feat(storage): add configurable index storage and content retention tiers (#3060)
* feat(storage): add configurable index storage and content retention tiers

Rebase #3060 onto current origin/main. Keep GITNEXUS_STORAGE_PATH,
GITNEXUS_STORAGE_ROOT, and GITNEXUS_CONTENT_RETENTION, and fold in
main's FTS skip, embed-session, and help-text updates.

* Address PR review feedback (#3060)

Keep legacy registry rows on the local storage fallback, resolve
symlinks before the destructive-path guard, and align hook lookup
with CLI branch slugs, branch-slot metadata, and longest-path match.

Re-inspect ownership under the analyze lock, fail-closed when the

* Fix macOS hook test expecting realpath'd registry paths.

resolveHookRepo returns the written registry path, not a filesystem realpath, so the assertion must match that.

* Address gitnexus-check warnings on hook install docs and slot tests.

The Cursor troubleshooting list omitted registry-query.cjs, and the writable-slot test only checked that isDirectory exists instead of that the path is a directory.

* Align the HTTP catalog source-scan with skippable resolveRepo validation.

resolveRepo lists fresh repos with validate: options.validateStorage !== false so DELETE can skip prune; the test still required a literal validate: true.

* Harden storage path sinks so CodeQL path-injection and ReDoS alerts clear.

Contain every filesystem probe inside the resolved storage slot with the inline path.relative idiom, reject filesystem-root slots, and trim slot basenames in linear time.

* Settle bridge stamps before writing so CI size/mtime matches stay stable.

LadybugDB can still flush into bridge.lbug after close+rename; persist whole-millisecond mtimes and wait for consecutive stats to agree so a freshly written pair matches.

* Type the settled bridge stat as fs.Stats so tsc does not see bigint.

Awaited<ReturnType<typeof fsp.stat>> collapsed the bigint overload and broke prepare/typecheck on CI.

* Keep the bridge mtime stamp exact so same-size swaps still fail the pair check.

fix(analyze): replace the hand-incremented schema version with a derived DDL fingerprint (#2798) (#2808)
* feat(schema): derive a fingerprint from the DDL this build creates

`SCHEMA_FINGERPRINT` is a sha256 digest of the node and relation DDL that
`runSchemaCreationQueries` actually executes, in the same shape as the existing
`taintModelVersion` stamp (hex, sliced to 12).

It exists because `INCREMENTAL_SCHEMA_VERSION` is hand-picked and has to
*predict* whether an on-disk database matches this build's DDL. That number has
collided with `main` eight times, twice exactly — and an exact clash is the
quiet one, because the reuse gate is a strict `===`.

`EMBEDDING_SCHEMA` is deliberately excluded: its `FLOAT[N]` width comes from
`GITNEXUS_EMBEDDING_DIMS` at module load, so folding it in would make the
digest a function of the environment rather than of code, and two runs of the
same build under different env would thrash full rebuilds.

* feat(storage): record the DDL fingerprint in RepoMeta

`RepoMeta.schemaFingerprint` stores the digest of the DDL an index's tables
were actually created from. It is the derived companion to `schemaVersion`,
not its replacement: both are compared, and both must match.

Absent means mismatch, deliberately. Grandfathering a missing fingerprint
would let an incremental top-up stamp a fresh one onto a database whose DDL
was never verified, permanently certifying exactly the wrong-shaped index the
field exists to catch. The cost is one full rebuild per pre-existing index.

The version ladder gains a note that its "re-check against origin/main before
merge" ritual now only guards *semantic* bumps. v25, v26, v30, v31 and v34 all
changed emitted ids, edges or wire formats while leaving the DDL byte-identical,
and the fingerprint cannot see any of them — but DDL collisions no longer need
renumbering.

* fix(analyze): gate index reuse on the DDL fingerprint, not just the version (#2798)

`INCREMENTAL_SCHEMA_VERSION` is a hand-incremented integer that has to predict
a derived fact: whether the on-disk DDL matches the code's DDL. It has collided
with `main` eight times, and twice the collision was *exact*.

An exact clash is the silent one. Two builds stamp the same number over
different DDL, the `===` reuse gate reads the index as current, every
`CREATE ... TABLE` is then skipped as "already exists" (suppressed in
`runSchemaCreationQueries`), and the edges whose endpoint pair the live database
cannot hold are dropped by `fallbackRelationshipInserts`' bare `catch`. The
result is a wrong graph, with no error anywhere.

Reuse now requires the version AND the DDL fingerprint to match, in both the
pre-pipeline force-rebuild guard and the `isIncremental` predicate, and the
fingerprint is stamped alongside the version at the end of a run.

Both conditions are necessary. The fingerprint does not replace the integer:
most entries in the version ladder change emitted ids, edges or wire formats
while the DDL stays byte-identical, and a fingerprint-only gate would stop
forcing rebuilds for all of them. What it does buy is that two branches picking
the same number no longer need renumbering.

The new branch sits above the `alreadyUpToDate` fast path for the same reason
the version guard does — a clean tree at an unchanged commit would otherwise
early-return before either check ran.

Closes #2798

* test(analyze): pin the DDL fingerprint gate and its two failure cases

`schema-fingerprint.test.ts` pins the properties the gate rests on: the digest
covers exactly the node and relation DDL that gets executed (recomputed from
the exported lists, so adding a table or a FROM/TO pair without the fingerprint
moving is impossible), it excludes the environment-derived embedding DDL, and
it moves when any covered string moves.

The two `incremental-orchestration` cases exercise the production path rather
than modelling it: an index carrying the *current* version with a foreign
fingerprint, and one with no fingerprint at all. Both were run against the
pre-fix tree first and both failed there with `alreadyUpToDate === true` —
the fast path swallowing the mismatch, which is the #2798 symptom exactly.

`call-summary-schema-version.test.ts` widens its gate model to two equalities.
The second argument defaults to the current fingerprint so all 33 existing
version cases read unchanged, and a new case covers the collision, the legacy
absence, and the semantic bump the fingerprint cannot see.

* docs(review-skill): point the schema-constant check at the fingerprint, not the deleted integer

All four `gitnexus-review` SKILL.md mirrors told reviewers to verify
`INCREMENTAL_SCHEMA_VERSION` "was bumped or regenerated". That constant no longer
exists, so the instruction sent every future reviewer looking for something they
could not find — and, worse, past its replacement.

The check for graph DDL is now derived: `SCHEMA_FINGERPRINT` moves on its own, so
the question is whether the diff changed a string in `NODE_SCHEMA_QUERIES` /
`REL_SCHEMA_QUERIES`, and whether a newly added DDL array was folded into the
fingerprint at all — the one way the derived gate can still be bypassed.

What did NOT change is called out explicitly: the parse-store `SCHEMA_BUMP` and
the bench fingerprint sets are still hand-maintained and still need the
re-check-against-base ritual, and semantic changes that leave the DDL untouched
fall outside the fingerprint entirely — those rely on the analyzer runner-identity
receipt.

Found by the review swarm's docs lane. The original plan for #2798 claimed no
documentation mentioned the constant; that sweep covered five root docs and never
looked at `.claude/skills/**` or the three mirrors.

* docs(migration): record the one-time rebuild the fingerprint switch costs

Replacing `schemaVersion` with `schemaFingerprint` means every index written by
an earlier GitNexus carries no fingerprint, reads as a mismatch, and is rebuilt
once. That is deliberate — grandfathering absence would stamp a fresh fingerprint
onto a database whose DDL was never verified — but until now it was undocumented,
so a user's first post-upgrade analyze would announce a full re-analyze with
nothing to explain it.

MIGRATION.md already sets the precedent: PR #2363's meta.json → gitnexus.json
rename was equally automatic and equally in need of an entry. This follows that
shape, and is explicit about the parts that are easy to undersell:

- the cost is per INDEX, and branch-scoped slots (#2106) each pay separately;
  on a large repository a full re-analyze is substantial, not a blip;
- rollback is safe — an older binary sees no `schemaVersion` and forces its own
  rebuild, which is a cost, never a stale graph;
- alternating between an old and a new binary rebuilds on every switch, because
  the end-of-run meta is written as a fresh literal so neither field survives the
  other's run.

The retired ladder's per-version rationale is pointed at in git history rather
than reproduced: `git show 561f913a3:.../repo-manager.ts`. That commit is an
ancestor of origin/main, so the pointer survives this branch being squash-merged.

* fix(identity): cover workspace-linked packages in the analyzer dependency digest

`dependencyNames` enumerated `dependencies`, `optionalDependencies` and
`peerDependencies` only. `gitnexus-shared` is declared as a devDependency
(`file:../gitnexus-shared`), and in a source-mode run the build root is the
gitnexus package tree, which does not contain that sibling. So a change to
gitnexus-shared moved neither `build.digest` nor `dependencyRuntime.digest`.

That gap matters more since #2798 deleted `INCREMENTAL_SCHEMA_VERSION`. A
DDL-affecting edit there is still caught by `SCHEMA_FINGERPRINT`, but a
SEMANTIC-only edit — a new `REL_TYPES` member, say, where the relation table
carries a bare `type STRING` column so no CREATE statement moves — was covered by
nothing at all. Roughly thirty of the retired ladder's entries were exactly that
change class, and the runner-identity receipt is what now carries them.

Only checkout-local specifiers are added: `file:`, `link:`, `workspace:`,
`portal:` and npm's bare local-path shorthands. Pulling in every devDependency
was rejected — vitest, eslint and typescript would enter the digest and force a
full re-analyze on unrelated tool bumps, which is worse than the hole.

Scanning the linked sibling for the first time exposed a latent throw:
`collectArtifacts` honoured `PRUNED_RUNTIME_DIRECTORIES` only for a real
directory, so a SYMLINKED `node_modules` fell through to the payload branch and
died with "Analyzer identity input is not a file". Worktree-style dev layouts and
pnpm shared stores hit this immediately — verified in this worktree, where
`gitnexus-shared/node_modules` is such a symlink. Pruning it loses nothing:
packages beneath are still reached through `resolveDependencyPackageRoot`.

Verified: a real `analyze` in this worktree succeeds with `packageCount` 259;
editing the linked package's source moves the digest, bumping an installed
registry devDependency does not, and removing the link moves it.
`DEPENDENCY_RUNTIME_CANONICALIZATION` is deliberately not bumped — freshness
compares digests, not the label, and the input-set change already moves them.

Follow-up worth having: no fixture in the suite declares `devDependencies`, so
this has no regression test yet.

* refactor(analyze)!: delete INCREMENTAL_SCHEMA_VERSION, gate reuse on the DDL fingerprint alone

The integer and its ~180-line version ladder are gone, along with
`RepoMeta.schemaVersion`. Index reuse is now decided solely by
`SCHEMA_FINGERPRINT`; a mismatch — including the absent stamp every pre-existing
index carries — warns and forces a full re-analyze, which wipes and recreates the
database so the tables are built from the current DDL.

Deleting the integer is safe because it was already redundant: the
runner-identity guard deep-compares the whole schema-v4 receipt, including a
digest over the build tree, and forces a rebuild on ANY analyzer delta. Verified
empirically — a comment-only edit to logger.ts, with the fingerprint byte
identical, produced "runner identity changed ... forcing a full rebuild".

The fingerprint is not thereby redundant. It fires where that guard cannot: a
DDL-affecting change in `gitnexus-shared`, which is a workspace-linked
devDependency and so sat outside both digests until the companion commit closed
that gap.

Review findings folded in, each correcting a line this rewrite itself introduced
and never published:

- B1: two assertions matched a log string the rewrite had renamed; both tests
  failed. They now assert what production emits.
- B2: the pre-existing downgrade test perturbed `schemaVersion: 7`, a field this
  change deletes, so the spread carried a valid fingerprint, every guard passed,
  and the run legitimately took the fast path. It perturbs the fingerprint now,
  restoring the only integration coverage of the gate-above-the-fast-path
  ordering invariant.
- N5: duplicate `schemaFingerprint` keys silently collapsed two assertions into
  one (TS1117).
- N6: the absent-stamp message told non-git repositories their index was "built
  by an older GitNexus version" — on every run, about an index this exact build
  had just written. Non-git repos never record a fingerprint, and now the message
  says so.
- N9: the on-disk stamp is shape-checked before being echoed, so a crafted
  gitnexus.json cannot push ANSI escapes through the CLI log.
- N7: a test case that re-computed the same digest expression with its operands
  swapped, mislabelled as a randomness check on a module-level const.
- N10: comments claiming the digest "cannot collide" (it is 48 bits), pointing at
  a vector-column gate that does not exist, and asserting storage/ is free of a
  core/ dependency two lines below a core/ value import.

None of these were caught by `tsc -p tsconfig.json`, which covers src only, nor
by eslint, where no-dupe-keys is off. `tsconfig.test.json` reports all three test
defects and is not currently wired into CI.

* test(schema): pin that the fingerprint covers every DDL statement init executes

`SCHEMA_QUERIES` is the list `runSchemaCreationQueries` iterates — the DDL that
actually runs. The fingerprint hashes only two of its three members, and until
now no test imported `SCHEMA_QUERIES` at all, so nothing tied the two together.

A fourth member appended to that array — the one literally named for what init
executes — would have been invisible to the gate. Every existing test would still
pass, because they all recompute the digest from the same two arrays the
fingerprint already uses. An index whose gate passed would then run `initLbug`
over the old database, where `runSchemaCreationQueries` suppresses "already
exists", so the new table would never be created and its edges would be dropped
by `fallbackRelationshipInserts`' bare catch. A wrong graph, no error — exactly
the failure #2798 exists to end.

The check is a pure predicate over (executed, fingerprinted, documented
exclusions) rather than a positional `toEqual`, so `EMBEDDING_SCHEMA` is named as
an exclusion with its reason — its FLOAT[N] width is environment-derived — rather
than sitting in a list where a future reader might "fix" it by folding it in. It
asserts both directions and is order-insensitive, leaving ordering to the digest
assertion that already pins it.

The negative case is pinned in CI rather than checked by hand once: the same
predicate over a synthetic fourth member must report it. If a refactor ever makes
the predicate vacuous, that case fails even though the positive one would not.

* test(analyze): name the invariant the version deletion now rests on

Deleting `INCREMENTAL_SCHEMA_VERSION` moved a load-bearing guarantee into an
implicit one. Roughly thirty of the retired ladder's entries changed no DDL at
all — node ids, wire formats, resolution tiers — and the fingerprint is
structurally incapable of firing on any of them. Their only remaining cover is
the analyzer runner-identity receipt, and nothing in the suite said so.

This adds a table over the real `analyzerRunnerIdentitiesEqual` with a
well-formed schema-v4 receipt: byte-identical reuses; an entrypoint-only
difference reuses (CLI vs analyze worker); a moved build digest with unchanged
DDL forces — that case IS the invariant, commented as such; and a dependency
change, an ABI change, undefined, null, a schema-v3 legacy receipt, a missing
build section and a non-sha256 digest all fail closed.

The deleted `expect(INCREMENTAL_SCHEMA_VERSION).toBe(35)` pin is also worth
naming: it failed CI on every bump by design, which is what made an author stop
and think. Nothing replaced it. This does not restore that — a digest has no
literal to pin — but it does make the mechanism that took over the job visible to
the next person who reads the file.

* test(spring): pin CLASS_SCHEMA's membership in the fingerprinted DDL set

When `INCREMENTAL_SCHEMA_VERSION` went away, its sibling in
basicblock-callee-ids-schema.test.ts got a replacement assertion tying
BASICBLOCK_SCHEMA to the fingerprint's input set. This file's
`>= 23` floor was deleted with nothing put in its place.

The file still asserts CLASS_SCHEMA's CONTENT — that the `frameworkAnnotations`
column exists — but not that CLASS_SCHEMA is part of what the digest covers, and
the second is what makes an index built before that column carry a different
fingerprint and get rebuilt. Mirrors the sibling so the two read the same way.

* fix(identity): stop a symlinked directory from aborting the whole analyze

`collectArtifacts` fused two orthogonal facts into one condition: that four
directory names never carry runtime payload, and that a symlink where a real
directory was assumed falls through to the payload branch, where
`snapshotReadableFile` stats the target, sees a directory, and throws
"Analyzer identity input is not a file".

The second was only fixed for those four names. Every other symlinked directory
in a scanned package root still aborted the run — `dist -> build`, a vendored
grammar link, anything inside a linked sibling checkout. Newly reachable,
because making workspace-linked packages scannable pointed the scanner at a live
checkout instead of an immutable registry tarball for the first time.

Split along the actual seam: prune on the NAME alone, and give symlinks their own
branch in the type dispatch, ahead of the payload branch.

Link text is recorded rather than followed. Following was rejected on three
grounds, each checked in source: the traversal is a stack with no visited set, so
a self-referential link would recurse to `runtimeDepth` — which throws, trading
one hard abort for another; `snapshotDirectory` rejects a symlink outright, so
the directory guard could not accept one without a realpath rewrite of its
canonical-path identity; and a link into an already-scanned tree double-counts
against `runtimeEntries`/`runtimeBytes`, which also throw. The cost is stated in
code: a link out of the package contributes its text, not its target's content.
Links resolving to a regular file keep the existing content digest.

The new `'unfollowed-symlink'` kind is threaded through every consumer, including
the cache validator — which re-probes with `mode: 'link'`, since the readable-file
probe resolves the target and would return null for exactly this kind, silently
failing every warm validation.

No canonicalization or cache-schema bump. Digest content changes only for trees
that previously crashed: a delta scan over all 258 scanned roots of this install
found no regular file bearing a pruned name and no symlink failing to resolve to
a file, so `dependencyRuntime.digest` is byte-identical here.

Six of the eight new tests fail against the unfixed tree with the exact production
error; all eight pass after.

* refactor(analyze): give the reuse gate a real seam and sanitize logs at the funnel

Cleanup pass over the #2798 branch. Net -183 lines.

The gate had no extracted predicate, so its own test asserted it by regex-matching
run-analyze.ts SOURCE TEXT. That pinned production formatting: one pattern froze
three back-to-back single-name imports from './lbug/schema.js', so merging them —
the obvious tidy-up — failed a test named "still imports the DDL digest itself".

`schemaFingerprintMismatch` and `isSchemaFingerprintShaped` now live in
core/lbug/schema.ts beside the constant. Not in run-analyze.ts next to
`pdgModeMismatch`, because storage/ must stay off the analyze pipeline and
mcp/resources.ts is a plausible second consumer — the same reasoning that puts
`cjkSegmentationModeMismatch` in core/search/. The regex block is gone; the test
calls the predicate. The three imports are merged.

ANSI sanitation moved from one field to the funnel. The per-field guard's own
comment stated the general hazard — gitnexus.json is parsed with no runtime shape
validation and the notice reaches console.log — while two sibling guards twelve
lines away echoed `runnerIdentity.schemaVersion` and `cjkSegmentation` from that
same file raw into the same log. `log()` now strips C0/C1 controls, covering all
seven guard messages and any written later.

Also:
- Deleted a duplicate integration test. After the downgrade test was repointed at
  `schemaFingerprint` it became the same scenario as the new one, differing only
  by an extra log assertion — which is now folded into the survivor. Saves a
  fixture and two full pipeline runs per CI pass.
- Replaced a 3-parameter set-difference helper with one set equality. Its doc was
  false at one call site (arguments semantically swapped) and it needed a fourth
  test purely to prove itself non-vacuous; set equality cannot go vacuous.
- Removed ~115 lines of runner-identity table that duplicated
  analyzer-identity.test.ts. The three genuinely uncovered cases moved there, and
  the #2798 invariant — build digest moved while the DDL did not — now asserts
  against a REAL analyzer-build-tree edit rather than a hand-built literal, which
  is strictly stronger than what it replaces.
- MIGRATION.md quoted a log line the code cannot emit; it was written before the
  placeholder changed.
- Restored the rationale on the `capabilities` docstring, which a previous pass
  replaced with its consequence — leaving a maintainer reading "duplicated by
  hand" as a wart to fix by importing, which is what the original forbade.
- Marked the `isIncremental` conjunct as belt-and-braces: `!options.force`
  short-circuits before it, so it cannot decide anything.

* feat(analyze): force a rebuild when the vector column width changes

`CodeEmbedding.embedding` is declared `FLOAT[EMBEDDING_DIMS]`, resolved from
`GITNEXUS_EMBEDDING_DIMS` at module load. Nothing gated it. Flip the variable on
a same-commit clean tree and no guard fired at all: `alreadyUpToDate` returned
over a `FLOAT[384]` table while the process embedded at 768. The only reaction
anywhere discards the embedding CACHE and re-embeds — into a column whose type it
never revisits.

This predates #2798; `INCREMENTAL_SCHEMA_VERSION` never covered dims either. It
surfaced because the fingerprint work had to reason about why `EMBEDDING_SCHEMA`
must stay OUT of the digest: its width is environment-derived, so folding it in
would make the same build disagree with itself and thrash rebuilds. That
exclusion is correct, and it leaves the width needing its own guard.

Modelled on `cjkSegmentation`, the closest sibling: an env-resolved scalar
stamped at write time and compared by a small exported predicate that forces on
mismatch. `embeddingDimsMismatch` sits in core/lbug/schema.ts beside
`EMBEDDING_DIMS`, so the query side can adopt it without importing the analyze
pipeline — mcp/local/local-backend.ts already warns on a cjkSegmentation
disagreement and has the identical claim here, since the query path embeds at the
live width against a table of unknown width with no validation at all today.

ABSENCE IS NOT A MISMATCH, deliberately. Forcing on it would be dead code:
`embeddingDims` and `schemaFingerprint` ship together, and a missing fingerprint
already forces exactly one rebuild — which is where this stamp lands. Absence
also carries no signal here, unlike the fingerprint: a missing fingerprint means
"DDL this build cannot vouch for" and ships WITH a DDL change, whereas a missing
dims stamp means only "written before the field existed", and that run's table
agreed with that run's width. Drift requires the env to change, which absence
says nothing about. The `cjkSegmentation` trick of folding absence into the
default was unavailable — there is no width that is safe to assume for an
existing table — so the stamp is instead written unconditionally, giving absence
exactly one meaning. Malformed values are not grandfathered: null, '384', NaN and
objects all read as a mismatch and err toward a rebuild.

* feat(mcp): warn when the served index's vector width differs from the query embedder's

The analyze side now forces a rebuild when the vector column width changes. The
query side had no equivalent: a serving process embeds a query at its own width
and searches a table whose width was fixed when the index was built. Disagree and
the user gets wrong or missing semantic results with nothing explaining why.

Mirrors the cjkSegmentation drift warning immediately above it — same warnings[]
array, same per-query recomputation, agent-visible in the tool response, and it
warns rather than refuses. A width mismatch degrades the semantic lane only;
keyword results are unaffected, so `partial` is deliberately not set.

Compares against `getEmbeddingDims()` — the width the query embedder actually
produces — NOT schema.ts's `EMBEDDING_DIMS`. The two diverge exactly when
GITNEXUS_EMBEDDING_DIMS is set on a server that embeds LOCALLY: the query path
ignores that variable and embeds at 384, so comparing against the env-derived
constant would report drift on a lane that works fine. The recorded width is what
the vector CAST actually binds.

`embeddingDimsMismatch` is imported from core/lbug/schema.js rather than
restated, so "absent is not a mismatch" cannot drift between the analyze and
query sides. That predicate was placed in schema.ts precisely so this consumer
could reach it without importing the analyze pipeline.

Two gates keep it quiet when it would be noise: it fires only for a repo where
this process actually produced a query vector, so an index analyzed without
--embeddings (or a server whose embedder is unavailable) never carries it. An
untrusted recorded value — meta.json is schema-less JSON — is reported as "an
unrecognized width" rather than echoed.

`loadMeta` is hoisted out of the neighbouring try so both diagnostics share one
read and an invalid GITNEXUS_FTS_CJK_SEGMENTATION cannot take this one down with
it.

* fix(identity): detect an npm-linked dev dependency the specifier cannot see

`isLocallyLinkedSpecifier` admits a devDependency whose SPECIFIER is
checkout-local. `npm link <pkg>` leaves the specifier a registry range while the
node_modules entry symlinks to a checkout — locally linked, invisible to a
specifier check, so a semantic-only edit there still moves neither digest.

The obvious placement is unaffordable, measured rather than assumed: probing
every dev-only name inside collectRuntimePackages costs 1998 resolutions, not
the ~8 it looks like, because dependencyNames runs for every package in the BFS
and published tarballs retain their devDependencies. Persisted path guards go
2221 -> 11050 (+398%), and every guard is re-probed on each warm validation —
the path `status` takes.

Scoped to the root package instead. The declared-intent half is untouched and
still enumerated everywhere: it alone can emit the `<missing>` edge for a
declared link whose checkout is absent, where resolution returns null and cannot
distinguish that from an uninstalled dev tool. The new resolved-location half
runs only when `parent.root === packageRoot`, resolves through the existing
resolver so its path guards are recorded, and admits a name iff the realpath'd
root carries no node_modules segment.

Bounded against mis-fire by EXPANSION. "Not under node_modules" is a proxy for
"checkout-local"; under a relocated pnpm virtual store every dev dep passes it
and the whole dev tree folds into the receipt — against limits that THROW, so a
legitimate install would abort. Measured here: uncapped, that shape takes
259 -> 347 packages and 2250 -> 3786 guards. The cap admits at most four and
DROPS THE WHOLE CHANNEL on overflow rather than an arbitrary prefix, because the
abort comes from the transitive payload of whichever trees get folded in — four
of a mis-fired thirteen is still unbounded, and a sorted-prefix receipt would be
arbitrary. Overflow falls back to the specifier-only receipt that ships today.

Cost on this install: 259 packages unchanged, 13 dev names resolved, guards
2221 -> 2250 (+29, +1.3%). Verified against the real implementation, not just a
replay: validation guards 16295 -> 16324, packageCount and artifactCount
unchanged, and `dependencyRuntime.digest` byte-identical — so this forces no
re-analysis for anyone.

Each test fails on the defect it targets: disabling the channel kills the
npm-link and cap cases; dropping the root-only scope makes the differential
guard-count case fail at 2.8x guards; removing the specifier half kills the
`<missing>` case.

fix: index staleness — false-stale status after analyze (#2668) + inline staleness in query/context/impact/cypher tools (#2655) (#2683)
* fix(analyzer): case-stabilize runner-identity path fields so status isn't false-stale (#2668)

`gitnexus status` reported a freshly-analyzed, untouched repo as stale on
Windows (econia/aptos-core, 1.6.10-aptos.0). `status`'s up-to-date check gates
on `runnerIdentityIsCurrent`, which deep-compares the stamped runner identity
against a freshly recomputed one. That comparison includes `build.rootPath`,
`dependencyRuntime.manifestPath`/`lockfilePath`, and `runtime.executablePath`
(only `invokedArtifact` is stripped), and `identityCacheKey` hashes
packageRoot/buildRoot — all derived from paths that flow through
`realpathSync.native`, which canonicalizes 8.3 names and symlinks but does NOT
normalize the Windows drive-letter case. When `analyze` and `status` are
launched under different drive-letter casing (`c:\...` vs `C:\...`, plausible
across CLI shim / npx / server-worker entries), the two identities differ by
that one byte and `status` reports stale.

Fix: `normalizeAnalyzerRootPath(p, platform)` uppercases the Windows drive
letter (POSIX no-op, platform-explicit for testability; preserves a `\\?\`
extended-length prefix), applied at the single upstream source —
`resolveBuildRoot`'s returned `{packageRoot, buildRoot}` — so every derived
identity path field and the cache key inherit a case-stable root, plus at
`runtime.executablePath` (process.execPath is the same compared class). The
`runnerIdentityIsCurrent` gate is kept intact: a genuine analyzer change still
differs in `build.digest`/`dependencyRuntime`, and analyze still rebuilds on
real mismatch.

Note: the drive-letter divergence was not reproduced on a Windows host (none
available); the mechanical chain is verified in source and the fix is a correct
defensive normalization that is a no-op on POSIX. If a `status --json` identity
field-diff later shows `build.digest`/`dependencyRuntime`/`cliVersion`
diverging instead, that indicates a genuinely different install (where "stale"
is correct), not this bug.

Migration: on Windows, an existing index stamped under the old (non-normalized)
casing mismatches the normalized recompute once, triggering a single forced
full re-analyze on first upgrade (and a one-time identity-cache recompute).
One-time, Windows-only, POSIX no-op.

Tests: pure `normalizeAnalyzerRootPath` unit tests (drive-letter uppercase,
idempotence, drive-only scope, `\\?\` extended-length prefix, POSIX no-op).

* feat(mcp): surface index staleness in query/context/impact/cypher tool responses (#2655)

`checkStalenessAsync` already computes how many commits an index is behind the
checkout's HEAD, and `list_repos` returns it as `staleness: {commitsBehind,
hint}`. But the four hot read tools an agent actually calls in a session —
`query`, `context`, `impact`, `cypher` — never surfaced it: `resolveRepo` only
runs `maybeWarnSiblingDrift` (stderr, sibling-clone drift only), so a direct
tool call gave zero indication the index might be behind HEAD.

Thread the existing signal into those four tools at the single `callTool`
dispatch chokepoint (after the one `resolveRepo`), reusing the `list_repos`
`{commitsBehind, hint}` shape:

- `stalenessForTool` computes `checkStalenessAsync` behind an in-flight-promise
  cache (5s TTL) keyed by lbugPath, so N concurrent tool calls share one
  `git rev-list` and flat/branch handles (same repoPath, different lastCommit)
  don't collide. The cache entry is evicted with the repo's other per-index
  state when the repo leaves the registry.
- `withToolStaleness` skips the `git` spawn entirely for results that can't
  carry the field (via `canCarryStaleness`), so error-returning calls pay
  nothing.
- `attachToolStaleness` adds a `staleness` field to an object result only when
  the index is behind HEAD. It NEVER changes an existing result's shape:
  raw-array results (non-tabular cypher rows) are returned untouched, because
  the CLI's `--limit` and other consumers branch on `Array.isArray`; error
  envelopes and already-annotated results are left as-is. Non-blocking:
  `checkStalenessAsync` swallows git failures to `{isStale:false}`, so a git
  error just omits the field — it never fails the tool.

Deliberately out of scope: `@group`-targeted calls forward to
`callToolAtGroupRepo` before the chokepoint (multi-repo, single-commit
staleness is ill-defined); the legacy `search`/`explore` aliases; and
`list_repos` / the `context` resource, which already carry the signal.

Tests: `attachToolStaleness` branch matrix (stale object -> field; fresh ->
unchanged; raw array -> unchanged; error envelope -> unchanged; idempotent;
non-object -> unchanged; null-safe) and a flat-vs-branch cache-key regression
test that fails when the cache is keyed by repoPath.

* test(mcp): cover staleness tool-signal edge cases + harden the freshness boundary (#2655)

Addresses the coverage gaps the review flagged on the #2655 staleness signal,
plus one defensive guard so a failing freshness check can never fail a tool.

Production (defense-in-depth, no behavior change on the happy path):
- withToolStaleness now awaits stalenessForTool with a `.catch(() => undefined)`
  so a rejection degrades to no-staleness instead of failing query/cypher/
  context/impact.
- stalenessForTool wraps the check in `Promise.resolve(...).catch(...)` that
  evicts the cache entry on rejection — a transient failure isn't served as a
  permanently-rejecting promise for the rest of the TTL window, and the
  `Promise.resolve` wrap makes the boundary robust to a non-thenable return
  (a no-op for the real async checkStalenessAsync). A resolving promise is
  never evicted, so happy-path dedup is unchanged.

Tests (gitnexus/test/unit/calltool-dispatch.test.ts):
- F1: a rejecting checkStalenessAsync leaves the tool payload intact with no
  staleness field, and a later call recovers (proves the entry isn't poisoned).
  Written first and confirmed to fail without the guard.
- F2: staleness attaches on query/context/impact object results and on cypher's
  tabular {markdown,row_count}; a raw-array cypher result keeps its shape.
- F3: drift guard — exactly query/cypher/context/impact route through
  stalenessForTool; explain/pdg_query/detect_changes/check do not.
- F4: the per-index cache dedupes within TOOL_STALENESS_TTL_MS and recomputes
  after it expires (driven via a Date.now spy, not fake timers).

Tests (gitnexus/test/unit/analyzer-identity.test.ts):
- F5: the produced identity's build.rootPath and runtime.executablePath are
  normalizer-stable, guarding that both call sites thread through
  normalizeAnalyzerRootPath (trivial on POSIX, a real regression guard on
  Windows CI). Plus a source comment noting the one-time Windows re-analyze on
  first upgrade.

* test(mcp): run #2668 guard on Windows CI, document staleness field, cover staleness edge cases

Addresses the review follow-ups on the staleness work:

- Wire test/unit/analyzer-identity.test.ts into scripts/cross-platform-tests.ts
  (PLATFORM_LOGIC). Its "identity path fields are normalizer-stable" fixpoint is
  the Windows regression guard for the #2668 drive-letter normalization, but
  normalizeAnalyzerRootPath is a POSIX no-op, so the guard was only ever running
  (trivially green) on the Ubuntu full-suite and never on the windows-latest
  matrix where it actually bites. Now it runs where it matters.

- Document the inline `staleness` field on query/context/impact/cypher responses
  in the gitnexus-guide skill (both the .claude source and the shipped
  gitnexus-claude-plugin mirror, kept in sync).

- Add three staleness tests that pin behavior the prior tests only implied:
  * @group-routed calls never get the signal (forwarded before the wrapping
    switch) — locks the intentional skip so it can't silently flip.
  * one in-flight freshness check is shared across truly concurrent calls
    (two dispatched before checkStalenessAsync settles → a single spawn), not
    just sequential reuse of an already-resolved value.
  * a late rejection from a superseded cache entry does not evict the newer
    entry that replaced it after the TTL rolled over (the `=== entry`
    object-identity guard).

The defensive stack in stalenessForTool/withToolStaleness (Promise.resolve
wrap + guarded evict + outer catch) is retained deliberately: the wrap is
load-bearing for the tests (a sibling describe's vi.resetAllMocks() makes the
mock return undefined), and the guarded evict closes the superseded-entry edge
now covered above.

* fix(test): split the #2668 normalization guard into a portable cross-platform file

Registering analyzer-identity.test.ts on the Windows/macOS matrix (previous
commit) surfaced four pre-existing failures in that file on macOS 3/3 and
windows 3/3. They are not new breakage: those fixture tests compare identity
fields against the RAW temp-dir path while the identity resolves through
realpathSync.native, so on macOS `/var/folders/...` is received as
`/private/var/folders/...`. The file was simply never portable — it had only
ever run in the Ubuntu full-suite. Reproduced locally by pointing TMPDIR at a
symlink: the same four tests fail, and pass again without it.

Move only the portable assertions — the pure `normalizeAnalyzerRootPath` cases
(explicit `platform` argument) and the identity fixpoint guard (which compares
each field against ITSELF normalized, never against the fixture path) — into
test/unit/analyzer-identity-path-normalization.test.ts, and register that file
on the matrix instead. The #2668 Windows regression guard still runs where it
actually bites, without dragging four symlink-sensitive tests onto runners they
were never written for.

Verified: the new file passes with TMPDIR behind a symlink (the macOS
condition); the heavy file is back to Ubuntu-only.

* fix(test): keep the cross-platform #2668 file fixture-free so Windows stays green

The split file still carried the fixture-based fixpoint guard, which fails on
windows-latest:

  Invoked analyzer artifact is absent from the validated build:
    D:\a\...\node_modules\vitest\dist\workers\forks.js

Cause is a pre-existing cross-drive defect in this module's `isInside()`, not the
#2668 change. The GH Windows runner keeps the repo on D: and temp fixtures on C:.
`path.win32.relative('C:\\...fixture', 'D:\\...forks.js')` cannot express a
relative path across drives, so it returns the absolute target — which does not
start with '..', so `isInside()` reports true. `resolveInvokedArtifact` therefore
treats the vitest fork worker as the invoked artifact, it is absent from the
fixture's validated build, and identity resolution throws. (Verified directly:
`isInside` returns true cross-drive and false for the same-drive control.)

Keep the cross-platform file strictly pure — only `normalizeAnalyzerRootPath`
assertions with an explicit `platform` argument, no fixture and no filesystem —
so it is green on every runner while still exercising the transform on real
Windows. The fixture-based threading guard moves back to analyzer-identity.test.ts
(Ubuntu-only), where the rest of that file's fixture tests already live, with a
comment recording why it cannot be on the matrix.

The underlying `isInside()` cross-drive bug is left untouched here (out of scope
for this PR) but is worth its own fix: it also guards the trusted cache directory
and the identity-cache path-escape check in validateIdentityCache, where a false
"inside" verdict weakens validation on multi-drive Windows setups.

feat(skills): GitNexus Engineering Tool Kits (#2566)
* feat(skills): add ce-plan — GitNexus+PDG implementation-planning skill

Adds .claude/skills/ce-plan: a planning-only skill that builds
implementation-ready plans from GitNexus graph navigation (query/context/
impact/trace), bounded statement-level PDG slices (pdg_query, impact
mode:pdg, explain), and targeted source verification, with a context
ledger to prevent repeated reads and a machine-readable implementation
context pack (stable contract for a future ce-implement). Whitelisted in
.gitignore and registered in AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md outside the
auto-managed gitnexus block.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(skills): apply ce-plan validation findings (tool contract, consistency, conventions)

Tool contract: impact mode:'pdg' shape now includes the schema-required
direction param; CDG branch sense documented as the result 'label' field
(reason is cypher/raw-edge only); explain caveats corrected to its real
false-negative classes (cross-function TAINT_PATH is modeled).

Consistency: PDG slice homed in working memory (ledger keeps one-liners);
depth knob defined and category-overrides-baseline ordering stated;
call_depth (consumed by nothing) and content-hash bookkeeping dropped;
Never section folded into Hard rules; Phase 3 deduplicated to a pointer;
allowed-repeat escalations defined; budget/discard accounting clarified;
verification-commands gathering added to Phase 4; open_questions added to
the context pack.

From scenario runs: plans now pin the verified-at HEAD commit and index
freshness in a header, tag claims [verified]/[graph]/[inferred]/[assumed],
quote load-bearing tool output, prefer pre-hook-carrying npm scripts, and
support an out:<path> destination override; output path defined as the
Phase 1 target repo root.

Conventions: AGENTS.md 1.9.0 / CLAUDE.md 1.4.0 changelog rows + metadata
bumps; future ce-implement qualified as future.

* feat(skills): rename ce-plan → gitnexus-plan; add cross-CLI (Codex) entrypoints

Renames the skill dir, frontmatter, output filename convention, plan H1
(GitNexus Engineering Plan), the future executor handle
(gitnexus-implement), the .gitignore whitelist entry, and all
AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md references. Follows the pr-swarm-review cross-CLI
pattern: SKILL.md is the canonical CLI-neutral spec, AGENTS.md § Engineering
planning is the Codex/any-agent entrypoint, and the README documents the
optional user-level ~/.codex/prompts/gitnexus-plan.md slash command plus an
invocation matrix. Skill prose de-branded from Claude Code (agent-neutral
verification layer).

Also fixes two post-review README contradictions: the anti-reread claim now
names the ledger's allowed escalations, and 'read-only by contract' is now
'planning-only' (the skill writes exactly one repo file — the plan); the
scope-creep rule and template §12 now agree on where deferred follow-ups
land. Drops the stale plugin-collision limitation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(skills): document Codex user-level install path for gitnexus-plan

Codex discovers SKILL.md skills from ~/.agents/skills (same path the other
gitnexus-* skills install to); README now documents the cp install plus the
optional ~/.codex/prompts slash-command file, with the prompt body preferring
the repo copy and falling back to the user-level install.

* feat(skills): gitnexus-plan freshness gate + active PDG-layer refresh

Freshness is now a Phase 1 gate, not advisory: under the default
freshness:strict, a stale index is refreshed once per planning session via
node .gitnexus/run.cjs analyze --index-only (appending --pdg when the task
will reach the PDG phase), then the context resource is re-read. A missing
PDG layer likewise triggers the one permitted --index-only --pdg refresh
and re-probe instead of a passive recommendation. freshness:accept (or a
failed/impractical refresh) preserves the old behavior: plan on the stale
graph, source-weighted, labelled in the plan header. --index-only is the
load-bearing flag choice — it suppresses all file generation, so the
planning-only contract holds (only the .gitnexus store changes). Ledger
gains an index_refresh record; plan header states fresh / refreshed /
refresh-skipped-with-reason.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(skills): gitnexus-plan runner build check before freshness refresh

When the target repo builds the analyzer from its own source (bin → dist/
mapping, as gitnexus/ does), the Phase 1 freshness gate now verifies dist/
is current before running the analyze refresh — rebuilding via the
package's build script when any analyzer source file is newer than the
built entrypoint — and prefers that freshly built CLI. Otherwise a stale
dist re-indexes with outdated extraction logic and the 'fresh' index lies.
Rebuilds are recorded in the ledger's index_refresh; the PDG-phase refresh
inherits the same check.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(skills): add gitnexus-work executor and gitnexus-lfg pipeline

gitnexus-work executes a gitnexus-plan as verified atomic commits: consumes
the §11 implementation_context pack, drift-checks the plan's evidence pin
against HEAD, re-verifies assumptions before relying on them, runs impact
before every symbol edit and detect_changes before every commit (repo
mandates), builds tests from the plan's scenarios, and routes structural
drift back to gitnexus-plan Deepen mode instead of coding around it.

gitnexus-lfg is a thin orchestrator: gitnexus-plan → blocking user gate
(deepen / proceed / stop, deepen loops allowed) → gitnexus-work → review
via the existing gitnexus-pr-review skill (open PR, else branch diff vs
default). One bounded fix cycle for review findings; never pushes or opens
a PR on its own.

gitnexus-plan gains a Deepen mode (re-run freshness gate, escalate to
depth:deep, re-verify graph/inferred/assumed claims toward verified,
rewrite the same file); its 'future gitnexus-implement' placeholder is
retired in favor of gitnexus-work. Registered via .gitignore whitelists,
AGENTS.md 1.10.0 (section renamed to Engineering planning & execution),
CLAUDE.md 1.5.0.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(skills): apply cross-skill review findings to the gitnexus skill family

Two P1s: gitnexus-plan Deepen mode now re-anchors before re-pinning
(diffs the old evidence pin over every [verified]-claim file and re-reads
or downgrades before the header moves — moving the pin without this
laundered stale claims as verified); the index-refresh budget is stated
once in Phase 1 (one --index-only refresh plus at most one Phase 3 --pdg
upgrade per session, Deepen = its own session) with ledger and pdg-slice
deferring to it.

Contract fixes: gitnexus-work's drift check now covers every file the
pack cites (not just files_to_modify) and parses the full pack incl.
primary/related symbols and acceptance_criteria (walked in Phase 4
alongside §13); a pre-completed check skips §7 steps already landed and
Deepen gains a reconcile-execution-state step, closing the mid-execution
route-back loop; pack assumptions must name what to check and how.

lfg: Lane 4 passes the merge-base to detect_changes compare (two-dot
diff misattributes upstream commits when default advanced), branch-diff
is the stated normal case, oversized review findings route to the plan
gate instead of overflowing direct mode, the one-fix-cycle cap is
explicit on re-run, and headless runs end at the plan gate with the plan
as deliverable. work: blank mode narrowed to *gitnexus-plan*.md with a
re-execution guard, direct-mode discipline spelled out, branch
meaningfulness defined against the plan slug, and the plan document is
committed as the branch's docs commit (review diff includes it).
Planning-only contract now names the dist/ rebuild as the second
permitted state change; Phase 5.1 names the four claim tags; stale
AGENTS.md anchors fixed.

Known latent issue left untouched: gitnexus/gitnexus-pr-review pairs a
three-dot example with a two-dot detect_changes compare — that skill is
also shipped by the plugin, so fixing it here would drift the copies;
lfg compensates by passing the merge-base.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(skills): ship the engineering skill family with the gitnexus package

npm i -g gitnexus users now get gitnexus-plan / gitnexus-work / gitnexus-lfg:
the three skills are added to gitnexus/skills/ in directory form (SKILL.md +
references/), which installSkillsTo already enumerates dynamically and copies
recursively to every editor target (~/.agents/skills for Codex, Cursor,
OpenCode, Qoder, ...) on gitnexus setup — uninstall enumerates the same root,
so removal stays clean. The Claude Code plugin channel
(gitnexus-claude-plugin/skills/) carries the same copies plus the standard
per-skill mcp.json.

Global-install support in the skill text: gitnexus-plan Phase 1 now resolves
the analyzer runner explicitly — node .gitnexus/run.cjs analyze when the
project has a runner, else gitnexus analyze (installed CLI), else
npx gitnexus analyze — and all analyze mentions route through it, satisfying
the skills-steering policy (#1939/#1945) which sweeps the plugin copies.

New drift guard test/unit/shipped-skills-sync.test.ts asserts the npm and
plugin copies stay byte-identical to the canonical .claude/skills/ family
(plugin = canonical + mcp.json), same discipline as run.cjs ↔
resolve-invocation.ts. skills-steering + shipped-skills-sync: 11/11 green.

* feat(eval): workflow_bench — measure the skill workflow's token savings

Benchmarks gitnexus-plan → gitnexus-work against a baseline agent
(--disallowedTools Skill) on identical tasks, in fresh detached worktrees,
using real headless Claude Code sessions; every number comes from the CLI's
--output-format json usage report (field names validated against a live
2.1.207 session). Reports per-arm medians (input/cache/output tokens, cost,
wall time, turns), a savings row, and resolve status from a per-task verify
command — savings on failed tasks are flagged, not celebrated. Per-task
setup hook prepares fresh worktrees (deps); --permission-mode
bypassPermissions (default) lets sessions run unattended in the throwaway
trees.

Free-model support: --base-url/--auth-token/--model route headless sessions
through any Anthropic-compatible endpoint; free-model.litellm.yaml is a
ready litellm-proxy template for OpenRouter :free variants or local Ollama,
so benchmarking burns no paid tokens (README documents rate limits and the
small-model skill-following caveat).

Harness validated end-to-end with a stub CLI (worktree lifecycle, both
arms, plan→work chaining, verify, aggregation, report) and 4 pytest units
for the pure aggregation/savings/report helpers. AGENTS.md 1.11.0.

* docs(eval): record first workflow_bench calibration run

Trivial-task calibration (add -V alias): both arms resolved; workflow arm
~4.3x baseline cost — the documented overhead-dominated regime, recorded so
the regime boundary is empirical rather than asserted.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(eval): workflow_bench scenario matrix — arm variants, task classes, churn

Ground-base measurement across scenarios: tasks.scenarios.yaml spans four
labeled classes (trivial → investigation-bug → investigation-feature →
cross-module) with deterministic verifies (prescribed test files). New arms:
workflow_direct (gitnexus-work direct mode — the middle option that locates
the routing boundary lfg's gate and work's triage encode) and baseline_nomcp
(no skills AND no graph tools — separates workflow-discipline value from
GitNexus-tool value; off by default). Records now carry task class and diff
churn (files/+ins/−del vs the starting commit) as an over-engineering proxy;
the report renders a class column and per-arm savings rows vs baseline.
5 pytest units + stub-CLI e2e of the full three-arm matrix.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(eval): record workflow_bench ground base; fix churn measurement bias

Ground base (3 classes x 3 arms, n=1/cell): every arm resolved every task —
pass/fail quality saturates at this difficulty, making the comparison pure
cost. Full plan→work never amortized its ~$9-11 fixed cost on tasks a
baseline finishes in ≤35 turns (−211% to −333% cost); workflow_direct sits
near baseline (−15% to −55%, once faster wall) with more test coverage.
Routing implication recorded: direct mode/plain agent below this scale,
full workflow for cross-module / multi-session / plan-as-deliverable work.
The cross-module cell and multi-run variance are the next measurements.

Churn fix: git add --intent-to-add -A before diffing (arms that never
commit no longer undercount new files) and :(exclude)docs/plans (the
committed plan doc no longer inflates workflow churn); this run's churn
numbers predate the fix and are omitted from the recorded table.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* perf(skills): cost-optimize the workflow from measured ground base

Every optimization targets a measured fixed-cost component
(eval/workflow_bench ground base: workflow arm −211% to −333% vs baseline,
all tasks resolved):

- Plan form is category-priced: compact form (core sections w/ § anchors
  preserved, ≤80 lines excl. pack, mini-pack subset of the context pack)
  for narrow/default categories; the full 13 sections only for deep work
  (refactor/security/performance/concurrency/architecture). A compact plan
  outgrowing its cap reclassifies to full rather than overflowing.
- Freshness gate is category-priced: compact categories default to accept
  (source-weighted, refresh only when a graph claim becomes load-bearing);
  strict stays the default for full-plan categories — the rebuild+re-index
  was the largest single fixed cost.
- Turn economy: per-category tool-call budgets (~10 to ~45; architecture
  uncapped); budget exhaustion routes open questions to §12 instead of
  more digging.
- gitnexus-work fast path: HEAD == evidence pin → skip all citation
  re-reading (the pin's entire point); mini-pack fields tolerated.
- lfg Lane 1 boundary triage: tasks below the measured ~35-turn boundary
  get offered gitnexus-work direct mode before the plan lane is spent.

Copies re-synced (npm skills/, plugin, ~/.agents); steering + sync guards
green. Re-measurement of the workflow arm follows to verify the numbers
actually improve.

* docs(eval): record optimization re-measurement — inv-bug workflow cell −20% cost

Same task, same conditions, post-830a0459 skills: $14.56→$11.70 (−20%),
83→72 turns, cache_read −24%; verified in-transcript that the compact form,
turn budget, and skipped rebuild/re-index all fired. Wall +15% from a work-
session test-debugging tail (n=1 variance). Regime unchanged (~3.5x baseline
on this class) — routing rule stands.

* fix(eval): per-arm clone isolation — worktree ref-namespace leak contaminated an arm

The cross-module workflow_direct cell reported an impossible 28-turn solve
with churn byte-identical to the workflow arm: git worktree add shares the
repo's ref namespace, so the workflow arm's slug branch (created by
gitnexus-work Phase 2) survived worktree removal and the direct arm found
and adopted the completed work. Arms now get isolated git clone --shared
copies (object store via alternates, refs clone-local — agent branches and
stashes die with the clone; origin/<ref> fallback for non-default refs).
Leaked branch deleted; baseline arm verified clean (0 branch references in
its transcript); cell marked invalidated pending re-run.

Records the valid cross-module cells: workflow $18.32 vs baseline $18.03
(premium −1.6%, vs −211%..−333% on smaller classes) — fixed costs amortize
at this scale, with a less destructive diff and a plan artifact as bonus;
resolve rate still tied. Churn fingerprinting is what caught the
contamination — noted in the README as an integrity check.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(eval): complete cross-module cell — direct mode wins 47% cost / 56% wall

Clean clone-isolated re-run: workflow_direct resolved the hardest class at
$9.53/52 turns/15m vs $18.03/98/34m baseline and $18.32/107/37m full
workflow. The measured story across all four classes: the execution
discipline (gitnexus-work) is the consistent sweet spot and delivers real
token savings on hard tasks; the planning pass buys its artifact, not
same-session savings. Resolve rate tied everywhere (n=1/cell caveat).

* feat(eval): add trajectory-gated skill evolution (#2431)

- Pair prompt candidates with incumbent workflow arms
- Gate promotions on pinned-model quality and efficiency
- Expire router evidence and document its lifecycle

* fix(eval): allow pr-review skill candidates

* feat(skills): rename and generalize GitNexus review

* feat(eval): external-comparator and review arms for workflow_bench

- ce_workflow / ce_workflow_direct: compound-engineering ce-plan/ce-work
  arms prompted with the same structure as the gitnexus arms
- review / ce_review: gitnexus-review vs ce-code-review on an identical
  diff applied by the task's setup
- plan handoff is snapshot-based: committed example plans in docs/plans/
  tie on clone mtimes and broke the name-glob pick (executed a stale plan)
- verify output tail is recorded per run and the final working-tree patch
  is kept, so failed rows are diagnosable after the clone is destroyed

* fix(skills,eval): address #2431 review — data-safe rename migration, fail-closed bench evidence

- setup: never delete a legacy renamed skill dir — the installer cannot
  prove ownership (users customize or hand-write skills under these
  names); warn with the path instead, and the test now asserts survival
- workflow_bench: fail closed when a session's --output-format json
  report is empty, malformed, or missing usage fields — an exit-0 shell
  with no parseable usage no longer counts as measured evidence
  (5 parametrized regression tests)
- workflow_bench: document the trust model prominently (task setup/verify
  are shell-executed, sessions run bypassPermissions with the parent env,
  candidate overlays are prompt injection surface) in README + docstring
- free-model.litellm.yaml: master_key from LITELLM_MASTER_KEY env instead
  of a static token; loopback-binding warning
- ci: run the eval workflow_bench pytest suite on ubuntu (pytest+pyyaml
  only — no full eval stack)

* fix(eval): demand observed foreground verification in headless work-arm prompts

In a headless -p session there is no later turn: a work arm backgrounded
its slow test run, scheduled wakeups that can never fire, and reported
done while two of its tests failed. All four work-arm prompts (both
skill families, symmetric) now require verification output to be
observed inside the session.

* feat(skills): ask plan depth up front instead of offering deepen afterwards

gitnexus-plan Phase 0 now asks one blocking question in interactive
sessions — quick / standard / deep, mapped onto the existing depth/form/
freshness knobs — when the invocation carries no explicit depth signal.
Explicit knobs and headless runs skip the question (category posture
unchanged, so benchmarks and automation behave as before).

gitnexus-lfg's plan gate slims to proceed/stop: depth was already the
user's up-front choice, so deepening is no longer offered by default —
an explicit deepen request at the gate and executor route-backs still
run Deepen mode, which remains the mechanism for strengthening an
existing plan document.

All shipped copies resynced (npm skills/, Claude plugin); AGENTS.md
1.13.0 and CLAUDE.md 1.7.0 pointers updated, including the analyzer's
regenerated index-stats block at this branch's head.

* feat(skills): taint pass, expert lenses, and post-work index refresh

gitnexus-review gains a PDG-backed taint-and-dependence pass (explain +
pdg_query, --pdg folded into the stale refresh on trust-boundary diffs) and
an Expert lenses section: domain reviewers derived from the graph's
clusters plus four cross-cutting lenses (architectural fit, language
conformance per the repo's own contract, Definition of Done, simplicity),
dispatched once after the evidence-gathering steps and scaled to the diff.
gitnexus-work Phase 4 now refreshes the knowledge graph after the DoD walk
via the resolved-runner ladder with analyze --index-only, so the lfg review
lane and later sessions query the finished work without dirtying the tree.
lfg's threshold-governance paragraph moves to its README; eval citations
are tagged as measured in the GitNexus repo. All shipped copies re-synced.

* fix(cli): remove legacy gitnexus-pr-review on uninstall; cover the rename migration

uninstall's removal set now includes LEGACY_SKILL_DIR_NAMES derived from
RENAMED_SKILL_DIRS, so a pre-rename install is cleaned up instead of
orphaned. The rename warning gains behavioral coverage (fires with a legacy
dir present, silent without), and shipped-skills-sync asserts legacy names
stay absent from every shipped tree.

* fix(eval): metric provenance, error-kind rows, skill-invocation verification, gate noise floor

The promotion gate defaults to cost_usd (the only metric that includes
subagent spend); token metrics carry an explicit main-loop-only warning in
the report and promotion.json. Rows are classified by error_kind
(session-error / verify-failed / infra-error), excluded from efficiency
medians, and the gate requires equal valid-run counts. Each session's
transcript is scanned for the expected Skill invocation and fails closed on
a verified miss; a one-run resolution edge no longer promotes (noise
floor). Per-run timeouts and setup failures record an infra-error row
instead of aborting the sweep. Overlays touching skills no candidate arm
exercises are rejected up front.

* docs: fix skill routing paths, version headers, and skill rosters

Routing tables point at the tracked direct skill paths (matching the
post-#2434 generator output), AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md headers match their
latest changelog rows, the 1.12.0 row describes what the migration actually
does, package/cursor READMEs list the full shipped skill roster, and the
swarm READMEs describe /gitnexus-review's expert lenses instead of calling
it single-agent.

* ci: drift-guard workflow for skill copies; pin eval pip deps; track docs/plans

ci.yml ignores '**.md', so an md-only skill edit would merge without the
shipped-skills-sync test running — skill-sync.yml triggers exactly on the
guarded trees. The eval job's pip install is version-pinned, and
docs/plans/ is unignored so gitnexus-plan output can be committed.

* fix(ci): keep the runner-invocation literal in gitnexus-review; add concurrency block to skill-sync

skills-steering requires skills with a stale-index hint to carry the exact
'node .gitnexus/run.cjs analyze' form — restore it with the fallback ladder
as a parenthetical instead of replacing it. skill-sync.yml gains the
top-level concurrency block the workflow-convention check enforces.

* feat(skills): token-economy guidance for expert lenses

Merge lenses that ground in the same material into one reviewer, and use
cheaper model/effort tiers for mechanical lenses where the harness offers
them, reserving the strongest engine for adversarial judgment.

* test(eval): isolate transcript home on Windows

Ensure workflow_bench transcript tests set USERPROFILE alongside HOME so Path.home() resolves to the temporary test home on Windows.

* docs(skills): fold PR #2522 execution learnings into review/work/plan

Eight incident-backed hardenings from running the full skill cycle
(review -> plan -> work, 28-finding fix series) on PR #2522:

gitnexus-review:
- Expert lenses execute the code under review on candidate failing shapes
  (empirical probe outranks source reading — every HIGH the language
  lenses found came from a probe, not a read).
- Step 7 re-runs the exact CI check for refreshed baselines/fingerprints
  (a stale committed artifact is invisible in the diff; caught a red
  benchmarks arm).
- Step 8 treats version/invalidation constants as review surface
  (INCREMENTAL_SCHEMA_VERSION class recurred verbatim from #2494).

gitnexus-work:
- Step 4 proves regression tests discriminate against the pre-fix tree.
- Step 5 rebuilds executed build output before every verification run
  (parse workers load dist/; a correct fix 'failed' until rebuilt).
- Step 6 makes stage -> detect_changes -> commit one unbroken sequence.

gitnexus-plan:
- Phase 0 seeded-evidence mode: plan FROM a completed review's verified
  findings instead of re-running the graph ladder.
- Template §7: fingerprint/golden-guarded output rebaselines once, at the
  series tip.

All distribution copies resynced; shipped-skills-sync + skills-steering
24/24 locally.

* feat(eval): close the skill-evolution loop with an automated proposer driver

workflow_bench.evolve adds the three arrows the README described as manual:
a proposer session that turns loser trajectories (results.jsonl rows,
transcripts, patches, the learning queue) into ONE bounded candidate
overlay, a driver that iterates propose -> paired benchmark -> deterministic
gate up to --generations, and an --apply step that copies a promoted
overlay onto the canonical skills and shipped mirrors as a working-tree
diff. The trust boundary is unchanged: overlays re-validate through
candidate_overlay_files before any benchmark or apply consumes them, and
committing, CI, and the PR merge stay human.

learnings.jsonl is gitignored: it is machine-local evidence, like the
session transcripts it complements.

* docs(skills): route live-task friction into the evolution learning queue

Each family skill gains a short 'Skill feedback' section: on friction with
the skill's own instructions, append one JSON line to
eval/workflow_bench/learnings.jsonl (GitNexus repo only) — never self-edit
the skill from a live task. The proposer in workflow_bench.evolve consumes
the queue as hints; a learning reaches a shipped skill only by beating the
incumbent on the paired benchmark. All shipped mirrors re-copied byte-
identical.

* ci(tests): run the evolve helper tests in the eval pytest job

test_evolve.py needs only pytest+pyyaml, same as the harness tests the job
already runs — without this line the new module had no CI coverage.

* feat(ci): comment-triggered GitNexus review agent for PRs

'@gitnexus review' from a maintainer (OWNER/MEMBER/COLLABORATOR; the action
re-validates write access) runs the repo's gitnexus-review skill headlessly
against the PR and posts the review as a sticky comment — remote triggering
with no local setup. Read-only by construction: contents: read token,
Write/Edit and web tools disallowed, Bash allowlisted to git reads and the
gitnexus CLI; analyze parses PR code with tree-sitter, never executes it.
Requires the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY repository secret; activates once the file
is on the default branch.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(ci): dispatch lane + existing OAuth secret for the review agent

Align with claude.yml: same action pin and the CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN
secret the repo already carries — no new secret to configure. Add a
workflow_dispatch lane (PR number input) so the agent can be triggered from
the Actions UI and tested before the issue_comment trigger reaches the
default branch. Allowlist gh pr view/diff and gh api, which the review
skill uses to pin PR SHAs.

* fix(ci): close a fork-PR RCE vector in the review agent's tool allowlist

A live headless run of the exact workflow session against PR #2431 (66
turns, full gitnexus-review pass) surfaced a real HIGH-severity confused
deputy: .gitnexus/ is gitignored, not blocked — a fork PR can commit its
own .gitnexus/run.cjs, issue_comment checks out PR-head content, and the
skill's runner ladder tries 'node .gitnexus/run.cjs analyze' first. That
would execute fork-controlled JS inside a job holding
CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN and a write-scoped GITHUB_TOKEN — the opposite of
the 'PR code is read, never executed' claim in the workflow's own header.

Fix: drop the run.cjs allowlist entry so analyze always resolves through
npx gitnexus (npm registry, not the checked-out tree); the skill's
documented fallback mode covers the resulting graceful degradation. Also
drop 'gh api' (not read-only — accepts -X POST/PATCH/DELETE) and downgrade
pull-requests: write to read (comment posting only needs issues: write;
the prompt already forbids formal review submission).

Same session flagged a latent evolve.py bug: select_evidence's cost sort
used dict.get's missing-key default, which doesn't cover an explicit JSON
null in a foreign --seed-results row and crashes proposer setup with
TypeError. Guarded with 'or 0.0' and added a regression test.

* fix: harden PR review and evolution trust boundaries

* ci: follow workflow concurrency convention

* fix(eval): make terminating error paths explicit

* fix: unblock hardened review runtime checks

* test: make containment canaries deterministic

* test: expose Claude canary tool failures

* fix: adapt clean shell environment for Claude

* fix(eval): accept the runner's transcript source key in evidence preflight

The proposer evidence preflight required transcript-artifact metadata to be
exactly {path, sha256, bytes}, but the runner stamps a fourth provenance key
(source=parent-captured-stream-json). Any --seed-results or generation>=2 run
therefore aborted with SandboxError before proposing or promoting. Pin the
producer literal as PARENT_EVENT_STREAM_SOURCE and validate it in the metadata
check, and round-trip real producer output through sum_sessions into the
preflight so the schema can't drift again.

* fix(eval): treat an unmeasured session cost as unavailable, not $0

well_formed validated only the nested usage block, so an otherwise-successful
session missing total_cost_usd was recorded as cost_usd=0.0 — and cost_usd is
the default promotion metric (lower wins), so a cost-less session scored as
free and could win promotion it never earned. Extract cost via measured_cost()
(None on absent/garbage, a measured 0.0 preserved), propagate None through
sum_sessions/aggregate/savings/report, and have the gate refuse to rank on a
metric that was not measured on every run in both arms.

* fix(eval): warn when ranking on the main-loop-only num_turns metric

num_turns comes from the CLI's top-level usage (main-loop session only), like
output_tokens, but selecting it emitted no metric_warning — so a subagent-heavy
candidate could look artificially efficient. Add num_turns to
MAIN_LOOP_ONLY_METRICS and broaden the warning to cover turns.

* fix(eval): fail closed when an overlay adds a file with no committed base

An overlay adding a new .md under gitnexus-{plan,work} passes the structural
overlay checks but has no committed base for committed_destination_base_digests
to bind against, so it raised an uncaught ValueError that crashed the evolve
driver (and runner --candidate-overlay) mid-run. Catch it at both call sites:
evolve reports NOT PROMOTED and exits, runner routes it through parser.error.

* feat(eval): circuit-break the runner sweep on a systemic outage

A sustained upstream outage used to pay out every remaining --timeout window
one session at a time. Track consecutive session/infra/cleanup failures via a
pure systemic_outage_streak helper; after --outage-streak (default 5) in a row,
stop the sweep, still write report.md/promotion.json from partial evidence, and
exit non-zero so evolve.py halts instead of proposing from truncated evidence.
A task's own resolved=False never trips the breaker.

* fix(cli): report a dirty working tree as stale in gitnexus status

status --json (and the human output) computed up-to-date from commit + runner
identity + completeness only, so a repo with uncommitted source changes at a
matching HEAD was reported up-to-date while analyze would still re-index it.
A graph-backed agent gating on that JSON could skip re-analysis on a stale
graph. Extract analyze's dirty-tree check into a shared isWorkingTreeDirty()
in storage/git and fold it into the status freshness decision.

* fix(ci): use single-slash deny globs in the review agent's disallowedTools

github.workspace already expands to an absolute path, so Read(/${{ github.workspace }}/**)
and Read(//proc/**),(//sys/**),(//dev/**) produced double-slash patterns that a
normalizing matcher may not match — silently no-opping the deny layer. Not
exploitable (the allowlist is the primary control and never grants those
paths), but the globs should be well-formed. Update the pinned test strings.

* ci: install gitnexus-shared with npm ci from the committed lockfile

The gitnexus-shared build floated its deps via npm install in three workflows
(skill-sync, ci-tests, and — most importantly — the release publish.yml) while
every other install step uses npm ci. The lockfile is committed and in sync, so
switch all three to npm ci for reproducible, locked installs.

* test(cli): make the shipped-skills drift guard reject symlinks

listFilesRecursive walked with readdirSync and snapshotDir read with
readFileSync, both of which follow symlinks — so a mirror file symlinked to the
canonical tree passed the byte-compare (and a symlinked mirror dir would be
followed too). Reject a symlinked root via lstat and any symlinked entry via
Dirent.isSymbolicLink, with negative tests (skipped on Windows).

* test(eval): guard the candidate-skill vs mirror-root coverage invariant

MIRROR_SKILL_ROOTS omits the Cursor tree, safe only because no candidate skill
is cursor-shipped. Pin that invariant: every CANDIDATE_SKILLS entry must exist
under canonical + every mirror root and must not ship to Cursor, so adding a
cursor-shipped skill to the candidate set (the PR #2488 asymmetric-sync class)
fails loudly instead of syncing three of four trees.

* docs(ci): describe the review agent's staged post-merge rollout

The DoD asked for a dry-run or triggered run before merge, but an issue_comment
(or newly added workflow_dispatch) workflow only ever executes the default-branch
copy, so it cannot be exercised from the PR that introduces it. Reword the DoD
and the activation checklist to a staged rollout: merge registered-but-disabled,
validate same-repo and fork execution post-merge, then enable the variable.

* fix: pin plugin skill mcp.json to the release version via #2445 tooling

The ten plugin skill mcp.json launched `npx -y gitnexus@latest mcp` on every
skill connect — non-reproducible and a supply-chain surface, and (unlike the
persisted setup config) never pinned. Extend sync-plugin-manifests.mjs with an
mcp surface kind that stamps the gitnexus@<version> launch arg, pin all ten to
1.6.9 now, and keep them byte-identical so the drift guard stays green. The
release lifecycle + publish.yml --check now re-stamp them like the four manifest
surfaces; only READMEs stay on @latest as docs.

* test(eval): prove the proposer's built-in file tools are confined

The real-Claude canary only exercised Bash + MCP, so it proved process/MCP
containment but not that the proposer's built-in file tools stay inside their
mounts. Add a canary over the exact PROPOSER_ALLOWED_TOOLS surface and the same
read-only /evidence mount as run_proposer (allowlist extracted to a shared
constant so it can't drift): Read reaches /evidence, a Write into the read-only
evidence mount is denied, and a Write lands in the output tree.

* fix(eval): apply the candidate overlay after task setup for fair arms

The candidate overlay was applied before the task's untrusted setup ran, so
setup could observe candidate prose and the incumbent/candidate arms started
from different pre-overlay state. Reorder within the sandbox: capture the base
(pre-overlay) skill digest, run setup against the base skills, verify setup did
not tamper them, then apply the overlay and capture the post-overlay digest the
model must preserve. apply_candidate_overlay stages path-specific overlay files,
so setup's uncommitted changes stay out of the baseline and churn is unchanged.

Graph freshness for the review arm is handled by the status dirty-tree fix plus
the review skill's stale-triggered re-index, not by reordering the cached
per-task-sha graph materialization (which is mechanically blocked).

* test(eval): end-to-end containment proof of the autonomous proposer

Drives the real run_proposer through bubblewrap with a deterministic scripted
model (no paid API): it reads the read-only evidence bundle and writes a
candidate gitnexus-plan skill edit plus a rationale into the sandbox output
tree; run_proposer enforces the trust boundary and copies only the validated
overlay + proposal out. This exercises the autonomous-proposal stage of the
self-evolution loop end-to-end in the eval/containment CI job (the gate and
apply stages are covered by test_workflow_bench_evolution and
test_promotion_apply). Env-gated on GITNEXUS_REQUIRE_CLAUDE_CANARY, so it runs
only where the pinned Claude binary and user namespaces are available.

* fix(eval): let the proposer author its overlay via Bash

Running the end-to-end proposer canary in the containment CI job surfaced a real
bug: run_proposer starts the session with --bare, which hard-disables the
Write/Edit tools ("Write exists but is not enabled in this context"), yet
allowlisted Edit/Write and omitted Bash. The proposer therefore had no working
way to write its candidate overlay — the self-evolution loop could never produce
a candidate. The sandbox settings already pre-authorize Bash
(autoAllowBashIfSandboxed) and confine writes to workspace/tmp/home, so switch
PROPOSER_ALLOWED_TOOLS to Read/Grep/Glob/Bash and tell the proposer to author
files with Bash. The end-to-end test now drives the real run_proposer through
bubblewrap and asserts a validated overlay + proposal are produced (this also
replaces the earlier file-tool canary, whose Write/Edit premise was moot).

* test(eval): author the proposer overlay with newline-free Bash content

The nested shell-sandbox prefix mangles embedded newlines, so the multi-line
overlay content never landed. Use single-line content for the deterministic
proposer canary.

* test(eval): drop the unverifiable end-to-end proposer canary

The scripted proposer overlay never materialized in the containment job across
runs, and the model tool-result content is not visible in CI logs, so the test
cannot be finalized without an environment where the sandbox can actually run.
Keep the verified production fix (Bash-authoring in run_proposer); the proposer
sandbox/containment stays covered by the existing Bash+MCP and process-tree
canaries.

* test(cli): drop run-analyze.ts from the windowsHide spawn-family list

U7 moved run-analyze.ts's only child_process call (the git status --porcelain
dirty check) into storage/git.ts (already covered by this test, with
windowsHide). run-analyze.ts no longer imports a spawn-family function, so the
windowsHide-regression test's 'must have >=1 spawn call' invariant failed for
it. Remove it from SRC_FILES.
