Garry Tan	4dfdb7cdc2	v1.57.2.0 feat: AskUserQuestion prose fallback when the tool fails at runtime (#1908) ... * feat(auq): add gstack-session-kind + echo SESSION_KIND in preamble Classifies the session as spawned | headless | interactive from env markers (OPENCLAW_SESSION / GSTACK_HEADLESS / CONDUCTOR_* / CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT / CI), defaulting to interactive. Echoed once at skill start alongside BRANCH/REPO_MODE so the AskUserQuestion-failure fallback can branch without a shell-out at failure time. Degrade-safe: empty/error => interactive. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(auq): prose fallback when AskUserQuestion fails (interactive sessions) On a genuine AUQ failure (tool absent, or present-but-erroring like Conductor's flaky MCP returning '[Tool result missing due to internal error]'): retry once, then branch on SESSION_KIND — spawned auto-chooses, headless BLOCKs, interactive renders a prose decision brief the user answers by typing a letter. The prose fallback MUST surface the triad: a clear ELI10 of the issue, a per-choice Completeness score, and a recommendation+why (one paragraph per choice). Carves out the [plan-tune auto-decide] denial as NOT a failure, and qualifies the former 'tool_use, not prose' assertions so the rule isn't self-contradicting. Tests pin the triad, the SESSION_KIND branch, the OV2 collision guard, the always-loaded guarantee, and a cross-file invariant on the auto-decide prefix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(auq): default GSTACK_HEADLESS=1 in eval/E2E runners Headless harness runs classify as headless (BLOCK on AUQ failure rather than emit a prose question no one reads). SDK runner uses ambient mutation, not the Options.env object, to avoid breaking the SDK auth pipeline. Interactive-path suites opt out by overriding the env per-run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(auq): defensive PostToolUse error-fallback hook (OV3:B) When an AskUserQuestion call returns an error/missing result, this hook injects additionalContext reminding the model to run the prose fallback for the current SESSION_KIND. It does not render prose itself — it guarantees the reminder fires at the moment of failure instead of relying on the model recalling SESSION_KIND. Inert on success and inert if the platform never invokes PostToolUse on tool errors (unverified — could not force the Conductor MCP error in a harness; see the spike doc). The prompt-level fallback covers the case regardless. Decision logic is unit-tested deterministically; registered in setup beside the existing AUQ hooks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(auq): regenerate SKILL.md for all hosts + refresh ship goldens Regenerated from the resolver changes (gen:skill-docs --host all). Refreshes the byte-exact ship golden fixtures (claude/codex/factory). Spec prose tightened so the cross-cutting preamble addition stays under the 5% per-skill parity ceiling (investigate 4.8%) — guard unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): kebab testNames for section-loading E2Es to match TOUCHFILES keys The two section-loading E2E tests used display-form testNames ('/ship section-loading', '/plan-ceo-review section-loading') while every other E2E testName and their E2E_TOUCHFILES keys are kebab. The completeness gate does an exact `name in E2E_TOUCHFILES` check, so it failed (pre-existing on main); diff- based selection also couldn't match them. Align to ship-section-loading / plan-ceo-section-loading. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): make external-host freshness checks deterministic The parameterized host smoke + --host all freshness tests assumed an external `gen:skill-docs --host all` had run first (it never does in `bun test`), so which host reported STALE varied by sibling-test timing — flaky. Regenerate the gitignored external host dirs in a beforeAll so the --dry-run check is deterministic. It still catches non-deterministic generation (the real bug class for regenerated outputs); the tracked-claude freshness test runs earlier and is unaffected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(parity): headroom for AUQ cross-cutting addition on carved document-release Merging main brought the carve of document-release (smaller skeleton); the AUQ prose-fallback adds ~2KB to every skill's always-loaded preamble, landing document-release at ~5.9% over the pre-carve v1.53.0.0 baseline. Add a per-carve maxSizeRatio override (CARVE_GUARDS single source of truth) and bump only this skill to 1.08. All other skills keep the strict 1.05 ceiling. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(auq): harden error-fallback hook + harness per adversarial review Codex pre-landing review found three real issues: - The PostToolUse fallback hook shared source 'plan-tune-cathedral' with the question-log hook (same event+matcher); gstack-settings-hook replaces the entry, so it would have clobbered plan-tune capture. Give it its own 'auq-error-fallback' source (separate entry, both run); ALREADY_INSTALLED now requires both sources. - isErrorResponse triggered on any string containing 'internal error'/'is_error', so a real answer or a {"is_error": false} payload could fire the fallback after a successful question. Narrow it to the missing-result sentinel + boolean is_error. - The SDK runner mutated process.env.GSTACK_HEADLESS process-wide (leaked headless into later tests). Removed; GSTACK_HEADLESS=1 now lives in the eval package.json scripts, scoped to the invocation and inherited by the SDK child.

Garry Tan	cab774cced	v1.56.0.0 Token-reduction Phase B + AUQ paranoid safety net (#1849) ... * refactor(plan-ceo-review): carve review body into on-demand section Carve the largest skill (138,838 B) into a skeleton + one on-demand section, the documented next Phase B target after /ship (v2_PLAN.md:216). - sections/review-sections.md(.tmpl): the 11-section deep review, codex/ outside-voice rules, how-to-ask, Required Outputs, registries, Completion Summary, Review Log, REVIEW_DASHBOARD, PLAN_FILE_REVIEW_REPORT, Next Steps, docs/designs promotion, Formatting Rules, and the Mode Quick Reference. - sections/manifest.json: passive registry (CM2), one entry. - SKILL.md.tmpl: {{SECTION_INDEX}} after the system audit, a single {{SECTION:review-sections}} STOP-Read after Step 0 mode selection, and a Section self-check. All of Step 0 (the scope/mode conversation) stays in the always-loaded skeleton; only EXIT_PLAN_MODE_GATE follows the section. Measured: always-loaded skeleton 138,838 -> 80,731 B (-42%, ~14.4K tokens off every invocation). Union (skeleton + section) 139,110 B, behavior held. Boundary honors Codex P1: nothing review-governing (formatting rules, mode reference, how-to-ask, required outputs) sits in the skeleton below the STOP. Housekeeping resolvers ride in the section, matching the ship precedent (adversarial.md carries LEARNINGS_LOG + GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS). Tests (atomic with the carve — skill-docs.yml gates gen:skill-docs freshness on every push, so source + regen + tests must land together): - parity-harness: plan-ceo flipped to sectioned, maxSkeletonBytes 90_000 (measured 80,731 + headroom); content/minBytes run against the union. - skill-size-budget: plan-ceo-review added to SECTIONS_EXTRACTED. - section-manifest-consistency: generalized to discover every carved skill, vars computed per-skill-case (Codex P2). - skill-ceo-section-ordering (new, gate): per-PR static guard — STOP after Step 0, review body absent from skeleton, report writer in the section, nothing review-governing below the STOP. - skill-e2e-plan-ceo-review-section-loading (new, periodic): refreshes the installed skill first (Codex P1), drives full Step 0, asserts the section is Read before the report. - gen-skill-docs + skill-validation: read the skeleton+sections union for carved skills so relocated prose still counts. - touchfiles: plan-ceo-section-loading registered (periodic). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump VERSION + CHANGELOG for plan-ceo-review carve (v1.56.0.0) MINOR: carves the largest skill into skeleton + on-demand section, dropping plan-ceo-review's always-loaded cost 42% (138,838 -> 80,731 B, ~14.4K tokens off every invocation). User-facing release notes lead with the measured token win. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(todos): file P3 follow-up — carve the shared {{PREAMBLE}} reference blocks Surfaced by /plan-eng-review on the plan-ceo-review carve: per-skill section carves stay modest because the ~40-50KB shared preamble dominates the always-loaded surface. A single preamble-reference carve would help every tier->=2 skill at once. Records the why, the cold-vs-hot split to measure, and the guards it needs. Not implemented this PR. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(auq): Layer 0 — guarantee AUQ format spec is always-loaded Deterministic, free, per-PR keystone for the token-reduction era. For every interactive (tier>=2) skill, asserts the full AskUserQuestion decision-brief format (ELI10/Recommendation/Pros-cons/checks/Net/(recommended)/Stakes/ self-check) lives in the always-loaded SKILL.md skeleton, NOT only in an on-demand section. Plus a roster guard (a carve can't silently drop the block) and per-skill rule survival in the skeleton+sections union. 51 cases + a negative control. Fails the instant a future carve strands AUQ-governing text where it won't be loaded when a question fires. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(auq): SDK capture engine + verbose-vs-carved no-degradation A/B Adds the reusable SDK $OUT_FILE capture engine (auq-sdk-capture.ts): drives a skill to its AUQ and captures the verbatim text the model GENERATES, cleanly (real-PTY mangles plan-mode AUQs via cursor escapes). Pins the skill to an absolute path with Read/Write-only tools so the agent can't wander to the global install. gradeAuqRecommendation normalizes a non-"because" connective before grading so substantive reasons aren't false-flagged (without touching the pinned shared judge). The A/B drives the same prompt through the carved 80KB skeleton and the pre-carve 137KB monolith and fails if carved scores worse. Result: both 7/7 format, substance 5 — proven no degradation, transcript-verified each side read its own planted SKILL.md. Periodic tier. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(auq): consistency — same trigger N runs, stable format + substance Drives the carved /plan-ceo-review AUQ N=3 times and fails if any format element appears in one run but not another, or substance craters. Targets the "fine one run, broken the next" failure class a single snapshot can't see. Result: 3/3 stable, 7/7 + substance 5 every run. Periodic tier. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(auq): behavioral matrix across AUQ-heavy skills Data-driven test that drives each AUQ-heavy skill (plan-eng/design/devex, office-hours, cso, spec, design-consultation) to its first AskUserQuestion and grades it to the plan-ceo bar: 7/7 decision-brief format + recommendation substance >=4. One case per skill (isolated failures), env-subsettable via AUQ_MATRIX_ONLY. Browser/design-binary skills are intentionally excluded (comparison boards, not format-AUQs; Layer 0 covers their spec). All targeted skills pass 7/7 with substance 4-5. Periodic tier. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(codex): live recommendation-substance grade for /codex Closes the gap where /codex's synthesis recommendation was only checked statically (template grep) and via fixtures. Drives the real /codex skill over a flawed diff and grades the emitted "Recommendation: ... because ..." line with judgeRecommendation (present/commits/has_because/substance>=4). The named weak spot holds up: substance 5. Periodic tier. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(auq): deterministic trigger for format-compliance gate A bare /plan-ceo-review against a repo whose work is already implemented makes the model improvise an off-script "what should I review?" scope question that skips the decision-brief format, which the gate test then times out waiting for. Hand it a concrete plan to review (FORCING_FLOOR_CEO) so it reaches the real Step 0 mode-selection AUQ that is the intended format check. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(office-hours): carve Phase 5+6 into on-demand section Third Phase B carve (v2_PLAN.md:216, after ship and plan-ceo-review). Moves Phase 5 (Design Doc templates) + Phase 6 (tiered relationship handoff) — the session's output + closing tail, only reached after the conversation and alternatives are done — into sections/design-and-handoff.md, behind a single STOP-Read after Phase 4.5. The live conversation (Phases 1-4.5) and the always-run Important Rules stay in the always-loaded skeleton. Measured: always-loaded skeleton 118,280 -> 88,975 B (-24.8%). Union preserved. The carved AUQ is identical to pre-carve (matrix: 7/7 format, substance 5), and Layer 0 confirms the AUQ format spec stays in the skeleton — the AUQ paranoid suite de-risked this carve end to end. Atomic with tests + regen (skill-docs.yml gates gen:skill-docs freshness on every push, so source + regen + tests land together; --host all regenerates the inlined non-Claude variants): - sections/manifest.json: passive registry, one entry. - parity-harness: office-hours flipped to sectioned, maxSkeletonBytes 96_000 (measured 88,975 + headroom); content/minBytes run against the union. - skill-size-budget: office-hours added to SECTIONS_EXTRACTED. - gen-skill-docs + skill-validation: read the skeleton+sections union for office-hours so relocated Phase 5/6 prose still counts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump VERSION + CHANGELOG for office-hours carve + AUQ suite (v1.57.0.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(preamble): carve CJK-escaping manual to on-demand doc The AskUserQuestion format block is inlined into every interactive skill (~33). It carried the full multi-paragraph non-ASCII/CJK escaping manual inline, but that rationale only matters when a question contains CJK text and the operative rule already lives in the always-loaded self-check. Moved the justification to docs/askuserquestion-cjk.md (read on demand); kept the rule + a pointer. Corpus: Claude-host SKILL.md total 3,087,499 -> 3,057,975 B (-29,524 B, ~900 B x ~33 skills). Layer 0 still passes — the core decision-brief format stays always-loaded; only the rare CJK rationale moved. Atomic with the all-host regen (skill-docs.yml freshness gate). VERSION + package.json -> 1.58.0.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(plan-eng-review): carve review body into on-demand section Fourth Phase B carve (v2_PLAN.md:220). Moves the 4-section review (Architecture, Code Quality, Tests, Performance), outside voice, required outputs, and review report — everything after Step 0 scope — into sections/review-sections.md behind a single STOP-Read. Step 0 (scope challenge) and EXIT_PLAN_MODE_GATE stay in the always-loaded skeleton. Measured: skeleton 106,984 -> 54,892 B (-48.7%). Union preserved. Atomic with tests + all-host regen (freshness gate): parity flipped to sectioned (maxSkeletonBytes 62K), plan-eng-review added to SECTIONS_EXTRACTED, gen-skill-docs reads the union for relocated review/TEST_COVERAGE/dashboard prose. Layer 0 green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(plan-design-review): carve review body into on-demand section Fifth Phase B carve (v2_PLAN.md:220, bundled with plan-eng). Moves the 7 design passes, required outputs, and review report — everything after Step 0 scope and the mockup/rating phase — into sections/review-sections.md behind a STOP-Read. Step 0, Step 0.5 mockups, the rating method, and EXIT_PLAN_MODE_GATE stay in the always-loaded skeleton. Measured: skeleton 112,057 -> 76,024 B (-32.2%). Union preserved. Atomic with tests + all-host regen: parity sectioned (maxSkeletonBytes 82K), added to SECTIONS_EXTRACTED, gen-skill-docs reads the union. Layer 0 green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(plan-devex-review): carve review body into on-demand section Sixth Phase B carve. Moves the 8 DX passes, required outputs, and review report — everything after the Step 0 DX investigation — into sections/review-sections.md behind a STOP-Read. All of Step 0 (persona, empathy, benchmark, journey trace, roleplay) + the rating method + EXIT_PLAN_MODE_GATE stay always-loaded. Measured: skeleton 110,621 -> 69,658 B (-37%). Union preserved. Atomic with tests + all-host regen: added to SECTIONS_EXTRACTED, gen-skill-docs reads the union. Layer 0 green. (No parity invariant entry for plan-devex-review.) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump VERSION + CHANGELOG for plan-* family carves (v1.59.0.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: refresh ship golden baselines + gbrain-detection union after carves Two follow-ups the carve commits should have carried (caught by the full suite, missed by targeted subsets): - ship golden baselines (claude/codex/factory) regenerated: the preamble CJK trim (v1.58) changed ship's always-loaded AskUserQuestion block. - gbrain-detection-override probes the office-hours skeleton+section union: GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS moved into sections/design-and-handoff.md when office-hours was carved, so the detection assertions now check both files. Full `bun test` green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(auq): grade format-compliance gate from SDK capture, not the TUI The real-PTY version grepped the stripAnsi'd interactive AUQ picker. Verified directly that this cannot work: plan-mode AUQs render as a cursor picker whose cursor-positioning escapes stripAnsi can't flatten — the picker renders fine for a human (cursorSeen=45) but the flattened text drops ELI10:/(recommended) and parseNumberedOptions returns 0. The test was grading a lossy projection and failed by construction. Rewritten to drive /plan-ceo-review via the SDK $OUT_FILE capture (the agent writes the verbatim question it would have shown — clean text, no rendering loss) and grade 7/7 format + kind-note + recommendation substance >=4. Same property, reliable, environment-independent; shares the engine with the periodic A/B and matrix evals. Result: 7/7 format, substance 5. Touchfiles key renamed ask-user-question-format-pty -> auq-format-gate (no longer a PTY test). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: fix carve-broken CI evals (union reads + section fixtures) Two CI eval jobs failed on the carved plan-* skills because they read content that moved into sections/: - llm-judge (skill-llm-eval): runWorkflowJudge sliced SKILL.md between markers like "## Review Sections" / "## CRITICAL RULE" that now live in sections/review-sections.md. The markers vanished from the skeleton, so the judge scored empty/wrong content. Fix: read the skeleton+sections union. Verified: plan-ceo modes / plan-eng sections / plan-design passes all PASS (25/25). - e2e-plan (skill-e2e-plan): setupPlanDir copied only <skill>/SKILL.md into the fixture, not sections/. The carved skill's STOP pointed at a section file that was absent, so the model improvised a compressed report table instead of the canonical "| Review | Trigger | Why | Runs | Status | Findings |". Fix: copy sections/ alongside SKILL.md in all 6 setup sites. Verified: report test PASS, canonical table emitted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: copy carved sections into all e2e fixtures (prevent more carve-blind CI fails) Proactive sweep beyond the two CI logs: every e2e test that copies a carved skill's SKILL.md into a temp fixture must also copy its sections/, or the model hits a STOP pointing at a missing section file and improvises/degrades. - skill-e2e.test.ts: plan-ceo/plan-eng/plan-design/office-hours copies across planDir/reviewDir/ohDir/benefitsDir dests now copy sections/. - skill-e2e-plan.test.ts: the office-hours copy + the 4-skill codex-offering loop now copy sections/. - skill-e2e-design.test.ts: plan-design-review copy now copies sections/. - skill-e2e-office-hours.test.ts: both office-hours copies now copy sections/. - skill-e2e-office-hours-brain-writeback.test.ts: GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS moved into the section, so check the regenerated skeleton+section UNION for the gbrain put block, ship both into the workdir, and restore both (the section regen was also leaking into the working tree — finally now restores it). ship copies (single-file Step-0 slices) and review/retro (not carved) untouched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: migrate section-loading E2E to lossless SDK tool-stream detection The /ship and /plan-ceo-review section-loading tests drove a real PTY and scraped the ANSI screen buffer for sections/<file>.md paths. That silently saw nothing in a Conductor PTY (cursor-positioned tool renders and an unanswered Step 0 question loop both defeat the regex), so both reported read: [] even when the agent did the work. They now run the skill through claude -p (the same SDK path the AUQ matrix uses) and detect section reads from the tool-use stream — Read calls whose file_path contains sections/<file>.md — with no rendering layer to mangle. The run is also hermetic: the freshly-generated worktree skeleton + sections are copied into a throwaway fixture with the absolute path pinned, so the test validates this branch's carve without mutating the user's ~/.claude install. Validated EVALS_TIER=periodic: both pass (plan-ceo Reads review-sections.md; ship Reads review-army.md + changelog.md), ~6.5 min for both vs ~23 min combined on the old PTY path where both were failing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: consolidate branch to v1.56.0.0 (single MINOR above main) The branch bumped VERSION several times during development (1.56 → 1.57 → 1.58 → 1.59), but none of those landed on main (main is at 1.55.1.0). Per the "never orphan branch-internal versions" discipline, collapse all four into a single 1.56.0.0 entry — one MINOR release covering the whole branch: five skills carved (plan-ceo, office-hours, plan-eng, plan-design, plan-devex), the shared AskUserQuestion preamble CJK trim, and the paranoid AUQ no-degradation test suite + lossless section-loading tests. VERSION and package.json set to 1.56.0.0; main's 1.55.1.0 entry preserved below the consolidated entry. No SKILL.md drift (VERSION is not embedded in generated bodies).
