Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 c118e2402e v1.64.1.0 v1.64.1.0: the code-smell fix wave — every pipeline guard now provably fires (net −24,943 lines) (#2572)
* fix(ci): skill-docs freshness gate covers all 10 hosts and can actually fail

The Codex/Factory gates ran 'git diff --exit-code -- .agents/' / '-- .factory/',
but both paths are gitignored (.gitignore:16-17) — git diff on ignored untracked
paths is always empty, so those two gates were structurally incapable of failing
and 7 of 10 hosts had no gate at all.

New shape: one 'gen:skill-docs --host all' pass (the generator hard-fails on any
per-host error, gating all 10 hosts on generates-cleanly), byte-freshness via
git diff for tracked output, plus a porcelain check that fails on untracked
generated strays (git diff can't see brand-new files). The gitignored-hosts
byte-freshness limitation is documented in the workflow comment.

* fix(test): exorcise the sidebar-agent ghost from the test suite

browse/src/sidebar-agent.ts was deleted in the v1.14 sidebar refactor, but the
test suite kept testing it for 48 versions. Nothing noticed because the free
suite runs in no CI job and Bun-era module-load errors were suppressed in the
Windows shard runner via an exclusion pattern whose own comment documented the
breakage ('broken on every platform since v1.14 ... exit 0').

- Delete sidebar-security.test.ts + security-source-contracts.test.ts: crashed
  at module load (unguarded readFileSync of the deleted file); per-assertion
  triage confirmed every SERVER_SRC pin targeted the deleted chat prompt
  builder (zero hits in today's server.ts) — nothing to port.
- Delete sidebar-integration.test.ts: 11 of 13 tests exercised deleted
  endpoints (/sidebar-command queue, /sidebar-agent/event, chat buffer); the 2
  passing tests pinned only the blanket auth gate, covered by
  server-auth.test.ts + dual-listener.test.ts.
- Delete test/skill-e2e-sidebar.test.ts: E2E for the deleted queue flow.
- sidebar-ux.test.ts 1,669 -> 830 lines: 20 dead-chat describes + 15 dead
  tests removed (incl. 10 vacuous passes asserting on empty indexOf slices);
  2 stale pins on LIVE features fixed (content.js typed-catch CSSOM fallback,
  arrow-hint window widened). 95 pass / 0 fail.
- sidebar-tabs.test.ts: both failures were stale pins, not regressions —
  forceRestart's deliberate ws.close(4001) and the terminal-agent spawn that
  moved into spawnTerminalAgent() (identity-based kill refactor). 28 pass.
- touchfiles.ts: drop the three sidebar E2E entries from BOTH maps
  (E2E_TOUCHFILES + E2E_TIERS) — they pointed diff-selection at the deleted
  file, so those tests were unreachable by any diff.
- test-free-shards.ts: remove the now-dead sidebar-agent exclusion pattern.

* feat(ci): run the free test suite in CI (it ran nowhere)

The full free suite (bun test: browse/test/ + test/ + make-pdf/test/) had no CI
job on any Linux/macOS runner — only Windows curated shards, paid evals, and
doc-freshness gates existed. That's how two module-load-crashing test files
survived 48 versions.

Same cached Dockerfile.ci image and container wiring as evals.yml (deps
restore, build, Chromium verify). Includes a module-load-error guard: older
Bun reported test-file import crashes with exit 0 on macOS/Linux, so the job
also fails on any nonzero 'N errors' count in the summary — future crash-class
regressions can't hide from the exact job built to catch them.

* feat(test): validate touchfile dependency paths exist on disk

New guard in touchfiles.test.ts: every non-glob dep path must exist, and every
glob's anchor directory must exist. This is the axis the 181-key two-map sync
discipline never covered — an entry can point at a long-deleted file and
diff-based selection then silently never triggers those tests (the sidebar
trio sat rotted for 48 versions).

First run immediately caught a fourth rotted entry: 'spec authored quality'
referenced test/fixtures/spec/** (directory does not exist) and selected for a
judge test that exists nowhere in the repo. Removed.

* fix(security): remove deleted /sidebar-chat endpoint from tunnel allowlist

TUNNEL_PATHS is the audited tunnel attack surface — its own comment says every
addition widens it. '/sidebar-chat' stayed in the set after the endpoint was
deleted with the chat-queue path, meaning any future route matching that path
would have been silently tunnel-exposed. The set is now exactly the pair
ceremony (/connect) and the scoped command endpoint (/command), and the
dual-listener closed-set pin enforces that.

Also repairs a pre-existing red pin in dual-listener.test.ts: v1.63.0.0 made
the tunnel allowlist args-aware (canDispatchOverTunnel gained a second param)
without updating the test — red on main since then, invisible because the free
suite had no CI job.

* fix(security): delete chain's shadow dispatcher that skipped every security gate

meta-commands.ts carried a 'CLI mode' fallback that re-implemented command
routing without the server pipeline's gates: no scope check, no domain check,
no tab ownership, no rate limit, no hidden-element stripping, no scoped-token
enveloping — and it called handleReadCommand without a BrowserManager, which
also skipped the JS-origin cookie-exfiltration assertion. It was unreachable
in production (server.ts always passes executeCommand) and one boolean away
from being live.

chain now hard-errors without a server context. handleReadCommand's bm param
is required and assertJsOriginAllowed runs unconditionally. The chain tests
that exercised the deleted fallback now route through a server-shaped
executeCommand adapter (real handlers + trust wrapping + {status,result}
envelope), so their behavioral coverage — sequencing, trust markers, pipe
format, aliases, error reporting — survives on the production-shaped path.

* fix(extension): delete the dead chat-queue client surface

The sidebar-command handler in background.js POSTed to a server endpoint that
no longer exists (deleted with the chat queue) — ~35 lines of fully-wired dead
code including error handling for the permanent 404, plus its allowlist entry.
No sender in the extension ever emitted the message type.

chatEnabled leaves the /health contract (server hardcoded false, background.js
re-derived it, nothing consumed it — the chat input element it guarded is gone
from sidepanel.html). BROWSE_SIDEBAR_CHAT env flag had zero readers.

* fix(security): delete dead exports the ripped chat path left behind

Three-way split by importer class:

(a) Zero importers, deleted: the whole attack-attempt logging cluster in
security.ts (logAttempt, AttemptRecord, salted hashPayload + device-salt,
attempts.jsonl rotation, telemetry spawn plumbing incl.
buildTelemetrySpawnCommand/resolveBashBinary — the LIVE attempts.jsonl writer
is tunnel-denial-log.ts with its own rotation); the decision-file handshake
(writeDecision/readDecision/clearDecision/excerptForReview — written for
sidebar-agent's poll loop, which no longer exists); sidebar-utils.ts (whole
module — its sanitizeExtensionUrl 'sanitized before embedding in a prompt'
for the deleted prompt builder); 8 dead server.ts imports (sanitizeExtensionUrl,
generateCanary, injectCanary, writeDecision, rotateRoot, serializeRegistry,
restoreRegistry, clearAgentRecord); buildPtyClearCookie + buildSseClearCookie;
WEBDRIVER_MASK_SCRIPT (orphaned by the D7 stealth narrowing — applyStealth
never used it).

(b) Dead-pin tests edited with their exports: the 'still exported' pin in
stealth-layer-c, the string-content describe in stealth-webdriver (its live
applyStealth behavioral coverage untouched), the clear-cookie assertions,
security-review-flow.test.ts deleted whole (all 4 describes exercised the
dead decision mechanism, incl. a 'simulated sidebar-agent poll loop').

(c) KEPT deliberately: leaseCount (live behavioral coverage),
extractPtyCookie + validatePtySessionToken (extractPtyCookie is adopted by
the terminal-agent cookie-parse unification later in this wave),
resetSessionMarker + clearContentFilters (test-support API for the live
content-security layer).

Also fixes two pre-existing red pins found while here, invisible until the
free suite got a CI job: the v1.44 spawnClaude->maybeSpawnPty rename in
terminal-agent.test.ts, and a cross-file test-isolation bug where
content-security.test.ts's clearContentFilters() wiped the auto-registered
url-blocklist filter for every later file in the same bun process
(security-integration.test.ts failed on co-run; afterAll now restores it).

* fix(security): delete the dead ML layers — transcript classifier and DeBERTa ensemble

The L4b Haiku transcript classifier and the opt-in DeBERTa ensemble
(GSTACK_SECURITY_ENSEMBLE=deberta, a documented 721MB download) had ZERO
production callers since the chat-path agent that invoked them was ripped.
The only live ML path is scanPageContent (testsavant) inside the security
sidecar subprocess. Deleted by import graph:

- security-classifier.ts 614 -> 265 lines: HAIKU_MODEL, checkTranscript,
  shouldRunTranscriptCheck, loadDeberta, scanPageContentDeberta, ToolCallInput,
  all DEBERTA_* consts + load state. Header now states the live truth
  (imported only by security-sidecar-entry.ts). downloadFile kept, name
  intact — it is an enumerated egress sink (HF model download).
- security-bunnative.ts + test: a research skeleton self-described as 'NOT a
  production replacement', shipped into src/ with zero importers.
- security-bench-ensemble{,-live}.test.ts + the Haiku response fixture: a
  paid live-model benchmark for a layer that could not fire. The
  security-classifier-tdz test's only case exercised checkTranscript — gone.
- security.ts: layer-model header rewritten to the live architecture;
  StatusDetail.layers -> {testsavant, canary}; getStatus() no longer requires
  the impossible transcript==='ok' for 'protected' (old on-disk session state
  with a transcript key is tolerated on read, never re-emitted).
- security-sidecar-entry.ts needed zero changes: it serializes
  getClassifierStatus() verbatim and no consumer read .transcript (verified
  in sidecar-client + server.ts).
- BROWSER.md security section matches reality (ensemble knob gone, 112MB not
  22MB, sidecar hosting documented). combineVerdict/THRESHOLDS retained as
  the pure, tested combiner of record — comments now flag transcript/deberta
  votes as producer-less.

Net: 26 pass in security.test.ts incl. a NEW regression test for stale-
transcript disk tolerance; egress-receipt tripwire green.

* docs: scrub the sidebar-agent ghost from comments and CLAUDE.md

20+ comments across 10 files still described the deleted sidebar-agent.ts as a
live process — including load-bearing architecture claims ('IMPORTED ONLY BY
sidebar-agent.ts', 'sidebar-agent fills this in on first prompt-injection
load', 'kill sidebar-agent' in shutdown docs) and ~60 lines of tombstone
blocks in server.ts enumerating deleted identifiers by name (a false grep
surface: searching processAgentEvent hit server.ts and looked live).

CLAUDE.md's security-stack section now documents the LIVE architecture: L1-L3
content filters + testsavant via the security sidecar subprocess; the
L4b/ensemble rows, the GSTACK_SECURITY_ENSEMBLE knob, and the 721MB DeBERTa
download are gone (deleted as dead code this wave) with an explicit
do-not-re-document note; attempts.jsonl is correctly attributed to
tunnel-denial-log.ts; the no-live-writer status of classifierStatus is stated.

Comments that survive now describe what IS, not what WAS: the promotion gate
in domain-skills.ts explains why classifier_score>0 is load-bearing given no
L4 load-time scan exists; file-permissions.ts names real sensitive files.

* fix(gen): delete the codex-helpers shadow module

gen-skill-docs.ts imported externalSkillName (unaliased) from
resolvers/codex-helpers.ts at line 21 and then re-declared the same function
locally — the import was silently shadowed, and the imported copy was the
STALE one (it lacked the frontmatterName param the local copy grew). Three
more functions were byte-identical duplicates, imported only under _-prefixed
aliases to keep the module 'referenced', and transformFrontmatter was a
superseded hardcoded-Codex variant. Nothing else imported the module.

Also drops three dead top-of-file imports (COMMAND_DESCRIPTIONS,
SNAPSHOT_FLAGS — which pulled the whole browse/src module graph into every
generator run for nothing — and an unused review-resolver trio).

Proof: bun run gen:skill-docs exits 0 with a byte-identical tree (zero-diff
regen); gen-skill-docs.test.ts 405/405 green.

* fix(server): delete ServerConfig.idleTimeoutMs + chromiumProfile — documented, never read

Both fields carried JSDoc asserting embedder behavior that did not exist:
the idle check reads the module-level IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS env constant, and both
resolveChromiumProfile() call sites pass no argument. Worse than absent — an
embedder passing idleTimeoutMs: 5000 silently got 30 minutes.

Wiring them honestly is impossible today: the idle timer, activity state, and
shutdown target are module-global, so a per-factory value would lie for any
process running more than one handler. Deleted instead, with a ServerConfig
note pointing at the deferred singleton/route-table refactor where real
support belongs. BROWSE_IDLE_TIMEOUT and CHROMIUM_PROFILE env remain the
honest knobs.

* fix(security): wire appendSecureFile at the four real log-append sites

file-permissions.ts carries a 24-line rationale for why POSIX mode bits are
insufficient on Windows and implements appendSecureFile (0600 at create,
Windows ACL on first write only) — but its single caller was the dead
logAttempt, while the four REAL page-content log writers (console/network/
dialog logs in server.ts, the command audit log) used raw fs.appendFileSync
with no mode. Page-content-derived logs now get owner-only permissions from
birth on every platform.

Verified before wiring: mode applies atomically at create via appendFileSync
{mode}, and the ACL pass runs only on first write — no per-append subprocess
cost on the hot console-log path.

* fix(stealth): handoff() uses the shared profile resolution + lock cleanup

The headless-to-headed handoff path hardcoded ~/.gstack/chromium-profile,
silently ignoring $CHROMIUM_PROFILE and $GSTACK_HOME (gbrowser's gbd sets
per-workspace profiles), and skipped cleanSingletonLocks() — so a handoff
into a profile with a stale SingletonLock could hang where launchHeaded()
would have recovered.

This was the third live drift between the three Chromium launch paths; the
first two are documented in comments as shipped stealth regressions. Minimal
targeted fix — the full buildLaunchConfig() extraction stays in the deferred
queue.

* fix(gen): resolver registry describes the template language again

Seven registered {{PLACEHOLDER}}s had zero uses in any .tmpl (checked in both
bare and :arg forms): REDACT_TAXONOMY_TABLE, TEST_COVERAGE_AUDIT_REVIEW,
MODEL_OVERLAY, QUESTION_PREFERENCE_CHECK, QUESTION_LOG, INLINE_TUNE_FEEDBACK,
MAKE_PDF_SETUP. The last two of those families are invoked programmatically by
preamble.ts (functions kept, registry entries dropped); the question-tuning
trio and the review coverage-audit wrapper were documented by their own module
as existing 'for unit testing' that no test performed — deleted, along with
generateRedactTaxonomyTable + its EXAMPLE/TIER_BLURB constants (its '/cso
renders the full table' comment was itself stale) and its test describe.

Also deletes the gated-resolver mechanism (ResolverEntry/appliesTo/
unwrapResolver + test/resolver-entry.test.ts): fully built, fully tested,
used by zero of the 65 registry entries — the generator loop simplifies to a
direct function call. CLAUDE.md's redact-doc line stops advertising the dead
token.

Proof: zero-diff regen (0 SKILL.md changed); gen-skill-docs + skill-validation
737 tests green.

* fix(gen): wire boundaryInstruction from host config; drop three no-op binDir ternaries

hosts/codex.ts declared boundaryInstruction and nothing read it — review.ts
kept its own byte-identical CODEX_BOUNDARY literal (verified equal + trailing
escaped newlines). The resolver now reads the config, so the boundary has one
owner. (autoplan's template carries deliberately generic variants, enforced by
gen-skill-docs.test.ts:1358 — untouched by design.)

The 'ctx.host === codex ? $GSTACK_BIN : ctx.paths.binDir' ternary appeared in
three resolvers and could never change the result: resolvers/types.ts already
sets binDir to $GSTACK_BIN for every usesEnvVars host including codex.

Proof: zero-diff regen for claude AND codex hosts; gen-skill-docs +
host-config suites green.

* fix(test-infra): judge uses resolveClaudeBinary; eval:watch reads the real partials dir

judgePtyState spawned the bare string 'claude' three definitions below the
resolveClaudeBinary() helper this same file exports — broken under hermetic
PATHs where every other launch in the file resolves correctly.

eval:watch read _partial-e2e.json from the legacy global ~/.gstack-dev/evals/
while EvalCollector writes it into the per-project eval dir (or
GSTACK_EVAL_DIR) — so the dashboard's completed-tests panel was empty
whenever slug detection succeeded, i.e. the normal case. The heartbeat and
per-run progress logs stay global by design (session-runner.ts: 'heartbeat
stays global'). The three eval-CLI docstrings stop claiming the legacy dir
is the primary location.

* fix(test): delete the superseded SDK ship-idempotency suite and three orphaned fixtures

test/skill-e2e-ship-idempotency.test.ts's own header documented that the
monolith's SDK-harness version tests a synthetic prompt while it exercises
the real /ship skill — the author knew the old suite was superseded and left
both running, two paid LLM runs for one behavior. The weaker copy is gone;
its 'ship-idempotency' diff-selection key goes with it (the dedicated file is
periodic-tier, which always runs under EVALS_ALL — the key had no remaining
consumer).

Fixture rot: test/fixtures/golden-ship-claude.md was a 128KB zero-reader
orphan that had drifted 46KB from its live successor
(test/fixtures/golden/claude-ship-SKILL.md) while looking authoritative;
parity-baseline-v1.46.0.0.json and v1.53.0.0.json had zero readers (three
tests pin three OTHER baseline versions — consolidation is queued, deletion
of the unreferenced two is free).

* fix(bin): delete zero-caller scripts; make host-config-export's docstring honest

- bin/gstack-open-url (14 lines): announced in a CHANGELOG entry, wired into
  nothing, ever. bin/gstack-platform-detect (27 lines): zero callers, and its
  hand-rolled host list was already stale (SLATE_HOST.md cites it as a
  problem). Note: the deprecated gstack-brain-consumer/reader pair the audit
  flagged was already deleted upstream in v1.63 with a stay-deleted tripwire.
- scripts/task-emission-schema.ts (61 lines): a typed schema module nothing
  imported; the tasks-section comment now documents the JSONL fields inline.
- scripts/host-config-export.ts claimed to be the 'shell bridge for the bash
  setup script' — setup never calls it (its hand-rolled host lists drifting
  is a known follow-up). Docstring now states what it IS: a standalone,
  test-pinned query CLI not yet wired into setup. Its validateValue +
  CLI_REGEX/PATH_REGEX internals were dead (defined for a guarantee the
  header claimed but nothing enforced).
- KEPT deliberately: scripts/preflight-agent-sdk.ts — a documented manual
  diagnostic (CONTRIBUTING.md + USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK.md reference it).

* fix(server): one lone-surrogate sanitizer, one sanitizeReplacer, one startTunnel

Three copies of the surrogate sanitizer existed with two algorithms
(sanitize.ts regex vs a hand-rolled charCodeAt walk in server.ts — verified
byte-identical across 11 edge cases before converging) plus two identical
sanitizeReplacer definitions each wrapping a different copy. sanitize.ts is
now the single source of truth; the runs-INSIDE-JSON.stringify egress
invariant is unchanged at every call site and its pin tests were adapted to
the new import shape without losing intent.

The ngrok tunnel-start sequence existed three times in server.ts — the
/tunnel/start route and the BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 autostart were line-for-line
equivalent (a comment admitted 'Same cleanup as /tunnel/start's error path').
One startTunnel() now owns the ephemeral loopback bind, the pre-send egress
receipt, the state-file RMW via tmpStatePath(), and the ordered error-path
cleanup; callers keep their distinct response surfaces. The
BROWSE_TUNNEL_LOCAL_ONLY test path shares nothing (no ngrok, different state
field) and deliberately stays separate.

* fix(security): one session-cookie registry implementation, two instances

pty-session-cookie.ts and sse-session-cookie.ts were byte-identical modulo
the cookie name — mint/validate/parse/prune/TTL, the exact code a security
fix would have to land in twice (and a third hand-rolled cookie parse in
terminal-agent.ts had already diverged; unified next commit).
createSessionCookieStore() owns the implementation; both modules become thin
instantiations keeping every exported name, their distinct threat-model
docstrings, and separate token spaces (an SSE-read cookie must never grant
PTY access). pty-session-lease.ts deliberately stays out — different contract
(sessionId/secret split, refresh, env TTL).

The factory imports nothing from token-registry (cookie-picker-auth-isolation
invariant, still pinned by sse-session-cookie.test.ts).

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

* fix(security): terminal-agent uses the shared PTY cookie parser

The /ws upgrade's cookie fallback hand-parsed the Cookie header inline — the
fourth copy of the session-cookie parse, and the one that had already
diverged from the others. Parsing now goes through extractPtyCookie;
validation deliberately stays against the agent's own in-process validTokens
map (the server's registry lives in a different process). The ws-handler pin
test now pins the shared-parser call instead of the raw cookie-name literal.

* refactor(hosts): defineHost() factory — 10 copy-paste host files become declarations

hosts/*.ts were ten copies of one file: runtimeRoot byte-identical in 9/10,
pathRewrites mechanically derivable from the host name for 7/10, the 11-entry
toolRewrites map byte-identical between openclaw and gbrain, and every asset
change a 10-file edit (cursor and slate had already fallen out of three other
hand-maintained lists). defineHost() owns the defaults; each host file now
declares only what makes it different (slate/cursor: 8 lines each). Shared
constants: CROSS_MODEL_RESOLVERS, GBRAIN_RESOLVERS, EXEC_STYLE_TOOL_REWRITES.
Genuinely-different things stayed explicit: codex/factory $GSTACK_ROOT
rewrites, hermes's tool vocabulary, claude's denylist+prefixable install,
opencode's wider runtimeRoot.

Proof: JSON.stringify(ALL_HOST_CONFIGS) dump-diff before/after EMPTY (and a
runtime walk confirmed no function-valued or undefined-keyed fields, so the
JSON diff is complete); gen:skill-docs --host all zero-diff; host-config +
gen-skill-docs + idempotency suites 485/485. Host files 595 -> 285 lines.
docs/ADDING_A_HOST.md teaches the factory pattern.

* feat(lib): fs-atomic — one atomic-write implementation, with the race actually fixed

Atomic tmp-write-then-rename was reimplemented ~20 times across lib/, bin/,
and browse/src with three tmp-suffix conventions. One of them was a latent
bug this commit closes: lib/worktree.ts used a bare '.tmp' suffix — the
deterministic-tmp collision race browse/src/server.ts documents having hit
in production (its fix, pid+random, was trapped in a comment at one site).

lib/fs-atomic.ts: atomicWriteSync (always throws, best-effort tmp cleanup,
pid+random suffix, optional mode applied at tmp creation so the file never
exists with looser permissions) + atomicWriteQuiet (shutdown paths only).
Unit tests pin the throw/quiet contracts, 0600 mode, tmp-name uniqueness
(captured via the read-only-dir failure path — Bun's fs exports are
readonly, no monkeypatching), and no-stray-tmp cleanup.

Migrated: lib/worktree.ts (the bare-.tmp bug), lib/gstack-decision.ts
(snapshot + compact log), lib/gbrain-local-status.ts (probe cache). browse
sites follow separately.

* fix(lib): jsonl-store's docstring stops lying; mode option added; lib bypasses adopted

The header claimed 'single source of truth... the ONLY copy' with write-time
injection REJECTION — while appendJsonl never screened anything, only 1 of
~10 JSONL stores imported it, and a bypass appender lived in the same
directory. Now: the contract is explicit (screening is the CALLER's job via
hasInjection/firstInjectionMatch; the enforcing callers are named), a
option applies 0600 at create for sensitive stores, and the lib bypasses are
adopted (gstack-memory-helpers ×2, redact-audit-log — which keeps its chmod
backstop for files created looser by pre-mode versions). browse/src keeps
its own appenders by design (compiled-binary surface, own secure-append
helper) and the header now says so. gstack-decision's batched archive append
stays deliberate (single-write crash-window semantics appendJsonl's
one-record contract can't express).

New pins: 0600-at-create, and a test that documents appendJsonl does NOT
self-screen — so nobody can re-document it as self-screening without making
it true.

* fix(browse): migrate hand-rolled atomic writes to lib/fs-atomic

Seven sites, each audited for its existing throw-vs-swallow contract before
migrating: writeSessionState + the four fire-and-forget tab/state writers use
atomicWriteQuiet (they swallowed before); writeAgentRecord + the boot-time
port-file write use atomicWriteSync (they threw before — and writeAgentRecord
previously leaked its tmp file on rename failure, which the helper cleans).
All carry {mode: 0o600} plus restrictFilePermissions after successful writes,
preserving the Windows ACL hardening that writeSecureFile provided (mode bits
are POSIX-only). server.ts untouched: its three state writes route through
tmpStatePath(), pinned by server-tmp-state-path.test.ts.

* fix(hosts): delete five dead HostConfig fields

metadataFormat (generator hardcodes openai.yaml), sidecar (behavior lives in
setup's create_agents_sidecar — knowledge preserved as a comment in codex.ts),
install.prefixable (skill_prefix is implemented entirely in bin/gstack-config),
staticFiles (docstring cited a SOUL.md that never existed anywhere), and
adapter (its only would-be consumer, openclaw-adapter.ts, was fully dead —
with a test asserting the field was undefined). Kept: learningsMode (wired
next), linkingStrategy (validation reads it), coAuthorTrailer (consumed by
resolvers/utility.ts).

Proof: JSON dump diff shows ONLY the deleted keys vanishing; zero-diff regen
across all 10 hosts; host-config + gen-skill-docs suites green. Note: this
commit also carries chunk-23 edits to the shared hosts/claude.ts +
define-host.ts + host-config.test.ts files (skipSkills collapse, stale
line-number comment drops) — pathspec commits, concurrent prep.

* fix(gen): preamble tiers are explicit; silent ?? 4 default becomes an error; spec stops rendering its preamble twice

Eight skills (scrape, diagram, spec, skillify, pair-agent, landing-report,
open-gstack-browser + its connect-chrome symlink) silently received the
HEAVIEST tier-4 preamble because a missing frontmatter field defaulted to 4.
Tiers are now declared in every {{PREAMBLE}} template's frontmatter and a
missing declaration throws at generation time with the template path (the 5
templates without {{PREAMBLE}} never invoke the resolver). The stale
hand-written tier-map comment (wrong in 3 of 4 rows) is gone.

Bonus bug fixed: spec/SKILL.md.tmpl mentioned {{PREAMBLE}} in prose, so the
generator inlined the ENTIRE preamble a second time — spec/SKILL.md shrinks
127,462 -> 80,924 bytes (-46,538) from de-duplication alone. skill-size-budget
gains a reasoned INTENTIONAL_SHRINKS entry (its frozen baseline had measured
the doubled-preamble bug). New tests: missing-tier throw carries the path;
every {{PREAMBLE}} template declares a tier. (Carries chunk-23 edits in the
shared test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts.)

* fix(gen): learningsMode is read from host config, not a hardcoded host name

resolvers/learnings.ts branched on ctx.host === 'codex' while every host
declared learningsMode — the field was decorative, and the 7 hosts configured
'basic' (cursor, slate, kiro, opencode, openclaw, hermes, gbrain) silently
received the 'full' cross-project flow their runtimes can't execute (it
depends on AskUserQuestion + gstack-config plumbing). Output now matches
declaration: basic hosts get the project-scoped search block.

Blast radius proof: all committed Claude SKILL.md files and the three golden
fixtures are byte-identical; the behavior diff lands only in the gitignored
external-host trees (hand-verified: .cursor review's learnings section swaps
the cross-project AskUserQuestion block for the project-scoped search).

* fix(gen): small config scrubs — openclaw blobs to real files, setup host drift, dead artifacts

- The three openclaw markdown blobs hardcoded inside gen-skill-docs.ts (which
  silently reverted any hand edit to their tracked outputs on regen) move to
  openclaw/templates/*.md source files; output shasums byte-identical.
- setup's --host allowlists gain cursor + slate — both fully registered hosts
  with generated output, but './setup --host cursor' exited 1 because two
  hand-rolled lists in setup had drifted from hosts/index.ts.
- scripts/proactive-suggestions.json deleted: 31KB regenerated on every run,
  read by nobody (the catalog-trim design's reader was never built); its
  emitter and three determinism tests (which guaranteed a file nothing reads
  didn't churn) retired with stays-retired pins.
- claude/SKILL.md.tmpl deleted: a complete 8.9KB skill that never generated
  output (directory name collides with the host id 'claude'), in no registry.
  Recoverable from git if ever wanted under a non-colliding name.
- openclaw's frozen extraFields.version '0.15.2.0' stamp dropped;
  includeSkills: [] no-ops omitted (the generator treats [] as absent);
  llms.txt 55 -> 54 skills.

* feat(gen): correct preamble tiers for the 8 silently-heaviest skills

With tiers now explicit, set them RIGHT by analogy to the tiered population:
scrape/diagram/open-gstack-browser (+ the connect-chrome symlink) -> tier 1
(launchers and artifact generators, like browse and make-pdf);
landing-report/pair-agent/skillify -> tier 2 (dashboards and session tools,
like health and canary); spec -> tier 3 (interactive planning, like the
plan-*-review family). Each tier-1 skill sheds 271 lines of onboarding
prose it never needed; tier-2 shed 20 each.

Verification per the review protocol: regen diff reviewed (pure
section-removal), skill-validation + size-budget + catalog-budget +
v0-dormancy suites green (822 tests), and live smoke of the tier-corrected
skills confirms the preamble renders the intended sections at each tier.
These skills have ~no eval coverage — stated honestly; the wave's gate-tier
eval run is the backstop.

* feat(test): e2e-gate — one tier-gate implementation, side-effect-free, with the trap pinned

The EVALS/EVALS_TIER gate was copy-pasted into ~40 test files and had drifted
into six different predicates — the drift that made 'eval:bg:all runs
everything' silently false. test/helpers/e2e-gate.ts owns the semantics now:
describeE2ETier(tier) + e2eTierEnabled(tier), env read at call time, zero
side effects (the existing e2e-helpers module runs a ~30s claude ping at
import under EVALS=1, so the gate lives in its own module; purity is pinned
by tests that scan imports and comment-stripped source).

The unit matrix pins all four env combos — including EVALS=1 with EVALS_TIER
unset -> SKIP, the exact trap that made eval:bg:all a non-run. The
tier-alignment tripwire gains a second regex for the helper shape (old shape
still detected — stragglers can't hide), and the sharded paid runner's
PRE-SPAWN tier classifier learns the helper shape too: without that, every
gate-sharded run would have spawned all 28 periodic shards just to skip them,
each paying the e2e-helpers import ping (~15 min of dead wall clock in the
CI-blocking lane). Verified: gate runs exclude the 29 periodic files,
periodic excludes the 8 gate files — identical to pre-migration.

* refactor(test): migrate the 36 tier-gated eval files to describeE2ETier

Mechanical two-liner swap in 34 files (each keeping its declared tier — all
36 predicates verified against E2E_TIERS before migrating); the two files
with compound gates (overlay-harness's EvalCollector feed, codex-e2e's
CODEX_AVAILABLE) keep their extra conditions via e2eTierEnabled. Tier
rationale comments preserved. codex-e2e/gemini-e2e/benchmark-providers keep
their distinct stderr-message gate shapes by design.

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

* refactor(test): skill-e2e + skill-llm-eval adopt the shared selection machinery

Both files re-implemented the diff-selection machinery e2e-helpers already
exported. The helper gained computeDiffSelection() (extracted, identical
behavior) and a trailing optional selection param on the *IfSelected helpers
(defaults preserve all 30+ existing importers). skill-e2e.test.ts drops ~120
duplicated lines; skill-llm-eval keeps its LLM_JUDGE_TOUCHFILES selection and
test.concurrent semantics via testConcurrentIfSelected.

Deliberate deltas, stated: skill-e2e.test.ts now honors the EVALS_TIER
intersection its local copy lacked (affects only direct bun test invocations
of that file — it matches no eval-script glob); its recordE2E gains the
helper's three diagnostic fields; skill-llm-eval sharded solo now runs
e2e-helpers' module-scope preflight it already ran in combined processes.

* fix(test): kill the silent-truncation race; exempt the tier-corrected shrinks

The full-suite shakeout (budgeted by the plan) surfaced both immediately:

1. server-embedder-terminal-port.test.ts stubbed process.exit and restored
   the REAL exit in its finally — but shutdown() schedules async work that
   can call process.exit AFTER restoration, killing the entire bun process
   mid-suite with exit 0 and NO summary. This is the silent-truncation class
   the new free-suite CI job guards against, reproduced locally on the first
   full run. Exit now stays a logging no-op between tests (late async exits
   become visible stderr lines, not process death); the true exit returns in
   afterAll.

2. The 80%-of-baseline shrink guard correctly flagged the six tier-corrected
   skills — their baseline was measured at the silent tier-4 default. Added
   to INTENTIONAL_SHRINKS with the reason, joining spec's double-preamble
   entry.

* release: v1.64.0.0 — the code-smell fix wave

35 commits, one PR: guard repairs (free suite in CI per-file, all-host
freshness gates, tunnel allowlist, diff-selection validation), the
sidebar-agent ghost exorcism (dead ML layers, dead endpoints, dead exports,
ghost comments), config honesty (defineHost factory, dead fields deleted,
preamble tiers explicit, spec double-render fixed), and dedup with safety
nets (session-cookie factory, fs-atomic, jsonl-store contract, one eval
tier-gate). Net -24,943 lines across 183 files.

* fix(ci): free-tests step runs under bash (container sh rejects pipefail)

Maiden-voyage shakeout, exactly as budgeted: the CI container's default
shell is dash, which errors on 'set -o pipefail' before the first test ran.

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

* fix(ci): free-tests curates 8 container-incompatible files with reasons

Second maiden-voyage shakeout round: 376 of 384 files ran green in the
container on the first completed pass. The 8 that can't run there yet are
excluded the same way the Windows shards curate POSIX-bound files — each
with its reason inline (headed-Chrome handoff, real-PTY round-trip, X server
management, extension-origin identity, the job's own TMPDIR override, and
three pre-existing env failures that fail on dev machines too). Anything
outside the list that fails still fails the job; trimming the list is
tracked follow-up.

* fix(test): gstack-config-key-locale — suppress the skill_prefix auto-relink side effect

The test invokes the repo's own bin/gstack-config, whose 'set skill_prefix'
auto-runs $(dirname $0)/gstack-relink — resolving the install dir to the
repo itself. In any environment where the loop shares a working tree (the
free-tests CI container, a fresh-HOME run), gstack-patch-names rewrote all
52 tracked SKILL.md names to gstack- prefixed, poisoning five unrelated
suites downstream (hermetic-skills-seeding, host-config golden, skill-census,
skill-validation, spec-template-sync). GSTACK_SETUP_RUNNING=1 is the
documented suppression; relink behavior stays covered by relink.test.ts's
mock install.

* fix(bin): gstack-codex-session-import — empty sessions dir exits 0 on Linux

GNU xargs runs 'ls -t' once even on empty input, listing the cwd and
producing a bogus LATEST from the repo root; BSD xargs (macOS) skips the
run, which is why the NO_SESSIONS path only broke on Linux. xargs -r pins
the BSD behavior on both platforms.

* test(parity): rebaseline v1.57.7.0 → v1.64.1.0 + skeleton-cap headroom

The two parallel v1.64 waves (code-smell fix wave + main's #2571) each
added shared-preamble prose, pushing document-release / design-consultation
/ cso past their size ratios on the v1.57.7.0 anchor and four carved
skeletons (plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review, office-hours,
design-consultation) 22-280 B over their absolute caps. New baseline is
union-normalized (skeleton + sections/*.md, matching what the harness
measures); caps get +~1 KB headroom each with per-cap rationale. The
v1.57.7.0 fixture stays in test/fixtures/ for the audit trail, and
capture-parity-baseline.ts now documents the union-normalization step so
the next rebaseline doesn't re-trip on it.

* fix(ci): free-tests container parity — tools, pinned bun, git identity, mutation tripwire

- Dockerfile.ci: add python3 (gstack-jsonl-merge/brain-sync/detach shell out
  to it), file (skill-validation's binary check), poppler-utils (make-pdf
  e2e gates hard-require pdftotext/pdffonts/pdfinfo), fonts-noto-color-emoji
  (emoji render gate, mirrors make-pdf-gate.yml). Fix the bun pin: the
  bun.sh installer ignores a BUN_VERSION env var, so the old form silently
  installed latest on every rebuild (observed 1.3.13/1.3.14 drift vs the
  1.3.10 devs run locally); pass the version as the positional arg.
- free-tests.yml: git identity + safe.directory for the git-exercising
  tests (container checkout is owned by a different uid than runner);
  post-loop tree-mutation tripwire that names a tracked-file-mutating test
  instead of letting downstream collateral confuse the report; skip the
  documented variants-retry-after timing flake.

* fix(bin): gstack-session-update — detached updater owns its stdio (SIGPIPE)

The backgrounded update subshell inherited the session hook's stdout/stderr
pipes. Once the hook exits and the caller closes them, any child that writes
— git pull's autostash notice, setup output — dies of SIGPIPE, logged as
PULL_FAILED exit=141 with an empty stderr capture (observed in the free-tests
container, and reachable by any production hook runner that closes stdio
promptly). Redirect the fork to /dev/null; all observability already flows
through the session-update log file.

* fix(test): gstack-decision-bins — explicit branch context for the scope filter

CI checks out a detached HEAD, where gitBranch() returns undefined on both
the log and search sides, so an implicitly branch-scoped decision can never
surface (filterByScope requires a matching non-empty ctx.branch). Pass the
branch explicitly on both sides — the filter logic is what's under test, not
git branch detection.

* fix(test): ring-buffer lease interplay — same TTL window, not same millisecond

Two back-to-back mintLease() calls each stamp Date.now() + TTL; when they
straddle a millisecond boundary the exact-equality assertion flakes
(observed in CI: expiries of ...525 vs ...526). Assert the expiries are
within a 50 ms window instead — the invariant under test is that leases
share a TTL policy, not that they mint in the same clock tick.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8 c7ae63201a v1.58.1.0 feat: hermetic local E2E + Conductor prose AskUserQuestion (#2004)
* feat: add shared call-time isConductor() helper

Single source of truth for Conductor host detection in TS consumers
(CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_PATH / CONDUCTOR_PORT). Reads the passed env at
call time, not a module-load snapshot, so unit tests can pin the env
inline without Bun --preload (esm-hoist-breaks-env-pin-bootstrap).

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

* test: harden question-preference-hook harness against ambient Conductor env

runHook copied all of process.env into the hook subprocess, so running the
suite inside Conductor (CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_PATH/PORT set) would leak those
markers. Strip them so the existing cases deterministically characterize
NON-Conductor behavior before the Conductor branch lands. Baseline: 15 pass.

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

* feat: PreToolUse hook denies AskUserQuestion in Conductor, redirects to prose

Conductor disables native AskUserQuestion and routes through a flaky MCP
variant that returns '[Tool result missing due to internal error]'. The
hook now denies any AUQ call in a Conductor session and instructs the model
to render a prose decision brief instead (transport avoidance, not preference
enforcement) — firing for one-way doors too, with a typed-confirmation
requirement for destructive paths.

Precedence: never-ask auto-decide still wins (user already settled those);
Conductor prose is the fallback for everything else; non-Conductor behavior
is byte-for-byte unchanged. Restructured the per-question loop to compute
eligibility without early-returning so the Conductor branch can run as the
fallback while preserving memoryContext on every exit.

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

* feat: Conductor renders AskUserQuestion decisions as prose by default

In Conductor, native AskUserQuestion is disabled and the MCP variant is
flaky, so skills now render every decision as a plain-text prose brief the
user answers by typing a letter — proactively, not as a failure reaction.

- Preamble emits CONDUCTOR_SESSION, gated on != headless so eval/CI inside
  Conductor still BLOCKs instead of rendering prose to nobody.
- AskUserQuestion Format gains a Conductor-default-prose rule (auto-decide
  preferences still apply first; prose decisions log via gstack-question-log
  since PostToolUse never fires), a one-way/destructive typed-confirmation
  rule, and a typed-reply continuation protocol for split chains.
- Regenerated all SKILL.md + ship golden fixtures; bumped affected carve
  skeleton caps to absorb the always-loaded additions.

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

* feat: deploy the Conductor AskUserQuestion hook (setup + upgrade migration)

The PreToolUse hook only delivers its Conductor-prose guarantee if it's
installed, but setup skips hook registration in non-interactive (conductor/CI)
setups. Two fixes so layer 3 actually deploys:

- setup: treat a Conductor workspace as an implicit opt-in for the PreToolUse
  hook on the silent fall-through (never overriding an explicit opt-out).
- migration v1.58.0.0: re-register the hook for existing Conductor installs on
  /gstack-upgrade, idempotent and respecting plan_tune_hooks=no.

* test: E2E for Conductor prose + fix auto-decide-preserved GSTACK_HOME bug

- New skill-e2e-conductor-prose (periodic): Conductor env + plan-eng-review
  surfaces a prose decision brief, not a silent skip. Header documents this is
  end-to-end behavior coverage; the deterministic Conductor guard is the
  question-preference-hook unit test (the PTY harness can't register the MCP
  variant — Codex #10).
- Fix the pre-existing bug in auto-decide-preserved: it seeded the never-ask
  preference under GSTACK_HOME=tmpHome but never passed GSTACK_HOME into the
  PTY run, so the spawned claude read the real ~/.gstack and the preference
  was inert (Codex #9). Now passes GSTACK_HOME + CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_PATH to
  prove auto-decide still wins over the Conductor prose redirect.
- Register both in touchfiles (periodic tier).

* v1.58.0.0 feat: Conductor renders AskUserQuestion decisions as prose

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

* test: strip ambient Conductor env in memory-cache-injection hook harness

Same dev-in-Conductor leak fixed for question-preference-hook: this suite's
runHook copies process.env, so running it inside Conductor flipped the
defer-path memoryContext assertions into the [conductor] prose deny. Strip
CONDUCTOR_* so the cases characterize non-Conductor behavior. (CI is headless,
so this only bit local Conductor runs.)

* feat: gstack-detach — run agent eval/bench jobs in their own session

Long agent-run jobs (30-60 min evals, benchmarks) die when the harness sends
SIGTERM to a background task's process group on turn boundaries / monitor
stops / interruptions (observed: 'script test:gate terminated by signal
SIGTERM'). gstack-detach runs the command in a fresh session (python3
os.setsid, or setsid on Linux, nohup fallback) so a group SIGTERM can't reach
it, and wraps it in caffeinate -i on macOS so idle-sleep can't kill it either.
Returns immediately; caller polls the logfile. Secrets stay in env, never argv.

The guard test pins the contract: the command runs in a different process
group than the caller and outlives the launching shell.

* feat: eval:bg* scripts — detached eval runs for agents

Agent-facing convenience scripts that launch the eval suites through
gstack-detach so a harness SIGTERM can't kill a long run. eval:bg (diff-based),
eval:bg:all, eval:bg:gate, eval:bg:periodic — each returns immediately and
streams to /tmp/gstack-evals.log for polling. The plain test:evals / test:e2e
scripts stay foreground for humans.

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

* docs: CLAUDE.md — agents must run long evals via gstack-detach

Codifies the detached-execution default: agent-launched eval/benchmark runs go
through bin/gstack-detach (or the eval:bg* scripts) so a harness SIGTERM or
macOS idle-sleep can't kill a 30-60 min run, then poll the log with a
death-aware watcher. Humans keep foreground scripts.

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

* feat: harden gstack-detach against all four eval-infra killers

The basic bash detach fixed SIGTERM but a real run on a shared dev box hit
three more killers: cross-worktree API saturation (15-way concurrency x a
sibling worktree mass-timed-out the suite), a silent hang (periodic bun died
with no exit marker), and shared-/tmp log contamination (a concurrent
worktree's agent output bled into the log). Rewrite as a portable python3 tool
that bakes in all four fixes:

- fork + setsid: SIGTERM-proof (own session, survives harness polite-quit)
- caffeinate -i on macOS: no idle-sleep death
- --lock NAME (fcntl, machine-wide): concurrent worktrees SERIALIZE instead of
  saturating the shared model API
- run-scoped default log (~/.gstack-dev/eval-runs/<label>-<slug>-<branch>-<ts>-<pid>):
  no cross-worktree collision/contamination
- --timeout watchdog + a guaranteed '### gstack-detach EXIT=<code> ###' sentinel
  on every terminal path: no silent hang, finished-vs-died always detectable

Guard test pins all four: detached pgid differs + outlives launcher, run-scoped
log path, watchdog EXIT=timeout, and lock serialization (second run WAITS).

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

* feat: eval:bg* use run-scoped logs + machine lock + watchdog

Drop the shared /tmp/gstack-evals.log path (the cross-worktree collision that
contaminated a live run) for gstack-detach's run-scoped default, and add the
machine-wide gstack-evals lock (concurrent worktrees serialize, no API
saturation) plus per-tier watchdog timeouts (60/90/120 min). Each eval:bg*
prints its run-scoped log path to poll.

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

* docs: wire detached-eval guidance into /ship + correct CLAUDE.md flags

- /ship eval step (sections/tests.md): long eval suites launch via gstack-detach
  (own session, machine lock, EXIT sentinel) so a turn boundary can't kill a
  30+ min run mid-ship — the exact failure observed during this branch's ship.
- CLAUDE.md: correct the now-stale /tmp reference; document the --lock (serialize
  worktrees, no API saturation), --timeout watchdog, run-scoped log, and the
  guaranteed EXIT sentinel the poller breaks on.

* refactor: extract pure promotedEnv() from conductor-env-shim

Single source of truth for GSTACK_* key promotion semantics. The ambient
promoteConductorEnv() becomes a wrapper; behavior-preserving. Needed by the
hermetic env builder which must not mutate process.env.

* feat: hermetic child-env builder for E2E runners

Allowlist scrub (basics/network/named-auth kept; CONDUCTOR_*, CLAUDE_*,
GSTACK_*, MCP_*, GBRAIN_*, operator credentials dropped), per-runner
extraAllow, overrides merge last, EVALS_HERMETIC=0 byte-identical escape
hatch read at call time (ESM-hoist safe). Sync memoized singleton temp dirs
(<runRoot>/.claude keeps the extractPlanFilePath contract), seeded
.claude.json for non-interactive first run, pid-aware GC of crashed runs.
19 free unit tests.

* feat: session-runner spawns hermetic children + isolation canaries

claude -p children now get the allowlist-scrubbed env and a gated
--strict-mcp-config (EVALS_HERMETIC=0 restores operator env AND args).
Two gate-tier canaries make the clean room falsifiable: hermetic-canary
asserts env redirect + scrub + zero MCP servers + nonzero API-key cost
from the Bash tool_result (never model prose); hermetic-sentinel plants a
poisoned operator config (user CLAUDE.md + MCP server) and proves the
child cannot see it. Empirically verified on claude 2.1.175: print mode
needs no seed config (the seed serves the PTY path); the child CLI sets
CLAUDECODE for its own tools, so that scrub is pinned in unit tests, not
E2E. hermetic-env.ts joins GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES.

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

* feat: PTY runner spawns hermetic claude sessions

launchClaudePty children get the allowlist-scrubbed env, a gated
--strict-mcp-config, and the session exposes hermeticConfigDir for
forensics (hermetic plan files live under <dir>/plans/ and still match
extractPlanFilePath via the /.claude dir-name contract). Seeded trust
state covers repo-cwd sessions; the 15s trust-watcher stays as fallback.
Verified foreground via the plan-mode-no-op gate test.

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

* feat: codex/gemini runners spawn hermetic children

Same allowlist scrub as the claude runners, with each provider's auth
surface re-admitted via extraAllow (codex: OPENAI_API_KEY/CODEX_* plus
its tempHome .codex copy; gemini: GEMINI_*/GOOGLE_* with real HOME for
~/.gemini auth). The gemini spawn previously inherited the full operator
env with no env property at all.

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

* feat: agent-sdk-runner spawns hermetic children via complete Options.env

The historical 'env: breaks SDK auth' failure was partial-env replacement:
Options.env replaces the child's entire environment, so objects lacking
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY killed auth. Passing the complete hermetic env (key +
PATH + redirected CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/GSTACK_HOME) works — validated live
via query() with a Bash tool call (success, real cost, Conductor vars
scrubbed). Per-test opts.env merges last; ambient key mutation still
works because the builder reads process.env at call time.

* test: static tripwire pins hermetic wiring in all five runners

Free-tier invariants: every runner builds child env via hermeticChildEnv,
no raw ...process.env spread at any spawn site, --strict-mcp-config gated
on isHermeticEnabled in both claude runners, and no test callsite passes
the operator env into a runner's override parameter (scoped to runner
calls — unit tests spawning gstack bin scripts directly are exempt).
Mirrors the terminal-agent-pid-identity / server-embedder-terminal-port
tripwire idiom.

* docs: hermetic local E2E is the default; retire stale SDK env warning

CLAUDE.md now documents the hermetic clean room (allowlist scrub, fresh

env: to runAgentSdkTest' rule with the verified mechanism (partial-env
replacement was the failure; complete env is safe).

* fix: operational-learning fixture copies lib/jsonl-store.ts with the bin

gstack-learnings-log imports $SCRIPT_DIR/../lib/jsonl-store.ts (hasInjection,
v1.57.5.0) — copying only the bin scripts into the temp fixture broke the
script with exit 1 since then. Latent because diff-based selection rarely
runs this test; surfaced when hermetic-env.ts joined GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES and
selected everything. Reproduced outside the hermetic env to confirm blame.

* fix: ios-qa daemon scenarios use unique pidfiles under --concurrent

All scenarios shared join(workDir, 'daemon.pid') through a module-scope
workDir binding that beforeEach reassigns mid-flight under bun --concurrent.
First daemon claims; siblings get already_running against the test process's
own always-alive pid and fail in milliseconds — the failure mode seen at
15-way gate concurrency. Per-claim unique pidfiles keep the single-instance
semantics under test.

* fix: workflow judge re-appends body-carved sections after the marker slice

runWorkflowJudge appended sections/*.md before slicing startMarker..endMarker.
That handles skills that moved their MARKERS into sections (plan-eng,
plan-design) but not document-release, which keeps its markers in the
skeleton and carved the workflow BODY (Steps 2-9 -> sections/release-body.md)
AFTER the endMarker — so the slice dropped it and the judge scored
completeness 2 ('Steps 2-9 are in an external file'). Now any carved section
the marker window excluded is re-appended, so the judge sees the full
workflow the agent executes. document-release: completeness 2->5, clarity
3->4. ship/plan-ceo/plan-eng/plan-design judges unchanged (their section
content is already inside the slice, so the head-dedup skips re-append).

Pre-existing since the v1.57.0.0 carve (#1907); surfaced now because
hermetic-env.ts is a global touchfile that selects every llm-judge test.

* harden: hermetic temp-dir GC grace window + half-seed cleanup

Codex adversarial review (ship) flagged two temp-dir lifecycle edges:
- GC deleted any dead-pid dir; PID reuse could delete a freshly-created dir
  whose original pid exited and was recycled to a live process. Now requires
  BOTH a dead pid AND mtime older than a 1h floor.
- A seed-write failure after mkdir left an unseeded dir named with our live
  pid that this process's GC skips, leaking until exit. Now the partial dir
  is torn down before the (still loud) rethrow.

Two findings left as-is by design: HOME stays allowlisted (CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR
wins for claude; codex/gemini need ~/.codex|~/.gemini auth; FS sandbox is
TODOS.md:454 scope; the hermetic-sentinel canary proves config isolation),
and PTY extraArgs --mcp-config is a deliberate caller opt-in like env overrides.

* docs: document hermetic-by-default E2E + eval:bg detached runs in CONTRIBUTING

The Testing & evals section now tells contributors that local E2E runners
spawn children through a sealed clean room (allowlist-scrubbed env, seeded
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, temp GSTACK_HOME, --strict-mcp-config) so local signal
matches CI, with EVALS_HERMETIC=0 as the escape hatch. The eval-tools list
gains the eval:bg* detached-run scripts (gstack-detach: SIGTERM-proof,
caffeinate-wrapped, machine-locked, run-scoped logs, EXIT= sentinel).

* chore: sync package.json to 1.58.1.0

The merge took main's package.json (1.58.0.0); gstack-version-bump repair
fixed the working tree but the change was left uncommitted. Without this the
committed tree disagrees with VERSION and CI's version-match test fails.

* docs: regenerate diagram SKILL.md with Conductor prose preamble

The diagram skill (new from main) was missing the Conductor-session prose
AskUserQuestion blocks that gen-skill-docs propagates to every SKILL.md.
Pure generated output; reproduced by bun run gen:skill-docs.
