Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 f8087829eb fix(make-pdf): --strict and --confidential join BOOLEAN_FLAGS; the guard test derives the set from source
Both flags are read as '=== true' booleans but were missing from
BOOLEAN_FLAGS, so 'generate --strict essay.md' still ate essay.md as the
flag's value — the exact #2514 failure the set exists to prevent. The
completeness guard hardcoded six names and could not catch it; it now
derives every boolean read from cli.ts itself (direct reads plus
booleanFlag pairs), so the next boolean flag fails the suite until it
joins the set.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 6430197131 fix(browse): xprotect heal resolves the install root via os.homedir and keeps guidance on a failed retry
With HOME unset, the global-install candidate became the RELATIVE path
.claude/skills/gstack under the daemon's cwd — often an untrusted repo being
QA'd, whose planted node_modules would then be where the heal runs the
playwright install (repo-controlled code execution). os.homedir() plus an
absolute-or-skip guard closes the class.

launchWithXProtectHeal also wraps the post-heal retry: a second classified
failure previously propagated raw, dropping the manual-remediation guidance
exactly when the automatic path had just proven insufficient.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 998aeb835f fix(codex-probe): bash-native watchdog when no timeout binary exists; negative-cache the deterministic model 400
Stock macOS ships neither coreutils gtimeout nor timeout(1); the wrapper's
fallback ran the command unwrapped, so a hung codex exec blocked the probe
and the calling workflow indefinitely. The fallback now backgrounds the
command, TERMs it at the deadline, and mirrors timeout(1)'s exit-124
contract — with the watchdog's stdout detached so an early finish never
blocks a caller's $(...) capture on the orphaned sleep.

MODEL_UNUSABLE is now negative-cached for 15 minutes (same exit-1 + hints
from cache). The deterministic 400 is config-driven, so re-probing every
preflight charged the affected user a 30s round trip plus real tokens per
review section, forever. Editing config.toml — the fix — changes the cache
signature and re-probes immediately; MODEL_PROBE_INCONCLUSIVE stays uncached.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 c10a9736b8 fix(browse): port allocator range actually stays below the ephemeral floor; terminal-agent retries a raced bind
RANDOM_PORT_MAX was 60000 while the module header documents 49152-65535 as
the pool to avoid — ~22% of allocations landed back inside it, preserving
the phantom-404 squatting class for both the daemon and the weeks-lived
terminal-agent. The cap is now 49151 and the range test pins the true
property (< 49152) instead of the old <= 60000 tautology.

terminal-agent boot also re-allocates and retries up to 5 times when
Bun.serve throws in the probe-then-bind TOCTOU window — previously a
concurrent bind killed the boot with no retry via main().catch → exit 1.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 e86dcd6a22 fix(version-bump): version-path and package-json-path pins cannot escape the repository
.gstack/version-path and .gstack/package-json-path are repo-controlled
content. A cloned repo pinning '../../victim.json' — or an in-repo symlink
pointing outside — turned a routine bump into an arbitrary file overwrite
outside the repository. assertRepoContained rejects absolute paths, lexical
.. escapes, and symlink escapes (deepest existing ancestor realpath'd, so a
not-yet-created VERSION file is checked through its parent). Lockfiles that
are symlinks resolving outside the repo are skipped with a warning instead
of written through.

Six containment tests including the not-over-broad control (subdirectory
pins keep working).

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 6bcd2ddfa4 fix(brain-sync): detector pushes only when ALL unpushed commits are its own; lock released on every exit
The unpushed-commit detector's author check was existential: any bot-authored
commit in origin/<branch>..HEAD armed a push of HEAD, silently publishing
interleaved user-authored commits in ~/.gstack. Now the gate requires the
author-scoped count to equal the total unpushed count — one user commit
disables the autonomous retry entirely (user commits still ride along when a
real drain pushes). Detached HEAD is excluded (origin/HEAD usually resolves,
making the retry a 10-minutely doomed push).

The lock-release trap now installs immediately after lock acquisition instead
of after the empty-queue fast path — the steady state at every skill boundary
leaked the lock dir and relied on stale-PID detection, which PID reuse defeats.
An INT during the detector's network push is covered too.

Matrix test: interleaved user commit blocks the detector, then a real drain
delivers everything.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 dcc6e9e323 fix(extension): remove the orphaned security-banner block; repair two dead CSS tokens
Design-review findings. The 197-line .security-banner component (incl. its
keyframes) had no producer — no JS has created the element since the
chat-path rip, the same dead-hidden-security-UI class as the #2557 shield
this wave removed; a tombstone comment points at git history if the banner
UX returns. Two pre-existing token bugs in the mem-toast styles: --zinc-700
was never defined so the button hover computed to transparent (now carries a
fallback), and --font-sans doesn't exist (now --font-system, which :root
defines).

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 65fd3e8843 fix(version-bump): JSON version-paths get the npm translation; honest recovery messages
Review-army findings. A repo whose package.json carries the legacy 4-digit
mirror and pins it via .gstack/version-path would get "1.67.0.1" written into
a manifest npm rejects forever, with no drift state to catch it (a JSON
source is self-consistent by construction) — the JSON branch now writes the
npm-valid translation, warns when translation occurred, and surfaces the
requested form. Lockfile-failure messages now match reality per failure
point: classify never reads lockfiles, so "re-run and repair" was a false
promise when package.json was written and only the lockfile threw. Both
malformed-version messages read MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[.MICRO], matching the
3-digit contract this wave ships.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 4bc5b4caf3 fix(brain-sync): throttle + bound the detector push; empty-queue fast path
Review-army findings on the #2549 detector. (1) The preamble runs --once at
every skill boundary, so an unthrottled retry paid a full network push
attempt per boundary in exactly the steady states it targets (offline,
broken auth) — a captive-portal push can block 30-75s against the header's
"<1s when idle" promise. Attempts now stamp .brain-last-push-attempt and
retry at most every 10 minutes; the push never prompts (GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0)
and bounds stalled transfers via git's low-speed limits (portable — stock
macOS has no timeout binary). (2) Author-scoped: only gstack-brain-sync's own
commits retry; a user's manual commit in ~/.gstack rides along on real drains
as before, never auto-published by the detector. (3) Empty-queue fast path
exits before the compute/rewrite python spawns — the steady state is now
cheaper than the pre-wave truncation code. (4) The queue rewrite warns on
failure instead of silently letting the status claim a drain that didn't
happen, counts held unparseable lines, and collapses duplicate lines on
rewrite. Throttle + delivery matrix cases added (37/37).

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 415a866a4e fix(test): the cache-hygiene test strips ambient GSTACK_PROJECT_SLUG
Its env-less contract must be env-less: any ambient override leaking into a

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 bd0cdbbf19 fix(test): pin GSTACK_HOME in the slug walk-up cache tests
The cache dir became GSTACK_HOME-aware; these tests seed and assert cache
files under a temp HOME but spread the ambient env, so a sibling test
leaking process.env.GSTACK_HOME in a shared-process shard pointed the bin at
a different cache than the one under assertion (AC-2/AC-6 failed in shard
context, passed solo). The env now pins GSTACK_HOME to the temp home —
verified identical results with and without a simulated ambient leak.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 5af4a03b13 fix(slug): env-override runs never persist to the cwd cache; cache is GSTACK_HOME-aware
Found while closing the wave's eval gate: a test exporting
GSTACK_PROJECT_SLUG from the repo root persisted the override into the cwd
slug cache, silently rebinding the ENTIRE repo's session state (evals,
decisions, timelines) to the test's slug for every later env-less run. The
escape hatch is per-invocation by contract — it no longer writes the cache.
The cache dir also hardcoded $HOME while lib/bin-context.ts's native port
(#2561) reads it GSTACK_HOME-aware, so temp-home test runs littered the real
~/.gstack (observed: 2,528 stale temp-cwd entries, swept). Writer and reader
now key the same GSTACK_HOME-aware cache; regression tests pin both
behaviors.

Also raises the cso --diff eval budget (240s/25t → 360s/40t):
transcript-verified, the wave's legitimately-grown audit session completes
the report and dies in closing telemetry at ~215s under the old budget; the
full-audit sibling already runs at 300s.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 54ca64b11f fix(test): sync ios-qa fixture mirrors with the #2585 DEBUG-guard templates
The #2585 absorb updated DebugBridgeTouch.m.template and
Package.swift.template but not their FixtureApp mirrors, failing the
template↔fixture parity gate. DebugBridgeTouch.m syncs byte-for-byte; the
fixture Package.swift takes only the template's new cSettings DEBUG define on
the Touch target (the fixture's own testTarget is fixture-only content the
parity normalization deliberately ignores — a naive full copy breaks the
XCTest invariant). 23/23 including the real swift build.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 a2c1dff78b fix(test): assemble redact fixtures at runtime — the guard caught its own wave
The pre-push redact guard BLOCKED this branch's first push: the wave's new
scan-range tests carried live-FORMAT fake credentials as literals (3 AWS key
shapes + a password-bearing DB URL), and the guard scans pushed diff bytes.
Same dogfood moment as the v1.64 wave, same rule: assemble the fixture at
runtime so the diff never carries a credential shape, never bypass the guard.
Runtime strings stay live-format for the hook under test. The guard works.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 fb66780112 fix(test): honest budget for the suite's one headed persistent-context launch
The launchHeaded/handoff parity test cold-launches a HEADED Chromium — 8-25s
on macOS, worse on the first launch of a freshly downloaded bundle (XProtect
scans it, the #2554 class) and under shard concurrency. bun's 5s default made
it the suite's most reliable false negative: it timed out identically on the
pre-wave baseline run of pristine main. 45s budget; passes 15/15.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 4da5be24a6 fix(test): scope rendered-output tripwires to repo sources; stop cdp-e2e's env leak
Two hermeticity holes surfaced by the wave's final gate. (1) The three T6
tripwires (branch-slug, codex-flag, empty-find) enumerated the whole tree
including the workspace-local .claude/ install, which is not generated
output and can carry dangling symlinks from unrelated sessions — one ENOENT
there failed all three. They now scan repo sources only. (2)
browse/test/cdp-e2e.test.ts mutated process.env.GSTACK_HOME at module scope
without restore; in one-process shard runs that leaks into every later test
file — observed baking cdp-e2e's temp render path into artifacts that
outlived it (53 dangling SKILL.md symlinks in a workspace install). The
original value is now restored in afterAll. The exact test that performed
the polluted relink remains unattributed; both known leak vectors are
closed and the workspace was repaired via an explicit gstack-relink.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 8abf7cf082 deps: remove unused puppeteer-core; bump transformers/marked/socks
Completes the #2582 split (ENG-OV8). puppeteer-core had ZERO imports
repo-wide — a dead direct dependency whose only footprint was its CVE-prone
transitive chain (puppeteer-core > @puppeteer/browsers > proxy-agent >
get-uri > basic-ftp) and the pin test + basic-ftp override that existed
solely to guard it. Removing the dependency removes the surface: the
basic-ftp override and test/basic-ftp-security-pin.test.ts retire with it
(the lockfile resolves zero basic-ftp copies now). transformers ^4.2.0,
marked ^18.0.9, socks ^2.8.9 land per the dependabot group, gated on the
ONNX sidecar load+classify smoke passing with the bumped transformers
(28/28 sidecar+classifier+security tests green post-bump).

74ddc7ad25 fix(deps): force adm-zip past CVE-2026-39244 via an override
Re-derived from PR #2485 as a resolution override rather than its direct-dep
bump: adm-zip reaches the tree only transitively (onnxruntime-node pins
^0.5.16), so a top-level copy at 0.6.0 would leave onnxruntime-node loading
the vulnerable 0.5.17 — which is exactly what the scanner PR's own lockfile
showed. The override forces every resolution to ^0.6.0.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 e5610e4bba fix(gbrain-install): name the real fix when an npm-installed bun breaks the shim
Fixes #2487. `npm i -g bun` puts POSIX/cmd/ps1 shims on %PATH% but never
bun.exe — and the gbrain.exe shim that `bun link` generates resolves bun.exe
specifically, so link succeeds and every gbrain call dies with bun's
misleading "bun is not installed in %PATH%" (which suggests installing a
second parallel bun). The D19 validation failure paths now detect the
condition on Windows and print the actual remediation: bun's own
process.execPath IS the hidden bun.exe — add its directory to PATH.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 87c2583ff1 fix(sync-gbrain): dream pack-capability WARN anchors to the graph phase
Fixes #2341. classifyDreamOutcome matched the bare phrase "does not declare
this phase", but gbrain's only emitters are the CONTENT phases
(extract_atoms, synthesize_concepts) — which the default base packs
legitimately skip while resolve_symbol_edges still runs. Every base-pack
brain therefore got the pack-capability WARN with its wrong, costly
remediation ("switch schema packs"), masking real graph problems. The match
now anchors to the graph phase (resolve_symbol_edges/extract_code_symbols);
a base-pack run with a built graph is clean, and a resolved-0 run gets the
honest 0-edge diagnosis.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 0f6e471ae8 fix(test): update four main-side gen-skill-docs assertions to the T6 contracts
Three contracts moved under this theme and the assertions pinned the old
shapes:

- The routing-probe assertion expected the single-file
  'grep ... CLAUDE.md' shape; #2500 made the probe iterate CLAUDE.md AND
  AGENTS.md, so it now asserts the for-loop + quoted $_RF shape.
- The three Claude-output Codex-path bans tripped on ~/.codex/config.toml,
  which the shared codexPreflight's model_unusable branch (#2477) now
  documents in rendered output. That path is the Codex CLI's own config
  file — the same user-facing class as the already-exempt
  ~/.codex/sessions/ — so it is scrubbed before the host-path ban, with the
  reasoning recorded next to the existing exemptions.

504409d75b fix(build): convert MSYS paths for Bun in the Windows server-bundle build (#2452)
browse/scripts/build-node-server.sh resolves GSTACK_DIR with pwd, which
under MSYS/Git Bash yields a /c/... style absolute path that Bun cannot
open ('FileNotFound opening root directory') — the Windows Node-server
bundle build died at the first bun build. Convert via cygpath -m on
MINGW/MSYS/CYGWIN before deriving SRC_DIR/DIST_DIR.

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

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 ae47c29b82 fix(review): skip nested codex spawns when already running under a Codex host (#2519)
/review executed inside a Codex host spawned the codex specialist passes
anyway — the same model reviewing itself, at multiplied cost (observed:
15M tokens for a single /review).

Detection per maintainer decision 7: a presence probe of the Codex session
env. A live Codex session exports CODEX_THREAD_ID and CODEX_SANDBOX into
every shell it spawns — verified during implementation against a live
`codex exec 'env | grep -i codex'` capture on codex 0.147.0
(CODEX_THREAD_ID, CODEX_SANDBOX=seatbelt, CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED=1,
CODEX_CI=1). The shared codexPreflight in scripts/resolvers/constants.ts
(consumed by all three review.ts army blocks: adversarial, codex plan
review, codex doc review) now yields CODEX_MODE=under_codex and instructs
exactly one printed notice — '[running under Codex — nested codex passes
skipped; set GSTACK_FORCE_CODEX_REVIEW=1 to force]'. The override env var
forces the nested passes for users who really want them. codex/SKILL.md.tmpl
Step 0.5 gains the same probe: /codex under a Codex host stops with a
one-line notice, since its whole value is a SECOND model's opinion.

test/codex-under-codex-detection.test.ts runs the rendered preflight bash
under all four env combinations (thread-id only, sandbox only, forced,
clean) and asserts the probe + notice render in the three preflight

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 73c96f9c12 feat(codex): model round-trip probe — an unusable configured model fails fast with guidance (#2477)
The auth probe accepts 'auth exists' as readiness, but a ChatGPT account
with a stale model pin in ~/.codex/config.toml passes it and then EVERY
mode dies with an HTTP 400 ('The <model> model is not supported when using
Codex with a ChatGPT account') and no pointer to where the model came from
— one report burned ~40 minutes and four invocations plus a strings dump
of the binary before finding the one-line config fix.

bin/gstack-codex-probe gains _gstack_codex_model_probe: a short
codex exec 'reply OK' round trip with the configured model, gated behind
the cheap auth probe at all three preflight sites (codex Step 0.5, the
shared codexPreflight in scripts/resolvers/constants.ts — which grows a
model_unusable CODEX_MODE branch — and autoplan's availability chain).
Verdicts: MODEL_OK (cached 1h, keyed on config.toml + auth.json mtimes so
a pin edit or re-login re-probes immediately), MODEL_UNUSABLE (exit 1,
prints the rejection plus HINTs at the model= pin and the
[notice.model_migrations] table), MODEL_PROBE_INCONCLUSIVE (timeout or
transient: FAIL-OPEN so network luck never wedges codex mode).

The 'Model not supported (HTTP 400)' Error Handling entry already shipped
in v1.64.0.0; Step 0.5's prose now routes MODEL_UNUSABLE to it.

test/codex-model-probe.test.ts drives all four behaviors against a stubbed
codex binary (invocation-counted cache hit, hint content, fail-open
polarity, mtime invalidation).

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 63e2b7ac2c fix(ship): review fix loop stays in one invocation, bounded at 3 cycles (#2391)
The pre-landing review committed its fixes, then STOPPED and told the user
to run /ship again — 5-10 manual invocations on a branch with a few
auto-fixable findings, violating /ship's fully-automated contract. There is
no user decision between those invocations; each rerun just repeats the
workflow until a review pass produces no fixes.

ship/sections/review-army.md.tmpl item 7 now makes the loop explicit: after
committing fixes, re-run the test suite (Step 5) and this review (Step 9
items 2-6) in the SAME invocation, repeating until one full pass applies
zero fixes, then continue to Step 12. Bounded at 3 fix cycles — a review
that will not converge STOPs with a report of which findings keep
reappearing (a genuine blocker), never with a rerun request.

test/ship-review-loop.test.ts asserts no rendered ship surface (section +
all three host goldens) carries the STOP-and-rerun shape and that the
bounded loop language renders.

a8d9cf9ef4 fix(resolvers): slug-canonical branch form in file-path positions (#2550, #1851)
Branch-name-to-filename had incompatible rules across writer and readers:
gstack-review-log WRITES <branch>-reviews.jsonl with the gstack-slug
canonical form (tr '/' '-' then tr -cd 'a-zA-Z0-9._-', bin/gstack-slug:178),
but Context Recovery PROBED it with raw $_BRANCH from git branch
--show-current — so for any branch containing a '/' the REVIEWS line never
fired (#1851's reader half of #1127). The probe now uses ${BRANCH:-unknown},
the canonical value the gstack-slug eval on the block's first line already
sets. review.ts's plan content-search BRANCH gains the missing tr -cd half
so it matches the same canonical pipeline.

Full audit of the 5 raw $_BRANCH interpolation sites in scripts/resolvers/
(E3): generate-context-recovery.ts:16 (reviews.jsonl path) -> canonical
BRANCH; :19/:21 (timeline.jsonl content greps) KEEP raw $_BRANCH because the
timeline writer (preamble's gstack-timeline-log call) stores the raw branch
in the "branch" field — slugging the reader would break that pairing;
generate-preamble-bash.ts:29 (display echo) and :97 (timeline data write)
keep raw by design. The *-$BRANCH-design-*.md family (review.ts:313 + 3
plan-review templates) is a consistent tr '/' '-' writer/reader pair and is
deliberately untouched.

test/branch-slug-hygiene.test.ts pins the discipline: a rendered-output
sweep forbids raw $_BRANCH adjacent to a path separator or as a filename
prefix in ANY generated SKILL.md/section, and a live round-trip on a
feat/slash branch proves gstack-review-log's write is found by the rendered
probe (with the raw-form shape as a negative control).

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 96c22cbd21 fix(question-tuning): interpolate the absolute question-registry path (#2489)
The Question Tuning preamble pointed agents at a RELATIVE
scripts/question-registry.ts in the same sentence whose ${bin} path renders
absolute. Agents run with cwd in the USER'S project — the relative lookup
never resolves, silently fails, and the documented {skill}-{slug} fallback
fabricates a singleton question_id every time (one observed
/plan-eng-review session: 21/21 unregistered ids, so no per-question
preference can ever attach).

The resolver now interpolates ctx.paths.skillRoot the way sibling resolvers
interpolate bin paths: ~/.claude/skills/gstack/scripts/question-registry.ts
on Claude, $GSTACK_ROOT/scripts/question-registry.ts on env-var hosts.

test/question-tuning-registry-path.test.ts asserts the rendered path per
host, forbids the bare relative shape, and checks the target file exists in
the install tree.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 a9ca914f43 fix(codex): retire deprecated web-search flag behind one CODEX_WEB_SEARCH_FLAG constant (#2525)
codex >=0.144 deprecates the legacy --enable-based web_search_cached
spelling (web search is on by default; --enable <FEATURE> now means
-c features.<name>=true, verified against codex 0.147.0's exec --help).
Every gstack codex invocation now passes -c 'web_search="cached"' instead.

The flag previously lived inline at 19 raw sites. Per ENG-OV11a the 10
template-inline sites (autoplan/SKILL.md.tmpl x4, codex/SKILL.md.tmpl x6)
convert to a shared {{CODEX_WEB_SEARCH_FLAG}} token first, so ONE resolver
constant (CODEX_WEB_SEARCH_FLAG in scripts/resolvers/constants.ts) now
covers all sites: review.ts x5, design.ts x3, the token resolver in
utility.ts, and the tool-map helper comment.

codex/SKILL.md.tmpl's web-search prose guarantee is corrected: the -c form
explicitly overrides a top-level web_search config (the legacy flag yielded
to it), and native codex review disables web search regardless of
configuration, so the flag is a no-op on the default Review path.

test/codex-web-search-flag.test.ts is the safety net: repo-wide grep
tripwires assert NO rendered SKILL.md/section/golden and NO source file
carries the deprecated spelling, and that the token resolves in rendered
output.

08bff7ef25 fix(resolvers): empty find must not fall through to cwd (#2483)
find ... | xargs ls -t runs ls with NO operands when find matches nothing —
GNU xargs still invokes the command once, and ls -t with no operands lists
the current directory. Three sites misfired on fresh installs (no ceo-plans /
checkpoints / plans yet), exactly where a wrong answer is least likely to be
recognized: review.ts's plan fallback silently adopted a random cwd .md as
"the plan", and Context Recovery listed unrelated cwd files as RECENT
ARTIFACTS / LATEST_CHECKPOINT.

All three now use xargs -r ls -t, mirroring the shape the sibling
bin/gstack-codex-session-import fix (#2482) landed with: -r pins the BSD
skip-on-empty behavior on GNU too, and BSD xargs accepts -r as a no-op.

test/empty-find-fallthrough.test.ts pins it four ways: no bare xargs ls -t
in scripts/ or bin/, both rendered Context Recovery sites guarded, a live
execution proving an empty checkpoints dir yields no checkpoint (not a decoy
cwd file), and a rendered-SKILL.md sweep.

95b66b56ca fix(preamble): probe AGENTS.md for skill routing; team-init resolves GSTACK_ROOT (#2500)
The HAS_ROUTING preamble probe only checked CLAUDE.md, so repos that route
skills via AGENTS.md (the cross-harness convention for Codex, Cursor, and
generic agent hosts) reported HAS_ROUTING: no and got nagged to create
CLAUDE.md. The probe now iterates CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md.

gstack-team-init's required-mode enforcement (the CLAUDE.md verification
snippet and the generated .claude/hooks/check-gstack.sh) hardcoded
~/.claude/skills/gstack, false-blocking installs living at any other host's
global root or the migrated ~/.gstack/repos/gstack location. Both sites now
resolve the install root: GSTACK_ROOT env first, then every registered
host's globalRoot, then the migrated repo path. Install instructions keep
pointing at the canonical Claude location.

test/routing-probe.test.ts pins both: rendered-preamble assertions plus a
live execution of the extracted probe block (AGENTS.md-only repo => yes),
and a drift test that requires every hosts-registry globalRoot to appear in
team-init's probe list.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 436adb72d3 fix(deps): bun-patch playwright-core 1.62.1 — windowsHide at launch + taskkill (#2160, #1989)
The repo's first patchedDependencies entry. playwright-core's bundled
process launcher (lib/coreBundle.js in the 1.62.x layout) spawns browser
children without windowsHide — Node defaults it to FALSE for
child_process.spawn — so Chromium children could flash a console window on
Windows, and its force-kill path shells `taskkill /pid <pid> /T /F`
through cmd.exe with the same omission. Both sites now pass
windowsHide: true via patches/playwright-core@1.62.1.patch (generated with
`bun patch` / `bun patch --commit`).

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

Tests: playwright-core-patch 4 pass, 0 fail.

Adds Emulation.setEmulatedMedia to the deny-default CDP allowlist:
tab-scoped, trusted output (returns an empty result — no page content).
Unlocks media type/feature overrides (prefers-color-scheme,

dark-mode and a11y CSS branches are testable without a headed toggle. Like
setUserAgentOverride, the override persists on the tab until cleared with
an empty features array — noted in the entry's justification.

Registry test pins the entry (allowed + tab scope + trusted output); the

happens at /ship).

be66d4f06f fix(browse): capture browser-skill subprocess output via temp files, not pipes (core of #2559)
Under a loaded parent, the FIRST piped Bun.spawn in a process
intermittently yields an empty stderr even though the child wrote it and
exited 0 — measured identically with readers-attached-before-exit and with
a manual getReader() drain, so it's loss inside the async pipe plumbing,
not read ordering. It flaked `$B skill test` (bun test writes its banner to
stdout and the pass/fail summary to stderr, so a dropped stderr silently
degraded the result to just the banner) and would blank a skill's JSON
result on `$B skill run` while still reporting success.

New runToFiles() points the child's stdout/stderr at temp files via
Bun.file() (never raw fds — closing self-opened fds around a spawn tripped
Bun's fd bookkeeping into a stray epoll_ctl EBADF), awaits exit, then reads
the files: the kernel has flushed everything by child exit, so the
post-exit read is complete, and chatty children can't stall on a full pipe
buffer. Both handleTest and spawnSkill route through it (timeout + capped
read preserved via timeoutMs/maxStdoutBytes). Bun.spawnSync would also
capture reliably but would deadlock: a spawned skill calls back into this
same daemon on GSTACK_PORT.

The `tests passed for "<name>"` fallback is gone — a passing bun test
always prints a summary, so exit 0 with no output means the run was NOT
captured, and handleTest now throws instead of fabricating success. The
E2E assertion checks both stream halves (banner + summary + "Ran N tests")
instead of the loose alternation whose `tests passed` branch matched the
synthetic fallback vacuously. A static tripwire pins the structure:
runToFiles owns the module's ONLY Bun.spawn, and no site reads child
output via stdout:'pipe' / new Response(proc.stdout) / getReader().

Scope: the PR's repo-wide test-file sweep is deliberately not absorbed —
this is the core only, per the wave plan.

Tests: browser-skill-commands + browser-skills-e2e + browser-skill-write
74 pass, 0 fail.

f4e84b4dc9 fix(browse): remove the dead security shield + unfed /health.security (re-derived from #2557)
The sidebar's SEC shield has been dead UI since the PTY terminal rewrite:
nothing set its data-status, nothing unhid it, and the /health.security
field behind it read getStatus() off ~/.gstack/security/session-state.json
— a file whose ONLY writer (sidebar-agent.ts) was deleted with the chat
path. /health therefore reported a permanent 'inactive', or a stale
FALSE-GREEN 'protected' wherever an old state file survived on disk (a
single unit-test run was enough to plant one). A green shield sourced from
leftover state reads as "no threats detected" when the real state is "not
measured" — the same fail-open class as #2026.

Removed (dead surfaces only): the shield markup/CSS and the stale
sidepanel.js comment; the /health security field and server.ts's getStatus
import; getStatus / SecurityStatus / StatusDetail / SessionState /
read+writeSessionState (and security.ts's dead child_process import); the
session-state + getStatus unit tests — including the round-trip test that
wrote real fixture data into ~/.gstack and left /health green forever.
(The PR's security-sidepanel-dom.test.ts deletion already happened on main
via #2230; its resolveDisconnectCause guard landed via the #2085 typeof
fix. Neither re-applied.)

Kept, per ENG-OV9 — security.ts has LIVE consumers: the pure combiner
(combineVerdict + THRESHOLDS), canary utilities, and extractDomain stay;
server.ts's /pty-inject-scan L4 path (isSidecarAvailable + scanWithSidecar)
is untouched. browse/test/server-security-surface.test.ts pins BOTH
directions: the dead surface stays dead (no /health security field, no
getStatus import, no reader of the security session-state file, shield
markup gone) and the live half stays live (sidecar wiring in server.ts,
combiner/canary exports in security.ts, /health carries no token — the
v1.63 regression wall). A future re-feed from LIVE signals must update
that test deliberately rather than resurrect the state-file path.

F13 (same commit): CLAUDE.md's Sidebar security stack section, ARCHITECTURE.md's
prompt-injection Visibility + critical-constraint paragraphs, and
BROWSER.md's security section now describe the removed surfaces as history,
not live features.

Net -166 lines. Tests: server-security-surface + security +
security-adversarial(+fixes) + security-integration + server-auth 114 pass;
sidepanel-* + extension-token + extension-sender-auth 58 pass / 2 skip.

vaston-vijiandClaude Fable 5 af23375aa2 fix: raise gbrain version-probe timeout to 10s on Windows
On Windows the gbrain CLI is a .cmd shim that runs `bun run cli.ts`.
A cold spawn takes over the 2s timeout in resolveGbrainBin (warm runs
are ~700ms), so the probe times out, localEngineStatus classifies the
engine as "no-cli", and the 60s status cache then serves that false
negative to every skill preamble and sync run. /sync-gbrain skips the
memory stage with "gbrain CLI not on PATH" even though the CLI works.

Give the shim 10s of headroom, gated on NEEDS_SHELL_ON_WINDOWS so
POSIX keeps the cheap 2s probe. Applies to both resolveGbrainBin and
readGbrainVersion.

Observed on Windows 11, bun 1.3.14, gbrain 0.42.59.0.

c4e2233832 fix(browse): capture daemon stdout/stderr to browse-daemon.log + Windows polyfill spawn fixes (re-derived from #2461)
The detached daemon's stdout/stderr were wired to 'ignore' on every
platform, so every console.error('[browse] FATAL: ...') from a Chromium
crash, uncaughtException, or unhandledRejection was discarded at the OS
level — a crash-and-respawn looked identical to every other dropped
session, with nothing on disk recording why. Both spawn paths now redirect
to <stateDir>/browse-daemon.log (append mode, accumulates across respawns):
the Unix path via an fd from openDaemonLogSink(), the Windows path by
opening the fd INSIDE the node -e launcher string (an fd opened in cli.ts
would not cross the spawn boundary). Unwritable state dir falls back to
'ignore' rather than failing the launch.

Capturing daemon output is what surfaced the PR's second fix, still valid
on current main: bun-polyfill.cjs's Bun.spawn/spawnSync called Node's
child_process with a bare command name, which Windows can't resolve without
PATHEXT lookup ("spawn bun ENOENT" from the terminal-agent respawn path).
Routed through cross-spawn on win32 (now a direct dependency; already in
the tree transitively via @modelcontextprotocol/sdk) — the PR verified
empirically that shell:true does NOT neutralize cmd.exe metacharacters
reachable via `$B skill run` arg passthrough, and that Node refuses .cmd
spawns without a shell (CVE-2024-27980), so cross-spawn's combined PATHEXT
resolution + argument escaping is the only correct shape. The PR's third
fix (resolveDisconnectCause throwing "browser?.process is not a function")
already landed on main via the #2085 typeof guard — not re-applied.

F6 log hygiene (daemon-log-hygiene.test.ts): needle tests pin the log
wiring on both spawn paths (and that stdio 'ignore','ignore','ignore'
never returns), that bun-polyfill stays on cross-spawn with no shell:true,
that NO console.* call in src/ passes a token value (interpolated or bare
arg), and that the page-content carrier modules (tab-session, buffers,
content-security, activity) stay console-free — so neither AUTH_TOKEN nor
unsanitized page-derived strings can reach browse-daemon.log.

Tests: daemon-log-hygiene + bun-polyfill + windows-spawn-hide +
cli-setsid-daemonize 21 pass; stop-dead-daemon + busy-daemon-iron-rule
(exercises a REAL daemon boot through the new log-fd wiring) 10 pass.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 0d4d554e13 fix(browse): terminal-agent allocates from the fixed port scan range, not port:0 (#2314)
The terminal-agent bound `Bun.serve({ port: 0 })` and kept that OS-assigned
port for its whole (weeks-long) lifetime. `port: 0` draws from the OS
EPHEMERAL range (49152-65535 on macOS) — the exact pool every short-lived
`app.listen(0)` test server draws from — so the agent squatted ports that
test suites expected to receive and silently absorbed their traffic as
phantom 404s (two squatting daemons verified in the report).

Fix per decision 8: extract the main server's port allocation into
browse/src/port-allocator.ts (checkPortAvailable / isPortAvailable /
findAvailablePort + the 10000-60000 range constants and the actionable
sandbox-vs-occupied error formatters, all verbatim from server.ts) and make
BOTH long-lived listeners use it — server.ts's findPort is now a thin
findAvailablePort(BROWSE_PORT) wrapper, and terminal-agent's buildServer
takes a pre-allocated port from the same range. No terminal-port consumer
carries a range assumption (they read the port file), verified by grep.

Tests: terminal-agent-port-range (new — allocator stays inside
10000-60000 and below the 49152 ephemeral floor, explicit-port honored,
occupied-explicit throws, static tripwires pin no-port:0 in
terminal-agent.ts and the shared wrapper in server.ts) + findport +

dual-listener: 67 pass, 0 fail.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 908c5a6a69 fix(upgrade): /gstack-upgrade stops a stale daemon — deferring to a busy one (#2551)
A browse daemon started before an upgrade keeps serving the OLD binary's
code after `git reset --hard` + `./setup` — the running process holds the
old executable, so users on the "new" version kept getting pre-upgrade
behavior (and config-mismatch refusals against the new CLI) until they
happened to stop it by hand.

New unconditional Step 4.8 in gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md.tmpl (+ regen, same
commit): compare the running daemon's recorded binaryVersion (the
readVersionHash git-SHA the server stamps into its state file) against the
freshly built browse/dist/.version.

- Stale + responsive → `browse stop` (graceful), telling the user
  old→new hash; the next command boots a daemon on the new binary.
- Stale + BUSY → DEFER (decision 10): never kill a busy daemon during
  upgrade. Print the old→new hash and the escape hatch —
  `browse stop` when it finishes, or `browse --force-restart stop` now.
- Dead pid / matching hash / no state → silent no-op.

Tests: skill-validation + gen-skill-docs 731 pass after regen.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 5a6dd6bf88 fix(browse): stop on a dead daemon is success — never boots a daemon to stop it (#2254)
Two changes, one contract:

- Pre-server short-circuit: `browse stop` is handled BEFORE ensureServer().
  No daemon state → "nothing to stop", exit 0. Stale state (dead pid AND
  dead port) → clean the state file, exit 0. The old flow routed stop
  through ensureServer(), which started a fresh daemon + Chromium
  (multi-second boot, resource churn) purely so it could be told to shut
  down — or crashed on the stale state.
- Reconnect branch: a connection error while sending `stop` where the pid
  turns out dead (daemon died mid-flight, between the short-circuit check
  and the send) is treated as SUCCESS — the desired end state (no daemon)
  already holds — instead of the crash-restart path.

Integration tests (stop-dead-daemon.test.ts, real spawned CLI + scratch
BROWSE_STATE_FILE): stop with no state exits 0 and spawns nothing (a
spawned daemon would have written the state file); stop with a stale state
file (dead pid + verified-closed port) exits 0, cleans the state, and
spawns nothing.

Tests: stop-dead-daemon 2 pass; busy-daemon-iron-rule 8 pass;
busy-daemon-recovery 1 pass (11/11 combined).

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 e2f70f1704 fix(browse): fail-fast busy-daemon semantics — never auto-kill an alive pid, add --force-restart (#2219)
The CLI killed live-but-busy daemons: a heavy dev-mode page (cold-compiling
Next.js route, timed-out navigation still churning) kept the daemon from
answering /health longer than the old ~1s probe window (3 × 250ms), so the
connection-error path declared it dead, SIGTERMed a healthy process, and
every kill lost the session's tabs, cookies, and logins (reproduced 4/4 in
the #2219 report).

New contract (decision 9 / F10):

- probeHealthWithBackoff is budget-based: ~8s total
  (HEALTH_PROBE_TOTAL_BUDGET_MS), 500ms intervals, each probe self-bounded
  at 2s — sized to the observed busy windows.
- decideDaemonRestart (pure, exported, unit-tested) encodes the IRON RULE:
  healthy-after-probe → retry the SAME daemon; alive+unhealthy →
  "daemon busy — retry or --force-restart" + NONZERO exit, daemon untouched;
  only a DEAD pid (or an explicit --force-restart) reaches kill+restart.
- --force-restart global flag (extractGlobalFlags): the one consent path
  that replaces a live daemon, always announcing the state it costs.
- Wired at all three kill sites: sendCommand's connection-error branch,
  ensureServer's stale-state path (which previously killServer'd any alive
  pid whose single 2s health probe missed), and connect — which used to
  "Kill ANY existing server" and now refuses to replace a healthy daemon
  without 'browse disconnect' or --force-restart. pair-agent's internal
  headed switch passes --force-restart explicitly (the mode switch is that
  command's stated purpose), preserving its behavior.

E5 IRON RULE regression tests (busy-daemon-iron-rule.test.ts, real spawned
CLI + fake daemons + live sleep-pid stand-ins per the
busy-daemon-recovery.test.ts pattern): healthy daemon SURVIVES connect
(refused with guidance, pid alive, state file untouched); wedged-alive
daemon + plain command → busy report, nonzero exit, pid alive; wedged
daemon + --force-restart IS killed and a real replacement daemon serves the
command. Plus pure-function coverage of all four decision outcomes and the
~8s budget pin.

Tests: busy-daemon-iron-rule 8 pass (16.7s, includes a real daemon
lifecycle); busy-daemon-recovery + proxy-config + daemon-mismatch-refuse +
cli-lock + cli-start-final-healthcheck + cli-setsid-daemonize 39 pass.

Fixes #2219.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 7686eb212d fix(browse): windowsHide sweep — flag every residual child_process site + full-census tripwire (#2160, #2415)
Add windowsHide:true at every remaining direct child_process call in
browse/src that could flash a console window on Windows:

- project-slug.ts (execSync gstack-slug)
- browser-skills.ts (cp.spawnSync git rev-parse)
- security-sidecar-client.ts (spawn — the LONG-LIVED Node sidecar, whose
  missing flag parked a console window on the taskbar for the daemon's
  whole lifetime)
- find-security-sidecar.ts (execFileSync node --version)
- meta-commands.ts (execSync git rev-parse in inbox + the osascript
  activate call)
- browse-client.ts (cp.spawnSync git rev-parse)
- file-permissions.ts (execFileSync whoami.exe — Windows-only, ran bare)
- cli.ts (nodeSpawn osascript)

windows-spawn-hide.test.ts gains a SWEEP test on top of the existing
needles: it censuses EVERY child_process binding in src/ (static imports
incl. aliases, `await import()` / require destructures, and `import * as
cp` namespaces — 15 call sites across 10 files today) and fails CI on any
call without windowsHide within its options window. Exemptions carry
reasons — the one today is domain-skill-commands' interactive $EDITOR
spawn (stdio:'inherit'; CREATE_NO_WINDOW would detach a console editor
into an invisible console).

Tests: windows-spawn-hide 5 pass; file-permissions 19 pass; browse-client
28 pass; browser-skill-commands 29 pass (81/81 combined).

Fixes the app-side half of #2160; closes out #2415's residuals.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 7171f10364 fix(browse): isProcessAlive uses signal-0 on every platform — no more tasklist probe (#1952)
Replace the Windows tasklist shell-out in isProcessAlive with
process.kill(pid, 0), unifying all platforms on the POSIX idiom. Node maps
signal-0 to an OpenProcess existence check on Windows — and the Windows
daemon runs under Node (dist/server-node.mjs + bun-polyfill, the documented
oven-sh/bun#4253 fallback) — so the probe is portable.

Why the shell-out had to go, beyond the cosmetic conhost flash the watchdog
blinked into the foreground every 60s (#1952): a Bun.spawnSync that hits
its timeout still RETURNS with partial stdout, so the `.includes()` PID
match answered "dead" for LIVE processes under load — the false-negative
half of the #2414/#2295 leak chain. Signal 0 spawns nothing, cannot time
out, and is ~5 orders of magnitude faster (measurements in #2414). EPERM
still reports alive (process exists, we just can't signal it).

Layered on the post-#2414-absorb shape: test 3 in
process-liveness-windows.test.ts now asserts the probe is subprocess-free
on ANY platform (win32 exemption dropped), test 4's static tripwire loses
its error-handling.ts exemption (a `tasklist … PID eq` existence probe
anywhere in src/ now fails CI), and windows-spawn-hide.test.ts drops its
tasklist-in-error-handling needle (nothing spawns, which is stronger than
hiding the window).

Tests: process-liveness-windows + windows-spawn-hide + error-handling —
17 pass, 0 fail.

Fixes #1952.

b3a27173fe fix(browse): absorb #2414 residuals — EPERM-alive liveness + Windows-dead test tripwires (re-derived)
Re-derive of PR #2414 (SYKhayyat) onto current main. Most of the PR already
landed in earlier waves: the tick-derived RESPAWN_GUARD_WINDOW_MS, the
spawnTerminalAgent windowsHide flag, the process-liveness regression tests,
and the browse/test import.meta.path sweep are all on main. Two pieces
remained:

1. isProcessAlive EPERM semantics (error-handling.ts): on the signal-0 path,
   EPERM means the process EXISTS but we lack rights to signal it — that is
   ALIVE. Returning false made callers that validate liveness before killing
   (killAgentByRecord, the terminal-agent watchdog) skip the kill and respawn
   around a survivor — the self-reinforcing one-leak-per-tick chain from
   #2414/#2295. Matters for cross-user PID checks.

2. Six test/ files ADDED SINCE the PR reintroduced the exact Windows bug its
   second commit fixed: `new URL(import.meta.url).pathname` yields
   `/C:/Users/...` on Windows, so path.resolve prepends the cwd drive and
   every tripwire ENOENTs instead of asserting anything (egress-receipt,
   egress-lib, egress-receipt-wiring, gstack-egress-cli,
   pty-skill-seeding-wiring, skill-census). All six now use
   import.meta.path — Bun's absolute native path, identical arity.

The remaining #2414 piece — replacing the Windows tasklist probe with
signal-0 — lands as its own commit (#1952) on top of this shape.

Tests: the 6 touched test files 47 pass; process-liveness-windows +
error-handling 13 pass.

Re-derived from PR #2414 by @SYKhayyat. Fixes the residual of #2295.
