Garry Tanandcapy-ai[bot] fa3a2400b5 v1.91.251.0 feat(design-lint): bundled free design lint (bin/gstack-design-lint + lib/design-lint/), hallmark sloplint port (#3459)
* feat(design-lint): core of the bundled free design lint (parsers, colour, tokens, reporter, waivers, CLI)

* feat(design-lint): port the colour and type rule families from sloplint

rules/color.ts: gates 2a 2b 7a 7b 22 23 29 48 65 74 (check2, check7, check22,
check23, check29Glow, check48, check65, check65Tailwind). rules/type.ts: gates
1 25 37 38i 38ii 38iii 55a 55b 64 67 (check1, check25, check37, check38a,
check38c, check55, check64, check67, check67Html). Thresholds and heuristics
are hallmark's; evidence and fixes are rewritten in gstack's voice; the stamp,
genre and posture guards are gone, so every check runs in its strict form.

The clean fixture carried two real tells hallmark's own sloplint also flags:
an oklch literal on .button:hover (48) and the cream paper + Fraunces + clay
accent look (65). The hover colour is now a token and the display face is
Literata.

* feat(design-lint): port the Tailwind reader and component rules

Replaces the tailwind.ts stub with sloplint's utility reader (twParse,
twInfo, twGroup, variants, stops, sizes, tracking, families, shared
project tokens) and the tells it feeds, and fills rules/component.ts
with checkTailwind and checkComponentText: layout-transition,
bounce-easing, purple-blue-gradient, gradient-text, glow-wash,
literal-outside-tokens, hover-tells, wide-tracking, kicker-above-heading,
monospace-costume, framework-palette, vh-height, template-cards,
template-punctuation and emoji-decoration over class strings in HTML,
JSX, Vue, Svelte and Astro files and cn()/clsx()/cva() calls.
test/design-lint-tailwind.test.ts holds a negative control and a planted
tell per rule plus the tailwind-fail, tailwind-pass and clean fixtures.

* feat(design-lint): port the structure and motion rule families from sloplint

Structure: template-cards, nested-cards, vh-height, raw-spacing, off-scale-spacing, overflow-x-unclipped (static half), bare-fr-track, display-head-unwrapped, radio-tab-jump, double-sticky, screen-word-budget (static half), and a conservative static half of wide-container. Motion: layout-transition, spacing-transition, hover-tells, bounce-easing, focus-ring-fade, tooltip-focus-delay, autorotate-no-pause, missing-focus-visible, missing-states, missing-reduced-motion, autoplay-unmuted, lazy-lcp, video-without-poster, input-state-shift, control-height (static half), content-hidden-at-rest. Every rule has a planted positive and a negative control; the clean fixture lede drops to eleven words so the hero-paragraph budget holds.

* feat(design-lint): port the chrome, assets and finish rule families from sloplint

Chrome (gates 19 42 46a 47 54 63 68 69 70 85): gate 19 split by tell onto
aphoristic-cadence, generic-hero-copy, generic-cta-copy, em-dash-overuse and
template-footer-line in rules/chrome-copy.ts (with the two-filled-buttons half
of F4 and the shared prose mask); the eyebrow in rules/chrome-eyebrow.ts; the
nav and footer shapes, invented proof, drawn chrome, placeholder services,
template punctuation, wireframe slots, repeated facts, the fake send and a
static version of the email-band close in rules/chrome.ts.

Assets (gates 30 33 40 41 49 76): emoji icons, mixed icon libraries, unlabelled
svg/canvas, contrast pairs and surface inks (suspected at ask in the static
tier), wrapping labels split into button-label-wraps and link-wraps, broken
images and stock hotlinks.

Finish (F1-F9 F15 F16 F21-F24): all polish except fake-avatar.

Tests cover every id with a negative control and a planted positive; the clean
fixture gains scrollbar-color so its committed palette themes every browser
surface.

* feat(design-lint): render tier on gstack's own browser (sloplint-render port)

Ports hallmark's sloplint-render.mjs onto lib/aside-render: one tab per
page, the in-page probes installed once and run at each viewport, a second
pass with full-page screenshots only when a contrast claim needs the painted
pixels (a small PNG reader replaces canvas sampling). Gates 23, 25, 26a, 34,
40, 41, 44a-d, 49a/b, 58, 71, 72, 73, 75, 77-83, F17-F20, plus the page that
did not render. The stamp's posture, hero-shape, photo-shape and genre
guards are gone: the strict form applies. Focus rings are read by focusing
each control in turn (programmatic focus matches :focus-visible on the
daemon with no prior pointer input; a stylesheet scan is the fallback).

lib/aside-render: an eval step takes width/height like a screenshot step
(device metrics on Aside, viewport on browse, cleared after), and spec.file
may be an http(s) URL, opened as it is with nothing served.

The clean fixture gained border-box on its hero, a centred, taller hero
visual, a wrapping actions row, a statement-sized close head and a shorter
story paragraph: the browser showed the action below the 1280x800 fold, a
dead band under the hero, a 600px image spilling past a phone screen and a
thin close section.

* design-lint: ship review fixes

Waivers reach render findings; a blocking rule the lint only suspected is
waivable like any ask, a measured or absent Floor stays refused. A stylesheet
a page links from another directory belongs to that page and is not linted
again on its own; a stylesheet linted alone keeps its waivers. Root-relative
hrefs resolve against the lint root. Stylesheets are read and parsed once per
run. A rule family that throws reports internal-error at ask instead of a
silent pass; aria-labelledby and probe tag names are escaped before they
reach a RegExp; a probe result naming an unknown rule is a render finding,
not a crash; fix strings are one line. overused-font follows gstack's
catalog of display faces; one MONO_FACE list for every monospace check.
parseCss caps nesting depth; medianRgb uses histograms; glHide batches its
layout reads. Dead exports removed (isPage, openTags, over, ComponentTag,
PixelRect, the ids re-exports).

* design-lint: name the tracked-caps thresholds once, string-aware brace scan, drop an unused parameter, clean up test tmpdirs

Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* design-lint: second review cycle

Waivers settle once per page after both tiers, so a blocking rule only the
render tier suspects is waivable and one it measures is refused; a claim in a
stylesheet answers for that stylesheet on every page that links it (no
shared-word check), so a sheet shared by two pages is no longer waived on one
and refused on the other. Every printed field is one line with control
characters stripped; the waiver regex is linear and ends at a carriage
return; a root-relative href cannot climb out of the lint root. The ancestor
map closes optional end tags implicitly and pops to the matching open tag, so
unclosed <li> no longer makes it quadratic. The static tier reports outline:
none with no ring anywhere as missing-focus-visible at its line;
literal-outside-tokens needs a --color-* or --font-* token to exist; the
banned gradient includes indigo-to-violet; a new banned-font rule reads
gstack's BANNED_FONTS; MONO_FACE matches whole words; bold keywords and
tokens count as weight 700 for the contrast threshold. stylesFor reads only
the entries that can match; glOcclusion memoises the pinned walk; the
confirm screenshot is taken at 1x; a page that throws in the render tier is a
render finding and the CLI exits 3 on an internal error. Docs name the token
conventions and what the lint does not cover.

Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* design-lint: fourth review cycle fixes

Commented-out markup is dead for every rule (Doc.src is the comment-blanked text; craft copy, the module-script check and the border+shadow scan read it). Headings, buttons, links, labels, selects, forms and an open <p> close the way the browser closes them, a tree nests at most 512 deep, and the heading, footer-column, sign-up-button and span readers walk the shared pairing instead of lazy regexes, with each element's text computed once (textOf). Tailwind frames and wireframe slots answer from treeOf. resolveVars stops on a cycle and caps its size; every parseCss at-rule branch honours the depth guard and an inline <style> that fails to parse is skipped with a warning. cwd and lint roots are read through their real paths, a skipped source file is one internal-error finding, relative refs stay inside the project, a linked stylesheet over 2 MB is skipped. overused-font and banned-font match a catalog stem to a family name's first words; width: min()/clamp() caps a container; a box-shadow focus ring beside a border-colour change is not input-state-shift; Meet and triad headings below the hero are suspected; the stylesheet-waiver key goes through oneLine; pxOf reads leading-dot lengths; check67 precomputes selector bases; the render tier reports a wrong-shaped answer per probe and keeps every measured finding, flags a bad grade as tampering, and never repeats the kept width when merging horizontal-scroll.

* design-lint: fourth review cycle tests and docs

test/design-lint-fourth-cycle.test.ts pins commented-out markup dead for every rule, unclosed <li> Tailwind frames and wireframe slots, linear-time unclosed runs and component scripts, cyclic var() and nested @media, leading-dot lengths, a symlinked lint root, oversize files reported, a whitespace-named stylesheet's waiver, the overused-font stems, width: min() caps, box-shadow rings, Meet headings below the hero, wrong-shaped render answers and the never-waivable refusals by class; the settle golden no longer repeats the kept width and expects the bad grade as tampering. docs/design-lint.md describes the caps, implicit closes, skipped-file findings and the matching rules.

* design-lint: fourth-cycle simplifications and the pixel pass pinned without a browser

heroClasses reads the hero through heroIndexOf, check64 uses twMonoIsMaterial, check67Html imports capsRatio from chrome-eyebrow, sideStripes loses its bare block; a settle test drives confirmPixels with the swatch fixture (a claim dropped by the pixels behind it, one rewritten, a weak ring confirmed).

* design-lint: fifth review cycle fixes

The placeholder emoji scan reads the comment-blanked text, so markup inside <!-- --> is dead for every rule. A digit run, a long mono word and a run of scheme prefixes cost their length (FACT and UNSPLASH_URL only start at a token, twDataText bounds its text); a 2 MB sheet of 699k rules no longer blows the stack (rules are appended in loops); JsxScanner spends one failure budget across jsScan and el; the Tailwind had() lookup is a Set; accentedHeads indexes rules by class once; contexts drop their caches once their families have run; the parsed-token cache is bounded. treeOf gives a close tag its parent so a fact after an inline close is counted in its section. Waivers are keyed per rule for a page claim and per rule@sheet for a stylesheet claim, so two linked sheets each answer for their own findings. The render tier validates every page-supplied field (at.cls, ring colour and ratio, probe fg and threshold, PAGE_ERRORS entries, a malformed entry naming the render rule) and keeps its measured findings; lineOf answers from one line index. Rule judgement: a textarea's min-height is not control-height, attribute-selected inputs are read for input-state-shift, a glyph-only <i> is not an italic word, a bounce keyframe by name is bounce-easing, single-quoted inline styles are read, a project root is a package.json or .git. Housekeeping: Probes typed from PROBE_FNS, EYEBROW_* shared from chrome-eyebrow, WaiverClaim.raw and dead imports removed, evidence wording for tracked-only controls and black glass, emoji icon tiles capped like every other emoji path, unreadable files get their own fix text.

* design-lint: fifth review cycle tests and docs

test/design-lint-fifth-cycle.test.ts (21 tests) pins the comment-dead placeholder, the linear-time digit run, 699k-rule sheet, unclosed JSX and tracked-label pages, per-sheet waivers and the remaining state-matrix cells, every wrong-shaped render field, and the rule judgements; the fourth-cycle shell test asserts the observable effect, the RSS assertion is structural, time bounds are widened for shared CI shards, the stale empty block is gone, and the FREE_FIXTURES inventory names both cycle files. docs/design-lint.md states the project-root bound on relative hrefs and the three narrow readings (whole-page focus ring, unconditional 4px scale, scroll-container-blind double-sticky).

* design-lint: sixth review cycle fixes

line-length computes its floor only for a measure between 28 and 45ch and
answers shortProse once per class; wide-tracking resolves inherited case
through a prefix index instead of a scan of every rule; the JSX scanner
fails every ancestor of an element that ran to the end of the file at once;
the hairline-under-shadow pair reads class tokens instead of a two-sided
regex. tooltip-focus-delay names the sheet that holds the :focus delay;
the placeholder emoji scan reads the comment-blanked body for every kind;
fake-send finds its line in a component's script text. A stylesheet href is
bounded by its real path too. The LINT line's separator is kept out of
page-supplied text. Waivers: a component claim answers for its own file,
weighed against its own text; the Waiver shape is a reason string; refusals
go through Reporter. Render: a later fail replaces a warn with the same
evidence, a non-string fix is dropped, the timeout is a constant. Rules:
a meta label in mono is a costume, a leading-dot length reads as a fraction,
a percentage leading collides like a unitless one, an italic word after an
icon is still read, an italic rule on the word is not a display system, en
dashes between digits are ranges, and the catalog's two hero lines are
generic-hero-copy. The Tailwind parse cache and its eviction are gone.

* design-lint: sixth review cycle tests and docs

test/design-lint-sixth-cycle.test.ts (18 tests; 13 red at 3f0c62582) pins
the per-page work, the right-place findings, the rule judgements and the
waiver and render cells the state matrix named. The emoji-tile cap is
asserted exactly, the pixel-pass test says what it checks, the recorded slop
page now names its generic hero copy. docs/design-lint.md: the real-path
bound, the separator note, page and component claim scopes, hero-fold's
measured half, two more items the lint does not cover, the heading-pattern
exemption and the digit-range dash.

* design-lint: seventh review cycle fixes

A tag start the scanner finds no '>' for is spaced out of doc.src, so every
'[^>]*>' scan over a page (the lint's and the craft check's) costs the page
its length; render's line lookup reads the same text. The JSX scanner skips
a generic element's type arguments and closes every element under a close
tag that names an open ancestor, as a browser would; a closer naming nothing
open is text. The token table is read in one colour mode: the base block's
last declaration wins and a prefers-color-scheme or data-theme override only
fills tokens the base never declares; a custom property declared in any
scope is a token definition, not a literal; a token finding points at the
declaration that won. In a directory of components, under either scope,
each file's claims answer for that file alone with its own suspected rules.
The Tailwind dedupe keys files the way Reporter prints them. outline: none is
not a ring for input-state-shift; a form with a password or a sign-in button
is not an email band; one CONTROL_TRACK_MAX_EM (0.04) for both halves of
wide-tracking; one CONTRAST_SLACK; hairline-under-shadow splits layers with
splitTop; a missing linked stylesheet is warned about; TwItem.toks and the
controlHeight scope guard are gone; zero-chroma-neutrals is titled for what
it reads. aside-render sets the device override or viewport only when a
sized step's size changes and clears it before an un-sized step.

* design-lint: seventh review cycle tests and docs

test/design-lint-seventh-cycle.test.ts (13 tests) pins the stray-tag tail,
the shadow-layer split, the JSX generic and ancestor-closing cases, the

their own suspected rules, the stylesheet beside components, the Reporter
file key, outline: none, the sign-in form, the shared tracking ceiling and
the missing-stylesheet warning. docs/design-lint.md: the token block and its
mode overrides, the stray-tag note, the component-directory claim scope,
the email-band exclusions, the missing-sheet warning and zero-chroma-neutrals
as a fourth narrow reading.

* design-lint: eighth review cycle fixes

Waivers follow the context's shape, not the --scope flag: one html page keeps
page semantics under either scope (its claim reaches the sheet it links) and a
lone component beside an unlinked stylesheet answers for its own file only.
Every '<' that starts no tag is a stray spaced out of doc.src (a '<!' or '<?'
with a '>' ahead stays), an unclosed comment runs to the end of the file, the
three bare /<[^>]*>/ strips use stripTags, the copy tier drops open script,
style, template and nav tags nothing closes, component tags are paired once
per document, columnCount counts repeat() arithmetically, an unclosed
@starting-style block is read once, the import scan matches import shapes
only, the render locator refuses a non-letter tag and reads the class
attribute linearly, tickers are answered from the tree, a tooltip duration is
not a delay, class tokens are appended in a loop, the emoji dedupe is keyed by
the icon, the emoji classes spell U+FE0F and U+200D as escapes, the contrast
and focus viewports are named once, and the hero-fold title matches what the
probe measures.

* design-lint: ninth review cycle fixes

nestSelector stops expanding a comma list nested in a comma list past an
8 KB selector, resolveVars never substitutes a token over MAX_RESOLVED and
stops growing a value past it, a stylesheet or <style> block the lint could
not parse (or a linked sheet over the size cap) is an internal-error finding
through the Skipped list, which now carries a kind; stripTags takes a visible
character limit so the emoji and label reads do not pay for an element that
runs to the end of the file; assets.ts records every quoted emoji finding
and component.ts splices the one at its line; columnCount drops named lines
inside repeat(); doc.text is built from the stray-blanked source;
Reporter.report returns the finding; the 1280 probes read their viewport
from the page; openTags loses its unused limit; the CHANGELOG hero-fold note
matches what the probe measures.

* design-lint: ninth review cycle performance fixes

css.ts selectorNames reads the tag and class names a selector list mentions
once, so nowrap coverage, wrapping coverage and the roman-em check answer per
element in constant time; shortProseOf reads elements by class from an index
built once per document; font-family-count keeps a Set of family keys; the
import scan gives the optional paren its own whitespace; a JSX expression that
runs to the end of the file fails every ancestor at once; the render locator
reads class and not data-class; tooltip-focus-delay reads the delay slot of
the transition shorthand, so 200ms is a duration like 0.2s.

tooltip-focus-delay splits the transition value at top-level commas, so a

at the limit instead of after the next tag; accentedHeads reads each span's
text once and covers classes from one map; a JSX close tag with no '>' is
text, not a failure every ancestor rescans; selectorNames reads the tag that
opens an :is()/:where() list; a linked sheet that cannot be read is
unreadable, not unparseable; the space probes read their viewport from the
page; the internal-error title covers a page or stylesheet the lint could not
read.

A nested rule under a parent longer than the selector cap falls back to the

limited stripTags counts visibility with the whitespace class its callers
collapse on and never cuts a surrogate pair; glWords slides its window by
innerHeight.

Garry Tan 55fbe77195 v1.91.24.0 test: audit wave — PR evals keep finished work, honest ceilings, EVAL_POLICY v2, faster free suite (#3031)
* chore(scripts): retire hollow and legacy paid package scripts behind one-release stubs (W8a, DX-4, CEO-31)

test:codex*, test:evals*, test:e2e*, test:gate, test:periodic, eval:bg,
eval:bg:all, eval:flake-rank, eval:watch and test:audit now print their
replacement and exit 1 via scripts/retired-command.ts. CONTRIBUTING.md
carries the same table; test/retired-commands.test.ts pins both. Eval CLI
empty-state hints point at eval:bg:pr.

* chore: delete dead update-readme-throughput, eval-watch, orphan fixtures and QA_FUNCTIONAL_INPUTS (W8b, CEO-24)

Retired with named behavior:
- update-readme-throughput.ts + readme-throughput test: replaced a README
  anchor that no longer exists from a JSON file that was never produced;
  the script was a no-op. Guarantee withdrawn (nothing to protect).
- eval-watch.ts + its dashboard tests: rendered ~/.gstack-dev/e2e-live.json
  and _partial-e2e.json, written only by unsharded runs, so it showed
  nothing for every supported (sharded) entry point. Guarantee withdrawn;
  live progress is the gstack-detach log or gh run watch. Manual-review
  rendering stays covered by eval-list and eval-summary tests.
- Orphan fixtures (autoplan-pending-artifact-ae.json, autoplan-existing-app/,
  autoplan-sign-in-ui/, parity baselines v1.47.0.0/v1.57.7.0/v1.69.1.0):
  no test, touchfile or script reads them; superseded baselines stay in
  git history.
- QA_FUNCTIONAL_INPUTS: exported, never imported.

* refactor(test-free): delete dead WORKER_HOSTILE list and buildShardArgs parallel mode

Neither had a production caller: full-suite mode runs shard processes, so the
worker quarantine was inert and --parallel was never passed (W8b).

* docs(test-value): narrow prompt-byte contract to machine-read tokens (D2)

Define prompt-byte contract as machine-read tokens (markers, field names,
command lines, enum values, file paths, security-boundary strings) and add a
sentence-pin glossary entry: convert to structural checks or delete when a
behavioral eval covers the behavior.

* test(ratchet): count free tests that slice a paid test's source

A free test that binds readFileSync(<paid test file>) and cuts it with
.slice() tests the paid harness's code out of context even when it imports a
lib/ symbol. Record the 15 existing files with reasons; new ones fail with fix
text. Self-test covers positive and negative shapes.

* test(browse): un-quarantine compare-board; all 16 board tests pass headless (W8d, CEO-24)

The GSTACK_COMPARE_BOARD_TESTS opt-in hid a headless mismatch that no
longer reproduces: all 16 tests pass on Bun 1.4.0 with the bundled
headless Chromium, solo, repeated, and beside other in-process browser
files. Protected behavior (the comparison-board DOM contract the
plan-design-review/office-hours/design-consultation feedback loop polls)
is checked on every free run again.

* test: replace silent existsSync early returns with explicit skips or assertions (W8d)

- browse/test/build.test.ts: server-node.mjs checks skip only when the
  bundle is absent and GSTACK_EXPECT_BINARIES is unset; the free CI lane
  and test:ubicloud build it and set the flag, so a dropped build step
  fails with the build command instead of passing with no assertions.
- gstack-update-check: VERSION is tracked; the guard could only hide a bug.
- gen-skill-docs host leakage/frontmatter checks assert the host tree
  exists (the module-level render always produces it).
- cso-docker staged-runtime test uses test.skipIf so reports show it as
  skipped, not passed.

* test(ship): convert ship-workflow-clarity sentence pins to structural checks

Add test/helpers/prompt-structure.ts (between, expectTokens, expectAbsent,
expectOrdered, expectMentions) with fix text on failure. ship-workflow-clarity
now pins headings, step order and machine-read tokens (commands, fields, enum
and status strings); safety rules are meaning-level keyword checks. Wording is
judged by the 'ship/SKILL.md workflow' judge in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 90 -> 0.

* ci: add platform-qualification lane for opt-in ML, gitleaks and Swift tests (W8d, CEO-24)

security-bench + security-live-playwright L4 (SECURITY_BENCH), the real
gitleaks 8.30.1 memory-ingest cases (GSTACK_TEST_GITLEAKS) and the
DebugBridge Swift build invariants (GSTACK_TEST_SWIFT) self-skip in every
lane today. No scheduled lane has their prerequisites, so per CEO-24 they
move to an owned dispatch + quarterly workflow instead of being deleted.
Each job was run locally (ML 10 pass, gitleaks 130 pass; Swift needs
macOS). test/platform-qualification-workflow.test.ts pins gate variable,
job and file together.

* fix(scripts): capture-baseline and preflight-agent-sdk no longer act on --help or typos (W8e)

capture-baseline parses its flags strictly: --help prints usage, an unknown
or valueless flag exits 2, and only a valid invocation writes a fixture
(--help used to write test/fixtures/parity-baseline-current.json).
preflight-agent-sdk gains --help, rejects unknown flags, and runs the live
SDK query (API spend) only with --live.

* test(evals): register the three keyless periodic paid files with case ids (W1b)

skill-e2e-auq-consistency, skill-e2e-auq-verbose-vs-carved-ab and
codex-e2e-recommendation-substance now carry touchfiles, a periodic tier and
kind rule (one trial, unchanged), so editing one selects its own case instead
of restoring the full PR gate. The verbose A/B case also registers the vendored
pre-cut fixture it reads, and review-army-migration-safety registers the SQL
fixture it reads.

* feat(evals): narrow PR fallback for free-only inputs (W1a, CEO-13/20, ENG-13)

The PR profile now exempts the duration seeds, every free-lane workflow
(explicit list; inventory test fails on an unclassified workflow, .yaml
and workflow_call included), scripts/ubicloud/** and fixtures declared in
the explicit FREE_FIXTURES map. Each remaining unknown file carries a label
and fix (needs touchfile entry / add to FREE_ONLY_PR_FILES / real unknown
dependency). evals.yml itself still restores the full gate.

* ci: delete ci-image.yml; the eval workflows already build and push the same content-hash tag (W8f)

evals.yml, evals-periodic.yml and evals-marathon.yml each compute the
identical hashFiles() tag and build/push it (with :buildcache and :latest)
when missing, so ci-image's push trigger and weekly cron were no-ops
(30-day median 0.5 min, 36/36 success). ci-image-tag-binding now pins the
three eval workflows.

* ci(evals): key periodic/marathon concurrency on ref+event; branch periodic dispatch skips the gate census (W2a, ENG-9, CEO-04)

* refactor(paid): drop ~160 unused imports; leaf paid-types/paid-select modules break the paid-* import cycle (W8c)

* ci(quality-gate): per-PR concurrency, free runner, drop unscoped bun audit (W2a, W8f)

- Concurrency keys on pull_request.number || run_id, so back-to-back main
  pushes no longer cancel each other's credential scan.
- ubuntu-24.04 instead of a billed 8-vCPU Ubicloud runner for a ~1 min job.
- bun audit --audit-level=critical ran on every PR regardless of diff, so a
  newly published advisory turned unrelated PRs red, with its own ignore
  policy. dependency-review (lockfile PRs, fail >= high) and the weekly OSV
  sweep remain the dependency gates.

* chore(test-free): refresh the free duration seed from the audit's Ubicloud recording

Adds the 19 files merged after the last refresh, including the 115 s
claude-overlay-setup that packed as ~1 s and doubled a shard (W6a). The seed
is re-recorded on the final tree at the end of this wave.

* ci: move tiny ubicloud-standard-2 jobs to free ubuntu-24.04 runners (W8f)

actionlint, skill-docs, dependency-review, version-gate and pr-title-sync
are sub-minute jobs; GitHub-hosted runners are free for this public repo.

* feat(test-free): pessimistic unseeded packing, seed growth ratchet and CI health summary

- Unseeded files pack at the seed's p99 instead of p75 (W6a).
- --ci-plan warns in the job summary past 5 unseeded files; --ci-verify
  lists shards that outran their prediction by 1.5x (and 30 s) plus every
  flaky pass absorbed by the serial retry (W6a, W7a job summary).
- test/free-seed-ratchet.test.ts fails when a seeded file over 60 s is not
  on scripts/free-test-seed-allowlist.json, when an entry is stale, and when
  the allowlist grows versus its merge-base copy unless the new entry is an
  annotated exception with a todo (CEO-10, DX-7). free-plan runs it with
  full history so the shrink check is real in the required lane.
- Every message names the fix command and docs anchor (DX-6).

* feat(evals): state PR coverage mode, counts, reuse and fallback files in the summary and comment (CEO-13)

* test: make the tracked-tree skill-doc freshness check local-only; tidy skill-docs header (W8f)

Every free CI shard regenerates the tracked SKILL.md files before running
tests, so the --dry-run freshness assertion compared the regenerated tree
with itself and could not fail there. It now skips under GitHub Actions;
skill-docs.yml's git diff --exit-code is CI's freshness gate. Removes a
stale concurrency comment in skill-docs.yml.

* ci(free-tests): install zsh so the bash+zsh portability arms run (W6f)

~42 zsh-arm tests (aside-probe-shell, qa-browser-preservation,
generated-docs-fences) skipped in CI because zsh is not in the runner image.
All 141 tests in those files pass with zsh present.

* feat(evals): executors write negative receipts at the execution boundary (CEO-25, ENG-6)

A completed single-trial rule/judge shard that did not pass now writes its
negative receipt beside the pass receipts in the slice artifact, so a
cancelled run's FAIL still blocks an older PASS when its report never runs.
Receipts merge negatives first and order by (run attempt, completedAt); a
same-second FAIL/PASS tie resolves to FAIL. The runner call site is a
one-line hunk in scripts/test-paid-shards.ts.

* docs(cso): state that contained runtime/scanner execution is unavailable today

The scanner catalog is empty while its build inputs await review and the
runtime catalog holds no qualified profile until the private evaluator
exists, so /cso runs static assessment only. AGENTS.md, README and
docs/cso-release-qualification.md now say so; docs/cso-scanners.md
already did.

* test(helpers): expectMentions splits on sentence ends only

Clauses joined by ';' or ':' are one rule; splitting there made a reworded
rule fail for punctuation.

* test(plan-ceo): convert skill-ceo-section-ordering sentence pins

Safety and authority rules (never/do not/stop/only/without/wait/approval) are
meaning-level expectMentions checks; other sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, option rows, placeholders and machine-read lines (auto-decide
annotation, Mode:/approved decisions format, STATUS/SOURCE fields,
CROSS-MODEL marker, gstack-ceo-mode-handoff) stay as tokens; ordering checks
unchanged. Behavior is covered by the periodic PTY case in
skill-e2e-plan-ceo-review-section-loading.test.ts.
Sentence pins: 210 -> 23.

* test(helpers): expectMentions treats wrapped lines as one sentence

Templates hard-wrap prose; only sentence ends and blank lines separate rules.

* test(gen-skill-docs): convert sentence pins to meaning checks or drop them

Safety/authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks; other English
sentences are dropped (wording is judged by the per-skill workflow judges in
skill-llm-eval and the E2E cases in touchfiles-data). Commands, config keys,
markers (PLAN MODE EXCEPTION, NO UNRESOLVED DECISIONS, Gate outcome), field
names and alternation-based meaning regexes stay. Removed the now-empty
'contains opt-in AskUserQuestion text' test (only pinned a sentence; the
resolver's AskUserQuestion wiring is covered by the codex second-opinion
tests in the same describe). Lane E's existsSync hunks are untouched.
Sentence pins: 216 -> 65 (remaining lines carry machine tokens).

* ci(windows): shard the Windows lane via --ci-plan/--ci-run/--ci-verify; move native campaigns to native-qualification.yml

- windows-free-tests.yml: a Linux plan job curates and packs the Windows-safe
  files into 6 shards, one strict serial shard per windows-latest job, and a
  Linux aggregate verifies exact coverage and every result (8.1 min on one
  runner today). --windows-only now combines with the CI modes; the plan binds
  the curated file set (W6e).
- Every Windows plan and --list run prints the curated count with its top
  exclusion reasons in the job summary; a free ratchet fails when the curated
  subset drops below its floor, with the fix (W6e).
- The four Dia/cookie diagnostic dispatch campaigns move to the dispatch-only
  native-qualification.yml with one exclusive `mode` choice input, so their
  red dispatch runs no longer read as a red PR lane (W8f). Their workflow pins
  move to test/windows-native-workflows.test.ts; the boolean-exclusivity
  guard is replaced by the choice input.

* feat(paid): per-slice CI job ceilings and an in-process slice deadline with not_run/hung outcomes and checkpoints (W2c, ENG-2)

* fix(pass-rates): segment trial history strictly by EVAL_POLICY version

Reader-compatibility floor for EVAL_POLICY v2 (ENG-14/CEO-35/DX-12). Only
trials under the reader's own policy version feed labels and alarms; older
policy trials stay visible but are never scored or used as a drift baseline;
trials from a newer policy are ignored with a printed count and fix text.
Reverting the later v2 writer commits leaves a reader that cannot pool v2
records into v1 series (the pre-PR reader at 2db0b3a does: it reports a
mixed fixture as FAILING with drift alarms).

* docs: one contributor command table; retired commands, seed sources and current workflows (W8g, DX-5, DX-13, CEO-12)

- CONTRIBUTING.md gains 'Which command do I run?' (task -> command ->
  cost/time -> needs, including branch validation via gh workflow run);
  CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and TESTING_INTERNALS.md link to it instead of
  repeating command lists. Tier tables drop retired commands and stale
  per-run dollar estimates.
- Retired names (test:evals, test:e2e, eval:bg, eval:flake-rank, eval:watch,
  ...) are gone from CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, TESTING_INTERNALS.md,
  ARCHITECTURE.md and USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK.md.
- The flake-ledger claim now says what happens: CI uploads flake-ledger-*
  artifacts; eval:pass-rates reads only the local ledger.
- TESTING_INTERNALS states that only test:ubicloud --record-durations
  produces an acceptable duration seed (DX-13).
- CI section: quality gate no longer runs bun audit; dependency-review's
  real trigger; the platform-qualification lane.
- docs/test-audit-2026-09.md gets a corrections section for its stale claims.
- TODOS.md: audit follow-ups (post-merge metrics, stub removal, name reclaim,
  diff-aware planner); eval-watch shard-awareness and the image freshness
  tripwire closed as won't-do.

* feat(evals): recover receipts of cancelled PR runs (W1c, CEO-14/34, ENG-4/5/7)

A new recover-receipts job runs base-ref code with actions: read, restores
the PR's store, merges the receipts of completed cancelled evals.yml runs
for this PR (provenance-checked, at most 5, oldest first, negatives first),
reconstructs completed panel negatives with panelVerdict() (partial panels
get no credit) and keeps a recovery.json checkpoint that never advances past
an unresolved run. plan-slices keeps contents: read, takes the store as an
artifact, turns reuse off when recovery degraded or a run is unresolved, and
carries the whole store to slices-report so nothing is lost. Any gh problem
degrades to no recovered receipts with a named reason.

* feat(evals): classify this wave's free-only tools and workflows for PR selection

platform-qualification.yml, retired-command.ts, test-health-report.ts,
bump-harness-version.ts and eval-bg.ts never run inside a paid case.

* feat(evals): debounce PR push bursts before planning paid slices (W1d, CEO-15, ENG-11, DX-7)

A tiny ubuntu-24.04 job waits 90 s only on synchronize when another run for
the PR started in the last 15 minutes; cancel-in-progress supersedes, and a
run that outlives the wait reports "superseded by <sha>" and plans nothing.
Labels: evals-no-debounce skips the wait, evals-fresh disables receipt reuse.

* perf(test): move the real-process browser settlement cases out of test-free-shards.test.ts (W6b)

The 19 owned-browser settlement modes were 85 s of the file's 95 s and could
not be packed apart from the fast runner unit cases. They move to a shared
fixture with two files (lifecycle 47 s, ownership 39 s); the unit file drops
to 10 s. Same modes, same assertions.

* chore(evals): delete the finished validation_phase dispatch and its inline planner (W8f)

Retirement (CEO-24): the protected behavior was a one-off cookie-repair
validation subset (eight dependent cases) and a quality/behavior split of
the census; that validation is complete, so the guarantee is withdrawn.
Branch validation dispatches evals.yml with evals_all.

* perf(test): inject the office-hours record grace in non-cooperative deadline tests

* perf(test): shrink aside-render process slack via GSTACK_RENDER_SLACK_MS in timeout tests

* perf(test): make the memorable lock give-up configurable for lock-contention tests

* perf(test): check install-timeout knob normalization through its own setup lines

* perf(test): inject a 2 s storage-reset deadline in the late isolated dispatch test

* perf(test): shorten the slow gbrain fake to 1 s, still past the 300 ms probe timeout

* ci(free-tests): run only cso-docker-integration in the free CSO Docker job (F16)

cso-node-lifecycle-integration and cso-stack-cold-integration need
GSTACK_CSO_TEST_STACK images and always skipped there; they stay in the CSO
runtime workflows through test:cso:docker.

* test(gen-skill-docs,plan-ceo): split mixed sentence pins into tokens and rules

Sentences that wrap a backticked or bold token keep the token (expectTokens)
and, when they state a safety rule, a keyword check; short safety sentences
(25-39 chars) get the same treatment.

* test(plan-ceo): convert ceo-workflow-clarity.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: periodic PTY case skill-e2e-plan-ceo-review-section-loading and the plan-ceo workflow judges.
Sentence pins: 13 -> 1.

* test(plan-eng): convert eng-review-routing.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: plan-eng E2E cases (skill-e2e-plan-eng-*) and the plan-eng workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 28 -> 6.

* test(plan-eng): convert eng-scope-entry-ap.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: plan-eng E2E cases (skill-e2e-plan-eng-*) and the plan-eng workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 16 -> 5.

* test(plan): convert plan-scope-selection.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: plan-review E2E cases and workflow judges in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 19 -> 2.

* test(qa): convert qa-lazy-sections.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 71 -> 11.

* test(qa): convert qa-browser-preservation.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 25 -> 11.

* test(qa): convert qa-probe-gates.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 20 -> 5.

* test(qa): convert qa-checkpoint-evidence.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 7 -> 5.

* test(qa): convert qa-evidence.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 4 -> 3.

* test(design): convert design-consultation-contract.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: design-consultation E2E/judge cases in touchfiles-data.
Sentence pins: 44 -> 11.

* test(outside-voice): convert run-in-background-guidance.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: outside-voice E2E cases and plan-review workflow judges.
Sentence pins: 35 -> 5.

* test(spec): convert spec-template-invariants.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: spec E2E/judge cases in touchfiles-data.
Sentence pins: 36 -> 21.

* perf(evals): 420 s census slice budget; case-shard skill-e2e-qa-workflow; seed its case walls (W5c)

* feat(evals): evals.yml dispatch contract for eval:bg (CEO-17/29, DX-1, ENG-8/12)

workflow_dispatch gains base_ref, base_sha, expected_sha, nonce and
pr_receipts. The nonce appears in run-name so the dispatcher resolves its
own run; evals_all=false runs the PR profile against base_sha/base_ref; a
checkout that differs from expected_sha fails before any paid work with a
named fix; pr_receipts reads that PR's receipts read-only through the
recover-receipts artifact path (never the cache) and never saves.

* ci(windows): pack the Windows lane with Windows-measured durations (W6e)

The first sharded run (37221451711) finished in 6.0 min: the Linux seed has
browse/test/cookie-import-native-job.test.ts at ~0 s (its cases skip on
Linux) but it takes 122 s on Windows, so one shard ran 242 s against an 84 s
prediction. The plan now reads scripts/free-test-durations-windows.json; a
record_durations dispatch times every Windows-safe file alone and uploads it.

* test(free): settlement case files import the runner rule they exercise

Keeps the split files out of the test-of-test ratchet: the retry-eligibility
rule is a direct runner import passed to the shared fixture.

* fix(marathon): no hollow plan-decision-classification shard; office-hours marathon scenario scoped to the pilot (W2f)

* test(free): satisfy the typecheck:test ratchet in the seed ratchet test

* refactor(ci-history): one shared GitHub history reader with the CI flake-ledger reader

Extract pass-rates' gh fetch layer into scripts/lib/ci-history.ts (CEO-09) and
add the W7a reader: paged run listings that fail whole on any page error,
per-run artifact downloads (cached, size-capped, data only), flake-ledger
parsing, the pre-registered flaky-file rule (> 5% of main free-tests runs over
a window of at least 20 runs, widened to the newest 20 runs when the window is
thinner), a job-summary table, and named unavailable reasons with next steps.

* feat(test-health): test:health report of the audit success metrics

scripts/test-health-report.ts (CEO-09/06/22/32, DX-8/9/12/13) prints every
success metric with its counting rule from CI history: PR full-fallback rate,
reused PR trial records, PR-lane spend per merged PR and per validated
revision, cancelled slice-minutes per week, push-to-verdict p50/p95, census
expected failed trials per run with raw failure rate per kind/class and
P(lane red) under the recorded panels vs single-trial aggregation, INFRA
re-dispatches, quarantine evidence (insufficient evidence distinct from
healthy), free flaky-pass rate, free/Windows wall, free serial time and the
net-complexity line. An unreadable input prints 'unavailable: <reason>; next:
<step>', never 0. --enforce fails on a flaky file (W7a) or > 5 unseeded free
files (CEO-10); unavailable checks never fail and keep the issue open.

* test(review): convert review-workflow-clarity.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: review E2E cases (skill-e2e-review*) and the review workflow judge in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 85 -> 17.

* test(review): convert review-entry-and-design-clarity-au.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: review E2E cases (skill-e2e-review*) and the review workflow judge in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 15 -> 4.

* test(review): convert review-enum-lifecycle.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: review E2E cases (skill-e2e-review*) and the review workflow judge in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 8 -> 0.

* test(ship): convert ship-control-flow.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: ship E2E cases (skill-e2e-ship*, skill-e2e-workflow) and the 'ship/SKILL.md workflow' judge.
Sentence pins: 74 -> 9.

* test(ship): convert ship-skip-requeue.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering

* test(plan-ceo): restore the stale closing-route guard

The negative check for 'Closing hooks' / 'return to section' guards a retired
route token, not a sentence; the first conversion pass dropped it.

* ci(test-health): weekly test-health workflow with an honest tracking issue

New test-health.yml (CEO-18/DX-9): Monday 10:00 UTC after the periodic census
plus dispatch, free ubuntu-24.04 runner, permissions contents:read +
actions:read + issues:write only. Runs bun run test:health --since-days 7
--enforce; an enforced failure upserts one tracking issue, a run with
unavailable inputs keeps it open and lists them, and it closes only when every
enforced check has evidence and passes. Only main runs touch the issue.

* feat(evals): an edited paid test file runs its own gate cases in the PR lane (DX-11)

A gate case outside the audited fast profile is selected when its single
owning paid test file changed and the runner can select it by name (its
Bun test is named by the case id). The manifest records directCases and
validation accepts only recorded, name-addressable ones; the runner and
planner read the file->cases map from test-pr-profile. Cases the runner
cannot address stay deferred with the fix. An inventory test covers every
owned gate case. Touches one hunk each in test-paid-shards.ts and
lib/paid-plan.ts, and pr-shared-input-selection.test.ts's ship-skip pin.

* ci(osv): tracking issue for scheduled reds and a 14-day suppression expiry test

F11/W8f: a failed main OSV scan now upserts one tracking issue and a clean
scan closes it (scheduled reds notified no one during the August backlog).
A free test fails 14 days before any .osv-scanner.toml ignoreUntil (all four
expire 2026-11-30), with the fix: upgrade and delete, or re-justify and move
the date.

* test(ship,review): keep guards against retired fail-open instructions

'skip silently' on reviewer failure and 'do not block /ship on subagent
failure' were harmful instructions, not prose style; keep them absent with the
shortest distinctive phrase.

* feat(eval-select): default to the pr profile

DX-10: eval:select previews the PR lane's selection by default, matching
test:pr and eval:bg:pr; --profile full (or EVALS_PROFILE=full) keeps the plain
touchfile selection.

* test(evals): type-clean the recovery gh fake (typecheck:test ratchet)

* chore(windows): record the Windows duration seed (run 37221963236)

573 Windows-safe files timed alone on windows-latest; cookie-import-native-job
is 102 s there. Six shards now predict 154 s each.

* feat(evals): eval:bg dispatches the pushed ref to CI or runs locally under a 1.5x-planned cap (W5d, CEO-17/29, DX-1/2/3/7, ENG-12/19)

* feat(runners): --help on both shard runners via the shared flag loop; paid runner header describes today's planner/executor/report (W8e)

* test(windows): drop the stale Playwright exclusion and force-include probe-proven files (W6e)

A temporary windows-latest probe (run 37221995077) ran each of the 97 files
excluded for 'launches Playwright browser' or 'raw /tmp/ path' alone: all 17
Playwright files pass (Chromium is installed and Bun drives it there), and 41
of the /tmp files pass with executed cases. The Playwright pattern is removed
and the 41 files are force-included with the probe as their reason; the 36
real failures stay excluded. The curated subset grows from 573 to 631 files
and the ratchet floor follows. Windows curation moves to
scripts/lib/windows-curation.ts (the runner drops to 2000 lines).

* test(free): one install fixture cloned from a read-only seed (W6c, ENG-1)

Merge test/helpers/setup-codex-scope-fixture.ts into install-fixture.ts.
The checkout is built once per test file into a read-only seed and cloned
per fixture with copy-on-write where the filesystem has it (full copy
otherwise), restoring each file's own mode; clones never hard-link the
seed because put() and tests write in place. Callers register
afterAll(cleanupSeed); Bun's runner fires no exit event, so seeds of
killed runs are swept by pid. test/install-fixture.test.ts is the ENG-1
tripwire: put/setVersion/chmod in one clone leave the seed and a sibling
unchanged, and clones share no inodes with the read-only seed.

* test(free): split claude-overlay-setup by describe (W6b)

The 115 s serial file becomes default/lifecycle/installs files (5/4/3
tests, unchanged bodies) sharing test/helpers/claude-overlay-fixture.ts,
so the shard packer can balance them.

* test(windows): exclude the skip-only claude-overlay setup files from the Windows subset

Their real-setup cases are describe.skipIf(win32); after the split their bin/
spawns live in the shared helper, so the source scan stopped seeing them.

* test(skills): convert agents-digest.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword

* test: restore pins on renderer output and paid-fixture inputs

cso-contracts (the report renderer's required empty phrase), memory-ingest
(binary output), carve-plan-fixture, ship-skip-actor and cso-eval (inputs the
paid harness builds) assert product or fixture output, not skill prose, so the
value-bar narrowing does not apply to them.

* feat(eval-policy): v2 series identity, HARNESS_VERSION guard and identity backtest

W4a (CEO-27/ENG-3/DX-6), not yet wired to the writer: caseSeriesIdentitiesV2
keys a case by the bytes it owns (paid test file, fixtures, its skills' prompt
files including the generated SKILL.md) plus HARNESS_VERSION, and records the
full consumed-input fingerprint as provenance. scripts/harness-version.json
pins the blob of every shared-harness file (GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES plus the session
runners, PTY harness, e2e gate and LLM judge), one line per file;
test/harness-version.test.ts fails on drift with both fixes, and
scripts/bump-harness-version.ts records the decision: --bump (new series for
every case) or --non-behavioral (compatibility entry, no reset).
eval-trial-series --backtest replays identities over weekly main revisions
and recorded trials (ENG-3/DX-12).

* feat(pass-rates): weekly history is main's scheduled runs plus main dispatches

W4b: pass-rates reads evals-periodic history from main only, keeping scheduled
runs and main dispatches and never a branch dispatch, so back-to-back branch
validation runs neither feed pass rates nor count as weeks for quarantine
expiry or drift. --branch <name> still reads one branch's runs for inspection.

* docs(test-audit): EVAL_POLICY v2 decision memo with the identity backtest

D1 memo (CEO-33, ENG-3, DX-12, CEO-27): P(green) arithmetic, false-blocking
targets, the v2 identity rule and harness guard, weekly history, W4c evidence
(the named 'stochastic' cases pass 26/27 to 34/34, so they stay rule), the
backtest over 29 weekly main revisions and 14,898 recorded trials, what it
means for quarantine reachability, alternatives (gating vs trended, adaptive
panels not adopted, buy vs build), and the rollback proof on the pre-PR reader.

* feat(eval-policy): EVAL_POLICY v2 writer: case-owned series identity

The v2 writer, last commit of the W4 block (DX-12/ENG-14/ENG-21): the report
job's stamp now writes caseSeriesIdentitiesV2 (case-owned bytes plus
HARNESS_VERSION) as series_identity, the full consumed-input fingerprint as
series_fingerprint and harness_version as provenance, and EVAL_POLICY.version
is 2 (approved 2026-10-04, D1). The v1 touchfile identity is removed.
Rollback = revert this commit (and the W4 commits above the reader-compat
floor); readers then ignore the v2 records with a printed count.

* test: restore pins on paid-harness prompt inputs

review-enum-lifecycle and plan-review-report-recording assert the prompt a
paid case's harness builds (opts.prompt / call.prompt), a fixture contract,
not skill prose.

* test(security): check injected safety lines on meaning, not capitals

content-security, the canary instruction and the arm judge prompt still must
carry their never-follow / never-output / exact-"none" rules; the checks are
case-insensitive keyword checks so emphasis can change. The UNTRUSTED envelope
markers and "none" value stay exact tokens. (Hidden element stripping fails
locally only because Playwright Chromium is not installed; same at base.)

* test(plan-ceo): keep the outside-voice scope-summary rule as a meaning check

The first codemod pass left an empty if body (TS1313).

* chore(windows): re-record the Windows duration seed for the 631-file subset (run 37222668939)

* ci(free-tests): summarize every shard's flake ledger in the aggregate job (W7a)

The aggregate downloads flake-ledger-* (one subdirectory per shard) and
appends lane C's `scripts/test-health-report.ts flake-summary` output to the
job summary before strict verification. The runner's own flaky table is
dropped so the ledger reader stays the single source; --ci-verify keeps the
shard-overrun warning.

* feat(evals): free test files anywhere and the stored-zip helper never restore the full PR gate (W1a)

The CEO-23 replay found design/test free tests forcing fallback (36485436963).

* feat(evals): replay recorded PR pushes through today's selector (CEO-23, ENG-18)

scripts/replay-pr-selection.ts reports per push the recorded vs replayed
mode and case count, dropped gate cases, retired failed cases and every
miss (a failed case that depends on the diff but is no longer selected).

* refactor(evals): one case-sharded carve-section-loading file with a case id and touchfiles per skill (W5a)

* test(free): hold qa-deadline's full-pipe case on a FIFO, not a paused Bun stream

Bun gives a child 'pipe' stdio a unix socketpair, so whether the 2 MB fill
actually blocks depends on the parent's reader and the host's socket buffer
sizes. CI (run 36761671811, both attempts) saw exit 0 after ~130 ms; with
net.core.{w,r}mem_default=4 MiB locally the old case fails 3/3 the same way.
A FIFO the test never reads is bounded by the kernel pipe buffer, so the
receipt write genuinely blocks and the 5 s settlement deadline must fire.
The 7 s bound now starts once the preload has queued the write.

* test(free): event-driven waits in pty-output-wake

close-releases-observers: the 500 ms wall race becomes an ordering check
(the waiter is released while only SIGINT has been sent, before close's
escalation finishes), and the Bun.spawn spy fakes only the PTY launch so a
shard neighbor's in-process spawn cannot add a stray SIGTERM (CI runs
36015568981, 36036582721, 36074636848).

continuous-redraws: the fixture spinner stops once the observer has made
five coalesced reads, so the run reaches its work deadline with no redraw
in flight. Streaming right up to the deadline raced the helper's screen
drain and failed as 'PTY screen parse failed; viewport is incomplete'
(5 CI runs 09-30..10-03; 4/40 locally under 8 busy loops, 0/40 after).

* test(free): session-runner long-capture handshake waits for the collected Read event

The fake CLI's init line arms the runner's work-phase timer, so the worker's
handshake (work-ready + a >200 s timer) could pass before the runner's read
loop had collected the Read event printed just before work-ready. Advancing
the clock then killed the run with the Read lost: readSection false (CI run
37194511124). The worker now also waits for the runner's own progress line
for that Read. Forcing the observed ordering (work-ready 200 ms before the
Read line) fails the old test deterministically and passes the new one.

* test(free): budget-override restores the CI variables it rewrites

Its provenance cases set and then deleted CI, GITHUB_ACTIONS, GITHUB_REF_NAME,
GITHUB_SHA and the GitLab CI_* names without restoring them, so in a CI shard
every later file ran with CI unset. qa-only-cleanup's real browse daemons
then launched Chromium without --no-sandbox, the sandbox failed on the
runner, and both real-Chromium cases timed out with 'QA cleanup fixture did
not become ready' (shard 12 attempt 1 of six runs on 10-04, retry alone
green). Retained startup log: 'Chromium sandboxing failed!', child env with
no CI. Reproduced 3/3 with CI=true, userns denied and budget-override ahead
of qa-only-cleanup in one process; 0/3 after.

* test(free): pr-shared-input-selection names its base and package history

Every selection now passes EVALS_BASE and packageVersionOnly explicitly, so
no case reads the checkout's git state. Before, 12 calls ran
detectBaseBranch and the cumulative case diffed package.json against
merge-base(origin/main, HEAD) — the ambient input that turned main red in
runs 36572856858 and 36594314027. A PATH git spy counts 14 git calls in the
old file and 0 now.

* feat(evals): derive PR-lane dependents for unmapped files instead of restoring the full gate

scripts/pr-dependencies.ts derives, from the checked-out tree, which paid
cases consume each repository file: test import closures, repo paths and
path.join segments in code/shell/skill text (whole-line comments and
selection data excluded), bin script names, compiled binaries by outfile
path (scripts/build.sh), package scripts, template placeholders through
RESOLVERS, and host configs by host id. The global touchfiles' import
closure is global.

PR selection: an unmapped file with derived consumers puts the run in the
new 'dependents' mode (every dependent gate case and judge, no profile cut);
a tracked file under a derivable directory that nothing reaches is exempt;
periodic/marathon workflows, .gitignore and tsconfig.test.json never run
the PR gate. PR_FULL_GATE_FILES is the fail-closed list (deps, CI image,
setup, build, evals.yml and its actions, test preload, tsconfig.json,
.gitattributes, the skill generator and preamble resolvers, the eval
policy). Untracked or underivable files restore the full gate with fix
text. The summary and PR comment list derived dependents.

* feat(evals): replay misses count derived dependents; report wave vs ordinary pushes (CEO-23)

* test: drop FREE_FIXTURES entries for fixtures deleted in W8b

* test: re-shape the census attribution fixture to qa-workflow and carve case shards

* test: census fixture case order

* ci: 420 s PR-lane slices with per-slice ceilings; periodic tracking issue only on main

evals.yml joins the census lanes at the 420 s slice budget (W5c/CEO-15) and
indexes each eval slice's job timeout from .plan.sliceCiTimeoutMinutes with
the slice-deadline clock as its first step (W2c/ENG-2). evals-periodic.yml's
tracking-issue upsert and close run only on refs/heads/main, so a branch
dispatch whose gate census is skipped (CEO-04) never opens or closes #2755.

* docs: integrate lane docs for the audit wave (eval-bg backends, PR fallback, policy v2, ceilings, evidence)

- CLAUDE.md: 'Running evals as an agent' describes scripts/eval-bg.ts's
  dispatch and local backends, forcing flags, the sentinel and status;
  eval:select's PR-profile default; prompt-structure helper and value-bar
  terms. instruction-facts now requires scripts/eval-bg.ts in that section.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: decision table gains test:health, eval:select default,
  eval:bg backends and the include_gate_census / evals_all dispatch lines;
  420 s runners and per-runner ceilings; flake ledger, OSV tracking issue
  and expiry test, weekly test health; prompt-structure guidance.
- AGENTS.md: build commands name the eval:bg backend choice and test:health.
- docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md: anchors the fix texts point to
  (#pr-paid-lane-fallback, #pass-rate-policy-versions, #harness-version,
  #flake-ledger, #duration-seed), receipts/recovery/debounce, per-slice
  ceilings, the slice deadline with not_run/hung and checkpoints, the eval-bg
  cap formula in place of the detach floors, EVAL_POLICY v2 history, carve
  case shards via --case.
- docs/test-audit-2026-10.md: CEO-23 replay (165/168 -> 164/168
  full-fallback, 0 misses), ENG-17 slice table (re-measured on this tree),
  D2 prose-pin metric.
- TODOS.md: progress note on 'Let pass-rate history decide the rest'.
- test/testing-internals-anchors.test.ts: every TESTING_INTERNALS.md#anchor
  named in code must match a heading.

* test(free): hold qa-deadline's blocked-output-pipe receipts on a FIFO

The five 'guard %s receipts survive a blocked output pipe' cases filled a
paused Bun child pipe with 2 MiB. That pipe is a unix socketpair, so the
fill only blocks while the host's socket buffers are smaller than the write:
with net.core.{w,r}mem_default=4 MiB the old cases fail 13 of 15 case runs
(the guard finishes before the test resumes the stream). The held stream is
now a FIFO the test drains only after resume(), bounded by the kernel pipe
buffer; Windows keeps the paused pipe. Bounds and assertions are unchanged.

* test(free): qa-deadline waits for a written pid, not just the pid file

DRIVER and LEAF write their pid with writeFileSync, so under load ready()
can see the file before its digits and fail 'expected > 0, received 0'
(seen once in 150 loaded runs). After any early failure the finally
SIGKILLs the CLI, which orphans the detached command group; a leaf whose pid
file is not yet readable then keeps the output stream open and the case
hangs to its 15 s timeout (2/80 old-file runs and 3/310 FIFO-only runs
under 8 busy loops; the instrumented hang showed the CLI already SIGKILLed
by the finally). ready() now polls within the same 3 s bound until the file
holds a positive pid.

* fix(evals): a deleted file selects the dependents of the live files that still reference it

PR selection treated every path absent from the head tree as an unknown
dependency, so any PR that deleted a file forced the full gate. A deleted
path is now placed like a live one, against the head tree: a matching
touchfile selects its cases; live code, skill text or a full-gate input that
still references it (path, extensionless import target, relative import,
bin name, ancestor directory, compiled-binary outfile; whole-line comments
and data files excluded) contributes its dependents, a full-gate referencer
restores the full gate with a 'deleted but still referenced' fix, and an
unreferenced deleted path has no dependents. Deleted PR_FULL_GATE_FILES
entries still force the full gate. Tests that used absent paths as stand-ins
for new unmapped files now use tracked root files (or an explicit tracked
set); the CEO-23 replay counts misses through those references too.

* docs: integrate free-suite lane docs (seed anchor, Windows lane, native qualification, install fixture, flake rules)

- docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md: '### Free suite duration seed' (the anchor the
  seed messages link) with DX-13, the 99th-percentile packing, --ci-plan
  warning, --ci-verify overruns and the CEO-10 seed ratchet; the Windows
  6-job lane, its Windows-measured seed and refresh dispatch, curation and
  WINDOWS_CURATED_FLOOR; native-qualification.yml modes; the merged
  install fixture; test-only timing knobs; the flake-ledger job summary,
  Windows ledger names and three free-suite flake rules; zsh in the
  Ubicloud mirror.
- scripts/test-health-report.ts links #free-suite-duration-seed, so the
  two seed messages share one heading (the anchor test caught the split).
- CONTRIBUTING.md: Windows seed refresh and native qualification rows;
  seed-source pointer. AGENTS.md: Windows six-job lane.
- docs/cso-release-qualification.md: the free CSO Docker job runs only
  cso-docker-integration.test.ts.
- docs/test-audit-2026-10.md: free-suite evidence lines.
- TODOS.md: CEO-11b progress note on the pre-push hook hang.

* test: final duration seeds on the integrated tree; retire the emptied cookie-validation-phases file

Linux seed re-recorded on Ubicloud standard-16 and the Windows seed from
dispatch run 37227140871, both at c903310. The seed allowlist drops the three
entries that are no longer over the ceiling. cookie-validation-phases lost its
validation-phase pins with W8f and its Windows/Dia pins moved to
windows-native-workflows with native-qualification.yml, so the file is
deleted and the curated Windows floor rises to 638. The Windows recorder writes
the seed at its default path so GSTACK_FREE_TEST_DURATIONS never leaks into
timed tests.

* test: re-express stale PR-lane pins against the new evals.yml contract

- ci-eval-cache: the profile/fresh expressions now include evals_all=false
  dispatches and pr_receipts/evals-fresh; the PR store is restored only by
  recover-receipts (still scoped to repository_id + PR, PR events only),
  plan-slices takes it as an artifact and never touches the cache, saves
  stay PR-only, EVALS_CACHE_PR binds pr_receipts dispatches, and the report
  verdict artifact carries report receipts.
- ci-paid-coordination: plan-slices needs only the two ubuntu coordination
  jobs (never the image); the fork/Dependabot clause is unchanged on
  plan-slices and also gates debounce and recover-receipts; only recovery
  holds actions: read.
- qa-supervision-selection: auq-consistency and auq-verbose-vs-carved-ab
  (W1b) reach claude-pty-runner and pty-screen through auq-sdk-capture,
  exactly as auq-format-gate does.
- paid-retry-supervision: the full-validation plan uses a tracked full-gate
  input (setup); an absent path is now a deletion placed by its references.

* ci(windows): record the Windows seed at the default path

* chore: HARNESS_VERSION non-behavioral decision for the audit-wave integration

* v1.91.20.0 release metadata: test, eval and CI audit wave

* test(compare-board): wait for the post-submit state the feedback POST settles

The two post-submit assertions read the board once, but the board disables
the submit button and shows the message only after its feedback POST
resolves. On a loaded Ubicloud shard the read beat the round trip (FLAKY-PASS
in the final free-suite run). Delaying the POST by 400 ms reproduces both
failures at HEAD; polling for the settled state passes.

* test(plan-eng plan-mode): run the seeded STOP-gate smoke in its own fixture project

The seeded plan proposes a custom test runner, so the review's Step 0 reads
the working tree's test setup. In the gstack checkout that is gstack's own
sharded runner, and the case timed out at 300 s in census 37228573062 after
this wave reshaped the runner. It now runs in a four-file Bun project with
git history, with the product-notice suppression auto-decide-preserved's
standalone fixture already uses. Local pass on Bun 1.4.0 + Claude Code
2.1.284: asked in 121 s, seed tokens observed.

* test(plan-mode evidence): pin the seeded eng smoke's isolated fixture cwd and env

* ci(image): Git >= 2.44 so paid shared-libs cases run the supported safe-git path

bin/gstack-safe-git prefixes every /deslop-shared-libs Git read with
--no-lazy-fetch, which noble's git 2.43 rejects (exit 129). The eval image
therefore ran every paid shared-libs case on the unsupported-Git fallback:
local history unavailable, branch HEAD unknown. shared-libs-read-only failed
on exactly that in PR run 37230639146 ("Current branch HEAD: unknown. The
safe-git probe failed (unknown option: --no-lazy-fetch, git 2.43.0)") and in
2 of 74 earlier PR runs. The image installs current Git from the Ubuntu Git
Maintainers PPA and fails its build if --no-lazy-fetch is missing; the
deliberate unsupported-Git case keeps its fake Git.

* eval: pool matching branch census trials into main's pass-rate series (D1 option b)

Approved 2026-10-05. eval:pass-rates also reads completed branch census runs
in the weekly window. A branch trial counts only toward a series a main run
also has (same case-owned bytes, HARNESS_VERSION, model and CLI), so a branch
extends main's history but never starts or becomes a case's current series;
weeks for quarantine expiry still count main runs only. The D1 backtest put
this at 67 of 210 cases with enough trials for the entry rule, against 0 of
195 on main alone.

* C2: /qa defines its outcome filename fields; QA report templates name the measured timing fields

Low judge samples in failing panels named both: qa workflow (37186854666)
'an undefined {user} in the outcome filename', and qa-only workflow
(37198445662) 'template asks for Duration / durationMs totals while
reporting.md mandates Probe budget and Guarded command time'. The qa
union stays under its 1.11 size ratio (93292 of 93294 bytes).

(cherry picked from commit e14c0c1de1)

* C2: Browser Quick gets a feasible budget; QA loop names its directory and stop path

Judge rationales on the qa-only panels (2 of the last 3) cited the 30 s
Browser Quick budget: homepage + 5 targets, each a checkpoint write and a
guarded command, left ~5 s per probe. Quick is now 180 s (method text: 3
minutes); the qa-only-no-fix paid check expects the same native deadline.
PROBE_DIR points at its source line, a stopped loop goes to the final
report steps (annotations, materialize, Markdown), and /review and /ship
say that after smoke expiry only plan checks rerun in revalidation.

(cherry picked from commit 78d4a2a343)

* qa: fit the C2 judge fixes under the qa and review size caps

Brings GSTA-21's qa.ts trims (3bd625d, ce73af0) for the cherry-picked C2
wording: PROBE_DIR keeps 'owned', the stop line points at §4, and the
post-expiry rule is one sentence, so /review fits its cap. qa measures
93,303 / 84,049 = 1.11010 against the same 1.1102 cap GSTA-21 set. The
qa-only workflow judge passed 10 of 10 local trials on this wording (7 of 10
before the C2 fixes).

* test: qa-only fixture keeps its caller-set 30 s deadline

The qa-only-no-fix fixture tells the model to start the guard with 30 s
(a caller limit), so its deadline assertion's default stays 30 000 ms; the
product's Browser Quick default (180 s) does not apply to it. Reverts the
helper and its test to their base.

(cherry picked from commit e36e622add)

* test: qa-quick sets a caller probe limit and drains past its session budget

C2 raised Browser Quick's native budget to 180 s. qa-quick is the only gate case
on the native budget, and its wall went 194 s (main periodic, pre-C2) -> 254 s and
274 s (this PR's runs) -> 300 s session timeout (run 37242691913): the agent now
probes every navigation target with a checkpoint, then needs ~80 s to report.
Like qa-only-no-fix, the eval now sets a caller probe limit (30 s), scopes the
fixture, and gives bun's outer timeout the session drain margin instead of racing
the 300 s session. The product's 180 s budget and the session budget are unchanged.
Diagnostic rerun passed in 195 s.

(cherry picked from commit f8dc64031e)

* chore: restore the audit wave's package scripts after the main merge (version 1.91.23)

* qa: keep main's one-sentence post-expiry rule for /review and /ship

The C2 variants ("step 4c reruns plan checks only" and "even in 4c") read
to the review workflow judge as conflicting with Step 5.8's repeat-pass
reruns: 6 of 10 local trials passed with the longer sentence and PR run
37248650879 failed on the shorter one. Main's "Post-expiry smoke rechecks are
not-run." passed 10 of 10. qa (9/10), qa-only (10/10) and
ship-managed-hook-refresh (10/10) were measured on the same tree.

* fix(ship): documentation section has one saved source inserted by cat (never retyped); spawned-marker evidence is the child output; refreshed codex/factory ship goldens

* test(docsync): the byte-exact insert positive is POSIX-only (the bash-command observer refuses backslash paths by design)

* test(evals): plan-design-with-ui focus-title rule accepts the comma-less 'dimensions or focus' wording (replayed on the captured CI run, negative controls kept)

* fix(qa-callers): exploratory preflight says the scope/method Reads come after exploratory.md; design-review scan check credits an executed scan proven by one engine run over the changed files

Garry Tan 7fca42ad8b v1.91.12.0 v1.91.12.0: audit fix wave, ~11-minute paid eval lanes, eval reliability policy (#2999)
* test: delete test-infrastructure dead code (G)

- exit-propagation drives the runner's real strict verdict
  (BunTestOutputClassifier + strictTestExitCode); delete the unused
  shardRunLooksTruncated predicate.
- delete skill-coverage-matrix registry + its gate (nothing reads it; the
  floor already iterates skillCensus()).
- delete touchfiles-facade export-parity tests (Bun fails missing imports
  at link time) and the duplicated E2E_TIERS tier-value test.
- delete brain-cache-spec TRANSPORT_DEFAULT_POLICY, SKILL_RUN_RETENTION_DAYS
  and the now-unused BrainTrustPolicy type with their literal tests.
  AUTOPLAN_PREFLIGHT_BUDGET_BYTES stays: skill-preflight-budget enforces it
  against real resolver output.
- delete audit-compliance's JSDoc-comment grep.

* test: replace product tests that fake the product with real-boundary tests (F)

- design: serve.test.ts drove an inline mirror server; now two tests run the
  real serve() on an ephemeral port (reload confinement, submit exit 0).
- setup-gbrain: rollback + voyage tests execute the template-extracted init
  blocks (3 sites) instead of drifted local bash copies.
- terminal-agent: internalHandler source greps replaced by a behavioral
  /internal/grant + /internal/revoke auth matrix (no/wrong/valid token).
- /health: server-security-surface and the server-auth / security-audit-r2 /
  sidebar-tabs source greps fold into one liveness-only check on the real
  body; the L4 sidecar wiring gets a behavioral /pty-inject-scan test.
- delete tautologies (browser-manager onDisconnect, memory-command #12),
  ios swiftui tap fixture self-check, memory-ingest put_page grep, detach
  source greps, sidebar-agent absence pins, dead-CSS pins + the dead CSS,
  security-audit-r2 Task 1 + the test-only meta-commands re-export,
  duplicate generated-SKILL.md checks.
- make-pdf coverage-gaps cases move into their owner test files.

* test: delete tests of dead eval code (A)

- A1: the retired Eng lexical oracle (evaluateEngSeedCoverage,
  isEngSeedDecisionAUQ), the completion-handoff detector and the retained
  corpus had no paid caller since v1.87.6; delete their 26 replay files,
  ~2.6k helper LOC and fixtures, and the dead blocks in 8 mixed files
  (live hasNativePlanTerminal / batching assertions stay).
- A2: dead viewport approvers in autoplan-artifact-permission and their 11
  replay files + fixtures; recorder/launcher cases stay.
- A3: never-wired oracles and seeders (autoplan-phase-order,
  eng-finding-fixture, ceo-paired-fixture, design-ui-scope,
  plan-skill-completion, pty-current-screen, required-reads,
  transcript-section-logger); plan-seed-submission now decodes through the
  production createPtyScreen; section manifests name their actual guard.
- A4: zero-reference helper exports, plus execGit and invokeAndObserve
  found by the reachability pass.
- 52 fixtures orphaned by the deletions; touchfile and selection-table
  entries for every deleted path.

* test: clean up the paid eval lane (B1-B4, B6, B7)

- B1: delete paid files that assert nothing or cannot pass meaningfully:
  skill-llm-eval-spec and skill-e2e-spec-execute (test.todo), gemini-e2e
  (+ gemini-session-runner; no gemini CLI in CI), ship-idempotency (red
  since v1.63), the two opus-4-7 *-sonnet overlay wrappers, conductor-prose
  (+ its source-evaluation replay), codex-e2e-plan-format; drop their keys,
  scripts and census rows.
- B2: skill-llm-eval grades browse/sections/command-list.md with one union
  judge that also carries the baseline score pin; regression-vs-baseline
  deleted (paid run: pass, c4/c4/a4).
- B3: memory-pipeline, ios-qa, ios-qa-swift-build and plan-tune-cathedral
  make no model calls; renamed out of the paid glob so they run on every
  PR. Swift builds need GSTACK_TEST_SWIFT=1; device stub deleted.
- B4: codex-e2e*, outside-voice, aside and ios-device cannot run in the CI
  image; excluded from the weekly lane with a tracked re-entry condition.
- B6: fold opus-47's negative routing controls into skill-routing-e2e
  journey-negatives (paid run: 3/3 unrouted) and delete the file.
- B7: delete the never-green brain-privacy-gate eval; a free
  gstack-skill-start test now proves consent precedes artifacts egress.

* test: retire the finding-count cluster and trim its helpers (C)

- C0/C1: the five never-green evals (skill-e2e-autoplan-chain and
  skill-e2e-plan-{ceo,eng,design,devex}-finding-count) failed on harness and
  budget, never on skill behavior; delete them, their touchfile/tier ids,
  AUTOPLAN_CHAIN_BUDGET and the dedicated eighth periodic slice (--slices 7).
- C2: delete the helper groups whose only paid consumers were those files
  (11 modules), trim claude-pty-runner and eng-seeded-coverage to the paid
  closure, and delete the free replay tests whose assertions exercised only
  that dead code (89 files, 135 orphaned fixtures). Blocks that used dead code
  only as input for a live subject keep their assertions: the multiSelect
  default moved to plan-review-decisions, runner PTY tests use inline caller
  policies, and the timer-safe budget checks moved to eng-finding-retry-budget.
- The eight production-touching files stay except ceo-current-decision-record
  (its template read only feeds the retired counter).
- CARVE_GUARDS.autoplan is behavioral 'none'; TODOS records the lost chain
  and per-finding cadence coverage with their re-entry tests.

* test: fold per-incident replay series into their detector owners (D)

Twelve detector families move into one owner test each: 73 incident files
become describe blocks in ceo-section-loading-fixture (stale-fill race),
model-overlays, coverage-audit-evidence, autoplan-phase-observer,
native-auto-decide, outside-voice-evidence, eng-first-review,
plan-count-completion, plan-count-file-permission, ceo-mode-option,
plan-scope-selection and plan-count-prerequisite. Each block keeps its original
code and fixture, so every case still runs; only tests asserting the incident
file's own touchfile registration are dropped (41). Touchfile lists that named
an incident now name its owner.

* test: start the plan-count history PTY on its readiness marker (H)

The fake CLI prints a startup marker and the runner waits for it instead of the
fixed 8 s startup sleep (8.6 s -> 0.9 s locally). eng-semantic-terminal's
sleeping registration cases went with C; plan-count-timeout keeps the fixed wait
because it asserts deadline behavior.

* test: derive paid touchfiles from each eval's static closure (E)

touchfiles.test.ts now checks, per key, that the paid file's static
test/helpers and test/fixtures closure (plus fixture paths it names in string
literals) is covered, and names the file, path, chain and key to fix when it is
not. Free *.test.ts files are no longer touchfiles, so editing a free replay
test stops selecting paid evals: 950 entries removed, 653 real closure paths
added. The hand-copied inventories go: periodic-fixture-selection,
fake-impeccable-touchfiles and 45 per-file selection examples. Selection for
the sample edits (plan-eng-review template, claude-pty-runner,
plan-count-fixture, gstack-config) loses no case under either profile.
CONTRIBUTING documents the rule and its lower bound.

* test: skip hollow tier shards and census judges in the paid planner (B5)

A paid file is now skipped for a tier lane only when every E2E id it registers
is known statically and none has that tier; ids come from the touchfile
registrations and literal testName/*IfSelected arguments, so a comment or
skill path that quotes another id cannot unschedule it, and computed names
keep today's scheduling. --list and the manifest show each skip as
"skipped: no E2E_TIERS id has tier <tier>". The weekly gate census drops the
LLM judges (--skip-judges); they still run in the periodic census and PR gate
lanes. Gate lane 52 -> 42 files, census 41; periodic 77 -> 69.

* test: run seven paid evals on the current default capture model (B8)

skill-e2e-{auq-matrix,plan-format,qa-bugs,retro,workflow} pinned
claude-opus-4-7 and skill-e2e-office-hours plus -brain-writeback pinned
claude-sonnet-4-6; none tests a historical model, so they now capture with
resolveEvalModel('capture'), and the free harness tests that execute these
registrations receive the same resolver. The paid re-pin run passed all of
them. skill-e2e-{design,office-hours-phase4,plan-prosons,plan} keep
claude-opus-4-7: six of their cases failed on the default model (three
timeouts, a missing report file, a format miss and a posture score of 3), so
per the plan's fallback they keep their pins with a TODOS entry. The pre-spend
estimate and drop threshold are in docs/test-audit-2026-09.md.

* test: guard the reduced suite against new test-of-test files

- test/test-of-test-ratchet.test.ts records the 228 free tests that import only
  test/ code and fails on a new one, naming the owner test to extend instead;
  a stale baseline entry fails with the remove instruction.
- test/helpers/resolve-repo-path.ts is the one specifier/literal resolver for
  the ratchet and the touchfile closure invariant, with its own unit tests.
- CONTRIBUTING "Test tiers" describes the paid-failure workflow (fix, then one
  row in the detector's owner test) and the ratchet; TEST_PORTFOLIO gains the
  detector -> owner-test table and no longer claims an Autoplan chain eval.
- TODOS: automatic exclusion policy for chronically red periodic files (P3),
  the deferred native-completion table collapse, the unused CEO payment
  seeder; the PTY readiness item is narrowed to the paid runner.
- docs/test-audit-2026-09.md collects the triage, security mapping, inventories,
  selection proof, behavior-commit decisions and retained false positives.

* v1.91.8.0 test: smaller suite, derived paid selection, retired never-green evals

Release metadata for the test-reduction branch: VERSION 1.91.8.0 (1.91.7.0 is
claimed by #2983), CHANGELOG with the measured before/after table and a
contributor section, durations re-recorded on Ubicloud standard-16 (857 files,
0 failures), the agents digest, CONTRIBUTING's after-measurement row, the B8
fallback TODOS entry, and the after metrics, kept-vs-plan notes, B8 run and
census estimate in docs/test-audit-2026-09.md.

* fix(ubicloud): skip retrieval globs that match nothing instead of reporting a failed pull

* test: pin DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER in hermetic env and capture corrupt-seed warning

Both EVALS_HERMETIC branches of buildHermeticEnv now carry
DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1 (the allowlist scrubbed the workflow's copy, so every
PTY screen showed the updater's npm-prefix failure). Per-test overrides
still win. The corrupt durations-seed test now captures its expected
warning and restores the console spy.

* style(cso): format lib/cso TypeScript with pinned Prettier

Mechanical reformat only. Minified transpile output is byte-identical for
21 of 22 files; witness.ts differs only in three regex flag orders
(/mi -> /im), which JavaScript canonicalizes. Source-text assertions over
lib/cso now compare whitespace-insensitively with the same tokens.

* fix(cso): import join for compiled-launcher assertion witnesses

Compiled installs always take the non-Bun branch, which called an unimported
join and threw before any runtime-tested assertion could be witnessed. The
child command selection is now a pure, platform-aware function; a missing
sibling launcher fails with its expected path.

* fix(browse): make connect --supervise actually respawn a crashed server

The supervisor respawned with a block-scoped env that no longer existed, so
every attempt threw and the loop gave up after five tries. The headed env is
now one pure helper used by connect and respawn, the loop is an injectable
runHeadedSupervisor with behavioral tests, failures name the daemon log and
relaunch command, and connect's usage advertises --supervise.

* test: one finite PR world for the shared-libs fixture; name dual-voice probe evidence

The shared-libs shim served 2 PRs for pulls?state=all and endless full pages
for state=open. gh pr list, pulls?state=open|all|closed (per_page/page,
short last page, direction) and search/issues now page one deterministic
table: PR 7, 600 older open PRs, PR 42 and 3 closed PRs, so five 100-item
open-metadata pages still leave older open PRs unchecked. The Contents API
lists pinned directories (the captured attempt got 404 for contents/ and
contents/src while files resolved, then fell back to a raw host), unknown
endpoints return 404 instead of repo metadata, and the read-only detector
is unchanged. Free tests cover view agreement, the budget bound, gh/curl
agreement and the empty world.

Dual-voice outside-voice failures now report probeToolUseId, probeMode and
the canonical-match result with the reason the probe output was rejected.

* feat: require a zero-error product typecheck and a test type-debt ratchet

Adds tsconfig.json (strict) over product code, fixes its remaining 90
diagnostics (type-only, interface corrections, and explicit narrowing),
and adds a typecheck job to the required free-tests aggregate running
bun run typecheck, the test-code ratchet (identity -> count baseline, fails
on new, repeated, or unlocked fixed diagnostics), and the lib/cso format
check. Reuses fixes from #2447 where they still applied.

* test: follow the headed env helper and the typecheck gate in source-shape checks

* fix(test): pin the package.json change kind in shared-input selection tests

computePaidCaseSelection read the version-only exemption from git even when
changed files were injected, so the shared-input test failed on main and on
version-only branches. The exemption is now an optional input; the test pins
a real package.json change and covers the version-only case.

* test: judge plan-count completion on structured evidence, not wording

Replaying run 36385945043's two Design attempts showed the existing routes
rejected correct endings: attempt 1 at the typed-completion path field
('- Reviewed plan written to …' is not a 'Plan written to' line), attempt 2
at the leading-fence veto (its final message opens with the dashboard).

nativePlanTerminalPreconditions is the structural prefix of
hasNativePlanTerminal (behavior unchanged). structuredPlanCompletion adds,
inside the existing nativeSummary branch: a complete report (Design
binding for Design), a completed review-log row for the expected skill
appended during this attempt under the child's GSTACK_HOME/project slug
(resolved with bin/gstack-slug) and stamped with the fixture commit, timed
between the report/last answer (second resolution) and the final native
message, a final message with stop_reason end_turn (now carried on public
transcript messages), and no visible question or permission prompt.

Timeout summaries add idleFor and lastTerminalCandidate. Terminal and throw
captures copy the plan file and review-log rows into the artifact
directory; copies are best-effort and recorded in evidence-copy.json.
Free regressions: both captured Design endings (trimmed fixture with
provenance; report, row and end_turn reconstructed and labelled), the
negative controls, and real-PTY completion/timeout runs through the real
review logger.

* test: structural Design count boundary; TODO proposals are not findings

Replaying run 36385945043 through the Design count predicates: routing,
focus and learnings setup was not recognized as setup, Issue 1 was counted
pre-review in both attempts (the boundary fired on it), and attempt 2
counted the Font TODO proposal as a finding (review=4 and review=5 for five
issues). The paid caller now starts review at the first answered native
decision that is not setup (recognized packet, or setup header/question ID),
a completion handoff, artifact rendering or a TODO proposal (the review's
Add to TODOS.md / Skip / Build it now menu). TODO proposals are recorded as
administrative extra decisions. The replay asserts each counted call: both
attempts review=5 (Issues 1-5). isDesignCountFirstReview and its controls
are unchanged.

* test: CEO classifier throws name the question and matched predicates

Replaying run 36385945043's FAN-1 and ERR-1 throws (ledger rows
reconstructed from rendered diffs) through ceoPaymentFinding: the email
obligation's row, subject, option and proposal predicates pass and the
ELI10 explanation-defect predicate fails first ('lets that exception fly
out', 'the error bubbles up').

Binding the defect to the named ledger row instead (the planned fix) was
tried and reverted: scoped to the email seed it flips 30+ existing cf74
still-rejects replays, which require a vocabulary-free, ledger-bound email
question to earn credit only through a complete saved comparison. With
FAN-1's rendered currentDecision payload reconstructed, the recorded-
decision path counts it, so the real saved plan (not uploaded) must have
differed; failure artifacts now retain it.

The classifier stays fail-closed and unchanged. Its throw now prints the
header, the first 200 question characters and each obligation's predicate
results. Free regressions with provenance and negative controls: an
unrelated question, an email question whose row says it is already
rescued, and a ledger ID whose row belongs to another seed.

* chore: regenerate the test type-debt baseline on top of #2994

* fix(typecheck): strip the checkout root from ratchet diagnostic identities

* fix(test): recognize ledger row-ID split candidates so collection stops at the last ACK

Run 36385945043's split-overflow case asked all five candidate decisions by
8m55s, but the live candidate check required the question to open with
"E1:" and every option to be a known disposition. The skill cited ledger
row IDs ("D2.1 — R-E1: …") and offered "Hold, discuss first", so no
candidate was recognized and the attempt ran the whole review (1302s).

Identity now comes from the native header; the question must open with that
candidate's ledger reference, name only that candidate, and offer exactly one
include, defer and cut disposition. The selected answer must still be one of
those three. The semantic evaluator and every existing negative control are
unchanged; a trimmed capture from the run adds the positive case and four
row-ID negative controls.

* fix(test): stop the eng batching eval once its floor is proven

The case's only verdict is reviewCount >= FLOOR (3). Run 36385945043 had
three distinct acknowledged review decisions at 6m41s but kept answering
until the ceiling (7) at 12m13s. The registration now passes the runner's
existing isCollectionComplete stop once FLOOR non-setup, non-administrative
review decisions are acknowledged; the floor check, ceiling, budget and
counter are unchanged. A child-process registration test proves the stop
predicate and that below-floor and timeout outcomes still fail.

* test: add the non-blocking 'marathon' E2E tier

Full start-to-finish flows move out of the blocking lanes. E2E_TIERS and
E2ETier gain 'marathon'; describeE2ETier('marathon') is enabled only when
EVALS_TIER=marathon, so the gate/PR and periodic lanes (and the gate census)
never run those cases. The PR profile accepts marathon ids as scheduled
elsewhere and defers them with their own reason, even on full fallback.

* test: move the full office-hours workflow to marathon; add a periodic design-draft checkpoint

The full startup workflow runs 1–3 real spec-review rounds (~280s each) and
hit its 1200s capture in run 36385945043 at finalize. Review depth is the
product's loop, so the case cannot fit a blocking lane without cutting
rounds. It is now marathon tier with every assertion unchanged.

skill-e2e-office-hours-design-draft.test.ts (periodic) runs the same fixed
interview only through the Write that creates the design (269s in that run)
and applies the full validator's design-draft checks, the required section
reads and the launch/foreign-skill-read guards. validateOfficeHoursDesignDraft
is extracted from validateOfficeHoursCompletion, which still applies it.

Selection: office-hours-design-draft is registered periodic; the marathon-only
file is already excluded from the gate and periodic plans by the B5 planner
rule. Tier-alignment regexes and the valid-tier check accept 'marathon'.
A type-only cast in plan-scope-selection.test.ts removes a diagnostic whose
union print order made the ratchet identity unstable; baseline tightened.

* test: supply the split-overflow fixture's HOLD SCOPE mode as a prerequisite

The split actor always answered 0E's mode question with HOLD SCOPE. The
skill skips that question on an explicit choice, so the fixture now states
it and the attempt starts at the five candidate decisions (about 1.5 min
earlier in run 36385945043). Candidates, actor policy, floor and semantic
evaluation are unchanged; the fixture test pins the supplied choice.

* test: start the eng batching eval with its setup prerequisites supplied

Routing setup and cross-project learnings (D1/D2 in run 36385945043) are
never counted and are not what the case measures. The registration now uses
the runner's existing preconfiguredReviewActor so the attempt starts at the
review; engSetupAUQ still vetoes any late setup question. The registration
test pins the option.

* test: count the design-draft paid file and defer marathon ids in PR selection pins

The discovered paid-file census grows by one (skill-e2e-office-hours-design-draft).
Full-fallback PR selection defers every non-gate id; the shared-input pins now
expect periodic and marathon ids there.

* fix(review): resolve the judged revalidation, setup-authority, plan-gate and findings-record ambiguities

The census review workflow judge scored clarity/actionability 3 on both
attempts: smoke-clock limits appeared to forbid post-repair revalidation,
the caller deadline was undefined, 'ask for setup' conflicted with the
report-only browser rule, fallback-sourced HIGH discrepancies had no gate
decision, and the Step 5.8 record omitted adversarial findings.

* fix(office-hours): load the builder section for every builder-mode reply

Both census builder-wildness attempts answered a direct request for
adjacent unlocks without reading phase-2b-builder-brainstorm.md, whose
trigger read as applying only to the generative questions.

* fix(sync-gbrain): define Step 4 helper args and one atomic write path

Both census read-ready attempts spent turns reading the helper source to
resolve <user-args>, inspecting fixture internals kept inside the repo,
and reconciling 'Read + Edit' with the tmp+mv atomic write, then hit
max turns before the verdict.

* refactor(evals): share the import-closure walker and add the E2E shard reuse identity

sourceDependencyClosure moves from the workflow-judge adapter into
scripts/eval-input-cache.ts unchanged, so judge keys stay byte-identical.
scripts/e2e-shard-reuse.ts builds the consumed-input identity of one PR-lane
E2E shard (test import closure, every registered case's touchfiles, globals,
runner/workflow/setup actions, child env pins, CI image, Claude CLI) and fails
closed on anything unknown. Marathon joins the always-fresh purposes.

* feat(evals): ~12-minute blocking paid lanes and a non-blocking marathon lane

- Planner budget mode (--slice-budget S --jobs J): recorded per-tier wall
  times pack into as many ~9-minute executors as the work needs; the plan
  records per-slice estimates and the CI job timeout (supervised worst case
  + 20 min). evals.yml and evals-periodic.yml derive matrix size and
  timeout-minutes from it; max-parallel covers every slice at once.
- Case shards: plan/design/review-army/shared-libs(-paths) run one registered
  case per process (<file>#<case id>, exact name pattern, exactly one case).
- Retry rule: a timed-out attempt is a verdict. Only files whose every case
  budget is CAPTURE tier or shorter keep one retry; walls shrink to match.
- Marathon tier: positive selection, excluded from gate/periodic planners,
  run by the new evals-marathon.yml (weekly + dispatch, fresh, own report).
- PR-lane E2E reuse of verified first-attempt passes on identical inputs;
  the report rejects reuse outside the fast PR profile.
- Duration seed from census run 36385945043, per tier and per case shard.

* docs: blocking lane budget, marathon lane, retry policy and E2E reuse

* chore(typecheck): lock in two fixed test diagnostics

* fix(ci): drop a duplicated env/jobs block in evals-marathon.yml

* test(ship-docsync): shard the doc-sync lifecycle by case and drop the duplicate dispatch-only case

ship-docsync ran the same fixture and prompt as ship-docsync-completion and
asserted a subset of it. The file now runs one case per process, so its lane
wall is its longest case instead of half the sum of thirteen.

* fix(evals): plan CI-unrunnable cases as excluded entries, not empty case shards

design-review-fix drives the Aside browser and registers test.skip on Linux
runners, so its case shard executed zero cases and failed the exact-one-case
check in proof census 36597762183 (eval-slices 6). CASE_CI_EXCLUDE (reason +
tracking, beside PERIODIC_CI_EXCLUDE) now turns such cases into excluded
manifest entries that --list and the manifest surface; every planned case
shard still must execute exactly its case.

* docs(todos): list the case-level Aside exclusion with the CI-unrunnable evals

* fix(plan-ceo-review): restore experience-first expansion framing, require the mode handoff, skip pacing menus

Census 36597762183: both mode-routing runs logged provenance and moved on
without the mandated handoff chat; the EXPANSION run asked an unauthorized
batch/narrow pacing menu instead of the first per-addition question; the
expansion-energy proposals led with the spec because v1.87.6.0 dropped
'lead with the felt experience'. The HOLD review detector also rejected a
decision whose grounding line named no plan file although the owned source
Read binds it.

* test(outside-plan-disabled): bind quoted prior-record values by their sentence, not phrase order

The parent obeyed the off switch and twice named the seeded completed
record as pre-existing, once with the quotation after its owner and once
with slash separators; the order-specific stripper counted both as current
completion. Timestamp, location, current-claim and value-match controls
still reject.

* test(outside-plan-disabled): compare named record timestamps as instants; negated authorship is not a current claim

The repair rerun named the seeded record by its ISO second
(2026-09-29T16:58:52Z vs .727Z) and said 'I did not write'; both were
misread as a foreign timestamp and a current write.

* test(ceo-section-loading): recognize an arrow-ordered stale-fill execution by event roles

The census review traced the seeded race as 'R1 miss -> R1 store read (v1)
-> W commit v2 -> W cache.delete -> W fulfills -> R1 cache.set(v1) -> R2
(begun after W) hits v1', but the in-flight gate only accepted race
vocabulary or fixed sentence shapes. Order, actor, version and dismissal
mutations still fail.

* test(design-floor): answer the seed-declared all-seven 0D focus menu while it is pending

The actor declares 'Design: review all seven dimensions', but its picker
reused designReviewSetupAUQ, which only matches already-answered calls
(and a narrower header/label set), so the pending D1 focus menu was never
answered and the case waited out its 609 s deadline. The skill's Step 0D
requires asking; the fixture now answers it.

* test(ceo-mode-routing): accept the skill-mandated Note form and Recommendation reason as HOLD posture

HOLD Defer/Keep briefs must use 'Note: options differ in kind' (preamble),
but the answered-HOLD path demanded a Completeness score, rejected a
one-line Net with a semicolon, and read posture only from ELI10. The rerun's
brief applied HOLD SCOPE in its Recommendation reason. Revert the
ineffective 'always'/'handoff chat' wording: two runs still skipped the
mode handoff.

* test(qa-bugs): keep claude-opus-4-7 after qa-b6-static stalled on the default model

qa-b6-static timed out on claude-fable-5-1 in census 36597762183 and in one
of two targeted reruns. Both times the stream stopped mid-message with no
pending tool, right after the model found the disabled submit button, and
stayed silent until the 300 s deadline. Per the B8 fallback, re-pin with a
TODOS entry; budgets and retries are unchanged. A rerun on opus-4-7 passed
(125 s, 5/5 detected).

* test(evals): add E2E_KINDS, BEHAVIOR_WHY, EVAL_POLICY and CASE_QUARANTINE skeletons

Every E2E_TIERS and LLM_JUDGE_TOUCHFILES key starts as 'rule'; BEHAVIOR_WHY
and CASE_QUARANTINE start empty. EVAL_POLICY pre-registers the approved
panel (3, majority 2), quarantine entry 0.95/10 and exit 0.97/10, 10% cap,
8-weekly-run expiry, Fisher drift alarm and one INFRA re-dispatch.

* test(evals): add trial records, panelVerdict, expectContract and trial-outcomes JSONL

EvalTestEntry gains case_id, kind, trial, panel, failure_class and
policy_version, stamped from the runner's TRIAL_ENV on isolated trial
shards. panelVerdict() is the single verdict function (INCOMPLETE on
missing or duplicate trials, contract veto at any count, quarantine
hard-break rule, INFRA/INCOMPLETE machine classification). expectContract()
records failure_class 'contract' on the collector entry and a sidecar
before throwing. trial-outcomes JSONL has a fail-closed writer and a
data-only reader.

* test(evals): pin the fail-closed rule-shard gate through the real --report path

Synthetic slice artifacts for rule fail, timeout, missing slice, unreported
entry, hollow, never-started, collector failure and wrong-slice reports all
exit red before the panel-verdict gate change lands.

* test(evals): retire every paid automatic retry

Paid evals never retry (approved 2026-09-29): delete SHORT_CASE_RETRY_FILES
and retriesWithinCaseCap, drop the retry fields from the registered wall rows
(walls now cover one run plus reserve), make retriesForFiles return 0, pass
--retry 0 explicitly, and drop --retry 1 from the package.json paid scripts.
Add the eval:pass-rates alias. Tests that pinned the old retry allowance are
updated as a policy change; review-finalization-budget now proves late-result
recording under the production zero-retry arguments.

* test(llm-judge): sample every judge as a pre-registered 3-sample panel

Each of the 24 skill-llm-eval judges now draws EVAL_POLICY.judge.samples
independent samples of the same prompt concurrently inside the unchanged
JUDGE_MS budget. Numeric dimensions gate on the per-dimension panel mean
against the unchanged threshold; booleans (would_browse, consistent) on a
strict majority. An erroring sample fails the whole panel and is never
resampled; a refusal is an unscored panel only when every sample refused.
callJudge's 429 backoff stays: it is transport before any model output.

The workflow-judge cache stores and validates only complete panels, and its
identity now records the panel and zero file retries. Harness tests that
pinned one provider call per case now pin the panel size.

* test(evals): classify every live case and re-select a case when its kind changes

E2E_KINDS: rule by default (191 E2E ids), 22 behavior cases whose verdict is
a live model choice with an acceptable sub-100% per-trial rate, each with a
BEHAVIOR_WHY tolerance, and 25 judge entries (the 24 workflow judges plus the
fixed-fixture llm-judge-recommendation rubric check). Contract-shaped cases
(ask-before-decide, plan-mode no-writes, mandated steps, secrets, the batching
floor) stay rule. Behavior requires a known literal registration and an exact
Bun test name so the case runs as its own trial shard.

Map-diff selection now diffs E2E_KINDS and BEHAVIOR_WHY per key, and a base
revision without them selects every key, so a kind flip runs the panel it
introduces. test/eval-kinds.test.ts enforces coverage, tolerances,
isolatability and the reviewed counts, printing the literal to add.

* feat(evals): per-case pass rates with Wilson intervals, identity series and quarantine policy

scripts/eval-flake-rank.ts becomes eval:pass-rates (eval:flake-rank stays an
alias, and the legacy aggregate stays exported). It reads eval-store's
trial-outcomes JSONL from the last N completed evals-periodic runs on this
branch and main (gh, downloading only the trial-outcomes artifact, cached and
size-capped, parsed as data), plus local eval dirs, and prints per-case
per-trial pass rates with 95% Wilson intervals.

A series is a case's own touchfiles minus GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES
(caseSeriesIdentities, for the report job to stamp), per model, CLI version
and policy version. Labels: INCONCLUSIVE, BROKEN, FLAKY, FAILING, PASSING.
--backfill imports legacy slice artifacts as pre-policy trials (first
attempt only, attributed by registry id, never guessed) for display only.

--gate fails with ACTION REQUIRED on post-policy evidence only: drift below
the quarantine entry rule, a rule case behaving like behavior, a one-sided
Fisher drop against the previous identity (Holm-controlled), and quarantine
entries that met their exit rule, expired after 8 weekly runs, broke the
10% tier cap or are invalid. CASE_QUARANTINE entries now carry a
failureClass (detector, harness or model-latency); a product defect has no
class and is never quarantined. The policy test pins EVAL_POLICY's approved
constants.

* feat(eval-pass-rates): attribute legacy records by the exact slug of their display name

* ci(image): pin Claude Code 2.1.284 so the eval model is recognized

2.1.251 logs [claude-code:unrecognized_model] for claude-fable-5-1, the
eval capture/judge default. 2.1.284 does not. The gate PTY smoke subset
(plan-ceo/plan-devex plan-mode, plan-mode-no-op) parses on the new TUI;
plan-design-review-plan-mode passed at 293 s on 2.1.284 and timed out at
300 s on 2.1.251 on the same tree.

* test(eng-batching): grade the floor once the review report is complete

A completed GSTACK REVIEW REPORT ends the review, so the review-question
count is final there. Run 36606688266 wrote its report at 1,248 s and
closed the session at 1,318 s; the case now stops collection and applies
the unchanged floor at the report instead of waiting out the session.
No budget changes.

* test(eng-batching): bind unsourced native briefs through the report's target

Run 36606688266 asked ten separate native review questions (D1-D9 bound
to ledger records R1-R9) and failed reviewCount=0 < FLOOR=3: its briefs
named the plan by title instead of citing PLAN.md, its report declared
'Review target (fixed): PLAN.md' under '# Engineering review: <plan>', and
it kept an unfenced copy of the plan's own H1. The named-source route now
accepts those spellings and non-inline ledger briefs. The same replay
rejects a foreign, mixed, duplicate or missing target, another plan's
title or copied H1, a brief naming another plan or file, a mismatched
saved brief, and re-asks. The run-36597762183 capture still counts 3.

* fix(plan-design-review): treat a designer with no API key as unavailable

Both proof runs (36597762183, 36606688266) printed DESIGN_READY, hit
'No OpenAI API key found' on the first $D variants call, then hand-built
HTML/CSS wireframes, screenshots and a comparison board for ~195-245 s
before the first review question; the second run timed out at 600 s.
A failed first generation now takes the existing text-only path, and the
skill forbids substituting hand-built mockups.

* fix(deslop-shared-libs): read related sources together within the turn limit

Run 36606688266's opportunity audit read sixteen sources one per turn and
stopped at error_max_turns; the passing run 36597762183 read the same
files in three batched commands. The skill now says turns are bounded and
asks for parallel reads or one read-only command per step.

* test(ceo-mode-routing): submit a mode review that scrolled past the viewport

Run 36606688266 bundled routing, learnings and the mode choice into one
native call. Its review panel was taller than the terminal, so the tab
bar scrolled off, ceoModeSubmissionInput returned null for 240 s and HOLD
SCOPE was never submitted ('no posture match'). With no bar on screen the
viewport must still end at the focused Submit prompt, and the accumulated
screen text supplies the one complete panel, authenticated exactly as
before. Replay controls reject another mode, an unoffered answer, an
altered question, a quoted panel, trailing output, a moved cursor and an
answered or changed call.

* docs(evals): document the pre-registered verdict policy, quarantine, pass-rate history and arithmetic

AGENTS.md replaces the retry rule with the approved policy text (no retries;
kind fixes trials; no added trials, samples or dispatches after a result;
quarantine by CASE_QUARANTINE only; one INFRA/INCOMPLETE re-dispatch) and
notes that a pre-registered fixed panel is not rejudging. CONTRIBUTING gains
the kind rules, the judge panel, eval:pass-rates and an 'Add a paid eval'
checklist. TESTING_INTERNALS describes verdicts, quarantine, history and the
arithmetic, including the rule term: 1 trial vs 2-of-3 red rates at
p = 0.99/0.95/0.90/0.70/0.30 and lane all-green probabilities for the
current 191 rule / 22 behavior / 25 judge registry.

* feat(evals): trial planner, slice exit split and panel-verdict report

Planner: behavior and quarantined cases become panels of isolated trial
shards (<file>#<id>~t<N>) bound by EVALS_SELECTION_JSON=[id] and the exact
test name; the file shard excludes them by name. Trials of one case never
share a slice, result slugs are unique, panels are validated whole, unknown
registrations throw, and the planner prints a capacity preflight.

Executor: each trial shard gets its TRIAL_ENV identity and a trial record
(outcome, failure class, cause, cost); every shard writes a JUnit report.
The slice exit now means execution completeness: a failed rule shard or a
trial without a record reds the runner, a failed trial does not.

Report: panelVerdict() decides every panel of the first run attempt (later
attempts are reported, never replacing it); rule shards keep the unchanged
fail-closed checks; collector records all count (no last-attempt wins);
census runs enforce the quarantine cap and expiry. It writes
collector-outcomes v2, trial-outcomes.jsonl (trials plus JUnit rule/judge
cases), report-summary.md, and one headline + failure block with rerun
commands, and flags INFRA/INCOMPLETE-only reds for the one re-dispatch.

The fail-open suite gains the panel cases: behavior 1/3 red, 2/3 green
with its failed trial shown, missing trial INCOMPLETE, contract at 2/3 red,
quarantined 1/3 green, 0/3 and contract red, missing slice red, and a later
attempt never replacing the first.

* chore(evals): refresh paid duration seeds from proof runs 36597762183 and 36606688266

Both tiers, merged in run order (the later run wins). Notable: split-overflow
1332s -> 504s, section-loading 604s -> 342s, mode-routing 575s -> 444s;
multi-finding-batching 734s -> 1318s (its red path in run 36606688266).

* feat(evals): stamp trial series identities and fit panels to the live registry

- scripts/eval-trial-series.ts stamps series_identity (eval-flake-rank's
  caseSeriesIdentities) on a report's trial-outcomes JSONL as its own step,
  keeping the history tool out of the paid runner's closure;
  TrialOutcomeRecord gains the optional series_identity field.
- Slice-count plans let a registered trial spill into an ordinary lane when
  its siblings hold every long lane, so panels never share a runner.
- Re-audited test-selection.ts (Stream B added the E2E_KINDS/BEHAVIOR_WHY
  map-diff; no new module loading) and repinned its hash.
- Detach and release floors now count trial shards (66 periodic trials in
  22 panels): periodic floor 33,821s, still under eval:bg:periodic's 67,380s.
- Coordination fixtures supply the executor's trial records.

* ci(evals): attempt-scoped artifacts, verdict-v2 PR comment, weekly pass-rate gate and one INFRA re-dispatch

- Slice, census and marathon artifacts carry -a<run_attempt>; reports
  download them per artifact (no merge), so records never overwrite and a
  re-run never replaces the first attempt's verdict.
- Planners pass --max-parallel for the capacity preflight (24/16 unchanged:
  the refreshed periodic plan needs 24 slices, the gate census 12).
- PR comment: jq-only job reads collector-outcomes v2 (headline, sanitized
  failure block); the group_by(.name)|last recomputation is gone.
- Reports stamp series identities, upload trial-outcomes-* for history, and
  shard logs upload always (a failed trial no longer reds its runner).
- Weekly report: headline + failure block of both lanes in the issue body,
  the eval:pass-rates --gate step (fails closed without history), close the
  issue on a green run, and UC-E1: when every red is machine-classified
  INFRA/INCOMPLETE, one re-dispatch as a new run in its own concurrency
  group (redispatch_of), both runs reported.

* feat(evals): planner-side whole-panel reuse and negative receipts

The planner job restores this PR's receipt store once and ships a single
filtered set with the plan: a pass or panel receipt with a same-or-newer
FAIL for its input identity is dropped, and a panel receipt ships only as
a whole PASS panel (re-verified with panelVerdict) from one run. Executors
read only that set (no per-slice cache restore or save), so every trial of
a panel sees the same receipts; a trial reuses its own record from the
panel receipt, keeping a split PASS's failed trial.

Trial identities drop the trial index (run-scoped) and bind the panel
policy. Executed shards carry their input identity; the report turns a
whole fresh PASS panel into a panel receipt and a FAIL panel or failed rule
shard into a negative receipt, and marks a panel that mixes reused and
fresh trials INCOMPLETE. The report job merges plan, slice and report
receipts (newest per file) and saves one store per run.

Also fixes two TS2352 casts in browse/test/dia-macos-qualification.test.ts
whose diagnostic text drifted with program order (baseline locked, fix only).

* feat(evals): --case/--trials local diagnosis and panels in local sharded runs

bun run scripts/test-paid-shards.ts --case <id> [--trials N] runs N
independent trials of one case through the CI panel runner (trial shards,
TRIAL_ENV identity, name-pattern isolation) and prints its panelVerdict();
N defaults to the case's policy panel and CI never reads it. The local
sharded path (test:gate:sharded, test:periodic:sharded) now plans the same
trial shards and exclusions as CI and exits on execution completeness plus
panel verdicts.

* test(pty): grant an owned Create pane whose title row is cropped

The targeted batching rerun on Claude Code 2.1.284 left its first report
Write unanswered for 1,372 s and timed out: the viewport began at the
pane's relative file row and rule, with the 'Create file' title cropped
above, so the preview parser rejected the file row as foreign. That row
must now resolve to the owned path and is skipped before the unchanged
line-by-line preview match. Replay controls reject another file, another
directory and an edited preview row.

* fix(evals): tsx-safe generics in eval-flake-rank, legacy artifact names, no-retry wall docs

* test(evals): record the read-only and detector-row invariants as contracts

shared-libs-opportunity-judgment and review-design-lite are behavior
cases: their recommendation and checklist judgments may vary, but the
read-only invariant (commands, provider requests, fixture bytes, hooks,
state) and the deterministic fake-engine detector rows are contracts.
Both now go through expectContract, so any failure vetoes the panel.

* test(judges): sample the recommendation rubric as a panel; never re-ask armJudge

llm-judge-recommendation is a judge case: each fixture now draws a
3-sample judgePanel, gates reason_substance on the panel mean and the
present/commits/has_because checks on a 2-of-3 majority, thresholds
unchanged. armJudge no longer re-asks on a malformed verdict; it is a
failed sample, as the judge policy requires.

* test(evals): record a pre-turn API or CLI failure as infra

recordE2E sets failure_class 'infra' on a failed session whose runner
reports error_api, timeout_startup, error_output_stream or a non-zero CLI
exit with zero turns and no assistant event. A model refusal, a timeout
after model work, max turns, or an explicit caller pass/class keeps its
ordinary classification.

* test: pin every-record outcome counts and the twelve doc-sync callbacks

* test(eng-batching): read the report target as a field, not a spelling

The next targeted rerun (Claude Code 2.1.284) again asked eleven separate
native questions and again counted zero: its briefs named no plan and its
report declared '- **Review target (fixed):** `/abs/PLAN.md`' under
'# Eng Review — PLAN.md: <plan>'. An unsourced brief now inherits the one
current target field that names a PLAN.md file, whatever its list or
emphasis markup; its ledger record still supplies the cited finding and
must reproduce the brief exactly. A brief that names its plan must still
match the report title. Replays of all three captures count 9, 9 and 3;
controls reject a foreign, duplicate or missing target and an archived
title.

* fix(evals): --case list mode and name precheck; case-shard qa-callers; refresh batching and design-with-ui seeds

* chore(release): v1.91.9.0

* test: settle the post-response composer before seeding; give the TPA recorder adapter its infra helper

submitPlanSeed accepted a stale empty composer when the transcript recorded
end_turn before the CLI repainted (late-repaint-typed-current fails 5/5 on the
old helper, passes 5/5 now). The TPA recording fixture extracted recordE2E
without isPreTurnInfraFailure, so every failed case threw before recording.

* test(autoplan-dual-voice): unwrap Claude Code 2.1.284 subagent hand-back frames; accept read-only probe diagnostics; record before asserting

Census run 36626737820: the native CEO report arrived framed and indented, so
its INPUT line never matched, and the model's exact probe plus two variable
echoes was not canonical. A column-zero line inside a frame, command
substitution, backticks, redirects, assignments, CODEX_MODE echoes and output
line-count mismatches stay rejected. The failure now records before asserting.

* ci(image): keep Claude Code 2.1.251; test(ceo-mode-routing): keep HOLD's own deferrals in scope before assessing its rigor decision

2.1.284 enables per-turn effort for claude-fable-5-1: in gate census
36626737820, 66 of 84 sessions ran longer than on 2.1.251 (+20% session time,
+32% thinking tokens) and 11 cases timed out on unchanged budgets.

HOLD SCOPE's 0G step asks its own defer/keep menu; the actor answered it
Defer and the assessment then judged that scope question as the rigor
decision. The actor now answers that menu Keep and assesses the next one.

* test: attribute quoted prior-record field lists, state the judge reason bound in its schema, move split-overflow to marathon

Census 36629958451 reds:
- outside-plan-disabled-no-fallback: the model quoted the pre-existing record
  as a parenthesized field list with its exact timestamp; attribution now
  requires that exact timestamp and the record's own field values.
- plan-devex-peer-comparison-classification: the judge correctly returned
  missing but wrote a 1069-character reason, voiding the judgment; structured
  outputs cannot enforce maxLength, so the bound is stated on the field.
- plan-ceo-split-overflow ran 504-1188 s as one PTY flow and set the
  periodic lane's wall clock; it now runs weekly in the marathon lane.

* test: supply holdDeferKeepIndex to the CEO routing mocks and follow split-overflow into the marathon lane

The registered-callback fixtures mock ceo-mode-option and lacked the new
export; the split fixtures asserted the periodic tier; the registered-budget
check looked for split-overflow only in the periodic manifest.

* fix(qa): checkpoint receipts print the report link for their exploration file

qa-functional-webhook-report failed in two of three censuses because the
report linked .qa-evidence/NNN capture folders as "checkpoints" and never
linked exploration-NNN.json. The checkpoint receipt now prints
link: [checkpoint NNN](exploration-NNN.json), and the functional report
template says capture folders are not checkpoints.

* docs: final census numbers in the v1.91.9.0 entry; file the paid-eval follow-ups

* ci(evals): name the PR-comment loop's unused fields so shellcheck passes (SC2034)

* fix(plan-ceo-review): tighten expansion pacing wording to fit the skeleton cap after the main merge

The merged skeleton measured 80,166 bytes against its unchanged 80,150 cap.
Same instructions: ask separately for each addition, in turn, with no pacing
menu; lead each proposal with the felt experience, then shape, effort and impact.

* fix(eval-pass-rates): match trial-outcome files by basename so Windows backslash paths are read

* fix(evals): repair proof-run reds in design-consultation, document-release, design and QA fixtures

- design-consultation Phase 1 asks one brief that confirms context and decides
  research; the confirm-only first question scored substance 2.
- document-release defines ship-owned inputs, exact steps and the JSON result,
  and drops stale spawned-from-/ship text (judge actionability 3.67 -> 4/4/4).
- plan-design-with-ui accepts the Step 0D focus menu the same way the shared
  picker does ("focus on specific ones?").
- plan-design-review plan-mode saves in three Edits instead of one final Write.
- QA functional annotations ask for the full 40-character revision.
- Outside-disabled attribution judges quoted prior-record data by its exact
  timestamp or a dated, pre-existing-record sentence; four captured phrasings
  replay clean and current claims still fail.
- --case can select autoplan-dual-voice by its literal test name.

* test(design): revert the three-Edit plan-mode flow

A focused paid run still timed out at 300 s: the first three passes alone took
150 s of thinking. The case stays a named timeout red rather than cutting review depth.

* test: accept 'review mode = X' auto-decide declarations and parenthetical scope exclusions in the shared-libs actor

auto-decide-preserved: the product auto-decided HOLD SCOPE and said
"Decision: review mode = HOLD SCOPE"; the grammar knew only "is" and ":".
shared-libs-plan-callers: the recommended option said "(no hardening)" and the
actor read "hardening" as an expansion. Both replay the captured text, keep
negative controls, and passed focused paid runs.

* fix(review): pass Review Army checklists by path, run research alongside dispatch, always probe the design detector; state review-log invocation and statuses in the caller fixture

- review-army-perf-n-plus-one: the parent copied full checklists into agent
  prompts and ran web research before dispatch (290 s on a 12-line diff); 212 s now.
- review-design-lite: 5 of 6 captured trials reported the detector absent
  without probing; the probe is mandatory and its first line is reported, and
  the contract credits only fake-engine rule ids the checklist never names.
- review-exploratory-small-cli: the fixture never gave review-log's direct
  invocation or status vocabulary; the model ran it through bun and wrote
  status "blocked". The prompt states both and the validator rejects
  out-of-vocabulary review statuses.
Each case passed a focused paid run after repair.

* docs(changelog): proof-run product fixes

* fix(ship): always run the design-lite detector probe; test(shared-libs): credit a failed first file view and deferred-reuse Skip wording

- /ship design-lite: the probe is mandatory and any non-ready first line is
  stated, matching /review (5 of 6 captured /review trials had skipped it).
- shared-libs-pr-coverage: the first PR 42 page-1 read printed only a jq error,
  so the one refetch is a legitimate recovery, charged to the same budget.
- shared-libs-review-prior-coverage: the Skip option said a future review can
  "reuse it once snapshot coverage holds"; a conditional tail on the recorded
  decision is not product work. Captured-text regressions and negative controls.

* fix(ship,qa,document-release): repair proof-run regressions and fixture gaps

- ship-docsync-completion: yesterday's audit-scope result dropped the section's
  status, so /ship spliced one in; the section now opens with **Status:**.
- ship-docsync-missing-asset: a missing section or old Ship-owned mode blocks
  before launch.
- ship-docsync-late-result: the invocation record says prepare already saves
  the candidate selection (no extra Read; budget unchanged).
- qa exploratory: await the method Reads before the first probe.
- qa-callers fixture: quote the real review-log record template; allow the
  git log command plan-completion prescribes.
- qa functional observer: a receipt caught mid-link(2) is checked at stop
  instead of failing with ENOENT (reproduced from CI).
Each repaired case passed a focused paid run.

* ci(image): pin Claude Code 2.1.284, the version users run

Request-body capture shows both 2.1.251 and 2.1.284 send effort "high" to
claude-fable-5-1; 2.1.284 adds the model's own profile. The slower 2.1.284
census was mostly API latency: its SDK-only judges were 25% slower too. Nine
previously slow cases pass on 2.1.284 within unchanged budgets.

* test: one owner per case id, a structural devex 0B setup rule, and correct design/gbrain actors

- plan-design-review-plan-mode was registered by two files; the PTY smoke is
  now plan-design-review-plan-mode-smoke, and a registry test requires one
  owner per case in case-sharded files.
- plan-devex-finding-floor: the template's 0B narrative-confirmation question
  is classified as setup structurally instead of timing out a Haiku assessor.
- setup-gbrain-remote: the actor accepted 'skip' on the MCP-registration
  question the test asserts; it now accepts that question and declines others.
- design-review-plugin-handoff: the fake engine cited a file absent from the
  fixture repo and index.html linked a missing styles.css.
Captured-question regressions with negative controls; each case passed a
focused paid run.

* test: PTY harness handles clipped reviews and bundled setup tabs; AUQ judge uses structured output; design-consultation carve declines optional outside voices

- ceo mode routing: a Submit review taller than the viewport, a setup tab
  bundled after the mode tab, and a clip through the mode question each hung
  or misread the run; the native answer is still verified after Submit.
- judgeRecommendation requests a 1-5 enum schema; a malformed Haiku reply had
  scored substance 0 for a 4/5 brief. Judge failures now propagate.
- carve section-loading for design-consultation declines the optional outside
  voices (a supported path) and treats DESIGN.md as the report; timeout unchanged.
The Step 0E handoff defect is not fixed (0/15 samples across four wordings,
none shipped) and is filed in TODOS.

* test: fold the design-consultation completion replay into carve-section-sharding (test-of-test ratchet)

* docs(todos): record the pre-push hook shard-order hang

* test(qa-callers): disable git auto maintenance in the fixture repo (same guard as shared-libs; from #3002)

* test(office-hours-attempt): the fake judge SDK response carries stop_reason like the real API (structured judge requires end_turn)

* fix(qa): the caller STOP line says to await the method Reads before any probe

ship-exploratory-plan-checks: the model read exploratory.md and sent a capture
in the same response, before seeing the section's own await rule.

* fix(qa): number the qa value-bar questions from 1 and say reproduced bugs already answer the first two

* fix(qa): define evidence.json where it is built, point the preparation gate at the next section, name measured command durations in the report template

Recurring qa/qa-only workflow-judge complaints in CI (clarity/actionability 3.33).

* fix(plan-eng-review,review): a disallowed question tool is not headless; report kept tests only when some were skipped

* fix(plan-eng-review): keep the headless-rule contract phrases adjacent

* fix(evals): cut path variance at its measured sources

- gstack-qa-evidence capture prints startedAt/completedAt/durationMs and, for
  --deadline captures, remainingMs; the functional report takes durations from
  them. The section clock notice asks for one clock read up front instead of one
  after every checkpoint (QA runs spent 7-14% of tool calls on date -u).
- ship plan-completion: skip the audit dispatch when discovery already found no
  plan (the dispatch-vs-skip conflict produced an optional 60-100 s subagent).
- materialize/checkpoint validation errors state the expected schema, so a
  rejected annotations file is fixable in one call instead of blocking the phase.
- session-runner counts turns from the transcript when a run times out, so
  timeouts stop reporting 'turn 0'.

* fix(evals): count timeout turns only from object transcript events

* test(qa-callers): deterministic child transport, completion-time handoff reads, compact phase report

The exploratory caller cases exist to prove the caller starts and bounds
exploratory QA. Their native adversarial reviewer (review) and plan audit
(ship plan-checks) now come from recorded child outputs instead of a live
subagent, handoff freshness reads are required before completion records
rather than every bookkeeping log, and the phase report is compact. Measured:
194-257 s per case against 208-284 s before, no subagent calls.

* test(ship-docsync): seed fault cases at their gate instead of replaying attempt 1

The post-dispatch fault cases (missing-marker, launch-failure, timeout-unsettled,
late-result, stale-before, stale-after, recovery) now start from a fixture-owned
attempt 1: the real actor prepares and dispatches it, its verbatim output is saved
once, and the invocation journal carries its pre-dispatch entry with the child
asset hashes. The model resumes at Parent processing with a trimmed read list,
inspect named as the authoritative repository observation, and recovery's
intermediate checkpoint folded into the next attempt's pre-dispatch entry.
Assertions count only parent-issued transport events and require a read of the
saved attempt-1 output; missing-asset and the legacy failure case keep the full
model-driven first attempt, and their prompts are byte-identical.

* test(ship-docsync): name the seeded read list and cap journal/report length

The first seeded stale-before run spent calls locating documentation.md (two ls
sweeps), reading through cat and re-Reading the record before Edit, and ~40 s
composing 1.5-2.2 KB entries and report. Name every seeded read path, ask for
native Read, and bound entry/report length.

* test(ship-docsync): trim the seeded parent's measured model time

Measured on the seeded runs: one read the 78 KB ship/SKILL.md, the post-child
freshness comparison spent 18-32 s of thinking over full inspect contents, and
the final response restated the report (~1.1 KB). Say the phase excerpt stands
in for ship/SKILL.md, compare hashes first and read content only for changed
paths, and end with one status line.

* feat(qa-evidence): enforce the checkpoint sequence and fill report bookkeeping in code

- capture refuses to run another probe until a checkpoint anchored on the
  latest complete capture names this capture as its next command, and every
  complete capture prints that requirement.
- materialize fills revision, runtime, cwd and learning (checkpoints whose next
  native command differs) when omitted and prints the reportLinks the report
  must include; the QA section shrinks accordingly.

* test(qa-callers): hand the caller phase its invocation-start observations and review token; fix(next-version): fetch without auto maintenance

- Every caller case receives the diff, status, log, untracked list, HEAD and an
  already-captured review start token, so the phase spends its budget on the
  contract under test instead of re-running setup reads.
- gstack-next-version's fetches pass --no-auto-maintenance. On git 2.55 a
  completed fetch forks detached maintenance in the caller's repository; the
  free suite's live smoke test ran it inside the CI checkout, and every
  shard-12 pre-push hook hang so far followed a completed smoke fetch.

* feat(deslop-shared-libs): route every Git read through bin/gstack-safe-git

The skill made the model retype a long safe-Git prefix on each call and a
dropped flag failed shared-libs-read-only. bin/gstack-safe-git applies the
fixed env + flag prefix, adds --no-ext-diff --no-textconv to log/show/diff,
allows diff only between two explicit object IDs and ls-files only in the
NUL-delimited overlay form, and refuses every other shape with one line
naming the allowed forms. The template now points at the installed helper
(host global runtime via {{SAFE_GIT}}) and drops the prose it enforces.

Fixtures resolve the helper to this checkout, the git shim records the safety
environment, and isGuardedGitRequest requires the complete prefix (env
included) for every repository read.

* test(shared-libs): tee to a discard device is not a file write

Paid shared-libs-opportunity-judgment t1 on 1213b01 failed read-only on
'... | tee /dev/null | sha256sum'. The detector flagged any tee operand while
the same devices are allowed for redirection. tee now fails only when an
operand is a real file; tee to a file, -a file and -- -a stay violations.

* fix(qa-evidence,observer): reject placeholder metadata and replay-only learning; declare the docs atomic-write target

- materialize measures revision, runtime and cwd itself and rejects supplied
  values that differ (CI run wrote revision "HEAD" and runtime "bun"), and
  refuses learning checkpoints that replay the same probe, naming the fix.
- The docs write observer treats Claude Code's atomic temp for the authorized
  doc target as transient, so a temp renamed before its per-file watch no
  longer marks the observation incomplete (ship-docsync-completion flake).
  Per-file monitoring outside declared targets stays fail-closed.

* test(qa-functional): fix mode requires only the happy scenario from the model (carried byte-identical from #3002 183b01f4..3e6074b4)

verifyQANativeRegression already reruns all eight webhook scenarios on the
repaired source, so the model-side eight-scenario requirement in fix mode
duplicated harness coverage and pushed qa-functional-webhook-fix past its
budget. qa-only still requires every scenario.

* fix(deslop-shared-libs): probe the audited repository with -C <repo>

A CI run probed safe-git from the session directory above the target repo, so
the capability probe never touched the repository and the run fell back to the
API without a local attempt. The probe (and any call from elsewhere) now names
the audited repository.

* test(qa-deadline): never attach a reader to the full-pipe fixture's stdout

The full-pipe receipt test attached a 'data' listener (flowing mode) and then
paused; on CI the reader could drain the 2 MB write before the pause, so the
receipt write never blocked and the helper exited 0 in ~126 ms. The stdout pipe
now stays unread until the assertion, which is what the test means to model.

* feat(qa): helpers answer --help, and the QA eval interfaces declare it

Approved by Garry: asking gstack-qa-evidence or gstack-qa-deadline for usage
is read-only, so both helpers print usage and exit 0 on --help (the evidence
usage now names the annotation shape), and the functional and caller command
allowlists accept exactly 'bun <path>/bin/gstack-qa-{evidence,deadline} --help'.
Two CI runs failed only on that call.

* fix(qa): after an input change, a probe is affected unless shown otherwise

CI late-input run finished in time but revalidated only the happy probe after
the locale input changed and reported the stale adverse probe green. The
revalidation step now treats any probe not shown to be unaffected as affected.

* test(shared-libs): seed the lifecycle replay's first Step 3 pass instead of replaying it

shared-libs-review-lifecycle ran ~88% of its 300 s session budget (12-run
census median 265 s, 4/24 sessions timed out). The fixture now executes pass 1's
Step 3 once with the real logger and Git: a real unused REVIEW_START, then the
diff, inventories, attributes/config/index flags, gstack-review-read output and
every file's bytes and sha256, saved to one observation. The model resumes at
Step 4 with an exact four-file first read, the observation named as the
authoritative pass-1 repository read, one post-fix verification, an explicit
pass-2 read list and a twelve-line summary. Pass 2 still runs its own --start,
diff, reads, fingerprint and stage actor before --finish.

The actor scope now states that a current settled final-pass actor result
supplies the replaced QA/adversarial prerequisites and that the no-credit
disclosure is a reporting label: one r1 session persisted completed:false
from that ambiguity.

New assertions: the final binding never uses the seeded token's start or tree,
and the observation was read; free controls finish the seeded token (binding
changed) and omit the observation read, and both fail.

* test(shared-libs): trim the resumed review replays' setup and report

Every sibling review session (revalidation, path-eligibility, index-flags,
prior-coverage) loaded qa/sections/exploratory.md and often scope.md although
its QA and native adversarial results are supplied synthetic inputs, then spent
a second request on shared-code-reuse.md and base metadata. The resumed scope
now states that the supplied results replace Step 4's QA method loading; the
revalidation contract names one first response (workflow, checklist, finding,
prerequisites, shared-code-reuse.md, base metadata) and caps the summary at
twelve lines. Receipt order, direct source reads, the checker, the question and
final persistence are unchanged.

* fix(review): define what a Step 5c Skip option says

Step 5c named "B) Skip" without saying what its description may claim. Two
CI captures (path-eligibility on 131d43be, index-flags on 4643cb85) offered a
Skip whose description added effects beyond declining: "The extraction can be
applied in a later editing review pass" and "replacing the invalidated prior
Skip". Those read as change commitments, so the no-change actor refused both.
Step 5c now says to describe Skip only as no code/index change with the Skip
recorded; adjacent lines are compacted so the review parity caps hold
unchanged. Both exact packets are kept as a free regression: still refused,
and accepted once Skip follows the rule. The actor's classifier is unchanged.

* fix(qa-evidence): every complete capture needs an evidence row; test(tpa): accept the hyphenated app-specific-password spelling

- materialize refuses when a complete capture has no evidence row and is not
  named in limits (CI cli-report omitted capture 004), naming the missing IDs.
- tpa-apple-ban's detector required 'app-specific password' with a space; the
  CI answer said 'app-specific-password path' and was otherwise correct.

* test(qa-observer): fix mode treats atomic temps of authorized src/test writes as transient

CI webhook-fix failed with 'Could not watch test/worker.regression-1.test.ts.tmp...':
Claude Code's Write renamed its temp before the per-file watch was added. The
functional eval now tells the observer its mode, and a temp whose target that
mode may write is observed through its directory watch. Report-only mode and
undeclared paths keep failing closed.

* feat(qa-evidence): refuse evidence observed on an older input snapshot than the latest capture

When native probe output declares a top-level input snapshot, materialize
compares each evidence row with the latest capture's snapshot and refuses
stale rows unless they are classified superseded, naming the captures to
rerun. ship-exploratory-late-input kept reporting a pre-change adverse probe
green after the input changed.

* test(qa-functional): point the fixture at the helper's --help instead of its source

A CI webhook-fix run spent three turns reading lib/qa-evidence.ts to learn the
interface and timed out just before materialize (agreed with #3002's owner).

* feat(qa-evidence): captures list the caller's declared-but-unrun required probes

GSTACK_QA_REQUIRED_PROBES (a JSON array of native child commands) makes every
capture print requiredRemaining; it never judges pass or fail. The functional
eval passes the webhook list from QA_WEBHOOK_REQUIRED_SCENARIOS, which the
verdict now reads too, so the nudge and the verdict share one source (agreed
with #3002's owner). CI webhook-report kept stopping with scenarios unrun.

* test(review-army): record N+1's pre-dispatch stages and scope the session to Step 4.5

review-army-perf-n-plus-one timed out in 7 of 13 CI runs on this branch (passing
245-280 s of 300). Each session spent ~95 s on setup (the full extracted SKILL,
checklist, section greps, exploratory.md, diff-scope/stats/learnings, tooling
checks), ran Step 4's core pass, a search-before-recommending WebSearch, and
wrote a 10-16 KB report (~100 s after the Red Team returned).

The fixture now stages only review/sections/review-army.md plus the performance
and red-team checklists, and hands the session the recorded detect-scope,
specialist-stats and learnings outputs and the diff. The caller passes
--performance (every CI parent already treated the prompt as that force flag
against the <50-line skip), declares the core pass, QA, adversarial review, web
research, Fix-First and persistence out of scope, and caps the report at the
selection line, the SPECIALIST REVIEW block and the Red Team result (30 lines).
The Performance specialist and the conditional Red Team are still real
foreground subagents, and the report still has to surface the N+1.

New assertion: a foreground Performance specialist dispatch precedes the Red
Team dispatch. Free controls omit the Performance dispatch or background it, and
both fail; the budget lifecycle adapter supplies the current result shape.
Touchfiles now include the .rb fixture the case reads.

* test(review-army): share the recorded Step 4.5 staging with consensus and supply its Red Team

review-army-consensus (periodic) timed out in 2 of 13 census sessions; passing
runs took 213-297 s of 300. Like N+1 it spent ~30-50 s reading the whole
extracted SKILL, checklist and every specialist file, sometimes dispatched an
unrequested Maintainability specialist, then ran a Red Team (60-70 s) and a
second merge before writing a 9-15 KB report.

The N+1 staging and scope text move into stageReviewArmySession /
reviewArmyScope / reviewArmyChecklists (the N+1 prompt renders byte-identical).
Consensus now records its detect-scope, stats, learnings and diff, stages the
Review Army section with the security and testing checklists, forces
--security --testing, and caps the report like N+1. Its Red Team is outside
the multi-specialist contract, so the fixture supplies a labeled synthetic
NO FINDINGS result instead of a dispatch. The existing SQL-finding and
browser-error assertions are unchanged; the lifecycle adapter's spawnSync now
returns the git output the staging reads.

* docs(changelog): v1.91.10.0 records the flake census and its repairs

* test(strict-output): give the spool-prefix child time to finish before the pending stream times out

windows-free-tests failed on 9a7a7e54: the 150 ms shared deadline raced Bun
startup on Windows, so the child was killed mid-write and the spool held a
partial payload. Only the never-released extra stream should time out; the
child now has 3 s.

* fix(qa-evidence): accept a single limits string; test(qa-callers): read the handoff first when a probe snapshot changes

CI late-input spent a turn rewriting limits as an array after materialize
refused a string, and a ten-read sweep hunting for the changed input before it
read reports/HANDOFF.md, then timed out at 300 s.

* test(autoplan-dual-voice): unwrap the framed native report before Claude Code 2.1.284's agentId/usage trailer

* test(section-loading): credit a Bash print that contains every line of the carved section

* test(auto-decide): ask for the selected mode in the skill's mode handoff line, not a separate public decision

* test(plan-ceo floor): scope preservation approves no premise, approach or remedy

* test(autoplan-dual-voice): the fixture declares that delivered bash blocks run alone, diagnostics separately

* test(coverage-audit): a fenced plain-word caption in a successful && read chain is display only

Census 36776104571 plan-eng capture read both owned files with cat -n in one
successful && chain; the caption 'echo "=== git diff main --stat ==="' fell
outside the two-token caption grammar, so both reads lost credit. Accept a fenced
caption of plain words; unfenced command strings, expansions, redirection,
-e escapes and ; / || tails stay rejected.

* test(office-hours): a fork whose outer options are the seeded shapes is the Phase 4 question

Census trials 1-2 captured complete Phase 4 forks (A) Server-side B) Client-side
C) Hybrid, recommendation with because) whose prose used none of the vocabulary
words. Accept two seeded shapes as outer options as Phase 4 specificity; the
earlier-phase, nested, fenced and single-shape controls still fail.

* fix(review): design-lite rows keep the detector's [rule-id]; the e2e detector rows point at the diff

The output template had no rule-id slot, so rows merged with checklist items
dropped the detector id (census t2, local t1). Rows now carry [rule-id]. The
fake engine's sample rows named a foreign fixture path at line 0; the e2e remaps
them to landing.html/styles.css so trials stop spending turns reconciling it.

* test(shared-libs): the plan actor reads scheduler parity and unchanged-scope lists

Census 36776104571's question preserved the contract ('behaving exactly like the
scheduler', 'scheduler parity holds by construction') and excluded work with
'Existing copies and helper hardening stay unchanged'. Accept exactly/parity as
preservation (negated forms refuse) and a bare noun list that stays unchanged as
an exclusion for the expansion scan only; verb-led clauses still refuse.

* fix(qa-only,qa): name the exploratory read point and finalization order; judge qa with its browser assets

qa-only judges cited 'next section' pointing at the wrong heading, an exploratory
trigger that contradicted its read point, clock ownership in mixed runs and the
unstated order of exploratory section 4 vs reporting. The qa judge penalized the
absent qa-report-template and issue-taxonomy that qa-patterns loads; with them
in, it found issue-taxonomy's dangling 'rule 13' (the consent rule is browser rule 3).

* test(ship-docsync): seeded attempt 1 counts toward the limit; transport counts ignore calls that never reached the state file

- CI launch-failure retried after the seeded attempt 1 as if that attempt were
  the fixture's; the seeded prompt now says attempt 1 is this invocation's and
  a further attempt needs what Blocked recovery requires.
- A late-result run typo'd the state path once (ENOENT, the actor never ran),
  then repeated the call correctly; the per-action count compared both calls
  with one actor event. Only calls naming the real state file are counted.

* fix(plan-eng-review): show the accepted dedicated read form for coverage-diagram sources

CI plan-eng-coverage-audit mixed package/config and git diff into the source
read; the review variant, whose prompt shows the && display form, does not.
The plan trace step now shows it too, within the unchanged size cap.

* test(sync-gbrain-readiness): a negation earlier in the claim clause is not a search/write readiness claim

The census unknown actor wrote 'nothing about read, search, or write capability
is confirmed either way' after a YELLOW/WARN verdict. The claim window started
at 'write', so the leading 'nothing' was outside it. Check the clause subject for
nothing/neither/none/no; keep the original in-claim negations. Replay of the
captured output passes; positive controls still flag an unnegated claim.

* fix(office-hours): a forcing question's recommendation takes the position the founder's words support

auq-matrix office-hours asked D1 Demand as options about the founder's own
evidence and, with no rule for that shape, recommended 'answer whichever is
TRUE — A is marked recommended only because it is the strongest position'
(substance 2). Say what such a recommendation is: the option the founder's own
words support, why it matters for the next step, and what would change it.

* fix(plan-ceo-review): name the mode preference command and the exact handoff line

auto-decide-preserved at 6fcb0981: the model never ran the preference check,
read 'check ... through the preamble' as already done, auto-selected 'per your
preference setting', and wrote 'Selected mode: HOLD SCOPE, auto-decided from
your tuned preference' instead of the AUTO_DECIDE handoff line. At 9a7a7e54 it
ran the check but wrote 'Decision: HOLD SCOPE is the review mode for ...'.
Neither matched the handoff template the observer recognizes. Name
gstack-question-preference --check at the point of use and say the handoff
begins with the exact matching line. Collapse the audit block's comment
padding to stay within the unchanged 80150-byte skeleton cap.

* test(section-loading): record the CEO capture's report and transcript

The 6fcb0981 census failed hasStaleFillRaceFinding (line 98), but the case
records nothing beyond junit, so the report the detector judged is gone.
Return the SkillTestResult from captureSectionReads and record it, with the
full saved report, through the eval collector on pass and fail.

* test(design): plan-mode names its read list and caps its additions and summary

At 6fcb0981 plan-design-review-plan-mode timed out at 300 s (9 turns): 22 cat/sed
chunk reads (~50 s), then a 28 KB plan Write (~150 s), before the read-back
finished. The 9a7a7e54 pass took 240 s with a 24.6 KB Write. Read SKILL.md,
review-sections.md and plan.md natively in one response, keep additions under
14,000 characters and the summary within ten lines. Budgets unchanged.

* test(plan-mode-no-op): require prose evidence before a waiting verdict ends eng/design runs (carried byte-identical from #3002)

With the prose fallback forced, the gate renders as a lettered menu; a judge
'waiting' verdict on a spinner-only frame ended the run as 'asked' before the
menu rendered, so the scope-gate check failed on unchanged behavior.

* feat(qa-evidence): materialize computes the phase verdict; callers must report it

Approved by Garry: the helper, not the model, decides whether evidence can
pass. materialize writes verdict {status, open} into evidence.json and prints
it: fail or blocked from row classifications, inconclusive while any row is
superseded, a complete capture is withheld, a declared required probe is
unrun or there is no evidence, else pass. The caller fixture requires
receipt.status to equal that verdict. CI late-input kept reporting pass with a
superseded happy probe.

* test(qa-callers): compare the receipt with the helper verdict only when evidence.json was materialized

The producer free tests run captures without materialize; evidence.json is
optional for callers, so its absence is not a verdict mismatch.

* test(llm-judge): run the ship workflow judge at medium effort so its panel fits JUDGE_MS

claude-fable-5-1 accepts only adaptive thinking (thinking.type.enabled with
budget_tokens returns 400), so effort is the available thinking control.
Measured on the exact ship judge request (105,301 input tokens):

- default effort, 18 samples: thinking 5,086-10,881 tokens, 75.9-144.7 s;
  3 of 18 passed the 120 s deadline (about 42% of 3-sample panels).
- medium effort, 18 samples: thinking 2,749-5,762, output at most 6,144
  tokens, 43.1-77.9 s; scores 4/4/4 in 16 of 18 (clarity 3 in two), versus
  14 of 18 at default.

callJudge gains an effort option sent as output_config.effort; only the ship
judge sets it. Rubric, floors, panel size, deadline, model and max_tokens are
unchanged. The cache identity records effort.

* test(llm-judge): ask frontier workflow judges for 120-word reasoning under the unchanged 150-word check

Told "under 150 words", the ship judge's reasoning landed at 130-156 words
(3 of 18 probe samples at 152-156), so the structured-response check failed
about one panel in three independent of effort. The prompt's frontier block
and the response schema description now say under 120 words; the validator
still rejects 150 words or more. The changed prompt bytes reach only the two
frontier judges: ship/SKILL.md workflow (prompt and schema) and
review/SKILL.md workflow (prompt).

* test(llm-judge): type the stream transport mock call

* test(plan-ceo floor): the request answers only the questions it names

PR lane 36794871032 (head 20d6e98f): the CEO floor ran 608 s without a
question. Its Step 0 recorded the premise gap and approach choice as
unresolved ledger rows, then said "this session supplies all answers up
front, so no decision brief was dispatched" and wrote Sections 1-11.
2734e203 stopped scope preservation from approving the premise; this time
the actor block (declined setup, recall, outside voices, HOLD SCOPE) and the
fixture's "complete user request is available from the start" were read
as pre-answering every review question. The CEO actor now states that the
request answers only the routing, recall, outside-reviewer and review-mode
questions it names.

* test(plan-devex floor): a 'Partly wrong' 0B answer is the narrative confirmation

PR lane 36794871032: the DX floor asked its D1 narrative confirmation
(Accurate, proceed / Partly wrong, correct it / Way off, actual is...). The
deterministic setup rule accepted only 'Some ... wrong', so the question went
to the LLM assessor, which hit its 30 s spawnSync cap (ETIMEDOUT) and ended
the case as assessment_error at 141 s, the same failure as census
36641820398. The rule now accepts 'partly' beside 'some'; the captured
question is a free regression and the remedy-option controls still go to
the assessor.

* test(design-review plugin handoff): quoted report text is not an install command

PR lane 36794871032: every behavioral check passed except noInstallOrOverride,
which matched "no `npx impeccable`" inside the quoted heredoc that wrote
detector-output.md. Nothing was installed or downloaded. The check now drops
quoted-delimiter heredoc bodies (literal data) before matching; unquoted
bodies, which can expand $(...), and unterminated bodies stay checked. Free
controls cover the captured write, bare npx, an IMPECCABLE_BIN override, an
unquoted $(npx ...), npx after the delimiter and an unterminated body.

* test(review-army delivery audit): stage only the plan-completion section and record its git reads

PR lane 36794871032: the case timed out at its 120 s budget after 7 turns
(previous lane passed in 45 s). The session read the 46 KB extracted SKILL in
three passes (cat to persisted output, grep, sed), ran its own git reads,
wrote a 74-line report, then inspected and ran gstack-learnings-log and
rewrote the report's Learnings section. As in the Step 4.5 cases
(17ee2e54/2bd4651c), the fixture now stages only
review/sections/plan-completion.md, hands the session the recorded
git log and diff, declares the HIGH-impact question, its Scope Check,
learnings logging and later steps outside the capture, and caps the report
at the audit block and its DISCREPANCY entries (30 lines). The NOT DONE and
email assertions are unchanged.

* feat(qa-evidence): one capture call records the causal note for the previous capture

capture R NNN [--public] (--deadline D|--timeout-ms MS) --after PREV --hypothesis 'TEXT' -- CMD
publishes exploration-NNN.json {observationCapture, observationArgv, observed, hypothesis,
nextCapture, nextArgv} before running CMD, refusing unless PREV is the latest complete capture.
The receipt carries checkpoint/checkpointSha256; validators bind the note to the transcript's
capture calls by capture ID and receipt hash instead of exact command strings. The separate
checkpoint command and the capture guard keep working; materialize learning accepts both note
shapes and still rejects same-probe replays. Prose and eval fixture prompts teach the merged form.

* fix(qa-evidence): a superseded row stops holding the verdict open once its probe is rerun on current inputs

materialize requires an old-snapshot row to be classified superseded, and its verdict kept every
superseded row open, so rerunning the probe (what its own error tells the model to do) could never
reach pass; late-input reran 3 and 9 on the new snapshot and still got inconclusive. A superseded
row now closes only when a non-superseded row with the same captured argv observed the current
snapshot. Re-materializing an already-published evidence.json names the cause instead of failing
generically.

* test(plan-eng batching): count saved decisions whose label drops the (recommended) marker or whose report is titled 'Eng Review Report — <plan>'

* fix(qa): browser-only runs skip annotations/materialize; only Q captures can anchor evidence rows

* test(design): plan-mode length is a drafting target, not a check to measure and trim

* test(llm-judge): structured output for doc, outcome and posture judges so reasoning quotes cannot break JSON

* test(ship-docsync): steer skill file reads to Read; large cat output becomes an unpageable preview

* docs(changelog): browser-only QA evidence and structured judge output

* test(qa-only cleanup): refusal scenarios get a 1 s budget and an absolute worker deadline; 300 ms starved under parallel load

* fix(office-hours, design-consultation): ask the goal question and read the mode section first; ask the memorable-thing question on its own

* test(outside-disabled): a record named by the retained record's own clock and then disowned owns its completed status

* test(context-skills): install gstack-paths in the fixture bin; without it the model guessed the checkpoint root

* test(ceo mode routing): SCOPE EXPANSION posture credits plural 'expansions'

* test(ship-docsync): name the unmet atomic-replacement check on a forbidden temp-file write

* fix(qa): browser-only runs materialize an empty evidence list with checkpoints in limits, matching /qa-only

* test(qa callers): an accepted review-log record may cite checkpoints as finding evidence

* fix(plan-eng-review): state that a disallowed question tool never qualifies as headless before the headless action

* merge follow-up: re-record paid CLI parity for #2999's flags; trim merged review, qa-only and plan-eng wording toward the size caps

* test(golden): refresh codex/factory ship goldens for the trimmed caller QA wording

* test(coverage-audit fixture): disable git auto maintenance so cleanup is not racing a detached git writer

* test(parity): raise review, qa and plan-eng caps to the measured merged size of #2999 and #3002 (each fit alone), documented per cap

* fix(qa-evidence): materialize rejects an unrecognized classification before publishing, so the one-shot verdict cannot be locked inconclusive by a descriptive label

0530392821 v1.81.0.0 feat: Aside is the browser gstack drives first; every browsing skill, the PDF/diagram renderer, and web research; the bundled browser stays the automatic fallback (#2810)
* feat(aside): browser-driver contract, cookbook, research and fallback resolvers

{{ASIDE_SETUP}} (readiness probe + ten rules for driving the user's real browser), {{ASIDE_COOKBOOK}} (script shapes verified live against Aside CLI 1.26: one flow per aside repl script, CDP console hook before navigation, evidence lines, session-directory artifact handoff, GSTACK_STEP_OK sentinel), {{ASIDE_RESEARCH}} (research through aside exec, WebSearch when Aside is absent, knowledge otherwise) and {{BROWSE_FALLBACK}} (the fifteen-row Aside-step to $B-command table plus the rules that differ, so every browsing skill keeps working on gstack's own headless browser). test/aside-driver.test.ts pins the sentences and asserts every browsing skill carries the Aside block followed by the fallback; test/helpers/aside-available.ts is the shared live-Aside probe.

* feat(render): Aside-first local-HTML renderer with the bundled browser as fallback

lib/aside-render.ts serves the HTML's directory on loopback (Aside refuses file:// URLs), opens it with waitUntil load, prints through CDP Page.printToPDF so tagged output, outlines, header/footer templates and page numbers survive, emulates device metrics for sized screenshots, and writes in-page evaluations to files; when Aside is absent it runs the same spec through the browse daemon (newtab, load, js, pdf, screenshot, closetab) and reports ENGINE=aside|browse. bin/gstack-render.ts is the CLI skill templates call. lib/claude-bin.ts and lib/error-handling.ts become the canonical copies (browse/src re-exports them).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(browse): /browse drives Aside first, with the $B reference behind the fallback

Contract, cookbook, mode choice (aside repl by default, aside exec for reading), report format, the fallback section, and the full command reference carved on demand.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(qa): /qa and /qa-only drive Aside, fall back to $B

QA_METHODOLOGY runs every phase as Aside scripts (orient, explore, document, re-test, mobile viewport via CDP emulation, links via HEAD fetch); the authenticate phase is 'you are already signed in'; a 13th rule requires consent before mutating actions on non-local targets; the fallback section translates each step onto $B. The qa E2E tests run on whichever engine is present.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(design): design-review, design-consultation, design-shotgun, plan-design-review, design-html drive Aside

Design-system extraction is one script printing FONTS/COLORS/HEADINGS/TOUCH_TARGETS/NAV; competitor research confirms the exact URLs before opening them in the real browser and runs on the bundled browser when Aside is absent; design-html's viewport screenshots, sketches and comparison boards render through gstack-render.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(deploy): benchmark, canary, land-and-deploy Step 7, devex-review drive Aside

One aside repl script per page prints NAV/PAINT/LCP/RESOURCES/SCRIPTS/CSS/SUMMARY (benchmark), CONSOLE_ERRORS/NAV/TEXT + screenshot (canary, re-run every 60s), and the post-deploy check reads responseStatus from the navigation entry; each carries the $B fallback.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(third-party-actions): Aside is the recommended driver; gstack's visible browser stays the fallback

The readiness probe is lifted from {{ASIDE_SETUP}} at gen time (byte-identity pinned) and rule 3 points at browse/SKILL.md for how to drive; the consent question offers Aside first and gstack's own visible browser (handoff/resume for sign-in) as the fallback, as v1.72 framed it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(scrape): /scrape reads pages through Aside; the browser-skills runtime rides the fallback

Look-then-extract scripts build the JSON inside the page and print it between JSON_START/JSON_END; aside exec for fuzzy intents; on the $B fallback the browser-skills match/prototype flow and /skillify apply as before.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(make-pdf): print through Aside first, the bundled browser otherwise

asideClient.ts replaces the direct $B client with one render() call per PDF (the exact option mapping the browse pdf command had: paper, margins, header/footer/page numbers, tagged, outline, printBackground, preferCSSPageSize, Paged.js wait); the diagram pre-pass, oversized-image downscale and DOCX rasters each run as one render script with per-fence try/catch; exit 4 now means no browser is available and names both remedies; $P setup reports which engine it found. The e2e gates run on whichever engine is present, so the Linux lane exercises the fallback.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(diagram): the triplet is one gstack-render call

SVG, PNG and excalidraw from one invocation over the content-addressed bundle staged under /tmp/gstack-render; every diagram type gets an excalidraw export; gstack-render picks the engine and prints ENGINE=; the diagram E2E gates on either engine.

* feat(research): web research runs in Aside first, WebSearch second

The planning, review, design, security and investigate skills research through {{ASIDE_RESEARCH}}; WebSearch stays in allowed-tools as the fallback; testing.ts's bootstrap step follows; skeleton ceilings ratcheted for the research block.

* feat(setup,gen-skill-docs): prune renders of skills that no longer exist

setup gains _prune_stale_generated for every host tree and the doc generator removes gstack-* output dirs it did not write, so a skill removed from the source tree can never linger in an install.

* test: registries, budgets and suite reconciled for Aside-first with the $B fallback

Touchfiles + E2E tiers gain the Aside keys, coverage matrix and eval baselines updated, size budget re-baselined to parity-baseline-v1.80.0.0.json (the contract plus fallback ride in every browsing skill), parity ceilings ratcheted with measured values, LLM-judge prompts and the E2E fixtures speak Aside-first, browse-fallback.

* docs: Aside first, gstack browser fallback

README, BROWSER.md, docs/, CONTRIBUTING, CLAUDE.md, ARCHITECTURE, AGENTS.md, TODOS and the root router describe the one product story: Aside is the browser gstack drives first; the bundled headless browser is the automatic fallback (Linux, Windows, app closed) where cookie import, GStack Browser, pair-agent and browser-skills still apply.

Two follow-ups from the /plan-ceo-review + /plan-eng-review pass on merging
PR #2804 with main's v1.80.0.0 ownership gate: bring the Codex/Factory/
OpenCode/Cursor/Kiro copy loops and the stale-render prune under the
.gstack-owned marker rule, and a free test pinning that the CHANGELOG top
heading equals VERSION (the collision that git cannot see).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: pre-landing review fixes for the Aside-first branch

Review army + adversarial passes (Claude and Codex) on the merged branch:

setup
- _prune_stale_generated scans the host dirs too (the generator already
  removed the render before setup ran, so the host branch was dead), skips
  symlinks in the render tree (rm -rf on a slash-terminated link empties its
  target), removes a host symlink only when it resolves into gstack, cleans a
  bannered real dir through _cleanup_weak_dir, recognizes frontmatter-renamed
  skills, and logs through log. The always-run codex render passes every host
  dir that may link to it.
- NEEDS_BUILD checks all three binaries (with $_EXE) and lib/ sources; the
  browser hint and the bootstrap summary honor GSTACK_SKIP_ASIDE, treat a
  requested skip as a request, and derive one skill list.

lib/aside-render.ts + bin/gstack-render.ts
- The loopback server carries a per-render secret path, checks containment on
  the real path (symlink escapes are 403), and rejects malformed encoding.
- Inline eval results are one base64 line, so page text cannot forge
  ASIDE_DIR= or the sentinel; the last ASIDE_DIR wins.
- runProc escalates SIGTERM to SIGKILL, bounds every wait, and clears every
  timer (an uncleared one kept gstack-render alive after printing OK).
- renderTmpDir refuses a shared /tmp name owned by someone else; the work dir
  and server are created inside try; goto's budget follows the render budget.
- probeAside classifies a present-but-failing CLI as ASIDE_NOT_RUNNING like
  the skills' bash probe; render() retries on gstack's own browser when Aside
  could not start or its private CDP bridge is gone (never on a page error
  or a timeout of a running script); the CLI reports the engine that actually
  rendered, exits 0 on --help, rejects non-numeric flags, documents
  --wait-timeout, fences EVAL/PAGE_ERRORS as untrusted content, and names the
  daemon's cookie-import JS lock remedy.
- The browse path passes --scale only when asked (a scale change rebuilds
  the daemon context) and restores the viewport after a sized screenshot.

resolvers / templates
- The bash probe honors GSTACK_SKIP_ASIDE and has a perl deadline on stock
  macOS; .local is no longer LOCAL (mDNS); same-origin filters compare parsed
  origins; link status is HEAD-checked only on LOCAL targets; every
  aside exec goes through the receipted _aside_exec prelude
  ({{ASIDE_EXEC_PRELUDE}}), including nine template blocks that called it
  bare; the design sketch and diagram staging use private directories.
- The generator prunes only bannered renders and never a host whose
  generation failed.

Docs, stale comments and dead code cleaned; goldens re-rendered; tests
updated and added for every behavior above.

* test: coverage for the render CLI, setup rebuild check, make-pdf exit codes, and prose $B spans

New free tests from the ship coverage audit: test/gstack-render-cli.test.ts
(argv guards, --help, output contract with a fake daemon, failure and
serve-root paths, no-browser case, prompt exit), test/setup-needs-build.test.ts

make-pdf/test/cli-exit-codes.test.ts and setup-smoke.test.ts (error to exit
code mapping, runSetup stages, renderPdf's engine), and prose-span cases for
extractBrowseCommands in test/skill-parser.test.ts.

* docs: CHANGELOG and TODOS cover the review fixes (v1.81.0.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: sync project docs with the v1.81.0.0 review fixes

BROWSER.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md, CLAUDE.md,
docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md and docs/PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md now describe the
shipped renderer and setup: the loopback render server's per-render secret
path and real-path containment, ENGINE= naming the engine that actually
rendered (mid-run retry on gstack's own browser), EVAL/PAGE_ERRORS fenced as
untrusted content, --wait-timeout and the CLI's argv guards, the receipted
_aside_exec prelude ({{ASIDE_EXEC_PRELUDE}} in the placeholder table), the
LOCAL host rule without .local, LOCAL-only HEAD checks in the links script,
GSTACK_SKIP_ASIDE across probe/renderer/setup, the ownership-gated
retired-skill prune, the widened NEEDS_BUILD check, and the new free tests
(gstack-render-cli, setup-prune-stale-generated, setup-browser-hint,
setup-needs-build, make-pdf cli-exit-codes and setup-smoke).

* fix(test): skill-e2e-bws slices the $B setup block from the Browser fallback section

browse/SKILL.md no longer has '## SETUP' / '## Core QA Patterns' (Aside is the
primary driver; the $B block moved under 'Browser fallback'), so the gate test
sliced an empty block and handed the agent nothing to run. Anchor on
'### Find the `$B` binary' up to the next heading. 7/7 pass.

* fix(test): gate POSIX-only fixtures off Windows

windows-free-tests: the gstack-render CLI tests drive a shebang fake browse
that CreateProcess cannot exec, and two NEEDS_BUILD cases assert an execute
bit and a bare-name miss that MSYS bash does not have (test -x ignores mode
bits and resolves design -> design.exe). Those describes and cases now
self-skip on win32; argument guards, --help, the no-browser case, and every
other rebuild-check case still run there.

* fix(render): runProc waits for the exit code until the kill deadline; newtab retries once on a cold daemon

A process whose pipes have reached EOF is exiting, but runProc gave the exit
code only five seconds to arrive and then returned null, which run() reports
as a failed command. Under CI's six-shard load one such render failed with the
artifact already written. The SIGTERM/SIGKILL timers already bound the wait,
so the exit race now runs to the kill deadline.

The first CLI call auto-starts the browse daemon; on a cold start it can
answer 'Unable to connect' once while the server is still coming up. That
single case is retried after 1.5s; every other newtab failure is not.

* test(aside-render): warm the daemon before live fallback cases; failures name the render error

- Live fallback cases run 'goto about:blank' up to twice before asserting and
  skip (never fail) when the daemon cannot come up.
- expectOk() puts r.error and the browse transcript into the assertion so a
  failed render is diagnosable from the CI log.
- The argv-contract cases dump the fake's log on a miss.
- File default timeout is 30s: the subject is the CLI contract, not latency.
- Two cases pin the cold-daemon newtab retry and that other errors are not
  retried.
