Subject: [PATCH 01/13] fix(security): skip hidden directories in skill
 template discovery

discoverTemplates() scans subdirectories for SKILL.md.tmpl files but
only skips node_modules, .git, and dist. Hidden directories like
.claude/, .agents/, and .codex/ (which contain symlinked skill
installs) were being scanned, allowing a malicious .tmpl in a
symlinked skill to inject into the generation pipeline.

Fix: add !d.name.startsWith('.') to the subdirs() filter. This skips
all dot-prefixed directories, matching the standard convention that
hidden dirs are not source code.

Subject: [PATCH 02/13] fix(security): sanitize telemetry JSONL inputs against
 injection
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

SKILL, OUTCOME, SESSION_ID, SOURCE, and EVENT_TYPE values go directly
into printf %s for JSONL output. If any contain double quotes,
backslashes, or newlines, the JSON breaks — or worse, injects
arbitrary fields.

Fix: strip quotes, backslashes, and control characters from all
string fields before JSONL construction via json_safe() helper.

Subject: [PATCH 03/13] fix(security): validate JSON input in gstack-review-log

gstack-review-log appends its argument directly to a JSONL file with
no validation. Malformed or crafted input could corrupt the review log
or inject arbitrary content.

Fix: validate input is parseable JSON via python3 before appending.
Reject with exit 1 and stderr message if invalid.

Subject: [PATCH 05/13] fix: use host-specific co-author trailer in /ship and
 /document-release

Codex-generated skills hardcoded a Claude co-author trailer in commit
messages. Users running gstack under Codex pushed commits attributed
to the wrong AI assistant.

Add {{CO_AUTHOR_TRAILER}} resolver that emits the correct trailer
based on ctx.host:
  - claude: Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
  - codex:  Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

Replace hardcoded trailers in ship/SKILL.md.tmpl and
document-release/SKILL.md.tmpl with the resolver placeholder.

Fixes #282. Fixes #383.

Subject: [PATCH 06/13] fix: auto-upgrade marker no longer masks newer remote
 versions
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When a just-upgraded-from marker persists across sessions, the update
check would write UP_TO_DATE to cache and exit immediately — never
fetching the remote VERSION. Users silently miss updates that landed
after their last upgrade.

Remove the early exit and premature cache write so the script falls
through to the remote check after consuming the marker. This ensures
JUST_UPGRADED is still emitted for the preamble, while also detecting
any newer versions available upstream.

Fixes #515

Subject: [PATCH 07/13] fix: decouple doc generation from binary compilation in
 build script

The build script chains gen:skill-docs and bun build --compile with &&,
so a doc generation failure (e.g. missing Codex host config, template
error) prevents the browse binary from being compiled. Users end up
with a broken install where setup reports the binary is missing.

Replace && with ; for the two gen:skill-docs steps so they run
independently of the compilation chain. Doc generation errors are still
visible in stderr, but no longer block binary compilation.

Fixes #482

Subject: [PATCH 09/13] fix: stabilize flaky E2E tests (browse-basic,
 ship-base-branch, dashboard-via)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

browse-basic: bump maxTurns 5→7 (agent reads PNG per SKILL.md instruction)
ship-base-branch: extract Step 0 only instead of full 1900-line ship/SKILL.md
dashboard-via: extract dashboard section only + increase timeout 90s→180s

Root cause: copying full SKILL.md files into test fixtures caused context bloat,
leading to timeouts and flaky turn limits. Extracting only the relevant section
cut dashboard-via from timing out at 240s to finishing in 38s.

Use exact trigger phrases from plan-ceo-review skill description
("think bigger", "expand scope", "ambitious enough") instead of
the ambiguous "thinking too small". Reduce maxTurns 5→3 to cut
cost per attempt ($0.12 vs $0.25). Test remains periodic tier
since LLM routing is inherently non-deterministic.

Never passed reliably. Tests ambiguous routing ("think bigger" →
plan-ceo-review) but Claude legitimately answers directly instead
of invoking a skill. The other 10 journey tests cover routing
with clear, actionable signals.

 # Changelog
 
+## [0.12.7.0] - 2026-03-27 — Community PRs + Security Hardening
+
+Seven community contributions merged, reviewed, and tested. Plus security hardening for telemetry and review logging, and E2E test stability fixes.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Dotfile filtering in skill discovery.** Hidden directories (`.git`, `.vscode`, etc.) are no longer picked up as skill templates.
+- **JSON validation gate in review-log.** Malformed input is rejected instead of appended to the JSONL file.
+- **Telemetry input sanitization.** All string fields are stripped of quotes, backslashes, and control characters before being written to JSONL.
+- **Host-specific co-author trailers.** `/ship` and `/document-release` now use the correct co-author line for Codex vs Claude.
+- **10 new security tests** covering telemetry injection, review-log validation, and dotfile filtering.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **File paths starting with `./` no longer treated as CSS selectors.** `$B screenshot ./path/to/file.png` now works instead of trying to find a CSS element.
+- **Build chain resilience.** `gen:skill-docs` failure no longer blocks binary compilation.
+- **Update checker fall-through.** After upgrading, the checker now also checks for newer remote versions instead of stopping.
+- **Flaky E2E tests stabilized.** `browse-basic`, `ship-base-branch`, and `review-dashboard-via` tests now pass reliably by extracting only relevant SKILL.md sections instead of copying full 1900-line files into test fixtures.
+- **Removed unreliable `journey-think-bigger` routing test.** Never passed reliably because the routing signal was too ambiguous. 10 other journey tests cover routing with clear signals.
+
+### For contributors
+
+- New CLAUDE.md rule: never copy full SKILL.md files into E2E test fixtures. Extract the relevant section only.
+
 ## [0.12.6.0] - 2026-03-27 — Sidebar Knows What Page You're On
 
 The Chrome sidebar agent used to navigate to the wrong page when you asked it to do something. If you'd manually browsed to a site, the sidebar would ignore that and go to whatever Playwright last saw (often Hacker News from the demo). Now it works.
