+2131 people	ae8914af7e	v1.67.0.0 fix: the tracker wave — XProtect self-heal, complete installs, brain-sync integrity, 31 community PRs credited (#2604) ... * fix(test): host-config goldens self-provision .agents/.factory artifacts Fixes #2532. The codex/factory golden tests read gitignored artifacts that only gen-skill-docs.test.ts (serial tree-mutating phase) produces, so the file failed in isolation and on clean clones (the #2536 "3 failures then 0" symptom). beforeAll now generates a host's artifacts iff its ship SKILL.md is missing — never overwriting existing ones, so stale artifacts still fail the golden. The file is also classified TREE_MUTATING so its provisioning runs in the serial window, not racing parallel readers. Verified: full pass with .agents/ and .factory/ deleted (74/74 in isolation). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): exempt the live repo tree from hermetic-wiring's operator-~/.claude ban The skill-seeding tripwire asserted every seeded symlink target must NOT start with ~/.claude — but on the default global-git install the repo itself lives at ~/.claude/skills/gstack, so every CORRECT symlink (which must resolve into the live repo tree, as the very next assertion requires) carried the banned prefix. The test could never pass on a default install: pristine v1.64.1.0 (c118e240) fails it in any worktree under ~/.claude/skills/ and passes elsewhere (verified 2026-08-15). Exempt targets that realpath into the resolved repo ROOT before applying the operatorClaude ban — realpath both sides so a symlinked HOME can't dodge the tripwire. Genuine escapes (a target under ~/.claude but outside the repo) still fail with the escape message. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen-skill-docs): quote YAML inline scalars containing '...' (Bun strict parser breaks on bare ellipsis) A bare ... inside a plain YAML scalar is a document-end marker that strict YAML parsers (Bun.YAML among them) reject mid-scalar. catalog-trim truncation appends '...' to any description whose lead exceeds 200 chars, so any truncated description would generate a SKILL.md with unparseable frontmatter. Add the ellipsis test to toYamlInlineScalar's needsQuote so such scalars are emitted double-quoted, plus unit coverage for the quoting rules. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen-skill-docs): throw when a template contains {{PREAMBLE}} twice Hardens the #2508/#2362 class: a second {{PREAMBLE}} occurrence — even a prose mention, which is exactly how spec/SKILL.md.tmpl re-expanded the full ~12K-token preamble mid-document — now fails generation with the template path instead of silently shipping a doubled preamble. Pure exported guard (assertSinglePreamble) called from resolvePlaceholders, unit-tested with the original prose-mention shape. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): classify catalog-trim.test.ts as tree-mutating Discovered while landing the duplicate-{{PREAMBLE}} guard: importing scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts executes its top-level body, which regenerates the entire claude host (71 GENERATED files) at import time. catalog-trim.test.ts does that import from a PARALLEL shard — the same read-during-regeneration hazard class as #2532, invisible only because the regen is byte-identical on a fresh tree. Move it to the serial tree-mutating window. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): prepush hook test builds PATH with a POSIX-only separator `test/redact-prepush-hook.test.ts` shadows `git` with a stub by prepending a temp dir to PATH, built as `${stubDir}:${process.env.PATH}`. On Windows the separator is `;`, so that produces one unparseable entry, the stub is never found, and the REAL git runs — the diff succeeds, `gitStrict` never throws, and the hook exits 0 where the test expects 1. It fails as a wrong assertion rather than as a portability problem, which is what made it hard to place. Replace it with a `prependPath` helper mirroring the one already in test/gstack-brain-context-load.test.ts, which handles both platform details: `path.delimiter`, and a case-insensitive lookup of the existing env key — Windows commonly spells it `Path`, and adding a second `PATH` alongside an inherited `Path` leaves the winner up to the spawn implementation. On POSIX the helper resolves to `{ PATH: binDir + ":" + process.env.PATH }`, byte-identical to the expression it replaces, so behaviour there is unchanged. Fixing the separator alone does not make the test pass on Windows, and it cannot: the premise is that a signal-killed child yields `spawnSync` status === null, and Windows has no equivalent (a force-killed process reports a non-zero exit code). The stub is also a `#!/bin/sh` file named `git`, which Windows will not execute, since process creation resolves through PATHEXT and ignores the shebang. A Windows variant would assert the non-zero-exit branch instead — a different branch than the test name claims — so the test is gated with test.skipIf(process.platform === "win32"), matching test/session-runner-timeout.test.ts and test/setup-emoji-font.test.ts. Windows before: 14 pass, 1 fail. After: 14 pass, 1 skip, 0 fail (3 consecutive runs). Unchanged on POSIX, where it should still run and pass — worth confirming in CI, since I can only verify the Windows half here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(artifacts): sync the decision store, which no allowlist glob matched gstack-decision-log enqueues projects/<slug>/decisions.jsonl after every write, but none of the 16 managed globs matched it, so compute_paths_to_stage rejected every one at its "must match at least one allowlist glob" check. The writer and the syncer disagreed silently: enabling artifacts sync backed up learnings, plans, designs and timelines -- everything except the durable decision ledger -- and nothing reported a miss, because a dropped path prints exactly what a synced one does when the queue is otherwise empty. Add the three decisions.* globs and class them artifact so they also sync in artifacts-only mode. The test reads the heredocs out of the script rather than executing it: gstack-artifacts-init.test.ts drives the real script through #!/bin/bash shims and a colon-separated PATH, so it cannot run on Windows -- the platform where the companion slug bug bit. * fix(windows): resolve the project slug natively when gstack-slug cannot spawn bin/gstack-slug is a `#!/usr/bin/env bash` script with no file extension. Windows honors neither the shebang nor PATHEXT for an explicit path, so spawnSync fails ENOENT and resolveSlug returned its literal fallback, "unknown". Every decision on the machine was therefore filed under ~/.gstack/projects/unknown/ -- one bucket shared by every project -- while the bash-side Context Recovery preamble resolved the real slug, found no decisions.active.json there, and skipped through a bare `if [ -f ... ]` with no else. Nothing failed. Both decision bins (log and search) missed identically, so writes and searches stayed consistent with each other, and the only component that resolved correctly was silent by design. Measured on one machine: 62 decisions accumulated over 10 days and 170 skill runs, surfaced zero times. shell:true is not the fix here, unlike #1731 -- cmd.exe cannot run a bash script either. Nor is re-spawning through `bash`: on Windows that frequently resolves to WSL, whose $HOME and /mnt/c paths yield a different slug AND a different cache directory, trading one split store for another. Instead, port gstack-slug's own three steps (cache -> git remote -> basename), keeping its alphabet and its MSYS-form cache key so both paths agree. The fallback is win32-gated, so POSIX behaviour is byte-identical. Tests exercise the fallback on every platform (only the gating is win32-specific), so POSIX CI catches a regression that would otherwise surface only on a Windows user's disk, plus a static gate pinning the platform check. * fix(security): guard brain-sync arithmetic against injected .brain-last-pull; sanitize _GBRAIN_HOST Re-derived from PR #2588 under the generated-file screening rule (resolver hunks taken; SKILL.md files regenerated, not accepted). A poisoned .brain-last-pull could reach bash arithmetic ($(( ))) — a code-execution vector from a writable state file; the timestamp is now validated numeric before use. _GBRAIN_HOST from ~/.claude.json is clamped to hostname-safe characters before echo. Ship goldens refreshed to the regenerated output. Co-authored-by: sneakygriff <89592870+sneakygriff@users.noreply.github.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sync): run gstack-brain-sync through bash, not cmd.exe, on Windows The brain-sync stage failed on EVERY Windows run with "is not recognized as an internal or external command", so /sync-gbrain always reported ERR brain-sync among otherwise green stages. #1731 gave these spawns shell: NEEDS_SHELL_ON_WINDOWS. That is correct for the gbrain.cmd shim and does nothing here: shell:true routes through cmd.exe, which resolves .cmd/.bat via PATHEXT but has no concept of a shebang, so an extension-less bash script is rejected outright. A .cmd shim needs a shell; a shebang script needs an interpreter. The two cases look identical and are not. The failure was quiet rather than loud. artifacts_sync_mode defaults to pushing curated artifacts to git, so a Windows user's learnings piled up uncommitted in ~/.gstack indefinitely while the sync report showed one red line out of four. New bashScriptInvocation() resolves Git for Windows' bash explicitly and passes the script as argv[0]. It prefers Git bash over a bare `bash` on PATH because WindowsApps ships a bash.exe that is the WSL launcher, which would read C:\... as a Linux path; GSTACK_BASH overrides for unusual installs; forward slashes because bash treats backslashes as escapes; and it returns null when no bash exists so the stage says so plainly instead of surfacing an unactionable spawn error. The #1731 tripwire asserted the shape that does not work, so it now asserts the opposite (never a raw spawnSync(brainSyncPath, ...)) and six unit tests cover the resolver. Verified on Windows: the stage now reports "OK brain-sync curated artifacts pushed (4.2s)" and the artifacts repo committed + pushed on its own. Affected-test set unchanged at 14 pre-existing failures before and after, with 6 new passing tests. * fix(gbrain): quote cmd.exe arguments at a single gbrain invocation seam Fixes #2471. With shell:true on Windows, node/bun join argv into one cmd.exe string without quoting, so a repo path with a space — the default C:\Users\First Last\ layout — split into two arguments and every gbrain call carrying a path silently targeted the wrong location (worst: `sources add --path`). All gbrain CLI invocations now build their (cmd, argv, shell) triple through gbrainInvocation(), which quotes risky arguments for cmd.exe's re-parse (embedded quotes doubled). The four direct spawn sites in lib/gbrain-sources.ts route through the seam; the #1731 static invariant is upgraded for seamed files (any direct "gbrain" opener is the violation) and kept as-is for lib/gbrain-local-status.ts. POSIX behavior unchanged (shell:false, passthrough argv). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(brain-sync): classify queue entries, rewrite surgically, re-push stranded commits Fixes #2549 (P0 data loss). Every drain exit previously truncated the WHOLE queue (six `: > "$QUEUE"` sites), which (a) destroyed privacy/mode-held entries while misattributing them as "no allowlisted changes", (b) destroyed entries enqueued concurrently during the drain, and (c) left push-failed commits stranded locally with nothing ever re-pushing them until unrelated new work arrived. Now: compute_paths_to_stage classifies every entry (stageable / retained privacy-held / dropped skipped-invalid-unmatched-missing); rewrite_queue re-reads the LIVE queue at mv time and removes only this drain's processed paths (retained + concurrent appends + unparseable lines survive; atomic tmp+mv); an unpushed-commit detector at run start re-pushes stranded local commits (receipted fail-closed; a receipt refusal skips the retry rather than wedging the drain; guards missing origin/<branch>; runs inside the existing lock). Status lines carry counts; full drop paths go to a 0600 sidecar (.brain-sync-drops.json) so filenames stay out of transcripts. --drop-queue remains the one intentional truncation. Matrix added: privacy retention, unmatched/missing counted drops + sidecar mode, unparseable-line preservation, surgical same-drain retention, push-fail commit retention + detector re-delivery on an EMPTY queue, receipt-refusal skip. 35/35 in test/brain-sync.test.ts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gbrain): make --full do a full code walk, not a delta one `runCodeImport()` walked with a bare `gbrain sync --strategy code --source X`. The strategy is right, but that walk is incremental: it only revisits files changed since the source's checkpoint. A file missed at the ORIGINAL import is therefore never revisited and stays out of the index indefinitely. The reindex-code pass below cannot rescue it. It re-chunks pages that already exist and never walks the filesystem — the same property the comment directly above already relies on when explaining why the walk has to run first. That fix landed one flag short: it made a fresh source get pages at all, but left `--full` unable to discover a file the first walk skipped. Net effect: `/sync-gbrain --full` did not perform a full walk, and re-running it never re-detected the gap. The failure is silent, which is what makes it expensive. Nothing errors, nothing warns, and the verdict block still reports OK while `gbrain search` and `gbrain code-def` answer out of a partial index. It reads as "gbrain is weak at code questions" rather than "the index is incomplete". Measured on two local code sources before and after this change, counting exported functions resolvable via `gbrain code-def`: one went from 61/201 (30%) to 180/201 (89%), importing 79 files that had no page at all; the other had whole source files missing entirely and reached 93%. Both had been serving search from a partial index for weeks. Scoped to `--full` so incremental runs stay fast. `--yes` because this spawns non-interactively and a full walk otherwise prompts to confirm import cost. Anyone can check their own brain without applying this: gbrain sync --source <id> --strategy code --full --dry-run and compare "N file(s) would be imported" against that source's page_count. Worth knowing while doing so: the default strategy is markdown and --strategy is per-invocation, never persisted on the source, so dropping the flag reports strategy=markdown and a handful of files. * fix(brain-cache): honest 'missing' instead of fabricated-empty digests on gbrain failure A gbrain-unreachable failure in fetchRecentDecisions and fetchSalience used to be converted into a cached 'successful' empty digest ("_No prior skill runs recorded._" / "_No salient pages in last 14d._") that refreshEntity stamped with last_refresh. The false negative then survived every subsequent TTL cycle, indistinguishable from a genuine zero-rows result. Now failure returns null, so cmdGet's existing missing/stale-fallback machinery reports the true state — matching what fetchGoals and fetchSimplePage already do on failure. Also adds an Array.isArray guard in fetchRecentDecisions so a malformed payload ({pages: {}} etc.) classifies as failure instead of crashing refreshEntity mid-refresh; a genuinely empty pages array still renders the honest empty digest. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): give the schema-mismatch rebuild test a load-proof budget The rebuild path refreshes every per-project entity against the real gbrain CLI; with an unreachable brain each spawn runs to its own timeout, and under machine load the stack exceeds bun's 5s default (observed 5.2-5.4s, identically on pre-#2587 binaries — a load flake, not a regression). 30s budget matches the sibling brain-sync suite's convention. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory-ingest): parse the current Codex response_item rollout shape Fixes #2105. Codex rollout JSONL moved to { type: 'response_item', payload: { type: 'message', role, content: [...] } }; the parser's legacy payload.message branch never fired on it, so every Codex session imported as an empty shell (message_count: 0 — 243/243 sessions on the reporting machine). Both shapes now parse; non-message response_items (reasoning etc.) are ignored. parseTranscriptJsonl exported for direct unit tests (CLI path unchanged — import.meta.main guard). Note: #2104's staging-in-gitignored-tree half is already defended on main (--include-gitignored + GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, #2144, plus the #2486 reconcile guard) — verified, no change needed; it moves to the close-only roster. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): refresh codex/factory ship goldens from post-#2588 regeneration The #2588 absorb refreshed all three ship goldens, but `bun run gen:skill-docs` regenerates the CLAUDE host only — the codex/factory goldens were copied from artifacts rendered before the resolver change and failed against a fresh external-host regen in the serial test phase. Re-rendered with --host codex / --host factory and re-copied. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(make-pdf): boolean flags no longer swallow the next positional argument Fixes #2514. The parser treated any non-flag token after a flag as its value, so `$P generate --toc essay.md` ate essay.md as --toc's value and failed with "missing input" — the skill's own documented usage only worked when two boolean flags happened to be adjacent. BOOLEAN_FLAGS enumerates the no-value flags; value flags (--watermark, --to, --title, ...) are unchanged. main() now runs behind import.meta.main so tests import the parser directly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(repo-mode): probe GNU stat before BSD so Git Bash stops crashing Fixes #2195. On GNU coreutils `stat -f` SUCCEEDS (filesystem status, not a format string), so the BSD-first fallback chain never fell over — it fed multi-word filesystem output into the cache-age arithmetic and crashed under set -u on Windows Git Bash. GNU `stat -c` fails cleanly on BSD/macOS, making GNU-first deterministic on both; the mtime is numeric-validated before arithmetic as a last line of defense. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(retro): point the prior-retros context query at files /retro actually writes Fixes #2552's live half. The gbrain context-query glob targeted ~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/retros/*.md — a directory and extension nothing writes — so prior-retro recall was dead on every brain-aware run. /retro saves to .context/retros/*.json (repo-local); the query now reads that. The issue's second defect (quoted-tilde orphan sweep) is already fixed on main — the preamble sweeps with "$HOME/..." — verified, no change needed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sync-gbrain): remove the capability-check page file left in the user's repo Fixes #2503. On worktree-pinned brains `gbrain put` materializes the checked page as _capability_check_<pid>.md in the current directory (the user's repo), and `gbrain delete` removes the page but not the file — every /sync-gbrain run left a stray file in the repo root. The check now deletes the materialized file explicitly after the page delete. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(browse): warn that hover scrolls and the daemon tab persists across sessions Fixes #2445. Both behaviors are by design but produced confidently wrong verification output: hovering a below-the-fold element scrolls the page before a "rest state" screenshot (exit 0, wrong section), and the daemon's tab survives sessions so a bare `reload` can act on whatever earlier work left open. The screenshot-evidence section now names both traps with the concrete guards (assert window.scrollY; always goto before verifying). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gitattributes): pin *.txt to LF .gitattributes pins LF for every other text format in the repo (*.md, *.tmpl, *.yml, *.yaml, *.json, *.toml, *.sh, *.ts, extensionless scripts, even the hash-pinned diagram-render dist files). *.txt is the one text format left unpinned. On Windows with core.autocrlf=true, that means the two tracked .txt files are rewritten to CRLF at checkout and then read as permanently modified: gstack/llms.txt +174 bytes make-pdf/test/fixtures/combined-gate.expected.txt +20 bytes git status is never clean, and /gstack-upgrade's 'git stash' step saves a phantom stash on every upgrade — one that pops back to an empty diff. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): install every skill runtime asset for the Claude host On a fresh Claude install, link_claude_skill_dirs installed only SKILL.md (+ sections/) per skill. Every skill that reads a sibling runtime file at .claude/skills/<name>/<file> was broken out of the box: /review stopped at 'Read .claude/skills/review/checklist.md' (file never installed), and qa's templates/references, plan-devex-review's dx-hall-of-fame.md, gstack-upgrade's migrations/, and careful/freeze's bin/ hooks were all silently missing. Codex/Factory/OpenCode/Kiro installers already copied these; the primary host never did. Fix: a shared _link_skill_runtime_assets helper installs EVERYTHING a skill ships next to its SKILL.md, with an explicit exclusion list (F7): node_modules, dist, test, *.tmpl, hidden files. Exclusion-list polarity means a newly added asset installs by default instead of being silently dropped. Assets refresh unconditionally on re-run (rm + relink/copy), so Windows real-dir copies pick up changes after git pull. New free test runs the real installer functions against the live repo into a temp skills dir with a TWO-CLASS referenced-paths assertion (ENG-OV7): alias-relative refs (.claude/skills/<name>/<path>) must exist under the install; repo-anchored refs (~/.claude/skills/gstack/<path>) must exist in the tree modulo an explicit built-artifact allowlist (browse/design/ make-pdf dist + the compiled gstack-global-discover). Known-broken class-2 refs (#2250 bare bin names) are ratcheted: the test fails if they quietly start existing without the entry being removed. Fixes #2317 Fixes #2454 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): alias skills install as rewritten copies, never symlinks The two back-compat alias dirs — _gstack-command (root router) and connect-chrome (→ open-gstack-browser) — symlinked the canonical SKILL.md verbatim, so each alias re-served the canonical frontmatter name:. Claude Code keys skills on that name and requires global uniqueness: the connect-chrome duplicate silently shadowed /open-gstack-browser (whichever readdir returned first won), and the _gstack-command duplicate could drop the ENTIRE personal-skills set — every /gstack command vanished until the user hand-deleted the alias dirs, and the next setup re-broke it. Fix: copy-then-rewrite. A shared _install_alias_skill_md helper reads the SOURCE SKILL.md and writes a fresh copy with name: rewritten to the alias dir's own name (_gstack-command / connect-chrome / gstack-connect-chrome). sed never edits in place: on Unix the old install was a symlink into the repo, and an in-place rewrite through it would have corrupted the generated source (eng review E2). bin/gstack-relink gets the same treatment for its root-alias helper, and its discovery loop now skips symlinked source dirs so the connect-chrome repo symlink can't re-mint the duplicate. Tests assert: installed aliases are NOT symlinks, carry their own unique names, all installed frontmatter names are globally unique, re-runs refresh cleanly, legacy symlinked aliases are replaced not written through, and the source files stay byte-intact. Fixes #2511 Fixes #2201 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): Windows re-runs refresh installed skills for codex/factory/opencode hosts On Windows (Git Bash / MSYS2, no Developer Mode), _link_or_copy installs REAL directory copies. The install guards in link_codex_skill_dirs, link_factory_skill_dirs, link_opencode_skill_dirs, and create_agents_sidecar only ran the copy when the target was a symlink or missing — true on the first install, never again. Every subsequent ./setup after a git pull reported 'gstack ready (codex).' and exited 0 while silently refreshing nothing: users ran stale SKILL.md forever. (link_claude_skill_dirs already handled this; the other hosts never got the treatment.) Fix: all five guard sites bypass the symlink-or-missing check when IS_WINDOWS=1 — _link_or_copy rm -rf's the destination first, so the real-dir copy refreshes in place. Unix behavior is unchanged (symlinks still pass the guard via -L and serve updates without re-copying). The new bash-fixture test drives the REAL extracted functions through the install → upstream change → re-run cycle under IS_WINDOWS=1 (v1 must become v2), pins the sidecar-skip behavior, checks the Unix path stayed a symlink, and statically asserts the bypass at all five sites so factory/opencode can't regress. Registered in the Windows-safe curated list (KNOWN_WINDOWS_SAFE) so it actually runs on the windows-latest CI lane — the 'bin/' pattern hit is a fixture path segment, not a shebang spawn. Fixes #2444 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(uninstall): remove real-directory skill installs, gated on provenance On Windows, setup installs skills as REAL directory copies (cp -R via _link_or_copy). gstack-uninstall's per-skill loop filtered on [ -L ], so every copy was skipped: --force exited 0 and printed 'gstack uninstalled.' while leaving ~52 gstack-* directories plus _gstack-command/ behind in ~/.claude/skills. The same filter also missed the standard Unix shape (real dir + symlinked SKILL.md), which was left as a dangling-symlink husk. Fix: the loop now handles all three install shapes. Symlink entries keep the existing readlink check. Real dirs with a SYMLINKED SKILL.md are removed when the link points into gstack (same semantics as setup's cleanup helpers). Real dirs with a REAL-FILE SKILL.md — the Windows copy shape — are removed ONLY when both provenance gates pass (F8): (a) the directory name is in gstack's skill inventory (source dir names, frontmatter names, gstack- prefixed variants, and the alias dirs), and (b) the SKILL.md carries the existing generated banner '<!-- AUTO-GENERATED from' (ENG-OV10: every pre-v1.67 copy already carries it; a NEW marker would refuse to delete legitimate old installs, recreating the bug). Anything failing a gate is listed to stderr and never deleted — a user's own skill that happens to share a name with a gstack skill survives. Tests: a fake-tree fixture covers removed/kept/listed for every shape (including the F8 name-collision row), and a census test asserts every installable skill's generated SKILL.md carries the banner so the gate can't strand a bannerless skill. Registered in the Windows-safe curated list — the copy shape is exactly what windows-latest exercises. Fixes #2563 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(setup): wire --host cursor through the full install path './setup --host cursor' was accepted by the flag parser and then did nothing: no INSTALL_CURSOR branch existed, so the script built binaries, printed no 'ready' line, and installed zero skills — Cursor users had no way to install gstack at all. Full install slice, re-derived from PR #2547 by @szsunyuan onto the current installers: generate .cursor/ skill docs (host config already existed), create a minimal ~/.cursor/skills/gstack runtime root (root SKILL.md + bin/lib/browse assets + review checklist pair + ETHOS.md + supabase config — bin and lib travel together because bin scripts import ../lib), link the generated gstack-* skills, and plant the repo-local .cursor/skills/gstack sidecar WITHOUT ever wiping the generated SKILL.md files it shares a directory with (link-before-sidecar ordering keeps the generation fallback alive). Auto mode detects Cursor via the cursor binary or the ~/.cursor footprint. gstack-uninstall removes ~/.cursor/skills/gstack* and per-project .cursor/skills/gstack* — and never rmdir's .cursor itself, where Cursor stores user rules. Re-derivation deltas from the PR: the link guards carry the #2444 IS_WINDOWS bypass (re-runs refresh real-dir copies), lib/ and supabase/config.sh ride along like every other runtime root, and the hosts/cursor.ts sidecar field is omitted (HostConfig no longer carries one — sidecar behavior lives in setup). Fixes #1358 Co-authored-by: Yuan Sun <forrest.sun527@gmail.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(settings): include command in add-event dedup key (#2382) Fixes #2382. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): render the gbrain :user variant to an out-dir — global installs stay git-clean On a global-git install with gbrain, ./setup and 'gstack-config gbrain-refresh' ran gen:skill-docs:user IN PLACE inside the install checkout, rewriting ~16 TRACKED SKILL.md files. The checkout stayed permanently dirty, every /gstack-upgrade 'git stash' saved a redundant snapshot of generated content, and the growing stash list invited a 'git stash pop' that would lay stale instruction markdown from an older gstack over the current version — a quiet wrong-rules failure mode. Fix, wired through machinery that already existed (gen-skill-docs --out-dir + the symlink install layer): brain-aware SKILL.md now renders into the untracked ~/.gstack/render/claude, and both Claude installers serve the render when present — setup's link_claude_skill_dirs prefers $GSTACK_HOME/render/claude/<skill>/SKILL.md, and bin/gstack-relink does the same so a later config change can't silently flip skills back to the blockless canonical source. setup wipes and rebuilds the render each run, repoints installed skills after a successful render, and removes a stale render (re-linking canonical) when gbrain is gone. gbrain-refresh renders to the out-dir and repoints via relink; its 'this dirties the install's git tree' caveat is retired because it no longer does. A one-time upgrade migration (gstack-upgrade/migrations/v1.67.0.0.sh, F12) restores the legacy dirt: unstaged modifications to SKILL.md / sections/ *.md files in the install checkout are git-checkout'd back to canonical; anything outside that footprint (user edits, untracked files, staged work) is left alone and reported. Idempotent, non-fatal, symlinked installs skipped. Tests: render-preference behavior for both installers, static pins that every executable :user invocation carries --out-dir and the caveat text is gone, migration fixture (restore/leave/idempotent/no-op matrix), and the existing out-dir render test now asserts 'git status --porcelain' gains zero new entries across a full :user render. Fixes #2569 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(redact): close the remaining #1946 fail-opens — detection coverage + one-time consent Two of #1946's reported gaps were still open after the v1.64 fail-closed work (the git-error and oversized-diff paths in bin/gstack-redact-prepush are already strict, chunked, and pinned by tests): 1. Detection fail-open: env.kv required an UPPERCASE name with an '=' assignment, so 'api_key=…', 'apiKey: "…"', and 'password: …' — the most common real config shapes — produced NO finding at all. The pattern is now case-insensitive, accepts ':' (YAML/JSON) as well as '=' assignment, and handles quoted JSON keys. It stays MEDIUM and entropy-gated per the calibration rule (a generic net that cries wolf gets bypassed), with pinned cases for each closed shape plus the placeholder/entropy negatives. 2. Install fail-open: nothing ever offered the guard, so a plain 'git push' scanned nothing and users believing themselves protected weren't. setup now asks ONCE for consent on a real interactive terminal (maintainer decision 6): an explicit answer is recorded to the existing redact_prepush_hook key and never re-asked; a timeout or non-interactive run changes nothing and keeps the hint-only posture. Default stays FALSE, and setup still never installs the hook itself — /ship owns the per-repo install (the wrong-repo invariant is pinned by the existing 'setup carries the hint only' test). Tests: per-shape pattern cases, prompt gating statics (key-absence + TTY + timed default-N read), timeout-persists-nothing, non-interactive stays hint-only with no key write, and recorded-answer-is-silent behavior runs. Contributes to #1946 (the pre-push guard's fail-closed scan paths landed in earlier releases; this closes the coverage and consent gaps it names). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(hooks): Stop hook closes dangling timeline entries — fail-open The preamble writes event:'started' to the project timeline at every skill start, but the matching 'completed' write lives in prose at the END of the skill workflow — unenforceable. An interrupted session, a context blowout, or an agent that simply stops leaked started > completed forever, and the leak was unrepairable after the fact (observed live in #2553). New hosts/claude/hooks/timeline-stop-hook (+ .ts, question-log-hook shim pattern): on Claude Code's Stop event it appends event:'completed' with outcome 'unknown' and source 'stop-hook' for every 'started' entry in the project timeline that has no matching completion. setup registers it via gstack-settings-hook add-event (Stop was already an accepted event) under its own source tag, idempotently; --no-team and gstack-uninstall remove it. FAIL-OPEN contract (F5), pinned by tests: ALWAYS exits 0 — corrupt timeline (bad lines skipped individually, valid ones still repaired), missing timeline, garbage/empty stdin, bun missing from PATH (the shim '|| true's), and an over-cap timeline (10MB skip) all repair nothing and block nothing; errors land in ~/.gstack/hook-errors.log best-effort. The write path is append-only with a ~2s internal budget, and a second Stop is a no-op (already-closed entries never re-close). Correlation is project-scoped by design — the preamble's session id is shell-local, so a concurrent same-project session's entry may close early as a traceable source:'stop-hook' row rather than a silent leak; the header documents the trade-off. Fixes #2553 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * ios-qa: guard DebugBridgeTouch.m on DEBUG, not just TARGET_OS_IOS DebugBridgeTouch.m and its header both promise the code is DEBUG-only and never shipped: "Uses these private UIKit selectors (DEBUG-only; never shipped to App Store)" "DEBUG-only — never link in Release." Nothing enforced it. The only guard was `#if TARGET_OS_IOS`, so a Release build for iOS compiled the entire implementation in, private API and all. Measured on a real app (an iOS Release build, `nm -j` on the app binary): DebugBridge symbols 15 IOHIDEventCreateDigitizer 2 AXSSetAutomationEnabled 1 symbol, 2 strings IOKit.framework 4 strings including +[DebugBridgeTouch sendTapAtPoint:inWindow:] and _OBJC_CLASS_$_DebugBridgeTouch. That is a Guideline 2.5.1 private-API exposure in a shippable binary, and it fails Package.swift's own stated CI invariant: nm -j build/Release/<binary> | grep -q DebugBridge && exit 1 WHY THE EXISTING GUARD DOES NOT COVER THIS Package.swift documents the protection as `.when(configuration: .debug)` on the consuming target's dependency. That works for SwiftPM consumers. It cannot be expressed by an app that integrates DebugBridge as a local package inside an .xcodeproj: Xcode's Filters column under Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content offers platform conditions only — iOS, macOS, visionOS — never build configuration. So for xcodeproj consumers the documented guard silently does nothing, which is precisely the case that was measured. The Swift targets were already safe: all four .swift files are `#if DEBUG` guarded and Package.swift defines DEBUG for them via swiftSettings. Only the Objective-C target, the one that actually links private API, was unguarded. THE FIX 1. DebugBridgeTouch.m.template now branches `#if !defined(DEBUG)` first and emits nothing at all in Release, falling through to the existing iOS and non-iOS branches only in Debug. 2. Package.swift.template declares DEBUG explicitly for the ObjC target: cSettings: [.define("DEBUG", .when(configuration: .debug))] The two Swift targets already did this. Relying on SwiftPM's implicit DEBUG for C-family targets is not worth betting a private-API exposure on. VERIFIED, by compiling the generated file for iOS both ways: xcrun -sdk iphoneos clang -c DebugBridgeTouch.m -arch arm64 ... Release (no -DDEBUG) 0 DebugBridge symbols, 0 private-API symbols, 448 B Debug (-DDEBUG=1) 7 DebugBridge symbols, 6 private-API symbols, 13104 B The harness is unchanged in Debug. Release now emits an empty translation unit.

Menus, alerts and action sheets were worse: each gets its OWN UIWindow, so keying off isKeyWindow missed them entirely — absent from /elements, dropped from /screenshot, untappable via /tap. Re-derived from PR #2397 by @IDSTUK onto the current bridge templates (the SwiftUI tap-reliability rework had moved underneath the PR): ScreenshotBridgeImpl gains orderedWindows(in:) (visible windows front-most first by windowLevel then insertion order, PassThroughWindow overlays still filtered), frontmostWindow(), and searchRoots() (per window, the top-most presented view controller's view before the window itself). /elements walks those roots in order through the existing shared visited-set + budget, so overlapping roots emit each view once at its front-most position; /tap targets frontmostWindow() for both the accessibility-activation and synthesized-touch paths; /type and /swipe search the roots in order; /screenshot composites every window back-to-front at the existing 1x scale. The two now-dead private activeScene/activeKeyWindow copies in ElementsBridgeImpl and MutationBridgeImpl are removed. Fixture mirror synced byte-for-byte; verified with a full 'xcodebuild build -scheme FixtureApp-Package -destination generic/platform=iOS Simulator' (BUILD SUCCEEDED, DEBUG guard from the previous commit included).

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

Fourth: the uninstall neutral-target test asserted against os.tmpdir(), which reads $TMPDIR at call time — a shard neighbor can leave it gstack-containing, making the "neutral" symlink target match the provenance substring; the test now falls back to a fixed neutral root and asserts neutrality explicitly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: whitelist engine-locked at all three gbrain-usable gates (#2456) #2194 taught the classifier to report a PGLite lock held by a live \`gbrain serve\` as engine-locked instead of broken-config, but none of the three "is gbrain usable?" gates accepted the new status — so the symptom moved from a wrong error to a quieter wrong suppression: gbrain-refresh stripped GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD / GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS blocks out of every generated SKILL.md after every upgrade, on the RECOMMENDED /setup-gbrain default (PGLite + local-stdio MCP spawns gbrain serve at session start). engine-locked is the same class as timeout (#1964): the engine is installed and healthy, a legitimate holder has the lock. All three gates now agree: - bin/gstack-gbrain-detect --is-ok exits 0 on engine-locked - bin/gstack-config gbrain-refresh case arm renders instead of suppressing - scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts --respect-detection treats it as detected Test mirrors the existing timeout case in test/gbrain-detection-override.test.ts (engine-locked renders brain blocks; the sibling no-cli case still proves suppression works). Applies the reporter's patch + test from the issue. Fixes #2456 Co-authored-by: Mateus Moraes <mmoraes@users.noreply.github.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: detect bearer-token thin clients via host MCP registration (#2520) The #2051 thin-client fix keys detection on the remote_mcp marker in ~/.gbrain/config.json — but that marker is only written by the OAuth path (gbrain init --mcp-only). Bearer-token installs (gbrain connect <url> --token, gbrain's own recommended default for local/personal use) never touch config.json, so they fell through to the local probe, failed against the dead-or-absent local engine, and landed on missing-config / broken-db / broken-config / engine-locked — silently suppressing brain blocks for a fully-working remote brain. New evidence source: hasRemoteOnlyGbrainMcp() reads ~/.claude.json MCP registrations (user scope AND project scope) with the same classification rules as gstack-gbrain-detect's tier-3 fallback. File-read only — no subprocess, no network (a classifier network probe is the #1964 pathology). Wired at two sites in freshClassify: - missing-config branch: a bearer thin client may never have run a local init; if the host's only gbrain registration is remote-HTTP, that registration IS the brain → thin-client. - post-probe-failure demotion: broken-db / broken-config / engine-locked reclassify to thin-client when the only gbrain registration is remote. A local-stdio sibling registration blocks the demotion (federation guard: a user running a local engine plus a remote team brain keeps precise local statuses). "timeout" is excluded — already usable, and may be a genuinely healthy slow local engine. 7 new unit tests in test/gbrain-local-status.test.ts: user-scope, project- scope, engine-locked/broken-db demotion, federation guard, no-registration discriminator, end-to-end --is-ok gate (35 pass total in the file). Root-cause analysis by @d-danielsun in #2520. Fixes #2520 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: resolve GBRAIN_HOME with gbrain's parent-dir semantics (#2521) gstack treated GBRAIN_HOME as the config directory; gbrain's configDir() treats it as the PARENT and always appends `.gbrain` itself (the contract is explicit in gbrain's source: GBRAIN_HOME=/tmp/x → /tmp/x/.gbrain/ config.json). With GBRAIN_HOME set, gstack classified engine status from a file gbrain never reads — the probe's two halves (file checks vs the spawned `gbrain sources list`) looked at DIFFERENT installs, so any resulting status was arbitrary: missing-config/broken-config against healthy installs, or a thin-client marker gstack saw that gbrain itself reported as "No brain configured". New shared resolver `gbrainConfigDir()` in lib/gbrain-exec.ts is the single source of truth. All seven gstack sites route through the contract: - lib/gbrain-local-status.ts gbrainConfigPath (the classifier's file half) - bin/gstack-gbrain-detect GBRAIN_CONFIG + readRemoteMcpUrl - lib/gbrain-exec.ts buildGbrainEnv (the probe's DATABASE_URL seed — fixing only the classifier would have left the split-brain in the spawn half, flagged by the reporter) - lib/gbrain-guards.ts gbrainHome (clones-dir + autopilot-lock paths) - lib/gstack-memory-helpers.ts gbrainConfigPath (engine-tier fallback) - bin/gstack-gbrain-install pre-doctor config check (shell) Unit tests cover GBRAIN_HOME set (config found at $GBRAIN_HOME/.gbrain), the old flat layout explicitly NOT read (both classifier and buildGbrainEnv), and unset (~/.gbrain unchanged). Existing fixtures that encoded the deviant flat layout are updated to gbrain's contract. Root-cause analysis by @d-danielsun in #2521. Deviation from the 3-site plan spec: the same deviant resolution existed in four more sites (buildGbrainEnv, gbrain-guards, memory-helpers, gbrain-install); fixing only three would have left gstack disagreeing with itself as well as with gbrain, so the whole class moved to the shared resolver in one change. Fixes #2521 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: read project-scoped MCP registrations in gbrain detection (#2499) Claude Code registers MCP servers at two scopes in ~/.claude.json: user scope (.mcpServers) and project scope (.projects["/abs/path"].mcpServers — what `claude mcp add` WITHOUT --scope user writes). Every gbrain detection site read only user scope, so a correctly configured project-scoped brain was invisible: brain-aware blocks suppressed, remote-mode artifacts sync never recognised, and detectEndpointHash fell through to the 'local' literal — two different project-scoped brains hashed identically, so switching between them never invalidated the cache, the exact scenario the function's docstring says it exists to catch. Nothing errored; the features just quietly were not there. Two sites fixed: - scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-brain-sync-block.ts: the shared detection block (rendered into every tier-2+ SKILL.md) now resolves the gbrain entry ONCE into _GBRAIN_MCP_ENTRY — user scope first, then the nearest-ancestor project entry for $PWD that actually carries a gbrain server (longest matching key with a path-boundary check: /a/repo never matches /a/repo2; a nested project WITHOUT gbrain doesn't shadow its parent's registration). _GBRAIN_MCP_TYPE and _GBRAIN_HOST extract from the resolved entry, so claude.json is parsed once per skill start. All SKILL.md files regenerated in this commit; the ship golden fixtures and three carve-guard skeleton caps (plan-eng-review, plan-devex-review, office-hours; ~1.5KB rendered growth per skill) are refreshed with measured values. - bin/gstack-brain-cache detectEndpointHash: same resolution order in TS (user scope, else nearest-ancestor project entry by cwd, both path separators for Windows keys). Tests: rendered-output tests in test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts pin the regenerated block (static markers + a FUNCTIONAL run of the exact rendered lines against a fixture ~/.claude.json with only a project-scoped registration, plus an outside-cwd discriminator); detectEndpointHash unit tests in test/brain-cache-roundtrip.test.ts cover project-scope resolve, path-boundary, nearest-ancestor distinct hashes, and user-scope precedence.

Fixes #2499 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: /sync-gbrain respects an existing valid .gbrain-source pin (#2417) /sync-gbrain always derived a new worktree-scoped source ID, even when the repository already carried a valid .gbrain-source pin created through the native GBrain source workflow — silently bypassing the selected source boundary, registering a duplicate federated source, and routing later dream/cycle checks to the wrong source. Now a local pin is reused when it passes the fail-closed identity checks: the ID is syntactically valid, the source is registered, and the registered path realpath-resolves to the current checkout (so a stale or copied dotfile can't redirect a sync into another repo's source). A confirmed pin is treated as user-managed — synced and attached without add/remove, legacy migration, or federation changes. Dry-run stays spawn-free (reads only the local marker for previews). Missing, invalid, stale, or unreadable pins fall back to the existing generated source ID. Absorbs PR #2417 by @exGeni (applied via git am -3; 42 tests pass in test/gstack-gbrain-sync.test.ts including the new pin-respecting coverage: spawn-free dry-run, symlink-equivalent registered paths, non-dry-run sync/attach with no add/remove, dream routing, unreadable markers, config-backed env use).

Reproducible at ~15% by running 60 dry-runs concurrently, and the cause of intermittent red in the D5 detect-first tests, which call this exact path. The probe now also skips under --dry-run: requiring the network for a plan-print buys nothing and costs a real failure mode. Real installs still fail fast when offline rather than hanging git clone. Absorbs PR #2540 by @CarringtonCreative (applied via git am -3; 26 tests pass across test/gbrain-detect-install.test.ts + test/egress-receipt-wiring.test.ts). Fixes the offline/flake half of #2536.

A --version-path / .gstack/version-path target that is a package.json was read as raw text: the whitespace strip turned the JSON into '{"name":"frontend",... which parseVersion rejected, so every read — local, `git show`, and rival PRs' claims through the GitHub/GitLab Contents APIs — fell back to 0.0.0.0 and competing claims were dropped as "malformed". 2. parseVersion required exactly four components, so gstack-next-version exited 2 on EVERY invocation in a 3-digit repo. That CLI IS the queue-collision check; /ship then took its documented offline path of naive local arithmetic, two branches cut from the same base picked the same version, and git merged the duplicate without a conflict. New lib/version-source.ts holds the shared semantics so both CLIs agree by construction: parseVersion accepts 3- or 4-digit (3 pads the micro slot for uniform comparison), versionWidth/fmtVersion keep a 3-digit repo 3-digit through bumping and formatting, micro coerces to patch on 3-digit repos (with a warning in the output), and extractVersion reads a .json version-path as JSON (.version) from any byte source. gstack-version-bump treats a package.json version-path as that repo's single source of truth (written in place, DRIFT_* states can't arise — no second file to drift from). Detection is by shape, not new configuration. Scope per the wave plan's version-tooling end-state spec (decision 11, ENG-OV1): this is the READING capability + 3-digit acceptance ONLY. gstack's own VERSION file stays the 4-digit source of truth; nothing here flips authority to package.json. The PR's bundled fix for the .gstack/version-path pin being ignored by classify's base read lands separately (#2462) — these tests drive the JSON version-path through the explicit --version-path flag. Re-derived from PR #2501 by @YiftahR (73 tests pass across test/gstack-version-bump.test.ts, test/gstack-next-version.test.ts, test/ship-version-sync.test.ts).

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

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

Local arithmetic cannot see a sibling's claim, so the fallback allocated a version another open PR already held — observed in a downstream repo where two merged PRs both read v0.1.57.0 (and an audit found four such duplicate pairs over three weeks). New fetchGitClaimed() degrades the QUEUE VIEW without degrading the ALLOCATION: git already knows what the API was asked for. It reads every remote-tracking branch's pinned version file (through extractVersion, so JSON version-paths resolve on remote refs too and each branch's own digit width is preserved) plus the versions already shipped in the base's last 400 commit subjects (3- or 4-digit; the cap announces itself in warnings when it truncates). The fallback runs only when the host told us nothing — the online path is untouched — and the output gains a load-bearing `fallback: "git" | null` field that /ship can branch on, plus explicit warnings for both the recovered-from-git and the nothing-found cases. Tests: end-to-end stub-gh offline contract (fallback:'git' + a valid version + the warning), sibling-claim discovery from remote-tracking refs, the pick advancing past the sibling's claim, shipped-subject scanning, JSON version-path claims on remote refs, and non-repo degradation to a warning (45 pass in test/gstack-next-version.test.ts).

"VERSION"`). In a pinned repo with no explicit flag, base and current therefore read DIFFERENT files: current from the pinned file, base from the root VERSION. On a repo with no root VERSION, the base always read 0.0.0.0 — and the pinned-JSON handling never engaged, so a pinned package.json was read as raw text (currentVersion 0.0.0.0) and `write` would have overwritten the manifest with a bare version string. New resolveVersionRel() resolves the pin's REPO-RELATIVE form once (flag → .gstack/version-path first line → "VERSION"); classify, write, and repair all derive both the relative and absolute paths from it, so base and current reads can no longer diverge. The old resolveVersionPath (which returned an absolute path `git show` cannot use) is folded in. Unit tests (the ENG-OV6 spec case plus write/repair coverage): pin set + no flag → classify reads base AND current from the SAME pinned file (plain-text sub/VERSION and pinned frontend/package.json, both against a real git base with NO root VERSION anywhere), write updates the pinned manifest in place without inventing a root VERSION, repair treats the pinned JSON as single-source, and the explicit flag still overrides the pin (38 pass in test/gstack-version-bump.test.ts). Re-spec'd per ENG-OV6 from the report in #2462 (the originally-filed classify-read hypothesis was already handled; the live bug was the :138 versionRel derivation).

Pattern gaps (#2526, #2455). `*/api/*` required a path segment BEFORE api/, so a root-level api/ layout (Vercel serverless, Next.js pages/api at root) never set SCOPE_API — 63 serverless functions in the reporter's payments repo, none ever classified, the API-contract specialist silently skipped on every payment PR (it found a CRITICAL when run by hand). Same for root-level migrations/. And the Rails data_migrate gem's db/data/ data migrations — arbitrary Ruby run unattended against production data — fell through to plain BACKEND, so the [NEVER_GATE] data-migration specialist never got the chance to run. Added: api/*, migrations/*, db/data/*, data_migrations/*. 2. All-false was indistinguishable from "could not look" (#2526). New contract: empty change set → all false exit 0; >=1 match → flags exit 0; changed files with ZERO matches → SCOPE_ERROR=unmatched + the unmatched paths as comment lines + exit 2 (a new top-level layout now trips loudly instead of invisibly disabling reviewers); unresolvable base ref (shallow CI checkout) → SCOPE_ERROR=no_base + exit 2 instead of a green that means "we could not look". Every output line stays a shell-safe assignment or comment for sourcing consumers, which tolerate the nonzero exit today (source ... || true / eval). 3. Uncommitted work was invisible (#2299). /ship detects scope in Step 9, BEFORE it commits in Step 15, so the common start-work-then-ship flow ran the classifier against an empty diff and skipped every reviewer. The change set is now the UNION of committed diff + working tree + untracked files. Also from #2299: the single first-match-wins case made the nine flags mutually exclusive (Button.test.jsx set FRONTEND but not TESTS; util.test.ts the opposite) — each category now gets its own case, with BACKEND deliberately still excluding frontend component/view files. And file listing is NUL-safe (git diff -z), so non-ASCII paths no longer defeat extension globs via octal quoting. Deliberate behavior change (flagged in #2299): with independent flags, a backend test file sets BACKEND and TESTS, which can trip the security specialist's SCOPE_BACKEND gate on test-only PRs — errs toward more review, not less. Table-driven tests cover every glob class (root api/, nested api/, controllers, openapi, root/nested/prisma/db-migrate/db-data migrations, dual-category test files, auth, prompts, docs, plain classes), the four-state exit contract, dirty-tree + untracked visibility, and the non-ASCII path case (39 pass in test/diff-scope.test.ts).

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

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

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

Why: bun.lock pinned playwright(-core)@1.58.2, whose Chromium build macOS XProtect now kills on launch — browse is dead on macOS (#2554). 1.62.1 ships Chromium 151.0.7922.34 (headless shell v1234), which launches clean. Verification: bunx playwright install chromium (Chrome Headless Shell 151.0.7922.34 downloaded), then the full browse suite from browse/: 2016 pass / 32 skip / 2 fail across 129 files (133.9s). Both fails are playwright-independent: data-platform.test.ts "rejects paths in cwd" expects <cwd>/package.json to exist (browse/ has none; passes from repo root, the shard runner's cwd — 15/15), and stealth-webdriver.test.ts passes standalone (15/15) — a 5s-timeout flake under full-suite parallel load. Fixes the vehicle half of #2554 (self-heal lands next commit). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): XProtect launch-kill self-heal — classify, quarantine-clear, bounded reinstall (P0 #2554) macOS XProtect definition updates can start SIGKILLing the exact Chromium revision the lockfile pins (xprotectd killed revision 1208's headless shell at spawn; the failure surfaced as a generic launch timeout). New browse/src/xprotect-heal.ts heals it, once per process: - Classifier (F9): positive signatures sourced from the #2554 report + Playwright's launch-error format (signal=SIGKILL process-exit lines, and launch timeout WITH a <launched> marker), negative-checked FIRST against missing executable, spawn EACCES/EPERM, Linux sandbox denials, and plain exitCode=1 crashes. darwin-gated. - Heal (F4 one-shot, in-memory flag): clears com.apple.quarantine via `xattr -dr` on chromium* revision dirs in the Playwright cache ONLY — never a GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH bundle (probePoisonedChromiumBundle's scope contract, double-gated at the call sites via usesCustomExecutable). - Reinstall (E1/ENG-OV3): `bunx playwright install --force chromium` run FROM THE GSTACK INSTALL ROOT — the root whose node_modules/playwright-core/browsers.json pins the SAME chromium revision our embedded playwright-core expects (a cwd-resolved bunx would fetch latest and heal to the wrong revision). Bounded at 120s with a process-GROUP SIGKILL on timeout; on any heal failure the caller gets the ORIGINAL launch error + manual `bunx playwright install chromium` guidance — the CLI never hangs. - Verification (F9): post-install asserts the REGISTRY-derived executable path exists (the revision dir playwright-core 1.62.1 expects), not merely install exit 0. - Logging (F11): every action emits one structured stderr line ([browse:xprotect-heal] JSON). All three launch sites in browser-manager.ts (headless launch, headed launchPersistentContext, handoff relaunch) route through launchWithXProtectHeal with one post-heal retry. setup's ensure_playwright_browser failure path gains the same quarantine-clear (_clear_playwright_quarantine, Darwin-only, Playwright cache scope) before its Chromium reinstall. Tests: browse/test/xprotect-heal.test.ts — 33 pass (classifier both polarities, one-shot guard incl. failed-heal consumption, custom-executable scope, registry-revision expectation vs playwright-core browsers.json, install-root revision matching, quarantine-clear scope, wrapper retry + guidance surfacing). browser-manager unit/custom-chromium: 36 pass. bridge-chromium-e2e real-launch smoke: 3 pass. setup-windows-fallback ln-invariant: 9 pass. bash -n setup: clean. Fixes #2554. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): daemon owns signal policy — handleSIG*:false at launch sites + SIGHUP shutdown (#2220) Playwright's default handleSIGINT/handleSIGTERM/handleSIGHUP handlers close Chromium the moment the DAEMON process receives a signal — which fights the deliberate headless SIGTERM-ignore in server.ts (Claude Code's Bash sandbox fires SIGTERM when the parent shell exits between tool invocations; the daemon survives it by design, but Playwright's handler killed its browser out from under it). All three flags are now false at all three launch sites (headless launch, headed launchPersistentContext, handoff relaunch). ENG-OV4: the daemon had NO process-level SIGHUP handler (only SIGINT and the mode-aware SIGTERM handler), so flipping handleSIGHUP:false alone would remove the ONLY Chromium cleanup on hangup. server.ts now routes SIGHUP to activeShutdown — the same shutdown path SIGINT uses (closes Chromium, releases ports, removes the state file). Static tripwire (browse/test/launch-signal-flags.test.ts, house grep-style): every chromium.launch/launchPersistentContext site must carry the three flags (site count pinned at 3 so a NEW launch site trips it), server.ts must keep the SIGHUP→activeShutdown route, and the deliberate headless SIGTERM-ignore must still exist (the reason handleSIGTERM:false is safe — pinned in the test's header comment). Tests: launch-signal-flags 3 pass; browser-manager-unit 28 pass; bridge-chromium-e2e real-launch smoke 3 pass. Fixes #2220. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): absorb #2414 residuals — EPERM-alive liveness + Windows-dead test tripwires (re-derived) Re-derive of PR #2414 (SYKhayyat) onto current main. Most of the PR already landed in earlier waves: the tick-derived RESPAWN_GUARD_WINDOW_MS, the spawnTerminalAgent windowsHide flag, the process-liveness regression tests, and the browse/test import.meta.path sweep are all on main. Two pieces remained: 1. isProcessAlive EPERM semantics (error-handling.ts): on the signal-0 path, EPERM means the process EXISTS but we lack rights to signal it — that is ALIVE. Returning false made callers that validate liveness before killing (killAgentByRecord, the terminal-agent watchdog) skip the kill and respawn around a survivor — the self-reinforcing one-leak-per-tick chain from #2414/#2295. Matters for cross-user PID checks. 2. Six test/ files ADDED SINCE the PR reintroduced the exact Windows bug its second commit fixed: `new URL(import.meta.url).pathname` yields `/C:/Users/...` on Windows, so path.resolve prepends the cwd drive and every tripwire ENOENTs instead of asserting anything (egress-receipt, egress-lib, egress-receipt-wiring, gstack-egress-cli, pty-skill-seeding-wiring, skill-census). All six now use import.meta.path — Bun's absolute native path, identical arity. The remaining #2414 piece — replacing the Windows tasklist probe with signal-0 — lands as its own commit (#1952) on top of this shape. Tests: the 6 touched test files 47 pass; process-liveness-windows + error-handling 13 pass. Re-derived from PR #2414 by @SYKhayyat. Fixes the residual of #2295.

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

Exemptions carry reasons — the one today is domain-skill-commands' interactive $EDITOR spawn (stdio:'inherit'; CREATE_NO_WINDOW would detach a console editor into an invisible console). Tests: windows-spawn-hide 5 pass; file-permissions 19 pass; browse-client 28 pass; browser-skill-commands 29 pass (81/81 combined). Fixes the app-side half of #2160; closes out #2415's residuals. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): fail-fast busy-daemon semantics — never auto-kill an alive pid, add --force-restart (#2219) The CLI killed live-but-busy daemons: a heavy dev-mode page (cold-compiling Next.js route, timed-out navigation still churning) kept the daemon from answering /health longer than the old ~1s probe window (3 × 250ms), so the connection-error path declared it dead, SIGTERMed a healthy process, and every kill lost the session's tabs, cookies, and logins (reproduced 4/4 in the #2219 report). New contract (decision 9 / F10): - probeHealthWithBackoff is budget-based: ~8s total (HEALTH_PROBE_TOTAL_BUDGET_MS), 500ms intervals, each probe self-bounded at 2s — sized to the observed busy windows. - decideDaemonRestart (pure, exported, unit-tested) encodes the IRON RULE: healthy-after-probe → retry the SAME daemon; alive+unhealthy → "daemon busy — retry or --force-restart" + NONZERO exit, daemon untouched; only a DEAD pid (or an explicit --force-restart) reaches kill+restart. - --force-restart global flag (extractGlobalFlags): the one consent path that replaces a live daemon, always announcing the state it costs. - Wired at all three kill sites: sendCommand's connection-error branch, ensureServer's stale-state path (which previously killServer'd any alive pid whose single 2s health probe missed), and connect — which used to "Kill ANY existing server" and now refuses to replace a healthy daemon without 'browse disconnect' or --force-restart. pair-agent's internal headed switch passes --force-restart explicitly (the mode switch is that command's stated purpose), preserving its behavior. E5 IRON RULE regression tests (busy-daemon-iron-rule.test.ts, real spawned CLI + fake daemons + live sleep-pid stand-ins per the busy-daemon-recovery.test.ts pattern): healthy daemon SURVIVES connect (refused with guidance, pid alive, state file untouched); wedged-alive daemon + plain command → busy report, nonzero exit, pid alive; wedged daemon + --force-restart IS killed and a real replacement daemon serves the command. Plus pure-function coverage of all four decision outcomes and the ~8s budget pin. Tests: busy-daemon-iron-rule 8 pass (16.7s, includes a real daemon lifecycle); busy-daemon-recovery + proxy-config + daemon-mismatch-refuse + cli-lock + cli-start-final-healthcheck + cli-setsid-daemonize 39 pass.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): `stop` on a dead daemon is success — never boots a daemon to stop it (#2254) Two changes, one contract: - Pre-server short-circuit: `browse stop` is handled BEFORE ensureServer(). No daemon state → "nothing to stop", exit 0. Stale state (dead pid AND dead port) → clean the state file, exit 0. The old flow routed stop through ensureServer(), which started a fresh daemon + Chromium (multi-second boot, resource churn) purely so it could be told to shut down — or crashed on the stale state. - Reconnect branch: a connection error while sending `stop` where the pid turns out dead (daemon died mid-flight, between the short-circuit check and the send) is treated as SUCCESS — the desired end state (no daemon) already holds — instead of the crash-restart path. Integration tests (stop-dead-daemon.test.ts, real spawned CLI + scratch BROWSE_STATE_FILE): stop with no state exits 0 and spawns nothing (a spawned daemon would have written the state file); stop with a stale state file (dead pid + verified-closed port) exits 0, cleans the state, and spawns nothing. Tests: stop-dead-daemon 2 pass; busy-daemon-iron-rule 8 pass; busy-daemon-recovery 1 pass (11/11 combined). Fixes #2254. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(upgrade): /gstack-upgrade stops a stale daemon — deferring to a busy one (#2551) A browse daemon started before an upgrade keeps serving the OLD binary's code after `git reset --hard` + `./setup` — the running process holds the old executable, so users on the "new" version kept getting pre-upgrade behavior (and config-mismatch refusals against the new CLI) until they happened to stop it by hand. New unconditional Step 4.8 in gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md.tmpl (+ regen, same commit): compare the running daemon's recorded binaryVersion (the readVersionHash git-SHA the server stamps into its state file) against the freshly built browse/dist/.version. - Stale + responsive → `browse stop` (graceful), telling the user old→new hash; the next command boots a daemon on the new binary. - Stale + BUSY → DEFER (decision 10): never kill a busy daemon during upgrade. Print the old→new hash and the escape hatch — `browse stop` when it finishes, or `browse --force-restart stop` now. - Dead pid / matching hash / no state → silent no-op.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): terminal-agent allocates from the fixed port scan range, not port:0 (#2314) The terminal-agent bound `Bun.serve({ port: 0 })` and kept that OS-assigned port for its whole (weeks-long) lifetime. `port: 0` draws from the OS EPHEMERAL range (49152-65535 on macOS) — the exact pool every short-lived `app.listen(0)` test server draws from — so the agent squatted ports that test suites expected to receive and silently absorbed their traffic as phantom 404s (two squatting daemons verified in the report). Fix per decision 8: extract the main server's port allocation into browse/src/port-allocator.ts (checkPortAvailable / isPortAvailable / findAvailablePort + the 10000-60000 range constants and the actionable sandbox-vs-occupied error formatters, all verbatim from server.ts) and make BOTH long-lived listeners use it — server.ts's findPort is now a thin findAvailablePort(BROWSE_PORT) wrapper, and terminal-agent's buildServer takes a pre-allocated port from the same range. No terminal-port consumer carries a range assumption (they read the port file), verified by grep. Tests: terminal-agent-port-range (new — allocator stays inside 10000-60000 and below the 49152 ephemeral floor, explicit-port honored, occupied-explicit throws, static tripwires pin no-port:0 in terminal-agent.ts and the shared wrapper in server.ts) + findport + terminal-agent-integration/session-routing/detach-reattach + dual-listener: 67 pass, 0 fail. Fixes #2314. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): capture daemon stdout/stderr to browse-daemon.log + Windows polyfill spawn fixes (re-derived from #2461) The detached daemon's stdout/stderr were wired to 'ignore' on every platform, so every console.error('[browse] FATAL: ...') from a Chromium crash, uncaughtException, or unhandledRejection was discarded at the OS level — a crash-and-respawn looked identical to every other dropped session, with nothing on disk recording why. Both spawn paths now redirect to <stateDir>/browse-daemon.log (append mode, accumulates across respawns): the Unix path via an fd from openDaemonLogSink(), the Windows path by opening the fd INSIDE the node -e launcher string (an fd opened in cli.ts would not cross the spawn boundary). Unwritable state dir falls back to 'ignore' rather than failing the launch. Capturing daemon output is what surfaced the PR's second fix, still valid on current main: bun-polyfill.cjs's Bun.spawn/spawnSync called Node's child_process with a bare command name, which Windows can't resolve without PATHEXT lookup ("spawn bun ENOENT" from the terminal-agent respawn path). Routed through cross-spawn on win32 (now a direct dependency; already in the tree transitively via @modelcontextprotocol/sdk) — the PR verified empirically that shell:true does NOT neutralize cmd.exe metacharacters reachable via `$B skill run` arg passthrough, and that Node refuses .cmd spawns without a shell (CVE-2024-27980), so cross-spawn's combined PATHEXT resolution + argument escaping is the only correct shape. The PR's third fix (resolveDisconnectCause throwing "browser?.process is not a function") already landed on main via the #2085 typeof guard — not re-applied. F6 log hygiene (daemon-log-hygiene.test.ts): needle tests pin the log wiring on both spawn paths (and that stdio 'ignore','ignore','ignore' never returns), that bun-polyfill stays on cross-spawn with no shell:true, that NO console.* call in src/ passes a token value (interpolated or bare arg), and that the page-content carrier modules (tab-session, buffers, content-security, activity) stay console-free — so neither AUTH_TOKEN nor unsanitized page-derived strings can reach browse-daemon.log. Tests: daemon-log-hygiene + bun-polyfill + windows-spawn-hide + cli-setsid-daemonize 21 pass; stop-dead-daemon + busy-daemon-iron-rule (exercises a REAL daemon boot through the new log-fd wiring) 10 pass.

A cold spawn takes over the 2s timeout in resolveGbrainBin (warm runs are ~700ms), so the probe times out, localEngineStatus classifies the engine as "no-cli", and the 60s status cache then serves that false negative to every skill preamble and sync run. /sync-gbrain skips the memory stage with "gbrain CLI not on PATH" even though the CLI works.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There is no user decision between those invocations; each rerun just repeats the workflow until a review pass produces no fixes. ship/sections/review-army.md.tmpl item 7 now makes the loop explicit: after committing fixes, re-run the test suite (Step 5) and this review (Step 9 items 2-6) in the SAME invocation, repeating until one full pass applies zero fixes, then continue to Step 12. Bounded at 3 fix cycles — a review that will not converge STOPs with a report of which findings keep reappearing (a genuine blocker), never with a rerun request. test/ship-review-loop.test.ts asserts no rendered ship surface (section + all three host goldens) carries the STOP-and-rerun shape and that the bounded loop language renders.

Verdicts: MODEL_OK (cached 1h, keyed on config.toml + auth.json mtimes so a pin edit or re-login re-probes immediately), MODEL_UNUSABLE (exit 1, prints the rejection plus HINTs at the model= pin and the [notice.model_migrations] table), MODEL_PROBE_INCONCLUSIVE (timeout or transient: FAIL-OPEN so network luck never wedges codex mode). The 'Model not supported (HTTP 400)' Error Handling entry already shipped in v1.64.0.0; Step 0.5's prose now routes MODEL_UNUSABLE to it. test/codex-model-probe.test.ts drives all four behaviors against a stubbed codex binary (invocation-counted cache hit, hint content, fail-open polarity, mtime invalidation).

Detection per maintainer decision 7: a presence probe of the Codex session env. A live Codex session exports CODEX_THREAD_ID and CODEX_SANDBOX into every shell it spawns — verified during implementation against a live `codex exec 'env | grep -i codex'` capture on codex 0.147.0 (CODEX_THREAD_ID, CODEX_SANDBOX=seatbelt, CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED=1, CODEX_CI=1). The shared codexPreflight in scripts/resolvers/constants.ts (consumed by all three review.ts army blocks: adversarial, codex plan review, codex doc review) now yields CODEX_MODE=under_codex and instructs exactly one printed notice — '[running under Codex — nested codex passes skipped; set GSTACK_FORCE_CODEX_REVIEW=1 to force]'. The override env var forces the nested passes for users who really want them. codex/SKILL.md.tmpl Step 0.5 gains the same probe: /codex under a Codex host stops with a one-line notice, since its whole value is a SECOND model's opinion. test/codex-under-codex-detection.test.ts runs the rendered preflight bash under all four env combinations (thread-id only, sandbox only, forced, clean) and asserts the probe + notice render in the three preflight consumers and the codex skill.

That path is the Codex CLI's own config file — the same user-facing class as the already-exempt ~/.codex/sessions/ — so it is scrubbed before the host-path ban, with the reasoning recorded next to the existing exemptions.

Every base-pack brain therefore got the pack-capability WARN with its wrong, costly remediation ("switch schema packs"), masking real graph problems.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): assemble redact fixtures at runtime — the guard caught its own wave The pre-push redact guard BLOCKED this branch's first push: the wave's new scan-range tests carried live-FORMAT fake credentials as literals (3 AWS key shapes + a password-bearing DB URL), and the guard scans pushed diff bytes. Same dogfood moment as the v1.64 wave, same rule: assemble the fixture at runtime so the diff never carries a credential shape, never bypass the guard. Runtime strings stay live-format for the hook under test. The guard works. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): sync ios-qa fixture mirrors with the #2585 DEBUG-guard templates The #2585 absorb updated DebugBridgeTouch.m.template and Package.swift.template but not their FixtureApp mirrors, failing the template↔fixture parity gate. DebugBridgeTouch.m syncs byte-for-byte; the fixture Package.swift takes only the template's new cSettings DEBUG define on the Touch target (the fixture's own testTarget is fixture-only content the parity normalization deliberately ignores — a naive full copy breaks the XCTest invariant). 23/23 including the real swift build. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(slug): env-override runs never persist to the cwd cache; cache is GSTACK_HOME-aware Found while closing the wave's eval gate: a test exporting GSTACK_PROJECT_SLUG from the repo root persisted the override into the cwd slug cache, silently rebinding the ENTIRE repo's session state (evals, decisions, timelines) to the test's slug for every later env-less run. The escape hatch is per-invocation by contract — it no longer writes the cache. The cache dir also hardcoded $HOME while lib/bin-context.ts's native port (#2561) reads it GSTACK_HOME-aware, so temp-home test runs littered the real ~/.gstack (observed: 2,528 stale temp-cwd entries, swept). Writer and reader now key the same GSTACK_HOME-aware cache; regression tests pin both behaviors. Also raises the cso --diff eval budget (240s/25t → 360s/40t): transcript-verified, the wave's legitimately-grown audit session completes the report and dies in closing telemetry at ~215s under the old budget; the full-audit sibling already runs at 300s. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): pin GSTACK_HOME in the slug walk-up cache tests The cache dir became GSTACK_HOME-aware; these tests seed and assert cache files under a temp HOME but spread the ambient env, so a sibling test leaking process.env.GSTACK_HOME in a shared-process shard pointed the bin at a different cache than the one under assertion (AC-2/AC-6 failed in shard context, passed solo). The env now pins GSTACK_HOME to the temp home — verified identical results with and without a simulated ambient leak. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): the cache-hygiene test strips ambient GSTACK_PROJECT_SLUG Its env-less contract must be env-less: any ambient override leaking into a shared-process shard flips the run into override mode, which correctly skips the cache write the test asserts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): ratchet ship's skeleton cap for the v1.66.1 merge union Merging main's v1.66.1.0 (evidence-ledger prose in ship's template) on top of the wave's growth lands ship at 90,333 bytes, 333 over its cap. Re-measured per the ratchet protocol: cap 90,800. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(brain-sync): throttle + bound the detector push; empty-queue fast path Review-army findings on the #2549 detector. (1) The preamble runs --once at every skill boundary, so an unthrottled retry paid a full network push attempt per boundary in exactly the steady states it targets (offline, broken auth) — a captive-portal push can block 30-75s against the header's "<1s when idle" promise. Attempts now stamp .brain-last-push-attempt and retry at most every 10 minutes; the push never prompts (GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0) and bounds stalled transfers via git's low-speed limits (portable — stock macOS has no timeout binary). (2) Author-scoped: only gstack-brain-sync's own commits retry; a user's manual commit in ~/.gstack rides along on real drains as before, never auto-published by the detector. (3) Empty-queue fast path exits before the compute/rewrite python spawns — the steady state is now cheaper than the pre-wave truncation code. (4) The queue rewrite warns on failure instead of silently letting the status claim a drain that didn't happen, counts held unparseable lines, and collapses duplicate lines on rewrite. Throttle + delivery matrix cases added (37/37). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(version-bump): JSON version-paths get the npm translation; honest recovery messages Review-army findings. A repo whose package.json carries the legacy 4-digit mirror and pins it via .gstack/version-path would get "1.67.0.1" written into a manifest npm rejects forever, with no drift state to catch it (a JSON source is self-consistent by construction) — the JSON branch now writes the npm-valid translation, warns when translation occurred, and surfaces the requested form. Lockfile-failure messages now match reality per failure point: classify never reads lockfiles, so "re-run and repair" was a false promise when package.json was written and only the lockfile threw. Both malformed-version messages read MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[.MICRO], matching the 3-digit contract this wave ships. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(extension): remove the orphaned security-banner block; repair two dead CSS tokens Design-review findings. The 197-line .security-banner component (incl. its keyframes) had no producer — no JS has created the element since the chat-path rip, the same dead-hidden-security-UI class as the #2557 shield this wave removed; a tombstone comment points at git history if the banner UX returns. Two pre-existing token bugs in the mem-toast styles: --zinc-700 was never defined so the button hover computed to transparent (now carries a fallback), and --font-sans doesn't exist (now --font-system, which :root defines). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(brain-sync): detector pushes only when ALL unpushed commits are its own; lock released on every exit The unpushed-commit detector's author check was existential: any bot-authored commit in origin/<branch>..HEAD armed a push of HEAD, silently publishing interleaved user-authored commits in ~/.gstack. Now the gate requires the author-scoped count to equal the total unpushed count — one user commit disables the autonomous retry entirely (user commits still ride along when a real drain pushes). Detached HEAD is excluded (origin/HEAD usually resolves, making the retry a 10-minutely doomed push). The lock-release trap now installs immediately after lock acquisition instead of after the empty-queue fast path — the steady state at every skill boundary leaked the lock dir and relied on stale-PID detection, which PID reuse defeats. An INT during the detector's network push is covered too. Matrix test: interleaved user commit blocks the detector, then a real drain delivers everything. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(version-bump): version-path and package-json-path pins cannot escape the repository .gstack/version-path and .gstack/package-json-path are repo-controlled content. A cloned repo pinning '../../victim.json' — or an in-repo symlink pointing outside — turned a routine bump into an arbitrary file overwrite outside the repository. assertRepoContained rejects absolute paths, lexical .. escapes, and symlink escapes (deepest existing ancestor realpath'd, so a not-yet-created VERSION file is checked through its parent). Lockfiles that are symlinks resolving outside the repo are skipped with a warning instead of written through. Six containment tests including the not-over-broad control (subdirectory pins keep working). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): port allocator range actually stays below the ephemeral floor; terminal-agent retries a raced bind RANDOM_PORT_MAX was 60000 while the module header documents 49152-65535 as the pool to avoid — ~22% of allocations landed back inside it, preserving the phantom-404 squatting class for both the daemon and the weeks-lived terminal-agent. The cap is now 49151 and the range test pins the true property (< 49152) instead of the old <= 60000 tautology. terminal-agent boot also re-allocates and retries up to 5 times when Bun.serve throws in the probe-then-bind TOCTOU window — previously a concurrent bind killed the boot with no retry via main().catch → exit 1. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(codex-probe): bash-native watchdog when no timeout binary exists; negative-cache the deterministic model 400 Stock macOS ships neither coreutils gtimeout nor timeout(1); the wrapper's fallback ran the command unwrapped, so a hung codex exec blocked the probe and the calling workflow indefinitely. The fallback now backgrounds the command, TERMs it at the deadline, and mirrors timeout(1)'s exit-124 contract — with the watchdog's stdout detached so an early finish never blocks a caller's $(...) capture on the orphaned sleep. MODEL_UNUSABLE is now negative-cached for 15 minutes (same exit-1 + hints from cache). The deterministic 400 is config-driven, so re-probing every preflight charged the affected user a 30s round trip plus real tokens per review section, forever. Editing config.toml — the fix — changes the cache signature and re-probes immediately; MODEL_PROBE_INCONCLUSIVE stays uncached. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): xprotect heal resolves the install root via os.homedir and keeps guidance on a failed retry With HOME unset, the global-install candidate became the RELATIVE path .claude/skills/gstack under the daemon's cwd — often an untrusted repo being QA'd, whose planted node_modules would then be where the heal runs the playwright install (repo-controlled code execution). os.homedir() plus an absolute-or-skip guard closes the class. launchWithXProtectHeal also wraps the post-heal retry: a second classified failure previously propagated raw, dropping the manual-remediation guidance exactly when the automatic path had just proven insufficient. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(make-pdf): --strict and --confidential join BOOLEAN_FLAGS; the guard test derives the set from source Both flags are read as '=== true' booleans but were missing from BOOLEAN_FLAGS, so 'generate --strict essay.md' still ate essay.md as the flag's value — the exact #2514 failure the set exists to prevent. The completeness guard hardcoded six names and could not catch it; it now derives every boolean read from cli.ts itself (direct reads plus booleanFlag pairs), so the next boolean flag fails the suite until it joins the set. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(todos): file the v1.67 adversarial-review residuals + coverage-audit test-gap backlog Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * v1.67.0.0: version bump (MINOR — full-tracker fix wave, pre-approved) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(changelog): v1.67.0.0 release summary + itemized changes with contributor credits Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(todos): mark the 2026-08-14 tracker-audit waves shipped in v1.67; re-file the four residuals Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(uninstall): provenance-gate the shape-2 and cursor sweeps; document the alias-name coupling Three ways gstack-uninstall could touch a user's own skills: - Shape 2 (real dir + symlinked SKILL.md) matched the link target against a bare *gstack* substring, so a skill symlinked from ~/tools/gstack-fork/ was wiped on uninstall. The gate now requires "gstack" as an anchored path segment (gstack/*|*/gstack/*, same pattern as shape 1) AND the dir name in gstack's skill inventory (parity with shape 3); anything else is listed to stderr, never deleted. - The new Cursor removals (~/.cursor/skills/gstack* and repo-local .cursor/skills/gstack*) rm -rf'd any glob match with no provenance check, so a hand-written ~/.cursor/skills/gstack-fork-notes was swept. Real dirs now require the AUTO-GENERATED banner in SKILL.md; non-matching dirs are kept and listed. Legacy codex/factory/kiro globs are untouched (tracked in TODOS as a follow-up). - The _INVENTORY seed list hardcodes alias names created by setup's _install_alias_skill_md; both sites now carry mirrored keep-in-sync comments so a renamed alias can't silently strand its dir. The skipped-entry report moves to the end of the run so cursor skips are listed alongside the Claude ones. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(redact): env.kv stops flagging cacheKey-style names; prepush exclusion scoped to the push remote Two calibration/coverage fixes in the redaction guard: - env.kv's zero-or-more-prefix regex fired on ANY identifier ending in a credential suffix, so ordinary code (cacheKey:, sortKey:, partitionKey:, hotkey:, even monkey:) with an 8+-char entropic value hit a MEDIUM confirm prompt — a gate that cries wolf gets ignored. A name now only counts when its shape is credential-semantic: suffix separated by _/-/. (api_key, x-access-key, AUTH.TOKEN), a bare suffix (key:, token:), ALL-CAPS env style (APIKEY=, MY_APIKEY=), or a camel compound with a credential prefix (apiKey, authToken, clientSecret). The value stays capture group 1, so the shape check lives in validate (isCredentialShapedEnvName), not the regex. - gstack-redact-prepush's narrowing excluded commits reachable from ANY remote (`--not --remotes`), so a secret that had only ever reached a private/local-path remote was never scanned when later pushed to a PUBLIC remote. The exclusion is now scoped to the push target (`--remotes=<name>/*`) via the remote name git hands pre-push as $1 (the installed wrapper already forwards "$@"); stdin/CLI invocations and URL pushes without a configured name fall back to the historical all-remotes behavior. #2592's catch-up-merge fix is unaffected: upstream commits come from the same remote being pushed to. New coverage: env.kv negative controls (cacheKey/sortKey/partitionKey/ hotkey/monkey/idempotencyKey) + positive controls for all four name shapes; end-to-end hook tests proving a second-remote secret blocks a push to origin while origin-published catch-up content still doesn't, plus both fallbacks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): honest probe budget, bounded daemon log, single refusal source, liveness + reinstall coverage Five hardening items in the browse CLI and its tests: - probeHealthWithBackoff's advertised ~8s budget could really run ~10s: the final 2s probe could start 1ms before the deadline, and every call site had JUST run a failed probe yet the loop re-probed immediately. Iterations now start with the sleep and each probe's timeout clamps to the remaining budget (isServerHealthy takes an injectable timeout). - browse-daemon.log is append-mode across every respawn with no size cap, so a crash-respawn loop fills the disk. The path is now built in one place (daemonLogPath — the Unix fd path and the Windows launcher string had two spellings) and daemon start rotates a >10MB log to browse-daemon.log.1, single generation, matching the repo's 10MB rotation convention. Rotation is exported + injectable and behaviorally unit-tested. - The two "healthy daemon already running" refusal blocks in connect had already drifted (one lost the tabs/cookies/logins explainer) — extracted refuseHeadedOverLiveDaemon as the single source. - process-liveness: pinned the EPERM-means-alive contract (PID 1 on POSIX, PID 4 on Windows — signalable-or-EPERM, both alive). A probe that reads EPERM as dead is the false negative that leaked agents. - runBoundedChromiumReinstall had zero coverage: now exercised end-to-end against a stub bunx on a prepended PATH — exit 0, install-exit-N with stderr tail, the detached group-kill timeout path (child of the child dies too), and spawn-error. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hooks): timeline Stop hook reads a 256KB tail instead of the whole file The Stop hook runs on EVERY Claude Code turn machine-wide and re-read + JSON-parsed the entire timeline each time, scaling to the 10MB size cap (~100-300ms per turn of pure overhead). It now reads only the last 256KB via fstat + positioned read, discarding the first partial line when the window starts mid-file. Semantics: a dangling "started" older than the last 256KB of appends belongs to a session long gone — beyond repair interest. The window can never fabricate a dangling entry ("completed" is always appended AFTER its "started", so any started inside the window has its completion inside the window too), so idempotency holds. The fail-open contract is unchanged: exit 0 always, size cap kept, deadline re-checked before the write. New test: a >256KB timeline where a recent dangling entry still gets repaired while an old out-of-window dangler is left alone; all existing fail-open cases pass unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): Windows runtime-asset copies prune nested gitignored build output _link_skill_runtime_assets' exclusion list filters DIRECT children only, so the Windows cp -R real-copy path swept NESTED gitignored build output into the installed skill dirs — concretely, ios-qa/scripts/gen-accessors-tool/ .build is 252MB per install. The IS_WINDOWS real-copy branch now prunes nested node_modules/.build/dist post-copy (find -prune -exec rm -rf). Scoped to _link_skill_runtime_assets ONLY: the generic _link_or_copy stays untouched because runtime roots (browse/, design/) intentionally copy their dist/ binaries. On Unix the assets are symlinks into the working tree, and the prune is gated on the real-copy shape so it can never delete build output from the repo through a link — both directions pinned in test/setup-windows-rerun-refresh.test.ts with fixture trees. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(upgrade): migrations see the real install dir; stash can no longer resurrect stale renders Two ways the v1.67 render-dirt cleanup was inert in the wired upgrade flow: - Both migration runners invoked `bash "$migration"` without GSTACK_INSTALL_DIR, so migrations that clean the INSTALL (v1.67.0.0.sh defaults to ~/.claude/skills/gstack when unset) silently no-oped for repo-local installs. setup now passes "$SOURCE_GSTACK_DIR" and the /gstack-upgrade Step 4.75 runner passes the detected "$INSTALL_DIR". - /gstack-upgrade Step 4 ran `git stash` BEFORE reset+setup, so the tree was always clean by the time the migration ran, the legacy render dirt landed in stash@{0}, and Step 4's own note then told the user to `git stash pop` — restoring stale generated SKILL.md over the fresh checkout permanently. Step 4 now discards the render footprint (generated SKILL.md and sections/*.md modifications only, the same classification as migrations/v1.67.0.0.sh) BEFORE stashing, so the stash only ever carries real user changes; the stash-pop note says the render dirt was discarded and regenerates. The migration stays for manual git-pull flows. Template change regenerated for all 3 hosts (claude tree checked in; codex/factory trees are gitignored render outputs). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): stop --force-restart kills the live daemon directly instead of booting a fresh one `browse stop --force-restart` on a live-but-busy daemon fell through the stop short-circuit into ensureServer(), whose force-restart path kills the daemon and then STARTS A FRESH ONE (daemon + Chromium, multi-second churn) just so sendCommand('stop') can shut it down again — the #2254 churn in force clothing. gstack-upgrade's Step 4.8 sends users down exactly this path when a stale daemon is busy after an upgrade. The stop short-circuit now handles it: live pid + --force-restart → kill the daemon (tree-kill on Windows, TERM→KILL on POSIX), reap the orphaned Chromium + clear profile locks, remove the state file, exit 0 — no server is ever started. Pinned in stop-dead-daemon.test.ts: a wedged live "daemon" is killed, the state file stays gone (a booted daemon would have rewritten it), and no Starting/Restarting output appears. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hooks): timeline repair counts started vs completed per key instead of set-masking The dangling-event repair kept only the FIRST "started" entry per skill+session key and treated "completed" as a set, so any key where one run completed and another dangles was never repaired — and keys are not unique per run: legacy entries with no session field all share the bare-skill key, and the preamble's "$$-epoch" session ids collide within the same second. One old completion masked every future dangler forever. The hook now counts started vs completed per key and appends completions for the DIFFERENCE. Idempotency holds by construction: the appended completions balance the counts, so the next Stop appends nothing. Pinned with the two-runs-one-dangling case plus a re-run no-op assertion; all existing fail-open cases pass unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): Windows refresh bypass no longer deletes a user's own skill dirs The #2444 IS_WINDOWS refresh bypass (link_codex/factory/opencode/cursor _skill_dirs) rm -rf's the destination before re-copying — and the host skills dirs are SHARED namespaces, so the gstack* glob can land on a user's OWN real directory (e.g. ~/.cursor/skills/gstack-notes). Every ./setup re-run silently deleted it — the ownership guard the comments still claimed (#2142). The sidecar installers had the same shape against a hand-written skill squatting on the canonical .../skills/gstack root, and create_cursor_runtime_root wiped that root unconditionally on every platform. Same provenance model as bin/gstack-uninstall (#2563): - _owned_for_windows_refresh: a real dir is only replaced when its SKILL.md carries the AUTO-GENERATED banner; symlinks and missing targets always pass. Non-matching dirs are kept and listed to stderr. Wired into all four *_skill_dirs loops. - _sidecar_root_user_owned: a root whose SKILL.md exists WITHOUT the banner is the user's — create_agents_sidecar, create_cursor_sidecar, and create_cursor_runtime_root skip it entirely instead of writing into (or wiping) someone else's skill. A root with no SKILL.md stays presumed ours (the documented install location; old/partial installs look like that). Pinned by a static census (every bypass site must carry its gate) plus behavior fixtures: a bannerless user dir survives the Windows re-run while a bannered install still refreshes, and a squatted sidecar root is left untouched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(render): a failed brain-aware render can no longer vanish the installed skill set Both render sites (setup's gbrain step and gstack-config gbrain-refresh) ran `rm -rf` on the LIVE render dir BEFORE invoking gen:skill-docs:user. Installed skills symlink into that dir (relink prefers it), so one transient render failure — bun error, disk full, broken template — left every brain-aware skill's SKILL.md symlink dangling: the whole skill set vanished from Claude Code until a successful re-render. Both sites now render into "$RENDER_DIR.tmp.$$" and swap it in only on SUCCESS via a shared-contract _swap_in_render helper (mv old away, mv tmp in, drop old — links into the live path stay valid because the path never changes). The failure branch removes only the tmp dir and says so: the previous render, and every link into it, stays fully intact. The deliberate wipe on the gbrain-GONE path (stale render shadowing canonical files) is unchanged. Pinned in test/user-render-out-dir-install.test.ts: static shape (render targets the TMP dir, never the live dir), _swap_in_render driven behaviorally from BOTH files, and an end-to-end failure-branch fixture proving a pre-existing render plus an installed symlink survive a failed render. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test+docs: codex probe cache invalidation coverage, make-pdf --no-* structural pin, file the review-batch deferrals - test/codex-model-probe.test.ts: the 1h TTL and the auth.json half of the mtime signature had no coverage — a regression in either would silently serve a stale MODEL_OK after re-login or forever. Added TTL-expiry (backdated cache line re-probes) and auth.json-mtime invalidation cases, mirroring the existing config.toml case. - make-pdf/test/cli-args.test.ts: structural assertion derived from the commands.ts registry — every --no-* flag must be in BOOLEAN_FLAGS, so a new negation flag can't silently re-open #2514 (swallowing the next positional). - TODOS.md: filed five review-batch deferrals under the v1.67 queue with rationale and effort: setup host-function dedup, cmd.exe %VAR% quoting in gbrainInvocation (cross-spawn direction), make-pdf flag registry metadata (derive BOOLEAN_FLAGS), legacy codex/factory/kiro uninstall provenance gating (parity with the cursor gate), and cursor auto-detect breadth (product call). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): package.json version check accepts the decision-11 npm translation The bump wrote the npm-valid 3-digit manifest version for the first time this release; the old assertion demanded byte-equality with the 4-digit VERSION. Accept the translation plus the grandfathered pre-v1.67 mirror, matching gstack-version-bump's own drift contract. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: sync project documentation with the v1.67.0.0 fix wave Port range 10000-49151 + busy-vs-dead daemon semantics + XProtect launch heal + browse-daemon.log in BROWSER.md/ARCHITECTURE.md; #2557 dead security surface (shield, L4b Haiku, DeBERTa ensemble, canary injector) marked removed in README/ARCHITECTURE per CLAUDE.md's do-not-redocument note; runtime-asset installs + alias copies in CONTRIBUTING/CLAUDE.md; manual uninstall fixed for asset-bearing dirs, alias copies, cursor/opencode roots, and the timeline Stop hook; gbrain-refresh out-dir render path; npm-valid package.json version translation documented in CLAUDE.md; patches/ in the project tree; two CHANGELOG accuracy fixes (-272 net lines, upgrade-time quarantine-clear) + release-summary em-dash polish.

The image-tag hash in all three workflows (ci-image, evals, evals-periodic — kept in lockstep) now includes patches/** so editing a patch rebuilds the layer instead of serving a stale cache. Verified: the exact COPY set (package.json + bun.lock + patches) installs clean in a Linux container; without patches it reproduces the CI failure. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(codex-probe): cache signature uses GNU-first stat with numeric validation On GNU stat, -f means FILESYSTEM mode — the BSD-first form emitted a multi-line filesystem block on Linux, so the cache signature never matched its own cache line and the model-probe cache missed on every read (each preflight re-paid the probe). Same class and same fix as #2195: GNU -c %Y first, BSD -f %m fallback, non-numeric residue coerced to 0. Verified: the probe test file passes 7/7 under real GNU stat in a Linux container (it failed 2/7 on Linux CI before). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): first cross-platform run of the wave's tests — Linux tmp portability + Windows-lane truthfulness Four platform holes from the lanes' first full run over the v1.67 tests: - uninstall neutral-root fallback hardcoded /private/tmp (macOS-only) and ENOENT'd on Linux CI, where the shard TMPDIR is the gstack-containing path that forces the fallback — now realpath'd literal /tmp. - uninstall's kept-and-listed assertion demanded a backslash path on Windows while the bash uninstall prints POSIX paths — now separator-insensitive. - setup-rerun's IS_WINDOWS=0 sub-case and the iron rule's force-restart consent path are Unix-shaped by construction (Git Bash ln -snf copies without Developer Mode; the consent path boots a real replacement daemon the browserless Windows lane cannot host) — gated off win32 with the reasons in place; the Windows-relevant halves still run there. - codex-under-codex-detection drives rendered bash under a hardcoded POSIX PATH, so every case saw empty output on Windows — moved to KNOWN_WINDOWS_INCOMPATIBLE with the run receipt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ci-image): stage patches/ into the narrow build context in all three workflows The image builds from context .github/docker, into which a staging step copies package.json + bun.lock — the previous fix added COPY patches to the Dockerfile but not patches/ to that staging, so buildx failed computing the COPY checksum ('/patches: not found'). All three workflows (ci-image, evals, evals-periodic) stage identically, in lockstep with the shared tag hash. Verified: a build over the exact staged context resolves both COPY layers.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5	c118e2402e	v1.64.1.0 v1.64.1.0: the code-smell fix wave — every pipeline guard now provably fires (net −24,943 lines) (#2572) ... * fix(ci): skill-docs freshness gate covers all 10 hosts and can actually fail The Codex/Factory gates ran 'git diff --exit-code -- .agents/' / '-- .factory/', but both paths are gitignored (.gitignore:16-17) — git diff on ignored untracked paths is always empty, so those two gates were structurally incapable of failing and 7 of 10 hosts had no gate at all. New shape: one 'gen:skill-docs --host all' pass (the generator hard-fails on any per-host error, gating all 10 hosts on generates-cleanly), byte-freshness via git diff for tracked output, plus a porcelain check that fails on untracked generated strays (git diff can't see brand-new files). The gitignored-hosts byte-freshness limitation is documented in the workflow comment. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): exorcise the sidebar-agent ghost from the test suite browse/src/sidebar-agent.ts was deleted in the v1.14 sidebar refactor, but the test suite kept testing it for 48 versions. Nothing noticed because the free suite runs in no CI job and Bun-era module-load errors were suppressed in the Windows shard runner via an exclusion pattern whose own comment documented the breakage ('broken on every platform since v1.14 ... exit 0'). - Delete sidebar-security.test.ts + security-source-contracts.test.ts: crashed at module load (unguarded readFileSync of the deleted file); per-assertion triage confirmed every SERVER_SRC pin targeted the deleted chat prompt builder (zero hits in today's server.ts) — nothing to port. - Delete sidebar-integration.test.ts: 11 of 13 tests exercised deleted endpoints (/sidebar-command queue, /sidebar-agent/event, chat buffer); the 2 passing tests pinned only the blanket auth gate, covered by server-auth.test.ts + dual-listener.test.ts. - Delete test/skill-e2e-sidebar.test.ts: E2E for the deleted queue flow. - sidebar-ux.test.ts 1,669 -> 830 lines: 20 dead-chat describes + 15 dead tests removed (incl. 10 vacuous passes asserting on empty indexOf slices); 2 stale pins on LIVE features fixed (content.js typed-catch CSSOM fallback, arrow-hint window widened). 95 pass / 0 fail. - sidebar-tabs.test.ts: both failures were stale pins, not regressions — forceRestart's deliberate ws.close(4001) and the terminal-agent spawn that moved into spawnTerminalAgent() (identity-based kill refactor). 28 pass. - touchfiles.ts: drop the three sidebar E2E entries from BOTH maps (E2E_TOUCHFILES + E2E_TIERS) — they pointed diff-selection at the deleted file, so those tests were unreachable by any diff. - test-free-shards.ts: remove the now-dead sidebar-agent exclusion pattern. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(ci): run the free test suite in CI (it ran nowhere) The full free suite (bun test: browse/test/ + test/ + make-pdf/test/) had no CI job on any Linux/macOS runner — only Windows curated shards, paid evals, and doc-freshness gates existed. That's how two module-load-crashing test files survived 48 versions. Same cached Dockerfile.ci image and container wiring as evals.yml (deps restore, build, Chromium verify). Includes a module-load-error guard: older Bun reported test-file import crashes with exit 0 on macOS/Linux, so the job also fails on any nonzero 'N errors' count in the summary — future crash-class regressions can't hide from the exact job built to catch them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(test): validate touchfile dependency paths exist on disk New guard in touchfiles.test.ts: every non-glob dep path must exist, and every glob's anchor directory must exist. This is the axis the 181-key two-map sync discipline never covered — an entry can point at a long-deleted file and diff-based selection then silently never triggers those tests (the sidebar trio sat rotted for 48 versions). First run immediately caught a fourth rotted entry: 'spec authored quality' referenced test/fixtures/spec/** (directory does not exist) and selected for a judge test that exists nowhere in the repo. Removed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(security): remove deleted /sidebar-chat endpoint from tunnel allowlist TUNNEL_PATHS is the audited tunnel attack surface — its own comment says every addition widens it. '/sidebar-chat' stayed in the set after the endpoint was deleted with the chat-queue path, meaning any future route matching that path would have been silently tunnel-exposed. The set is now exactly the pair ceremony (/connect) and the scoped command endpoint (/command), and the dual-listener closed-set pin enforces that. Also repairs a pre-existing red pin in dual-listener.test.ts: v1.63.0.0 made the tunnel allowlist args-aware (canDispatchOverTunnel gained a second param) without updating the test — red on main since then, invisible because the free suite had no CI job. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(security): delete chain's shadow dispatcher that skipped every security gate meta-commands.ts carried a 'CLI mode' fallback that re-implemented command routing without the server pipeline's gates: no scope check, no domain check, no tab ownership, no rate limit, no hidden-element stripping, no scoped-token enveloping — and it called handleReadCommand without a BrowserManager, which also skipped the JS-origin cookie-exfiltration assertion. It was unreachable in production (server.ts always passes executeCommand) and one boolean away from being live. chain now hard-errors without a server context. handleReadCommand's bm param is required and assertJsOriginAllowed runs unconditionally. The chain tests that exercised the deleted fallback now route through a server-shaped executeCommand adapter (real handlers + trust wrapping + {status,result} envelope), so their behavioral coverage — sequencing, trust markers, pipe format, aliases, error reporting — survives on the production-shaped path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(extension): delete the dead chat-queue client surface The sidebar-command handler in background.js POSTed to a server endpoint that no longer exists (deleted with the chat queue) — ~35 lines of fully-wired dead code including error handling for the permanent 404, plus its allowlist entry. No sender in the extension ever emitted the message type. chatEnabled leaves the /health contract (server hardcoded false, background.js re-derived it, nothing consumed it — the chat input element it guarded is gone from sidepanel.html). BROWSE_SIDEBAR_CHAT env flag had zero readers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(security): delete dead exports the ripped chat path left behind Three-way split by importer class: (a) Zero importers, deleted: the whole attack-attempt logging cluster in security.ts (logAttempt, AttemptRecord, salted hashPayload + device-salt, attempts.jsonl rotation, telemetry spawn plumbing incl. buildTelemetrySpawnCommand/resolveBashBinary — the LIVE attempts.jsonl writer is tunnel-denial-log.ts with its own rotation); the decision-file handshake (writeDecision/readDecision/clearDecision/excerptForReview — written for sidebar-agent's poll loop, which no longer exists); sidebar-utils.ts (whole module — its sanitizeExtensionUrl 'sanitized before embedding in a prompt' for the deleted prompt builder); 8 dead server.ts imports (sanitizeExtensionUrl, generateCanary, injectCanary, writeDecision, rotateRoot, serializeRegistry, restoreRegistry, clearAgentRecord); buildPtyClearCookie + buildSseClearCookie; WEBDRIVER_MASK_SCRIPT (orphaned by the D7 stealth narrowing — applyStealth never used it). (b) Dead-pin tests edited with their exports: the 'still exported' pin in stealth-layer-c, the string-content describe in stealth-webdriver (its live applyStealth behavioral coverage untouched), the clear-cookie assertions, security-review-flow.test.ts deleted whole (all 4 describes exercised the dead decision mechanism, incl. a 'simulated sidebar-agent poll loop'). (c) KEPT deliberately: leaseCount (live behavioral coverage), extractPtyCookie + validatePtySessionToken (extractPtyCookie is adopted by the terminal-agent cookie-parse unification later in this wave), resetSessionMarker + clearContentFilters (test-support API for the live content-security layer). Also fixes two pre-existing red pins found while here, invisible until the free suite got a CI job: the v1.44 spawnClaude->maybeSpawnPty rename in terminal-agent.test.ts, and a cross-file test-isolation bug where content-security.test.ts's clearContentFilters() wiped the auto-registered url-blocklist filter for every later file in the same bun process (security-integration.test.ts failed on co-run; afterAll now restores it). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(security): delete the dead ML layers — transcript classifier and DeBERTa ensemble The L4b Haiku transcript classifier and the opt-in DeBERTa ensemble (GSTACK_SECURITY_ENSEMBLE=deberta, a documented 721MB download) had ZERO production callers since the chat-path agent that invoked them was ripped. The only live ML path is scanPageContent (testsavant) inside the security sidecar subprocess. Deleted by import graph: - security-classifier.ts 614 -> 265 lines: HAIKU_MODEL, checkTranscript, shouldRunTranscriptCheck, loadDeberta, scanPageContentDeberta, ToolCallInput, all DEBERTA_* consts + load state. Header now states the live truth (imported only by security-sidecar-entry.ts). downloadFile kept, name intact — it is an enumerated egress sink (HF model download). - security-bunnative.ts + test: a research skeleton self-described as 'NOT a production replacement', shipped into src/ with zero importers. - security-bench-ensemble{,-live}.test.ts + the Haiku response fixture: a paid live-model benchmark for a layer that could not fire. The security-classifier-tdz test's only case exercised checkTranscript — gone. - security.ts: layer-model header rewritten to the live architecture; StatusDetail.layers -> {testsavant, canary}; getStatus() no longer requires the impossible transcript==='ok' for 'protected' (old on-disk session state with a transcript key is tolerated on read, never re-emitted). - security-sidecar-entry.ts needed zero changes: it serializes getClassifierStatus() verbatim and no consumer read .transcript (verified in sidecar-client + server.ts). - BROWSER.md security section matches reality (ensemble knob gone, 112MB not 22MB, sidecar hosting documented). combineVerdict/THRESHOLDS retained as the pure, tested combiner of record — comments now flag transcript/deberta votes as producer-less. Net: 26 pass in security.test.ts incl. a NEW regression test for stale- transcript disk tolerance; egress-receipt tripwire green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: scrub the sidebar-agent ghost from comments and CLAUDE.md 20+ comments across 10 files still described the deleted sidebar-agent.ts as a live process — including load-bearing architecture claims ('IMPORTED ONLY BY sidebar-agent.ts', 'sidebar-agent fills this in on first prompt-injection load', 'kill sidebar-agent' in shutdown docs) and ~60 lines of tombstone blocks in server.ts enumerating deleted identifiers by name (a false grep surface: searching processAgentEvent hit server.ts and looked live). CLAUDE.md's security-stack section now documents the LIVE architecture: L1-L3 content filters + testsavant via the security sidecar subprocess; the L4b/ensemble rows, the GSTACK_SECURITY_ENSEMBLE knob, and the 721MB DeBERTa download are gone (deleted as dead code this wave) with an explicit do-not-re-document note; attempts.jsonl is correctly attributed to tunnel-denial-log.ts; the no-live-writer status of classifierStatus is stated. Comments that survive now describe what IS, not what WAS: the promotion gate in domain-skills.ts explains why classifier_score>0 is load-bearing given no L4 load-time scan exists; file-permissions.ts names real sensitive files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen): delete the codex-helpers shadow module gen-skill-docs.ts imported externalSkillName (unaliased) from resolvers/codex-helpers.ts at line 21 and then re-declared the same function locally — the import was silently shadowed, and the imported copy was the STALE one (it lacked the frontmatterName param the local copy grew). Three more functions were byte-identical duplicates, imported only under _-prefixed aliases to keep the module 'referenced', and transformFrontmatter was a superseded hardcoded-Codex variant. Nothing else imported the module. Also drops three dead top-of-file imports (COMMAND_DESCRIPTIONS, SNAPSHOT_FLAGS — which pulled the whole browse/src module graph into every generator run for nothing — and an unused review-resolver trio). Proof: bun run gen:skill-docs exits 0 with a byte-identical tree (zero-diff regen); gen-skill-docs.test.ts 405/405 green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(server): delete ServerConfig.idleTimeoutMs + chromiumProfile — documented, never read Both fields carried JSDoc asserting embedder behavior that did not exist: the idle check reads the module-level IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS env constant, and both resolveChromiumProfile() call sites pass no argument. Worse than absent — an embedder passing idleTimeoutMs: 5000 silently got 30 minutes. Wiring them honestly is impossible today: the idle timer, activity state, and shutdown target are module-global, so a per-factory value would lie for any process running more than one handler. Deleted instead, with a ServerConfig note pointing at the deferred singleton/route-table refactor where real support belongs. BROWSE_IDLE_TIMEOUT and CHROMIUM_PROFILE env remain the honest knobs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(security): wire appendSecureFile at the four real log-append sites file-permissions.ts carries a 24-line rationale for why POSIX mode bits are insufficient on Windows and implements appendSecureFile (0600 at create, Windows ACL on first write only) — but its single caller was the dead logAttempt, while the four REAL page-content log writers (console/network/ dialog logs in server.ts, the command audit log) used raw fs.appendFileSync with no mode. Page-content-derived logs now get owner-only permissions from birth on every platform. Verified before wiring: mode applies atomically at create via appendFileSync {mode}, and the ACL pass runs only on first write — no per-append subprocess cost on the hot console-log path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(stealth): handoff() uses the shared profile resolution + lock cleanup The headless-to-headed handoff path hardcoded ~/.gstack/chromium-profile, silently ignoring $CHROMIUM_PROFILE and $GSTACK_HOME (gbrowser's gbd sets per-workspace profiles), and skipped cleanSingletonLocks() — so a handoff into a profile with a stale SingletonLock could hang where launchHeaded() would have recovered. This was the third live drift between the three Chromium launch paths; the first two are documented in comments as shipped stealth regressions. Minimal targeted fix — the full buildLaunchConfig() extraction stays in the deferred queue. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen): resolver registry describes the template language again Seven registered {{PLACEHOLDER}}s had zero uses in any .tmpl (checked in both bare and :arg forms): REDACT_TAXONOMY_TABLE, TEST_COVERAGE_AUDIT_REVIEW, MODEL_OVERLAY, QUESTION_PREFERENCE_CHECK, QUESTION_LOG, INLINE_TUNE_FEEDBACK, MAKE_PDF_SETUP. The last two of those families are invoked programmatically by preamble.ts (functions kept, registry entries dropped); the question-tuning trio and the review coverage-audit wrapper were documented by their own module as existing 'for unit testing' that no test performed — deleted, along with generateRedactTaxonomyTable + its EXAMPLE/TIER_BLURB constants (its '/cso renders the full table' comment was itself stale) and its test describe. Also deletes the gated-resolver mechanism (ResolverEntry/appliesTo/ unwrapResolver + test/resolver-entry.test.ts): fully built, fully tested, used by zero of the 65 registry entries — the generator loop simplifies to a direct function call. CLAUDE.md's redact-doc line stops advertising the dead token. Proof: zero-diff regen (0 SKILL.md changed); gen-skill-docs + skill-validation 737 tests green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen): wire boundaryInstruction from host config; drop three no-op binDir ternaries hosts/codex.ts declared boundaryInstruction and nothing read it — review.ts kept its own byte-identical CODEX_BOUNDARY literal (verified equal + trailing escaped newlines). The resolver now reads the config, so the boundary has one owner. (autoplan's template carries deliberately generic variants, enforced by gen-skill-docs.test.ts:1358 — untouched by design.) The 'ctx.host === codex ? $GSTACK_BIN : ctx.paths.binDir' ternary appeared in three resolvers and could never change the result: resolvers/types.ts already sets binDir to $GSTACK_BIN for every usesEnvVars host including codex. Proof: zero-diff regen for claude AND codex hosts; gen-skill-docs + host-config suites green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test-infra): judge uses resolveClaudeBinary; eval:watch reads the real partials dir judgePtyState spawned the bare string 'claude' three definitions below the resolveClaudeBinary() helper this same file exports — broken under hermetic PATHs where every other launch in the file resolves correctly. eval:watch read _partial-e2e.json from the legacy global ~/.gstack-dev/evals/ while EvalCollector writes it into the per-project eval dir (or GSTACK_EVAL_DIR) — so the dashboard's completed-tests panel was empty whenever slug detection succeeded, i.e. the normal case. The heartbeat and per-run progress logs stay global by design (session-runner.ts: 'heartbeat stays global'). The three eval-CLI docstrings stop claiming the legacy dir is the primary location. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): delete the superseded SDK ship-idempotency suite and three orphaned fixtures test/skill-e2e-ship-idempotency.test.ts's own header documented that the monolith's SDK-harness version tests a synthetic prompt while it exercises the real /ship skill — the author knew the old suite was superseded and left both running, two paid LLM runs for one behavior. The weaker copy is gone; its 'ship-idempotency' diff-selection key goes with it (the dedicated file is periodic-tier, which always runs under EVALS_ALL — the key had no remaining consumer). Fixture rot: test/fixtures/golden-ship-claude.md was a 128KB zero-reader orphan that had drifted 46KB from its live successor (test/fixtures/golden/claude-ship-SKILL.md) while looking authoritative; parity-baseline-v1.46.0.0.json and v1.53.0.0.json had zero readers (three tests pin three OTHER baseline versions — consolidation is queued, deletion of the unreferenced two is free). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(bin): delete zero-caller scripts; make host-config-export's docstring honest - bin/gstack-open-url (14 lines): announced in a CHANGELOG entry, wired into nothing, ever. bin/gstack-platform-detect (27 lines): zero callers, and its hand-rolled host list was already stale (SLATE_HOST.md cites it as a problem). Note: the deprecated gstack-brain-consumer/reader pair the audit flagged was already deleted upstream in v1.63 with a stay-deleted tripwire. - scripts/task-emission-schema.ts (61 lines): a typed schema module nothing imported; the tasks-section comment now documents the JSONL fields inline. - scripts/host-config-export.ts claimed to be the 'shell bridge for the bash setup script' — setup never calls it (its hand-rolled host lists drifting is a known follow-up). Docstring now states what it IS: a standalone, test-pinned query CLI not yet wired into setup. Its validateValue + CLI_REGEX/PATH_REGEX internals were dead (defined for a guarantee the header claimed but nothing enforced). - KEPT deliberately: scripts/preflight-agent-sdk.ts — a documented manual diagnostic (CONTRIBUTING.md + USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK.md reference it). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(server): one lone-surrogate sanitizer, one sanitizeReplacer, one startTunnel Three copies of the surrogate sanitizer existed with two algorithms (sanitize.ts regex vs a hand-rolled charCodeAt walk in server.ts — verified byte-identical across 11 edge cases before converging) plus two identical sanitizeReplacer definitions each wrapping a different copy. sanitize.ts is now the single source of truth; the runs-INSIDE-JSON.stringify egress invariant is unchanged at every call site and its pin tests were adapted to the new import shape without losing intent. The ngrok tunnel-start sequence existed three times in server.ts — the /tunnel/start route and the BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 autostart were line-for-line equivalent (a comment admitted 'Same cleanup as /tunnel/start's error path'). One startTunnel() now owns the ephemeral loopback bind, the pre-send egress receipt, the state-file RMW via tmpStatePath(), and the ordered error-path cleanup; callers keep their distinct response surfaces. The BROWSE_TUNNEL_LOCAL_ONLY test path shares nothing (no ngrok, different state field) and deliberately stays separate. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(security): one session-cookie registry implementation, two instances pty-session-cookie.ts and sse-session-cookie.ts were byte-identical modulo the cookie name — mint/validate/parse/prune/TTL, the exact code a security fix would have to land in twice (and a third hand-rolled cookie parse in terminal-agent.ts had already diverged; unified next commit). createSessionCookieStore() owns the implementation; both modules become thin instantiations keeping every exported name, their distinct threat-model docstrings, and separate token spaces (an SSE-read cookie must never grant PTY access). pty-session-lease.ts deliberately stays out — different contract (sessionId/secret split, refresh, env TTL). The factory imports nothing from token-registry (cookie-picker-auth-isolation invariant, still pinned by sse-session-cookie.test.ts). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(security): terminal-agent uses the shared PTY cookie parser The /ws upgrade's cookie fallback hand-parsed the Cookie header inline — the fourth copy of the session-cookie parse, and the one that had already diverged from the others. Parsing now goes through extractPtyCookie; validation deliberately stays against the agent's own in-process validTokens map (the server's registry lives in a different process). The ws-handler pin test now pins the shared-parser call instead of the raw cookie-name literal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(hosts): defineHost() factory — 10 copy-paste host files become declarations hosts/*.ts were ten copies of one file: runtimeRoot byte-identical in 9/10, pathRewrites mechanically derivable from the host name for 7/10, the 11-entry toolRewrites map byte-identical between openclaw and gbrain, and every asset change a 10-file edit (cursor and slate had already fallen out of three other hand-maintained lists). defineHost() owns the defaults; each host file now declares only what makes it different (slate/cursor: 8 lines each). Shared constants: CROSS_MODEL_RESOLVERS, GBRAIN_RESOLVERS, EXEC_STYLE_TOOL_REWRITES. Genuinely-different things stayed explicit: codex/factory $GSTACK_ROOT rewrites, hermes's tool vocabulary, claude's denylist+prefixable install, opencode's wider runtimeRoot. Proof: JSON.stringify(ALL_HOST_CONFIGS) dump-diff before/after EMPTY (and a runtime walk confirmed no function-valued or undefined-keyed fields, so the JSON diff is complete); gen:skill-docs --host all zero-diff; host-config + gen-skill-docs + idempotency suites 485/485. Host files 595 -> 285 lines. docs/ADDING_A_HOST.md teaches the factory pattern. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(lib): fs-atomic — one atomic-write implementation, with the race actually fixed Atomic tmp-write-then-rename was reimplemented ~20 times across lib/, bin/, and browse/src with three tmp-suffix conventions. One of them was a latent bug this commit closes: lib/worktree.ts used a bare '.tmp' suffix — the deterministic-tmp collision race browse/src/server.ts documents having hit in production (its fix, pid+random, was trapped in a comment at one site). lib/fs-atomic.ts: atomicWriteSync (always throws, best-effort tmp cleanup, pid+random suffix, optional mode applied at tmp creation so the file never exists with looser permissions) + atomicWriteQuiet (shutdown paths only). Unit tests pin the throw/quiet contracts, 0600 mode, tmp-name uniqueness (captured via the read-only-dir failure path — Bun's fs exports are readonly, no monkeypatching), and no-stray-tmp cleanup. Migrated: lib/worktree.ts (the bare-.tmp bug), lib/gstack-decision.ts (snapshot + compact log), lib/gbrain-local-status.ts (probe cache). browse sites follow separately. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(lib): jsonl-store's docstring stops lying; mode option added; lib bypasses adopted The header claimed 'single source of truth... the ONLY copy' with write-time injection REJECTION — while appendJsonl never screened anything, only 1 of ~10 JSONL stores imported it, and a bypass appender lived in the same directory. Now: the contract is explicit (screening is the CALLER's job via hasInjection/firstInjectionMatch; the enforcing callers are named), a option applies 0600 at create for sensitive stores, and the lib bypasses are adopted (gstack-memory-helpers ×2, redact-audit-log — which keeps its chmod backstop for files created looser by pre-mode versions). browse/src keeps its own appenders by design (compiled-binary surface, own secure-append helper) and the header now says so. gstack-decision's batched archive append stays deliberate (single-write crash-window semantics appendJsonl's one-record contract can't express). New pins: 0600-at-create, and a test that documents appendJsonl does NOT self-screen — so nobody can re-document it as self-screening without making it true. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): migrate hand-rolled atomic writes to lib/fs-atomic Seven sites, each audited for its existing throw-vs-swallow contract before migrating: writeSessionState + the four fire-and-forget tab/state writers use atomicWriteQuiet (they swallowed before); writeAgentRecord + the boot-time port-file write use atomicWriteSync (they threw before — and writeAgentRecord previously leaked its tmp file on rename failure, which the helper cleans). All carry {mode: 0o600} plus restrictFilePermissions after successful writes, preserving the Windows ACL hardening that writeSecureFile provided (mode bits are POSIX-only). server.ts untouched: its three state writes route through tmpStatePath(), pinned by server-tmp-state-path.test.ts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hosts): delete five dead HostConfig fields metadataFormat (generator hardcodes openai.yaml), sidecar (behavior lives in setup's create_agents_sidecar — knowledge preserved as a comment in codex.ts), install.prefixable (skill_prefix is implemented entirely in bin/gstack-config), staticFiles (docstring cited a SOUL.md that never existed anywhere), and adapter (its only would-be consumer, openclaw-adapter.ts, was fully dead — with a test asserting the field was undefined). Kept: learningsMode (wired next), linkingStrategy (validation reads it), coAuthorTrailer (consumed by resolvers/utility.ts). Proof: JSON dump diff shows ONLY the deleted keys vanishing; zero-diff regen across all 10 hosts; host-config + gen-skill-docs suites green. Note: this commit also carries chunk-23 edits to the shared hosts/claude.ts + define-host.ts + host-config.test.ts files (skipSkills collapse, stale line-number comment drops) — pathspec commits, concurrent prep. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen): preamble tiers are explicit; silent ?? 4 default becomes an error; spec stops rendering its preamble twice Eight skills (scrape, diagram, spec, skillify, pair-agent, landing-report, open-gstack-browser + its connect-chrome symlink) silently received the HEAVIEST tier-4 preamble because a missing frontmatter field defaulted to 4. Tiers are now declared in every {{PREAMBLE}} template's frontmatter and a missing declaration throws at generation time with the template path (the 5 templates without {{PREAMBLE}} never invoke the resolver). The stale hand-written tier-map comment (wrong in 3 of 4 rows) is gone. Bonus bug fixed: spec/SKILL.md.tmpl mentioned {{PREAMBLE}} in prose, so the generator inlined the ENTIRE preamble a second time — spec/SKILL.md shrinks 127,462 -> 80,924 bytes (-46,538) from de-duplication alone. skill-size-budget gains a reasoned INTENTIONAL_SHRINKS entry (its frozen baseline had measured the doubled-preamble bug). New tests: missing-tier throw carries the path; every {{PREAMBLE}} template declares a tier. (Carries chunk-23 edits in the shared test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts.) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen): learningsMode is read from host config, not a hardcoded host name resolvers/learnings.ts branched on ctx.host === 'codex' while every host declared learningsMode — the field was decorative, and the 7 hosts configured 'basic' (cursor, slate, kiro, opencode, openclaw, hermes, gbrain) silently received the 'full' cross-project flow their runtimes can't execute (it depends on AskUserQuestion + gstack-config plumbing). Output now matches declaration: basic hosts get the project-scoped search block. Blast radius proof: all committed Claude SKILL.md files and the three golden fixtures are byte-identical; the behavior diff lands only in the gitignored external-host trees (hand-verified: .cursor review's learnings section swaps the cross-project AskUserQuestion block for the project-scoped search). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen): small config scrubs — openclaw blobs to real files, setup host drift, dead artifacts - The three openclaw markdown blobs hardcoded inside gen-skill-docs.ts (which silently reverted any hand edit to their tracked outputs on regen) move to openclaw/templates/*.md source files; output shasums byte-identical. - setup's --host allowlists gain cursor + slate — both fully registered hosts with generated output, but './setup --host cursor' exited 1 because two hand-rolled lists in setup had drifted from hosts/index.ts. - scripts/proactive-suggestions.json deleted: 31KB regenerated on every run, read by nobody (the catalog-trim design's reader was never built); its emitter and three determinism tests (which guaranteed a file nothing reads didn't churn) retired with stays-retired pins. - claude/SKILL.md.tmpl deleted: a complete 8.9KB skill that never generated output (directory name collides with the host id 'claude'), in no registry. Recoverable from git if ever wanted under a non-colliding name. - openclaw's frozen extraFields.version '0.15.2.0' stamp dropped; includeSkills: [] no-ops omitted (the generator treats [] as absent); llms.txt 55 -> 54 skills. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gen): correct preamble tiers for the 8 silently-heaviest skills With tiers now explicit, set them RIGHT by analogy to the tiered population: scrape/diagram/open-gstack-browser (+ the connect-chrome symlink) -> tier 1 (launchers and artifact generators, like browse and make-pdf); landing-report/pair-agent/skillify -> tier 2 (dashboards and session tools, like health and canary); spec -> tier 3 (interactive planning, like the plan-*-review family). Each tier-1 skill sheds 271 lines of onboarding prose it never needed; tier-2 shed 20 each. Verification per the review protocol: regen diff reviewed (pure section-removal), skill-validation + size-budget + catalog-budget + v0-dormancy suites green (822 tests), and live smoke of the tier-corrected skills confirms the preamble renders the intended sections at each tier. These skills have ~no eval coverage — stated honestly; the wave's gate-tier eval run is the backstop. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(test): e2e-gate — one tier-gate implementation, side-effect-free, with the trap pinned The EVALS/EVALS_TIER gate was copy-pasted into ~40 test files and had drifted into six different predicates — the drift that made 'eval:bg:all runs everything' silently false. test/helpers/e2e-gate.ts owns the semantics now: describeE2ETier(tier) + e2eTierEnabled(tier), env read at call time, zero side effects (the existing e2e-helpers module runs a ~30s claude ping at import under EVALS=1, so the gate lives in its own module; purity is pinned by tests that scan imports and comment-stripped source). The unit matrix pins all four env combos — including EVALS=1 with EVALS_TIER unset -> SKIP, the exact trap that made eval:bg:all a non-run. The tier-alignment tripwire gains a second regex for the helper shape (old shape still detected — stragglers can't hide), and the sharded paid runner's PRE-SPAWN tier classifier learns the helper shape too: without that, every gate-sharded run would have spawned all 28 periodic shards just to skip them, each paying the e2e-helpers import ping (~15 min of dead wall clock in the CI-blocking lane). Verified: gate runs exclude the 29 periodic files, periodic excludes the 8 gate files — identical to pre-migration. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(test): migrate the 36 tier-gated eval files to describeE2ETier Mechanical two-liner swap in 34 files (each keeping its declared tier — all 36 predicates verified against E2E_TIERS before migrating); the two files with compound gates (overlay-harness's EvalCollector feed, codex-e2e's CODEX_AVAILABLE) keep their extra conditions via e2eTierEnabled. Tier rationale comments preserved. codex-e2e/gemini-e2e/benchmark-providers keep their distinct stderr-message gate shapes by design. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(test): skill-e2e + skill-llm-eval adopt the shared selection machinery Both files re-implemented the diff-selection machinery e2e-helpers already exported. The helper gained computeDiffSelection() (extracted, identical behavior) and a trailing optional selection param on the *IfSelected helpers (defaults preserve all 30+ existing importers). skill-e2e.test.ts drops ~120 duplicated lines; skill-llm-eval keeps its LLM_JUDGE_TOUCHFILES selection and test.concurrent semantics via testConcurrentIfSelected. Deliberate deltas, stated: skill-e2e.test.ts now honors the EVALS_TIER intersection its local copy lacked (affects only direct bun test invocations of that file — it matches no eval-script glob); its recordE2E gains the helper's three diagnostic fields; skill-llm-eval sharded solo now runs e2e-helpers' module-scope preflight it already ran in combined processes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): kill the silent-truncation race; exempt the tier-corrected shrinks The full-suite shakeout (budgeted by the plan) surfaced both immediately: 1. server-embedder-terminal-port.test.ts stubbed process.exit and restored the REAL exit in its finally — but shutdown() schedules async work that can call process.exit AFTER restoration, killing the entire bun process mid-suite with exit 0 and NO summary. This is the silent-truncation class the new free-suite CI job guards against, reproduced locally on the first full run. Exit now stays a logging no-op between tests (late async exits become visible stderr lines, not process death); the true exit returns in afterAll. 2. The 80%-of-baseline shrink guard correctly flagged the six tier-corrected skills — their baseline was measured at the silent tier-4 default. Added to INTENTIONAL_SHRINKS with the reason, joining spec's double-preamble entry. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * release: v1.64.0.0 — the code-smell fix wave 35 commits, one PR: guard repairs (free suite in CI per-file, all-host freshness gates, tunnel allowlist, diff-selection validation), the sidebar-agent ghost exorcism (dead ML layers, dead endpoints, dead exports, ghost comments), config honesty (defineHost factory, dead fields deleted, preamble tiers explicit, spec double-render fixed), and dedup with safety nets (session-cookie factory, fs-atomic, jsonl-store contract, one eval tier-gate). Net -24,943 lines across 183 files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ci): free-tests step runs under bash (container sh rejects pipefail) Maiden-voyage shakeout, exactly as budgeted: the CI container's default shell is dash, which errors on 'set -o pipefail' before the first test ran. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ci): free-tests curates 8 container-incompatible files with reasons Second maiden-voyage shakeout round: 376 of 384 files ran green in the container on the first completed pass. The 8 that can't run there yet are excluded the same way the Windows shards curate POSIX-bound files — each with its reason inline (headed-Chrome handoff, real-PTY round-trip, X server management, extension-origin identity, the job's own TMPDIR override, and three pre-existing env failures that fail on dev machines too). Anything outside the list that fails still fails the job; trimming the list is tracked follow-up. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): gstack-config-key-locale — suppress the skill_prefix auto-relink side effect The test invokes the repo's own bin/gstack-config, whose 'set skill_prefix' auto-runs $(dirname $0)/gstack-relink — resolving the install dir to the repo itself. In any environment where the loop shares a working tree (the free-tests CI container, a fresh-HOME run), gstack-patch-names rewrote all 52 tracked SKILL.md names to gstack- prefixed, poisoning five unrelated suites downstream (hermetic-skills-seeding, host-config golden, skill-census, skill-validation, spec-template-sync). GSTACK_SETUP_RUNNING=1 is the documented suppression; relink behavior stays covered by relink.test.ts's mock install. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(bin): gstack-codex-session-import — empty sessions dir exits 0 on Linux GNU xargs runs 'ls -t' once even on empty input, listing the cwd and producing a bogus LATEST from the repo root; BSD xargs (macOS) skips the run, which is why the NO_SESSIONS path only broke on Linux. xargs -r pins the BSD behavior on both platforms. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(parity): rebaseline v1.57.7.0 → v1.64.1.0 + skeleton-cap headroom The two parallel v1.64 waves (code-smell fix wave + main's #2571) each added shared-preamble prose, pushing document-release / design-consultation / cso past their size ratios on the v1.57.7.0 anchor and four carved skeletons (plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review, office-hours, design-consultation) 22-280 B over their absolute caps. New baseline is union-normalized (skeleton + sections/*.md, matching what the harness measures); caps get +~1 KB headroom each with per-cap rationale. The v1.57.7.0 fixture stays in test/fixtures/ for the audit trail, and capture-parity-baseline.ts now documents the union-normalization step so the next rebaseline doesn't re-trip on it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ci): free-tests container parity — tools, pinned bun, git identity, mutation tripwire - Dockerfile.ci: add python3 (gstack-jsonl-merge/brain-sync/detach shell out to it), file (skill-validation's binary check), poppler-utils (make-pdf e2e gates hard-require pdftotext/pdffonts/pdfinfo), fonts-noto-color-emoji (emoji render gate, mirrors make-pdf-gate.yml). Fix the bun pin: the bun.sh installer ignores a BUN_VERSION env var, so the old form silently installed latest on every rebuild (observed 1.3.13/1.3.14 drift vs the 1.3.10 devs run locally); pass the version as the positional arg. - free-tests.yml: git identity + safe.directory for the git-exercising tests (container checkout is owned by a different uid than runner); post-loop tree-mutation tripwire that names a tracked-file-mutating test instead of letting downstream collateral confuse the report; skip the documented variants-retry-after timing flake. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(bin): gstack-session-update — detached updater owns its stdio (SIGPIPE) The backgrounded update subshell inherited the session hook's stdout/stderr pipes. Once the hook exits and the caller closes them, any child that writes — git pull's autostash notice, setup output — dies of SIGPIPE, logged as PULL_FAILED exit=141 with an empty stderr capture (observed in the free-tests container, and reachable by any production hook runner that closes stdio promptly). Redirect the fork to /dev/null; all observability already flows through the session-update log file. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): gstack-decision-bins — explicit branch context for the scope filter CI checks out a detached HEAD, where gitBranch() returns undefined on both the log and search sides, so an implicitly branch-scoped decision can never surface (filterByScope requires a matching non-empty ctx.branch). Pass the branch explicitly on both sides — the filter logic is what's under test, not git branch detection. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): ring-buffer lease interplay — same TTL window, not same millisecond Two back-to-back mintLease() calls each stamp Date.now() + TTL; when they straddle a millisecond boundary the exact-equality assertion flakes (observed in CI: expiries of ...525 vs ...526). Assert the expiries are within a 50 ms window instead — the invariant under test is that leases share a TTL policy, not that they mint in the same clock tick.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5	008dd65b1f	v1.64.0.0 fix wave: full tracker audit — 90 fixes, 52 issues closed, ~50 community PRs absorbed (#2571) ... * fix(hooks): nest freeze/careful permissionDecision under hookSpecificOutput Claude Code ignores a top-level permissionDecision, so the /freeze deny and /careful ask guards silently allowed everything. Nest both under hookSpecificOutput with permissionDecisionReason, update the shape-blind tests to pin the nested form, and document the constraint in both skill templates (regen included). Closes half of #1459 (freeze enforcement chain). Contributed by @jawadakram20 (PR #2331; team-init hunk deferred to the dedicated team-init fix). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(team-init): required-mode hook blocks with nested schema + exit 2 The generated check-gstack.sh emitted a flat permissionDecision payload and exited 0, which Claude Code ignores — required mode enforced nothing. The generated hook now nests the deny under hookSpecificOutput and exits 2 so the block holds even if the JSON schema drifts again. Adds a temp-repo regression test that runs the generated hook under both installed and missing-gstack homes. Fixes #2413, #2296. Contributed by @Masashi-Ono0611 (PR #2423). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(careful): close three check-careful bypasses via real JSON extraction The grep-based command extractor stopped at the first escaped quote, so any quoted argument truncated the command before the pattern checks ran — `git commit -m "wip" && rm -rf /` was silently allowed. Replace it with a python3/node JSON parse that fails CLOSED on unreadable payloads, add an IFS/base64-to-shell obfuscation tripwire, and stop multi-line commands from riding the single-line safe-exception whitelist (line-based grep would have approved `rm -rf /` when a later line matched node_modules — a hazard the real newline decoding exposed). Contributed by @wtamminga (PR #2426; the -R hunk was dropped — it landed in v1.61.0.0 — and output shapes updated to the nested hookSpecificOutput form). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(review,autoplan): require explicit run_in_background: false on specialist agents Claude Code v2.1.198 made subagents run in the background by default, which inverted the old "do not use the flag" guidance: review-army specialists and autoplan dual voices silently launched in the background and the merge step could proceed before they completed — regressing the #497 fix. The generated guidance now instructs an explicit run_in_background: false, and a static tripwire fails the free suite if the inert inverted phrasing ever returns to any generated SKILL.md. Fixes #2440. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(investigate): anchor the scope-lock freeze hook on $HOME, not CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR The investigate skill's PreToolUse hooks and Scope Lock probe resolved check-freeze.sh via ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}, which does not exist when frontmatter hooks run — the || exit 0 tail then failed open, so the debug scope boundary silently never engaged (#1871 follow-up). Anchor all four sites on $HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/ like careful/freeze, and add a static test asserting no frontmatter command: line in the guard-family skills ever references CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR again. Fixes #2469; closes the last live half of #1459 together with the freeze/careful hookSpecificOutput fix. The broader portable-install-root rewrite stays #1882 (its own focused PR per the TODOS.md decision). Reported with a fix by @maxpetrusenkoagent (PR #1873; absorbed narrowly — the cwd-walk rewrite belongs to #1882). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(redact): scan large diffs in line-aligned slices; stop digit-UUIDs matching as cards/phones The prepush guard blocked any push whose added lines exceeded the engine's 1 MiB cap with engine.input_too_large — a size error naming no credential — which trains people onto GSTACK_REDACT_PREPUSH=skip. Scan in 768 KiB line-aligned slices instead (no pattern is multi-line, so a boundary cannot bisect a secret); a single oversized line still goes to the engine intact and fails closed. Also suppress card/phone matches whose span sits ENTIRELY inside a UUID — digit-only UUID fixtures were 14 of 21 MEDIUM findings on an ordinary branch, the noise level that stops people reading MEDIUM at all. Fixes #2304. Contributed by @luckywenapere (PR #2543). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(redact): block Google OAuth client secrets and Telegram bot tokens at HIGH GOCSPX-prefixed client secrets and <bot_id>:<35-char> Telegram tokens are never-publishable credential shapes with unambiguous formats — both now block at HIGH like the other live-format credentials. Contributed by @francis-eye (PR #2357). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(redact-prepush): resolve the real push base instead of EMPTY_TREE whole-repo scans When the remote default branch is not main/master (or origin/HEAD is unset), the merge-base guess failed and the hook fell back to scanning the ENTIRE repository as added lines — re-attributing long-pushed secrets to the current push and, on any real repo, tripping the engine byte cap so the push blocked having scanned nothing. Derive the base from commits reachable from no remote-tracking branch, keep the empty-tree path only for genuinely fresh repos, and split the block message so an unscannable diff is reported as "could not scan (fail closed)" rather than "credential found — rotate it". Contributed by @stormeoio (PR #2398). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(redact-prepush): preserve the trailing newline handed to chained pre-push.local The chaining wrapper captured stdin with $(cat), which strips the trailing newline — a chained shell hook built on `while read` then never entered its loop for the final (usually only) ref line and exited 0, failing OPEN. Use the printf-x sentinel so the byte-exact input reaches the chained hook, with tests covering both the pass-through and the short-circuit paths. Contributed by @francis-eye (PR #2358). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(redact-prepush): close the ext-diff, header-lookalike, and ref-parse bypasses Three ways the pushed diff escaped scanning: (1) a user-level diff.external or textconv driver replaced the diff with its own output — zero '+' lines, so the scan saw nothing (now --no-ext-diff --no-textconv); (2) an added content line whose text begins with "++" renders as "+++…" and the blanket header skip dropped it (now hunk-aware header detection); (3) a pre-push ref line that failed to parse was silently skipped, leaving that ref unscanned (now fails closed with the offending line named). Minimal reimplementation of the two confirmed bypasses from PR #2498 by @lubosxyz (the full PR overlaps the chunked-scan work absorbed separately), plus the unparseable-ref hardening. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(pair-agent): keep the ngrok authtoken out of the transcript and shell argv The not-authed flow told the user to paste their ngrok authtoken into the chat so the agent could run `ngrok config add-authtoken` — putting a live credential in the transcript, tool-call argv, and anything the transcript syncs to. The user now runs the auth command in their own terminal; the agent only verifies via `ngrok config check`, and a pasted token triggers a rotate-and-reauth instruction. A static test pins that no agent-run bash fence ever contains add-authtoken again. Fixes #2335. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(update-check): crash emits CHECK_FAILED instead of reading as up-to-date gstack-update-check signals "up to date" with SILENCE, and it runs under set -e — so any unguarded mid-script failure exited quietly and was indistinguishable from a current install. Observed live as a 45-release silent-staleness incident. An ERR trap (with -E so it propagates into functions) now emits a CHECK_FAILED sentinel naming the line and status, and exits 0 so caller `|| true` guards can't eat it. Behavioral tests cover both the crash and the healthy-silent paths; egress-receipt wiring is untouched and still pinned by test/egress-receipt-wiring.test.ts. Fixes #1974. (#2378's HEAD-SHA staleness half was already fixed on main by the ls-remote + SHA-pinned VERSION resolution — close as already-fixed.) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(deps): bump diff 7.0.0 → 9.0.0 (GHSA-73rr-hh4g-fpgx parsePatch DoS) The advisory affects diff 6.x–8.0.2. The only API this repo uses is Diff.diffLines (browse/src/snapshot.ts:571, browse/src/meta-commands.ts:728), which is unchanged across the major hop; snapshot tests pass against 9.0.0. Closes #1588. Contributed by @genisis0x (PR #1599; VERSION collateral stripped, lockfile regenerated fresh). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * ci(evals): skip eval jobs deterministically on fork PRs Fork PRs never receive repository secrets, so every API-calling eval failed at SDK auth — but only when Docker-cache luck let the jobs start at all, making fork PRs randomly red or grey. Skip the eval and report jobs explicitly for fork-origin PRs, keep the image BUILD (validates Dockerfile.ci changes) without the push a fork token can't perform, and leave full coverage for same-repo PRs, pushes, and dispatches. Contributed by @andrey-esipov (PR #2345). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(extension): deny token/port reads to content-script and foreign senders background.js answered getPort — port, connected state, AND the browse server auth token — to any sender that passed the type allowlist, including content scripts running in web-page context and, behind only the sender.id check, anything without extension-page provenance. The getToken sender.tab restriction covered getToken alone, and only after getPort had already handed out the token. Single decision point now: extension/sender-auth.js classifies each message type; the eight privileged types (getPort, setPort, getServerUrl, getToken, fetchRefs, command, sidebar-command, getTabState) require an own-extension-page sender (chrome-extension://<own id>/ URL, no sender.tab, own sender.id). Denied senders get { error: 'unauthorized' } and nothing else — never the token, never the port. Content-script flows (elementPicked, pickerCancelled, inspectResult, openSidePanel) are untouched, and the sidepanel/popup keep the getPort token field their connect path reads. The policy mirrors the v1.63 server-side model: AUTH_TOKEN is released only to the pinned extension Origin via POST /extension-token, so the extension must not re-leak it to contexts the server would never have trusted. browse/test/extension-sender-auth.test.ts drives the real background.js onMessage listener under a chrome stub with four sender shapes (own extension page, own content script, foreign extension id, missing sender.url) and pins that denied responses carry no token/port fields, that a denied setPort never persists, that a denied command never reaches the network, and that the inspector + tab-state flows keep working. The helper is loaded via importScripts in the classic service worker and require()-able from bun tests. Contributed by @punksterlabs (PR #1822; reimplemented against the v1.63 POST /extension-token pinned-origin model). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(update-check): fixture links gstack-egress-lib.sh — all 38 tests failed on main v1.63.0.0 made bin/gstack-update-check source bin/gstack-egress-lib.sh unconditionally, but the test fixture's GSTACK_DIR only linked gstack-config — every test died at the source line (0/38 pass on pristine main, verified). The suite-truncation bug hid it: the runner was killed by an earlier file's delayed process.exit before this file ran. Link the lib like the real install layout the script assumes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): capture active-tab state before close() — last-tab auto-create raced the close event closeTab checked `tabId === this.activeTabId` AFTER awaiting page.close(), but the page 'close' event handler can fire during that await and reassign activeTabId — losing the race meant the last-tab auto-create never ran, leaving the manager with zero tabs. Capture wasActive before closing, and only reassign activeTabId when it no longer points at a live tab. Part of the test-integrity repairs unmasked by the suite-truncation fix. Contributed by @time-attack (PR #2230, browser-manager hunk). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(browse): delete the orphaned sidebar chat-queue suite; align sidebar-ux/tabs with the PTY-only sidebar browse/test/sidebar-integration.test.ts tested the /sidebar-command queue path ripped in v1.14 (34 references to removed endpoints — 11 permanent failures masked by suite truncation). sidebar-ux.test.ts carried 73 failures pinning the same dead surface (pickSidebarModel, ANALYSIS_WORDS); the trim keeps its 108 live tests, including the background.js token/allowlist gates. sidebar-tabs gets the two matching expectation updates. Closes #2420, #1980. Contributed by @time-attack (PR #2230, sidebar hunks; the security-sidepanel-dom deletion was NOT taken — that suite pins the live sidepanel DOM surface and passes). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(browse): align dual-listener and terminal-agent static guards with the current source Two static-grep guards pinned superseded source shapes and failed once the suite actually ran them: the tunnel dispatch gate is args-aware since the --out disk-write ban (canDispatchOverTunnel takes command AND args), and lazy PTY spawn routes through the maybeSpawnPty helper since v1.44. The updated assertions pin the current, stricter shapes (open() never spawns; the helper is the only spawnClaude caller). Contributed by @time-attack (PR #2230, dual-listener + terminal-agent hunks). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): remove all 8 delayed process.exit teardown bombs — the tier-1 gate can finally fail bun test runs every file in ONE process, so a 500ms setTimeout(process.exit(0)) armed in afterAll fired mid-way through a LATER file and killed the entire suite with exit 0 and no summary — only ~16 of 434 files ran, and every downstream failure was invisible (observed live throughout this wave's enumeration). Changes, all guarded by fault injection: - Replace every delayed-exit teardown with a time-boxed close of the file's own browser (8 files across browse/ and design/); stub the daemon /shutdown timer instead of letting its unconditional process.exit tear the runner down. - test/no-suicide-exit.test.ts: static tripwire — no *.test.ts may schedule a delayed process.exit again. - test/exit-propagation.test.ts + fixtures: fault injection with REAL bun output proves the truncation shape (exit 0, no summary) and that scripts/test-free-shards.ts now detects it: a shard exiting 0 WITHOUT bun's final summary line is treated as FAILED (exit code alone is not evidence of completion). - handoff: the three headed-mode integration tests are darwin-skipped with a pointer to the known macOS headed-launch breakage (#2242/#2554); they keep running on Linux CI. Un-skip in the browse-daemon wave. - feedback-roundtrip: repair the handler call sites unmasked by the fix — handlers take (command, args, session, bm); passing the manager where a session belongs broke all six tests. - user-slug-fallback: HOME isolation makes endpoint_hash deterministic. Fixes #2421, #2435. Contributed by @sneakygriff (PR #2172) with repairs from @time-attack (PR #2230 feedback-roundtrip hunks); supersedes PR #2252 by @whd4 (same defect, credited). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: include design/test/ in the free suite and the sharded runner design/test was absent from both the package.json test globs and TEST_ROOTS in scripts/test-free-shards.ts — its tests (including one of the teardown bombs removed in the previous commit) never ran in any CI or local free run, so design fixes could ship without their unit tests executing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(make-pdf): reject directories when resolving the browse binary access(X_OK) is true for directories (they carry the execute/traverse bit on POSIX and pass the Windows existence check too), so cwd-dependent resolution could pick the ~/.claude/skills/browse alias DIRECTORY as the browse binary.

Default PDF output (generate with no -o), the preview HTML, tmpFile() scratch files, and setup's smoke-test fixture/output all wrote there, so browse rejected the paths it was asked to read or write.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(make-pdf): stop URLs swallowing smartypants placeholders A bare autolinked URL (<a href="X">X</a>) has zero whitespace between the URL text and its own closing tag. TAG_RE carves that </a> into a NUL-delimited SMARTPANTS_PRESERVED placeholder BEFORE the URL pass runs, and URL_RE's \S+ swallowed the adjacent placeholder into the URL match. The restore pass is single-shot, so the inner placeholder never restored: raw "SMARTPANTS_PRESERVED_N" text leaked into the rendered link, the </a> vanished, and link-blue styling bled into the rest of the document (#2084). Excluding the NUL sentinel (\u0000) from the URL character class stops the match from crossing into an already-carved zone.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(make-pdf): no blank first page when content precedes the first H1 Two paths put invisible content ahead of the first H1 and cost users a blank page 1 (#1904): - A visually-empty preamble (leading <style> block, HTML comment) became its own .chapter. That section took the `.chapter:first-of-type { break-before: auto }` exception, so the first real chapter inherited `break-before: page` and started on page 2. Non-rendering preambles now fold into the first real chapter (markup preserved, no page break); real text preambles keep their own chapter. - Leading YAML frontmatter rendered as a literal paragraph of body text on its own first page (marked has no frontmatter awareness). It is now stripped before parsing; a `---` thematic break elsewhere is untouched. Contributed by @jbetala7 (PR #1913). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): allow about:blank so a restarted daemon can initialise The daemon opens its own first tab on about:blank, so blocking it in validateNavigationUrl meant a restarted daemon could never recreate the blank tab it starts from — and `browse newtab about:blank`, which `make-pdf setup` runs as its Chromium smoke test, failed and surfaced as "Chromium failed to launch" against a healthy browser. Allow about:blank ONLY, never the about: scheme: about:blank has no origin, loads nothing and runs nothing, while about:config and friends are real surfaces. Exact href match (lower-cased, since the URL parser normalises the protocol but not the opaque part), so about:blankfoo stays blocked. Contributed by @jwilk-hrep (PR #2537). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(design): drop gpt-image-2 tool model that 400s under the gpt-4o orchestrator The Responses API rejects pairing a gpt-4o orchestrator with an image_generation tool spec'd as model: "gpt-image-2" (400 invalid_request_error), which took every design image call offline — generate, variants, iterate (both threaded and fresh paths), evolve, and /design-shotgun (#1771). gpt-image-2 is only valid under a gpt-5 orchestrator; with gpt-4o the tool must omit the model field (defaults to gpt-image-1). Remove the model field at all five call sites and add a static-grep tripwire test (design/test/image-gen-pairing.test.ts) that fails CI if any design/src module reintroduces the gpt-4o + gpt-image-2 pairing. Re-enabling gpt-image-2 later requires bumping the orchestrator off gpt-4o in the same diff, which the tripwire permits. Contributed by @Pablosinyores (PR #1773).

Report the actual configured bound, and pin it with a test that forces the abort path (fast-forwarding only the 240_000 ms timer) and asserts the surfaced string matches.

Three layers now: (1) pass --include-gitignored (root cause); (2) if the installed gbrain predates the flag, retry without it (subcommand --help is generic, so the attempt is the only probe) with an upgrade pointer; (3) reconcile gbrain's imported+unchanged accounting against the staged count and REFUSE to advance state on a shortfall, naming the gitignore collision.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(session-update): un-wedge auto-upgrade — autostash over local patches, log the pull's real reason On a normal install the tracked files ARE locally patched (skill-prefix name rewrites, gbrain-refresh blocks), so the bare `git pull --ff-only` refused on every run and auto-upgrade froze forever — observed as 308 consecutive PULL_FAILED entries with the reason discarded by 2>/dev/null. Pull now runs --autostash (local patches ride over the update and pop back), stderr is captured into the log so a genuine failure names its cause, an autostash pop conflict recovers to a clean tree and re-renders the patches (gstack-patch-names + gbrain-refresh, both idempotent), and a successful pull re-renders them as a self-heal. Behavioral tests cover the wedge shape and the reason logging. Fixes #2566. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: raise the free-suite per-test timeout to 30s bun's 5s default is fine for a file run solo, but the monolithic free suite shares one process across 100+ files whose browser instances contend for launch slots — Playwright tests that pass in isolation time out mid-suite. 30s matches the ceiling the enumeration runs used; the sharded runner (test:free) is unaffected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(question-log): parse native AskUserQuestion answers — every native answer logged as __unknown__ Current Claude Code returns AskUserQuestion results as an OBJECT map keyed by question text ({answers: {question: label}}); the hook only handled the legacy array shapes, so 86% of live records carried user_choice __unknown__ — and the bin then scored every one as followed_recommendation false, silently poisoning plan-tune metrics. Adds the object-map extraction (exact + whitespace-normalized + single-question pairing, multiSelect joins, annotations as free_text), strips the (Recommended) suffix from BOTH sides of the comparison, skips the computation entirely on extraction failure, and logs unrecognized shapes to hook-errors.log instead of embedding them in the record. Fixes #2336, #2206. Based on the working patch in #2336 by @yijisoo; suffix comparison fix contributed by @chuchu2781 (PR #2400). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(slug): canonicalize slash branches to dash form — review history stops splitting Branch-name sanitization disagreed across gstack (four incompatible rules), so reviews for the same slash-named branch landed in multiple files and the ship dashboard missed entries. gstack-slug now canonicalizes / to - in one place, and ship's review lookup routes through it; goldens regenerated against the current templates.

The resolver now walks up from pwd: outermost STRONG marker wins (.git, package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, Gemfile, go.mod, .project.yaml), weak content markers (README, LICENSE) catch non-code project folders, deploy artifacts are deliberately not markers, and GSTACK_PROJECT_SLUG remains the escape hatch.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hooks): shared spawn-bin helper — all three AskUserQuestion hooks were inert on Windows The plan-tune hooks resolved bin scripts via new URL(import.meta.url).pathname (which doubles the drive letter on Windows: /C:/C:/...) and spawnSync'd extensionless bash scripts directly (unrunnable without a shell association) — so question logging, preferences, and the error fallback all silently no-op'd on Windows, and /plan-tune collected no data. A single spawn-bin.ts helper now owns bin resolution (fileURLToPath) and win32 bash routing for every hook, with static tripwires so a future hook can't reintroduce the raw pattern. This is the one Windows-spawn idiom for hook code. Fixes #2356. Contributed by @rafassousa (PR #2504; supersedes PR #2399 by @chuchu2781).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(windows): grant icacls ACEs by *SID, not unqualified username An unqualified username handed to icacls is ambiguous: on a machine whose hostname equals the username (a common Windows setup), it resolves to the MACHINE account instead of the user. Combined with /inheritance:r, that leaves ~/.gstack with a single ACE matching nobody — the process that just "secured" the directory locks itself out, and icacls still reports success. Both icacls sites in the repo (restrictFilePermissions and restrictDirectoryPermissions in browse/src/file-permissions.ts — the only icacls call sites; setup has none) now grant via icacls' literal-SID form `*<SID>`, resolved once per process from System32\whoami.exe (pinned to System32 because a bare `whoami` under a bash-flavoured PATH picks up the MSYS build, which rejects /user). Fallback when the SID can't be resolved is the domain-qualified `USERDOMAIN\username` name, which is unambiguous where the bare username was not. Windows-only regression tests assert the hardened directory stays usable by the calling process (readdir + write), which is exactly the check that a not-toThrow assertion sailed past before.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(windows): forward windowsHide through the bun-polyfill spawn shims windowsHide is the one spawn option where Node's default is the opposite of Bun's: Node shows the child's console window, Bun.spawn hides it. The polyfill's spawn and spawnSync shims dropped the option entirely, so the Node fallback path (dist/bun-polyfill.cjs) silently inverted the behavior on the one platform the shim exists to serve — every watchdog respawn of the terminal agent popped a visible bun.exe console window. Three sites fixed: - Bun.spawnSync shim: forwards windowsHide with Bun-matching default true - Bun.spawn shim: same (stdio:'ignore' silences output but does NOT suppress the console window on Windows) - spawnTerminalAgent in terminal-agent-control.ts: explicit windowsHide: true, so the Node fallback path behaves like Bun-native An explicit windowsHide: false is honored at both shims. Three focused tests pin the default-true, default-true-sync, and explicit-false paths by intercepting child_process in a subprocess; the test file's require path now uses forward slashes so it survives interpolation into a JS string literal on Windows. Supersedes PRs #2523, #2294 and #2290, which each covered a subset of these sites.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(watchdog): signal-0 liveness, tick-scaled respawn guard, windowsHide Three-bug chain behind the Windows terminal-agent leak (console window strobing every 60s, one orphaned agent per watchdog tick until the box ran out of committable memory): 1. isProcessAlive shelled out to `tasklist /FI "PID eq <pid>"` on Windows with a 3s timeout. A Bun.spawnSync that hits its timeout still RETURNS with partial stdout, so the `.includes()` PID match read a LIVE agent as dead — killAgentByRecord skipped the kill, the watchdog respawned around the survivor, and every orphan slowed the next tasklist enough to produce the next false negative. Now: `process.kill(pid, 0)` on every platform (Node and Bun both map signal 0 to an OpenProcess existence check on Windows), with EPERM counted as alive. No subprocess, no timeout, no console window. 2. The respawn circuit-breaker was mathematically unreachable — verified in this tree: RESPAWN_GUARD_WINDOW_MS was a fixed 60_000 against a 60_000ms default tick, and each tick pushes at most one respawn timestamp, so three pushes span ~120s and can never coexist inside a 60s window (eviction is strict `>`, and setInterval drift plus per-tick work always ages the prior entry past the boundary). The guard could not fire at the default tick rate and a steady one-per-tick leak ran unbounded. The window now scales with the tick: max(60_000, tick * (RESPAWN_GUARD_MAX + 2)), so "3 crashes in quick succession → stop" holds at any tick value. 3. The tasklist probe popped a visible console per tick (no windowsHide). Removing the shell-out kills that site; the agent-spawn site itself already passes windowsHide: true (landed with the bun-polyfill windowsHide commit — PR #2414's terminal-agent-control.ts hunk is reconciled there rather than duplicated). New browse/test/process-liveness-windows.test.ts pins all three: no subprocess from the probe, a static tripwire against reintroducing `tasklist` + `PID eq` liveness checks in src/, the spawnTerminalAgent windowsHide + stdio contract, and the window-derived-from-tick arithmetic. terminal-agent-watchdog.test.ts test 4 now pins the window/tick relationship instead of the fixed literal that let this ship. Also converts `new URL(import.meta.url).pathname` to `import.meta.path` across the static-grep tests it touches — the pathname form yields /C:/... on Windows and breaks path.resolve. Contributed by @SYKhayyat (PR #2414). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(terminal-agent): tie agent lifetime to its owning browse server PID The terminal agent is intentionally detached so it survives the short-lived CLI launcher, but its real owner is the persistent browse server. If that server crashed or was killed before running normal shutdown, the agent was adopted by PID 1 and lived forever (#2019). spawnTerminalAgent now requires an ownerPid and exports it to the agent as BROWSE_OWNER_PID; all three spawn sites pass the server PID (cli.ts cold-start, cli.ts supervisor respawn, server.ts watchdog). The agent polls the owner with signal 0 every 15s (GSTACK_TERMINAL_OWNER_WATCHDOG_MS to tune) on an unref'd timer and, when the owner disappears, exits through the SAME cleanup path as an intentional SIGTERM shutdown — now re-entrancy-guarded and also removing the terminal-internal-token file alongside the port file and agent record. Runtime test spawns a real agent tied to a throwaway owner process, kills the owner, and asserts the agent exits and its discovery files (terminal-agent-pid, terminal-port) are gone. Reconciled with the watchdog commit's spawnTerminalAgent contract test (process-liveness-windows.test.ts now passes ownerPid and pins the BROWSE_OWNER_PID env forwarding). Closes #2019. Contributed by @csarigoz (PR #2530). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(windows): give the bun-polyfill spawn shim a real `exited` promise Bun.spawn exposes `proc.exited` as a Promise resolving to the exit code. The Node fallback shim (dist/bun-polyfill.cjs) returned no such field, so every `await proc.exited` on the Windows path resolved instantly to undefined — the Windows cookie picker (cookie-import-browser.ts races proc.exited at three sites) read stdout before the child produced it and silent-failed; browser-skill-commands and terminal-agent hit the same class. The shim now: - drains stdout/stderr eagerly into capped in-memory buffers (Node's Readables are pull-based; without draining, a child writing past the OS pipe buffer blocks in write() and 'exit' never fires), replaying them as fresh single-shot Web ReadableStreams so reads work before or after awaiting exit; - caps the buffer at 16 MB (GSTACK_SPAWN_MAX_BUFFER to override), still draining past the cap so a runaway child can't wedge or OOM; - resolves `exited` with Bun-matching codes (exit code, 128+signal, 1 on spawn error) after both pipes finish, and resolves on 'error' too — Node fires 'error' without 'exit' when the binary is missing, which otherwise hangs the await forever. Six tests pin exit codes, the read-after-exit ordering, spawn-failure resolution, the buffer cap, and the large-output drain. Adapted to the current test file (require path goes through the requirePath variable from the windowsHide commit), and the 1 MB drain test's child now exits in the write callback — on modern Node a pipe write past the OS buffer is async and process.exit() straight after write() truncates at ~64 KB even with a live reader, which fails the test for reasons unrelated to the shim.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): BROWSE_BIN carries the .exe suffix on Windows On Windows, `bun build --compile` emits browse.exe, but setup's BROWSE_BIN pointed at the suffixless path — so the post-build gate (`[ ! -x "$BROWSE_BIN" ]` → "browse binary missing") could never pass on Windows even after a fully successful build, while the build step itself reported success. Closes #2291. Applied the PR's override after the IS_WINDOWS detection, and also to the second BROWSE_BIN assignment the PR predates: the direct-Codex- install migration path re-derives BROWSE_BIN from the migrated dir and would otherwise drop the suffix again on Windows.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): link lib/ beside bin/ at all five host-install sites bin/ scripts import shared modules via ../lib (gstack-learnings-log → lib/jsonl-store.ts is the reported case), so any runtime root that exposes bin/ without lib/ breaks 13 bin/ commands — learnings-log, decision-log, telemetry and friends fail with "Cannot find module .../lib/jsonl-store.ts" on every non-Claude install, silently from the skills' perspective. All five host-install sites now carry lib/ next to bin/, each through the existing _link_or_copy helper (never raw ln — the static invariant in test/setup-windows-fallback.test.ts enforces this): - .agents sidecar (create_agents_sidecar asset loop) - Codex runtime root (create_codex_runtime_root) - Factory runtime root (create_factory_runtime_root) - OpenCode runtime root (create_opencode_runtime_root) - Kiro install block New test/setup-runtime-lib-command.test.ts executes the real setup shell for each root in a sandbox (both the symlink branch and the Windows copy branch of _link_or_copy) and runs gstack-learnings-log end-to-end from the installed root, asserting the learning lands in ~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/learnings.jsonl — plus a negative control proving a bin-without-lib root fails exactly the way the bug report did. gen-skill-docs.test.ts's setup-validation block pins the lib link at every site.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * ci(windows): curate the fix-wave regression tests into the windows-latest run The windows-free-tests curated set is derived (POSIX-fragility regex scan + explicit deny list), and two of this wave's Windows regression files were auto-excluded on false-positive pattern hits: - browse/test/file-permissions.test.ts tripped the POSIX-mode-bitmask pattern, but every `mode & 0o777` assertion is platform-guarded — and the file carries the win32-only icacls-by-SID regression tests, which can only ever execute on windows-latest. - browse/test/terminal-agent-owner-watchdog.test.ts tripped the spawn(['bun','run',...]) pattern whose reason is the Playwright-bound browse server; it actually spawns terminal-agent.ts (fs/path/crypto + local helpers only, no Playwright at module scope), and the owner-PID orphan leak it pins was reported on Windows (#2019). Adds a KNOWN_WINDOWS_SAFE force-include list (mirror of KNOWN_WINDOWS_INCOMPATIBLE, each entry carrying its false-positive rationale) consulted before the pattern scan, and makes the owner-watchdog test's throwaway owner process Windows-portable (process.execPath instead of `sleep`, which a bare runner may not have). The wave's other new files need no wiring: process-liveness-windows and the bun-polyfill windowsHide/exited tests pass curation automatically; setup-runtime-lib-command self-skips on win32 by design (its Windows branch is exercised by simulating IS_WINDOWS=1 under bash), so force-including it would add a permanently-skipped file.

Fixes #2091, #2370. Union of both community fixes, compared at the diff level: - PR #2372: all 11 source sites with a suffix after the X-run — codex SKILL.md.tmpl (5), claude SKILL.md.tmpl (3), bin/gstack-developer-profile (2, suffix folded into the prefix: .json.tmp.XXXXXX), and the office-hours codex pass in scripts/resolvers/review.ts (1). - PR #2103: the second half of #2091 — bin/gstack-paths now strips the trailing slash from TMP_ROOT at the source (macOS $TMPDIR ends in `/`), plus runtime tests pinning that normalization. New repo-wide tripwire in test/regression-issue2091-bsd-mktemp.test.ts: every .tmpl, every SKILL.md, and every scripts/resolvers/*.ts is swept — no mktemp template may carry a suffix after the X-run, with a self-test so the detector can't be quietly blinded.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(codex,review,ship): scope codex review with an explicit --base flag, never prompt text `codex review` takes its scope ONLY from --base/--commit/--uncommitted. The positional [PROMPT] is mutually exclusive with all three, and a prompt-only `codex review "<text>"` silently falls back to the uncommitted working-tree scope (verified on 0.144.1: it runs `git status --short; git diff` and reviews that) — so the previous prompt-based scoping produced a confidently-worded review of the WRONG changes and read "no changes" on a clean tree. Every diff pass now invokes `codex review --base <base>` with no prompt argument: /codex Step 2A default path, the /review structured pass, and the /ship adversarial-section pass (all via scripts/resolvers/review.ts). Custom review instructions keep their own `codex exec` path (the CLI rejects prompt + scope flag together), with the filesystem boundary preserved there. Two new Error Handling entries teach the failure shapes: the argv-parse error, and the "review says no changes on a branch full of changes" symptom. Tests updated to pin the new invariant instead of banning the fix: the old assertions required the diff range in prompt text and banned the `--base <base> -c '...'` substring, which the correct scoped form contains. Also deletes test/fixtures/golden-ship-claude.md — a 2,565-line orphaned fixture referenced by zero tests (the live goldens are in test/fixtures/golden/, compared by test/host-config.test.ts); the factory golden is refreshed from the regenerated output.

An unwrapped stall returns no exit code and no output, which downstream reads as "Codex reviewed and found nothing" — a truncated pass silently became a clean bill. Measured on codex-cli 0.145.0: a pass was killed at 287s of a 300s budget mid-tool-call, and the same prompt completed in 336s. Both passes in scripts/resolvers/review.ts (adversarial `codex exec` and the structured `codex review --base` pass) now re-source gstack-codex-probe and run under `_gstack_codex_timeout_wrapper 540`, with the Bash tool gate raised to 600000 ms so the wrapper fires FIRST and a stall surfaces as a diagnosable exit 124. The timeout guidance now says a timed-out pass is MISSING COVERAGE, not a clean result, and points at the run's rollout log under ~/.codex/sessions/ for partial output. The stale "timeout doesn't exist on macOS" claim is gone — the wrapper resolves gtimeout, then timeout, then runs unwrapped, so it is safe without coreutils. Static guards in test/codex-hardening.test.ts pin all three sites (resolver, review/SKILL.md, ship/sections/adversarial.md): both calls wrapped, wrapper budget strictly under the Bash gate, and no reappearance of the macOS claim that steered these call sites away from the wrapper in the first place. The Claude-output path guard in test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts now scrubs ~/.codex/sessions/ (a user-facing Codex CLI path, same class as the ~/.codex/logs/ exemption) before banning Codex host paths. Generated files regenerated via gen:skill-docs; factory golden refreshed. Contributed by @aegixx (PR #2379). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(codex): sandbox the review path, fail the gate closed, order timeouts wrapper-first Closes #2496, #2524, #2477 — three defects in the class "a guard that reports success while doing nothing", all in codex/SKILL.md.tmpl: (a) Review sandbox. The default `codex review` path was the only codex call with no sandbox override, inheriting ~/.codex/config.toml's default — write access on a trusted project — while Important Rules claimed read-only. Top-level `codex review` has no -s/--sandbox flag (verified on 0.147.0), so the invocation now pins `-c 'sandbox_mode="read-only"'`, the same form the consult-resume path already uses. (b) Fail-closed verdict gate. The old rule ("no [P1] found → PASS") could not fail on the default path: native `codex review` output carries no bracketed tags, and a non-zero exit, expired auth, timeout, or empty result also contains no [P1] — all read as PASS. The gate is now an ordered, fail-closed check: non-zero exit → FAIL; empty output → FAIL; [P0]/[P1] (bracketed or codex's native labels) → FAIL with count; NO severity tags at all → FAIL requiring a human read; PASS is only reachable through the explicit tagged-advisory-only branch. [P0] is recognized as blocking, and the review-log findings count includes it. (c) Bash gate above the wrapper. Step 2A instructed `timeout: 300000` under a 330s wrapper, and Challenge's 300s gate sat under a 600s wrapper — the harness killed the call before the wrapper could emit its diagnosable exit-124 message. Every Bash gate now sits strictly ABOVE its wrapper: 360000 over the 330s review wrapper, 660000 over the 600s challenge/consult wrappers, with the ordering rationale stated at each site. Also from #2477/#2524: a new Error Handling entry for the model-entitlement 400 ("The '<model>' model is not supported...") pointing at the `model =` pin and `[notice.model_migrations]` in ~/.codex/config.toml and saying exactly which override to retry with (-m for exec-based modes, `-c model="..."` for review mode, which rejects -m); the Model & Reasoning section no longer documents `-m` for `/codex review`. Static assertions in test/codex-hardening.test.ts pin (a)-(c) across both the .tmpl and the generated SKILL.md: every scoped review invocation carries sandbox_mode="read-only" and never -s; the default-PASS sentence is banned and the fail-closed branches are present; and per-section, every Bash `timeout: N` is strictly greater than every wrapper budget, with 2A/2B/2C all required to be inspected.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(preamble): quoted tilde made Artifacts Sync and telemetry-finalize dead code in 49 skills A tilde inside double quotes never expands, so the generated `_BRAIN_SYNC_BIN="~/..."` assignments resolved to a literal ./~ path and the Artifacts Sync + telemetry-finalize blocks silently no-op'd in every skill that carried them (regression of #785). The preamble resolvers now emit $HOME-based paths; all generated SKILL.md files regenerate identically from the fixed templates, and a static tripwire fails the suite if a quoted-tilde assignment ever reappears in generated output.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen-skill-docs): stop the catalog trim chopping descriptions at embedded periods The description-trim regex treated the first period as end-of-sentence, so skill descriptions with embedded periods (e.g. file extensions, version numbers) truncated mid-thought in the generated catalog — the discovery surface every host loads. Trim now respects the full first sentence; diagram's description regenerates to its intended text. Contributed by @sneakygriff (PR #2171). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(preamble): update_check:false gates the prose, not just the binary Setting update_check:false stopped the update-check BINARY from running, but every skill preamble still shipped the upgrade-handling instruction prose unconditionally — burning tokens on instructions that could never fire and confusing agents into probing for upgrades anyway. The resolver now suppresses the upgrade-flow prose when the config disables checks. Fixes #2001. Contributed by @jc0d35 (PR #2022). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): sidebar Terminal — drop the duplicate WS subprotocol header, stop doubling CJK IME input The terminal client passed the auth token as the WS subprotocol AND echoed it in a second header, which some Chromium builds reject; and composition events double-sent CJK input (each IME commit arrived once from the composition handler and once from the data handler).

Now: - provider-created remotes follow `gh config get git_protocol` / `glab config get git_protocol` (HTTPS when unset — the gh default) - explicit/existing/manual remotes keep their given protocol; unknown URL forms (local bare paths, file://, self-hosted) pass through - new --push-protocol auto|https|ssh flag overrides the inference - the unreachable-remote error names the actual protocol and points at --push-protocol instead of assuming a missing SSH key Closes #1348.

Run `git check-ignore -q -- .gstack/` first and return early when git says it's covered; git-missing/not-a-repo/timeout all fall through to the existing text-check append (the safe default).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): guard browser.process() in resolveDisconnectCause `.process()` only exists on browsers Playwright launched itself; a browser from connectOverCDP() (or a test stub) has no such method, so the blind call threw "browser?.process is not a function" inside the disconnect handler and took down the daemon.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(lib): narrow the override injection denylist to instruction-shaped phrases The /override[:\s]/i pattern flagged any prose containing "override " or "override:" — CLI flags (--port-override -1), tfvars notes, and plain "you can override the default region" all tripped the injection guard. Require an instruction-shaped continuation: "override (all)? previous | prior | above | the rules/instructions/system prompt". Genuine attempts like "Override: ignore all previous instructions" still block via the ignore-previous pattern. Closes #2401, #1934.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(config): make gstack-config key validation locale-independent POSIX bracket ranges like a-z follow the active collation order; under GNU grep with tr_TR.UTF-8 the range excludes the ASCII letter i, so every key containing i (skill_prefix, explain_level, ...) was rejected as invalid. Pin both get/set validators to LC_ALL=C, with a source-level tripwire test since macOS BSD grep doesn't reproduce the bug. Closes #2494. Contributed by @Math1987 (PR #2506). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(resolvers): stop env-var hosts from doubling $HOME in the binary fallback path The browse/design/make-pdf setup resolvers built the fallback binary path as "$HOME" + dir.replace(/^~/, ''), which is only correct for ~-rooted dirs. Env-var hosts carry an absolute $GSTACK_* dir, so the generated fallback became $HOME$GSTACK_.../browse — a path that never exists. New toShellPath() in scripts/resolvers/types.ts expands ~ to $HOME and passes absolute env-var dirs through untouched; all five call sites route through it. Claude-host generated output is byte-identical, so no SKILL.md regeneration is needed here. Closes #2055. Contributed by @simjak (PR #2056). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(settings-hook): respect CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR when resolving settings.json gstack-settings-hook hardcoded $HOME/.claude/settings.json, so users running Claude Code with a relocated CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR had hooks written to a config file Claude never reads. Resolve ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude} first; the explicit GSTACK_SETTINGS_FILE override still wins. Partial #349. Contributed by @andrefogelman (PR #2239). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): dispatch a change event after fill for change-only validators Playwright's Locator.fill() dispatches `input` but never `change`, so frameworks that validate on change (AngularJS ng-change, debounced strength/match checks) never saw the filled value — correct in the DOM, failing the framework's own validation. `browse fill` now dispatches `change` after the fill.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(safety): unknown question-preference source exits the documented 2, not 1 The --write user-origin gate documents exit 2 as "rejected, do not retry" (profile poisoning defense), but a source outside both the allowed and the explicitly-rejected lists fell through to exit 1 — the generic validation code callers treat as retryable. Unknown sources now exit 2 with the same do-not-retry rejection message as the known non-user-originated ones. Closes #2390. Contributed by @gregario (PR #2429). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(pr-title): stop duplicating the version prefix on bare-version titles A title that was nothing but a version ("v1.2.3" — the form ship uses for version-only bumps) matched neither the "v<NEW_VERSION> " literal case nor the trailing-space strip regex, fell through to the prepend path, and came out as "v1.2.3.4 v1.2.3" — which pr-title-sync.yml then wrote back via gh pr edit. Handle the bare form in both the no-change case and the prefix-strip regex, and emit a bare new version when nothing follows. Closes #1886. Contributed by @jbetala7 (PR #1887). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(build): escape literal braces in the bun:sqlite stub regex Perl >= 5.26 treats an unescaped literal `{` in a pattern as fatal ("Unescaped left brace in regex is illegal"), so build-node-server.sh died at the bun:sqlite stub substitution on modern perl.

New read_config_value() strips only the "key:" prefix and trailing whitespace (cut-style parse), and set appends the same newline-stripped value the in-place edit path uses. Closes #1782. Contributed by @jbetala7 (PR #1783). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): recover a late-healthy detached daemon instead of a false "Server failed to start" startServer spawns the daemon detached + unref'd, then polls health for a fixed budget. On a loaded machine the budget can elapse in the gap between the loop's last tick and the daemon becoming ready — the CLI reported "Server failed to start within Ns" while the very next `browse status` showed a healthy server. Add a final readState()+isServerHealthy() re-check before the timeout throw, and make the budget env-overridable via BROWSE_START_TIMEOUT (BROWSE_* tunable convention). Structural + behavioral tests pin both invariants. Closes #1846. Contributed by @harjothkhara (PR #1847). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): daemon resilience on loaded machines — Bun conn errors, stop/restart flush, startup + git-root budgets Four load-sensitivity fixes in the daemon lifecycle: - sendCommand only recognized Node's ECONNREFUSED/ECONNRESET; the compiled CLI runs on Bun, which reports 'ConnectionRefused'/'ConnectionClosed' ("Unable to connect..."), so daemon crashes leaked the raw error and exited 1 instead of entering the busy-check/restart path. Match both. - stop/restart called shutdown() inline, which exits before the HTTP response flushes — the CLI saw a dropped socket (and would now crash-retry a fresh daemon just to stop it). Defer shutdown ~100ms so the 200 lands first. - Non-CI POSIX startup budget raised 8s -> 15s (cold Chromium measured ~5.7s at load avg 10; load 12+ blew the old budget while the detached daemon was still booting). - getGitRoot's 2s git rev-parse timeout returned null under load (6.3s spikes measured), scattering state files across cwds into split-brain daemons. Raise to 8s, still bounded. Contributed by @mplatts (PR #1732). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(telemetry): ingest keeps error_message/failed_step instead of dropping them The telemetry_events columns exist and bin/gstack-telemetry-log already sends error_message + failed_step, but the Supabase ingest function dropped both fields on insert — every error report arrived with no message and no failing step. Map them through with the same bounded-length sanitization as error_class (500/100 chars). The completion-status resolver now also passes --error-message/--failed-step in the generated skill telemetry block, with instructions to leave them empty on success. Resolver only for the template side; generated SKILL.md files regenerate from this source in the docs lane. Contributed by @sunnnybala (PR #769). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): surface non-EEXIST errors in acquireServerLock instead of masking them acquireServerLock caught every open failure as if the lock were held: EACCES/EROFS/ENOENT surfaced as phantom "another process holds the lock" (null return, no diagnostics), and a failed stale-lock read or unlink was swallowed the same way. Each failure class now logs a coded, pathed diagnostic: non-EEXIST open errors, holder-PID read errors (ENOENT retries the acquire — the holder released between open and read), and stale-lock unlink errors. Four-case unit test included. Closes #1084. Contributed by @jbetala7 (PR #1725); same fix independently by @JiayuuWang (PR #1097). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(paths): shell-quote gstack-paths output so eval round-trips values gstack-paths emitted bare KEY=VALUE lines, so the documented eval "$(gstack-paths)" re-parsed the values: backslashes were eaten as escapes (Windows $TMP C:\Users\... became C:Users...) and a space word-split the assignment, leaving the variable empty. Emit each value with printf %q so eval round-trips byte-for-byte; plain POSIX paths are unchanged. Round-trip regression tests cover backslashes, spaces, and embedded quotes. Closes #2374.

Cached identity now wins, with one precise exception: when the cached value equals THIS pwd's basename while the walk-up proves pwd is not the project root, the entry came from the pre-walk-up subdirectory bug (#1125) and is recomputed.

3 people	3bef43bc5a	v1.55.0.0 fix wave: gbrain data-loss guards + browser crash-loop + 6 more (#1808) ... * fix(jsonl-merge): make equal-ts resolution converge across machines The JSONL append merge driver sorted timestamped entries by (0, ts) with no further tiebreaker. Equal-ts entries then fell back to stable-sort insertion order (base, ours, theirs), but git assigns the local side to "ours", so two machines resolving the same conflict emitted equal-ts lines in opposite order. The merged files diverged and never converged. gstack-telemetry-log uses second-granularity timestamps, so same-ts collisions are routine. Add the line content as the final sort tiebreaker so the order is total and side-independent. Add a regression test that runs the driver with the two sides swapped and asserts identical output. * fix(gen-skill-docs): quote frontmatter descriptions with interior colons (#1778) Generated SKILL.md frontmatter emitted the catalog-trimmed description: as a plain YAML scalar. A description with an interior ": " (e.g. "Ship workflow: detect...") parses as a nested mapping under strict YAML loaders, so Codex/OpenAI skill loading rejected those skills. applyCatalogTrim now routes the value through toYamlInlineScalar, which quotes (via JSON.stringify) only when a plain scalar would be invalid — interior ": ", inline " #", leading indicator char, or surrounding whitespace. Strings that are already valid plain scalars pass through unchanged to keep regen diffs small. The frontmatter test now parses every generated block (Claude + Codex hosts) with Bun.YAML.parse instead of string-checking that name:/description: substrings exist, so the regression can't reappear. Runs under `bun test` (already in CI).

But the readers disagreed: sourceLocalPath accepted both the wrapped {sources:[...]} object (v0.20+) and a bare array, while probeSource and sourcePageCount accepted only the wrapped shape. Extract one parseSourcesList() normalizer and route all three through it, so the shape assumption lives in a single place. This is also the base the #1734 remote_url audit builds on. parseSourcesList returns [] for null/garbage rather than throwing; callers treat 'no rows' as absent. New test/gbrain-sources-parse.test.ts pins both shapes plus the garbage paths and confirms config.remote_url survives for the audit. #1576 is closeable as already-fixed in v1.42.0.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gbrain): spawn gbrain + brain-sync through a shell on Windows (#1731) On Windows, bun/npm install gbrain as a gbrain.cmd/.ps1 shim and gstack-brain-sync is a bash shebang script. spawnSync/spawn/execFileSync resolve neither without a shell, so the child spawn failed ENOENT — on the sync orchestrator this surfaced as 'brain-sync exited undefined' (#1731). Add NEEDS_SHELL_ON_WINDOWS (process.platform === 'win32') in gbrain-exec and pass it as shell: to every gbrain/brain-sync child spawn: spawnGbrain, spawnGbrainAsync, execGbrainText (gbrain-exec), the two sources-list/remove/add spawns (gbrain-sources), the version + probe spawns (gbrain-local-status), and the two brain-sync spawns in the orchestrator. POSIX keeps the cheaper no-shell path. macOS/Linux CI can't exercise the Windows path, so test/gbrain-spawn-windows-shell.ts is a static-grep tripwire: it fails CI if a gbrain/brain-sync spawn is added without the shell flag. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(catalog-trim): expect YAML-quoted descriptions with interior colons (#1778) The quoting fix wraps colon-bearing catalog descriptions in double quotes; two catalog-trim assertions still pinned the old unquoted form. Tolerate the optional quotes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gbrain-sync): defensive guards against destructive gbrain ops (#1734) The orchestrator shelled out to gbrain's destructive subcommands as if they were safe. gbrain can rm-rf a user's working tree during an autopilot race (its own bug, upstream gbrain #1526); gstack now defends itself. New lib/gbrain-guards.ts gates the two destructive reach points, all checked immediately before the op: - Autopilot refuse (multi-signal, affirmative-only): refuse a destructive op when a live 'gbrain autopilot' process (primary) or a known autopilot lock file (secondary; checked under both GBRAIN_HOME and ~/.gbrain since gbrain #1226 ignores GBRAIN_HOME) is present. No signal → proceed; inability to introspect never bricks a normal sync. - sources remove: routed through safeSourcesRemove → decideSourceRemove. Fail CLOSED — refuse to remove a user-managed source (remote_url set, local_path outside gbrain's clones) when gbrain has no --keep-storage to protect the files (it doesn't in 0.41.x). Also fail closed when the source list can't be read. Path containment uses realpath so a symlink can't smuggle a delete out of clones. - sync --strategy code: decideCodeSync refuses URL-managed sources (remote_url set) unless --allow-reclone is passed, since the walk can auto-reclone (rm-rf). Capability detection memoizes per process keyed to gbrain's identity (no stale persistent cache); --keep-storage can't be probed (generic help) so it defaults unsupported → fail closed. Every guard surfaces a visible reason; autopilot/reclone refusals fail the code stage (verdict ERR) rather than silently skipping protection. test/gbrain-guards.test.ts covers all branches hermetically (injected rows + probe overrides): autopilot signals, fail-closed remove, keep-storage path, reclone gate, realpath/symlink containment. Supersedes #1736 (which guarded a nonexistent path). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(sync-gbrain): warn against running during autopilot; prefer --path sources (#1734) Adds a Safety note to the /sync-gbrain guidance (template + regenerated SKILL.md + this repo's CLAUDE.md): don't run while autopilot is active, and prefer `gbrain sources add --path` over URL-managed sources, which can auto-reclone. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory-ingest): configurable import timeout + resume-on-timeout messaging (#1611) The gbrain import (the long pole on big brains) had a hardcoded 30-min timeout, so large memory corpora got SIGTERM'd mid-import on /sync-gbrain --full. Make it configurable via GSTACK_INGEST_TIMEOUT_MS (default 30 min, validated 1min–24h). gstack can't drive gbrain's internal resume, but the existing SIGTERM forwarder already preserves gbrain's import-checkpoint.json, so the next run resumes. On a timeout we now say so explicitly ('checkpoint preserved — re-run /sync-gbrain to resume, raise GSTACK_INGEST_TIMEOUT_MS for big brains') instead of surfacing a bare 'exited null'. True gstack-driven ingest-resume is deferred to gbrain (.context/gbrain-asks.md). Also guards the module's main() behind import.meta.main so resolveImportTimeoutMs is unit-testable; the orchestrator runs it as a subprocess where main still fires. New test/memory-ingest-timeout.test.ts pins default/override/invalid resolution. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): stop the headed daemon crash-loop + silent headless downgrade (#1781) A headed session against a beacon-heavy page (analytics/extension load) could tip the single-threaded daemon into a self-inflicted crash-loop: a brief HTTP stall was read as a crash, the restart didn't clear the dead Chromium's SingletonLock, the relaunch failed, and the session silently came back headless. Four fixes: 1. Busy-vs-dead (sendCommand): on a connection error, if the process is alive give /health a bounded probe (3x/250ms) and just retry the command — never kill+restart a live-but-busy server. A 30s timeout now reports 'busy, not restarting' when the process is alive instead of exiting into a kill cycle. 2. Profile-lock cleanup on (re)start: startServer reaps the orphaned Chromium holding the SingletonLock and clears Singleton{Lock,Socket,Cookie} before relaunch, so the auto-restart path gets the same clean profile the manual connect preamble did. 3. Headed persistence: the restart env reapplies BROWSE_HEADED from this invocation OR the persisted server state (mode==='headed'), so a restart from a plain command never downgrades a headed window to invisible headless. Extracted to buildRestartEnv. 4. Force-clean disconnect reaps the Chromium child tree (via the SingletonLock PID) so the next connect starts clean instead of fighting an orphan. Plus macOS window surfacing: connect + focus raise 'Google Chrome for Testing' to the active Space (best-effort osascript) with a Mission Control hint — the first thing users read as 'I can't see the browser'. Shared lock helpers (chromiumProfileDir / cleanChromiumProfileLocks / killOrphanChromium) dedupe the connect, disconnect, and restart paths. browse/test/restart-env.test.ts pins the headed-persistence decision; the full crash-loop repro is an E2E (periodic). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gbrain-install): remove the v0.18.2 pin, install latest + version floor + doctor self-test (#1744) The installer pinned gbrain at v0.18.2 while gbrain shipped v0.41.x — ~23 versions behind. Remove the hard pin: a fresh clone now stays on the latest default-branch HEAD. --pinned-commit <sha> still pins for reproducibility. Unpinning removes the version gate the pin provided, so add two install-time gates that fail closed (exit 3, matching the existing PATH-shadow/version-mismatch posture): - MIN_GBRAIN_VERSION floor (0.20.0, the sources-list/federated surface gstack needs): refuse an install below it. - gbrain doctor --fast self-test when a brain config already exists (re-install / detected clone): refuse to leave a broken gbrain in place. Pre-init installs skip it; the full /sync-gbrain --dry-run self-test runs from /setup-gbrain after init. Docs updated (USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK.md no longer says 'edit PINNED_COMMIT'). Detect-install tests bump the success-path fixtures above the floor and add a below-floor exit-3 test. The gbrain-side asks (root #1526 fix, --keep-storage, remove-lease, capability command, ingest-resume, integration CI) are written to .context/gbrain-asks.md for filing against garrytan/gbrain. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#1778): update claude-ship golden + catalog-mode assertions for quoted descriptions ship's catalog description ('Ship workflow: detect...') has an interior colon, so the #1778 fix now YAML-quotes it. Refresh the claude-ship golden baseline to the quoted output and make the catalog-mode-full trim/restore assertions quote-tolerant. codex/factory ship goldens are unaffected (they use block-scalar descriptions). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(gen-skill-docs): use function replacer so a $ in a description can't corrupt frontmatter (#1778) String.prototype.replace treats $&/$1/$` in the replacement as patterns. A future skill description containing $ (e.g. referencing $B/$D) would silently corrupt the generated frontmatter. Use a function replacer. Behavior-preserving for all current descriptions (regen produces no diff).

Fills the reference gap left by the configurable-import-timeout fix (#1611) shipped in v1.55.0.0.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.7	22f8c7f4e1	v1.46.0.0 feat: gstack v2 foundation — catalog tokens drop 56%, eval-first floor covers all 51 skills (#1712) ... * docs(designs): add v2_PLAN.md — gstack v2 the lightest opinionated skill pack The approved plan from /plan-ceo-review → /plan-eng-review → /codex×2 → /plan-devex-review. Captures the v1.45/v2.0 hybrid release shape, cathedral parity-eval suite, sequential v1.45 execution, sections/*.md.tmpl pipeline, EVALS_BUDGET_HARD_CAP override path, and v2 launch copy specs. This commit just lands the design doc. Implementation follows in the rest of the v1.45.0.0 branch. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(parity): T0a — capture v1.44.1 baseline + capture helper + diff utility Cathedral parity-eval suite primitive. captureBaseline() walks every top-level SKILL.md and records bytes, lines, estimated tokens, frontmatter description length, and eval coverage. diffBaselines() reports per-skill delta + total corpus delta + catalog tokens delta. Locks the v1.44.1 reference snapshot at test/fixtures/parity-baseline-v1.44.1.json. After Phase A+B+C land, scripts/capture-baseline.ts --tag v1.45.0.0 produces a comparable snapshot; diff supplies the real numbers the v2 CHANGELOG quotes. Never invent baseline numbers; ship them only if they came from a real run. v1.44.1 numbers captured this commit: - 51 skills - 2,847 KB total corpus - ~9,319 catalog tokens (sum of description bytes / 4) - top 3: ship 160 KB, plan-ceo-review 128 KB, office-hours 108 KB Test plan: - bun test test/helpers/capture-parity-baseline.test.ts passes 4/4 - The baseline JSON file is committed so reviewers can audit v1→v2 numbers Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(resolvers): T2 — ResolverEntry + appliesTo gate infrastructure Adds the conditional-resolver-injection plumbing from the v2_PLAN A.1 step. Resolvers can now be either a bare ResolverFn (always fires, current behavior) or a ResolverEntry { resolve, appliesTo? } (gated; appliesTo returning false skips the resolver, substitutes empty string). Why infrastructure-only: the audit during T0a confirmed most resolvers don't need gating. The {{NAME}} placeholder system is already conditional at the template level — a resolver only fires for skills that reference it. The gate is for future use when a placeholder's audience needs a structural guardrail beyond social convention, or when a sub-resolver inside a larger composed resolver (e.g. preamble) needs per-skill skip. scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts:444 now uses unwrapResolver() to handle both shapes. RESOLVERS map signature widens from Record<string, ResolverFn> to Record<string, ResolverValue>. All existing resolvers stay bare functions and work unchanged. Test plan: - bun test test/resolver-entry.test.ts: 6 pass (gate plumbing + registry) - bun test test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts: 389 pass (no regression) - bun run gen:skill-docs --dry-run: all SKILL.md files FRESH (no diff) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(preamble): T3 — jargon dedup + terse-build flag (Phase A.2 + A.3) A.2 jargon dedup: generate-writing-style.ts replaces the inlined 80-term jargon list with a one-line pointer to scripts/jargon-list.json. The list was duplicated into every tier-2+ skill (48 of 51 skills); inlining cost was ~1.5 KB × 48 = ~70 KB across the corpus. Pointer cost is ~30 bytes per skill. Agents Read the JSON once per session on first jargon term encountered; thereafter the terms array is the canonical reference. A.3 terse build flag: --explain-level=terse compresses preamble prose at gen time. When the flag is set, writing-style collapses to a one-line terse directive and completeness-section + confusion-protocol + context-health are dropped entirely. The default build keeps the runtime-conditional behavior intact (sections still render; the model skips them when EXPLAIN_LEVEL: terse appears in the preamble echo). Terse build is opt-in for users who want shipped skills to match their runtime preference and avoid the per-session terse-mode dead prose. TemplateContext gains an optional `explainLevel: 'default' | 'terse'` field. Default builds set it to 'default'; --explain-level=terse sets 'terse'. Resolvers gate their output via `ctx?.explainLevel === 'terse'`. Measured impact (default build, post-T3): - Total corpus: 2,847 KB → 2,812 KB (saved 35 KB) - ship.md: 160 → 159 KB - plan-ceo-review.md: 128 → 127 KB - Top 10 heaviest: all slightly smaller from jargon pointer Larger compression lands in T4 (catalog trim) and T7 (atomic regen across the full Phase A pipeline). The terse build path further compresses to ~711K tokens vs default ~725K (saved ~14K tokens corpus-wide). Test plan: - bun test test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts: 389 pass (no regression) - bun test test/resolver-entry.test.ts: 6 pass - bun test test/helpers/capture-parity-baseline.test.ts: 4 pass - bun run gen:skill-docs --explain-level=terse: ship.md drops completeness + confusion-protocol + context-health sections; writing-style collapses to one-line terse directive 48 SKILL.md files updated (every tier-2+ skill picks up the jargon pointer). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(catalog): T4 — catalog trim + proactive-suggestions.json (Phase A.4) Shortens frontmatter `description:` in every Claude SKILL.md to a single lead sentence + (gstack) tag. The routing prose ("Use when asked to...", "Proactively suggest...") and voice triggers move to a "## When to invoke" body section so they remain discoverable inside the skill. A per-run registry at scripts/proactive-suggestions.json aggregates the routing/ voice text for all 52 skills so agents can pull guidance on demand without paying for it in the always-loaded catalog. Build flag --catalog-mode=full restores v1.44 legacy behavior (full multi-line descriptions in frontmatter). Default is trim. splitCatalogDescription() extracts: lead sentence, routing paragraphs, voice-triggers line, (gstack) tag presence. Short descriptions (<120 chars, already trimmed) are skipped via a guard so re-runs are idempotent. Measured impact (vs v1.44.1 baseline): - Catalog tokens (sum of description bytes / 4): 9,319 → 4,045 (-56.6%) - Total SKILL.md corpus bytes: 2,915 KB → 2,880 KB (-1.2%) - Routing prose preserved as in-skill "## When to invoke" sections - 52 skill entries in scripts/proactive-suggestions.json (on-demand registry) The corpus drop is small because catalog trim MOVES text from frontmatter to body, it doesn't delete it. The headline win is the catalog: the always-loaded system prompt surface drops by more than half. Test plan: - bun test test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts: 389 pass, 0 fail - Manual: ship/SKILL.md frontmatter description is now ONE line ending with `(gstack)`; allowed-tools field on next line (YAML well-formed) - Manual: scripts/proactive-suggestions.json contains 52 entries - bun run gen:skill-docs --catalog-mode=full restores legacy behavior 53 files changed (52 SKILL.md across hosts + the new proactive-suggestions.json). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(budget): T5 — hard token budgets + override audit trail (Phase A.6) Two new gate-tier guardrails for the v1.45.0.0 compression baseline: 1. test/skill-size-budget.test.ts (NEW) — per-skill SKILL.md size budget. Compares current state to test/fixtures/parity-baseline-v1.44.1.json. Three checks: per-skill (×1.05 default ratio), total corpus, and catalog token estimate (≤7000 for v1.45). The per-skill ratio is 1.05 not 1.0 because the T4 catalog trim moves text from frontmatter to a body section; small skills see a tiny body growth that's fine when offset by the much larger catalog-token win. 2. test/skill-budget-regression.test.ts EXTENDED — hard dollar cap on per-run eval cost. Per-tier defaults: gate $25, periodic $70. Umbrella EVALS_BUDGET_HARD_CAP=$30. Catches runaway eval costs (infinite retry, model price changes) before they amortize across PRs. Both checks support an override path with audit trail: GSTACK_SIZE_BUDGET_OVERRIDE_REASON="why this is OK" — size EVALS_BUDGET_OVERRIDE_REASON="why this is OK" — cost Overrides log to ~/.gstack/analytics/spend-overrides.jsonl with timestamp + scope + reason + CI provenance (runner, branch, commit) via test/helpers/budget-override.ts. Why the override audit: a hard cap with no escape valve becomes operationally hostile (legit price changes, longer transcripts, new required evals can all blow the cap). An override with no audit becomes "everyone overrides everything and the gate is theater." This module ships the audit half so reviewers can see what was waived and why. Codex 2nd-pass critique #3 absorbed: per-suite caps + override path with auditability + budget baselines checked into repo (parity-baseline-v1.44.1.json already in test/fixtures/). Test plan: - bun test test/skill-size-budget.test.ts: 4 pass (per-skill, corpus, catalog, baseline-exists) - bun test test/skill-budget-regression.test.ts: 4 pass (2 existing ratio checks + 2 new hard-cap checks) - Existing eval runs ($14.11 e2e, $0.02 llm-judge) sit well under the new caps Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(cso): T6 — pin must-preserve security phrases (Phase A.5) cso/SKILL.md is a content-heavy security audit skill (75 KB after T3+T4). Codex 2nd-pass critique #9: "cso exemption too broad ... should still get resolver dedup, catalog trim, sectioning if safe, and targeted evals around must-not-miss checks." T3 (jargon dedup) and T4 (catalog trim) already applied to cso the same way they applied to every other skill — confirmed by inspection: - jargon list NOT inlined (0 inline term lines) - catalog description trimmed to one line (74 bytes vs 774 bytes baseline) - "## When to invoke" body section present T6 work: lock in the security-prose preservation via a gate-tier test that fails CI if future compression strips load-bearing phrases: - OWASP, STRIDE positioning - daily / comprehensive mode discipline - confidence scoring language - active verification ("verif" prefix catches verify/verified/verification) - ## Preamble heading (preamble resolver still fires) Also guards cso against accidental over-stripping: SKILL.md must stay ≥30 KB (currently 75 KB) — a sudden cliff would mean compression went past the targeted-dedup line into structural removal. No structural change to cso. Future Phase B sections/ work for cso requires writing baseline parity tests FIRST per the v2_PLAN.md sequencing. Test plan: - bun test test/cso-preserved.test.ts: 5 pass Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(parity): T0b — cathedral parity-suite harness + invariant registry Adds the harness that the v2_PLAN.md cathedral parity-eval suite is built on. Compares CURRENT SKILL.md output to v1.44.1 baseline along three axes: STRUCTURE frontmatter shape (catalog trim landed, "## When to invoke" present) CONTENT must-preserve phrases per skill family (cso: OWASP/STRIDE; plan-ceo: SCOPE EXPANSION/HOLD SCOPE/REDUCTION; ship: VERSION/CHANGELOG/PR; etc.) SIZE per-skill byte budget (maxSizeRatio + minBytes guards) PARITY_INVARIANTS registry pins 10 load-bearing skills (cso, ship, plan-*- review, review, qa, investigate, office-hours, autoplan). Each entry declares what must NOT regress; future compression that strips these phrases or shrinks a skill past its minBytes cliff fails CI. Periodic-tier LLM-judge parity (paid, ~$0.20/skill) lands in v2.0.0.0 sections/ phase. Same registry, same harness, judge added on top. Test plan: - bun test test/parity-suite.test.ts: 10/10 invariants pass vs v1.44.1 - Per-skill failures get actionable per-line breakdown so a reviewer can see which phrase / heading / size limit went sideways Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(coverage): T1 — skill coverage matrix + structural-compliance floor Phase 0 deliverable — eval-first foundation. Two new test files plus the registry: 1. test/skill-coverage-matrix.ts — single source of truth mapping each skill to its gate-tier + periodic-tier test files. SKILL_COVERAGE record with 51 entries; every gstack skill on disk has at least one gate-tier entry. 2. test/skill-coverage-matrix.test.ts — CI gate. Asserts every skill on disk has a registry entry AND that gate[] is non-empty. Catches "skill added but eval not registered" the moment a new SKILL.md lands. 3. test/skill-coverage-floor.test.ts — per-skill structural compliance (FREE, file-IO only). For each of 51 skills, verifies: - SKILL.md exists - Frontmatter well-formed (name + description fields) - Catalog-trim contract (inline description ≤ 250 chars, or block form) - Generated header present (edit .tmpl, not .md) - Body ≥ 200 bytes (non-trivial content) - No unresolved {{TEMPLATE}} placeholders leaked The "floor" is the minimum eval that every skill ships with. Skills that need deeper behavioral testing get additional entries in their coverage record (e.g., ship has skill-e2e-ship-idempotency + workflow + floor). Future skills only need to add the floor entry and the matrix gate unblocks them. Codex 2nd-pass critique #1 mitigation: eval-first floor is structural compliance (the testable part) — judgment-skill behavior gets layered periodic-tier evals on top. We don't pretend the floor proves correctness, only that the skill structurally compiles. Test plan: - bun test test/skill-coverage-matrix.test.ts: 4 pass (matrix shape + coverage) - bun test test/skill-coverage-floor.test.ts: 309 pass (6 checks × 51 skills + 3 registry-level) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * build(skills): T7 — atomic regenerate + capture v1.45.0.0 baseline Final regen pass across all hosts after T1-T6 work landed. Captures the v1.45.0.0 parity baseline at test/fixtures/parity-baseline-v1.45.0.0.json for diffing against the v1.44.1 reference. Measured deltas (real numbers from test/helpers/capture-parity-baseline.ts): Total SKILL.md corpus 2,847 KB → 2,813 KB (-1.2%) Catalog tokens (always-loaded) ~9,319 → ~4,045 tokens (-56.6%) Top 10 heaviest skills 0.5-1.0% drop each The catalog token cut is the headline. It's the always-loaded surface, i.e. tokens charged on every session start. Per-skill SKILL.md sizes barely moved because T4 catalog trim MOVES routing prose from frontmatter to a body "## When to invoke" section rather than deleting it — the catalog wins without amputating discoverability. The bigger per-skill compression lands in v2.0.0.0 (Phase B sections/ pattern on the 5 heavyweights). v1.45 is the foundation: eval-first infrastructure + cheap wins. scripts/proactive-suggestions.json regenerated with the latest 52 skills listed (one-time write per gen-skill-docs run; aggregated catalog parts). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * v1.45.0.0 — gstack v2 foundation: catalog tokens drop 56%, eval-first floor Bumps VERSION + package.json to 1.45.0.0. CHANGELOG entry covers what shipped between v1.44.1 and this release: the cathedral parity-eval foundation, conditional resolver injection plumbing, jargon dedup, terse build flag, catalog trim with one-line frontmatter descriptions, hard token + dollar budget gates with override audit, cso preservation pins, and the v1.44.1 ↔ v1.45.0.0 parity baselines committed to test/fixtures/. Numbers (measured, not estimated): - Catalog tokens: ~9,319 → ~4,045 (-56.6%) - Total corpus: 2,847 KB → 2,813 KB (-1.2%) - Skills with gate-tier eval coverage: 32/51 → 51/51 (floor achieved) This is the foundation release. v2.0.0.0 will ship the architectural break (sections/*.md.tmpl pattern + mechanical Read enforcement + eval-coverage annotations) as a coordinated marketing-grade launch. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(catalog): refresh proactive-suggestions.json timestamp after v1.45 bump The generated_at field updates on every gen-skill-docs run; this is the T7 atomic-regenerate output landed alongside the v1.45.0.0 bump. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(catalog): deterministic proactive-suggestions.json (no per-run timestamp) Original implementation wrote a generated_at timestamp on every gen-skill-docs run. That made CI dry-run freshness checks flap because the file changed on every regeneration even when the actual content (skill descriptions, routing prose, voice triggers) was unchanged. Two fixes: 1. Drop the generated_at field. The file is purely a content registry now. 2. Only write the file when serialized content actually differs from disk. Reproducible test: bun run gen:skill-docs twice in a row now leaves scripts/proactive-suggestions.json unchanged on the second run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(catalog): preserve routing prose when first sentence exceeds 200 chars splitCatalogDescription truncated the lead BEFORE computing routing extraction, which meant skills whose first sentence was over 200 chars (design-consultation: 207 chars) had their entire routing prose silently dropped — the "## When to invoke" body section came out empty. Root cause: routing was extracted via `collapsed.indexOf(lead)` after lead was suffixed with "...". The "..." never appeared in the original string, so indexOf returned -1 and routingProse fell back to empty. Fix: compute routing from sentenceLead (the untruncated first sentence) BEFORE truncating the displayed lead. The displayed lead still gets "..." when over 200 chars, but the routing extraction uses the real boundary. Also: refresh golden snapshots for claude/codex/factory ship and update two unit tests that asserted v1.44 behavior: - skill-validation.test.ts: trigger-phrase + proactive-routing tests now search whole content, not just frontmatter (T4 moved them to a body "## When to invoke" section) - writing-style-resolver.test.ts: jargon-list assertion now expects the T3 reference pointer, not the inline list Test plan: - bun test test/skill-validation.test.ts test/writing-style-resolver.test.ts test/host-config.test.ts test/skill-size-budget.test.ts test/parity-suite.test.ts test/skill-coverage-matrix.test.ts test/skill-coverage-floor.test.ts test/cso-preserved.test.ts test/resolver-entry.test.ts test/helpers/capture-parity-baseline.test.ts test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts: 1134 pass, 0 fail - Manual verify: design-consultation/SKILL.md "## When to invoke this skill" body section now contains "Use when asked to..." + "Proactively suggest..." Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(catalog): deterministic proactive-suggestions.json across machines CI check-freshness failed because scripts/proactive-suggestions.json serialized differently on local vs CI: 1. Root-skill key leaked the directory name. processTemplate's outer loop computed `dir = path.basename(path.dirname(tmplPath))`. For the root SKILL.md.tmpl at ROOT/SKILL.md.tmpl, that returns the repo-checkout directory name — "seville-v3" in a Conductor worktree, "gstack" on GitHub Actions, anything-else for a fork. Fix: detect root via `path.dirname(tmplPath) === ROOT` and hardcode the key to "gstack" for that one case. 2. Aggregate key order was filesystem-iteration order. discoverTemplates doesn't guarantee stable ordering across platforms, so the JSON `skills` object came out shuffled between machines. Fix: sort Object.keys(proactiveAggregate) alphabetically before serializing. After the fix, the generated file is identical on every machine and matches what's committed. CI freshness check (bun run gen:skill-docs && git diff --exit-code) now passes. Test plan: - bun run gen:skill-docs && bun run gen:skill-docs --dry-run: all FRESH - node -e 'verify keys sorted': sorted match: true - grep -c '"seville-v3"' scripts/proactive-suggestions.json: 0 - Focused test suite: 704 pass, 0 fail Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(catalog): unit + regression coverage for catalog-trim helpers Four exported functions in scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts handle every skill's frontmatter rewrite at gen time but had zero unit tests. Both real bugs we shipped (and fixed) on this branch lived in these functions: v1.45.0.0 design-consultation: when the first sentence exceeded 200 chars, routing-prose extraction lost the entire tail (anchored on truncated lead with "..." that didn't substring-match the original). v1.45.0.0 CI freshness: root-skill key leaked the checkout directory name ("seville-v3" vs "gstack") and aggregate order was filesystem- iteration order. Both shapes are now regression-tested: - splitCatalogDescription: 7 tests covering simple multi-line, >200-char first sentence (design-consultation regression), voice-trigger extraction, no-(gstack) handling, embedded periods (documents known fallback), no-period fragments, and idempotency. - buildTrimmedDescription: 3 tests. - buildWhenToInvokeSection: 3 tests. - applyCatalogTrim: 4 tests covering the standard rewrite, no-op for already-short descriptions, the YAML-collision newline fix, and the malformed-frontmatter null return. - proactive-suggestions.json determinism: 3 tests asserting sorted keys, root keyed as "gstack" (not the worktree directory), and no timestamp/generated_at field that would flap CI freshness. Test plan: - bun test test/catalog-trim.test.ts: 20 pass, 0 fail Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(coverage): fill three remaining v1.46.0.0 test gaps Three untested surfaces from the v1.46.0.0 work. All three would have caught real bugs we shipped (and fixed) on this branch. 1. test/helpers/budget-override.test.ts — 7 tests pin the audit-trail contract for EVALS_BUDGET_OVERRIDE_REASON and GSTACK_SIZE_BUDGET_OVERRIDE_REASON. Without this, the audit logger could silently drop events and overrides become invisible. Tests cover: required fields per JSONL line, CI provenance capture (CI/GITHUB_ACTIONS/branch/commit), local-runner defaults, append-only behavior, missing-directory recovery, and unwritable- path resilience (logs warning instead of throwing). 2. test/terse-build.test.ts — 16 tests pin --explain-level=terse behavior across the 4 gated resolvers and the composed preamble. Default vs terse vs undefined-ctx all asserted. Without this, a refactor that breaks the explainLevel threading silently regresses the opt-in compression path; the runtime EXPLAIN_LEVEL: terse gate still works so users wouldn't notice. Tier-1 invariant pinned (terse-only-affects-tier-2+). 3. test/gen-skill-docs-idempotency.test.ts — 2 tests catch the class of bug behind the v1.45.0.0 timestamp flap. Two consecutive gen-skill-docs runs must produce byte-identical outputs across STABLE_OUTPUTS (proactive-suggestions.json, SKILL.md, ship/SKILL.md, plan-ceo-review/SKILL.md, office-hours/SKILL.md, gstack/llms.txt). --dry-run reports zero stale files after a fresh gen. CI freshness regressions surface as test failures BEFORE a PR is opened. Test plan: - bun test test/helpers/budget-override.test.ts: 7 pass - bun test test/terse-build.test.ts: 16 pass - bun test test/gen-skill-docs-idempotency.test.ts: 2 pass - Full focused suite (15 test files): 1179 pass, 0 fail (+45 new tests vs the pre-fill baseline of 1134) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(coverage): close 5 remaining v1.46.0.0 test gaps (A-E) Five behaviors that v1.46 ships but had no test coverage. All now pinned. A) --host all idempotency (test/gen-skill-docs-idempotency.test.ts) The default test ran Claude host only. Non-Claude hosts (Codex, Factory, Cursor, OpenClaw, GBrain, Slate, OpenCode, Hermes, Kiro) each have their own output paths and could carry their own non-deterministic fields. We hit a "--host all needed for freshness check" mid-/ship. Now: two consecutive `bun run gen:skill-docs --host all` runs must produce byte-identical outputs across a per-host sample (.agents/, .cursor/, .factory/, .gbrain/). Catches per-host adapter regressions before CI. B) --catalog-mode=full opt-out (test/catalog-mode-full.test.ts) The legacy escape hatch had zero tests. 6 new tests across two layers: static (CATALOG_MODE_ARG parsed; conditional gate present; default is "trim"; invalid value throws) + smoke (actual --catalog-mode=full run produces a multi-line `description: |` block + omits "## When to invoke" body section; mutates the working tree then restores in a finally block). C) parity-baseline-v1.44.1.json integrity (test/parity-baseline-integrity.test.ts) The baseline is the source of every v1→v2 number cited in the CHANGELOG v1.46.0.0 entry. Anyone could edit it without test failure until now. 8 new tests pin: existence, tag, capturedFromCommit allowlist, expected v1.44 numbers (51 skills, ~2,915 KB, ~9,319 catalog tokens), CHANGELOG references this file by path, per-skill shape, and a SHA256 byte-stability hash. Any edit fails with a clear "if intentional, update EXPECTED_HASH AND the CHANGELOG numbers" signal. D) Live appliesTo gate end-to-end (test/resolver-entry.test.ts extended) The unwrapResolver unit tests covered the function; the gen-skill-docs.ts substitution loop that USES the gate had no integration coverage. 6 new tests simulate the exact 4-line shape from gen-skill-docs.ts:457-467 against synthetic registries: plain-function fires unconditionally, gated fires when true / empty-string when false, mixed registries compose, parameterized resolvers respect gates, unknown resolvers throw. E) Per-skill min-size floor (test/skill-size-budget.test.ts extended) The existing 200-byte body coverage-floor is a noise floor — a skill that lost 99.75% of content still passes. 1 new test asserts every skill stays ≥80% of its v1.44.1 baseline size (the parity-suite content invariants only covered 10 of 51 skills; the remaining 41 were uncovered). SECTIONS_EXTRACTED hook in place for v2.0.0.0 when the sections/ pattern legitimately shrinks ship/plan-ceo/etc. past the floor. Test plan: - bun test focused 17-file suite: 1202 pass, 0 fail (+23 new tests vs the pre-fill 1179 baseline) - catalog-mode=full mutates working tree then restores cleanly - --host all idempotency runs two full gen passes in <1s on this machine Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-05-26 16:50:03 -07:00
