Garry Tan df89475b17 v1.91.11.0 refactor: one state-root rule, browse route table, shared shard engine, PTY harness split, MECE review resolvers (#3002)
* refactor(resolvers): split review.ts into MECE resolver modules (pure move)

Move every function from scripts/resolvers/review.ts, unchanged, into:
- review-dashboard.ts: review dashboard, plan-file review report
- plan-gates.ts: approval check, exit-plan-mode gate, plan-file discovery,
  plan-completion audit/gate (ship + review), plan verification exec
- spec-review.ts: both spec review loops, benefits-from, anti-shortcut clause
- outside-voice-steps.ts: Codex second opinion, adversarial step, Codex plan
  review, Codex doc review, disabled-outside record
- review-scope.ts: scope drift, cross-review dedup, shared-code reuse

review.ts is deleted; index.ts imports the new modules. gen-skill-docs
output is byte-identical for every host (--host all). Test imports and
source-path references are re-pointed; the two source-text report/gate
tests in gen-skill-docs.test.ts become behavioral renders across every
consuming skill and host. All 46 touchfile entries that named review.ts
now name all five modules, guarded by a recorded selection golden.

* test(browse): black-box auth matrix for every server route and both surfaces

Drives buildFetchHandler fetchLocal/fetchTunnel with no token, wrong token,
root token, scoped token and the SSE cookie for all 33 routes, plus unmatched
paths and wrong methods. Denials assert today's exact status, body and content
type; allowed credentials assert the handler was reached. Written against the
unchanged if-chain server so the W3 route-table refactor must keep it green.

* refactor(shard-engine): move scripts/test-strict-output.ts to scripts/lib/shard-engine.ts

The shared shard engine grows from the existing strict-output module
(runShardChild, killProcessGroup, signal forwarding, strict classifier).
scripts/test-strict-output.ts stays as a re-export so existing importers,
mock.module paths and the strict-output/run-shard-child tests are unchanged.
The engine inherits the global touchfile entry; the free runner's CLI-routing
fixture copies the new module.

* refactor(resolvers): decompose the three >150-line review resolvers (output-neutral)

Split generateAdversarialStep, generateCodexPlanReview and
generatePlanCompletionAuditInner into per-section helpers whose template
literals are copied verbatim, so every function in the new modules is at
or under 150 lines. gen-skill-docs output is byte-identical for every host
(--host all, compared against 96764e80 with a fixed --link-root).

* refactor(resolvers): one outside-voice failure policy (deliberate prose unification)

outsideVoiceFailurePolicy(ctx, opts) in outside-voice.ts now renders the
auth / timeout / empty-response bullets for all four call sites that
hand-typed them (Codex second opinion, adversarial step, Codex plan
review, design outside voices). Options are explicit per site
(timeoutMinutes, onTimeout, stderrOnEmpty, fallback, escape) with no
defaults.

Deliberate generated-prose changes (every host):
- office-hours: 'Fall back to <native> subagent.' becomes
  'Fall back to the <native> subagent below.'
- plan-devex-review: the plain 'Auth failure (stderr contains ...)'
  bullets become the canonical bold bullets; auth also triggers on
  'API key'; 'auth failed' becomes 'authentication failed'.
- review/ship adversarial: 'exceeded 9 minutes and was terminated'
  becomes 'timed out after 9 minutes and was terminated'; the timeout
  is still MISSING COVERAGE.
- design outside voices: unchanged.

Adds ratchet (d) (test/outside-voice-failure-policy.test.ts) with a
reasoned allowlist for /codex's own CLI errors, the MISSING COVERAGE
retention test, refreshed codex/factory ship goldens, and outside-voice.ts
in every touchfile entry of review.ts and design.ts (selection golden
extended).

* test(pty): fake PTY session driver with an injectable clock through the runner launch seam

The three plan-skill runners take an optional PtyDriver (launch, now,
monotonic, sleep); omitted, they use the real launcher and clocks exactly as
before. test/helpers/pty/fake-session.ts feeds scripted frames through that
seam, and claude-pty-runner.runners.unit.test.ts runs observation, counting
and floor for success, deadline timeout, permission prompt and plan-ready
outcomes with no CLI or real timers. These cases must stay green unchanged
through the W4 split and the runPtySession extraction.

Touchfiles: every entry that lists claude-pty-runner.ts or pty-screen.ts now
also lists test/helpers/pty/**.

* refactor(shard-engine): run both lanes on the shared engine; lane policy injected

Engine (scripts/lib/shard-engine.ts) gains the W2 primitives: per-shard
tmp/Chromium sandbox + async cleanup backstop, log-path allocation and
full-stream log capture, one duration-seed reader/writer with a lane
predicate, LanePolicy (seed predicate + zero-execution verdict),
strictShardStatus, and the shared CLI flag loop. runShardChild takes an
optional companion (signal/settle) and waits a bounded 250ms to reap a
wall-killed child.

Free lane stops spawning shards itself: runFreeShard uses runShardChild
with trackShardBrowser as the companion (win32 path unchanged: no process
group, no negative-pid kill). Its sync state-dir removal stays lane policy.
Paid lane uses the sandbox, log, seed, verdict and flag primitives; the
hollow-shard guard applies PAID_LANE_POLICY. Lane outcomes are unchanged
(free keeps >= 0 seeds and file-count zero-exec rule; paid keeps > 0 seeds,
warning under selection and passed-empty under EVALS_ALL).

paid-free-boundary's closure assertion now names the engine module, where
the strict classifier lives.

* test(shard-engine): engine unit tests, fixture-corpus equivalence, per-lane CLI parity

- test/shard-engine.test.ts: failing/unhandled/module-load output fails both
  lanes, per-lane zero-execution and seed rules, whole-group kill on a wall
  timeout (both lanes), mocked-win32 path with no negative-pid kill,
  companion settle order, log capture, sandbox isolation, flag loop.
- test/shard-engine-equivalence.test.ts + test/fixtures/shard-equivalence:
  seven outcome fixtures plus one real shard, run through both lanes and
  compared with classifications recorded from the base runners (96764e80).
- test/shard-cli-parity.test.ts + test/fixtures/shard-cli-parity: flag set,
  defaults, validation errors and the Unknown argument error per lane match
  the base runners.

* refactor(shard-engine): decompose runFreeShard and runPaidShard to <= 150 lines

Output-neutral extraction under the fixture-corpus equivalence and runner
tests: captureFreeStream, explainFreeVerdict and logFreeRecovery (free);
paidShardCommand, settleShardSpool, settleBootstrapRetention and
printLogTail (paid). The bootstrap scope-creation block that
bootstrap-retention.test.ts evaluates stays verbatim.

* refactor(pty): split claude-pty-runner.ts into test/helpers/pty/* behind a barrel

Pure move: every line of the former 5,047-line runner lands verbatim in one
module (four private helpers gain `export` for cross-module use):
binary, screen (absorbs test/helpers/pty-screen.ts, which now re-exports it),
launch, session (PtyDriver), judge, classify, auq, plan-native, boundaries,
runners/{observation,counting,floor}. claude-pty-runner.ts re-exports the
original public surface by name; pty/ modules import siblings directly.

Tests that read the runner's source text:
- rewritten as behavioral: the unit test's model-pin tripwire (fake CLI argv:
  fallback chain, --model before extraArgs, hermetic --strict-mcp-config),
  pty-skill-seeding-wiring (runners through the fake driver; launcher through
  a fake CLI reporting CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR). The "three wrappers forward model"
  grep is replaced by the runners' fake-driver launch assertions.
- pty-screen-session / pty-screen-supervision: stop copying runner source;
  they mock.module the real pty/screen.ts (and the fixture cleanup) instead.
- re-pointed to the owning module (they execute a sliced runner body with
  injected boundaries; no seam exists for those boundaries yet):
  eng-seeded-completion-ai, plan-floor-permission, plan-create-prepublication,
  plan-count-completion; hermetic-wiring's source guard now reads pty/launch.ts
  and scans every pty/ module for raw process.env spreads.
- plan-count-timeout and pty-output-wake mock the viewport at pty/screen.ts.

* test(ratchet-c): enforcing module/function size ratchet and moved-code touchfile coverage

Ratchet (c) ships enforcing: test/helpers/module-size.ts counts file and
top-level function lengths by brace matching over masked source (strings,
comments, regex literals and template text masked; ${} expressions kept),
covering function declarations, arrow functions assigned to consts and
route-table handler properties, with no parser dependency. Its self-test
uses template literals and code-fence braces copied from
scripts/resolvers/review.ts and design.ts. test/fixtures/module-size-ratchet.json
binds scripts/lib/shard-engine.ts (<= 800 lines, <= 150 per function) and
records the residual runner sizes (free 2352, paid 1921) as non-growth caps;
allowlist entries are keyed on file plus matched text and need a reason.
Failure output lists file:line, the rule, Fix: and the allowlist path.

touchfiles.test.ts gains the moved-code superset check over
test/fixtures/touchfile-move-goldens/ (W2 golden recorded at 96764e80:
test-strict-output.ts and test-paid-shards.ts global, test-free-shards.ts none).

* refactor(browse): declared route table replaces the buildFetchHandler if-chain

The ~1,300-line if-chain in buildFetchHandler becomes a route table:
each entry declares method, path, auth kind and surfaces, and one auth
gate in browse/src/routes/table.ts returns the per-kind denial (root-bearer,
scoped, root-or-sse-cookie: 401 Unauthorized; root-token: 403 Root token
required; extension-origin: 403 Forbidden). Unmatched requests take the
declared fallthrough (root-bearer check, then plain-text 404). Handlers move
to browse/src/routes/{core,pairing,pty,tokens,tunnel,activity,commands,files,
inspector}.ts and receive a RouteContext with auth checks as functions
instead of closing over factory locals. Dispatch order is unchanged:
tunnel filter, beforeRoute overlay, gate, handler. TUNNEL_PATHS stays a
literal in server.ts.

Behavior-preserving: the black-box auth matrix from the previous commit
passes unchanged. /memory and /inspector/events are declared root-bearer
because the blanket check always ran before their SSE-cookie branch.

Source-text route tests are rewritten as behavioral tests through
buildFetchHandler or a route's real handler with a stub RouteContext
(browse/test/route-test-harness.ts). Checks with no runtime seam are
re-pointed to the route modules: Surface type, /inspector/events SSE
helper, sanitizeReplacer imports, /pty-inject-scan sidecar-client import,
and the ngrok config lookup and startTunnel wiring that stay in server.ts.

* test(browse): stubbed-handler auth matrix and route inventory for the route table

Every ROUTES entry runs through the real dispatcher and gate with stub
handlers on each declared surface and six credentials; denials assert the
exact status and body each auth kind returned at 96764e8, admitted
credentials assert the handler ran (with the gate's TokenInfo for scoped
routes). Also pins the reviewed route inventory (method, path, auth kind,
surfaces), that every entry declares auth and surfaces, that the table's
tunnel paths equal the TUNNEL_PATHS literal with GET /connect admitted, the
unmatched fallthrough, and that the root token is rejected on every tunnel
route through buildFetchHandler.

* test(browse): ratchet (b) keeps route dispatch inside the route table

Scans browse/src/server.ts and browse/src/routes/*.ts for pathname
comparisons; only the table matcher and the tunnel-surface filter are
allowed, listed with reasons in browse/test/fixtures/route-dispatch-allowlist.json
(keyed on file plus line text). Also checks every entry declares auth and
surfaces and that gstack registers no beforeRoute overlay itself. Self-tests
plant a violation and assert the file:line, Fix: and allowlist path in the
message, that a shifted line stays allowlisted, and that a reasonless entry
is rejected.

* test: touchfile superset check for modules moved out of browse/src/server.ts

Records the paid evals selected by touching browse/src/server.ts at 96764e80
(17 E2E, 1 LLM judge) and asserts every browse/src/routes/*.ts module selects
a superset. The test reads every golden in test/fixtures/moved-module-selection/
so other moved-code goldens can sit beside it.

* test(shard-engine): give non-timeout corpus fixtures CI headroom; keep the POSIX golden off the Windows lane

Only the wall-timeout fixture keeps a 3s wall; the rest get 60s so a loaded
host cannot turn a pass into a timeout. Base and branch runners still agree
on every classification under the new walls. The Windows exclusion entry
moves the free runner's ratchet (c) residual cap to 2356 lines.

* refactor(pty): one runPtySession loop drives observation, counting and floor

test/helpers/pty/session.ts owns launch -> start -> (poll -> tick)* ->
timeout and the failure contract the three runners each hand-rolled: the
run's own error wins over capture and close errors, close always runs, owned
fixture cleanup runs last (also when launch fails). Each runner now supplies a
PtySessionPlan: its boot/command step, poll cadence (2s observation/floor
sleep; counting's output wake + 250ms coalesce), tick policy (permission
handling, native identity, terminal rules stay per runner because they differ)
and capture hooks. The runner bodies are decomposed into top-level steps so no
function exceeds 150 lines; behavior is unchanged and the fake-driver cases
from the first W4 commit pass unmodified.

The counting capture step and the native completion-summary predicate are now
named functions (countingCapture, isNativeCompletionSummary), so
plan-create-prepublication and plan-count-completion call them directly
instead of executing sliced source. The two harnesses that still execute a
sliced runner body with injected boundaries (eng-seeded-completion-ai,
plan-floor-permission) pass the PtyDriver seam instead of overriding
Date/Bun.sleep.

* test(ratchet-c): register route modules, review resolver modules and server.ts residual cap

* refactor(pty): decompose launchClaudePty and engNumberedFindingAUQ under 150 lines

launchClaudePty (349 lines) becomes launch preparation (args, hermetic
child env, owned state roots), recorder creation, spawn, the trust-dialog
watcher, close, and the session handle over one PtyProcess state object. The
failure order is unchanged: abort the viewport, dispose any recorders created
so far, dispose the viewport, rethrow. The --model / --strict-mcp-config
ordering and seedSkills wiring stay pinned by the behavioral fake-CLI tests.

engNumberedFindingAUQ (345 lines) keeps its guards and dispatch; each
self-contained issue family (declared cache, library retry hooks, cache
owner, injected singleton, shared writers, injected export) moves verbatim
into its own function. Every pty/ module is now <= 800 lines and every
top-level function <= 150 lines.

* test(pty): split claude-pty-runner.unit.test.ts along the pty/ module seams

The 188 unit tests move verbatim into claude-pty-runner.{screen,classify,
auq,launch,plan-native,boundaries}.unit.test.ts (test names unchanged; each
file imports only what it uses from the barrel). The five files that no longer
read a SKILL.md template join the test-of-test ratchet baseline with a reason.

* test(touchfiles): moved PTY modules keep their paid-eval selection

test/fixtures/touchfile-selection/w4-pty.json records, at 96764e8, the paid
evals selected by touching test/helpers/claude-pty-runner.ts (20) and
test/helpers/pty-screen.ts (20). touchfiles.test.ts now asserts every .ts file
under test/helpers/pty/ (and pty/screen.ts for both sources) selects a
superset, reading every golden in that directory so later moves can add one;
a planted-violation case pins the report and its Fix line.

* fix(browse): unexchanged pair setup keys no longer authenticate bearer requests

validateToken accepted a gsk_setup_ key as a bearer on /command, /batch and
/file (found while building the W3 auth matrix). A setup key now only
authenticates the /connect exchange.

* W1: one state-root owner (lib/state-root.ts + bin/gstack-state-root.sh), gstack-paths --explain and fail-stop, parity tests

* W1: guarded migration of every executable state-root site; uninstall deletes only ~/.gstack

Bins, careful/freeze hooks, setup, upgrade migrations, browse/src, design,
ios-qa daemon, lib and scripts resolve the state root through
bin/gstack-state-root.sh (bash) or lib/state-root.ts (TS). Bins source the
twin and stop with a reinstall message when it is missing; hooks source it
and never spawn gstack-paths. browse/src/config.ts and lib/cso/state.ts
delegate to resolveStateRoot. Analytics writers and readers move together
so the usage log stays one file. gstack-uninstall deletes state only at
~/.gstack, refuses (exit 2) when it resolves to /, $HOME or an ancestor,
the checkout or the git root, and leaves any other resolved root in place
with the removal command. Fixtures that copy single bins now copy the twin.

* W1: privacy keys and trust-policy deny tiers merge across state roots; gstack-config reporting; test hermeticity

readConfigKey / gstack_read_config_key return the most restrictive
telemetry, memorable_recall, codex_reviews and update_check across the
resolved root and ~/.gstack; other keys read the resolved root only.
gstack-config set reports an overriding root with the exact override
command, list shows the winning root and a root-variable disagreement line.
gstack-gbrain-repo-policy get merges deny/read-only tiers. gstack-egress
reads through readConfigKey. test-setup.ts strips inherited
GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/GSTACK_STATE_DIR and redirects the legacy root.

* W1: shared hook logging helper (hosts/claude/hooks/hook-log.ts)

One hook-errors.log writer: root from resolveStateRoot, 0600 on every
append, opt-in rate limit used only by memorable-user-prompt. The five
hooks route through it.

* W1: docs/state-root.md and README troubleshooting pointer

Precedence table, a real --explain example, the move-your-state recipe,
merged privacy keys, the uninstall rule, the resolver-failure fix, and the
plugin-mode note (evidence gate: no official plugin distribution).

* W1b: template and resolver prose resolve state through guarded gstack-paths; ratchet (a)

Every gstack-paths eval in templates and resolvers carries the fail-stop
guard; executable ~/.gstack paths in bash blocks (context recovery preamble,
eureka log, analytics, project artifacts, upgrade snooze, setup-gbrain lock,
retro snapshots, ship consent marker) use $GSTACK_STATE_ROOT, and the writer
prose that pairs with them points at the printed PROJECT_DIR / RETRO_FILE.
ship drops export GSTACK_STATE_ROOT. SKILL.md regenerated (claude + codex),
ship goldens re-pinned, parity and context-budget caps raised to the measured
sizes with notes. test/state-root-ratchet.test.ts enforces the rule with a
reasoned allowlist; W1 touchfile entries plus a superset golden.

* refactor: apply W1 state-root edits in W2/W3/W5-owned files; one moved-code touchfile golden for all workstreams

* test: fold the moved-code touchfile golden into touchfiles.test.ts; fix integration fixture closure and caps

* v1.91.11.0: CHANGELOG, TODOS, docs and conventions for the refactor wave

* test: re-measure plan-ceo/design-consultation caps and ship goldens after the guarded plan-discovery and spec-review blocks; add the state-root twin to the workflow-boundaries fixture

* fix(windows): migrations resolve their directory with either path separator; state-root parity compares under the HOME Git Bash actually sees

* fix(review,ship): state plan-check timing after smoke expiry and test_stub Skip semantics (review workflow judge clarity)

* test(qa-eval): webhook fix eval asks for the fix loop's post-repair probes; eight-scenario coverage stays in the report-only case and the harness recheck

* test(qa-eval): re-pin the webhook prompt contract to the fix-loop stage; R29 coverage omissions stay bound by the report-only case

* fix(review,ship): plan checks publish a checkpoint before each probe; only the smoke expiry stop is skipped

* fix(qa): carry #2999's checkpoint receipt link, report-template line and full-revision placeholder (identical hunks)

* test(qa-callers): disable git auto maintenance in the caller fixture

Git 2.47+ runs auto maintenance detached after commit; on the CI runner's git
2.55 it rewrote .git/objects fan-out directories while the write observer was
running, which surfaced as unauthorized mutations. Same gc.auto=0 /
maintenance.auto=false guard the shared-libs fixture already uses.

* test(plan-mode-no-op): require prose evidence for the prose-fallback members so a spinner-frame judge verdict cannot end the run as asked

* test(ship-docsync): carry #2999's seeded-attempt docsync harness (identical files)

The doc-sync fault cases replayed attempt 1 before reaching their gate and ran
out of their 285s budget. The fixture now seeds attempt 1 and the parent starts
at the gate under test. Taken byte-identical from origin/capy/audit-fix-wave
(fb526898, e6ac813d, 6ce10ff7, d0c53577, 77cce3be). Local: stale-before,
recovery and late-result 6/6 PASS (97-164s); the whole file 12/12 PASS.

2be6c06ba8 v1.65.0.0 feat: fork port wave 2 — feature fixes, session persistence, Apple releases, supply-chain CI (#2577)
* fix(memory-ingest): pass --include-gitignored to gbrain import

gstack-artifacts-init writes an ignore-everything .gitignore (a bare `*`,
headed "Do not edit") at the root of ~/.gstack. The memory ingest stages
pages into ~/.gstack/.staging-ingest-<pid>-<ts>/, which is inside that
repo, and gbrain's markdown collector honours .gitignore. The collector
therefore matches every staged file against `*` and collects zero.

The failure is silent. gbrain import exits 0 having imported nothing while
the ingest prints `written: N` from the STAGED count rather than the
imported count, so a run that indexes nothing looks identical to a healthy
one and the memory corpus quietly stops growing.

Reproduction, using git's own ignore machinery (no gbrain needed):

  git init .
  mkdir -p .staging-ingest-12345/learnings
  echo x > .staging-ingest-12345/learnings/page.md
  printf '*\n' > .gitignore
  git ls-files --others --exclude-standard   # -> empty

Passing --include-gitignored makes the import independent of whatever
.gitignore sits above the staging directory. Adding a negation to the
generated .gitignore is the alternative, but that file is gstack-owned and
marked "Do not edit", so any regeneration silently reintroduces the bug.

Adds a regression pin in the shape of memory-ingest-no-put_page.test.ts,
plus a behavioural test for the collision itself. Both source pins fail
against the unpatched file.

* fix(memory-ingest): GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES defense-in-depth on the import child (#2144)

Second layer under #2560's --include-gitignored: a realpath'd ceiling at the
staging dir's parent pushes any git-enumerating collector off the git fast
path (which sees zero files under ~/.gstack's ignore-everything root) onto
its plain FS walk, even on gbrain builds whose flag semantics drift. Ceiling
is realpath'd because git compares canonicalized directories during
discovery — a staging dir reached through a symlink (macOS /var ->
/private/var, symlinked $GSTACK_HOME) otherwise never matches.

Behavioral tests prove discovery stops at the ceiling from the staging dir,
including through a symlinked path, using git itself — no gbrain required.

Mechanism ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2).

* fix(autoplan): Phase 4 task aggregator emitted zero tasks on every run (#2018)

The branch+commit jq filter piped to the split commit array and then
referenced .commit — jq rebinds context across a pipe, so .commit indexed
the ARRAY with a string, every input line errored into 2>/dev/null, and
|| true swallowed the exit. The aggregate table has been empty for every
user since the feature shipped. Bind .commit to a variable before the pipe.

Functional pin extracts the ACTUAL emitted jq program from the resolver and
runs it against fixture JSONL (verified RED against the broken filter), plus
a source-shape guard against reintroducing a context-rebinding reference.

* fix(codex): BSD mktemp templates broke /codex on every macOS install (#2091)

macOS mktemp requires the X's to end the template; the five
"codex-*-XXXXXX.txt" sites failed with "mkstemp failed ... File exists"
before Codex ever ran (reproduced live on this machine). Same class fixed
in claude/SKILL.md.tmpl's three sites. bin/gstack-paths now strips macOS's
trailing slash from TMPDIR so TMP_ROOT-built paths stop carrying "//".

Static tripwire scans every tracked .tmpl for characters after the X-run in
a mktemp template (longer X-runs stay valid), plus a live portability check
of the emitted shape.

* fix(decision-log): --supersede silently discarded the replacement decision

The supersede/redact branch appended the retirement event and exited before
the JSON argument was ever read — a user recording a reversal WITH its
replacement lost the replacement, and the payload finder's first-non-flag-arg
predicate would have mistaken the target id for JSON anyway.

Payloads are now identified by their leading brace, validated BEFORE any
write, and appended FIRST (retirement second), so the only visible
interleaving under a crash is both-active — recoverable, never lost. The
replacement carries supersedes:<old-id> provenance. Bare --supersede <id>
(the documented reversal-without-replacement) stays legal; --redact with a
payload now refuses instead of dropping it.

Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2), tests included.

* fix(brain-context): cold-start probe latency permanently disabled gbrain context

gbrainAvailable() spawned gbrain --version under a 500ms budget; a cold CLI
start on a loaded machine blew the timeout, misclassified gbrain as missing,
and every skill session silently ran brainless — plus the per-query re-probe
burned 3x the budget before any real work. Replaced with a memoized
stat-based PATH scan (PATHEXT-aware on Windows) and made the query timeout
overridable via GSTACK_BRAIN_TIMEOUT_MS for loaded CI environments.

Also picks up the fork's manifest-filter coverage (#1687 shape) against the
fake-gbrain harness — passes against our existing filter support.

* fix(setup-gbrain): voyage-code-3 flags were silently dropped under zsh (#1798)

zsh does not word-split an unquoted $VAR, so all three PGLite-init sites
passed the entire flag string as ONE argv word — gbrain ignored it and
silently fell back to its default embedding model, downgrading code
retrieval for every zsh user (macOS default shell). Flags now ride the
positional params (set -- ...; "$@").

Tests run the shape under BOTH bash and zsh against the fake-gbrain argv
recorder (per-word argc log distinguishes one-blob from split), include a
demonstration of the zsh collision on the old shape, and pin the template's
three sites statically.

* fix(model-benchmark): recognize macOS Keychain auth in the claude adapter (#1890)

The default macOS Claude Code install stores OAuth under the Keychain
generic-password service "Claude Code-credentials" and never writes
~/.claude/.credentials.json, so available()'s file-or-env sniff reported
"No Claude auth found" while claude -p worked fine. On darwin the sniff
now also probes the Keychain entry — metadata only (no -w, the secret is
never read), 5s timeout, any security(1) failure degrades to not-found.

Verified live on this machine (subscription install, no creds file,
Keychain entry present).

* fix(upgrade): v1.27 migration no longer auto-proceeds without a TTY or records a failed rename as done (#1383)

Two silent-failure shapes in one script. Non-interactive runs (Claude Code
Bash tool, CI) blanket-auto-proceeded into a REMOTE repo rename — now they
skip-for-now by default and ask again next upgrade; unattended runs opt in
with GSTACK_MIGRATE_ASSUME_YES=1. And a failed gh rename was journaled as
done and the done-touchfile written, permanently stranding a half-renamed
install — the failed step now stays PENDING with the manual command printed,
finalize refuses the done-marker while any step is unjournaled, and the
migration exits 1 with a re-run pointer while completed steps still skip on
retry.

Harness updated to opt in explicitly; new tests pin the default-skip and
failure-stays-pending-then-retry-succeeds contracts (13/13).

* fix(ship): REST fallback when gh pr edit hits the Projects-classic GraphQL deprecation (#1079)

On repos where GitHub enforces the Projects-classic sunset, gh pr edit
hard-errors on repository.pullRequest.projectCards and Step 19's PR body
update dies. The template now names the error shape, says it is not an auth
problem, and falls back to the REST endpoint (gh api pulls/N -X PATCH) with
the SAME already-redaction-scanned temp file for body and title. Generated
SKILL.md regen rides the cluster regen commit.

* fix(ship): test-command detection was blind to Django and config-less-but-tested projects

The Test Framework Bootstrap detected Python only via requirements.txt or
pyproject.toml and treated missing config files as no-tests, so a green
'python manage.py test' Django app, a Go project with *_test.go beside the
source, in-source Rust #[test] blocks, or a package.json with only a test
script all got offered a SECOND test framework over a working one.

Detection now enumerates definitive per-ecosystem markers (manage.py,
tox.ini/setup.cfg, pom.xml/gradle, Makefile test targets, a tracked-file
test census, in-source Rust tests) as EVIDENCE for the question it asks —
never a command to run blind — preserving the read-CLAUDE.md-or-ask
contract, with a marker→candidate-command table and ask-once persistence.
The shared coverage-audit detection block gains the same markers.

Test runs the resolver's emitted detection bash against Django / Go / Rust /
Node fixtures in throwaway git repos.

* test: refresh ship goldens + parity ratios for cluster A growth

Codex/Factory hosts render single-file ship skills whose committed goldens
must track template changes; refreshed from the regenerated renders. Parity
size guards bumped with the growth itemized — ship (carve-guards) 1.08 ->
1.10 for the detection-evidence + REST-fallback growth measured at 1.090x,
qa (parity-harness monolith invariant) 1.07 -> 1.12 for the shared
coverage-audit markers measured at 1.111x. Kept tight so the next growth is
a deliberate decision, not drift; the Apple adapter raises ship again with
its own justification.

* fix(gbrain-sync): enforce the per-repo policy at the code-import chokepoint (#2140 sync path)

The deny/read-only tiers in ~/.gstack/gbrain-repo-policy.json were stored
by gstack-gbrain-repo-policy but enforced only in /sync-gbrain skill prose —
a direct or cron invocation of gstack-gbrain-sync ingested repo code
regardless. Worse: the code stage's egress receipt has cited 'per-repo
policy chokepoint (repoPolicyTier)' as its consent since v1.63 while no such
function existed. repoPolicyTier() now gates the stage before the dry-run
branch: deny → refused-policy-deny (exit 1, loud), read-only → clean
skipped-policy-read-only (code ingest writes pages), unreadable store →
fail-closed refused-policy-unreadable, no store → unchanged fail-open.

Subprocess tests pin all four paths against real git repos and a
permission-blocked store (verified RED against the ungated binary). The
receipt's consent string is truthful from this commit. #2140's ingest-path
source-isolation ask remains open — partial-progress comment at ship.

* fix(ios-qa): /auth/sessions no longer hands raw bearer tokens to any local process

The loopback sessions list echoed live tokens — a harvest-and-replay
primitive for anything on the machine (same class as the /health token leak
fixed in v1.63). The list now returns a device-salted 16-hex token_id plus
metadata; the salt is shared with the attempts log so identifiers correlate.
/auth/revoke keeps the list→revoke workflow alive by accepting token_id
alongside the caller's own raw token and identity. saltedHash() is exported
from audit.ts and writeAttempt now reuses it (was inlined).

Integration tests pin raw-token absence, the id shape/metadata, and the
token_id revoke round-trip (verified RED against the leaking handler).

List fix ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2); token_id revoke is ours.

* fix(ios-qa): boot token out of os_log entirely; IPv4 listener pinned to loopback at the socket

The StateServer's bootstrap announce logged the live boot token with
privacy: .public — and nothing consumed it: the daemon has read the token
from the 0600 app-container file since the devicectl copy flow landed. The
log line handed a credential to anything reading the unified log during the
launch window. It now announces port/build only.

The IPv4 listener bound the wildcard interface and relied on the
per-connection peer check alone; IPv4 has no CoreDevice tunnel path, so it
now binds 127.0.0.1 via requiredLocalEndpoint at the socket level. IPv6
keeps the wildcard bind for CoreDevice ULA peers by design.

Static pins cover both the template and the fixture app copy.

* fix(make-pdf): close the offline-gate bypass via raw-HTML fetch vectors

With --allow-network off, the sanitizer stripped script/iframe/link but let
Chromium fetch remote resources at print time through four raw-HTML vectors:
<style> @import (any form), remote url() in <style> blocks and inline style
attributes (incl. protocol-relative //), srcset with a remote candidate
(Chromium prefers srcset over the inlined src), and remote src/poster on
video/audio/source/track. All neutralized at the sanitizer; remote <img src>
is deliberately left for the image inliner so its blocked-remote placeholder
still fires, and url() mentions in prose/code spans stay untouched.

Fork's test suite ported verbatim (12 cases incl. the end-to-end render
assertion), verified RED against the old sanitizer.

* fix(pair-agent): tunnel activation is consent-gated — and the receipt's consent claim is now real

The tunnel egress receipts have claimed consent: 'pair_agent=on' since v1.63
while no such key or gate existed — ngrok installed+authed was enough for
the CLI to auto-start an internet-facing tunnel. isPairAgentEnabled() (fail-
closed, env-overridable) now gates all three activation points: CLI
auto-start, POST /tunnel/start (refuses with the enable hint), and the
BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 startup bind. Consent-on-first-use, not silent breakage:
the /pair-agent skill asks once (one-way-door posture), sets pair_agent via
gstack-config (registered with on|off validation, default off), and never
asks again; direct API callers get the same hint in the refusal.

Adapted from the fork's gate: their reader targeted config.json, which on
main would have made the gate silently un-enableable — ours reads the
canonical ~/.gstack/config.yaml with the JSON shape as fallback, pinned by
tests either way (11 cases, gate wiring tripwires included).

* fix(browse): cancel the parent watchdog when handoff promotes a daemon to headed

The parent-process watchdog assumes connection mode is fixed at boot: headless
daemons outlive their parent, headed ones do not. The env guards
(BROWSE_PARENT_PID=0, BROWSE_HEADED=1) only cover daemons that were headed when
they started.

handoff breaks that assumption. It swaps in a headed context on a RUNNING daemon
and sets connectionMode = 'headed' without a restart, so a daemon that
legitimately registered a watchdog lands on the fatal side of the branch. The
parent is usually a short-lived shell, and Claude Code's Bash tool kills one after
every invocation, so the next 15s poll shuts the daemon down.

The user-visible effect is that handoff destroys the thing it just created. It
exists so a human can log in, solve a CAPTCHA, or clear an MFA prompt; the browser
disappears about fifteen seconds later and takes the session with it. Observed
while driving two registrar control panels: five daemon deaths and three logins,
each one discarding the authenticated session.

BrowserManager now exposes onHeadedPromotion, fired only on runtime promotion and
not on a headed boot, and the server binds it to a canceller for the interval it
already owned but previously discarded. Bound on both the module-level manager and
any embedder-supplied one, since the watchdog reads activeBrowserManager and
binding only the default would let embedders promote silently.

The binding sits next to the browserManager declaration rather than next to
clearParentWatchdog. Placing it with the function, which lives with the watchdog it
cancels, reads better but touches browserManager in its temporal dead zone, which
aborts module evaluation and leaves every later const uninitialized. findport
tests catch that immediately.

Tests: watchdog.test.ts already noted in its header that its three cases all fix
mode via env at spawn time, so none reaches the headed branch. Driving a real
handoff needs a headed Chromium, so the wiring is pinned with static tripwires
instead, matching cdp-session-cleanup.test.ts and server-auth.test.ts. Verified
they fail when the notification call is removed and pass when restored.

Full `bun test` shows the same 6 pre-existing failures on this branch and on main
(gstack-gbrain-detect, gstack-artifacts-init), which pass in isolation on both, so
they are test-order pollution rather than a regression here.

* fix(browse): pass windowsHide so the daemon stops popping console windows

On Windows, `browse` leaves empty black console windows on top of whatever the
user is doing — they pop up every few minutes for as long as any browser skill
is alive, and outlive the process that created them.

Cause: `bun-polyfill.cjs` maps `Bun.spawn`/`Bun.spawnSync` onto node's
`child_process`, and node defaults `windowsHide` to **false**. Bun never creates
these windows, so nothing in the daemon's own code looks wrong — the behaviour
only appears on the node fallback path.

The one users notice is `spawnTerminalAgent()`, which launches
`bun run terminal-agent.ts` through this shim. The daemon respawns it on a
watchdog, so closing the window is not enough — a new one arrives shortly after.
Ten `bun.exe` processes were live on the machine this was diagnosed on.

Why they linger after the child exits: with the default terminal application set
to "Let Windows decide", the console is brokered through Windows Terminal via
svchost, and WT leaves the empty frame behind when its only child exits. The
frame has no child process at all, which is why it looks like a dead terminal.

Setting `windowsHide: true` on both wrappers fixes every console child routed
through the shim — the bun agent plus the `tasklist`, `git` and `powershell`
calls elsewhere in the daemon. No behaviour change on macOS or Linux, where the
option is ignored.

Not covered by this commit: `chromium.launch()` goes through playwright's own
process launcher rather than this shim, so it still creates one window per daemon
start. Worth a follow-up.

* test(browse): make bun-polyfill tests runnable on Windows, and cover windowsHide

`bun test browse/test/bun-polyfill.test.ts` was **0 pass / 4 fail on Windows**
before this — every test in the file, on the platform the polyfill exists to
support.

Each test interpolates the polyfill's absolute path into a single-quoted JS
string passed to `node -e`. On Windows that path has backslashes, so JS eats
them as escapes:

    'C:\Users\jwilk\dev\gstack-fork\browse\src\bun-polyfill.cjs'
      ->  C:Usersjwilkdevgstack-forkrowsesrcun-polyfill.cjs

(`\b` is a real escape, so it deletes a character too.) `require()` throws, the
subprocess dies, stdout is empty, and every assertion compares against "". The
tests pass on macOS and Linux purely because those paths have no backslashes.

Fixed by interpolating with `JSON.stringify(polyfillPath)`, which quotes and
escapes correctly on all platforms.

Also adds a regression test for the windowsHide fix in the previous commit. It
stubs `child_process.spawn`/`spawnSync` *before* the polyfill destructures them
and asserts the captured options, so it is deterministic and needs no window —
it verifies the contract on macOS and Linux too, where the option is a no-op.

Verified on Windows: 5 pass / 0 fail with the fix, and the new test alone fails
("VISIBLE" instead of "HIDDEN") when the previous commit is reverted.

* fix(browse): forward windowsHide through the Bun polyfill spawn shims

The Node fallback shim accepts a Bun.spawn options object and forwards
only stdio, env and cwd to child_process.spawn. windowsHide is dropped,
and because Node defaults it to false while Bun.spawn hides the console
window, the omission inverts the behavior on the one platform the shim
exists to support.

Symptom: the terminal-agent respawn in server.ts (60s watchdog ticker)
pops a visible bun.exe console window on Windows every time it fires,
so the window keeps coming back with no scheduled task or startup entry
behind it. stdio:'ignore' silences the child's output but does not
suppress its window.

Both shims now forward the option and default it to true, matching the
Bun API being emulated; an explicit windowsHide:false still passes
through. spawnTerminalAgent also sets it explicitly at the call site.

Tests: three cases in browse/test/bun-polyfill.test.ts assert the
default for spawn and spawnSync and that an explicit false is honored.
Each was confirmed to fail against the unpatched shim.

Drive-by, required to run the suite at all on Windows: the tests
interpolated an absolute path into a JS string literal, so backslashes
were consumed as escapes and every require() failed with
MODULE_NOT_FOUND. The path is now normalized to forward slashes. On
Windows this file went from 0/4 passing to 7/7.

* fix(browse): headed mode on macOS 26 — stop mutating the signed Chromium bundle, heal the ones we already broke (#2242, #2138, #2139)

The in-place rebrand rewrote the Chrome-for-Testing bundle's Info.plist
(global name replace — which also renamed CFBundleExecutable to a binary
that doesn't exist) and overwrote its Resources/*.icns, breaking the
codesign seal: GPU process exit_code=5, headed mode dead on macOS 26. The
mutation lived in the SHARED Playwright cache, so it also poisoned the
user's other Playwright projects.

Three layers land together: (1) the rebrand block is gone — branding lives
in the GStack Browser.app wrapper via GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH, with a tombstone
and a static tripwire (no plist/icns writes into the bundle; the tripwire
allows the read-only probe below); (2) a launch-time self-heal detects an
already-poisoned cache bundle, removes it, and errors with the exact
re-fetch command — covering deploy paths that never run migrations;
(3) migration v1.64.0.0 sweeps every cached bundle, removes poisoned ones,
and re-fetches clean Chromium immediately (migrations run after ./setup, so
without the re-fetch an upgrade would end with zero working browser).
Functionally verified against fixture caches: poisoned removed, clean
untouched, rerun no-op. Migration filename tracks the final VERSION at ship.

The #2242 watchdog half is the absorbed PR #2565 (thanks @Screddyice).
Tombstone/tripwire ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2); self-heal and
migration are ours.

* fix(browse): 'browse stop' no longer restarts the daemon it was asked to stop

The stop handler awaited shutdown() — which ends in process.exit — before
returning, so the acknowledgement never egressed. The CLI's fetch reset,
which its crash path reasonably interpreted as a dead daemon: it relaunched
Chromium, re-sent stop, watched the daemon exit again, and errored 'Server
crashed twice in a row'. Every stop cost a wasted Chromium launch and a
nonzero exit. The ack now returns first; shutdown fires on a 25ms unref'd
timer. Same fix for restart. Fork's test pins ack-before-teardown for both.

acquireServerLock's bare catch treated EVERY failure as 'another process

phantom contention with nothing to debug. Now only EEXIST is contention:
ENOENT self-heals with one mkdirSecure retry, everything else throws
ServerLockError carrying the real errno, and the stale-lock unlink/retry
loop is depth-capped so it can't livelock. Fork's five-case test ported.

requests. Message-text assertion adapted: our CLI retries silently at the
probe layer where the fork announces on stderr; the behavior, not the
message, is the invariant.

* fix(browse): windowsHide on every Windows-reachable spawn (#1835)

Console windows flashed (and stole focus) on every daemon relaunch,
taskkill, tasklist poll, and powershell DPAPI call — node-level spawns
default windowsHide to false. Covered: the node -e launcher (outer spawnSync
AND the inner detached daemon spawn inside the launcher string), the
dev-mode bun fallback, killServer's taskkill, isProcessAlive's tasklist,
and cookie-import's powershell + tasklist. The Bun-polyfill shims were
covered by absorbed PRs #2523 + #2539 (thanks @jwilk-hrep,
@jerrynicholsai); this closes the sites those PRs didn't reach. The icacls
sites land with the #1605 DACL commit alongside the static tripwire that
pins all of them. R8's planned spawnHidden() helper is deliberately NOT
built: the polyfill default plus the tripwire achieve the no-drift goal
without indirection over seven heterogeneous call shapes. The polyfill +
spawn-hide tests join the Windows CI shard.

* fix(browse): self-repair broken Windows DACLs on state dirs (#1605)

icacls '/inheritance:r /grant:r' can partially fail on localized or domain
accounts: inheritance strips but the user grant doesn't resolve, leaving a
machine-SID-only DACL the owner can't even list — the sidebar/PTY failure
chain in #1605, caused by the very hardening call meant to protect the dir.
mkdirSecure now verifies listability after hardening (a real readdir —
fs.accessSync doesn't consult NTFS ACLs) and repairs via icacls /reset,
re-hardens, and if hardening breaks access again leaves inherited ACLs:
functional-but-unhardened beats hardened-but-unusable. The icacls calls
carry windowsHide (#1835's last two sites) and the fork's static spawn-hide
tripwire lands here, pinning every covered site. file-permissions.test.ts
is already in the windows-free-tests curated shard, so the DACL contract
executes on windows-latest.

* feat(browse): opt-in session persistence — auth survives daemon restarts (#778, #2193)

BROWSE_PERSIST_STATE=1 snapshots cookies + per-tab URL/localStorage/
sessionStorage to <stateDir>/session-state.json (0600) on a 30s unref'd
interval and at clean shutdown, and restores on the next launch — killing
the top-complained auth-lost-on-restart class (#778, #2193, #1128, #1129).

Security invariants mirror state save|load: loadedHtml and owner are never
persisted and never accepted from disk; restored cookies pass the same
hygiene filter (localhost/.internal/metadata domains dropped); restoreState
re-validates every URL. Default OFF; headed mode excluded (the persistent
profile owns that state). Hardened past the fork's shape per review R3:
corrupt state quarantines to .corrupt (forensic artifact, boots fresh, one
log line), snapshot failures warn once and never kill the daemon, and the
boot log reports restored counts or fresh-session status.

* feat(skills): third-party web-actions contract — offer to drive vendor-site steps, never just dump a manual list

When a workflow needs something done on an external website the user
controls (register an API key, create a vendor account, configure a
dashboard/webhook/OAuth app), five skills (ship, spec, office-hours,
setup-deploy, land-and-deploy) now follow one contract: offer to drive it
in a visible browser via gstack's own stack ($B headed + handoff/resume,
GStack Browser) behind ONE per-task consent question naming the exact site
and actions; passwords, payment, CAPTCHA, and identity stay user-performed;
captured secrets go to owner-only files or the user's secret store, never
chat/logs/history; and the credential is verified with one non-mutating API
call before any success claim — dashboards show masked placeholders, and a
401 catches them. Declining yields manual steps and a blocked-on-user mark;
nothing new is ever installed to close the gap.

* feat(office-hours): design docs land in the repo, written as decision records (#703, #2000)

Office-hours Phase 5 now dual-writes the design doc: the docs/designs/ copy
is what teammates and plan reviews read (committable, visible), while the
~/.gstack copy keeps memory ingest and cross-session discovery working. The
repo copy leaves the private store, so it passes the redaction scan-at-sink
first (HIGH blocks the repo copy, MEDIUM confirms per finding), and any
failure — read-only checkout, non-git dir, unconfirmed finding — degrades
to the private copy with a one-line reason, never blocking the handoff.

The doc itself is now a decision record, not a transcript: one bullet per
decision with its why, ruled-out approaches collapsed to a single line with
the rejection reason, settled/empty template sections omitted. No page cap;
extra length must come from genuinely open questions.

Plan reviews (ceo/eng/devex + the shared review resolver) prefer the
repo-local doc (DESIGN.md, then newest docs/designs/*.md) when it's at
least as fresh as the private copy — a stale old repo doc never shadows a
newer session. Parity guards bumped with measured values (three plan-review
skeletons +~0.7KB each; office-hours 1.092x).

The Phase 6 resources offer (34 PG essays + Garry/YC videos) had no
permanent decline — the reporter showed memory instructions kept being

The offer now closes with a standing choice; opting out runs
gstack-config set founder_resources false (new key, default true, true|false
validated), the write is VERIFIED before any promise (a failed write says so
and skips this session only), and every future session skips the entire
section silently — no resources, no 'skipped as requested' mention. Config
outlives session context, so never means never. Re-enable anytime:
gstack-config set founder_resources true. The pitch stays default-ON for
everyone who never opted out.

Tests pin the key's default/persistence/validation through the real config
bin and the generated section's gate-before-content + write-verify contract.

* feat(ship): the Apple App Store release journey — working tree to Submit for Review

Point /ship at a repo with an .xcodeproj, .xcworkspace, or app-product Swift
package and ask to release: the adapter runs the whole journey with ONE
authorization moment (membership + pricing + in-session sign-in, decision-
store persisted so repeat releases ask nothing) and one store-assets question
only when assets are missing. fastlane is the single tool (produce/cert/
sigh/gym/pilot/deliver/frameit); credential vocabulary never reaches the
user.

The adapter carries 21 live releases' worth of paid-for Apple knowledge:
the web session mints the permanent upload key itself (iris POST
/v1/apiKeys; privateKey is base64-of-PEM, downloadable only at creation) so
nobody ever types an app-specific password; error -22938 is Transporter
asking for a key, not a user task; errors are CLASSIFIED before credentials
are touched (validation/UnexpectedResponse = metadata, incl. Apple's
expanded age-rating attributes); pricing goes through POST
/v1/appPriceSchedules because fastlane's price_tier is broken against the
current API; and store distribution NEVER routes through the branch gate —
a clean tree on main is the solo shipper's normal case (Step 0.9 loads the
adapter BEFORE the gate, pinned by test with the non-Apple gate
byte-unchanged and unique). Uploads/submissions follow an idempotency-log
contract (inspect App Store Connect before any re-run). Non-Mac hosts get
the honest split: build legs via a macOS CI runner with the minted key as a
secret, API legs local. Browser use inside the journey is banned except the
named paid-app banking/tax residue. Redaction dry-run clean.

Ship's parity ratio raised 1.12 -> 1.22 deliberately: the 14.8KB section is
on-demand (Apple store targets only), one manifest line otherwise.

* feat(code-intelligence): provider contract Phase 1 — GBrain, Sourcebot, Graphify behind one ask-once offer

Open a large repo (1,000+ tracked files) and gstack can offer code
intelligence ONCE, with the trade-offs stated: GBrain (semantic memory +
code, sends content to YOUR gbrain DB, per-repo consent), Sourcebot
(self-hosted whole-repo search, local on localhost), Graphify (local
tree-sitter graph, nothing leaves the machine, user-installed), or No
indexing — a decline persists machine-wide so no skill ever asks again.
Small repos never see the question; grep stays the always-working default
and provider-OFF degrades silently (PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE -> file-only).

Ported: lib/code-intelligence/ (contract + 3 verified adapters + picker +
selection + suggest, MIT headers), the gstack-code-intelligence CLI
(suggest/select/consent/index/search/status), 31 offline tests (fake CLI
shims + injected fetch), and the provider-contract design doc. Verified
live on this repo: suggest fires at 1,233 files with real availability
detail per provider.

Hardened per review: the per-remote trust store is the SINGLE consent
authority — a gstack-gbrain-repo-policy deny tier vetoes any recorded
code-intelligence consent (fail-closed on an unreadable store, pinned by
three tests); both send-capable adapters are registered as fail-closed
MODULE_SINKS in the egress tripwire so a refactor can't drop their
receipts; and local-compute vs remote-send consents are never bundled.
setup-gbrain gains the provider-choice Step 0. The fork's Phases 2-4
glue-collapse is explicitly NOT ported.

* feat(ci): supply-chain hygiene — secret gate on every PR diff, dependency review, OSV, dependabot, evidence-bar PR template

The repo owned a redaction engine and had zero CI-side secret scanning.
quality-gate.yml now pipes every PR diff's ADDED lines through our own
bin/gstack-redact (gate-secret-scan.mjs, taken from the fork — it dogfoods
the engine): HIGH findings fail the check, MEDIUM prints an advisory count
only (no human in CI to confirm), planted-bug fixtures excluded by pathspec.
Live-verified both directions: PEM key fails, clean diff and MEDIUM shapes
pass; ShellCheck (errors) covers the setup/build shell boundary and passes
today; bun audit gates critical advisories. Trigger is pull_request, never
pull_request_target.

dependency-review.yml adopts the hardened never-merged prior-art branch
(fail-on-severity high, workflow paths watched, tight perms) — verify the
dependency graph parses bun.lock with a canary bump before trusting the
gate. dependabot: weekly, grouped per ecosystem, capped PR counts; and
evals.yml image build/push now skips dependabot actors, whose read-only
GITHUB_TOKEN made every lockfile bump a permanently red check. OSV scans
weekly with a reasoned ignore file. All new workflow actions SHA-pinned.
Scorecard deliberately not taken (no consumer for the score).

The PR template front-loads the evidence bar (live proof, liveness
screenshot, no-ETHOS/voice-changes checklist); the unenforced DCO line is
dropped. bin/gstack-verify-gate ships OPT-IN (never registered by ./setup —
a Stop hook running the project's verify command after every turn is the
user's call), with the fork's tests adapted to pin exactly that.

Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2) + our own prior-art branch.

* chore: remove dead bins; extend the stale-ref scan to docs (the 36-release gap)

bin/chrome-cdp, bin/gstack-open-url, and bin/gstack-platform-detect were
referenced only by an audit test and CHANGELOG history — dead weight that
the stale-ref scanner should police, which required removing them FIRST.
The scanner now also sweeps docs/, README.md, and USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK
— the deliberate exclusion that let a dead command survive ~36 releases as
a command-not-found instruction. Scan is green on the extended surface.

* fix(bins): detect the default branch instead of hardcoding main

gstack-diff-scope fell to an empty diff (all-false SCOPE_*) and
gstack-next-version mis-based its bump math on any repo whose default
branch isn't main (trunk, master, local-only). Both now resolve
origin/HEAD -> origin/main -> origin/master -> main.

* fix: housekeeping sweep — telemetry integrity, persistent opt-out, context-bill accuracy, setup hang, dev-server discovery, model resolution (#2136 + v1.63 polish)

Seven small fixes, one theme (claims matching code):
- telemetry-sync strips local-only fields with jq del() (structural) instead
  of quote-fragile sed regexes; unparseable lines are dropped, never
  forwarded unstripped. Sed survives only as a jq-less fallback.
- telemetry-log rejects non-integer durations BEFORE the range caps, whose
  test(1) comparisons silently no-op on non-numerics — a malformed duration
  spliced raw text into the JSONL stream.
- browse's local telemetry honors the persistent tier (config.yaml
  telemetry: off), not just the preamble's env hint — direct $B use and
  embedders now respect the opt-out.
- gstack-context-bill --exact sees GSTACK_-promoted keys inside Conductor
  (conductor-env-shim wired at the CLI entry), and the TOTAL line no longer
  double-counts every nested skill through the root skill's walk (v1.63
  deferred polish; the telemetry-sync HTTP-status outcome deferred alongside
  it turned out already shipped).
- setup's Chromium probe is deadline-bounded (90s, background + poll-kill —
  macOS has no GNU timeout) and prefers Node for the launch probe everywhere
  (the bun --eval hang family behind #2136); the install is single-flight
  behind a lock dir with an actionable stale-lock message. Probe verified
  live on this Mac.
- the review resolver's dev-server check reads CLAUDE.md and the plan file
  before falling back to an expanded port probe, and says how to make
  itself smarter next time.
- eval/harness model IDs resolve through lib/eval-model.ts
  (GSTACK_EVAL_MODEL[_KIND] env overrides, per-kind defaults, tested) at the
  SDK-capture and PTY-warmup sites; the bash-embedded distill snippet
  mirrors the resolution inline.
- memory-ingest's silent-zero shape (staged>0, imported+unchanged==0,
  errors==0) warns even under --quiet — a run that indexes nothing must
  never look healthy again.

* test: wire ios-qa/daemon/test into the free suite and shard runner (E2)

The daemon's 5 test files (allowlist, audit, auth-mint, cli-mint,
daemon-integration — now 6 with session hardening) were invisible to every
runner: not in the bun test glob, not in TEST_ROOTS. The same
silent-coverage-hole class as the tracked design/test P2 — and it meant
B2's auth regression tests would never have gated. All files are hermetic
(stub state-servers on ephemeral ports, no devices); verified green in the
shard census.

* feat(skills): claimed limitations now require evidence, everywhere + wave follow-ups filed

Every tier-2+ skill's preamble gains one directive distilled from nine live
release failures in two days on the fork: a claimed limitation or
requirement ('the API can't do this', 'X requires a credential',
'impossible on this platform') is a material claim, stated only with the
verbatim error, the documented statement, or a live probe in hand —
pattern-matching a failure to a familiar story is not evidence, and a cheap
probe runs BEFORE asking the user or declaring a step blocked. ONE directive
adapted into the preamble resolver; the fork's full judgment contract is
deliberately not imported. Full regen (46 files), ship goldens refreshed,
parity guards bumped with the measured ~0.45KB/skill (investigate, autoplan,
plan-design-review, office-hours), Step 0.9 registered as an intentional
sub-step.

Approved deferrals filed: persona-fleet hostile-user harness + answer-key
methodology in TODOS; the fork's question-budget ACCOUNTING judgment (never
its 5/8/12 constants) folded into the V1.1 pacing design doc; the Apple
adapter added to #1882's coverage note.

Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2).

* fix(make-pdf): close offline-gate bypasses via unquoted style attrs, CSS-escape and HTML-entity obfuscation

Three live vectors found by the ship review army, all red-first tested:
unquoted style attributes skipped the remote-url neutralizer entirely;
CSS ident/string escapes (@\69mport, url(\68ttps://…)) defeated the
literal-match patterns Chromium happily decodes; and HTML entities in
style attribute values (&#104;ttps) decoded to fetchable schemes before
CSS parsing. Style-attr values are now entity-decoded in one browser-
faithful pass, escape-bearing at-rules and function tokens are dropped
fail-closed, and output is re-encoded double-quoted. 21 new test rows.

* fix(migrations): v1.65 Chromium re-fetch actually re-downloads, and success is verified before .done

The migration (renamed from the provisional v1.64.0.0 slot, which open
PR #2564 claims) deleted only the poisoned .app while Playwright's
INSTALLATION_COMPLETE marker survived in the revision dir — so the
advertised 'bunx playwright install chromium' re-fetch no-opped and the
user finished the upgrade with no browser and a success message. Now:
the whole chromium-<rev> dir goes, bunx runs cwd-pinned to the install
root, .done is gated on a verified executable, and a needs-refetch
sentinel makes re-runs retry a failed download. Stranded rev dirs
(markers without .app) also re-trigger. 6 hermetic tests, red-first.

* fix(migrations): v1.27 remediation prints a real command instead of a fictional flag

Every skip/failure path referenced '/setup-gbrain --rerun-migration',
which is implemented nowhere, and promised the migration 'will ask
again next upgrade', which the version-window runners make false. All
five sites now print the direct GSTACK_MIGRATE_ASSUME_YES=1 bash
invocation. Runner-side re-offer tracking is filed in TODOS.

* fix(browse): poisoned-bundle self-heal removes the revision dir, probes handoff too, and throws typed

Same marker flaw as the migration: rmSync of the .app alone left
INSTALLATION_COMPLETE behind, so the error message's own remediation
no-opped and the user was hard-stuck. The probe is now an exported,
unit-tested helper (probePoisonedChromiumBundle) that removes the whole
chromium-<rev> dir, never touches GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH custom bundles,
throws PoisonedBundleError (instanceof, not string-match), and runs on
BOTH headed entry points — launchHeaded and handoff. 7 tests.

* fix(browse): session snapshots are atomic and the cookie filter drops loopback IP literals

A crash mid-write destroyed the previous good snapshot — the exact
scenario persistence exists to survive; writes now go tmp+rename. The
internal-network cookie filter gains 127.*/::1/169.254.* (a tampered
state file could previously hand loopback-service cookies back to the
browser), and 'state load' imports the shared filter instead of
maintaining a comment-synced copy. Test cleanup made exception-safe.

* fix(browse): server runtime — restore off the boot path, shutdown that cannot hang, watchdog that still reaps tunnels

Four review findings on the wave's own new wiring: session restore ran
before Bun.serve with sequential 15s gotos while the CLI gives up at 8s
(one slow saved URL bricked every $B command) — restore now runs in the
background after bind; the shutdown snapshot gets a 2s deadline so a
wedged page.evaluate can't hold the port forever behind the new
ack-first stop; the persistence ticker gets in-flight + shutdown gates
and is cleared before the final snapshot; and the absorbed #2565
handoff fix no longer clears the whole parent watchdog — a suppress
flag keeps the tunnel-orphan reaper alive (handoff→resume→tunnel is no
longer an unreapable internet-exposed daemon). pair-agent with consent
off now names the real remedy instead of ngrok install instructions.
Lock-acquisition edge branches (garbage pidfile, vanish-race depth cap)
pinned.

* fix(browse): telemetry defaults to off like every other surface

The persistent tier defaulted ON when the config key was absent, while
gstack-config's DEFAULTS table answers 'off' for the same question —
preamble-spawned daemons and direct $B daemons disagreed about consent.
Absent key/file now means disabled; community/anonymous enable; env
kill-switch still beats everything. Both config.yaml consumers now
share one readGstackConfigYamlKey reader. 12-case consent suite.

* fix(code-intelligence): consent that means what it says — polarity, receipts, read-only veto

Four review findings on the wave's own Phase 1 port, all red-first:
'consent <repo> no' recorded consent GRANTED (the CLI ignored the
argument and always wrote true) — yes|no is now required and garbage
records nothing; Sourcebot egress receipts claimed consented=true on
paths that never checked consent — the actual consent state is threaded
into every receipt, search is fail-closed on non-loopback, and the
liveness probe's receipt says truthfully that it sends no repo content;
repoPolicyVeto only honored the deny tier while gbrain refresh writes
pages — write-class ops now veto on read-only too, matching the sync
chokepoint, via one shared lib/gbrain-repo-policy-client.ts (win32
bash invocation, spawn-vs-unreadable error distinction) used by both
call sites. Also: source ids get a host+path hash (same-name repos no
longer collide), refresh timeout raised to 120s, availability probes
run concurrently at 3s, graphify status stops JSON.parsing 100MB graphs
for a count, and every ported file carries the fork MIT notice.
+15 tests across the two suites.

* fix(verify-gate): trust before eval, re-check on re-entry, audit every grant

The opt-in Stop hook eval'd whatever command the first CLAUDE.md up the
tree declared — any cloned repo got arbitrary shell at turn end. Now a
per-repo trust store (path+command hash, 0600) gates execution: an
untrusted or changed command never runs (exit 0 with the --trust
invocation printed), stop_hook_active re-entry re-runs the trusted
check instead of rubber-stamping (bounded at 3 blocks per episode), and
every grant appends a forensic line to
~/.gstack/security/verify-gate-trust-grants.jsonl. 20 tests, red-first.

* fix(setup): EXIT traps chain instead of clobbering; timed-out probes reap their whole tree

The Playwright-lock trap replaced the copied-bun cleanup trap and then
cleared ALL exit handling, leaking .tmp-bun-bin on every Chromium
install; and _wait_with_deadline killed only the subshell, orphaning
the wedged node→Chromium tree it exists to escape — re-creating the
#2136 pile-up on every timed-out re-run. Traps now chain; timeouts
walk pgrep -P descendants leaves-first.

* refactor(resolvers): one source for the design-doc discovery block

The #703 repo-doc-preference bash was pasted byte-identically into
three plan-review templates and a fourth copy embedded in review.ts —
drift there means plan reviews disagree about which design doc wins.
Now a {{DESIGN_DOC_DISCOVERY}} resolver; generated output is
byte-identical, so no SKILL.md changes ride along.

* fix(ship): finish the Apple upload idempotency sentence

The durable-effect contract dropped its consequence clause mid-sentence
— the instruction for what to DO when the idempotency key already
exists (treat the upload as possibly-done, never re-run it) was
missing from the one rule governing whether a binary uploads twice.

* fix(ci): SHA-pin dependency-review; the secret gate fails closed without a report

dependency-review.yml rode mutable refs (@v4 resolves to a BRANCH on
that repo) inside the one workflow whose job is supply-chain hygiene —
now commit-pinned like its siblings, with dependabot keeping the pins
fresh. gate-secret-scan.mjs crashed with an unhandled EPIPE on
oversize diffs (the designed report.oversize branch was unreachable:
the scanner emits no JSON on refusal) — the pipe write now tolerates
early exit and a missing report is an explicit fail-closed exit 1.
Oversize + broken-scanner legs pinned.

* fix(bins): Windows-safe GIT_CEILING join; next-version probes the full default-base chain

GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES was joined with ':' — git on Windows splits on
';' and drive letters contain ':', silently disabling the #2144
second-layer defense there; now path.delimiter. next-version's
default-base detection only tried origin/HEAD then 'main', diverging
from the canonical 4-step chain diff-scope uses — origin/main and
origin/master probes added, pinned by fixture repos.

* fix(eval-model): kinds are a literal union, not string

Record<string,string> widened EvalModelKind to string, so a typo'd
kind only failed at runtime; as const satisfies keeps the closed set
the doc comment promises.

* test: coverage backfill from the ship review

The telemetry-strip invariant only validated the sed FALLBACK while
the live jq path went unchecked — the jq del() lists are now held to
the same every-emitted-field bar, plus a behavioral pipe-through. The
context-bill nested-skill double-count fix gets a regression pin (a
revert shipped green before). The windowsHide tripwire gains
terminal-agent-control.ts — the exact file the fix commit names. The
ios-qa revoke-by-token_id branch gets its negative case: unknown ids
revoke nothing and leave live sessions alone.

* docs: SLATE_HOST no longer cites the deleted platform-detect bin

Host detection lives in the hosts/ registry via host-config-export.ts;
the doc's known-gaps list now says so instead of pointing at a bin this
branch removed.

* test(e2e): headroom for the two plan-ceo-review budget-edge tests

Both rode their 360s runner budget at the edge (main clears at 243s of
360s), and the wave legitimately adds work to the review: the evidence
directive tells the agent to probe before claiming, and the design-doc
discovery block adds bash steps. Under concurrent in-file children the
API queuing tipped all retry attempts past the ceiling — the runner then
reports $0.00/0 turns for a timed-out child, which reads like a dead
spawn but is a healthy child killed at the deadline. 540s runner / 660s
test for these two only; verified 2/2 green at 228s and 315s.

* fix(code-intelligence): gbrain search/export are consent-gated and receipted

The Sourcebot side got this in the last round; gbrain had the same hole —
search() and export() sent repo-derived query text into a possibly-remote
DATABASE_URL with no consent check and no egress receipt, bypassing the
deny-tier veto. Both now assert consent before any bytes move, receipts
record the actual consent state (never a hardcoded true), and search
receipts carry the query's sha256. gbrain stays fail-closed: the adapter
cannot see where DATABASE_URL points, so every send requires consent.
7 new tests, red-first.

* fix(make-pdf): SVG remote refs and image-set can no longer fetch offline

<svg><image href=https://…> and <use xlink:href=…> survived the gate (only
javascript: schemes were stripped from svg hrefs), and bare-string
image-set("https://…" 1x) dodged the url()-shaped neutralizer. Remote
svg hrefs rewrite to '#' (entity-decode-aware, unclosed-svg smuggle
closed) and remote image-set args neutralize to url(#). Local fragments,
local image-set, and plain <a> links pinned intact. 12 new rows, red-first.

* fix(browse): duplicate config keys read last-wins, matching gstack-config

readGstackConfigYamlKey took the FIRST match while gstack-config's get
takes the LAST — a duplicated pair_agent or telemetry line made the two
consent surfaces disagree about what the user chose.

* fix(setup): stale Chromium-install lock self-heals

The mkdir mutex had no owner: a SIGKILL'd setup left the lock behind and
every later run exited with manual rmdir instructions. The holder pid is
recorded in the lock; a dead holder is reclaimed automatically.

* fix(setup-gbrain): the code-intelligence offer gate skips when the bin is absent

The new Step 1.7 told the agent to run gstack-code-intelligence before
the path pick — on installs predating the CLI (and hermetic E2E
children) the bin doesn't exist and setup derailed before doing any
setup. The gate now probes for the bin and reports offer:false
reason:bin-absent, with explicit instructions to proceed: the user asked
for gbrain, so set up gbrain. Never block setup on an optional gate.

* test(e2e): periodic-tier repairs from the failure triage

Each fix traces to a receipt: brain-privacy-gate staged config never
reached the hermetic child (ambient GSTACK_HOME is scrubbed) and the
operator's remote-mode gbrain suppressed the gate — both now injected
per-test; ship-idempotency threw away its evidence on the timeout path
and ran a 600s budget its own subject can exceed (now 900s, evidence
captured); auto-decide-preserved gets the same headroom its sibling
plan-ceo tests got; context-skills' hides-checks scanned bash output
where an ls legitimately names old checkpoints (final-text scope now);
design names the missing section instead of a bare count and learns the
easing/duration/micro-interaction synonyms; qa-workflow's collector
afterAll gets an explicit 60s hook timeout.

* fix(eval-harness): eng-review phase boundary fires on qid-tagged questions

The Step 0 boundary only matched two prose phrases, but plan-eng-review
may legitimately reach the review phase without either — every
per-finding AskUserQuestion then counted as pre-review and the batching
regression test read 0 questions while watching the agent ask them one
by one. The boundary now also fires on the first answered question
carrying a gstack-qid:eng-review- marker. Additive only; 119 runner
unit tests green.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.65.0.0)

Fork port wave 2: the release-summary entry credits Sina Matian
(time-attack/gstack) and the four absorbed community PRs. TODOS gains
three review-round follow-ups (dual-write E2E, migration runner
re-offer, gbrain-adapter op coverage).

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

* fix(eval-harness): eng-review qid boundary matches the real skill-name prefix

Live qids render as gstack-qid:plan-eng-review-<slug> ({skill}-{slug}
convention); the boundary anchored eng-review- immediately after the
colon and never matched, leaving the batching counter blind while the
transcript showed per-finding questions being asked one by one.

* fix(setup-gbrain): never ask the provider question inside /setup-gbrain

Invoking /setup-gbrain IS the provider choice. Step 1.7 now records
'select gbrain' best-effort and proceeds straight to setup; the offer
ceremony is reserved for entry points where no provider was named. On
machines where the code-intelligence CLI exists, the offer:true path
was hijacking setup into the provider ceremony and the E2E child never
reached MCP registration.

* chore: file the three documented-red periodic tests as structural-repair TODOs

Sidebar trio exercises endpoints removed on every tree; ship-idempotency's
PTY child never receives its typed command; brain-privacy-gate has never
been green anywhere. Each carries its triage receipt in the entry.

* test(e2e): setup-gbrain remote — hermetic env via opts, evidence on failure, output-scoped classifier

Three separate defects stacked on this one test: the ambient
GBRAIN_MCP_TOKEN/GSTACK_HOME/PATH mutations never reached the child
(hermetic-env scrubs them by allowlist — broken since hermetic env
landed; the child correctly stopped at Step 4c with NEEDS_CONTEXT),
failures discarded the in-memory transcript so every triage started
blind, and the wrote-findings-before-asking classifier scanned the full
event stream where the child's own Read of the skill file always
contains the review-report phrase. Env now goes via opts.env, failures
dump bash commands + final text, and the classifier scans assistant
output only. Green in 67s with all seven asserts.

* test: final coverage pass — CLI rendering, revert traps, keychain probe, gbrain doc ops

The user-directed third generation pass closes the audit's remaining
tail: the code-intelligence CLI's options/status/suggest surfaces get
behavioral coverage through the fake-shim chain; brain-context-load
gains an argv-logging trap that goes red if anyone reverts the memoized
PATH scan back to the spawn probe (receipt: simulated revert failed
exactly these tests); the darwin Keychain auth branch (#1890) gets its
first free-tier tests via a PATH-shimmed security binary; and the gbrain
add/delete/export ops are pinned (body piped byte-for-byte, receipt
sha256, stdin-EOF prompt guard, PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE degradation) —
retiring their TODOS entry.

* test: assemble the planted PEM at runtime so the fixture never trips the prepush guard

The repo's own credential guard scans pushed diffs and correctly
blocked these fixtures: the engine flags any one-line BEGIN…END
spelling regardless of body. Header, body, and footer are now joined
at runtime, so the file and every diff of it stay clean while the
scanner under test still receives the true live shape.

* docs: update project documentation for v1.65.0.0

README gains the two wave-2 CLIs (gstack-code-intelligence,
gstack-verify-gate) in the standalone-binaries table, BROWSER.md
documents BROWSE_PERSIST_STATE next to manual state save/load,
CONTRIBUTING's CI section lists the new supply-chain gates, and
CLAUDE.md's project tree reflects lib/code-intelligence/ and the
added workflows.

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

* docs: apply cross-model doc-review fixes for v1.65.0.0

Findings from the release doc review, verified against source:
verify-gate's README row gains the actual install one-liner (setup
never registers the Stop hook; test/verify-gate.test.ts pins that)
and the 3-blocked-re-entries yield behavior; code-intelligence's row
gains the suggest subcommand and the search-side consent gate;
CONTRIBUTING scopes the SHA-pin claim to the supply-chain workflows
and widens the dependency-review trigger; BROWSER.md's restore-time
cookie drop list matches isInternalCookieDomain; CLAUDE.md's
workflows comment stops implying six workflows are all of them.

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

* docs: CHANGELOG accuracy pass — scope the SHA-pin claim, restore-time cookie filter, exact test counts

* test: env restore runs per-test, not per-suite — the leak that failed 30 strangers

gstack-memory-helpers saved HOME/GSTACK_HOME/PATH in beforeEach but
restored in afterAll, so the last beforeEach's snapshot won and a
gstack-test-engine temp dir leaked into every later file in the same
process: gstack-config read the wrong store, make-pdf's child resolved
Chromium under the temp cache, update-check and artifacts-init lost
their real homes. afterAll is now afterEach; the config and
update-check harnesses also strip GSTACK_HOME/GSTACK_STATE_ROOT from
child env as a belt.

* fix(browse): restore the #1846 start-timeout resolution the merge dropped

The v1.64.1.0 merge kept this branch's lock design in cli.ts and
silently lost main's resolveStartTimeout + late health re-check while
their test survived — ported both back in alongside the kept design.

* test: adapt main's diagnostics tests to the merged designs

cli-lock asserts typed ServerLockError (errno + lock path) instead of
the log-and-return shape the merge didn't keep, dropping only the one
duplicate of server-lock-errors coverage; the liveness tripwire exempts
error-handling.ts as the sanctioned tasklist site; snapshot and
compare-board wrappers pass the now-mandatory browser-manager arg;
background.js's test pins that the retired sidebar-command type is
rejected pre-gate with no response fields.

* chore: gitignore the gen-accessors tool's SPM build output

skill-e2e-ios-swift-build compiles the Swift package in place, leaving
.build/ (2,800+ files) and Package.resolved untracked after every
periodic run — the workspace read as ~100 dirty changes with a clean
tree. Same class as the dist/ binaries: build output, never committed.

* test(browse): subprocess budget for the polyfill suite on Windows CI

Every test here spawnSync's a node child; cold-start on the Windows
runner (AV scan, first node.exe touch) blew bun's 5s default by 7ms on
a 50ms sleep test. File-level 20s default — subprocess budget, not
assertion looseness.

* test: make the Darwin migration path and the query-timeout SKIP deterministic on Linux CI

The v1.65 migration suite relied on the host being macOS — on the
ubicloud runner the script's uname gate early-exited every test with
empty output; a Darwin uname shim in the shared setup runs the real
path everywhere (the non-Darwin test still overrides it with Linux).
The 1ms-budget brain-context test assumed 1ms is always too short; the
runner's fake gbrain answered in 0ms and no SKIP printed — the fake now
sleeps 300ms so the timeout is a certainty, while --version stays
instant for the detection assertion.
