feat: community wave — 7 fixes, relink, sidebar Write, discoverability (v0.13.5.0) (#641)

* test: add 16 failing tests for 6 community fixes

Tests-first for all fixes in this PR wave:
- #594 discoverability: gstack tag in descriptions, 120-char first line
- #573 feature signals: ship/SKILL.md Step 4 detection
- #510 context warnings: no preemptive warnings in generated files
- #474 Safety Net: no find -delete in generated files
- #467 telemetry: JSONL writes gated by _TEL conditional
- #584 sidebar: Write in allowedTools, stderr capture
- #578 relink: prefixed/flat symlinks, cleanup, error, config hook

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

* fix: replace find -delete with find -exec rm for Safety Net (#474)

-delete is a non-POSIX extension that fails on Safety Net environments.
-exec rm {} + is POSIX-compliant and works everywhere.

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

* fix: gate local JSONL writes by telemetry setting (#467)

When telemetry is off, nothing is written anywhere — not just remote,
but local JSONL too. Clean trust contract: off means off everywhere.

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

* fix: remove preemptive context warnings from plan-eng-review (#510)

The system handles context compaction automatically. Preemptive warnings
waste tokens and create false urgency. Skills should not warn about
context limits — just describe the compression priority order.

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

* feat: add (gstack) tag to skill descriptions for discoverability (#594)

Every SKILL.md.tmpl description now contains "gstack" on the last line,
making skills findable in Claude Code's command palette. First-line hooks
stay under 120 chars. Split ship description to fix wrapping.

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

* feat: auto-relink skill symlinks on prefix config change (#578)

New bin/gstack-relink creates prefixed (gstack-*) or flat symlinks
based on skill_prefix config. gstack-config auto-triggers relink
when skill_prefix changes. Setup guards against recursive calls
with GSTACK_SETUP_RUNNING env var.

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

* feat: add feature signal detection to version bump heuristic (#573)

/ship Step 4 now checks for feature signals (new routes, migrations,
test+source pairs, feat/ branches) when deciding version bumps.
PATCH requires no feature signals. MINOR asks the user if any signal
is detected or 500+ lines changed.

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

* feat: sidebar Write tool, stderr capture, cross-platform URL opener (#584)

Add Write to sidebar allowedTools (both sidebar-agent.ts and server.ts).
Write doesn't expand attack surface beyond what Bash already provides.
Replace empty stderr handler with buffer capture for better error
diagnostics. New bin/gstack-open-url for cross-platform URL opening.

Does NOT include Search Before Building intro flow (deferred).

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

* fix: update sidebar-security test for Write tool addition

The fallback allowedTools string now includes Write, matching the
sidebar-agent.ts change from commit 68dc957.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.13.5.0)

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

* fix: prevent gstack-relink from double-prefixing gstack-upgrade

gstack-relink now checks if a skill directory is already named gstack-*
before prepending the prefix. Previously, setting skill_prefix=true would
create gstack-gstack-upgrade, breaking the /gstack-upgrade command.

Matches setup script behavior (setup:260) which already has this guard.

* chore: add double-prefix fix to changelog

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

* chore: remove .factory/ from git tracking and add to .gitignore

Generated Factory Droid skills are build output, same as .agents/.
They should not be committed to the repo.

feat: design binary — real UI mockup generation for gstack skills (v0.13.0.0) (#551)

* docs: design tools v1 plan — visual mockup generation for gstack skills

Full design doc covering the `design` binary that wraps OpenAI's GPT Image API
to generate real UI mockups from gstack's design skills. Includes comparison
board UX spec, auth model, 6 CEO expansions (design memory, mockup diffing,
screenshot evolution, design intent verification, responsive variants,
design-to-code prompt), and 9-commit implementation plan.

Reviewed: /office-hours + /plan-eng-review (CLEARED) + /plan-ceo-review
(EXPANSION, 6/6 accepted) + /plan-design-review (2/10 → 8/10).

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

* feat: design tools prototype validation — GPT Image API works

Prototype script sends 3 design briefs to OpenAI Responses API with
image_generation tool. Results: dashboard (47s, 2.1MB), landing page
(42s, 1.3MB), settings page (37s, 1.3MB) all produce real, implementable
UI mockups with accurate text rendering and clean layouts.

Key finding: Codex OAuth tokens lack image generation scopes. Direct
API key (sk-proj-*) required, stored in ~/.gstack/openai.json.

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

* feat: design binary core — generate, check, compare commands

Stateless CLI (design/dist/design) wrapping OpenAI Responses API for
UI mockup generation. Three working commands:

- generate: brief -> PNG mockup via gpt-4o + image_generation tool
- check: vision-based quality gate via GPT-4o (text readability, layout
  completeness, visual coherence)
- compare: generates self-contained HTML comparison board with star
  ratings, radio Pick, per-variant feedback, regenerate controls,
  and Submit button that writes structured JSON for agent polling

Auth reads from ~/.gstack/openai.json (0600), falls back to
OPENAI_API_KEY env var. Compiled separately from browse binary
(openai added to devDependencies, not runtime deps).

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

* feat: design binary variants + iterate commands

variants: generates N style variations with staggered parallel (1.5s
between launches, exponential backoff on 429). 7 built-in style
variations (bold, calm, warm, corporate, dark, playful + default).
Tested: 3/3 variants in 41.6s.

iterate: multi-turn design iteration using previous_response_id for
conversational threading. Falls back to re-generation with accumulated
feedback if threading doesn't retain visual context.

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

* feat: DESIGN_SETUP + DESIGN_MOCKUP template resolvers

Add generateDesignSetup() and generateDesignMockup() to the existing
design.ts resolver file. Add designDir to HostPaths (claude + codex).
Register DESIGN_SETUP and DESIGN_MOCKUP in the resolver index.

DESIGN_SETUP: $D binary discovery (mirrors $B browse setup pattern).
Falls back to DESIGN_SKETCH if binary not available.

DESIGN_MOCKUP: full visual exploration workflow template — construct
brief from DESIGN.md context, generate 3 variants, open comparison
board in Chrome, poll for user feedback, save approved mockup to
docs/designs/, generate HTML wireframe for implementation.

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

* fix: sync package.json version with VERSION file (0.12.2.0)

Pre-existing mismatch: VERSION was 0.12.2.0 but package.json was
0.12.0.0. Also adds design binary to build script and dev:design
convenience command.

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

* feat: /office-hours visual design exploration integration

Add {{DESIGN_MOCKUP}} to office-hours template before the existing
{{DESIGN_SKETCH}}. When the design binary is available, /office-hours
generates 3 visual mockup variants, opens a comparison board in Chrome,
and polls for user feedback. Falls back to HTML wireframes if the
design binary isn't built.

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

* feat: /plan-design-review visual mockup integration

Add {{DESIGN_SETUP}} to pre-review audit and "show me what 10/10
looks like" mockup generation to the 0-10 rating method. When a
design dimension rates below 7/10, the review can generate a mockup
showing the improved version. Falls back to text descriptions if
the design binary isn't available.

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

* feat: design memory — extract visual language from mockups into DESIGN.md

New `$D extract` command: sends approved mockup to GPT-4o vision,
extracts color palette, typography, spacing, and layout patterns,
writes/updates DESIGN.md with an "Extracted Design Language" section.

Progressive constraint: if DESIGN.md exists, future mockup briefs
include it as style context. If no DESIGN.md, explorations run wide.
readDesignConstraints() reads existing DESIGN.md for brief construction.

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

* feat: mockup diffing + design intent verification

New commands:
- $D diff --before old.png --after new.png: visual diff using GPT-4o
  vision. Returns differences by area with severity (high/medium/low)
  and a matchScore (0-100).
- $D verify --mockup approved.png --screenshot live.png: compares live
  site screenshot against approved design mockup. Pass if matchScore
  >= 70 and no high-severity differences.

Used by /design-review to close the design loop: design -> implement ->
verify visually.

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

* feat: screenshot-to-mockup evolution ($D evolve)

New command: $D evolve --screenshot current.png --brief "make it calmer"

Two-step process: first analyzes the screenshot via GPT-4o vision to
produce a detailed description, then generates a new mockup that keeps
the existing layout structure but applies the requested changes. Starts
from reality, not blank canvas.

Bridges the gap between /design-review critique ("the spacing is off")
and a visual proposal of the fix.

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

* feat: responsive variants + design-to-code prompt

Responsive variants: $D variants --viewports desktop,tablet,mobile
generates mockups at 1536x1024, 1024x1024, and 1024x1536 (portrait)
with viewport-appropriate layout instructions.

Design-to-code prompt: $D prompt --image approved.png extracts colors,
typography, layout, and components via GPT-4o vision, producing a
structured implementation prompt. Reads DESIGN.md for additional
constraint context.

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

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.13.0.0)

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

* feat: gstack designer as first-class tool in /plan-design-review

Brand the gstack designer prominently, add Step 0.5 for proactive visual
mockup generation before review passes, and update priority hierarchy.
When a plan describes new UI, the skill now offers to generate mockups
with $D variants, run $D check for quality gating, and present a
comparison board via $B goto before any review passes begin.

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

* feat: integrate mockups into review passes and outputs

Thread Step 0.5 mockups through the review workflow: Pass 4 (AI Slop)
evaluates generated mockups visually, Pass 7 uses mockups as evidence
for unresolved decisions, post-pass offers one-shot regeneration after
design changes, and Approved Mockups section records chosen variants
with paths for the implementer.

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

* feat: gstack designer target mockups in /design-review fix loop

Add $D generate for target mockups in Phase 8a.5 — before fixing a
design finding, generate a mockup showing what it should look like.
Add $D verify in Phase 9 to compare fix results against targets.
Not plan mode — goes straight to implementation.

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

* feat: gstack designer AI mockups in /design-consultation Phase 5

Replace HTML preview with $D variants + comparison board when designer
is available (Path A). Use $D extract to derive DESIGN.md tokens from
the approved mockup. Handles both plan mode (write to plan) and
non-plan mode (implement immediately). Falls back to HTML preview
(Path B) when designer binary is unavailable.

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

* fix: make gstack designer the default in /plan-design-review, not optional

The transcript showed the agent writing 5 text descriptions of homepage
variants instead of generating visual mockups, even when the user explicitly
asked for design tools. The skill treated mockups as optional ("Want me to
generate?") when they should be the default behavior.

Changes:
- Rename "Your Visual Design Tool" to "YOUR PRIMARY TOOL" with aggressive
  language: "Don't ask permission. Show it."
- Step 0.5 now generates mockups automatically when DESIGN_READY, no
  AskUserQuestion gatekeeping the default path
- Priority hierarchy: mockups are "non-negotiable" not "if available"
- Step 0D tells the user mockups are coming next
- DESIGN_NOT_AVAILABLE fallback now tells user what they're missing

The only valid reasons to skip mockups: no UI scope, or designer not
installed. Everything else generates by default.

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

* feat: persist design mockups to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/

Mockups were going to .context/mockups/ (gitignored, workspace-local).
This meant designs disappeared when switching workspaces or conversations,
and downstream skills couldn't reference approved mockups from earlier
reviews.

Now all three design skills save to persistent project-scoped dirs:
- /plan-design-review: ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/<screen>-<date>/
- /design-consultation: ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/design-system-<date>/
- /design-review: ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/design-audit-<date>/

Each directory gets an approved.json recording the user's pick, feedback,
and branch. This lets /design-review verify against mockups that
/plan-design-review approved, and design history is browsable via
ls ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/.

* chore: regenerate codex ship skill with zsh glob guards

Picked up setopt +o nomatch guards from main's v0.12.8.1 merge.

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

* feat: add browse binary discovery to DESIGN_SETUP resolver

The design setup block now discovers $B alongside $D, so skills can
open comparison boards via $B goto and poll feedback via $B eval.
Falls back to `open` on macOS when browse binary is unavailable.

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

* feat: comparison board DOM polling in plan-design-review

After opening the comparison board, the agent now polls
#status via $B eval instead of asking a rigid AskUserQuestion.
Handles submit (read structured JSON feedback), regenerate
(new variants with updated brief), and $B-unavailable fallback
(free-form text response). The user interacts with the real
board UI, not a constrained option picker.

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

* test: comparison board feedback loop integration test

16 tests covering the full DOM polling cycle: structure verification,
submit with pick/rating/comment, regenerate flows (totally different,
more like this, custom text), and the agent polling pattern
(empty → submitted → read JSON). Uses real generateCompareHtml()
from design/src/compare.ts, served via HTTP. Runs in <1s.

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

* feat: add $D serve command for HTTP-based comparison board feedback

The comparison board feedback loop was fundamentally broken: browse blocks
file:// URLs (url-validation.ts:71), so $B goto file://board.html always
fails. The fallback open + $B eval polls a different browser instance.

$D serve fixes this by serving the board over HTTP on localhost. The server
is stateful: stays alive across regeneration rounds, exposes /api/progress
for the board to poll, and accepts /api/reload from the agent to swap in
new board HTML. Stdout carries feedback JSON only; stderr carries telemetry.

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

* feat: dual-mode feedback + post-submit lifecycle in comparison board

When __GSTACK_SERVER_URL is set (injected by $D serve), the board POSTs
feedback to the server instead of only writing to hidden DOM elements.
After submit: disables all inputs, shows "Return to your coding agent."
After regenerate: shows spinner, polls /api/progress, auto-refreshes on
ready. On POST failure: shows copyable JSON fallback. On progress timeout
(5 min): shows error with /design-shotgun prompt. DOM fallback preserved
for headed browser mode and tests.

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

* test: HTTP serve command endpoints and regeneration lifecycle

11 tests covering: HTML serving with injected server URL, /api/progress
state reporting, submit → done lifecycle, regenerate → regenerating state,
remix with remixSpec, malformed JSON rejection, /api/reload HTML swapping,
missing file validation, and full regenerate → reload → submit round-trip.

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

* feat: add DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP resolver + fix design artifact paths

Adds generateDesignShotgunLoop() resolver for the shared comparison board
feedback loop (serve via HTTP, handle regenerate/remix, AskUserQuestion
fallback, feedback confirmation). Registered as {{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}}.

Fixes generateDesignMockup() to use ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/
instead of /tmp/ and docs/designs/. Replaces broken $B goto file:// +
$B eval polling with $D compare --serve (HTTP-based, stdout feedback).

Adds CRITICAL PATH RULE guardrail to DESIGN_SETUP: design artifacts must
go to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/, never .context/ or /tmp/.

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

* feat: add /design-shotgun standalone design exploration skill

New skill for visual brainstorming: generate AI design variants, open a
comparison board in the user's browser, collect structured feedback, and
iterate. Features: session detection (revisit prior explorations), 5-dimension
context gathering (who, job to be done, what exists, user flow, edge cases),
taste memory (prior approved designs bias new generations), inline variant
preview, configurable variant count, screenshot-to-variants via $D evolve.

Uses {{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}} resolver for the feedback loop. Saves all
artifacts to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/.

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

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for design-shotgun + resolver changes

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

* feat: add remix UI to comparison board

Per-variant element selectors (Layout, Colors, Typography, Spacing) with
radio buttons in a grid. Remix button collects selections into a remixSpec
object and sends via the same HTTP POST feedback mechanism. Enabled only
when at least one element is selected. Board shows regenerating spinner
while agent generates the hybrid variant.

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

* feat: add $D gallery command for design history timeline

Generates a self-contained HTML page showing all prior design explorations
for a project: every variant (approved or not), feedback notes, organized
by date (newest first). Images embedded as base64. Handles corrupted
approved.json gracefully (skips, still shows the session). Empty state
shows "No history yet" with /design-shotgun prompt.

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

* test: gallery generation — sessions, dates, corruption, empty state

7 tests: empty dir, nonexistent dir, single session with approved variant,
multiple sessions sorted newest-first, corrupted approved.json handled
gracefully, session without approved.json, self-contained HTML (no
external dependencies).

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

* refactor: replace broken file:// polling with {{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}}

plan-design-review and design-consultation templates previously used
$B goto file:// + $B eval polling for the comparison board feedback loop.
This was broken (browse blocks file:// URLs). Both templates now use
{{DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP}} which serves via HTTP, handles regeneration in
the same browser tab, and falls back to AskUserQuestion.

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

* test: add design-shotgun touchfile entries and tier classifications

design-shotgun-path (gate): verify artifacts go to ~/.gstack/, not .context/
design-shotgun-session (gate): verify repeat-run detection + AskUserQuestion
design-shotgun-full (periodic): full round-trip with real design binary

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

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for template refactor

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

* feat: comparison board UI improvements — option headers, pick confirmation, grid view

Three changes to the design comparison board:

1. Pick confirmation: selecting "Pick" on Option A shows "We'll move
   forward with Option A" in green, plus a status line above the submit
   button repeating the choice.

2. Clear option headers: each variant now has "Option A" in bold with a
   subtitle above the image, instead of just the raw image.

3. View toggle: top-right Large/Grid buttons switch between single-column
   (default) and 3-across grid view.

Also restructured the bottom section into a 2-column grid: submit/overall
feedback on the left, regenerate controls on the right.

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

* fix: use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost for serve URL

Avoids DNS resolution issues on some systems where localhost may resolve
to IPv6 ::1 while Bun listens on IPv4 only.

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

* fix: write ALL feedback to disk so agent can poll in background mode

The agent backgrounds $D serve (Claude Code can't block on a subprocess
and do other work simultaneously). With stdout-only feedback delivery,
the agent never sees regenerate/remix feedback.

Fix: write feedback-pending.json (regenerate/remix) and feedback.json
(submit) to disk next to the board HTML. Agent polls the filesystem
instead of reading stdout. Both channels (stdout + disk) are always
active so foreground mode still works.

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

* feat: DESIGN_SHOTGUN_LOOP uses file polling instead of stdout reading

Update the template resolver to instruct the agent to background $D serve
and poll for feedback-pending.json / feedback.json on a 5-second loop.
This matches the real-world pattern where Claude Code / Conductor agents
can't block on subprocess stdout.

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for file-polling feedback loop

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

* fix: null-safe DOM selectors for post-submit and regenerating states

The user's layout restructure renamed .regenerate-bar → .regen-column,
.submit-bar → .submit-column, and .overall-section → .bottom-section.
The JS still referenced the old class names, causing querySelector to
return null and showPostSubmitState() / showRegeneratingState() to
silently crash. This meant Submit and Regenerate buttons appeared to
work (DOM elements updated, HTTP POST succeeded) but the visual
feedback (disabled inputs, spinner, success message) never appeared.

Fix: use fallback selectors that check both old and new class names,
with null guards so a missing element doesn't crash the function.

* test: end-to-end feedback roundtrip — browser click to file on disk

The test that proves "changes on the website propagate to Claude Code."
Opens the comparison board in a real headless browser with __GSTACK_SERVER_URL
injected, simulates user clicks (Submit, Regenerate, More Like This), and
verifies that feedback.json / feedback-pending.json land on disk with the
correct structured data.

6 tests covering: submit → feedback.json, post-submit UI lockdown,
regenerate → feedback-pending.json, more-like-this → feedback-pending.json,
regenerate spinner display, and full regen → reload → submit round-trip.

* docs: comprehensive design doc for Design Shotgun feedback loop

Documents the full browser-to-agent feedback architecture: state machine,
file-based polling, port discovery, post-submit lifecycle, and every known
edge case (zombie forms, dead servers, stale spinners, file:// bug,
double-click races, port coordination, sequential generate rule).

Includes ASCII diagrams of the data flow and state transitions, complete
step-by-step walkthrough of happy path and regeneration path, test coverage
map with gaps, and short/medium/long-term improvement ideas.

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

* fix: plan-design-review agent guardrails for feedback loop

Four fixes to prevent agents from reinventing the feedback loop badly:

1. Sequential generate rule: explicit instruction that $D generate calls
   must run one at a time (API rate-limits concurrent image generation).
2. No-AskUserQuestion-for-feedback rule: agent reads feedback.json instead
   of re-asking what the user picked.
3. Remove file:// references: $B goto file:// was always rejected by
   url-validation.ts. The --serve flag handles everything.
4. Remove $B eval polling reference: no longer needed with HTTP POST.

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

* fix: design-shotgun Step 3 progressive reveal, silent failure detection, timing estimate

Three production UX bugs fixed:
1. Dead air — now shows timing estimate before generation starts
2. Silent variant drop — replaced $D variants batch with individual $D generate
   calls, each verified for existence and non-zero size with retry
3. No progressive reveal — each variant shown inline via Read tool immediately
   after generation (~60s increments instead of all at ~180s)

Also: /tmp/ then cp as default output pattern (sandbox workaround),
screenshot taken once for evolve path (not per-variant).

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

* feat: parallel design-shotgun with concept-first confirmation

Step 3 rewritten to concept-first + parallel Agent architecture:
- 3a: generate text concepts (free, instant)
- 3b: AskUserQuestion to confirm/modify before spending API credits
- 3c: launch N Agent subagents in parallel (~60s total regardless of count)
- 3d: show all results, dynamic image list for comparison board

Adds Agent to allowed-tools. Softens plan-design-review sequential
warning to note design-shotgun uses parallel at Tier 2+.

* docs: update project documentation for v0.13.0.0

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

* chore: untrack .agents/skills/ — generated at setup, already gitignored

These files were committed despite .agents/ being in .gitignore.
They regenerate from ./setup --host codex on any machine.

* chore: regenerate design-shotgun SKILL.md for v0.12.12.0 preamble changes

feat: headed mode + sidebar agent + Chrome extension (v0.12.0) (#517)

* feat: CDP connect — control real Chrome/Comet via Playwright

Add `connectCDP()` to BrowserManager: connects to a running browser via
Chrome DevTools Protocol. All existing browse commands work unchanged
through Playwright's abstraction layer.

- chrome-launcher.ts: browser discovery, CDP probe, auto-relaunch with rollback
- browser-manager.ts: connectCDP(), mode guards (close/closeTab/recreateContext/handoff),
  auto-reconnect on browser restart, getRefMap() for extension API
- server.ts: CDP branch in start(), /health gains mode field, /refs endpoint,
  idle timer only resets on /command (not passive endpoints)

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

* feat: browse connect/disconnect/focus CLI commands

- connect: pre-server command that discovers browser, starts server in CDP mode
- disconnect: drops CDP connection, restarts in headless mode
- focus: brings browser window to foreground via osascript (macOS)
- status: now shows Mode: cdp | launched | headed
- startServer() accepts extra env vars for CDP URL/port passthrough

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

* feat: CDP-aware skill templates — skip cookie import in real browser mode

Skills now check `$B status` for CDP mode and skip:
- /qa: cookie import prompt, user-agent override, headless workarounds
- /design-review: cookie import for authenticated pages
- /setup-browser-cookies: returns "not needed" in CDP mode

Regenerated SKILL.md files from updated templates.

* feat: activity streaming — SSE endpoint for Chrome extension Side Panel

Real-time browse command feed via Server-Sent Events:
- activity.ts: ActivityEntry type, CircularBuffer (capacity 1000), privacy
  filtering (redacts passwords, auth tokens, sensitive URL params),
  cursor-based gap detection, async subscriber notification
- server.ts: /activity/stream SSE, /activity/history REST, handleCommand
  instrumented with command_start/command_end events
- 18 unit tests for filterArgs privacy, emitActivity, subscribe lifecycle

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

* feat: Chrome extension Side Panel + Conductor API proposal

Chrome extension (Manifest V3, sideload):
- Side Panel with live activity feed, @ref overlays, dark terminal aesthetic
- Background worker: health polling, SSE relay, ref fetching
- Popup: port config, connection status, side panel launcher
- Content script: floating ref panel with @ref badges

Conductor API proposal (docs/designs/CONDUCTOR_SESSION_API.md):
- SSE endpoint for full Claude Code session mirroring in Side Panel
- Discovery via HTTP endpoint (not filesystem — extensions can't read files)

TODOS.md: add $B watch, multi-agent tabs, cross-platform CDP, Web Store publishing.
Mark CDP mode as shipped.

* fix: detect Conductor runtime, skip osascript quit for sandboxed apps

macOS App Management blocks Electron apps (Conductor) from quitting
other apps via osascript. Now detects the runtime environment:
- terminal/claude-code/codex: can manage apps freely
- conductor: prints manual restart instructions + polls for 60s

detectRuntime() checks env vars and parent process. When Chrome needs
restart but we can't quit it, prints step-by-step instructions and
waits for the user to restart Chrome with --remote-debugging-port.

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

* fix: detect Conductor via actual env vars (CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_NAME)

Previous detection checked CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_ID which doesn't exist.
Conductor sets CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_NAME, CONDUCTOR_BIN_DIR, CONDUCTOR_PORT,
and __CFBundleIdentifier=com.conductor.app. Check these FIRST because
Conductor sessions also have ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (which was matching claude-code).

* feat: connection status pill — floating indicator when gstack controls Chrome

Small pill in bottom-right corner of every page: "● gstack · 3 refs"
Shows when connected via CDP, fades to 30% opacity after 3s, full on hover.
Disappears entirely when disconnected.

Background worker now notifies content scripts on connect/disconnect state
changes so the pill appears/disappears without polling.

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

* fix: Chrome requires --user-data-dir for remote debugging

Chrome refuses --remote-debugging-port without an explicit --user-data-dir.
Add userDataDir to BrowserBinary registry (macOS Application Support paths)
and pass it in both auto-launch and manual restart instructions.

Fix double-quoting in CLI manual restart instructions.

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

* fix: Chrome must be fully quit before launching with --remote-debugging-port

Chrome refuses to enable CDP on its default profile when another instance
is running (even with explicit --user-data-dir). The only reliable path:
fully quit Chrome first, then relaunch with the flag.

Updated instructions to emphasize this clearly with verification step.

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

* feat: bin/chrome-cdp — quit Chrome and relaunch with CDP in one command

Quits Chrome gracefully, waits for full exit, relaunches with
--remote-debugging-port, polls until CDP is ready. Usage: chrome-cdp [port]

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

* fix: use Playwright channel:chrome instead of broken connectOverCDP

Playwright's connectOverCDP hangs with Chrome 146 due to CDP protocol
version mismatch. Switch to channel:'chrome' which uses Playwright's
native pipe protocol to launch the system Chrome binary directly.

This is simpler and more reliable:
- No CDP port discovery needed
- No --remote-debugging-port or --user-data-dir hassles
- $B connect just works — launches real Chrome headed window
- All Playwright APIs (snapshot, click, fill) work unchanged

bin/chrome-cdp updated with symlinked profile approach (kept for
manual CDP use cases, but $B connect no longer needs it).

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

* feat: green border + gstack label on controlled Chrome window

Injects a 2px green border and small "gstack" label on every page
loaded in the controlled Chrome window via context.addInitScript().
Users can instantly tell which Chrome window Claude controls.

Also fixes close() for channel:chrome mode (uses browser.close()
not browser.disconnect() which doesn't exist).

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

* chore: cleanup chrome-launcher runtime detection, remove puppeteer-core dep

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

* style(design): redesign controlled Chrome indicator

Replace crude green border + label with polished indicator:
- 2px shimmer gradient at top edge (green→cyan→green, 3s loop)
- Floating pill bottom-right with frosted glass bg, fades to 25%
  opacity after 4s so it doesn't compete with page content
- prefers-reduced-motion disables shimmer animation
- Much more subtle — looks like a developer tool, not broken CSS

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

* docs: document real browser mode + Chrome extension in BROWSER.md and README.md

BROWSER.md: new sections for connect/disconnect/focus commands,
Chrome extension Side Panel install, CDP-aware skills, activity streaming.
Updated command reference table, key components, env vars, source map.

README.md: updated /browse description, added "Real browser mode" to
What's New section.

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

* docs: step-by-step Chrome extension install guide in BROWSER.md

Replace terse bullet points with numbered walkthrough covering:
developer mode toggle, load unpacked, macOS file picker tip (Cmd+Shift+G),
pin extension, configure port, open side panel. Added troubleshooting section.

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

* docs: add Cmd+Shift+. tip for hidden folders in macOS file picker

macOS hides folders starting with . by default. Added both shortcuts:
Cmd+Shift+G (paste path directly) and Cmd+Shift+. (show hidden files).

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

* docs: integrate hidden folder tips into the install flow naturally

Move Cmd+Shift+G and Cmd+Shift+. tips inline with the file picker
step instead of as a separate tip block after it.

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

* feat: auto-load Chrome extension when $B connect launches Chrome

Extension auto-loads via --load-extension flag — no manual chrome://extensions
install needed. findExtensionPath() checks repo root, global install, and dev
paths. Also adds bin/gstack-extension helper for manual install in regular
Chrome, and rewrites BROWSER.md install docs with auto-load as primary path.

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

* feat: /connect-chrome skill — one command to launch Chrome with Side Panel

New skill that runs $B connect, verifies the connection, guides the user
to open the Side Panel, and demos the live activity feed. Extension auto-loads
via --load-extension so no manual chrome://extensions install needed.

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

* fix: use launchPersistentContext for Chrome extension loading

Playwright's chromium.launch() silently ignores --load-extension.
Switch to launchPersistentContext with ignoreDefaultArgs to remove
--disable-extensions flag. Use bundled Chromium (real Chrome blocks
unpacked extensions). Fixed port 34567 for CDP mode so the extension
auto-connects.

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

* feat: sync extension to DESIGN.md — amber accent, zinc neutrals, grain texture

Import design system from gstack-website. Update all extension colors:
green (#4ade80) → amber (#F59E0B/#FBBF24), zinc gray neutrals, grain
texture overlay. Regenerate icons as amber "G" monogram on dark background.

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

* feat: sidebar chat with Claude Code — icon opens side panel directly

Replace popup flyout with direct side panel open on icon click. Primary
UI is now a chat interface that sends messages to Claude Code via file
queue. Activity/Refs tabs moved behind a debug toggle in the footer.
Command bar with history, auto-poll for responses, amber design system.

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

* feat: sidebar agent — Claude-powered chat backend via file queue

Add /sidebar-command, /sidebar-response, and /sidebar-chat endpoints
to the browse server. sidebar-agent.ts watches the command queue file,
spawns claude -p with browse context for each message, and streams
responses back to the sidebar chat.

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

* fix: remove duplicate gstack pill overlay, hide crash restore bubble

The addInitScript indicator and the extension's content script were both
injecting bottom-right pills, causing duplicates. Remove the pill from
addInitScript (extension handles it). Replace --restore-last-session with
--hide-crash-restore-bubble to suppress the "Chromium didn't shut down
correctly" dialog.

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

* fix: state file authority — CDP server cannot be silently replaced

Hardens the connect/disconnect lifecycle:
- ensureServer() refuses to auto-start headless when CDP server is alive
- $B connect does full cleanup: SIGTERM → 2s → SIGKILL, profile locks, state
- shutdown() cleans Chromium SingletonLock/Socket/Cookie files
- uncaughtException/unhandledRejection handlers do emergency cleanup

This prevents the bug where a headless server overwrites the CDP server's
state file, causing $B commands to hit the wrong browser.

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

* feat: sidebar agent streaming events + session state management

Enhance sidebar-agent.ts with:
- Live streaming of claude -p events (tool_use, text, result) to sidebar
- Session state file for BROWSE_STATE_FILE propagation to claude subprocess
- Improved logging (stderr, exit codes, event types)
- stdin.end() to prevent claude waiting for input
- summarizeToolInput() with path shortening for compact sidebar display

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

* feat: sidebar chat UI — streaming events, agent status, reconnect retry

Sidebar panel improvements:
- Chat tab renders streaming agent events (tool_use, text, result)
- Thinking dots animation while agent processes
- Agent error display with styled error blocks
- tryConnect() with 2s retry loop for initial connection
- Debug tabs (Activity/Refs) hidden behind gear toggle
- Clear chat button
- Compact tool call display with path shortening

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

* feat: server-integrated sidebar agent with sessions and message queue

Move the sidebar agent from a separate bun process into server.ts:
- Agent spawns claude -p directly when messages arrive via /sidebar-command
- In-memory chat buffer backed by per-session chat.jsonl on disk
- Session manager: create, load, persist, list sessions
- Message queue (cap 5) with agent status tracking (idle/processing/hung)
- Stop/kill endpoints with queue dismiss support
- /health now returns agent status + session info
- All sidebar endpoints require Bearer auth
- Agent killed on server shutdown
- 120s timeout detects hung claude processes

Eliminates: file-queue polling, separate sidebar-agent.ts process,
stale auth tokens, state file conflicts between processes.

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

* feat: extension auth + token flow for server-integrated agent

Update Chrome extension to use Bearer auth on all sidebar endpoints:
- background.js captures auth token from /health, exposes via getToken msg
- background.js sets openPanelOnActionClick for direct side panel access
- sidepanel.js gets token from background, sends in all fetch headers
- Health broadcasts include token so sidebar auto-authenticates
- Removes popup from manifest — icon click opens side panel directly

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

* feat: self-healing sidebar — reconnect banner, state machine, copy button

Sidebar UI now handles disconnection gracefully:
- Connection state machine: connected → reconnecting → dead
- Amber pulsing banner during reconnect (2s retry, 30 attempts)
- Red "Server offline" banner with Reconnect + Copy /connect-chrome buttons
- Green "Reconnected" toast that fades after 3s on successful reconnect
- Copy button lets user paste /connect-chrome into any Claude Code session

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

* fix: crash handling — save session, kill agent, distinct exit codes

Hardened shutdown/crash behavior:
- Browser disconnect exits with code 2 (distinct from crash code 1)
- emergencyCleanup kills agent subprocess and saves session state
- Clean shutdown saves session before exit (chat history persists)
- Clear user message on browser disconnect: "Run $B connect to reconnect"

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

* feat: worktree-per-session isolation for sidebar agent

Each sidebar session gets an isolated git worktree so the agent's file
operations don't conflict with the user's working directory:
- createWorktree() creates detached HEAD worktree in ~/.gstack/worktrees/
- Falls back to main cwd for non-git repos or on creation failure
- Handles collision cleanup from prior crashes
- removeWorktree() cleans up on session switch and shutdown
- worktreePath persisted in session.json

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

* fix(qa): ISSUE-001 — disconnect blocked by CDP guard in ensureServer

$B disconnect was routed through ensureServer() which refused to start a
headless server when a CDP state file existed. Disconnect is now handled
before ensureServer() (like connect), with force-kill + cleanup fallback
when the CDP server is unresponsive.

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

* fix: resolve claude binary path for daemon-spawned agent

The browse server runs as a daemon and may not inherit the user's shell
PATH. Add findClaudeBin() that checks ~/.local/bin/claude (standard
install location), which claude, and common system paths. Shows a clear
error in the sidebar chat if claude CLI is not found.

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

* fix: resolve claude symlinks + check Conductor bundled binary

posix_spawn fails on symlinks in compiled bun binaries. Now:
- Checks Conductor app's bundled binary first (not a symlink)
- Scans ~/.local/share/claude/versions/ for direct versioned binaries
- Uses fs.realpathSync() to resolve symlinks before spawning

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

* fix: compiled bun binary cannot posix_spawn — use external agent process

Compiled bun binaries fail posix_spawn on ALL executables (even /bin/bash).
The server now writes to an agent queue file, and a separate non-compiled
bun process (sidebar-agent.ts) reads the queue, spawns claude, and POSTs
events back via /sidebar-agent/event.

Changes:
- server.ts: spawnClaude writes to queue file instead of spawning directly
- server.ts: new /sidebar-agent/event endpoint for agent → server relay
- server.ts: fix result event field name (event.text vs event.result)
- sidebar-agent.ts: rewritten to poll queue file, relay events via HTTP
- cli.ts: $B connect auto-starts sidebar-agent as non-compiled bun process

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

* feat: loading spinner on sidebar open while connecting to server

Shows an amber spinner with "Connecting..." when the sidebar first opens,
replacing the empty state. After the first successful /sidebar-chat poll:
- If chat history exists: renders it immediately
- If no history: shows the welcome message

Prevents the jarring empty-then-populated flash on sidebar open.

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

* feat: zero-friction side panel — auto-open on install, pill is clickable

Three changes to eliminate manual side panel setup:
- Auto-open side panel on extension install/update (onInstalled listener)
- gstack pill (bottom-right) is now clickable — opens the side panel
- Pill has pointer-events: auto so clicks always register (was: none)

User no longer needs to find the puzzle piece icon, pin the extension,
or know the side panel exists. It opens automatically on first launch
and can be re-opened by clicking the floating gstack pill.

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

* refactor: kill CDP naming, delete chrome-launcher.ts dead code

The connectCDP() method and connectionMode: 'cdp' naming was a legacy
artifact — real Chrome was tried but failed (silently blocks
--load-extension), so the implementation already used Playwright's
bundled Chromium via launchPersistentContext(). The naming was
misleading.

Changes:
- Delete chrome-launcher.ts (361 LOC) — only import was in unreachable
  attemptReconnect() method
- Delete dead attemptReconnect() and reconnecting field
- Delete preExistingTabIds (was for protecting real Chrome tabs we
  never connect to)
- Rename connectCDP() → launchHeaded()
- Rename connectionMode: 'cdp' → 'headed' across all files
- Replace BROWSE_CDP_URL/BROWSE_CDP_PORT env vars with BROWSE_HEADED=1
- Regenerate SKILL.md files for updated command descriptions
- Move BrowserManager unit tests to browser-manager-unit.test.ts

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

* feat: converge handoff into connect — extension loads on handoff

Handoff now uses launchPersistentContext() with extension auto-loading,
same as the connect/launchHeaded() path. This means when the agent
gets stuck (2FA, CAPTCHA) and hands off to the user, the Chrome
extension + side panel are available automatically.

Before: handoff used chromium.launch() + newContext() — no extension
After: handoff uses chromium.launchPersistentContext() — extension loads

Also sets connectionMode to 'headed' and disables dialog auto-accept
on handoff, matching connect behavior.

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

* feat: gate sidebar chat behind --chat flag

$B connect (default): headed Chromium + extension with Activity + Refs
tabs only. No separate agent spawned. Clean, no confusion.

$B connect --chat: same + Chat tab with standalone claude -p agent.
Shows experimental banner: "Standalone mode — this is a separate
agent from your workspace."

Implementation:
- cli.ts: parse --chat, set BROWSE_SIDEBAR_CHAT env, conditionally
  spawn sidebar-agent
- server.ts: gate /sidebar-* routes behind chatEnabled, return 403
  when disabled, include chatEnabled in /health response
- sidepanel.js: applyChatEnabled() hides/shows Chat tab + banner
- background.js: forward chatEnabled from health response
- sidepanel.html/css: experimental banner with amber styling

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

* feat: file drop relay + $B inbox command

Sidebar agent now writes structured messages to .context/sidebar-inbox/
when processing user input. The workspace agent can read these via
$B inbox to see what the user reported from the browser.

File drop format:
  .context/sidebar-inbox/{timestamp}-observation.json
  { type, timestamp, page: {url}, userMessage, sidebarSessionId }

Atomic writes (tmp + rename) prevent partial reads. $B inbox --clear
removes messages after display.

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

* feat: $B watch — passive observation mode

Claude enters read-only mode and captures periodic snapshots (every 5s)
while the user browses. Mutation commands (click, fill, etc.) are
blocked during watch. $B watch stop exits and returns a summary with
the last snapshot.

Requires headed mode ($B connect). This is the inverse of the scout
pattern — the workspace agent watches through the browser instead of
the sidebar relaying to it.

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

* test: add coverage for sidebar-agent, file-drop, and watch mode

33 new tests covering:
- Sidebar agent queue parsing (valid/malformed/empty JSONL)
- writeToInbox file drop (directory creation, atomic writes, JSON format)
- Inbox command (display, sorting, --clear, malformed file handling)
- Watch mode state machine (start/stop cycles, snapshots, duration)

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

* docs: TODOS cleanup + Chrome vs Chromium exploration doc

- Update TODOS.md: mark CDP mode, $B watch, sidebar scout as SHIPPED
- Delete dead "cross-platform CDP browser discovery" TODO
- Rename dependencies from "CDP connect" to "headed mode"
- Add docs/designs/CHROME_VS_CHROMIUM_EXPLORATION.md memorializing
  the architecture exploration and decision to use Playwright Chromium

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

* docs: add Conductor Chrome sidebar integration design doc

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

* fix: sidebar-agent validates cwd before spawning claude

The queue entry may reference a worktree that was cleaned up between
sessions. Now falls back to process.cwd() if the path doesn't exist,
preventing silent spawn failures.

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

* fix: gen-skill-docs resolver merge + preamble tier gate + plan file discovery

The local RESOLVERS record in gen-skill-docs.ts was shadowing the imported
canonical resolvers, causing stale test coverage and preamble generators
to be used instead of the authoritative versions in resolvers/.

Changes:
- Merge imported RESOLVERS with local overrides (spread + override pattern)
- Fix preamble tier gate: tier 1 skills no longer get AskUserQuestion format
- Make plan file discovery host-agnostic (search multiple plan dirs)
- Add missing E2E tier entries for ship/review plan completion tests

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

* feat: ungate sidebar agent + raise timeout to 5 minutes (v0.12.0)

Sidebar chat is now always available in headed mode — no --chat flag needed.
Agent tasks get 5 minutes instead of 2, enabling multi-page workflows like
navigating directories and filling forms across pages.

Changes:
- cli.ts: remove --chat flag, always set BROWSE_SIDEBAR_CHAT=1, always spawn agent
- server.ts: remove chatEnabled gate (403 response), raise AGENT_TIMEOUT_MS to 300s
- sidebar-agent.ts: raise child process timeout from 120s to 300s

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

* docs: headed mode + sidebar agent documentation (v0.12.0)

- README: sidebar agent section, personal automation example (school parent
  portal), two auth paths (manual login + cookie import), DevTools MCP mention
- BROWSER.md: sidebar agent section with usage, timeout, session isolation,
  authentication, and random delay documentation
- connect-chrome template: add sidebar chat onboarding step
- CHANGELOG: v0.12.0 entry covering headed mode, sidebar agent, extension
- VERSION: bump to 0.12.0.0
- TODOS: Chrome DevTools MCP integration as P0

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files

Generated from updated templates + resolver merge. Key changes:
- Tier 1 skills no longer include AskUserQuestion format section
- Ship/review skills now include coverage gate with thresholds
- Connect-chrome skill includes sidebar chat onboarding step
- Plan file discovery uses host-agnostic paths

* feat: network idle, state persistence, iframe support, chain pipe format (v0.12.1.0) (#516)

* feat: network idle detection + chain pipe format

- Upgrade click/fill/select from domcontentloaded to networkidle wait
  (2s timeout, best-effort). Catches XHR/fetch triggered by interactions.
- Add pipe-delimited format to chain as JSON fallback:
  $B chain 'goto url | click @e5 | snapshot -ic'
- Add post-loop networkidle wait in chain when last command was a write.
- Frame-aware: commands use target (getActiveFrameOrPage) for locator ops,
  page-only ops (goto/back/forward/reload) guard against frame context.

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

* feat: $B state save/load + $B frame — new browse commands

- state save/load: persist cookies + URLs to .gstack/browse-states/{name}.json
  File perms 0o600, name sanitized to [a-zA-Z0-9_-]. V1 skips localStorage
  (breaks on load-before-navigate). Load replaces session via closeAllPages().
- frame: switch command context to iframe via CSS selector, @ref, --name, or
  --url. 'frame main' returns to main frame. Execution target abstraction
  (getActiveFrameOrPage) across read-commands, snapshot, and write-commands.
- Frame context cleared on tab switch, navigation, resume, and handoff.
- Snapshot shows [Context: iframe src="..."] header when in frame.

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

* test: add tests for network idle, chain pipe format, state, and frame

- Network idle: click on fetch button waits for XHR, static click is fast
- Chain pipe: pipe-delimited commands, quoted args, JSON still works
- State: save/load round-trip, name sanitization, missing state error
- Frame: switch to iframe + back, snapshot context header, fill in frame,
  goto-in-frame guard, usage error

New fixtures: network-idle.html (fetch + static buttons), iframe.html (srcdoc)

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

* fix: review fixes — iframe ref scoping, detached frame recovery, state validation

- snapshot.ts: ref locators, cursor-interactive scan, and cursor locator
  now use target (frame-aware) instead of page — fixes @ref clicking in iframes
- browser-manager.ts: getActiveFrameOrPage auto-recovers from detached frames
  via isDetached() check
- meta-commands.ts: state load resets activeFrame, elementHandle disposed after
  contentFrame(), state file schema validation (cookies + pages arrays),
  filter empty pipe segments in chain tokenizer
- write-commands.ts: upload command uses target.locator() for frame support

feat: worktree isolation for E2E tests + infrastructure elegance (v0.11.12.0) (#425)

* refactor: extract gen-skill-docs into modular resolver architecture

Break the 3000-line monolith into 10 domain modules under scripts/resolvers/:
types, constants, preamble, utility, browse, design, testing, review,
codex-helpers, and index. Each module owns one domain of template generation.

The preamble module introduces a 4-tier composition system (T1-T4) so skills
only pay for the preamble sections they actually need, reducing token usage
for lightweight skills by ~40%.

Adds a token budget dashboard that prints after every generation run showing
per-skill and total token counts.

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

* feat: tiered preamble — skills only pay for what they use

Tag all 23 templates with preamble-tier (T1-T4). Lightweight skills
like /browse and /benchmark get a minimal preamble (~40% fewer tokens),
while review skills get the full stack. Regenerate all SKILL.md files.

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

* feat: migrate eval storage to project-scoped paths

Move eval results and E2E run artifacts from ~/.gstack-dev/evals/ to
~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/evals/ so each project's eval history lives
alongside its other gstack data. Falls back to legacy path if slug
detection fails.

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

* fix: sync package.json version with VERSION after merge

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

* feat: add WorktreeManager for isolated test environments

Reusable platform module (lib/worktree.ts) that creates git worktrees
for test isolation and harvests useful changes as patches. Includes
SHA-256 dedup, original SHA tracking for committed change detection,
and automatic gitignored artifact copying (.agents/, browse/dist/).

12 unit tests covering lifecycle, harvest, dedup, and error handling.

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

* feat: integrate worktree isolation into E2E test infrastructure

Add createTestWorktree(), harvestAndCleanup(), and describeWithWorktree()
helpers to e2e-helpers.ts. Add harvest field to EvalTestEntry for
eval-store integration. Register lib/worktree.ts as a global touchfile.

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

* feat: run Gemini and Codex E2E tests in worktrees

Switch both test suites from cwd: ROOT to worktree isolation.
Gemini (--yolo) no longer pollutes the working tree. Codex
(read-only) gets worktree for consistency. Useful changes are
harvested as patches for cherry-picking.

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

* fix: skip symlinks in copyDirSync to prevent infinite recursion

Adversarial review caught that .claude/skills/gstack may be a symlink
back to the repo root, causing copyDirSync to recurse infinitely
when copying gitignored artifacts into worktrees.

* fix: relax session-awareness assertion to accept structured options

The LLM consistently presents well-formatted A/B choices with pros/cons
but doesn't always use the exact string "RECOMMENDATION". Accept
case-insensitive "recommend", "option a", "which do you want", or
"which approach" as equivalent signals of a structured recommendation.

fix: gstack-slug bash compatibility — source to eval (#354)

* fix: replace source <(gstack-slug) with eval for bash compatibility

Under bash with set -euo pipefail, source <(cmd) process substitution
doesn't reliably set variables in the caller's scope. The variables
stay empty and -u (nounset) crashes the script. eval "$(cmd)" works
correctly in both bash and zsh.

Fixes: gstack-review-read, gstack-review-log, gstack-slug comment,
gen-skill-docs.ts resolver functions, and regression tests.

feat: design outside voices — cross-model design critique (v0.11.3.0) (#347)

* feat(gen-skill-docs): add design outside voices + hard rules resolvers

Add generateDesignOutsideVoices() — parallel Codex + Claude subagent
dispatch for cross-model design critique with litmus scorecard synthesis.
Branches per skillName (plan-design-review, design-review, design-consultation)
with task-specific reasoning effort (high for analytical, medium for creative).

Add generateDesignHardRules() — OpenAI Frontend Skill hard rules + gstack
AI slop blacklist unified into one shared block with classifier step
(landing page vs app UI vs hybrid).

Extract AI_SLOP_BLACKLIST constant from inline prose in generateDesignMethodology()
for DRY. Extend generateDesignReviewLite() with lightweight Codex block.
Extend generateDesignSketch() with outside voices opt-in after wireframe.

Source: OpenAI "Designing Delightful Frontends with GPT-5.4" (Mar 2026)

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

* feat(design skills): add outside voices + hard rules to all design templates

Insert {{DESIGN_OUTSIDE_VOICES}} in plan-design-review (between Step 0D
and Pass 1), design-review (between Phase 6 and Phase 7), and
design-consultation (between Phase 2 and Phase 3).

Insert {{DESIGN_HARD_RULES}} in plan-design-review Pass 4 and design-review
Phase 3 checklist.

DESIGN_REVIEW_LITE in /ship and /review now includes a Codex design voice
block with litmus checks.

DESIGN_SKETCH in /office-hours now includes outside voices opt-in after
wireframe approval.

Regenerated all SKILL.md files (both Claude and Codex hosts).

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

* test: add resolver tests + touchfiles for design outside voices

Add 18 test cases across 4 new describe blocks:
- DESIGN_OUTSIDE_VOICES: host guard, skillName branching, reasoning effort
- DESIGN_HARD_RULES: classifier, 3 rule sets, slop blacklist, OpenAI criteria
- DESIGN_SKETCH extended: outside voices step, original wireframe preserved
- DESIGN_REVIEW_LITE extended: Codex block, codex host exclusion

Update touchfiles: add scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts to design skill E2E
test dependencies for accurate diff-based test selection.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.11.3.0)

Design outside voices — parallel Codex + Claude subagent for cross-model
design critique with litmus scorecard synthesis. OpenAI hard rules + gstack
slop blacklist unified. Classifier for landing page vs app UI.

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

* fix: generate .agents/ on demand in tests (not checked in since v0.11.2.0)

.agents/ is gitignored since v0.11.2.0 — tests that read Codex-host
SKILL.md files now generate them on demand via `bun run gen-skill-docs.ts
--host codex` before reading. Fixes test failures on fresh clones.

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.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.8.3)

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

* docs: update /debug → /investigate references in docs

CLAUDE.md, README.md, and docs/skills.md still referenced the old
/debug skill name after the rename.

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

* 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: 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.

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.

feat: interactive /plan-design-review + CEO invokes designer + 100% coverage (v0.6.4) (#149)

* refactor: rename qa-design-review → design-review

The "qa-" prefix was confusing — this is the live-site design audit with
fix loop, not a QA-only report. Rename directory and update all references
across docs, tests, scripts, and skill templates.

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

* feat: interactive /plan-design-review + CEO invokes designer

Rewrite /plan-design-review from report-only grading to an interactive
plan-fixer that rates each design dimension 0-10, explains what a 10
looks like, and edits the plan to get there. Parallel structure with
/plan-ceo-review and /plan-eng-review — one issue = one AskUserQuestion.

CEO review now detects UI scope and invokes the designer perspective
when the plan has frontend/UX work, so you get design review
automatically when it matters.

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

* test: validation + touchfile entries for 100% coverage

Add design-consultation to command/snapshot flag validation. Add 4
skills to contributor mode validation (plan-design-review,
design-review, design-consultation, document-release). Add 2 templates
to hardcoded branch check. Register touchfile entries for 10 new
LLM-judge tests and 1 new E2E test.

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

* test: LLM-judge for 10 skills + gstack-upgrade E2E

Add LLM-judge quality evals for all uncovered skills using a DRY
runWorkflowJudge helper with section marker guards. Add real E2E
test for gstack-upgrade using mock git remote (replaces test.todo).
Add plan-edit assertion to plan-design-review E2E.

14/15 skills now at full coverage. setup-browser-cookies remains
deferred (needs real browser).

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
