v1.58.1.0 feat: hermetic local E2E + Conductor prose AskUserQuestion (#2004)
* feat: add shared call-time isConductor() helper

Single source of truth for Conductor host detection in TS consumers
(CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_PATH / CONDUCTOR_PORT). Reads the passed env at
call time, not a module-load snapshot, so unit tests can pin the env
inline without Bun --preload (esm-hoist-breaks-env-pin-bootstrap).

* test: harden question-preference-hook harness against ambient Conductor env

runHook copied all of process.env into the hook subprocess, so running the
suite inside Conductor (CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_PATH/PORT set) would leak those
markers. Strip them so the existing cases deterministically characterize
NON-Conductor behavior before the Conductor branch lands. Baseline: 15 pass.

* feat: PreToolUse hook denies AskUserQuestion in Conductor, redirects to prose

Conductor disables native AskUserQuestion and routes through a flaky MCP
variant that returns '[Tool result missing due to internal error]'. The
hook now denies any AUQ call in a Conductor session and instructs the model
to render a prose decision brief instead (transport avoidance, not preference
enforcement) — firing for one-way doors too, with a typed-confirmation
requirement for destructive paths.

Precedence: never-ask auto-decide still wins (user already settled those);
Conductor prose is the fallback for everything else; non-Conductor behavior
is byte-for-byte unchanged. Restructured the per-question loop to compute
eligibility without early-returning so the Conductor branch can run as the
fallback while preserving memoryContext on every exit.

* feat: Conductor renders AskUserQuestion decisions as prose by default

In Conductor, native AskUserQuestion is disabled and the MCP variant is
flaky, so skills now render every decision as a plain-text prose brief the
user answers by typing a letter — proactively, not as a failure reaction.

- Preamble emits CONDUCTOR_SESSION, gated on != headless so eval/CI inside
  Conductor still BLOCKs instead of rendering prose to nobody.
- AskUserQuestion Format gains a Conductor-default-prose rule (auto-decide
  preferences still apply first; prose decisions log via gstack-question-log
  since PostToolUse never fires), a one-way/destructive typed-confirmation
  rule, and a typed-reply continuation protocol for split chains.
- Regenerated all SKILL.md + ship golden fixtures; bumped affected carve
  skeleton caps to absorb the always-loaded additions.

* feat: deploy the Conductor AskUserQuestion hook (setup + upgrade migration)

The PreToolUse hook only delivers its Conductor-prose guarantee if it's
installed, but setup skips hook registration in non-interactive (conductor/CI)
setups. Two fixes so layer 3 actually deploys:

- setup: treat a Conductor workspace as an implicit opt-in for the PreToolUse
  hook on the silent fall-through (never overriding an explicit opt-out).
- migration v1.58.0.0: re-register the hook for existing Conductor installs on
  /gstack-upgrade, idempotent and respecting plan_tune_hooks=no.

* test: E2E for Conductor prose + fix auto-decide-preserved GSTACK_HOME bug

- New skill-e2e-conductor-prose (periodic): Conductor env + plan-eng-review
  surfaces a prose decision brief, not a silent skip. Header documents this is
  end-to-end behavior coverage; the deterministic Conductor guard is the
  question-preference-hook unit test (the PTY harness can't register the MCP
  variant — Codex #10).
- Fix the pre-existing bug in auto-decide-preserved: it seeded the never-ask
  preference under GSTACK_HOME=tmpHome but never passed GSTACK_HOME into the
  PTY run, so the spawned claude read the real ~/.gstack and the preference
  was inert (Codex #9). Now passes GSTACK_HOME + CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_PATH to
  prove auto-decide still wins over the Conductor prose redirect.
- Register both in touchfiles (periodic tier).

* v1.58.0.0 feat: Conductor renders AskUserQuestion decisions as prose

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

* test: strip ambient Conductor env in memory-cache-injection hook harness

Same dev-in-Conductor leak fixed for question-preference-hook: this suite's
runHook copies process.env, so running it inside Conductor flipped the
defer-path memoryContext assertions into the [conductor] prose deny. Strip
CONDUCTOR_* so the cases characterize non-Conductor behavior. (CI is headless,
so this only bit local Conductor runs.)

* feat: gstack-detach — run agent eval/bench jobs in their own session

Long agent-run jobs (30-60 min evals, benchmarks) die when the harness sends
SIGTERM to a background task's process group on turn boundaries / monitor
stops / interruptions (observed: 'script test:gate terminated by signal
SIGTERM'). gstack-detach runs the command in a fresh session (python3
os.setsid, or setsid on Linux, nohup fallback) so a group SIGTERM can't reach
it, and wraps it in caffeinate -i on macOS so idle-sleep can't kill it either.
Returns immediately; caller polls the logfile. Secrets stay in env, never argv.

The guard test pins the contract: the command runs in a different process
group than the caller and outlives the launching shell.

* feat: eval:bg* scripts — detached eval runs for agents

Agent-facing convenience scripts that launch the eval suites through
gstack-detach so a harness SIGTERM can't kill a long run. eval:bg (diff-based),
eval:bg:all, eval:bg:gate, eval:bg:periodic — each returns immediately and
streams to /tmp/gstack-evals.log for polling. The plain test:evals / test:e2e
scripts stay foreground for humans.

* docs: CLAUDE.md — agents must run long evals via gstack-detach

Codifies the detached-execution default: agent-launched eval/benchmark runs go
through bin/gstack-detach (or the eval:bg* scripts) so a harness SIGTERM or
macOS idle-sleep can't kill a 30-60 min run, then poll the log with a
death-aware watcher. Humans keep foreground scripts.

* feat: harden gstack-detach against all four eval-infra killers

The basic bash detach fixed SIGTERM but a real run on a shared dev box hit
three more killers: cross-worktree API saturation (15-way concurrency x a
sibling worktree mass-timed-out the suite), a silent hang (periodic bun died
with no exit marker), and shared-/tmp log contamination (a concurrent
worktree's agent output bled into the log). Rewrite as a portable python3 tool
that bakes in all four fixes:

- fork + setsid: SIGTERM-proof (own session, survives harness polite-quit)
- caffeinate -i on macOS: no idle-sleep death
- --lock NAME (fcntl, machine-wide): concurrent worktrees SERIALIZE instead of
  saturating the shared model API
- run-scoped default log (~/.gstack-dev/eval-runs/<label>-<slug>-<branch>-<ts>-<pid>):
  no cross-worktree collision/contamination
- --timeout watchdog + a guaranteed '### gstack-detach EXIT=<code> ###' sentinel
  on every terminal path: no silent hang, finished-vs-died always detectable

Guard test pins all four: detached pgid differs + outlives launcher, run-scoped
log path, watchdog EXIT=timeout, and lock serialization (second run WAITS).

* feat: eval:bg* use run-scoped logs + machine lock + watchdog

Drop the shared /tmp/gstack-evals.log path (the cross-worktree collision that
contaminated a live run) for gstack-detach's run-scoped default, and add the
machine-wide gstack-evals lock (concurrent worktrees serialize, no API
saturation) plus per-tier watchdog timeouts (60/90/120 min). Each eval:bg*
prints its run-scoped log path to poll.

* docs: wire detached-eval guidance into /ship + correct CLAUDE.md flags

- /ship eval step (sections/tests.md): long eval suites launch via gstack-detach
  (own session, machine lock, EXIT sentinel) so a turn boundary can't kill a
  30+ min run mid-ship — the exact failure observed during this branch's ship.
- CLAUDE.md: correct the now-stale /tmp reference; document the --lock (serialize
  worktrees, no API saturation), --timeout watchdog, run-scoped log, and the
  guaranteed EXIT sentinel the poller breaks on.

* refactor: extract pure promotedEnv() from conductor-env-shim

Single source of truth for GSTACK_* key promotion semantics. The ambient
promoteConductorEnv() becomes a wrapper; behavior-preserving. Needed by the
hermetic env builder which must not mutate process.env.

* feat: hermetic child-env builder for E2E runners

Allowlist scrub (basics/network/named-auth kept; CONDUCTOR_*, CLAUDE_*,
GSTACK_*, MCP_*, GBRAIN_*, operator credentials dropped), per-runner
extraAllow, overrides merge last, EVALS_HERMETIC=0 byte-identical escape
hatch read at call time (ESM-hoist safe). Sync memoized singleton temp dirs
(<runRoot>/.claude keeps the extractPlanFilePath contract), seeded
.claude.json for non-interactive first run, pid-aware GC of crashed runs.
19 free unit tests.

* feat: session-runner spawns hermetic children + isolation canaries

claude -p children now get the allowlist-scrubbed env and a gated
--strict-mcp-config (EVALS_HERMETIC=0 restores operator env AND args).
Two gate-tier canaries make the clean room falsifiable: hermetic-canary
asserts env redirect + scrub + zero MCP servers + nonzero API-key cost
from the Bash tool_result (never model prose); hermetic-sentinel plants a
poisoned operator config (user CLAUDE.md + MCP server) and proves the
child cannot see it. Empirically verified on claude 2.1.175: print mode
needs no seed config (the seed serves the PTY path); the child CLI sets
CLAUDECODE for its own tools, so that scrub is pinned in unit tests, not
E2E. hermetic-env.ts joins GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES.

* feat: PTY runner spawns hermetic claude sessions

launchClaudePty children get the allowlist-scrubbed env, a gated
--strict-mcp-config, and the session exposes hermeticConfigDir for
forensics (hermetic plan files live under <dir>/plans/ and still match
extractPlanFilePath via the /.claude dir-name contract). Seeded trust
state covers repo-cwd sessions; the 15s trust-watcher stays as fallback.
Verified foreground via the plan-mode-no-op gate test.

* feat: codex/gemini runners spawn hermetic children

Same allowlist scrub as the claude runners, with each provider's auth
surface re-admitted via extraAllow (codex: OPENAI_API_KEY/CODEX_* plus
its tempHome .codex copy; gemini: GEMINI_*/GOOGLE_* with real HOME for
~/.gemini auth). The gemini spawn previously inherited the full operator
env with no env property at all.

* feat: agent-sdk-runner spawns hermetic children via complete Options.env

The historical 'env: breaks SDK auth' failure was partial-env replacement:
Options.env replaces the child's entire environment, so objects lacking
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY killed auth. Passing the complete hermetic env (key +
PATH + redirected CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/GSTACK_HOME) works — validated live
via query() with a Bash tool call (success, real cost, Conductor vars
scrubbed). Per-test opts.env merges last; ambient key mutation still
works because the builder reads process.env at call time.

* test: static tripwire pins hermetic wiring in all five runners

Free-tier invariants: every runner builds child env via hermeticChildEnv,
no raw ...process.env spread at any spawn site, --strict-mcp-config gated
on isHermeticEnabled in both claude runners, and no test callsite passes
the operator env into a runner's override parameter (scoped to runner
calls — unit tests spawning gstack bin scripts directly are exempt).
Mirrors the terminal-agent-pid-identity / server-embedder-terminal-port
tripwire idiom.

* docs: hermetic local E2E is the default; retire stale SDK env warning

CLAUDE.md now documents the hermetic clean room (allowlist scrub, fresh
seeded CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, temp GSTACK_HOME, --strict-mcp-config),
EVALS_HERMETIC=0 as the debug escape hatch, and replaces the 'never pass
env: to runAgentSdkTest' rule with the verified mechanism (partial-env
replacement was the failure; complete env is safe).

* fix: operational-learning fixture copies lib/jsonl-store.ts with the bin

gstack-learnings-log imports $SCRIPT_DIR/../lib/jsonl-store.ts (hasInjection,
v1.57.5.0) — copying only the bin scripts into the temp fixture broke the
script with exit 1 since then. Latent because diff-based selection rarely
runs this test; surfaced when hermetic-env.ts joined GLOBAL_TOUCHFILES and
selected everything. Reproduced outside the hermetic env to confirm blame.

* fix: ios-qa daemon scenarios use unique pidfiles under --concurrent

All scenarios shared join(workDir, 'daemon.pid') through a module-scope
workDir binding that beforeEach reassigns mid-flight under bun --concurrent.
First daemon claims; siblings get already_running against the test process's
own always-alive pid and fail in milliseconds — the failure mode seen at
15-way gate concurrency. Per-claim unique pidfiles keep the single-instance
semantics under test.

* fix: workflow judge re-appends body-carved sections after the marker slice

runWorkflowJudge appended sections/*.md before slicing startMarker..endMarker.
That handles skills that moved their MARKERS into sections (plan-eng,
plan-design) but not document-release, which keeps its markers in the
skeleton and carved the workflow BODY (Steps 2-9 -> sections/release-body.md)
AFTER the endMarker — so the slice dropped it and the judge scored
completeness 2 ('Steps 2-9 are in an external file'). Now any carved section
the marker window excluded is re-appended, so the judge sees the full
workflow the agent executes. document-release: completeness 2->5, clarity
3->4. ship/plan-ceo/plan-eng/plan-design judges unchanged (their section
content is already inside the slice, so the head-dedup skips re-append).

Pre-existing since the v1.57.0.0 carve (#1907); surfaced now because
hermetic-env.ts is a global touchfile that selects every llm-judge test.

* harden: hermetic temp-dir GC grace window + half-seed cleanup

Codex adversarial review (ship) flagged two temp-dir lifecycle edges:
- GC deleted any dead-pid dir; PID reuse could delete a freshly-created dir
  whose original pid exited and was recycled to a live process. Now requires
  BOTH a dead pid AND mtime older than a 1h floor.
- A seed-write failure after mkdir left an unseeded dir named with our live
  pid that this process's GC skips, leaking until exit. Now the partial dir
  is torn down before the (still loud) rethrow.

Two findings left as-is by design: HOME stays allowlisted (CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR
wins for claude; codex/gemini need ~/.codex|~/.gemini auth; FS sandbox is
TODOS.md:454 scope; the hermetic-sentinel canary proves config isolation),
and PTY extraArgs --mcp-config is a deliberate caller opt-in like env overrides.

* docs: document hermetic-by-default E2E + eval:bg detached runs in CONTRIBUTING

The Testing & evals section now tells contributors that local E2E runners
spawn children through a sealed clean room (allowlist-scrubbed env, seeded
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, temp GSTACK_HOME, --strict-mcp-config) so local signal
matches CI, with EVALS_HERMETIC=0 as the escape hatch. The eval-tools list
gains the eval:bg* detached-run scripts (gstack-detach: SIGTERM-proof,
caffeinate-wrapped, machine-locked, run-scoped logs, EXIT= sentinel).

v1.25.0.0 fix: AskUserQuestion resolves to host MCP variant when native is disallowed (#1287)
* test(harness): plumb extraArgs and auto_decided outcome through PTY runner

runPlanSkillObservation now accepts extraArgs that pass through to
launchClaudePty (which already supported them at the lower level), and
exposes a new 'auto_decided' outcome detected via isAutoDecidedVisible
when the AUTO_DECIDE preamble template fires (Auto-decided ... (your
preference)).

Both pieces are needed for the v1.21+ AskUserQuestion-blocked regression
tests in the next commit. Detection order is deliberate: 'asked' (rendered
numbered list) wins over 'auto_decided' (text only, no list), which wins
over 'plan_ready' so the auto-decide evidence isn't masked by a downstream
plan-mode confirmation.

* test(e2e): add AskUserQuestion-blocked regression cases for 6 plan-mode skills

Conductor launches Claude Code with --disallowedTools AskUserQuestion
--permission-mode default --permission-prompt-tool stdio (verified by
inspecting the live conductor claude process via ps -p ... -o args=).
Native AskUserQuestion is removed from the model's tool registry; without
fallback guidance the plan-mode skills (plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review,
plan-design-review, plan-devex-review, autoplan, office-hours) silently
proceed and never surface decisions to the user.

Adds 6 gate-tier real-PTY regression cases:

  - 4 inline test cases inside the existing plan-X-review-plan-mode.test
    files, each exercising the same skill with extraArgs ['--disallowedTools',
    'AskUserQuestion'] and asserting outcome === 'asked'. plan-design-review
    keeps the ['asked', 'plan_ready'] envelope (legitimate short-circuit on
    no-UI-scope) but explicitly fails on 'auto_decided'.
  - 2 standalone test files for autoplan + office-hours (which had no prior
    plan-mode test). autoplan asserts the FIRST non-auto-decided gate fires
    (Phase 1 premise confirmation) — autoplan auto-decides intermediate
    questions BY DESIGN.

Touchfile entries:
  - autoplan-auto-mode + office-hours-auto-mode added to E2E_TOUCHFILES +
    E2E_TIERS (gate)
  - existing plan-X-review-plan-mode entries gain question-tuning.ts and
    generate-ask-user-format.ts touchfile deps so AUTO_DECIDE-related
    resolver changes correctly invalidate the regression tests
  - touchfiles.test.ts count updated 18 -> 19 to cover the autoplan
    touchfile dependency on plan-ceo-review/**

Filenames retain `auto-mode` for branch-history continuity. Auto-mode (the
AUTO_DECIDE preamble path when QUESTION_TUNING=true) is a related but
distinct silencing mechanism; both share the same fix surface in the
preamble.

These tests are expected to FAIL on this branch until the fix lands. The
failure is the receipt for the regression.

* fix(preamble): teach the model to prefer mcp__*__AskUserQuestion when registered

When a host launches Claude Code with --disallowedTools AskUserQuestion
(Conductor does this by default — verified via ps on the live conductor
claude process), the native AskUserQuestion tool is removed from the
model's tool registry. Skill templates that say "call AskUserQuestion"
silently fail in that environment: the model can't ask, the user never
sees the question, the skill auto-proceeds without input.

The fix is preamble guidance, not a skill-template change:

  generate-ask-user-format.ts: new "Tool resolution" section at the top
  of the AskUserQuestion Format block. Tells the model that
  "AskUserQuestion" can resolve to two tools at runtime — the host MCP
  variant (e.g. mcp__conductor__AskUserQuestion, registered when the
  host injects it) and the native tool — and to PREFER any
  mcp__*__AskUserQuestion variant. Same questions/options shape; same
  decision-brief format. If neither variant is callable, fall back to
  writing a "## Decisions to confirm" section into the plan file plus
  ExitPlanMode (the native plan-mode confirmation surfaces it). Never
  silently auto-decide.

  generate-completion-status.ts: the plan-mode-info block (preamble
  position 1) now explicitly notes that AskUserQuestion satisfies plan
  mode's end-of-turn requirement for "any variant" and points at the
  Tool resolution section for the fallback path.

This puts the resolution rule in front of every tier-≥2 skill via the
preamble, so plan-mode review skills (plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review,
plan-design-review, plan-devex-review, autoplan, office-hours) all gain
the fix without per-template surgery.

Includes regenerated SKILL.md files for all 41 skills + the 3 host-ship
golden fixtures used by test/host-config.test.ts.

* test(periodic): AUTO_DECIDE opt-in preserved under Conductor flags

Periodic-tier eval that exercises the legitimate /plan-tune AUTO_DECIDE
path under the same flags Conductor uses (--disallowedTools
AskUserQuestion). Confirms the new Tool resolution preamble doesn't trip
opt-in users: when the user has set a never-ask preference for a
question, the model should auto-pick (outcome 'auto_decided' or
'plan_ready') rather than surface the prompt.

Setup runs in an isolated GSTACK_HOME tmpdir — never touches the user's
real ~/.gstack state. Writes question_tuning=true + a never-ask
preference for plan-ceo-review-mode (source: 'plan-tune', which bypasses
the inline-user origin gate). Spawns claude with
--disallowedTools AskUserQuestion in plan mode, runs /plan-ceo-review,
asserts outcome is NOT 'asked' (i.e., the model honored the preference).

Periodic tier because AUTO_DECIDE behavior depends on the model adhering
to the QUESTION_TUNING preamble injection — non-deterministic, weekly
cron is the right cadence rather than CI gating.

Touchfiles cover the AUTO_DECIDE-bearing resolvers + the question-tuning
binaries the test setup invokes. touchfiles.test.ts count updates 19 ->
20 because auto-decide-preserved also depends on plan-ceo-review/**.

* v1.21.0.0: AskUserQuestion resolves to host MCP variant when native is disallowed

MINOR scale per scale-aware bumps in CLAUDE.md: substantial coordinated
multi-file change (preamble fix + new test infrastructure + 6 gate-tier
regression cases + 1 periodic eval) and a user-visible regression fix
that affects every plan-mode review skill running under Conductor's
default flag set.

User originally targeted v1.21.2.0; landing as v1.21.0.0 since this is
the first 1.21.x release on main and there's no prior 1.21.0.0/1.21.1.0
to skip past. Adjust at /ship time if a different number is preferred.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(harness): fix detection order + whitespace-tolerant pattern matching

Two bugs surfaced when validating the v1.21 fix end-to-end:

1. PlanSkillObservation outcome detection ran 'asked' (any numbered
   options list) BEFORE 'plan_ready'. Plan-mode's "Ready to execute?"
   confirmation IS a numbered options list (1=auto, 2=manual, ...), so
   any skill that successfully reached the native confirmation got
   misclassified as 'asked'. Reorder: 'auto_decided' (most specific,
   requires AUTO_DECIDE annotation) > 'plan_ready' (next, requires the
   "ready to execute" stem) > 'asked' (any remaining numbered list).

2. isPlanReadyVisible and isAutoDecidedVisible regexes only matched
   spaced forms ("ready to execute", "(your preference)"). stripAnsi
   removes cursor-positioning escapes (`\x1b[40C`) entirely instead of
   replacing them with spaces, so the same text can render as
   "readytoexecute" or "(yourpreference)". Both detectors now test the
   spaced form first, fall through to a whitespace-collapsed comparison.
   Inline unit smoke confirms both forms match.

Updates to the 5 strict 'asked' regression test cases (plan-ceo,
plan-eng, plan-devex, autoplan, office-hours): with the detection order
corrected, the model's plan-file fallback flow legitimately lands at
'plan_ready' instead of 'asked'. Pass envelope expanded to ['asked',
'plan_ready'] (matching plan-design-review's existing pattern). Failure
signals tightened to include 'auto_decided' (catches AUTO_DECIDE without
opt-in) plus the standard silent_write/exited/timeout. plan-design was
already on this contract from v1.21's first commit, no change needed.

The expanded envelope is correct: under --disallowedTools AskUserQuestion
the Tool resolution preamble routes the question through plan-mode's
native "Ready to execute?" surface — the user still sees the decision,
just via the plan-file flow rather than a numbered prompt.

* test(harness): require ## Decisions section under --disallowedTools plan_ready

Adversarial review (during /ship Step 11) found that the previous gate-test
envelope ['asked', 'plan_ready'] for the AskUserQuestion-blocked regression
cases accepted the bug they exist to catch: a model that silently skips
Step 0 entirely (writes a plan with no questions, no `## Decisions to
confirm` section, just ExitPlanModes) reaches plan_ready and passes.

The fix tightens the contract in two layers:

1. Harness: PlanSkillObservation gains a `planFile?: string` field
   populated when outcome is plan_ready. extractPlanFilePath() walks the
   visible TTY buffer for "Plan saved to:", "Plan file:", or
   ".claude/plans/<name>.md" patterns and resolves tilde to absolute.
   planFileHasDecisionsSection() reads the resolved file and returns true
   if it contains a `## Decisions` heading (any form: "to confirm",
   "needed", etc.).

2. Tests: 5 of 6 regression cases now require, when outcome is plan_ready,
   that obs.planFile is set AND planFileHasDecisionsSection returns true.
   Otherwise the test fails with a "Step 0 was silently skipped" diagnosis.
   plan-design-review remains the sole exception — it legitimately
   short-circuits to plan_ready on no-UI-scope branches and we have no
   deterministic way to distinguish that from a silent skip.

This closes the loophole the adversarial review identified. The fix
preamble flow already tells the model to write `## Decisions to confirm`
when neither AUQ variant is callable — now the test verifies the model
actually did it.

* fix(harness): anchor extractPlanFilePath path captures on /Users|~|/home|/var|/tmp

Adversarial-tightened gate sweep surfaced a real bug in the path
extraction: stripAnsi collapses whitespace via cursor-positioning escape
removal, so "yet at /Users/..." in the visible buffer becomes
"yetat/Users/..." with no space between. The previous fallback pattern
`(~?\/?\S*\.claude\/plans\/[\w-]+\.md)` greedily matched non-whitespace
characters BEFORE the path, producing `yetat/Users/garrytan/.claude/...`
which then fails fs.readFileSync.

Fix: every regex now requires the path to START at a known path-anchor:
`~/`, `/Users/`, `/home/`, `/var/`, `/tmp/`, or `./`. Earlier
non-whitespace runs can't be glommed in.
