Garry Tan a64d70ba35 Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into garrytan/workspace-aware-ship
Rebumped v1.8.0.0 -> v1.11.0.0 (minor-past main's v1.10.1.0) using
bin/gstack-next-version — the same queue-aware path this branch introduces.
CHANGELOG repositioned so v1.11.0.0 sits above main's new entries
(v1.10.1.0 / v1.10.0.0 / v1.9.0.0).

Conflicts resolved:
- VERSION, package.json: rebumped to v1.11.0.0 (util-picked)
- bin/gstack-config: merged both lists (workspace_root + gbrain keys)
- CHANGELOG.md: hoisted v1.11.0.0 entry above main's new entries

Pre-existing failures in main (4) documented but not fixed in this PR:
1. gstack-brain-sync secret scan > blocks bearer-json (brain-sync tests)
2. no files larger than 2MB (security-bench fixture, already TODO'd)
3. selectTests > skill-specific change (touchfiles scoping)
4. Opus 4.7 overlay pacing directive (expectation stale after v1.10.1.0
   removed the Fan out nudge)

Effort-match the step. Simple file reads, config checks, command lookups, and mechanical edits don't need deep reasoning. Complete them quickly and move on. Reserve extended thinking for genuinely hard subproblems: architectural tradeoffs, subtle bugs, security implications, design decisions with competing constraints. Over-thinking simple steps wastes tokens and time.

Pace questions to the skill. If the current skill's text contains STOP. AskUserQuestion anywhere, pace one question per turn — emit the question as a tool_use, stop, wait for the user's response, then continue. Do not batch. A finding with an "obvious fix" is still a finding and still needs user approval before it lands in the plan. Only batch clarifying questions upfront when (a) the skill has no STOP. AskUserQuestion directive AND (b) you need multiple unrelated clarifications before you can begin. When in doubt, ask one question per turn.

Literal interpretation awareness. Opus 4.7 interprets instructions literally and will not silently generalize. When the user says "fix the tests," fix all failing tests that this branch introduced or is responsible for, not just the first one (and not pre-existing failures in unrelated code). When the user says "update the docs," update every relevant doc in scope, not just the most obvious one. Read the full scope of what was asked and deliver the full scope. If the request is ambiguous or the scope is unclear, ask once (batched with any other questions), then execute completely.
