PR run 37239016858 ship-docsync-completion: the parent ran
'gstack-docs-candidate --help' (the helper's usage error points at --help, which
failed). That undeclared command made docsToolFailures non-empty, which denied
the atomic-replacement proof of the child's legitimate native Edit, so the red
line blamed the Edit's temp file. A replay of the capture proves the atomic
replace once --help is declared.
- the helper prints its usage for --help/-h and exits 0
- the fixture interface and command grammar admit the helper's bare --help
- the atomic-proof denial names its check and the tool failures behind it
(deny labels renumbered to their lines)
- replay with negative controls (undeclared command, temp left behind, renamed
elsewhere); diagnostic rerun of ship-docsync-completion passed
The replay test's literal helper path tripped the Windows curator's shebang-spawn
pattern, dropping the whole file from the Windows profile (test-free-shards
invariant). The snapshot --out case is already covered by docsync-command-grammar,
so it is removed here, and the Linux-path replay skips on win32.
The only failure was call 20's write to a mistyped shard root (3GanyY for 3GanyU),
which the model disclosed; the detector is correct and the A1 post-snapshot
--out under the fixture home stays permitted. Named red recorded in TODOS.
pii.phone.e164 redacted the run id in the published eval report's fetch command
(--run 37235771700), breaking the command it prints. Digit-only spans in a run/job
flag, gh run argument, actions/runs/ or /job/ URL segment, or run_id/job_id key are
now exempt; the same digits elsewhere still report.
context-recovery-artifacts: the fixture's ./bin/ lacked gstack-skill-start and
gstack-context-recovery (the preamble's runtime scripts since v1.71), so the agent
spent its 10 turns hunting for them and hit error_max_turns with no final message
(run 37235771700, 11 turns). Link the whole runtime bin; diagnostic rerun passed
in 6 turns.
navigation-guard: Bun's expect(promise).rejects slows each Playwright round-trip
to ~1s while it waits (50 page.evaluate: 43ms plain vs 46.6s inside the matcher),
so the click's 5s timeout expired before the guard saw the link-local request
(CI: 'click: Timeout 5000ms exceeded ... waiting for scheduled navigations').
Settle the command first, then assert on the refusal; a source check keeps it so.
env-host-runtime-assets: PROBE_FILES now matches either path separator.
detector-corpus ship-docsync-late-result: JSON-escape the <ROOT> substitution so a
Windows temp path's backslashes do not break JSON.parse.
Every census entry was recorded in CI's eval image (git 2.43), where
gstack-safe-git falls back because --no-lazy-fetch is rejected; each entry
now says so (git_path: fallback). Two synthetic supported-path entries
(HEAD and a history citation in the brief, as git >= 2.44 produces) keep
the 37193478719 pass and the 37195203538 refusal, and a test asserts both
shapes are covered and the actor reads no git-path-specific text.
GSTA-23's census 37228573062 failed plan-eng-multi-finding-batching with
reviewCount=0 after 975 s although D1-D10 were asked one per finding,
each with its saved decision-ledger record. The report wrote 'Report
destination requested by the user. Review target (fixed): `PLAN.md` ...'
and the counter read target fields only at a line start, so no brief
inherited the plan identity. A target field may now open any sentence of
its line; a mid-sentence mention or another file still gives no identity.
Floor (3), budget and kind unchanged. Corpus: 9 earlier passing censuses,
the red (now credited at D5), and a derived batching refusal; 975 s noted
in the headroom diagnosis.
The snapshot still hashes selected release paths (--select narrows them),
generated outputs and docs; the pin now checks that instead of the
pre-trim sentence.
The qa-only-no-fix fixture tells the model to start the guard with 30 s
(a caller limit), so its deadline assertion's default stays 30 000 ms; the
product's Browser Quick default (180 s) does not apply to it. Reverts the
helper and its test to their base.
The first live codex-multiblock-live run passed its real check (the /learn
block found the install and printed the seeded learning) but the oracle
flagged a sed of the learn SKILL.md, whose prelude source quotes the
'gstack: no install found (tried $_r)' text. Only an emitted line that
starts with the message and names a real root counts now; free replay
negative added.
Templates quoted "$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/...", which the env-var hosts'
rewrites turned into "$HOME/.agents/skills/gstack/..." on Codex (a path a
global install never has; same class on the other hosts), and setup's
runtime roots had no freeze/bin. Quoted runtime paths now use
{{RUNTIME_ROOT}}: $GSTACK_ROOT on env-var hosts (the fence gets the
runtime prelude), the unchanged $HOME path on Claude. _link_runtime_dists
links freeze/bin and the careful/bin helper it sources into every
env-var host's root. Also fixes the same guess in /benchmark-models,
/retro and /diagram. test/env-host-runtime-assets.test.ts fails on the
previous code: no fence guesses a $HOME/<dir>/skills/gstack path, every
$GSTACK_ROOT path a fence uses is in the host's runtime root, and the
installed Codex /freeze and /unfreeze fences run from a fresh shell.
Template-reading tests now read the Claude render or expect the
placeholder (deliberate change).
The historical approved cookie-workflow prompt carried BUN_VERSION=1.3.10;
the regenerated install hint now pins 1.4.0, so the fixture's reversal
list gains that edit like the earlier waves' entries.
docs/evals/census-red.md walks one red line to a diagnosis: prerequisites, the
report fields, eval:pass-rates --run/--reds/--headroom with expected output,
what unknown/insufficient/unrecorded data means, free replay, and the single
'after a repair' paid run allowed by TESTING_INTERNALS. Linked from
CONTRIBUTING, TESTING_INTERNALS and both census reports.
TESTING_INTERNALS documents the failure_cause glossary (one row per
FAILURE_CAUSES value, diagnostic only under EVAL_POLICY v1), failure_detail,
sessions[], cost_known, the session ledger, the pass-rates views and the 85%
headroom alarm, main-only tracking issues, overlay contract v4, auq-matrix's
3-sample substance panel and the E5/E6 periodic cases. troubleshooting.md
gains #bun-too-old and an anchor per new user-facing message from lanes P, D
and F. README names GSTACK_DESIGN_IMAGE_MODEL. test/census-red-docs.test.ts
pins the glossary to FAILURE_CAUSES, parses every guide command and checks the
links.
Bun floor (setup, auto-update, /gstack-upgrade), /review stale base and
fingerprint temp-dir errors, the design image model override, the
unrecorded Chromium PID, and a contributor section for census report
lines (pass-rates flags, failure causes, headroom, cost unknown, overlay
v4, stale corpora, auq substance). A free test checks every
troubleshooting.md#anchor printed by setup or bin scripts exists.
Measured after all lane merges: ship -79, review -210, qa -68 bytes over.
Trimmed the added wording first (post-expiry rule, MISSING COVERAGE,
plan-gate default, value-card JSON, stop line) and folded /review's
redundant INFORMATIONAL sentence and findings bullet. ship 268,036 (room
8), review 130,118 (room 1). qa needed 11 more bytes: cap 1.11 -> 1.1102
with the measured 93,305 / 84,049 = 1.11013 and its reason beside it.
C1 controls showed the qa workflow judge passing /qa without Phase 10 and
the review judge passing /review without Step 3. The new test pins every
step/phase heading of qa, qa-only, review, ship, plan-ceo-review,
plan-eng-review and setup-deploy (derived from the templates' step
headings) and names any that goes missing or out of order; new step
headings must be pinned. The judge rubric is unchanged (EVAL_POLICY).
Structured outside review: MISSING COVERAGE asks no fix question and is
never reported clean (was "preserve the existing user decision flow").
/review's HIGH-impact plan gate: spawned or non-interactive runs report
REQUIREMENTS MISSING and continue, writing no TODOs. Value cards: the byte
clamp applies to card lines; JSON records you write keep full values.
Judge rationales on the qa-only panels (2 of the last 3) cited the 30 s
Browser Quick budget: homepage + 5 targets, each a checkpoint write and a
guarded command, left ~5 s per probe. Quick is now 180 s (method text: 3
minutes); the qa-only-no-fix paid check expects the same native deadline.
PROBE_DIR points at its source line, a stopped loop goes to the final
report steps (annotations, materialize, Markdown), and /review and /ship
say that after smoke expiry only plan checks rerun in revalidation.
junitCensus summed a case's JUnit test times as duration_ms; for
plan-mode-no-op's concurrent PTY tests that is 346 s inside a 176 s shard
(the "432-613 s" history). The case wall headroom shows is now
min(sum, shard elapsed), a true upper bound. Session headroom already
used the ledger's per-session clocks.
The /ship docsync fixture saved its observation interface only in the
parent prompt and told the parent to copy it into every child prompt,
about 30-40 s of parent generation per session (lane S, 37198445662).
docsSessionOptions now writes it to <home>/fixture-interface.md (0600) and
the parent tells each child to Read that file first. Fault-actor prompts,
which prepare already writes to a file, are unchanged. Fixture-only.
test/skill-e2e-design-model-smoke.test.ts runs design/scripts/live-model-check.ts
(default models only) under a temp HOME. Without OPENAI_API_KEY the case is a
Bun skip that the census lists as SKIPPED with no coverage credit; with a key,
exit 0 passes and any other exit fails with the script output (exit 2 under a
present key fails as 'nothing was checked'). paid-test-durations.json carries
a 90 s packing estimate. Registration (E2E_TOUCHFILES, E2E_TIERS periodic,
E2E_KINDS rule) is the integrator's.
test/codex-e2e-multiblock-live.test.ts runs ./setup --host codex once from the
job's checkout into a fresh HOME and CODEX_HOME (auth.json copied from the CI
login home), asserts codex debug prompt-input lists the gstack router as a
real file, seeds one learning, and runs /learn's Show recent block through
codex exec: that later block must root itself through its prelude, run the
installed gstack-learnings-search and print the seeded learning; no block may
report a missing install or an unresolved gstack helper path.
The file joins CODEX_CI_FILES so the planner gives it to the host-run Codex
job. paid-test-durations.json carries a 180 s packing estimate (refreshed by
--write-durations after the first census) so the plan keeps every slice
within max-parallel. Oracles live in test/helpers/codex-multiblock.ts with
free replays in test/codex-multiblock.test.ts. Registration (E2E_TOUCHFILES,
E2E_TIERS periodic, E2E_KINDS rule) is the integrator's.
Claude Code 2.1.284 collapses the gstack-ceo-mode-handoff Bash result, so
the printed AUTO_DECIDE line is user-visible only when a later chat message
of the session begins with it. The native detector now requires that
witness; the helper's tool result locates it but no longer replaces it, and
a generic mode statement cannot stand in once a handoff ran. Census
37182865432 is relabelled a genuine miss (expected: refused): the chat said
"I'm defaulting to HOLD SCOPE…" and "Mode decided: HOLD SCOPE". Corpus
replay: 5 credited, 3 refused. ceo-mode-handoff tests migrated to the
witness rule (deliberate behavior change).
Both plan-review-prosons-neutral-neg reds (37179171083 t3, 37193478719 t3)
recommended A and closed with "a coverage call, not a taste call"; the
old /taste call/i matched the negation. The detector moves to a helper so
the two census captures replay free as negatives, with positive controls.
A branch-dispatched periodic or marathon run writes its report to the step
summary and a report artifact; the upsert and close steps run only on
refs/heads/main. The periodic body now keeps every pass-rate alarm line (the
old grep kept only the header), adds the red ledger and session headroom read
with an explicit --branch, the all-green estimate and the triage guide link,
and routes report text through scripts/lib/published-text.ts. The marathon
lane gains the matching close-on-green step.
Migrated: evals-workflow-wiring pinned report-summary.md in the upsert step;
the body is now written by 'Write the census report'.
gstack_bun_incoming_hold (bin/gstack-bun-version.sh) is now the one
pre-advance check: the auto-updater calls it before its fast-forward and
/gstack-upgrade's git path calls it after fetching. Below the incoming
release's floor the upgrade stops with BUN_TOO_OLD and the checkout,
VERSION and installs stay untouched. Vendored installs were already safe:
setup refuses before writing and the swap restores the previous install.
GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES gains session-ledger.ts, published-text.ts and
auq-substance-panel.ts; bin/gstack-bun-version.sh joins every entry that
lists setup or the updater; auq-matrix stays a rule case with its C4
evidence beside E2E_KINDS; eval-history, published-text and session-ledger
are registered new modules.
Claude Code 2.1.284 collapses the helper's Bash output ('Ran 1 shell
command'), so the 'Auto-decided review mode → …' line reaches the user only
through chat. In lane D's auto-decide-preserved corpus every passing capture's
chat starts with that line, and the reds paraphrased it ('HOLD SCOPE was
auto-selected…', 'Mode decision done…', "I'm defaulting to HOLD SCOPE…").
The template now says verbatim and why.
eval-store.ts imported STALL_WINDOW_MS from eval-budgets.ts, which free tests
replace with mock.module stubs (review-finalization-budget, office-hours,
qa-fix-loop, qa-only), so loading eval-store failed there. failureCauseOf is
now dependency-free: the record builders pass STALL_WINDOW_MS. A PTY session
whose handle cannot show its text (test doubles) records no panel instead of
throwing from runPtySession's cleanup. The 37186854666 replay also runs
through classifyTrialShard.
evals.yml wraps collector-outcomes failures in a fixed three-backtick fence
for the PR comment, so those lines (and eval:pass-rates output meant for the
tracking issue) go through sanitizeFixedFenceLine: cleaned like every
published line, with backticks turned into quotes. Inline published text
also neutralizes backticks.
The structured ledger reader is authoritative before the prose fallback,
but it missed two valid approved records in passing censuses
(37186854666: a camelCase writeProfile subject; 37195203538: a
slash-joined 'D1 / STALE-FILL' row id), which then rested on the prose
detector that caused both historical reds. Both forms are accepted; an
unresolved row, an unrelated decision, the copied fixture plan and
non-write camelCase words stay refused.
shared-libs-plan-callers, plan-ceo-section-loading, auto-decide-preserved,
plan-design-review-plan-mode and ship-docsync-late-result each get an
inventory of every wave census in scope (all artifacts still available)
and minimal, redacted detector or actor inputs replayed through the real
detector in the free suite: census passes, every distinct census red, and
derived negative controls labelled as derived. Fixed false reds stay as
expected passes with their history; the two genuine auto-decide product
failures (37176837432, 37179171083) stay refused. A contract test bounds
each entry at 64 KB, scans it for HIGH credentials, requires a pass and a
refusal per case, and reports entries whose series identity is stale.
Building the auto-decide corpus exposed a latent native detector misread:
a bold 'Mode application and rationale.' heading was parsed as a
withdrawn Mode field (37186854666). A field status now ends at its
sentence.
cost_usd stays a finite number. Trial and eval records gain an optional
cost_known boolean (absent means known, so old records still parse; the
validator accepts only a boolean). Session-ledger rows record whether the
session's terminal result carried total_cost_usd; PTY and Codex sessions
never do, and SDK captures without a terminal result do not. A trial is
cost-known only when it has eval records and every record and session
captured billing, so JUnit-only PTY cases (125 of 298 trials in run
37198445662 recorded 0) now read cost unknown. The census headline prints the
known sum plus the unknown count, never a bare total over unknown costs, and
no total when every cost is unknown; the history import keeps the flag.
PTY transcripts are not priced: test/helpers/pricing.ts estimates exclude
cache writes, so they cannot give the billed cost.
A case that several files register (carve-section-loading) cannot be selected
by --case; its red line now prints the bun test command for the shard file
that went red, so every printed command selects exactly one case.
caseSelection() resolves the one paid file that registers a case and how a
trial selects it: by its literal Bun test name, by the id a registration loop
names its test at runtime (coverage audits, TPA, journeys), or by running the
whole file when it registers no other case (plan-mode-no-op, whose test names
are not the id, so the old name pattern ran nothing). A whole-file case runs
one file shard per trial and is judged by shard status, as CI judges it.
--list prints the selection. Every E2E_TIERS id now resolves except
carve-section-loading, which fifteen files register (CI runs each as its own
shard) and which still fails with the owning files named.
