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: smart update check with auto-upgrade, snooze backoff, config CLI (v0.3.9) (#62)

* feat: add bin/gstack-config CLI for reading/writing ~/.gstack/config.yaml

Simple get/set/list interface for persistent gstack configuration.
Used by update-check and upgrade skill for auto_upgrade and update_check settings.

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

* feat: smart update check with 12h cache, snooze backoff, config disable

- Reduce cache TTL from 24h to 12h for faster update detection
- Add exponential snooze backoff: 24h → 48h → 1 week (resets on new version)
- Add update_check: false config option to disable checks entirely
- Clear snooze file on just-upgraded
- 14 new tests covering snooze levels, expiry, corruption, and config paths

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

* feat: upgrade skill with auto-upgrade, 4-option prompt, vendored sync

- Auto-upgrade mode via config or GSTACK_AUTO_UPGRADE=1 env var
- 4-option AskUserQuestion: upgrade once, always, not now, never
- Step 4.5: sync local vendored copy after upgrading primary install
- Snooze write with escalating backoff on "Not now"
- Update preamble text in gen-skill-docs for new upgrade flow
- Regenerate all SKILL.md files

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

* docs: simplify upgrade instructions, move auto-upgrade to completed

README now points to /gstack-upgrade instead of long paste commands.
Auto-upgrade TODO moved to Completed section (v0.3.8).

feat: TODOS-aware skills, 2-tier Greptile replies, gitignore fix (#61)

* fix: log non-ENOENT errors in ensureStateDir() instead of silently swallowing

Replace bare catch {} with ENOENT-only silence. Non-ENOENT errors (EACCES,
ENOSPC) are now logged to .gstack/browse-server.log. Includes test for
permission-denied scenario with chmod 444.

* feat: merge TODO.md + TODOS.md into unified backlog with shared format reference

Merge TODO.md (roadmap) and TODOS.md (near-term) into one file organized by
skill/component with P0-P4 priority ordering and Completed section. Add shared
review/TODOS-format.md for canonical format. Add static validation tests.

* feat: add 2-tier Greptile reply system with escalation detection

Add reply templates (Tier 1 friendly, Tier 2 firm), explicit escalation
detection algorithm, and severity re-ranking guidance to greptile-triage.md.

* feat: cross-skill TODOS awareness + Greptile template refs in all skills

/ship Step 5.5: auto-detect completed TODOs, offer reorganization.
/review Step 5.5: cross-reference PR against open TODOs.
/plan-ceo-review, /plan-eng-review: TODOS context in planning.
/retro: Backlog Health metric. /qa: bug TODO context in diff-aware mode.
All Greptile-aware skills now reference reply templates and escalation detection.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.3.8)

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

* docs: update CONTRIBUTING.md for v0.3.8 changes

Clarify test tier cost table (Tier 3 standalone vs combined), add TODOS.md
to "Things to know", mention Greptile triage in ship workflow description.

Add element crop (CSS selector or @ref), region clip (--clip x,y,w,h),
and viewport-only (--viewport) modes to the screenshot command. Uses
Playwright's native locator.screenshot() and page.screenshot({ clip }).
Full page remains the default. Includes 10 new tests covering all modes
and error paths.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.3.7)

fix: harden planted-bug eval prompt for reliable form testing

Phase 3 was too vague ("click every nav link") causing the agent to
wander instead of systematically testing form fields. Now explicitly
directs: fill every input, clear it, try invalid values, submit and
check console. Added Phase 4 finalize step to ensure report is updated
with all findings.

Merge pull request #55 from garrytan/v0.3.6-qa-upgrades

feat: E2E observability + eval infrastructure + all skills templated
baf8acd5 — Garry Tan a month ago
fix: update check ignores stale UP_TO_DATE cache after version change

The UP_TO_DATE cache path exited immediately without checking if the
cached version still matched the local VERSION. After upgrading (e.g.
0.3.3 → 0.3.4), the cache still said "UP_TO_DATE 0.3.3" and the
script never re-checked against remote — so updates were invisible
until the 24h cache expired.

Now both UP_TO_DATE and UPGRADE_AVAILABLE verify cached version vs
local before trusting the cache.

fix: auto-clear stale heartbeat when process is dead

Add PID to heartbeat file. eval-watch checks process.kill(pid, 0) and
auto-deletes the heartbeat when the PID is no longer alive — no manual
cleanup needed after crashed/killed E2E runs.

fix: fail fast on API connectivity — pre-check before E2E suite

Spawn a quick claude -p ping before running 13 tests. If the Anthropic API
is unreachable (ConnectionRefused), throw immediately instead of burning
through the entire suite with silent false passes.

fix: never clean up observability artifacts — partial file persists after finalize

Removing the _partial-e2e.json deletion from finalize(). These are small files
on a local disk and their persistence is the whole point of observability.

fix: detect is_error from claude -p result line (ConnectionRefused was PASS)

claude -p can return subtype="success" with is_error=true when the API is
unreachable. Previously we only checked subtype, so API failures silently
passed. Now check is_error first and report as 'error_api'.

feat: eval-watch dashboard + observability unit tests (15 tests, 11 codepaths)

eval-watch: live terminal dashboard reads heartbeat + partial file every 1s,
shows completed/running tests, stale detection (>10min), --tail flag for
progress.log tail. Pure renderDashboard() function for testability.

observability.test.ts: unit tests for sanitizeTestName, heartbeat schema,
progress.log format, NDJSON file naming, savePartial() with _partial flag,
finalize() cleanup, diagnostic fields, watcher rendering, stale detection,
and non-fatal I/O guarantees.

feat: wire runId + testName + diagnostics through all E2E tests

Generate per-session runId, pass testName + runId to every runSkillTest() call,
wire exit_reason/timeout_at_turn/last_tool_call through recordE2E(). Add
eval:watch script entry to package.json.

f9cfabed — Garry Tan a month ago
feat: add E2E observability — heartbeat, progress.log, NDJSON persistence, savePartial()

session-runner: atomic heartbeat file (e2e-live.json), per-run log directory
(~/.gstack-dev/e2e-runs/{runId}/), progress.log + per-test NDJSON persistence,
failure transcripts to persistent run dir instead of tmpdir.

eval-store: 3 new diagnostic fields (exit_reason, timeout_at_turn, last_tool_call),
savePartial() writes _partial-e2e.json after each addTest() for crash resilience,
finalize() cleans up partial file.

fix: plan-ceo-review timeout — init git repo, skip codebase exploration, bump to 420s

The CEO review SKILL.md has a "System Audit" step that runs git commands.
In an empty tmpdir without a git repo, the agent wastes turns exploring.
Fix: init minimal git repo, tell agent to skip codebase exploration,
bump test timeouts to 420s for all review/retro tests.

fix: increase timeouts for plan-review and retro E2E tests

plan-ceo-review takes ~300s (thorough 10-section review), retro takes
~220s (many git commands for history analysis). Bumped runSkillTest
timeout to 300s and test timeout to 360s. Also accept error_max_turns
for these verbose skills.

feat: template-ify all skills + E2E tests for plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review, retro

- Convert gstack-upgrade to SKILL.md.tmpl template system
- All 10 skills now use templates (consistent auto-generated headers)
- Add comprehensive template validation tests (22 tests):
  every skill has .tmpl, generated SKILL.md has header, valid frontmatter,
  --dry-run reports FRESH, no unresolved placeholders
- Add E2E tests for /plan-ceo-review, /plan-eng-review, /retro
- Mark /ship, /setup-browser-cookies, /gstack-upgrade as test.todo (destructive/interactive)

test: add update-check exit code regression tests

Guards against the "exits 1 when up to date" bug that broke skill
preambles. Two new tests: real VERSION + unreachable remote, and
multi-call sequence verifying exit 0 in all states.
