Garry Tan 9a424a9f55 test: apply ship review-army findings — helper extract, slice SKILL.md, defensive judge
Five categories of fixes surfaced by the /ship pre-landing reviews
(testing + maintainability + security + performance + adversarial Claude),
applied as one review-iteration commit.

Refactor — collapse 5x duplicated judge-assertion block:
- Add assertRecommendationQuality() + RECOMMENDATION_SUBSTANCE_THRESHOLD
  constant to test/helpers/e2e-helpers.ts.
- Plan-format (4 cases) and Phase 4 (1 case) collapse from ~22 lines each
  to a single helper call. Future rubric tweaks land in one place instead
  of five.

Performance — extract Phase 4 slice instead of copying full SKILL.md:
- Phase 4 test fixture now reads office-hours/SKILL.md and writes only the
  AskUserQuestion Format section + Phase 4 section to the tmpdir, per
  CLAUDE.md "extract, don't copy" rule. Verified locally: cost dropped
  from $0.51 → $0.36/run, turn count 8 → 4, latency 50s → 36s. Reduces
  Opus context bloat without weakening the regression check.
- Add `if (!workDir) return` guard to Phase 4 afterAll cleanup so a
  skipped describe block doesn't silently fs.rmSync(undefined) under the
  empty catch.

Defense — judge prompt + output:
- Wrap captured AskUserQuestion text in clearly delimited UNTRUSTED_CONTEXT
  block with explicit instruction to treat its content as data, not commands.
  Cheap defense against the (unlikely but real) injection vector where a
  captured AskUserQuestion contains "Ignore previous instructions" text.
- Bump captured-text budget from 4000 → 8000 chars; real plan-format menus
  with 4 options × ~800 chars exceed 4000 and were silently truncating
  Haiku context mid-option.

Cleanup — abbreviation rule + dead imports + touchfile consistency:
- AUQ → AskUserQuestion in 3 sites (office-hours/SKILL.md.tmpl Phase 4
  footer, two test comments) per the always-write-in-full memory rule.
  Regenerated office-hours/SKILL.md.
- Drop unused `describe`/`test` imports in 2 new test files (only
  describeIfSelected/testConcurrentIfSelected wrappers are used).
- Add `test/skill-e2e-office-hours-phase4.test.ts` to its own touchfile
  entry for consistency with other entries that include their test file.
- Fix misleading comment in fixture test about LLM short-circuiting (it's
  has_because, not commits, that skips the API call).

Verified: build clean, free `bun test` exits 0, fixture test 30/30
expect() calls pass, Phase 4 paid eval passes substance 5 in 36s.

/**
* AskUserQuestion format regression test for /plan-ceo-review and /plan-eng-review.
*
* Context: a user on Opus 4.7 reported the RECOMMENDATION line and the
* `Completeness: N/10` per-option score stopped appearing on AskUserQuestion
* prompts. This test captures the agent's AskUserQuestion output verbatim
* and asserts the format rule is applied.
*
* Capture shape: `claude -p` sessions inside this harness do not have the
* AskUserQuestion MCP tool wired. We instruct the agent to write the verbatim
* AskUserQuestion text it would have made to $OUT_FILE instead of calling
* any tool. Assertions read that file.
*
* Coverage-vs-kind split: the format rule says to include `Completeness: N/10`
* only when options differ in coverage. When options differ in kind (mode
* selection, posture choice, cherry-pick Add/Defer/Skip), the score is
* intentionally absent and a one-line note explains why. Assertions split
* accordingly.

## Context
We're building a new user dashboard that shows recent activity, notifications, and quick actions.
## Changes
1. New React component \`UserDashboard\` in \`src/components/\`
2. REST API endpoint \`GET /api/dashboard\` returning user stats
3. PostgreSQL query for activity aggregation
4. Redis cache layer for dashboard data (5min TTL)
## Architecture
- Frontend: React + TailwindCSS
- Backend: Express.js REST API
- Database: PostgreSQL with existing user/activity tables
- Cache: Redis for dashboard aggregates
