82530ac143 v1.91.117.0 fix: pregate bats lanes, WTREE_UNAVAILABLE, doctor rows, SKILL.md size guard, planMode hosts (fix wave PR 5) (#3236)
* fix(pregate): recognise bats test files so lanes does not fail in bats repos (#3161)

gstack-pregate never treated a .bats file as a test, so in a repository whose
tests are bats files the lanes check failed every run with PREGATE_NO_LANE: a
.gstack/pregate.json dependency pointing at tests/foo.bats selected nothing, a
selection manifest printing .bats paths yielded 0 files, and a bats run that
executed no tests could not trip the zero-run rule.

Recognise .bats in the test-file pattern and in the manifest-output parser, and
read the bats TAP plan and pretty summary (as a last resort, after every
existing runner's summary) so a run that reports zero tests is a failure.

Fixes #3161.

Cherry-picked from #3177 (d355c116b). Conflicts resolved as in the author's own
merges (b09476beb, 444f4e768): lane-selection.ts keeps main's isTestFile-based
manifest parser, and lanes.ts carries the bats summary on main's supervised runner.

* test(pregate): a nested .bats file is selected and run end to end (#3161)

Reviewer test for #3177: touched itself with no declaration, and through a
declared dependency; a failing nested bats run reports the bats counts.

* fix(pregate): a wtree failure is WTREE_UNAVAILABLE, not an unresolvable base (#3197)

The pregate consumers of the working-tree fingerprint (buildContext,
withFingerprint, verifyPregate) move to lib/script-invocation.ts's
{tree}|{error} form, and lib/regen.ts drops its string-returning wrapper.

- A fingerprint failure was reported as "policy source unavailable:
  origin/<base> is not a resolvable commit" with git fetch as the fix. It is
  now WTREE_UNAVAILABLE: a launch failure lists each Windows bash candidate
  with its rejection reason and names GSTACK_GIT_BASH; a gstack-wtree exit
  keeps the repair it printed (set TMPDIR to a writable directory).
- A fingerprint failing after a check is incomplete with that cause, not
  "working tree changed"; verify says the tree cannot be fingerprinted.
- #3190's gstack-config read (test_backend) goes through runScriptSync, so
  Windows reaches it through Git Bash. The tripwire learns the bin-constant
  shape that let it through.
- Under --json every context refusal is one envelope on stdout
  ({ok:false,status:'refused',code,detail,fix,docs}, exit 3); the run object
  carries ok and status too, and GSTACK_RESULT goes to stderr.

* ci(pregate): gstack-pregate joins the Windows pregate job; pregate tests return to the Windows lane (#3197)

- windows-pregate-e2e runs gstack-pregate run (preflight: regen, secrets
  through the gstack-redact bun bin, literals, guards) in both journeys, and
  asserts a missing GSTACK_GIT_BASH refuses with one WTREE_UNAVAILABLE --json
  envelope.
- test/helpers/pregate-fixture.ts and restamp-fixture.ts runBin launch bins
  through lib/script-invocation.ts (bun bins as Bun argv, bash bins through
  Git Bash on Windows), which removes the "shebang via CreateProcess" reason
  for the pregate tests; they move from KNOWN_WINDOWS_INCOMPATIBLE to
  KNOWN_WINDOWS_SAFE.

* doctor: list rescue refs and warn about CLAUDE.md skill lists

gstack-doctor's plain report gains two rows. 'rescue refs' lists each
refs/gstack/rescue/* commit in the install checkout, newest first, with its
date, a needs-manual-resolution label when the rescue held unmerged files, and
the shell-quoted inspect and delete commands bin/gstack-ff-update's banner
prints. 'CLAUDE.md' warns when a gstack section in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md or the
project's CLAUDE.md enumerates skills (#3169) and prints the short block to
paste instead; docs/troubleshooting.md#claude-md-skill-list explains it.

* doctor: name the Windows bash gstack resolves and what chose it

On Windows (OSTYPE msys/cygwin) gstack-doctor adds a 'windows bash' row from
lib/script-invocation.ts resolveWindowsBash, run through the new thin
bin/gstack-windows-bash.ts with the bun on PATH: the resolved bash and the
override or discovery step that chose it, a warn when GSTACK_GIT_BASH and
GSTACK_BASH differ, and a fail carrying the BASH_UNAVAILABLE line (every
candidate with its rejection reason) when none qualifies. Tests inject the
platform (GSTACK_DOCTOR_PLATFORM) and the discovery inputs
(GSTACK_DOCTOR_BASH_PROBE) so the row runs on every OS.

* doctor --check: name the held-install recovery on Windows, not bin/gstack-upgrade

bin/gstack-upgrade compares a pwd -P path (/c/...) with git's toplevel
(C:/...) and refuses on every Git Bash install, so on Windows the revision
row's upgrade fix (REVISION_BELOW_MINIMUM, the Capy-wrapper variant and
REVISION_UNMET) names the held-install recovery forms from
docs/troubleshooting.md#auto-update-held-install-recovery instead: the Git
Bash form and the Windows PowerShell 5.1 form, each labelled by shell with the
install path quoted for that shell. Other platforms keep bin/gstack-upgrade.
A test pins both printed forms to the documented ones.

* fix(skills): omit the plan-mode section on hosts without plan mode (#3168)

generatePlanModeInfo now honours capabilities.planMode. Hosts that declare
planMode:false (codex, agy, hermes, openclaw, and define-host's default:
factory, kiro, slate, cursor, gbrain) no longer render the
'## Plan Mode Safe Operations' and '## Skill Invocation During Plan Mode'
preamble sections. Claude, copilot and opencode are unchanged.

The codex, factory and agy ship goldens are regenerated. The clarity test that
pinned the plan-mode entry-order prose on every host now pins it on planMode
hosts and asserts its absence elsewhere (intentional contract change).

* test(skills): guard generated SKILL.md size at 100,000 chars on every host (#3199)

A free test renders every host and fails when a generated SKILL.md exceeds
100,000 characters, naming host, skill, actual size, limit and the fix. The 89
current offenders are pinned at their exact size in
test/fixtures/skill-md-size-allowlist.json: growth past a pin fails, and a
shrink fails until the pin is lowered. The shared-preamble hoist is deferred
(owner Garry, revisit 2026-11-15).

* test(pregate): keep #3177's bats tests beside the nested-directory test

Moves #3177's bats describe block verbatim from test/pregate-selection.test.ts
into test/pregate-bats-nested.test.ts, so pregate-selection.test.ts is
unchanged on this branch and the in-flight field-list-2 pregate lane
(capy/fl2-L6-pregate, which edits that file's imports and adds cases) merges
without a conflict. No assertion changes.

* doctor --check: keep bin/gstack-upgrade as the Windows fix (path spelling fixed on main)

Reverts 37bac07f8. Plan item D named the held-install recovery forms on
Windows only until bin/gstack-upgrade stopped refusing Git Bash installs.
bin/gstack-upgrade:63-67 now compares with gstack_path_same from
bin/gstack-path-spelling.sh, pinned by test/gstack-upgrade-path-spelling.test.ts,
so bin/gstack-upgrade is the right fix on every platform again.

* test(skills): measure the size-guard pins on v1.91.109.0

#3225 (merged into this branch) grew 53 pinned skills: 3 characters each from
the Aside driver resolver, and about 340 more in plan-design-review and
plan-devex-review from the #3219 summary sections. The pins are this PR's
starting measurement, so they are taken on the merged base; no skill this PR
renders grew.

* ci(windows): only the pregate tests that pass on windows-latest join the lane

windows-free-tests run 38984824731 (this branch at 8ed6da402) ran the moved
files. gstack-regen and the new pregate-wtree-refusal passed. pregate-guards,
-remote, -regate, -invalidation, -selection and -bats-nested launched
gstack-pregate fine but fail on Linux-host expectations: their fixture lanes are
Linux workflow jobs, which a Windows host records as requires-remote
obligations. They go back to KNOWN_WINDOWS_INCOMPATIBLE with that reason
instead of "shebang via CreateProcess".

* fix(qa): an invalid-input probe breaks only the rule it tests

The paid gate's qa-functional-cli-report failed again on #3236 (run
39001107574): the agent probed the digits-only amount rule with -5, which
the positivity check rejected first, so the planted parseInt defect stayed
hidden and it reported no defect. The contract map's invalid-input row now
asks for each input to break only the rule it tests, so another check
cannot reject it first.

Functional QA with repository-native tools

Use documented repository commands, CLI/API clients and job/queue tools, not a new harness or browser substitution.

Functional modes

For /qa and /qa-only, within the selected scope:

  • Full (default): cover every applicable documented contract below.
  • Quick (--quick): check success and the highest-risk changed edge; mark other contracts not run.
  • Regression (--regression <previous-report>): before probes, read the supplied functional report and linked replay evidence. A missing, unreadable or wrong-target baseline blocks regression mode. A browser-only baseline.json is not a functional baseline. Re-establish owned setup; replay prior failed probes against the documented expectation, never recorded buggy output, then check changed adjacent behavior. Preserve the prior report; report fixed, still failing and new findings separately. Missing safe replay inputs block affected probes, never count as passes.

Mixed runs apply each surface's mode separately. /review and /ship retain their caller's bounded smoke and explicit plan checks, not Full exploration.

Contract map

Record each contract/source, isolated setup, exact probe, expectation and outcome: pass/fail/blocked/not run/inconclusive/not applicable (reason).

Contract Observe
Successful execution Expected return/output and final business effect, not just launch/acceptance
Invalid/missing input One probe per documented input rule (allowed characters, format, sign, range, arity), each input breaking only that rule so no other check rejects it first: declared rejection, correct status and no forbidden state change
Authentication/authorization Valid identity, missing/invalid identity, wrong owner/role and durable no-effect boundary
CLI process contract Exact exit code, stdout and stderr separately; resulting file/state changes
State transitions Initial, intermediate and completed/failed states and their permitted transitions
Timeout/cancellation Deadline, partial state, termination of owned work and recovery
Retry Attempts/backoff/terminal state promised by the repository; no unbounded retry
Duplicates/idempotency Repeated request/event and number of durable effects under the documented guarantee
Concurrency/order Controlled competing operations in both relevant completion orders; final invariant
Partial-failure recovery Interrupt after an effect, restart/replay, inspect completion/dead-letter state and duplicates

Do not impose universal exactly-once delivery. Separate acceptance, enqueue, processing, retry/dead-letter and final effect; 2xx is not completion. Expected rejection/injected failure may pass; a missing service preventing execution blocks coverage.

Execute and retain evidence

  1. Apply the shared isolation/permission preflight. Verify cwd, command, environment NAMES and safe reset; use synthetic data/credentials.
  2. Follow the shared exploratory loop's order and written checkpoints. For every probe, inspect initial/final durable state and retain exit/status and stdout/stderr separately without masking failure.
  3. On timeout, retain partial output/state and stop only owned work. Record setup errors and untested contracts; never patch product code to hide missing prerequisites.
  4. Record exact command or method/path/headers/body, setup/reset, expected contract/source, observed output/state, revision/runtime, evidence paths and limits. Secrets are referenced only by environment name. Disclose replay limits caused by redaction.
  5. Use templates/functional-report-template.md relative to the installed QA SKILL.md. Preserve evidence before owned cleanup and disclose leftovers. Return to the caller without expanding discovery authority.
