7b4738bca0 v1.27.1.0 fix: anti-shortcut clause + gate-tier AskUserQuestion floor tests for all plan-* skills (#1354)
* feat(test/helpers): runPlanSkillFloorCheck — minimal AskUserQuestion-floor observer

Adds a focused PTY observer that exits at the first non-permission
numbered-option render. Catches the May 2026 transcript-bug class
(model wrote plan + ExitPlanMode without firing any AUQ) without
needing to fingerprint or navigate past the AUQ.

Why separate from runPlanSkillCounting: plan-mode AUQs render every
option on a single logical line via cursor-positioning escapes that
stripAnsi can't simulate, so parseNumberedOptions returns < 2 options
and never records a fingerprint. Counting tests work on 25-min budgets
because eventually one frame parses cleanly; gate-tier floor tests
need to exit early on the first observation. Trades fingerprint
precision for early-exit reliability.

Also drops COMPLETION_SUMMARY_RE check from this helper — it matches
"GSTACK REVIEW REPORT" anywhere in the buffer including when the
agent does recon by reading existing plan files. plan_ready
(claude's actual "Ready to execute" confirmation) is the reliable
terminal signal for "agent finished without asking."

* feat(resolvers): generateAntiShortcutClause shared resolver

Adds {{ANTI_SHORTCUT_CLAUSE}} placeholder backed by a single resolver
function in scripts/resolvers/review.ts. Plan-* review skills can now
include the clause via one placeholder line in their .tmpl rather than
cloning the paragraph four times. Future tightening edits one resolver,
all four skills update on next gen-skill-docs.

Wired into the existing RESOLVERS map alongside generateReviewDashboard
and generatePlanFileReviewReport — no gen-skill-docs.ts change needed
because the generator already does generic placeholder substitution
against that map.

* feat(plan-*-review): anti-shortcut clause in all four review skills

Inserts {{ANTI_SHORTCUT_CLAUSE}} placeholder immediately after the
**Anti-skip rule:** paragraph in plan-{eng,ceo,design,devex}-review
SKILL.md.tmpl. The four templates use different surrounding section
headers (eng "Review Sections (after scope is agreed)" vs ceo/design/devex
variants), so anchoring on the paragraph rather than the heading works
across all four.

Closes the May 2026 transcript-bug loophole: existing STOP gates name
forbidden actions only AFTER a per-section finding is identified. The
anti-shortcut clause adds the pre-emptive rule — "the plan file is the
OUTPUT of the interactive review, not a substitute for it" — covering
the case the transcript exhibited (skip per-section walk, dump every
finding into one plan write, call ExitPlanMode).

Regenerated SKILL.md for all hosts via bun run gen:skill-docs --host all.

* test: gate-tier AskUserQuestion floor tests for all plan-* review skills

Adds 4 finding-floor tests (one per plan-* skill) that catch the May
2026 transcript-bug class — model wrote a plan and called ExitPlanMode
without firing any review-phase AskUserQuestion. Asserts via
runPlanSkillFloorCheck that ANY non-permission AUQ render fires before
the agent reaches plan_ready.

Verified:
- Eng floor: passed in 59s
- CEO floor: passed in 197s
- Design floor: passed
- Devex floor: passed
- Total ~$2-6 per CI run; only triggers on diff against the 4 plan-*
  templates, the shared resolver review.ts, the seeds fixture, or the
  PTY runner helper.

Fixtures live in test/fixtures/forcing-finding-seeds.ts, one constant
per skill. Each seed is engineered to force at least one obvious
finding under that skill's review focus (architectural smell for eng,
scope-creep for ceo, UI-slop for design, painful onboarding for devex).

Touchfiles wiring:
- E2E_TOUCHFILES: 4 plan-*-finding-floor entries with deps on the
  matching skill template, the shared resolver, the seeds fixture,
  and the PTY runner helper
- E2E_TIERS: all 4 entries marked 'gate'
- touchfiles.test.ts: count assertion bumped 21→22 with explicit
  plan-ceo-finding-floor containment check

9e244c0bed v1.11.1.0 fix: plan-mode handshake + canUseTool test harness (#1182)
* feat: plan-mode handshake for interactive review skills

Add a preamble-level STOP-Ask handshake that fires when the user invokes any
of the 4 interactive review skills (plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review,
plan-design-review, plan-devex-review) while their Claude Code session is
in plan mode. Without this gate, plan mode's "this supercedes any other
instructions" system-reminder outranked the skills' interactive STOP gates
and the skills silently wrote plan files without any per-finding AskUserQuestion.

The handshake offers 2 options (exit-and-rerun, cancel) — the original
third "stay and batch" option was dropped after two independent reviewers
flagged it as a silent bypass of the skills' anti-skip rule.

Architecture decisions (CEO+Eng review):
- Preamble-level resolver, not per-template injection (Codex finding #2)
- Position 1 in preamble composition: after bash block (_SESSION_ID live),
  before onboarding AskUserQuestion gates (so fresh-install users see the
  handshake first, not drowned in telemetry/proactive/routing prompts)
- Generator-only `interactive: true` frontmatter flag, following the
  `preamble-tier` precedent (no host-config frontmatter allowlist edits)
- Host-scoped to Claude via `ctx.host === 'claude'` check inside the
  resolver (simpler than `suppressedResolvers` which only gates `{{}}`
  placeholders)
- One-way-door classification in scripts/question-registry.ts for all 4
  skills so question-tuning `never-ask` preferences can't suppress the gate
- Synchronous telemetry write to ~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl on
  handshake fire (captures A-exit and C-cancel outcomes that terminate the
  skill before end-of-run telemetry runs)

Also adds an explicit STOP block to plan-ceo-review Step 0C-bis so the
approach-selection question can't silently skip to mode selection.

* feat: extend agent-sdk-runner with canUseTool for AskUserQuestion interception

Test harness at test/helpers/agent-sdk-runner.ts gains an optional
`canUseTool` callback parameter. When a test supplies it, the harness
flips `permissionMode` from `bypassPermissions` (overlay-harness default)
to `default` so the SDK actually invokes the callback on every tool use,
and auto-adds `AskUserQuestion` to `allowedTools` so Claude can fire it
at all.

Exports a `passThroughNonAskUserQuestion` helper so tests that only want
to intercept AskUserQuestion can auto-allow every other tool with one
line: `return passThroughNonAskUserQuestion(toolName, input)`.

This is the foundation for D14 — every future interactive-skill E2E test
can now assert on AskUserQuestion shape and routing. Previous E2E tests
at `test/skill-e2e.test.ts` explicitly instructed the model to skip
AskUserQuestion ("non-interactive run") which meant no test could actually
verify the question content or routing.

6 new unit tests in test/agent-sdk-runner.test.ts cover:
- permissionMode flips to 'default' when canUseTool supplied
- permissionMode stays 'bypassPermissions' when canUseTool absent
- canUseTool callback reaches the SDK options
- AskUserQuestion auto-added to allowedTools when canUseTool supplied
- AskUserQuestion NOT added when canUseTool absent
- passThroughNonAskUserQuestion helper returns allow+updatedInput

* test: plan-mode handshake E2E coverage and unit assertions

Adds 6 E2E test files and 8 new unit assertions to verify the plan-mode
handshake works end-to-end and stays correct under regeneration.

E2E tests (gate-tier, paid, EVALS=1 EVALS_TIER=gate):
- test/skill-e2e-plan-ceo-plan-mode.test.ts — handshake fires before any
  Write/Edit when plan-mode distinctive phrase is present; 2-option shape
  (Exit/Cancel); option A routes to ExitPlanMode cleanly
- test/skill-e2e-plan-eng-plan-mode.test.ts — same contract for plan-eng
- test/skill-e2e-plan-design-plan-mode.test.ts — same contract for
  plan-design; exercises C-cancel branch instead of A-exit
- test/skill-e2e-plan-devex-plan-mode.test.ts — same contract for plan-devex
- test/skill-e2e-plan-mode-no-op.test.ts — negative regression: handshake
  must NOT fire when distinctive phrase is absent; skill proceeds normally
  through Step 0 (REGRESSION RULE guardrail against breaking existing
  interactive-review sessions)
- test/e2e-harness-audit.test.ts — free unit test asserting every
  `interactive: true` skill has at least one canUseTool-using test file
  (prevents future drift where a skill opts in without coverage)

Shared helper test/helpers/plan-mode-handshake-helpers.ts centralizes the
canUseTool interceptor + distinctive-phrase injection so the 4 sibling
E2E tests are thin wiring (~20 LOC each) and can't drift out of sync.

Unit assertions added to test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts:
- handshake section present in all 4 Claude-generated SKILL.md files
- handshake section absent from non-interactive Claude skills (ship,
  review, qa, office-hours, codex, retro, cso)
- handshake section absent from non-Claude host outputs (.agents, etc.)
- 0C-bis STOP block present in plan-ceo-review/SKILL.md at correct
  position (between the "Present these approach options" line and
  "### 0D-prelude" header)
- handshake resolver wired BEFORE generateUpgradeCheck in preamble
  composition order

6 new gate-tier entries added to test/helpers/touchfiles.ts so any change
to the handshake resolver, preamble composition, skill templates, question
registry, one-way-door classifier, or agent-sdk-runner fires the relevant
E2E tests. test/touchfiles.test.ts updated for the new selection count
(plan-ceo-review/** now triggers 15 tests, up from 8).

* chore(v1.11.1.0): VERSION bump + CHANGELOG entry + TODOS follow-ups

Bumps from main's v1.11.0.0 to v1.11.1.0 (PATCH — bug-fix release, no new
user-facing artifacts). CHANGELOG entry covers the plan-mode handshake,
agent-sdk-runner canUseTool extension, and the 2 follow-up TODOs.

CHANGELOG order: v1.11.1.0 (this) → v1.11.0.0 (workspace-aware ship,
merged from main) → v1.10.1.0 (overlay efficacy harness). No duplicate
headers.

Syncs package.json version to match VERSION per the Step 12 idempotency
invariant (both files must agree or /ship halts).

TODOS.md:
- Preserves the Testing/security-bench-haiku-responses P1 added on main
- Adds P1 "Structural STOP-Ask forcing function" — broader class of the
  bug this release fixes
- Adds P2 "Apply interactive: true to non-review skills (office-hours,
  codex, investigate, qa, retro, cso)"

a81be53621 v1.10.0.0: fix AskUserQuestion cadence + Pros/Cons format upgrade (#1178)
* fix(preamble): reorder AskUserQuestion Format above model overlay + rewrite Opus 4.7 pacing directive

Root cause of plan-review regression (v1.6.4.0): model overlays rendered
ABOVE the pacing rule in every SKILL.md, so Opus 4.7 read "Batch your
questions" first and absorbed it as the ambient default. The overlay's
claimed subordination ("skill wins on pacing, always") didn't stick —
literal-interpretation mode reads physical order, not claimed hierarchy.

Part 1 of 4 (plan: ~/.claude/plans/system-instruction-you-are-working-polymorphic-twilight.md):

scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts
- Move generateAskUserFormat above generateModelOverlay in section array
- Comment explains why — prevents future refactors from silently reverting

model-overlays/opus-4-7.md
- Replace "Batch your questions" block with "Pace questions to the skill"
- New wording makes one-question-per-turn the default when the skill
  contains STOP directives; batching becomes the explicit exception

Regenerated 30 SKILL.md files via bun run gen:skill-docs.

Verified:
- With --model opus-4-7: Format renders at line 359, Model-Specific
  Patch at 373, "Pace questions" at 419 (Format comes first, overlay
  second, pacing directive intact).
- bun test passes.

* fix(plan-reviews): tighten STOP/escape-hatch directives across 4 templates

Part 2 of 4 (plan: ~/.claude/plans/system-instruction-you-are-working-polymorphic-twilight.md).

Codex caught that v1.6.3.0's reasoning collapsed on Opus 4.7: the old
escape-hatch wording ("If no issues or fix is obvious, state what
you'll do and move on — don't waste a question") let the literal
interpreter classify every finding as having an "obvious fix" and skip
AskUserQuestion entirely. Reviews became reports.

Per-template hardening (16 sites total, verified by rg):

plan-ceo-review/SKILL.md.tmpl (13 sites):
- 12 inline STOP directives: replace the full escape-hatch clause with
  "zero findings → say so and proceed; findings → MUST call AskUserQuestion
  as a tool_use, including for obvious fixes."
- 1 Escape hatch bullet in CRITICAL RULE section: tightened.

plan-eng-review, plan-design-review, plan-devex-review (1 site each):
- Each template's Escape hatch bullet tightened to match the new CEO wording,
  adapted for each review's domain (issue/gap, decision/design/DX alternatives).

After regeneration: rg "don't waste a question" returns 0 across all
*SKILL.md.tmpl and *SKILL.md files. "zero findings, state" wording
present 16 times (matches prior count of escape-hatch sites).

bun test passes.

* feat(preamble): upgrade AskUserQuestion format to Pros/Cons decision brief

Part 4 of 4 (plan: ~/.claude/plans/system-instruction-you-are-working-polymorphic-twilight.md).

Every AskUserQuestion now renders as a decision brief, not a bullet list:
D-numbered header, ELI10, Stakes-if-we-pick-wrong, Recommendation, Pros/Cons
with / markers per option, closing Net: tradeoff synthesis.

scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-ask-user-format.ts
- Full rewrite. Preserves prior rules (Re-ground, ELI10, Recommend,
  Completeness, Options) and adds:
  - D-numbering per skill invocation (model-level, not runtime state)
  - Stakes line (pain avoided / capability unlocked / consequence named)
  - Pros/Cons block with min 2  + 1  per option, min 40 chars/bullet
  - Hard-stop escape: " No cons — this is a hard-stop choice" for
    genuine one-sided choices (destructive-action confirmations)
  - Neutral-posture handling (CT1-compliant): (recommended) label
    STAYS on default option to preserve AUTO_DECIDE contract; neutrality
    expressed as prose in Recommendation line only
  - Net line closes the decision with a one-sentence tradeoff frame
  - Rule 11: tool_use mandate (prose "Question:" blocks don't count)
  - Self-check list before emitting

test/skill-validation.test.ts
- Update format assertions to check for new Pros/Cons tokens
  (Pros / cons:, Recommendation: <choice>, Net:, ELI10, Stakes if we
  pick wrong:, , ) across all tier-2+ skills
- Old "RECOMMENDATION: Choose" expectation removed (the new format uses
  mixed-case "Recommendation:" with no literal "Choose")

test/skill-e2e-plan-format.test.ts
- Add v1.7.0.0 format token regexes (PROS_CONS_HEADER_RE, PRO_BULLET_RE,
  CON_BULLET_RE, NET_LINE_RE, D_NUMBER_RE, STAKES_RE)
- Existing RECOMMENDATION_RE loosened to accept mixed-case "Recommendation:"
  (canonical v1.7.0.0 form) alongside all-caps (legacy). Tests are
  additive — the strict new-format gate is the upcoming cadence eval.

Regenerated 30 SKILL.md files via bun run gen:skill-docs.

Verified:
- bun test: 319 pass (1 pre-existing security-bench fixture oversize
  failure on main, unrelated — confirmed via git stash test on main HEAD)
- New format tokens render in all tier-2+ skills (plan-ceo-review,
  plan-eng-review, ship, office-hours verified)

* test: gate-tier units + periodic Pros/Cons evals for AskUserQuestion format

Part 3 of 4 (plan: ~/.claude/plans/system-instruction-you-are-working-polymorphic-twilight.md).

Gate-tier (E1, free, runs on every `bun test`):

test/preamble-compose.test.ts — pins the composition order
  Asserts AskUserQuestion Format section renders BEFORE Model-Specific
  Behavioral Patch in tier-≥2 preamble output. Covers claude default,
  opus-4-7 overlay, tier 2/3, and codex host. Catches any future edit
  to scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts that silently reverts the order.

test/resolver-ask-user-format.test.ts — pins the Pros/Cons contract
  14 assertions against generateAskUserFormat output: D<N>, ELI10,
  Stakes if we pick wrong:, Recommendation: <choice>, Pros / cons:,
  / markers, min 2 pros + 1 con rules, hard-stop escape exact
  phrase, neutral-posture CT1 rule ((recommended) label preserved for
  AUTO_DECIDE), Completeness coverage-vs-kind, tool_use mandate
  (rule 11), self-check list, D-numbering model-level caveat.

test/model-overlay-opus-4-7.test.ts — pins the pacing directive
  Asserts raw overlay file + resolved overlay output contain "Pace
  questions to the skill" and NOT "Batch your questions". Verifies
  INHERIT:claude chain still works (Todo-list, subordination wrapper),
  Fan out / Effort-match / Literal interpretation nudges preserved.
  Also asserts claude base overlay does NOT carry the Opus-specific
  pacing directive (no cross-contamination).

Periodic-tier (E2, Opus-dependent, ~$1-2/run):

test/skill-e2e-plan-prosons.test.ts — 4 cases extending v1.6.3.0 harness
  1. Format positive — every token present when plan has real tradeoff
  2. Hard-stop NEGATIVE — plan with genuine tradeoff must NOT dodge to
     "No cons — hard-stop choice" escape
  3. Neutral-posture NEGATIVE — plan where one option dominates must emit
     (recommended) label + "because <reason>", must NOT dodge to
     "taste call" / "no preference"
  4. Hard-stop POSITIVE — destructive-action plan may legitimately use
     the hard-stop escape

test/helpers/touchfiles.ts — entries for all new eval cases
  Dependencies: overlay, preamble.ts, generate-ask-user-format.ts, and
  the 4 plan-review templates. Diff-based selection triggers the evals
  whenever those files change. Also added entries for 7 expanded-coverage
  cases (ship, office-hours, investigate, qa, review, design-review,
  document-release) — test cases will land in follow-up PRs per skill.

Follow-ups noted in test file header:
- True multi-turn cadence eval (3 findings → 3 distinct asks) — current
  harness captures one $OUT_FILE per session; multi-turn capture needs
  new harness support.
- Expanded-coverage test cases for the 7 non-plan-review skills.

Verified:
- bun test: 349 pass (30 new + 319 baseline), 1 pre-existing security-bench
  oversize failure on main (unrelated, unchanged).

* test: regenerate golden fixtures + update ELI10 phrase check for v1.7.0.0

Pros/Cons format rewrite (6b99df9d) changed the resolver output across all
tier-2+ SKILL.md files. Three golden-file regression tests in
test/host-config.test.ts and one phrase-check test in test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts
were failing as expected.

- test/fixtures/golden/claude-ship-SKILL.md
- test/fixtures/golden/codex-ship-SKILL.md
- test/fixtures/golden/factory-ship-SKILL.md
  Regenerated via `bun run gen:skill-docs --host all` + cp into fixtures.

- test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts line 244: rename test from "ELI16 simplification
  rules" to "ELI10 simplification rules" and match the new phrase pattern.
  v1.7.0.0 uses "ELI10 (ALWAYS)" rather than legacy "Simplify (ELI10, ALWAYS)".

bun test: 744 pass, 1 fail (pre-existing security-bench fixture oversize,
unrelated to this branch).

* v1.7.0.0: plan reviews walk you through each issue with Pros/Cons

Restores AskUserQuestion cadence on Opus 4.7 (v1.6.4.0 regression) and
upgrades the format to a numbered decision brief — D<N> header, ELI10,
Stakes, Recommendation, per-option / bullets, Net: closing line.

Fix: composition reorder + overlay rewrite + 16-site escape-hatch hardening
across the 4 plan-review templates.
Feature: Pros/Cons format in the preamble resolver, inherited by every
tier-2+ skill automatically.

30 new gate-tier unit tests pin the format contract (runs in <100ms, $0).
4 new periodic-tier eval cases defend against escape-hatch abuse
(2 positive, 2 negative). Golden fixtures regenerated.

CEO + Eng + Codex reviews completed. 5 of 8 Codex findings incorporated;
CT2 (16 sites, not 31) and CT1 (AUTO_DECIDE contract break) were
load-bearing catches the primary reviews missed.

bun test: 774 pass, 1 fail (pre-existing security-bench oversize, unrelated).

* v1.10.0.0: bump VERSION (was v1.7.0.0, align with branch discipline)

Per user direction — jumping to 1.10.0.0 for versioning alignment.
No functional changes from the prior ship commit (5f038ab7). The
regression fix + Pros/Cons format are identical.

1211b6b40b community wave: 6 PRs + hardening (v0.18.1.0) (#1028)
* fix: extend tilde-in-assignment fix to design resolver + 4 skill templates

PR #993 fixed the Claude Code permission prompt for `scripts/resolvers/browse.ts`
and `gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md.tmpl`. Same bug lives in three more places that
weren't on the contributor's branch:

- `scripts/resolvers/design.ts` (3 spots: D=, B=, and _DESIGN_DIR=)
- `design-shotgun/SKILL.md.tmpl` (_DESIGN_DIR=)
- `plan-design-review/SKILL.md.tmpl` (_DESIGN_DIR=)
- `design-consultation/SKILL.md.tmpl` (_DESIGN_DIR=)
- `design-review/SKILL.md.tmpl` (REPORT_DIR=)

Replaces bare `~/` with quoted `"$HOME/..."` in the source-of-truth files, then
regenerates. `grep -rEn '^[A-Za-z_]+=~/' --include="SKILL.md" .` now returns zero
hits across all hosts (claude, codex, cursor, gbrain, hermes).

* fix(openclaw): make native skills codex-friendly (#864)

Normalizes YAML frontmatter on the 4 hand-authored OpenClaw skills so stricter
parsers like Codex can load them. Codex CLI was rejecting these files with
"mapping values are not allowed in this context" on colons inside unquoted
description scalars.

- Drops non-standard `version` and `metadata` fields
- Rewrites descriptions into simple "Use when..." form (no inline colons)
- Adds a regression test enforcing strict frontmatter (name + description only)

Verified live: Codex CLI now loads the skills without errors. Observed during
/codex outside-voice run on the eval-community-prs plan review — Codex stderr
tripped on these exact files, which was real-world confirmation the fix is needed.

Dropped the connect-chrome changes from the original PR (the symlink removal is
out of scope for this fix; keeping connect-chrome -> open-gstack-browser).

* fix(browse): server persists across Claude Code Bash calls

The browse server was dying between Bash tool invocations in Claude Code
because:

1. SIGTERM: The Claude Code sandbox sends SIGTERM to all child processes
   when a Bash command completes. The server received this and called
   shutdown(), deleting the state file and exiting.

2. Parent watchdog: The server polls BROWSE_PARENT_PID every 15s. When
   the parent Bash shell exits (killed by sandbox), the watchdog detected
   it and called shutdown().

Both mechanisms made it impossible to use the browse tool across multiple
Bash calls — every new `$B` invocation started a fresh server with no
cookies, no page state, and no tabs.

Fix:
- SIGTERM handler: log and ignore instead of shutdown. Explicit shutdown
  is still available via the /stop command or SIGINT (Ctrl+C).
- Parent watchdog: log once and continue instead of shutdown. The existing
  idle timeout (30 min) handles eventual cleanup.

The /stop command and SIGINT still work for intentional shutdown. Windows
behavior is unchanged (uses taskkill /F which bypasses signal handlers).

Tested: browse server survives across 5+ separate Bash tool calls in
Claude Code, maintaining cookies, page state, and navigation.

* fix(browse): gate #994 SIGTERM-ignore to normal mode only

PR #994 made browse persist across Claude Code Bash calls by ignoring SIGTERM
and parent-PID death, relying on the 30-min idle timeout for eventual cleanup.

Codex outside-voice review caught that the idle timeout doesn't apply in two
modes: headed mode (/open-gstack-browser) and tunnel mode (/pair-agent). Both
early-return from idleCheckInterval. Combined with #994's ignore-SIGTERM, those
sessions would leak forever after the user disconnects — a real resource leak on
shared machines where multiple /pair-agent sessions come and go.

Fix: gate SIGTERM-ignore and parent-PID-watchdog-ignore to normal (headless) mode
only. Headed + tunnel modes respect both signals and shutdown cleanly. Idle
timeout behavior unchanged.

Also documents the deliberate contract change for future contributors — don't
re-add global SIGTERM shutdown thinking it's missing; it's intentionally scoped.

- Extend BrowserPlatform to include win32
- Add windowsDataDir to BrowserInfo; populate for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Chromium
- getBaseDir('win32') → ~/AppData/Local
- findBrowserMatch checks Network/Cookies first on Windows (Chrome 80+)
- Add getWindowsAesKey() reading os_crypt.encrypted_key from Local State JSON
- Add dpapiDecrypt() via PowerShell ProtectedData.Unprotect (stdin/stdout)
- decryptCookieValue branches on platform: AES-256-GCM (Windows) vs AES-128-CBC (mac/linux)

* fix(browse): Windows cookie import — profile discovery, v20 detection, CDP fallback

Three bugs fixed in cookie-import-browser.ts:
- listProfiles() and findInstalledBrowsers() now check Network/Cookies on Windows
  (Chrome 80+ moved cookies from profile/Cookies to profile/Network/Cookies)
- openDb() always uses copy-then-read on Windows (Chrome holds exclusive locks)
- decryptCookieValue() detects v20 App-Bound Encryption with specific error code

Added CDP-based extraction fallback (importCookiesViaCdp) for v20 cookies:
- Launches Chrome headless with --remote-debugging-port on the real profile
- Extracts cookies via Network.getAllCookies over CDP WebSocket
- Requires Chrome to be closed (v20 keys are path-bound to user-data-dir)
- Both cookie picker UI and CLI direct-import paths auto-fall back to CDP

* fix(browse): document CDP debug port security + log Chrome version on v20 fallback

Follow-up to #892 per Codex outside-voice review. Two small additions to the
Windows v20 App-Bound Encryption CDP fallback:

1. Inline comment documenting the deliberate security posture of the
   --remote-debugging-port. Chrome binds it to 127.0.0.1 by default, so the
   threat model is local-user-only (which is no worse than baseline — local
   attackers can already read the cookie DB). Random port 9222-9321 is for
   collision avoidance, not security. Chrome is always killed in finally.

2. One-time Chrome version log on CDP entry via /json/version. When Chrome
   inevitably changes v20 key format or /json/list shape in a future major
   version, logs will show exactly which version users are hitting.

* chore: v0.18.1.0 — community wave (6 PRs + hardening)

VERSION bump + users-first CHANGELOG entry for the wave:
- #993 tilde-in-assignment fix (byliu-labs)
- #994 browse server persists across Bash calls (joelgreen)
- #996 cookie picker alive after cli exits (voidborne-d)
- #864 OpenClaw skills codex-friendly (cathrynlavery)
- #982 OpenCode native setup (breakneo)
- #892 Windows cookie import + DPAPI + v20 CDP fallback (msr-hickory)

Plus 3 follow-up hardening commits we own:
- Extended tilde fix to design resolver + 4 more skill templates
- Gated #994 SIGTERM-ignore to normal mode only (headed/tunnel preserve shutdown)
- Documented CDP debug port security + log Chrome version on v20 fallback

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

* fix: review pass — package.json version, import dedup, error context, stale help

Findings from /review on the wave PR:

- [P1] package.json version was 0.18.0.1 but VERSION is 0.18.1.0, failing
  test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts:177 "package.json version matches VERSION file".
  Bumped package.json to 0.18.1.0.
- [P2] Duplicate import of cookie-picker-routes in browse/src/server.ts
  (handleCookiePickerRoute at line 20 + hasActivePicker at line 792). Merged
  into single import at top.
- [P2] cookie-import-browser.ts:494 generic rethrow loses underlying error.
  Now preserves the message so "ENOENT" vs "JSON parse error" vs "permission
  denied" are distinguishable in user output.
- [P3] setup:46 "Missing value for --host" error message listed an incomplete
  set of hosts (missing factory, openclaw, hermes, gbrain). Aligned with the
  "Unknown value" error on line 94.

Kept as-is (not real issues):
- cookie-import-browser.ts:869 empty catch on Chrome version fetch is the
  correct pattern for best-effort diagnostics (per slop-scan philosophy in
  CLAUDE.md — fire-and-forget failures shouldn't throw).

* test(watchdog): invert test 3 to match merged #994 behavior

main #1025 added browse/test/watchdog.test.ts with test 3 expecting the old
"watchdog kills server when parent dies" behavior. The merge with this
branch's #994 inverted that semantic — the server now STAYS ALIVE on parent
death in normal headless mode (multi-step QA across Claude Code Bash calls
depends on this).

Changes:
- Renamed test 3 from "watchdog fires when parent dies" to "server STAYS ALIVE
  when parent dies (#994)".
- Replaced 25s shutdown poll with 20s observation window asserting the server
  remains alive after the watchdog tick.
- Updated docstring to document all 3 watchdog invariants (env-var disable,
  headed-mode disable, headless persists) and note tunnel-mode coverage gap.

Verification: bun test browse/test/watchdog.test.ts → 3 pass, 0 fail (22.7s).

* fix(ci): switch apt mirror to Hetzner to bypass Ubicloud → archive.ubuntu.com timeouts

Both build attempts of `.github/docker/Dockerfile.ci` failed at
`apt-get update` with persistent connection timeouts to archive.ubuntu.com:80
and security.ubuntu.com:80 — 90+ seconds of "connection timed out" against
every Ubuntu IP. Not a transient blip; this PR doesn't touch the Dockerfile,
and a re-run reproduced the same failure across all 9 mirror IPs.

Root cause: Ubicloud runners (Hetzner FSN1-DC21 per runner output) have
unreliable HTTP-port-80 routing to Ubuntu's official archive endpoints.

Fix:
- Rewrite /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources (deb822 format in 24.04)
  to use https://mirror.hetzner.com/ubuntu/packages instead. Hetzner's
  mirror is publicly accessible from any cloud (not Hetzner-only despite
  the name) and route-local for Ubicloud's actual host. Solves both
  reliability and latency.
- Add a 3-attempt retry loop around both `apt-get update` calls as
  belt-and-suspenders. Even Hetzner's mirror can have brief blips, and the
  retry costs nothing when the first attempt succeeds.

Verification: the workflow will rebuild on push. Local `docker build` not
practical for a 12-step image with bun + claude + playwright deps + a 10-min
cold install. Trusting CI.

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

* fix(ci): use HTTP for Hetzner apt mirror (base image lacks ca-certificates)

Previous commit switched to https://mirror.hetzner.com/... which proved the
mirror is reachable and routes correctly (no more 90s timeouts), but exposed
a chicken-and-egg: ubuntu:24.04 ships without ca-certificates, and that's
exactly the package we're installing. Result: "No system certificates
available. Try installing ca-certificates."

Fix: use http:// for the Hetzner mirror. Apt's security model verifies
package integrity via GPG-signed Release files, not TLS, so HTTP here is
no weaker than the upstream defaults (Ubuntu's official sources also
default to HTTP for the same reason).

b805aa0113 feat: Confusion Protocol, Hermes + GBrain hosts, brain-first resolver (v0.18.0.0) (#1005)
* feat: add Confusion Protocol to preamble resolver

Injects a high-stakes ambiguity gate at preamble tier >= 2 so all
workflow skills get it. Fires when Claude encounters architectural
decisions, data model changes, destructive operations, or contradictory
requirements. Does NOT fire on routine coding.

Addresses Karpathy failure mode #1 (wrong assumptions) with an
inline STOP gate instead of relying on workflow skill invocation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add Hermes and GBrain host configs

Hermes: tool rewrites for terminal/read_file/patch/delegate_task,
paths to ~/.hermes/skills/gstack, AGENTS.md config file.

GBrain: coding skills become brain-aware when GBrain mod is installed.
Same tool rewrites as OpenClaw (agents spawn Claude Code via ACP).
GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD and GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS NOT suppressed on gbrain
host, enabling brain-first lookup and save-to-brain behavior.

Both registered in hosts/index.ts with setup script redirect messages.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: GBrain resolver — brain-first lookup and save-to-brain

New scripts/resolvers/gbrain.ts with two resolver functions:
- GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD: search brain for context before skill starts
- GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS: save skill output to brain after completion

Placeholders added to 4 thinking skill templates (office-hours,
investigate, plan-ceo-review, retro). Resolves to empty string on
all hosts except gbrain via suppressedResolvers.

GBRAIN suppression added to all 9 non-gbrain host configs.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: wire slop:diff into /review as advisory diagnostic

Adds Step 3.5 to the review template: runs bun run slop:diff against
the base branch to catch AI code quality issues (empty catches,
redundant return await, overcomplicated abstractions). Advisory only,
never blocking. Skips silently if slop-scan is not installed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add Karpathy compatibility note to README

Positions gstack as the workflow enforcement layer for Karpathy-style
CLAUDE.md rules (17K stars). Links to forrestchang/andrej-karpathy-skills.
Maps each Karpathy failure mode to the gstack skill that addresses it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: improve native OpenClaw thinking skills

office-hours: add design doc path visibility message after writing
ceo-review: add HARD GATE reminder at review section transitions
retro: add non-git context support (check memory for meeting notes)

Mirrors template improvements to hand-crafted native skills.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: update tests and golden fixtures for new hosts

- Host count: 8 → 10 (hermes, gbrain)
- OpenClaw adapter test: expects undefined (dead code removed)
- Golden ship fixtures: updated with Confusion Protocol + vendoring

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate all SKILL.md files

Regenerated from templates after Confusion Protocol, GBrain resolver
placeholders, slop:diff in review, HARD GATE reminders, investigation
learnings, design doc visibility, and retro non-git context changes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update project documentation for v0.18.0.0

- CHANGELOG: add v0.18.0.0 entry (Confusion Protocol, Hermes, GBrain,
  slop in review, Karpathy note, skill improvements)
- CLAUDE.md: add hermes.ts and gbrain.ts to hosts listing
- README.md: update agent count 8→10, add Hermes + GBrain to table
- VERSION: bump to 0.18.0.0

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: sync package.json version to 0.18.0.0

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: extract Step 0 from review SKILL.md in E2E test

The review-base-branch E2E test was copying the full 1493-line
review/SKILL.md into the test fixture. The agent spent 8+ turns
reading it in chunks, leaving only 7 turns for actual work, causing
error_max_turns on every attempt.

Now extracts only Step 0 (base branch detection, ~50 lines) which is
all the test actually needs. Follows the CLAUDE.md rule: "NEVER copy
a full SKILL.md file into an E2E test fixture."

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: update GBrain and Hermes host configs for v0.10.0 integration

GBrain: add 'triggers' to keepFields so generated skills pass
checkResolvable() validation. Add version compat comment.

Hermes: un-suppress GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD and GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS.
The resolvers handle GBrain-not-installed gracefully, so Hermes
agents with GBrain as a mod get brain features automatically.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: GBrain resolver DX improvements and preamble health check

Resolver changes:
- gbrain query → gbrain search (fast keyword search, not expensive hybrid)
- Add keyword extraction guidance for agents
- Show explicit gbrain put_page syntax with --title, --tags, heredoc
- Add entity enrichment with false-positive filter
- Name throttle error patterns (exit code 1, stderr keywords)
- Add data-research routing for investigate skill
- Expand skillSaveMap from 4 to 8 entries
- Add brain operation telemetry summary

Preamble changes:
- Add gbrain doctor --fast --json health check for gbrain/hermes hosts
- Parse check failures/warnings count
- Show failing check details when score < 50

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: preserve keepFields in allowlist frontmatter mode

The allowlist mode hard-coded name + description reconstruction but
never iterated keepFields for additional fields. Adding 'triggers'
to keepFields was a no-op because the field was silently stripped.

Now iterates keepFields and preserves any field beyond name/description
from the source template frontmatter, including YAML arrays.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add triggers to all 38 skill templates

Multi-word, skill-specific trigger keywords for GBrain's RESOLVER.md
router. Each skill gets 3-6 triggers derived from its "Use when asked
to..." description text. Avoids single generic words that would collide
across skills (e.g., "debug this" not "debug").

These are distinct from voice-triggers (speech-to-text aliases) and
serve GBrain's checkResolvable() validation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate all SKILL.md files and update golden fixtures

Regenerated from updated templates (triggers, brain placeholders,
resolver DX improvements, preamble health check). Golden fixtures
updated to match.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: settings-hook remove exits 1 when nothing to remove

gstack-settings-hook remove was exiting 0 when settings.json didn't
exist, causing gstack-uninstall to report "SessionStart hook" as
removed on clean systems where nothing was installed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update project documentation for GBrain v0.10.0 integration

ARCHITECTURE.md: added GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD and GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS
to resolver table.

CHANGELOG.md: expanded v0.18.0.0 entry with GBrain v0.10.0 integration
details (triggers, expanded brain-awareness, DX improvements, Hermes
brain support), updated date.

CLAUDE.md: added gbrain to resolvers/ directory comment.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: routing E2E stops writing to user's ~/.claude/skills/

installSkills() was copying SKILL.md files to both project-level
(.claude/skills/ in tmpDir) and user-level (~/.claude/skills/).
Writing to the user's real install fails when symlinks point to
different worktrees or dangling targets (ENOENT on copyFileSync).

Now installs to project-level only. The test already sets cwd to
the tmpDir, so project-level discovery works.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: scale Gemini E2E back to smoke test

Gemini CLI gets lost in worktrees on complex tasks (review times out
at 600s, discover-skill hits exit 124). Nobody uses Gemini for gstack
skill execution. Replace the two failing tests (gemini-discover-skill
and gemini-review-findings) with a single smoke test that verifies
Gemini can start and read the README. 90s timeout, no skill invocation.

2300067267 feat: UX behavioral foundations + ux-audit command (v0.17.0.0) (#1000)
* feat: UX behavioral foundations — Krug's usability principles as shared design infrastructure

Add UX_PRINCIPLES resolver distilling Steve Krug's "Don't Make Me Think" into
actionable guidance for AI agents. Injected into all 4 design skills as a shared
behavioral foundation complementing the existing visual checklist (WHAT to check)
and cognitive patterns (HOW designers see) with HOW USERS ACTUALLY BEHAVE.

Methodology rewire: 6 Krug usability tests woven into existing design-review
phases — Trunk Test, 3-Second Scan, Page Area Test, Happy Talk Detection with
word count metric, Mindless Choice Audit, Goodwill Reservoir tracking with
visual dashboard. First-person narration mode for design-review output with
anti-slop guardrail.

Hard rules: 4 Krug always/never rules in DESIGN_HARD_RULES (placeholder-as-label,
floating headings, visited link distinction, minimum type size). Krug, Redish,
Jarrett added to plan-design-review references.

Token ceiling: gen-skill-docs.ts warns if any SKILL.md exceeds 100KB (~25K tokens).
Documented in CLAUDE.md.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: $B ux-audit command + snapshot --heatmap flag

New browse meta-command: ux-audit extracts page structure (site ID, navigation,
headings, interactive elements, text blocks) as structured JSON for agent-side
UX behavioral analysis. Pure data extraction — the agent applies the 6 usability
tests and makes judgment calls. Element caps: 50 headings, 100 links, 200
interactive, 50 text blocks.

New snapshot flag: -H/--heatmap accepts a JSON color map mapping ref IDs to
colors (green/yellow/red/blue/orange/gray). Extends existing snapshot -a
annotation system with per-ref colors instead of hardcoded red. Color whitelist
validation prevents CSS injection. Composable — any skill can use it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update project documentation for v0.17.0.0

ARCHITECTURE.md: added {{UX_PRINCIPLES}} resolver to placeholder table.
VERSION: bumped to 0.17.0.0 for UX behavioral foundations release.

* fix: adversarial review fixes for ux-audit and heatmap

Security:
- Remove live form value extraction from ux-audit (leaked input field values)
- Add ux-audit to PAGE_CONTENT_COMMANDS (untrusted content wrapping)

Correctness:
- Scope youAreHere selector to nav containers (was matching animation classes)
- Validate heatmap JSON is a plain object (string/array/null produced garbage)
- Use textContent instead of innerText for word count (avoids layout computation)
- Remove dead url variable and unused LINK_CAP constant

Found by Codex + Claude adversarial review.

8115951284 feat: recursive self-improvement — operational learning + full skill wiring (v0.13.8.0) (#647)
* refactor: remove dead contributor mode, replace with operational self-improvement slot

Contributor mode never fired in 18 days of heavy use (required manual opt-in
via gstack-config, gated behind _CONTRIB=true, wrote disconnected markdown).

Removes: generateContributorMode(), _CONTRIB bash var, 2 E2E tests, touchfile
entry, doc references. Cleans up skip-lists in plan-ceo-review, autoplan,
review resolver, and document-release templates.

The operational self-improvement system (next commit) replaces this slot with
automatic learning capture that requires no opt-in.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: operational self-improvement — every skill learns from failures

Adds universal operational learning capture to the preamble completion protocol.
At the end of every skill session, the agent reflects on CLI failures, wrong
approaches, and project quirks, logging them as type "operational" to the
learnings JSONL. Future sessions surface these automatically.

- generateCompletionStatus(ctx) now includes operational capture section
- Preamble bash shows top 3 learnings inline when count > 5
- New "operational" type in generateLearningsLog alongside pattern/pitfall/etc
- Updated unit tests + operational seed entry in learnings E2E

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: wire learnings into all insight-producing skills

Adds LEARNINGS_SEARCH and/or LEARNINGS_LOG to 10 skill templates that
produce reusable insights but were previously disconnected from the
learning system:

- office-hours, plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review: add LOG (had SEARCH)
- plan-design-review: add both SEARCH + LOG (had neither)
- design-review, design-consultation, cso, qa, qa-only: add both
- retro: add SEARCH (had LOG)

13 skills now fully participate in the learning loop (read + write).
Every review, QA, investigation, and design session both consults prior
learnings and contributes new ones.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add operational-learning E2E test (gate-tier)

Validates the write path: agent encounters a CLI failure, logs an
operational learning to JSONL via gstack-learnings-log. Replaces the
removed contributor-mode E2E test.

Setup: temp git repo, copy bin scripts, set GSTACK_HOME.
Prompt: simulated npm test failure needing --experimental-vm-modules.
Assert: learnings.jsonl exists with type=operational entry.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: learnings-show E2E slug mismatch — seed at computed slug, not hardcoded

The test seeded learnings at projects/test-project/ but gstack-slug computes
the slug from basename(workDir) when no git remote exists. The agent's search
looked at the wrong path and found nothing.

Fix: compute slug the same way gstack-slug does (basename + sanitize) and
seed the learnings there.

7911b7b974 fix: force comparison board as default variant chooser (v0.14.1.0) (#658)
* fix: force comparison board as default variant chooser

The comparison board ($D compare --serve) was being skipped in favor of
showing variants inline + AskUserQuestion "which do you prefer?" — a
degraded experience missing rating controls, comments, and remix buttons.

Changes:
- Replace "show inline" instruction with "do NOT show inline, proceed to
  comparison board" in plan-design-review/SKILL.md.tmpl
- Add CRITICAL RULE: never use AskUserQuestion as the variant chooser
- Change DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP resolver to AskUserQuestion-first wait with
  polling fallback (affects all 3 consumer skills)
- Fix board URL from /design-board.html (404) to / (correct)
- Improve serve-failure fallback to show variants inline via Read tool

making skills findable in Claude Code's command palette. First-line hooks
stay under 120 chars. Split ship description to fix wrapping.

* feat: auto-relink skill symlinks on prefix config change (#578)

New bin/gstack-relink creates prefixed (gstack-*) or flat symlinks
based on skill_prefix config. gstack-config auto-triggers relink
when skill_prefix changes. Setup guards against recursive calls
with GSTACK_SETUP_RUNNING env var.

* feat: add feature signal detection to version bump heuristic (#573)

/ship Step 4 now checks for feature signals (new routes, migrations,
test+source pairs, feat/ branches) when deciding version bumps.
PATCH requires no feature signals. MINOR asks the user if any signal
is detected or 500+ lines changed.

* feat: sidebar Write tool, stderr capture, cross-platform URL opener (#584)

Add Write to sidebar allowedTools (both sidebar-agent.ts and server.ts).
Write doesn't expand attack surface beyond what Bash already provides.
Replace empty stderr handler with buffer capture for better error
diagnostics. New bin/gstack-open-url for cross-platform URL opening.

Does NOT include Search Before Building intro flow (deferred).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: update sidebar-security test for Write tool addition

The fallback allowedTools string now includes Write, matching the
sidebar-agent.ts change from commit 68dc957.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.13.5.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: prevent gstack-relink from double-prefixing gstack-upgrade

gstack-relink now checks if a skill directory is already named gstack-*
before prepending the prefix. Previously, setting skill_prefix=true would
create gstack-gstack-upgrade, breaking the /gstack-upgrade command.

Matches setup script behavior (setup:260) which already has this guard.

78bc1d1968 feat: design binary — real UI mockup generation for gstack skills (v0.13.0.0) (#551)
* docs: design tools v1 plan — visual mockup generation for gstack skills

Full design doc covering the `design` binary that wraps OpenAI's GPT Image API
to generate real UI mockups from gstack's design skills. Includes comparison
board UX spec, auth model, 6 CEO expansions (design memory, mockup diffing,
screenshot evolution, design intent verification, responsive variants,
design-to-code prompt), and 9-commit implementation plan.

Reviewed: /office-hours + /plan-eng-review (CLEARED) + /plan-ceo-review
(EXPANSION, 6/6 accepted) + /plan-design-review (2/10 → 8/10).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: design tools prototype validation — GPT Image API works

Prototype script sends 3 design briefs to OpenAI Responses API with
image_generation tool. Results: dashboard (47s, 2.1MB), landing page
(42s, 1.3MB), settings page (37s, 1.3MB) all produce real, implementable
UI mockups with accurate text rendering and clean layouts.

Key finding: Codex OAuth tokens lack image generation scopes. Direct
API key (sk-proj-*) required, stored in ~/.gstack/openai.json.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: design binary core — generate, check, compare commands

Stateless CLI (design/dist/design) wrapping OpenAI Responses API for
UI mockup generation. Three working commands:

- generate: brief -> PNG mockup via gpt-4o + image_generation tool
- check: vision-based quality gate via GPT-4o (text readability, layout
  completeness, visual coherence)
- compare: generates self-contained HTML comparison board with star
  ratings, radio Pick, per-variant feedback, regenerate controls,
  and Submit button that writes structured JSON for agent polling

Auth reads from ~/.gstack/openai.json (0600), falls back to
OPENAI_API_KEY env var. Compiled separately from browse binary
(openai added to devDependencies, not runtime deps).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: design binary variants + iterate commands

variants: generates N style variations with staggered parallel (1.5s
between launches, exponential backoff on 429). 7 built-in style
variations (bold, calm, warm, corporate, dark, playful + default).
Tested: 3/3 variants in 41.6s.

iterate: multi-turn design iteration using previous_response_id for
conversational threading. Falls back to re-generation with accumulated
feedback if threading doesn't retain visual context.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: DESIGN_SETUP + DESIGN_MOCKUP template resolvers

Add generateDesignSetup() and generateDesignMockup() to the existing
design.ts resolver file. Add designDir to HostPaths (claude + codex).
Register DESIGN_SETUP and DESIGN_MOCKUP in the resolver index.

DESIGN_SETUP: $D binary discovery (mirrors $B browse setup pattern).
Falls back to DESIGN_SKETCH if binary not available.

DESIGN_MOCKUP: full visual exploration workflow template — construct
brief from DESIGN.md context, generate 3 variants, open comparison
board in Chrome, poll for user feedback, save approved mockup to
docs/designs/, generate HTML wireframe for implementation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: sync package.json version with VERSION file (0.12.2.0)

Pre-existing mismatch: VERSION was 0.12.2.0 but package.json was
0.12.0.0. Also adds design binary to build script and dev:design
convenience command.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: /office-hours visual design exploration integration

Add {{DESIGN_MOCKUP}} to office-hours template before the existing
{{DESIGN_SKETCH}}. When the design binary is available, /office-hours
generates 3 visual mockup variants, opens a comparison board in Chrome,
and polls for user feedback. Falls back to HTML wireframes if the
design binary isn't built.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: /plan-design-review visual mockup integration

Add {{DESIGN_SETUP}} to pre-review audit and "show me what 10/10
looks like" mockup generation to the 0-10 rating method. When a
design dimension rates below 7/10, the review can generate a mockup
showing the improved version. Falls back to text descriptions if
the design binary isn't available.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: design memory — extract visual language from mockups into DESIGN.md

New `$D extract` command: sends approved mockup to GPT-4o vision,
extracts color palette, typography, spacing, and layout patterns,
writes/updates DESIGN.md with an "Extracted Design Language" section.

Progressive constraint: if DESIGN.md exists, future mockup briefs
include it as style context. If no DESIGN.md, explorations run wide.
readDesignConstraints() reads existing DESIGN.md for brief construction.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: mockup diffing + design intent verification

New commands:
- $D diff --before old.png --after new.png: visual diff using GPT-4o
  vision. Returns differences by area with severity (high/medium/low)
  and a matchScore (0-100).
- $D verify --mockup approved.png --screenshot live.png: compares live
  site screenshot against approved design mockup. Pass if matchScore
  >= 70 and no high-severity differences.

Used by /design-review to close the design loop: design -> implement ->
verify visually.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: screenshot-to-mockup evolution ($D evolve)

New command: $D evolve --screenshot current.png --brief "make it calmer"

Two-step process: first analyzes the screenshot via GPT-4o vision to
produce a detailed description, then generates a new mockup that keeps
the existing layout structure but applies the requested changes. Starts
from reality, not blank canvas.

Bridges the gap between /design-review critique ("the spacing is off")
and a visual proposal of the fix.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: responsive variants + design-to-code prompt

Responsive variants: $D variants --viewports desktop,tablet,mobile
generates mockups at 1536x1024, 1024x1024, and 1024x1536 (portrait)
with viewport-appropriate layout instructions.

Design-to-code prompt: $D prompt --image approved.png extracts colors,
typography, layout, and components via GPT-4o vision, producing a
structured implementation prompt. Reads DESIGN.md for additional
constraint context.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.13.0.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: gstack designer as first-class tool in /plan-design-review

Brand the gstack designer prominently, add Step 0.5 for proactive visual
mockup generation before review passes, and update priority hierarchy.
When a plan describes new UI, the skill now offers to generate mockups
with $D variants, run $D check for quality gating, and present a
comparison board via $B goto before any review passes begin.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: integrate mockups into review passes and outputs

Thread Step 0.5 mockups through the review workflow: Pass 4 (AI Slop)
evaluates generated mockups visually, Pass 7 uses mockups as evidence
for unresolved decisions, post-pass offers one-shot regeneration after
design changes, and Approved Mockups section records chosen variants
with paths for the implementer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: gstack designer target mockups in /design-review fix loop

Add $D generate for target mockups in Phase 8a.5 — before fixing a
design finding, generate a mockup showing what it should look like.
Add $D verify in Phase 9 to compare fix results against targets.
Not plan mode — goes straight to implementation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: gstack designer AI mockups in /design-consultation Phase 5

Replace HTML preview with $D variants + comparison board when designer
is available (Path A). Use $D extract to derive DESIGN.md tokens from
the approved mockup. Handles both plan mode (write to plan) and
non-plan mode (implement immediately). Falls back to HTML preview
(Path B) when designer binary is unavailable.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: make gstack designer the default in /plan-design-review, not optional

The transcript showed the agent writing 5 text descriptions of homepage
variants instead of generating visual mockups, even when the user explicitly
asked for design tools. The skill treated mockups as optional ("Want me to
generate?") when they should be the default behavior.

Changes:
- Rename "Your Visual Design Tool" to "YOUR PRIMARY TOOL" with aggressive
  language: "Don't ask permission. Show it."
- Step 0.5 now generates mockups automatically when DESIGN_READY, no
  AskUserQuestion gatekeeping the default path
- Priority hierarchy: mockups are "non-negotiable" not "if available"
- Step 0D tells the user mockups are coming next
- DESIGN_NOT_AVAILABLE fallback now tells user what they're missing

The only valid reasons to skip mockups: no UI scope, or designer not
installed. Everything else generates by default.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: persist design mockups to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/

Mockups were going to .context/mockups/ (gitignored, workspace-local).
This meant designs disappeared when switching workspaces or conversations,
and downstream skills couldn't reference approved mockups from earlier
reviews.

Now all three design skills save to persistent project-scoped dirs:
- /plan-design-review: ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/<screen>-<date>/
- /design-consultation: ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/design-system-<date>/
- /design-review: ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/design-audit-<date>/

Each directory gets an approved.json recording the user's pick, feedback,
and branch. This lets /design-review verify against mockups that
/plan-design-review approved, and design history is browsable via
ls ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate codex ship skill with zsh glob guards

Picked up setopt +o nomatch guards from main's v0.12.8.1 merge.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add browse binary discovery to DESIGN_SETUP resolver

The design setup block now discovers $B alongside $D, so skills can
open comparison boards via $B goto and poll feedback via $B eval.
Falls back to `open` on macOS when browse binary is unavailable.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: comparison board DOM polling in plan-design-review

After opening the comparison board, the agent now polls
#status via $B eval instead of asking a rigid AskUserQuestion.
Handles submit (read structured JSON feedback), regenerate
(new variants with updated brief), and $B-unavailable fallback
(free-form text response). The user interacts with the real
board UI, not a constrained option picker.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: comparison board feedback loop integration test

16 tests covering the full DOM polling cycle: structure verification,
submit with pick/rating/comment, regenerate flows (totally different,
more like this, custom text), and the agent polling pattern
(empty → submitted → read JSON). Uses real generateCompareHtml()
from design/src/compare.ts, served via HTTP. Runs in <1s.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add $D serve command for HTTP-based comparison board feedback

The comparison board feedback loop was fundamentally broken: browse blocks
file:// URLs (url-validation.ts:71), so $B goto file://board.html always
fails. The fallback open + $B eval polls a different browser instance.

$D serve fixes this by serving the board over HTTP on localhost. The server
is stateful: stays alive across regeneration rounds, exposes /api/progress
for the board to poll, and accepts /api/reload from the agent to swap in
new board HTML. Stdout carries feedback JSON only; stderr carries telemetry.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: dual-mode feedback + post-submit lifecycle in comparison board

When __GSTACK_SERVER_URL is set (injected by $D serve), the board POSTs
feedback to the server instead of only writing to hidden DOM elements.
After submit: disables all inputs, shows "Return to your coding agent."
After regenerate: shows spinner, polls /api/progress, auto-refreshes on
ready. On POST failure: shows copyable JSON fallback. On progress timeout
(5 min): shows error with /design-shotgun prompt. DOM fallback preserved
for headed browser mode and tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: HTTP serve command endpoints and regeneration lifecycle

11 tests covering: HTML serving with injected server URL, /api/progress
state reporting, submit → done lifecycle, regenerate → regenerating state,
remix with remixSpec, malformed JSON rejection, /api/reload HTML swapping,
missing file validation, and full regenerate → reload → submit round-trip.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP resolver + fix design artifact paths

Adds generateDesignShotgunLoop() resolver for the shared comparison board
feedback loop (serve via HTTP, handle regenerate/remix, AskUserQuestion
fallback, feedback confirmation). Registered as {{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}}.

Fixes generateDesignMockup() to use ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/
instead of /tmp/ and docs/designs/. Replaces broken $B goto file:// +
$B eval polling with $D compare --serve (HTTP-based, stdout feedback).

Adds CRITICAL PATH RULE guardrail to DESIGN_SETUP: design artifacts must
go to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/, never .context/ or /tmp/.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add /design-shotgun standalone design exploration skill

New skill for visual brainstorming: generate AI design variants, open a
comparison board in the user's browser, collect structured feedback, and
iterate. Features: session detection (revisit prior explorations), 5-dimension
context gathering (who, job to be done, what exists, user flow, edge cases),
taste memory (prior approved designs bias new generations), inline variant
preview, configurable variant count, screenshot-to-variants via $D evolve.

Uses {{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}} resolver for the feedback loop. Saves all
artifacts to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for design-shotgun + resolver changes

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add remix UI to comparison board

Per-variant element selectors (Layout, Colors, Typography, Spacing) with
radio buttons in a grid. Remix button collects selections into a remixSpec
object and sends via the same HTTP POST feedback mechanism. Enabled only
when at least one element is selected. Board shows regenerating spinner
while agent generates the hybrid variant.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add $D gallery command for design history timeline

Generates a self-contained HTML page showing all prior design explorations
for a project: every variant (approved or not), feedback notes, organized
by date (newest first). Images embedded as base64. Handles corrupted
approved.json gracefully (skips, still shows the session). Empty state
shows "No history yet" with /design-shotgun prompt.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: gallery generation — sessions, dates, corruption, empty state

7 tests: empty dir, nonexistent dir, single session with approved variant,
multiple sessions sorted newest-first, corrupted approved.json handled
gracefully, session without approved.json, self-contained HTML (no
external dependencies).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: replace broken file:// polling with {{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}}

plan-design-review and design-consultation templates previously used
$B goto file:// + $B eval polling for the comparison board feedback loop.
This was broken (browse blocks file:// URLs). Both templates now use
{{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}} which serves via HTTP, handles regeneration in
the same browser tab, and falls back to AskUserQuestion.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add design-shotgun touchfile entries and tier classifications

design-shotgun-path (gate): verify artifacts go to ~/.gstack/, not .context/
design-shotgun-session (gate): verify repeat-run detection + AskUserQuestion
design-shotgun-full (periodic): full round-trip with real design binary

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for template refactor

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: comparison board UI improvements — option headers, pick confirmation, grid view

Three changes to the design comparison board:

1. Pick confirmation: selecting "Pick" on Option A shows "We'll move
   forward with Option A" in green, plus a status line above the submit
   button repeating the choice.

2. Clear option headers: each variant now has "Option A" in bold with a
   subtitle above the image, instead of just the raw image.

3. View toggle: top-right Large/Grid buttons switch between single-column
   (default) and 3-across grid view.

Also restructured the bottom section into a 2-column grid: submit/overall
feedback on the left, regenerate controls on the right.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost for serve URL

Avoids DNS resolution issues on some systems where localhost may resolve
to IPv6 ::1 while Bun listens on IPv4 only.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: write ALL feedback to disk so agent can poll in background mode

The agent backgrounds $D serve (Claude Code can't block on a subprocess
and do other work simultaneously). With stdout-only feedback delivery,
the agent never sees regenerate/remix feedback.

Fix: write feedback-pending.json (regenerate/remix) and feedback.json
(submit) to disk next to the board HTML. Agent polls the filesystem
instead of reading stdout. Both channels (stdout + disk) are always
active so foreground mode still works.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP uses file polling instead of stdout reading

Update the template resolver to instruct the agent to background $D serve
and poll for feedback-pending.json / feedback.json on a 5-second loop.
This matches the real-world pattern where Claude Code / Conductor agents
can't block on subprocess stdout.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for file-polling feedback loop

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: null-safe DOM selectors for post-submit and regenerating states

The user's layout restructure renamed .regenerate-bar → .regen-column,
.submit-bar → .submit-column, and .overall-section → .bottom-section.
The JS still referenced the old class names, causing querySelector to
return null and showPostSubmitState() / showRegeneratingState() to
silently crash. This meant Submit and Regenerate buttons appeared to
work (DOM elements updated, HTTP POST succeeded) but the visual
feedback (disabled inputs, spinner, success message) never appeared.

Fix: use fallback selectors that check both old and new class names,
with null guards so a missing element doesn't crash the function.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: end-to-end feedback roundtrip — browser click to file on disk

The test that proves "changes on the website propagate to Claude Code."
Opens the comparison board in a real headless browser with __GSTACK_SERVER_URL
injected, simulates user clicks (Submit, Regenerate, More Like This), and
verifies that feedback.json / feedback-pending.json land on disk with the
correct structured data.

6 tests covering: submit → feedback.json, post-submit UI lockdown,
regenerate → feedback-pending.json, more-like-this → feedback-pending.json,
regenerate spinner display, and full regen → reload → submit round-trip.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: comprehensive design doc for Design Shotgun feedback loop

Documents the full browser-to-agent feedback architecture: state machine,
file-based polling, port discovery, post-submit lifecycle, and every known
edge case (zombie forms, dead servers, stale spinners, file:// bug,
double-click races, port coordination, sequential generate rule).

Includes ASCII diagrams of the data flow and state transitions, complete
step-by-step walkthrough of happy path and regeneration path, test coverage
map with gaps, and short/medium/long-term improvement ideas.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: plan-design-review agent guardrails for feedback loop

Four fixes to prevent agents from reinventing the feedback loop badly:

1. Sequential generate rule: explicit instruction that $D generate calls
   must run one at a time (API rate-limits concurrent image generation).
2. No-AskUserQuestion-for-feedback rule: agent reads feedback.json instead
   of re-asking what the user picked.
3. Remove file:// references: $B goto file:// was always rejected by
   url-validation.ts. The --serve flag handles everything.
4. Remove $B eval polling reference: no longer needed with HTTP POST.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: design-shotgun Step 3 progressive reveal, silent failure detection, timing estimate

Three production UX bugs fixed:
1. Dead air — now shows timing estimate before generation starts
2. Silent variant drop — replaced $D variants batch with individual $D generate
   calls, each verified for existence and non-zero size with retry
3. No progressive reveal — each variant shown inline via Read tool immediately
   after generation (~60s increments instead of all at ~180s)

Also: /tmp/ then cp as default output pattern (sandbox workaround),
screenshot taken once for evolve path (not per-variant).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: parallel design-shotgun with concept-first confirmation

Step 3 rewritten to concept-first + parallel Agent architecture:
- 3a: generate text concepts (free, instant)
- 3b: AskUserQuestion to confirm/modify before spending API credits
- 3c: launch N Agent subagents in parallel (~60s total regardless of count)
- 3d: show all results, dynamic image list for comparison board

Adds Agent to allowed-tools. Softens plan-design-review sequential
warning to note design-shotgun uses parallel at Tier 2+.

dc5e0538e5 feat: worktree isolation for E2E tests + infrastructure elegance (v0.11.12.0) (#425)
* refactor: extract gen-skill-docs into modular resolver architecture

Break the 3000-line monolith into 10 domain modules under scripts/resolvers/:
types, constants, preamble, utility, browse, design, testing, review,
codex-helpers, and index. Each module owns one domain of template generation.

The preamble module introduces a 4-tier composition system (T1-T4) so skills
only pay for the preamble sections they actually need, reducing token usage
for lightweight skills by ~40%.

Adds a token budget dashboard that prints after every generation run showing
per-skill and total token counts.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: tiered preamble — skills only pay for what they use

Tag all 23 templates with preamble-tier (T1-T4). Lightweight skills
like /browse and /benchmark get a minimal preamble (~40% fewer tokens),
while review skills get the full stack. Regenerate all SKILL.md files.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: migrate eval storage to project-scoped paths

Move eval results and E2E run artifacts from ~/.gstack-dev/evals/ to
~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/evals/ so each project's eval history lives
alongside its other gstack data. Falls back to legacy path if slug
detection fails.

* feat: add WorktreeManager for isolated test environments

Reusable platform module (lib/worktree.ts) that creates git worktrees
for test isolation and harvests useful changes as patches. Includes
SHA-256 dedup, original SHA tracking for committed change detection,
and automatic gitignored artifact copying (.agents/, browse/dist/).

12 unit tests covering lifecycle, harvest, dedup, and error handling.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: integrate worktree isolation into E2E test infrastructure

Add createTestWorktree(), harvestAndCleanup(), and describeWithWorktree()
helpers to e2e-helpers.ts. Add harvest field to EvalTestEntry for
eval-store integration. Register lib/worktree.ts as a global touchfile.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: run Gemini and Codex E2E tests in worktrees

Switch both test suites from cwd: ROOT to worktree isolation.
Gemini (--yolo) no longer pollutes the working tree. Codex
(read-only) gets worktree for consistency. Useful changes are
harvested as patches for cherry-picking.

* fix: skip symlinks in copyDirSync to prevent infinite recursion

Adversarial review caught that .claude/skills/gstack may be a symlink
back to the repo root, causing copyDirSync to recurse infinitely
when copying gitignored artifacts into worktrees.

* fix: relax session-awareness assertion to accept structured options

The LLM consistently presents well-formatted A/B choices with pros/cons
but doesn't always use the exact string "RECOMMENDATION". Accept
case-insensitive "recommend", "option a", "which do you want", or
"which approach" as equivalent signals of a structured recommendation.

4cd4d11cb0 feat: design outside voices — cross-model design critique (v0.11.3.0) (#347)
* feat(gen-skill-docs): add design outside voices + hard rules resolvers

Add generateDesignOutsideVoices() — parallel Codex + Claude subagent
dispatch for cross-model design critique with litmus scorecard synthesis.
Branches per skillName (plan-design-review, design-review, design-consultation)
with task-specific reasoning effort (high for analytical, medium for creative).

Add generateDesignHardRules() — OpenAI Frontend Skill hard rules + gstack
AI slop blacklist unified into one shared block with classifier step
(landing page vs app UI vs hybrid).

Extract AI_SLOP_BLACKLIST constant from inline prose in generateDesignMethodology()
for DRY. Extend generateDesignReviewLite() with lightweight Codex block.
Extend generateDesignSketch() with outside voices opt-in after wireframe.

Source: OpenAI "Designing Delightful Frontends with GPT-5.4" (Mar 2026)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(design skills): add outside voices + hard rules to all design templates

Insert {{DESIGN_OUTSIDE_VOICES}} in plan-design-review (between Step 0D
and Pass 1), design-review (between Phase 6 and Phase 7), and
design-consultation (between Phase 2 and Phase 3).

Insert {{DESIGN_HARD_RULES}} in plan-design-review Pass 4 and design-review
Phase 3 checklist.

DESIGN_REVIEW_LITE in /ship and /review now includes a Codex design voice
block with litmus checks.

DESIGN_SKETCH in /office-hours now includes outside voices opt-in after
wireframe approval.

Regenerated all SKILL.md files (both Claude and Codex hosts).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add resolver tests + touchfiles for design outside voices

Add 18 test cases across 4 new describe blocks:
- DESIGN_OUTSIDE_VOICES: host guard, skillName branching, reasoning effort
- DESIGN_HARD_RULES: classifier, 3 rule sets, slop blacklist, OpenAI criteria
- DESIGN_SKETCH extended: outside voices step, original wireframe preserved
- DESIGN_REVIEW_LITE extended: Codex block, codex host exclusion

Update touchfiles: add scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts to design skill E2E
test dependencies for accurate diff-based test selection.

* fix: generate .agents/ on demand in tests (not checked in since v0.11.2.0)

.agents/ is gitignored since v0.11.2.0 — tests that read Codex-host
SKILL.md files now generate them on demand via `bun run gen-skill-docs.ts
--host codex` before reading. Fixes test failures on fresh clones.

8321115a4e feat: plan file review report + enriched JSONL logging (v0.9.7.0) (#303)
* feat: plan file review report — markdown table appended to plan files

Adds {{PLAN_FILE_REVIEW_REPORT}} template resolver that instructs review
skills to write a structured markdown table (with Trigger/Why/Status/Findings
columns) to the plan file itself, so review status is visible to anyone
reading the plan — not just in conversation output.

Integrated into plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review, plan-design-review, and
codex skill templates.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: enrich JSONL review logs for accurate plan file report

CEO reviews now log scope_proposed/accepted/deferred counts,
eng reviews log total issues_found, design reviews log initial_score
for before→after tracking, and codex reviews log findings_fixed.

Report generator references these fields directly instead of
requiring agents to reconstruct from partial data. Also fixes
footer replacement to handle mid-file sections robustly.

91bea06675 fix: plan mode exception for review log + telemetry writes (v0.9.0.1) (#234)
* fix: plan mode exception for review log + telemetry writes

Add explicit plan-mode exception notes to review log sections in all
3 plan review skill templates and the telemetry section in gen-skill-docs.ts.
When Claude runs in plan mode, it self-censors bash writes — but review
logging and telemetry write to ~/.gstack/ (user metadata, not project
files). The preamble already writes to the same directory successfully.
The exception note gives Claude a reasoning chain: safety argument,
precedent, and consequence of skipping.

* chore: regenerate Codex/agents SKILL.md files with plan-mode exception

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.9.0.1)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: community-first telemetry opt-in with anonymous fallback

Default opt-in is now "Help gstack get better!" (community mode with
stable device ID). If declined, offers anonymous mode as a softer
alternative before fully off.

cb203777f8 fix: atomic review log helpers + platform-agnostic templates (v0.8.5) (#209)
* fix: add gstack-review-log and gstack-review-read atomic helpers

Branch names with `/` break review log filepaths when Claude Code runs
multi-line bash blocks as separate shell invocations. These two scripts
encapsulate the full operation in a single command.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: replace multi-line eval+mkdir+echo blocks with atomic helpers

- Review log writes now use gstack-review-log (single command)
- Review dashboard reads now use gstack-review-read (single command)
- Remaining source+mkdir blocks use && chaining for variable persistence
- Regenerated all SKILL.md files

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: remove Rails-isms — platform-agnostic templates and checklist

- review/checklist.md: multi-framework examples (Rails/Node/Python/Django)
- plan-ceo-review: framework-agnostic grep + generic error table
- plan-eng-review: "corresponding test" not "JS or Rails test"
- CLAUDE.md: Platform-agnostic design principle + Testing section

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

c0f3c3a91a fix: security hardening + issue triage (v0.8.3) (#205)
* fix: check for bun before running setup (#147)

Users without bun installed got a cryptic "command not found" error.
Now prints a clear message with install instructions.

Closes #147

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: block SSRF via URL validation in browse commands (#17)

Adds validateNavigationUrl() that blocks non-HTTP(S) schemes (file://,
javascript:, data:) and cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254,
metadata.google.internal). Applied to goto, diff, and newTab commands.
Localhost and private IPs remain allowed for local dev QA.

Closes #17

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: replace eval $(gstack-slug) with source <(...) (#133)

Eliminates unnecessary use of eval across all skill templates and
generated files. source <(...) has identical behavior without the
shell injection surface. Also hardens gstack-diff-scope usage.

Closes #133

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: rename /debug to /investigate to avoid Claude Code conflict (#190)

Claude Code has a built-in /debug command that shadows the gstack skill.
Renaming to /investigate which better reflects the systematic root-cause
investigation methodology.

Closes #190

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

validateOutputPath() and validateReadPath() are security-critical
functions with zero test coverage. Adds 14 tests covering safe paths,

* fix: harden URL validation against hostname bypasses (Codex P1)

Codex review found that metadata IPs could be reached via hex
(0xA9FEA9FE), decimal (2852039166), octal, trailing dot, and IPv6
bracket forms. Now normalizes hostnames before checking the blocklist
and probes numeric IP representations via URL constructor.

Also moves URL validation before page allocation in newTab() to
prevent zombie tabs on rejection (Codex P3).

5 new test cases for bypass variants.

00cefcafb1 feat: review chaining + commit hash staleness tracking (v0.8.3) (#206)
* feat: review chaining + commit hash staleness tracking

Each plan review skill now suggests the next review via AskUserQuestion:
- CEO review → eng review (required gate) + design review (if UI scope)
- Design review → eng review + CEO review (if product gaps)
- Eng review → design review (if UI changes) + CEO review (soft suggestion)

Reviews now track HEAD commit hash in JSONL entries for deterministic
staleness detection. Dashboard compares stored hash against current HEAD
and reports drift. Respects skip_eng_review config in chaining logic.

Also adds commit tracking to design-review-lite entries.

4fe0ce9cba feat: natural language skill routing + proactive suggestions (v0.7.1) (#195)
* feat: add trigger phrases to /debug and /office-hours

These two skills had zero "Use when asked to..." phrases, making them
completely invisible to natural language. Users saying "debug this" or
"brainstorm an idea" would get no skill invocation.

* feat: add proactive triggers to all workflow skills

Every skill now has "Proactively suggest when..." language so Claude
surfaces skills at natural moments — not just when the user says
specific trigger phrases.

* feat: lifecycle map + proactive preference system

Root gstack description now includes a developer workflow guide mapping
12 stages to skills. Preamble reads proactive preference via gstack-config.
Users can opt out with "stop suggesting things" and re-enable with
"be proactive again" — natural language toggle, no CLI needed.

* test: 11 journey-stage E2E routing tests + trigger phrase validation

Each test simulates a real development stage (ideation, plan review,
debug, QA, ship, retro...) with realistic project context and verifies
the right skill fires from natural language alone. 11/11 pass.

Anthropic's skill best practices: "the description field is not a summary —
it's when to trigger." Add explicit "Use when asked to..." phrases to 12 skill
descriptions so Claude's auto-discovery works with natural language requests
like "deploy this" or "check my diff", not just explicit /slash-commands.

78c207efb4 feat: interactive /plan-design-review + CEO invokes designer + 100% coverage (v0.6.4) (#149)
* refactor: rename qa-design-review → design-review

The "qa-" prefix was confusing — this is the live-site design audit with
fix loop, not a QA-only report. Rename directory and update all references
across docs, tests, scripts, and skill templates.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: interactive /plan-design-review + CEO invokes designer

Rewrite /plan-design-review from report-only grading to an interactive
plan-fixer that rates each design dimension 0-10, explains what a 10
looks like, and edits the plan to get there. Parallel structure with
/plan-ceo-review and /plan-eng-review — one issue = one AskUserQuestion.

CEO review now detects UI scope and invokes the designer perspective
when the plan has frontend/UX work, so you get design review
automatically when it matters.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: validation + touchfile entries for 100% coverage

Add design-consultation to command/snapshot flag validation. Add 4
skills to contributor mode validation (plan-design-review,
design-review, design-consultation, document-release). Add 2 templates
to hardcoded branch check. Register touchfile entries for 10 new
LLM-judge tests and 1 new E2E test.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: LLM-judge for 10 skills + gstack-upgrade E2E

runWorkflowJudge helper with section marker guards. Add real E2E
test for gstack-upgrade using mock git remote (replaces test.todo).
Add plan-edit assertion to plan-design-review E2E.
