caba78fefa v1.83.0.0 feat: Memorable recall bridge, opt-in and receipted (supersedes #2831) (#2836)
* feat: add optional Memorable workflow memory

(cherry picked from commit 6bd5d477b2)

* fix: refuse the second registration, and say what leaves the machine

Two things the first cut got wrong.

Memorable's own installer registers the same UserPromptSubmit hook, under its
own name and outside gstack's table. `memorable start`, `memorable setup` and
`memorable install-hooks` all do it, and that is the documented way to install
the CLI, so on most machines it is already there before gstack is asked.
Registering ours beside it ran the same command twice on every prompt: context
injected twice, and the session captured twice against the user's own
extraction allowance. `enable` now looks for it and refuses, naming the entry
and the file it lives in; `status` says who registered it rather than reporting
none. Matched on the command rather than on a tag, for the reason the hook
table already gives: Claude Code rewrites settings and private tags do not
survive it.

The removal instruction says to delete the entry by hand because Memorable has
no command that removes its own hook. `uninstall-hooks` is not a command in
0.5.18; it answers "unknown command".

The README said "Memorable, not gstack, owns the captured data and any network
access", which answers the question by pointing away from it. It now carries a
per-command table of exactly what leaves the machine, in the shape the adopted
gbrain section uses, and it is explicit that the hook makes no network call of
its own, that every row is the third-party CLI acting under its own consent,
and that `gstack-egress` will therefore not show any of it. Under it, the split
between what gstack pin-tests (the gating and the wiring) and what is
Memorable's claim (storage, sending, and what disable and forget erase).

The CHANGELOG entry is removed. This file has never carried an [Unreleased]
heading; every entry is a version and a date, written at release. The text is
in the pull request for whoever cuts the next one.

Three tests added: enable refuses and touches neither consent nor settings when
Memorable already holds the hook, status names that registration, and a foreign
UserPromptSubmit hook is not mistaken for Memorable's.

* docs: a guide for the Memorable bridge, in the gbrain-sync shape

README carries the section and the egress table; this is the page it links to
for anyone who wants the whole thing. Same shape as docs/gbrain-sync.md, which
is the closest thing in the repo: an optional integration whose interesting
questions are all about what leaves the machine and how to turn it off.

What it covers that the README cannot at that length: that the hook sees every
Claude Code prompt rather than only the ones a skill produced; that capture is
a separate consent from this bridge, so turning the bridge off does not turn
capture off; what to do when Memorable has already registered the hook itself,
which is the common case because its own installer does it; and why the hook
has no loud failure path.

The egress table is repeated here rather than linked, because the sentence it
is answering ("what does this send") is the one somebody arrives on this page
already asking.

* feat(settings-hook): identity-aware remove-source + read-only list-items

remove-source used to inspect only entries still carrying the
_gstack_source tag. Claude Code strips that tag when it rewrites
settings.json, so an off switch built on remove-source alone silently
no-oped on exactly the entries it was written for. Removal is now driven
by KNOWN_HOOKS identity for the requested source (tagged or not), keeps
the tagged-single-item legacy-stray rule, never touches another source's
items, and leaves entries with nothing of ours byte-identical.

list-items is the read-only view of the same identity table: one JSON
string literal per matching hook command, filters (--owned-by,
--command-regex as a JavaScript RegExp) applied inside the JS, empty
stdout for no match, and the mutating verbs' exit codes (1 usage, 3
unparseable settings, 4 unexpected shape) so callers can decide
mutations from its output without parsing raw command strings.

* feat(config): memorable_recall consent key (on|off, default off, reject-and-preserve)

The gstack-side gate for the Memorable UserPromptSubmit bridge. `on` lets
a Claude Code hook hand every prompt to a third-party binary, so the key
follows the codex_reviews rule: an invalid value is rejected and the
stored value kept, never coerced in either direction. Registered in all
four places gstack-config keeps in sync (annotated header, DEFAULTS
table, the set validator, and both enumeration loops). Memorable's own
capture consent (`memorable enable`) is a separate thing gstack never
sets.

* feat(hooks): memorable-user-prompt-hook.ts — consent gate, deny veto, HIGH-tier pre-scan, fail-closed receipt, trust envelope; runExternal in spawn-bin

The PR's hook exec'd the vendor binary with the full environment and
passed its stdout to Claude verbatim. It is now the house pattern: a
fail-open bash shim over a .ts twin that (1) gates on the memorable_recall
consent key, (2) skips repos whose trust policy is deny or read-only,
(3) scans the prompt (raw bytes and decoded string leaves) and refuses to
hand over a HIGH-tier credential shape, (4) writes a fail-closed egress
receipt naming the local executable it ran, (5) spawns the vendor in its
own process group with an allowlisted environment and group-kills it on
timeout, (6) accepts only a string additionalContext back, caps it at
8 KiB on a UTF-8 boundary and wraps it in the trust envelope, and (7)
records an `output-written` outcome after the stdout write completes.
One deadline clock (4.5 s) undercuts Claude Code's 5 s kill and bounds
both ledger writes through the new lockBudgetMs option on
writeReceipt/writeOutcome (default unchanged).

spawn-bin gains runExternal for external executables (detached group,
stderr drained, stdin EPIPE handled, stdout capped, win32 refused).
The wiring test pins the sink fail-closed and sweeps hosts/.

* fix(gstack-memorable): canonical hook path, no vendor consent, --timeout 5, identity-based status, verified disable, lifecycle lock

enable used to bake the hook path from whatever tree the CLI ran in and
to run the vendor's own `memorable enable` (its consent for storing AND
uploading session traces) before registering anything. It now resolves
the canonical install like setup does and refuses when that install does
not carry this bridge (version and hook-twin check), registers through
the canonical hook manager with --timeout 5, records gstack's own consent
in memorable_recall, never executes the vendor, and restores the captured
prior state if consent cannot be recorded. disable flips the gate first,
removes the entry by identity (tag or no tag), verifies both states and
reports partial failure instead of a blended success. status reads only:
resolution path, gate, registration by identity (gstack / vendor-own /
both / unknown), mismatch lines, receipt count, recent hook errors. enable
and disable serialise under a lock with stale takeover. Windows is
refused (TODOS.md D21). Exit codes mirror the hook manager (3/4/5).

* fix(setup): --no-team sweep keeps the opt-in gstack-memorable hook

`./setup --no-team` finishes its teardown with `prune-stale --all`, which
removes every KNOWN_HOOKS item. The Memorable bridge hook is a
user-registered opt-in unrelated to team mode, exactly like verify-gate,
so it joins the sweep exclusion list. The verify-gate pin now accepts the
comma-extended list; a schema-aware case proves the exclusion keeps both
opt-ins (tagged or tag-stripped) while the uninstall sweep still removes
them.

* fix(uninstall): named gstack-memorable arm, vendor-consent notice, honest kept config

The identity sweep already removed the Memorable bridge hook as an
unnamed stray. It now has a named arm like every other source, so the
summary says what went, and says plainly that Memorable's own consent
(if the user granted it) is theirs to revoke. Under --keep-state the kept
config is set memorable_recall=off so it never claims a hook that is
gone. The canonical-paths pins cover the sixth KNOWN_HOOKS row and the
new uninstall source.

* feat(egress): memorable-recall row in gstack-egress grants

`gstack-egress grants` promises every standing consent in force with the
command that revokes it. The Memorable bridge's memorable_recall key is
one, so it gets a row: off by default, granted only when
`gstack-memorable enable` set it, revoked by `gstack-memorable disable`.

* docs(memorable): accurate bridge guide; README row, Docs table, privacy pointer; PROJECT_STRUCTURE

The README section becomes one row in the Standalone binaries table (the
shape every other binary uses) plus a Docs-table row and one Privacy
bullet saying that optional third-party bridges are off by default and
receipted. The guide now separates the two consents, says what gstack
hands to the vendor binary and what the receipt can and cannot attest,
attributes every statement about the vendor's network activity to the
vendor, describes the hook manager accurately (identity via KNOWN_HOOKS,
list-items vs list-sources, rollback is whole-file), states the Claude
Code hot-reload behaviour, adds a troubleshooting runbook, and keeps the
contributors' credit in the CHANGELOG idiom.

* chore(todos): Memorable bridge follow-ups

Filed from the CEO and eng reviews of the bridge fix-up: the generic
third-party hook seam, Windows support (deferred whole), the envelope
kind parameter, a vendor payload-minimization contract, a latency and
timeout revisit, resolver and canonical-root consolidation, a
non-interactive MEDIUM-tier redaction policy for hooks, and adopting
list-items at setup's plan-tune check.

* fix(settings-hook): list-items --owned-by with --command-regex intersects

When both filters are given, an item must satisfy both: owned by the
requested source AND matching the pattern. Before, the regex branch
skipped every owned row, so the combination could never match.

* fix(gstack-memorable): compat_check reads list-items output before grepping

Under pipefail, piping the probe straight into grep -q let a non-zero
probe exit mask the match, so a hook manager without list-items was
sometimes reported as compatible. Capture the output, then grep.

* test: coverage for the memorable bridge (remove-source regression for every KNOWN_HOOKS source)

- settings-hook: identity removal pinned for each source in KNOWN_HOOKS;
  list-items unknown flag and combined --owned-by/--command-regex
- gstack-memorable: enable/disable failure paths (lock give-up exit 5
  with the test-only lock timeout override, consent-write failures
  guarded by canRevokeWrites, canonical-version mismatch, no-bun status)
- hook: non-object JSON, missing cwd, non-ASCII bytes, held-open stdin,
  shim without bun, stripControl, resolveVendor, runExternal ENOENT
- egress-receipt: lockBudgetMs 0 and writeOutcome on garbage input
- uninstall: no memorable entry present reports nothing removed

* perf(redact-engine): line/col by binary search over a per-scan line index

lineColAt walked the input from offset 0 for every finding, so a match-dense
input (a pasted log full of emails and IPs) cost O(findings x bytes): 128 KiB
took ~400 ms and 900 KiB tens of seconds. The line starts are now indexed once
per scan, on the first finding, and each finding is a binary search.

* feat(gbrain-repo-policy-client): repoPolicyTier accepts a spawn timeout

The policy script spawn was fixed at 10 s, more than twice the memorable
hook's whole budget. Callers on their own deadline pass what they can afford;
a timeout reads as unreadable and polarity stays the caller's.

* fix(spawn-bin): runExternal resolves on the child's exit, keeps stdin errors advisory

- A vendor that exits 0 but leaves a background child holding its pipes was
  held to the deadline, group-killed and reported as a timeout with its
  answer dropped. 'exit' now starts a short stdout drain, then resolves with
  the real exit code and kills whatever still holds the group.
- EPIPE on the child's stdin (it answered before reading a large input) is
  reported as stdinError, separate from error, so a delivered answer is not
  classified as a spawn failure.
- Stdio streams are destroyed and the child unref'd on resolve so a straggler
  cannot pin the hook process; tail/grace/drain sizes are named constants.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(hooks): memorable hook closes the review army's gaps

- Vendor failures are logged even with empty stderr (a silently hanging
  vendor taxed every prompt invisibly); the stderr tail is withheld when the
  redaction engine finds a credential or PII shape in it; hook-errors.log is
  created 0600.
- Trust-policy veto fails closed when git cannot run or answer in time (it
  read as 'no remote' before); the policy script spawn is bounded by the
  hook's clock; a payload cwd that is not a directory falls back.
- Each secret scan is admitted by the deadline clock (the engine's cost grows
  with match density); stdin is decoded once.
- The pre-spawn gate re-check logs a config failure instead of swallowing it;
  an incomplete stdin read is named as such, not as 'not JSON'.
- Carriage returns are stripped with the other controls.
- The vendor env allowlist adds the standard proxy, TLS and XDG variables so
  a vendor behind a corporate proxy or private CA still reaches its service.
- A stdin EPIPE on a delivered answer is recorded in the outcome, not treated
  as a spawn error.
- Stage caps and the truncation marker are named constants; a test-only
  GSTACK_MEMORABLE_TEST_BUDGET_MS can shorten (never widen) the budget.

* fix(gstack-memorable): lock staleness from the directory mtime; honest messages

- A contender that looked between the holder's mkdir and its ts write read a
  missing ts as 0, called the lock stale and reclaimed it; staleness now comes
  from the lock directory's own mtime (the settings-hook idiom).
- The ensure-event failure is no longer labelled 'warning'; the consent-write
  rollback message says what was actually kept; a removal that left no entry
  is reported on stdout, not as an error; receipts are counted from the
  filtered JSON array, not a formatting artefact; the resolution order and
  lock tuning are named once.

* fix(uninstall): memorable_recall goes off whether or not state is kept

gstack-config resolves its root through GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/GSTACK_HOME, which
can differ from the STATE_DIR uninstall removes; a full uninstall could leave
memorable_recall=on in a config that survived. Flipped only when currently on.

* test: pin the review-army fixes for the memorable bridge

Nonce-scoped orphan checks (the system-wide ps grep could see another
shard's sleeper); exit-with-lingering-grandchild; advisory stdin EPIPE;
withheld stderr; vendor timeout logged with empty stderr; CR stripping;
budget seam; rate-limit expiry and 0600 log; unreadable policy store fails
closed; file-as-cwd fallback; mtime-based lock staleness and the mkdir gap.

* docs(memorable): vendor environment allowlist and stderr policy; two follow-ups

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(hooks): memorable hook second-pass review fixes

- Trust-policy lookup fails closed on any git failure that is not 'no such
  remote' or 'not a git repository' (a corrupt or unreadable .git/config and
  dubious ownership exit 128 and used to read as 'no remote').
- pickAdditionalContext takes the first complete top-level JSON object, so a
  vendor whose background helper appends a line to stdout (or prints a banner
  first) does not lose its answer.
- The hook-errors.log rate limiter keys on a stable string (a vendor's
  timestamped stderr no longer defeats it); the log is chmod 0600 on every
  append because sibling hooks create the same file without a mode.
- Scan admission is sized by payload bytes (scan() is uninterruptible).
- The receipt payload class is a stable token; the prose moved to the docs.
- Header, constants and comments match the behaviour (silent skips vs logged
  refusals; HIGH/MEDIUM withholding; STAGE_CAP_MS scope; runExternal in the
  spawn-bin header; the ledger lock budget doc).

* fix(gstack-memorable): stale-lock takeover by atomic rename; comments match behaviour

Two contenders that both saw a stale lock could both reclaim it with rm -rf;
the settings-hook idiom (mv to a private name, exactly one winner) is used
instead. The hook-manager fallback comment now says every verb falls back.

* test: second-pass coverage for the memorable bridge

Policy lookup outcomes (plain dir, repo without policy, corrupt .git/config
fails closed); repoPolicyTier timeoutMs; line/col at line starts, after blank
lines, CRLF and first char; tolerant first-JSON-object parsing; keyed rate
limit; uninstall never creates a config just to say off and flips consent in
a GSTACK_STATE_ROOT outside the removed state dir.

* docs(memorable): silent skips vs logged refusals; payload class token; D21/D24 anchors

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(hooks): memorable hook survives host termination and brace-bearing banners

- The bash shim runs bun as a job and forwards SIGTERM/SIGINT/SIGHUP (bash
  holds a signal until a foreground child exits); the .ts kills the in-flight
  vendor's process group on the way out (runExternal exposes the group kill
  through onSpawn), so a hook the host terminates cannot leave the vendor
  running with the prompt on its stdin.
- The tolerant stdout parser tries every complete top-level object (bounded)
  and takes the first carrying a string additionalContext, so a banner with
  braces or quotes, or a progress object, no longer costs the answer.
- git runs with LC_ALL=C and the not-a-repository check is anchored to the
  start of its message: a localized git or a repository path containing the
  phrase can no longer flip the lookup.
- The rate limiter remembers up to 32 live keys, so alternating failures cost
  two lines, not one per prompt.
- Unicode format characters (bidi overrides, zero-width spaces) are stripped
  from vendor text at egress; the zero-width joiner stays for emoji.
- A killed child (timeout, ENOBUFS) resolves on exit without the stdout drain,
  and the post-kill grace is 100 ms, so the timeout outcome fits the reserve.
- The ledger size warning, which the host discards from an exit-0 hook's
  stderr, is logged where status looks.

Under parallel shard load a child that merely exits fast raced the write and

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(hooks): outside-model review fixes for the memorable hook and runExternal

- Nothing in the vendor's process group outlives the call: the group is
  killed on every resolve, the clean 'close' path included (a helper the
  vendor forked with redirected stdio ran on unsupervised before).
- A child that already exited when the deadline fires keeps its result; the
  deadline only ends the drain instead of rewriting a completed exit as a
  timeout.
- The decoded-leaf scan reports when its node/depth bound cut the walk short
  and the hook refuses the hand-off as unscanned; object keys are scanned too.
- git for the trust-policy lookup runs without inherited GIT_* selectors
  (GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE, GIT_CONFIG_*), so it inspects the session's
  repository and no other; a host cancellation kills that git as well.
- An unmatched brace in a vendor banner no longer hides the answer after it.
- The stderr tail is scanned whole before it is cropped for the log, so a
  credential's prefix cannot be cropped away from its secret half.
- The vendor override reads an empty GSTACK_MEMORABLE_BIN as unset, exactly
  as bin/gstack-memorable does, so enable checks the binary the hook runs.

* test: stdin EPIPE observation is scheduling-dependent under shard load; pin the invariant instead

A delivered answer is never reclassified as a spawn error; when the EPIPE is

* docs: list the memorable-recall sink among the fail-closed egress sinks

CLAUDE.md and ARCHITECTURE.md enumerate the receipt sinks that refuse to

was missing from both lists.

* test: memorable bridge tests pass on a runner that enforces file modes; scanner-proof key fixture

- The consent-write-failure tests make the state dir read-only, which also
  blocked the bridge lock directory (exit 5 before the path under test);
  the locks dir is pre-created so only the consent write fails.
- The unreadable-store test leaves a 0600 directory behind (the policy
  script chmods the store path); cleanup restores the search bit and the
  suite's afterEach reopens directories before removing.
- The AWS-key-shaped fixture is built by concatenation, as every sibling
  test does, so the CI credential gate does not read it as a live key.

* fix(browse): write self-contained .gstack/.gitignore unconditionally

ensureStateDir only appended .gstack/ to the project .gitignore when that file
already existed, skipped silently on ENOENT, and swallowed other append
failures. With BROWSE_PERSIST_STATE=1, session-state.json (live cookies +
localStorage/sessionStorage tokens) and browse-network.log / browse-audit.jsonl
(request headers) then sat git-add-able under <git-root>/.gstack/. Write a
self-contained <stateDir>/.gitignore containing "*" unconditionally, before
return, so the state dir's contents can never be committed regardless of the
project .gitignore. The project-.gitignore append is kept as redundant safety.

The no-import-side-effects guard is relaxed to allow exactly this lone
.gitignore guard file (still fails on browse.json / session-state.json / logs /
listener binds) — the guard is written eagerly by ensureStateDir at import and
is not leaked state.

* fix(browse): restore Bun.spawn exited/drain/OOM-cap contract on Node polyfill

The v1.65 fork-port squash silently dropped the `exited` promise, eager
stdout/stderr drain, and 16MB GSTACK_SPAWN_MAX_BUFFER cap that v1.64 added
(#2571), plus the five tests pinning them. On the Windows Node fallback,
`await proc.exited` then resolved to undefined immediately — cookie-import,
isBrowserRunning, and browser-skill children all read stdout before the child
produced it, a silent failure. Re-land the block (keeping v1.65's windowsHide
comment improvements) and re-add the pinning tests.

* fix(ios-qa): compile the private-API touch bridge out of Release builds

PR #2264 claimed DebugBridgeTouch.m (KIF-derived in-process touch synthesis
using private UIKit/IOKit symbols: _touchesEvent, IOHIDEventCreateDigitizer*,
_AXSSetAutomationEnabled) was "compiled out in Release," but the body was gated
only by TARGET_OS_IOS, so a Release iOS build carried the private symbols (App
Store rejection risk). The safety half of the fix (closed PR #2269) never
landed. Gate the body on `#if TARGET_OS_IOS && DEBUG` and add the cSettings
DEBUG define to the DebugBridgeTouch target so `#if DEBUG` is true in debug and
false in release (mirrors the Core/UI swiftSettings). A free static tripwire
pins both halves; the nm/strings symbol proof needs an iOS-SDK build and belongs
in the device/periodic tier.

* docs(egress): state truncation/deletion of the ledger are out of scope

gstack-egress verify catches in-place edits, reordering, and mid-chain deletion
(the hash chain breaks) but not tail-truncation, whole-file re-fabrication, or
deletion — a same-user local actor who owns the ledger defeats those and verify
still exits 0. That matches the stated threat model (forensic observability, not
an exfiltration control). Document it in the header threat model and the usage
text rather than adding a count-sidecar, which would false-positive on every
legitimate rotation and barely raise the bar. Head-anchoring stays the tracked
rotation TODO in lib/egress-receipt.ts.

* fix(ship): scope the App Store Connect key to one app and disclose it at exit

The release flow minted a non-expiring APP_MANAGER key with allAppsVisible:true

checklist. Scope the key to the app being released via the apps relationship
(allAppsVisible:false + an explicit apps association — required, since a
no-app key can see nothing and uploads fail), and disclose the key once in the
closing report with its ASC revocation path. Carve the exit disclosure as the
explicit exception to the mid-run no-credential-talk rule so the
one-authorization-moment contract still holds. Edited the .tmpl source and
regenerated the section.

* harden(browse): constant-time bearer-token comparison in validateAuth

The loopback auth check compared the Authorization header with `===`, whose
byte-by-byte early exit leaks the token prefix through response timing. Use
crypto.timingSafeEqual with a length gate (the length is not secret). Behavior
is unchanged for valid/invalid tokens; auth tests unaffected.

* test: pin the security-property regression guards from pre-landing review

The pre-landing review found the fixes were correct but three regression guards
were missing — each pins a property whose silent revert would keep behavior
identical while reopening the hole:
- validateAuth: a static tripwire asserting crypto.timingSafeEqual + the
  got.length===want.length gate + the null-header guard (a revert to `===`
  keeps accept/reject green but restores the timing side-channel).
- redact: a table-driven loop over the exported URL_PASSWORD_PLACEHOLDER_WORDS
  so a typo or dropped entry can't silently start blocking a doc placeholder;
  plus a substring-can't-rescue-a-real-secret assertion.
- config: assert the self-contained .gitignore is written even when git already
  ignores .gstack/, proving the write precedes the isIgnoredByGit early return.
- bun-polyfill: cover the 128+signal exit branch (POSIX only).

URL_PASSWORD_PLACEHOLDER_WORDS is exported so the table test can't drift.

ARCHITECTURE.md and README.md now carry the same gstack-egress verify

* docs(changelog): describe the all-caps DSN examples without a scannable URL shape

The v1.66.2.0 entry quoted its own headline fix as three literal
postgres://user:PASSWORD@host examples — which the branch's stricter HIGH
gate now correctly flags, failing CI's quality scan on this very PR (the
local pre-push hook passed because the installed gstack still runs the old
engine). Rewrite the three mentions: the reproduce command uses a
fully-braced shell interpolation (suppressed in the diff scan by design,
expands to the real all-caps password at runtime, still exits 3 — verified),
and the table row + Fixed bullet name the password token without the URL
shape. Gate scan on the amended diff: 0 high.

* ci(evals): pre-seed one-time preamble markers for PTY smokes

Root cause of the documented intermittent scope-gate-question-NOT-observed
failure (test/skill-e2e-plan-mode-no-op.test.ts, also PR #2593 rounds 3/11):
on a fresh runner every one-time preamble marker is missing, so each PTY
child runs first-run feature discovery before the behavior under test, and
touching .feature-prompted-model-overlay under ~/.claude/skills/gstack/
trips Claude Code's sensitive-file permission prompt — the run stalls on
that dialog (classified outcome=asked) and the scope gate never renders.
Dev machines never reproduce it because the operator's markers exist.

Seed ~/.gstack one-time markers (.activated, .first-loop-tip-shown,
.telemetry-prompted, .proactive-prompted, .completeness-intro-seen,
.plan-tune-nudge-shown) and both .feature-prompted-* markers (via the
gstack root symlink into the checkout) in the PTY-smoke registration step,
so no first-run prompt can preempt the assertion under test.

* fix: restore main's dependency manifest clobbered by the merge resolution

The v1.67.0.0 merge resolved the package.json conflict wholesale --ours,
which kept this branch's version stamp but erased main's dependency work
(playwright 1.58->1.62 + its patchedDependencies entry, transformers 4.1->4.2,
cross-spawn added, puppeteer-core removed — which is also why main dropped the
basic-ftp pin test: the pinned package left the tree with it — marked/socks
bumps, adm-zip override) while bun.lock auto-merged to main's side. Every CI
job that runs `bun install --frozen-lockfile` failed on the mismatch
(check-freshness, quality, free-tests, gate, windows x2).

Take main's package.json + bun.lock verbatim, re-stamp the version through
gstack-version-bump (1.67.1.0). bun.lock is now byte-identical to main's;
frozen install verified locally; full free suite green for the branch.

1d41ee3ab3 v1.63.0.0 feat: GStack 2 fork port wave — egress receipts, context-bill, sharded gate, /health fix (#2541)
* test(helpers): shared skill-census helper with three explicit counts

physicalSkillFiles (symlinked dirs included, root router included),
authoredSkills (realpath-deduped, router excluded), registryEntries
(what ./setup registers: unique frontmatter names + _gstack-command).

One counting authority for the hermetic seeder, context-bill ground
truth, and the catalog-budget test — connect-chrome's dir symlink and
the root router otherwise produce three subtly different hand-rolled
censuses. Ported-wave foundation (C11).

* fix(evals): stop the harness grading itself

findPreviousRun excluded only the file being written, by name, so every
suite compared against _partial-e2e.json — the current run's own
accumulator, relabelled with the current tier just before each flush.
That is why every block read '+$0.00, +0s, Stable run, no regressions.'
This harness has never been able to detect a regression, and reassuring
output that cannot fail is worse than none. In-progress runs are now
excluded by role, and a run with nothing to compare against says NO
BASELINE instead of claiming stability.

isPartialEval(data, filename) is the one place that decides what counts
as an in-progress accumulator (the _partial flag OR a _partial-prefixed
filename), and findLatestFinalizedRun(evalDir, tier) is the one place
that finds the newest real run — scanning the eval dir plus one level of
shards/<slug>/ subdirs, where the sharded paid runner points each
shard's collector. skill-budget-regression.test.ts's hand-rolled
findLatestRun (flag-blind: a flagged-but-renamed accumulator passed its

* feat(evals): register shipped skills for hermetic PTY children

Hermetic children get a config dir that deliberately seeds no skills —
right for children that install their own, fatal for the PTY family that
TYPES /office-hours or /plan-ceo-review: claude rejects the command as
Unknown before any model turn, so the plan-family gate smokes measure
nothing. hermeticSkillsConfigDir() is a second, opt-in config dir under
the same runRoot that mirrors ./setup's registration exactly (real dir
per registry name, SKILL.md + sections/ symlinks, frontmatter-name
resolution, _gstack-command root alias), driven by the shared
skill-census so connect-chrome's dir symlink collapses the same way
setup's idempotent overwrite does.

Ported from fork commit 03c4eca2, tree walk rewritten for the upstream
layout (top-level <skill>/SKILL.md dirs, no skills/ tree). Unit tests
are new: seed shape, census parity, symlink resolution, connect-chrome
collapse, idempotence, no-API-key seed.

* feat(evals): seedSkills opt-in for PTY slash-command tests + tripwire

Wire ClaudePtyOptions.seedSkills through launchClaudePty: when set (and
hermetic, and no per-test CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR override), the child gets
hermeticSkillsConfigDir() so typed /skill slash commands resolve instead
of dying as Unknown command before any model turn. Opted in at the three
runPlanSkill* helpers and the four direct-launch slash-command tests
(plan-design-with-ui, plan-ceo-mode-routing, autoplan-chain,
ship-idempotency).

New static tripwire (test/pty-skill-seeding-wiring.test.ts): any test
file that sends a slash command over the PTY must route through a
runPlanSkill* helper or pass seedSkills: true — an unseeded slash-command
test spends money and measures nothing. hermetic-wiring.test.ts now
blesses the repo-tree seeding path explicitly (config dir under runRoot,
symlinks into the repo checkout, never operator ~/.claude).

The CI "Register gstack skills for PTY smoke" step keeps a keep-me note:
container cross-mount symlinks defeat the TUI scanner and HOME is not
hermeticized, so the real-file copies there must survive this change.

* refactor(evals): single shared paid-test-set module

test/helpers/paid-test-set.ts is now the one definition of which test
files are paid (the exact globs package.json's test:gate expands).
scripts/test-free-shards.ts derives its free/paid exclusion from it
instead of a private regex list, dropping the dead
browse/test/security-review-fullstack.test.ts pattern (file no longer
exists). The sharded paid runner derives its enumeration from the same
module, so a file added to one list can no longer silently miss the
other.

* feat(evals): env-driven lazy eval dir + shard-aware store and tooling

Importing eval-store no longer spawns the gstack-slug subprocess: the
module-level DEFAULT_EVAL_DIR constant is now a memoized defaultEvalDir()
resolved at collector construction. Resolution order: explicit
constructor arg, then GSTACK_EVAL_DIR, then slug detection — so the
sharded paid runner can point each shard child at its own
<evalDir>/shards/<slug>/ dir with plain env, no --preload.

Runs collected under a shards/ subdir record their slug in the eval
JSON (EvalResult.shard). findPreviousRun scans one shards/<slug>/ level
and prefers same-slug priors, so each shard baselines against its own
history instead of whichever shard flushed last. eval:list,
eval:summary, and eval:compare enumerate the same one level of shard
subdirs; eval:compare's no-arg mode also stops picking an in-progress
accumulator as the after-run.

eval-watch stays flat (documented follow-up): it tails a single dir for
live progress and gains nothing from per-shard baselines until the
runner emits a merged stream.

* feat(evals): sharded paid tier runner

scripts/test-paid-shards.ts runs the gate/periodic tier one Bun process
per test file, with an EXTERNAL wall-clock timeout that SIGKILLs the
shard's detached process group and an aggregate that distinguishes
passed / failed / timed-out / never-started — partial execution can no
longer read as a pass. Bun's native --shard/--isolate covers none of
this: no process-group kill (hung claude/codex PTY grandchildren
survive in-process isolation), no never-started taxonomy, no per-shard
env. Each shard child gets GSTACK_EVAL_DIR=<evalDir>/shards/<slug>/
(slug = test filename sans extension, stable across runs) so shard
baselines compare against their own prior runs.

Output classification lives in scripts/test-strict-output.ts (strict
exit-code derivation, incremental fail-line classifier, child signal
forwarding) so the runner and any future strict bun-test wrapper share
one implementation. Enumeration derives from the shared paid-test-set
module; tier exclusion fires only on an explicit whole-file
EVALS_TIER === '<other>' guard.

package.json gains test:gate:sharded / test:periodic:sharded, and
eval:bg:gate / eval:bg:periodic now run the sharded scripts with detach
timeouts sized to the worst case (gate: 49 shards x 30min / 4 jobs ~
6.2h -> 25200s; periodic: 59 -> 28800s).

test/paid-shards.test.ts pins enumeration, tier classification, and the
kill-and-continue property with a real busy-loop shard.

* feat(security): hash-chained egress receipt ledger (core)

Port lib/egress-receipt from the v2 fork as TypeScript: writeReceipt
(sync, fail-closed via typed EGRESS_RECEIPT_FAILED), best-effort
writeOutcome, readLedger/listReceipts/verifyLedger, GSTACK_HOME ->
GSTACK_STATE_DIR -> ~/.gstack resolution, 0600 ledger under a 0700
security dir, and an mkdir spin lock (2.5s budget) with documented
>10s-mtime stale-lock reclaim.

Changes vs the fork:
- lastRawLine tail-reads the final 4KB instead of loading the whole
  ledger, so appends stay O(1) as the file grows.
- WARN-at-size: past 25MB writeReceipt emits one self-explanatory
  stderr warning per process (what the ledger is, how to inspect it,
  rotation TODO); verifyLedger gains a sizeWarning field. Rotation
  TODO carries the chain-genesis sketch (new generation's first record
  embeds the prior file's tail hash).

bin/gstack-egress-receipt is a bun script bridging shell callers:
write|outcome subcommands, exit 3 + EGRESS_RECEIPT_FAILED on stderr on
failure; --no-payload records sha256:null for git-class ops.

* feat(security): shared shell receipt helpers

bin/gstack-egress-lib.sh (sourced library, gstack-gbrain-lib.sh
precedent) provides _receipted_curl and _receipted_git: write the
egress receipt BEFORE the send via gstack-egress-receipt, hand curl the
SAME payload file via --data-binary @file so the receipt hash matches
the wire bytes exactly, then append a best-effort outcome. Per-call
fail policy: 'closed' refuses the send (return 3, problem/cause/fix
message on stderr) and 'open' warns and proceeds. Payload temp files
are consumed immediately per call — no EXIT traps, since callers like
gstack-telemetry-sync own their own EXIT trap and a sourced trap would
clobber it.

Tested end-to-end against a local Bun.serve listener: receipt sha256
equals the sha256 of the bytes the listener received, fail-closed
refusal never touches the network and carries the problem/cause/fix
stderr shape, fail-open warns and proceeds.

* feat(security): receipt core shell sinks

Wire the three core bash egress sinks through gstack-egress-lib.sh:

- gstack-telemetry-sync: the batch POST now writes the payload to a
  temp file, receipts those exact bytes fail-closed, and hands curl the
  SAME file. On refusal nothing is sent and the cursor does not
  advance, so the batch stays buffered for the next run. The HTTP
  status is recorded as the receipt outcome.
- gstack-update-check: fail-open receipts (warn + proceed) on the
  Supabase ping POST, both VERSION curls (via a local
  _receipted_version_fetch helper that skips non-network schemes), and
  git ls-remote. The ping receipt is written inside the backgrounded
  subshell, so it can never block the script's exit.
- gstack-brain-sync: fail-closed git-class receipts. The push receipt
  is written BEFORE the commit consumes the queue, so a refused receipt
  leaves the queue intact and the next run retries the whole drain
  (pinned by a new queue-intact-on-refusal test, including the
  problem/cause/fix refusal message shape). The retry-path fetch and
  retry push carry their own fail-closed receipts.

* feat(security): receipt TS module sinks + tunnel

writeReceipt (fail-closed, sha256:null — a subprocess or SDK owns the
wire bytes) before every TS-module network-bearing operation:

- bin/gstack-gbrain-sync.ts: before the gbrain code walk that ships
  repo content to the user's gbrain DB (may be remote Postgres). A
  refused receipt fails the stage with status refused-egress-receipt.
- bin/gstack-memory-ingest.ts: before the gbrain batch import of
  transcript pages. A refused receipt returns a system_error verdict
  without spawning the import.
- browse/src/server.ts: before both ngrok.forward call sites (start-up
  BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 path and the /tunnel/start endpoint). A receipt
  failure lands in the existing catch that tears the tunnel listener
  back down and refuses the start.

* feat(design): receipted fetch for OpenAI calls

design/src/receipted-fetch.ts wraps every api.openai.com call: a
content-free egress receipt (sink design-openai, sha256 of the JSON
body — hash only, never the body) is written BEFORE the send. Polarity
is FAIL-OPEN: user-facing generation must not die because an audit log
hiccuped, so a receipt failure warns on stderr and the call proceeds.
Streams pass through untouched (response bodies returned as-is;
non-string request bodies receipted as sha256:null rather than drained
to hash).

All ten call sites converted with per-command payload classes:
generate, variants (injected fetchFn passes through), iterate (both
threaded and fresh paths), evolve (image + screenshot analysis), check,
diff, design-to-code, memory.

Unit-tested with injected fetch: receipt-before-send ordering, stream
passthrough, and fail-open on an unwritable ledger.

* feat(security): receipt admin scripts + user git-ops (zero exceptions)

Wire the remaining shell egress through gstack-egress-lib.sh:

- gstack-gbrain-mcp-verify: both JSON-RPC probe POSTs (initialize +
  tools/list) receipted fail-closed via payload files (hash == wire
  bytes). A refused receipt lands in the NETWORK class — no send.
- gstack-security-dashboard / gstack-community-dashboard: the
  community-pulse GETs receipted fail-open (read-only stats must not
  break over an audit hiccup).
- gstack-gbrain-supabase-provision: api_call receipted fail-closed.
  Each retry attempt hands the helper a fresh copy of the body file
  (the helper consumes its payload). The receipt hashes the request
  body only — the PAT never reaches the ledger or any log. Refusal
  exits 8 without retrying.
- git-class sha256:null receipts, fail-open: gstack-artifacts-init
  (ls-remote, initial push, fetch/pull recovery, retry push),
  gstack-brain-restore (staging clone, existing-repo fetch),
  gstack-session-update (self-update pull).

gstack-team-init needs no wiring: every git clone in it is inside an
echoed instruction string, not an executed command.

The lib now self-locates with shell builtins only (no dirname), so
sourcing works under the whitelist-PATH test harnesses.

* test(security): egress wiring tripwire + polarity contract

Static-grep tripwire pinning the egress-receipt wiring (threat model in
the header: the ledger is forensic observability of ATTEMPTED egress,
not an exfiltration control):

- Per-sink assertions: every wired TS module imports egress-receipt and
  calls writeReceipt; every wired shell sink sources
  gstack-egress-lib.sh with each network op under a receipt;
  ngrok-proximity check for server.ts; every design api.openai.com call
  routes through receiptedFetch.
- Absence assertions: the dead brain-consumer/reader scripts stay
  deleted (lstat, so a dangling symlink also fails).
- Polarity table pinned as data (fail-closed: brain-sync,
  memory-ingest, gbrain-sync, telemetry-sync, ngrok, mcp-verify,
  supabase-provision; fail-open: design-openai, update-check,
  dashboards, git-class user ops, context-bill --exact) plus per-file
  polarity spot-checks.
- NEW-SINK SCANNER with zero KNOWN_UNWIRED: sweeps bin/, lib/,
  scripts/, design/src, browse/src for curl, absolute-URL fetch(, and
  git remote ops (never local rev-parse/get-url; heredoc bodies and
  message strings excluded) and requires every hit to be receipted or
  in a REASONED exemption list where each entry carries its why.
  Preamble-generated skill prose documented out-of-scope in the header.

bin/gstack-egress (bun) — the auditor's view of the receipts ledger:

- list: one row per receipt (what gstack ATTEMPTED to send), with
  --since/--host/--sink filters and --json.
- verify: recompute the hash chain; exit 3 on tamper naming the first
  broken line; prints the sizeWarning when the ledger passes 25MB.
- grants: what CAN leave, built on the upstream config keys only
  (telemetry, artifacts_sync_mode, redact_repo_visibility,
  redact_prepush_hook via gstack-config get) — each grant names its
  file, key, and the exact revoke command.

CLI smoke tests spawn the real bin against a temp GSTACK_HOME,

* feat(cli): context-bill — token bill-of-materials (stripped port)

lib/context-bill.ts, ported from the v2 fork and STRIPPED to the tiers
this repo's skills can exercise: ALWAYS-ON (per-skill frontmatter bytes
with dead-key and foreign-host-file flags), EAGER (SKILL.md + any
forced 'for every invocation' references), on-disk totals, --diff,
--budget, and --exact with the calibration table. The fork's
CONDITIONAL/TRANSITIVE/LAZY/FAST-PATH parsers understand only its
dispatcher layout and were dropped; the tier fields stay in the report
shape (empty/zero/null) so re-adding a parser is additive.
TOKEN_DIVISORS and their provenance docblock kept; --help notes
recalibration via --exact's calibration block.

Three upstream fixes over the fork:
(a) findSkillDirs treats the walk ROOT as a container — the repo root's
    router SKILL.md is billed AND its children are walked (the fork
    short-circuited and billed one skill); walkMd skips node_modules
    and dot-directories.
(b) installed-tree layout: subdirs that are their own repo checkout
    (a gstack/ clone inside ~/.claude/skills, detected by .git) are
    skipped, and directory symlinks (connect-chrome) are followed with
    a container-recursion cycle guard.
(c) ROUTER_KEYS widened to the upstream frontmatter contract {name,
    description, version, allowed-tools, triggers, preamble-tier}.

--exact writes an egress receipt (sink context-bill-exact, host
api.anthropic.com) BEFORE any count_tokens POST; if the receipt cannot
be written the run degrades to the offline estimate with a warning —
nothing is sent unrecorded. bin/gstack-context-bill is the bun shim.

Tests: fixture-tree ledgers, the three fixes, --diff/--budget exit
codes, --exact with injected fetch (envelope subtraction, receipt
ordering, fail-open degradation), CLI smoke test, and ground truth
against THIS repo via test/helpers/skill-census.ts.

* test(catalog): aggregate discovery-surface budget with ratchet protocol

Every host loads every skill's frontmatter name + description at
discovery, every session. applyCatalogTrim in scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts
shapes each description and the 160KB per-file warn covers body size,
but nothing capped the aggregate frontmatter — the catalog could grow
one reasonable-looking description at a time. This test is that
enforcement layer.

Measures the catalog via test/helpers/skill-census.ts authoredSkills
(symlink-deduped, root router counted separately as the _gstack-command
alias line item): 53 skills + router = 4,420 bytes = 1,105
token-equivalents today, asserted <= 1,150 (~4% headroom). Per-skill
sub-cap of 260 bytes (largest today: design-consultation at 229), plus
a non-empty-description check.

Failure messages are self-service ratchets: they print the new total,
the delta, and the update protocol (bump the constant AND the
derivation comment in the same commit; trim instead of grow for
existing descriptions). Parser handles folded block scalars
(description: >-) for fork parity; import-free by design so it
survives generator refactors.

chrome-extension://<GSTACK_EXTENSION_ID> and the Host header's hostname
must parse to 127.0.0.1 or localhost (parsed via new URL, never literal
equality — Host arrives as '127.0.0.1:34567'). Wrong origin/host → 403
with no detail. The tunnel surface 404s the endpoint (not in
TUNNEL_PATHS, verified by test).

The extension ID is pinned by a new "key" field (RSA public key) in
extension/manifest.json; browse/scripts/extension-id.ts reproduces the
ID derivation (first 16 bytes of SHA-256 of the DER public key, hex
mapped 0-9a-f → a-p). The private key is not committed anywhere —
unpacked/baked-in loads only need the public key.

Extension side: background.js bootstraps and refreshes the token via
POST /extension-token (403 → disconnected state); sidepanel.js direct
connect path does the same; sidepanel-terminal.js's dead /health token
fallback (read AUTH_TOKEN/authToken keys the server never sent,
hardcoded port) is replaced with the window.gstackAuthToken path.

MIGRATION NOTE: the manifest key pins the extension ID, so existing
installs' side-panel local state (saved port, snoozes) resets once —
explained in-product via a one-time notice (flag
gstack_id_migrated_v162). After upgrading the server, restart the
browser so the old service worker stops polling for a token GET /health
no longer serves.

* docs: correct stale compiled-binaries claim; file three egress/eval follow-ups

CLAUDE.md's compiled-binaries section claimed browse/dist binaries are
tracked by git and appear as modified in git status — false since
64d5a3e4 (v0.11.16.0) untracked them, and actively harmful: it trained
agents to ignore dist binaries in git status. The section now states
the truth (untracked + gitignored; a dist binary in git status means
someone force-added it) and covers make-pdf/dist too.

TODOS.md gains the three follow-ups filed by the v1.62 port-wave
reviews: ledger rotation with chain-genesis records, launch-nonce
token bootstrap, and eval-watch shard-awareness.

* fix: pre-landing review fixes for the v2 port wave

Review army (checklist + 5 specialists) + coverage/plan audits on the
assembled branch. Genuine correctness/security/hygiene fixes:

- test-paid-shards: strictTestExitCode now receives expectedFiles on the
  real bun path, so a shard that runs fewer files than planned (harness
  crash, nothing loaded) with exit 0 is no longer recorded 'passed' — the
  invisible-non-execution class the runner exists to kill. Pinned by the
  new test/strict-output.test.ts (also covers the chunk-boundary classifier).
- test-paid-shards: EVALS_TIER env is validated (gate|periodic) like the
  --tier flag, so a typo can't self-skip every test and exit 0 green.
- package.json: test:periodic:sharded sets EVALS_ALL=1, restoring the
  full-tier semantics the pre-shard script had (CI already set it; local
  eval:bg:periodic silently under-measured without it).
- brain-sync.test: run() pins HOME to the temp home so gstack-artifacts-init
  stops writing/clobbering the operator's real ~/.gstack-artifacts-remote.txt
  every free-suite run; afterEach now also scrubs the current filename.
- egress-receipt: cap each receipt field at 512B so a serialized line always
  fits the 4KB tail-read window — a longer line would make the next append
  hash a truncated prior line and verifyLedger report a permanent false
  TAMPER. warnLedgerSize short-circuits before statSync once fired (append
  hot path).
- gstack-egress: import.meta.dir (Windows-safe) instead of new URL().pathname
  so grants doesn't silently report defaults on Windows; strip control chars
  from ledger-derived fields on render so a crafted receipt can't spoof the
  auditor's view.
- extension/background.js + CLAUDE.md: renumber the identity-pin migration
  refs v1.62 -> v1.63 (main claimed 1.62.0.0; this wave queue-advances).
- egress-receipt-wiring: pin lib/context-bill.ts unconditionally (both land
  together now); drop the dead RunShardsOptions.tier field.

All fix-affected test files green; gate failures triaged as external-env
(codex/gemini CLI drift) or pre-existing (hermetic-canary fails identically
on base). Deferred polish tracked in the PR body + decision store.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.63.0.0)

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

* docs: file TODO to harden plan-design-with-ui PTY detection

The v1.63 seedSkills change made this gate test execute for the first
time; it reliably times out because its terminal scraper can't parse the
(correctly-rendered) scope-gate AskUserQuestion out of a spinner-mangled
PTY buffer. Shipped skill behavior is correct — test-harness limitation.

* chore: re-slot release as v1.62.1.0 (PATCH per user)

Main claimed 1.62.0.0 while the wave was in flight; the user chose the
PATCH slot over queue-advancing MINOR. Renumbers the identity-pin
migration notice (now version-free flag name so a re-slot never orphans
an already-set flag), the CLAUDE.md /health note, the CHANGELOG heading,
and the TODOS section titles.

* fix(test): stop hard-requiring the literal ok) case label in gbrain-refresh guards

The extractor grepped for 'ok)' but the case label grew to
ok|timeout|thin-client) (#1964, #2051), so the whole file errored on
import — the free suite's only red for months. The extractor now matches
any label starting with ok and its alternations; all 7 guard assertions
run again.

* fix(test): hermetic-canary probes with ${VAR:-} so nounset shells can't fail success

The probe echoed bare $CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_PATH — when scrubbing WORKS
the var is unset, and under a nounset shell the echo errors, failing the
canary exactly when isolation succeeds. Defaulted expansions assert
identically under any shell. Fails identically on base; fixed here.

* fix(evals): absorb codex/gemini CLI drift; external-service tests go periodic-tier

- codex exec gains --skip-git-repo-check: newer CLIs refuse exec in an
  untrusted non-git dir (our temp skill dirs) — empirically verified.
- gemini: --skip-trust was removed in gemini-cli 0.34 (argv parse error);
  dropped from the session runner and the benchmark adapter. A present-
  but-unusable CLI (deprecated individual code-assist auth path) now
  classifies as SKIP, not a false adapter failure; the benchmark live
  smoke skips on auth/rate_limit error codes (environmental) while still
  failing on timeout/unknown (the drift classes it exists to catch).
- codex-e2e, gemini-e2e, and benchmark-providers gain the canonical
  whole-file EVALS_TIER === 'periodic' guard per CLAUDE.md tiering rule 3
  (external service -> periodic) — the sharded gate runner now excludes
  all three (gate: 45 -> 42 shards).

* fix(evals): parse single-logical-line AskUserQuestions in the PTY runner

When the PTY reflows a boxed AUQ, ALL options land on ONE logical line
after stripAnsi — parseNumberedOptions parsed one option per line, found
only '1.', and the >=2 check failed forever while the correct question
sat on screen (plan-design-with-ui timed out this way twice, with the
rendered scope-gate AUQ visible in both failure buffers). The cursor
line is now parsed as a stream of ascending N. tokens; DEC cursor-
visibility residue is stripped before matching; plan-design-with-ui's
budgets grow to fit observed ~6min preamble+thinking latency. Pinned by
test/pty-auq-single-line.test.ts using the real failure buffers; all 142
existing parser-consumer unit tests still green.

* chore: restore v1.63.0.0 (MINOR — user-confirmed final slot)

The wave ships new capability (egress receipts + two CLIs, sharded paid
runner, hermetic skill seeding) at ~8K lines — MINOR scale per the
scale-aware bump rules. Supersedes the brief v1.62.1.0 re-slot; the
version-free migration flag means no state churn from the renumber.

* test: spell out AskUserQuestion in the PTY single-line fixture

Rename test/pty-auq-single-line.test.ts to
test/pty-askuserquestion-single-line.test.ts and expand the AUQ
abbreviation in identifiers and comments. House style writes
AskUserQuestion in full in filenames, identifiers, and comments.

* docs: sync every doc surface with the v1.63 release

/document-release audit (4-lane, all claims verified against branch code):

- README: gstack-egress + gstack-context-bill rows in the standalone-binaries
  table; Privacy & Telemetry gains the receipted-egress bullet (attempted-
  egress framing per the shipped threat model).
- ARCHITECTURE: /health is liveness-only, POST /extension-token endpoint row
  + bootstrap mechanics paragraph; new Egress receipt ledger subsection under
  Security model; eval persistence covers the sharded runner, GSTACK_EVAL_DIR,
  and the finalized-run baseline rule.
- CLAUDE.md: sharded test scripts in Commands; sharded semantics in the
  detached-evals section; PTY skill seeding in the hermetic section; egress
  invariant block beside the other server-egress invariants; catalog-budget
  ceiling beside the 160KB token ceiling; project-tree entries for
  lib/egress-receipt.ts, lib/context-bill.ts, scripts/test-paid-shards.ts.
- CONTRIBUTING: seedSkills + live-tree seeding in the hermetic paragraph;
  sharded runner in detached runs; catalog-budget in the Tier 1 list.
- BROWSER: extension token bootstrap section, tunnel egress receipts section,
  identity-pin migration note in manual install.
- REMOTE_BROWSER_ACCESS: tunnel-start receipt bullet in the security model.
- gbrain docs: /sync-gbrain + brain-sync egress-receipt behavior documented;
  dead consumer-token instructions removed (consumer machinery deleted this
  release); new fail-closed refusal added to the error catalog.
- CHANGELOG: measured-vs-ceiling catalog numbers, contributor notes for the
  external-service tier move and the PTY single-line AskUserQuestion parser,
  release date.
- TODOS: /health token-distribution TODO resolved by this release, removed;
  port-wave follow-up sections re-labeled to the shipped version.

* docs: sweep drift that predates this release

Surfaced by the /document-release audit; every fix verified against the
current binaries:

- gstack-brain-init was replaced by gstack-artifacts-init in v1.27.0.0
  (hard-delete, no compat shim), but README, USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK,
  docs/gbrain-sync.md, and docs/gbrain-sync-errors.md still instructed
  users to run it — command-not-found on every follow. Same sweep updates
  ~/.gstack-brain-remote.txt to the canonical ~/.gstack-artifacts-remote.txt
  (legacy name still honored on restore, noted where users copy the file).
- gbrain-sync-errors.md headings re-matched to the literal messages the
  binaries print today (the doc's whole value is grep-by-exact-message):
  'gstack-artifacts-init: ~/.gstack/ is already a git repo pointing at:',
  'Remote not reachable via SSH:', 'Failed to create or find ...'. The
  already-a-repo fix now leads with the command's own set-url suggestion.
- docs/gbrain-sync.md 'Under the hood' linked a plan file that does not
  exist in the repo; replaced with the decisions themselves.
- SIDEBAR_MESSAGE_FLOW startup timeline: /pty-session responds with
  {terminalPort, sessionId, attachToken, leaseExpiresAt} (v1.44 shape,
  verified at browse/src/server.ts:1860), not the retired
  {terminalPort, ptySessionToken} pair.

* docs: fold the Codex accuracy review of the release docs

Six findings, all verified against source before fixing:

1. 'Every send writes a receipt' overclaimed — fail-open sinks proceed with
   a stderr warning when the receipt write fails, so a fail-open send can go
   unrecorded (lib/egress-receipt.ts:8-14). Descriptive prose now says so;
   the receipted framing keeps 'attempted'.
2. 'Receipts hash the request body' is wrong for subprocess-owned sends —
   git pushes record sha256: null (lib/egress-receipt.ts:71).
3. 'grants shows every consent in force' overclaimed — it reports the four
   standing config settings (bin/gstack-egress:139-181). Reworded in
   README, ARCHITECTURE, and the CHANGELOG entry.
4. 'Zero-exception scanner' vs reality: the new-sink scanner carries a
   reasoned SCANNER_EXEMPT list (user-directed fetches, probes, instruction
   strings, skill prose). CLAUDE.md now names it.
5. Error-catalog cause/fix for the receipt refusal: the writer mkdirs the
   ledger dir itself, so 'missing' isn't a cause and bare chmod fails when
   it is absent — cause reworded, fix is mkdir -p && chmod.
6. gbrain-sync first-run steps described the retired binary's behavior:
   default repo is gstack-artifacts-$USER, and init PRINTS the gbrain
   hookup command (never auto-executes; bin/gstack-artifacts-init:384-419).
