Garry Tanandcapy-ai[bot] c7edf46bcf v1.91.47.0 fix(careful,freeze): safety hooks cover PowerShell and NotebookEdit (#3077)
* fix(careful): check PowerShell tool commands and nested pwsh/cmd (#3067)

/careful and /guard matched only the Bash tool, so on Windows, where
Claude Code's PowerShell tool is the primary shell, the guard never ran.
check-careful.sh also had no PowerShell or cmd patterns.

- careful/guard register a PowerShell matcher beside Bash.
- hook-extract.sh gains gstack_hook_extract_tool: one parser call reads
  tool_name with the field, so dispatch adds no fork.
- check-careful.sh runs one PowerShell/cmd pattern table on PowerShell
  tool commands and on the tail of any Bash command that launches
  pwsh/powershell/cmd: Remove-Item and aliases with -Recurse/-Force
  prefixes, rd/rmdir/del/erase /s, Format-Volume, Clear-Disk,
  Clear-Content, [IO.Directory]/[IO.File]::Delete, and asks with an
  explanation for -EncodedCommand, iex, Start-Process of a shell and
  & $cmd. Command-position anchors keep Bash negative controls allowed.
- /careful documents the coverage as best-effort and points to Claude
  Code permission deny rules.

* fix(freeze): NotebookEdit respects the freeze boundary (#3067)

NotebookEdit was in no freeze/guard/investigate matcher, and
check-freeze.sh read only file_path, so notebook edits ignored /freeze on
every platform. NotebookEdit carries tool_input.notebook_path.

- freeze, guard and investigate register a NotebookEdit matcher beside
  Edit and Write.
- check-freeze.sh reads file_path, then notebook_path, through the shared
  extractor; denials name the tool, the field, the boundary and
  /unfreeze. A helper without the combined reader denies as out of date.

* test: run hook-scripts on the Windows lane (#3067)

The careful/freeze hooks are Windows coverage, but test/hook-scripts.test.ts
was excluded from windows-free-tests by the raw /tmp/ pattern; its /tmp/
literals are payload strings that are never opened. Admit it by name and
gate the three cases Windows runners cannot host: a symlink (no Developer
Mode), a newline in a directory name, and a POSIX ':' PATH prefix.

* chore(evals): check-careful.sh is free-only for PR selection

No paid fixture copies or runs careful/bin/check-careful.sh (the
investigate boundary fixture copies hook-extract.sh and check-freeze.sh
only); test/hook-scripts.test.ts covers it. As an unknown dependency it
restored the full paid gate on every /careful hook change.

* fix(careful): hook payload reader survives Windows text-mode Python and backslash source paths

windows-free-tests (run 37739845723) showed every PowerShell-tool case
falling through: Python's text-mode stdout on Windows wrote tool_name as
"PowerShell\r", so dispatch never matched, and freeze denials carried
stray CRs. gstack_hook_extract_tool now reads and writes bytes.

hook-extract.sh also located gstack-state-root.sh with ${BASH_SOURCE%/*},
which strips nothing when the file is sourced through a C:\... path, so
gstack_hook_state_root vanished (state-root parity case on the same run).

* fix(context-restore): offer newer checkpoints from nested repos and task worktrees

/context-restore could present an older checkpoint as the latest with no
error in two layouts:

1. A session started in a non-git parent saved from a nested repo, so the
   checkpoint went to the nested repo's bucket. Restore in the parent now
   lists checkpoints of other buckets whose project_root lies below the cwd
   (BELOW_CWD; the 200 newest are read, and from $HOME only each project's
   newest). /context-save also leaves a JSON pointer (checkpoint path, bucket,
   project_root) in the starting directory's bucket when $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR
   is set and files elsewhere; restore lists those as POINTER, in or out of git.
2. A plan checkpoint on the main tree's branch shadowed a newer checkpoint
   saved in a ticket worktree. When another branch holds a newer checkpoint
   for the same task (a worktree below the main tree, read from the new
   worktree: stamp; equal normalized titles; or a shared #123 / ABC-123
   token in titles or branch names), restore prints NEWER_TASK and the skill
   shows both and proposes the newer one. Generic titles (wip, checkpoint,
   save, notes, todo) never match on title alone, and the worktree rule
   applies only when restoring from the main tree, so sibling worktrees
   still never shadow each other.

The branch-first ordering itself is unchanged.

* fix(redact-prepush): list each MEDIUM finding with rule, file line and fix

The pre-push hook printed only a MEDIUM count, which nobody could review
without re-running the engine by hand. It now prints one line per finding:
rule id, file and file line, and a fix, never the matched value.

Line numbers come from the hunk headers (combined --cc headers included), so
a finding in a later hunk or past a scan-chunk boundary points at the real
file line. Findings from the per-commit catch-up path name the commit whose
file line it is, so content removed before the pushed tip is still locatable.

Plan items: CEO-7 (summary half), DX-9 (fix lines), ENG-8 (line mapping).

* fix(redact-prepush): stop flagging your own email and already-public authors (#3060)

The hook never passed the engine's selfEmail / repoPublicEmails, so every
push that added the pusher's address, or a commit author's, raised a MEDIUM
pii.email warning for an address the destination already shows.

The hook now reads `git config user.email` and one bounded `git log` of
author and committer addresses, raw and mailmapped (%ae %aE %ce %cE): the
history of every pushed tip (those commits become public with the push),
each remote tip being replaced, and, for a new branch or an unknown remote
tip pushed to a configured remote, that remote's own tracking refs. A URL or
unknown destination never borrows tracking refs, and another remote's
history never counts.

The read stops at 50,000 commits (the newest authors are used) and 5 seconds.
An error or the timeout passes no history and, when an email finding is
listed, prints one line saying suppression was limited for this push. The two
inputs fail independently. HIGH findings and every other rule are untouched.

Controls: a stranger's address, an address only another remote knows, a URL
push next to a matching remote, and a first push of a repo with no history
all still report.

Plan items: A3, CEO-7, CEO-23 (A3 half), DX-9 (partial history), ENG-8
(history scope, mailmap).

* feat(redact-prepush): per-address allowlist for pii.email (gstack.redact.allowEmail)

`git config --add gstack.redact.allowEmail <address>` allows that address for
MEDIUM pii.email findings only, so a team alias or support address that has
to be in the repo stops warning without reaching for --no-verify. It never
affects HIGH findings or any other rule, and the pii.email fix line names it.

Controls: a different address still reports, and a HIGH secret next to an
allowed address still blocks.

Plan item: DX-17.

* test(redact-prepush): assemble fixture addresses at runtime

The email fixtures were literals, so this branch's own push listed 47
pii.email findings in its test file. Build them from a helper instead, the
way the neighbouring tests build credential and IP fixtures.

* fix(browse): offer the user's signed-in tab, name silent aside repl failures

Rules (rendered into every browsing skill, kept short):
- Rule 1: before the first openTab, offer the user's tabs on the target
  origin (title and origin only; the rest of listBrowserTabs() stays
  private) and attach only after the user confirms one.
- Rule 4: a second sign-in wall after a confirmed sign-in means the session
  is bound to the tab or URL; offer that tab instead of another sign-in.
- Rule 6 no longer suggests an early return; rule 7 says a fast [ok without
  GSTACK_STEP_OK is an abort.

Cookbook (browse, devex-review): a "Silent failures" list (evaluate returns
only serializable values, no top-level return, locator(sel).press(key), an
empty DOM read is about the selector until the screenshot and the request's
response say otherwise, read toggle state before clicking) and a signed-in
tab recipe that prints only target-origin tabs and never closes the user's tab.

Parity caps for design-consultation, land-and-deploy, qa and the browse
skeleton are raised to the measured sizes, with notes.

* feat(codex): run gstack-codex-probe as a command, one subcommand per probe

Generated skills now execute bin/gstack-codex-probe (select-model, check-auth,
show-sandbox, check-sandbox, probe-model, check-version, show-first-use-notice,
run-with-timeout, log-event, log-hang, help) and capture its KEY: value lines,
so no helper state crosses into the calling shell and the preflight works from
bash, zsh or sh. select-model keeps --model > GSTACK_CODEX_MODEL > config.toml
precedence; run-with-timeout supervises with the existing gtimeout/timeout/
watchdog chain and returns 124 on a deadline; an unknown subcommand exits 64.

Sourcing keeps working for skills rendered before the upgrade and prints one
deprecation line naming /gstack-upgrade; it and the zsh self-locate block are
removed in a release on or after 2026-10-21 (DX-18). Parity caps raised with
measured notes for the longer capture lines.

* feat(gstack-post): one argv-only, redaction-scanned write path for PR and issue text

bin/gstack-post posts a PR/MR or issue comment, a review-comment reply, a
PR title or body, a new PR/MR or a new issue from agent-written files. Every
value reaches gh/glab as its own argv element in --flag=<value> form or on
stdin, never through a shell string, and a target is a number or a URL of
this repository on the same host.

The helper owns the redaction scan: it reads each file once, scans those
exact bytes (visibility from config, then gh/glab; the pusher's own email
suppressed) and sends the same bytes. HIGH is refused with exit 1 and no
confirmation can post it. MEDIUM exits 2 with RULE:/LINE:/PART: lines and a
TOKEN: digest of the bytes, destination, operation and findings; only
--confirm <token> for those exact bytes posts, so any edit needs a new
confirmation. gh/glab failures exit 3, usage errors 64. It also carries the
projectCards REST fallback and the title read-back that /ship did by hand.

The logic lives in lib/gstack-post.ts behind an injectable runner, so its
tests run in the Windows free lane; the stub-gh executable test is POSIX.

* fix(autoplan): guard verifies dispatches on Claude Code 2.1.29x (schema strip, unflushed call, named causes)

Cause A: Claude Code journals the model's raw Agent input but hands
PreToolUse the schema-parsed input; with the fork-subagent gate on (the
interactive default in 2.1.292) run_in_background is dropped, so the journal
record never deep-equaled the payload. nativeToolInput now drops only that
documented strip for Agent. Agent input is bound on both paths: keys limited
to prompt, description, subagent_type (general-purpose) and
run_in_background; a model override or any other key is denied.

Cause B: when a ready journal lacks the current call, the guard evaluates
the payload placed after the last journaled record instead of polling for a
record that may arrive only with the tool result. A phase transition counts
a report only when a later journaled record follows it (and, on the journal
path, it is not in the current call's message). One batch rule covers both
paths; a background reviewer keeps the invocation armed until its
completion notice.

Every outcome now has a stable reason code, disposition and anchor
(autoplan/bin/guard-reasons.ts). UC1: Claude-Code-caused states
(unrecognized shape, journal lag, rewritten journal, oversized record,
unchecked-version schema strip) allow with a visible warning; integrity
failures stay denials. No denial advises a bare retry. Every guarded
decision appends one content-free line to analytics/autoplan-guard.jsonl,
trimmed to 1,000 lines past 256 KiB.

* fix(autoplan): publish each phase report with a no-op call; foreground requests are conditional

Phase-close step 6 sends the report in a message whose only tool call is
the Bash no-op ': autoplan-published <phase>', and step 7 makes the next
guarded call in a later message, so the guard sees the report flushed
before the next phase entry regardless of Claude Code's journal timing.

Every site that asked for run_in_background: false now asks for it only
when the Agent schema offers it and says how to recover when a dispatch
runs in the background anyway (wait for its completion notice). Parity
caps rise by the measured bytes.

* feat(ship,spec,review): PR and issue text goes out only through gstack-post

/ship: Step 18 writes the title into an agent-written file. An existing PR's
title is piped from gh/glab through gstack-pr-title-rewrite.sh --stdin (new),
so neither the agent nor a shell string carries it; a new title is written
with the file tool and its version prefix checked in the file. Step 19
composes the body as before and publishes with gstack-post pr-create, or
pr-body then pr-title, which scan the exact bytes they send. The separate
title and body scans, the hand-rolled REST fallback and the title self-check
are gone (the helper does all three). Title preparation moved into the
pr-body section, so the skeleton shrinks.

/spec files its issue with gstack-post issue-create and drops the pre-issue
re-scan; Greptile replies use gstack-post reply and pr-comment.
scripts/resolvers/redact-doc.ts loses its PR and issue sinks, and a test
keeps any template from rendering one again.

Tests that pinned the old scan-then-gh wiring now pin the gstack-post wiring;
the publication tests run the real compose and publish blocks against a stub
gh with the real helper (HIGH in title or body refused, MEDIUM token flow).

* ci: pin Claude Code 2.1.292 in the CI image

2.1.292 is the npm latest users run. Its interactive default turns on the
fork-subagent gate, which strips run_in_background from the Agent schema
and backgrounds reviewers; CI on 2.1.284 never saw the /autoplan guard
break. The image tag is a content hash, so every eval workflow picks up
the new image without a workflow edit.

* fix(brain-sync): one drain lock for every writer to the artifacts repo

gstack-artifacts-init, gstack-brain-restore, gstack-gbrain-source-wireup
and the skill-start merge ran git in $GSTACK_HOME without the drain's lock,
so the drain could never tell an abandoned .git/index.lock from a live one.
They now take the same mkdir lock (bin/gstack-brain-lock.sh): the drain and
the skill-start merge skip when it is held, user-run writers wait for it
(GSTACK_BRAIN_LOCK_WAIT, default 120 s), and a child of the holder (the
drain's daily worktree advance, restore's wireup) inherits it by token.

* fix(brain-sync): hold back only the flagged file, keep coupled artifacts whole

One file with secret-shaped text used to block every push, silently. The
drain now attributes scanner hits to files in one pass over the staged diff
(split on its diff --git headers), holds back each flagged file with the
rest of its coupled group, unstages it, and requires the remaining staged
diff to re-scan clean; anything short of that falls back to a full unstage
and status blocked. Held files stay queued and are re-scanned every drain.

- Status file gains held_count, drainable, last_drain_at, last_push_at and
  held[] (path, scanner rule, dependents, both fixes); new status held.
- Coupled groups come from an explicit map (decisions.jsonl and
  decisions.active.json): a queued member stages the whole group, a group
  stages only when its snapshot matches its log in the index, a skipped
  member stops the whole group.
- --unskip-file undoes --skip-file and queues the path again.
- An index lock older than 10 minutes is removed under the drain lock; a
  younger one, a failed git add, a failed commit (hooks included) keep the
  queue and report status error. A verified empty staged diff is the only
  "nothing to commit". git add runs once, batched.
- The scanner reads bytes, so undecodable content no longer crashes it into
  a false clean; matched text never reaches the status file.
- An empty-queue run with unpushed sync commits stays push_failed.
- Privacy-held duplicate records collapse to one per path; --status counts
  a spool too deep for a shell glob.
- --attention prints skill start's fixed attention lines from the sync
  status table in the usage header.

* feat(skill-start): ARTIFACTS_SYNC attention lines for a stuck sync

Skill start now prints one fixed attention line per sync-status-table row
that applies (held, blocked, push_failed, error, unknown, stale-push,
stale-drain), each naming gstack-brain-sync by absolute path. Values from
the status file are clamped (status code to the table, counts to digits,
timestamps to their shape), so the status message, file paths and scanner
output never reach the line. The preamble tells the model to surface the
line in one sentence and continue. Skill-start tests are generated from the
table in bin/gstack-brain-sync, and docs/gbrain-sync-errors.md carries the
same table.

* fix(outside-review): severity words in label position count as findings

The Oct 7 /autoplan run's Codex CEO and DX reviews labeled seven and eight
findings High/Medium without [Pn] tags, and the classifier printed
VERDICT: clean / FINDINGS: none for both. lib/outside-review-result.ts now
reads severity words in label position (Severity: High, a leading High: /
High — / [High], **High**, a table cell): critical/high block like P0/P1,
medium/low are advisory. Words in prose (high-level, low-risk, no critical
findings) never count. A review or structured response with neither tags,
labels nor an explicit no-findings statement is unverified, never clean
(DX-11, ENG-10). Design-direction proposals move to a new proposal gate so
they keep needing only their Recommendation line, and review prompts ask
for a severity per finding. Fixtures reproduce the CEO/DX label shapes, the
eng [P1] output, a table and prose negative controls; the stored Codex panel
keeps its verdicts. docs/troubleshooting.md explains how the verdict is read.

* feat: gstack-doctor readiness report and setup --status Codex row (B5)

bin/gstack-doctor prints one row per check without starting a skill:
install root (the registry rows behind ./setup --status), state root, Bun
against the floor, hook parse check, Codex mode and self-locate via
gstack-codex-probe subcommands, the cached model probe with its age
(--live runs the paid probe-model), artifacts-sync health from the status
file with the status code clamped, the browse bundle, Claude Code version,
the largest session journal and the last five schema-1 guard reason codes.
Rows are ok, warn, not configured or fail; only fail exits non-zero; fix
lines name helpers by absolute install-root path.

./setup --status gains a read-only Codex row (bin/gstack-codex-status.sh,
shared with the doctor) and ends with the doctor's absolute path.

* docs: bug-report template asks for doctor output; README troubleshooting entry; doctor test in the Windows lane

The template gives the Claude Code doctor path and a lookup for other
hosts and names no bare gstack- command (asserted in
test/gstack-doctor.test.ts). The doctor test runs every script through
explicit bash argv, so it joins the curated Windows free subset.

* fix(question-tuning,plan-tune,gbrain): free text reaches helpers only through agent-written files

Question tuning no longer pipes the question summary through printf: a
registered id needs no summary, and for an unregistered id the agent writes
the summary to .gstack/tmp/qt.txt and passes --summary-file (new). The
helper resolves a relative path against the git top level, removes scratch
files under .gstack/tmp, and asks normally when the file is missing.

/plan-tune tune events carry the user's own words again: they go into a
file the agent writes and reach gstack-question-preference --write through
--free-text-file (new), still behind the injection filter and the
user-origin gate.

docs/gbrain-write-surfaces.md drops its heredoc templates for the
agent-written page file on stdin, matching the per-skill save block, and the
generic save block stops showing a quoted --content argument.

The tuning prose was tightened so every preamble stays within its size cap.

* test(evals): daily autoplan-schema-canary on the latest Claude Code

A periodic rule case installs the latest published Claude Code with
install scripts off, verifies registry signatures, and runs one headless
session with the fork-subagent gate on whose PreToolUse hook records an
Agent and a Read payload. Each payload must match its journal record under
the guard's own comparison, keep the journal's key set apart from the
documented run_in_background strip, and stay inside the Agent allowlist;
a background Agent's completion notice must keep the shape the guard reads.
evals-periodic.yml runs it daily on its own schedule and concurrency group
(read-only token); the weekly census also includes it. A free test proves
the comparison fails on an injected strip.

* fix(doctor): read the artifacts sync held count from held_count, the field the drain writes

* fix(artifacts sync): the init and restore pre-commit hooks catch Bearer/Basic/Token-prefixed JSON auth headers like the drain does

* feat(greptile-early): detect Greptile, ask once on public repos, open the early draft, wait for the review

bin/gstack-greptile-early backs /ship's early Greptile PR:
- detect: a root .greptile/ folder (which takes precedence), greptile.json,
  or a Greptile comment on the repo in the last 90 days; triggerOnDrafts from
  the effective root config; repo visibility; public-repo consent. It prints
  the signal, that /ship will push and open a draft now, the 10-minute wait
  cap and the absolute gstack-config command that turns it off.
- consent yes|no: the public-repo answer, remembered per repo in the
  project's state.
- open: opens the draft through gstack-post with a body saying /ship opened
  it early, and posts one @greptileai comment through gstack-post when the
  config does not set triggerOnDrafts: true. An open PR is left alone.
- wait: polls every 30 s for a completed Greptile check run, a Greptile
  review of the head commit or a summary naming it; each call returns within
  about 90 s and reports timeout 10 minutes after the PR opened.

gstack-config gains ship_greptile_early (default true, invalid values
rejected): on automatically whenever the repo uses Greptile, off per user.
The logic is in lib/greptile-early.ts behind an injectable runner, so its
fixture-repo tests run in the Windows lane; an end-to-end test drives the
real helper and gstack-post against a stub gh.

* feat(ship): early Greptile PR at Step 6.5, bounded wait at Step 10 (#3020)

When the repo uses Greptile, /ship pushes and opens a draft PR right after
its free tests pass (new lazy section greptile-early, Step 6.5), so Greptile
reviews while Steps 7-9 run. A public repo asks once, remembered per repo;
declining keeps today's order. Step 10 waits for that review with
gstack-greptile-early wait and takes the existing unavailable route on a
timeout, never a claim of zero comments. Step 18 replaces the provisional
title, Step 19 marks the draft ready unless a draft was requested, and a
/ship that stops after Step 6.5 leaves the draft open with one comment
saying why.

ship's union cap rises to 1.5275 with the measured note (B4 +836 bytes,
B2 +4,732 bytes); the step-numbering guard allows 6.5; ship goldens are
refreshed for B4 and B2.

* fix(autoplan): the publication no-op is 'true autoplan-published <phase>'

Measured on Claude Code 2.1.292 in a default-settings interactive session:
a bare ':' Bash command asks for approval ('This command requires
approval'), and after a background reviewer's completion notice starts a
new turn the skill's allowed tools no longer cover it, so the phase-close
no-op prompted the user. 'true' with arguments runs without approval and
prints nothing. The guard only needs a later journaled record, so the
command changes everywhere it is named.

* test(evals): live autoplan-guard-pty case on the pinned Claude Code

A gate-tier rule case (one trial, haiku) drives an interactive PTY
session with default settings through a project skill that carries
/autoplan's own hook block: init, Phase 1 entry, a CEO reviewer dispatch
that sends run_in_background, a prepared close packet, the report
published with the no-op, and the Phase 2 entry in a later message. It
reads outcomes from the guard decision log (three verified allows) and
fails if the no-op raises a permission card; other cards are approved and
printed.

* fix(autoplan): bounded, append-tolerant owned-journal read (A2)

The publication guard no longer reads the whole parent journal or refuses
it at 32 MiB. lib/claude-owned-journal.ts streams the bytes present at open
to the last complete line (pass one), keeps a content-free index per record
and decides ownership, ancestry and causal order on it with the same checks
and reason codes as before. Pass two reloads in full only what the
evaluation reads (autoplan/bin/guard-journal.ts): every literal init and its
result, the current call, and inside the invocation window (from the latest
human turn at or before the bound chain's first init) guarded and
close-packet Read results, structured Bash results, error results, assistant
text after the first close Read and active-plan mutations, plus the earlier
Read a dedup reply cites even before the window (ENG-4).

- lib/claude-journal-records.ts: per-record event extraction, record
  metadata and the causal-order checks, shared by readPlanCountTranscript
  and the bounded reader. The batch reader keeps its whole-file read and cap.
- Appends after open never fail a read; same device and inode and no
  shrink are required (identity). A second read in one hook invocation must
  hash bytes [0, first size) the same, or it is `rewritten` (UC1 unverified);
  the unrecognized-shape double read uses that prefix hash. `changing` is
  removed (REMOVED_CODES; its anchor stays).
- OWNED_RECORD_MAX_BYTES (32 MiB): only one record over it is too_large.
  OWNED_RETAINED_MAX_BYTES (32 MiB): over it is the new oversized_invocation
  fallback denial. GSTACK_TRANSCRIPT_TEST_MAX_BYTES and
  GSTACK_TRANSCRIPT_TEST_RETAINED_BYTES can only lower them.
- ENG-5: evaluation groups uses and results by tool id once (no per-tool
  rescans).

CEO-25 / ENG-5 spike (120 MiB synthetic, 31,242 records, 4 vCPU Linux,
Bun 1.4.2): a full streaming rescan (parse every line, small index, sha256)
took 254-326 ms at 147-161 MiB peak RSS; a pass-one index cache under the
state root (load cached index, verify a 64 KiB tail hash, parse the tail)
took 26-29 ms at 47 MiB. The rescan meets the 1 s budget, so the cache is
not adopted: it would add trusted persistent state and invalidation for no
budget need. A backward tail read cannot prove competing_root or cycle, so
it was not a candidate.

* test(autoplan): journal-read benchmark and its dispatch-only workflow (CEO-2, CEO-6)

scripts/measure-journal-read.ts builds two synthetic 120 MiB parent journals
around a real /autoplan invocation (mixed: ~28k records, most bytes inside
the invocation; large-invocation: ~89k records with a current invocation of
many small records), keeps appending while the guard reads, and measures one
hook call in a fresh process (wall ms, peak RSS). The workflow runs it on
ubuntu-latest and macos-latest on workflow_dispatch only.

* test(evals): autoplan-long-session, a resumed >100 MiB session enters Phase 1

CEO-15 with ENG-6's observer: a real session is compacted, its journal
padded past 100 MiB with owned records before the compact boundary, and
the resumed interactive session runs the scripted phase boundary; the
guard decision log must show a verified Phase 1 allow. A free test proves
that observer on a padded journal through the lower-only bound seams
(the PTY counting reader refuses the same journal), with a sidechain
control that must deny.

+8 28f1385eac v1.91.32.0 fix: Codex works from zsh, free text never enters shell commands, honest failures (#3057)
* fix: sourced helpers locate themselves under zsh (#3024)

Skill blocks source bin/gstack-codex-probe and bin/gstack-egress-lib.sh into
the host's shell. Under zsh (macOS default) BASH_SOURCE is empty, so Codex
model selection resolved /../scripts/... and every outside pass reported
CODEX_MODEL: invalid; the egress lib resolved to the caller's cwd. Resolve
the file once at source time (BASH_SOURCE under bash, %x under zsh), and
replace the bash-only ${!name} indirection in the auth probe. A free test
derives every sourced helper from the generated skills and sources each
under bash and zsh.

* fix: reply and issue templates never pass untrusted text in double quotes (#3046)

greptile-triage's reply APIs posted -f body="<reply text>" while the
templates quote SHAs and diff code in backticks; in double quotes bash ran
each span (replies posted as 'Fixed in .', and diff or reviewer text ran as
a command). The pre-existing-failure issue template and /spec's issue title
had the same shape. All three now go through quoted heredocs. The
generated-bash lint gains untrusted-in-quotes and now also covers runtime
reference docs in skill directories (review/greptile-triage.md).

* fix: a Codex usage limit is its own state, not 'inconclusive; proceeding' (#3051)

The model probe matched only model and broken-install errors, so a usage or
rate limit fell through to MODEL_PROBE_INCONCLUSIVE: Codex's own message
(with the reset time) was dropped, the hint pointed at model config, and
every later skill re-probed for 30 s. The probe now returns
MODEL_QUOTA_EXHAUSTED (exit 4) on a failed, non-timeout call that names a
usage limit, rate limit, insufficient_quota or 429, relays Codex's line
verbatim and caches it for 15 minutes. Preflights map it to
CODEX_MODE: quota_exhausted (missing coverage, no further Codex calls), and
classifyOutsideReview reports a mid-run limit as unavailable (quota) with
its own troubleshooting anchor.

* test: record ship/review union sizes after the quota branch and issue template

* fix: Codex watchdog freezes the command before reaping its children

The bash-native watchdog (stock macOS, no timeout binary) ran pkill -P on
the command's children and then killed the command. Between the two, the
command continued past its killed child and printed output after its
deadline. Stop it first. The test's minimal PATH also lacked pkill, which
the watchdog uses to reap children (stock macOS ships it), so the orphaned
child held stdout open and the capture waited out its sleep.

* fix(autoplan): an oversize session journal is a hard too_large denial, not a retryable identity failure (#3050)

The guard capped journal reads at 32 MiB and reported a longer journal as
'identity', which the hook treats as deny-and-retry. A journal only grows,
so /autoplan could never enter Phase 1 in a long session, and the
troubleshooting row sent people chasing symlinks. Oversize journals now
report too_large as a hard cause that names the size and the supported
fallback (run the reviews by hand or start a new session).

* fix(deps): clear the weekly OSV findings (#3040)

Raise overrides to fixed releases: ip-address 10.7.3 (our own pin was the
vulnerable 10.3.1; reachable through socks in browse's proxy path),
fast-uri 3.1.8, hono 4.13.13, proxy-addr 2.0.8, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
1.31.0, sharp 0.35.5, and in lib/diagram-render dompurify 3.4.16 (bundled
by mermaid) and source-map-js 1.2.2; the render page is rebuilt. Three
advisories without a usable fix get justified, expiring ignores: braces
(build-time only, excalidraw -> sass -> chokidar; a test checks the page
carries no chokidar code), sprintf-js (roarr's constant-format logger) and
katex (needs pre-existing prototype pollution; fix outside mermaid's range).
osv-scanner with the repo config: no issues found.

* fix(autoplan): name a shell-built snapshot init as the cause of the missing-evidence denial (#3045)

The guard binds a phase entry only to a literal snapshot-init Bash call.
When the model resolved the tool path into a variable, chained or piped the
call, init ran and succeeded but the denial said 'Complete the existing
snapshot init step', which reads as already done, so the run gave up. When
no init binds but a Bash call looks like one, the denial now says the shape
cannot be bound and prints the literal re-run (answers reused:true). The
binding rule is unchanged, and the skill says to run init on its own.

* fix(browse): chain reads piped stdin synchronously, so Windows runs the flow (#3039)

On Windows, an awaited Bun.stdin.text() inside the CLI's un-awaited main()
let the process exit 0 before reading stdin: a replayed flow reported
success with nothing sent to the daemon. Read fd 0 synchronously (skipped
for a terminal); empty input now gets the server's usage error and a
non-zero exit.

* fix(browse): clearer config-mismatch refusal and a WebGL note for the macOS GPU flags (#3030)

A plain call refused because another session started the daemon with
--headed/--proxy was told to 'apply --proxy/--headed', flags it never
passed. It now says who started the daemon and offers both remedies. The
BROWSER.md env table notes that the default macOS GPU flags disable WebGL
and that GSTACK_DISABLE_GPU=off restores it for WebGL QA.

* fix(ship): skip Greptile triage when no PR exists yet (#3020)

/ship's first run on a branch dispatched a triage subagent only to learn
there was no PR. Step 10 now checks for a PR inline (gh's 'no pull requests
found') and records that Greptile runs on the PR once it exists; other gh
errors still dispatch so the child can report unavailable.

* fix(router): route only to loaded skills, and say when not to invoke (#3018)

The root router listed every skill and ended 'When in doubt, invoke the
skill'. Current Claude models follow that literally: they tried to invoke
skills a user had turned off in Claude Code's skillOverrides (which gstack's
own disabled_skills render cannot see), and borderline requests tipped into
full workflows. The router now routes only to skills in the session's
available-skills list and names when to answer directly; the CLAUDE.md
routing block skill-start offers says the same.

* fix: spawned sessions never auto-grant consent or publish off the machine (#3016)

Spawned sessions auto-choose the recommended option except for destructive
or irreversible choices. Main already withholds the artifacts-sync consent
prompt from spawned sessions; the remaining gap was any other prompt whose
recommended option grants a consent or syncs data off the machine. Every
spawned directive (skill-start's block, the escape sentence, the Conductor
deny reason and the AUQ-error fallback) now names that as irreversible. A
consent the user already gave interactively stays in force.

* test: fix the spawned-block slice and type the #3045 re-init events

* fix(redact): TypeScript types and JSX expressions are code, not env.kv secrets (#3048)

A credential-named parameter or prop with an unquoted code value
(`session: SessionState,`, `key={turn.requestId + turn.role}`,
`apiKey={settings.apiKey}`) cleared the entropy gate and blocked pushes as
a MEDIUM env.kv finding. One rule replaces the PR's two keyword heuristics:
a value that reads as a code name (no digits, word-like camelCase or dotted
parts) with a code terminator, or a brace expression of such names with no
quoted literal, is source syntax. Paired controls keep firing on quoted,
brace-wrapped, concatenated, YAML-bare and random-letter literals.

* fix(setup): refuse to register a hook that does not parse (#3032)

Claude Code runs gstack's hook shims through /bin/sh; a shim that does not
parse exits 2, which for a PreToolUse hook blocks the tool call in every
session until someone finds the file. Before any hook registration is
healed or written, setup now runs bash -n on each registered shim and a Bun
parse of its TypeScript entry, and stops with the file, line and fix. A
lean rewrite of the PR's idea (one gate block plus a test that runs it).

* fix(browse): Windows runtime roots start the server from the source checkout's bundle (#3026)

On Windows a host runtime root (~/.codex/skills/gstack and the other
env-var hosts) holds file copies of browse/dist and no node_modules, so
its server-node.mjs could not import playwright and every browser skill
died (the module-scope server.ts half was fixed in v1.91.19.0). setup now
records the source checkout in every runtime root's .source-path, and the
CLI runs that checkout's bundle when the adjacent one cannot reach
playwright. Verified by unit layout tests and the Windows CI lane, not
live on Windows.

* fix(copilot): on Windows, run bash blocks in Git for Windows Bash (#3047)

Copilot CLI on Windows ran gstack's extensionless helpers straight from
PowerShell, which opened an app picker, and bare bash can resolve to WSL.
The Copilot tool glossary (rendered into every Copilot skill) now says to
run each bash block in Git for Windows Bash by its full path and never to
translate a block into PowerShell. The PR's PowerShell repair skill and
README section are not taken.

* test: record ship's union size after the Greptile no-PR check

* fix: keep issue numbers out of model-read Copilot text; seed the new routing sentence in the autoplan fixture

* docs: Oct 6 fix-wave plan, reviewed through /autoplan

* fix(autoplan): every oversize-journal path reports too_large with a recovery that keeps the work

Review follow-up to the #3050 fix. The summed batch read and the narrowed
parent loop now report too_large with the real size instead of a plain
error naming a hard-coded 32 MiB. The denial names the size and the cap,
and gives the recovery that keeps work (/context-save, new session,
/context-restore, /autoplan) with a docs anchor. A test seam that can only
lower the cap replaces the 33 MiB fixture.

* test(autoplan): negative controls and more shapes for the shell-built init denial

* fix(redact): decide TS/JSX source syntax by file context, not by value shape

Review follow-up to the #3048 fix. The word-shape heuristic also exempted
real secrets made of words (API_KEY=VelvetRiverOrbitSunset; in a .env).
The scanner now takes the file path (ScanOptions.sourcePath): the pre-push
hook scans the pushed diff per file with its +++ b/ path, and gstack-redact
--from-file passes its path. Only in a TypeScript/JSX file is an unquoted
value after ':' or a JSX brace of names treated as source; the same line in
.env/YAML, or with no path, is scanned as a literal, and the jwt pattern
still fires in .ts files.

* docs: gstack's own CLAUDE.md routing block matches the new router wording

Live check (Claude Code 2.1.284): a skill set to "off" in skillOverrides
is absent from the session's skill list while its sibling is listed, and
both are listed without the override, so 'route only to skills in your
available-skills list' holds.

* fix(sync-gbrain): don't offer a call-graph build for a source with no code pages (#3029)

Step 3.5 offered --dream for any source with pages, including one that
holds only markdown (synced with gbrain's default strategy), where a build
cannot help, and the injected CLAUDE.md guidance told future sessions to run
--dream for any count: 0. On gbrain >= 0.60, code-def for an impossible
symbol answers .status (probed live against gbrain 0.60.96: ready for a
code source, out_of_scope for a markdown-only one). Step 3.5 now probes the
pinned source first, reports the cause instead of asking on out_of_scope,
and keeps today's offer when the probe is unknown (older gbrain, an error).
gstack's own sync uses --strategy code, so the PR's soft-delete claim does
not apply to gstack's path.

* fix(setup): register the hooks that parse, refuse the rest with file:line (#3032)

The landed gate stopped setup before any registration, so one unparseable
hook left every other hook unregistered. On the Claude install the canonical
root is the checkout Claude Code runs hooks from, so there is no staged swap
to abort: setup now registers the hooks that parse, refuses the ones that do
not with file and line, finishes the install and exits non-zero, saying it
is a gstack bug and that a skipped hook keeps running from the checkout.

bin/gstack-hook-check derives its list from setup's _hook_command_path calls
plus the autoplan phase-publication hook (a test keeps them equal), parses
each shim with its shebang's interpreter, and bundles each TypeScript entry
with its local imports (packages external) into a temp dir, so a broken or
missing import, or a missing entry, fails.

Co-authored-by: BenjaminDSmithy <BenjaminDSmithy@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(auto-update): hold an update whose hooks do not parse, before the checkout moves

bin/gstack-session-update fast-forwards the live checkout before setup runs,
and Claude Code runs hooks straight from it, so setup's gate cannot protect
an auto-update. After the Bun floor check the updater extracts the incoming
revision with git archive and runs bin/gstack-hook-check on it; a failure
holds the update like bun-too-old, records hook-does-not-parse with file:line
in the update status, and the next session start says the current hooks keep
running. Fixture-remote tests cover a broken shim, a broken imported module
and a parseable control.

* fix(browse): chain with no flow is a usage error before any daemon boots (#3039)

Empty piped input, a terminal with no arguments, and a readFileSync(0)
error (EAGAIN, EOF) now print the chain usage with the cause and its
troubleshooting link and exit 1 before ensureServer(), instead of sending
an empty argument to a daemon the CLI booted for it. Tests run the real CLI
with no daemon and no browser, plus the stub-daemon flow.

* fix(browse): refuse a runtime-root CLI and checkout server from different builds (#3026)

A Windows runtime root runs the source checkout's Node server bundle through
.source-path. When the root's CLI and the checkout's bundle carry different
browse/dist/.version builds (the checkout was rebuilt without refreshing the
root), the CLI now refuses to start the server with both builds, the
./setup fix and its troubleshooting anchor. Unversioned dev builds are not
called skew.

Co-authored-by: ubay887 <ubay887@users.noreply.github.com>

* ci(windows): real isolated ./setup install, then a piped chain flow through the installed browse

windows-setup-e2e built the checkout but never ran ./setup. It now installs
the codex host into an isolated HOME (a runtime root copy with no
node_modules), then from an unrelated directory pipes a two-command chain
flow at a loopback page into the installed browse and asserts the page text,
and that empty piped input exits 1 with the usage error. Covers the
checkout-bundle path and the piped-stdin path end to end.

* test(lint): free text never enters a generated command (structural rule)

The generated-bash lint's untrusted-in-quotes rule (gh/glab/git/curl text
flags in double quotes only) becomes free-text-placeholder: any <placeholder>
anywhere in any command, in double, single or no quotes, and in heredoc
bodies (quoted or not), unless it is on the reviewed identifier allowlist
(test/helpers/placeholder-allowlist.ts) with the grammar a value must match.
Quoted-only identifiers (URLs, selectors, paths printed by gstack) must sit
inside quotes. Backslash-newline continuations now read as one command, so
a flag and its value on separate lines are still seen together.

* fix: reply, issue and spec text travel as agent-written files, never through a heredoc

Replaces the quoted-heredoc bodies with CEO-12's file mechanism: a bash
block creates a private mktemp file in the project's .gstack/tmp/ (kept out
of git through .git/info/exclude), the agent writes the text with its
file-write tool, and the next block posts with -F body=@file, --body-file
or "$(cat file)". A heredoc ends early at any body line equal to its
delimiter; a file has no such line. When the file was never written the
block refuses with the path and the command to send it by hand, and it
deletes the file after a successful post.

- review/greptile-triage.md: replies; the fetched JSON moves from fixed
  /tmp/greptile_*.json paths to a mktemp directory; REPO and PR are
  re-derived per block instead of read from a previous shell.
- Test-failure issues: title and body files, platform case on
  github/gitlab, assignee only when it is a valid login.
- /spec: one draft file feeds the audit hash, every redaction scan, the
  issue and the archive; the archive no longer expands <title>/<body>
  inside an unquoted heredoc; the decision-log JSON is built by jq from
  files.

Location verified against Claude Code 2.1.284 (Dockerfile.ci pin):
project-local .gstack/tmp is writable under acceptEdits with no prompt and
keeps mode 0600; $TMPDIR and the gstack state root prompt even under
acceptEdits.

* fix(ship): Greptile triage runs only when a PR exists; every other case says why

PR: unknown (gh missing, not logged in, a non-GitHub remote, or a failed
lookup) used to dispatch the triage child anyway. The Step 10 check now
tests gh, its login, the remote and the PR in that order, and every case
but 'PR: exists' skips the dispatch and records
'Greptile: not run (<reason>); runs on the PR once it exists'.

* fix: question-tuning commands carry no free text

The question log took the summary in single quotes and the preference write
took the user's own words; an apostrophe ended the quote and the rest ran as
shell. The summary is now a kebab-case slug (an identifier with a grammar),
and the optional free_text field is no longer passed from skills (the
binary still accepts it).

* fix(cso): Windows finds docker.exe only under known-folder roots and says transport is unsupported (#3028)

On Windows /cso looked for docker only in Git's directory and System32, so
Docker Desktop was never found and the gap read as 'not installed'. It now
resolves Program Files, Program Files (x86) and the Windows directory through
PowerShell's [Environment]::GetFolderPath (not the process environment),
checks each candidate's real path against those roots and rejects reparse
points. lib/cso/docker.ts admits only unix:/// endpoints, so a trusted
docker.exe reports 'native Windows Docker transport is not supported yet;
static assessment only'; one outside the roots is refused as outside the
trusted install locations, not overridable. Both carry an anchor. Native
named-pipe transport is not implemented.

* fix: sourced helpers share one self-locate block and fail loudly when they cannot locate themselves (#3024 rework)

The codex probe and the egress lib now carry one byte-identical block:
BASH_SOURCE under bash or %x under zsh, made absolute with $PWD, else a set
GSTACK_ROOT that holds the helper. Anything else (dash, sh, a shell that
cannot name the file) prints "gstack: cannot locate <helper> (shell: ...)"
with the docs/troubleshooting.md#sourced-helper-location URL and returns
before any bash- or zsh-only syntax. The Claude-only default path and the
$(pwd) fallback are gone.

The generated Codex preflight dot-sources the probe and, when it cannot load,
reports CODEX_MODE: helper_unavailable with the helper's own line instead of
falling through to not_authed. The class guard enumerates nested sources,
makes real resolver, auth, state-root and egress-home calls under bash and
zsh (absolute, relative then cd, bare name via PATH), covers dash and an
unknown shell, runs the full preflight, and lints BASH_SOURCE to the shared
block plus other bash-only constructs.

* fix(cso): a Maven or Gradle repository is Java, not Python (#3028)

With no supported stack metadata, preparation defaulted to Python and asked
a Java repository for requirements.txt. A root pom.xml, build.gradle or
build.gradle.kts now names the stack as Java (unsupported for runtime
preparation, so the prerequisite says so), and Python helper scripts or a
root requirements.txt beside it no longer make it Python.

* fix(browse): BROWSER.md says plainly how to enable WebGL; the mismatch refusal links Daemon discipline (#3030)

The GSTACK_DISABLE_GPU row now states the effect and the switch: set
GSTACK_DISABLE_GPU=off to enable WebGL (off is the only recognized value).
The reworded config-mismatch refusal links BROWSER.md's Daemon discipline
section. Free tests pin both.

* test(windows): name the B2, B4, B5 and B12 tests in the curated Windows lane

The runtime-root bundle tests lived in browse/test/config.test.ts and the
Copilot glossary test in test/host-config.test.ts, both excluded from the
Windows lane, so the two Windows-only fixes were never checked on Windows.
Move each into its own Windows-safe file (unchanged assertions) and list it,
the piped-stdin chain test and the /cso docker.exe discovery test as named
Windows coverage in scripts/lib/windows-curation.ts.

* fix: the free-text block exits loudly when mktemp fails; spec and redact tests follow the file mechanism

The redact resolver test, the #2679 mktemp guard test, the /spec invariant
and the spec secret-sink harness pinned the heredoc transport. They now pin
the agent-written file: the harness runs the draft-file block, writes the
draft the way the file-write tool would, then runs the real scan fence, with
every HIGH/MEDIUM/scanner-failure assertion unchanged.

* test: hostile payloads through the generated posting blocks, identifier grammars, every quoting shape

- The lint reads a whole command, so an unquoted multi-word placeholder is
  caught; negative controls cover double, single and no quotes, quoted and
  unquoted heredocs, continuation lines, and quoted-only identifiers used
  unquoted.
- Every allowlisted grammar rejects quote-breaking characters (and shell
  operators and whitespace when used unquoted); git accepts 'fix;id' and
  'fix`id`' as branch names, the ref grammar does not.
- Greptile replies, test-failure issues (GitHub and GitLab) and /spec filing
  and archive run from the real generated text with stub gh/glab: a body
  with backticks, $(...), an apostrophe and lines equal to EOF and the old
  heredoc delimiters arrives byte for byte, nothing in it runs, and the temp
  file is gone. An unwritten file is refused with its path and the manual
  command, and nothing is sent.

* test(ship): the PR check precedes the Greptile dispatch, and each skip names its reason

Runs Step 10's generated check against stub gh for gh missing, not logged
in, a non-GitHub remote, no PR, a failed lookup and an existing PR. Fails on
the previous text (which printed PR: unknown and dispatched).

* feat(ship): ship-measure runner for the measure-then-fix loop (A6)

scripts/ship-measure.ts owns /ship's diagnostic measurement of a red eval
case: per-kind aggregation (rule trials; behavior panels of 3, each at its
own 2 of 3 plus 90% of trials; judge outputs scored by 3-sample panels,
standalone judge ids accepted), one artifact directory per baseline,
repair round and trial, a diagnostic label with verdict null that refuses
the eval history dir, an estimated admission budget that reserves every
concurrent trial and reconciles actual cost, the ask-once rule, the
repair-round limit, the unmeasured skip and the per-case PR table.

Free-suite flakes (CEO-1): 'free' reruns one shard's exact file list N
times, rerun 1 alone as the baseline and the rest in parallel at
max(1, floor(cores / shard concurrency)), each with its own HOME, state
root and flake ledger, GSTACK_FREE_RETRY_FLAKY=0, under a wall cap that
reports a partial count. test:ubicloud --diagnostic runs the same on one
VM with the retry off.

bin/gstack-config gains the DX-7 keys with their CEO-9 defaults and
rejecting validators. Free tests drive every kind, the budget stop, the
unmeasured skip and the free reruns with fake runners.

* fix: a Codex usage limit is quota_exhausted, a plain 429 is rate_limited, and only Codex's own error lines count (#3051 rework)

The probe's quota signature used to treat any rate limit, "too many
requests" or 429 as quota, and read the whole output, which echoes the
prompt. Now only Codex's trailing ERROR: / stream error lines are read.
A usage-limit or insufficient_quota line is MODEL_QUOTA_EXHAUSTED (exit 4,
cached 15 minutes; quota wins over a 429 that names insufficient_quota); a
plain 429 is MODEL_PROBE_RATE_LIMITED (exit 0, state rate_limited, never
cached), reported as CODEX_MODE: unverified (rate_limited) so the review
still runs and decides.

The quota HINT says how many minutes gstack skips Codex and how to retry
now (GSTACK_CODEX_PROBE_RETRY=1 skips the negative cache for that probe, or
delete <state root>/.codex-model-probe), with the full troubleshooting URL.
classifyOutsideReview reads the same trailing lines: a mid-review quota is
unavailable (quota_exhausted), a mid-review 429 unavailable (rate_limited).
New gate row rate_limited and docs anchor codex-rate-limited; the quota row
documents the retry. Tests cover each line shape, the echoed prompt, exit
0, timeout, retry recovery, probe/classifier parity, and two fresh-shell
preflight blocks where the second makes no paid Codex call.

* ci: the eval image installs zsh, and the macOS lane sources the Codex probe from zsh

Dockerfile.ci adds zsh so the sourced-helper guard runs (and fails loudly
when zsh is missing) inside the eval container too. The macOS named
regressions job sources bin/gstack-codex-probe from zsh in an unrelated
directory and runs _gstack_codex_select_model exec (no paid call), then runs
the sourced-helper guard on the macOS runner. A free test pins both lanes and
runs the macOS step's script locally.

* test: deterministic regression for the Codex watchdog freezing the command before reaping its children

The existing stubborn-child test caught the reap-then-kill race only some of
the time (2 of 3 runs on the pre-fix watchdog). A pkill that sleeps after
reaping widens the window between reaping the children and killing the
command, so a watchdog that does not SIGSTOP the command first always lets
it print "late" after the deadline. Fails 3 of 3 on the pre-fix watchdog,
passes 3 of 3 on the current one.

* test: live codex smokes run codex in a private HOME and CODEX_HOME

codex-resume-flag-semantics and codex-e2e-sol-scope probe the codex CLI (the
latter at module load, in every free run), and every codex run writes
$CODEX_HOME/tmp/arg0, so with a real codex on PATH they wrote into the
developer's ~/.codex. Both now give codex a private HOME and CODEX_HOME and
remove it afterwards. A free test runs each file against a stub codex that
records HOME and CODEX_HOME and asserts neither is the caller's.

* feat(ship): a red eval runs classify, measure, fix, re-measure, gate once (A6)

Step 6 no longer stops at the first red paid eval: it reads the new lazily
loaded measure section and runs the loop for each red case, and Step 5
measures a failed free-suite shard (diagnostic reruns, retry off) before
the triage can call it pre-existing. The section states the diagnostic-
not-verdict rule, the per-kind table, the ask-once and named-red stops,
the unmeasured label and the honest-fix wording (observed k/n after fix
at <cause>). A free test pins the steps and their order in the generated
skill and checks every command and flag it names exists in the runner.

Ship's parity cap rises to 1.455 (measured 272,944 / 187,706 = 1.4541).

* docs(testing): diagnostic measurement is not a verdict; per-kind measure table (A6)

* test(ship): seeded-flake paid case for the measure loop (A6, periodic, behavior)

A fixture repo with no remote documents a single-case eval command and a
gate command, both free local stubs. queue-priorities claims trial slots
with atomic mkdir (reset per ship-measure round) and fails slots 2, 5 and
9 while src/priorities.js leaves its seed-shuffled list unsorted, printing
failure_cause and failure_detail that name the line. The paid case gives
/ship's generated Step 6 and measure section to a live session and asserts
it measured the case alone, fixed the named line without touching the
eval, re-measured at least 10 passing trials on the sorted file, and only
then ran the gate once; any question other than the spend question is a
contract violation.

A free test measures the fixture through the real ship-measure CLI: 7/10
unsorted, 7/10 after an unrelated edit with the gate still red (ENG-13's
negative control), 10/10 after the sort with the gate green.

* test(cso): the missing-scanner case points Docker at a dead socket

'an optional scanner prerequisite does not turn completed manual coverage
partial' assumed no usable Docker. On a machine with Docker and a pulled
gitleaks image the scan completed and the test failed (also on main). The
scan step now gets a DOCKER_HOST that cannot connect, which is the
prerequisite-missing condition the test describes.

* fix: Aside prompts travel as agent-written files, never inside the command

The open-ended reading recipe (browse, devex-review), scrape's fuzzy-intent
read and the shared web-research block put the model's question, query and
reply format inside a double-quoted _aside_exec argument, where backticks and
$(...) from page or repo text would run. The agent now writes the prompt into
a private .gstack/tmp file; the send block rebuilds the path from the printed
basename, refuses when the file is empty, and passes "$(cat "$PROMPT_FILE")".
The fixed read-only sentence stays in the shell source.

aside-driver pins move from the inline prompt to the file-based send block.

* fix: design briefs and approval feedback travel as agent-written files

Design briefs went into $D variants/generate/check as a double-quoted
argument, and approval feedback was spliced into a single-quoted echo of JSON,
so a quote, backtick or $(...) in either broke the command or ran. The agent
now writes each brief into a private .gstack/tmp file and the block passes
--brief "$(cat "$BRIEF_FILE")" (the CLI's --brief-file expects a JSON
brief, so plain text uses --brief). variants and the later check reuse the
same brief file. approved.json is built with jq -n from --arg values and
--rawfile feedback, so the feedback is data. The office-hours mockup flow
creates its brief and feedback files in one block.

design-approval-flow now writes the feedback file (with quotes, backticks and
$(...) in it) instead of substituting <FEEDBACK>, and checks the file is
removed after the save.

* fix: carve office-hours on every host to stay under the 160,000-byte ceiling

With its brief, feedback and research prompts moved into files, the inlined
office-hours render is 161,329 bytes on Codex and 160,302 on Factory, over
SKILL_BYTE_CEILING, so gen-skill-docs --host all fails. Per the C4 policy
(carve every skill whose external render exceeds the ceiling), office-hours
joins ship and plan-ceo-review in CARVED_ON_EVERY_HOST. The Claude render is
unchanged; external hosts read its sections relative to the installed skill.
external-host-carve and qa-lazy-sections now include office-hours in their
carved-skill lists.

* chore: regenerate after the free-text mktemp guard

* fix(codex): prompts and review focus travel as agent-written files

Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com>

Challenge and consult prompts, and the /codex review focus text, are written
by the agent into private .gstack/tmp files and fed to Codex on stdin or read
back with cat; no heredoc carries them. Consult's new and resumed runs share
one block (and one parser) so no placeholder stands in for the parser; a
resumed run reads its session id from .context/codex-session-id and checks it.
Adds the A3 group 2 placeholder allowlist block.

* fix(land-and-deploy): PR head repository and branch travel as data

Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com>

The branch check reads headRepository/headRefName from gh's JSON into quoted
shell variables; ls-remote, the confirm-first delete and the local delete use
those variables instead of model-substituted names. The postfail test now pins
the variable form it replaces.

* fix(ship): PR body drafts and rejected test paths are agent-written files

Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com>

The PR body is written into two private drafts (through ## Documentation, and
from ## Test plan on); the scan block splices Step 14.5's section between them
into the scanned temp file and deletes the drafts. Rejected test paths are read
from a written list, and paths outside the repository are skipped. Tests that
ran the old heredoc blocks now write the drafts and list first.

* fix(sync-gbrain): orchestrator flags must match an allowlisted grammar

Co-authored-by: dgrant <dgrant@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix: the gbrain page save and external-host placeholders pass the free-text rule

The gbrain save block passed the whole page through a quoted heredoc inside
--content; the agent now writes it to a mktemp file and gbrain put reads it
on stdin. The Claude Code outside-voice runtime root and session mode, and
the feature slug, join the allowlist with grammars; unused entries are
dropped, and a test keeps every allowlisted placeholder tied to a real use.

* fix: skill-specific Aside research queries travel as prompt files

investigate, office-hours, plan-ceo-review, review, plan-eng-review,
design-consultation Phase 2, the shared test bootstrap (B2) and QA's test
bootstrap each carried their own _aside_exec call with the model-filled query
inside a double-quoted argument. Skills that already carry the Web research
block now give only the prompt-file text and use that block to create, write
and send it; design-consultation, the shared bootstrap and QA create the file
and send it with the new {{ASIDE_RESEARCH_SEND}} resolver, which is the same
send block the research section uses (read-only sentence stays in the shell).

aside-driver's B2 pin and qa-browser-preservation's bootstrap contract move
from the inline call to the prompt file and the shared send resolver.

* fix: prose design commands pass briefs and feedback as data

The DESIGN_SETUP command list taught `iterate --feedback "..."`, and
design-consultation's late-change and plan-design-review's slop-regenerate
lines showed `--feedback "<feedback>"` / `"..."`; design-shotgun's retry
showed `generate --brief "<brief>"` and `evolve --brief "<brief>"`. Feedback
now reads "$(cat "$FEEDBACK_FILE")" from an agent-written mktemp file
(the setup note says how), and the shotgun retry reads the variant's own brief
out of briefs.json with jq instead of retyping it.

* test: record parity sizes after the free-text file mechanism; refresh ship goldens

Measured union and skeleton sizes for ship, plan-eng-review,
plan-design-review, office-hours, design-consultation, review, qa, browse
and design-shotgun after every posting, prompt and brief site moved to
agent-written mktemp files; the ship goldens pick up the question-tuning
slug and the dropped free_text field.

* test: parity caps for the combined wave head (rounded up past the measured ratio)

* fix(plan-ceo-review): the mode handoff helper reminds the model to lead its chat with the line (#3038)

Periodic run 37272185151's auto-decide-preserved red replays as the Step 0E
handoff-line class: the model ran gstack-ceo-mode-handoff --auto, got the
exact line, then opened its chat with a heading and a paraphrase, so the
user never saw the auto-decide line (the terminal collapses tool output)
and the detector saw no outcome. The helper now prints a one-line reminder
on stderr beside the line; the detector accepts the line followed by that
reminder and nothing else. The ship Greptile check test reads its template
(test-of-test ratchet).

* test: every troubleshooting link in shipped code resolves, relative or full URL

* docs(todos): Oct 6 fix-wave follow-ups

* v1.91.32.0 release notes: Codex works from zsh, free text never enters shell commands, honest failures

* fix(plan-ceo-review): show the mode handoff line through a PostToolUse hook, not model compliance (#3038)

The stderr reminder beside the handoff line measured 1/10 on
auto-decide-preserved: the model still opened its chat with a paraphrase
('I've set review mode to HOLD SCOPE...'), so the user never saw the line and
the detector saw no outcome. /plan-ceo-review now declares a Claude-only
PostToolUse hook that shows the helper's exact line as a system message.
Diagnostic measurement on this head: 10/10, the line visible in every trial
while no trial's chat led with it. The reminder is reverted.

* fix: type the handoff hook's line filter

* fix: repairs from the integrated free suite

- The self-locate markers looked like heredocs to the pipe-deadlock guard;
  they are plain comment fences now.
- The spawned block keeps the canonical 'conservative non-destructive'
  phrase the cross-surface drift guard pins.
- The free-text block's mktemp refusal says 'mktemp failed', as every
  /codex temp file must.
- The batch transcript read reports sizes in MiB.
- docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md gets a real 'Ship measure' heading for its
  anchor.
- The early-question harness admits /plan-ceo-review's handoff hook by its
  exact command (it only adds a system message); any other PostToolUse Bash
  hook is still refused.
- Paid file count and the unconsumed-file example follow the new seeded
  case; ship goldens refreshed.
- The CSO scanner test points Docker at a dead socket, so a machine with the
  pulled image does not scan.

* test(cso): a host with no Docker binary is also a no-scan host

The missing-image scan test failed on a Docker-less VM (docker is not
installed in a trusted directory). Every accepted message is a reason the
scan cannot run here; the not_assessed, helper-owned artifact assertions are
unchanged.

* ci: split the USERPROFILE assignment from export (SC2155)

* fix(browse): Windows runtime roots read .source-path as a native path (#3026)

The new windows-setup-e2e journey showed the installed browse could not
start its server. setup runs under Git Bash and wrote .source-path as an
MSYS path (/d/a/gstack); Node read it as \d\a\gstack on the current drive,
found nothing, and fell back to the root's own bundle, which cannot import
playwright. setup now writes cygpath -m, and the CLI maps an MSYS drive path
for installs written by an older setup. The journey prints the daemon and
startup logs when the chain fails.

* fix(ship-measure): defects from the parallel #3034 plan review

- A trial passes only with a JUnit testcase that executed and passed; a
  --case that selected nothing also exits 0.
- measure runs a no-cost --list preflight that must plan the case's own
  file before any paid trial.
- Diagnostic trials drop EVALS_CACHE_DIR/EVALS_CACHE_RUNTIME_ID, so they
  never reuse a stored judge pass or publish one the gate could reuse.
- Gate once: when CI runs the gate on push, the push is the gate run; the
  skill no longer also starts eval:bg:pr (a second paid gate).
- ubi-runner: down fails unless the VM is confirmed gone, and nothing
  sweeps other runners' VMs by default (UBI_GC_HOURS opt-in).

* test(windows): the seeded-flake fixture drives a POSIX shell stub, so it stays off the Windows lane

CreateProcess cannot exec the fixture's ./evals.sh shebang script (status
null on windows-free-shard 6). The measure runner is covered on Windows by
ship-measure.test.ts, which uses in-process fake runners.

* fix: the free-text block refuses an unset temp dir instead of writing at /

The rendered block ran mktemp "$_GT/..." with _GT unset in the portability
test; on Linux that fails at /, but Git Bash on Windows can write to its
install root, so the block went on (windows-free-shard 3). It now uses
${_GT:?}, so an unset directory always fails closed with the mktemp
message.

* test: pin the guarded ${_GT:?} temp-file form

* test: the Greptile check's gh stub uses a portable shebang

On Windows the absolute bash path has a space, so the stub never ran and
every case read 'gh not logged in' (windows-free-shard 1).

* test: the Greptile check runs with the native PATH and the gh stub first

The PATH-only stub bin could not run its stub on Windows (every case read
'gh not logged in'). Stub cases now keep the real PATH with the stub first;
only the no-gh case drops directories holding a real gh.

Garry Tan 55fbe77195 v1.91.24.0 test: audit wave — PR evals keep finished work, honest ceilings, EVAL_POLICY v2, faster free suite (#3031)
* chore(scripts): retire hollow and legacy paid package scripts behind one-release stubs (W8a, DX-4, CEO-31)

test:codex*, test:evals*, test:e2e*, test:gate, test:periodic, eval:bg,
eval:bg:all, eval:flake-rank, eval:watch and test:audit now print their
replacement and exit 1 via scripts/retired-command.ts. CONTRIBUTING.md
carries the same table; test/retired-commands.test.ts pins both. Eval CLI
empty-state hints point at eval:bg:pr.

* chore: delete dead update-readme-throughput, eval-watch, orphan fixtures and QA_FUNCTIONAL_INPUTS (W8b, CEO-24)

Retired with named behavior:
- update-readme-throughput.ts + readme-throughput test: replaced a README
  anchor that no longer exists from a JSON file that was never produced;
  the script was a no-op. Guarantee withdrawn (nothing to protect).
- eval-watch.ts + its dashboard tests: rendered ~/.gstack-dev/e2e-live.json
  and _partial-e2e.json, written only by unsharded runs, so it showed
  nothing for every supported (sharded) entry point. Guarantee withdrawn;
  live progress is the gstack-detach log or gh run watch. Manual-review
  rendering stays covered by eval-list and eval-summary tests.
- Orphan fixtures (autoplan-pending-artifact-ae.json, autoplan-existing-app/,
  autoplan-sign-in-ui/, parity baselines v1.47.0.0/v1.57.7.0/v1.69.1.0):
  no test, touchfile or script reads them; superseded baselines stay in
  git history.
- QA_FUNCTIONAL_INPUTS: exported, never imported.

* refactor(test-free): delete dead WORKER_HOSTILE list and buildShardArgs parallel mode

Neither had a production caller: full-suite mode runs shard processes, so the
worker quarantine was inert and --parallel was never passed (W8b).

* docs(test-value): narrow prompt-byte contract to machine-read tokens (D2)

Define prompt-byte contract as machine-read tokens (markers, field names,
command lines, enum values, file paths, security-boundary strings) and add a
sentence-pin glossary entry: convert to structural checks or delete when a
behavioral eval covers the behavior.

* test(ratchet): count free tests that slice a paid test's source

A free test that binds readFileSync(<paid test file>) and cuts it with
.slice() tests the paid harness's code out of context even when it imports a
lib/ symbol. Record the 15 existing files with reasons; new ones fail with fix
text. Self-test covers positive and negative shapes.

* test(browse): un-quarantine compare-board; all 16 board tests pass headless (W8d, CEO-24)

The GSTACK_COMPARE_BOARD_TESTS opt-in hid a headless mismatch that no
longer reproduces: all 16 tests pass on Bun 1.4.0 with the bundled
headless Chromium, solo, repeated, and beside other in-process browser
files. Protected behavior (the comparison-board DOM contract the
plan-design-review/office-hours/design-consultation feedback loop polls)
is checked on every free run again.

* test: replace silent existsSync early returns with explicit skips or assertions (W8d)

- browse/test/build.test.ts: server-node.mjs checks skip only when the
  bundle is absent and GSTACK_EXPECT_BINARIES is unset; the free CI lane
  and test:ubicloud build it and set the flag, so a dropped build step
  fails with the build command instead of passing with no assertions.
- gstack-update-check: VERSION is tracked; the guard could only hide a bug.
- gen-skill-docs host leakage/frontmatter checks assert the host tree
  exists (the module-level render always produces it).
- cso-docker staged-runtime test uses test.skipIf so reports show it as
  skipped, not passed.

* test(ship): convert ship-workflow-clarity sentence pins to structural checks

Add test/helpers/prompt-structure.ts (between, expectTokens, expectAbsent,
expectOrdered, expectMentions) with fix text on failure. ship-workflow-clarity
now pins headings, step order and machine-read tokens (commands, fields, enum
and status strings); safety rules are meaning-level keyword checks. Wording is
judged by the 'ship/SKILL.md workflow' judge in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 90 -> 0.

* ci: add platform-qualification lane for opt-in ML, gitleaks and Swift tests (W8d, CEO-24)

security-bench + security-live-playwright L4 (SECURITY_BENCH), the real
gitleaks 8.30.1 memory-ingest cases (GSTACK_TEST_GITLEAKS) and the
DebugBridge Swift build invariants (GSTACK_TEST_SWIFT) self-skip in every
lane today. No scheduled lane has their prerequisites, so per CEO-24 they
move to an owned dispatch + quarterly workflow instead of being deleted.
Each job was run locally (ML 10 pass, gitleaks 130 pass; Swift needs
macOS). test/platform-qualification-workflow.test.ts pins gate variable,
job and file together.

* fix(scripts): capture-baseline and preflight-agent-sdk no longer act on --help or typos (W8e)

capture-baseline parses its flags strictly: --help prints usage, an unknown
or valueless flag exits 2, and only a valid invocation writes a fixture
(--help used to write test/fixtures/parity-baseline-current.json).
preflight-agent-sdk gains --help, rejects unknown flags, and runs the live
SDK query (API spend) only with --live.

* test(evals): register the three keyless periodic paid files with case ids (W1b)

skill-e2e-auq-consistency, skill-e2e-auq-verbose-vs-carved-ab and
codex-e2e-recommendation-substance now carry touchfiles, a periodic tier and
kind rule (one trial, unchanged), so editing one selects its own case instead
of restoring the full PR gate. The verbose A/B case also registers the vendored
pre-cut fixture it reads, and review-army-migration-safety registers the SQL
fixture it reads.

* feat(evals): narrow PR fallback for free-only inputs (W1a, CEO-13/20, ENG-13)

The PR profile now exempts the duration seeds, every free-lane workflow
(explicit list; inventory test fails on an unclassified workflow, .yaml
and workflow_call included), scripts/ubicloud/** and fixtures declared in
the explicit FREE_FIXTURES map. Each remaining unknown file carries a label
and fix (needs touchfile entry / add to FREE_ONLY_PR_FILES / real unknown
dependency). evals.yml itself still restores the full gate.

* ci: delete ci-image.yml; the eval workflows already build and push the same content-hash tag (W8f)

evals.yml, evals-periodic.yml and evals-marathon.yml each compute the
identical hashFiles() tag and build/push it (with :buildcache and :latest)
when missing, so ci-image's push trigger and weekly cron were no-ops
(30-day median 0.5 min, 36/36 success). ci-image-tag-binding now pins the
three eval workflows.

* ci(evals): key periodic/marathon concurrency on ref+event; branch periodic dispatch skips the gate census (W2a, ENG-9, CEO-04)

* refactor(paid): drop ~160 unused imports; leaf paid-types/paid-select modules break the paid-* import cycle (W8c)

* ci(quality-gate): per-PR concurrency, free runner, drop unscoped bun audit (W2a, W8f)

- Concurrency keys on pull_request.number || run_id, so back-to-back main
  pushes no longer cancel each other's credential scan.
- ubuntu-24.04 instead of a billed 8-vCPU Ubicloud runner for a ~1 min job.
- bun audit --audit-level=critical ran on every PR regardless of diff, so a
  newly published advisory turned unrelated PRs red, with its own ignore
  policy. dependency-review (lockfile PRs, fail >= high) and the weekly OSV
  sweep remain the dependency gates.

* chore(test-free): refresh the free duration seed from the audit's Ubicloud recording

Adds the 19 files merged after the last refresh, including the 115 s
claude-overlay-setup that packed as ~1 s and doubled a shard (W6a). The seed
is re-recorded on the final tree at the end of this wave.

* ci: move tiny ubicloud-standard-2 jobs to free ubuntu-24.04 runners (W8f)

actionlint, skill-docs, dependency-review, version-gate and pr-title-sync
are sub-minute jobs; GitHub-hosted runners are free for this public repo.

* feat(test-free): pessimistic unseeded packing, seed growth ratchet and CI health summary

- Unseeded files pack at the seed's p99 instead of p75 (W6a).
- --ci-plan warns in the job summary past 5 unseeded files; --ci-verify
  lists shards that outran their prediction by 1.5x (and 30 s) plus every
  flaky pass absorbed by the serial retry (W6a, W7a job summary).
- test/free-seed-ratchet.test.ts fails when a seeded file over 60 s is not
  on scripts/free-test-seed-allowlist.json, when an entry is stale, and when
  the allowlist grows versus its merge-base copy unless the new entry is an
  annotated exception with a todo (CEO-10, DX-7). free-plan runs it with
  full history so the shrink check is real in the required lane.
- Every message names the fix command and docs anchor (DX-6).

* feat(evals): state PR coverage mode, counts, reuse and fallback files in the summary and comment (CEO-13)

* test: make the tracked-tree skill-doc freshness check local-only; tidy skill-docs header (W8f)

Every free CI shard regenerates the tracked SKILL.md files before running
tests, so the --dry-run freshness assertion compared the regenerated tree
with itself and could not fail there. It now skips under GitHub Actions;
skill-docs.yml's git diff --exit-code is CI's freshness gate. Removes a
stale concurrency comment in skill-docs.yml.

* ci(free-tests): install zsh so the bash+zsh portability arms run (W6f)

~42 zsh-arm tests (aside-probe-shell, qa-browser-preservation,
generated-docs-fences) skipped in CI because zsh is not in the runner image.
All 141 tests in those files pass with zsh present.

* feat(evals): executors write negative receipts at the execution boundary (CEO-25, ENG-6)

A completed single-trial rule/judge shard that did not pass now writes its
negative receipt beside the pass receipts in the slice artifact, so a
cancelled run's FAIL still blocks an older PASS when its report never runs.
Receipts merge negatives first and order by (run attempt, completedAt); a
same-second FAIL/PASS tie resolves to FAIL. The runner call site is a
one-line hunk in scripts/test-paid-shards.ts.

* docs(cso): state that contained runtime/scanner execution is unavailable today

The scanner catalog is empty while its build inputs await review and the
runtime catalog holds no qualified profile until the private evaluator
exists, so /cso runs static assessment only. AGENTS.md, README and
docs/cso-release-qualification.md now say so; docs/cso-scanners.md
already did.

* test(helpers): expectMentions splits on sentence ends only

Clauses joined by ';' or ':' are one rule; splitting there made a reworded
rule fail for punctuation.

* test(plan-ceo): convert skill-ceo-section-ordering sentence pins

Safety and authority rules (never/do not/stop/only/without/wait/approval) are
meaning-level expectMentions checks; other sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, option rows, placeholders and machine-read lines (auto-decide
annotation, Mode:/approved decisions format, STATUS/SOURCE fields,
CROSS-MODEL marker, gstack-ceo-mode-handoff) stay as tokens; ordering checks
unchanged. Behavior is covered by the periodic PTY case in
skill-e2e-plan-ceo-review-section-loading.test.ts.
Sentence pins: 210 -> 23.

* test(helpers): expectMentions treats wrapped lines as one sentence

Templates hard-wrap prose; only sentence ends and blank lines separate rules.

* test(gen-skill-docs): convert sentence pins to meaning checks or drop them

Safety/authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks; other English
sentences are dropped (wording is judged by the per-skill workflow judges in
skill-llm-eval and the E2E cases in touchfiles-data). Commands, config keys,
markers (PLAN MODE EXCEPTION, NO UNRESOLVED DECISIONS, Gate outcome), field
names and alternation-based meaning regexes stay. Removed the now-empty
'contains opt-in AskUserQuestion text' test (only pinned a sentence; the
resolver's AskUserQuestion wiring is covered by the codex second-opinion
tests in the same describe). Lane E's existsSync hunks are untouched.
Sentence pins: 216 -> 65 (remaining lines carry machine tokens).

* ci(windows): shard the Windows lane via --ci-plan/--ci-run/--ci-verify; move native campaigns to native-qualification.yml

- windows-free-tests.yml: a Linux plan job curates and packs the Windows-safe
  files into 6 shards, one strict serial shard per windows-latest job, and a
  Linux aggregate verifies exact coverage and every result (8.1 min on one
  runner today). --windows-only now combines with the CI modes; the plan binds
  the curated file set (W6e).
- Every Windows plan and --list run prints the curated count with its top
  exclusion reasons in the job summary; a free ratchet fails when the curated
  subset drops below its floor, with the fix (W6e).
- The four Dia/cookie diagnostic dispatch campaigns move to the dispatch-only
  native-qualification.yml with one exclusive `mode` choice input, so their
  red dispatch runs no longer read as a red PR lane (W8f). Their workflow pins
  move to test/windows-native-workflows.test.ts; the boolean-exclusivity
  guard is replaced by the choice input.

* feat(paid): per-slice CI job ceilings and an in-process slice deadline with not_run/hung outcomes and checkpoints (W2c, ENG-2)

* fix(pass-rates): segment trial history strictly by EVAL_POLICY version

Reader-compatibility floor for EVAL_POLICY v2 (ENG-14/CEO-35/DX-12). Only
trials under the reader's own policy version feed labels and alarms; older
policy trials stay visible but are never scored or used as a drift baseline;
trials from a newer policy are ignored with a printed count and fix text.
Reverting the later v2 writer commits leaves a reader that cannot pool v2
records into v1 series (the pre-PR reader at 2db0b3a does: it reports a
mixed fixture as FAILING with drift alarms).

* docs: one contributor command table; retired commands, seed sources and current workflows (W8g, DX-5, DX-13, CEO-12)

- CONTRIBUTING.md gains 'Which command do I run?' (task -> command ->
  cost/time -> needs, including branch validation via gh workflow run);
  CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and TESTING_INTERNALS.md link to it instead of
  repeating command lists. Tier tables drop retired commands and stale
  per-run dollar estimates.
- Retired names (test:evals, test:e2e, eval:bg, eval:flake-rank, eval:watch,
  ...) are gone from CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, TESTING_INTERNALS.md,
  ARCHITECTURE.md and USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK.md.
- The flake-ledger claim now says what happens: CI uploads flake-ledger-*
  artifacts; eval:pass-rates reads only the local ledger.
- TESTING_INTERNALS states that only test:ubicloud --record-durations
  produces an acceptable duration seed (DX-13).
- CI section: quality gate no longer runs bun audit; dependency-review's
  real trigger; the platform-qualification lane.
- docs/test-audit-2026-09.md gets a corrections section for its stale claims.
- TODOS.md: audit follow-ups (post-merge metrics, stub removal, name reclaim,
  diff-aware planner); eval-watch shard-awareness and the image freshness
  tripwire closed as won't-do.

* feat(evals): recover receipts of cancelled PR runs (W1c, CEO-14/34, ENG-4/5/7)

A new recover-receipts job runs base-ref code with actions: read, restores
the PR's store, merges the receipts of completed cancelled evals.yml runs
for this PR (provenance-checked, at most 5, oldest first, negatives first),
reconstructs completed panel negatives with panelVerdict() (partial panels
get no credit) and keeps a recovery.json checkpoint that never advances past
an unresolved run. plan-slices keeps contents: read, takes the store as an
artifact, turns reuse off when recovery degraded or a run is unresolved, and
carries the whole store to slices-report so nothing is lost. Any gh problem
degrades to no recovered receipts with a named reason.

* feat(evals): classify this wave's free-only tools and workflows for PR selection

platform-qualification.yml, retired-command.ts, test-health-report.ts,
bump-harness-version.ts and eval-bg.ts never run inside a paid case.

* feat(evals): debounce PR push bursts before planning paid slices (W1d, CEO-15, ENG-11, DX-7)

A tiny ubuntu-24.04 job waits 90 s only on synchronize when another run for
the PR started in the last 15 minutes; cancel-in-progress supersedes, and a
run that outlives the wait reports "superseded by <sha>" and plans nothing.
Labels: evals-no-debounce skips the wait, evals-fresh disables receipt reuse.

* perf(test): move the real-process browser settlement cases out of test-free-shards.test.ts (W6b)

The 19 owned-browser settlement modes were 85 s of the file's 95 s and could
not be packed apart from the fast runner unit cases. They move to a shared
fixture with two files (lifecycle 47 s, ownership 39 s); the unit file drops
to 10 s. Same modes, same assertions.

* chore(evals): delete the finished validation_phase dispatch and its inline planner (W8f)

Retirement (CEO-24): the protected behavior was a one-off cookie-repair
validation subset (eight dependent cases) and a quality/behavior split of
the census; that validation is complete, so the guarantee is withdrawn.
Branch validation dispatches evals.yml with evals_all.

* perf(test): inject the office-hours record grace in non-cooperative deadline tests

* perf(test): shrink aside-render process slack via GSTACK_RENDER_SLACK_MS in timeout tests

* perf(test): make the memorable lock give-up configurable for lock-contention tests

* perf(test): check install-timeout knob normalization through its own setup lines

* perf(test): inject a 2 s storage-reset deadline in the late isolated dispatch test

* perf(test): shorten the slow gbrain fake to 1 s, still past the 300 ms probe timeout

* ci(free-tests): run only cso-docker-integration in the free CSO Docker job (F16)

cso-node-lifecycle-integration and cso-stack-cold-integration need
GSTACK_CSO_TEST_STACK images and always skipped there; they stay in the CSO
runtime workflows through test:cso:docker.

* test(gen-skill-docs,plan-ceo): split mixed sentence pins into tokens and rules

Sentences that wrap a backticked or bold token keep the token (expectTokens)
and, when they state a safety rule, a keyword check; short safety sentences
(25-39 chars) get the same treatment.

* test(plan-ceo): convert ceo-workflow-clarity.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: periodic PTY case skill-e2e-plan-ceo-review-section-loading and the plan-ceo workflow judges.
Sentence pins: 13 -> 1.

* test(plan-eng): convert eng-review-routing.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: plan-eng E2E cases (skill-e2e-plan-eng-*) and the plan-eng workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 28 -> 6.

* test(plan-eng): convert eng-scope-entry-ap.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: plan-eng E2E cases (skill-e2e-plan-eng-*) and the plan-eng workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 16 -> 5.

* test(plan): convert plan-scope-selection.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: plan-review E2E cases and workflow judges in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 19 -> 2.

* test(qa): convert qa-lazy-sections.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 71 -> 11.

* test(qa): convert qa-browser-preservation.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 25 -> 11.

* test(qa): convert qa-probe-gates.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 20 -> 5.

* test(qa): convert qa-checkpoint-evidence.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 7 -> 5.

* test(qa): convert qa-evidence.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: qa/qa-only E2E cases (skill-e2e-qa-*) and the qa workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 4 -> 3.

* test(design): convert design-consultation-contract.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: design-consultation E2E/judge cases in touchfiles-data.
Sentence pins: 44 -> 11.

* test(outside-voice): convert run-in-background-guidance.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: outside-voice E2E cases and plan-review workflow judges.
Sentence pins: 35 -> 5.

* test(spec): convert spec-template-invariants.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: spec E2E/judge cases in touchfiles-data.
Sentence pins: 36 -> 21.

* perf(evals): 420 s census slice budget; case-shard skill-e2e-qa-workflow; seed its case walls (W5c)

* feat(evals): evals.yml dispatch contract for eval:bg (CEO-17/29, DX-1, ENG-8/12)

workflow_dispatch gains base_ref, base_sha, expected_sha, nonce and
pr_receipts. The nonce appears in run-name so the dispatcher resolves its
own run; evals_all=false runs the PR profile against base_sha/base_ref; a
checkout that differs from expected_sha fails before any paid work with a
named fix; pr_receipts reads that PR's receipts read-only through the
recover-receipts artifact path (never the cache) and never saves.

* ci(windows): pack the Windows lane with Windows-measured durations (W6e)

The first sharded run (37221451711) finished in 6.0 min: the Linux seed has
browse/test/cookie-import-native-job.test.ts at ~0 s (its cases skip on
Linux) but it takes 122 s on Windows, so one shard ran 242 s against an 84 s
prediction. The plan now reads scripts/free-test-durations-windows.json; a
record_durations dispatch times every Windows-safe file alone and uploads it.

* test(free): settlement case files import the runner rule they exercise

Keeps the split files out of the test-of-test ratchet: the retry-eligibility
rule is a direct runner import passed to the shared fixture.

* fix(marathon): no hollow plan-decision-classification shard; office-hours marathon scenario scoped to the pilot (W2f)

* test(free): satisfy the typecheck:test ratchet in the seed ratchet test

* refactor(ci-history): one shared GitHub history reader with the CI flake-ledger reader

Extract pass-rates' gh fetch layer into scripts/lib/ci-history.ts (CEO-09) and
add the W7a reader: paged run listings that fail whole on any page error,
per-run artifact downloads (cached, size-capped, data only), flake-ledger
parsing, the pre-registered flaky-file rule (> 5% of main free-tests runs over
a window of at least 20 runs, widened to the newest 20 runs when the window is
thinner), a job-summary table, and named unavailable reasons with next steps.

* feat(test-health): test:health report of the audit success metrics

scripts/test-health-report.ts (CEO-09/06/22/32, DX-8/9/12/13) prints every
success metric with its counting rule from CI history: PR full-fallback rate,
reused PR trial records, PR-lane spend per merged PR and per validated
revision, cancelled slice-minutes per week, push-to-verdict p50/p95, census
expected failed trials per run with raw failure rate per kind/class and
P(lane red) under the recorded panels vs single-trial aggregation, INFRA
re-dispatches, quarantine evidence (insufficient evidence distinct from
healthy), free flaky-pass rate, free/Windows wall, free serial time and the
net-complexity line. An unreadable input prints 'unavailable: <reason>; next:
<step>', never 0. --enforce fails on a flaky file (W7a) or > 5 unseeded free
files (CEO-10); unavailable checks never fail and keep the issue open.

* test(review): convert review-workflow-clarity.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: review E2E cases (skill-e2e-review*) and the review workflow judge in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 85 -> 17.

* test(review): convert review-entry-and-design-clarity-au.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: review E2E cases (skill-e2e-review*) and the review workflow judge in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 15 -> 4.

* test(review): convert review-enum-lifecycle.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: review E2E cases (skill-e2e-review*) and the review workflow judge in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 8 -> 0.

* test(ship): convert ship-control-flow.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: ship E2E cases (skill-e2e-ship*, skill-e2e-workflow) and the 'ship/SKILL.md workflow' judge.
Sentence pins: 74 -> 9.

* test(ship): convert ship-skip-requeue.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: ship E2E cases (skill-e2e-ship*, skill-e2e-workflow) and the 'ship/SKILL.md workflow' judge.
Sentence pins: 28 -> 3.

* test(ship): convert ship-plan-completion-invariants.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: ship E2E cases (skill-e2e-ship*, skill-e2e-workflow) and the 'ship/SKILL.md workflow' judge.
Sentence pins: 28 -> 12.

* test(ship): convert ship-reentry-gates.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword

Sentence pins: 16 -> 4.

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword

Sentence pins: 6 -> 1.

* test(ship): convert ship-template-redaction.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword

checks stay. Behavior and wording: ship E2E cases (skill-e2e-ship*, skill-e2e-workflow) and the 'ship/SKILL.md workflow' judge.
Sentence pins: 5 -> 2.

* test(ship): convert ship-pr-liveness-policy.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,

checks stay. Behavior and wording: ship E2E cases (skill-e2e-ship*, skill-e2e-workflow) and the 'ship/SKILL.md workflow' judge.
Sentence pins: 4 -> 0.

* test(plan-review): convert plan-review-cases.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword

labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: plan-review E2E cases and workflow judges in skill-llm-eval.
Sentence pins: 58 -> 15.

* test(autoplan): convert autoplan-phase-order.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: autoplan E2E cases (skill-e2e-autoplan-*) and the autoplan workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 42 -> 11.

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword

checks stay. Behavior and wording: autoplan E2E cases (skill-e2e-autoplan-*) and the autoplan workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 20 -> 4.

* test(autoplan): convert autoplan-snapshot.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword

labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: autoplan E2E cases (skill-e2e-autoplan-*) and the autoplan workflow judge.
Sentence pins: 21 -> 5.

* test(outside-voice): convert outside-voice-preflight.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: outside-voice E2E cases and plan-review workflow judges.
Sentence pins: 26 -> 9.

* test(ask-format): convert resolver-ask-user-format.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: AUQ E2E cases (skill-e2e-auq-*); prompt-injection rule kept as a meaning check.
Sentence pins: 32 -> 15.

* test(skills): convert binding-template-drift.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,
labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: land-and-deploy E2E cases and its workflow judge.

labels, placeholders, commands, field names, enum/status tokens and ordering
checks stay. Behavior and wording: office-hours E2E cases (skill-e2e-office-hours*).
Sentence pins: 16 -> 1.

* test(plan-ceo): restore the stale closing-route guard

The negative check for 'Closing hooks' / 'return to section' guards a retired
route token, not a sentence; the first conversion pass dropped it.

* ci(test-health): weekly test-health workflow with an honest tracking issue

New test-health.yml (CEO-18/DX-9): Monday 10:00 UTC after the periodic census
plus dispatch, free ubuntu-24.04 runner, permissions contents:read +
actions:read + issues:write only. Runs bun run test:health --since-days 7
--enforce; an enforced failure upserts one tracking issue, a run with
unavailable inputs keeps it open and lists them, and it closes only when every
enforced check has evidence and passes. Only main runs touch the issue.

* feat(evals): an edited paid test file runs its own gate cases in the PR lane (DX-11)

A gate case outside the audited fast profile is selected when its single
owning paid test file changed and the runner can select it by name (its
Bun test is named by the case id). The manifest records directCases and
validation accepts only recorded, name-addressable ones; the runner and
planner read the file->cases map from test-pr-profile. Cases the runner
cannot address stay deferred with the fix. An inventory test covers every
owned gate case. Touches one hunk each in test-paid-shards.ts and
lib/paid-plan.ts, and pr-shared-input-selection.test.ts's ship-skip pin.

* ci(osv): tracking issue for scheduled reds and a 14-day suppression expiry test

F11/W8f: a failed main OSV scan now upserts one tracking issue and a clean
scan closes it (scheduled reds notified no one during the August backlog).
A free test fails 14 days before any .osv-scanner.toml ignoreUntil (all four
expire 2026-11-30), with the fix: upgrade and delete, or re-justify and move
the date.

* test(ship,review): keep guards against retired fail-open instructions

'skip silently' on reviewer failure and 'do not block /ship on subagent
failure' were harmful instructions, not prose style; keep them absent with the
shortest distinctive phrase.

* feat(eval-select): default to the pr profile

DX-10: eval:select previews the PR lane's selection by default, matching
test:pr and eval:bg:pr; --profile full (or EVALS_PROFILE=full) keeps the plain
touchfile selection.

* test(evals): type-clean the recovery gh fake (typecheck:test ratchet)

* chore(windows): record the Windows duration seed (run 37221963236)

573 Windows-safe files timed alone on windows-latest; cookie-import-native-job
is 102 s there. Six shards now predict 154 s each.

* feat(evals): eval:bg dispatches the pushed ref to CI or runs locally under a 1.5x-planned cap (W5d, CEO-17/29, DX-1/2/3/7, ENG-12/19)

* feat(runners): --help on both shard runners via the shared flag loop; paid runner header describes today's planner/executor/report (W8e)

* test(windows): drop the stale Playwright exclusion and force-include probe-proven files (W6e)

A temporary windows-latest probe (run 37221995077) ran each of the 97 files
excluded for 'launches Playwright browser' or 'raw /tmp/ path' alone: all 17
Playwright files pass (Chromium is installed and Bun drives it there), and 41
of the /tmp files pass with executed cases. The Playwright pattern is removed
and the 41 files are force-included with the probe as their reason; the 36
real failures stay excluded. The curated subset grows from 573 to 631 files
and the ratchet floor follows. Windows curation moves to
scripts/lib/windows-curation.ts (the runner drops to 2000 lines).

* test(free): one install fixture cloned from a read-only seed (W6c, ENG-1)

Merge test/helpers/setup-codex-scope-fixture.ts into install-fixture.ts.
The checkout is built once per test file into a read-only seed and cloned
per fixture with copy-on-write where the filesystem has it (full copy
otherwise), restoring each file's own mode; clones never hard-link the
seed because put() and tests write in place. Callers register
afterAll(cleanupSeed); Bun's runner fires no exit event, so seeds of
killed runs are swept by pid. test/install-fixture.test.ts is the ENG-1
tripwire: put/setVersion/chmod in one clone leave the seed and a sibling
unchanged, and clones share no inodes with the read-only seed.

* test(free): split claude-overlay-setup by describe (W6b)

The 115 s serial file becomes default/lifecycle/installs files (5/4/3
tests, unchanged bodies) sharing test/helpers/claude-overlay-fixture.ts,
so the shard packer can balance them.

* test(cso): convert cso-contracts.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword
freely, keep the rule); other English sentence pins are dropped. Headings,

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword

Sentence pins: 11 -> 9.

* test(windows): exclude the skip-only claude-overlay setup files from the Windows subset

Their real-setup cases are describe.skipIf(win32); after the split their bin/
spawns live in the shared helper, so the source scan stopped seeing them.

* test(skills): convert agents-digest.test.ts sentence pins

Safety and authority sentences become expectMentions keyword checks (reword

* test: restore pins on renderer output and paid-fixture inputs

cso-contracts (the report renderer's required empty phrase), memory-ingest
(binary output), carve-plan-fixture, ship-skip-actor and cso-eval (inputs the
paid harness builds) assert product or fixture output, not skill prose, so the
value-bar narrowing does not apply to them.

* feat(eval-policy): v2 series identity, HARNESS_VERSION guard and identity backtest

W4a (CEO-27/ENG-3/DX-6), not yet wired to the writer: caseSeriesIdentitiesV2
keys a case by the bytes it owns (paid test file, fixtures, its skills' prompt
files including the generated SKILL.md) plus HARNESS_VERSION, and records the
full consumed-input fingerprint as provenance. scripts/harness-version.json
pins the blob of every shared-harness file (GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES plus the session
runners, PTY harness, e2e gate and LLM judge), one line per file;
test/harness-version.test.ts fails on drift with both fixes, and
scripts/bump-harness-version.ts records the decision: --bump (new series for
every case) or --non-behavioral (compatibility entry, no reset).
eval-trial-series --backtest replays identities over weekly main revisions
and recorded trials (ENG-3/DX-12).

* feat(pass-rates): weekly history is main's scheduled runs plus main dispatches

W4b: pass-rates reads evals-periodic history from main only, keeping scheduled
runs and main dispatches and never a branch dispatch, so back-to-back branch
validation runs neither feed pass rates nor count as weeks for quarantine
expiry or drift. --branch <name> still reads one branch's runs for inspection.

* docs(test-audit): EVAL_POLICY v2 decision memo with the identity backtest

D1 memo (CEO-33, ENG-3, DX-12, CEO-27): P(green) arithmetic, false-blocking
targets, the v2 identity rule and harness guard, weekly history, W4c evidence
(the named 'stochastic' cases pass 26/27 to 34/34, so they stay rule), the
backtest over 29 weekly main revisions and 14,898 recorded trials, what it
means for quarantine reachability, alternatives (gating vs trended, adaptive
panels not adopted, buy vs build), and the rollback proof on the pre-PR reader.

* feat(eval-policy): EVAL_POLICY v2 writer: case-owned series identity

The v2 writer, last commit of the W4 block (DX-12/ENG-14/ENG-21): the report
job's stamp now writes caseSeriesIdentitiesV2 (case-owned bytes plus
HARNESS_VERSION) as series_identity, the full consumed-input fingerprint as
series_fingerprint and harness_version as provenance, and EVAL_POLICY.version
is 2 (approved 2026-10-04, D1). The v1 touchfile identity is removed.
Rollback = revert this commit (and the W4 commits above the reader-compat
floor); readers then ignore the v2 records with a printed count.

* test: restore pins on paid-harness prompt inputs

review-enum-lifecycle and plan-review-report-recording assert the prompt a
paid case's harness builds (opts.prompt / call.prompt), a fixture contract,
not skill prose.

* test(security): check injected safety lines on meaning, not capitals

content-security, the canary instruction and the arm judge prompt still must
carry their never-follow / never-output / exact-"none" rules; the checks are
case-insensitive keyword checks so emphasis can change. The UNTRUSTED envelope
markers and "none" value stay exact tokens. (Hidden element stripping fails
locally only because Playwright Chromium is not installed; same at base.)

* test(plan-ceo): keep the outside-voice scope-summary rule as a meaning check

The first codemod pass left an empty if body (TS1313).

* chore(windows): re-record the Windows duration seed for the 631-file subset (run 37222668939)

* ci(free-tests): summarize every shard's flake ledger in the aggregate job (W7a)

The aggregate downloads flake-ledger-* (one subdirectory per shard) and
appends lane C's `scripts/test-health-report.ts flake-summary` output to the
job summary before strict verification. The runner's own flaky table is
dropped so the ledger reader stays the single source; --ci-verify keeps the
shard-overrun warning.

* feat(evals): free test files anywhere and the stored-zip helper never restore the full PR gate (W1a)

The CEO-23 replay found design/test free tests forcing fallback (36485436963).

* feat(evals): replay recorded PR pushes through today's selector (CEO-23, ENG-18)

scripts/replay-pr-selection.ts reports per push the recorded vs replayed
mode and case count, dropped gate cases, retired failed cases and every
miss (a failed case that depends on the diff but is no longer selected).

* refactor(evals): one case-sharded carve-section-loading file with a case id and touchfiles per skill (W5a)

* test(free): hold qa-deadline's full-pipe case on a FIFO, not a paused Bun stream

Bun gives a child 'pipe' stdio a unix socketpair, so whether the 2 MB fill
actually blocks depends on the parent's reader and the host's socket buffer
sizes. CI (run 36761671811, both attempts) saw exit 0 after ~130 ms; with
net.core.{w,r}mem_default=4 MiB locally the old case fails 3/3 the same way.
A FIFO the test never reads is bounded by the kernel pipe buffer, so the
receipt write genuinely blocks and the 5 s settlement deadline must fire.
The 7 s bound now starts once the preload has queued the write.

* test(free): event-driven waits in pty-output-wake

close-releases-observers: the 500 ms wall race becomes an ordering check
(the waiter is released while only SIGINT has been sent, before close's
escalation finishes), and the Bun.spawn spy fakes only the PTY launch so a
shard neighbor's in-process spawn cannot add a stray SIGTERM (CI runs
36015568981, 36036582721, 36074636848).

continuous-redraws: the fixture spinner stops once the observer has made
five coalesced reads, so the run reaches its work deadline with no redraw
in flight. Streaming right up to the deadline raced the helper's screen
drain and failed as 'PTY screen parse failed; viewport is incomplete'
(5 CI runs 09-30..10-03; 4/40 locally under 8 busy loops, 0/40 after).

* test(free): session-runner long-capture handshake waits for the collected Read event

The fake CLI's init line arms the runner's work-phase timer, so the worker's
handshake (work-ready + a >200 s timer) could pass before the runner's read
loop had collected the Read event printed just before work-ready. Advancing
the clock then killed the run with the Read lost: readSection false (CI run
37194511124). The worker now also waits for the runner's own progress line
for that Read. Forcing the observed ordering (work-ready 200 ms before the
Read line) fails the old test deterministically and passes the new one.

* test(free): budget-override restores the CI variables it rewrites

Its provenance cases set and then deleted CI, GITHUB_ACTIONS, GITHUB_REF_NAME,
GITHUB_SHA and the GitLab CI_* names without restoring them, so in a CI shard
every later file ran with CI unset. qa-only-cleanup's real browse daemons
then launched Chromium without --no-sandbox, the sandbox failed on the
runner, and both real-Chromium cases timed out with 'QA cleanup fixture did
not become ready' (shard 12 attempt 1 of six runs on 10-04, retry alone
green). Retained startup log: 'Chromium sandboxing failed!', child env with
no CI. Reproduced 3/3 with CI=true, userns denied and budget-override ahead
of qa-only-cleanup in one process; 0/3 after.

* test(free): pr-shared-input-selection names its base and package history

Every selection now passes EVALS_BASE and packageVersionOnly explicitly, so
no case reads the checkout's git state. Before, 12 calls ran
detectBaseBranch and the cumulative case diffed package.json against
merge-base(origin/main, HEAD) — the ambient input that turned main red in
runs 36572856858 and 36594314027. A PATH git spy counts 14 git calls in the
old file and 0 now.

* feat(evals): derive PR-lane dependents for unmapped files instead of restoring the full gate

scripts/pr-dependencies.ts derives, from the checked-out tree, which paid
cases consume each repository file: test import closures, repo paths and
path.join segments in code/shell/skill text (whole-line comments and
selection data excluded), bin script names, compiled binaries by outfile
path (scripts/build.sh), package scripts, template placeholders through
RESOLVERS, and host configs by host id. The global touchfiles' import
closure is global.

PR selection: an unmapped file with derived consumers puts the run in the
new 'dependents' mode (every dependent gate case and judge, no profile cut);
a tracked file under a derivable directory that nothing reaches is exempt;
periodic/marathon workflows, .gitignore and tsconfig.test.json never run
the PR gate. PR_FULL_GATE_FILES is the fail-closed list (deps, CI image,
setup, build, evals.yml and its actions, test preload, tsconfig.json,
.gitattributes, the skill generator and preamble resolvers, the eval
policy). Untracked or underivable files restore the full gate with fix
text. The summary and PR comment list derived dependents.

* feat(evals): replay misses count derived dependents; report wave vs ordinary pushes (CEO-23)

* test: drop FREE_FIXTURES entries for fixtures deleted in W8b

* test: re-shape the census attribution fixture to qa-workflow and carve case shards

* test: census fixture case order

* ci: 420 s PR-lane slices with per-slice ceilings; periodic tracking issue only on main

evals.yml joins the census lanes at the 420 s slice budget (W5c/CEO-15) and
indexes each eval slice's job timeout from .plan.sliceCiTimeoutMinutes with
the slice-deadline clock as its first step (W2c/ENG-2). evals-periodic.yml's
tracking-issue upsert and close run only on refs/heads/main, so a branch
dispatch whose gate census is skipped (CEO-04) never opens or closes #2755.

* docs: integrate lane docs for the audit wave (eval-bg backends, PR fallback, policy v2, ceilings, evidence)

- CLAUDE.md: 'Running evals as an agent' describes scripts/eval-bg.ts's
  dispatch and local backends, forcing flags, the sentinel and status;
  eval:select's PR-profile default; prompt-structure helper and value-bar
  terms. instruction-facts now requires scripts/eval-bg.ts in that section.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: decision table gains test:health, eval:select default,
  eval:bg backends and the include_gate_census / evals_all dispatch lines;

* test(free): hold qa-deadline's blocked-output-pipe receipts on a FIFO

The five 'guard %s receipts survive a blocked output pipe' cases filled a
paused Bun child pipe with 2 MiB. That pipe is a unix socketpair, so the
fill only blocks while the host's socket buffers are smaller than the write:
with net.core.{w,r}mem_default=4 MiB the old cases fail 13 of 15 case runs
(the guard finishes before the test resumes the stream). The held stream is
now a FIFO the test drains only after resume(), bounded by the kernel pipe
buffer; Windows keeps the paused pipe. Bounds and assertions are unchanged.

* test(free): qa-deadline waits for a written pid, not just the pid file

DRIVER and LEAF write their pid with writeFileSync, so under load ready()
can see the file before its digits and fail 'expected > 0, received 0'
(seen once in 150 loaded runs). After any early failure the finally
SIGKILLs the CLI, which orphans the detached command group; a leaf whose pid
file is not yet readable then keeps the output stream open and the case
hangs to its 15 s timeout (2/80 old-file runs and 3/310 FIFO-only runs
under 8 busy loops; the instrumented hang showed the CLI already SIGKILLed
by the finally). ready() now polls within the same 3 s bound until the file
holds a positive pid.

* fix(evals): a deleted file selects the dependents of the live files that still reference it

PR selection treated every path absent from the head tree as an unknown
dependency, so any PR that deleted a file forced the full gate. A deleted
path is now placed like a live one, against the head tree: a matching
touchfile selects its cases; live code, skill text or a full-gate input that
still references it (path, extensionless import target, relative import,
bin name, ancestor directory, compiled-binary outfile; whole-line comments
and data files excluded) contributes its dependents, a full-gate referencer
restores the full gate with a 'deleted but still referenced' fix, and an
unreferenced deleted path has no dependents. Deleted PR_FULL_GATE_FILES
entries still force the full gate. Tests that used absent paths as stand-ins
for new unmapped files now use tracked root files (or an explicit tracked
set); the CEO-23 replay counts misses through those references too.

* docs: integrate free-suite lane docs (seed anchor, Windows lane, native qualification, install fixture, flake rules)

- docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md: '### Free suite duration seed' (the anchor the
  seed messages link) with DX-13, the 99th-percentile packing, --ci-plan
  warning, --ci-verify overruns and the CEO-10 seed ratchet; the Windows
  6-job lane, its Windows-measured seed and refresh dispatch, curation and
  WINDOWS_CURATED_FLOOR; native-qualification.yml modes; the merged
  install fixture; test-only timing knobs; the flake-ledger job summary,
  Windows ledger names and three free-suite flake rules; zsh in the
  Ubicloud mirror.
- scripts/test-health-report.ts links #free-suite-duration-seed, so the
  two seed messages share one heading (the anchor test caught the split).
- CONTRIBUTING.md: Windows seed refresh and native qualification rows;
  seed-source pointer. AGENTS.md: Windows six-job lane.
- docs/cso-release-qualification.md: the free CSO Docker job runs only
  cso-docker-integration.test.ts.
- docs/test-audit-2026-10.md: free-suite evidence lines.
- TODOS.md: CEO-11b progress note on the pre-push hook hang.

* test: final duration seeds on the integrated tree; retire the emptied cookie-validation-phases file

Linux seed re-recorded on Ubicloud standard-16 and the Windows seed from
dispatch run 37227140871, both at c903310. The seed allowlist drops the three
entries that are no longer over the ceiling. cookie-validation-phases lost its
validation-phase pins with W8f and its Windows/Dia pins moved to
windows-native-workflows with native-qualification.yml, so the file is
deleted and the curated Windows floor rises to 638. The Windows recorder writes
the seed at its default path so GSTACK_FREE_TEST_DURATIONS never leaks into
timed tests.

* test: re-express stale PR-lane pins against the new evals.yml contract

- ci-eval-cache: the profile/fresh expressions now include evals_all=false
  dispatches and pr_receipts/evals-fresh; the PR store is restored only by
  recover-receipts (still scoped to repository_id + PR, PR events only),
  plan-slices takes it as an artifact and never touches the cache, saves
  stay PR-only, EVALS_CACHE_PR binds pr_receipts dispatches, and the report
  verdict artifact carries report receipts.
- ci-paid-coordination: plan-slices needs only the two ubuntu coordination
  jobs (never the image); the fork/Dependabot clause is unchanged on
  plan-slices and also gates debounce and recover-receipts; only recovery
  holds actions: read.
- qa-supervision-selection: auq-consistency and auq-verbose-vs-carved-ab
  (W1b) reach claude-pty-runner and pty-screen through auq-sdk-capture,
  exactly as auq-format-gate does.
- paid-retry-supervision: the full-validation plan uses a tracked full-gate
  input (setup); an absent path is now a deletion placed by its references.

* ci(windows): record the Windows seed at the default path

* chore: HARNESS_VERSION non-behavioral decision for the audit-wave integration

* v1.91.20.0 release metadata: test, eval and CI audit wave

* test(compare-board): wait for the post-submit state the feedback POST settles

The two post-submit assertions read the board once, but the board disables
the submit button and shows the message only after its feedback POST
resolves. On a loaded Ubicloud shard the read beat the round trip (FLAKY-PASS
in the final free-suite run). Delaying the POST by 400 ms reproduces both
failures at HEAD; polling for the settled state passes.

* test(plan-eng plan-mode): run the seeded STOP-gate smoke in its own fixture project

The seeded plan proposes a custom test runner, so the review's Step 0 reads
the working tree's test setup. In the gstack checkout that is gstack's own
sharded runner, and the case timed out at 300 s in census 37228573062 after
this wave reshaped the runner. It now runs in a four-file Bun project with
git history, with the product-notice suppression auto-decide-preserved's
standalone fixture already uses. Local pass on Bun 1.4.0 + Claude Code
2.1.284: asked in 121 s, seed tokens observed.

* test(plan-mode evidence): pin the seeded eng smoke's isolated fixture cwd and env

* ci(image): Git >= 2.44 so paid shared-libs cases run the supported safe-git path

bin/gstack-safe-git prefixes every /deslop-shared-libs Git read with
--no-lazy-fetch, which noble's git 2.43 rejects (exit 129). The eval image
therefore ran every paid shared-libs case on the unsupported-Git fallback:
local history unavailable, branch HEAD unknown. shared-libs-read-only failed
on exactly that in PR run 37230639146 ("Current branch HEAD: unknown. The
safe-git probe failed (unknown option: --no-lazy-fetch, git 2.43.0)") and in
2 of 74 earlier PR runs. The image installs current Git from the Ubuntu Git
Maintainers PPA and fails its build if --no-lazy-fetch is missing; the
deliberate unsupported-Git case keeps its fake Git.

* eval: pool matching branch census trials into main's pass-rate series (D1 option b)

Approved 2026-10-05. eval:pass-rates also reads completed branch census runs
in the weekly window. A branch trial counts only toward a series a main run
also has (same case-owned bytes, HARNESS_VERSION, model and CLI), so a branch
extends main's history but never starts or becomes a case's current series;
weeks for quarantine expiry still count main runs only. The D1 backtest put
this at 67 of 210 cases with enough trials for the entry rule, against 0 of
195 on main alone.

* C2: /qa defines its outcome filename fields; QA report templates name the measured timing fields

Low judge samples in failing panels named both: qa workflow (37186854666)
'an undefined {user} in the outcome filename', and qa-only workflow
(37198445662) 'template asks for Duration / durationMs totals while
reporting.md mandates Probe budget and Guarded command time'. The qa
union stays under its 1.11 size ratio (93292 of 93294 bytes).

(cherry picked from commit e14c0c1de1)

* C2: Browser Quick gets a feasible budget; QA loop names its directory and stop path

Judge rationales on the qa-only panels (2 of the last 3) cited the 30 s
Browser Quick budget: homepage + 5 targets, each a checkpoint write and a
guarded command, left ~5 s per probe. Quick is now 180 s (method text: 3
minutes); the qa-only-no-fix paid check expects the same native deadline.
PROBE_DIR points at its source line, a stopped loop goes to the final
report steps (annotations, materialize, Markdown), and /review and /ship
say that after smoke expiry only plan checks rerun in revalidation.

(cherry picked from commit 78d4a2a343)

* qa: fit the C2 judge fixes under the qa and review size caps

Brings GSTA-21's qa.ts trims (3bd625d, ce73af0) for the cherry-picked C2
wording: PROBE_DIR keeps 'owned', the stop line points at §4, and the
post-expiry rule is one sentence, so /review fits its cap. qa measures
93,303 / 84,049 = 1.11010 against the same 1.1102 cap GSTA-21 set. The
qa-only workflow judge passed 10 of 10 local trials on this wording (7 of 10
before the C2 fixes).

* test: qa-only fixture keeps its caller-set 30 s deadline

The qa-only-no-fix fixture tells the model to start the guard with 30 s
(a caller limit), so its deadline assertion's default stays 30 000 ms; the
product's Browser Quick default (180 s) does not apply to it. Reverts the
helper and its test to their base.

(cherry picked from commit e36e622add)

* test: qa-quick sets a caller probe limit and drains past its session budget

C2 raised Browser Quick's native budget to 180 s. qa-quick is the only gate case
on the native budget, and its wall went 194 s (main periodic, pre-C2) -> 254 s and
274 s (this PR's runs) -> 300 s session timeout (run 37242691913): the agent now
probes every navigation target with a checkpoint, then needs ~80 s to report.
Like qa-only-no-fix, the eval now sets a caller probe limit (30 s), scopes the
fixture, and gives bun's outer timeout the session drain margin instead of racing
the 300 s session. The product's 180 s budget and the session budget are unchanged.
Diagnostic rerun passed in 195 s.

(cherry picked from commit f8dc64031e)

* chore: restore the audit wave's package scripts after the main merge (version 1.91.23)

* qa: keep main's one-sentence post-expiry rule for /review and /ship

The C2 variants ("step 4c reruns plan checks only" and "even in 4c") read
to the review workflow judge as conflicting with Step 5.8's repeat-pass
reruns: 6 of 10 local trials passed with the longer sentence and PR run
37248650879 failed on the shorter one. Main's "Post-expiry smoke rechecks are
not-run." passed 10 of 10. qa (9/10), qa-only (10/10) and
ship-managed-hook-refresh (10/10) were measured on the same tree.
