* feat: Completeness Principle — Boil the Lake (WIP, pre-merge)
Add Completeness Principle to all skill preambles, dual-time estimates,
compression table, anti-pattern gallery, Lake Score, and completeness
gaps review category. VERSION/CHANGELOG will be rebased after merge.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: update stale version reference in TODOS.md (v0.5.3 → v0.6.1)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: update CHANGELOG date + README for v0.6.1 features
- Add date to CHANGELOG 0.6.1 entry
- Add Completeness Principle to README intro
- Add SELECTIVE EXPANSION mode to CEO review section
- Add test bootstrap mention to /ship section
- Fix uninstall command missing design-consultation in project uninstall
- Add "recommends shortcuts" and "no tests" to Without gstack list
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: split README into lean intro + docs/ directory (gh CLI pattern)
README: 875 → 243 lines. Keeps intro, skill table, demo, install, and
troubleshooting. All per-skill deep dives, Greptile integration guide,
and contributor mode docs moved to docs/ directory.
- docs/skills.md — full philosophy and examples for all 13 skills
- docs/greptile.md — Greptile setup and triage workflow
- docs/contributor-mode.md — how to enable and use contributor mode
- README now links to docs/ via Documentation table
- Updated skill table entries with latest features (fix-first, regression
tests, test health, completeness gaps)
- Updated demo transcript with AUTO-FIXED, coverage audit, regression test

* docs: remove "competitor" language, rewrite README in Garry's voice
Replace "browses competitors" with "knows the landscape" / "what's out
there" throughout all user-facing copy. Trim README from 243 to 167
lines — tighter, more opinionated, less listicle energy. Remove
Completeness Principle from README top (it lives in CLAUDE.md and the
skill preambles where Claude actually reads it).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: rewrite README in Garry's raw voice — AGI era, L8 factory, real stories
The README now sounds like Garry, not a product page. Leads with the
live experiment, the 16k LOC/day reality, the real-life coding stories
(Austin, hospital bedside). Highlights the newest unlocks (design at
the heart, /qa parallelism, smart review routing, test bootstrap).
Closes with an open invitation — free MIT, fork it, let's all ride
the wave together.

Same person, different era. 2013: 772 contributions building Bookface.
2026: 1,237 contributions and accelerating. The difference is the tooling.

* docs: move /ship to end of demo — review → QA → ship is the real flow
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add /plan-design-review to demo, tighten CEO response
Shorter CEO reply, compressed eng diagram, added design audit with
AI Slop score. Seven commands now: plan → eng → build → design →
review → QA → ship.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: remove URL from /plan-design-review in demo
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add [...] annotations showing what actually happens at each step
Each step now shows what the agent does under the hood: 8 expansion
proposals cherry-picked, 80-item design audit, ASCII diagrams for
every flow, 2400 lines written in 8 minutes, real browser QA, bug
found and fixed. Makes the demo feel real, not abstract.

When the global gstack is already up to date, standalone /gstack-upgrade
now checks if the local vendored copy in the current project is at a
different version and syncs it automatically. Also adds rollback on
setup failure and update-check fallback matching the preamble pattern.
Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: test bootstrap, regression tests, coverage audit, retro test health
- Add {{TEST_BOOTSTRAP}} resolver to gen-skill-docs.ts
- Add Phase 8e.5 regression test generation to /qa and /qa-design-review
- Add Step 3.4 test coverage audit with quality scoring to /ship
- Add test health tracking to /retro
- Add 2 E2E evals (bootstrap + coverage audit)
- Add 26 validation tests
- Update ARCHITECTURE.md placeholder table
- Add 2 P3 TODOs (CI/CD non-GitHub, auto-upgrade weak tests)
* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.6.0)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: make coverage audit trace actual codepaths, not just syntax patterns
Step 3.4 now instructs Claude to read full files, trace data flow through
every branch, diagram the execution, and check each branch against tests.
Phase 8e.5 regression tests now trace the bug's codepath before writing
the test, catching adjacent edge cases.
* feat: coverage audit now maps user flows, interactions, and error states
Step 3.4 now covers the full picture: code branches AND user-facing behavior.
Maps user flows (complete journey through the feature), interaction edge cases
(double-click, back button, stale state, slow connection), error states
(what does the user actually see?), and boundary states (zero results,
10k results, max-length input). Coverage diagram splits into Code Path
Coverage and User Flow Coverage sections with separate percentages.
* fix: raise test gen cap to 20, add validation tests for user flow coverage
- Raise Step 3.4 test generation cap from 10 to 20 (code + user flow combined)
- Add 3 validation tests: codepath tracing, user flow mapping, diagram sections

Remove SMALL/BIG CHANGE menu from /plan-eng-review — every plan gets the
full interactive review. Scope reduction is now proactive (only when
complexity check triggers) rather than a menu item.
Add review gate override persistence to /ship — when the user says "ship
anyway" or "not relevant", that decision is saved to the branch's
reviews.jsonl so subsequent /ship runs don't re-ask.
Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: SELECTIVE EXPANSION mode + user control for CEO review
Add 4th mode to /plan-ceo-review: SELECTIVE EXPANSION holds current scope
as baseline but surfaces expansion opportunities one by one for cherry-picking.
All modes now present every scope-expanding idea as individual AskUserQuestion
calls — user opts in or out of each one. EXPANSION recommends enthusiastically,
SELECTIVE recommends neutrally. CEO plan persistence writes decisions to disk.
* feat: review dashboard — eng required, CEO/design optional
Only Eng Review gates shipping. CEO Review recommended for big product
changes, Design Review for UI work — both informational only. Adds
skip_eng_review global config to disable the gate entirely.

* feat: /design-consultation — risk-taking thesis, visual research, ambitious preview
Add SAFE/RISK breakdown to design proposals so users see which choices
match category conventions vs. which are deliberate creative departures.
Wire browse binary for visual competitive research — agent browses
competitor sites, takes screenshots, and analyzes fonts/colors/spacing
with graceful degradation to WebSearch-only or built-in knowledge.
Upgrade preview page instructions to render realistic product mockups
(dashboards, marketing pages, settings forms) instead of just swatches.
Rewrite README section with the thesis: "coherence is table stakes —
the real question is where you take risks."

* feat: add bin/gstack-slug helper + migrate all inline SLUG computation
Extract the opaque SLUG sed pipeline into a shared 5-line shell script.
Replace 8 inline copies across templates with eval $(gstack-slug).
Sanitizes branch names (/ → -) to prevent subdirectory creation.
* feat: review readiness dashboard — track CEO/Eng/Design reviews per branch
Each review skill logs its result to JSONL. A shared {{REVIEW_DASHBOARD}}
placeholder displays run counts, timestamps, and a CLEARED TO SHIP verdict.
/ship pre-flight reads the dashboard and prompts when reviews are missing.

Validates dual-mode structure (Startup/Builder), all six forcing questions,
builder brainstorming content, intrapreneurship adaptation, YC apply CTA,
and operating principles for both modes. 192 tests total, all passing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Rewrite /office-hours with two modes:
Startup mode: six forcing questions (Demand Reality, Status Quo, Desperate
Specificity, Narrowest Wedge, Observation & Surprise, Future-Fit) that push
founders toward radical honesty about demand, users, and product decisions.
Includes smart routing by product stage, intrapreneurship adaptation, and
YC apply CTA for strong-signal founders.
Builder mode: generative brainstorming for side projects, hackathons,
learning, and open source. Enthusiastic collaborator tone, design thinking
questions, no business interrogation.
Mode is determined by an explicit question in Phase 1 — no guessing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Update CHANGELOG, CLAUDE.md, TODOS, design-consultation, plan-ceo-review,

Merge brings in design review skills (plan-design-review, qa-design-review,
design-consultation), fix-first review mode (v0.4.5), and browse JS/click
fixes. Conflicts resolved in VERSION (keep 0.6.0), CHANGELOG (keep all
entries), TODOS (update design review to shipped), and test arrays (combine
all skill registrations). Regenerated all SKILL.md files so design skills
get the improved preamble (ELI16, escalation protocol, branch detection).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add {{DESIGN_METHODOLOGY}} resolver and register design review skills
Add generateDesignMethodology() to gen-skill-docs.ts with 10-category, 80-item
design audit checklist. Register plan-design-review and qa-design-review templates
in findTemplates(). Add both skills to skill-check.ts SKILL_FILES. Add command
and snapshot flag validation tests for both skills in skill-validation.test.ts.
* feat: add /plan-design-review and /qa-design-review skills
/plan-design-review: report-only designer audit with letter grades, AI slop
scoring, structured first impression, design system extraction, DESIGN.md
inference and export offer. Never modifies code.
/qa-design-review: same audit, then iterative fix loop with style(design):
commits, CSS-safe WTF heuristic, before/after screenshots, final re-audit.
* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.5.0)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: update README, ARCHITECTURE for design review skills (v0.5.0)
- Update skill count to 11, add /plan-design-review and /qa-design-review
to skill table, install/uninstall commands, and demo walkthrough
- Add narrative sections: "senior designer mode" and "designer who codes mode"
with compelling examples showing AI Slop detection and design system inference
- Add {{DESIGN_METHODOLOGY}} to ARCHITECTURE.md placeholder table
- Extend demo to show full plan→eng→review→ship→qa→design-review pipeline

Picks up BASE_BRANCH_DETECT resolver and updated contributor mode from main.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add /design-consultation skill — design consultant that creates DESIGN.md
6-phase consultant flow: product context → competitive research (WebSearch) →
complete coherent proposal → drill-downs on demand → font+color preview page →
write DESIGN.md + update CLAUDE.md. Opinionated recommendations grounded in
product context, not menu-driven forms.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: add E2E tests for design skill family (7 tests + LLM quality judge)
Tests 1-4: /design-consultation (core flow, research integration, existing
DESIGN.md handling, font+color preview generation).
Tests 5-6: /plan-design-review (audit report, DESIGN.md export).
Test 7: /qa-design-review (audit + fix loop).
LLM judge validates font blacklist compliance, coherence, and AI slop avoidance.
Also adds plan-design-review + qa-design-review to ALL_SKILLS test array.

* feat: Fix-First Review — auto-fix obvious issues, ask about hard ones
Replace the CRITICAL-only AskUserQuestion flow with Fix-First:
- Every finding gets action (not just critical ones)
- AUTO-FIX items (dead code, N+1, stale comments) applied directly
- ASK items (security, race conditions, design decisions) batched
into at most one AskUserQuestion
- Fix-First Heuristic in checklist.md (single source of truth)
- Gate Classification → Severity Classification rename

* fix: js statement wrapping + click auto-routes option to selectOption
Bug 1: js command wrapped all code as expressions — const, semicolons,
and multi-line code broke with SyntaxError. Added needsBlockWrapper()
and wrapForEvaluate() helpers (shared with eval) to detect statements
and use block wrapper {…} instead of expression wrapper (…).
Bug 2: clicking <option> refs hung forever because Playwright can't
.click() native select UI. Click handler now checks ARIA role + DOM
tagName and auto-routes to selectOption() via parent <select>.
Bug 3: click timeouts on <option> elements gave no guidance. Now
throws helpful error: "Use browse select instead of click."

UP_TO_DATE cache now expires after 60 min (was 720 min / 12 hours).
UPGRADE_AVAILABLE keeps 720 min TTL to keep nagging.
--force flag deletes cache before checking, used by /gstack-upgrade

* docs: update project documentation for v0.4.2
- README: skill count 9→10, added /document-release to skills table,
install/uninstall sections, and dedicated section with example
- CHANGELOG: added /document-release bullet to v0.4.2 entry
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add /document-release skill with smart VERSION handling
New skill runs after /ship but before PR merge. Reads every doc file,
cross-references the diff, auto-updates factual changes, asks about
risky edits. CHANGELOG clobber protection: never uses Write tool on
CHANGELOG.md, only Edit with exact old_string matches.
Smart VERSION logic: instead of silently skipping already-bumped
versions, compares CHANGELOG entry scope against full diff and asks
if significant uncovered changes exist.
Also fixes gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md missing from skill-check.ts
SKILL_FILES array (existing inconsistency with gen-skill-docs.ts).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: /review Step 5.6 — documentation staleness check
Review skill now cross-references code changes against doc files.
If a doc describes a feature that changed but the doc wasn't updated,
flags it as INFORMATIONAL with a pointer to /document-release.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: /document-release E2E with CHANGELOG clobber guard
E2E test creates a repo with existing CHANGELOG entries, runs
/document-release, and asserts original entries survive. Critical
guardrail against the incident where an agent replaced CHANGELOG
entries during conflict resolution.

* feat: support await in $B js and eval commands
Auto-wrap await expressions in async IIFE context so
$B js "await fetch(...)" works without SyntaxError.
- hasAwait() strips comments before detection
- js: expression wrapping (async()=>(expr))()
- eval: smart wrapping — single-line=expression, multi-line=block
- 6 new unit tests covering async, false-positive, and return semantics
* feat: redesign contributor mode — periodic reflection with 0-10 rating
Replace passive "report when things break" with active reflection:
- Rate gstack experience 0-10 at workflow step boundaries
- Historical calibration example (await bug) anchors the reporting bar
- "What would make this a 10" field focuses on actionable improvements
- Removed category lists in favor of judgment-based assessment
* test: add deterministic contributor mode preamble validation
40 new skill-validation tests (4 checks × 10 skills) verify:
- 0-10 rating scale present
- Calibration example present
- "What would make this a 10" field present
- Periodic reflection (not per-command)
Update existing E2E contributor eval for new report format.
* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.4.2)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: improve contributor mode + qa-quick E2E reliability
Contributor mode:
- Add "do not truncate" directive to template — agent was stopping
after "My rating" without completing Steps/Raw output/What would
make this a 10 sections
- Restore assertions for Steps to reproduce and Date footer
QA quick:
- Make test server URL prominent: top of prompt, explicit "already
running" and "do NOT discover ports" instructions
- Bump session timeout 180s→240s and test timeout 240s→300s
- Set B= at top of prompt (was buried in prose)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: use flexible assertions for contributor mode E2E
Agent writes thorough reports with creative section names
("Repro Steps" vs "Steps to reproduce"). Match intent not formatting:
- /repro|steps to reproduce/ for reproduction steps
- /date.*2026/ for date footer presence
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add E2E eval failure blame protocol
"Not related to our changes" is an extraordinary claim that requires
extraordinary proof. When evals fail during /ship:
1. Run the same eval on main — prove it fails there too
2. If it passes on main, it IS your change — trace the blame
3. If you can't verify, say "unverified" not "pre-existing"
Added to CLAUDE.md and as a comment in skill-e2e.test.ts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: update CONTRIBUTING.md and BROWSER.md for v0.4.2
CONTRIBUTING.md: update contributor mode description — now describes
periodic 0-10 reflection loop instead of passive friction detection.
BROWSER.md: add js/eval async documentation — await expressions are
auto-wrapped in async context, single-line eval returns values directly.

* feat: add {{BASE_BRANCH_DETECT}} resolver to gen-skill-docs
DRY placeholder for dynamic base branch detection across PR-targeting
skills. Detects via gh pr view (existing PR base) → gh repo view
(repo default) → fallback to main.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: ship skill detects base branch instead of hardcoding main
Replaces ~14 hardcoded 'main' references with dynamic detection via
{{BASE_BRANCH_DETECT}}. Fixes stacked branches and Conductor workspaces
targeting non-main branches. Adds --base <base> to gh pr create.

* fix: retro detects default branch instead of hardcoding origin/main
Retro queries commit history (not PR targets), so uses simpler detection:
gh repo view defaultBranchRef. Replaces ~11 origin/main refs with
origin/<default>.

* test: add 3 E2E smoke tests for base branch detection
- /review: verifies Step 0 detection + git diff against detected base
- /ship: truncated dry-run (Steps 0-1 only, no push/PR), asserts no
destructive actions
- /retro: verifies default branch detection for git log queries
Covers the {{BASE_BRANCH_DETECT}} resolver path (review), the ship
template's dual abort check, and retro's inline detection pattern.

Step 0 now checks ~/.gstack/projects/ for /brainstorm design docs
(branch-filtered with fallback, reads Supersedes: for revision context).
Fix: branch names with '/' (e.g. garrytan/better-process) now get
sanitized via tr '/' '-' in test plan artifact filenames.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Step 0C-bis: Every plan must consider 2-3 approaches (minimal viable vs ideal
architecture) before mode selection. RECOMMENDATION required.
Pre-Review System Audit now checks ~/.gstack/projects/ for /brainstorm design
docs (branch-filtered with fallback).

Step 1.5: Before reviewing code quality, check if the diff matches stated
intent. Flags scope creep and missing requirements (INFORMATIONAL).
Step 5 addition: Every review claim must cite evidence — "this pattern is
safe" needs a line reference, "tests cover this" needs a test name.

Before pushing, re-verify tests if code changed during review fixes.
Rationalization prevention: "Should work now" → RUN IT.
"I'm confident" → Confidence is not evidence.

Every skill now reports completion status (DONE, DONE_WITH_CONCERNS, BLOCKED,
NEEDS_CONTEXT) and has escalation rules: 3 failed attempts → STOP, security
uncertainty → STOP, scope exceeds verification → STOP.
"It is always OK to stop and say 'this is too hard for me.'"

* feat: add Enum & Value Completeness to /review critical checklist
New CRITICAL review category that traces new enum values, status strings,
and type constants through every consumer outside the diff. Catches the
class of bugs where a new value is added but not handled in all switch/case
chains, allowlists, or frontend-backend contracts.

* chore: bump v0.4.1, user-facing changelog, update qa-only template and architecture docs
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add CHANGELOG style guide — user-facing, sell the feature
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: rewrite v0.4.1 changelog to be user-facing and sell the features
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add evals for RECOMMENDATION format, session awareness, and enum completeness
Free tests (Tier 1): RECOMMENDATION format + session awareness in all
preamble SKILL.md files, enum completeness checklist structure and CRITICAL
classification.
E2E eval: /review catches missed enum handlers when a new status value
is added but not handled in case/switch and notify methods.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add E2E eval for session awareness ELI16 mode
Stubs _SESSIONS=4, gives agent a decision point on feature/add-payments
branch, verifies the output re-grounds the user with project, branch,
context, and RECOMMENDATION — the ELI16 mode behavior for 3+ sessions.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: contributor mode eval marked FAIL due to expected browse error
The test intentionally runs a nonexistent binary to trigger contributor
mode. The session runner's browse error detection catches "no such file
or directory...browse" and sets browseErrors, causing recordE2E to mark
passed=false. Override passed to check only exitReason since the browse
error is the expected scenario.

* feat: browser ref staleness detection via async count() validation
resolveRef() now checks element count to detect stale refs after page
mutations (e.g. SPA navigation). RefEntry stores role+name metadata
for better diagnostics. 3 new snapshot tests for staleness detection.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: qa-only skill, qa fix loop, plan-to-QA artifact flow
Add /qa-only (report-only, Edit tool blocked), restructure /qa with
find-fix-verify cycle, add {{QA_METHODOLOGY}} DRY placeholder for
shared methodology. /plan-eng-review now writes test-plan artifacts
to ~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/ for QA consumption.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: eval efficiency metrics — turns, duration, commentary across all surfaces
Add generateCommentary() for natural-language delta interpretation,
per-test turns/duration in comparison and summary output, judgePassed
unit tests, 3 new E2E tests (qa-only, qa fix loop, plan artifact).

* fix: log non-ENOENT errors in ensureStateDir() instead of silently swallowing
Replace bare catch {} with ENOENT-only silence. Non-ENOENT errors (EACCES,
ENOSPC) are now logged to .gstack/browse-server.log. Includes test for
permission-denied scenario with chmod 444.
* feat: merge TODO.md + TODOS.md into unified backlog with shared format reference
Merge TODO.md (roadmap) and TODOS.md (near-term) into one file organized by
skill/component with P0-P4 priority ordering and Completed section. Add shared
review/TODOS-format.md for canonical format. Add static validation tests.
* feat: add 2-tier Greptile reply system with escalation detection
Add reply templates (Tier 1 friendly, Tier 2 firm), explicit escalation
detection algorithm, and severity re-ranking guidance to greptile-triage.md.
* feat: cross-skill TODOS awareness + Greptile template refs in all skills
/ship Step 5.5: auto-detect completed TODOs, offer reorganization.
/review Step 5.5: cross-reference PR against open TODOs.
/plan-ceo-review, /plan-eng-review: TODOS context in planning.
/retro: Backlog Health metric. /qa: bug TODO context in diff-aware mode.
All Greptile-aware skills now reference reply templates and escalation detection.

Phase 3 was too vague ("click every nav link") causing the agent to
wander instead of systematically testing form fields. Now explicitly
directs: fill every input, clear it, try invalid values, submit and
check console. Added Phase 4 finalize step to ensure report is updated
with all findings.

The UP_TO_DATE cache path exited immediately without checking if the
cached version still matched the local VERSION. After upgrading (e.g.
0.3.3 → 0.3.4), the cache still said "UP_TO_DATE 0.3.3" and the
script never re-checked against remote — so updates were invisible
until the 24h cache expired.
Now both UP_TO_DATE and UPGRADE_AVAILABLE verify cached version vs
local before trusting the cache.

Add PID to heartbeat file. eval-watch checks process.kill(pid, 0) and
auto-deletes the heartbeat when the PID is no longer alive — no manual
cleanup needed after crashed/killed E2E runs.

Update test tier costs and commands (Agent SDK → claude -p, SKILL_E2E → EVALS),
add E2E observability section to CONTRIBUTING and ARCHITECTURE, add testing
quick-start to README.

Spawn a quick claude -p ping before running 13 tests. If the Anthropic API
is unreachable (ConnectionRefused), throw immediately instead of burning
through the entire suite with silent false passes.

Removing the _partial-e2e.json deletion from finalize(). These are small files
on a local disk and their persistence is the whole point of observability.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
claude -p can return subtype="success" with is_error=true when the API is
unreachable. Previously we only checked subtype, so API failures silently
passed. Now check is_error first and report as 'error_api'.

eval-watch: live terminal dashboard reads heartbeat + partial file every 1s,
shows completed/running tests, stale detection (>10min), --tail flag for
progress.log tail. Pure renderDashboard() function for testability.
observability.test.ts: unit tests for sanitizeTestName, heartbeat schema,
progress.log format, NDJSON file naming, savePartial() with _partial flag,
finalize() cleanup, diagnostic fields, watcher rendering, stale detection,
and non-fatal I/O guarantees.

Generate per-session runId, pass testName + runId to every runSkillTest() call,
wire exit_reason/timeout_at_turn/last_tool_call through recordE2E(). Add
eval:watch script entry to package.json.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
session-runner: atomic heartbeat file (e2e-live.json), per-run log directory
(~/.gstack-dev/e2e-runs/{runId}/), progress.log + per-test NDJSON persistence,
failure transcripts to persistent run dir instead of tmpdir.
eval-store: 3 new diagnostic fields (exit_reason, timeout_at_turn, last_tool_call),
savePartial() writes _partial-e2e.json after each addTest() for crash resilience,
finalize() cleans up partial file.
