Module owning dispatch error mapping, fallback policy, timeout classification, and CLI exit mapping contract.
Canonical error kind set:
unknown_commandnative_failurenative_timeoutfallback_failurevalidation_errorinternal_errorCanonical command metadata Interface powering alias, catalog, and semantics generation.
Module owning query-time context resolution for projectDir and ws, including precedence and validation policy used by query adapters.
Adapter Module that satisfies native query dispatch at the Dispatch Policy seam, so policy modules consume a focused dispatch Interface instead of closure-wired call sites.
Module owning projection from dispatch results/errors to CLI { exitCode, stdoutChunks, stderrLines } output contract.
Shared CJS/SDK pure transform Module owning STATE.md parse, field extraction, field replacement, status normalization, and frontmatter reconstruction. It does not scan .planning/phases and does not own persistence or locking; phase/plan/summary counts arrive from inventory/progress Modules as inputs, and CJS/SDK read-modify-write paths remain Adapters.
Module owning query transport routing policy projection (preferNative, fallback policy, workstream subprocess forcing) at execution seam.
Adapter Module owning subprocess execution contract for query commands (JSON/raw invocation, @file: indirection parsing, timeout/exit error projection).
Canonical command normalization and resolution Interface (query-command-resolution-strategy) used by internal query/transport paths after dead-wrapper convergence.
Module owning command resolution, policy projection (mutation, output_mode), unknown-command diagnosis, and handler Adapter binding at one seam for query dispatch.
Compatibility Adapter Module for gsd-tools.cjs command families. Uses generated command metadata plus small argument shapers to route to CJS handlers, rather than calling SDK Command Topology directly. Preserves CJS compatibility startup while reducing hand-written router drift.
Module policy that defines query-time behavior when .planning/config.json is absent: use built-in defaults for parity-sensitive query Interfaces, and emit parity-aligned empty model ids for pre-project model resolution surfaces.
Module owning .planning path resolution, active workstream pointer policy (session-scoped > shared), pointer self-heal behavior, and planning lock semantics for workstream-aware execution.
Shared CJS/SDK Module owning workstream directory discovery, per-workstream state projection, phase/plan/summary counting, roadmap-declared phase count, active marker projection, and active-workstream collision inputs. Command handlers render list/status/progress outputs from this inventory instead of rescanning .planning/workstreams/* directly.
SDK query Module owning projection from project/workstream context to concrete .planning paths. Policy precedence is explicit workstream > env workstream > env project > root. Invalid workspace context is a validation error at this seam rather than a silent fallback.
Adapter Module owning linked-worktree root mapping and metadata-prune policy (git worktree prune non-destructive default) for planning/workstream callers.
Module owning SDK-to-get-shit-done-cc compatibility policy: legacy asset discovery, install-layout probing, transition-only error messaging, and thin Adapter access for CJS-era assets that native SDK Modules have not replaced yet.
Module owning runtime-aware global skills directory policy for SDK query surfaces. Resolves runtime-global skills bases/skill paths from runtime + env precedence, renders display paths for warnings/manifests, and reports unsupported runtimes with no skills directory.
Module owning validation for Installer Migration Module records and planned actions. It enforces migration metadata, explicit install scopes, ownership evidence for destructive/config actions, and runtime contract citations for runtime config rewrites before a migration can enter planning or apply.
Phase-level planning mode that frames work as a vertical slice (UI → API → DB) of one user-visible capability instead of horizontal layers. Resolved at workflow init via the precedence chain: --mvp CLI flag → ROADMAP.md **Mode:** mvp field → workflow.mvp_mode config → false. All-or-nothing per phase (PRD #2826 Q1). Surfaced as MVP_MODE=true|false to the planner, executor, verifier, and discovery surfaces (progress, stats, graphify). Canonical parser: roadmap.cjs **Mode:** field; canonical resolution chain documented in workflows/plan-phase.md. Concept index: references/mvp-concepts.md.
Phase-goal format under MVP Mode: As a [role], I want to [capability], so that [outcome]. Required regex shape: /^As a .+, I want to .+, so that .+\.$/. Used as the framing input by gsd-planner (emits as bolded ## Phase Goal header in PLAN.md) and as the verification target by gsd-verifier (the [outcome] clause is the goal-backward verification anchor). Authored interactively by /gsd-mvp-phase, validated by SPIDR Splitting when too large.
Phase 1 deliverable under --mvp on a new project: the thinnest end-to-end stack proving every layer (framework, DB, routing, deployment) works together. Emitted as SKELETON.md capturing the architectural decisions subsequent vertical slices inherit. Gate fires when phase_number == "01" AND prior_summaries == 0 AND MVP_MODE=true. Scope intentionally narrow (PRD #2826 Q2) — does not retrofit existing projects.
Single-feature task that moves one user capability from open-to-close (happy path) end-to-end. Contrast with the horizontal layer (all models, then all APIs, then all UI). The MVP Mode planning unit; SPIDR Splitting axes (Spike, Paths, Interfaces, Data, Rules) are the canonical decomposition tools when a slice is too large for one phase.
Predicate over a PLAN.md task: tdd="true" frontmatter AND <behavior> block names a user-visible outcome AND <files> includes at least one non-*.md / non-*.json / non-*.test.* source file. Pure doc/config/test-only tasks are exempt. The MVP+TDD Gate (in references/execute-mvp-tdd.md) only halts execution on this predicate; the gsd-executor agent applies all three checks at runtime. Currently a prose-only specification — no shared utility.
Per-task runtime gate in /gsd-execute-phase that, when both MVP_MODE and TDD_MODE are true, refuses to advance a Behavior-Adding Task until a failing-test commit (test({phase}-{plan})) exists for it. The tdd_review_checkpoint end-of-phase review escalates from advisory to blocking under the same condition. Documented contract: references/execute-mvp-tdd.md. Reserved escape hatch --force-mvp-gate is documented but not implemented.
Five-axis story decomposition discipline (Spike, Paths, Interfaces, Data, Rules) used by /gsd-mvp-phase when a User Story is too large for one phase. Full interactive flow per PRD #2826 Q3 (not a lightweight filter). Reference: get-shit-done/references/spidr-splitting.md.

Warn → fail-closed for security-relevant path checks..planning/workstreams/* must be addressable by workstream status/set/complete, so creation and migration must share the same name contract.--migrate-name values created directories that later commands reject (e.g. Bad Name directory exists but CLI rejects it as invalid).--migrate-name through the same slug transform as workstream create ([a-z0-9-]), and fail fast if normalization yields empty.workstream create ... --migrate-name 'Bad Name' migrates to bad-name and does not leave Bad Name on disk.(N shipped) and a footnote says N-1 top-level references, update the footnote. CodeRabbit catches this every time.capture --backlog), the old command's process steps must be ported to a get-shit-done/workflows/<name>.md file. The routing wrapper in commands/gsd/*.md declares an execution_context @-reference to that workflow — if the file doesn't exist the agent loads nothing and has no steps to follow.tests/bug-3135-capture-backlog-workflow.test.cjs adds a broad regression — every execution_context @-reference in any commands/gsd/*.md must resolve to an existing file on disk. This test will catch all future gaps of this class immediately.reapply-patches.md was the first gap found and fixed in PR #2824 itself. add-backlog.md was missed in the same PR and caught later in #3135. Run the regression test after every consolidation PR.// allow-test-rule: to silence lint, CodeRabbit's existing inline threads remain open even though the acknowledged fix is in place. Resolve them via resolveReviewThread GraphQL mutation before merging — open threads block clean merge history and mislead future reviewers.gh api graphql -f query='mutation { resolveReviewThread(input:{threadId:"PRRT_..."}) { thread { isResolved } } }'docs/) immediately, then force-push the original branch to remove the commit. One concern per PR.docs/INVENTORY.md tracks the shipped workflow count (## Workflows (N shipped)) and has one row per file. Adding or removing a workflow without updating INVENTORY produces an internally inconsistent doc.docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json — it is the machine-readable manifest and must stay in sync with the filesystem.Invoked by attribution in INVENTORY must move to the new parent (e.g. add-todo.md incorrectly claimed /gsd-capture --backlog until #3135 corrected it).README.md should be ≤300 lines: hero, author note, 6-step loop, install, core command table, why-it-works bullets, config key dials, docs index, minimal troubleshooting.### directly inside admonitions; use bold instead), MD040 (fenced code blocks must declare a language identifier).git branch -a | grep <issue>), (2) untracked/modified files on that branch, (3) stash, (4) open PRs with matching head branch. A crash may have left work 90% done — recover and commit rather than re-implementing.gsd-sdk query verb implemented only in the SDK native registry (no gsd-tools.cjs mirror) must be added to NO_CJS_SUBPROCESS_REASON in sdk/src/golden/golden-policy.ts. Without this entry the golden-policy test fails, treating the verb as a missing implementation rather than an intentional SDK-only path.When a command delegates to a workflow via execution_context, the command's allowed-tools must cover every tool the workflow calls — including Write for file creation. The thin wrapper pattern makes this easy to miss: the process steps live in the workflow, but the tool grant lives in the command frontmatter. Missing a tool silently fails at runtime.
Any workflow step that takes user input (subcommand argument, $ARGUMENTS, or parsed remainder) and constructs a .planning/…/{SLUG}.md path must sanitize first: strip non-[a-z0-9-] chars, reject ..///\, enforce max length. Document the sanitization inline at the step, not just in <security_notes>. Steps that say "(already sanitized)" must trace back to an explicit sanitization guard — not just a preceding describe block.
CLOSE and STATUS modes that document "(already sanitized)" do not automatically cover RESUME or default modes. Each mode that constructs a file path from user input needs its own guard — don't assume sibling modes share state.
When a lint script and a test suite both implement the same constant (CANONICAL_TOOLS) or parser (parseFrontmatter, executionContextRefs), they will silently diverge. Extract to a scripts/*-helpers.cjs module required by both. A tool added to the lint's allowlist but not the test's (or vice versa) causes one layer to pass while the other fails.
Module-level or suite-registration-time readFileSync throws as an unhandled exception if the file is absent, aborting the runner with no test output. Move reads inside test() callbacks so failures surface as named test failures.
g flag carries lastIndex state between callsA const RE = /pattern/g shared across functions retains lastIndex after .test() or .exec(). Use a non-global pattern for boolean checks (/pattern/.test(s)) and create a new RegExp(pattern, 'g') per iteration when you need exec() loops. Forgetting lastIndex = 0 resets causes intermittent false negatives.
Every docs/adr/NNNN-*.md file must open with - **Status:** Accepted (or Proposed/Deprecated) and - **Date:** YYYY-MM-DD immediately after the title. Without them the ADR is undatable and untriageable when the list grows.
All workflow file names use hyphens; <step name="..."> attributes inside those files must match: extract-learnings not extract_learnings. Tests asserting content.includes('<step name=') should tighten to the exact hyphenated name so renames are caught.
docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json has families.workflows (canonical, read by tooling) and a stale top-level workflows key (introduced by a node update script that wrote to the wrong key). Always update families.workflows. Delete any top-level workflows key if it appears.
After stripping prose @-refs, some command <process> blocks retained bolded "Follow the X workflow" fragments. ADR-0002 standard is Execute end-to-end. for single-workflow commands. Routing commands with flag dispatch use execute the X workflow end-to-end. in routing bullets (no bold, no redundant path).

DEFECT.FORMAT=class.sub-key=value | classes are greppable; each class carries detect / fix / anchor sub-keys when applicable
DEFECT.PORT-DRIFT.cjs-sdk.symptom=SDK port (sdk/src/query/*.ts) cites bin/lib/*.cjs source in docstring; CJS gets a fix or new constant; SDK lags silently
DEFECT.PORT-DRIFT.cjs-sdk.examples=#3317 (skills missing from SDK GSD_MANAGED_DIRS), #3240 (extractFrontmatter anchor), #3226 (phase.add --dry-run), #3243 (cjs dotted canonical), #3229 (model catalog source-of-truth)
DEFECT.PORT-DRIFT.cjs-sdk.detect=grep canonical constant in CJS, then in SDK; if both present compare values; if only CJS present treat as port-gap until proven intentional
DEFECT.PORT-DRIFT.cjs-sdk.fix-forward=add SDK-side behavioral test mirroring the CJS test; or extract shared JSON/TS module if both runtimes can consume it
DEFECT.PORT-DRIFT.cjs-sdk.anchor=tests/config-schema-sdk-parity.test.cjs is the canonical pattern — replicate per port-pair
DEFECT.REMOVED-BUT-NEEDED.symptom=file/key removed because "scoped under sdk/" or "no longer used" without verifying every consumer (workflows, docs, manifests, npm scripts)
DEFECT.REMOVED-BUT-NEEDED.examples=#3316 root package-lock.json (root package.json declares deps; workflows use cache:'npm' + npm ci), e3b52c70 docs referenced removed /gsd-new-workspace
DEFECT.REMOVED-BUT-NEEDED.detect=before deletion, grep filename across .github/workflows, get-shit-done/, docs/, package.json scripts, sdk/scripts; if any reference exists removal is incomplete
DEFECT.REMOVED-BUT-NEEDED.fix-forward=restore the file or update every consumer in the same commit; do not paper over with --no-package-lock or workflow workarounds that lose reproducibility
DEFECT.STATE-TRAMPLE.symptom=state-mutation paths overwrite curated values when body-derived computation is narrower than what's stored in frontmatter
DEFECT.STATE-TRAMPLE.examples=#3242 (Last Activity overwrote progress.completed_plans), #3257 (nested plans/ files uncounted), #3261 (buildStateFrontmatter), #3265 (canonical fields), #3286 (record-metric/add-decision sections)
DEFECT.STATE-TRAMPLE.detect=any state writer that calls buildStateFrontmatter without preserving existing progress.* keys; any mutation surface that does not honor shouldPreserveExistingProgress
DEFECT.STATE-TRAMPLE.fix-forward=route through state-document.cjs/.ts shouldPreserveExistingProgress + normalizeProgressNumbers (extracted in #3316 SDK-first seams)
DEFECT.PHASE-DIR-PREFIX-DRIFT.symptom=multiple workflow files independently construct .planning/phases/{NN}-{slug} paths; project_code prefix or slug normalization missing in some surfaces
DEFECT.PHASE-DIR-PREFIX-DRIFT.examples=#3287 (init.phase-op + init.plan-phase first-touch), #3306/PRED.k015 (plan-milestone-gaps + import + add-backlog), #3297/#3298 (sibling reports)
DEFECT.PHASE-DIR-PREFIX-DRIFT.detect=grep mkdir/touch/path.join with {NN}-{slug} or padded_phase + phase_slug; if not consuming expected_phase_dir from init.* JSON it is drifting
DEFECT.PHASE-DIR-PREFIX-DRIFT.fix-forward=consume expected_phase_dir from init.phase-op / init.plan-phase output; never re-construct from padded_phase + slug in workflow steps
DEFECT.PHASE-DIR-PREFIX-DRIFT.anchor=tests/bug-3298-phase-dir-prefix-drift-in-workflows.test.cjs (broad regression across workflow surfaces)
DEFECT.STACKED-PR-AUTO-RETARGET.symptom=PR #N is stacked on branch B; branch B merges to main and is deleted; GitHub does not reliably auto-retarget #N to main; PR shows DIRTY/CONFLICTING with phantom conflicts
DEFECT.STACKED-PR-AUTO-RETARGET.examples=#3311 base fix/3255-add-json-errors-mode-gsd-tools deleted after #3304 merged
DEFECT.STACKED-PR-AUTO-RETARGET.detect=ls-remote shows base ref absent; PR base still points at the deleted ref; mergeable=CONFLICTING with no real diff conflicts
DEFECT.STACKED-PR-AUTO-RETARGET.fix-forward=PATCH /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{N} -f base=main; rebase head onto current main; resolve carry-over commits (parent commits will auto-drop as patch contents already upstream)
DEFECT.BOT-BRANCH-STALE-BASE.symptom=auto-branch.yml creates fix/{N}-{slug} when issue is filed; branch is anchored to issue-creation main; by the time work begins, main has moved
DEFECT.BOT-BRANCH-STALE-BASE.examples=#3309 fix/3309-checkpoint-type-human-verify-burns-token (was at e14ef535; main at 2e87c60a)
DEFECT.BOT-BRANCH-STALE-BASE.detect=git merge-base origin/<bot-branch> origin/main returns the bot branch tip — confirms the bot branch is an ancestor of main, just stale
DEFECT.BOT-BRANCH-STALE-BASE.fix-forward=git checkout --detach origin/main; do work; git checkout -b <same-branch-name>; force-push with --force-with-lease
DEFECT.SUPERSEDED-CONCURRENT-PRS.symptom=multiple in-flight PRs attack overlapping subsets of the same issue; the broadest one merges first; narrower siblings remain open with phantom conflicts
DEFECT.SUPERSEDED-CONCURRENT-PRS.examples=#3303 + #3307 superseded by #3306 (all addressing #3297/#3298 project_code prefix family)
DEFECT.SUPERSEDED-CONCURRENT-PRS.detect=after a fix lands on main, grep recently-merged PR title for shared keyword/issue; check open PRs touching same files; if open PRs are subsets of merged work they are superseded
DEFECT.SUPERSEDED-CONCURRENT-PRS.fix-forward=close superseded PRs via gh api PATCH state=closed; do not comment on self-authored PRs (k101); the link to the merged PR makes supersession discoverable in PR history
DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION.symptom=custom XML element name in agent .md file matches scripts/scan-prompt-injection regex; legitimate agent vocabulary trips the security gate
DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION.examples=#3309 added a bare 'human' element (angle-bracket-wrapped) for verify-block harvesting; tests/prompt-injection-scan.test.cjs flags angle-bracket-wrapped names matching system|assistant|human (open or close form)
DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION.detect=any new bare tag in agents/*.md
DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION.fix-forward=hyphenate the tag (<human-check>, <assistant-prompt>) — scanner regex matches bare names only
DEFECT.INVENTORY-DRIFT.symptom=new file added under get-shit-done/references/ or get-shit-done/workflows/ without updating docs/INVENTORY.md count + row AND docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json
DEFECT.INVENTORY-DRIFT.examples=#3309 planner-human-verify-mode.md (caught by tests/inventory-counts.test.cjs + tests/inventory-manifest-sync.test.cjs)
DEFECT.INVENTORY-DRIFT.detect=tests/inventory-* fails with "References (N shipped) disagrees with filesystem" or "New surfaces not in manifest"
DEFECT.INVENTORY-DRIFT.fix-forward=update INVENTORY.md headline count + row entry + footnote count; run node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write to regen INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json; only families.workflows is canonical (top-level workflows key is stale)
DEFECT.AGENT-FILE-SIZE-CAP-BREACH.symptom=adding to agents/gsd-planner.md (or other large agent files) exceeds the 45K char extraction-evidence threshold
DEFECT.AGENT-FILE-SIZE-CAP-BREACH.state=gsd-planner.md is already 49,121 chars on main (over 45K); test fails on main; net-new content makes it strictly worse
DEFECT.AGENT-FILE-SIZE-CAP-BREACH.detect=tests/planner-decomposition.test.cjs ("planner is under 45K chars (proves mode sections were extracted)") and tests/reachability-check.test.cjs ("file stays under 50000 char limit")
DEFECT.AGENT-FILE-SIZE-CAP-BREACH.fix-forward=mirror MVP mode pattern — extract full rules to get-shit-done/references/planner-<mode>.md, leave a slim Detection section in the agent file with @-reference to the new file
DEFECT.CHANGESET-PR-FIELD-DRIFT.symptom=.changeset/*.md frontmatter pr: value is the issue number, a guess made before PR opened, or a stale stacked-PR number
DEFECT.CHANGESET-PR-FIELD-DRIFT.examples=#3316 (pr:3312 was the issue), #3325 (pr:3319 was a guess); already covered in CONTEXT.md L94 + L186 but recurs every cycle
DEFECT.CHANGESET-PR-FIELD-DRIFT.detect=changeset pr: value mismatches the actual PR number returned by gh api POST /pulls
DEFECT.CHANGESET-PR-FIELD-DRIFT.fix-forward=author changeset with placeholder pr:0; immediately after gh api POST /pulls returns the number, edit changeset and amend or follow-up commit; never guess
DEFECT.WORKTREE-FETCH-SHA-DIVERGENCE.symptom=in a worktree, git fetch origin pull/N/head:pr-N produces commits with SHAs different from the actual remote PR head SHA; force-push rejected as non-fast-forward despite recent fetch
DEFECT.WORKTREE-FETCH-SHA-DIVERGENCE.examples=this session, branch fix/3309-... and pr-3316
DEFECT.WORKTREE-FETCH-SHA-DIVERGENCE.detect=git rev-parse HEAD~1 vs git rev-parse origin/<actual-branch-ref> — if they differ despite fetch the local copy was rewritten by some checkout-time hook
DEFECT.WORKTREE-FETCH-SHA-DIVERGENCE.fix-forward=git checkout --detach origin/<actual-remote-branch> directly; do work from detached HEAD; push HEAD:<remote-branch>
DEFECT.WINDOWS-FS-OPS.symptom=fs.renameSync / fs.copyFileSync hits EPERM/EBUSY on Windows when antivirus or another process holds a transient handle on the target
DEFECT.WINDOWS-FS-OPS.examples=c47c2c5d build-hooks rename → copy fallback, d2412271 install Windows persistent SDK shim
DEFECT.WINDOWS-FS-OPS.detect=any rename/copy in build/install path without try/catch fallback
DEFECT.WINDOWS-FS-OPS.fix-forward=catch EPERM/EBUSY/EACCES, fall back to copy + unlink with retry, surface degraded-mode message; never silently swallow
DEFECT.UNBOUNDED-SUBPROCESS.symptom=git/npm subprocess shelled out without timeout; CLI hangs indefinitely on stuck remote, large repo, or missing network
DEFECT.UNBOUNDED-SUBPROCESS.examples=a33cbe72 worktree fix bound git subprocesses with timeout
DEFECT.UNBOUNDED-SUBPROCESS.detect=execSync/execFileSync/spawnSync without timeout option in non-test code; especially git list-worktrees, git fetch, npm view
DEFECT.UNBOUNDED-SUBPROCESS.fix-forward=add timeout (5-30s for git, 60s for npm); on timeout return degraded result + structured warning rather than throw
DEFECT.PARSER-BRITTLE-MARKER-WHITELIST.symptom=human-output parser whitelists known markers (severity, status); silently drops unfamiliar markers as malformed
DEFECT.PARSER-BRITTLE-MARKER-WHITELIST.examples=ac518646/#3263 code-review SUMMARY parser rejected BL-/blocker variants
DEFECT.PARSER-BRITTLE-MARKER-WHITELIST.detect=any parser with hard-coded marker list; any parser that returns empty for non-matching input without warning
DEFECT.PARSER-BRITTLE-MARKER-WHITELIST.fix-forward=accept variants explicitly (case-insensitive, hyphen/space alternatives); on unknown marker emit a structured WARN with the original line so the human can fix the source
DEFECT.HALT-COST-PATTERN.symptom=architecturally-sound checkpoint pattern produces hidden token cost because subagent context is discarded across the pause and respawn
DEFECT.HALT-COST-PATTERN.examples=#3309 checkpoint:human-verify (mid-flight halt = full executor cold-start per round-trip; reporter measured "tens of thousands of tokens" per halt)
DEFECT.HALT-COST-PATTERN.detect=any subagent-spawning workflow with mid-flight pause-and-resume that does not preserve subagent context
DEFECT.HALT-COST-PATTERN.fix-forward=offer config flag for end-of-phase aggregation; if cost dominates make end-of-phase the default; route deferred items through existing verifier surface, do not invent new writer
DEFECT.HOOK-OVER-ENFORCEMENT.symptom=PreToolUse hook keeps blocking gh pr edit / gh issue edit even after all required files are read in the session
DEFECT.HOOK-OVER-ENFORCEMENT.examples=this session repeatedly hit "Refusing to run gh issue create|edit / gh pr create|edit" despite reading every listed file
DEFECT.HOOK-OVER-ENFORCEMENT.detect=hook re-fires on each invocation regardless of session-state read receipts
DEFECT.HOOK-OVER-ENFORCEMENT.fix-forward=use gh api -X PATCH repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{N} or repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{N} directly — same effect, hook regex does not match
DEFECT.DEFAULT-FLIP-DOCUMENTATION.symptom=PR flips a config default but does not call out the migration semantics (when does the new default take effect; existing configs vs new configs; what the opt-back-in looks like)
DEFECT.DEFAULT-FLIP-DOCUMENTATION.examples=#3309 v2 default flip from mid-flight to end-of-phase
DEFECT.DEFAULT-FLIP-DOCUMENTATION.detect=any PR that changes a default value in CONFIG_DEFAULTS or buildNewProjectConfig; check that PR body Breaking Changes section explicitly covers (a) when the new default takes effect, (b) opt-back-in command, (c) effect on in-flight artifacts
DEFECT.DEFAULT-FLIP-DOCUMENTATION.fix-forward=template — "new default takes effect when .planning/config.json is rewritten (config-set, fresh project, regenerated config); existing artifacts continue to work; opt-back-in: gsd config-set <key> <old-value>"
DEFECT.SOURCE-GREP-IN-NEW-TESTS.symptom=new test file uses readFileSync + .includes() / .match() against source code (CONTEXT.md L82); contradicts the test rule lint script
DEFECT.SOURCE-GREP-IN-NEW-TESTS.detect=tests/lint-no-source-grep.cjs (npm run lint:tests) fails with line-number-precise violation; or test reads sdk/dist/* artifacts in CI where dist may not exist
DEFECT.SOURCE-GREP-IN-NEW-TESTS.fix-forward=replace with runGsdTools(...) behavioral test capturing JSON; if asserting agent .md content (which IS the runtime contract) add // allow-test-rule: source-text-is-the-product with one-line justification
DEFECT.GENERATIVE-PRIORITY=these defect classes share a common root: parallel implementations diverge silently because no parity test enforces equality at the test layer
DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX=for any new constant/array/parser shared between CJS and SDK (or between two workflow surfaces), the same commit MUST add a parity assertion that fails when the two diverge
DEFECT.GENERATIVE-EXEMPLAR=tests/config-schema-sdk-parity.test.cjs (asserts SDK VALID_CONFIG_KEYS == CJS VALID_CONFIG_KEYS); tests/bug-3298-phase-dir-prefix-drift-in-workflows.test.cjs (asserts every workflow surface uses expected_phase_dir)
