* feat: retire /investigate after a no-gain eval (GST-1717)
Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix(skill-start): core routing offer drops every non-core rule line (GST-1717)
The retired /investigate rule became 'Bugs/errors → fix them directly', which no
longer matches '→ invoke /', so proactive=core leaked it into the offered section.
Match any '- … → ' rule line.

* revert(review): keep review/checklist.md at its no-loss-pinned bytes (GST-1717)
The pin names replay GSTA-224 H1; a reviewer checklist edit merges only after a
passing no-loss replay (crew rule 15). The /investigate flake line stays until a
replayed repin.

* test: repair free-suite fallout from retiring /investigate (GST-1717)
CI run 42340956269 at 83a8a9a: drop fixtures, ledger rows, allowlist entries and
counts for the retired skill and its deleted paid files; record the harness
change as non-behavioral; the test-of-test detector accepts path.join(ROOT, 'bin');
uncovered-prompt fixtures use a tracked prompt, since an untracked path now
reads as a deleted one.

* fix(relink): back up a retired skill's real SKILL.md before cleaning it (GST-1717)
With the skill's source gone, the customized-file check never ran, so a
banner-carrying local copy of investigate/SKILL.md was deleted instead of moved
to the backup root (red-team review, pass 1).

* fix(qm): restore the review checklist's flake-line rewrite (GST-1717)
review/checklist.md keeps its pinned /investigate line, so the QM edition needs
its replaceText rule back; qm/ stays fresh against the generator.

* docs(changelog): name the setup flag break, the relink backup and the pinned checklist line (GST-1717)
Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix(setup,relink): back up a retired skill's real SKILL.md instead of deleting it (GST-1717)
Scoped fix round under grant a-360dd62bd46a (outside-voice blocking finding and
adversarial #1, #4). setup's prune compares a copied host entry with the render
before removing that render, and backs up a copy that differs or whose render is
gone; relink no longer takes the marker's rm -rf for a skill whose source is
gone, so a real SKILL.md is backed up and the user's files stay. setup reports a
failed remove-source of the retired gate hooks on stderr.

* fix(pr-profile): a changed prompt counts as deleted only when it is gone from disk (GST-1717)
An untracked prompt file on disk still needs prompt validation (targeted review
finding); harness change recorded as non-behavioral.

* docs(changelog): exact backup wording, the hook-removal warning and GST-1744 (GST-1717)
Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix(setup): one backup folder per host for a retired skill's copies (GST-1717)
Under grant a-c95576b8b1f9 (fix-check#1): every copy host moved its
gstack-investigate/SKILL.md to the same backup path, so a later host's copy
overwrote an earlier host's edits. A sandboxed ./setup --host factory run showed
gen-skill-docs removes the retired render before the prune, so every real copy
is backed up; each host now gets its own folder.

Co-authored-by: capy-ai[bot] <230910855+capy-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
* test(retired-skills): name plan-eng-review once behind a pregate-literal waiver (GST-1717)
pregate's literals check read the GSTACK_RETIRED_SKILLS change as an old
value still in the tests. plan-eng-review is still retired; investigate was
appended. The fixture names it once, with the waiver.

Third-Party Notices
gstack is MIT. The files below contain material derived from Apache-2.0 and MIT
works, rewritten in gstack's voice and modified. Rewriting is not an exemption:
the license texts are in licenses/, and each file derived from an Apache-2.0
work carries a notice that it was changed. Unmodified copies (the rule-registry fixture, the
license text) carry no header and are listed here instead.
impeccable — Copyright Paul Bakaus — Apache License 2.0
https://github.com/pbakaus/impeccable
Derived, modified:
lib/design-catalog.ts: rule ids and names fromcrates/live/assets/antipatterns.json; the prose is gstack's.scripts/resolvers/design.ts: the Persuade / Operate / Read / Experience visitor modes, the craft-floor reflexes (browser surfaces, one authored motion moment, depth has an offset, tinted secondary text, space above headings, light-or-dark from the use scene), and the three-looks calibration, fromSKILL.md,reference/craft-floor.md, andreference/new-work.md, rewritten.design-consultation/sections/proposal-and-preview.md.tmpl: the font-selection procedure and the calibration paragraph, rewritten; and theSKILL.md/sections/*.mdfiles generated from these sources.
Unmodified copy:
test/fixtures/impeccable-antipatterns.json:crates/live/assets/antipatterns.jsonat commit 87d8f6d6 (engine-v0.1.3), wrapped in a_sourceprovenance object.
Not distributed: bin/gstack-design-detect.ts invokes an impeccable engine the
user installed. gstack does not ship or mirror that engine and never runs impeccable's
installer or launcher. The one download gstack can make is the engine binary
itself, only after the user accepts a design skill's one-time offer: fetched from
impeccable's own GitHub release into ~/.impeccable/bin/<version>/, verified
against the checksum pinned in lib/design-detect-contract.ts, and recorded in
the egress ledger first. gstack does not audit the engine's network behavior; the
wrapper refuses URL targets so gstack never asks it to touch the network.

https://github.com/google-labs-code/design.md
lib/design-md.ts, bin/gstack-design-md.ts, and the Phase 6 template in

spec order, {path} token references). No specification text is reproduced.

Adapted, not vendored: the levels table, the five-step edit ladder and the size-budget rule in
write-skill/SKILL.md.tmpl, and the full-diet procedure in write-skill/references/diet.md,
rewritten for gstack's templates, carved sections, bins and ratchet tests. The before/after/none
scoring rules in docs/designs/SKILL_EVAL_CONTRACT.md follow skill-diet's scripts/eval.mjs.
tstack — Copyright Theo Browne — MIT License
https://github.com/t3dotgg/tstack (skills/sol-loop, at 7de017b3). Ideas, not text: the
three-word severity glossary (blocker, should, nit) and the two stop rules (a review that
grew the diff cuts first; the end of the budget is not approval) in
ship/sections/review-army.md.tmpl, review/checklist.md and docs/review-policy.md
are written in gstack's words and mapped onto gstack's blocking floor. No sentence is copied,
so no license text is carried; this entry is a courtesy.
Also ideas, not text (skills/modernize, skills/leaving-pr-comments, skills/full-send,
agents/openai.yaml, at 7de017b3): the MODERNIZE / REWORK / CLOSE verdict names in
modernize/SKILL.md.tmpl, the > [!NOTE] author callout behind gstack-post --attribute, the
three-bullet unattended grant in docs/unattended.md, and a per-skill Codex default_prompt;
all written fresh in gstack's words.
Design port (skills/babysit-pr/scripts/pr-wait, at 7de017b3; license text:
licenses/MIT-tstack.txt): bin/gstack-pr-wait, lib/pr-wait.ts and
lib/pr-wait-github.ts follow pr-wait's design (one stdout line per real event,
--until green|ready|any-change, exit 0/1/2, required checks from rulesets and
classic protection, two identical polls before green, the base-moved-and-touches-

TypeScript on gstack's bun shebang, state root, result codes and config keys;
no Python line is carried. Each file names the source in its header.
pstack — Copyright Lauren Tan — MIT License
https://github.com/cursor/plugins (pstack/skills/interrogate, lead-judgment.md). Ideas,
not text: the lead-judgment filters applied before a merged review finding counts (nit
gravity, hypothetical versus actual, structure for a case that does not exist, a different
design is not a defect, missing context; independent agreement as the strongest signal;
NO FINDINGS as a correct result) in scripts/resolvers/review-army.ts stage 4 and
docs/review-policy.md are written in gstack's words. No sentence is copied, so no license
text is carried; this entry is a courtesy.
Also ideas, not text, from pstack/skills/blast-radius, recall, benchmark-checklist,
architect (references/design-red-flags.md) and principle-attack-the-premise
(Garry, 2026-10-26: "Do it, send"): the one safety fact and the five-rung evidence ladder in
/ship's Blast radius PR section (ship/sections/pr-body.md.tmpl); the transcript-mining fallback and its status-tagged brief in
context-restore/sections/transcripts.md.tmpl; the seven questions in
benchmark/sections/vet-the-number.md.tmpl; the second-shape comparison and the eight
design red flags in Section 1 of plan-eng-review/sections/review-sections.md.tmpl; and the generated
SKILL.md / sections/*.md files. Each section names its source in a first-line comment.
Written in gstack's words; no sentence is copied, so no license text is carried.
Also ideas, not text, from pstack/skills/principle-*, poteto-mode and its eval playbook: ETHOS.md principles 5 to 8, the observable-questions rule in plan-tune/SKILL.md.tmpl and docs/proactive.md, the blinding rules in eval-plan/SKILL.md.tmpl and docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md, and the limiter sentence in AGENTS.md step 4 (GSTA-124).
