feat: recursive self-improvement — operational learning + full skill wiring (v0.13.8.0) (#647)
* refactor: remove dead contributor mode, replace with operational self-improvement slot
Contributor mode never fired in 18 days of heavy use (required manual opt-in
via gstack-config, gated behind _CONTRIB=true, wrote disconnected markdown).
Removes: generateContributorMode(), _CONTRIB bash var, 2 E2E tests, touchfile
entry, doc references. Cleans up skip-lists in plan-ceo-review, autoplan,
review resolver, and document-release templates.
The operational self-improvement system (next commit) replaces this slot with
automatic learning capture that requires no opt-in.

* feat: operational self-improvement — every skill learns from failures
Adds universal operational learning capture to the preamble completion protocol.
At the end of every skill session, the agent reflects on CLI failures, wrong
approaches, and project quirks, logging them as type "operational" to the
learnings JSONL. Future sessions surface these automatically.
- generateCompletionStatus(ctx) now includes operational capture section
- Preamble bash shows top 3 learnings inline when count > 5
- New "operational" type in generateLearningsLog alongside pattern/pitfall/etc
- Updated unit tests + operational seed entry in learnings E2E

* feat: wire learnings into all insight-producing skills
Adds LEARNINGS_SEARCH and/or LEARNINGS_LOG to 10 skill templates that
produce reusable insights but were previously disconnected from the
learning system:
- office-hours, plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review: add LOG (had SEARCH)
- plan-design-review: add both SEARCH + LOG (had neither)
- design-review, design-consultation, cso, qa, qa-only: add both
- retro: add SEARCH (had LOG)
13 skills now fully participate in the learning loop (read + write).
Every review, QA, investigation, and design session both consults prior
learnings and contributes new ones.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: add operational-learning E2E test (gate-tier)
Validates the write path: agent encounters a CLI failure, logs an
operational learning to JSONL via gstack-learnings-log. Replaces the
removed contributor-mode E2E test.
Setup: temp git repo, copy bin scripts, set GSTACK_HOME.
Prompt: simulated npm test failure needing --experimental-vm-modules.
Assert: learnings.jsonl exists with type=operational entry.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: learnings-show E2E slug mismatch — seed at computed slug, not hardcoded
The test seeded learnings at projects/test-project/ but gstack-slug computes
the slug from basename(workDir) when no git remote exists. The agent's search
looked at the wrong path and found nothing.
Fix: compute slug the same way gstack-slug does (basename + sanitize) and
seed the learnings there.

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.

* 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/.

* 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

* 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.

* 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.

* 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+.

* chore: regenerate design-shotgun SKILL.md for v0.12.12.0 preamble changes
Merge from main brought updated preamble resolver (conditional telemetry,
local JSONL logging) but design-shotgun/SKILL.md wasn't regenerated.

fix: Windows browse — health-check-first ensureServer, detached startServer, Windows process mgmt (v0.11.11.0) (#431)
* fix: Windows browse — health-check-first ensureServer, detached startServer, Windows process mgmt
Three compounding bugs made browse completely broken on Windows:
1. Bun.spawn().unref() doesn't truly detach on Windows — server dies when
CLI exits. Fix: use Node's child_process.spawn with { detached: true }
via a launcher script. Credit: PR #191 by @fqueiro for the approach.
2. process.kill(pid, 0) is broken in Bun's compiled binary on Windows —
ensureServer() never reaches the health check. Fix: restructure to
health-check-first (HTTP is definitive proof on all platforms). Extract
isServerHealthy() helper for DRY (4 call sites).
3. Windows process management: isProcessAlive() falls back to tasklist,
killServer() uses taskkill /T /F (kills process tree including Chromium),
cleanupLegacyState() skips on Windows (no /tmp, no ps).
Also: hard-fail on Windows if server-node.mjs is missing instead of
silently falling back to the known-broken Bun path.
Fixes #342.

* fix: disable Chromium sandbox on Windows
Chromium's sandbox fails when the server is spawned through the
Bun→Node process chain on Windows (GitHub #276). Disable
chromiumSandbox on Windows at both launch sites (headless + headed).
Safe: local daemon browsing user-specified URLs, Playwright docs
recommend disabling in CI/container environments.
Fixes #276.

* fix: startup error log + Windows exit handler for browse server
On Windows, the CLI can't capture stderr from the server (stdio: 'ignore'
required for process detachment). Write startup errors to
.gstack/browse-startup-error.log so the CLI can report them on timeout.
Also add process.on('exit') handler on Windows as defense-in-depth for
state file cleanup (primary mechanism is CLI's stale-state detection).

* test: add isServerHealthy + startup error log tests
Tests for the new cross-platform health check helper (isServerHealthy)
that replaces PID-based liveness checks in all polling loops. Covers
healthy, unhealthy, unreachable, and error response cases.
Also tests the startup error log write/read format used on Windows.

feat: cross-model outside voice in plan reviews (v0.9.9.1) (#326)
* feat: add generateCodexPlanReview() resolver for cross-model plan review
New resolver offers an optional Codex (or Claude subagent fallback) "outside
voice" after plan review sections complete. Includes cross-model tension
detection with auto-TODO proposals, review log persistence, and an Outside
Voice row in the Review Readiness Dashboard.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: integrate {{CODEX_PLAN_REVIEW}} into CEO and eng review templates
CEO review: insert after Section 11 + add Outside Voice summary row.
Eng review: replace hardcoded Step 0.5 with resolver (adds fallback,
logging, dashboard, xhigh reasoning, cross-model tension tracking).

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files from updated templates
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: update project documentation for v0.9.9.1
ARCHITECTURE.md: added {{CODEX_PLAN_REVIEW}} to placeholder table.
CHANGELOG.md: added v0.9.9.1 entry for outside voice feature.
VERSION: bumped to 0.9.9.1.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: move {{CODEX_PLAN_REVIEW}} after review sections in eng review
Codex adversarial review caught that the placeholder was positioned
before the 4 review sections, so the "After all review sections are
complete" instruction could confuse the model. Moved it after Section
4's STOP directive where it belongs.

feat: /land-and-deploy, /canary, /benchmark + perf review (v0.7.0) (#183)
* feat: add /canary, /benchmark, /land-and-deploy skills (v0.7.0)
Three new skills that close the deploy loop:
- /canary: standalone post-deploy monitoring with browse daemon
- /benchmark: performance regression detection with Web Vitals
- /land-and-deploy: merge PR, wait for deploy, canary verify production
Incorporates patterns from community PR #151.
Co-Authored-By: HMAKT99 <HMAKT99@users.noreply.github.com>
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add Performance & Bundle Impact category to review checklist
New Pass 2 (INFORMATIONAL) category catching heavy dependencies
(moment.js, lodash full), missing lazy loading, synchronous scripts,
CSS @import blocking, fetch waterfalls, and tree-shaking breaks.
Both /review and /ship automatically pick this up via checklist.md.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add {{DEPLOY_BOOTSTRAP}} resolver + deployed row in dashboard
- New generateDeployBootstrap() resolver auto-detects deploy platform
(Vercel, Netlify, Fly.io, GH Actions, etc.), production URL, and
merge method. Persists to CLAUDE.md like test bootstrap.
- Review Readiness Dashboard now shows a "Deployed" row from
/land-and-deploy JSONL entries (informational, never gates shipping).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* chore: mark 3 TODOs completed, bump v0.7.0, update CHANGELOG
Superseded by /land-and-deploy:
- /merge skill — review-gated PR merge
- Deploy-verify skill
- Post-deploy verification (ship + browse)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: /setup-deploy skill + platform-specific deploy verification
- New /setup-deploy skill: interactive guided setup for deploy configuration.
Detects Fly.io, Render, Vercel, Netlify, Heroku, Railway, GitHub Actions,
and custom deploy scripts. Writes config to CLAUDE.md with custom hooks
section for non-standard setups.
- Enhanced deploy bootstrap: platform-specific URL resolution (fly.toml app
→ {app}.fly.dev, render.yaml → {service}.onrender.com, etc.), deploy
status commands (fly status, heroku releases), and custom deploy hooks
section in CLAUDE.md for manual/scripted deploys.
- Platform-specific deploy verification in /land-and-deploy Step 6:
Strategy A (GitHub Actions polling), Strategy B (platform CLI: fly/render/heroku),
Strategy C (auto-deploy: vercel/netlify), Strategy D (custom hooks from CLAUDE.md).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: E2E + LLM-judge evals for deploy skills
- 4 E2E tests: land-and-deploy (Fly.io detection + deploy report),
canary (monitoring report structure), benchmark (perf report schema),
setup-deploy (platform detection → CLAUDE.md config)
- 4 LLM-judge evals: workflow quality for all 4 new skills
- Touchfile entries for diff-based test selection (E2E + LLM-judge)
- 460 free tests pass, 0 fail
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: harden E2E tests — server lifecycle, timeouts, preamble budget, skip flaky
Cross-cutting fixes:
- Pre-seed ~/.gstack/.completeness-intro-seen and ~/.gstack/.telemetry-prompted
so preamble doesn't burn 3-7 turns on lake intro + telemetry in every test
- Each describe block creates its own test server instance instead of sharing
a global that dies between suites
Test fixes (5 tests):
- /qa quick: own server instance + preamble skip
- /review SQL injection: timeout 90→180s, maxTurns 15→20, added assertion
that review output actually mentions SQL injection
- /review design-lite: maxTurns 25→35 + preamble skip (now detects 7/7)
- ship-base-branch: both timeouts 90→150/180s + preamble skip
- plan-eng artifact: clean stale state in beforeAll, maxTurns 20→25
Skipped (4 flaky/redundant tests):
- contributor-mode: tests prompt compliance, not skill functionality
- design-consultation-research: WebSearch-dependent, redundant with core
- design-consultation-preview: redundant with core test
- /qa bootstrap: too ambitious (65 turns, installs vitest)
Also: preamble skip added to qa-only, qa-fix-loop, design-consultation-core,
and design-consultation-existing prompts. Updated touchfiles entries and
touchfiles.test.ts. Added honest comment to codex-review-findings.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: redesign 6 skipped/todo E2E tests + add test.concurrent support
Redesigned tests (previously skipped/todo):
- contributor-mode: pre-fail approach, 5 turns/30s (was 10 turns/90s)
- design-consultation-research: WebSearch-only, 8 turns/90s (was 45/480s)
- design-consultation-preview: preview HTML only, 8 turns/90s (was 30/480s)
- qa-bootstrap: bootstrap-only, 12 turns/90s (was 65/420s)
- /ship workflow: local bare remote, 15 turns/120s (was test.todo)
- /setup-browser-cookies: browser detection smoke, 5 turns/45s (was test.todo)
Added testConcurrentIfSelected() helper for future parallelization.
Updated touchfiles entries for all 6 re-enabled tests.
Target: 0 skip, 0 todo, 0 fail across all E2E tests.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: relax contributor-mode assertions — test structure not exact phrasing
* perf: enable test.concurrent for 31 independent E2E tests
Convert 18 skill-e2e, 11 routing, and 2 codex tests from sequential
to test.concurrent. Only design-consultation tests (4) remain sequential
due to shared designDir state. Expected ~6x speedup on Teams high-burst.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: add --concurrent flag to bun test + convert remaining 4 sequential tests
bun's test.concurrent only works within a describe block, not across
describe blocks. Adding --concurrent to the CLI command makes ALL tests
concurrent regardless of describe boundaries. Also converted the 4
design-consultation tests to concurrent (each already independent).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* perf: split monolithic E2E test into 8 parallel files
Split test/skill-e2e.test.ts (3442 lines) into 8 category files:
- skill-e2e-browse.test.ts (7 tests)
- skill-e2e-review.test.ts (7 tests)
- skill-e2e-qa-bugs.test.ts (3 tests)
- skill-e2e-qa-workflow.test.ts (4 tests)
- skill-e2e-plan.test.ts (6 tests)
- skill-e2e-design.test.ts (7 tests)
- skill-e2e-workflow.test.ts (6 tests)
- skill-e2e-deploy.test.ts (4 tests)
Bun runs each file in its own worker = 10 parallel workers
(8 split + routing + codex). Expected: 78 min → ~12 min.
Extracted shared helpers to test/helpers/e2e-helpers.ts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* perf: bump default E2E concurrency to 15
* perf: add model pinning infrastructure + rate-limit telemetry to E2E runner
Default E2E model changed from Opus to Sonnet (5x faster, 5x cheaper).
Session runner now accepts `model` option with EVALS_MODEL env var override.
Added timing telemetry (first_response_ms, max_inter_turn_ms) and wall_clock_ms
to eval-store for diagnosing rate-limit impact. Added EVALS_FAST test filtering.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: resolve 3 E2E test failures — tmpdir race, wasted turns, brittle assertions
plan-design-review-plan-mode: give each test its own tmpdir to eliminate
race condition where concurrent tests pollute each other's working directory.
ship-local-workflow: inline ship workflow steps in prompt instead of having
agent read 700+ line SKILL.md (was wasting 6 of 15 turns on file I/O).
design-consultation-core: replace exact section name matching with fuzzy
synonym-based matching (e.g. "Colors" matches "Color", "Type System"
matches "Typography"). All 7 sections still required, LLM judge still hard fail.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* perf: pin quality tests to Opus, add --retry 2 and test:e2e:fast tier
~10 quality-sensitive tests (planted-bug detection, design quality judge,
strategic review, retro analysis) explicitly pinned to Opus. ~30 structure
tests default to Sonnet for 5x speed improvement.
Added --retry 2 to all E2E scripts for flaky test resilience.
Added test:e2e:fast script that excludes 8 slowest tests for quick feedback.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: mark E2E model pinning TODO as shipped
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add SKILL.md merge conflict directive to CLAUDE.md
When resolving merge conflicts on generated SKILL.md files, always merge
the .tmpl templates first, then regenerate — never accept either side's
generated output directly.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: add DEPLOY_BOOTSTRAP resolver to gen-skill-docs
The land-and-deploy template referenced {{DEPLOY_BOOTSTRAP}} but no resolver
existed, causing gen-skill-docs to fail. Added generateDeployBootstrap() that
generates the deploy config detection bash block (check CLAUDE.md for persisted
config, auto-detect platform from config files, detect deploy workflows).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files after DEPLOY_BOOTSTRAP fix
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: move prompt temp file outside workingDirectory to prevent race condition
The .prompt-tmp file was written inside workingDirectory, which gets deleted
by afterAll cleanup. With --concurrent --retry, afterAll can interleave with
retries, causing "No such file or directory" crashes at 0s (seen in
review-design-lite and office-hours-spec-review).
Fix: write prompt file to os.tmpdir() with a unique suffix so it survives
directory cleanup. Also convert review-design-lite from describeE2E to
describeIfSelected for proper diff-based test selection.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: add --retry 2 --concurrent flags to test:evals scripts for consistency
test:evals and test:evals:all were missing the retry and concurrency flags
that test:e2e already had, causing inconsistent behavior between the two
script families.

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

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

feat: /plan-design-review + /qa-design-review skills (v0.5.0) (#102)
* feat: add {{DESIGN_METHODOLOGY}} resolver and register design review skills
Add generateDesignMethodology() to gen-skill-docs.ts with 10-category, 80-item
design audit checklist. Register plan-design-review and qa-design-review templates
in findTemplates(). Add both skills to skill-check.ts SKILL_FILES. Add command
and snapshot flag validation tests for both skills in skill-validation.test.ts.
* feat: add /plan-design-review and /qa-design-review skills
/plan-design-review: report-only designer audit with letter grades, AI slop
scoring, structured first impression, design system extraction, DESIGN.md
inference and export offer. Never modifies code.
/qa-design-review: same audit, then iterative fix loop with style(design):
commits, CSS-safe WTF heuristic, before/after screenshots, final re-audit.
* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.5.0)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: update README, ARCHITECTURE for design review skills (v0.5.0)
- Update skill count to 11, add /plan-design-review and /qa-design-review
to skill table, install/uninstall commands, and demo walkthrough
- Add narrative sections: "senior designer mode" and "designer who codes mode"
with compelling examples showing AI Slop detection and design system inference
- Add {{DESIGN_METHODOLOGY}} to ARCHITECTURE.md placeholder table
- Extend demo to show full plan→eng→review→ship→qa→design-review pipeline

6-phase consultant flow: product context → competitive research (WebSearch) →
complete coherent proposal → drill-downs on demand → font+color preview page →
write DESIGN.md + update CLAUDE.md. Opinionated recommendations grounded in
product context, not menu-driven forms.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

DESIGN.md handling, font+color preview generation).
Tests 5-6: /plan-design-review (audit report, DESIGN.md export).
Test 7: /qa-design-review (audit + fix loop).
LLM judge validates font blacklist compliance, coherence, and AI slop avoidance.
Also adds plan-design-review + qa-design-review to ALL_SKILLS test array.

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

* feat: add Enum & Value Completeness to /review critical checklist
New CRITICAL review category that traces new enum values, status strings,
and type constants through every consumer outside the diff. Catches the
class of bugs where a new value is added but not handled in all switch/case
chains, allowlists, or frontend-backend contracts.

* chore: bump v0.4.1, user-facing changelog, update qa-only template and architecture docs
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add CHANGELOG style guide — user-facing, sell the feature

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

* feat: add E2E eval for session awareness ELI16 mode
Stubs _SESSIONS=4, gives agent a decision point on feature/add-payments
branch, verifies the output re-grounds the user with project, branch,
context, and RECOMMENDATION — the ELI16 mode behavior for 3+ sessions.

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

feat: QA restructure, browser ref staleness, eval efficiency metrics (v0.4.0) (#83)
* feat: browser ref staleness detection via async count() validation
resolveRef() now checks element count to detect stale refs after page
mutations (e.g. SPA navigation). RefEntry stores role+name metadata
for better diagnostics. 3 new snapshot tests for staleness detection.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: qa-only skill, qa fix loop, plan-to-QA artifact flow
Add /qa-only (report-only, Edit tool blocked), restructure /qa with
find-fix-verify cycle, add {{QA_METHODOLOGY}} DRY placeholder for
shared methodology. /plan-eng-review now writes test-plan artifacts
to ~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/ for QA consumption.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: eval efficiency metrics — turns, duration, commentary across all surfaces
Add generateCommentary() for natural-language delta interpretation,
per-test turns/duration in comparison and summary output, judgePassed
unit tests, 3 new E2E tests (qa-only, qa fix loop, plan artifact).

feat: SKILL.md template system, 3-tier testing, DX tools (v0.3.3) (#41)
* refactor: extract command registry to commands.ts, add SNAPSHOT_FLAGS metadata
- NEW: browse/src/commands.ts — command sets + COMMAND_DESCRIPTIONS + load-time validation (zero side effects)
- server.ts imports from commands.ts instead of declaring sets inline
- snapshot.ts: SNAPSHOT_FLAGS array drives parseSnapshotArgs (metadata-driven, no duplication)
- All 186 existing tests pass
* feat: SKILL.md template system with auto-generated command references
- SKILL.md.tmpl + browse/SKILL.md.tmpl with {{COMMAND_REFERENCE}} and {{SNAPSHOT_FLAGS}} placeholders
- scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts generates SKILL.md from templates (supports --dry-run)
- Build pipeline runs gen:skill-docs before binary compilation
- Generated files have AUTO-GENERATED header, committed to git
* test: Tier 1 static validation — 34 tests for SKILL.md command correctness
- test/helpers/skill-parser.ts: extracts $B commands from code blocks, validates against registry
- test/skill-parser.test.ts: 13 parser/validator unit tests
- test/skill-validation.test.ts: 13 tests validating all SKILL.md files + registry consistency
- test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts: 8 generator tests (categories, sorting, freshness)
* feat: DX tools (skill:check, dev:skill) + Tier 2 E2E test scaffolding
- scripts/skill-check.ts: health summary for all SKILL.md files (commands, templates, freshness)
- scripts/dev-skill.ts: watch mode for template development
- test/helpers/session-runner.ts: Agent SDK wrapper for E2E skill tests
- test/skill-e2e.test.ts: 2 E2E tests + 3 stubs (auto-skip inside Claude Code sessions)
- E2E tests must run from plain terminal: SKILL_E2E=1 bun test test/skill-e2e.test.ts
* ci: SKILL.md freshness check on push/PR + TODO updates
- .github/workflows/skill-docs.yml: fails if generated SKILL.md files are stale
- TODO.md: add E2E cost tracking and model pinning to future ideas
* fix: restore rich descriptions lost in auto-generation
- Snapshot flags: add back value hints (-d <N>, -s <sel>, -o <path>)
- Snapshot flags: restore parenthetical context (@e refs, @c refs, etc.)
- Commands: is → includes valid states enum
- Commands: console → notes --errors filter behavior
- Commands: press → lists common keys (Enter, Tab, Escape)
- Commands: cookie-import-browser → describes picker UI
- Commands: dialog-accept → specifies alert/confirm/prompt
- Tips: restore → arrow (was downgraded to ->)
* test: quality evals for generated SKILL.md descriptions
Catches the exact regressions we shipped and caught in review:
- Snapshot flags must include value hints (-d <N>, -s <sel>, -o <path>)
- is command must list all valid states (visible/hidden/enabled/...)
- press command must list example keys (Enter, Tab, Escape)
- console command must describe --errors behavior
- Snapshot -i must mention @e refs, -C must mention @c refs
- All descriptions must be >= 8 chars (no empty stubs)
- Tips section must use → not ->
* feat: LLM-as-judge evals for SKILL.md documentation quality
4 eval tests using Anthropic API (claude-haiku, ~$0.01-0.03/run):
- Command reference table: clarity/completeness/actionability >= 4/5
- Snapshot flags section: same thresholds
- browse/SKILL.md overall quality
- Regression: generated version must score >= hand-maintained baseline
Requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. Auto-skips without it.
Run: bun run test:eval (or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-... bun test test/skill-llm-eval.test.ts)

* feat: conductor.json lifecycle hooks + .env propagation across worktrees
bin/dev-setup now copies .env from main worktree so API keys carry
over to Conductor workspaces automatically. conductor.json wires up
setup and archive hooks.
