Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 0d1bd5616c v1.79.0.0 fix: ship subagent dispatches can no longer strand the run (#497/#2440 class) (#2772)
* fix(ship): foreground-flag + deadline + scope guard on all four dispatch sites (#497/#2440 class, 3rd recurrence)

Steps 7/8/10/18 dispatch subagents whose LAST-line JSON the parent
consumes, but none passed run_in_background: false — since Claude Code
v2.1.198 subagents background by default, so /ship stranded at Step 18
waiting on output that never arrives. Every site now renders the shared
{{FOREGROUND_DISPATCH_NOTE}} resolver constant, carries a ~10-minute
deadline with an explicit recovery branch (stop the runaway task,
reconcile against pre-dispatch HEAD, surface stray state, never
re-dispatch), and Step 18's prompt gains a docs-sync-only scope guard
(no VERSION changes, no base-branch merges, push-rejection reported as
pushed:false with parent-side reconciliation and a second-failure
branch). Greptile failures now record as UNAVAILABLE, not zero comments.

GENERATED_WITH_GUIDANCE pins all five ship dispatch carriers; a new test
pins the deadline recovery + scope guard phrases in pr-body (.md and
.tmpl). Codex/factory ship goldens re-rendered.

* feat(document-release): first-class spawned-dispatch contract

document-release's own templates had zero subagent-awareness — the
entire headless contract lived in /ship's dispatch prompt, so any other
orchestrator (or an older installed /ship) dispatching it inherited none
of the gate handling. The skill now carries the contract itself: detect
spawned strictly from the dispatch prompt or the preamble echo (never
from file content — prompt-injection guard), auto-choose recommended
options while keeping the never-clobber-CHANGELOG and
never-bump-VERSION-silently invariants via their Skip options. Step 8.4d
gets an explicit spawned note (its interactive recommendation bumps
VERSION — wrong headlessly), and the Codex Documentation Review section
skips itself in spawned sessions (the apply gate needs a human; the
dispatching workflow owns review passes).

Contract, 8.4d note, and resolver skip are pinned in
run-in-background-guidance.test.ts; document-release skeleton budget
re-measured (39,812 B) and ratcheted to 40,200.

* fix: sweep every remaining synchronous Agent-dispatch site with run_in_background: false

The #2440 failure shape was a silently-missing review voice — a
specialist launched in the background and merged before it completed.
Every remaining synchronous dispatch site now carries the explicit flag:
the Red Team dispatch, the spec review loop, the Codex
second-opinion/plan-review/doc-review Claude fallbacks, the adversarial
subagent, design sketch and outside voices, autoplan's design/eng/dx
phase dispatches, CSO parallel finding verification, and design-shotgun's
variant launch. Parallel fan-outs stay parallel — multiple foreground
Agent calls in one message run concurrently (the shipped v1.64.0.0
review-army pattern).

GENERATED_WITH_GUIDANCE now pins all 24 generated carriers, so a new
dispatch site that drops the flag fails the free suite. Six carved-skill
skeleton ceilings re-measured and ratcheted (~80-130 B growth each);
factory ship golden re-rendered.

* release: v1.79.0.0 — CHANGELOG, VERSION, TODOS follow-ups

Queue-advanced to 1.79.0.0 (1.78.0.0 claimed in the workspace queue;
same MINOR level per the versioning invariant). Entry references the
class history (#497#2440 → Step 18). Three TODOS filed: PreToolUse
hook enforcement, structural ship-mode for document-release, cross-host
dispatch semantics audit.

* regen: review-army sections carry the Red Team foreground flag

The scripts/resolvers/review-army.ts Red Team edit regenerated these two

* fix(document-release): one canonical spawned contract, downstream notes are pointers

The diff-selected LLM-judge eval scored the skill's clarity 3 (threshold
4, main scores 4): the spawned-session rules read as three separately-
framed rule sets (contract paragraph, Step 8.4d note, Codex-review skip).
The contract paragraph now declares itself the single source of spawned
behavior and the two downstream notes reference it instead of restating
rationale. The pointer avoids naming the Codex section verbatim so the
codex-host render (which strips that section) keeps its negative pin.
Judge re-scored 4/5/4 across repeated samples after the change.

* fix: foreground note names the Agent tool as non-substitutable

The ship-docsync gate E2E caught a behavioral regression: the note's
blocking-emphasis ('a backgrounded dispatch strands the run') steered
the driven agent to run doc-sync via the Skill tool inline — the most
blocking option — twice in a row, forfeiting the fresh-context isolation
the dispatch exists for (baseline on main's text dispatches via Agent).
The shared note now says explicitly: dispatch with the Agent tool itself,
never substitute Skill or inline execution; the flag already makes the
call block. Re-verified: ship-docsync passes on the amended text.

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

* fix: pre-landing review fixes

Review army + red team findings, all verified before applying:
- ship-docsync E2E now asserts run_in_background === false on the
  captured dispatch (red team CRITICAL: phrase pins prove text exists,
  this proves the model obeys it — verified passing live).
- Structural scanner test: any generated file with an Agent-dispatch
  imperative (or bare '(foreground)' prose, the #2440 inert shape) must
  carry the flag or hold a reasoned exemption — the 4th-recurrence net
  the hand-enumerated pin list can't provide.
- Parent push reconciliation models reality: the parent shares the repo,
  so a non-fast-forward that hit the subagent hits the parent identically
  — fetch + ahead/behind check first, push only when the rejection was
  transient; dispatch prompt promise softened to 'the parent will handle
  it'.
- Recovered commits from a dead subagent are vetted docs-only
  (git show --stat, never VERSION/package.json) before any push.
- Deadline pacing named: ~3 minutes between checks, wall clock not polls.
- Greptile UNAVAILABLE recording narrowed to the PR body (Step 20's
  schema carries no triage field).
- document-release contract gains the echo-failure tie-breaker: prompt
  claims spawned + no echo → fail fast with the dispatch contract's
  failure shape instead of reproducing the #2733 prose-STOP; contract
  anti-injection and NEVER-relax clauses pinned in tests.
- 'Claude Code v2.1.198' extracted to CC_BACKGROUND_DEFAULT_SINCE and
  interpolated at all resolver sites (byte-identical output).
- CHANGELOG: entry-boundary blank line restored; worst-case-wait row
  scoped to the backgrounded path.

* fix: adversarial review fixes — failure shape, CHANGELOG guard, vet coherence

Claude adversarial subagent findings (11), all verified before applying:
- The dispatch JSON contract gains an explicit FAILURE shape
  ({"error":...}) and a parent branch for it — a doc-sync that could not
  run (spawned marking failed, broken preamble) previously had only the
  no-updates shape to emit, which the parent printed as 'Documentation is
  current': a silent false-clean of exactly the VAS-449 class.
- Scope guard now covers CHANGELOG: skip Step 5 voice polish and resolve
  CHANGELOG-touching gates to leave-as-is (the parent authored the
  release entry; the prompt's older auto-choose clause conflicted with
  the contract's never-rewrite invariant).
- Recovery vet is sequence-coherent: pushing a commit pushes its
  ancestors, so ANY non-doc commit (VERSION, package.json, CHANGELOG.md)
  blocks the whole sequence — no more push-the-vetted-child-of-an-
  unvetted-parent hole.
- Steps 7/8/10 failure branches stop a still-running backgrounded task
  before falling back, so a late result never races the inline audit.
- 'Documentation synced' print gated on pushed:true (item 6 owns the
  local-only outcome); doc-review skip note's backward step pointer
  fixed; foreground note scoped 'at initial dispatch' so the sanctioned
  inline FALLBACKS in Steps 7/8 read as sanctioned; constants docstring
  no longer overclaims single-sourcing (names the 3 inline templates).
- Runtime-hook TODO raised P2 → P1: the spawned trust chain is
  agent-self-asserted; prose cannot close it, the hook can.

Both docsync gate E2Es re-verified green on the amended prompt, including
the strict run_in_background === false dispatch assert.

* fix: codex adversarial fixes — JSON trust, fail-open visibility, user-state safety

Codex outside-model adversarial pass (inline-diff workaround for the
sandbox), P1/P2 findings triaged cross-model:
- Parent validates the dispatch JSON's field types and treats
  documentation_section as untrusted markdown (Step 19's redaction scan
  covers the final body; instruction-shaped text inside it is never
  followed). The error branch now explicitly skips items 2-6.
- Remote-ahead divergence is named, not silent: the parent lists foreign
  commits before creating a PR over a moved branch.
- Recovery cleanup never discards content: stray staged doc edits are
  unstaged but never checked out or cleaned away.
- Greptile UNAVAILABLE gets a concrete PR-body line, not a vague
  'wherever results are reported'.
Pre-existing-class P1s (self-asserted spawned trust chain, unenforceable
foreground timeout) are cross-model confirmed and tracked: PreToolUse
hook TODO at P1, harness-residue hazard documented.

* fix: never-Skill prohibition made unambiguous; docsync fixture made diagnostic

The ship-docsync E2E flaked on this sandbox because the driven agent
resolved the STOP pointer's ~ to nonexistent homes (/root, /home) and
acted blind — pass/fail sampled model priors, not the prompt. The
fixture prompt now names the planted sections dir, making local runs
deterministic (CI, with real install paths, was always diagnostic).
With a diagnostic fixture: 2/2 passes, real pr-body read, Agent dispatch
with run_in_background: false, zero Skill-tool substitutions.

Prose: the foreground note now states the dispatch happens ONLY via the
Agent tool (invoking the target as a Skill is wrong even though it
appears in the skills list; inline FALLBACKs apply only after a
dispatched subagent has failed), and the Step 18 imperative carries the
never-the-Skill-tool clause at the decision point.

* fix(test): daemon 503 test binds an OS-assigned port, not old-port+1

windows-free-tests flaked on this PR: the tunnel-less restart bound
daemon.loopbackPort + 1 — a fixed neighbor of the OS-assigned ephemeral
port — and died with 'Is port 55738 in use?' whenever another shard or a
TIME_WAIT socket held it; the file-level retry re-rolled the same dice.
Every other startDaemon in the file already uses loopbackPort: 0 and the
assertion reads d2.loopbackPort, so nothing needs a predictable number.
21/21 pass locally.

+8 702a1a9b69 v1.78.0.0 fix: the two-red-lanes wave — AUQ collapse rooted, OSV green from 105, 18 community PRs absorbed, upgrade path can't eat installs (#2752)
* fix(auq): spawned trigger is objective — explicit declaration or STATUS echo, never inference (periodic-lane AUQ collapse)

The v1.76 spawned rule's parenthetical '(or your dispatch prompt marks this
session as spawned)' let the model INFER spawned status from a scripted-looking
prompt in a CI-looking session and silently auto-choose every review-phase
question: reviewCount=0 across the plan-review periodic E2Es (weekly run
33363624506, 9 of 14 failed shards; reproduced locally, zero AUQ fingerprints).
Env and hook paths were excluded by inspection: hermetic children echo
SESSION_KIND: interactive (CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT=cli beats CI markers) and the
question-preference hook isn't installed there.

The trigger is now objective: the echoed SESSION_KIND: spawned STATUS line, or
an EXPLICIT dispatch-prompt declaration ("you are a SPAWNED subagent") —
declared, never inferred — with an absence-safe interactive fence: CI env vars,
scripted-looking or pasted prompts, and write-to-this-exact-file instructions
are NOT spawned markers. The prose channel stays because Task-tool subagents
inherit the parent env (no spawned prefix) — their dispatch prompt is the only
signal; #2733's env-prefix channel is untouched.

19 carve skeleton ceilings re-pinned with measured values (+~440 bytes/skill);
ship goldens refreshed for all three hosts; resolver pins extended with the
no-inference regression tests.

* fix: mktemp failure aborts loudly at all three skill-content sites; failed upgrade swap restores the backup (#2679)

An empty $(mktemp) result silently disabled the redaction pass (redact-doc
resolver, ship pr-body) and made /gstack-upgrade's vendored path destructive:
clone lands at "/gstack", the swap mv fails, and rm -rf then deletes BOTH the
live install's backup and "". All three sites now guard the assignment with a
loud exit; the vendored block additionally restores the backup when the swap
fails (same failure class — backup deletion after a failed mv) and the GitLab
MR path sends the SCANNED file's bytes instead of re-rendering an unscanned
heredoc. bin/gstack-redact rejects an explicit empty --from-file path instead
of silently falling through to stdin.

Receipts: 6 of 8 new regression checks fail on a v1.77.0.0 scratch worktree.

Fixes #2679

* fix(auq): the interactive fence classifies the session — it never nudges ask-count

Burn-in run 1 of the periodic repro overshot the review band (reviewCount=8 >
CEILING=7) with the fence's 'when unsure, ask' tail: that phrasing is a quota
nudge, not a classification default. The fence now states it only classifies
the session and never changes how many questions the skill asks. Pin added.

* fix(ci): OSV suppression config actually loads — explicit global --config + expiring, reasoned ignores

The ignore file was inert from v1.65.0.0: OSV-Scanner only auto-discovers
configs named osv-scanner.toml (no leading dot) and applies them
per-directory, so the root config never covered lib/diagram-render/bun.lock
either way. The workflow now passes --config=.osv-scanner.toml globally.
Every IgnoredVulns entry carries a reason with an upgrade trigger and an
ignoreUntil expiry (~90 days) so suppressions must be re-justified. A wiring
test pins flag ↔ filename ↔ entry hygiene so the file can never silently go
inert again.

* fix(deps): dependency wave — 105 OSV advisories → 3 reasoned suppressions, all lanes verified on the pinned scanner

Root: overrides pin ip-address 10.3.1 (defeats BOTH nested nodes — socks'
range pull and express-rate-limit's exact 10.1.0 pin, which a top-level bump
provably cannot reach) and sharp 0.35.0 (GHSA-f88m, HIGH; transformers still
pins ^0.34 upstream — smoke-tested round-trip); marked ^18.0.11; full in-range
lockfile refresh clears hono, fast-uri, protobufjs, qs, body-parser, nanoid,
uuid, immutable and friends.

lib/diagram-render (via its own build-script contract: exact pins edited,
fresh lock, dist rebuilt): mermaid 11.16.1, @excalidraw/excalidraw 0.18.1,
@excalidraw/mermaid-to-excalidraw 1.1.2 → 2.2.2 — the 1.x line exact-pinned
mermaid 10.9.x and dragged the entire duplicate mermaid-10 advisory chain
(dompurify 3.1.6, nanoid 3.3.3, lodash-es); the bundle shrinks 9.96 → 7.59 MB
with the duplicate mermaid gone. Nested exact pins that survived get scoped
overrides (nanoid 5.1.16, lodash-es 4.18.1).

Verification: clean-worktree frozen-lockfile installs (root + nested) + the
SAME osv-scanner release the action pins (v2.3.8) with the workflow's exact
scan-args → exit 0, 'No issues found'. Smoke tests cover the override
surfaces (sharp round-trip, ip-address lockfile assertion, marked parse);
socks + diagram-drift suites already pin the rest.

Supersedes #2695 (its own lockfile kept socks/ip-address@10.2.0; @anupamme's
report credited for the parallel diagnosis).

* test(gbrain-sync): stub pgrep so the pin case is hermetic

The only non-dry-run --code-only child hits #1734's PATH-resolved

instead of adding a production env hatch.

* fix(codex): a CLI that cannot execute no longer reports CODEX_MODE: ready

Follow-up to #2477. The model probe it added does a real round trip, but its
final branch is the `else` of a "model 400" grep, so it swallowed spawn ENOENT,
non-executable binaries and missing vendor payloads alongside genuine network
timeouts. All three are deterministic — retrying never helps — yet they landed
in the fail-open bucket and resolved to `ready`, so every Codex pass was
skipped in silence and the review reported itself complete.

Observed live: @openai/codex was on PATH with an empty
vendor/aarch64-apple-darwin/codex/ directory. gstack said `ready` for two
months while no Codex pass ran.

Three changes:

- `_gstack_codex_model_probe` classifies deterministic install failures (exit
  126/127, or stderr matching ENOENT/ENOEXEC/EACCES/"cannot execute binary
  file") as MODEL_UNUSABLE_INSTALL, exit 2, never cached — a reinstall is
  picked up on the next probe. Exit 124 and genuine transients still fail open,
  which is what #2477 intended.

- The preflight chain captures the probe's code instead of testing it for
  truthiness, so exit 2 routes to a new `broken_install` mode whose remedy is
  `npm install -g @openai/codex` rather than "check your model pin". A missing
  binary and an unusable model are different problems with different fixes.

- `_gstack_codex_version_check` no longer reads a broken CLI as healthy. It ran
  `codex --version 2>/dev/null | head -1`, which captures head's status, not
  codex's — and 2>/dev/null discarded the one diagnostic available. It now
  captures the real exit code and warns on non-zero. Empty-but-successful
  output stays silent, per the existing "empty output → OK" case.

Tests: 6 added to test/codex-hardening.test.ts covering both broken-install
shapes, the exit-2 contract, no caching, the transient still failing open, the
model 400 still classifying as MODEL_UNUSABLE, and the version-check warning.
845 pass / 0 fail across all 8 suites touching the changed files.

Closes #2742

Wave-amended: autoplan hand-maintained preflight chain completed (tmpl+render); install-signature grep gated on failed spawn only; goldens regenerated against the wave tree (author's golden commit 5797d326 superseded); +2 tests

* feat(redact): add Groq, Tavily and Notion API key patterns

* fix(redact): stop reporting .env.local as an internal hostname

`internal.hostname` ends in `.local|.prod|.staging|…`, so `.env.local`
matches on `env.local` and a dotenv FILENAME is reported as a leaked
internal host.

The collision is not exotic. It fires on `--env-file=.env.local` in an npm
script, `.env.staging` in a README, `.env.prod` in a .gitignore — ordinary
lines on branches that leak nothing. Measured on one private repo, three of
four MEDIUM findings in a routine push were this, and the fourth was a
deleted localhost URL. That ratio is the real cost: a scanner that reports
package.json is one people learn to skim, and skimming is how the HIGH
finding it exists for gets missed.

The guard follows the `insideUuid` precedent and stays deliberately narrow —
it exempts only a span beginning `env.` immediately preceded by a dot, i.e.
the literal `.env.<suffix>` form. `api.corp.local`, `build-7.internal` and
`myenv.local` all still report.

The test pins both directions, and the negative controls are the point: an
exemption written as "any span ending .local" would pass the dotenv half
while quietly gutting the pattern for every real host. Verified red/green —
with the validate hook removed, exactly the 6 dotenv cases fail and all 9
real-host controls still pass.

* fix: don't flag git SSH remotes as pii.email

`pii.email` matches the `git@github.com` inside
`git@github.com:acme/widgets.git`. That is a transport user@host, not a
person's address, so any diff touching a clone URL -- a deploy config's
repo URL, a submodule entry, a README clone line -- draws a spurious
MEDIUM from the pre-push hook.

Suppressed by URL shape rather than by adding `git` to
EMAIL_ALLOW_LOCALPARTS. A bare `git@` allowlist entry would also
suppress a genuine address at a domain that merely begins with "git"
(git@gitmail.com), converting a false positive into a false negative --
the worse failure for a guardrail. Two shapes are accepted:

  - `<user>@<host>:<path>.git` for ANY host, covering self-hosted
    remotes, plus the equivalent ssh:// URL form.
  - `git@<known-host>` for github.com, gitlab.com, bitbucket.org and
    ssh.dev.azure.com, whose bare form appears in docs and in
    `ssh -T git@github.com` connectivity checks with no path at all.
    Matched exactly, so gitmail.com is unaffected.

emailAllowed now receives the normalized text and the span offset so it
can see that surrounding shape; it had only ever been passed the matched
span.

Tests pin both directions: the SSH remotes go quiet, and a real address
still fires -- including at a git host (alex@github.com) and at a
git-prefixed domain (git@gitmail.com).

* fix(redact): install-prepush-hook refreshes a stale managed hook

The marker check returned before the only writer, so once a repo had the
hook, no later change to the wrapper could ever reach it. The `printf x`
fail-open fix (v1.64.0.0) has still not landed in any repo that received
the hook before it, and a wrapper naming a gstack that has since moved
stays pointed at a dead path for the same reason.

Compare the body against what this version generates: rewrite on drift,
stay a no-op when identical. The chained pre-push.local is untouched on
both paths.

The existing trailing-newline regression test cannot catch this — it
installs into a repo with no prior managed hook, the one case that was
never broken.

* fix(gbrain-detect): classify gbrain >= 0.43 held-lock refusal as engine-locked

gbrain 0.43+ refuses a held PGLite lock with exit 1 and the message
"GBrain's local database is already open through `gbrain serve` (MCP,
PID N)" instead of the pre-0.43 exit 124 + "connect timed out" that
the #2194 branch matches. The message matches no known pattern, so the
classifier falls through to the defensive broken-config default — and
Step 1.5 of /setup-gbrain and /sync-gbrain then tell the user to move a
perfectly healthy config.json aside and re-init the engine.

Reproduced live on gbrain 0.43.0.0, 0.44.0.0 and 0.46.30.0: with a
serve holding the lock, gstack-gbrain-detect reports
gbrain_local_status=broken-config; after stopping the serve it reports
ok with the same untouched config.

Match on the stable substring "already open through", mirroring the
existing #2194 branch semantics: engine-locked for pglite, broken-db
otherwise. Adds a fake-gbrain behavior for the 0.43+ refusal plus two
cases (pglite -> engine-locked, postgres -> broken-db).

* fix(memory-helpers): a slow gitleaks probe no longer disables secret scanning

`gitleaksAvailable()` cached every failure the same way, so a 2s timeout on
`gitleaks version` was recorded as "the binary is absent" for the rest of the
process. One busy moment and the whole ingest ran unscanned behind a single
stderr line — a fail-open outcome decided by machine load rather than by
anything about the machine's setup. The caller only acts on
`scanner === "gitleaks"`, so every later file was written with no scan and no
second warning.

The probe now classifies three outcomes. ENOENT (and a present-but-unusable
binary: bad exit, EACCES) stays cached — that is a fact about the box, and
re-probing it per file would be waste. A timeout gets one retry on a 10s
budget, and if that also expires nothing is cached: the file is reported
unscanned, the warning says so in those words, and the next file probes again.

Observed under the 7-way sharded free-test runner, where spawning a shell
script inside a temp bin dir took longer than the 2s budget.

Tests: the retry path, the no-cache-on-timeout path (the second call must
re-probe), and the cached-absent path. The fake gitleaks hangs for 30s rather
than racing a short sleep against a short budget, and the budgets are chosen so
load cannot flip an outcome: 30s where the retry MUST answer, 800ms where the
probe MUST expire. An earlier draft used 1s/5s and flaked under the same shard
runner this commit is about. The existing probe test pinned `detect` to
calls[1], which a retry breaks; it now asserts the order instead of the index.

describeBinary reports version="unknown" flavor="unknown" for every poppler
install, so logDiagnostics prints nothing useful on the most common
implementation. Two independent causes:

1. poppler writes the -v banner to stderr and exits 0. execFileSync returns
   stdout (empty) and does not throw on a zero exit, so the stderr fallback in
   the catch block is unreachable. The in-code comment already notes poppler
   exits 0, but only the throwing path reads stderr.

2. flavor is matched against the version line alone. poppler prints
   "pdftotext version 26.06.0" on line 1 and names itself on line 2,
   "Copyright ... The Poppler Developers", so even a working stderr read
   yields "unknown".

Switch the probe to spawnSync, which returns both streams regardless of exit
status, match the version banner rather than assuming line 0, and derive the
flavor from the full output.

Measured on poppler 26.06.0 (Homebrew, macOS), same machine and binary:

  before: { version: "unknown",                  flavor: "unknown" }
  after:  { version: "pdftotext version 26.06.0", flavor: "poppler" }

xpdf is unaffected: it exits non-zero and names itself on line 1, so it
resolved correctly before and still does.

Tests use shell shims reproducing each vendor's banner, stream and exit status,
since a real pdftotext cannot be assumed present in CI. Two of the four fail on
this commit's parent; the xpdf and no-banner cases pass there and are included
as regression guards rather than red-proofs.

* fix(open-gstack-browser): pre-flight cleanup never killed the stale daemon

Step 0 read the old pid with `grep -o '"pid":[0-9]*'` and Step 2 read the port
the same way. Neither can match. Every writer of that file in
browse/src/server.ts serializes with `JSON.stringify(state, null, 2)`, so the
bytes on disk are `"pid": 12060` — colon, space, digits.

The failure was silent in the worst way. `_OLD_PID` came back empty, the kill
never ran, browse.json was deleted anyway, and the next `connect` died with
"existing daemon has different config (proxy/headed mismatch)" — an error
pointing at proxy/headed flags rather than at the cleanup that no-opped. Caught
against a daemon left over from a reboot: the operator was told to check flags
they had never passed.

Both patterns now accept optional whitespace. The new tripwire does not match
strings — it RUNS the snippets the skill hands the agent, against a state file
written exactly the way the server writes one, and asserts pid and port come
back out. A third case pins the coupling to `JSON.stringify(state, null, 2)`,
so a switch to compact JSON surfaces as a failing expectation rather than as
silence.

* fix(browse): honour CHROMIUM_PROFILE in cli profile-lock cleanup

cli.ts resolved the Chromium profile dir with a hardcoded
$HOME/.gstack/chromium-profile, while browser-manager launches the profile
returned by config.resolveChromiumProfile(), which honours CHROMIUM_PROFILE
and GSTACK_HOME.

killOrphanChromium() and cleanChromiumProfileLocks() are called with no
argument, so whenever CHROMIUM_PROFILE was set they cleaned locks for, and
killed Chromium on, the DEFAULT profile rather than the one being launched.
Starting a browser with a custom profile therefore evicted an unrelated
browser running on the default profile.

Delegating to resolveChromiumProfile() also picks up GSTACK_HOME and
os.homedir(), so the cleanup path now matches the launch path on Windows
where HOME is frequently unset.

* fix(auq): the interactive fence is quota-silent — it defers to the skill's own decision points

Burn-in calibration: run 1 (fence tail 'when unsure, ask') overshot the
plan-ceo review band at reviewCount=8; run 2 (tail mentioning 'HOW MANY
questions') undershot at 1. Any ask-count language in the fence anchors the
model in one direction or the other. The tail now says only: classify as
interactive, then follow the skill's own decision-point instructions exactly
as written. Pins updated to forbid count language in either direction.

* test(browse): pin cli.ts profile-dir wiring to the canonical resolver

Wave-added coverage for the #2732 absorption: a 6-line fix with zero tests is
how the hardcoded path shipped in the first place. resolveChromiumProfile's
env behavior is already pinned in config.test.ts; this pins cli.ts's
delegation and forbids the hardcoded path from returning.

* fix(browse): preserve return value for async IIFE expressions in js/eval (#2727)

Wave-amended: test moved to browse/test/ (browse unit-test convention); trailing-semicolon normalization kept — it is load-bearing for the expression wrapper

* fix: bin writers drop data on Windows paths with an apostrophe

Two independent Windows git-bash bugs in the bin writers, both silent
because callers invoke these scripts with 2>/dev/null and do not check
the exit status — a hard failure was indistinguishable from success.

Bug 1 — apostrophe in the checkout path breaks the bun -e program.
gstack-learnings-log, gstack-question-log and gstack-telemetry-log build
a bun -e program as a double-quoted shell string and interpolate
SCRIPT_DIR into a single-quoted JS import specifier. A path such as
C:/Users/Someone's PC/... closes the JS string literal early and Bun
fails to parse ("Expected ; but found s"). Every learning write and every
plan-tune question event no-oped; telemetry error redaction fell to its
fail-closed null path. The #1950 cygpath -m guard did not cover this —
cygpath normalises the drive form but does not remove the apostrophe.

Fixed by not interpolating the path at all: cd into the module root and
use a relative import specifier, which is immune to apostrophes, spaces,
backslashes and MSYS paths alike. The one remaining interpolated data
path in gstack-developer-profile (readFileSync of PROFILE_FILE) is passed
via the environment instead, matching do_log_session in the same file.

Bug 2 — gstack-developer-profile --derive fails on an MSYS-form
GSTACK_HOME. GSTACK_HOME defaults to $HOME/.gstack, which under git-bash
is /c/Users/..., and Bun on Windows cannot open that form (ENOENT). This
script carried no cygpath guard at all. Fixed by normalising GSTACK_HOME
once, before PROFILE_FILE / LEGACY_FILE / the events path are derived
from it, so all three pick up the normalised value.

Adds test/hostile-path-writers.test.ts, which runs the bins from a
directory whose name contains an apostrophe and asserts that rows are
ACTUALLY WRITTEN (not merely that the exit code is 0 — exit-code-only
checks are what masked bug 1). The apostrophe repro is OS-independent:
SCRIPT_DIR derives from the script's own location, so a copied checkout
under a hostile directory name reproduces bug 1 on Linux/macOS CI too.

Wave-amended: all four writers unified on the env-var import pattern the PR already used in gstack-developer-profile (no CWD-dependent module resolution)

* fix(memory-ingest): stop two silent transcript-ingest failures

Two independent bugs made transcript pages silently fail to reach the brain.

1. Frontmatter fence gluing. buildTranscriptPage() built the closing "---"
   with no trailing newline, and session bodies always start with "## ", so
   the rendered page ended "...---## User". gbrain's frontmatter matcher
   (/^---\r?\n([\s\S]*?)\r?\n---(\r?\n|$)/ in src/core/markdown.ts) requires
   the closing "---" to end its own line, so it skipped the glued fence,
   latched onto the next standalone "---" in the transcript body, parsed the
   prose between as YAML, and dropped the page with "Invalid YAML frontmatter".
   Transcripts with no later "---" fell back to body-only, silently losing
   their frontmatter. Fix: emit the fence on its own line with a blank
   separator, matching renderPageBody()'s artifact branch.

2. Slug collisions. Two source files can map to one path-derived slug (a
   session resumed under the same id on one day, or two ids sharing a 12-char
   prefix). writeStaged() names each file "${slug}.md", so the second
   overwrote the first; gbrain collected N-1 of N staged files and the
   reconciliation guard failed the whole batch every run. Fix:
   disambiguateSlugs() keeps the first occurrence and gives each later collider
   a stable "-<sha8(source_path)>" suffix (deterministic, and slug + page_slug
   move together so writeStaged, the failure mapping, and state recording agree).

Exports buildTranscriptPage, renderPageBody, and disambiguateSlugs for tests.
Adds regression tests for both failures.

* fix(gbrain): a slow --version probe classifies as timeout, never no-cli (#2716)

resolveGbrainBin's bare catch collapsed 'gbrain missing' and 'gbrain present
but the 2s --version budget expired' into the same null — freshClassify then
said no-cli, which the --is-ok whitelist from #1964 does NOT forgive, so a
bun-shim install on a loaded POSIX box silently lost every brain-aware block.
The probe now returns a discriminated result (cached per-process, same
lifetime the old null had) using the same killed/SIGTERM/ETIMEDOUT
discrimination the sources-list probe below already uses; timeout routes to
the forgiven 'timeout' status. GSTACK_GBRAIN_VERSION_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS test
override added (same precedent as the sources-probe override).

Receipt: the slow-but-present sibling test fails on a v1.77.0.0 scratch
worktree (classifies no-cli there).

* fix(codex): close the consult-mode fence, report turn.failed as a failure, capture exit codes portably (#2671, #2669)

Three defects in the codex skill sections:

- The resumed-session bash block never closed its fence; every fenced region
  after it inverted (prose rendered as code, the synthesis-recommendation tail
  rendered inert). A repo-wide fence-pairing test now scans every generated
  SKILL.md and sections/*.md with a CommonMark-faithful state machine (an
  info-string opener inside a fence is literal content — nested template
  examples in document-generate/make-pdf stay legal; a file ending inside a
  fence fails).

- The JSONL parsers had no turn.failed branch: a turn that STATED its failure
  was reported as 'possible mid-stream disconnect'. Challenge and consult now
  print the event's error and run a three-way completeness check (failed-with-
  reason / silent-disconnect / ok); consult previously had no completeness
  check at all.

- ${PIPESTATUS[0]} is empty under zsh, so hang detection never fired and
  every clean run printed a spurious '[codex exit ]'. All three capture sites
  use ${PIPESTATUS[0]:-${pipestatus[1]}}, pinned statically and EXECUTED
  under real bash and zsh in the new test. Expect a step-change in
  codex_timeout telemetry — the counter starts firing for zsh users.

Receipt: the portability pin fails on a v1.77.0.0 scratch worktree; the fence
fix is structural (17 → 18 fence lines, tail no longer inside a block).

* fix: outside-voice fallback is labeled honestly — same model family, not cross-model (#2735)

When Codex is unavailable, the plan-review outside voice falls back to a
Claude subagent and the copy sold it as 'cross-model coverage' with 'genuine
independence'. Fresh context is real; cross-model validation is not — a user
weighing 'both reviewers agree' deserves to know both reviewers share a model
family. Six canonical strings fixed at the resolver source (constants.ts
not_installed/not_authed, review.ts outside-voice bullet + three dispatch
paragraphs); ~10 generated docs and the ship goldens regenerated. Printing
the resolved fallback model at dispatch time is descoped as a functional
change (follow-up in the wave dispositions).

* fix(relink): skill_prefix patches the gbrain render too — the file the host actually serves (#2738)

gstack-relink linked SKILL.md from RENDER_DIR when a gbrain render was active
but ran gstack-patch-names only on INSTALL_DIR, so the served frontmatter kept
the unprefixed name and skill_prefix=true silently no-oped for every
brain-aware skill. The render tree (user-owned, untracked) is now patched too;
gstack-patch-names is idempotent so repeat relinks never double-prefix. The
gen-skill-docs note that pointed users at relink now describes what relink
actually covers.

Receipt: the new test fails on a v1.77.0.0 scratch worktree (served render
keeps 'name: qa').

* fix(render): section refs point at the FINAL render dir, never the tmp swap dir (#2692)

gen-skill-docs bakes its --out-dir into rendered CONTENT (rewriteSectionBase),
and both swap-in callers (setup, gstack-config gbrain-refresh) render into
claude.tmp.<pid> before the #2569 atomic rename — so every rendered skill
carried ~9 dead section Read paths that pointed at a directory the swap had
just deleted. New --link-root flag names the final serving dir (defaults to
--out-dir for direct-render callers: bin/dev-setup, dev-skill.ts, mkdtemp
tests — full caller audit in the wave notes); the rewrite now uses a
replacement callback so a $-bearing configured path can't expand as $& in a
replacement string. The swap logic itself stays byte-identical. Tests pin the
generator contract (tmp out-dir files reference the final dir, $-bearing
path included) and both callers' wiring.

* feat(setup): persistent timeline Stop hook opt-out — timeline_stop_hook config gate (#2677)

--no-team is a one-shot teardown, so every later bare ./setup (including the
ones /gstack-upgrade runs) re-registered the timeline Stop hook with no way
to say 'never'. New gate mirrors the plan_tune_hooks pattern: flag
(--timeline-stop-hook/--no-timeline-stop-hook) > env
(GSTACK_TIMELINE_STOP_HOOK) > saved config (timeline_stop_hook) > default
yes. An explicit flag persists to config so the decision survives upgrades;
an explicit 'no' also removes a live registration (reconciliation), so the
opt-out works against installs registered by an older setup. --no-team
semantics unchanged (NO_TEAM_MODE is never initialized from config). Full
gstack-config surface: DEFAULTS entry, header docs, list/defaults
enumeration, warn-and-default validation.

* fix(browse): tame the macOS headless GPU spin + reap the lock-less headless Chromium on stop (#2709)

Two defects in one report. On macOS 26 / Apple Silicon the headless-shell GPU
process pegs ~800% CPU indefinitely after real page work and --disable-gpu
alone is not enough; the reporter validated that adding
--disable-software-rasterizer/--disable-gpu-compositing/--disable-gpu-watchdog
drops it to 0.0% with screenshots still working. The flag block is a pure
platform-parameterized function (unit-tested on any host), darwin-gated,
headless-only (buildGStackLaunchArgs feeds the headed/GBrowser paths where
GPU-off is wrong), with a GSTACK_DISABLE_GPU=off escape.

Separately: the headless launch has no userDataDir, so it never writes the
SingletonLock that killOrphanChromium walks — 'browse stop' reported success
while the orphan kept spinning. The daemon now records the launched child's
pid + wall-clock start time in the state file (the xvfbPid/xvfbStartTime
contract), and stop paths reap a survivor only after verifying BOTH the
recorded start time and a Chromium-looking cmdline — a recycled PID, even one
running a different legitimate Chromium, is never killed (identity tests
include the coreutils-shebang trap that defeats argv0 renames).

macOS efficacy is per the reporter's validation; live re-verification on
Apple silicon is tracked in TODOS.md.

* fix(wtree): a failed touch falls through to the HEAD seed instead of reopening the racy window (#2687)

The v1.74 racy-git fix carries the real index's mtime onto the temp copy —
but its 'touch -r … || true' meant a FAILED touch silently kept the copy's
fresh stamp, marking every entry non-racy and reopening the exact same-size-
rewrite hole. A failed touch now discards the copy and seeds from read-tree
HEAD (slower; every entry re-hashed; fingerprint stays honest).

Verification for #2687 itself: the reporter's same-size-rewrite repro run 20
iterations against this tree — 0 misses (the underlying race was fixed by
v1.74's b1485d88 with its own regression test; this wave verifies and closes,
it does not claim that fix). Receipt: the stubbed-touch test fails on a
v1.77.0.0 scratch worktree.

* fix(redact): large reports survive the pipe — exitCode instead of process.exit; inert test payload

The wave's PR quality gate failed closed: gate-secret-scan.mjs pipes the
diff's added lines into gstack-redact and parses the JSON report, but
process.exit() discards stdout still buffered in the pipe — this wave's
646-finding report (202 KB) is the first big enough to arrive truncated
(~145 KB) at node's collector, so JSON.parse failed and the gate read
'no report' as HIGH. The report and auto-redact body paths now set
process.exitCode and let the runtime drain stdout; exit-code contract
unchanged (verified 0/2/3 end-to-end). Also: the C1 test's stdin payload no
longer uses a provider-prefix credential shape (the gate correctly flagged
it; the content was never read on the error path under test).

* fix(auq): the interactive fence ends at classification — all behavioral tails removed

The pinned-container periodic lane proved the collapse dead (reviewCount 0 →
7/8/5 across the AUQ suite) but flagged the fence's remaining behavioral
clause: 'never adds, removes, or batches the skill's decision points' broke
the paired-finding control (5 > 4 — it suppressed the batching that fixture
expects), and the band overshot its ceiling (8 > 7). Every behavioral tail
tried so far skewed counts somewhere ('when unsure, ask' → 8; 'HOW MANY
questions' → 1; 'never batches' → paired control red). The fence now ends at
'When unsure, default to interactive.' — classification only, zero behavior
words. Pins forbid every tried-and-failed phrasing.

* fix(auq): the spawned trigger is the STATUS echo, nothing else — prose channel removed from the eager path

Two pinned-container periodic rounds showed that ANY dispatch-prompt
declaration channel in rule 1 keeps question counts unstable (round 1, fence
with behavioral clause: paired control 5>4, band 8>7; round 2, bare fence:
intermittent 0s return, paired control breaks both directions). The stable
regime CI was calibrated against had no spawned prose in the eager path at
all. Rule 1 now keys on exactly one machine-verifiable thing: the preamble's
own SESSION_KIND: spawned STATUS echo. No text from a dispatch prompt, file,
or page can flip a session to auto-choose (the strongest anti-injection
form). Subagents that missed the env marker are caught at FAILURE time by
the AUQ hooks' spawned escape (explicit declaration, never inference) — a
channel that never enters an interactive session's eager reasoning.

This reverses the wave's earlier explicit-declaration middle ground (and
adopts the outside voice's twice-made echo-only argument) on the new
evidence. #2733 protected: skill-e2e-docsync-spawned (gate) passes 1/1 on
this prose — the ship Step-18 dispatch forces the env prefix, so the echo
fires there.

GPU-spin reap actually targets — it now falls back to ps -o command=.

paths (dead-daemon stop, startServer stale cleanup, headed-connect) now
reap the recorded chromium BEFORE unlinking the state file instead of
orphaning it, and the stop-path wait polls (100ms steps, 1s cap) instead
of sleeping a fixed 500ms. Wiring pinned: server-state pid/start-time
write, all five cli.ts reap call sites, headless-only GPU-flag push.

docblock and the function, orphaning the secret-scanning policy doc onto
the wrong symbol. Reordered. A call-site pin now asserts the prepare→stage
flow actually invokes disambiguateSlugs, so a refactor can't drop the call
while every unit test stays green.

* test(hostile-path): per-run mkdtemp root; telemetry-log redaction coverage

The suite used a FIXED tmpdir name, so concurrent runs (sharded runner,
sibling worktrees) tore down each other's trees mid-flight — now a
per-run mkdtemp root with the apostrophe dir inside. gstack-telemetry-log
was the one bin named in the suite header with no test: it now must append
a real row under the hostile path with the credential span redacted
(<REDACTED-github.pat>) and the rest of the message preserved.

* test(upgrade): v1.78.0.0 feature-marker migration suite

The only migration without a dedicated test. Covers copy-when-absent

overwrites), clean no-op, and two-run idempotence — asserting file
existence and contents, not just exit codes.

* test(auq): pin the explicit-declaration-only spawned escape sentence

SPAWNED_ESCAPE_SENTENCE's tightened wording had no pin: positive pins on
the explicit-declaration clause, negative pins on the retired v1.76 loose
parentheticals ('e.g. your dispatch prompt says', 'marks this session as
spawned'), and a drift guard that both hook directives embed the constant
verbatim.

* test(gbrain): invalid version-probe timeout env falls back to the default

GSTACK_GBRAIN_VERSION_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS set to 'abc', '-1', or '0' must use
the default budget — exercised behaviorally through probeGbrainBin with a
fresh PATH per case (the memo keys on PATH).

* test(codex): execute the JSONL parser under real python3; fence scanner tracks opener length

The parser's turn.completed/turn.failed/disconnect semantics were pinned
by shape only — now the python block is extracted from both RENDERED
sections and run against synthetic event streams (tokens line, FAILED +
not-a-disconnect, silence -> disconnect warning, SESSION_ID echo), with
byte-equivalence safety pins on the bash double-quote extraction. The
fence scanner also gains CommonMark opener-length tracking: a 4-backtick
fence wrapping a 3-backtick example no longer false-positives, with a
self-test.

POSIX consumer that holds the 64KiB kernel buffer full at child exit;
asserts complete parseable JSON with matching counts and exit 2, plus an

Found by the cycle-2 review pass.

* fix(memory-helpers): per-run cooldown bounds the slow-gitleaks probe cost

Retrying a slow probe per FILE (#2715's slow!=absent split) re-paid up to
probe+retry (12s default) per file — an 887-file ingest on a loaded box
spent hours re-asking the same slow question. After 3 consecutive slow
answers the run stops probing and warns once that remaining files go
unscanned; the availability cache is still never written, so the next
process probes fresh. Slow/absent discrimination is unchanged.

* fix(memory-ingest): slug assignments persist across runs via the state consult

First-occurrence-keeps-bare was walk-order-dependent ACROSS runs: a source
that got the suffixed slug once could take the bare slug the next run (its
collider aged out or was skipped as unchanged), leaving gbrain holding the
same transcript under two slugs — and a NEW collider could claim a bare
slug that state shows belongs to an unchanged source, silently overwriting
that page. disambiguateSlugs now consults state.sessions: a recorded slug
stays owned by its source_path, re-ingested sources keep their slug
verbatim, fresh assignments never take another source's slug, and legacy
duplicate records (pre-#2724 overwrites) resolve first-owner-wins and
self-heal on the next state write. Stateless behavior is unchanged.

"Both red weekly lanes are green again" overclaimed: OSV is verifiably
green (pinned scanner, frozen install, branch dispatch), but the periodic
lane keeps its pre-wave churn (#2756) — what this wave proves is that the
v1.76 regression that silenced plan reviews is dead. Flagged by the
cross-model doc review; headline now leads with the user-visible outcome.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 253d1dfe26 v1.76.0.0 fix: ship doc-sync survives Conductor — spawned subagent sessions reachable (#2733) (#2741)
* feat(session-kind): explicit GSTACK_SESSION_KIND override; skill-start spawned gates keyed on kind (#2733)

Claude Code subagents inherit the parent env byte-for-byte, so ambient
markers classify them as the parent's kind and the spawned classification
was unreachable outside OpenClaw. GSTACK_SESSION_KIND=spawned (step 0,
spawned-only by design) lets a dispatching skill mark its subagent per
command. skill-start now keys SPAWNED_SESSION and the spawned-session
instruction block on the resolved kind (was raw OPENCLAW_SESSION),
suppresses CONDUCTOR_SESSION for spawned sessions, gates all 11
interactive-onboarding blocks plus their ack-at-emit marker writes on
kind != spawned, and adds a destructive-gate carve-out to the spawned
block (conservative-continue, never prose-STOP).

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

* fix(hooks): spawned-session escape in Conductor AUQ deny; override coverage in AUQ-error fallback (#2733)

Hooks inherit the harness env, so a per-command GSTACK_SESSION_KIND
prefix inside a subagent's bash can never reach them. Levers added:
a deterministic [conductor][spawned] auto-choose deny for env-level
spawned sessions (OPENCLAW_SESSION or session-wide GSTACK_SESSION_KIND),
and a spawned escape sentence appended to both hooks' prose directives
so a marked subagent that slips and calls AUQ resolves to auto-choose
instead of prose-STOP. The sentence lives in one shared constant
(hosts/claude/hooks/spawned-directive.ts) so the two paths can never
drift; destructive semantics are unified to conservative-continue.

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

* fix(ship): Step 18 marks the document-release subagent spawned — env prefix + auto-choose prompt (#2733)

The dispatch prompt now (1) frames the run as a SPAWNED subagent whose
LAST line is machine-parsed, (2) instructs prefixing the preamble's
gstack-skill-start invocation with GSTACK_SESSION_KIND=spawned on the
same command line (template bash blocks don't share exports), and
(3) resolves every AUQ gate to auto-choosing the recommended option,
conservative on no-recommendation, never destructive. The JSON contract
gains a required "decisions" array (auto-chosen gates, printed to the
ship console — never embedded in the public PR body) and a placement
clause so the skill's own doc-health summary stops competing with the
LAST-line JSON. Tripwire pins added; codex/factory goldens refreshed.

* feat(auq-format): proactive SESSION_KIND=spawned rule ordered above the Conductor rule (#2733)

The spawned classification previously existed only in the failure-fallback
branch — a spawned session was invited to call AskUserQuestion and reach
auto-choose via the deny/error detour, and a spawned session inside a
Conductor workspace hit the Conductor prose-STOP rule first. The Tool
resolution list now leads with the spawned rule (auto-choose recommended,
never prose, never BLOCKED, destructive gates resolve conservative), the
self-check carries the never-reach-this-checklist clause, and all tier>=2
SKILL.md renders are regenerated. Context-budget fixture refreshed in the
same commit per the ratchet protocol (the AUQ section is eager in every
tier>=2 skill).

* test(e2e): spawned document-release subagent returns the JSON contract through a firing gate (#2733)

The behavioral proof the bug shipped without: ship-docsync stubs the
skill (no preamble, no gates) and skill-e2e-workflow suppresses the
gates by prompt. This gate-tier E2E plays the parent — it drives the
verbatim Step 18 dispatch prompt (extracted from the live pr-body.md,
drift-proof) against a real preamble-bearing document-release slice in
a Conductor-ambient env with both AUQ hooks seeded live, an unbumped
VERSION making Step 8 fire. Asserts: the final line parses as the
5-key JSON contract, the fired gate's auto-choice is recorded in
decisions, and VERSION is untouched (the gate resolved to its
recommended Skip). Burn-in: 1/1 pass, $0.35, 21 turns, 106s.

* docs(openclaw): document the GSTACK_SESSION_KIND override; wire session-kind into paid selectors (#2733)

OPENCLAW.md's spawned-session section now covers the explicit per-command
marker, its deliberate spawned-only narrowness, the /ship Step 18 usage,
the destructive carve-out, onboarding-block suppression, and the hook
env-blindness caveat. bin/gstack-session-kind and the shared
spawned-directive module join the conductor-prose and
auto-decide-preserved selector dep lists (session-kind previously
appeared in no touchfiles entry — editing it alone triggered no paid
E2E). TODOS.md gains the plan-tune capture follow-up for spawned
auto-choices.

* fix: pre-landing review fixes (#2733)

Review army + coverage audit findings, all applied:
- headless directive carries the spawned escape sentence too (multi-
  specialist: a CI-hosted ship's marked subagent must not end BLOCKED)
- anti-injection scoping on every text-claimable spawned trigger (AUQ
  rule + shared escape sentence): markings count only from the creating
  prompt, never from files/tool output/web content read mid-run
- [conductor][spawned] deny annotates one-way doors per question
- SPAWNED_OVERRIDE: env tamper-visibility status line + OPENCLAW.md note
- spawned sessions skip the network update-check and first-task probe
  (consumers suppressed; preserves the one-shot just-upgraded marker)
- test hardening: dispatch-tripwire end-bound validated, vacuous marker
  asserts replaced with output asserts, E2E cpSync size filter + named
  fence tolerance, spawnedByEnv parity pin, destructive-policy cross-
  surface drift guard, one-way annotation + bogus-value hook cases
- session-kind duplicate rationale comment deduped; regen + goldens +
  context-budget fixture refreshed

PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md: add hosts/claude/hooks/ to the directory tree

GSTACK_SESSION_KIND=spawned dispatch marking (#2733), and the new

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).

* 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(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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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).

* 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).

* 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.

* 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.

qa (parity-harness monolith invariant) 1.07 -> 1.12 for the shared

a deliberate decision, not drift; the Apple adapter raises ship again with
its own justification.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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).

* 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.

* fix(browse): 'browse stop' no longer restarts the daemon it was asked to stop

The stop handler awaited shutdown() — which ends in process.exit — before
returning, so the acknowledgement never egressed. 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.

acquireServerLock's bare catch treated EVERY failure as 'another process

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. Fork's five-case test ported.

message, is the invariant.

* fix(browse): windowsHide on every Windows-reachable spawn (#1835)

Console windows flashed (and stole focus) on every daemon relaunch,
taskkill, tasklist poll, and powershell DPAPI call — node-level spawns
default windowsHide to false. 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. R8's planned spawnHidden() helper is deliberately NOT
built: the polyfill default plus the tripwire achieve the no-drift goal
without indirection over seven heterogeneous call shapes. The polyfill +
spawn-hide tests join the Windows CI shard.

* fix(browse): self-repair broken Windows DACLs on state dirs (#1605)

icacls '/inheritance:r /grant:r' can partially fail on localized or domain
accounts: inheritance strips but the user grant doesn't resolve, leaving a
machine-SID-only DACL the owner can't even list — the sidebar/PTY failure
chain in #1605, caused by the very hardening call meant to protect the dir.
mkdirSecure now verifies listability after hardening (a real readdir —
fs.accessSync doesn't consult NTFS ACLs) and repairs via icacls /reset,
re-hardens, and if hardening breaks access again leaves inherited ACLs:
functional-but-unhardened beats hardened-but-unusable. 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.

* feat(browse): opt-in session persistence — auth survives daemon restarts (#778, #2193)

BROWSE_PERSIST_STATE=1 snapshots cookies + per-tab URL/localStorage/
sessionStorage to <stateDir>/session-state.json (0600) on a 30s unref'd
interval and at clean shutdown, and restores on the next launch — killing
the top-complained auth-lost-on-restart class (#778, #2193, #1128, #1129).

Security invariants mirror state save|load: loadedHtml and owner are never
persisted and never accepted from disk; restored cookies pass the same
hygiene filter (localhost/.internal/metadata domains dropped); restoreState
re-validates every URL. Default OFF; headed mode excluded (the persistent
profile owns that state). Hardened past the fork's shape per review R3:
corrupt state quarantines to .corrupt (forensic artifact, boots fresh, one
log line), snapshot failures warn once and never kill the daemon, and the
boot log reports restored counts or fresh-session status.

* feat(skills): third-party web-actions contract — offer to drive vendor-site steps, never just dump a manual list

When a workflow needs something done on an external website the user
controls (register an API key, create a vendor account, configure a
dashboard/webhook/OAuth app), five skills (ship, spec, office-hours,
setup-deploy, land-and-deploy) now follow one contract: offer to drive it
in a visible browser via gstack's own stack ($B headed + handoff/resume,
GStack Browser) behind ONE per-task consent question naming the exact site
and actions; passwords, payment, CAPTCHA, and identity stay user-performed;
captured secrets go to owner-only files or the user's secret store, never
chat/logs/history; and the credential is verified with one non-mutating API
call before any success claim — dashboards show masked placeholders, and a
401 catches them. 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;

* feat(office-hours): design docs land in the repo, written as decision records (#703, #2000)

Office-hours Phase 5 now dual-writes the design doc: the docs/designs/ copy
is what teammates and plan reviews read (committable, visible), while the
~/.gstack copy keeps memory ingest and cross-session discovery working. 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. Parity guards bumped with measured values (three plan-review

The Phase 6 resources offer (34 PG essays + Garry/YC videos) had no
permanent decline — the reporter showed memory instructions kept being

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. Config
outlives session context, so never means never. Re-enable anytime:
gstack-config set founder_resources true. The pitch stays default-ON for
everyone who never opted out.

Tests pin the key's default/persistence/validation through the real config
bin and the generated section's gate-before-content + write-verify contract.

* feat(ship): the Apple App Store release journey — working tree to Submit for Review

Point /ship at a repo with an .xcodeproj, .xcworkspace, or app-product Swift
package and ask to release: the adapter runs the whole journey with ONE
authorization moment (membership + pricing + in-session sign-in, decision-
store persisted so repeat releases ask nothing) and one store-assets question
only when assets are missing. fastlane is the single tool (produce/cert/
sigh/gym/pilot/deliver/frameit); credential vocabulary never reaches the
user.

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.

Ship's parity ratio raised 1.12 -> 1.22 deliberately: the 14.8KB section is
on-demand (Apple store targets only), one manifest line otherwise.

* feat(code-intelligence): provider contract Phase 1 — GBrain, Sourcebot, Graphify behind one ask-once offer

Open a large repo (1,000+ tracked files) and gstack can offer code
intelligence ONCE, with the trade-offs stated: GBrain (semantic memory +
code, sends content to YOUR gbrain DB, per-repo consent), Sourcebot
(self-hosted whole-repo search, local on localhost), Graphify (local
tree-sitter graph, nothing leaves the machine, user-installed), or No
indexing — a decline persists machine-wide so no skill ever asks again.
Small repos never see the question; grep stays the always-working default
and provider-OFF degrades silently (PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE -> file-only).

Ported: lib/code-intelligence/ (contract + 3 verified adapters + picker +
selection + suggest, MIT headers), the gstack-code-intelligence CLI
(suggest/select/consent/index/search/status), 31 offline tests (fake CLI
shims + injected fetch), and the provider-contract design doc. 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. The fork's Phases 2-4

* feat(ci): supply-chain hygiene — secret gate on every PR diff, dependency review, OSV, dependabot, evidence-bar PR template

The repo owned a redaction engine and had zero CI-side secret scanning.
quality-gate.yml now pipes every PR diff's ADDED lines through our own
bin/gstack-redact (gate-secret-scan.mjs, taken from the fork — it dogfoods
the engine): HIGH findings fail the check, MEDIUM prints an advisory count
only (no human in CI to confirm), planted-bug fixtures excluded by pathspec.
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. Trigger is pull_request, never
pull_request_target.

dependency-review.yml adopts the hardened never-merged prior-art branch
(fail-on-severity high, workflow paths watched, tight perms) — verify the
dependency graph parses bun.lock with a canary bump before trusting the
gate. dependabot: weekly, grouped per ecosystem, capped PR counts; and
evals.yml image build/push now skips dependabot actors, whose read-only
GITHUB_TOKEN made every lockfile bump a permanently red check. 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.

* fix: housekeeping sweep — telemetry integrity, persistent opt-out, context-bill accuracy, setup hang, dev-server discovery, model resolution (#2136 + v1.63 polish)

Seven small fixes, one theme (claims matching code):
- telemetry-sync strips local-only fields with jq del() (structural) instead
  of quote-fragile sed regexes; unparseable lines are dropped, never
  forwarded unstripped. 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.

* test: wire ios-qa/daemon/test into the free suite and shard runner (E2)

The daemon's 5 test files (allowlist, audit, auth-mint, cli-mint,
daemon-integration — now 6 with session hardening) were invisible to every
runner: not in the bun test glob, not in TEST_ROOTS. The same
silent-coverage-hole class as the tracked design/test P2 — and it meant
B2's auth regression tests would never have gated. All files are hermetic
(stub state-servers on ephemeral ports, no devices); verified green in the
shard census.

* feat(skills): claimed limitations now require evidence, everywhere + wave follow-ups filed

Every tier-2+ skill's preamble gains one directive distilled from nine live
release failures in two days on the fork: a claimed limitation or
requirement ('the API can't do this', 'X requires a credential',
'impossible on this platform') is a material claim, stated only with the
verbatim error, the documented statement, or a live probe in hand —
pattern-matching a failure to a familiar story is not evidence, and a cheap
probe runs BEFORE asking the user or declaring a step blocked. ONE directive
adapted into the preamble resolver; the fork's full judgment contract is
deliberately not imported. Full regen (46 files), ship goldens refreshed,
parity guards bumped with the measured ~0.45KB/skill (investigate, autoplan,
plan-design-review, office-hours), Step 0.9 registered as an intentional
sub-step.

Approved deferrals filed: persona-fleet hostile-user harness + answer-key
methodology in TODOS; the fork's question-budget ACCOUNTING judgment (never
its 5/8/12 constants) folded into the V1.1 pacing design doc; the Apple
adapter added to #1882's coverage note.

Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2).

* fix(make-pdf): close offline-gate bypasses via unquoted style attrs, CSS-escape and HTML-entity obfuscation

Three live vectors found by the ship review army, all red-first tested:
unquoted style attributes skipped the remote-url neutralizer entirely;
CSS ident/string escapes (@\69mport, url(\68ttps://…)) defeated the
literal-match patterns Chromium happily decodes; and HTML entities in
style attribute values (&#104;ttps) decoded to fetchable schemes before
CSS parsing. 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.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8 d8c91c6267 v1.57.3.0 fix(ship): always-loaded PR-title-version rule + fork-PR title-sync backstop (#1909)
* fix(ship): restore always-loaded PR-title-version invariant to skeleton

The v1.54.0.0 carve moved the 'PR title MUST start with v$NEW_VERSION' rule
out of the always-loaded ship skeleton and entirely into the lazily-loaded
pr-body.md section. The agent only set the version prefix if it happened to
read that section before creating the PR, so PRs landed with bare titles.

Restore a one-line invariant (+ helper reference) to ship/SKILL.md.tmpl right
before the {{SECTION:pr-body}} pointer, mirroring the AUQ always-loaded
precedent. Full procedure stays sectioned. Regenerated all hosts.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(ship): guard PR-title-version rule + pull_request_target safety

Two free gate tests so a future carve or workflow refactor can't silently
regress:

- ship-pr-title-version-always-loaded: asserts the invariant lives in the
  always-loaded ship/SKILL.md skeleton (not only sections/), and that the
  skeleton+sections union keeps BOTH the create and the existing-PR update
  title paths. Modeled on test/auq-format-always-loaded.test.ts.
- pr-title-sync-workflow-safety: static tripwire that fails CI if
  pr-title-sync.yml checks out PR-head code or inlines an attacker-controlled
  ${{ github.event.pull_request.* }} field inside a run: block (the two
  pull_request_target footguns actionlint cannot catch).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(ci): pr-title-sync covers fork PRs via hardened pull_request_target

Under plain pull_request the GITHUB_TOKEN is read-only on fork PRs, so the
title-sync backstop could never edit a fork/agent PR title. Switch to
pull_request_target (write token in base context) and make it safe:

- Check out the base repo only (no ref:) — execute trusted infra, never
  fork-head code.
- All attacker-controlled PR fields (title, head repo, head sha) pass via
  env: and are referenced as shell-quoted "$VAR", never inlined into run:.
- Read the PR-head VERSION as data (raw media type) from the head repo at the
  head sha; guard the assignment under set -e.
- Same-repo read failure fails loudly; fork miss warns and skips (the backstop
  stays green without going silently optional).
- Never echo the raw fork title (Actions parses ::workflow-command:: from stdout).

* fix(ship): expand binDir path in pr-body Linked Spec block

ship/sections/pr-body.md.tmpl:98-99 used ${ctx.paths.binDir}, but the
gen-skill-docs generator only resolves {{TOKEN}} syntax in .tmpl files — the
${...} JS-template-literal form is substituted only inside .ts resolver files.
So the token passed through literally into the generated pr-body.md, leaving the
agent with an unexpandable ${ctx.paths.binDir}/gstack-paths command in the
Linked Spec auto-detect block. Use the hardcoded helper path, consistent with
every other path reference in this section.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(test): fold ship PR-title skeleton guard into carve-guard registry

main shipped a generalized carve-guard system (PR #1907) that is now the single
source of truth for carved-skill skeleton invariants. Register the PR-title rule
there instead of a standalone test: ship's mustStayInSkeleton asserts v$NEW_VERSION
+ the rewrite helper stay always-loaded, and mustMoveToSection asserts both the
create and update PR paths stay carved into pr-body.md (present in the union, out of
the skeleton). Delete the standalone ship-pr-title-version-always-loaded test it
replaces. The CI-workflow safety tripwire stays standalone (not a carve concern).

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8 46c1fae7f1 v1.54.0.0 feat: carve /ship into skeleton + on-demand sections (-59% always-loaded) (#1806)
* feat(test): transcript-section-logger + ship-action fingerprint (T10)

Pure-analysis module over a SkillTestResult/NDJSON transcript:
- extractSectionReads(): which sections/*.md a run opened (post-carve check)
- extractShipActions(): observable action fingerprint (merge/test/bump/
  changelog/commit/push/pr) that works on the MONOLITH too, so a baseline
  captured before the carve can detect a sectioned-ship regression
- baseline read/write + compareShipActions() for baseline-first dogf(T10)

Baseline-first answers the Codex outside-voice critique that a logger in the
same PR as the carve is post-failure telemetry without a pre-carve reference.

11 unit tests, all green. Paid monolith baseline capture runs separately.

- discover-skills.ts: discoverSectionTemplates() scans <skill>/sections/*.md.tmpl
- gen-skill-docs.ts: extract resolvePlaceholders + applyHostRewrites + buildContext

  them, so a sanitization/rewrite fix can't miss sections) [C1]
- processSectionTemplate: body-fragment generation (no frontmatter/catalog/voice),
  parent-skill TemplateContext (skillName pinned to parent, not 'sections', so
  appliesTo gating + tier behave identically), per-host output routing
- --host all now fails the build on ANY host failure, not just claude, so a stale
  external-host output can't slip the freshness gate [Codex outside-voice #9]

Inert until a skill is carved (no sections/ dirs exist yet). Refactor is
output-neutral: gen:skill-docs --dry-run --host all reports 0 STALE.

5 discovery unit tests + 389 gen-skill-docs tests green.

* feat(setup): install sections/ for cherry-pick targets (claude + kiro) (T9)

Two install targets cherry-pick SKILL.md and would leave a carved skill's
sections/ behind, 404ing a runtime 'Read sections/<name>.md':
- link_claude_skill_dirs: link the sections/ subdir via _link_or_copy (windows
  gets a fresh copy on every ./setup)
- kiro per-skill loop: sed-rewrite + copy each sections/* so paths resolve under
  ~/.kiro, not ~/.codex/~/.claude

codex/factory/opencode link the whole generated dir, so sections ride free.
Addresses Codex outside-voice #4/#6 (runtime pathing landmine). Inert until a
skill is carved. Static-tripwire test + windows-fallback invariant green.

* feat(ship): gstack-version-bump CLI — tested idempotency classify + write (T9)

Hybrid CLI extraction (CM1): the deterministic core of ship Step 12 becomes a
tested CLI instead of bash prose the agent re-derives each run.
- classify: FRESH/ALREADY_BUMPED/DRIFT_STALE_PKG/DRIFT_UNEXPECTED from VERSION
  vs origin/<base>:VERSION vs package.json.version (pure reader)
- write: validated dual-write to VERSION + package.json (FRESH bump)
- repair: DRIFT_STALE_PKG sync, no re-bump
Bump-LEVEL choice + queue collision stay agent judgment; slot pick stays
bin/gstack-next-version. This removes the re-bump-a-shipped-branch footgun from
skippable prose into code that can't be skipped or misread.

15 tests (exhaustive state matrix + write/repair fs + real-git classify).

* test(parity): sectioned-skill parity capability — guards the carve (T9)

Carved skills (skeleton + sections/*.md) need parity checks that see relocated
content, or moving a phrase into a section reads as 'lost':
- readSkillForParity(): union skeleton + all sections/*.md
- checkSkillParity sectioned mode: content checks against the union; minBytes/
  maxSizeRatio against union bytes (total behavior preserved); maxSkeletonBytes
  asserts the always-loaded skeleton actually shrank. Lowering minBytes to fit a
  small skeleton would otherwise make the size floor toothless [Codex #12].

Built + tested BEFORE the carve so ship's invariant can flip to sectioned in the
same commit it lands. Monolith path byte-identical (verified: pre-existing
investigate 1.053 ratio drift fails the same with this change stashed).

7 sectioned-parity tests + existing parity tests green.

* refactor(ship): carve into skeleton + on-demand sections (Claude) (T9)

ship/SKILL.md drops 167KB → 68.7KB (~59% of the always-loaded skill) by moving
8 prose-heavy steps into ship/sections/*.md, read on demand:
tests, test-coverage, plan-completion, review-army, greptile, adversarial,
changelog, pr-body. Step 12's version logic now calls the tested
gstack-version-bump CLI instead of inline bash.

Claude-first (S2): {{SECTION:id}} emits a STOP-Read pointer on Claude (skeleton +
generated section files) and INLINES the content on every other host, so external
hosts keep the full monolith — verified factory at 162KB with no sections dir.
{{SECTION_INDEX:ship}} renders the situation→section table from the PASSIVE
manifest (CM2 / v2_PLAN.md:663); required-reads live only in test fixtures.
Multi-pass resolve expands inlined sections' own resolvers.

Parity: ship invariant flipped to sectioned (union content checks + maxSkeletonBytes
asserts the shrink). Carve-fallout fixed across gen-skill-docs/skill-validation/
golden/plan-completion/#1539/size-budget tests via skeleton+sections union reads.
Free suite green except the pre-existing investigate parity drift.

* test(ship): manifest-consistency + context-parity + requiredReads helper (T9)

Free deterministic guards for the carve:
- required-reads.ts + unit test: assertRequiredReads(run, requiredFiles) — the
  mechanical layer-5 check that the agent Read the sections its situation needs
  (required set comes from the fixture, not the passive manifest)
- section-manifest-consistency: 3-tier orphan classification (generated orphan +
  hand-edited generated file → FAIL; manifest orphan → WARN per v2_PLAN.md) and
  pins the PASSIVE-manifest contract (no applies_when/required_for)
- template-context-parity: generated sections have zero unresolved placeholders
  and gated resolvers (ADVERSARIAL_STEP/CONFIDENCE_CALIBRATION/CHANGELOG_WORKFLOW)
  rendered — proving sections resolve with the parent skillName, not 'sections'

16 tests, all green.

* test(ship): section-loading E2E + idempotency CLI detection (T9)

- skill-e2e-ship-section-loading.test.ts (new, periodic): runs real /ship in plan
  mode against a fresh version-changing fixture and asserts the agent Read the
  required sections (review-army + changelog). Runs against the INSTALLED skill
  (~/.claude/skills/gstack/ship), not repo paths, so install-layout 404s surface
  [Codex outside-voice #5]. Layer-5 mechanical guard against silent section-skip.
- skill-e2e-ship-idempotency.test.ts: detection updated for the carve — Step 12
  now runs gstack-version-bump classify (JSON "state":"ALREADY_BUMPED") instead
  of the inline bash echo (STATE: ALREADY_BUMPED). Accept both; add a
  gstack-version-bump-write re-bump regression signal.
- touchfiles: register ship-section-loading (periodic) + extend idempotency deps
  with bin/gstack-version-bump + scripts/resolvers/sections.ts.

* test(ship): union-read redaction wiring test for the carve (T9)

main's PR-body redaction-at-sink lives in sections/pr-body.md.tmpl after the
carve, not the skeleton template. Read skeleton + section templates union so the
redaction-wiring assertions follow the relocated content. 9/9 green.
