+8 28f1385eac v1.91.32.0 fix: Codex works from zsh, free text never enters shell commands, honest failures (#3057)
* fix: sourced helpers locate themselves under zsh (#3024)

Skill blocks source bin/gstack-codex-probe and bin/gstack-egress-lib.sh into
the host's shell. Under zsh (macOS default) BASH_SOURCE is empty, so Codex
model selection resolved /../scripts/... and every outside pass reported
CODEX_MODEL: invalid; the egress lib resolved to the caller's cwd. Resolve
the file once at source time (BASH_SOURCE under bash, %x under zsh), and
replace the bash-only ${!name} indirection in the auth probe. A free test
derives every sourced helper from the generated skills and sources each
under bash and zsh.

* fix: reply and issue templates never pass untrusted text in double quotes (#3046)

greptile-triage's reply APIs posted -f body="<reply text>" while the
templates quote SHAs and diff code in backticks; in double quotes bash ran
each span (replies posted as 'Fixed in .', and diff or reviewer text ran as
a command). The pre-existing-failure issue template and /spec's issue title
had the same shape. All three now go through quoted heredocs. The
generated-bash lint gains untrusted-in-quotes and now also covers runtime
reference docs in skill directories (review/greptile-triage.md).

* fix: a Codex usage limit is its own state, not 'inconclusive; proceeding' (#3051)

The model probe matched only model and broken-install errors, so a usage or
rate limit fell through to MODEL_PROBE_INCONCLUSIVE: Codex's own message
(with the reset time) was dropped, the hint pointed at model config, and
every later skill re-probed for 30 s. The probe now returns
MODEL_QUOTA_EXHAUSTED (exit 4) on a failed, non-timeout call that names a
usage limit, rate limit, insufficient_quota or 429, relays Codex's line
verbatim and caches it for 15 minutes. Preflights map it to
CODEX_MODE: quota_exhausted (missing coverage, no further Codex calls), and
classifyOutsideReview reports a mid-run limit as unavailable (quota) with
its own troubleshooting anchor.

* test: record ship/review union sizes after the quota branch and issue template

* fix: Codex watchdog freezes the command before reaping its children

The bash-native watchdog (stock macOS, no timeout binary) ran pkill -P on
the command's children and then killed the command. Between the two, the
command continued past its killed child and printed output after its
deadline. Stop it first. The test's minimal PATH also lacked pkill, which
the watchdog uses to reap children (stock macOS ships it), so the orphaned
child held stdout open and the capture waited out its sleep.

* fix(autoplan): an oversize session journal is a hard too_large denial, not a retryable identity failure (#3050)

The guard capped journal reads at 32 MiB and reported a longer journal as
'identity', which the hook treats as deny-and-retry. A journal only grows,
so /autoplan could never enter Phase 1 in a long session, and the
troubleshooting row sent people chasing symlinks. Oversize journals now
report too_large as a hard cause that names the size and the supported
fallback (run the reviews by hand or start a new session).

* fix(deps): clear the weekly OSV findings (#3040)

Raise overrides to fixed releases: ip-address 10.7.3 (our own pin was the
vulnerable 10.3.1; reachable through socks in browse's proxy path),
fast-uri 3.1.8, hono 4.13.13, proxy-addr 2.0.8, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
1.31.0, sharp 0.35.5, and in lib/diagram-render dompurify 3.4.16 (bundled
by mermaid) and source-map-js 1.2.2; the render page is rebuilt. Three
advisories without a usable fix get justified, expiring ignores: braces
(build-time only, excalidraw -> sass -> chokidar; a test checks the page
carries no chokidar code), sprintf-js (roarr's constant-format logger) and
katex (needs pre-existing prototype pollution; fix outside mermaid's range).
osv-scanner with the repo config: no issues found.

* fix(autoplan): name a shell-built snapshot init as the cause of the missing-evidence denial (#3045)

The guard binds a phase entry only to a literal snapshot-init Bash call.
When the model resolved the tool path into a variable, chained or piped the
call, init ran and succeeded but the denial said 'Complete the existing
snapshot init step', which reads as already done, so the run gave up. When
no init binds but a Bash call looks like one, the denial now says the shape
cannot be bound and prints the literal re-run (answers reused:true). The
binding rule is unchanged, and the skill says to run init on its own.

* fix(browse): chain reads piped stdin synchronously, so Windows runs the flow (#3039)

On Windows, an awaited Bun.stdin.text() inside the CLI's un-awaited main()
let the process exit 0 before reading stdin: a replayed flow reported
success with nothing sent to the daemon. Read fd 0 synchronously (skipped
for a terminal); empty input now gets the server's usage error and a
non-zero exit.

* fix(browse): clearer config-mismatch refusal and a WebGL note for the macOS GPU flags (#3030)

A plain call refused because another session started the daemon with
--headed/--proxy was told to 'apply --proxy/--headed', flags it never
passed. It now says who started the daemon and offers both remedies. The
BROWSER.md env table notes that the default macOS GPU flags disable WebGL
and that GSTACK_DISABLE_GPU=off restores it for WebGL QA.

* fix(ship): skip Greptile triage when no PR exists yet (#3020)

/ship's first run on a branch dispatched a triage subagent only to learn
there was no PR. Step 10 now checks for a PR inline (gh's 'no pull requests
found') and records that Greptile runs on the PR once it exists; other gh
errors still dispatch so the child can report unavailable.

* fix(router): route only to loaded skills, and say when not to invoke (#3018)

The root router listed every skill and ended 'When in doubt, invoke the
skill'. Current Claude models follow that literally: they tried to invoke
skills a user had turned off in Claude Code's skillOverrides (which gstack's
own disabled_skills render cannot see), and borderline requests tipped into
full workflows. The router now routes only to skills in the session's
available-skills list and names when to answer directly; the CLAUDE.md
routing block skill-start offers says the same.

* fix: spawned sessions never auto-grant consent or publish off the machine (#3016)

Spawned sessions auto-choose the recommended option except for destructive
or irreversible choices. Main already withholds the artifacts-sync consent
prompt from spawned sessions; the remaining gap was any other prompt whose
recommended option grants a consent or syncs data off the machine. Every
spawned directive (skill-start's block, the escape sentence, the Conductor
deny reason and the AUQ-error fallback) now names that as irreversible. A
consent the user already gave interactively stays in force.

* test: fix the spawned-block slice and type the #3045 re-init events

* fix(redact): TypeScript types and JSX expressions are code, not env.kv secrets (#3048)

A credential-named parameter or prop with an unquoted code value
(`session: SessionState,`, `key={turn.requestId + turn.role}`,
`apiKey={settings.apiKey}`) cleared the entropy gate and blocked pushes as
a MEDIUM env.kv finding. One rule replaces the PR's two keyword heuristics:
a value that reads as a code name (no digits, word-like camelCase or dotted
parts) with a code terminator, or a brace expression of such names with no
quoted literal, is source syntax. Paired controls keep firing on quoted,
brace-wrapped, concatenated, YAML-bare and random-letter literals.

* fix(setup): refuse to register a hook that does not parse (#3032)

Claude Code runs gstack's hook shims through /bin/sh; a shim that does not
parse exits 2, which for a PreToolUse hook blocks the tool call in every
session until someone finds the file. Before any hook registration is
healed or written, setup now runs bash -n on each registered shim and a Bun
parse of its TypeScript entry, and stops with the file, line and fix. A
lean rewrite of the PR's idea (one gate block plus a test that runs it).

* fix(browse): Windows runtime roots start the server from the source checkout's bundle (#3026)

On Windows a host runtime root (~/.codex/skills/gstack and the other
env-var hosts) holds file copies of browse/dist and no node_modules, so
its server-node.mjs could not import playwright and every browser skill
died (the module-scope server.ts half was fixed in v1.91.19.0). setup now
records the source checkout in every runtime root's .source-path, and the
CLI runs that checkout's bundle when the adjacent one cannot reach
playwright. Verified by unit layout tests and the Windows CI lane, not
live on Windows.

* fix(copilot): on Windows, run bash blocks in Git for Windows Bash (#3047)

Copilot CLI on Windows ran gstack's extensionless helpers straight from
PowerShell, which opened an app picker, and bare bash can resolve to WSL.
The Copilot tool glossary (rendered into every Copilot skill) now says to
run each bash block in Git for Windows Bash by its full path and never to
translate a block into PowerShell. The PR's PowerShell repair skill and
README section are not taken.

* test: record ship's union size after the Greptile no-PR check

* fix: keep issue numbers out of model-read Copilot text; seed the new routing sentence in the autoplan fixture

* docs: Oct 6 fix-wave plan, reviewed through /autoplan

* fix(autoplan): every oversize-journal path reports too_large with a recovery that keeps the work

Review follow-up to the #3050 fix. The summed batch read and the narrowed
parent loop now report too_large with the real size instead of a plain
error naming a hard-coded 32 MiB. The denial names the size and the cap,
and gives the recovery that keeps work (/context-save, new session,
/context-restore, /autoplan) with a docs anchor. A test seam that can only
lower the cap replaces the 33 MiB fixture.

* test(autoplan): negative controls and more shapes for the shell-built init denial

* fix(redact): decide TS/JSX source syntax by file context, not by value shape

Review follow-up to the #3048 fix. The word-shape heuristic also exempted
real secrets made of words (API_KEY=VelvetRiverOrbitSunset; in a .env).
The scanner now takes the file path (ScanOptions.sourcePath): the pre-push
hook scans the pushed diff per file with its +++ b/ path, and gstack-redact
--from-file passes its path. Only in a TypeScript/JSX file is an unquoted
value after ':' or a JSX brace of names treated as source; the same line in
.env/YAML, or with no path, is scanned as a literal, and the jwt pattern
still fires in .ts files.

* docs: gstack's own CLAUDE.md routing block matches the new router wording

Live check (Claude Code 2.1.284): a skill set to "off" in skillOverrides
is absent from the session's skill list while its sibling is listed, and
both are listed without the override, so 'route only to skills in your
available-skills list' holds.

* fix(sync-gbrain): don't offer a call-graph build for a source with no code pages (#3029)

Step 3.5 offered --dream for any source with pages, including one that
holds only markdown (synced with gbrain's default strategy), where a build
cannot help, and the injected CLAUDE.md guidance told future sessions to run
--dream for any count: 0. On gbrain >= 0.60, code-def for an impossible
symbol answers .status (probed live against gbrain 0.60.96: ready for a
code source, out_of_scope for a markdown-only one). Step 3.5 now probes the
pinned source first, reports the cause instead of asking on out_of_scope,
and keeps today's offer when the probe is unknown (older gbrain, an error).
gstack's own sync uses --strategy code, so the PR's soft-delete claim does
not apply to gstack's path.

* fix(setup): register the hooks that parse, refuse the rest with file:line (#3032)

The landed gate stopped setup before any registration, so one unparseable
hook left every other hook unregistered. On the Claude install the canonical
root is the checkout Claude Code runs hooks from, so there is no staged swap
to abort: setup now registers the hooks that parse, refuses the ones that do
not with file and line, finishes the install and exits non-zero, saying it
is a gstack bug and that a skipped hook keeps running from the checkout.

bin/gstack-hook-check derives its list from setup's _hook_command_path calls
plus the autoplan phase-publication hook (a test keeps them equal), parses
each shim with its shebang's interpreter, and bundles each TypeScript entry
with its local imports (packages external) into a temp dir, so a broken or
missing import, or a missing entry, fails.

* fix(auto-update): hold an update whose hooks do not parse, before the checkout moves

bin/gstack-session-update fast-forwards the live checkout before setup runs,
and Claude Code runs hooks straight from it, so setup's gate cannot protect
an auto-update. After the Bun floor check the updater extracts the incoming
revision with git archive and runs bin/gstack-hook-check on it; a failure
holds the update like bun-too-old, records hook-does-not-parse with file:line
in the update status, and the next session start says the current hooks keep
running. Fixture-remote tests cover a broken shim, a broken imported module
and a parseable control.

* fix(browse): chain with no flow is a usage error before any daemon boots (#3039)

Empty piped input, a terminal with no arguments, and a readFileSync(0)
error (EAGAIN, EOF) now print the chain usage with the cause and its
troubleshooting link and exit 1 before ensureServer(), instead of sending
an empty argument to a daemon the CLI booted for it. Tests run the real CLI
with no daemon and no browser, plus the stub-daemon flow.

* fix(browse): refuse a runtime-root CLI and checkout server from different builds (#3026)

A Windows runtime root runs the source checkout's Node server bundle through
.source-path. When the root's CLI and the checkout's bundle carry different
browse/dist/.version builds (the checkout was rebuilt without refreshing the
root), the CLI now refuses to start the server with both builds, the
./setup fix and its troubleshooting anchor. Unversioned dev builds are not
called skew.

* ci(windows): real isolated ./setup install, then a piped chain flow through the installed browse

windows-setup-e2e built the checkout but never ran ./setup. It now installs
the codex host into an isolated HOME (a runtime root copy with no
node_modules), then from an unrelated directory pipes a two-command chain
flow at a loopback page into the installed browse and asserts the page text,
and that empty piped input exits 1 with the usage error. Covers the
checkout-bundle path and the piped-stdin path end to end.

* test(lint): free text never enters a generated command (structural rule)

The generated-bash lint's untrusted-in-quotes rule (gh/glab/git/curl text
flags in double quotes only) becomes free-text-placeholder: any <placeholder>
anywhere in any command, in double, single or no quotes, and in heredoc
bodies (quoted or not), unless it is on the reviewed identifier allowlist
(test/helpers/placeholder-allowlist.ts) with the grammar a value must match.
Quoted-only identifiers (URLs, selectors, paths printed by gstack) must sit
inside quotes. Backslash-newline continuations now read as one command, so
a flag and its value on separate lines are still seen together.

* fix: reply, issue and spec text travel as agent-written files, never through a heredoc

Replaces the quoted-heredoc bodies with CEO-12's file mechanism: a bash
block creates a private mktemp file in the project's .gstack/tmp/ (kept out
of git through .git/info/exclude), the agent writes the text with its
file-write tool, and the next block posts with -F body=@file, --body-file
or "$(cat file)". A heredoc ends early at any body line equal to its
delimiter; a file has no such line. When the file was never written the
block refuses with the path and the command to send it by hand, and it
deletes the file after a successful post.

- review/greptile-triage.md: replies; the fetched JSON moves from fixed
  /tmp/greptile_*.json paths to a mktemp directory; REPO and PR are
  re-derived per block instead of read from a previous shell.
- Test-failure issues: title and body files, platform case on
  github/gitlab, assignee only when it is a valid login.
- /spec: one draft file feeds the audit hash, every redaction scan, the
  issue and the archive; the archive no longer expands <title>/<body>
  inside an unquoted heredoc; the decision-log JSON is built by jq from
  files.

Location verified against Claude Code 2.1.284 (Dockerfile.ci pin):
project-local .gstack/tmp is writable under acceptEdits with no prompt and
keeps mode 0600; $TMPDIR and the gstack state root prompt even under
acceptEdits.

* fix(ship): Greptile triage runs only when a PR exists; every other case says why

PR: unknown (gh missing, not logged in, a non-GitHub remote, or a failed
lookup) used to dispatch the triage child anyway. The Step 10 check now
tests gh, its login, the remote and the PR in that order, and every case
but 'PR: exists' skips the dispatch and records
'Greptile: not run (<reason>); runs on the PR once it exists'.

* fix: question-tuning commands carry no free text

The question log took the summary in single quotes and the preference write
took the user's own words; an apostrophe ended the quote and the rest ran as
shell. The summary is now a kebab-case slug (an identifier with a grammar),
and the optional free_text field is no longer passed from skills (the
binary still accepts it).

* fix(cso): Windows finds docker.exe only under known-folder roots and says transport is unsupported (#3028)

On Windows /cso looked for docker only in Git's directory and System32, so
Docker Desktop was never found and the gap read as 'not installed'. It now
resolves Program Files, Program Files (x86) and the Windows directory through
PowerShell's [Environment]::GetFolderPath (not the process environment),
checks each candidate's real path against those roots and rejects reparse
points. lib/cso/docker.ts admits only unix:/// endpoints, so a trusted
docker.exe reports 'native Windows Docker transport is not supported yet;
static assessment only'; one outside the roots is refused as outside the
trusted install locations, not overridable. Both carry an anchor. Native
named-pipe transport is not implemented.

* fix: sourced helpers share one self-locate block and fail loudly when they cannot locate themselves (#3024 rework)

The codex probe and the egress lib now carry one byte-identical block:
BASH_SOURCE under bash or %x under zsh, made absolute with $PWD, else a set
GSTACK_ROOT that holds the helper. Anything else (dash, sh, a shell that
cannot name the file) prints "gstack: cannot locate <helper> (shell: ...)"
with the docs/troubleshooting.md#sourced-helper-location URL and returns
before any bash- or zsh-only syntax. The Claude-only default path and the
$(pwd) fallback are gone.

The generated Codex preflight dot-sources the probe and, when it cannot load,
reports CODEX_MODE: helper_unavailable with the helper's own line instead of
falling through to not_authed. The class guard enumerates nested sources,
makes real resolver, auth, state-root and egress-home calls under bash and
zsh (absolute, relative then cd, bare name via PATH), covers dash and an
unknown shell, runs the full preflight, and lints BASH_SOURCE to the shared
block plus other bash-only constructs.

* fix(cso): a Maven or Gradle repository is Java, not Python (#3028)

With no supported stack metadata, preparation defaulted to Python and asked
a Java repository for requirements.txt. A root pom.xml, build.gradle or
build.gradle.kts now names the stack as Java (unsupported for runtime
preparation, so the prerequisite says so), and Python helper scripts or a
root requirements.txt beside it no longer make it Python.

* fix(browse): BROWSER.md says plainly how to enable WebGL; the mismatch refusal links Daemon discipline (#3030)

The GSTACK_DISABLE_GPU row now states the effect and the switch: set
GSTACK_DISABLE_GPU=off to enable WebGL (off is the only recognized value).
The reworded config-mismatch refusal links BROWSER.md's Daemon discipline
section. Free tests pin both.

* test(windows): name the B2, B4, B5 and B12 tests in the curated Windows lane

The runtime-root bundle tests lived in browse/test/config.test.ts and the
Copilot glossary test in test/host-config.test.ts, both excluded from the
Windows lane, so the two Windows-only fixes were never checked on Windows.
Move each into its own Windows-safe file (unchanged assertions) and list it,
the piped-stdin chain test and the /cso docker.exe discovery test as named
Windows coverage in scripts/lib/windows-curation.ts.

* fix: the free-text block exits loudly when mktemp fails; spec and redact tests follow the file mechanism

The redact resolver test, the #2679 mktemp guard test, the /spec invariant
and the spec secret-sink harness pinned the heredoc transport. They now pin
the agent-written file: the harness runs the draft-file block, writes the
draft the way the file-write tool would, then runs the real scan fence, with
every HIGH/MEDIUM/scanner-failure assertion unchanged.

* test: hostile payloads through the generated posting blocks, identifier grammars, every quoting shape

- The lint reads a whole command, so an unquoted multi-word placeholder is
  caught; negative controls cover double, single and no quotes, quoted and
  unquoted heredocs, continuation lines, and quoted-only identifiers used
  unquoted.
- Every allowlisted grammar rejects quote-breaking characters (and shell
  operators and whitespace when used unquoted); git accepts 'fix;id' and
  'fix`id`' as branch names, the ref grammar does not.
- Greptile replies, test-failure issues (GitHub and GitLab) and /spec filing
  and archive run from the real generated text with stub gh/glab: a body
  with backticks, $(...), an apostrophe and lines equal to EOF and the old
  heredoc delimiters arrives byte for byte, nothing in it runs, and the temp
  file is gone. An unwritten file is refused with its path and the manual
  command, and nothing is sent.

* test(ship): the PR check precedes the Greptile dispatch, and each skip names its reason

Runs Step 10's generated check against stub gh for gh missing, not logged

the previous text (which printed PR: unknown and dispatched).

* feat(ship): ship-measure runner for the measure-then-fix loop (A6)

scripts/ship-measure.ts owns /ship's diagnostic measurement of a red eval
case: per-kind aggregation (rule trials; behavior panels of 3, each at its
own 2 of 3 plus 90% of trials; judge outputs scored by 3-sample panels,
standalone judge ids accepted), one artifact directory per baseline,
repair round and trial, a diagnostic label with verdict null that refuses
the eval history dir, an estimated admission budget that reserves every
concurrent trial and reconciles actual cost, the ask-once rule, the
repair-round limit, the unmeasured skip and the per-case PR table.

Free-suite flakes (CEO-1): 'free' reruns one shard's exact file list N
times, rerun 1 alone as the baseline and the rest in parallel at
max(1, floor(cores / shard concurrency)), each with its own HOME, state
root and flake ledger, GSTACK_FREE_RETRY_FLAKY=0, under a wall cap that
reports a partial count. test:ubicloud --diagnostic runs the same on one
VM with the retry off.

bin/gstack-config gains the DX-7 keys with their CEO-9 defaults and
rejecting validators. Free tests drive every kind, the budget stop, the
unmeasured skip and the free reruns with fake runners.

* fix: a Codex usage limit is quota_exhausted, a plain 429 is rate_limited, and only Codex's own error lines count (#3051 rework)

The probe's quota signature used to treat any rate limit, "too many
requests" or 429 as quota, and read the whole output, which echoes the
prompt. Now only Codex's trailing ERROR: / stream error lines are read.
A usage-limit or insufficient_quota line is MODEL_QUOTA_EXHAUSTED (exit 4,
cached 15 minutes; quota wins over a 429 that names insufficient_quota); a
plain 429 is MODEL_PROBE_RATE_LIMITED (exit 0, state rate_limited, never
cached), reported as CODEX_MODE: unverified (rate_limited) so the review
still runs and decides.

The quota HINT says how many minutes gstack skips Codex and how to retry
now (GSTACK_CODEX_PROBE_RETRY=1 skips the negative cache for that probe, or
delete <state root>/.codex-model-probe), with the full troubleshooting URL.
classifyOutsideReview reads the same trailing lines: a mid-review quota is
unavailable (quota_exhausted), a mid-review 429 unavailable (rate_limited).
New gate row rate_limited and docs anchor codex-rate-limited; the quota row
documents the retry. Tests cover each line shape, the echoed prompt, exit
0, timeout, retry recovery, probe/classifier parity, and two fresh-shell
preflight blocks where the second makes no paid Codex call.

* ci: the eval image installs zsh, and the macOS lane sources the Codex probe from zsh

Dockerfile.ci adds zsh so the sourced-helper guard runs (and fails loudly
when zsh is missing) inside the eval container too. The macOS named
regressions job sources bin/gstack-codex-probe from zsh in an unrelated
directory and runs _gstack_codex_select_model exec (no paid call), then runs
the sourced-helper guard on the macOS runner. A free test pins both lanes and
runs the macOS step's script locally.

* test: deterministic regression for the Codex watchdog freezing the command before reaping its children

The existing stubborn-child test caught the reap-then-kill race only some of
the time (2 of 3 runs on the pre-fix watchdog). A pkill that sleeps after
reaping widens the window between reaping the children and killing the
command, so a watchdog that does not SIGSTOP the command first always lets
it print "late" after the deadline. Fails 3 of 3 on the pre-fix watchdog,
passes 3 of 3 on the current one.

* test: live codex smokes run codex in a private HOME and CODEX_HOME

codex-resume-flag-semantics and codex-e2e-sol-scope probe the codex CLI (the
latter at module load, in every free run), and every codex run writes
$CODEX_HOME/tmp/arg0, so with a real codex on PATH they wrote into the
developer's ~/.codex. Both now give codex a private HOME and CODEX_HOME and
remove it afterwards. A free test runs each file against a stub codex that
records HOME and CODEX_HOME and asserts neither is the caller's.

* feat(ship): a red eval runs classify, measure, fix, re-measure, gate once (A6)

Step 6 no longer stops at the first red paid eval: it reads the new lazily
loaded measure section and runs the loop for each red case, and Step 5
measures a failed free-suite shard (diagnostic reruns, retry off) before
the triage can call it pre-existing. The section states the diagnostic-
not-verdict rule, the per-kind table, the ask-once and named-red stops,
the unmeasured label and the honest-fix wording (observed k/n after fix
at <cause>). A free test pins the steps and their order in the generated
skill and checks every command and flag it names exists in the runner.

Ship's parity cap rises to 1.455 (measured 272,944 / 187,706 = 1.4541).

* docs(testing): diagnostic measurement is not a verdict; per-kind measure table (A6)

* test(ship): seeded-flake paid case for the measure loop (A6, periodic, behavior)

A fixture repo with no remote documents a single-case eval command and a
gate command, both free local stubs. queue-priorities claims trial slots
with atomic mkdir (reset per ship-measure round) and fails slots 2, 5 and
9 while src/priorities.js leaves its seed-shuffled list unsorted, printing
failure_cause and failure_detail that name the line. The paid case gives
/ship's generated Step 6 and measure section to a live session and asserts
it measured the case alone, fixed the named line without touching the
eval, re-measured at least 10 passing trials on the sorted file, and only
then ran the gate once; any question other than the spend question is a
contract violation.

A free test measures the fixture through the real ship-measure CLI: 7/10
unsorted, 7/10 after an unrelated edit with the gate still red (ENG-13's
negative control), 10/10 after the sort with the gate green.

* test(cso): the missing-scanner case points Docker at a dead socket

'an optional scanner prerequisite does not turn completed manual coverage
partial' assumed no usable Docker. On a machine with Docker and a pulled
gitleaks image the scan completed and the test failed (also on main). The
scan step now gets a DOCKER_HOST that cannot connect, which is the
prerequisite-missing condition the test describes.

* fix: Aside prompts travel as agent-written files, never inside the command

The open-ended reading recipe (browse, devex-review), scrape's fuzzy-intent
read and the shared web-research block put the model's question, query and
reply format inside a double-quoted _aside_exec argument, where backticks and
$(...) from page or repo text would run. The agent now writes the prompt into
a private .gstack/tmp file; the send block rebuilds the path from the printed
basename, refuses when the file is empty, and passes "$(cat "$PROMPT_FILE")".
The fixed read-only sentence stays in the shell source.

aside-driver pins move from the inline prompt to the file-based send block.

* fix: design briefs and approval feedback travel as agent-written files

Design briefs went into $D variants/generate/check as a double-quoted
argument, and approval feedback was spliced into a single-quoted echo of JSON,
so a quote, backtick or $(...) in either broke the command or ran. The agent
now writes each brief into a private .gstack/tmp file and the block passes
--brief "$(cat "$BRIEF_FILE")" (the CLI's --brief-file expects a JSON
brief, so plain text uses --brief). variants and the later check reuse the
same brief file. approved.json is built with jq -n from --arg values and
--rawfile feedback, so the feedback is data. The office-hours mockup flow
creates its brief and feedback files in one block.

design-approval-flow now writes the feedback file (with quotes, backticks and
$(...) in it) instead of substituting <FEEDBACK>, and checks the file is
removed after the save.

* fix: carve office-hours on every host to stay under the 160,000-byte ceiling

With its brief, feedback and research prompts moved into files, the inlined
office-hours render is 161,329 bytes on Codex and 160,302 on Factory, over
SKILL_BYTE_CEILING, so gen-skill-docs --host all fails. Per the C4 policy
(carve every skill whose external render exceeds the ceiling), office-hours
joins ship and plan-ceo-review in CARVED_ON_EVERY_HOST. The Claude render is
unchanged; external hosts read its sections relative to the installed skill.
external-host-carve and qa-lazy-sections now include office-hours in their
carved-skill lists.

* chore: regenerate after the free-text mktemp guard

* fix(codex): prompts and review focus travel as agent-written files

Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com>

Challenge and consult prompts, and the /codex review focus text, are written
by the agent into private .gstack/tmp files and fed to Codex on stdin or read
back with cat; no heredoc carries them. Consult's new and resumed runs share
one block (and one parser) so no placeholder stands in for the parser; a
resumed run reads its session id from .context/codex-session-id and checks it.
Adds the A3 group 2 placeholder allowlist block.

* fix(land-and-deploy): PR head repository and branch travel as data

Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com>

The branch check reads headRepository/headRefName from gh's JSON into quoted
shell variables; ls-remote, the confirm-first delete and the local delete use
those variables instead of model-substituted names. The postfail test now pins
the variable form it replaces.

* fix(ship): PR body drafts and rejected test paths are agent-written files

Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com>

The PR body is written into two private drafts (through ## Documentation, and
from ## Test plan on); the scan block splices Step 14.5's section between them
into the scanned temp file and deletes the drafts. Rejected test paths are read
from a written list, and paths outside the repository are skipped. Tests that
ran the old heredoc blocks now write the drafts and list first.

* fix(sync-gbrain): orchestrator flags must match an allowlisted grammar

Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix: the gbrain page save and external-host placeholders pass the free-text rule

The gbrain save block passed the whole page through a quoted heredoc inside
--content; the agent now writes it to a mktemp file and gbrain put reads it
on stdin. The Claude Code outside-voice runtime root and session mode, and
the feature slug, join the allowlist with grammars; unused entries are
dropped, and a test keeps every allowlisted placeholder tied to a real use.

* fix: skill-specific Aside research queries travel as prompt files

investigate, office-hours, plan-ceo-review, review, plan-eng-review,
design-consultation Phase 2, the shared test bootstrap (B2) and QA's test
bootstrap each carried their own _aside_exec call with the model-filled query
inside a double-quoted argument. Skills that already carry the Web research
block now give only the prompt-file text and use that block to create, write
and send it; design-consultation, the shared bootstrap and QA create the file
and send it with the new {{ASIDE_RESEARCH_SEND}} resolver, which is the same
send block the research section uses (read-only sentence stays in the shell).

aside-driver's B2 pin and qa-browser-preservation's bootstrap contract move
from the inline call to the prompt file and the shared send resolver.

* fix: prose design commands pass briefs and feedback as data

The DESIGN_SETUP command list taught `iterate --feedback "..."`, and
design-consultation's late-change and plan-design-review's slop-regenerate
lines showed `--feedback "<feedback>"` / `"..."`; design-shotgun's retry
showed `generate --brief "<brief>"` and `evolve --brief "<brief>"`. Feedback
now reads "$(cat "$FEEDBACK_FILE")" from an agent-written mktemp file
(the setup note says how), and the shotgun retry reads the variant's own brief
out of briefs.json with jq instead of retyping it.

* test: record parity sizes after the free-text file mechanism; refresh ship goldens

Measured union and skeleton sizes for ship, plan-eng-review,
plan-design-review, office-hours, design-consultation, review, qa, browse
and design-shotgun after every posting, prompt and brief site moved to
agent-written mktemp files; the ship goldens pick up the question-tuning
slug and the dropped free_text field.

* test: parity caps for the combined wave head (rounded up past the measured ratio)

* fix(plan-ceo-review): the mode handoff helper reminds the model to lead its chat with the line (#3038)

Periodic run 37272185151's auto-decide-preserved red replays as the Step 0E
handoff-line class: the model ran gstack-ceo-mode-handoff --auto, got the
exact line, then opened its chat with a heading and a paraphrase, so the
user never saw the auto-decide line (the terminal collapses tool output)
and the detector saw no outcome. The helper now prints a one-line reminder
on stderr beside the line; the detector accepts the line followed by that
reminder and nothing else. The ship Greptile check test reads its template
(test-of-test ratchet).

* test: every troubleshooting link in shipped code resolves, relative or full URL

* docs(todos): Oct 6 fix-wave follow-ups

* v1.91.32.0 release notes: Codex works from zsh, free text never enters shell commands, honest failures

* fix(plan-ceo-review): show the mode handoff line through a PostToolUse hook, not model compliance (#3038)

The stderr reminder beside the handoff line measured 1/10 on
auto-decide-preserved: the model still opened its chat with a paraphrase
('I've set review mode to HOLD SCOPE...'), so the user never saw the line and
the detector saw no outcome. /plan-ceo-review now declares a Claude-only
PostToolUse hook that shows the helper's exact line as a system message.
Diagnostic measurement on this head: 10/10, the line visible in every trial
while no trial's chat led with it. The reminder is reverted.

* fix: type the handoff hook's line filter

* fix: repairs from the integrated free suite

- The self-locate markers looked like heredocs to the pipe-deadlock guard;
  they are plain comment fences now.
- The spawned block keeps the canonical 'conservative non-destructive'
  phrase the cross-surface drift guard pins.
- The free-text block's mktemp refusal says 'mktemp failed', as every
  /codex temp file must.
- The batch transcript read reports sizes in MiB.
- docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md gets a real 'Ship measure' heading for its
  anchor.
- The early-question harness admits /plan-ceo-review's handoff hook by its
  exact command (it only adds a system message); any other PostToolUse Bash
  hook is still refused.
- Paid file count and the unconsumed-file example follow the new seeded
  case; ship goldens refreshed.
- The CSO scanner test points Docker at a dead socket, so a machine with the
  pulled image does not scan.

* test(cso): a host with no Docker binary is also a no-scan host

The missing-image scan test failed on a Docker-less VM (docker is not
installed in a trusted directory). Every accepted message is a reason the
scan cannot run here; the not_assessed, helper-owned artifact assertions are
unchanged.

* ci: split the USERPROFILE assignment from export (SC2155)

* fix(browse): Windows runtime roots read .source-path as a native path (#3026)

The new windows-setup-e2e journey showed the installed browse could not
start its server. setup runs under Git Bash and wrote .source-path as an
MSYS path (/d/a/gstack); Node read it as \d\a\gstack on the current drive,
found nothing, and fell back to the root's own bundle, which cannot import
playwright. setup now writes cygpath -m, and the CLI maps an MSYS drive path
for installs written by an older setup. The journey prints the daemon and
startup logs when the chain fails.

* fix(ship-measure): defects from the parallel #3034 plan review

- A trial passes only with a JUnit testcase that executed and passed; a
  --case that selected nothing also exits 0.
- measure runs a no-cost --list preflight that must plan the case's own
  file before any paid trial.
- Diagnostic trials drop EVALS_CACHE_DIR/EVALS_CACHE_RUNTIME_ID, so they
  never reuse a stored judge pass or publish one the gate could reuse.
- Gate once: when CI runs the gate on push, the push is the gate run; the
  skill no longer also starts eval:bg:pr (a second paid gate).
- ubi-runner: down fails unless the VM is confirmed gone, and nothing
  sweeps other runners' VMs by default (UBI_GC_HOURS opt-in).

* test(windows): the seeded-flake fixture drives a POSIX shell stub, so it stays off the Windows lane

CreateProcess cannot exec the fixture's ./evals.sh shebang script (status
null on windows-free-shard 6). The measure runner is covered on Windows by
ship-measure.test.ts, which uses in-process fake runners.

* fix: the free-text block refuses an unset temp dir instead of writing at /

The rendered block ran mktemp "$_GT/..." with _GT unset in the portability
test; on Linux that fails at /, but Git Bash on Windows can write to its
install root, so the block went on (windows-free-shard 3). It now uses
${_GT:?}, so an unset directory always fails closed with the mktemp
message.

* test: pin the guarded ${_GT:?} temp-file form

* test: the Greptile check's gh stub uses a portable shebang

On Windows the absolute bash path has a space, so the stub never ran and
every case read 'gh not logged in' (windows-free-shard 1).

* test: the Greptile check runs with the native PATH and the gh stub first

The PATH-only stub bin could not run its stub on Windows (every case read
'gh not logged in'). Stub cases now keep the real PATH with the stub first;
only the no-gh case drops directories holding a real gh.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 394db326f2 v1.71.0.0 feat: token-load reduction — preamble runtime scripts, gated onboarding, 20 skill carves, CLAUDE.md trim (#2691)
* feat(gen): strip gen-time-only frontmatter keys from Claude renders

interactive + benefits-from are read from the .tmpl by buildContext at
generation time; no runtime, host, or test reader consumes them from the
generated SKILL.md (e2e-harness-audit reads .tmpl; benefits-from tests
assert rendered prose). gbrain: stays (bin/gstack-brain-context-load reads
it from the installed render); hooks: stays (Claude Code host wires
PreToolUse from it).

* chore(gen): regenerate SKILL.md — dead frontmatter keys removed

Mechanical regen after hosts/claude.ts stripFields change.

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

* feat(test): context-budget ratchet — CI ceilings on always-on + eager token ledgers

New free test grades the two ledgers nothing else guards: the full-frontmatter
always-on catalog (aggregate) and per-skill eager tokens (SKILL.md +
forced-read refs), via checkBudget from lib/context-bill.ts. Ceilings live in
test/fixtures/context-budget.json with x1.05/x1.10 headroom; regenerate with
bun test/helpers/capture-context-budget.ts. New skills fail until consciously
budgeted; removed skills fail until the fixture is refreshed; reductions
ratchet the ceilings down so wins lock in.

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

* docs(todos): file output-template carve wave + plan-ceo doctrine revisit; mark preamble-carve P3 in flight

Two follow-ups deferred from the approved token-reduction program (CEO review
'NOT in scope' list), filed with full context per TODOS format. The existing
P3 preamble-carve entry gets a status update pointing at the program that
supersedes it.

* fix(test): review findings — Windows path normalization, full totals rebuild, ratchet coverage

Pre-landing review (5 specialists) found one critical: the ratchet test runs
in the curated Windows lane, where path.relative yields backslash skill names
that miss the test/ filter and mismatch every POSIX fixture key. Names are now
normalized once in buildRatchetBill (toPosixName) and the fixture filter is
tightened to test/fixtures/. All eight Bill.totals fields are rebuilt from the
filtered list (no fixture-polluted perInvocation/totalMd numbers for future
consumers). New coverage: Windows-separator normalization pins, a
captureContextBudget round-trip against tree-a (headroom math exact), a
stripFields regression pin (interactive/benefits-from absent from renders,
hooks/gbrain preserved), and the ceilings test no longer double-reports
stale-fixture entries.

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

* fix(test): adversarial findings — stable root key, symlink-alias dedupe, fixture-shape guard

Adversarial review (Claude subagent) verified the fixture's root-skill key was
the capture machine's checkout dirname: any non-gstack-named clone (every
Conductor worktree) failed the free suite, and the documented re-run-the-capture
recovery baked the local dirname into the committed fixture — silent corruption
through the tool's own protocol. The root skill is now pinned to ROOT_SKILL_KEY
('gstack', its frontmatter name). Symlink aliases are realpath-deduped (census
precedent): connect-chrome no longer gets its own ceiling, so Windows checkouts
that materialize the symlink as a plain file can't fail the stale-ceiling
set-equality test. New guards: fixture-shape validation (a string alwaysOnTotal
can no longer silently disable the ceiling), a mutation pin that the filter
shrinks the always-on ledger vs the raw bill, an alwaysOnTotal violation test
(the branch was load-bearing with only under-budget coverage), and an atomic
temp+rename fixture write. Fixture regenerated: 59 ceilings, alwaysOnTotal 6344.
Deferred with a TODO: anchoring transformFrontmatter's denylist strip to the
frontmatter block (latent, zero live collisions, pre-existing path).

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

* docs: update project documentation for v1.69.1.0

CLAUDE.md: Token ceiling section documents the context-budget ratchet as
the third guard (test file, fixture, new-skill budgeting, capture command).
CONTRIBUTING.md: Tier 1 guard list gains a Context-budget ratchet bullet;
the Adding-a-new-skill checklist gains the budget-capture step.

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

* docs: pin exact guard semantics for the context-budget ratchet in CLAUDE.md

Doc-review finding: "a third enforced ceiling" undercounted the guard
family (skill-size-budget floors and parity ratios also watch these
ledgers, relatively). Rephrased to match the ratchet test's own header:
absolute ceilings vs relative floors/ratios.

* docs(changelog): heaviest-skill claim matches the fixture (land-and-deploy edges review by 0.2%)

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

* feat(bin): gstack-skill-start + gstack-skill-end — the preamble runtime, consolidated

Absorbs the ~13KB of bash every tier-2+ SKILL.md inlined twice over (bootstrap
fence + artifacts-sync fence) and the skill-end telemetry/sync fences. Same
KEY: value STATUS-line contract the prose interprets, plus SKILL_START_PROTO
handshake (OV5), SESSION_ID/TEL_START echoes, GSTACK_HOME-normalized state
paths (EOV7), --parent-pid session identity (EOV5: $PPID inside the script is
the ephemeral tool-call shell), OV4 sanitization of passthrough output, and a
receipted daily artifacts pull (_receipted_git, brain-sync class, fail-closed).
Per-line || true error style throughout (F3) — a mid-script failure never drops
later STATUS lines.

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

* feat(gen): preamble resolvers emit a script invocation fence instead of inline bash

generate-preamble-bash: ~6.3KB fence -> 4-line gstack-skill-start invocation
(quoted-tilde pitfall handled: leading ~ interpolates through $HOME; env-var
hosts keep $GSTACK_BIN) + degraded-mode prose (F1/EOV8: safe defaults, consent
gates deferred-never-lost; OV5: proto rule). generate-brain-sync-block: ~6.8KB
bash -> interpretation prose + the privacy stop-gate (stays inline until
Phase 2's gated emission). generate-completion-status: telemetry fence -> one
gstack-skill-end call with SESSION_ID/TEL_START handoff.

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

* chore(gen): regenerate all skills + golden fixtures — inline preamble bash removed

Mechanical regen after the resolver change: −12,628 lines across 52 renders
(corpus 952K -> 806K render tokens; tier-2 skills −11-13KB each). Golden
per-host ship fixtures refreshed from the fresh claude/codex/factory renders.

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

* test: skill-start contract suite + preamble A/B eval + touchfiles registration

test/gstack-skill-start.test.ts (11 free tests): STATUS-key contract vs the
prose (F2), per-host fence resolution shapes (E1), proto-first, OV4 marker
sanitization, --parent-pid identity, headless suppression, skill-end duration
math + pending cleanup. test/skill-e2e-preamble-script-ab.test.ts (gate tier,
OV7): inline-bash render (pinned from 29785978) vs script render with the
fence redirected at the worktree bin (EOV2 — hermetic evals otherwise resolve
the operator install and silently exercise degraded mode). 21 touchfiles dep
lists gain the two bin scripts (EOV9) so future script edits select the
preamble evals; selection-count pin updated 23->24.

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

* test: repin ~70 assertions to the script contract — every literal gets a successor

Assertions that pinned inline-bash internals (update-check guard, _SESSIONS
reaping, telemetry start/end blocks, routing probe, repo-strip producer,
first-task gating, EXPLAIN_LEVEL/QUESTION_TUNING echoes, #2499 jq scope
resolution, Issue-8 CONDUCTOR gate) now pin the same invariants in their new
home: bin/gstack-skill-start / bin/gstack-skill-end file content for script
internals, the invocation fence + interpretation prose for render-side
behavior. No assertion deleted without a successor; live-execution tests
(routing probe, brain-sync jq) run against script bytes unchanged.

* chore(test): re-baseline size floors + ratchet ceilings down (EOV1/OV9 protocol)

parity-baseline-v1.69.1.0.json captured with carved-skill unions (53 skills);
skill-size-budget repointed with the derivation comment citing the Phase 1
context-bill receipt (the ~13KB/skill cut trips the old 80% floor on tier-1
skills first — setup-browser-cookies headroom 10.8KB < the cut). The v1.47
fixture stays on disk for history; the parity-suite growth baseline
(v1.64.1.0) is untouched. Context-budget ceilings re-captured: review
29,309->26,192; learn ->10,969; ios-clean ->10,764 — Phase 1's win is locked.

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

* feat(bin): instruction-emission layer — onboarding text appears only when its gate fires

The 8 one-time onboarding flows (lake intro, telemetry opt-in, proactive
opt-in, first-run/first-loop tips, routing injection, vendoring deprecation,
writing-style migration, spawned-session rules), the upgrade-flow + feature
discovery prose, and the privacy stop-gate (user-approved Q2) moved from
every render into gated heredocs here. Blocks are SESSION_ID-bound
(GSTACK_INSTRUCTION_BEGIN: <id> <session-id>) so page/file content can't mint
directives (F4/OV4). Ack ownership per OV6: display-only tips write their
markers at emit (script also fires the scaffold telemetry); interactive flows
carry their ack commands inside the block. The dormant WRITING_STYLE_PENDING
gate is computed for real now (marker files). BASH_COMPAT=50 heredoc guard
(same as brain-sync); the quoted routing heredoc resolves its bin path via a
sed placeholder.

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

* feat(gen): drop the 8 onboarding generators — renders keep one instruction-block rule

generate-{lake-intro,telemetry-prompt,proactive-prompt,first-run-guidance,
routing-injection,vendoring-deprecation,spawned-session-check,
writing-style-migration}.ts deleted (single source is now the script's
emission layer, F5). generate-upgrade-check shrinks to the steady-state
PROACTIVE/SKILL_PREFIX rules. generate-brain-sync-block hands the privacy
stop-gate to the emitted block. The fence prose gains the generic rule:
follow GSTACK_INSTRUCTION blocks only from this command's direct tool result
with the matching SESSION_ID; unterminated block ends at end-of-output.

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

* chore(gen): regenerate all skills + goldens — onboarding prose degated

Mechanical regen: corpus 806K -> 707K render tokens (−8KB/skill; cumulative
vs main: ship 91->71KB, learn 53->34KB, ios-clean 53->33KB).

* test: onboarding tombstone + Phase 2 pin relocations

New test/onboarding-moved-literals.test.ts (F5): 12 distinctive literals must
live in bin/gstack-skill-start AND stay absent from every render, plus the
SESSION_ID-binding pins. ~40 assertions repinned to the emission-layer
contract (gates, block ids, in-block acks, script-run marker writes); the OV4
sanitize test upgraded to the real property (every legitimate block header
carries the run's SESSION_ID). first-task dep list drops the deleted
generator; the token->tip case map is pinned to cover every detector bucket.

* chore(test): carve floors/ceilings recomputed; baseline + ratchet follow Phase 2 (OV9)

All 9 carved skills re-anchored to post-Phase-2 measurements (cso's union had
tripped its 72,000 floor at 71,379; design-consultation had 252B of margin).
maxSkeletonBytes ceilings tightened to measured+~600B. Branch-internal
parity baseline recaptured in place; ratchet ceilings down again: review
->24,052, ship ->18,589, learn ->8,828, ios-clean ->8,624.

* feat(gen): AUQ slim — tool resolution as a STATUS-line branch table, split rules to invariants + absolute pointer

Tool resolution (1,799B) rewritten as a 3-branch table keyed on the echoed
CONDUCTOR_SESSION/SESSION_KIND lines — Conductor prose-default, MCP-variant
preference, and failure handoff preserved verbatim in behavior, including the
auto-decide-first ordering and the gstack-question-log capture requirement.
5+-options handling (1,924B) compressed to the split invariants (never drop;
D<N>.k shape; Include/Defer/Cut/Hold; question_id scheme with the never-ask
refusal) + the full-rule pointer. Both doc pointers now interpolate the
absolute install root (Codex outside-voice #7 convention) instead of the bare
'in the gstack repo'. Failure-fallback, Format, and self-check sections are
byte-identical — all 14 MANDATORY always-loaded pins pass with zero test
edits.

* chore(gen): regenerate all skills + goldens — AUQ slim

Mechanical regen: −1.3KB per tier-2+ skill (ship 69.9KB, learn 32.5KB).

* chore(test): baseline + ratchet follow Phase 3 (OV9); OV8 evaluated — shrink floor stays

Branch-internal baseline recaptured; ratchet ceilings down again. OV8's
floor-retirement question, evaluated as planned after Phase 3: the 80% shrink
floor stays — it uniquely catches accidental body deletion in non-carved
skills BETWEEN ratchet recaptures, and the capture command has amortized the
fixture-refresh cost that motivated retiring it.

* feat(review): carve adversarial, plan-completion, and review-army into sections

The three resolver macros ship already carves as siblings now load on demand
for /review too: skeleton 100.2KB -> 55.0KB (-45%), union 93.4KB. Resolvers
stay the single source of truth (sections wrap the macros). Step 0/1, scope
drift, critical pass, confidence calibration, and fix-first stay always-loaded.
Fixtures and pins follow the moved content (codex-hardening wrapped-sites,
review-army E2E fixture builds skeleton+sections with an empty-fixture guard).

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

* feat(codex): carve the three mutually exclusive modes into sections

Review/Challenge/Consult mode bodies (34.7KB where at most one ever runs)
load on demand: skeleton 81.0KB -> 55.2KB, union 1.04x the monolith. The mode
dispatch, filesystem boundary, and a new always-loaded 'Synthesis
recommendation (REQUIRED) — all modes' block stay skeleton-side (the AUQ
per-skill pins pass unchanged); the plan-file report + exit gate render after
the last section pointer per the gateAfterStop pattern.

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

* feat(land-and-deploy): carve first-run validation, readiness gate, and merge/deploy into sections

The once-per-repo dry-run validation, the pre-merge readiness gate, and the
merge + deploy-strategy steps (37.8KB) load on demand: skeleton 91.1KB ->
55.7KB. Step 1.5 keeps its detection bash as the dispatch; the first-run
section's fingerprint-save block gained {{SLUG_EVAL}} so it is self-contained.
Zero content lost (line-coverage checked against HEAD).

* feat(ios): demote the four ios skills to preamble-tier 2 (Phase 5)

They never consume the tier-3 sections (repo-mode ownership, search-before-
building) but do fire AskUserQuestion, which tier >=2 provides — verified by
grep before the plan review. -2.2KB per skill. Render assertions pin the
demotion (tier-3 sections absent, AUQ format present).

* chore(guards): register wave-1 carves; monolith invariants retire; baselines + ratchet follow

CARVE_GUARDS gains review/codex/land-and-deploy (12 carved skills total);
their MONOLITH_INVARIANTS entries retire (invariants now generate from the
registry, cso precedent). Touchfiles: carve-section-loading covers the three
new carves; the codex + land-and-deploy LLM-judge dep lists widen to their
sections. Regen + goldens + branch-internal baseline + ratchet ceilings
recaptured (review 24,052 -> skeleton-based ceiling; union floors hold).

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

* test(gen-skill-docs): review render pins read the carved union

The review carve's readSkillUnion conversions (same pattern its neighbor
carved-skill pins already use).

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

* feat(autoplan): carve the four review phases + tasks aggregator into sections

Phase bodies (CEO/Design/Eng/DX consensus flows) and the Implementation Tasks
aggregator load on demand; Design and DX stay separate sections because each
is independently conditional on scope. Skeleton 83.7KB -> 58.7KB (-30%
always-loaded); the 6 decision principles, classification, sequencing, and
explicit skip-condition dispatch stay always-loaded. The chain E2E's
phase-complete markers now live only in sections, so its assertions double as
section-read proof (behavioral: external).

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

* feat(spec): carve the post-confirmation gate-and-file tail into one section

Phases 1-4 are the turn-1 conversational spine — carving them would force the
Read on the first user message for zero real savings. The mechanical tail
(4.5/4.5a/4.5b redaction gates + Phase 5 filing + TTHW telemetry) fires only
after draft confirmation: a genuine lazy boundary, kept as ONE section so the
gh-issue-create bash can never load without the fail-closed redaction gate
that precedes it. Skeleton 65.4KB -> 50.7KB; all ~85 phase-structure
invariants migrated location-aware plus a new carve-shape suite (56 tests).

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

* feat(setup-gbrain): carve the branch-exclusive install paths into sections

Brain-init (Paths 1/2/3/4 bodies), engine remediation, transcript gate, and
CLAUDE.md persist load on demand — at most one install route ever runs.
Skeleton 75.3KB -> 57.0KB; the Step 1 detect and Step 2 path dispatch stay
always-loaded. New buildSetupGbrainFixture helper gives the periodic E2Es
extract-don't-copy fixtures with a non-empty guard; the voyage-code-3 gate
counts scan the tmpl union (the third init site lives in engine-remediation).

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

* chore(guards): register wave-2 carves (15 carved skills); autoplan monolith retires; baselines follow

CARVE_GUARDS gains autoplan (behavioral: external via the chain eval), spec,
and setup-gbrain; autoplan's MONOLITH_INVARIANTS entry retires. Touchfiles:
setup-gbrain periodic dep lists gain the section tmpls + fixture helper; the
stale-brain-refs scan covers setup-gbrain/sections. Regen + goldens + branch
baseline + ratchet recaptured.

* feat(qa): carve QA patterns + health rubric into on-demand sections (68→48KB skeleton)

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

* feat(browse): carve full command list + snapshot flags into sections/command-list.md (39→27KB skeleton)

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

* feat(retro): absorb inline git/awk metrics into bin/gstack-retro-metrics + carve report format

RETRO_METRICS_PROTO: 1 contract, local git reads only (fetch stays in the
skill prose), degraded path documented in the skeleton.

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

* test: register wave-3 carves (qa, browse, retro) — guards, touchfiles, pins, baselines

CARVE_GUARDS gains the three entries; qa's monolith invariant retires.
auq-format carve-safety now keys on the skeleton+sections union shipping
the AUQ block (first tier-1 carve: browse never renders it by design).
Baselines: parity v1.69.1.0 at 18 sectioned skills; ratchet recaptured.

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

* fix(test): drop stale generate-lake-intro import (generator deleted in the emission-layer move)

Sol scope discipline stays pinned via the model overlay + completeness
section; the lake intro is now a single script-emitted blurb.

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

* feat(office-hours): carve Phase 2A/2B into mode-exclusive sections (81→67KB skeleton)

A session runs exactly one mode, so a builder session never loads the
13KB startup diagnostic. Mode mapping and the vibe-shift upgrade rule
stay in the skeleton.

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

* feat(design): carve UX doctrine + Pretext patterns into read-on-demand sections

design-html 57→49KB, design-shotgun 53→50KB. Sections wrap
{{UX_PRINCIPLES}} so scripts/resolvers/design.ts stays the source of
truth; the pretext-patterns STOP sits at the top of Step 3 so the read
provably precedes the Write.

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

* test: register wave-4 carves (office-hours ext, design-html, design-shotgun) — 20 carved skills

Both design entries carry requiredReads + loading-eval scenarios (D3A
condition). office-hours phase sections are mode-exclusive, so only the
always-reached design/handoff section is a deterministic requiredRead.
Baselines and ratchet recaptured.

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

* docs: trim CLAUDE.md 66.4→44.9KB — verbatim moves to docs/, pointers stay inline

Moved: browser/sidebar/server internals, CHANGELOG release-summary format
spec, project tree, hermetic-E2E detail, slop-scan reference, OpenClaw
publishing. Kept inline: every hard behavioral rule (dist/ ban, redaction
scan-at-sink, egress receipts, bisect commits, eval detach, CHANGELOG
entry rules), the machine-managed GBrain block (byte-identical), and the
'## Deploying to the active skill' header with gbrain-refresh in range
(pinned by test/gbrain-refresh-install-render.test.ts). No voice rewrites.

* fix(test): seed onboarding markers into the hermetic child GSTACK_HOME

EOV7 made bin/gstack-skill-start honor GSTACK_HOME, so the operator-HOME
seeding in e2e-helpers.ts no longer reaches hermetic children — the
emission layer fired lake-intro/telemetry prompts that burned turns and
stalled PTY tests waiting on an answer (observed: plan-mode-no-op derailed
by the telemetry question). Onboarding-specific tests pin their own
GSTACK_HOME per-test, which merges over this seed.

* test: raise carve-section-loading wall clock to 480s SDK / 540s bun

The heavy full-workflow scenarios satisfy their required section reads
inside 60s but need 300-450s to finish the report on slower sandboxes;
the 300s default read as a loading failure when the carve invariant held
(traces: plan-eng-review read its section at 8s, office-hours all three
at 24s, design-html both at 50s — all timed out mid-report).

* fix(security): harden the skill-start trust boundary — review-army findings

Session ID gains a urandom suffix (block binding unforgeable by reflected
content); _sanitize also neutralizes spoofed SESSION_ID: lines; branch
names are charset-clamped before JSON embedding (skill-start + skill-end);
.brain-last-push reads first line only with a charset clamp; the artifacts
URL echo routes through _sanitize; the privacy consent gate fires in
interactive sessions only (spawned auto-choose could accept consent no
human gave — emission order is not a safety property); the daily pull gets
non-interactive + slow-network git guards and stamps only when the
receipted path ran; ~/.claude.json gets a grep pre-filter before the jq
parse.

* fix(resolvers): question-log session_id becomes a substitution placeholder + stale-comment sweep

The question-log block bound $_SESSION_ID, a shell variable the
consolidated fence never sets — hook-less hosts logged empty session_id,
breaking /plan-tune per-session grouping. It now uses the same
substitute-from-the-skill-start-echoes contract as the telemetry block.
Also: retired the pre-Phase-2 stop-gate docstring, repointed the
gbrain-local-status cross-reference at the script's inline jq, dropped an
orphaned section comment, documented retro-metrics' suffix-only census.

* chore: regenerate renders for the question-log placeholder; goldens + baselines follow

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

* test: hermetic update-check, onboarding gate sequencing, seeding parity

The contract test's child did a live git ls-remote + curl to github.com on
every bun run test (update_check config now gates it off); the headless
test gets a fresh GSTACK_HOME so the suppression is actually exercised; a
new OV6 test drives the script three times to pin ack-at-emit and gate
sequencing; hermetic seeding covers the config-keyed privacy gate; the
EVALS_HERMETIC=0 debug seeding reaches marker parity.

* test(ci): demote the preamble A/B to periodic (OV7) and add it to the periodic matrix

Post-Phase-3 demotion per the plan; the eval needs fetch-depth 0 (it git
shows a pre-Phase-1 sha), which only the periodic workflow provides — and
a static matrix entry so it can't silently never run.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.70.0.0)

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

* docs: update project documentation for v1.70.0.0

ARCHITECTURE.md: the preamble section now describes the v1.70 runtime —
the rendered {{PREAMBLE}} block invokes bin/gstack-skill-start and reads
STATUS lines, gstack-skill-end logs telemetry, and one-time onboarding
text arrives as gated GSTACK_INSTRUCTION blocks instead of riding in
every render.

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

* docs: doc-review fixes — repair moved-file links, drop unbacked session-count claim

docs/BROWSER_INTERNALS.md: the two ARCHITECTURE.md anchor links broke when
the section moved from repo-root CLAUDE.md into docs/ — now ../ARCHITECTURE.md.
ARCHITECTURE.md: the preamble's session-tracking item claimed an active-session
count and an "ELI16 mode" that no shipped code implements (the count
computation was deleted with the inline preamble); describe the real
touch-and-prune behavior instead.

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

* docs(changelog): correct numeric claims against measured counts

50 of 62 installed skills dropped (fixture/alias entries have no preamble);
11 new carves + a deeper office-hours carve = 9→20; test counts match the
files (13 / 11 / 3 / 7).

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

* docs: repoint the preamble-runtime version reference after the queue rebump (v1.71.0.0)

* test(e2e-design): widen the Aesthetic synonym set — vocabulary variance, not a regression

Both attempts in run 33090283032 produced judge-praised DESIGN.md files
phrased as 'design principles'/'design language' without any of the four
original literals; inputs were identical to the prior passing run
32899975845 (design-consultation untouched by the intervening merge).

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

* fix(test): stage design-consultation's sections/ into the E2E fixture

The skill has been carved since v1.57.0.0 — the DESIGN.md structure
prescription (the AESTHETIC proposal template) lives in
sections/proposal-and-preview.md behind a STOP-read. The fixture only
copied SKILL.md, so the agent improvised structure from the skeleton and
the section-synonym check has been a coin flip since the carve (CI run
33090283032 trace shows 'no sections dir'; the local eval store has the
same failure on 2026-08-25 while that day's CI run passed on lucky
vocabulary).
