* fix(plan-tune): reject never-ask on one-way ids at --write

--check already ignored those prefs; --write still stored them and
--stats counted them as a working NEVER_ASK. Refuse the write and
count leftover on-disk prefs as INERT_ONE_WAY.

* Fix: gstack-config get returns "" with exit 0 for keys that have no default

Skill preambles read configuration with

    VAR=$(gstack-config get <key> 2>/dev/null || echo "<default>")

and that fallback only fires on a non-zero exit. lookup_default ended in a
catch-all that echoed "" and returned 0, so for any key missing from the table
VAR came back empty and the default written right there in the preamble was
unreachable. The skill then branched on a value it never specified: "skip
entirely if QUESTION_TUNING is false", reached with QUESTION_TUNING="".

Four keys that skills actually read had no entry and took that path:

    question_tuning         -> callers assume "false"
    repo_mode               -> callers assume "unknown"
    team_mode               -> callers assume "false"
    transcript_ingest_mode  -> callers assume "off"

Each default above is the value the call sites already substitute in their own
`|| echo` fallback, so this only makes reachable what was already intended.

The catch-all now returns non-zero. That is deliberately scoped to the
unknown-key arm alone: keys whose default is intentionally empty still exit 0,
because "" is their real answer and their callers depend on it --
cross_project_learnings ("unset triggers the first-time prompt"),
redact_repo_visibility ("empty falls through to gh/glab detection"),
salience_allowlist, user_slug_at_*. Making every empty answer an error would
have broken those.

test/gstack-config-defaults.test.ts pins the class rather than the four
instances: it parses the case arms and asserts every `gstack-config get <key>`
site in the tree is covered, so adding a read without a default fails CI. It
also pins the exit-code contract in both directions. Verified failing against
the pre-fix script, where it names exactly those four keys.

* fix(redact): a typo'd subcommand no longer exits 0 having done nothing

main() recognised exactly two subcommands and let everything else fall through
to the stdin scan. On empty stdin that prints "(no findings)" and exits 0, so:

    $ gstack-redact install-prepush-hooks    # plural typo
    gstack-redact scan — repo UNKNOWN
      (no findings)
    $ echo $?
    0

No hook was installed, and the operator has every reason to believe the
credential guard is armed. A guard that silently no-ops must never exit 0.

Two smaller faults in the same dispatch, both of which lead people here:

- There was no --help handler, so `gstack-redact --help` fell through to the
  scanner. Piping a credential to it scanned the secret and exited 3.
- With no piped input and no --from-file, readInput() blocks on readSync(fd 0)
  until an EOF that an interactive terminal never sends. That prints nothing
  at all, so it reads as a hang rather than as "this is a filter, feed it".

Now: --help/-h/help prints usage and exits 0; an unrecognised positional
prints the offender and exits 1; a TTY with nothing piped in prints usage
instead of blocking. "scan" stays accepted, because the human output header
reads "gstack-redact scan — repo …" and that is what people type.

Usage errors exit 1, deliberately not 2 or 3. Those mean MEDIUM and HIGH
findings and callers gate dispatch on them, so a usage error exiting 2 would
be read as "medium findings — prompt the user". A test pins that.

Tests: 4 written failing first, then fixed. Full suite 7,722 pass / 0 fail.

* fix(browse): one ambiguous ref no longer kills the whole annotated screenshot

`snapshot -a` exits 1 with "Selector matched multiple elements" on most real
pages, so /qa, /canary and /land-and-deploy silently produce reports whose
screenshots do not exist. Plain `screenshot <path>` is unaffected.

Refs are built as getByRole(role, {name}) and disambiguated with .nth() when
role+name repeats. That disambiguation cannot fire for a node with NO accessible
name: the locator degrades to getByRole(role) with no name filter, and the count
driving .nth() is taken from the FILTERED aria snapshot while getByRole matches
the unfiltered DOM. Measured on a live page: the tree surfaced 2 unnamed
paragraphs, the DOM had 9. Landmarks (banner/main/contentinfo) and paragraphs are
correctly unnamed per ARIA, so this is the common case rather than an edge case.

boundingBox() then hits Playwright strict mode, and the catch allowlisted only
timeout/closed/Target/Execution-context messages — so the strict-mode error was
re-thrown and aborted every remaining annotation.

Two changes:

- `.first()` before boundingBox(), so an ambiguous ref draws a box on its first
  match instead of aborting. The heatmap path below has always tolerated this via
  a bare `catch {}`; annotate was the only path that could be killed outright.
- the catch no longer re-throws on unrecognised messages. A box we cannot measure
  is a box we do not draw, never a reason to lose the rest of the page. Set
  BROWSE_DEBUG to see what was skipped.

Also: `-o` passed without `-a`/`-H` was silently ignored (exit 0, no file), which
reads as "screenshots are broken" rather than "you forgot a flag". It now warns
and points at `browse screenshot <path>`.

Verified by rebuilding both ways against the same page with 51 refs present:
  before — "Selector matched multiple elements", no file written
  after  — exit 0, 229KB PNG

* fix(version-bump): missing or empty VERSION no longer repairs a fabricated 0.0.0.0 into package.json

repair now fails with exit 2 when the VERSION file is absent or empty
instead of folding to DEFAULT ("0.0.0.0") — which passed VERSION_RE and
regressed package.json below where it started. classify gains an additive
versionFileExists field so /ship can tell a real 0.0.0.0 from a fabricated
one. Re-derived from PR #2612 under the generated-file screening rule.

Fixes #2600 (repair half; the path-configurability half landed in v1.67 via #2531).

* fix(memory-ingest): --probe counts post-attribution, through the same gate --bulk uses

probeMode previously stat'd every walked file, so setup-gbrain gated its
silent bulk ingest on pre-filter counts that the write path would never
ingest (#2394). The attribution decision now lives in ONE shared gate
(sessionIsAttributable — cheap-parse: cwd extraction + memoized
resolveGitRemote, never a full page build) used by BOTH probeMode and
preparePages, so the two stages' post-attribution counts are structurally
identical. ProbeReport gains skipped_unattributed; the probe prints what it
excluded and --include-unattributed restores raw counts. The parity is
pinned at the prepare stage (probe post-attribution == transcripts reaching
import), deliberately NOT == final written.

Re-derived from PR #2612 under the generated-file screening rule; the
shared-gate design and the remote memo are additions from the plan review.

Fixes #2394.

* feat(browse): allow CPU and network throttling for performance measurement

Adds Emulation.setCPUThrottlingRate and Network.emulateNetworkConditions to
CDP_ALLOWLIST.

Motivation: diagnosing a real "uploads take 1-2 minutes" report, the only
machine available was a fast developer workstation. Client-side processing
measured 1.4s where the user experienced minutes, so the conclusion had to be
reached arithmetically rather than observed. Throttling would have let the
measurement reproduce the reporter's conditions directly.

Both fit the existing posture rather than widening it:
  - Emulation already allows setDeviceMetricsOverride, clearDeviceMetricsOverride
    and setUserAgentOverride, which are equally mutating and scoped to the tab.
  - Neither method reads page content. setCPUThrottlingRate affects only timing;
    emulateNetworkConditions constrains traffic rather than inspecting it, so no
    request bodies, headers or cookies are exposed. Both are output: 'trusted'
    because they return no page-derived data.

scope 'tab' for both, matching the surrounding Emulation entries.

* fix(session-update): lock pidfile records the live holder; hard TTL bounds every wedge (#2613)

echo $$ inside the backgrounded subshell recorded the PARENT hook's PID —
which exits immediately — so every subsequent session judged the lock stale
and rm -rf'd a LIVE holder's lock, letting concurrent updaters run over each
other. The pidfile now records ${BASHPID:-$(sh -c 'echo $PPID')} (macOS
bash 3.2 has no BASHPID; the sh child's PPID is exactly this subshell).

Staleness is now two independent detectors: PID liveness (as before, but
against the real holder), and a 30-minute hard TTL on the heartbeat mtime —
reclaimed regardless of kill -0, so a recycled PID or hung holder can't wedge
the lock forever. The holder touches the pidfile after the pull and after
setup, so a legitimately-slow run keeps itself alive. Empty and missing
pidfiles are respected inside the TTL window (the mkdir→echo race) and
reclaimed past it.

Fixes #2613.

* chore(browse): explicit windowsHide on every Bun.spawn site + census tripwire (#2575 residual)

Bun.spawn sites were structurally outside the windowsHide census (it swept
child_process bindings only). The runtime was already safe — native Bun hides
consoles by default and bun-polyfill.cjs defaults windowsHide !== false since
#2523/#2539 — but implicit defaults are exactly what regress silently. Every
Bun.spawn/spawnSync in browse/src now carries the explicit flag (harmless on
unix-only sites like Xvfb/xattr/open), and a second SWEEP in
windows-spawn-hide.test.ts fails CI on any new flagless Bun.spawn site.

* fix(gbrain): brain worktree advances on the daily sync — no more silently stale brains (#2516)

The daily pull refreshed only ~/.gstack itself, never the detached worktree
at ~/.gstack-brain-worktree that gbrain actually indexes — so after setup the
brain served stale pages forever unless setup-gbrain/sync-gbrain happened to
run. brain-sync --once now advances the worktree once per 24h behind an
ATTEMPT stamp (.brain-worktree-last-advance — a persistently-failing advance
warns once a day, not at every skill boundary), inside the existing run lock
and before any ingest step touches the worktree.

The new gstack-gbrain-source-wireup --advance-only is built for the
unattended cadence: git-only (no gbrain prereqs), pins every operation to the
managed worktree (refuses paths that are not worktrees of the artifacts
repo), refuses dirty worktrees, and never runs the force-remove recovery — a
cron path must not be able to delete local changes. A static pin keeps the
force-remove out. docs/gbrain-sync.md stops overclaiming the old cadence.

Fixes #2516.

* feat(memory-ingest): honor the per-remote deny/read-only trust policy (#2392)

Transcript ingest now respects the same trust store as code import — the gate
existed only in gstack-gbrain-sync's runCodeImport, so memory-ingest happily
ingested transcripts from deny-listed repos. preparePages filters prepared
transcript pages through ONE batch policy lookup (new 'get --batch' verb on
bin/gstack-gbrain-repo-policy — the script owns URL normalization; the client
adds repoPolicyTierBatch, one spawn for all distinct remotes, so large corpora
never pay a 10s-timeout subprocess per remote).

Outcomes match code-import semantics: read-only → clean skip
(skipped_policy_readonly), deny → counted refusal (skipped_policy_deny),
corrupted/unreadable store → HARD ERROR before any write (state, staging,
egress receipt, and import all untouched) with the recovery command named —
policy corruption must never read as successful ingestion. Artifacts are
never policy-filtered (their git_remote is a project slug, not a remote).

Fixes #2392.

* fix(config): repo_mode keeps its empty no-default semantics (#2611 follow-up)

The ported defaults table synthesized repo_mode → "unknown", but EMPTY is
load-bearing for that key: gstack-repo-mode treats any non-empty answer as a
user override and skips its own repo classification — the synthesized default
turned the classifier into dead code (REPO_MODE=unknown everywhere; caught by
test/gstack-repo-mode.test.ts via the wave's cross-agent blame protocol).
repo_mode joins the empty-is-real carve-outs (empty output, exit 0).

* fix(pair-agent): consent before killing a healthy headless daemon

The pair-agent headed switch spawned 'connect --force-restart'
unconditionally — auto-killing a live headless daemon (open tabs, cookies,
logins) in direct contradiction of the iron rule it sits beside ('only an
explicit --force-restart may kill a live daemon'). The CLI now captures
daemon liveness BEFORE ensureServer (which can itself boot a fresh daemon)
and relaunches only when the user passed --force-restart to pair-agent;
otherwise it prints the tab count and continues against the existing daemon.
The /pair-agent skill gains a matching one-way-door consent question
(template half rides the wave's template block).

* fix(gbrain-status): MCP scoping is per-project, and project-local beats user scope

hasRemoteOnlyGbrainMcp scanned EVERY project's mcpServers in ~/.claude.json,
so one project's remote gbrain registration reclassified broken local engines
as thin-client machine-wide. It now reads user scope plus only the cwd's
nearest-ancestor project key.

The precedence itself was verified empirically and hermetically (fake HOME +
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR fixtures, claude 2.1.233): with both scopes defining
gbrain, 'claude mcp get gbrain' reports Scope: Local config — PROJECT-LOCAL
WINS. Both in-repo consumers assumed the opposite; brain-cache's endpoint
resolution flips to nearest-ancestor-project-first, and the stale user-first
pin in brain-cache-roundtrip now pins the verified precedence. (The user-first
jq in the brain-sync preamble resolver gets the same swap in the template
block.)

* fix(slug): gstack-slug matches remote-slug's owner-repo canonical form (live misfile bug)

Found live during this wave's CEO review: bin/gstack-slug emitted
SLUG=garrytan for this garrytan/gstack worktree while remote-slug correctly
gave garrytan-gstack — decisions, timeline, ceo-plans, and learnings were
filing into the wrong project store (observed polluting Context Recovery with
another repo's decisions). Root cause: a stray empty ~/.git directory made
the walk-up crown $HOME as the outermost project root; the remote lookup ran
only against that root, failed silently, and the basename fallback cached
'garrytan' sticky. NOT worktree-specific — any strong marker on a non-repo
ancestor triggered it.

Fix: the walk now finds the outermost ancestor whose .git actually resolves
an origin remote and derives owner-repo with remote-slug's byte-identical
parse; marker-only ancestors keep anchoring the basename fallback but can no
longer shadow a real remote. A new cache self-heal recomputes the poisoned
shape (cached == basename of a marker root while a remote-bearing repo exists
below), preserving legit #2212 stickiness. Nested-repo walk-up, no-remote and
non-git fallbacks, and the SLUG=/BRANCH= eval contract are unchanged, pinned
by a 10-case parity suite. Store migration for pre-fix data is tracked in
TODOS.md.

* fix(brain-sync): per-record spool dir — the enqueue/drain race dies structurally

Producers appended lines to .brain-queue.jsonl while the drain re-read and
os.replace'd it; the in-code comment admitted a lockless append between the
re-read and the replace was lost. Locks and rename-rotation designs were both
reviewed and rejected (each retained a tail race); the shipped design is a
maildir-style spool: one FILE per record in .brain-queue.d/ (tmp + atomic
rename), the drain snapshots filenames, processes, and deletes exactly what
it snapshotted. Writer and drainer never share an inode — nothing to race.

Semantics: at-least-once (a crash between process and unlink re-drains;
downstream content-hash dedup absorbs duplicates); retained (privacy-held)
records keep their files; unparseable records are kept + warned, never
destroyed. Legacy .brain-queue.jsonl migrates atomically on the next drain
(crash-leftover .migrating files recovered too); status/drop-queue count both
surfaces; discover-new writes spool records and advances its cursor
per-record-written. The preamble's queue-depth line switches to spool count
in this wave's template block.

* fix(bin-context): native slug fallback walks up like bash gstack-slug

slugFromEnvironment derived the slug from the INNERMOST repo's origin while
bash gstack-slug walks to the outermost project root — nested/vendored repos
split their stores across the bash/native boundary (win32 hits the native
path constantly). The native fallback now ports _outermost_project_root
faithfully (strong/weak markers, outermost-strong-wins, 64-depth cap,
fixed-point termination) plus the full resolution order: env override →
walk-up → sticky cache with the #1125 self-heal → remote get-url → basename.
Twelve mirrored scenarios drive BOTH implementations against the same
fixtures and pin identical slugs.

* fix(next-version): git fallback queries the live remote, never mutates, and keeps 3-digit width

The degraded path counted every remote-tracking ref on every remote — stale
experiment branches and second remotes inflated version allocation, and a
failed base read flipped 3-digit repos to 4-digit slots. Now: ls-remote
--heads origin first (GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0, 5s timeout, zero local ref
mutation); on failure, local refs/remotes/origin ONLY with an explicit
stale-refs warning; a failed base read zeroes at the LOCAL version file's
width so a 3-digit repo allocates 0.0.1, not 0.0.1.0.

* fix(setup): hooks register the global-install path and re-point stale ones

Registering hooks from a dev worktree baked that worktree's absolute path
into settings.json — deleting the worktree left a dead hook erroring on
every session stop, and the presence-only dedup (list-sources | grep) could
never re-point it. setup's hook paths now route through _hook_install_path
(global install preferred, source dir fallback), and the new ensure-event
verb on gstack-settings-hook compares the registered command payload against
canonical: identical → no write, different → single atomic replacement
(never zero or two registrations). The plan-tune hooks had the same stale
pattern and get the same fix without re-triggering their consent prompt.

Also hardened: bun 1.3.13 turns an uncaught sync fs error in bun -e into a
SILENT exit 0 — the registrar's write path now catches, prints, and exits 1,
so a failed update can never report fake-green.

* fix(preamble): learnings capture is unconditional at completion (#2402)

43 of 44 learnings entries came from explicit /learn — the completion-status
prose read 'if you discovered a durable project quirk... log it', which
models treated as optional. The step now ALWAYS runs: review the session for
durable learnings, log each one, and state 'No durable learnings this
session' explicitly when the review comes up empty — an empty result, never
a skipped step. Re-derived from PR #2612 under the generated-file screening
rule.

* feat(scrape): untrusted-content warning on the page-fetching skills (#2441)

/scrape and /skillify consumed page content with zero injection guidance —
the CHANGELOG claimed coverage the skills didn't have. The warning now lives
in ONE exported const (UNTRUSTED_CONTENT_WARNING in resolvers/browse.ts),
embedded in the browse COMMAND_REFERENCE as before AND injected standalone
into both skills via the new {{UNTRUSTED_CONTENT_WARNING}} token — single
source, wording can never drift between surfaces. Re-derived from PR #2612
under the generated-file screening rule. (Structural isolation for
skillify-generated code is tracked as its own TODO.)

* fix(review): checklist paths resolve from the installed skill root (#2518)

/review Step 2 read .claude/skills/review/checklist.md — a path relative to
the TARGET repo, which only resolves in gstack's own checkout. Every
checklist/greptile-triage/TODOS-format reference (six across five templates —
two more than the issue named, same class) now uses the installed-root form
~/.claude/skills/gstack/review/... that the templates' other references
already use. The install-root class itself (non-default install dirs) is
#1882, deliberately its own PR.

* fix(pair-agent): one-way-door consent question before a daemon relaunch (template half)

The skill flow now checks daemon liveness before Step 4 and asks an explicit
one-way-door question (tabs/cookies/logins are lost) before passing
--force-restart — never proceeding on a vague reply. Pairs with the CLI-half
commit that stopped pair-agent auto-killing live daemons.

* docs(codex): resume does not amortize the ~21K session prelude (#2387)

Measured (#2387): every codex exec call pays Codex's session prelude, and a

never token savings. The skill now says so where the resume flow lives:
prefer one codex call per skill, batch questions into it.

* fix(upgrade): fast-forward first; reset --hard only behind a proved-safe gate (#2517)

/gstack-upgrade went straight to stash + reset --hard origin/main. Now it
tries git pull --ff-only --autostash first (the same policy session-update's
auto-upgrade uses). The destructive fallback runs unprompted ONLY when both
git status --porcelain AND git rev-list origin/main..HEAD are empty — a
clean tree with unpushed local commits is NOT safe, reset destroys them.
Anything else requires an explicit one-way-door confirmation that lists every
dirty file and unpushed commit being discarded.

Two resolver halves deferred from earlier wave commits: the queue-depth line

nearest-ancestor-project-first — matching the empirically verified Claude
Code precedence (project-local beats user scope) instead of the backwards
user-first assumption.

The v1.67 adversarial-review residuals section shrinks to the one item the

entries: skillify structural isolation (a prose warning is not a boundary for
page-derived generated code) and the slug store migration (pre-fix sessions
on stray-marker machines filed data under the degraded slug; post-fix reads
go to the correct store, so history needs a merge/alias).

Three suites pinned pre-wave behavior: browse's gstack-config test asserted
the old unknown-key ''/exit-0 shape (#2611 made it exit 1); the Windows-paths
suite pinned O_APPEND enqueue atomicity (the spool design satisfies the same
invariant via tmp + os.replace, one file per record — pinned in its new
form); and nine carve-guard skeleton ceilings absorbed the #2402
unconditional-learnings prose (~450B per skill), bumped with measured values

future template edit reverting to reset-first would fail nothing. Pinned:
the ordering, the FF_OK gate, and the unpushed-commits check. Also pinned

scrape/skillify (#2441) and brain-uninstall's spool-dir cleanup.

* fix: pre-landing review round — 8 auto-fixes + 8 accepted findings hardened

The ship review army (4 specialists + red-team + checklist, 29 findings)
produced 8 mechanical auto-fixes and 11 decisions; the accepted set:

- win32 slug parity completed: lib/bin-context.ts gains the remote-first
  outermost walk + degraded-cache self-heal the bash side got this wave —
  the two implementations now agree on the stray-marker live-bug shape,
  pinned by shared fixtures (multi-specialist 9/10 finding).
- probe honors the plan's bounded-read decision: 256KB prefix, extraction
  semantics mirrored from parseTranscriptJsonl so probe/prepare can never
  diverge on the same file (>1MB transcript test).
- policy normalize parity: bash normalize() now matches canonicalizeRemote
  on .git/-trailing and uppercase-.GIT shapes (7-shape corpus pinned two
  ways) — a deny for those shapes could previously slip the transcript gate.
- session-update reclaim is TOCTOU-safe (atomic mv-aside on both branches).
- settings-hook: unparseable settings.json errors instead of being replaced
  with {}; ensure-event keys on (event, source) so matcher changes update
  in place — never zero or two registrations.
- dot-only slug guard at both parse sites (hostile 'url = ..' can't escape
  projects/); enqueue tmp-file janitor (1h TTL, inside the drain lock);
  brain-sync .migrating never clobbered; drop-queue/status count .migrating;
  snapshot -o warning correct + surfaced in diff mode; version-bump test
  order-dependence removed; uninstall clears the advance stamp.

Deferred with record: slug heal-probe cost sentinel (P3 TODO), FF_OK
conflation (noted, misdiagnosis-only).

270 pass / 0 fail across the 10 touched suites.

* fix: adversarial round — the P0 finalize fail-safe and 12 hardened findings

Three adversarial passes (Claude fresh-context, Codex chaos, Codex structured
with P1 gate) on the full wave diff. Multi-source findings, all fixed:

- P0: finalize_queue is now explicit-delete-only — a record is unlinked ONLY
  when classification proves it staged or dropped; a classifier crash, a
  missing class file, or a malformed pulled .brain-privacy-map.json (which
  previously nuked the whole snapshotted queue, remotely triggerable) now
  retains everything, warns, and re-drains next run. load_privacy_map treats
  corrupt maps as retain-all, never as empty.
- next-version cannot silently drop a live claim: unreadable advertised refs
  get a targeted --depth=1 fetch + retry; still-unreadable claims surface as
  UNKNOWN warnings instead of duplicate-version silence.
- session-update lock: ownership-checked EXIT trap (a TTL-reclaimed holder
  can no longer delete the new holder's lock) + a 5-min background heartbeat
  so a legitimately-slow pull/setup is never reclaimed while alive.
- ensure-event collapses ALL same-(event,source) duplicates to one canonical

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md docs + goldens (Windows-separator jq fix)

Pure generator output for the brain-sync block's jq ancestor match now
accepting backslash-formed Windows project keys — previously project-scoped
brains were invisible on Windows while the TS scope resolvers saw them.
Golden ship fixtures refreshed per the documented procedure.

* fix: codex verify-pass residuals — chunked cwd read, post-filter partial count, migrating depth

The verify re-review passed the P1 gate (0 P1s) and left three residuals,
all applied: transcriptCwdFromPrefix reads in chunks until one complete
record (4MB cap) so a giant first prompt can't truncate mid-JSON and break
probe/bulk parity; partial_pages derives from the FINAL prepared set instead
of the whole scanned corpus; the preamble queue-depth line counts leftover
.brain-queue.jsonl.migrating records like the status path does (regen + goldens included).

BROWSER.md: fix the $B cdp example (positional JSON params, not --json;
depth is the real CDP param) and add the new perf-throttling examples
(Emulation.setCPUThrottlingRate, Network.emulateNetworkConditions) with
their clear-override counterparts. USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK.md: the
state-files table row for the sync queue now names the maildir-style
spool dir .brain-queue.d/ that replaced .brain-queue.jsonl this release.

* test: align memory-pipeline probe pins with the #2394 stage-count contract

The paid-tier E2E pinned the pre-fix contract (probe headline = raw
discovered). Probe now counts post-attribution — the same gate --bulk
uses — with an explicit unattributed-skip line. Adds the
--include-unattributed companion pin so all 9 fixtures stay accounted for.

* fix(next-version): batch missing-tip fetches — one bounded round trip, never a per-branch crawl

The targeted-fetch retry for branches whose advertised tip has no local
object ran ONE git fetch per branch (10s cap each). On a shallow clone
against a busy remote that crawls the network for minutes — CI's shard
deadline killed the free suite mid-file. Missing tips now collect into a
single batched shallow fetch (15s cap); refs still missing after the
batch (one unservable ref fails the whole transfer) get a capped
per-branch retry, and anything past the cap warns as an UNKNOWN claim
instead of fetching.

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

* test(next-version): pin the batched fetch + make the offline-contract tests hermetic

Two new G2 pins: N unfetched claim branches resolve with exactly ONE
fetch spawn (PATH-shimmed git counts invocations), and one unservable
ref no longer poisons the batch — live claims resolve via the bounded
retry while only the ghost warns UNKNOWN.

The #2545 offline-contract tests now run the CLI in a local fixture repo
instead of the repo's own checkout: the checkout path did a live
ls-remote against the real origin (operator-network-dependent, and the
CI shard-deadline hang). The online-contract test gains a succeeding gh
stub, so fallback:null is asserted deterministically instead of only
when the operator happens to be authed.

* test(redact-cli): derive the synthetic AWS-key fixture — no contiguous credential literal in source

The CI quality gate scans every ADDED diff line with the redact engine,
so the #2610 port's raw fixture literals failed the very gate they
exist to test. The fixture is now assembled at runtime; the scanner
still receives the identical bytes.

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

* test(next-version): pin the fixture's host via origin-URL sniff — kills the last environment dependence

The hermetic offline-contract fixture had no origin remote, so
detectHost() fell through to auth probes: a machine with glab authed
passed via the gitlab path while a bare CI runner read host:unknown
(offline stays false there) and failed. The fixture now pushes to a
local bare origin at a path containing github.com — the URL sniff pins
host:github identically everywhere, asserted explicitly in both tests,
with every git call still local.

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).

dedicated team-init fix).

* 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.

* 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).

* 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.

* 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).

* 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.

* feat(redact): block Google OAuth client secrets and Telegram bot tokens at HIGH

* 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".

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.)

* 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),

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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).

* 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.

* 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

* 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. Every browse call then exited 4 with empty stderr, which
make-pdf surfaced as "Chromium failed to launch" against a perfectly
healthy Chromium (#2156). Guard isExecutable with statSync().isFile()

* fix(make-pdf): write browse-bound temp files under the safe-dirs allowlist

os.tmpdir() on macOS resolves to /var/folders/..., which fails browse's
safe-dirs validation ([/tmp, cwd]) since the v1.6.0.0 --from-file
tightening. 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.
Export PAYLOAD_TMP_DIR from browseClient (the existing TEMP_DIR
convention: os.tmpdir() on Windows, /tmp elsewhere) and route
orchestrator.ts and setup.ts temp files through it.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* fix(memory-ingest): stop silently ingesting 0 pages — include gitignored staging, reconcile counts

Pages stage into ~/.gstack/.staging-ingest-*/ inside a repo whose .gitignore
is `*`, and gbrain import honours .gitignore — so it collected 0 files,
imported nothing, and the ingest still reported "written: N" from the STAGED
count while advancing state, meaning no future run ever retried. Three
layers now: (1) pass --include-gitignored (root cause); (2) if the installed

* fix(autoplan): task aggregator returned zero tasks on every run — jq scope bug

Inside ($commits | split("|") | ...) the "." context is the split ARRAY, so
the filter's bare .commit raised "Cannot index array with string" on every
record — and the 2>/dev/null swallowed it, so aggregation silently produced
zero tasks no matter how many the reviews emitted. Bind .commit to $c before
the pipe. Reproduced live before the fix; regenerated autoplan/SKILL.md.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

Branch-name sanitization disagreed across gstack (four incompatible rules),

* fix(slug): resolve the project root by marker walk-up — subdirectory sessions stop misfiling state

gstack-slug derived everything from pwd, so a session in a subdirectory got
the subdir's basename as its slug (or an outer monorepo's remote), misfiling
reviews/decisions/learnings under a phantom project — and the per-pwd cache
made the wrong answer permanent. 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. The cache self-heals on
mismatch. Main-side invariants preserved on top: the unconditional
[a-zA-Z0-9._-] re-sanitize before echo and slash→dash branch canonicalization.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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. Cross-checked against PRs #2433, #2410 and #2198: all three
cover subsets of these sites; nothing they fix is missing here.

Distinct from the lib/-beside-bin/ defect: gstack-telemetry-sync,
gstack-update-check, gstack-security-dashboard and
gstack-community-dashboard all source $GSTACK_DIR/supabase/config.sh to
resolve GSTACK_SUPABASE_URL, where GSTACK_DIR is the installed root
(parent of bin/). The [ -f ... ] guard means a root without the file
degrades SILENTLY — telemetry and update checks just stop resolving the
project URL on non-Claude installs. Closes #2215.

setup now links supabase/config.sh (file-level on purpose — migrations/
and functions/ are dev-only) via _link_or_copy at all five host-install
sites: the PR's four (Codex, Factory, OpenCode runtime roots + the Kiro
block) plus the .agents sidecar, whose bin/ resolves the same relative
path and which the PR predates covering.

The runtime-root test now asserts supabase/config.sh is present in
every built root, on both the symlink and Windows-copy branches.

* 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.

* fix(mktemp): move the X-run to the end of every temp-file template (BSD/busybox safe)

BSD mktemp (macOS) does not substitute an X-run that has a suffix after it:
`mktemp "$TMP_ROOT/codex-err-XXXXXX.txt"` creates a LITERAL
codex-err-XXXXXX.txt on the first call (exit 0) and every later call fails
with `mkstemp failed: File exists` — so /codex breaks from the SECOND run on
every Mac, masquerading as a model stall. busybox mktemp (Alpine) rejects the
template on the first run. 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

* 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

golden is refreshed from the regenerated output. Generated SKILL.md files

* fix(review,ship): run the codex diff passes under the timeout wrapper (#1036)

The `_gstack_codex_timeout_wrapper` added in #1056 was wired into
codex/SKILL.md but never into the /review and /ship diff passes, which kept
running under a bare 5-minute Bash gate. 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.

* 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,

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. Generated SKILL.md regenerated via
gen:skill-docs in this commit.

* 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.

gstack-artifacts-init unconditionally rewrote the push remote to SSH and
hard-failed setup for users whose gh/glab auth is HTTPS-only. Now:

- provider-created remotes follow `gh config get git_protocol` /

- 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 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.

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

* 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.

error_class (500/100 chars). The completion-status resolver now also passes
--error-message/--failed-step in the generated skill telemetry block, with

Cached identity now wins, with one precise exception: when the cached value
