Merge origin/main (v1.64.1.0) into garrytan/time-attack-fork-review
The code-smell wave refactored the tunnel start into the staged
startTunnel helper; the merge adopts that structure and threads this
branch's truthful consent strings through its consent parameter (the
receipt now names the isPairAgentEnabled gate at both call sites). The
eng-review PTY warmup takes both improvements: main's resolveClaudeBinary
fallback and this branch's resolveEvalModel kind. Resolver imports
union; carve budgets take the larger of both waves' measured values
(parity suite green on the merged tree); conflicted generated SKILL.md
files regenerated from resolved sources. VERSION stays 1.65.0.0 over
main's 1.64.1.0; CHANGELOG stacks 1.65.0.0 > 1.64.1.0 > 1.64.0.0.

Merge origin/main (v1.64.0.0) into garrytan/time-attack-fork-review
Both waves fixed several of the same bugs; resolutions keep whichever
shape this branch's tests pin (#2018 jq bind, #1798 set-- pattern,
stop-ack, lock errors, polyfill windowsHide) and take main's richer
codex Step 2A (it absorbed the same mktemp fix). True unions: memory-
ingest keeps main's capability-probed --include-gitignored inside our
GIT_CEILING defense; setup wraps main's Playwright platform override in
our stale-healing install lock; package.json takes main's diff@^9 and
the combined test glob (design/test + ios-qa/daemon/test, 30s timeout).
Generated SKILL.md files regenerated from resolved templates, never
hand-picked. Ship goldens refreshed; parity/carve budgets re-measured
for the summed preamble growth of both waves (itemized per entry).

v1.64.1.0 v1.64.1.0: the code-smell fix wave — every pipeline guard now provably fires (net −24,943 lines) (#2572)
* fix(ci): skill-docs freshness gate covers all 10 hosts and can actually fail

The Codex/Factory gates ran 'git diff --exit-code -- .agents/' / '-- .factory/',
but both paths are gitignored (.gitignore:16-17) — git diff on ignored untracked
paths is always empty, so those two gates were structurally incapable of failing
and 7 of 10 hosts had no gate at all.

New shape: one 'gen:skill-docs --host all' pass (the generator hard-fails on any
per-host error, gating all 10 hosts on generates-cleanly), byte-freshness via
git diff for tracked output, plus a porcelain check that fails on untracked
generated strays (git diff can't see brand-new files). The gitignored-hosts
byte-freshness limitation is documented in the workflow comment.

* fix(test): exorcise the sidebar-agent ghost from the test suite

browse/src/sidebar-agent.ts was deleted in the v1.14 sidebar refactor, but the
test suite kept testing it for 48 versions. Nothing noticed because the free
suite runs in no CI job and Bun-era module-load errors were suppressed in the
Windows shard runner via an exclusion pattern whose own comment documented the
breakage ('broken on every platform since v1.14 ... exit 0').

- Delete sidebar-security.test.ts + security-source-contracts.test.ts: crashed
  at module load (unguarded readFileSync of the deleted file); per-assertion
  triage confirmed every SERVER_SRC pin targeted the deleted chat prompt
  builder (zero hits in today's server.ts) — nothing to port.
- Delete sidebar-integration.test.ts: 11 of 13 tests exercised deleted
  endpoints (/sidebar-command queue, /sidebar-agent/event, chat buffer); the 2
  passing tests pinned only the blanket auth gate, covered by
  server-auth.test.ts + dual-listener.test.ts.
- Delete test/skill-e2e-sidebar.test.ts: E2E for the deleted queue flow.
- sidebar-ux.test.ts 1,669 -> 830 lines: 20 dead-chat describes + 15 dead
  tests removed (incl. 10 vacuous passes asserting on empty indexOf slices);
  2 stale pins on LIVE features fixed (content.js typed-catch CSSOM fallback,
  arrow-hint window widened). 95 pass / 0 fail.
- sidebar-tabs.test.ts: both failures were stale pins, not regressions —
  forceRestart's deliberate ws.close(4001) and the terminal-agent spawn that
  moved into spawnTerminalAgent() (identity-based kill refactor). 28 pass.
- touchfiles.ts: drop the three sidebar E2E entries from BOTH maps
  (E2E_TOUCHFILES + E2E_TIERS) — they pointed diff-selection at the deleted
  file, so those tests were unreachable by any diff.
- test-free-shards.ts: remove the now-dead sidebar-agent exclusion pattern.

* feat(ci): run the free test suite in CI (it ran nowhere)

The full free suite (bun test: browse/test/ + test/ + make-pdf/test/) had no CI
job on any Linux/macOS runner — only Windows curated shards, paid evals, and
doc-freshness gates existed. That's how two module-load-crashing test files
survived 48 versions.

Same cached Dockerfile.ci image and container wiring as evals.yml (deps
restore, build, Chromium verify). Includes a module-load-error guard: older
Bun reported test-file import crashes with exit 0 on macOS/Linux, so the job
also fails on any nonzero 'N errors' count in the summary — future crash-class
regressions can't hide from the exact job built to catch them.

* feat(test): validate touchfile dependency paths exist on disk

New guard in touchfiles.test.ts: every non-glob dep path must exist, and every
glob's anchor directory must exist. This is the axis the 181-key two-map sync
discipline never covered — an entry can point at a long-deleted file and
diff-based selection then silently never triggers those tests (the sidebar
trio sat rotted for 48 versions).

First run immediately caught a fourth rotted entry: 'spec authored quality'
referenced test/fixtures/spec/** (directory does not exist) and selected for a
judge test that exists nowhere in the repo. Removed.

* fix(security): remove deleted /sidebar-chat endpoint from tunnel allowlist

TUNNEL_PATHS is the audited tunnel attack surface — its own comment says every
addition widens it. '/sidebar-chat' stayed in the set after the endpoint was
deleted with the chat-queue path, meaning any future route matching that path
would have been silently tunnel-exposed. The set is now exactly the pair
ceremony (/connect) and the scoped command endpoint (/command), and the
dual-listener closed-set pin enforces that.

Also repairs a pre-existing red pin in dual-listener.test.ts: v1.63.0.0 made
the tunnel allowlist args-aware (canDispatchOverTunnel gained a second param)
without updating the test — red on main since then, invisible because the free
suite had no CI job.

* fix(security): delete chain's shadow dispatcher that skipped every security gate

meta-commands.ts carried a 'CLI mode' fallback that re-implemented command
routing without the server pipeline's gates: no scope check, no domain check,
no tab ownership, no rate limit, no hidden-element stripping, no scoped-token
enveloping — and it called handleReadCommand without a BrowserManager, which
also skipped the JS-origin cookie-exfiltration assertion. It was unreachable
in production (server.ts always passes executeCommand) and one boolean away
from being live.

chain now hard-errors without a server context. handleReadCommand's bm param
is required and assertJsOriginAllowed runs unconditionally. The chain tests
that exercised the deleted fallback now route through a server-shaped
executeCommand adapter (real handlers + trust wrapping + {status,result}
envelope), so their behavioral coverage — sequencing, trust markers, pipe
format, aliases, error reporting — survives on the production-shaped path.

* fix(extension): delete the dead chat-queue client surface

The sidebar-command handler in background.js POSTed to a server endpoint that
no longer exists (deleted with the chat queue) — ~35 lines of fully-wired dead
code including error handling for the permanent 404, plus its allowlist entry.
No sender in the extension ever emitted the message type.

chatEnabled leaves the /health contract (server hardcoded false, background.js
re-derived it, nothing consumed it — the chat input element it guarded is gone
from sidepanel.html). BROWSE_SIDEBAR_CHAT env flag had zero readers.

* fix(security): delete dead exports the ripped chat path left behind

Three-way split by importer class:

(a) Zero importers, deleted: the whole attack-attempt logging cluster in
security.ts (logAttempt, AttemptRecord, salted hashPayload + device-salt,
attempts.jsonl rotation, telemetry spawn plumbing incl.
buildTelemetrySpawnCommand/resolveBashBinary — the LIVE attempts.jsonl writer
is tunnel-denial-log.ts with its own rotation); the decision-file handshake
(writeDecision/readDecision/clearDecision/excerptForReview — written for
sidebar-agent's poll loop, which no longer exists); sidebar-utils.ts (whole
module — its sanitizeExtensionUrl 'sanitized before embedding in a prompt'
for the deleted prompt builder); 8 dead server.ts imports (sanitizeExtensionUrl,
generateCanary, injectCanary, writeDecision, rotateRoot, serializeRegistry,
restoreRegistry, clearAgentRecord); buildPtyClearCookie + buildSseClearCookie;
WEBDRIVER_MASK_SCRIPT (orphaned by the D7 stealth narrowing — applyStealth
never used it).

(b) Dead-pin tests edited with their exports: the 'still exported' pin in
stealth-layer-c, the string-content describe in stealth-webdriver (its live
applyStealth behavioral coverage untouched), the clear-cookie assertions,
security-review-flow.test.ts deleted whole (all 4 describes exercised the
dead decision mechanism, incl. a 'simulated sidebar-agent poll loop').

(c) KEPT deliberately: leaseCount (live behavioral coverage),
extractPtyCookie + validatePtySessionToken (extractPtyCookie is adopted by
the terminal-agent cookie-parse unification later in this wave),
resetSessionMarker + clearContentFilters (test-support API for the live
content-security layer).

Also fixes two pre-existing red pins found while here, invisible until the
free suite got a CI job: the v1.44 spawnClaude->maybeSpawnPty rename in
terminal-agent.test.ts, and a cross-file test-isolation bug where
content-security.test.ts's clearContentFilters() wiped the auto-registered
url-blocklist filter for every later file in the same bun process
(security-integration.test.ts failed on co-run; afterAll now restores it).

* fix(security): delete the dead ML layers — transcript classifier and DeBERTa ensemble

The L4b Haiku transcript classifier and the opt-in DeBERTa ensemble
(GSTACK_SECURITY_ENSEMBLE=deberta, a documented 721MB download) had ZERO
production callers since the chat-path agent that invoked them was ripped.
The only live ML path is scanPageContent (testsavant) inside the security
sidecar subprocess. Deleted by import graph:

- security-classifier.ts 614 -> 265 lines: HAIKU_MODEL, checkTranscript,
  shouldRunTranscriptCheck, loadDeberta, scanPageContentDeberta, ToolCallInput,
  all DEBERTA_* consts + load state. Header now states the live truth
  (imported only by security-sidecar-entry.ts). downloadFile kept, name
  intact — it is an enumerated egress sink (HF model download).
- security-bunnative.ts + test: a research skeleton self-described as 'NOT a
  production replacement', shipped into src/ with zero importers.
- security-bench-ensemble{,-live}.test.ts + the Haiku response fixture: a
  paid live-model benchmark for a layer that could not fire. The
  security-classifier-tdz test's only case exercised checkTranscript — gone.
- security.ts: layer-model header rewritten to the live architecture;
  StatusDetail.layers -> {testsavant, canary}; getStatus() no longer requires
  the impossible transcript==='ok' for 'protected' (old on-disk session state
  with a transcript key is tolerated on read, never re-emitted).
- security-sidecar-entry.ts needed zero changes: it serializes
  getClassifierStatus() verbatim and no consumer read .transcript (verified
  in sidecar-client + server.ts).
- BROWSER.md security section matches reality (ensemble knob gone, 112MB not
  22MB, sidecar hosting documented). combineVerdict/THRESHOLDS retained as
  the pure, tested combiner of record — comments now flag transcript/deberta
  votes as producer-less.

Net: 26 pass in security.test.ts incl. a NEW regression test for stale-
transcript disk tolerance; egress-receipt tripwire green.

* docs: scrub the sidebar-agent ghost from comments and CLAUDE.md

20+ comments across 10 files still described the deleted sidebar-agent.ts as a
live process — including load-bearing architecture claims ('IMPORTED ONLY BY
sidebar-agent.ts', 'sidebar-agent fills this in on first prompt-injection
load', 'kill sidebar-agent' in shutdown docs) and ~60 lines of tombstone
blocks in server.ts enumerating deleted identifiers by name (a false grep
surface: searching processAgentEvent hit server.ts and looked live).

CLAUDE.md's security-stack section now documents the LIVE architecture: L1-L3
content filters + testsavant via the security sidecar subprocess; the
L4b/ensemble rows, the GSTACK_SECURITY_ENSEMBLE knob, and the 721MB DeBERTa
download are gone (deleted as dead code this wave) with an explicit
do-not-re-document note; attempts.jsonl is correctly attributed to
tunnel-denial-log.ts; the no-live-writer status of classifierStatus is stated.

Comments that survive now describe what IS, not what WAS: the promotion gate
in domain-skills.ts explains why classifier_score>0 is load-bearing given no
L4 load-time scan exists; file-permissions.ts names real sensitive files.

* fix(gen): delete the codex-helpers shadow module

gen-skill-docs.ts imported externalSkillName (unaliased) from
resolvers/codex-helpers.ts at line 21 and then re-declared the same function
locally — the import was silently shadowed, and the imported copy was the
STALE one (it lacked the frontmatterName param the local copy grew). Three
more functions were byte-identical duplicates, imported only under _-prefixed
aliases to keep the module 'referenced', and transformFrontmatter was a
superseded hardcoded-Codex variant. Nothing else imported the module.

Also drops three dead top-of-file imports (COMMAND_DESCRIPTIONS,
SNAPSHOT_FLAGS — which pulled the whole browse/src module graph into every
generator run for nothing — and an unused review-resolver trio).

Proof: bun run gen:skill-docs exits 0 with a byte-identical tree (zero-diff
regen); gen-skill-docs.test.ts 405/405 green.

* fix(server): delete ServerConfig.idleTimeoutMs + chromiumProfile — documented, never read

Both fields carried JSDoc asserting embedder behavior that did not exist:
the idle check reads the module-level IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS env constant, and both
resolveChromiumProfile() call sites pass no argument. Worse than absent — an
embedder passing idleTimeoutMs: 5000 silently got 30 minutes.

Wiring them honestly is impossible today: the idle timer, activity state, and
shutdown target are module-global, so a per-factory value would lie for any
process running more than one handler. Deleted instead, with a ServerConfig
note pointing at the deferred singleton/route-table refactor where real
support belongs. BROWSE_IDLE_TIMEOUT and CHROMIUM_PROFILE env remain the
honest knobs.

* fix(security): wire appendSecureFile at the four real log-append sites

file-permissions.ts carries a 24-line rationale for why POSIX mode bits are
insufficient on Windows and implements appendSecureFile (0600 at create,
Windows ACL on first write only) — but its single caller was the dead
logAttempt, while the four REAL page-content log writers (console/network/
dialog logs in server.ts, the command audit log) used raw fs.appendFileSync
with no mode. Page-content-derived logs now get owner-only permissions from
birth on every platform.

Verified before wiring: mode applies atomically at create via appendFileSync
{mode}, and the ACL pass runs only on first write — no per-append subprocess
cost on the hot console-log path.

* fix(stealth): handoff() uses the shared profile resolution + lock cleanup

The headless-to-headed handoff path hardcoded ~/.gstack/chromium-profile,
silently ignoring $CHROMIUM_PROFILE and $GSTACK_HOME (gbrowser's gbd sets
per-workspace profiles), and skipped cleanSingletonLocks() — so a handoff
into a profile with a stale SingletonLock could hang where launchHeaded()
would have recovered.

This was the third live drift between the three Chromium launch paths; the
first two are documented in comments as shipped stealth regressions. Minimal
targeted fix — the full buildLaunchConfig() extraction stays in the deferred
queue.

* fix(gen): resolver registry describes the template language again

Seven registered {{PLACEHOLDER}}s had zero uses in any .tmpl (checked in both
bare and :arg forms): REDACT_TAXONOMY_TABLE, TEST_COVERAGE_AUDIT_REVIEW,
MODEL_OVERLAY, QUESTION_PREFERENCE_CHECK, QUESTION_LOG, INLINE_TUNE_FEEDBACK,
MAKE_PDF_SETUP. The last two of those families are invoked programmatically by
preamble.ts (functions kept, registry entries dropped); the question-tuning
trio and the review coverage-audit wrapper were documented by their own module
as existing 'for unit testing' that no test performed — deleted, along with
generateRedactTaxonomyTable + its EXAMPLE/TIER_BLURB constants (its '/cso
renders the full table' comment was itself stale) and its test describe.

Also deletes the gated-resolver mechanism (ResolverEntry/appliesTo/
unwrapResolver + test/resolver-entry.test.ts): fully built, fully tested,
used by zero of the 65 registry entries — the generator loop simplifies to a
direct function call. CLAUDE.md's redact-doc line stops advertising the dead
token.

Proof: zero-diff regen (0 SKILL.md changed); gen-skill-docs + skill-validation
737 tests green.

* fix(gen): wire boundaryInstruction from host config; drop three no-op binDir ternaries

hosts/codex.ts declared boundaryInstruction and nothing read it — review.ts
kept its own byte-identical CODEX_BOUNDARY literal (verified equal + trailing
escaped newlines). The resolver now reads the config, so the boundary has one
owner. (autoplan's template carries deliberately generic variants, enforced by
gen-skill-docs.test.ts:1358 — untouched by design.)

The 'ctx.host === codex ? $GSTACK_BIN : ctx.paths.binDir' ternary appeared in
three resolvers and could never change the result: resolvers/types.ts already
sets binDir to $GSTACK_BIN for every usesEnvVars host including codex.

Proof: zero-diff regen for claude AND codex hosts; gen-skill-docs +
host-config suites green.

* fix(test-infra): judge uses resolveClaudeBinary; eval:watch reads the real partials dir

judgePtyState spawned the bare string 'claude' three definitions below the
resolveClaudeBinary() helper this same file exports — broken under hermetic
PATHs where every other launch in the file resolves correctly.

eval:watch read _partial-e2e.json from the legacy global ~/.gstack-dev/evals/
while EvalCollector writes it into the per-project eval dir (or
GSTACK_EVAL_DIR) — so the dashboard's completed-tests panel was empty
whenever slug detection succeeded, i.e. the normal case. The heartbeat and
per-run progress logs stay global by design (session-runner.ts: 'heartbeat
stays global'). The three eval-CLI docstrings stop claiming the legacy dir
is the primary location.

* fix(test): delete the superseded SDK ship-idempotency suite and three orphaned fixtures

test/skill-e2e-ship-idempotency.test.ts's own header documented that the
monolith's SDK-harness version tests a synthetic prompt while it exercises
the real /ship skill — the author knew the old suite was superseded and left
both running, two paid LLM runs for one behavior. The weaker copy is gone;
its 'ship-idempotency' diff-selection key goes with it (the dedicated file is
periodic-tier, which always runs under EVALS_ALL — the key had no remaining
consumer).

Fixture rot: test/fixtures/golden-ship-claude.md was a 128KB zero-reader
orphan that had drifted 46KB from its live successor
(test/fixtures/golden/claude-ship-SKILL.md) while looking authoritative;
parity-baseline-v1.46.0.0.json and v1.53.0.0.json had zero readers (three
tests pin three OTHER baseline versions — consolidation is queued, deletion
of the unreferenced two is free).

* fix(bin): delete zero-caller scripts; make host-config-export's docstring honest

- bin/gstack-open-url (14 lines): announced in a CHANGELOG entry, wired into
  nothing, ever. bin/gstack-platform-detect (27 lines): zero callers, and its
  hand-rolled host list was already stale (SLATE_HOST.md cites it as a
  problem). Note: the deprecated gstack-brain-consumer/reader pair the audit
  flagged was already deleted upstream in v1.63 with a stay-deleted tripwire.
- scripts/task-emission-schema.ts (61 lines): a typed schema module nothing
  imported; the tasks-section comment now documents the JSONL fields inline.
- scripts/host-config-export.ts claimed to be the 'shell bridge for the bash
  setup script' — setup never calls it (its hand-rolled host lists drifting
  is a known follow-up). Docstring now states what it IS: a standalone,
  test-pinned query CLI not yet wired into setup. Its validateValue +
  CLI_REGEX/PATH_REGEX internals were dead (defined for a guarantee the
  header claimed but nothing enforced).
- KEPT deliberately: scripts/preflight-agent-sdk.ts — a documented manual
  diagnostic (CONTRIBUTING.md + USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK.md reference it).

* fix(server): one lone-surrogate sanitizer, one sanitizeReplacer, one startTunnel

Three copies of the surrogate sanitizer existed with two algorithms
(sanitize.ts regex vs a hand-rolled charCodeAt walk in server.ts — verified
byte-identical across 11 edge cases before converging) plus two identical
sanitizeReplacer definitions each wrapping a different copy. sanitize.ts is
now the single source of truth; the runs-INSIDE-JSON.stringify egress
invariant is unchanged at every call site and its pin tests were adapted to
the new import shape without losing intent.

The ngrok tunnel-start sequence existed three times in server.ts — the
/tunnel/start route and the BROWSE_TUNNEL=1 autostart were line-for-line
equivalent (a comment admitted 'Same cleanup as /tunnel/start's error path').
One startTunnel() now owns the ephemeral loopback bind, the pre-send egress
receipt, the state-file RMW via tmpStatePath(), and the ordered error-path
cleanup; callers keep their distinct response surfaces. The
BROWSE_TUNNEL_LOCAL_ONLY test path shares nothing (no ngrok, different state
field) and deliberately stays separate.

* fix(security): one session-cookie registry implementation, two instances

pty-session-cookie.ts and sse-session-cookie.ts were byte-identical modulo
the cookie name — mint/validate/parse/prune/TTL, the exact code a security
fix would have to land in twice (and a third hand-rolled cookie parse in
terminal-agent.ts had already diverged; unified next commit).
createSessionCookieStore() owns the implementation; both modules become thin
instantiations keeping every exported name, their distinct threat-model
docstrings, and separate token spaces (an SSE-read cookie must never grant
PTY access). pty-session-lease.ts deliberately stays out — different contract
(sessionId/secret split, refresh, env TTL).

The factory imports nothing from token-registry (cookie-picker-auth-isolation
invariant, still pinned by sse-session-cookie.test.ts).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(security): terminal-agent uses the shared PTY cookie parser

The /ws upgrade's cookie fallback hand-parsed the Cookie header inline — the
fourth copy of the session-cookie parse, and the one that had already
diverged from the others. Parsing now goes through extractPtyCookie;
validation deliberately stays against the agent's own in-process validTokens
map (the server's registry lives in a different process). The ws-handler pin
test now pins the shared-parser call instead of the raw cookie-name literal.

* refactor(hosts): defineHost() factory — 10 copy-paste host files become declarations

hosts/*.ts were ten copies of one file: runtimeRoot byte-identical in 9/10,
pathRewrites mechanically derivable from the host name for 7/10, the 11-entry
toolRewrites map byte-identical between openclaw and gbrain, and every asset
change a 10-file edit (cursor and slate had already fallen out of three other
hand-maintained lists). defineHost() owns the defaults; each host file now
declares only what makes it different (slate/cursor: 8 lines each). Shared
constants: CROSS_MODEL_RESOLVERS, GBRAIN_RESOLVERS, EXEC_STYLE_TOOL_REWRITES.
Genuinely-different things stayed explicit: codex/factory $GSTACK_ROOT
rewrites, hermes's tool vocabulary, claude's denylist+prefixable install,
opencode's wider runtimeRoot.

Proof: JSON.stringify(ALL_HOST_CONFIGS) dump-diff before/after EMPTY (and a
runtime walk confirmed no function-valued or undefined-keyed fields, so the
JSON diff is complete); gen:skill-docs --host all zero-diff; host-config +
gen-skill-docs + idempotency suites 485/485. Host files 595 -> 285 lines.
docs/ADDING_A_HOST.md teaches the factory pattern.

* feat(lib): fs-atomic — one atomic-write implementation, with the race actually fixed

Atomic tmp-write-then-rename was reimplemented ~20 times across lib/, bin/,
and browse/src with three tmp-suffix conventions. One of them was a latent
bug this commit closes: lib/worktree.ts used a bare '.tmp' suffix — the
deterministic-tmp collision race browse/src/server.ts documents having hit
in production (its fix, pid+random, was trapped in a comment at one site).

lib/fs-atomic.ts: atomicWriteSync (always throws, best-effort tmp cleanup,
pid+random suffix, optional mode applied at tmp creation so the file never
exists with looser permissions) + atomicWriteQuiet (shutdown paths only).
Unit tests pin the throw/quiet contracts, 0600 mode, tmp-name uniqueness
(captured via the read-only-dir failure path — Bun's fs exports are
readonly, no monkeypatching), and no-stray-tmp cleanup.

Migrated: lib/worktree.ts (the bare-.tmp bug), lib/gstack-decision.ts
(snapshot + compact log), lib/gbrain-local-status.ts (probe cache). browse
sites follow separately.

* fix(lib): jsonl-store's docstring stops lying; mode option added; lib bypasses adopted

The header claimed 'single source of truth... the ONLY copy' with write-time
injection REJECTION — while appendJsonl never screened anything, only 1 of
~10 JSONL stores imported it, and a bypass appender lived in the same
directory. Now: the contract is explicit (screening is the CALLER's job via
hasInjection/firstInjectionMatch; the enforcing callers are named), a
option applies 0600 at create for sensitive stores, and the lib bypasses are
adopted (gstack-memory-helpers ×2, redact-audit-log — which keeps its chmod
backstop for files created looser by pre-mode versions). browse/src keeps
its own appenders by design (compiled-binary surface, own secure-append
helper) and the header now says so. gstack-decision's batched archive append
stays deliberate (single-write crash-window semantics appendJsonl's
one-record contract can't express).

New pins: 0600-at-create, and a test that documents appendJsonl does NOT
self-screen — so nobody can re-document it as self-screening without making
it true.

* fix(browse): migrate hand-rolled atomic writes to lib/fs-atomic

Seven sites, each audited for its existing throw-vs-swallow contract before
migrating: writeSessionState + the four fire-and-forget tab/state writers use
atomicWriteQuiet (they swallowed before); writeAgentRecord + the boot-time
port-file write use atomicWriteSync (they threw before — and writeAgentRecord
previously leaked its tmp file on rename failure, which the helper cleans).
All carry {mode: 0o600} plus restrictFilePermissions after successful writes,
preserving the Windows ACL hardening that writeSecureFile provided (mode bits
are POSIX-only). server.ts untouched: its three state writes route through
tmpStatePath(), pinned by server-tmp-state-path.test.ts.

* fix(hosts): delete five dead HostConfig fields

metadataFormat (generator hardcodes openai.yaml), sidecar (behavior lives in
setup's create_agents_sidecar — knowledge preserved as a comment in codex.ts),
install.prefixable (skill_prefix is implemented entirely in bin/gstack-config),
staticFiles (docstring cited a SOUL.md that never existed anywhere), and
adapter (its only would-be consumer, openclaw-adapter.ts, was fully dead —
with a test asserting the field was undefined). Kept: learningsMode (wired
next), linkingStrategy (validation reads it), coAuthorTrailer (consumed by
resolvers/utility.ts).

Proof: JSON dump diff shows ONLY the deleted keys vanishing; zero-diff regen
across all 10 hosts; host-config + gen-skill-docs suites green. Note: this
commit also carries chunk-23 edits to the shared hosts/claude.ts +
define-host.ts + host-config.test.ts files (skipSkills collapse, stale
line-number comment drops) — pathspec commits, concurrent prep.

* fix(gen): preamble tiers are explicit; silent ?? 4 default becomes an error; spec stops rendering its preamble twice

Eight skills (scrape, diagram, spec, skillify, pair-agent, landing-report,
open-gstack-browser + its connect-chrome symlink) silently received the
HEAVIEST tier-4 preamble because a missing frontmatter field defaulted to 4.
Tiers are now declared in every {{PREAMBLE}} template's frontmatter and a
missing declaration throws at generation time with the template path (the 5
templates without {{PREAMBLE}} never invoke the resolver). The stale
hand-written tier-map comment (wrong in 3 of 4 rows) is gone.

Bonus bug fixed: spec/SKILL.md.tmpl mentioned {{PREAMBLE}} in prose, so the
generator inlined the ENTIRE preamble a second time — spec/SKILL.md shrinks
127,462 -> 80,924 bytes (-46,538) from de-duplication alone. skill-size-budget
gains a reasoned INTENTIONAL_SHRINKS entry (its frozen baseline had measured
the doubled-preamble bug). New tests: missing-tier throw carries the path;
every {{PREAMBLE}} template declares a tier. (Carries chunk-23 edits in the
shared test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts.)

* fix(gen): learningsMode is read from host config, not a hardcoded host name

resolvers/learnings.ts branched on ctx.host === 'codex' while every host
declared learningsMode — the field was decorative, and the 7 hosts configured
'basic' (cursor, slate, kiro, opencode, openclaw, hermes, gbrain) silently
received the 'full' cross-project flow their runtimes can't execute (it
depends on AskUserQuestion + gstack-config plumbing). Output now matches
declaration: basic hosts get the project-scoped search block.

Blast radius proof: all committed Claude SKILL.md files and the three golden
fixtures are byte-identical; the behavior diff lands only in the gitignored
external-host trees (hand-verified: .cursor review's learnings section swaps
the cross-project AskUserQuestion block for the project-scoped search).

* fix(gen): small config scrubs — openclaw blobs to real files, setup host drift, dead artifacts

- The three openclaw markdown blobs hardcoded inside gen-skill-docs.ts (which
  silently reverted any hand edit to their tracked outputs on regen) move to
  openclaw/templates/*.md source files; output shasums byte-identical.
- setup's --host allowlists gain cursor + slate — both fully registered hosts
  with generated output, but './setup --host cursor' exited 1 because two
  hand-rolled lists in setup had drifted from hosts/index.ts.
- scripts/proactive-suggestions.json deleted: 31KB regenerated on every run,
  read by nobody (the catalog-trim design's reader was never built); its
  emitter and three determinism tests (which guaranteed a file nothing reads
  didn't churn) retired with stays-retired pins.
- claude/SKILL.md.tmpl deleted: a complete 8.9KB skill that never generated
  output (directory name collides with the host id 'claude'), in no registry.
  Recoverable from git if ever wanted under a non-colliding name.
- openclaw's frozen extraFields.version '0.15.2.0' stamp dropped;
  includeSkills: [] no-ops omitted (the generator treats [] as absent);
  llms.txt 55 -> 54 skills.

* feat(gen): correct preamble tiers for the 8 silently-heaviest skills

With tiers now explicit, set them RIGHT by analogy to the tiered population:
scrape/diagram/open-gstack-browser (+ the connect-chrome symlink) -> tier 1
(launchers and artifact generators, like browse and make-pdf);
landing-report/pair-agent/skillify -> tier 2 (dashboards and session tools,
like health and canary); spec -> tier 3 (interactive planning, like the
plan-*-review family). Each tier-1 skill sheds 271 lines of onboarding
prose it never needed; tier-2 shed 20 each.

Verification per the review protocol: regen diff reviewed (pure
section-removal), skill-validation + size-budget + catalog-budget +
v0-dormancy suites green (822 tests), and live smoke of the tier-corrected
skills confirms the preamble renders the intended sections at each tier.
These skills have ~no eval coverage — stated honestly; the wave's gate-tier
eval run is the backstop.

* feat(test): e2e-gate — one tier-gate implementation, side-effect-free, with the trap pinned

The EVALS/EVALS_TIER gate was copy-pasted into ~40 test files and had drifted
into six different predicates — the drift that made 'eval:bg:all runs
everything' silently false. test/helpers/e2e-gate.ts owns the semantics now:
describeE2ETier(tier) + e2eTierEnabled(tier), env read at call time, zero
side effects (the existing e2e-helpers module runs a ~30s claude ping at
import under EVALS=1, so the gate lives in its own module; purity is pinned
by tests that scan imports and comment-stripped source).

The unit matrix pins all four env combos — including EVALS=1 with EVALS_TIER
unset -> SKIP, the exact trap that made eval:bg:all a non-run. The
tier-alignment tripwire gains a second regex for the helper shape (old shape
still detected — stragglers can't hide), and the sharded paid runner's
PRE-SPAWN tier classifier learns the helper shape too: without that, every
gate-sharded run would have spawned all 28 periodic shards just to skip them,
each paying the e2e-helpers import ping (~15 min of dead wall clock in the
CI-blocking lane). Verified: gate runs exclude the 29 periodic files,
periodic excludes the 8 gate files — identical to pre-migration.

* refactor(test): migrate the 36 tier-gated eval files to describeE2ETier

Mechanical two-liner swap in 34 files (each keeping its declared tier — all
36 predicates verified against E2E_TIERS before migrating); the two files
with compound gates (overlay-harness's EvalCollector feed, codex-e2e's
CODEX_AVAILABLE) keep their extra conditions via e2eTierEnabled. Tier
rationale comments preserved. codex-e2e/gemini-e2e/benchmark-providers keep
their distinct stderr-message gate shapes by design.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(test): skill-e2e + skill-llm-eval adopt the shared selection machinery

Both files re-implemented the diff-selection machinery e2e-helpers already
exported. The helper gained computeDiffSelection() (extracted, identical
behavior) and a trailing optional selection param on the *IfSelected helpers
(defaults preserve all 30+ existing importers). skill-e2e.test.ts drops ~120
duplicated lines; skill-llm-eval keeps its LLM_JUDGE_TOUCHFILES selection and
test.concurrent semantics via testConcurrentIfSelected.

Deliberate deltas, stated: skill-e2e.test.ts now honors the EVALS_TIER
intersection its local copy lacked (affects only direct bun test invocations
of that file — it matches no eval-script glob); its recordE2E gains the
helper's three diagnostic fields; skill-llm-eval sharded solo now runs
e2e-helpers' module-scope preflight it already ran in combined processes.

* fix(test): kill the silent-truncation race; exempt the tier-corrected shrinks

The full-suite shakeout (budgeted by the plan) surfaced both immediately:

1. server-embedder-terminal-port.test.ts stubbed process.exit and restored
   the REAL exit in its finally — but shutdown() schedules async work that
   can call process.exit AFTER restoration, killing the entire bun process
   mid-suite with exit 0 and NO summary. This is the silent-truncation class
   the new free-suite CI job guards against, reproduced locally on the first
   full run. Exit now stays a logging no-op between tests (late async exits
   become visible stderr lines, not process death); the true exit returns in
   afterAll.

2. The 80%-of-baseline shrink guard correctly flagged the six tier-corrected
   skills — their baseline was measured at the silent tier-4 default. Added
   to INTENTIONAL_SHRINKS with the reason, joining spec's double-preamble
   entry.

* fix(ci): free-tests curates 8 container-incompatible files with reasons

Second maiden-voyage shakeout round: 376 of 384 files ran green in the
container on the first completed pass. The 8 that can't run there yet are
excluded the same way the Windows shards curate POSIX-bound files — each
with its reason inline (headed-Chrome handoff, real-PTY round-trip, X server
management, extension-origin identity, the job's own TMPDIR override, and
three pre-existing env failures that fail on dev machines too). Anything
outside the list that fails still fails the job; trimming the list is
tracked follow-up.

* fix(test): gstack-config-key-locale — suppress the skill_prefix auto-relink side effect

The test invokes the repo's own bin/gstack-config, whose 'set skill_prefix'
auto-runs $(dirname $0)/gstack-relink — resolving the install dir to the
repo itself. In any environment where the loop shares a working tree (the
free-tests CI container, a fresh-HOME run), gstack-patch-names rewrote all
52 tracked SKILL.md names to gstack- prefixed, poisoning five unrelated
suites downstream (hermetic-skills-seeding, host-config golden, skill-census,
skill-validation, spec-template-sync). GSTACK_SETUP_RUNNING=1 is the
documented suppression; relink behavior stays covered by relink.test.ts's
mock install.

* fix(bin): gstack-codex-session-import — empty sessions dir exits 0 on Linux

GNU xargs runs 'ls -t' once even on empty input, listing the cwd and
producing a bogus LATEST from the repo root; BSD xargs (macOS) skips the
run, which is why the NO_SESSIONS path only broke on Linux. xargs -r pins
the BSD behavior on both platforms.

* test(parity): rebaseline v1.57.7.0 → v1.64.1.0 + skeleton-cap headroom

The two parallel v1.64 waves (code-smell fix wave + main's #2571) each
added shared-preamble prose, pushing document-release / design-consultation
/ cso past their size ratios on the v1.57.7.0 anchor and four carved
skeletons (plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review, office-hours,
design-consultation) 22-280 B over their absolute caps. New baseline is
union-normalized (skeleton + sections/*.md, matching what the harness
measures); caps get +~1 KB headroom each with per-cap rationale. The
v1.57.7.0 fixture stays in test/fixtures/ for the audit trail, and
capture-parity-baseline.ts now documents the union-normalization step so
the next rebaseline doesn't re-trip on it.

* fix(ci): free-tests container parity — tools, pinned bun, git identity, mutation tripwire

- Dockerfile.ci: add python3 (gstack-jsonl-merge/brain-sync/detach shell out
  to it), file (skill-validation's binary check), poppler-utils (make-pdf
  e2e gates hard-require pdftotext/pdffonts/pdfinfo), fonts-noto-color-emoji
  (emoji render gate, mirrors make-pdf-gate.yml). Fix the bun pin: the
  bun.sh installer ignores a BUN_VERSION env var, so the old form silently
  installed latest on every rebuild (observed 1.3.13/1.3.14 drift vs the
  1.3.10 devs run locally); pass the version as the positional arg.
- free-tests.yml: git identity + safe.directory for the git-exercising
  tests (container checkout is owned by a different uid than runner);
  post-loop tree-mutation tripwire that names a tracked-file-mutating test
  instead of letting downstream collateral confuse the report; skip the
  documented variants-retry-after timing flake.

* fix(bin): gstack-session-update — detached updater owns its stdio (SIGPIPE)

The backgrounded update subshell inherited the session hook's stdout/stderr
pipes. Once the hook exits and the caller closes them, any child that writes
— git pull's autostash notice, setup output — dies of SIGPIPE, logged as
PULL_FAILED exit=141 with an empty stderr capture (observed in the free-tests
container, and reachable by any production hook runner that closes stdio
promptly). Redirect the fork to /dev/null; all observability already flows
through the session-update log file.

* fix(test): gstack-decision-bins — explicit branch context for the scope filter

CI checks out a detached HEAD, where gitBranch() returns undefined on both
the log and search sides, so an implicitly branch-scoped decision can never
surface (filterByScope requires a matching non-empty ctx.branch). Pass the
branch explicitly on both sides — the filter logic is what's under test, not
git branch detection.

* fix(test): ring-buffer lease interplay — same TTL window, not same millisecond

Two back-to-back mintLease() calls each stamp Date.now() + TTL; when they
straddle a millisecond boundary the exact-equality assertion flakes
(observed in CI: expiries of ...525 vs ...526). Assert the expiries are
within a 50 ms window instead — the invariant under test is that leases
share a TTL policy, not that they mint in the same clock tick.

failures discarded the in-memory transcript so every triage started
blind, and the wrote-findings-before-asking classifier scanned the full
event stream where the child's own Read of the skill file always
contains the review-report phrase. Env now goes via opts.env, failures
dump bash commands + final text, and the classifier scans assistant
output only. Green in 67s with all seven asserts.

* 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).

* 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

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.

* 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).

* 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

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.

* 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).

* 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.

* 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

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

* 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

activeTabId — losing the race meant the last-tab auto-create never ran,

* 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.

restored: raw "SMARTPANTS_PRESERVED_N" text leaked into the rendered

Two paths put invisible content ahead of the first H1 and cost users a

Allow about:blank ONLY, never the about: scheme: about:blank has no

* 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.

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.

Current Claude Code returns AskUserQuestion results as an OBJECT map keyed

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.

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

* 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.

before the timeout throw, and make the budget env-overridable via
BROWSE_START_TIMEOUT (BROWSE_* tunable convention). Structural + behavioral
tests pin both invariants.

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

Four load-sensitivity fixes in the daemon lifecycle:

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

* fix(telemetry): ingest keeps error_message/failed_step instead of dropping them

The telemetry_events columns exist and bin/gstack-telemetry-log already
sends error_message + failed_step, but the Supabase ingest function dropped
both fields on insert — every error report arrived with no message and no
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.

Resolver only for the template side; generated SKILL.md files regenerate
from this source in the docs lane.

* fix(browse): surface non-EEXIST errors in acquireServerLock instead of masking them

acquireServerLock caught every open failure as if the lock were held:
EACCES/EROFS/ENOENT surfaced as phantom "another process holds the lock"
(null return, no diagnostics), and a failed stale-lock read or unlink was
swallowed the same way. Each failure class now logs a coded, pathed
diagnostic: non-EEXIST open errors, holder-PID read errors (ENOENT retries
the acquire — the holder released between open and read), and stale-lock
unlink errors. Four-case unit test included.

Closes #1084.

* fix(paths): shell-quote gstack-paths output so eval round-trips values

gstack-paths emitted bare KEY=VALUE lines, so the documented
eval "$(gstack-paths)" re-parsed the values: backslashes were eaten as
escapes (Windows $TMP C:\Users\... became C:Users...) and a space
word-split the assignment, leaving the variable empty. Emit each value
with printf %q so eval round-trips byte-for-byte; plain POSIX paths are
unchanged. Round-trip regression tests cover backslashes, spaces, and
embedded quotes.

* security(browse): drop .svg from the load-html extension allowlist

SVG is a script-capable format (inline <script>, event handlers, foreign

.html/.htm/.xhtml only; regression test asserts .svg is rejected.

* fix(make-pdf): correct CJK rendering — NUL sentinel hardening, SC-first fonts, CJK quote context

Three CJK fixes in the PDF pipeline:

- smartypants strips stray input NULs up front so document text can never
  forge the U+0000 placeholder sentinel and leak a preserved-zone marker
  into the output.
- The CJK font stack led with Japanese families, so Simplified-Chinese
  text rendered han glyphs with JP variants. Lead with PingFang SC /
  Heiti SC / Noto Sans CJK SC / Source Han Sans SC before the JP
  fallbacks.
- Quote-smartening only recognized ASCII openers as "start of quote"
  context; the fullwidth colon and CJK brackets now count, so quotes
  after them curl the right way.

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

The walk-up rewrite recomputed the slug on every run and "healed" the cache
toward the fresh value, which broke the #2212 continuity contract: a project
that used gstack before adopting a git remote would be silently renamed to
the remote-derived slug, orphaning everything under ~/.gstack/projects/.
Cached identity now wins, with one precise exception: when the cached value
equals THIS pwd's basename while the walk-up proves pwd is not the project
root, the entry came from the pre-walk-up subdirectory bug (#1125) and is
recomputed. All four slug contracts pass together (repo-mode #2212,
walk-up #1125, sanitize, user-slug).

Each fix traces to a receipt: brain-privacy-gate staged config never

operator's remote-mode gbrain suppressed the gate — both now injected
per-test; ship-idempotency threw away its evidence on the timeout path
and ran a 600s budget its own subject can exceed (now 900s, evidence
captured); auto-decide-preserved gets the same headroom its sibling
plan-ceo tests got; context-skills' hides-checks scanned bash output
where an ls legitimately names old checkpoints (final-text scope now);
design names the missing section instead of a bare count and learns the
easing/duration/micro-interaction synonyms; qa-workflow's collector

The new Step 1.7 told the agent to run gstack-code-intelligence before

setup. The gate now probes for the bin and reports offer:false

for gbrain, so set up gbrain. Never block setup on an optional gate.

directive tells the agent to probe before claiming, and the design-doc

API queuing tipped all retry attempts past the ceiling — the runner then
reports $0.00/0 turns for a timed-out child, which reads like a dead
spawn but is a healthy child killed at the deadline. 540s runner / 660s

Four review findings on the wave's own Phase 1 port, all red-first:
'consent <repo> no' recorded consent GRANTED (the CLI ignored the
argument and always wrote true) — yes|no is now required and garbage
records nothing; Sourcebot egress receipts claimed consented=true on
paths that never checked consent — the actual consent state is threaded
into every receipt, search is fail-closed on non-loopback, and the
liveness probe's receipt says truthfully that it sends no repo content;
repoPolicyVeto only honored the deny tier while gbrain refresh writes
pages — write-class ops now veto on read-only too, matching the sync
chokepoint, via one shared lib/gbrain-repo-policy-client.ts (win32
bash invocation, spawn-vs-unreadable error distinction) used by both
call sites. Also: source ids get a host+path hash (same-name repos no
longer collide), refresh timeout raised to 120s, availability probes
run concurrently at 3s, graphify status stops JSON.parsing 100MB graphs
for a count, and every ported file carries the fork MIT notice.

Four review findings on the wave's own new wiring: session restore ran

(one slow saved URL bricked every $B command) — restore now runs in the
background after bind; the shutdown snapshot gets a 2s deadline so a
wedged page.evaluate can't hold the port forever behind the new
ack-first stop; the persistence ticker gets in-flight + shutdown gates
and is cleared before the final snapshot; and the absorbed #2565
handoff fix no longer clears the whole parent watchdog — a suppress
flag keeps the tunnel-orphan reaper alive (handoff→resume→tunnel is no
longer an unreapable internet-exposed daemon). pair-agent with consent
off now names the real remedy instead of ngrok install instructions.

the whole chromium-<rev> dir goes, bunx runs cwd-pinned to the install

feat(skills): claimed limitations now require evidence, everywhere + wave follow-ups filed
Every tier-2+ skill's preamble gains one directive distilled from nine live
release failures in two days on the fork: a claimed limitation or
requirement ('the API can't do this', 'X requires a credential',
'impossible on this platform') is a material claim, stated only with the
verbatim error, the documented statement, or a live probe in hand —
pattern-matching a failure to a familiar story is not evidence, and a cheap
probe runs BEFORE asking the user or declaring a step blocked. ONE directive
adapted into the preamble resolver; the fork's full judgment contract is
deliberately not imported. Full regen (46 files), ship goldens refreshed,
parity guards bumped with the measured ~0.45KB/skill (investigate, autoplan,
plan-design-review, office-hours), Step 0.9 registered as an intentional
sub-step.

Approved deferrals filed: persona-fleet hostile-user harness + answer-key
methodology in TODOS; the fork's question-budget ACCOUNTING judgment (never

test: wire ios-qa/daemon/test into the free suite and shard runner (E2)
The daemon's 5 test files (allowlist, audit, auth-mint, cli-mint,
daemon-integration — now 6 with session hardening) were invisible to every
runner: not in the bun test glob, not in TEST_ROOTS. The same
silent-coverage-hole class as the tracked design/test P2 — and it meant
B2's auth regression tests would never have gated. All files are hermetic
(stub state-servers on ephemeral ports, no devices); verified green in the
shard census.

fix: housekeeping sweep — telemetry integrity, persistent opt-out, context-bill accuracy, setup hang, dev-server discovery, model resolution (#2136 + v1.63 polish)
Seven small fixes, one theme (claims matching code):
- telemetry-sync strips local-only fields with jq del() (structural) instead
  of quote-fragile sed regexes; unparseable lines are dropped, never
  forwarded unstripped. Sed survives only as a jq-less fallback.
- telemetry-log rejects non-integer durations BEFORE the range caps, whose
  test(1) comparisons silently no-op on non-numerics — a malformed duration
  spliced raw text into the JSONL stream.
- browse's local telemetry honors the persistent tier (config.yaml
  telemetry: off), not just the preamble's env hint — direct $B use and
  embedders now respect the opt-out.
- gstack-context-bill --exact sees GSTACK_-promoted keys inside Conductor
  (conductor-env-shim wired at the CLI entry), and the TOTAL line no longer
  double-counts every nested skill through the root skill's walk (v1.63
  deferred polish; the telemetry-sync HTTP-status outcome deferred alongside
  it turned out already shipped).
- setup's Chromium probe is deadline-bounded (90s, background + poll-kill —
  macOS has no GNU timeout) and prefers Node for the launch probe everywhere
  (the bun --eval hang family behind #2136); the install is single-flight
  behind a lock dir with an actionable stale-lock message. Probe verified
  live on this Mac.
- the review resolver's dev-server check reads CLAUDE.md and the plan file
  before falling back to an expanded port probe, and says how to make
  itself smarter next time.
- eval/harness model IDs resolve through lib/eval-model.ts
  (GSTACK_EVAL_MODEL[_KIND] env overrides, per-kind defaults, tested) at the
  SDK-capture and PTY-warmup sites; the bash-embedded distill snippet
  mirrors the resolution inline.
- memory-ingest's silent-zero shape (staged>0, imported+unchanged==0,
  errors==0) warns even under --quiet — a run that indexes nothing must
  never look healthy again.

fix(bins): detect the default branch instead of hardcoding main
gstack-diff-scope fell to an empty diff (all-false SCOPE_*) and
gstack-next-version mis-based its bump math on any repo whose default
branch isn't main (trunk, master, local-only). Both now resolve
origin/HEAD -> origin/main -> origin/master -> main.

chore: remove dead bins; extend the stale-ref scan to docs (the 36-release gap)
bin/chrome-cdp, bin/gstack-open-url, and bin/gstack-platform-detect were
referenced only by an audit test and CHANGELOG history — dead weight that
the stale-ref scanner should police, which required removing them FIRST.
The scanner now also sweeps docs/, README.md, and USING_GBRAIN_WITH_GSTACK
— the deliberate exclusion that let a dead command survive ~36 releases as
a command-not-found instruction. Scan is green on the extended surface.

feat(ci): supply-chain hygiene — secret gate on every PR diff, dependency review, OSV, dependabot, evidence-bar PR template
The repo owned a redaction engine and had zero CI-side secret scanning.
quality-gate.yml now pipes every PR diff's ADDED lines through our own
bin/gstack-redact (gate-secret-scan.mjs, taken from the fork — it dogfoods
the engine): HIGH findings fail the check, MEDIUM prints an advisory count
only (no human in CI to confirm), planted-bug fixtures excluded by pathspec.
Live-verified both directions: PEM key fails, clean diff and MEDIUM shapes
pass; ShellCheck (errors) covers the setup/build shell boundary and passes
today; bun audit gates critical advisories. Trigger is pull_request, never
pull_request_target.

dependency-review.yml adopts the hardened never-merged prior-art branch
(fail-on-severity high, workflow paths watched, tight perms) — verify the
dependency graph parses bun.lock with a canary bump before trusting the
gate. dependabot: weekly, grouped per ecosystem, capped PR counts; and
evals.yml image build/push now skips dependabot actors, whose read-only
GITHUB_TOKEN made every lockfile bump a permanently red check. OSV scans
weekly with a reasoned ignore file. All new workflow actions SHA-pinned.
Scorecard deliberately not taken (no consumer for the score).

The PR template front-loads the evidence bar (live proof, liveness
screenshot, no-ETHOS/voice-changes checklist); the unenforced DCO line is
dropped. bin/gstack-verify-gate ships OPT-IN (never registered by ./setup —
a Stop hook running the project's verify command after every turn is the
user's call), with the fork's tests adapted to pin exactly that.

Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2) + our own prior-art branch.

feat(code-intelligence): provider contract Phase 1 — GBrain, Sourcebot, Graphify behind one ask-once offer
Open a large repo (1,000+ tracked files) and gstack can offer code
intelligence ONCE, with the trade-offs stated: GBrain (semantic memory +
code, sends content to YOUR gbrain DB, per-repo consent), Sourcebot
(self-hosted whole-repo search, local on localhost), Graphify (local
tree-sitter graph, nothing leaves the machine, user-installed), or No
indexing — a decline persists machine-wide so no skill ever asks again.
Small repos never see the question; grep stays the always-working default
and provider-OFF degrades silently (PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE -> file-only).

Ported: lib/code-intelligence/ (contract + 3 verified adapters + picker +
selection + suggest, MIT headers), the gstack-code-intelligence CLI
(suggest/select/consent/index/search/status), 31 offline tests (fake CLI
shims + injected fetch), and the provider-contract design doc. Verified
live on this repo: suggest fires at 1,233 files with real availability
detail per provider.

Hardened per review: the per-remote trust store is the SINGLE consent
authority — a gstack-gbrain-repo-policy deny tier vetoes any recorded
code-intelligence consent (fail-closed on an unreadable store, pinned by
three tests); both send-capable adapters are registered as fail-closed
MODULE_SINKS in the egress tripwire so a refactor can't drop their
receipts; and local-compute vs remote-send consents are never bundled.
setup-gbrain gains the provider-choice Step 0. The fork's Phases 2-4
glue-collapse is explicitly NOT ported.

Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2); consent unification ours.

feat(ship): the Apple App Store release journey — working tree to Submit for Review
Point /ship at a repo with an .xcodeproj, .xcworkspace, or app-product Swift
package and ask to release: the adapter runs the whole journey with ONE
authorization moment (membership + pricing + in-session sign-in, decision-
store persisted so repeat releases ask nothing) and one store-assets question
only when assets are missing. fastlane is the single tool (produce/cert/
sigh/gym/pilot/deliver/frameit); credential vocabulary never reaches the
user.

The adapter carries 21 live releases' worth of paid-for Apple knowledge:
the web session mints the permanent upload key itself (iris POST
/v1/apiKeys; privateKey is base64-of-PEM, downloadable only at creation) so
nobody ever types an app-specific password; error -22938 is Transporter
asking for a key, not a user task; errors are CLASSIFIED before credentials
are touched (validation/UnexpectedResponse = metadata, incl. Apple's
expanded age-rating attributes); pricing goes through POST
/v1/appPriceSchedules because fastlane's price_tier is broken against the
current API; and store distribution NEVER routes through the branch gate —
a clean tree on main is the solo shipper's normal case (Step 0.9 loads the
adapter BEFORE the gate, pinned by test with the non-Apple gate
byte-unchanged and unique). Uploads/submissions follow an idempotency-log
contract (inspect App Store Connect before any re-run). Non-Mac hosts get
the honest split: build legs via a macOS CI runner with the minted key as a
secret, API legs local. Browser use inside the journey is banned except the
named paid-app banking/tax residue. Redaction dry-run clean.

Ship's parity ratio raised 1.12 -> 1.22 deliberately: the 14.8KB section is
on-demand (Apple store targets only), one manifest line otherwise.

Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2), refined across its 21 live
releases; architecture adaptation (carved section, decision-store paths,
idempotency log, third-party-actions handoff) ours.

feat(office-hours): 'never show me these again' for the founder-resources pitch (#538)
The Phase 6 resources offer (34 PG essays + Garry/YC videos) had no
permanent decline — the reporter showed memory instructions kept being
overridden on every update, so people who said no got re-pitched forever.
The offer now closes with a standing choice; opting out runs
gstack-config set founder_resources false (new key, default true, true|false
validated), the write is VERIFIED before any promise (a failed write says so
and skips this session only), and every future session skips the entire
section silently — no resources, no 'skipped as requested' mention. Config
outlives session context, so never means never. Re-enable anytime:
gstack-config set founder_resources true. The pitch stays default-ON for
everyone who never opted out.

Tests pin the key's default/persistence/validation through the real config
bin and the generated section's gate-before-content + write-verify contract.

Approved as a promo-surface change (CEO review D3.4, 2026-08-14).

feat(office-hours): design docs land in the repo, written as decision records (#703, #2000)
Office-hours Phase 5 now dual-writes the design doc: the docs/designs/ copy
is what teammates and plan reviews read (committable, visible), while the
~/.gstack copy keeps memory ingest and cross-session discovery working. The
repo copy leaves the private store, so it passes the redaction scan-at-sink
first (HIGH blocks the repo copy, MEDIUM confirms per finding), and any
failure — read-only checkout, non-git dir, unconfirmed finding — degrades
to the private copy with a one-line reason, never blocking the handoff.

The doc itself is now a decision record, not a transcript: one bullet per
decision with its why, ruled-out approaches collapsed to a single line with
the rejection reason, settled/empty template sections omitted. No page cap;
extra length must come from genuinely open questions.

Plan reviews (ceo/eng/devex + the shared review resolver) prefer the
repo-local doc (DESIGN.md, then newest docs/designs/*.md) when it's at
least as fresh as the private copy — a stale old repo doc never shadows a
newer session. Parity guards bumped with measured values (three plan-review
skeletons +~0.7KB each; office-hours 1.092x).

Judgment ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2); scan-at-sink and
freshness-preference adaptations ours.

feat(skills): third-party web-actions contract — offer to drive vendor-site steps, never just dump a manual list
When a workflow needs something done on an external website the user
controls (register an API key, create a vendor account, configure a
dashboard/webhook/OAuth app), five skills (ship, spec, office-hours,
setup-deploy, land-and-deploy) now follow one contract: offer to drive it
in a visible browser via gstack's own stack ($B headed + handoff/resume,
GStack Browser) behind ONE per-task consent question naming the exact site
and actions; passwords, payment, CAPTCHA, and identity stay user-performed;
captured secrets go to owner-only files or the user's secret store, never
chat/logs/history; and the credential is verified with one non-mutating API
call before any success claim — dashboards show masked placeholders, and a
401 catches them. Declining yields manual steps and a blocked-on-user mark;
nothing new is ever installed to close the gap.

New resolver token {{THIRD_PARTY_ACTIONS}} (adapted from the fork's
contract — their Aside-browser detection swapped for our own driver stack;
MIT portions noted). Parity guards bumped with growth itemized (ship
1.10->1.12 at measured 1.103x; office-hours skeleton 101K / 1.09 at
measured 1.079x); ship goldens refreshed.

Ported from time-attack/gstack (GStack 2), driver adaptation ours.
