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

3 people	0a803f9e81	feat: gstack v1 — simpler prompts + real LOC receipts (v1.0.0.0) (#1039) ... * docs: add design doc for /plan-tune v1 (observational substrate) Canonical record of the /plan-tune v1 design: typed question registry, per-question explicit preferences, inline tune: feedback with user-origin gate, dual-track profile (declared + inferred separately), and plain-English inspection skill. Captures every decision with pros/cons, what's deferred to v2 with explicit acceptance criteria, and what was rejected entirely. Codex review drove a substantial scope rollback from the initial CEO EXPANSION plan. 15+ legitimate findings (substrate claim was false without a typed registry; E4/E6/clamp logical contradiction; profile poisoning attack surface; LANDED preamble side effect; implementation order) shaped the final shape. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: typed question registry for /plan-tune v1 foundation scripts/question-registry.ts declares 53 recurring AskUserQuestion categories across 15 skills (ship, review, office-hours, plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review, plan-design-review, plan-devex-review, qa, investigate, land-and-deploy, cso, gstack-upgrade, preamble, plan-tune, autoplan). Each entry has: stable kebab-case id, skill owner, category (approval | clarification | routing | cherry-pick | feedback-loop), door_type (one-way | two-way), optional stable option keys, optional psychographic signal_key, and a one-line description. 12 of 53 are one-way doors (destructive ops, architecture/data forks, security/compliance). These are ALWAYS asked regardless of user preference. Helpers: getQuestion(id), getOneWayDoorIds(), getAllRegisteredIds(), getRegistryStats(). No binary or resolver wiring yet — this is the schema substrate the rest of /plan-tune builds on. Ad-hoc question_ids (not registered) still log but skip psychographic signal attribution. Future /plan-tune skill surfaces frequently-firing ad-hoc ids as candidates for registry promotion. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: registry schema + safety + coverage tests (gate tier) 20 tests validating the question registry: Schema (7 tests): - Every entry has required fields - All ids are kebab-case and start with their skill name - No duplicate ids - Categories are from the allowed set - door_type is one-way | two-way - Options arrays are well-formed - Descriptions are short and single-line Helpers (5 tests): - getQuestion returns entry for known id, undefined for unknown - getOneWayDoorIds includes destructive questions, excludes two-way - getAllRegisteredIds count matches QUESTIONS keys - getRegistryStats totals are internally consistent One-way door safety (2 tests): - Every critical question (test failure, SQL safety, LLM trust boundary, security scan, merge confirm, rollback, fix apply, premise revise, arch finding, privacy gate, user challenge) is declared one-way - At least 10 one-way doors exist (catches regression if declarations are accidentally dropped) Registry breadth (3 tests): - 11 high-volume skills each have >= 1 registered question - Preamble one-time prompts are registered - /plan-tune's own questions are registered Signal map references (1 test): - signal_key values are typed kebab-case strings Template coverage (2 tests, informational): - AskUserQuestion usage across templates is non-trivial (>20) - Registry spans >= 10 skills 20 pass, 0 fail. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: one-way door classifier (belt-and-suspenders safety fallback) scripts/one-way-doors.ts — secondary keyword-pattern classifier that catches destructive questions even when the registry doesn't have an entry for them. The registry's door_type field (from scripts/question-registry.ts) is the PRIMARY safety gate. This classifier is the fallback for ad-hoc question_ids that agents generate at runtime. Classification priority: 1. Registry lookup by question_id → use declared door_type 2. Skill:category fallback (cso:approval, land-and-deploy:approval) 3. Keyword pattern match against question_summary 4. Default: treat as two-way (safer to log the miss than auto-decide unsafely) Covers 21 destructive patterns across: - File system (rm -rf, delete, wipe, purge, truncate) - Database (drop table/database/schema, delete from) - Git/VCS (force-push, reset --hard, checkout --, branch -D) - Deploy/infra (kubectl delete, terraform destroy, rollback) - Credentials (revoke/reset/rotate API key|token|secret|password) - Architecture (breaking change, schema migration, data model change) 7 new tests in test/plan-tune.test.ts covering: registry-first lookup, unknown-id fallthrough, keyword matching on destructive phrasings including embedded filler words ("rotate the API key"), skill-category fallback, benign questions defaulting to two-way, pattern-list non-empty. 27 pass, 0 fail. 1270 expect() calls. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: psychographic signal map + builder archetypes scripts/psychographic-signals.ts — hand-crafted {signal_key, user_choice} → {dimension, delta} map. Version 0.1.0. Conservative deltas (±0.03 to ±0.06 per event). Covers 9 signal keys: scope-appetite, architecture-care, code-quality-care, test-discipline, detail-preference, design-care, devex-care, distribution-care, session-mode. Helpers: applySignal() mutates running totals, newDimensionTotals() creates empty starting state, normalizeToDimensionValue() sigmoid-clamps accumulated delta to [0,1] (0 → 0.5 neutral), validateRegistrySignalKeys() checks that every signal_key in the registry has a SIGNAL_MAP entry. In v1 the signal map is used ONLY to compute inferred dimension values for /plan-tune inspection output. No skill behavior adapts to these signals until v2. scripts/archetypes.ts — 8 named archetypes + Polymath fallback: - Cathedral Builder (boil-the-ocean + architecture-first) - Ship-It Pragmatist (small scope + fast) - Deep Craft (detail-verbose + principled) - Taste Maker (intuitive, overrides recommendations) - Solo Operator (high-autonomy, delegates) - Consultant (hands-on, consulted on everything) - Wedge Hunter (narrow scope aggressively) - Builder-Coach (balanced steering) - Polymath (fallback when no archetype matches) matchArchetype() uses L2 distance scaled by tightness, with a 0.55 threshold below which we return Polymath. v1 ships the model stable; v2 narrative/vibe commands wire it into user-facing output. 14 new tests: signal map consistency vs registry, applySignal behavior for known/unknown keys, normalization bounds, archetype schema validity, name uniqueness, matchArchetype correctness for each reference profile, Polymath fallback for outliers. 41 pass, 0 fail total in test/plan-tune.test.ts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: bin/gstack-question-log — append validated AskUserQuestion events Append-only JSONL log at ~/.gstack/projects/{SLUG}/question-log.jsonl. Schema: {skill, question_id, question_summary, category?, door_type?, options_count?, user_choice, recommended?, followed_recommendation?, session_id?, ts} Validates: - skill is kebab-case - question_id is kebab-case, <= 64 chars - question_summary non-empty, <= 200 chars, newlines flattened - category is one of approval/clarification/routing/cherry-pick/feedback-loop - door_type is one-way or two-way - options_count is integer in [1, 26] - user_choice non-empty string, <= 64 chars Injection defense on question_summary rejects the same patterns as gstack-learnings-log (ignore previous instructions, system:, override:, do not report, etc). followed_recommendation is auto-computed when both user_choice and recommended are present. ts auto-injected as ISO 8601 if missing. 21 tests covering: valid payloads, full field preservation, auto-followed computation, appending, long-summary truncation, newline flattening, invalid JSON, missing fields, bad case, oversized ids, invalid enum values, out-of-range options_count, and 6 injection attack patterns. 21 pass, 0 fail, 43 expect() calls. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: bin/gstack-developer-profile — unified profile with migration bin/gstack-developer-profile supersedes bin/gstack-builder-profile. The old binary becomes a one-line legacy shim delegating to --read for /office-hours backward compat. Subcommands: --read legacy KEY:VALUE output (tier, session_count, etc) --migrate folds ~/.gstack/builder-profile.jsonl into ~/.gstack/developer-profile.json. Atomic (temp + rename), idempotent (no-op when target exists or source absent), archives source as .migrated-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS --derive recomputes inferred dimensions from question-log.jsonl using the signal map in scripts/psychographic-signals.ts --profile full profile JSON --gap declared vs inferred diff JSON --trace <dim> event-level trace of what contributed to a dimension --check-mismatch flags dimensions where declared and inferred disagree by > 0.3 (requires >= 10 events first) --vibe archetype name + description from scripts/archetypes.ts --narrative (v2 stub) Auto-migration on first read: if legacy file exists and new file doesn't, migrate before reading. Creates a neutral (all-0.5) stub if nothing exists. Unified schema (see docs/designs/PLAN_TUNING_V0.md §Architecture): {identity, declared, inferred: {values, sample_size, diversity}, gap, overrides, sessions, signals_accumulated, schema_version} 25 new tests across subcommand behaviors: - --read defaults + stub creation - --migrate: 3 sessions preserved with signal tallies, idempotency, archival - Tier calculation: welcome_back / regular / inner_circle boundaries - --derive: neutral-when-empty, upward nudge on 'expand', downward on 'reduce', recomputable (same input → same output), ad-hoc unregistered ids ignored - --trace: contributing events, empty for untouched dims, error without arg - --gap: empty when no declared, correctly computed otherwise - --vibe: returns archetype name + description - --check-mismatch: threshold behavior, 10+ sample requirement - Unknown subcommand errors 25 pass, 0 fail, 60 expect() calls. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: bin/gstack-question-preference — explicit preferences + user-origin gate Subcommands: --check <id> → ASK_NORMALLY | AUTO_DECIDE (decides if a registered question should be auto-decided by the agent) --write '{…}' → set a preference (requires user-origin source) --read → dump preferences JSON --clear [id] → clear one or all --stats → short counts summary Preference values: always-ask | never-ask | ask-only-for-one-way. Stored at ~/.gstack/projects/{SLUG}/question-preferences.json. Safety contract (the core of Codex finding #16, profile-poisoning defense from docs/designs/PLAN_TUNING_V0.md §Security model): 1. One-way doors ALWAYS return ASK_NORMALLY from --check, regardless of user preference. User's never-ask is overridden with a visible safety note so the user knows why their preference didn't suppress the prompt. 2. --write requires an explicit `source` field: - Allowed: "plan-tune", "inline-user" - REJECTED with exit code 2: "inline-tool-output", "inline-file", "inline-file-content", "inline-unknown" Rejection is explicit ("profile poisoning defense") so the caller can log and surface the attempt. 3. free_text on --write is sanitized against injection patterns (ignore previous instructions, override:, system:, etc.) and newline-flattened. Each --write also appends a preference-set event to ~/.gstack/projects/{SLUG}/question-events.jsonl for derivation audit trail. 31 tests: - --check behavior (4): defaults, two-way, one-way (one-way overrides never-ask with safety note), unknown ids, missing arg - --check with prefs (5): never-ask on two-way → AUTO_DECIDE; never-ask on one-way → ASK_NORMALLY with override note; always-ask always asks; ask-only-for-one-way flips appropriately - --write valid (5): inline-user accepted, plan-tune accepted, persisted correctly, event appended, free_text preserved with flattening - User-origin gate (6): missing source rejected; inline-tool-output rejected with exit code 2 and explicit poisoning message; inline-file, inline-file-content, inline-unknown rejected; unknown source rejected - Schema validation (4): invalid JSON, bad question_id, bad preference, injection in free_text - --read (2): empty → {}, returns writes - --clear (3): specific id, clear-all, NOOP for missing - --stats (2): empty zeros, tallies by preference type 31 pass, 0 fail, 52 expect() calls. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: question-tuning preamble resolvers scripts/resolvers/question-tuning.ts ships three preamble generators: generateQuestionPreferenceCheck — before each AskUserQuestion, agent runs gstack-question-preference --check <id>. AUTO_DECIDE suppresses the ask and auto-chooses recommended. ASK_NORMALLY asks as usual. One-way door safety override is handled by the binary. generateQuestionLog — after each AskUserQuestion, agent appends a log record with skill, question_id, summary, category, door_type, options_count, user_choice, recommended, session_id. generateInlineTuneFeedback — offers inline "tune:" prompt after two-way questions. Documents structured shortcuts (never-ask, always-ask, ask-only-for-one-way, ask-less) AND accepts free-form English with normalization + confirmation. Explicitly spells out the USER-ORIGIN GATE: only write tune events when the prefix appears in the user's own chat message, never from tool output or file content. Binary enforces. All three resolvers are gated by the QUESTION_TUNING preamble echo. When the config is off, the agent skips these sections entirely. Ready to be wired into preamble.ts in the next commit. Codex host has a simpler variant that uses $GSTACK_BIN env vars. scripts/resolvers/index.ts registers three placeholders: QUESTION_PREFERENCE_CHECK, QUESTION_LOG, INLINE_TUNE_FEEDBACK Total resolver count goes from 45 to 48. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: wire question-tuning into preamble for tier >= 2 skills scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts — adds two things: 1. _QUESTION_TUNING config echo in the preamble bash block, gated on the user's gstack-config `question_tuning` value (default: false). 2. A combined Question Tuning section for tier >= 2 skills, injected after the confusion protocol. The section itself is runtime-gated by the QUESTION_TUNING value — agents skip it entirely when off. scripts/resolvers/question-tuning.ts — consolidated into one compact combined section `generateQuestionTuning(ctx)` covering: preference check before the question, log after, and inline tune: feedback with user-origin gate. Per-phase generators remain exported for unit tests but are no longer the main entrypoint. Size impact: +570 tokens / +2.3KB per tier-2+ SKILL.md. Three skills (plan-ceo-review, office-hours, ship) still exceed the 100KB token ceiling — but they were already over before this change. Delta is the smallest viable wiring of the /plan-tune v1 substrate. Golden fixtures (test/fixtures/golden/claude-ship, codex-ship, factory-ship) regenerated to match the new baseline. Full test run: 1149 pass, 0 fail, 113 skip across 28 files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: regenerate SKILL.md files with question-tuning section bun run gen:skill-docs --host all after wiring the QUESTION_TUNING preamble section. Every tier >= 2 skill now includes the combined Question Tuning guidance. Runtime-gated — agents skip the section when question_tuning is off in gstack-config (default). Golden fixtures (claude-ship, codex-ship, factory-ship) updated to the new baseline. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: /plan-tune skill — conversational inspection + preferences plan-tune/SKILL.md.tmpl: the user-facing skill for /plan-tune v1. Routes plain-English intent to one of 8 flows: - Enable + setup (first-time): 5 declaration questions mapping to the 5 psychographic dimensions (scope_appetite, risk_tolerance, detail_preference, autonomy, architecture_care). Writes to developer-profile.json declared.*. - Inspect profile: plain-English rendering of declared + inferred + gap. Uses word bands (low/balanced/high) not raw floats. Shows vibe archetype when calibration gate is met. - Review question log: top-20 question frequencies with follow/override counts. Highlights override-heavy questions as candidates for never-ask. - Set a preference: normalizes "stop asking me about X" → never-ask, etc. Confirms ambiguous phrasings before writing via gstack-question-preference. - Edit declared profile: interprets free-form ("more boil-the-ocean") and CONFIRMS before mutating declared.* (trust boundary per Codex #15). - Show gap: declared vs inferred diff with plain-English severity bands (close / drift / mismatch). Never auto-updates declared from the gap. - Stats: preference counts + diversity/calibration status. - Enable / disable: gstack-config set question_tuning true|false. Design constraints enforced: - Plain English everywhere. No CLI subcommand syntax required. Shortcuts (`profile`, `vibe`, `stats`, `setup`) exist but optional. - user-origin gate on tune: writes. source: "plan-tune" for user-invoked /plan-tune; source: "inline-user" for inline tune: from other skills. - One-way doors override never-ask (safety, surfaced to user). - No behavior adaptation in v1 — this skill inspects and configures only. Generates plan-tune/SKILL.md at ~11.6k tokens, well under the 100KB ceiling. Generated for all hosts via `bun run gen:skill-docs --host all`.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: E2E test for /plan-tune plain-English inspection flow (gate tier) test/skill-e2e-plan-tune.test.ts — verifies /plan-tune correctly routes plain-English intent ("review the questions I've been asked") to the Review question log section without requiring CLI subcommand syntax. Seeds a synthetic question-log.jsonl with 3 entries exercising: - override behavior (user chose expand over recommended selective) - one-way door respect (user followed ship-test-failure-triage recommendation) - two-way override (user skipped recommended changelog polish) Invokes the skill via `claude -p` and asserts: - Agent surfaces >= 2 of 3 logged question_ids in output - Agent notices override/skip behavior from the log - Exit reason is success or error_max_turns (not agent-crash) Gate-tier because the core v1 DX promise is plain-English intent routing. If it requires memorized subcommands or breaks on natural language, that's a regression of the defining feature. Registered in test/helpers/touchfiles.ts with dependencies: - plan-tune/** (skill template + generated md) - scripts/question-registry.ts (required for log lookup) - scripts/psychographic-signals.ts, scripts/one-way-doors.ts (derive path) - bin/gstack-question-log, gstack-question-preference, gstack-developer-profile Skipped when EVALS_ENABLED is not set; runs on `bun run test:evals`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump version and changelog (v0.19.0.0) — /plan-tune v1 Ships /plan-tune as observational substrate: typed question registry, dual-track developer profile (declared + inferred), explicit per-question preferences with user-origin gate, inline tune: feedback across every tier >= 2 skill, unified developer-profile.json with migration from builder-profile.jsonl. Scope rolled back from initial CEO EXPANSION plan after outside-voice review (Codex). 6 deferrals tracked as P0 TODOs with explicit acceptance criteria: E1 substrate wiring, E3 narrative/vibe, E4 blind-spot coach, E5 LANDED celebration, E6 auto-adjustment, E7 psychographic auto-decide. See docs/designs/PLAN_TUNING_V0.md for the full design record. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ci): harden Dockerfile.ci against transient Ubuntu mirror failures The CI image build failed with: E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/... Connection failed [IP: 91.189.92.22 80] ERROR: process "/bin/sh -c apt-get update && apt-get install ..." did not complete successfully: exit code: 100 archive.ubuntu.com periodically returns "connection refused" on individual regional mirrors. Without retry logic a single failed fetch nukes the whole Docker build. Three defenses, layered: 1. /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80-retries — apt fetches each package up to 5 times with a 30s timeout. Handles per-package flakes. 2. Shell-loop retry around the whole apt-get step (x3, 10s sleep) — handles the case where apt-get update itself can't reach any mirror. 3. --retry 5 --retry-delay 5 --retry-connrefused on all curl fetches (bun install script, GitHub CLI keyring, NodeSource setup script). Applied to every apt-get and curl call in the Dockerfile. No behavior change on happy path — only kicks in when mirrors blip. Fixes the build-image job that was blocking CI on the /plan-tune PR. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: add PLAN_TUNING_V1 + PACING_UPDATES_V0 design docs Captures the V1 design (ELI10 writing + LOC reframe) in docs/designs/PLAN_TUNING_V1.md and the extracted V1.1 pacing-overhaul plan in docs/designs/PACING_UPDATES_V0.md. V1 scope was reduced from the original bundled pacing + writing-style plan after three engineering-review passes revealed structural gaps in the pacing workstream that couldn't be closed via plan-text editing. TODOS.md P0 entry links to V1.1. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: curated jargon list for V1 writing-style glossing Repo-owned list of ~50 high-frequency technical terms (idempotent, race condition, N+1, backpressure, etc.) that gstack glosses on first use in tier-≥2 skill output. Baked into generated SKILL.md prose at gen-skill-docs time. Terms not on this list are assumed plain-English enough. Contributions via PR. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(preamble): V1 Writing Style section + EXPLAIN_LEVEL echo + migration prompt Adds a new Writing Style section to tier-≥2 preamble output composing with the existing AskUserQuestion Format section. Six rules: jargon glossed on first use per skill invocation (from scripts/jargon-list.json), outcome- framed questions, short sentences, decisions close with user impact, gloss-on-first-use even if user pasted term, user-turn override for "be terse" requests. Baked conditionally (skip if EXPLAIN_LEVEL: terse). Adds EXPLAIN_LEVEL preamble echo using \${binDir} (host-portable matching V0 QUESTION_TUNING pattern). Adds WRITING_STYLE_PENDING echo reading a flag file written by the V0→V1 upgrade migration; on first post-upgrade skill run, the agent fires a one-time AskUserQuestion offering terse mode. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gstack-config): validate explain_level + document in header Adds explain_level: default|terse to the annotated config header with a one-line description. Whitelists valid values; on set of an unknown value, prints a specific warning ("explain_level '\$VALUE' not recognized. Valid values: default, terse. Using default.") and writes the default value. Matches V1 preamble's EXPLAIN_LEVEL echo expectation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: V1 upgrade migration — writing-style opt-out prompt New migration script following existing v0.15.2.0.sh / v0.16.2.0.sh pattern. Writes a .writing-style-prompt-pending flag file on first run post-upgrade. The preamble's migration-prompt block reads the flag and fires a one-time AskUserQuestion offering the user a choice between the new default writing style and restoring V0 prose via \`gstack-config set explain_level terse\`. Idempotent via flag files; if the user has already set explain_level explicitly, counts as answered and skips. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: LOC reframe tooling — throughput comparison + README updater + scc installer Three new scripts: - scripts/garry-output-comparison.ts — enumerates Garry-authored commits in 2013 + 2026 on public repos, extracts ADDED lines from git diff, classifies as logical SLOC via scc --stdin (regex fallback if scc missing). Writes docs/throughput-2013-vs-2026.json with per-language breakdown + explicit caveats (public repos only, commit-style drift, private-work exclusion). - scripts/update-readme-throughput.ts — reads the JSON if present, replaces the README's <!-- GSTACK-THROUGHPUT-PLACEHOLDER --> anchor with the computed multiple (preserving the anchor for future runs). If JSON missing, writes GSTACK-THROUGHPUT-PENDING marker that CI rejects — forcing the build to run before commit. - scripts/setup-scc.sh — standalone OS-detecting installer for scc. Not a package.json dependency (95% of users never run throughput). Brew on macOS, apt on Linux, GitHub releases link on Windows. Two-string anchor pattern (PLACEHOLDER vs PENDING) prevents the pipeline from destroying its own update path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(retro): surface logical SLOC + weighted commits above raw LOC V1 reorders the /retro summary table to lead with features shipped, then commits + weighted commits (commits × files-touched capped at 20), then PRs merged, then logical SLOC added as the primary code-volume metric. Raw LOC stays present but is demoted to context. Rationale inline in the template: ten lines of a good fix is not less shipping than ten thousand lines of scaffold. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(v1): README hero reframe + writing-style + CHANGELOG + version bump to 1.0.0.0 README.md: - Hero removes "600,000+ lines of production code" framing; replaces with the computed 2013-vs-2026 pro-rata multiple (via <!-- GSTACK-THROUGHPUT-PLACEHOLDER --> anchor, filled by the update-readme-throughput build step). - Hiring callout: "ship real products at AI-coding speed" instead of "10K+ LOC/day." - New Writing Style section (~80 words) between Quick start and Install: "v1 prompts = simpler" framing, outcome-language example, terse-mode opt-out, pointer to /plan-tune. CLAUDE.md: one-paragraph Writing style (V1) note under project conventions, linking to preamble resolver + V1 design docs. CHANGELOG.md: V1 entry on top of v0.19.0.0 with user-facing narrative (what changes, how to opt out, for-contributors notes). Mentions scope reduction — pacing overhaul ships in V1.1. CONTRIBUTING.md: one-paragraph note on jargon-list.json maintenance (PR to add/remove terms; regenerate via gen:skill-docs). VERSION + package.json: bump to 1.0.0.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: regenerate SKILL.md files + golden fixtures for V1 Mechanical regeneration from the updated templates in prior commits: - Writing Style section now appears in tier-≥2 skill output. - EXPLAIN_LEVEL + WRITING_STYLE_PENDING echoes in preamble bash. - V1 migration-prompt block fires conditionally on first upgrade. - Jargon list inlined into preamble prose at gen time. - Retro template's logical SLOC + weighted commits order applied. Regenerated for all 8 hosts via bun run gen:skill-docs --host all. Golden ship-skill fixtures refreshed from regenerated outputs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: V1 gate coverage — writing-style resolver + config + jargon + migration + dormancy Six new gate-tier test files: - test/writing-style-resolver.test.ts — asserts Writing Style section is injected into tier-≥2 preamble, all 6 rules present, jargon list inlined, terse-mode gate condition present, Codex output uses \$GSTACK_BIN (not ~/.claude/), tier-1 does NOT get the section, migration-prompt block present. - test/explain-level-config.test.ts — gstack-config set/get round-trip for default + terse, unknown-value warns + defaults to default, header documents the key, round-trip across set→set→get. - test/jargon-list.test.ts — shape + ~50 terms + no duplicates (case-insensitive) + includes canonical high-signal terms. - test/v0-dormancy.test.ts — 5D dimension names + archetype names forbidden in default-mode tier-≥2 SKILL.md output, except for plan-tune and office-hours where they're load-bearing. - test/readme-throughput.test.ts — script replaces anchor with number on happy path, writes PENDING marker when JSON missing, CI gate asserts committed README contains no PENDING string. - test/upgrade-migration-v1.test.ts — fresh run writes pending flag, idempotent after user-answered, pre-existing explain_level counts as answered. All 95 V1 test-expect() calls pass. Full suite: 0 failures. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: compute real 2013-vs-2026 throughput multiple (130.2×) Ran scripts/garry-output-comparison.ts across all 15 public garrytan/* repos. Aggregated results into docs/throughput-2013-vs-2026.json and ran scripts/update-readme-throughput.ts to replace the README placeholder. 2013 public activity: 2 commits, 2,384 logical lines added across 1 week, in 1 repo (zurb-foundation-wysihtml5 upstream contribution). 2026 public activity: 279 commits, 310,484 logical lines added across 17 active weeks, in 3 repos (gbrain, gstack, resend_robot). Multiples (public repos only, apples-to-apples): - Logical SLOC: 130.2× - Commits per active week: 8.2× - Raw lines added: 134.4× Private work at both eras (2013 Bookface at YC, Posterous-era code, 2026 internal tools) is excluded from this comparison. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: 207× throughput multiple (with private repos + Bookface) Re-ran scripts/garry-output-comparison.ts across all 41 repos under garrytan/* (15 public + 26 private), including Bookface (YC's internal social network, 2013-era work). 2013 activity: 71 commits, 5,143 logical lines, 4 active repos (bookface, delicounter, tandong, zurb-foundation-wysihtml5) 2026 activity: 350 commits, 1,064,818 logical lines, 15 active repos (gbrain, gstack, gbrowser, tax-app, kumo, tenjin, autoemail, kitsune, easy-chromium-compiles, conductor-playground, garryslist-agent, baku, gstack-website, resend_robot, garryslist-brain) Multiples: - Logical SLOC: 207× (up from 130.2× when including private work) - Raw lines: 223× - Commits/active-week: 3.4× Stopped committing docs/throughput-2013-vs-2026.json — analysis is a local artifact, not repo state. Added docs/throughput-*.json to .gitignore. Full markdown analysis at ~/throughput-analysis-2026-04-18.md (local-only). README multiple is now hardcoded; re-run the script and edit manually when you want to refresh it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: run rate vs year-to-date throughput comparison Two separate numbers in the README hero: - Run rate: ~700× (9,859 logical lines/day in 2026 vs 14/day in 2013) - Year-to-date: 207× (2026 through April 18 already exceeds 2013 full year by 207×) Previous "207× pro-rata" framing mixed full-year 2013 vs partial-year 2026. Run rate is the apples-to-apples normalization; YTD is the "already produced" total. Both are honest; both are compelling; they measure different things. Analysis at ~/throughput-analysis-2026-04-18.md (local-only). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(throughput): script natively computes to-date + run-rate multiples Enhanced scripts/garry-output-comparison.ts so both calculations come out of a single run instead of being reassembled ad-hoc in bash: PerYearResult now includes: - days_elapsed — 365 for past years, day-of-year for current - is_partial — flags the current (in-progress) year - per_day_rate — logical/raw/commits normalized by calendar day - annualized_projection — per_day_rate × 365 Output JSON's `multiples` now has two sibling blocks: - multiples.to_date — raw volume ratios (2026-YTD / 2013-full-year) - multiples.run_rate — per-day pace ratios (apples-to-apples) Back-compat: multiples.logical_lines_added still aliases to_date for older consumers reading the JSON. Updated README hero to cite both (picking up brain/* repo that was missed in the earlier aggregation pass): 2026 run rate: ~880× my 2013 pace (12,382 vs 14 logical lines/day) 2026 YTD: 260× the entire 2013 year Stderr summary now prints both multiples at the end of each run. Full analysis at ~/throughput-analysis-2026-04-18.md (local-only). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: ON_THE_LOC_CONTROVERSY methodology post + README link Long-form response to the "LOC is a meaningless vanity metric" critique. Covers: - The three branches of the LOC critique and which are right - Why logical SLOC (NCLOC) beats raw LOC as the honest measurement - Full method: author-scoped git diff, regex-classified added lines, aggregated across 41 public + private garrytan/* repos - Both calculations: to-date (260x) and run-rate (879x) - Steelman of the critics (greenfield-vs-maintenance, survivorship bias, quality-adjusted productivity, time-to-first-user) - Reproduction instructions Linked from README hero via a blockquote directly below the number. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * exclude: tax-app from throughput analysis (import-dominated history) tax-app's history is one commit of 104K logical lines — an initial import of a codebase, not authored work. Removing it to keep the comparison honest. Changes: - scripts/garry-output-comparison.ts: added EXCLUDED_REPOS constant with tax-app + a one-line rationale. The script now skips excluded repos with a stderr note and deletes any stale output JSON so aggregation loops don't pick up pre-exclusion numbers. - README hero: updated to 810× run rate + 240× YTD (were 880×/260×). Wording updated to "40 public + private repos ... after excluding repos dominated by imported code." - docs/ON_THE_LOC_CONTROVERSY.md: updated all numbers, added an "Exclusions" paragraph explaining tax-app, removed tax-app from the "shipped not WIP" example list. New numbers (2026 through day 108, without tax-app): - To-date: 240× logical SLOC (1,233,062 vs 5,143) - Run rate: 810× per-day pace (11,417 vs 14 logical/day) - Annualized: ~4.2M logical lines projected Future re-runs automatically skip tax-app. Add more exclusions to EXCLUDED_REPOS at the top of the script with a one-line rationale. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: correct tax-app exclusion rationale tax-app is a demo app I built for an upcoming YC channel video, not an "import-dominated history" as the previous commit claimed. Excluded because it's not production shipping work, not because of an import commit. Updated rationale in scripts/garry-output-comparison.ts's EXCLUDED_REPOS constant, in docs/ON_THE_LOC_CONTROVERSY.md's method section + conclusion, and in the README hero wording ("one demo repo" vs the earlier "repos dominated by imported code"). Numbers unchanged — the exclusion itself is the same, just the reason. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: harden ON_THE_LOC_CONTROVERSY against Cramer + neckbeard critiques Reframes the thesis as "engineers can fly now" (amplification, not replacement) and fortifies the soft spots critics will attack. Added: - Flight-thesis opener: pilot vs walker, leverage not replacement. - Second deflation layer for AI verbosity (on top of NCLOC). Headline moves from 810x to 408x after generous 2x AI-boilerplate cut, with explicit sensitivity analysis showing the number is still large under pessimistic priors (5x → 162x, 10x → 81x, 100x impossible). - Weekly distribution check (kills "you had one burst week" attack). - Revert rate (2.0%) and post-merge fix rate (6.3%) with OSS comparables (K8s/Rails/Django band). Addresses "where are your error rates" directly. - Named production adoption signals (gstack 1000+ installs, gbrain beta, resend_robot paying API) with explicit concession that "shipped != used at scale" for most of the corpus. - Harder steelman: 5 specific concessions with quantified pivot points (e.g., "if 2013 baseline was 3.5x higher, 810x → 228x, still high"). Removed factual error: Posterous acquisition paragraph (Garry had already left Posterous by 2011, so the "Twitter bought our private repos" excuse for the 2013 corpus gap doesn't apply). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: update gstack/gbrain adoption numbers in LOC controversy post gstack: "1,000+ distinct project installations" → "tens of thousands of daily active users" (telemetry-reported, community tier, opt-in). gbrain: "small set of beta testers" → "hundreds of beta testers running it live." Both are the accurate current numbers. The concession paragraph below (about shipped != adopted at scale for the long-tail repos) still reads correctly since it's about the corpus as a whole, not gstack/gbrain specifically. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: reframe reproducibility note as OSS breakout flex "You'd need access to my private repos" → "Bookface and Posthaven are private, but gstack and gbrain are open-sourced with tens of thousands of GitHub stars and tens of thousands of confirmed regular users, among the most-used OSS projects in the world that didn't exist three months ago." Keeps the `gh repo list` command at the end for the actual reproducibility instruction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * Rewrite LOC controversy post - Lead with concession (LOC is garbage, do the math anyway) - Preempt 14 lines/day meme with historical baselines (Brooks, Jones, McConnell) - Remove 'neckbeard' language throughout - Add slop-scan story (Ben Vinegar, 5.24 → 1.96, 62% cut) - David Cramer GUnit joke - Add testing philosophy section (the real unlock) - ASCII weekly distribution chart - gstack telemetry section with real numbers (15K installs, 305K invocations, 95.2% success) - Top skills usage chart - Pick-your-priors paragraph moved earlier (the killer) - Sharper close: run the script, show me your numbers * docs: four precision fixes on LOC controversy post 1. Citation fix. Kernighan didn't say anything about LOC-as-metric (that's the famous "aircraft building by weight" quote, commonly misattributed but actually Bill Gates). Replaced "Kernighan implied it before that" with the real Dijkstra quote ("lines produced" vs "lines spent" from EWD1036, with direct link) + the Gates quote. Verified via web search. 2. Slop-scan direction clarified. "(highest on his benchmark)" was ambiguous — could read as a brag. Now: "Higher score = more slop. He ran it on gstack and we scored 5.24, the worst he'd measured at the time." Then the 62% cut lands as an actual win. 3. Prose/chart skill-usage ordering now matches. Added /plan-eng-review (28,014) to the prose list so it doesn't conflict with the chart below it. 4. Cut the "David — I owe you one / GUnit" insider joke. Most readers won't connect Cramer → Sentry → GUnit naming. Ends the slop-scan paragraph on the stronger line: "Run `bun test` and watch 2,000+ tests pass." Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: tighten four LOC post citations to match primary sources 1. Bill Gates quote: flagged as folklore-grade. Was "Bill Gates put it more memorably" (firm attribution). Now "The old line (widely attributed to Bill Gates, sourcing murky) puts it more memorably." The quote stands; honesty about attribution avoids the same misattribution trap we just fixed for Kernighan. 2. Capers Jones: "15-50 across thousands of projects" → "roughly 16-38 LOC/day across thousands of projects" — matches his actual published measurements (which also report as 325-750 LOC/month). 3. Steve McConnell: "10-50 for finished, tested, delivered code" was folklore. Replaced with his actual project-size-dependent range from Code Complete: "20-125 LOC/day for small projects (10K LOC) down to 1.5-25 for large projects (10M LOC) — it's size-dependent, not a single number." 4. Revert rate comparison: "Kubernetes, Rails, and Django historically run 1.5-3%" was unsourced. Replaced with "mature OSS codebases typically run 1-3%" + "run the same command on whatever you consider the bar and compare." No false specificity about which repos. Net: every quantitative citation in the post now matches primary-source figures or is explicitly flagged as folklore. Neckbeards can verify. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: drop Writing style section from README Was sitting in prime real estate between Quick start and Install — internal implementation detail, not something users need up-front. Existing coverage is enough: - Upgrade migration prompt notifies users on first post-upgrade run - CLAUDE.md has the contributor note - docs/designs/PLAN_TUNING_V1.md has the full design Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: collapse team-mode setup into one paste-and-go command Step 2 was three separate code blocks: setup --team, then team-init, then git add/commit. Mirrors Step 1's style now — one shell one-liner that does all three. Subshell (cd && ./setup --team) keeps the user in their repo pwd so team-init + git commit land in the right place. "Swap required for optional" moved to a one-liner below. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: move full-clone footnote from README to CONTRIBUTING The "Contributing or need full history?" note is for contributors, not for someone following the README install flow. Moved into CONTRIBUTING's Quick start section where it fits next to the existing clone command, with a tip to upgrade an existing shallow clone via \`git fetch --unshallow\`.
