feat: show screenshots to user during QA and browse sessions (v0.5.0.1) (#129)
Add rule 11 to QA and Design methodologies in gen-skill-docs.ts
instructing Claude to Read screenshot PNGs after taking them.
This makes screenshots visible as clickable elements in Conductor
and other Claude Code UIs. Also added to browse and gstack SKILL
templates.

fix: js statement wrapping + click auto-routes option to selectOption (v0.4.5) (#117)
* fix: js statement wrapping + click auto-routes option to selectOption
Bug 1: js command wrapped all code as expressions — const, semicolons,
and multi-line code broke with SyntaxError. Added needsBlockWrapper()
and wrapForEvaluate() helpers (shared with eval) to detect statements
and use block wrapper {…} instead of expression wrapper (…).
Bug 2: clicking <option> refs hung forever because Playwright can't
.click() native select UI. Click handler now checks ARIA role + DOM
tagName and auto-routes to selectOption() via parent <select>.
Bug 3: click timeouts on <option> elements gave no guidance. Now
throws helpful error: "Use browse select instead of click."

fix: update check cache — 60min UP_TO_DATE TTL + --force flag (v0.4.4) (#110)
* fix: split update check cache TTL + add --force flag
UP_TO_DATE cache now expires after 60 min (was 720 min / 12 hours).
UPGRADE_AVAILABLE keeps 720 min TTL to keep nagging.
--force flag deletes cache before checking, used by /gstack-upgrade
standalone invocation to always get a fresh result from GitHub.

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

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

Free tests (Tier 1): RECOMMENDATION format + session awareness in all
preamble SKILL.md files, enum completeness checklist structure and CRITICAL
classification.
E2E eval: /review catches missed enum handlers when a new status value
is added but not handled in case/switch and notify methods.

* feat: add E2E eval for session awareness ELI16 mode
Stubs _SESSIONS=4, gives agent a decision point on feature/add-payments

* 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.

* 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

Merge pull request #55 from garrytan/v0.3.6-qa-upgrades
feat: E2E observability + eval infrastructure + all skills templated
fix: update check ignores stale UP_TO_DATE cache after version change
The UP_TO_DATE cache path exited immediately without checking if the
cached version still matched the local VERSION. After upgrading (e.g.
0.3.3 → 0.3.4), the cache still said "UP_TO_DATE 0.3.3" and the
script never re-checked against remote — so updates were invisible
until the 24h cache expired.
Now both UP_TO_DATE and UPGRADE_AVAILABLE verify cached version vs
local before trusting the cache.

# Conflicts:

fix: browse binary discovery broken for agents (v0.3.5) (#44)
* fix: replace find-browse with direct path in SKILL.md setup blocks
Agents were skipping the find-browse binary and guessing bin/browse
(wrong path). Now the setup block explicitly checks browse/dist/browse
with workspace-local priority, global fallback.
Also adds || true to update check to prevent misleading exit code 1.
Adds {{UPDATE_CHECK}} and {{BROWSE_SETUP}} template placeholders to
gen-skill-docs.ts so all skills share a single source of truth.
* refactor: convert qa/ and setup-browser-cookies/ to .tmpl templates
Replaces hardcoded update check and find-browse blocks with
{{UPDATE_CHECK}} and {{BROWSE_SETUP}} placeholders. Both skills
are now generated from templates via gen-skill-docs.
* test: add e2e and LLM eval tests for SKILL.md setup block
- 3 Agent SDK e2e tests: happy path, NEEDS_SETUP, non-git-repo
- LLM eval: setup block clarity + actionability >= 4
- New error pattern: 'no such file or directory.*browse'
These tests catch the exact failure mode where agents can't discover
the browse binary via SKILL.md instructions.

feat: 3-tier eval suite with planted-bug outcome testing (EVALS=1)
Adds comprehensive eval infrastructure:
- Tier 1 (free): 13 new static tests — cross-skill path consistency, QA
structure validation, greptile format, planted-bug fixture validation
- Tier 2 (Agent SDK E2E): /qa quick, /review with pre-built git repo,
3 planted-bug outcome evals (static, SPA, checkout — each with 5 bugs)
- Tier 3 (LLM judge): QA workflow quality, health rubric clarity,
cross-skill consistency, baseline score pinning
New fixtures: 3 HTML pages with 15 total planted bugs, ground truth JSON,
review-eval-vuln.rb, eval-baselines.json. Shared llm-judge.ts helper (DRY).
Unified EVALS=1 flag replaces SKILL_E2E + ANTHROPIC_API_KEY checks.
`bun run test:evals` runs everything that costs money (~$4/run).

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).

* fix: enrich command descriptions and snapshot flags for LLM eval quality
14 command descriptions enriched with specific arg formats, valid values,
error behavior, and return types. Fixed header usage from <name> <value>
to <name>:<value>. Added cookie usage syntax. Snapshot flags now show
long names, ref numbering, and output format examples.
* refactor: auto-generate server.ts help text from COMMAND_DESCRIPTIONS
Replace hand-maintained help block with generateHelpText() that reads
from COMMAND_DESCRIPTIONS and SNAPSHOT_FLAGS. Eliminates help text
drift from source of truth.

Usage consistency test cross-checks Usage: patterns in implementation
against COMMAND_DESCRIPTIONS using structural skeleton comparison.
Pipe guard test ensures descriptions don't contain | which would break
markdown table rendering.
* chore: upgrade eval judge to Sonnet 4.6, update changelog
