fix: scale context meter to usable window respecting CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW (#2219)

The autocompact buffer percentage was hardcoded to 16.5%. Users who set
CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW to a custom token count (e.g. 400000 on
a 1M-context model) saw a miscalibrated context meter and incorrect
warning thresholds in the context-monitor hook (which reads used_pct from
the bridge file the statusline writes).

Now reads CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW from the hook env and computes:
  buffer_pct = acw_tokens / total_tokens * 100
Defaults to 16.5% when the var is absent or zero, preserving existing
behavior.

Also applies the renameDecimalPhases zero-padding fix for clean CI.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Fixed
+- **Shell hooks falsely flagged as stale on every session** — `gsd-phase-boundary.sh`, `gsd-session-state.sh`, and `gsd-validate-commit.sh` now ship with a `# gsd-hook-version: {{GSD_VERSION}}` header; the installer substitutes `{{GSD_VERSION}}` in `.sh` hooks the same way it does for `.js` hooks; and the stale-hook detector in `gsd-check-update.js` now matches bash `#` comment syntax in addition to JS `//` syntax. All three changes are required together — neither the regex fix alone nor the install fix alone is sufficient to resolve the false positive (#2136, #2206, #2209, #2210, #2212)
+
+## [1.36.0] - 2026-04-14
+

+- **Seed scanning in new-milestone** — Planted seeds are scanned during milestone step 2.5 for automatic surfacing (#2177)
+- **Artifact audit gate** — Open artifact auditing for milestone close and phase verify (#2157, #2158, #2160)
+- **`/gsd-quick` and `/gsd-thread` subcommands** — Added list/status/resume/close subcommands (#2159)
+- **Debug skill dispatch and session manager** — Sub-orchestrator for `/gsd-debug` sessions (#2154)
+- **Project skills awareness** — 9 GSD agents now discover and use project-scoped skills (#2152)
+- **`/gsd-debug` session management** — TDD gate, reasoning checkpoint, and security hardening (#2146)
+- **Context-window-aware prompt thinning** — Automatic prompt size reduction for sub-200K models (#1978)
+- **SDK `--ws` flag** — Workstream-aware execution support (#1884)

+- **Plan bounce hook** — Optional external refinement step (12.5) in plan-phase workflow
+- **Cursor CLI self-detection** — Cursor detection and REVIEWS.md template for `/gsd-review` (#1960)

+- **`/gsd-skill-manifest` command** — Pre-compute skill discovery for faster session starts (#2101)
+- **`--dry-run` mode and resolved blocker pruning** — State management improvements (#1970)
+- **State prune command** — Prune unbounded section growth in STATE.md (#1970)
+- **Global skills support** — Support `~/.claude/skills/` in `agent_skills` config (#1992)
+- **Context exhaustion auto-recording** — Hooks auto-record session state on context exhaustion (#1974)
+- **Metrics table pruning** — Auto-prune on phase complete for STATE.md metrics (#2087, #2120)
+- **Flow diagram directive for phase researcher** — Data-flow architecture diagrams enforced (#2139, #2147)
+
+### Changed
+- **Planner context-cost sizing** — Replaced time-based reasoning with context-cost sizing and multi-source coverage audit (#2091, #2092, #2114)
+- **`/gsd-next` prior-phase completeness scan** — Replaced consecutive-call counter with completeness scan (#2097)
+- **Inline execution for small plans** — Default to inline execution, skip subagent overhead for small plans (#1979)
+- **Prior-phase context optimization** — Limited to 3 most recent phases and includes `Depends on` phases (#1969)
+- **Non-technical owner adaptation** — `discuss-phase` adapts gray area language for non-technical owners via USER-PROFILE.md (#2125, #2173)
+- **Agent specs standardization** — Standardized `required_reading` patterns across agent specs (#2176)
+- **CI upgrades** — GitHub Actions upgraded to Node 22+ runtimes; release pipeline fixes (#2128, #1956)
+- **Branch cleanup workflow** — Auto-delete on merge + weekly sweep (#2051)
+- **PR #2179 maintainer review (Trek-e)** — Scoped SDK to Phase 2 (#2122): removed `gsd-sdk query` passthrough to `gsd-tools.cjs` and `GSD_TOOLS_PATH` override; argv routing consolidated in `resolveQueryArgv()`. `GSDTools` JSON parsing now reports `@file:` indirection read failures instead of failing opaquely. `execute-plan.md` defers Task Commit Protocol to `agents/gsd-executor.md` (single source of truth). Stale `/gsd:` scan (#1748) skips `.planning/` and root `CLAUDE.md` so local gitignored overlays do not fail CI.
+- **SDK query registry (PR #2179 review)** — Register `summary-extract` as an alias of `summary.extract` so workflows/agents match CJS naming. Correct `audit-fix.md` to call `audit-uat` instead of nonexistent `init.audit-uat`.
+- **`gsd-tools audit-open`** — Use `core.output()` (was undefined `output()`), and pass the artifact object for `--json` so stdout is JSON (not double-stringified).
+- **SDK query layer (PR review hardening)** — `commit-to-subrepo` uses realpath-aware path containment and sanitized commit messages; `state.planned-phase` uses the STATE.md lockfile; `verifyKeyLinks` mitigates ReDoS on frontmatter patterns; frontmatter handlers resolve paths under the real project root; phase directory names reject `..` and separators; `gsd-sdk` restores strict CLI parsing by stripping `--pick` before `parseArgs`; `QueryRegistry.commands()` for enumeration; `todoComplete` uses static error imports.
+- **`gsd-sdk query` routing (Phase 2 scope)** — `resolveQueryArgv()` maps argv to registered handlers (longest-prefix match on dotted and spaced command keys; optional single-token dotted split). Unregistered commands are rejected at the CLI; use `node …/gsd-tools.cjs` for CJS-only subcommands. `resolveGsdToolsPath()` probes the SDK-bundled copy, then project and user `~/.claude/get-shit-done/` installs (no `GSD_TOOLS_PATH` override). Broader “CLI parity” passthrough is explicitly out of scope for #2122 and tracked separately for a future approved issue.
+- **SDK query follow-up (tests, docs, registry)** — Expanded `QUERY_MUTATION_COMMANDS` for event emission; stale lock cleanup uses PID liveness (`process.kill(pid, 0)`) when a lock file exists; `searchJsonEntries` is depth-bounded (`MAX_JSON_SEARCH_DEPTH`); removed unnecessary `readdirSync`/`Dirent` casts across query handlers; added `sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md` (error vs `{ data.error }`, mutations, locks, intel limits); unit tests for intel, profile, uat, skills, summary, websearch, workstream, registry vs `QUERY_MUTATION_COMMANDS`, and frontmatter extract/splice round-trip.
+- **Phase 2 caller migration (#2122)** — Workflows, agents, and commands prefer `gsd-sdk query` for registered handlers; extended migration to additional orchestration call sites (review, plan-phase, execute-plan, ship, extract_learnings, ai-integration-phase, eval-review, next, profile-user, autonomous, thread command) and researcher agents; dual-path and CJS-only exceptions documented in `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md` and `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`; relaxed `tests/gsd-tools-path-refs.test.cjs` so `commands/gsd/workstreams.md` may document `gsd-sdk query` without `node` + `gsd-tools.cjs`. CJS `gsd-tools.cjs` remains on disk; graphify and other non-registry commands stay on CJS until registered. (#2008)
+- **Phase 2 docs and call sites (follow-up)** — `docs/USER-GUIDE.md` now explains `gsd-sdk query` vs legacy CJS and lists CJS-only commands (`state validate`/`sync`, `audit-open`, `graphify`, `from-gsd2`). Updated `commands/gsd` (`debug`, `quick`, `intel`), `agents/gsd-debug-session-manager.md`, and workflows (`milestone-summary`, `forensics`, `next`, `complete-milestone`, `verify-work`, `discuss-phase`, `progress`, `verify-phase`, `add-phase`/`insert-phase`/`remove-phase`, `transition`, `manager`, `quick`) for `gsd-sdk query` or explicit CJS exceptions (`audit-open`).
+- **Phase 2 orchestration doc pass (#2122)** — Aligned `commands/gsd` (`execute-phase`, `code-review`, `code-review-fix`, `from-gsd2`, `graphify`) and agents (`gsd-verifier`, `gsd-plan-checker`, `gsd-code-fixer`, `gsd-executor`, `gsd-planner`, researchers, debugger) so examples use `init.*` query names, correct `frontmatter.get` positional field, `state.*` positional args, and `commit` with positional file paths (not `--files`, except `commit-to-subrepo` which keeps `--files`).
+- **Phase 2 `commit` example sweep (#2122)** — Normalized `gsd-sdk query commit` usage across `get-shit-done/workflows/**/*.md`, `get-shit-done/references/**/*.md`, and `commands/gsd/**/*.md` so file paths follow the message positionally (SDK `commit` handler); `gsd-sdk query commit-to-subrepo … --files …` unchanged. Updated `get-shit-done/references/git-planning-commit.md` prose; adjusted workflow contract tests (`claude-md`, forensics, milestone-summary, gates taxonomy CRLF-safe `required_reading`, verifier `roadmap.analyze`) for the new examples.

+
+## Step 3: Handle Agent Return
+
+Inspect the return output for the structured return header.
+
+### 3a. ROOT CAUSE FOUND
+
+When agent returns `## ROOT CAUSE FOUND`:
+
+Extract `specialist_hint` from the return output.
+
+**Specialist dispatch** (when `specialist_dispatch_enabled` is true and `tdd_mode` is false):
+
+Map hint to skill:

+How would you like to proceed?
+1. Fix now — apply fix immediately
+2. Plan fix — use /gsd-plan-phase --gaps
+3. Manual fix — I'll handle it myself
+```
+
+If user selects "Fix now" (1): spawn continuation agent with `goal: find_and_fix` (see Step 2 format, pass `tdd_mode` if set). Loop back to Step 3.
+
+If user selects "Plan fix" (2) or "Manual fix" (3): proceed to Step 4 (compact summary, goal = not applied).

+Spawn continuation agent with `tdd_mode: true`. Loop back to Step 3.
+
+### 3b. TDD CHECKPOINT

+
+Confirm the test is red (failing before fix)?
+Reply "confirmed" to proceed with fix, or describe any issues.
+```
+
+On confirmation: spawn continuation agent with `tdd_phase: green`. Loop back to Step 3.
+
+### 3c. DEBUG COMPLETE
+

 Often you'll spot the bug mid-explanation: "Wait, I never verified that B returns what I think it does."
 
+## Delta Debugging
+
+**When:** Large change set is suspected (many commits, a big refactor, or a complex feature that broke something). Also when "comment out everything" is too slow.
+
+**How:** Binary search over the change space — not just the code, but the commits, configs, and inputs.
+
+**Over commits (use git bisect):**
+Already covered under Git Bisect. But delta debugging extends it: after finding the breaking commit, delta-debug the commit itself — identify which of its N changed files/lines actually causes the failure.
+
+**Over code (systematic elimination):**
+1. Identify the boundary: a known-good state (commit, config, input) vs the broken state
+2. List all differences between good and bad states
+3. Split the differences in half. Apply only half to the good state.
+4. If broken: bug is in the applied half. If not: bug is in the other half.
+5. Repeat until you have the minimal change set that causes the failure.
+
+**Over inputs:**
+1. Find a minimal input that triggers the bug (strip out unrelated data fields)
+2. The minimal input reveals which code path is exercised
+
+**When to use:**
+- "This worked yesterday, something changed" → delta debug commits
+- "Works with small data, fails with real data" → delta debug inputs
+- "Works without this config change, fails with it" → delta debug config diff
+
+**Example:** 40-file commit introduces bug
+```
+Split into two 20-file halves.
+Apply first 20: still works → bug in second half.
+Split second half into 10+10.
+Apply first 10: broken → bug in first 10.
+... 6 splits later: single file isolated.

+
+## Structured Reasoning Checkpoint
+
+**When:** Before proposing any fix. This is MANDATORY — not optional.
+
+**Purpose:** Forces articulation of the hypothesis and its evidence BEFORE changing code. Catches fixes that address symptoms instead of root causes. Also serves as the rubber duck — mid-articulation you often spot the flaw in your own reasoning.
+
+**Write this block to Current Focus BEFORE starting fix_and_verify:**
+
+```yaml
+reasoning_checkpoint:
+  hypothesis: "[exact statement — X causes Y because Z]"
+  confirming_evidence:
+    - "[specific evidence item 1 that supports this hypothesis]"
+    - "[specific evidence item 2]"
+  falsification_test: "[what specific observation would prove this hypothesis wrong]"
+  fix_rationale: "[why the proposed fix addresses the root cause — not just the symptom]"
+  blind_spots: "[what you haven't tested that could invalidate this hypothesis]"
+```
+
+**Check before proceeding:**
+- Is the hypothesis falsifiable? (Can you state what would disprove it?)
+- Is the confirming evidence direct observation, not inference?
+- Does the fix address the root cause or a symptom?
+- Have you documented your blind spots honestly?

+Spawned by `/gsd-plan-phase` orchestrator (between research and planning steps).
+
+**CRITICAL: Mandatory Initial Read**
+If the prompt contains a `<required_reading>` block, you MUST use the `Read` tool to load every file listed there before performing any other actions. This is your primary context.
+
+**Core responsibilities:**
+- Extract list of files to be created or modified from CONTEXT.md and RESEARCH.md
+- Classify each file by role (controller, component, service, model, middleware, utility, config, test) AND data flow (CRUD, streaming, file I/O, event-driven, request-response)
+- Search the codebase for the closest existing analog per file
+- Read each analog and extract concrete code excerpts (imports, auth patterns, core pattern, error handling)
+- Produce PATTERNS.md with per-file pattern assignments and code to copy from
+
+**Read-only constraint:** You MUST NOT modify any source code files. The only file you write is PATTERNS.md in the phase directory. All codebase interaction is read-only (Read, Bash, Glob, Grep). Never use `Bash(cat << 'EOF')` or heredoc commands for file creation — use the Write tool.
+</role>
+
+<project_context>
+Before analyzing patterns, discover project context:
+
+**Project instructions:** Read `./CLAUDE.md` if it exists in the working directory. Follow all project-specific guidelines, coding conventions, and architectural patterns.
+
+**Project skills:** Check `.claude/skills/` or `.agents/skills/` directory if either exists:
+1. List available skills (subdirectories)
+2. Read `SKILL.md` for each skill (lightweight index ~130 lines)
+3. Load specific `rules/*.md` files as needed during analysis

+</downstream_consumer>
+
+<execution_flow>
+
+## Step 1: Receive Scope and Load Context
+
+Orchestrator provides: phase number/name, phase directory, CONTEXT.md path, RESEARCH.md path.
+
+Read CONTEXT.md and RESEARCH.md to extract:
+1. **Explicit file list** — files mentioned by name in decisions or research
+2. **Implied files** — files inferred from features described (e.g., "user authentication" implies auth controller, middleware, model)
+
+## Step 2: Classify Files
+
+For each file to be created or modified:
+
+| Property | Values |
+|----------|--------|
+| **Role** | controller, component, service, model, middleware, utility, config, test, migration, route, hook, provider, store |
+| **Data Flow** | CRUD, streaming, file-I/O, event-driven, request-response, pub-sub, batch, transform |
+
+## Step 3: Find Closest Analogs
+
+For each classified file, search the codebase for the closest existing file that serves the same role and data flow pattern:
+
+```bash
+# Find files by role patterns
+Glob("**/controllers/**/*.{ts,js,py,go,rs}")
+Glob("**/services/**/*.{ts,js,py,go,rs}")
+Glob("**/components/**/*.{ts,tsx,jsx}")
+```
+
+```bash
+# Search for specific patterns
+Grep("class.*Controller", type: "ts")
+Grep("export.*function.*handler", type: "ts")
+Grep("router\.(get|post|put|delete)", type: "ts")
+```
+
+**Ranking criteria for analog selection:**
+1. Same role AND same data flow — best match
+2. Same role, different data flow — good match
+3. Different role, same data flow — partial match
+4. Most recently modified — prefer current patterns over legacy
+
+## Step 4: Extract Patterns from Analogs
+
+For each analog file, Read it and extract:
+
+| Pattern Category | What to Extract |
+|------------------|-----------------|
+| **Imports** | Import block showing project conventions (path aliases, barrel imports, etc.) |
+| **Auth/Guard** | Authentication/authorization pattern (middleware, decorators, guards) |
+| **Core Pattern** | The primary pattern (CRUD operations, event handlers, data transforms) |
+| **Error Handling** | Try/catch structure, error types, response formatting |
+| **Validation** | Input validation approach (schemas, decorators, manual checks) |
+| **Testing** | Test file structure if corresponding test exists |
+
+Extract as concrete code excerpts with file path and line numbers.
+
+## Step 5: Identify Shared Patterns
+
+Look for cross-cutting patterns that apply to multiple new files:
+- Authentication middleware/guards
+- Error handling wrappers
+- Logging patterns
+- Response formatting
+- Database connection/transaction patterns
+
+## Step 6: Write PATTERNS.md
+
+**ALWAYS use the Write tool** — never use `Bash(cat << 'EOF')` or heredoc commands for file creation.

+
+## Step 1.5: Architectural Responsibility Mapping
+
+Before diving into framework-specific research, map each capability in this phase to its standard architectural tier owner. This is a pure reasoning step — no tool calls needed.
+
+**For each capability in the phase description:**
+
+1. Identify what the capability does (e.g., "user authentication", "data visualization", "file upload")
+2. Determine which architectural tier owns the primary responsibility:
+
+| Tier | Examples |
+|------|----------|
+| **Browser / Client** | DOM manipulation, client-side routing, local storage, service workers |
+| **Frontend Server (SSR)** | Server-side rendering, hydration, middleware, auth cookies |
+| **API / Backend** | REST/GraphQL endpoints, business logic, auth, data validation |
+| **CDN / Static** | Static assets, edge caching, image optimization |
+| **Database / Storage** | Persistence, queries, migrations, caching layers |
+
+3. Record the mapping in a table:
+
+| Capability | Primary Tier | Secondary Tier | Rationale |
+|------------|-------------|----------------|-----------|
+| [capability] | [tier] | [tier or —] | [why this tier owns it] |
+
+**Output:** Include an `## Architectural Responsibility Map` section in RESEARCH.md immediately after the Summary section. This map is consumed by the planner for sanity-checking task assignments and by the plan-checker for verifying tier correctness.
+
+**Why this matters:** Multi-tier applications frequently have capabilities misassigned during planning — e.g., putting auth logic in the browser tier when it belongs in the API tier, or putting data fetching in the frontend server when the API already provides it. Mapping tier ownership before research prevents these misassignments from propagating into plans.

+## Dimension 12: Pattern Compliance (#1861)
+
+**Question:** Do plans reference the correct analog patterns from PATTERNS.md for each new/modified file?
+
+**Skip if:** No PATTERNS.md exists for this phase. Output: "Dimension 12: SKIPPED (no PATTERNS.md found)"
+
+**Process:**
+1. Read the phase's PATTERNS.md file
+2. For each file listed in the `## File Classification` table:
+   a. Find the corresponding PLAN.md that creates/modifies this file
+   b. Verify the plan's action section references the analog file from PATTERNS.md
+   c. Check that the plan's approach aligns with the extracted pattern (imports, auth, error handling)
+3. For files in `## No Analog Found`, verify the plan references RESEARCH.md patterns instead
+4. For `## Shared Patterns`, verify all applicable plans include the cross-cutting concern
+
+**Red flags:**
+- Plan creates a file listed in PATTERNS.md but does not reference the analog
+- Plan uses a different pattern than the one mapped in PATTERNS.md without justification
+- Shared pattern (auth, error handling) missing from a plan that creates a file it applies to
+- Plan references an analog that does not exist in the codebase
+
+**Example — pattern not referenced:**
+```yaml

+
+Project root: ${CWD}
+gsd-tools path: $HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Invoke graphify:**
+   Run from the project root:
+   ```
+   graphify . --update
+   ```
+   This builds the knowledge graph with SHA256 incremental caching.
+   Timeout: up to 5 minutes (or as configured via graphify.build_timeout).
+
+2. **Validate output:**
+   Check that graphify-out/graph.json exists and is valid JSON with nodes[] and edges[] arrays.
+   If graphify exited non-zero or graph.json is not parseable, output:
+   ## GRAPHIFY BUILD FAILED
+   Include the stderr output for debugging. Do NOT delete .planning/graphs/ -- prior valid graph remains available.
+
+3. **Copy artifacts to .planning/graphs/:**
+   ```
+   cp graphify-out/graph.json .planning/graphs/graph.json
+   cp graphify-out/graph.html .planning/graphs/graph.html
+   cp graphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.md .planning/graphs/GRAPH_REPORT.md
+   ```
+   These three files are the build output consumed by query, status, and diff commands.
+
+4. **Write diff snapshot:**
+   ```
+   node \"$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs\" graphify build snapshot
+   ```
+   This creates .planning/graphs/.last-build-snapshot.json for future diff comparisons.
+
+5. **Report build summary:**
+   ```
+   node \"$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs\" graphify status
+   ```
+   Display the node count, edge count, and hyperedge count from the status output.
+
+When complete, output: ## GRAPHIFY BUILD COMPLETE with the summary counts.
+If something fails at any step, output: ## GRAPHIFY BUILD FAILED with details."
+)
+```
+
+Wait for the agent to complete.
+
+---
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+1. DO NOT spawn an agent for query/status/diff operations -- these are inline CLI calls
+2. DO NOT modify graph files directly -- the build agent handles writes
+3. DO NOT skip the config gate check
+4. DO NOT use gsd-tools config get-value for the config gate -- it exits on missing keys

+## v1.36.0 Features
+
+### 108. Plan Bounce
+
+**Command:** `/gsd-plan-phase N --bounce`
+
+**Purpose:** After plans pass the checker, optionally refine them through an external script (a second AI, a linter, a custom validator). The bounce step backs up each plan, runs the script, validates YAML frontmatter integrity on the result, re-runs the plan checker, and restores the original if anything fails.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-BOUNCE-01: `--bounce` flag or `workflow.plan_bounce: true` activates the step; `--skip-bounce` always disables it
+- REQ-BOUNCE-02: `workflow.plan_bounce_script` must point to a valid executable; missing script produces a warning and skips
+- REQ-BOUNCE-03: Each plan is backed up to `*-PLAN.pre-bounce.md` before the script runs
+- REQ-BOUNCE-04: Bounced plans with broken YAML frontmatter or that fail the plan checker are restored from backup
+- REQ-BOUNCE-05: `workflow.plan_bounce_passes` (default: 2) controls how many refinement passes the script receives
+
+**Configuration:** `workflow.plan_bounce`, `workflow.plan_bounce_script`, `workflow.plan_bounce_passes`
+
+---
+
+### 109. External Code Review Command
+
+**Command:** `/gsd-ship` (enhanced)
+
+**Purpose:** Before the manual review step in `/gsd-ship`, automatically run an external code review command if configured. The command receives the diff and phase context via stdin and returns a JSON verdict (`APPROVED` or `REVISE`). Falls through to the existing manual review flow regardless of outcome.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-EXTREVIEW-01: `workflow.code_review_command` must be set to a command string; null means skip
+- REQ-EXTREVIEW-02: Diff is generated against `BASE_BRANCH` with `--stat` summary included
+- REQ-EXTREVIEW-03: Review prompt is piped via stdin (never shell-interpolated)
+- REQ-EXTREVIEW-04: 120-second timeout; stderr captured on failure
+- REQ-EXTREVIEW-05: JSON output parsed for `verdict`, `confidence`, `summary`, `issues` fields
+
+**Configuration:** `workflow.code_review_command`
+
+---
+
+### 110. Cross-AI Execution Delegation
+
+**Command:** `/gsd-execute-phase N --cross-ai`
+
+**Purpose:** Delegate individual plans to an external AI runtime for execution. Plans with `cross_ai: true` in their frontmatter (or all plans when `--cross-ai` is used) are sent to the configured command via stdin. Successfully handled plans are removed from the normal executor queue.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-CROSSAI-01: `--cross-ai` forces all plans through cross-AI; `--no-cross-ai` disables it
+- REQ-CROSSAI-02: `workflow.cross_ai_execution: true` and plan frontmatter `cross_ai: true` required for per-plan activation
+- REQ-CROSSAI-03: Task prompt is piped via stdin to prevent injection
+- REQ-CROSSAI-04: Dirty working tree produces a warning before execution
+- REQ-CROSSAI-05: On failure, user chooses: retry, skip (fall back to normal executor), or abort
+
+**Configuration:** `workflow.cross_ai_execution`, `workflow.cross_ai_command`, `workflow.cross_ai_timeout`
+
+---
+
+### 111. Architectural Responsibility Mapping
+
+**Command:** `/gsd-plan-phase` (enhanced research step)
+
+**Purpose:** During phase research, the phase-researcher now maps each capability to its architectural tier owner (browser, frontend server, API, CDN/static, database). The planner cross-references tasks against this map, and the plan-checker enforces tier compliance as Dimension 7c.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-ARM-01: Phase researcher produces an Architectural Responsibility Map table in RESEARCH.md (Step 1.5)
+- REQ-ARM-02: Planner sanity-checks task-to-tier assignments against the map
+- REQ-ARM-03: Plan checker validates tier compliance as Dimension 7c (WARNING for general mismatches, BLOCKER for security-sensitive ones)
+
+**Produces:** `## Architectural Responsibility Map` section in `{phase}-RESEARCH.md`
+
+---
+
+### 112. Extract Learnings
+
+**Command:** `/gsd-extract-learnings N`
+
+**Purpose:** Extract structured knowledge from completed phase artifacts. Reads PLAN.md and SUMMARY.md (required) plus VERIFICATION.md, UAT.md, and STATE.md (optional) to produce four categories of learnings: decisions, lessons, patterns, and surprises. Optionally captures each item to an external knowledge base via `capture_thought` tool.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-LEARN-01: Requires PLAN.md and SUMMARY.md; exits with clear error if missing
+- REQ-LEARN-02: Each extracted item includes source attribution (artifact and section)
+- REQ-LEARN-03: If `capture_thought` tool is available, captures items with `source`, `project`, and `phase` metadata
+- REQ-LEARN-04: If `capture_thought` is unavailable, completes successfully and logs that external capture was skipped
+- REQ-LEARN-05: Running twice overwrites the previous `LEARNINGS.md`
+
+**Produces:** `{phase}-LEARNINGS.md` with YAML frontmatter (phase, project, counts per category, missing_artifacts)
+
+---
+
+### 113. SDK Workstream Support
+
+**Command:** `gsd-sdk init @prd.md --ws my-workstream`
+
+**Purpose:** Route all SDK `.planning/` paths to `.planning/workstreams/<name>/`, enabling multi-workstream projects without "Project already exists" errors. The `--ws` flag validates the workstream name and propagates to all subsystems (tools, config, context engine).
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-WS-01: `--ws <name>` routes all `.planning/` paths to `.planning/workstreams/<name>/`
+- REQ-WS-02: Without `--ws`, behavior is unchanged (flat mode)
+- REQ-WS-03: Name validated to alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores, and dots only
+- REQ-WS-04: Config resolves from workstream path first, falls back to root `.planning/config.json`
+
+---
+
+### 114. Context-Window-Aware Prompt Thinning
+
+**Purpose:** Reduce static prompt overhead by ~40% for models with context windows under 200K tokens. Extended examples and anti-pattern lists are extracted from agent definitions into reference files loaded on demand via `@` required_reading.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-THIN-01: When `CONTEXT_WINDOW < 200000`, executor and planner agent prompts omit inline examples
+- REQ-THIN-02: Extracted content lives in `references/executor-examples.md` and `references/planner-antipatterns.md`
+- REQ-THIN-03: Standard (200K-500K) and enriched (500K+) tiers are unaffected
+- REQ-THIN-04: Core rules and decision logic remain inline; only verbose examples are extracted
+
+**Reference files:** `executor-examples.md`, `planner-antipatterns.md`
+
+---
+
+### 115. Configurable CLAUDE.md Path
+
+**Purpose:** Allow projects to store their CLAUDE.md in a non-root location. The `claude_md_path` config key controls where `/gsd-profile-user` and related commands write the generated CLAUDE.md file.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-CMDPATH-01: `claude_md_path` defaults to `./CLAUDE.md`
+- REQ-CMDPATH-02: Profile generation commands read the path from config and write to the specified location
+- REQ-CMDPATH-03: Relative paths are resolved from the project root
+
+**Configuration:** `claude_md_path`
+
+---
+
+### 116. TDD Pipeline Mode
+
+**Purpose:** Opt-in TDD (red-green-refactor) as a first-class phase execution mode. When enabled, the planner aggressively selects `type: tdd` for eligible tasks and the executor enforces RED/GREEN/REFACTOR gate sequence with fail-fast on unexpected GREEN before RED.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-TDD-01: `workflow.tdd_mode` config key (boolean, default `false`)
+- REQ-TDD-02: When enabled, planner applies TDD heuristics from `references/tdd.md` to all eligible tasks (business logic, APIs, validations, algorithms, state machines)
+- REQ-TDD-03: Executor enforces gate sequence for `type: tdd` plans — RED commit (`test(...)`) must precede GREEN commit (`feat(...)`)
+- REQ-TDD-04: Executor fails fast if tests pass unexpectedly during RED phase (feature already exists or test is wrong)
+- REQ-TDD-05: End-of-phase collaborative review checkpoint verifies gate compliance across all TDD plans (advisory, non-blocking)
+- REQ-TDD-06: Gate violations surfaced in SUMMARY.md under `## TDD Gate Compliance` section
+
+**Configuration:** `workflow.tdd_mode`
+**Reference files:** `tdd.md`, `checkpoints.md`

+### Executor Subagent Gets "Permission denied" on Bash Commands
+
+GSD's `gsd-executor` subagents need write-capable Bash access to a project's standard tooling — `git commit`, `bin/rails`, `bundle exec`, `npm run`, `uv run`, and similar commands. Claude Code's default `~/.claude/settings.json` only allows a narrow set of read-only git commands, so a fresh install will hit "Permission to use Bash has been denied" the first time an executor tries to make a commit or run a build tool.
+
+**Fix: add the required patterns to `~/.claude/settings.json`.**
+
+The patterns you need depend on your stack. Copy the block for your stack and add it to the `permissions.allow` array.
+
+#### Required for all stacks (git + gh)

+      "Bash(bundle:*)",
+      "Bash(rubocop:*)"
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Per-project permissions (scoped to one repo):** If you prefer to allow these patterns for a single project rather than globally, add the same `permissions.allow` block to `.claude/settings.local.json` in your project root instead of `~/.claude/settings.json`. Claude Code checks project-local settings first.
+
+**Interactive guidance:** When an executor is blocked mid-phase, it will identify the exact pattern needed (e.g. `"Bash(bin/rails:*)"`) so you can add it and re-run `/gsd-execute-phase`.
+
 ### Subagent Appears to Fail but Work Was Done
 
 A known workaround exists for a Claude Code classification bug. GSD's orchestrators (execute-phase, quick) spot-check actual output before reporting failure. If you see a failure message but commits were made, check `git log` -- the work may have succeeded.

+# GSD SDK query migration (summary blurb)
+
+Copy-paste friendly for Discord and GitHub comments.
+
+---
+
+**@gsd-build/sdk** replaces the untyped, monolithic `gsd-tools.cjs` subprocess with a typed, tested, registry-based query system and **`gsd-sdk query`**, giving GSD structured results, classified errors (`GSDQueryError`), and golden-verified parity with the old CLI. That gives the framework one stable contract instead of a fragile, very large CLI that every workflow had to spawn and parse by hand.
+
+**What users can expect**
+
+- Same GSD commands and workflows they already use.
+- Snappier runs (less Node startup on chained tool calls).
+- Fewer mysterious mid-workflow failures and safer upgrades, because behavior is covered by tests and a single stable contract.
+- Stronger predictability: outputs and failure modes are consistent and explicit.
+
+**Cost and tokens**
+
+The SDK does not automatically reduce LLM tokens per model call. Savings show up indirectly: fewer ambiguous tool results and fewer retry or recovery loops, which often lowers real-world session cost and wall time.
+
+**Agents then vs now**
+
+Agents always followed workflow instructions. What improved is the surface those steps run on. Before, workflows effectively said to shell out to `gsd-tools.cjs` and interpret stdout or JSON with brittle assumptions. Now they point at **`gsd-sdk query`** and typed handlers that return the shapes prompts expect, with clearer error reasons when something must stop or be fixed, so instruction following holds end to end with less thrash from bad parses or silent output drift.

+These roots are used for managed runtime installs and inventory reporting.
+
+### Deprecated Import-Only Root
+
+- `~/.claude/get-shit-done/skills/`
+
+This root is kept for legacy migration only. Inventory code may report it, but new installs should not write here.
+
+### Legacy Claude Commands
+
+- `~/.claude/commands/gsd/`
+
+This is not a skills root. Discovery code only checks whether it exists so inventory can report legacy Claude installs.
+
+## Normalization Rules
+
+- Scan only subdirectories that contain `SKILL.md`.
+- Read `name` and `description` from YAML frontmatter.
+- Use the directory name when `name` is missing.
+- Extract trigger hints from body lines that match `TRIGGER when: ...`.
+- Treat `gsd-*` directories as installed framework skills.
+- Treat `~/.claude/get-shit-done/skills/` entries as deprecated/import-only.
+- Treat `~/.claude/commands/gsd/` as legacy command installation metadata, not skills.
+
+## Scanner Behavior
+
+### `sdk/src/query/skills.ts`
+
+- Returns a de-duplicated list of discovered skill names.
+- Scans project roots plus managed global roots.
+- Does not scan the deprecated import-only root.
+
+### `get-shit-done/bin/lib/profile-output.cjs`
+
+- Builds the project `CLAUDE.md` skills section.
+- Scans project roots only.
+- Skips `gsd-*` directories so the project section stays focused on user/project skills.
+- Adds `.codex/skills/` to the project discovery set.
+
+### `get-shit-done/bin/lib/init.cjs`
+
+- Generates the skill inventory object for `skill-manifest`.
+- Reports `skills`, `roots`, `installation`, and `counts`.
+- Marks `gsd_skills_installed` when any discovered skill name starts with `gsd-`.
+- Marks `legacy_claude_commands_installed` when `~/.claude/commands/gsd/` contains `.md` command files.
+
+## Inventory Shape
+
+`skill-manifest` returns a JSON object with:
+
+- `skills`: normalized skill entries
+- `roots`: the canonical roots that were checked
+- `installation`: summary booleans for installed GSD skills and legacy Claude commands
+- `counts`: small inventory counts for downstream consumers
+
+Each skill entry includes:
+
+- `name`
+- `description`
+- `triggers`
+- `path`
+- `file_path`
+- `root`
+- `scope`
+- `installed`
+- `deprecated`
+

+# Smart Discuss — Autonomous Mode
+
+Smart discuss is the autonomous-optimized variant of `gsd-discuss-phase`. It proposes grey area answers in batch tables — the user accepts or overrides per area — then writes an identical CONTEXT.md to what discuss-phase produces.
+
+**Inputs:** `PHASE_NUM` from execute_phase. Run init to get phase paths:
+
+```bash
+PHASE_STATE=$(gsd-sdk query init.phase-op ${PHASE_NUM})
+```
+
+Parse from JSON: `phase_dir`, `phase_slug`, `padded_phase`, `phase_name`.
+
+---
+
+## Sub-step 1: Load prior context
+
+Read project-level and prior phase context to avoid re-asking decided questions.
+
+**Read project files:**
+
+```bash
+cat .planning/PROJECT.md 2>/dev/null || true
+cat .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md 2>/dev/null || true
+cat .planning/STATE.md 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+Extract from these:
+- **PROJECT.md** — Vision, principles, non-negotiables, user preferences
+- **REQUIREMENTS.md** — Acceptance criteria, constraints, must-haves vs nice-to-haves
+- **STATE.md** — Current progress, decisions logged so far
+
+**Read all prior CONTEXT.md files:**
+
+```bash
+(find .planning/phases -name "*-CONTEXT.md" 2>/dev/null || true) | sort
+```
+
+For each CONTEXT.md where phase number < current phase:
+- Read the `<decisions>` section — these are locked preferences
+- Read `<specifics>` — particular references or "I want it like X" moments
+- Note patterns (e.g., "user consistently prefers minimal UI", "user rejected verbose output")
+
+**Build internal prior_decisions context** (do not write to file):
+
+```
+<prior_decisions>
+## Project-Level
+- [Key principle or constraint from PROJECT.md]
+- [Requirement affecting this phase from REQUIREMENTS.md]
+
+## From Prior Phases
+### Phase N: [Name]
+- [Decision relevant to current phase]
+- [Preference that establishes a pattern]
+</prior_decisions>
+```
+
+If no prior context exists, continue without — expected for early phases.
+
+---
+
+## Sub-step 2: Scout Codebase
+
+Lightweight codebase scan to inform grey area identification and proposals. Keep under ~5% context.
+
+**Check for existing codebase maps:**
+
+```bash
+ls .planning/codebase/*.md 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+**If codebase maps exist:** Read the most relevant ones (CONVENTIONS.md, STRUCTURE.md, STACK.md based on phase type). Extract reusable components, established patterns, integration points. Skip to building context below.
+
+**If no codebase maps, do targeted grep:**
+
+Extract key terms from the phase goal. Search for related files:
+
+```bash
+grep -rl "{term1}\|{term2}" src/ app/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.js" --include="*.jsx" 2>/dev/null | head -10 || true
+ls src/components/ src/hooks/ src/lib/ src/utils/ 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+Read the 3-5 most relevant files to understand existing patterns.
+
+**Build internal codebase_context** (do not write to file):
+- **Reusable assets** — existing components, hooks, utilities usable in this phase
+- **Established patterns** — how the codebase does state management, styling, data fetching
+- **Integration points** — where new code connects (routes, nav, providers)
+
+---
+
+## Sub-step 3: Analyze Phase and Generate Proposals
+
+**Get phase details:**
+
+```bash
+DETAIL=$(gsd-sdk query roadmap.get-phase ${PHASE_NUM})
+```
+
+Extract `goal`, `requirements`, `success_criteria` from the JSON response.
+
+**Infrastructure detection — check FIRST before generating grey areas:**
+
+A phase is pure infrastructure when ALL of these are true:
+1. Goal keywords match: "scaffolding", "plumbing", "setup", "configuration", "migration", "refactor", "rename", "restructure", "upgrade", "infrastructure"
+2. AND success criteria are all technical: "file exists", "test passes", "config valid", "command runs"
+3. AND no user-facing behavior is described (no "users can", "displays", "shows", "presents")
+
+**If infrastructure-only:** Skip Sub-step 4. Jump directly to Sub-step 5 with minimal CONTEXT.md. Display:
+
+```
+Phase ${PHASE_NUM}: Infrastructure phase — skipping discuss, writing minimal context.
+```
+
+Use these defaults for the CONTEXT.md:
+- `<domain>`: Phase boundary from ROADMAP goal
+- `<decisions>`: Single "### Claude's Discretion" subsection — "All implementation choices are at Claude's discretion — pure infrastructure phase"
+- `<code_context>`: Whatever the codebase scout found
+- `<specifics>`: "No specific requirements — infrastructure phase"
+- `<deferred>`: "None"
+
+**If NOT infrastructure — generate grey area proposals:**
+
+Determine domain type from the phase goal:
+- Something users **SEE** → visual: layout, interactions, states, density
+- Something users **CALL** → interface: contracts, responses, errors, auth
+- Something users **RUN** → execution: invocation, output, behavior modes, flags
+- Something users **READ** → content: structure, tone, depth, flow
+- Something being **ORGANIZED** → organization: criteria, grouping, exceptions, naming
+
+Check prior_decisions — skip grey areas already decided in prior phases.
+
+Generate **3-4 grey areas** with **~4 questions each**. For each question:
+- **Pre-select a recommended answer** based on: prior decisions (consistency), codebase patterns (reuse), domain conventions (standard approaches), ROADMAP success criteria
+- Generate **1-2 alternatives** per question
+- **Annotate** with prior decision context ("You decided X in Phase N") and code context ("Component Y exists with Z variants") where relevant
+
+---
+
+## Sub-step 4: Present Proposals Per Area
+
+Present grey areas **one at a time**. For each area (M of N):
+
+Display a table:
+
+```
+### Grey Area {M}/{N}: {Area Name}
+
+| # | Question | ✅ Recommended | Alternative(s) |
+|---|----------|---------------|-----------------|
+| 1 | {question} | {answer} — {rationale} | {alt1}; {alt2} |
+| 2 | {question} | {answer} — {rationale} | {alt1} |
+| 3 | {question} | {answer} — {rationale} | {alt1}; {alt2} |
+| 4 | {question} | {answer} — {rationale} | {alt1} |
+```
+
+Then prompt the user via **AskUserQuestion**:
+- **header:** "Area {M}/{N}"
+- **question:** "Accept these answers for {Area Name}?"
+- **options:** Build dynamically — always "Accept all" first, then "Change Q1" through "Change QN" for each question (up to 4), then "Discuss deeper" last. Cap at 6 explicit options max (AskUserQuestion adds "Other" automatically).
+
+**On "Accept all":** Record all recommended answers for this area. Move to next area.
+
+**On "Change QN":** Use AskUserQuestion with the alternatives for that specific question:
+- **header:** "{Area Name}"
+- **question:** "Q{N}: {question text}"
+- **options:** List the 1-2 alternatives plus "You decide" (maps to Claude's Discretion)
+
+Record the user's choice. Re-display the updated table with the change reflected. Re-present the full acceptance prompt so the user can make additional changes or accept.
+
+**On "Discuss deeper":** Switch to interactive mode for this area only — ask questions one at a time using AskUserQuestion with 2-3 concrete options per question plus "You decide". After 4 questions, prompt:
+- **header:** "{Area Name}"
+- **question:** "More questions about {area name}, or move to next?"
+- **options:** "More questions" / "Next area"
+
+If "More questions", ask 4 more. If "Next area", display final summary table of captured answers for this area and move on.
+
+**On "Other" (free text):** Interpret as either a specific change request or general feedback. Incorporate into the area's decisions, re-display updated table, re-present acceptance prompt.
+
+**Scope creep handling:** If user mentions something outside the phase domain:
+
+```
+"{Feature} sounds like a new capability — that belongs in its own phase.
+I'll note it as a deferred idea.
+
+Back to {current area}: {return to current question}"
+```
+
+Track deferred ideas internally for inclusion in CONTEXT.md.
+
+---
+
+## Sub-step 5: Write CONTEXT.md
+
+After all areas are resolved (or infrastructure skip), write the CONTEXT.md file.
+
+**File path:** `${phase_dir}/${padded_phase}-CONTEXT.md`
+
+Use **exactly** this structure (identical to discuss-phase output):
+
+```markdown
+# Phase {PHASE_NUM}: {Phase Name} - Context
+
+**Gathered:** {date}
+**Status:** Ready for planning
+

+
+Write the file.

+
+## Deviation Rule Examples
+
+### Rule 1 — Auto-fix bugs
+
+**Examples of Rule 1 triggers:**
+- Wrong queries returning incorrect data
+- Logic errors in conditionals
+- Type errors and type mismatches
+- Null pointer exceptions / undefined access
+- Broken validation (accepts invalid input)
+- Security vulnerabilities (XSS, SQL injection)
+- Race conditions in async code
+- Memory leaks from uncleaned resources
+
+### Rule 2 — Auto-add missing critical functionality
+
+**Examples of Rule 2 triggers:**
+- Missing error handling (unhandled promise rejections, no try/catch on I/O)
+- No input validation on user-facing endpoints
+- Missing null checks before property access
+- No auth on protected routes
+- Missing authorization checks (user can access other users' data)
+- No CSRF/CORS configuration
+- No rate limiting on public endpoints
+- Missing DB indexes on frequently queried columns
+- No error logging (failures silently swallowed)
+
+### Rule 3 — Auto-fix blocking issues
+
+**Examples of Rule 3 triggers:**
+- Missing dependency not in package.json
+- Wrong types preventing compilation
+- Broken imports (wrong path, wrong export name)
+- Missing env var required at runtime
+- DB connection error (wrong URL, missing credentials)
+- Build config error (wrong entry point, missing loader)
+- Missing referenced file (import points to non-existent module)
+- Circular dependency preventing module load
+
+### Rule 4 — Ask about architectural changes
+
+**Examples of Rule 4 triggers:**
+- New DB table (not just adding a column)
+- Major schema changes (renaming tables, changing relationships)
+- New service layer (adding a queue, cache, or message bus)
+- Switching libraries/frameworks (e.g., replacing Express with Fastify)
+- Changing auth approach (switching from session to JWT)
+- New infrastructure (adding Redis, S3, etc.)
+- Breaking API changes (removing or renaming endpoints)
+
+## Edge Case Decision Guide
+
+| Scenario | Rule | Rationale |
+|----------|------|-----------|
+| Missing validation on input | Rule 2 | Security requirement |
+| Crashes on null input | Rule 1 | Bug — incorrect behavior |
+| Need new database table | Rule 4 | Architectural decision |
+| Need new column on existing table | Rule 1 or 2 | Depends on context |
+| Pre-existing linting warnings | Out of scope | Not caused by current task |
+| Unrelated test failures | Out of scope | Not caused by current task |
+
+**Decision heuristic:** "Does this affect correctness, security, or ability to complete the current task?"
+- YES → Rules 1-3 (fix automatically)
+- MAYBE → Rule 4 (ask the user)
+- NO → Out of scope (log to deferred-items.md)
+
+## Checkpoint Examples
+
+### Good checkpoint placement
+
+```xml
+<!-- Automate everything, then verify at the end -->
+<task type="auto">Create database schema</task>
+<task type="auto">Create API endpoints</task>
+<task type="auto">Create UI components</task>
+<task type="checkpoint:human-verify">
+  <what-built>Complete auth flow (schema + API + UI)</what-built>
+  <how-to-verify>
+    1. Visit http://localhost:3000/register
+    2. Create account with test@example.com
+    3. Log in with those credentials
+    4. Verify dashboard loads with user name
+  </how-to-verify>
+</task>
+```
+
+### Bad checkpoint placement
+
+```xml
+<!-- Too many checkpoints — causes verification fatigue -->
+<task type="auto">Create schema</task>
+<task type="checkpoint:human-verify">Check schema</task>
+<task type="auto">Create API</task>
+<task type="checkpoint:human-verify">Check API</task>
+<task type="auto">Create UI</task>
+<task type="checkpoint:human-verify">Check UI</task>
+```
+
+### Auth gate handling
+
+When an auth error occurs during `type="auto"` execution:
+1. Recognize it as an auth gate (not a bug) — indicators: "Not authenticated", "401", "403", "Please run X login"
+2. STOP the current task
+3. Return a `checkpoint:human-action` with exact auth steps
+4. In SUMMARY.md, document auth gates as normal flow, not deviations

+
+## Checkpoint Anti-Patterns
+
+### Bad — Asking human to automate
+
+```xml
+<task type="checkpoint:human-action">
+  <action>Deploy to Vercel</action>
+  <instructions>Visit vercel.com, import repo, click deploy...</instructions>
+</task>
+```
+
+**Why bad:** Vercel has a CLI. Claude should run `vercel --yes`. Never ask the user to do what Claude can automate via CLI/API.
+
+### Bad — Too many checkpoints
+
+```xml
+<task type="auto">Create schema</task>
+<task type="checkpoint:human-verify">Check schema</task>
+<task type="auto">Create API</task>
+<task type="checkpoint:human-verify">Check API</task>
+```
+
+**Why bad:** Verification fatigue. Users should not be asked to verify every small step. Combine into one checkpoint at the end of meaningful work.
+
+### Good — Single verification checkpoint
+
+```xml
+<task type="auto">Create schema</task>
+<task type="auto">Create API</task>
+<task type="auto">Create UI</task>
+<task type="checkpoint:human-verify">
+  <what-built>Complete auth flow (schema + API + UI)</what-built>
+  <how-to-verify>Test full flow: register, login, access protected page</how-to-verify>
+</task>
+```
+
+### Bad — Mixing checkpoints with implementation
+
+A plan should not interleave multiple checkpoint types with implementation tasks. Checkpoints belong at natural verification boundaries, not scattered throughout.
+
+## Specificity Examples
+
+| TOO VAGUE | JUST RIGHT |
+|-----------|------------|
+| "Add authentication" | "Add JWT auth with refresh rotation using jose library, store in httpOnly cookie, 15min access / 7day refresh" |
+| "Create the API" | "Create POST /api/projects endpoint accepting {name, description}, validates name length 3-50 chars, returns 201 with project object" |
+| "Style the dashboard" | "Add Tailwind classes to Dashboard.tsx: grid layout (3 cols on lg, 1 on mobile), card shadows, hover states on action buttons" |
+| "Handle errors" | "Wrap API calls in try/catch, return {error: string} on 4xx/5xx, show toast via sonner on client" |
+| "Set up the database" | "Add User and Project models to schema.prisma with UUID ids, email unique constraint, createdAt/updatedAt timestamps, run prisma db push" |
+
+**Specificity test:** Could a different Claude instance execute the task without asking clarifying questions? If not, add more detail.
+
+## Context Section Anti-Patterns
+
+### Bad — Reflexive SUMMARY chaining
+
+```markdown
+<context>
+@.planning/phases/01-foundation/01-01-SUMMARY.md
+@.planning/phases/01-foundation/01-02-SUMMARY.md  <!-- Does Plan 02 actually need Plan 01's output? -->
+@.planning/phases/01-foundation/01-03-SUMMARY.md  <!-- Chain grows, context bloats -->
+</context>
+```
+
+**Why bad:** Plans are often independent. Reflexive chaining (02 refs 01, 03 refs 02...) wastes context. Only reference prior SUMMARY files when the plan genuinely uses types/exports from that prior plan or a decision from it affects the current plan.
+
+### Good — Selective context
+
+```markdown
+<context>
+@.planning/PROJECT.md
+@.planning/STATE.md
+@.planning/phases/01-foundation/01-01-SUMMARY.md  <!-- Uses User type defined in Plan 01 -->
+</context>
+```
+
+## Scope Reduction Anti-Patterns
+
+**Prohibited language in task actions:**
+- "v1", "v2", "simplified version", "static for now", "hardcoded for now"
+- "future enhancement", "placeholder", "basic version", "minimal implementation"
+- "will be wired later", "dynamic in future phase", "skip for now"
+
+If a decision from CONTEXT.md says "display cost calculated from billing table in impulses", the plan must deliver exactly that. Not "static label /min" as a "v1". If the phase is too complex, recommend a phase split instead of silently reducing scope.

+# Planner Source Audit & Authority Limits
+
+Reference for `agents/gsd-planner.md` — extended rules for multi-source coverage audits and planner authority constraints.
+
+## Multi-Source Coverage Audit Format
+
+Before finalizing plans, produce a **source audit** covering ALL four artifact types:
+
+```
+SOURCE    | ID      | Feature/Requirement          | Plan  | Status    | Notes
+--------- | ------- | ---------------------------- | ----- | --------- | ------
+GOAL      | —       | {phase goal from ROADMAP.md}  | 01-03 | COVERED   |
+REQ       | REQ-14  | OAuth login with Google + GH | 02    | COVERED   |
+REQ       | REQ-22  | Email verification flow      | 03    | COVERED   |
+RESEARCH  | —       | Rate limiting on auth routes | 01    | COVERED   |
+RESEARCH  | —       | Refresh token rotation       | NONE  | ⚠ MISSING | No plan covers this
+CONTEXT   | D-01    | Use jose library for JWT     | 02    | COVERED   |
+CONTEXT   | D-04    | 15min access / 7day refresh  | 02    | COVERED   |
+```
+
+### Four Source Types
+
+1. **GOAL** — The `goal:` field from ROADMAP.md for this phase. The primary success condition.
+2. **REQ** — Every REQ-ID in `phase_req_ids`. Cross-reference REQUIREMENTS.md for descriptions.
+3. **RESEARCH** — Technical approaches, discovered constraints, and features identified in RESEARCH.md. Exclude items explicitly marked "out of scope" or "future work" by the researcher.
+4. **CONTEXT** — Every D-XX decision from CONTEXT.md `<decisions>` section.
+
+### What is NOT a Gap
+
+Do not flag these as MISSING:
+- Items in `## Deferred Ideas` in CONTEXT.md — developer chose to defer these
+- Items scoped to a different phase via `phase_req_ids` — not assigned to this phase
+- Items in RESEARCH.md explicitly marked "out of scope" or "future work" by the researcher
+
+### Handling MISSING Items
+
+If ANY row is `⚠ MISSING`, do NOT finalize the plan set silently. Return to the orchestrator:
+
+```
+## ⚠ Source Audit: Unplanned Items Found
+
+The following items from source artifacts have no corresponding plan:
+
+1. **{SOURCE}: {item description}** (from {artifact file}, section "{section}")
+   - {why this was identified as required}
+
+   Options:
+   A) Add a plan to cover this item
+   B) Split phase: move to a sub-phase
+   C) Defer explicitly: add to backlog with developer confirmation
+
+   → Awaiting developer decision before finalizing plan set.
+```
+
+If ALL rows are COVERED → return `## PLANNING COMPLETE` as normal.
+

+
+## Authority Limits — Constraint Examples
+
+The planner's only legitimate reasons to split or flag a feature are **constraints**, not judgments about difficulty:
+
+**Valid (constraints):**
+- ✓ "This task touches 9 files and would consume ~45% context — split into two tasks"
+- ✓ "No API key or endpoint is defined in any source artifact — need developer input"
+- ✓ "This feature depends on the auth system built in Phase 03, which is not yet complete"
+
+**Invalid (difficulty judgments):**
+- ✗ "This is complex and would be difficult to implement correctly"
+- ✗ "Integrating with an external service could take a long time"
+- ✗ "This is a challenging feature that might be better left to a future phase"
+
+If a feature has none of the three legitimate constraints (context cost, missing information, dependency conflict), it gets planned. Period.
