Garry TanandClaude Fable 5.1 444f8feff8 fix: pre-landing review fixes for the Aside-first branch
Review army + adversarial passes (Claude and Codex) on the merged branch:

setup
- _prune_stale_generated scans the host dirs too (the generator already
  removed the render before setup ran, so the host branch was dead), skips
  symlinks in the render tree (rm -rf on a slash-terminated link empties its
  target), removes a host symlink only when it resolves into gstack, cleans a
  bannered real dir through _cleanup_weak_dir, recognizes frontmatter-renamed
  skills, and logs through log. The always-run codex render passes every host
  dir that may link to it.
- NEEDS_BUILD checks all three binaries (with $_EXE) and lib/ sources; the
  browser hint and the bootstrap summary honor GSTACK_SKIP_ASIDE, treat a
  requested skip as a request, and derive one skill list.

lib/aside-render.ts + bin/gstack-render.ts
- The loopback server carries a per-render secret path, checks containment on
  the real path (symlink escapes are 403), and rejects malformed encoding.
- Inline eval results are one base64 line, so page text cannot forge
  ASIDE_DIR= or the sentinel; the last ASIDE_DIR wins.
- runProc escalates SIGTERM to SIGKILL, bounds every wait, and clears every
  timer (an uncleared one kept gstack-render alive after printing OK).
- renderTmpDir refuses a shared /tmp name owned by someone else; the work dir
  and server are created inside try; goto's budget follows the render budget.
- probeAside classifies a present-but-failing CLI as ASIDE_NOT_RUNNING like
  the skills' bash probe; render() retries on gstack's own browser when Aside
  could not start or its private CDP bridge is gone (never on a page error
  or a timeout of a running script); the CLI reports the engine that actually
  rendered, exits 0 on --help, rejects non-numeric flags, documents
  --wait-timeout, fences EVAL/PAGE_ERRORS as untrusted content, and names the
  daemon's cookie-import JS lock remedy.
- The browse path passes --scale only when asked (a scale change rebuilds
  the daemon context) and restores the viewport after a sized screenshot.

resolvers / templates
- The bash probe honors GSTACK_SKIP_ASIDE and has a perl deadline on stock
  macOS; .local is no longer LOCAL (mDNS); same-origin filters compare parsed
  origins; link status is HEAD-checked only on LOCAL targets; every
  aside exec goes through the receipted _aside_exec prelude
  ({{ASIDE_EXEC_PRELUDE}}), including nine template blocks that called it
  bare; the design sketch and diagram staging use private directories.
- The generator prunes only bannered renders and never a host whose
  generation failed.

Docs, stale comments and dead code cleaned; goldens re-rendered; tests
updated and added for every behavior above.

# gstack — AI Engineering Workflow
gstack is a collection of SKILL.md files that give AI agents structured roles for
software development. Each skill is a specialist: CEO reviewer, eng manager,
designer, QA lead, release engineer, debugger, and more.
## Available skills
Skills live in `.agents/skills/` (or `~/.claude/skills/gstack/` on Claude Code).
Invoke them by name (e.g., `/office-hours`).
### Plan-mode reviews
| Skill | What it does |
|-------|-------------|
| `/office-hours` | Start here. Reframes your product idea before you write code. |
| `/plan-ceo-review` | CEO-level review: find the 10-star product in the request. |
| `/plan-eng-review` | Lock architecture, data flow, edge cases, and tests. |
| `/plan-design-review` | Rate each design dimension 0-10, explain what a 10 looks like. |
| `/plan-devex-review` | DX-mode review: TTHW, magical moments, friction points, persona traces. |
| `/plan-tune` | Self-tune AskUserQuestion sensitivity per question. |
| `/autoplan` | One command runs CEO → design → DX → eng review (eng always last). |
| `/design-consultation` | Build a complete design system from scratch. |
| `/spec` | Turn vague intent into a precise, executable spec in five phases. Files a GitHub issue, optionally spawns a Claude Code agent in a fresh worktree, and lets `/ship` close the source issue on merge. |
### Implementation + review
| Skill | What it does |
|-------|-------------|
| `/review` | Pre-landing PR review. Finds bugs that pass CI but break in prod. |
| `/codex` | Second opinion via OpenAI Codex. Review, challenge, or consult modes. |
| `/investigate` | Systematic root-cause debugging. No fixes without investigation. |
| `/design-review` | Live-site visual audit + fix loop with atomic commits. |
| `/design-shotgun` | Generate multiple AI design variants, comparison board, iterate. |
| `/design-html` | Generate production-quality Pretext-native HTML/CSS. |
| `/devex-review` | Live developer experience audit (TTHW measured against the real flow). |
| `/qa` | Open a real browser, find bugs, fix them, re-verify. |
| `/qa-only` | Same methodology as /qa but report only — no code changes. |
| `/scrape` | Pull data from a web page in your Aside browser, with your real logged-in state. Read-only. On the fallback browser a codified browser-skill answers a repeat intent in ~200ms. |
| `/skillify` | Codify the most recent successful `/scrape` flow into a permanent browser-skill (fallback browser only). |
### Release + deploy
| Skill | What it does |
|-------|-------------|
| `/ship` | Run tests, review, push, open PR. Workspace-aware version queue. |
| `/land-and-deploy` | Merge the PR, wait for CI and deploy, verify production health. |
| `/canary` | Post-deploy monitoring loop in your Aside browser (or gstack's own when Aside is absent). |
| `/landing-report` | Read-only dashboard for the workspace-aware ship queue. |
| `/document-release` | Update all docs to match what you just shipped. |
| `/document-generate` | Generate Diataxis docs (tutorial / how-to / reference / explanation) from code. |
| `/setup-deploy` | One-time deploy config detection (Fly.io, Render, Vercel, etc.). |
| `/gstack-upgrade` | Update gstack to the latest version. |
### Operational + memory
| Skill | What it does |
|-------|-------------|
| `/context-save` | Save working context (git state, decisions, remaining work). |
| `/context-restore` | Resume from a saved context, even across Conductor workspaces. |
| `/learn` | Manage what gstack learned across sessions. |
| `/retro` | Weekly retro with per-person breakdowns and shipping streaks. |
| `/health` | Code quality dashboard (type checker, linter, tests, dead code). |
| `/benchmark` | Performance regression detection (page load, Core Web Vitals). |
| `/benchmark-models` | Cross-model benchmark for skills (Claude, GPT, Gemini side-by-side). |
| `/cso` | OWASP Top 10 + STRIDE security audit. |
| `/setup-gbrain` | Set up gbrain for cross-machine session memory sync. |
| `/sync-gbrain` | Keep gbrain current with this repo's code; refresh agent search guidance in CLAUDE.md. |
### Browser + agent integration
Every browser skill drives the Aside AI browser first (macOS 15+, aside.com) —
the user's real browser with their real sessions, through `aside repl` scripts;
gstack never installs it. When Aside is not installed or not running (Linux,
Windows, a closed Aside app) the same skills fall back automatically to gstack's
own headless Chromium (`$B`), which is where the three skills under `/browse` apply.
| Skill | What it does |
|-------|-------------|
| `/browse` | Drive a browser: open a page, read it, click through a flow, screenshots, console errors. Aside first; gstack's own Chromium (~100ms/command) as the fallback. Every other browser skill stands on it. |
| `/open-gstack-browser` | Launch the visible GStack Browser with sidebar + stealth — the headed face of the fallback engine. |
| `/setup-browser-cookies` | Import cookies from your real browser into the fallback engine for authenticated testing. Unnecessary on Aside. |
| `/pair-agent` | Pair a remote AI agent (OpenClaw, Codex, etc.) with gstack's own browser over a scoped tunnel. |
### iOS QA — drive real iPhones over USB or Tailscale (v1.43.0.0+)
| Skill | What it does |
|-------|-------------|
| `/ios-qa` | Live-device iOS QA via USB CoreDevice tunnel + embedded StateServer. Optionally exposes the device over Tailscale so remote agents can drive it. |
| `/ios-fix` | Autonomous iOS bug fixer with regression snapshot capture. |
| `/ios-design-review` | Designer's-eye QA on a real iPhone — 10-dimension Apple HIG rubric. |
| `/ios-clean` | Convenience: strip DebugBridge + #if DEBUG wiring before a Release build. |
| `/ios-sync` | Regenerate the iOS debug bridge against the latest upstream templates. |
Companion CLIs (run on the Mac that's plugged into the device):
| Command | What it does |
|---------|-------------|
| `gstack-ios-qa-daemon` | Mac-side broker. Loopback by default; `--tailnet` adds a Tailscale-facing listener with capability tiers and audit logging. |
| `gstack-ios-qa-mint` | Owner-grant CLI for the tailnet allowlist (`grant`/`revoke`/`list`). |
| `gstack-ios-qa-regen` | Regenerate the canonical local DebugBridge package and typed accessors (`--app-source` / `--bridge-dir`). |
End-to-end walkthrough: [docs/howto-ios-testing-with-gstack.md](docs/howto-ios-testing-with-gstack.md).
### Safety + scoping
| Skill | What it does |
|-------|-------------|
| `/careful` | Warn before destructive commands (rm -rf, DROP TABLE, force-push). |
| `/freeze` | Lock edits to one directory. Hard block, not just a warning. |
| `/guard` | Activate both careful + freeze at once. |
| `/unfreeze` | Remove directory edit restrictions. |
| `/make-pdf` | Turn any markdown file into a publication-quality PDF. Renders through Aside, or gstack's own browser when Aside is absent. |
| `/diagram` | English in, diagram out: mermaid source + editable .excalidraw + SVG/PNG, offline. Renders through Aside, or gstack's own browser when Aside is absent. |
## Build commands
```bash
bun install # install dependencies
bun run test # run free tests via the strict shard runner (no API spend, ~90-100s)
bun run test:windows # curated Windows-safe subset (runs on windows-latest)
bun run build # generate docs + compile binaries
bun run gen:skill-docs # regenerate SKILL.md files from templates
bun run skill:check # health dashboard for all skills
```
## Platform support
- **macOS** + **Linux**: full test suite supported.
- **Windows**: curated Windows-safe subset runs on `windows-latest` via the
`windows-free-tests` CI job. Setup script (`./setup`) requires Git Bash or
MSYS today; native PowerShell support is a future expansion. The `bin/gstack-paths`
helper resolves state roots through `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA` / `GSTACK_HOME` so plugin
installs work on every platform.
- **Browser and renderer**: the browser skills, `/make-pdf`, and `/diagram` drive
the Aside browser first, which is macOS 15+ only. On Linux and Windows (or a
Mac with Aside closed) the readiness check says so once and the same skills use
gstack's own bundled browser, built by `./setup`.
## Key conventions
- SKILL.md files are **generated** from `.tmpl` templates. Edit the template, not the output.
- Run `bun run gen:skill-docs --host codex` to regenerate Codex-specific output.
- Browser steps in skills are `aside repl` scripts per `scripts/resolvers/aside.ts` (Aside first), each with a `$B` equivalent for the fallback engine — `$B <command>` is the browse binary and is a legitimate tool when the Aside probe does not print `READY`. Local HTML renders through `bin/gstack-render.ts`, which picks the same way.
- Safety skills (careful, freeze, guard) use inline advisory prose — always confirm before destructive operations.
- State paths resolve via `bin/gstack-paths` (sourced via `eval "$(...)"`). Honors `GSTACK_HOME`, `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA`, `CLAUDE_PLANS_DIR`.
- The `claude` CLI binary resolves via `lib/claude-bin.ts` (re-exported from `browse/src/claude-bin.ts` for browse internals; `Bun.which()` + `GSTACK_CLAUDE_BIN` override). Set `GSTACK_CLAUDE_BIN=wsl` plus `GSTACK_CLAUDE_BIN_ARGS='["claude"]'` to run Claude through WSL on Windows.
