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.
* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.7.1)

feat: founder discovery engine + /debug skill — v0.7.0 (#185)
* feat: add escalation protocol to preamble — all skills get DONE/BLOCKED/NEEDS_CONTEXT
Every skill now reports completion status (DONE, DONE_WITH_CONCERNS, BLOCKED,
NEEDS_CONTEXT) and has escalation rules: 3 failed attempts → STOP, security
uncertainty → STOP, scope exceeds verification → STOP.
"It is always OK to stop and say 'this is too hard for me.'"
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add verification gate to /ship (Step 6.5) — no push without fresh evidence
Before pushing, re-verify tests if code changed during review fixes.
Rationalization prevention: "Should work now" → RUN IT.
"I'm confident" → Confidence is not evidence.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add scope drift detection + verification of claims to /review
Step 1.5: Before reviewing code quality, check if the diff matches stated
intent. Flags scope creep and missing requirements (INFORMATIONAL).
Step 5 addition: Every review claim must cite evidence — "this pattern is
safe" needs a line reference, "tests cover this" needs a test name.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: mandatory implementation alternatives + design doc lookup in /plan-ceo-review
Step 0C-bis: Every plan must consider 2-3 approaches (minimal viable vs ideal
architecture) before mode selection. RECOMMENDATION required.
Pre-Review System Audit now checks ~/.gstack/projects/ for /brainstorm design
docs (branch-filtered with fallback).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: design doc lookup in /plan-eng-review + fix branch name sanitization
Step 0 now checks ~/.gstack/projects/ for /brainstorm design docs
(branch-filtered with fallback, reads Supersedes: for revision context).
Fix: branch names with '/' (e.g. garrytan/better-process) now get
sanitized via tr '/' '-' in test plan artifact filenames.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: new /brainstorm and /debug skills
/brainstorm: Socratic design exploration before planning. Context gathering,
clarifying questions (smart-skip), related design discovery (keyword grep),
premise challenge, forced alternatives, design doc artifact with lineage
tracking (Supersedes: field). Writes to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/.
/debug: Systematic root-cause debugging. Iron Law: no fixes without root
cause investigation. Pattern analysis, hypothesis testing with 3-strike
escalation, structured DEBUG REPORT output.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: structural tests for new skills + escalation protocol assertions
Add brainstorm + debug to skillsWithUpdateCheck and skillsWithPreamble arrays.
Add structural tests: brainstorm (Phase 1-6, Design Doc, Supersedes, Smart-skip),
debug (Iron Law, Root Cause, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis, DEBUG REPORT, 3-strike).
Add escalation protocol tests (DONE_WITH_CONCERNS, BLOCKED, NEEDS_CONTEXT) for
all preamble skills.
Also: 2 new TODOs (design docs → Supabase sync, /plan-design-review skill),
update CLAUDE.md project structure with new skill directories.

* chore: rename /brainstorm → /office-hours across references
Update CHANGELOG, CLAUDE.md, TODOS, design-consultation, plan-ceo-review,
and gen-skill-docs to reference the new office-hours skill name.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: YC Office Hours — dual-mode product diagnostic + builder brainstorm
Rewrite /office-hours with two modes:
Startup mode: six forcing questions (Demand Reality, Status Quo, Desperate
Specificity, Narrowest Wedge, Observation & Surprise, Future-Fit) that push
founders toward radical honesty about demand, users, and product decisions.
Includes smart routing by product stage, intrapreneurship adaptation, and
YC apply CTA for strong-signal founders.
Builder mode: generative brainstorming for side projects, hackathons,
learning, and open source. Enthusiastic collaborator tone, design thinking
questions, no business interrogation.
Mode is determined by an explicit question in Phase 1 — no guessing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: add 14 assertions for YC Office Hours content coverage
Validates dual-mode structure (Startup/Builder), all six forcing questions,
builder brainstorming content, intrapreneurship adaptation, YC apply CTA,
and operating principles for both modes. 192 tests total, all passing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: update project documentation for v0.6.1

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: founder discovery engine in /office-hours (v0.7.0)
Turn /office-hours into a YC founder discovery engine. Every session now
ends with three beats: signal reflection (specific callbacks to what the
user said), "One more thing." transition, and a personal plea from Garry
Tan with three tiers based on founder signal strength. Top tier uses
AskUserQuestion to ask directly and opens ycombinator.com/apply?ref=gstack.
Adds Phase 4.5 (Founder Signal Synthesis), "What I noticed about how you
think" section to both design doc templates, anti-slop GOOD/BAD examples,
and emotional targets per tier.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: add validation assertions for founder discovery engine
8 new assertions covering: YC apply CTA with ref=gstack tracking,
"What I noticed" design doc section, golden age framing, Garry Tan
personal plea, founder signal synthesis phase, three-tier decision
rubric, anti-slop GOOD/BAD examples, "One more thing" transition beat.

feat: add trigger phrases to skill descriptions for better model matching (v0.6.4.1) (#169)
* feat: add trigger phrases to skill descriptions for better model matching
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.

* docs: split README into lean intro + docs/ directory (gh CLI pattern)
README: 875 → 243 lines. Keeps intro, skill table, demo, install, and
troubleshooting. All per-skill deep dives, Greptile integration guide,
and contributor mode docs moved to docs/ directory.
- docs/skills.md — full philosophy and examples for all 13 skills
- docs/greptile.md — Greptile setup and triage workflow
- docs/contributor-mode.md — how to enable and use contributor mode
- README now links to docs/ via Documentation table
- Updated skill table entries with latest features (fix-first, regression
tests, test health, completeness gaps)
- Updated demo transcript with AUTO-FIXED, coverage audit, regression test

* docs: remove "competitor" language, rewrite README in Garry's voice
Replace "browses competitors" with "knows the landscape" / "what's out
there" throughout all user-facing copy. Trim README from 243 to 167
lines — tighter, more opinionated, less listicle energy. Remove
Completeness Principle from README top (it lives in CLAUDE.md and the
skill preambles where Claude actually reads it).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: rewrite README in Garry's raw voice — AGI era, L8 factory, real stories
The README now sounds like Garry, not a product page. Leads with the
live experiment, the 16k LOC/day reality, the real-life coding stories
(Austin, hospital bedside). Highlights the newest unlocks (design at
the heart, /qa parallelism, smart review routing, test bootstrap).
Closes with an open invitation — free MIT, fork it, let's all ride
the wave together.

feat: Test Bootstrap + Regression Tests + Coverage Audit (v0.6.0) (#136)
* feat: test bootstrap, regression tests, coverage audit, retro test health
- Add {{TEST_BOOTSTRAP}} resolver to gen-skill-docs.ts
- Add Phase 8e.5 regression test generation to /qa and /qa-design-review
- Add Step 3.4 test coverage audit with quality scoring to /ship
- Add test health tracking to /retro
- Add 2 E2E evals (bootstrap + coverage audit)
- Add 26 validation tests
- Update ARCHITECTURE.md placeholder table
- Add 2 P3 TODOs (CI/CD non-GitHub, auto-upgrade weak tests)
* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.6.0)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: make coverage audit trace actual codepaths, not just syntax patterns
Step 3.4 now instructs Claude to read full files, trace data flow through
every branch, diagram the execution, and check each branch against tests.
Phase 8e.5 regression tests now trace the bug's codepath before writing
the test, catching adjacent edge cases.
* feat: coverage audit now maps user flows, interactions, and error states
Step 3.4 now covers the full picture: code branches AND user-facing behavior.
Maps user flows (complete journey through the feature), interaction edge cases
(double-click, back button, stale state, slow connection), error states
(what does the user actually see?), and boundary states (zero results,
10k results, max-length input). Coverage diagram splits into Code Path
Coverage and User Flow Coverage sections with separate percentages.
* fix: raise test gen cap to 20, add validation tests for user flow coverage
- Raise Step 3.4 test generation cap from 10 to 20 (code + user flow combined)
- Add 3 validation tests: codepath tracing, user flow mapping, diagram sections

feat: await support in browse js/eval + contributor mode v2 (#104)
* feat: support await in $B js and eval commands
Auto-wrap await expressions in async IIFE context so
$B js "await fetch(...)" works without SyntaxError.
- hasAwait() strips comments before detection
- js: expression wrapping (async()=>(expr))()
- eval: smart wrapping — single-line=expression, multi-line=block
- 6 new unit tests covering async, false-positive, and return semantics
* feat: redesign contributor mode — periodic reflection with 0-10 rating
Replace passive "report when things break" with active reflection:
- Rate gstack experience 0-10 at workflow step boundaries
- Historical calibration example (await bug) anchors the reporting bar
- "What would make this a 10" field focuses on actionable improvements
- Removed category lists in favor of judgment-based assessment
* test: add deterministic contributor mode preamble validation
40 new skill-validation tests (4 checks × 10 skills) verify:
- 0-10 rating scale present
- Calibration example present
- "What would make this a 10" field present
- Periodic reflection (not per-command)
Update existing E2E contributor eval for new report format.
* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.4.2)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: improve contributor mode + qa-quick E2E reliability
Contributor mode:
- Add "do not truncate" directive to template — agent was stopping
after "My rating" without completing Steps/Raw output/What would
make this a 10 sections
- Restore assertions for Steps to reproduce and Date footer
QA quick:
- Make test server URL prominent: top of prompt, explicit "already
running" and "do NOT discover ports" instructions
- Bump session timeout 180s→240s and test timeout 240s→300s
- Set B= at top of prompt (was buried in prose)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: use flexible assertions for contributor mode E2E
Agent writes thorough reports with creative section names
("Repro Steps" vs "Steps to reproduce"). Match intent not formatting:
- /repro|steps to reproduce/ for reproduction steps
- /date.*2026/ for date footer presence
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add E2E eval failure blame protocol
"Not related to our changes" is an extraordinary claim that requires
extraordinary proof. When evals fail during /ship:
1. Run the same eval on main — prove it fails there too
2. If it passes on main, it IS your change — trace the blame
3. If you can't verify, say "unverified" not "pre-existing"
Added to CLAUDE.md and as a comment in skill-e2e.test.ts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: update CONTRIBUTING.md and BROWSER.md for v0.4.2
CONTRIBUTING.md: update contributor mode description — now describes
periodic 0-10 reflection loop instead of passive friction detection.
BROWSER.md: add js/eval async documentation — await expressions are
auto-wrapped in async context, single-line eval returns values directly.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: restore v0.4.2 changelog entries lost during cherry-pick conflict
The base branch detection entries from main were dropped when resolving
the CHANGELOG conflict — should have merged both sets, not replaced.

fix: dynamic base branch detection across all SKILL templates (v0.3.10) (#81)
* feat: add {{BASE_BRANCH_DETECT}} resolver to gen-skill-docs
DRY placeholder for dynamic base branch detection across PR-targeting
skills. Detects via gh pr view (existing PR base) → gh repo view
(repo default) → fallback to main.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: ship skill detects base branch instead of hardcoding main
Replaces ~14 hardcoded 'main' references with dynamic detection via
{{BASE_BRANCH_DETECT}}. Fixes stacked branches and Conductor workspaces
targeting non-main branches. Adds --base <base> to gh pr create.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: review, qa, plan-ceo-review detect base branch dynamically
Same pattern as ship: replaces hardcoded 'main' with {{BASE_BRANCH_DETECT}}.
Also cleans up qa bash-isms (REPORT_DIR variable, port chaining).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: retro detects default branch instead of hardcoding origin/main
Retro queries commit history (not PR targets), so uses simpler detection:
gh repo view defaultBranchRef. Replaces ~11 origin/main refs with
origin/<default>.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add explicit cross-step references in gstack-upgrade template
Bash blocks are self-contained, but cross-block variable references
(INSTALL_DIR from Step 2) were implicit. Adds prose making them explicit.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs+test: SKILL authoring guidance + regression tests

- /review: verifies Step 0 detection + git diff against detected base
- /ship: truncated dry-run (Steps 0-1 only, no push/PR), asserts no
destructive actions
- /retro: verifies default branch detection for git log queries
Covers the {{BASE_BRANCH_DETECT}} resolver path (review), the ship
template's dual abort check, and retro's inline detection pattern.

* fix: contributor mode eval marked FAIL due to expected browse error
The test intentionally runs a nonexistent binary to trigger contributor
mode. The session runner's browse error detection catches "no such file
or directory...browse" and sets browseErrors, causing recordE2E to mark
passed=false. Override passed to check only exitReason since the browse
error is the expected scenario.

feat: smart update check with auto-upgrade, snooze backoff, config CLI (v0.3.9) (#62)
* feat: add bin/gstack-config CLI for reading/writing ~/.gstack/config.yaml
Simple get/set/list interface for persistent gstack configuration.
Used by update-check and upgrade skill for auto_upgrade and update_check settings.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: smart update check with 12h cache, snooze backoff, config disable
- Reduce cache TTL from 24h to 12h for faster update detection
- Add exponential snooze backoff: 24h → 48h → 1 week (resets on new version)
- Add update_check: false config option to disable checks entirely
- Clear snooze file on just-upgraded
- 14 new tests covering snooze levels, expiry, corruption, and config paths
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: upgrade skill with auto-upgrade, 4-option prompt, vendored sync
- Auto-upgrade mode via config or GSTACK_AUTO_UPGRADE=1 env var
- 4-option AskUserQuestion: upgrade once, always, not now, never
- Step 4.5: sync local vendored copy after upgrading primary install
- Snooze write with escalating backoff on "Not now"
- Update preamble text in gen-skill-docs for new upgrade flow
- Regenerate all SKILL.md files

feat: TODOS-aware skills, 2-tier Greptile replies, gitignore fix (#61)
* fix: log non-ENOENT errors in ensureStateDir() instead of silently swallowing
Replace bare catch {} with ENOENT-only silence. Non-ENOENT errors (EACCES,
ENOSPC) are now logged to .gstack/browse-server.log. Includes test for
permission-denied scenario with chmod 444.
* feat: merge TODO.md + TODOS.md into unified backlog with shared format reference
Merge TODO.md (roadmap) and TODOS.md (near-term) into one file organized by
skill/component with P0-P4 priority ordering and Completed section. Add shared
review/TODOS-format.md for canonical format. Add static validation tests.
* feat: add 2-tier Greptile reply system with escalation detection
Add reply templates (Tier 1 friendly, Tier 2 firm), explicit escalation
detection algorithm, and severity re-ranking guidance to greptile-triage.md.
* feat: cross-skill TODOS awareness + Greptile template refs in all skills
/ship Step 5.5: auto-detect completed TODOs, offer reorganization.
/review Step 5.5: cross-reference PR against open TODOs.
/plan-ceo-review, /plan-eng-review: TODOS context in planning.
/retro: Backlog Health metric. /qa: bug TODO context in diff-aware mode.
All Greptile-aware skills now reference reply templates and escalation detection.
* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.3.8)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: update CONTRIBUTING.md for v0.3.8 changes

Merge pull request #55 from garrytan/v0.3.6-qa-upgrades
feat: E2E observability + eval infrastructure + all skills templated
fix: update check preamble exits 1 when up to date — convert all skills to .tmpl
The `[ -n "$_UPD" ] && echo "$_UPD"` line in 5 skills was missing `|| true`,
causing exit code 1 when the update check finds no update (empty $_UPD).
Fix: convert ship/, review/, plan-ceo-review/, plan-eng-review/, retro/ to
.tmpl templates using {{UPDATE_CHECK}} placeholder (same as browse/qa/etc).
All 9 skills now generated from templates — preamble changes propagate everywhere.
Also: regenerates qa/SKILL.md which had drifted from its template, adds 12 tests
validating the update check preamble exits 0 in all skills, removes completed TODO.

Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into v0.3.6-qa-upgrades
# Conflicts:
# test/skill-e2e.test.ts
feat: daily update check + /gstack-upgrade skill (v0.3.4) (#42)
* feat: add daily update check script + /gstack-upgrade skill
bin/gstack-update-check: pure bash, checks VERSION against remote once/day,
outputs UPGRADE_AVAILABLE or JUST_UPGRADED. Uses ~/.gstack/ for state.
gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md: new skill with inline upgrade flow for all preambles.
Detects global-git, local-git, vendored installs. Shows What's New from CHANGELOG.
browse/test/gstack-update-check.test.ts: 10 test cases covering all branch paths.
* refactor: remove version check from find-browse, simplify to binary locator
Delete checkVersion(), readCache(), writeCache(), fetchRemoteSHA(),
resolveSkillDir(), CacheEntry interface, REPO_URL/CACHE_PATH/CACHE_TTL
constants, and META output from find-browse.ts.
Version checking is now handled by bin/gstack-update-check (previous commit).
* feat: add update check preamble to all 9 skills
Every skill now runs bin/gstack-update-check on invocation. If an upgrade
is available, reads gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md inline upgrade flow.
Also adds AskUserQuestion to 5 skills that lacked it (gstack root, browse,
qa, retro, setup-browser-cookies) and Bash to plan-eng-review.
Simplifies qa and setup-browser-cookies setup blocks (removes META parsing).
* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.3.4)

feat: v0.3.2 — project-local state, diff-aware QA, Greptile integration (#36)
* fix: cookie import picker returns JSON instead of HTML
jsonResponse() was defined at module scope but referenced `url` which
only existed as a parameter of handleCookiePickerRoute(). Every API call
crashed, the catch block also crashed, and Bun returned a default HTML
page that the frontend couldn't parse as JSON.
Thread port via corsOrigin() helper and options objects. Add route-level
tests to prevent this class of bug from shipping again.

* feat: add help command to browse server
Agents that don't have SKILL.md loaded (or misread flags) had no way to
self-discover the CLI. The help command returns a formatted reference of
all commands and snapshot flags.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: version-aware find-browse with META signal protocol
Agents in other workspaces found stale browse binaries that were missing
newer flags. find-browse now compares the local binary's git SHA against
origin/main via git ls-remote (4hr cache), and emits META:UPDATE_AVAILABLE
when behind. SKILL.md setup checks parse META signals and prompt the user
to update.
- New compiled binary: browse/dist/find-browse (TypeScript, testable)
- Bash shim at browse/bin/find-browse delegates to compiled binary
- .version file written at build time with git commit SHA
- Build script compiles both browse and find-browse binaries
- Graceful degradation: offline, missing .version, corrupt cache all skip check

* chore: clean up .bun-build temp files after compile

* fix: make help command reachable by removing it from META_COMMANDS
help was in META_COMMANDS, so it dispatched to handleMetaCommand() which
threw "Unknown meta command: help". Removing it from the set lets the
dedicated else-if handler in handleCommand() execute correctly.

* feat: add shared Greptile comment triage reference doc
Shared reference for fetching, filtering, and classifying Greptile
review comments on GitHub PRs. Used by both /review and /ship skills.
Includes parallel API fetching, suppressions check, classification
logic, reply APIs, and history file writes.
* feat: make /review and /ship Greptile-aware
/review: Step 2.5 fetches and classifies Greptile comments, Step 5
resolves them with AskUserQuestion for valid issues and false positives.
/ship: Step 3.75 triages Greptile comments between pre-landing review
and version bump. Adds Greptile Review section to PR body in Step 8.
Re-runs tests if any Greptile fixes are applied.
* feat: add Greptile batting average to /retro
Reads ~/.gstack/greptile-history.md, computes signal ratio
(valid catches vs false positives), includes in metrics table,
JSON snapshot, and Code Quality Signals narrative.
* docs: add Greptile integration section to README
Personal endorsement, two-layer review narrative, full UX walkthrough
transcript, skills table updates. Add Greptile training feedback loop
to TODO.md future ideas.
* feat: add local dev mode for testing skills from within the repo
bin/dev-setup creates .claude/skills/gstack symlink to the working tree
so Claude Code discovers skills locally. bin/dev-teardown cleans up.
DEVELOPING_GSTACK.md documents the workflow.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: narrow gitignore to .claude/skills/ instead of all .claude/
Avoids ignoring legitimate Claude Code config like settings.json or CLAUDE.md.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: rename DEVELOPING_GSTACK.md to CONTRIBUTING.md
Rewritten as a contributor-friendly guide instead of a dry plan doc.

* feat: add browser interaction guidance to CLAUDE.md
Prevents Claude from using mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools instead of /browse.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add shared config module for project-local browse state
Centralizes path resolution (git root detection, state dir, log paths) into
config.ts. Both cli.ts and server.ts import from it, eliminating duplicated
PORT_OFFSET/BROWSE_PORT/STATE_FILE logic.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: rewrite port selection to use random ports
Replace CONDUCTOR_PORT magic offset and 9400-9409 scan with random port
10000-60000. Atomic state file writes, log paths from config module,
binaryVersion field for auto-restart on update.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: move browse state from /tmp to project-local .gstack/
CLI now uses config module for state paths, passes BROWSE_STATE_FILE to
spawned server. Adds version mismatch auto-restart, legacy /tmp cleanup
with PID verification, and removes stale global install fallback.

* fix: update crash log path reference to .gstack/
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: add config tests and update CLI lifecycle test
14 new tests for config resolution, ensureStateDir, readVersionHash,
resolveServerScript, and version mismatch detection. Remove obsolete
CONDUCTOR_PORT/BROWSE_PORT filtering from commands.test.ts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: update BROWSER.md and TODO.md for project-local state
Replace /tmp paths with .gstack/, remove CONDUCTOR_PORT docs, document
random port selection and per-project isolation. Add server bundling TODO.

* feat: add diff-aware mode to /qa — auto-tests affected pages from branch diff
When on a feature branch, /qa now reads git diff main, identifies affected
pages/routes from changed files, and tests them automatically. No URL required.
The most natural flow: write code, /ship, /qa.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* chore: update CHANGELOG for complete v0.3.2 coverage

* Phase 2: Rewrite SKILL.md as QA playbook + command reference
Reorient SKILL.md files from raw command reference to QA-first playbook
with 10 workflow patterns (test user flows, verify deployments, dogfood
features, responsive layouts, file upload, forms, dialogs, compare pages).
Compact command reference tables at the bottom.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Phase 3: /qa skill — systematic QA testing with health scores
New /qa skill for systematic web app QA testing. Three modes:
- full: 5-10 documented issues with screenshots and repro steps
- quick: 30-second smoke test with health score
- regression: compare against saved baseline
Includes issue taxonomy (7 categories, 4 severity levels), structured
report template, health score rubric (weighted across 7 categories),
framework detection guidance (Next.js, Rails, WordPress, SPA).
Also adds browse/bin/find-browse (DRY binary discovery using git
rev-parse), .gstack/ to .gitignore, and updated TODO roadmap.
