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

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

bin/gstack-egress-receipt is a bun script bridging shell callers:
write|outcome subcommands, exit 3 + EGRESS_RECEIPT_FAILED on stderr on
failure; --no-payload records sha256:null for git-class ops.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

refactor(evals): single shared paid-test-set module
test/helpers/paid-test-set.ts is now the one definition of which test
files are paid (the exact globs package.json's test:gate expands).
scripts/test-free-shards.ts derives its free/paid exclusion from it
instead of a private regex list, dropping the dead
browse/test/security-review-fullstack.test.ts pattern (file no longer
exists). The sharded paid runner derives its enumeration from the same
module, so a file added to one list can no longer silently miss the
other.

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

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

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

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

Ported from fork commit 03c4eca2, tree walk rewritten for the upstream
layout (top-level <skill>/SKILL.md dirs, no skills/ tree). Unit tests
are new: seed shape, census parity, symlink resolution, connect-chrome
collapse, idempotence, no-API-key seed.

refactor(evals): shared partial-run predicate + finalized-run lookup
isPartialEval(data, filename) is the one place that decides what counts
as an in-progress accumulator (the _partial flag OR a _partial-prefixed
filename), and findLatestFinalizedRun(evalDir, tier) is the one place
that finds the newest real run — scanning the eval dir plus one level of
shards/<slug>/ subdirs, where the sharded paid runner points each
shard's collector. skill-budget-regression.test.ts's hand-rolled
findLatestRun (flag-blind: a flagged-but-renamed accumulator passed its
name check) is replaced by the shared helper.

fix(evals): stop the harness grading itself
findPreviousRun excluded only the file being written, by name, so every
suite compared against _partial-e2e.json — the current run's own
accumulator, relabelled with the current tier just before each flush.
That is why every block read '+$0.00, +0s, Stable run, no regressions.'
This harness has never been able to detect a regression, and reassuring
output that cannot fail is worse than none. In-progress runs are now
excluded by role, and a run with nothing to compare against says NO
BASELINE instead of claiming stability.

physicalSkillFiles (symlinked dirs included, root router included),
authoredSkills (realpath-deduped, router excluded), registryEntries
(what ./setup registers: unique frontmatter names + _gstack-command).

One counting authority for the hermetic seeder, context-bill ground
truth, and the catalog-budget test — connect-chrome's dir symlink and
the root router otherwise produce three subtly different hand-rolled
censuses. Ported-wave foundation (C11).

v1.62.0.0 feat: plan-mode auto-select at the review scope gate (#2533)
* fix(evals): align plan-eng/design plan-mode + finding-floor smokes to their declared periodic tier

The #2077 demotion of these four stochastic tests to 'periodic' was inert:
E2E_TIERS declared periodic but the files self-gated on EVALS_TIER === 'gate',
so they kept running in the blocking gate lane and never in the weekly lane.

Flip the four self-gates to 'periodic' (headers/describe labels updated), add
a free static tier-alignment invariant test (dep-list filename mapping;
unmapped self-gated files are reported, never silently skipped), and name the
two plan-mode test files in their own touchfiles dep lists so the invariant
binds for them.

* feat(pty-runner): scope-gate question/auto-select detectors + observation flags

Two render-shape-anchored detectors (whitespace-squished, like the Pattern-4/5
collapsed-form handling): isScopeGateQuestionVisible requires the question text
PLUS option-body text (native AskUserQuestion renders numbered options, prose
fallback renders lettered — the option body appears in both; narration doesn't),
and isScopeGateAutoSelectVisible requires the announcement prefix PLUS the
selected-B token.

runPlanSkillObservation gains scopeGateQuestionObserved /
scopeGateAutoSelectObserved high-water flags (attached at every return path) so
paid smokes can assert gate behavior across the whole run instead of the lossy
2KB evidence tail. runPlanSkillFloorCheck no longer counts a scope-gate render
toward auqObserved (tail-scoped exclusion) — the floor measures FINDING-driven
questions, and the gate could fire inside the 3s pre-target window.

Unit fixtures pin clean/native/collapsed positives, narration negatives, and
the verbatim template announcement string (template rewording fails here first,
before the paid smokes degrade to vacuous asserts).

* feat(plan-eng/design-review): auto-select B in plan mode at the scope gate

In plan mode the scope gate's "What should I review? A/B/C" question is pure
friction: there is no branch diff and the target is the plan being drafted.
Both gates gain an ordered exceptions block, checked BEFORE asking:

1. Plan mode → auto-select B: review the active plan (in context or pasted),
   announce it in one line ("Scope gate: plan mode — auto-selected B
   (reviewing <target>)") so the user can interrupt; an explicitly different
   user-named target still wins; no plan drafted yet → ask as normal.
2. User-named target (outside plan mode): explicit-only — a path, a pasted
   doc, or the literal words "branch diff". A passing mention is not naming;
   when in doubt, ask.

Outside plan mode with no explicitly-named target, nothing changes. Plan-mode
is checked FIRST because the PTY harness seeds drafts as pasted user messages
(claude-pty-runner.ts:1600) — ordering makes the seeded smokes deterministic.

Pinning: seeded plan-mode smokes assert no gate render + announcement rendered
(eng test 2; new design seeded test); plan-mode-no-op extends to eng/design
(bypass must not misfire outside plan mode; first question must be the gate)
plus a named-target case proving the pasted target is consumed; a drift-guard
asserts the two hand-duplicated exceptions blocks stay identical modulo the
two variant slots and carry the announcement string the detectors pin.

Skeleton ceilings ratcheted with comments (eng 68k, design 89k; eng union
ratio 1.08→1.09) — measured 67,006 B / 88,226 B after regen.

* fix(autoplan): skip the scope gate when following loaded review skills

autoplan Step 3 reads plan-eng-review / plan-design-review SKILL.md verbatim,
and its section skip list omitted the scope gate — so autoplan ingested a
hard-STOP AskUserQuestion that contradicts its every-question-auto-decides
contract. One skip-list line fixes it; a static toContain pin in
skill-validation keeps the entry load-bearing.

* fix(pty-runner): positional floor exclusion, flag builder, outcome union, token tracking

Review-army + adversarial findings on the scope-gate observability work,
all verified before fixing:

- Floor check: acceptance scanned the CUMULATIVE buffer while the scope-gate
  exclusion scanned only the 1500-byte tail, so an early gate render satisfied
  the floor vacuously once ~1.5KB of output accumulated (found independently
  by 4 review passes; predicate reproduced). Acceptance now scans only content
  APPENDED after the first gate render (positional anchor), and the LLM-judge
  'waiting' shortcut no longer fires while the gate menu is the pending render.
- High-water flags are built once and spread at every return path — the
  hand-spread pattern had already drifted (judge-waiting return omitted two
  flags), which made must-stay-false asserts vacuous on those paths.
- isScopeGateAutoSelectVisible: tense-tolerant selected/selecting/selects
  token (must-be-TRUE asserts shouldn't fail semantically-perfect paraphrases)
  and quoted-occurrence rejection (a model verbatim-quoting the announcement
  while declining must not trip must-stay-FALSE asserts). Fixtures added for
  both directions.
- PlanSkillObservation outcome union gains 'wrote_findings_before_asking'
  (returned at runtime via classifyVisible but missing from the type).
- trackTokens/tokensObserved: cumulative-buffer token high-water for
  consumption asserts (the 2KB evidence tail is lossy and the plan-file
  fallback is unreachable outside plan mode).
- New scope-gate-floor unit pins (from the ship coverage audit): both gate
  render forms trip acceptance and exclusion; a genuine finding AUQ is not
  excluded; tail-scoping semantics pinned.

* test(evals): harden no-op asserts, close tier-invariant fail-open holes, pin gate question strings

- no-op regression: gate-must-ask is now UNCONDITIONAL for eng/design (the
  outcome==='asked' conditional let a silent-bypass plan_ready run sail
  through); eng/design cases force --disallowedTools so the pinned prose
  shape is contractual rather than hoping native AUQ renders match; the
  named-target case uses trackTokens for consumption and lists
  wrote_findings_before_asking in its diagnostic throw branch.
- tier-alignment invariant: both quote styles matched; zero-self-gate,
  mixed-tier, and owning-keys-without-E2E_TIERS-entries are all REPORTED
  instead of silently skipped (the fail-open holes three reviewers found).
- drift-guard: the generated gate menus must carry the exact question/option
  strings the PTY question detector anchors on — free CI fails before the
  paid smokes can go vacuous on a menu reword.
- touchfiles: corrected the no-op cost note for CI concurrency + retry
  semantics.

* fix(ci): register plan-eng/design-review skills in PTY eval containers

The extended plan-mode-no-op smoke invokes /plan-eng-review and
/plan-design-review, but the fresh CI containers registered only
office-hours and plan-ceo-review — both new runs would return
'Unknown command' and fail every PR's gate job (Codex structured
review P1, verified against evals.yml). Registration loops, the
dangling-target fail-fast list, and the frontmatter checks (now a
loop over the same skill list, so the lists can't drift) all cover
the two skills.

* fix(plan-eng/design-review): harden scope-gate exceptions against injection and ambiguity

Adversarial-review wording fixes (Claude adversarial F1-F8 + Codex
cross-confirmation), applied to both gate templates + regen:

- Host-anchored mode signal: only the host's own system messages (plan-mode
  reminder or active plan file path) arm the auto-select; plan-shaped text
  inside pasted documents, tool results, or fetched pages does NOT count —
  injected content can't disarm the consent gate or nominate the target.
- Multiple plan candidates: the host-referenced plan file wins; still
  ambiguous means ask.
- The DIFFERENT-target override carries the passing-mention guard.
- Plan mode + explicitly named target + no drafted plan resolves to the
  named target instead of a contradictory re-ask.
- The numbered ask-path rules are qualified ('When no exception above
  applied:') so they no longer restate an unconditional MUST-ask that
  contradicts the exceptions.
- 'Whenever this gate does ask — in any mode — it is a hard STOP.'
- Shared preamble: 'any AskUserQuestion the skill fires is the workflow
  operating within plan mode' (was 'the first AskUserQuestion is the
  workflow entering plan mode', which framed the opposite of the bypass);
  regenerates every skill.
- Ceilings ratcheted with attribution: plan-eng union ratio 1.10,
  investigate 1.10 (the ~250B shared-preamble reword lands the
  closest-to-ceiling skill at 1.092).

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

* fix(pty-runner): active-render gate veto in the floor check + honest periodic-wiring docs

Codex re-review P2s on the fix wave, both verified:

- A finding AUQ rendering within TAIL_SCAN_BYTES of the gate (model waiting,
  no further output) was vetoed by the blanket tail exclusion until timeout.
  The veto is now ACTIVE-RENDER-aware: parseNumberedOptions anchors the last
  cursor menu, so only a pending GATE menu vetoes; the judge fallback shares
  the same check. Residual (documented): prose gate + prose finding inside
  one tail — floors run the native-menu path in practice.
- The four demoted periodic tests are not in evals-periodic.yml's explicit
  matrix (a named instance of the pre-existing periodic-orphans TODO), so
  they run locally/manually until the PTY-capable periodic job lands.
  CHANGELOG claim softened accordingly; TODO filed with the wiring recipe.

* fix(ship): custom-hooks-path detection false-negatives on git worktrees

The pre-push guard's HOOKS_IN_GIT_DIR check compared the hooks dir against
--absolute-git-dir, which in a linked worktree is .git/worktrees/<name>
while hooks resolve to the COMMON .git/hooks — so every Conductor worktree
read as a 'custom hooks path' and the consented guard install was skipped.
Match against the resolved --git-common-dir too (with a /nonexistent
fallback so a failed resolution can't collapse the case pattern into
match-everything). Verified live: this worktree now reports yes (was no),
and the main checkout still reports yes. Goldens refreshed (--host all).

* fix(evals): give the plan-ceo plan-mode smoke real budget headroom

Measured 2026-08-11: a clean isolated pass took 295.7s against the 300s
inner budget (4s of margin) and the same test timed out at ~308s three
times under concurrent eval load — a budget-edge flake in the gate lane,
not a behavior regression (it passed isolated on both this branch and
main). Inner budget 300s -> 420s, outer bun timeout 360s -> 480s, and the
test file is now named in its own touchfiles dep list so the tier-alignment
invariant binds for it.

* fix(evals): 300s budget floor for the two 90s design-consultation SDK tests

Root cause of PR #2533's e2e-design CI failure: design-consultation-preview
failed 3 attempts at 0 turns/$0.00/93s — the session was up but the model's
first completion queued past the 90s inner budget under concurrent API load
(11 matrix jobs; the sibling research test booted its first tool at 4s, so
this is API-side queuing, not CPU boot contention). The test was selected
only because touchfiles.ts is a global touchfile; the tested behavior is
untouched by this branch.

90s budgets cannot absorb one slow first completion. Both 90s tests in the
file move to the repo's saturated-runner standard (300s inner / 360s outer,
matching review-dashboard-via and retro-base-branch). Deliberately NOT
re-arming the runner's inner timer on first stream event: an audit found
~100 outer bun-timeout literals sized inner+30-60s that a re-arm would
silently break — the structural options are written up in TODOS.md.

v1.61.0.0 fix wave: guards failing open / silent failures (9 fixes, 4 community PRs absorbed) (#2472)
* fix(careful): warn on chained rm even when the last target is safe

The safe-exception block whitelisted rm -rf of build artifacts by
extracting targets with a single greedy match (.*rm ...), which only ever
inspects the LAST rm in the command. A chain like 'rm -rf /; rm -rf
node_modules' was therefore judged solely by its trailing safe target and
allowed without warning, waving through the destructive 'rm -rf /'.

Gate the shortcut to single rm invocations: when any shell separator
(; | & newline, incl. JSON-escaped \n/\r from the grep extraction path)
is present, fall through to the destructive-pattern check, which warns on
any recursive rm. Single-command artifact cleanups still allow.

Adds 3 regression tests covering semicolon and && chains in both orders.

* harden(careful): substitution separators + capital -R recursive flag (#2039)

Two residual fail-opens in the same guard PR #2040 hardened, both verified
by executing the script pre-fix:

- rm -rf $(./wipe-all)/node_modules silently allowed: the substitution token
  ends in a whitelisted suffix and the safe-exception early exit skipped ALL
  downstream checks. $( and backtick now count as chain separators; plain
  $VAR expansion stays allowed.
- rm -R / silently allowed: both greps required a lowercase r in the flag
  cluster; capital -R is the documented BSD/macOS recursive flag. Both greps
  now match -[a-zA-Z]*[rR].

Six new tests: substitution x2 -> ask, capital-R x2 -> ask, rm -Rf
node_modules single-command -> still allowed, escaped-newline branch
(existing code, previously untested), and a pinned deliberate FP
(cd app && rm -rf node_modules -> ask) documenting the fail-closed
direction on chains.

* fix(context-restore): prefer the current branch's own checkpoint (#2052)

All worktrees of a repo share one origin-derived slug, so they share one
`~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/checkpoints/` dir. `/context-restore` loaded the
newest checkpoint across the whole dir, so in one worktree it could silently
restore a *sibling worktree's* newer checkpoint.

Step 1 now orders candidates current-branch-first (read from each file's
`branch:` frontmatter), keeping other branches as a fallback. A branch is
checked out in at most one worktree, so this stops cross-worktree contamination
while preserving Conductor cross-branch handoff: when the current branch has no
checkpoint of its own, the full newest-first set is still used.

- scan the 200 newest before partitioning so a current-branch checkpoint sitting
  below a burst of sibling saves is still found; output still capped at 20
- non-git / detached HEAD / branchless legacy saves fall back to the old
  newest-first behavior (back-compat)
- +5 regression tests in context-save-hardening.test.ts (the #2052 bug case
  fails on the old pipeline); regenerated SKILL.md + proactive-suggestions.json

Fixes #2052

* fix(gbrain): pass --confirm-destructive on drift re-register (#1985)

ensureSourceRegistered() handles match-but-different-path by removing the
old source then re-adding it at the new path. The remove was issued as
`gbrain sources remove <id> --yes`, but gbrain >= 0.42 gates `sources
remove` behind `--confirm-destructive` (`--yes` alone no longer suppresses
the data-loss prompt). The remove therefore fails with "To proceed, pass
--confirm-destructive", which ensureSourceRegistered surfaces as "source
registration failed" — aborting the entire /sync-gbrain code stage for any
already-registered source whose path has drifted. The memory and brain-sync
stages still pass, so the code index silently stops refreshing.

The orchestrator's own safeSourcesRemove() already passes
--confirm-destructive; this brings the lib helper in line with that
convention. Keeps --yes for older gbrain.

Tests: extend the fake gbrain shim in gbrain-sources.test.ts to simulate
the gbrain >= 0.42 guard (remove without --confirm-destructive exits 1),
update the drift re-register assertion, and add a regression test that
proves the drift path no longer throws. Both fail on main with the exact

* harden(gbrain-sources): route drift remove through #1734 guards + realpath drift check

Absorbing #2031 un-blocked a destructive remove that bypassed the #1734
data-loss guards: ensureSourceRegistered's drift path issued
`gbrain sources remove` directly, without the detectAutopilot +
decideSourceRemove checks every other remove routes through via
safeSourcesRemove. gbrain >= 0.42's own prompt was accidentally blocking
that path; with --confirm-destructive passed it is live again.

- Drift remove now refuses LOUDLY (throws, actionable message) while an
  autopilot is active or when decideSourceRemove disallows; a silent
  changed=false would hide the drifted registration.
- decideSourceRemove's extraArgs (--keep-storage when supported) propagate
  to the remove call, matching safeSourcesRemove.
- Drift is realpath-normalized before being declared: a symlink alias of the
  same directory (macOS /tmp -> /private/tmp) is a match, not drift — the
  probable cause of #1985's reporter hitting the remove on an unmoved repo.
- Drift fires a loud stderr line (old -> new path); perpetual drift in logs
  is the trigger for promoting #1985's reindex-in-place design.

Tests: autopilot-active refusal (no remove in call log), fail-closed refusal
on unreadable sources list, --keep-storage propagation, symlink-alias
no-drift; existing drift tests pin the guard probes so a live autopilot on
the dev machine can't flip them.

* fix(developer-profile): exclude mode:resources rows from SESSION_COUNT, TIER, NUDGE_ELIGIBLE (#2067)

Every /office-hours run appends a mode:"resources" bookkeeping row alongside
the real session row, so --read double-counted sessions (~2x): tiers promoted
early and the builder-to-founder nudge armed prematurely. The file already
filtered resources rows for LAST_*/CROSS_PROJECT; the same realSessions
filter now feeds SESSION_COUNT/TIER, and the nudge predicate is the faithful
allowlist (mode === 'builder') so a future mode #4 fails closed instead of
re-opening this bug.

8 regression tests: count vs resources noise, tier boundaries both sides,
nudge false-with-noise / true-at-3-builders, cross-project trailing row.

Absorbed from PR #1991 by @mvann (fix + tests commits; the PR's version-bump
commit is superseded by this wave's consolidated release commit).

* fix(hooks): passThrough() two-branch contract — never emit permissionDecision:'defer' (#2035, #2006)

Every AskUserQuestion died with "Tool result missing due to internal error"
on current Claude Code builds (Desktop 1.14271.0, CC 2.1.177). Root cause:
the question-preference-hook emitted permissionDecision:'defer' on every
pass-through path. 'defer' is a real PreToolUse value, but since CC v2.1.89
its semantics are "pause this tool call for external resumption" (headless
resume) — never "abstain". Interactive sessions have nothing to resume the
paused call, so the tool orphaned. Pre-2.1.89 builds ignored the unknown
value, which is why the hook worked when it shipped and broke later.

The fix is the two-branch pass-through contract:
- no context -> exit 0 with EXACTLY empty stdout
- memory nuggets present -> hookSpecificOutput with hookEventName +
  additionalContext ONLY (the documented shape; plan-tune Layer 8 memory
  injection ships through this branch and keeps working)

defer() is renamed passThrough() so the function says what it does, and
docs/spikes/claude-code-hook-mutation.md's protocol contract (cited by the
hook header) is corrected in the same commit — it taught '"defer" — let
permission flow continue' and was the reintroduction vector.

Test contract rewritten in the same commit (13 assertions across 3 files,
verified fail-first against the unfixed hook): pass-through paths assert
exact-empty stdout (a garbage/partial write cannot slip past an
optional-chained parse), the nugget path asserts permissionDecision is
ABSENT while additionalContext survives, and a new tripwire asserts no
non-deny path ever puts the string "permissionDecision" on stdout. The
deny (auto-decide) and Conductor prose-redirect paths are unchanged.

Deployment: no migration needed — settings.json points at the absolute
bash shim which execs the .ts live; /gstack-upgrade delivers the fix.

* fix(one-way-doors): unify credential noun net + wire it into the runtime (#2024)

Library fix: revoke/reset/rotate now share ONE noun alternation (api key,
token, secret, credential, access key, password) with optional plural s?.
Pre-fix leaks: "reset my secret", "reset my access key", "revoke my secret"
(mismatched per-verb lists) and every plural form ("rotate the credentials",
"revoke all tokens" — \b(...)\b cannot match a trailing s).

Runtime wiring — the regexes could never fire in production before:
- gstack-question-preference --check gains --summary-stdin: the question
  text pipes via stdin (never argv — summaries carry quotes/newlines/shell
  metacharacters) and feeds isOneWayDoor alongside the id, so an ad-hoc
  destructive question with a stored never-ask preference now forces
  ASK_NORMALLY. Empty/absent stdin keeps exact id-only semantics.
- question-preference-hook falls back to classifyQuestion(question text)
  when the registry lookup misses, so unregistered destructive questions
  pass through to a human instead of auto-deciding.
- question-tuning resolver prose shows the piped form (SKILL.md regen lands
  in the wave's release commit).

Tripwires (verified fail-first): full verbs x nouns x singular/plural matrix
with the #2024 repro rows, benign-summary no-over-match rows, stdin
transport survival (quotes/newlines), empty-stdin fail-safe, and hook
fallback both directions (destructive -> pass-through, benign -> deny).

* fix(design): loud integer-flag contract for --count/--retry/--timeout (#2032)

design variants --count abc silently generated ZERO variants and exited 0:
parseInt(NaN) flowed through Math.min into the generation loop bound. The
same NaN class was live on the two sibling flags in the same file:
--retry abc made generate() a silent no-op (attempt <= NaN never true, null
output, exit 0) and --timeout abc killed the serve board ~immediately
(setTimeout(NaN)).

New design/src/flag-utils.ts: parseIntFlag (pure, unit-testable) +
normalizeIntFlag (CLI wrapper). Contract matches the --viewports precedent
(error loudly on nonsense — these commands spend real image-API money, a
silent fixup hides typos from calling agents): undefined -> default; bare
flag/empty/non-integer ("3.7" rejected, not truncated)/below-min -> exit 1
with usage hint; above-max -> clamp with stderr warning. --count normalizes
at the variants() consumption site so programmatic callers are covered, with
the ceiling derived from STYLE_VARIATIONS.length instead of a magic 7; the
CLI passes the raw flag through (a pre-parseInt would truncate "3.7").

Tripwires live in test/design-flag-utils.test.ts — deliberately under test/,
not design/test/, which is invisible to the bun test glob, TEST_ROOTS, and
every workflow (wiring design/test/ into CI is a captured TODO).

* fix(gbrain): thin-client state — remote-MCP brains no longer classify as broken-config (#2051)

A thin client (remote-HTTP MCP brain, no local engine by design) probed
`gbrain sources list`, which gbrain's dispatch guard REFUSES on thin clients
(exit 1, no recognized error string), so the classifier fell to its
defensive broken-config default and every suppression gate silently hid
brain-aware blocks from exactly the users on a shared team brain.

New 'thin-client' state, detected PRE-probe from gbrain's own remote_mcp
config marker via the existing gbrainConfigPath() helper (mirrors gbrain's
isThinClient(); honors GBRAIN_HOME; zero network, immune to error-string
drift), with a /thin[- ]client/ stderr backstop in the probe catch. Remote
reachability is deliberately NOT probed by the classifier — that is the
#1964 pathology; gbrain calls degrade gracefully at use time, and the detect
JSON says so honestly (gbrain_thin_client: {probed: false}).

The state is admitted at every suppression gate — gstack-gbrain-detect
--is-ok (drives setup + gbrain-refresh), gen-skill-docs' detection override,
gstack-config gbrain-refresh — while the sync stages (code/memory/dream)
SKIP with an accurate reason: code indexing runs on the brain server, memory
syncs via the remote brain's artifacts pull. The two consumer classes need
opposite answers, which is why this is a distinct state and not a
skip-the-probe special case. sync-gbrain Step 1.5 and setup-gbrain prose
route thin-client to proceed, never into broken-config remediation.

detectMcpMode secondary generalization: url-match against the config's
remote_mcp.mcp_url (deterministic — gbrain mounts at the generic /mcp path)
-> name pattern gbrain[-_]* -> stdio command token; gbrain_mcp_mode stays a
3-value enum.

Tripwires: end-to-end --is-ok exits 0 on a thin-client fixture AND still
exits 1 on broken-config (the gate didn't widen); pre-probe + stderr-fallback
classifier paths; 4 detectMcpMode identification cases incl. a non-matching
url that must NOT false-positive.

* fix(resolvers): compress --summary-stdin preamble prose to fit parity budget; re-bless ship goldens

The v1.57.7.0 parity suite caps investigate's generated size at 1.09x
baseline; the #2024 question-tuning prose (duplicated into every tier->=2
skill) tipped it to 1.092. Compressed to a single inline command + short
pointer (the full rationale lives in bin/gstack-question-preference's
header and the one-way-doors module docs). Ship goldens re-blessed against
the final resolver text (conscious template-change acknowledgment, per the
golden-file regression contract).

* fix(e2e): office-hours-spec-review turn budget fits the carved skill layout (#2473)

The test failed deterministically with error_max_turns at 9 turns on main
and this branch alike (CI attempt logs + local main repro). Root cause from
the failing transcript: the Spec Review Loop content is carved out of
office-hours/SKILL.md into office-hours/sections/, so the agent needs
discovery hops (grep SKILL.md -> ls sections/ -> read the section) before it
can write — 8 tool turns + the closing text turn = 9 > the 8-turn budget,
which predates the carve. Observed failures wrote a CORRECT summary on tool
turn 8 and died on the closing turn.

maxTurns 8 -> 12. Verified: PASS locally post-fix (7 turns this run — the
extra headroom absorbs discovery-path nondeterminism).

* fix(e2e): review-dashboard-via session budget survives runner contention (#2473)

The test failed on CI (and its baseline run) with the timeout signature:
0 turns, $0.00, exactly 183s, 3/3 attempts — the spawned claude -p session
never emitted a single stream event before the 180s inner timeout. The
file's tests run concurrently on one runner; session startup queues behind
sibling sessions, and this test had the tightest budget in the file (the
240s-budget tests in the same job passed). A clean local run takes 270s
wall for 4 turns, confirming 180s was too tight even without contention.

Inner timeout 180s -> 300s; outer bun timeout 240s -> 360s to keep headroom
over the inner budget. Verified: PASS locally post-fix (4 turns, 270s).

* fix(e2e): retro-base-branch session budget survives runner contention (#2473)

Same class as review-dashboard-via, one test over in the same file: /retro
is a long multi-step flow whose clean pass measures 225-239s — a coin flip
against the 240s inner budget. First CI run passed at 225s; the rerun timed
out at the 240s line on all 3 attempts (exitReason "timeout"); the local
verification run passed at 239s, ONE second under the old cap.

Inner timeout 240s -> 360s; outer bun timeout 300s -> 480s for headroom.
Verified: PASS locally post-fix (17 turns, 239s).

v1.60.2.0 fix: free-suite drift on dev machines (eval-list cwd, gemini regex, observability floor) (#2470)
* fix(test): eval-list CLI spawns from neutral cwd so slug detection can't dodge the fixture store

getProjectEvalDir() probes cwd-relative .claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-slug;
with cwd=ROOT on a dev machine the self-symlink makes it succeed, routing reads
to an empty project-scoped dir instead of the seeded legacy ~/.gstack-dev/evals.
Neutral cwd + absolute script path fails both probes deterministically — same
behavior as CI.

t f55e27097c fix(deps): override basic-ftp to 5.3.1 to clear CVE-2026-39983 + 3 sibling HIGH advisories
basic-ftp reaches the tree only transitively:
  puppeteer-core > @puppeteer/browsers > proxy-agent > pac-proxy-agent > get-uri > basic-ftp

Versions <= 5.3.0 carry four HIGH advisories, all fixed in 5.3.1:
- GHSA-chqc-8p9q-pq6q (CVE-2026-39983) FTP command injection via CRLF
- GHSA-6v7q-wjvx-w8wg incomplete CRLF protection (USER/PASS + MKD bypass)
- GHSA-rpmf-866q-6p89 DoS via unbounded multiline control-response buffering
- GHSA-rp42-5vxx-qpwr DoS via unbounded memory in Client.list()

Pin via a bun `overrides` entry rather than a phantom direct dependency.
Overriding forces every basic-ftp in the tree to 5.3.1, including get-uri's
nested copy; `bun audit` then reports zero basic-ftp advisories (total 37 -> 33,
HIGH 13 -> 9). A direct-dependency bump leaves get-uri/basic-ftp at the
vulnerable version and audit still flags all four.

fix(test): autoplan-dual-voice sandbox registers skills + assertions read real stream-json
Root cause of months of silent local failure: the sandbox copied skill dirs to
the repo root, but claude >= 2.x resolves slash commands strictly from
registered skills, so /autoplan short-circuited with 'Unknown command' (0
turns, ~1s) on every attempt. Install /autoplan + review skills at
project-level .claude/skills/ (same pattern as skill-routing-e2e).

Also: the transcript filter matched entry.type === 'tool_use', a shape that
never appears at the top level of raw stream-json, so assertions only ever saw
the final result text; filter on assistant/user events instead. Hang
protection accepts the Phase 1 review dispatch (Agent/Task tool call carrying
review instructions) as progress evidence, since full Phase 1 completion is
15+ min of subagent work. Budget raised to 10 min / 40 turns.

Invisible in CI: the file is in neither evals.yml nor evals-periodic.yml
matrices (coverage decision filed in TODOS.md).

fix(test-harness): return promptly when a timed-out child leaves pipe-holding orphans
proc.kill() only signals the sh -c wrapper; the claude child survives as an
orphan that inherited our stdout/stderr pipes, blocking the stream drain until
it exits (observed: a 600s spawn timeout stretching to 1431s and tripping bun's
per-test timeout with no result). On timeout, cancel the stdout reader; race
the stderr drain against child exit + 5s grace. Streamed transcript lines
survive the cancel, so callers still get their evidence.

Regression test: test/session-runner-timeout.test.ts (fake claude spawns a
pipe-holding orphan; fails in 30s without the fix, passes in 8s with it).

Adds the activation system that drives a new install toward a concrete first move:
- bin/gstack-first-task-detect: local-git+filesystem repo classifier emitting one
  validated enum bucket (greenfield/code_<lang>/branch_ahead/dirty_default/clean_default),
  portable timeouts, fail-safe empty output.
- generate-first-run-guidance.ts: unified preamble section — first-run project-aware
  scaffold + returning-session plan->review->ship tip, gated on a persistent .activated
  marker and never run in headless. Detection wired lazily in generate-preamble-bash.ts.
- SKILL.md.tmpl: top-level gstack skill is now a pure router (browse body removed; it
  lives in /browse), routing any request and sending browser/QA work to /browse.
- setup: first-move nudge on first install. office-hours: closing handoff that launches
  the next review via the Skill tool.
- telemetry-ingest: accept onboarding/first_task_scaffold_shown/handoff/route event types.

* test: cover first-run detection + repoint browse-content assertions to /browse

- New unit tests for every detection bucket, the eval-safe enum contract, and the
  first-run gating (test/preamble-first-task-scaffold.test.ts); periodic E2E that runs
  the detector through the real harness (test/skill-e2e-first-task-scaffold.test.ts).
- Repoint browse-content assertions (gen-skill-docs, audit-compliance, skill-validation,
  LLM-judge eval) from the root skill to browse/SKILL.md following the router split;
  add a regression pinning that the router carries no browse body.
- Register first-task-scaffold touchfiles + periodic tier; bump parity/carve size caps
  ~1-2KB per skill for the shared first-run-guidance preamble section.
- Refresh ship golden fixtures for the preamble addition.

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md + llms.txt for first-run activation

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.58.5.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(test): repoint bws skillmd-* setup-block assertions to browse/SKILL.md

The skillmd-setup-discovery / -no-local-binary / -outside-git E2E tests extracted
the `## SETUP`→`## IMPORTANT` browse binary-discovery block from the root SKILL.md.
P2 moved that block to browse/SKILL.md (end anchor is now `## Core QA Patterns`),
so the slice came back empty and the `browse/dist/browse` guard failed. Repoint to
browse/SKILL.md. Verified: 7/7 e2e-browse pass locally.

* fix(test): tolerate skill-discovery race in PTY plan-mode smoke

The e2e-pty-plan-smoke suite (office-hours / plan-mode-no-op) failed in CI with
`Unknown command: /office-hours` (claude exited ~10s) while passing locally. Root
cause: a cold CI container's overlay-FS scan of the symlinked ~/.claude/skills
registry finishes AFTER the runner's 8s boot grace, so the first `/skill` send
reaches claude before the skill is indexed and is rejected as unknown. The runner
gave up on the first "Unknown command:" line.

runPlanSkillObservation now re-sends the skill command up to 3x (6s apart),
re-marking the buffer each time so stale scrollback can't re-trip the check,
before concluding the skill is genuinely unregistered. A real dangling-symlink /
missing-skill still surfaces as 'exited' (after retries), preserving the original
diagnostic. Pure-helper contract unchanged: 95/95 unit tests pass.

This is a pre-existing harness bug (fails identically on #2077's own branch, which
introduced the suite) surfaced while shipping the activation feature.

* debug(ci): temporarily instrument pty-smoke skill discovery

Capture claude version, env, registry tree, and a claude -p discovery probe to
pin why /office-hours isn't discovered in CI (retries proved it's not a race).
Temporary — revert once the registry fix is identified.

* chore: revert pty-smoke harness experiments (race-retry + CI debug step)

Diagnosis is conclusive and the experiments aren't the fix, so restore the
harness to its original state (net-zero diff vs main for both files).

What the CI debug step proved: `claude -p` returns READY — claude v2.1.187 fully
DISCOVERS /office-hours from the symlinked registry. Only the interactive PTY TUI
rejects it as "Unknown command" (and it received the full command text). So the
e2e-pty-plan-smoke failure is a claude 2.1.187 interactive-TUI regression (skills
discovered by `claude -p` aren't exposed as TUI slash commands), pre-existing in
the #2077 harness and failing identically on its own origin branch — unrelated to
this activation PR. The race-retry can't help (the TUI genuinely lacks the
command); the debug step also tripped actionlint (shellcheck SC2012). Both reverted.

* fix(ci): copy SKILL.md as real files in pty-smoke registry (cross-mount symlink)

The e2e-pty-plan-smoke suite failed with "Unknown command: /office-hours" in CI
while passing locally. Root cause (proven, not guessed): claude 2.1.187's
interactive-TUI skill scanner does not follow the /github/home -> /__w cross-mount
symlink the registry used for per-skill SKILL.md. Evidence: a CI debug step showed
`claude -p` discovered the skill (printed READY), and a local macOS repro with the
identical symlinked registry recognized /office-hours — isolating the failure to
the container's cross-mount symlink, not registration content, claude version,
duplicate names, or a race.

Fix: register the per-skill SKILL.md + sections as REAL copies (same mount as
$HOME) so the TUI reads them directly. The gstack root stays a symlink — the
preamble's runtime bash resolves bin/* and sections/* through it and bash follows
cross-mount symlinks fine.

* fix(ci): guard rm expansion in pty-smoke registry (shellcheck SC2115)

* fix(ci): also register pty-smoke skills project-scoped (cwd/.claude/skills)

The real-file user-dir registration still left the TUI rejecting /office-hours in
the container. claude's interactive TUI surfaces /slash commands from the PROJECT
dir (<cwd>/.claude/skills); the smokes run with cwd=$REPO whose .claude/skills is
gitignored (absent on a fresh CI checkout), so the user-dir registry feeds
`claude -p` (READY) but not the TUI. Populate $REPO/.claude/skills with real
SKILL.md + sections copies (no gstack symlink there — it would point at its own
parent; runtime paths use the user-dir gstack symlink).

v1.58.4.0 fix: high-priority community bug wave + PTY plan-mode smoke gate (#2077)
* fix(gbrain): stop forcing GBRAIN_PREPARE on transaction-mode poolers (#1965)

buildGbrainEnv auto-set GBRAIN_PREPARE=true whenever DATABASE_URL targeted
port 6543, and the /sync-gbrain capability check exported it for the rest
of the skill run. Both had the semantics inverted: gbrain auto-disables
prepared statements on transaction-mode poolers because they break every
write there ("prepared statement does not exist"); GBRAIN_PREPARE=true is
gbrain's documented override for SESSION-mode poolers on 6543, not a
requirement for transaction mode. The #1435 search symptom the auto-set
worked around was fixed gbrain-side.

Remove both force-sets. A caller-set GBRAIN_PREPARE (either value) still
passes through untouched, preserving the session-mode-on-6543 escape hatch.
isTransactionModePooler stays exported.

* fix(gbrain): classify probe timeout as its own status; sync proceeds instead of skipping (#1964)

The 5s engine probe misclassified healthy-but-slow engines (cold Supabase
pooler connections measured at 6.9-10.7s) as broken-config, so /sync-gbrain
silently skipped code+memory and told the user their config was malformed.

- New "timeout" status: probe killed at the deadline with no recognized
  stderr pattern. Default deadline is now 15s, overridable via
  GSTACK_GBRAIN_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS (tests set 300ms against a fake that
  sleeps 2s).
- Sync stages PROCEED on timeout with a stderr warning naming the env knob;
  a genuinely-dead engine surfaces its real error at the first operation
  instead of a false config diagnosis.
- Consistency everywhere "ok" gated behavior: gstack-gbrain-detect --is-ok
  exits 0 on timeout, and gen-skill-docs' detection gate accepts it, so a
  slow engine no longer silently suppresses brain-aware features.
- Status cache: key now includes the effective probe timeout (raising it
  invalidates a cached timeout) and GBRAIN_HOME; config detection honors
  GBRAIN_HOME so relocated-home users stop being misclassified as
  missing-config.

* fix(bins): cygpath-normalize SCRIPT_DIR for bun imports; surface learnings-log errors (#1950)

Under Windows git-bash, pwd yields a POSIX path (/c/Users/...) that Bun on
Windows cannot resolve as an ES module specifier. gstack-learnings-log
interpolates SCRIPT_DIR into a bun -e import, so every invocation died with
"Cannot find module" — and 2>/dev/null swallowed the error, silently
dropping every AI-logged learning for Windows users.

- 3-line cygpath -m guard in gstack-learnings-log and gstack-question-log
  (which gains the same import shape in the next commit). Matches the
  duplicated IS_WINDOWS convention in setup; no shared shell lib exists.
- learnings-log adopts question-log's set +e / TMPERR capture pattern
  wholesale: validation errors now print to stderr. The old
  `if [ $? -ne 0 ]` check was dead code under set -euo pipefail — the
  script exited at the failing assignment before reaching it.
- New test/bin-windows-bun-import-paths.test.ts: static invariant (any
  bash bin interpolating $SCRIPT_DIR into a bun -e import must carry the
  guard) + behavioral end-to-end run invoked via `bash <bin>` — added to
  the windows-free-tests workflow list so the conversion is proven on the
  only platform where the bug exists.

* fix(question-log): dedupe INJECTION_PATTERNS via lib/jsonl-store (#1934)

bin/gstack-question-log carried a local copy of the injection-pattern list,
so pattern fixes to lib/jsonl-store.ts never propagated — including the
/override[:\s]/i false-positive fix arriving via community PR #1940.
Import the shared hasInjection instead (enabled by the previous commit's
cygpath guard). question-log also gets the lib's stricter superset
(human:, disregard, from-now-on, approve-all patterns).

Tests pin the contract in a #1940-order-independent way: an "Override:
ignore all previous instructions" header is rejected, "prose overrides the
deterministic table" is accepted, and a static invariant keeps local
INJECTION_PATTERNS duplicates out of the bin.

* fix(security): community-pulse + both dashboards never report fake zeros (#1947)

The security-signaling surface failed open at three layers — every failure
mode read as a reassuring "0 attacks" / "0 installs":

- community-pulse edge function: supabase-js returns {data,error} without
  throwing, and all five queries discarded `error` — a DB outage produced
  real-looking zeros via the SUCCESS path, and the catch (also returning
  zeros with HTTP 200) was unreachable for query failures. Every query now
  destructures and throws; the catch serves the stale cache (marked
  "stale": true) when one exists, else 503 {"error":"pulse_unavailable"}.
  Success responses carry "status":"ok" so clients can distinguish
  authoritative data from legacy backends. NOTE: the edge function deploys
  out-of-band (supabase functions deploy community-pulse).
- gstack-security-dashboard: captures the HTTP status; non-200 / network
  failure / error body / missing section → "unknown — backend error";
  jq missing → "unknown — install jq" (the lossy grep fallback broke on
  nested arrays and under-reported attacks as zero — removed); a 200
  without the new marker shows figures with an "unverified (legacy
  backend)" note. Also fixes a latent display bug: the TOTAL grep matched
  the digit 7 inside "attacks_last_7_days" and misreported every count.
- gstack-community-dashboard: same class — curl || echo "{}" plus
  grep || echo "0" printed "Weekly active installs: 0" on any failure.
  Now "unknown — backend error (HTTP N)".

test/security-dashboard-fallback.test.ts pins the matrix (200+marker,
200-legacy, 503, network failure) x (jq present, jq absent) for both bins:
"unknown" states never render as 0.

* fix(telemetry): redact error_message spans before they leave the machine (#1947)

error_message was uploaded with only quote/newline escaping — stack traces
and failed-API errors can embed credentials, private paths, and hostnames,
and the sync path strips only _repo_slug/_branch.

New lib/redact-engine.ts export redactFindingSpans(): replaces EVERY
finding's span with <REDACTED-{id}> regardless of tier (applyRedactions is
the interactive PII-only path and exits nonzero on credential findings, so
it can't serve machine egress). Returns null when a span can't be located —
callers drop the whole payload rather than risk a leak.

gstack-telemetry-log pipes error_message through it at LOG time, so the
local JSONL at rest is clean too; surrounding text survives for crash
triage. FAIL CLOSED: bun missing, engine error, or non-JSON-string output
all null the field. Tests pin: embedded ghp_ token → <REDACTED-github.pat>
with context intact; redactor unavailable → null; raw bytes on disk never
contain the token.

* fix(redact): prepush guard fails closed on git failure; /ship owns hook install (#1946)

Two gaps closed:

1. Fail closed. The git() helper returned "" on ANY non-zero exit or
   maxBuffer overflow (status null), addedLinesFor produced an empty
   string, and the push sailed through unscanned — fail-open on exactly
   the oversized-diff case where a large secret-bearing blob is most
   likely. The diff call now uses a strict variant that throws; main
   blocks with a clear message naming the GSTACK_REDACT_PREPUSH=skip
   escape valve. Probe calls (symbolic-ref, rev-parse, merge-base) keep
   the permissive helper — their failures are normal control flow.

2. Install path. The hook was installed by nothing ("opt-in, installed by
   nothing" was the issue's words). ./setup runs in the gstack checkout —
   the wrong repo for a per-project hook — so it gets a one-line hint
   only. /ship owns per-repo install: config redact_prepush_hook=true +
   hook missing → silent install (consent already given); config unset +
   no ~/.gstack/.redact-prepush-prompted marker → one-time machine-wide
   AskUserQuestion offer, answer persisted. ship/SKILL.md regenerated in
   this same commit (check-freshness bisect discipline).

Tests: unscannable diff (bogus SHAs) → exit 1 + valve named; empty-but-
successful diff → exit 0; static asserts pin setup as hint-only and the
ship template as the installer surface.

* feat(redact): six new credential patterns — GitLab, HuggingFace, npm, DigitalOcean, Bearer, GCP SA (#1946)

Coverage gaps from the #1946 security review, including token types for
tooling gstack itself drives (glab):

HIGH (block): gitlab.token (glpat-/glptt-/gldt-), huggingface.token (hf_),
npm.token (npm_), digitalocean.token (dop_v1_), gcp.service_account (the
JSON-escaped "private_key" form that dodges pem.private_key's literal-block
match when minified, confirmed by "private_key_id" proximity).

MEDIUM (warn): auth.bearer — the most FP-prone shape in the set (docs are
full of "Authorization: Bearer <token>"), so it requires header-context
proximity and the same entropy>=3.0 + placeholder validator recipe as
env.kv. "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" never fires; calibration over coverage,
per the cries-wolf principle.

All shapes are linear-time; test/redact-pattern-lint.test.ts covers them
automatically. Engine tests add positive + placeholder-negative cases per
pattern.

* test: coverage-audit additions for the fix wave

Ship Step 7 gap-fill (all passing, 248 tests across the touched suites):
memory + dream stage probe-timeout proceeds, gbrain-detect override paths,
stale-flag passthrough, 200-body-missing-.security fail-closed case,
telemetry redaction edges, and credential-pattern edge cases.

* fix: pre-landing review fixes

Review army findings (1 critical, auto-fixed with regression tests):

- CRITICAL (security specialist, verified live): redactFindingSpans spliced
  only the regex capture span, and pem.private_key / gcp.service_account
  capture just the BEGIN-header — the key body survived "redaction" and
  shipped via telemetry. Marker-only patterns now drop the whole payload
  (null, fail closed). Overlapping spans (Bearer+JWT on the same bytes) are
  coalesced before splicing so stale offsets can't leave partial secret
  bytes behind.
- gitStrict: drop the dead `|| r.status === null` disjunct (null !== 0
  already covers it); add the signal-kill/null-status regression test the
  docstring promised.
- security-dashboard human mode flags stale snapshots ("figures may be out
  of date") instead of presenting frozen counts as current.
- community-dashboard marker check uses jq when available — the grep-only
  variant misclassified whitespaced/reserialized bodies as legacy.
- telemetry fail-closed test now shadows bun with a failing stub
  (deterministic on any host layout); stale "five status cases" describe
  title renamed.

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

* fix: adversarial review fixes (Claude + Codex cross-model passes)

Both adversarial passes ran against the wave; every FIXABLE finding landed
with a regression test:

- probeTimeoutMs clamps to >=1ms: a fractional override floored to 0, and
  execFileSync treats timeout:0 as NO timeout — the probe that exists to
  bound hangs could hang forever (found by both models independently).
- /ship silent hook install now requires the hooks dir to live inside
  .git: with core.hooksPath (husky's COMMITTED .husky/), the chaining
  installer would have renamed the team's committed pre-push and written a
  machine-local wrapper into the working tree (found by both models).
- gstack-config gbrain-refresh accepts the "timeout" status — the last
  consumer still gating on literal "ok" (Codex); gstack-gbrain-detect's
  config-derived fields honor GBRAIN_HOME so the detection JSON can't
  report status ok alongside config_exists false (Codex).
- prepush: a remote sha absent locally (shallow clone / stale fetch) falls
  back to the merge-base/empty-tree range — scans MORE, never blocks a
  legitimate push into training users toward --no-verify.
- dashboards: curl's own 000 no longer doubles to "HTTP 000000"; the
  community dashboard flags stale snapshots like the security one; array
  sections parse via jq (the sed/grep loops truncated at the first ']');
  the no-jq marker grep tolerates whitespace.
- telemetry: multi-line redactor output nulls the field instead of
  corrupting the JSONL record; setup's hint fires only when the config key
  is genuinely unset (an explicit false is a recorded decline); the /ship
  prompt marker honors GSTACK_HOME.

Kept as designed (cross-model tension noted): Bearer stays MEDIUM in the
prepush gate — a HIGH Bearer would block every docs example; the entropy
validator can't eliminate that FP class, and MEDIUM warns visibly.

Root-caused during this ship: a killed eval run was indistinguishable from a

* test: fix operational-learning E2E fixture — copy lib/jsonl-store.ts

Pre-existing breakage, proven on main: gstack-learnings-log has imported
lib/jsonl-store.ts (shared injection patterns) since v1.57.5.0 / #1910, but
the fixture copies only the bin scripts — the bin exits 1 before writing
anything, on main silently (stderr swallowed) and on this branch loudly
(the #1950 error-surfacing made the four-day-old failure visible). A real
install always ships bin/ and lib/ together; the fixture now does too.
Verified: the fixture-shaped invocation writes the learning (exit 0) with
lib present, exits 1 on both main and this branch without it.

* fix(ios-qa): isolate E2E tests under --concurrent (3 real races)

The ios-qa E2E file failed intermittently under `bun test --concurrent`
(the eval harness default). Three distinct shared-state races, all fixed:

1. Shared pidfile: a module-level `workDir` reassigned in beforeEach was
   clobbered by parallel tests, so concurrent daemons collided on the same
   pidfile and the loser returned `already_running`. Each test now gets its
   own dir via makeWorkDir().
2. process.env path globals: tests set GSTACK_IOS_AUDIT_PATH /
   _ATTEMPTS_PATH / _ALLOWLIST_PATH on the shared process env; concurrent
   tests stomped each other's audit/attempts destinations. Threaded
   auditPath/attemptsPath/allowlistPath through DaemonOptions (and
   mintForCaller) as explicit args — env is no longer load-bearing.
3. afterEach cleanup race: the per-test cleanup drained a shared dir array,
   so the first test to finish deleted still-running tests' workDirs
   mid-assertion. Moved to afterAll (cleans once, after all settle).

Verified: 5/5 clean full-suite runs at --max-concurrency 15 (was
intermittent); daemon unit suite 91/91; daemon source compiles. The paths
default to the env-derived locations when options are omitted, so the
production CLI path is unchanged.

* test(pty): pin spawned claude to EVALS model chain (default claude-sonnet-4-6)

launchClaudePty spawned the interactive `claude` TUI with no --model flag, so
the child inherited the operator's ~/.claude/settings.json model. On a
slow-thinking model that meant 5+ min of extended thinking on empty plan-mode
context, timing out the plan-mode smoke tests regardless of contention. Pin the
model via opts.model ?? EVALS_MODEL ?? 'claude-sonnet-4-6' — byte-identical to
session-runner.ts:144, so PTY and `claude -p` evals always agree.

Pushed before extraArgs (last flag wins, so a per-test --model still overrides).
Placement leaves the spawn region byte-stable for a clean merge with the
in-flight hermetic-env branch. Plumbed model through the three plan-skill
wrappers. Static-grep tripwires guard the pin, its fallback chain, the
before-extraArgs ordering, and all three wrapper forwards.

* test(pty): detect markdown bold-bullet prose AUQs (fixes office-hours smoke)

office-hours auto-mode renders its mode question as `- **Building a startup**`
markdown bullets (office-hours/SKILL.md.tmpl:102) with no letter/number marker.
isProseAUQVisible only matched `A)`-style lettered or `1.`-style numbered
options, so the question went undetected: the model surfaced it at ~2m19s
(well under the 300s budget) but the harness kept scoring the run "working"
off the spinner glyphs and timed out — a false timeout on a question that was
already on screen.

Add Pattern 3: when an interrogative line ('?') is present AND 3+ bold-bullet
markers (`- **`) appear in the 4KB tail, classify as a prose AUQ. Bold is the
discriminator vs incidental prose bullets; the line anchor is dropped (stripAnsi
can collapse option lines) and the existing `❯ 1.` cursor gate still defers to a
live native list. Wires through the existing classifyVisible 'asked' path and the
timeout high-water-mark, so office-hours now classifies 'asked' instead of
'timeout'. Five unit cases: the office-hours render passes; no-'?', <3-bullet,
plain-bullet, and native-cursor cases stay false.

* test(pty): detect stripAnsi-collapsed prose AUQs + judge spinner-precedence

The plan-eng/plan-design plan-mode + finding-floor smokes timed out even when
the skill HAD rendered a complete prose AskUserQuestion and was waiting: the PTY
strips cursor-positioning escapes, collapsing the option newlines/spaces so
"A) ..." arrives as "A(recommended)" / "-B:" and "Reply with A, B, or C" as
"ReplywithA,B,orC". Every line-anchored detector (Patterns 1-3) returns false on
those bytes, so proseAUQEverObserved never latched and the run timed out on a
question that was already on screen.

Add Pattern 4/5: a two-signal collapsed-form detector — a reply/recommendation
marker (space-insensitive "reply with [A-D]", "Recommendation:", or
"(recommended)") AND 2+ distinct A-D letters each punctuated by ) : or (. The
conjunction is what separates a real AUQ from incidental report prose; verified
true on the verbatim failing-run buffers where Patterns 1-3 return false.

Also fix the Haiku judge spinner bias: of 614 verdicts, 569 were 'working' and
95 of those noted a question was visible — Claude Code keeps the spinner
animating at an idle prose decision, so the judge coin-flipped. Add a precedence
override: when an option list AND a Recommendation/Reply instruction are both
visible, classify WAITING even with spinner glyphs. Kept the strict dual-signal
gate (never option-list-alone) so auto-decide-preserved doesn't flip.

5 unit tests pin the two-signal contract (2 true on real collapsed bytes, 3
false guards). 90 -> 95 pass.

* feat(plan-review): ask-first scope gate for plan-eng + plan-design review

On an empty/cold invocation, plan-eng-review and plan-design-review would dive
straight into repo exploration (plan-eng) or a 7-pass mockup+audit (plan-design)
and only ask the user much later, if at all. plan-ceo-review already asks first
via an unconditional Step-0 gate and behaves well; these two did not.

Add a hard-STOP scope gate as the FIRST operational instruction in each skill
(above the design-doc check / pre-review audit / mockup defaults it explicitly
overrides): the first tool call must be AskUserQuestion confirming the review
target, before any git/Read/Grep/Glob/Bash or mockup generation. Under
--disallowedTools the options render as plain column-0 lettered prose with a
Recommendation + "Reply with A, B, or C" line so the answer is detectable.

This is correct cold-start UX (confirm what to review before grinding a full
review on nothing) and it is the product half of the plan-mode smoke fix; the
harness collapsed-form detector is the deterministic half that catches the ask
however it renders. Templates + regenerated SKILL.md (default variant).

* test(tiers): reclassify stochastic plan-eng/plan-design ask-first smokes as periodic

plan-eng-review and plan-design-review run a long explore/audit before their
first AskUserQuestion, so whether the plan-mode + finding-floor smokes reach a
terminal outcome within the 300s/600s budget depends on stochastic ask-first
compliance (measured ~50-67%/run even with the hardened gate). Per the
"non-deterministic -> periodic" tiering rule, move the four affected smokes
(plan-eng/plan-design review-plan-mode + finding-floor) to periodic.

The deterministic harness fix (collapsed-form detector + judge precedence) and
the ask-first gate lift these from always-failing to mostly-passing and are the
real product+harness improvements; periodic monitoring tracks the rate weekly
without blocking PRs on an LLM coin-flip. plan-ceo/plan-devex ask-first reliably
and stay gate-tier.

* ci(evals): gate the deterministic PTY plan-mode smokes in CI

The real-PTY plan-mode smokes never ran in CI — the gate was local-only. Add an
e2e-pty-plan-smoke matrix suite running the two deterministically-reliable ones
(office-hours-auto-mode, plan-mode-no-op) so a regression there blocks PRs. The
stochastic plan-eng/plan-design ask-first smokes stay periodic (touchfiles
E2E_TIERS) and are not CI-gated.

A fresh CI container has no ~/.claude.json, so the spawned interactive `claude`
would wedge on the onboarding + API-key-approval dialog. Add a scoped seed step
(hasCompletedOnboarding + key approval, its own ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env) before the
run — mirrors what the hermetic E2E child env seeds. Per-suite timeout override
(35 min) via matrix.suite.timeout so the PTY suite has headroom for --retry 2
without bumping the other 12 suites. Report runner count 12 -> 13.

Validate via workflow_dispatch before relying on the gate (PTY-in-CI is new).

* ci(evals): install gstack skill registry for the PTY smoke suite

The first dry-run of e2e-pty-plan-smoke failed: the spawned interactive `claude`
printed "Unknown command: /plan-ceo-review". .claude/skills is gitignored, so a
fresh CI checkout has no gstack skill registry and the TUI can't resolve
/office-hours or /plan-ceo-review.

Add a Register step (scoped to the suite, after Seed, before Run) that mirrors
setup's --no-prefix user-scoped registry minimally: $HOME/.claude/skills/gstack
-> repo (resolves the preambles' absolute ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/* and
<skill>/sections/* paths) + per-skill SKILL.md/sections symlinks for the two
skills these tests invoke. HOME is /github/home in this container and the runner
adds no HOME/CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR override (no hermetic mode), so $HOME is the right
anchor — the Seed step already proved claude reads it. No ./setup (binary build
+ Chromium + fonts + /dev/tty prompt); SKILL.md + bin/ + sections/ are committed.

Self-validating: fails the step loudly on a dangling symlink or missing
`name:` frontmatter, so a moved target surfaces here instead of as a silent
35-min "Unknown command" timeout.

v1.58.3.0 feat: gbrowser anti-detection Layer C stealth (#2047)
* feat: Layer C stealth — chrome.*, Notification, per-install hardware, toString Proxy (gbrowser T1+T3+D6)

Three additions stacked into the existing applyStealth() init script
to close the visible automation tells that today push GBrowser users
into Google's /sorry/index captcha and similar:

T1 — Strip Playwright's automation default args:
  --enable-automation                              (kills "Chrome is being
                                                    controlled" infobar)
  --disable-popup-blocking, --disable-component-update,
  --disable-default-apps                           (Patchright's list — each
                                                    is a documented tell)

  Now centralized in STEALTH_IGNORE_DEFAULT_ARGS export, used by BOTH
  launchHeaded() and handoff() (the headless → headed re-launch path).

D6 — Drop "GStackBrowser" UA branding suffix:
  Real Chrome's UA ends `Safari/537.36`, not `Safari/537.36 GStackBrowser`.
  The branded suffix was a high-entropy classifier for any vendor that
  grep'd UA for known automation/test-browser strings. Branding still
  lives in the wrapper .app name + Dock icon + tray — does not need
  to leak via the UA string for the product to be "GBrowser." Resolves
  the "looks like Chrome but identifies as GStackBrowser" contradiction
  codex review #18 flagged.

T3 — Layer C init-script additions in stealth.ts:

  1. Function.prototype.toString Proxy (must run first). Wraps every
     patched getter / function in a WeakSet so they report
     `function NAME() { [native code] }` at every recursion depth,
     defeating the depth-3+ integrity check
     (fn.toString.toString.toString().includes('[native code]')).

  2. window.chrome.runtime / chrome.app / chrome.csi / chrome.loadTimes
     restoration with full enum shape (OnInstalledReason, PlatformArch,
     PlatformOs, etc.) + method bodies. Real Chrome ships these; their
     absence is universally checked. Vendor research (gbrowser plan
     deep-dive on Cloudflare + DataDome) confirmed both vendors probe
     this shape directly.

  3. Notification.permission aligned to 'default'. The existing inline
     addInitScript already spoofs permissions.query({name:'notifications'})
     to return 'prompt' — Notification.permission being 'denied' while
     Permissions returns 'prompt' is a cross-source inconsistency that
     detectors flag specifically.

  4. Per-install hardware values via GSTACK_HW_CONCURRENCY /
     GSTACK_DEVICE_MEMORY env vars (set by gbd's host_profile.go from
     system_profiler + sysctl). Reporting real host values within the
     Chrome shape avoids the cross-user GBrowser fingerprint cluster
     that hardcoded defaults would create. Codex review #10 flagged
     hardcoding as creating contradictions across Apple Silicon / Intel
     / UA-CH architecture.

  5. Selenium 25-global cleanup + PhantomJS + NightmareJS + Watir +
     Playwright (__pwInitScripts, __playwright__binding__) static-name
     deletion. The inline block continues to handle the dynamic
     cdc_/__webdriver/__selenium/__driver prefixes.

D7 (codex correction) kept: still do NOT fake navigator.plugins or
navigator.languages. Synthesizing those triggers MORE consistency
flags from modern fingerprinters than letting Chromium surface them
natively.

Test coverage:
- 15 new tests in stealth-layer-c.test.ts covering: launch-flag
  exports, script structure, toString-Proxy installs first, every
  spoof present, hardware values interpolated from input (not
  hardcoded), Selenium global cleanup spot-check, no GStackBrowser
  leak in stealth payload, backwards-compat exports preserved.
- All 8 existing stealth-webdriver tests still pass.
- All 2 existing browser-manager-unit tests still pass.

For GBrowser specifically: this is the gstack-side half of Phase 1 / T1
+ T3 + D6 in the anti-detection plan. The gbrowser repo's submodule
pointer bump will land alongside this.

* feat: buildGStackLaunchArgs — Pack 1 cmdline-switch construction for gbrowser

New stealth.ts export that turns the GSTACK_* env vars (already populated
by gbrowser's gbd from host_profile.go) into the --gstack-* cmdline
switches the Pack 1 Chromium patches read at WebGL getParameter,
NavigatorUA::userAgentData, NavigatorConcurrentHardware::hardwareConcurrency,
and NavigatorDeviceMemory::deviceMemory time.

Wired into all three launchArgs sites: launch() (headless), launchHeaded()
(real product path), and handoff() (headless → headed re-launch).

Mapping:
  GSTACK_GPU_VENDOR      → --gstack-gpu-vendor
  GSTACK_GPU_RENDERER    → --gstack-gpu-renderer
  GSTACK_PLATFORM        → --gstack-ua-platform (with mapping:
                            MacARM/MacIntel → macOS, Win32 → Windows,
                            Linux x86_64 → Linux)
  GSTACK_GPU_CHIPSET     → --gstack-ua-model
  GSTACK_HW_CONCURRENCY  → --gstack-hw-concurrency
  GSTACK_DEVICE_MEMORY   → --gstack-device-memory

Each switch is emitted only when its env var is non-empty — empty
values fall through to the patch's "no override" path, which returns
the real Chromium native value. Safe to ship on Chromium builds
without the Pack 1 patches applied (zero behavior change).

The patches themselves live in the gbrowser repo at chromium/patches/
{webgl-vendor-spoof,ua-client-hints-stealth,worker-navigator-stealth}.patch.
Both halves (gstack arg construction + gbrowser C++ patches) must
land + Chromium rebuild before the spoof reaches the WebGL/UA-CH/
hardware accessors. Currently dormant until then.

Tests (browse/test/stealth-layer-c.test.ts):
  7 new buildGStackLaunchArgs cases — empty env, all-populated, partial,
  platform mapping (MacARM/MacIntel/Win32/Linux), unrecognized platform
  fallthrough, vendor-with-spaces escape-safety.
  All 32 stealth/browser-manager tests pass.

For GBrowser specifically: gstack-side half of the Pack 1 flag plumbing.
gbrowser repo will bump the submodule pointer to this commit, then re-run
bun run test/anti-bot/evidence-run.ts to verify creepjs's "33% headless"
score drops after Pack 1 + Chromium rebuild.

* feat: buildGStackLaunchArgs adds --gstack-suppress-prepare-stack-trace

Pack 2 / B11 flag plumbing for the new
error-preparestacktrace-stealth.patch in gbrowser/chromium/patches/.

Always emit --gstack-suppress-prepare-stack-trace unless the caller
explicitly sets GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH=off in the environment. Off by
default in patch behavior (no-op without the C++ patch), so this is
safe on stock Playwright Chromium too.

Closes the Cloudflare canary trick where a page sets
Error.prepareStackTrace and watches for it to fire during CDP
serialization of a logged Error object.

Tests:
  All 33 stealth/browser-manager tests pass. New cases:
  - GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH=off disables suppression
  - empty env still emits the always-on flag (count=1)
  - all-populated env now emits 7 flags (was 6)

* fix(browse): enable Chromium sandbox on headed launchPersistentContext

Mirrors v1.40.0.1 from main lineage (PR #1617). Cherry-picked onto
gbrowser-anti-detection so the GBrowser submodule can consume the fix
without waiting for main to merge.

Playwright auto-adds --no-sandbox whenever chromiumSandbox !== true
(playwright-core/lib/server/chromium/chromium.js:291-292). The headless
chromium.launch() site set the option; the two headed sites
(launchHeaded() and handoff()) did not. Every headed launch on macOS
and Linux showed Chromium's yellow "unsupported command-line flag:
--no-sandbox" infobar.

shouldEnableChromiumSandbox() centralizes the Win32 / CI / CONTAINER /
root heuristic that previously lived only in the headless path's
explicit --no-sandbox push at :225. All three launch sites now use the
helper, and six unit tests pin the policy across darwin, linux, win32,
CI, CONTAINER, and root.

* v1.40.0.2 fix(browse): Cmd+Q on managed Chromium stops triggering supervisor respawn

Three browser.on('disconnected') handlers in browse/src/browser-manager.ts
(launch, launchHeaded, handoff) each exited with a non-zero code on every
disconnect, regardless of cause. Process supervisors that consume our exit
code (gbrowser's gbd HealthMonitor in cmd/gbd/health.go) treated user
Cmd+Q identical to a Chromium crash and respawned with exponential
backoff, so the visible browser kept reappearing after the user closed it.

Add resolveDisconnectCause(browser) that reads the underlying ChildProcess
exitCode + signalCode (waiting up to 1s for the exit event if the
disconnected event fired first). Exit code 0 + no signal = clean user
quit; anything else = crash, signal-kill, or OOM.

Wire the resolver into all three disconnect handlers:
- launch() (headless): clean → exit 0, crash → exit 1 (was always 1)
- launchHeaded() (headed): clean → exit 0, crash → exit 2 (was always 2)
  onDisconnect() cleanup callback still runs in both cases.
- handoff() (re-launch): same as launch() via the helper.

Preserve the per-path crash codes (1 vs 2) so any supervisor that
differentiated headed vs headless crashes keeps working.

Seven new unit tests in browse-manager-unit.test.ts cover the resolver
across already-exited, signal-killed (SIGSEGV / SIGKILL), async exits,
and null-browser inputs.

* fix(browse): apply stealth on every launch path + share automation-artifact cleanup

handoff() built cmdline args but never called applyStealth, so a handed-off
browser had no JS stealth (no webdriver mask, no chrome.* shape, no toString
proxy). And the cdc_/Permissions cleanup shim lived inline in launchHeaded()
only, so headless launch() reported Notification.permission='default' without
the matching permissions.query='prompt' answer — the exact cross-source
inconsistency the shim exists to prevent.

Move the cleanup into AUTOMATION_ARTIFACT_CLEANUP_SCRIPT inside applyStealth so
all three launch paths (launch, launchHeaded, handoff) get identical stealth,
and call applyStealth(newContext) in handoff() before restoreState() navigates.

A static tripwire in browser-manager-unit.test.ts fails CI if any launch path
drops the applyStealth call again.

* fix(browse): make --gstack-suppress-prepare-stack-trace opt-in, not default-on

buildGStackLaunchArgs() pushed the flag unless GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH=off, i.e.
on-by-default — contradicting its own comment ("off by default, only for
gbrowser builds"). The switch is read by a C++ patch that only exists in
gbrowser; on stock Playwright Chromium it is an unknown switch.

Flip to opt-in: emit only when GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH is on/1/true. gbd opts in by
exporting GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH=on; stock installs leave it unset so the flag
never reaches a Chromium that wouldn't understand it. Comment now matches code.

* docs(browse): correct stale stealth comments

The file-level stealth.ts docstring claimed "we DON'T fake navigator.plugins"
while the same file now ships EXTENDED_STEALTH_SCRIPT, which does fake plugins
when GSTACK_STEALTH=extended. Clarify that Layer C (the always-on default)
doesn't fake plugins and the opt-in extended mode does, as the documented
"actively lies, may break sites" escape hatch.

Also fix the launch()/launchHeaded() comments that said "mask navigator.webdriver
only" — applyStealth (Layer C) also restores window.chrome.*, aligns
Notification.permission, and sets per-install hardware.

* test(browse): runtime + extended-mode coverage for the stealth blend

The stealth tests were all static string-shape assertions; nothing executed
the script in a real page. Add real-Chromium runtime checks via applyStealth +
page.evaluate:

- Layer C runtime: window.chrome.* rich shape, Notification.permission='default'
  paired with permissions.query notifications='prompt' (guards the shim now
  running on every path), and patched getters reporting [native code].
- Per-install hardware: navigator.hardwareConcurrency/deviceMemory reflect the
  GSTACK_* env profile.
- Extended-mode blend: navigator.plugins is faked when GSTACK_STEALTH=extended,
  Layer C still wins window.chrome.runtime, and navigator.webdriver stays false
  (own-prop getter survives extended's prototype delete).
- Persistent-context (launchHeaded/handoff) parity now uses a page created
  AFTER applyStealth — the old test checked pages()[0], which predates the init
  script, so webdriver was false only via the launch arg, not Layer C.

* fix(browse): handoff() + launchHeaded() spread the shared STEALTH_LAUNCH_ARGS

handoff() built its launch args from only ['--hide-crash-restore-bubble',
...buildGStackLaunchArgs()], omitting STEALTH_LAUNCH_ARGS — so a handed-off
browser kept the --disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled tell that
launch() and launchHeaded() strip. launchHeaded() also hardcoded the flag as a
literal. Both now spread the shared constant, so the AutomationControlled flag
lives in one place across all three launch paths.

Tripwires: STEALTH_LAUNCH_ARGS spread into >= 3 sites (no inline literal) and
STEALTH_IGNORE_DEFAULT_ARGS wired into both persistent-context paths.

* refactor(browse): drop dead HostProfile.platform, export test internals

HostProfile.platform was set by readHostProfile but never read by
buildStealthScript — the platform spoof is owned by the UA-CH cmdline switch in
buildGStackLaunchArgs (which reads GSTACK_PLATFORM directly). Remove the dead
field. Export readHostProfile and AUTOMATION_ARTIFACT_CLEANUP_SCRIPT so their
clamp/shape invariants can be unit-tested. Correct the stale "25 Selenium
globals" count comment and note the extended cdc_ scan is redundant-but-retained
for standalone use.

* test(browse): cover readHostProfile clamp, toString depth-3, chrome.* calls

Pre-landing review coverage gaps:
- readHostProfile clamps 0/negative/NaN/missing env to 8 (a deviceMemory=0 or
  NaN would be a glaring bot tell) — now asserted.
- toString proxy survives the depth-3 recursion trick
  (fn.toString.toString.toString().includes('[native code]')), the headline
  claim that was only tested at depth-1.
- chrome.csi() and chrome.loadTimes() are invoked (not just typeof-checked) and
  runtime.connect() throws the native-shaped "No matching signature" error.
- AUTOMATION_ARTIFACT_CLEANUP_SCRIPT static shape (cdc_/__webdriver strip +
  notifications->prompt) as a hermetic backup for the live-Chromium pairing test.

* fix(browse): recreateContext() re-applies stealth (closes 4th un-stealth path)

useragent and viewport --scale route through recreateContext(), which rebuilds
the BrowserContext via newContext() — a fresh context with no init scripts. It
never called applyStealth, so a routine useragent/viewport-scale command
silently dropped webdriver masking, window.chrome.* shape, hardware spoof, and
the cdc/Permissions cleanup on every restored page. Caught by the cross-model
adversarial review (Codex) after the Claude pass and eng review missed it.

Both the main and fallback paths now call applyStealth before any page is
created. The launch-path tripwire is raised to >= 4 sites and now asserts the
recreateContext() body specifically, so the regression class can't recur.

Also documents the load-bearing trust assumption on buildGStackLaunchArgs /
readHostProfile (GSTACK_* must be gbd-sourced, never page/remote data — the
injection-safety argument depends on it) and the notifications-permission
spoof tradeoff.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.58.3.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: sync browser stealth docs to Layer C (v1.58.3.0)

BROWSER.md "Stealth scope" still described the default as navigator.webdriver
masking only; Layer C is now the always-on default across all four
context-creation paths. Update the stealth-scope prose, the "What GStack
Browser means" blurb (stock-Chrome UA, no GStackBrowser suffix, captchas can
still get through at the CDP layer), the stealth.ts source-map line, and the
env-vars table (GSTACK_STEALTH, GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH, GSTACK_GPU_*, GSTACK_PLATFORM,
GSTACK_HW_CONCURRENCY/GSTACK_DEVICE_MEMORY + the explicit --gstack-* switches and
ignoreDefaultArgs stripping). Correct the stale "narrows to navigator.webdriver
masking only" premise on the open CDP-patch TODO (the TODO itself stays open —
the CDP-protocol layer is still unaddressed).
