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.

@@ -49,7 +49,16 @@ Format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
 - **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)
-- **SDK query follow-up** — Expanded mutation commands, PID-liveness lock cleanup, depth-bounded JSON search, and comprehensive unit tests
+- **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.

+### 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)

+      "Write",
+      "Edit",

+      "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.

+# Skill Discovery Contract
+
+> Canonical rules for scanning, inventorying, and rendering GSD skills.
+
+## Root Categories
+
+### Project Roots
+
+Scan these roots relative to the project root:
+
+- `.claude/skills/`
+- `.agents/skills/`
+- `.cursor/skills/`
+- `.github/skills/`
+- `./.codex/skills/`
+
+These roots are used for project-specific skills and for the project `CLAUDE.md` skills section.
+
+### Managed Global Roots
+
+Scan these roots relative to the user home directory:
+
+- `~/.claude/skills/`
+- `~/.codex/skills/`
+
+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
+
+<domain>
+## Phase Boundary
+
+{Domain boundary statement from analysis — what this phase delivers}
+
+</domain>
+
+<decisions>
+## Implementation Decisions
+

+- {Accepted/chosen answer for Q1}
+- {Accepted/chosen answer for Q2}
+- {Accepted/chosen answer for Q3}

+

+...
+
+### Claude's Discretion
+{Any "You decide" answers collected — note Claude has flexibility here}
+
+</decisions>
+
+<code_context>
+## Existing Code Insights
+
+### Reusable Assets
+- {From codebase scout — components, hooks, utilities}
+
+### Established Patterns
+- {From codebase scout — state management, styling, data fetching}
+
+### Integration Points
+- {From codebase scout — where new code connects}
+
+</code_context>
+
+<specifics>
+## Specific Ideas
+
+{Any specific references or "I want it like X" from discussion}
+{If none: "No specific requirements — open to standard approaches"}
+
+</specifics>
+
+<deferred>
+## Deferred Ideas
+
+{Ideas captured but out of scope for this phase}
+{If none: "None — discussion stayed within phase scope"}
+
+</deferred>
+```
+
+Write the file.
+
+**Commit:**
+
+```bash
+gsd-sdk query commit "docs(${PADDED_PHASE}): smart discuss context" "${phase_dir}/${padded_phase}-CONTEXT.md"
+```
+
+Display confirmation:
+
+```
+Created: {path}
+Decisions captured: {count} across {area_count} areas
+```

-
-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=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" 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):
-

+## Forensic Integrity Audit
+
+Running 6 deep checks against project state...
+
+Run each check in order. For each check, emit ✓ (pass) or ⚠ (warning) with concrete evidence when a problem is found.
+
+**Check 1 — STATE vs artifact consistency**
+
+Read STATE.md `status` / `stopped_at` fields (from the STATE snapshot already loaded). Compare against the artifact count from the roadmap analysis. If STATE.md claims the current phase is pending/mid-flight but the artifact count shows it as complete (all PLAN.md files have matching SUMMARY.md files), flag inconsistency. Emit:
+- ✓ `STATE.md consistent with artifact count` — if both agree
+- ⚠ `STATE.md claims [status] but artifact count shows phase complete` — with the specific values
+
+**Check 2 — Orphaned handoff files**
+
+Check for existence of:
+```bash
+ls .planning/HANDOFF.json .planning/phases/*/.continue-here.md .planning/phases/*/*HANDOFF*.md 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+Also check `.planning/continue-here.md`.
+
+Emit:
+- ✓ `No orphaned handoff files` — if none found
+- ⚠ `Orphaned handoff files found` — list each file path, add: `→ Work was paused mid-flight. Read the handoff before continuing.`
+
+**Check 3 — Deferred scope drift**
+
+Search phase artifacts (CONTEXT.md, DISCUSSION-LOG.md, BUG-BRIEF.md, VERIFICATION.md, SUMMARY.md, HANDOFF.md files under `.planning/phases/`) for patterns:
+```bash
+grep -rl "defer to Phase\|future phase\|out of scope Phase\|deferred to Phase" .planning/phases/ 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+For each match, extract the referenced phase number. Cross-reference against ROADMAP.md phase list. If the referenced phase number is NOT in ROADMAP.md, flag as deferred scope not captured.
+
+Emit:
+- ✓ `All deferred scope captured in ROADMAP` — if no mismatches
+- ⚠ `Deferred scope references phase(s) not in ROADMAP` — list: file, reference text, missing phase number
+
+**Check 4 — Memory-flagged pending work**
+
+Check if `.planning/MEMORY.md` or `.planning/memory/` exists:
+```bash
+ls .planning/MEMORY.md .planning/memory/*.md 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+If found, grep for entries containing: `pending`, `status`, `deferred`, `not yet run`, `backfill`, `blocking`.
+
+Emit:
+- ✓ `No memory entries flagging pending work` — if none found or no MEMORY.md
+- ⚠ `Memory entries flag pending/deferred work` — list the matching lines (max 5, truncated at 80 chars)
+
+**Check 5 — Blocking operational todos**
+
+Check for pending todos:
+```bash
+ls .planning/todos/pending/*.md 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+For files found, scan for keywords indicating operational blockers: `script`, `credential`, `API key`, `manual`, `verification`, `setup`, `configure`, `run `.
+
+Emit:
+- ✓ `No blocking operational todos` — if no pending todos or none match operational keywords
+- ⚠ `Blocking operational todos found` — list the file names and matching keywords (max 5)
+
+**Check 6 — Uncommitted code**
+
+```bash
+git status --porcelain 2>/dev/null | grep -v "^??" | grep -v "^.planning\/" | grep -v "^\.\." | head -10
+```
+
+If output is non-empty (modified/staged files outside `.planning/`), flag as uncommitted code.
+
+Emit:
+- ✓ `Working tree clean` — if no modified files outside `.planning/`
+- ⚠ `Uncommitted changes in source files` — list up to 10 file paths
+
+---
+
+After all 6 checks, display the verdict:
+
+**If all 6 checks passed:**
+```
+### Verdict: CLEAN
+
+The standard progress report is trustworthy — proceed with the routing suggestion above.
+```
+
+**If 1 or more checks failed:**
+```
+### Verdict: N INTEGRITY ISSUE(S) FOUND
+
+The standard progress report may not reflect true project state.
+Review the flagged items above before acting on the routing suggestion.
+```
+
+Then for each failed check, add a concrete next action:
+- Check 2 (orphaned handoff): `Read the handoff file(s) and resume from where work was paused: /gsd-resume-work ${GSD_WS}`
+- Check 3 (deferred scope): `Add the missing phases to ROADMAP.md or update the deferred references`
+- Check 4 (memory pending): `Review the flagged memory entries and resolve or clear them`
+- Check 5 (blocking todos): `Complete the operational steps in .planning/todos/pending/ before continuing`
+- Check 6 (uncommitted code): `Commit or stash the uncommitted changes before advancing`
+- Check 1 (STATE inconsistency): `Run /gsd-verify-work ${PHASE} ${GSD_WS} to reconcile state`
+</step>
