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).

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.62.0.0)

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.

* test: refresh ship golden baselines for the plan-mode preamble reword

The generate-completion-status.ts wording change ('any AskUserQuestion the
skill fires…') intentionally regenerates every SKILL.md; the byte-compare
goldens carry the generator's output and refresh with it.

* 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.
