+4454 people	2db0b3adc8	v1.91.19.0 fix: severe fix wave (truthful gates, no lost memory, every host finds gstack) (#3025) ... * docs: approved severe fix wave plan (Oct 2026) * D0: keep a project's .env and bunfig.toml out of compiled binaries and daemon children Compiled binaries are built with --no-compile-autoload-dotenv and --no-compile-autoload-bunfig; the browse server and terminal agent are spawned with --no-env-file and an empty config, so a repo's .env cannot set GSTACK_CHROMIUM_NO_SANDBOX and a bunfig preload cannot run code in them. Verified on Bun 1.4.0. * A9: --no-write is a dry run and leaves ingest state untouched --no-write stamped every prepared page ingested_at and saved state, so a later real run skipped those pages forever. It now prepares and reports pages without importing or changing the state file. Tests that used GSTACK_MEMORY_INGEST_NO_WRITE / --no-write to seed state move to an explicit seam (a fake gbrain that accepts every staged page), because the --no-write contract deliberately changes. * H #2885 #2827: vector geometry is not phone or card PII pii.phone.e164 accepts "." as a group separator, so a single float (viewBox="0 0 581.66796875 ...") and a run of path coordinates ("37.6188 101.694") read as phone numbers. pii.cc's \b stops at a decimal point, so the long fraction of an .excalidraw float is a Luhn candidate. Excalidraw's seed/versionNonce/updated integers read as bare phone numbers. A rendered /diagram triplet raised 18 (svg) and 97 (excalidraw) MEDIUM findings on main; it now raises none. - looksLikeDecimalCoordinates (ported from #2885, extended to a single decimal and refusing a leading "+", the E.164 marker) - insideDecimalNumber: a cc span glued to "<digit>." or ".<digit>" - isNumericMetadataValue: an unquoted JSON value under a seed, nonce or timestamp key; the same digits under "phone" still report Controls: E.164 in prose, dotted and spaced phones, "+"-prefixed runs, "phone"/"contact" JSON numbers, Luhn-valid cards in prose and at sentence end. Co-authored-by: Lewis <lewispeel@hotmail.com> * D1: pin the terminal-agent /ws Origin to the gstack extension (#1324) GSTACK_EXTENSION_ID moves to browse/src/extension-id.ts, shared by /extension-token and the terminal agent's /ws gate. /ws now returns 403 for every origin except the pinned extension. Forks override the ID with gstack-config set browse_extension_id <id>, honored by both routes; the BROWSE_EXTENSION_ID env var is no longer read. Test sites that used fake extension IDs now use the pinned origin. * H #2899: env.kv skips a function call assigned to a credential name `session = _FlakySession(...)`, `token = make_token(user, ...)` and `password = getpass.getpass()` raised env.kv MEDIUM, which blocks the fail-closed decision log. The exemption needs the line's evidence, not the span's shape: the value is unquoted, is an identifier or dotted path followed by "(", and the call closes on the line or opens a multi-line argument list. Quoted values, unclosed "(" inside an unquoted secret (API_SECRET=Abc123xyz(9Qm) and calls carrying a high-entropy literal argument still report. The literal check is shared with the #2912 env-read exemption. Co-authored-by: Yugz <yannduzelier@gmail.com> * H #2962: per-machine config filenames are not internal hostnames `CLAUDE.local.md` and `settings.local.json` reported internal.hostname MEDIUM (the pattern's \b stops at the dot before the extension), which fails closed in the decision log. A span immediately followed by a known config extension (.md .json .jsonc .yaml .yml .toml .ini .conf .txt) and a word boundary is a filename. Controls: `ssh build.local`, `printer.local.` at a sentence end, `printer.local/md`, `printer.local.mdx`, a host with a port, `api.corp`, `build-7.internal`. The `.env.local` vectors (#2740) pass on main already via isDotenvFilename and are pinned here as regressions. Co-authored-by: Florian <florian.cleyetmerle@gmail.com> * H #2784: four-part versions need a version declaration, not a shape `"version": "1.128.1.0"`, `<Version>`, `AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")` and Keep a Changelog headings raised pii.ip_public MEDIUM on every release, because a four-part version is byte-for-byte a dotted quad. Exempt only when the same line declares it a version immediately before the value (a version key or word, an XML tag, an attribute call, or a `## [x]` heading). The same digits after host:/server =/"upstream", bare on a line, or after prose that merely mentions a version still report. Unlike #2784, this does not exempt a value because the same string is declared a version elsewhere in the text: that let a real address sharing a diff with a matching version slip. The pre-push hook's VERSION-file rule (#2856) is unchanged. Co-authored-by: cdecook23 <decook23@gmail.com> * H #2913: postgres:postgres is exempt only on a loopback host The postgres image's default pair in compose files and CI DATABASE_URLs blocked pushes as db.url_with_password HIGH. It is now exempt only for postgres/postgresql URLs with exactly postgres:postgres on localhost or 127.0.0.1 (optional port). A bare single-label host (`db`, `postgres`), any other host, a host that merely starts with localhost (`localhost.evil...`, `localhost@prod-db`), any other user or password, and other schemes still block. #2913 exempted the pair on any host; this keeps the plan's narrower rule. Co-authored-by: mb1810 <michael.berger1810@gmail.com> * G1: ship without a version when no version source is configured Resolve the version source to four outcomes (valid, absent, ambiguous, broken) in lib/version-source.ts and read that one signal in gstack-version-bump (new NO_VERSION state; write refuses to invent a VERSION), gstack-next-version (no_version, no slot), /ship's bump, CHANGELOG and title steps, /land-and-deploy's drift check and /document-release. A configured version file that is missing, empty, unreadable or malformed stops with its path; 0.0.0.0 is never substituted. docs/skills.md documents .gstack/version-path. Migrates two tests that pinned the old fabricated-0.0.0.0 behavior. Co-authored-by: Koda <koda@edgeviewfinance.com.au> Co-authored-by: Merit Blake <merit@newsprint.com> * H #2949: eval credential screen checks every name segment The hermetic eval env admits GITHUB_* and EVALS_* metadata but rejects credential-shaped names, judged only by the last underscore segment. A trailing qualifier carried a credential through: GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64, GITHUB_TOKEN_1, EVALS_API_KEY_FALLBACK reached eval children. The screen now rejects a name when any segment is a credential word; segments, not substrings, so GITHUB_PATH / GITHUB_TOKENIZER / GITHUB_KEYRING stay metadata, and explicit runner admissions still win. Co-authored-by: Nguyen Thanh Dat <ntdat812@gmail.com> * H #2915: cover chunked scanning of large multi-file push diffs Test-only coverage for behavior already on main: a clean two-file pushed diff over the engine's 1 MiB cap passes without engine.input_too_large, and a credential at the end of the second file (a later scan chunk) still blocks the push. Co-authored-by: pneumorea-ai <pneumorea@gmail.com> * A3: keep a project's DATABASE_URL away from a PGLite brain With a PGLite config, buildGbrainEnv returned the caller env unchanged, so a project's .env DATABASE_URL (autoloaded by Bun) reached gbrain: a false broken-db at best, gbrain talking to the app's own Postgres at worst. Inherited DATABASE_URL and GBRAIN_DATABASE_URL are now blanked for PGLite configs (GSTACK_RESPECT_ENV_DATABASE_URL=1 still keeps them), and every gbrain child runs from gbrain's config dir instead of the user's project, so it cannot reload the project's .env / .env.local. The old test that pinned pass-through for an engine:pglite config is migrated: pass-through now applies only to configs that name neither a database_url nor PGLite. Co-authored-by: maxpetrusenkoagent <max.petrusenko.agent@gmail.com> * C9: guard destructive gstack-upgrade and spec fences against unset or wrong paths Fresh-shell hosts (and Claude Code, which keeps cwd but not shell variables) ran cd "$INSTALL_DIR" with an empty variable, so git checkout/stash/reset targeted the user's project. Step 2 now prints an absolute path; every destructive fence starts with cd -- "${VAR:?...}" || exit 1 and checks it is gstack's own checkout before any git command. /spec's worktree and spawn fences get the same guard. * F4: keep every paid design variant across regenerate rounds $D variants now reserves a collision-safe round-<N>/ directory per run (atomic mkdir) and writes a manifest.json of what each round saved. The paid image request and the local write retry separately: a write failure retries the write (temp + rename) and, if the path stays unwritable, keeps the bytes in the temp dir instead of buying the image again. Responsive variants land in their round directory too. Readers updated: design-shotgun reserves a round dir and a private temp dir for its parallel agents and records approved_path/round in approved.json; design-html resolves approved_path (legacy letters still work) and finds round-dir variants; design-consultation checks the printed paths; the gallery shows round-dir variants. Variants that were already overwritten before this change cannot be recovered. Migrates the consultation contract test that pinned the flat path. Co-authored-by: Matt Van Horn <mvanhorn@gmail.com> * A2: stage dot-leading slugs gbrain can collect; network errors are db-unreachable A page slug segment starting with a dot (a .claude project) staged a file gbrain's import walker prunes, so the batch was refused on every run. Leading dots become "dot-" per segment, and slugs recorded in state under the old name map through the same function so no page is duplicated. A DNS or connection failure (ENOTFOUND, EAI_AGAIN, ECONNREFUSED, ...) no longer classifies as broken-db, which routed users to move a working config aside. The new db-unreachable status carries the reason "database host unreachable (<code> <host>); your gbrain config is unchanged. Fix: check network or VPN, then re-run /sync-gbrain.", skips local sync stages with that reason, and counts as usable for gstack-gbrain-detect --is-ok like timeout. Co-authored-by: Infiniteyieldai <infiniteyield.ai@gmail.com> * D2: one address classifier for navigation literals, DNS answers, redirects and page-driven navigations (#2811) classifyAddress() in url-validation.ts blocks 169.254.0.0/16 (metadata and container credential endpoints), 100.100.100.200, fe80::/10 and fc00::/7, including IPv4-mapped, IPv4-compatible and NAT64 spellings and decimal, octal and hex IPv4. validateNavigationUrl, the A/AAAA answer check and session-persist's cookie-domain guard all use it. BrowserManager now checks every navigation request (redirect hops, link clicks, scripted navigations): a blocked target resets the tab to about:blank and the write command fails with the reason. Connection-time DNS rebinding remains out of scope. Co-authored-by: Gabriel Rondon <grondon@gmail.com> * C4: external hosts point at carved sections relative to the installed skill Publishes the pointer form setup matches: on every non-Claude host a carved section is `sections/<file>` relative to the installed gstack-<skill> SKILL.md directory (QA's existing form), never $GSTACK_ROOT/<skill>/sections/, which does not exist in external runtime roots. No render changes yet: only QA is carved on external hosts today. * INV-1: gate outcome contract for outside reviews classifyOutsideReview() returns separate execution, findings and verdict fields from text, stderr and exit status; reason codes, anchors and fix actions live in lib/gate-outcomes.ts. validateOutsideReview() stays as the text-only wrapper and the two-argument CLI keeps exit 0/1/2 for importers and installed skills that predate a re-render. The --verdict form (implied by --stderr/--exit) prints VERDICT/FINDINGS/REASON and exits 0/3/4/1; the generated outside-voice caller moves to it and branches on each status (unverified prints OUTSIDE_STATUS: unverified, never completed). Adds docs/troubleshooting.md with one anchored section per reason code, the anchor test, and the gate-tail lint (query scripts may not swallow failures, gate calls may not end in || true, other best-effort tails say why). * G1: quote the base placeholder in document-release title sync The title-sync block is checked with bash -n; an unquoted <base> parses as a redirection. Migrates the test that pinned the old root VERSION read to the shared classifier call. * G3: give every logging-bin mktemp a ${TMPDIR:-/tmp} template Bare mktemp, mktemp -t and literal /tmp templates in the learnings, question and preference logs (plus jsonl-merge, distill, the two dashboards, /ship's PR body and /document-release's run dir) now use "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/<name>.XXXXXX", the form the INV-3 lint accepts. When the temp file cannot be created, the learnings, question and preference logs now say the entry was not recorded and how to fix TMPDIR instead of exiting with only mktemp's own error. Three tests that pinned the bare PR_BODY_FILE=$(mktemp) and one that pinned the /tmp run dir migrate. GNU and BSD mktemp already honor TMPDIR without a template, so the macOS-sandbox drop in #2952 is unverified here; the template makes the temp location explicit on every mktemp. Co-authored-by: Davon Johnson <d.johnson@dayofshow.net> * B1b: structured outside-review gate fails on P0 as well as P1 validateOutsideReview() derived its structured pass/fail from a [P1] match, so a review reporting only [P0] findings passed. The wrapper now reads the classifier's findings verdict (P0 or P1), and the /review and /ship structured-gate prose requests [P0]-[P3] tags and fails on P0/P1; untagged output (OUTSIDE_STATUS: unverified) is missing coverage. The ship clarity pin moves from 'structured P1' to 'structured P0/P1' with the behavior. * E1: freeze normalizes boundary and target the same way on Windows; hooks spawn through cmd.exe (#2876, #2354) gstack_hook_normalize_path (careful/bin/hook-extract.sh) maps C:\..., c:/..., UNC \\server\share (leading // kept) and /cygdrive/c to one form; check-freeze runs both the saved boundary and file_path through it before the absolute test, after symlink resolution, and compares case-insensitively on Windows bash. freeze, guard and careful register hooks as bash -c "exec bash \"$HOME/...\"" so cmd.exe, which never expands $HOME, no longer turns the hook into a silent exit 127. Co-authored-by: Kevin Grasso <kevin@biblingo.com> Co-authored-by: Xuan-Ce Wang <261591073+xwang4-svg@users.noreply.github.com> * G4: keep CLI-to-daemon loopback calls off HTTP_PROXY (#494) The CLI appends 127.0.0.1, localhost and ::1 to the user's NO_PROXY (and no_proxy), keeping existing entries, before its first fetch. Verified on Bun 1.4.0: fetch honors NO_PROXY when it is set before the first request and ignores later changes, so it is set at the top of main(). * F1: bind the plan audit to this branch's plan, never the newest file Plan File Discovery now prefers an explicit binding (the plan-mode file or /autoplan ACTIVE_PLAN from the conversation, then a "Plan: <path>" line in the PR body), then lists candidates: repo-committed docs/designs/ files this branch changed or that name it, and personal plan files that name the branch. Candidates are offered, never picked silently. The repo-name match and the newest-file-of-the-day fallback, which audited PRs against unrelated plans, are gone. With nothing bound or chosen it prints the exact line 'Plan completion audit: not run (...). Fix: add "Plan: <path>" to the PR body, or run /autoplan.' /ship's parent now binds the plan before dispatching the audit subagent ({{PLAN_COMPLETION_GATE_SHIP:discovery}}), so the child never searches. Migrates three tests that pinned the old markers and notice. Co-authored-by: loulanyue <260355617@qq.com> * G5: browse type --selector <sel> <text> (#2936) --selector focuses the element (sel or @ref) and types into it. The bare form still types its text literally into the focused element; text that starts with -- goes after a -- separator. When the first word looks like a CSS selector, the result adds a hint to use --selector without echoing the typed text, and never refuses based on page contents. Help and command usage updated. Co-authored-by: Thomas Reuser <thomasreuser@gmail.com> * F2: design-doc discovery reads docs/designs, never a root DESIGN.md A root DESIGN.md is the design system /design-consultation writes, so preferring it unconditionally reviewed plans against a token file while printing "Design doc found" and never looked at docs/designs/ feature docs. Discovery now considers only docs/designs/*.md as the repo-local design doc (still freshness-compared with the private ~/.gstack copy). The CEO finding fixture seeds its supplied design as a docs/designs doc and its test follows. Co-authored-by: Bit0ps <alex.dreamscaper@gmail.com> * C4: rename the external carve test (typecheck:test union-order artifact) tsc prints a union's members in type-creation order; a test file sorting before ceo-mode-option.test.ts reordered one baseline diagnostic's text. * C1: every env-var host fence resolves its own gstack root Codex and the other env-var hosts run each block in a fresh shell, so GSTACK_ROOT/BIN, B and D set by the preamble were empty in later blocks (/bin/gstack-slug, B=/browse). scripts/resolvers/runtime-root.ts now owns root resolution: a valid exported GSTACK_ROOT (bin/ and lib/), else the per-install literal root (no git call), else repo-local, else the global root (CODEX_HOME on Codex); no root prints the setup fix line and exits. One post-render pass inserts it (<=400 bytes) into every fence that uses these variables without assigning them; B/D come from the same helper as BROWSE and DESIGN SETUP. Claude output is byte-identical. Migrated pins of the old preamble lines (gen-skill-docs.test.ts) and a fixture whose exported GSTACK_ROOT lacked lib/ (skill-positional-literals). * E8: headless browse honors GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH; extensions load in new headless mode (#2771, #1968, #2281) The headless launch passes GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH as executablePath, scopes the XProtect self-heal out for that bundle, and names the path in a launch failure with the fix. BROWSE_EXTENSIONS_DIR now launches a persistent context under the project state dir with --headless=new, so the extension runs and no window appears (the off-screen window was visible on macOS and the extension never ran in an isolated newContext). The GPU source guard test moves from the removed useHeadless flag to launch() vs launchHeaded().

One helper links dist/ only (make-pdf/ ships a Claude SKILL.md) into the Codex, Factory, OpenCode, Cursor, Copilot and Kiro roots, the .agents sidecar and the Cursor sidecar. Co-authored-by: Mammad M. <mammad@digit.az> * C3: install router and nested SKILL.md files as real copies; back up hand edits; --status checks Codex skips a symlinked SKILL.md file, so the gstack router linked into ~/.codex/skills/gstack was invisible. Every host runtime root (Codex, Factory, OpenCode, Cursor, Copilot, Kiro) and Kiro's per-skill installs now get real copies, rewritten on every run (the auto-update path runs setup --refresh-registered, so it refreshes them too). setup records each copy's hash in <state root>/skill-copies.tsv; a copy that no longer matches is saved to a uniquely named backup under <state root>/backups/skill-copies/ before _activate_runtime_root replaces the tree, and a failed backup keeps the old tree. setup prints what it refreshed or removed. ./setup --status now prints, per registered install, whether the router is a real file and whether every section pointer resolves, with the fix command. Test migration: setup-codex-model pinned the Kiro router/upgrade links as _link_or_copy; C3 deliberately changes them to copies. * INV-3: install-level host conformance checks (no symlinked SKILL.md, dist present, section pointers resolve) For codex, kiro, factory, opencode, cursor and copilot, the real-setup conformance kit now fails when an installed SKILL.md is a symlink, when design/dist or make-pdf/dist is missing from the runtime root, or when a 'Read `.../sections/<f>.md`' pointer in an installed SKILL.md does not resolve (bare pointers in carved skills, relative-to-installed-skill pointers, and $GSTACK_ROOT/~/absolute/../ pointers everywhere), and ./setup --status must report 'all resolve'. No new setup runs. Expected red until the generator lane lands: design-html's install-offer pointer and plan-eng-review's review-sections pointer name $GSTACK_ROOT/<skill>/sections/... on every external host. * B11: auto-update tracks pull, setup and migrations; announces only on success; retries with backoff gstack-session-update wrote the 'just upgraded' marker after SETUP_FAILED or SETUP_SKIPPED bun_missing, and re-ran setup only when HEAD moved, so a failed install was announced as an upgrade and never retried. Stages are now persisted in <state root>/session-update-pending; the marker is written only when every stage succeeded; a pending setup or migrations stage is retried even with HEAD unchanged after the update-check interval, then 6h, then 24h; and each session start prints one line naming the stage, the reason and the repair command while it is pending. Best-effort tails carry a same-line reason. * D1: gstack-config key browse_extension_id for forks and self-built extensions The browse daemon trusts one Chrome extension ID on /extension-token and the terminal-agent /ws. The override now lives only in gstack-config (never an env var a project .env could set): empty by default (gstack's published extension), a 32-letter a-p Chrome ID when set, "" clears it, and anything else is rejected with the stored value kept. The browse lane reads it. gstack-config-defaults: browse/src counts as a reader directory; the key is listed prose-only until the browse lane's reader lands (the stale-entry check then asks for the entry's removal). * G2: key the sticky slug cache on the git common dir A linked worktree used to resolve its slug fresh from the remote while the main checkout kept its sticky pre-remote identity, so learnings, checkpoints and timelines split into two buckets. gstack-slug and its TS twin in lib/bin-context.ts now key the cache on the git common dir (read from .git files, no git spawn, so cache hits stay git-free) and read entries in one deterministic order: the repository entry, then the main checkout's pre-upgrade entry, then this directory's own. Both the repository and per-path entries are written. When a worktree's own old entry named a different bucket that still holds data, that slug is recorded in projects/<slug>/.former-slugs and reported by --get FORMER_SLUGS. New --adopt-legacy --from <slug> merges it: JSONL logs append missing lines with de-duplication, missing files copy, differing files are listed as conflicts and never overwritten, the source bucket is kept, and it prints migrated/pending/conflicting counts; reruns are idempotent. --adopt-legacy --dismiss <slug> drops the reminder. Co-authored-by: loulanyue <260355617@qq.com> * C5: OpenCode /gstack-* commands load the skill by its frontmatter name OpenCode's skill tool knows gstack-review as `review` (its frontmatter name), and OpenCode's builtin /review shadows that name as a command. The managed /gstack-review command told the agent to load `gstack-review`, a name the skill tool does not list. Every managed command now names the frontmatter name. OpenCode's AskUserQuestion/ExitPlanMode mapping (#2759) already shipped in v1.91.16.0. Test migration: the #2629 commands test pinned the directory name. Co-authored-by: Lockyer <135391289+Lockyer228@users.noreply.github.com> * E4: Windows node-server bundle keeps sharp and socks external; CLI resolves its server script lazily (#2260, #2439) build-node-server.sh passes --external sharp and --external socks (Bun on Windows refuses to inline them; on Linux they were silently inlined). The CLI no longer resolves server.ts or server-node.mjs at module load: resolveServerLaunch() runs when a server starts, so a Windows minimal runtime with only server-node.mjs works and a missing script is reported only when one is needed. Co-authored-by: Spooks444 <193448029+Spooks444@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: punksterlabs <77217235+punksterlabs@users.noreply.github.com> * B1: Codex reviews whose sandbox could not start are unavailable, not a pass In containers without unprivileged user namespaces every Codex command fails, yet the review exits 0 and concludes 'no findings' (captured in test/fixtures/codex-sandbox/). The validator now takes execution evidence: 'codex exec --json' command events and the 'codex review' stderr transcript (a command that succeeded proves execution); sandbox failure lines on stderr or in failed command output return unavailable(sandbox_unavailable); exact 'could not run commands / read the diff' phrases are the last fallback. Review text that merely discusses bwrap or namespaces still passes. A free 'codex sandbox ... true' preflight (Linux, 10 s) runs before the paid model probe and every automatic outside review; CODEX_MODE gains sandbox_unavailable, and an inconclusive model probe reports unverified instead of ready (exit code kept for stale callers). Every Codex site (outside-voice resolver, /codex review, challenge, consult) takes its sandbox from _GSTACK_CODEX_SANDBOX and pipes its result through the validator; a static test parses rendered command positions for both. GSTACK_CODEX_NO_SANDBOX=1 (exactly 1, shell env only) switches to danger-full-access with a warning on every use. Sandbox pins in existing tests move from the literal read-only to the selected-sandbox variable; captured autoplan probes are judged against the probe block they executed. * C6: gstack-relink discovers skills structurally, so /browse survives a skill_prefix toggle relink skipped a hardcoded list of support-directory names that included browse, a real skill, so toggling skill_prefix removed /browse. A top-level directory is now a skill exactly when it carries a SKILL.md. Co-authored-by: Jonathan Zhang <topcoder1@Mac-Studio.local> * C4: carve ship and plan-ceo-review on every host; enforce the 160 KB byte gate The generated ship skill was 202-241 KB on all 10 non-Claude hosts (and Factory plan-ceo-review 160,039 bytes), over the 160,000-byte ceiling, because section carving ran only for Claude. Both skills now carve on every host, pointing at sections relative to the installed skill directory (literal $GSTACK_ROOT/<skill>/sections refs are rewritten the same way). The ceiling is measured in UTF-8 bytes and fails generation in repo mode; under --install-root it warns so setup never leaves a user without skills. qa-lazy-sections.test.ts pinned ship as inline-on-external-hosts; migrated to the carved policy and kept the inline check on review (Claude-only carve). * B5: learnings and timeline reads fail loudly when bun is missing gstack-learnings-search and gstack-timeline-read ended in '2>/dev/null || exit 0', so a missing bun or a crashed embedded script printed nothing and exited 0, identical to 'nothing recorded'. Both now exit 127 with '<script>: bun not found on PATH, so ... could not be read. Fix: install Bun (https://bun.sh), then re-run ./setup.' and let an embedded-script failure exit non-zero with its stderr. A successful run with no matches still exits 0 with empty output. The generated callers that print 'LEARNINGS: unavailable (...)' belong to the generator lane. Co-authored-by: loulanyue <260355617@qq.com> * B2: a retired-model 404 reports MODEL_UNUSABLE, not CODEX_MODE: ready The model probe matched only 400 / 'is not supported', so a retired model's 404 ('does not exist or you do not have access to it') and a custom provider's bare 404 fell through to the inconclusive branch and reported ready. Both now classify as MODEL_UNUSABLE with a hint naming the two causes (retired model, or a wrong base_url) and log codex_model_retired; a 'requires a newer version of Codex' 400 points at upgrading the CLI and logs codex_cli_outdated. Ported from #2843 onto the current probe. Co-authored-by: Marek Cermak <marek.cermak@strv.com> * B6: rank learnings by matched query tokens and disclose truncation A more specific query used to drop the exact match: the token-OR filter recalled every entry sharing one token, the sort used confidence alone, and the default --limit cut silently. Entries now rank by how many distinct query tokens they match, then confidence, then recency, and a query that matched more than fit says '-- N more matched, raise --limit to see them'. The hit count lives in a local map so a field stored on disk can never become a sort key, and the type grouping uses a null-prototype map so a row typed 'constructor' or '__proto__' cannot crash the run. Ranking code ported from #2796; regression vectors adapted from #2799 (its stemmer is not needed). Co-authored-by: loulanyue <260355617@qq.com> Co-authored-by: y$un_ <forrest.sun527@gmail.com> * C7: required team mode also blocks Copilot CLI's lowercase skill tool Copilot CLI applies Claude-format matchers by tool name; its skill tool is `skill`, which no Claude tool name maps to, so the 'Skill' matcher never fired and Copilot ran protected skills without gstack. The hook entry now matches 'Skill|skill', an entry an older team-init wrote is upgraded in place, and the deny is emitted in both decision formats (Copilot reads the top-level permissionDecision, Claude Code reads hookSpecificOutput) with exit 0 so both parse it. Test migration: the settings test pinned matcher 'Skill'. Co-authored-by: neallee <neallee@gmail.com> * B3: Codex auth probe accepts custom providers' env_key credentials The auth probe only knew CODEX_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY and auth.json, so a working self-hosted or OpenAI-compatible provider configured with [model_providers.<id>] env_key = "X" reported AUTH_FAILED and /codex stopped. The probe now reads env_key from model_providers tables only (comments ignored, the name must be a shell identifier before it is dereferenced) and accepts a set variable; when none is set it names the missing key on stderr. Ported from #2192 with the table scoping added. Co-authored-by: hardy <932821449@qq.com> * E8: keep the extensions profile under the state dir at a path lock cleanup accepts cleanSingletonLocks only cleans directories named chromium-profile, so the BROWSE_EXTENSIONS_DIR profile moves to <state>/extensions/chromium-profile. * B10: plan-tune never reports CALIBRATED with zero signal events Stats printed CALIBRATED: true from logged-answer counts alone, while every answer could miss SIGNAL_MAP and leave each dimension at its 0.5 seed (#2623). --derive now records inferred.signal_events, the answers that actually moved a dimension; calibration requires at least one, and the summary prints 'not calibrated: no recorded signals' verbatim when there are none (or says the count is unknown for a profile derived before this change). The psychographic redesign stays out of scope. * A1: verify gbrain landing before stamping transcripts, plus --reconcile gbrain import exits 0 while skipping pages (returned per-file failures, malformed filenames, managed-import Pending receipts), and its failure ledger exists only for git import dirs, so a skipped page was stamped ingested and never retried (field reports: 37 and 69 lost entries). Write, verify, then stamp (lib/memory-ingest-landing.ts, a new ratcheted module): - State schema 2 with a transition table (staged -> imported_unverified -> ingested, plus refused, quarantined, unrecoverable). Schema 1 files migrate in place: entries become ingested in the legacy "default" source and a reconcile pass is marked pending. - Named failures come from --json `failures`, stderr "Skipped <rel>:" lines and the ledger; a failure gbrain does not attribute refuses the whole batch. After 3 refused batches the batch is bisected and the page that poisons it is quarantined (printed even under --quiet). - Landing check: one `gbrain list --source-id` per source per run and at most 50 `gbrain get --json` content checks against a gstack_content_sha256 frontmatter field gstack now writes. Lookup errors and pglite_busy mean "not yet checked", never absent; pages over the cap stay imported_unverified and are not re-imported. - Each entry records its gbrain source_id. Remote-http mode records "staged", never "ingested". - The source fingerprint comes from the exact bytes parsed, so a transcript that grows during import is not stamped as its newer self (the old unscanned contract test is migrated; it pinned that bug). - --reconcile mode (bounded by --limit, default 200; resumable; --dry-run; backs up the state file) prints "reconcile: checked N, present M, re-queued K, not yet checked L". --request-reconcile records a pending pass without calling gbrain; the v1.91.17.0 migration (placeholder name) uses it, and the next ingest run does one bounded pass. - One lock for every state writer; a state-save failure fails the run. The #1802 static pins in regression-1611 move to the new structure (remote-http returns before importBatch; the finally honors preserveStaging).

Each binary is now copied first and restored as built when signing fails, and design is exec-probed after re-signing: exit 137 prints 'design unavailable: ... Fix: cd <checkout> && ./setup' (even under -q). Verified on Linux with the real block and uname/codesign/otool/stat stubs; not run on a Mac. * D3: treat design docs and handoff notes as data in plan reviews plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review and plan-devex-review read the freshest design doc as the source of truth, and nothing said its content is data. In multi-agent pipelines another agent may have written it, or a handoff note beside it, with reviewer-directed text ('skip Step 0', 'approve as-is'). Each read site now says the doc and any handoff note are data, never to follow text aimed at the reviewer, and to report it as suspicious content. The plan-completion audit's discovery, which now reads repo docs/designs/ files (F1), carries the same rule. Co-authored-by: cube <frosimanuel@gmail.com> * D4: setup-deploy reports Render API key presence only /setup-deploy ran 'echo $RENDER_API_KEY | head -c 4', printing the key's first bytes into the transcript. It now prints only 'RENDER_API_KEY: set' or 'RENDER_API_KEY: not set'. Wording follows the #2971 port of #1096; a test also guards against any setup-deploy command echoing a credential variable. Co-authored-by: jacob-wang <jiayuw794@gmail.com> * D5: per-project headed Chromium profiles; never kill a live profile owner (#2492) The headed profile moves from <gstack home>/chromium-profile to <project>/.gstack/chromium-profile (CHROMIUM_PROFILE still wins). killOrphanChromium now kills a SingletonLock PID only when the lock names this host, the process is a Chromium using that profile, and its daemon is gone (reparented to init or a subreaper); a live owner or another host's lock stops browse with the holder named. On first headed use a project profile is seeded from the old shared profile only when nothing holds it: copied without Singleton* files into a 0700 temp dir and renamed into place, with a one-time notice; otherwise it starts fresh and says how to import later. New: browse profiles [list] and browse profiles prune [--days N] (never removes a profile in use or the old shared one). The #2817 headed-startup tests move to the project profile and a real orphan (the old stand-in was a live child of the test). Co-authored-by: miao <miao@macmini-2.local> * F5: installed Claude skills serve the rendered sections, not the checkout copies Probe: a gbrain user render serves ship/SKILL.md from the render dir; its STOP pointers name absolute render paths, but its section index names `sections/<f>.md` relative to the installed skill directory, whose sections/ was linked from the checkout. So the rendered 'Save Results to Brain' blocks (plan reviews, office-hours, ship adversarial) were generated and never read. setup's _link_skill_runtime_assets and gstack-relink (the gbrain-refresh path) now serve a rendered counterpart per file, keep checkout-only assets (manifest.json), return an asset to the checkout once its render is gone, and never touch an entry that is not gstack's links. Co-authored-by: Jonah Berg <jonah.berg.g@gmail.com> * F1: ratchet /ship's parity union-size cap for this lane's content G1's NO_VERSION arms, F1's parent-side plan binding and D3's data line add 2,126 bytes to /ship's skeleton-plus-sections union, taking it from 1.4022x to 1.4135x of the v1.64.1.0 baseline (cap was 1.405). The cap moves to 1.414 with the measurement recorded, as earlier growth did; no other invariant changes. * E5: feed every Codex prompt on stdin instead of argv Prompts went to Codex as one argv string ('codex exec "$(cat file)"'), which fails over 32 KB on Windows (and over 128 KB on Linux, E2BIG) and mangles quotes. Every codex exec site (outside-voice resolver, /codex review custom instructions, challenge, consult new and resume) now runs 'codex exec -' with the prepared prompt file on stdin; challenge and consult write the prompt with a quoted heredoc so it is never shell-parsed. The bash-native timeout watchdog (stock macOS) started the command in the background, which gives it /dev/null as stdin; it now passes the caller's stdin through. The 'byte for byte' dispatch test drops its old argv trailing-LF exception, the consultation and autoplan fixtures follow the stdin form, and the static site test requires stdin at every rendered codex exec. * G6: prettyscreenshot --hide keeps a trailing image path as the output path (#1419) --hide collected every following non-flag argument as a selector, so the output path was hidden instead of written to. A trailing argument that looks like a path or ends in .png/.jpg/.jpeg/.webp is now the output path. Co-authored-by: Jayesh Betala <jayesh.betala7@gmail.com> * INV-3: render-level host conformance and generated-bash lint on every host One render per host checks every fence of every SKILL.md and section file: bash -n with angle-bracket placeholders normalized; the env-var host prelude and its B/D consumers run under env -i and set -u with stub binaries (no empty value, no /bin/, /browse, /design or /gstack- path); and a quote-aware lint (test/helpers/generated-bash-lint.ts) fails on a ~/ word inside double quotes, mktemp without a TMPDIR-respecting template, and cd/rm -r/mv/git -C on a variable the fence never assigned unless written ${VAR:?...} (cd must also handle failure). Negative controls plant each failure. Templated the bare mktemp calls in generator-owned resolvers and the upgrade fence; migrated the two tests that pinned the bare form. * G6: analytics averages quoted duration_s values (#1728) gstack-skill-end writes duration_s as a quoted string, and the per-skill average stripped everything from the leading quote, so every average read 0s. The awk now drops a leading quote before extracting digits.

The cap ratchet commit measured this wording. * G6: rejected taste preferences gain confidence (#1777) bumpPref computed every entry's confidence from approved_count, so a rejected entry, which never gains approvals, stayed at 0: show ranked rejections by insertion order and the taste-drift warning could not fire from real use. Confidence now uses the entry's own bucket count. Also salvaged by Garry's #2971. Co-authored-by: Jayesh Betala <jayesh.betala7@gmail.com> * E2: Windows /cso build disables only C5105, and a failed MSVC compile is not reported as a missing toolchain The Windows SDK's winbase.h raises C5105, which /W4 /WX promotes to error C2220, so every MSVC build of the native /cso helper failed, and setup mapped every probe failure to 'install Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools'. Both compile lines add /wd5105 (only that diagnostic), and setup keeps the probe's output: a probe that found MSVC but failed to compile reports windows-msvc-compile with the compiler's first error. Not run on Windows: the mapping test stubs powershell.exe; the ps1 assertion runs everywhere. Co-authored-by: AlinValentin7 <AlinValentin7@users.noreply.github.com> * E6: gbrain-refresh hands the detection file to Python on stdin Under Git Bash, a native Windows Python first on PATH cannot open an MSYS /c/... path, so gbrain-refresh always summarized the detection as 'local-status: unknown' and brain-aware blocks were suppressed. bash now opens the file and Python reads stdin; the grep fallback without Python is unchanged. Verified on Linux with a stub Python that refuses path opens; not run on Windows. Co-authored-by: maxpetrusenkoagent <max.petrusenko.agent@gmail.com> * G6: context-save computes session duration on Linux (#2704) The duration step parsed 'ps -o lstart=' with BSD-only 'date -jf', so on Linux session_duration_s was always unknown. It now falls back to GNU 'date -d', and never parses an empty start (GNU reads that as midnight). Ported onto the current block instead of #2704's ~/.gstack/sessions mtime, which bypassed the state root. Co-authored-by: Evgenii Lopatin <e75533@gmail.com> * Q2: one-time notice naming the Codex provider and account for outside reviews Outside reviews are on by default and use whatever Codex login exists (#965). The first automatic Codex review on a machine now prints one non-blocking notice: the provider (config.toml model_provider, else openai), where the credential comes from (CODEX_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, the ChatGPT login or the key saved by codex login; never the value), that reviews stay on, and how to turn them off (gstack-config set codex_reviews disabled). A marker in the gstack state root keeps it to once per machine. Tests that run the generated command now use private state roots. Also shortens the no-sandbox provenance line. * Q1: validate browser output paths the way the kernel resolves them (#2971 salvage) validateOutputPath walks the destination one component at a time, resolving each existing component before the next, so link/../x, a dangling symlink and a dangling symlinked parent can no longer route a write outside the safe directories, while a new multi-level directory inside them is allowed. scrape validates its manifest and every downloaded file, not only --dir. Ported from PR #2971 onto current code. * G6: retro test census counts non-JS suites, skips generated output The census recognized only JS/TS-style names, so pytest and minitest (test_*.py|rb), XCTest (Tests/ dirs, FooTests.swift), Terraform (*.tftest.hcl) and Bats (*.bats) suites counted as zero, and a committed build directory counted as authored code (and its Test/ subdirs as test LOC). is_test now knows those conventions and never treats prose as a test, generated output is skipped in the numstat pass, TEST_FILES_CHANGED uses is_test, and TEST_FILES_TOTAL uses the same filename conventions minus generated paths. Merges #2812, #2809 and #2037's patterns (#2037's retro template edits target a block the metrics bin replaced).

Now a Conductor setup without an explicit opt-in never installs it and removes an existing one (the question-log and AUQ-error hooks stay), printing how to keep it (gstack-config set plan_tune_hooks yes). An explicit opt-in still installs it. gstack-settings-hook remove-source gains --event to scope the removal. Test migration: setup-plan-tune-hooks-noninteractive pinned the retired Conductor auto-opt-in. Co-authored-by: Phil Hie <philhie@outlook.com> * E5: watchdog stdin test feeds the wrapper through a redirect Callers run '_gstack_codex_timeout_wrapper ... codex exec - < file'. Bash keeps stdin for a backgrounded command inside a pipeline but not behind a redirect, so the pipe form passed on the old watchdog; the redirect form reproduces the lost prompt. * F4: type the variant-round fetch stub like the existing stubs The test-typecheck ratchet flagged the zero-argument stub cast to typeof fetch; it now takes the fetch arguments like variants-retry-after's stub. Test behavior unchanged. * A4: import transcripts into per-repository, non-federated gbrain sources `gbrain import` ran without --source-id, so transcripts from every project landed in the shared (often federated) default source. - Each transcript partition imports with --source-id into its originating repository's own source (gstack-transcripts-<repo>, built with constrainSourceId, now exported from lib/gbrain-sources.ts). The source is registered machine-local and --no-federated before its first import, and the registration is cached in state. Partitions import one after another (PGLite is a single writer); a failing source no longer blocks the others, except a timeout, whose checkpoint must survive. - If gbrain cannot register the source, that partition stays local and unstamped, and the run says why (even under --quiet). - --include-unattributed sends repo-less transcripts only to the machine-local gstack-transcripts-unattributed source, keeps them on the machine when the brain is remote (Postgres, Supabase or remote-HTTP), and never writes them to the publishable ~/.gstack/transcripts staging. - A page's recorded source is sticky: pages stamped before this release ("default") keep importing there, so no source gains a duplicate. - The staging dir name carries -src-<id> so a resumed import keeps its source. Test fakes that recorded only the last import now record every import of one run, and answer `gbrain sources`; remote-http scan tests use an attributed transcript, since unattributed ones no longer stage there. Co-authored-by: Sinabina <sinabina@Sinabinas-MacBook-Pro-4.local> * F3: load the taste profile, and report a failed slug lookup The taste-profile probe double-quoted ~/.claude/.../gstack-slug, so the tilde never expanded and /design-consultation and /design-shotgun always printed NO_TASTE_PROFILE. Use quoteSafePath(); stop hiding gstack-slug's stderr and print TASTE_PROFILE_UNAVAILABLE with the fix when the slug cannot be resolved. * B4: DESIGN_READY only when the design binary actually starts DESIGN SETUP (and office-hours' visual exploration) printed DESIGN_READY for any executable binary, so one SIGKILLed at launch by an invalid macOS code signature still passed. Launch it under the portable 10-second deadline (gtimeout, timeout, or perl alarm); otherwise print DESIGN_NOT_AVAILABLE with the exit code, 'timed out after 10s', or on 137 the code-signature hint and 'Fix: cd <checkout> && ./setup'. A success is cached by inode and mtime under the state root so Gatekeeper's first-launch scan is paid once. The probe launches the binary with no arguments (usage, exit 0): the design CLI has no --version command today. * C2: name the runtime root every way a generated preflight may read it in the dist test The generator lane's C1 resolves D from $GSTACK_ROOT instead of $GSTACK_DESIGN, so the test now exports GSTACK_ROOT as well; it still fails on main (no dist in the roots) and passes with and without the C1 change. * A5: brain-sync stage fails loud when the artifacts source indexed zero pages The stage reported "curated artifacts pushed" whenever gstack-brain-sync exited 0, but a git push is not gbrain indexing. After a successful push the stage now reads the maintained artifacts source's page count (GSTACK_BRAIN_SOURCE_ID, else the source whose path is the artifacts worktree or state root): zero pages is ERR with the fix command; a missing source or an unavailable count says so instead of claiming indexing. Co-authored-by: Jimmy Zeisweiss <4261258+jzeisweiss@users.noreply.github.com> * B1: state the effective read-only sandbox in /codex review prose The codex parity invariant requires the skill to state sandbox_mode="read-only"; the command now takes it from _GSTACK_CODEX_SANDBOX, so the prose names the effective default explicitly. * A6: report deleted-worktree gbrain sources; prune only with proof, on request A deleted Conductor worktree leaves its gstack-code-<hash> source behind and gbrain's autopilot fails on it forever. Local absence is not proof a source is dead (machines sharing a federated brain register their own paths, and its pages may be the only copy of uncommitted work), so gstack never removes one automatically. - Each sync counts consecutive misses for gstack code sources whose path is missing, prints "path unavailable" once per source with the review command, and records which repository each synced source belongs to. - New gstack-gbrain-sync --prune-gone-worktrees (with --dry-run, whose plan it always prints first) removes a source only when its path was missing on two consecutive syncs, its parent is readable, recomputing deriveCodeSourceId() for that path on this host yields its id, and the repository's git common dir still exists and no longer lists the worktree. It re-checks the path right before removing (through the #1734-guarded safeSourcesRemove) and logs each removal. * D0: pass the Bun child flags after 'run' so wrappers that rewrite 'bun run' argv keep working bun run --no-env-file --config=/dev/null <script> has the same effect (verified on Bun 1.4.0) and keeps argv[1] === 'run', which the publication-lock fixture's preload injection relies on. The sidebar-tabs source guard now expects the flags in the terminal-agent spawn. * E8: count the BROWSE_EXTENSIONS_DIR persistent launch in the signal-flags guard The new launch site carries handleSIGINT/SIGTERM/SIGHUP false like the other three, so the guard's expected count moves from 3 to 4. * D2: give the memory-leak reproducer's fake request isNavigationRequest() wirePageEvents now runs the navigation guard on every request event; the fake request adapter supplies the method real Playwright requests have. * A7: run only the resolve_symbol_edges dream phase, detected first /sync-gbrain --dream and the --full auto-build ran gbrain's full dream cycle (~35 minutes, LLM phases) when the call graph needs only the resolve_symbol_edges phase. The stage now runs gbrain dream [--source <id>] --phase resolve_symbol_edges when the installed gbrain accepts that phase (detected by behavior: gbrain validates --phase before printing --help). Otherwise it skips the forced dream and says the full cycle costs about 35 minutes and how to run it, instead of starting it. Co-authored-by: liutiming <timingliu@outlook.com> * D0: keep the dotenv isolation test runnable on the Windows lane The compiled probe gets its .exe name on Windows, and the terminal-agent case (owner identity comes from ps) is skipped there. * B9: read cycle_freshness from a doctor run that includes it /sync-gbrain Step 3.5 and the --full auto-dream decision read CYCLE from gbrain doctor --json --fast, which skips the DB checks that carry cycle_freshness, so the answer was always "unknown". Both now read gbrain doctor --json --scope=brain (DB checks, no skill-file walk), parse its JSON even when doctor exits 1 for a failing check, and match the issue that names this source: "never completed" is never, "last cycled Nh ago" is completed. When the installed gbrain does not report the check, they say "unknown: installed gbrain does not expose cycle_freshness" (lib readCycleStatus carries the reason to the --full SKIP row). The source-probe fixture that pinned the --fast call and a made-up message format now answers --scope=brain with gbrain's real message. * B4: compact the launch probe (cache keyed on inode, valid while newer than the binary) Keeps design-consultation inside its parity size budget. * C4: migrate the ship docs-dispatch test to the carved external ship On Codex and Factory the documentation dispatch now lives in sections/documentation.md behind a pointer relative to the installed skill, like Claude; the test pinned the old inlined layout. * B5: learnings callers report a failed search instead of reading as empty Every generated gstack-learnings-search caller ended in 2>/dev/null || true, so a missing bun or a failed search looked like 'nothing recorded'. Callers now keep stdout, capture stderr and the exit status, and print 'LEARNINGS: unavailable (<first stderr line>)' on failure (resolver callers in learnings.ts and review-army.ts, plus investigate, qa and ship's adversarial section). * F1: ship and review count unverified/unavailable outside reviews as missing coverage INV-1 consumers in this lane's templates: /ship's readiness note, its PR body Pre-Landing Review section and /review's completion rule now say an outside review reporting unverified or unavailable is missing coverage, never a pass. The PR body's Plan Completion section prints F1's not-run line instead of the old 'No plan file detected.' The /ship union-size cap moves to 1.415 for these lines (measured 1.4148). * A8: rename the artifacts repo with OWNER/REPO, rewrite the remote only after it The v1.27.0.0 migration passed a bare repo name to gh repo rename / gh repo edit, which always fails (gh wants [HOST/]OWNER/REPO), then step 2 rewrote ~/.gstack-artifacts-remote.txt to the never-renamed repository. - Qualify both names with the owner from the recorded remote URL (else the signed-in gh user) and surface gh's error. - Step 2 moves the remote file but rewrites the URL only once the rename is confirmed; a later successful retry rewrites it then. - A pending journal now counts as state to migrate, so the #1383 retry actually re-runs step 1 (it used to see no legacy file and declare the migration done). - The v1.91.17.0 migration (placeholder name) repairs installs already hit: when the remote names gstack-artifacts-<user> that does not exist but gstack-brain-<user> does, it restores the old URL in the remote file and ~/.gstack's origin and says so. It only calls gh for such a remote and never fails the upgrade. Co-authored-by: Brandon Pugsley <aibpaem@gmail.com> * B8: read gbrain JSON with bun instead of jq in install and wireup gstack-gbrain-install read package.json with jq but never checked for it, so on a machine without jq a successful install failed with "cannot read version". gstack-gbrain-source-wireup hard-failed without jq ("brew install jq" is not actionable on git-bash), so the wireup was skipped on every run. Both now read the JSON with bun, which they already require. Co-authored-by: benjamin beres <benjamin.beres@bienpreter.com> * B4: shorter probe messages (design-consultation parity budget) * B5: shorter capture variable names (parity budget) * E7: find the Aside CLI in ~/.local/bin when it is not on PATH (#2902) The installer puts aside in ~/.local/bin, which is not on the default macOS login PATH, so the probe said NEEDS_ASIDE ('download Aside') for a healthy install. The probe now falls back to ~/.local/bin/aside, drives the resolved binary, and prints READY: <path> when it is off PATH so later blocks run that path. Ported from PR #2965 onto the current _gs_d probe. Co-authored-by: Som Samantray <som.samantray@gmail.com> * A2: key the dot-slug catalog entry on the message users actually saw * E1: cmd.exe-safe investigate freeze hook On Windows Claude Code runs hook commands through cmd.exe, which cannot parse the single-quoted bash -c argument, so /investigate's scope-lock hook never ran. Use one double-quoted bash -c script that names the hook path directly (no S= variable: POSIX sh would expand $S to empty and skip the hook). * F4: design resolver reads per-round variant paths $D variants now writes $_DESIGN_DIR/round-<N>/variant-*.png and prints JSON with roundDir, manifest and paths. The mockup flow and comparison-board loops build the board from those printed paths instead of hardcoded variant-{A,B,C}.png, and approved.json records approved_path and round so a round-1 choice made after round 2 still resolves. * E4: generators tolerate Bun's spurious EEXIST on Windows (#2329) Bun on Windows throws EEXIST from a recursive mkdir of an existing directory, so gen:skill-docs and the llms.txt writer crashed once a second file landed in a directory. Both now use lib/fs-utils' mkdirpSync (ported from PR #2329 onto the existing helper instead of a new scripts/fs-utils.ts). Co-authored-by: Vaughan <vaughan@cairnsitguy.com.au> * C7: keep the required-mode hook's exit-2 deny Copilot CLI treats a preToolUse exit 2 as deny (its hooks reference), and #2413 established exit 2 plus hookSpecificOutput as the shape Claude Code enforces, so the deny output stays as on main; only the matcher and the in-place upgrade of older 'Skill' entries change. * C3: guard Kiro's router copies on a present source; give the QA pointer adapter the copy and dist helpers A copy fails where a symlink dangled, so the Kiro router and upgrade copies are written only when their render exists (as every other runtime root already does). test/qa-lazy-sections' extracted Kiro installer now supplies _link_runtime_dists (C2) and the SKILL.md copy helpers (C3). * Q3: office-hours asks open-ended questions in a Q<N> prose form (#2719) In Conductor, and whenever AskUserQuestion fails, prose is the only channel, and the prose fallback defined only the D<N> decision brief. Phase 2A/2B diagnostic questions have no option set, so the model dropped the phase. Office-hours' preamble now defines the Q<N> open-question form (question, why I'm asking, what a strong answer sounds like) and routes free-text replies to it; the diagnostic sections name it. Scoped to office-hours so every other skill's preamble is unchanged. Ported from PR #2729. Co-authored-by: Bharadwaj Mittapelli <bharadwajmittapelli@gmail.com> * A2: render db-unreachable like timeout gbrain's new db-unreachable status is a transient network failure; a setup run while offline must not strip brain-aware blocks from every skill. * A2: treat db-unreachable like timeout in gbrain-refresh The memory lane's new db-unreachable status (network or DNS failure, config intact) is transient, so gbrain-refresh keeps rendering brain-aware blocks for it exactly as it does for timeout instead of suppressing them. * C8: a render given disabled skills drops them from the router (#3018) The root router named every skill and ends 'When in doubt, invoke the skill', so it routed to skills the user disabled. gen-skill-docs takes --disabled-skills (runGeneration disabledSkills): the router drops their routing rules, keeps the other side of an 'A or B' rule, and names them as disabled. The router and gstack-upgrade cannot be disabled. With no disabled skills the render is byte-identical. * G2/G3/INV-1: skill-start former-bucket notice and visible learnings failure; TMPDIR mktemp in gbrain bins; best-effort reasons * C9: Step 2 falls back to the install registry's source checkout (DX-7) Codex users who installed from the README's ~/gstack clone got 'ERROR: gstack not found' from /gstack-upgrade: Step 2 only looked under host skill directories. It now falls back to the source checkout the install registry recorded for the current host. * B4: design --version prints the version, and the probe uses it The design CLI treated --version as an unknown command (exit 1), so the probe launched the binary with no arguments instead. Add --version (prints the gstack version, exit 0, before auth or network) and probe with it, so messages read '<path> --version exited <code>' as planned. * C4: no external render points at a section file that is not installed design-html's detector install offer and plan-eng-review's self-check pointed at $GSTACK_ROOT/<skill>/sections/<file> on every external host, where neither skill is carved and no section tree exists. design-html now inlines the offer off Claude, and a skill's pointer to its own {{SECTION}}-inlined section names the inlined text. * C1: skillify finds the browse SDK under its own host's install root The template hardcoded ~/.claude/skills/gstack for the canonical browse-client.ts, so external hosts read another host's install or nothing. A new INSTALLED_ROOT resolver (sibling of INSTALLED_BIN_DIR) names the host's global root, or the per-install root when setup renders for one. * C4: rewrite section refs on hosts whose root stays a literal ~/<globalRoot> Kiro, OpenCode, Cursor and Copilot render ~/.claude/skills/gstack as their own literal root, not $GSTACK_ROOT, so plan-eng-review's self-check pointer escaped the rewrite (found by the setup lane's installed-pointer check). * Integrator: outside-voice fences use the shared runtime prelude; TMPDIR mktemp and per-round variant paths in design templates * Integrator: C8 router omits disabled skills on every render (relink renders the served Claude router in place); Windows-safe E4/E6 entries; investigate hooks under the cmd.exe check; browse_extension_id reader; order-insensitive test typecheck identities tsc printed one unchanged ceo-mode-option diagnostic's object members in a different order (content?/isError?) once lib/fs-utils joined the generator's import graph; identities now sort object-type members, and old baselines normalize on read. * Q1 (#2971 salvage): bound iOS proxy responses One wall-clock deadline covers headers and body (stalled and dribbling bodies time out), the whole body is capped at 64 MiB (upstream_response_too_large), every terminal path clears its timer, removes listeners and destroys the request, and the daemon threads the deadline through both listeners. Ambiguous mutations are still never replayed after a timeout or abort. Ported from #2971's proxy-transport work plus the size bound. * I1: grade the AUQ matrix's (recommended) marker on option labels, the field the auto-decide hook reads The decision-brief format puts a Pros / cons block with 'A) ... (recommended)' in the question text and the same marker on the option label. The matrix counted both and failed all six skills in periodic run 37151477069 with 'expected exactly one (recommended) option, found 2'. The question-preference hook reads labels only, so the gate now checks the native question: a Recommendation line in the question text and exactly one label ending in (recommended). Fixtures move to the native question shape and add the real spec capture plus a marker-only-in-text negative control. * Q1: type the proxy-transport test doubles (typecheck:test ratchet) * INV-1: gate outcome rows and troubleshooting sections for every lane's new messages * Release v1.91.19.0 (next free patch in the queue: #3022 holds 1.91.17.0, #3023 holds 1.91.18.0); migration renamed; engines.bun >=1.4.0 to match the CI pin (#2815) * v1.91.19.0 docs and metadata: CHANGELOG, TODOS, README troubleshooting/upgrade/type --selector, BROWSER.md type and profiles, AGENTS.md conventions, CONTRIBUTING #2949, touchfiles for the wave's new lib/bin files * I1: give hermetic Codex runs a temp dir beside CODEX_HOME so Codex can create its PATH aliases Codex 0.160 refuses to create its helper aliases (codex-linux-sandbox among them) when CODEX_HOME sits under its temp dir, and the runner put the hermetic home under the shard TMPDIR. Periodic run 37151477069 shows the warning and 'Unable to spawn codex-linux-sandbox ... No viable candidates found in PATH' for every exec_command in codex-sol-scope-termination. * I1: Codex evals fail a review whose commands never ran and stop reading tool errors as skill-load problems validateCodexReview accepted codex-review-findings in periodic run 37151477069 although its only command failed in bwrap ('I couldn't run the review'); it now requires execution evidence from classifyOutsideReview (B1's INV-1 classifier). codex-sol-scope-termination failed on 'apply_patch verification failed: invalid hunk' because the skill-load check matched any 'invalid'; it now matches Codex 0.160's skill-loader diagnostics only. * I1: run paid eval containers with seccomp unconfined so Codex's sandbox can start Docker's default seccomp profile blocks the user namespaces bubblewrap needs, so every Codex command in a paid eval failed with 'bwrap: No permissions to create a new namespace' (codex-review-findings, run 37151477069). Reproduced in the CI image locally: default profile fails, seccomp=unconfined runs the command. The runner stays non-root. * I1: shared-libs plan actor reads one exclusion grammar for scope lists Periodic run 37151477069 refused 'Existing-caller migration and helper hardening stay out of scope' as a hardening proposal: the actor had two partial exclusion rules (unanchored is/are/remains outside, and an anchored list that only stays unchanged), the third refusal at this boundary after 36633323521 and 36776104571. One anchored predicate now covers a bare list of scope nouns (hyphenated compounds included) with is/are/stays/remains and unchanged/untouched/excluded/out of scope/outside/not part; any other verb in the clause is still read as a proposal. Adds the real capture and two adversarial controls. * Parity caps: measured v1.91.19.0 union/skeleton sizes for ship, review, design-consultation, office-hours and design-shotgun, with the reason beside each * Regenerate generated output for v1.91.19.0 (gen:skill-docs --host all, goldens, llms.txt, context-budget fixture) * I1: plan-eng-review writes the Test Plan Artifact even while test choices are pending Periodic run 37151477069 (plan-eng-review-artifact): a non-interactive review recorded every Test review choice as pending and never wrote the QA test plan, because Step 5 said to write the artifact 'when these test and eval choices are resolved' while the artifact section says to list unresolved choices as pending. Both now say to write it after the decision gate, with unanswered choices under Pending Decisions. The pinned sentence becomes a meaning-level check. * I3: plan-eng-review states when findings first enter the report and that the scope menu's recommendation needs no repo probe Judge rationales for 'plan-eng-review/SKILL.md sections' (actionability 3.67 in periodic run 37151477069, clarity 3 in 36385945043 and 35567915613) cite two concrete tensions: 'do not add findings before Scope Challenge C' versus the ledger saves C itself performs, and 'Recommendation: A when a branch diff exists' versus 'do not probe for session state'. The write policy now says findings first enter through Scope Challenge C's ledger saves; the selector says its Recommendation line advises the user and needs no repository inspection. The pinned sentence becomes the new meaning-level regex. * I3: plan-ceo-review defines the closing sequence's cleanup step Two of three judge samples for 'plan-ceo-review/SKILL.md modes' in periodic run 37151477069 (actionability at the 4.0 gate) flag 'perform permitted cleanup' as never defined. The only cleanup the skill has is archiving old CEO plans, which needs approval; step 5 now says so. * I3: /qa-only's value-card rule names only its own card location qa-only rendered the /qa line 'Put it in the 8e.5 record (/qa) or under each proposed test (/qa-only)'; judge samples for 'qa-only/SKILL.md workflow' (actionability at the 4.0 gate in run 37151477069, 3.67 in 36907895813) flag the /qa-only-irrelevant 8e.5 record. The qa-mode bar now renders the invoking skill's location; both skills get shorter. * test-of-test ratchet: a repo script or setup read by path counts as product code codex-invocation-sites (runs scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts), gstack-config-gbrain-refresh (copies bin/<name> through a variable) and setup-cso-windows-probe (reads setup and scripts/build-cso-windows.ps1) exercise product code the detector could not see. * I1: DX floor actor strips the editor hint from the footer line only (from #2971) The custom-field reply normalization removed 'ctrl+g to edit in <editor>' from every line, so question text that resembled the menu footer could be rewritten and still authenticate. Only the last non-empty line is the footer. Ported from Garry's #2971 with its negative control. * I4: attribute every census testcase; deselections never count as SKIPPED The paid report counted every skipped JUnit testcase as SKIPPED and every testcase whose name was not a registry id as unattributed. On the 2026-10-03 census (run 37151477069) that was SKIPPED 82 / unattributed 72 (periodic) and SKIPPED 282 / unattributed 24 (gate), and every case-shard sibling also wrote a skipped history record that reset its pass-rate series. - attributeJUnitCase: a name is its registry id or CASE_TEST_NAMES label, else the only id its file registers, else the keyless file itself. Skipped other-tier cases, case-shard siblings, isolated or unselected cases and Bun's '(unnamed)' hook placeholders are zero-credit deselections with a reason and write no history record. Anything else is listed by name as unattributed. - One result and one history record per case per shard; a genuinely skipped selected case counts as SKIPPED and is listed with its reason, also in report-summary.md and collector-outcomes.json. SKIPPED panels show their reason and skipped trials are no longer called assertions. - CASE_TEST_NAMES labels for the three /cso cases. - tierSkipReason: a computed registration whose lane-tier ids are all registered to other test files is excluded at plan time, so the four gate and two periodic files that ran with every test skipped no longer take a runner. Census rerun: periodic SKIPPED 0 / unattributed 0, gate SKIPPED 0 / unattributed 0; verdicts unchanged. * I5: split the deploy file per case; guard PR-lane shard walls at 600 s test/skill-e2e-deploy.test.ts ran 668 s as one gate shard in the 2026-10-03 census (six sequential cases, 51-201 s each). It is now case-sharded, so each case is its own shard with its own (smaller) supervision budget; no timeout or budget was raised. - CASE_SHARDED_FILES gains the deploy file (names already equal ids). - Gate duration seeds for the six case keys from the census JUnit walls, so packing stays at 12 gate-census slices (CI cap 230m -> 200m). - shardDurationViolations + PR_LANE_SHARD_LIMIT_MS: a free test fails when a planned gate shard's recorded wall (committed seed, and the last gate census in test/fixtures/paid-report-census/gate-census-durations.json) exceeds 600 s. - Tests that pinned deploy as one shard follow the split (cookie planner keys, reuse fixture key, release/PR floors). * TODOS: /review fingerprint under Codex's read-only .git sandbox (found by the live Codex check) * Free-suite repairs from the first integrated Ubicloud run Product: - Outside-voice fences carry runtimeRootPrelude(ctx) explicitly again, so the resolver output runs on its own (the post-render pass skips fences that already assign GSTACK_ROOT); outsideVoiceRuntime stays deleted. - D5: an explicit CHROMIUM_PROFILE (gbrowser's per-workspace gbd) is never seeded from the shared profile or registered for `browse profiles prune`; this was also the free suite's write to the real ~/.gstack/browse-profiles.json. - gstack-ios-qa-daemon: BASH_COMPAT=50 for its >512-byte --help heredoc. Tests migrated to the wave's deliberate contract changes: - B1 heading admits `unverified`; sandbox flag is ${_GSTACK_CODEX_SANDBOX:?}; verdict-form output (VERDICT/FINDINGS/REASON); fake codex follows the preflight + stdin + -o form; Q2 notice marked shown in a private state root. - C1: an exported root needs bin/ and lib/; a lone GSTACK_BIN is not honored. - C4: plan-ceo-review is carved on every host (carrier, discovery and methodology fixtures read sections/ when the render has it). - E7: READY prints the resolved Aside path. - INV-3: the cookie-approval reconstruction reverses the bun-install mktemp template. - F1's `Plan:` binding read gets a reasoned tracker-guard exemption. - Browse stubs stop their server instead of scheduling process.exit; the headless launch check only counts browsers its own launch started. * Regenerate generated output after the outside-voice prelude repair * I1: revert the seccomp-only eval container option; it does not let Codex's sandbox start Run 37158847998 on this branch and a stock Ubicloud VM both show that seccomp=unconfined only moves bubblewrap's failure from 'No permissions to create a new namespace' to 'Failed to make / slave: Permission denied'. Codex's sandbox started only with the host sysctl kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0 plus seccomp and AppArmor unconfined on the container, which a container job cannot set from its steps. The relaxation bought nothing, so it goes; the fix is filed as a TODO for the integrator. This reverts commit ec97187. * I1: a Codex review eval needs a completed command, not just review-shaped text Run 37158847998 recorded codex-review-findings as passed again: the agent wrote 'I couldn't run the review because the execution sandbox failed (bwrap: Failed to make / slave)', the failure never reached stderr or a command event, and no phrase rule matched. validateCodexReview now also requires at least one command_execution event that completed with exit 0. Fixtures gain that event; the CI output is a new negative control. * Evals lane follow-ups: close the skillify gate TODO (I2 green), file its open reds, CHANGELOG lines; refresh measured parity annotations * Regenerate generated output after merging wave/evals * D2: bound the navigation guard's tab reset (commit, 5 s) Ubicloud run 3: a click to a link-local link reported the block, but the reset's page.goto('about:blank') waited the full 30 s default navigation timeout, so the command hung past the test deadline and the stale block leaked into the next command. The reset now waits for commit only, with a 5 s bound. * I1: run Codex paid slices on a host-run job where bubblewrap can start Docker's default seccomp/AppArmor profiles and the Ubuntu 24.04 host's kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=1 keep Codex's bubblewrap sandbox from starting in a job container, so every Codex command failed. The planner now packs Codex shards into their own slices (plan.codexSlices, validated against the entries); evals-periodic runs those slices on a new host-run job that lifts the host restriction and runs the same CI image with seccomp and AppArmor unconfined. Artifact names match eval-slices, so the report reconciles one manifest. Gate plans have no Codex slices. * I1: the /codex review eval passes only when Codex executed Run 37158847998 recorded codex-review as passed while the sandbox preflight said unavailable and no review ran: the case only checked the session exit and an optional output file. It now requires the shared validator's executed verdict (findings, clean or unverified) in the codex command's own output and a written, non-fail-closed GATE. * TODOS: characterize the free-suite timing reds from Ubicloud run 4 * I1: QA evidence names the probes to rerun after an input change, before the one-shot materialize ship-exploratory-late-input returned inconclusive in gate census 37158847998: the fixture locale changed after captures 001 and 002, the agent reran only input 9, and materialize (which publishes once) recorded capture 001 as open. Its next line then said to rerun what is open, which the published verdict no longer allowed. Every capture now lists the commands that observed an older input snapshot and have no rerun on current inputs (revalidate, plus the next line), and materialize's next line says the verdict is final. * I1: the eng batching counter reads records under "Section N — <review> review" headings plan-eng-multi-finding-batching failed in 6 of 12 runs with reviewCount 0-1 (or a timeout with every ask counted as Step 0). In run 37158847998 the agent asked 11 separate questions, each with a saved ledger record, but filed records R2-R10 under '## Section 1 — Architecture review'. The counter strips 'Section 1' but not the dash separator, so it rejected every record outside the Decision ledger and the floor never filled. Quoted, historical and unrelated headings still do not count. * I1: plan-eng-review-artifact names its report file without making it the only output Runs 37151477069 and 37158847998 wrote the whole review, including the GSTACK REVIEW REPORT, into review-output.md and never ran the Test Plan Artifact block. #3017 made the artifact a hard assertion and dropped the prompt's explicit artifact instruction, leaving 'Write your review to review-output.md' as the one named destination. The prompt now names that file as the selected report file and says every other output keeps the destination the skill gives it, without naming the artifact. * browse: close returns when Chromium exits; Xvfb cleanup does not wait on its own zombie BrowserManager.close() detached every 'disconnected' listener before browser.close(). That also removed Playwright's internal listener that resolves close(), so every launched-mode close waited the full 5 s race timeout (measured 5,000 ms on origin/main and on this branch; raw Playwright closes in ~50 ms), and Playwright 1.62 has no Browser.process() for the SIGKILL fallback. The daemon's SIGINT shutdown therefore took over 5 s, which reddened the CLI lifecycle test under load (1 of 8 on main) and left browsers alive at shard cleanup. gstack now detaches only its own listeners: close takes ~50 ms. cleanupXvfb treated a terminated Xvfb child as alive until our own blocked event loop reaped it, so every close waited a full second then sent SIGKILL to a zombie. A zombie now counts as exited; the display test counts only running Xvfb processes. * I1: office-hours-brain-writeback reads the long skill with Read and skips the preamble 4 of 18 trials ended error_max_turns at the unchanged 12-turn budget with a gbrain search but no gbrain put. The failing trial in 37151477069 read the 1260-line rendered SKILL.md with cat, got truncated output, spent four more turns re-reading it with sed, then ran the preamble's skill-start block. The passing trials skipped the preamble. The prompt now says to read the skill with the Read tool and skip the preamble, onboarding, telemetry and contributor sections, as the plan-eng fixtures already do. Budget unchanged. * CI: no credential-shaped URLs in added lines (quality scan); release floor measured on the merged tree The quality job's credential scan of the PR diff flagged 7 db.url_with_password lines: three docs lines now describe the login instead of spelling a URL, and three tests build the URL from parts. paid-retry-supervision's periodic release floor is the merged tree's measured 35,711 (main's value; the evals lane's 33,821 predates main's new paid files). * qa-evidence: hold the stdout-pipe cases on a FIFO, not on a paused child stream Ubicloud run 4 finished the blocked-forever case in 71 ms (it should take the 5 s write deadline): the 2 MB write was not held, because saturation depended on how the runtime buffers a paused child pipe. On POSIX the child's stdout is now a FIFO the test reads only when it chooses to, so the kernel holds the write; Windows keeps the paused pipe. * TODOS/CHANGELOG: the three run-4 timing reds are fixed at their causes (daemon close latency, FIFO-held pipe tests) * I1: a QA helper call bun could not load is checked at the installed path, not failed outright review-exploratory-small-cli failed gate census 37162480720 with 'command outside declared caller observation interface': the actor dropped one character from the shard directory in a gstack-qa-evidence capture path, bun refused to load it ('Module not found', exit 1), and the next call ran the same capture correctly. A failed call whose only output is bun's refusal for a gstack-qa-evidence/deadline path is now held to the interface as the same command at the installed helper path, so a compound or undeclared command still fails. * I1: plan-eng-review's final self-check names its three outputs The fixture-prompt repair did not hold: in 37162480720 plan-eng-review-artifact again wrote one review-output.md, ran the skeleton's read-back gate on it and stopped without the QA Test Plan artifact (no gstack-paths/gstack-slug block). The transcript shows the agent's last check before finishing is the skeleton's Section self-check, which said only 'and outputs'. It now names the saved report, the QA Test Plan artifact and the Review Log, each at its own destination or presented as not persisted (the existing write policy). * I1: revert the plan-eng-review self-check wording; it did not change the artifact outcome A local run of plan-eng-review-artifact in the CI image (Claude Code 2.1.284) at e2f65ab22 still wrote one review-output.md in 8 turns and ran no Bash, so the QA Test Plan artifact block never ran. Keep the skill text unchanged; the case is deferred with its evidence. * I1: seed the Codex files' periodic durations from their first executing run Every Codex file recorded ~1 s because its commands could not start in the container (codex-e2e*, outside-voice, workflow). Run 37162480720 executed them on the host-run job; its slice 24 walls replace the placeholders so the planner packs the Codex slice by real work (7 files, ~4.9 min estimated). * Refresh scripts/free-test-durations.json (bun run test:ubicloud --record-durations; covers the wave's new test files) * evals2 follow-ups: outside-voice-evidence helper in five case touchfiles; close the evals lane's Codex-CI, late-input, batching and brain-writeback TODOs (run 37162480720); CHANGELOG lines * fix(browse): take the next free X display when a concurrent allocator wins the race Pick-then-spawn let two allocators (parallel daemons or test shards) choose the same free display; the losing Xvfb exited and the handoff failed (run 6, handoff 'failure before launch'). spawnFreeXvfb now treats a display taken during startup as a collision and moves on. Regression test forces the race with a delayed Xvfb wrapper (pre-fix: fails; two-process repro 13/15 -> 0/15). * test(ci): read the host-run Codex eval job's docker env, mounts and uploads eval-codex-slices runs on the host and passes its executor env through docker -e flags and HOME through a $RUNNER_TEMP/eval-home mount. The evidence and coordination tests now map those back to the container view instead of assuming job.container, and the job's native-capture upload carries the qa-callers paths like the other executors. * I1: plan-eng-review-artifact runs the real interactive review in a PTY, replacing the composing fixture The claude -p case told the model to skip the preamble and questions and go straight to the review. In 37151477069, 37158847998, 37162480720 and a local CI-image run it wrote the whole review into one file without executing the workflow, so it measured composing, not /plan-eng-review. The interactive batching PTY run in 37158847998 did write the artifact during Test review, so there is no product defect. New test/skill-e2e-plan-eng-artifact.test.ts keeps the case id, tier (periodic), kind (rule) and budget (CAPTURE_LONG_MS): it drives the real /plan-eng-review over the same dashboard plan and sources, answers each question with its first option, stops once the QA test plan exists or the report completes, and asserts the same requirement (exactly one new eng-review test plan in the run's own state root, about the dashboard change). The composing case is retired from skill-e2e-plan.test.ts in this commit. runPlanSkillCounting reports engTestPlans (read before fixture cleanup) and passes them to isCollectionComplete. One paid run in the CI image (Claude Code 2.1.284): pass, collection_complete at 498 s with one test plan. The new file takes its own periodic runner (seeded at 498 s), so the periodic census plans 26 slices: the planner's --max-parallel and both executors' caps move from 25 to 26 so every slice still starts at once; the paid-file census pin moves from 106 to 107. * evals2 final: plan-eng-review-artifact touchfiles point at its PTY file and helpers; plan file wall drops the moved case Applies the lane's touchfiles-data patch (its outside-voice-evidence hunks were already in 9a96fb3). skill-e2e-plan.test.ts lost one 600 s case to skill-e2e-plan-eng-artifact.test.ts, so its periodic wall is two 900 s + two 600 s (3,000,000 + reserve) and its timeout pin lists the remaining cases. * TODOS/CHANGELOG: close plan-eng-review-artifact (real PTY review, 498 s pass) * test: plan-eng-review-artifact is a PTY runner consumer (selected by claude-pty-runner and pty-screen changes) * test(windows): spawn cmd.exe hooks verbatim, use a .invalid UNC host, and match CRLF fixtures and native separators windows-free-tests reds on 364f0f3, each verified on windows-latest (46 pass, 1 POSIX-only skip, 0 fail): - investigate-freeze-path cmd.exe cases: Bun MSVC-quoted the command line cmd.exe parses, so cmd saw \"bash and failed; Node's shell spawn (what Claude Code uses) passes it verbatim. - investigate-freeze-path UNC cases: a single-label host made each filesystem probe wait on network name resolution (cd 11 s, -L 2.8 s); a reserved .invalid host fails at once (55-80 ms). - paid-report-census: the junit fixture is CRLF in a Windows checkout. - codex-invocation-sites: rendered paths use backslashes on Windows. * eval(plan-design-with-ui): the Step 0D focus title may spell the seven dimensions as a word Run 37166586458 slice 5 (dfaf154) asked 'D2 - Review all seven design dimensions, or focus on specific areas?' and reached its review finding, but the focus predicate only accepted the numeral, so the case failed with no acknowledged Design focus. Both recognizers accept 7 or seven; the byte-exact capture is a free regression, and engineering/other-count/ no-'design' titles stay rejected. * eval(ship-docsync): git check-ignore is a declared read in the docs observation interface Run 37166586458 slice 2 (dfaf154): ship-docsync-completion's parent ran 'git check-ignore -v .qa-state' to verify the prompt's claim that the observer probe is Git-excluded. The read was outside the closed Git list, so the run's DOC_PATH replacement was unprovable and failed. check-ignore cannot write; it joins the list and the interface prose. Free regression replays the captured command against the fixture and keeps composition and redirects rejected. * fix(browse): read Xvfb's own startup error to classify a lost display race Run 10 (1ffd38e) failed handoff's concurrent promotion once: 'Xvfb on :100 exited during startup (code 1)' with the display free again by the exit check, so a holder that won the lock and closed within the 100 ms poll looked like a broken install. Startup stderr now goes to a private file; 'Server is already active for display' is a collision and moves on, and any other startup exit carries Xvfb's fatal line. Regression: a stub that reports the collision for one display and exits leaves spawnFreeXvfb on the next display (pre-fix: the misleading install error). * test: merged-main fixtures (E6 copies the Claude render library gstack-config now sources; the census fixture's plan-mode-no-op budget follows its v1.91.18.0 policy) * qa: materialize runs once per PROBE_DIR, and qa-only says §1 reuses the REPORT_DIR it resolved Run 37170610789 slice 3 (feaa28d): the qa-only workflow judge scored clarity 3.33 and named two ambiguities: §4 said materialize runs once per report root while mixed runs materialize each surface's PROBE_DIR, and SKILL.md deferred exploratory §1 without saying §1 reuses the REPORT_DIR resolved under Prepare Report Artifacts. A local run of the same judge on the repaired text: clarity 3.67, completeness 4.33, actionability 4 (pass); all three samples call the workflow internally consistent. * Regenerate generated output for the qa materialize/REPORT_DIR wording * eval: three detector defects from run 37170610789 (feaa28d) - safety-codex-consult-embed: the fake codex recorded argv only, but every codex exec takes its prompt on stdin since E5; it records stdin for the '-' form and the check reads both. - ship-docsync-missing-asset: 'ls ... 2>&1' on a read-only command is the same harmless stderr wrapper as '2>/dev/null'; stdout redirects, pipes and script calls stay rejected. - qa-functional-webhook-fix: a pre-repair capture whose command reran on the repaired inputs may be classified superseded (exploratory §4); the evidence check accepts that and still rejects superseded on a post-repair capture or one never rerun. Each free regression fails without its repair. * fix(test:free): a browser record removed mid-read by a shutting-down daemon is absent Run 13 (feaa28d) needed the flaky-retry for 'owned detached browser settlement > cancel': 2 unattributed failures instead of 1. A 16-vCPU stress run reproduced it once in 64 with the cause: 'browser ownership unavailable'. On SIGINT the cancelled daemon removes its state file; record() saw it exist, then lstat/read hit ENOENT, which failure() reports as an ownership error. ENOENT there now means absent. New mode cancel-vanishing-record forces the removal between the check and the read (pre-fix: 2 unattributed, deterministic; now 1). * test(windows): the 2>&1 wrapper regression uses relative reads (no native paths in literal commands) * test(plan-seed): wait for the fixture CLI's slash event instead of a fixed 50 ms Run 14 (b2f729b) needed the flaky-retry for 'startup-placeholder': the events log had paste/enter/end_turn but not yet the slash 50 ms after it was sent. The check now polls (bounded 5 s); the deadline assertion measures when submission settled, which is what it bounds. One test typecheck diagnostic goes away with the typed reader. * eval(plan-design-with-ui): recognize the Step 0D focus question by meaning, not one title spelling The b2f729b gate run titled it "I've rated this plan 5/10 on design completeness. Review all 7 dimensions, or focus on specific areas?", the third native wording to miss a spelling-pinned regex. The native form is now a class: a title that offers all seven (numeral or word) dimensions or passes versus a focus and names design. Captured titles from 37166586458 and this run pass; other counts, engineering passes, titles without design or without a focus stay rejected. * eval(shared-libs-read-only): curl answers the provider rate-limit probe with the same 404 as gh Gate census 37174266054 slice 9: the model probed API availability with curl -o /dev/null https://api.github.com/rate_limit (GET, discarded). The gh transport already answers rate_limit as an unknown endpoint (404); the curl transport refused it, and the refusal counted as a read-only violation. curl now gets the same 404. POST, file output, other repos and raw hosts stay refused. Paid rerun (gate, 1 trial): PASS in 177 s. * eval(shared-libs-plan-callers): an exclusion may combine states (unchanged/out of scope) Periodic census 37174266054: every option ended 'Scheduler semantics, existing callers and helper hardening stay unchanged/out of scope', which the actor read as proposing hardening. Exclusion states may now be joined by '/', 'or' or 'and'; the captured question is answered, and clauses that pair a state with a real change ('stay unchanged/harden the helper') are still refused. Paid rerun (periodic, 1 trial): PASS in 296 s. * paid: --case plan-eng-review-artifact selects its PTY test by its registered name A local --case run matched 0 tests (no spend): the PTY test's Bun name is not its case id, and CASE_TEST_NAMES had no label for it. * eval(plan-eng-review-artifact): periodic checkpoint resumes at Test review; the fresh full run moves to marathon A fresh interactive /plan-eng-review cannot reach Test review inside the 600 s periodic budget: startup plus one-at-a-time Scope Challenge questions took 595 s with six questions and no Test review in census 37174266054 and in a local run (one earlier fresh run passed at 498 s). Per the eval-speed policy, the long run moves to the non-blocking marathon lane and the blocking case becomes a focused checkpoint. - plan-eng-review-artifact (periodic, 600 s unchanged): resumes the real interactive skill from a saved review record: the plan, the Scope Challenge result, Sections 1-2 complete, and a Decision ledger rebuilt from that census run's six actual native questions and answers (test/fixtures/plan-eng-artifact-resume-37174266054.json). The live skill runs Section 3, Test review. Assertion unchanged: exactly one new eng-review test plan in the run's own state root, about the dashboard change. Paid trial (local, Claude Code 2.1.284): PASS, 364 s. - plan-eng-review-artifact-full (marathon, PTY_LONG_MS): the fresh start-to-finish run with the same assertion; budget measured beside it. - test/plan-eng-resume.test.ts proves the rebuilt record is a valid resume point and rejects missing, unanswered, edited or duplicated records. - Registry: touchfiles, tiers, kinds, test-name labels, durations, paid file count 115, PTY consumer list; CHANGELOG and TODOS. * setup-deploy: say which deploy fields count as confirmed, how to resolve the default branch, and group the detection tests Periodic census 37176837432: the setup-deploy workflow judge's actionability mean was 3.67 (4, 4, 3). The low sample named the Fly/Heroku/Railway/GitHub Actions deploy trigger left undefined until Step 4's 'not already confirmed' catch-all and an unstated way to find <default branch>, and misread 'A || B && C' detection lines. Step 4 now defines a confirmed field and names the paths that leave the trigger unset, <default branch> resolves with gh repo view, and the two OR'd detection tests are grouped explicitly (same behavior). One judge run on the repaired text: 4/4/4, pass. * Regenerate generated output for the setup-deploy wording * TODOS: census data for the skipped CEO mode handoff (mode-routing, auto-decide-preserved); floor runner Edit-permission parse under collapsed TTY spaces * fix(browse): a blocked navigation that fails at once leaves the tab blank and the next command clean PR CI on 8d2d269 (free-suite 3): the redirect to [::ffff:169.254.170.2] failed immediately on the runner, so its chrome-error page committed around the guard's about:blank reset, and leaving the error page committed a second about:blank after the reset resolved, interrupting the next three tests' gotos. The guard now lets the blocked request settle (bounded at 1 s; a hanging target is still cut off by the reset), resets, and waits for the main frame to stay quiet before returning. Regression: a redirect to a blocked address on Chromium's unsafe port 1 fails at once (pre-fix: blank check and the next goto fail, deterministically). * qa: the checkpoint note is created for browser runs and composed for functional ones Periodic census 37178143007: the qa-only workflow judge scored actionability 3.67 again; one sample read step 2's 'Create exploration-NNN.json' as applying to functional runs before reaching 'Functional: do not write this file'. The sentence now names both surfaces up front; byte-neutral (the browser line drops its restated clause), qa union 1.1098 under its 1.110 cap. One judge run on the repaired text: 3.67/4/4, pass. * Regenerate generated output for the qa checkpoint wording * eval(section-loading): byte-range prints of a section count as a complete read Periodic census 37178143007: plan-ceo-section-loading printed review-sections.md in five byte ranges (head -c 16000, then tail -c +N | head -c 17000, one-byte overlaps) and the detector, which matched whole printed lines, saw the lines split at each range edge as missing. Outputs of the commands that name the section are also joined on their overlap. Regression: the captured ranges count; dropping a middle range or the last range does not (pre-fix: the complete ranges were refused). * test(plan-design-review): count design terms the review wrote into the plan * fix(aside): probe names the platform (GSTACK_PLATFORM override) so the macOS pitch never re-probes the OS * fix(plan-ceo-review): Step 0E mode handoff runs gstack-ceo-mode-handoff so the selected mode is printed, not only composed * chore: refresh context-budget fixture * test(auto-decide): accept Step 0E's documented AUTO_DECIDE line with its decisions suffix; replay the captured trial * docs: CHANGELOG and TODOS for the CEO mode handoff and platform line * test(plan-design-review): plan-term credit needs a rated summary; adapter regression for census 37179171083 * test(auto-decide): the printed handoff may precede Step 0E's provenance log; replay census 37182865432; TODOS for two rotating census reds * test(plan-ceo-section-loading): read the skill's ledger and currentDecision records for the stale-fill decision; replay three census reports * test: $B counts as a browser call only in command position; qa functional prompt defines its classification values * test(shared-libs-plan-callers): a verbless unchanged-scope list is an exclusion; replay census 37186854666; TODOS for two census reds * fix(settings-hook): retry a lock released between mkdir and the existence check instead of dropping the mutation * test(ship-docsync): the child's reply to a parent SendMessage counts as its spawned-marker report; replay PR run 37188668421 * test(browse): Xvfb stub-failure tests allocate from ranges no other allocator uses * perf(ship): documentation gate snapshots and compares its candidate with gstack-docs-candidate * fix(review): unverified Codex mode runs the passes in the mode summary too; stale-fill decision check accepts any ledger row ID * test(shared-libs-plan-callers): judge scope by forbidden verb+object actions, not an exclusion grammar; replay six refusals and four passing censuses * test(shared-libs-plan-callers): type the brief-line parameter * test(ship-docsync): an inline-code status quote is not a false current claim; replay PR run 37196811165 * fix(review,ship): Codex challenge and structured-review bodies run in unverified mode, matching their headers * docs(TODOS): overlay-harness control-arm error and format-approach provider refusals, with run links * docs(TODOS): qa-only workflow judge data point --------- Co-authored-by: Lewis <lewispeel@hotmail.com> Co-authored-by: Yugz <yannduzelier@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Florian <florian.cleyetmerle@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: cdecook23 <decook23@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: mb1810 <michael.berger1810@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Koda <koda@edgeviewfinance.com.au> Co-authored-by: Merit Blake <merit@newsprint.com> Co-authored-by: Nguyen Thanh Dat <ntdat812@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: pneumorea-ai <pneumorea@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: maxpetrusenkoagent <max.petrusenko.agent@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Matt Van Horn <mvanhorn@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Infiniteyieldai <infiniteyield.ai@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Gabriel Rondon <grondon@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Davon Johnson <d.johnson@dayofshow.net> Co-authored-by: Kevin Grasso <kevin@biblingo.com> Co-authored-by: Xuan-Ce Wang <261591073+xwang4-svg@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: loulanyue <260355617@qq.com> Co-authored-by: Thomas Reuser <thomasreuser@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Bit0ps <alex.dreamscaper@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: oli548 <312288720+oli548@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Slava <slava.istomin@tuta.io> Co-authored-by: ryanlaiwy <129729476+ryanlaiwy@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: 李翊楠 <yinanli1917@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Mammad M. <mammad@digit.az> Co-authored-by: Lockyer <135391289+Lockyer228@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Spooks444 <193448029+Spooks444@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: punksterlabs <77217235+punksterlabs@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Jonathan Zhang <topcoder1@Mac-Studio.local> Co-authored-by: Marek Cermak <marek.cermak@strv.com> Co-authored-by: y$un_ <forrest.sun527@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: neallee <neallee@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: hardy <932821449@qq.com> Co-authored-by: afshaker <andrew@phone2.io> Co-authored-by: cube <frosimanuel@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: jacob-wang <jiayuw794@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: miao <miao@macmini-2.local> Co-authored-by: Jonah Berg <jonah.berg.g@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Jayesh Betala <jayesh.betala7@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Ryan Alberts <ryan.a.alberts@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: AlinValentin7 <AlinValentin7@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Evgenii Lopatin <e75533@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Jino <dgfrty00@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: snig-17 <santosh.m.tiwari@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Sholto McNeilage <sholto@nodenarrative.com.au> Co-authored-by: Phil Hie <philhie@outlook.com> Co-authored-by: Sinabina <sinabina@Sinabinas-MacBook-Pro-4.local> Co-authored-by: Jimmy Zeisweiss <4261258+jzeisweiss@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: liutiming <timingliu@outlook.com> Co-authored-by: Brandon Pugsley <aibpaem@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: benjamin beres <benjamin.beres@bienpreter.com> Co-authored-by: Som Samantray <som.samantray@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Vaughan <vaughan@cairnsitguy.com.au> Co-authored-by: Bharadwaj Mittapelli <bharadwajmittapelli@gmail.com>	2026-10-04 07:58:41 -07:00
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	2026-10-01 13:55:16 -07:00
Garry TanandClaude Fable 5	07b59e396c	v1.75.0.0 feat: ponytail import wave — simplification review lens, arm benchmark, reuse ladder, instruction-tier digest (#2722) ... * feat(autoplan): eng review always runs last — the gate reviews the final amended plan Reorder the pipeline to CEO -> Design (if UI scope) -> DX (if developer-facing scope) -> Eng. The old order (CEO -> Design -> Eng -> DX) let DX findings land AFTER the required gate signed off, so eng validated a stale plan. Accept-all semantics made explicit: every AskUserQuestion resolves to the recommended option; premises no longer pause the pipeline mid-run (clearly-wrong ones queue as User-Challenge items at the single Final Approval Gate). Eng's Codex voice now sees the DX consensus summary. New free static test pins the order; the chain E2E gains DX-between and Eng-terminal assertions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(review): simplification specialist — advisory over-engineering lens with ponytail's tag vocabulary New 8th Review Army specialist (DIFF_LINES > 100, --simplification force flag) hunting unrequested STRUCTURE only: delete/stdlib/native/speculative/shrink closed tags, one-line findings, lines_removable field. speculative: replaces ponytail's yagni: tag — we import the lens, not the posture; coverage stays sacred (Completeness Gaps owns it, suppressions inlined, shrink needs >=5 lines). Advisory carve-out in the merge step: advisory findings are excluded from quality_score and the findings-count header, render with an [ADVISORY] label, and are ASK-only in Fix-First. Zero-findings case prints the lens-scoped 'Simplification: lean already — nothing to cut.' from the PARENT (the specialist keeps the exact NO FINDINGS contract); with findings, the parent prints 'net: -N lines possible' summed from lines_removable. Tests: static pins for the carve-out + early-out contract (gen-skill-docs), two periodic e2e cases with planted fixtures — activation (over-build traps: hand-rolled Intl, one-impl abstract, dead config) and false-flag precision (a lean ETHOS 'choose A' diff must yield NO FINDINGS). Inspired by dietrichgebert/ponytail's /ponytail-review. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(preamble): reuse ladder in Search Before Building — rungs 2-5 of ponytail's ladder, completeness kept Tier-3+ skills gain a per-edit reflex the section only stated as research discipline: before writing new code, stop at the first rung that holds — repo helper, stdlib, native platform feature, installed dependency — then build the COMPLETE version of what remains. The closing clause is the explicit reconciliation with Boil the Ocean: the ladder governs structure, never coverage. Rungs 1/6/7 (YAGNI / one line / minimum that works) are deliberately NOT imported. Also ports ponytail's root-cause rule: one guard in the shared function beats a guard in every caller. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(preamble): bounded-closer output rule for tier-2+ skills After completing work, skills report in a few short lines — what changed, what was skipped, what to watch — and cut any explanation that outgrows the change. Explicit exemptions protect every mandated output: decision briefs, completion-status blocks, user-requested explanations, and report-shaped skills' report formats (the report IS the work in /qa-only, /plan-*-review, /retro, /document-generate). Rationale is signal-to-noise, not tokens: ponytail's own benchmark shows terse prose alone doesn't cut cost (caveman arm: -20% LOC, +7% tokens), and independent replications found its 'skipped on purpose' essays ate the code savings. Includes a good/bad closer example pair per the model-overlay guidance that a positive example beats a 'don't be verbose' instruction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(resolvers): terse-mode savings claim matches measurement — 2.6KB, not 3-5KB Measured on the v1.71 render: --explain-level=terse saves exactly 2,611 bytes per tier-2+ skill. The old ~3-5KB claim predated the preamble restructuring. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(retro,preamble): gstack-shortcut debt ledger — accepted shortcuts leave a joined trail When the user accepts an option that is BOTH Completeness <= 7 AND a durable-scope call, the decision ledger entry (gstack-decision-log, ceiling + upgrade trigger in the rationale) is the source of truth, and the agent marks each cut corner in code with gstack-shortcut(dec-<id>): <ceiling>, upgrade when <trigger> — same edit, no follow-up question, never agent-initiated. /retro Step 11.5 harvests markers into a debt ledger (grep || true — zero matches is the healthy case; skill installs and docs excluded), joins on the decision id so nothing double-counts, tags unlinked and no-trigger rot risks, and closes with 'N markers, M with no trigger.' /review suppressions: a marker with ceiling+trigger downgrades a would-be Completeness Gaps finding to acknowledged debt. Redaction test pins that the marker ships untouched (the ledger is the point) — it does not match the TODO(owner) hygiene shape. Format from dietrichgebert/ponytail's ponytail-debt; store inverted to gstack's existing decision ledger. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: refresh golden ship baselines after preamble additions (reuse ladder + bounded closer) The golden-file regression test pins the rendered ship skill byte-for-byte; the WS3/WS7 preamble sections are deliberate changes, so the baselines re-capture per the goldens' own update protocol. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(hosts): instruction-only tier — a 2KB committed rules digest any agent host can read New agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md (1,765 bytes, hard 2,048-byte budget): gstack's ethos one-liners, the reuse ladder, and voice rules for hosts with no install arm — Zed, Amp, Jules, or any AGENTS.md-reading agent. Generated by scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts, auto-refreshed by gen:skill-docs, committed like llms.txt so setup's explainer arms can point at it before any toolchain exists. First line carries the gstack version as its own staleness nudge. Delivery is print-path + user-performed copy ONLY: setup never writes or overwrites a user's AGENTS.md (a test pins this — no cp/ln/mv/redirect into AGENTS.md anywhere in setup). openclaw and hermes explainer arms print the path; slate keeps routing to the full Claude install and gbrain ships from its own repo. HostConfig gains the optional install.instructionTier slot, declared by both instruction-tier hosts. README host table now matches what setup actually does. Inspired by dietrichgebert/ponytail's instruction-tier AGENTS.md fallback — one generated source, never per-host hand copies. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(preamble): AskUserQuestion repetition cut — gated, passed NOT-WORSE A/B Removes the duplicate statements v1.71's compaction left in the AskUserQuestion Format section: the completeness rule restated in the prose triad, the auto-decide marker syntax stated twice, the Conductor-flakiness explanation stated twice, and the self-check's full triad restatement. Every verbosity floor and all 14 format pins stay (Layer 0 green). The gate this decision rested on ran before landing (new periodic skill-e2e-auq-repetition-cut-ab.test.ts, pre-cut ref 3263fffe vs this render, same harness as auq-verbose-vs-carved-ab): POST 7/7 format elements, substance 5 — identical to PRE. No degradation; the load-bearing-repetition hypothesis did not hold for these duplicates. Net: -236 bytes per tier-2+ skill (~9.7KB corpus). Golden ship baselines re-captured for the deliberate change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(evals): with-skill vs without-skill arm benchmark — measures whether gstack's behavioral layer earns its tokens Ponytail's honest-benchmark method pointed at gstack itself: 3 build-shaped tasks (native-platform over-build trap, CRUD endpoint, bug fix with planted decoys) x 2 arms, real claude -p sessions, scored on the git diff left behind. A research instrument, not a release gate — no assertion compares arm scores. Arms use the PROVEN project-scope pattern: the with-arm installs a build-discipline skill (extracted reuse-ladder + bounded-closer content, not whole-file copies) into the fixture's .claude/skills/ with a CLAUDE.md routing line and an explicit invocation; a live spike confirmed claude -p discovers and invokes project-scope skills via the Skill tool (3 turns, exact-output probe). Fixtures are git init + local bare origin; diff capture is three lines of git, no worktree machinery. Failure taxonomy: zero-diff arms are VALID scored cells (deterministic 0/none, no API call), harvest failures record harvest:null, judge_error cells are excluded from aggregates but named in the report — nothing drops silently. armJudge: fixed sonnet judge, 0-3 unrequested-structure rubric, must name the construct or say none, bounded retry-on-malformed; callJudge gains optional temperature/max_tokens (defaults unchanged). recordE2E now populates tokens_used for every E2E. Eval schema v2: harvest gains {insertions, deletions, net}, tolerant reads keep v1 runs comparable. Registered periodic in E2E_TIERS + touchfiles (with the auq-repetition-cut A/B); periodic detach timeout raised to the new shard-census floor. Free selftest (8 tests, zero API) pins fixtures, extraction, arm asymmetry, diff capture, judge plumbing, and the retry bound. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: absorb the ponytail-import wave into the guard fixtures — ceilings, schema pin, triad phrasing Skeleton ceilings re-captured for the 17 carved skills the wave deliberately grew (reuse ladder + bounded closer + shortcut trail, net of the gated -236B AUQ cut), each with its measured size in the comment per the carve-guards protocol. eval-store schema pin updated to v2 (harvest gains insertions/deletions/net). The AUQ prose-triad keeps its pinned per-choice phrasing ('explicit on EACH choice') while still deferring the score scale to the canonical Format rule — the shipped cut is strictly closer to the pre-cut text than the render that already passed the NOT-WORSE gate. Autoplan carve anchors follow the Phase 2.5 renumbering. Golden ship baselines re-captured. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: observability partial-file pin follows eval-store schema v2 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(test-runner): GSTACK_FREE_JOBS + opt-in flaky-retry pass for syscall-supervised sandboxes GSTACK_FREE_JOBS overrides the computed shard count (the free runner's analogue of the paid runner's EVALS_JOBS). On Vercel sandboxes, PID 1 installs a seccomp filter whose supervisor spuriously fails access(2) for busy processes — measured: 200/200 git-init probes fail 'Cannot access work tree: Permission denied' while the suite runs at 6 shards, 0/200 idle; statx succeeds while access fails on the same path in the same process. One serial mega-shard maximizes per-process pressure and fails too; 2 shards is the measured sweet spot. GSTACK_FREE_RETRY_FLAKY=1 (default OFF — dev boxes should see flakes) re-runs attributed failures once, serially, capped at 5 files; a clean retry downgrades to a loud FLAKY-PASS naming the offenders, a repeat failure stays red, timeouts and unattributed failures never retry. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): portable temp paths — TEMP_DIRS allowlist, tmpdir()-based test files Local path validation now accepts os.tmpdir() alongside the classic /tmp (new TEMP_DIRS in platform.ts): on macOS os.tmpdir() is /var/folders/..., and TMPDIR-honoring CI/sandbox environments point it elsewhere entirely — both are legitimate scratch space. Remote file serving (TEMP_ONLY) stays pinned to TEMP_DIR alone; no change to the exfil boundary. commands.test.ts drops 41 hardcoded /tmp literals for a tmpp() helper on os.tmpdir() (two message assertions now reference the same variable), and path-validation's symlink-escape test targets /etc/hosts instead of /etc/crontab — the target must EXIST for realpath to resolve the link (a dangling target falls back to the link's own path and passes vacuously), and /etc/crontab is absent on Amazon Linux. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(config): portable sha256 — Linux ships sha256sum, not shasum resolve-user-slug and endpoint hashing exited 127 on Amazon Linux (shasum is a macOS/perl tool). New _sha256_hex helper prefers sha256sum and falls back to shasum, matching gstack-verify-gate's existing pattern; both call sites converted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(next-version): only trust ls-remote when origin is actually configured Without the guard, git DWIMs the literal 'origin' as an ssh host/path; on hosts whose transport launders exit codes the probe 'succeeds' with zero branches and the allocator silently sees an empty queue — the exact duplicate-allocation failure (#2545) fetchGitClaimed exists to prevent. git remote get-url origin gates the probe; absence falls through to the existing local-refs path with its staleness warning. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(testing): sandbox-doctor — one command makes a cloud sandbox run the suite green Measured failure taxonomy for Vercel/Conductor sandboxes (missing /dev/fd, 64M /dev/shm, seccomp-supervisor access(2) EACCES under load, uid-1000 processes with FULL capabilities defeating chmod-denial tests, no X server, no git identity, Conductor git-shim exit-code laundering) plus the idempotent script that treats all of it and seeds the run recipe. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(config): converge on main's self-contained sha8_of — its tests extract the function standalone The merge kept a branch-local _sha256_hex helper; main's v1.72 landed the same portability fix inline WITH tests that extract sha8_of()'s text and run it under a shim-only PATH — a helper call can't satisfy that shape. Adopt the landed implementation at both hash sites. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: coverage for GSTACK_FREE_JOBS override and failingFiles attribution Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: coverage for TEMP_DIRS widening and remote-serving TEMP_ONLY asymmetry Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: coverage for gstack-shortcut marker grammar and retro harvest joint Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: coverage for sandbox-doctor shell syntax and idempotency guards Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test-runner): empty-shard outcome carries failingFiles; harden flaky-retry list The empty-shard early return omitted the (required) failingFiles field — tsc TS2741 — feeding undefined into the flaky-retry flatMap. Also drop the dead 'else if (worst !== 0)' guard (the enclosing if already pins it). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(release): version-bump write regenerates the version-stamped agents digest agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md embeds VERSION in its first line and is byte-freshness-gated (test/agents-digest.test.ts + Skill Docs Freshness CI), but nothing in the release path regenerated it — every version-bumping ship of this repo would land red. write now spawns the repo's own generator when present (agentsDigest true/false/null in the output JSON), and ship's evidence gate allow-lists the digest alongside VERSION/package.json. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): instruction-tier explainer prints the script-anchored digest path $(pwd) printed a nonexistent path when setup ran from any other directory; both arms now share one print_instruction_tier() using SOURCE_GSTACK_DIR. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(digest): broaden AGENTS.md writer tripwire; pin digest-resolver ladder lockstep The print-path-only guard now catches tee/install/rsync/dd/truncate, >> appends, and laundered variable-destination writes. New test ties the digest's hand-rendered reuse-ladder text to the preamble resolver so an edit to either fails CI instead of shipping drift. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(retro): shortcut harvest drops placeholder markers and convention docs The Step 11.5 grep matched documentation mentions (dec-<id>, dec-*) in checklists, resolver sources, and convention tests, reporting phantom debt rows on gstack itself. A trailing filter kills placeholder forms; prose tells the agent to discard convention-quoting hits. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(review): advisory findings count in per-specialist stats Without this, simplification (all-advisory by construction) would log findings:0 every run and auto-gate itself into permanent silence after 10 dispatches. The advisory carve-out governs score and header only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(evals): arm-benchmark harvest and judge hardening - Harvest diffs against the recorded seed SHA (origin/main is movable by an agent that commits AND pushes; a recorded SHA is not). - Fixtures get a node_modules .gitignore and the git wrapper a 64MB maxBuffer, so a vendored-dependency arm is scored instead of killing the cell. - The judge diff cap is a named constant with loud truncation (log + judge_reasoning suffix). - Judge prompt block markers carry a per-call random sentinel, so a diff containing a faked closing marker cannot escape the data block. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(evals): AUQ A/B vendored pre-cut arm + judge-error inconclusive taxonomy - The PRE arm read a branch-local SHA (3263fffe) that becomes unreachable on fresh clones after the squash-merge; the pre-cut render is now a vendored fixture. - A judge failure on one side no longer coerces substance to 0 (which fabricated DEGRADATION on POST-side failures and masked regressions on PRE-side failures): null substance = inconclusive, format still gates. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: regression pin for the originConfigured guard vs laundering git shims On healthy hosts the guarded and unguarded paths behave identically, so a revert passes the suite; only a shim that makes 'git ls-remote' exit 0 with empty output (the Conductor wrapper's observed behavior) exposes it. Pins that the empty 'successful' probe is never trusted as an empty queue. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sandbox-doctor): missing /dev/shm no longer aborts the doctor under set -eu Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(touchfiles): close dep-list gaps for the new evals - arm-benchmark entries gain ship/SKILL.md (buildBehavioralSkill extracts sections from the rendered ship skill) - review-army-simplification entries gain their planted fixtures + test file - auq-repetition-cut-ab gains llm-judge.ts and the vendored PRE fixture Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: re-capture context-budget fixture — lock the WS6-3 reduction and Step 9 deltas Per the ratchet protocol: the AUQ repetition cut shrank per-skill eager tokens but the fixture was never re-captured, leaving the win unlocked. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(release): digest regen is an explicit --regen-digest opt-in, not presence-sniffed code exec Review (security) caught the cycle-1 fix executing any repo's scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts on plain 'write' — arbitrary code exec from a hostile clone on a routine bump, contradicting the binary's own containment posture. The regen still runs the TARGET repo's generator (a 'trusted' copy beside the binary would false-red the freshness gate on version drift), but only under the flag: /ship passes it deliberately, in a repo whose code the operator already executes (its test suite). Plain write is side-effect-free again. Also: uniform output shape (agentsDigest: null on the JSON-manifest branch), a REAL generator round-trip test replacing the misnamed lockstep check, and land-and-deploy's evidence gate gets the same digest allow-path as ship so the two grading surfaces agree. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test-runner): flaky-retry vetoes on ANY unattributable failure evidence The gate equated 'some failure attributed' with 'all failures attributed': a shard with one attributed failure plus a headerless failure, an unhandled error between tests, or a truncated run (no terminal summary) qualified for retry — re-running only failingFiles and masking the rest as FLAKY-PASS, re-opening the silent-truncation hole the strict classifier closes. FreeShardOutcome now carries unattributedFailures; nonzero vetoes the retry. Pins: mixed shard, truncated-with-attributed shard, empty-shard field values. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(next-version): a configured origin advertising zero heads is never trusted The originConfigured guard covered only the no-origin laundering case. With origin configured (the normal Conductor worktree state), the laundering shim makes a failed ls-remote exit 0 with empty stdout — read as 'the queue is empty', the exact duplicate-allocation bug (#2545) one layer up. A reachable remote always advertises at least its default branch, so an exit-0 zero-head probe now falls back to local refs/remotes/origin with a laundering-specific warning. Regression test shims git for both configurations. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sandbox-doctor): loud on git-shim patch drift; document the retry-contract override - The /conductor/bin/git patch was a silent no-op if the shim's bytes drift from the exact pattern — now warns that laundering is NOT fixed. - The bashrc block documents why GSTACK_FREE_RETRY_FLAKY=1 deliberately overrides the runner's default-OFF contract on this sandbox, and how to undo it. - Test pins the guarded shm form (missing /dev/shm must not abort set -eu). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(digest): pin the script-anchored explainer path; catch declaration-prefixed writers - Asserts $SOURCE_GSTACK_DIR/agents-digest path and forbids $(pwd)/agents-digest (the cycle-1 fix was revertible without failing anything). - The laundered-assignment arm now matches local/export/declare/readonly/typeset prefixed assignments — the likeliest in-function writer shape in setup. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(evals): arm-benchmark selftest runs FREE on every PR The selftest lived inside the paid skill-e2e-* file, so fixture-integrity and plumbing pins executed weekly at best — a broken fixture would ship past every gating check and be discovered when the periodic run burned money on a dead instrument. Harness extracted to test/helpers/arm-benchmark-harness.ts, selftest to test/arm-benchmark-selftest.test.ts (free suite). Touchfiles: harness added to the three benchmark dep lists; the auq-repetition-cut-ab tier comment now states the MANUAL re-run obligation honestly (periodic runs force EVALS_ALL, so dep lists cannot auto-trigger it). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: re-capture context-budget fixture after cycle-2 template deltas Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sandbox-doctor): keep both heredoc bodies under the 512B pipe-deadlock window The cycle-2 additions pushed the python-patch and bashrc heredocs into the 512-65536B window test/heredoc-pipe-deadlock.test.ts guards (sh scripts get no BASH_COMPAT escape hatch). Same content, tighter prose; the drift warning now reuses the patch pattern variable instead of a second literal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(review): a gstack-shortcut marker only suppresses findings when its decision id resolves in the ledger Cross-model catch (Claude adversarial + Codex agreed): any diff author could fabricate a marker and silence Completeness review of that gap. Reviewers now resolve the dec-id via gstack-decision-search; an orphan marker is reported as a forged suppression, not honored as debt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(autoplan): define the B2 gate path — accepted premise challenges amend the plan and re-run Eng The final gate offered B2 (respond to User Challenges) but the option handler table omitted it, leaving accepted challenges with no amendment or Eng re-review path. B2 now walks challenges one at a time; an accepted one amends the plan and re-runs Eng (the gate always reviews the final plan), sharing D's 3-cycle cap. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(evals): arm benchmark runs each fixture's functional oracle — correctness before LOC The plan's metric order is diff-quality FIRST, but cells never ran the fixtures' own run-tests.js, so a refusal, a broken implementation, and working code were indistinguishable in aggregates (Codex adversarial catch). Tasks with an oracle declare checkCmd; every cell records checks=pass|fail|none in the report line and eval store. Selftest pins the oracle declarations and that the planted bug fails its own check pre-fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ship): check the bump's agentsDigest result; state the --regen-digest trust envelope honestly A failed digest regen warned and moved on — ship now instructs re-running the generator and staging the digest with the bump (the freshness check stays red otherwise). The 'no-op everywhere else' phrasing oversold safety: the step now names what executes and why that is inside the envelope Step 5 already opened (the repo's own test suite). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test-runner): GSTACK_FREE_JOBS accepts digits only — parseInt truncation defeated the loud-failure contract '2abc' silently became 2 and '3.7' became 3 despite the error text claiming a positive-integer requirement. Strict /^\d+$/ pre-check; both shapes pinned. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sandbox-doctor): atomic git-shim patch, :99-socket Xvfb check, dnf gate, non-interactive sudo - The /conductor/bin/git patch writes tmp-then-rename with a .orig backup — a concurrently spawned git can never exec a truncated shim. - Xvfb running-check looks for the :99 socket, not any-display pgrep. - Xvfb install is dnf-gated so non-dnf distros degrade to a warning instead of aborting the remaining fixes under set -eu. - The bashrc /dev/fd restore uses sudo -n || true — no password prompt at every shell start on non-passwordless machines. - BASH_COMPAT=50 keeps heredoc bodies off the bash pipe window. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(build): a failed agents-digest regen fails gen-skill-docs instead of deferring the red to CI Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): an untrustable TMPDIR (/, $HOME, a cwd ancestor) never widens the local allowlist TEMP_DIRS honors os.tmpdir() at daemon start; a daemon launched with TMPDIR=/ would have trusted the whole filesystem for local path validation for its lifetime. Subprocess pins cover /, $HOME, cwd-ancestor rejection and that a benign distinct TMPDIR (the sandbox recipe's $HOME/tmp) stays honored. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: zero-heads warning names the benign cause too; digest path declaration made load-bearing; ratchet re-capture - The ls-remote zero-heads warning no longer accuses an empty remote of running a laundering shim. - instructionTier.rulesFile now must equal the generator's DIGEST_RELPATH (and setup must print it) — the declaration fails with the real path instead of lying silently. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: file ship-time follow-ups in TODOS skillify HOME-override gate red (pre-existing, proven on main), the auq-verbose-vs-carved-ab branch-local ref, eval-store harvest union, evidence digest allow-path scoping, and the WS6-2 dead-frontmatter live-host verification deferral. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * v1.73.0.0 chore: version bump + CHANGELOG — ponytail import wave Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: raise ship skeleton parity ceiling — measured 75,592 after the v1.73 release-step prose The --regen-digest trust-envelope paragraph (Step 12) and the evidence-gate digest note (Step 16) grew the ship skeleton past the previous 75,420 ceiling. Re-measured per the deliberate-change protocol. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: update project documentation for v1.73.0.0 - README.md, docs/skills.md, AGENTS.md: /autoplan phase order corrected to CEO → design → DX → eng (eng always last); /review rows note the advisory simplification lens - docs/PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md: add agents-digest/, gen-agents-digest.ts, sandbox-doctor.sh, test-free-shards.ts to the annotated tree - CONTRIBUTING.md: document GSTACK_FREE_JOBS, GSTACK_FREE_RETRY_FLAKY, and the sandbox-doctor one-command fixer in the Tier 1 test section Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: apply cross-model doc-review fixes for v1.73.0.0 - README.md: host table gains the OpenClaw explainer arm row (setup has the arm; the table claimed to match setup) - docs/skills.md: /review completeness-gaps section documents the gstack-shortcut(dec-<id>) acknowledged-debt suppression and orphan-marker flagging; /autoplan deep-dive states the recommended-option default with the 6 principles as tie-breakers - CONTRIBUTING.md: host count 8 -> 10 (Hermes, GBrain), supported-hosts list completed - docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md: sandbox recipe says to source ~/.bashrc after the doctor seeds it; GSTACK_FREE_JOBS wording fixed from "caps" to "overrides in either direction" (matches the un-clamped runner) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): temp-dirs asymmetry pins are topology-aware; TMPDIR probes are POSIX-only CI exposed two wrong assumptions in the new temp-dirs tests, neither a product bug: - The remote-serving asymmetry test assumed a distinct os.tmpdir() lies OUTSIDE TEMP_DIR, but the free-shard runner nests each child's TMPDIR inside /tmp on CI — a file there is under TEMP_DIR, so serving it remotely is legitimate. The test now pins the actual exfil boundary on every topology (a cwd project file is locally readable, never remotely servable) and branches the os.tmpdir() case on nested-vs-outside. Reproduced locally with TMPDIR=/tmp/nested-tmp before fixing. - The untrustable-TMPDIR subprocess probes set TMPDIR, which Windows os.tmpdir() ignores (reads TEMP/TMP) — and on Windows TEMP_DIR is DEFINED as os.tmpdir(), so the fixed+movable two-dir topology the guard filters does not exist there. Probes now skip on Windows with that rationale; the benign-TMPDIR assertion compares realpaths. Verified under all three POSIX topologies: TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp (outside), TMPDIR=/tmp/nested-tmp (CI shard shape), TMPDIR unset (identical). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(build): DIGEST_RELPATH is a forward-slash literal on every platform path.join built it with backslashes on Windows, so the wiring test's string comparisons against setup and hosts/*.ts (which carry the forward-slash literal) could never match there — windows-free-tests red. path.join(root, DIGEST_RELPATH) at the write site normalizes fine. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sandbox-doctor): bashrc block re-heals the /dev/shm remount on sandbox restart The 4G remount does not survive restarts; a reverted 64M shm made the multi-tab browse handoff test fail consistently under suite concurrency (observed live: two consecutive full-run failures, green in isolation, green again after remounting). Same guarded arithmetic as the doctor body. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): close the cross-shard porcelain race that failed Windows CI Two-part fix for the gen-skill-docs-out-dir isolation-pin failure: - cookie-import-browser built its scratch cookie DBs inside the TRACKED browse/test/fixtures/ dir (created in beforeAll, deleted in afterAll), so they flash as untracked files mid-run — a concurrent shard's porcelain snapshot caught the window on Windows. The DBs now live in a per-run tmpdir; zero source-tree writes. - gen-skill-docs-out-dir is the free suite's only LIVE porcelain-snapshot test, so it joins TREE_MUTATING (the serial quiet window): any concurrent transient tree-write can race it, and its own spawned render rewrites llms.txt/agents-digest in place (idempotent on a fresh tree). The race is pre-existing; this branch's +5 test files reshuffled shard composition and exposed it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * v1.75.0.0 chore: queue-advance rebump — perth-v2 landed v1.74.0.0 on main The v1.73.0.0 slot this branch claimed was superseded when #2721 merged; same MINOR level relative to main per the versioning invariant. CHANGELOG entry renumbered (1.73.0.0 was branch-internal and never landed on main), digest restamped via --regen-digest. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test-runner): duration-packed walls keep the per-file floor — predictions don't transfer across machines The committed duration seed is recorded on fast CI; a syscall-supervised sandbox replays the same files 2-4x slower. Observed post-merge: a 253-file shard predicted ~242s was wall-killed at its predicted-x3 725s wall while genuinely progressing (the old count heuristic guaranteed 1265s). Packed walls may be looser than the count floor, never tighter.

8 people	28d59ad56c	v1.68.0.0 fix: next tracker wave — 16 verified fixes in, 90 stale PRs and 21 issues closed with receipts (#2632) ... * fix(plan-tune): reject never-ask on one-way ids at --write --check already ignored those prefs; --write still stored them and --stats counted them as a working NEVER_ASK. Refuse the write and count leftover on-disk prefs as INERT_ONE_WAY. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Fix: gstack-config get returns "" with exit 0 for keys that have no default Skill preambles read configuration with VAR=$(gstack-config get <key> 2>/dev/null || echo "<default>") and that fallback only fires on a non-zero exit. lookup_default ended in a catch-all that echoed "" and returned 0, so for any key missing from the table VAR came back empty and the default written right there in the preamble was unreachable. The skill then branched on a value it never specified: "skip entirely if QUESTION_TUNING is false", reached with QUESTION_TUNING="". Four keys that skills actually read had no entry and took that path: question_tuning -> callers assume "false" repo_mode -> callers assume "unknown" team_mode -> callers assume "false" transcript_ingest_mode -> callers assume "off" Each default above is the value the call sites already substitute in their own `|| echo` fallback, so this only makes reachable what was already intended. The catch-all now returns non-zero. That is deliberately scoped to the unknown-key arm alone: keys whose default is intentionally empty still exit 0, because "" is their real answer and their callers depend on it -- cross_project_learnings ("unset triggers the first-time prompt"), redact_repo_visibility ("empty falls through to gh/glab detection"), salience_allowlist, user_slug_at_*. Making every empty answer an error would have broken those. test/gstack-config-defaults.test.ts pins the class rather than the four instances: it parses the case arms and asserts every `gstack-config get <key>` site in the tree is covered, so adding a read without a default fails CI. It also pins the exit-code contract in both directions. Verified failing against the pre-fix script, where it names exactly those four keys. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(redact): a typo'd subcommand no longer exits 0 having done nothing main() recognised exactly two subcommands and let everything else fall through to the stdin scan. On empty stdin that prints "(no findings)" and exits 0, so: $ gstack-redact install-prepush-hooks # plural typo gstack-redact scan — repo UNKNOWN (no findings) $ echo $? 0 No hook was installed, and the operator has every reason to believe the credential guard is armed. A guard that silently no-ops must never exit 0. Two smaller faults in the same dispatch, both of which lead people here: - There was no --help handler, so `gstack-redact --help` fell through to the scanner. Piping a credential to it scanned the secret and exited 3. - With no piped input and no --from-file, readInput() blocks on readSync(fd 0) until an EOF that an interactive terminal never sends. That prints nothing at all, so it reads as a hang rather than as "this is a filter, feed it". Now: --help/-h/help prints usage and exits 0; an unrecognised positional prints the offender and exits 1; a TTY with nothing piped in prints usage instead of blocking. "scan" stays accepted, because the human output header reads "gstack-redact scan — repo …" and that is what people type. Usage errors exit 1, deliberately not 2 or 3. Those mean MEDIUM and HIGH findings and callers gate dispatch on them, so a usage error exiting 2 would be read as "medium findings — prompt the user". A test pins that. Tests: 4 written failing first, then fixed. Full suite 7,722 pass / 0 fail. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): one ambiguous ref no longer kills the whole annotated screenshot `snapshot -a` exits 1 with "Selector matched multiple elements" on most real pages, so /qa, /canary and /land-and-deploy silently produce reports whose screenshots do not exist. Plain `screenshot <path>` is unaffected. Refs are built as getByRole(role, {name}) and disambiguated with .nth() when role+name repeats. That disambiguation cannot fire for a node with NO accessible name: the locator degrades to getByRole(role) with no name filter, and the count driving .nth() is taken from the FILTERED aria snapshot while getByRole matches the unfiltered DOM. Measured on a live page: the tree surfaced 2 unnamed paragraphs, the DOM had 9. Landmarks (banner/main/contentinfo) and paragraphs are correctly unnamed per ARIA, so this is the common case rather than an edge case. boundingBox() then hits Playwright strict mode, and the catch allowlisted only timeout/closed/Target/Execution-context messages — so the strict-mode error was re-thrown and aborted every remaining annotation. Two changes: - `.first()` before boundingBox(), so an ambiguous ref draws a box on its first match instead of aborting. The heatmap path below has always tolerated this via a bare `catch {}`; annotate was the only path that could be killed outright. - the catch no longer re-throws on unrecognised messages. A box we cannot measure is a box we do not draw, never a reason to lose the rest of the page. Set BROWSE_DEBUG to see what was skipped. Also: `-o` passed without `-a`/`-H` was silently ignored (exit 0, no file), which reads as "screenshots are broken" rather than "you forgot a flag". It now warns and points at `browse screenshot <path>`. Verified by rebuilding both ways against the same page with 51 refs present: before — "Selector matched multiple elements", no file written after — exit 0, 229KB PNG Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(version-bump): missing or empty VERSION no longer repairs a fabricated 0.0.0.0 into package.json repair now fails with exit 2 when the VERSION file is absent or empty instead of folding to DEFAULT ("0.0.0.0") — which passed VERSION_RE and regressed package.json below where it started. classify gains an additive versionFileExists field so /ship can tell a real 0.0.0.0 from a fabricated one. Re-derived from PR #2612 under the generated-file screening rule. Fixes #2600 (repair half; the path-configurability half landed in v1.67 via #2531). Contributed by @Lockyer228 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory-ingest): --probe counts post-attribution, through the same gate --bulk uses probeMode previously stat'd every walked file, so setup-gbrain gated its silent bulk ingest on pre-filter counts that the write path would never ingest (#2394). The attribution decision now lives in ONE shared gate (sessionIsAttributable — cheap-parse: cwd extraction + memoized resolveGitRemote, never a full page build) used by BOTH probeMode and preparePages, so the two stages' post-attribution counts are structurally identical. ProbeReport gains skipped_unattributed; the probe prints what it excluded and --include-unattributed restores raw counts. The parity is pinned at the prepare stage (probe post-attribution == transcripts reaching import), deliberately NOT == final written. Re-derived from PR #2612 under the generated-file screening rule; the shared-gate design and the remote memo are additions from the plan review. Fixes #2394. Contributed by @Lockyer228 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(browse): allow CPU and network throttling for performance measurement Adds Emulation.setCPUThrottlingRate and Network.emulateNetworkConditions to CDP_ALLOWLIST. Motivation: diagnosing a real "uploads take 1-2 minutes" report, the only machine available was a fast developer workstation. Client-side processing measured 1.4s where the user experienced minutes, so the conclusion had to be reached arithmetically rather than observed. Throttling would have let the measurement reproduce the reporter's conditions directly. Both fit the existing posture rather than widening it: - Emulation already allows setDeviceMetricsOverride, clearDeviceMetricsOverride and setUserAgentOverride, which are equally mutating and scoped to the tab. - Neither method reads page content. setCPUThrottlingRate affects only timing; emulateNetworkConditions constrains traffic rather than inspecting it, so no request bodies, headers or cookies are exposed. Both are output: 'trusted' because they return no page-derived data. scope 'tab' for both, matching the surrounding Emulation entries. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(session-update): lock pidfile records the live holder; hard TTL bounds every wedge (#2613) echo $$ inside the backgrounded subshell recorded the PARENT hook's PID — which exits immediately — so every subsequent session judged the lock stale and rm -rf'd a LIVE holder's lock, letting concurrent updaters run over each other. The pidfile now records ${BASHPID:-$(sh -c 'echo $PPID')} (macOS bash 3.2 has no BASHPID; the sh child's PPID is exactly this subshell). Staleness is now two independent detectors: PID liveness (as before, but against the real holder), and a 30-minute hard TTL on the heartbeat mtime — reclaimed regardless of kill -0, so a recycled PID or hung holder can't wedge the lock forever. The holder touches the pidfile after the pull and after setup, so a legitimately-slow run keeps itself alive. Empty and missing pidfiles are respected inside the TTL window (the mkdir→echo race) and reclaimed past it. Fixes #2613. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(browse): explicit windowsHide on every Bun.spawn site + census tripwire (#2575 residual) Bun.spawn sites were structurally outside the windowsHide census (it swept child_process bindings only). The runtime was already safe — native Bun hides consoles by default and bun-polyfill.cjs defaults windowsHide !== false since #2523/#2539 — but implicit defaults are exactly what regress silently. Every Bun.spawn/spawnSync in browse/src now carries the explicit flag (harmless on unix-only sites like Xvfb/xattr/open), and a second SWEEP in windows-spawn-hide.test.ts fails CI on any new flagless Bun.spawn site. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gbrain): brain worktree advances on the daily sync — no more silently stale brains (#2516) The daily pull refreshed only ~/.gstack itself, never the detached worktree at ~/.gstack-brain-worktree that gbrain actually indexes — so after setup the brain served stale pages forever unless setup-gbrain/sync-gbrain happened to run. brain-sync --once now advances the worktree once per 24h behind an ATTEMPT stamp (.brain-worktree-last-advance — a persistently-failing advance warns once a day, not at every skill boundary), inside the existing run lock and before any ingest step touches the worktree. The new gstack-gbrain-source-wireup --advance-only is built for the unattended cadence: git-only (no gbrain prereqs), pins every operation to the managed worktree (refuses paths that are not worktrees of the artifacts repo), refuses dirty worktrees, and never runs the force-remove recovery — a cron path must not be able to delete local changes. A static pin keeps the force-remove out. docs/gbrain-sync.md stops overclaiming the old cadence. Fixes #2516. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(memory-ingest): honor the per-remote deny/read-only trust policy (#2392) Transcript ingest now respects the same trust store as code import — the gate existed only in gstack-gbrain-sync's runCodeImport, so memory-ingest happily ingested transcripts from deny-listed repos. preparePages filters prepared transcript pages through ONE batch policy lookup (new 'get --batch' verb on bin/gstack-gbrain-repo-policy — the script owns URL normalization; the client adds repoPolicyTierBatch, one spawn for all distinct remotes, so large corpora never pay a 10s-timeout subprocess per remote). Outcomes match code-import semantics: read-only → clean skip (skipped_policy_readonly), deny → counted refusal (skipped_policy_deny), corrupted/unreadable store → HARD ERROR before any write (state, staging, egress receipt, and import all untouched) with the recovery command named — policy corruption must never read as successful ingestion. Artifacts are never policy-filtered (their git_remote is a project slug, not a remote). Fixes #2392. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(config): repo_mode keeps its empty no-default semantics (#2611 follow-up) The ported defaults table synthesized repo_mode → "unknown", but EMPTY is load-bearing for that key: gstack-repo-mode treats any non-empty answer as a user override and skips its own repo classification — the synthesized default turned the classifier into dead code (REPO_MODE=unknown everywhere; caught by test/gstack-repo-mode.test.ts via the wave's cross-agent blame protocol). repo_mode joins the empty-is-real carve-outs (empty output, exit 0). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(pair-agent): consent before killing a healthy headless daemon The pair-agent headed switch spawned 'connect --force-restart' unconditionally — auto-killing a live headless daemon (open tabs, cookies, logins) in direct contradiction of the iron rule it sits beside ('only an explicit --force-restart may kill a live daemon'). The CLI now captures daemon liveness BEFORE ensureServer (which can itself boot a fresh daemon) and relaunches only when the user passed --force-restart to pair-agent; otherwise it prints the tab count and continues against the existing daemon. The /pair-agent skill gains a matching one-way-door consent question (template half rides the wave's template block). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gbrain-status): MCP scoping is per-project, and project-local beats user scope hasRemoteOnlyGbrainMcp scanned EVERY project's mcpServers in ~/.claude.json, so one project's remote gbrain registration reclassified broken local engines as thin-client machine-wide. It now reads user scope plus only the cwd's nearest-ancestor project key. The precedence itself was verified empirically and hermetically (fake HOME + CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR fixtures, claude 2.1.233): with both scopes defining gbrain, 'claude mcp get gbrain' reports Scope: Local config — PROJECT-LOCAL WINS. Both in-repo consumers assumed the opposite; brain-cache's endpoint resolution flips to nearest-ancestor-project-first, and the stale user-first pin in brain-cache-roundtrip now pins the verified precedence. (The user-first jq in the brain-sync preamble resolver gets the same swap in the template block.) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(slug): gstack-slug matches remote-slug's owner-repo canonical form (live misfile bug) Found live during this wave's CEO review: bin/gstack-slug emitted SLUG=garrytan for this garrytan/gstack worktree while remote-slug correctly gave garrytan-gstack — decisions, timeline, ceo-plans, and learnings were filing into the wrong project store (observed polluting Context Recovery with another repo's decisions). Root cause: a stray empty ~/.git directory made the walk-up crown $HOME as the outermost project root; the remote lookup ran only against that root, failed silently, and the basename fallback cached 'garrytan' sticky. NOT worktree-specific — any strong marker on a non-repo ancestor triggered it. Fix: the walk now finds the outermost ancestor whose .git actually resolves an origin remote and derives owner-repo with remote-slug's byte-identical parse; marker-only ancestors keep anchoring the basename fallback but can no longer shadow a real remote. A new cache self-heal recomputes the poisoned shape (cached == basename of a marker root while a remote-bearing repo exists below), preserving legit #2212 stickiness. Nested-repo walk-up, no-remote and non-git fallbacks, and the SLUG=/BRANCH= eval contract are unchanged, pinned by a 10-case parity suite. Store migration for pre-fix data is tracked in TODOS.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(brain-sync): per-record spool dir — the enqueue/drain race dies structurally Producers appended lines to .brain-queue.jsonl while the drain re-read and os.replace'd it; the in-code comment admitted a lockless append between the re-read and the replace was lost. Locks and rename-rotation designs were both reviewed and rejected (each retained a tail race); the shipped design is a maildir-style spool: one FILE per record in .brain-queue.d/ (tmp + atomic rename), the drain snapshots filenames, processes, and deletes exactly what it snapshotted. Writer and drainer never share an inode — nothing to race. Semantics: at-least-once (a crash between process and unlink re-drains; downstream content-hash dedup absorbs duplicates); retained (privacy-held) records keep their files; unparseable records are kept + warned, never destroyed. Legacy .brain-queue.jsonl migrates atomically on the next drain (crash-leftover .migrating files recovered too); status/drop-queue count both surfaces; discover-new writes spool records and advances its cursor per-record-written. The preamble's queue-depth line switches to spool count in this wave's template block. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(bin-context): native slug fallback walks up like bash gstack-slug slugFromEnvironment derived the slug from the INNERMOST repo's origin while bash gstack-slug walks to the outermost project root — nested/vendored repos split their stores across the bash/native boundary (win32 hits the native path constantly). The native fallback now ports _outermost_project_root faithfully (strong/weak markers, outermost-strong-wins, 64-depth cap, fixed-point termination) plus the full resolution order: env override → walk-up → sticky cache with the #1125 self-heal → remote get-url → basename. Twelve mirrored scenarios drive BOTH implementations against the same fixtures and pin identical slugs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(next-version): git fallback queries the live remote, never mutates, and keeps 3-digit width The degraded path counted every remote-tracking ref on every remote — stale experiment branches and second remotes inflated version allocation, and a failed base read flipped 3-digit repos to 4-digit slots. Now: ls-remote --heads origin first (GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0, 5s timeout, zero local ref mutation); on failure, local refs/remotes/origin ONLY with an explicit stale-refs warning; a failed base read zeroes at the LOCAL version file's width so a 3-digit repo allocates 0.0.1, not 0.0.1.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): hooks register the global-install path and re-point stale ones Registering hooks from a dev worktree baked that worktree's absolute path into settings.json — deleting the worktree left a dead hook erroring on every session stop, and the presence-only dedup (list-sources | grep) could never re-point it. setup's hook paths now route through _hook_install_path (global install preferred, source dir fallback), and the new ensure-event verb on gstack-settings-hook compares the registered command payload against canonical: identical → no write, different → single atomic replacement (never zero or two registrations). The plan-tune hooks had the same stale pattern and get the same fix without re-triggering their consent prompt. Also hardened: bun 1.3.13 turns an uncaught sync fs error in bun -e into a SILENT exit 0 — the registrar's write path now catches, prints, and exits 1, so a failed update can never report fake-green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(preamble): learnings capture is unconditional at completion (#2402) 43 of 44 learnings entries came from explicit /learn — the completion-status prose read 'if you discovered a durable project quirk... log it', which models treated as optional. The step now ALWAYS runs: review the session for durable learnings, log each one, and state 'No durable learnings this session' explicitly when the review comes up empty — an empty result, never a skipped step. Re-derived from PR #2612 under the generated-file screening rule. Fixes #2402. Contributed by @Lockyer228 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(scrape): untrusted-content warning on the page-fetching skills (#2441) /scrape and /skillify consumed page content with zero injection guidance — the CHANGELOG claimed coverage the skills didn't have. The warning now lives in ONE exported const (UNTRUSTED_CONTENT_WARNING in resolvers/browse.ts), embedded in the browse COMMAND_REFERENCE as before AND injected standalone into both skills via the new {{UNTRUSTED_CONTENT_WARNING}} token — single source, wording can never drift between surfaces. Re-derived from PR #2612 under the generated-file screening rule. (Structural isolation for skillify-generated code is tracked as its own TODO.) Fixes #2441. Contributed by @Lockyer228 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(review): checklist paths resolve from the installed skill root (#2518) /review Step 2 read .claude/skills/review/checklist.md — a path relative to the TARGET repo, which only resolves in gstack's own checkout. Every checklist/greptile-triage/TODOS-format reference (six across five templates — two more than the issue named, same class) now uses the installed-root form ~/.claude/skills/gstack/review/... that the templates' other references already use. The install-root class itself (non-default install dirs) is #1882, deliberately its own PR. Fixes #2518. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(pair-agent): one-way-door consent question before a daemon relaunch (template half) The skill flow now checks daemon liveness before Step 4 and asks an explicit one-way-door question (tabs/cookies/logins are lost) before passing --force-restart — never proceeding on a vague reply. Pairs with the CLI-half commit that stopped pair-agent auto-killing live daemons. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(codex): resume does not amortize the ~21K session prelude (#2387) Measured (#2387): every codex exec call pays Codex's session prelude, and a resumed call came in slightly ABOVE a fresh one — resume buys continuity, never token savings. The skill now says so where the resume flow lives: prefer one codex call per skill, batch questions into it. Fixes #2387. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(upgrade): fast-forward first; reset --hard only behind a proved-safe gate (#2517) /gstack-upgrade went straight to stash + reset --hard origin/main. Now it tries git pull --ff-only --autostash first (the same policy session-update's auto-upgrade uses). The destructive fallback runs unprompted ONLY when both git status --porcelain AND git rev-list origin/main..HEAD are empty — a clean tree with unpushed local commits is NOT safe, reset destroys them. Anything else requires an explicit one-way-door confirmation that lists every dirty file and unpushed commit being discarded. Fixes #2517. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(preamble): brain-sync block counts the spool queue and resolves MCP project-first Two resolver halves deferred from earlier wave commits: the queue-depth line counts .brain-queue.d/*.json spool records (plus legacy lines until the drain migrates them), and GBRAIN_MCP_ENTRY_JQ swaps its operands to nearest-ancestor-project-first — matching the empirically verified Claude Code precedence (project-local beats user scope) instead of the backwards user-first assumption. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: regenerate SKILL.md docs + golden fixtures (single regen for the template block) Pure generator output for the six template/resolver commits above (learnings capture, untrusted-content warning, review paths, pair-agent consent, codex resume note, upgrade ff-only, brain-sync block) — bun run gen:skill-docs + --host codex + --host factory, with the three ship golden fixtures refreshed per the documented procedure. The three sidecar-path pins in gen-skill-docs.test.ts move to the new installed-root/$GSTACK_ROOT contract (#2518). Restores template freshness; full suite green from here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: TODOS.md — strike the six wave-fixed residuals, add two follow-ups The v1.67 adversarial-review residuals section shrinks to the one item the wave couldn't reach (iOS tap routing — needs real-device verification). New entries: skillify structural isolation (a prose warning is not a boundary for page-derived generated code) and the slug store migration (pre-fix sessions on stray-marker machines filed data under the degraded slug; post-fix reads go to the correct store, so history needs a merge/alias). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: align cross-cutting pins with the wave's contracts Three suites pinned pre-wave behavior: browse's gstack-config test asserted the old unknown-key ''/exit-0 shape (#2611 made it exit 1); the Windows-paths suite pinned O_APPEND enqueue atomicity (the spool design satisfies the same invariant via tmp + os.replace, one file per record — pinned in its new form); and nine carve-guard skeleton ceilings absorbed the #2402 unconditional-learnings prose (~450B per skill), bumped with measured values per the guard's own protocol. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: re-anchor the referenced-path scanner self-check to the gstack-rooted review refs The self-check pinned the review checklist as a class-1 alias-relative ref; #2518 moved those refs to the installed gstack root (class 2). The guard now proves the scanner sees them in their new class, so the class-2 assertion can't go vacuous. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: pin the wave's prose-tier behaviors (ship coverage-audit gap closure) The coverage audit found one regression-shaped gap: nothing pinned that the upgrade template's ff-only pull precedes the gated reset --hard (#2517) — a future template edit reverting to reset-first would fail nothing. Pinned: the ordering, the FF_OK gate, and the unpushed-commits check. Also pinned the two minor gaps: the {{UNTRUSTED_CONTENT_WARNING}} injection points in scrape/skillify (#2441) and brain-uninstall's spool-dir cleanup. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: pre-landing review round — 8 auto-fixes + 8 accepted findings hardened The ship review army (4 specialists + red-team + checklist, 29 findings) produced 8 mechanical auto-fixes and 11 decisions; the accepted set: - win32 slug parity completed: lib/bin-context.ts gains the remote-first outermost walk + degraded-cache self-heal the bash side got this wave — the two implementations now agree on the stray-marker live-bug shape, pinned by shared fixtures (multi-specialist 9/10 finding). - probe honors the plan's bounded-read decision: 256KB prefix, extraction semantics mirrored from parseTranscriptJsonl so probe/prepare can never diverge on the same file (>1MB transcript test). - policy normalize parity: bash normalize() now matches canonicalizeRemote on .git/-trailing and uppercase-.GIT shapes (7-shape corpus pinned two ways) — a deny for those shapes could previously slip the transcript gate. - session-update reclaim is TOCTOU-safe (atomic mv-aside on both branches). - settings-hook: unparseable settings.json errors instead of being replaced with {}; ensure-event keys on (event, source) so matcher changes update in place — never zero or two registrations. - dot-only slug guard at both parse sites (hostile 'url = ..' can't escape projects/); enqueue tmp-file janitor (1h TTL, inside the drain lock); brain-sync .migrating never clobbered; drop-queue/status count .migrating; snapshot -o warning correct + surfaced in diff mode; version-bump test order-dependence removed; uninstall clears the advance stamp. Deferred with record: slug heal-probe cost sentinel (P3 TODO), FF_OK conflation (noted, misdiagnosis-only). 270 pass / 0 fail across the 10 touched suites. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: adversarial round — the P0 finalize fail-safe and 12 hardened findings Three adversarial passes (Claude fresh-context, Codex chaos, Codex structured with P1 gate) on the full wave diff. Multi-source findings, all fixed: - P0: finalize_queue is now explicit-delete-only — a record is unlinked ONLY when classification proves it staged or dropped; a classifier crash, a missing class file, or a malformed pulled .brain-privacy-map.json (which previously nuked the whole snapshotted queue, remotely triggerable) now retains everything, warns, and re-drains next run. load_privacy_map treats corrupt maps as retain-all, never as empty. - next-version cannot silently drop a live claim: unreadable advertised refs get a targeted --depth=1 fetch + retry; still-unreadable claims surface as UNKNOWN warnings instead of duplicate-version silence. - session-update lock: ownership-checked EXIT trap (a TTL-reclaimed holder can no longer delete the new holder's lock) + a 5-min background heartbeat so a legitimately-slow pull/setup is never reclaimed while alive. - ensure-event collapses ALL same-(event,source) duplicates to one canonical entry; unique per-process tmp path; setup call sites surface (not swallow) the hardened refusals. - memory-ingest: --limit counts only policy-permitted pages (denied records no longer starve permitted ones); --probe applies the same policy filter as --bulk (skipped_policy_* fields on the report). - version-bump repair accepts a genuine literal 0.0.0.0 VERSION file. - slug heal restricted to the stray-.git shape — package.json-anchored wrapper roots keep their legit sticky identity (#2212 preserved). - brain-sync: idle fast path sees leftover .migrating records; unparseable spool records quarantine instead of warning forever; migration comment stops overclaiming the transition-window race. - CDP throttling justifications document override persistence (callers own restoration), pinned in the allowlist test. Deferred with record: deny retroactivity for already-ingested pages (P2 TODO, same semantics as the code-import gate); legacy-migration tail race (transition-window, requires pre-spool writers). 288 pass / 0 fail across the 10 touched suites. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: regenerate SKILL.md docs + goldens (Windows-separator jq fix) Pure generator output for the brain-sync block's jq ancestor match now accepting backslash-formed Windows project keys — previously project-scoped brains were invisible on Windows while the TS scope resolvers saw them. Golden ship fixtures refreshed per the documented procedure. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: codex verify-pass residuals — chunked cwd read, post-filter partial count, migrating depth The verify re-review passed the P1 gate (0 P1s) and left three residuals, all applied: transcriptCwdFromPrefix reads in chunks until one complete record (4MB cap) so a giant first prompt can't truncate mid-JSON and break probe/bulk parity; partial_pages derives from the FINAL prepared set instead of the whole scanned corpus; the preamble queue-depth line counts leftover .brain-queue.jsonl.migrating records like the status path does (regen + goldens included). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.68.0.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: update project documentation for v1.68.0.0 BROWSER.md: fix the $B cdp example (positional JSON params, not --json; depth is the real CDP param) and add the new perf-throttling examples (Emulation.setCPUThrottlingRate, Network.emulateNetworkConditions) with their clear-override counterparts. USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK.md: the state-files table row for the sync queue now names the maildir-style spool dir .brain-queue.d/ that replaced .brain-queue.jsonl this release. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: align memory-pipeline probe pins with the #2394 stage-count contract The paid-tier E2E pinned the pre-fix contract (probe headline = raw discovered). Probe now counts post-attribution — the same gate --bulk uses — with an explicit unattributed-skip line. Adds the --include-unattributed companion pin so all 9 fixtures stay accounted for. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(next-version): batch missing-tip fetches — one bounded round trip, never a per-branch crawl The targeted-fetch retry for branches whose advertised tip has no local object ran ONE git fetch per branch (10s cap each). On a shallow clone against a busy remote that crawls the network for minutes — CI's shard deadline killed the free suite mid-file. Missing tips now collect into a single batched shallow fetch (15s cap); refs still missing after the batch (one unservable ref fails the whole transfer) get a capped per-branch retry, and anything past the cap warns as an UNKNOWN claim instead of fetching. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(next-version): pin the batched fetch + make the offline-contract tests hermetic Two new G2 pins: N unfetched claim branches resolve with exactly ONE fetch spawn (PATH-shimmed git counts invocations), and one unservable ref no longer poisons the batch — live claims resolve via the bounded retry while only the ghost warns UNKNOWN. The #2545 offline-contract tests now run the CLI in a local fixture repo instead of the repo's own checkout: the checkout path did a live ls-remote against the real origin (operator-network-dependent, and the CI shard-deadline hang). The online-contract test gains a succeeding gh stub, so fallback:null is asserted deterministically instead of only when the operator happens to be authed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(redact-cli): derive the synthetic AWS-key fixture — no contiguous credential literal in source The CI quality gate scans every ADDED diff line with the redact engine, so the #2610 port's raw fixture literals failed the very gate they exist to test. The fixture is now assembled at runtime; the scanner still receives the identical bytes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(next-version): pin the fixture's host via origin-URL sniff — kills the last environment dependence The hermetic offline-contract fixture had no origin remote, so detectHost() fell through to auth probes: a machine with glab authed passed via the gitlab path while a bare CI runner read host:unknown (offline stays false there) and failed. The fixture now pushes to a local bare origin at a path containing github.com — the URL sniff pins host:github identically everywhere, asserted explicitly in both tests, with every git call still local.

+2131 people	ae8914af7e	v1.67.0.0 fix: the tracker wave — XProtect self-heal, complete installs, brain-sync integrity, 31 community PRs credited (#2604) ... * fix(test): host-config goldens self-provision .agents/.factory artifacts Fixes #2532. The codex/factory golden tests read gitignored artifacts that only gen-skill-docs.test.ts (serial tree-mutating phase) produces, so the file failed in isolation and on clean clones (the #2536 "3 failures then 0" symptom). beforeAll now generates a host's artifacts iff its ship SKILL.md is missing — never overwriting existing ones, so stale artifacts still fail the golden. The file is also classified TREE_MUTATING so its provisioning runs in the serial window, not racing parallel readers. Verified: full pass with .agents/ and .factory/ deleted (74/74 in isolation). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): exempt the live repo tree from hermetic-wiring's operator-~/.claude ban The skill-seeding tripwire asserted every seeded symlink target must NOT start with ~/.claude — but on the default global-git install the repo itself lives at ~/.claude/skills/gstack, so every CORRECT symlink (which must resolve into the live repo tree, as the very next assertion requires) carried the banned prefix. The test could never pass on a default install: pristine v1.64.1.0 (c118e240) fails it in any worktree under ~/.claude/skills/ and passes elsewhere (verified 2026-08-15). Exempt targets that realpath into the resolved repo ROOT before applying the operatorClaude ban — realpath both sides so a symlinked HOME can't dodge the tripwire. Genuine escapes (a target under ~/.claude but outside the repo) still fail with the escape message. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen-skill-docs): quote YAML inline scalars containing '...' (Bun strict parser breaks on bare ellipsis) A bare ... inside a plain YAML scalar is a document-end marker that strict YAML parsers (Bun.YAML among them) reject mid-scalar. catalog-trim truncation appends '...' to any description whose lead exceeds 200 chars, so any truncated description would generate a SKILL.md with unparseable frontmatter. Add the ellipsis test to toYamlInlineScalar's needsQuote so such scalars are emitted double-quoted, plus unit coverage for the quoting rules. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen-skill-docs): throw when a template contains {{PREAMBLE}} twice Hardens the #2508/#2362 class: a second {{PREAMBLE}} occurrence — even a prose mention, which is exactly how spec/SKILL.md.tmpl re-expanded the full ~12K-token preamble mid-document — now fails generation with the template path instead of silently shipping a doubled preamble. Pure exported guard (assertSinglePreamble) called from resolvePlaceholders, unit-tested with the original prose-mention shape. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): classify catalog-trim.test.ts as tree-mutating Discovered while landing the duplicate-{{PREAMBLE}} guard: importing scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts executes its top-level body, which regenerates the entire claude host (71 GENERATED files) at import time. catalog-trim.test.ts does that import from a PARALLEL shard — the same read-during-regeneration hazard class as #2532, invisible only because the regen is byte-identical on a fresh tree. Move it to the serial tree-mutating window. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): prepush hook test builds PATH with a POSIX-only separator `test/redact-prepush-hook.test.ts` shadows `git` with a stub by prepending a temp dir to PATH, built as `${stubDir}:${process.env.PATH}`. On Windows the separator is `;`, so that produces one unparseable entry, the stub is never found, and the REAL git runs — the diff succeeds, `gitStrict` never throws, and the hook exits 0 where the test expects 1. It fails as a wrong assertion rather than as a portability problem, which is what made it hard to place. Replace it with a `prependPath` helper mirroring the one already in test/gstack-brain-context-load.test.ts, which handles both platform details: `path.delimiter`, and a case-insensitive lookup of the existing env key — Windows commonly spells it `Path`, and adding a second `PATH` alongside an inherited `Path` leaves the winner up to the spawn implementation. On POSIX the helper resolves to `{ PATH: binDir + ":" + process.env.PATH }`, byte-identical to the expression it replaces, so behaviour there is unchanged. Fixing the separator alone does not make the test pass on Windows, and it cannot: the premise is that a signal-killed child yields `spawnSync` status === null, and Windows has no equivalent (a force-killed process reports a non-zero exit code). The stub is also a `#!/bin/sh` file named `git`, which Windows will not execute, since process creation resolves through PATHEXT and ignores the shebang. A Windows variant would assert the non-zero-exit branch instead — a different branch than the test name claims — so the test is gated with test.skipIf(process.platform === "win32"), matching test/session-runner-timeout.test.ts and test/setup-emoji-font.test.ts. Windows before: 14 pass, 1 fail. After: 14 pass, 1 skip, 0 fail (3 consecutive runs). Unchanged on POSIX, where it should still run and pass — worth confirming in CI, since I can only verify the Windows half here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(artifacts): sync the decision store, which no allowlist glob matched gstack-decision-log enqueues projects/<slug>/decisions.jsonl after every write, but none of the 16 managed globs matched it, so compute_paths_to_stage rejected every one at its "must match at least one allowlist glob" check. The writer and the syncer disagreed silently: enabling artifacts sync backed up learnings, plans, designs and timelines -- everything except the durable decision ledger -- and nothing reported a miss, because a dropped path prints exactly what a synced one does when the queue is otherwise empty. Add the three decisions.* globs and class them artifact so they also sync in artifacts-only mode. The test reads the heredocs out of the script rather than executing it: gstack-artifacts-init.test.ts drives the real script through #!/bin/bash shims and a colon-separated PATH, so it cannot run on Windows -- the platform where the companion slug bug bit. * fix(windows): resolve the project slug natively when gstack-slug cannot spawn bin/gstack-slug is a `#!/usr/bin/env bash` script with no file extension. Windows honors neither the shebang nor PATHEXT for an explicit path, so spawnSync fails ENOENT and resolveSlug returned its literal fallback, "unknown". Every decision on the machine was therefore filed under ~/.gstack/projects/unknown/ -- one bucket shared by every project -- while the bash-side Context Recovery preamble resolved the real slug, found no decisions.active.json there, and skipped through a bare `if [ -f ... ]` with no else. Nothing failed. Both decision bins (log and search) missed identically, so writes and searches stayed consistent with each other, and the only component that resolved correctly was silent by design. Measured on one machine: 62 decisions accumulated over 10 days and 170 skill runs, surfaced zero times. shell:true is not the fix here, unlike #1731 -- cmd.exe cannot run a bash script either. Nor is re-spawning through `bash`: on Windows that frequently resolves to WSL, whose $HOME and /mnt/c paths yield a different slug AND a different cache directory, trading one split store for another. Instead, port gstack-slug's own three steps (cache -> git remote -> basename), keeping its alphabet and its MSYS-form cache key so both paths agree. The fallback is win32-gated, so POSIX behaviour is byte-identical. Tests exercise the fallback on every platform (only the gating is win32-specific), so POSIX CI catches a regression that would otherwise surface only on a Windows user's disk, plus a static gate pinning the platform check. * fix(security): guard brain-sync arithmetic against injected .brain-last-pull; sanitize _GBRAIN_HOST Re-derived from PR #2588 under the generated-file screening rule (resolver hunks taken; SKILL.md files regenerated, not accepted). A poisoned .brain-last-pull could reach bash arithmetic ($(( ))) — a code-execution vector from a writable state file; the timestamp is now validated numeric before use. _GBRAIN_HOST from ~/.claude.json is clamped to hostname-safe characters before echo. Ship goldens refreshed to the regenerated output. Co-authored-by: sneakygriff <89592870+sneakygriff@users.noreply.github.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sync): run gstack-brain-sync through bash, not cmd.exe, on Windows The brain-sync stage failed on EVERY Windows run with "is not recognized as an internal or external command", so /sync-gbrain always reported ERR brain-sync among otherwise green stages. #1731 gave these spawns shell: NEEDS_SHELL_ON_WINDOWS. That is correct for the gbrain.cmd shim and does nothing here: shell:true routes through cmd.exe, which resolves .cmd/.bat via PATHEXT but has no concept of a shebang, so an extension-less bash script is rejected outright. A .cmd shim needs a shell; a shebang script needs an interpreter. The two cases look identical and are not. The failure was quiet rather than loud. artifacts_sync_mode defaults to pushing curated artifacts to git, so a Windows user's learnings piled up uncommitted in ~/.gstack indefinitely while the sync report showed one red line out of four. New bashScriptInvocation() resolves Git for Windows' bash explicitly and passes the script as argv[0]. It prefers Git bash over a bare `bash` on PATH because WindowsApps ships a bash.exe that is the WSL launcher, which would read C:\... as a Linux path; GSTACK_BASH overrides for unusual installs; forward slashes because bash treats backslashes as escapes; and it returns null when no bash exists so the stage says so plainly instead of surfacing an unactionable spawn error. The #1731 tripwire asserted the shape that does not work, so it now asserts the opposite (never a raw spawnSync(brainSyncPath, ...)) and six unit tests cover the resolver. Verified on Windows: the stage now reports "OK brain-sync curated artifacts pushed (4.2s)" and the artifacts repo committed + pushed on its own. Affected-test set unchanged at 14 pre-existing failures before and after, with 6 new passing tests. * fix(gbrain): quote cmd.exe arguments at a single gbrain invocation seam Fixes #2471. With shell:true on Windows, node/bun join argv into one cmd.exe string without quoting, so a repo path with a space — the default C:\Users\First Last\ layout — split into two arguments and every gbrain call carrying a path silently targeted the wrong location (worst: `sources add --path`). All gbrain CLI invocations now build their (cmd, argv, shell) triple through gbrainInvocation(), which quotes risky arguments for cmd.exe's re-parse (embedded quotes doubled). The four direct spawn sites in lib/gbrain-sources.ts route through the seam; the #1731 static invariant is upgraded for seamed files (any direct "gbrain" opener is the violation) and kept as-is for lib/gbrain-local-status.ts. POSIX behavior unchanged (shell:false, passthrough argv). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(brain-sync): classify queue entries, rewrite surgically, re-push stranded commits Fixes #2549 (P0 data loss). Every drain exit previously truncated the WHOLE queue (six `: > "$QUEUE"` sites), which (a) destroyed privacy/mode-held entries while misattributing them as "no allowlisted changes", (b) destroyed entries enqueued concurrently during the drain, and (c) left push-failed commits stranded locally with nothing ever re-pushing them until unrelated new work arrived. Now: compute_paths_to_stage classifies every entry (stageable / retained privacy-held / dropped skipped-invalid-unmatched-missing); rewrite_queue re-reads the LIVE queue at mv time and removes only this drain's processed paths (retained + concurrent appends + unparseable lines survive; atomic tmp+mv); an unpushed-commit detector at run start re-pushes stranded local commits (receipted fail-closed; a receipt refusal skips the retry rather than wedging the drain; guards missing origin/<branch>; runs inside the existing lock). Status lines carry counts; full drop paths go to a 0600 sidecar (.brain-sync-drops.json) so filenames stay out of transcripts. --drop-queue remains the one intentional truncation. Matrix added: privacy retention, unmatched/missing counted drops + sidecar mode, unparseable-line preservation, surgical same-drain retention, push-fail commit retention + detector re-delivery on an EMPTY queue, receipt-refusal skip. 35/35 in test/brain-sync.test.ts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gbrain): make --full do a full code walk, not a delta one `runCodeImport()` walked with a bare `gbrain sync --strategy code --source X`. The strategy is right, but that walk is incremental: it only revisits files changed since the source's checkpoint. A file missed at the ORIGINAL import is therefore never revisited and stays out of the index indefinitely. The reindex-code pass below cannot rescue it. It re-chunks pages that already exist and never walks the filesystem — the same property the comment directly above already relies on when explaining why the walk has to run first. That fix landed one flag short: it made a fresh source get pages at all, but left `--full` unable to discover a file the first walk skipped. Net effect: `/sync-gbrain --full` did not perform a full walk, and re-running it never re-detected the gap. The failure is silent, which is what makes it expensive. Nothing errors, nothing warns, and the verdict block still reports OK while `gbrain search` and `gbrain code-def` answer out of a partial index. It reads as "gbrain is weak at code questions" rather than "the index is incomplete". Measured on two local code sources before and after this change, counting exported functions resolvable via `gbrain code-def`: one went from 61/201 (30%) to 180/201 (89%), importing 79 files that had no page at all; the other had whole source files missing entirely and reached 93%. Both had been serving search from a partial index for weeks. Scoped to `--full` so incremental runs stay fast. `--yes` because this spawns non-interactively and a full walk otherwise prompts to confirm import cost. Anyone can check their own brain without applying this: gbrain sync --source <id> --strategy code --full --dry-run and compare "N file(s) would be imported" against that source's page_count. Worth knowing while doing so: the default strategy is markdown and --strategy is per-invocation, never persisted on the source, so dropping the flag reports strategy=markdown and a handful of files. * fix(brain-cache): honest 'missing' instead of fabricated-empty digests on gbrain failure A gbrain-unreachable failure in fetchRecentDecisions and fetchSalience used to be converted into a cached 'successful' empty digest ("_No prior skill runs recorded._" / "_No salient pages in last 14d._") that refreshEntity stamped with last_refresh. The false negative then survived every subsequent TTL cycle, indistinguishable from a genuine zero-rows result. Now failure returns null, so cmdGet's existing missing/stale-fallback machinery reports the true state — matching what fetchGoals and fetchSimplePage already do on failure. Also adds an Array.isArray guard in fetchRecentDecisions so a malformed payload ({pages: {}} etc.) classifies as failure instead of crashing refreshEntity mid-refresh; a genuinely empty pages array still renders the honest empty digest. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): give the schema-mismatch rebuild test a load-proof budget The rebuild path refreshes every per-project entity against the real gbrain CLI; with an unreachable brain each spawn runs to its own timeout, and under machine load the stack exceeds bun's 5s default (observed 5.2-5.4s, identically on pre-#2587 binaries — a load flake, not a regression). 30s budget matches the sibling brain-sync suite's convention. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory-ingest): parse the current Codex response_item rollout shape Fixes #2105. Codex rollout JSONL moved to { type: 'response_item', payload: { type: 'message', role, content: [...] } }; the parser's legacy payload.message branch never fired on it, so every Codex session imported as an empty shell (message_count: 0 — 243/243 sessions on the reporting machine). Both shapes now parse; non-message response_items (reasoning etc.) are ignored. parseTranscriptJsonl exported for direct unit tests (CLI path unchanged — import.meta.main guard). Note: #2104's staging-in-gitignored-tree half is already defended on main (--include-gitignored + GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, #2144, plus the #2486 reconcile guard) — verified, no change needed; it moves to the close-only roster. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): refresh codex/factory ship goldens from post-#2588 regeneration The #2588 absorb refreshed all three ship goldens, but `bun run gen:skill-docs` regenerates the CLAUDE host only — the codex/factory goldens were copied from artifacts rendered before the resolver change and failed against a fresh external-host regen in the serial test phase. Re-rendered with --host codex / --host factory and re-copied. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(make-pdf): boolean flags no longer swallow the next positional argument Fixes #2514. The parser treated any non-flag token after a flag as its value, so `$P generate --toc essay.md` ate essay.md as --toc's value and failed with "missing input" — the skill's own documented usage only worked when two boolean flags happened to be adjacent. BOOLEAN_FLAGS enumerates the no-value flags; value flags (--watermark, --to, --title, ...) are unchanged. main() now runs behind import.meta.main so tests import the parser directly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(repo-mode): probe GNU stat before BSD so Git Bash stops crashing Fixes #2195. On GNU coreutils `stat -f` SUCCEEDS (filesystem status, not a format string), so the BSD-first fallback chain never fell over — it fed multi-word filesystem output into the cache-age arithmetic and crashed under set -u on Windows Git Bash. GNU `stat -c` fails cleanly on BSD/macOS, making GNU-first deterministic on both; the mtime is numeric-validated before arithmetic as a last line of defense. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(retro): point the prior-retros context query at files /retro actually writes Fixes #2552's live half. The gbrain context-query glob targeted ~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/retros/*.md — a directory and extension nothing writes — so prior-retro recall was dead on every brain-aware run. /retro saves to .context/retros/*.json (repo-local); the query now reads that. The issue's second defect (quoted-tilde orphan sweep) is already fixed on main — the preamble sweeps with "$HOME/..." — verified, no change needed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sync-gbrain): remove the capability-check page file left in the user's repo Fixes #2503. On worktree-pinned brains `gbrain put` materializes the checked page as _capability_check_<pid>.md in the current directory (the user's repo), and `gbrain delete` removes the page but not the file — every /sync-gbrain run left a stray file in the repo root. The check now deletes the materialized file explicitly after the page delete. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(browse): warn that hover scrolls and the daemon tab persists across sessions Fixes #2445. Both behaviors are by design but produced confidently wrong verification output: hovering a below-the-fold element scrolls the page before a "rest state" screenshot (exit 0, wrong section), and the daemon's tab survives sessions so a bare `reload` can act on whatever earlier work left open. The screenshot-evidence section now names both traps with the concrete guards (assert window.scrollY; always goto before verifying). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gitattributes): pin *.txt to LF .gitattributes pins LF for every other text format in the repo (*.md, *.tmpl, *.yml, *.yaml, *.json, *.toml, *.sh, *.ts, extensionless scripts, even the hash-pinned diagram-render dist files). *.txt is the one text format left unpinned. On Windows with core.autocrlf=true, that means the two tracked .txt files are rewritten to CRLF at checkout and then read as permanently modified: gstack/llms.txt +174 bytes make-pdf/test/fixtures/combined-gate.expected.txt +20 bytes git status is never clean, and /gstack-upgrade's 'git stash' step saves a phantom stash on every upgrade — one that pops back to an empty diff. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): install every skill runtime asset for the Claude host On a fresh Claude install, link_claude_skill_dirs installed only SKILL.md (+ sections/) per skill. Every skill that reads a sibling runtime file at .claude/skills/<name>/<file> was broken out of the box: /review stopped at 'Read .claude/skills/review/checklist.md' (file never installed), and qa's templates/references, plan-devex-review's dx-hall-of-fame.md, gstack-upgrade's migrations/, and careful/freeze's bin/ hooks were all silently missing. Codex/Factory/OpenCode/Kiro installers already copied these; the primary host never did. Fix: a shared _link_skill_runtime_assets helper installs EVERYTHING a skill ships next to its SKILL.md, with an explicit exclusion list (F7): node_modules, dist, test, *.tmpl, hidden files. Exclusion-list polarity means a newly added asset installs by default instead of being silently dropped. Assets refresh unconditionally on re-run (rm + relink/copy), so Windows real-dir copies pick up changes after git pull. New free test runs the real installer functions against the live repo into a temp skills dir with a TWO-CLASS referenced-paths assertion (ENG-OV7): alias-relative refs (.claude/skills/<name>/<path>) must exist under the install; repo-anchored refs (~/.claude/skills/gstack/<path>) must exist in the tree modulo an explicit built-artifact allowlist (browse/design/ make-pdf dist + the compiled gstack-global-discover). Known-broken class-2 refs (#2250 bare bin names) are ratcheted: the test fails if they quietly start existing without the entry being removed. Fixes #2317 Fixes #2454 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): alias skills install as rewritten copies, never symlinks The two back-compat alias dirs — _gstack-command (root router) and connect-chrome (→ open-gstack-browser) — symlinked the canonical SKILL.md verbatim, so each alias re-served the canonical frontmatter name:. Claude Code keys skills on that name and requires global uniqueness: the connect-chrome duplicate silently shadowed /open-gstack-browser (whichever readdir returned first won), and the _gstack-command duplicate could drop the ENTIRE personal-skills set — every /gstack command vanished until the user hand-deleted the alias dirs, and the next setup re-broke it. Fix: copy-then-rewrite. A shared _install_alias_skill_md helper reads the SOURCE SKILL.md and writes a fresh copy with name: rewritten to the alias dir's own name (_gstack-command / connect-chrome / gstack-connect-chrome). sed never edits in place: on Unix the old install was a symlink into the repo, and an in-place rewrite through it would have corrupted the generated source (eng review E2). bin/gstack-relink gets the same treatment for its root-alias helper, and its discovery loop now skips symlinked source dirs so the connect-chrome repo symlink can't re-mint the duplicate. Tests assert: installed aliases are NOT symlinks, carry their own unique names, all installed frontmatter names are globally unique, re-runs refresh cleanly, legacy symlinked aliases are replaced not written through, and the source files stay byte-intact. Fixes #2511 Fixes #2201 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): Windows re-runs refresh installed skills for codex/factory/opencode hosts On Windows (Git Bash / MSYS2, no Developer Mode), _link_or_copy installs REAL directory copies. The install guards in link_codex_skill_dirs, link_factory_skill_dirs, link_opencode_skill_dirs, and create_agents_sidecar only ran the copy when the target was a symlink or missing — true on the first install, never again. Every subsequent ./setup after a git pull reported 'gstack ready (codex).' and exited 0 while silently refreshing nothing: users ran stale SKILL.md forever. (link_claude_skill_dirs already handled this; the other hosts never got the treatment.) Fix: all five guard sites bypass the symlink-or-missing check when IS_WINDOWS=1 — _link_or_copy rm -rf's the destination first, so the real-dir copy refreshes in place. Unix behavior is unchanged (symlinks still pass the guard via -L and serve updates without re-copying). The new bash-fixture test drives the REAL extracted functions through the install → upstream change → re-run cycle under IS_WINDOWS=1 (v1 must become v2), pins the sidecar-skip behavior, checks the Unix path stayed a symlink, and statically asserts the bypass at all five sites so factory/opencode can't regress. Registered in the Windows-safe curated list (KNOWN_WINDOWS_SAFE) so it actually runs on the windows-latest CI lane — the 'bin/' pattern hit is a fixture path segment, not a shebang spawn. Fixes #2444 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(uninstall): remove real-directory skill installs, gated on provenance On Windows, setup installs skills as REAL directory copies (cp -R via _link_or_copy). gstack-uninstall's per-skill loop filtered on [ -L ], so every copy was skipped: --force exited 0 and printed 'gstack uninstalled.' while leaving ~52 gstack-* directories plus _gstack-command/ behind in ~/.claude/skills. The same filter also missed the standard Unix shape (real dir + symlinked SKILL.md), which was left as a dangling-symlink husk. Fix: the loop now handles all three install shapes. Symlink entries keep the existing readlink check. Real dirs with a SYMLINKED SKILL.md are removed when the link points into gstack (same semantics as setup's cleanup helpers). Real dirs with a REAL-FILE SKILL.md — the Windows copy shape — are removed ONLY when both provenance gates pass (F8): (a) the directory name is in gstack's skill inventory (source dir names, frontmatter names, gstack- prefixed variants, and the alias dirs), and (b) the SKILL.md carries the existing generated banner '<!-- AUTO-GENERATED from' (ENG-OV10: every pre-v1.67 copy already carries it; a NEW marker would refuse to delete legitimate old installs, recreating the bug). Anything failing a gate is listed to stderr and never deleted — a user's own skill that happens to share a name with a gstack skill survives. Tests: a fake-tree fixture covers removed/kept/listed for every shape (including the F8 name-collision row), and a census test asserts every installable skill's generated SKILL.md carries the banner so the gate can't strand a bannerless skill. Registered in the Windows-safe curated list — the copy shape is exactly what windows-latest exercises. Fixes #2563 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(setup): wire --host cursor through the full install path './setup --host cursor' was accepted by the flag parser and then did nothing: no INSTALL_CURSOR branch existed, so the script built binaries, printed no 'ready' line, and installed zero skills — Cursor users had no way to install gstack at all. Full install slice, re-derived from PR #2547 by @szsunyuan onto the current installers: generate .cursor/ skill docs (host config already existed), create a minimal ~/.cursor/skills/gstack runtime root (root SKILL.md + bin/lib/browse assets + review checklist pair + ETHOS.md + supabase config — bin and lib travel together because bin scripts import ../lib), link the generated gstack-* skills, and plant the repo-local .cursor/skills/gstack sidecar WITHOUT ever wiping the generated SKILL.md files it shares a directory with (link-before-sidecar ordering keeps the generation fallback alive). Auto mode detects Cursor via the cursor binary or the ~/.cursor footprint. gstack-uninstall removes ~/.cursor/skills/gstack* and per-project .cursor/skills/gstack* — and never rmdir's .cursor itself, where Cursor stores user rules. Re-derivation deltas from the PR: the link guards carry the #2444 IS_WINDOWS bypass (re-runs refresh real-dir copies), lib/ and supabase/config.sh ride along like every other runtime root, and the hosts/cursor.ts sidecar field is omitted (HostConfig no longer carries one — sidecar behavior lives in setup).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): render the gbrain :user variant to an out-dir — global installs stay git-clean On a global-git install with gbrain, ./setup and 'gstack-config gbrain-refresh' ran gen:skill-docs:user IN PLACE inside the install checkout, rewriting ~16 TRACKED SKILL.md files. The checkout stayed permanently dirty, every /gstack-upgrade 'git stash' saved a redundant snapshot of generated content, and the growing stash list invited a 'git stash pop' that would lay stale instruction markdown from an older gstack over the current version — a quiet wrong-rules failure mode. Fix, wired through machinery that already existed (gen-skill-docs --out-dir + the symlink install layer): brain-aware SKILL.md now renders into the untracked ~/.gstack/render/claude, and both Claude installers serve the render when present — setup's link_claude_skill_dirs prefers $GSTACK_HOME/render/claude/<skill>/SKILL.md, and bin/gstack-relink does the same so a later config change can't silently flip skills back to the blockless canonical source. setup wipes and rebuilds the render each run, repoints installed skills after a successful render, and removes a stale render (re-linking canonical) when gbrain is gone. gbrain-refresh renders to the out-dir and repoints via relink; its 'this dirties the install's git tree' caveat is retired because it no longer does. A one-time upgrade migration (gstack-upgrade/migrations/v1.67.0.0.sh, F12) restores the legacy dirt: unstaged modifications to SKILL.md / sections/ *.md files in the install checkout are git-checkout'd back to canonical; anything outside that footprint (user edits, untracked files, staged work) is left alone and reported. Idempotent, non-fatal, symlinked installs skipped. Tests: render-preference behavior for both installers, static pins that every executable :user invocation carries --out-dir and the caveat text is gone, migration fixture (restore/leave/idempotent/no-op matrix), and the existing out-dir render test now asserts 'git status --porcelain' gains zero new entries across a full :user render. Fixes #2569 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(redact): close the remaining #1946 fail-opens — detection coverage + one-time consent Two of #1946's reported gaps were still open after the v1.64 fail-closed work (the git-error and oversized-diff paths in bin/gstack-redact-prepush are already strict, chunked, and pinned by tests): 1. Detection fail-open: env.kv required an UPPERCASE name with an '=' assignment, so 'api_key=…', 'apiKey: "…"', and 'password: …' — the most common real config shapes — produced NO finding at all. The pattern is now case-insensitive, accepts ':' (YAML/JSON) as well as '=' assignment, and handles quoted JSON keys. It stays MEDIUM and entropy-gated per the calibration rule (a generic net that cries wolf gets bypassed), with pinned cases for each closed shape plus the placeholder/entropy negatives. 2. Install fail-open: nothing ever offered the guard, so a plain 'git push' scanned nothing and users believing themselves protected weren't. setup now asks ONCE for consent on a real interactive terminal (maintainer decision 6): an explicit answer is recorded to the existing redact_prepush_hook key and never re-asked; a timeout or non-interactive run changes nothing and keeps the hint-only posture. Default stays FALSE, and setup still never installs the hook itself — /ship owns the per-repo install (the wrong-repo invariant is pinned by the existing 'setup carries the hint only' test). Tests: per-shape pattern cases, prompt gating statics (key-absence + TTY + timed default-N read), timeout-persists-nothing, non-interactive stays hint-only with no key write, and recorded-answer-is-silent behavior runs. Contributes to #1946 (the pre-push guard's fail-closed scan paths landed in earlier releases; this closes the coverage and consent gaps it names). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(hooks): Stop hook closes dangling timeline entries — fail-open The preamble writes event:'started' to the project timeline at every skill start, but the matching 'completed' write lives in prose at the END of the skill workflow — unenforceable. An interrupted session, a context blowout, or an agent that simply stops leaked started > completed forever, and the leak was unrepairable after the fact (observed live in #2553). New hosts/claude/hooks/timeline-stop-hook (+ .ts, question-log-hook shim pattern): on Claude Code's Stop event it appends event:'completed' with outcome 'unknown' and source 'stop-hook' for every 'started' entry in the project timeline that has no matching completion. setup registers it via gstack-settings-hook add-event (Stop was already an accepted event) under its own source tag, idempotently; --no-team and gstack-uninstall remove it. FAIL-OPEN contract (F5), pinned by tests: ALWAYS exits 0 — corrupt timeline (bad lines skipped individually, valid ones still repaired), missing timeline, garbage/empty stdin, bun missing from PATH (the shim '|| true's), and an over-cap timeline (10MB skip) all repair nothing and block nothing; errors land in ~/.gstack/hook-errors.log best-effort. The write path is append-only with a ~2s internal budget, and a second Stop is a no-op (already-closed entries never re-close). Correlation is project-scoped by design — the preamble's session id is shell-local, so a concurrent same-project session's entry may close early as a traceable source:'stop-hook' row rather than a silent leak; the header documents the trade-off. Fixes #2553 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * ios-qa: guard DebugBridgeTouch.m on DEBUG, not just TARGET_OS_IOS DebugBridgeTouch.m and its header both promise the code is DEBUG-only and never shipped: "Uses these private UIKit selectors (DEBUG-only; never shipped to App Store)" "DEBUG-only — never link in Release." Nothing enforced it. The only guard was `#if TARGET_OS_IOS`, so a Release build for iOS compiled the entire implementation in, private API and all. Measured on a real app (an iOS Release build, `nm -j` on the app binary): DebugBridge symbols 15 IOHIDEventCreateDigitizer 2 AXSSetAutomationEnabled 1 symbol, 2 strings IOKit.framework 4 strings including +[DebugBridgeTouch sendTapAtPoint:inWindow:] and _OBJC_CLASS_$_DebugBridgeTouch. That is a Guideline 2.5.1 private-API exposure in a shippable binary, and it fails Package.swift's own stated CI invariant: nm -j build/Release/<binary> | grep -q DebugBridge && exit 1 WHY THE EXISTING GUARD DOES NOT COVER THIS Package.swift documents the protection as `.when(configuration: .debug)` on the consuming target's dependency. That works for SwiftPM consumers. It cannot be expressed by an app that integrates DebugBridge as a local package inside an .xcodeproj: Xcode's Filters column under Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content offers platform conditions only — iOS, macOS, visionOS — never build configuration. So for xcodeproj consumers the documented guard silently does nothing, which is precisely the case that was measured. The Swift targets were already safe: all four .swift files are `#if DEBUG` guarded and Package.swift defines DEBUG for them via swiftSettings. Only the Objective-C target, the one that actually links private API, was unguarded. THE FIX 1. DebugBridgeTouch.m.template now branches `#if !defined(DEBUG)` first and emits nothing at all in Release, falling through to the existing iOS and non-iOS branches only in Debug. 2. Package.swift.template declares DEBUG explicitly for the ObjC target: cSettings: [.define("DEBUG", .when(configuration: .debug))] The two Swift targets already did this. Relying on SwiftPM's implicit DEBUG for C-family targets is not worth betting a private-API exposure on. VERIFIED, by compiling the generated file for iOS both ways: xcrun -sdk iphoneos clang -c DebugBridgeTouch.m -arch arm64 ... Release (no -DDEBUG) 0 DebugBridge symbols, 0 private-API symbols, 448 B Debug (-DDEBUG=1) 7 DebugBridge symbols, 6 private-API symbols, 13104 B The harness is unchanged in Debug. Release now emits an empty translation unit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ios-qa): bridges search front-most presented content first A presented sheet sits AFTER the screen it covers in window.subviews, so the elements walk emitted the covered screen first — a client taking the first match for a label activated a control the user cannot reach, and the agent saw a success (measured on a real app: the sheet's 'Create' button ranked 210th behind 35+ covered-screen entries). Menus, alerts and action sheets were worse: each gets its OWN UIWindow, so keying off isKeyWindow missed them entirely — absent from /elements, dropped from /screenshot, untappable via /tap. Re-derived from PR #2397 by @IDSTUK onto the current bridge templates (the SwiftUI tap-reliability rework had moved underneath the PR): ScreenshotBridgeImpl gains orderedWindows(in:) (visible windows front-most first by windowLevel then insertion order, PassThroughWindow overlays still filtered), frontmostWindow(), and searchRoots() (per window, the top-most presented view controller's view before the window itself). /elements walks those roots in order through the existing shared visited-set + budget, so overlapping roots emit each view once at its front-most position; /tap targets frontmostWindow() for both the accessibility-activation and synthesized-touch paths; /type and /swipe search the roots in order; /screenshot composites every window back-to-front at the existing 1x scale. The two now-dead private activeScene/activeKeyWindow copies in ElementsBridgeImpl and MutationBridgeImpl are removed. Fixture mirror synced byte-for-byte; verified with a full 'xcodebuild build -scheme FixtureApp-Package -destination generic/platform=iOS Simulator' (BUILD SUCCEEDED, DEBUG guard from the previous commit included).

Neither exists — only the .ts files ship (mode 644, no bin alias) — so the agent dutifully reported 'script missing at install root' and the ingest/full- sync steps dead-ended on every host (hit live under Codex; the Claude render carries the same text). All four template sites (probe, silent-bulk, post-answer full sync, the preamble-hook incremental mention) and the four memory.md reference-doc sites now use the repo's established form: 'bun run <path>/gstack-memory- ingest.ts …' / 'bun run <path>/gstack-gbrain-sync.ts …' — matching what sync-gbrain already does. Generated SKILL.md regenerated from the template in the same commit. Re-derived from PR #2409 by @SomSamantray per the wave's screening rule (the PR edited the generated SKILL.md directly; the generated file must come from gen:skill-docs). The contributor's structural test rides along as-is: bare-invocation regexes with negative .ts lookahead and backslash- continuation coverage pin every site, so the drift can't return. The referenced-paths ratchet in test/setup-claude-skill-assets.test.ts drops its two #2250 known-broken entries — the class-2 assertion now guards these paths again. Verified against #2250's site list (template lines 690/735/784-area, all covered) plus a fresh grep: zero bare invocations remain in the template or memory.md; the one prose mention ('gstack-memory-ingest now persists…') is not an invocation and stays.

Fourth: the uninstall neutral-target test asserted against os.tmpdir(), which reads $TMPDIR at call time — a shard neighbor can leave it gstack-containing, making the "neutral" symlink target match the provenance substring; the test now falls back to a fixed neutral root and asserts neutrality explicitly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: whitelist engine-locked at all three gbrain-usable gates (#2456) #2194 taught the classifier to report a PGLite lock held by a live \`gbrain serve\` as engine-locked instead of broken-config, but none of the three "is gbrain usable?" gates accepted the new status — so the symptom moved from a wrong error to a quieter wrong suppression: gbrain-refresh stripped GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD / GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS blocks out of every generated SKILL.md after every upgrade, on the RECOMMENDED /setup-gbrain default (PGLite + local-stdio MCP spawns gbrain serve at session start). engine-locked is the same class as timeout (#1964): the engine is installed and healthy, a legitimate holder has the lock. All three gates now agree: - bin/gstack-gbrain-detect --is-ok exits 0 on engine-locked - bin/gstack-config gbrain-refresh case arm renders instead of suppressing - scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts --respect-detection treats it as detected Test mirrors the existing timeout case in test/gbrain-detection-override.test.ts (engine-locked renders brain blocks; the sibling no-cli case still proves suppression works). Applies the reporter's patch + test from the issue.

Bearer-token installs (gbrain connect <url> --token, gbrain's own recommended default for local/personal use) never touch config.json, so they fell through to the local probe, failed against the dead-or-absent local engine, and landed on missing-config / broken-db / broken-config / engine-locked — silently suppressing brain blocks for a fully-working remote brain. New evidence source: hasRemoteOnlyGbrainMcp() reads ~/.claude.json MCP registrations (user scope AND project scope) with the same classification rules as gstack-gbrain-detect's tier-3 fallback. File-read only — no subprocess, no network (a classifier network probe is the #1964 pathology). Wired at two sites in freshClassify: - missing-config branch: a bearer thin client may never have run a local init; if the host's only gbrain registration is remote-HTTP, that registration IS the brain → thin-client. - post-probe-failure demotion: broken-db / broken-config / engine-locked reclassify to thin-client when the only gbrain registration is remote. A local-stdio sibling registration blocks the demotion (federation guard: a user running a local engine plus a remote team brain keeps precise local statuses). "timeout" is excluded — already usable, and may be a genuinely healthy slow local engine. 7 new unit tests in test/gbrain-local-status.test.ts: user-scope, project- scope, engine-locked/broken-db demotion, federation guard, no-registration discriminator, end-to-end --is-ok gate (35 pass total in the file).

Fixes #2520 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: resolve GBRAIN_HOME with gbrain's parent-dir semantics (#2521) gstack treated GBRAIN_HOME as the config directory; gbrain's configDir() treats it as the PARENT and always appends `.gbrain` itself (the contract is explicit in gbrain's source: GBRAIN_HOME=/tmp/x → /tmp/x/.gbrain/ config.json). With GBRAIN_HOME set, gstack classified engine status from a file gbrain never reads — the probe's two halves (file checks vs the spawned `gbrain sources list`) looked at DIFFERENT installs, so any resulting status was arbitrary: missing-config/broken-config against healthy installs, or a thin-client marker gstack saw that gbrain itself reported as "No brain configured". New shared resolver `gbrainConfigDir()` in lib/gbrain-exec.ts is the single source of truth. All seven gstack sites route through the contract: - lib/gbrain-local-status.ts gbrainConfigPath (the classifier's file half) - bin/gstack-gbrain-detect GBRAIN_CONFIG + readRemoteMcpUrl - lib/gbrain-exec.ts buildGbrainEnv (the probe's DATABASE_URL seed — fixing only the classifier would have left the split-brain in the spawn half, flagged by the reporter) - lib/gbrain-guards.ts gbrainHome (clones-dir + autopilot-lock paths) - lib/gstack-memory-helpers.ts gbrainConfigPath (engine-tier fallback) - bin/gstack-gbrain-install pre-doctor config check (shell) Unit tests cover GBRAIN_HOME set (config found at $GBRAIN_HOME/.gbrain), the old flat layout explicitly NOT read (both classifier and buildGbrainEnv), and unset (~/.gbrain unchanged). Existing fixtures that encoded the deviant flat layout are updated to gbrain's contract. Root-cause analysis by @d-danielsun in #2521. Deviation from the 3-site plan spec: the same deviant resolution existed in four more sites (buildGbrainEnv, gbrain-guards, memory-helpers, gbrain-install); fixing only three would have left gstack disagreeing with itself as well as with gbrain, so the whole class moved to the shared resolver in one change. Fixes #2521 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: read project-scoped MCP registrations in gbrain detection (#2499) Claude Code registers MCP servers at two scopes in ~/.claude.json: user scope (.mcpServers) and project scope (.projects["/abs/path"].mcpServers — what `claude mcp add` WITHOUT --scope user writes). Every gbrain detection site read only user scope, so a correctly configured project-scoped brain was invisible: brain-aware blocks suppressed, remote-mode artifacts sync never recognised, and detectEndpointHash fell through to the 'local' literal — two different project-scoped brains hashed identically, so switching between them never invalidated the cache, the exact scenario the function's docstring says it exists to catch. Nothing errored; the features just quietly were not there. Two sites fixed: - scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-brain-sync-block.ts: the shared detection block (rendered into every tier-2+ SKILL.md) now resolves the gbrain entry ONCE into _GBRAIN_MCP_ENTRY — user scope first, then the nearest-ancestor project entry for $PWD that actually carries a gbrain server (longest matching key with a path-boundary check: /a/repo never matches /a/repo2; a nested project WITHOUT gbrain doesn't shadow its parent's registration). _GBRAIN_MCP_TYPE and _GBRAIN_HOST extract from the resolved entry, so claude.json is parsed once per skill start. All SKILL.md files regenerated in this commit; the ship golden fixtures and three carve-guard skeleton caps (plan-eng-review, plan-devex-review, office-hours; ~1.5KB rendered growth per skill) are refreshed with measured values. - bin/gstack-brain-cache detectEndpointHash: same resolution order in TS (user scope, else nearest-ancestor project entry by cwd, both path separators for Windows keys). Tests: rendered-output tests in test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts pin the regenerated block (static markers + a FUNCTIONAL run of the exact rendered lines against a fixture ~/.claude.json with only a project-scoped registration, plus an outside-cwd discriminator); detectEndpointHash unit tests in test/brain-cache-roundtrip.test.ts cover project-scope resolve, path-boundary, nearest-ancestor distinct hashes, and user-scope precedence.

Now a local pin is reused when it passes the fail-closed identity checks: the ID is syntactically valid, the source is registered, and the registered path realpath-resolves to the current checkout (so a stale or copied dotfile can't redirect a sync into another repo's source). A confirmed pin is treated as user-managed — synced and attached without add/remove, legacy migration, or federation changes. Dry-run stays spawn-free (reads only the local marker for previews).

A --version-path / .gstack/version-path target that is a package.json was read as raw text: the whitespace strip turned the JSON into '{"name":"frontend",... which parseVersion rejected, so every read — local, `git show`, and rival PRs' claims through the GitHub/GitLab Contents APIs — fell back to 0.0.0.0 and competing claims were dropped as "malformed". 2. parseVersion required exactly four components, so gstack-next-version exited 2 on EVERY invocation in a 3-digit repo. That CLI IS the queue-collision check; /ship then took its documented offline path of naive local arithmetic, two branches cut from the same base picked the same version, and git merged the duplicate without a conflict. New lib/version-source.ts holds the shared semantics so both CLIs agree by construction: parseVersion accepts 3- or 4-digit (3 pads the micro slot for uniform comparison), versionWidth/fmtVersion keep a 3-digit repo 3-digit through bumping and formatting, micro coerces to patch on 3-digit repos (with a warning in the output), and extractVersion reads a .json version-path as JSON (.version) from any byte source. gstack-version-bump treats a package.json version-path as that repo's single source of truth (written in place, DRIFT_* states can't arise — no second file to drift from). Detection is by shape, not new configuration. Scope per the wave plan's version-tooling end-state spec (decision 11, ENG-OV1): this is the READING capability + 3-digit acceptance ONLY. gstack's own VERSION file stays the 4-digit source of truth; nothing here flips authority to package.json. The PR's bundled fix for the .gstack/version-path pin being ignored by classify's base read lands separately (#2462) — these tests drive the JSON version-path through the explicit --version-path flag.

Per the wave plan's version-tooling end-state spec (decision 11): synced ONLY when the file already exists, never created (gstack itself is bun-only). A failed manifest/lockfile write keeps the existing exit-3 half-write semantics so classify reports DRIFT_STALE_PKG on re-run instead of hiding the drift. Tests: 5 new cases in test/gstack-version-bump.test.ts — both lockfile version fields synced with deps untouched, repair heals a stale lockfile, lockfileVersion 1 (no packages map) doesn't crash, npm-shrinkwrap.json synced without inventing a package-lock.json, malformed lockfile exits 3 loudly (26 pass total in the file).

Subdirectory manifests. A repo whose only Node package lives in web/, app/, or frontend/ has no ROOT package.json, so join(cwd, "package.json") reported pkgExists:false and every bump silently wrote VERSION alone — leaving the manifest to be bumped by hand, which is exactly the drift this tool exists to prevent, in the one layout where it silently did nothing. All three subcommands now resolve the manifest as --package-json-path → .gstack/package-json-path → ./package.json (mirroring resolveVersionPath). 2. npm-valid mirror. VERSION is 4-digit MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.MICRO; npm's semver is 3-component and rejects a fourth, so mirroring the raw form breaks `npm ci` in any repo npm actually manages. The manifest and its lockfiles now carry the npm-valid 3-digit translation (1.67.0.0 → 1.67.0) via npmVersion() in lib/version-source.ts. VERSION stays the 4-digit source of truth. classify judges drift against the TRANSLATED form — a correctly-synced `0.1.25` no longer reads as eternal drift against `0.1.25.0` — and grandfathers the pre-v1.67 1:1 four-digit mirror as in-sync (flagging it DRIFT_UNEXPECTED would hard-stop /ship on every existing repo on upgrade day; the next write migrates the manifest to the translated form). Lockfiles are synced beside the resolved manifest — including beside a pinned JSON version-path — and only when they already exist. classify output gains pkgPath and expectedPkgVersion for observability; write/repair report packageJsonPath + packageJsonVersion. The /ship Step 12 prose (ship/SKILL.md.tmpl) documents the resolution chain and the translation; SKILL.md files regenerated and ship golden fixtures refreshed in this commit. Tests: subdirectory pin + --package-json-path override, translated-form classify (FRESH/ALREADY_BUMPED, no false drift), grandfathered 1:1 mirror, genuine divergence still drifts, repair to the npm-valid form (33 pass in test/gstack-version-bump.test.ts; 526 pass across the five affected files including goldens and parity). Re-derived from PR #2531 by @CarringtonCreative on top of the 3-digit/ JSON version-source work, under decision 11 (which resolves the PR's lockfile-gated translation in favor of an unconditional npm-valid mirror).

Local arithmetic cannot see a sibling's claim, so the fallback allocated a version another open PR already held — observed in a downstream repo where two merged PRs both read v0.1.57.0 (and an audit found four such duplicate pairs over three weeks). New fetchGitClaimed() degrades the QUEUE VIEW without degrading the ALLOCATION: git already knows what the API was asked for. It reads every remote-tracking branch's pinned version file (through extractVersion, so JSON version-paths resolve on remote refs too and each branch's own digit width is preserved) plus the versions already shipped in the base's last 400 commit subjects (3- or 4-digit; the cap announces itself in warnings when it truncates). The fallback runs only when the host told us nothing — the online path is untouched — and the output gains a load-bearing `fallback: "git" | null` field that /ship can branch on, plus explicit warnings for both the recovered-from-git and the nothing-found cases. Tests: end-to-end stub-gh offline contract (fallback:'git' + a valid version + the warning), sibling-claim discovery from remote-tracking refs, the pick advancing past the sibling's claim, shipped-subject scanning, JSON version-path claims on remote refs, and non-repo degradation to a warning (45 pass in test/gstack-next-version.test.ts). Re-derived from PR #2545 by @CarringtonCreative under the wave plan's version-tooling end-state spec; the PR's own VERSION/CHANGELOG stamping is stripped (release stamping happens at /ship time, not per commit). Co-authored-by: Carrington Dennis <carrdenn3@gmail.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: version-bump honors the .gstack/version-path pin in versionRel (#2462) cmdClassify's current-version read already resolved the .gstack/version-path pin, but versionRel — the repo-relative path fed to `git show origin/<base>:<path>` — was derived from the CLI flag alone (`argVal(args, "--version-path") ?? "VERSION"`). In a pinned repo with no explicit flag, base and current therefore read DIFFERENT files: current from the pinned file, base from the root VERSION. On a repo with no root VERSION, the base always read 0.0.0.0 — and the pinned-JSON handling never engaged, so a pinned package.json was read as raw text (currentVersion 0.0.0.0) and `write` would have overwritten the manifest with a bare version string. New resolveVersionRel() resolves the pin's REPO-RELATIVE form once (flag → .gstack/version-path first line → "VERSION"); classify, write, and repair all derive both the relative and absolute paths from it, so base and current reads can no longer diverge. The old resolveVersionPath (which returned an absolute path `git show` cannot use) is folded in. Unit tests (the ENG-OV6 spec case plus write/repair coverage): pin set + no flag → classify reads base AND current from the SAME pinned file (plain-text sub/VERSION and pinned frontend/package.json, both against a real git base with NO root VERSION anywhere), write updates the pinned manifest in place without inventing a root VERSION, repair treats the pinned JSON as single-source, and the explicit flag still overrides the pin (38 pass in test/gstack-version-bump.test.ts). Re-spec'd per ENG-OV6 from the report in #2462 (the originally-filed classify-read hypothesis was already handled; the live bug was the :138 versionRel derivation). Same fix shape independently identified in PR #2501 by @YiftahR. Fixes #2462 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: diff-scope glob coverage, honest exit contract, dirty-tree visibility (#2526, #2455, #2299) Three silent-skip classes in bin/gstack-diff-scope, each of which quietly disabled scope-gated reviewers in /ship and /review: 1. Pattern gaps (#2526, #2455). `*/api/*` required a path segment BEFORE api/, so a root-level api/ layout (Vercel serverless, Next.js pages/api at root) never set SCOPE_API — 63 serverless functions in the reporter's payments repo, none ever classified, the API-contract specialist silently skipped on every payment PR (it found a CRITICAL when run by hand). Same for root-level migrations/. And the Rails data_migrate gem's db/data/ data migrations — arbitrary Ruby run unattended against production data — fell through to plain BACKEND, so the [NEVER_GATE] data-migration specialist never got the chance to run. Added: api/*, migrations/*, db/data/*, data_migrations/*. 2. All-false was indistinguishable from "could not look" (#2526). New contract: empty change set → all false exit 0; >=1 match → flags exit 0; changed files with ZERO matches → SCOPE_ERROR=unmatched + the unmatched paths as comment lines + exit 2 (a new top-level layout now trips loudly instead of invisibly disabling reviewers); unresolvable base ref (shallow CI checkout) → SCOPE_ERROR=no_base + exit 2 instead of a green that means "we could not look". Every output line stays a shell-safe assignment or comment for sourcing consumers, which tolerate the nonzero exit today (source ... || true / eval). 3. Uncommitted work was invisible (#2299). /ship detects scope in Step 9, BEFORE it commits in Step 15, so the common start-work-then-ship flow ran the classifier against an empty diff and skipped every reviewer. The change set is now the UNION of committed diff + working tree + untracked files. Also from #2299: the single first-match-wins case made the nine flags mutually exclusive (Button.test.jsx set FRONTEND but not TESTS; util.test.ts the opposite) — each category now gets its own case, with BACKEND deliberately still excluding frontend component/view files. And file listing is NUL-safe (git diff -z), so non-ASCII paths no longer defeat extension globs via octal quoting. Deliberate behavior change (flagged in #2299): with independent flags, a backend test file sets BACKEND and TESTS, which can trip the security specialist's SCOPE_BACKEND gate on test-only PRs — errs toward more review, not less. Table-driven tests cover every glob class (root api/, nested api/, controllers, openapi, root/nested/prisma/db-migrate/db-data migrations, dual-category test files, auth, prompts, docs, plain classes), the four-state exit contract, dirty-tree + untracked visibility, and the non-ASCII path case (39 pass in test/diff-scope.test.ts).

Merge origin/main into a feature branch and every commit main gained since that branch's last push becomes an added line — content that is already published, already scanned, and not this push's doing. Two consequences, both observed: · FALSE HIGH FINDINGS. A placeholder connection string in a fixture someone else had already merged blocked an unrelated push as db.url_with_password, telling the operator to rotate a credential over a file they never touched. A guard that cries wolf on catch-up merges is one people learn to bypass reflexively — which is exactly how a real secret gets through. · OVERSIZED SCANS. The SCAN_CHUNK_BYTES comment already records a 1,146,782-byte diff from "a feature branch catching up to a busy main" blowing the engine's 1 MiB cap. Same root cause, treated there as a size problem. Narrowing the range fixes the size too. A two-dot range cannot express this: after merging main, neither the remote tip nor the merge-base with main is an ancestor of the other, so no single base excludes both. The narrowed range is `rev-list localSha --not remoteSha --remotes`. remoteSha STAYS the base — it is what git tells us the remote has, and is authoritative in a way --remotes is not, since tracking refs can be absent or stale. Using --remotes alone excludes nothing in a repo without them, so every commit ever made reads as new. That is the same false positive from the other direction, and it is what the existing test "only NEW content is scanned (remote..local), not pre-existing" catches. When excluding tracking refs changes nothing, this push has no catch-up commits and the plain range already describes it exactly — so we defer to it. That keeps every non-catch-up push on the original gitStrict diff path, which is what #1946's fail-closed regression test exercises. A narrowing that silently retired that test would be a worse trade than the false positives it set out to fix. Each commit is diffed alone. A merge's combined diff shows only content present in no parent, so a secret introduced while resolving a conflict is still caught while an ordinary merge contributes nothing. Tests: 22/22 existing prepush tests still pass (two of them fail without the remoteSha base and the defer-to-plain-range guard respectively — verified by mutation). 5 new tests build real repositories on disk and pin both directions: a catch-up merge no longer re-scans published content, and secrets in new commits, in merge resolutions, and in repos with no remote are all still scanned. Absorbs PR #2592 by @Two-Six-Alpha-1115 (applied via git am -3; 5 new tests pass in test/redact-prepush-scan-range.test.ts). Also narrows the range for the rebased-force-push shape reported in #2573 — proven by the follow-up regression test.

This is not a rare edge. Land, title and property-tax repos carry APNs by the hundred; a single title branch pushed 2 MEDIUM findings, and the same shape recurs in every fixture, mart and smoke in the domain. A guardrail that cries wolf on the domain's primary identifier is one people learn to wave through, which is how a real HIGH finding eventually gets ignored. The guard is deliberately narrow, in two tiers: 1. The DOTTED form is exempt on its own shape. No phone convention puts a dot before a trailing 3-4 digit group after a 4-8 digit middle. Hyphen-only variants (22-0001-000) are NOT shape-exempted — those genuinely are phone-shaped. 2. A DIGITS-ONLY span is phone-shaped in isolation, so it earns the exemption only by evidence: it must be the exact digit-normalization of a punctuated APN within the surrounding window. Fixtures and marts carry the pair; a real phone number has no such twin. This reads the document's own evidence instead of guessing from digits. Verified against the unmodified engine over inputs spanning every rule family (AWS, PEM, GitHub PAT, email, IP, credit card, SSN, timestamp, UUID, nine phone formats): exactly one behavior changed, the APN pair. The new test pins both directions and was proven red under mutation — stubbing the guard to `return true` (the dangerous blanket-exemption failure) fails 12 of 15; `return false` fails 3.

The catch-up-merge narrowing (`rev-list localSha --not remoteSha --remotes`) covers this shape too: the upstream commits are reachable from origin/main's remote-tracking ref, which exists by construction — you cannot have rebased onto origin/main without it. No residual gap found; this lands the proof alone, end-to-end through the actual hook binary with the real pre-push stdin protocol: - fixture sanity: the pre-rebase tip exists locally, is NOT an ancestor, and the OLD two-dot range would have swept in the upstream credential - a clean rebased force-push passes — someone else's already-published HIGH-shaped fixture no longer blocks it - coverage is not narrowed: a HIGH in a rebased commit of our own still blocks - the scanned commit set is exactly the rebased own commits, so scan size is proportional to OUR work, not to how busy main was Analyzed non-gap, recorded in the test header: upstream commits in NO remote-tracking ref cannot arise from the standard flow — rebasing onto origin/<branch> requires the tracking ref, and rebasing onto a purely local branch means the "upstream" content was never published, so scanning it is correct.

Why: bun.lock pinned playwright(-core)@1.58.2, whose Chromium build macOS XProtect now kills on launch — browse is dead on macOS (#2554). 1.62.1 ships Chromium 151.0.7922.34 (headless shell v1234), which launches clean. Verification: bunx playwright install chromium (Chrome Headless Shell 151.0.7922.34 downloaded), then the full browse suite from browse/: 2016 pass / 32 skip / 2 fail across 129 files (133.9s). Both fails are playwright-independent: data-platform.test.ts "rejects paths in cwd" expects <cwd>/package.json to exist (browse/ has none; passes from repo root, the shard runner's cwd — 15/15), and stealth-webdriver.test.ts passes standalone (15/15) — a 5s-timeout flake under full-suite parallel load.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): XProtect launch-kill self-heal — classify, quarantine-clear, bounded reinstall (P0 #2554) macOS XProtect definition updates can start SIGKILLing the exact Chromium revision the lockfile pins (xprotectd killed revision 1208's headless shell at spawn; the failure surfaced as a generic launch timeout). New browse/src/xprotect-heal.ts heals it, once per process: - Classifier (F9): positive signatures sourced from the #2554 report + Playwright's launch-error format (signal=SIGKILL process-exit lines, and launch timeout WITH a <launched> marker), negative-checked FIRST against missing executable, spawn EACCES/EPERM, Linux sandbox denials, and plain exitCode=1 crashes. darwin-gated. - Heal (F4 one-shot, in-memory flag): clears com.apple.quarantine via `xattr -dr` on chromium* revision dirs in the Playwright cache ONLY — never a GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH bundle (probePoisonedChromiumBundle's scope contract, double-gated at the call sites via usesCustomExecutable). - Reinstall (E1/ENG-OV3): `bunx playwright install --force chromium` run FROM THE GSTACK INSTALL ROOT — the root whose node_modules/playwright-core/browsers.json pins the SAME chromium revision our embedded playwright-core expects (a cwd-resolved bunx would fetch latest and heal to the wrong revision). Bounded at 120s with a process-GROUP SIGKILL on timeout; on any heal failure the caller gets the ORIGINAL launch error + manual `bunx playwright install chromium` guidance — the CLI never hangs. - Verification (F9): post-install asserts the REGISTRY-derived executable path exists (the revision dir playwright-core 1.62.1 expects), not merely install exit 0. - Logging (F11): every action emits one structured stderr line ([browse:xprotect-heal] JSON). All three launch sites in browser-manager.ts (headless launch, headed launchPersistentContext, handoff relaunch) route through launchWithXProtectHeal with one post-heal retry. setup's ensure_playwright_browser failure path gains the same quarantine-clear (_clear_playwright_quarantine, Darwin-only, Playwright cache scope) before its Chromium reinstall. Tests: browse/test/xprotect-heal.test.ts — 33 pass (classifier both polarities, one-shot guard incl. failed-heal consumption, custom-executable scope, registry-revision expectation vs playwright-core browsers.json, install-root revision matching, quarantine-clear scope, wrapper retry + guidance surfacing). browser-manager unit/custom-chromium: 36 pass. bridge-chromium-e2e real-launch smoke: 3 pass. setup-windows-fallback ln-invariant: 9 pass. bash -n setup: clean.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): daemon owns signal policy — handleSIG*:false at launch sites + SIGHUP shutdown (#2220) Playwright's default handleSIGINT/handleSIGTERM/handleSIGHUP handlers close Chromium the moment the DAEMON process receives a signal — which fights the deliberate headless SIGTERM-ignore in server.ts (Claude Code's Bash sandbox fires SIGTERM when the parent shell exits between tool invocations; the daemon survives it by design, but Playwright's handler killed its browser out from under it). All three flags are now false at all three launch sites (headless launch, headed launchPersistentContext, handoff relaunch). ENG-OV4: the daemon had NO process-level SIGHUP handler (only SIGINT and the mode-aware SIGTERM handler), so flipping handleSIGHUP:false alone would remove the ONLY Chromium cleanup on hangup. server.ts now routes SIGHUP to activeShutdown — the same shutdown path SIGINT uses (closes Chromium, releases ports, removes the state file). Static tripwire (browse/test/launch-signal-flags.test.ts, house grep-style): every chromium.launch/launchPersistentContext site must carry the three flags (site count pinned at 3 so a NEW launch site trips it), server.ts must keep the SIGHUP→activeShutdown route, and the deliberate headless SIGTERM-ignore must still exist (the reason handleSIGTERM:false is safe — pinned in the test's header comment).

Most of the PR already landed in earlier waves: the tick-derived RESPAWN_GUARD_WINDOW_MS, the spawnTerminalAgent windowsHide flag, the process-liveness regression tests, and the browse/test import.meta.path sweep are all on main. Two pieces remained: 1. isProcessAlive EPERM semantics (error-handling.ts): on the signal-0 path, EPERM means the process EXISTS but we lack rights to signal it — that is ALIVE. Returning false made callers that validate liveness before killing (killAgentByRecord, the terminal-agent watchdog) skip the kill and respawn around a survivor — the self-reinforcing one-leak-per-tick chain from #2414/#2295. Matters for cross-user PID checks. 2. Six test/ files ADDED SINCE the PR reintroduced the exact Windows bug its second commit fixed: `new URL(import.meta.url).pathname` yields `/C:/Users/...` on Windows, so path.resolve prepends the cwd drive and every tripwire ENOENTs instead of asserting anything (egress-receipt, egress-lib, egress-receipt-wiring, gstack-egress-cli, pty-skill-seeding-wiring, skill-census). All six now use import.meta.path — Bun's absolute native path, identical arity. The remaining #2414 piece — replacing the Windows tasklist probe with signal-0 — lands as its own commit (#1952) on top of this shape. Tests: the 6 touched test files 47 pass; process-liveness-windows + error-handling 13 pass. Re-derived from PR #2414 by @SYKhayyat. Fixes the residual of #2295.

Node maps signal-0 to an OpenProcess existence check on Windows — and the Windows daemon runs under Node (dist/server-node.mjs + bun-polyfill, the documented oven-sh/bun#4253 fallback) — so the probe is portable. Why the shell-out had to go, beyond the cosmetic conhost flash the watchdog blinked into the foreground every 60s (#1952): a Bun.spawnSync that hits its timeout still RETURNS with partial stdout, so the `.includes()` PID match answered "dead" for LIVE processes under load — the false-negative half of the #2414/#2295 leak chain. Signal 0 spawns nothing, cannot time out, and is ~5 orders of magnitude faster (measurements in #2414). EPERM still reports alive (process exists, we just can't signal it). Layered on the post-#2414-absorb shape: test 3 in process-liveness-windows.test.ts now asserts the probe is subprocess-free on ANY platform (win32 exemption dropped), test 4's static tripwire loses its error-handling.ts exemption (a `tasklist … PID eq` existence probe anywhere in src/ now fails CI), and windows-spawn-hide.test.ts drops its tasklist-in-error-handling needle (nothing spawns, which is stronger than hiding the window).

Exemptions carry reasons — the one today is domain-skill-commands' interactive $EDITOR spawn (stdio:'inherit'; CREATE_NO_WINDOW would detach a console editor into an invisible console).

New contract (decision 9 / F10): - probeHealthWithBackoff is budget-based: ~8s total (HEALTH_PROBE_TOTAL_BUDGET_MS), 500ms intervals, each probe self-bounded at 2s — sized to the observed busy windows. - decideDaemonRestart (pure, exported, unit-tested) encodes the IRON RULE: healthy-after-probe → retry the SAME daemon; alive+unhealthy → "daemon busy — retry or --force-restart" + NONZERO exit, daemon untouched; only a DEAD pid (or an explicit --force-restart) reaches kill+restart. - --force-restart global flag (extractGlobalFlags): the one consent path that replaces a live daemon, always announcing the state it costs. - Wired at all three kill sites: sendCommand's connection-error branch, ensureServer's stale-state path (which previously killServer'd any alive pid whose single 2s health probe missed), and connect — which used to "Kill ANY existing server" and now refuses to replace a healthy daemon without 'browse disconnect' or --force-restart. pair-agent's internal headed switch passes --force-restart explicitly (the mode switch is that command's stated purpose), preserving its behavior. E5 IRON RULE regression tests (busy-daemon-iron-rule.test.ts, real spawned CLI + fake daemons + live sleep-pid stand-ins per the busy-daemon-recovery.test.ts pattern): healthy daemon SURVIVES connect (refused with guidance, pid alive, state file untouched); wedged-alive daemon + plain command → busy report, nonzero exit, pid alive; wedged daemon + --force-restart IS killed and a real replacement daemon serves the command. Plus pure-function coverage of all four decision outcomes and the ~8s budget pin. Tests: busy-daemon-iron-rule 8 pass (16.7s, includes a real daemon lifecycle); busy-daemon-recovery + proxy-config + daemon-mismatch-refuse + cli-lock + cli-start-final-healthcheck + cli-setsid-daemonize 39 pass. Fixes #2219. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): `stop` on a dead daemon is success — never boots a daemon to stop it (#2254) Two changes, one contract: - Pre-server short-circuit: `browse stop` is handled BEFORE ensureServer(). No daemon state → "nothing to stop", exit 0. Stale state (dead pid AND dead port) → clean the state file, exit 0. The old flow routed stop through ensureServer(), which started a fresh daemon + Chromium (multi-second boot, resource churn) purely so it could be told to shut down — or crashed on the stale state. - Reconnect branch: a connection error while sending `stop` where the pid turns out dead (daemon died mid-flight, between the short-circuit check and the send) is treated as SUCCESS — the desired end state (no daemon) already holds — instead of the crash-restart path. Integration tests (stop-dead-daemon.test.ts, real spawned CLI + scratch BROWSE_STATE_FILE): stop with no state exits 0 and spawns nothing (a spawned daemon would have written the state file); stop with a stale state file (dead pid + verified-closed port) exits 0, cleans the state, and spawns nothing. Tests: stop-dead-daemon 2 pass; busy-daemon-iron-rule 8 pass; busy-daemon-recovery 1 pass (11/11 combined). Fixes #2254. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(upgrade): /gstack-upgrade stops a stale daemon — deferring to a busy one (#2551) A browse daemon started before an upgrade keeps serving the OLD binary's code after `git reset --hard` + `./setup` — the running process holds the old executable, so users on the "new" version kept getting pre-upgrade behavior (and config-mismatch refusals against the new CLI) until they happened to stop it by hand. New unconditional Step 4.8 in gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md.tmpl (+ regen, same commit): compare the running daemon's recorded binaryVersion (the readVersionHash git-SHA the server stamps into its state file) against the freshly built browse/dist/.version. - Stale + responsive → `browse stop` (graceful), telling the user old→new hash; the next command boots a daemon on the new binary. - Stale + BUSY → DEFER (decision 10): never kill a busy daemon during upgrade. Print the old→new hash and the escape hatch — `browse stop` when it finishes, or `browse --force-restart stop` now. - Dead pid / matching hash / no state → silent no-op. Tests: skill-validation + gen-skill-docs 731 pass after regen. Fixes #2551. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): terminal-agent allocates from the fixed port scan range, not port:0 (#2314) The terminal-agent bound `Bun.serve({ port: 0 })` and kept that OS-assigned port for its whole (weeks-long) lifetime. `port: 0` draws from the OS EPHEMERAL range (49152-65535 on macOS) — the exact pool every short-lived `app.listen(0)` test server draws from — so the agent squatted ports that test suites expected to receive and silently absorbed their traffic as phantom 404s (two squatting daemons verified in the report). Fix per decision 8: extract the main server's port allocation into browse/src/port-allocator.ts (checkPortAvailable / isPortAvailable / findAvailablePort + the 10000-60000 range constants and the actionable sandbox-vs-occupied error formatters, all verbatim from server.ts) and make BOTH long-lived listeners use it — server.ts's findPort is now a thin findAvailablePort(BROWSE_PORT) wrapper, and terminal-agent's buildServer takes a pre-allocated port from the same range. No terminal-port consumer carries a range assumption (they read the port file), verified by grep. Tests: terminal-agent-port-range (new — allocator stays inside 10000-60000 and below the 49152 ephemeral floor, explicit-port honored, occupied-explicit throws, static tripwires pin no-port:0 in terminal-agent.ts and the shared wrapper in server.ts) + findport + terminal-agent-integration/session-routing/detach-reattach + dual-listener: 67 pass, 0 fail. Fixes #2314. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): capture daemon stdout/stderr to browse-daemon.log + Windows polyfill spawn fixes (re-derived from #2461) The detached daemon's stdout/stderr were wired to 'ignore' on every platform, so every console.error('[browse] FATAL: ...') from a Chromium crash, uncaughtException, or unhandledRejection was discarded at the OS level — a crash-and-respawn looked identical to every other dropped session, with nothing on disk recording why. Both spawn paths now redirect to <stateDir>/browse-daemon.log (append mode, accumulates across respawns): the Unix path via an fd from openDaemonLogSink(), the Windows path by opening the fd INSIDE the node -e launcher string (an fd opened in cli.ts would not cross the spawn boundary). Unwritable state dir falls back to 'ignore' rather than failing the launch. Capturing daemon output is what surfaced the PR's second fix, still valid on current main: bun-polyfill.cjs's Bun.spawn/spawnSync called Node's child_process with a bare command name, which Windows can't resolve without PATHEXT lookup ("spawn bun ENOENT" from the terminal-agent respawn path). Routed through cross-spawn on win32 (now a direct dependency; already in the tree transitively via @modelcontextprotocol/sdk) — the PR verified empirically that shell:true does NOT neutralize cmd.exe metacharacters reachable via `$B skill run` arg passthrough, and that Node refuses .cmd spawns without a shell (CVE-2024-27980), so cross-spawn's combined PATHEXT resolution + argument escaping is the only correct shape. The PR's third fix (resolveDisconnectCause throwing "browser?.process is not a function") already landed on main via the #2085 typeof guard — not re-applied. F6 log hygiene (daemon-log-hygiene.test.ts): needle tests pin the log wiring on both spawn paths (and that stdio 'ignore','ignore','ignore' never returns), that bun-polyfill stays on cross-spawn with no shell:true, that NO console.* call in src/ passes a token value (interpolated or bare arg), and that the page-content carrier modules (tab-session, buffers, content-security, activity) stay console-free — so neither AUTH_TOKEN nor unsanitized page-derived strings can reach browse-daemon.log. Tests: daemon-log-hygiene + bun-polyfill + windows-spawn-hide + cli-setsid-daemonize 21 pass; stop-dead-daemon + busy-daemon-iron-rule (exercises a REAL daemon boot through the new log-fd wiring) 10 pass.

A cold spawn takes over the 2s timeout in resolveGbrainBin (warm runs are ~700ms), so the probe times out, localEngineStatus classifies the engine as "no-cli", and the 60s status cache then serves that false negative to every skill preamble and sync run. /sync-gbrain skips the memory stage with "gbrain CLI not on PATH" even though the CLI works. Give the shim 10s of headroom, gated on NEEDS_SHELL_ON_WINDOWS so POSIX keeps the cheap 2s probe. Applies to both resolveGbrainBin and readGbrainVersion. Observed on Windows 11, bun 1.3.14, gbrain 0.42.59.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): remove the dead security shield + unfed /health.security (re-derived from #2557) The sidebar's SEC shield has been dead UI since the PTY terminal rewrite: nothing set its data-status, nothing unhid it, and the /health.security field behind it read getStatus() off ~/.gstack/security/session-state.json — a file whose ONLY writer (sidebar-agent.ts) was deleted with the chat path. /health therefore reported a permanent 'inactive', or a stale FALSE-GREEN 'protected' wherever an old state file survived on disk (a single unit-test run was enough to plant one). A green shield sourced from leftover state reads as "no threats detected" when the real state is "not measured" — the same fail-open class as #2026. Removed (dead surfaces only): the shield markup/CSS and the stale sidepanel.js comment; the /health security field and server.ts's getStatus import; getStatus / SecurityStatus / StatusDetail / SessionState / read+writeSessionState (and security.ts's dead child_process import); the session-state + getStatus unit tests — including the round-trip test that wrote real fixture data into ~/.gstack and left /health green forever. (The PR's security-sidepanel-dom.test.ts deletion already happened on main via #2230; its resolveDisconnectCause guard landed via the #2085 typeof fix. Neither re-applied.) Kept, per ENG-OV9 — security.ts has LIVE consumers: the pure combiner (combineVerdict + THRESHOLDS), canary utilities, and extractDomain stay; server.ts's /pty-inject-scan L4 path (isSidecarAvailable + scanWithSidecar) is untouched. browse/test/server-security-surface.test.ts pins BOTH directions: the dead surface stays dead (no /health security field, no getStatus import, no reader of the security session-state file, shield markup gone) and the live half stays live (sidecar wiring in server.ts, combiner/canary exports in security.ts, /health carries no token — the v1.63 regression wall). A future re-feed from LIVE signals must update that test deliberately rather than resurrect the state-file path. F13 (same commit): CLAUDE.md's Sidebar security stack section, ARCHITECTURE.md's prompt-injection Visibility + critical-constraint paragraphs, and BROWSER.md's security section now describe the removed surfaces as history, not live features. Net -166 lines.

It flaked `$B skill test` (bun test writes its banner to stdout and the pass/fail summary to stderr, so a dropped stderr silently degraded the result to just the banner) and would blank a skill's JSON result on `$B skill run` while still reporting success. New runToFiles() points the child's stdout/stderr at temp files via Bun.file() (never raw fds — closing self-opened fds around a spawn tripped Bun's fd bookkeeping into a stray epoll_ctl EBADF), awaits exit, then reads the files: the kernel has flushed everything by child exit, so the post-exit read is complete, and chatty children can't stall on a full pipe buffer. Both handleTest and spawnSkill route through it (timeout + capped read preserved via timeoutMs/maxStdoutBytes). Bun.spawnSync would also capture reliably but would deadlock: a spawned skill calls back into this same daemon on GSTACK_PORT. The `tests passed for "<name>"` fallback is gone — a passing bun test always prints a summary, so exit 0 with no output means the run was NOT captured, and handleTest now throws instead of fabricating success. The E2E assertion checks both stream halves (banner + summary + "Ran N tests") instead of the loose alternation whose `tests passed` branch matched the synthetic fallback vacuously. A static tripwire pins the structure: runToFiles owns the module's ONLY Bun.spawn, and no site reads child output via stdout:'pipe' / new Response(proc.stdout) / getReader().

Both sites now pass windowsHide: true via patches/playwright-core@1.62.1.patch (generated with `bun patch` / `bun patch --commit`). Coherence verified end-to-end: rm -rf node_modules && bun install applies the patch cleanly (both sites present in the reinstalled tree), and a real chromium.launch() through the patched bundle works. browse/test/playwright-core-patch.test.ts pins the three-legged invariant statically — package.json's patchedDependencies key is VERSION-KEYED against the installed playwright-core, the patch file exists and carries both sites, bun.lock records the patch, and the installed bundle actually has it applied — so a future playwright bump that forgets to re-target the patch fails CI with the exact key to regenerate (revert pairing: dropping the c25 bump requires dropping this patch too).

The probe now iterates CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md. gstack-team-init's required-mode enforcement (the CLAUDE.md verification snippet and the generated .claude/hooks/check-gstack.sh) hardcoded ~/.claude/skills/gstack, false-blocking installs living at any other host's global root or the migrated ~/.gstack/repos/gstack location. Both sites now resolve the install root: GSTACK_ROOT env first, then every registered host's globalRoot, then the migrated repo path. Install instructions keep pointing at the canonical Claude location. test/routing-probe.test.ts pins both: rendered-preamble assertions plus a live execution of the extracted probe block (AGENTS.md-only repo => yes), and a drift test that requires every hosts-registry globalRoot to appear in team-init's probe list.

Three sites misfired on fresh installs (no ceo-plans / checkpoints / plans yet), exactly where a wrong answer is least likely to be recognized: review.ts's plan fallback silently adopted a random cwd .md as "the plan", and Context Recovery listed unrelated cwd files as RECENT ARTIFACTS / LATEST_CHECKPOINT. All three now use xargs -r ls -t, mirroring the shape the sibling bin/gstack-codex-session-import fix (#2482) landed with: -r pins the BSD skip-on-empty behavior on GNU too, and BSD xargs accepts -r as a no-op. test/empty-find-fallthrough.test.ts pins it four ways: no bare xargs ls -t in scripts/ or bin/, both rendered Context Recovery sites guarded, a live execution proving an empty checkpoints dir yields no checkpoint (not a decoy cwd file), and a rendered-SKILL.md sweep.

Every gstack codex invocation now passes -c 'web_search="cached"' instead. The flag previously lived inline at 19 raw sites. Per ENG-OV11a the 10 template-inline sites (autoplan/SKILL.md.tmpl x4, codex/SKILL.md.tmpl x6) convert to a shared {{CODEX_WEB_SEARCH_FLAG}} token first, so ONE resolver constant (CODEX_WEB_SEARCH_FLAG in scripts/resolvers/constants.ts) now covers all sites: review.ts x5, design.ts x3, the token resolver in utility.ts, and the tool-map helper comment. codex/SKILL.md.tmpl's web-search prose guarantee is corrected: the -c form explicitly overrides a top-level web_search config (the legacy flag yielded to it), and native codex review disables web search regardless of configuration, so the flag is a no-op on the default Review path. test/codex-web-search-flag.test.ts is the safety net: repo-wide grep tripwires assert NO rendered SKILL.md/section/golden and NO source file carries the deprecated spelling, and that the token resolves in rendered output.

Agents run with cwd in the USER'S project — the relative lookup never resolves, silently fails, and the documented {skill}-{slug} fallback fabricates a singleton question_id every time (one observed /plan-eng-review session: 21/21 unregistered ids, so no per-question preference can ever attach). The resolver now interpolates ctx.paths.skillRoot the way sibling resolvers interpolate bin paths: ~/.claude/skills/gstack/scripts/question-registry.ts on Claude, $GSTACK_ROOT/scripts/question-registry.ts on env-var hosts. test/question-tuning-registry-path.test.ts asserts the rendered path per host, forbids the bare relative shape, and checks the target file exists in the install tree.

The probe now uses ${BRANCH:-unknown}, the canonical value the gstack-slug eval on the block's first line already sets. review.ts's plan content-search BRANCH gains the missing tr -cd half so it matches the same canonical pipeline. Full audit of the 5 raw $_BRANCH interpolation sites in scripts/resolvers/ (E3): generate-context-recovery.ts:16 (reviews.jsonl path) -> canonical BRANCH; :19/:21 (timeline.jsonl content greps) KEEP raw $_BRANCH because the timeline writer (preamble's gstack-timeline-log call) stores the raw branch in the "branch" field — slugging the reader would break that pairing; generate-preamble-bash.ts:29 (display echo) and :97 (timeline data write) keep raw by design. The *-$BRANCH-design-*.md family (review.ts:313 + 3 plan-review templates) is a consistent tr '/' '-' writer/reader pair and is deliberately untouched. test/branch-slug-hygiene.test.ts pins the discipline: a rendered-output sweep forbids raw $_BRANCH adjacent to a path separator or as a filename prefix in ANY generated SKILL.md/section, and a live round-trip on a feat/slash branch proves gstack-review-log's write is found by the rendered probe (with the raw-form shape as a negative control).

Verdicts: MODEL_OK (cached 1h, keyed on config.toml + auth.json mtimes so a pin edit or re-login re-probes immediately), MODEL_UNUSABLE (exit 1, prints the rejection plus HINTs at the model= pin and the [notice.model_migrations] table), MODEL_PROBE_INCONCLUSIVE (timeout or transient: FAIL-OPEN so network luck never wedges codex mode).

The override env var forces the nested passes for users who really want them. codex/SKILL.md.tmpl Step 0.5 gains the same probe: /codex under a Codex host stops with a one-line notice, since its whole value is a SECOND model's opinion. test/codex-under-codex-detection.test.ts runs the rendered preflight bash under all four env combinations (thread-id only, sandbox only, forced, clean) and asserts the probe + notice render in the three preflight consumers and the codex skill.

The match now anchors to the graph phase (resolve_symbol_edges/extract_code_symbols); a base-pack run with a built graph is clean, and a resolved-0 run gets the honest 0-edge diagnosis.

Each runtime-root creator now links its host-rendered gstack-office-hours SKILL.md at office-hours/SKILL.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gbrain-install): name the real fix when an npm-installed bun breaks the shim Fixes #2487. `npm i -g bun` puts POSIX/cmd/ps1 shims on %PATH% but never bun.exe — and the gbrain.exe shim that `bun link` generates resolves bun.exe specifically, so link succeeds and every gbrain call dies with bun's misleading "bun is not installed in %PATH%" (which suggests installing a second parallel bun). The D19 validation failure paths now detect the condition on Windows and print the actual remediation: bun's own process.execPath IS the hidden bun.exe — add its directory to PATH.

Prevents the agent from inventing project wiring on apps the bridge doesn't support (ObservableObject-style or non-SwiftPM apps): the preflight now names the compatibility check and the manual fallback path.

The override forces every resolution to ^0.6.0.

Removing the dependency removes the surface: the basic-ftp override and test/basic-ftp-security-pin.test.ts retire with it (the lockfile resolves zero basic-ftp copies now). transformers ^4.2.0, marked ^18.0.9, socks ^2.8.9 land per the dependabot group, gated on the ONNX sidecar load+classify smoke passing with the bumped transformers (28/28 sidecar+classifier+security tests green post-bump).

(1) The three T6 tripwires (branch-slug, codex-flag, empty-find) enumerated the whole tree including the workspace-local .claude/ install, which is not generated output and can carry dangling symlinks from unrelated sessions — one ENOENT there failed all three. They now scan repo sources only. (2) browse/test/cdp-e2e.test.ts mutated process.env.GSTACK_HOME at module scope without restore; in one-process shard runs that leaks into every later test file — observed baking cdp-e2e's temp render path into artifacts that outlived it (53 dangling SKILL.md symlinks in a workspace install). The original value is now restored in afterAll. The exact test that performed the polluted relink remains unattributed; both known leak vectors are closed and the workspace was repaired via an explicit gstack-relink. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): honest budget for the suite's one headed persistent-context launch The launchHeaded/handoff parity test cold-launches a HEADED Chromium — 8-25s on macOS, worse on the first launch of a freshly downloaded bundle (XProtect scans it, the #2554 class) and under shard concurrency. bun's 5s default made it the suite's most reliable false negative: it timed out identically on the pre-wave baseline run of pristine main. 45s budget; passes 15/15. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): assemble redact fixtures at runtime — the guard caught its own wave The pre-push redact guard BLOCKED this branch's first push: the wave's new scan-range tests carried live-FORMAT fake credentials as literals (3 AWS key shapes + a password-bearing DB URL), and the guard scans pushed diff bytes. Same dogfood moment as the v1.64 wave, same rule: assemble the fixture at runtime so the diff never carries a credential shape, never bypass the guard. Runtime strings stay live-format for the hook under test. The guard works. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): sync ios-qa fixture mirrors with the #2585 DEBUG-guard templates The #2585 absorb updated DebugBridgeTouch.m.template and Package.swift.template but not their FixtureApp mirrors, failing the template↔fixture parity gate. DebugBridgeTouch.m syncs byte-for-byte; the fixture Package.swift takes only the template's new cSettings DEBUG define on the Touch target (the fixture's own testTarget is fixture-only content the parity normalization deliberately ignores — a naive full copy breaks the XCTest invariant). 23/23 including the real swift build. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(slug): env-override runs never persist to the cwd cache; cache is GSTACK_HOME-aware Found while closing the wave's eval gate: a test exporting GSTACK_PROJECT_SLUG from the repo root persisted the override into the cwd slug cache, silently rebinding the ENTIRE repo's session state (evals, decisions, timelines) to the test's slug for every later env-less run. The escape hatch is per-invocation by contract — it no longer writes the cache. The cache dir also hardcoded $HOME while lib/bin-context.ts's native port (#2561) reads it GSTACK_HOME-aware, so temp-home test runs littered the real ~/.gstack (observed: 2,528 stale temp-cwd entries, swept). Writer and reader now key the same GSTACK_HOME-aware cache; regression tests pin both behaviors. Also raises the cso --diff eval budget (240s/25t → 360s/40t): transcript-verified, the wave's legitimately-grown audit session completes the report and dies in closing telemetry at ~215s under the old budget; the full-audit sibling already runs at 300s. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): pin GSTACK_HOME in the slug walk-up cache tests The cache dir became GSTACK_HOME-aware; these tests seed and assert cache files under a temp HOME but spread the ambient env, so a sibling test leaking process.env.GSTACK_HOME in a shared-process shard pointed the bin at a different cache than the one under assertion (AC-2/AC-6 failed in shard context, passed solo). The env now pins GSTACK_HOME to the temp home — verified identical results with and without a simulated ambient leak. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): the cache-hygiene test strips ambient GSTACK_PROJECT_SLUG Its env-less contract must be env-less: any ambient override leaking into a shared-process shard flips the run into override mode, which correctly skips the cache write the test asserts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): ratchet ship's skeleton cap for the v1.66.1 merge union Merging main's v1.66.1.0 (evidence-ledger prose in ship's template) on top of the wave's growth lands ship at 90,333 bytes, 333 over its cap. Re-measured per the ratchet protocol: cap 90,800. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(brain-sync): throttle + bound the detector push; empty-queue fast path Review-army findings on the #2549 detector. (1) The preamble runs --once at every skill boundary, so an unthrottled retry paid a full network push attempt per boundary in exactly the steady states it targets (offline, broken auth) — a captive-portal push can block 30-75s against the header's "<1s when idle" promise. Attempts now stamp .brain-last-push-attempt and retry at most every 10 minutes; the push never prompts (GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0) and bounds stalled transfers via git's low-speed limits (portable — stock macOS has no timeout binary). (2) Author-scoped: only gstack-brain-sync's own commits retry; a user's manual commit in ~/.gstack rides along on real drains as before, never auto-published by the detector. (3) Empty-queue fast path exits before the compute/rewrite python spawns — the steady state is now cheaper than the pre-wave truncation code. (4) The queue rewrite warns on failure instead of silently letting the status claim a drain that didn't happen, counts held unparseable lines, and collapses duplicate lines on rewrite. Throttle + delivery matrix cases added (37/37). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(version-bump): JSON version-paths get the npm translation; honest recovery messages Review-army findings. A repo whose package.json carries the legacy 4-digit mirror and pins it via .gstack/version-path would get "1.67.0.1" written into a manifest npm rejects forever, with no drift state to catch it (a JSON source is self-consistent by construction) — the JSON branch now writes the npm-valid translation, warns when translation occurred, and surfaces the requested form. Lockfile-failure messages now match reality per failure point: classify never reads lockfiles, so "re-run and repair" was a false promise when package.json was written and only the lockfile threw. Both malformed-version messages read MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[.MICRO], matching the 3-digit contract this wave ships. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(extension): remove the orphaned security-banner block; repair two dead CSS tokens Design-review findings. The 197-line .security-banner component (incl. its keyframes) had no producer — no JS has created the element since the chat-path rip, the same dead-hidden-security-UI class as the #2557 shield this wave removed; a tombstone comment points at git history if the banner UX returns. Two pre-existing token bugs in the mem-toast styles: --zinc-700 was never defined so the button hover computed to transparent (now carries a fallback), and --font-sans doesn't exist (now --font-system, which :root defines). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(brain-sync): detector pushes only when ALL unpushed commits are its own; lock released on every exit The unpushed-commit detector's author check was existential: any bot-authored commit in origin/<branch>..HEAD armed a push of HEAD, silently publishing interleaved user-authored commits in ~/.gstack. Now the gate requires the author-scoped count to equal the total unpushed count — one user commit disables the autonomous retry entirely (user commits still ride along when a real drain pushes). Detached HEAD is excluded (origin/HEAD usually resolves, making the retry a 10-minutely doomed push). The lock-release trap now installs immediately after lock acquisition instead of after the empty-queue fast path — the steady state at every skill boundary leaked the lock dir and relied on stale-PID detection, which PID reuse defeats. An INT during the detector's network push is covered too. Matrix test: interleaved user commit blocks the detector, then a real drain delivers everything. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(version-bump): version-path and package-json-path pins cannot escape the repository .gstack/version-path and .gstack/package-json-path are repo-controlled content. A cloned repo pinning '../../victim.json' — or an in-repo symlink pointing outside — turned a routine bump into an arbitrary file overwrite outside the repository. assertRepoContained rejects absolute paths, lexical .. escapes, and symlink escapes (deepest existing ancestor realpath'd, so a not-yet-created VERSION file is checked through its parent). Lockfiles that are symlinks resolving outside the repo are skipped with a warning instead of written through. Six containment tests including the not-over-broad control (subdirectory pins keep working). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): port allocator range actually stays below the ephemeral floor; terminal-agent retries a raced bind RANDOM_PORT_MAX was 60000 while the module header documents 49152-65535 as the pool to avoid — ~22% of allocations landed back inside it, preserving the phantom-404 squatting class for both the daemon and the weeks-lived terminal-agent. The cap is now 49151 and the range test pins the true property (< 49152) instead of the old <= 60000 tautology. terminal-agent boot also re-allocates and retries up to 5 times when Bun.serve throws in the probe-then-bind TOCTOU window — previously a concurrent bind killed the boot with no retry via main().catch → exit 1. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(codex-probe): bash-native watchdog when no timeout binary exists; negative-cache the deterministic model 400 Stock macOS ships neither coreutils gtimeout nor timeout(1); the wrapper's fallback ran the command unwrapped, so a hung codex exec blocked the probe and the calling workflow indefinitely. The fallback now backgrounds the command, TERMs it at the deadline, and mirrors timeout(1)'s exit-124 contract — with the watchdog's stdout detached so an early finish never blocks a caller's $(...) capture on the orphaned sleep. MODEL_UNUSABLE is now negative-cached for 15 minutes (same exit-1 + hints from cache). The deterministic 400 is config-driven, so re-probing every preflight charged the affected user a 30s round trip plus real tokens per review section, forever. Editing config.toml — the fix — changes the cache signature and re-probes immediately; MODEL_PROBE_INCONCLUSIVE stays uncached. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): xprotect heal resolves the install root via os.homedir and keeps guidance on a failed retry With HOME unset, the global-install candidate became the RELATIVE path .claude/skills/gstack under the daemon's cwd — often an untrusted repo being QA'd, whose planted node_modules would then be where the heal runs the playwright install (repo-controlled code execution). os.homedir() plus an absolute-or-skip guard closes the class. launchWithXProtectHeal also wraps the post-heal retry: a second classified failure previously propagated raw, dropping the manual-remediation guidance exactly when the automatic path had just proven insufficient. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(make-pdf): --strict and --confidential join BOOLEAN_FLAGS; the guard test derives the set from source Both flags are read as '=== true' booleans but were missing from BOOLEAN_FLAGS, so 'generate --strict essay.md' still ate essay.md as the flag's value — the exact #2514 failure the set exists to prevent. The completeness guard hardcoded six names and could not catch it; it now derives every boolean read from cli.ts itself (direct reads plus booleanFlag pairs), so the next boolean flag fails the suite until it joins the set.

The gate now requires "gstack" as an anchored path segment (gstack/*|*/gstack/*, same pattern as shape 1) AND the dir name in gstack's skill inventory (parity with shape 3); anything else is listed to stderr, never deleted. - The new Cursor removals (~/.cursor/skills/gstack* and repo-local .cursor/skills/gstack*) rm -rf'd any glob match with no provenance check, so a hand-written ~/.cursor/skills/gstack-fork-notes was swept. Real dirs now require the AUTO-GENERATED banner in SKILL.md; non-matching dirs are kept and listed. Legacy codex/factory/kiro globs are untouched (tracked in TODOS as a follow-up). - The _INVENTORY seed list hardcodes alias names created by setup's _install_alias_skill_md; both sites now carry mirrored keep-in-sync comments so a renamed alias can't silently strand its dir. The skipped-entry report moves to the end of the run so cursor skips are listed alongside the Claude ones. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(redact): env.kv stops flagging cacheKey-style names; prepush exclusion scoped to the push remote Two calibration/coverage fixes in the redaction guard: - env.kv's zero-or-more-prefix regex fired on ANY identifier ending in a credential suffix, so ordinary code (cacheKey:, sortKey:, partitionKey:, hotkey:, even monkey:) with an 8+-char entropic value hit a MEDIUM confirm prompt — a gate that cries wolf gets ignored. A name now only counts when its shape is credential-semantic: suffix separated by _/-/. (api_key, x-access-key, AUTH.TOKEN), a bare suffix (key:, token:), ALL-CAPS env style (APIKEY=, MY_APIKEY=), or a camel compound with a credential prefix (apiKey, authToken, clientSecret). The value stays capture group 1, so the shape check lives in validate (isCredentialShapedEnvName), not the regex. - gstack-redact-prepush's narrowing excluded commits reachable from ANY remote (`--not --remotes`), so a secret that had only ever reached a private/local-path remote was never scanned when later pushed to a PUBLIC remote. The exclusion is now scoped to the push target (`--remotes=<name>/*`) via the remote name git hands pre-push as $1 (the installed wrapper already forwards "$@"); stdin/CLI invocations and URL pushes without a configured name fall back to the historical all-remotes behavior. #2592's catch-up-merge fix is unaffected: upstream commits come from the same remote being pushed to. New coverage: env.kv negative controls (cacheKey/sortKey/partitionKey/ hotkey/monkey/idempotencyKey) + positive controls for all four name shapes; end-to-end hook tests proving a second-remote secret blocks a push to origin while origin-published catch-up content still doesn't, plus both fallbacks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): honest probe budget, bounded daemon log, single refusal source, liveness + reinstall coverage Five hardening items in the browse CLI and its tests: - probeHealthWithBackoff's advertised ~8s budget could really run ~10s: the final 2s probe could start 1ms before the deadline, and every call site had JUST run a failed probe yet the loop re-probed immediately. Iterations now start with the sleep and each probe's timeout clamps to the remaining budget (isServerHealthy takes an injectable timeout). - browse-daemon.log is append-mode across every respawn with no size cap, so a crash-respawn loop fills the disk. The path is now built in one place (daemonLogPath — the Unix fd path and the Windows launcher string had two spellings) and daemon start rotates a >10MB log to browse-daemon.log.1, single generation, matching the repo's 10MB rotation convention. Rotation is exported + injectable and behaviorally unit-tested. - The two "healthy daemon already running" refusal blocks in connect had already drifted (one lost the tabs/cookies/logins explainer) — extracted refuseHeadedOverLiveDaemon as the single source. - process-liveness: pinned the EPERM-means-alive contract (PID 1 on POSIX, PID 4 on Windows — signalable-or-EPERM, both alive). A probe that reads EPERM as dead is the false negative that leaked agents. - runBoundedChromiumReinstall had zero coverage: now exercised end-to-end against a stub bunx on a prepended PATH — exit 0, install-exit-N with stderr tail, the detached group-kill timeout path (child of the child dies too), and spawn-error. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hooks): timeline Stop hook reads a 256KB tail instead of the whole file The Stop hook runs on EVERY Claude Code turn machine-wide and re-read + JSON-parsed the entire timeline each time, scaling to the 10MB size cap (~100-300ms per turn of pure overhead). It now reads only the last 256KB via fstat + positioned read, discarding the first partial line when the window starts mid-file. Semantics: a dangling "started" older than the last 256KB of appends belongs to a session long gone — beyond repair interest. The window can never fabricate a dangling entry ("completed" is always appended AFTER its "started", so any started inside the window has its completion inside the window too), so idempotency holds. The fail-open contract is unchanged: exit 0 always, size cap kept, deadline re-checked before the write. New test: a >256KB timeline where a recent dangling entry still gets repaired while an old out-of-window dangler is left alone; all existing fail-open cases pass unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): Windows runtime-asset copies prune nested gitignored build output _link_skill_runtime_assets' exclusion list filters DIRECT children only, so the Windows cp -R real-copy path swept NESTED gitignored build output into the installed skill dirs — concretely, ios-qa/scripts/gen-accessors-tool/ .build is 252MB per install. The IS_WINDOWS real-copy branch now prunes nested node_modules/.build/dist post-copy (find -prune -exec rm -rf). Scoped to _link_skill_runtime_assets ONLY: the generic _link_or_copy stays untouched because runtime roots (browse/, design/) intentionally copy their dist/ binaries. On Unix the assets are symlinks into the working tree, and the prune is gated on the real-copy shape so it can never delete build output from the repo through a link — both directions pinned in test/setup-windows-rerun-refresh.test.ts with fixture trees. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(upgrade): migrations see the real install dir; stash can no longer resurrect stale renders Two ways the v1.67 render-dirt cleanup was inert in the wired upgrade flow: - Both migration runners invoked `bash "$migration"` without GSTACK_INSTALL_DIR, so migrations that clean the INSTALL (v1.67.0.0.sh defaults to ~/.claude/skills/gstack when unset) silently no-oped for repo-local installs. setup now passes "$SOURCE_GSTACK_DIR" and the /gstack-upgrade Step 4.75 runner passes the detected "$INSTALL_DIR". - /gstack-upgrade Step 4 ran `git stash` BEFORE reset+setup, so the tree was always clean by the time the migration ran, the legacy render dirt landed in stash@{0}, and Step 4's own note then told the user to `git stash pop` — restoring stale generated SKILL.md over the fresh checkout permanently. Step 4 now discards the render footprint (generated SKILL.md and sections/*.md modifications only, the same classification as migrations/v1.67.0.0.sh) BEFORE stashing, so the stash only ever carries real user changes; the stash-pop note says the render dirt was discarded and regenerates. The migration stays for manual git-pull flows. Template change regenerated for all 3 hosts (claude tree checked in; codex/factory trees are gitignored render outputs). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): stop --force-restart kills the live daemon directly instead of booting a fresh one `browse stop --force-restart` on a live-but-busy daemon fell through the stop short-circuit into ensureServer(), whose force-restart path kills the daemon and then STARTS A FRESH ONE (daemon + Chromium, multi-second churn) just so sendCommand('stop') can shut it down again — the #2254 churn in force clothing. gstack-upgrade's Step 4.8 sends users down exactly this path when a stale daemon is busy after an upgrade. The stop short-circuit now handles it: live pid + --force-restart → kill the daemon (tree-kill on Windows, TERM→KILL on POSIX), reap the orphaned Chromium + clear profile locks, remove the state file, exit 0 — no server is ever started. Pinned in stop-dead-daemon.test.ts: a wedged live "daemon" is killed, the state file stays gone (a booted daemon would have rewritten it), and no Starting/Restarting output appears. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hooks): timeline repair counts started vs completed per key instead of set-masking The dangling-event repair kept only the FIRST "started" entry per skill+session key and treated "completed" as a set, so any key where one run completed and another dangles was never repaired — and keys are not unique per run: legacy entries with no session field all share the bare-skill key, and the preamble's "$$-epoch" session ids collide within the same second. One old completion masked every future dangler forever. The hook now counts started vs completed per key and appends completions for the DIFFERENCE. Idempotency holds by construction: the appended completions balance the counts, so the next Stop appends nothing. Pinned with the two-runs-one-dangling case plus a re-run no-op assertion; all existing fail-open cases pass unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): Windows refresh bypass no longer deletes a user's own skill dirs The #2444 IS_WINDOWS refresh bypass (link_codex/factory/opencode/cursor _skill_dirs) rm -rf's the destination before re-copying — and the host skills dirs are SHARED namespaces, so the gstack* glob can land on a user's OWN real directory (e.g. ~/.cursor/skills/gstack-notes). Every ./setup re-run silently deleted it — the ownership guard the comments still claimed (#2142). The sidecar installers had the same shape against a hand-written skill squatting on the canonical .../skills/gstack root, and create_cursor_runtime_root wiped that root unconditionally on every platform. Same provenance model as bin/gstack-uninstall (#2563): - _owned_for_windows_refresh: a real dir is only replaced when its SKILL.md carries the AUTO-GENERATED banner; symlinks and missing targets always pass. Non-matching dirs are kept and listed to stderr. Wired into all four *_skill_dirs loops. - _sidecar_root_user_owned: a root whose SKILL.md exists WITHOUT the banner is the user's — create_agents_sidecar, create_cursor_sidecar, and create_cursor_runtime_root skip it entirely instead of writing into (or wiping) someone else's skill. A root with no SKILL.md stays presumed ours (the documented install location; old/partial installs look like that). Pinned by a static census (every bypass site must carry its gate) plus behavior fixtures: a bannerless user dir survives the Windows re-run while a bannered install still refreshes, and a squatted sidecar root is left untouched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(render): a failed brain-aware render can no longer vanish the installed skill set Both render sites (setup's gbrain step and gstack-config gbrain-refresh) ran `rm -rf` on the LIVE render dir BEFORE invoking gen:skill-docs:user. Installed skills symlink into that dir (relink prefers it), so one transient render failure — bun error, disk full, broken template — left every brain-aware skill's SKILL.md symlink dangling: the whole skill set vanished from Claude Code until a successful re-render. Both sites now render into "$RENDER_DIR.tmp.$$" and swap it in only on SUCCESS via a shared-contract _swap_in_render helper (mv old away, mv tmp in, drop old — links into the live path stay valid because the path never changes). The failure branch removes only the tmp dir and says so: the previous render, and every link into it, stays fully intact. The deliberate wipe on the gbrain-GONE path (stale render shadowing canonical files) is unchanged. Pinned in test/user-render-out-dir-install.test.ts: static shape (render targets the TMP dir, never the live dir), _swap_in_render driven behaviorally from BOTH files, and an end-to-end failure-branch fixture proving a pre-existing render plus an installed symlink survive a failed render. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test+docs: codex probe cache invalidation coverage, make-pdf --no-* structural pin, file the review-batch deferrals - test/codex-model-probe.test.ts: the 1h TTL and the auth.json half of the mtime signature had no coverage — a regression in either would silently serve a stale MODEL_OK after re-login or forever. Added TTL-expiry (backdated cache line re-probes) and auth.json-mtime invalidation cases, mirroring the existing config.toml case. - make-pdf/test/cli-args.test.ts: structural assertion derived from the commands.ts registry — every --no-* flag must be in BOOLEAN_FLAGS, so a new negation flag can't silently re-open #2514 (swallowing the next positional). - TODOS.md: filed five review-batch deferrals under the v1.67 queue with rationale and effort: setup host-function dedup, cmd.exe %VAR% quoting in gbrainInvocation (cross-spawn direction), make-pdf flag registry metadata (derive BOOLEAN_FLAGS), legacy codex/factory/kiro uninstall provenance gating (parity with the cursor gate), and cursor auto-detect breadth (product call). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): package.json version check accepts the decision-11 npm translation The bump wrote the npm-valid 3-digit manifest version for the first time this release; the old assertion demanded byte-equality with the 4-digit VERSION. Accept the translation plus the grandfathered pre-v1.67 mirror, matching gstack-version-bump's own drift contract. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: sync project documentation with the v1.67.0.0 fix wave Port range 10000-49151 + busy-vs-dead daemon semantics + XProtect launch heal + browse-daemon.log in BROWSER.md/ARCHITECTURE.md; #2557 dead security surface (shield, L4b Haiku, DeBERTa ensemble, canary injector) marked removed in README/ARCHITECTURE per CLAUDE.md's do-not-redocument note; runtime-asset installs + alias copies in CONTRIBUTING/CLAUDE.md; manual uninstall fixed for asset-bearing dirs, alias copies, cursor/opencode roots, and the timeline Stop hook; gbrain-refresh out-dir render path; npm-valid package.json version translation documented in CLAUDE.md; patches/ in the project tree; two CHANGELOG accuracy fixes (-272 net lines, upgrade-time quarantine-clear) + release-summary em-dash polish. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(browse): findAvailablePort comment matches the 49151 range cap Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ci-image): the dependency layer carries patches/ — bun install needs the patch files the lock declares bun.lock's patchedDependencies (playwright-core windowsHide) made 'bun install --frozen-lockfile' fail inside the image build: the Dockerfile copied package.json + bun.lock but not patches/. The image-tag hash in all three workflows (ci-image, evals, evals-periodic — kept in lockstep) now includes patches/** so editing a patch rebuilds the layer instead of serving a stale cache. Verified: the exact COPY set (package.json + bun.lock + patches) installs clean in a Linux container; without patches it reproduces the CI failure. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(codex-probe): cache signature uses GNU-first stat with numeric validation On GNU stat, -f means FILESYSTEM mode — the BSD-first form emitted a multi-line filesystem block on Linux, so the cache signature never matched its own cache line and the model-probe cache missed on every read (each preflight re-paid the probe). Same class and same fix as #2195: GNU -c %Y first, BSD -f %m fallback, non-numeric residue coerced to 0. Verified: the probe test file passes 7/7 under real GNU stat in a Linux container (it failed 2/7 on Linux CI before). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): first cross-platform run of the wave's tests — Linux tmp portability + Windows-lane truthfulness Four platform holes from the lanes' first full run over the v1.67 tests: - uninstall neutral-root fallback hardcoded /private/tmp (macOS-only) and ENOENT'd on Linux CI, where the shard TMPDIR is the gstack-containing path that forces the fallback — now realpath'd literal /tmp. - uninstall's kept-and-listed assertion demanded a backslash path on Windows while the bash uninstall prints POSIX paths — now separator-insensitive. - setup-rerun's IS_WINDOWS=0 sub-case and the iron rule's force-restart consent path are Unix-shaped by construction (Git Bash ln -snf copies without Developer Mode; the consent path boots a real replacement daemon the browserless Windows lane cannot host) — gated off win32 with the reasons in place; the Windows-relevant halves still run there. - codex-under-codex-detection drives rendered bash under a hardcoded POSIX PATH, so every case saw empty output on Windows — moved to KNOWN_WINDOWS_INCOMPATIBLE with the run receipt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ci-image): stage patches/ into the narrow build context in all three workflows The image builds from context .github/docker, into which a staging step copies package.json + bun.lock — the previous fix added COPY patches to the Dockerfile but not patches/ to that staging, so buildx failed computing the COPY checksum ('/patches: not found'). All three workflows (ci-image, evals, evals-periodic) stage identically, in lockstep with the shared tag hash. Verified: a build over the exact staged context resolves both COPY layers.

7 people	2be6c06ba8	v1.65.0.0 feat: fork port wave 2 — feature fixes, session persistence, Apple releases, supply-chain CI (#2577) ... * fix(memory-ingest): pass --include-gitignored to gbrain import gstack-artifacts-init writes an ignore-everything .gitignore (a bare `*`, headed "Do not edit") at the root of ~/.gstack. The memory ingest stages pages into ~/.gstack/.staging-ingest-<pid>-<ts>/, which is inside that repo, and gbrain's markdown collector honours .gitignore. The collector therefore matches every staged file against `*` and collects zero. The failure is silent. gbrain import exits 0 having imported nothing while the ingest prints `written: N` from the STAGED count rather than the imported count, so a run that indexes nothing looks identical to a healthy one and the memory corpus quietly stops growing. Reproduction, using git's own ignore machinery (no gbrain needed): git init . mkdir -p .staging-ingest-12345/learnings echo x > .staging-ingest-12345/learnings/page.md printf '*\n' > .gitignore git ls-files --others --exclude-standard # -> empty Passing --include-gitignored makes the import independent of whatever .gitignore sits above the staging directory. Adding a negation to the generated .gitignore is the alternative, but that file is gstack-owned and marked "Do not edit", so any regeneration silently reintroduces the bug. Adds a regression pin in the shape of memory-ingest-no-put_page.test.ts, plus a behavioural test for the collision itself. Both source pins fail against the unpatched file. * fix(memory-ingest): GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES defense-in-depth on the import child (#2144) Second layer under #2560's --include-gitignored: a realpath'd ceiling at the staging dir's parent pushes any git-enumerating collector off the git fast path (which sees zero files under ~/.gstack's ignore-everything root) onto its plain FS walk, even on gbrain builds whose flag semantics drift. Ceiling is realpath'd because git compares canonicalized directories during discovery — a staging dir reached through a symlink (macOS /var -> /private/var, symlinked $GSTACK_HOME) otherwise never matches. Behavioral tests prove discovery stops at the ceiling from the staging dir, including through a symlinked path, using git itself — no gbrain required. Mechanism ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2). Co-authored-by: Sina Matian <sina@time-attack.dev> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(autoplan): Phase 4 task aggregator emitted zero tasks on every run (#2018) The branch+commit jq filter piped to the split commit array and then referenced .commit — jq rebinds context across a pipe, so .commit indexed the ARRAY with a string, every input line errored into 2>/dev/null, and || true swallowed the exit. The aggregate table has been empty for every user since the feature shipped. Bind .commit to a variable before the pipe. Functional pin extracts the ACTUAL emitted jq program from the resolver and runs it against fixture JSONL (verified RED against the broken filter), plus a source-shape guard against reintroducing a context-rebinding reference. Fix mechanism from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2). Co-authored-by: Sina Matian <sina@time-attack.dev> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(codex): BSD mktemp templates broke /codex on every macOS install (#2091) macOS mktemp requires the X's to end the template; the five "codex-*-XXXXXX.txt" sites failed with "mkstemp failed ... File exists" before Codex ever ran (reproduced live on this machine). Same class fixed in claude/SKILL.md.tmpl's three sites. bin/gstack-paths now strips macOS's trailing slash from TMPDIR so TMP_ROOT-built paths stop carrying "//". Static tripwire scans every tracked .tmpl for characters after the X-run in a mktemp template (longer X-runs stay valid), plus a live portability check of the emitted shape. Co-authored-by: Sina Matian <sina@time-attack.dev> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(decision-log): --supersede silently discarded the replacement decision The supersede/redact branch appended the retirement event and exited before the JSON argument was ever read — a user recording a reversal WITH its replacement lost the replacement, and the payload finder's first-non-flag-arg predicate would have mistaken the target id for JSON anyway. Payloads are now identified by their leading brace, validated BEFORE any write, and appended FIRST (retirement second), so the only visible interleaving under a crash is both-active — recoverable, never lost. The replacement carries supersedes:<old-id> provenance. Bare --supersede <id> (the documented reversal-without-replacement) stays legal; --redact with a payload now refuses instead of dropping it. Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2), tests included. Co-authored-by: Sina Matian <sina@time-attack.dev> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(brain-context): cold-start probe latency permanently disabled gbrain context gbrainAvailable() spawned gbrain --version under a 500ms budget; a cold CLI start on a loaded machine blew the timeout, misclassified gbrain as missing, and every skill session silently ran brainless — plus the per-query re-probe burned 3x the budget before any real work. Replaced with a memoized stat-based PATH scan (PATHEXT-aware on Windows) and made the query timeout overridable via GSTACK_BRAIN_TIMEOUT_MS for loaded CI environments. Also picks up the fork's manifest-filter coverage (#1687 shape) against the fake-gbrain harness — passes against our existing filter support. Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2). Co-authored-by: Sina Matian <sina@time-attack.dev> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup-gbrain): voyage-code-3 flags were silently dropped under zsh (#1798) zsh does not word-split an unquoted $VAR, so all three PGLite-init sites passed the entire flag string as ONE argv word — gbrain ignored it and silently fell back to its default embedding model, downgrading code retrieval for every zsh user (macOS default shell). Flags now ride the positional params (set -- ...; "$@"). Tests run the shape under BOTH bash and zsh against the fake-gbrain argv recorder (per-word argc log distinguishes one-blob from split), include a demonstration of the zsh collision on the old shape, and pin the template's three sites statically. Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2). Co-authored-by: Sina Matian <sina@time-attack.dev> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(model-benchmark): recognize macOS Keychain auth in the claude adapter (#1890) The default macOS Claude Code install stores OAuth under the Keychain generic-password service "Claude Code-credentials" and never writes ~/.claude/.credentials.json, so available()'s file-or-env sniff reported "No Claude auth found" while claude -p worked fine. On darwin the sniff now also probes the Keychain entry — metadata only (no -w, the secret is never read), 5s timeout, any security(1) failure degrades to not-found. Verified live on this machine (subscription install, no creds file, Keychain entry present). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(upgrade): v1.27 migration no longer auto-proceeds without a TTY or records a failed rename as done (#1383) Two silent-failure shapes in one script. Non-interactive runs (Claude Code Bash tool, CI) blanket-auto-proceeded into a REMOTE repo rename — now they skip-for-now by default and ask again next upgrade; unattended runs opt in with GSTACK_MIGRATE_ASSUME_YES=1. And a failed gh rename was journaled as done and the done-touchfile written, permanently stranding a half-renamed install — the failed step now stays PENDING with the manual command printed, finalize refuses the done-marker while any step is unjournaled, and the migration exits 1 with a re-run pointer while completed steps still skip on retry. Harness updated to opt in explicitly; new tests pin the default-skip and failure-stays-pending-then-retry-succeeds contracts (13/13). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ship): REST fallback when gh pr edit hits the Projects-classic GraphQL deprecation (#1079) On repos where GitHub enforces the Projects-classic sunset, gh pr edit hard-errors on repository.pullRequest.projectCards and Step 19's PR body update dies. The template now names the error shape, says it is not an auth problem, and falls back to the REST endpoint (gh api pulls/N -X PATCH) with the SAME already-redaction-scanned temp file for body and title. Generated SKILL.md regen rides the cluster regen commit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ship): test-command detection was blind to Django and config-less-but-tested projects The Test Framework Bootstrap detected Python only via requirements.txt or pyproject.toml and treated missing config files as no-tests, so a green 'python manage.py test' Django app, a Go project with *_test.go beside the source, in-source Rust #[test] blocks, or a package.json with only a test script all got offered a SECOND test framework over a working one. Detection now enumerates definitive per-ecosystem markers (manage.py, tox.ini/setup.cfg, pom.xml/gradle, Makefile test targets, a tracked-file test census, in-source Rust tests) as EVIDENCE for the question it asks — never a command to run blind — preserving the read-CLAUDE.md-or-ask contract, with a marker→candidate-command table and ask-once persistence. The shared coverage-audit detection block gains the same markers. Test runs the resolver's emitted detection bash against Django / Go / Rust / Node fixtures in throwaway git repos. Ported from time-attack/gstack commit e3259078 (GStack 2). Co-authored-by: Sina Matian <sina@time-attack.dev> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for cluster A (autoplan jq, codex mktemp, setup-gbrain zsh, ship detection + REST fallback) Atomic regen of the 9 generated files whose templates/resolvers changed in the A-cluster commits. bun run gen:skill-docs, no hand edits. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: refresh ship goldens + parity ratios for cluster A growth Codex/Factory hosts render single-file ship skills whose committed goldens must track template changes; refreshed from the regenerated renders. Parity size guards bumped with the growth itemized — ship (carve-guards) 1.08 -> 1.10 for the detection-evidence + REST-fallback growth measured at 1.090x, qa (parity-harness monolith invariant) 1.07 -> 1.12 for the shared coverage-audit markers measured at 1.111x. Kept tight so the next growth is a deliberate decision, not drift; the Apple adapter raises ship again with its own justification. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gbrain-sync): enforce the per-repo policy at the code-import chokepoint (#2140 sync path) The deny/read-only tiers in ~/.gstack/gbrain-repo-policy.json were stored by gstack-gbrain-repo-policy but enforced only in /sync-gbrain skill prose — a direct or cron invocation of gstack-gbrain-sync ingested repo code regardless. Worse: the code stage's egress receipt has cited 'per-repo policy chokepoint (repoPolicyTier)' as its consent since v1.63 while no such function existed. repoPolicyTier() now gates the stage before the dry-run branch: deny → refused-policy-deny (exit 1, loud), read-only → clean skipped-policy-read-only (code ingest writes pages), unreadable store → fail-closed refused-policy-unreadable, no store → unchanged fail-open. Subprocess tests pin all four paths against real git repos and a permission-blocked store (verified RED against the ungated binary). The receipt's consent string is truthful from this commit. #2140's ingest-path source-isolation ask remains open — partial-progress comment at ship. Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2). Co-authored-by: Sina Matian <sina@time-attack.dev> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ios-qa): /auth/sessions no longer hands raw bearer tokens to any local process The loopback sessions list echoed live tokens — a harvest-and-replay primitive for anything on the machine (same class as the /health token leak fixed in v1.63). The list now returns a device-salted 16-hex token_id plus metadata; the salt is shared with the attempts log so identifiers correlate. /auth/revoke keeps the list→revoke workflow alive by accepting token_id alongside the caller's own raw token and identity. saltedHash() is exported from audit.ts and writeAttempt now reuses it (was inlined). Integration tests pin raw-token absence, the id shape/metadata, and the token_id revoke round-trip (verified RED against the leaking handler). List fix ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2); token_id revoke is ours. Co-authored-by: Sina Matian <sina@time-attack.dev> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ios-qa): boot token out of os_log entirely; IPv4 listener pinned to loopback at the socket The StateServer's bootstrap announce logged the live boot token with privacy: .public — and nothing consumed it: the daemon has read the token from the 0600 app-container file since the devicectl copy flow landed. The log line handed a credential to anything reading the unified log during the launch window. It now announces port/build only. The IPv4 listener bound the wildcard interface and relied on the per-connection peer check alone; IPv4 has no CoreDevice tunnel path, so it now binds 127.0.0.1 via requiredLocalEndpoint at the socket level. IPv6 keeps the wildcard bind for CoreDevice ULA peers by design. Static pins cover both the template and the fixture app copy. Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2). Co-authored-by: Sina Matian <sina@time-attack.dev> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(make-pdf): close the offline-gate bypass via raw-HTML fetch vectors With --allow-network off, the sanitizer stripped script/iframe/link but let Chromium fetch remote resources at print time through four raw-HTML vectors: <style> @import (any form), remote url() in <style> blocks and inline style attributes (incl. protocol-relative //), srcset with a remote candidate (Chromium prefers srcset over the inlined src), and remote src/poster on video/audio/source/track. All neutralized at the sanitizer; remote <img src> is deliberately left for the image inliner so its blocked-remote placeholder still fires, and url() mentions in prose/code spans stay untouched. Fork's test suite ported verbatim (12 cases incl. the end-to-end render assertion), verified RED against the old sanitizer. Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2). Co-authored-by: Sina Matian <sina@time-attack.dev> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(pair-agent): tunnel activation is consent-gated — and the receipt's consent claim is now real The tunnel egress receipts have claimed consent: 'pair_agent=on' since v1.63 while no such key or gate existed — ngrok installed+authed was enough for the CLI to auto-start an internet-facing tunnel. isPairAgentEnabled() (fail- closed, env-overridable) now gates all three activation points: CLI auto-start, POST /tunnel/start (refuses with the enable hint), and the BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 startup bind. Consent-on-first-use, not silent breakage: the /pair-agent skill asks once (one-way-door posture), sets pair_agent via gstack-config (registered with on|off validation, default off), and never asks again; direct API callers get the same hint in the refusal. Adapted from the fork's gate: their reader targeted config.json, which on main would have made the gate silently un-enableable — ours reads the canonical ~/.gstack/config.yaml with the JSON shape as fallback, pinned by tests either way (11 cases, gate wiring tripwires included). Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2), store adaptation ours. Co-authored-by: Sina Matian <sina@time-attack.dev> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: regenerate pair-agent SKILL.md for cluster B (consent gate) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): cancel the parent watchdog when handoff promotes a daemon to headed The parent-process watchdog assumes connection mode is fixed at boot: headless daemons outlive their parent, headed ones do not. The env guards (BROWSE_PARENT_PID=0, BROWSE_HEADED=1) only cover daemons that were headed when they started. handoff breaks that assumption. It swaps in a headed context on a RUNNING daemon and sets connectionMode = 'headed' without a restart, so a daemon that legitimately registered a watchdog lands on the fatal side of the branch. The parent is usually a short-lived shell, and Claude Code's Bash tool kills one after every invocation, so the next 15s poll shuts the daemon down. The user-visible effect is that handoff destroys the thing it just created. It exists so a human can log in, solve a CAPTCHA, or clear an MFA prompt; the browser disappears about fifteen seconds later and takes the session with it. Observed while driving two registrar control panels: five daemon deaths and three logins, each one discarding the authenticated session. BrowserManager now exposes onHeadedPromotion, fired only on runtime promotion and not on a headed boot, and the server binds it to a canceller for the interval it already owned but previously discarded. Bound on both the module-level manager and any embedder-supplied one, since the watchdog reads activeBrowserManager and binding only the default would let embedders promote silently. The binding sits next to the browserManager declaration rather than next to clearParentWatchdog. Placing it with the function, which lives with the watchdog it cancels, reads better but touches browserManager in its temporal dead zone, which aborts module evaluation and leaves every later const uninitialized. findport tests catch that immediately. Tests: watchdog.test.ts already noted in its header that its three cases all fix mode via env at spawn time, so none reaches the headed branch. Driving a real handoff needs a headed Chromium, so the wiring is pinned with static tripwires instead, matching cdp-session-cleanup.test.ts and server-auth.test.ts. Verified they fail when the notification call is removed and pass when restored. Full `bun test` shows the same 6 pre-existing failures on this branch and on main (gstack-gbrain-detect, gstack-artifacts-init), which pass in isolation on both, so they are test-order pollution rather than a regression here. * fix(browse): pass windowsHide so the daemon stops popping console windows On Windows, `browse` leaves empty black console windows on top of whatever the user is doing — they pop up every few minutes for as long as any browser skill is alive, and outlive the process that created them. Cause: `bun-polyfill.cjs` maps `Bun.spawn`/`Bun.spawnSync` onto node's `child_process`, and node defaults `windowsHide` to **false**. Bun never creates these windows, so nothing in the daemon's own code looks wrong — the behaviour only appears on the node fallback path. The one users notice is `spawnTerminalAgent()`, which launches `bun run terminal-agent.ts` through this shim. The daemon respawns it on a watchdog, so closing the window is not enough — a new one arrives shortly after. Ten `bun.exe` processes were live on the machine this was diagnosed on. Why they linger after the child exits: with the default terminal application set to "Let Windows decide", the console is brokered through Windows Terminal via svchost, and WT leaves the empty frame behind when its only child exits. The frame has no child process at all, which is why it looks like a dead terminal. Setting `windowsHide: true` on both wrappers fixes every console child routed through the shim — the bun agent plus the `tasklist`, `git` and `powershell` calls elsewhere in the daemon. No behaviour change on macOS or Linux, where the option is ignored. Not covered by this commit: `chromium.launch()` goes through playwright's own process launcher rather than this shim, so it still creates one window per daemon start. Worth a follow-up. * test(browse): make bun-polyfill tests runnable on Windows, and cover windowsHide `bun test browse/test/bun-polyfill.test.ts` was **0 pass / 4 fail on Windows** before this — every test in the file, on the platform the polyfill exists to support. Each test interpolates the polyfill's absolute path into a single-quoted JS string passed to `node -e`. On Windows that path has backslashes, so JS eats them as escapes: 'C:\Users\jwilk\dev\gstack-fork\browse\src\bun-polyfill.cjs' -> C:Usersjwilkdevgstack-forkrowsesrcun-polyfill.cjs (`\b` is a real escape, so it deletes a character too.) `require()` throws, the subprocess dies, stdout is empty, and every assertion compares against "". The tests pass on macOS and Linux purely because those paths have no backslashes. Fixed by interpolating with `JSON.stringify(polyfillPath)`, which quotes and escapes correctly on all platforms. Also adds a regression test for the windowsHide fix in the previous commit. It stubs `child_process.spawn`/`spawnSync` *before* the polyfill destructures them and asserts the captured options, so it is deterministic and needs no window — it verifies the contract on macOS and Linux too, where the option is a no-op. Verified on Windows: 5 pass / 0 fail with the fix, and the new test alone fails ("VISIBLE" instead of "HIDDEN") when the previous commit is reverted. * fix(browse): forward windowsHide through the Bun polyfill spawn shims The Node fallback shim accepts a Bun.spawn options object and forwards only stdio, env and cwd to child_process.spawn. windowsHide is dropped, and because Node defaults it to false while Bun.spawn hides the console window, the omission inverts the behavior on the one platform the shim exists to support. Symptom: the terminal-agent respawn in server.ts (60s watchdog ticker) pops a visible bun.exe console window on Windows every time it fires, so the window keeps coming back with no scheduled task or startup entry behind it. stdio:'ignore' silences the child's output but does not suppress its window. Both shims now forward the option and default it to true, matching the Bun API being emulated; an explicit windowsHide:false still passes through. spawnTerminalAgent also sets it explicitly at the call site. Tests: three cases in browse/test/bun-polyfill.test.ts assert the default for spawn and spawnSync and that an explicit false is honored. Each was confirmed to fail against the unpatched shim. Drive-by, required to run the suite at all on Windows: the tests interpolated an absolute path into a JS string literal, so backslashes were consumed as escapes and every require() failed with MODULE_NOT_FOUND. The path is now normalized to forward slashes. On Windows this file went from 0/4 passing to 7/7. * fix(browse): headed mode on macOS 26 — stop mutating the signed Chromium bundle, heal the ones we already broke (#2242, #2138, #2139) The in-place rebrand rewrote the Chrome-for-Testing bundle's Info.plist (global name replace — which also renamed CFBundleExecutable to a binary that doesn't exist) and overwrote its Resources/*.icns, breaking the codesign seal: GPU process exit_code=5, headed mode dead on macOS 26. The mutation lived in the SHARED Playwright cache, so it also poisoned the user's other Playwright projects. Three layers land together: (1) the rebrand block is gone — branding lives in the GStack Browser.app wrapper via GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH, with a tombstone and a static tripwire (no plist/icns writes into the bundle; the tripwire allows the read-only probe below); (2) a launch-time self-heal detects an already-poisoned cache bundle, removes it, and errors with the exact re-fetch command — covering deploy paths that never run migrations; (3) migration v1.64.0.0 sweeps every cached bundle, removes poisoned ones, and re-fetches clean Chromium immediately (migrations run after ./setup, so without the re-fetch an upgrade would end with zero working browser). Functionally verified against fixture caches: poisoned removed, clean untouched, rerun no-op. Migration filename tracks the final VERSION at ship. The #2242 watchdog half is the absorbed PR #2565 (thanks @Screddyice). Tombstone/tripwire ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2); self-heal and migration are ours.

The CLI's fetch reset, which its crash path reasonably interpreted as a dead daemon: it relaunched Chromium, re-sent stop, watched the daemon exit again, and errored 'Server crashed twice in a row'. Every stop cost a wasted Chromium launch and a nonzero exit. The ack now returns first; shutdown fires on a 25ms unref'd timer. Same fix for restart. Fork's test pins ack-before-teardown for both.

Now only EEXIST is contention: ENOENT self-heals with one mkdirSecure retry, everything else throws ServerLockError carrying the real errno, and the stale-lock unlink/retry loop is depth-capped so it can't livelock.

Covered: the node -e launcher (outer spawnSync AND the inner detached daemon spawn inside the launcher string), the dev-mode bun fallback, killServer's taskkill, isProcessAlive's tasklist, and cookie-import's powershell + tasklist. The Bun-polyfill shims were covered by absorbed PRs #2523 + #2539 (thanks @jwilk-hrep, @jerrynicholsai); this closes the sites those PRs didn't reach. The icacls sites land with the #1605 DACL commit alongside the static tripwire that pins all of them.

The icacls calls carry windowsHide (#1835's last two sites) and the fork's static spawn-hide tripwire lands here, pinning every covered site. file-permissions.test.ts is already in the windows-free-tests curated shard, so the DACL contract executes on windows-latest.

Declining yields manual steps and a blocked-on-user mark; nothing new is ever installed to close the gap. New resolver token {{THIRD_PARTY_ACTIONS}} (adapted from the fork's contract — their Aside-browser detection swapped for our own driver stack; MIT portions noted).

The repo copy leaves the private store, so it passes the redaction scan-at-sink first (HIGH blocks the repo copy, MEDIUM confirms per finding), and any failure — read-only checkout, non-git dir, unconfirmed finding — degrades to the private copy with a one-line reason, never blocking the handoff. The doc itself is now a decision record, not a transcript: one bullet per decision with its why, ruled-out approaches collapsed to a single line with the rejection reason, settled/empty template sections omitted. No page cap; extra length must come from genuinely open questions. Plan reviews (ceo/eng/devex + the shared review resolver) prefer the repo-local doc (DESIGN.md, then newest docs/designs/*.md) when it's at least as fresh as the private copy — a stale old repo doc never shadows a newer session.

The offer now closes with a standing choice; opting out runs gstack-config set founder_resources false (new key, default true, true|false validated), the write is VERIFIED before any promise (a failed write says so and skips this session only), and every future session skips the entire section silently — no resources, no 'skipped as requested' mention.

The adapter carries 21 live releases' worth of paid-for Apple knowledge: the web session mints the permanent upload key itself (iris POST /v1/apiKeys; privateKey is base64-of-PEM, downloadable only at creation) so nobody ever types an app-specific password; error -22938 is Transporter asking for a key, not a user task; errors are CLASSIFIED before credentials are touched (validation/UnexpectedResponse = metadata, incl. Apple's expanded age-rating attributes); pricing goes through POST /v1/appPriceSchedules because fastlane's price_tier is broken against the current API; and store distribution NEVER routes through the branch gate — a clean tree on main is the solo shipper's normal case (Step 0.9 loads the adapter BEFORE the gate, pinned by test with the non-Apple gate byte-unchanged and unique). Uploads/submissions follow an idempotency-log contract (inspect App Store Connect before any re-run). Non-Mac hosts get the honest split: build legs via a macOS CI runner with the minted key as a secret, API legs local. Browser use inside the journey is banned except the named paid-app banking/tax residue. Redaction dry-run clean.

Verified live on this repo: suggest fires at 1,233 files with real availability detail per provider. Hardened per review: the per-remote trust store is the SINGLE consent authority — a gstack-gbrain-repo-policy deny tier vetoes any recorded code-intelligence consent (fail-closed on an unreadable store, pinned by three tests); both send-capable adapters are registered as fail-closed MODULE_SINKS in the egress tripwire so a refactor can't drop their receipts; and local-compute vs remote-send consents are never bundled. setup-gbrain gains the provider-choice Step 0.

Live-verified both directions: PEM key fails, clean diff and MEDIUM shapes pass; ShellCheck (errors) covers the setup/build shell boundary and passes today; bun audit gates critical advisories.

OSV scans weekly with a reasoned ignore file. All new workflow actions SHA-pinned. Scorecard deliberately not taken (no consumer for the score). The PR template front-loads the evidence bar (live proof, liveness screenshot, no-ETHOS/voice-changes checklist); the unenforced DCO line is dropped. bin/gstack-verify-gate ships OPT-IN (never registered by ./setup — a Stop hook running the project's verify command after every turn is the user's call), with the fork's tests adapted to pin exactly that.

Sed survives only as a jq-less fallback. - telemetry-log rejects non-integer durations BEFORE the range caps, whose test(1) comparisons silently no-op on non-numerics — a malformed duration spliced raw text into the JSONL stream. - browse's local telemetry honors the persistent tier (config.yaml telemetry: off), not just the preamble's env hint — direct $B use and embedders now respect the opt-out. - gstack-context-bill --exact sees GSTACK_-promoted keys inside Conductor (conductor-env-shim wired at the CLI entry), and the TOTAL line no longer double-counts every nested skill through the root skill's walk (v1.63 deferred polish; the telemetry-sync HTTP-status outcome deferred alongside it turned out already shipped). - setup's Chromium probe is deadline-bounded (90s, background + poll-kill — macOS has no GNU timeout) and prefers Node for the launch probe everywhere (the bun --eval hang family behind #2136); the install is single-flight behind a lock dir with an actionable stale-lock message. Probe verified live on this Mac. - the review resolver's dev-server check reads CLAUDE.md and the plan file before falling back to an expanded port probe, and says how to make itself smarter next time. - eval/harness model IDs resolve through lib/eval-model.ts (GSTACK_EVAL_MODEL[_KIND] env overrides, per-kind defaults, tested) at the SDK-capture and PTY-warmup sites; the bash-embedded distill snippet mirrors the resolution inline. - memory-ingest's silent-zero shape (staged>0, imported+unchanged==0, errors==0) warns even under --quiet — a run that indexes nothing must never look healthy again.

The same silent-coverage-hole class as the tracked design/test P2 — and it meant B2's auth regression tests would never have gated.

ONE directive adapted into the preamble resolver; the fork's full judgment contract is deliberately not imported.

Style-attr values are now entity-decoded in one browser- faithful pass, escape-bearing at-rules and function tokens are dropped fail-closed, and output is re-encoded double-quoted. 21 new test rows. * fix(migrations): v1.65 Chromium re-fetch actually re-downloads, and success is verified before .done The migration (renamed from the provisional v1.64.0.0 slot, which open PR #2564 claims) deleted only the poisoned .app while Playwright's INSTALLATION_COMPLETE marker survived in the revision dir — so the advertised 'bunx playwright install chromium' re-fetch no-opped and the user finished the upgrade with no browser and a success message. Now: the whole chromium-<rev> dir goes, bunx runs cwd-pinned to the install root, .done is gated on a verified executable, and a needs-refetch sentinel makes re-runs retry a failed download. Stranded rev dirs (markers without .app) also re-trigger. 6 hermetic tests, red-first. * fix(migrations): v1.27 remediation prints a real command instead of a fictional flag Every skip/failure path referenced '/setup-gbrain --rerun-migration', which is implemented nowhere, and promised the migration 'will ask again next upgrade', which the version-window runners make false. All five sites now print the direct GSTACK_MIGRATE_ASSUME_YES=1 bash invocation. Runner-side re-offer tracking is filed in TODOS. * fix(browse): poisoned-bundle self-heal removes the revision dir, probes handoff too, and throws typed Same marker flaw as the migration: rmSync of the .app alone left INSTALLATION_COMPLETE behind, so the error message's own remediation no-opped and the user was hard-stuck. The probe is now an exported, unit-tested helper (probePoisonedChromiumBundle) that removes the whole chromium-<rev> dir, never touches GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH custom bundles, throws PoisonedBundleError (instanceof, not string-match), and runs on BOTH headed entry points — launchHeaded and handoff. 7 tests. * fix(browse): session snapshots are atomic and the cookie filter drops loopback IP literals A crash mid-write destroyed the previous good snapshot — the exact scenario persistence exists to survive; writes now go tmp+rename. The internal-network cookie filter gains 127.*/::1/169.254.* (a tampered state file could previously hand loopback-service cookies back to the browser), and 'state load' imports the shared filter instead of maintaining a comment-synced copy. Test cleanup made exception-safe. * fix(browse): server runtime — restore off the boot path, shutdown that cannot hang, watchdog that still reaps tunnels Four review findings on the wave's own new wiring: session restore ran before Bun.serve with sequential 15s gotos while the CLI gives up at 8s (one slow saved URL bricked every $B command) — restore now runs in the background after bind; the shutdown snapshot gets a 2s deadline so a wedged page.evaluate can't hold the port forever behind the new ack-first stop; the persistence ticker gets in-flight + shutdown gates and is cleared before the final snapshot; and the absorbed #2565 handoff fix no longer clears the whole parent watchdog — a suppress flag keeps the tunnel-orphan reaper alive (handoff→resume→tunnel is no longer an unreapable internet-exposed daemon). pair-agent with consent off now names the real remedy instead of ngrok install instructions. Lock-acquisition edge branches (garbage pidfile, vanish-race depth cap) pinned. * fix(browse): telemetry defaults to off like every other surface The persistent tier defaulted ON when the config key was absent, while gstack-config's DEFAULTS table answers 'off' for the same question — preamble-spawned daemons and direct $B daemons disagreed about consent. Absent key/file now means disabled; community/anonymous enable; env kill-switch still beats everything. Both config.yaml consumers now share one readGstackConfigYamlKey reader. 12-case consent suite. * fix(code-intelligence): consent that means what it says — polarity, receipts, read-only veto Four review findings on the wave's own Phase 1 port, all red-first: 'consent <repo> no' recorded consent GRANTED (the CLI ignored the argument and always wrote true) — yes|no is now required and garbage records nothing; Sourcebot egress receipts claimed consented=true on paths that never checked consent — the actual consent state is threaded into every receipt, search is fail-closed on non-loopback, and the liveness probe's receipt says truthfully that it sends no repo content; repoPolicyVeto only honored the deny tier while gbrain refresh writes pages — write-class ops now veto on read-only too, matching the sync chokepoint, via one shared lib/gbrain-repo-policy-client.ts (win32 bash invocation, spawn-vs-unreadable error distinction) used by both call sites. Also: source ids get a host+path hash (same-name repos no longer collide), refresh timeout raised to 120s, availability probes run concurrently at 3s, graphify status stops JSON.parsing 100MB graphs for a count, and every ported file carries the fork MIT notice. +15 tests across the two suites. * fix(verify-gate): trust before eval, re-check on re-entry, audit every grant The opt-in Stop hook eval'd whatever command the first CLAUDE.md up the tree declared — any cloned repo got arbitrary shell at turn end. Now a per-repo trust store (path+command hash, 0600) gates execution: an untrusted or changed command never runs (exit 0 with the --trust invocation printed), stop_hook_active re-entry re-runs the trusted check instead of rubber-stamping (bounded at 3 blocks per episode), and every grant appends a forensic line to ~/.gstack/security/verify-gate-trust-grants.jsonl. 20 tests, red-first. * fix(setup): EXIT traps chain instead of clobbering; timed-out probes reap their whole tree The Playwright-lock trap replaced the copied-bun cleanup trap and then cleared ALL exit handling, leaking .tmp-bun-bin on every Chromium install; and _wait_with_deadline killed only the subshell, orphaning the wedged node→Chromium tree it exists to escape — re-creating the #2136 pile-up on every timed-out re-run. Traps now chain; timeouts walk pgrep -P descendants leaves-first. * refactor(resolvers): one source for the design-doc discovery block The #703 repo-doc-preference bash was pasted byte-identically into three plan-review templates and a fourth copy embedded in review.ts — drift there means plan reviews disagree about which design doc wins. Now a {{DESIGN_DOC_DISCOVERY}} resolver; generated output is byte-identical, so no SKILL.md changes ride along. * fix(ship): finish the Apple upload idempotency sentence The durable-effect contract dropped its consequence clause mid-sentence — the instruction for what to DO when the idempotency key already exists (treat the upload as possibly-done, never re-run it) was missing from the one rule governing whether a binary uploads twice. * fix(ci): SHA-pin dependency-review; the secret gate fails closed without a report dependency-review.yml rode mutable refs (@v4 resolves to a BRANCH on that repo) inside the one workflow whose job is supply-chain hygiene — now commit-pinned like its siblings, with dependabot keeping the pins fresh. gate-secret-scan.mjs crashed with an unhandled EPIPE on oversize diffs (the designed report.oversize branch was unreachable: the scanner emits no JSON on refusal) — the pipe write now tolerates early exit and a missing report is an explicit fail-closed exit 1. Oversize + broken-scanner legs pinned. * fix(bins): Windows-safe GIT_CEILING join; next-version probes the full default-base chain GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES was joined with ':' — git on Windows splits on ';' and drive letters contain ':', silently disabling the #2144 second-layer defense there; now path.delimiter. next-version's default-base detection only tried origin/HEAD then 'main', diverging from the canonical 4-step chain diff-scope uses — origin/main and origin/master probes added, pinned by fixture repos. * fix(eval-model): kinds are a literal union, not string Record<string,string> widened EvalModelKind to string, so a typo'd kind only failed at runtime; as const satisfies keeps the closed set the doc comment promises. * test: coverage backfill from the ship review The telemetry-strip invariant only validated the sed FALLBACK while the live jq path went unchecked — the jq del() lists are now held to the same every-emitted-field bar, plus a behavioral pipe-through. The context-bill nested-skill double-count fix gets a regression pin (a revert shipped green before). The windowsHide tripwire gains terminal-agent-control.ts — the exact file the fix commit names. The ios-qa revoke-by-token_id branch gets its negative case: unknown ids revoke nothing and leave live sessions alone. * docs: SLATE_HOST no longer cites the deleted platform-detect bin Host detection lives in the hosts/ registry via host-config-export.ts; the doc's known-gaps list now says so instead of pointing at a bin this branch removed. * test(e2e): headroom for the two plan-ceo-review budget-edge tests Both rode their 360s runner budget at the edge (main clears at 243s of 360s), and the wave legitimately adds work to the review: the evidence directive tells the agent to probe before claiming, and the design-doc discovery block adds bash steps. Under concurrent in-file children the API queuing tipped all retry attempts past the ceiling — the runner then reports $0.00/0 turns for a timed-out child, which reads like a dead spawn but is a healthy child killed at the deadline. 540s runner / 660s test for these two only; verified 2/2 green at 228s and 315s. * fix(code-intelligence): gbrain search/export are consent-gated and receipted The Sourcebot side got this in the last round; gbrain had the same hole — search() and export() sent repo-derived query text into a possibly-remote DATABASE_URL with no consent check and no egress receipt, bypassing the deny-tier veto. Both now assert consent before any bytes move, receipts record the actual consent state (never a hardcoded true), and search receipts carry the query's sha256. gbrain stays fail-closed: the adapter cannot see where DATABASE_URL points, so every send requires consent. 7 new tests, red-first. * fix(make-pdf): SVG remote refs and image-set can no longer fetch offline <svg><image href=https://…> and <use xlink:href=…> survived the gate (only javascript: schemes were stripped from svg hrefs), and bare-string image-set("https://…" 1x) dodged the url()-shaped neutralizer. Remote svg hrefs rewrite to '#' (entity-decode-aware, unclosed-svg smuggle closed) and remote image-set args neutralize to url(#). Local fragments, local image-set, and plain <a> links pinned intact. 12 new rows, red-first. * fix(browse): duplicate config keys read last-wins, matching gstack-config readGstackConfigYamlKey took the FIRST match while gstack-config's get takes the LAST — a duplicated pair_agent or telemetry line made the two consent surfaces disagree about what the user chose. * fix(setup): stale Chromium-install lock self-heals The mkdir mutex had no owner: a SIGKILL'd setup left the lock behind and every later run exited with manual rmdir instructions. The holder pid is recorded in the lock; a dead holder is reclaimed automatically. * fix(setup-gbrain): the code-intelligence offer gate skips when the bin is absent The new Step 1.7 told the agent to run gstack-code-intelligence before the path pick — on installs predating the CLI (and hermetic E2E children) the bin doesn't exist and setup derailed before doing any setup. The gate now probes for the bin and reports offer:false reason:bin-absent, with explicit instructions to proceed: the user asked for gbrain, so set up gbrain. Never block setup on an optional gate. * test(e2e): periodic-tier repairs from the failure triage Each fix traces to a receipt: brain-privacy-gate staged config never reached the hermetic child (ambient GSTACK_HOME is scrubbed) and the operator's remote-mode gbrain suppressed the gate — both now injected per-test; ship-idempotency threw away its evidence on the timeout path and ran a 600s budget its own subject can exceed (now 900s, evidence captured); auto-decide-preserved gets the same headroom its sibling plan-ceo tests got; context-skills' hides-checks scanned bash output where an ls legitimately names old checkpoints (final-text scope now); design names the missing section instead of a bare count and learns the easing/duration/micro-interaction synonyms; qa-workflow's collector afterAll gets an explicit 60s hook timeout. * fix(eval-harness): eng-review phase boundary fires on qid-tagged questions The Step 0 boundary only matched two prose phrases, but plan-eng-review may legitimately reach the review phase without either — every per-finding AskUserQuestion then counted as pre-review and the batching regression test read 0 questions while watching the agent ask them one by one. The boundary now also fires on the first answered question carrying a gstack-qid:eng-review- marker. Additive only; 119 runner unit tests green. * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.65.0.0) Fork port wave 2: the release-summary entry credits Sina Matian (time-attack/gstack) and the four absorbed community PRs. TODOS gains three review-round follow-ups (dual-write E2E, migration runner re-offer, gbrain-adapter op coverage). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(eval-harness): eng-review qid boundary matches the real skill-name prefix Live qids render as gstack-qid:plan-eng-review-<slug> ({skill}-{slug} convention); the boundary anchored eng-review- immediately after the colon and never matched, leaving the batching counter blind while the transcript showed per-finding questions being asked one by one. * fix(setup-gbrain): never ask the provider question inside /setup-gbrain Invoking /setup-gbrain IS the provider choice. Step 1.7 now records 'select gbrain' best-effort and proceeds straight to setup; the offer ceremony is reserved for entry points where no provider was named. On machines where the code-intelligence CLI exists, the offer:true path was hijacking setup into the provider ceremony and the E2E child never reached MCP registration. * chore: file the three documented-red periodic tests as structural-repair TODOs Sidebar trio exercises endpoints removed on every tree; ship-idempotency's PTY child never receives its typed command; brain-privacy-gate has never been green anywhere. Each carries its triage receipt in the entry. * test(e2e): setup-gbrain remote — hermetic env via opts, evidence on failure, output-scoped classifier Three separate defects stacked on this one test: the ambient GBRAIN_MCP_TOKEN/GSTACK_HOME/PATH mutations never reached the child (hermetic-env scrubs them by allowlist — broken since hermetic env landed; the child correctly stopped at Step 4c with NEEDS_CONTEXT), failures discarded the in-memory transcript so every triage started blind, and the wrote-findings-before-asking classifier scanned the full event stream where the child's own Read of the skill file always contains the review-report phrase. Env now goes via opts.env, failures dump bash commands + final text, and the classifier scans assistant output only. Green in 67s with all seven asserts. * test: final coverage pass — CLI rendering, revert traps, keychain probe, gbrain doc ops The user-directed third generation pass closes the audit's remaining tail: the code-intelligence CLI's options/status/suggest surfaces get behavioral coverage through the fake-shim chain; brain-context-load gains an argv-logging trap that goes red if anyone reverts the memoized PATH scan back to the spawn probe (receipt: simulated revert failed exactly these tests); the darwin Keychain auth branch (#1890) gets its first free-tier tests via a PATH-shimmed security binary; and the gbrain add/delete/export ops are pinned (body piped byte-for-byte, receipt sha256, stdin-EOF prompt guard, PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE degradation) — retiring their TODOS entry. * test: assemble the planted PEM at runtime so the fixture never trips the prepush guard The repo's own credential guard scans pushed diffs and correctly blocked these fixtures: the engine flags any one-line BEGIN…END spelling regardless of body. Header, body, and footer are now joined at runtime, so the file and every diff of it stay clean while the scanner under test still receives the true live shape. * docs: update project documentation for v1.65.0.0 README gains the two wave-2 CLIs (gstack-code-intelligence, gstack-verify-gate) in the standalone-binaries table, BROWSER.md documents BROWSE_PERSIST_STATE next to manual state save/load, CONTRIBUTING's CI section lists the new supply-chain gates, and CLAUDE.md's project tree reflects lib/code-intelligence/ and the added workflows. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: apply cross-model doc-review fixes for v1.65.0.0 Findings from the release doc review, verified against source: verify-gate's README row gains the actual install one-liner (setup never registers the Stop hook; test/verify-gate.test.ts pins that) and the 3-blocked-re-entries yield behavior; code-intelligence's row gains the suggest subcommand and the search-side consent gate; CONTRIBUTING scopes the SHA-pin claim to the supply-chain workflows and widens the dependency-review trigger; BROWSER.md's restore-time cookie drop list matches isInternalCookieDomain; CLAUDE.md's workflows comment stops implying six workflows are all of them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: CHANGELOG accuracy pass — scope the SHA-pin claim, restore-time cookie filter, exact test counts * test: env restore runs per-test, not per-suite — the leak that failed 30 strangers gstack-memory-helpers saved HOME/GSTACK_HOME/PATH in beforeEach but restored in afterAll, so the last beforeEach's snapshot won and a gstack-test-engine temp dir leaked into every later file in the same process: gstack-config read the wrong store, make-pdf's child resolved Chromium under the temp cache, update-check and artifacts-init lost their real homes. afterAll is now afterEach; the config and update-check harnesses also strip GSTACK_HOME/GSTACK_STATE_ROOT from child env as a belt. * fix(browse): restore the #1846 start-timeout resolution the merge dropped The v1.64.1.0 merge kept this branch's lock design in cli.ts and silently lost main's resolveStartTimeout + late health re-check while their test survived — ported both back in alongside the kept design. * test: adapt main's diagnostics tests to the merged designs cli-lock asserts typed ServerLockError (errno + lock path) instead of the log-and-return shape the merge didn't keep, dropping only the one duplicate of server-lock-errors coverage; the liveness tripwire exempts error-handling.ts as the sanctioned tasklist site; snapshot and compare-board wrappers pass the now-mandatory browser-manager arg; background.js's test pins that the retired sidebar-command type is rejected pre-gate with no response fields. * chore: gitignore the gen-accessors tool's SPM build output skill-e2e-ios-swift-build compiles the Swift package in place, leaving .build/ (2,800+ files) and Package.resolved untracked after every periodic run — the workspace read as ~100 dirty changes with a clean tree. Same class as the dist/ binaries: build output, never committed. * test(browse): subprocess budget for the polyfill suite on Windows CI Every test here spawnSync's a node child; cold-start on the Windows runner (AV scan, first node.exe touch) blew bun's 5s default by 7ms on a 50ms sleep test. File-level 20s default — subprocess budget, not assertion looseness. * test: make the Darwin migration path and the query-timeout SKIP deterministic on Linux CI The v1.65 migration suite relied on the host being macOS — on the ubicloud runner the script's uname gate early-exited every test with empty output; a Darwin uname shim in the shared setup runs the real path everywhere (the non-Darwin test still overrides it with Linux). The 1ms-budget brain-context test assumed 1ms is always too short; the runner's fake gbrain answered in 0ms and no SKIP printed — the fake now sleeps 300ms so the timeout is a certainty, while --version stays instant for the detection assertion. --------- Co-authored-by: Gawie van Blerk <gawievanblerk@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Sina Matian <sina@time-attack.dev> Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Shawn Reddy <19191746+Screddyice@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Jake Wilk <jwilk@highlinerepartners.com> Co-authored-by: Jerry Nichols <jerrynicholsai@users.noreply.github.com>	2026-08-15 11:42:19 -07:00
+111 people	64f9aafa1e	v1.44.1.0 fix wave: post-windhoek paper-cut — 9 community PRs in one bundle (#1682) ... * fix(office-hours): #1671 — session writer was writing to the legacy file User-visible symptom: returning /office-hours users get the same closing pitch every visit, no matter how many times they've run the skill. The welcome_back tier (which exists specifically to skip the pitch for returning users) was unreachable. Live since 2026-04-18 / v1.0.0.0 on every fresh-$HOME user. Root cause: the v1.0.0.0 migration moved the read path to ~/.gstack/developer-profile.json but left the writer in office-hours/SKILL.md.tmpl writing to the legacy ~/.gstack/builder-profile.jsonl. Reader and writer disagreed on storage, so SESSION_COUNT never incremented and /office-hours always treated the user as a first-timer. Fix: - bin/gstack-developer-profile: new --log-session subcommand that read-modify-writes developer-profile.json's sessions[] array (atomic mktemp+mv, signals/resources/topics aggregation, gbrain-enqueue mirror of gstack-timeline-log:40). Naming matches the gstack-*-log family verb. - bin/gstack-developer-profile: do_read filters mode:"resources" entries when picking LAST_PROJECT/LAST_ASSIGNMENT/LAST_DESIGN_TITLE so the Phase 6 resources auto-append doesn't clobber real-session state. Latent bug that was masked by the broken writer; activated by the fix. - office-hours/SKILL.md.tmpl: lines 490 + 893 swap echo >> for --log-session. - test/gstack-developer-profile.test.ts: +8 tests covering --log-session contract (regression, aggregation, dedup, validation, ts handling) plus the mode-filter regression. All 8 fail on main, all 8 pass with this fix. - test/static-no-legacy-writes.test.ts: new static-grep invariant walking every skill dir to prevent future regressions onto the legacy file. Affected users: stranded builder-profile.jsonl entries are not recovered automatically by this PR. On their next /office-hours run, the first new session lands in welcome_back; past data stays in the legacy file (still readable by other tools during deprecation). Most pre-existing users have only a handful of stranded sessions. See docs/designs/FIX_1671_PROFILE_MIGRATION.md for scope decisions (RC2/RC3 follow-ups, what was intentionally left out, and why). Issue: #1671 * test(office-hours): refine #1671 invariant regex comment for literal-path scope Clarifies that the WRITE_PATTERN regex catches literal-path writes only; variable-indirected writes (FILE=...; echo >> "$FILE") are not detected. The SKILL.md.tmpl assertions in the same suite pin the exact #1671 regression class directly; this regex is a backstop, not a flow analyzer. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(timeline): pass read filters as data * feat(next-version): support monorepo VERSION paths via --version-path + .gstack/version-path The workspace-aware ship queue hardcoded the VERSION file at the repo root. In monorepos where versioning is subproject-scoped (one app inside a larger repo), every PR's VERSION lookup 404s, the queue silently empties, and parallel /ship sessions all bump from "current main + 1" — producing a cascade of slot collisions. Repro: tinas-second-brain repo. Root VERSION is absent; the real VERSION lives at "Tinas Second Brain/health-tracker/VERSION". In one day, four sequential collisions: 0.4.0.1 -> 0.5.0.0 -> 0.5.0.1 -> 0.5.0.2 -> 0.5.0.3. Fix: add a --version-path flag and a repo-local .gstack/version-path config file. Resolution priority: CLI flag > .gstack/version-path > "VERSION". The resolved path threads through all four call sites — git show origin/<base>:<path>, the GitHub Contents API, the GitLab files API, and the local sibling-worktree scan — and shows up in the JSON output as version_path so /ship and operators can see what got picked. The previous warning "could not fetch VERSION (fork or private)" was misleading whenever the real cause was wrong path. The new wording names the path that 404'd and hints at the two knobs. Backward-compatible: no flag, no config, no change in behavior. Tests: 6 unit tests for resolveVersionPath (priority, parsing, blank / missing / empty edge cases) + a second integration smoke that drives --version-path end-to-end and asserts it surfaces in JSON output. * fix(investigate): support standalone freeze hook path * fix(browse): clarify localhost bind failures * fix(migration): defer v1.40.0.0 done-marker until every repair succeeds (#1581) The v1.40.0.0 migration unconditionally `touch`ed its done-marker, even when the jq-gated `.brain-privacy-map.json` patch was skipped because jq was missing on the user's machine. On subsequent runs, the script short-circuited on the marker so the privacy-map repair never landed. Federation sync then silently dropped `/plan-eng-review` test plans. Track every failure mode via a single `incomplete` flag: jq missing, malformed JSON, jq mutation failure, tempfile creation failure, `mv` failure, allowlist append failure, gitattributes append failure. The marker is written only when `incomplete=0`, so the migration runner retries on the next /gstack-upgrade once the prerequisites are met. * test(migration): unit tests for v1.40.0.0 deferred done-marker fix (#1581) 8 cases pinning the fix: - Case 1 (happy path): jq present, fresh privacy-map → all three files patched, marker written. - Case 2 (regression for #1581): jq missing, privacy-map present → marker must NOT be written. Fails against the buggy script, passes against the fix. - Case 3 (recovery): jq missing, then jq restored → patch lands on second run. - Case 4 (idempotency): privacy-map already has correct entry → no mutation, marker written. - Case 5 (fresh-init): privacy-map file absent → allowlist + gitattrs patched, marker written. - Case 6 (malformed JSON): broken privacy-map JSON → no marker, no mutation. - Case 7 (jq mutation failure): fake jq returning 1 → no marker, tempfile cleaned up. - Case 8 (allowlist append failure): read-only allowlist → no marker. Tests use spawnSync('bash', [MIGRATION], …) with isolated tmpHomes. "jq missing" sets PATH to a curated dir of symlinks to standard utils, omitting jq; "jq mutation fails" uses an `exit 1` shim. Avoids blanket-clearing PATH (which would hide bash/grep/etc). * fix(brain-sync): make artifact sync work on Windows (discover-new + drain) Automatic artifact sync was fully non-functional on Windows (Git Bash): --discover-new enqueued nothing and the --once drain staged nothing, so artifacts_sync_mode looked active but no artifacts ever reached the repo. Three independent Windows-only causes in bin/gstack-brain-sync: 1. discover-new matched os.path.relpath (backslash separators on Windows) against the forward-slash allowlist globs, so no nested file ever matched. Normalized the relpath to "/". 2. discover-new enqueued via subprocess.run([gstack-brain-enqueue, rel]), but Windows Python cannot exec a bash-shebang script, so nothing was enqueued even once matched. Now appends to the queue in-process. 3. compute_paths_to_stage ends in print(p); Windows Python emits CRLF, the bash `read -r` keeps the trailing CR, and `git add -- "path<CR>"` matches nothing under `2>/dev/null || true`. Now strips the CR before staging. The in-process enqueue mirrors gstack-brain-enqueue's contract: one atomic O_APPEND write per record (each line < PIPE_BUF) so a parallel writer-shim append can't interleave mid-record, and the discover cursor advances only after the write succeeds, so a failed write retries instead of silently recording the file as synced. Skip-list entries are separator-normalized on both the discover and drain (compute_paths_to_stage) sides, so a backslash .brain-skip.txt entry can't be honored at discovery yet bypassed at commit. Adds test/brain-sync-windows-paths.test.ts (static invariants -- behavioral spawn tests cannot run on the Windows lane, since Node/Bun cannot exec the bin/ shebang scripts there) and wires it into windows-free-tests.yml. Verified red->green and end-to-end on Windows 11 / Git Bash; macOS/Linux behavior unchanged (os.sep is already "/", no CRLF, compute path logic unchanged besides the shared skip normalization). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: detect bun.lock (Bun v1.2+ text lockfile) in diff-scope CONFIG gstack-diff-scope only matched the legacy binary lockfile `bun.lockb` but not the newer text-based `bun.lock` introduced in Bun v1.2+. Projects using current Bun versions were silently missing the SCOPE_CONFIG signal when only the lockfile changed. 🤖 Generated with [Qoder][https://qoder.com] * fix(ios-qa): resolve CoreDevice tunnel via devicectl + keep tunnel alive The daemon's tunnel bootstrap used `dns.resolve6` to look up `<device>.coredevice.local`, which fails with ESERVFAIL on macOS 26.x (Darwin 25.x) because Node's resolve6 path goes through libresolv and does NOT consult mDNSResponder. `dns.lookup` (getaddrinfo) does. Even when resolution works, CoreDevice in Xcode 26 only holds the USB tunnel up while a devicectl command is in-flight, so the IPv6 ULA becomes unroutable within ~10-15s of idle and subsequent proxy requests time out. Two-part fix: 1. Resolution order is now (a) `xcrun devicectl device info details --json-output` to read `result.connectionProperties.tunnelIPAddress` directly, (b) mDNS via `dns.lookup`, (c) legacy `dns.resolve6` as a last-ditch fallback. 2. After a successful bootstrap the daemon spawns a periodic `devicectl device info details` (~5s) to keep the tunnel session alive. Cleaned up on SIGINT/SIGTERM/exit. Adds tests for `getDeviceTunnelIPv6FromDevicectl`, the `resolveTunnelIPv6` fallback chain, and `startTunnelKeepalive`. Existing bootstrap tests updated to include the new `device info details` spawn step. Tested against: iPhone 12 Pro on iOS 26.x via Mac Mini M-series running macOS Sequoia 15.x / Darwin 25.3.0. * chore(release): v1.44.1.0 — 9-PR community fix wave (post-windhoek paper-cut) Bump VERSION + CHANGELOG entry.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.7	e4041f7a7f	v1.11.0.0 feat(ship): workspace-aware version allocation (#1168) ... * feat: bin/gstack-next-version util + workspace_root config key Host-aware (GitHub + GitLab + unknown) VERSION allocator. Queries the open PR queue, fetches each PR's VERSION at head, scans configurable Conductor sibling worktrees for WIP work, and picks the next free slot at the requested bump level. Pure reader, never writes files. /ship consumes the JSON and decides. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: fixture tests for gstack-next-version 21 pure-function tests covering parseVersion / bumpVersion / cmpVersion / pickNextSlot (with 8 collision scenarios) / markActiveSiblings (4 cases) plus one CLI smoke test against the live repo. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(scripts): detect-bump + compare-pr-version helpers Shared between /ship (legacy path) and the CI version-gate job. detect-bump: derive bump level from VERSION diff. compare-pr-version: CI gate logic with three exit paths (pass / block / fail-open). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(ci): version-gate + pr-title-sync workflows (GitHub + GitLab) Merge-time collision gate. Fail-open on util errors (network, auth, bug), fail-closed on confirmed collisions. pr-title-sync rewrites the PR title when VERSION changes on push, only for titles that already carry the v<X.Y.Z.W> prefix (custom titles left alone). GitLab CI mirrors both jobs for host parity.

Prompts user to rebump when queue moved, runs the full ship metadata path (VERSION, package.json, CHANGELOG header, PR title) on the rebump so nothing goes stale. ship Step 19: PR title format v<X.Y.Z.W> <type>: <summary> — version ALWAYS first.

The exclude filter removes that self-reference. New --exclude-pr <N> flag on bin/gstack-next-version. CI workflows pass github.event.pull_request.number / CI_MERGE_REQUEST_IID. Local /ship auto-detects via gh pr view when the flag isn't passed, with a warning recording the auto-exclusion so it's observable. Caught during the first live ship through the v1.8.0.0 gate — the kind of dogfood the whole release is designed for. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into garrytan/workspace-aware-ship Rebumped v1.8.0.0 -> v1.11.0.0 (minor-past main's v1.10.1.0) using bin/gstack-next-version — the same queue-aware path this branch introduces. CHANGELOG repositioned so v1.11.0.0 sits above main's new entries (v1.10.1.0 / v1.10.0.0 / v1.9.0.0). Conflicts resolved: - VERSION, package.json: rebumped to v1.11.0.0 (util-picked) - bin/gstack-config: merged both lists (workspace_root + gbrain keys) - CHANGELOG.md: hoisted v1.11.0.0 entry above main's new entries Pre-existing failures in main (4) documented but not fixed in this PR: 1. gstack-brain-sync secret scan > blocks bearer-json (brain-sync tests) 2. no files larger than 2MB (security-bench fixture, already TODO'd) 3. selectTests > skill-specific change (touchfiles scoping) 4. Opus 4.7 overlay pacing directive (expectation stale after v1.10.1.0 removed the Fan out nudge) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * ci: re-trigger PR workflows after merge --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-23 23:03:27 -07:00
