* fix(security): validateOutputPath symlink bypass — check file-level symlinks

validateOutputPath() previously only resolved symlinks on the parent directory.
A symlink at /tmp/evil.png → /etc/crontab passed the parent check (parent is
/tmp, which is safe) but the write followed the symlink outside safe dirs.

Add lstatSync() check: if the target file exists and is a symlink, resolve
through it and verify the real target is within SAFE_DIRECTORIES. ENOENT
(file doesn't exist yet) falls through to the existing parent-dir check.

Closes #921

* fix(security): shell injection in bin/ scripts — use env vars instead of interpolation

gstack-settings-hook interpolated $SETTINGS_FILE directly into bun -e
double-quoted blocks. A path containing quotes or backticks breaks the JS
string context, enabling arbitrary code execution.

Replace direct interpolation with environment variables (process.env).
Same fix applied to gstack-team-init which had the same pattern.

Systematic audit confirmed only these two scripts were vulnerable — all
other bin/ scripts already use stdin piping or env vars.

Closes #858

* fix(security): cookie-import path validation bypass + hardcoded /tmp

Two fixes:
1. cookie-import relative path bypass (#707): path.isAbsolute() gated the
   entire validation, so relative paths like "sensitive-file.json" bypassed
   the safe-directory check entirely. Now always resolves to absolute path
   with realpathSync for symlink resolution, matching validateOutputPath().

2. Hardcoded /tmp in cookie-import-browser (#708): openDbFromCopy used
   /tmp directly instead of os.tmpdir(), breaking Windows support.

Also adds explicit imports for SAFE_DIRECTORIES and isPathWithin in
write-commands.ts (previously resolved implicitly through bundler).

Closes #852

* fix(security): redact form fields with sensitive names, not just type=password

Form redaction only applied to type="password" fields. Hidden and text
fields named csrf_token, api_key, session_id, etc. were exposed unredacted
in LLM context, leaking secrets.

Extend redaction to check field name and id against sensitive patterns:
token, secret, key, password, credential, auth, jwt, session, csrf, sid,
api_key. Uses the same pattern style as SENSITIVE_COOKIE_NAME.

Closes #860

* fix(security): restrict session file permissions to owner-only

Design session files written to /tmp with default umask (0644) were
world-readable on shared systems. Sessions contain design prompts and
feedback history.

Set mode 0o600 (owner read/write only) on both create and update paths.

Closes #859

Co-Authored-By: Gus <garagon@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(security): enforce frozen lockfile during setup

bun install without --frozen-lockfile resolves ^semver ranges from npm on
every run. If an attacker publishes a compromised compatible version of any
dependency, the next ./setup pulls it silently.

Add --frozen-lockfile with fallback to plain install (for fresh clones
where bun.lock may not exist yet). Matches the pattern already used in
the .agents/ generation block (line 237).

Closes #614

* fix: remove duplicate recursive chmod on /tmp in Dockerfile.ci

chmod -R 1777 /tmp recursively sets sticky bit on files (no defined
behavior), not just the directory. Deduplicate to single chmod 1777 /tmp.

Closes #747

* fix(security): learnings input validation + cross-project trust gate

Three fixes to the learnings system:

1. Input validation in gstack-learnings-log: type must be from allowed list,
   key must be alphanumeric, confidence must be 1-10 integer, source must
   be from allowed list. Prevents injection via malformed fields.

2. Prompt injection defense: insight field checked against 10 instruction-like
   patterns (ignore previous, system:, override, etc.). Rejected with clear
   error message.

3. Cross-project trust gate in gstack-learnings-search: AI-generated learnings
   from other projects are filtered out. Only user-stated learnings cross
   project boundaries. Prevents silent prompt injection across codebases.

Also adds trusted field (true for user-stated source, false for AI-generated)
to enable the trust gate at read time.

Closes #841

* feat(security): track cookie-imported domains and scope cookie imports

Foundation for origin-pinned JS execution (#616). Tracks which domains
cookies were imported from so the JS/eval commands can verify execution
stays within imported origins.

Changes:
- BrowserManager: new cookieImportedDomains Set with track/get/has methods
- cookie-import: tracks imported cookie domains after addCookies
- cookie-import-browser: tracks domains on --domain direct import
- cookie-import-browser --all: new explicit opt-in for all-domain import
  (previously implicit behavior, now requires deliberate flag)

Closes #615

* feat(security): pin JS/eval execution to cookie-imported origins

When cookies have been imported for specific domains, block JS execution
on pages whose origin doesn't match. Prevents the attack chain:
1. Agent imports cookies for github.com
2. Prompt injection navigates to attacker.com
3. Agent runs js document.cookie → exfiltrates github cookies

assertJsOriginAllowed() checks the current page hostname against imported
cookie domains with subdomain matching (.github.com allows api.github.com).
When no cookies are imported, all origins allowed (nothing to protect).
about:blank and data: URIs are allowed (no cookies at risk).

Depends on #615 (cookie domain tracking).

Closes #616

* feat(security): add persistent command audit log

Append-only JSONL audit trail for all browse server commands. Unlike
in-memory ring buffers, the audit log persists across restarts and is
never truncated. Each entry records: timestamp, command, args (truncated
to 200 chars), page origin, duration, status, error (truncated to 300
chars), hasCookies flag, connection mode.

All writes are best-effort — audit failures never block command execution.
Log stored at ~/.gstack/.browse/browse-audit.jsonl.

Closes #617

* fix(security): block hex-encoded IPv4-mapped IPv6 metadata bypass

URL constructor normalizes ::ffff:169.254.169.254 to ::ffff:a9fe:a9fe
(hex form), which was not in the blocklist. Similarly, ::169.254.169.254
normalizes to ::a9fe:a9fe.

Add both hex-encoded forms to BLOCKED_METADATA_HOSTS so they're caught
by the direct hostname check in validateNavigationUrl.

Closes #739

* fix(browse): symlink resolution in meta-commands validateOutputPath (#820)

Add realpathSync to validateOutputPath in meta-commands.ts to catch
symlink-based directory escapes in screenshot, pdf, and responsive
commands. Resolves SAFE_DIRECTORIES through realpathSync to handle
macOS /tmp -> /private/tmp symlinks. Existing path validation tests
pass with the hardened implementation.

* fix(browse): Windows launcher extraEnv + headed-mode token (#822)

Community PR #822 by @pieterklue. Three fixes:
1. Windows launcher now merges extraEnv into spawned server env (was
   only passing BROWSE_STATE_FILE, dropping all other env vars)
2. Welcome page fallback serves inline HTML instead of about:blank
   redirect (avoids ERR_UNSAFE_REDIRECT on Windows)
3. /health returns auth token in headed mode even without Origin header
   (fixes Playwright Chromium extensions that don't send it)

Also adds HOME/USERPROFILE fallback for cross-platform compatibility.

Add mode 0o700 to all mkdirSync calls for state/session directories.
Add mode 0o600 to all writeFileSync calls for session.json, chat.jsonl,
and log files. Add umask 077 to setup script. Prevents auth tokens, chat
history, and browser logs from being world-readable on multi-user systems.

Replace Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * with http://127.0.0.1 on sidebar
tab/chat endpoints. The Chrome extension uses manifest host_permissions

* fix: gate /health token on chrome-extension Origin header

Only return the auth token in /health response when the request Origin
starts with chrome-extension://. The Chrome extension always sends this
origin via manifest host_permissions. Regular HTTP requests (including
tunneled ones from ngrok/SSH) won't get the token. The extension also
has a fallback path through background.js that reads the token from the
state file directly.

Garry Tan 78bc1d1968 feat: design binary — real UI mockup generation for gstack skills (v0.13.0.0) (#551)
* docs: design tools v1 plan — visual mockup generation for gstack skills

Full design doc covering the `design` binary that wraps OpenAI's GPT Image API
to generate real UI mockups from gstack's design skills. Includes comparison
board UX spec, auth model, 6 CEO expansions (design memory, mockup diffing,
screenshot evolution, design intent verification, responsive variants,
design-to-code prompt), and 9-commit implementation plan.

Reviewed: /office-hours + /plan-eng-review (CLEARED) + /plan-ceo-review
(EXPANSION, 6/6 accepted) + /plan-design-review (2/10 → 8/10).

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

* feat: design tools prototype validation — GPT Image API works

Prototype script sends 3 design briefs to OpenAI Responses API with
image_generation tool. Results: dashboard (47s, 2.1MB), landing page
(42s, 1.3MB), settings page (37s, 1.3MB) all produce real, implementable
UI mockups with accurate text rendering and clean layouts.

Key finding: Codex OAuth tokens lack image generation scopes. Direct
API key (sk-proj-*) required, stored in ~/.gstack/openai.json.

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

* feat: design binary core — generate, check, compare commands

Stateless CLI (design/dist/design) wrapping OpenAI Responses API for
UI mockup generation. Three working commands:

- generate: brief -> PNG mockup via gpt-4o + image_generation tool
- check: vision-based quality gate via GPT-4o (text readability, layout
  completeness, visual coherence)
- compare: generates self-contained HTML comparison board with star
  ratings, radio Pick, per-variant feedback, regenerate controls,
  and Submit button that writes structured JSON for agent polling

Auth reads from ~/.gstack/openai.json (0600), falls back to
OPENAI_API_KEY env var. Compiled separately from browse binary
(openai added to devDependencies, not runtime deps).

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

* feat: design binary variants + iterate commands

variants: generates N style variations with staggered parallel (1.5s
between launches, exponential backoff on 429). 7 built-in style
variations (bold, calm, warm, corporate, dark, playful + default).
Tested: 3/3 variants in 41.6s.

iterate: multi-turn design iteration using previous_response_id for
conversational threading. Falls back to re-generation with accumulated
feedback if threading doesn't retain visual context.

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

* feat: DESIGN_SETUP + DESIGN_MOCKUP template resolvers

Add generateDesignSetup() and generateDesignMockup() to the existing
design.ts resolver file. Add designDir to HostPaths (claude + codex).
Register DESIGN_SETUP and DESIGN_MOCKUP in the resolver index.

DESIGN_SETUP: $D binary discovery (mirrors $B browse setup pattern).
Falls back to DESIGN_SKETCH if binary not available.

DESIGN_MOCKUP: full visual exploration workflow template — construct
brief from DESIGN.md context, generate 3 variants, open comparison
board in Chrome, poll for user feedback, save approved mockup to
docs/designs/, generate HTML wireframe for implementation.

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

* fix: sync package.json version with VERSION file (0.12.2.0)

Pre-existing mismatch: VERSION was 0.12.2.0 but package.json was
0.12.0.0. Also adds design binary to build script and dev:design
convenience command.

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

* feat: /office-hours visual design exploration integration

Add {{DESIGN_MOCKUP}} to office-hours template before the existing
{{DESIGN_SKETCH}}. When the design binary is available, /office-hours
generates 3 visual mockup variants, opens a comparison board in Chrome,
and polls for user feedback. Falls back to HTML wireframes if the
design binary isn't built.

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

* feat: /plan-design-review visual mockup integration

Add {{DESIGN_SETUP}} to pre-review audit and "show me what 10/10
looks like" mockup generation to the 0-10 rating method. When a
design dimension rates below 7/10, the review can generate a mockup
showing the improved version. Falls back to text descriptions if
the design binary isn't available.

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

* feat: design memory — extract visual language from mockups into DESIGN.md

New `$D extract` command: sends approved mockup to GPT-4o vision,
extracts color palette, typography, spacing, and layout patterns,
writes/updates DESIGN.md with an "Extracted Design Language" section.

Progressive constraint: if DESIGN.md exists, future mockup briefs
include it as style context. If no DESIGN.md, explorations run wide.
readDesignConstraints() reads existing DESIGN.md for brief construction.

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

* feat: mockup diffing + design intent verification

New commands:
- $D diff --before old.png --after new.png: visual diff using GPT-4o
  vision. Returns differences by area with severity (high/medium/low)
  and a matchScore (0-100).
- $D verify --mockup approved.png --screenshot live.png: compares live
  site screenshot against approved design mockup. Pass if matchScore
  >= 70 and no high-severity differences.

Used by /design-review to close the design loop: design -> implement ->
verify visually.

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

* feat: screenshot-to-mockup evolution ($D evolve)

New command: $D evolve --screenshot current.png --brief "make it calmer"

Two-step process: first analyzes the screenshot via GPT-4o vision to
produce a detailed description, then generates a new mockup that keeps
the existing layout structure but applies the requested changes. Starts
from reality, not blank canvas.

Bridges the gap between /design-review critique ("the spacing is off")
and a visual proposal of the fix.

* feat: responsive variants + design-to-code prompt

Responsive variants: $D variants --viewports desktop,tablet,mobile
generates mockups at 1536x1024, 1024x1024, and 1024x1536 (portrait)
with viewport-appropriate layout instructions.

Design-to-code prompt: $D prompt --image approved.png extracts colors,
typography, layout, and components via GPT-4o vision, producing a
structured implementation prompt. Reads DESIGN.md for additional
constraint context.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.13.0.0)

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

* feat: gstack designer as first-class tool in /plan-design-review

Brand the gstack designer prominently, add Step 0.5 for proactive visual
mockup generation before review passes, and update priority hierarchy.
When a plan describes new UI, the skill now offers to generate mockups
with $D variants, run $D check for quality gating, and present a
comparison board via $B goto before any review passes begin.

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

* feat: integrate mockups into review passes and outputs

Thread Step 0.5 mockups through the review workflow: Pass 4 (AI Slop)
evaluates generated mockups visually, Pass 7 uses mockups as evidence
for unresolved decisions, post-pass offers one-shot regeneration after
design changes, and Approved Mockups section records chosen variants
with paths for the implementer.

* feat: gstack designer target mockups in /design-review fix loop

Add $D generate for target mockups in Phase 8a.5 — before fixing a
design finding, generate a mockup showing what it should look like.
Add $D verify in Phase 9 to compare fix results against targets.
Not plan mode — goes straight to implementation.

* feat: gstack designer AI mockups in /design-consultation Phase 5

Replace HTML preview with $D variants + comparison board when designer
is available (Path A). Use $D extract to derive DESIGN.md tokens from
the approved mockup. Handles both plan mode (write to plan) and
non-plan mode (implement immediately). Falls back to HTML preview
(Path B) when designer binary is unavailable.

* fix: make gstack designer the default in /plan-design-review, not optional

The transcript showed the agent writing 5 text descriptions of homepage
variants instead of generating visual mockups, even when the user explicitly
asked for design tools. The skill treated mockups as optional ("Want me to
generate?") when they should be the default behavior.

Changes:
- Rename "Your Visual Design Tool" to "YOUR PRIMARY TOOL" with aggressive
  language: "Don't ask permission. Show it."
- Step 0.5 now generates mockups automatically when DESIGN_READY, no
  AskUserQuestion gatekeeping the default path
- Priority hierarchy: mockups are "non-negotiable" not "if available"
- Step 0D tells the user mockups are coming next
- DESIGN_NOT_AVAILABLE fallback now tells user what they're missing

The only valid reasons to skip mockups: no UI scope, or designer not
installed. Everything else generates by default.

* feat: persist design mockups to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/

Mockups were going to .context/mockups/ (gitignored, workspace-local).
This meant designs disappeared when switching workspaces or conversations,
and downstream skills couldn't reference approved mockups from earlier
reviews.

Now all three design skills save to persistent project-scoped dirs:
- /plan-design-review: ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/<screen>-<date>/
- /design-consultation: ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/design-system-<date>/
- /design-review: ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/design-audit-<date>/

Each directory gets an approved.json recording the user's pick, feedback,
and branch. This lets /design-review verify against mockups that
/plan-design-review approved, and design history is browsable via
ls ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/.

* chore: regenerate codex ship skill with zsh glob guards

Picked up setopt +o nomatch guards from main's v0.12.8.1 merge.

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

* feat: add browse binary discovery to DESIGN_SETUP resolver

The design setup block now discovers $B alongside $D, so skills can
open comparison boards via $B goto and poll feedback via $B eval.
Falls back to `open` on macOS when browse binary is unavailable.

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

* feat: comparison board DOM polling in plan-design-review

After opening the comparison board, the agent now polls
#status via $B eval instead of asking a rigid AskUserQuestion.
Handles submit (read structured JSON feedback), regenerate
(new variants with updated brief), and $B-unavailable fallback
(free-form text response). The user interacts with the real
board UI, not a constrained option picker.

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

* test: comparison board feedback loop integration test

16 tests covering the full DOM polling cycle: structure verification,
submit with pick/rating/comment, regenerate flows (totally different,
more like this, custom text), and the agent polling pattern
(empty → submitted → read JSON). Uses real generateCompareHtml()
from design/src/compare.ts, served via HTTP. Runs in <1s.

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

* feat: add $D serve command for HTTP-based comparison board feedback

The comparison board feedback loop was fundamentally broken: browse blocks
file:// URLs (url-validation.ts:71), so $B goto file://board.html always
fails. The fallback open + $B eval polls a different browser instance.

$D serve fixes this by serving the board over HTTP on localhost. The server
is stateful: stays alive across regeneration rounds, exposes /api/progress
for the board to poll, and accepts /api/reload from the agent to swap in
new board HTML. Stdout carries feedback JSON only; stderr carries telemetry.

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

* feat: dual-mode feedback + post-submit lifecycle in comparison board

When __GSTACK_SERVER_URL is set (injected by $D serve), the board POSTs
feedback to the server instead of only writing to hidden DOM elements.
After submit: disables all inputs, shows "Return to your coding agent."
After regenerate: shows spinner, polls /api/progress, auto-refreshes on
ready. On POST failure: shows copyable JSON fallback. On progress timeout
(5 min): shows error with /design-shotgun prompt. DOM fallback preserved
for headed browser mode and tests.

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

* test: HTTP serve command endpoints and regeneration lifecycle

11 tests covering: HTML serving with injected server URL, /api/progress
state reporting, submit → done lifecycle, regenerate → regenerating state,
remix with remixSpec, malformed JSON rejection, /api/reload HTML swapping,
missing file validation, and full regenerate → reload → submit round-trip.

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

* feat: add DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP resolver + fix design artifact paths

Adds generateDesignShotgunLoop() resolver for the shared comparison board
feedback loop (serve via HTTP, handle regenerate/remix, AskUserQuestion
fallback, feedback confirmation). Registered as {{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}}.

Fixes generateDesignMockup() to use ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/
instead of /tmp/ and docs/designs/. Replaces broken $B goto file:// +
$B eval polling with $D compare --serve (HTTP-based, stdout feedback).

Adds CRITICAL PATH RULE guardrail to DESIGN_SETUP: design artifacts must
go to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/, never .context/ or /tmp/.

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

* feat: add /design-shotgun standalone design exploration skill

New skill for visual brainstorming: generate AI design variants, open a
comparison board in the user's browser, collect structured feedback, and
iterate. Features: session detection (revisit prior explorations), 5-dimension
context gathering (who, job to be done, what exists, user flow, edge cases),
taste memory (prior approved designs bias new generations), inline variant
preview, configurable variant count, screenshot-to-variants via $D evolve.

Uses {{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}} resolver for the feedback loop. Saves all
artifacts to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/.

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for design-shotgun + resolver changes

* feat: add remix UI to comparison board

Per-variant element selectors (Layout, Colors, Typography, Spacing) with
radio buttons in a grid. Remix button collects selections into a remixSpec
object and sends via the same HTTP POST feedback mechanism. Enabled only
when at least one element is selected. Board shows regenerating spinner
while agent generates the hybrid variant.

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

* feat: add $D gallery command for design history timeline

Generates a self-contained HTML page showing all prior design explorations
for a project: every variant (approved or not), feedback notes, organized
by date (newest first). Images embedded as base64. Handles corrupted
approved.json gracefully (skips, still shows the session). Empty state
shows "No history yet" with /design-shotgun prompt.

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

* test: gallery generation — sessions, dates, corruption, empty state

7 tests: empty dir, nonexistent dir, single session with approved variant,
multiple sessions sorted newest-first, corrupted approved.json handled
gracefully, session without approved.json, self-contained HTML (no
external dependencies).

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

* refactor: replace broken file:// polling with {{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}}

plan-design-review and design-consultation templates previously used
$B goto file:// + $B eval polling for the comparison board feedback loop.
This was broken (browse blocks file:// URLs). Both templates now use
{{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}} which serves via HTTP, handles regeneration in
the same browser tab, and falls back to AskUserQuestion.

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

* test: add design-shotgun touchfile entries and tier classifications

design-shotgun-path (gate): verify artifacts go to ~/.gstack/, not .context/
design-shotgun-session (gate): verify repeat-run detection + AskUserQuestion
design-shotgun-full (periodic): full round-trip with real design binary

* feat: comparison board UI improvements — option headers, pick confirmation, grid view

Three changes to the design comparison board:

1. Pick confirmation: selecting "Pick" on Option A shows "We'll move
   forward with Option A" in green, plus a status line above the submit
   button repeating the choice.

2. Clear option headers: each variant now has "Option A" in bold with a
   subtitle above the image, instead of just the raw image.

3. View toggle: top-right Large/Grid buttons switch between single-column
   (default) and 3-across grid view.

Also restructured the bottom section into a 2-column grid: submit/overall
feedback on the left, regenerate controls on the right.

* fix: use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost for serve URL

Avoids DNS resolution issues on some systems where localhost may resolve
to IPv6 ::1 while Bun listens on IPv4 only.

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

* fix: write ALL feedback to disk so agent can poll in background mode

The agent backgrounds $D serve (Claude Code can't block on a subprocess
and do other work simultaneously). With stdout-only feedback delivery,
the agent never sees regenerate/remix feedback.

Fix: write feedback-pending.json (regenerate/remix) and feedback.json
(submit) to disk next to the board HTML. Agent polls the filesystem
instead of reading stdout. Both channels (stdout + disk) are always
active so foreground mode still works.

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

* feat: DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP uses file polling instead of stdout reading

Update the template resolver to instruct the agent to background $D serve
and poll for feedback-pending.json / feedback.json on a 5-second loop.
This matches the real-world pattern where Claude Code / Conductor agents
can't block on subprocess stdout.

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for file-polling feedback loop

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

* fix: null-safe DOM selectors for post-submit and regenerating states

The user's layout restructure renamed .regenerate-bar → .regen-column,
.submit-bar → .submit-column, and .overall-section → .bottom-section.
The JS still referenced the old class names, causing querySelector to
return null and showPostSubmitState() / showRegeneratingState() to
silently crash. This meant Submit and Regenerate buttons appeared to
work (DOM elements updated, HTTP POST succeeded) but the visual
feedback (disabled inputs, spinner, success message) never appeared.

Fix: use fallback selectors that check both old and new class names,
with null guards so a missing element doesn't crash the function.

* test: end-to-end feedback roundtrip — browser click to file on disk

The test that proves "changes on the website propagate to Claude Code."
Opens the comparison board in a real headless browser with __GSTACK_SERVER_URL
injected, simulates user clicks (Submit, Regenerate, More Like This), and
verifies that feedback.json / feedback-pending.json land on disk with the
correct structured data.

6 tests covering: submit → feedback.json, post-submit UI lockdown,
regenerate → feedback-pending.json, more-like-this → feedback-pending.json,
regenerate spinner display, and full regen → reload → submit round-trip.

* docs: comprehensive design doc for Design Shotgun feedback loop

Documents the full browser-to-agent feedback architecture: state machine,
file-based polling, port discovery, post-submit lifecycle, and every known
edge case (zombie forms, dead servers, stale spinners, file:// bug,
double-click races, port coordination, sequential generate rule).

Includes ASCII diagrams of the data flow and state transitions, complete
step-by-step walkthrough of happy path and regeneration path, test coverage
map with gaps, and short/medium/long-term improvement ideas.

* fix: plan-design-review agent guardrails for feedback loop

Four fixes to prevent agents from reinventing the feedback loop badly:

1. Sequential generate rule: explicit instruction that $D generate calls
   must run one at a time (API rate-limits concurrent image generation).
2. No-AskUserQuestion-for-feedback rule: agent reads feedback.json instead
   of re-asking what the user picked.
3. Remove file:// references: $B goto file:// was always rejected by
   url-validation.ts. The --serve flag handles everything.
4. Remove $B eval polling reference: no longer needed with HTTP POST.

* fix: design-shotgun Step 3 progressive reveal, silent failure detection, timing estimate

Three production UX bugs fixed:
1. Dead air — now shows timing estimate before generation starts
2. Silent variant drop — replaced $D variants batch with individual $D generate
   calls, each verified for existence and non-zero size with retry
3. No progressive reveal — each variant shown inline via Read tool immediately
   after generation (~60s increments instead of all at ~180s)

Also: /tmp/ then cp as default output pattern (sandbox workaround),
screenshot taken once for evolve path (not per-variant).

* feat: parallel design-shotgun with concept-first confirmation

Step 3 rewritten to concept-first + parallel Agent architecture:
- 3a: generate text concepts (free, instant)
- 3b: AskUserQuestion to confirm/modify before spending API credits
- 3c: launch N Agent subagents in parallel (~60s total regardless of count)
- 3d: show all results, dynamic image list for comparison board

Adds Agent to allowed-tools. Softens plan-design-review sequential
warning to note design-shotgun uses parallel at Tier 2+.
