#!/usr/bin/env bash
# gstack-config — read/write ~/.gstack/config.yaml
#
# Usage:
#   gstack-config get <key>          — read a config value (falls back to DEFAULTS)
#   gstack-config set <key> <value>  — write a config value
#   gstack-config list               — show all config (values + defaults)
#   gstack-config defaults           — show just the defaults table
#
# Env overrides (for testing):
#   GSTACK_STATE_ROOT — override ~/.gstack state directory (highest priority,
#                       matches D16 cathedral isolation convention)
#   GSTACK_HOME       — override ~/.gstack state directory (aligns with writer scripts)
#   GSTACK_STATE_DIR  — legacy alias for GSTACK_HOME (kept for backwards compat)

# ─── Behavior ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# proactive: true           # Auto-invoke skills when your request matches one.
#                           # Set to false to only run skills you type explicitly.
#
# routing_declined: false   # Set to true to skip the CLAUDE.md routing injection
#                           # prompt. Set back to false to be asked again.
#
# ─── Telemetry ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# telemetry: off            # off | anonymous | community
#                           #   off       — no data sent, no local analytics (default)
#                           #   anonymous — counter only, no device ID
#                           #   community — usage data + stable device ID
#
# ─── Updates ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# auto_upgrade: false       # true = silently upgrade on session start
# update_check: true        # false = suppress version check notifications
#
# ─── Skill naming ────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# skill_prefix: false       # true = namespace skills as /gstack-qa, /gstack-ship
#                           # false = short names /qa, /ship
#
# ─── Checkpoint ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# checkpoint_mode: explicit # explicit | continuous
#                           #   explicit   — commit only when you run /ship or /checkpoint
#                           #   continuous — auto-commit after each significant change
#                           #                with WIP: prefix + [gstack-context] body
#
# checkpoint_push: false    # true = push WIP commits to remote as you go
#                           # false = keep WIP commits local only (default)
#                           # Pushing can trigger CI/deploy hooks — opt in carefully.
#
# ─── Writing style (V1) ──────────────────────────────────────────────
# explain_level: default    # default = jargon-glossed, outcome-framed prose
#                           #           (V1 default — more accessible for everyone)
#                           # terse   = V0 prose style, no glosses, no outcome-framing layer

# artifacts_sync_mode: off  # off | artifacts-only | full
#                           #   off            — no sync (default)

#
# ─── Plan-tune hooks ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
# plan_tune_hooks: prompt   # Controls whether ./setup installs the plan-tune
#                           #   Claude Code hooks (PostToolUse capture +
#                           #   PreToolUse preference enforcement).
#                           #   prompt — ask on a real TTY, skip otherwise (default)
#                           #   yes    — install non-interactively
#                           #   no     — skip non-interactively
#                           # Override per-run: ./setup --plan-tune-hooks /
#                           #   --no-plan-tune-hooks, or env GSTACK_PLAN_TUNE_HOOKS.
#
# ─── Advanced ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# codex_reviews: enabled    # Master switch for Codex cross-model review. enabled =
#                           #   Codex runs as a standard step in /review, /ship,
#                           #   /document-release, plan reviews, and /autoplan (auto

#                           #   not authenticated). disabled = skip all Codex passes.
#                           #   Asymmetry on disabled: diff-review (/review, /ship) still
#                           #   runs the free Claude adversarial subagent; plan-review and

#                           #   An invalid value is REJECTED (existing value preserved) so
#                           #   a typo cannot silently turn paid Codex calls on or off.
# gstack_contributor: false # true = file field reports when gstack misbehaves
# skip_eng_review: false    # true = skip eng review gate in /ship (not recommended)
