Garry Tan 3e3843c4a9 feat: contributor mode, session awareness, recommendation format (#90)
* feat: contributor mode, session awareness, universal RECOMMENDATION format

- Rename {{UPDATE_CHECK}} → {{PREAMBLE}} across all 10 skill templates
- Add session tracking (touch ~/.gstack/sessions/$PPID, count active sessions)
- ELI16 mode when 3+ concurrent sessions detected (re-ground user on context)
- Contributor mode: auto-file field reports to ~/.gstack/contributor-logs/
- Universal AskUserQuestion format: context → question → RECOMMENDATION → options
- Update plan-ceo-review and plan-eng-review to reference preamble baseline
- Add vendored symlink awareness section to CLAUDE.md
- Rewrite CONTRIBUTING.md with contributor workflow and cross-project testing
- Add tests for contributor mode and session awareness in generated output
- Add E2E eval for contributor mode report filing

* feat: add Enum & Value Completeness to /review critical checklist

New CRITICAL review category that traces new enum values, status strings,
and type constants through every consumer outside the diff. Catches the
class of bugs where a new value is added but not handled in all switch/case
chains, allowlists, or frontend-backend contracts.

* chore: bump v0.4.1, user-facing changelog, update qa-only template and architecture docs

* docs: add CHANGELOG style guide — user-facing, sell the feature

* feat: add evals for RECOMMENDATION format, session awareness, and enum completeness

Free tests (Tier 1): RECOMMENDATION format + session awareness in all
preamble SKILL.md files, enum completeness checklist structure and CRITICAL
classification.

E2E eval: /review catches missed enum handlers when a new status value
is added but not handled in case/switch and notify methods.

* feat: add E2E eval for session awareness ELI16 mode

Stubs _SESSIONS=4, gives agent a decision point on feature/add-payments
branch, verifies the output re-grounds the user with project, branch,
context, and RECOMMENDATION — the ELI16 mode behavior for 3+ sessions.

* fix: contributor mode eval marked FAIL due to expected browse error

The test intentionally runs a nonexistent binary to trigger contributor
mode. The session runner's browse error detection catches "no such file
or directory...browse" and sets browseErrors, causing recordE2E to mark
passed=false. Override passed to check only exitReason since the browse
error is the expected scenario.

# gstack development
## Commands
```bash
bun install # install dependencies
bun test # run free tests (browse + snapshot + skill validation)
bun run test:evals # run paid evals: LLM judge + E2E (~$4/run)
bun run test:e2e # run E2E tests only (~$3.85/run)
bun run dev <cmd> # run CLI in dev mode, e.g. bun run dev goto https://example.com
bun run build # gen docs + compile binaries
bun run gen:skill-docs # regenerate SKILL.md files from templates
bun run skill:check # health dashboard for all skills
bun run dev:skill # watch mode: auto-regen + validate on change
bun run eval:list # list all eval runs from ~/.gstack-dev/evals/
bun run eval:compare # compare two eval runs (auto-picks most recent)
bun run eval:summary # aggregate stats across all eval runs
```
`test:evals` requires `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`. E2E tests stream progress in real-time
(tool-by-tool via `--output-format stream-json --verbose`). Results are persisted
to `~/.gstack-dev/evals/` with auto-comparison against the previous run.

```
## SKILL.md workflow
SKILL.md files are **generated** from `.tmpl` templates. To update docs:
1. Edit the `.tmpl` file (e.g. `SKILL.md.tmpl` or `browse/SKILL.md.tmpl`)
2. Run `bun run gen:skill-docs` (or `bun run build` which does it automatically)
3. Commit both the `.tmpl` and generated `.md` files
To add a new browse command: add it to `browse/src/commands.ts` and rebuild.
To add a snapshot flag: add it to `SNAPSHOT_FLAGS` in `browse/src/snapshot.ts` and rebuild.
## Browser interaction
When you need to interact with a browser (QA, dogfooding, cookie setup), use the
`/browse` skill or run the browse binary directly via `$B <command>`. NEVER use
`mcp__claude-in-chrome__*` tools — they are slow, unreliable, and not what this
project uses.
## Vendored symlink awareness
When developing gstack, `.claude/skills/gstack` may be a symlink back to this
working directory (gitignored). This means skill changes are **live immediately**
great for rapid iteration, risky during big refactors where half-written skills
could break other Claude Code sessions using gstack concurrently.
**Check once per session:** Run `ls -la .claude/skills/gstack` to see if it's a
symlink or a real copy. If it's a symlink to your working directory, be aware that:
- Template changes + `bun run gen:skill-docs` immediately affect all gstack invocations
- Breaking changes to SKILL.md.tmpl files can break concurrent gstack sessions
- During large refactors, remove the symlink (`rm .claude/skills/gstack`) so the
global install at `~/.claude/skills/gstack/` is used instead
**For plan reviews:** When reviewing plans that modify skill templates or the
gen-skill-docs pipeline, consider whether the changes should be tested in isolation
before going live (especially if the user is actively using gstack in other windows).
## CHANGELOG style
CHANGELOG.md is **for users**, not contributors. Write it like product release notes:
- Lead with what the user can now **do** that they couldn't before. Sell the feature.
- Use plain language, not implementation details. "You can now..." not "Refactored the..."
- Put contributor/internal changes in a separate "For contributors" section at the bottom.
- Every entry should make someone think "oh nice, I want to try that."
- No jargon: say "every question now tells you which project and branch you're in" not
"AskUserQuestion format standardized across skill templates via preamble resolver."
## Deploying to the active skill
The active skill lives at `~/.claude/skills/gstack/`. After making changes:
1. Push your branch
2. Fetch and reset in the skill directory: `cd ~/.claude/skills/gstack && git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/main`
3. Rebuild: `cd ~/.claude/skills/gstack && bun run build`
Or copy the binary directly: `cp browse/dist/browse ~/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse`
