The 9 make-pdf/test/e2e gate tests probe make-pdf/dist/pdf, browse/dist/browse, and the diagram-render bundle, then self-skip when absent. The required free-tests lane never built any of them, so the gates silently skipped on Linux for their entire life (verified: 9 of 14 skip, exit 0). make-pdf-gate.yml's justification for deleting its Linux leg claimed the free lane covered this — it didn't. - new build:gates script: exactly the three artifacts the gates probe (full bun run build compiles five binaries; ~60-90s tax on the only required check is not warranted) - free-tests.yml: build:gates step + poppler-utils + fonts-noto-color-emoji (fonts must precede the first browse daemon launch — Chromium snapshots fontconfig at startup; verified live: a warm daemon renders tofu, a fresh one embeds NotoColorEmoji) - make-pdf/test/e2e/ci-prereqs.test.ts: GSTACK_EXPECT_BINARIES=1 (set by the workflow) inverts the skip polarity in CI — dropping the build step or poppler fails the lane instead of re-opening the silent-skip hole Pre-flight: all 9 gates green on Linux locally.

- delete the vestigial e2e-codex / e2e-gemini matrix rows: both files
are whole-file periodic-tier, so with no row tier: they ran ZERO
tests and reported green on every PR (~2 min of runner each, pure
false confidence; the periodic lane owns those suites)
- e2e-pty-plan-smoke gains tier: gate — its two files are whole-file
describeE2ETier('gate'), so the job burned ~7 min of container setup
then skipped every describe
- KNOWN_TIER_UNSET burned down to empty; the ratchet stays armed so a
future row/file tier mismatch fails the suite instead of shipping
hollow green

- evals.yml / evals-periodic.yml evals jobs: explicit contents:read + packages:read (container-image pull) and persist-credentials:false — the jobs that execute PR-authored code with three provider API keys ran on the repo-default token grant with the token written into .git/config - permissions blocks for the 4 workflows that had none (skill-docs, make-pdf-gate, windows-free-tests, windows-setup-e2e) - fork-safe concurrency keys: actionlint, skill-docs, make-pdf-gate, windows-setup-e2e switch from head_ref to PR-number keying — a bare branch name carries no fork prefix, so same-name branches from two forks shared one group and cancelled each other's runs Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Lanes disagreed four ways: 1.3.13 (free-tests, windows, Dockerfile.ci), latest (quality-gate, make-pdf-gate), unpinned (skill-docs, version-gate — setup-bun installs latest), 1.3.10 (.gitlab-ci.yml). Different Bun versions change the runner output shapes the strict classifiers regex-match, spawn semantics, and shell parsing — a lane on a different Bun tests a different product; Dockerfile.ci's own comment records this class biting once already (silent 1.3.13/1.3.14 drift). All surfaces pinned to 1.3.13; test/bun-version-drift.test.ts scans every workflow setup-bun stanza + Dockerfile.ci + .gitlab-ci.yml and fails on any mismatch or unpinned stanza. skill-docs also gains --frozen-lockfile (was bare bun install).

evals.yml, evals-periodic.yml, and ci-image.yml each compute the CI
image tag from hashFiles('.github/docker/Dockerfile.ci', 'bun.lock',
'patches/**') — synced by comment only (TODOS.md 'CI three-way
image-tag drift'). If one input list drifts, that workflow computes a
different tag for the same content: eval lanes silently rebuild the
image every run, or ci-image prebuilds a tag nobody looks up. The test
extracts each tag-computation site and fails on any mismatch.

- package.json out of the trigger paths: the tag hash deliberately excludes it (version bumps every ship), so every merge rebuilt and re-pushed the IDENTICAL tag (~2m26s for zero content change); patches/** added (it IS a tag input) - manifest existence check (mirrors evals.yml): tag already exists → skip the build - concurrency group: two rapid main pushes raced pushing the same :latest/:buildcache tags - cron staggered 06:00→04:00 Monday: it shared the exact minute with evals-periodic, which could race a half-pushed tag or duplicate the build - timeout-minutes: 30 (was unbounded → 360-min default for a hung docker build) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
fetch-depth:0 cost 74 of the job's 92 seconds; the three gates it feeds take ~12s combined. Shallow checkout + exact-SHA fetches for the diff's base/head (an exact-SHA fetch, not a guessed depth — long-lived branches and merge queues still resolve), with a --deepen fallback for push events whose 'before' is unusable. timeout right-sized 20→10 min.

Five files assigned process.env.GSTACK_HOME at module scope. Shard processes evaluate sibling modules before running their tests, so the assignment leaked into every other file in the shard — the damage was already visible in defensive workarounds (relink.test.ts:28 'fresh install test saw a neighbor's skill_prefix'; cdp-e2e's own comment documents a sibling's temp dir baked into artifacts). Pattern: save original, assign in beforeAll, restore in afterAll (cdp-e2e already restored but still assigned at load — its window now matches the others). GSTACK_TELEMETRY_OFF and GSTACK_PROJECT_SLUG get the same treatment where they rode along. Victim files' defenses stay in place (cheap insurance).

Column-0 assignment of GSTACK_HOME / GSTACK_STATE_ROOT in any tracked *.test.ts fails with the file:line and the fix (beforeAll + afterAll restore). Kills the cross-file env-leak class the previous commit swept. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The hand-maintained 39-name SKILL_GLOBS list had drifted to 39 of 54 SKILL.md.tmpl on disk. No live gap today (none of the 15 unlisted skills is interactive), but the next interactive skill would have landed unguarded with zero signal. The audit now walks top-level dirs for SKILL.md.tmpl (statSync so symlinked dirs like connect-chrome count), so new skills are in scope the commit they appear.

New 'judge' kind in DEFAULTS (sonnet — the D1a pin-on-regressors calibration stands; model CHOICE unchanged) and callJudge resolves through it: explicit arg > GSTACK_EVAL_MODEL_JUDGE > GSTACK_EVAL_MODEL > default. 429 handling upgraded from one fixed 1s retry (reliably lost races at CI concurrency) to three jittered exponential retries (~1s/4s/16s), honoring the server's retry-after when present.

skill-e2e-spec-execute (600s budget) and skill-llm-eval-spec (300s) reported PASS on every periodic run while asserting nothing.

extension-sender-auth's two privileged-message denial tests (content script + missing sender.url — the extension's security boundary) and snapshot's three skips were quarantined 'pre-existing' failures. Root cause: machine-local state on the quarantining dev machines — the test and gate code are byte-identical between the quarantining commit (410b492) and HEAD, and all five pass deterministically on a clean checkout (68/68 across both files, multiple runs). No assertions weakened, no product changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
carve-section-loading, codex-e2e-plan-format, codex-e2e-recommendation-substance, and llm-judge-recommendation gated on EVALS/tier (free suite loads them as describe.skip) but their names fell outside PAID_TEST_GLOBS, so no paid lane ever selected them — net execution zero, forever. The existing matrix tripwire filtered on isPaidTestFile() first, so it was blind to exactly this class (the same bug that hid the pre-split monolith's gate tests for ~8 releases). - PAID_TEST_GLOBS: codex-e2e* + skill-llm-eval* wildcards (replacing exact names) + llm-judge-recommendation + carve-section-loading; package.json's six test-script glob lists mirrored - codex-e2e-plan-format gains the explicit periodic tier gate its siblings carry (external-service rule) — without it the sharded runner's no-guard default would spawn Codex in the gate tier per PR - eval:bg:periodic --timeout 32400→37800: the census growth pushed the periodic worst case to 35910s; the old value had 270s of headroom BEFORE this change and would now kill healthy runs mid-flight - new test/paid-orphan-tripwire.test.ts: any EVALS/tier-gated test file outside the globs fails the free suite (reasoned SCANNER_EXEMPT for the gate helpers + meta-tests) — the class-killer - paid-shards pins updated: the four orphans now assert INSIDE the census Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Closes the Windows Free Tests red: recent lane failures showed a
platform-unguarded POSIX mode-bit assertion ('Expected: 493' — a
symlink-skip test) from PR-branch variants; the KNOWN_WINDOWS_SAFE
force-include reason ('mode-bitmask hits are POSIX-branch only') did
not hold for that shape, and main had neither the guard nor the
behavior.
- product: lstat first; a symlinked dir gets a warning and a skip on
both platforms — chmod AND icacls dereference the link, so
restricting through a symlink hardens an unvetted target (and
/inheritance:r could lock out its real owner). All callers already
treat hardening as best-effort (try/catch).
- test: the symlink regression test, platform-aware — symlinkSync in
the house try/catch skip pattern (Windows runners without Developer
Mode can't create symlinks), mode-bit assertion guarded off win32,
behavior assertions (no throw, warning text, target readable)
everywhere; POSIX still proves the skip (0o755 unchanged, not 0o700)
- KNOWN_WINDOWS_SAFE reason updated to the now-true premise
20/20 pass on Linux.

… sites
Six paid PTY tests wrote their expected plan artifact to a FIXED shared
/tmp path ('/tmp/gstack-test-plan-<mode>.md') and rmSync'd it in
finally — under --retry 1, EVALS_JOBS>1, or two concurrent worktrees, a
sibling's cleanup deletes this run's artifact and the D19 'agent did
not produce expected plan file' assertion fires spuriously. Each test
now mkdtemps its own dir, interpolates the unique path into the agent
prompt (fixture-sourced prompts get a replaceAll + drift guard that
throws if the fixture's literal ever moves), and cleans up its own dir.
The 18 cwd:-into-the-live-repo sites were audited: all deliberate
(skill registry + hermetic pre-trusted dir, in-repo gen renders, git
history reads, slug resolution) — each now carries a
'// LIVE-REPO CWD: <reason>' comment so the next audit can tell
deliberate from accidental.

…cal ceiling 1,700,000ms (28.3 min) exceeded every wall these tests run inside: the 25-min CI job timeout and the 1800s sharded-runner wall (which also leaves --retry 1 zero room for a second attempt). Budget above the wall is fiction, not headroom — a test that actually used it produced a job-level kill (no bun summary, no artifact) instead of a clean per-test timeout. No recorded p95 exists for this family (they are being retiered to periodic in the re-platform wave); the trim stops at the physical ceiling rather than guessing lower. Final policy lands in the Wave-2 eval-budgets constants module. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…nerates the tree The generator's whole body executed at module load, so any import of it (test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts pulls assertSinglePreamble via require(); test/catalog-trim.test.ts imports helpers) regenerated all 71 SKILL.md in place — the root cause of half the TREE_MUTATING serial-shard entries (hazard class #2532). The body now lives in an exported main(): number behind if (import.meta.main). Semantics preserved exactly: failure exits are immediate (matching the old top-level process.exit), success leaves the event loop to drain so the llms.txt fire-and-forget IIFE finishes its write, and the module stays synchronous/require()-able. Proofs: byte-identical --host all output (git status clean), --dry-run stale-tree still exits 1 (the skill-docs freshness lane depends on it), and the new test/gen-skill-docs-import-purity.test.ts pins load-time purity via a subprocess probe (mtime-based, so a dirty worktree can't false-fail).

--out-dir was Claude-host-only (gen-skill-docs.ts:842), which forced the codex/factory-regenerating tests (gen-skill-docs, skill-validation, host-config) to mutate the live tree — the reason they sit in the TREE_MUTATING serial shard. The flag now mirrors ALL outputs into the out-dir: external-host trees (.agents/.factory/... via processExternalHost), external section files, openclaw docs, and gstack/llms.txt (a catalog-mode render must never rewrite the tracked index). OUTPUTS ONLY — inputs (templates, sections/, host configs) are always read from ROOT, so an empty out-dir can never feed the render. rewriteSectionBase stays Claude-only (external hosts have their own path grammar). Proofs: in-place --host all is byte-identical (tree clean); --host all --out-dir <mkdtemp> renders the full multi-host tree with ROOT untouched; gen-skill-docs-out-dir tests + 415/415 gen-skill-docs.test.ts green (bin/dev-setup's claude rendering byte-compat).

129-of-177 keys omitted their own test file, so editing only a test's prompt or assertions selected NOTHING — the changed test never ran on the change that changed it. 135 keys self-registered (110 E2E + 25 LLM-judge), resolved by strict declaration evidence (testName:/ testIfSelected/judge call sites), with skill-name false positives excluded. e2e-tier-alignment's warn-only branch for unregistered files is now a hard failure with a 4-entry KNOWN_UNREGISTERED ratchet (template- literal testNames, fail-open-safe) + a burn-down test so the set only shrinks. Selection sanity: a one-file diff on skill-e2e-qa-workflow now selects its 4 tests (was 0); skill-llm-eval 0 → 25. Known follow-ups (filed): 15 E2E + 2 judge PHANTOM keys select tests that exist nowhere; codex-e2e-plan-format's testIfSelected names have no map keys (run-all only).

Hash sharding balances file COUNTS (1.15x spread) but not cost — the Playwright-launching files landed 4/3/4/1/2/1 across 6 shards, giving a measured 28s–97s shard spread and ~40s of idle tail on every run. Full-suite mode now packs by recorded per-file durations (longest-processing-time-first) when the committed seed scripts/free-test-durations.json exists. - ONE store, no overlay: the seed is refreshed occasionally via the new --record-durations mode (each file timed in its own child — exact, and immune to bun's stream buffering, where silent passers print no header to timestamp); GSTACK_FREE_TEST_DURATIONS overrides the path for experiments; CI never records - seed is a hint: missing → silent hash-shard fallback; corrupt (bad merge) → one warning + fallback; unknown files → 75th-percentile pessimism so a surprise long-runner can't recreate the tail - packed shards get duration-aware walls (max(base, predicted x 3)) — LPT decouples count from cost BY DESIGN, so the 5s/file heuristic would undersize a shard holding few expensive files - one log line per shard (files + predicted seconds) so packing regressions are diagnosable from any run log - the --shard CI-matrix path is untouched: stable hash indices are its contract - successor note in-code: bun >=1.3.14 ships native --timings/--shard LPT — swap this packer when the repo unpins 1.3.13 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… per PR 'bun run test' silently appended up to two 120s npx slop-scan runs plus a git worktree add/remove after the suite (2>/dev/null || true) — invisible in the documented '~90-100s' timing and pure friction in the pre-commit loop. Decoupling is not coverage removal: quality-gate.yml now runs slop:diff on every PR (advisory, matching its in-repo 'never blocking' contract), and /review already invokes it explicitly.

Five named tiers (JUDGE 120s / CAPTURE 300s / CAPTURE_LONG 600s / PTY 900s / PTY_LONG 1200s) replace hand-ratcheted sprawl (46x300s, 46x120s, 44x360s, 44x180s, 27x240s, 19x150s, 13x420s, 12x600s...), much of it inflated to paper over the old 40-way in-shard concurrency that the sharded runner's 1-file-per-shard model kills. Policy test pins: every tier fits the shard wall minus 120s overhead (the structural fix for budgets-above-the-wall fiction), tiers stay ordered, and no paid literal exceeds PTY_LONG x1.25 — oversized tests get split, not budgeted past the wall.

~36 free test files each carry a near-identical local run() (spawnSync
+ utf-8 + {status, stdout, stderr}) differing only in env composition,
cwd, and timeout. runBin absorbs the invariant core; options carry the
variance (gstackHome sets BOTH GSTACK_HOME and GSTACK_STATE_DIR — the
config-precedence trap several locals rediscovered independently; home
for $HOME-anchored bins; input/trim/timeout/maxBuffer). Free-test-only
by design so it never becomes a de facto global touchfile. Migration of
the 36 call sites lands separately (mechanical batches).

Raw >=60s literal count in the paid scope: 395 → 97, of which 51 are non-timeout noise (fixture dates, run IDs) and 46 are enumerated justified holds (comment-carrying calibrated budgets, poll-loop constants, utility spawn waits, and the seven physical-ceiling 1_500_000 sites). The eval-budgets policy ratchet keeps the residue from regrowing.

… backstop evals-periodic.yml re-platforms onto the sharded runner: planner manifest → 6 executor slices → FAIL-CLOSED report.

…ind assertions The sliced lane's first run (PR #2721) did its job: the planner and report worked, the manifest governed, and every failure had a name. Three were fixable on the spot: - executor + gate-census checkouts get fetch-depth: 0 — files with SELF-derived selection (the LLM-judge map, routing) walk git at module load, and selection is deliberately fail-closed on git errors, so the shallow checkout crashed those shards ('ambiguous argument main...HEAD'). The manifest still governs WHICH shards run. - landscape --toc gate: the exact toBe(3) landscape-page count was font-metric-dependent (3 on Amazon Linux, 2 on ubuntu CI — the same disease the file's own page-index comment warns about). Now a comparative invariant: --toc must not CHANGE the landscape count vs a baseline render. - paid-run-manifest parse test builds its manifest under EVALS_ALL so it never walks git (proven with GIT_DIR=/nonexistent). Remaining first-run failures are newly-exposed rot in gate files that had never executed in CI (skillify D1 refusal, session-intelligence context-restore, one tpa-apple-ban retry flake) — being probed separately; they are the lane WORKING, not the lane failing.

…packing exposed Nine test files launch in-process persistent contexts or daemons that default to the SHARED ~/.gstack/chromium-profile. Two concurrent shard processes on one profile dir kill each other's browser — observed live on CI once duration packing recomposed shards: handoff's launchPersistentContext died 'Target page, context or browser has been closed' (--user-data-dir=~/.gstack/chromium-profile in the call log) while a sibling shard's daemon logged 'Chromium process crashed'. Hash sharding had masked the collision by chance placement; handoff passes standalone everywhere. Fix at the runner, not per file: each shard child gets CHROMIUM_PROFILE=<shard-state>/chromium-profile (the documented env knob, same isolation idea as the existing per-shard TMPDIR). Files within a shard run serially, so sharing the per-shard profile is safe; config.test's resolution-order tests save/restore the env around their assertions.

Two rounds of CI receipts: the exact toBe(3) was font-metric-coupled (3 on Amazon Linux, 2 on ubuntu), and the baseline-comparison repair then failed 2-vs-3 across renders SECONDS apart in one CI job while the sibling no-toc test saw 3 — per-render image-promotion timing makes any count assertion here a coin flip. The sibling test owns exact promotion counts; this test's actual invariant is that --toc does not break the promotion machinery: >=1 landscape page + the TOC rendered. Also drops the second render (halves the test's runtime). Flaky per-render image promotion itself is worth its own look — noted in TODOS with these receipts.

…r files Completes the profile-isolation work: the per-shard CHROMIUM_PROFILE stopped cross-shard kills; these nine files launch in-process persistent contexts and could still collide with a lingering daemon a sibling file spawned on the SAME shard profile. Each now scopes a mkdtemp profile via beforeAll/afterAll (the module-scope-tripwire-safe pattern), cleaned up per file. All nine green solo and in combined runs, except the pre-existing commands+snapshot pairing — proven identical WITH and WITHOUT these edits (baseline receipts) — which is the daemon-lifecycle follow-up now extended in TODOS with this session's receipts.

…ever kill their host handleChromiumDisconnect unconditionally process.exit()ed. Correct for the standalone daemon (its supervisor/user must notice); suicidal when a TEST launches BrowserManager in-process: a mid-suite Chromium death exited the whole bun shard with no terminal summary — the exact truncation class the strict runner flags (observed live: CI shard 1 on eb23329 died at cache-concurrent-refresh right after a daemon-spawning gate test; with this fix the same pairing runs to completion and REPORTS instead of dying). The standalone entrypoint opts in via markDaemonProcess() under server.ts's import.meta.main gate — the same embedder contract its signal handlers already use (gbrowser phoenix keeps its own handlers). Embedded contexts now get the disconnect log line and continue. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The test failed twice per run in TWO CI cycles while passing locally
4/4: the prompt said 'present the content' and the check grepped the
FINAL message for exact phrases — local runs quoted the file, CI runs
paraphrased ('the most recent context is from branch-b...') and the
substring check lost the coin flip.
- prompt now demands machine-checkable output: the newest file's
'## Working on:' heading VERBATIM + a literal 'RESTORED: <filename>'
marker (the mtime-scramble and cross-branch subject matter untouched)
- assertion ordered strongest-first: RESTORED marker → legacy content
phrases → tool-call corroboration (Read/Bash input naming the newer
file, credited ONLY when the older file was never read — a
both-files run must still present the right one)
- the older-file negative got STRONGER: an explicit RESTORED marker
naming the older file fails even if wintermute words appear elsewhere
- sibling scan: context-recovery-artifacts got the additive prompt-side
treatment only (quote the matched literals verbatim); its lenient

Root cause (forensically pinned from stream-json init events + a
kill-after-init probe): with HOME set EQUAL to the child's cwd, claude
resolves <cwd>/.claude/skills as the PERSONAL skills directory and the
seeded project-tier skills never register — the Skill tool returned
'Unknown skill'. The provenance-refusal test then improvised a refusal
whose wording missed the regex (the deterministic CI+local red); the
happy-path and approval-reject siblings passed only because their
agents self-recovered by Reading SKILL.md manually — silently not
exercising the Skill-tool path at all.
All three tests now use HOME=<workDir>/home (a fresh subdir keeps the
override's intent: child ~/.gstack writes land in the assertable
sandbox, without the cwd collision). Refusal test additionally: a
'not registered/unknown skill' tripwire (a not-loaded skill can never
pass as a refusal) and the refusal regex now matches assistant text
only — the skill BODY echoed into the transcript contains the exact
refusal message, so the old full-surface match could pass vacuously
once the skill loaded. Sibling disk assertions sweep both $HOME/.gstack
and cwd .gstack roots (positives and negatives).
Verified paid: refusal 2x consecutive green with the skill's EXACT
message rendered ('Launching skill: skillify' in-transcript), then the
full file 5/5 green (~$1.35) with both siblings driving real Skill
calls (25-27 turns each).

…mily, context-restore) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…was fixture sharing The evidence-based assertion fix was treating a symptom. The slice artifact's embedded transcript showed the CI agent restoring 20260829-context-save-skill-test.md — the checkpoint the SIBLING context-save test wrote into the SHARED gstackHome checkpoints dir, which by filename-prefix ordering genuinely IS the newest. The agent behaved CORRECTLY; the test's fixture set was open to concurrent sibling writes, and bun --concurrent ordering differs between CI (save finished first) and local (restore listed first) — the entire local-green/CI-red split explained. The restore test now uses its own .gstack-restore-home (the whole home moves, not just the handed path — an agent deriving the dir from GSTACK_HOME/projects/<slug> must land in the closed set too). Full file 4/4 paid green with all evidence flags firing. Also: the on-failure shard-log artifact glob uploaded nothing — the Fix-bun-temp step points TMPDIR at /home/runner/.cache, so the spool lands there, not /tmp. Both eval workflows now glob both locations (this gap is why diagnosing THIS failure required digging transcripts out of the slice-results artifact). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The stat-cache seed (cp of the real index) stamped the temp index "now", which defeats git's racy-git protection: an entry is only re-hashed when its cached mtime is not older than the index file itself, so a same-size rewrite landing in the same second as the last real index write looked non-racy, kept its stale stat-cache entry, and vanished from the fingerprint — evidence stayed FRESH after a source change. This is the CI flake in test/evidence.test.ts "allow-paths carve-out" (sub-second alignment on fast runners: expected STALE exit 1, got FRESH exit 0). touch -r restores the original index timestamp, reinstating the exact racy window git itself uses. Deterministic regression pin in test/review-log.test.ts reproduces the miss with pinned zero-nsec timestamps (fails on the old script, passes now); receipts: manual probe shows the fresh-stamped copy returning the clean tree for a same-size 'hello'→'howdy' rewrite while the mtime-carried copy detects it.

…ng 3 The alt-hinted image promotion rides the per-render measurement race already filed in TODOS (2-vs-3 landscape pages on renders seconds apart — CI receipts from PR #2721, now reproduced locally). Pin the two deterministic promotions as the floor and the three promotable blocks as the ceiling (anything above 3 means the veto leaked); the veto/portrait assertions remain exact.

…m benchmark, reuse ladder, instruction-tier digest (#2722) * feat(autoplan): eng review always runs last — the gate reviews the final amended plan Reorder the pipeline to CEO -> Design (if UI scope) -> DX (if developer-facing scope) -> Eng. The old order (CEO -> Design -> Eng -> DX) let DX findings land AFTER the required gate signed off, so eng validated a stale plan. Accept-all semantics made explicit: every AskUserQuestion resolves to the recommended option; premises no longer pause the pipeline mid-run (clearly-wrong ones queue as User-Challenge items at the single Final Approval Gate). Eng's Codex voice now sees the DX consensus summary. New free static test pins the order; the chain E2E gains DX-between and Eng-terminal assertions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(review): simplification specialist — advisory over-engineering lens with ponytail's tag vocabulary New 8th Review Army specialist (DIFF_LINES > 100, --simplification force flag) hunting unrequested STRUCTURE only: delete/stdlib/native/speculative/shrink closed tags, one-line findings, lines_removable field. speculative: replaces ponytail's yagni: tag — we import the lens, not the posture; coverage stays sacred (Completeness Gaps owns it, suppressions inlined, shrink needs >=5 lines). Advisory carve-out in the merge step: advisory findings are excluded from quality_score and the findings-count header, render with an [ADVISORY] label, and are ASK-only in Fix-First. Zero-findings case prints the lens-scoped 'Simplification: lean already — nothing to cut.' from the PARENT (the specialist keeps the exact NO FINDINGS contract); with findings, the parent prints 'net: -N lines possible' summed from lines_removable. Tests: static pins for the carve-out + early-out contract (gen-skill-docs), two periodic e2e cases with planted fixtures — activation (over-build traps: hand-rolled Intl, one-impl abstract, dead config) and false-flag precision (a lean ETHOS 'choose A' diff must yield NO FINDINGS). Inspired by dietrichgebert/ponytail's /ponytail-review. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(preamble): reuse ladder in Search Before Building — rungs 2-5 of ponytail's ladder, completeness kept Tier-3+ skills gain a per-edit reflex the section only stated as research discipline: before writing new code, stop at the first rung that holds — repo helper, stdlib, native platform feature, installed dependency — then build the COMPLETE version of what remains. The closing clause is the explicit reconciliation with Boil the Ocean: the ladder governs structure, never coverage. Rungs 1/6/7 (YAGNI / one line / minimum that works) are deliberately NOT imported. Also ports ponytail's root-cause rule: one guard in the shared function beats a guard in every caller. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(preamble): bounded-closer output rule for tier-2+ skills After completing work, skills report in a few short lines — what changed, what was skipped, what to watch — and cut any explanation that outgrows the change. Explicit exemptions protect every mandated output: decision briefs, completion-status blocks, user-requested explanations, and report-shaped skills' report formats (the report IS the work in /qa-only, /plan-*-review, /retro, /document-generate). Rationale is signal-to-noise, not tokens: ponytail's own benchmark shows terse prose alone doesn't cut cost (caveman arm: -20% LOC, +7% tokens), and independent replications found its 'skipped on purpose' essays ate the code savings. Includes a good/bad closer example pair per the model-overlay guidance that a positive example beats a 'don't be verbose' instruction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(resolvers): terse-mode savings claim matches measurement — 2.6KB, not 3-5KB Measured on the v1.71 render: --explain-level=terse saves exactly 2,611 bytes per tier-2+ skill. The old ~3-5KB claim predated the preamble restructuring. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(retro,preamble): gstack-shortcut debt ledger — accepted shortcuts leave a joined trail When the user accepts an option that is BOTH Completeness <= 7 AND a durable-scope call, the decision ledger entry (gstack-decision-log, ceiling + upgrade trigger in the rationale) is the source of truth, and the agent marks each cut corner in code with gstack-shortcut(dec-<id>): <ceiling>, upgrade when <trigger> — same edit, no follow-up question, never agent-initiated. /retro Step 11.5 harvests markers into a debt ledger (grep || true — zero matches is the healthy case; skill installs and docs excluded), joins on the decision id so nothing double-counts, tags unlinked and no-trigger rot risks, and closes with 'N markers, M with no trigger.' /review suppressions: a marker with ceiling+trigger downgrades a would-be Completeness Gaps finding to acknowledged debt. Redaction test pins that the marker ships untouched (the ledger is the point) — it does not match the TODO(owner) hygiene shape. Format from dietrichgebert/ponytail's ponytail-debt; store inverted to gstack's existing decision ledger. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: refresh golden ship baselines after preamble additions (reuse ladder + bounded closer) The golden-file regression test pins the rendered ship skill byte-for-byte; the WS3/WS7 preamble sections are deliberate changes, so the baselines re-capture per the goldens' own update protocol. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(hosts): instruction-only tier — a 2KB committed rules digest any agent host can read New agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md (1,765 bytes, hard 2,048-byte budget): gstack's ethos one-liners, the reuse ladder, and voice rules for hosts with no install arm — Zed, Amp, Jules, or any AGENTS.md-reading agent. Generated by scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts, auto-refreshed by gen:skill-docs, committed like llms.txt so setup's explainer arms can point at it before any toolchain exists. First line carries the gstack version as its own staleness nudge. Delivery is print-path + user-performed copy ONLY: setup never writes or overwrites a user's AGENTS.md (a test pins this — no cp/ln/mv/redirect into AGENTS.md anywhere in setup). openclaw and hermes explainer arms print the path; slate keeps routing to the full Claude install and gbrain ships from its own repo. HostConfig gains the optional install.instructionTier slot, declared by both instruction-tier hosts. README host table now matches what setup actually does. Inspired by dietrichgebert/ponytail's instruction-tier AGENTS.md fallback — one generated source, never per-host hand copies. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(preamble): AskUserQuestion repetition cut — gated, passed NOT-WORSE A/B Removes the duplicate statements v1.71's compaction left in the AskUserQuestion Format section: the completeness rule restated in the prose triad, the auto-decide marker syntax stated twice, the Conductor-flakiness explanation stated twice, and the self-check's full triad restatement. Every verbosity floor and all 14 format pins stay (Layer 0 green). The gate this decision rested on ran before landing (new periodic skill-e2e-auq-repetition-cut-ab.test.ts, pre-cut ref 3263fff vs this render, same harness as auq-verbose-vs-carved-ab): POST 7/7 format elements, substance 5 — identical to PRE. No degradation; the load-bearing-repetition hypothesis did not hold for these duplicates. Net: -236 bytes per tier-2+ skill (~9.7KB corpus). Golden ship baselines re-captured for the deliberate change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(evals): with-skill vs without-skill arm benchmark — measures whether gstack's behavioral layer earns its tokens Ponytail's honest-benchmark method pointed at gstack itself: 3 build-shaped tasks (native-platform over-build trap, CRUD endpoint, bug fix with planted decoys) x 2 arms, real claude -p sessions, scored on the git diff left behind. A research instrument, not a release gate — no assertion compares arm scores. Arms use the PROVEN project-scope pattern: the with-arm installs a build-discipline skill (extracted reuse-ladder + bounded-closer content, not whole-file copies) into the fixture's .claude/skills/ with a CLAUDE.md routing line and an explicit invocation; a live spike confirmed claude -p discovers and invokes project-scope skills via the Skill tool (3 turns, exact-output probe). Fixtures are git init + local bare origin; diff capture is three lines of git, no worktree machinery. Failure taxonomy: zero-diff arms are VALID scored cells (deterministic 0/none, no API call), harvest failures record harvest:null, judge_error cells are excluded from aggregates but named in the report — nothing drops silently. armJudge: fixed sonnet judge, 0-3 unrequested-structure rubric, must name the construct or say none, bounded retry-on-malformed; callJudge gains optional temperature/max_tokens (defaults unchanged). recordE2E now populates tokens_used for every E2E. Eval schema v2: harvest gains {insertions, deletions, net}, tolerant reads keep v1 runs comparable. Registered periodic in E2E_TIERS + touchfiles (with the auq-repetition-cut A/B); periodic detach timeout raised to the new shard-census floor. Free selftest (8 tests, zero API) pins fixtures, extraction, arm asymmetry, diff capture, judge plumbing, and the retry bound. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: absorb the ponytail-import wave into the guard fixtures — ceilings, schema pin, triad phrasing Skeleton ceilings re-captured for the 17 carved skills the wave deliberately grew (reuse ladder + bounded closer + shortcut trail, net of the gated -236B AUQ cut), each with its measured size in the comment per the carve-guards protocol. eval-store schema pin updated to v2 (harvest gains insertions/deletions/net). The AUQ prose-triad keeps its pinned per-choice phrasing ('explicit on EACH choice') while still deferring the score scale to the canonical Format rule — the shipped cut is strictly closer to the pre-cut text than the render that already passed the NOT-WORSE gate. Autoplan carve anchors follow the Phase 2.5 renumbering. Golden ship baselines re-captured. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: observability partial-file pin follows eval-store schema v2 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(test-runner): GSTACK_FREE_JOBS + opt-in flaky-retry pass for syscall-supervised sandboxes GSTACK_FREE_JOBS overrides the computed shard count (the free runner's analogue of the paid runner's EVALS_JOBS). On Vercel sandboxes, PID 1 installs a seccomp filter whose supervisor spuriously fails access(2) for busy processes — measured: 200/200 git-init probes fail 'Cannot access work tree: Permission denied' while the suite runs at 6 shards, 0/200 idle; statx succeeds while access fails on the same path in the same process. One serial mega-shard maximizes per-process pressure and fails too; 2 shards is the measured sweet spot. GSTACK_FREE_RETRY_FLAKY=1 (default OFF — dev boxes should see flakes) re-runs attributed failures once, serially, capped at 5 files; a clean retry downgrades to a loud FLAKY-PASS naming the offenders, a repeat failure stays red, timeouts and unattributed failures never retry. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): portable temp paths — TEMP_DIRS allowlist, tmpdir()-based test files Local path validation now accepts os.tmpdir() alongside the classic /tmp (new TEMP_DIRS in platform.ts): on macOS os.tmpdir() is /var/folders/..., and TMPDIR-honoring CI/sandbox environments point it elsewhere entirely — both are legitimate scratch space. Remote file serving (TEMP_ONLY) stays pinned to TEMP_DIR alone; no change to the exfil boundary. commands.test.ts drops 41 hardcoded /tmp literals for a tmpp() helper on os.tmpdir() (two message assertions now reference the same variable), and path-validation's symlink-escape test targets /etc/hosts instead of /etc/crontab — the target must EXIST for realpath to resolve the link (a dangling target falls back to the link's own path and passes vacuously), and /etc/crontab is absent on Amazon Linux. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(config): portable sha256 — Linux ships sha256sum, not shasum resolve-user-slug and endpoint hashing exited 127 on Amazon Linux (shasum is a macOS/perl tool). New _sha256_hex helper prefers sha256sum and falls back to shasum, matching gstack-verify-gate's existing pattern; both call sites converted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(next-version): only trust ls-remote when origin is actually configured Without the guard, git DWIMs the literal 'origin' as an ssh host/path; on hosts whose transport launders exit codes the probe 'succeeds' with zero branches and the allocator silently sees an empty queue — the exact duplicate-allocation failure (#2545) fetchGitClaimed exists to prevent. git remote get-url origin gates the probe; absence falls through to the existing local-refs path with its staleness warning. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(testing): sandbox-doctor — one command makes a cloud sandbox run the suite green Measured failure taxonomy for Vercel/Conductor sandboxes (missing /dev/fd, 64M /dev/shm, seccomp-supervisor access(2) EACCES under load, uid-1000 processes with FULL capabilities defeating chmod-denial tests, no X server, no git identity, Conductor git-shim exit-code laundering) plus the idempotent script that treats all of it and seeds the run recipe. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(config): converge on main's self-contained sha8_of — its tests extract the function standalone The merge kept a branch-local _sha256_hex helper; main's v1.72 landed the same portability fix inline WITH tests that extract sha8_of()'s text and run it under a shim-only PATH — a helper call can't satisfy that shape. Adopt the landed implementation at both hash sites.

Also drop the dead 'else if (worst !== 0)' guard (the enclosing if already pins it). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(release): version-bump write regenerates the version-stamped agents digest agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md embeds VERSION in its first line and is byte-freshness-gated (test/agents-digest.test.ts + Skill Docs Freshness CI), but nothing in the release path regenerated it — every version-bumping ship of this repo would land red. write now spawns the repo's own generator when present (agentsDigest true/false/null in the output JSON), and ship's evidence gate allow-lists the digest alongside VERSION/package.json. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(setup): instruction-tier explainer prints the script-anchored digest path $(pwd) printed a nonexistent path when setup ran from any other directory; both arms now share one print_instruction_tier() using SOURCE_GSTACK_DIR. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(digest): broaden AGENTS.md writer tripwire; pin digest-resolver ladder lockstep The print-path-only guard now catches tee/install/rsync/dd/truncate, >> appends, and laundered variable-destination writes. New test ties the digest's hand-rendered reuse-ladder text to the preamble resolver so an edit to either fails CI instead of shipping drift. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(retro): shortcut harvest drops placeholder markers and convention docs The Step 11.5 grep matched documentation mentions (dec-<id>, dec-*) in checklists, resolver sources, and convention tests, reporting phantom debt rows on gstack itself. A trailing filter kills placeholder forms; prose tells the agent to discard convention-quoting hits. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(review): advisory findings count in per-specialist stats Without this, simplification (all-advisory by construction) would log findings:0 every run and auto-gate itself into permanent silence after 10 dispatches. The advisory carve-out governs score and header only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(evals): arm-benchmark harvest and judge hardening - Harvest diffs against the recorded seed SHA (origin/main is movable by an agent that commits AND pushes; a recorded SHA is not). - Fixtures get a node_modules .gitignore and the git wrapper a 64MB maxBuffer, so a vendored-dependency arm is scored instead of killing the cell. - The judge diff cap is a named constant with loud truncation (log + judge_reasoning suffix). - Judge prompt block markers carry a per-call random sentinel, so a diff containing a faked closing marker cannot escape the data block. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(evals): AUQ A/B vendored pre-cut arm + judge-error inconclusive taxonomy - The PRE arm read a branch-local SHA (3263fff) that becomes unreachable on fresh clones after the squash-merge; the pre-cut render is now a vendored fixture. - A judge failure on one side no longer coerces substance to 0 (which fabricated DEGRADATION on POST-side failures and masked regressions on PRE-side failures): null substance = inconclusive, format still gates. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: regression pin for the originConfigured guard vs laundering git shims On healthy hosts the guarded and unguarded paths behave identically, so a revert passes the suite; only a shim that makes 'git ls-remote' exit 0 with empty output (the Conductor wrapper's observed behavior) exposes it. Pins that the empty 'successful' probe is never trusted as an empty queue. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sandbox-doctor): missing /dev/shm no longer aborts the doctor under set -eu Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(touchfiles): close dep-list gaps for the new evals - arm-benchmark entries gain ship/SKILL.md (buildBehavioralSkill extracts sections from the rendered ship skill) - review-army-simplification entries gain their planted fixtures + test file - auq-repetition-cut-ab gains llm-judge.ts and the vendored PRE fixture Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: re-capture context-budget fixture — lock the WS6-3 reduction and Step 9 deltas Per the ratchet protocol: the AUQ repetition cut shrank per-skill eager tokens but the fixture was never re-captured, leaving the win unlocked. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(release): digest regen is an explicit --regen-digest opt-in, not presence-sniffed code exec Review (security) caught the cycle-1 fix executing any repo's scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts on plain 'write' — arbitrary code exec from a hostile clone on a routine bump, contradicting the binary's own containment posture. The regen still runs the TARGET repo's generator (a 'trusted' copy beside the binary would false-red the freshness gate on version drift), but only under the flag: /ship passes it deliberately, in a repo whose code the operator already executes (its test suite). Plain write is side-effect-free again. Also: uniform output shape (agentsDigest: null on the JSON-manifest branch), a REAL generator round-trip test replacing the misnamed lockstep check, and land-and-deploy's evidence gate gets the same digest allow-path as ship so the two grading surfaces agree. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test-runner): flaky-retry vetoes on ANY unattributable failure evidence The gate equated 'some failure attributed' with 'all failures attributed': a shard with one attributed failure plus a headerless failure, an unhandled error between tests, or a truncated run (no terminal summary) qualified for retry — re-running only failingFiles and masking the rest as FLAKY-PASS, re-opening the silent-truncation hole the strict classifier closes. FreeShardOutcome now carries unattributedFailures; nonzero vetoes the retry. Pins: mixed shard, truncated-with-attributed shard, empty-shard field values. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(next-version): a configured origin advertising zero heads is never trusted The originConfigured guard covered only the no-origin laundering case. With origin configured (the normal Conductor worktree state), the laundering shim makes a failed ls-remote exit 0 with empty stdout — read as 'the queue is empty', the exact duplicate-allocation bug (#2545) one layer up. A reachable remote always advertises at least its default branch, so an exit-0 zero-head probe now falls back to local refs/remotes/origin with a laundering-specific warning. Regression test shims git for both configurations. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sandbox-doctor): loud on git-shim patch drift; document the retry-contract override - The /conductor/bin/git patch was a silent no-op if the shim's bytes drift from the exact pattern — now warns that laundering is NOT fixed. - The bashrc block documents why GSTACK_FREE_RETRY_FLAKY=1 deliberately overrides the runner's default-OFF contract on this sandbox, and how to undo it. - Test pins the guarded shm form (missing /dev/shm must not abort set -eu). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(digest): pin the script-anchored explainer path; catch declaration-prefixed writers - Asserts $SOURCE_GSTACK_DIR/agents-digest path and forbids $(pwd)/agents-digest (the cycle-1 fix was revertible without failing anything). - The laundered-assignment arm now matches local/export/declare/readonly/typeset prefixed assignments — the likeliest in-function writer shape in setup. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(evals): arm-benchmark selftest runs FREE on every PR The selftest lived inside the paid skill-e2e-* file, so fixture-integrity and plumbing pins executed weekly at best — a broken fixture would ship past every gating check and be discovered when the periodic run burned money on a dead instrument. Harness extracted to test/helpers/arm-benchmark-harness.ts, selftest to test/arm-benchmark-selftest.test.ts (free suite). Touchfiles: harness added to the three benchmark dep lists; the auq-repetition-cut-ab tier comment now states the MANUAL re-run obligation honestly (periodic runs force EVALS_ALL, so dep lists cannot auto-trigger it). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: re-capture context-budget fixture after cycle-2 template deltas Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sandbox-doctor): keep both heredoc bodies under the 512B pipe-deadlock window The cycle-2 additions pushed the python-patch and bashrc heredocs into the 512-65536B window test/heredoc-pipe-deadlock.test.ts guards (sh scripts get no BASH_COMPAT escape hatch). Same content, tighter prose; the drift warning now reuses the patch pattern variable instead of a second literal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(review): a gstack-shortcut marker only suppresses findings when its decision id resolves in the ledger Cross-model catch (Claude adversarial + Codex agreed): any diff author could fabricate a marker and silence Completeness review of that gap. Reviewers now resolve the dec-id via gstack-decision-search; an orphan marker is reported as a forged suppression, not honored as debt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(autoplan): define the B2 gate path — accepted premise challenges amend the plan and re-run Eng The final gate offered B2 (respond to User Challenges) but the option handler table omitted it, leaving accepted challenges with no amendment or Eng re-review path. B2 now walks challenges one at a time; an accepted one amends the plan and re-runs Eng (the gate always reviews the final plan), sharing D's 3-cycle cap. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(evals): arm benchmark runs each fixture's functional oracle — correctness before LOC The plan's metric order is diff-quality FIRST, but cells never ran the fixtures' own run-tests.js, so a refusal, a broken implementation, and working code were indistinguishable in aggregates (Codex adversarial catch). Tasks with an oracle declare checkCmd; every cell records checks=pass|fail|none in the report line and eval store. Selftest pins the oracle declarations and that the planted bug fails its own check pre-fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ship): check the bump's agentsDigest result; state the --regen-digest trust envelope honestly A failed digest regen warned and moved on — ship now instructs re-running the generator and staging the digest with the bump (the freshness check stays red otherwise). The 'no-op everywhere else' phrasing oversold safety: the step now names what executes and why that is inside the envelope Step 5 already opened (the repo's own test suite). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test-runner): GSTACK_FREE_JOBS accepts digits only — parseInt truncation defeated the loud-failure contract '2abc' silently became 2 and '3.7' became 3 despite the error text claiming a positive-integer requirement. Strict /^\d+$/ pre-check; both shapes pinned. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sandbox-doctor): atomic git-shim patch, :99-socket Xvfb check, dnf gate, non-interactive sudo - The /conductor/bin/git patch writes tmp-then-rename with a .orig backup — a concurrently spawned git can never exec a truncated shim. - Xvfb running-check looks for the :99 socket, not any-display pgrep. - Xvfb install is dnf-gated so non-dnf distros degrade to a warning instead of aborting the remaining fixes under set -eu. - The bashrc /dev/fd restore uses sudo -n || true — no password prompt at every shell start on non-passwordless machines. - BASH_COMPAT=50 keeps heredoc bodies off the bash pipe window. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(build): a failed agents-digest regen fails gen-skill-docs instead of deferring the red to CI Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(browse): an untrustable TMPDIR (/, $HOME, a cwd ancestor) never widens the local allowlist TEMP_DIRS honors os.tmpdir() at daemon start; a daemon launched with TMPDIR=/ would have trusted the whole filesystem for local path validation for its lifetime. Subprocess pins cover /, $HOME, cwd-ancestor rejection and that a benign distinct TMPDIR (the sandbox recipe's $HOME/tmp) stays honored. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: zero-heads warning names the benign cause too; digest path declaration made load-bearing; ratchet re-capture - The ls-remote zero-heads warning no longer accuses an empty remote of running a laundering shim. - instructionTier.rulesFile now must equal the generator's DIGEST_RELPATH (and setup must print it) — the declaration fails with the real path instead of lying silently. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: file ship-time follow-ups in TODOS skillify HOME-override gate red (pre-existing, proven on main), the auq-verbose-vs-carved-ab branch-local ref, eval-store harvest union, evidence digest allow-path scoping, and the WS6-2 dead-frontmatter live-host verification deferral. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * v1.73.0.0 chore: version bump + CHANGELOG — ponytail import wave Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: raise ship skeleton parity ceiling — measured 75,592 after the v1.73 release-step prose The --regen-digest trust-envelope paragraph (Step 12) and the evidence-gate digest note (Step 16) grew the ship skeleton past the previous 75,420 ceiling. Re-measured per the deliberate-change protocol. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: update project documentation for v1.73.0.0 - README.md, docs/skills.md, AGENTS.md: /autoplan phase order corrected to CEO → design → DX → eng (eng always last); /review rows note the advisory simplification lens - docs/PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md: add agents-digest/, gen-agents-digest.ts, sandbox-doctor.sh, test-free-shards.ts to the annotated tree - CONTRIBUTING.md: document GSTACK_FREE_JOBS, GSTACK_FREE_RETRY_FLAKY, and the sandbox-doctor one-command fixer in the Tier 1 test section Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: apply cross-model doc-review fixes for v1.73.0.0 - README.md: host table gains the OpenClaw explainer arm row (setup has the arm; the table claimed to match setup) - docs/skills.md: /review completeness-gaps section documents the gstack-shortcut(dec-<id>) acknowledged-debt suppression and orphan-marker flagging; /autoplan deep-dive states the recommended-option default with the 6 principles as tie-breakers - CONTRIBUTING.md: host count 8 -> 10 (Hermes, GBrain), supported-hosts list completed - docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md: sandbox recipe says to source ~/.bashrc after the doctor seeds it; GSTACK_FREE_JOBS wording fixed from "caps" to "overrides in either direction" (matches the un-clamped runner) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): temp-dirs asymmetry pins are topology-aware; TMPDIR probes are POSIX-only CI exposed two wrong assumptions in the new temp-dirs tests, neither a product bug: - The remote-serving asymmetry test assumed a distinct os.tmpdir() lies OUTSIDE TEMP_DIR, but the free-shard runner nests each child's TMPDIR inside /tmp on CI — a file there is under TEMP_DIR, so serving it remotely is legitimate. The test now pins the actual exfil boundary on every topology (a cwd project file is locally readable, never remotely servable) and branches the os.tmpdir() case on nested-vs-outside. Reproduced locally with TMPDIR=/tmp/nested-tmp before fixing. - The untrustable-TMPDIR subprocess probes set TMPDIR, which Windows os.tmpdir() ignores (reads TEMP/TMP) — and on Windows TEMP_DIR is DEFINED as os.tmpdir(), so the fixed+movable two-dir topology the guard filters does not exist there. Probes now skip on Windows with that rationale; the benign-TMPDIR assertion compares realpaths. Verified under all three POSIX topologies: TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp (outside), TMPDIR=/tmp/nested-tmp (CI shard shape), TMPDIR unset (identical). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(build): DIGEST_RELPATH is a forward-slash literal on every platform path.join built it with backslashes on Windows, so the wiring test's string comparisons against setup and hosts/*.ts (which carry the forward-slash literal) could never match there — windows-free-tests red. path.join(root, DIGEST_RELPATH) at the write site normalizes fine. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sandbox-doctor): bashrc block re-heals the /dev/shm remount on sandbox restart The 4G remount does not survive restarts; a reverted 64M shm made the multi-tab browse handoff test fail consistently under suite concurrency (observed live: two consecutive full-run failures, green in isolation, green again after remounting). Same guarded arithmetic as the doctor body. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): close the cross-shard porcelain race that failed Windows CI Two-part fix for the gen-skill-docs-out-dir isolation-pin failure: - cookie-import-browser built its scratch cookie DBs inside the TRACKED browse/test/fixtures/ dir (created in beforeAll, deleted in afterAll), so they flash as untracked files mid-run — a concurrent shard's porcelain snapshot caught the window on Windows. The DBs now live in a per-run tmpdir; zero source-tree writes. - gen-skill-docs-out-dir is the free suite's only LIVE porcelain-snapshot test, so it joins TREE_MUTATING (the serial quiet window): any concurrent transient tree-write can race it, and its own spawned render rewrites llms.txt/agents-digest in place (idempotent on a fresh tree). The race is pre-existing; this branch's +5 test files reshuffled shard composition and exposed it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * v1.75.0.0 chore: queue-advance rebump — perth-v2 landed v1.74.0.0 on main The v1.73.0.0 slot this branch claimed was superseded when #2721 merged; same MINOR level relative to main per the versioning invariant. CHANGELOG entry renumbered (1.73.0.0 was branch-internal and never landed on main), digest restamped via --regen-digest. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test-runner): duration-packed walls keep the per-file floor — predictions don't transfer across machines The committed duration seed is recorded on fast CI; a syscall-supervised sandbox replays the same files 2-4x slower. Observed post-merge: a 253-file shard predicted ~242s was wall-killed at its predicted-x3 725s wall while genuinely progressing (the old count heuristic guaranteed 1265s). Packed walls may be looser than the count floor, never tighter. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
