feat(evals): arm benchmark runs each fixture's functional oracle — correctness before LOC
The plan's metric order is diff-quality FIRST, but cells never ran the fixtures' own run-tests.js, so a refusal, a broken implementation, and working code were indistinguishable in aggregates (Codex adversarial catch). Tasks with an oracle declare checkCmd; every cell records checks=pass|fail|none in the report line and eval store. Selftest pins the oracle declarations and that the planted bug fails its own check pre-fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(autoplan): define the B2 gate path — accepted premise challenges amend the plan and re-run Eng
The final gate offered B2 (respond to User Challenges) but the option handler table omitted it, leaving accepted challenges with no amendment or Eng re-review path. B2 now walks challenges one at a time; an accepted one amends the plan and re-runs Eng (the gate always reviews the final plan), sharing D's 3-cycle cap.

fix(review): a gstack-shortcut marker only suppresses findings when its decision id resolves in the ledger
Cross-model catch (Claude adversarial + Codex agreed): any diff author could fabricate a marker and silence Completeness review of that gap. Reviewers now resolve the dec-id via gstack-decision-search; an orphan marker is reported as a forged suppression, not honored as debt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(sandbox-doctor): keep both heredoc bodies under the 512B pipe-deadlock window
The cycle-2 additions pushed the python-patch and bashrc heredocs into the 512-65536B window test/heredoc-pipe-deadlock.test.ts guards (sh scripts get no BASH_COMPAT escape hatch). Same content, tighter prose; the drift warning now reuses the patch pattern variable instead of a second literal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

refactor(evals): arm-benchmark selftest runs FREE on every PR
The selftest lived inside the paid skill-e2e-* file, so fixture-integrity and plumbing pins executed weekly at best — a broken fixture would ship past every gating check and be discovered when the periodic run burned money on a dead instrument. Harness extracted to test/helpers/arm-benchmark-harness.ts, selftest to test/arm-benchmark-selftest.test.ts (free suite). Touchfiles: harness added to the three benchmark dep lists; the auq-repetition-cut-ab tier comment now states the MANUAL re-run obligation honestly (periodic runs force EVALS_ALL, so dep lists cannot auto-trigger it).

test(digest): pin the script-anchored explainer path; catch declaration-prefixed writers

fix(sandbox-doctor): loud on git-shim patch drift; document the retry-contract override
- The /conductor/bin/git patch was a silent no-op if the shim's bytes drift from the exact pattern — now warns that laundering is NOT fixed. - The bashrc block documents why GSTACK_FREE_RETRY_FLAKY=1 deliberately overrides the runner's default-OFF contract on this sandbox, and how to undo it. - Test pins the guarded shm form (missing /dev/shm must not abort set -eu).

fix(next-version): a configured origin advertising zero heads is never trusted
The originConfigured guard covered only the no-origin laundering case. With origin configured (the normal Conductor worktree state), the laundering shim makes a failed ls-remote exit 0 with empty stdout — read as 'the queue is empty', the exact duplicate-allocation bug (#2545) one layer up. A reachable remote always advertises at least its default branch, so an exit-0 zero-head probe now falls back to local refs/remotes/origin with a laundering-specific warning. Regression test shims git for both configurations. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(test-runner): flaky-retry vetoes on ANY unattributable failure evidence
The gate equated 'some failure attributed' with 'all failures attributed': a shard with one attributed failure plus a headerless failure, an unhandled error between tests, or a truncated run (no terminal summary) qualified for retry — re-running only failingFiles and masking the rest as FLAKY-PASS, re-opening the silent-truncation hole the strict classifier closes. FreeShardOutcome now carries unattributedFailures; nonzero vetoes the retry. Pins: mixed shard, truncated-with-attributed shard, empty-shard field values.

fix(release): digest regen is an explicit --regen-digest opt-in, not presence-sniffed code exec
Review (security) caught the cycle-1 fix executing any repo's scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts on plain 'write' — arbitrary code exec from a hostile clone on a routine bump, contradicting the binary's own containment posture. The regen still runs the TARGET repo's generator (a 'trusted' copy beside the binary would false-red the freshness gate on version drift), but only under the flag: /ship passes it deliberately, in a repo whose code the operator already executes (its test suite). Plain write is side-effect-free again. Also: uniform output shape (agentsDigest: null on the JSON-manifest branch), a REAL generator round-trip test replacing the misnamed lockstep check, and land-and-deploy's evidence gate gets the same digest allow-path as ship so the two grading surfaces agree.

test: regression pin for the originConfigured guard vs laundering git shims
On healthy hosts the guarded and unguarded paths behave identically, so a revert passes the suite; only a shim that makes 'git ls-remote' exit 0 with empty output (the Conductor wrapper's observed behavior) exposes it. Pins that the empty 'successful' probe is never trusted as an empty queue. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(evals): arm-benchmark harvest and judge hardening
- Harvest diffs against the recorded seed SHA (origin/main is movable by an agent that commits AND pushes; a recorded SHA is not). - Fixtures get a node_modules .gitignore and the git wrapper a 64MB maxBuffer, so a vendored-dependency arm is scored instead of killing the cell. - The judge diff cap is a named constant with loud truncation (log + judge_reasoning suffix). - Judge prompt block markers carry a per-call random sentinel, so a diff containing a faked closing marker cannot escape the data block.

fix(release): version-bump write regenerates the version-stamped agents digest
agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md embeds VERSION in its first line and is byte-freshness-gated (test/agents-digest.test.ts + Skill Docs Freshness CI), but nothing in the release path regenerated it — every version-bumping ship of this repo would land red. write now spawns the repo's own generator when present (agentsDigest true/false/null in the output JSON), and ship's evidence gate allow-lists the digest alongside VERSION/package.json.

fix(config): converge on main's self-contained sha8_of — its tests extract the function standalone

fix(next-version): only trust ls-remote when origin is actually configured
Without the guard, git DWIMs the literal 'origin' as an ssh host/path; on hosts whose transport launders exit codes the probe 'succeeds' with zero branches and the allocator silently sees an empty queue — the exact duplicate-allocation failure (#2545) fetchGitClaimed exists to prevent. git remote get-url origin gates the probe; absence falls through to the existing local-refs path with its staleness warning.

fix(browse): portable temp paths — TEMP_DIRS allowlist, tmpdir()-based test files
Local path validation now accepts os.tmpdir() alongside the classic /tmp (new TEMP_DIRS in platform.ts): on macOS os.tmpdir() is /var/folders/..., and TMPDIR-honoring CI/sandbox environments point it elsewhere entirely — both are legitimate scratch space. Remote file serving (TEMP_ONLY) stays pinned to TEMP_DIR alone; no change to the exfil boundary. commands.test.ts drops 41 hardcoded /tmp literals for a tmpp() helper on os.tmpdir() (two message assertions now reference the same variable), and path-validation's symlink-escape test targets /etc/hosts instead of /etc/crontab — the target must EXIST for realpath to resolve the link (a dangling target falls back to the link's own path and passes vacuously), and /etc/crontab is absent on Amazon Linux.

feat(test-runner): GSTACK_FREE_JOBS + opt-in flaky-retry pass for syscall-supervised sandboxes
GSTACK_FREE_JOBS overrides the computed shard count (the free runner's analogue of the paid runner's EVALS_JOBS). On Vercel sandboxes, PID 1 installs a seccomp filter whose supervisor spuriously fails access(2) for busy processes — measured: 200/200 git-init probes fail 'Cannot access work tree: Permission denied' while the suite runs at 6 shards, 0/200 idle; statx succeeds while access fails on the same path in the same process. One serial mega-shard maximizes per-process pressure and fails too; 2 shards is the measured sweet spot. GSTACK_FREE_RETRY_FLAKY=1 (default OFF — dev boxes should see flakes) re-runs attributed failures once, serially, capped at 5 files; a clean retry downgrades to a loud FLAKY-PASS naming the offenders, a repeat failure stays red, timeouts and unattributed failures never retry.

v1.72.0.0 feat: Aside recommended driver for third-party web actions (#2710)
* fix(browse): never chmod shared, symlinked, or foreign-owned dirs to 0700 restrictDirectoryPermissions unconditionally chmodded its target. On hosts where the process holds CAP_FOWNER (Docker as root, CI sandboxes) that chmod SUCCEEDS on root-owned /tmp whenever a state file is configured there (BROWSE_STATE_FILE=/tmp/x.json derives stateDir=/tmp), and a 0700 /tmp breaks access(2)-based checks machine-wide for every other process. The POSIX branch now refuses shared sticky dirs, world-writable mounts under root, foreign-owned dirs, and symlinked state dirs; refusals warn once per process instead of failing silent; owned-but-unreadable dirs keep their chmod self-repair; and the check-then-act race is closed with fd-anchored O_NOFOLLOW + fstat/fchmod on a single inode. Regression tests cover the sticky-dir, foreign-uid, mkdirSecure-reapply, and symlinked-dir shapes. * fix: hash with sha256sum before shasum on Linux (config slugs + setup verify) shasum is perl/macOS; coreutils-only Linux ships sha256sum. Two call sites hard-coded shasum: gstack-config's sha8_of/sha16 (so resolve-user-slug exited 127 for any Linux user with a git email, the Layer-3 fallback) and the generated bun-installer checksum snippet in the browse/qa NEEDS_SETUP flow (spurious "checksum mismatch" on the same distros). Both now resolve sha256sum first and fall back to shasum -a 256. New shim-PATH tests pin BOTH hasher branches of sha8_of to a known vector and cover the sha8->sha16 collision escalation end to end. * feat(contract): Aside is the recommended driver for third-party web actions The Third-Party Web Actions contract (ship, spec, office-hours, land-and-deploy, setup-deploy) now names the Aside AI browser as the recommended driver: it acts across the user's real logged-in sessions, which is what vendor-dashboard moments need. Supersedes the v1.65.0.0 de-Aside stance by explicit user directive (2026-08-27). Detection is a runtime probe (command -v + aside --version under a portable gtimeout/timeout/bare guard; nonzero exit = not detected). Consent options render per detection state with Aside recommended and the first-party stack ($B headed + handoff, GStack Browser) as the universal fallback. Absent on macOS, the contract mentions the aside.com download (macOS 15+) once per task; gstack never runs an installer and binary presence is never consent. Drive discipline: step-wise over whole-task delegation, vendor confirm mode on, vendor skill/--help text scoped to operational syntax only, secrets minimized (autofill / human-used copy buttons), Apple credential creation never a drive target in any skill, failure path quotes redacted errors and falls back only with fresh consent. test/third-party-actions.test.ts pins every load-bearing sentence (21 tests) plus repo-wide tripwires: an aside command allowlist (--version/--help only, code spans AND prose) and a ban on Aside installer invocations across all generated docs. Budget ratchet fixture and carve skeleton ceilings refreshed in this commit per the ratchet protocol. * chore: regenerate remaining browse-setup snippet consumers The sha256sum-first checksum fallback in the generated NEEDS_SETUP snippet renders into every browse-consuming skill, not just browse/qa. Mechanical regen of the other ten consumers; no template changes here. * test: consent-gate E2E suite + functional fs-capability probes Five hermetic gate-tier E2E cases (tpa-present / absent-linux / broken / absent-darwin / apple-ban) drive the real contract section through claude -p with PATH shims for aside and uname; the absent cases filter any REAL aside binary out of the child PATH and assert absence with Bun.which before spawning, so dev machines cannot leak into detection. Registered per-case in E2E_TOUCHFILES/E2E_TIERS with template-level deps (ship/SKILL.md.tmpl, gen-skill-docs.ts) and added to the evals.yml matrix with tier: gate. eval:bg:periodic's detach timeout rises to 36000s for the grown periodic shard census (floor-enforced by test/eval-detach-timeout-floor.test.ts); CLAUDE.md doc updated to match. test/helpers/fs-caps.ts adds canRevokeWrites/canRevokeReads functional probes; 13 chmod-based tests swap their uid-0-only guards for the probes so suites skip honestly on CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE containers (this sandbox: uid 1000 with full caps) instead of asserting revocations the kernel ignores. path-validation's symlink test targets /etc/passwd (exists everywhere; /etc/crontab is absent on Amazon Linux). * docs: file the Aside follow-ups in TODOS Phase-2 QA logged-in-evidence path (P3), a hostile-vendor-skill E2E for the contract's override sentence (P2), and fd-anchoring the file-level permission writes to match the directory hardening (P3). * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.72.0.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: update project documentation for v1.72.0.0 docs/skills.md: Third-Party Web Actions subsection under /ship (Aside recommended driver, consent rules, credential boundaries). BROWSER.md: "Aside and third-party drives" subsection under Real-browser mode + ToC entry, including the no-gstack-side-audit-trail caveat (ship adversarial finding 12). TODOS.md: mark the finding-12 doc note done. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: apply cross-model doc review fixes for v1.72.0.0 docs/skills.md: restore the /ship closing line above the new subsection. BROWSER.md: ToC label matches the heading; BROWSE_STATE_FILE env row documents the new dir-hardening refusal + one-time warning. CHANGELOG: correct the hasher precedence wording (sha256sum first, shasum fallback) and the fs-caps count (14 test files, verified against the diff). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: close cross-model doc-review gaps for v1.72.0.0 setup's manual bun-verify instruction gets the same sha256sum-first fallback the automated snippet got (coreutils-only Linux); BROWSER.md's BROWSE_STATE_FILE row now lists the under-root world-writable refusal; test-cost ceilings in CLAUDE.md/CONTRIBUTING.md updated for the five new gate E2E cases (~$4.20 E2E / ~$4.35 evals). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): gate the symlink-refusal test to POSIX and drop the umask assumption The symlink regression test exercised the POSIX O_NOFOLLOW branch but ran on Windows, where restrictDirectoryPermissions takes the icacls branch and stat has no POSIX modes (0o666 always) — windows-free-tests failed on mode 493 vs 438. Early-return on win32 like every sibling test in the file, and assert the target's mode is UNCHANGED (captured post-mkdir) instead of hardcoding 0o755, which a strict umask would also break.

test: absorb the ponytail-import wave into the guard fixtures — ceilings, schema pin, triad phrasing
Skeleton ceilings re-captured for the 17 carved skills the wave deliberately
grew (reuse ladder + bounded closer + shortcut trail, net of the gated -236B
AUQ cut), each with its measured size in the comment per the carve-guards
protocol. eval-store schema pin updated to v2 (harvest gains
insertions/deletions/net). The AUQ prose-triad keeps its pinned per-choice
phrasing ('explicit on EACH choice') while still deferring the score scale to
the canonical Format rule — the shipped cut is strictly closer to the pre-cut
text than the render that already passed the NOT-WORSE gate. Autoplan carve
anchors follow the Phase 2.5 renumbering. Golden ship baselines re-captured.

feat(evals): with-skill vs without-skill arm benchmark — measures whether gstack's behavioral layer earns its tokens
Ponytail's honest-benchmark method pointed at gstack itself: 3 build-shaped
tasks (native-platform over-build trap, CRUD endpoint, bug fix with planted
decoys) x 2 arms, real claude -p sessions, scored on the git diff left
behind. A research instrument, not a release gate — no assertion compares
arm scores.
Arms use the PROVEN project-scope pattern: the with-arm installs a
build-discipline skill (extracted reuse-ladder + bounded-closer content, not
whole-file copies) into the fixture's .claude/skills/ with a CLAUDE.md
routing line and an explicit invocation; a live spike confirmed claude -p
discovers and invokes project-scope skills via the Skill tool (3 turns,
exact-output probe). Fixtures are git init + local bare origin; diff capture
is three lines of git, no worktree machinery.
Failure taxonomy: zero-diff arms are VALID scored cells (deterministic
0/none, no API call), harvest failures record harvest:null, judge_error
cells are excluded from aggregates but named in the report — nothing drops
silently. armJudge: fixed sonnet judge, 0-3 unrequested-structure rubric,
must name the construct or say none, bounded retry-on-malformed; callJudge
gains optional temperature/max_tokens (defaults unchanged). recordE2E now
populates tokens_used for every E2E. Eval schema v2: harvest gains
{insertions, deletions, net}, tolerant reads keep v1 runs comparable.
Registered periodic in E2E_TIERS + touchfiles (with the auq-repetition-cut
A/B); periodic detach timeout raised to the new shard-census floor. Free
selftest (8 tests, zero API) pins fixtures, extraction, arm asymmetry, diff
capture, judge plumbing, and the retry bound.

feat(hosts): instruction-only tier — a 2KB committed rules digest any agent host can read
New agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md (1,765 bytes, hard 2,048-byte budget): gstack's ethos one-liners, the reuse ladder, and voice rules for hosts with no install arm — Zed, Amp, Jules, or any AGENTS.md-reading agent. Generated by scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts, auto-refreshed by gen:skill-docs, committed like llms.txt so setup's explainer arms can point at it before any toolchain exists. First line carries the gstack version as its own staleness nudge. Delivery is print-path + user-performed copy ONLY: setup never writes or overwrites a user's AGENTS.md (a test pins this — no cp/ln/mv/redirect into AGENTS.md anywhere in setup). openclaw and hermes explainer arms print the path; slate keeps routing to the full Claude install and gbrain ships from its own repo. HostConfig gains the optional install.instructionTier slot, declared by both instruction-tier hosts. README host table now matches what setup actually does. Inspired by dietrichgebert/ponytail's instruction-tier AGENTS.md fallback — one generated source, never per-host hand copies. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

test: refresh golden ship baselines after preamble additions (reuse ladder + bounded closer)
The golden-file regression test pins the rendered ship skill byte-for-byte; the WS3/WS7 preamble sections are deliberate changes, so the baselines re-capture per the goldens' own update protocol. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(retro,preamble): gstack-shortcut debt ledger — accepted shortcuts leave a joined trail
When the user accepts an option that is BOTH Completeness <= 7 AND a durable-scope call, the decision ledger entry (gstack-decision-log, ceiling + upgrade trigger in the rationale) is the source of truth, and the agent marks each cut corner in code with gstack-shortcut(dec-<id>): <ceiling>, upgrade when <trigger> — same edit, no follow-up question, never agent-initiated. /retro Step 11.5 harvests markers into a debt ledger (grep || true — zero matches is the healthy case; skill installs and docs excluded), joins on the decision id so nothing double-counts, tags unlinked and no-trigger rot risks, and closes with 'N markers, M with no trigger.' /review suppressions: a marker with ceiling+trigger downgrades a would-be Completeness Gaps finding to acknowledged debt. Redaction test pins that the marker ships untouched (the ledger is the point) — it does not match the TODO(owner) hygiene shape. Format from dietrichgebert/ponytail's ponytail-debt; store inverted to gstack's existing decision ledger. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

docs(resolvers): terse-mode savings claim matches measurement — 2.6KB, not 3-5KB

feat(preamble): bounded-closer output rule for tier-2+ skills
After completing work, skills report in a few short lines — what changed, what was skipped, what to watch — and cut any explanation that outgrows the change. Explicit exemptions protect every mandated output: decision briefs, completion-status blocks, user-requested explanations, and report-shaped skills' report formats (the report IS the work in /qa-only, /plan-*-review, /retro, /document-generate). Rationale is signal-to-noise, not tokens: ponytail's own benchmark shows terse prose alone doesn't cut cost (caveman arm: -20% LOC, +7% tokens), and independent replications found its 'skipped on purpose' essays ate the code savings. Includes a good/bad closer example pair per the model-overlay guidance that a positive example beats a 'don't be verbose' instruction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(preamble): reuse ladder in Search Before Building — rungs 2-5 of ponytail's ladder, completeness kept
Tier-3+ skills gain a per-edit reflex the section only stated as research discipline: before writing new code, stop at the first rung that holds — repo helper, stdlib, native platform feature, installed dependency — then build the COMPLETE version of what remains. The closing clause is the explicit reconciliation with Boil the Ocean: the ladder governs structure, never coverage. Rungs 1/6/7 (YAGNI / one line / minimum that works) are deliberately NOT imported. Also ports ponytail's root-cause rule: one guard in the shared function beats a guard in every caller. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(review): simplification specialist — advisory over-engineering lens with ponytail's tag vocabulary
New 8th Review Army specialist (DIFF_LINES > 100, --simplification force flag) hunting unrequested STRUCTURE only: delete/stdlib/native/speculative/shrink closed tags, one-line findings, lines_removable field. speculative: replaces ponytail's yagni: tag — we import the lens, not the posture; coverage stays sacred (Completeness Gaps owns it, suppressions inlined, shrink needs >=5 lines). Advisory carve-out in the merge step: advisory findings are excluded from quality_score and the findings-count header, render with an [ADVISORY] label, and are ASK-only in Fix-First. Zero-findings case prints the lens-scoped 'Simplification: lean already — nothing to cut.' from the PARENT (the specialist keeps the exact NO FINDINGS contract); with findings, the parent prints 'net: -N lines possible' summed from lines_removable. Tests: static pins for the carve-out + early-out contract (gen-skill-docs), two periodic e2e cases with planted fixtures — activation (over-build traps: hand-rolled Intl, one-impl abstract, dead config) and false-flag precision (a lean ETHOS 'choose A' diff must yield NO FINDINGS).

feat(autoplan): eng review always runs last — the gate reviews the final amended plan
Reorder the pipeline to CEO -> Design (if UI scope) -> DX (if developer-facing scope) -> Eng. The old order (CEO -> Design -> Eng -> DX) let DX findings land AFTER the required gate signed off, so eng validated a stale plan. Accept-all semantics made explicit: every AskUserQuestion resolves to the recommended option; premises no longer pause the pipeline mid-run (clearly-wrong ones queue as User-Challenge items at the single Final Approval Gate). Eng's Codex voice now sees the DX consensus summary. New free static test pins the order; the chain E2E gains DX-between and Eng-terminal assertions.

v1.71.0.0 feat: token-load reduction — preamble runtime scripts, gated onboarding, 20 skill carves, CLAUDE.md trim (#2691)
* feat(gen): strip gen-time-only frontmatter keys from Claude renders
interactive + benefits-from are read from the .tmpl by buildContext at
generation time; no runtime, host, or test reader consumes them from the
generated SKILL.md (e2e-harness-audit reads .tmpl; benefits-from tests
assert rendered prose). gbrain: stays (bin/gstack-brain-context-load reads
it from the installed render); hooks: stays (Claude Code host wires
PreToolUse from it).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* chore(gen): regenerate SKILL.md — dead frontmatter keys removed
Mechanical regen after hosts/claude.ts stripFields change.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(test): context-budget ratchet — CI ceilings on always-on + eager token ledgers
New free test grades the two ledgers nothing else guards: the full-frontmatter
always-on catalog (aggregate) and per-skill eager tokens (SKILL.md +
forced-read refs), via checkBudget from lib/context-bill.ts. Ceilings live in
test/fixtures/context-budget.json with x1.05/x1.10 headroom; regenerate with
bun test/helpers/capture-context-budget.ts. New skills fail until consciously
budgeted; removed skills fail until the fixture is refreshed; reductions
ratchet the ceilings down so wins lock in.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(todos): file output-template carve wave + plan-ceo doctrine revisit; mark preamble-carve P3 in flight
Two follow-ups deferred from the approved token-reduction program (CEO review
'NOT in scope' list), filed with full context per TODOS format. The existing
P3 preamble-carve entry gets a status update pointing at the program that
supersedes it.

* fix(test): review findings — Windows path normalization, full totals rebuild, ratchet coverage
Pre-landing review (5 specialists) found one critical: the ratchet test runs
in the curated Windows lane, where path.relative yields backslash skill names
that miss the test/ filter and mismatch every POSIX fixture key. Names are now
normalized once in buildRatchetBill (toPosixName) and the fixture filter is
tightened to test/fixtures/. All eight Bill.totals fields are rebuilt from the
filtered list (no fixture-polluted perInvocation/totalMd numbers for future
consumers). New coverage: Windows-separator normalization pins, a
captureContextBudget round-trip against tree-a (headroom math exact), a
stripFields regression pin (interactive/benefits-from absent from renders,
hooks/gbrain preserved), and the ceilings test no longer double-reports
stale-fixture entries.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(test): adversarial findings — stable root key, symlink-alias dedupe, fixture-shape guard
Adversarial review (Claude subagent) verified the fixture's root-skill key was
the capture machine's checkout dirname: any non-gstack-named clone (every
Conductor worktree) failed the free suite, and the documented re-run-the-capture
recovery baked the local dirname into the committed fixture — silent corruption
through the tool's own protocol. The root skill is now pinned to ROOT_SKILL_KEY
('gstack', its frontmatter name). Symlink aliases are realpath-deduped (census
precedent): connect-chrome no longer gets its own ceiling, so Windows checkouts
that materialize the symlink as a plain file can't fail the stale-ceiling
set-equality test. New guards: fixture-shape validation (a string alwaysOnTotal
can no longer silently disable the ceiling), a mutation pin that the filter
shrinks the always-on ledger vs the raw bill, an alwaysOnTotal violation test
(the branch was load-bearing with only under-budget coverage), and an atomic
temp+rename fixture write. Fixture regenerated: 59 ceilings, alwaysOnTotal 6344.
Deferred with a TODO: anchoring transformFrontmatter's denylist strip to the
frontmatter block (latent, zero live collisions, pre-existing path).

CLAUDE.md: Token ceiling section documents the context-budget ratchet as
the third guard (test file, fixture, new-skill budgeting, capture command).
CONTRIBUTING.md: Tier 1 guard list gains a Context-budget ratchet bullet;
the Adding-a-new-skill checklist gains the budget-capture step.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: pin exact guard semantics for the context-budget ratchet in CLAUDE.md
Doc-review finding: "a third enforced ceiling" undercounted the guard
family (skill-size-budget floors and parity ratios also watch these
ledgers, relatively). Rephrased to match the ratchet test's own header:
absolute ceilings vs relative floors/ratios.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(bin): gstack-skill-start + gstack-skill-end — the preamble runtime, consolidated
Absorbs the ~13KB of bash every tier-2+ SKILL.md inlined twice over (bootstrap
fence + artifacts-sync fence) and the skill-end telemetry/sync fences. Same
KEY: value STATUS-line contract the prose interprets, plus SKILL_START_PROTO
handshake (OV5), SESSION_ID/TEL_START echoes, GSTACK_HOME-normalized state
paths (EOV7), --parent-pid session identity (EOV5: $PPID inside the script is
the ephemeral tool-call shell), OV4 sanitization of passthrough output, and a
receipted daily artifacts pull (_receipted_git, brain-sync class, fail-closed).
Per-line || true error style throughout (F3) — a mid-script failure never drops
later STATUS lines.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(gen): preamble resolvers emit a script invocation fence instead of inline bash
generate-preamble-bash: ~6.3KB fence -> 4-line gstack-skill-start invocation
(quoted-tilde pitfall handled: leading ~ interpolates through $HOME; env-var
hosts keep $GSTACK_BIN) + degraded-mode prose (F1/EOV8: safe defaults, consent
gates deferred-never-lost; OV5: proto rule). generate-brain-sync-block: ~6.8KB
bash -> interpretation prose + the privacy stop-gate (stays inline until
Phase 2's gated emission). generate-completion-status: telemetry fence -> one
gstack-skill-end call with SESSION_ID/TEL_START handoff.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* chore(gen): regenerate all skills + golden fixtures — inline preamble bash removed
Mechanical regen after the resolver change: −12,628 lines across 52 renders
(corpus 952K -> 806K render tokens; tier-2 skills −11-13KB each). Golden

v1.70.1.0 fix: ship names the /document-release subagent at every decision point (tripwire + gate E2E) (#2700)
* fix(ship): name the /document-release subagent at every Step 18 decision point The v1.54.0.0 carve moved Step 18 (documentation sync) into ship/sections/pr-body.md and the Claude-host skeleton stopped saying "document-release" anywhere in the workflow body — the dispatch became invisible at exactly the moments an agent decides whether to open the section. Restore visibility at three touchpoints, all subagent-framed (never bare-slash-framed, which would invite an inline Skill invocation that bypasses the fresh-context subagent + JSON contract): - manifest trigger (renders into the section-index row AND the STOP pointer): "dispatching the /document-release subagent to sync docs (Step 18) and then creating or updating the PR/MR (Step 19)" - Step 17 handoff line names Step 18's dispatch explicitly - new hoisted doc-sync invariant beside the PR-title invariant: the dispatch itself is never skipped; only a failed subagent is non-blocking Pin it in carve-guards: 'the /document-release subagent' (all three touchpoints) + 'dispatches the /document-release subagent' (invariant) must stay in the skeleton; the carved imperative 'Dispatch /document-release as a subagent' must stay carved. Skeleton cap 91,600 → 92,300 (measured 91,764; trigger renders twice). Goldens regenerated for all three hosts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: pin the ship→document-release Step 18 wiring with a free tripwire Five substring/structure asserts across the carved section, the Claude skeleton's three touchpoints, the manifest trigger, and the codex/factory goldens (inlined Step 18 ordered before Step 19). Claude-golden asserts deliberately omitted: host-config.test.ts already enforces golden == generated byte-for-byte. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: gate-tier E2E proving /ship dispatches the document-release subagent New skill-e2e-ship-docsync: a live agent gets the sliced Step 17→19 tail of the generated ship skeleton in a bare-remote git fixture (Steps 0-16 "done"), under a fake HOME so the STOP pointer and the Step 18 subagent prompt resolve to planted copies, with a stub document-release skill that returns the empty-result JSON contract. Hard assert: an Agent/Task tool-call matching /document-release/i exists in result.toolCalls and precedes any `gh pr create`. Neutral prompt (no STOP-Read priming, no document-release mention — the prompt echoes into the transcript, so asserts read toolCalls only). Hardening from review: throw-on-marker-drift fixture slice; per-test GSTACK_HOME + .redact-prepush-prompted marker (routes Step 17's credential guard to its silent branch — the hermetic GSTACK_HOME pin defeats a HOME-only override); 480s/540s timeouts (nested subagent adds wall clock the 300s sibling never carried); 'timeout' accepted in exitReason only because the dispatch assert is independently hard; whole-file describeE2ETier('gate') composed with diff selection (keeps the file out of the periodic shard census, which sits at its ceiling, and under the hard tier-alignment invariant). Registered as 'ship-docsync' in E2E_TOUCHFILES + E2E_TIERS (gate) in the same commit — touchfiles.test.ts rejects either half landing first. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: fix stale document-release TODOS entry + three review-deferred items The SHIPPED entry still described the deleted Step 8.5 post-PR cat-delegation design from v0.8.4; replace with the current Step 18 subagent design and its test pins. Add the three P3 items deferred from the v1.69 plan review: dispatch receipt enforcement, land-and-deploy→canary dispatch-pin pattern, and the periodic shard-census boundary. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: pre-landing review fixes Testing-specialist findings, all mechanical: (1) pin the E2E fixture's git branch (-b main / init.defaultBranch=main) and assert every setup command's exit status so operator git config can't silently corrupt a paid run; (2) tighten the dispatch matcher to Step 18-prompt-specific markers (document-release/SKILL.md | executing the /document-release workflow) so a subagent merely quoting section text can't false-pass the regression assert (verified against recorded burn-in transcripts); (3) replace the subsumed carve-guards anchor with three non-overlapping per-touchpoint anchors (gerund/imperative/3rd-person) so each touchpoint is independently enforced. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: red-team review fixes Five informational findings: TODOS shard-census arithmetic corrected (census is 67 with one free ungated slot; the SECOND ungated file trips the floor) and version pointer fixed (v0.18.2.0, not v0.18.1.0); the free tripwire now pins the two dispatch-matcher marker strings so a pr-body prompt reword fails the free suite instead of surfacing as a paid-tier mystery; the E2E matcher gains a section-paste exclusion (scaffold strings disqualify) — verified against all recorded runs; the E2E header documents the tierless test:evals invisibility tradeoff. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: adversarial review fixes Pin the E2E matcher's two EXCLUSION markers in the free tripwire (an unpinned 'Parent processing:' reword would silently deaden the section-paste guard while every test stayed green); add an ordering pin (the hoisted doc-sync invariant must sit above the pr-body STOP pointer — presence-only anchors can't catch drift below it); plant a third cwd-relative pr-body copy inside the fixture repo, gitignored so the agent never tries to commit test scaffolding. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.70.1.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: CHANGELOG accuracy fixes from the doc-release review Three factual corrections the Step 18 doc subagent caught in the fresh v1.70.1.0 entry: 5 tripwire tests (not 6), cost floor $0.63 per the cited eval store (not $0.59), and the visibility claim scoped to decision points (the re-run checklist mention survived the carve). Plus the E2E header's stale pending-burn-in note replaced with the observed numbers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: raise bun-polyfill subprocess budget to 60s for degraded Windows runners The 50ms-sleep test blew the 20s budget on BOTH bun retry attempts on PR #2700's windows-latest runner (run 32989821401) — sustained AV/runner pressure, not just the documented cold-start. Same flake passed-on-rerun on the prompt-token-load-reduction branch yesterday. Budget only; every assertion still checks exact output. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ci): run the ship-docsync gate E2E in the evals matrix + silent-skip tripwire The evals.yml matrix is hand-enumerated and the Run step never exported EVALS_TIER, so the new whole-file-gated ship-docsync E2E would have self-skipped even with a row — a hollow green one layer deeper than the documented rehomed-monolith incident. Add the e2e-ship-docsync row with a row-level `tier: gate` property, exported as EVALS_TIER by the Run step (empty = unset for every existing row: all readers are `=== '<tier>'` or truthiness). New free tripwire test/evals-workflow-matrix.test.ts ratchets the class: matrix files must exist; gate-hosting files must have a row; whole-file-gated matrix files must carry a matching row tier; and the burn-down lists enforce their own cleanup. It enumerates the PRE-EXISTING holes found while wiring this (8 gate-hosting files with no row; codex/gemini rows running zero tests; the pty-plan-smoke row hollow since its files adopted describeE2ETier) — tracked in TODOS as the CI gate-lane hollow-coverage burn-down.

v1.69.0.0 fix: the silent-failure wave — 6 fixes, 5 community PRs absorbed, tracker closed with receipts (#2666)
* test(wireup): make gbrain-missing PATH fixture hermetic The gbrain-missing test appended the host PATH (and a hardcoded /opt/homebrew/bin) to the fixture PATH, so on any machine with a real gbrain installed the 'missing' case saw it, exited 0 instead of 2, and could never fail where the bug exists — a false green for a whole machine class. The fixture now keeps only root-owned OS dirs on the child PATH, and a new determinism check plants a host-like gbrain to prove it is unreachable. Absorbed from PR #2615 with authorship preserved; the PR-thread liveness screenshot (docs/images/gstack-pr-liveness-2255.png) is dropped — referenced by nothing in the tree. Fixes #2255 Co-authored-by: CommandCodeBot <noreply@commandcode.ai> * fix(evidence): stop bun's dotenv autoload from reaching the spawned command `bin/gstack-evidence` has a `#!/usr/bin/env bun` shebang, and bun AUTO-LOADS `.env`, `.env.<NODE_ENV>` and `.env.local` from the cwd into `process.env`. The wrapper then spawned the command with no `env` override, so every command run through it inherited those variables — and a repo `.env.local` routinely holds production credentials. Two things go wrong, and the second is worse than the leak: 1. Secrets reach a child that would not otherwise have them. `npm test` run by hand in the same shell sees none of them; the same command through the wrapper sees all of them. 2. THE COMMAND UNDER TEST BEHAVES DIFFERENTLY, so the ledger certifies a run that is not the run CI performs. Observed in a Next.js repo on 2026-08-20: four tests failed 4/4 through the wrapper and passed 5/5 without it, because app code branched on env vars only the wrapper supplied. Nearly an hour went into chasing a "flake" that was the measuring instrument. The wrapper exists to record trustworthy evidence, so silently altering the environment defeats its purpose. The fix builds the child env from `process.env` minus the keys bun injected, and detection is exact rather than heuristic: verified on bun 1.3.11, a dotenv file does NOT override a variable the shell already exported (the shell's value wins). So a key whose live value equals the dotenv file's value was injected by bun, and dropping it restores the environment the user's own shell would have given the command. A key whose live value differs is genuinely the caller's and survives. `BUN_DOTENV_FILES()` mirrors bun's precedence, including that `.env.local` is skipped when NODE_ENV is "test" — scrubbing a key bun never loaded would strip a variable the caller legitimately provided. Escape hatch: GSTACK_EVIDENCE_KEEP_DOTENV=1 keeps the old behaviour. When keys are scrubbed the wrapper warns with the KEY NAMES ONLY, so the diagnostic cannot become the leak it prevents. Tests: 6 cases, mutation-verified — removing `env: spawnEnv` reddens exactly the two leak tests and restoring it gives 30/30. Every leak test asserts the scrub warning fired, because `bun test` sets NODE_ENV=test and the first version of these tests passed vacuously against a `.env.local` bun had never loaded. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Absorbed from PR #2652 with authorship preserved. Wave additions: a doc-comment on the ${VAR}-expansion limitation (bun expands refs, the reader compares raw text — those keys are left in the child env, failing open) and a regression pin for the unreadable-.env fail-open path with a functional DAC-override skip guard. Fixes #2624 * fix(setup): reap dangling skill dirs when the payload is gone cleanup_old_claude_symlinks derived its work list from the payload directory, so when the payload was gone — precisely when orphans exist — the glob matched nothing and the loop never ran; the -f guard also followed symlinks, hiding dangling SKILL.md links even with a payload present. The cleanup now scans the DESTINATION skills dir (-e/-L, so dangling symlinks are visible) and anchors SKILL.md provenance to path segments (gstack/*, */gstack/*, */.gstack/render/claude/*) instead of a bare *gstack* substring that would eat a user skill under ~/tools/gstack-fork/. The Windows real-file arm stays payload-gated: a real file has no provable owner. Absorbed from PR #2634 (2 commits squashed) with authorship preserved. The symmetric cleanup_prefixed_claude_symlinks hole is filed as a TODOS.md residual in this wave. Fixes #2204 * fix(redact): tolerate EEXIST from recursive mkdir in install-prepush-hook on bun/Windows (#2635) fs.mkdirSync(dir, { recursive: true }) is a no-op on an existing directory in Node, but bun on Windows throws EEXIST - crashing hook install on any repo whose .git/hooks already existed, leaving the repo unprotected. Add lib/fs-utils.ts mkdirpSync: swallow EEXIST only when statSync confirms the path is an existing directory; a regular file occupying the path, a stat failure, or any other errno still rethrows. Use it in installPrepushHook(). The regression test emulates the Windows bun fs semantics via a bun --preload fixture, so the exact crash path runs (and fails on the old code) on any platform, including CI Linux. Absorbed from PR #2641 with authorship preserved. Fixes #2635 * fix(bin): route remaining Windows-reachable mkdirSync sites through mkdirpSync Sweep follow-up to #2641's lib/fs-utils.ts helper: bun on Windows throws EEXIST from a recursive mkdir on an existing dir, so every unguarded recursive mkdirSync on a Windows-reachable path is a latent crash. Converted: bin/gstack-decision-log (unguarded, runs on every decision log — the second call on any machine hits the pre-existing projects dir), bin/gstack-evidence logsDir + ledger dir sites, and bin/gstack-redact-prepush's skip-log site (already try-wrapped, so its failure mode was a silent skip-log loss rather than a crash — the fix makes the log survive). The ~15 remaining gbrain/mac-lane sites are deliberately left alone. Regression: fs-utils.test.ts drives gstack-decision-log twice, the second run under the bun-Windows EEXIST preload fixture — the pre-sweep code exits 1 with EEXIST there; verified red against v1.68.3.0. * fix(setup-gbrain): warn about the ZeroEntropy sunset before Sept 4 ZeroEntropy was acquired by Notion and sunsets its hosted API on September 4, 2026. A gbrain configured with the zeroentropyai embedding recipe keeps importing pages after that date but embedding silently fails — pages land structurally with no semantic search, this repo's tracker P1 (TODOS.md NEXT PRIORITY). Nothing in gstack ever recommended ZeroEntropy (the dependency is gbrain-internal), so the gstack side is detection + advisory: the wireup helper warns when ~/.gbrain/config.json names the recipe (fail-open grep — a missing, unreadable, or other-provider config stays silent and never blocks a working setup), the setup-gbrain provider-default comments say never to select the legacy recipe for a new brain, and USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK.md gains a troubleshooting entry. The gbrain-side provider migration stays open upstream. Refs #2365 * fix(gbrain-source-wireup): first sync targets the registered source, not --repo The wireup registered a federated source by id, then ran 'gbrain sync --repo $WORKTREE' — which resolves against the brain's DEFAULT source and (on gbrain 0.46.x) rewrites that source's local_path anchor to our worktree. Net effect: the user's primary knowledge source silently repointed at the gstack brain worktree while the just-registered source got zero pages, and pages_synced still reported success. The sync now targets the registered id ('gbrain sync --source $id', the same form the repo's own troubleshooting documents). Because the script's stated floor is gbrain >= 0.18.0 and nothing proves --source exists there, support is probed via 'gbrain sync --help' first: an older gbrain keeps the wrong-but-working --repo call with an upgrade warning instead of converting it into a hard failure. The probe sits after the GSTACK_BRAIN_NO_SYNC early-exit and is unreachable in --probe mode. Regression tests (fail on v1.68.3.0): a no-skip sync case asserting the call log shows 'sync --source gstack-brain-<id>' and never 'sync --repo', and an old-gbrain fallback case (fake sync --help without --source) asserting --repo plus the upgrade warning. Fixes #2662 * fix(setup): --host slate exits informatively instead of silently installing nothing slate passed --host validation (added to the accept-list in v1.64.1.0) but never got a dispatch arm, and the all-INSTALL_*-zero fallback lives inside the auto branch — so './setup --host slate' configured nothing and exited 0, a silent no-op strictly worse than the original hard rejection. slate is now an informational arm (per docs/designs/SLATE_HOST.md it is blocked on the host-config refactor; Slate reads .claude/skills as a compatibility fallback, so the arm points at './setup --host claude'), and a defensive guard after the dispatch chain errors loudly (naming the host, the missing arm, and the valid targets, exit 1) if a future host is ever accepted without being wired. Regression tests (fail on v1.68.3.0): a dispatch-arm ratchet asserting every accept-listed install target has a matching dispatch branch — the exact drift class; a registry cross-check deriving both sides from hosts/index.ts and setup's case arms; a behavioral slate probe (exit 0, points at --host claude, never reaches the installer — on unfixed code it fell through into the installer); and a static pin on the guard's shape. Fixes #2361 * fix(make-pdf): resolve the sibling browse binary from execPath, not argv[0] In a bun-compiled binary process.argv[0] is the raw invocation string — often relative ('./pdf', 'pdf') — so dirname(argv[0]) yielded '.' and the sibling candidates (../browse/dist/browse etc.) resolved against the CWD instead of the install dir. Resolution was cwd-dependent: correct-by-luck when the fallbacks rescued it, wrong when a cwd-relative path matched. process.execPath is always the absolute binary path. The resolution step takes an injectable selfPath (defaulted) because under bun test the process path is the bun runtime and the compiled-binary shapes are otherwise unreachable. The issue's other half — pdf setup failing on newtab('about:blank') — was already fixed on main in v1.64.0.0 (browse/src/url-validation.ts exact-match allows about:blank; its comment names this exact smoke). This commit closes what remains. Regression tests (the sibling-via-selfPath case fails on v1.68.3.0 — pre-fix code ignores the seam and either resolves the global install or throws): sibling resolution from an install-shaped tree, and a decoy-browse-DIRECTORY case pinning that a directory never wins resolution. Fixes #2156 * fix(memory-ingest): store the normalized git_remote so unattributed pages hit the policy filter buildTranscriptPage wrote the normalized '_unattributed' sentinel into the page FRONTMATTER but stored the raw resolved remote ('' when unresolvable) on the page object. The policy filter fast-paths !p.git_remote, so under --include-unattributed an explicit '_unattributed → deny' (or read-only) policy never applied to exactly the pages it names — they ingested unpoliced. The stored value now matches the frontmatter. Regression test (fails on v1.68.3.0): seeds the REAL bin/gstack-gbrain-repo-policy store with '_unattributed → deny' through its own set verb, ingests an unresolvable-remote session with --include-unattributed, and asserts nothing reaches gbrain — pre-fix the '' remote bypassed the filter and the import ran. A fake echoing tiers would pass on both sides of the fix; the real helper prints 'none' for unknown keys, so only a genuinely applied deny distinguishes the two. Fixes #2353 * fix(land-and-deploy): MERGED recovery reconciles and reports remote-branch cleanup Step 4's merge commands carry --delete-branch, and the success path tells the user 'The branch has been cleaned up.' When gh exits non-zero AFTER GitHub already merged (routine in worktree layouts: gh's local cleanup runs git checkout <base> and fails), the §4a-postfail MERGED recovery re-established everything EXCEPT the branch deletion — and said nothing about it, so the discrepancy was invisible. The MERGED path now reconciles: git ls-remote --heads distinguishes branch-already-gone (exit 0, empty → 'already cleaned up', idempotent on re-runs) from branch-survived (offer confirm-first deletion, matching the section's worktree posture; -d not -D for any local branch) from check-itself-failed (non-zero exit → 'couldn't verify', skip the offer — never read a failed check as a clean branch). Template + regenerated SKILL.md + test extensions land in one commit (the md-sync assertion goes red otherwise). Regression assertions (fail on v1.68.3.0: no delete-branch reconciliation existed in test/ at all) pin the ls-remote check, the confirm-first delete, and the absent-vs-failed distinction. Fixes #2656 * fix(scripts): stop heredoc bodies deadlocking under Homebrew bash `./setup --help` can hang forever on macOS, printing nothing, with no way to tell it apart from a slow install. Eleven scripts carry the same latent hang, `setup` itself being the one every user hits first. bash 5.2+ delivers a heredoc body of 64KiB or less through a pipe: the forked child writes the entire body before exec, and nothing reads the other end until the command starts. Under macOS pipe-KVA pressure the kernel hands a fresh pipe a 512-byte buffer instead of the usual 16-64KiB, so any body of 512 bytes or more blocks write() permanently. The capacity check bash would need to notice (F_GETPIPE_SZ) is Linux-only, so it never fires here. It is pressure-dependent, which is why it reads as "worked on my machine" — the same script runs fine all day and then wedges. Homebrew bash is what `#!/usr/bin/env bash` resolves to on a Mac with brew on PATH, which is most of them. Apple's /bin/bash 3.2 predates the pipe path and is unaffected, so the bug is invisible to anyone testing with the system shell. The fix is `BASH_COMPAT=50` in each affected script, which restores the pre-5.2 tempfile path: $ bash -c 'probe() { [ -p /dev/stdin ] && echo PIPE || echo TEMPFILE; } probe <<EOF $(printf "x%.0s" $(seq 1 1000)) EOF' PIPE $ BASH_COMPAT=50 bash -c '...same...' TEMPFILE - Not a `#!/bin/bash` shebang swap: that pins the script to whatever bash lives at /bin (3.2 on macOS, absent on some Linux distributions) and is bypassed entirely by `bash script.sh` call sites. The variable survives both. - Not exported, so child processes keep their own compat level. - Placed below any `--help` sed range that reads $0, so usage output is unchanged (verified on all eleven). - Every guarded script is bash-3.2-clean — no associative arrays, case conversion, or mapfile — so compat level 50 costs them nothing. test/heredoc-pipe-deadlock.test.ts scans every tracked shell script for a heredoc body in the 512B-64KiB window and fails without the guard, and proves the mechanism at runtime on bash 5.2+ by asserting the body moves from PIPE to TEMPFILE. On older bash the runtime half is skipped, since the pipe path does not exist there. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Absorbed from PR #2640 with authorship preserved. Wave adaptations: the pipe-probe test skips on minimal-/dev environments without /dev/stdin (it would report OTHER for an unobservable fd), and one caveat verified during review: on bash 4.3/4.4 (e.g. Git Bash), assigning BASH_COMPAT=50 prints a non-fatal 'invalid value' warning to stderr — those bashes are already on tempfiles, so the guard is a no-op there; windows-setup-e2e exercises this empirically. * docs: TODOS.md v1.69 wave close-out Move the slate P4 entry and the ZeroEntropy P1's gstack-side half to Completed (v1.69.0.0); reframe the ZeroEntropy NEXT PRIORITY entry around the remaining gbrain-side work; file the wave's four residuals with rationale — the prefixed-cleanup symmetric conversion, the #2163 legacy-slug checkpoint heal, the invited #2657 --reconcile contribution, and the table-driven setup host dispatch behind the new cross-check ratchet. * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.69.0.0) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Som Samantray <som.samantray@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: CommandCodeBot <noreply@commandcode.ai> Co-authored-by: Connex Client Access <paul@paulkortman.com> Co-authored-by: y$un_ <forrest.sun527@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Lockyer <135391289+Lockyer228@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Benjamin D.
