( now - mtime ))` a syntax error and set -e killed the binary with exit 1 whenever a lock dir already existed — every contention path (stale takeover, give-up, concurrent writers) broke on CI while staying green on macOS, where BSD stat -f succeeds cleanly. GNU `stat -c %Y` now goes first (BSD stat rejects -c with no stdout, so macOS falls through cleanly), and a numeric guard blanks any residual garbage so a future platform quirk degrades to the normal give-up path instead of an arithmetic abort. Same defect class as gstack-repo-mode's GNU-first ordering (#2195). Verified in an oven/bun Linux container: the four CI-failing lock tests now pass (62/62 across both files). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(uninstall): 30s budgets for the two subprocess-heavy behavioral tests Both tests spawn the copied uninstaller, which itself runs several settings-hook bun -e children (the lock-contention one also waits out a 300ms give-up per call). On a loaded box those cold starts blow bun's default 5s per-test timeout, and a timeout kill reports as a bare fail with no assertion diff — observed at 5.6-8.5s under load avg 25+.

Refuse the write and count leftover on-disk prefs as INERT_ONE_WAY. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Fix: gstack-config get returns "" with exit 0 for keys that have no default Skill preambles read configuration with VAR=$(gstack-config get <key> 2>/dev/null || echo "<default>") and that fallback only fires on a non-zero exit. lookup_default ended in a catch-all that echoed "" and returned 0, so for any key missing from the table VAR came back empty and the default written right there in the preamble was unreachable. The skill then branched on a value it never specified: "skip entirely if QUESTION_TUNING is false", reached with QUESTION_TUNING="". Four keys that skills actually read had no entry and took that path: question_tuning -> callers assume "false" repo_mode -> callers assume "unknown" team_mode -> callers assume "false" transcript_ingest_mode -> callers assume "off" Each default above is the value the call sites already substitute in their own `|| echo` fallback, so this only makes reachable what was already intended. The catch-all now returns non-zero. That is deliberately scoped to the unknown-key arm alone: keys whose default is intentionally empty still exit 0, because "" is their real answer and their callers depend on it -- cross_project_learnings ("unset triggers the first-time prompt"), redact_repo_visibility ("empty falls through to gh/glab detection"), salience_allowlist, user_slug_at_*. Making every empty answer an error would have broken those. test/gstack-config-defaults.test.ts pins the class rather than the four instances: it parses the case arms and asserts every `gstack-config get <key>` site in the tree is covered, so adding a read without a default fails CI. It also pins the exit-code contract in both directions. Verified failing against the pre-fix script, where it names exactly those four keys. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(redact): a typo'd subcommand no longer exits 0 having done nothing main() recognised exactly two subcommands and let everything else fall through to the stdin scan. On empty stdin that prints "(no findings)" and exits 0, so: $ gstack-redact install-prepush-hooks # plural typo gstack-redact scan — repo UNKNOWN (no findings) $ echo $? 0 No hook was installed, and the operator has every reason to believe the credential guard is armed. A guard that silently no-ops must never exit 0. Two smaller faults in the same dispatch, both of which lead people here: - There was no --help handler, so `gstack-redact --help` fell through to the scanner. Piping a credential to it scanned the secret and exited 3. - With no piped input and no --from-file, readInput() blocks on readSync(fd 0) until an EOF that an interactive terminal never sends. That prints nothing at all, so it reads as a hang rather than as "this is a filter, feed it". Now: --help/-h/help prints usage and exits 0; an unrecognised positional prints the offender and exits 1; a TTY with nothing piped in prints usage instead of blocking. "scan" stays accepted, because the human output header reads "gstack-redact scan — repo …" and that is what people type. Usage errors exit 1, deliberately not 2 or 3. Those mean MEDIUM and HIGH findings and callers gate dispatch on them, so a usage error exiting 2 would be read as "medium findings — prompt the user". A test pins that. Tests: 4 written failing first, then fixed. Full suite 7,722 pass / 0 fail. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): one ambiguous ref no longer kills the whole annotated screenshot `snapshot -a` exits 1 with "Selector matched multiple elements" on most real pages, so /qa, /canary and /land-and-deploy silently produce reports whose screenshots do not exist. Plain `screenshot <path>` is unaffected. Refs are built as getByRole(role, {name}) and disambiguated with .nth() when role+name repeats. That disambiguation cannot fire for a node with NO accessible name: the locator degrades to getByRole(role) with no name filter, and the count driving .nth() is taken from the FILTERED aria snapshot while getByRole matches the unfiltered DOM. Measured on a live page: the tree surfaced 2 unnamed paragraphs, the DOM had 9. Landmarks (banner/main/contentinfo) and paragraphs are correctly unnamed per ARIA, so this is the common case rather than an edge case. boundingBox() then hits Playwright strict mode, and the catch allowlisted only timeout/closed/Target/Execution-context messages — so the strict-mode error was re-thrown and aborted every remaining annotation. Two changes: - `.first()` before boundingBox(), so an ambiguous ref draws a box on its first match instead of aborting. The heatmap path below has always tolerated this via a bare `catch {}`; annotate was the only path that could be killed outright. - the catch no longer re-throws on unrecognised messages. A box we cannot measure is a box we do not draw, never a reason to lose the rest of the page. Set BROWSE_DEBUG to see what was skipped. Also: `-o` passed without `-a`/`-H` was silently ignored (exit 0, no file), which reads as "screenshots are broken" rather than "you forgot a flag". It now warns and points at `browse screenshot <path>`. Verified by rebuilding both ways against the same page with 51 refs present: before — "Selector matched multiple elements", no file written after — exit 0, 229KB PNG Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(version-bump): missing or empty VERSION no longer repairs a fabricated 0.0.0.0 into package.json repair now fails with exit 2 when the VERSION file is absent or empty instead of folding to DEFAULT ("0.0.0.0") — which passed VERSION_RE and regressed package.json below where it started. classify gains an additive versionFileExists field so /ship can tell a real 0.0.0.0 from a fabricated one. Re-derived from PR #2612 under the generated-file screening rule. Fixes #2600 (repair half; the path-configurability half landed in v1.67 via #2531). Contributed by @Lockyer228 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory-ingest): --probe counts post-attribution, through the same gate --bulk uses probeMode previously stat'd every walked file, so setup-gbrain gated its silent bulk ingest on pre-filter counts that the write path would never ingest (#2394). The attribution decision now lives in ONE shared gate (sessionIsAttributable — cheap-parse: cwd extraction + memoized resolveGitRemote, never a full page build) used by BOTH probeMode and preparePages, so the two stages' post-attribution counts are structurally identical. ProbeReport gains skipped_unattributed; the probe prints what it excluded and --include-unattributed restores raw counts. The parity is pinned at the prepare stage (probe post-attribution == transcripts reaching import), deliberately NOT == final written. Re-derived from PR #2612 under the generated-file screening rule; the shared-gate design and the remote memo are additions from the plan review. Fixes #2394. Contributed by @Lockyer228 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(browse): allow CPU and network throttling for performance measurement Adds Emulation.setCPUThrottlingRate and Network.emulateNetworkConditions to CDP_ALLOWLIST. Motivation: diagnosing a real "uploads take 1-2 minutes" report, the only machine available was a fast developer workstation. Client-side processing measured 1.4s where the user experienced minutes, so the conclusion had to be reached arithmetically rather than observed. Throttling would have let the measurement reproduce the reporter's conditions directly. Both fit the existing posture rather than widening it: - Emulation already allows setDeviceMetricsOverride, clearDeviceMetricsOverride and setUserAgentOverride, which are equally mutating and scoped to the tab. - Neither method reads page content. setCPUThrottlingRate affects only timing; emulateNetworkConditions constrains traffic rather than inspecting it, so no request bodies, headers or cookies are exposed. Both are output: 'trusted' because they return no page-derived data. scope 'tab' for both, matching the surrounding Emulation entries. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(session-update): lock pidfile records the live holder; hard TTL bounds every wedge (#2613) echo $$ inside the backgrounded subshell recorded the PARENT hook's PID — which exits immediately — so every subsequent session judged the lock stale and rm -rf'd a LIVE holder's lock, letting concurrent updaters run over each other. The pidfile now records ${BASHPID:-$(sh -c 'echo $PPID')} (macOS bash 3.2 has no BASHPID; the sh child's PPID is exactly this subshell). Staleness is now two independent detectors: PID liveness (as before, but against the real holder), and a 30-minute hard TTL on the heartbeat mtime — reclaimed regardless of kill -0, so a recycled PID or hung holder can't wedge the lock forever. The holder touches the pidfile after the pull and after setup, so a legitimately-slow run keeps itself alive. Empty and missing pidfiles are respected inside the TTL window (the mkdir→echo race) and reclaimed past it. Fixes #2613. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(browse): explicit windowsHide on every Bun.spawn site + census tripwire (#2575 residual) Bun.spawn sites were structurally outside the windowsHide census (it swept child_process bindings only). The runtime was already safe — native Bun hides consoles by default and bun-polyfill.cjs defaults windowsHide !== false since #2523/#2539 — but implicit defaults are exactly what regress silently. Every Bun.spawn/spawnSync in browse/src now carries the explicit flag (harmless on unix-only sites like Xvfb/xattr/open), and a second SWEEP in windows-spawn-hide.test.ts fails CI on any new flagless Bun.spawn site. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gbrain): brain worktree advances on the daily sync — no more silently stale brains (#2516) The daily pull refreshed only ~/.gstack itself, never the detached worktree at ~/.gstack-brain-worktree that gbrain actually indexes — so after setup the brain served stale pages forever unless setup-gbrain/sync-gbrain happened to run. brain-sync --once now advances the worktree once per 24h behind an ATTEMPT stamp (.brain-worktree-last-advance — a persistently-failing advance warns once a day, not at every skill boundary), inside the existing run lock and before any ingest step touches the worktree. The new gstack-gbrain-source-wireup --advance-only is built for the unattended cadence: git-only (no gbrain prereqs), pins every operation to the managed worktree (refuses paths that are not worktrees of the artifacts repo), refuses dirty worktrees, and never runs the force-remove recovery — a cron path must not be able to delete local changes. A static pin keeps the force-remove out. docs/gbrain-sync.md stops overclaiming the old cadence. Fixes #2516. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(memory-ingest): honor the per-remote deny/read-only trust policy (#2392) Transcript ingest now respects the same trust store as code import — the gate existed only in gstack-gbrain-sync's runCodeImport, so memory-ingest happily ingested transcripts from deny-listed repos. preparePages filters prepared transcript pages through ONE batch policy lookup (new 'get --batch' verb on bin/gstack-gbrain-repo-policy — the script owns URL normalization; the client adds repoPolicyTierBatch, one spawn for all distinct remotes, so large corpora never pay a 10s-timeout subprocess per remote). Outcomes match code-import semantics: read-only → clean skip (skipped_policy_readonly), deny → counted refusal (skipped_policy_deny), corrupted/unreadable store → HARD ERROR before any write (state, staging, egress receipt, and import all untouched) with the recovery command named — policy corruption must never read as successful ingestion. Artifacts are never policy-filtered (their git_remote is a project slug, not a remote). Fixes #2392. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(config): repo_mode keeps its empty no-default semantics (#2611 follow-up) The ported defaults table synthesized repo_mode → "unknown", but EMPTY is load-bearing for that key: gstack-repo-mode treats any non-empty answer as a user override and skips its own repo classification — the synthesized default turned the classifier into dead code (REPO_MODE=unknown everywhere; caught by test/gstack-repo-mode.test.ts via the wave's cross-agent blame protocol). repo_mode joins the empty-is-real carve-outs (empty output, exit 0). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(pair-agent): consent before killing a healthy headless daemon The pair-agent headed switch spawned 'connect --force-restart' unconditionally — auto-killing a live headless daemon (open tabs, cookies, logins) in direct contradiction of the iron rule it sits beside ('only an explicit --force-restart may kill a live daemon'). The CLI now captures daemon liveness BEFORE ensureServer (which can itself boot a fresh daemon) and relaunches only when the user passed --force-restart to pair-agent; otherwise it prints the tab count and continues against the existing daemon. The /pair-agent skill gains a matching one-way-door consent question (template half rides the wave's template block). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gbrain-status): MCP scoping is per-project, and project-local beats user scope hasRemoteOnlyGbrainMcp scanned EVERY project's mcpServers in ~/.claude.json, so one project's remote gbrain registration reclassified broken local engines as thin-client machine-wide. It now reads user scope plus only the cwd's nearest-ancestor project key. The precedence itself was verified empirically and hermetically (fake HOME + CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR fixtures, claude 2.1.233): with both scopes defining gbrain, 'claude mcp get gbrain' reports Scope: Local config — PROJECT-LOCAL WINS. Both in-repo consumers assumed the opposite; brain-cache's endpoint resolution flips to nearest-ancestor-project-first, and the stale user-first pin in brain-cache-roundtrip now pins the verified precedence. (The user-first jq in the brain-sync preamble resolver gets the same swap in the template block.) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(slug): gstack-slug matches remote-slug's owner-repo canonical form (live misfile bug) Found live during this wave's CEO review: bin/gstack-slug emitted SLUG=garrytan for this garrytan/gstack worktree while remote-slug correctly gave garrytan-gstack — decisions, timeline, ceo-plans, and learnings were filing into the wrong project store (observed polluting Context Recovery with another repo's decisions). Root cause: a stray empty ~/.git directory made the walk-up crown $HOME as the outermost project root; the remote lookup ran only against that root, failed silently, and the basename fallback cached 'garrytan' sticky. NOT worktree-specific — any strong marker on a non-repo ancestor triggered it. Fix: the walk now finds the outermost ancestor whose .git actually resolves an origin remote and derives owner-repo with remote-slug's byte-identical parse; marker-only ancestors keep anchoring the basename fallback but can no longer shadow a real remote. A new cache self-heal recomputes the poisoned shape (cached == basename of a marker root while a remote-bearing repo exists below), preserving legit #2212 stickiness. Nested-repo walk-up, no-remote and non-git fallbacks, and the SLUG=/BRANCH= eval contract are unchanged, pinned by a 10-case parity suite. Store migration for pre-fix data is tracked in TODOS.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(brain-sync): per-record spool dir — the enqueue/drain race dies structurally Producers appended lines to .brain-queue.jsonl while the drain re-read and os.replace'd it; the in-code comment admitted a lockless append between the re-read and the replace was lost. Locks and rename-rotation designs were both reviewed and rejected (each retained a tail race); the shipped design is a maildir-style spool: one FILE per record in .brain-queue.d/ (tmp + atomic rename), the drain snapshots filenames, processes, and deletes exactly what it snapshotted. Writer and drainer never share an inode — nothing to race. Semantics: at-least-once (a crash between process and unlink re-drains; downstream content-hash dedup absorbs duplicates); retained (privacy-held) records keep their files; unparseable records are kept + warned, never destroyed. Legacy .brain-queue.jsonl migrates atomically on the next drain (crash-leftover .migrating files recovered too); status/drop-queue count both surfaces; discover-new writes spool records and advances its cursor per-record-written. The preamble's queue-depth line switches to spool count in this wave's template block. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(bin-context): native slug fallback walks up like bash gstack-slug slugFromEnvironment derived the slug from the INNERMOST repo's origin while bash gstack-slug walks to the outermost project root — nested/vendored repos split their stores across the bash/native boundary (win32 hits the native path constantly). The native fallback now ports _outermost_project_root faithfully (strong/weak markers, outermost-strong-wins, 64-depth cap, fixed-point termination) plus the full resolution order: env override → walk-up → sticky cache with the #1125 self-heal → remote get-url → basename. Twelve mirrored scenarios drive BOTH implementations against the same fixtures and pin identical slugs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(next-version): git fallback queries the live remote, never mutates, and keeps 3-digit width The degraded path counted every remote-tracking ref on every remote — stale experiment branches and second remotes inflated version allocation, and a failed base read flipped 3-digit repos to 4-digit slots. Now: ls-remote --heads origin first (GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0, 5s timeout, zero local ref mutation); on failure, local refs/remotes/origin ONLY with an explicit stale-refs warning; a failed base read zeroes at the LOCAL version file's width so a 3-digit repo allocates 0.0.1, not 0.0.1.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): hooks register the global-install path and re-point stale ones Registering hooks from a dev worktree baked that worktree's absolute path into settings.json — deleting the worktree left a dead hook erroring on every session stop, and the presence-only dedup (list-sources | grep) could never re-point it. setup's hook paths now route through _hook_install_path (global install preferred, source dir fallback), and the new ensure-event verb on gstack-settings-hook compares the registered command payload against canonical: identical → no write, different → single atomic replacement (never zero or two registrations). The plan-tune hooks had the same stale pattern and get the same fix without re-triggering their consent prompt. Also hardened: bun 1.3.13 turns an uncaught sync fs error in bun -e into a SILENT exit 0 — the registrar's write path now catches, prints, and exits 1, so a failed update can never report fake-green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(preamble): learnings capture is unconditional at completion (#2402) 43 of 44 learnings entries came from explicit /learn — the completion-status prose read 'if you discovered a durable project quirk... log it', which models treated as optional. The step now ALWAYS runs: review the session for durable learnings, log each one, and state 'No durable learnings this session' explicitly when the review comes up empty — an empty result, never a skipped step. Re-derived from PR #2612 under the generated-file screening rule. Fixes #2402. Contributed by @Lockyer228 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(scrape): untrusted-content warning on the page-fetching skills (#2441) /scrape and /skillify consumed page content with zero injection guidance — the CHANGELOG claimed coverage the skills didn't have. The warning now lives in ONE exported const (UNTRUSTED_CONTENT_WARNING in resolvers/browse.ts), embedded in the browse COMMAND_REFERENCE as before AND injected standalone into both skills via the new {{UNTRUSTED_CONTENT_WARNING}} token — single source, wording can never drift between surfaces. Re-derived from PR #2612 under the generated-file screening rule. (Structural isolation for skillify-generated code is tracked as its own TODO.) Fixes #2441. Contributed by @Lockyer228 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(review): checklist paths resolve from the installed skill root (#2518) /review Step 2 read .claude/skills/review/checklist.md — a path relative to the TARGET repo, which only resolves in gstack's own checkout. Every checklist/greptile-triage/TODOS-format reference (six across five templates — two more than the issue named, same class) now uses the installed-root form ~/.claude/skills/gstack/review/... that the templates' other references already use. The install-root class itself (non-default install dirs) is #1882, deliberately its own PR. Fixes #2518. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(pair-agent): one-way-door consent question before a daemon relaunch (template half) The skill flow now checks daemon liveness before Step 4 and asks an explicit one-way-door question (tabs/cookies/logins are lost) before passing --force-restart — never proceeding on a vague reply. Pairs with the CLI-half commit that stopped pair-agent auto-killing live daemons. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(codex): resume does not amortize the ~21K session prelude (#2387) Measured (#2387): every codex exec call pays Codex's session prelude, and a resumed call came in slightly ABOVE a fresh one — resume buys continuity, never token savings. The skill now says so where the resume flow lives: prefer one codex call per skill, batch questions into it. Fixes #2387. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(upgrade): fast-forward first; reset --hard only behind a proved-safe gate (#2517) /gstack-upgrade went straight to stash + reset --hard origin/main. Now it tries git pull --ff-only --autostash first (the same policy session-update's auto-upgrade uses). The destructive fallback runs unprompted ONLY when both git status --porcelain AND git rev-list origin/main..HEAD are empty — a clean tree with unpushed local commits is NOT safe, reset destroys them. Anything else requires an explicit one-way-door confirmation that lists every dirty file and unpushed commit being discarded. Fixes #2517. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(preamble): brain-sync block counts the spool queue and resolves MCP project-first Two resolver halves deferred from earlier wave commits: the queue-depth line counts .brain-queue.d/*.json spool records (plus legacy lines until the drain migrates them), and GBRAIN_MCP_ENTRY_JQ swaps its operands to nearest-ancestor-project-first — matching the empirically verified Claude Code precedence (project-local beats user scope) instead of the backwards user-first assumption. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: regenerate SKILL.md docs + golden fixtures (single regen for the template block) Pure generator output for the six template/resolver commits above (learnings capture, untrusted-content warning, review paths, pair-agent consent, codex resume note, upgrade ff-only, brain-sync block) — bun run gen:skill-docs + --host codex + --host factory, with the three ship golden fixtures refreshed per the documented procedure. The three sidecar-path pins in gen-skill-docs.test.ts move to the new installed-root/$GSTACK_ROOT contract (#2518). Restores template freshness; full suite green from here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: TODOS.md — strike the six wave-fixed residuals, add two follow-ups The v1.67 adversarial-review residuals section shrinks to the one item the wave couldn't reach (iOS tap routing — needs real-device verification). New entries: skillify structural isolation (a prose warning is not a boundary for page-derived generated code) and the slug store migration (pre-fix sessions on stray-marker machines filed data under the degraded slug; post-fix reads go to the correct store, so history needs a merge/alias). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: align cross-cutting pins with the wave's contracts Three suites pinned pre-wave behavior: browse's gstack-config test asserted the old unknown-key ''/exit-0 shape (#2611 made it exit 1); the Windows-paths suite pinned O_APPEND enqueue atomicity (the spool design satisfies the same invariant via tmp + os.replace, one file per record — pinned in its new form); and nine carve-guard skeleton ceilings absorbed the #2402 unconditional-learnings prose (~450B per skill), bumped with measured values per the guard's own protocol. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: re-anchor the referenced-path scanner self-check to the gstack-rooted review refs The self-check pinned the review checklist as a class-1 alias-relative ref; #2518 moved those refs to the installed gstack root (class 2). The guard now proves the scanner sees them in their new class, so the class-2 assertion can't go vacuous. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: pin the wave's prose-tier behaviors (ship coverage-audit gap closure) The coverage audit found one regression-shaped gap: nothing pinned that the upgrade template's ff-only pull precedes the gated reset --hard (#2517) — a future template edit reverting to reset-first would fail nothing. Pinned: the ordering, the FF_OK gate, and the unpushed-commits check. Also pinned the two minor gaps: the {{UNTRUSTED_CONTENT_WARNING}} injection points in scrape/skillify (#2441) and brain-uninstall's spool-dir cleanup. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: pre-landing review round — 8 auto-fixes + 8 accepted findings hardened The ship review army (4 specialists + red-team + checklist, 29 findings) produced 8 mechanical auto-fixes and 11 decisions; the accepted set: - win32 slug parity completed: lib/bin-context.ts gains the remote-first outermost walk + degraded-cache self-heal the bash side got this wave — the two implementations now agree on the stray-marker live-bug shape, pinned by shared fixtures (multi-specialist 9/10 finding). - probe honors the plan's bounded-read decision: 256KB prefix, extraction semantics mirrored from parseTranscriptJsonl so probe/prepare can never diverge on the same file (>1MB transcript test). - policy normalize parity: bash normalize() now matches canonicalizeRemote on .git/-trailing and uppercase-.GIT shapes (7-shape corpus pinned two ways) — a deny for those shapes could previously slip the transcript gate. - session-update reclaim is TOCTOU-safe (atomic mv-aside on both branches). - settings-hook: unparseable settings.json errors instead of being replaced with {}; ensure-event keys on (event, source) so matcher changes update in place — never zero or two registrations. - dot-only slug guard at both parse sites (hostile 'url = ..' can't escape projects/); enqueue tmp-file janitor (1h TTL, inside the drain lock); brain-sync .migrating never clobbered; drop-queue/status count .migrating; snapshot -o warning correct + surfaced in diff mode; version-bump test order-dependence removed; uninstall clears the advance stamp. Deferred with record: slug heal-probe cost sentinel (P3 TODO), FF_OK conflation (noted, misdiagnosis-only). 270 pass / 0 fail across the 10 touched suites. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: adversarial round — the P0 finalize fail-safe and 12 hardened findings Three adversarial passes (Claude fresh-context, Codex chaos, Codex structured with P1 gate) on the full wave diff. Multi-source findings, all fixed: - P0: finalize_queue is now explicit-delete-only — a record is unlinked ONLY when classification proves it staged or dropped; a classifier crash, a missing class file, or a malformed pulled .brain-privacy-map.json (which previously nuked the whole snapshotted queue, remotely triggerable) now retains everything, warns, and re-drains next run. load_privacy_map treats corrupt maps as retain-all, never as empty. - next-version cannot silently drop a live claim: unreadable advertised refs get a targeted --depth=1 fetch + retry; still-unreadable claims surface as UNKNOWN warnings instead of duplicate-version silence. - session-update lock: ownership-checked EXIT trap (a TTL-reclaimed holder can no longer delete the new holder's lock) + a 5-min background heartbeat so a legitimately-slow pull/setup is never reclaimed while alive. - ensure-event collapses ALL same-(event,source) duplicates to one canonical entry; unique per-process tmp path; setup call sites surface (not swallow) the hardened refusals. - memory-ingest: --limit counts only policy-permitted pages (denied records no longer starve permitted ones); --probe applies the same policy filter as --bulk (skipped_policy_* fields on the report). - version-bump repair accepts a genuine literal 0.0.0.0 VERSION file. - slug heal restricted to the stray-.git shape — package.json-anchored wrapper roots keep their legit sticky identity (#2212 preserved). - brain-sync: idle fast path sees leftover .migrating records; unparseable spool records quarantine instead of warning forever; migration comment stops overclaiming the transition-window race. - CDP throttling justifications document override persistence (callers own restoration), pinned in the allowlist test. Deferred with record: deny retroactivity for already-ingested pages (P2 TODO, same semantics as the code-import gate); legacy-migration tail race (transition-window, requires pre-spool writers). 288 pass / 0 fail across the 10 touched suites. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: regenerate SKILL.md docs + goldens (Windows-separator jq fix) Pure generator output for the brain-sync block's jq ancestor match now accepting backslash-formed Windows project keys — previously project-scoped brains were invisible on Windows while the TS scope resolvers saw them. Golden ship fixtures refreshed per the documented procedure. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: codex verify-pass residuals — chunked cwd read, post-filter partial count, migrating depth The verify re-review passed the P1 gate (0 P1s) and left three residuals, all applied: transcriptCwdFromPrefix reads in chunks until one complete record (4MB cap) so a giant first prompt can't truncate mid-JSON and break probe/bulk parity; partial_pages derives from the FINAL prepared set instead of the whole scanned corpus; the preamble queue-depth line counts leftover .brain-queue.jsonl.migrating records like the status path does (regen + goldens included). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.68.0.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: update project documentation for v1.68.0.0 BROWSER.md: fix the $B cdp example (positional JSON params, not --json; depth is the real CDP param) and add the new perf-throttling examples (Emulation.setCPUThrottlingRate, Network.emulateNetworkConditions) with their clear-override counterparts. USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK.md: the state-files table row for the sync queue now names the maildir-style spool dir .brain-queue.d/ that replaced .brain-queue.jsonl this release. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: align memory-pipeline probe pins with the #2394 stage-count contract The paid-tier E2E pinned the pre-fix contract (probe headline = raw discovered). Probe now counts post-attribution — the same gate --bulk uses — with an explicit unattributed-skip line. Adds the --include-unattributed companion pin so all 9 fixtures stay accounted for. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(next-version): batch missing-tip fetches — one bounded round trip, never a per-branch crawl The targeted-fetch retry for branches whose advertised tip has no local object ran ONE git fetch per branch (10s cap each). On a shallow clone against a busy remote that crawls the network for minutes — CI's shard deadline killed the free suite mid-file. Missing tips now collect into a single batched shallow fetch (15s cap); refs still missing after the batch (one unservable ref fails the whole transfer) get a capped per-branch retry, and anything past the cap warns as an UNKNOWN claim instead of fetching. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(next-version): pin the batched fetch + make the offline-contract tests hermetic Two new G2 pins: N unfetched claim branches resolve with exactly ONE fetch spawn (PATH-shimmed git counts invocations), and one unservable ref no longer poisons the batch — live claims resolve via the bounded retry while only the ghost warns UNKNOWN. The #2545 offline-contract tests now run the CLI in a local fixture repo instead of the repo's own checkout: the checkout path did a live ls-remote against the real origin (operator-network-dependent, and the CI shard-deadline hang). The online-contract test gains a succeeding gh stub, so fallback:null is asserted deterministically instead of only when the operator happens to be authed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(redact-cli): derive the synthetic AWS-key fixture — no contiguous credential literal in source The CI quality gate scans every ADDED diff line with the redact engine, so the #2610 port's raw fixture literals failed the very gate they exist to test. The fixture is now assembled at runtime; the scanner still receives the identical bytes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(next-version): pin the fixture's host via origin-URL sniff — kills the last environment dependence The hermetic offline-contract fixture had no origin remote, so detectHost() fell through to auth probes: a machine with glab authed passed via the gitlab path while a bare CI runner read host:unknown (offline stays false there) and failed. The fixture now pushes to a local bare origin at a path containing github.com — the URL sniff pins host:github identically everywhere, asserted explicitly in both tests, with every git call still local.

+2131 people	ae8914af7e	v1.67.0.0 fix: the tracker wave — XProtect self-heal, complete installs, brain-sync integrity, 31 community PRs credited (#2604) ... * fix(test): host-config goldens self-provision .agents/.factory artifacts Fixes #2532. The codex/factory golden tests read gitignored artifacts that only gen-skill-docs.test.ts (serial tree-mutating phase) produces, so the file failed in isolation and on clean clones (the #2536 "3 failures then 0" symptom). beforeAll now generates a host's artifacts iff its ship SKILL.md is missing — never overwriting existing ones, so stale artifacts still fail the golden. The file is also classified TREE_MUTATING so its provisioning runs in the serial window, not racing parallel readers. Verified: full pass with .agents/ and .factory/ deleted (74/74 in isolation). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): exempt the live repo tree from hermetic-wiring's operator-~/.claude ban The skill-seeding tripwire asserted every seeded symlink target must NOT start with ~/.claude — but on the default global-git install the repo itself lives at ~/.claude/skills/gstack, so every CORRECT symlink (which must resolve into the live repo tree, as the very next assertion requires) carried the banned prefix. The test could never pass on a default install: pristine v1.64.1.0 (c118e240) fails it in any worktree under ~/.claude/skills/ and passes elsewhere (verified 2026-08-15). Exempt targets that realpath into the resolved repo ROOT before applying the operatorClaude ban — realpath both sides so a symlinked HOME can't dodge the tripwire. Genuine escapes (a target under ~/.claude but outside the repo) still fail with the escape message. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen-skill-docs): quote YAML inline scalars containing '...' (Bun strict parser breaks on bare ellipsis) A bare ... inside a plain YAML scalar is a document-end marker that strict YAML parsers (Bun.YAML among them) reject mid-scalar. catalog-trim truncation appends '...' to any description whose lead exceeds 200 chars, so any truncated description would generate a SKILL.md with unparseable frontmatter. Add the ellipsis test to toYamlInlineScalar's needsQuote so such scalars are emitted double-quoted, plus unit coverage for the quoting rules. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen-skill-docs): throw when a template contains {{PREAMBLE}} twice Hardens the #2508/#2362 class: a second {{PREAMBLE}} occurrence — even a prose mention, which is exactly how spec/SKILL.md.tmpl re-expanded the full ~12K-token preamble mid-document — now fails generation with the template path instead of silently shipping a doubled preamble. Pure exported guard (assertSinglePreamble) called from resolvePlaceholders, unit-tested with the original prose-mention shape. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): classify catalog-trim.test.ts as tree-mutating Discovered while landing the duplicate-{{PREAMBLE}} guard: importing scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts executes its top-level body, which regenerates the entire claude host (71 GENERATED files) at import time. catalog-trim.test.ts does that import from a PARALLEL shard — the same read-during-regeneration hazard class as #2532, invisible only because the regen is byte-identical on a fresh tree. Move it to the serial tree-mutating window. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): prepush hook test builds PATH with a POSIX-only separator `test/redact-prepush-hook.test.ts` shadows `git` with a stub by prepending a temp dir to PATH, built as `${stubDir}:${process.env.PATH}`. On Windows the separator is `;`, so that produces one unparseable entry, the stub is never found, and the REAL git runs — the diff succeeds, `gitStrict` never throws, and the hook exits 0 where the test expects 1. It fails as a wrong assertion rather than as a portability problem, which is what made it hard to place. Replace it with a `prependPath` helper mirroring the one already in test/gstack-brain-context-load.test.ts, which handles both platform details: `path.delimiter`, and a case-insensitive lookup of the existing env key — Windows commonly spells it `Path`, and adding a second `PATH` alongside an inherited `Path` leaves the winner up to the spawn implementation. On POSIX the helper resolves to `{ PATH: binDir + ":" + process.env.PATH }`, byte-identical to the expression it replaces, so behaviour there is unchanged. Fixing the separator alone does not make the test pass on Windows, and it cannot: the premise is that a signal-killed child yields `spawnSync` status === null, and Windows has no equivalent (a force-killed process reports a non-zero exit code). The stub is also a `#!/bin/sh` file named `git`, which Windows will not execute, since process creation resolves through PATHEXT and ignores the shebang. A Windows variant would assert the non-zero-exit branch instead — a different branch than the test name claims — so the test is gated with test.skipIf(process.platform === "win32"), matching test/session-runner-timeout.test.ts and test/setup-emoji-font.test.ts. Windows before: 14 pass, 1 fail. After: 14 pass, 1 skip, 0 fail (3 consecutive runs). Unchanged on POSIX, where it should still run and pass — worth confirming in CI, since I can only verify the Windows half here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(artifacts): sync the decision store, which no allowlist glob matched gstack-decision-log enqueues projects/<slug>/decisions.jsonl after every write, but none of the 16 managed globs matched it, so compute_paths_to_stage rejected every one at its "must match at least one allowlist glob" check. The writer and the syncer disagreed silently: enabling artifacts sync backed up learnings, plans, designs and timelines -- everything except the durable decision ledger -- and nothing reported a miss, because a dropped path prints exactly what a synced one does when the queue is otherwise empty. Add the three decisions.* globs and class them artifact so they also sync in artifacts-only mode. The test reads the heredocs out of the script rather than executing it: gstack-artifacts-init.test.ts drives the real script through #!/bin/bash shims and a colon-separated PATH, so it cannot run on Windows -- the platform where the companion slug bug bit. * fix(windows): resolve the project slug natively when gstack-slug cannot spawn bin/gstack-slug is a `#!/usr/bin/env bash` script with no file extension. Windows honors neither the shebang nor PATHEXT for an explicit path, so spawnSync fails ENOENT and resolveSlug returned its literal fallback, "unknown". Every decision on the machine was therefore filed under ~/.gstack/projects/unknown/ -- one bucket shared by every project -- while the bash-side Context Recovery preamble resolved the real slug, found no decisions.active.json there, and skipped through a bare `if [ -f ... ]` with no else. Nothing failed. Both decision bins (log and search) missed identically, so writes and searches stayed consistent with each other, and the only component that resolved correctly was silent by design. Measured on one machine: 62 decisions accumulated over 10 days and 170 skill runs, surfaced zero times. shell:true is not the fix here, unlike #1731 -- cmd.exe cannot run a bash script either. Nor is re-spawning through `bash`: on Windows that frequently resolves to WSL, whose $HOME and /mnt/c paths yield a different slug AND a different cache directory, trading one split store for another. Instead, port gstack-slug's own three steps (cache -> git remote -> basename), keeping its alphabet and its MSYS-form cache key so both paths agree. The fallback is win32-gated, so POSIX behaviour is byte-identical. Tests exercise the fallback on every platform (only the gating is win32-specific), so POSIX CI catches a regression that would otherwise surface only on a Windows user's disk, plus a static gate pinning the platform check. * fix(security): guard brain-sync arithmetic against injected .brain-last-pull; sanitize _GBRAIN_HOST Re-derived from PR #2588 under the generated-file screening rule (resolver hunks taken; SKILL.md files regenerated, not accepted). A poisoned .brain-last-pull could reach bash arithmetic ($(( ))) — a code-execution vector from a writable state file; the timestamp is now validated numeric before use. _GBRAIN_HOST from ~/.claude.json is clamped to hostname-safe characters before echo. Ship goldens refreshed to the regenerated output. Co-authored-by: sneakygriff <89592870+sneakygriff@users.noreply.github.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sync): run gstack-brain-sync through bash, not cmd.exe, on Windows The brain-sync stage failed on EVERY Windows run with "is not recognized as an internal or external command", so /sync-gbrain always reported ERR brain-sync among otherwise green stages. #1731 gave these spawns shell: NEEDS_SHELL_ON_WINDOWS. That is correct for the gbrain.cmd shim and does nothing here: shell:true routes through cmd.exe, which resolves .cmd/.bat via PATHEXT but has no concept of a shebang, so an extension-less bash script is rejected outright. A .cmd shim needs a shell; a shebang script needs an interpreter. The two cases look identical and are not. The failure was quiet rather than loud. artifacts_sync_mode defaults to pushing curated artifacts to git, so a Windows user's learnings piled up uncommitted in ~/.gstack indefinitely while the sync report showed one red line out of four. New bashScriptInvocation() resolves Git for Windows' bash explicitly and passes the script as argv[0]. It prefers Git bash over a bare `bash` on PATH because WindowsApps ships a bash.exe that is the WSL launcher, which would read C:\... as a Linux path; GSTACK_BASH overrides for unusual installs; forward slashes because bash treats backslashes as escapes; and it returns null when no bash exists so the stage says so plainly instead of surfacing an unactionable spawn error. The #1731 tripwire asserted the shape that does not work, so it now asserts the opposite (never a raw spawnSync(brainSyncPath, ...)) and six unit tests cover the resolver. Verified on Windows: the stage now reports "OK brain-sync curated artifacts pushed (4.2s)" and the artifacts repo committed + pushed on its own. Affected-test set unchanged at 14 pre-existing failures before and after, with 6 new passing tests. * fix(gbrain): quote cmd.exe arguments at a single gbrain invocation seam Fixes #2471. With shell:true on Windows, node/bun join argv into one cmd.exe string without quoting, so a repo path with a space — the default C:\Users\First Last\ layout — split into two arguments and every gbrain call carrying a path silently targeted the wrong location (worst: `sources add --path`). All gbrain CLI invocations now build their (cmd, argv, shell) triple through gbrainInvocation(), which quotes risky arguments for cmd.exe's re-parse (embedded quotes doubled). The four direct spawn sites in lib/gbrain-sources.ts route through the seam; the #1731 static invariant is upgraded for seamed files (any direct "gbrain" opener is the violation) and kept as-is for lib/gbrain-local-status.ts. POSIX behavior unchanged (shell:false, passthrough argv). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(brain-sync): classify queue entries, rewrite surgically, re-push stranded commits Fixes #2549 (P0 data loss). Every drain exit previously truncated the WHOLE queue (six `: > "$QUEUE"` sites), which (a) destroyed privacy/mode-held entries while misattributing them as "no allowlisted changes", (b) destroyed entries enqueued concurrently during the drain, and (c) left push-failed commits stranded locally with nothing ever re-pushing them until unrelated new work arrived. Now: compute_paths_to_stage classifies every entry (stageable / retained privacy-held / dropped skipped-invalid-unmatched-missing); rewrite_queue re-reads the LIVE queue at mv time and removes only this drain's processed paths (retained + concurrent appends + unparseable lines survive; atomic tmp+mv); an unpushed-commit detector at run start re-pushes stranded local commits (receipted fail-closed; a receipt refusal skips the retry rather than wedging the drain; guards missing origin/<branch>; runs inside the existing lock). Status lines carry counts; full drop paths go to a 0600 sidecar (.brain-sync-drops.json) so filenames stay out of transcripts. --drop-queue remains the one intentional truncation. Matrix added: privacy retention, unmatched/missing counted drops + sidecar mode, unparseable-line preservation, surgical same-drain retention, push-fail commit retention + detector re-delivery on an EMPTY queue, receipt-refusal skip. 35/35 in test/brain-sync.test.ts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gbrain): make --full do a full code walk, not a delta one `runCodeImport()` walked with a bare `gbrain sync --strategy code --source X`. The strategy is right, but that walk is incremental: it only revisits files changed since the source's checkpoint. A file missed at the ORIGINAL import is therefore never revisited and stays out of the index indefinitely. The reindex-code pass below cannot rescue it. It re-chunks pages that already exist and never walks the filesystem — the same property the comment directly above already relies on when explaining why the walk has to run first. That fix landed one flag short: it made a fresh source get pages at all, but left `--full` unable to discover a file the first walk skipped. Net effect: `/sync-gbrain --full` did not perform a full walk, and re-running it never re-detected the gap. The failure is silent, which is what makes it expensive. Nothing errors, nothing warns, and the verdict block still reports OK while `gbrain search` and `gbrain code-def` answer out of a partial index. It reads as "gbrain is weak at code questions" rather than "the index is incomplete". Measured on two local code sources before and after this change, counting exported functions resolvable via `gbrain code-def`: one went from 61/201 (30%) to 180/201 (89%), importing 79 files that had no page at all; the other had whole source files missing entirely and reached 93%. Both had been serving search from a partial index for weeks. Scoped to `--full` so incremental runs stay fast. `--yes` because this spawns non-interactively and a full walk otherwise prompts to confirm import cost. Anyone can check their own brain without applying this: gbrain sync --source <id> --strategy code --full --dry-run and compare "N file(s) would be imported" against that source's page_count. Worth knowing while doing so: the default strategy is markdown and --strategy is per-invocation, never persisted on the source, so dropping the flag reports strategy=markdown and a handful of files. * fix(brain-cache): honest 'missing' instead of fabricated-empty digests on gbrain failure A gbrain-unreachable failure in fetchRecentDecisions and fetchSalience used to be converted into a cached 'successful' empty digest ("_No prior skill runs recorded._" / "_No salient pages in last 14d._") that refreshEntity stamped with last_refresh. The false negative then survived every subsequent TTL cycle, indistinguishable from a genuine zero-rows result. Now failure returns null, so cmdGet's existing missing/stale-fallback machinery reports the true state — matching what fetchGoals and fetchSimplePage already do on failure. Also adds an Array.isArray guard in fetchRecentDecisions so a malformed payload ({pages: {}} etc.) classifies as failure instead of crashing refreshEntity mid-refresh; a genuinely empty pages array still renders the honest empty digest. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): give the schema-mismatch rebuild test a load-proof budget The rebuild path refreshes every per-project entity against the real gbrain CLI; with an unreachable brain each spawn runs to its own timeout, and under machine load the stack exceeds bun's 5s default (observed 5.2-5.4s, identically on pre-#2587 binaries — a load flake, not a regression). 30s budget matches the sibling brain-sync suite's convention. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory-ingest): parse the current Codex response_item rollout shape Fixes #2105. Codex rollout JSONL moved to { type: 'response_item', payload: { type: 'message', role, content: [...] } }; the parser's legacy payload.message branch never fired on it, so every Codex session imported as an empty shell (message_count: 0 — 243/243 sessions on the reporting machine). Both shapes now parse; non-message response_items (reasoning etc.) are ignored. parseTranscriptJsonl exported for direct unit tests (CLI path unchanged — import.meta.main guard). Note: #2104's staging-in-gitignored-tree half is already defended on main (--include-gitignored + GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, #2144, plus the #2486 reconcile guard) — verified, no change needed; it moves to the close-only roster. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): refresh codex/factory ship goldens from post-#2588 regeneration The #2588 absorb refreshed all three ship goldens, but `bun run gen:skill-docs` regenerates the CLAUDE host only — the codex/factory goldens were copied from artifacts rendered before the resolver change and failed against a fresh external-host regen in the serial test phase. Re-rendered with --host codex / --host factory and re-copied. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(make-pdf): boolean flags no longer swallow the next positional argument Fixes #2514. The parser treated any non-flag token after a flag as its value, so `$P generate --toc essay.md` ate essay.md as --toc's value and failed with "missing input" — the skill's own documented usage only worked when two boolean flags happened to be adjacent. BOOLEAN_FLAGS enumerates the no-value flags; value flags (--watermark, --to, --title, ...) are unchanged. main() now runs behind import.meta.main so tests import the parser directly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(repo-mode): probe GNU stat before BSD so Git Bash stops crashing Fixes #2195. On GNU coreutils `stat -f` SUCCEEDS (filesystem status, not a format string), so the BSD-first fallback chain never fell over — it fed multi-word filesystem output into the cache-age arithmetic and crashed under set -u on Windows Git Bash. GNU `stat -c` fails cleanly on BSD/macOS, making GNU-first deterministic on both; the mtime is numeric-validated before arithmetic as a last line of defense. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(retro): point the prior-retros context query at files /retro actually writes Fixes #2552's live half. The gbrain context-query glob targeted ~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/retros/*.md — a directory and extension nothing writes — so prior-retro recall was dead on every brain-aware run. /retro saves to .context/retros/*.json (repo-local); the query now reads that. The issue's second defect (quoted-tilde orphan sweep) is already fixed on main — the preamble sweeps with "$HOME/..." — verified, no change needed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sync-gbrain): remove the capability-check page file left in the user's repo Fixes #2503. On worktree-pinned brains `gbrain put` materializes the checked page as _capability_check_<pid>.md in the current directory (the user's repo), and `gbrain delete` removes the page but not the file — every /sync-gbrain run left a stray file in the repo root. The check now deletes the materialized file explicitly after the page delete. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(browse): warn that hover scrolls and the daemon tab persists across sessions Fixes #2445. Both behaviors are by design but produced confidently wrong verification output: hovering a below-the-fold element scrolls the page before a "rest state" screenshot (exit 0, wrong section), and the daemon's tab survives sessions so a bare `reload` can act on whatever earlier work left open. The screenshot-evidence section now names both traps with the concrete guards (assert window.scrollY; always goto before verifying). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gitattributes): pin *.txt to LF .gitattributes pins LF for every other text format in the repo (*.md, *.tmpl, *.yml, *.yaml, *.json, *.toml, *.sh, *.ts, extensionless scripts, even the hash-pinned diagram-render dist files). *.txt is the one text format left unpinned.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): install every skill runtime asset for the Claude host On a fresh Claude install, link_claude_skill_dirs installed only SKILL.md (+ sections/) per skill. Every skill that reads a sibling runtime file at .claude/skills/<name>/<file> was broken out of the box: /review stopped at 'Read .claude/skills/review/checklist.md' (file never installed), and qa's templates/references, plan-devex-review's dx-hall-of-fame.md, gstack-upgrade's migrations/, and careful/freeze's bin/ hooks were all silently missing. Codex/Factory/OpenCode/Kiro installers already copied these; the primary host never did. Fix: a shared _link_skill_runtime_assets helper installs EVERYTHING a skill ships next to its SKILL.md, with an explicit exclusion list (F7): node_modules, dist, test, *.tmpl, hidden files. Exclusion-list polarity means a newly added asset installs by default instead of being silently dropped. Assets refresh unconditionally on re-run (rm + relink/copy), so Windows real-dir copies pick up changes after git pull. New free test runs the real installer functions against the live repo into a temp skills dir with a TWO-CLASS referenced-paths assertion (ENG-OV7): alias-relative refs (.claude/skills/<name>/<path>) must exist under the install; repo-anchored refs (~/.claude/skills/gstack/<path>) must exist in the tree modulo an explicit built-artifact allowlist (browse/design/ make-pdf dist + the compiled gstack-global-discover). Known-broken class-2 refs (#2250 bare bin names) are ratcheted: the test fails if they quietly start existing without the entry being removed. Fixes #2317 Fixes #2454 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): alias skills install as rewritten copies, never symlinks The two back-compat alias dirs — _gstack-command (root router) and connect-chrome (→ open-gstack-browser) — symlinked the canonical SKILL.md verbatim, so each alias re-served the canonical frontmatter name:. Claude Code keys skills on that name and requires global uniqueness: the connect-chrome duplicate silently shadowed /open-gstack-browser (whichever readdir returned first won), and the _gstack-command duplicate could drop the ENTIRE personal-skills set — every /gstack command vanished until the user hand-deleted the alias dirs, and the next setup re-broke it. Fix: copy-then-rewrite. A shared _install_alias_skill_md helper reads the SOURCE SKILL.md and writes a fresh copy with name: rewritten to the alias dir's own name (_gstack-command / connect-chrome / gstack-connect-chrome). sed never edits in place: on Unix the old install was a symlink into the repo, and an in-place rewrite through it would have corrupted the generated source (eng review E2). bin/gstack-relink gets the same treatment for its root-alias helper, and its discovery loop now skips symlinked source dirs so the connect-chrome repo symlink can't re-mint the duplicate. Tests assert: installed aliases are NOT symlinks, carry their own unique names, all installed frontmatter names are globally unique, re-runs refresh cleanly, legacy symlinked aliases are replaced not written through, and the source files stay byte-intact. Fixes #2511 Fixes #2201 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): Windows re-runs refresh installed skills for codex/factory/opencode hosts On Windows (Git Bash / MSYS2, no Developer Mode), _link_or_copy installs REAL directory copies. The install guards in link_codex_skill_dirs, link_factory_skill_dirs, link_opencode_skill_dirs, and create_agents_sidecar only ran the copy when the target was a symlink or missing — true on the first install, never again. Every subsequent ./setup after a git pull reported 'gstack ready (codex).' and exited 0 while silently refreshing nothing: users ran stale SKILL.md forever. (link_claude_skill_dirs already handled this; the other hosts never got the treatment.) Fix: all five guard sites bypass the symlink-or-missing check when IS_WINDOWS=1 — _link_or_copy rm -rf's the destination first, so the real-dir copy refreshes in place. Unix behavior is unchanged (symlinks still pass the guard via -L and serve updates without re-copying). The new bash-fixture test drives the REAL extracted functions through the install → upstream change → re-run cycle under IS_WINDOWS=1 (v1 must become v2), pins the sidecar-skip behavior, checks the Unix path stayed a symlink, and statically asserts the bypass at all five sites so factory/opencode can't regress. Registered in the Windows-safe curated list (KNOWN_WINDOWS_SAFE) so it actually runs on the windows-latest CI lane — the 'bin/' pattern hit is a fixture path segment, not a shebang spawn. Fixes #2444 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(uninstall): remove real-directory skill installs, gated on provenance On Windows, setup installs skills as REAL directory copies (cp -R via _link_or_copy). gstack-uninstall's per-skill loop filtered on [ -L ], so every copy was skipped: --force exited 0 and printed 'gstack uninstalled.' while leaving ~52 gstack-* directories plus _gstack-command/ behind in ~/.claude/skills. The same filter also missed the standard Unix shape (real dir + symlinked SKILL.md), which was left as a dangling-symlink husk. Fix: the loop now handles all three install shapes. Symlink entries keep the existing readlink check. Real dirs with a SYMLINKED SKILL.md are removed when the link points into gstack (same semantics as setup's cleanup helpers). Real dirs with a REAL-FILE SKILL.md — the Windows copy shape — are removed ONLY when both provenance gates pass (F8): (a) the directory name is in gstack's skill inventory (source dir names, frontmatter names, gstack- prefixed variants, and the alias dirs), and (b) the SKILL.md carries the existing generated banner '<!-- AUTO-GENERATED from' (ENG-OV10: every pre-v1.67 copy already carries it; a NEW marker would refuse to delete legitimate old installs, recreating the bug). Anything failing a gate is listed to stderr and never deleted — a user's own skill that happens to share a name with a gstack skill survives. Tests: a fake-tree fixture covers removed/kept/listed for every shape (including the F8 name-collision row), and a census test asserts every installable skill's generated SKILL.md carries the banner so the gate can't strand a bannerless skill. Registered in the Windows-safe curated list — the copy shape is exactly what windows-latest exercises. Fixes #2563 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(setup): wire --host cursor through the full install path './setup --host cursor' was accepted by the flag parser and then did nothing: no INSTALL_CURSOR branch existed, so the script built binaries, printed no 'ready' line, and installed zero skills — Cursor users had no way to install gstack at all. Full install slice, re-derived from PR #2547 by @szsunyuan onto the current installers: generate .cursor/ skill docs (host config already existed), create a minimal ~/.cursor/skills/gstack runtime root (root SKILL.md + bin/lib/browse assets + review checklist pair + ETHOS.md + supabase config — bin and lib travel together because bin scripts import ../lib), link the generated gstack-* skills, and plant the repo-local .cursor/skills/gstack sidecar WITHOUT ever wiping the generated SKILL.md files it shares a directory with (link-before-sidecar ordering keeps the generation fallback alive). Auto mode detects Cursor via the cursor binary or the ~/.cursor footprint. gstack-uninstall removes ~/.cursor/skills/gstack* and per-project .cursor/skills/gstack* — and never rmdir's .cursor itself, where Cursor stores user rules. Re-derivation deltas from the PR: the link guards carry the #2444 IS_WINDOWS bypass (re-runs refresh real-dir copies), lib/ and supabase/config.sh ride along like every other runtime root, and the hosts/cursor.ts sidecar field is omitted (HostConfig no longer carries one — sidecar behavior lives in setup).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): render the gbrain :user variant to an out-dir — global installs stay git-clean On a global-git install with gbrain, ./setup and 'gstack-config gbrain-refresh' ran gen:skill-docs:user IN PLACE inside the install checkout, rewriting ~16 TRACKED SKILL.md files. The checkout stayed permanently dirty, every /gstack-upgrade 'git stash' saved a redundant snapshot of generated content, and the growing stash list invited a 'git stash pop' that would lay stale instruction markdown from an older gstack over the current version — a quiet wrong-rules failure mode. Fix, wired through machinery that already existed (gen-skill-docs --out-dir + the symlink install layer): brain-aware SKILL.md now renders into the untracked ~/.gstack/render/claude, and both Claude installers serve the render when present — setup's link_claude_skill_dirs prefers $GSTACK_HOME/render/claude/<skill>/SKILL.md, and bin/gstack-relink does the same so a later config change can't silently flip skills back to the blockless canonical source. setup wipes and rebuilds the render each run, repoints installed skills after a successful render, and removes a stale render (re-linking canonical) when gbrain is gone. gbrain-refresh renders to the out-dir and repoints via relink; its 'this dirties the install's git tree' caveat is retired because it no longer does. A one-time upgrade migration (gstack-upgrade/migrations/v1.67.0.0.sh, F12) restores the legacy dirt: unstaged modifications to SKILL.md / sections/ *.md files in the install checkout are git-checkout'd back to canonical; anything outside that footprint (user edits, untracked files, staged work) is left alone and reported. Idempotent, non-fatal, symlinked installs skipped. Tests: render-preference behavior for both installers, static pins that every executable :user invocation carries --out-dir and the caveat text is gone, migration fixture (restore/leave/idempotent/no-op matrix), and the existing out-dir render test now asserts 'git status --porcelain' gains zero new entries across a full :user render. Fixes #2569 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(redact): close the remaining #1946 fail-opens — detection coverage + one-time consent Two of #1946's reported gaps were still open after the v1.64 fail-closed work (the git-error and oversized-diff paths in bin/gstack-redact-prepush are already strict, chunked, and pinned by tests): 1. Detection fail-open: env.kv required an UPPERCASE name with an '=' assignment, so 'api_key=…', 'apiKey: "…"', and 'password: …' — the most common real config shapes — produced NO finding at all. The pattern is now case-insensitive, accepts ':' (YAML/JSON) as well as '=' assignment, and handles quoted JSON keys. It stays MEDIUM and entropy-gated per the calibration rule (a generic net that cries wolf gets bypassed), with pinned cases for each closed shape plus the placeholder/entropy negatives. 2. Install fail-open: nothing ever offered the guard, so a plain 'git push' scanned nothing and users believing themselves protected weren't. setup now asks ONCE for consent on a real interactive terminal (maintainer decision 6): an explicit answer is recorded to the existing redact_prepush_hook key and never re-asked; a timeout or non-interactive run changes nothing and keeps the hint-only posture. Default stays FALSE, and setup still never installs the hook itself — /ship owns the per-repo install (the wrong-repo invariant is pinned by the existing 'setup carries the hint only' test). Tests: per-shape pattern cases, prompt gating statics (key-absence + TTY + timed default-N read), timeout-persists-nothing, non-interactive stays hint-only with no key write, and recorded-answer-is-silent behavior runs. Contributes to #1946 (the pre-push guard's fail-closed scan paths landed in earlier releases; this closes the coverage and consent gaps it names). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(hooks): Stop hook closes dangling timeline entries — fail-open The preamble writes event:'started' to the project timeline at every skill start, but the matching 'completed' write lives in prose at the END of the skill workflow — unenforceable. An interrupted session, a context blowout, or an agent that simply stops leaked started > completed forever, and the leak was unrepairable after the fact (observed live in #2553). New hosts/claude/hooks/timeline-stop-hook (+ .ts, question-log-hook shim pattern): on Claude Code's Stop event it appends event:'completed' with outcome 'unknown' and source 'stop-hook' for every 'started' entry in the project timeline that has no matching completion. setup registers it via gstack-settings-hook add-event (Stop was already an accepted event) under its own source tag, idempotently; --no-team and gstack-uninstall remove it. FAIL-OPEN contract (F5), pinned by tests: ALWAYS exits 0 — corrupt timeline (bad lines skipped individually, valid ones still repaired), missing timeline, garbage/empty stdin, bun missing from PATH (the shim '|| true's), and an over-cap timeline (10MB skip) all repair nothing and block nothing; errors land in ~/.gstack/hook-errors.log best-effort. The write path is append-only with a ~2s internal budget, and a second Stop is a no-op (already-closed entries never re-close). Correlation is project-scoped by design — the preamble's session id is shell-local, so a concurrent same-project session's entry may close early as a traceable source:'stop-hook' row rather than a silent leak; the header documents the trade-off. Fixes #2553 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * ios-qa: guard DebugBridgeTouch.m on DEBUG, not just TARGET_OS_IOS DebugBridgeTouch.m and its header both promise the code is DEBUG-only and never shipped: "Uses these private UIKit selectors (DEBUG-only; never shipped to App Store)" "DEBUG-only — never link in Release." Nothing enforced it. The only guard was `#if TARGET_OS_IOS`, so a Release build for iOS compiled the entire implementation in, private API and all. Measured on a real app (an iOS Release build, `nm -j` on the app binary): DebugBridge symbols 15 IOHIDEventCreateDigitizer 2 AXSSetAutomationEnabled 1 symbol, 2 strings IOKit.framework 4 strings including +[DebugBridgeTouch sendTapAtPoint:inWindow:] and _OBJC_CLASS_$_DebugBridgeTouch. That is a Guideline 2.5.1 private-API exposure in a shippable binary, and it fails Package.swift's own stated CI invariant: nm -j build/Release/<binary> | grep -q DebugBridge && exit 1 WHY THE EXISTING GUARD DOES NOT COVER THIS Package.swift documents the protection as `.when(configuration: .debug)` on the consuming target's dependency. That works for SwiftPM consumers. It cannot be expressed by an app that integrates DebugBridge as a local package inside an .xcodeproj: Xcode's Filters column under Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content offers platform conditions only — iOS, macOS, visionOS — never build configuration. So for xcodeproj consumers the documented guard silently does nothing, which is precisely the case that was measured. The Swift targets were already safe: all four .swift files are `#if DEBUG` guarded and Package.swift defines DEBUG for them via swiftSettings. Only the Objective-C target, the one that actually links private API, was unguarded. THE FIX 1. DebugBridgeTouch.m.template now branches `#if !defined(DEBUG)` first and emits nothing at all in Release, falling through to the existing iOS and non-iOS branches only in Debug. 2. Package.swift.template declares DEBUG explicitly for the ObjC target: cSettings: [.define("DEBUG", .when(configuration: .debug))] The two Swift targets already did this. Relying on SwiftPM's implicit DEBUG for C-family targets is not worth betting a private-API exposure on. VERIFIED, by compiling the generated file for iOS both ways: xcrun -sdk iphoneos clang -c DebugBridgeTouch.m -arch arm64 ... Release (no -DDEBUG) 0 DebugBridge symbols, 0 private-API symbols, 448 B Debug (-DDEBUG=1) 7 DebugBridge symbols, 6 private-API symbols, 13104 B The harness is unchanged in Debug. Release now emits an empty translation unit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ios-qa): bridges search front-most presented content first A presented sheet sits AFTER the screen it covers in window.subviews, so the elements walk emitted the covered screen first — a client taking the first match for a label activated a control the user cannot reach, and the agent saw a success (measured on a real app: the sheet's 'Create' button ranked 210th behind 35+ covered-screen entries). Menus, alerts and action sheets were worse: each gets its OWN UIWindow, so keying off isKeyWindow missed them entirely — absent from /elements, dropped from /screenshot, untappable via /tap. Re-derived from PR #2397 by @IDSTUK onto the current bridge templates (the SwiftUI tap-reliability rework had moved underneath the PR): ScreenshotBridgeImpl gains orderedWindows(in:) (visible windows front-most first by windowLevel then insertion order, PassThroughWindow overlays still filtered), frontmostWindow(), and searchRoots() (per window, the top-most presented view controller's view before the window itself). /elements walks those roots in order through the existing shared visited-set + budget, so overlapping roots emit each view once at its front-most position; /tap targets frontmostWindow() for both the accessibility-activation and synthesized-touch paths; /type and /swipe search the roots in order; /screenshot composites every window back-to-front at the existing 1x scale. The two now-dead private activeScene/activeKeyWindow copies in ElementsBridgeImpl and MutationBridgeImpl are removed. Fixture mirror synced byte-for-byte; verified with a full 'xcodebuild build -scheme FixtureApp-Package -destination generic/platform=iOS Simulator' (BUILD SUCCEEDED, DEBUG guard from the previous commit included).

Neither exists — only the .ts files ship (mode 644, no bin alias) — so the agent dutifully reported 'script missing at install root' and the ingest/full- sync steps dead-ended on every host (hit live under Codex; the Claude render carries the same text). All four template sites (probe, silent-bulk, post-answer full sync, the preamble-hook incremental mention) and the four memory.md reference-doc sites now use the repo's established form: 'bun run <path>/gstack-memory- ingest.ts …' / 'bun run <path>/gstack-gbrain-sync.ts …' — matching what sync-gbrain already does. Generated SKILL.md regenerated from the template in the same commit. Re-derived from PR #2409 by @SomSamantray per the wave's screening rule (the PR edited the generated SKILL.md directly; the generated file must come from gen:skill-docs). The contributor's structural test rides along as-is: bare-invocation regexes with negative .ts lookahead and backslash- continuation coverage pin every site, so the drift can't return. The referenced-paths ratchet in test/setup-claude-skill-assets.test.ts drops its two #2250 known-broken entries — the class-2 assertion now guards these paths again. Verified against #2250's site list (template lines 690/735/784-area, all covered) plus a fresh grep: zero bare invocations remain in the template or memory.md; the one prose mention ('gstack-memory-ingest now persists…') is not an invocation and stays.

Fourth: the uninstall neutral-target test asserted against os.tmpdir(), which reads $TMPDIR at call time — a shard neighbor can leave it gstack-containing, making the "neutral" symlink target match the provenance substring; the test now falls back to a fixed neutral root and asserts neutrality explicitly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: whitelist engine-locked at all three gbrain-usable gates (#2456) #2194 taught the classifier to report a PGLite lock held by a live \`gbrain serve\` as engine-locked instead of broken-config, but none of the three "is gbrain usable?" gates accepted the new status — so the symptom moved from a wrong error to a quieter wrong suppression: gbrain-refresh stripped GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD / GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS blocks out of every generated SKILL.md after every upgrade, on the RECOMMENDED /setup-gbrain default (PGLite + local-stdio MCP spawns gbrain serve at session start). engine-locked is the same class as timeout (#1964): the engine is installed and healthy, a legitimate holder has the lock. All three gates now agree: - bin/gstack-gbrain-detect --is-ok exits 0 on engine-locked - bin/gstack-config gbrain-refresh case arm renders instead of suppressing - scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts --respect-detection treats it as detected Test mirrors the existing timeout case in test/gbrain-detection-override.test.ts (engine-locked renders brain blocks; the sibling no-cli case still proves suppression works). Applies the reporter's patch + test from the issue.

Bearer-token installs (gbrain connect <url> --token, gbrain's own recommended default for local/personal use) never touch config.json, so they fell through to the local probe, failed against the dead-or-absent local engine, and landed on missing-config / broken-db / broken-config / engine-locked — silently suppressing brain blocks for a fully-working remote brain. New evidence source: hasRemoteOnlyGbrainMcp() reads ~/.claude.json MCP registrations (user scope AND project scope) with the same classification rules as gstack-gbrain-detect's tier-3 fallback. File-read only — no subprocess, no network (a classifier network probe is the #1964 pathology). Wired at two sites in freshClassify: - missing-config branch: a bearer thin client may never have run a local init; if the host's only gbrain registration is remote-HTTP, that registration IS the brain → thin-client. - post-probe-failure demotion: broken-db / broken-config / engine-locked reclassify to thin-client when the only gbrain registration is remote. A local-stdio sibling registration blocks the demotion (federation guard: a user running a local engine plus a remote team brain keeps precise local statuses). "timeout" is excluded — already usable, and may be a genuinely healthy slow local engine. 7 new unit tests in test/gbrain-local-status.test.ts: user-scope, project- scope, engine-locked/broken-db demotion, federation guard, no-registration discriminator, end-to-end --is-ok gate (35 pass total in the file).

Fixes #2520 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: resolve GBRAIN_HOME with gbrain's parent-dir semantics (#2521) gstack treated GBRAIN_HOME as the config directory; gbrain's configDir() treats it as the PARENT and always appends `.gbrain` itself (the contract is explicit in gbrain's source: GBRAIN_HOME=/tmp/x → /tmp/x/.gbrain/ config.json). With GBRAIN_HOME set, gstack classified engine status from a file gbrain never reads — the probe's two halves (file checks vs the spawned `gbrain sources list`) looked at DIFFERENT installs, so any resulting status was arbitrary: missing-config/broken-config against healthy installs, or a thin-client marker gstack saw that gbrain itself reported as "No brain configured". New shared resolver `gbrainConfigDir()` in lib/gbrain-exec.ts is the single source of truth. All seven gstack sites route through the contract: - lib/gbrain-local-status.ts gbrainConfigPath (the classifier's file half) - bin/gstack-gbrain-detect GBRAIN_CONFIG + readRemoteMcpUrl - lib/gbrain-exec.ts buildGbrainEnv (the probe's DATABASE_URL seed — fixing only the classifier would have left the split-brain in the spawn half, flagged by the reporter) - lib/gbrain-guards.ts gbrainHome (clones-dir + autopilot-lock paths) - lib/gstack-memory-helpers.ts gbrainConfigPath (engine-tier fallback) - bin/gstack-gbrain-install pre-doctor config check (shell) Unit tests cover GBRAIN_HOME set (config found at $GBRAIN_HOME/.gbrain), the old flat layout explicitly NOT read (both classifier and buildGbrainEnv), and unset (~/.gbrain unchanged). Existing fixtures that encoded the deviant flat layout are updated to gbrain's contract. Root-cause analysis by @d-danielsun in #2521. Deviation from the 3-site plan spec: the same deviant resolution existed in four more sites (buildGbrainEnv, gbrain-guards, memory-helpers, gbrain-install); fixing only three would have left gstack disagreeing with itself as well as with gbrain, so the whole class moved to the shared resolver in one change. Fixes #2521 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: read project-scoped MCP registrations in gbrain detection (#2499) Claude Code registers MCP servers at two scopes in ~/.claude.json: user scope (.mcpServers) and project scope (.projects["/abs/path"].mcpServers — what `claude mcp add` WITHOUT --scope user writes). Every gbrain detection site read only user scope, so a correctly configured project-scoped brain was invisible: brain-aware blocks suppressed, remote-mode artifacts sync never recognised, and detectEndpointHash fell through to the 'local' literal — two different project-scoped brains hashed identically, so switching between them never invalidated the cache, the exact scenario the function's docstring says it exists to catch. Nothing errored; the features just quietly were not there. Two sites fixed: - scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-brain-sync-block.ts: the shared detection block (rendered into every tier-2+ SKILL.md) now resolves the gbrain entry ONCE into _GBRAIN_MCP_ENTRY — user scope first, then the nearest-ancestor project entry for $PWD that actually carries a gbrain server (longest matching key with a path-boundary check: /a/repo never matches /a/repo2; a nested project WITHOUT gbrain doesn't shadow its parent's registration). _GBRAIN_MCP_TYPE and _GBRAIN_HOST extract from the resolved entry, so claude.json is parsed once per skill start. All SKILL.md files regenerated in this commit; the ship golden fixtures and three carve-guard skeleton caps (plan-eng-review, plan-devex-review, office-hours; ~1.5KB rendered growth per skill) are refreshed with measured values. - bin/gstack-brain-cache detectEndpointHash: same resolution order in TS (user scope, else nearest-ancestor project entry by cwd, both path separators for Windows keys). Tests: rendered-output tests in test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts pin the regenerated block (static markers + a FUNCTIONAL run of the exact rendered lines against a fixture ~/.claude.json with only a project-scoped registration, plus an outside-cwd discriminator); detectEndpointHash unit tests in test/brain-cache-roundtrip.test.ts cover project-scope resolve, path-boundary, nearest-ancestor distinct hashes, and user-scope precedence.

Now a local pin is reused when it passes the fail-closed identity checks: the ID is syntactically valid, the source is registered, and the registered path realpath-resolves to the current checkout (so a stale or copied dotfile can't redirect a sync into another repo's source). A confirmed pin is treated as user-managed — synced and attached without add/remove, legacy migration, or federation changes. Dry-run stays spawn-free (reads only the local marker for previews).

A --version-path / .gstack/version-path target that is a package.json was read as raw text: the whitespace strip turned the JSON into '{"name":"frontend",... which parseVersion rejected, so every read — local, `git show`, and rival PRs' claims through the GitHub/GitLab Contents APIs — fell back to 0.0.0.0 and competing claims were dropped as "malformed". 2. parseVersion required exactly four components, so gstack-next-version exited 2 on EVERY invocation in a 3-digit repo. That CLI IS the queue-collision check; /ship then took its documented offline path of naive local arithmetic, two branches cut from the same base picked the same version, and git merged the duplicate without a conflict. New lib/version-source.ts holds the shared semantics so both CLIs agree by construction: parseVersion accepts 3- or 4-digit (3 pads the micro slot for uniform comparison), versionWidth/fmtVersion keep a 3-digit repo 3-digit through bumping and formatting, micro coerces to patch on 3-digit repos (with a warning in the output), and extractVersion reads a .json version-path as JSON (.version) from any byte source. gstack-version-bump treats a package.json version-path as that repo's single source of truth (written in place, DRIFT_* states can't arise — no second file to drift from). Detection is by shape, not new configuration. Scope per the wave plan's version-tooling end-state spec (decision 11, ENG-OV1): this is the READING capability + 3-digit acceptance ONLY. gstack's own VERSION file stays the 4-digit source of truth; nothing here flips authority to package.json. The PR's bundled fix for the .gstack/version-path pin being ignored by classify's base read lands separately (#2462) — these tests drive the JSON version-path through the explicit --version-path flag.

Per the wave plan's version-tooling end-state spec (decision 11): synced ONLY when the file already exists, never created (gstack itself is bun-only). A failed manifest/lockfile write keeps the existing exit-3 half-write semantics so classify reports DRIFT_STALE_PKG on re-run instead of hiding the drift. Tests: 5 new cases in test/gstack-version-bump.test.ts — both lockfile version fields synced with deps untouched, repair heals a stale lockfile, lockfileVersion 1 (no packages map) doesn't crash, npm-shrinkwrap.json synced without inventing a package-lock.json, malformed lockfile exits 3 loudly (26 pass total in the file).

Subdirectory manifests. A repo whose only Node package lives in web/, app/, or frontend/ has no ROOT package.json, so join(cwd, "package.json") reported pkgExists:false and every bump silently wrote VERSION alone — leaving the manifest to be bumped by hand, which is exactly the drift this tool exists to prevent, in the one layout where it silently did nothing. All three subcommands now resolve the manifest as --package-json-path → .gstack/package-json-path → ./package.json (mirroring resolveVersionPath). 2. npm-valid mirror. VERSION is 4-digit MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.MICRO; npm's semver is 3-component and rejects a fourth, so mirroring the raw form breaks `npm ci` in any repo npm actually manages. The manifest and its lockfiles now carry the npm-valid 3-digit translation (1.67.0.0 → 1.67.0) via npmVersion() in lib/version-source.ts. VERSION stays the 4-digit source of truth. classify judges drift against the TRANSLATED form — a correctly-synced `0.1.25` no longer reads as eternal drift against `0.1.25.0` — and grandfathers the pre-v1.67 1:1 four-digit mirror as in-sync (flagging it DRIFT_UNEXPECTED would hard-stop /ship on every existing repo on upgrade day; the next write migrates the manifest to the translated form). Lockfiles are synced beside the resolved manifest — including beside a pinned JSON version-path — and only when they already exist. classify output gains pkgPath and expectedPkgVersion for observability; write/repair report packageJsonPath + packageJsonVersion. The /ship Step 12 prose (ship/SKILL.md.tmpl) documents the resolution chain and the translation; SKILL.md files regenerated and ship golden fixtures refreshed in this commit. Tests: subdirectory pin + --package-json-path override, translated-form classify (FRESH/ALREADY_BUMPED, no false drift), grandfathered 1:1 mirror, genuine divergence still drifts, repair to the npm-valid form (33 pass in test/gstack-version-bump.test.ts; 526 pass across the five affected files including goldens and parity). Re-derived from PR #2531 by @CarringtonCreative on top of the 3-digit/ JSON version-source work, under decision 11 (which resolves the PR's lockfile-gated translation in favor of an unconditional npm-valid mirror). Co-authored-by: Carrington Dennis <carrdenn3@gmail.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: git-based version allocator when the PR queue is unreachable (#2545) When the host query (gh/glab) failed, gstack-next-version returned offline:true with an EMPTY claim set, and /ship's documented fallback was local BUMP_LEVEL arithmetic. Local arithmetic cannot see a sibling's claim, so the fallback allocated a version another open PR already held — observed in a downstream repo where two merged PRs both read v0.1.57.0 (and an audit found four such duplicate pairs over three weeks). New fetchGitClaimed() degrades the QUEUE VIEW without degrading the ALLOCATION: git already knows what the API was asked for. It reads every remote-tracking branch's pinned version file (through extractVersion, so JSON version-paths resolve on remote refs too and each branch's own digit width is preserved) plus the versions already shipped in the base's last 400 commit subjects (3- or 4-digit; the cap announces itself in warnings when it truncates). The fallback runs only when the host told us nothing — the online path is untouched — and the output gains a load-bearing `fallback: "git" | null` field that /ship can branch on, plus explicit warnings for both the recovered-from-git and the nothing-found cases. Tests: end-to-end stub-gh offline contract (fallback:'git' + a valid version + the warning), sibling-claim discovery from remote-tracking refs, the pick advancing past the sibling's claim, shipped-subject scanning, JSON version-path claims on remote refs, and non-repo degradation to a warning (45 pass in test/gstack-next-version.test.ts). Re-derived from PR #2545 by @CarringtonCreative under the wave plan's version-tooling end-state spec; the PR's own VERSION/CHANGELOG stamping is stripped (release stamping happens at /ship time, not per commit). Co-authored-by: Carrington Dennis <carrdenn3@gmail.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: version-bump honors the .gstack/version-path pin in versionRel (#2462) cmdClassify's current-version read already resolved the .gstack/version-path pin, but versionRel — the repo-relative path fed to `git show origin/<base>:<path>` — was derived from the CLI flag alone (`argVal(args, "--version-path") ?? "VERSION"`). In a pinned repo with no explicit flag, base and current therefore read DIFFERENT files: current from the pinned file, base from the root VERSION. On a repo with no root VERSION, the base always read 0.0.0.0 — and the pinned-JSON handling never engaged, so a pinned package.json was read as raw text (currentVersion 0.0.0.0) and `write` would have overwritten the manifest with a bare version string. New resolveVersionRel() resolves the pin's REPO-RELATIVE form once (flag → .gstack/version-path first line → "VERSION"); classify, write, and repair all derive both the relative and absolute paths from it, so base and current reads can no longer diverge. The old resolveVersionPath (which returned an absolute path `git show` cannot use) is folded in. Unit tests (the ENG-OV6 spec case plus write/repair coverage): pin set + no flag → classify reads base AND current from the SAME pinned file (plain-text sub/VERSION and pinned frontend/package.json, both against a real git base with NO root VERSION anywhere), write updates the pinned manifest in place without inventing a root VERSION, repair treats the pinned JSON as single-source, and the explicit flag still overrides the pin (38 pass in test/gstack-version-bump.test.ts). Re-spec'd per ENG-OV6 from the report in #2462 (the originally-filed classify-read hypothesis was already handled; the live bug was the :138 versionRel derivation). Same fix shape independently identified in PR #2501 by @YiftahR. Fixes #2462 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: diff-scope glob coverage, honest exit contract, dirty-tree visibility (#2526, #2455, #2299) Three silent-skip classes in bin/gstack-diff-scope, each of which quietly disabled scope-gated reviewers in /ship and /review: 1. Pattern gaps (#2526, #2455). `*/api/*` required a path segment BEFORE api/, so a root-level api/ layout (Vercel serverless, Next.js pages/api at root) never set SCOPE_API — 63 serverless functions in the reporter's payments repo, none ever classified, the API-contract specialist silently skipped on every payment PR (it found a CRITICAL when run by hand). Same for root-level migrations/. And the Rails data_migrate gem's db/data/ data migrations — arbitrary Ruby run unattended against production data — fell through to plain BACKEND, so the [NEVER_GATE] data-migration specialist never got the chance to run. Added: api/*, migrations/*, db/data/*, data_migrations/*. 2. All-false was indistinguishable from "could not look" (#2526). New contract: empty change set → all false exit 0; >=1 match → flags exit 0; changed files with ZERO matches → SCOPE_ERROR=unmatched + the unmatched paths as comment lines + exit 2 (a new top-level layout now trips loudly instead of invisibly disabling reviewers); unresolvable base ref (shallow CI checkout) → SCOPE_ERROR=no_base + exit 2 instead of a green that means "we could not look". Every output line stays a shell-safe assignment or comment for sourcing consumers, which tolerate the nonzero exit today (source ... || true / eval). 3. Uncommitted work was invisible (#2299). /ship detects scope in Step 9, BEFORE it commits in Step 15, so the common start-work-then-ship flow ran the classifier against an empty diff and skipped every reviewer. The change set is now the UNION of committed diff + working tree + untracked files. Also from #2299: the single first-match-wins case made the nine flags mutually exclusive (Button.test.jsx set FRONTEND but not TESTS; util.test.ts the opposite) — each category now gets its own case, with BACKEND deliberately still excluding frontend component/view files. And file listing is NUL-safe (git diff -z), so non-ASCII paths no longer defeat extension globs via octal quoting. Deliberate behavior change (flagged in #2299): with independent flags, a backend test file sets BACKEND and TESTS, which can trip the security specialist's SCOPE_BACKEND gate on test-only PRs — errs toward more review, not less. Table-driven tests cover every glob class (root api/, nested api/, controllers, openapi, root/nested/prisma/db-migrate/db-data migrations, dual-category test files, auth, prompts, docs, plain classes), the four-state exit contract, dirty-tree + untracked visibility, and the non-ASCII path case (39 pass in test/diff-scope.test.ts).

Merge origin/main into a feature branch and every commit main gained since that branch's last push becomes an added line — content that is already published, already scanned, and not this push's doing. Two consequences, both observed: · FALSE HIGH FINDINGS. A placeholder connection string in a fixture someone else had already merged blocked an unrelated push as db.url_with_password, telling the operator to rotate a credential over a file they never touched. A guard that cries wolf on catch-up merges is one people learn to bypass reflexively — which is exactly how a real secret gets through. · OVERSIZED SCANS. The SCAN_CHUNK_BYTES comment already records a 1,146,782-byte diff from "a feature branch catching up to a busy main" blowing the engine's 1 MiB cap. Same root cause, treated there as a size problem. Narrowing the range fixes the size too. A two-dot range cannot express this: after merging main, neither the remote tip nor the merge-base with main is an ancestor of the other, so no single base excludes both. The narrowed range is `rev-list localSha --not remoteSha --remotes`. remoteSha STAYS the base — it is what git tells us the remote has, and is authoritative in a way --remotes is not, since tracking refs can be absent or stale. Using --remotes alone excludes nothing in a repo without them, so every commit ever made reads as new. That is the same false positive from the other direction, and it is what the existing test "only NEW content is scanned (remote..local), not pre-existing" catches. When excluding tracking refs changes nothing, this push has no catch-up commits and the plain range already describes it exactly — so we defer to it. That keeps every non-catch-up push on the original gitStrict diff path, which is what #1946's fail-closed regression test exercises. A narrowing that silently retired that test would be a worse trade than the false positives it set out to fix. Each commit is diffed alone. A merge's combined diff shows only content present in no parent, so a secret introduced while resolving a conflict is still caught while an ordinary merge contributes nothing. Tests: 22/22 existing prepush tests still pass (two of them fail without the remoteSha base and the defer-to-plain-range guard respectively — verified by mutation). 5 new tests build real repositories on disk and pin both directions: a catch-up merge no longer re-scans published content, and secrets in new commits, in merge resolutions, and in repos with no remote are all still scanned. Absorbs PR #2592 by @Two-Six-Alpha-1115 (applied via git am -3; 5 new tests pass in test/redact-prepush-scan-range.test.ts). Also narrows the range for the rebased-force-push shape reported in #2573 — proven by the follow-up regression test. Co-authored-by: Scott <scott@peninsulaminerals.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(redact): parcel IDs are not phone numbers A county tax-map parcel ID (APN) reads as a national-format phone number to `pii.phone.e164` — the same collision class as the digit-only UUID that `insideUuid` already guards. `12-3456789.000` matches, and so does its normalized `123456789000`. This is not a rare edge. Land, title and property-tax repos carry APNs by the hundred; a single title branch pushed 2 MEDIUM findings, and the same shape recurs in every fixture, mart and smoke in the domain. A guardrail that cries wolf on the domain's primary identifier is one people learn to wave through, which is how a real HIGH finding eventually gets ignored. The guard is deliberately narrow, in two tiers: 1. The DOTTED form is exempt on its own shape. No phone convention puts a dot before a trailing 3-4 digit group after a 4-8 digit middle. Hyphen-only variants (22-0001-000) are NOT shape-exempted — those genuinely are phone-shaped. 2. A DIGITS-ONLY span is phone-shaped in isolation, so it earns the exemption only by evidence: it must be the exact digit-normalization of a punctuated APN within the surrounding window. Fixtures and marts carry the pair; a real phone number has no such twin. This reads the document's own evidence instead of guessing from digits. Verified against the unmodified engine over inputs spanning every rule family (AWS, PEM, GitHub PAT, email, IP, credit card, SSN, timestamp, UUID, nine phone formats): exactly one behavior changed, the APN pair. The new test pins both directions and was proven red under mutation — stubbing the guard to `return true` (the dangerous blanket-exemption failure) fails 12 of 15; `return false` fails 3.

Co-authored-by: Scott <scott@peninsulaminerals.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: prove the rebased force-push shape is scanned correctly (#2573) #2573: after `git rebase origin/main`, the feature branch's remote tip still exists locally (the pre-rebase tip) but is no longer an ancestor of HEAD, so the old `remoteSha..localSha` range swept in every upstream commit rebased onto — 1.14 MiB scanned instead of 0.27 MiB on the reported repo, tripping the engine's 1 MiB cap and blocking the push with engine.input_too_large (a HIGH that meant "the engine never ran", not a finding). The catch-up-merge narrowing (`rev-list localSha --not remoteSha --remotes`) covers this shape too: the upstream commits are reachable from origin/main's remote-tracking ref, which exists by construction — you cannot have rebased onto origin/main without it. No residual gap found; this lands the proof alone, end-to-end through the actual hook binary with the real pre-push stdin protocol: - fixture sanity: the pre-rebase tip exists locally, is NOT an ancestor, and the OLD two-dot range would have swept in the upstream credential - a clean rebased force-push passes — someone else's already-published HIGH-shaped fixture no longer blocks it - coverage is not narrowed: a HIGH in a rebased commit of our own still blocks - the scanned commit set is exactly the rebased own commits, so scan size is proportional to OUR work, not to how busy main was Analyzed non-gap, recorded in the test header: upstream commits in NO remote-tracking ref cannot arise from the standard flow — rebasing onto origin/<branch> requires the tracking ref, and rebasing onto a purely local branch means the "upstream" content was never published, so scanning it is correct.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * deps(browse): bump playwright + playwright-core to 1.62.1 (P0 #2554 vehicle) Split from dependabot #2582 per plan OV3: this commit bumps ONLY playwright (^1.58.2 -> ^1.62.1, lock resolves playwright@1.62.1 + playwright-core@1.62.1 exactly). puppeteer-core, @huggingface/transformers, marked, and socks are deliberately NOT bumped here — they land separately (73b) gated on the ONNX sidecar smoke. Why: bun.lock pinned playwright(-core)@1.58.2, whose Chromium build macOS XProtect now kills on launch — browse is dead on macOS (#2554). 1.62.1 ships Chromium 151.0.7922.34 (headless shell v1234), which launches clean. Verification: bunx playwright install chromium (Chrome Headless Shell 151.0.7922.34 downloaded), then the full browse suite from browse/: 2016 pass / 32 skip / 2 fail across 129 files (133.9s). Both fails are playwright-independent: data-platform.test.ts "rejects paths in cwd" expects <cwd>/package.json to exist (browse/ has none; passes from repo root, the shard runner's cwd — 15/15), and stealth-webdriver.test.ts passes standalone (15/15) — a 5s-timeout flake under full-suite parallel load. Fixes the vehicle half of #2554 (self-heal lands next commit). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): XProtect launch-kill self-heal — classify, quarantine-clear, bounded reinstall (P0 #2554) macOS XProtect definition updates can start SIGKILLing the exact Chromium revision the lockfile pins (xprotectd killed revision 1208's headless shell at spawn; the failure surfaced as a generic launch timeout). New browse/src/xprotect-heal.ts heals it, once per process: - Classifier (F9): positive signatures sourced from the #2554 report + Playwright's launch-error format (signal=SIGKILL process-exit lines, and launch timeout WITH a <launched> marker), negative-checked FIRST against missing executable, spawn EACCES/EPERM, Linux sandbox denials, and plain exitCode=1 crashes. darwin-gated. - Heal (F4 one-shot, in-memory flag): clears com.apple.quarantine via `xattr -dr` on chromium* revision dirs in the Playwright cache ONLY — never a GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH bundle (probePoisonedChromiumBundle's scope contract, double-gated at the call sites via usesCustomExecutable). - Reinstall (E1/ENG-OV3): `bunx playwright install --force chromium` run FROM THE GSTACK INSTALL ROOT — the root whose node_modules/playwright-core/browsers.json pins the SAME chromium revision our embedded playwright-core expects (a cwd-resolved bunx would fetch latest and heal to the wrong revision). Bounded at 120s with a process-GROUP SIGKILL on timeout; on any heal failure the caller gets the ORIGINAL launch error + manual `bunx playwright install chromium` guidance — the CLI never hangs. - Verification (F9): post-install asserts the REGISTRY-derived executable path exists (the revision dir playwright-core 1.62.1 expects), not merely install exit 0. - Logging (F11): every action emits one structured stderr line ([browse:xprotect-heal] JSON). All three launch sites in browser-manager.ts (headless launch, headed launchPersistentContext, handoff relaunch) route through launchWithXProtectHeal with one post-heal retry. setup's ensure_playwright_browser failure path gains the same quarantine-clear (_clear_playwright_quarantine, Darwin-only, Playwright cache scope) before its Chromium reinstall. Tests: browse/test/xprotect-heal.test.ts — 33 pass (classifier both polarities, one-shot guard incl. failed-heal consumption, custom-executable scope, registry-revision expectation vs playwright-core browsers.json, install-root revision matching, quarantine-clear scope, wrapper retry + guidance surfacing). browser-manager unit/custom-chromium: 36 pass. bridge-chromium-e2e real-launch smoke: 3 pass. setup-windows-fallback ln-invariant: 9 pass. bash -n setup: clean. Fixes #2554. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): daemon owns signal policy — handleSIG*:false at launch sites + SIGHUP shutdown (#2220) Playwright's default handleSIGINT/handleSIGTERM/handleSIGHUP handlers close Chromium the moment the DAEMON process receives a signal — which fights the deliberate headless SIGTERM-ignore in server.ts (Claude Code's Bash sandbox fires SIGTERM when the parent shell exits between tool invocations; the daemon survives it by design, but Playwright's handler killed its browser out from under it). All three flags are now false at all three launch sites (headless launch, headed launchPersistentContext, handoff relaunch). ENG-OV4: the daemon had NO process-level SIGHUP handler (only SIGINT and the mode-aware SIGTERM handler), so flipping handleSIGHUP:false alone would remove the ONLY Chromium cleanup on hangup. server.ts now routes SIGHUP to activeShutdown — the same shutdown path SIGINT uses (closes Chromium, releases ports, removes the state file). Static tripwire (browse/test/launch-signal-flags.test.ts, house grep-style): every chromium.launch/launchPersistentContext site must carry the three flags (site count pinned at 3 so a NEW launch site trips it), server.ts must keep the SIGHUP→activeShutdown route, and the deliberate headless SIGTERM-ignore must still exist (the reason handleSIGTERM:false is safe — pinned in the test's header comment). Tests: launch-signal-flags 3 pass; browser-manager-unit 28 pass; bridge-chromium-e2e real-launch smoke 3 pass. Fixes #2220. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): absorb #2414 residuals — EPERM-alive liveness + Windows-dead test tripwires (re-derived) Re-derive of PR #2414 (SYKhayyat) onto current main. Most of the PR already landed in earlier waves: the tick-derived RESPAWN_GUARD_WINDOW_MS, the spawnTerminalAgent windowsHide flag, the process-liveness regression tests, and the browse/test import.meta.path sweep are all on main. Two pieces remained: 1. isProcessAlive EPERM semantics (error-handling.ts): on the signal-0 path, EPERM means the process EXISTS but we lack rights to signal it — that is ALIVE. Returning false made callers that validate liveness before killing (killAgentByRecord, the terminal-agent watchdog) skip the kill and respawn around a survivor — the self-reinforcing one-leak-per-tick chain from #2414/#2295. Matters for cross-user PID checks. 2. Six test/ files ADDED SINCE the PR reintroduced the exact Windows bug its second commit fixed: `new URL(import.meta.url).pathname` yields `/C:/Users/...` on Windows, so path.resolve prepends the cwd drive and every tripwire ENOENTs instead of asserting anything (egress-receipt, egress-lib, egress-receipt-wiring, gstack-egress-cli, pty-skill-seeding-wiring, skill-census). All six now use import.meta.path — Bun's absolute native path, identical arity. The remaining #2414 piece — replacing the Windows tasklist probe with signal-0 — lands as its own commit (#1952) on top of this shape. Tests: the 6 touched test files 47 pass; process-liveness-windows + error-handling 13 pass. Re-derived from PR #2414 by @SYKhayyat. Fixes the residual of #2295.

Node maps signal-0 to an OpenProcess existence check on Windows — and the Windows daemon runs under Node (dist/server-node.mjs + bun-polyfill, the documented oven-sh/bun#4253 fallback) — so the probe is portable. Why the shell-out had to go, beyond the cosmetic conhost flash the watchdog blinked into the foreground every 60s (#1952): a Bun.spawnSync that hits its timeout still RETURNS with partial stdout, so the `.includes()` PID match answered "dead" for LIVE processes under load — the false-negative half of the #2414/#2295 leak chain. Signal 0 spawns nothing, cannot time out, and is ~5 orders of magnitude faster (measurements in #2414). EPERM still reports alive (process exists, we just can't signal it). Layered on the post-#2414-absorb shape: test 3 in process-liveness-windows.test.ts now asserts the probe is subprocess-free on ANY platform (win32 exemption dropped), test 4's static tripwire loses its error-handling.ts exemption (a `tasklist … PID eq` existence probe anywhere in src/ now fails CI), and windows-spawn-hide.test.ts drops its tasklist-in-error-handling needle (nothing spawns, which is stronger than hiding the window). Tests: process-liveness-windows + windows-spawn-hide + error-handling — 17 pass, 0 fail. Fixes #1952. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): windowsHide sweep — flag every residual child_process site + full-census tripwire (#2160, #2415) Add windowsHide:true at every remaining direct child_process call in browse/src that could flash a console window on Windows: - project-slug.ts (execSync gstack-slug) - browser-skills.ts (cp.spawnSync git rev-parse) - security-sidecar-client.ts (spawn — the LONG-LIVED Node sidecar, whose missing flag parked a console window on the taskbar for the daemon's whole lifetime) - find-security-sidecar.ts (execFileSync node --version) - meta-commands.ts (execSync git rev-parse in inbox + the osascript activate call) - browse-client.ts (cp.spawnSync git rev-parse) - file-permissions.ts (execFileSync whoami.exe — Windows-only, ran bare) - cli.ts (nodeSpawn osascript) windows-spawn-hide.test.ts gains a SWEEP test on top of the existing needles: it censuses EVERY child_process binding in src/ (static imports incl. aliases, `await import()` / require destructures, and `import * as cp` namespaces — 15 call sites across 10 files today) and fails CI on any call without windowsHide within its options window. Exemptions carry reasons — the one today is domain-skill-commands' interactive $EDITOR spawn (stdio:'inherit'; CREATE_NO_WINDOW would detach a console editor into an invisible console). Tests: windows-spawn-hide 5 pass; file-permissions 19 pass; browse-client 28 pass; browser-skill-commands 29 pass (81/81 combined). Fixes the app-side half of #2160; closes out #2415's residuals. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): fail-fast busy-daemon semantics — never auto-kill an alive pid, add --force-restart (#2219) The CLI killed live-but-busy daemons: a heavy dev-mode page (cold-compiling Next.js route, timed-out navigation still churning) kept the daemon from answering /health longer than the old ~1s probe window (3 × 250ms), so the connection-error path declared it dead, SIGTERMed a healthy process, and every kill lost the session's tabs, cookies, and logins (reproduced 4/4 in the #2219 report). New contract (decision 9 / F10): - probeHealthWithBackoff is budget-based: ~8s total (HEALTH_PROBE_TOTAL_BUDGET_MS), 500ms intervals, each probe self-bounded at 2s — sized to the observed busy windows. - decideDaemonRestart (pure, exported, unit-tested) encodes the IRON RULE: healthy-after-probe → retry the SAME daemon; alive+unhealthy → "daemon busy — retry or --force-restart" + NONZERO exit, daemon untouched; only a DEAD pid (or an explicit --force-restart) reaches kill+restart. - --force-restart global flag (extractGlobalFlags): the one consent path that replaces a live daemon, always announcing the state it costs. - Wired at all three kill sites: sendCommand's connection-error branch, ensureServer's stale-state path (which previously killServer'd any alive pid whose single 2s health probe missed), and connect — which used to "Kill ANY existing server" and now refuses to replace a healthy daemon without 'browse disconnect' or --force-restart. pair-agent's internal headed switch passes --force-restart explicitly (the mode switch is that command's stated purpose), preserving its behavior. E5 IRON RULE regression tests (busy-daemon-iron-rule.test.ts, real spawned CLI + fake daemons + live sleep-pid stand-ins per the busy-daemon-recovery.test.ts pattern): healthy daemon SURVIVES connect (refused with guidance, pid alive, state file untouched); wedged-alive daemon + plain command → busy report, nonzero exit, pid alive; wedged daemon + --force-restart IS killed and a real replacement daemon serves the command. Plus pure-function coverage of all four decision outcomes and the ~8s budget pin. Tests: busy-daemon-iron-rule 8 pass (16.7s, includes a real daemon lifecycle); busy-daemon-recovery + proxy-config + daemon-mismatch-refuse + cli-lock + cli-start-final-healthcheck + cli-setsid-daemonize 39 pass. Fixes #2219. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): `stop` on a dead daemon is success — never boots a daemon to stop it (#2254) Two changes, one contract: - Pre-server short-circuit: `browse stop` is handled BEFORE ensureServer(). No daemon state → "nothing to stop", exit 0. Stale state (dead pid AND dead port) → clean the state file, exit 0. The old flow routed stop through ensureServer(), which started a fresh daemon + Chromium (multi-second boot, resource churn) purely so it could be told to shut down — or crashed on the stale state. - Reconnect branch: a connection error while sending `stop` where the pid turns out dead (daemon died mid-flight, between the short-circuit check and the send) is treated as SUCCESS — the desired end state (no daemon) already holds — instead of the crash-restart path. Integration tests (stop-dead-daemon.test.ts, real spawned CLI + scratch BROWSE_STATE_FILE): stop with no state exits 0 and spawns nothing (a spawned daemon would have written the state file); stop with a stale state file (dead pid + verified-closed port) exits 0, cleans the state, and spawns nothing. Tests: stop-dead-daemon 2 pass; busy-daemon-iron-rule 8 pass; busy-daemon-recovery 1 pass (11/11 combined). Fixes #2254. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(upgrade): /gstack-upgrade stops a stale daemon — deferring to a busy one (#2551) A browse daemon started before an upgrade keeps serving the OLD binary's code after `git reset --hard` + `./setup` — the running process holds the old executable, so users on the "new" version kept getting pre-upgrade behavior (and config-mismatch refusals against the new CLI) until they happened to stop it by hand. New unconditional Step 4.8 in gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md.tmpl (+ regen, same commit): compare the running daemon's recorded binaryVersion (the readVersionHash git-SHA the server stamps into its state file) against the freshly built browse/dist/.version. - Stale + responsive → `browse stop` (graceful), telling the user old→new hash; the next command boots a daemon on the new binary. - Stale + BUSY → DEFER (decision 10): never kill a busy daemon during upgrade. Print the old→new hash and the escape hatch — `browse stop` when it finishes, or `browse --force-restart stop` now. - Dead pid / matching hash / no state → silent no-op. Tests: skill-validation + gen-skill-docs 731 pass after regen. Fixes #2551. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): terminal-agent allocates from the fixed port scan range, not port:0 (#2314) The terminal-agent bound `Bun.serve({ port: 0 })` and kept that OS-assigned port for its whole (weeks-long) lifetime. `port: 0` draws from the OS EPHEMERAL range (49152-65535 on macOS) — the exact pool every short-lived `app.listen(0)` test server draws from — so the agent squatted ports that test suites expected to receive and silently absorbed their traffic as phantom 404s (two squatting daemons verified in the report). Fix per decision 8: extract the main server's port allocation into browse/src/port-allocator.ts (checkPortAvailable / isPortAvailable / findAvailablePort + the 10000-60000 range constants and the actionable sandbox-vs-occupied error formatters, all verbatim from server.ts) and make BOTH long-lived listeners use it — server.ts's findPort is now a thin findAvailablePort(BROWSE_PORT) wrapper, and terminal-agent's buildServer takes a pre-allocated port from the same range. No terminal-port consumer carries a range assumption (they read the port file), verified by grep. Tests: terminal-agent-port-range (new — allocator stays inside 10000-60000 and below the 49152 ephemeral floor, explicit-port honored, occupied-explicit throws, static tripwires pin no-port:0 in terminal-agent.ts and the shared wrapper in server.ts) + findport + terminal-agent-integration/session-routing/detach-reattach + dual-listener: 67 pass, 0 fail. Fixes #2314. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): capture daemon stdout/stderr to browse-daemon.log + Windows polyfill spawn fixes (re-derived from #2461) The detached daemon's stdout/stderr were wired to 'ignore' on every platform, so every console.error('[browse] FATAL: ...') from a Chromium crash, uncaughtException, or unhandledRejection was discarded at the OS level — a crash-and-respawn looked identical to every other dropped session, with nothing on disk recording why. Both spawn paths now redirect to <stateDir>/browse-daemon.log (append mode, accumulates across respawns): the Unix path via an fd from openDaemonLogSink(), the Windows path by opening the fd INSIDE the node -e launcher string (an fd opened in cli.ts would not cross the spawn boundary). Unwritable state dir falls back to 'ignore' rather than failing the launch. Capturing daemon output is what surfaced the PR's second fix, still valid on current main: bun-polyfill.cjs's Bun.spawn/spawnSync called Node's child_process with a bare command name, which Windows can't resolve without PATHEXT lookup ("spawn bun ENOENT" from the terminal-agent respawn path). Routed through cross-spawn on win32 (now a direct dependency; already in the tree transitively via @modelcontextprotocol/sdk) — the PR verified empirically that shell:true does NOT neutralize cmd.exe metacharacters reachable via `$B skill run` arg passthrough, and that Node refuses .cmd spawns without a shell (CVE-2024-27980), so cross-spawn's combined PATHEXT resolution + argument escaping is the only correct shape. The PR's third fix (resolveDisconnectCause throwing "browser?.process is not a function") already landed on main via the #2085 typeof guard — not re-applied. F6 log hygiene (daemon-log-hygiene.test.ts): needle tests pin the log wiring on both spawn paths (and that stdio 'ignore','ignore','ignore' never returns), that bun-polyfill stays on cross-spawn with no shell:true, that NO console.* call in src/ passes a token value (interpolated or bare arg), and that the page-content carrier modules (tab-session, buffers, content-security, activity) stay console-free — so neither AUTH_TOKEN nor unsanitized page-derived strings can reach browse-daemon.log. Tests: daemon-log-hygiene + bun-polyfill + windows-spawn-hide + cli-setsid-daemonize 21 pass; stop-dead-daemon + busy-daemon-iron-rule (exercises a REAL daemon boot through the new log-fd wiring) 10 pass.

A cold spawn takes over the 2s timeout in resolveGbrainBin (warm runs are ~700ms), so the probe times out, localEngineStatus classifies the engine as "no-cli", and the 60s status cache then serves that false negative to every skill preamble and sync run. /sync-gbrain skips the memory stage with "gbrain CLI not on PATH" even though the CLI works. Give the shim 10s of headroom, gated on NEEDS_SHELL_ON_WINDOWS so POSIX keeps the cheap 2s probe. Applies to both resolveGbrainBin and readGbrainVersion. Observed on Windows 11, bun 1.3.14, gbrain 0.42.59.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): remove the dead security shield + unfed /health.security (re-derived from #2557) The sidebar's SEC shield has been dead UI since the PTY terminal rewrite: nothing set its data-status, nothing unhid it, and the /health.security field behind it read getStatus() off ~/.gstack/security/session-state.json — a file whose ONLY writer (sidebar-agent.ts) was deleted with the chat path. /health therefore reported a permanent 'inactive', or a stale FALSE-GREEN 'protected' wherever an old state file survived on disk (a single unit-test run was enough to plant one). A green shield sourced from leftover state reads as "no threats detected" when the real state is "not measured" — the same fail-open class as #2026. Removed (dead surfaces only): the shield markup/CSS and the stale sidepanel.js comment; the /health security field and server.ts's getStatus import; getStatus / SecurityStatus / StatusDetail / SessionState / read+writeSessionState (and security.ts's dead child_process import); the session-state + getStatus unit tests — including the round-trip test that wrote real fixture data into ~/.gstack and left /health green forever. (The PR's security-sidepanel-dom.test.ts deletion already happened on main via #2230; its resolveDisconnectCause guard landed via the #2085 typeof fix. Neither re-applied.) Kept, per ENG-OV9 — security.ts has LIVE consumers: the pure combiner (combineVerdict + THRESHOLDS), canary utilities, and extractDomain stay; server.ts's /pty-inject-scan L4 path (isSidecarAvailable + scanWithSidecar) is untouched. browse/test/server-security-surface.test.ts pins BOTH directions: the dead surface stays dead (no /health security field, no getStatus import, no reader of the security session-state file, shield markup gone) and the live half stays live (sidecar wiring in server.ts, combiner/canary exports in security.ts, /health carries no token — the v1.63 regression wall). A future re-feed from LIVE signals must update that test deliberately rather than resurrect the state-file path. F13 (same commit): CLAUDE.md's Sidebar security stack section, ARCHITECTURE.md's prompt-injection Visibility + critical-constraint paragraphs, and BROWSER.md's security section now describe the removed surfaces as history, not live features. Net -166 lines.

It flaked `$B skill test` (bun test writes its banner to stdout and the pass/fail summary to stderr, so a dropped stderr silently degraded the result to just the banner) and would blank a skill's JSON result on `$B skill run` while still reporting success. New runToFiles() points the child's stdout/stderr at temp files via Bun.file() (never raw fds — closing self-opened fds around a spawn tripped Bun's fd bookkeeping into a stray epoll_ctl EBADF), awaits exit, then reads the files: the kernel has flushed everything by child exit, so the post-exit read is complete, and chatty children can't stall on a full pipe buffer. Both handleTest and spawnSkill route through it (timeout + capped read preserved via timeoutMs/maxStdoutBytes). Bun.spawnSync would also capture reliably but would deadlock: a spawned skill calls back into this same daemon on GSTACK_PORT. The `tests passed for "<name>"` fallback is gone — a passing bun test always prints a summary, so exit 0 with no output means the run was NOT captured, and handleTest now throws instead of fabricating success. The E2E assertion checks both stream halves (banner + summary + "Ran N tests") instead of the loose alternation whose `tests passed` branch matched the synthetic fallback vacuously. A static tripwire pins the structure: runToFiles owns the module's ONLY Bun.spawn, and no site reads child output via stdout:'pipe' / new Response(proc.stdout) / getReader().

Both sites now pass windowsHide: true via patches/playwright-core@1.62.1.patch (generated with `bun patch` / `bun patch --commit`). Coherence verified end-to-end: rm -rf node_modules && bun install applies the patch cleanly (both sites present in the reinstalled tree), and a real chromium.launch() through the patched bundle works. browse/test/playwright-core-patch.test.ts pins the three-legged invariant statically — package.json's patchedDependencies key is VERSION-KEYED against the installed playwright-core, the patch file exists and carries both sites, bun.lock records the patch, and the installed bundle actually has it applied — so a future playwright bump that forgets to re-target the patch fails CI with the exact key to regenerate (revert pairing: dropping the c25 bump requires dropping this patch too).

The probe now iterates CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md. gstack-team-init's required-mode enforcement (the CLAUDE.md verification snippet and the generated .claude/hooks/check-gstack.sh) hardcoded ~/.claude/skills/gstack, false-blocking installs living at any other host's global root or the migrated ~/.gstack/repos/gstack location. Both sites now resolve the install root: GSTACK_ROOT env first, then every registered host's globalRoot, then the migrated repo path. Install instructions keep pointing at the canonical Claude location. test/routing-probe.test.ts pins both: rendered-preamble assertions plus a live execution of the extracted probe block (AGENTS.md-only repo => yes), and a drift test that requires every hosts-registry globalRoot to appear in team-init's probe list.

All three now use xargs -r ls -t, mirroring the shape the sibling bin/gstack-codex-session-import fix (#2482) landed with: -r pins the BSD skip-on-empty behavior on GNU too, and BSD xargs accepts -r as a no-op. test/empty-find-fallthrough.test.ts pins it four ways: no bare xargs ls -t in scripts/ or bin/, both rendered Context Recovery sites guarded, a live execution proving an empty checkpoints dir yields no checkpoint (not a decoy cwd file), and a rendered-SKILL.md sweep.

Every gstack codex invocation now passes -c 'web_search="cached"' instead. The flag previously lived inline at 19 raw sites. Per ENG-OV11a the 10 template-inline sites (autoplan/SKILL.md.tmpl x4, codex/SKILL.md.tmpl x6) convert to a shared {{CODEX_WEB_SEARCH_FLAG}} token first, so ONE resolver constant (CODEX_WEB_SEARCH_FLAG in scripts/resolvers/constants.ts) now covers all sites: review.ts x5, design.ts x3, the token resolver in utility.ts, and the tool-map helper comment. codex/SKILL.md.tmpl's web-search prose guarantee is corrected: the -c form explicitly overrides a top-level web_search config (the legacy flag yielded to it), and native codex review disables web search regardless of configuration, so the flag is a no-op on the default Review path. test/codex-web-search-flag.test.ts is the safety net: repo-wide grep tripwires assert NO rendered SKILL.md/section/golden and NO source file carries the deprecated spelling, and that the token resolves in rendered output.

The probe now uses ${BRANCH:-unknown}, the canonical value the gstack-slug eval on the block's first line already sets. review.ts's plan content-search BRANCH gains the missing tr -cd half so it matches the same canonical pipeline. Full audit of the 5 raw $_BRANCH interpolation sites in scripts/resolvers/ (E3): generate-context-recovery.ts:16 (reviews.jsonl path) -> canonical BRANCH; :19/:21 (timeline.jsonl content greps) KEEP raw $_BRANCH because the timeline writer (preamble's gstack-timeline-log call) stores the raw branch in the "branch" field — slugging the reader would break that pairing; generate-preamble-bash.ts:29 (display echo) and :97 (timeline data write) keep raw by design. The *-$BRANCH-design-*.md family (review.ts:313 + 3 plan-review templates) is a consistent tr '/' '-' writer/reader pair and is deliberately untouched. test/branch-slug-hygiene.test.ts pins the discipline: a rendered-output sweep forbids raw $_BRANCH adjacent to a path separator or as a filename prefix in ANY generated SKILL.md/section, and a live round-trip on a feat/slash branch proves gstack-review-log's write is found by the rendered probe (with the raw-form shape as a negative control).

Convert via cygpath -m on MINGW/MSYS/CYGWIN before deriving SRC_DIR/DIST_DIR. Re-derived from PR #2452, taking only the cygpath build half — the PR's icacls principal-ambiguity half already landed on main (browse/src/file-permissions.ts's SID-form principal). Verified the build bug still exists on current code before absorbing (build-node-server.sh:10 had no conversion). Contributed by @chiragborse1.

CLAUDE.md' shape; #2500 made the probe iterate CLAUDE.md AND AGENTS.md, so it now asserts the for-loop + quoted $_RF shape. - The three Claude-output Codex-path bans tripped on ~/.codex/config.toml, which the shared codexPreflight's model_unusable branch (#2477) now documents in rendered output. That path is the Codex CLI's own config file — the same user-facing class as the already-exempt ~/.codex/sessions/ — so it is scrubbed before the host-path ban, with the reasoning recorded next to the existing exemptions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sync-gbrain): dream pack-capability WARN anchors to the graph phase Fixes #2341. classifyDreamOutcome matched the bare phrase "does not declare this phase", but gbrain's only emitters are the CONTENT phases (extract_atoms, synthesize_concepts) — which the default base packs legitimately skip while resolve_symbol_edges still runs. Every base-pack brain therefore got the pack-capability WARN with its wrong, costly remediation ("switch schema packs"), masking real graph problems. The match now anchors to the graph phase (resolve_symbol_edges/extract_code_symbols); a base-pack run with a built graph is clean, and a resolved-0 run gets the honest 0-edge diagnosis. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): install office-hours into the external-host runtime roots Fixes #2449. plan-eng-review's inline office-hours step reads $GSTACK_ROOT/office-hours/SKILL.md, but the codex/factory/opencode runtime roots never installed it — the documented path pointed at nothing on every external-host install (Codex on Windows was the reported repro). Each runtime-root creator now links its host-rendered gstack-office-hours SKILL.md at office-hours/SKILL.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gbrain-install): name the real fix when an npm-installed bun breaks the shim Fixes #2487. `npm i -g bun` puts POSIX/cmd/ps1 shims on %PATH% but never bun.exe — and the gbrain.exe shim that `bun link` generates resolves bun.exe specifically, so link succeeds and every gbrain call dies with bun's misleading "bun is not installed in %PATH%" (which suggests installing a second parallel bun). The D19 validation failure paths now detect the condition on Windows and print the actual remediation: bun's own process.execPath IS the hidden bun.exe — add its directory to PATH. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(ios-qa): document the bridge compatibility preflight and non-SwiftPM fallback Re-derived from PR #2581 under the generated-file screening rule (template hunk taken; SKILL.md regenerated). Prevents the agent from inventing project wiring on apps the bridge doesn't support (ObservableObject-style or non-SwiftPM apps): the preflight now names the compatibility check and the manual fallback path.

The override forces every resolution to ^0.6.0.

Removing the dependency removes the surface: the basic-ftp override and test/basic-ftp-security-pin.test.ts retire with it (the lockfile resolves zero basic-ftp copies now). transformers ^4.2.0, marked ^18.0.9, socks ^2.8.9 land per the dependabot group, gated on the ONNX sidecar load+classify smoke passing with the bumped transformers (28/28 sidecar+classifier+security tests green post-bump).

(1) The three T6 tripwires (branch-slug, codex-flag, empty-find) enumerated the whole tree including the workspace-local .claude/ install, which is not generated output and can carry dangling symlinks from unrelated sessions — one ENOENT there failed all three. They now scan repo sources only. (2) browse/test/cdp-e2e.test.ts mutated process.env.GSTACK_HOME at module scope without restore; in one-process shard runs that leaks into every later test file — observed baking cdp-e2e's temp render path into artifacts that outlived it (53 dangling SKILL.md symlinks in a workspace install). The original value is now restored in afterAll. The exact test that performed the polluted relink remains unattributed; both known leak vectors are closed and the workspace was repaired via an explicit gstack-relink. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): honest budget for the suite's one headed persistent-context launch The launchHeaded/handoff parity test cold-launches a HEADED Chromium — 8-25s on macOS, worse on the first launch of a freshly downloaded bundle (XProtect scans it, the #2554 class) and under shard concurrency. bun's 5s default made it the suite's most reliable false negative: it timed out identically on the pre-wave baseline run of pristine main. 45s budget; passes 15/15. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): assemble redact fixtures at runtime — the guard caught its own wave The pre-push redact guard BLOCKED this branch's first push: the wave's new scan-range tests carried live-FORMAT fake credentials as literals (3 AWS key shapes + a password-bearing DB URL), and the guard scans pushed diff bytes. Same dogfood moment as the v1.64 wave, same rule: assemble the fixture at runtime so the diff never carries a credential shape, never bypass the guard. Runtime strings stay live-format for the hook under test. The guard works. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): sync ios-qa fixture mirrors with the #2585 DEBUG-guard templates The #2585 absorb updated DebugBridgeTouch.m.template and Package.swift.template but not their FixtureApp mirrors, failing the template↔fixture parity gate. DebugBridgeTouch.m syncs byte-for-byte; the fixture Package.swift takes only the template's new cSettings DEBUG define on the Touch target (the fixture's own testTarget is fixture-only content the parity normalization deliberately ignores — a naive full copy breaks the XCTest invariant). 23/23 including the real swift build. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(slug): env-override runs never persist to the cwd cache; cache is GSTACK_HOME-aware Found while closing the wave's eval gate: a test exporting GSTACK_PROJECT_SLUG from the repo root persisted the override into the cwd slug cache, silently rebinding the ENTIRE repo's session state (evals, decisions, timelines) to the test's slug for every later env-less run. The escape hatch is per-invocation by contract — it no longer writes the cache. The cache dir also hardcoded $HOME while lib/bin-context.ts's native port (#2561) reads it GSTACK_HOME-aware, so temp-home test runs littered the real ~/.gstack (observed: 2,528 stale temp-cwd entries, swept). Writer and reader now key the same GSTACK_HOME-aware cache; regression tests pin both behaviors. Also raises the cso --diff eval budget (240s/25t → 360s/40t): transcript-verified, the wave's legitimately-grown audit session completes the report and dies in closing telemetry at ~215s under the old budget; the full-audit sibling already runs at 300s. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): pin GSTACK_HOME in the slug walk-up cache tests The cache dir became GSTACK_HOME-aware; these tests seed and assert cache files under a temp HOME but spread the ambient env, so a sibling test leaking process.env.GSTACK_HOME in a shared-process shard pointed the bin at a different cache than the one under assertion (AC-2/AC-6 failed in shard context, passed solo). The env now pins GSTACK_HOME to the temp home — verified identical results with and without a simulated ambient leak. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): the cache-hygiene test strips ambient GSTACK_PROJECT_SLUG Its env-less contract must be env-less: any ambient override leaking into a shared-process shard flips the run into override mode, which correctly skips the cache write the test asserts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): ratchet ship's skeleton cap for the v1.66.1 merge union Merging main's v1.66.1.0 (evidence-ledger prose in ship's template) on top of the wave's growth lands ship at 90,333 bytes, 333 over its cap. Re-measured per the ratchet protocol: cap 90,800. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(brain-sync): throttle + bound the detector push; empty-queue fast path Review-army findings on the #2549 detector. (1) The preamble runs --once at every skill boundary, so an unthrottled retry paid a full network push attempt per boundary in exactly the steady states it targets (offline, broken auth) — a captive-portal push can block 30-75s against the header's "<1s when idle" promise. Attempts now stamp .brain-last-push-attempt and retry at most every 10 minutes; the push never prompts (GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0) and bounds stalled transfers via git's low-speed limits (portable — stock macOS has no timeout binary). (2) Author-scoped: only gstack-brain-sync's own commits retry; a user's manual commit in ~/.gstack rides along on real drains as before, never auto-published by the detector. (3) Empty-queue fast path exits before the compute/rewrite python spawns — the steady state is now cheaper than the pre-wave truncation code. (4) The queue rewrite warns on failure instead of silently letting the status claim a drain that didn't happen, counts held unparseable lines, and collapses duplicate lines on rewrite. Throttle + delivery matrix cases added (37/37). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(version-bump): JSON version-paths get the npm translation; honest recovery messages Review-army findings. A repo whose package.json carries the legacy 4-digit mirror and pins it via .gstack/version-path would get "1.67.0.1" written into a manifest npm rejects forever, with no drift state to catch it (a JSON source is self-consistent by construction) — the JSON branch now writes the npm-valid translation, warns when translation occurred, and surfaces the requested form. Lockfile-failure messages now match reality per failure point: classify never reads lockfiles, so "re-run and repair" was a false promise when package.json was written and only the lockfile threw. Both malformed-version messages read MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[.MICRO], matching the 3-digit contract this wave ships. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(extension): remove the orphaned security-banner block; repair two dead CSS tokens Design-review findings. The 197-line .security-banner component (incl. its keyframes) had no producer — no JS has created the element since the chat-path rip, the same dead-hidden-security-UI class as the #2557 shield this wave removed; a tombstone comment points at git history if the banner UX returns. Two pre-existing token bugs in the mem-toast styles: --zinc-700 was never defined so the button hover computed to transparent (now carries a fallback), and --font-sans doesn't exist (now --font-system, which :root defines). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(brain-sync): detector pushes only when ALL unpushed commits are its own; lock released on every exit The unpushed-commit detector's author check was existential: any bot-authored commit in origin/<branch>..HEAD armed a push of HEAD, silently publishing interleaved user-authored commits in ~/.gstack. Now the gate requires the author-scoped count to equal the total unpushed count — one user commit disables the autonomous retry entirely (user commits still ride along when a real drain pushes). Detached HEAD is excluded (origin/HEAD usually resolves, making the retry a 10-minutely doomed push). The lock-release trap now installs immediately after lock acquisition instead of after the empty-queue fast path — the steady state at every skill boundary leaked the lock dir and relied on stale-PID detection, which PID reuse defeats. An INT during the detector's network push is covered too. Matrix test: interleaved user commit blocks the detector, then a real drain delivers everything. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(version-bump): version-path and package-json-path pins cannot escape the repository .gstack/version-path and .gstack/package-json-path are repo-controlled content. A cloned repo pinning '../../victim.json' — or an in-repo symlink pointing outside — turned a routine bump into an arbitrary file overwrite outside the repository. assertRepoContained rejects absolute paths, lexical .. escapes, and symlink escapes (deepest existing ancestor realpath'd, so a not-yet-created VERSION file is checked through its parent). Lockfiles that are symlinks resolving outside the repo are skipped with a warning instead of written through. Six containment tests including the not-over-broad control (subdirectory pins keep working). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): port allocator range actually stays below the ephemeral floor; terminal-agent retries a raced bind RANDOM_PORT_MAX was 60000 while the module header documents 49152-65535 as the pool to avoid — ~22% of allocations landed back inside it, preserving the phantom-404 squatting class for both the daemon and the weeks-lived terminal-agent. The cap is now 49151 and the range test pins the true property (< 49152) instead of the old <= 60000 tautology. terminal-agent boot also re-allocates and retries up to 5 times when Bun.serve throws in the probe-then-bind TOCTOU window — previously a concurrent bind killed the boot with no retry via main().catch → exit 1. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(codex-probe): bash-native watchdog when no timeout binary exists; negative-cache the deterministic model 400 Stock macOS ships neither coreutils gtimeout nor timeout(1); the wrapper's fallback ran the command unwrapped, so a hung codex exec blocked the probe and the calling workflow indefinitely. The fallback now backgrounds the command, TERMs it at the deadline, and mirrors timeout(1)'s exit-124 contract — with the watchdog's stdout detached so an early finish never blocks a caller's $(...) capture on the orphaned sleep. MODEL_UNUSABLE is now negative-cached for 15 minutes (same exit-1 + hints from cache). The deterministic 400 is config-driven, so re-probing every preflight charged the affected user a 30s round trip plus real tokens per review section, forever. Editing config.toml — the fix — changes the cache signature and re-probes immediately; MODEL_PROBE_INCONCLUSIVE stays uncached. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): xprotect heal resolves the install root via os.homedir and keeps guidance on a failed retry With HOME unset, the global-install candidate became the RELATIVE path .claude/skills/gstack under the daemon's cwd — often an untrusted repo being QA'd, whose planted node_modules would then be where the heal runs the playwright install (repo-controlled code execution). os.homedir() plus an absolute-or-skip guard closes the class. launchWithXProtectHeal also wraps the post-heal retry: a second classified failure previously propagated raw, dropping the manual-remediation guidance exactly when the automatic path had just proven insufficient. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(make-pdf): --strict and --confidential join BOOLEAN_FLAGS; the guard test derives the set from source Both flags are read as '=== true' booleans but were missing from BOOLEAN_FLAGS, so 'generate --strict essay.md' still ate essay.md as the flag's value — the exact #2514 failure the set exists to prevent. The completeness guard hardcoded six names and could not catch it; it now derives every boolean read from cli.ts itself (direct reads plus booleanFlag pairs), so the next boolean flag fails the suite until it joins the set.

The gate now requires "gstack" as an anchored path segment (gstack/*|*/gstack/*, same pattern as shape 1) AND the dir name in gstack's skill inventory (parity with shape 3); anything else is listed to stderr, never deleted. - The new Cursor removals (~/.cursor/skills/gstack* and repo-local .cursor/skills/gstack*) rm -rf'd any glob match with no provenance check, so a hand-written ~/.cursor/skills/gstack-fork-notes was swept. Real dirs now require the AUTO-GENERATED banner in SKILL.md; non-matching dirs are kept and listed. Legacy codex/factory/kiro globs are untouched (tracked in TODOS as a follow-up). - The _INVENTORY seed list hardcodes alias names created by setup's _install_alias_skill_md; both sites now carry mirrored keep-in-sync comments so a renamed alias can't silently strand its dir. The skipped-entry report moves to the end of the run so cursor skips are listed alongside the Claude ones. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(redact): env.kv stops flagging cacheKey-style names; prepush exclusion scoped to the push remote Two calibration/coverage fixes in the redaction guard: - env.kv's zero-or-more-prefix regex fired on ANY identifier ending in a credential suffix, so ordinary code (cacheKey:, sortKey:, partitionKey:, hotkey:, even monkey:) with an 8+-char entropic value hit a MEDIUM confirm prompt — a gate that cries wolf gets ignored. A name now only counts when its shape is credential-semantic: suffix separated by _/-/. (api_key, x-access-key, AUTH.TOKEN), a bare suffix (key:, token:), ALL-CAPS env style (APIKEY=, MY_APIKEY=), or a camel compound with a credential prefix (apiKey, authToken, clientSecret). The value stays capture group 1, so the shape check lives in validate (isCredentialShapedEnvName), not the regex. - gstack-redact-prepush's narrowing excluded commits reachable from ANY remote (`--not --remotes`), so a secret that had only ever reached a private/local-path remote was never scanned when later pushed to a PUBLIC remote. The exclusion is now scoped to the push target (`--remotes=<name>/*`) via the remote name git hands pre-push as $1 (the installed wrapper already forwards "$@"); stdin/CLI invocations and URL pushes without a configured name fall back to the historical all-remotes behavior. #2592's catch-up-merge fix is unaffected: upstream commits come from the same remote being pushed to. New coverage: env.kv negative controls (cacheKey/sortKey/partitionKey/ hotkey/monkey/idempotencyKey) + positive controls for all four name shapes; end-to-end hook tests proving a second-remote secret blocks a push to origin while origin-published catch-up content still doesn't, plus both fallbacks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): honest probe budget, bounded daemon log, single refusal source, liveness + reinstall coverage Five hardening items in the browse CLI and its tests: - probeHealthWithBackoff's advertised ~8s budget could really run ~10s: the final 2s probe could start 1ms before the deadline, and every call site had JUST run a failed probe yet the loop re-probed immediately. Iterations now start with the sleep and each probe's timeout clamps to the remaining budget (isServerHealthy takes an injectable timeout). - browse-daemon.log is append-mode across every respawn with no size cap, so a crash-respawn loop fills the disk. The path is now built in one place (daemonLogPath — the Unix fd path and the Windows launcher string had two spellings) and daemon start rotates a >10MB log to browse-daemon.log.1, single generation, matching the repo's 10MB rotation convention. Rotation is exported + injectable and behaviorally unit-tested. - The two "healthy daemon already running" refusal blocks in connect had already drifted (one lost the tabs/cookies/logins explainer) — extracted refuseHeadedOverLiveDaemon as the single source. - process-liveness: pinned the EPERM-means-alive contract (PID 1 on POSIX, PID 4 on Windows — signalable-or-EPERM, both alive). A probe that reads EPERM as dead is the false negative that leaked agents. - runBoundedChromiumReinstall had zero coverage: now exercised end-to-end against a stub bunx on a prepended PATH — exit 0, install-exit-N with stderr tail, the detached group-kill timeout path (child of the child dies too), and spawn-error. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hooks): timeline Stop hook reads a 256KB tail instead of the whole file The Stop hook runs on EVERY Claude Code turn machine-wide and re-read + JSON-parsed the entire timeline each time, scaling to the 10MB size cap (~100-300ms per turn of pure overhead). It now reads only the last 256KB via fstat + positioned read, discarding the first partial line when the window starts mid-file. Semantics: a dangling "started" older than the last 256KB of appends belongs to a session long gone — beyond repair interest. The window can never fabricate a dangling entry ("completed" is always appended AFTER its "started", so any started inside the window has its completion inside the window too), so idempotency holds. The fail-open contract is unchanged: exit 0 always, size cap kept, deadline re-checked before the write. New test: a >256KB timeline where a recent dangling entry still gets repaired while an old out-of-window dangler is left alone; all existing fail-open cases pass unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): Windows runtime-asset copies prune nested gitignored build output _link_skill_runtime_assets' exclusion list filters DIRECT children only, so the Windows cp -R real-copy path swept NESTED gitignored build output into the installed skill dirs — concretely, ios-qa/scripts/gen-accessors-tool/ .build is 252MB per install. The IS_WINDOWS real-copy branch now prunes nested node_modules/.build/dist post-copy (find -prune -exec rm -rf). Scoped to _link_skill_runtime_assets ONLY: the generic _link_or_copy stays untouched because runtime roots (browse/, design/) intentionally copy their dist/ binaries. On Unix the assets are symlinks into the working tree, and the prune is gated on the real-copy shape so it can never delete build output from the repo through a link — both directions pinned in test/setup-windows-rerun-refresh.test.ts with fixture trees. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(upgrade): migrations see the real install dir; stash can no longer resurrect stale renders Two ways the v1.67 render-dirt cleanup was inert in the wired upgrade flow: - Both migration runners invoked `bash "$migration"` without GSTACK_INSTALL_DIR, so migrations that clean the INSTALL (v1.67.0.0.sh defaults to ~/.claude/skills/gstack when unset) silently no-oped for repo-local installs. setup now passes "$SOURCE_GSTACK_DIR" and the /gstack-upgrade Step 4.75 runner passes the detected "$INSTALL_DIR". - /gstack-upgrade Step 4 ran `git stash` BEFORE reset+setup, so the tree was always clean by the time the migration ran, the legacy render dirt landed in stash@{0}, and Step 4's own note then told the user to `git stash pop` — restoring stale generated SKILL.md over the fresh checkout permanently. Step 4 now discards the render footprint (generated SKILL.md and sections/*.md modifications only, the same classification as migrations/v1.67.0.0.sh) BEFORE stashing, so the stash only ever carries real user changes; the stash-pop note says the render dirt was discarded and regenerates. The migration stays for manual git-pull flows. Template change regenerated for all 3 hosts (claude tree checked in; codex/factory trees are gitignored render outputs). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): stop --force-restart kills the live daemon directly instead of booting a fresh one `browse stop --force-restart` on a live-but-busy daemon fell through the stop short-circuit into ensureServer(), whose force-restart path kills the daemon and then STARTS A FRESH ONE (daemon + Chromium, multi-second churn) just so sendCommand('stop') can shut it down again — the #2254 churn in force clothing. gstack-upgrade's Step 4.8 sends users down exactly this path when a stale daemon is busy after an upgrade. The stop short-circuit now handles it: live pid + --force-restart → kill the daemon (tree-kill on Windows, TERM→KILL on POSIX), reap the orphaned Chromium + clear profile locks, remove the state file, exit 0 — no server is ever started. Pinned in stop-dead-daemon.test.ts: a wedged live "daemon" is killed, the state file stays gone (a booted daemon would have rewritten it), and no Starting/Restarting output appears. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hooks): timeline repair counts started vs completed per key instead of set-masking The dangling-event repair kept only the FIRST "started" entry per skill+session key and treated "completed" as a set, so any key where one run completed and another dangles was never repaired — and keys are not unique per run: legacy entries with no session field all share the bare-skill key, and the preamble's "$$-epoch" session ids collide within the same second. One old completion masked every future dangler forever. The hook now counts started vs completed per key and appends completions for the DIFFERENCE. Idempotency holds by construction: the appended completions balance the counts, so the next Stop appends nothing. Pinned with the two-runs-one-dangling case plus a re-run no-op assertion; all existing fail-open cases pass unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): Windows refresh bypass no longer deletes a user's own skill dirs The #2444 IS_WINDOWS refresh bypass (link_codex/factory/opencode/cursor _skill_dirs) rm -rf's the destination before re-copying — and the host skills dirs are SHARED namespaces, so the gstack* glob can land on a user's OWN real directory (e.g. ~/.cursor/skills/gstack-notes). Every ./setup re-run silently deleted it — the ownership guard the comments still claimed (#2142). The sidecar installers had the same shape against a hand-written skill squatting on the canonical .../skills/gstack root, and create_cursor_runtime_root wiped that root unconditionally on every platform. Same provenance model as bin/gstack-uninstall (#2563): - _owned_for_windows_refresh: a real dir is only replaced when its SKILL.md carries the AUTO-GENERATED banner; symlinks and missing targets always pass. Non-matching dirs are kept and listed to stderr. Wired into all four *_skill_dirs loops. - _sidecar_root_user_owned: a root whose SKILL.md exists WITHOUT the banner is the user's — create_agents_sidecar, create_cursor_sidecar, and create_cursor_runtime_root skip it entirely instead of writing into (or wiping) someone else's skill. A root with no SKILL.md stays presumed ours (the documented install location; old/partial installs look like that). Pinned by a static census (every bypass site must carry its gate) plus behavior fixtures: a bannerless user dir survives the Windows re-run while a bannered install still refreshes, and a squatted sidecar root is left untouched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(render): a failed brain-aware render can no longer vanish the installed skill set Both render sites (setup's gbrain step and gstack-config gbrain-refresh) ran `rm -rf` on the LIVE render dir BEFORE invoking gen:skill-docs:user. Installed skills symlink into that dir (relink prefers it), so one transient render failure — bun error, disk full, broken template — left every brain-aware skill's SKILL.md symlink dangling: the whole skill set vanished from Claude Code until a successful re-render. Both sites now render into "$RENDER_DIR.tmp.$$" and swap it in only on SUCCESS via a shared-contract _swap_in_render helper (mv old away, mv tmp in, drop old — links into the live path stay valid because the path never changes). The failure branch removes only the tmp dir and says so: the previous render, and every link into it, stays fully intact. The deliberate wipe on the gbrain-GONE path (stale render shadowing canonical files) is unchanged. Pinned in test/user-render-out-dir-install.test.ts: static shape (render targets the TMP dir, never the live dir), _swap_in_render driven behaviorally from BOTH files, and an end-to-end failure-branch fixture proving a pre-existing render plus an installed symlink survive a failed render. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test+docs: codex probe cache invalidation coverage, make-pdf --no-* structural pin, file the review-batch deferrals - test/codex-model-probe.test.ts: the 1h TTL and the auth.json half of the mtime signature had no coverage — a regression in either would silently serve a stale MODEL_OK after re-login or forever. Added TTL-expiry (backdated cache line re-probes) and auth.json-mtime invalidation cases, mirroring the existing config.toml case. - make-pdf/test/cli-args.test.ts: structural assertion derived from the commands.ts registry — every --no-* flag must be in BOOLEAN_FLAGS, so a new negation flag can't silently re-open #2514 (swallowing the next positional). - TODOS.md: filed five review-batch deferrals under the v1.67 queue with rationale and effort: setup host-function dedup, cmd.exe %VAR% quoting in gbrainInvocation (cross-spawn direction), make-pdf flag registry metadata (derive BOOLEAN_FLAGS), legacy codex/factory/kiro uninstall provenance gating (parity with the cursor gate), and cursor auto-detect breadth (product call). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): package.json version check accepts the decision-11 npm translation The bump wrote the npm-valid 3-digit manifest version for the first time this release; the old assertion demanded byte-equality with the 4-digit VERSION. Accept the translation plus the grandfathered pre-v1.67 mirror, matching gstack-version-bump's own drift contract. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: sync project documentation with the v1.67.0.0 fix wave Port range 10000-49151 + busy-vs-dead daemon semantics + XProtect launch heal + browse-daemon.log in BROWSER.md/ARCHITECTURE.md; #2557 dead security surface (shield, L4b Haiku, DeBERTa ensemble, canary injector) marked removed in README/ARCHITECTURE per CLAUDE.md's do-not-redocument note; runtime-asset installs + alias copies in CONTRIBUTING/CLAUDE.md; manual uninstall fixed for asset-bearing dirs, alias copies, cursor/opencode roots, and the timeline Stop hook; gbrain-refresh out-dir render path; npm-valid package.json version translation documented in CLAUDE.md; patches/ in the project tree; two CHANGELOG accuracy fixes (-272 net lines, upgrade-time quarantine-clear) + release-summary em-dash polish. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(browse): findAvailablePort comment matches the 49151 range cap Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ci-image): the dependency layer carries patches/ — bun install needs the patch files the lock declares bun.lock's patchedDependencies (playwright-core windowsHide) made 'bun install --frozen-lockfile' fail inside the image build: the Dockerfile copied package.json + bun.lock but not patches/. The image-tag hash in all three workflows (ci-image, evals, evals-periodic — kept in lockstep) now includes patches/** so editing a patch rebuilds the layer instead of serving a stale cache. Verified: the exact COPY set (package.json + bun.lock + patches) installs clean in a Linux container; without patches it reproduces the CI failure. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(codex-probe): cache signature uses GNU-first stat with numeric validation On GNU stat, -f means FILESYSTEM mode — the BSD-first form emitted a multi-line filesystem block on Linux, so the cache signature never matched its own cache line and the model-probe cache missed on every read (each preflight re-paid the probe). Same class and same fix as #2195: GNU -c %Y first, BSD -f %m fallback, non-numeric residue coerced to 0. Verified: the probe test file passes 7/7 under real GNU stat in a Linux container (it failed 2/7 on Linux CI before). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): first cross-platform run of the wave's tests — Linux tmp portability + Windows-lane truthfulness Four platform holes from the lanes' first full run over the v1.67 tests: - uninstall neutral-root fallback hardcoded /private/tmp (macOS-only) and ENOENT'd on Linux CI, where the shard TMPDIR is the gstack-containing path that forces the fallback — now realpath'd literal /tmp. - uninstall's kept-and-listed assertion demanded a backslash path on Windows while the bash uninstall prints POSIX paths — now separator-insensitive. - setup-rerun's IS_WINDOWS=0 sub-case and the iron rule's force-restart consent path are Unix-shaped by construction (Git Bash ln -snf copies without Developer Mode; the consent path boots a real replacement daemon the browserless Windows lane cannot host) — gated off win32 with the reasons in place; the Windows-relevant halves still run there. - codex-under-codex-detection drives rendered bash under a hardcoded POSIX PATH, so every case saw empty output on Windows — moved to KNOWN_WINDOWS_INCOMPATIBLE with the run receipt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ci-image): stage patches/ into the narrow build context in all three workflows The image builds from context .github/docker, into which a staging step copies package.json + bun.lock — the previous fix added COPY patches to the Dockerfile but not patches/ to that staging, so buildx failed computing the COPY checksum ('/patches: not found'). All three workflows (ci-image, evals, evals-periodic) stage identically, in lockstep with the shared tag hash. Verified: a build over the exact staged context resolves both COPY layers.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.7	ce5fbfa99f	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).

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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump VERSION to 1.50.0.0 + plan-tune cathedral CHANGELOG Plan-tune cathedral T17. 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.
