Audit every offered option for independent add-ons and keep new verification depth pending until accepted. Preserve already requested coverage and trace plan changes to the actual decision.

Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Assemble DX review artifacts before appending the final report

Keep early DX evidence above decisions, update artifact sections in place, and append the report using the actual current file suffix. Re-read after deleting an existing report before choosing the append anchor.

Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Keep outside plan reviews exclusive and invocation-owned

Follow one preflight-selected backend, terminate failed Codex work before fallback, and allocate extra prompt/output files uniquely. Consume only the current invocation’s completed output.

Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Select periodic completion evaluations for report writer changes

Register the shared review resolver for eight missing consumers and regress selection for all nine completion cases without changing their IDs or tiers.

Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Keep permission ambiguity fixtures on the same normalized target

Use distinct raw spellings of one target in the four negative fixtures so they exercise the normalized duplicate-owner guard after exact current-file disambiguation. Preserve the existing exception, no-input, diagnostic and cleanup assertions.

Match the pinned CLI's soft wraps and clipped headings without granting from incomplete frames. Retire completed file requests, retain mode annotations, and ask section captures for a short final acknowledgement after their full report is saved.

Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Preserve review approvals and validate DX comparison artifacts

Keep independent remedies and approved amendments explicit. Give the synthetic DX review its existing documentation and validate peer comparison as required analysis alongside four native decisions.

Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Make the five-finding CEO fixture's application boundary explicit

Materialize the request adapter and service composition used by the synthetic payment application. Explicitly declare the revised unregistered-event and mail-telemetry assumptions while preserving uncaught handler errors, the original invoice path and all five unresolved findings.

* Keep CEO state-path checks scoped to directory preparation

Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Use checked ports and bounded cleanup in pair-agent tests

Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Preserve queued edit identity and recover clipped Bash permissions

Distinguish separately queued unfinished edits from mutation of one native tool ID. Keep grants bound to an exact owned request and reject reused IDs, ambiguous inputs, and competing owners.

Support the pinned renderer's literal em dash and request a repaint when only the Bash card's top rule is clipped. Grants still require the complete fresh card and an exact native acknowledgment.

Validation: 413 integrated parser/event tests passed; private repaint controls and joint source review passed. Full canonical suite and native periodic rerun remain pending.

Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Keep periodic reviews within their approved contracts and deliverables

Carry exact approvals through engineering review, preserve declared contracts when amending CEO plans, and keep prioritization at the requested decision level. Materialize the revised synthetic SDK reference contract while retaining the five original documentation gaps.

Accept the observed semicolon in the finite DX handoff menu and register the direct source dependencies used by the engineering cases. Regenerate canonical review documents without changing model budgets, retries, count bands, or native completion assertions.

Validation: all-host generation and 275 review, fixture, selection and parity tests passed. Full free-suite and native periodic validation remain pending.

Garry TanandOpenAI Codex 9f81911136 v1.86.0.0 feat: route outside reviews by harness (#2850)
* feat: add a restricted and supervised Claude Code runner

Preserve configured authentication and models while enforcing tool access, strict completion JSON, bounded output and process cleanup. Cover argv, failure handling, session metadata and Windows process containment.

* feat: route outside reviews by harness and migrate wrapper installs

Use Claude Code from Codex and Codex from other supported hosts, with shared invocation rendering, positive gate validation and per-phase provenance. Rename /claude to /claude-code, repair managed shared and copied installations safely, and generate native Kiro skills. Add installed-workflow, failure-injection and live cross-harness regression coverage.

* test: recognize CEO mode labels without terminal spacing

The paid workflow rendered SCOPEEXPANSION at option 4, but its driver required a literal space. Match the leading mode title without cursor-spacing artifacts and ignore adjacent preview text. Preserve missing-target failures and downstream posture assertions.

* test: isolate plan-count fixtures before starting review workflows

Seed the complete test plan in a private git repository before launching Claude, so a bare slash command cannot review the live workspace while a delayed fixture message remains queued. Preserve count thresholds, parsers and budgets. Add initial-context and installed-discovery tests, and retain startup/terminal diagnostics on failed evaluations.

* test: stabilize review fixtures and Claude eval startup

Preserve source boundaries in workflow judge inputs, isolate CEO mode plans, and wait for interactive trust input readiness. Keep startup failure evidence and retain existing models, budgets, and assertions.

Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* test: classify collapsed review modes and isolate seeded findings

Keep review questions out of the setup count when terminal cursor positioning removes spaces. State existing webhook safeguards so the five-finding control measures its seeded defects without accidental extra security and concurrency gaps. Preserve question bands and the paired control.

Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* test: isolate browser daemon state across free shards

Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* test: stabilize native review counting and interactive navigation

Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* chore: prepare v1.82.0.0 release

Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* fix: eliminate browser and process-cleanup test flakes

Pin every CI surface to Bun 1.4.0 to avoid extra-stdio finalizers closing
reused live sockets. Add an isolated GC/listener regression that fails on
Bun 1.3.13, and prevent coordinated rollback to an affected CI runtime.

Check renderer cleanup against the render's own staging directory so
concurrent renders cannot invalidate the assertion. Make the no-pgrep
process-tree walk tolerate disappearing /proc entries, and synchronize
its test fixture through child readiness and pipe EOF instead of sleeps.

Validation: 9,157 passed, 31 skipped, zero failures across 556 files with
retries disabled. Build, all-host generation freshness, and skill checks
passed. All three races have failing-before/passing-after regressions.

reviewers and saved artifacts. Reuse approved remedies while preserving
individual finding decisions.

Drive interactive evals from the current terminal viewport, bind native
questions across scrolling, and require complete native report evidence.
Cover captured stale menus, permission lifecycles, setup classification,
and disabled-review tool availability with deterministic regressions.

Advance release metadata and the upgrade migration to the unclaimed
1.83.0.0 slot.

* fix: drive native review questions and preserve current plans

Use the native single-choice keyboard protocol and current terminal viewport,
with per-question navigation inside packets and completed-call coverage.
Keep permissions, multi-select menus, and Submit controls distinct.

Send Autoplan reviewers the amended implementation plan, keep its review record
separate, and supply retained application contracts in the chain fixture.
Clarify individual DevEx decisions and complete CEO fix options; use one active
plan destination for the section-loading report.

Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* test: fix Windows CI fixtures and credential scan

Rebase captured JSON values and filesystem evidence using the appropriate
path convention. Compile native fake CLIs on Windows and synchronize pipe
holder readiness, with cleanup retained when assertions fail.

Assemble synthetic credential fixtures at runtime so the added-line scan
keeps enforcing the same gate without flagging its own rejection controls.

Discover generated skills directly for the empty-find regression check,
avoiding a recursive scan through saved evaluation artifacts and dependencies.

* fix: preserve source renders on Windows

Compare canonical generator paths using native separators so an output
sidecar pointing at the source cannot overwrite its skill or metadata.
Keep the regression fixture isolated from the real checkout and expose
freshness diagnostics before asserting subprocess status.

Detach Windows drain-test pipe holders from the fake provider's automatic
child cleanup while preserving the enclosing runner job and its assertions.

* fix: clarify outside review fallback and CEO decisions

Render one applicable own-harness fallback path and retain native review,
disabled policy, and missing-coverage semantics. Align report field names
and mode labels, and make the existing per-cut scope approval explicit.

Regenerate skill outputs and keep the workflow judge's model, thresholds,
and retry policy unchanged.

* chore: move release to free version slot (v1.86.0.0)

PR #2852 now claims v1.85.0.0. Align the release metadata and
rename migration so upgrades from that version still receive it.

Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* fix: include engineering review prerequisites and restore branch context

* fix: recognize coverage diagrams and clarify design review instructions

* fix: preserve file identities and join Windows test processes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Three changes:

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

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

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

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

Closes #2742

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

delegation and forbids the hardcoded path from returning.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Receipt: the slow-but-present sibling test fails on a v1.77.0.0 scratch
worktree (classifies no-cli there).

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

Three defects in the codex skill sections:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Receipt: the new test fails on a v1.77.0.0 scratch worktree (served render
keeps 'name: qa').

Fixes #2738

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

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

Fixes #2692

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

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

Fixes #2677

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

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

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

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

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

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

Verification for #2687 itself: the reporter's same-size-rewrite repro run 20
iterations against this tree — 0 misses (the underlying race was fixed by
v1.74's b1485d88 with its own regression test; this wave verifies and closes,
it does not claim that fix). Receipt: the stubbed-touch test fails on a
v1.77.0.0 scratch worktree.

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

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

Wave polish on the #2699 absorption: the hand-built JSONL interpolated the

'## Assistant' (Windows Free Tests red). JSON.stringify the path.

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(browse): chromium reap works off-Linux and on every stale-state path

readPidCmdline fell back to '' on darwin (no /proc), so the identity gate
never matched and reapRecordedChromium was inert on the platform #2709's
GPU-spin reap actually targets — it now falls back to ps -o command=.
readPidStartTime no longer throws when ps is missing (Windows): a launch
must never die to a reap-bookkeeping probe. Three stale-state cleanup
paths (dead-daemon stop, startServer stale cleanup, headed-connect) now
reap the recorded chromium BEFORE unlinking the state file instead of
orphaning it, and the stop-path wait polls (100ms steps, 1s cap) instead
of sleeping a fixed 500ms. Wiring pinned: server-state pid/start-time
write, all five cli.ts reap call sites, headless-only GPU-flag push.

* fix(browse): chained IIFE + second statement no longer misclassified as one expression

isSingleParenOrIifeExpression accepted any tail after the initial group's
close as long as trailing chars looked chain-ish, so
`(async()=>{await 1})().then(x=>x); console.log('done')` classified as a
single expression and the expression wrapper emitted a SyntaxError. The
tail is now consumed as a strict member/call/index/optional-chain walk to
END of input via a shared string/escape-aware findBalancedClose scanner;
anything else (';', operators) demotes to the block wrapper. Negative +
positive tests added.

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

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

challenge-mode initialized turn_completed_count but tested turn_failed via

and turn_failed up front and use plain checks — same semantics, no
module-globals introspection.

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

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

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

A leftover $INSTALL_DIR.bak from a crashed upgrade would make the mv nest

refuses to start and tells the user to inspect/salvage the backup.

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

--timeline-stop-hook=noo silently normalized to yes AND wrote yes to
config — a persisted decision the user never made. Unrecognized values now

the config write. The opt-out log line names the actual decision source

The killed/SIGTERM/ETIMEDOUT discrimination was hand-rolled at three sites

drift; it now lives once in lib/gbrain-exec.ts. GbrainBinProbe is exported
(it's the return type of exported probeGbrainBin) and the cache carries a
rationale comment: caching a timeout for process lifetime is deliberate —
the memo dedupes the ~3 probes of one short-lived preamble process.

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

not-a-disconnect, silence -> disconnect warning, SESSION_ID echo), with
byte-equivalence safety pins on the bash double-quote extraction. The
fence scanner also gains CommonMark opener-length tracking: a 4-backtick

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

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

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

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

Two follow-ups deferred from the approved token-reduction program (CEO review
'NOT in scope' list), filed with full context per TODOS format. The existing
P3 preamble-carve entry gets a status update pointing at the program that
supersedes it.

* fix(test): review findings — Windows path normalization, full totals rebuild, ratchet coverage

Pre-landing review (5 specialists) found one critical: the ratchet test runs
in the curated Windows lane, where path.relative yields backslash skill names
that miss the test/ filter and mismatch every POSIX fixture key. Names are now
normalized once in buildRatchetBill (toPosixName) and the fixture filter is
tightened to test/fixtures/. All eight Bill.totals fields are rebuilt from the
filtered list (no fixture-polluted perInvocation/totalMd numbers for future
consumers). New coverage: Windows-separator normalization pins, a
captureContextBudget round-trip against tree-a (headroom math exact), a
stripFields regression pin (interactive/benefits-from absent from renders,
hooks/gbrain preserved), and the ceilings test no longer double-reports
stale-fixture entries.

* fix(test): adversarial findings — stable root key, symlink-alias dedupe, fixture-shape guard

Adversarial review (Claude subagent) verified the fixture's root-skill key was
the capture machine's checkout dirname: any non-gstack-named clone (every
Conductor worktree) failed the free suite, and the documented re-run-the-capture
recovery baked the local dirname into the committed fixture — silent corruption
through the tool's own protocol. The root skill is now pinned to ROOT_SKILL_KEY
('gstack', its frontmatter name). Symlink aliases are realpath-deduped (census
precedent): connect-chrome no longer gets its own ceiling, so Windows checkouts
that materialize the symlink as a plain file can't fail the stale-ceiling
set-equality test. New guards: fixture-shape validation (a string alwaysOnTotal
can no longer silently disable the ceiling), a mutation pin that the filter
shrinks the always-on ledger vs the raw bill, an alwaysOnTotal violation test
(the branch was load-bearing with only under-budget coverage), and an atomic
temp+rename fixture write. Fixture regenerated: 59 ceilings, alwaysOnTotal 6344.
Deferred with a TODO: anchoring transformFrontmatter's denylist strip to the
frontmatter block (latent, zero live collisions, pre-existing path).

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.69.1.0)

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

* docs: update project documentation for v1.69.1.0

CLAUDE.md: Token ceiling section documents the context-budget ratchet as
the third guard (test file, fixture, new-skill budgeting, capture command).
CONTRIBUTING.md: Tier 1 guard list gains a Context-budget ratchet bullet;
the Adding-a-new-skill checklist gains the budget-capture step.

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

* docs: pin exact guard semantics for the context-budget ratchet in CLAUDE.md

Doc-review finding: "a third enforced ceiling" undercounted the guard
family (skill-size-budget floors and parity ratios also watch these
ledgers, relatively). Rephrased to match the ratchet test's own header:
absolute ceilings vs relative floors/ratios.

* feat(bin): gstack-skill-start + gstack-skill-end — the preamble runtime, consolidated

Absorbs the ~13KB of bash every tier-2+ SKILL.md inlined twice over (bootstrap
fence + artifacts-sync fence) and the skill-end telemetry/sync fences. Same
KEY: value STATUS-line contract the prose interprets, plus SKILL_START_PROTO
handshake (OV5), SESSION_ID/TEL_START echoes, GSTACK_HOME-normalized state
paths (EOV7), --parent-pid session identity (EOV5: $PPID inside the script is
the ephemeral tool-call shell), OV4 sanitization of passthrough output, and a
receipted daily artifacts pull (_receipted_git, brain-sync class, fail-closed).
Per-line || true error style throughout (F3) — a mid-script failure never drops
later STATUS lines.

* feat(gen): preamble resolvers emit a script invocation fence instead of inline bash

generate-preamble-bash: ~6.3KB fence -> 4-line gstack-skill-start invocation
(quoted-tilde pitfall handled: leading ~ interpolates through $HOME; env-var
hosts keep $GSTACK_BIN) + degraded-mode prose (F1/EOV8: safe defaults, consent
gates deferred-never-lost; OV5: proto rule). generate-brain-sync-block: ~6.8KB
bash -> interpretation prose + the privacy stop-gate (stays inline until
Phase 2's gated emission). generate-completion-status: telemetry fence -> one
gstack-skill-end call with SESSION_ID/TEL_START handoff.

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

* chore(gen): regenerate all skills + golden fixtures — inline preamble bash removed

Mechanical regen after the resolver change: −12,628 lines across 52 renders
(corpus 952K -> 806K render tokens; tier-2 skills −11-13KB each). Golden
per-host ship fixtures refreshed from the fresh claude/codex/factory renders.

* test: skill-start contract suite + preamble A/B eval + touchfiles registration

test/gstack-skill-start.test.ts (11 free tests): STATUS-key contract vs the
prose (F2), per-host fence resolution shapes (E1), proto-first, OV4 marker
sanitization, --parent-pid identity, headless suppression, skill-end duration
math + pending cleanup. test/skill-e2e-preamble-script-ab.test.ts (gate tier,
OV7): inline-bash render (pinned from 29785978) vs script render with the
fence redirected at the worktree bin (EOV2 — hermetic evals otherwise resolve
the operator install and silently exercise degraded mode). 21 touchfiles dep
lists gain the two bin scripts (EOV9) so future script edits select the
preamble evals; selection-count pin updated 23->24.

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

* test: repin ~70 assertions to the script contract — every literal gets a successor

Assertions that pinned inline-bash internals (update-check guard, _SESSIONS
reaping, telemetry start/end blocks, routing probe, repo-strip producer,
first-task gating, EXPLAIN_LEVEL/QUESTION_TUNING echoes, #2499 jq scope
resolution, Issue-8 CONDUCTOR gate) now pin the same invariants in their new
home: bin/gstack-skill-start / bin/gstack-skill-end file content for script
internals, the invocation fence + interpretation prose for render-side
behavior. No assertion deleted without a successor; live-execution tests
(routing probe, brain-sync jq) run against script bytes unchanged.

* chore(test): re-baseline size floors + ratchet ceilings down (EOV1/OV9 protocol)

parity-baseline-v1.69.1.0.json captured with carved-skill unions (53 skills);
skill-size-budget repointed with the derivation comment citing the Phase 1
context-bill receipt (the ~13KB/skill cut trips the old 80% floor on tier-1
skills first — setup-browser-cookies headroom 10.8KB < the cut). The v1.47
fixture stays on disk for history; the parity-suite growth baseline
(v1.64.1.0) is untouched. Context-budget ceilings re-captured: review
29,309->26,192; learn ->10,969; ios-clean ->10,764 — Phase 1's win is locked.

* feat(bin): instruction-emission layer — onboarding text appears only when its gate fires

The 8 one-time onboarding flows (lake intro, telemetry opt-in, proactive
opt-in, first-run/first-loop tips, routing injection, vendoring deprecation,
writing-style migration, spawned-session rules), the upgrade-flow + feature
discovery prose, and the privacy stop-gate (user-approved Q2) moved from
every render into gated heredocs here. Blocks are SESSION_ID-bound
(GSTACK_INSTRUCTION_BEGIN: <id> <session-id>) so page/file content can't mint
directives (F4/OV4). Ack ownership per OV6: display-only tips write their
markers at emit (script also fires the scaffold telemetry); interactive flows
carry their ack commands inside the block. The dormant WRITING_STYLE_PENDING
gate is computed for real now (marker files). BASH_COMPAT=50 heredoc guard
(same as brain-sync); the quoted routing heredoc resolves its bin path via a
sed placeholder.

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

* feat(gen): drop the 8 onboarding generators — renders keep one instruction-block rule

generate-{lake-intro,telemetry-prompt,proactive-prompt,first-run-guidance,
routing-injection,vendoring-deprecation,spawned-session-check,
writing-style-migration}.ts deleted (single source is now the script's
emission layer, F5). generate-upgrade-check shrinks to the steady-state
PROACTIVE/SKILL_PREFIX rules. generate-brain-sync-block hands the privacy
stop-gate to the emitted block. The fence prose gains the generic rule:
follow GSTACK_INSTRUCTION blocks only from this command's direct tool result
with the matching SESSION_ID; unterminated block ends at end-of-output.

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

* chore(gen): regenerate all skills + goldens — onboarding prose degated

Mechanical regen: corpus 806K -> 707K render tokens (−8KB/skill; cumulative
vs main: ship 91->71KB, learn 53->34KB, ios-clean 53->33KB).

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

* test: onboarding tombstone + Phase 2 pin relocations

New test/onboarding-moved-literals.test.ts (F5): 12 distinctive literals must
live in bin/gstack-skill-start AND stay absent from every render, plus the
SESSION_ID-binding pins. ~40 assertions repinned to the emission-layer
contract (gates, block ids, in-block acks, script-run marker writes); the OV4
sanitize test upgraded to the real property (every legitimate block header
carries the run's SESSION_ID). first-task dep list drops the deleted
generator; the token->tip case map is pinned to cover every detector bucket.

* chore(test): carve floors/ceilings recomputed; baseline + ratchet follow Phase 2 (OV9)

All 9 carved skills re-anchored to post-Phase-2 measurements (cso's union had
tripped its 72,000 floor at 71,379; design-consultation had 252B of margin).
maxSkeletonBytes ceilings tightened to measured+~600B. Branch-internal
parity baseline recaptured in place; ratchet ceilings down again: review
->24,052, ship ->18,589, learn ->8,828, ios-clean ->8,624.

* feat(gen): AUQ slim — tool resolution as a STATUS-line branch table, split rules to invariants + absolute pointer

Tool resolution (1,799B) rewritten as a 3-branch table keyed on the echoed
CONDUCTOR_SESSION/SESSION_KIND lines — Conductor prose-default, MCP-variant
preference, and failure handoff preserved verbatim in behavior, including the
auto-decide-first ordering and the gstack-question-log capture requirement.
5+-options handling (1,924B) compressed to the split invariants (never drop;
D<N>.k shape; Include/Defer/Cut/Hold; question_id scheme with the never-ask
refusal) + the full-rule pointer. Both doc pointers now interpolate the
absolute install root (Codex outside-voice #7 convention) instead of the bare
'in the gstack repo'. Failure-fallback, Format, and self-check sections are
byte-identical — all 14 MANDATORY always-loaded pins pass with zero test
edits.

* chore(gen): regenerate all skills + goldens — AUQ slim

Mechanical regen: −1.3KB per tier-2+ skill (ship 69.9KB, learn 32.5KB).

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

* chore(test): baseline + ratchet follow Phase 3 (OV9); OV8 evaluated — shrink floor stays

Branch-internal baseline recaptured; ratchet ceilings down again. OV8's
floor-retirement question, evaluated as planned after Phase 3: the 80% shrink
floor stays — it uniquely catches accidental body deletion in non-carved
skills BETWEEN ratchet recaptures, and the capture command has amortized the
fixture-refresh cost that motivated retiring it.

* feat(review): carve adversarial, plan-completion, and review-army into sections

The three resolver macros ship already carves as siblings now load on demand
for /review too: skeleton 100.2KB -> 55.0KB (-45%), union 93.4KB. Resolvers
stay the single source of truth (sections wrap the macros). Step 0/1, scope
drift, critical pass, confidence calibration, and fix-first stay always-loaded.
Fixtures and pins follow the moved content (codex-hardening wrapped-sites,
review-army E2E fixture builds skeleton+sections with an empty-fixture guard).

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

* feat(codex): carve the three mutually exclusive modes into sections

Review/Challenge/Consult mode bodies (34.7KB where at most one ever runs)
load on demand: skeleton 81.0KB -> 55.2KB, union 1.04x the monolith. The mode
dispatch, filesystem boundary, and a new always-loaded 'Synthesis
recommendation (REQUIRED) — all modes' block stay skeleton-side (the AUQ
per-skill pins pass unchanged); the plan-file report + exit gate render after
the last section pointer per the gateAfterStop pattern.

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

* feat(land-and-deploy): carve first-run validation, readiness gate, and merge/deploy into sections

The once-per-repo dry-run validation, the pre-merge readiness gate, and the
merge + deploy-strategy steps (37.8KB) load on demand: skeleton 91.1KB ->
55.7KB. Step 1.5 keeps its detection bash as the dispatch; the first-run
section's fingerprint-save block gained {{SLUG_EVAL}} so it is self-contained.
Zero content lost (line-coverage checked against HEAD).

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

* feat(ios): demote the four ios skills to preamble-tier 2 (Phase 5)

They never consume the tier-3 sections (repo-mode ownership, search-before-
building) but do fire AskUserQuestion, which tier >=2 provides — verified by
grep before the plan review. -2.2KB per skill. Render assertions pin the
demotion (tier-3 sections absent, AUQ format present).

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

* chore(guards): register wave-1 carves; monolith invariants retire; baselines + ratchet follow

CARVE_GUARDS gains review/codex/land-and-deploy (12 carved skills total);
their MONOLITH_INVARIANTS entries retire (invariants now generate from the
registry, cso precedent). Touchfiles: carve-section-loading covers the three
new carves; the codex + land-and-deploy LLM-judge dep lists widen to their
sections. Regen + goldens + branch-internal baseline + ratchet ceilings
recaptured (review 24,052 -> skeleton-based ceiling; union floors hold).

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

* test(gen-skill-docs): review render pins read the carved union

The review carve's readSkillUnion conversions (same pattern its neighbor
carved-skill pins already use).

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

* feat(autoplan): carve the four review phases + tasks aggregator into sections

Phase bodies (CEO/Design/Eng/DX consensus flows) and the Implementation Tasks
aggregator load on demand; Design and DX stay separate sections because each
is independently conditional on scope. Skeleton 83.7KB -> 58.7KB (-30%
always-loaded); the 6 decision principles, classification, sequencing, and
explicit skip-condition dispatch stay always-loaded. The chain E2E's
phase-complete markers now live only in sections, so its assertions double as
section-read proof (behavioral: external).

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

* feat(spec): carve the post-confirmation gate-and-file tail into one section

Phases 1-4 are the turn-1 conversational spine — carving them would force the
Read on the first user message for zero real savings. The mechanical tail
(4.5/4.5a/4.5b redaction gates + Phase 5 filing + TTHW telemetry) fires only
after draft confirmation: a genuine lazy boundary, kept as ONE section so the
gh-issue-create bash can never load without the fail-closed redaction gate
that precedes it. Skeleton 65.4KB -> 50.7KB; all ~85 phase-structure
invariants migrated location-aware plus a new carve-shape suite (56 tests).

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

* feat(setup-gbrain): carve the branch-exclusive install paths into sections

Brain-init (Paths 1/2/3/4 bodies), engine remediation, transcript gate, and
CLAUDE.md persist load on demand — at most one install route ever runs.
Skeleton 75.3KB -> 57.0KB; the Step 1 detect and Step 2 path dispatch stay
always-loaded. New buildSetupGbrainFixture helper gives the periodic E2Es
extract-don't-copy fixtures with a non-empty guard; the voyage-code-3 gate
counts scan the tmpl union (the third init site lives in engine-remediation).

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

* chore(guards): register wave-2 carves (15 carved skills); autoplan monolith retires; baselines follow

CARVE_GUARDS gains autoplan (behavioral: external via the chain eval), spec,
and setup-gbrain; autoplan's MONOLITH_INVARIANTS entry retires. Touchfiles:
setup-gbrain periodic dep lists gain the section tmpls + fixture helper; the
stale-brain-refs scan covers setup-gbrain/sections. Regen + goldens + branch
baseline + ratchet recaptured.

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

* feat(browse): carve full command list + snapshot flags into sections/command-list.md (39→27KB skeleton)

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

* feat(retro): absorb inline git/awk metrics into bin/gstack-retro-metrics + carve report format

RETRO_METRICS_PROTO: 1 contract, local git reads only (fetch stays in the
skill prose), degraded path documented in the skeleton.

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

* test: register wave-3 carves (qa, browse, retro) — guards, touchfiles, pins, baselines

CARVE_GUARDS gains the three entries; qa's monolith invariant retires.
auq-format carve-safety now keys on the skeleton+sections union shipping
the AUQ block (first tier-1 carve: browse never renders it by design).
Baselines: parity v1.69.1.0 at 18 sectioned skills; ratchet recaptured.

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

* fix(test): drop stale generate-lake-intro import (generator deleted in the emission-layer move)

Sol scope discipline stays pinned via the model overlay + completeness
section; the lake intro is now a single script-emitted blurb.

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

* feat(office-hours): carve Phase 2A/2B into mode-exclusive sections (81→67KB skeleton)

A session runs exactly one mode, so a builder session never loads the
13KB startup diagnostic. Mode mapping and the vibe-shift upgrade rule
stay in the skeleton.

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

* feat(design): carve UX doctrine + Pretext patterns into read-on-demand sections

design-html 57→49KB, design-shotgun 53→50KB. Sections wrap
{{UX_PRINCIPLES}} so scripts/resolvers/design.ts stays the source of
truth; the pretext-patterns STOP sits at the top of Step 3 so the read
provably precedes the Write.

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

* test: register wave-4 carves (office-hours ext, design-html, design-shotgun) — 20 carved skills

Both design entries carry requiredReads + loading-eval scenarios (D3A
condition). office-hours phase sections are mode-exclusive, so only the
always-reached design/handoff section is a deterministic requiredRead.
Baselines and ratchet recaptured.

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

* docs: trim CLAUDE.md 66.4→44.9KB — verbatim moves to docs/, pointers stay inline

Moved: browser/sidebar/server internals, CHANGELOG release-summary format
spec, project tree, hermetic-E2E detail, slop-scan reference, OpenClaw
publishing. Kept inline: every hard behavioral rule (dist/ ban, redaction
scan-at-sink, egress receipts, bisect commits, eval detach, CHANGELOG
entry rules), the machine-managed GBrain block (byte-identical), and the
'## Deploying to the active skill' header with gbrain-refresh in range
(pinned by test/gbrain-refresh-install-render.test.ts). No voice rewrites.

* fix(test): seed onboarding markers into the hermetic child GSTACK_HOME

EOV7 made bin/gstack-skill-start honor GSTACK_HOME, so the operator-HOME
seeding in e2e-helpers.ts no longer reaches hermetic children — the
emission layer fired lake-intro/telemetry prompts that burned turns and
stalled PTY tests waiting on an answer (observed: plan-mode-no-op derailed
by the telemetry question). Onboarding-specific tests pin their own
GSTACK_HOME per-test, which merges over this seed.

* test: raise carve-section-loading wall clock to 480s SDK / 540s bun

The heavy full-workflow scenarios satisfy their required section reads
inside 60s but need 300-450s to finish the report on slower sandboxes;
the 300s default read as a loading failure when the carve invariant held
(traces: plan-eng-review read its section at 8s, office-hours all three
at 24s, design-html both at 50s — all timed out mid-report).

* fix(security): harden the skill-start trust boundary — review-army findings

Session ID gains a urandom suffix (block binding unforgeable by reflected
content); _sanitize also neutralizes spoofed SESSION_ID: lines; branch
names are charset-clamped before JSON embedding (skill-start + skill-end);
.brain-last-push reads first line only with a charset clamp; the artifacts
URL echo routes through _sanitize; the privacy consent gate fires in
interactive sessions only (spawned auto-choose could accept consent no
human gave — emission order is not a safety property); the daily pull gets
non-interactive + slow-network git guards and stamps only when the
receipted path ran; ~/.claude.json gets a grep pre-filter before the jq
parse.

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

* fix(resolvers): question-log session_id becomes a substitution placeholder + stale-comment sweep

The question-log block bound $_SESSION_ID, a shell variable the
consolidated fence never sets — hook-less hosts logged empty session_id,
breaking /plan-tune per-session grouping. It now uses the same
substitute-from-the-skill-start-echoes contract as the telemetry block.
Also: retired the pre-Phase-2 stop-gate docstring, repointed the
gbrain-local-status cross-reference at the script's inline jq, dropped an
orphaned section comment, documented retro-metrics' suffix-only census.

* chore: regenerate renders for the question-log placeholder; goldens + baselines follow

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

* test: hermetic update-check, onboarding gate sequencing, seeding parity

The contract test's child did a live git ls-remote + curl to github.com on
every bun run test (update_check config now gates it off); the headless
test gets a fresh GSTACK_HOME so the suppression is actually exercised; a
new OV6 test drives the script three times to pin ack-at-emit and gate
sequencing; hermetic seeding covers the config-keyed privacy gate; the
EVALS_HERMETIC=0 debug seeding reaches marker parity.

* test(ci): demote the preamble A/B to periodic (OV7) and add it to the periodic matrix

Post-Phase-3 demotion per the plan; the eval needs fetch-depth 0 (it git
shows a pre-Phase-1 sha), which only the periodic workflow provides — and
a static matrix entry so it can't silently never run.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.70.0.0)

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

* docs: update project documentation for v1.70.0.0

ARCHITECTURE.md: the preamble section now describes the v1.70 runtime —
the rendered {{PREAMBLE}} block invokes bin/gstack-skill-start and reads
STATUS lines, gstack-skill-end logs telemetry, and one-time onboarding
text arrives as gated GSTACK_INSTRUCTION blocks instead of riding in
every render.

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

* docs: doc-review fixes — repair moved-file links, drop unbacked session-count claim

docs/BROWSER_INTERNALS.md: the two ARCHITECTURE.md anchor links broke when
the section moved from repo-root CLAUDE.md into docs/ — now ../ARCHITECTURE.md.
ARCHITECTURE.md: the preamble's session-tracking item claimed an active-session
count and an "ELI16 mode" that no shipped code implements (the count
computation was deleted with the inline preamble); describe the real
touch-and-prune behavior instead.

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

* docs(changelog): correct numeric claims against measured counts

50 of 62 installed skills dropped (fixture/alias entries have no preamble);
11 new carves + a deeper office-hours carve = 9→20; test counts match the
files (13 / 11 / 3 / 7).

* test(e2e-design): widen the Aesthetic synonym set — vocabulary variance, not a regression

Both attempts in run 33090283032 produced judge-praised DESIGN.md files
phrased as 'design principles'/'design language' without any of the four
original literals; inputs were identical to the prior passing run
32899975845 (design-consultation untouched by the intervening merge).

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

* fix(test): stage design-consultation's sections/ into the E2E fixture

The skill has been carved since v1.57.0.0 — the DESIGN.md structure
prescription (the AESTHETIC proposal template) lives in
sections/proposal-and-preview.md behind a STOP-read. The fixture only
copied SKILL.md, so the agent improvised structure from the skeleton and
the section-synonym check has been a coin flip since the carve (CI run
33090283032 trace shows 'no sections dir'; the local eval store has the
same failure on 2026-08-25 while that day's CI run passed on lucky
vocabulary).
