feat: test coverage catalog — shared audit across plan/ship/review (v0.10.1.0) (#259)

* refactor: extract {{TEST_COVERAGE_AUDIT}} shared resolver

DRY extraction of the test coverage audit methodology into a shared
generator function with three explicit placeholders:
- TEST_COVERAGE_AUDIT_PLAN (plan-eng-review)
- TEST_COVERAGE_AUDIT_SHIP (ship)
- TEST_COVERAGE_AUDIT_REVIEW (review)

Shared across all modes: codepath tracing, ASCII diagram format,
quality scoring rubric, E2E test decision matrix, regression rule,
and test framework detection via CLAUDE.md.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: plan-eng-review uses shared test coverage audit

Replace the thin 6-line Section 3 test review with the full shared
methodology via {{TEST_COVERAGE_AUDIT_PLAN}}. Plan mode now:
- Traces every codepath with full ASCII diagrams
- Adds missing tests to the plan (not just "check for tests")
- Writes test plan artifact for /qa consumption
- Includes E2E/eval recommendations and regression detection

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: ship uses shared test coverage audit

Replace 135 lines of inline Step 3.4 methodology with
{{TEST_COVERAGE_AUDIT_SHIP}}. Functionally identical output plus:
- E2E test decision matrix (marks paths needing E2E vs unit)
- Eval recommendations for LLM prompt changes
- Regression detection iron rule
- Test framework detection via CLAUDE.md first
- Test plan artifact for /qa consumption

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: /review Step 4.75 test coverage diagram

Add codepath tracing to the pre-landing review via
{{TEST_COVERAGE_AUDIT_REVIEW}}. Review mode:
- Produces ASCII coverage diagram (same methodology as plan/ship)
- Generates tests for gaps via Fix-First (ASK user)
- Subsumes Pass 2 "Test Gaps" checklist category
- Gaps are INFORMATIONAL findings

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: mode differentiation + regression guard for coverage audit

10 new tests verifying the three TEST_COVERAGE_AUDIT placeholders:
- All modes share: codepath tracing, E2E matrix, regression rule
- Plan mode: adds to plan + artifact, no ship-specific content
- Ship mode: auto-generates + before/after count + coverage summary
- Review mode: Fix-First ASK + INFORMATIONAL, no artifact
- Regression guard: ship SKILL.md preserves all key phrases

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: extract shared coverage audit fixture + review E2E

- Extract billing.ts fixture into coverage-audit-fixture.ts (DRY)
- Refactor ship-coverage-audit E2E to use shared fixture
- Add review-coverage-audit E2E for Step 4.75
- Update touchfiles: both E2Es depend on shared fixture

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: strengthen E2E assertions for coverage audit tests

The coverage audit E2E tests (ship + review) were only asserting
exitReason === 'success' and readCalls > 0 — they passed even
if the agent produced no coverage diagram. Add assertion that
the output contains either GAP or TESTED markers.

Found during /review.

* fix: plan mode traces the plan, not the git diff

Codex adversarial review caught that plan-eng-review was inheriting
"git diff origin/<base>...HEAD" from the shared resolver, but plan mode
reviews a plan document, not a code diff. Plan mode now says:
"Trace every codepath in the plan" and "Read the plan document."

Ship and review modes keep the git diff instruction.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.9.5.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: test coverage catalog + failure triage (merged branches) (#285)

* feat: add bin/gstack-repo-mode — solo vs collaborative detection with caching

Detects whether a repo is solo-dev (one person does 80%+ of recent commits)
or collaborative. Uses 90-day git shortlog window with 7-day cache in
~/.gstack/projects/{SLUG}/repo-mode.json. Config override via
`gstack-config set repo_mode solo|collaborative` takes precedence over
the heuristic. Minimum 5 commits required to classify (otherwise unknown).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: test failure ownership triage — see something say something

Adds two new preamble sections to all gstack skills:
- Repo Ownership Mode: explains solo vs collaborative behavior
- See Something, Say Something: proactive issue flagging principle

Adds {{TEST_FAILURE_TRIAGE}} template variable (opt-in, used by /ship):
- Classifies test failures as in-branch vs pre-existing
- Solo mode defaults to "investigate and fix now"
- Collaborative mode offers "blame + assign GitHub issue" option
- Also offers P0 TODO and skip options

/ship Step 3 now triages test failures instead of hard-stopping on all
failures. In-branch failures still block shipping. Pre-existing failures
get user-directed triage based on repo mode.

Adds P2 TODO for gstack notes system (deferred lightweight reminder).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for Claude and Codex hosts

All 22 Claude skills and 21 Codex skills regenerated with new preamble
sections (Repo Ownership Mode, See Something Say Something) and
{{TEST_FAILURE_TRIAGE}} resolved in ship/SKILL.md.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: validate repo mode values to prevent shell injection

Codex adversarial review found that unvalidated config/cache values
could be injected into shell via source <(gstack-repo-mode). Added
validate_mode() that only allows solo|collaborative|unknown — anything
else becomes "unknown". Prevents persistent code execution through
malicious config.yaml or tampered cache JSON.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: shell injection via branch names + feature-branch sampling bias

Codex code review found two issues:

P1: eval $(gstack-slug) in gstack-repo-mode executes branch names as
shell. Branch names like foo$(touch${IFS}pwned) are valid git refs and
would execute arbitrary commands. Fix: compute SLUG directly with sed
instead of eval'ing gstack-slug output.

P2: git shortlog HEAD only sees current branch history. On feature
branches that haven't merged main recently, other contributors disappear
from the sample. Fix: use git shortlog on the default branch
(origin/main) instead of HEAD.

Also improved blame lookup in collaborative triage to check both the
test file and the production code it covers.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: broaden codex-host stripping test to accommodate triage section

"Investigate and fix" now appears in TEST_FAILURE_TRIAGE (not just the
Codex review step). Use CODEX_REVIEWS config string as a more specific
marker for detecting the Codex review step in Codex-hosted skills.

* fix: replace template placeholder in TODOS.md with readable text

{{TEST_FAILURE_TRIAGE}} is template syntax but TODOS.md is not processed
by gen-skill-docs — replaced with human-readable reference.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.9.5.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add bin/ directory to project structure in CLAUDE.md

* test: add triage resolver unit tests, plan-eng coverage audit E2E, and triage E2E

- TEST_FAILURE_TRIAGE resolver: 6 unit tests verifying all triage steps (T1-T4),
  REPO_MODE branching, and safety default for ambiguous failures
- plan-eng-coverage-audit E2E: tests /plan-eng-review coverage audit codepath
  (gap identified during eng review — existed on neither branch)
- ship-triage E2E: planted-bug fixture with in-branch (truncate null) and
  pre-existing (divide-by-zero) failures; verifies correct classification
- Touchfile entries for diff-based test selection

* fix: gstack-repo-mode handles repos without origin remote

Split `git remote get-url origin` into a separate variable with `|| true`
so the script doesn't crash under `set -euo pipefail` in local-only repos.
Falls back to REPO_MODE=unknown gracefully.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: REPO_MODE defaults to unknown when helper emits nothing

Changed preamble from `source <(...) || REPO_MODE=unknown` (which doesn't
catch empty output) to `source <(...) || true` followed by
`REPO_MODE=${REPO_MODE:-unknown}`. Regenerated all SKILL.md files.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: triage E2E runs both test files in subprocesses

math.test.js called process.exit(1) which killed the runner before
string.test.js could execute. Changed test runner to use child_process
so each test runs independently and both failure classes are exercised.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: gstack-repo-mode handles repos without origin remote

Fall back through origin/main → origin/master → HEAD when
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD is not set. Prevents
shortlog crash in repos where origin/HEAD isn't configured.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: triage E2E runs both test files in subprocesses

Add assertions verifying both math.test.js (pre-existing failure) and
string.test.js (in-branch failure) actually executed during triage.
Prevents false passes where only one failure class is exercised.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: REPO_MODE defaults to unknown when helper emits nothing

- Remove head -20 truncation that biased solo classification by
  dropping low-volume contributors from the denominator
- Use atomic write (mktemp + mv) for cache to prevent concurrent
  preamble reads from seeing partial JSON

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add test coverage catalog to CHANGELOG + update project structure

- CHANGELOG: add 6 entries for coverage audit, review Step 4.75, E2E
  recommendations, regression iron rule, failure triage, repo-mode fix
- CLAUDE.md: add missing skill directories (autoplan, benchmark, canary,
  codex, land-and-deploy, setup-deploy) to project structure

feat: plan file review report + enriched JSONL logging (v0.9.7.0) (#303)

* feat: plan file review report — markdown table appended to plan files

Adds {{PLAN_FILE_REVIEW_REPORT}} template resolver that instructs review
skills to write a structured markdown table (with Trigger/Why/Status/Findings
columns) to the plan file itself, so review status is visible to anyone
reading the plan — not just in conversation output.

Integrated into plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review, plan-design-review, and
codex skill templates.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: enrich JSONL review logs for accurate plan file report

CEO reviews now log scope_proposed/accepted/deferred counts,
eng reviews log total issues_found, design reviews log initial_score
for before→after tracking, and codex reviews log findings_fixed.

Report generator references these fields directly instead of
requiring agents to reconstruct from partial data. Also fixes
footer replacement to handle mid-file sections robustly.

feat: Search Before Building — builder ethos + skill integrations (v0.9.5.0) (#298)

* feat: ETHOS.md — gstack builder philosophy

Standalone document capturing the four principles: The Golden Age,
Boil the Lake, Search Before Building, and Build for Yourself.

Introduces the three-layer knowledge framework (tried-and-true,
new-and-popular, first-principles) and the Eureka Moment concept —
when first-principles reasoning reveals conventional wisdom is wrong.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: Search Before Building preamble section + CLAUDE.md

Add generateSearchBeforeBuildingSection(ctx) to gen-skill-docs.ts.
Every workflow skill now gets a compact router section covering:
- Three layers of knowledge (tried-and-true, new-and-popular, first-principles)
- Eureka moment format and jq-based JSONL logging
- WebSearch fallback clause
- ETHOS.md reference via ctx.paths.skillRoot resolver

Also adds compact "Search before building" section to CLAUDE.md.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: skill-specific Search Before Building integrations

8 template changes:
- /office-hours: Phase 2.75 Landscape Awareness (WebSearch + three-layer synthesis)
- /plan-eng-review: Step 0 search check with layer provenance annotations
- /investigate: external pattern search + search escalation on hypothesis failure
- /plan-ceo-review: Landscape Check before scope challenge
- /review: search-before-recommending for fix patterns
- /qa-only: WebSearch in allowed-tools
- /design-consultation: three-layer synthesis backport in Phase 2 Step 3
- /retro: eureka moment tracking from ~/.gstack/analytics/eureka.jsonl

All search steps include WebSearch fallback clause.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: v0.9.5.0 — Builder Ethos (CHANGELOG + VERSION + TODOS)

ETHOS.md + Search Before Building across all workflow skills.
Deferred: first-time intro flow (blocked on blog post).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: address Codex review — sanitize search, privacy gate, ETHOS.md sidecar

Three fixes from adversarial Codex review:
- /investigate: sanitize error messages before searching (strip hostnames,
  IPs, file paths, SQL, customer data). Skip search if unsanitizable.
- /office-hours: add privacy gate before landscape search. Use generalized
  category terms, never the user's specific product name or stealth idea.
- setup: link ETHOS.md into .agents/skills/gstack/ sidecar so workspace-
  local Codex sessions can find the builder philosophy.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: sanitize Phase 2 external pattern search in /investigate

The Phase 2 external search also sent raw error messages to WebSearch.
Apply same sanitization rule as Phase 3 search escalation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: sync documentation with shipped changes

- ARCHITECTURE.md: preamble now handles 5 things (add Search Before Building)
- CLAUDE.md: add ETHOS.md to project structure tree
- README.md: add ETHOS.md to docs table

feat: adversarial spec review loop + skill chaining (v0.9.1.0) (#249)

* feat: add {{SPEC_REVIEW_LOOP}}, {{DESIGN_SKETCH}}, benefits-from resolvers

Three new resolvers in gen-skill-docs.ts:

- {{SPEC_REVIEW_LOOP}}: adversarial subagent reviews documents on 5
  dimensions (completeness, consistency, clarity, scope, feasibility)
  with convergence guard, quality score, and JSONL metrics
- {{DESIGN_SKETCH}}: generates rough HTML wireframes for UI ideas using
  DESIGN.md constraints and design principles, renders via $B
- {{BENEFITS_FROM}}: parses benefits-from frontmatter and generates
  skill chaining offer prose (one-hop-max, never blocks)

Also extends TemplateContext with benefitsFrom field and adds inline
YAML frontmatter parsing for the new field.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: /office-hours spec review loop + visual sketch phases

- Phase 4.5 ({{DESIGN_SKETCH}}): for UI ideas, generates rough HTML
  wireframe using design principles from {{DESIGN_METHODOLOGY}} and
  DESIGN.md, renders via $B, presents screenshot for iteration
- Phase 5.5 ({{SPEC_REVIEW_LOOP}}): adversarial subagent reviews the
  design doc before user sees it — catches gaps in completeness,
  consistency, clarity, scope, and feasibility
- Adds {{BROWSE_SETUP}} for $B availability in sketch phase

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: skill chaining — plan reviews offer /office-hours

- plan-ceo-review: benefits-from office-hours, offers /office-hours when
  no design doc found, mid-session detection when user seems lost,
  spec review loop on CEO plan documents
- plan-eng-review: benefits-from office-hours, offers /office-hours when
  no design doc found
- One-hop-max chaining: never blocks, max one offer per session

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add validation + E2E tests for spec review, sketch, benefits-from

Unit tests (32 new assertions):
- SPEC_REVIEW_LOOP: 5 dimensions, Agent dispatch, 3 iterations, quality
  score, metrics path, convergence guard, graceful failure
- DESIGN_SKETCH: DESIGN.md awareness, wireframe, $B goto/screenshot,
  rough aesthetic, skip conditions
- BENEFITS_FROM: prerequisite offer in CEO + eng review, graceful
  decline, skills without benefits-from don't get offer
- office-hours structure: spec review loop, adversarial dimensions,
  visual sketch section

E2E tests (2 new):
- office-hours-spec-review: verifies agent understands the spec review
  loop from SKILL.md
- plan-ceo-review-benefits: verifies agent understands the skill
  chaining offer

Touchfiles updated for diff-based test selection.

fix: plan mode exception for review log + telemetry writes (v0.9.0.1) (#234)

* fix: plan mode exception for review log + telemetry writes

Add explicit plan-mode exception notes to review log sections in all
3 plan review skill templates and the telemetry section in gen-skill-docs.ts.
When Claude runs in plan mode, it self-censors bash writes — but review
logging and telemetry write to ~/.gstack/ (user metadata, not project
files). The preamble already writes to the same directory successfully.
The exception note gives Claude a reasoning chain: safety argument,
precedent, and consequence of skipping.

* chore: regenerate Codex/agents SKILL.md files with plan-mode exception

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.9.0.1)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: community-first telemetry opt-in with anonymous fallback

Default opt-in is now "Help gstack get better!" (community mode with
stable device ID). If declined, offers anonymous mode as a softer
alternative before fully off.

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files with community-first telemetry prompt

fix: atomic review log helpers + platform-agnostic templates (v0.8.5) (#209)

* fix: add gstack-review-log and gstack-review-read atomic helpers

Branch names with `/` break review log filepaths when Claude Code runs
multi-line bash blocks as separate shell invocations. These two scripts
encapsulate the full operation in a single command.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: replace multi-line eval+mkdir+echo blocks with atomic helpers

- Review log writes now use gstack-review-log (single command)
- Review dashboard reads now use gstack-review-read (single command)
- Remaining source+mkdir blocks use && chaining for variable persistence
- Regenerated all SKILL.md files

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: remove Rails-isms — platform-agnostic templates and checklist

- review/checklist.md: multi-framework examples (Rails/Node/Python/Django)
- plan-ceo-review: framework-agnostic grep + generic error table
- plan-eng-review: "corresponding test" not "JS or Rails test"
- CLAUDE.md: Platform-agnostic design principle + Testing section

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: update tests for gstack-review-log/read helpers

- codex review log test: check for gstack-review-log instead of reviews.jsonl

fix: security hardening + issue triage (v0.8.3) (#205)

* fix: check for bun before running setup (#147)

Users without bun installed got a cryptic "command not found" error.
Now prints a clear message with install instructions.

Closes #147

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: block SSRF via URL validation in browse commands (#17)

Adds validateNavigationUrl() that blocks non-HTTP(S) schemes (file://,
javascript:, data:) and cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254,
metadata.google.internal). Applied to goto, diff, and newTab commands.
Localhost and private IPs remain allowed for local dev QA.

Closes #17

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: replace eval $(gstack-slug) with source <(...) (#133)

Eliminates unnecessary use of eval across all skill templates and
generated files. source <(...) has identical behavior without the
shell injection surface. Also hardens gstack-diff-scope usage.

Closes #133

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: rename /debug to /investigate to avoid Claude Code conflict (#190)

Claude Code has a built-in /debug command that shadows the gstack skill.
Renaming to /investigate which better reflects the systematic root-cause
investigation methodology.

Closes #190

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add unit tests for path validation helpers

validateOutputPath() and validateReadPath() are security-critical
functions with zero test coverage. Adds 14 tests covering safe paths,
traversal attacks, and prefix collision edge cases.

/debug skill name after the rename.

* fix: harden URL validation against hostname bypasses (Codex P1)

Codex review found that metadata IPs could be reached via hex
(0xA9FEA9FE), decimal (2852039166), octal, trailing dot, and IPv6
bracket forms. Now normalizes hostnames before checking the blocklist
and probes numeric IP representations via URL constructor.

Also moves URL validation before page allocation in newTab() to
prevent zombie tabs on rejection (Codex P3).

5 new test cases for bypass variants.

feat: review chaining + commit hash staleness tracking (v0.8.3) (#206)

* feat: review chaining + commit hash staleness tracking

Each plan review skill now suggests the next review via AskUserQuestion:
- CEO review → eng review (required gate) + design review (if UI scope)
- Design review → eng review + CEO review (if product gaps)
- Eng review → design review (if UI changes) + CEO review (soft suggestion)

Reviews now track HEAD commit hash in JSONL entries for deterministic
staleness detection. Dashboard compares stored hash against current HEAD
and reports drift. Respects skip_eng_review config in chaining logic.

Also adds commit tracking to design-review-lite entries.

feat: /codex skill — multi-AI second opinion + proactive suggestions (#197)

* feat: /codex skill — multi-AI second opinion (review, challenge, consult)

Three modes: code review with pass/fail gate, adversarial challenge mode,
and conversational consult with session continuity. First multi-AI skill
in gstack, wrapping OpenAI's Codex CLI.

* feat: integrate /codex into /review, /ship, /plan-eng-review + dashboard

/review offers Codex second opinion after completing its own review.
/ship offers Codex review as optional gate before pushing.
/plan-eng-review offers Codex plan critique after scope challenge.
Review Readiness Dashboard shows Codex Review as optional row.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.8.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: codex skill validation (12 stub tests) + E2E eval test

Stub tests (free tier): verify template content — three modes, gate verdict,
session continuity, cost tracking, cross-model comparison, binary discovery,
error handling, mktemp usage, and integrations into /review, /ship, /plan-eng-review.

E2E test (paid tier): runs /codex review on vulnerable fixture repo via
session-runner, verifies output contains findings and GATE verdict.

* fix: codex auth error message — use codex login, not OPENAI_API_KEY

Codex authenticates via ChatGPT OAuth (codex login), not an env var.

* feat: codex uses high reasoning effort by default

gpt-5.2-codex is the only model available with ChatGPT login.
All commands now use model_reasoning_effort="high" for maximum
depth — the whole point is a thorough second opinion.

* feat: crank codex reasoning to xhigh (maximum)

* feat: per-mode reasoning (high for review/consult, xhigh for challenge) + web search

Review and consult use high reasoning — thorough but not slow.
Challenge (adversarial) uses xhigh — maximum depth for breaking code.
All modes enable web_search_cached so Codex can look up docs/APIs.

* refactor: don't hardcode model — use codex default (always latest)

* feat: JSONL output for codex challenge + consult modes

Use --json flag to parse codex's JSONL events, extracting reasoning
traces ([codex thinking]), tool calls ([codex ran]), and token counts.
This gives richer output than the -o flag alone — you can see what
codex thought through before its answer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: only persist codex-review log when code review actually ran

Don't write a codex-review entry to reviews.jsonl when only the
adversarial challenge (option B) was selected — there's no gate
verdict to record, and a false entry misleads the Review Readiness
Dashboard into thinking a code review happened.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add codex plan review option to /plan-eng-review

After scope challenge (Step 0), offer to have Codex independently
review the plan with a brutally honest tech reviewer persona.

* test: update e2e test for codex skill

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: codex integration bugs — plan content, review persistence, quoting, stderr

- plan-eng-review: Codex now reads the plan file itself instead of inlining
  content as a CLI arg (avoids ARG_MAX for large plans)
- review: add missing echo to persist codex-review results to reviews.jsonl
- codex: consult mode uses $TMPERR (mktemp) instead of hardcoded stderr path
- codex + review: quote $SLUG/$BRANCH_SLUG in review log paths
- codex: scope plan lookup to current project, warn on cross-project fallback

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: add .context/ to .gitignore to prevent session ID leaks

Codex consult mode stores session IDs in .context/codex-session-id.
Without this ignore rule, session IDs could leak into commits.

* feat: proactive skill suggestions + opt-out + trigger phrase tests

- Preamble reads proactive config via gstack-config
- Root SKILL.md.tmpl has lifecycle map (stage → skill suggestion)
- Users can opt out ("stop suggesting") / opt in ("be proactive again")
- Restored trigger phrase validation tests (16 skills × "Use when" check)
- Added missing "Use when" trigger phrases to /debug and /office-hours

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)

6000af45 — Garry Tan a month ago
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.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.6.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* 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

- README.md: added /office-hours and /debug to skills table, updated

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/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

  tests, test health, completeness gaps)
- Updated demo transcript with AUTO-FIXED, coverage audit, regression test

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: remove "competitor" language, rewrite README in Garry's voice

Replace "browses competitors" with "knows the landscape" / "what's out

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).

* 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: always-full eng review + ship review gate persistence (v0.5.4) (#135)

Remove SMALL/BIG CHANGE menu from /plan-eng-review — every plan gets the
full interactive review. Scope reduction is now proactive (only when
complexity check triggers) rather than a menu item.

Add review gate override persistence to /ship — when the user says "ship
anyway" or "not relevant", that decision is saved to the branch's
reviews.jsonl so subsequent /ship runs don't re-ask.

- ELI16 mode when 3+ concurrent sessions detected (re-ground user on context)
- Contributor mode: auto-file field reports to ~/.gstack/contributor-logs/
- Universal AskUserQuestion format: context → question → RECOMMENDATION → options
- Update plan-ceo-review and plan-eng-review to reference preamble baseline

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.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add E2E eval for session awareness ELI16 mode

Stubs _SESSIONS=4, gives agent a decision point on feature/add-payments

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* 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.
