v1.64.0.0 fix wave: full tracker audit — 90 fixes, 52 issues closed, ~50 community PRs absorbed (#2571)
* fix(hooks): nest freeze/careful permissionDecision under hookSpecificOutput

Claude Code ignores a top-level permissionDecision, so the /freeze deny and
/careful ask guards silently allowed everything. Nest both under
hookSpecificOutput with permissionDecisionReason, update the shape-blind
tests to pin the nested form, and document the constraint in both skill
templates (regen included).

Closes half of #1459 (freeze enforcement chain).

dedicated team-init fix).

* fix(team-init): required-mode hook blocks with nested schema + exit 2

The generated check-gstack.sh emitted a flat permissionDecision payload and
exited 0, which Claude Code ignores — required mode enforced nothing. The
generated hook now nests the deny under hookSpecificOutput and exits 2 so
the block holds even if the JSON schema drifts again. Adds a temp-repo
regression test that runs the generated hook under both installed and
missing-gstack homes.

Fixes #2413, #2296.

* fix(careful): close three check-careful bypasses via real JSON extraction

The grep-based command extractor stopped at the first escaped quote, so any
quoted argument truncated the command before the pattern checks ran —
`git commit -m "wip" && rm -rf /` was silently allowed. Replace it with a
python3/node JSON parse that fails CLOSED on unreadable payloads, add an
IFS/base64-to-shell obfuscation tripwire, and stop multi-line commands from
riding the single-line safe-exception whitelist (line-based grep would have
approved `rm -rf /` when a later line matched node_modules — a hazard the
real newline decoding exposed).

Contributed by @wtamminga (PR #2426; the -R hunk was dropped — it landed in
v1.61.0.0 — and output shapes updated to the nested hookSpecificOutput form).

* fix(review,autoplan): require explicit run_in_background: false on specialist agents

Claude Code v2.1.198 made subagents run in the background by default, which
inverted the old "do not use the flag" guidance: review-army specialists and
autoplan dual voices silently launched in the background and the merge step
could proceed before they completed — regressing the #497 fix. The generated
guidance now instructs an explicit run_in_background: false, and a static
tripwire fails the free suite if the inert inverted phrasing ever returns to
any generated SKILL.md.

Fixes #2440.

* fix(investigate): anchor the scope-lock freeze hook on $HOME, not CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR

The investigate skill's PreToolUse hooks and Scope Lock probe resolved
check-freeze.sh via ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}, which does not exist when
frontmatter hooks run — the || exit 0 tail then failed open, so the debug
scope boundary silently never engaged (#1871 follow-up). Anchor all four
sites on $HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/ like careful/freeze, and add a static
test asserting no frontmatter command: line in the guard-family skills ever
references CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR again.

Fixes #2469; closes the last live half of #1459 together with the
freeze/careful hookSpecificOutput fix. The broader portable-install-root
rewrite stays #1882 (its own focused PR per the TODOS.md decision).

Reported with a fix by @maxpetrusenkoagent (PR #1873; absorbed narrowly —
the cwd-walk rewrite belongs to #1882).

* fix(redact): scan large diffs in line-aligned slices; stop digit-UUIDs matching as cards/phones

The prepush guard blocked any push whose added lines exceeded the engine's
1 MiB cap with engine.input_too_large — a size error naming no credential —
which trains people onto GSTACK_REDACT_PREPUSH=skip. Scan in 768 KiB
line-aligned slices instead (no pattern is multi-line, so a boundary cannot
bisect a secret); a single oversized line still goes to the engine intact and
fails closed. Also suppress card/phone matches whose span sits ENTIRELY
inside a UUID — digit-only UUID fixtures were 14 of 21 MEDIUM findings on an
ordinary branch, the noise level that stops people reading MEDIUM at all.

Fixes #2304.

* fix(redact-prepush): resolve the real push base instead of EMPTY_TREE whole-repo scans

When the remote default branch is not main/master (or origin/HEAD is unset),
the merge-base guess failed and the hook fell back to scanning the ENTIRE
repository as added lines — re-attributing long-pushed secrets to the
current push and, on any real repo, tripping the engine byte cap so the push
blocked having scanned nothing. Derive the base from commits reachable from
no remote-tracking branch, keep the empty-tree path only for genuinely fresh
repos, and split the block message so an unscannable diff is reported as
"could not scan (fail closed)" rather than "credential found — rotate it".

* fix(redact-prepush): preserve the trailing newline handed to chained pre-push.local

The chaining wrapper captured stdin with $(cat), which strips the trailing
newline — a chained shell hook built on `while read` then never entered its
loop for the final (usually only) ref line and exited 0, failing OPEN. Use
the printf-x sentinel so the byte-exact input reaches the chained hook, with
tests covering both the pass-through and the short-circuit paths.

* fix(redact-prepush): close the ext-diff, header-lookalike, and ref-parse bypasses

Three ways the pushed diff escaped scanning: (1) a user-level diff.external
or textconv driver replaced the diff with its own output — zero '+' lines,
so the scan saw nothing (now --no-ext-diff --no-textconv); (2) an added
content line whose text begins with "++" renders as "+++…" and the blanket
header skip dropped it (now hunk-aware header detection); (3) a pre-push
ref line that failed to parse was silently skipped, leaving that ref
unscanned (now fails closed with the offending line named).

Minimal reimplementation of the two confirmed bypasses from PR #2498 by
@lubosxyz (the full PR overlaps the chunked-scan work absorbed separately),
plus the unparseable-ref hardening.

* fix(pair-agent): keep the ngrok authtoken out of the transcript and shell argv

The not-authed flow told the user to paste their ngrok authtoken into the
chat so the agent could run `ngrok config add-authtoken` — putting a live
credential in the transcript, tool-call argv, and anything the transcript
syncs to. The user now runs the auth command in their own terminal; the
agent only verifies via `ngrok config check`, and a pasted token triggers a
rotate-and-reauth instruction. A static test pins that no agent-run bash
fence ever contains add-authtoken again.

Fixes #2335.

* fix(update-check): crash emits CHECK_FAILED instead of reading as up-to-date

gstack-update-check signals "up to date" with SILENCE, and it runs under
set -e — so any unguarded mid-script failure exited quietly and was
indistinguishable from a current install. Observed live as a 45-release
silent-staleness incident. An ERR trap (with -E so it propagates into
functions) now emits a CHECK_FAILED sentinel naming the line and status,
and exits 0 so caller `|| true` guards can't eat it. Behavioral tests cover
both the crash and the healthy-silent paths; egress-receipt wiring is
untouched and still pinned by test/egress-receipt-wiring.test.ts.

Fixes #1974. (#2378's HEAD-SHA staleness half was already fixed on main by
the ls-remote + SHA-pinned VERSION resolution — close as already-fixed.)

* fix(deps): bump diff 7.0.0 → 9.0.0 (GHSA-73rr-hh4g-fpgx parsePatch DoS)

The advisory affects diff 6.x–8.0.2. The only API this repo uses is
Diff.diffLines (browse/src/snapshot.ts:571, browse/src/meta-commands.ts:728),

* ci(evals): skip eval jobs deterministically on fork PRs

Fork PRs never receive repository secrets, so every API-calling eval failed
at SDK auth — but only when Docker-cache luck let the jobs start at all,
making fork PRs randomly red or grey. Skip the eval and report jobs
explicitly for fork-origin PRs, keep the image BUILD (validates
Dockerfile.ci changes) without the push a fork token can't perform, and
leave full coverage for same-repo PRs, pushes, and dispatches.

* fix(extension): deny token/port reads to content-script and foreign senders

background.js answered getPort — port, connected state, AND the browse
server auth token — to any sender that passed the type allowlist,
including content scripts running in web-page context and, behind only
the sender.id check, anything without extension-page provenance. The
getToken sender.tab restriction covered getToken alone, and only after
getPort had already handed out the token.

Single decision point now: extension/sender-auth.js classifies each
message type; the eight privileged types (getPort, setPort, getServerUrl,
getToken, fetchRefs, command, sidebar-command, getTabState) require an
own-extension-page sender (chrome-extension://<own id>/ URL, no
sender.tab, own sender.id). Denied senders get { error: 'unauthorized' }
and nothing else — never the token, never the port. Content-script flows
(elementPicked, pickerCancelled, inspectResult, openSidePanel) are
untouched, and the sidepanel/popup keep the getPort token field their
connect path reads. The policy mirrors the v1.63 server-side model:
AUTH_TOKEN is released only to the pinned extension Origin via
POST /extension-token, so the extension must not re-leak it to contexts
the server would never have trusted.

browse/test/extension-sender-auth.test.ts drives the real background.js
onMessage listener under a chrome stub with four sender shapes (own
extension page, own content script, foreign extension id, missing
sender.url) and pins that denied responses carry no token/port fields,
that a denied setPort never persists, that a denied command never
reaches the network, and that the inspector + tab-state flows keep
working. The helper is loaded via importScripts in the classic service
worker and require()-able from bun tests.

* test(update-check): fixture links gstack-egress-lib.sh — all 38 tests failed on main

v1.63.0.0 made bin/gstack-update-check source bin/gstack-egress-lib.sh
unconditionally, but the test fixture's GSTACK_DIR only linked gstack-config
— every test died at the source line (0/38 pass on pristine main,
verified). The suite-truncation bug hid it: the runner was killed by an
earlier file's delayed process.exit before this file ran. Link the lib like
the real install layout the script assumes.

* fix(browse): capture active-tab state before close() — last-tab auto-create raced the close event

closeTab checked `tabId === this.activeTabId` AFTER awaiting page.close(),
but the page 'close' event handler can fire during that await and reassign
activeTabId — losing the race meant the last-tab auto-create never ran,
leaving the manager with zero tabs. Capture wasActive before closing, and
only reassign activeTabId when it no longer points at a live tab.

* test(browse): delete the orphaned sidebar chat-queue suite; align sidebar-ux/tabs with the PTY-only sidebar

browse/test/sidebar-integration.test.ts tested the /sidebar-command queue
path ripped in v1.14 (34 references to removed endpoints — 11 permanent
failures masked by suite truncation). sidebar-ux.test.ts carried 73 failures
pinning the same dead surface (pickSidebarModel, ANALYSIS_WORDS); the trim
keeps its 108 live tests, including the background.js token/allowlist gates.
sidebar-tabs gets the two matching expectation updates.

* test(browse): align dual-listener and terminal-agent static guards with the current source

Two static-grep guards pinned superseded source shapes and failed once the
suite actually ran them: the tunnel dispatch gate is args-aware since the
--out disk-write ban (canDispatchOverTunnel takes command AND args), and
lazy PTY spawn routes through the maybeSpawnPty helper since v1.44. The
updated assertions pin the current, stricter shapes (open() never spawns;
the helper is the only spawnClaude caller).

* fix(test): remove all 8 delayed process.exit teardown bombs — the tier-1 gate can finally fail

bun test runs every file in ONE process, so a 500ms setTimeout(process.exit(0))
armed in afterAll fired mid-way through a LATER file and killed the entire
suite with exit 0 and no summary — only ~16 of 434 files ran, and every
downstream failure was invisible (observed live throughout this wave's
enumeration). Changes, all guarded by fault injection:

- Replace every delayed-exit teardown with a time-boxed close of the file's
  own browser (8 files across browse/ and design/); stub the daemon
  /shutdown timer instead of letting its unconditional process.exit tear
  the runner down.
- test/no-suicide-exit.test.ts: static tripwire — no *.test.ts may schedule
  a delayed process.exit again.
- test/exit-propagation.test.ts + fixtures: fault injection with REAL bun
  output proves the truncation shape (exit 0, no summary) and that
  scripts/test-free-shards.ts now detects it: a shard exiting 0 WITHOUT
  bun's final summary line is treated as FAILED (exit code alone is not
  evidence of completion).
- handoff: the three headed-mode integration tests are darwin-skipped with
  a pointer to the known macOS headed-launch breakage (#2242/#2554); they
  keep running on Linux CI. Un-skip in the browse-daemon wave.
- feedback-roundtrip: repair the handler call sites unmasked by the fix —
  handlers take (command, args, session, bm); passing the manager where a
  session belongs broke all six tests.
- user-slug-fallback: HOME isolation makes endpoint_hash deterministic.

Fixes #2421, #2435.

* test: include design/test/ in the free suite and the sharded runner

design/test was absent from both the package.json test globs and TEST_ROOTS

* fix(make-pdf): reject directories when resolving the browse binary

access(X_OK) is true for directories (they carry the execute/traverse
bit on POSIX and pass the Windows existence check too), so cwd-dependent
resolution could pick the ~/.claude/skills/browse alias DIRECTORY as the
browse binary. Every browse call then exited 4 with empty stderr, which
make-pdf surfaced as "Chromium failed to launch" against a perfectly
healthy Chromium (#2156). Guard isExecutable with statSync().isFile()

* fix(make-pdf): write browse-bound temp files under the safe-dirs allowlist

os.tmpdir() on macOS resolves to /var/folders/..., which fails browse's
safe-dirs validation ([/tmp, cwd]) since the v1.6.0.0 --from-file
tightening. Default PDF output (generate with no -o), the preview HTML,
tmpFile() scratch files, and setup's smoke-test fixture/output all wrote
there, so browse rejected the paths it was asked to read or write.
Export PAYLOAD_TMP_DIR from browseClient (the existing TEMP_DIR
convention: os.tmpdir() on Windows, /tmp elsewhere) and route
orchestrator.ts and setup.ts temp files through it.

* fix(make-pdf): stop URLs swallowing smartypants placeholders

A bare autolinked URL (<a href="X">X</a>) has zero whitespace between
the URL text and its own closing tag. TAG_RE carves that </a> into a
NUL-delimited SMARTPANTS_PRESERVED placeholder BEFORE the URL pass
runs, and URL_RE's \S+ swallowed the adjacent placeholder into the URL
match. The restore pass is single-shot, so the inner placeholder never
restored: raw "SMARTPANTS_PRESERVED_N" text leaked into the rendered
link, the </a> vanished, and link-blue styling bled into the rest of
the document (#2084). Excluding the NUL sentinel (\u0000) from the URL
character class stops the match from crossing into an already-carved
zone.

* fix(make-pdf): no blank first page when content precedes the first H1

Two paths put invisible content ahead of the first H1 and cost users a
blank page 1 (#1904):

- A visually-empty preamble (leading <style> block, HTML comment)
  became its own .chapter. That section took the `.chapter:first-of-type
  { break-before: auto }` exception, so the first real chapter inherited
  `break-before: page` and started on page 2. Non-rendering preambles
  now fold into the first real chapter (markup preserved, no page
  break); real text preambles keep their own chapter.
- Leading YAML frontmatter rendered as a literal paragraph of body text
  on its own first page (marked has no frontmatter awareness). It is
  now stripped before parsing; a `---` thematic break elsewhere is
  untouched.

* fix(browse): allow about:blank so a restarted daemon can initialise

The daemon opens its own first tab on about:blank, so blocking it in
validateNavigationUrl meant a restarted daemon could never recreate the
blank tab it starts from — and `browse newtab about:blank`, which
`make-pdf setup` runs as its Chromium smoke test, failed and surfaced
as "Chromium failed to launch" against a healthy browser.

Allow about:blank ONLY, never the about: scheme: about:blank has no
origin, loads nothing and runs nothing, while about:config and friends
are real surfaces. Exact href match (lower-cased, since the URL parser
normalises the protocol but not the opaque part), so about:blankfoo
stays blocked.

* fix(design): drop gpt-image-2 tool model that 400s under the gpt-4o orchestrator

The Responses API rejects pairing a gpt-4o orchestrator with an
image_generation tool spec'd as model: "gpt-image-2" (400
invalid_request_error), which took every design image call offline —
generate, variants, iterate (both threaded and fresh paths), evolve,
and /design-shotgun (#1771). gpt-image-2 is only valid under a gpt-5
orchestrator; with gpt-4o the tool must omit the model field (defaults
to gpt-image-1).

Remove the model field at all five call sites and add a static-grep
tripwire test (design/test/image-gen-pairing.test.ts) that fails CI if
any design/src module reintroduces the gpt-4o + gpt-image-2 pairing.
Re-enabling gpt-image-2 later requires bumping the orchestrator off
gpt-4o in the same diff, which the tripwire permits.

* fix(memory-ingest): stop silently ingesting 0 pages — include gitignored staging, reconcile counts

Pages stage into ~/.gstack/.staging-ingest-*/ inside a repo whose .gitignore
is `*`, and gbrain import honours .gitignore — so it collected 0 files,
imported nothing, and the ingest still reported "written: N" from the STAGED
count while advancing state, meaning no future run ever retried. Three
layers now: (1) pass --include-gitignored (root cause); (2) if the installed
gbrain predates the flag, retry without it (subcommand --help is generic, so
the attempt is the only probe) with an upgrade pointer; (3) reconcile
gbrain's imported+unchanged accounting against the staged count and REFUSE
to advance state on a shortfall, naming the gitignore collision.

* fix(session-update): un-wedge auto-upgrade — autostash over local patches, log the pull's real reason

On a normal install the tracked files ARE locally patched (skill-prefix
name rewrites, gbrain-refresh blocks), so the bare `git pull --ff-only`
refused on every run and auto-upgrade froze forever — observed as 308
consecutive PULL_FAILED entries with the reason discarded by 2>/dev/null.
Pull now runs --autostash (local patches ride over the update and pop back),
stderr is captured into the log so a genuine failure names its cause, an
autostash pop conflict recovers to a clean tree and re-renders the patches
(gstack-patch-names + gbrain-refresh, both idempotent), and a successful
pull re-renders them as a self-heal. Behavioral tests cover the wedge shape
and the reason logging.

bun's 5s default is fine for a file run solo, but the monolithic free suite

* fix(question-log): parse native AskUserQuestion answers — every native answer logged as __unknown__

Current Claude Code returns AskUserQuestion results as an OBJECT map keyed
by question text ({answers: {question: label}}); the hook only handled the
legacy array shapes, so 86% of live records carried user_choice __unknown__
— and the bin then scored every one as followed_recommendation false,
silently poisoning plan-tune metrics. Adds the object-map extraction (exact
+ whitespace-normalized + single-question pairing, multiSelect joins,
annotations as free_text), strips the (Recommended) suffix from BOTH sides
of the comparison, skips the computation entirely on extraction failure,
and logs unrecognized shapes to hook-errors.log instead of embedding them
in the record.

* fix(slug): resolve the project root by marker walk-up — subdirectory sessions stop misfiling state

gstack-slug derived everything from pwd, so a session in a subdirectory got
the subdir's basename as its slug (or an outer monorepo's remote), misfiling
reviews/decisions/learnings under a phantom project — and the per-pwd cache
made the wrong answer permanent. The resolver now walks up from pwd:
outermost STRONG marker wins (.git, package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml,
Gemfile, go.mod, .project.yaml), weak content markers (README, LICENSE) catch
non-code project folders, deploy artifacts are deliberately not markers, and
GSTACK_PROJECT_SLUG remains the escape hatch. The cache self-heals on
mismatch. Main-side invariants preserved on top: the unconditional
[a-zA-Z0-9._-] re-sanitize before echo and slash→dash branch canonicalization.

extensionless bash scripts directly (unrunnable without a shell association)

no-op'd on Windows, and /plan-tune collected no data. A single spawn-bin.ts

* fix(windows): grant icacls ACEs by *SID, not unqualified username

An unqualified username handed to icacls is ambiguous: on a machine whose
hostname equals the username (a common Windows setup), it resolves to the
MACHINE account instead of the user. Combined with /inheritance:r, that
leaves ~/.gstack with a single ACE matching nobody — the process that just
"secured" the directory locks itself out, and icacls still reports success.

Both icacls sites in the repo (restrictFilePermissions and
restrictDirectoryPermissions in browse/src/file-permissions.ts — the only
icacls call sites; setup has none) now grant via icacls' literal-SID form
`*<SID>`, resolved once per process from System32\whoami.exe (pinned to
System32 because a bare `whoami` under a bash-flavoured PATH picks up the
MSYS build, which rejects /user). Fallback when the SID can't be resolved
is the domain-qualified `USERDOMAIN\username` name, which is unambiguous
where the bare username was not.

Windows-only regression tests assert the hardened directory stays usable
by the calling process (readdir + write), which is exactly the check that
a not-toThrow assertion sailed past before.

* fix(windows): forward windowsHide through the bun-polyfill spawn shims

windowsHide is the one spawn option where Node's default is the opposite
of Bun's: Node shows the child's console window, Bun.spawn hides it.
The polyfill's spawn and spawnSync shims dropped the option entirely, so
the Node fallback path (dist/bun-polyfill.cjs) silently inverted the
behavior on the one platform the shim exists to serve — every watchdog
respawn of the terminal agent popped a visible bun.exe console window.

Three sites fixed:
- Bun.spawnSync shim: forwards windowsHide with Bun-matching default true
- Bun.spawn shim: same (stdio:'ignore' silences output but does NOT
  suppress the console window on Windows)
- spawnTerminalAgent in terminal-agent-control.ts: explicit
  windowsHide: true, so the Node fallback path behaves like Bun-native

An explicit windowsHide: false is honored at both shims. Three focused
tests pin the default-true, default-true-sync, and explicit-false paths
by intercepting child_process in a subprocess; the test file's require
path now uses forward slashes so it survives interpolation into a JS
string literal on Windows.

Supersedes PRs #2523, #2294 and #2290, which each covered a subset of
these sites.

* fix(watchdog): signal-0 liveness, tick-scaled respawn guard, windowsHide

Three-bug chain behind the Windows terminal-agent leak (console window
strobing every 60s, one orphaned agent per watchdog tick until the box
ran out of committable memory):

1. isProcessAlive shelled out to `tasklist /FI "PID eq <pid>"` on Windows
   with a 3s timeout. A Bun.spawnSync that hits its timeout still RETURNS
   with partial stdout, so the `.includes()` PID match read a LIVE agent
   as dead — killAgentByRecord skipped the kill, the watchdog respawned
   around the survivor, and every orphan slowed the next tasklist enough
   to produce the next false negative. Now: `process.kill(pid, 0)` on
   every platform (Node and Bun both map signal 0 to an OpenProcess
   existence check on Windows), with EPERM counted as alive. No
   subprocess, no timeout, no console window.

2. The respawn circuit-breaker was mathematically unreachable — verified
   in this tree: RESPAWN_GUARD_WINDOW_MS was a fixed 60_000 against a
   60_000ms default tick, and each tick pushes at most one respawn
   timestamp, so three pushes span ~120s and can never coexist inside a
   60s window (eviction is strict `>`, and setInterval drift plus
   per-tick work always ages the prior entry past the boundary). The
   guard could not fire at the default tick rate and a steady
   one-per-tick leak ran unbounded. The window now scales with the tick:
   max(60_000, tick * (RESPAWN_GUARD_MAX + 2)), so "3 crashes in quick
   succession → stop" holds at any tick value.

3. The tasklist probe popped a visible console per tick (no windowsHide).
   Removing the shell-out kills that site; the agent-spawn site itself
   already passes windowsHide: true (landed with the bun-polyfill
   windowsHide commit — PR #2414's terminal-agent-control.ts hunk is
   reconciled there rather than duplicated).

New browse/test/process-liveness-windows.test.ts pins all three: no
subprocess from the probe, a static tripwire against reintroducing
`tasklist` + `PID eq` liveness checks in src/, the spawnTerminalAgent
windowsHide + stdio contract, and the window-derived-from-tick
arithmetic. terminal-agent-watchdog.test.ts test 4 now pins the
window/tick relationship instead of the fixed literal that let this
ship. Also converts `new URL(import.meta.url).pathname` to
`import.meta.path` across the static-grep tests it touches — the
pathname form yields /C:/... on Windows and breaks path.resolve.

* fix(terminal-agent): tie agent lifetime to its owning browse server PID

The terminal agent is intentionally detached so it survives the
short-lived CLI launcher, but its real owner is the persistent browse
server. If that server crashed or was killed before running normal
shutdown, the agent was adopted by PID 1 and lived forever (#2019).

spawnTerminalAgent now requires an ownerPid and exports it to the agent
as BROWSE_OWNER_PID; all three spawn sites pass the server PID (cli.ts
cold-start, cli.ts supervisor respawn, server.ts watchdog). The agent
polls the owner with signal 0 every 15s (GSTACK_TERMINAL_OWNER_WATCHDOG_MS
to tune) on an unref'd timer and, when the owner disappears, exits
through the SAME cleanup path as an intentional SIGTERM shutdown — now
re-entrancy-guarded and also removing the terminal-internal-token file
alongside the port file and agent record.

Runtime test spawns a real agent tied to a throwaway owner process,
kills the owner, and asserts the agent exits and its discovery files
(terminal-agent-pid, terminal-port) are gone.

Reconciled with the watchdog commit's spawnTerminalAgent contract test
(process-liveness-windows.test.ts now passes ownerPid and pins the
BROWSE_OWNER_PID env forwarding).

Closes #2019.

* fix(windows): give the bun-polyfill spawn shim a real `exited` promise

Bun.spawn exposes `proc.exited` as a Promise resolving to the exit code.
The Node fallback shim (dist/bun-polyfill.cjs) returned no such field, so
every `await proc.exited` on the Windows path resolved instantly to
undefined — the Windows cookie picker (cookie-import-browser.ts races
proc.exited at three sites) read stdout before the child produced it and
silent-failed; browser-skill-commands and terminal-agent hit the same
class.

The shim now:
- drains stdout/stderr eagerly into capped in-memory buffers (Node's
  Readables are pull-based; without draining, a child writing past the
  OS pipe buffer blocks in write() and 'exit' never fires), replaying
  them as fresh single-shot Web ReadableStreams so reads work before or
  after awaiting exit;
- caps the buffer at 16 MB (GSTACK_SPAWN_MAX_BUFFER to override), still
  draining past the cap so a runaway child can't wedge or OOM;
- resolves `exited` with Bun-matching codes (exit code, 128+signal, 1 on
  spawn error) after both pipes finish, and resolves on 'error' too —
  Node fires 'error' without 'exit' when the binary is missing, which
  otherwise hangs the await forever.

Six tests pin exit codes, the read-after-exit ordering, spawn-failure
resolution, the buffer cap, and the large-output drain. Adapted to the
current test file (require path goes through the requirePath variable
from the windowsHide commit), and the 1 MB drain test's child now exits
in the write callback — on modern Node a pipe write past the OS buffer
is async and process.exit() straight after write() truncates at ~64 KB
even with a live reader, which fails the test for reasons unrelated to
the shim.

* fix(setup): BROWSE_BIN carries the .exe suffix on Windows

On Windows, `bun build --compile` emits browse.exe, but setup's
BROWSE_BIN pointed at the suffixless path — so the post-build gate
(`[ ! -x "$BROWSE_BIN" ]` → "browse binary missing") could never pass on
Windows even after a fully successful build, while the build step itself
reported success. Closes #2291.

Applied the PR's override after the IS_WINDOWS detection, and also to
the second BROWSE_BIN assignment the PR predates: the direct-Codex-
install migration path re-derives BROWSE_BIN from the migrated dir and
would otherwise drop the suffix again on Windows.

* fix(setup): link lib/ beside bin/ at all five host-install sites

bin/ scripts import shared modules via ../lib (gstack-learnings-log →
lib/jsonl-store.ts is the reported case), so any runtime root that
exposes bin/ without lib/ breaks 13 bin/ commands — learnings-log,
decision-log, telemetry and friends fail with "Cannot find module
.../lib/jsonl-store.ts" on every non-Claude install, silently from the
skills' perspective.

All five host-install sites now carry lib/ next to bin/, each through
the existing _link_or_copy helper (never raw ln — the static invariant
in test/setup-windows-fallback.test.ts enforces this):

- .agents sidecar (create_agents_sidecar asset loop)
- Codex runtime root (create_codex_runtime_root)
- Factory runtime root (create_factory_runtime_root)
- OpenCode runtime root (create_opencode_runtime_root)
- Kiro install block

New test/setup-runtime-lib-command.test.ts executes the real setup shell
for each root in a sandbox (both the symlink branch and the Windows copy
branch of _link_or_copy) and runs gstack-learnings-log end-to-end from
the installed root, asserting the learning lands in
~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/learnings.jsonl — plus a negative control
proving a bin-without-lib root fails exactly the way the bug report did.
gen-skill-docs.test.ts's setup-validation block pins the lib link at
every site. Cross-checked against PRs #2433, #2410 and #2198: all three
cover subsets of these sites; nothing they fix is missing here.

* fix(setup): ship supabase/config.sh with every host runtime root

Distinct from the lib/-beside-bin/ defect: gstack-telemetry-sync,
gstack-update-check, gstack-security-dashboard and
gstack-community-dashboard all source $GSTACK_DIR/supabase/config.sh to
resolve GSTACK_SUPABASE_URL, where GSTACK_DIR is the installed root
(parent of bin/). The [ -f ... ] guard means a root without the file
degrades SILENTLY — telemetry and update checks just stop resolving the
project URL on non-Claude installs. Closes #2215.

setup now links supabase/config.sh (file-level on purpose — migrations/
and functions/ are dev-only) via _link_or_copy at all five host-install
sites: the PR's four (Codex, Factory, OpenCode runtime roots + the Kiro
block) plus the .agents sidecar, whose bin/ resolves the same relative
path and which the PR predates covering.

The runtime-root test now asserts supabase/config.sh is present in
every built root, on both the symlink and Windows-copy branches.

* ci(windows): curate the fix-wave regression tests into the windows-latest run

The windows-free-tests curated set is derived (POSIX-fragility regex scan
+ explicit deny list), and two of this wave's Windows regression files
were auto-excluded on false-positive pattern hits:

- browse/test/file-permissions.test.ts tripped the POSIX-mode-bitmask
  pattern, but every `mode & 0o777` assertion is platform-guarded — and
  the file carries the win32-only icacls-by-SID regression tests, which
  can only ever execute on windows-latest.
- browse/test/terminal-agent-owner-watchdog.test.ts tripped the
  spawn(['bun','run',...]) pattern whose reason is the Playwright-bound
  browse server; it actually spawns terminal-agent.ts (fs/path/crypto +
  local helpers only, no Playwright at module scope), and the owner-PID
  orphan leak it pins was reported on Windows (#2019).

Adds a KNOWN_WINDOWS_SAFE force-include list (mirror of
KNOWN_WINDOWS_INCOMPATIBLE, each entry carrying its false-positive
rationale) consulted before the pattern scan, and makes the
owner-watchdog test's throwaway owner process Windows-portable
(process.execPath instead of `sleep`, which a bare runner may not have).

The wave's other new files need no wiring: process-liveness-windows and
the bun-polyfill windowsHide/exited tests pass curation automatically;
setup-runtime-lib-command self-skips on win32 by design (its Windows
branch is exercised by simulating IS_WINDOWS=1 under bash), so
force-including it would add a permanently-skipped file.

* fix(mktemp): move the X-run to the end of every temp-file template (BSD/busybox safe)

BSD mktemp (macOS) does not substitute an X-run that has a suffix after it:
`mktemp "$TMP_ROOT/codex-err-XXXXXX.txt"` creates a LITERAL
codex-err-XXXXXX.txt on the first call (exit 0) and every later call fails
with `mkstemp failed: File exists` — so /codex breaks from the SECOND run on
every Mac, masquerading as a model stall. busybox mktemp (Alpine) rejects the
template on the first run. Fixes #2091, #2370.

Union of both community fixes, compared at the diff level:
- PR #2372: all 11 source sites with a suffix after the X-run — codex
  SKILL.md.tmpl (5), claude SKILL.md.tmpl (3), bin/gstack-developer-profile
  (2, suffix folded into the prefix: .json.tmp.XXXXXX), and the office-hours
  codex pass in scripts/resolvers/review.ts (1).
- PR #2103: the second half of #2091 — bin/gstack-paths now strips the
  trailing slash from TMP_ROOT at the source (macOS $TMPDIR ends in `/`),
  plus runtime tests pinning that normalization.

New repo-wide tripwire in test/regression-issue2091-bsd-mktemp.test.ts:
every .tmpl, every SKILL.md, and every scripts/resolvers/*.ts is swept —
no mktemp template may carry a suffix after the X-run, with a self-test so
the detector can't be quietly blinded. Generated SKILL.md files regenerated

* fix(codex,review,ship): scope codex review with an explicit --base flag, never prompt text

`codex review` takes its scope ONLY from --base/--commit/--uncommitted. The
positional [PROMPT] is mutually exclusive with all three, and a prompt-only
`codex review "<text>"` silently falls back to the uncommitted working-tree
scope (verified on 0.144.1: it runs `git status --short; git diff` and
reviews that) — so the previous prompt-based scoping produced a
confidently-worded review of the WRONG changes and read "no changes" on a
clean tree. Every diff pass now invokes `codex review --base <base>` with no
prompt argument: /codex Step 2A default path, the /review structured pass,
and the /ship adversarial-section pass (all via scripts/resolvers/review.ts).

Custom review instructions keep their own `codex exec` path (the CLI rejects
prompt + scope flag together), with the filesystem boundary preserved there.
Two new Error Handling entries teach the failure shapes: the argv-parse
error, and the "review says no changes on a branch full of changes" symptom.

Tests updated to pin the new invariant instead of banning the fix: the old
assertions required the diff range in prompt text and banned the
`--base <base> -c '...'` substring, which the correct scoped form contains.
Also deletes test/fixtures/golden-ship-claude.md — a 2,565-line orphaned
fixture referenced by zero tests (the live goldens are in
test/fixtures/golden/, compared by test/host-config.test.ts); the factory
golden is refreshed from the regenerated output. Generated SKILL.md files

* fix(review,ship): run the codex diff passes under the timeout wrapper (#1036)

The `_gstack_codex_timeout_wrapper` added in #1056 was wired into
codex/SKILL.md but never into the /review and /ship diff passes, which kept
running under a bare 5-minute Bash gate. An unwrapped stall returns no exit
code and no output, which downstream reads as "Codex reviewed and found
nothing" — a truncated pass silently became a clean bill. Measured on
codex-cli 0.145.0: a pass was killed at 287s of a 300s budget mid-tool-call,
and the same prompt completed in 336s.

Both passes in scripts/resolvers/review.ts (adversarial `codex exec` and the
structured `codex review --base` pass) now re-source gstack-codex-probe and
run under `_gstack_codex_timeout_wrapper 540`, with the Bash tool gate raised
to 600000 ms so the wrapper fires FIRST and a stall surfaces as a diagnosable
exit 124. The timeout guidance now says a timed-out pass is MISSING COVERAGE,
not a clean result, and points at the run's rollout log under
~/.codex/sessions/ for partial output. The stale "timeout doesn't exist on
macOS" claim is gone — the wrapper resolves gtimeout, then timeout, then runs
unwrapped, so it is safe without coreutils.

Static guards in test/codex-hardening.test.ts pin all three sites (resolver,
review/SKILL.md, ship/sections/adversarial.md): both calls wrapped, wrapper
budget strictly under the Bash gate, and no reappearance of the macOS claim
that steered these call sites away from the wrapper in the first place. The
Claude-output path guard in test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts now scrubs
~/.codex/sessions/ (a user-facing Codex CLI path, same class as the
~/.codex/logs/ exemption) before banning Codex host paths. Generated files
regenerated via gen:skill-docs; factory golden refreshed.

* fix(codex): sandbox the review path, fail the gate closed, order timeouts wrapper-first

Closes #2496, #2524, #2477 — three defects in the class "a guard that
reports success while doing nothing", all in codex/SKILL.md.tmpl:

(a) Review sandbox. The default `codex review` path was the only codex call
with no sandbox override, inheriting ~/.codex/config.toml's default — write
access on a trusted project — while Important Rules claimed read-only.
Top-level `codex review` has no -s/--sandbox flag (verified on 0.147.0), so
the invocation now pins `-c 'sandbox_mode="read-only"'`, the same form the
consult-resume path already uses.

(b) Fail-closed verdict gate. The old rule ("no [P1] found → PASS") could
not fail on the default path: native `codex review` output carries no
bracketed tags, and a non-zero exit, expired auth, timeout, or empty result
also contains no [P1] — all read as PASS. The gate is now an ordered,
fail-closed check: non-zero exit → FAIL; empty output → FAIL; [P0]/[P1]
(bracketed or codex's native labels) → FAIL with count; NO severity tags at
all → FAIL requiring a human read; PASS is only reachable through the
explicit tagged-advisory-only branch. [P0] is recognized as blocking, and
the review-log findings count includes it.

(c) Bash gate above the wrapper. Step 2A instructed `timeout: 300000` under
a 330s wrapper, and Challenge's 300s gate sat under a 600s wrapper — the
harness killed the call before the wrapper could emit its diagnosable
exit-124 message. Every Bash gate now sits strictly ABOVE its wrapper:
360000 over the 330s review wrapper, 660000 over the 600s challenge/consult
wrappers, with the ordering rationale stated at each site.

Also from #2477/#2524: a new Error Handling entry for the model-entitlement
400 ("The '<model>' model is not supported...") pointing at the `model =`
pin and `[notice.model_migrations]` in ~/.codex/config.toml and saying
exactly which override to retry with (-m for exec-based modes,
`-c model="..."` for review mode, which rejects -m); the Model & Reasoning
section no longer documents `-m` for `/codex review`.

Static assertions in test/codex-hardening.test.ts pin (a)-(c) across both
the .tmpl and the generated SKILL.md: every scoped review invocation carries
sandbox_mode="read-only" and never -s; the default-PASS sentence is banned
and the fail-closed branches are present; and per-section, every Bash
`timeout: N` is strictly greater than every wrapper budget, with 2A/2B/2C
all required to be inspected. Generated SKILL.md regenerated via
gen:skill-docs in this commit.

ensureStateDir appended ".gstack/" to a tracked .gitignore even when git
already ignored the directory via global excludes, .git/info/exclude, or a
parent .gitignore — dirtying the working tree on every daemon start. Run
`git check-ignore -q -- .gstack/` first and return early when git says it's

`.process()` only exists on browsers Playwright launched itself; a browser

threw "browser?.process is not a function" inside the disconnect handler and
took down the daemon. Type-check the method before calling it and treat the
no-method case as no process handle.

The browse/design/make-pdf setup resolvers built the fallback binary path as
"$HOME" + dir.replace(/^~/, ''), which is only correct for ~-rooted dirs.
Env-var hosts carry an absolute $GSTACK_* dir, so the generated fallback
became $HOME$GSTACK_.../browse — a path that never exists. New toShellPath()

env-var dirs through untouched; all five call sites route through it.

startServer spawns the daemon detached + unref'd, then polls health for a
fixed budget. On a loaded machine the budget can elapse in the gap between

"Server failed to start within Ns" while the very next `browse status`

* fix(browse): daemon resilience on loaded machines — Bun conn errors, stop/restart flush, startup + git-root budgets

Four load-sensitivity fixes in the daemon lifecycle:

- sendCommand only recognized Node's ECONNREFUSED/ECONNRESET; the compiled
  CLI runs on Bun, which reports 'ConnectionRefused'/'ConnectionClosed'
  ("Unable to connect..."), so daemon crashes leaked the raw error and
  exited 1 instead of entering the busy-check/restart path. Match both.
- stop/restart called shutdown() inline, which exits before the HTTP
  response flushes — the CLI saw a dropped socket (and would now
  crash-retry a fresh daemon just to stop it). Defer shutdown ~100ms so
  the 200 lands first.
- Non-CI POSIX startup budget raised 8s -> 15s (cold Chromium measured
  ~5.7s at load avg 10; load 12+ blew the old budget while the detached
  daemon was still booting).
- getGitRoot's 2s git rev-parse timeout returned null under load (6.3s
  spikes measured), scattering state files across cwds into split-brain
  daemons. Raise to 8s, still bounded.

* fix(slug): cached identity is sticky — heal ONLY the provable subdir-cache bug shape

The walk-up rewrite recomputed the slug on every run and "healed" the cache

the remote-derived slug, orphaning everything under ~/.gstack/projects/.
Cached identity now wins, with one precise exception: when the cached value
equals THIS pwd's basename while the walk-up proves pwd is not the project
root, the entry came from the pre-walk-up subdirectory bug (#1125) and is
recomputed. All four slug contracts pass together (repo-mode #2212,
walk-up #1125, sanitize, user-slug).

That is why every block read '+$0.00, +0s, Stable run, no regressions.'
This harness has never been able to detect a regression, and reassuring
output that cannot fail is worse than none. In-progress runs are now
excluded by role, and a run with nothing to compare against says NO
BASELINE instead of claiming stability.

* feat(evals): register shipped skills for hermetic PTY children

Hermetic children get a config dir that deliberately seeds no skills —
right for children that install their own, fatal for the PTY family that
TYPES /office-hours or /plan-ceo-review: claude rejects the command as
Unknown before any model turn, so the plan-family gate smokes measure
nothing. hermeticSkillsConfigDir() is a second, opt-in config dir under
the same runRoot that mirrors ./setup's registration exactly (real dir
per registry name, SKILL.md + sections/ symlinks, frontmatter-name
resolution, _gstack-command root alias), driven by the shared
skill-census so connect-chrome's dir symlink collapses the same way
setup's idempotent overwrite does.

Ported from fork commit 03c4eca2, tree walk rewritten for the upstream

* feat(evals): seedSkills opt-in for PTY slash-command tests + tripwire

Wire ClaudePtyOptions.seedSkills through launchClaudePty: when set (and
hermetic, and no per-test CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR override), the child gets
hermeticSkillsConfigDir() so typed /skill slash commands resolve instead
of dying as Unknown command before any model turn. Opted in at the three
runPlanSkill* helpers and the four direct-launch slash-command tests
(plan-design-with-ui, plan-ceo-mode-routing, autoplan-chain,
ship-idempotency).

New static tripwire (test/pty-skill-seeding-wiring.test.ts): any test
file that sends a slash command over the PTY must route through a
runPlanSkill* helper or pass seedSkills: true — an unseeded slash-command
test spends money and measures nothing. hermetic-wiring.test.ts now
blesses the repo-tree seeding path explicitly (config dir under runRoot,
symlinks into the repo checkout, never operator ~/.claude).

The CI "Register gstack skills for PTY smoke" step keeps a keep-me note:
container cross-mount symlinks defeat the TUI scanner and HOME is not
hermeticized, so the real-file copies there must survive this change.

scripts/test-free-shards.ts derives its free/paid exclusion from it
instead of a private regex list, dropping the dead
browse/test/security-review-fullstack.test.ts pattern (file no longer

module, so a file added to one list can no longer silently miss the
other.

* feat(evals): env-driven lazy eval dir + shard-aware store and tooling

Importing eval-store no longer spawns the gstack-slug subprocess: the
module-level DEFAULT_EVAL_DIR constant is now a memoized defaultEvalDir()
resolved at collector construction. Resolution order: explicit
constructor arg, then GSTACK_EVAL_DIR, then slug detection — so the
sharded paid runner can point each shard child at its own
<evalDir>/shards/<slug>/ dir with plain env, no --preload.

Runs collected under a shards/ subdir record their slug in the eval
JSON (EvalResult.shard). findPreviousRun scans one shards/<slug>/ level
and prefers same-slug priors, so each shard baselines against its own
history instead of whichever shard flushed last. eval:list,
eval:summary, and eval:compare enumerate the same one level of shard
subdirs; eval:compare's no-arg mode also stops picking an in-progress
accumulator as the after-run.

eval-watch stays flat (documented follow-up): it tails a single dir for
live progress and gains nothing from per-shard baselines until the
runner emits a merged stream.

* feat(evals): sharded paid tier runner

scripts/test-paid-shards.ts runs the gate/periodic tier one Bun process
per test file, with an EXTERNAL wall-clock timeout that SIGKILLs the
shard's detached process group and an aggregate that distinguishes
passed / failed / timed-out / never-started — partial execution can no
longer read as a pass. Bun's native --shard/--isolate covers none of
this: no process-group kill (hung claude/codex PTY grandchildren
survive in-process isolation), no never-started taxonomy, no per-shard
env. Each shard child gets GSTACK_EVAL_DIR=<evalDir>/shards/<slug>/
(slug = test filename sans extension, stable across runs) so shard
baselines compare against their own prior runs.

Output classification lives in scripts/test-strict-output.ts (strict
exit-code derivation, incremental fail-line classifier, child signal
forwarding) so the runner and any future strict bun-test wrapper share
one implementation. Enumeration derives from the shared paid-test-set
module; tier exclusion fires only on an explicit whole-file
EVALS_TIER === '<other>' guard.

package.json gains test:gate:sharded / test:periodic:sharded, and
eval:bg:gate / eval:bg:periodic now run the sharded scripts with detach
timeouts sized to the worst case (gate: 49 shards x 30min / 4 jobs ~
6.2h -> 25200s; periodic: 59 -> 28800s).

test/paid-shards.test.ts pins enumeration, tier classification, and the
kill-and-continue property with a real busy-loop shard.

* feat(security): hash-chained egress receipt ledger (core)

Port lib/egress-receipt from the v2 fork as TypeScript: writeReceipt
(sync, fail-closed via typed EGRESS_RECEIPT_FAILED), best-effort
writeOutcome, readLedger/listReceipts/verifyLedger, GSTACK_HOME ->
GSTACK_STATE_DIR -> ~/.gstack resolution, 0600 ledger under a 0700
security dir, and an mkdir spin lock (2.5s budget) with documented
>10s-mtime stale-lock reclaim.

Changes vs the fork:
- lastRawLine tail-reads the final 4KB instead of loading the whole
  ledger, so appends stay O(1) as the file grows.
- WARN-at-size: past 25MB writeReceipt emits one self-explanatory
  stderr warning per process (what the ledger is, how to inspect it,
  rotation TODO); verifyLedger gains a sizeWarning field. Rotation
  TODO carries the chain-genesis sketch (new generation's first record
  embeds the prior file's tail hash).

bin/gstack-egress-receipt is a bun script bridging shell callers:

* chore(bin): delete dead brain-consumer/reader scripts

bin/gstack-brain-consumer and bin/gstack-brain-reader are byte-identical
dead scripts that POST the repo URL + a Bearer token to a /ingest-repo
endpoint gbrain removed (docs/gbrain-sync.md already documents the
removal in past tense). No live references remain; CHANGELOG mentions
are historical.

* feat(security): shared shell receipt helpers

bin/gstack-egress-lib.sh (sourced library, gstack-gbrain-lib.sh
precedent) provides _receipted_curl and _receipted_git: write the
egress receipt BEFORE the send via gstack-egress-receipt, hand curl the
SAME payload file via --data-binary @file so the receipt hash matches
the wire bytes exactly, then append a best-effort outcome. Per-call
fail policy: 'closed' refuses the send (return 3, problem/cause/fix
message on stderr) and 'open' warns and proceeds. Payload temp files
are consumed immediately per call — no EXIT traps, since callers like
gstack-telemetry-sync own their own EXIT trap and a sourced trap would
clobber it.

Tested end-to-end against a local Bun.serve listener: receipt sha256
equals the sha256 of the bytes the listener received, fail-closed
refusal never touches the network and carries the problem/cause/fix
stderr shape, fail-open warns and proceeds.

* feat(security): receipt core shell sinks

Wire the three core bash egress sinks through gstack-egress-lib.sh:

- gstack-telemetry-sync: the batch POST now writes the payload to a
  temp file, receipts those exact bytes fail-closed, and hands curl the
  SAME file. On refusal nothing is sent and the cursor does not
  advance, so the batch stays buffered for the next run. The HTTP
  status is recorded as the receipt outcome.
- gstack-update-check: fail-open receipts (warn + proceed) on the
  Supabase ping POST, both VERSION curls (via a local
  _receipted_version_fetch helper that skips non-network schemes), and
  git ls-remote. The ping receipt is written inside the backgrounded
  subshell, so it can never block the script's exit.
- gstack-brain-sync: fail-closed git-class receipts. The push receipt
  is written BEFORE the commit consumes the queue, so a refused receipt
  leaves the queue intact and the next run retries the whole drain
  (pinned by a new queue-intact-on-refusal test, including the
  problem/cause/fix refusal message shape). The retry-path fetch and
  retry push carry their own fail-closed receipts.

* feat(security): receipt TS module sinks + tunnel

writeReceipt (fail-closed, sha256:null — a subprocess or SDK owns the
wire bytes) before every TS-module network-bearing operation:

- bin/gstack-gbrain-sync.ts: before the gbrain code walk that ships
  repo content to the user's gbrain DB (may be remote Postgres). A
  refused receipt fails the stage with status refused-egress-receipt.
- bin/gstack-memory-ingest.ts: before the gbrain batch import of
  transcript pages. A refused receipt returns a system_error verdict
  without spawning the import.
- browse/src/server.ts: before both ngrok.forward call sites (start-up
  BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 path and the /tunnel/start endpoint). A receipt
  failure lands in the existing catch that tears the tunnel listener
  back down and refuses the start.

* feat(design): receipted fetch for OpenAI calls

design/src/receipted-fetch.ts wraps every api.openai.com call: a
content-free egress receipt (sink design-openai, sha256 of the JSON
body — hash only, never the body) is written BEFORE the send. Polarity
is FAIL-OPEN: user-facing generation must not die because an audit log
hiccuped, so a receipt failure warns on stderr and the call proceeds.
Streams pass through untouched (response bodies returned as-is;
non-string request bodies receipted as sha256:null rather than drained
to hash).

All ten call sites converted with per-command payload classes:
generate, variants (injected fetchFn passes through), iterate (both
threaded and fresh paths), evolve (image + screenshot analysis), check,
diff, design-to-code, memory.

Unit-tested with injected fetch: receipt-before-send ordering, stream
passthrough, and fail-open on an unwritable ledger.

* feat(security): receipt admin scripts + user git-ops (zero exceptions)

Wire the remaining shell egress through gstack-egress-lib.sh:

- gstack-gbrain-mcp-verify: both JSON-RPC probe POSTs (initialize +
  tools/list) receipted fail-closed via payload files (hash == wire
  bytes). A refused receipt lands in the NETWORK class — no send.
- gstack-security-dashboard / gstack-community-dashboard: the
  community-pulse GETs receipted fail-open (read-only stats must not
  break over an audit hiccup).
- gstack-gbrain-supabase-provision: api_call receipted fail-closed.
  Each retry attempt hands the helper a fresh copy of the body file
  (the helper consumes its payload). The receipt hashes the request
  body only — the PAT never reaches the ledger or any log. Refusal
  exits 8 without retrying.
- git-class sha256:null receipts, fail-open: gstack-artifacts-init
  (ls-remote, initial push, fetch/pull recovery, retry push),
  gstack-brain-restore (staging clone, existing-repo fetch),
  gstack-session-update (self-update pull).

gstack-team-init needs no wiring: every git clone in it is inside an
echoed instruction string, not an executed command.

The lib now self-locates with shell builtins only (no dirname), so
sourcing works under the whitelist-PATH test harnesses.

* test(security): egress wiring tripwire + polarity contract

Static-grep tripwire pinning the egress-receipt wiring (threat model in
the header: the ledger is forensic observability of ATTEMPTED egress,
not an exfiltration control):

- Per-sink assertions: every wired TS module imports egress-receipt and
  calls writeReceipt; every wired shell sink sources
  gstack-egress-lib.sh with each network op under a receipt;
  ngrok-proximity check for server.ts; every design api.openai.com call
  routes through receiptedFetch.
- Absence assertions: the dead brain-consumer/reader scripts stay
  deleted (lstat, so a dangling symlink also fails).
- Polarity table pinned as data (fail-closed: brain-sync,
  memory-ingest, gbrain-sync, telemetry-sync, ngrok, mcp-verify,
  supabase-provision; fail-open: design-openai, update-check,
  dashboards, git-class user ops, context-bill --exact) plus per-file
  polarity spot-checks.
- NEW-SINK SCANNER with zero KNOWN_UNWIRED: sweeps bin/, lib/,
  scripts/, design/src, browse/src for curl, absolute-URL fetch(, and
  git remote ops (never local rev-parse/get-url; heredoc bodies and
  message strings excluded) and requires every hit to be receipted or
  in a REASONED exemption list where each entry carries its why.
  Preamble-generated skill prose documented out-of-scope in the header.
- Shebang tripwire: no bin/gstack-* file may carry a node shebang.

* feat(cli): gstack-egress reader

bin/gstack-egress (bun) — the auditor's view of the receipts ledger:

- list: one row per receipt (what gstack ATTEMPTED to send), with
  --since/--host/--sink filters and --json.
- verify: recompute the hash chain; exit 3 on tamper naming the first
  broken line; prints the sizeWarning when the ledger passes 25MB.
- grants: what CAN leave, built on the upstream config keys only
  (telemetry, artifacts_sync_mode, redact_repo_visibility,
  redact_prepush_hook via gstack-config get) — each grant names its
  file, key, and the exact revoke command.

CLI smoke tests spawn the real bin against a temp GSTACK_HOME,
including a broken-chain fixture asserting exit 3.

* feat(cli): context-bill — token bill-of-materials (stripped port)

lib/context-bill.ts, ported from the v2 fork and STRIPPED to the tiers
this repo's skills can exercise: ALWAYS-ON (per-skill frontmatter bytes
with dead-key and foreign-host-file flags), EAGER (SKILL.md + any
forced 'for every invocation' references), on-disk totals, --diff,
--budget, and --exact with the calibration table. The fork's
CONDITIONAL/TRANSITIVE/LAZY/FAST-PATH parsers understand only its
dispatcher layout and were dropped; the tier fields stay in the report
shape (empty/zero/null) so re-adding a parser is additive.
TOKEN_DIVISORS and their provenance docblock kept; --help notes
recalibration via --exact's calibration block.

Three upstream fixes over the fork:
(a) findSkillDirs treats the walk ROOT as a container — the repo root's
    router SKILL.md is billed AND its children are walked (the fork
    short-circuited and billed one skill); walkMd skips node_modules
    and dot-directories.
(b) installed-tree layout: subdirs that are their own repo checkout
    (a gstack/ clone inside ~/.claude/skills, detected by .git) are
    skipped, and directory symlinks (connect-chrome) are followed with
    a container-recursion cycle guard.
(c) ROUTER_KEYS widened to the upstream frontmatter contract {name,
    description, version, allowed-tools, triggers, preamble-tier}.

--exact writes an egress receipt (sink context-bill-exact, host
api.anthropic.com) BEFORE any count_tokens POST; if the receipt cannot
be written the run degrades to the offline estimate with a warning —
nothing is sent unrecorded. bin/gstack-context-bill is the bun shim.

Tests: fixture-tree ledgers, the three fixes, --diff/--budget exit
codes, --exact with injected fetch (envelope subtraction, receipt
ordering, fail-open degradation), CLI smoke test, and ground truth
against THIS repo via test/helpers/skill-census.ts.

* test(catalog): aggregate discovery-surface budget with ratchet protocol

Every host loads every skill's frontmatter name + description at
discovery, every session. applyCatalogTrim in scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts
shapes each description and the 160KB per-file warn covers body size,
but nothing capped the aggregate frontmatter — the catalog could grow
one reasonable-looking description at a time. This test is that
enforcement layer.

Measures the catalog via test/helpers/skill-census.ts authoredSkills
(symlink-deduped, root router counted separately as the _gstack-command
alias line item): 53 skills + router = 4,420 bytes = 1,105
token-equivalents today, asserted <= 1,150 (~4% headroom). Per-skill
sub-cap of 260 bytes (largest today: design-consultation at 229), plus
a non-empty-description check.

Failure messages are self-service ratchets: they print the new total,
the delta, and the update protocol (bump the constant AND the
derivation comment in the same commit; trim instead of grow for
existing descriptions). Parser handles folded block scalars
(description: >-) for fork parity; import-free by design so it
survives generator refactors.

* fix(browse): extension token bootstrap moves to pinned-origin POST; /health carries no token

GET /health is now liveness/status only in every mode — both token
carve-outs (headed-mode disjunct AND chrome-extension:// Origin
disjunct) are removed. Token bootstrap is POST /extension-token on the
local listener: the Origin header must be exactly
chrome-extension://<GSTACK_EXTENSION_ID> and the Host header's hostname
must parse to 127.0.0.1 or localhost (parsed via new URL, never literal
equality — Host arrives as '127.0.0.1:34567'). Wrong origin/host → 403
with no detail. The tunnel surface 404s the endpoint (not in
TUNNEL_PATHS, verified by test).

The extension ID is pinned by a new "key" field (RSA public key) in
extension/manifest.json; browse/scripts/extension-id.ts reproduces the
ID derivation (first 16 bytes of SHA-256 of the DER public key, hex
mapped 0-9a-f → a-p). The private key is not committed anywhere —
unpacked/baked-in loads only need the public key.

Extension side: background.js bootstraps and refreshes the token via
POST /extension-token (403 → disconnected state); sidepanel.js direct
connect path does the same; sidepanel-terminal.js's dead /health token
fallback (read AUTH_TOKEN/authToken keys the server never sent,
hardcoded port) is replaced with the window.gstackAuthToken path.

MIGRATION NOTE: the manifest key pins the extension ID, so existing
installs' side-panel local state (saved port, snoozes) resets once —
explained in-product via a one-time notice (flag
gstack_id_migrated_v162). After upgrading the server, restart the
browser so the old service worker stops polling for a token GET /health
no longer serves.

* docs: correct stale compiled-binaries claim; file three egress/eval follow-ups

CLAUDE.md's compiled-binaries section claimed browse/dist binaries are
tracked by git and appear as modified in git status — false since
64d5a3e4 (v0.11.16.0) untracked them, and actively harmful: it trained
agents to ignore dist binaries in git status. The section now states
the truth (untracked + gitignored; a dist binary in git status means
someone force-added it) and covers make-pdf/dist too.

TODOS.md gains the three follow-ups filed by the v1.62 port-wave
reviews: ledger rotation with chain-genesis records, launch-nonce
token bootstrap, and eval-watch shard-awareness.

* fix: pre-landing review fixes for the v2 port wave

Review army (checklist + 5 specialists) + coverage/plan audits on the
assembled branch. Genuine correctness/security/hygiene fixes:

- test-paid-shards: strictTestExitCode now receives expectedFiles on the
  real bun path, so a shard that runs fewer files than planned (harness
  crash, nothing loaded) with exit 0 is no longer recorded 'passed' — the
  invisible-non-execution class the runner exists to kill. Pinned by the
  new test/strict-output.test.ts (also covers the chunk-boundary classifier).
- test-paid-shards: EVALS_TIER env is validated (gate|periodic) like the
  --tier flag, so a typo can't self-skip every test and exit 0 green.
- package.json: test:periodic:sharded sets EVALS_ALL=1, restoring the
  full-tier semantics the pre-shard script had (CI already set it; local
  eval:bg:periodic silently under-measured without it).
- brain-sync.test: run() pins HOME to the temp home so gstack-artifacts-init
  stops writing/clobbering the operator's real ~/.gstack-artifacts-remote.txt
  every free-suite run; afterEach now also scrubs the current filename.
- egress-receipt: cap each receipt field at 512B so a serialized line always
  fits the 4KB tail-read window — a longer line would make the next append
  hash a truncated prior line and verifyLedger report a permanent false
  TAMPER. warnLedgerSize short-circuits before statSync once fired (append
  hot path).
- gstack-egress: import.meta.dir (Windows-safe) instead of new URL().pathname
  so grants doesn't silently report defaults on Windows; strip control chars
  from ledger-derived fields on render so a crafted receipt can't spoof the
  auditor's view.
- extension/background.js + CLAUDE.md: renumber the identity-pin migration
  refs v1.62 -> v1.63 (main claimed 1.62.0.0; this wave queue-advances).
- egress-receipt-wiring: pin lib/context-bill.ts unconditionally (both land
  together now); drop the dead RunShardsOptions.tier field.

All fix-affected test files green; gate failures triaged as external-env
(codex/gemini CLI drift) or pre-existing (hermetic-canary fails identically
on base). Deferred polish tracked in the PR body + decision store.

* docs: file TODO to harden plan-design-with-ui PTY detection

The v1.63 seedSkills change made this gate test execute for the first
time; it reliably times out because its terminal scraper can't parse the
(correctly-rendered) scope-gate AskUserQuestion out of a spinner-mangled
PTY buffer. Shipped skill behavior is correct — test-harness limitation.

* chore: re-slot release as v1.62.1.0 (PATCH per user)

Main claimed 1.62.0.0 while the wave was in flight; the user chose the
PATCH slot over queue-advancing MINOR. Renumbers the identity-pin
migration notice (now version-free flag name so a re-slot never orphans
an already-set flag), the CLAUDE.md /health note, the CHANGELOG heading,
and the TODOS section titles.

* fix(test): stop hard-requiring the literal ok) case label in gbrain-refresh guards

The extractor grepped for 'ok)' but the case label grew to
ok|timeout|thin-client) (#1964, #2051), so the whole file errored on
import — the free suite's only red for months. The extractor now matches
any label starting with ok and its alternations; all 7 guard assertions
run again.

* fix(test): hermetic-canary probes with ${VAR:-} so nounset shells can't fail success

The probe echoed bare $CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_PATH — when scrubbing WORKS
the var is unset, and under a nounset shell the echo errors, failing the
canary exactly when isolation succeeds. Defaulted expansions assert
identically under any shell. Fails identically on base; fixed here.

* fix(evals): absorb codex/gemini CLI drift; external-service tests go periodic-tier

- codex exec gains --skip-git-repo-check: newer CLIs refuse exec in an
  untrusted non-git dir (our temp skill dirs) — empirically verified.
- gemini: --skip-trust was removed in gemini-cli 0.34 (argv parse error);
  dropped from the session runner and the benchmark adapter. A present-
  but-unusable CLI (deprecated individual code-assist auth path) now
  classifies as SKIP, not a false adapter failure; the benchmark live
  smoke skips on auth/rate_limit error codes (environmental) while still
  failing on timeout/unknown (the drift classes it exists to catch).
- codex-e2e, gemini-e2e, and benchmark-providers gain the canonical
  whole-file EVALS_TIER === 'periodic' guard per CLAUDE.md tiering rule 3
  (external service -> periodic) — the sharded gate runner now excludes
  all three (gate: 45 -> 42 shards).

* fix(evals): parse single-logical-line AskUserQuestions in the PTY runner

When the PTY reflows a boxed AUQ, ALL options land on ONE logical line
after stripAnsi — parseNumberedOptions parsed one option per line, found
only '1.', and the >=2 check failed forever while the correct question
sat on screen (plan-design-with-ui timed out this way twice, with the
rendered scope-gate AUQ visible in both failure buffers). The cursor
line is now parsed as a stream of ascending N. tokens; DEC cursor-
visibility residue is stripped before matching; plan-design-with-ui's
budgets grow to fit observed ~6min preamble+thinking latency. Pinned by
test/pty-auq-single-line.test.ts using the real failure buffers; all 142
existing parser-consumer unit tests still green.

* chore: restore v1.63.0.0 (MINOR — user-confirmed final slot)

The wave ships new capability (egress receipts + two CLIs, sharded paid
runner, hermetic skill seeding) at ~8K lines — MINOR scale per the
scale-aware bump rules. Supersedes the brief v1.62.1.0 re-slot; the
version-free migration flag means no state churn from the renumber.

AskUserQuestion in full in filenames, identifiers, and comments.

* docs: sync every doc surface with the v1.63 release

/document-release audit (4-lane, all claims verified against branch code):

  egress framing per the shipped threat model).
- ARCHITECTURE: /health is liveness-only, POST /extension-token endpoint row
  + bootstrap mechanics paragraph; new Egress receipt ledger subsection under
  Security model; eval persistence covers the sharded runner, GSTACK_EVAL_DIR,
  and the finalized-run baseline rule.
- CLAUDE.md: sharded test scripts in Commands; sharded semantics in the
  detached-evals section; PTY skill seeding in the hermetic section; egress
  invariant block beside the other server-egress invariants; catalog-budget
  ceiling beside the 160KB token ceiling; project-tree entries for
  lib/egress-receipt.ts, lib/context-bill.ts, scripts/test-paid-shards.ts.
- CONTRIBUTING: seedSkills + live-tree seeding in the hermetic paragraph;
  sharded runner in detached runs; catalog-budget in the Tier 1 list.
- BROWSER: extension token bootstrap section, tunnel egress receipts section,
  identity-pin migration note in manual install.
- REMOTE_BROWSER_ACCESS: tunnel-start receipt bullet in the security model.
- gbrain docs: /sync-gbrain + brain-sync egress-receipt behavior documented;
  dead consumer-token instructions removed (consumer machinery deleted this
  release); new fail-closed refusal added to the error catalog.
- CHANGELOG: measured-vs-ceiling catalog numbers, contributor notes for the
  external-service tier move and the PTY single-line AskUserQuestion parser,
  release date.
- TODOS: /health token-distribution TODO resolved by this release, removed;
  port-wave follow-up sections re-labeled to the shipped version.

* docs: sweep drift that predates this release

Surfaced by the /document-release audit; every fix verified against the
current binaries:

- gstack-brain-init was replaced by gstack-artifacts-init in v1.27.0.0
  (hard-delete, no compat shim), but README, USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK,
  docs/gbrain-sync.md, and docs/gbrain-sync-errors.md still instructed
  users to run it — command-not-found on every follow. Same sweep updates
  ~/.gstack-brain-remote.txt to the canonical ~/.gstack-artifacts-remote.txt
  (legacy name still honored on restore, noted where users copy the file).
- gbrain-sync-errors.md headings re-matched to the literal messages the
  binaries print today (the doc's whole value is grep-by-exact-message):
  'gstack-artifacts-init: ~/.gstack/ is already a git repo pointing at:',
  'Remote not reachable via SSH:', 'Failed to create or find ...'. The
  already-a-repo fix now leads with the command's own set-url suggestion.
- docs/gbrain-sync.md 'Under the hood' linked a plan file that does not
  exist in the repo; replaced with the decisions themselves.
- SIDEBAR_MESSAGE_FLOW startup timeline: /pty-session responds with
  {terminalPort, sessionId, attachToken, leaseExpiresAt} (v1.44 shape,
  verified at browse/src/server.ts:1860), not the retired
  {terminalPort, ptySessionToken} pair.

* docs: fold the Codex accuracy review of the release docs

Six findings, all verified against source before fixing:

1. 'Every send writes a receipt' overclaimed — fail-open sinks proceed with
   a stderr warning when the receipt write fails, so a fail-open send can go
   unrecorded (lib/egress-receipt.ts:8-14). Descriptive prose now says so;
   the receipted framing keeps 'attempted'.
2. 'Receipts hash the request body' is wrong for subprocess-owned sends —
   git pushes record sha256: null (lib/egress-receipt.ts:71).
3. 'grants shows every consent in force' overclaimed — it reports the four
   standing config settings (bin/gstack-egress:139-181). Reworded in
   README, ARCHITECTURE, and the CHANGELOG entry.
4. 'Zero-exception scanner' vs reality: the new-sink scanner carries a
   reasoned SCANNER_EXEMPT list (user-directed fetches, probes, instruction
   strings, skill prose). CLAUDE.md now names it.
5. Error-catalog cause/fix for the receipt refusal: the writer mkdirs the
   ledger dir itself, so 'missing' isn't a cause and bare chmod fails when
   it is absent — cause reworded, fix is mkdir -p && chmod.
6. gbrain-sync first-run steps described the retired binary's behavior:
   default repo is gstack-artifacts-$USER, and init PRINTS the gbrain
   hookup command (never auto-executes; bin/gstack-artifacts-init:384-419).

v1.40.0.0 fix wave: gbrain sync hardening (8 community PRs + migration) (#1547)
* fix(gbrain-sync): fold hostname into code-source id hash + migration (#1414)

Cherry-picked from #1468 by 0xDevNinja and extended with the
hostname-fold migration that codex review surfaced.

Pre-fix `deriveCodeSourceId` hashed the absolute repo path alone, so two
machines with identical home-dir layouts (chezmoi-managed dotfiles,
ansible-provisioned VMs) derived the same id and clobbered each other's
`local_path` in a federated brain. Last-writer-wins, with cryptic "Not a
git repository" errors on the loser.

Hash key is now `\${hostname}::\${path}`. Conductor worktrees on a single
host stay distinct (path entropy unchanged within a host); cross-machine
federations stop colliding.

Migration (D1=B + codex refinements): every existing user has a
pre-#1468 path-only-hash source id in their brain that no longer matches
what `deriveCodeSourceId` produces. Without migration, the next sync
registers a fresh source and orphans the old one. This commit adds:

- \`derivePathOnlyHashLegacyId\` — separate helper for the pre-#1468 form.
  Distinct from \`deriveLegacyCodeSourceId\` (pre-pathhash v1.x form);
  both probes run.

- \`planHostnameFoldMigration\` — feature-checks \`gbrain sources rename
  <old> <new>\` (exact argument shape, not just \`--help\`), gates on
  path-drift (skip migration if old source's \`local_path\` differs from
  current repo root), and falls back to register-new + sync-OK +
  remove-old when rename is unsupported. As of gbrain 0.35.0.0 the
  rename subcommand does not exist, so users go through the cleanup
  path; the rename path stays dormant until gbrain ships it.

- \`removeOrphanedSource\` — called only AFTER new-source sync verifies
  page_count > 0. Closes the data-loss window codex flagged where
  "register new, remove old before sync" can wipe pages if sync fails.

- \`sourceLocalPath\` — looks up a source's \`local_path\` from
  \`gbrain sources list --json\` for the drift gate.

- Helpers accept an optional \`env\` parameter so tests can inject a
  gbrain shim via PATH without process-wide PATH mutation (Bun's
  spawnSync doesn't pick up runtime PATH changes). Pre-positions for
  commit 4's centralized gbrain-exec helper.

- \`if (import.meta.main)\` guard around \`main()\` so the helpers can be
  imported for in-process unit tests.

Tests cover: pure derivation, ids-match degenerate case, no-legacy
short-circuit, path-drift skip path, rename path with shim, cleanup
fallback when rename unsupported, cleanup fallback when rename call
itself fails, source-lookup happy/missing/error paths.

\`GSTACK_HOSTNAME\` env var is a test-only knob; production uses
\`os.hostname()\`.

* fix(gbrain-sync): cut source-id slugs on hyphen boundaries (+ #1357)

Cherry-picked from #1481 by drummerms and extended with the explicit
HTTPS-remote regression case for #1357 (decision D2=A).

`constrainSourceId` truncated the slug with `slug.slice(-tailBudget)`,
which cut mid-word when the boundary fell inside a token. For a repo
where the combined `prefix-org-repo-pathhash` exceeded 32 chars, this
produced embarrassing artifacts like `gstack-code-kill-270c0001-c32152`
(from `drummerms-av-sow-wiz-skill-270c0001`).

Two changes carried from #1481, adapted for the #1468 hostpathhash:

1. `constrainSourceId` now walks hyphen-separated tokens from the right,
   accumulating whole tokens until adding the next would exceed
   `tailBudget`. When no token fits, falls through to the existing
   `${prefix}-${hash}` form.

2. `deriveCodeSourceId` now retries with `repo-only-hostpathhash`
   (dropping the org segment) when the full `org-repo-hostpathhash`
   triggers truncation. Keeps the repo name readable when it fits at all.

Plus a new test asserting the source id is period-free for the exact
HTTPS-with-.git remote shape from #1357 (`https://github.com/foo/bar.git`).
canonicalizeRemote strips `.git`; the sanitizer strips any residual
non-alnum. The test closes #1357 by pinning the property.

Closes #1357

* fix(gbrain): probe CLI without command builtin

* fix(gbrain-sync): centralize gbrain spawn surface + seed DATABASE_URL

Cherry-picked from #1508 by jasshultz, restructured per codex review #4
and #7 to widen scope and centralize the spawn surface.

The bug: gbrain auto-loads .env.local from cwd via dotenv. When
/sync-gbrain runs inside a Next.js / Prisma / Rails project whose
.env.local defines its own DATABASE_URL (pointing at the app's local
DB), gbrain reads that value instead of its own
~/.gbrain/config.json — auth fails, code + memory stages crash.

This commit:

- Adds lib/gbrain-exec.ts: buildGbrainEnv, spawnGbrain, execGbrainJson,
  execGbrainText, spawnGbrainAsync (the last one for memory-ingest's
  streaming gbrain import call). buildGbrainEnv seeds DATABASE_URL from
  ${GBRAIN_HOME:-$HOME/.gbrain}/config.json, returns a fresh env object
  (never the caller's by identity — codex review #11), and honors the
  GSTACK_RESPECT_ENV_DATABASE_URL=1 escape hatch.

- Routes every gbrain spawn in bin/gstack-gbrain-sync.ts and
  bin/gstack-memory-ingest.ts through the helpers. Both files now own
  zero direct spawnSync("gbrain"|spawn("gbrain"|execFileSync("gbrain"
  call sites.

- Threads buildGbrainEnv into the spawnSync("bun", [memory-ingest], ...)
  grandchild in runMemoryIngest (codex review #7). Without this, the
  parent fix is half-baked — the bun child inherits a clean env but
  needs DATABASE_URL pre-seeded too. spawnGbrainAsync inside
  memory-ingest provides defense in depth for standalone invocations.

- Adds GBRAIN_HOME support — aligns with detectEngineTier (already
  honors GBRAIN_HOME) so all gstack-side gbrain calls agree on which
  config file matters. Resolves baseEnv.HOME first, then homedir(), so
  test injection works without process-wide HOME mutation.

- Adds test/build-gbrain-env.test.ts: 10 unit tests covering all five
  env-seeding branches (seed from config / override caller /
  GSTACK_RESPECT escape hatch / missing config / unparseable config /
  no database_url field / GBRAIN_HOME path / object-identity guard /
  unrelated-vars preservation / idempotent-when-matches).

- Adds test/gbrain-exec-invariant.test.ts: static-source check that
  greps both bin/gstack-gbrain-sync.ts and bin/gstack-memory-ingest.ts
  for direct spawnSync("gbrain"|spawn("gbrain"|execFileSync("gbrain"|
  execSync(...gbrain matches and fails the build if any are found.
  Refactor-proof against future contributors adding a new gbrain spawn
  without env threading.

The invariant is intentionally narrow — only the two files where the
DATABASE_URL bug actually hurts users are guarded. Migrating the
spawn sites in lib/gbrain-local-status.ts, lib/gstack-memory-helpers.ts,
and bin/gstack-brain-context-load.ts is a follow-up.

* fix(gbrain-sync): add .gbrain-source to consumer repo .gitignore (#1384)

The v1.29.0.0 changelog promised .gbrain-source would be added to the
consuming repo's .gitignore so the per-worktree pin stays local, but the
change actually only added it to gstack's own .gitignore. Without the
consumer-side entry, the pin gets committed and Conductor sibling
worktrees of the same repo + branch step on each other's pin every time
anyone commits.

Add ensureGbrainSourceGitignored after a successful gbrain sources
attach in runCodeImport. Idempotent on repeat runs (line-trim match),
creates .gitignore if missing, logs a warning and continues on
permission errors so a read-only checkout doesn't fail the sync.

Gate the top-level main() call behind import.meta.main so tests can
import the helper without triggering a full sync run on module load.

Tests in test/gbrain-source-gitignore.test.ts cover: create-when-missing,
append-without-trailing-newline, append-with-trailing-newline,
idempotent on repeat, recognize whitespace-surrounded entry, no-throw
on read-only file. 6 pass.

* fix(gbrain-sources): bump gbrain sources list --json timeout 10s → 30s

Supabase free-tier cold-starts can push `gbrain sources list --json` past
10s (observed 14.5s in the wild), causing probeSource() to throw ETIMEDOUT
during /sync-gbrain code stage even though the underlying CLI was healthy.
Matches the 30s ceiling already used by `sources add` / `sources remove`
in the same file.

* fix(brain-allowlist): sync project-root eng-review-test-plan artifacts (#1452)

Cherry-picked from #1465 by genisis0x and extended with the v1.40.0.0
upgrade migration that codex review #5 surfaced.

#1465 alone only patches bin/gstack-artifacts-init, which means fresh
installs and re-inits pick up the new pattern. But existing users who
already ran v1.38.1.0 have a `.migrations/v1.38.1.0.done` marker — that
migration won't re-run no matter what we change. So their installed
`.brain-allowlist`, `.brain-privacy-map.json`, and `.gitattributes` stay
without the new pattern, and `/plan-eng-review` artifacts continue to
silently drop out of their federation queue.

This commit:

- bin/gstack-artifacts-init: adds projects/*/*-eng-review-test-plan-*.md
  to the three managed blocks. v1.38.1.0 covered design + test-plan; this
  completes the set for /plan-eng-review.

- gstack-upgrade/migrations/v1.40.0.0.sh: targeted in-place repair for
  existing installs. Same idempotent jq-based shape as v1.38.1.0. Adds
  the new pattern to .brain-allowlist (before the USER ADDITIONS marker),
  .brain-privacy-map.json (as class=artifact), and .gitattributes (as
  merge=union). NEVER commits + pushes — the user controls when the
  patches ship to their federated artifacts repo.

- test/artifacts-init-migration.test.ts: 5 new tests covering the
  v1.40.0.0 migration applied on top of a post-v1.38.1.0 state, jq
  patching, gitattributes append, idempotent re-run, and done-marker
  write when files are missing entirely.

* fix(gbrain-install): skip postinstall on Windows MSYS/MINGW + post-install probe

Cherry-picked from #1487 by genisis0x and extended with the post-install
subcommand probe per T6 / codex review #19.

`bun install` in $INSTALL_DIR fails on Windows MSYS/MINGW/Cygwin shells
because gbrain's native postinstall script mis-parses path arguments
and aborts with a non-zero exit, breaking gstack-gbrain-install for
Windows users running git-bash/MSYS2. The package installs cleanly
without scripts.

This commit:

- Adds Windows shell detection via `uname -s` matching
  MINGW*/MSYS*/CYGWIN*/Windows_NT (#1487's case statement already covers
  all four — codex review #18 confirmed MINGW* is included). Windows
  paths get `bun install --ignore-scripts`; macOS and Linux unchanged.

- Adds a post-install probe of `gbrain sources --help`. `gbrain --version`
  already runs (D19 PATH-shadowing validation), but version success
  doesn't prove the subcommand surface is reachable — and
  `--ignore-scripts` may have skipped artifacts that subcommands need.
  Probe failure logs a clear warning (with Windows-specific remediation
  pointing at re-running `bun install` outside MSYS) but does NOT exit
  non-zero; users may still get value from gbrain even if the probe
  fails transiently.

v1.38.1.0 fix wave: surrogate-safe page captures (#1440), Implementation Tasks across review skills (#1454), root-level artifact patterns (#1452) (#1504)
* fix(browse): sanitize lone Unicode surrogates at commandResult chokepoint + /batch envelope (#1440)

Page captures with mixed-script Unicode round-trip cleanly to the Claude API.
Two new utilities in browse/src/sanitize.ts: stripLoneSurrogates for raw UTF-16
strings, stripLoneSurrogateEscapes for \uXXXX JSON escape text. sanitizeBody
picks the right pass based on cr.json.

buildCommandResponse is extracted from handleCommand (now exported) and
applies sanitization before new Response(). /batch was bypassing this
chokepoint via direct JSON.stringify, so it sanitizes each cr.result before
pushing AND wraps the envelope with stripLoneSurrogateEscapes. Defense in
depth wraps at getCleanText, getCleanTextWithStripping, html, accessibility,
and snapshot.ts return points so downstream consumers (datamarking, envelope
wrapping) see sanitized text before the response is built.

25 new unit tests across sanitize.test.ts and build-command-response.test.ts.
content-security.test.ts updated to accept either pre- or post-sanitize form
of the snapshot scoped branch (source-level regression check).

* feat: bug fix wave v1.36.0.0 — Implementation Tasks, allowlist patterns, surrogate-safe page captures (#1440 #1452 #1454)

Three filed issues land together:

#1440 — Page captures from real-world HTML hit 'API Error 400: no low
surrogate in string'. Sanitizers + buildCommandResponse extraction shipped in
the prior commit; this commit adds the migration script that patches existing
brain-allowlist/privacy-map/gitattributes installs and the supporting tests.

#1452 — Federation sync was silently skipping root-level design and test-plan
docs. bin/gstack-artifacts-init adds two patterns to all three managed blocks
(.brain-allowlist, .brain-privacy-map.json, .gitattributes). Idempotent
migration v1.36.0.0.sh repairs existing installs in place via jq (preserves
JSON validity) — no commit + push from the migration.

#1454 — All four review skills (CEO/design/eng/DX) emit an Implementation
Tasks markdown section AND write a jq-built JSONL artifact per phase.
/autoplan reads all four files, scopes by current branch + 5-commit window,
dedupes on exact (component, sorted(files), title), and renders an aggregated
list in the Final Approval Gate.

New tests:
- browse/test/sanitize.test.ts (18 cases)
- browse/test/build-command-response.test.ts (7 cases)
- test/artifacts-init-migration.test.ts (7 cases)

VERSION → 1.36.0.0. Skips the v1.34.x slot taken by 'gstack consumable as
submodule' and the v1.35.0.0 slot taken by /document-generate. #1428 was
shipped separately by v1.34.2.0 with a different approach; follow-up #1503
filed for the bare-path filesystem boundary concern surfaced during our
analysis.

v1.37.0.0 feat: split-engine gbrain (remote MCP brain + local PGLite for code) (#1500)
* feat(gbrain): add lib/gbrain-local-status classifier with 5-state engine status + 60s cache

Foundation for split-engine gbrain: shared classifier used by both
bin/gstack-gbrain-detect (preamble probe) and bin/gstack-gbrain-sync.ts
(orchestrator SKIP-when-not-ok). Single source of truth.

Probes via `gbrain sources list --json` and classifies stderr against the
same patterns lib/gbrain-sources.ts:66-67 already uses ("Cannot connect to
database", "config.json"). Returns one of: ok, no-cli, missing-config,
broken-config, broken-db. Defensive default: unrecognized failures
classify as broken-config so the raw stderr can be surfaced upstream.

Cache at ~/.gstack/.gbrain-local-status-cache.json keyed on
{home, path_hash, gbrain_bin_path, gbrain_version, config_mtime, config_size}
with 60s TTL. Cache invalidates on any invariant change. --no-cache option
busts the cache for callers that just mutated state (/setup-gbrain,
/sync-gbrain after init/migration).

* refactor(gbrain): rewrite gstack-gbrain-detect bash→TS + add gbrain_local_status field

Replaces the bash detect helper with a bun shebang script sharing the
gbrain_local_status classifier from lib/gbrain-local-status.ts with the
sync orchestrator. Single source of truth for engine-status classification
between preamble-probe and orchestrator-skip paths.

Filename stays gstack-gbrain-detect (no .ts extension) so existing skill
preamble callers shell out unchanged. Shebang `#!/usr/bin/env -S bun run`
resolves bun at runtime.

Output is key/type backward-compatible with the bash version per plan
codex #5: the 9 pre-existing keys (gbrain_on_path, gbrain_version,
gbrain_config_exists, gbrain_engine, gbrain_doctor_ok, gbrain_mcp_mode,
gstack_brain_sync_mode, gstack_brain_git, gstack_artifacts_remote) stay
identical in name + type + value semantics. One new key added:
gbrain_local_status (5-state string enum).

Updates the existing schema regression at test/gstack-gbrain-detect-mcp-mode.test.ts
to include the new key. Adds test/gbrain-detect-shape.test.ts asserting
the regression contract for future changes.

* feat(gbrain): orchestrator SKIP when local engine not ok + remote-http transcripts via artifacts pipeline

Two changes in the sync orchestrator, both per plan D11/D12:

1. bin/gstack-gbrain-sync.ts: runCodeImport + runMemoryIngest call
   localEngineStatus() (shared classifier from lib/gbrain-local-status.ts).
   When status is not 'ok', return a SKIP stage result with a clear reason
   instead of crashing with "source registration failed: gbrain not
   configured". Brain-sync stage runs regardless — it doesn't depend on
   local engine. dry-run preview path is gated above the check so it
   continues to show would-do steps even when the engine is broken.

2. bin/gstack-memory-ingest.ts: when gbrain MCP is registered as
   remote-http (Path 4), persist staged transcripts to
   ~/.gstack/transcripts/run-<pid>-<ts>/ instead of the ephemeral
   ~/.gstack/.staging-ingest-<pid>-<ts>/ tmp dir, and SKIP the local
   `gbrain import` call entirely. The artifacts pipeline (gstack-brain-sync
   push to git, brain admin pulls and indexes) handles routing to the
   remote brain. Local PGLite (when present via Step 4.5) stays code-only.

State recording still happens — prepared pages get their mtime+sha256
stamped under remote-http mode so the next /sync-gbrain doesn't
re-stage them. Cleanup is skipped intentionally so the persisted dir
survives until gstack-brain-sync moves it.

Adds test/gbrain-sync-skip.test.ts covering 5 SKIP scenarios (broken-db,
broken-config, no-cli, missing-config, ok pass-through). All 25
sync-related unit tests pass.

* feat(gbrain): v1.34.0.0 migration notice + transcripts allowlist for artifacts pipeline

Per plan D5 + D11. Two pieces of the split-engine rollout:

1. gstack-upgrade/migrations/v1.34.0.0.sh — prints a one-time
   discoverability notice for existing Path 4 (remote-http MCP) users
   whose machine has no local engine yet. Tells them about /setup-gbrain
   Step 4.5 (the new local-PGLite opt-in). Silent for everyone else.
   User can suppress permanently via `gstack-config set
   local_code_index_offered true`. Touchfile at
   ~/.gstack/.migrations/v1.34.0.0.done makes it idempotent.

2. bin/gstack-artifacts-init — adds `transcripts/run-*/*.md` and
   `transcripts/run-*/**/*.md` to the managed allowlist so the
   gstack-memory-ingest persistent staging dir (used in remote-http
   mode per D11) gets pushed to the artifacts repo. Brain admin's
   pull job then indexes transcripts into the remote brain.
   Privacy class: behavioral (matches transcript content).

Adds test/gstack-upgrade-migration-v1_34_0_0.test.ts with 5 cases:
state match, no-MCP, local-config-present, opt-out, and idempotency.
All 5 pass.

* feat(gbrain): /setup-gbrain Step 1.5/4.5 + /sync-gbrain Step 1.5 templates

Per plan D4, D10, D11, D12. Wires the skill prose to the new
split-engine flow + classifier introduced in earlier commits.

setup-gbrain/SKILL.md.tmpl:
  - Step 1: detect output description now includes the v1.34.0.0
    gbrain_local_status field (5 values).
  - Step 1.5 (NEW): broken-db / broken-config remediation. AskUserQuestion
    with 4 options — Retry / Switch to PGLite / Switch brain mode / Quit
    (plan D4). Retry is recommended first since broken-db often = transient
    Postgres outage. PGLite is explicitly one-way + destructive (moves
    existing config to ~/.gbrain/config.json.gstack-bak-<ts>); rollback on
    init failure restores the .bak (plan D7).
  - Step 4d → Step 4.5 (NEW): in Path 4, after the verify step, offer
    local PGLite for code search. AskUserQuestion Yes/No (plan D10/D11).
    Yes path runs gstack-gbrain-install + `gbrain init --pglite --json`
    with the same rollback-safe sequence. No path skips Steps 3/4/5/7.5.
  - Step 10 verdict (Path 4): adds "Code search" row reflecting Step 4.5
    choice. Updates "Transcripts" row to describe the new D11 routing
    (artifacts repo → remote brain).

sync-gbrain/SKILL.md.tmpl:
  - Step 1 split-engine prose: corrects the prior misleading claim that
    "memory routes through whatever setup-gbrain configured, including
    remote-MCP" (codex finding #3). Memory stage shells out to local
    `gbrain import` in local-stdio mode; in remote-http mode it persists
    to ~/.gstack/transcripts/ for the artifacts pipeline.
  - Step 1.5 (NEW): local-engine pre-flight. STOP on no-cli, broken-config,
    broken-db. Soft skip (continue with code+memory SKIP) on
    missing-config + remote-http per plan D12. Surfaces actionable user
    remediation message instead of the orchestrator crashing two stages
    with ERR.

Regenerated SKILL.md for all hosts (claude, kiro, opencode, slate,
cursor, openclaw, hermes, gbrain). All 712 skill-validation + gen-skill-docs
tests pass.

* test(gbrain): .bak-rollback contract for Step 1.5 / 4.5 init failure path

Per plan D7 (rollback semantics) and codex #10 (rollback scope). The
/setup-gbrain skill instructs the model to follow a specific shell
sequence when running `gbrain init --pglite` against an existing
config:

  1. mv ~/.gbrain/config.json ~/.gbrain/config.json.gstack-bak-<ts>
  2. gbrain init --pglite --json
  3. on non-zero exit: mv .bak back; surface error

This test verifies that contract using a fake `gbrain` binary that
fails on init. Three cases:

  - FAILURE: gbrain init exits non-zero → broken config restored to
    original path, no leftover .bak.
  - SUCCESS: gbrain init exits 0 → new config in place, .bak survives
    for audit (user reviews + deletes manually).
  - SCOPE: any partial PGLite directory at ~/.gbrain/pglite/ is NOT
    auto-cleaned. We only promise to restore config.json; PGLite
    cleanup is the user's call (codex #10).

If the skill template rewrites this sequence in a future change, this
test should fail until the test's shell is updated too. That's the
point — keep the test and the skill template aligned.

* test(gbrain): periodic E2E for /setup-gbrain Path 4 + Step 4.5 Yes flow

End-to-end coverage of the new opt-in question via runAgentSdkTest.
Stubs the MCP endpoint at /tools/list with a 200 response carrying a
fake gbrain v0.32.3.0 serverInfo, and fakes the gbrain + claude CLIs
so init writes a PGLite config and mcp add succeeds. Asserts the model:

  1. invokes gstack-gbrain-install (Step 4.5 Yes branch)
  2. invokes `gbrain init --pglite --json`
  3. writes a working ~/.gbrain/config.json with engine=pglite
  4. registers the remote MCP via `claude mcp add --transport http`
  5. never leaks the bearer token to CLAUDE.md

Classified as periodic-tier per plan D6 (codex #12 flagged AgentSDK
flakiness; gate-tier coverage of the split-engine behavior lives in the
deterministic unit tests at gbrain-local-status.test.ts and
gbrain-sync-skip.test.ts). Touchfile fires the test when the skill
template, install/verify/init helpers, the local-status classifier, or
the agent-sdk-runner harness changes.

* chore(gbrain): bump migration to v1.35.0.0 after main merge

main shipped v1.34.0.0 (factory-export submodule) + v1.34.1.0 (update-check
hardening) while this branch was in flight. The migration file I named
v1.34.0.0.sh now belongs at v1.35.0.0 — the next minor on top of main,
matching the scale of split-engine work (new lib + orchestrator skip +
template overhaul + transcripts routing).

Renames the migration script and its test file; updates all internal
version references in both files. Behavior unchanged.

* perf(gbrain): memoize gbrain resolution + use --fast doctor in detect

Cuts detect's wall time substantially by sharing fork-exec results
between the helper that walks the JSON output and the localEngineStatus
classifier from lib/gbrain-local-status.ts.

Before: detect made 2x `command -v gbrain` calls (one in detect's
detectGbrain, one in the classifier's resolveGbrainBin) and 2x
`gbrain --version` calls. With memoization keyed on PATH, both
collapse to one fork each (~400ms saved per skill preamble).

Also adds `--fast` to the `gbrain doctor --json` call in detect so a
broken-db config (Garry's repro) doesn't burn a full 5s timeout on the
doctor's DB-connection check. The classifier still probes the DB
directly via `gbrain sources list --json` for engine reachability —
that's `gbrain_local_status`, separate from the coarse
`gbrain_doctor_ok` summary flag.

* test(gbrain): relax E2E assertions to smoke-test contract

Per codex #12 (AgentSDK harness is non-deterministic): the E2E now
asserts the model followed the split-engine path WITHOUT requiring a
specific subcommand sequence. Three assertions:

  1. AskUserQuestion was called (model reached interactive branches)
  2. At least one of {gstack-gbrain-install, `gbrain init --pglite`,
     `claude mcp add`} fired (model followed the skill, not a no-op)
  3. The fake bearer token never leaked to CLAUDE.md (security regression)

Deterministic per-step coverage of the same flow lives in the gate-tier
unit tests (gbrain-local-status, gbrain-sync-skip, init-rollback,
upgrade-migration). The E2E exists to catch the "model can't follow
the skill at all" regression class, not to pin the exact tool sequence.

Test passes in 280s against the live Agent SDK.

* test(version): bump CLI smoke-test timeout to 15s (flaky at 5s under load)

The gstack-next-version integration smoke test spawns a child process
that does git operations + sibling-worktree probing. Wall time hovers
4-5s on M-series Macs; flakes at exactly 5001-5002ms when the test
suite runs under load (bun's parallel scheduling). Bumping per-test
timeout to 15s eliminates the flake without changing test logic.

v1.27.0.0 feat: /setup-gbrain Path 4 (remote MCP) + brain → artifacts rename (#1351)
* feat: gstack-gbrain-mcp-verify helper for remote MCP probe

Probes a remote gbrain MCP endpoint with bearer auth. POSTs initialize,
classifies failures into NETWORK / AUTH / MALFORMED with one-line
remediation hints, and runs a tools/list capability probe to detect
sources_add MCP support (forward-compat for when gbrain ships URL ingest).

Token consumed from GBRAIN_MCP_TOKEN env, never argv. Required to set
both 'application/json' AND 'text/event-stream' in Accept; that gotcha
costs 10 minutes of debugging when missed (regression-tested).

Live-verified against wintermute (gbrain v0.27.1).

* feat: gstack-artifacts-init + gstack-artifacts-url helpers

artifacts-init replaces brain-init with provider choice (gh / glab /
manual), per-user gstack-artifacts-$USER repo, HTTPS-canonical storage in
~/.gstack-artifacts-remote.txt, and a "send this to your brain admin"
hookup printout. Always prints the command, never auto-executes — gbrain
v0.26.x has no admin-scope MCP probe (codex Finding #3).

artifacts-url centralizes HTTPS↔SSH/host/owner-repo conversion so callers
don't each string-mangle (codex Finding #10). The remote-conflict check in
artifacts-init compares at the canonical level so re-running with HTTPS
input doesn't trip on a stored SSH URL for the same logical repo.

The "URL form not supported" branch prints a two-line clone-then-path
form for gbrain v0.26.x; the supported branch is a one-liner with --url
ready for when gbrain ships URL ingest.

* feat: extend gstack-gbrain-detect with mcp_mode + artifacts_remote

Adds two new fields to detect's JSON output:

- gbrain_mcp_mode: local-stdio | remote-http | none
  Resolved via 3-tier fallback (codex Finding D3): claude mcp get --json
  → claude mcp list text-grep → ~/.claude.json jq read. If Anthropic moves
  the file format, the first two tiers absorb it.

- gstack_artifacts_remote: HTTPS URL from ~/.gstack-artifacts-remote.txt
  Falls back to ~/.gstack-brain-remote.txt during the v1.27.0.0 migration
  window so detect doesn't return empty between upgrade and migration.

Existing detect tests still pass (15/15). New 19 tests cover every fallback
tier independently, plus a schema regression for /sync-gbrain compat.

* feat: setup-gbrain Path 4 (remote MCP) + artifacts rename

Path 4 lets users paste an HTTPS MCP URL + bearer token and registers it
as an HTTP-transport MCP without needing a local gbrain CLI install. The
flow:

- Step 2 gains a fourth option (Remote gbrain MCP)
- Step 4 adds Path 4 sub-flow: collect URL, secret-read bearer, verify
  via gstack-gbrain-mcp-verify (NETWORK / AUTH / MALFORMED classifier)
- Step 5 (local doctor), Step 7.5 (transcript ingest), Step 5a's stdio
  branch all skip on Path 4
- Step 5a adds an HTTP+bearer registration form: claude mcp add
  --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer ..."
- Step 7 renamed "session memory sync" → "artifacts sync" and now calls
  gstack-artifacts-init (which always prints the brain-admin hookup
  command — no auto-execute, codex Finding #3)
- Step 8 CLAUDE.md block branches: remote-http includes URL + server
  version (never the token); local-stdio keeps engine + config-file
- Step 9 smoke test on Path 4 prints the curl-equivalent for
  post-restart verification (MCP tools aren't visible mid-session)
- Step 10 verdict block has separate templates per mode

Idempotency: re-running with gbrain_mcp_mode=remote-http already in
detect output skips Step 2 entirely and goes to verification.

* refactor: rename gbrain_sync_mode → artifacts_sync_mode (v1.27.0.0 prep)

Hard rename, no dual-read alias (codex Finding D4). The on-disk migration
script (Phase C, separate commit) renames the config key in users'
~/.gstack/config.yaml and any CLAUDE.md blocks.

Touched call sites:
- bin/gstack-config defaults + validation + list/defaults output
- bin/gstack-gbrain-detect (gstack_brain_sync_mode field still emitted
  with the same name for downstream-tool compat; reads new key)
- bin/gstack-brain-sync, bin/gstack-brain-enqueue, bin/gstack-brain-uninstall
- bin/gstack-timeline-log (comment ref)
- scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-brain-sync-block.ts: renames key,
  branches on gbrain_mcp_mode=remote-http to emit "ARTIFACTS_SYNC:
  remote-mode (managed by brain server <host>)" instead of the local
  mode/queue/last_push line (codex Finding #11)
- bin/gstack-brain-restore + bin/gstack-gbrain-source-wireup: read
  ~/.gstack-artifacts-remote.txt with ~/.gstack-brain-remote.txt fallback
  during the migration window
- bin/gstack-artifacts-init: tolerant of unrecognized URL forms (local
  paths, file://, self-hosted gitea) so test infrastructure and unusual
  remotes work without canonicalization
- test/brain-sync.test.ts: gstack-brain-init → gstack-artifacts-init
- test/skill-e2e-brain-privacy-gate.test.ts: artifacts_sync_mode keys
- test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts: budget 35K → 36.5K for the new MCP-mode
  probe in the preamble resolver
- health/SKILL.md.tmpl, sync-gbrain/SKILL.md.tmpl: comment + verdict line

Hard delete:
- bin/gstack-brain-init (replaced by bin/gstack-artifacts-init in v1.27.0.0)
- test/gstack-brain-init-gh-mock.test.ts (replaced by gstack-artifacts-init.test.ts)

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files after artifacts-sync rename

Mechanical regen via \`bun run gen:skill-docs --host all\`. All */SKILL.md
files reflect the renamed config key (gbrain_sync_mode →
artifacts_sync_mode), the renamed remote-helper file
(~/.gstack-artifacts-remote.txt with brain fallback), the renamed init
script (gstack-artifacts-init), and the new ARTIFACTS_SYNC: remote-mode
status line that fires when a remote-http MCP is registered.

Golden fixtures (test/fixtures/golden/*-ship-SKILL.md) refreshed to match
the regenerated default-ship output.

* feat: v1.27.0.0 migration — gstack-brain → gstack-artifacts rename

Journaled, interruption-safe migration. Six steps, each writes to
~/.gstack/.migrations/v1.27.0.0.journal on success; re-entry resumes
from the next un-done step. On final success, journal is replaced by
~/.gstack/.migrations/v1.27.0.0.done.

Steps:
1. gh_repo_renamed       gh/glab repo rename gstack-brain-$USER →
                         gstack-artifacts-$USER (idempotent: detects
                         already-renamed and skips)
2. remote_txt_renamed    mv ~/.gstack-brain-remote.txt → artifacts file,
                         rewriting URL path to match the new repo name
3. config_key_renamed    sed -i in ~/.gstack/config.yaml flips
                         gbrain_sync_mode → artifacts_sync_mode
4. claude_md_block       sed flips "- Memory sync:" → "- Artifacts sync:"
                         in cwd CLAUDE.md and ~/.gstack/CLAUDE.md
5. sources_swapped       gbrain sources add NEW (verify) → remove OLD
                         (codex Finding #6: add-before-remove ordering,
                         no downtime window). On remote-MCP mode, prints
                         commands for the brain admin instead of executing.
6. done                  touchfile + delete journal

User opt-out: any "n" or "skip-for-now" answer at the initial prompt
writes a marker file that prevents re-prompting; user can re-invoke
via /setup-gbrain --rerun-migration.

11 unit tests cover: nothing-to-migrate, GitHub happy path, idempotent
re-run, journal-resume mid-flight, remote-MCP print-only path,
add-before-remove ordering verification, add-fail → old source stays
registered, CLAUDE.md field rewrite.

* test: regression suite + E2E for v1.27.0.0 rename

Three new regression tests guard the rename's blast radius (per codex
Findings #1, #8, #9, #12):

- test/no-stale-gstack-brain-refs.test.ts: greps bin/, scripts/, *.tmpl,
  test/ for forbidden identifiers (gstack-brain-init, gbrain_sync_mode);
  fails CI if any non-allowlisted file references them.
- test/post-rename-doc-regen.test.ts: confirms gen-skill-docs output has
  no stale references in any */SKILL.md (the cross-product blind spot).
- test/setup-gbrain-path4-structure.test.ts: structural lint over the
  Path 4 prose contract — STOP gates after verify failure, never-write-
  token rules, mode-aware CLAUDE.md block, bearer always via env-var.

Two new gate-tier E2E tests (deterministic stub HTTP server, fixed inputs):

- test/skill-e2e-setup-gbrain-remote.test.ts: Path 4 happy path. Stubs
  an HTTP MCP server, drives the skill via Agent SDK with a stubbed
  bearer, asserts claude.json gets the http MCP entry, CLAUDE.md gets
  the remote-http block, the secret token NEVER leaks to CLAUDE.md.
- test/skill-e2e-setup-gbrain-bad-token.test.ts: stub server returns 401;
  asserts the AUTH classifier hint surfaces, no MCP registration occurs,
  CLAUDE.md is unchanged. Regression guard for the "verify failed → STOP"
  rule.

touchfiles.ts: setup-gbrain-remote and setup-gbrain-bad-token added at
gate-tier so CI catches Path 4 regressions on every PR.

Plus a few comment refs flipped: bin/gstack-jsonl-merge, bin/gstack-timeline-log
(legacy gstack-brain-init mentions in headers).

* release: v1.27.0.0 — /setup-gbrain Path 4 + brain → artifacts rename

Bumps VERSION 1.26.4.0 → 1.27.0.0 (MINOR per CLAUDE.md scale-aware bump
guidance: ~1500 line net change including a new path in /setup-gbrain,
two new bin helpers, a journaled migration, 59 new tests, and a config
key rename across the codebase).

CHANGELOG entry covers: Path 4 (Remote MCP) end-to-end, the brain →
artifacts rename, the journaled migration, the verify-helper error
classifier, the artifacts-init multi-host provider choice. Includes
the canonical Garry-voice headline + numbers table + audience close
per the release-summary format.

* test: demote setup-gbrain Path 4 E2E to periodic-tier

The Agent SDK E2E tests for Path 4 (skill-e2e-setup-gbrain-remote and
skill-e2e-setup-gbrain-bad-token) are inherently non-deterministic —
the model interprets "follow Path 4 only" prompts flexibly and can
skip Step 8 (CLAUDE.md write) or shortcut past the verify helper, which
makes the gate-tier assertions flaky.

The deterministic gate coverage for Path 4 is in
test/setup-gbrain-path4-structure.test.ts: a fast structural lint that
catches AUQ-pacing regressions and prose contract drift in <200ms with
zero token spend. That test is the right tool for catching the failure
mode the gate-tier was meant to guard against.

The Agent SDK E2E tests stay available on-demand for periodic-tier runs
(EVALS=1 EVALS_TIER=periodic bun test test/skill-e2e-setup-gbrain-*.test.ts).
Also tightened the verify-error assertion to the literal field shape
("error_class": "AUTH") instead of a substring match that false-matches
the parent claude session's "needs-auth" MCP discovery markers.

* chore: sync package.json version to 1.27.0.0

VERSION was bumped to 1.27.0.0 in f6ec11eb but package.json was not
updated in the same commit. The gen-skill-docs.test.ts assertion
"package.json version matches VERSION file" caught the drift.

This is the DRIFT_STALE_PKG case the /ship Step 12 idempotency check
is designed for; the fix is the documented sync-only repair (no
re-bump, package.json synced to existing VERSION).
