Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 410b4928e7 v1.66.0.0 feat: test/evals/CI speedup — 90s truthful free suite, diff-billed evals, required Linux lane (#2593)
* ci: bump CI image Bun 1.3.10 -> 1.3.13

Matches the local toolchain and brings native `bun test --shard=M/N` /
--parallel to CI (needed by the free-test lane and shard runner work).

* ci: stop version bumps rebuilding the eval Docker image (cache key trio)

Three coupled fixes, atomic because any subset is worse than none:

1. Image tag keys on hashFiles(Dockerfile.ci, bun.lock) — package.json is
   out: its version field changed on 60/60 recent commits, forcing a ~2min
   image rebuild per PR for a dependency set only bun.lock determines.
2. ci-image.yml now pushes that same content-hash tag (previously only
   :latest/:sha, so the weekly prebuild never warmed the tag the eval
   matrix actually looks up) and both eval workflows get registry layer
   cache (cache-to export gated to same-repo runs; fork tokens cannot
   write GHCR).
3. Dockerfile bakes /opt/node_modules_cache/.bun.lock and the runtime
   Restore-deps guard diffs bun.lock instead of package.json — otherwise
   every version-only bump made all 14 matrix jobs fall back to a live
   bun install, which is slower than today's behavior.

Worst-case failure mode is self-healing: a missing tag or cache falls
back to exactly the previous rebuild-and-install path.

* ci: stop double-running lint + skill-docs on every PR commit

Both fired on unrestricted push AND pull_request, so each PR push ran
them twice (12 duplicate (headSha, workflow) pairs in the last 200 runs).
push is now main-only; pull_request covers PR branches.

* ci: run actionlint from the prebuilt image (16s -> ~2s)

* ci: right-size five single-core jobs to ubicloud-standard-2

actionlint, skill-docs, version-gate, pr-title-sync, and the evals report
job never exceed one core; standard-8 was ~4x the cost for zero wall-clock.
build-image and the eval matrix keep standard-8.

* ci: fix workflow_dispatch concurrency collisions (head_ref || run_id)

head_ref is empty on workflow_dispatch, so every manual dispatch of these
four workflows shared one empty-suffix group and cancelled each other.

* ci(windows): cache bun installs; run the curated suite, not a hand list

- actions/cache on ~/.bun/install/cache keyed on bun.lock (install was
  35-45s of both 55-64s jobs, all network) and Bun pinned to 1.3.13 to
  match the other lanes.
- windows-free-tests now runs `bun run test:windows` (the runner's
  --windows-only curation) instead of a hand-listed 13-file subset that
  had drifted from the registry it sampled. POSIX-bound tests get
  excluded in ONE place (the curation patterns), not two.

* evals: retry 1, not 2, on every paid path

Measured on the llm-judge shard: --retry 2 amplified 25 tests into 46
executions (+84%), with retried runs at 138s vs a 10-12s baseline (429
backoff), and a permanently-failing test paying 3x. One retry still
absorbs one-off flakes; chronic flakes become visible fix-work instead
of silent wall-clock.

* evals: split skill-e2e-review into three per-file CI shards

Bun runs describe blocks as concurrency barriers, so the e2e-review CI
job executed its tests serially: 741s of an 860s PR critical path for
tests whose slowest member is 224s. The per-file matrix is the repo's
parallelism unit, so the split moves:

- Retro E2E + retro-base-branch  -> test/skill-e2e-retro.test.ts
- review/ship base-branch + Review Dashboard Via Attribution
                                  -> test/skill-e2e-review-attribution.test.ts
- sql-injection / enum-completeness / design-lite stay in
  test/skill-e2e-review.test.ts

One 741s job becomes three ~180-250s jobs. Locally the worst paid shard
drops from 1705s (94.7% of the 1800s kill) to under 700s. Test names,
bodies, suite strings, and eval-store collectors are unchanged, so
baselines carry over. Matrix rows added to both eval workflows
(attribution is gate-only, so no periodic row); the report job's
hardcoded runner count is gone (drift-proof).

* test: gate security-bench on SECURITY_BENCH=1, not model-cache existence

The existsSync gate ran ~12s of ONNX inference (plus a HuggingFace
dataset fetch) on every free-suite run on any dev box that had ever
warmed the classifier, while CI (no cache) silently skipped it. Now
explicit opt-in: SECURITY_BENCH=1 bun test browse/test/security-bench.test.ts.

* test: watchdog E2E in 1.5s instead of 22.7s (tunable poll interval)

server.ts gains BROWSE_WATCHDOG_INTERVAL_MS (floor 50ms, default 15s
unchanged). The #994 stay-alive test runs a 250ms tick and waits for the
stay-alive log line instead of blind-sleeping 2s + 20s past the
production interval.

* test: dedupe coverage gates; route both walks through skill-census

skill-coverage-floor duplicated two matrix assertions (registry
completeness, gate-tier floor) with a DIFFERENT hand-rolled directory
walk — matrix's skipped nothing, floor's skipped node_modules/docs/test.
Two 'same' gates disagreeing on the census is the bug class
test/helpers/skill-census.ts was written to kill. Registry assertions
now live in matrix only (with floor's better error message), both files
walk via skillCensus().authoredSkills, and floor keeps the per-skill
structural checks it owns.

* evals: EVALS_JOBS for shard processes; explicit within-shard concurrency

EVALS_CONCURRENCY was overloaded: the legacy bun-test path used it as
--max-concurrency (default 15) while the sharded runner read it as the
process count — exporting the legacy value gave 15 concurrent Bun
processes each spawning claude (the 429 storm). Now: EVALS_JOBS = shard
processes (default 4); EVALS_CONCURRENCY = bun --max-concurrency inside
a shard (default 4, explicit in shard args — omitting it made
within-shard parallelism silently differ from the legacy path). Stale
49/59 header math replaced with the live-count rule.

* evals: enforce detach-timeout floor from the live shard census

New free tripwire: eval:bg:gate / eval:bg:periodic --timeout must cover
ceil(shards/jobs) x shard-timeout x 1.05, recomputed from the actual paid
test census every run. Hand-derived numbers go stale every time a paid
file lands — the review split just proved it: periodic's 28800s dropped
BELOW its new 32130s worst case (raised to 32400s here). An undersized
watchdog kills healthy runs and the tail reports never-started.

* evals: preflight ping once in the sharded parent, not per shard

The Anthropic fail-fast ping ran at module load in every paid test file
importing e2e-helpers — ~30 paid claude -p calls (30s timeout each) per
full sharded run for one bit of information. The parent now pings once
before spawning shards and sets EVALS_PREFLIGHT_OK=1; the module-load
path honors the flag. Extracted to test/helpers/anthropic-preflight.ts
(injectable spawn seam) with regression pins in both directions: the
flag must skip, its absence must ping exactly once, dead API must throw.

* evals: split touchfiles into pure data + selection logic + facade

touchfiles.ts listed ITSELF in GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES, so adding one test's
dep entry forced the full ~$38 / 30-45min suite — measured on 21.9% of
recent commits (42/192). The self-reference existed because data and
logic shared a file: any edit COULD be a selection-logic change.

Now: touchfiles-data.ts (the four maps, literals only, zero imports —
the future map-diff target), test-selection.ts (matchGlob/detectBase
Branch/getChangedFiles/selectTests), and touchfiles.ts as a re-export
facade so all ~12 import sites are untouched. GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES drops
the self-ref, adds test-selection.ts (logic stays maximally
conservative), and TEMPORARILY adds touchfiles-data.ts until the
map-diff change lands. New free test pins the literal-only property
(comment-aware state-machine scan with a self-test) and facade export
parity (===), so neither can silently rot.

* test: free runner — strict output, parallel execution, stable shard indices

Three coupled changes to scripts/test-free-shards.ts:

1. STRICT OUTPUT: runFreeShard streams through the paid runner's
   BunTestOutputClassifier — exit 0 without bun's 'Ran N tests across M
   files' summary, with (fail) lines, or with a wrong file count is a
   FAILURE (anti-truncation backstop at the runner layer), plus an
   external wall-clock timeout that SIGKILLs the process group
   (timed-out distinct from failed; exit 124 vs 1). Also fixes a latent
   shard-bleed: file selectors now use exactTestFileSelectors (relative
   paths were substring filters that matched sibling roots).

2. PARALLEL: full-suite mode is one 'bun test --parallel' invocation
   (Bun 1.3.13). Measured semantics recorded in the header: per-file
   worker isolation, standard summary, and mid-suite process.exit
   surfaces as a crashed-worker FAIL with exit 1 — strictly safer than
   serial, where the same exit truncates silently. No static weight
   lists; --shards M --shard i keeps deterministic hash partitioning for
   CI matrices (native --shard rejected: round-robin renumbers when
   files land). Spawned shards get throwaway GSTACK_HOME/TMPDIR so
   parallel shards can't contend on real state. Per-shard epilogue
   prints files/seconds/status every run.

3. Stable indices: assignFilesToShards no longer drops empty shards, so
   a shard's index depends only on the file hash and requested count —
   an empty CI matrix slot is a fast no-op success, not a renumbering.

package.json 'test' now delegates to the runner (TEST_ROOTS becomes the
single source of truth for roots; slop:diff tail preserved; the runner
inherits the 30s per-test timeout the old glob passed inline).

* ci: Linux free-test lane — ~400 files get CI coverage for the first time

New required, secretless free-tests job: the canonical runner's single
'bun test --parallel' invocation with strict-output classification on
ubicloud-standard-8. The free suite previously ran on NO Linux CI — only
a curated Windows subset ran anywhere — so every 'tests pass' claim
about main rested on contributors running them locally.

Secretless by design (no API keys; fork PRs finally get real test
signal) and pinned by test/free-tests-workflow-wiring.test.ts: canonical
runner invoked, zero secrets.* references, pull_request never
pull_request_target, and matrix-count/--shards agreement if anyone
switches to the sharded fallback.

* evals: map-diff selection — a touchfiles-data edit runs only what changed

Editing the eval dep-list data no longer forces the full ~$38 /
30-45min suite (measured on 21.9% of recent commits). When
touchfiles-data.ts is in the diff, selection now evaluates the BASE
version (git show -> mkdtemp -> spawnSync bun child printing the four
maps as JSON — sync because e2e-helpers selects at module scope) and
JSON-diffs per key: added entries, edited dep lists, and tier flips are
selected; keys removed from all maps are reported, never silently
dropped; a GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES edit still runs everything.

FAIL-CLOSED with named causes: missing-base-ref, git-show-failed,
import-failed, shape-mismatch each degrade to run-all and print
'selection: global — touchfiles-data changed (<cause>)' (D9 — silently
expensive beats silently wrong, but never silently). eval:select prints
'selected N of M, reason: ...' + removed tests; --base scopes the
map-diff too.

The temporary conservative GLOBAL entry for touchfiles-data.ts is gone —
its changes route through the map-diff. 23 new free tests: pure-core
fixtures, selectTests wiring incl. a poison-injection guard, and a temp
git repo exercising every fail-closed cause end-to-end.

* evals: selection sees uncommitted work; git errors fail closed

getChangedFiles is now the deduped union of committed (base...HEAD),
staged+unstaged (git diff HEAD), and untracked (git status --porcelain
--untracked-files=all) — an agent that edits files and runs evals
BEFORE committing no longer gets the full $38 suite every time because
the committed diff looked empty. Clean tree still returns [] (run-all
by design for main-branch/periodic runs).

Git failures now THROW with the failing command, stderr, and 'set
EVALS_ALL=1 to deliberately run the full suite' — the old return []
silently became run-all, which is silently expensive. 11 new free tests
cover every source, dedupe, quoted paths, and both failure shapes via
an injectable spawn seam.

* test: revert GSTACK_HOME injection in the free runner — shared mutable state

The first full run under the strict runner surfaced 12 failures with one
root cause: injecting a single throwaway GSTACK_HOME per invocation made
6,900 tests share a MUTABLE scratch home. gstack-config tests wrote keys
into it; relink and update-check tests then read them (e.g. relink saw
skill_prefix left behind by a config test and produced prefixed names).
All 12 pass when run directly.

TMPDIR isolation stays (mkdtemp inside it is still per-call unique).
Tests needing GSTACK_HOME isolation mkdtemp their own per test — the
repo convention — and hermetic-env covers E2E children. The env-dump pin
now asserts GSTACK_HOME passes through UNTOUCHED so the injection can't
come back.

* test: rebase parity baseline to v1.64.0.0; fix capture-vs-check drift

The parity ratchet had quietly failed for 7 skills — v1.58-v1.64 growth
landed past the v1.57.7.0 anchors and nothing caught it because this
test had no CI lane (verified pre-existing: SKILL.md content is
byte-identical to origin/main). Same rebase protocol as
v1.53->v1.57.7.0; old baseline retained for the audit trail.

Root-caused a second latent bug while rebasing: captureBaseline recorded
SKELETON-ONLY bytes while the checker compares UNION bytes (skeleton +
carved sections/*.md), so a fresh capture read carved skills at ~2x
ratio (ship: 82KB captured vs 183KB checked). captureBaseline now takes
sectionedSkills and records unions for carved skills — capture and check
measure the same thing, so the NEXT rebase can't hit this. Four
CARVE_GUARDS skeleton caps re-ratcheted to current +headroom
(plan-ceo 92K, plan-eng 70K, office-hours 100K, design-consultation
70K), annotated inline.

* fix: package.json version matches VERSION (1.64.0.0)

v1.64.0.0 shipped with VERSION bumped but package.json left at 1.63.0.0
— the 'package.json version matches VERSION file' test fails on
origin/main today. Nothing caught it because that test had no CI lane
until this branch's free-tests job.

* test: fix variants-retry-after HTTP-date flake (TODOS P2)

toUTCString() truncates to whole seconds, so a +3000ms Retry-After date
could mean an effective wait of ~2001ms — flaking against the 2500ms
assertion floor ~1-2 in 9 runs under suite load. +4000ms puts the
truncation floor at 3001ms with the assertion floor safely below it.
Pulled forward from U4 because the free-tests lane is now a required
check and this flake would randomly block PRs.

* test: skill-fixture helper — extract SKILL.md sections, don't copy files

extractSkillSections (fence-aware H2 scanner, loud-throw on missing
sections with available-heading list), extractSkillBody (drops the
shared generated preamble), extractSkillHead (frontmatter + first 30
lines, for routing fixtures). Pinned section lists per consumer, and
free-tier real-skill pins so a gen-skill-docs heading rename fails the
FREE suite instead of a paid run. skill-fixture.ts joins
GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES (fail-safe polarity: over-select).

* test(evals): review E2E fixtures extract sections — 1871 -> 207 lines

CLAUDE.md's extract-don't-copy rule, applied: the three review fixtures
carry only the sections the sql-injection/enum/design-lite prompts and
judges exercise (89% cut). Full-file copies made claude -p read 1871
lines per test — the direct cause of the 1705s worst shard (94.7% of
the 1800s kill).

* test(evals): skillify fixtures via extractSkillBody — 63-83% smaller

shared generated preamble drops (skillify 1239->453, scrape 958->167).

* test(evals): context-skills fixtures via extractSkillBody — 74-82% smaller

context-save 1037->267 lines, context-restore 952->168; the 8 tests

* test(evals): opus-47 discovery fixtures via extractSkillHead — ~95% smaller

Routing/fanout tests only read frontmatter + opening lines of the 14

* test(evals): codex runner gains sections option — review variant 88% smaller

runCodexSkill/installSkillToTempHome accept sections?: string[] routed

stderr assertions validate that the real generated artifact loads.

* test(evals): routing fixture installs skill HEADS, not ~18 full SKILL.md

site: one fixture dir holding ~18 full skills.

* evals: parent-side shard skipping — a one-test diff runs 3 of 44 shards

The sharded runner spawned every shard regardless of diff; only the
child self-skipped, so a typical single-skill change still paid 44 Bun
boots + container-equivalent setup for shards with zero selected tests.
The parent now computes selection once (mirroring e2e-helpers exactly:
EVALS_ALL -> run-all, empty union -> run-all, git errors propagate the
fail-closed throw) and drops shards where no selected test name maps in.

Mapping = quoted E2E map keys in the file's source UNION keys whose dep
list registers the file (constructed-name families need the second
direction). FAIL-OPEN everywhere it matters: run-all, non-skill-e2e
files, unreadable source, zero mapped names all keep the shard — the
child filter stays authoritative, so a parent bug can only run extra.

New taxonomy status skipped-by-diff (never conflated with
never-started); selection banner prints once; --list is selection-aware.
C6 lands in the same commit: a HARD tier-alignment test — every paid
skill-e2e file must be parent-mappable or provably fail-open-safe.
Note: this change-set's 14 dep-list registrations in touchfiles-data.ts
rode along in f945c841 (concurrent-agent staging); they belong to this
change logically.

Demo: selection of one test -> 'running 3 of 44 shards, 41
skipped-by-diff'. 13 new $0 tests via injected seams.

* evals: fix context-save-list test that was 0-for-26 ($5.28, zero passes)

Disposition for the eval store's only permanently-red test. Root cause:
the hide-other-branches assertions scanned the FULL output surface
(incl. bash tool_results), so any agent that ran ls on the checkpoints
dir — the natural first step of a list flow — surfaced all three seeded
filenames and failed, even when its user-facing listing filtered
correctly. The test punished the agent for looking at the directory.

The hide-assertions now scan the agent's FINAL TEXT (the listing the
user sees); showsMain keeps the broad surface for its documented reason.
Validated live in the final gate run rather than quarantined: the test
guards real behavior (branch filtering) and the assertion was the bug.

ios-qa/daemon/test (10 files), ios-qa/scripts/gen-accessors.test.ts, and
browser-skills/hackernews-frontpage/script.test.ts ran under NO script

design/test in v1.64, the variants-retry-after flake it named is fixed

* test: supabase-provision runs in-process — 16.5s -> 0.45s

bin/gstack-gbrain-supabase-provision (482-line bash) becomes a 26-line
bun-shebang entry over a new importable lib/gbrain-supabase-provision.ts
with an injected-deps seam (fetch/env/stdout/sleep — D7: args, never
env-mutation-before-import). The 33 spawn-per-test cases run in-process
against the same Bun.serve mocks; exactly one spawn smoke keeps the
shebang/CLI/receipt contract covered.

Byte-compat proven by a 25-case differential harness (old bash bin from
git vs new, same mock): stdout, stderr, exit codes identical across all
subcommands, JSON/plain modes, and error paths. Egress receipts stay
per-attempt, receipt-before-send, fail-closed (scanner updated:
SHELL_SINKS -> MODULE_SINKS). No-op sleep injection makes retry/backoff
paths instant.

* evals: kill the 3,372-line zombie monolith; revive 4 never-run tests

test/skill-e2e.test.ts survived the v1.56 split as a zombie: the paid
glob needs the skill-e2e-* hyphen, so with EVALS=1 NOTHING has executed
it for ~8 releases — and it held the ONLY implementations of four
map-registered tests: review-coverage-audit (gate), plan-eng-coverage-
audit (gate), ship-triage (gate), ship-idempotency (periodic). Three
gate tests silently never ran — the exact 0%-execution class this
branch exists to kill.

Rehomed into test/skill-e2e-coverage-audit.test.ts, -triage.test.ts, and
-ship-idempotency-sdk.test.ts with bodies byte-identical modulo collector
wiring and fixture extraction (drift observed in the skills since v1.56
is DOCUMENTED in each header, not fixed — their first paid run in 8
releases must attribute failures to drift, not to this move). All 24
other monolith names were true duplicates of the split files — dropped
with the monolith. Matrix rows added to both eval workflows; the paid
glob's zombie-exclusion is now a commented regression pin.

* test: fix two parallelism-exposed flakes (probe re-run, live-tree census)

Both pass solo and on main but flaked under the parallel runner:

1. gstack-brain-context-load probed 'gbrain --version' PER QUERY with a
   500ms budget — a cold probe on a saturated box timed out (observed
   505ms), branding gbrain 'missing' for one query while siblings
   passed. The probe is now memoized (availability can't change
   mid-invocation) with a generous one-time 5s budget; query calls keep
   the tight timeout.

2. skill-size-budget's catalog estimate read the LIVE tree, so a
   concurrent worker's transient skill-shaped scratch dirs exactly
   doubled it (8356 vs 4177). The ratchet now counts git-TRACKED skills
   only — the catalog that ships, immune to sibling workers.

* evals: demote 4 expensive posture tests to periodic (D2a)

design-consultation-research ($0.91/304s) and -preview ($0.89/481s) —
the two most expensive gate tests — plus office-hours-forcing-energy
(LLM-judge posture score; its sibling was already demoted) and
cso-full-audit (250s/$0.57; the targeted cso tests stay gate). Saves
~$8-12 and 10-15 min per gate run. The plan-*-finding-floor tests stay
gate deliberately: cheap insurance on the most-edited skill surface.
Housing files have no whole-file self-gates, so the runtime E2E_TIERS
filter handles both tiers; tier-alignment tripwire green.

* evals: judge default Sonnet -> Haiku 4.5 (D1a)

The 25 doc-quality judges are rubric-scoring calls — a duty Haiku is
already proven at in this repo (pty hung/working classifier,
first-task-scaffold, hermetic-canary). Tests needing a stronger judge
pass a model explicitly. Note: eval-store judge costs were hardcoded
synthetic (0.02), so no baseline distortion. Re-baselined by the
periodic run in this branch's final verification.

* evals: SDK runner default Opus -> Sonnet (D1a)

agent-sdk-runner defaulted to Opus 4.7 while session-runner (the claude
-p path) defaulted to Sonnet — an inconsistency between the two runners,
not a decision anyone made. Unpinned tests were implicitly asserting the
expensive model. The 30+ tests that genuinely need Opus already pin it
via opts.model. Re-baselined by the periodic run in this branch's final
verification; regressors get explicit Opus pins.

* docs: CLAUDE.md tells the truth about the free suite; make-pdf gate is macOS-only

The '<2s' claim was off by two orders of magnitude (measured 454s serial
at v1.63; ~90-100s now under the parallel runner), and the bare
'bun test' guidance walked the whole repo, loading paid eval files and
missing the strict classifier. Commands now say 'bun run test' with real
numbers, document the strict-output invariant, the EVALS_JOBS /
EVALS_CONCURRENCY split, the computed detach-timeout floor, and the
required free-tests lane. make-pdf-gate drops its Linux leg (redundant
with the free lane running make-pdf tests on every PR); macOS rendering
coverage stays.

* test: catalog ratchet reads committed content; SDK unit pins follow D1a default

Two follow-ups from the verification runs:

1. skill-size-budget's catalog estimate still flaked under --parallel
   (8356, then 8041, vs 4177 solo) even after filtering to tracked
   skills: sibling workers REGENERATE real SKILL.md files mid-run, so
   any live-tree read is a moving target. The ratchet now reads each
   tracked skill's frontmatter from git show HEAD: — the catalog that
   ships — which no concurrent worker can perturb.

2. agent-sdk-runner unit pins asserted the old Opus default through the
   default-flow fixtures; flipped to the Sonnet default (the explicit-
   override pass-through pins keep Opus — that path is unchanged).

* fix(browse): SIGKILL abandoned Chromium on close-race timeout (suite wedge)

close()'s launched-mode path raced browser.close() against 5s and on
timeout ABANDONED the child: this.browser nulled, process handle lost,
Chromium alive holding keep-alive connections into test servers whose
stop() then waits forever. Reproduced twice as an intermittent (~50%)
whole-suite wedge — a 44min 0.1%-CPU hang pinned by a leaked LISTEN
socket, and a 400s hang with commands.test.ts teardown in flight.

The child handle is now captured BEFORE the race and SIGKILLed on
race-timeout (launched mode only; headed keeps context.close). Race
timers are unref'd so a successful close stops pinning the caller's
event loop for the window. The four browse test servers force-close
keep-alives (stop(true)) as belt-and-braces.

* test: delete two dead-architecture security contract tests

browse/test/security-source-contracts.test.ts and sidebar-security.test.ts
read browse/src/sidebar-agent.ts at module scope — a file deleted (on main
too) when the sidebar chat-queue path was ripped in favor of the terminal
PTY. Both files have errored on load ever since: the old truncating suite
never surfaced it, and no CI lane ran them. Their subjects (queue-spawn
canary injection, preSpawnSecurityCheck, queued args, chat system prompt)
no longer exist; server.ts retains processAgentEvent only in a comment.

Live security coverage continues in security.test.ts (canary/verdict),
content-security.test.ts (L1-L3), server-sanitize-surrogates.test.ts,
and the security-bench suite. If the terminal-agent path should inherit
any of the deleted contracts, that is a separately scoped piece of work
against the component that actually exists.

* fix(redact): calibrate placeholder recognition for code and doc shapes

Three pushed-secret false positives blocked this branch's push; each is
now recognized as a placeholder in the url_with_password/basic_auth_url
validators, with real passwords still blocking (all pinned):

- ${camelCase} JS template interpolations (the old check only skipped
  uppercase env-style ${DB_PASS}, so the supabase-provision bash->TS
  port's `postgresql://${dbUser}:${dbPass}@...` flagged as two
  pushed secrets).
- The literal PASSWORD/pass placeholder in URL-format doc comments.
- The provision lib's doc comments now use <PASSWORD>/PASSWORD forms.

* test: opt-in gate for live-playwright ML tests; ios-qa build hygiene

security-live-playwright's L4 tests dlopen onnxruntime inside a bun
--parallel worker whenever the dev box has a warm model cache — the
source of the intermittent 'panic: Segmentation fault' + crashed-worker
retries (and likely the residual run wedges). Same SECURITY_BENCH=1
opt-in as security-bench.test.ts; the L1-L3 tests in the file still run
everywhere.

Also: gitignore the ios-qa gen-accessors-tool Swift .build/ output (a
side-effect of running its tests that kept polluting git status) and
commit its Package.resolved so tool builds resolve reproducibly.

* test: free runner output contract — name the failure, quiet the noise

Diagnosing a red run used to mean re-running with output captured to a
file and grepping past ~1000 lines of tab-close spam and ASCII art —
several runs today ended with no way to even NAME the failing test, and
a wall-timeout kill said nothing about which file wedged.

New contract: the full child stream ALWAYS lands in a per-run log file
(path printed up front); the console shows only runner lines, (fail)
results, crash markers, and the terminal summary (--verbose restores
the firehose; the strict classifier consumes the full stream in every
mode). After every run a stable epilogue names the outcome:

  [test:free] FAIL — k failing test(s) in j file(s), c crashed
  worker(s). Full log: <path>
    ✗ <file> — <test name>
    ⚠ crashed+retried: <file>
    ⏱ in flight at kill: <files>      (timeout only — the wedge suspects)

Attribution rides bun --parallel's per-file output grouping
(ANSI-stripped — color codes defeated a plain grep today). 12 new pins:
epilogue formats, crash surfacing, quiet/verbose console policy, log
completeness, in-flight-at-kill on a real hang.

* test: quarantine 5 pre-existing env failures individually (receipts in-file)

Three snapshot tests (stale-ref error, snapshot -D diff, annotation
cleanup) and two extension-sender-auth behavioral tests fail identically
on origin/main v1.64.1.0, solo, on dev machines — verified per the blame
protocol. Main's CI lane skip-lists both FILES wholesale; quarantining
only the five failing tests keeps the other 60 guarding. Each carries
the un-skip condition.

* test: stealth-webdriver launch gets parallel-load headroom (120s)

Playwright's default 30s launch timeout dies under the full-suite
--parallel run when ~400 workers contend for Chromium launches — bun
reports the hook death as an '(unnamed)' 30006ms failure (named on
sight by the new runner epilogue). Both launch sites get explicit 120s
timeouts; the runner's external wall-clock still bounds the ceiling.

* test: free-runner wall timeout 15min -> 6min (faster wedge diagnosis)

The suite completes in ~100-160s; a wedge used to mean 15 minutes of
silence before the kill-and-name epilogue fired. 6min keeps ~3.5x
headroom over the slowest observed clean run while naming wedge
suspects in minutes. --wall-timeout <secs> overrides per run.

* test: run worker-hostile files in a serial child (first entry: security-live-playwright)

The residual full-suite wedge, named by the new epilogue: Bun 1.3.13
segfaults running browse/test/security-live-playwright.test.ts in a
--parallel worker ('panic: Segmentation fault ... a bug in Bun'), and
the crashed-worker retry then wedges the whole invocation past the wall
clock. The file passes serially.

New WORKER_HOSTILE placement list: full-suite mode excludes listed files
from the parallel invocation and runs them in their own strict-classified
serial child afterward — execution placement, not a skip; each entry
carries its reason and removal condition.

* test: gate compare-board's file-level hooks too — the intermittent staller

Skipped describes do NOT skip file-level hooks: the quarantined
compare-board file still ran its top-level beforeAll (PNG fixtures +
Bun.serve + a BrowserManager launch — exactly the 'needs a
display-shaped env' code) on every run, and under parallel load that
setup wedges. Caught red-handed by the runner's in-flight-at-kill
epilogue: '⏱ in flight at kill: browse/test/compare-board.test.ts'.
This was the suite's intermittent staller. Hooks now honor the same
GSTACK_COMPARE_BOARD_TESTS gate; the gated file drops from 3.7s of live
setup to 0.4s of pure skips.

* test: full suite runs as N shard processes; scrub spec-sync child env

Two fixes from the wedge-hunt endgame:

1. Full-suite mode switches from one 'bun test --parallel' invocation to
   N concurrent shard PROCESSES, serial within each (the paid runner's
   proven model; N = min(6, cpus-2)). The single-invocation strategy hit
   three distinct Bun 1.3.13 worker pathologies in one day — a segfault
   whose crashed-worker retry wedged the run, a quarantined file's
   still-running file-level hooks stalling a worker, and spawn-heavy
   files hanging under load — and each one stalled the WHOLE invocation.
   Process shards isolate any wedge to its own shard. First full run
   under this model: no wedge, six epilogues, one real failure named.
   WORKER_HOSTILE stays as the paper trail; --parallel remains available
   per-shard for a future Bun.

2. That one real failure: spec-template-sync regenerates SKILL.md via a
   child that inherited the shard process's env — an earlier test's
   GSTACK_*/GBRAIN_* mutations changed generator output (failed in-suite,
   passed solo on an identical tree). The child now gets a scrubbed env:
   generator output must be a function of the templates, not of whichever
   test ran before.

* test: tree-mutating tests run after the parallel shards; scrub relink env

The flake family's root cause, finally: five test files REGENERATE
shared repo artifacts in place (catalog-mode-full rewrites every
SKILL.md in full-catalog mode; spec-sync and idempotency regenerate all
skills; gen-skill-docs and skill-validation rewrite .agents/). Any
concurrent shard reading those files sees a moving target — this one
family produced the exactly-doubled catalog estimate, the golden-file
drift, and the spec-sync mismatch chased earlier today. Full-suite mode
now runs TREE_MUTATING files in one serial shard AFTER the parallel
shards complete; CI's matrix is unaffected (per-runner checkouts).

Also: relink's run() helper spread process.env into its children, so a
sibling file's leaked GSTACK_HOME made the 'fresh install' test see a
neighbor's skill_prefix. GSTACK_HOME is now dropped unless the test
passes it explicitly.

* test: gbrain-detection-override joins TREE_MUTATING (mutator #6)

It regenerates SKILL.md in place with --respect-detection (the gbrain
variant adds ~1-3KB per carved skeleton) and git-restores afterward —
its own header documents the approach. During that window the parity
suite in a concurrent shard read inflated skeletons and failed 4 caps.

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

* test: tree-ratchet readers join the serial phase (quiet tree by construction)

Two consecutive runs failed the parity caps with byte-identical inflated
skeletons (+~2KB gbrain-variant blocks) while the tree was clean before
and after — some concurrent regen window keeps escaping the mutator
census. Rather than hunt every present and future mutator, the tests
that MEASURE the shared tree (parity caps, size budgets, carve guards)
now run in the serial phase after the parallel shards: a quiet tree by
construction, immune to any regen we haven't found.

* evals: judge default back to Sonnet — Haiku regressed the rubric family (A/B receipts)

The partial-diff rehearsal was the Haiku judge default's first live run
and it failed all three selected doc-rubric judges. Controlled A/B on
the identical health-rubric prompt: Haiku 2/2/2 vs Sonnet 4/3/4, both
with coherent reasoning — Haiku is simply a harsher grader on
long-document rubrics, and every >=4 threshold in skill-llm-eval was
calibrated against months of Sonnet baselines. Per D1a's
pin-on-regressors protocol the default reverts; a new
GSTACK_EVAL_MODEL_JUDGE override makes future recalibration a one-var
experiment. Haiku keeps the classifier-grade duties (pty hung/working,
warmup, distill via lib/eval-model.ts) and D1a's capture->Sonnet stands.

* fix(test-runner): per-origin classifier buffers — interleaved pipes can't shear lines

stdout and stderr are independent pipes; a chunk from one can arrive
between two halves of a line from the other. The single shared
pending-buffer glued those fragments into garbled lines: a sheared
(fail) line went uncounted (defeating the exit-0-with-failures
backstop) and a sheared terminal summary read as truncation.
Counters stay shared; line assembly is now per-stream, and both
runners tag the stream origin. Also drops the dead ChildProcess
type import left by the killProcessGroup move.

* fix(test-runner): real carve-guard keys in TREE_MUTATING; census pins; size-scaled wall deadlines

TREE_MUTATING listed 'test/carve-guard-checks.test.ts' — a file that
has never existed (the real ratchet readers are
carve-guard-completeness and carve-section-ordering), so the intended
serialization was silently absent. New census pin tests fail on any
key that doesn't name a real free test file, and on a TEST_ROOTS
entry that stops contributing files. Full-suite wall deadlines now
scale with shard size (max(6min, files x 5s)) so a jobs=1 machine or
the ~130-file Windows shards can't false-timeout a healthy run;
explicit --wall-timeout disables scaling. Stale --parallel wording in
the dry-run message, jsdoc, and the TREE_MUTATING ordering comment
corrected to the shipped process-shard model.

* fix(evals): selection under-selection fixes — duplicate keys, self-paths, quotePath

Three under-selection holes: (1) duplicate E2E_TOUCHFILES keys
(ship-plan-completion/-verification) — JS keeps the LAST duplicate, so
the earlier dep lists were dead; pair deleted and a duplicate-key scan
added to the literal-only tripwire. (2) The five rehomed e2e files
didn't list themselves in their own dep lists, so editing the test
never selected it. (3) git C-escapes non-ASCII paths without
core.quotePath=false, so an accented filename matched no glob and
deselected its tests. Also updates the stale --retry cost comment.

* fix(evals): destructive-actions guard actually inspects Bash commands

The rehomed guard filtered on typeof input === 'string', but
session-runner records tool inputs as objects ({command} for Bash) —
the filter matched nothing and the assertion could never fail, even
against a real 'git push'. Now extracts the command from the object
shape, same as the usedGitDiff check above it.

* fix(redact): interpolation allowance can't swallow a real $word password

The placeholder calibration used optional braces on both sides, which
also suppressed bare $lowercase — a real password starting with '$'
would have passed the HIGH gate. Interpolation now means ${identifier}
(braced, any case) or bare $UPPER_SNAKE only; both connection-string
patterns share one validator so they can't drift. Pins added for the
bare-$word block, $UPPER allowance, and mismatched-brace block.

* fix(gbrain): wait --timeout validates up front instead of polling forever on NaN

Number('abc') is NaN, NaN comparisons are always false, and the
poll loop never hit its deadline — an infinite 5s loop where the bash
predecessor errored immediately. die(2) at parse time, with a test.

* ci: least-privilege tokens on the two lanes that execute PR-controlled code

free-tests runs PR code (install lifecycle scripts + the suite) with
whatever the repo-default GITHUB_TOKEN grant is, persisted into
.git/config by checkout. Now: permissions contents:read,
persist-credentials false, pinned by the wiring test. actionlint gets
the same treatment plus a digest pin on the third-party Docker Hub
image (a tag is repointable with no GitHub-side audit trail, and the
image sees the mounted checkout). restore-keys added to both caches so
a lockfile bump warms from the previous cache; stale --parallel header
wording corrected.

* test(browse): unit coverage for the close() SIGKILL fallback

The wedge fix (capture the Chromium child before the close race,
SIGKILL on timeout) shipped without a test of the branch it added —
the coverage audit flagged it as the diff's one regression-gap. The
5s race window becomes an injectable closeRaceMs field, and four unit
tests pin: SIGKILL on hang, no SIGKILL on clean close, no SIGKILL on
an already-exited child, SIGKILL on a rejecting close.

* docs: CLAUDE.md describes the shipped shard-process model, not the abandoned --parallel probe

* fix(test-runner): cancellation terminates the run; win32 kills the whole tree

Installing SIGINT/SIGTERM forwarders suppresses Node's default
terminate-on-signal, so a cancelled run killed the current child and
kept LAUNCHING shards — observed as paid runs continuing to burn API
spend after Ctrl-C (codex adversarial, repro'd ALIVE_AFTER_SIGTERM).
The first signal now also schedules the parent's own exit after the
children's SIGKILL grace, and both shard pools consult
isTerminationRequested() before taking new work. On win32,
killProcessGroup uses taskkill /T /F — detached:true creates no
killable group there, and a bare child.kill orphaned every grandchild
(ports, locks, and the inherited pipes that kept close from firing).
Also: the tree-mutating serial shard prints dirty generated artifacts
when it dies mid-regeneration, and --shard CI-matrix mode gets the
same size-scaled wall deadline as full-suite mode.

* fix(evals): preflight fails fast on spawn error, timeout, and exit 127

The ping only grepped stdout for two connection strings — a missing
claude binary, a 30s timeout kill, or command-not-found all returned
'ok', and the fleet then burned ~30 shard timeouts discovering the
outage one child at a time. Cross-model finding (testing specialist +
codex adversarial). Other non-zero exits stay deliberately fail-open:
a flaky preflight must not block a runnable suite; pinned both ways.

* fix(redact): lowercase 'password'/'pass' at the URL-password position blocks

The case-insensitive placeholder words waved postgres://admin:password@host
through the HIGH gate as a doc placeholder (codex adversarial,
verified zero findings pre-fix). URL-password position is now stricter
than generic placeholder detection: ALL-CAPS doc convention
(USER:PASSWORD), ${identifier} interpolations, bare $UPPER_SNAKE, and
structural shapes (<your-password>) suppress; lowercase dictionary
words block. Pinned in both directions.

* fix(gbrain): DSNs percent-encode the password; body reads retry; stdout drains

Three codex-adversarial findings in the provision port: (1) raw DB_PASS
interpolation — a reserved character (/ # ? % @) restructured the URI,
provisioning succeeded, and every consumer then failed to parse the DSN
(unusable billable orphan); now encodeURIComponent, round-trip pinned.
(2) await res.text() sat outside the transport try — a server that sent
headers then reset the stream was an uncaught exit 1 instead of a
retry-then-exit-8. (3) The bin entrypoint called process.exit() after
unawaited stdout writes, truncating piped JSON; exitCode lets writes
drain.

* fix(evals): selection-path helpers join GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES; base-branch keys self-register

The three-file split moved test-selection.ts into the globals but
dropped the facade — an edit to test/helpers/touchfiles.ts (executable
selection-path code imported by every consumer) selected ZERO paid
tests, the exact invisible-non-execution class this branch exists to
kill (claude adversarial, finding 1). e2e-helpers.ts (the harness every
paid test imports) and paid-test-set.ts (paid-vs-free classification)
had the same gap. The review/ship base-branch keys also register
test/skill-e2e-review-attribution.test.ts so editing those tests
selects them.

* ci(free-tests): PR-number concurrency, failure-log artifact, main-push runs

Three red-team/adversarial findings on the new required lane:
(1) concurrency keyed on bare head_ref — two forks with the same
branch name shared one group, so a push to fork B cancelled fork A's
in-flight REQUIRED check (merge-pipeline DoS with no code fault); key
on the PR number. (2) The runner's full logs die with the runner in
os.tmpdir() — a red check named WHICH test failed but never why;
upload the shard logs as an artifact on failure. (3) PR-only trigger
meant two individually-green PRs could merge into a red main with
nothing running the suite there; add push: branches: [main].

* ci: PR-number concurrency keying on the eval and Windows lanes too

Same fork-branch-name collision as free-tests.yml: bare head_ref
carries no owner prefix, so same-name branches from different forks
shared a cancel-in-progress group.

* test(evals): retro E2E passes require the report on disk

Both retro tests passed with zero work product: error_max_turns
counted as success and the content assertion was guarded by
fs.existsSync — a run that burned 30 turns and wrote nothing recorded
green (red team). The report is now load-bearing for pass/fail.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.66.0.0)

Test/evals/CI speedup pass: release summary + itemized changes in
CHANGELOG.md; TODOS.md marks the free-suite exit-code P1 complete and
files the review-army follow-ups.

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

* fix(redact): fully-braced ${...} interpolations are code, whatever they contain

The identifier-only braced form flagged the DSN builder's own
${encodeURIComponent(dbPass)} call site as a pushed secret — a scan
that cries wolf on the fix for the previous finding. Any ${...}
spanning the whole password segment is template code; bare $word
stays uppercase-only so $hunter2 still blocks. The mismatched-brace
negative fixture assembles at runtime so this file's own pushed bytes
carry no blockable URL shape.

* test(gbrain): assemble the pooler expected-URL from parts (scan-clean pushed bytes)

* docs: sync docs for v1.66.0.0 (test/evals/CI speedup)

CONTRIBUTING.md, AGENTS.md, and ARCHITECTURE.md still taught bare
`bun test` for the suite; the shipped runner deprecates it (walks the
whole repo, loads paid eval files, misses the strict classifier). All
suite-level references now say `bun run test`, the Tier 1 section
describes the strict shard runner (~90-100s, --verbose, --wall-timeout),
the sharded paid-runner paragraph documents diff-based shard skipping
and the EVALS_JOBS / EVALS_CONCURRENCY split, the Tier 3 row points at
the actual judge-only invocation, and GSTACK_EVAL_MODEL_JUDGE is
documented at the judge it overrides.

* ci(free-tests): restore the PR-number concurrency + failure-log artifact; truth-fix stale comments

The workspace-revert incident that hit CHANGELOG/TODOS mid-ship also
caught free-tests.yml between edits: commit 8d6c2ff8's message claims
PR-number concurrency + artifact upload + main-push runs, but only the
push trigger survived to the commit (caught by the /document-release
doc-vs-code audit). Both re-applied. Also: eval-model.ts header said
capture defaults to Opus (it's Sonnet per D1a), paid-shards' header
pinned a stale 44/63 shard census, and two CHANGELOG phrases
over-claimed ('six' -> 'up to six' shard processes; retry-1 scoped to
retry-bearing paid paths).

* ci: setup-buildx before every cache-exporting image build

First live run of the cache trio failed at flag-parse time: the
default buildx `docker` driver hard-errors on cache-to registry
export ('Cache export is not supported for the docker driver'), which
failed build-image on PR #2593 and skipped the entire gate eval
matrix behind it. docker/setup-buildx-action creates the
docker-container builder that supports registry cache export; all
three build sites (evals, evals-periodic, ci-image) get it.

* fix(browse): Xvfb identity is argv[0]'s basename, not a cmdline substring

First Linux CI run: isOurXvfb identified the TEST RUNNER as our Xvfb —
the suite's own argv contains 'xvfb.test.ts', the substring match over
the whole cmdline passed, and the start-time check matched because the
pid was real. Any process whose ARGUMENTS mention xvfb (a runner, an
editor) was killable — the sibling-kill class the identity check
exists to prevent. Identity now rests on argv[0]'s basename ('Xvfb'),
with a sh-$0 regression pin. isDisplayFree falls back to the X
socket/lock files when xdpyinfo isn't installed (x11-utils is absent
on some images that ship Xvfb).

* fix(test-runner): strip GHA ::group:: wrappers before file attribution

On GitHub Actions bun wraps each file's log section in ::group::. The
un-stripped header failed FILE_HEADER_RE, failures attributed to the
PREVIOUS file, and the terminal recap's re-printed (fail) lines landed
under a phantom second file — the first Linux run reported 5 real
failures as 10 across 2 files (one of them innocent). Strip the prefix
before matching; the existing file+test dedupe then absorbs the recap.

* test: first-Linux-run environment fixes — bun-only PATH shim, claude gate, darwin-scoped pdf gates

Three environmental assumptions the Linux lane exposed:
(1) gbrain-detect's deterministic SAFE_PATH lacked the bun runtime, so
every env-shebang spawn exited 127 on CI; a scratch dir holding ONLY a
bun symlink joins the PATH (appending bun's real dir would leak its
siblings — dev boxes keep gbrain there too).
(2) host-config's 'detect finds claude' assumed a claude binary; the
secretless lane deliberately has none — gated on Bun.which.
(3) The four make-pdf render gates hard-required prerequisites on ANY
CI, but the make-pdf gate workflow is macOS-only by decision and the
Linux lane doesn't build dist/pdf — hard-require scoped to darwin.

* ci(free-tests): run the suite under xvfb-run

Headed-browser tests (handoff, extension sidepanel DOM) need a real
DISPLAY; the first Linux run died on Playwright's 'headed browser
without an XServer' banner. xvfb-run -a provides the display; x11-utils
ships xdpyinfo for display probing.

* fix(test-runner): bun's headerless failure recap can't invent a phantom failing file

Round-3 CI showed the remaining half of the recap bug: bun prints
'N tests failed:' then re-prints every (fail) line with NO file
headers, so they attributed to the stale currentFile — an innocent
file (test/uninstall.test.ts) was charged with another file's 5
failures. The recap marker now ends attribution (currentFile=null,
chunk closed) and recap re-prints of already-recorded test names
dedupe; a recap-only failure the main run never attributed still
records, unattributed, as belt and braces.

* test(browse): sidepanel DOM suite launches with --no-sandbox on CI + console capture

The suite's raw chromium.launch had no --no-sandbox — every browse
test that goes through gstack's launcher (which always passes it)
survived the Linux lane, while this file's sandboxed renderer died on
first navigation: waitForFunction hung to the 15s test timeout, then
every newContext failed with Target.createBrowserContext. Also wires
pageerror/console-error capture at all six pages so a page-side
failure reads as itself in CI logs instead of a bare timeout.

* test(browse): delete the sidepanel security-DOM suite — it tests UI removed in v1.14

Another member of the never-ran class: the file skipped everywhere
(Playwright chromium absent locally, no Linux CI until this branch),
so it rotted invisibly through THREE contract changes — the v1.63
/extension-token bootstrap, the endpoint growth (/memory,
/pty-session, /sse-session), and finally the v1.14 sidebar-REPL
rewrite that removed the security shield/banner UI it asserts on
(#security-shield survives in sidepanel.html as a dead hidden stub
with no JS driver; sidepanel.js:87 and :1317 document the removal).
The Linux lane executed it for the first time and it can never pass:
the behavior is gone. The L1-L3 security filters it name-checked stay
covered by the ~83 unit/behavioral security tests. The free-tests
lane also vendors xterm assets (bun run vendor:xterm) so the
sidepanel terminal scripts load for any future DOM coverage.

* ci(evals): per-row retry override — two receipted rows keep the third attempt

Three PR rounds of receipts: pty-plan-smoke failed attempt 2 in two
consecutive rounds with ROTATING members (plan-design-review, then
plan-eng-review) and e2e-workflow's document-release timed out on
attempt 2 in round 4 — while both families pass on branches still
running three attempts, and every other row stayed green at --retry 1
across all rounds. Matrix rows gain an optional retries field
(default 1); only these two rows set 2, keeping the measured
retry-amplification win everywhere else.

* test(windows): curate the seven POSIX-bound files the expanded lane surfaced; fix flag-utils path embedding

First full run of the expanded Windows lane (13 -> ~258 files, PR #2593
run 31918591602) failed in exactly 8 files. One was a real test bug,
fixed: design-flag-utils embedded a raw Windows ROOT into a bun -e
string where backslashes act as escapes (D:\a\gstack imported as
D:agstack) — forward slashes work on every platform. The other seven
are POSIX-bound in ways the content patterns cannot see (sed/ln/bash
ARE their subject, a shebang shim arrives via variable, wall-clock
retry bounds on the slowest runner) — each gets a receipted
KNOWN_WINDOWS_INCOMPATIBLE entry, and the census pin now covers that
list so a renamed file fails the suite instead of silently keeping a
stale exclusion.

* test(windows): curate skill-census + browser-manager-unit; surface unhandled errors in the epilogue

Round-2 Windows census (zero failing TESTS — the first curation wave
held): shard 1 failed on an unhandled module-load throw in
skill-census (the skills-tree symlink layout needs Developer Mode CI
runners lack) and shard 2 wedged to its wall deadline inside
browser-manager-unit — both get receipted exclusions; macOS + Linux
lanes keep covering the files. The unhandled-error class also exposed
an epilogue gap: it fails the shard via the strict classifier but
produces no (fail) lines, so the epilogue read 'FAIL — 0 failing
test(s)' with no culprit. The reporter now attributes each
'# Unhandled error between tests' marker to its chunk and the FAIL
line carries the count.

* docs: file the two Windows-lane follow-ups (browser-manager wedge, skill-census symlinks)

* test(windows): round-3 curation — seven files the round-2 wedge had been truncating

The browser-manager-unit wedge was cutting shard 2 short, so each
Windows round revealed the next segment of never-run files. With the
wedge excluded, shard 2 completes (50s) and shows its real failures:
seven more POSIX-environment files (PID/cmdline identity probing,
bash scripts as the subject under test, env-scrubbed bun spawns).
Shards 1 and 3 (including all tree-mutators) now PASS on
windows-latest — this should be the fixed point: ~234 files of real
Windows coverage vs the 13 hand-picked before.

* test(windows): round-4 curation (spawnSkill env, symlink fixtures) + shard-log artifact

Shard 2 ran all 132 files with zero (fail) lines yet bun exited 1 —
unhandled errors in a shape neither counter names, and the Windows
lane had no log artifact to attribute them. Statically attributed and
excluded: browser-skill-commands (spawnSkill spawns bun with a
constructed env; resolution fails under Windows spawn) and
security-audit-r2 (evil-link symlink fixtures need Developer Mode).
The lane now uploads its shard logs on failure like free-tests.yml,
with os.tmpdir() pointed at runner.temp so the glob can find them.

* evals: Opus pin on the spec AUQ-matrix entry — D1a regressor, receipts in-file

The periodic re-baseline for the capture default (Opus -> Sonnet)
found exactly one regressor across the seven-entry AUQ behavioral
matrix: spec failed twice under Sonnet ('never reached a question in
budget', 242s) while its six siblings passed; the controlled Opus
re-run passed cleanly (7/7 format, substance 5, 160s), and a second
run through the new per-entry model plumbing confirms. MatrixSkill
gains an optional model field wired into captureFirstAuq; only spec
sets it. TODOS gains the re-baseline receipts for the never-baselined
periodic tail (three setup-gbrain files + ship-idempotency, all
local-only).

* test(evals): scope-gate assertion carries its evidence tail; file the detector-flake TODO

The plan-design-review member fails ONLY scopeGateQuestionObserved
intermittently on unchanged code (PR #2593: red rounds 3/11 + rerun,
green rounds 5/6 — every attempt terminal, no plan-mode leak), and a
bare Expected-true/Received-false is undiagnosable from CI logs. The
check now throws with the last-2KB visible evidence, so the next
failure distinguishes a detector-sensitivity miss from a real silent
bypass. TODO filed with the full receipt trail.

* test(evals): review-dashboard-via budget 300s -> 360s — third ratchet of the same contention story

PR #2472 documented the 180s deterministic 0-turn startup timeouts and
ratcheted to 300s; PR #2593 hit 302s timeouts on attempt 2 in two
consecutive runs while five sibling rounds passed — marginal at 300s
under 40-way in-shard concurrency. Same headroom its contention-class
sibling (retro-base-branch) carries; outer bun timeout rises to 480s.

* test(evals): document-release budget 180s -> 300s — same contention ratchet, receipts in-file

Timed out at exactly 180s on its final attempt twice on PR #2593
(rounds 4 and 13) while passing four other rounds — a 30-turn
multi-step doc workflow is marginal at 180s under 40-way in-shard CI
concurrency. Same story and same fix as review-dashboard-via and
retro-base-branch; outer bun timeout rises to 360s.

* docs: file the systemic in-shard-concurrency follow-up behind the timeout-flake family

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8 a861c00cfa v1.58.3.0 feat: gbrowser anti-detection Layer C stealth (#2047)
* feat: Layer C stealth — chrome.*, Notification, per-install hardware, toString Proxy (gbrowser T1+T3+D6)

Three additions stacked into the existing applyStealth() init script
to close the visible automation tells that today push GBrowser users
into Google's /sorry/index captcha and similar:

T1 — Strip Playwright's automation default args:
  --enable-automation                              (kills "Chrome is being
                                                    controlled" infobar)
  --disable-popup-blocking, --disable-component-update,
  --disable-default-apps                           (Patchright's list — each
                                                    is a documented tell)

  Now centralized in STEALTH_IGNORE_DEFAULT_ARGS export, used by BOTH
  launchHeaded() and handoff() (the headless → headed re-launch path).

D6 — Drop "GStackBrowser" UA branding suffix:
  Real Chrome's UA ends `Safari/537.36`, not `Safari/537.36 GStackBrowser`.
  The branded suffix was a high-entropy classifier for any vendor that
  grep'd UA for known automation/test-browser strings. Branding still
  lives in the wrapper .app name + Dock icon + tray — does not need
  to leak via the UA string for the product to be "GBrowser." Resolves
  the "looks like Chrome but identifies as GStackBrowser" contradiction
  codex review #18 flagged.

T3 — Layer C init-script additions in stealth.ts:

  1. Function.prototype.toString Proxy (must run first). Wraps every
     patched getter / function in a WeakSet so they report
     `function NAME() { [native code] }` at every recursion depth,
     defeating the depth-3+ integrity check
     (fn.toString.toString.toString().includes('[native code]')).

  2. window.chrome.runtime / chrome.app / chrome.csi / chrome.loadTimes
     restoration with full enum shape (OnInstalledReason, PlatformArch,
     PlatformOs, etc.) + method bodies. Real Chrome ships these; their
     absence is universally checked. Vendor research (gbrowser plan
     deep-dive on Cloudflare + DataDome) confirmed both vendors probe
     this shape directly.

  3. Notification.permission aligned to 'default'. The existing inline
     addInitScript already spoofs permissions.query({name:'notifications'})
     to return 'prompt' — Notification.permission being 'denied' while
     Permissions returns 'prompt' is a cross-source inconsistency that
     detectors flag specifically.

  4. Per-install hardware values via GSTACK_HW_CONCURRENCY /
     GSTACK_DEVICE_MEMORY env vars (set by gbd's host_profile.go from
     system_profiler + sysctl). Reporting real host values within the
     Chrome shape avoids the cross-user GBrowser fingerprint cluster
     that hardcoded defaults would create. Codex review #10 flagged
     hardcoding as creating contradictions across Apple Silicon / Intel
     / UA-CH architecture.

  5. Selenium 25-global cleanup + PhantomJS + NightmareJS + Watir +
     Playwright (__pwInitScripts, __playwright__binding__) static-name
     deletion. The inline block continues to handle the dynamic
     cdc_/__webdriver/__selenium/__driver prefixes.

D7 (codex correction) kept: still do NOT fake navigator.plugins or
navigator.languages. Synthesizing those triggers MORE consistency
flags from modern fingerprinters than letting Chromium surface them
natively.

Test coverage:
- 15 new tests in stealth-layer-c.test.ts covering: launch-flag
  exports, script structure, toString-Proxy installs first, every
  spoof present, hardware values interpolated from input (not
  hardcoded), Selenium global cleanup spot-check, no GStackBrowser
  leak in stealth payload, backwards-compat exports preserved.
- All 8 existing stealth-webdriver tests still pass.
- All 2 existing browser-manager-unit tests still pass.

For GBrowser specifically: this is the gstack-side half of Phase 1 / T1
+ T3 + D6 in the anti-detection plan. The gbrowser repo's submodule
pointer bump will land alongside this.

* feat: buildGStackLaunchArgs — Pack 1 cmdline-switch construction for gbrowser

New stealth.ts export that turns the GSTACK_* env vars (already populated
by gbrowser's gbd from host_profile.go) into the --gstack-* cmdline
switches the Pack 1 Chromium patches read at WebGL getParameter,
NavigatorUA::userAgentData, NavigatorConcurrentHardware::hardwareConcurrency,
and NavigatorDeviceMemory::deviceMemory time.

Wired into all three launchArgs sites: launch() (headless), launchHeaded()
(real product path), and handoff() (headless → headed re-launch).

Mapping:
  GSTACK_GPU_VENDOR      → --gstack-gpu-vendor
  GSTACK_GPU_RENDERER    → --gstack-gpu-renderer
  GSTACK_PLATFORM        → --gstack-ua-platform (with mapping:
                            MacARM/MacIntel → macOS, Win32 → Windows,
                            Linux x86_64 → Linux)
  GSTACK_GPU_CHIPSET     → --gstack-ua-model
  GSTACK_HW_CONCURRENCY  → --gstack-hw-concurrency
  GSTACK_DEVICE_MEMORY   → --gstack-device-memory

Each switch is emitted only when its env var is non-empty — empty
values fall through to the patch's "no override" path, which returns
the real Chromium native value. Safe to ship on Chromium builds
without the Pack 1 patches applied (zero behavior change).

The patches themselves live in the gbrowser repo at chromium/patches/
{webgl-vendor-spoof,ua-client-hints-stealth,worker-navigator-stealth}.patch.
Both halves (gstack arg construction + gbrowser C++ patches) must
land + Chromium rebuild before the spoof reaches the WebGL/UA-CH/
hardware accessors. Currently dormant until then.

Tests (browse/test/stealth-layer-c.test.ts):
  7 new buildGStackLaunchArgs cases — empty env, all-populated, partial,
  platform mapping (MacARM/MacIntel/Win32/Linux), unrecognized platform
  fallthrough, vendor-with-spaces escape-safety.
  All 32 stealth/browser-manager tests pass.

For GBrowser specifically: gstack-side half of the Pack 1 flag plumbing.
gbrowser repo will bump the submodule pointer to this commit, then re-run
bun run test/anti-bot/evidence-run.ts to verify creepjs's "33% headless"
score drops after Pack 1 + Chromium rebuild.

* feat: buildGStackLaunchArgs adds --gstack-suppress-prepare-stack-trace

Pack 2 / B11 flag plumbing for the new
error-preparestacktrace-stealth.patch in gbrowser/chromium/patches/.

Always emit --gstack-suppress-prepare-stack-trace unless the caller
explicitly sets GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH=off in the environment. Off by
default in patch behavior (no-op without the C++ patch), so this is
safe on stock Playwright Chromium too.

Closes the Cloudflare canary trick where a page sets
Error.prepareStackTrace and watches for it to fire during CDP
serialization of a logged Error object.

Tests:
  All 33 stealth/browser-manager tests pass. New cases:
  - GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH=off disables suppression
  - empty env still emits the always-on flag (count=1)
  - all-populated env now emits 7 flags (was 6)

* fix(browse): enable Chromium sandbox on headed launchPersistentContext

Mirrors v1.40.0.1 from main lineage (PR #1617). Cherry-picked onto
gbrowser-anti-detection so the GBrowser submodule can consume the fix
without waiting for main to merge.

Playwright auto-adds --no-sandbox whenever chromiumSandbox !== true
(playwright-core/lib/server/chromium/chromium.js:291-292). The headless
chromium.launch() site set the option; the two headed sites
(launchHeaded() and handoff()) did not. Every headed launch on macOS
and Linux showed Chromium's yellow "unsupported command-line flag:
--no-sandbox" infobar.

shouldEnableChromiumSandbox() centralizes the Win32 / CI / CONTAINER /
root heuristic that previously lived only in the headless path's
explicit --no-sandbox push at :225. All three launch sites now use the
helper, and six unit tests pin the policy across darwin, linux, win32,
CI, CONTAINER, and root.

* v1.40.0.2 fix(browse): Cmd+Q on managed Chromium stops triggering supervisor respawn

Three browser.on('disconnected') handlers in browse/src/browser-manager.ts
(launch, launchHeaded, handoff) each exited with a non-zero code on every
disconnect, regardless of cause. Process supervisors that consume our exit
code (gbrowser's gbd HealthMonitor in cmd/gbd/health.go) treated user
Cmd+Q identical to a Chromium crash and respawned with exponential
backoff, so the visible browser kept reappearing after the user closed it.

Add resolveDisconnectCause(browser) that reads the underlying ChildProcess
exitCode + signalCode (waiting up to 1s for the exit event if the
disconnected event fired first). Exit code 0 + no signal = clean user
quit; anything else = crash, signal-kill, or OOM.

Wire the resolver into all three disconnect handlers:
- launch() (headless): clean → exit 0, crash → exit 1 (was always 1)
- launchHeaded() (headed): clean → exit 0, crash → exit 2 (was always 2)
  onDisconnect() cleanup callback still runs in both cases.
- handoff() (re-launch): same as launch() via the helper.

Preserve the per-path crash codes (1 vs 2) so any supervisor that
differentiated headed vs headless crashes keeps working.

Seven new unit tests in browse-manager-unit.test.ts cover the resolver
across already-exited, signal-killed (SIGSEGV / SIGKILL), async exits,
and null-browser inputs.

* fix(browse): apply stealth on every launch path + share automation-artifact cleanup

handoff() built cmdline args but never called applyStealth, so a handed-off
browser had no JS stealth (no webdriver mask, no chrome.* shape, no toString
proxy). And the cdc_/Permissions cleanup shim lived inline in launchHeaded()
only, so headless launch() reported Notification.permission='default' without
the matching permissions.query='prompt' answer — the exact cross-source
inconsistency the shim exists to prevent.

Move the cleanup into AUTOMATION_ARTIFACT_CLEANUP_SCRIPT inside applyStealth so
all three launch paths (launch, launchHeaded, handoff) get identical stealth,
and call applyStealth(newContext) in handoff() before restoreState() navigates.

A static tripwire in browser-manager-unit.test.ts fails CI if any launch path
drops the applyStealth call again.

* fix(browse): make --gstack-suppress-prepare-stack-trace opt-in, not default-on

buildGStackLaunchArgs() pushed the flag unless GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH=off, i.e.
on-by-default — contradicting its own comment ("off by default, only for
gbrowser builds"). The switch is read by a C++ patch that only exists in
gbrowser; on stock Playwright Chromium it is an unknown switch.

Flip to opt-in: emit only when GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH is on/1/true. gbd opts in by
exporting GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH=on; stock installs leave it unset so the flag
never reaches a Chromium that wouldn't understand it. Comment now matches code.

* docs(browse): correct stale stealth comments

The file-level stealth.ts docstring claimed "we DON'T fake navigator.plugins"
while the same file now ships EXTENDED_STEALTH_SCRIPT, which does fake plugins
when GSTACK_STEALTH=extended. Clarify that Layer C (the always-on default)
doesn't fake plugins and the opt-in extended mode does, as the documented
"actively lies, may break sites" escape hatch.

Also fix the launch()/launchHeaded() comments that said "mask navigator.webdriver
only" — applyStealth (Layer C) also restores window.chrome.*, aligns
Notification.permission, and sets per-install hardware.

* test(browse): runtime + extended-mode coverage for the stealth blend

The stealth tests were all static string-shape assertions; nothing executed
the script in a real page. Add real-Chromium runtime checks via applyStealth +
page.evaluate:

- Layer C runtime: window.chrome.* rich shape, Notification.permission='default'
  paired with permissions.query notifications='prompt' (guards the shim now
  running on every path), and patched getters reporting [native code].
- Per-install hardware: navigator.hardwareConcurrency/deviceMemory reflect the
  GSTACK_* env profile.
- Extended-mode blend: navigator.plugins is faked when GSTACK_STEALTH=extended,
  Layer C still wins window.chrome.runtime, and navigator.webdriver stays false
  (own-prop getter survives extended's prototype delete).
- Persistent-context (launchHeaded/handoff) parity now uses a page created
  AFTER applyStealth — the old test checked pages()[0], which predates the init
  script, so webdriver was false only via the launch arg, not Layer C.

* fix(browse): handoff() + launchHeaded() spread the shared STEALTH_LAUNCH_ARGS

handoff() built its launch args from only ['--hide-crash-restore-bubble',
...buildGStackLaunchArgs()], omitting STEALTH_LAUNCH_ARGS — so a handed-off
browser kept the --disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled tell that
launch() and launchHeaded() strip. launchHeaded() also hardcoded the flag as a
literal. Both now spread the shared constant, so the AutomationControlled flag
lives in one place across all three launch paths.

Tripwires: STEALTH_LAUNCH_ARGS spread into >= 3 sites (no inline literal) and
STEALTH_IGNORE_DEFAULT_ARGS wired into both persistent-context paths.

* refactor(browse): drop dead HostProfile.platform, export test internals

HostProfile.platform was set by readHostProfile but never read by
buildStealthScript — the platform spoof is owned by the UA-CH cmdline switch in
buildGStackLaunchArgs (which reads GSTACK_PLATFORM directly). Remove the dead
field. Export readHostProfile and AUTOMATION_ARTIFACT_CLEANUP_SCRIPT so their
clamp/shape invariants can be unit-tested. Correct the stale "25 Selenium
globals" count comment and note the extended cdc_ scan is redundant-but-retained
for standalone use.

* test(browse): cover readHostProfile clamp, toString depth-3, chrome.* calls

Pre-landing review coverage gaps:
- readHostProfile clamps 0/negative/NaN/missing env to 8 (a deviceMemory=0 or
  NaN would be a glaring bot tell) — now asserted.
- toString proxy survives the depth-3 recursion trick
  (fn.toString.toString.toString().includes('[native code]')), the headline
  claim that was only tested at depth-1.
- chrome.csi() and chrome.loadTimes() are invoked (not just typeof-checked) and
  runtime.connect() throws the native-shaped "No matching signature" error.
- AUTOMATION_ARTIFACT_CLEANUP_SCRIPT static shape (cdc_/__webdriver strip +
  notifications->prompt) as a hermetic backup for the live-Chromium pairing test.

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

* fix(browse): recreateContext() re-applies stealth (closes 4th un-stealth path)

useragent and viewport --scale route through recreateContext(), which rebuilds
the BrowserContext via newContext() — a fresh context with no init scripts. It
never called applyStealth, so a routine useragent/viewport-scale command
silently dropped webdriver masking, window.chrome.* shape, hardware spoof, and
the cdc/Permissions cleanup on every restored page. Caught by the cross-model
adversarial review (Codex) after the Claude pass and eng review missed it.

Both the main and fallback paths now call applyStealth before any page is
created. The launch-path tripwire is raised to >= 4 sites and now asserts the
recreateContext() body specifically, so the regression class can't recur.

Also documents the load-bearing trust assumption on buildGStackLaunchArgs /
readHostProfile (GSTACK_* must be gbd-sourced, never page/remote data — the
injection-safety argument depends on it) and the notifications-permission
spoof tradeoff.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.58.3.0)

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

* docs: sync browser stealth docs to Layer C (v1.58.3.0)

BROWSER.md "Stealth scope" still described the default as navigator.webdriver
masking only; Layer C is now the always-on default across all four
context-creation paths. Update the stealth-scope prose, the "What GStack
Browser means" blurb (stock-Chrome UA, no GStackBrowser suffix, captchas can
still get through at the CDP layer), the stealth.ts source-map line, and the
env-vars table (GSTACK_STEALTH, GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH, GSTACK_GPU_*, GSTACK_PLATFORM,
GSTACK_HW_CONCURRENCY/GSTACK_DEVICE_MEMORY + the explicit --gstack-* switches and
ignoreDefaultArgs stripping). Correct the stale "narrows to navigator.webdriver
masking only" premise on the open CDP-patch TODO (the TODO itself stays open —
the CDP-protocol layer is still unaddressed).

+1 66f3a180d3 v1.43.2.0 fix wave: post-Daegu paper-cut — 18 fixes, 28 bisect commits (#1642)
* fix(gbrain-sync): --full produces an empty code index on first run of a new repo

`gbrain reindex-code` only RE-EMBEDS pages that already exist; it never walks
the filesystem. On a freshly-registered source (0 pages), a --full run that
called reindex-code alone found nothing ("No code pages to reindex"), finished
in ~1s, and left the code index permanently empty while still reporting OK.

Fix: --full now runs `sync --strategy code` FIRST to create pages via the file
walk, then runs `reindex-code` to honor the documented "full walk + reindex"
contract for both fresh and populated sources.

* fix(gbrain-local-status): classifier falsely reports broken-db inside repos with their own DATABASE_URL

The freshClassify probe ran `gbrain sources list --json` with the inherited
process env. When the probe ran from inside a repo with its own .env (an app
DATABASE_URL on a different port), Bun autoloaded the project's .env, gbrain
connected to the wrong database, and the classifier reported broken-db on
otherwise-healthy brains.

Fix: route the probe env through `buildGbrainEnv` from lib/gbrain-exec, the
same helper the sync orchestrator uses. DATABASE_URL is seeded from
~/.gbrain/config.json so the result is cwd-independent. The 60s cache can no
longer propagate a poisoned negative to clean directories.

* fix(retro): stale-base + bad-today-anchor pre-flight guard (#1624)

/retro silently produced confidently-wrong output when "today" drifted (model
session-context error) or when origin/<default> was materially behind the
actual remote — git log --since returned zero or near-zero commits and the
narrative was fabricated from nothing.

Adds Step 0.5 with four ordered pre-check branches before any window analysis:

  A. No 'origin' remote → skip with "base freshness not verified" note
  B. Detached HEAD → skip with "base freshness not verified" note
  C. `git fetch origin <default>` fails (offline) → warn, proceed against
     last-known origin/<default>
  D. Fetch succeeded → compare today vs latest origin/<default> commit; if
     gap > window-days, BLOCK with explicit citation of latest-commit date.

Skip paths still proceed to Step 1, but the disclosure is carried into the
retro narrative ("offline run, window not freshness-verified") so the output
is never silently confidently-wrong.

Atomic .tmpl + gen:skill-docs regen commit (T-Codex-3 pattern).

* test(retro): regression for #1624 stale-base pre-flight guard

13 static-invariant tests pinning the four ordered pre-check branches in
retro/SKILL.md.tmpl:Step 0.5:

  A. no-remote skip            — must check origin presence + set verdict
  B. detached-HEAD skip        — must gate behind prior verdict (ordering)
  C. fetch-fail warn           — must match `if !` or `||` shape, gate by verdict
  D. stale-base BLOCK          — must read latest-commit ISO date, cite remediation

Plus a disclosure-survives-to-narrative invariant: skip-path verdicts must be
named in prose so the retro output carries the cited reason rather than
silently misreporting.

Failing build if Step 0.5 is removed, branches re-ordered (no-remote no longer
wins), or the BLOCK message stops citing today/latest-commit/remediation
path.

* fix(gbrain-sync): configurable timeouts + resume from gbrain checkpoint (#1611)

The memory and code stages hardcoded a 35-min spawn timeout. On brains with
~2000+ staged files, /sync-gbrain --full reliably SIGTERM'd the child at
exactly 35 minutes with exit 143. gbrain left ~/.gbrain/import-checkpoint.json
pointing at the staging dir, but gstack-memory-ingest's SIGTERM handler
unconditionally cleaned the dir up — so the next run found a checkpoint
pointing at nothing and restaged from scratch, repeating the SIGTERM forever.

Three changes:

1. Configurable timeouts via env (bounds 60_000ms - 86_400_000ms, default
   2_100_000ms = 35min unchanged):
     GSTACK_SYNC_MEMORY_TIMEOUT_MS
     GSTACK_SYNC_CODE_TIMEOUT_MS
   Out-of-range or non-numeric values warn and fall back to the default.

2. SIGTERM in gstack-memory-ingest no longer always cleans up the staging
   dir. If gbrain has written ~/.gbrain/import-checkpoint.json pointing at
   the active staging dir, the dir is PRESERVED for next-run resume.
   Otherwise (no checkpoint pointing here, crash before gbrain ever
   touched it) it's cleaned up as before.

3. Next /sync-gbrain run detects gbrain's checkpoint via decideResume() in
   gstack-gbrain-sync.ts:
     - no checkpoint               → fresh ingest pass
     - checkpoint + staging ok     → set GSTACK_INGEST_RESUME_DIR; child
                                      reuses staging dir and skips
                                      writeStaged; gbrain import resumes
                                      from processedIndex+1

Reuses gbrain's own checkpoint as the source of truth (D1 — no double-store
state). Detect-then-fallback semantics per C1.

* test(gbrain-sync): regression for #1611 timeouts + resume

19 tests across three surfaces:

  - resolveStageTimeoutMs (10 tests): undefined/empty → default; non-numeric,
    zero, negative, below-floor, above-ceiling → warn + default; at-floor,
    at-ceiling, valid mid-range → accepted as-is.

  - decideResume (6 tests): no checkpoint, corrupt JSON, checkpoint + staging
    ok, checkpoint + staging missing, checkpoint with no dir, checkpoint with
    empty dir.

  - SIGTERM staging preservation (3 static invariants): memory-ingest signal
    handler must check stagingDirIsCheckpointed BEFORE cleanup; preserve
    branch must come before cleanup branch (ordering); orchestrator must
    pass GSTACK_INGEST_RESUME_DIR to the grandchild on resume.

Also threads process.env.HOME through readGbrainCheckpoint and
stagingDirIsCheckpointed so tests can redirect home. os.homedir() caches
at process start and ignores later mutation, so the env override is the
only reliable test injection point.

Failing build if the timeout bounds are removed, the resume detection
short-circuits incorrectly, or the SIGTERM handler regresses to
unconditional cleanup.

* fix(review): pre-emit verification gate kills Django-shape FP class (#1539)

External user filed 4/8 false positives on a /review run against a Django +
DRF + PostgreSQL repo (Sprint 2.5). Every FP class was the same shape:
"resolvable in <5 minutes by viewing the actual code or running a simple
grep" — fields that don't exist on the model, dict.get()-might-be-None on a
form that returns {}-initialized cleaned_data, standard ORM save behavior
called out as data loss.

Extends the Confidence Calibration resolver (consumed by review, cso,
plan-eng-review, ship) with a Pre-emit verification gate:

  Every finding MUST quote the specific code line that motivates it
  (file:line + verbatim text). If the reviewer cannot produce the quote,
  the finding is unverified — its confidence is forced to 4-5 so the
  existing "Suppress from main report" rule fires automatically. The
  finding still goes to the appendix for calibration audit, but the user
  does not see it in the critical-pass output.

Reuses the existing suppression mechanism — no new code path. The FP
classes the gate kills are enumerated in the resolver text so reviewers
see the named patterns.

Framework-meta nudge included for Django Meta, Rails associations,
SQLAlchemy relationships, TypeORM decorators, Sequelize init, Prisma
generated client — the reviewer must quote the meta-construct that
generates the symbol, not just grep for the literal name. Deeper
framework-aware ORM verification (model introspection, migration-history-
aware checks) is deliberately deferred to a future wave per T-Codex-2.

Atomic .tmpl-equivalent (resolver) edit + gen:skill-docs regen commit
per T-Codex-3.

* test(review): regression for #1539 pre-emit verification gate

12 tests pinning the gate behavior:

  - Resolver emits the gate header + #1539 reference
  - Gate requires quoting file:line + verbatim text
  - Unverified findings forced to confidence 4-5 (auto-suppress via
    existing <7-rule, no new mechanism)
  - Framework-meta nudge names Django, Rails, SQLAlchemy, TypeORM,
    Sequelize, Prisma
  - Deferred design doc reference present (1539-framework-aware-review.md)
  - Four named FP classes from #1539 enumerated:
      * field doesn't exist on model
      * dict.get() might be None
      * save() might lose fields
      * update_fields might miss X
  - All four downstream SKILL.md consumers (review, cso, plan-eng-review,
    ship) carry the gate text after gen:skill-docs
  - Existing confidence 9-10 'Show normally' + 3-4 'Suppress' rows
    unchanged (regression on existing behavior)

Failing build if the gate is removed, the suppression mechanism is
re-invented separately, the framework-meta nudge drops a framework, or
gen:skill-docs stops propagating the gate to consumers.

* fix(config): expose explain_level default

* fix(benchmark): parse positional prompt after flags

* fix(artifacts): reject malformed remote paths

* fix(learnings): preserve current entries in cross-project search

* fix(setup): register root gstack slash alias

* fix(memory): probe gitleaks without shell builtin

* fix(gbrain-lib): pin LC_ALL=C in varname validator (macOS locale guard)

In many macOS shells the default locale (e.g. en_US.UTF-8) makes bash
glob brackets like `[A-Z]` match lowercase letters too, so the existing
`case "$name" in [A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*)` branch lets names like `lower-case`
through validation. The function then trips `printf -v "$varname"` and
`export "$varname"` with `not a valid identifier` errors that surface
mid-prompt, which is exactly what the validator was supposed to prevent.

Pinning `LC_ALL=C` inside the function gives ASCII-only bracket semantics
on both macOS and Linux, matching the documented `[A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*`
contract. Declared `local` so it doesn't leak to the calling shell —
`gstack-gbrain-lib.sh` is documented as a sourced helper, so a bare
assignment would mutate the caller's locale for the rest of the process
(silently affecting downstream `sort`, `tr`, locale-aware globs in the
same shell, etc.).

The existing regression test
`test/gbrain-lib-verify.test.ts:'rejects invalid var names'`
already covers the macOS repro shape (passes `lower-case` and expects
the validator to reject + emit `invalid var name`). On Linux CI the
test silently passed because `LC_ALL=C` is the typical default; on
macOS dev boxes it fails.

Verified:
- `bun test test/gbrain-lib-verify.test.ts`: 22 pass, 0 fail (on macOS).
- `_gstack_gbrain_validate_varname lower-case; echo $?` → 2.
- `_gstack_gbrain_validate_varname FOO_BAR; echo $?` → 0.
- Caller's LC_ALL preserved across calls (confirmed via sourced bash).

* fix(land-and-deploy): detect merged PR after gh failure

After `gh pr merge` exits non-zero, the PR may already be MERGED server-side
(concurrent merge landed, or local cleanup phase failed AFTER the merge
succeeded). Calling `gh pr merge` a second time then errors with a confusing
"already merged" — and worse, the deploy workflow never runs because we
stopped on the first failure.

Adds a Post-failure PR-state check (§4a-postfail) that runs after ANY
non-zero exit from `gh pr merge`:

  - state == MERGED  → record MERGE_PATH=direct, OFFER (don't force)
                       stale-worktree cleanup on the base branch with
                       uncommitted-work guard, proceed to §4a CI watch
  - state == OPEN    → check autoMergeRequest; if non-null treat as
                       merge-queue wait; if null surface both errors and STOP
  - state == CLOSED  → STOP

Hard invariant: never retry `gh pr merge` after a non-zero exit. Server
state is authoritative.

Re-authored from PR #1620 into land-and-deploy/SKILL.md.tmpl (the source of
truth) instead of the generated SKILL.md, so the next gen:skill-docs run
preserves the change. Original diff by @davidfoy via #1620.

* fix: detect PgBouncer transaction-mode pooler and set GBRAIN_PREPARE=true (#1435)

When gbrain connects through a PgBouncer transaction-mode pooler (port
6543), it auto-disables prepared statements. This breaks `gbrain search`
silently — the /sync-gbrain capability check fails and the GBrain Search
Guidance block never gets written to CLAUDE.md.

Three-layer fix:

1. **lib/gbrain-exec.ts** — `buildGbrainEnv()` now detects port 6543 in
   the effective DATABASE_URL and sets `GBRAIN_PREPARE=true` in the env
   passed to every gbrain spawn. This is the single chokepoint — all
   gstack gbrain invocations inherit the fix. Caller can opt out with
   `GBRAIN_PREPARE=false`.

2. **sync-gbrain/SKILL.md{,.tmpl}** — capability check now exports
   `GBRAIN_PREPARE=true` explicitly and retries search up to 3x with 1s
   delay for async index propagation under connection pooling.

3. **bin/gstack-gbrain-detect** — surfaces `gbrain_pooler_mode` field
   ("transaction" | "session" | null) in the preamble probe JSON so
   /setup-gbrain and /sync-gbrain can advise users about pooler state.

Closes #1435

* fix(supabase-provision): rewrite transaction/6543 -> session/5432 for new projects

- Single-object pooler API responses default to transaction-mode at 6543,
  but the shared pooler tenant on new projects only listens on session/5432
- Add a `pool_mode == transaction && db_port == 6543` rewrite + stderr note
- Escape hatch via `GSTACK_SUPABASE_TRUST_API_PORT=1` for forward-compat
- 5 new tests covering rewrite, no-op shapes, env opt-out, array path

Fixes #1301.

* fix(browse): GSTACK_CHROMIUM_NO_SANDBOX opt-out for Ubuntu/AppArmor (#1562)

Ubuntu/AppArmor configurations often block unprivileged Chromium sandboxing
for headless agent sessions even for normal users — /qa hangs without
--no-sandbox. The kernel policy denies the unprivileged user namespaces
Chromium needs.

Adds GSTACK_CHROMIUM_NO_SANDBOX=1 as an explicit user override that forces
the sandbox off without changing the default for everyone else. Re-authored
from PR #1562 onto v1.42.2.0's shouldEnableChromiumSandbox() helper —
purely additive, preserves the headed-launch sandbox-on-by-default behavior
that v1.42.2.0 shipped to kill the --no-sandbox yellow infobar.

Three new regression tests cover:
  - linux + override=1 → false (the named use case)
  - darwin + override=1 → false (env wins on any platform)
  - override=0 → does NOT trigger (must be exactly "1")

* fix(browse): mirror isCustomChromium() guard in headless launch()

When BROWSE_EXTENSIONS_DIR is set alongside GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH pointing
at a baked-extension build (GBrowser / GStack Browser), the headless launch()
path was unconditionally adding --disable-extensions-except / --load-extension.
This causes the same ServiceWorkerState::SetWorkerId DCHECK crash that
launchHeaded() already guards against via isCustomChromium().

Mirror the existing guard: skip --load-extension flags when isCustomChromium()
returns true; always push the off-screen window geometry args.

* fix(browse): daemonize macOS/Linux server via setsid()

`Bun.spawn().unref()` only releases the child from Bun's event loop —
it does NOT call setsid(). The spawned bun server inherits the spawning
shell's process session. When the CLI runs inside a session-managed shell
that exits shortly after the CLI returns (Claude Code's per-command Bash
sandbox, Conductor, OpenClaw, CI step runners), the session leader's exit
sends SIGHUP to every PID in the session — killing the bun server and
its Chromium grandchildren within seconds of a successful `connect`.

Setting `BROWSE_PARENT_PID=0` (already done by the `connect` command and
pair-agent) disables the parent-process watchdog but does NOT save the
server here: SIGHUP from session teardown still reaps it.

Replace the macOS/Linux `Bun.spawn().unref()` with Node's
`child_process.spawn({ detached: true })`, which calls setsid() and
gives the server its own session leader role (PPID=1, STAT=Ss). This
mirrors the Windows path's rationale (PR #191 by @fqueiro) — same root
cause, different OS surface.

Verified on macOS in Conductor: pre-fix the server dies ~10–15s after
connect across separate Bash invocations; post-fix the same PID stays
alive (PPID=1, SESS=0, STAT=Ss) and responds to `status`/`goto`/
`snapshot` across many separate shell calls.

The `proc?.stderr` startup-error branch is removed since both platforms
now spawn with `stdio: 'ignore'`; both fall through to the on-disk
`browse-startup-error.log` written by `server.ts`'s start().catch.

* fix(design): bump image-gen timeout to 240s + pin gpt-image-2

The design binary calls /v1/responses (gpt-4o + image_generation tool,
quality:high, 1536x1024) but aborted the request after a hardcoded 120s.
That class of request consistently takes ~140-160s end-to-end, so every
generate/variants/evolve/iterate call aborted before the image returned.

In /design-shotgun this cascades: Step 3c launches N parallel agents,
each calling `$D generate`, each aborts at 120s and retries, all fail,
the comparison board never opens — the skill appears to hang indefinitely.

Reproduced the exact API call with a longer budget: HTTP 200, valid
image, 143.5s. A real /design-shotgun run after the patch generated 3
variants in parallel at 150.0s / 161.0s / 152.1s, all exit 0 — note the
161s case, which a naive 150s bump would still have failed.

- Bump AbortController timeout 120_000 -> 240_000 in generate.ts,
  variants.ts, evolve.ts, iterate.ts (both call sites)
- Pin the image_generation tool to model "gpt-image-2"

design/test/variants-retry-after.test.ts: 5 pass, 0 fail. The
feedback-roundtrip.test.ts failures are a pre-existing browse-module
breakage (session.clearLoadedHtml undefined), unrelated to this change.

* test: fill coverage gaps for PRs #1606, #1612, #1620

Three cherry-picked PRs in this wave landed without unit-test coverage for
the specific invariant they protect:

  #1606 (@andrey-esipov) — LC_ALL=C pin in _gstack_gbrain_validate_varname
    8 tests by sourcing bin/gstack-gbrain-lib.sh and calling the validator
    directly. Asserts uppercase/digit/underscore accepted, lowercase
    REJECTED (the macOS-locale regression case), mixed-case rejected,
    LC_ALL=C scoping is local (doesn't leak to caller).

  #1612 (@bharat2913) — setsid daemonize via Node child_process.spawn
    4 static-invariant tests on browse/src/cli.ts. The actual setsid
    syscall is hard to assert without a real spawn, so we pin the source
    shape: nodeSpawn imported from child_process; non-Windows branch uses
    nodeSpawn(...) with detached:true and .unref(); comment documents
    setsid/SIGHUP root cause; Bun.spawn() is NOT used on macOS/Linux.

  #1620 (@davidfoy, re-authored into .tmpl per A3) — §4a-postfail
    12 static invariants on land-and-deploy/SKILL.md.tmpl + generated
    SKILL.md. Pins all three state branches (MERGED/OPEN/CLOSED), the
    authoritative state query, the merge-SHA capture, non-destructive
    worktree cleanup with uncommitted-work guard, autoMergeRequest probe
    on OPEN, hard "never retry gh pr merge" rule, and atomic regen
    propagation.

Failing build if any of the three invariants regresses.

Note: gbrain-lib-validate-varname.test.ts also surfaces a pre-existing
glob-pattern overpermissiveness (hyphens + dots accepted) — not in
#1606's scope; documented inline as a separate cleanup target.

* test(learnings): align injection-prevention tests with PR #1619 tagged-line shape

PR #1619 (preserve current entries in cross-project search) refactored
gstack-learnings-search to tag rows inline (`current\t<json>` vs
`cross\t<json>`) instead of filtering inside the bun block via
process.env.GSTACK_SEARCH_SLUG. The bun block no longer reads SLUG or
CROSS env vars — it parses the per-line tag and sets a per-entry
_crossProject flag.

The pre-existing test/learnings-injection.test.ts still asserted on the
old SLUG + CROSS env var shape. Updates:

  - Remove the SLUG env var assertion (no longer set on bash command line)
  - Remove the bun-block CROSS env var assertion (block reads the tag now,
    not the env)
  - Add a new positive assertion that the bun block parses the tag
    (sourceTag | tabIndex | crossProject)
  - Keep the shell-interpolation safety assertion unchanged — that's
    independent of the SLUG refactor

The CROSS env var is still SET on the bash command line (it controls
whether the cross-project find runs at all), but the bun child no longer
reads it. The existing "env vars set on bash command line" test continues
to pin that.

* test(fixtures): regenerate ship-SKILL.md golden baselines

ship/SKILL.md consumes the Confidence Calibration resolver via the
preamble pipeline. This wave's #1539 pre-emit verification gate extends
the resolver text, which propagated to ship/SKILL.md via gen:skill-docs.
The golden fixtures in test/fixtures/golden/ matched the pre-#1539 shape
and failed the host-config regression check.

Refreshes claude-ship-SKILL.md, codex-ship-SKILL.md, and factory-ship-SKILL.md
to match the current generated output. Matches the Daegu wave's bisect
commit 23 ("test(fixtures): regenerate ship-SKILL.md golden baselines").

* test(gbrain-detect): include gbrain_pooler_mode in schema regression (PR #1591)

PR #1591 (PgBouncer transaction-mode detection, @mikeangstadt) added
gbrain_pooler_mode to the gstack-gbrain-detect JSON output but did not
update the schema regression check in
test/gstack-gbrain-detect-mcp-mode.test.ts. Adding the key in alphabetical
order matching the rest of the schema array. Downstream sync-gbrain ignores
unknown keys, so this is forward-compat.

Without this, the test fails with a diff:
  + "gbrain_pooler_mode"
because keys is the actual set returned and the expected array was
pre-#1591.

* chore(release): v1.43.0.0 — post-Daegu paper-cut wave

Bumps VERSION 1.42.2.0 → 1.43.0.0 (MINOR per scale-aware bump rules: new
env-var surface GSTACK_SYNC_*_TIMEOUT_MS + GSTACK_CHROMIUM_NO_SANDBOX,
behavior expansion in browse/src/browser-manager.ts headless launch,
three skill-template prompt changes affecting /retro, /review,
/sync-gbrain).

CHANGELOG entry leads with what stopped happening: /retro stops
fabricating retros against stale bases, /sync-gbrain stops SIGTERM-looping
35-min restarts on big brains, /review stops shipping framework FPs the
reviewer never grep'd.

18 fixes total — 15 community PRs + 3 self-filed silent-failure issues
(#1624, #1611, #1539) — in one bundled PR with 26 bisect commits and 7
new regression test files. Every wave-touched test file passes in
isolation.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.7 029356e1f0 v1.42.2.0 fix wave: browse launch hardening (2 bug fixes + headed exit-code wiring) (#1629)
* v1.42.1.1 fix wave: browse launch hardening (2 bug fixes + headed exit-code wiring)

Bundles two browse launch-path bug fixes plus the missing exit-code wiring
that made the second fix actually work end-to-end.

PR #1617 — Chromium sandbox policy at all 3 launch sites
- shouldEnableChromiumSandbox() centralizes the Win32 / CI / CONTAINER /
  root heuristic that previously lived only in the headless launch path.
- launch(), launchHeaded() / launchPersistentContext(), and handoff() now
  share the policy so Playwright stops auto-adding --no-sandbox on every
  headed launch and the yellow "unsupported command-line flag" infobar
  disappears on macOS and Linux dev.

PR #1626 — clean Cmd+Q stops triggering supervisor respawn
- resolveDisconnectCause(browser) reads the underlying Chromium
  ChildProcess exitCode + signalCode (with a 1s wait for an async exit
  event) to distinguish clean user-quit from crash.
- handleChromiumDisconnect(browser) dispatches the headless launch()
  disconnect path: clean → exit(0), crash → exit(1).
- launchHeaded() disconnect handler resolves cause inline and computes
  exitCode = 0 (clean) | 2 (crash) before forwarding to onDisconnect.
- handoff() disconnect handler uses the same shared helper.

Codex-caught propagation fix (this commit, not in either source PR)
- BrowserManager.onDisconnect signature widened to accept an exitCode
  argument. Without this, launchHeaded's locally-computed exit code was
  dropped before reaching server.ts.
- browse/src/server.ts:688 — onDisconnect callback now forwards the
  resolved code: (code) => activeShutdown?.(code ?? 2). The ?? 2
  preserves legacy crash semantics for callers that invoke onDisconnect
  without an explicit code.

Tests
- browse/test/browser-manager-unit.test.ts goes from 2 → 17 tests.
- 6 new tests pin shouldEnableChromiumSandbox across darwin / linux /
  win32 / CI / CONTAINER / root.
- 7 new tests pin resolveDisconnectCause across already-exited,
  async-exit, SIGSEGV, SIGKILL, and null-browser.
- 2 new tests (this commit) pin the onDisconnect(exitCode) propagation
  contract including the exact server.ts forwarding callback shape so a
  refactor that drops the forward fails CI before the user-visible
  respawn bug returns.

Refs PRs #1617, #1626; companion gbrowser PR #23.

* feat: CDP connect — control real Chrome/Comet via Playwright

Add `connectCDP()` to BrowserManager: connects to a running browser via
Chrome DevTools Protocol. All existing browse commands work unchanged
through Playwright's abstraction layer.

- chrome-launcher.ts: browser discovery, CDP probe, auto-relaunch with rollback
- browser-manager.ts: connectCDP(), mode guards (close/closeTab/recreateContext/handoff),
  auto-reconnect on browser restart, getRefMap() for extension API
- server.ts: CDP branch in start(), /health gains mode field, /refs endpoint,
  idle timer only resets on /command (not passive endpoints)

* feat: browse connect/disconnect/focus CLI commands

- connect: pre-server command that discovers browser, starts server in CDP mode
- disconnect: drops CDP connection, restarts in headless mode
- focus: brings browser window to foreground via osascript (macOS)
- status: now shows Mode: cdp | launched | headed
- startServer() accepts extra env vars for CDP URL/port passthrough

- Background worker: health polling, SSE relay, ref fetching
- Popup: port config, connection status, side panel launcher
- Content script: floating ref panel with @ref badges

Conductor API proposal (docs/designs/CONDUCTOR_SESSION_API.md):
- SSE endpoint for full Claude Code session mirroring in Side Panel
- Discovery via HTTP endpoint (not filesystem — extensions can't read files)

TODOS.md: add $B watch, multi-agent tabs, cross-platform CDP, Web Store publishing.

* fix: detect Conductor runtime, skip osascript quit for sandboxed apps

macOS App Management blocks Electron apps (Conductor) from quitting
other apps via osascript. Now detects the runtime environment:
- terminal/claude-code/codex: can manage apps freely
- conductor: prints manual restart instructions + polls for 60s

detectRuntime() checks env vars and parent process. When Chrome needs
restart but we can't quit it, prints step-by-step instructions and
waits for the user to restart Chrome with --remote-debugging-port.

Conductor sessions also have ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (which was matching claude-code).

* feat: connection status pill — floating indicator when gstack controls Chrome

Small pill in bottom-right corner of every page: "● gstack · 3 refs"
Shows when connected via CDP, fades to 30% opacity after 3s, full on hover.
Disappears entirely when disconnected.

Background worker now notifies content scripts on connect/disconnect state
changes so the pill appears/disappears without polling.

* fix: Chrome requires --user-data-dir for remote debugging

Chrome refuses --remote-debugging-port without an explicit --user-data-dir.
Add userDataDir to BrowserBinary registry (macOS Application Support paths)
and pass it in both auto-launch and manual restart instructions.

Fix double-quoting in CLI manual restart instructions.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: Chrome must be fully quit before launching with --remote-debugging-port

Chrome refuses to enable CDP on its default profile when another instance
is running (even with explicit --user-data-dir). The only reliable path:
fully quit Chrome first, then relaunch with the flag.

Updated instructions to emphasize this clearly with verification step.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: bin/chrome-cdp — quit Chrome and relaunch with CDP in one command

Quits Chrome gracefully, waits for full exit, relaunches with
--remote-debugging-port, polls until CDP is ready. Usage: chrome-cdp [port]

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: use Playwright channel:chrome instead of broken connectOverCDP

Playwright's connectOverCDP hangs with Chrome 146 due to CDP protocol
version mismatch. Switch to channel:'chrome' which uses Playwright's
native pipe protocol to launch the system Chrome binary directly.

This is simpler and more reliable:
- No CDP port discovery needed
- No --remote-debugging-port or --user-data-dir hassles
- $B connect just works — launches real Chrome headed window
- All Playwright APIs (snapshot, click, fill) work unchanged

bin/chrome-cdp updated with symlinked profile approach (kept for
manual CDP use cases, but $B connect no longer needs it).

* feat: green border + gstack label on controlled Chrome window

Injects a 2px green border and small "gstack" label on every page
loaded in the controlled Chrome window via context.addInitScript().
Users can instantly tell which Chrome window Claude controls.

Also fixes close() for channel:chrome mode (uses browser.close()
not browser.disconnect() which doesn't exist).

* chore: cleanup chrome-launcher runtime detection, remove puppeteer-core dep

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* style(design): redesign controlled Chrome indicator

Replace crude green border + label with polished indicator:
- 2px shimmer gradient at top edge (green→cyan→green, 3s loop)
- Floating pill bottom-right with frosted glass bg, fades to 25%
  opacity after 4s so it doesn't compete with page content
- prefers-reduced-motion disables shimmer animation
- Much more subtle — looks like a developer tool, not broken CSS

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: document real browser mode + Chrome extension in BROWSER.md and README.md

BROWSER.md: new sections for connect/disconnect/focus commands,
Chrome extension Side Panel install, CDP-aware skills, activity streaming.
Updated command reference table, key components, env vars, source map.

README.md: updated /browse description, added "Real browser mode" to
What's New section.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: step-by-step Chrome extension install guide in BROWSER.md

Replace terse bullet points with numbered walkthrough covering:
developer mode toggle, load unpacked, macOS file picker tip (Cmd+Shift+G),
pin extension, configure port, open side panel. Added troubleshooting section.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add Cmd+Shift+. tip for hidden folders in macOS file picker

macOS hides folders starting with . by default. Added both shortcuts:
Cmd+Shift+G (paste path directly) and Cmd+Shift+. (show hidden files).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: integrate hidden folder tips into the install flow naturally

Move Cmd+Shift+G and Cmd+Shift+. tips inline with the file picker
step instead of as a separate tip block after it.

* feat: auto-load Chrome extension when $B connect launches Chrome

Extension auto-loads via --load-extension flag — no manual chrome://extensions
install needed. findExtensionPath() checks repo root, global install, and dev
paths. Also adds bin/gstack-extension helper for manual install in regular
Chrome, and rewrites BROWSER.md install docs with auto-load as primary path.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: /connect-chrome skill — one command to launch Chrome with Side Panel

New skill that runs $B connect, verifies the connection, guides the user
to open the Side Panel, and demos the live activity feed. Extension auto-loads
via --load-extension so no manual chrome://extensions install needed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: use launchPersistentContext for Chrome extension loading

Playwright's chromium.launch() silently ignores --load-extension.
Switch to launchPersistentContext with ignoreDefaultArgs to remove
--disable-extensions flag. Use bundled Chromium (real Chrome blocks
unpacked extensions). Fixed port 34567 for CDP mode so the extension
auto-connects.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sync extension to DESIGN.md — amber accent, zinc neutrals, grain texture

Import design system from gstack-website. Update all extension colors:
green (#4ade80) → amber (#F59E0B/#FBBF24), zinc gray neutrals, grain
texture overlay. Regenerate icons as amber "G" monogram on dark background.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sidebar chat with Claude Code — icon opens side panel directly

Replace popup flyout with direct side panel open on icon click. Primary
UI is now a chat interface that sends messages to Claude Code via file
queue. Activity/Refs tabs moved behind a debug toggle in the footer.
Command bar with history, auto-poll for responses, amber design system.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sidebar agent — Claude-powered chat backend via file queue

Add /sidebar-command, /sidebar-response, and /sidebar-chat endpoints
to the browse server. sidebar-agent.ts watches the command queue file,
spawns claude -p with browse context for each message, and streams
responses back to the sidebar chat.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: remove duplicate gstack pill overlay, hide crash restore bubble

The addInitScript indicator and the extension's content script were both
injecting bottom-right pills, causing duplicates. Remove the pill from
addInitScript (extension handles it). Replace --restore-last-session with
--hide-crash-restore-bubble to suppress the "Chromium didn't shut down
correctly" dialog.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: state file authority — CDP server cannot be silently replaced

Hardens the connect/disconnect lifecycle:
- ensureServer() refuses to auto-start headless when CDP server is alive
- $B connect does full cleanup: SIGTERM → 2s → SIGKILL, profile locks, state
- shutdown() cleans Chromium SingletonLock/Socket/Cookie files
- uncaughtException/unhandledRejection handlers do emergency cleanup

This prevents the bug where a headless server overwrites the CDP server's
state file, causing $B commands to hit the wrong browser.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sidebar agent streaming events + session state management

Enhance sidebar-agent.ts with:
- Live streaming of claude -p events (tool_use, text, result) to sidebar
- Session state file for BROWSE_STATE_FILE propagation to claude subprocess
- Improved logging (stderr, exit codes, event types)
- stdin.end() to prevent claude waiting for input
- summarizeToolInput() with path shortening for compact sidebar display

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: sidebar chat UI — streaming events, agent status, reconnect retry

Sidebar panel improvements:
- Chat tab renders streaming agent events (tool_use, text, result)
- Thinking dots animation while agent processes
- Agent error display with styled error blocks
- tryConnect() with 2s retry loop for initial connection
- Debug tabs (Activity/Refs) hidden behind gear toggle
- Clear chat button
- Compact tool call display with path shortening

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: server-integrated sidebar agent with sessions and message queue

Move the sidebar agent from a separate bun process into server.ts:
- Agent spawns claude -p directly when messages arrive via /sidebar-command
- In-memory chat buffer backed by per-session chat.jsonl on disk
- Session manager: create, load, persist, list sessions
- Message queue (cap 5) with agent status tracking (idle/processing/hung)
- Stop/kill endpoints with queue dismiss support
- /health now returns agent status + session info
- All sidebar endpoints require Bearer auth
- Agent killed on server shutdown
- 120s timeout detects hung claude processes

Eliminates: file-queue polling, separate sidebar-agent.ts process,
stale auth tokens, state file conflicts between processes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: extension auth + token flow for server-integrated agent

Update Chrome extension to use Bearer auth on all sidebar endpoints:
- background.js captures auth token from /health, exposes via getToken msg
- background.js sets openPanelOnActionClick for direct side panel access
- sidepanel.js gets token from background, sends in all fetch headers
- Health broadcasts include token so sidebar auto-authenticates
- Removes popup from manifest — icon click opens side panel directly

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: self-healing sidebar — reconnect banner, state machine, copy button

Sidebar UI now handles disconnection gracefully:
- Connection state machine: connected → reconnecting → dead
- Amber pulsing banner during reconnect (2s retry, 30 attempts)
- Red "Server offline" banner with Reconnect + Copy /connect-chrome buttons
- Green "Reconnected" toast that fades after 3s on successful reconnect
- Copy button lets user paste /connect-chrome into any Claude Code session

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: crash handling — save session, kill agent, distinct exit codes

Hardened shutdown/crash behavior:
- Browser disconnect exits with code 2 (distinct from crash code 1)
- emergencyCleanup kills agent subprocess and saves session state
- Clean shutdown saves session before exit (chat history persists)
- Clear user message on browser disconnect: "Run $B connect to reconnect"

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: worktree-per-session isolation for sidebar agent

Each sidebar session gets an isolated git worktree so the agent's file
operations don't conflict with the user's working directory:
- createWorktree() creates detached HEAD worktree in ~/.gstack/worktrees/
- Falls back to main cwd for non-git repos or on creation failure
- Handles collision cleanup from prior crashes
- removeWorktree() cleans up on session switch and shutdown
- worktreePath persisted in session.json

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(qa): ISSUE-001 — disconnect blocked by CDP guard in ensureServer

$B disconnect was routed through ensureServer() which refused to start a
headless server when a CDP state file existed. Disconnect is now handled
before ensureServer() (like connect), with force-kill + cleanup fallback
when the CDP server is unresponsive.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: resolve claude binary path for daemon-spawned agent

The browse server runs as a daemon and may not inherit the user's shell
PATH. Add findClaudeBin() that checks ~/.local/bin/claude (standard
install location), which claude, and common system paths. Shows a clear
error in the sidebar chat if claude CLI is not found.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: resolve claude symlinks + check Conductor bundled binary

posix_spawn fails on symlinks in compiled bun binaries. Now:
- Checks Conductor app's bundled binary first (not a symlink)
- Scans ~/.local/share/claude/versions/ for direct versioned binaries
- Uses fs.realpathSync() to resolve symlinks before spawning

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: compiled bun binary cannot posix_spawn — use external agent process

Compiled bun binaries fail posix_spawn on ALL executables (even /bin/bash).
The server now writes to an agent queue file, and a separate non-compiled
bun process (sidebar-agent.ts) reads the queue, spawns claude, and POSTs
events back via /sidebar-agent/event.

Changes:
- server.ts: spawnClaude writes to queue file instead of spawning directly
- server.ts: new /sidebar-agent/event endpoint for agent → server relay
- server.ts: fix result event field name (event.text vs event.result)
- sidebar-agent.ts: rewritten to poll queue file, relay events via HTTP
- cli.ts: $B connect auto-starts sidebar-agent as non-compiled bun process

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: loading spinner on sidebar open while connecting to server

Shows an amber spinner with "Connecting..." when the sidebar first opens,
replacing the empty state. After the first successful /sidebar-chat poll:
- If chat history exists: renders it immediately
- If no history: shows the welcome message

Prevents the jarring empty-then-populated flash on sidebar open.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: zero-friction side panel — auto-open on install, pill is clickable

Three changes to eliminate manual side panel setup:
- Auto-open side panel on extension install/update (onInstalled listener)
- gstack pill (bottom-right) is now clickable — opens the side panel
- Pill has pointer-events: auto so clicks always register (was: none)

User no longer needs to find the puzzle piece icon, pin the extension,
or know the side panel exists. It opens automatically on first launch
and can be re-opened by clicking the floating gstack pill.

* refactor: kill CDP naming, delete chrome-launcher.ts dead code

The connectCDP() method and connectionMode: 'cdp' naming was a legacy
artifact — real Chrome was tried but failed (silently blocks
--load-extension), so the implementation already used Playwright's
bundled Chromium via launchPersistentContext(). The naming was
misleading.

Changes:
- Delete chrome-launcher.ts (361 LOC) — only import was in unreachable
  attemptReconnect() method
- Delete dead attemptReconnect() and reconnecting field
- Delete preExistingTabIds (was for protecting real Chrome tabs we
  never connect to)
- Rename connectCDP() → launchHeaded()
- Rename connectionMode: 'cdp' → 'headed' across all files
- Replace BROWSE_CDP_URL/BROWSE_CDP_PORT env vars with BROWSE_HEADED=1
- Regenerate SKILL.md files for updated command descriptions
- Move BrowserManager unit tests to browser-manager-unit.test.ts

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: converge handoff into connect — extension loads on handoff

Handoff now uses launchPersistentContext() with extension auto-loading,
same as the connect/launchHeaded() path. This means when the agent
gets stuck (2FA, CAPTCHA) and hands off to the user, the Chrome
extension + side panel are available automatically.

Before: handoff used chromium.launch() + newContext() — no extension
After: handoff uses chromium.launchPersistentContext() — extension loads

Also sets connectionMode to 'headed' and disables dialog auto-accept
on handoff, matching connect behavior.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: gate sidebar chat behind --chat flag

$B connect (default): headed Chromium + extension with Activity + Refs
tabs only. No separate agent spawned. Clean, no confusion.

$B connect --chat: same + Chat tab with standalone claude -p agent.
Shows experimental banner: "Standalone mode — this is a separate
agent from your workspace."

Implementation:
- cli.ts: parse --chat, set BROWSE_SIDEBAR_CHAT env, conditionally
  spawn sidebar-agent
- server.ts: gate /sidebar-* routes behind chatEnabled, return 403
  when disabled, include chatEnabled in /health response
- sidepanel.js: applyChatEnabled() hides/shows Chat tab + banner
- background.js: forward chatEnabled from health response
- sidepanel.html/css: experimental banner with amber styling

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: file drop relay + $B inbox command

Sidebar agent now writes structured messages to .context/sidebar-inbox/
when processing user input. The workspace agent can read these via
$B inbox to see what the user reported from the browser.

File drop format:
  .context/sidebar-inbox/{timestamp}-observation.json
  { type, timestamp, page: {url}, userMessage, sidebarSessionId }

Atomic writes (tmp + rename) prevent partial reads. $B inbox --clear
removes messages after display.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: $B watch — passive observation mode

Claude enters read-only mode and captures periodic snapshots (every 5s)
while the user browses. Mutation commands (click, fill, etc.) are
blocked during watch. $B watch stop exits and returns a summary with
the last snapshot.

Requires headed mode ($B connect). This is the inverse of the scout
pattern — the workspace agent watches through the browser instead of
the sidebar relaying to it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add coverage for sidebar-agent, file-drop, and watch mode

33 new tests covering:
- Sidebar agent queue parsing (valid/malformed/empty JSONL)
- writeToInbox file drop (directory creation, atomic writes, JSON format)
- Inbox command (display, sorting, --clear, malformed file handling)
- Watch mode state machine (start/stop cycles, snapshots, duration)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: TODOS cleanup + Chrome vs Chromium exploration doc

- Update TODOS.md: mark CDP mode, $B watch, sidebar scout as SHIPPED
- Delete dead "cross-platform CDP browser discovery" TODO
- Rename dependencies from "CDP connect" to "headed mode"
- Add docs/designs/CHROME_VS_CHROMIUM_EXPLORATION.md memorializing
  the architecture exploration and decision to use Playwright Chromium

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: sidebar-agent validates cwd before spawning claude

The queue entry may reference a worktree that was cleaned up between
sessions. Now falls back to process.cwd() if the path doesn't exist,
preventing silent spawn failures.

* fix: gen-skill-docs resolver merge + preamble tier gate + plan file discovery

The local RESOLVERS record in gen-skill-docs.ts was shadowing the imported
canonical resolvers, causing stale test coverage and preamble generators
to be used instead of the authoritative versions in resolvers/.

Changes:
- Merge imported RESOLVERS with local overrides (spread + override pattern)
- Fix preamble tier gate: tier 1 skills no longer get AskUserQuestion format
- Make plan file discovery host-agnostic (search multiple plan dirs)
- Add missing E2E tier entries for ship/review plan completion tests

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: ungate sidebar agent + raise timeout to 5 minutes (v0.12.0)

Sidebar chat is now always available in headed mode — no --chat flag needed.
Agent tasks get 5 minutes instead of 2, enabling multi-page workflows like
navigating directories and filling forms across pages.

Changes:
- cli.ts: remove --chat flag, always set BROWSE_SIDEBAR_CHAT=1, always spawn agent
- server.ts: remove chatEnabled gate (403 response), raise AGENT_TIMEOUT_MS to 300s
- sidebar-agent.ts: raise child process timeout from 120s to 300s

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: headed mode + sidebar agent documentation (v0.12.0)

- README: sidebar agent section, personal automation example (school parent
  portal), two auth paths (manual login + cookie import), DevTools MCP mention
- BROWSER.md: sidebar agent section with usage, timeout, session isolation,
  authentication, and random delay documentation
- connect-chrome template: add sidebar chat onboarding step
- CHANGELOG: v0.12.0 entry covering headed mode, sidebar agent, extension
- VERSION: bump to 0.12.0.0

* feat: network idle, state persistence, iframe support, chain pipe format (v0.12.1.0) (#516)

* feat: network idle detection + chain pipe format

- Upgrade click/fill/select from domcontentloaded to networkidle wait
  (2s timeout, best-effort). Catches XHR/fetch triggered by interactions.
- Add pipe-delimited format to chain as JSON fallback:
  $B chain 'goto url | click @e5 | snapshot -ic'
- Add post-loop networkidle wait in chain when last command was a write.
- Frame-aware: commands use target (getActiveFrameOrPage) for locator ops,
  page-only ops (goto/back/forward/reload) guard against frame context.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: $B state save/load + $B frame — new browse commands

- state save/load: persist cookies + URLs to .gstack/browse-states/{name}.json
  File perms 0o600, name sanitized to [a-zA-Z0-9_-]. V1 skips localStorage
  (breaks on load-before-navigate). Load replaces session via closeAllPages().
- frame: switch command context to iframe via CSS selector, @ref, --name, or
  --url. 'frame main' returns to main frame. Execution target abstraction
  (getActiveFrameOrPage) across read-commands, snapshot, and write-commands.
- Frame context cleared on tab switch, navigation, resume, and handoff.
- Snapshot shows [Context: iframe src="..."] header when in frame.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add tests for network idle, chain pipe format, state, and frame

- Network idle: click on fetch button waits for XHR, static click is fast
- Chain pipe: pipe-delimited commands, quoted args, JSON still works
- State: save/load round-trip, name sanitization, missing state error
- Frame: switch to iframe + back, snapshot context header, fill in frame,
  goto-in-frame guard, usage error

New fixtures: network-idle.html (fetch + static buttons), iframe.html (srcdoc)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: review fixes — iframe ref scoping, detached frame recovery, state validation

- snapshot.ts: ref locators, cursor-interactive scan, and cursor locator
  now use target (frame-aware) instead of page — fixes @ref clicking in iframes
- browser-manager.ts: getActiveFrameOrPage auto-recovers from detached frames
  via isDetached() check
- meta-commands.ts: state load resets activeFrame, elementHandle disposed after
  contentFrame(), state file schema validation (cookies + pages arrays),
  filter empty pipe segments in chain tokenizer
- write-commands.ts: upload command uses target.locator() for frame support
