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.

* fix(resolvers): stop env-var hosts from doubling $HOME in the binary fallback path

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()
in scripts/resolvers/types.ts expands ~ to $HOME and passes absolute
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
the loop's last tick and the daemon becoming ready — the CLI reported
"Server failed to start within Ns" while the very next `browse status`
showed a healthy server. Add a final readState()+isServerHealthy() re-check

* 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.

failing step. Map them through with the same bounded-length sanitization as
error_class (500/100 chars). The completion-status resolver now also passes
--error-message/--failed-step in the generated skill telemetry block, with
instructions to leave them empty on success.

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

Cached identity now wins, with one precise exception: when the cached value

root, the entry came from the pre-walk-up subdirectory bug (#1125) and is
recomputed. All four slug contracts pass together (repo-mode #2212,

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

security: tunnel dual-listener + SSRF + envelope + path wave (v1.6.0.0) (#1137)
* refactor(security): loosen /connect rate limit from 3/min to 300/min

Setup keys are 24 random bytes (unbruteforceable), so a tight rate limit
does not meaningfully prevent key guessing. It exists only to cap
bandwidth, CPU, and log-flood damage from someone who discovered the
ngrok URL. A legitimate pair-agent session hits /connect once; 300/min
is 60x that pattern and never hit accidentally.

3/min caused pairing to fail on any retry flow (network blip, second
paired client) with no upside. Per-IP tracking was considered and
rejected — adds a bounded Map + LRU for defense already adequate at the
global layer.

* feat(security): add tunnel-denial-log module for attack visibility

Append-only log of tunnel-surface auth denials to
~/.gstack/security/attempts.jsonl. Gives operators visibility into who
is probing tunneled daemons so the next security wave can be driven by
real attack data instead of speculation.

Design notes:
- Async via fs.promises.appendFile. Never appendFileSync — blocking the
  event loop on every denial during a flood is what an attacker wants
  (prior learning: sync-audit-log-io, 10/10 confidence).
- In-process rate cap at 60 writes/minute globally. Excess denials are
  counted in memory but not written to disk — prevents disk DoS.
- Writes to the same ~/.gstack/security/attempts.jsonl used by the
  prompt-injection attempt log. File rotation is handled by the existing
  security pipeline (10MB, 5 generations).

No consumers in this commit; wired up in the dual-listener refactor that
follows.

* feat(security): dual-listener tunnel architecture

The /health endpoint leaked AUTH_TOKEN to any caller that hit the ngrok
URL (spoofing chrome-extension:// origin, or catching headed mode).
Surfaced by @garagon in PR #1026; the original fix was header-inference
on the single port. Codex's outside-voice review during /plan-ceo-review
called that approach brittle (ngrok header behavior could change, local
proxies would false-positive), and pushed for the structural fix.

This is that fix. Stop making /health a root-token bootstrap endpoint on
any surface the tunnel can reach. The server now binds two HTTP
listeners when a tunnel is active. The local listener (extension, CLI,
sidebar) stays on 127.0.0.1 and is never exposed to ngrok. ngrok
forwards only to the tunnel listener, which serves only /connect
(unauth, rate-limited) and /command with a locked allowlist of
browser-driving commands. Security property comes from physical port
separation, not from header inference — a tunnel caller cannot reach
/health or /cookie-picker or /inspector because they live on a
different TCP socket.

What this commit adds to browse/src/server.ts:
  * Surface type ('local' | 'tunnel') and TUNNEL_PATHS +
    TUNNEL_COMMANDS allowlists near the top of the file.
  * makeFetchHandler(surface) factory replacing the single fetch arrow;
    closure-captures the surface so the filter that runs before route
    dispatch knows which socket accepted the request.
  * Tunnel filter at dispatch entry: 404s anything not on TUNNEL_PATHS,
    403s root-token bearers with a clear pairing hint, 401s non-/connect
    requests that lack a scoped token. Every denial is logged via
    logTunnelDenial (from tunnel-denial-log).
  * GET /connect alive probe (unauth on both surfaces) so /pair and
    /tunnel/start can detect dead ngrok tunnels without reaching
    /health — /health is no longer tunnel-reachable.
  * Lazy tunnel listener lifecycle. /tunnel/start binds a dedicated
    Bun.serve on an ephemeral port, points ngrok.forward at THAT port
    (not the local port), hard-fails on bind error (no local fallback),
    tears down cleanly on ngrok failure. BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 startup uses
    the same pattern.
  * closeTunnel() helper — single teardown path for both the ngrok
    listener and the tunnel Bun.serve listener.
  * resolveNgrokAuthtoken() helper — shared authtoken lookup across
    /tunnel/start and BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 startup (was duplicated).
  * TUNNEL_COMMANDS check in /command dispatch: on the tunnel surface,
    commands outside the allowlist return 403 with a list of allowed
    commands as a hint.
  * Probe paths in /pair and /tunnel/start migrated from /health to
    GET /connect — the only unauth path reachable on the tunnel surface
    under the new architecture.

Test updates in browse/test/server-auth.test.ts:
  * /pair liveness-verify test: assert via closeTunnel() helper instead
    of the inline `tunnelActive = false; tunnelUrl = null` lines that
    the helper subsumes.
  * /tunnel/start cached-tunnel test: same closeTunnel() adaptation.

Credit
  Derived from PR #1026 by @garagon — thanks for flagging the critical
  bug that drove the architectural rewrite. The per-request
  isTunneledRequest approach from #1026 is superseded by physical port
  separation here; the underlying report remains the root cause for the
  entire v1.6.0.0 wave.

23 source-level assertions that keep future contributors from silently
widening the tunnel surface during a routine refactor. Covers:

  * Surface type + tunnelServer state variable shape
  * TUNNEL_PATHS is a closed set of /connect, /command, /sidebar-chat
    (and NOT /health, /welcome, /cookie-picker, /inspector/*, /pair,
    /token, /refs, /activity/stream, /tunnel/{start,stop})
  * TUNNEL_COMMANDS includes browser-driving ops only (and NOT
    launch-browser, tunnel-start, token-mint, cookie-import, etc.)
  * makeFetchHandler(surface) factory exists and is wired to both
    listeners with the correct surface parameter
  * Tunnel filter runs BEFORE any route dispatch, with 404/403/401
    responses and logged denials for each reason
  * GET /connect returns {alive: true} unauth
  * /command dispatch enforces TUNNEL_COMMANDS on tunnel surface
  * closeTunnel() helper tears down ngrok + Bun.serve listener
  * /tunnel/start binds on ephemeral port, points ngrok at TUNNEL_PORT
    (not local port), hard-fails on bind error (no fallback), probes
    cached tunnel via GET /connect (not /health), tears down on
    ngrok.forward failure
  * BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 startup uses the dual-listener pattern
  * logTunnelDenial wired for all three denial reasons
  * /connect rate limit is 300/min, not 3/min

All 23 tests pass. Behavioral integration tests (spawn subprocess, real
network) live in the E2E suite that lands later in this wave.

* security: gate download + scrape through validateNavigationUrl (SSRF)

The `goto` command was correctly wired through validateNavigationUrl,
but `download` and `scrape` called page.request.fetch(url, ...) directly.
A caller with the default write scope could hit the /command endpoint
and ask the daemon to fetch http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/
(AWS IMDSv1) or the GCP/Azure/internal equivalents. The response body
comes back as base64 or lands on disk where GET /file serves it.

Fix: call validateNavigationUrl(url) immediately before each
page.request.fetch() call site in download and in the scrape loop.
Same blocklist that already protects `goto`: file://, javascript:,
data:, chrome://, cloud metadata (IPv4 all encodings, IPv6 ULA,
metadata.*.internal).

Tests: extend browse/test/url-validation.test.ts with a source-level
guard that walks every `await page.request.fetch(` call site and
asserts a validateNavigationUrl call precedes it within the same
branch. Regression trips before code review if a future refactor
drops the gate.

* security: route splitForScoped through envelope sentinel escape

The scoped-token snapshot path in snapshot.ts built its untrusted
block by pushing the raw accessibility-tree lines between the literal
`═══ BEGIN UNTRUSTED WEB CONTENT ═══` / `═══ END UNTRUSTED WEB CONTENT ═══`
sentinels. The full-page wrap path in content-security.ts already
applied a zero-width-space escape on those exact strings to prevent
sentinel injection, but the scoped path skipped it.

Net effect: a page whose rendered text contains the literal sentinel
can close the envelope early from inside untrusted content and forge
a fake "trusted" block for the LLM. That includes fabricating
interactive `@eN` references the agent will act on.

Fix:
  * Extract the zero-width-space escape into a named, exported helper
    `escapeEnvelopeSentinels(content)` in content-security.ts.
  * Have `wrapUntrustedPageContent` call it (behavior unchanged on
    that path — same bytes out).
  * Import the helper in snapshot.ts and map it over `untrustedLines`
    in the `splitForScoped` branch before pushing the BEGIN sentinel.

Tests: add a describe block in content-security.test.ts that covers
  * `escapeEnvelopeSentinels` defuses BEGIN and END markers;
  * `escapeEnvelopeSentinels` leaves normal text untouched;
  * `wrapUntrustedPageContent` still emits exactly one real envelope
    pair when hostile content contains forged sentinels;
  * snapshot.ts imports the helper;
  * the scoped-snapshot branch calls `escapeEnvelopeSentinels` before
    pushing the BEGIN sentinel (source-level regression — if a future
    refactor reorders this, the test trips).

* security: extend hidden-element detection to all DOM-reading channels

The Confusion Protocol envelope wrap (`wrapUntrustedPageContent`)
covers every scoped PAGE_CONTENT_COMMAND, but the hidden-element
ARIA-injection detection layer only ran for `text`. Other DOM-reading
channels (html, links, forms, accessibility, attrs, data, media,
ux-audit) returned their output through the envelope with no hidden-
content filter, so a page serving a display:none div that instructs
the agent to disregard prior system messages, or an aria-label that
claims to put the LLM in admin mode, leaked the injection payload on
any non-text channel. The envelope alone does not mitigate this, and
the page itself never rendered the hostile content to the human
operator.

Fix:
  * New export `DOM_CONTENT_COMMANDS` in commands.ts — the subset of
    PAGE_CONTENT_COMMANDS that derives its output from the live DOM.
    Console and dialog stay out; they read separate runtime state.
  * server.ts runs `markHiddenElements` + `cleanupHiddenMarkers` for
    every scoped command in this set. `text` keeps its existing
    `getCleanTextWithStripping` path (hidden elements physically
    stripped before the read). All other channels keep their output
    format but emit flagged elements as CONTENT WARNINGS on the
    envelope, so the LLM sees what it would otherwise have consumed
    silently.
  * Hidden-element descriptions merge into `combinedWarnings`
    alongside content-filter warnings before the wrap call.

Tests: new describe block in content-security.test.ts covering
  * `DOM_CONTENT_COMMANDS` export shape and channel membership;
  * dispatch gates on `DOM_CONTENT_COMMANDS.has(command)`, not the
    literal `text` string;
  * hiddenContentWarnings plumbs into `combinedWarnings` and reaches
    wrapUntrustedPageContent;
  * DOM_CONTENT_COMMANDS is a strict subset of PAGE_CONTENT_COMMANDS.

Existing datamarking, envelope wrap, centralized-wrapping, and chain
security suites stay green (52 pass, 0 fail).

* security: validate --from-file payload paths for parity with direct paths

The direct `load-html <file>` path runs every caller-supplied file path
through validateReadPath() so reads stay confined to SAFE_DIRECTORIES
(cwd, TEMP_DIR). The `load-html --from-file <payload.json>` shortcut
and its sibling `pdf --from-file <payload.json>` skipped that check and
went straight to fs.readFileSync(). An MCP caller that picks the
payload path (or any caller whose payload argument is reachable from
attacker-influenced text) could use --from-file as a read-anywhere
escape hatch for the safe-dirs policy.

Fix: call validateReadPath(path.resolve(payloadPath)) before readFileSync
at both sites. Error surface mirrors the direct-path branch so ops and
agent errors stay consistent.

Test coverage in browse/test/from-file-path-validation.test.ts:
  - source-level: validateReadPath precedes readFileSync in the load-html
    --from-file branch (write-commands.ts) and the pdf --from-file parser
    (meta-commands.ts)
  - error-message parity: both sites reference SAFE_DIRECTORIES

Related security audit pattern: R3 F002 (validateNavigationUrl gap on
download/scrape) and R3 F008 (markHiddenElements gap on 10 DOM commands)
were the same shape — a defense that existed on the primary code path
but not its shortcut sibling. This PR closes the same class of gap on
the --from-file shortcuts.

* fix(design): escape url.origin when injecting into served HTML

serve.ts injected url.origin into a single-quoted JS string in
the response body. A local request with a crafted Host header
(e.g. Host: "evil'-alert(1)-'x") would break out of the string
and execute JS in the 127.0.0.1:<port> origin opened by the
design board. Low severity — bound to localhost, requires a
local attacker — but no reason not to escape.

Fix: JSON.stringify(url.origin) produces a properly quoted,
escaped JS string literal in one call.

Also includes Prettier reformatting (single→double quotes,
trailing commas, line wrapping) applied by the repo's
PostToolUse formatter hook. Security change is the one line
in the HTML injection; everything else is whitespace/style.

* fix(scripts): drop shell:true from slop-diff npx invocations

spawnSync('npx', [...], { shell: true }) invokes /bin/sh -c
with the args concatenated, subjecting them to shell parsing
(word splitting, glob expansion, metacharacter interpretation).
No user input reaches these calls today, so not exploitable —
but the posture is wrong: npx + shell args should be direct.

Fix: scope shell:true to process.platform === 'win32' where
npx is actually a .cmd requiring the shell. POSIX runs the
npx binary directly with array-form args.

Also includes Prettier reformatting (single→double quotes,
trailing commas, line wrapping) applied by the repo's
PostToolUse formatter hook. Security-relevant change is just
the two shell:true -> shell: process.platform === 'win32'
lines; everything else is whitespace/style.

* security(E3): gate GSTACK_SLUG on /welcome path traversal

The /welcome handler interpolates GSTACK_SLUG directly into the filesystem
path used to locate the project-local welcome page. Without validation, a
slug like "../../etc/passwd" would resolve to
~/.gstack/projects/../../etc/passwd/designs/welcome-page-20260331/finalized.html
— classic path traversal.

Not exploitable today: GSTACK_SLUG is set by the gstack CLI at daemon launch,
and an attacker would already need local env-var access to poison it. But
the gate is one regex (^[a-z0-9_-]+$), and a defense-in-depth pass costs us
nothing when the cost of being wrong is arbitrary file read via /welcome.

Fall back to the safe 'unknown' literal when the slug fails validation —
same fallback the code already uses when GSTACK_SLUG is unset. No behavior
change for legitimate slugs (they all match the regex).

* security(N1): replace ?token= SSE auth with HttpOnly session cookie

Activity stream and inspector events SSE endpoints accepted the root
AUTH_TOKEN via `?token=` query param (EventSource can't send Authorization
headers). URLs leak to browser history, referer headers, server logs,
crash reports, and refactoring accidents. Codex flagged this during the
/plan-ceo-review outside voice pass.

New auth model: the extension calls POST /sse-session with a Bearer token
and receives a view-only session cookie (HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict, 30-min
TTL). EventSource is opened with `withCredentials: true` so the browser
sends the cookie back on the SSE connection. The ?token= query param is
GONE — no more URL-borne secrets.

Scope isolation (prior learning cookie-picker-auth-isolation, 10/10
confidence): the SSE session cookie grants access to /activity/stream and
/inspector/events ONLY. The token is never valid against /command, /token,
or any mutating endpoint. A leaked cookie can watch activity; it cannot
execute browser commands.

Components
  * browse/src/sse-session-cookie.ts — registry: mint/validate/extract/
    build-cookie. 256-bit tokens, 30-min TTL, lazy expiry pruning,
    no imports from token-registry (scope isolation enforced by module
    boundary).
  * browse/src/server.ts — POST /sse-session mint endpoint (requires
    Bearer). /activity/stream and /inspector/events now accept Bearer
    OR the session cookie, and reject ?token= query param.
  * extension/sidepanel.js — ensureSseSessionCookie() bootstrap call,
    EventSource opened with withCredentials:true on both SSE endpoints.
    Tested via the source guards; behavioral test is the E2E pairing
    flow that lands later in the wave.
  * browse/test/sse-session-cookie.test.ts — 20 unit tests covering
    mint entropy, TTL enforcement, cookie flag invariants, cookie
    parsing from multi-cookie headers, and scope-isolation contract
    guard (module must not import token-registry).
  * browse/test/server-auth.test.ts — existing /activity/stream auth
    test updated to assert the new cookie-based gate and the absence
    of the ?token= query param.

Cookie flag choices:
  * HttpOnly: token not readable from page JS (mitigates XSS
    exfiltration).
  * SameSite=Strict: cookie not sent on cross-site requests (mitigates
    CSRF). Fine for SSE because the extension connects to 127.0.0.1
    directly.
  * Path=/: cookie scoped to the whole origin.
  * Max-Age=1800: 30 minutes, matches TTL. Extension re-mints on
    reconnect when daemon restarts.
  * Secure NOT set: daemon binds to 127.0.0.1 over plain HTTP. Adding
    Secure would block the browser from ever sending the cookie back.
    Add Secure when gstack ships over HTTPS.

* security(N2): document Windows v20 ABE elevation path on CDP port

The existing comment around the cookie-import-browser --remote-debugging-port
launch claimed "threat model: no worse than baseline." That's wrong on
Windows with App-Bound Encryption v20. A same-user local process that
opens the cookie SQLite DB directly CANNOT decrypt v20 values (DPAPI
context is bound to the browser process). The CDP port lets them bypass
that: connect to the debug port, call Network.getAllCookies inside Chrome,
walk away with decrypted v20 cookies.

The correct fix is to switch from TCP --remote-debugging-port to
--remote-debugging-pipe so the CDP transport is a stdio pipe, not a
socket. That requires restructuring the CDP WebSocket client in this
module and Playwright doesn't expose the pipe transport out of the box.
Non-trivial, deferred from the v1.6.0.0 wave.

This commit updates the comment to correctly describe the threat and
points at the tracking issue. No code change to the launch itself.
Follow-up: #1136.

* docs(E2): document dual-listener tunnel architecture in ARCHITECTURE.md

Adds an explicit per-endpoint disposition table to the Security model
section, covering the v1.6.0.0 dual-listener refactor. Every HTTP
endpoint now has a documented local-vs-tunnel answer. Future audits
(and future contributors wondering "is it safe to add X to the tunnel
surface?") can read this instead of reverse-engineering server.ts.

Also documents:
  * Why physical port separation beats per-request header inference
    (ngrok behavior drift, local proxies can forge headers, etc.)
  * Tunnel surface denial logging → ~/.gstack/security/attempts.jsonl
  * SSE session cookie model (gstack_sse, 30-min TTL, stream-scope only,
    module-boundary-enforced scope isolation)
  * N2 non-goal for Windows v20 ABE via CDP port (tracking #1136)

No code changes.

* test(E1): end-to-end pair-agent flow against a spawned daemon

Spawns the browse daemon as a subprocess with BROWSE_HEADLESS_SKIP=1 so
the HTTP layer runs without a real browser.  Exercises:

  * GET /health — token delivery for chrome-extension origin, withheld
    otherwise (the F1 + PR #1026 invariant)
  * GET /connect — alive probe returns {alive:true} unauth
  * POST /pair — root Bearer required (403 without), returns setup_key
  * POST /connect — setup_key exchange mints a distinct scoped token
  * POST /command — 401 without auth
  * POST /sse-session — Bearer required, Set-Cookie has HttpOnly +
    SameSite=Strict (the N1 invariant)
  * GET /activity/stream — 401 without auth
  * GET /activity/stream?token= — 401 (the old ?token= query param is
    REJECTED, which is the whole point of N1)
  * GET /welcome — serves HTML, does not leak /etc/passwd content under
    the default 'unknown' slug (E3 regex gate)

12 behavioral tests, ~220ms end-to-end, no network dependencies, no
ngrok, no real browser.  This is the receipt for the wave's central
'pair-agent still works + the security boundary holds' claim.

Tunnel-port binding (/tunnel/start) is deliberately NOT exercised here
— it requires an ngrok authtoken and live network.  The dual-listener
route allowlist is covered by source-level guards in
dual-listener.test.ts; behavioral tunnel testing belongs in a separate
paid-evals harness.

* release(v1.6.0.0): bump VERSION + CHANGELOG for security wave

Architectural bump, not patch: dual-listener HTTP refactor changes the
daemon's tunnel-exposure model.  See CHANGELOG for the full release
summary (~950 words) covering the five root causes this wave closes:

  1. /health token leak over ngrok (F1 + E3 + test infra)
  2. /cookie-picker + /inspector exposed over the tunnel (F1)
  3. ?token=<ROOT> in SSE URLs leaking to logs/referer/history (N1)
  4. /welcome GSTACK_SLUG path traversal (E3)
  5. Windows v20 ABE elevation via CDP port (N2 — documented non-goal,
     tracked as #1136)

Plus the base PRs: SSRF gate (#1029), envelope sentinel escape (#1031),
DOM-channel hidden-element coverage (#1032), --from-file path validation
(#1103), and 2 commits from #1073 (@theqazi).

VERSION + package.json bumped to 1.6.0.0.  CHANGELOG entry covers
credits (@garagon, @Hybirdss, @HMAKT99, @theqazi), review lineage (CEO
→ Codex outside voice → Eng), and the non-goal tracking issue.

* fix: pre-landing review findings (4 auto-fixes)

Addresses 4 findings from the Claude adversarial subagent on the
v1.6.0.0 security wave diff.  No user-visible behavior change; all
are defense-in-depth hardening of newly-introduced code.

1. GET /connect rate-limited (was POST-only) [HIGH conf 8/10]
   Attacker discovering the ngrok URL could probe unlimited GETs for
   daemon enumeration.  Now shares the global /connect counter.

2. ngrok listener leak on tunnel startup failure [MEDIUM conf 8/10]
   If ngrok.forward() resolved but tunnelListener.url() or the
   state-file write threw, the Bun listener was torn down but the
   ngrok session was leaked.  Fixed in BOTH /tunnel/start and
   BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 startup paths.

3. GSTACK_SKILL_ROOT path-traversal gate [MEDIUM conf 8/10]
   Symmetric with E3's GSTACK_SLUG regex gate — reject values
   containing '..' before interpolating into the welcome-page path.

4. SSE session registry pruning [LOW conf 7/10]
   pruneExpired() only checked 10 entries per mint call.  Now runs
   on every validate too, checks 20 entries, with a hard 10k cap as
   backstop.  Prevents registry growth under sustained extension
   reconnect pressure.

Tests remain green (56/56 in sse-session-cookie + dual-listener +
pair-agent-e2e suites).

* docs: update project documentation for v1.6.0.0

Reflect the dual-listener tunnel architecture, SSE session cookies,
SSRF guards, and Windows v20 ABE non-goal across the three docs
users actually read for remote-agent and browser auth context:

- docs/REMOTE_BROWSER_ACCESS.md: rewrote Architecture diagram for
  dual listeners, fixed /connect rate limit (3/min → 300/min),
  removed stale "/health requires no auth" (now 404 on tunnel),
  added SSE cookie auth, expanded Security Model with tunnel
  allowlist, SSRF guards, /welcome path traversal defense, and
  the Windows v20 ABE tracking note.
- BROWSER.md: added dual-listener paragraph to Authentication and
  linked to ARCHITECTURE.md endpoint table. Replaced the stale
  ?token= SSE auth note with the HttpOnly gstack_sse cookie flow.
- CLAUDE.md: added Transport-layer security section above the
  sidebar prompt-injection stack so contributors editing server.ts,
  sse-session-cookie.ts, or tunnel-denial-log.ts see the load-bearing
  module boundaries before touching them.

* fix(make-pdf): write --from-file payload to /tmp, not os.tmpdir()

make-pdf's browseClient wrote its --from-file payload to os.tmpdir(),
which is /var/folders/... on macOS. v1.6.0.0's PR #1103 cherry-pick
tightened browse load-html --from-file to validate against the
safe-dirs allowlist ([TEMP_DIR, cwd] where TEMP_DIR is '/tmp' on
macOS/Linux, os.tmpdir() on Windows). This closed a CLI/API parity
gap but broke make-pdf on macOS because /var/folders/... is outside
the allowlist.

Fix: mirror browse's TEMP_DIR convention — use '/tmp' on non-Windows,
os.tmpdir() on Windows. The make-pdf-gate CI failure on macOS-latest
(run 72440797490) is caused by exactly this: the payload file was
rejected by validateReadPath.

Verified locally: the combined-gate e2e test now passes after
rebuilding make-pdf/dist/pdf.

* fix(sidebar): killAgent resets per-tab state; align tests with current agent event format

Two pre-existing bugs surfaced while running the full e2e suite on the
sec-wave branch.  Both pre-date v1.6.0.0 (same failures on main at
e23ff280) but blocked the ship verification, so fixing now.

### Bug 1: killAgent leaked stale per-tab state

`killAgent()` reset the legacy globals (agentProcess, agentStatus,
etc.) but never touched the per-tab `tabAgents` Map.  Meanwhile
`/sidebar-command` routes on `tabState.status` from that Map, not the
legacy globals.  Consequence: after a kill (including the implicit
kill in `/sidebar-session/new`), the next /sidebar-command on the
same tab saw `tabState.status === 'processing'` and fell into the
queue branch, silently NOT spawning an agent.  Integration tests that
called resetState between cases all failed with empty queues.

Fix: when targetTabId is supplied, reset that one tab's state; when
called without a tab (session-new, full kill), reset ALL tab states.
Matches the semantic boundary already used for the cancel-file write.

### Bug 2: sidebar-integration tests drifted from current event format

`agent events appear in /sidebar-chat` posted the raw Claude streaming
format (`{type: 'assistant', message: {content: [...]}}`) but
`processAgentEvent` in server.ts only handles the simplified types
that sidebar-agent.ts pre-processes into (text, text_delta, tool_use,
result, agent_error, security_event).  The architecture moved
pre-processing into sidebar-agent.ts at some point and this test
never got updated.  Fixed by sending the pre-processed `{type:
'text', text: '...'}` format — which is actually what the server sees
in production.

Also removed the `entry.prompt` URL-containment check in the
queue-write test.  The URL is carried on entry.pageUrl (metadata) by
design: the system prompt tells Claude to run `browse url` to fetch
the actual page rather than trust any URL in the prompt body.  That's
the URL-based prompt-injection defense.  The prompt SHOULD NOT
contain the URL, so the test assertion was wrong for the current
security posture.

### Verification

- `bun test browse/test/sidebar-integration.test.ts` → 13/13 pass
  (was 6/13 on both main and branch before this commit)
- Full `bun run test` → exit 0, zero fail markers
- No behavior change for production sidebar flows: killAgent was
  already supposed to return the agent to idle; it just wasn't fully
  doing so.  Per-tab reset now matches the documented semantics.

feat: content security — 4-layer prompt injection defense for pair-agent (#815)
* feat: token registry for multi-agent browser access

Per-agent scoped tokens with read/write/admin/meta command categories,
domain glob restrictions, rate limiting, expiry, and revocation. Setup
key exchange for the /pair-agent ceremony (5-min one-time key → 24h
session token). Idempotent exchange handles tunnel drops. 39 tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: integrate token registry + scoped auth into browse server

Server changes for multi-agent browser access:
- /connect endpoint: setup key exchange for /pair-agent ceremony
- /token endpoint: root-only minting of scoped sub-tokens
- /token/:clientId DELETE: revoke agent tokens
- /agents endpoint: list connected agents (root-only)
- /health: strips root token when tunnel is active (P0 security fix)
- /command: scope/rate/domain checks via token registry before dispatch
- Idle timer skips shutdown when tunnel is active

* feat: ngrok tunnel integration + @ngrok/ngrok dependency

BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 env var starts an ngrok tunnel after Bun.serve().
Reads NGROK_AUTHTOKEN from env or ~/.gstack/ngrok.env. Reads
NGROK_DOMAIN for dedicated domain (stable URL). Updates state
file with tunnel URL. Feasibility spike confirmed: SDK works in
compiled Bun binary.

* feat: tab isolation for multi-agent browser access

Add per-tab ownership tracking to BrowserManager. Scoped agents
must create their own tab via newtab before writing. Unowned tabs
(pre-existing, user-opened) are root-only for writes. Read access
always allowed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: tab enforcement + POST /pair endpoint + activity attribution

Server-side tab ownership check blocks scoped agents from writing to
unowned tabs. Special-case newtab records ownership for scoped tokens.
POST /pair endpoint creates setup keys for the pairing ceremony.
Activity events now include clientId for attribution.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: pair-agent CLI command + instruction block generator

One command to pair a remote agent: $B pair-agent. Creates a setup
key via POST /pair, prints a copy-pasteable instruction block with
curl commands. Smart tunnel fallback (tunnel URL > auto-start >
localhost). Flags: --for HOST, --local HOST, --admin, --client NAME.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: tab isolation + instruction block generator tests

14 tests covering tab ownership lifecycle (access checks, unowned
tabs, transferTab) and instruction block generator (scopes, URLs,
admin flag, troubleshooting section). Fix server-auth test that
used fragile sliceBetween boundaries broken by new endpoints.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.15.9.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: CSO security fixes — token leak, domain bypass, input validation

1. Remove root token from /health endpoint entirely (CSO #1 CRITICAL).
   Origin header is spoofable. Extension reads from ~/.gstack/.auth.json.
2. Add domain check for newtab URL (CSO #5). Previously only goto was
   checked, allowing domain-restricted agents to bypass via newtab.
3. Validate scope values, rateLimit, expiresSeconds in createToken()
   (CSO #4). Rejects invalid scopes and negative values.

* feat: /pair-agent skill — syntactic sugar for browser sharing

Users remember /pair-agent, not $B pair-agent. The skill walks through
agent selection (OpenClaw, Hermes, Codex, Cursor, generic), local vs
remote setup, tunnel configuration, and includes platform-specific
notes for each agent type. Wraps the CLI command with context.

* docs: remote browser access reference for paired agents

Full API reference, snapshot→@ref pattern, scopes, tab isolation,
error codes, ngrok setup, and same-machine shortcuts. The instruction
block points here for deeper reading.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: improved instruction block with snapshot→@ref pattern

The paste-into-agent instruction block now teaches the snapshot→@ref
workflow (the most powerful browsing pattern), shows the server URL
prominently, and uses clearer formatting. Tests updated to match.

* feat: smart ngrok detection + auto-tunnel in pair-agent

The pair-agent command now checks ngrok's native config (not just
~/.gstack/ngrok.env) and auto-starts the tunnel when ngrok is
available. The skill template walks users through ngrok install
and auth if not set up, instead of just printing a dead localhost
URL.

* feat: on-demand tunnel start via POST /tunnel/start

pair-agent now auto-starts the ngrok tunnel without restarting the
server. New POST /tunnel/start endpoint reads authtoken from env,
~/.gstack/ngrok.env, or ngrok's native config. CLI detects ngrok
availability and calls the endpoint automatically. Zero manual steps
when ngrok is installed and authed.

* fix: pair-agent skill must output the instruction block verbatim

Added CRITICAL instruction: the agent MUST output the full instruction
block so the user can copy it. Previously the agent could summarize
over it, leaving the user with nothing to paste.

* fix: scoped tokens rejected on /command — auth gate ordering bug

The blanket validateAuth() gate (root-only) sat above the /command
endpoint, rejecting all scoped tokens with 401 before they reached
getTokenInfo(). Moved /command above the gate so both root and
scoped tokens are accepted. This was the bug Wintermute hit.

* feat: pair-agent auto-launches headed mode before pairing

When pair-agent detects headless mode, it auto-switches to headed
(visible Chromium window) so the user can watch what the remote
agent does. Use --headless to skip this. Fixed compiled binary
path resolution (process.execPath, not process.argv[1] which is
virtual /$bunfs/ in Bun compiled binaries).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: comprehensive tests for auth ordering, tunnel, ngrok, headed mode

16 new tests covering:
- /command sits above blanket auth gate (Wintermute bug)
- /command uses getTokenInfo not validateAuth
- /tunnel/start requires root, checks native ngrok config, returns already_active
- /pair creates setup keys not session tokens
- Tab ownership checked before command dispatch
- Activity events include clientId
- Instruction block teaches snapshot→@ref pattern
- pair-agent auto-headed mode, process.execPath, --headless skip
- isNgrokAvailable checks all 3 sources (gstack env, env var, native config)
- handlePairAgent calls /tunnel/start not server restart

* fix: chain scope bypass + /health info leak when tunneled

1. Chain command now pre-validates ALL subcommand scopes before
   executing any. A read+meta token can no longer escalate to
   admin via chain (eval, js, cookies were dispatched without
   scope checks). tokenInfo flows through handleMetaCommand into
   the chain handler. Rejects entire chain if any subcommand fails.

2. /health strips sensitive fields (currentUrl, agent.currentMessage,
   session) when tunnel is active. Only operational metadata (status,
   mode, uptime, tabs) exposed to the internet. Previously anyone
   reaching the ngrok URL could surveil browsing activity.

* docs: tout /pair-agent as headline feature in CHANGELOG + README

Lead with what it does for the user: type /pair-agent, paste into
your other agent, done. First time AI agents from different companies
can coordinate through a shared browser with real security boundaries.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: expand /pair-agent, /design-shotgun, /design-html in README

Each skill gets a real narrative paragraph explaining the workflow,
not just a table cell. design-shotgun: visual exploration with taste
memory. design-html: production HTML with Pretext computed layout.
pair-agent: cross-vendor AI agent coordination through shared browser.

* refactor: split handleCommand into handleCommandInternal + HTTP wrapper

Chain subcommands now route through handleCommandInternal for full security
enforcement (scope, domain, tab ownership, rate limiting, content wrapping).
Adds recursion guard for nested chains, rate-limit exemption for chain
subcommands, and activity event suppression (1 event per chain, not per sub).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add content-security.ts with datamarking, envelope, and filter hooks

Four-layer prompt injection defense for pair-agent browser sharing:
- Datamarking: session-scoped watermark for text exfiltration detection
- Content envelope: trust boundary wrapping with ZWSP marker escaping
- Content filter hooks: extensible filter pipeline with warn/block modes
- Built-in URL blocklist: requestbin, pipedream, webhook.site, etc.

BROWSE_CONTENT_FILTER env var controls mode: off|warn|block (default: warn)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: centralize content wrapping in handleCommandInternal response path

Single wrapping location replaces fragmented per-handler wrapping:
- Scoped tokens: content filters + datamarking + enhanced envelope
- Root tokens: existing basic wrapping (backward compat)
- Chain subcommands exempt from top-level wrapping (wrapped individually)
- Adds 'attrs' to PAGE_CONTENT_COMMANDS (ARIA value exposure defense)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: hidden element stripping for scoped token text extraction

Detects CSS-hidden elements (opacity, font-size, off-screen, same-color,
clip-path) and ARIA label injection patterns. Marks elements with
data-gstack-hidden, extracts text from a clean clone (no DOM mutation),
then removes markers. Only active for scoped tokens on text command.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: snapshot split output format for scoped tokens

Scoped tokens get a split snapshot: trusted @refs section (for click/fill)
separated from untrusted web content in an envelope. Ref names truncated
to 50 chars in trusted section. Root tokens unchanged (backward compat).
Resume command also uses split format for scoped tokens.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add SECURITY section to pair-agent instruction block

Instructs remote agents to treat content inside untrusted envelopes
as potentially malicious. Lists common injection phrases to watch for.
Directs agents to only use @refs from the trusted INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS
section, not from page content.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add 4 prompt injection test fixtures

- injection-visible.html: visible injection in product review text
- injection-hidden.html: 7 CSS hiding techniques + ARIA injection + false positive
- injection-social.html: social engineering in legitimate-looking content
- injection-combined.html: all attack types + envelope escape attempt

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: comprehensive content security tests (47 tests)

Covers all 4 defense layers:
- Datamarking: marker format, session consistency, text-only application
- Content envelope: wrapping, ZWSP marker escaping, filter warnings
- Content filter hooks: URL blocklist, custom filters, warn/block modes
- Instruction block: SECURITY section content, ordering, generation
- Centralized wrapping: source-level verification of integration
- Chain security: recursion guard, rate-limit exemption, activity suppression
- Hidden element stripping: 7 CSS techniques, ARIA injection, false positives
- Snapshot split format: scoped vs root output, resume integration

Also fixes: visibility:hidden detection, case-insensitive ARIA pattern matching.

* fix: pair-agent skill compliance + fix all 16 pre-existing test failures

Root cause: pair-agent was added without completing the gen-skill-docs
compliance checklist. All 16 failures traced back to this.

Fixes:
- Sync package.json version to VERSION (0.15.9.0)
- Add "(gstack)" to pair-agent description for discoverability
- Add pair-agent to Codex path exception (legitimately documents ~/.codex/)
- Add CLI_COMMANDS (status, pair-agent, tunnel) to skill parser allowlist
- Regenerate SKILL.md for all hosts (claude, codex, factory, kiro, etc.)
- Update golden file baselines for ship skill
- Fix relink tests: pass GSTACK_INSTALL_DIR to auto-relink calls so they
  use the fast mock install instead of scanning real ~/.claude/skills/gstack

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.15.12.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: E2E exit reason precedence + worktree prune race condition

Two fixes for E2E test reliability:

1. session-runner.ts: error_max_turns was misclassified as error_api
   because is_error flag was checked before subtype. Now known subtypes
   like error_max_turns are preserved even when is_error is set. The
   is_error override only applies when subtype=success (API failure).

2. worktree.ts: pruneStale() now skips worktrees < 1 hour old to avoid
   deleting worktrees from concurrent test runs still in progress.
   Previously any second test execution would kill the first's worktrees.

* fix: restore token in /health for localhost extension auth

The CSO security fix stripped the token from /health to prevent leaking
when tunneled. But the extension needs it to authenticate on localhost.
Now returns token only when not tunneled (safe: localhost-only path).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: verify /health token is localhost-only, never served through tunnel

Updated tests to match the restored token behavior:
- Test 1: token assignment exists AND is inside the !tunnelActive guard
- Test 1b: tunnel branch (else block) does not contain AUTH_TOKEN

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add security rationale for token in /health on localhost

Explains why this is an accepted risk (no escalation over file-based
token access), CORS protection, and tunnel guard. Prevents future
CSO scans from stripping it without providing an alternative auth path.

* fix: verify tunnel is alive before returning URL to pair-agent

Root cause: when ngrok dies externally (pkill, crash, timeout), the server
still reports tunnelActive=true with a dead URL. pair-agent prints an
instruction block pointing at a dead tunnel. The remote agent gets
"endpoint offline" and the user has to manually restart everything.

Three-layer fix:
- Server /pair endpoint: probes tunnel URL before returning it. If dead,
  resets tunnelActive/tunnelUrl and returns null (triggers CLI restart).
- Server /tunnel/start: probes cached tunnel before returning already_active.
  If dead, falls through to restart ngrok automatically.
- CLI pair-agent: double-checks tunnel URL from server before printing
  instruction block. Falls through to auto-start on failure.

4 regression tests verify all three probe points + CLI verification.

* feat: add POST /batch endpoint for multi-command batching

Remote agents controlling GStack Browser through a tunnel pay 2-5s of
latency per HTTP round-trip. A typical "navigate and read" takes 4
sequential commands = 10-20 seconds. The /batch endpoint collapses N
commands into a single HTTP round-trip, cutting a 20-tab crawl from
~60s to ~5s.

Sequential execution through the full security pipeline (scope, domain,
tab ownership, content wrapping). Rate limiting counts the batch as 1
request. Activity events emitted at batch level, not per-command.
Max 50 commands per batch. Nested batches rejected.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add source-level security tests for /batch endpoint

8 tests verifying: auth gate placement, scoped token support, max
command limit, nested batch rejection, rate limiting bypass, batch-level
activity events, command field validation, and tabId passthrough.

* fix: correct CHANGELOG date from 2026-04-06 to 2026-04-05

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: consolidate Hermes into generic HTTP option in pair-agent

Hermes doesn't have a host-specific config — it uses the same generic
curl instructions as any other agent. Removing the dedicated option
simplifies the menu and eliminates a misleading distinction.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: bump VERSION to 0.15.14.0, add CHANGELOG entry for batch endpoint

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate pair-agent/SKILL.md after main merge

Vendoring deprecation section from main's template wasn't reflected
in the generated file. Fixes check-freshness CI.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: checkTabAccess uses options object, add own-only tab policy

Refactors checkTabAccess(tabId, clientId, isWrite) to use an options
object { isWrite?, ownOnly? }. Adds tabPolicy === 'own-only' support
in the server command dispatch — scoped tokens with this policy are
restricted to their own tabs for all commands, not just writes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add --domain flag to pair-agent CLI for domain restrictions

Allows passing --domain to pair-agent to restrict the remote agent's
navigation to specific domains (comma-separated).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* revert: remove batch commands CHANGELOG entry and VERSION bump

The batch endpoint work belongs on the browser-batch-multitab branch
(port-louis), not this branch. Reverting VERSION to 0.15.14.0.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: adopt main's headed-mode /health token serving

Our merge kept the old !tunnelActive guard which conflicted with
main's security-audit-r2 tests that require no currentUrl/currentMessage
in /health. Adopts main's approach: serve token conditionally based on
headed mode or chrome-extension origin. Updates server-auth tests.

* fix: improve snapshot flags docs completeness for LLM judge

Adds $B placeholder explanation, explicit syntax line, and detailed
flag behavior (-d depth values, -s CSS selector syntax, -D unified
diff format and baseline persistence, -a screenshot vs text output
relationship). Fixes snapshot flags reference LLM eval scoring
completeness < 4.
