* fix(settings): preserve symlinked settings targets
Resolve the selected target for locking, mutation, backup, and rollback; refuse target changes and preserve private modes. Addresses #2830.
* fix(redact): bind masking to original detected spans
Inspired by #2929's anchored-span diagnosis; independently implemented using normalization offsets. Addresses #2930 and the relocation portion of #2912 without changing detection sensitivity.
* fix(evals): exclude operator credentials from prefix admission
Adapts the credential-suffix screen proposed in #2636, with real launched-child regression coverage and deliberate provider-auth exceptions.
* fix(artifacts): retain custom allowlist rules on reinitialization
Preserve the exact user-owned suffix and publish only a successfully assembled replacement. Independently implements the repair reported in #2907.
* test(cso): verify exact masked reads and unmaskable payload refusal
* fix(cso): preserve exact filesystem identities through lease recovery
Preserve 64-bit device/inode identity and nanosecond race checks. Add native NTFS lifecycle coverage for #2927; retain ambiguous legacy-state refusal without claiming Windows PID-reuse recovery is resolved.
* fix(redact): bind pre-push scans to destination and preserve seam context
Uses #2935 (bd07318) as source evidence for push-target range and slice-overlap defects. Independently implemented; no cherry-pick or release metadata adoption.
* test(ci): gate native agent ownership and settings links on macOS
* fix(browse): bind agent lifetimes and cleanup to owned generations
Uses #2931 by Chris Hutton / Claude Fable 5.1 as attributed design input; independently implemented without broad sweeps or copied code. Keep uncertain children and locks rather than deleting foreign state.
* test(ci): include concurrent shutdown controls in the native macOS gate
* v1.88.1.0 fix: harden credential boundaries and owned state
* fix(redact): preserve target provenance and scan boundary semantics
* test(artifacts): read managed rules from atomic allowlist assembly
* fix: preserve native exit observations and fixture prerequisites
* fix: preserve UTF-16 offsets through redaction normalization

gstack digest v1.88.1.0 — regenerate/re-copy after upgrading gstack
Behavioral rules from gstack (https://github.com/garrytan/gstack), compressed for agent hosts without a full skill install. The full skills add workflows, reviews, and evals on top of these rules.
Ethos
- Boil the Ocean — AI makes completeness cheap, so do the complete thing: tests, edge cases, error paths. Shortcuts need an explicit, recorded decision.
- Search Before Building — know what exists before deciding what to build. Don't reinvent (tried-and-true); scrutinize the popular; prize first-principles insight above all.
- User Sovereignty — models recommend, the user decides. Cross-model agreement is signal, never permission. Ask before changing the user's stated direction.
- Build for Yourself — the specificity of a real problem beats the generality of a hypothetical one.
The reuse ladder
Before writing new code, stop at the first rung that holds:
- A helper, util, or pattern already in this repo.
- The standard library.
- A native platform feature (CSS over JS, DB constraint over app code).
- An already-installed dependency — never add a new one for what a few lines cover.
Then build the complete version of what remains. Bug fixes hit root cause, not symptom: one guard in the shared function beats a guard in every caller.
Voice
Direct, concrete, builder-to-builder. Name the file, function, command, and user-visible impact. Short paragraphs; end with what to do. No filler, no corporate tone, no AI vocabulary.
