feat: plan files always show review status (v0.11.1.1) (#345)

* feat: plan files always show review status via preamble footer

Add Plan Status Footer to generateCompletionStatus() in the preamble.
When in plan mode before ExitPlanMode, Claude writes a GSTACK REVIEW
REPORT section to the plan file — either populated from review logs
or a "NO REVIEWS YET" placeholder. Skips if a review skill already
wrote a richer report.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.11.1.1)

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

* refactor: extract {{TEST_COVERAGE_AUDIT}} shared resolver

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

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

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

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

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

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

* refactor: ship uses shared test coverage audit

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

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

* feat: /review Step 4.75 test coverage diagram

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

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

* test: mode differentiation + regression guard for coverage audit

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

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

* test: extract shared coverage audit fixture + review E2E

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

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

* fix: strengthen E2E assertions for coverage audit tests

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

Found during /review.

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

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

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

Ship and review modes keep the git diff instruction.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix: validate repo mode values to prevent shell injection

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

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

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

Codex code review found two issues:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix: REPO_MODE defaults to unknown when helper emits nothing

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

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

* fix: triage E2E runs both test files in subprocesses

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

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

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

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

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

* fix: triage E2E runs both test files in subprocesses

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

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

* fix: REPO_MODE defaults to unknown when helper emits nothing

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

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

- CHANGELOG: add 6 entries for coverage audit, review Step 4.75, E2E
  recommendations, regression iron rule, failure triage, repo-mode fix

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

* feat: ETHOS.md — gstack builder philosophy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* feat: skill-specific Search Before Building integrations

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

All search steps include WebSearch fallback clause.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* docs: sync documentation with shipped changes

- ARCHITECTURE.md: preamble now handles 5 things (add Search Before Building)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3b22fc39 — Garry Tan a month ago
feat: opt-in usage telemetry + community intelligence platform (v0.8.6) (#210)

* feat: add gstack-telemetry-log and gstack-analytics scripts

Local telemetry infrastructure for gstack usage tracking.
gstack-telemetry-log appends JSONL events with skill name, duration,
outcome, session ID, and platform info. Supports off/anonymous/community
privacy tiers. gstack-analytics renders a personal usage dashboard
from local data.

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

* feat: add telemetry preamble injection + opt-in prompt + epilogue

Extends generatePreamble() with telemetry start block (config read,
timer, session ID, .pending marker), opt-in prompt (gated by
.telemetry-prompted), and epilogue instructions for Claude to log
events after skill completion. Adds 5 telemetry tests.

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

* chore: regenerate all SKILL.md files with telemetry blocks

Automated regeneration from gen-skill-docs.ts changes. All skills
now include telemetry start block, opt-in prompt, and epilogue.

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

* feat: add Supabase schema, edge functions, and SQL views

Telemetry backend infrastructure: telemetry_events table with RLS
(insert-only), installations table for retention tracking,
update_checks for install pings. Edge functions for update-check
(version + ping), telemetry-ingest (batch insert), and
community-pulse (weekly active count). SQL views for crash
clustering and skill co-occurrence sequences.

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

* feat: add telemetry-sync, community-dashboard, and integration tests

gstack-telemetry-sync: fire-and-forget JSONL → Supabase sync with
privacy tier field stripping, batch limits, and cursor tracking.
gstack-community-dashboard: CLI tool querying Supabase for skill
popularity, crash clusters, and version distribution.
19 integration tests covering all telemetry scripts.

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

* fix: session-specific .pending markers + crash_clusters view fix

Addresses Codex review findings:
- .pending race condition: use .pending-$SESSION_ID instead of
  shared .pending file to prevent concurrent session interference
- crash_clusters view: add total_occurrences and anonymous_occurrences
  columns since anonymous tier has no installation_id
- Added test: own session pending marker is not finalized

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

* feat: dual-attempt update check with Supabase install ping

Fires a parallel background curl to Supabase during the slow-path
version fetch. Logs upgrade_prompted event only on fresh fetches
(not cached replays) to avoid overcounting. GitHub remains the
primary version source — Supabase ping is fire-and-forget.

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

* feat: integrate telemetry usage stats into /retro output

Retro now reads ~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl and includes
gstack usage metrics (skill run counts, top skills, success rate)
in the weekly retrospective output.

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

* chore: move 'Skill usage telemetry' to Completed in TODOS.md

Implemented in this branch: local JSONL logging, opt-in prompt,
privacy tiers, Supabase backend, community dashboard, /retro
integration.

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

* feat: wire Supabase credentials and expose tables via Data API

Add supabase/config.sh with project URL and publishable key (safe to
commit — RLS restricts to INSERT only). Update telemetry-sync,
community-dashboard, and update-check to source the config and
include proper auth headers for the Supabase REST API.

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

* fix: add SELECT RLS policies to migration for community dashboard reads

All telemetry data is anonymous (no PII), so public reads via the
publishable key are safe. Needed for the community dashboard to
query skill popularity, crash clusters, and version distribution.

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

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.8.6)

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

* fix: analytics backward-compatible with old JSONL format

Handle old-format events (no event_type field) alongside new format.
Skip hook_fire events. Fix grep -c whitespace issues and unbound
variable errors.

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

* fix: map JSONL field names to Postgres columns in telemetry-sync

Local JSONL uses short names (v, ts, sessions) but the Supabase
table expects full names (schema_version, event_timestamp,
concurrent_sessions). Add sed mapping during field stripping.

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

* fix: address Codex adversarial findings — cursor, opt-out, queries

- Sync cursor now advances on HTTP 2xx (not grep for "inserted")
- Update-check respects telemetry opt-out before pinging Supabase
- Dashboard queries use correct view column names (total_occurrences)
- Sync strips old-format "repo" field to prevent privacy leak

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

* docs: add Privacy & Telemetry section to README

Transparent disclosure of what telemetry collects, what it never sends,
how to opt out, and a link to the schema so users can verify.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* feat: codex uses high reasoning effort by default

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

* feat: crank codex reasoning to xhigh (maximum)

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

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

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

* feat: JSONL output for codex challenge + consult modes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* test: update e2e test for codex skill

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

feat: safety hook skills + skill usage telemetry (v0.7.1) (#189)

* feat: add /careful, /freeze, /guard, /unfreeze safety hook skills

Four new on-demand skills using Claude Code's PreToolUse hooks:
- /careful: warns before destructive commands (rm -rf, DROP TABLE, force-push, etc.)
- /freeze: blocks file edits outside a specified directory
- /guard: composes both into one command
- /unfreeze: clears freeze boundary without ending session

Pure bash hook scripts with Python fallback for JSON edge cases.
Safe exceptions for build artifacts (node_modules, dist, .next, etc.).
Hook fire telemetry logs pattern name only (never command content).

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

* feat: add skill usage telemetry to preamble

TemplateContext system passes skill name through resolver pipeline so
each generated SKILL.md gets its own name baked into the telemetry line.
Appends to ~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl on every invocation.

Covers 14 preamble-using skills + 4 hook skills (inline telemetry).
JSONL format: {"skill":"ship","ts":"...","repo":"my-project"}

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

* feat: add analytics CLI for skill usage stats

bun run analytics reads ~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl and shows
top skills, per-repo breakdown, hook fire stats, and daily timeline.
Supports --period 7d/30d/all. Handles missing/empty/malformed data.

22 unit tests cover parsing, filtering, formatting, and edge cases.

* feat: add skills-used-this-week to /retro

Retro Step 2 now reads skill-usage.jsonl and shows which gstack skills
were used during the retro window. Follows the same pattern as the
Greptile signal and Backlog Health metrics — read file, filter by date,
aggregate, present. Skips silently if no analytics data exists.

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

* test: add hook script and telemetry tests

32 unit tests for check-careful.sh covering all 8 destructive patterns,
safe exceptions, Python fallback, and malformed input handling.
7 unit tests for check-freeze.sh covering boundary enforcement,
trailing slash edge case, and missing state file.
Telemetry tests verify per-skill name correctness in generated output.
Adds careful/freeze/guard/unfreeze/document-release to ALL_SKILLS.

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

* chore: bump version to 0.6.5 + changelog + mark TODOs shipped

Safety hook skills and skill usage telemetry shipped.
Analytics CLI and /retro integration included.

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

* feat: /debug auto-freezes edits to the module being debugged

Add PreToolUse hooks (Edit/Write) to debug/SKILL.md.tmpl that reference
the existing freeze/bin/check-freeze.sh. After Phase 1 investigation,
/debug locks edits to the narrowest affected directory.

Graceful degradation: if freeze script is unavailable, scope lock is
skipped. Users can run /unfreeze to remove the restriction.

Deferred 6 enhancements to TODOS.md, gated on telemetry showing the
freeze hook actually fires in real debugging sessions.

feat: natural language skill routing + proactive suggestions (v0.7.1) (#195)

* feat: add trigger phrases to /debug and /office-hours

These two skills had zero "Use when asked to..." phrases, making them
completely invisible to natural language. Users saying "debug this" or
"brainstorm an idea" would get no skill invocation.

* feat: add proactive triggers to all workflow skills

Every skill now has "Proactively suggest when..." language so Claude
surfaces skills at natural moments — not just when the user says
specific trigger phrases.

* feat: lifecycle map + proactive preference system

Root gstack description now includes a developer workflow guide mapping
12 stages to skills. Preamble reads proactive preference via gstack-config.
Users can opt out with "stop suggesting things" and re-enable with
"be proactive again" — natural language toggle, no CLI needed.

* test: 11 journey-stage E2E routing tests + trigger phrase validation

Each test simulates a real development stage (ideation, plan review,
debug, QA, ship, retro...) with realistic project context and verifies
the right skill fires from natural language alone. 11/11 pass.

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

feat: founder discovery engine + /debug skill — v0.7.0 (#185)

* feat: add escalation protocol to preamble — all skills get DONE/BLOCKED/NEEDS_CONTEXT

Every skill now reports completion status (DONE, DONE_WITH_CONCERNS, BLOCKED,
NEEDS_CONTEXT) and has escalation rules: 3 failed attempts → STOP, security
uncertainty → STOP, scope exceeds verification → STOP.

"It is always OK to stop and say 'this is too hard for me.'"

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

* feat: add verification gate to /ship (Step 6.5) — no push without fresh evidence

Before pushing, re-verify tests if code changed during review fixes.
Rationalization prevention: "Should work now" → RUN IT.
"I'm confident" → Confidence is not evidence.

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

* feat: add scope drift detection + verification of claims to /review

Step 1.5: Before reviewing code quality, check if the diff matches stated
intent. Flags scope creep and missing requirements (INFORMATIONAL).

Step 5 addition: Every review claim must cite evidence — "this pattern is
safe" needs a line reference, "tests cover this" needs a test name.

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

* feat: mandatory implementation alternatives + design doc lookup in /plan-ceo-review

Step 0C-bis: Every plan must consider 2-3 approaches (minimal viable vs ideal
architecture) before mode selection. RECOMMENDATION required.

Pre-Review System Audit now checks ~/.gstack/projects/ for /brainstorm design
docs (branch-filtered with fallback).

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

* feat: design doc lookup in /plan-eng-review + fix branch name sanitization

Step 0 now checks ~/.gstack/projects/ for /brainstorm design docs
(branch-filtered with fallback, reads Supersedes: for revision context).

Fix: branch names with '/' (e.g. garrytan/better-process) now get
sanitized via tr '/' '-' in test plan artifact filenames.

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

* feat: new /brainstorm and /debug skills

/brainstorm: Socratic design exploration before planning. Context gathering,
clarifying questions (smart-skip), related design discovery (keyword grep),
premise challenge, forced alternatives, design doc artifact with lineage
tracking (Supersedes: field). Writes to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/.

/debug: Systematic root-cause debugging. Iron Law: no fixes without root
cause investigation. Pattern analysis, hypothesis testing with 3-strike
escalation, structured DEBUG REPORT output.

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

* test: structural tests for new skills + escalation protocol assertions

Add brainstorm + debug to skillsWithUpdateCheck and skillsWithPreamble arrays.
Add structural tests: brainstorm (Phase 1-6, Design Doc, Supersedes, Smart-skip),
debug (Iron Law, Root Cause, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis, DEBUG REPORT, 3-strike).
Add escalation protocol tests (DONE_WITH_CONCERNS, BLOCKED, NEEDS_CONTEXT) for
all preamble skills.

Also: 2 new TODOs (design docs → Supabase sync, /plan-design-review skill),
update CLAUDE.md project structure with new skill directories.

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

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

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

* chore: rename /brainstorm → /office-hours across references

Update CHANGELOG, CLAUDE.md, TODOS, design-consultation, plan-ceo-review,
and gen-skill-docs to reference the new office-hours skill name.

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

* feat: YC Office Hours — dual-mode product diagnostic + builder brainstorm

Rewrite /office-hours with two modes:

Startup mode: six forcing questions (Demand Reality, Status Quo, Desperate
Specificity, Narrowest Wedge, Observation & Surprise, Future-Fit) that push
founders toward radical honesty about demand, users, and product decisions.
Includes smart routing by product stage, intrapreneurship adaptation, and
YC apply CTA for strong-signal founders.

Builder mode: generative brainstorming for side projects, hackathons,
learning, and open source. Enthusiastic collaborator tone, design thinking
questions, no business interrogation.

Mode is determined by an explicit question in Phase 1 — no guessing.

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

* test: add 14 assertions for YC Office Hours content coverage

Validates dual-mode structure (Startup/Builder), all six forcing questions,
builder brainstorming content, intrapreneurship adaptation, YC apply CTA,
and operating principles for both modes. 192 tests total, all passing.

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

* docs: update project documentation for v0.6.1

- README.md: added /office-hours and /debug to skills table, updated
  skill count from 13 to 15, added both to install instructions
- docs/skills.md: added /office-hours and /debug deep dive sections
- CLAUDE.md: updated office-hours description to reflect dual-mode
- CONTRIBUTING.md: updated skill count from 13 to 15
- CHANGELOG.md: added YC Office Hours and /debug entries to 0.6.0

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

* feat: founder discovery engine in /office-hours (v0.7.0)

Turn /office-hours into a YC founder discovery engine. Every session now
ends with three beats: signal reflection (specific callbacks to what the
user said), "One more thing." transition, and a personal plea from Garry
Tan with three tiers based on founder signal strength. Top tier uses
AskUserQuestion to ask directly and opens ycombinator.com/apply?ref=gstack.

Adds Phase 4.5 (Founder Signal Synthesis), "What I noticed about how you
think" section to both design doc templates, anti-slop GOOD/BAD examples,
and emotional targets per tier.

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

* test: add validation assertions for founder discovery engine

8 new assertions covering: YC apply CTA with ref=gstack tracking,
"What I noticed" design doc section, golden age framing, Garry Tan
personal plea, founder signal synthesis phase, three-tier decision
rubric, anti-slop GOOD/BAD examples, "One more thing" transition beat.

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

* feat: add trigger phrases to skill descriptions for better model matching

Anthropic's skill best practices: "the description field is not a summary —
it's when to trigger." Add explicit "Use when asked to..." phrases to 12 skill
descriptions so Claude's auto-discovery works with natural language requests
like "deploy this" or "check my diff", not just explicit /slash-commands.

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

* docs: add on-demand hooks and telemetry to TODOS.md

* docs: split README into lean intro + docs/ directory (gh CLI pattern)

README: 875 → 243 lines. Keeps intro, skill table, demo, install, and
troubleshooting. All per-skill deep dives, Greptile integration guide,
and contributor mode docs moved to docs/ directory.

- docs/skills.md — full philosophy and examples for all 13 skills
- docs/greptile.md — Greptile setup and triage workflow
- docs/contributor-mode.md — how to enable and use contributor mode
- README now links to docs/ via Documentation table
- Updated skill table entries with latest features (fix-first, regression
  tests, test health, completeness gaps)
- Updated demo transcript with AUTO-FIXED, coverage audit, regression test

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

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

Replace "browses competitors" with "knows the landscape" / "what's out
there" throughout all user-facing copy. Trim README from 243 to 167
lines — tighter, more opinionated, less listicle energy. Remove
Completeness Principle from README top (it lives in CLAUDE.md and the
skill preambles where Claude actually reads it).

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

* docs: rewrite README in Garry's raw voice — AGI era, L8 factory, real stories

The README now sounds like Garry, not a product page. Leads with the
live experiment, the 16k LOC/day reality, the real-life coding stories
(Austin, hospital bedside). Highlights the newest unlocks (design at
the heart, /qa parallelism, smart review routing, test bootstrap).
Closes with an open invitation — free MIT, fork it, let's all ride
the wave together.

feat: await support in browse js/eval + contributor mode v2 (#104)

* feat: support await in $B js and eval commands

Auto-wrap await expressions in async IIFE context so
$B js "await fetch(...)" works without SyntaxError.

- hasAwait() strips comments before detection
- js: expression wrapping (async()=>(expr))()
- eval: smart wrapping — single-line=expression, multi-line=block
- 6 new unit tests covering async, false-positive, and return semantics

* feat: redesign contributor mode — periodic reflection with 0-10 rating

Replace passive "report when things break" with active reflection:
- Rate gstack experience 0-10 at workflow step boundaries
- Historical calibration example (await bug) anchors the reporting bar
- "What would make this a 10" field focuses on actionable improvements
- Removed category lists in favor of judgment-based assessment

* test: add deterministic contributor mode preamble validation

40 new skill-validation tests (4 checks × 10 skills) verify:
- 0-10 rating scale present
- Calibration example present
- "What would make this a 10" field present
- Periodic reflection (not per-command)

Update existing E2E contributor eval for new report format.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.4.2)

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

* fix: improve contributor mode + qa-quick E2E reliability

Contributor mode:
- Add "do not truncate" directive to template — agent was stopping
  after "My rating" without completing Steps/Raw output/What would
  make this a 10 sections
- Restore assertions for Steps to reproduce and Date footer

QA quick:
- Make test server URL prominent: top of prompt, explicit "already
  running" and "do NOT discover ports" instructions
- Bump session timeout 180s→240s and test timeout 240s→300s
- Set B= at top of prompt (was buried in prose)

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

* fix: use flexible assertions for contributor mode E2E

Agent writes thorough reports with creative section names
("Repro Steps" vs "Steps to reproduce"). Match intent not formatting:
- /repro|steps to reproduce/ for reproduction steps
- /date.*2026/ for date footer presence

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

* docs: add E2E eval failure blame protocol

"Not related to our changes" is an extraordinary claim that requires
extraordinary proof. When evals fail during /ship:

1. Run the same eval on main — prove it fails there too
2. If it passes on main, it IS your change — trace the blame
3. If you can't verify, say "unverified" not "pre-existing"

Added to CLAUDE.md and as a comment in skill-e2e.test.ts.

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

* docs: update CONTRIBUTING.md and BROWSER.md for v0.4.2

CONTRIBUTING.md: update contributor mode description — now describes
periodic 0-10 reflection loop instead of passive friction detection.

BROWSER.md: add js/eval async documentation — await expressions are
auto-wrapped in async context, single-line eval returns values directly.

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

* fix: restore v0.4.2 changelog entries lost during cherry-pick conflict

The base branch detection entries from main were dropped when resolving
the CHANGELOG conflict — should have merged both sets, not replaced.

feat: contributor mode, session awareness, recommendation format (#90)

* feat: contributor mode, session awareness, universal RECOMMENDATION format

- Rename {{UPDATE_CHECK}} → {{PREAMBLE}} across all 10 skill templates
- Add session tracking (touch ~/.gstack/sessions/$PPID, count active sessions)
- ELI16 mode when 3+ concurrent sessions detected (re-ground user on context)
- Contributor mode: auto-file field reports to ~/.gstack/contributor-logs/
- Universal AskUserQuestion format: context → question → RECOMMENDATION → options
- Update plan-ceo-review and plan-eng-review to reference preamble baseline
- Add vendored symlink awareness section to CLAUDE.md
- Rewrite CONTRIBUTING.md with contributor workflow and cross-project testing
- Add tests for contributor mode and session awareness in generated output

* 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.

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

* feat: add E2E eval for session awareness ELI16 mode

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

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

* fix: contributor mode eval marked FAIL due to expected browse error

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

fix: browse binary discovery broken for agents (v0.3.5) (#44)

* fix: replace find-browse with direct path in SKILL.md setup blocks

Agents were skipping the find-browse binary and guessing bin/browse
(wrong path). Now the setup block explicitly checks browse/dist/browse
with workspace-local priority, global fallback.

Also adds || true to update check to prevent misleading exit code 1.

Adds {{UPDATE_CHECK}} and {{BROWSE_SETUP}} template placeholders to
gen-skill-docs.ts so all skills share a single source of truth.

* refactor: convert qa/ and setup-browser-cookies/ to .tmpl templates

Replaces hardcoded update check and find-browse blocks with
{{UPDATE_CHECK}} and {{BROWSE_SETUP}} placeholders. Both skills
are now generated from templates via gen-skill-docs.

* test: add e2e and LLM eval tests for SKILL.md setup block

- 3 Agent SDK e2e tests: happy path, NEEDS_SETUP, non-git-repo
- LLM eval: setup block clarity + actionability >= 4
- New error pattern: 'no such file or directory.*browse'

These tests catch the exact failure mode where agents can't discover
the browse binary via SKILL.md instructions.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.3.5)

feat: daily update check + /gstack-upgrade skill (v0.3.4) (#42)

* feat: add daily update check script + /gstack-upgrade skill

bin/gstack-update-check: pure bash, checks VERSION against remote once/day,
outputs UPGRADE_AVAILABLE or JUST_UPGRADED. Uses ~/.gstack/ for state.

gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md: new skill with inline upgrade flow for all preambles.
Detects global-git, local-git, vendored installs. Shows What's New from CHANGELOG.

browse/test/gstack-update-check.test.ts: 10 test cases covering all branch paths.

* refactor: remove version check from find-browse, simplify to binary locator

Delete checkVersion(), readCache(), writeCache(), fetchRemoteSHA(),
resolveSkillDir(), CacheEntry interface, REPO_URL/CACHE_PATH/CACHE_TTL
constants, and META output from find-browse.ts.

Version checking is now handled by bin/gstack-update-check (previous commit).

* feat: add update check preamble to all 9 skills

Every skill now runs bin/gstack-update-check on invocation. If an upgrade
is available, reads gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md inline upgrade flow.

Also adds AskUserQuestion to 5 skills that lacked it (gstack root, browse,
qa, retro, setup-browser-cookies) and Bash to plan-eng-review.

Simplifies qa and setup-browser-cookies setup blocks (removes META parsing).

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.3.4)

* fix: remove unused import + add corrupt cache test

Address pre-landing review findings:
- Remove unused mkdirSync import from gstack-update-check.test.ts
- Add Path I test: corrupt cache file falls through to remote fetch

feat: v0.3.2 — project-local state, diff-aware QA, Greptile integration (#36)

* fix: cookie import picker returns JSON instead of HTML

jsonResponse() was defined at module scope but referenced `url` which
only existed as a parameter of handleCookiePickerRoute(). Every API call
crashed, the catch block also crashed, and Bun returned a default HTML
page that the frontend couldn't parse as JSON.

Thread port via corsOrigin() helper and options objects. Add route-level
tests to prevent this class of bug from shipping again.

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

* feat: add help command to browse server

Agents that don't have SKILL.md loaded (or misread flags) had no way to
self-discover the CLI. The help command returns a formatted reference of
all commands and snapshot flags.

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

* feat: version-aware find-browse with META signal protocol

Agents in other workspaces found stale browse binaries that were missing
newer flags. find-browse now compares the local binary's git SHA against
origin/main via git ls-remote (4hr cache), and emits META:UPDATE_AVAILABLE
when behind. SKILL.md setup checks parse META signals and prompt the user
to update.

- New compiled binary: browse/dist/find-browse (TypeScript, testable)
- Bash shim at browse/bin/find-browse delegates to compiled binary
- .version file written at build time with git commit SHA
- Build script compiles both browse and find-browse binaries
- Graceful degradation: offline, missing .version, corrupt cache all skip check

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

bun build --compile leaves ~58MB temp files in the working directory.
Add rm -f .*.bun-build to the build script to clean up after each build.

* fix: make help command reachable by removing it from META_COMMANDS

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

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.3.2)

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

* feat: add shared Greptile comment triage reference doc

Shared reference for fetching, filtering, and classifying Greptile
review comments on GitHub PRs. Used by both /review and /ship skills.
Includes parallel API fetching, suppressions check, classification
logic, reply APIs, and history file writes.

* feat: make /review and /ship Greptile-aware

/review: Step 2.5 fetches and classifies Greptile comments, Step 5
resolves them with AskUserQuestion for valid issues and false positives.

/ship: Step 3.75 triages Greptile comments between pre-landing review
and version bump. Adds Greptile Review section to PR body in Step 8.
Re-runs tests if any Greptile fixes are applied.

* feat: add Greptile batting average to /retro

Reads ~/.gstack/greptile-history.md, computes signal ratio
(valid catches vs false positives), includes in metrics table,
JSON snapshot, and Code Quality Signals narrative.

* docs: add Greptile integration section to README

Personal endorsement, two-layer review narrative, full UX walkthrough
transcript, skills table updates. Add Greptile training feedback loop
to TODO.md future ideas.

* feat: add local dev mode for testing skills from within the repo

bin/dev-setup creates .claude/skills/gstack symlink to the working tree
so Claude Code discovers skills locally. bin/dev-teardown cleans up.
DEVELOPING_GSTACK.md documents the workflow.

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

* fix: narrow gitignore to .claude/skills/ instead of all .claude/

Avoids ignoring legitimate Claude Code config like settings.json or CLAUDE.md.

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

* docs: rename DEVELOPING_GSTACK.md to CONTRIBUTING.md

Rewritten as a contributor-friendly guide instead of a dry plan doc.

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

* docs: explain why dev-setup is needed in CONTRIBUTING.md quick start

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

* feat: add browser interaction guidance to CLAUDE.md

Prevents Claude from using mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools instead of /browse.

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

* feat: add shared config module for project-local browse state

Centralizes path resolution (git root detection, state dir, log paths) into
config.ts. Both cli.ts and server.ts import from it, eliminating duplicated
PORT_OFFSET/BROWSE_PORT/STATE_FILE logic.

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

* feat: rewrite port selection to use random ports

Replace CONDUCTOR_PORT magic offset and 9400-9409 scan with random port
10000-60000. Atomic state file writes, log paths from config module,
binaryVersion field for auto-restart on update.

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

* feat: move browse state from /tmp to project-local .gstack/

CLI now uses config module for state paths, passes BROWSE_STATE_FILE to
spawned server. Adds version mismatch auto-restart, legacy /tmp cleanup
with PID verification, and removes stale global install fallback.

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

* fix: update crash log path reference to .gstack/

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

* test: add config tests and update CLI lifecycle test

14 new tests for config resolution, ensureStateDir, readVersionHash,
resolveServerScript, and version mismatch detection. Remove obsolete
CONDUCTOR_PORT/BROWSE_PORT filtering from commands.test.ts.

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

* docs: update BROWSER.md and TODO.md for project-local state

Replace /tmp paths with .gstack/, remove CONDUCTOR_PORT docs, document
random port selection and per-project isolation. Add server bundling TODO.

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

* docs: update README, CHANGELOG, and CONTRIBUTING for v0.3.2

- README: replace Conductor-aware language with project-local isolation,
  add Greptile setup note
- CHANGELOG: comprehensive v0.3.2 entry with all state management changes
- CONTRIBUTING: add instructions for testing branches in other repos

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

* feat: add diff-aware mode to /qa — auto-tests affected pages from branch diff

When on a feature branch, /qa now reads git diff main, identifies affected
pages/routes from changed files, and tests them automatically. No URL required.
The most natural flow: write code, /ship, /qa.

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

* chore: update CHANGELOG for complete v0.3.2 coverage

Add missing entries: diff-aware QA mode, Greptile integration,
local dev mode, crash log path fix, README/SKILL.md updates.

* Phase 2: Rewrite SKILL.md as QA playbook + command reference

Reorient SKILL.md files from raw command reference to QA-first playbook
with 10 workflow patterns (test user flows, verify deployments, dogfood
features, responsive layouts, file upload, forms, dialogs, compare pages).
Compact command reference tables at the bottom.

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

* Phase 3: /qa skill — systematic QA testing with health scores

New /qa skill for systematic web app QA testing. Three modes:
- full: 5-10 documented issues with screenshots and repro steps
- quick: 30-second smoke test with health score
- regression: compare against saved baseline

Includes issue taxonomy (7 categories, 4 severity levels), structured
report template, health score rubric (weighted across 7 categories),
framework detection guidance (Next.js, Rails, WordPress, SPA).

Also adds browse/bin/find-browse (DRY binary discovery using git
rev-parse), .gstack/ to .gitignore, and updated TODO roadmap.

* Bump to v0.3.0 — Phase 2 + Phase 3 changelog

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

* feat: cookie-import-browser — Chromium cookie decryption module + tests

Pure logic module for reading and decrypting cookies from macOS Chromium
browsers (Comet, Chrome, Arc, Brave, Edge). Supports v10 AES-128-CBC
encryption with macOS Keychain access, PBKDF2 key derivation, and
per-browser key caching. 18 unit tests with encrypted cookie fixtures.

* feat: cookie picker web UI + route handler

Two-panel dark-theme picker served from the browse server. Left panel
shows source browser domains with search and import buttons. Right panel
shows imported domains with trash buttons. No cookie values exposed.
6 API endpoints, importedDomains Set tracking, inline clearCookies.

* feat: wire cookie-import-browser into browse server

Add cookie-picker route dispatch (no auth, localhost-only), add
cookie-import-browser to WRITE_COMMANDS and CHAIN_WRITE, add serverPort
property to BrowserManager, add write command with two modes (picker UI
vs --domain direct import), update CLI help text.

* chore: /setup-browser-cookies skill + docs (Phase 3.5)

* security: redact sensitive values from command output (PR #21)

type no longer echoes text (reports character count), cookie redacts
value with ****, header redacts Authorization/Cookie/X-API-Key/X-Auth-Token,
storage set drops value, forms redacts password fields. Prevents secrets
from persisting in LLM transcripts. 7 new tests.

* fix: auto-install Playwright Chromium in setup (PR #22)

Setup now verifies Playwright can launch Chromium, and auto-installs
it via `bunx playwright install chromium` if missing. Exits non-zero
if build or Chromium launch fails.
