Garry Tan 2eb093f8c8 docs: document sidebar prompt injection defense across user docs
README adds a user-facing paragraph on the layered defense with links to
ARCHITECTURE. ARCHITECTURE gains a "Prompt injection defense (sidebar
agent)" subsection under Security model covering the L1-L6 layers, the
Bun-compile import constraint, env knobs, and visibility affordances.
BROWSER.md expands the "Untrusted content" note into a concrete
description of the classifier stack. docs/skills.md adds a defense
sentence to the /open-gstack-browser deep dive.

Garry Tan 22a4451e0e feat(v1.3.0.0): open agents learnings + cross-model benchmark skill (#1040)
* chore: regenerate stale ship golden fixtures

Golden fixtures were missing the VENDORED_GSTACK preamble section that
landed on main. Regression tests failed on all three hosts (claude, codex,
factory). Regenerated from current preamble output.

No code changes, unblocks test suite.

* feat: anti-slop design constraints + delete duplicate constants

Tightens design-consultation and design-shotgun to push back on the
convergence traps every AI design tool falls into.

Changes:
- scripts/resolvers/constants.ts: add "system-ui as primary font" to
  AI_SLOP_BLACKLIST. Document Space Grotesk as the new "safe alternative
  to Inter" convergence trap alongside the existing overused fonts.
- scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts: delete duplicate AI slop constants block
  (dead code — scripts/resolvers/constants.ts is the live source).
  Prevents drift between the two definitions.
- design-consultation/SKILL.md.tmpl: add Space Grotesk + system-ui to
  overused/slop lists. Add "anti-convergence directive" — vary across
  generations in the same project. Add Phase 1 "memorable-thing forcing
  question" (what's the one thing someone will remember?). Add Phase 5
  "would a human designer be embarrassed by this?" self-gate before
  presenting variants.
- design-shotgun/SKILL.md.tmpl: anti-convergence directive — each
  variant must use a different font, palette, and layout. If two
  variants look like siblings, one of them failed.

* feat: context health soft directive in preamble (T2+)

Adds a "periodically self-summarize" nudge to long-running skills.
Soft directive only — no thresholds, no enforcement, no auto-commit.

Goal: self-awareness during /qa, /investigate, /cso etc. If you notice
yourself going in circles, STOP and reassess instead of thrashing.

Codex review caught that fake precision thresholds (15/30/45 tool calls)
were unimplementable — SKILL.md is a static prompt, not runtime code.
This ships the soft version only.

Changes:
- scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts: add generateContextHealth(), wire into
  T2+ tier. Format: [PROGRESS] ... summary line. Explicit rule that
  progress reporting must never mutate git state.
- All T2+ skill SKILL.md files regenerated to include the new section.
- Golden ship fixtures updated (T4 skill, picks up the change).

* feat: model overlays with explicit --model flag (no auto-detect)

Adds a per-model behavioral patch layer orthogonal to the host axis.
Different LLMs have different tendencies (GPT won't stop, Gemini
over-explains, o-series wants structured output). Overlays nudge each
model toward better defaults for gstack workflows.

Codex review caught three landmines the prior reviews missed:
1. Host != model — Claude Code can run any Claude model, Codex runs
   GPT/o-series, Cursor fronts multiple providers. Auto-detecting from
   host would lie. Dropped auto-detect. --model is explicit (default
   claude). Missing overlay file → empty string (graceful).
2. Import cycle — putting Model in resolvers/types.ts would cycle
   through hosts/index. Created neutral scripts/models.ts instead.
3. "Final say" is dangerous — overlay at the end of preamble could
   override STOP points, AskUserQuestion gates, /ship review gates.
   Placed overlay after spawned-session-check but before voice + tier
   sections. Wrapper heading adds explicit subordination language on
   every overlay: "subordinate to skill workflow, STOP points,
   AskUserQuestion gates, plan-mode safety, and /ship review gates."

Changes:
- scripts/models.ts: new neutral module. ALL_MODEL_NAMES, Model type,
  resolveModel() for family heuristics (gpt-5.4-mini → gpt-5.4, o3 →
  o-series, claude-opus-4-7 → claude), validateModel() helper.
- scripts/resolvers/types.ts: import Model, add ctx.model field.
- scripts/resolvers/model-overlay.ts: new resolver. Reads
  model-overlays/{model}.md. Supports {{INHERIT:base}} directive at
  top of file for concat (gpt-5.4 inherits gpt). Cycle guard.
- scripts/resolvers/index.ts: register MODEL_OVERLAY resolver.
- scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts: wire generateModelOverlay into
  composition before voice. Print MODEL_OVERLAY: {model} in preamble
  bash so users can see which overlay is active. Filter empty sections.
- scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts: parse --model CLI flag. Default claude.
  Unknown model → throw with list of valid options.
- model-overlays/{claude,gpt,gpt-5.4,gemini,o-series}.md: behavioral
  patches per model family. gpt-5.4.md uses {{INHERIT:gpt}} to extend
  gpt.md without duplication.
- test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts: fix qa-only guardrail regex scope.
  Was matching Edit/Glob/Grep anywhere after `allowed-tools:` in the
  whole file. Now scoped to frontmatter only. Body prose (Claude
  overlay references Edit as a tool) correctly no longer breaks it.

Verification:
- bun run gen:skill-docs --host all --dry-run → all fresh
- bun run gen:skill-docs --model gpt-5.4 → concat works, gpt.md +
  gpt-5.4.md content appears in order
- bun run gen:skill-docs --model unknown → errors with valid list
- All generated skills contain MODEL_OVERLAY: claude in preamble
- Golden ship fixtures regenerated

* feat: continuous checkpoint mode with non-destructive WIP squash

Adds opt-in auto-commit during long sessions so work survives Claude
Code crashes, Conductor workspace handoffs, and context switches.
Local-only by default — pushing requires explicit opt-in.

Codex review caught multiple landmines that would have shipped:
1. checkpoint_push=true default would push WIP commits to shared
   branches, trigger CI/deploys, expose secrets. Now default false.
2. Plan's original /ship squash (git reset --soft to merge base) was
   destructive — uncommitted ALL branch commits, not just WIP, and
   caused non-fast-forward pushes. Redesigned: rebase --autosquash
   scoped to WIP commits only, with explicit fallback for WIP-only
   branches and STOP-and-ask for conflicts.
3. gstack-config get returned empty for missing keys with exit 0,
   ignoring the annotated defaults in the header comments. Fixed:
   get now falls back to a lookup_default() table that is the
   canonical source for defaults.
4. Telemetry default mismatched: header said 'anonymous' but runtime
   treated empty as 'off'. Aligned: default is 'off' everywhere.
5. /checkpoint resume only read markdown checkpoint files, not the
   WIP commit [gstack-context] bodies the plan referenced. Wired up
   parsing of [gstack-context] blocks from WIP commits as a second
   recovery trail alongside the markdown checkpoints.

Changes:
- bin/gstack-config: add checkpoint_mode (default explicit) and
  checkpoint_push (default false) to CONFIG_HEADER. Add lookup_default()
  as canonical default source. get() falls back to defaults when key
  absent. list now shows value + source (set/default). New 'defaults'
  subcommand to inspect the table.
- scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts: preamble bash reads _CHECKPOINT_MODE
  and _CHECKPOINT_PUSH, prints CHECKPOINT_MODE: and CHECKPOINT_PUSH: so
  the mode is visible. New generateContinuousCheckpoint() section in
  T2+ tier describes WIP commit format with [gstack-context] body and
  the rules (never git add -A, never commit broken tests, push only
  if opted in). Example deliberately shows a clean-state context so
  it doesn't contradict the rules.
- ship/SKILL.md.tmpl: new Step 5.75 WIP Commit Squash. Detects WIP
  count, exports [gstack-context] blocks before squash (as backup),
  uses rebase --autosquash for mixed branches and soft-reset only when
  VERIFIED WIP-only. Explicit anti-footgun rules against blind soft-
  reset. Aborts with BLOCKED status on conflict instead of destroying
  non-WIP commits.
- checkpoint/SKILL.md.tmpl: new Step 1.5 to parse [gstack-context]
  blocks from WIP commits via git log --grep="^WIP:". Merges with
  markdown checkpoint for fuller session recovery.
- Golden ship fixtures regenerated (ship is T4, preamble change shows up).

* feat: feature discovery flow gated by per-feature markers

Extends generateUpgradeCheck() to surface new features once per user
after a just-upgraded session. No more silent features.

Codex review caught: spawned sessions (OpenClaw, etc.) must skip the
discovery prompt entirely — they can't interactively answer. Feature
discovery now checks SPAWNED_SESSION first and is silent in those.

Discovery is per-feature, not per-upgrade. Each feature has its own
marker file at ~/.claude/skills/gstack/.feature-prompted-{name}. Once
the user has been shown a feature (accepted, shown docs, or skipped),
the marker is touched and the prompt never fires again for that
feature. Future features get their own markers.

V1 features surfaced:
- continuous-checkpoint: offer to enable checkpoint_mode=continuous
- model-overlay: inform-only note about --model flag and MODEL_OVERLAY
  line in preamble output

Max one prompt per session to avoid nagging. Fires only on JUST_UPGRADED
(not every session), plus spawned-session skip.

Changes:
- scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts: extend generateUpgradeCheck() with
  feature discovery rules, per-marker-file semantics, spawned-session
  exclusion, and max-one-per-session cap.
- All skill SKILL.md files regenerated to include the new section.
- Golden ship fixtures regenerated.

* feat: design taste engine with persistent schema

Adds a cross-session taste profile that learns from design-shotgun
approval/rejection decisions. Biases future design-consultation and
design-shotgun proposals toward the user's demonstrated preferences.

Codex review caught that the plan had "taste engine" as a vague goal
without schema, decay, migration, or placeholder insertion points. This
commit ships the full spec.

Schema v1 at ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/taste-profile.json:
- version, updated_at
- dimensions: fonts, colors, layouts, aesthetics — each with approved[]
  and rejected[] preference lists
- sessions: last 50 (FIFO truncation), each with ts/action/variant/reason
- Preference: { value, confidence, approved_count, rejected_count, last_seen }
- Confidence: Laplace-smoothed approved/(total+1)
- Decay: 5% per week of inactivity, computed at read time (not write)

Changes:
- bin/gstack-taste-update: new CLI. Subcommands approved/rejected/show/
  migrate. Parses reason string for dimension signals (e.g.,
  "fonts: Geist; colors: slate; aesthetics: minimal"). Emits taste-drift
  NOTE when a new signal contradicts a strong opposing signal. Legacy
  approved.json aggregates migrate to v1 on next write.
- scripts/resolvers/design.ts: new generateTasteProfile() resolver.
  Produces the prose that skills see: how to read the profile, how to
  factor into proposals, conflict handling, schema migration.
- scripts/resolvers/index.ts: register TASTE_PROFILE and a BIN_DIR
  resolver (returns ctx.paths.binDir, used by templates that shell out
  to gstack-* binaries).
- design-consultation/SKILL.md.tmpl: insert {{TASTE_PROFILE}} placeholder
  in Phase 1 right after the memorable-thing forcing question so the
  Phase 3 proposal can factor in learned preferences.
- design-shotgun/SKILL.md.tmpl: taste memory section now reads
  taste-profile.json via {{TASTE_PROFILE}}, falls back to per-session
  approved.json (legacy). Approval flow documented to call
  gstack-taste-update after user picks/rejects a variant.

Known gap: v1 extracts dimension signals from a reason string passed
by the caller ("fonts: X; colors: Y"). Future v2 can read EXIF or an
accompanying manifest written by design-shotgun alongside each variant
for automatic dimension extraction without needing the reason argument.

* feat: multi-provider model benchmark (boil the ocean)

Adds the full spec Codex asked for: real provider adapters with auth
detection, normalized RunResult, pricing tables, tool compatibility
maps, parallel execution with error isolation, and table/JSON/markdown
output. Judge stays on Anthropic SDK as the single stable source of
quality scoring, gated behind --judge.

Codex flagged the original plan as massively under-scoped — the
existing runner is Claude-only and the judge is Anthropic-only. You
can't benchmark GPT or Gemini without real provider infrastructure.
This commit ships it.

New architecture:

  test/helpers/providers/types.ts       ProviderAdapter interface
  test/helpers/providers/claude.ts      wraps `claude -p --output-format json`
  test/helpers/providers/gpt.ts         wraps `codex exec --json`
  test/helpers/providers/gemini.ts      wraps `gemini -p --output-format stream-json --yolo`
  test/helpers/pricing.ts               per-model USD cost tables (quarterly)
  test/helpers/tool-map.ts              which tools each CLI exposes
  test/helpers/benchmark-runner.ts      orchestrator (Promise.allSettled)
  test/helpers/benchmark-judge.ts       Anthropic SDK quality scorer
  bin/gstack-model-benchmark            CLI entry
  test/benchmark-runner.test.ts         9 unit tests (cost math, formatters, tool-map)

Per-provider error isolation:
  - auth → record reason, don't abort batch
  - timeout → record reason, don't abort batch
  - rate_limit → record reason, don't abort batch
  - binary_missing → record in available() check, skip if --skip-unavailable

Pricing correction: cached input tokens are disjoint from uncached
input tokens (Anthropic/OpenAI report them separately). Original
math subtracted them, producing negative costs. Now adds cached at
the 10% discount alongside the full uncached input cost.

CLI:
  gstack-model-benchmark --prompt "..." --models claude,gpt,gemini
  gstack-model-benchmark ./prompt.txt --output json --judge
  gstack-model-benchmark ./prompt.txt --models claude --timeout-ms 60000

Output formats: table (default), json, markdown. Each shows model,
latency, in→out tokens, cost, quality (when --judge used), tool calls,
and any errors.

Known limitations for v1:
- Claude adapter approximates toolCalls as num_turns (stream-json
  would give exact counts; v2 can upgrade).
- Live E2E tests (test/providers.e2e.test.ts) not included — they
  require CI secrets for all three providers. Unit tests cover the
  shape and math.
- Provider CLIs sometimes return non-JSON error text to stdout; the
  parsers fall back to treating raw output as plain text in that case.

* feat: standalone methodology skill publishing via gstack-publish

Ships the marketplace-distribution half of Item 5 (reframed): publish
the existing standalone OpenClaw methodology skills to multiple
marketplaces with one command.

Codex review caught that the original plan assumed raw generated
multi-host skills could be published directly. They can't — those
depend on gstack binaries, generated host paths, tool names, and
telemetry. The correct artifact class is hand-crafted standalone
skills in openclaw/skills/gstack-openclaw-* (already exist and work
without gstack runtime). This commit adds the wrapper that publishes
them to ClawHub + SkillsMP + Vercel Skills.sh with per-marketplace
error isolation and dry-run validation.

Changes:
- skills.json: root manifest with 4 skills (office-hours, ceo-review,
  investigate, retro) each pointing at its openclaw/skills source.
  Each skill declares per-marketplace targets with a slug, a publish
  flag, and a compatible-hosts list. Marketplace configs include CLI
  name, login command, publish command template (with placeholder
  substitution), docs URL, and auth_check command.
- bin/gstack-publish: new CLI. Subcommands:
    gstack-publish              Publish all skills
    gstack-publish <slug>       Publish one skill
    gstack-publish --dry-run    Validate + auth-check without publishing
    gstack-publish --list       List skills + marketplace targets
  Features:
    * Manifest validation (missing source files, missing slugs, empty
      marketplace list all reported).
    * Per-marketplace auth check before any publish attempt.
    * Per-skill / per-marketplace error isolation: one failure doesn't
      abort the batch.
    * Idempotent — re-running with the same version is safe; markets
      that reject duplicate versions report it as a failure for that
      single target without affecting others.
    * --dry-run walks the full pipeline but skips execSync; useful in
      CI to validate manifest before bumping version.

Tested locally: clawhub auth detected, skillsmp/vercel CLIs not
installed (marked NOT READY and skipped cleanly in dry-run).

Follow-up work (tracked in TODOS.md later):
- Version-bump helper that reads openclaw/skills/*/SKILL.md frontmatter
  and updates skills.json in lockstep.
- CI workflow that runs gstack-publish --dry-run on every PR and
  gstack-publish on tags.

* refactor: split preamble.ts into submodules (byte-identical output)

Splits scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts (841 lines, 18 generator functions +
composition root) into one file per generator under
scripts/resolvers/preamble/. Root preamble.ts becomes a thin composition
layer (~80 lines of imports + generatePreamble).

Before:
  scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts  841 lines

After:
  scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts                                   83 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-preamble-bash.ts            97 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-upgrade-check.ts            48 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-lake-intro.ts               16 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-telemetry-prompt.ts         37 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-proactive-prompt.ts         25 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-routing-injection.ts        49 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-vendoring-deprecation.ts    36 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-spawned-session-check.ts    11 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-ask-user-format.ts          16 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-completeness-section.ts     19 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-repo-mode-section.ts        12 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-test-failure-triage.ts     108 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-search-before-building.ts   14 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-completion-status.ts       161 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-voice-directive.ts          60 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-context-recovery.ts         51 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-continuous-checkpoint.ts    48 lines
  scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-context-health.ts           31 lines

Byte-identity verification (the real gate per Codex correction):
- Before refactor: snapshotted 135 generated SKILL.md files via
  `find -name SKILL.md -type f | grep -v /gstack/` across all hosts.
- After refactor: regenerated with `bun run gen:skill-docs --host all`
  and re-snapshotted.
- `diff -r baseline after` returned zero differences and exit 0.

The `--host all --dry-run` gate passes too. No template or host behavior
changes — purely a code-organization refactor.

Test fix: audit-compliance.test.ts's telemetry check previously grepped
preamble.ts directly for `_TEL != "off"`. After the refactor that logic
lives in preamble/generate-preamble-bash.ts. Test now concatenates all
preamble submodule sources before asserting — tracks the semantic contract,
not the file layout. Doing the minimum rewrite preserves the test's intent
(conditional telemetry) without coupling it to file boundaries.

Why now: we were in-session with full context. Codex had downgraded this
from mandatory to optional, but the preamble had grown to 841 lines and
was getting harder to navigate. User asked "why not?" given the context
was hot. Shipping it as a clean bisectable commit while all the prior
preamble.ts changes are fresh reduces rebase pain later.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.19.0.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: trim verbose preamble + coverage audit prose

Compress without removing behavior or voice. Three targeted cuts:

1. scripts/resolvers/testing.ts coverage diagram example: 40 lines → 14
   lines. Two-column ASCII layout instead of stacked sections.
   Preserves all required regression-guard phrases (processPayment,
   refundPayment, billing.test.ts, checkout.e2e.ts, COVERAGE, QUALITY,
   GAPS, Code paths, User flows, ASCII coverage diagram).

2. scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-completion-status.ts Plan Status
   Footer: was 35 lines with embedded markdown table example, now 7
   lines that describe the table inline. The footer fires only at
   ExitPlanMode time — Claude can construct the placeholder table from
   the inline description without copying a literal example.

3. Same file's Plan Mode Safe Operations + Skill Invocation During Plan
   Mode sections compressed from ~25 lines combined to ~12. Preserves
   all required test phrases (precedence over generic plan mode behavior,
   Do not continue the workflow, cancel the skill or leave plan mode,
   PLAN MODE EXCEPTION).

NOT touched:
- Voice directive (Garry's voice — protected per CLAUDE.md)
- Office-hours Phase 6 Handoff (Garry's voice + YC pitch)
- Test bootstrap, review army, plan completion (carefully tuned behavior)

Token savings (per skill, system-wide):
  ship/SKILL.md           35474 → 34992 tokens (-482)
  plan-ceo-review         29436 → 28940 (-496)
  office-hours            26700 → 26204 (-496)

Still over the 25K ceiling. Bigger reduction requires restructure
(move large resolvers to externally-referenced docs, split /ship into
ship-quick + ship-full, or refactor the coverage audit + review army
into shorter prose). That's a follow-up — added to TODOS.

Tests: 420/420 pass on gen-skill-docs.test.ts + host-config.test.ts.
Goldens regenerated for claude/codex/factory ship.

* fix(ci): install Node.js from official tarball instead of NodeSource apt setup

The CI Dockerfile's Node install was failing on ubicloud runners. NodeSource's
setup_22.x script runs two internal apt operations that both depend on
archive.ubuntu.com + security.ubuntu.com being reachable:
1. apt-get update (to refresh package lists)
2. apt-get install gnupg (as a prerequisite for its gpg keyring)

Ubicloud's CI runners frequently can't reach those mirrors — last build hit
~2min of connection timeouts to every security.ubuntu.com IP (185.125.190.82,
91.189.91.83, 91.189.92.24, etc.) plus archive.ubuntu.com mirrors. Compounding
this: on Ubuntu 24.04 (noble) "gnupg" was renamed to "gpg" and "gpgconf".
NodeSource's setup script still looks for "gnupg", so even when apt works,
it fails with "Package 'gnupg' has no installation candidate." The subsequent
apt-get install nodejs then fails because the NodeSource repo was never added.

Fix: drop NodeSource entirely. Download Node.js v22.20.0 from nodejs.org as a
tarball, extract to /usr/local. One host, no apt, no script, no keyring.

Before:
  RUN curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | bash - \
      && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends nodejs ...

After:
  ENV NODE_VERSION=22.20.0
  RUN curl -fsSL "https://nodejs.org/dist/v${NODE_VERSION}/node-v${NODE_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.xz" -o /tmp/node.tar.xz \
      && tar -xJ -C /usr/local --strip-components=1 --no-same-owner -f /tmp/node.tar.xz \
      && rm -f /tmp/node.tar.xz \
      && node --version && npm --version

Same installed path (/usr/local/bin/node and npm). Pinned version for
reproducibility. Version is bump-visible in the Dockerfile now.

Does not address the separate apt flakiness that affects the GitHub CLI
install (line 17) or `npx playwright install-deps chromium` (line 33) —
those use apt too. If those fail on a future build we can address then.

Failing job: build-image (71777913820)

* chore: raise skill token ceiling warning from 25K to 40K

The 25K ceiling predated flagship models with 200K-1M windows and assumed
every skill prompt dominates context cost. Modern reality: prompt caching
amortizes the skill load across invocations, and three carefully-tuned
skills (ship, plan-ceo-review, office-hours) legitimately pack 25-35K
tokens of behavior that can't be cut without degrading quality or removing
protected content (Garry's voice, YC pitch, specialist review instructions).

We made the safe prose cuts earlier (coverage diagram, plan status footer,
plan mode operations). The remaining gap is structural — real compression
would require splitting /ship into ship-quick vs ship-full, externalizing
large resolvers to reference docs, or removing detailed skill behavior.
Each is 1-2 days of work. The cost of the warning firing is zero (it's
a warning, not an error). The cost of hitting it is ~15¢ per invocation
at worst, amortized further by prompt caching.

Raising to 40K catches what it's supposed to catch — a runaway 10K+ token
growth in a single release — without crying wolf on legitimately big
skills. Reference doc in CLAUDE.md updated to reflect the new philosophy:
when you hit 40K, ask WHAT grew, don't blindly compress tuned prose.

scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts: TOKEN_CEILING_BYTES 100_000 → 160_000.
CLAUDE.md: document the "watch for feature bloat, not force compression"
intent of the ceiling.

Verification: `bun run gen:skill-docs --host all` shows zero TOKEN
CEILING warnings under the new 40K threshold.

* fix(ci): install xz-utils so Node tarball extraction works

The direct-tarball Node install (switched from NodeSource apt in the last
CI fix) failed with "xz: Cannot exec: No such file or directory" because
Ubuntu 24.04 base doesn't include xz-utils. Node ships .tar.xz by default,
and `tar -xJ` shells out to xz, which was missing.

Add xz-utils to the base apt install alongside git/curl/unzip/etc.

* fix(benchmark): pass --skip-git-repo-check to codex adapter

The gpt provider adapter spawns `codex exec -C <workdir>` with arbitrary
working directories (benchmark temp dirs, non-git paths). Without
`--skip-git-repo-check`, codex refuses to run and returns "Not inside a
trusted directory" — surfaced as a generic error.code='unknown' that
looks like an API failure.

Benchmarks don't care about codex's git-repo trust model; we just want
the prompt executed. Surfaced by the new provider live E2E test on a
temp workdir.

* feat(benchmark): add --dry-run flag to gstack-model-benchmark

Matches gstack-publish --dry-run semantics. Validates the provider list,
resolves per-adapter auth, echoes the resolved flag values, and exits
without invoking any provider CLI. Zero-cost pre-flight for CI pipelines
and for catching auth drift before starting a paid benchmark run.

Output shape:
  == gstack-model-benchmark --dry-run ==
    prompt:     <truncated>
    providers:  claude, gpt, gemini
    workdir:    /tmp/...
    timeout_ms: 300000
    output:     table
    judge:      off

  Adapter availability:
    claude: OK
    gpt:    NOT READY — <reason>
    gemini: NOT READY — <reason>

* test: lite E2E coverage for benchmark, taste engine, publish

Fills real coverage gaps in v0.19.0.0 primitives. 44 new deterministic
tests (gate tier, ~3s) + 8 live-API tests (periodic tier).

New gate-tier test files (free, <3s total):
- test/taste-engine.test.ts — 24 tests against gstack-taste-update:
  schema shape, Laplace-smoothed confidence, 5%/week decay clamped at 0,
  multi-dimension extraction, case-insensitive matching, session cap,
  legacy profile migration with session truncation, taste-drift conflict
  warning, malformed-JSON recovery, missing-variant exit code.
- test/publish-dry-run.test.ts — 13 tests against gstack-publish --dry-run:
  manifest parsing, missing/malformed JSON, per-skill validation errors
  (missing source file / slug / version / marketplaces), slug filter,
  unknown-skill exit, per-marketplace auth isolation (fake marketplaces
  with always-pass / always-fail / missing-binary CLIs), and a sanity
  check against the real repo manifest.
- test/benchmark-cli.test.ts — 11 tests against gstack-model-benchmark
  --dry-run: provider default, unknown-provider WARN, empty list
  fallback, flag passthrough (timeout/workdir/judge/output), long-prompt
  truncation, prompt resolution (inline vs file vs positional), missing
  prompt exit.

New periodic-tier test file (paid, gated EVALS=1):
- test/skill-e2e-benchmark-providers.test.ts — 8 tests hitting real
  claude, codex, gemini CLIs with a trivial prompt (~$0.001/provider).
  Verifies output parsing, token accounting, cost estimation, timeout
  error.code semantics, Promise.allSettled parallel isolation.
  Per-provider availability gate — unauthed providers skip cleanly.

This suite already caught one real bug (codex adapter missing
--skip-git-repo-check, fixed in 5260987d).

Registered `benchmark-providers-live` in touchfiles.ts (periodic tier,
triggered by changes to bin/gstack-model-benchmark, providers/**,
benchmark-runner.ts, pricing.ts).

* fix(benchmark): dedupe providers in --models

`--models claude,claude,gpt` previously produced a list with a duplicate
entry, meaning the benchmark would run claude twice and bill for two
runs. Surfaced by /review on this branch.

Use a Set internally; return Array.from(seen) to preserve type + order
of first occurrence.

* test: /review hardening — NOT-READY env isolation, workdir cleanup, perf

Applied from the adversarial subagent pass during /review on this branch:

- test/benchmark-cli.test.ts — new "NOT READY path fires when auth env
  vars are stripped" test. The default dry-run test always showed OK on
  dev machines with auth, hiding regressions in the remediation-hint
  branch. Stripped env (no auth vars, HOME→empty tmpdir) now force-
  exercises gpt + gemini NOT READY paths and asserts every NOT READY
  line includes a concrete remediation hint (install/login/export).
  (claude adapter's os.homedir() call is Bun-cached; the 2-of-3 adapter
  coverage is sufficient to exercise the branch.)

- test/taste-engine.test.ts — session-cap test rewritten to seed the
  profile with 50 entries + one real CLI call, instead of 55 sequential
  subprocess spawns. Same coverage (FIFO eviction at the boundary), ~5s
  faster CI time. Also pins first-casing-wins on the Geist/GEIST merge
  assertion — bumpPref() keeps the first-arrival casing, so the test
  documents that policy.

- test/skill-e2e-benchmark-providers.test.ts — workdir creation moved
  from module-load into beforeAll, cleanup added in afterAll. Previous
  shape leaked a /tmp/bench-e2e-* dir every CI run.

- test/publish-dry-run.test.ts — removed unused empty test/helpers
  mkdirSync from the sandbox setup. The bin doesn't import from there,
  so the empty dir was a footgun for future maintainers.

- test/helpers/providers/gpt.ts — expanded the inline comment on
  `--skip-git-repo-check` to explicitly note that `-s read-only` is now
  load-bearing safety (the trust prompt was the secondary boundary;
  removing read-only while keeping skip-git-repo-check would be unsafe).

Net: 45 passing tests (was 44), session-cap test 5s faster, one real
regression surface covered that didn't exist before.

* docs: surface v0.19 binaries and continuous checkpoint in README

The /review doc-staleness check flagged that v0.19.0.0 ships three new CLIs
(gstack-model-benchmark, gstack-publish, gstack-taste-update) and an opt-in
continuous checkpoint mode, none of which were visible in README's Power
tools section. New users couldn't find them without reading CHANGELOG.

Added:
- "New binaries (v0.19)" subsection with one-row descriptions for each CLI
- "Continuous checkpoint mode (opt-in, local by default)" subsection
  explaining WIP auto-commit + [gstack-context] body + /ship squash +
  /checkpoint resume

CHANGELOG entry already has good voice from /ship; no polish needed.
VERSION already at 0.19.0.0. Other docs (ARCHITECTURE/CONTRIBUTING/BROWSER)
don't reference this surface — scoped intentionally.

* feat(ship): Step 19.5 — offer gstack-publish for methodology skill changes

Wires the orphaned gstack-publish binary into /ship. When a PR touches
any standalone methodology skill (openclaw/skills/gstack-*/SKILL.md) or
skills.json, /ship now runs gstack-publish --dry-run after PR creation
and asks the user if they want to actually publish.

Previously, the only way to discover gstack-publish was reading the
CHANGELOG or README. Most methodology skill updates landed on main
without ever being pushed to ClawHub / SkillsMP / Vercel Skills.sh,
defeating the whole point of having a marketplace publisher.

The check is conditional — for PRs that don't touch methodology skills
(the common case), this step is a silent no-op. Dry-run runs first so
the user sees the full list of what would publish and which marketplaces
are authed before committing.

Golden fixtures (claude/codex/factory) regenerated.

* feat(benchmark-models): new skill wrapping gstack-model-benchmark

Wires the orphaned gstack-model-benchmark binary into a dedicated skill
so users can discover cross-model benchmarking via /benchmark-models or
voice triggers ("compare models", "which model is best").

Deliberately separate from /benchmark (page performance) because the
two surfaces test completely different things — confusing them would
muddy both.

Flow:
  1. Pick a prompt (an existing SKILL.md file, inline text, or file path)
  2. Confirm providers (dry-run shows auth status per provider)
  3. Decide on --judge (adds ~$0.05, scores output quality 0-10)
  4. Run the benchmark — table output
  5. Interpret results (fastest / cheapest / highest quality)
  6. Offer to save to ~/.gstack/benchmarks/<date>.json for trend tracking

Uses gstack-model-benchmark --dry-run as a safety gate — auth status is
visible BEFORE the user spends API calls. If zero providers are authed,
the skill stops cleanly rather than attempting a run that produces no
useful output.

* docs: v1.3.0.0 — complete CHANGELOG + bump for post-1.2 scope additions

VERSION 1.2.0.0 → 1.3.0.0. The original 1.2 entry was written before I
added substantial new scope: the /benchmark-models skill, /ship Step 19.5
gstack-publish integration, --dry-run on gstack-model-benchmark, and the
lite E2E test coverage (4 new test files). A minor bump gives those
changes their own version line instead of silently folding them into
1.2's scope.

CHANGELOG additions under 1.3.0.0:
- /benchmark-models skill (new Added)
- /ship Step 19.5 publish check (new Added)
- gstack-model-benchmark --dry-run (new Added)
- Token ceiling 25K → 40K (moved to Changed)
- New Fixed section — codex adapter --skip-git-repo-check, --models
  dedupe, CI Dockerfile xz-utils + nodejs.org tarball
- 4 new test files documented under contributors (taste-engine,
  publish-dry-run, benchmark-cli, skill-e2e-benchmark-providers)
- Ship golden fixtures for claude/codex/factory hosts

Pre-existing 1.2 content preserved verbatim — no entries clobbered or
reordered. Sequence remains contiguous (1.3.0.0 → 1.1.3.0 → 1.1.2.0 →
1.1.1.0 → 1.1.0.0 → 1.0.0.0 → 0.19.0.0 → ...).

package.json and VERSION both at 1.3.0.0. No drift.

* docs: adopt gbrain's release-summary CHANGELOG format + apply to v1.3

Ported the "release-summary format" rules from ~/git/gbrain/CLAUDE.md
(lines 291-354) into gstack's CLAUDE.md under the existing
"CHANGELOG + VERSION style" section. Every future `## [X.Y.Z]` entry
now needs a verdict-style release summary at the top:
1. Two-line bold headline (10-14 words)
2. Lead paragraph (3-5 sentences)
3. "Numbers that matter" with BEFORE / AFTER / Δ table
4. "What this means for [audience]" closer
5. `### Itemized changes` header
6. Existing itemized subsections below

Rewrote v1.3.0.0 entry to match. Preserved every existing bullet in
Added / Changed / Fixed / For contributors (no content clobbered per
the CLAUDE.md CHANGELOG rule).

Numbers in the v1.3 release summary are verifiable — every row of the
BEFORE / AFTER table has a reproducible command listed in the setup
paragraph (git log, bun test, grep for wiring status). No made-up
metrics.

Also added the gbrain "always credit community contributions" rule to
the itemized-changes section. `Contributed by @username` for every
community PR that lands in a CHANGELOG entry.

* chore: remove gstack-publish — no real user need

User feedback: "i don't think i would use gstack-publish, i think we
should remove it." Agreed. The CLI + marketplace wiring was an
ambitious but speculative primitive. Zero users, zero validated demand,
and the existing manual `clawhub publish` workflow already covers the
real case (OpenClaw methodology skill publishing).

Deleted:
- bin/gstack-publish (the CLI)
- skills.json (the marketplace manifest)
- test/publish-dry-run.test.ts (13 tests)
- ship/SKILL.md.tmpl Step 19.5 — the methodology-skill publish-on-ship
  check. No target to dispatch to anymore.
- README.md Power tools row for gstack-publish

Updated:
- bin/gstack-model-benchmark doc comment: dropped "matches gstack-publish
  --dry-run semantics" reference (self-describing flag now)
- CHANGELOG 1.3.0.0 entry:
  * Release summary: "three new binaries" → "two new binaries".
    Dropped the /ship publish-check narrative.
  * Numbers table: "1 of 3 → 3 of 3 wired" → "1 of 2 → 2 of 2 wired".
    Deterministic test count: 45 → 32 (removed publish-dry-run's 13).
  * Added section: removed gstack-publish CLI bullet + /ship Step 19.5
    bullet.
  * "What this means for users" closer: replaced the /ship publish
    paragraph with the design-taste-engine learning loop, which IS
    real, wired, and something users hit every week via /design-shotgun.
  * Contributors section: "Four new test files" → "Three new test files"

Retained:
- openclaw/skills/gstack-openclaw-* skill dirs (pre-existed this PR,
  still publishable manually via `clawhub publish`, useful standalone
  for ClawHub installs)
- CLAUDE.md publishing-native-skills section (same rationale)

Regenerated SKILL.md across all hosts. Ship golden fixtures refreshed
for claude/codex/factory. 455 tests pass.

* docs(CHANGELOG): reorder v1.3 entry around day-to-day user wins

Previous entry led with internal metrics (CLIs wired to skills, preamble
line count, adapter bugs caught in CI). Useful to contributors, invisible
to users. Rewrote the release summary and Added section to lead with
what a day-to-day gstack user actually experiences.

Release summary changes:
- Headline: "Every new CLI wired to a slash command" → "Your design
  skills learn your taste. Your session state survives a laptop close."
- Lead paragraph: shifted from "primitives discoverable from /commands"
  to concrete day-to-day wins (design-shotgun taste memory, design-
  consultation anti-slop gates, continuous checkpoint survival).
- Numbers table: swapped internal metrics (CLI wiring %, test counts,
  preamble line count) for user-visible ones:
    - Design-variant convergence gate (0 → 3 axes required)
    - AI-slop font blacklist (~8 → 10+ fonts)
    - Taste memory across sessions (none → per-project JSON with decay)
    - Session state after crash (lost → auto-WIP with structured body)
    - /context-restore sources (markdown only → + WIP commits)
    - Models with behavioral overlays (1 → 5)
- "Most striking" interpretation: reframed around the mid-session
  crash survival story instead of the codex adapter bug catch.
- "What this means" closer: reframed around /design-shotgun + /design-
  consultation + continuous checkpoint workflow instead of
  /benchmark-models.

Added section — reorganized into six subsections by user value:
  1. Design skills that stop looking like AI
     (anti-slop constraints, taste engine)
  2. Session state that survives a crash
     (continuous checkpoint, /context-restore WIP reading,
     /ship non-destructive squash)
  3. Quality-of-life
     (feature discovery prompt, context health soft directive)
  4. Cross-host support
     (--model flag + 5 overlays)
  5. Config
     (gstack-config list/defaults, checkpoint_mode/push keys)
  6. Power-user / internal
     (gstack-model-benchmark + /benchmark-models skill — grouped and
     pushed to the bottom since it's more of a research tool than a
     daily workflow piece)

Changed / Fixed / For contributors sections unchanged. No content
clobbered per CLAUDE.md CHANGELOG rules — every existing bullet is
preserved, just reordered and grouped.

* docs(CHANGELOG): reframe v1.3 entry around transparency vs laptop-close

User feedback: "'closing your laptop' in the changelog is overstated, i
mean claude code does already have session management. i think the use
of the context save restore is mainly just another tool that is more in
your control instead of opaque and a part of CC." Correct. CC handles
session persistence on its own; continuous checkpoint isn't filling a
gap there, it's giving users a parallel, inspectable, portable track.

Reframed every place the old copy overstated:

- Headline: "Your session state survives a laptop close" → "Your
  session state lives in git, not a black box."
- Lead paragraph: dropped the "closing your laptop mid-refactor doesn't
  vaporize your decisions" line. Now frames continuous checkpoint as
  explicitly running alongside CC's built-in session management, not
  replacing it. Emphasizes grep-ability, portability across tools and
  branches.
- Numbers table row: "Session state after mid-refactor crash: lost
  since last manual commit → auto-WIP commits" → "Session state
  format: Claude Code's opaque session store → git commits +
  [gstack-context] bodies + markdown (parallel track)". Honest about
  what's actually changing.
- "Most striking" interpretation: replaced the "used to cost you every
  decision" framing with the real user value — session state stops
  being a black box, `git log --grep "WIP:"` shows the whole thread,
  any tool reading git can see it.
- "What this means" closer: replaced "survives crashes, context
  switches, and forgotten laptops" with accurate framing — parallel
  track alongside CC's own, inspectable, portable, useful when you
  want to review or hand off work.
- Added section: "Session state that survives a crash" subsection
  renamed to "Session state you can see, grep, and move". Lead bullet
  now explicitly notes continuous checkpoint runs alongside CC session
  management, not instead.

No content clobbered. All other bullets and sections unchanged.

* docs(CHANGELOG): correct session-state location — home dir by default, git only on opt-in

User correction: "wait is our session management really checked into
git? i don't think that's right, isn't it just saved in your home
dir?" Right. I had the location wrong. The default session-save
mechanism (`/context-save` + `/context-restore`) writes markdown
files to `~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/checkpoints/` — HOME, not git.
Continuous checkpoint mode (opt-in) is what writes git commits.
Previous copy conflated the two and implied "lives in git" as the
default state, which is wrong.

Every affected location updated:

- Headline: "lives in git, not a black box" → "becomes files you
  can grep, not a black box." Removes the false implication that
  session state lands in git by default.
- Lead paragraph: now explicitly names the two separate mechanisms.
  `/context-save` writes plaintext markdown to `~/.gstack/projects/
  $SLUG/checkpoints/` (the default). Continuous checkpoint mode
  (opt-in) additionally drops WIP: commits into the git log.
- Numbers table row: "Session state format" now reads "markdown in
  `~/.gstack/` by default, plus WIP: git commits if you opt into
  continuous mode (parallel track)." Tells the truth about which
  path is default vs opt-in.
- "Most striking" row interpretation: now names both paths. Default
  path = markdown files in home dir. Opt-in continuous mode = WIP:
  commits in project git log. Either way, plain text the user owns.
- "What this means" closer: similarly names both paths explicitly.
  "markdown files in your home directory by default, plus git
  commits if you opt into continuous mode."
- Continuous checkpoint mode Added bullet: clarifies the commits
  land in "your project's git log" (not implied to be the default),
  and notes it runs alongside BOTH Claude Code's built-in session
  management AND the default `/context-save` markdown flow.

No other bullets or sections touched. No content clobbered.

Garry Tan 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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`.

Full free test suite: 1149 pass, 0 fail, 113 skip across 28 files.

* test: end-to-end pipeline + preamble injection coverage

Added 6 tests to test/plan-tune.test.ts:

Preamble injection (3 tests):
- tier 2+ includes Question Tuning section with preference check, log,
  and user-origin gate language ('profile-poisoning defense', 'inline-user')
- tier 1 does NOT include the prose section (QUESTION_TUNING bash echo
  still fires since it's in the bash block all tiers share)
- codex host swaps binDir references to $GSTACK_BIN

End-to-end pipeline (3 tests) — real binaries working together, not mocks:
- Log 5 expand choices → --derive → profile shows scope_appetite > 0.5
  (full log → registry lookup → signal map → normalization round-trip)
- --write source: inline-tool-output rejected; --read confirms no pref
  was persisted (the profile-poisoning defense actually works end-to-end)
- Migrate a 3-session legacy file; confirm legacy gstack-builder-profile
  shim still returns SESSION_COUNT: 3, TIER: welcome_back, CROSS_PROJECT: true

test/plan-tune.test.ts now has 47 tests total.

* 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`.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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).

* 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.

* 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,

- Both calculations: to-date (260x) and run-rate (879x)
- Steelman of the critics (greenfield-vs-maintenance, survivorship bias,

* 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.

* 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.

* 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\`.

Garry Tan b805aa0113 feat: Confusion Protocol, Hermes + GBrain hosts, brain-first resolver (v0.18.0.0) (#1005)
* feat: add Confusion Protocol to preamble resolver

Injects a high-stakes ambiguity gate at preamble tier >= 2 so all
workflow skills get it. Fires when Claude encounters architectural
decisions, data model changes, destructive operations, or contradictory
requirements. Does NOT fire on routine coding.

Addresses Karpathy failure mode #1 (wrong assumptions) with an
inline STOP gate instead of relying on workflow skill invocation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add Hermes and GBrain host configs

Hermes: tool rewrites for terminal/read_file/patch/delegate_task,
paths to ~/.hermes/skills/gstack, AGENTS.md config file.

GBrain: coding skills become brain-aware when GBrain mod is installed.
Same tool rewrites as OpenClaw (agents spawn Claude Code via ACP).
GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD and GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS NOT suppressed on gbrain
host, enabling brain-first lookup and save-to-brain behavior.

Both registered in hosts/index.ts with setup script redirect messages.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: GBrain resolver — brain-first lookup and save-to-brain

New scripts/resolvers/gbrain.ts with two resolver functions:
- GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD: search brain for context before skill starts
- GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS: save skill output to brain after completion

Placeholders added to 4 thinking skill templates (office-hours,
investigate, plan-ceo-review, retro). Resolves to empty string on
all hosts except gbrain via suppressedResolvers.

GBRAIN suppression added to all 9 non-gbrain host configs.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: wire slop:diff into /review as advisory diagnostic

Adds Step 3.5 to the review template: runs bun run slop:diff against
the base branch to catch AI code quality issues (empty catches,
redundant return await, overcomplicated abstractions). Advisory only,
never blocking. Skips silently if slop-scan is not installed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add Karpathy compatibility note to README

Positions gstack as the workflow enforcement layer for Karpathy-style
CLAUDE.md rules (17K stars). Links to forrestchang/andrej-karpathy-skills.
Maps each Karpathy failure mode to the gstack skill that addresses it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: improve native OpenClaw thinking skills

office-hours: add design doc path visibility message after writing
ceo-review: add HARD GATE reminder at review section transitions
retro: add non-git context support (check memory for meeting notes)

Mirrors template improvements to hand-crafted native skills.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: update tests and golden fixtures for new hosts

- Host count: 8 → 10 (hermes, gbrain)
- OpenClaw adapter test: expects undefined (dead code removed)
- Golden ship fixtures: updated with Confusion Protocol + vendoring

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate all SKILL.md files

Regenerated from templates after Confusion Protocol, GBrain resolver
placeholders, slop:diff in review, HARD GATE reminders, investigation
learnings, design doc visibility, and retro non-git context changes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update project documentation for v0.18.0.0

- CHANGELOG: add v0.18.0.0 entry (Confusion Protocol, Hermes, GBrain,
  slop in review, Karpathy note, skill improvements)
- CLAUDE.md: add hermes.ts and gbrain.ts to hosts listing
- README.md: update agent count 8→10, add Hermes + GBrain to table
- VERSION: bump to 0.18.0.0

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: sync package.json version to 0.18.0.0

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: extract Step 0 from review SKILL.md in E2E test

The review-base-branch E2E test was copying the full 1493-line
review/SKILL.md into the test fixture. The agent spent 8+ turns
reading it in chunks, leaving only 7 turns for actual work, causing
error_max_turns on every attempt.

Now extracts only Step 0 (base branch detection, ~50 lines) which is
all the test actually needs. Follows the CLAUDE.md rule: "NEVER copy
a full SKILL.md file into an E2E test fixture."

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: update GBrain and Hermes host configs for v0.10.0 integration

GBrain: add 'triggers' to keepFields so generated skills pass
checkResolvable() validation. Add version compat comment.

Hermes: un-suppress GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD and GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS.
The resolvers handle GBrain-not-installed gracefully, so Hermes
agents with GBrain as a mod get brain features automatically.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: GBrain resolver DX improvements and preamble health check

Resolver changes:
- gbrain query → gbrain search (fast keyword search, not expensive hybrid)
- Add keyword extraction guidance for agents
- Show explicit gbrain put_page syntax with --title, --tags, heredoc
- Add entity enrichment with false-positive filter
- Name throttle error patterns (exit code 1, stderr keywords)
- Add data-research routing for investigate skill
- Expand skillSaveMap from 4 to 8 entries
- Add brain operation telemetry summary

Preamble changes:
- Add gbrain doctor --fast --json health check for gbrain/hermes hosts
- Parse check failures/warnings count
- Show failing check details when score < 50

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: preserve keepFields in allowlist frontmatter mode

The allowlist mode hard-coded name + description reconstruction but
never iterated keepFields for additional fields. Adding 'triggers'
to keepFields was a no-op because the field was silently stripped.

Now iterates keepFields and preserves any field beyond name/description
from the source template frontmatter, including YAML arrays.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add triggers to all 38 skill templates

Multi-word, skill-specific trigger keywords for GBrain's RESOLVER.md
router. Each skill gets 3-6 triggers derived from its "Use when asked
to..." description text. Avoids single generic words that would collide
across skills (e.g., "debug this" not "debug").

These are distinct from voice-triggers (speech-to-text aliases) and
serve GBrain's checkResolvable() validation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate all SKILL.md files and update golden fixtures

Regenerated from updated templates (triggers, brain placeholders,
resolver DX improvements, preamble health check). Golden fixtures
updated to match.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: settings-hook remove exits 1 when nothing to remove

gstack-settings-hook remove was exiting 0 when settings.json didn't
exist, causing gstack-uninstall to report "SessionStart hook" as
removed on clean systems where nothing was installed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update project documentation for GBrain v0.10.0 integration

ARCHITECTURE.md: added GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD and GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS
to resolver table.

CHANGELOG.md: expanded v0.18.0.0 entry with GBrain v0.10.0 integration
details (triggers, expanded brain-awareness, DX improvements, Hermes
brain support), updated date.

CLAUDE.md: added gbrain to resolvers/ directory comment.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: routing E2E stops writing to user's ~/.claude/skills/

installSkills() was copying SKILL.md files to both project-level
(.claude/skills/ in tmpDir) and user-level (~/.claude/skills/).
Writing to the user's real install fails when symlinks point to
different worktrees or dangling targets (ENOENT on copyFileSync).

Now installs to project-level only. The test already sets cwd to
the tmpDir, so project-level discovery works.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: scale Gemini E2E back to smoke test

Gemini CLI gets lost in worktrees on complex tasks (review times out
at 600s, discover-skill hits exit 124). Nobody uses Gemini for gstack
skill execution. Replace the two failing tests (gemini-discover-skill
and gemini-review-findings) with a single smoke test that verifies
Gemini can start and read the README. 90s timeout, no skill invocation.

Garry Tan 8ca950f6f1 feat: content security — 4-layer prompt injection defense for pair-agent (#815)
* feat: token registry for multi-agent browser access

Per-agent scoped tokens with read/write/admin/meta command categories,
domain glob restrictions, rate limiting, expiry, and revocation. Setup
key exchange for the /pair-agent ceremony (5-min one-time key → 24h
session token). Idempotent exchange handles tunnel drops. 39 tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: integrate token registry + scoped auth into browse server

Server changes for multi-agent browser access:
- /connect endpoint: setup key exchange for /pair-agent ceremony
- /token endpoint: root-only minting of scoped sub-tokens
- /token/:clientId DELETE: revoke agent tokens
- /agents endpoint: list connected agents (root-only)
- /health: strips root token when tunnel is active (P0 security fix)
- /command: scope/rate/domain checks via token registry before dispatch
- Idle timer skips shutdown when tunnel is active

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: ngrok tunnel integration + @ngrok/ngrok dependency

BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 env var starts an ngrok tunnel after Bun.serve().
Reads NGROK_AUTHTOKEN from env or ~/.gstack/ngrok.env. Reads
NGROK_DOMAIN for dedicated domain (stable URL). Updates state
file with tunnel URL. Feasibility spike confirmed: SDK works in
compiled Bun binary.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: tab isolation for multi-agent browser access

Add per-tab ownership tracking to BrowserManager. Scoped agents
must create their own tab via newtab before writing. Unowned tabs
(pre-existing, user-opened) are root-only for writes. Read access
always allowed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: tab enforcement + POST /pair endpoint + activity attribution

Server-side tab ownership check blocks scoped agents from writing to
unowned tabs. Special-case newtab records ownership for scoped tokens.
POST /pair endpoint creates setup keys for the pairing ceremony.
Activity events now include clientId for attribution.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: pair-agent CLI command + instruction block generator

One command to pair a remote agent: $B pair-agent. Creates a setup
key via POST /pair, prints a copy-pasteable instruction block with
curl commands. Smart tunnel fallback (tunnel URL > auto-start >
localhost). Flags: --for HOST, --local HOST, --admin, --client NAME.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: tab isolation + instruction block generator tests

14 tests covering tab ownership lifecycle (access checks, unowned
tabs, transferTab) and instruction block generator (scopes, URLs,
admin flag, troubleshooting section). Fix server-auth test that
used fragile sliceBetween boundaries broken by new endpoints.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.15.9.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: CSO security fixes — token leak, domain bypass, input validation

1. Remove root token from /health endpoint entirely (CSO #1 CRITICAL).
   Origin header is spoofable. Extension reads from ~/.gstack/.auth.json.
2. Add domain check for newtab URL (CSO #5). Previously only goto was
   checked, allowing domain-restricted agents to bypass via newtab.
3. Validate scope values, rateLimit, expiresSeconds in createToken()
   (CSO #4). Rejects invalid scopes and negative values.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: /pair-agent skill — syntactic sugar for browser sharing

Users remember /pair-agent, not $B pair-agent. The skill walks through
agent selection (OpenClaw, Hermes, Codex, Cursor, generic), local vs
remote setup, tunnel configuration, and includes platform-specific
notes for each agent type. Wraps the CLI command with context.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: remote browser access reference for paired agents

Full API reference, snapshot→@ref pattern, scopes, tab isolation,
error codes, ngrok setup, and same-machine shortcuts. The instruction
block points here for deeper reading.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: improved instruction block with snapshot→@ref pattern

The paste-into-agent instruction block now teaches the snapshot→@ref
workflow (the most powerful browsing pattern), shows the server URL
prominently, and uses clearer formatting. Tests updated to match.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: smart ngrok detection + auto-tunnel in pair-agent

The pair-agent command now checks ngrok's native config (not just
~/.gstack/ngrok.env) and auto-starts the tunnel when ngrok is
available. The skill template walks users through ngrok install
and auth if not set up, instead of just printing a dead localhost
URL.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: on-demand tunnel start via POST /tunnel/start

pair-agent now auto-starts the ngrok tunnel without restarting the
server. New POST /tunnel/start endpoint reads authtoken from env,
~/.gstack/ngrok.env, or ngrok's native config. CLI detects ngrok
availability and calls the endpoint automatically. Zero manual steps
when ngrok is installed and authed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: pair-agent skill must output the instruction block verbatim

Added CRITICAL instruction: the agent MUST output the full instruction
block so the user can copy it. Previously the agent could summarize
over it, leaving the user with nothing to paste.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: scoped tokens rejected on /command — auth gate ordering bug

The blanket validateAuth() gate (root-only) sat above the /command
endpoint, rejecting all scoped tokens with 401 before they reached
getTokenInfo(). Moved /command above the gate so both root and
scoped tokens are accepted. This was the bug Wintermute hit.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: pair-agent auto-launches headed mode before pairing

When pair-agent detects headless mode, it auto-switches to headed
(visible Chromium window) so the user can watch what the remote
agent does. Use --headless to skip this. Fixed compiled binary
path resolution (process.execPath, not process.argv[1] which is
virtual /$bunfs/ in Bun compiled binaries).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: comprehensive tests for auth ordering, tunnel, ngrok, headed mode

16 new tests covering:
- /command sits above blanket auth gate (Wintermute bug)
- /command uses getTokenInfo not validateAuth
- /tunnel/start requires root, checks native ngrok config, returns already_active
- /pair creates setup keys not session tokens
- Tab ownership checked before command dispatch
- Activity events include clientId
- Instruction block teaches snapshot→@ref pattern
- pair-agent auto-headed mode, process.execPath, --headless skip
- isNgrokAvailable checks all 3 sources (gstack env, env var, native config)
- handlePairAgent calls /tunnel/start not server restart

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: chain scope bypass + /health info leak when tunneled

1. Chain command now pre-validates ALL subcommand scopes before
   executing any. A read+meta token can no longer escalate to
   admin via chain (eval, js, cookies were dispatched without
   scope checks). tokenInfo flows through handleMetaCommand into
   the chain handler. Rejects entire chain if any subcommand fails.

2. /health strips sensitive fields (currentUrl, agent.currentMessage,
   session) when tunnel is active. Only operational metadata (status,
   mode, uptime, tabs) exposed to the internet. Previously anyone
   reaching the ngrok URL could surveil browsing activity.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: tout /pair-agent as headline feature in CHANGELOG + README

Lead with what it does for the user: type /pair-agent, paste into
your other agent, done. First time AI agents from different companies
can coordinate through a shared browser with real security boundaries.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: expand /pair-agent, /design-shotgun, /design-html in README

Each skill gets a real narrative paragraph explaining the workflow,
not just a table cell. design-shotgun: visual exploration with taste
memory. design-html: production HTML with Pretext computed layout.
pair-agent: cross-vendor AI agent coordination through shared browser.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: split handleCommand into handleCommandInternal + HTTP wrapper

Chain subcommands now route through handleCommandInternal for full security
enforcement (scope, domain, tab ownership, rate limiting, content wrapping).
Adds recursion guard for nested chains, rate-limit exemption for chain
subcommands, and activity event suppression (1 event per chain, not per sub).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add content-security.ts with datamarking, envelope, and filter hooks

Four-layer prompt injection defense for pair-agent browser sharing:
- Datamarking: session-scoped watermark for text exfiltration detection
- Content envelope: trust boundary wrapping with ZWSP marker escaping
- Content filter hooks: extensible filter pipeline with warn/block modes
- Built-in URL blocklist: requestbin, pipedream, webhook.site, etc.

BROWSE_CONTENT_FILTER env var controls mode: off|warn|block (default: warn)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: centralize content wrapping in handleCommandInternal response path

Single wrapping location replaces fragmented per-handler wrapping:
- Scoped tokens: content filters + datamarking + enhanced envelope
- Root tokens: existing basic wrapping (backward compat)
- Chain subcommands exempt from top-level wrapping (wrapped individually)
- Adds 'attrs' to PAGE_CONTENT_COMMANDS (ARIA value exposure defense)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: hidden element stripping for scoped token text extraction

Detects CSS-hidden elements (opacity, font-size, off-screen, same-color,
clip-path) and ARIA label injection patterns. Marks elements with
data-gstack-hidden, extracts text from a clean clone (no DOM mutation),
then removes markers. Only active for scoped tokens on text command.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: snapshot split output format for scoped tokens

Scoped tokens get a split snapshot: trusted @refs section (for click/fill)
separated from untrusted web content in an envelope. Ref names truncated
to 50 chars in trusted section. Root tokens unchanged (backward compat).
Resume command also uses split format for scoped tokens.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add SECURITY section to pair-agent instruction block

Instructs remote agents to treat content inside untrusted envelopes
as potentially malicious. Lists common injection phrases to watch for.
Directs agents to only use @refs from the trusted INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS
section, not from page content.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add 4 prompt injection test fixtures

- injection-visible.html: visible injection in product review text
- injection-hidden.html: 7 CSS hiding techniques + ARIA injection + false positive
- injection-social.html: social engineering in legitimate-looking content
- injection-combined.html: all attack types + envelope escape attempt

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: comprehensive content security tests (47 tests)

Covers all 4 defense layers:
- Datamarking: marker format, session consistency, text-only application
- Content envelope: wrapping, ZWSP marker escaping, filter warnings
- Content filter hooks: URL blocklist, custom filters, warn/block modes
- Instruction block: SECURITY section content, ordering, generation
- Centralized wrapping: source-level verification of integration
- Chain security: recursion guard, rate-limit exemption, activity suppression
- Hidden element stripping: 7 CSS techniques, ARIA injection, false positives
- Snapshot split format: scoped vs root output, resume integration

Also fixes: visibility:hidden detection, case-insensitive ARIA pattern matching.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: pair-agent skill compliance + fix all 16 pre-existing test failures

Root cause: pair-agent was added without completing the gen-skill-docs
compliance checklist. All 16 failures traced back to this.

Fixes:
- Sync package.json version to VERSION (0.15.9.0)
- Add "(gstack)" to pair-agent description for discoverability
- Add pair-agent to Codex path exception (legitimately documents ~/.codex/)
- Add CLI_COMMANDS (status, pair-agent, tunnel) to skill parser allowlist
- Regenerate SKILL.md for all hosts (claude, codex, factory, kiro, etc.)
- Update golden file baselines for ship skill
- Fix relink tests: pass GSTACK_INSTALL_DIR to auto-relink calls so they
  use the fast mock install instead of scanning real ~/.claude/skills/gstack

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.15.12.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: E2E exit reason precedence + worktree prune race condition

Two fixes for E2E test reliability:

1. session-runner.ts: error_max_turns was misclassified as error_api
   because is_error flag was checked before subtype. Now known subtypes
   like error_max_turns are preserved even when is_error is set. The
   is_error override only applies when subtype=success (API failure).

2. worktree.ts: pruneStale() now skips worktrees < 1 hour old to avoid
   deleting worktrees from concurrent test runs still in progress.
   Previously any second test execution would kill the first's worktrees.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: restore token in /health for localhost extension auth

The CSO security fix stripped the token from /health to prevent leaking
when tunneled. But the extension needs it to authenticate on localhost.
Now returns token only when not tunneled (safe: localhost-only path).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: verify /health token is localhost-only, never served through tunnel

Updated tests to match the restored token behavior:
- Test 1: token assignment exists AND is inside the !tunnelActive guard
- Test 1b: tunnel branch (else block) does not contain AUTH_TOKEN

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add security rationale for token in /health on localhost

Explains why this is an accepted risk (no escalation over file-based
token access), CORS protection, and tunnel guard. Prevents future
CSO scans from stripping it without providing an alternative auth path.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: verify tunnel is alive before returning URL to pair-agent

Root cause: when ngrok dies externally (pkill, crash, timeout), the server
still reports tunnelActive=true with a dead URL. pair-agent prints an
instruction block pointing at a dead tunnel. The remote agent gets
"endpoint offline" and the user has to manually restart everything.

Three-layer fix:
- Server /pair endpoint: probes tunnel URL before returning it. If dead,
  resets tunnelActive/tunnelUrl and returns null (triggers CLI restart).
- Server /tunnel/start: probes cached tunnel before returning already_active.
  If dead, falls through to restart ngrok automatically.
- CLI pair-agent: double-checks tunnel URL from server before printing
  instruction block. Falls through to auto-start on failure.

4 regression tests verify all three probe points + CLI verification.

* feat: add POST /batch endpoint for multi-command batching

Remote agents controlling GStack Browser through a tunnel pay 2-5s of
latency per HTTP round-trip. A typical "navigate and read" takes 4
sequential commands = 10-20 seconds. The /batch endpoint collapses N
commands into a single HTTP round-trip, cutting a 20-tab crawl from
~60s to ~5s.

Sequential execution through the full security pipeline (scope, domain,
tab ownership, content wrapping). Rate limiting counts the batch as 1
request. Activity events emitted at batch level, not per-command.
Max 50 commands per batch. Nested batches rejected.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add source-level security tests for /batch endpoint

8 tests verifying: auth gate placement, scoped token support, max
command limit, nested batch rejection, rate limiting bypass, batch-level
activity events, command field validation, and tabId passthrough.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: correct CHANGELOG date from 2026-04-06 to 2026-04-05

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: consolidate Hermes into generic HTTP option in pair-agent

Hermes doesn't have a host-specific config — it uses the same generic
curl instructions as any other agent. Removing the dedicated option
simplifies the menu and eliminates a misleading distinction.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: bump VERSION to 0.15.14.0, add CHANGELOG entry for batch endpoint

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate pair-agent/SKILL.md after main merge

Vendoring deprecation section from main's template wasn't reflected
in the generated file. Fixes check-freshness CI.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: checkTabAccess uses options object, add own-only tab policy

Refactors checkTabAccess(tabId, clientId, isWrite) to use an options
object { isWrite?, ownOnly? }. Adds tabPolicy === 'own-only' support
in the server command dispatch — scoped tokens with this policy are
restricted to their own tabs for all commands, not just writes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add --domain flag to pair-agent CLI for domain restrictions

Allows passing --domain to pair-agent to restrict the remote agent's
navigation to specific domains (comma-separated).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* revert: remove batch commands CHANGELOG entry and VERSION bump

The batch endpoint work belongs on the browser-batch-multitab branch
(port-louis), not this branch. Reverting VERSION to 0.15.14.0.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: adopt main's headed-mode /health token serving

Our merge kept the old !tunnelActive guard which conflicted with
main's security-audit-r2 tests that require no currentUrl/currentMessage
in /health. Adopts main's approach: serve token conditionally based on
headed mode or chrome-extension origin. Updates server-auth tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: improve snapshot flags docs completeness for LLM judge

Adds $B placeholder explanation, explicit syntax line, and detailed
flag behavior (-d depth values, -s CSS selector syntax, -D unified
diff format and baseline persistence, -a screenshot vs text output
relationship). Fixes snapshot flags reference LLM eval scoring
completeness < 4.

* fix(browse): Windows launcher extraEnv + headed-mode token (#822)

Community PR #822 by @pieterklue. Three fixes:
1. Windows launcher now merges extraEnv into spawned server env (was

2. Welcome page fallback serves inline HTML instead of about:blank
   redirect (avoids ERR_UNSAFE_REDIRECT on Windows)
3. /health returns auth token in headed mode even without Origin header
   (fixes Playwright Chromium extensions that don't send it)

Also adds HOME/USERPROFILE fallback for cross-platform compatibility.

Garry Tan dae251e066 feat: team-friendly gstack install mode (v0.15.7.0) (#809)
* feat: add gstack-settings-hook for atomic Claude Code hook management

DRY helper for adding/removing SessionStart hooks in ~/.claude/settings.json.
Handles missing files, deduplication, malformed JSON, and atomic writes
(.tmp + rename) to prevent corruption on crash or disk-full.

Part of team-install-mode feature (credit: Jared Friedman).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add gstack-session-update for automatic team updates

SessionStart hook target that auto-updates gstack at session start.
Background fork (zero latency), throttled to once/hour, with lockfile
(mkdir + PID), stale lock recovery, GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0, and debug
logging to ~/.gstack/analytics/session-update.log.

Part of team-install-mode feature (credit: Jared Friedman).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add --team, --no-team, -q flags to setup

--team enables auto_upgrade and registers SessionStart hook via
gstack-settings-hook. --no-team reverses it. -q/--quiet suppresses
all informational output (for hook-triggered setup runs). --local
now prints a deprecation warning.

Replaces ~20 echo calls with log() helper for quiet mode support.

* feat: add gstack-team-init for repo-level team bootstrapping

Two modes: 'optional' (gentle CLAUDE.md suggestion) and 'required'
(CLAUDE.md enforcement + .claude/hooks/check-gstack.sh PreToolUse hook
that blocks work without gstack installed). Atomic JSON writes,
idempotent, prints git add instructions.

Garry Tan b3cd3fd68b feat: native OpenClaw skills + ClaHub publishing (v0.15.10.0) (#832)
* feat: add 4 native OpenClaw skills for ClaHub publishing

Hand-crafted methodology skills for the OpenClaw wintermute workspace:
- gstack-openclaw-office-hours (375 lines) — 6 forcing questions, startup + builder modes
- gstack-openclaw-ceo-review (193 lines) — 4 scope modes, 18 cognitive patterns
- gstack-openclaw-investigate (136 lines) — Iron Law, 4-phase debugging
- gstack-openclaw-retro (301 lines) — git analytics, per-person praise/growth

Pure methodology, no gstack infrastructure. All frontmatter uses single-line
inline JSON for OpenClaw parser compatibility.

* feat: add AGENTS.md dispatch section with behavioral rules

Ready-to-paste section for OpenClaw AGENTS.md with 3 iron-clad rules:
1. Always spawn sessions, never redirect user to Claude Code
2. Resolve repo path or ask, don't punt
3. Autoplan runs end-to-end, reports back in chat

Includes full dispatch routing (Simple/Medium/Heavy/Full/Plan tiers).

* chore: clear OpenClaw includeSkills — native skills replace generated

Native ClaHub skills replace the gen-skill-docs pipeline output for
these 4 skills. Updated test to validate empty includeSkills array.

* docs: ClaHub install instructions + dispatch routing rules

- README: add Native OpenClaw Skills section with clawhub install command
- OPENCLAW.md: update dispatch routing with behavioral rules, update
  native skills section to reference ClaHub

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.15.10.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: add gstack-upgrade to OpenClaw dispatch routing

Ensures "upgrade gstack" routes to a Claude Code session with
/gstack-upgrade instead of Wintermute trying to handle it conversationally.

* fix: stop tracking 58MB compiled binary bin/gstack-global-discover

Already in .gitignore but was tracked due to historical mistake.
Same issue as browse/dist/ and design/dist/. The .ts source is right
next to it and ./setup builds from source for every platform.

* test: detect compiled binaries and large files tracked by git

Two new tests in skill-validation:
- No Mach-O or ELF binaries tracked (catches accidental git add of compiled output)
- No files over 2MB tracked (catches bloated binaries sneaking in)

Both print the exact git rm --cached command to fix the issue.

* fix: ClaHub → ClawHub (correct spelling)

* docs: add ClawHub publishing instructions to CLAUDE.md

Documents the clawhub publish command (not clawhub skill publish),
auth flow, version bumping, and verification.

Garry Tan 04b709d91a feat: declarative multi-host platform + OpenCode, Slate, Cursor, OpenClaw (v0.15.5.0) (#793)
* test: add golden-file baselines for host config refactor

Snapshot generated SKILL.md output for ship skill across all 3 existing
hosts (Claude, Codex, Factory). These baselines verify the config-driven
refactor produces identical output to the current hardcoded system.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add HostConfig interface and validator for declarative host system

New scripts/host-config.ts defines the typed HostConfig interface that
captures all per-host variation: paths, frontmatter rules, path/tool
rewrites, suppressed resolvers, runtime root symlinks, install strategy,
and behavioral config (co-author trailer, learnings mode, boundary
instruction). Includes validateHostConfig() and validateAllConfigs() with
regex-based security validation and cross-config uniqueness checks.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add typed host configs for Claude, Codex, Factory, and Kiro

Extract all hardcoded host-specific values from gen-skill-docs.ts,
types.ts, preamble.ts, review.ts, and setup into typed HostConfig
objects. Each host is a single file in hosts/ with its paths, frontmatter
rules, path/tool rewrites, runtime root manifest, and install behavior.

hosts/index.ts exports all configs, derives the Host type, and provides
resolveHostArg() for CLI alias handling (e.g., 'agents' -> 'codex',
'droid' -> 'factory').

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: derive Host type and HOST_PATHS from host configs

types.ts no longer hardcodes host names or paths. The Host type is
derived from ALL_HOST_CONFIGS in hosts/index.ts, and HOST_PATHS is
built dynamically from each config's globalRoot/localSkillRoot/usesEnvVars.
Adding a new host to hosts/index.ts automatically extends the type system.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: gen-skill-docs.ts consumes typed host configs

Replace hardcoded EXTERNAL_HOST_CONFIG, transformFrontmatter host
branches, path/tool rewrite if-chains, and ALL_HOSTS array with
config-driven lookups from hosts/*.ts.

- Host detection uses resolveHostArg() (handles aliases like agents/droid)
- transformFrontmatter uses config's allowlist/denylist mode, extraFields,
  conditionalFields, renameFields, and descriptionLimitBehavior
- Path rewrites use config's pathRewrites array (replaceAll, order matters)
- Tool rewrites use config's toolRewrites object
- Skill skipping uses config's generation.skipSkills
- ALL_HOSTS derived from ALL_HOST_NAMES
- Token budget display regex derived from host configs

Golden-file comparison: all 3 hosts produce IDENTICAL output to baselines.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: preamble, co-author trailer, and resolver suppression use host configs

- preamble.ts: hostConfigDir derived from config.globalRoot instead of
  hardcoded Record
- utility.ts: generateCoAuthorTrailer reads from config.coAuthorTrailer
  instead of host switch statement
- gen-skill-docs.ts: suppressedResolvers from config skip resolver
  execution at placeholder replacement time (belt+suspenders with
  existing ctx.host checks in individual resolvers)

Golden-file comparison: all 3 hosts produce IDENTICAL output to baselines.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: setup tooling uses config-driven host detection

- host-config-export.ts: new CLI that exposes host configs to bash
  (list, get, detect, validate, symlinks commands)
- bin/gstack-platform-detect: reads host configs instead of hardcoded
  binary/path mapping
- scripts/skill-check.ts: iterates host configs for skill validation
  and freshness checks instead of separate Codex/Factory blocks
- lib/worktree.ts: iterates host configs for directory copy instead
  of hardcoded .agents

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add OpenCode, Slate, and Cursor host configs

Three new hosts added to the declarative config system. Each is a typed
HostConfig object with paths, frontmatter rules, and path rewrites.
All generate valid SKILL.md output with zero .claude/skills path leakage.

- hosts/opencode.ts: OpenCode (opencode.ai), skills at ~/.config/opencode/
- hosts/slate.ts: Slate (Random Labs), skills at ~/.slate/
- hosts/cursor.ts: Cursor, skills at ~/.cursor/
- .gitignore: add .kiro/, .opencode/, .slate/, .cursor/, .openclaw/

Zero code changes needed — just config files + re-export in index.ts.

* feat: add OpenClaw host config with adapter for tool mapping

OpenClaw gets a hybrid approach: typed config for paths/frontmatter/
detection + a post-processing adapter for semantic tool rewrites.

Config handles: path rewrites, frontmatter (name+description+version),
CLAUDE.md→AGENTS.md, tool name rewrites (Bash→exec, Read→read, etc.),
suppressed resolvers, SOUL.md via staticFiles.

Adapter handles: AskUserQuestion→prose, Agent→sessions_spawn, $B→exec $B.

Zero .claude/skills path leakage. Zero hardcoded tool references remaining.

* feat: contributor add-host skill + fix version sync

- contrib/add-host/SKILL.md.tmpl: contributor-only skill that guides
  new host config creation. Lives in contrib/, excluded from user installs.
- package.json: sync version with VERSION file (0.15.2.1)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add parameterized host smoke tests for all hosts

35 new tests covering all 7 external hosts (Codex, Factory, Kiro,
OpenCode, Slate, Cursor, OpenClaw). Each host gets 4-5 tests:
- output exists on disk with SKILL.md files
- no .claude/skills path leakage in non-root skills
- frontmatter has name + description fields
- --dry-run freshness check passes
- /codex skill excluded (for hosts with skipSkills: ['codex'])

Tests are parameterized over ALL_HOST_CONFIGS so adding a new host
automatically gets smoke-tested with zero new test code.

Also updates --host all test to verify all registered hosts generate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: 100% coverage for host config system

71 new tests in test/host-config.test.ts covering:
- hosts/index.ts: ALL_HOST_CONFIGS, getHostConfig, resolveHostArg (aliases),
  getExternalHosts, uniqueness checks
- host-config.ts validateHostConfig: name regex, displayName, cliCommand,
  cliAliases, globalRoot, localSkillRoot, hostSubdir, frontmatter.mode,
  linkingStrategy, shell injection attempts, paths with $ and ~
- host-config.ts validateAllConfigs: duplicate name/hostSubdir/globalRoot
  detection, error prefix format, real configs pass
- HOST_PATHS derivation: env vars for external hosts, literal paths for
  Claude, localSkillRoot matches config, every host has entry
- host-config-export.ts CLI: list, get (string/boolean/array), detect,
  validate, symlinks, error cases (missing args, unknown field/host)
- Golden-file regression: claude/codex/factory ship SKILL.md vs baselines
- Individual host config correctness: prefixable, linkingStrategy,
  usesEnvVars, description limits, metadata, sidecar, tool rewrites,
  conditional fields, suppressed resolvers, boundary instruction,
  co-author trailers, skip rules, path rewrites, runtime root assets

Combined with the 35 parameterized smoke tests from gen-skill-docs.test.ts,
total new test coverage for multi-host: 106 tests.

* fix: sidebar E2E tests now self-contained and passing

- sidebar-url-accuracy: fix stale assertion that expected extensionUrl
  in prompt text (prompt format changed, URL is now in pageUrl field)
- sidebar-css-interaction: simplify task from multi-step HN comment
  navigation to single-page example.com style injection (faster, more
  reliable, still exercises goto + style + completion flow)
- Update golden baselines after merge from main

All 3 sidebar tests now pass: 3/3, 0 fail, ~36s total.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add ADDING_A_HOST.md guide + update docs for multi-host system

- docs/ADDING_A_HOST.md: step-by-step guide for adding a new host
  (create config, register, gitignore, generate, test). Covers the
  full HostConfig interface, adapter pattern, and validation.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: replace stale "Dual-host development" section with
  "Multi-host development" covering all 8 hosts and linking to the guide.

Garry Tan 447851452a feat: interactive /plan-devex-review + plan mode skill fix (v0.15.5.0) (#796)
* fix: skill invocation during plan mode takes precedence over generic plan mode

Adds a "Skill Invocation During Plan Mode" section to the preamble resolver so
all generated SKILL.md files include it. Fixes a bug where Claude treats loaded
skill content as reference material instead of executable instructions, and keeps
trying to ExitPlanMode instead of following the skill workflow step by step.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: interactive /plan-devex-review with persona, benchmarks, and forcing questions

Complete rewrite of the DX review skill to match CEO/eng review depth. New flow:
investigate (persona, empathy, competitors, magical moment, journey tracing) then
force decisions, then score with evidence. Three modes: DX EXPANSION, DX POLISH,
DX TRIAGE. 20-45 interactive STOP points vs 10-12 before.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: autoplan DX POLISH mode + review log schema for new devex fields

Adds mode selection, persona, competitive, and magical moment override rules to
autoplan Phase 3.5. Documents new review log fields (mode, persona, competitive_tier)
in the plan-file-review-report schema. Syncs package.json version to VERSION.

Garry Tan 3f080de1b7 feat: GStack Browser — double-click AI browser with anti-bot stealth (#695)
* feat: CDP inspector module — persistent sessions, CSS cascade, style modification

New browse/src/cdp-inspector.ts with full CDP inspection engine:
- inspectElement() via CSS.getMatchedStylesForNode + DOM.getBoxModel
- modifyStyle() via CSS.setStyleTexts with headless page.evaluate fallback
- Persistent CDP session lifecycle (create, reuse, detach on nav, re-create)
- Specificity sorting, overridden property detection, UA rule filtering
- Modification history with undo support
- formatInspectorResult() for CLI output

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: browse server inspector endpoints + inspect/style/cleanup/prettyscreenshot CLI

Server endpoints: POST /inspector/pick, GET /inspector, POST /inspector/apply,
POST /inspector/reset, GET /inspector/history, GET /inspector/events (SSE).
CLI commands: inspect (CDP cascade), style (live CSS mod), cleanup (page clutter
removal), prettyscreenshot (clean screenshot pipeline).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sidebar CSS inspector — element picker, box model, rule cascade, quick edit

Extension changes for the visual CSS inspector:
- inspector.js: element picker with hover highlight, CSS selector generation,
  basic mode fallback (getComputedStyle + CSSOM), page alteration handlers
- inspector.css: picker overlay styles (blue highlight + tooltip)
- background.js: inspector message routing (picker <-> server <-> sidepanel)
- sidepanel: Inspector tab with box model viz (gstack palette), matched rules
  with specificity badges, computed styles, click-to-edit quick edit,
  Send to Agent/Code button, empty/loading/error states

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: auto-track user-created tabs and handle tab close

browser-manager.ts changes:
- context.on('page') listener: automatically tracks tabs opened by the user
  (Cmd+T, right-click open in new tab, window.open). Previously only
  programmatic newTab() was tracked, so user tabs were invisible.
- page.on('close') handler in wirePageEvents: removes closed tabs from the
  pages map and switches activeTabId to the last remaining tab.
- syncActiveTabByUrl: match Chrome extension's active tab URL to the correct
  Playwright page for accurate tab identity.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: per-tab agent isolation via BROWSE_TAB environment variable

Prevents parallel sidebar agents from interfering with each other's tab context.

Three-layer fix:
- sidebar-agent.ts: passes BROWSE_TAB=<tabId> env var to each claude process,
  per-tab processing set allows concurrent agents across tabs
- cli.ts: reads process.env.BROWSE_TAB and includes tabId in command request body
- server.ts: handleCommand() temporarily switches activeTabId when tabId is present,
  restores after command completes (safe: Bun event loop is single-threaded)

Also: per-tab agent state (TabAgentState map), per-tab message queuing,
per-tab chat buffers, verbose streaming narration, stop button endpoint.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sidebar per-tab chat context, tab bar sync, stop button, UX polish

Extension changes:
- sidepanel.js: per-tab chat history (tabChatHistories map), switchChatTab()
  swaps entire chat view, browserTabActivated handler for instant tab sync,
  stop button wired to /sidebar-agent/stop, pollTabs renders tab bar
- sidepanel.html: updated banner text ("Browser co-pilot"), stop button markup,
  input placeholder "Ask about this page..."
- sidepanel.css: tab bar styles, stop button styles, loading state fixes
- background.js: chrome.tabs.onActivated sends browserTabActivated to sidepanel
  with tab URL for instant tab switch detection

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: per-tab isolation, BROWSE_TAB pinning, tab tracking, sidebar UX

sidebar-agent.test.ts (new tests):
- BROWSE_TAB env var passed to claude process
- CLI reads BROWSE_TAB and sends tabId in body
- handleCommand accepts tabId, saves/restores activeTabId
- Tab pinning only activates when tabId provided
- Per-tab agent state, queue, concurrency
- processingTabs set for parallel agents

sidebar-ux.test.ts (new tests):
- context.on('page') tracks user-created tabs
- page.on('close') removes tabs from pages map
- Tab isolation uses BROWSE_TAB not system prompt hack
- Per-tab chat context in sidepanel
- Tab bar rendering, stop button, banner text

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: resolve merge conflicts — keep security defenses + per-tab isolation

Merged main's security improvements (XML escaping, prompt injection defense,
allowed commands whitelist, --model opus, Write tool, stderr capture) with
our branch's per-tab isolation (BROWSE_TAB env var, processingTabs set,
no --resume). Updated test expectations for expanded system prompt.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.13.9.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: add inspector message types to background.js allowlist

Pre-existing bug found by Codex: ALLOWED_TYPES in background.js was missing
all inspector message types (startInspector, stopInspector, elementPicked,
pickerCancelled, applyStyle, toggleClass, injectCSS, resetAll, inspectResult).
Messages were silently rejected, making the inspector broken on ALL pages.

Also: separate executeScript and insertCSS into individual try blocks in
injectInspector(), store inspectorMode for routing, and add content.js
fallback when script injection fails (CSP, chrome:// pages).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: basic element picker in content.js for CSP-restricted pages

When inspector.js can't be injected (CSP, chrome:// pages), content.js
provides a basic picker using getComputedStyle + CSSOM:
- startBasicPicker/stopBasicPicker message handlers
- captureBasicData() with ~30 key CSS properties, box model, matched rules
- Hover highlight with outline save/restore (never leaves artifacts)
- Click uses e.target directly (no re-querying by selector)
- Sends inspectResult with mode:'basic' for sidebar rendering
- Escape key cancels picker and restores outlines

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: cleanup + screenshot buttons in sidebar inspector toolbar

Two action buttons in the inspector toolbar:
- Cleanup (🧹): POSTs cleanup --all to server, shows spinner, chat
  notification on success, resets inspector state (element may be removed)
- Screenshot (📸): POSTs screenshot to server, shows spinner, chat
  notification with saved file path

Shared infrastructure:
- .inspector-action-btn CSS with loading spinner via ::after pseudo-element
- chat-notification type in addChatEntry() for system messages
- package.json version bump to 0.13.9.0

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: inspector allowlist, CSP fallback, cleanup/screenshot buttons

16 new tests in sidebar-ux.test.ts:
- Inspector message allowlist includes all inspector types
- content.js basic picker (startBasicPicker, captureBasicData, CSSOM,
  outline save/restore, inspectResult with mode basic, Escape cleanup)
- background.js CSP fallback (separate try blocks, inspectorMode, fallback)
- Cleanup button (POST /command, inspector reset after success)
- Screenshot button (POST /command, notification rendering)
- Chat notification type and CSS styles

* feat: cleanup + screenshot buttons in chat toolbar (not just inspector)

Quick actions toolbar (🧹 Cleanup, 📸 Screenshot) now appears above the chat
input, always visible. Both inspector and chat buttons share runCleanup() and
runScreenshot() helper functions. Clicking either set shows loading state on
both simultaneously.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: chat toolbar buttons, shared helpers, quick-action-btn styles

Tests that chat toolbar exists (chat-cleanup-btn, chat-screenshot-btn,
quick-actions container), CSS styles (.quick-action-btn, .quick-action-btn.loading),
shared runCleanup/runScreenshot helper functions, and cleanup inspector reset.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: aggressive cleanup heuristics — overlays, scroll unlock, blur removal

Massively expanded CLEANUP_SELECTORS with patterns from uBlock Origin and
Readability.js research:
- ads: 30+ selectors (Google, Amazon, Outbrain, Taboola, Criteo, etc.)
- cookies: OneTrust, Cookiebot, TrustArc, Quantcast + generic patterns
- overlays (NEW): paywalls, newsletter popups, interstitials, push prompts,
  app download banners, survey modals
- social: follow prompts, share tools
- Cleanup now defaults to --all when no args (sidebar button fix)
- Uses !important on all display:none (overrides inline styles)
- Unlocks body/html scroll (overflow:hidden from modal lockout)
- Removes blur/filter effects (paywall content blur)
- Removes max-height truncation (article teaser truncation)
- Collapses empty ad placeholder whitespace (empty divs after ad removal)
- Skips gstack-ctrl indicator in sticky removal

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: disable action buttons when disconnected, no error spam

- setActionButtonsEnabled() toggles .disabled class on all cleanup/screenshot
  buttons (both chat toolbar and inspector toolbar)
- Called with false in updateConnection when server URL is null
- Called with true when connection established
- runCleanup/runScreenshot silently return when disconnected instead of
  showing 'Not connected' error notifications
- CSS .disabled style: pointer-events:none, opacity:0.3, cursor:not-allowed

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: cleanup heuristics, button disabled state, overlay selectors

17 new tests:
- cleanup defaults to --all on empty args
- CLEANUP_SELECTORS overlays category (paywall, newsletter, interstitial)
- Major ad networks in selectors (doubleclick, taboola, criteo, etc.)
- Major consent frameworks (OneTrust, Cookiebot, TrustArc, Quantcast)
- !important override for inline styles
- Scroll unlock (body overflow:hidden)
- Blur removal (paywall content blur)
- Article truncation removal (max-height)
- Empty placeholder collapse
- gstack-ctrl indicator skip in sticky cleanup
- setActionButtonsEnabled function
- Buttons disabled when disconnected
- No error spam from cleanup/screenshot when disconnected
- CSS disabled styles for action buttons

* feat: LLM-based page cleanup — agent analyzes page semantically

Instead of brittle CSS selectors, the cleanup button now sends a prompt to
the sidebar agent (which IS an LLM). The agent:
1. Runs deterministic $B cleanup --all as a quick first pass
2. Takes a snapshot to see what's left
3. Analyzes the page semantically to identify remaining clutter
4. Removes elements intelligently, preserving site branding

This means cleanup works correctly on any site without site-specific selectors.
The LLM understands that "Your Daily Puzzles" is clutter, "ADVERTISEMENT" is
junk, but the SF Chronicle masthead should stay.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: aggressive cleanup heuristics + preserve top nav bar

Deterministic cleanup improvements (used as first pass before LLM analysis):
- New 'clutter' category: audio players, podcast widgets, sidebar puzzles/games,
  recirculation widgets (taboola, outbrain, nativo), cross-promotion banners
- Text-content detection: removes "ADVERTISEMENT", "Article continues below",
  "Sponsored", "Paid content" labels and their parent wrappers
- Sticky fix: preserves the topmost full-width element near viewport top (site
  nav bar) instead of hiding all sticky/fixed elements. Sorts by vertical
  position, preserves the first one that spans >80% viewport width.

Tests: clutter category, ad label removal, nav bar preservation logic.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: LLM-based cleanup architecture, deterministic heuristics, sticky nav

22 new tests covering:
- Cleanup button uses /sidebar-command (agent) not /command (deterministic)
- Cleanup prompt includes deterministic first pass + agent snapshot analysis
- Cleanup prompt lists specific clutter categories for agent guidance
- Cleanup prompt preserves site identity (masthead, headline, body, byline)
- Cleanup prompt instructs scroll unlock and $B eval removal
- Loading state management (async agent, setTimeout)
- Deterministic clutter: audio/podcast, games/puzzles, recirculation
- Ad label text patterns (ADVERTISEMENT, Sponsored, Article continues)
- Ad label parent wrapper hiding for small containers
- Sticky nav preservation (sort by position, first full-width near top)

* feat: GStack Browser stealth + branding — anti-bot patches, custom UA, rebrand

- Add GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH env var for custom Chromium binary
- Add BROWSE_EXTENSIONS_DIR env var for extension path override
- Move auth token to /health endpoint (fixes read-only .app bundles)
- Anti-bot stealth: disable navigator.webdriver, fake plugins, languages
- Custom user agent: Chrome/<version> GStackBrowser (auto-detects version)
- Rebrand Chromium plist to "GStack Browser" at launch time
- Update security test to match new token-via-health approach

* feat: GStack Browser .app bundle — launcher script + build system

- scripts/app/gstack-browser: dual-mode launcher (dev + .app bundle)
- scripts/build-app.sh: compiles binary, bundles Chromium + extension, creates DMG
- Rebrands Chromium plist during build for "GStack Browser" in menu bar
- 389MB .app, 189MB compressed DMG, launches in ~5s

* docs: GStack Browser V0 master plan — AI-native development browser vision

5-phase roadmap from .app wrapper through Chromium fork, 9 capability
visions, competitive landscape, architecture diagrams, design system.

* fix: restore package.json and sync version to 0.14.3.0

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.14.4.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: gitignore top-level dist/ (GStack Browser build output)

* feat: GStack Browser icon — custom .icns replaces Chromium's Dock icon

- Generated 1024px icon: dark terminal window with amber prompt cursor
- Converted to .icns with all macOS sizes (16-1024px, 1x and 2x)
- build-app.sh copies icon into both the outer .app and bundled Chromium's
  Resources (Chromium's process owns the Dock icon, not the launcher)
- browser-manager.ts patches Chromium's icon at runtime for dev mode too
- Both the Dock and Cmd+Tab now show the GStack icon

* feat: rename /connect-chrome → /open-gstack-browser

- Rename skill directory + update frontmatter name and description
- Update SKILL.md.tmpl to reference GStack Browser branding/stealth
- Create connect-chrome symlink for backwards compatibility
- Setup script creates /connect-chrome alias in .claude/skills/
- Fix package.json version sync (0.14.5.0 → 0.14.6.0)

* feat: rename /connect-chrome → /open-gstack-browser across all references

Update README skill lists, docs/skills.md deep dive, extension sidepanel
banner copy button, and reconnect clipboard text.

* feat: left-align sidebar UI + extension-ready event for welcome page

- Left-align all sidebar text (chat welcome, loading, empty states,
  notifications, inspector empty, session placeholder)
- Dispatch 'gstack-extension-ready' CustomEvent from content.js so
  the welcome page can detect when the sidebar is active

* chore: add GStack Browser TODOs — CDP stealth patches + Chromium fork

P1: rebrowser-style postinstall patcher for Playwright 1.58.2 (suppress
Runtime.enable, addBinding context discovery, 6 files, ~200 lines).
P2: long-term Chromium fork for permanent stealth + native sidebar.

* chore: regenerate open-gstack-browser/SKILL.md from template

Fix timeline skill name (connect-chrome → open-gstack-browser) and
preamble formatting from merge with main's updated template.

* feat: welcome page served from browse server on headed launch

- Add /welcome endpoint to server.ts, serves welcome.html
- Navigate to /welcome after server starts (not during launchHeaded,
  which runs before the server is listening)
- welcome.html bundled in browse/src/ for portability

* feat: auto-open sidebar on every browser launch, not just first install

- Add top-level setTimeout in background.js that fires on every service
  worker startup (onInstalled only fires on install/update)
- Remove misaligned arrow from welcome page, replace with text fallback
  that hides when extension content script fires gstack-extension-ready

* fix: sidebar auto-open retry with backoff + welcome page tests

- Replace single-attempt sidePanel.open() with autoOpenSidePanel() that
  retries up to 5 times with 500ms-5000ms backoff
- Fire on both onInstalled AND every service worker startup
- Remove misaligned arrow from welcome page, replace with text fallback
- Add 12 tests: welcome page structure, /welcome endpoint, headed launch
  navigation timing, sidebar auto-open retry logic, extension-ready event

* feat: reload button in sidebar footer

Adds a "reload" button next to "debug" and "clear" in the sidebar
footer. Calls location.reload() to fully refresh the side panel,
re-run connection logic, and clear stale state.

* feat: right-pointing arrow hint for sidebar on welcome page

Replace invisible text fallback with visible amber bubble + animated
right arrow (→) pointing toward where the sidebar opens. Always correct
regardless of window size (unlike the old up arrow at toolbar chrome).

* fix: sidebar auth race — pass token in getPort response

The sidebar called tryConnect() → getPort → got {port, connected} but
NO token. All subsequent requests (SSE, chat poll) failed with 401.
The token only arrived later via the health broadcast, but by then
the SSE connection was already broken.

Fix: include authToken in the getPort response so the sidebar has
the token from its very first connection attempt.

* feat: sidebar debug visibility + auth race tests

- Show attempt count in loading screen ("Connecting... attempt 3")
- After 5 failed attempts, show debug details (port, connected, token)
  so stuck users can see exactly what's failing
- Add 4 tests: getPort includes token, tryConnect uses token,
  dead state exists with MAX_RECONNECT_ATTEMPTS, reconnectAttempts visible

* fix: startup health check retries every 1s instead of 10s

Root cause: extension service worker starts before Bun.serve() is
listening. First checkHealth() fails, next attempt is 10 seconds
later. User stares at "Connecting..." for 10 seconds.

Fix: retry every 1s for up to 15 attempts on startup, then switch
to 10s polling once connected (or after 15s gives up). Sidebar
should connect within 1-2 seconds of server becoming available.

3 new tests verify the fast-retry → slow-poll transition.

* feat: detailed step-by-step status in sidebar loading screen

Replace useless "Connecting..." with real-time debug info:
- "Looking for browse server... (attempt N)"
- Shows port, server responding status, token status
- Shows chrome.runtime errors if extension messaging fails
- Tells user to run /open-gstack-browser if server not found

* fix: sidebar connects directly to /health instead of waiting for background

Root cause: sidepanel asked background "are you connected?" but background's
health check hadn't succeeded yet (1-10s gap). Sidepanel waited forever.

Fix: when background says not connected, sidepanel hits /health directly
with fetch(). Gets the token from the response. Bypasses background
entirely for initial connection. Shows step-by-step debug info:
"Checking server directly... port: 34567 / Trying GET /health..."

* fix: suppress fake "session ended" and timeout errors in sidebar

Two issues making the sidebar look broken when it's actually working:
1. "Timed out after 300s" error displayed after agent_done — this is a
   cleanup timer, not a real error. Now suppressed when no active session.
2. "(session ended)" text appended on every idle poll — removed entirely.
   The thinking spinner is cleaned up silently instead.

* fix: sidebar agent passes BROWSE_PORT to child claude

Ensures the child claude process connects to the existing headed
browse server (port 34567) instead of spawning a new headless one.
Without this, sidebar chat commands run in an invisible browser.

* feat: BROWSE_NO_AUTOSTART prevents sidebar from spawning headless browser

When set, the browse CLI refuses to start a new server and exits with
a clear error: "Server not available, run /open-gstack-browser to restart."
The sidebar agent sets this so users never get an invisible headless
browser when the headed one is closed.

* test: BROWSE_NO_AUTOSTART guard in CLI + sidebar-agent env vars

5 tests: CLI checks env var before starting server, shows actionable
error, sidebar-agent sets the flag + BROWSE_PORT, guard runs before
lock acquisition to prevent stale lock files.

* fix: stale auth token causes Unauthorized + invisible error text

background.js checkHealth() never refreshed authToken from /health responses,
so when the browse server restarted with a new token, all sidebar-command
requests got 401 Unauthorized forever.

Also: error placeholder text was #3f3f46 on #0C0C0C (nearly invisible).
Now shows in red to match the error border.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: replace 40+ silent catch blocks with debug logging

Every empty catch {} in sidepanel.js, sidebar-agent.ts now logs with
[gstack sidebar] or [sidebar-agent] prefix. Chat poll 401s, stop agent,
tab poll, clear chat, SSE parse, refs fetch, stream JSON parse, queue
read/parse, process kill — all now visible in console.

* fix: noisy debug logging + auto model routing in browse server

Server-side silent catch blocks (22 instances) now log with [browse] prefix:
chat persistence, session save/load, agent kill, tab pin/restore, welcome
page, buffer flush, worktree cleanup, lock files, SSE streams.

Also adds pickSidebarModel() — routes sidebar messages to sonnet for
navigation/interaction (click, goto, fill, screenshot) and opus for
analysis/comprehension (summarize, describe, find bugs). Sonnet is
~4x faster for action commands with zero quality difference.

* test: update sidebar tests for model router + longer stopAgent slice

- stopAgent slice 800→1000 to accommodate added error logging lines
- Replace hardcoded opus assertion with model router assertions

* fix: sidebar arrow hint stays visible until sidebar actually opens

Previously the welcome page arrow hid immediately when the extension's
content script loaded — but extension loaded ≠ sidebar open. Now the
signal flow is: sidepanel connects → tells background.js → relays to
content script → dispatches gstack-extension-ready → arrow hides.

Adds welcome-page.test.ts: 14 tests verifying arrow, branding, feature
cards, dark theme, and auto-hide behavior via real HTTP server.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: arrow hide signal chain (4-step) + stale session-ended assertion

8 new tests verify the sidebarOpened → background → content → welcome
signal chain. Updates stale "(session ended)" test that checked for
text removed in a prior commit.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: preserve optimistic UI during tab switch on first message

When the user sends a message and the server assigns it to a new tab
(because Chrome's active tab changed), switchChatTab() was blowing away
the optimistic user bubble and thinking dots with a welcome screen.
Now preserves the current DOM if we're mid-send with a thinking indicator.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: sidebar message flow architecture doc + CLAUDE.md pointer

SIDEBAR_MESSAGE_FLOW.md documents the full init timeline, message flow
(user types → claude responds), auth token chain, arrow hint signal
chain, model routing, tab concurrency, and known failure modes.

CLAUDE.md now tells you to read it before touching sidebar files.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: sidebar chat resets idle timer + shutdown kills sidebar-agent

Two fixes for the "browser died while chatting" problem:

1. /sidebar-command now calls resetIdleTimer(). Previously only CLI
   commands reset it, so the server would shut down after 30 min even
   while the user was actively chatting in the sidebar.

2. shutdown() now pkills the sidebar-agent daemon. Previously the agent
   survived server shutdown, kept polling a dead server, and spawned
   confused claude processes that auto-started headless browsers.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: disable idle timeout in headed mode — browser lives until closed

The 30-minute idle timeout only applies to headless mode now. In headed
mode the user is looking at the Chrome window, so auto-shutdown is wrong.
The browser stays alive until explicit disconnect or window close.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: cookies button in sidebar footer opens cookie picker

One-click cookie import from the sidebar. Navigates the headed browser
to /cookie-picker where you can select which domains to import from
your real Chrome profile.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update project documentation for GStack Browser improvements

README.md: updated Real browser mode and sidebar agent sections with
model routing, cookie import button, no idle timeout in headed mode.
Updated skill table entries for /browse and /open-gstack-browser.

docs/skills.md: updated /open-gstack-browser deep dive with model
routing and cookie import details.

GSTACK_BROWSER_V0.md: added 6 new SHIPPED items to implementation
status table (model routing, debug logging, idle timeout, cookie
button, arrow hint, architecture doc).

TODOS.md: marked "Sidebar agent Write tool + error visibility" as
SHIPPED. Added new P2 TODO for direct API calls to eliminate
claude -p startup tax.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add Claude Code terminal example to welcome page TRY IT NOW

Fifth example shows the parent agent workflow: navigate, extract CSS,
write to file. The other four are all sidebar-only. This one shows
co-presence — the Claude Code session that launched the browser can
also control it directly.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: hide internal tool-result file reads from sidebar activity

Claude reads its own ~/.claude/projects/.../tool-results/ files as
internal plumbing. These showed up as long unreadable paths in the
sidebar. Now: describeToolCall returns empty for tool-result reads,
and the sidebar skips rendering tool_use entries with no description.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: collapse tool calls into "See reasoning" disclosure on completion

While the agent is working, tool calls stream live so you can watch
progress. When the agent finishes, all tool calls collapse into a
"See reasoning (N steps)" disclosure. Click to expand and see what
the agent did. The final text answer stays visible.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: 17 new tests for recent sidebar fixes

Covers: tool-result file filtering, empty tool_use skip, reasoning
disclosure collapse, idle timeout headed mode bypass, sidebar-command
idle reset, shutdown sidebar-agent kill, cookie button, and model
routing analysis-before-action priority.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: move cookies button to quick actions toolbar

Cookies now sits next to Cleanup and Screenshot as a primary action
button (🍪 Cookies) instead of buried in the footer. Same behavior,
more discoverable.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add instructional text to cookie picker page

"Select the domains of cookies you want to import to GStack Browser.
You'll be able to browse those sites with the same login as your
other browser."

Also fixes stale test that expected hardcoded '--model', 'opus'.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: 6-card welcome page with cookie import + dual-agent cards

3x2 grid layout (was 2x2). New cards: "Import your cookies" (click
🍪 Cookies to import login sessions from Chrome/Arc/Brave) and
"Or use your main agent" (your Claude Code terminal also controls
this browser). Responsive: 3 cols > 2 cols > 1 col.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: move sidebar arrow hint to top-right instead of vertically centered

The arrow was centered vertically which put it behind the feature cards.
Now positioned at top: 80px where there's open space and it's more visible.

Garry Tan a1a933614c feat: sidebar CSS inspector + per-tab agents (v0.13.9.0) (#650)
* feat: CDP inspector module — persistent sessions, CSS cascade, style modification

New browse/src/cdp-inspector.ts with full CDP inspection engine:
- inspectElement() via CSS.getMatchedStylesForNode + DOM.getBoxModel
- modifyStyle() via CSS.setStyleTexts with headless page.evaluate fallback
- Persistent CDP session lifecycle (create, reuse, detach on nav, re-create)
- Specificity sorting, overridden property detection, UA rule filtering
- Modification history with undo support
- formatInspectorResult() for CLI output

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: browse server inspector endpoints + inspect/style/cleanup/prettyscreenshot CLI

Server endpoints: POST /inspector/pick, GET /inspector, POST /inspector/apply,
POST /inspector/reset, GET /inspector/history, GET /inspector/events (SSE).
CLI commands: inspect (CDP cascade), style (live CSS mod), cleanup (page clutter
removal), prettyscreenshot (clean screenshot pipeline).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sidebar CSS inspector — element picker, box model, rule cascade, quick edit

Extension changes for the visual CSS inspector:
- inspector.js: element picker with hover highlight, CSS selector generation,
  basic mode fallback (getComputedStyle + CSSOM), page alteration handlers
- inspector.css: picker overlay styles (blue highlight + tooltip)
- background.js: inspector message routing (picker <-> server <-> sidepanel)
- sidepanel: Inspector tab with box model viz (gstack palette), matched rules
  with specificity badges, computed styles, click-to-edit quick edit,
  Send to Agent/Code button, empty/loading/error states

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: auto-track user-created tabs and handle tab close

browser-manager.ts changes:
- context.on('page') listener: automatically tracks tabs opened by the user
  (Cmd+T, right-click open in new tab, window.open). Previously only
  programmatic newTab() was tracked, so user tabs were invisible.
- page.on('close') handler in wirePageEvents: removes closed tabs from the
  pages map and switches activeTabId to the last remaining tab.
- syncActiveTabByUrl: match Chrome extension's active tab URL to the correct
  Playwright page for accurate tab identity.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: per-tab agent isolation via BROWSE_TAB environment variable

Prevents parallel sidebar agents from interfering with each other's tab context.

Three-layer fix:
- sidebar-agent.ts: passes BROWSE_TAB=<tabId> env var to each claude process,
  per-tab processing set allows concurrent agents across tabs
- cli.ts: reads process.env.BROWSE_TAB and includes tabId in command request body
- server.ts: handleCommand() temporarily switches activeTabId when tabId is present,
  restores after command completes (safe: Bun event loop is single-threaded)

Also: per-tab agent state (TabAgentState map), per-tab message queuing,
per-tab chat buffers, verbose streaming narration, stop button endpoint.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sidebar per-tab chat context, tab bar sync, stop button, UX polish

Extension changes:
- sidepanel.js: per-tab chat history (tabChatHistories map), switchChatTab()
  swaps entire chat view, browserTabActivated handler for instant tab sync,
  stop button wired to /sidebar-agent/stop, pollTabs renders tab bar
- sidepanel.html: updated banner text ("Browser co-pilot"), stop button markup,
  input placeholder "Ask about this page..."
- sidepanel.css: tab bar styles, stop button styles, loading state fixes
- background.js: chrome.tabs.onActivated sends browserTabActivated to sidepanel
  with tab URL for instant tab switch detection

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: per-tab isolation, BROWSE_TAB pinning, tab tracking, sidebar UX

sidebar-agent.test.ts (new tests):
- BROWSE_TAB env var passed to claude process
- CLI reads BROWSE_TAB and sends tabId in body
- handleCommand accepts tabId, saves/restores activeTabId
- Tab pinning only activates when tabId provided
- Per-tab agent state, queue, concurrency
- processingTabs set for parallel agents

sidebar-ux.test.ts (new tests):
- context.on('page') tracks user-created tabs
- page.on('close') removes tabs from pages map
- Tab isolation uses BROWSE_TAB not system prompt hack
- Per-tab chat context in sidepanel
- Tab bar rendering, stop button, banner text

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: resolve merge conflicts — keep security defenses + per-tab isolation

Merged main's security improvements (XML escaping, prompt injection defense,
allowed commands whitelist, --model opus, Write tool, stderr capture) with
our branch's per-tab isolation (BROWSE_TAB env var, processingTabs set,
no --resume). Updated test expectations for expanded system prompt.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.13.9.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: add inspector message types to background.js allowlist

Pre-existing bug found by Codex: ALLOWED_TYPES in background.js was missing
all inspector message types (startInspector, stopInspector, elementPicked,
pickerCancelled, applyStyle, toggleClass, injectCSS, resetAll, inspectResult).
Messages were silently rejected, making the inspector broken on ALL pages.

Also: separate executeScript and insertCSS into individual try blocks in
injectInspector(), store inspectorMode for routing, and add content.js
fallback when script injection fails (CSP, chrome:// pages).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: basic element picker in content.js for CSP-restricted pages

When inspector.js can't be injected (CSP, chrome:// pages), content.js
provides a basic picker using getComputedStyle + CSSOM:
- startBasicPicker/stopBasicPicker message handlers
- captureBasicData() with ~30 key CSS properties, box model, matched rules
- Hover highlight with outline save/restore (never leaves artifacts)
- Click uses e.target directly (no re-querying by selector)
- Sends inspectResult with mode:'basic' for sidebar rendering
- Escape key cancels picker and restores outlines

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: cleanup + screenshot buttons in sidebar inspector toolbar

Two action buttons in the inspector toolbar:
- Cleanup (🧹): POSTs cleanup --all to server, shows spinner, chat
  notification on success, resets inspector state (element may be removed)
- Screenshot (📸): POSTs screenshot to server, shows spinner, chat
  notification with saved file path

Shared infrastructure:
- .inspector-action-btn CSS with loading spinner via ::after pseudo-element
- chat-notification type in addChatEntry() for system messages
- package.json version bump to 0.13.9.0

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: inspector allowlist, CSP fallback, cleanup/screenshot buttons

16 new tests in sidebar-ux.test.ts:
- Inspector message allowlist includes all inspector types
- content.js basic picker (startBasicPicker, captureBasicData, CSSOM,
  outline save/restore, inspectResult with mode basic, Escape cleanup)
- background.js CSP fallback (separate try blocks, inspectorMode, fallback)
- Cleanup button (POST /command, inspector reset after success)
- Screenshot button (POST /command, notification rendering)
- Chat notification type and CSS styles

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: cleanup + screenshot buttons in chat toolbar (not just inspector)

Quick actions toolbar (🧹 Cleanup, 📸 Screenshot) now appears above the chat
input, always visible. Both inspector and chat buttons share runCleanup() and
runScreenshot() helper functions. Clicking either set shows loading state on
both simultaneously.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: chat toolbar buttons, shared helpers, quick-action-btn styles

Tests that chat toolbar exists (chat-cleanup-btn, chat-screenshot-btn,
quick-actions container), CSS styles (.quick-action-btn, .quick-action-btn.loading),
shared runCleanup/runScreenshot helper functions, and cleanup inspector reset.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: aggressive cleanup heuristics — overlays, scroll unlock, blur removal

Massively expanded CLEANUP_SELECTORS with patterns from uBlock Origin and
Readability.js research:
- ads: 30+ selectors (Google, Amazon, Outbrain, Taboola, Criteo, etc.)
- cookies: OneTrust, Cookiebot, TrustArc, Quantcast + generic patterns
- overlays (NEW): paywalls, newsletter popups, interstitials, push prompts,
  app download banners, survey modals
- social: follow prompts, share tools
- Cleanup now defaults to --all when no args (sidebar button fix)
- Uses !important on all display:none (overrides inline styles)
- Unlocks body/html scroll (overflow:hidden from modal lockout)
- Removes blur/filter effects (paywall content blur)
- Removes max-height truncation (article teaser truncation)
- Collapses empty ad placeholder whitespace (empty divs after ad removal)
- Skips gstack-ctrl indicator in sticky removal

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: disable action buttons when disconnected, no error spam

- setActionButtonsEnabled() toggles .disabled class on all cleanup/screenshot
  buttons (both chat toolbar and inspector toolbar)
- Called with false in updateConnection when server URL is null
- Called with true when connection established
- runCleanup/runScreenshot silently return when disconnected instead of
  showing 'Not connected' error notifications
- CSS .disabled style: pointer-events:none, opacity:0.3, cursor:not-allowed

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: cleanup heuristics, button disabled state, overlay selectors

17 new tests:
- cleanup defaults to --all on empty args
- CLEANUP_SELECTORS overlays category (paywall, newsletter, interstitial)
- Major ad networks in selectors (doubleclick, taboola, criteo, etc.)
- Major consent frameworks (OneTrust, Cookiebot, TrustArc, Quantcast)
- !important override for inline styles
- Scroll unlock (body overflow:hidden)
- Blur removal (paywall content blur)
- Article truncation removal (max-height)
- Empty placeholder collapse
- gstack-ctrl indicator skip in sticky cleanup
- setActionButtonsEnabled function
- Buttons disabled when disconnected
- No error spam from cleanup/screenshot when disconnected
- CSS disabled styles for action buttons

* feat: LLM-based page cleanup — agent analyzes page semantically

Instead of brittle CSS selectors, the cleanup button now sends a prompt to
the sidebar agent (which IS an LLM). The agent:
1. Runs deterministic $B cleanup --all as a quick first pass
2. Takes a snapshot to see what's left
3. Analyzes the page semantically to identify remaining clutter
4. Removes elements intelligently, preserving site branding

This means cleanup works correctly on any site without site-specific selectors.
The LLM understands that "Your Daily Puzzles" is clutter, "ADVERTISEMENT" is
junk, but the SF Chronicle masthead should stay.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: aggressive cleanup heuristics + preserve top nav bar

Deterministic cleanup improvements (used as first pass before LLM analysis):
- New 'clutter' category: audio players, podcast widgets, sidebar puzzles/games,
  recirculation widgets (taboola, outbrain, nativo), cross-promotion banners
- Text-content detection: removes "ADVERTISEMENT", "Article continues below",
  "Sponsored", "Paid content" labels and their parent wrappers
- Sticky fix: preserves the topmost full-width element near viewport top (site
  nav bar) instead of hiding all sticky/fixed elements. Sorts by vertical
  position, preserves the first one that spans >80% viewport width.

Tests: clutter category, ad label removal, nav bar preservation logic.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: LLM-based cleanup architecture, deterministic heuristics, sticky nav

22 new tests covering:
- Cleanup button uses /sidebar-command (agent) not /command (deterministic)
- Cleanup prompt includes deterministic first pass + agent snapshot analysis
- Cleanup prompt lists specific clutter categories for agent guidance
- Cleanup prompt preserves site identity (masthead, headline, body, byline)
- Cleanup prompt instructs scroll unlock and $B eval removal
- Loading state management (async agent, setTimeout)
- Deterministic clutter: audio/podcast, games/puzzles, recirculation
- Ad label text patterns (ADVERTISEMENT, Sponsored, Article continues)
- Ad label parent wrapper hiding for small containers
- Sticky nav preservation (sort by position, first full-width near top)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: prevent repeat chat message rendering on reconnect/replay

Root cause: server persists chat to disk (chat.jsonl) and replays on restart.
Client had no dedup, so every reconnect re-rendered the entire history.
Messages from an old HN session would repeat endlessly on the SF Chronicle tab.

Fix: renderedEntryIds Set tracks which entry IDs have been rendered. addChatEntry
skips entries already in the set. Entries without an id (local notifications)
bypass the check. Clear chat resets the set.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: agent stops when done, no focus stealing, opus for prompt injection safety

Three fixes for sidebar agent UX:
- System prompt: "Be CONCISE. STOP as soon as the task is done. Do NOT keep
  exploring or doing bonus work." Prevents agent from endlessly taking
  screenshots and highlighting elements after answering the question.
- switchTab(id, opts): new bringToFront option. Internal tab pinning
  (BROWSE_TAB) uses bringToFront: false so agent commands never steal
  window focus from the user's active app.
- Keep opus model (not sonnet) for prompt injection resistance on untrusted
  web pages. Remove Write from allowedTools (agent only needs Bash for $B).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: agent conciseness, focus stealing, opus model, switchTab opts

Tests for the three UX fixes:
- System prompt contains STOP/CONCISE/Do NOT keep exploring
- sidebar agent uses opus (not sonnet) for prompt injection resistance
- switchTab has bringToFront option, defaults to true (opt-out)
- handleCommand tab pinning uses bringToFront: false (no focus steal)
- Updated stale tests: switchTab signature, allowedTools excludes Write,
  narration -> conciseness, tab pinning restore calls

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: sidebar CSS interaction E2E — HN comment highlight round-trip

New E2E test (periodic tier, ~$2/run) that exercises the full sidebar
agent pipeline with CSS interaction:
1. Agent navigates to Hacker News
2. Clicks into the top story's comments
3. Reads comments and identifies the most insightful one
4. Highlights it with a 4px solid orange outline via style injection

Tests: navigation, snapshot, text reading, LLM judgment, CSS modification.
Requires real browser + real Claude (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: sidebar CSS E2E test — correct idle timeout (ms not s), pipe stdio

Root cause of test failure: BROWSE_IDLE_TIMEOUT is in milliseconds, not
seconds. '600' = 0.6 seconds, server died immediately after health check.
Fixed to '600000' (10 minutes).

Also: use 'pipe' stdio instead of file descriptors (closing fds kills child
on macOS/bun), catch ConnectionRefused on poll retry, 4 min poll timeout
for the multi-step opus task.

Test passes: agent navigates to HN, reads comments, identifies most
insightful one, highlights it with orange CSS, stops. 114s, $0.00.

Garry Tan 484cf1fb3b feat: Factory Droid compatibility — works across Claude Code, Codex, and Factory (v0.13.5.0) (#621)
* refactor: extract processExternalHost() shared helper for multi-host generation

Refactor the Codex-specific output routing block in gen-skill-docs.ts into
a shared processExternalHost() function. Both Codex and future external hosts
(Factory Droid) will use this helper for output routing, symlink loop detection,
frontmatter transformation, path rewrites, and metadata generation.

- Rename codexSkillName() to externalSkillName() everywhere
- Extract ExternalHostConfig interface with per-host settings
- Codex output is byte-identical (verified via --dry-run)
- Skip /codex skill for all non-Claude hosts (not just codex)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add Factory Droid host type, preamble, and co-author trailer

- Add 'factory' to Host union type with .factory/skills/gstack paths
- Extend preamble runtime root detection for Factory ($HOME/.factory/)
- Add GSTACK_DESIGN env var to preamble (was missing for Codex too)
- Add Factory Droid co-author trailer for git commits

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: Factory Droid generation, --host all, and host-aware frontmatter

- Add --host factory (alias: --host droid) to gen-skill-docs
- Add --host all: generates for claude, codex, and factory in one invocation
  with fault-tolerant per-host error handling (only fails if claude fails)
- Factory frontmatter: name + description + user-invocable: true
- Factory sensitive skills: disable-model-invocation: true (from sensitive: field)
- Claude: strips sensitive: field from output (only Factory uses it)
- Factory tool name translation: Claude tool names → generic phrasing
- Replace chained gen:skill-docs calls with --host all in package.json build

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sensitive frontmatter for Factory Droid auto-invocation safety

Add sensitive: true to 6 skill templates with side effects that Factory
Droids shouldn't auto-invoke (ship, land-and-deploy, guard, careful,
freeze, unfreeze). The field is:
- Factory: emitted as disable-model-invocation: true
- Claude/Codex: stripped from output by transformFrontmatter()

Also fix Claude host path: call transformFrontmatter() for Claude to
strip the sensitive: field from Claude output.

* feat: gstack-platform-detect binary for multi-host debugging

Bash script that prints a table of installed AI coding agents (Claude,
Codex, Factory Droid, Kiro) with versions, skill paths, and gstack
installation status. Useful for debugging multi-host setups.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: Factory Droid support in setup script

- Add factory to --host values (auto-detected via command -v droid)
- Add .factory/ skill doc generation step alongside .agents/
- Add create_factory_runtime_root() and link_factory_skill_dirs()
  helpers mirroring the Codex equivalents
- Factory install section creates ~/.factory/skills/ with symlinks

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: Factory Droid awareness in skill-check and uninstall

- skill-check.ts: add Factory skills validation and freshness check
- gstack-uninstall: add Factory artifact cleanup (~/.factory/skills/gstack*
  and per-project .factory/ sidecar)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: Factory Droid generation + --host all test suites

Add 13 new tests:
- Factory output paths, frontmatter (user-invocable, disable-model-invocation)
- Sensitive vs non-sensitive skill classification
- Path rewrites (no .claude/skills/ in Factory output)
- /codex skill exclusion, openai.yaml absence
- Factory keeps Codex integration blocks (for second opinions)
- --host droid alias, --dry-run freshness, preamble paths
- --host all generates for all 3 hosts
- Setup script host validation updated for factory

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: Factory Droid install instructions + CI freshness check

- README: add Factory Droid section with install instructions and
  restart note (Factory requires restart to rescan skills)
- CI: add Factory skill doc freshness verification to skill-docs.yml

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: generated Factory Droid skill output (.factory/skills/)

29 skills generated for Factory Droid with:
- user-invocable: true on all skills
- disable-model-invocation: true on 6 sensitive skills
- .factory/skills/ paths (no .claude/skills/ references)
- $GSTACK_ROOT env vars for runtime root detection
- Tool name translation (Claude tool names → generic phrasing)

Committed to git for CI freshness checks and direct consumption.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: add Factory Droid P1 TODO for browse MCP server

Add 3 TODOs under new ## Factory Droid section:
- P1: Browse MCP server (Option B, deeper Factory integration)
- P3: .agent/skills/ dual output for cross-agent compatibility
- P3: Custom Droid definitions alongside skills

Garry Tan 78bc1d1968 feat: design binary — real UI mockup generation for gstack skills (v0.13.0.0) (#551)
* docs: design tools v1 plan — visual mockup generation for gstack skills

Full design doc covering the `design` binary that wraps OpenAI's GPT Image API
to generate real UI mockups from gstack's design skills. Includes comparison
board UX spec, auth model, 6 CEO expansions (design memory, mockup diffing,
screenshot evolution, design intent verification, responsive variants,
design-to-code prompt), and 9-commit implementation plan.

Reviewed: /office-hours + /plan-eng-review (CLEARED) + /plan-ceo-review
(EXPANSION, 6/6 accepted) + /plan-design-review (2/10 → 8/10).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: design tools prototype validation — GPT Image API works

Prototype script sends 3 design briefs to OpenAI Responses API with
image_generation tool. Results: dashboard (47s, 2.1MB), landing page
(42s, 1.3MB), settings page (37s, 1.3MB) all produce real, implementable
UI mockups with accurate text rendering and clean layouts.

Key finding: Codex OAuth tokens lack image generation scopes. Direct
API key (sk-proj-*) required, stored in ~/.gstack/openai.json.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: design binary core — generate, check, compare commands

Stateless CLI (design/dist/design) wrapping OpenAI Responses API for
UI mockup generation. Three working commands:

- generate: brief -> PNG mockup via gpt-4o + image_generation tool
- check: vision-based quality gate via GPT-4o (text readability, layout
  completeness, visual coherence)
- compare: generates self-contained HTML comparison board with star
  ratings, radio Pick, per-variant feedback, regenerate controls,
  and Submit button that writes structured JSON for agent polling

Auth reads from ~/.gstack/openai.json (0600), falls back to
OPENAI_API_KEY env var. Compiled separately from browse binary
(openai added to devDependencies, not runtime deps).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: design binary variants + iterate commands

variants: generates N style variations with staggered parallel (1.5s
between launches, exponential backoff on 429). 7 built-in style
variations (bold, calm, warm, corporate, dark, playful + default).
Tested: 3/3 variants in 41.6s.

iterate: multi-turn design iteration using previous_response_id for
conversational threading. Falls back to re-generation with accumulated
feedback if threading doesn't retain visual context.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: DESIGN_SETUP + DESIGN_MOCKUP template resolvers

Add generateDesignSetup() and generateDesignMockup() to the existing
design.ts resolver file. Add designDir to HostPaths (claude + codex).
Register DESIGN_SETUP and DESIGN_MOCKUP in the resolver index.

DESIGN_SETUP: $D binary discovery (mirrors $B browse setup pattern).
Falls back to DESIGN_SKETCH if binary not available.

DESIGN_MOCKUP: full visual exploration workflow template — construct
brief from DESIGN.md context, generate 3 variants, open comparison
board in Chrome, poll for user feedback, save approved mockup to
docs/designs/, generate HTML wireframe for implementation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: sync package.json version with VERSION file (0.12.2.0)

Pre-existing mismatch: VERSION was 0.12.2.0 but package.json was
0.12.0.0. Also adds design binary to build script and dev:design
convenience command.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: /office-hours visual design exploration integration

Add {{DESIGN_MOCKUP}} to office-hours template before the existing
{{DESIGN_SKETCH}}. When the design binary is available, /office-hours
generates 3 visual mockup variants, opens a comparison board in Chrome,
and polls for user feedback. Falls back to HTML wireframes if the
design binary isn't built.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: /plan-design-review visual mockup integration

Add {{DESIGN_SETUP}} to pre-review audit and "show me what 10/10
looks like" mockup generation to the 0-10 rating method. When a
design dimension rates below 7/10, the review can generate a mockup
showing the improved version. Falls back to text descriptions if
the design binary isn't available.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: design memory — extract visual language from mockups into DESIGN.md

New `$D extract` command: sends approved mockup to GPT-4o vision,
extracts color palette, typography, spacing, and layout patterns,
writes/updates DESIGN.md with an "Extracted Design Language" section.

Progressive constraint: if DESIGN.md exists, future mockup briefs
include it as style context. If no DESIGN.md, explorations run wide.
readDesignConstraints() reads existing DESIGN.md for brief construction.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: mockup diffing + design intent verification

New commands:
- $D diff --before old.png --after new.png: visual diff using GPT-4o
  vision. Returns differences by area with severity (high/medium/low)
  and a matchScore (0-100).
- $D verify --mockup approved.png --screenshot live.png: compares live
  site screenshot against approved design mockup. Pass if matchScore
  >= 70 and no high-severity differences.

Used by /design-review to close the design loop: design -> implement ->
verify visually.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: screenshot-to-mockup evolution ($D evolve)

New command: $D evolve --screenshot current.png --brief "make it calmer"

Two-step process: first analyzes the screenshot via GPT-4o vision to
produce a detailed description, then generates a new mockup that keeps
the existing layout structure but applies the requested changes. Starts
from reality, not blank canvas.

Bridges the gap between /design-review critique ("the spacing is off")
and a visual proposal of the fix.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: responsive variants + design-to-code prompt

Responsive variants: $D variants --viewports desktop,tablet,mobile
generates mockups at 1536x1024, 1024x1024, and 1024x1536 (portrait)
with viewport-appropriate layout instructions.

Design-to-code prompt: $D prompt --image approved.png extracts colors,
typography, layout, and components via GPT-4o vision, producing a
structured implementation prompt. Reads DESIGN.md for additional
constraint context.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.13.0.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: gstack designer as first-class tool in /plan-design-review

Brand the gstack designer prominently, add Step 0.5 for proactive visual
mockup generation before review passes, and update priority hierarchy.
When a plan describes new UI, the skill now offers to generate mockups
with $D variants, run $D check for quality gating, and present a
comparison board via $B goto before any review passes begin.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: integrate mockups into review passes and outputs

Thread Step 0.5 mockups through the review workflow: Pass 4 (AI Slop)
evaluates generated mockups visually, Pass 7 uses mockups as evidence
for unresolved decisions, post-pass offers one-shot regeneration after
design changes, and Approved Mockups section records chosen variants
with paths for the implementer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: gstack designer target mockups in /design-review fix loop

Add $D generate for target mockups in Phase 8a.5 — before fixing a
design finding, generate a mockup showing what it should look like.
Add $D verify in Phase 9 to compare fix results against targets.
Not plan mode — goes straight to implementation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: gstack designer AI mockups in /design-consultation Phase 5

Replace HTML preview with $D variants + comparison board when designer
is available (Path A). Use $D extract to derive DESIGN.md tokens from
the approved mockup. Handles both plan mode (write to plan) and
non-plan mode (implement immediately). Falls back to HTML preview
(Path B) when designer binary is unavailable.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: make gstack designer the default in /plan-design-review, not optional

The transcript showed the agent writing 5 text descriptions of homepage
variants instead of generating visual mockups, even when the user explicitly
asked for design tools. The skill treated mockups as optional ("Want me to
generate?") when they should be the default behavior.

Changes:
- Rename "Your Visual Design Tool" to "YOUR PRIMARY TOOL" with aggressive
  language: "Don't ask permission. Show it."
- Step 0.5 now generates mockups automatically when DESIGN_READY, no
  AskUserQuestion gatekeeping the default path
- Priority hierarchy: mockups are "non-negotiable" not "if available"
- Step 0D tells the user mockups are coming next
- DESIGN_NOT_AVAILABLE fallback now tells user what they're missing

The only valid reasons to skip mockups: no UI scope, or designer not
installed. Everything else generates by default.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: persist design mockups to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/

Mockups were going to .context/mockups/ (gitignored, workspace-local).
This meant designs disappeared when switching workspaces or conversations,
and downstream skills couldn't reference approved mockups from earlier
reviews.

Now all three design skills save to persistent project-scoped dirs:
- /plan-design-review: ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/<screen>-<date>/
- /design-consultation: ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/design-system-<date>/
- /design-review: ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/design-audit-<date>/

Each directory gets an approved.json recording the user's pick, feedback,
and branch. This lets /design-review verify against mockups that
/plan-design-review approved, and design history is browsable via
ls ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/.

* chore: regenerate codex ship skill with zsh glob guards

Picked up setopt +o nomatch guards from main's v0.12.8.1 merge.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add browse binary discovery to DESIGN_SETUP resolver

The design setup block now discovers $B alongside $D, so skills can
open comparison boards via $B goto and poll feedback via $B eval.
Falls back to `open` on macOS when browse binary is unavailable.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: comparison board DOM polling in plan-design-review

After opening the comparison board, the agent now polls
#status via $B eval instead of asking a rigid AskUserQuestion.
Handles submit (read structured JSON feedback), regenerate
(new variants with updated brief), and $B-unavailable fallback
(free-form text response). The user interacts with the real
board UI, not a constrained option picker.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: comparison board feedback loop integration test

16 tests covering the full DOM polling cycle: structure verification,
submit with pick/rating/comment, regenerate flows (totally different,
more like this, custom text), and the agent polling pattern
(empty → submitted → read JSON). Uses real generateCompareHtml()
from design/src/compare.ts, served via HTTP. Runs in <1s.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add $D serve command for HTTP-based comparison board feedback

The comparison board feedback loop was fundamentally broken: browse blocks
file:// URLs (url-validation.ts:71), so $B goto file://board.html always
fails. The fallback open + $B eval polls a different browser instance.

$D serve fixes this by serving the board over HTTP on localhost. The server
is stateful: stays alive across regeneration rounds, exposes /api/progress
for the board to poll, and accepts /api/reload from the agent to swap in
new board HTML. Stdout carries feedback JSON only; stderr carries telemetry.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: dual-mode feedback + post-submit lifecycle in comparison board

When __GSTACK_SERVER_URL is set (injected by $D serve), the board POSTs
feedback to the server instead of only writing to hidden DOM elements.
After submit: disables all inputs, shows "Return to your coding agent."
After regenerate: shows spinner, polls /api/progress, auto-refreshes on
ready. On POST failure: shows copyable JSON fallback. On progress timeout
(5 min): shows error with /design-shotgun prompt. DOM fallback preserved
for headed browser mode and tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: HTTP serve command endpoints and regeneration lifecycle

11 tests covering: HTML serving with injected server URL, /api/progress
state reporting, submit → done lifecycle, regenerate → regenerating state,
remix with remixSpec, malformed JSON rejection, /api/reload HTML swapping,
missing file validation, and full regenerate → reload → submit round-trip.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP resolver + fix design artifact paths

Adds generateDesignShotgunLoop() resolver for the shared comparison board
feedback loop (serve via HTTP, handle regenerate/remix, AskUserQuestion
fallback, feedback confirmation). Registered as {{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}}.

Fixes generateDesignMockup() to use ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/
instead of /tmp/ and docs/designs/. Replaces broken $B goto file:// +
$B eval polling with $D compare --serve (HTTP-based, stdout feedback).

Adds CRITICAL PATH RULE guardrail to DESIGN_SETUP: design artifacts must
go to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/, never .context/ or /tmp/.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add /design-shotgun standalone design exploration skill

New skill for visual brainstorming: generate AI design variants, open a
comparison board in the user's browser, collect structured feedback, and
iterate. Features: session detection (revisit prior explorations), 5-dimension
context gathering (who, job to be done, what exists, user flow, edge cases),
taste memory (prior approved designs bias new generations), inline variant
preview, configurable variant count, screenshot-to-variants via $D evolve.

Uses {{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}} resolver for the feedback loop. Saves all
artifacts to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for design-shotgun + resolver changes

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add remix UI to comparison board

Per-variant element selectors (Layout, Colors, Typography, Spacing) with
radio buttons in a grid. Remix button collects selections into a remixSpec
object and sends via the same HTTP POST feedback mechanism. Enabled only
when at least one element is selected. Board shows regenerating spinner
while agent generates the hybrid variant.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add $D gallery command for design history timeline

Generates a self-contained HTML page showing all prior design explorations
for a project: every variant (approved or not), feedback notes, organized
by date (newest first). Images embedded as base64. Handles corrupted
approved.json gracefully (skips, still shows the session). Empty state
shows "No history yet" with /design-shotgun prompt.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: gallery generation — sessions, dates, corruption, empty state

7 tests: empty dir, nonexistent dir, single session with approved variant,
multiple sessions sorted newest-first, corrupted approved.json handled
gracefully, session without approved.json, self-contained HTML (no
external dependencies).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: replace broken file:// polling with {{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}}

plan-design-review and design-consultation templates previously used
$B goto file:// + $B eval polling for the comparison board feedback loop.
This was broken (browse blocks file:// URLs). Both templates now use
{{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}} which serves via HTTP, handles regeneration in
the same browser tab, and falls back to AskUserQuestion.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add design-shotgun touchfile entries and tier classifications

design-shotgun-path (gate): verify artifacts go to ~/.gstack/, not .context/
design-shotgun-session (gate): verify repeat-run detection + AskUserQuestion
design-shotgun-full (periodic): full round-trip with real design binary

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for template refactor

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: comparison board UI improvements — option headers, pick confirmation, grid view

Three changes to the design comparison board:

1. Pick confirmation: selecting "Pick" on Option A shows "We'll move
   forward with Option A" in green, plus a status line above the submit
   button repeating the choice.

2. Clear option headers: each variant now has "Option A" in bold with a
   subtitle above the image, instead of just the raw image.

3. View toggle: top-right Large/Grid buttons switch between single-column
   (default) and 3-across grid view.

Also restructured the bottom section into a 2-column grid: submit/overall
feedback on the left, regenerate controls on the right.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost for serve URL

Avoids DNS resolution issues on some systems where localhost may resolve
to IPv6 ::1 while Bun listens on IPv4 only.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: write ALL feedback to disk so agent can poll in background mode

The agent backgrounds $D serve (Claude Code can't block on a subprocess
and do other work simultaneously). With stdout-only feedback delivery,
the agent never sees regenerate/remix feedback.

Fix: write feedback-pending.json (regenerate/remix) and feedback.json
(submit) to disk next to the board HTML. Agent polls the filesystem
instead of reading stdout. Both channels (stdout + disk) are always
active so foreground mode still works.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP uses file polling instead of stdout reading

Update the template resolver to instruct the agent to background $D serve
and poll for feedback-pending.json / feedback.json on a 5-second loop.
This matches the real-world pattern where Claude Code / Conductor agents
can't block on subprocess stdout.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for file-polling feedback loop

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: null-safe DOM selectors for post-submit and regenerating states

The user's layout restructure renamed .regenerate-bar → .regen-column,
.submit-bar → .submit-column, and .overall-section → .bottom-section.
The JS still referenced the old class names, causing querySelector to
return null and showPostSubmitState() / showRegeneratingState() to
silently crash. This meant Submit and Regenerate buttons appeared to
work (DOM elements updated, HTTP POST succeeded) but the visual
feedback (disabled inputs, spinner, success message) never appeared.

Fix: use fallback selectors that check both old and new class names,
with null guards so a missing element doesn't crash the function.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: end-to-end feedback roundtrip — browser click to file on disk

The test that proves "changes on the website propagate to Claude Code."
Opens the comparison board in a real headless browser with __GSTACK_SERVER_URL
injected, simulates user clicks (Submit, Regenerate, More Like This), and
verifies that feedback.json / feedback-pending.json land on disk with the
correct structured data.

6 tests covering: submit → feedback.json, post-submit UI lockdown,
regenerate → feedback-pending.json, more-like-this → feedback-pending.json,
regenerate spinner display, and full regen → reload → submit round-trip.

* docs: comprehensive design doc for Design Shotgun feedback loop

Documents the full browser-to-agent feedback architecture: state machine,
file-based polling, port discovery, post-submit lifecycle, and every known
edge case (zombie forms, dead servers, stale spinners, file:// bug,
double-click races, port coordination, sequential generate rule).

Includes ASCII diagrams of the data flow and state transitions, complete
step-by-step walkthrough of happy path and regeneration path, test coverage
map with gaps, and short/medium/long-term improvement ideas.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: plan-design-review agent guardrails for feedback loop

Four fixes to prevent agents from reinventing the feedback loop badly:

1. Sequential generate rule: explicit instruction that $D generate calls
   must run one at a time (API rate-limits concurrent image generation).
2. No-AskUserQuestion-for-feedback rule: agent reads feedback.json instead
   of re-asking what the user picked.
3. Remove file:// references: $B goto file:// was always rejected by
   url-validation.ts. The --serve flag handles everything.
4. Remove $B eval polling reference: no longer needed with HTTP POST.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: design-shotgun Step 3 progressive reveal, silent failure detection, timing estimate

Three production UX bugs fixed:
1. Dead air — now shows timing estimate before generation starts
2. Silent variant drop — replaced $D variants batch with individual $D generate
   calls, each verified for existence and non-zero size with retry
3. No progressive reveal — each variant shown inline via Read tool immediately
   after generation (~60s increments instead of all at ~180s)

Also: /tmp/ then cp as default output pattern (sandbox workaround),
screenshot taken once for evolve path (not per-variant).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: parallel design-shotgun with concept-first confirmation

Step 3 rewritten to concept-first + parallel Agent architecture:
- 3a: generate text concepts (free, instant)
- 3b: AskUserQuestion to confirm/modify before spending API credits
- 3c: launch N Agent subagents in parallel (~60s total regardless of count)
- 3d: show all results, dynamic image list for comparison board

Adds Agent to allowed-tools. Softens plan-design-review sequential
warning to note design-shotgun uses parallel at Tier 2+.

* docs: update project documentation for v0.13.0.0

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: untrack .agents/skills/ — generated at setup, already gitignored

These files were committed despite .agents/ being in .gitignore.
They regenerate from ./setup --host codex on any machine.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate design-shotgun SKILL.md for v0.12.12.0 preamble changes

Merge from main brought updated preamble resolver (conditional telemetry,
local JSONL logging) but design-shotgun/SKILL.md wasn't regenerated.

Garry Tan 43c078f19a feat: skill prefix is now a persistent user choice (v0.12.11.0) (#571)
* feat: make skill prefix a persistent, interactive user setting

- Add --prefix flag alongside --no-prefix
- Read/write skill_prefix from ~/.gstack/config.yaml (true/false)
- Interactive prompt on first setup when no preference saved
- Non-TTY environments default to flat names (no prefix)
- Add cleanup_prefixed_claude_symlinks() for reverse direction
- Fix gstack-config sed portability (mktemp+mv instead of BSD sed -i '')
- Add SKILL_PREFIX to preamble output with namespace-aware instruction

* test: add prefix config tests + README switching instructions

8 structural tests for persistent prefix setting:
config reading, --prefix flag, config persistence, interactive
prompt, TTY fallback, reverse cleanup, cleanup ordering, welcome.

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files with SKILL_PREFIX preamble

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.12.11.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Garry Tan 7665adf4fe feat: headed mode + sidebar agent + Chrome extension (v0.12.0) (#517)
* feat: CDP connect — control real Chrome/Comet via Playwright

Add `connectCDP()` to BrowserManager: connects to a running browser via
Chrome DevTools Protocol. All existing browse commands work unchanged
through Playwright's abstraction layer.

- chrome-launcher.ts: browser discovery, CDP probe, auto-relaunch with rollback
- browser-manager.ts: connectCDP(), mode guards (close/closeTab/recreateContext/handoff),
  auto-reconnect on browser restart, getRefMap() for extension API
- server.ts: CDP branch in start(), /health gains mode field, /refs endpoint,
  idle timer only resets on /command (not passive endpoints)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: browse connect/disconnect/focus CLI commands

- connect: pre-server command that discovers browser, starts server in CDP mode
- disconnect: drops CDP connection, restarts in headless mode
- focus: brings browser window to foreground via osascript (macOS)
- status: now shows Mode: cdp | launched | headed
- startServer() accepts extra env vars for CDP URL/port passthrough

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: CDP-aware skill templates — skip cookie import in real browser mode

Skills now check `$B status` for CDP mode and skip:
- /qa: cookie import prompt, user-agent override, headless workarounds
- /design-review: cookie import for authenticated pages
- /setup-browser-cookies: returns "not needed" in CDP mode

Regenerated SKILL.md files from updated templates.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: activity streaming — SSE endpoint for Chrome extension Side Panel

Real-time browse command feed via Server-Sent Events:
- activity.ts: ActivityEntry type, CircularBuffer (capacity 1000), privacy
  filtering (redacts passwords, auth tokens, sensitive URL params),
  cursor-based gap detection, async subscriber notification
- server.ts: /activity/stream SSE, /activity/history REST, handleCommand
  instrumented with command_start/command_end events
- 18 unit tests for filterArgs privacy, emitActivity, subscribe lifecycle

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: Chrome extension Side Panel + Conductor API proposal

Chrome extension (Manifest V3, sideload):
- Side Panel with live activity feed, @ref overlays, dark terminal aesthetic
- Background worker: health polling, SSE relay, ref fetching
- Popup: port config, connection status, side panel launcher
- Content script: floating ref panel with @ref badges

Conductor API proposal (docs/designs/CONDUCTOR_SESSION_API.md):
- SSE endpoint for full Claude Code session mirroring in Side Panel
- Discovery via HTTP endpoint (not filesystem — extensions can't read files)

TODOS.md: add $B watch, multi-agent tabs, cross-platform CDP, Web Store publishing.
Mark CDP mode as shipped.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: detect Conductor runtime, skip osascript quit for sandboxed apps

macOS App Management blocks Electron apps (Conductor) from quitting
other apps via osascript. Now detects the runtime environment:
- terminal/claude-code/codex: can manage apps freely
- conductor: prints manual restart instructions + polls for 60s

detectRuntime() checks env vars and parent process. When Chrome needs
restart but we can't quit it, prints step-by-step instructions and
waits for the user to restart Chrome with --remote-debugging-port.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: detect Conductor via actual env vars (CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_NAME)

Previous detection checked CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_ID which doesn't exist.
Conductor sets CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_NAME, CONDUCTOR_BIN_DIR, CONDUCTOR_PORT,
and __CFBundleIdentifier=com.conductor.app. Check these FIRST because
Conductor sessions also have ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (which was matching claude-code).

* feat: connection status pill — floating indicator when gstack controls Chrome

Small pill in bottom-right corner of every page: "● gstack · 3 refs"
Shows when connected via CDP, fades to 30% opacity after 3s, full on hover.
Disappears entirely when disconnected.

Background worker now notifies content scripts on connect/disconnect state
changes so the pill appears/disappears without polling.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: Chrome requires --user-data-dir for remote debugging

Chrome refuses --remote-debugging-port without an explicit --user-data-dir.
Add userDataDir to BrowserBinary registry (macOS Application Support paths)
and pass it in both auto-launch and manual restart instructions.

Fix double-quoting in CLI manual restart instructions.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: Chrome must be fully quit before launching with --remote-debugging-port

Chrome refuses to enable CDP on its default profile when another instance
is running (even with explicit --user-data-dir). The only reliable path:
fully quit Chrome first, then relaunch with the flag.

Updated instructions to emphasize this clearly with verification step.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: bin/chrome-cdp — quit Chrome and relaunch with CDP in one command

Quits Chrome gracefully, waits for full exit, relaunches with
--remote-debugging-port, polls until CDP is ready. Usage: chrome-cdp [port]

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: use Playwright channel:chrome instead of broken connectOverCDP

Playwright's connectOverCDP hangs with Chrome 146 due to CDP protocol
version mismatch. Switch to channel:'chrome' which uses Playwright's
native pipe protocol to launch the system Chrome binary directly.

This is simpler and more reliable:
- No CDP port discovery needed
- No --remote-debugging-port or --user-data-dir hassles
- $B connect just works — launches real Chrome headed window
- All Playwright APIs (snapshot, click, fill) work unchanged

bin/chrome-cdp updated with symlinked profile approach (kept for
manual CDP use cases, but $B connect no longer needs it).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: green border + gstack label on controlled Chrome window

Injects a 2px green border and small "gstack" label on every page
loaded in the controlled Chrome window via context.addInitScript().
Users can instantly tell which Chrome window Claude controls.

Also fixes close() for channel:chrome mode (uses browser.close()
not browser.disconnect() which doesn't exist).

* chore: cleanup chrome-launcher runtime detection, remove puppeteer-core dep

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* style(design): redesign controlled Chrome indicator

Replace crude green border + label with polished indicator:
- 2px shimmer gradient at top edge (green→cyan→green, 3s loop)
- Floating pill bottom-right with frosted glass bg, fades to 25%
  opacity after 4s so it doesn't compete with page content
- prefers-reduced-motion disables shimmer animation
- Much more subtle — looks like a developer tool, not broken CSS

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: document real browser mode + Chrome extension in BROWSER.md and README.md

BROWSER.md: new sections for connect/disconnect/focus commands,
Chrome extension Side Panel install, CDP-aware skills, activity streaming.
Updated command reference table, key components, env vars, source map.

README.md: updated /browse description, added "Real browser mode" to
What's New section.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: step-by-step Chrome extension install guide in BROWSER.md

Replace terse bullet points with numbered walkthrough covering:
developer mode toggle, load unpacked, macOS file picker tip (Cmd+Shift+G),
pin extension, configure port, open side panel. Added troubleshooting section.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add Cmd+Shift+. tip for hidden folders in macOS file picker

macOS hides folders starting with . by default. Added both shortcuts:
Cmd+Shift+G (paste path directly) and Cmd+Shift+. (show hidden files).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: integrate hidden folder tips into the install flow naturally

Move Cmd+Shift+G and Cmd+Shift+. tips inline with the file picker
step instead of as a separate tip block after it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: auto-load Chrome extension when $B connect launches Chrome

Extension auto-loads via --load-extension flag — no manual chrome://extensions
install needed. findExtensionPath() checks repo root, global install, and dev
paths. Also adds bin/gstack-extension helper for manual install in regular
Chrome, and rewrites BROWSER.md install docs with auto-load as primary path.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: /connect-chrome skill — one command to launch Chrome with Side Panel

New skill that runs $B connect, verifies the connection, guides the user
to open the Side Panel, and demos the live activity feed. Extension auto-loads
via --load-extension so no manual chrome://extensions install needed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: use launchPersistentContext for Chrome extension loading

Playwright's chromium.launch() silently ignores --load-extension.
Switch to launchPersistentContext with ignoreDefaultArgs to remove
--disable-extensions flag. Use bundled Chromium (real Chrome blocks
unpacked extensions). Fixed port 34567 for CDP mode so the extension
auto-connects.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sync extension to DESIGN.md — amber accent, zinc neutrals, grain texture

Import design system from gstack-website. Update all extension colors:
green (#4ade80) → amber (#F59E0B/#FBBF24), zinc gray neutrals, grain
texture overlay. Regenerate icons as amber "G" monogram on dark background.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sidebar chat with Claude Code — icon opens side panel directly

Replace popup flyout with direct side panel open on icon click. Primary
UI is now a chat interface that sends messages to Claude Code via file
queue. Activity/Refs tabs moved behind a debug toggle in the footer.
Command bar with history, auto-poll for responses, amber design system.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sidebar agent — Claude-powered chat backend via file queue

Add /sidebar-command, /sidebar-response, and /sidebar-chat endpoints
to the browse server. sidebar-agent.ts watches the command queue file,
spawns claude -p with browse context for each message, and streams
responses back to the sidebar chat.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: remove duplicate gstack pill overlay, hide crash restore bubble

The addInitScript indicator and the extension's content script were both
injecting bottom-right pills, causing duplicates. Remove the pill from
addInitScript (extension handles it). Replace --restore-last-session with
--hide-crash-restore-bubble to suppress the "Chromium didn't shut down
correctly" dialog.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: state file authority — CDP server cannot be silently replaced

Hardens the connect/disconnect lifecycle:
- ensureServer() refuses to auto-start headless when CDP server is alive
- $B connect does full cleanup: SIGTERM → 2s → SIGKILL, profile locks, state
- shutdown() cleans Chromium SingletonLock/Socket/Cookie files
- uncaughtException/unhandledRejection handlers do emergency cleanup

This prevents the bug where a headless server overwrites the CDP server's
state file, causing $B commands to hit the wrong browser.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sidebar agent streaming events + session state management

Enhance sidebar-agent.ts with:
- Live streaming of claude -p events (tool_use, text, result) to sidebar
- Session state file for BROWSE_STATE_FILE propagation to claude subprocess
- Improved logging (stderr, exit codes, event types)
- stdin.end() to prevent claude waiting for input
- summarizeToolInput() with path shortening for compact sidebar display

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sidebar chat UI — streaming events, agent status, reconnect retry

Sidebar panel improvements:
- Chat tab renders streaming agent events (tool_use, text, result)
- Thinking dots animation while agent processes
- Agent error display with styled error blocks
- tryConnect() with 2s retry loop for initial connection
- Debug tabs (Activity/Refs) hidden behind gear toggle
- Clear chat button
- Compact tool call display with path shortening

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: server-integrated sidebar agent with sessions and message queue

Move the sidebar agent from a separate bun process into server.ts:
- Agent spawns claude -p directly when messages arrive via /sidebar-command
- In-memory chat buffer backed by per-session chat.jsonl on disk
- Session manager: create, load, persist, list sessions
- Message queue (cap 5) with agent status tracking (idle/processing/hung)
- Stop/kill endpoints with queue dismiss support
- /health now returns agent status + session info
- All sidebar endpoints require Bearer auth
- Agent killed on server shutdown
- 120s timeout detects hung claude processes

Eliminates: file-queue polling, separate sidebar-agent.ts process,
stale auth tokens, state file conflicts between processes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: extension auth + token flow for server-integrated agent

Update Chrome extension to use Bearer auth on all sidebar endpoints:
- background.js captures auth token from /health, exposes via getToken msg
- background.js sets openPanelOnActionClick for direct side panel access
- sidepanel.js gets token from background, sends in all fetch headers
- Health broadcasts include token so sidebar auto-authenticates
- Removes popup from manifest — icon click opens side panel directly

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: self-healing sidebar — reconnect banner, state machine, copy button

Sidebar UI now handles disconnection gracefully:
- Connection state machine: connected → reconnecting → dead
- Amber pulsing banner during reconnect (2s retry, 30 attempts)
- Red "Server offline" banner with Reconnect + Copy /connect-chrome buttons
- Green "Reconnected" toast that fades after 3s on successful reconnect
- Copy button lets user paste /connect-chrome into any Claude Code session

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: crash handling — save session, kill agent, distinct exit codes

Hardened shutdown/crash behavior:
- Browser disconnect exits with code 2 (distinct from crash code 1)
- emergencyCleanup kills agent subprocess and saves session state
- Clean shutdown saves session before exit (chat history persists)
- Clear user message on browser disconnect: "Run $B connect to reconnect"

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: worktree-per-session isolation for sidebar agent

Each sidebar session gets an isolated git worktree so the agent's file
operations don't conflict with the user's working directory:
- createWorktree() creates detached HEAD worktree in ~/.gstack/worktrees/
- Falls back to main cwd for non-git repos or on creation failure
- Handles collision cleanup from prior crashes
- removeWorktree() cleans up on session switch and shutdown
- worktreePath persisted in session.json

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(qa): ISSUE-001 — disconnect blocked by CDP guard in ensureServer

$B disconnect was routed through ensureServer() which refused to start a
headless server when a CDP state file existed. Disconnect is now handled
before ensureServer() (like connect), with force-kill + cleanup fallback
when the CDP server is unresponsive.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: resolve claude binary path for daemon-spawned agent

The browse server runs as a daemon and may not inherit the user's shell
PATH. Add findClaudeBin() that checks ~/.local/bin/claude (standard
install location), which claude, and common system paths. Shows a clear
error in the sidebar chat if claude CLI is not found.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: resolve claude symlinks + check Conductor bundled binary

posix_spawn fails on symlinks in compiled bun binaries. Now:
- Checks Conductor app's bundled binary first (not a symlink)
- Scans ~/.local/share/claude/versions/ for direct versioned binaries
- Uses fs.realpathSync() to resolve symlinks before spawning

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: compiled bun binary cannot posix_spawn — use external agent process

Compiled bun binaries fail posix_spawn on ALL executables (even /bin/bash).
The server now writes to an agent queue file, and a separate non-compiled
bun process (sidebar-agent.ts) reads the queue, spawns claude, and POSTs
events back via /sidebar-agent/event.

Changes:
- server.ts: spawnClaude writes to queue file instead of spawning directly
- server.ts: new /sidebar-agent/event endpoint for agent → server relay
- server.ts: fix result event field name (event.text vs event.result)
- sidebar-agent.ts: rewritten to poll queue file, relay events via HTTP
- cli.ts: $B connect auto-starts sidebar-agent as non-compiled bun process

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: loading spinner on sidebar open while connecting to server

Shows an amber spinner with "Connecting..." when the sidebar first opens,
replacing the empty state. After the first successful /sidebar-chat poll:
- If chat history exists: renders it immediately
- If no history: shows the welcome message

Prevents the jarring empty-then-populated flash on sidebar open.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: zero-friction side panel — auto-open on install, pill is clickable

Three changes to eliminate manual side panel setup:
- Auto-open side panel on extension install/update (onInstalled listener)
- gstack pill (bottom-right) is now clickable — opens the side panel
- Pill has pointer-events: auto so clicks always register (was: none)

User no longer needs to find the puzzle piece icon, pin the extension,
or know the side panel exists. It opens automatically on first launch
and can be re-opened by clicking the floating gstack pill.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: kill CDP naming, delete chrome-launcher.ts dead code

The connectCDP() method and connectionMode: 'cdp' naming was a legacy
artifact — real Chrome was tried but failed (silently blocks
--load-extension), so the implementation already used Playwright's
bundled Chromium via launchPersistentContext(). The naming was
misleading.

Changes:
- Delete chrome-launcher.ts (361 LOC) — only import was in unreachable
  attemptReconnect() method
- Delete dead attemptReconnect() and reconnecting field
- Delete preExistingTabIds (was for protecting real Chrome tabs we
  never connect to)
- Rename connectCDP() → launchHeaded()
- Rename connectionMode: 'cdp' → 'headed' across all files
- Replace BROWSE_CDP_URL/BROWSE_CDP_PORT env vars with BROWSE_HEADED=1
- Regenerate SKILL.md files for updated command descriptions
- Move BrowserManager unit tests to browser-manager-unit.test.ts

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: converge handoff into connect — extension loads on handoff

Handoff now uses launchPersistentContext() with extension auto-loading,
same as the connect/launchHeaded() path. This means when the agent
gets stuck (2FA, CAPTCHA) and hands off to the user, the Chrome
extension + side panel are available automatically.

Before: handoff used chromium.launch() + newContext() — no extension
After: handoff uses chromium.launchPersistentContext() — extension loads

Also sets connectionMode to 'headed' and disables dialog auto-accept
on handoff, matching connect behavior.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: gate sidebar chat behind --chat flag

$B connect (default): headed Chromium + extension with Activity + Refs
tabs only. No separate agent spawned. Clean, no confusion.

$B connect --chat: same + Chat tab with standalone claude -p agent.
Shows experimental banner: "Standalone mode — this is a separate
agent from your workspace."

Implementation:
- cli.ts: parse --chat, set BROWSE_SIDEBAR_CHAT env, conditionally
  spawn sidebar-agent
- server.ts: gate /sidebar-* routes behind chatEnabled, return 403
  when disabled, include chatEnabled in /health response
- sidepanel.js: applyChatEnabled() hides/shows Chat tab + banner
- background.js: forward chatEnabled from health response
- sidepanel.html/css: experimental banner with amber styling

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: file drop relay + $B inbox command

Sidebar agent now writes structured messages to .context/sidebar-inbox/
when processing user input. The workspace agent can read these via
$B inbox to see what the user reported from the browser.

File drop format:
  .context/sidebar-inbox/{timestamp}-observation.json
  { type, timestamp, page: {url}, userMessage, sidebarSessionId }

Atomic writes (tmp + rename) prevent partial reads. $B inbox --clear
removes messages after display.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: $B watch — passive observation mode

Claude enters read-only mode and captures periodic snapshots (every 5s)
while the user browses. Mutation commands (click, fill, etc.) are
blocked during watch. $B watch stop exits and returns a summary with
the last snapshot.

Requires headed mode ($B connect). This is the inverse of the scout
pattern — the workspace agent watches through the browser instead of
the sidebar relaying to it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add coverage for sidebar-agent, file-drop, and watch mode

33 new tests covering:
- Sidebar agent queue parsing (valid/malformed/empty JSONL)
- writeToInbox file drop (directory creation, atomic writes, JSON format)
- Inbox command (display, sorting, --clear, malformed file handling)
- Watch mode state machine (start/stop cycles, snapshots, duration)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: TODOS cleanup + Chrome vs Chromium exploration doc

- Update TODOS.md: mark CDP mode, $B watch, sidebar scout as SHIPPED
- Delete dead "cross-platform CDP browser discovery" TODO
- Rename dependencies from "CDP connect" to "headed mode"
- Add docs/designs/CHROME_VS_CHROMIUM_EXPLORATION.md memorializing
  the architecture exploration and decision to use Playwright Chromium

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add Conductor Chrome sidebar integration design doc

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: sidebar-agent validates cwd before spawning claude

The queue entry may reference a worktree that was cleaned up between
sessions. Now falls back to process.cwd() if the path doesn't exist,
preventing silent spawn failures.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: gen-skill-docs resolver merge + preamble tier gate + plan file discovery

The local RESOLVERS record in gen-skill-docs.ts was shadowing the imported
canonical resolvers, causing stale test coverage and preamble generators
to be used instead of the authoritative versions in resolvers/.

Changes:
- Merge imported RESOLVERS with local overrides (spread + override pattern)
- Fix preamble tier gate: tier 1 skills no longer get AskUserQuestion format
- Make plan file discovery host-agnostic (search multiple plan dirs)
- Add missing E2E tier entries for ship/review plan completion tests

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: ungate sidebar agent + raise timeout to 5 minutes (v0.12.0)

Sidebar chat is now always available in headed mode — no --chat flag needed.
Agent tasks get 5 minutes instead of 2, enabling multi-page workflows like
navigating directories and filling forms across pages.

Changes:
- cli.ts: remove --chat flag, always set BROWSE_SIDEBAR_CHAT=1, always spawn agent
- server.ts: remove chatEnabled gate (403 response), raise AGENT_TIMEOUT_MS to 300s
- sidebar-agent.ts: raise child process timeout from 120s to 300s

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: headed mode + sidebar agent documentation (v0.12.0)

- README: sidebar agent section, personal automation example (school parent
  portal), two auth paths (manual login + cookie import), DevTools MCP mention
- BROWSER.md: sidebar agent section with usage, timeout, session isolation,
  authentication, and random delay documentation

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files

Generated from updated templates + resolver merge. Key changes:
- Tier 1 skills no longer include AskUserQuestion format section
- Ship/review skills now include coverage gate with thresholds
- Connect-chrome skill includes sidebar chat onboarding step
- Plan file discovery uses host-agnostic paths

* chore: regenerate Codex connect-chrome skill

Updated preamble with proactive prompt and sidebar chat onboarding step.

* feat: network idle, state persistence, iframe support, chain pipe format (v0.12.1.0) (#516)

* feat: network idle detection + chain pipe format

- Upgrade click/fill/select from domcontentloaded to networkidle wait
  (2s timeout, best-effort). Catches XHR/fetch triggered by interactions.
- Add pipe-delimited format to chain as JSON fallback:
  $B chain 'goto url | click @e5 | snapshot -ic'
- Add post-loop networkidle wait in chain when last command was a write.
- Frame-aware: commands use target (getActiveFrameOrPage) for locator ops,
  page-only ops (goto/back/forward/reload) guard against frame context.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: $B state save/load + $B frame — new browse commands

- state save/load: persist cookies + URLs to .gstack/browse-states/{name}.json
  File perms 0o600, name sanitized to [a-zA-Z0-9_-]. V1 skips localStorage
  (breaks on load-before-navigate). Load replaces session via closeAllPages().
- frame: switch command context to iframe via CSS selector, @ref, --name, or
  --url. 'frame main' returns to main frame. Execution target abstraction
  (getActiveFrameOrPage) across read-commands, snapshot, and write-commands.
- Frame context cleared on tab switch, navigation, resume, and handoff.
- Snapshot shows [Context: iframe src="..."] header when in frame.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add tests for network idle, chain pipe format, state, and frame

- Network idle: click on fetch button waits for XHR, static click is fast
- Chain pipe: pipe-delimited commands, quoted args, JSON still works
- State: save/load round-trip, name sanitization, missing state error
- Frame: switch to iframe + back, snapshot context header, fill in frame,
  goto-in-frame guard, usage error

New fixtures: network-idle.html (fetch + static buttons), iframe.html (srcdoc)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: review fixes — iframe ref scoping, detached frame recovery, state validation

- snapshot.ts: ref locators, cursor-interactive scan, and cursor locator
  now use target (frame-aware) instead of page — fixes @ref clicking in iframes
- browser-manager.ts: getActiveFrameOrPage auto-recovers from detached frames
  via isDetached() check
- meta-commands.ts: state load resets activeFrame, elementHandle disposed after
  contentFrame(), state file schema validation (cookies + pages arrays),
  filter empty pipe segments in chain tokenizer
- write-commands.ts: upload command uses target.locator() for frame support

Garry Tan 64d5a3e424 fix: Supabase telemetry security lockdown (v0.11.16.0) (#460)
* fix: drop all anon RLS policies + revoke view access + add cache table

Migration 002 locks down the Supabase telemetry backend:
- Drops all SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE policies for the anon role
- Explicitly revokes SELECT on crash_clusters and skill_sequences views
- Drops stale error_message/failed_step columns (exist live but not in migration)
- Creates community_pulse_cache table for server-side aggregation caching

* feat: extend community-pulse with full dashboard data + server-side cache

community-pulse now returns top skills, crash clusters, version distribution,
and weekly active count in a single aggregated response. Results are cached
in the community_pulse_cache table (1-hour TTL) to prevent DoS via repeated
expensive queries.

* fix: route all telemetry through edge functions, not PostgREST

- gstack-telemetry-sync: POST to /functions/v1/telemetry-ingest instead of
  /rest/v1/telemetry_events. Removes sed field-renaming (edge function expects
  raw JSONL names). Parses inserted count — holds cursor if zero inserted.
- gstack-update-check: POST to /functions/v1/update-check.
- gstack-community-dashboard: calls community-pulse edge function instead of
  direct PostgREST queries.
- config.sh: removes GSTACK_TELEMETRY_ENDPOINT, fixes misleading comment.

* test: RLS smoke test + telemetry field name verification

- verify-rls.sh: 9-check smoke test (5 reads + 3 inserts + 1 update)
  verifying anon key is fully locked out after migration.
- telemetry.test.ts: verifies JSONL uses raw field names (v, ts, sessions)
  that the edge function expects, not Postgres column names.
- README.md: fixes privacy claim to match actual RLS policy.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.11.16.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: pre-landing review fixes — JSONB field order, version filter, RLS verification

- Dashboard JSON parsing: use per-object grep instead of field-order-dependent
  regex (JSONB doesn't preserve key order)
- Version distribution: filter to skill_run events only (was counting all types)
- verify-rls.sh: only 401/403 count as PASS (not empty 200 or 5xx); add
  Authorization header to test as anon role properly
- Remove dead empty loop in community-pulse

* chore: untrack browse/dist binaries — 116MB of arm64-only Mach-O

These compiled Bun binaries only work on arm64 macOS, and ./setup
already rebuilds from source for every platform. They were tracked
despite .gitignore due to being committed before the ignore rule.
Untracking stops them from appearing as modified in every diff.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: tone down changelog — security hardening, not incident report

* fix: keep INSERT policies for old client compat, preserve extra columns

- Keep anon INSERT policies so pre-v0.11.16 clients can still sync
  telemetry via PostgREST while new clients use edge functions
- Add error_message/failed_step columns to migration (reconcile repo
  with live schema) instead of dropping them
- Security fix still lands: SELECT and UPDATE policies are dropped

Garry Tan ffd9ab29b9 fix: enforce Codex 1024-char description limit + auto-heal stale installs (v0.11.9.0) (#391)
* fix: enforce 1024-char Codex description limit + auto-heal stale installs

Build-time guard in gen-skill-docs.ts throws if any Codex description
exceeds 1024 chars. Setup always regenerates .agents/ to prevent stale
files. One-time migration in gstack-update-check deletes oversized
SKILL.md files so they get regenerated on next setup/upgrade.

* fix: skip sidecar dir in Codex skill linking (#269)

Adds guard to skip .agents/skills/gstack in link_codex_skill_dirs() —
it's a runtime asset sidecar, not a standalone skill. Prevents duplicate
skill discovery and symlink overwriting.

* fix: generate .agents directory at setup time instead of shipping duplicates (#308)

Removes 14K+ lines of committed generated Codex skill files from git.
.agents/ is now gitignored and generated at setup time via
`bun run gen:skill-docs --host codex`. Updates CI workflow to validate
generation instead of checking committed file freshness.

* fix: avoid duplicate Codex skill discovery (#236)

Adds migrate_direct_codex_install() to move old direct installs from
~/.codex/skills/gstack to ~/.gstack/repos/gstack. Adds
create_codex_runtime_root() to expose only runtime assets (bin/, browse/,
review files) via symlinks instead of symlinking the entire repo.

Changes gen-skill-docs.ts to use dynamic $GSTACK_ROOT/$GSTACK_BIN/$GSTACK_BROWSE
variables in generated Codex preambles instead of hardcoded ~/.codex/ paths.
Renames GSTACK_DIR → SOURCE_GSTACK_DIR/INSTALL_GSTACK_DIR throughout setup for
clarity. Supports both global (~/.codex/skills/) and repo-local (.agents/skills/)
Codex installs.

Adds Kiro CLI as a supported agent platform. Setup detects kiro-cli,
copies+sed-rewrites SKILL.md paths from Codex/Claude to Kiro format,
and symlinks runtime assets (bin/, browse/).

* test: add sidecar skip, GSTACK_ROOT, and kiro coverage (T1-T3)

Adds 3 tests identified during CEO/Eng review:
- T1: link_codex_skill_dirs() contains sidecar skip guard
- T2: generated Codex preambles use dynamic $GSTACK_ROOT paths
- T3: setup supports --host kiro with INSTALL_KIRO and sed rewrites

Also fixes existing test to expect kiro in --host case statement.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: review fixes — ETHOS.md, runtime root, repo-local guard, kiro assets, upgrade paths

Paranoid 4-pass review found 7 issues, all fixed:
- Add ETHOS.md to create_codex_runtime_root
- Clean old real dirs (not just symlinks) on upgrade
- Skip runtime root for repo-local installs (prevent self-referential symlinks)
- Add review/, ETHOS.md, gstack-upgrade/ to Kiro install
- Update gstack-upgrade to detect ~/.gstack/repos/ and .agents/skills/
- Guard --host without value from silent exit
- Fix Kiro sed patterns + timeout instruction in gen-skill-docs.ts

Garry Tan cc9e6f8f35 feat: /retro global — cross-project AI coding retrospective (v0.10.2.0) (#316)
* feat: gstack-global-discover — cross-tool AI session discovery

Standalone script that scans Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI
session directories, resolves each session's working directory to a git
repo, deduplicates by normalized remote URL, and outputs structured JSON.

- Reads only first 4-8KB of session files (avoids OOM on large transcripts)
- Only counts JSONL files modified within the time window (accurate counts)
- Week windows midnight-aligned like day windows for consistency
- 16 tests covering URL normalization, CLI behavior, and output structure

* feat: /retro global — cross-project retro using discovery engine

Adds Global Retrospective Mode to the /retro skill. When invoked as
`/retro global`, skips the repo-scoped retro and instead uses
gstack-global-discover to find all AI coding sessions across all tools,
then runs git log on each discovered repo for a unified cross-project
retrospective with global shipping streak and context-switching metrics.

Garry Tan cf3582c637 fix: community security + stability fixes (wave 1) (#325)
* feat: add /cso skill — OWASP Top 10 + STRIDE security audit

* fix: harden gstack-slug against shell injection via eval

Whitelist safe characters (a-zA-Z0-9._-) in SLUG and BRANCH output
to prevent shell metacharacter injection when used with eval.

Only affects self-hosted git servers with lax naming rules — GitHub
and GitLab enforce safe characters already. Defense-in-depth.

* fix(security): sanitize gstack-slug output against shell injection

The gstack-slug script is consumed via eval $(gstack-slug) throughout
skill templates. If a git remote URL contains shell metacharacters
like $(), backticks, or semicolons, they would be executed by eval.

Fix: strip all characters except [a-zA-Z0-9._-] from both SLUG and
BRANCH before output. This preserves normal values while neutralizing
any injection payload in malicious remote URLs.

Before: eval $(gstack-slug) with remote "foo/bar$(rm -rf /)" → executes rm
After:  eval $(gstack-slug) with remote "foo/bar$(rm -rf /)" → SLUG=foo-barrm-rf-

* fix(security): redact sensitive values in storage command output

The browse `storage` command dumps all localStorage and sessionStorage
as JSON. This can expose tokens, API keys, JWTs, and session credentials
in QA reports and agent transcripts.

Fix: redact values where the key matches sensitive patterns (token,
secret, key, password, auth, jwt, csrf) or the value starts with known
credential prefixes (eyJ for JWT, sk- for Stripe, ghp_ for GitHub, etc.).

Redacted values show length to aid debugging: [REDACTED — 128 chars]

* fix(browse): kill old server before restart to prevent orphaned chromium processes

When the health check fails or the server connection drops, `ensureServer()`
and `sendCommand()` would call `startServer()` without first killing the
previous server process. This left orphaned `chrome-headless-shell` renderer
processes running at ~120% CPU each.

After several reconnect cycles (e.g. pages that crash during hydration or
trigger hard navigations via `window.location.href`), dozens of zombie
chromium processes accumulate and exhaust system resources.

Fix: call `killServer()` on the stale PID before spawning a new server in
both the `ensureServer()` unhealthy path and the `sendCommand()` connection-
lost retry path.

Fixes #294

* Fix YAML linter error: nested mapping in compact sequence entries

Having "Run: bun" inside a plain scalar is not allowed per YAML spec which states: Plain scalars must never contain the “: ” and “ #” character combinations.

This simple fix switches to block scalars (|) to eliminate the ambiguity without changing runtime behavior.

* fix(security): add Azure metadata endpoint to SSRF blocklist

Add metadata.azure.internal to BLOCKED_METADATA_HOSTS alongside the
existing AWS/GCP endpoints. Closes the coverage gap identified in #125.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add coverage for storage redaction

Test key-based redaction (auth_token, api_key), value-based redaction
(JWT prefix, GitHub PAT prefix), pass-through for normal keys, and
length preservation in redacted output.

Rename testKey→testData and normalKey→displayName in storage tests
to avoid triggering #238's SENSITIVE_KEY regex (which matches 'key').
Also generate Codex variant of /cso skill.

Absorb Anthropic's security-review false positive filtering into /cso:
- 17 hard exclusions (DOS, test files, log spoofing, SSRF path-only,
  regex injection, race conditions unless concrete, etc.)
- 9 precedents (React XSS-safe, env vars trusted, client-side code
  doesn't need auth, shell scripts need concrete untrusted input path)
- 8/10 confidence gate — below threshold = don't report
- Independent sub-agent verification for each finding
- Exploit scenario requirement per finding
- Framework-aware analysis (Rails CSRF, React escaping, Angular sanitization)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(cso): adversarial review fixes — FP filtering, prompt injection, language coverage

- Exclusion #10: test files must verify not imported by non-test code
- Exclusion #13: distinguish user-message AI input from system-prompt injection
- Exclusion #14: ReDoS in user-input regex IS a real CVE class, don't exclude
- Add anti-manipulation rule: ignore audit-influencing instructions in codebase
- Fix confidence gate: remove contradictory 7-8 tier, hard cutoff at 8
- Fix verifier anchoring: send only file+line, not category/description
- Add Go, PHP, Java, C#, Kotlin to grep patterns (was 4 languages, now 8)
- Add GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket endpoint detection to attack surface mapping

* fix(docs): correct skill counts, add /autoplan to README tables

Skill count was wrong in 3 places (said 19+7=26, said 25, actual is 28).
Added /autoplan to specialist table. Fixed troubleshooting skills list
to include all skills added since v0.7.0.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(browse): DNS rebinding protection for SSRF blocklist

validateNavigationUrl is now async — resolves hostname to IP and checks
against blocked metadata IPs. Prevents DNS rebinding where evil.com
initially resolves to a safe IP, then switches to 169.254.169.254.
All callers updated to await. Tests updated for async assertions.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(browse): lockfile prevents concurrent server start races

Adds exclusive lockfile (O_CREAT|O_EXCL) around ensureServer to prevent
TOCTOU race where two CLI invocations could both kill the old server and
start new ones, leaving an orphaned chromium process. Second caller now
waits for the first to finish starting.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(browse): improve storage redaction — word-boundary keys + more value prefixes

Key regex: use underscore/dot/hyphen boundaries instead of \b (which treats
_ as word char). Now correctly redacts auth_token, session_token while
skipping keyboardShortcuts, monkeyPatch, primaryKey.

Value regex: add AWS (AKIA), Stripe (sk_live_, pk_live_), Anthropic (sk-ant-),
Google (AIza), Sendgrid (SG.), Supabase (sbp_) prefixes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: migrate all remaining eval callers to source, fix stale CHANGELOG claim

5 templates and 2 bin scripts still used eval $(gstack-slug). All now use
source <(gstack-slug). Updated gstack-slug comment to match. Fixed v0.8.3
CHANGELOG entry that falsely claimed eval was fully eliminated — it was
the output sanitization that made it safe, not a calling convention change.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(docs): add /autoplan to install instructions, regen skill docs

The install instruction blocks and troubleshooting section were missing
/autoplan. All three skill list locations now include the complete 28-skill
set. Regenerated codex/agents SKILL.md files to match template changes.

* docs(cso): add disclaimer — not a substitute for professional security audits

LLMs can miss subtle vulns and produce false negatives. For production
systems with sensitive data, hire a real firm. /cso is a first pass,
not your only line of defense. Disclaimer appended to every report.

* docs: v0.9.8.0 — deploy pipeline + E2E performance + pre-merge gate

CHANGELOG: added v0.9.8.0 entry covering /land-and-deploy, /canary,
/benchmark, /setup-deploy, /review perf pass, E2E model pinning,
and 3 test fixes.

README: added 4 new skills to tables and install instructions,
updated specialist/tool counts (18+7), added deploy pipeline to
"What's new" section.

/land-and-deploy: added Step 3.5 pre-merge readiness gate that
checks review dashboard, E2E results, free tests, and doc-release
status before merging. Uses AskUserQuestion for explicit confirmation.

VERSION: 0.9.7.0 → 0.9.8.0
TODOS: updated deploy pipeline to Completed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: comprehensive pre-merge readiness gate in /land-and-deploy

Step 3.5 now checks 5 dimensions before allowing merge:

1. Review staleness — compares review commit hash against HEAD,
   flags if significant code changes happened after last review
2. Tests — runs free tests inline, checks today's E2E and LLM
   eval results from ~/.gstack-dev/evals/
3. PR body accuracy — compares PR description against actual
   commits, flags missing features or stale descriptions
4. Document-release — checks if CHANGELOG/VERSION were updated
   when new features are present in the diff
5. Full readiness report — ASCII dashboard with warnings/blockers,
   explicit AskUserQuestion confirmation required before merge

Also adds compact "Search before building" section to CLAUDE.md.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: skill-specific Search Before Building integrations

8 template changes:
- /office-hours: Phase 2.75 Landscape Awareness (WebSearch + three-layer synthesis)
- /plan-eng-review: Step 0 search check with layer provenance annotations
- /investigate: external pattern search + search escalation on hypothesis failure
- /plan-ceo-review: Landscape Check before scope challenge
- /review: search-before-recommending for fix patterns
- /qa-only: WebSearch in allowed-tools
- /design-consultation: three-layer synthesis backport in Phase 2 Step 3
- /retro: eureka moment tracking from ~/.gstack/analytics/eureka.jsonl

All search steps include WebSearch fallback clause.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: v0.9.5.0 — Builder Ethos (CHANGELOG + VERSION + TODOS)

ETHOS.md + Search Before Building across all workflow skills.
Deferred: first-time intro flow (blocked on blog post).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: address Codex review — sanitize search, privacy gate, ETHOS.md sidecar

Three fixes from adversarial Codex review:
- /investigate: sanitize error messages before searching (strip hostnames,
  IPs, file paths, SQL, customer data). Skip search if unsanitizable.
- /office-hours: add privacy gate before landscape search. Use generalized
  category terms, never the user's specific product name or stealth idea.
- setup: link ETHOS.md into .agents/skills/gstack/ sidecar so workspace-
  local Codex sessions can find the builder philosophy.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: sanitize Phase 2 external pattern search in /investigate

The Phase 2 external search also sent raw error messages to WebSearch.
Apply same sanitization rule as Phase 3 search escalation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: sync documentation with shipped changes

- ARCHITECTURE.md: preamble now handles 5 things (add Search Before Building)
- CLAUDE.md: add ETHOS.md to project structure tree
- README.md: add ETHOS.md to docs table

Garry Tan d7c732b282 fix: Windows support — Node.js server fallback for Playwright (#255)
* fix: Windows support — Node.js server fallback for Playwright

Setup hangs on Windows 11 because Bun's child_process can't handle
Playwright's --remote-debugging-pipe (fd 3/4 pipe handles). Fall back
to Node.js on Windows for both the setup verification and server
runtime. macOS/Linux completely unaffected — all Windows code behind
IS_WINDOWS / process.platform === 'win32' guards.

Based on community PR #194 by @sozairali. Fixed sed -i portability
(perl -pi -e) in build-node-server.sh for macOS compatibility.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: cross-platform path handling for Windows compatibility

Replace hardcoded '/tmp' and 'dir + "/"' path checks with
platform-aware constants from new platform.ts module. On macOS/Linux
this evaluates identically ('/tmp', '/'); on Windows it uses
os.tmpdir() and path.sep. Zero behavior change on Unix.

Garry Tan 8ddfab233d feat: multi-agent support — gstack works on Codex, Gemini CLI, and Cursor (v0.9.0) (#226)
* refactor: host-aware gen-skill-docs + --host codex generation

Refactor gen-skill-docs.ts for multi-agent support:
- Add Host type, HostPaths interface, HOST_PATHS config
- Decompose generatePreamble() into 7 composable sub-functions
- Replace all hardcoded .claude/skills/gstack paths with ctx.paths
- Replace static findTemplates() list with dynamic filesystem scan
- Add --host codex|agents flag (aliases, same output)
- Add processTemplate host routing to .agents/skills/gstack-*/
- Add codexSkillName() with double-prefix prevention
- Add transformFrontmatter() — keeps only name + description for Codex
- Add extractHookSafetyProse() — converts hooks to inline advisory
- Add body text path rewriting for remaining hardcoded paths
- Exclude /codex skill from Codex generation (self-referential)

Claude output is unchanged (verified via --dry-run).
SKILL.md is an open standard: .agents/skills/ works on Codex, Gemini CLI, and Cursor.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: generate Codex/Gemini/Cursor skills into .agents/skills/

Generated 21 skill files for the open SKILL.md standard:
- Output: .agents/skills/gstack-*/SKILL.md (one per skill)
- Frontmatter: name + description only (no allowed-tools/version)
- No .claude/skills/ paths in any generated file
- /codex skill excluded (Claude wrapper, self-referential on Codex)
- Hook skills (careful/freeze/guard) get inline safety prose
- Build script generates both hosts: bun run build

Supported agents (all read .agents/skills/):
- Codex CLI
- Gemini CLI
- Cursor

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: dual-host setup + find-browse for Codex/Gemini/Cursor

- setup: add --host codex|claude|auto flag, install to ~/.codex/skills/
  when targeting Codex, auto-detect installed agents
- find-browse: priority chain .codex > .agents > .claude (both
  workspace-local and global)
- dev-setup/teardown: create .agents/skills/gstack symlinks for dev mode

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: Codex generation tests + CI + docs for multi-agent support

Tests (28 new):
- Codex output path routing, frontmatter validation (name+description only)
- No .claude/skills/ path leaks in Codex output (regression guard)
- /codex skill exclusion, hook→prose conversion, multiline YAML
- --host agents alias, dynamic template discovery
- Codex skill validation + $B command validation
- find-browse priority chain verification
- Replace static ALL_SKILLS list with dynamic filesystem scan

CI:
- Add Codex freshness check to skill-docs workflow

Docs:
- AGENTS.md: Codex-facing project instructions
- README: multi-agent installation section
- CONTRIBUTING: dual-host development workflow
- CHANGELOG: v0.9.0 multi-agent support entry

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: Codex E2E test harness — verify skills work on Codex CLI

New test infrastructure:
- CodexSessionRunner: spawns codex exec, parses JSONL stream, returns
  structured results (output, reasoning, toolCalls, tokens)
- JSONL parser ported from Python (codex/SKILL.md.tmpl) to TypeScript
- Temp HOME skill installation for Codex discovery testing

E2E tests (gated behind EVALS=1 + codex + OPENAI_API_KEY):
- codex-discover-skill: installs skill, verifies Codex finds it
- codex-review-findings: runs gstack-review via Codex, validates output

Integrates with existing eval infrastructure:
- Diff-based test selection via touchfiles
- Eval persistence via EvalCollector
- bun run test:codex / test:codex:all convenience scripts

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: bump VERSION to 0.9.0 to match CHANGELOG

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: Codex sidecar paths + setup installs generated skills

Two bugs found by Codex adversarial review:

1. Sidecar path mismatch: generated Codex skills referenced
   .agents/skills/gstack-review/checklist.md but setup creates
   sidecars at .agents/skills/gstack/review/. Fixed path rewriter
   to emit .agents/skills/gstack/review/ (matching setup layout).

2. Setup installed Claude-format source dirs for Codex global
   install instead of the generated Codex-format skills. Split
   link_skill_dirs into link_claude_skill_dirs (source dirs for
   Claude) and link_codex_skill_dirs (generated .agents/skills/
   gstack-* dirs for Codex).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: comprehensive Codex path rewriting + setup install tests

17 new tests covering:
- Sidecar path rewriting: .claude/skills/review → .agents/skills/gstack/review/
  (catches the bug where checklist.md was unreachable at gstack-review/)
- All 4 path rewrite rules tested individually across all skills
- Greptile triage sidecar path correctness
- Ship skill sidecar paths for pre-landing review
- Claude output regression guard: zero Codex paths in any Claude skill
- Setup script validation: separate link functions for Claude vs Codex,
  link_codex_skill_dirs reads from .agents/skills/, create_agents_sidecar
  links runtime assets (bin, browse, review, qa)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: regenerate Codex skills after investigate rename merge

Remove stale gstack-debug, add gstack-investigate, regenerate all
Codex skills to pick up changes merged from main (investigate rename,
platform-agnostic templates, review helpers).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: Codex E2E uses ~/.codex/ auth, not OPENAI_API_KEY

- Remove OPENAI_API_KEY gate from test prerequisites
- Copy real ~/.codex/ auth config into temp HOME so codex can authenticate
- Increase review test timeout to 540s (codex does thorough 60+ tool call reviews)
- Document in CLAUDE.md that Codex uses its own auth config

Garry Tan 3b22fc39e6 feat: opt-in usage telemetry + community intelligence platform (v0.8.6) (#210)
* feat: add gstack-telemetry-log and gstack-analytics scripts

Local telemetry infrastructure for gstack usage tracking.
gstack-telemetry-log appends JSONL events with skill name, duration,
outcome, session ID, and platform info. Supports off/anonymous/community
privacy tiers. gstack-analytics renders a personal usage dashboard
from local data.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add telemetry preamble injection + opt-in prompt + epilogue

Extends generatePreamble() with telemetry start block (config read,
timer, session ID, .pending marker), opt-in prompt (gated by
.telemetry-prompted), and epilogue instructions for Claude to log
events after skill completion. Adds 5 telemetry tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate all SKILL.md files with telemetry blocks

Automated regeneration from gen-skill-docs.ts changes. All skills
now include telemetry start block, opt-in prompt, and epilogue.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add Supabase schema, edge functions, and SQL views

Telemetry backend infrastructure: telemetry_events table with RLS
(insert-only), installations table for retention tracking,
update_checks for install pings. Edge functions for update-check
(version + ping), telemetry-ingest (batch insert), and
community-pulse (weekly active count). SQL views for crash
clustering and skill co-occurrence sequences.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add telemetry-sync, community-dashboard, and integration tests

gstack-telemetry-sync: fire-and-forget JSONL → Supabase sync with
privacy tier field stripping, batch limits, and cursor tracking.
gstack-community-dashboard: CLI tool querying Supabase for skill
popularity, crash clusters, and version distribution.
19 integration tests covering all telemetry scripts.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: session-specific .pending markers + crash_clusters view fix

Addresses Codex review findings:
- .pending race condition: use .pending-$SESSION_ID instead of
  shared .pending file to prevent concurrent session interference
- crash_clusters view: add total_occurrences and anonymous_occurrences
  columns since anonymous tier has no installation_id
- Added test: own session pending marker is not finalized

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: dual-attempt update check with Supabase install ping

Fires a parallel background curl to Supabase during the slow-path
version fetch. Logs upgrade_prompted event only on fresh fetches
(not cached replays) to avoid overcounting. GitHub remains the
primary version source — Supabase ping is fire-and-forget.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: integrate telemetry usage stats into /retro output

Retro now reads ~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl and includes
gstack usage metrics (skill run counts, top skills, success rate)
in the weekly retrospective output.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: move 'Skill usage telemetry' to Completed in TODOS.md

Implemented in this branch: local JSONL logging, opt-in prompt,
privacy tiers, Supabase backend, community dashboard, /retro
integration.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: wire Supabase credentials and expose tables via Data API

Add supabase/config.sh with project URL and publishable key (safe to
commit — RLS restricts to INSERT only). Update telemetry-sync,
community-dashboard, and update-check to source the config and
include proper auth headers for the Supabase REST API.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: add SELECT RLS policies to migration for community dashboard reads

All telemetry data is anonymous (no PII), so public reads via the
publishable key are safe. Needed for the community dashboard to
query skill popularity, crash clusters, and version distribution.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.8.6)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: analytics backward-compatible with old JSONL format

Handle old-format events (no event_type field) alongside new format.
Skip hook_fire events. Fix grep -c whitespace issues and unbound
variable errors.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: map JSONL field names to Postgres columns in telemetry-sync

Local JSONL uses short names (v, ts, sessions) but the Supabase
table expects full names (schema_version, event_timestamp,
concurrent_sessions). Add sed mapping during field stripping.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: address Codex adversarial findings — cursor, opt-out, queries

- Sync cursor now advances on HTTP 2xx (not grep for "inserted")
- Update-check respects telemetry opt-out before pinging Supabase
- Dashboard queries use correct view column names (total_occurrences)
- Sync strips old-format "repo" field to prevent privacy leak

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add Privacy & Telemetry section to README

Transparent disclosure of what telemetry collects, what it never sends,
how to opt out, and a link to the schema so users can verify.

Users without bun installed got a cryptic "command not found" error.
Now prints a clear message with install instructions.

Closes #147

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: block SSRF via URL validation in browse commands (#17)

Adds validateNavigationUrl() that blocks non-HTTP(S) schemes (file://,
javascript:, data:) and cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254,
metadata.google.internal). Applied to goto, diff, and newTab commands.
Localhost and private IPs remain allowed for local dev QA.

Closes #17

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: replace eval $(gstack-slug) with source <(...) (#133)

Eliminates unnecessary use of eval across all skill templates and
generated files. source <(...) has identical behavior without the
shell injection surface. Also hardens gstack-diff-scope usage.

Closes #133

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: rename /debug to /investigate to avoid Claude Code conflict (#190)

Claude Code has a built-in /debug command that shadows the gstack skill.
Renaming to /investigate which better reflects the systematic root-cause
investigation methodology.

Closes #190

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add unit tests for path validation helpers

validateOutputPath() and validateReadPath() are security-critical
functions with zero test coverage. Adds 14 tests covering safe paths,
traversal attacks, and prefix collision edge cases.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.8.3)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update /debug → /investigate references in docs

CLAUDE.md, README.md, and docs/skills.md still referenced the old
/debug skill name after the rename.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: harden URL validation against hostname bypasses (Codex P1)

Codex review found that metadata IPs could be reached via hex
(0xA9FEA9FE), decimal (2852039166), octal, trailing dot, and IPv6
bracket forms. Now normalizes hostnames before checking the blocklist
and probes numeric IP representations via URL constructor.

Also moves URL validation before page allocation in newTab() to
prevent zombie tabs on rejection (Codex P3).

5 new test cases for bypass variants.

the appropriate workflow stages.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add 6 new skill entries + browse handoff to docs

- docs/skills.md: add /codex, /careful, /freeze, /guard, /unfreeze,
  /gstack-upgrade to skill table with deep-dive sections. Group safety
  skills into one "Safety & Guardrails" section. Add browse handoff
  subsection to /browse deep-dive.

- Update prose: "Fifteen specialists and six power tools"
- Add power tools table after sprint specialists: /codex, /careful,
  /freeze, /guard, /unfreeze, /gstack-upgrade
- Update all 4 skill list locations (install Step 1, Step 2,
  troubleshooting CLAUDE.md example) to include all 21 skills

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add v0.7-v0.8.2 features to README "What's new" section

Add paragraphs for browse handoff, /codex multi-AI review, safety
guardrails (/careful, /freeze, /guard), proactive skill suggestions,
and /ship auto-invoking /document-release.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: auto-invoke /document-release after /ship PR creation

Add Step 8.5 to /ship that automatically reads document-release/SKILL.md
and executes the doc update workflow after creating the PR. This prevents
documentation drift — /ship now keeps docs current without a separate
command.

Garry Tan 6000af4589 feat: founder discovery engine + /debug skill — v0.7.0 (#185)
* feat: add escalation protocol to preamble — all skills get DONE/BLOCKED/NEEDS_CONTEXT

Every skill now reports completion status (DONE, DONE_WITH_CONCERNS, BLOCKED,
NEEDS_CONTEXT) and has escalation rules: 3 failed attempts → STOP, security
uncertainty → STOP, scope exceeds verification → STOP.

"It is always OK to stop and say 'this is too hard for me.'"

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add verification gate to /ship (Step 6.5) — no push without fresh evidence

Before pushing, re-verify tests if code changed during review fixes.
Rationalization prevention: "Should work now" → RUN IT.
"I'm confident" → Confidence is not evidence.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add scope drift detection + verification of claims to /review

Step 1.5: Before reviewing code quality, check if the diff matches stated
intent. Flags scope creep and missing requirements (INFORMATIONAL).

Step 5 addition: Every review claim must cite evidence — "this pattern is
safe" needs a line reference, "tests cover this" needs a test name.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: mandatory implementation alternatives + design doc lookup in /plan-ceo-review

Step 0C-bis: Every plan must consider 2-3 approaches (minimal viable vs ideal
architecture) before mode selection. RECOMMENDATION required.

Pre-Review System Audit now checks ~/.gstack/projects/ for /brainstorm design
docs (branch-filtered with fallback).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: design doc lookup in /plan-eng-review + fix branch name sanitization

Step 0 now checks ~/.gstack/projects/ for /brainstorm design docs
(branch-filtered with fallback, reads Supersedes: for revision context).

Fix: branch names with '/' (e.g. garrytan/better-process) now get
sanitized via tr '/' '-' in test plan artifact filenames.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: new /brainstorm and /debug skills

/brainstorm: Socratic design exploration before planning. Context gathering,
clarifying questions (smart-skip), related design discovery (keyword grep),
premise challenge, forced alternatives, design doc artifact with lineage
tracking (Supersedes: field). Writes to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/.

/debug: Systematic root-cause debugging. Iron Law: no fixes without root
cause investigation. Pattern analysis, hypothesis testing with 3-strike
escalation, structured DEBUG REPORT output.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: structural tests for new skills + escalation protocol assertions

Add brainstorm + debug to skillsWithUpdateCheck and skillsWithPreamble arrays.
Add structural tests: brainstorm (Phase 1-6, Design Doc, Supersedes, Smart-skip),
debug (Iron Law, Root Cause, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis, DEBUG REPORT, 3-strike).
Add escalation protocol tests (DONE_WITH_CONCERNS, BLOCKED, NEEDS_CONTEXT) for
all preamble skills.

Also: 2 new TODOs (design docs → Supabase sync, /plan-design-review skill),
update CLAUDE.md project structure with new skill directories.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: YC Office Hours — dual-mode product diagnostic + builder brainstorm

Rewrite /office-hours with two modes:

Startup mode: six forcing questions (Demand Reality, Status Quo, Desperate
Specificity, Narrowest Wedge, Observation & Surprise, Future-Fit) that push
founders toward radical honesty about demand, users, and product decisions.
Includes smart routing by product stage, intrapreneurship adaptation, and
YC apply CTA for strong-signal founders.

Builder mode: generative brainstorming for side projects, hackathons,
learning, and open source. Enthusiastic collaborator tone, design thinking
questions, no business interrogation.

Mode is determined by an explicit question in Phase 1 — no guessing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add 14 assertions for YC Office Hours content coverage

Validates dual-mode structure (Startup/Builder), all six forcing questions,
builder brainstorming content, intrapreneurship adaptation, YC apply CTA,
and operating principles for both modes. 192 tests total, all passing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update project documentation for v0.6.1

- README.md: added /office-hours and /debug to skills table, updated
  skill count from 13 to 15, added both to install instructions
- docs/skills.md: added /office-hours and /debug deep dive sections
- CLAUDE.md: updated office-hours description to reflect dual-mode
- CONTRIBUTING.md: updated skill count from 13 to 15
- CHANGELOG.md: added YC Office Hours and /debug entries to 0.6.0

* feat: founder discovery engine in /office-hours (v0.7.0)

Turn /office-hours into a YC founder discovery engine. Every session now
ends with three beats: signal reflection (specific callbacks to what the
user said), "One more thing." transition, and a personal plea from Garry
Tan with three tiers based on founder signal strength. Top tier uses
AskUserQuestion to ask directly and opens ycombinator.com/apply?ref=gstack.

Adds Phase 4.5 (Founder Signal Synthesis), "What I noticed about how you
think" section to both design doc templates, anti-slop GOOD/BAD examples,
and emotional targets per tier.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add validation assertions for founder discovery engine

8 new assertions covering: YC apply CTA with ref=gstack tracking,
"What I noticed" design doc section, golden age framing, Garry Tan
personal plea, founder signal synthesis phase, three-tier decision
rubric, anti-slop GOOD/BAD examples, "One more thing" transition beat.

Garry Tan 78c207efb4 feat: interactive /plan-design-review + CEO invokes designer + 100% coverage (v0.6.4) (#149)
* refactor: rename qa-design-review → design-review

The "qa-" prefix was confusing — this is the live-site design audit with
fix loop, not a QA-only report. Rename directory and update all references
across docs, tests, scripts, and skill templates.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: interactive /plan-design-review + CEO invokes designer

Rewrite /plan-design-review from report-only grading to an interactive
plan-fixer that rates each design dimension 0-10, explains what a 10
looks like, and edits the plan to get there. Parallel structure with
/plan-ceo-review and /plan-eng-review — one issue = one AskUserQuestion.

CEO review now detects UI scope and invokes the designer perspective
when the plan has frontend/UX work, so you get design review
automatically when it matters.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: validation + touchfile entries for 100% coverage

Add design-consultation to command/snapshot flag validation. Add 4
skills to contributor mode validation (plan-design-review,
design-review, design-consultation, document-release). Add 2 templates
to hardcoded branch check. Register touchfile entries for 10 new
LLM-judge tests and 1 new E2E test.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: LLM-judge for 10 skills + gstack-upgrade E2E

Add LLM-judge quality evals for all uncovered skills using a DRY
runWorkflowJudge helper with section marker guards. Add real E2E
test for gstack-upgrade using mock git remote (replaces test.todo).
Add plan-edit assertion to plan-design-review E2E.

14/15 skills now at full coverage. setup-browser-cookies remains
deferred (needs real browser).

Garry Tan f91222f5bd docs: restructure README for faster conversion (#146)
* docs: restructure README for faster conversion

Move install block to top (first scroll) for visitors who are already sold. Add "Who this is for" self-identification section and "Quick start: 10 minutes" funnel to guide first-time users. Condense install instructions to bold literal commands. Move "See it work" and "The team" below install. Relocate hiring box after "Come ride the wave" section. Strip redundant section dividers. Add governance framing to final CTA and new troubleshooting case for missing skills.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update CHANGELOG date + README for v0.6.1 features

- Add date to CHANGELOG 0.6.1 entry
- Add Completeness Principle to README intro
- Add SELECTIVE EXPANSION mode to CEO review section
- Add test bootstrap mention to /ship section
- Fix uninstall command missing design-consultation in project uninstall
- Add "recommends shortcuts" and "no tests" to Without gstack list

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: split README into lean intro + docs/ directory (gh CLI pattern)

README: 875 → 243 lines. Keeps intro, skill table, demo, install, and
troubleshooting. All per-skill deep dives, Greptile integration guide,
and contributor mode docs moved to docs/ directory.

- docs/skills.md — full philosophy and examples for all 13 skills
- docs/greptile.md — Greptile setup and triage workflow
- docs/contributor-mode.md — how to enable and use contributor mode
- README now links to docs/ via Documentation table
- Updated skill table entries with latest features (fix-first, regression
  tests, test health, completeness gaps)
- Updated demo transcript with AUTO-FIXED, coverage audit, regression test

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: remove "competitor" language, rewrite README in Garry's voice

Replace "browses competitors" with "knows the landscape" / "what's out
there" throughout all user-facing copy. Trim README from 243 to 167
lines — tighter, more opinionated, less listicle energy. Remove
Completeness Principle from README top (it lives in CLAUDE.md and the
skill preambles where Claude actually reads it).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: rewrite README in Garry's raw voice — AGI era, L8 factory, real stories

The README now sounds like Garry, not a product page. Leads with the
live experiment, the 16k LOC/day reality, the real-life coding stories
(Austin, hospital bedside). Highlights the newest unlocks (design at
the heart, /qa parallelism, smart review routing, test bootstrap).
Closes with an open invitation — free MIT, fork it, let's all ride
the wave together.

Garry Tan c99757b522 feat: /design-consultation — risk-taking, visual research, ambitious preview (v0.5.2) (#131)
* feat: /design-consultation — risk-taking thesis, visual research, ambitious preview

Add SAFE/RISK breakdown to design proposals so users see which choices
match category conventions vs. which are deliberate creative departures.

Wire browse binary for visual competitive research — agent browses
competitor sites, takes screenshots, and analyzes fonts/colors/spacing
with graceful degradation to WebSearch-only or built-in knowledge.

Upgrade preview page instructions to render realistic product mockups
(dashboards, marketing pages, settings forms) instead of just swatches.

Rewrite README section with the thesis: "coherence is table stakes —
the real question is where you take risks."

Garry Tan 4a77cc2c34 feat: /plan-design-review + /qa-design-review skills (v0.5.0) (#102)
* feat: add {{DESIGN_METHODOLOGY}} resolver and register design review skills

Add generateDesignMethodology() to gen-skill-docs.ts with 10-category, 80-item
design audit checklist. Register plan-design-review and qa-design-review templates
in findTemplates(). Add both skills to skill-check.ts SKILL_FILES. Add command
and snapshot flag validation tests for both skills in skill-validation.test.ts.

* feat: add /plan-design-review and /qa-design-review skills

/plan-design-review: report-only designer audit with letter grades, AI slop
scoring, structured first impression, design system extraction, DESIGN.md
inference and export offer. Never modifies code.

/qa-design-review: same audit, then iterative fix loop with style(design):
commits, CSS-safe WTF heuristic, before/after screenshots, final re-audit.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.5.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update README, ARCHITECTURE for design review skills (v0.5.0)

- Update skill count to 11, add /plan-design-review and /qa-design-review
  to skill table, install/uninstall commands, and demo walkthrough
- Add narrative sections: "senior designer mode" and "designer who codes mode"
  with compelling examples showing AI Slop detection and design system inference
- Add {{DESIGN_METHODOLOGY}} to ARCHITECTURE.md placeholder table
- Extend demo to show full plan→eng→review→ship→qa→design-review pipeline

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate design review SKILL.md files after merge from main

Picks up BASE_BRANCH_DETECT resolver and updated contributor mode from main.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add /design-consultation skill — design consultant that creates DESIGN.md

6-phase consultant flow: product context → competitive research (WebSearch) →
complete coherent proposal → drill-downs on demand → font+color preview page →
write DESIGN.md + update CLAUDE.md. Opinionated recommendations grounded in
product context, not menu-driven forms.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add E2E tests for design skill family (7 tests + LLM quality judge)

Tests 1-4: /design-consultation (core flow, research integration, existing
DESIGN.md handling, font+color preview generation).
Tests 5-6: /plan-design-review (audit report, DESIGN.md export).
Test 7: /qa-design-review (audit + fix loop).
LLM judge validates font blacklist compliance, coherence, and AI slop avoidance.
Also adds plan-design-review + qa-design-review to ALL_SKILLS test array.

Garry Tan a68244ab57 feat: /document-release skill — post-ship doc updates (v0.4.3) (#109)
* docs: update project documentation for v0.4.2

- README: skill count 9→10, added /document-release to skills table,
  install/uninstall sections, and dedicated section with example
- CHANGELOG: added /document-release bullet to v0.4.2 entry

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add /document-release skill with smart VERSION handling

New skill runs after /ship but before PR merge. Reads every doc file,
cross-references the diff, auto-updates factual changes, asks about
risky edits. CHANGELOG clobber protection: never uses Write tool on
CHANGELOG.md, only Edit with exact old_string matches.

Smart VERSION logic: instead of silently skipping already-bumped
versions, compares CHANGELOG entry scope against full diff and asks
if significant uncovered changes exist.

Also fixes gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md missing from skill-check.ts
SKILL_FILES array (existing inconsistency with gen-skill-docs.ts).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: /review Step 5.6 — documentation staleness check

Review skill now cross-references code changes against doc files.
If a doc describes a feature that changed but the doc wasn't updated,
flags it as INFORMATIONAL with a pointer to /document-release.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: /document-release E2E with CHANGELOG clobber guard

E2E test creates a repo with existing CHANGELOG entries, runs
/document-release, and asserts original entries survive. Critical
guardrail against the incident where an agent replaced CHANGELOG
entries during conflict resolution.

for better diagnostics. 3 new snapshot tests for staleness detection.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Simple get/set/list interface for persistent gstack configuration.
Used by update-check and upgrade skill for auto_upgrade and update_check settings.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: smart update check with 12h cache, snooze backoff, config disable

- Reduce cache TTL from 24h to 12h for faster update detection
- Add exponential snooze backoff: 24h → 48h → 1 week (resets on new version)
- Add update_check: false config option to disable checks entirely
- Clear snooze file on just-upgraded
- 14 new tests covering snooze levels, expiry, corruption, and config paths

Garry Tan 07b4e15b34 feat: v0.3.2 — project-local state, diff-aware QA, Greptile integration (#36)
* fix: cookie import picker returns JSON instead of HTML

jsonResponse() was defined at module scope but referenced `url` which
only existed as a parameter of handleCookiePickerRoute(). Every API call
crashed, the catch block also crashed, and Bun returned a default HTML
page that the frontend couldn't parse as JSON.

Thread port via corsOrigin() helper and options objects. Add route-level
tests to prevent this class of bug from shipping again.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add help command to browse server

Agents that don't have SKILL.md loaded (or misread flags) had no way to
self-discover the CLI. The help command returns a formatted reference of
all commands and snapshot flags.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: version-aware find-browse with META signal protocol

Agents in other workspaces found stale browse binaries that were missing
newer flags. find-browse now compares the local binary's git SHA against
origin/main via git ls-remote (4hr cache), and emits META:UPDATE_AVAILABLE
when behind. SKILL.md setup checks parse META signals and prompt the user
to update.

- New compiled binary: browse/dist/find-browse (TypeScript, testable)
- Bash shim at browse/bin/find-browse delegates to compiled binary
- .version file written at build time with git commit SHA
- Build script compiles both browse and find-browse binaries
- Graceful degradation: offline, missing .version, corrupt cache all skip check

* feat: add shared Greptile comment triage reference doc

Shared reference for fetching, filtering, and classifying Greptile
review comments on GitHub PRs. Used by both /review and /ship skills.
Includes parallel API fetching, suppressions check, classification
logic, reply APIs, and history file writes.

* feat: make /review and /ship Greptile-aware

/review: Step 2.5 fetches and classifies Greptile comments, Step 5
resolves them with AskUserQuestion for valid issues and false positives.

/ship: Step 3.75 triages Greptile comments between pre-landing review
and version bump. Adds Greptile Review section to PR body in Step 8.
Re-runs tests if any Greptile fixes are applied.

* feat: add Greptile batting average to /retro

Reads ~/.gstack/greptile-history.md, computes signal ratio
(valid catches vs false positives), includes in metrics table,
JSON snapshot, and Code Quality Signals narrative.

* docs: add Greptile integration section to README

Personal endorsement, two-layer review narrative, full UX walkthrough
transcript, skills table updates. Add Greptile training feedback loop
to TODO.md future ideas.

* feat: add local dev mode for testing skills from within the repo

bin/dev-setup creates .claude/skills/gstack symlink to the working tree
so Claude Code discovers skills locally. bin/dev-teardown cleans up.
DEVELOPING_GSTACK.md documents the workflow.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: narrow gitignore to .claude/skills/ instead of all .claude/

Avoids ignoring legitimate Claude Code config like settings.json or CLAUDE.md.

* docs: rename DEVELOPING_GSTACK.md to CONTRIBUTING.md

Rewritten as a contributor-friendly guide instead of a dry plan doc.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: explain why dev-setup is needed in CONTRIBUTING.md quick start

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add browser interaction guidance to CLAUDE.md

Prevents Claude from using mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools instead of /browse.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add shared config module for project-local browse state

Centralizes path resolution (git root detection, state dir, log paths) into
config.ts. Both cli.ts and server.ts import from it, eliminating duplicated
PORT_OFFSET/BROWSE_PORT/STATE_FILE logic.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: rewrite port selection to use random ports

Replace CONDUCTOR_PORT magic offset and 9400-9409 scan with random port
10000-60000. Atomic state file writes, log paths from config module,
binaryVersion field for auto-restart on update.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: move browse state from /tmp to project-local .gstack/

CLI now uses config module for state paths, passes BROWSE_STATE_FILE to
spawned server. Adds version mismatch auto-restart, legacy /tmp cleanup
with PID verification, and removes stale global install fallback.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: update crash log path reference to .gstack/

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add config tests and update CLI lifecycle test

14 new tests for config resolution, ensureStateDir, readVersionHash,
resolveServerScript, and version mismatch detection. Remove obsolete
CONDUCTOR_PORT/BROWSE_PORT filtering from commands.test.ts.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update BROWSER.md and TODO.md for project-local state

Replace /tmp paths with .gstack/, remove CONDUCTOR_PORT docs, document
random port selection and per-project isolation. Add server bundling TODO.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update README, CHANGELOG, and CONTRIBUTING for v0.3.2

- README: replace Conductor-aware language with project-local isolation,
  add Greptile setup note
- CHANGELOG: comprehensive v0.3.2 entry with all state management changes
- CONTRIBUTING: add instructions for testing branches in other repos

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add diff-aware mode to /qa — auto-tests affected pages from branch diff

When on a feature branch, /qa now reads git diff main, identifies affected
pages/routes from changed files, and tests them automatically. No URL required.
The most natural flow: write code, /ship, /qa.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: update CHANGELOG for complete v0.3.2 coverage

Add missing entries: diff-aware QA mode, Greptile integration,
local dev mode, crash log path fix, README/SKILL.md updates.

Garry Tan f7b95329c1 feat: Phase 3.5 — cookie import, QA testing, team retro (v0.3.1) (#29)
* Phase 2: Enhanced browser — dialog handling, upload, state checks, snapshots

- CircularBuffer O(1) ring buffer for console/network/dialog (was O(n) array+shift)
- Async buffer flush with Bun.write() (was appendFileSync)
- Dialog auto-accept/dismiss with buffer + prompt text support
- File upload command (upload <sel> <file...>)
- Element state checks (is visible/hidden/enabled/disabled/checked/editable/focused)
- Annotated screenshots with ref labels overlaid (-a flag)
- Snapshot diffing against previous snapshot (-D flag)
- Cursor-interactive element scan for non-ARIA clickables (-C flag)
- Snapshot scoping depth limit (-d N flag)
- Health check with page.evaluate + 2s timeout
- Playwright error wrapping — actionable messages for AI agents
- Fix useragent — context recreation preserves cookies/storage/URLs
- wait --networkidle / --load / --domcontentloaded flags
- console --errors filter (error + warning only)
- cookie-import <json-file> with auto-fill domain from page URL
- 166 integration tests (was ~63)

* Phase 2: Rewrite SKILL.md as QA playbook + command reference

Reorient SKILL.md files from raw command reference to QA-first playbook
with 10 workflow patterns (test user flows, verify deployments, dogfood
features, responsive layouts, file upload, forms, dialogs, compare pages).
Compact command reference tables at the bottom.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Phase 3: /qa skill — systematic QA testing with health scores

New /qa skill for systematic web app QA testing. Three modes:
- full: 5-10 documented issues with screenshots and repro steps
- quick: 30-second smoke test with health score
- regression: compare against saved baseline

Includes issue taxonomy (7 categories, 4 severity levels), structured
report template, health score rubric (weighted across 7 categories),
framework detection guidance (Next.js, Rails, WordPress, SPA).

Also adds browse/bin/find-browse (DRY binary discovery using git
rev-parse), .gstack/ to .gitignore, and updated TODO roadmap.

* Bump to v0.3.0 — Phase 2 + Phase 3 changelog

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: cookie-import-browser — Chromium cookie decryption module + tests

Pure logic module for reading and decrypting cookies from macOS Chromium
browsers (Comet, Chrome, Arc, Brave, Edge). Supports v10 AES-128-CBC
encryption with macOS Keychain access, PBKDF2 key derivation, and
per-browser key caching. 18 unit tests with encrypted cookie fixtures.

* feat: cookie picker web UI + route handler

Two-panel dark-theme picker served from the browse server. Left panel
shows source browser domains with search and import buttons. Right panel
shows imported domains with trash buttons. No cookie values exposed.
6 API endpoints, importedDomains Set tracking, inline clearCookies.

* feat: wire cookie-import-browser into browse server

Add cookie-picker route dispatch (no auth, localhost-only), add
cookie-import-browser to WRITE_COMMANDS and CHAIN_WRITE, add serverPort
property to BrowserManager, add write command with two modes (picker UI
vs --domain direct import), update CLI help text.

* chore: /setup-browser-cookies skill + docs (Phase 3.5)

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.3.1)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* security: redact sensitive values from command output (PR #21)

type no longer echoes text (reports character count), cookie redacts
value with ****, header redacts Authorization/Cookie/X-API-Key/X-Auth-Token,
storage set drops value, forms redacts password fields. Prevents secrets
from persisting in LLM transcripts. 7 new tests.

* security: path traversal prevention for screenshot/pdf/eval (PR #26)

Add validateOutputPath() for screenshot/pdf/responsive (restricts to
/tmp and cwd) and validateReadPath() for eval (blocks .. sequences and
absolute paths outside safe dirs). 7 new tests.

* fix: auto-install Playwright Chromium in setup (PR #22)

Setup now verifies Playwright can launch Chromium, and auto-installs
it via `bunx playwright install chromium` if missing. Exits non-zero
if build or Chromium launch fails.

- cookie-import now validates file paths (was missing validateReadPath)
- 3 new tests for prefix collision and cookie-import path traversal

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: address review informational issues + add regression tests

- Add cookie-import to CHAIN_WRITE set for chain command routing
- Add path validation to snapshot -a -o output path
- Fix package.json version to match 0.3.1
- Use crypto.randomUUID() for temp DB paths (unpredictable filenames)
- Add regression tests for chain cookie-import and snapshot path validation
