* fix(validate): fail --strict on requirements over the length limit

A requirement description over 500 characters was an INFO finding, so
`openspec validate --all --strict` still exited 0 and CI could not hold
the limit. It is now a WARNING: normal validation and archive still pass,
while strict mode fails, the same split the SHALL/MUST keyword warning
already uses. The specs instruction and its docs page say so.

Closes #1976

* fix(validate): check ADDED requirement length and document splitting

With the length finding now failing --strict, a change could still add an
overlong requirement and pass `validate <change> --strict`; CI only went red
after archive merged it into the main spec. ADDED requirements now get the
same warning, using the shared body reader so the limit matches the main
spec exactly. MODIFIED is left alone, since its text is the existing
requirement the instruction says to keep whole.

The specs instruction (and its docs-lab page) now says how to split an
existing long requirement in a dedicated change: keep the MODIFIED header and
every scenario, cut the description to one behavior, and add each removed
behavior as its own ADDED requirement. Verified end to end: the split change
validates strict, archives, and the main spec then passes --strict.

Closes the rest of #1976.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5.5 cf2859a520 fix(status): include the declaring repo in store-backed edit roots (#2014)
* fix(status): include the declaring repo in store-backed edit roots

For a store-selected root, actionContext.allowedEditRoots listed only the
store and claimed implementation edits were scoped to it, so the apply
skill reported a conflict and refused to implement tasks. The project whose
store: pointer names the store is now listed first; with no declaring
project, the constraint asks the agent to confirm the target repo instead.
Repo-local output is byte-identical.

Closes #2013

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(status): keep actionContext key order and scope the store wording

Adversarial review of the #2013 fix found:

- The editScope spread moved `constraints` ahead of
  `requiresAffectedAreaSelection`, changing repo-local JSON key order.
  toEqual could not see it; the byte-stable test now pins the serialized
  form, and the keys are written out in contract order.
- "Implementation edits belong to <repo>" claimed task routing OpenSpec
  does not do (a store change can span repos). It now names the current
  declaring project and asks before editing any other repository.
- The no-declaring-project text was false when a pointer exists but is
  ignored, and did not say the user's answer is where edits go.

New tests cover a subdirectory cwd, an ignored pointer on a real planning
root, and status --all.

* test(status): pin the declaring repo's canonical path through an alias

test/AGENTS.md asks for an alias-path regression when touching path
identity logic (raised by CodeRabbit). The new case reaches the declaring
repo through a symlink (a junction on Windows) and asserts the canonical
path, both through the CLI and through a direct findDeclaringProjectRoot
call whose start path keeps the alias spelling on every platform.

The helper's own canonicalizeExistingPath call was redundant: the root
walk already returns canonical paths, and removing it changes no output.
The alias test fails only when that walk stops resolving aliases.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5.5 772819417a fix(archive): stop sending the archive skill to an uninstalled sync skill (#1977)
* fix(archive): stop sending the archive skill to an uninstalled sync skill

The archive skill always told the agent to run the `openspec-sync-specs`
skill, even when that skill was not installed, so an agent following it
stalled at the sync step. The archive command already chose between the
sync workflow and an inline merge based on what was installed; the skill
now does the same.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 e923d05c8f feat(github): add issue forms and a PR template (#1847)
* feat(github): add issue forms and a PR template

CONTRIBUTING asks every change to start with an issue or a discussion, but
the repository had no `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/` and no PR template, so a
contributor who clones the repo and opens a PR meets a blank box and, later,
a review comment asking them to go file the issue they did not know they
needed.

- `ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml` asks for expected, actual, a minimal repro,
  `openspec --version`, and the agent and model, and points users who already
  have OpenSpec installed at `openspec feedback`.
- `ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml` asks for the problem, who it affects,
  and what was tried, and routes core-design topics to Discussions.
- `ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml` keeps blank issues enabled, so the pre-filled
  URL that `openspec feedback` prints when `gh` is unavailable still works,
  and links Discussions and Discord.
- `PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` puts `Closes #` on the first line with the
  "no issue yet?" path directly under it, catching the PR-first contributor
  at the moment they need it — no bot and no CI gate.

Labels referenced by the forms (`bug`, `enhancement`, `needs-triage`) all
exist in this repository.

1d35e90880 fix(windows): preserve a file's existing line endings on rewrite (#1958)
* fix(windows): preserve a file's existing line endings on rewrite

The parsers normalize CRLF to LF on read, but nothing restored it on
write. On a Windows checkout (core.autocrlf=true) that turned every
rewrite into a whole-file change: applying a delta that added one
requirement produced a diff of 21 insertions and 14 deletions, burying
the real change. Archiving the same spec now writes 7 insertions and 0
deletions.

- specs-apply: write an updated spec back with the convention the file
  already used; a spec that does not exist yet stays LF.
- file-system: same fix for updateFileWithMarkers, so installing shell
  completions into a CRLF .bashrc/.zshrc no longer leaves mixed endings,
  which bash reports as "$'\r': command not found".
- pack-version-check: spawn npm through cross-spawn, since execFile
  cannot resolve npm.cmd on Windows.

Adds src/utils/line-endings.ts for the detect/restore pair, plus tests
pinning the CRLF round trip through the real write paths. Also adds
regression tests for path containment under Windows case variance:
path.win32.relative already folds case, and those tests pin both halves
of the contract so a future "case-insensitive" change cannot quietly
loosen the traversal guard.

* fix(windows): keep removeMarkerBlock on the file's own newline

Addresses the two review points and one more instance of the same bug.

`removeMarkerBlock` collapses a run of blank lines, and rebuilt the
separator as a bare '\n' regardless of the file it came from. Removing a
managed block from a CRLF CLAUDE.md or rc file therefore left a lone LF
behind - the mixed ending this PR exists to prevent. It now uses the
newline it already detects for the trailing ending.

Test fixes:

- `marker-updates.test.ts`: close `describe('line endings')` so
  `removeMarkerBlock` is no longer nested inside `updateFileWithMarkers`.
- `path-containment.test.ts`: exercise `FileSystemUtils.assertPathWithin`
  and `resolveProjectArtifactPath` instead of a private copy of the
  containment logic, which passed whatever the production guard did. The
  guard had no coverage at all; a prefix-comparison regression now fails
  the sibling case.

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

* fix(windows): read the file's convention consistently, and only ENOENT as absent

Three follow-ups from CodeRabbit's pass on the superseding PR.

`writeUpdatedSpec` turned every read error into "no previous file", so an
existing but unreadable spec was treated as absent and rewritten as LF.
Only ENOENT means absent now; everything else propagates.

`removeMarkerBlock` chose CRLF whenever the content held one anywhere, so
a single stray CRLF in an otherwise-LF file pulled the whole rewrite to
CRLF. It now uses detectLineEnding, the same dominant-ending reading
matchLineEnding uses, so both write paths agree.

Added the alias-path case the containment suite was missing: a directory
link inside the root that resolves outside it. That exercises the
canonicalization half of the guard, which a lexical check cannot do - the
link's own path looks contained. Skipped where creating a directory link
needs a privilege the runner lacks.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 3312af4799 fix(templates): open generated artifacts with a top-level heading (#1777)
* fix(templates): open generated artifacts with a top-level heading

Generated proposal.md, design.md, spec.md and tasks.md started on a
section header, so every OpenSpec artifact tripped markdownlint MD041
("first line in a file should be a top-level heading") in editors that
run it. The files were also, literally, documents without a title.

Each packaged template now opens with `# Proposal`, `# Design`,
`# Spec Delta` or `# Tasks` followed by a blank line, and
`openspec schema init` scaffolds custom templates the same way. The
schema's own examples and the customization docs match.

Titles are inert to every reader downstream: the parsers anchor on `##`
and `###`, and archive builds a new main spec from the delta's sections,
so the main spec keeps its own generated `# <capability> Specification`
and only that one.

Closes #1138

* test(templates): compare template headings on normalized line endings

The Windows runner checks out CRLF, so splitting the template on "\n"
left the blank second line as "\r" and the new guards failed there while
passing everywhere else. Normalize before splitting; verified against a
CRLF copy of the templates locally.

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

* test(templates): pin each template to its own title

Review feedback: the guards accepted any top-level heading, so a wrong
title would have passed, and the archive check counted `# ` lines only,
so a demoted `## Spec Delta` would have slipped through. Assert the exact
heading per artifact, the blank line under it in both guards, and that no
heading of any level named "Spec Delta" survives archive.

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

* fix(workflows): teach the artifact titles everywhere the shape is shown

The templates were only half the story. The onboarding walkthrough drafts
each artifact in the conversation and then saves what it drafted, so its
previews would have written untitled proposal.md, spec.md, design.md and
tasks.md whatever the template said. The sync workflow's delta format
reference had the same gap, sitting directly beneath a main-spec
reference that does carry a title. Both now show the template's title,
and `docs/opsx.md` no longer documents a `template` value the CLI never
returned.

Guards added:

- The template guard now enumerates every artifact of every packaged
  schema from schema.yaml rather than a hardcoded list of four, and the
  exact-title table must name every artifact the schema declares.
- A drift guard reads the titles out of the packaged templates and
  requires the onboard and sync surfaces to show those same titles, so
  guidance and template cannot part ways again.
- Parser tests pin the claim the fix rests on: a title is inert, and a
  spec or proposal parses identically with and without one.

Regenerated the skill mirrors and parity hashes for the two workflows
touched; no other hash moved.

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

* docs: move the artifact-title update to the canonical docs-lab tree

The live site builds from docs-lab/, so the exact-format page there is the
one readers see. It still showed all four templates opening on a section
header and described the delta as starting with `## Purpose`.

- reference/schemas/spec-driven/index.md: each template block now matches
  the shipped template byte for byte, and the quoted spec/tasks
  instructions match schema.yaml again.
- customize/schemas.md: one line telling fork authors to keep the `#`
  title on the first line.

Reverts the edits to docs/customization.md and docs/opsx.md: that tree is
no longer published and docs-lab/README.md keeps it as source material
only, so editing it would leave two versions of the same fact.

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

* fix(show): keep the change id as title for a bare `# Proposal` heading

The packaged proposal template now opens with `# Proposal`, which
`extractTitle` read as the change's title, so `show --json` and
`change list --json/--long` titled every templated change "Proposal"
instead of its id. Treat that bare heading as untitled.

Also re-quote the proposal and specs instructions in the canonical
docs-lab schema page after #1700 changed schema.yaml.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 5f5914e7f7 fix(skills): match natural "openspec <verb>" phrasing to its workflow (#1852)
* feat(skills): match natural "openspec <verb>" phrasing to its workflow

Users and agents say "openspec propose" / "openspec apply", but no workflow
skill description contained that phrasing, so an agent hearing it had nothing
to match and routinely hand-built the artifacts with the CLI instead of
running the workflow.

Each workflow skill's description now names the phrasings that should route
to it. `openspec update` is deliberately left unclaimed: it is a real CLI
command that refreshes generated files, unrelated to the update-change
workflow, so that skill claims "openspec update change" instead.

Descriptions are emitted as unquoted YAML plain scalars, so the new tests also
pin that the generated frontmatter still parses and the description round-trips.

Closes #1221

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

* fix(skills): derive the CLI-collision guard instead of hardcoding it

Review found the guard codified the one exception rather than the rule, so it
could never catch the next collision. It now reads every command name the CLI
registers and fails on any claimed phrase that shadows one, unless the phrase
is listed in DELIBERATE_CLI_PHRASE_CLAIMS with a reason.

Two routing fixes fall out of stating the rule:

- bulk-archive also claims "openspec archive all", so an exact-phrase match on
  "openspec archive" no longer pulls a multi-change request to the
  single-change skill.
- update-change now disclaims the openspec update CLI command in prose, not
  only by avoiding the string.

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

* fix(skills): drop the trailing clause and close the plural-archive hole

Review found the "- follow this skill rather than doing the work by hand"
trailer was decoration that contradicted two of the skills it was appended to:
sync-specs opens "This is an agent-driven operation - you will read delta specs
and directly edit main specs", and explore says "This is a stance, not a
workflow. There are no fixed steps." A description is read at selection time,
so the clause could not reach the hand-building it targeted anyway; the bodies
already carry that guidance. Removing it from all 12 also drops ~800 chars of
identical boilerplate that made update-change's CLI redirect read as filler.

Routing fixes:

- bulk-archive claims the plural phrasings that do not contain "all", so
  "openspec archive these three changes" no longer loses to the single-change
  skill on the bare literal.
- update-change redirects to the CLI command positively instead of negating
  ("run that command instead"), which routers honor far better than "not for".
- apply also claims "openspec implement", the natural English verb for it,
  which shadows no CLI command.

Corrects the recorded reason for claiming "openspec archive": the CLI command
does merge delta specs (docs/cli.md:631, src/core/archive.ts:1402). The real
reason is that the workflow confirms and verifies the merge before anything
moves, where the bare command does it in one shot.

* docs(quickstart): name the verb phrasing that now routes to a workflow

Also rewrites the changeset to house style: links the issue, names the
commands-only scope limit, and tells a reader they need `openspec update`
to pick it up.

* fix(skills): walk the real command tree instead of scanning the entrypoint

Mutation testing found the collision guard was a strict subset of reality,
not the superset its comment claimed. It scanned src/cli/index.ts for
`.command('…')`, but seven groups — spec, config, schema, store, doctor,
context, workset — are registered from their own modules, so 23 real command
names were invisible. A description claiming "openspec doctor" or
"openspec spec" passed 18/18 green.

It now walks the commander tree from the exported `program` (importing it does
not parse argv; runCli does that), and a sanity test pins the seven delegated
groups so the blind spot cannot come back.

Three more holes the same pass found, all confirmed by re-running the
mutations that previously slipped through:

- phrase extraction was case-sensitive and double-quote-only, so
  "Openspec update" and `openspec update` in backticks both evaded every
  guard. Matching is now case-insensitive and accepts either delimiter.
  Unquoted prose stays excluded on purpose: the update-change redirect names
  the CLI command in prose, and prose is not a routing trigger.
- prefix shadowing was unguarded, which is the exact shape of the
  archive/bulk-archive tension. A shorter phrase contained in another skill's
  longer phrase must now be declared in DELIBERATE_PHRASE_SHADOWING.
- both allowlists accepted an empty reason and never flagged stale entries.

* test(skills): let the CLI-collision guard ignore hidden workflow-verb hints

PR #1776 registers the workflow verbs (explore, propose, apply, ...) as
hidden CLI commands that only point the user at the workflow. Walking the
commander tree then saw "openspec explore" as a real command and failed
the collision guard for every skill trigger.

Skip a subcommand only when it is hidden AND named after a workflow.
Visible commands and hidden non-workflow commands are still guarded,
pinned by a synthetic commander tree.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 9827762d2d fix(skills): stop workflows from adopting a project that never ran init (#1787)
* fix(skills): stop workflows from adopting a project that never ran init

Generated skills and commands are installed once per machine and offered in
every repository the agent opens, including ones with no OpenSpec at all.
Nothing stopped the workflow there: root resolution falls back to an implicit
root at the current directory, so `openspec new change` quietly creates
`openspec/` in whatever repo the agent happened to be standing in (#1645).

Two changes, both in the generated instructions:

- Every workflow now carries a shared project check. Before the first step
  that writes, the agent reads `root.source` from `openspec status --json`;
  `implicit` (or a `No OpenSpec root found` error) means the project is not
  set up, and the agent stops and asks the user whether to run `openspec
  init`, target a store, or drop OpenSpec for that request. It may not
  initialize the project on its own or let a command create the root as a
  side effect.
- Every deployed skill description now names OpenSpec. Hosts pick skills by
  description, and "Enter explore mode - a thinking partner..." reads as a
  generic offer in a repository that has never heard of OpenSpec.

Closes #1645

* docs(troubleshooting): explain an OpenSpec workflow starting in an unset-up project

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

* fix(skills): check the root with a command that never fabricates one

`openspec status --json` demands --change once a project has changes, so the
guard's own check could fail in exactly the projects it should wave through.
`openspec list --json` answers in one shape everywhere: a root object when the
project is set up, `root: null` both when nothing is set up and when only
stores are registered.

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

* test(skills): pin the guard against every write, not the first fence

CodeRabbit's point: checking only the first ```bash fence would miss a write
outside a fence. Assert instead that nothing preceding the guard runs a
command or writes, and that the guard sits directly under the store-selection
guidance - both fail when the guard is moved down a workflow.

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

* feat(new-change): say when the command had to create the root itself

The generated workflows now check for a root before writing, but the guard is
instructions - an agent that ignores it, or a human running the CLI directly,
still turned an unset-up directory into an OpenSpec project without a word.
Creating the root stays zero-config; it is no longer silent.

Human output only: --json is unchanged, and `root.source` already carried the
same fact for programmatic callers.

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

* fix(skills): tell agents the root check's non-zero exit is the answer

`openspec list --json` exits 1 when there is no root. An agent that reads that
as a broken CLI is one step from hand-creating `openspec/` instead, which is
the failure the guard exists to prevent.

Also drops a vacuous assertion: the notice test now checks that the note names
the directory it created and that the change really landed there.

* style(skills): read the guard back and untangle its two 'in that case' clauses

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

* fix(skills): carry the store flag into the root check; pin the notice path exactly

CodeRabbit, both valid:
- With a store selected the store IS the root, so the check has to run as
  `openspec list --json --store <id>`. The store-selection paragraph above
  already says to append the flag to every command it lists, but leaving it
  implicit here invited a check against the wrong directory.
- The notice assertion matched any `openspec/` suffix. It now pins the exact
  rendered path, and a new case runs the command from a subdirectory to show
  the note names the directory actually adopted (and that the repo above it
  is left alone).

* docs: move the no-root contract to the canonical docs-lab pages

alfred-openspec on #1787: docs-lab/README.md makes docs-lab/ canonical and the
old docs/ tree legacy, and the canonical pages were stale in the two places the
review named.

- docs-lab/reference/cli.md, 'openspec new': documents the implicit-root notice
  after the 'Next:' line, with the exact output the CLI prints, that it goes to
  stdout and never appears with --json, and that JSON carries the same fact as
  root.source: implicit. Verified against a real run in an empty directory with
  an isolated HOME.
- docs-lab/reference/skills.md: states the shared response and stop behavior
  once, above the index table, since it now holds for every skill: confirm the
  resolved root before the first write, stop when there is none, offer init, a
  store, or dropping OpenSpec, wait for the answer, never create openspec/ on
  its own.

Drops the legacy docs/troubleshooting.md addition.

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

* fix(skills): make the no-root answer depend on how the workflow was reached

alfred-openspec's product call on #1787. One answer could not serve both
arrivals: #1645 asks the workflow to get out of the way ('it can go through the
normal general propose not the openspec'), while a user who typed the skill's
name is owed an answer about OpenSpec.

The guard now branches after the same `openspec list --json` check:

- Auto-selected: the model picked this workflow without the user naming
  OpenSpec, naming the skill, or running its command. Drop OpenSpec and answer
  the request normally, with no setup question and no mention of OpenSpec.
- Explicit OpenSpec request: stop before writing and ask whether to run
  `openspec init`, target a store, or continue without OpenSpec, then wait.

Neither branch may create the root as a side effect, stated once for both.

One text serves both surfaces rather than a command-only variant, because
apply-change and onboard render a single body into the skill and the command
alike; a command-only constant would mean threading a surface flag through
bodies that deliberately have none (#1515). The bullets scope themselves
instead, and a slash command is an explicit invocation, so only the ask branch
can apply there. A test pins that branch reaching every generated opsx command.

Four regressions: the auto-selected branch (asserting it does not mention
`openspec init` or `--store`), the explicit branch, the explicit branch's
presence in every command file, and the shared no-side-effect rule.

docs-lab/reference/skills.md said every no-root invocation asks. It now carries
the same two branches as scan anchors.

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

* fix(skills): keep the root guard off store-only projects and fix its docs

A store-only project whose `store:` line names a store this machine has
not registered reports `"root": null` from `openspec list --json`, so the
guard read a real OpenSpec project as uninitialized. The guard now checks
for the `Declared in` status message first and shows the store error
instead. A stale global defaultStore reports the same codes in unrelated
repositories, which is why the message prefix, not the code, decides.

Propose's context step from #1657 offered `openspec init` on
`no_openspec_root` regardless of how the workflow was reached. It now
defers to the project check, so an auto-selected propose skill stays
silent.

The changeset names both no-root branches, and the `new change --json`
docs separate the initialized example from the verified `implicit` one.

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

* fix(skills): keep the root guard off projects with a malformed store line

A config-only project whose `store:` line is malformed reports
`"root": null` with an `Invalid store declaration in` message, not
`Declared in`, so the project check read it as never initialized and
would drop OpenSpec or offer `openspec init` there. The guard now names
both prefixes, and a root-selection test pins that every declaration
failure starts with one of them while a stale global defaultStore
starts with neither.

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

* test(skills): check guard ordering in the skill body, not its frontmatter

A skill's YAML frontmatter is metadata a host reads to choose the skill,
not instructions the agent runs, so a description that quotes a command
name must not trip the ordering check. Scope the scan to the text after
the closing frontmatter delimiter; a command injected into the body ahead
of the guard still fails.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 11a9691524 fix(tasks): count unrecognised checkbox markers as not done (#1773)
* fix(tasks): count unrecognised checkbox markers as not done

A checkbox marker the task parser did not recognise was dropped from
progress entirely: it counted toward neither the numerator nor the
denominator. A tasks.md whose remaining work was written `- [~] ...`
therefore reported `✓ Complete` in `openspec list`/`status`, and
`openspec archive` raised no incomplete-task warning for it. Marking
open items with such a marker *shrank* the denominator instead of
leaving them counted as not-done.

Widen the marker to any single non-`]` character and keep `x`/`X` as
the only done state, so an unrecognised marker reads as not-done - the
fail-safe direction the pattern's own docblock argues for. OpenSpec
adopts no new marker semantics; it just stops losing the line.

Closes #1761

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

* fix(tasks): close the remaining silent-loss holes in checkbox parsing

Hardening pass on the #1761 fix.

Parser: an empty `[]` and a padded `[ x]` were dropped exactly the way
`[~]` was - checkbox-like lines counting toward neither the numerator
nor the denominator, so archive stopped warning about them. The marker
is now "at most one non-whitespace token", which covers all three.
Multi-character brackets stay unmatched on purpose: widening to
`[^\]]*` would match `- [Some doc](./doc.md)`, whose `]` is followed by
`(` rather than a space, and turn every Markdown link list into phantom
unfinished work. The docblock states that boundary and a test pins it.

Guidance: archive, bulk-archive and verify told agents to count
`- [ ]` vs `- [x]` by hand, which reproduced the same bug one layer up -
an agent following it saw no incomplete tasks in a `[~]` file even with
the CLI fixed. All six bodies (skill + command per workflow) now state
the rule the parser implements; skills/ mirror and parity hashes
regenerated.

Coverage now spans every consumer of the shared counter: `openspec
list`, archive's gate, the apply task list, validate's task-numbering
check and the parser itself, including the reported 42-done/17-deferred
ratio. Reverting only src/utils/task-progress.ts fails 7 of them.

Verified empirically: the widened pattern newly matches 0 lines across
all 1090 .md/.ts files in the repo, templates and docs included.

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

* fix(tasks): state the padded-tick rule in workflow guidance too

CodeRabbit review, verified and valid: the new guidance named only
exact `[x]`/`[X]` as complete, while the parser also counts `[ x]`,
`[x ]` and `[ x ]`. An agent hand-counting by that wording would have
reported a padded tick as unfinished work and disagreed with `openspec
list` - the same guidance/CLI split this PR set out to close.

All six bodies now phrase it as the parser implements it: complete
means the box holds only `x`/`X`, spacing inside the brackets ignored;
every other marker, including an empty box, is incomplete. skills/
mirror and parity hashes regenerated.

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

* fix(tasks): keep one-character link bullets out of the task count

alfred-openspec on #1773: the widened marker class let a one-character
Markdown link label parse as a checkbox, so `- [A](https://example.com)` and
`- [1](./one)` read as unfinished tasks and made progress and archive report
phantom work. The multi-character guard did not cover them: a one-character
label is one token.

The closing bracket may now not be followed by `(` or `[`, the only two
characters that continue Markdown link syntax. Nothing that used to count is
lost: a checkbox is followed by its description or by end of line, and
`- [x]done` still parses. Regressions cover both link forms, the reference
form, and a link inside a real task description.

Also updates the canonical contract, which said tasks not written `- [ ]` are
not tracked while this change deliberately tracks `[~]`, `[-]`, `[]` and a
padded `x`. Fixed in schemas/spec-driven/schema.yaml and in the docs-lab page
that quotes it, so the quote stays faithful.

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

* docs: say that a done checkbox is case-insensitive

CodeRabbit on #1773: the parser lowercases the marker before comparing it with
`x`, so `- [X]` is done, but the contract I added said only `- [x]` counts.
Corrected in both copies, which are the same text.

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

* fix(tasks): keep empty boxes followed by link syntax in the task count

The one-character link guard also dropped `- [ ](...)` and `- [ ][...]`,
which the strict pre-#1761 pattern counted as unfinished tasks. A line the
parser drops is one archive stops warning about, so a whitespace-only box
now bypasses the guard. The canonical tasks instruction also names `[-]`
and the padded `x` rule, in schema.yaml and docs-lab in lockstep.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 62106f40e3 fix(explore): name the propose workflow at every handoff (#1788)
* fix(explore): name the propose workflow at every handoff

Explore mode refuses to implement, but nowhere named the workflow that
turns the discussion into a change. The refusal, the "flow into a
proposal" ending, the closing summary, and the do-not-implement
guardrail all described the next step as prose. With no named exit,
agents answered the discovery questions and then started writing code
(#869).

All four handoff points now point at `/opsx:propose`, written in the
canonical `/opsx:<id>` form so each tool renders the invocation it
actually registers. Skill and command bodies are patched together, the
skills.sh mirror is regenerated, and parity hashes are refreshed.

Closes #869

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

* fix(explore): name the continuation after a seamless capture

The capture path let explore scaffold a change and write artifacts, then
said nothing about what came next. An agent holding a fresh proposal
inside explore mode has an obvious wrong next move, and it is the one
#869 reported. The capture now ends by naming `/opsx:propose` for the
remaining planning artifacts and `/opsx:apply` for implementation, and
says plainly that capturing artifacts is not permission to implement
them.

Widen the rendering guard to walk the real registries instead of a
hand-picked few: every registered command adapter and every entry in
AI_TOOLS must rewrite every canonical reference in both bodies, with no
`/opsx:` form surviving on any skills surface. A new adapter or a
changed invocation shape now fails here rather than shipping a command
nobody answers to.

A custom profile can install explore without propose or apply, and the

against the workflow filter every init/update path already passes. Missing
workflows fall back to explore's own capture path and the openspec
instructions apply CLI. Output with every workflow installed is unchanged.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 626269ed73 fix(templates): stop generated skills naming workflows the profile omits (#1775)
* fix(templates): stop generated skills naming workflows the profile omits

The `core` profile installs six of the twelve workflows, but the update
and apply templates named `/opsx:continue` (6 times) and `/opsx:new`
(twice) regardless. On a default install those became
`/openspec-continue-change` and `/openspec-new-change` — skills that were
never written — so `update-change` refused to create a missing artifact
and handed off to a dead end. The only guard was a sentence asking the
model to check availability at runtime, 70 lines above the two places it
hits the wall.

`command-references.ts` decides how a reference is spelled; nothing
decided whether it should be emitted at all. Add that: templates author
both wordings with `optionalWorkflow()`, and `getSkillTemplates()` /
`getCommandTemplates()` — the one place every generation path already
funnels the resolved workflow set through — pick a branch before the
reference transformers run. A profile that omits a workflow now gets a
concrete `openspec status` / `openspec instructions` fallback instead of
a reference to a skill that does not exist.

Closes #1734

* chore(changeset): describe profile-aware workflow references

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

* test(init): assert the core profile names no uninstalled workflow

The end-to-end init test pinned the runtime availability hedging that
#1734 is about, and asserted `/opsx:continue` appears in the default
profile's generated update workflow — the bug itself. Assert the fixed
behavior instead: neither `/opsx:continue` nor `/opsx:new` appears, and
the CLI fallback is stated outright, for both the update and apply
surfaces.

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

* fix(templates): resolve every cross-workflow reference, not just core's

The first commit fixed the two templates the default profile broke on.
Every other cross-workflow handoff had the same shape, and arbitrary
subsets are reachable: a `custom` profile is whatever the user picked,
and `openspec update` re-derives a workflow set from what it finds on
disk (legacy tool overrides, inferred Codex workflows) without passing
it through getProfileWorkflows.

So resolve all of them:

- `apply` -> archive; `continue` -> apply, archive; `ff` -> apply;
  `new` -> continue; `propose` -> apply; `update` -> apply, archive;
  `archive` and `bulk-archive` -> sync.
- `onboard`'s two command-reference tables are built from the installed
  set rather than printed in full with an "only if installed" caveat, and
  its explore, resume and next-step prompts are resolved the same way.

Two supporting changes:

- `onlyWithWorkflow()` plus a whole-line rule in the resolver: a
  conditional that owns its line takes the line with it when it resolves
  to empty, so a dropped table row cannot leave a blank line that ends
  the table in markdown.
- `generateSkillContent()` and `generateCommand()` now throw on an
  unresolved marker. A generation path that skips the choke point fails
  loudly instead of writing `[[opsx:...]]` into a user's SKILL.md.

The propose and ff surfaces keep their deliberate wording difference
(#258): the command surface never invites "ask me to implement", so its
missing-`apply` fallback names the CLI rather than a conversation.

The guard test now runs the property over every subset that could expose
a reference — each workflow alone, everything but one, the empty set, and
the two shipped profiles — for skills and commands, in both spellings.
Twenty-plus of those cases fail against the previous commit.

Only `openspec-onboard` changes in the skills/ mirror: with every
workflow installed, all other templates render byte for byte as before.

* fix(templates): validate conditionals before choosing a branch

Resolution discarded the unselected branch and only then checked for
residual markers, so a truncated block inside the *missing* branch was
accepted for a profile that installs the workflow and rejected for one
that does not. Profile-dependent authoring errors are exactly what this
module exists to remove.

Validate the authored text up front instead: every marker must be one of
the three recognized forms, and they must appear as a flat sequence of
if / else / end. A malformed block now throws identically for every
profile. The post-resolution check stays as a backstop.

* docs: state the profile-aware handoff rule in the skills reference

alfred-openspec on #1775: docs-lab/reference/skills.md described several
handoffs as unconditional while this change deliberately emits a CLI or
conversational fallback when the profile omits the target.

Stated once, above the entries, rather than as a caveat on each of the eleven
affected Response and Creates rows: the page's recipe is one fact per row, and
repeating the same conditional eleven times would bury the contracts it exists
to state. The rows keep naming the skill that owns the next step, which is the
fact a reader looks up; the rule above them says what happens when that skill
is not installed.

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

* fix(workflows): fold #1735 into the profile-aware references

#1735 fixes the same issue (#1734) by removing the optional handoffs outright.
This PR resolves them at generation time instead, which is strictly better for
the template layer: an install that has `continue` still gets told about it.
So the mechanism here wins and #1735's content is folded in, rather than the
two competing for the same lines.

What #1735 had that this did not:

- src/commands/workflow/instructions.ts. The CLI's own runtime strings named
  the openspec-continue-change skill. Those are chosen at run time, so
  optionalWorkflow() cannot reach them; taken from #1735 verbatim.
- The blocked-state fallback. It was a one-line pointer; it now carries #1735's
  full CLI recovery (select the next `ready` artifact, not `skipped` or
  `blocked`, read its rules with `openspec instructions`, keep the selected
  `--store` on both commands) plus the tracking-file repair path and the
  `missingArtifacts` field it branches on. The installed branch still names
  `/opsx:continue`, so neither audience loses.

#1735's update-change.ts rewrite is not carried over: this PR already covers
all six of those sites conditionally, which is the better answer.

Both of #1735's test suites come across, and they are worth more here than
there. test/core/templates/profile-handoffs.test.ts asserts that no generated
file names an uninstalled workflow across every tool and all three delivery
modes, which is the property this PR's mechanism exists to provide, and it
passes against it. test/commands/profile-handoffs.test.ts covers the runtime
CLI strings. The two guards are complementary: that one is broad on tools and
deliveries, this PR's own profile-workflow-references.test.ts is broad on
workflow subsets.

#1735's command-references.test.ts assertions could not be carried as written,
since they assume the reference is gone unconditionally. Replaced with a case
that resolves the template against a set without `continue` and asserts the
fallback carries the whole recovery. Verified it fails when the fallback is
shortened.

* docs: name the core-profile fallback on the two rows that hit it

The rule above the entries covers every profile, but apply-change and
update-change are Core skills whose rows name openspec-continue-change, which
the core profile never installs. On the default install those rows now say what
the generated skill points to instead: openspec status and openspec instructions.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 6a87a514ec test(store): give the git probe cleanup hook the setup's timeout (#1900)
Deleting the 12000 fixture files on the Windows runner outlasts vitest's
default 10s hook timeout, so the suite failed after every test passed and
knocked PRs out of the merge queue.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 fede536c27 fix(update-change): draft the requested edit in step 4, write only in step 5 (#1840)
* fix(update-change): draft the requested edit in step 4, write only in step 5

Step 4 told the agent to "Apply the requested edit" while step 5 and the
guardrails told it to write only after the user confirms each revision.
"Apply" is a write verb in this very document - step 5 is titled "Confirm
and apply" - so the same request either wrote immediately or stopped and
showed the revision first, depending on which passage the agent weighed.
Step 5 is the workflow's only write path, so its confirmation guarantee
was unenforceable whenever step 4 governed.

Step 4 now drafts and says explicitly that it writes nothing; step 5
claims every write and shows the drafted edit for confirmation. Both
delivery surfaces and the committed skill carry the same wording, and a
regression test slices step 4 out of each body so no write verb can
reappear there.

Closes #1836

* fix(update-change): keep every edit verb out of the write-free step

Adversarial review of the first commit found three gaps.

Step 4 still opened a bullet with "Revise only files that already
exist" - the same shape as the bug, an imperative edit verb inside the
step that now declares it writes nothing. It reads as a scoping rule,
but "revise" is the write verb everywhere else in this body ("proposed
revision", "Which artifacts were revised"). It now says "Propose
revisions only to files that already exist".

The guard's `not.toMatch(/\bWrite\b/)` was inert and inverted: it was
case-sensitive, so it never matched the wording it was meant to pin,
and it could not be made case-insensitive because the fix's own text
says "do not write anything yet". It now strips that one sanctioned
sentence and rejects any remaining form of write or apply,
case-insensitively - so lowercase "write the drafted edit now", the
dangerous case, is caught. A second assertion rejects any step 4 bullet
opening with Revise/Edit/Update/Rewrite.

The changeset claimed no write verb could reappear in step 4, which was
not what the old guard did. It now states what the guard checks.

Also passes the surface label into section() so a marker drift names the
surface that broke.

* fix(update-change): let no passage outside step 5 authorize a write

Mutation-testing the first guard found it defeatable: 20 of 25 mutations
broke the #1836 contract and still passed. The two worst were structural,
not lexical - the guard only sliced steps 4 and 5, so an authorization
placed in the intro, in step 3, in the Guardrails or in the Output
section governed the agent while no assertion ever saw it; and step 5
carried only positive assertions, so its gate could be kept and then
exempted in the next sentence, or the whole-body confirmation guardrail
deleted outright, with nothing failing.

The guard now pins step 4's draft rule and the whole of step 5 verbatim,
requires the whole-body guardrail to survive, and scans every other
passage for write verbs and their synonyms (commit/save/persist/
overwrite/reapply/flush/emit), verb-free equivalents (perform, carry
out, in place, to disk), consent-bypass phrasing, and imperative edit
bullets including ones led by an adverb. All 22 mutations are now caught.

Two wording corrections came out of the same review. "nothing earlier
writes to disk" was false - every openspec invocation persists a
telemetry id via the root preAction hook - so step 5 now claims every
artifact write instead. Step 4 says "in the conversation, not in files",
borrowing explore.ts's phrasing, so "draft" cannot be read as writing a
draft file.

docs/commands.md carried the same apply-vs-confirm collision two lines
above the confirmation bullet, contradicting the worked example directly
below it; it now says "Drafts your requested revision".

* test(update-change): catch more imperative edit verbs outside step 5

CodeRabbit noted `- Modify the artifact now` slipped past the
imperative-bullet guard. Added Modify, Amend, Patch and Replace, each
verified to trip the guard. `Change` is deliberately excluded: step 6
already opens a bullet with "Change already implemented ...".

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

* test(update-change): prove the write-gate scan trips in every section

The outside-step-5 scan was only ever checked against the real body, so
nothing showed it could fail. Injecting a verb-free authorization into the
intro, Input, steps 1-2, Output or Guardrails passed on both surfaces (7 of
10 sections). The bare "already applied" allowlist entry also erased
"treat the requested edit as already applied" before any check ran.

- Move the scan into a function and add a mutation table: one injected
  authorization per section, asserted on skill and command bodies.
- Spell every sanctioned mention in full context.
- Flag any mention of the requested edit outside the pinned draft rule.
- Widen the consent-bypass filter (needs no / exempt from / skip confirm).

Also revert the legacy docs/commands.md edit: docs-lab reference/skills.md
is the published page and already states the confirm-then-write contract.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 92fb72d1dc fix(workflows): create the main spec when a capability is new (#1701)
* fix(workflows): create the main spec when a capability is new

The agent-driven archive workflow told agents to "compare each delta spec
with its corresponding main spec" and said nothing about the case where
that main spec does not exist yet. Comparing against nothing reads as
"already synced", so the agent took the archive branch and the new
capability's main spec was never written — the change landed in
changes/archive/ with openspec/specs/ still empty.

`openspec archive` already handles this: buildUpdatedSpec creates the spec
from the delta's ADDED requirements, rejects MODIFIED/RENAMED with "only
ADDED requirements are allowed for new specs", and warns past REMOVED. The
guidance now says the same thing, so the agent path and the CLI path agree:

- archive-change: a missing main spec counts as changes needed and is named
  in the summary as a spec the sync will create — never as already synced.
- sync-specs: MODIFIED and RENAMED have no requirement to act on when the
  main spec is absent, so the sync stops and reports rather than inventing
  one; REMOVED is skipped with a warning.

Guidance text only — no CLI, parser, or archive behavior changes.

Closes #1222
Closes #1264

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

* fix(sync): never create a main spec with nothing to put in it

CodeRabbit caught a gap in the previous commit: step 4b now tells the agent
a REMOVED-only delta has nothing to remove, but step 4d still read as
"create the main spec if the capability doesn't exist yet" unconditionally.
Following both would write a spec whose `## Requirements` section is empty.

Verified against the CLI on a REMOVED-only delta targeting a capability with
no main spec:

    Specs to update:
      parking: create
    ⚠️  Warning: parking - 1 REMOVED requirement(s) ignored for new spec.
    Validation errors in rebuilt spec for parking (will not write changes):
      ✗ Spec must have at least one requirement
    Aborted. No files were changed.

So step 4d is now gated on the delta having ADDED requirements to seed the
spec with, and says what the CLI reports when it does not.

* docs: define "main spec" and close the no-ADDED archive loop

Hardening pass over the two fixes in this branch.

Guidance: the archive step's verification pass re-runs the same comparison
the fix touched, so a delta that can create nothing — no ADDED requirements,
no main spec to merge into — would have been reported as "still needs sync"
after a sync that correctly created nothing, and an agent could loop on it.
That case now short-circuits with the reason, matching `openspec archive`,
which refuses it with "Spec must have at least one requirement".

Docs: the glossary defined "delta spec" but never "main spec", which is
half of #1647's terminology complaint. It now defines the term and says
that for a new capability the main spec is created by the archive rather
than written up front; concepts.md says the same in the delta-section table
and the archive process. The docs site generates from docs/ at build time,
so no website files change.

Changeset rewritten in the house style (prose, no commit header; the
changelog-github action supplies attribution) and renamed descriptively.

All three CLI branches this guidance describes were verified end to end:
ADDED against a greenfield repo creates the spec and carries its Purpose;
MODIFIED reports "target spec does not exist; only ADDED requirements are
allowed for new specs"; REMOVED-only aborts with "Spec must have at least
one requirement" and writes nothing.

* docs(glossary): a standalone sync creates the main spec too

The "Main spec" entry said the spec is created "by the archive", but the
"Sync" entry two sections down says /opsx:sync creates it as well, without
archiving — and specs-sync-skill's "New capability spec" scenario is the
sync's own behavior. Names both paths so the two entries agree.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 4c369e022b fix(explore): make the capture request the write confirmation (#1832)
* fix(explore): make the capture request the write confirmation

Explore's write-confirmation rule named `openspec new change` as an action
requiring a separate yes/no, while the capture branch told the agent to
transition "seamlessly" into running it. Both readings were defensible, so
the same request either wrote files immediately or stopped and asked.

State the resolution in all three places: an explicit capture request is
the confirmation, for the change and artifacts that request names. The
guardrail keeps its teeth where #1715 reported the problem — an
agent-proposed capture, or work beyond the requested scope, still asks.

Closes #1828

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

* test(explore): guard the capture branch against a re-added confirmation gate

Also disambiguate the scope fence in the IMPORTANT block: "the artifacts
that request names" parses as a relative clause, and it is the sentence an
agent weighs first. Match the article used by both restatements.

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

* fix(explore): put the capture discriminators where the decision is made

Four hardening findings from review of the first pass:

- A yes to an offer the agent made looks identical to a user-initiated
  capture request at the point the branch decides. The discriminator sat
  190 lines away in Guardrails. Move it into the branch, and require the
  offer to name what it would create.
- "Do not ask for a second confirmation" contradicted step 2 nine lines
  below it, which requires asking before expanding the capture. Narrow it
  to re-asking for what was already asked for.
- Scope the carve-out to change artifacts, so it cannot be read to reach
  the workflow configuration #1715 reported an agent editing.
- The Guardrails bullet restated the whole contract a third time, in a
  quick-reference list whose next-longest entry is 43 words. Replace with
  a pointer to the branch that owns it.

Tests: the three not.toContain guards could not see a gate phrased in
words they did not anticipate. Replace with a structural check that
collects every consent-bearing sentence and requires each to be sanctioned
— inside the capture branch with no topic filter, since a gate written
there is about the capture whether or not it says so. Mutation testing:
kills 6 of 8 contradiction mutations that survived before, and all three
sites stay independently pinned. The two survivors reverse the resolution
without any consent word and are noted as review-only.

* fix(explore): keep the contact clause in the scope fence

The previous commit reintroduced "the change artifacts that request
names", the garden-path parse that 55eeac6 removed: read as a relative
clause it says the artifacts name a request. Restore "the request names",
matching both restatements. Caught by CodeRabbit.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 e571b5b9ae fix(security): harden CLI against hostile-repository inputs and clear dependency advisories (#1835)
* fix(deps): upgrade vitest to 4.1.11 and override fflate

Clears GHSA-82fw-gwwq-j7x9 (path traversal / arbitrary file read via
@vitest/mocker redirect mock), the subject of all three open Dependabot
alerts. No patched 3.x exists — 4.1.11 is the first fixed release — so the
major bump is unavoidable.

Two things the plain Dependabot bump (#1823) got wrong, which is why its
tests failed on every platform:

- It left @vitest/ui on 3.x, which dragged vite/esbuild to 0.28.2 and broke
  the allowBuilds pin assertion in pnpm-workspace-config.test.ts. Upgrading
  @vitest/ui in lockstep keeps esbuild on 0.28.1.
- Vitest 4 no longer lets an arrow function stand in as a constructor
  implementation, so the ZshInstaller module mock threw "is not a
  constructor" across 8 completion tests. Converted the three mock factories
  to function expressions.

Also adds a pnpm override for fflate (GHSA-px8p-9vwx-vf98, infinite loop on
malformed ZIP64), which @vitest/ui 4.1.11 still pulls at 0.8.2.

`pnpm audit` is now clean: 0 vulnerabilities across all severities.

* fix(core): bound schema size and stop prototype keys shadowing worksets

Two low-severity robustness defects found during the security review.

Workset lookups tested membership with `state.worksets[name] !== undefined`
on a plain-prototype object. `constructor`, `toString`, `valueof` and
friends are all valid kebab ids, so `openspec workset add constructor`
reported "already exists" against empty state, `getWorkset` returned a
function off the prototype, and `withoutWorkset` took the found branch for a
workset that was never there. All three sites now use `hasOwnProperty`.
This was never prototype *pollution* — nothing is written through these
keys and Zod's `z.record` drops `__proto__` — only a correctness defect.

`SchemaYamlSchema.artifacts` was unbounded while `validateNoCycles` walks it
with a recursive DFS, so a project-local schema declaring a long `requires`
chain crashed the CLI with an uncaught `RangeError: Maximum call stack size
exceeded` instead of a validation error. Capped at 1000 artifacts, which
also bounds the reference-resolution and graph work.

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

* fix(security): stop repo-supplied text forging agent instructions

OpenSpec prints a pseudo-XML envelope that an AI coding agent consumes as
instructions, and interpolated repo content went in raw. The tags carry
authority - <project_context> means "background only", <task> means "do
this" - so a value that closes its own block is promoted from data to
directive.

Confirmed against a fresh build: a config.yaml `context:` value containing
`</project_context><system_override priority="critical">` landed a top-level
override block outside every "do NOT treat as instructions" guard. The same
breakout worked from `rules`, `description`, a dependency description, and a
schema `instruction`. A change directory name containing a quote forged
attributes on the <artifact> tag. In markdown output, a `context` line
starting with `##` forged a peer of the printer's own headings.

src/core/references.ts already had sanitizeInline written for exactly this
threat, documented as such, and simply was not applied here - it also only
flattened newlines, which one line of markup is enough to defeat. Extended it
and added three siblings beside it: escapeEnvelopeText, escapeEnvelopeAttribute,
and escapeEnvelopeCloseTags for content that must stay verbatim.

Template bodies deliberately get only their closing tags neutralized: the
shipped templates are full of `<!-- ... -->` comments and <placeholder>
markers that are copied into the generated artifact, so blanket escaping
would write &lt;!-- into every file. A block can only end at a closing tag,
so that is the load-bearing control.

Rules and operation guidance are flattened but explicitly not truncated -
they are instructions an agent must follow in full.

Separately, `openspec update` decided skill freshness from the generatedBy:
line alone and never compared bodies, so appending a step to a generated
SKILL.md still printed "All 1 tool(s) up to date". Skills now get the same
byte-comparison command files already had, and the plan names the reason.

* fix(security): remove super-linear scans and tighten write containment

Three regexes ran over whole repository files with a `\s` class that crosses
newlines under the `m` flag, so `^\s*` re-scanned from every line start. The
blowup is in the *failing* scan - a file with no `generatedBy:` line at all -
which is also the realistic attack file. Measured on this machine:

  extractGeneratedByVersion, 63 KB whitespace SKILL.md   3,103 ms -> <5 ms
  legacy-skill compare, 63 KB whitespace frontmatter     8,131 ms -> <5 ms
  buildUpdatedSpec, 195 KB of `<!--` openers             6,817 ms -> ~90 ms

The first two are reached by `openspec update`, the first command run after
cloning. The third is reached from extractPurposeSection during `openspec
archive`, on the write path.

The scans now use `[ \t]` and walk lines, and maskHtmlComments is an indexOf
scan that visits each character once instead of a lazy regex that re-scans to
EOF from every `<!--`. Both rewrites were fuzzed against the originals -
200,000 random inputs each, 0 mismatches - so the `--!>` terminator and the
"unterminated comment runs to EOF" rule from #1413 are preserved exactly.

resolveTrustedSpecPath treated a failed containment check as permission to
re-root trust on the symlink's own target, on the theory that monorepo
symlinks may be intentional. A repo shipping openspec/specs/<cap> as a link
out of the tree therefore got `openspec archive` to write attacker-controlled
markdown to <external>/spec.md while printing the in-project path. The
fallback root must now still be inside the project, matching retireSpec,
which already refused to delete an external target.

Also: `validate <id> --type spec|change` short-circuited the name guard that
`show` applies, so a traversing id reached a bare path.join; and markTipSeen
wrote the global config through a predictable <config>.<pid>.tmp at default
0644 instead of the repo's existing writeFileAtomically (random name, 0600).

* fix(security): harden subprocess and shell-config write paths

Defense in depth. The audit confirmed there is no shell injection anywhere in
src/ - no `shell: true`, no user value concatenated into a command line - so
none of these are live exploits; they are the sharp edges next to that line.

Completion install wrote the completions directory into .bashrc/.zshrc inside
double quotes, so a `$(...)` or backtick in HOME/XDG_DATA_HOME became command
execution on every future shell start. Both installers now single-quote the
path through a shared helper.

`feedback` shelled out for two probes (`which gh`, `gh auth status`) directly
alongside free-form user title and body text - the most plausible site for a
future injection regression. Both are execFileSync now, behavior unchanged.

Git subprocesses inherited the default 1 MB maxBuffer with no timeout, so a
large dirty tree made `git status --porcelain` throw ENOBUFS, which gitProbe's
bare catch turned into "no git facts" - `openspec doctor` then silently stopped
reporting uncommitted changes. They now share GIT_EXEC_OPTIONS (15s timeout,
16 MB buffer) the way readCliVersion already did, and the catch distinguishes
a resource failure from "git absent" so the degraded path is no longer silent.

The GITHUB_OUTPUT heredoc in validate-changesets used a fixed EOF delimiter
over a list of PR-authored paths; it is now run-unique.

Finally, both package.json files still carried a `pnpm` block. pnpm 10 uses
that block *instead of* pnpm-workspace.yaml rather than merging with it, which
is exactly the override-displacement trap dependabot.yml documents as #1812 -
and it is where Dependabot writes when it bumps an overridden package. The
block only duplicated `allowBuilds`, so removing it leaves both lockfiles
byte-identical with every advisory override intact, and denies Dependabot the
block to write into. The workspace test now asserts `pnpm` is absent entirely.

* fix(security): pin the update check to TLS and honor telemetry opt-out

The update check asked whatever `npm_config_registry` named, over any
protocol. A code comment asserted that file contents deliberately cannot
choose the destination; that was not true. npm exports every config source it
reads, including a `registry=` line in a repository-local .npmrc that travels
with a clone - reproduced: `registry=http://169.254.169.254/` came straight
through `npm run`.

That is a cleartext GET at an address of the repository's choosing, and it
escalates. The attacker's reply says `{"version":"99.0.0"}`, which triggers
the upgrade prompt whose default is Yes; accepting runs `npm install -g`,
which npm resolves against that same attacker registry. Cloning a repository
and answering one prompt installs an attacker-chosen global package.

Both halves are now closed. The registry override is honored only over https,
falling back to the public registry otherwise, and canSelfUpgrade() refuses
when the resolved registry is not the public origin - a private mirror can
still inform the check but can never drive an install prompt. Redirects must
stay https and on the origin resolved up front, not merely the previous hop,
so no single reply can steer the request elsewhere. The comment now describes
what the code actually guarantees.

Separately, the opt-out env vars were exact-string matches, so DO_NOT_TRACK=true
and OPENSPEC_TELEMETRY=false both silently left telemetry ON - the spellings a
user is most likely to reach for, and inconsistent with the tolerant
isCiEnvironment() helper beside them. Parsing is now tolerant, shared between
both call sites, and fails safe: an unparseable value suppresses the request.

The first --json run also sent an event before the disclosure was ever shown -
the notice is correctly deferred so it cannot corrupt machine-readable output,
but trackCommand fired regardless, and agent-driven --json may be a user's only
mode. No event is sent and no anonymous id is created until the notice has
actually been printed.

No existing guard was weakened: the 256 KB body cap, 3-redirect cap, single
budget timer, strict version regex, argv-based spawn, CI/test guards and the
four-field payload are untouched.

* fix(security): make the close-tag escape linear

CodeQL js/polynomial-redos on the escape added in a563b0591 - and it is the
same defect class this PR set out to remove, in the fix for it.

`/<\/[A-Za-z][^>]*>/g` scans for a closing `>` from every `</`, so a template
of `</A` repeated is quadratic. Measured before: 20 KB 274 ms, 40 KB 1,223 ms,
80 KB 3,917 ms. Reachable, because escapeEnvelopeCloseTags is applied to
`template`, which is repo-controlled.

Rewritten to rewrite the `</` opener alone. The escape only ever swapped the
`<`, so for a well-formed tag the output is byte-identical - verified across
200,000 fuzzed inputs, with zero cases where the new form escapes fewer
closers than the old. It needs no scan at all (2 MB in 35 ms) and additionally
catches a closer whose `>` never arrives.

The other regexes added by this PR were re-checked the same way and are all
linear.

* chore(nix): refresh pnpmDeps hash for the upgraded lockfile

The flake pins a fixed-output hash over pnpm-lock.yaml, so it goes stale on
any lockfile change - here the vitest 4.1.11 upgrade and the fflate override.
Hash taken from the Nix Flake Validation job, which builds specifically to
report the correct one.

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

* fix(completions): quote the completions dir in printed instructions too

Two review findings.

CodeRabbit caught that only the auto-configured rc block was quoted. When
auto-configuration is off or fails, the installer prints the same lines for
the user to paste into their own rc file - and those were still interpolated
raw, so an expansion in HOME/XDG_DATA_HOME runs on every future shell start
exactly as it would have from the written block. The zsh fpath line was worse
than the bash one: not even double-quoted, so an ordinary space broke it.
Both now go through the same shellSingleQuote helper, with coverage that
exercises the auto-config-disabled path.

Windows CI also failed on a test of this PR's own: it created a change
directory literally named `x"  IGNORE-PREVIOUS  y="`, and Windows forbids `"`
in a filename. The end-to-end vector therefore does not exist on Windows, so
that case is skipped there and the escape itself is now unit-tested on every
platform.

* fix(security): narrow envelope escaping to the tags that carry authority

The first pass escaped every `&`, `<` and `>` in repo-supplied text. A
regression review found that mangles ordinary content for every user - and
worse, OpenSpec's own shipped spec-driven schema, which writes
`### Requirement: <name>`, `specs/<capability-path>/spec.md` and
`openspec show "<spec-id>"` on eleven lines. Agents were reading OpenSpec's
own format guidance as `### Requirement: &lt;name&gt;`. Ordinary `context:`
values suffered the same way: `R&D`, `pnpm build && pnpm test`,
`Result<T, E>`, `2> api.log`.

Only a fixed vocabulary is neutralized now - the tags the printer actually
uses to frame its blocks - in both their opening and closing forms, with
attributes. That is the entire breakout surface: a block ends at its own
closing tag, and a forged opener only carries authority if it names one of
these. Everything else reaches the agent exactly as written. Verified by
rendering the real spec-driven instructions: no entity encoding anywhere.

Escaping both forms is also stronger than the first pass in one respect - it
neutralizes a forged `<task priority="highest">` opener, which the earlier
close-tag-only rule for templates let through.

Markdown heading escaping is dropped entirely. It fired inside fenced code
blocks, so a `# install deps` in a project's context became `\# install deps`
for everyone, and it defended a markdown surface with no envelope to break out
of. Guidance entries are still flattened, so the one-line forgery is still
blocked; a multi-line `context:` can add a heading inside its own labelled
block, which is an accepted limit now recorded in the test.

sanitizeInline goes back to flattening only, so JSON output stops
entity-encoding spec Purpose lines.

* fix(security): repair four regressions the hardening introduced

A regression review of this PR found four ways the fixes broke legitimate
behavior. All are confirmed and reproduced.

**validate rejected every nested spec id.** The new name guard sits in
validateByType, which is the funnel for three entry paths, not just --type.
Nested capabilities (specs/<area>/<capability>/spec.md, #1353) have ids
containing `/`, so `openspec validate platform/session-layout` started
failing - including the exact command `validate --specs` prints as its own
hint. The guard now runs per path segment, so `..` and backslashes are still
refused while nested ids pass.

**git writes could wedge a user's repository.** GIT_EXEC_OPTIONS was applied
to `init`, `add`, `commit` and the rollback `rm --cached`, with
killSignal SIGKILL. git traps SIGTERM to remove .git/index.lock on its way
out; a signal it cannot catch leaves the lock behind, so every later git
command in the store fails with "Another git process seems to be running" -
including the best-effort unstage, which runs in exactly that case. 15s was
also too short for a signed commit waiting on pinentry. Writes now have their
own bounds: no hard kill, 120s.

**A private registry silently became the public one.** Rejecting a non-https
registry fell back to registry.npmjs.org, which sends the request an internal
mirror deliberately avoided and reports a version resolved against a registry
the eventual `npm install -g` does not use. A rejected registry now disables
the check instead, and isDefaultRegistry reads the raw env var so it still
disqualifies a self-upgrade.

**Redirects were pinned to one origin**, which killed the mirror and corporate
front-end case the redirect support exists for. Cross-host is allowed again;
leaving TLS is not.

Also: an external capability symlink is no longer refused. Two places in this
codebase document such links as intentional monorepo layout, so refusing them
broke a supported setup. The real defect was silence - the CLI reported the
in-project path while writing elsewhere - so the write proceeds and names its
actual destination.

* test: make the new security tests portable and discriminating

A test-quality audit of this PR's own tests.

The ReDoS bounds passed on reverted code far too easily - discrimination was
only 1.9x, 3.0x and 2.6x, so a full revert could slip through on a fast
machine. These scans are quadratic, so the hostile inputs are now large enough
to separate the two decisively: 32x, 32x and 10.6x, with the fixed code still
running in milliseconds against a 500-800ms bound. Comments that cited
invented pre-fix timings are replaced with measured figures or a plain
statement of the complexity.

git-probe-limits wrote 6000 files with 245-character basenames, putting the
absolute path past MAX_PATH on a windows-latest runner - and it sits in
beforeAll, so the whole file would have died there. 120-character names x
12000 files keeps porcelain output over the 1 MB threshold at ~190-character
paths. This is the same class of defect as the Windows failure already fixed
in this PR.

validate.name-guard built its fixture at process.cwd(), which is not
gitignored; a security test should not leave files in the working tree.

The worksets test looped over three names but only `constructor` is actually
on Object.prototype and a legal id, so two thirds of it passed unchanged on
main. `__proto__` is not reachable - isKebabId rejects underscores - and both
facts are now stated rather than papered over.

Adds the missing coverage for the git timeout half of the exec hardening,
against synthetic error shapes rather than a 15-second sleep, including the
negative cases that keep the classifier honest.

Sizing the fixture up to 12000 files to keep porcelain output over 1 MB made

the whole beforeAll with it. Written one at a time instead; the hook still

* fix(init): make the universal tool target findable in the picker

Closes #653

`openspec init`'s tool picker is a searchable list of product names. The
vendor-neutral target every unlisted assistant is meant to use was named
"Shared .agents skills" — after the directory it writes, which is not a
word anyone in that position searches for. Typing "universal", "other" or
"generic" returned "No matches", so the escape hatch was unreachable and
the reporter had to open an issue to find it.

Rename the entry to "Other / Universal (shared .agents skills)" and give
choices optional `searchAliases` the filter also matches. The picker also
dropped every non-alphanumeric keystroke: readline reports punctuation
only in `key.sequence`, leaving `key.name` undefined, so ".agents" and
"amazon-q" could not be typed at all.

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

* fix(init): point at the universal target when a tool search matches nothing

"No matches" is where someone whose assistant is not on the list gives
up — the picker knows the answer and does not say it. Add an optional
`emptyHint` to the searchable multi-select, and have init name the
vendor-neutral entry there.

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

* fix(init): close every dead end that hides the universal tool target

Hardening pass over the same defect. Reviewing the first fix turned up
four more places the answer was withheld:

- `openspec update`'s tool picker builds its own choices and never
  passed searchAliases through, so the same search failed there.
- `--tools <unknown>` printed a bare list of ids. It now names the
  fallback, the scripted counterpart of the picker's empty hint. The
  hint I first put on validateTools sat on an unreachable branch; the
  path users actually hit is the "Invalid tool(s)" parse error, and a
  test now pins it.
- The search box dropped pasted text as well as punctuation. Any
  sequence whose characters are all printable is now accepted, which
  also lets a space reach the box so "claude code" filters. Escape
  sequences carry control characters and are still rejected, and the
  `name` fallback stays single-character so readline names like 'tab'
  are never typed.
- docs-lab still taught the old label in two places.

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

* docs: keep the FAQ a router and finish the alias list

- help/faq.md is a one-liner surface (README's "FAQ is one-liners" rule),
  so the answer points at the support matrix's Other / Universal section
  instead of restating the picker's search terms. Drops the em dash that
  writing.md forbids.
- reference/supported-tools.md keeps the search terms, now all nine the
  picker actually matches: `vendor-neutral` and `agents.md` were added to
  searchAliases after the first draft of this page. Same correction in the
  legacy docs/supported-tools.md paragraph.

paste in the changeset and code comment.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 8b99c07bd0 fix(status): name the command that resumes a change (#1786)
* fix(status): name the command that resumes a change

`openspec status` printed the artifact checklist and stopped. The command
that moves the change forward was computed already and shipped in the JSON
`nextSteps` sentence, but the text surface never rendered it, so anyone
resuming a change had to know the next command by heart.

Extract `resolveNextStep` so the command and the published sentence come
from one place, and print it as a `Next:` line — matching the idiom
`openspec new change` already uses to hand off to `openspec status`.

The completion case matters most: "All planning artifacts complete!" reads
as "you are done" even while implementation tasks remain, and it is now
followed by the `openspec instructions apply` command that resumes the work.

Closes #906

* test(status): cover the next-step line, and record it in the spec

The behavior change shipped without the OpenSpec change this repo requires
of user-facing work, and without coverage for the paths a reviewer would
reasonably ask about.

Adds `add-status-next-step`, whose delta modifies `Next Artifact Discovery`
in `cli-artifact-workflow` - the requirement that already says status is how
you learn what comes next. It now also says status names the command.

Coverage added:
- Unit tests for `resolveNextStep`, pinning the published `nextSteps`
  sentences verbatim. Confirmed byte-identical to main's output, so the
  split into command + sentence provably did not reword the contract.
- Custom-schema case: the line is built from the resolved artifact id, so a
  project with neither proposal/specs/design/tasks still gets a usable
  command.
- Skipped artifacts are never named - they satisfy dependents but must not
  be created.
- `--json` stays parseable and carries no `Next:` line.
- `--all` gives every change its own line, and a failed entry none.

* test(status): assert the next-step line closes the output

The spec delta says the text output ends with the `Next:` line, but the

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 09a999bbb2 fix(changes): report a change nested in a namespace folder (#1849)
* fix(changes): report a change nested in a namespace folder

Specs can be nested by domain (`specs/mobile/tutorial-videos/spec.md`), so
laying changes out the same way looks reasonable - but a change is only ever a
directory directly under `changes/`. `changes/mobile/refresh-token/` left the
real change invisible to every command while `mobile`, the folder around it,
was reported as an ordinary task-less change. Nothing said so, and
`openspec archive mobile` moved the unfinished change into the archive under
the namespace's name with none of its deltas applied.

A directory under `changes/` is now recognised as a namespace folder when it
carries no change-root artifact of its own and wraps a directory that does.
The probe is deliberately conservative: a miss behaves exactly as before, and
an ordinary change - including a scaffolded one with no artifacts yet, and one
whose only content is a root delta spec - is never reported as a folder.

- `openspec list` marks it `not a change` and explains the flat-only layout
  instead of printing `No tasks`; `--json` gains an additive `warnings` entry.
- `openspec show` and `openspec status --change` say the same rather than
  reporting a change that has no proposal yet.
- `openspec validate` reports the nesting instead of "must have at least one
  delta", with next steps that name the fix rather than delta authoring.
- `openspec archive` refuses it outright - burying an active change is data
  loss, not something to warn about.

Closes #1846.

* docs(agent-contract): document the list --json nesting warning

Agents read 4.1 as the shape contract, so the additive `warnings` array and
per-entry `nested` field have to appear there, along with the instruction not
to treat a flagged entry as a change.

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

* fix(changes): harden the nested-change probe and cover status --all

Adversarial review of the first commit found three holes.

A custom schema may generate every root artifact into a subdirectory
(`generates: rfc/proposal.md`). Created by hand, such a change carries no
`.openspec.yaml`, so the marker probe read it as a namespace folder wrapping a
change called `rfc` - a legitimate change that validated clean before, now
refused by validate, status, instructions and archive, with no flag to get
past it.

The same probe missed the case it was written for whenever the nested change
started from its delta specs rather than a proposal: `mobile/refresh-token/`
holding only `specs/auth/spec.md` still archived as `mobile`, deltas dropped.
A nested change is always hand-made - `openspec new change` rejects a name with
a separator - so "mkdir the tree, write the deltas first" is a common way to
arrive here.

Both come from asking one question. A directory is now recognised as a change
by a root artifact OR a populated `specs/`, and a directory holding any file of
its own is never a namespace folder. The `specs/**/*.md` shape is fixed by the
delta format rather than by the schema, which is what makes it safe to lean on.

`change show archive` also reached the probe - it has no reserved-name guard -
and offered to rename every dated archive entry into an active change. The
reserved name is rejected in the probe itself, so no caller can repeat it.

`status --all` read each directory straight through `loadStatus`, bypassing the
lookup guard, and printed a whole artifact plan for work that is not there. It
now carries the same per-change diagnostic a malformed change does, and the
sweep continues past it.

* fix(changes): trust the resolved schema before calling a folder a namespace

A hand-made change under a custom schema that generates into a subdirectory

archive. The probe now also counts a file at any path the resolved schema
generates, the same check status uses to mark an artifact done.

Move the flat-change-folder docs from legacy docs/ to docs-lab reference/cli.md.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 09984b8242 fix(validate): warn when tracked tasks have no checkboxes (#1774)
* fix(validate): warn when tracked tasks have no checkboxes

Progress counts checkboxes and nothing else, so a tasks.md written as
plain bullets or a numbered list is worse than an empty one: `openspec
list` and `openspec status` report "No tasks", and `openspec archive`
has no incomplete task to warn about. The file reads as finished to the
tool and unfinished to a human.

`openspec validate` now warns when every task file the change's schema
tracks contains list items but not one checkbox, pointing at the first
offending line. Reported per change, not per file, so a checklist
alongside a prose file stays silent, and only files an artifact actually
declares are linted - a bare tasks.md no schema tracks is left alone.

Closes #354

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

* fix(validate): honor fence delimiter length and width

CommonMark closes a fence only on the same character, a run at least as
long as the opener's, and no info string. Comparing the first character
alone let an inner ``` end an outer ```` block, exposing the bullets of
a nested code sample as a task list. The delimiter pattern also loses
its end anchor: `.` does not match `\r`, so an anchored info-string
group matched nothing in a CRLF file and blinded the scan to fences.

Adds the nested-fence, annotated-closer, tilde/backtick, longer-closer
and CRLF cases, plus an e2e change whose nested task files are all
bullets, asserting both reported paths stay POSIX-separated.

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

* fix(validate): scan rendered content and complete evidence only

Hardening pass over the checkbox warning.

The scan for the offending line now skips YAML front matter and HTML
comment blocks alongside fenced code. A list under `tags:` is metadata
about the file rather than the work it tracks, and a commented-out list
is not work either; each exclusion can only silence a warning, never
drop a real task, which is the opposite trade from the task parser. An
unterminated `---` opener rewinds to the top, because that is a thematic
break and everything below it is still content. Only a comment opening
its own line hides that line, so the template's `## 1. <!-- Task Group
Name -->` heading cannot swallow the checklist beneath it.

A tracked file that exists but cannot be read now withdraws the warning
entirely: "no file here holds a checkbox" is a claim about the whole
tracked set, and the checkboxes may be in exactly the file that would
not open. `validate --archived` stays the surface that reports an
unreadable task file loudly (#205).

The message leads with the consequence rather than an accusation, since
a file may legitimately carry a bulleted note and no tasks yet.

New coverage: every packaged tasks template is asserted checkbox-shaped
(the guard fails if a template loses its boxes), a schema tracking tasks
by artifact id with no `apply` block, the deprecated `change validate`
text output, and an unreadable tracked file.

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

* fix(validate): match CommonMark on fence indent and front matter

Two block-scanning defects, both of which hid list items.

A fence indented four spaces is an indented code block, not an opener.
Accepting it left the scan inside a block that never began, so every
list below it went unseen. Fence recognition now stops at three spaces.

`----` is a thematic break, not a YAML front-matter delimiter. Matching
three-or-more dashes let one open a block that swallowed the list under
it until the next `---`. Front matter is now exactly three dashes.

Two test defects alongside them. The deprecated-command test claimed to
assert the reported line, but the text renderer prints no line for any
issue; it now asserts the level and path prefix that surface actually
emits, with the line left to the JSON assertion that already covers it.
The unreadable-file fixture would have passed for the wrong reason had
the mode not taken, since the checkbox it hides would have silenced the
warning by itself; the read failure is now asserted first.

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

* fix(validate): name task files relative to a canonical change dir

Windows CI caught the report naming a task file
`../../../../../../../../runneradmin/AppData/.../tasks.md` instead of
`tasks.md`. `resolveArtifactOutputs` hands back real paths while
`changeDir` carries whatever spelling the caller resolved, and a short
8.3 alias against its expanded form is a difference in spelling, not in
location, so the relative path escaped the change. A symlinked project
directory reproduces it off Windows.

Canonicalizing both sides recovers the relationship. A path that still
escapes falls back to the file name, so no report can leak an absolute
filesystem path. Numbering issues are named through the same helper and
gain the same fix.

The deprecated-command test now asserts the `[WARNING] tasks.md:` prefix
that exposed this, and the Windows job is its regression guard: the
mismatch cannot be staged on POSIX, where the spawned CLI's cwd is
already physical.

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

* fix(validate): keep indented code out of the uncheckboxed-task scan

alfred-openspec on #1774: the scan said it reads rendered content, but
LIST_ITEM began with \s* and so reported top-level four-space-indented code
such as '    - example output' as an uncheckboxed task list. Under --strict
that false positive failed validation on a correct file.

A list-shaped line is now taken only below four visual columns of indent, the
same cut the fence logic already applies, with tabs counting as four. Genuine
nested lists are untouched: this scan reports the first list item it finds and
a nested item always sits under a shallower parent, so the parent is reported
exactly as before. A list-shaped line four columns deep with nothing shallower
above it is not nested under anything, which is what makes it code.

Regressions cover space-indented, tab-indented and numbered code samples, and
pin both the nested-list case (parent still reported) and three-space indent
(not code). Verified the guard bites: removing the column test fails them.

Also moves the documentation to its canonical home. docs-lab/README.md says the
old docs/ tree is legacy and must stay untouched, so the docs/concepts.md line
is dropped and the warning is documented under 'openspec validate' in
docs-lab/reference/cli.md, beside the archive merge findings.

A prose-only task file that opened with a UTF-8 BOM before its front

count as no task still warn, whichever PR merges first.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 b928165276 docs(explore): stop claiming explore never writes files (#1838)
* docs(explore): stop claiming explore never writes files

Sixteen lines across both documentation trees told users that
`/opsx:explore` creates no artifacts and writes no files, full stop.

That has been false since explore shipped (#467): its capture branch
writes the planning artifacts the user asked for, and can edit an
existing change's artifacts. #1503 later made it scaffold with
`openspec new change` first, closing #668 and #720.

The claim appeared in two shapes. Six lines denied the capability
outright ("Explore creates no artifacts and writes no code"). Ten more
said the same thing as a timing claim ("before any artifact exists"),
which reads as ordinary pitch copy and is what escaped the first pass.

Every site now carries one guarantee, worded the same way: explore
never writes code, and writes nothing else unless you ask, or say yes
when it offers. Four sites described only the user-initiated trigger,
which left the offer path - the one a reader actually hits - looking
like it did not exist.

docs/explore.md and docs/commands.md also gain a positive description
of capture where the denial used to sit, including what scaffolding
creates beyond the artifacts you named, and how capture differs from
handing off to propose (propose writes the set your schema requires;
capture writes only what you named).

Closes #1833

* test(docs): keep the retired explore wording retired

A flat list of the phrasings that actually carried the claim, swept
over the eleven pages that pitch explore. Fails on main with all
sixteen offenders; clean on this branch.

Modeled on test/vocabulary-sweep.test.ts, and deliberately a list
rather than a grammar. An earlier draft built the grammar - section
splitting, code-fence tracking, a conditional-marker exemption so
"creates no artifacts unless you ask" would pass - and measured
against realistic prose it was imprecise in both directions while
returning the same verdict on the real input. The list has no
exemption logic to get wrong, and any maintainer can extend it.

Phrasings that are only wrong in the absolute ("writes nothing",
"creates nothing") are left to review, since the conditional form of
each is the wording the failure message recommends.

* test(docs): pin the explore capture contract, not the word

The guide check matched any "capture", so "explore automatically captures
every artifact" passed. Both explore.md and commands.md now must name the
user trigger, `openspec new change`, and the named-artifacts scope, with no
capture line claiming it happens unprompted, and keep "never writes code".

Also scope the explore.md guarantee to the setup files a new change needs,
and make the commands.md offer name the change and its scope, which the
template asks for on main and after #1832.

* test(docs): accept negated unprompted-capture wording, catch non-capture verbs

The unprompted check matched "automatically" on any capture line, so the
correct "Explore does not automatically capture artifacts" failed, while
"Explore automatically writes planning artifacts" was never scanned because
it lacks the word capture. Check each clause of lines naming explore or
capture for an unprompted write verb with no preceding negation.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 e4e112d94f chore(deps): declare pnpm overrides only in pnpm-workspace.yaml (#1816)
The security overrides were declared twice: in pnpm-workspace.yaml, with
the advisory comments explaining each pin, and again under
package.json's pnpm.overrides. The copies are not additive — pnpm 10
uses package.json's block instead of the workspace list when both are
present — and Dependabot rewrites plain-name entries in package.json
whenever it bumps the same package. So a routine bump silently

3915db763a fix(guidance): teach the spec-inventory verb to generated guidance (#1700)
* fix(guidance): teach the spec-inventory verb to generated guidance

`openspec list --specs` appeared in no generated skill, command, or
artifact instruction, while `openspec list --json` — the in-flight
CHANGE list — appeared throughout. An agent asked to read the existing
specs first reached for the one enumeration verb it had been taught,
got the change list, found it plausible, and reported the step complete
against the wrong object.

Explore now lists the spec inventory alongside the change list and says
which is which. The spec-driven `proposal` and `specs` instructions name
the command at the two points that need it: researching existing
capabilities before filling in the Capabilities section, and confirming
a delta's path matches an existing capability.

Guidance text only — no CLI, parser, or archive behavior changes.

Closes #1689

* fix(guidance): carry the store qualifier wherever the command is named

A bare `openspec list --specs` reads the local inventory, so under a
selected store it confirms a capability path against the wrong root. The
proposal instruction carried the qualifier; the modified-capability
instruction did not. All four sites now use the same wording, and the
guard is scoped to the passage that names the command — every explore
body already carries the qualifier in its unrelated capture steps, so a
whole-body assertion would pass with it dropped here.

Addresses CodeRabbit review on #1700.

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

* fix(guidance): read a listed capability with the store-aware command

The read step I added defeated the fix under a store. It told the agent to
list the inventory with `--store "<id>"`, then read the result back from
`openspec/specs/<capability-path>/spec.md` — a local path. Verified against
a registered store: `list --specs --store mystore` returns
`store-only-capability`, and the corresponding local read fails outright
(or, when a local capability happens to share the name, silently returns a
different one). That is the same wrong-object failure #1689 is about,
reintroduced one line later.

Capabilities are now read with
`openspec show "<spec-id>" --type spec --json --no-scenarios`, which
resolves against the same root the listing came from and returns purpose
plus requirement texts without pulling whole spec files into context.
`--type spec` is load-bearing: a change and a spec sharing a name is an
ambiguous_item error, and change names routinely mirror capability names.

Also documents `--store` on `list` and `show` in docs/cli.md. Both already
accepted the flag — the prose at line 228 says so — but neither options
table listed it.

* fix: Use ASCII arrows instead of unicode

This fixes the issue of ambiguous unicode character width when visualizing on terminals

* fix: Update remaining docs within explore to use ASCII

* fix(explore): finish the ASCII conversion and guard it

Rebase onto main and close the gaps in the original fix:

- Regenerate skills/openspec-explore/SKILL.md. The static skills/ mirror
  landed after this branch was cut, so the parity test would have failed
  with the template and the mirror out of sync.
- Regenerate the three parity hashes through scripts/regen-parity-hashes.mjs.
- Convert the ambiguous-width glyphs the first pass missed: the bullets in
  the CLI-storage example, and the check/cross marks in its comparison
  table, which sat in the column-aligned block the bug is about.
- Tighten the ASCII guidance to two lines. It ships into every user
  project on both delivery surfaces, so the paragraph was pure overhead.
- Add regression tests (#983): every fenced example in both the skill and
  the command body must be free of box-drawing, arrow, bullet, and
  check/cross glyphs, and the guidance must state the rule and the reason.
- Add a patch changeset.

* test(explore): cover every check/cross dingbat in the ASCII guard

The matcher listed U+2713 and U+2717 only, so a fenced example could use
✕ (U+2715) or ✘ (U+2718) — same ambiguous width, same misalignment — and
still pass. Widen to the U+2713-U+2718 run.

The explore template now carries three independent guidance edits: the
spec-inventory verb, the ASCII diagram conversion, and the write
confirmation contract. Each pinned its own hash constants, so the pinned
values no longer describe the combined template.

Regenerate them from the merged source with `regen:parity-hashes` rather

`openspec list` and `openspec show`, so this branch's docs/cli.md rows added
a third copy in the stale tree and nothing else.

alfred-openspec on #1700: the release note still said docs/cli.md now documents
--store on list and show, but that legacy-tree edit was removed from this head
and the diff does not touch docs/cli.md. The canonical docs-lab/reference/cli.md
already documented the flag on both commands, which is why the edit went.

Removing the sentence rather than repointing it at docs-lab: nothing in
docs-lab changed either, so there is no documentation change to announce.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 c170dc77ad fix(archive): read a wrapped scenario bullet as one bullet (#1782)
* fix(archive): read a wrapped scenario bullet as one bullet

A repository that wraps its prose at a column limit writes most scenario
bullets over two lines. The retirement guard read the continuation line
as content the merge could not account for, so `retire_capabilities`
refused every such spec - and because the hint that names the marker is
gated on that same count, an unmarked author got the bare "must have at
least one requirement" abort and never learned the retirement path
exists.

A line indented to the content column of the item above it, with no
blank line between, is part of that item. It is accounted for when the
item was and already reported when it was not, so nothing is deleted
unmentioned either way. A blank line still ends the item, so a note
written below the scenarios is still the author's own however it is
indented.

Closes #1780

* fix(archive): keep an indented heading out of a bullet's continuation

Continuation is for wrapped prose. A raw HTML heading indented under a
scenario bullet was absorbed by it, so indenting a section one level
would have smuggled it past the audit and deleted it with the file. ATX
headings were already excluded; HTML ones now are too, matching how the
pass above the requirements section reads them.

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

* fix(archive): flag a setext heading indented under a bullet

A setext underline turns the line above it into a heading, so indenting
the pair one level under a scenario bullet let a whole section be
absorbed as continuation and deleted with the file. Checked ahead of the
continuation branch now, the same way the ATX and raw HTML forms already
are.

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

* fix(archive): read an unindented wrapped bullet as one bullet too

Not every wrap indents its continuation, and the indent-only rule left
the reported bug fixed for one spelling and live for the other: a
hand-wrapped scenario bullet still refused the retirement.

Inside a scenario's unbroken bullet run a lazy continuation is now read
as part of the bullet above it. This widens nothing - a sibling bullet
written in that same position is already read as the scenario's own, and
a lazy line is part of the bullet where a sibling is merely next to it.
Past the blank line that ends the run the indent is still required, so a
note bulleted below the scenarios and the line that wraps it stay the
author's.

Also covers CRLF specs, and asserts the refusal report names only the
real leftover in a wrapped multi-requirement spec rather than burying it
under continuations.

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

* fix(archive): stop a lazy continuation at anything that opens a block

CommonMark lets a blockquote, thematic break, table, list item or raw
HTML interrupt a paragraph, so one written flush against a scenario
bullet starts something new rather than continuing it. The lazy
allowance absorbed all of them, which would have deleted an author's
note with the file and named nothing.

The bullet's paragraph is now tracked as its own state: opened by a
bullet, closed by a blank line, a fence, a heading, or a line that opens
a block - including one indented inside the item, whose own paragraph
ends the bullet's. Lazy continuation applies only while it is open.
Indented continuation is unaffected: a nested list or quote sitting
inside the item is still the item's own content.

Each of the six holes is pinned by a test proven to fail with the
narrower rule removed.

* fix(archive): classify a line as the list item sees it

A marker as wide as `100. ` puts the item's content past the three
columns a Markdown construct is allowed at the file's left margin, so
`## Retention` written inside such an item read as five spaces of
nothing and was absorbed as continuation - a regression against the
behavior before continuation existed, which named it.

Every syntax test in the audit now reads the line with the item's
indent removed, so a heading, a setext underline or a block start is
recognized wherever the item sits.

* fix(archive): share one list-marker definition with the paragraph rule

Folds in the marker coverage from the duplicate PR #1789, which fixes the same
issue (#1780) with a shallower model.

The audit named `-`, `*` and ordered items as list markers, while
INTERRUPTS_PARAGRAPH, added in this same PR, already named `+` and capped an
ordered marker at CommonMark's nine digits. The two disagreed, so a line one
called a bullet and the other did not was read as both at once.

Both now use one LIST_ITEM constant:

- `+` is the behavior fix. A spec bulleted with `+` validates like any other,
  and every one of its scenario bullets was reported as unaccounted content, so
  that capability could not be retired at all. Regression added, verified to
  fail against the old marker set.
- The nine-digit cap changes no verdict in this design, since a line the
  pattern rejects is weighed by the same rules either way. It is here for the
  consistency, and the comment says so rather than claiming a fix. The case is
  pinned so a later change cannot start deleting such a note.

LIST_ITEM also no longer requires content after the marker, so an empty `- `
reads as the bullet it is instead of falling through to the leftovers, which is
what the surrounding indent tracking already assumed.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 8ba4ac1b16 fix(apply): warn when a change is ready to implement with no specs (#1783)
* fix(apply): warn when a change is ready to implement with no specs

Apply gates on the schema's `apply.requires` (tasks) alone, so a change
whose tasks file was written ahead of its specs read as ready even though
it had no delta specs at all — the state `openspec validate` rejects.
Apply was the one surface that green-lit a change every other surface
flags, which is how agents end up implementing before the specs exist.

Report it as a warning, in the text output and in `--json`, naming both
ways out: write the specs, or declare `skip_specs: true`. Blocking would
be a policy change; naming the gap is not. Changes that have specs,
declare `skip_specs`, or are still blocked on their own required
artifacts are unaffected.

* test(apply): cover custom schemas in the no-specs warning

A schema with no spec-producing artifact must stay quiet, and one whose
spec artifact is not called `specs` must still warn - the rule keys off
the output path, not the artifact id.

* test(apply): stop asserting an absolute temp path on Windows

os.tmpdir() hands back the short form (C:\Users\RUNNER~1) while the CLI
resolves the long one, so the assertion pinned a path that never matched
on windows-pwsh. Assert the change-relative tail instead.

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

* fix(apply): name the whole chain a blocked change still needs

Apply blocks on the schema's `apply.requires` alone, so its message
stopped at the first hop: a change holding only a proposal was told
"Missing artifacts: tasks" while the specs `tasks` depends on were
missing too. Taken literally that is an instruction to write the
tracking file straight from the proposal and skip everything between —
the failure reported in #834 and #869.

Walk `requires` and report the whole set, in build order, as
`missingPrerequisites` (text and `--json`). What apply blocks on is
unchanged, and the wording leaves conditional artifacts to the schema
rather than demanding them.

The remedies these messages give are now CLI commands rather than the
`openspec-continue-change` skill: `continue` is not in CORE_WORKFLOWS,
so on the default profile the old advice named a skill that is never
installed.

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

* fix(apply): name the schema's own spec artifact in the warning

alfred-openspec on #1783: collectApplyWarnings() discovers spec-producing
artifacts by output path, so it correctly fires for a schema whose artifact id
is `contracts`, but the remediation text then hardcoded
`openspec instructions specs`. That names an artifact such a schema does not
declare, so the advertised custom-schema support dead-ended at the exact step
meant to resolve the warning.

The command now derives its target from specArtifacts: the artifact's own id
when the schema declares one spec-producing artifact, and `<artifact-id>` as a
placeholder when it declares several, since there is no single right answer
there and a guess would read as an instruction.

The renamed-artifact test now asserts the command names `contracts` and
rejects the hardcoded `specs` spelling, and a new test pins the two-artifact
placeholder. Verified both fail against the hardcoded string.

* chore(changeset): bump apply warnings to minor

This adds `missingPrerequisites` and `warnings` to the documented
`instructions apply --json` contract in docs/agent-contract.md. New fields are
backward compatible, but they are new capability an agent can consume, which is
a minor under semver rather than a patch.

Taking the conservative direction deliberately: shipping new API surface as a
patch is the violation, since a consumer pinned to a patch range would receive
it without opting in. A minor costs nothing if the fields turn out to be
uninteresting.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 3c6d318b83 fix(init): name the workflows the profile left out (#1779)
* fix(init): name the workflows the profile left out

Setup output listed the workflows it installed but never mentioned the
ones it did not, so a user on the default core profile who typed
/opsx:ff saw nothing and read it as a broken install. The docs explain
profiles; nobody reads them before typing a command that should be
there.

init now closes with the missing workflows by name and the two commands
that add them. The note is skipped when nothing was generated at all,
where the existing delivery correction is the whole story, and when the
profile already installs everything.

Also adds a troubleshooting entry for the "only some /opsx: commands
show up" symptom, which the existing list did not cover.

* refactor(init): drop the redundant update step from the workflow note

`openspec config profile` offers to apply to the current project before

declines, so naming a second command was one step too many.

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

* docs(troubleshooting): match the profile steps to what the CLI does

`openspec config profile` applies to the current project itself, so
listing `openspec update` as a second required step was wrong; it is the
fallback for declining the prompt or for other projects.

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

* fix(update): name the workflows the profile left out

`openspec update` is what the troubleshooting checklist tells a user to
run when a command they read about never appeared, and it is what people
run after upgrading the CLI. Neither of its existing profile notes fires
on the default `core` profile, so that user reached "All tools up to
date" and still learned nothing about the six workflows they don't have.

The note is the fallback pointer: silent when the extra-workflow or
missing-core note already named `openspec config profile`, and when no
configured tool can receive a workflow surface under the active delivery.

Reading the two existing notes as one short-circuited `||` would have
swallowed whichever ran second; they are evaluated separately.

'openspec config profile' command that adds them, and the root README already
calls out the expanded set, so this entry was a third copy in a stale tree.

The docs-lab troubleshooting page is a heading-only skeleton held back from the
site, so there is nothing to move it to; this PR is now source and tests only.

* docs: close the three process gaps in CONTRIBUTING.md

alfred-openspec on #1781:

1. The OpenSpec-proposal rule was dropped from the README with nothing
   replacing it, recreating the gap in #1727. New step 2 carries the threshold
   over verbatim from the README (new features, significant refactors,
   architectural changes) plus the philosophy paragraph, says to open the
   proposal as its own PR and wait for approval, and tells anyone unsure to ask
   in the issue from step 1.

2. The discussion path contradicted itself: step 1 accepted a prior discussion
   while step 3 required 'Closes #123'. The PR step now says to link what you
   opened in step 1, 'Closes #123' for an issue or a link to the discussion
   when there is no issue. CodeRabbit's thread on README.md:227 is the same
   defect, so the README sentence says 'the issue or discussion' too.

3. The local setup was missing 'pnpm exec tsc --noEmit', which CI runs, and the
   README called the guide a development setup after 'pnpm run dev' and
   'dev:cli' were removed. The command is added, the guide states that those
   four commands are exactly what CI runs, and the README pointer now describes
   the guide as the full process rather than a setup.

Verified each documented command against this checkout: build, tsc --noEmit and
lint all pass as written.

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

* ci(flake): scope every hash rewrite to the pnpmDeps block

alfred-openspec on #1817: the workflow read is scoped now, but the script it
runs is not. update-flake.sh read CURRENT_HASH from the first hash assignment
anywhere in flake.nix, and all three in-place rewrites matched every hash
assignment. flake.nix holds one fixed-output derivation today, so that lands on
the right line by luck; add a second and the script stamps the placeholder over
both, reads back whichever mismatch Nix reported first, and writes pnpmDeps'
hash into the other derivation. Scoping only the workflow left that path
fragile, as the review says.

The address range is declared once as PNPM_DEPS_BLOCK and used by the read and
all three rewrites, so the scoping cannot drift between call sites.

Also guards the read: an unmatched block previously left CURRENT_HASH empty,
and the failure path would then restore hash = "". It now exits before
touching the file.

Verified against a three-derivation fixture with pnpmDeps in the middle, which
catches both shapes of the bug: the scoped read returns the pnpmDeps hash while
an unscoped read returns the first derivation's, the placeholder is written
once rather than three times, and the neighbouring hashes survive the restore.
That fixture is the new test, alongside a static check that no hash read or
rewrite in the script is missing the range. Verified the static check fails
when any one call site is unscoped.

* test(flake): run the scoping fixture on its own volume

The new test failed on windows-pwsh with 'sed: cannot rename ./sedKaAflu:
Invalid cross-device link'. sed -i writes its temp file in the working
directory and renames it over the target; on a GitHub Windows runner the repo
is on D: and os.tmpdir() is on C:, so that rename crosses volumes.

bash now runs with cwd set to the fixture directory and addresses the file by
name, which keeps the temp file and its rename on one volume. The assertions
are unchanged.

* fix(packaging): print the completions tip from the CLI, not a postinstall script

The package's only install script existed to print one line suggesting
`openspec completion install`. Shipping it made every `npm install -g`
emit an npm allow-scripts warning, and `npm approve-scripts` then failed
with ENOMATCH because it looks in the local project, not a global install
— so the warning looked like a packaging fault with no way to clear it.

The tip now prints once on the CLI's first run, recorded via a
`completionTipSeen` flag in the existing global config alongside the
telemetry notice's `noticeSeen`. It writes to stderr so it can never
contaminate piped stdout, and is suppressed under CI,
OPENSPEC_NO_COMPLETIONS=1, `--json` runs, and `openspec completion`
itself. The published package now ships no lifecycle scripts at all.

* fix(completions): stop the first-run tip from corrupting global config

Adversarial review of the previous commit found it wrote a defaults-merged
config: `saveGlobalConfig({ ...getGlobalConfig(), completionTipSeen: true })`
stamped `profile: "core"` into every user's config.json on first run.
`migrateIfNeeded` treats a raw `profile` as "already migrated", so the
one-time profile migration would never run again — and `openspec update`
then deleted the user's installed workflow skills. Reproduced: 2 skill
directories removed where main reports "Migrated: custom profile with 8
workflows". The same write also overwrote an unparsable config with
defaults and made `openspec config list` report defaults as explicit.

The tip now reads and writes the raw config file and touches only its own
key, leaving an unreadable config strictly alone.

Other hardening from the same review:

- Suppress the tip for the hidden `__complete` resolver. Generated
  completion scripts call it on every Tab press with stderr discarded, so
  the one-shot tip was consumed where nobody could see it.
- Defer, never consume, when stderr is not a terminal. Agents and pipes
  drive this CLI far more often than humans do and would otherwise spend
  the tip into a log nobody opens.
- Skip the tip when completions are already installed. Previously the CLI
  advertised `completion install` to users who had run it — including on
  the very next command after installing. Adds `isInstalled()` to the
  bash/fish/powershell installers, mirroring the zsh one.
- Use the repo's `isCiEnvironment()` instead of a `CI === 'true'` string
  check, so `CI=yes`/`True`/`on` are as quiet as telemetry is.
- Move the call to `postAction` so the tip trails the command's output
  instead of pushing errors and `init`'s setup summary down the screen.
- Record before printing, so an unwritable config dir means silence rather
  than nagging on every run.

Tests: assert the message literal (mutation testing showed the message text
was the one unguarded behavior), the raw-write shape, corrupt-config
safety, the already-installed path, the defer policy, and an e2e case
pinning the non-TTY contract.

Docs: SECURITY.md no longer claims zero lifecycle scripts — `prepare` is
still declared and runs for git/directory installs; the registry-install
claim is the accurate one. `OPENSPEC_NO_COMPLETIONS` is now documented.

* test(completions): make the unwritable-config case portable to Windows

fs.chmodSync(dir, 0o555) does not stop a write on Windows, so this test's
unwritable condition never existed there: markTipSeen succeeded, the tip
printed, and windows-pwsh was the only failing job.

Occupy the config directory's path with a file instead. mkdirSync with
recursive: true tolerates an existing directory but throws on an existing
file on every platform, so the persist fails where a real permission error
would - before anything is printed. Also asserts the path is still a file,
so a partial write through the failure would be caught.

* fix(completions): retire the first-run tip instead of advising a dead end

Second adversarial pass over the tip, covering the hardening commit itself.

- An undetected or unsupported shell now retires the tip quietly. It used
  to print, but `openspec completion install` exits 1 for exactly those
  users ("Shell 'tcsh' is not supported yet" / "Could not auto-detect
  shell"), so the one message they would ever get about completions sent
  them to a command that fails.
- `markTipSeen` re-reads the config immediately before writing and swaps
  the file in by rename. Deciding whether to show the tip costs a `ps`
  spawn plus a stat, and a sibling process writing config in that window
  got clobbered — on a first run that is exactly when telemetry mints
  `anonymousId`. Concurrent-process loss drops from 15/40 to ~2/40, and
  what now usually loses is the tip's own flag (it simply shows once
  more) rather than telemetry identity. The residual is the non-atomic
  read-modify-write shape shared with telemetry's own writer.
- `isInstalled()` uses stat().isFile(), so a directory at the install
  path no longer counts as an installed completion script.
- Documented what `isInstalled()` actually promises: the script file, not
  the profile sourcing line that bash and PowerShell also need. Callers
  deciding whether to *advertise* completions want the loose reading — a
  user whose profile config failed has already met the installer.
- Corrected a comment claiming the probe costs "one stat": detectShell()
  forks `ps` to read the parent process on every non-Windows run.

Tests: mutation testing found four surviving mutants — dropping
isCompletionRun from the defer policy, reverting isCiEnvironment to a
CI==='true' string check, failing closed on an undetected shell, and
neutering the non-object config guard (which lets a JSON array config be
rewritten as {"0":...}). All four now fail a test. Adds direct coverage
for the three new isInstalled() implementations, which had none.

* fix(validate): stop `change validate` exiting past commander's postAction

`change validate` on a failing change called process.exit(exitCode). That
tears down before commander's postAction hook, which is the same trap the
`update` command documents 165 lines earlier: "exiting here would skip
commander's postAction hook, killing the telemetry flush mid-request".

A change that fails validation is a routine outcome, not an error, so this
silently dropped the telemetry flush and — since the completions tip moved
to postAction — the first-run tip for anyone whose first command was a
failing validate. Verified under a pty: before, the tip never printed and
completionTipSeen was never recorded; after, both happen and the exit code
is still 1 (validate() already sets process.exitCode, which Node honours at
natural exit — top-level `validate --all` has always relied on exactly
that). The existing e2e in validate-scenario-loss.test.ts pins the exit
code.

Also wraps the postAction tip in try/finally so the telemetry flush runs
even if the hint throws: program.parse() is synchronous, so a rejection
there has no catch above it.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 5 9643888a75 fix(schema): resolve main-spec reads against the store-aware root (#1703)
* fix(schema): resolve main-spec reads against the store-aware root

The spec-driven `specs` instruction named
`openspec/specs/<capability-path>/spec.md` — a cwd-relative path — for the
two operations that touch a capability's main spec: step 1 of the MODIFIED
workflow ("locate the existing requirement") and the edit that fixes a
leftover TBD Purpose.

When the change lives in a registered store, the main spec is under the
store root. Verified against one: `openspec instructions specs --store
mystore --json` returns `planningHome.root` pointing at the store while the
instruction sent the read to the working repo, where the capability does
not exist. Where a local capability happens to share the name it is worse
than a miss — the read succeeds against a different capability and step 2
copies the wrong requirement block into the delta, silently.

Both now use `<planningHome.root>/openspec/specs/...`, the root the same
JSON already returns, matching what sync-specs.ts and archive-change.ts
have said since they were written: use the store-aware root, not a
hardcoded repo path.

Guidance text only — no CLI, parser, or archive behavior changes. The two
remaining `openspec/specs/` mentions describe the shape of a capability
path rather than a file operation, and are left alone.

Closes #1702

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

* fix(schema): make the store-aware root unconditional, and prove it resolves

Two hardening findings.

The wording said the root "points at the store when a store is selected."
Verified across all four root configurations, that undersells it: a project
`store:` pointer (source `declared`) and a global default store (source
`global_default`) both resolve to the store with no `--store` flag passed.
An agent reading the old sentence could conclude the case did not apply to
it and fall back to a repo-relative path. It now says to always use the
field and not to reason about which case applies.

The test only pinned the placeholder text, which would still pass if
`planningHome.root` were renamed or the suffix were wrong. Added a guard
that substitutes the placeholder with a real resolved planning home and
asserts the composed path lands on an actual main spec. Mutation-tested:
inserting a path segment and renaming the field each fail it.

Verified end to end that the composed path exists under all three
store-selecting configurations, and under a plain local repo.

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

* test: compose the main-spec path from segments, not string substitution

The guard substituted `planningHome.root` into a template spelled with
forward slashes. On Windows that yields a mixed-separator path, so the
assertion passed because Node accepts forward slashes there rather than
because the path was built correctly. Windows CI was green either way;
this makes the construction right instead of merely tolerated.

The suffix is now captured on its own and joined to the root with
path.join, so the assertion uses native separators everywhere. All three
mutations (cwd-relative path, extra segment, renamed field) still fail
the guard.

Addresses CodeRabbit review on #1703.

Clay Good 18688c8b27 fix(archive): never dead-end a capability retirement (#1699)
* fix(archive): never dead-end a capability retirement

A change whose delta removes the last requirement a capability has
rebuilds the main spec empty, which can never validate. Archive already
knows retiring is the fix and names the `retire_capabilities: true`
marker that authorises deleting the spec - but only when the marker is
the single thing missing.

If the spec also holds a line the merge cannot account for (a `## Notes`
section, a comment under a requirement - both ordinary), that hint was
suppressed, and the hint that names such lines only spoke to authors who
had already set the marker. Neither fired, so the archive aborted on
"Spec must have at least one requirement" with no guidance at all: the
exact dead end the marker exists to close.

Archive now names the blocking content in that case. It deliberately
does not name the marker there - adding it would not have let this run
through, and the marker is only ever named when it really is the one
thing missing. Once the content is resolved, the rerun names the marker.

Closes #1696

* fix(archive): harden the blocked-retirement abort

Three follow-ups to the same message.

The blocking lines are authored spec content printed verbatim to a
terminal, so they now get the treatment `describeChangeName` already
gives a change directory name: control characters replaced, since a raw
CR could forge a line of its own and an ESC could redraw the screen.
Each line is bounded too - one very long line would push the way out of
the abort off the reader's screen - and the cut counts code points so it
can never leave half a surrogate pair. Both the declared and undeclared
branches share the helper, so the marker-declared abort that shipped
with #1484 is hardened with it.

The wording no longer claims retiring is "the way through". It is not,
in the one case this fires on that has a live requirement hiding in a
second `## Requirements` section: merging the sections fixes that spec
without deleting anything.

`openspec/specs/cli-archive/spec.md` records the behavior change - the
blocking lines are named whether or not the marker was declared, and the
marker is still named only when adding it would let the archive through.

* refactor(archive): drop a helper the revised wording made single-use

The marker sentence is said in one place again, so it goes back inline
rather than through a function that now has one caller. Also corrects
the comment above `emptiedByThisRun`: retiring is not the only fix in
every case it covers, which is exactly why the message stopped saying so.

* docs(openspec): record the change as a delta, not a direct spec edit

Both conventions exist in this repo's history, but the two most recent
behavior fixes (#1609, #1616) carry an `openspec/changes/` delta rather
than editing the main spec in place, which is also the workflow this
project asks of everyone else.

The delta reproduces the whole Capability Retirement requirement, so
archiving it drops no scenario. Verified by archiving into a scratch
copy of `openspec/`: the merged main spec differs from today's by
exactly the three added bullets.

* fix(archive): report an unhonorable marker alongside the blocking content

An author who set `retire_capabilities: yes-please` believes they have
authorised the deletion. Clearing the blocking content first, only to
then learn the marker was never read, is two aborts for one mistake.

The abort still never invites the marker to be added while content
blocks the retirement - it only reports the one already there. The spec
delta records that distinction, which the old bullet ("say nothing about
the marker") did not draw.

* style(archive): use one sentence for an unhonorable marker in both aborts

* fix(metadata): strip control characters from an unhonorable marker reason

Every reason a boolean change-metadata marker gives quotes something the
author wrote - a schema name, a parser message carrying one, a
filesystem error carrying a path - and two commands print it straight to
a terminal. A schema name carrying a raw ESC, with the marker set, put
that ESC on screen through `openspec archive`; `openspec validate`
prints the same reason.

Fixed at the source in `readBooleanMarker` rather than at either call
site, so no consumer has to remember. The reason still quotes the name
recognisably; only control characters are replaced.

Reported by CodeRabbit on #1699. Pre-existing on main, and this PR would
have added a second place it reaches the terminal.

8127c7b7cc fix(schema): preserve YAML formatting when forking a schema (#1607)
* fix(schema): preserve YAML formatting when forking a schema

Rename a forked schema via yaml's Document API (parseDocument + doc.set)
instead of round-tripping through parseSchema/stringifyYaml, so block
scalars, comments, and key order in the source schema.yaml survive the
fork. Keep the structural parseSchema validation before the document
mutation so an invalid source is still rejected (addresses PR #1130
review). Adds fork-level regression coverage for both formatting
preservation and invalid-source rejection.

* harden(schema): clean up partial fork when validation fails

If the source schema is structurally invalid, parseSchema throws after
copyDirRecursive has already created the destination directory, leaving
a broken half-schema on disk that made the next fork report "already
exists". Wrap the read/validate/rename in a try/catch that removes the
just-created destination on any failure and rethrows so the original
error still drives the JSON/exit-code reporting. The cleanup can only
ever delete a directory this run created: the no-force existing-dest
path returns before the copy, and the --force path removes the prior
directory first. This also closes a mid-write truncation window for free.

Adds regression coverage: cleanup + retryability on invalid source, the
pre-existing-destination-is-never-touched invariant, and a lock-in that
YAML-ambiguous names (true/false/null/off) round-trip as strings.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* harden(schema): validate fork source up front; never mask fork errors

Second hardening pass on the fork command, from an adversarial review of
the previously-added cleanup.

1. Atomicity: validate the source's schema.yaml up front, immediately
   after assertSchemaTreeCanBeCopied and BEFORE the --force removal of an
   existing destination. Previously the source was validated only after
   the copy, so `fork --force <invalid-source> <existing-valid-dest>`
   destroyed the existing destination and then failed, leaving nothing.
   This matches `schema init`, which already validates before it
   overwrites. Behavior is unchanged for valid sources, and the redundant
   post-copy validation is dropped.

2. Never mask the real error: the failure-cleanup rmSync is now wrapped
   in its own try/catch. fs.rmSync's `force` only suppresses ENOENT, not
   EPERM/EBUSY/ENOTEMPTY (e.g. a locked file on Windows or a concurrent
   process), so a failed cleanup could previously replace the real
   "Invalid schema" diagnostic with a confusing filesystem error. The
   original error is now always rethrown.

Adds regression coverage: --force with an invalid source leaves a valid
destination intact; the pre-existing-destination test now uses a valid
source so it exercises the no-force "already exists" guard directly.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* harden(schema): reject self-fork and stage fork before replacing destination

Two data-loss defects in `schema fork --force` (per alfred-openspec review):

1. Self-fork: forking a schema onto itself removed the destination (which IS
   the source) before the copy, so the copy then read a directory it had just
   deleted — destroying the only copy. Now rejected up front by comparing the
   real (symlink-resolved) source and destination paths before any removal.

2. Non-atomic replacement: an existing destination was removed before the new
   fork was fully copied and name-updated, so a mid-copy failure left the user
   with nothing. The fork is now staged in a temporary sibling directory and
   only swapped into place once complete; any failure while staging leaves both
   the source and the existing destination untouched.

Adds regressions: self-fork is rejected with the source intact; a forced fork
whose copy fails leaves the existing destination byte-identical with no staging
leftovers.

* harden(schema): back up destination before installing fork so a failed final move restores

The stage-then-swap still removed the destination and then renamed staging into
place; if that final rename failed (e.g. a Windows lock) the destination was gone
with no restore. Now, when a destination exists, `fork --force` moves it to a
sibling backup, installs the staged fork, and only then discards the backup. If
the install rename throws, the backup is moved back so the original destination
is never lost. Non-existing destinations keep the simple staging rename.

Adds a regression: forcing the final staging->destination move to fail leaves the
pre-existing destination byte-identical with no staging/backup leftovers.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* harden(schema): surface unrecoverable fork restore + hide fork temp dirs from discovery

Two more edge cases from alfred's review:

1. A failed backup->destination restore was silently swallowed, so if the final
   install AND the restore both failed the user lost the destination with no clue
   the backup existed. Now that case throws an error naming the backup directory
   and how to move it back, with the original install error attached as cause.

2. The transient `.fork-staging-*` / `<name>.fork-backup-*` directories live
   inside the schemas dir, so a concurrent scan could surface them as real
   schemas. isSchemaDir (the single discovery chokepoint) now excludes them;
   real schema names are kebab-case (no dots) so this can never hide a schema.

Adds regressions: an unrecoverable restore surfaces the backup path (and the
rescued content is really there); fork temp dirs are excluded from listSchemas
and listSchemasWithInfo.

* harden(schema): fingerprint fork destination to abort on concurrent edits

A concurrent process could edit an existing fork destination between the moment
--force authorized the overwrite and the moment the destructive swap ran, and
those edits were silently destroyed (reproduced by alfred: mutate destination
schema.yaml during copy; --force completed and deleted the newer content).

Now, when overwriting an existing destination, the fork:
- fingerprints the authorized destination (SHA-256 over every file's relative
  path and bytes) BEFORE staging;
- re-fingerprints and compares immediately before moving the destination aside;
  on mismatch it ABORTS without touching the destination, preserving the
  concurrent changes and telling the user to re-run;
- re-fingerprints the backup before discarding it on the success path; if it
  changed during the install window it is kept, not deleted, and its location is
  surfaced.

All prior guarantees remain: self-fork rejection, stage-then-swap, backup/restore
on failed install with the backup path surfaced, and the temp-dir discovery
filter.

Adds regressions: a destination edited concurrently during staging aborts the
fork and preserves the edit; a backup modified during the install window is kept
and its location surfaced.

* fix(schema): avoid stat-then-read in fork fingerprint (CodeQL js/file-system-race)

fingerprintDir called fs.lstatSync then fs.readFileSync on the same path,
which CodeQL flags as a file-system race (the file may change between the
check and the read). Use the Dirent type already returned by readdirSync
({ withFileTypes: true }) instead of a separate lstat, and read files
directly, deriving the size from the bytes read. Behavior is unchanged
(13/13 fork-fidelity tests, incl. the concurrent-edit race regressions,
still pass); one fewer syscall per entry.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* harden(schema): validate the completed staged fork before any destructive step

The up-front parseSchema only checks the SOURCE, but copyDirRecursive reads
source files that can change mid-copy, so the staged result can be invalid even
though the source was valid at the pre-check (reproduced by alfred: mutate source
schema.yaml to invalid inside copyFileSync; --force installed the invalid fork
and deleted the valid destination).

Now, after copying and the Document-API name edit, the fork validates the
COMPLETED staged schema.yaml (the exact bytes about to be installed) with
parseSchema BEFORE any destination displacement. On failure it aborts, cleans up
staging, and rethrows a clear error ("the staged fork of '<source>' is not a
valid schema ...; aborted, '<dest>' was not modified") chaining the parse error.
The up-front source parseSchema stays as a fail-fast; this is the authoritative
gate. Order before the swap: validate staged -> fingerprint-revalidate dest ->
rename dest->backup -> rename staging->dest -> revalidate+rm backup.

Adds a regression: a source that becomes structurally invalid during staging
aborts the fork and leaves the valid destination byte-identical, no leftovers.

  Root tree carried js-yaml 3.15.0 (via read-yaml-file) and 4.3.0 (via

  `yaml`, not `js-yaml`. Pinned to >=3.15.1 / >=4.3.1.
- GHSA-2v37-7h3g-55p8 / CVE-2026-67213 — nanoid size=0 infinite loop (#99).
  Present in both root (dev, via postcss<-vitest) and website (build-time,
  via postcss<-next) trees. Pinned to >=3.3.17 (resolves to 3.3.18).

Overrides added to all four override surfaces (pnpm-workspace.yaml +
package.json, root and website) to keep them in sync, each YAML entry
annotated with its advisory id and removal condition.

flake.nix pnpmDeps FOD hash regenerated for the root lockfile change
(verified via nix build; hash-mismatch-count 0). dependabot.yml gains a
note documenting the two surfaces Dependabot cannot manage (pnpm

Bumped:
- fumadocs-mdx  ^15.2.1 -> ^15.2.2 (resolves 15.2.3; builds cleanly)

- postcss       ^8.5.25 -> ^8.5.26 (override ^8.5.22 governs resolution)

Held (defer to a dedicated migration PR):
- fumadocs-core ^16.12.1 (16.14 replaces Orama with ZBSearch)
- fumadocs-ui   ^16.12.1 (pairs with core)

fumadocs-mdx 15.2.3 does NOT pull core 16.14 transitively; type-check

so the importer resolved 8.5.25 and the declared bump had no effect. Raise
the override (website/pnpm-workspace.yaml + website/package.json pnpm.overrides)
to ^8.5.26 and re-lock so postcss resolves 8.5.26 everywhere.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 4.8 207f3cc515 fix(config): label the update workflow in the picker; drop "expanded-profile" wording (#1632)
* fix(config): label the update workflow in the picker and drop "expanded-profile" wording

The config workflow picker builds each row's label from WORKFLOW_PROMPT_META
in src/commands/config.ts. The table had entries for 11 of the 12 workflows
but not `update`, so `openspec config` rendered that row as the raw id
`update` with a `Workflow: update` placeholder description. Since `update` is
one of the six core workflows, every user who opens the picker saw it.

Add the missing `update` entry so the row reads "Update change / Revise the
planning artifacts of an existing change".

Also reword the update-change workflow template, which called `/opsx:continue`
and `/opsx:new` "expanded-profile" workflows. There is no "expanded" profile;
the only profile values the product stores are `core` and `custom`. They are
now described as "optional" workflows. Regenerated the committed skills.sh
mirror and parity hashes accordingly.

Harden with a regression test asserting every ALL_WORKFLOWS id has real picker
metadata (no raw-id name, no "Workflow:" placeholder), so a future workflow
addition can't silently reintroduce the fallback.

Closes #1627

existing package.json semver ranges (eslint 10.8.0 -> 10.8.1, typescript-eslint
8.65.0 -> 8.66.0), touching only pnpm-lock.yaml. That lockfile change
invalidates the flake's fixed-output pnpmDeps.hash, so #1630 fails Nix Flake

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 4.8 804427b6ff fix(telemetry): suppress first-run notice in --json mode (#1609)
* fix(telemetry): suppress first-run notice in --json mode

The first-run telemetry disclosure notice was written to stdout from the
global preAction hook. On a user's first-ever command with --json this
polluted stdout and could break JSON parsers. Read the executing command's
--json flag (actionCommand.opts().json) and, when set, skip the notice and
leave noticeSeen unset so the disclosure is deferred to the first later
non-JSON run rather than lost.

Spinner suppression, new-change --json output, and structured JSON errors
already landed on main (#960, #1190); this closes the one remaining stdout
writer in --json mode.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* harden: detect --json from argv to cover all invocation forms

The preAction guard read actionCommand.opts().json, which only sees a
declared leaf option. That missed two supported --json forms that emit a
single JSON document to stdout:
  - openspec store --json  (permissive group reads --json from residual args;
    never declares the option, so opts().json is undefined)
  - openspec workset --json <sub>  (--json on the parent group, consumed
    before the leaf; leaf opts().json is undefined)
Both would still print the first-run telemetry notice ahead of their JSON.

Detect --json from process.argv instead: it covers leaf, parent, and
residual-arg forms uniformly. Suppressing is always safe (the disclosure
defers to the next non-JSON run, never lost), so a broad argv check is the
correct, conservative signal.

Also add a direct assertion that noticeSeen stays unset after a silent run,
and note the pre-existing raw-stdout commands (completion generate, config
get/path, __complete) as out of scope.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: derive --json from parsed command state + regression test

Replace the process.argv check with isJsonRun(command), an exported pure
helper that reads Commander's parsed state: optsWithGlobals().json (leaf and
parent-group forms) OR command.args (residual --json on permissive bare
groups like store). This is tied to the actually-parsed command rather than
raw args, and — unlike process.argv — is unit-testable in-process.

Add test/core/cli-is-json-run.test.ts: a synthetic program reproducing all
three registration patterns proves isJsonRun returns true for status --json,
store --json, workset --json list, and workset list --json, and false
otherwise. This locks in the store/workset coverage against future
regressions (an e2e test can't: telemetry is disabled under CI, so the notice
never fires there).

* docs(spec): qualify first-command notice scenario as non-JSON

The generic 'First command execution' scenario asserted the notice
displays on every first command, contradicting the JSON scenario that

behavior is unambiguous.

Reconstructed on current main (the original branch predated the Codex
.agents rename, Command Code, Rovo Dev, Antigravity, Zoo Code, and the
Kimi/Windsurf changes, so a direct rebase conflicted heavily in
config.ts/init.ts/init.test.ts).

Adds requiresIdeRestart to AIToolOption and gates the success-screen

- Changed description from 'Sync delta specs to main' to 'Merge delta specs into main specs'

- Added detailed Usage section for /opsx:sync command

- Now consistent with commands.md and migration-guide.md

- Improves documentation completeness and clarity

* docs(opsx): harden Sync delta specs section for accuracy and house style

Fold the /opsx:sync usage entry into a single prose paragraph to match
the six sibling Usage sections (heading -> fence -> paragraph), and fix
two accuracy issues found against src/core/templates/workflows/sync-specs.ts:

- Drop the invented "changes see each other's specs" and "test
  integration" use cases (no cross-change propagation or test step exists).
- State that sync applies the whole delta -- a REMOVED requirement is
  deleted from the main spec and a RENAMED one retitled -- so the section
  no longer reads as additive-only.
- Use the file's spaced em-dash convention.

Docs-site build verified: sync-docs + fumadocs next build compile and
render /docs/opsx end-to-end.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 4.8 c751b3da52 fix(validate): count every level-4 header as a scenario in the loss guard (#1521)
* fix(validate): count every level-4 header as a scenario in the loss guard

The scenario-loss guard (#1482) recognized only `#### Scenario:` headers, but
the spec path (SCENARIO_HEADER / countScenarios) counts every `#### ` child of
a requirement as a scenario. A MODIFIED block that dropped a differently-labeled
level-4 child (e.g. `#### Edge case`) therefore passed validate and was silently
deleted by archive. Align parseScenarioBlocks with the spec path so both agree.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(validate): guard scenario-header parity; reuse SCENARIO_HEADER

Harden the scenario-loss parity fix after a multi-agent review:
- Export SCENARIO_HEADER from requirement-text.ts and reuse it in the delta
  path (scenarioHeaderAt/scenarioNameAt) so parity is guaranteed by
  construction, not two matching literals plus a comment.
- Add boundary tests for the widened matcher: a level-5 (#####) header must
  not count, an unlabeled #### inside a fence must not count, an optional
  Scenario: label normalizes (relabel is not a loss), and unlabeled scenarios
  are counted by multiplicity. Plus an integration case: a dropped labeled
  scenario is caught even when an unlabeled sibling is kept (validate/archive
  parity, both directions).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(validate): harden scenario-name folding + incoming-fence parity

Adversarial review of the scenario-loss guard surfaced one over-strict nit
and one untested symmetry:

- scenarioNameAt now also strips a CommonMark closing `#` run, so `#### Foo`
  and `#### Foo ####` fold to the same scenario name. Without this, relabeling
  a scenario's header on one side (ATX-open vs ATX-closed) read as a dropped
  scenario — a false-abort. Safe direction only: a genuine drop still lowers a
  folded name's count and is caught.
- Add unit tests for the untested incoming-side fence mask (a fenced `####` in
  the MODIFIED block must not satisfy a real scenario), lowercase `scenario:`
  label normalization, and the ATX-closed header fold.

Behavior for conventional `#### Scenario:` headers is unchanged; parser,
validation, and archive suites stay green (269 tests).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(validate): match CommonMark whitespace in ATX-close strip; changeset nit

Second adversarial-review round follow-ups:

- scenarioNameAt's ATX-closing-sequence strip now matches only a space/tab
  before the trailing `#` run (`[ \t]` not `\s`), exactly as CommonMark defines
  a closing sequence. A looser `\s` could strip a `#` run after an exotic space
  (e.g. NBSP) that CommonMark keeps rendered, folding two distinct scenario
  names into one and masking a real loss. Correct-direction hardening for a
  data-loss guard; no behavior change for real space/tab-authored headers.
- Changeset: describe the header whitespace outside the code span to satisfy
  markdownlint MD038 (no trailing space inside `#### `). Resolves CodeRabbit.

Parser/validation/archive suites green (243 tests).

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 4.8 07dea6ed2f fix(update): don't hijack the agents target on legacy Codex upgrade (#1522)
* fix(update): don't hijack the agents target on legacy Codex upgrade

Codex and the vendor-neutral `agents` target share `.agents/skills`. In
upgradeLegacyTools, a Codex install inferred only from global ~/.codex/prompts
wrote Codex skills into `.agents` and flipped the ownership marker
agents -> codex, silently rewriting an existing agents-owned tree. The main
generation path reconciles shared-target ownership first; this legacy-upgrade
path did not. Add sharedSkillRootOwnedByOther() and skip generation when a
different tool already owns the shared root (marker or existing tree), while
still allowing a genuine first-time Codex upgrade with no `.agents` yet.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(update): cover the hijack guard end-to-end; name the owner on skip

Harden the agents-target ownership fix after a multi-agent review:
- Add an integration test that runs the real update flow for the bug
  scenario (agents-owned .agents + a legacy global Codex prompt) and asserts
  the marker stays `agents` and skills keep generic `/openspec-` syntax. A
  unit test of the predicate can't catch a future refactor that stops calling
  it; this can.
- Name the owning tool in the skip message ("...managed by another tool
  (Shared .agents skills)") via a new sharedSkillRootOwner() helper that
  sharedSkillRootOwnedByOther now delegates to.
- Add a unit case for the ambiguous-tree branch (existing skills, no marker,
  no inferable syntax) and one asserting sharedSkillRootOwner names agents.
- Document the known, harmless re-offer tradeoff (a skipped tool isn't
  recorded as configured, so a persistent legacy prompt re-offers it).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(update): preserve skipped tool's legacy files; add upgrade-path tests

Adversarial review of the shared-root ownership guard surfaced one real
integration defect and the review asks from alfred/CodeRabbit.

Defect: when the guard skips a legacy Codex upgrade because the `.agents`
root is owned by another tool, the caller's immediate legacy cleanup still
deleted Codex's repo-local `.codex/prompts/openspec-*.md`. That violates the
cleanup contract (remove X only because replacement Y was written): no
replacement is written for a skipped tool, so its legacy files must stay.

`upgradeLegacyTools` now reports `skippedSharedSkillTools`, and
`performImmediateLegacyCleanup` exempts those tools' repo-local artifacts via
a new `omitToolLegacyArtifacts` helper. Refactored the per-artifact tool
matching out of `getToolsFromLegacyArtifacts` so both share one matcher.

Tests (addressing the review + the defect):
- update.test.ts: hijack test now asserts Codex is absent from the persisted
  configured-tool set and that the skip names the established owner.
- update.test.ts: inverse no-root case proves a first-time Codex upgrade still
  writes the `codex` marker via the real UpdateCommand path.
- update.test.ts: a skipped tool's repo-local `.codex/prompts` is preserved.
- legacy-cleanup.test.ts: unit coverage for omitToolLegacyArtifacts.
- shared-skill-target.test.ts: assert sharedSkillRootOwner resolves 'agents'.

Docs + changeset updated to describe the preserve-on-skip behavior.

* test(update): lock in legacy-prompt preservation on skipped Codex upgrade

Address the outstanding CodeRabbit review notes on #1522. The fix itself
is confirmed correct by three independent adversarial reviews — these are
test-only hardening that locks in the guarantees the fix promises:

- Assert the global ~/.codex/prompts survives (byte-for-byte) in the
  hijack scenario. Previously the test set the prompt up but never
  checked it was preserved; on unfixed code Codex would be generated,
  its 'explore' workflow would read as installed, and the deferred
  global cleanup would delete the prompt — so this assertion fails
  without the fix.
- Assert the repo-local .codex/prompts is preserved by content, not
  mere existence (distinguishes 'left untouched' from 'deleted+rewritten').
- Restore the stdout/stderr spies in a finally so a throw can't swallow
  output for the rest of the suite.
- Cover backslash-delimited (Windows) paths in omitToolLegacyArtifacts.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 4.8 bf5099e39f fix(apply): surface deferred scope instead of silently simplifying tasks (#1530)
* fix(apply): surface deferred scope instead of silently simplifying tasks

The /opsx:apply guidance told agents to keep going through tasks but never
told them what to do when a task turned out harder than the spec assumed.
Agents absorbed the extra scope silently — narrowing, deferring, or
declaring partial work done — and marked the task complete anyway (#1529).

Add a pause trigger and two guardrails to the shared apply instructions
(rendered identically by the skill and command surfaces): surface the added
scope and ask rather than simplify to fit, and mark a task complete only
when it is fully implemented as specified. Regenerate the static skill and
parity-hash pins. Guidance text only — no behavioral code paths change.

Fixes #1529

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(apply): anchor deferred-scope guidance to spec scope, not effort

Adversarial review flagged that "more complex than the spec assumed" could
be read as "takes more effort than I guessed," which would make an agent
pause on nearly every task. Retie the pause trigger and guardrail to a
change in scope — work beyond what the spec/tasks describe, or dropping /
narrowing / deferring specified behavior — so normal implementation effort
does not trip it. Regenerate the static skill and parity pins; update the
regression test and changeset to match.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(apply): name the "accept exceptions" pattern in deferred-scope guidance

Issue #1529's concrete example is an agent that found three exceptions to a
"zero writes on the main thread" task, declared them "accepted," and moved
on. Add "accept exceptions to" to the pause trigger's verb list so the
guidance names that exact failure mode, not just drop/narrow/defer. Behavior
is otherwise unchanged; regenerate the static skill and parity pins.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(apply): assert the deferred-scope guidance requires pausing

CodeRabbit noted the guardrail test checked that added scope is surfaced but
not that the agent pauses, so it could pass if the workflow reported scope and
kept going. Assert the exact "surface the added scope and pause" phrasing.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 4.8 9ae75c86ef fix(archive): don't write ANSI escape codes to a redirected (non-TTY) stdout (#1603)
* fix(archive): stop non-TTY confirm prompts from writing ANSI escapes to stdout

`openspec archive` asks up to three yes/no questions through @inquirer's
`confirm`, which renders by writing ANSI cursor-movement escape sequences —
and emits them even when stdout is not a TTY. When archive runs with its
output captured to a file or pipe (an agent's background task, CI), those
escapes are noise, and in some non-TTY hosts the render loop never settles
and repeats `ESC[NNG` moves until the disk fills (reporter hit 19.8 GB).

Add `confirmPrompt` in interactive.ts: a real terminal (stdin AND stdout
TTY) still gets @inquirer's rich prompt; every other case reads one plain
line via node:readline with `terminal:false`, emitting no escapes. Parsing
mirrors @inquirer/confirm exactly (prefix match on y/yes and n/no, else the
default), and an unreadable stdin rejects with an ExitPromptError-shaped
error so the existing #1479 "rerun with --yes" guidance is unchanged.
archive's confirmOrBlock now calls confirmPrompt.

Closes #1526

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(interactive): cover Windows CRLF and drained-stdin paths; doc note

Adds two regression tests surfaced by adversarial review of the #1526 fix:
- Windows CRLF piped input (`y\r\n`) parses as a clean yes with no ANSI —
  the reporter's platform, previously untested (all inputs used `\n`).
- A second prompt after stdin was already drained blocks with an
  ExitPromptError instead of hanging, exercising the readableEnded guard.

Also documents in troubleshooting.md that a redirected/agent archive run
that pipes an answer no longer writes terminal escape codes into the capture.

Refs #1526

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(interactive): align non-interactive classification and handle readline errors

Addresses two review findings on the #1526 confirm-prompt fix:

- confirmPrompt drops to the plain reader whenever either stream is not a
  TTY, but isNonInteractivePromptError only checked stdin. A stdin-TTY /
  stdout-redirected run that hit EOF leaked the raw ExitPromptError instead
  of the #1479 "rerun with --yes" guidance. Classification now also counts a
  redirected stdout, matching how the prompt mode is chosen. (isInteractive,
  used broadly elsewhere, is left untouched.)

- readYesNo never listened for the readline/input 'error' event, so a stdin
  error would hang the promise (and go unhandled). It now settles with the
  underlying fault, guarded so the promise resolves or rejects exactly once.

Tests: TTY-stdin/redirected-stdout EOF is classified non-interactive; an
erroring input stream rejects instead of hanging; the archive usable-terminal
test now models a full terminal (both streams TTY).

Refs #1526

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(archive): gate the change picker on a TTY and tidy the reader

Follow-ups from a second review round:

- selectChange (the no-argument change picker) called @inquirer's `select`
  unconditionally. `select` writes ANSI escapes to stdout even when redirected
  — the same #1526 mechanism the confirm prompts were fixed for — so
  `openspec archive > log.txt` with no change name still spewed cursor moves
  into the capture before blocking. Refuse before rendering when either stream
  is not a TTY, with the same "pass a change name / --yes" guidance the caught
  ExitPromptError already gives. A new test asserts the picker is never
  reached in a non-terminal run.

- readYesNo now removes its input-stream 'error' listener on every settle path
  (it lives on the long-lived process.stdin) and closes the readline interface
  on error too, so nothing accumulates across archive's sequential prompts.

- troubleshooting.md now notes the picker also stays clean.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 4.8 83be9d113e feat(validate): add --archived to lint task completion of archived changes (#1604)
* feat(validate): add --archived to lint task completion of archived changes

`openspec validate --archived` scans every change under changes/archive/
and fails (exit 1) if any has unchecked tasks in tasks.md. This catches
changes archived with unfinished work — which the normal validate flow
never sees, since it only looks at active changes — and is meant for a
pre-commit or CI hook.

It is a standalone, opt-in scope: it returns before any existing bulk
path, so no current `validate` invocation changes behavior, and it does
not re-validate already-applied spec deltas. Reuses getTaskProgressForChange
(the same counter status/list/archive use) so task counting never forks,
and reads root.archiveDir so it is store-aware.

Closes #205

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(validate): fail loudly on archive read errors and unreadable task files

Address adversarial + CodeRabbit review of `validate --archived`:

- listArchivedChangeIds now returns [] only for ENOENT (missing archive
  dir) and rethrows permission/I/O/ENOTDIR errors, so a real archive-read
  failure exits 1 instead of silently reading as "no archived changes".
- Add getTaskProgressDetailForChange, which reports task files that exist
  but cannot be read; --archived turns those into an ERROR (naming the
  file) rather than silently counting them as zero tasks. The shared
  getTaskProgressForChange now wraps it and drops the detail, so
  status/list/archive totals are byte-identical.
- Start the spinner after listing so a thrown listing error never leaves
  a spinner running.

Adds regression tests (archive path is a file; archived tasks.md is
unreadable) and unit tests for the new detail variant. Docs: align the
--archived table verb and add a troubleshooting one-liner.

* test(validate): address CodeRabbit nits on archived-task tests

- Build the unreadable-fixture path from separate path.join components

  realpathSync.native), not just the count, so a wrong path can't pass.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(validate): address round-3 review of --archived

From three fresh adversarial reviews (scale/perf, flag/output-shape,
filesystem/security):

- perf: memoize schema→glob resolution across archived changes via a
  run-scoped SchemaGlobCache, so the same schema.yaml isn't re-parsed
  once per change (the archive is append-only and can hold thousands).
  Threaded as an optional arg; existing callers are unchanged. Loop stays
  sequential by design (per-change work is synchronous) — now documented.
- output shape: issue `path` now follows validate's convention —
  'tasks.md' for incomplete tasks, and the POSIX root-relative file path
  for an unreadable file (one issue per file) instead of the bare 'tasks'.
- plain output: print `change/<id>` (matching the JSON `type` and bulk
  validation) instead of `archived/<id>`.
- docs: correct the "Never throws" docstrings (glob resolution can throw
  on a malformed/unsafe schema; the caller guards it) and note the
  load-bearing projectRoot override for the archive path depth.

Store-mode resolution confirmed correct by review. Tests updated + a memo
regression test added.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 4.8 59c16a4461 feat(tools): add Command Code command adapter for /opsx-* commands (#1622)
* feat(tools): add Command Code command adapter for /opsx-* commands

Command Code documents custom slash commands under
`.commandcode/commands/`, where the command name is the markdown
filename without its `.md` extension (see
https://commandcode.ai/docs/reference/slash-commands). That is the same
flat naming Cursor and OpenCode use, so a standard flat adapter writing
`.commandcode/commands/opsx-<id>.md` registers `/opsx-<id>`.

Registering the adapter flips Command Code from `none` to
`adapter-backed`, so with the default `both` delivery `openspec init`
now generates OpenSpec commands alongside the skills it already installs
under `.commandcode/skills/`.

Builds on #1613, which registered Command Code as a skills-only tool.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tools): preserve Command Code command arguments

* test(command-code): cover commands-only delivery and openspec update

Addresses review: prove the Command Code adapter survives both the
commands-only init path and the update path, not just default delivery.

- init: delivery=commands generates .commandcode/commands/opsx-explore.md
  and installs no skills.
- update: a detected .commandcode install regenerates the flat
  opsx-<id>.md command (plain Markdown, $ARGUMENTS injected).

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 4.8 568e56c672 chore(release): add catch-up changeset for Rovo, Codex dir, status (#1518)
* chore(release): add catch-up changeset for Rovo, Codex dir, status

Cover three user-facing PRs that merged without changesets so they
appear in the v1.8.0 CHANGELOG:

- #1516 Atlassian Rovo Dev CLI (new tool)
- #1511 Codex skills move to shared .agents directory
- #1505 openspec status separates planning from implementation

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore(release): correct isPlanningComplete wording in changeset

Skipped planning artifacts count as satisfied without being written; say
"every non-skipped planning artifact exists" to match the CLI and
agent-contract docs (alfred/CodeRabbit review).

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 4.8 73207a6f2c feat(copilot): make cloud coding-agent files opt-in (#1517)
* feat(copilot): make cloud coding-agent files opt-in

Selecting the `github-copilot` tool auto-generated a GitHub Actions
workflow (.github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml) plus an agent file.
Writing into a user's CI on init/update is invasive, benefits only the
narrow set of Copilot *cloud* coding-agent users, and couples us to
GitHub's externally-owned custom-agent format.

Cloud files are now opt-in:
- `openspec init` prompts before generating them (default No) and records
  the choice in openspec/config.yaml (`githubCopilot.cloudAgent`).
- `--copilot-cloud` / `--no-copilot-cloud` decide non-interactively.
- `openspec update` never prompts; it only refreshes files for projects
  that opted in, or that already have generated cloud files (so existing
  setups keep working — the migration path).

The pre-existing content-matching guarantees are unchanged and now proven
by regression tests: a user-customized cloud file is never overwritten or
deleted. Opt-in state is persisted via the YAML document model so the
user's hand-authored config comments and formatting survive untouched.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(copilot): polish the cloud opt-in — safety, UX, and docs

Follow-up hardening driven by a five-agent review swarm over the opt-in.

Correctness:
- persistCopilotCloudOptIn no longer throws on a scalar/`null` config file
  (reproduced crash); it starts a fresh map while preserving comment-only
  and empty files.
- Explicit opt-out (`--no-copilot-cloud` / `cloudAgent: false`) now removes
  OpenSpec-managed cloud files on both init and update, instead of orphaning
  them. Customized files are still never touched.
- `--copilot-cloud` / `--no-copilot-cloud` warns when github-copilot isn't
  among the selected tools, instead of silently no-opping.

UX / discoverability:
- init prints whether cloud files were written or, when skipped for want of
  a signal, how to enable them (`--copilot-cloud`).
- When the user opts in but already has their own copilot-setup-steps.yml or
  agent file, init/update say it was left untouched and that the OpenSpec
  install step must be added by hand — the direct answer to "will this affect
  my existing Copilot cloud agent?".
- Clearer interactive prompt (names both files; distinguishes the GitHub-hosted
  cloud agent from Copilot in the editor); a dim, interactive-only, decision-
  gated hint on `openspec update`; tightened flag help text.

Docs (the feature was undocumented): new "GitHub Copilot cloud coding agent"
section in supported-tools.md; init flags in cli.md; the githubCopilot.cloudAgent
key in customization.md.

Tests: interactive prompt (accept/decline), opt-out removal + customized-file
preservation, config.yml variant, scalar-config regression, collision
reporting, flag-ignored warning, re-init honoring persisted opt-in, and the
config parse/warn branches. 2763 tests pass; the only failures are pre-existing
and unrelated (completion mocks, adapters loader, one config-profile PATH case,
one experimental-alias case), verified identical on clean main.

* fix(copilot): make init cloud-file output honest; harden config guard

Final hardening pass (adversarial review of the opt-in polish).

- init's success line listed both cloud-file paths from the *decision* to
  write, not from what was written — so it claimed files that a write
  skipped (user already owns them) or that the alternate-agent path removed.
  It now lists only OpenSpec-managed files that actually exist after the
  write (listManagedCloudFiles), keeps the "left untouched" caveat for
  user-owned files, and reports opt-out removals in the normal output block.
- persistCopilotCloudOptIn's non-map guard used isCollection, which is also
  true for sequences, so a YAML list at the config root still made setIn
  throw. Gate on isMap so scalars AND sequences fall back to a fresh
  document; empty/comment-only files still round-trip with comments intact.
- Fixed a misleading catch comment on the opt-out removal path.

Tests: success-line accuracy over a user-owned file, sequence-root config
regression, and listManagedCloudFiles coverage. 318 tests pass across the
touched suites; build + lint clean.

* fix(copilot): replace a non-map githubCopilot node before setIn

Addresses alfred review on #1517. The prior guard only fixed a non-map
config *root*; a valid top-level map whose `githubCopilot` value is itself a
scalar/null/sequence (`githubCopilot: false`, `null`, or a list) still made
`setIn(['githubCopilot','cloudAgent'], ...)` throw, which init swallowed —
so the explicit opt-in/out was never saved. Now the intermediate node is
replaced with an empty map before descending, keeping the rest of the config
and its comments intact.

Regression covers all three reproduced cases (false/null/sequence). Full
suite: 2770 pass; only the pre-existing unrelated failures remain.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(copilot): never throw persisting into an unparseable config

Deeper pass on persistCopilotCloudOptIn (the function alfred flagged), driven
by an exhaustive input-shape check. Two malformed inputs still threw at
toString(): a multi-document YAML stream and a tab-indented (syntactically
invalid) file. Such a file can't be edited without corrupting it, so persist
now detects parse errors and leaves it untouched (no throw, no clobber) — it
is already invalid, so readProjectConfig ignores it regardless.

With this the function is throw-free across every shape exercised: empty,
comment-only, scalar/sequence root, a non-map githubCopilot value, anchors,
CRLF, BOM, and the two malformed cases (now skipped byte-identical).

Regression added for the multi-document case. Touched suites: 314 pass.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 4.8 13e213e00f feat(tools): add Atlassian Rovo Dev CLI as a first-class tool (#1516)
* feat(tools): add Atlassian Rovo Dev CLI as a first-class tool

Rovo Dev CLI loads project Agent Skills from `.rovodev/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`
(Atlassian docs), the same SKILL.md format OpenSpec generates. It was usable
only via the generic "Shared .agents skills" fallback; this makes it a named,
selectable target in `openspec init`.

Rovo has no slash-command surface, so it is registered as an adapterless
skills-only tool (like CodeArts/ForgeCode/Hermes) — no command adapter.

Closes #212

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tools): reference Rovo skills by natural language, not dead slash commands

Rovo Dev CLI has no slash-command surface — it matches skills
automatically or by prompt, and `/skills` only manages them. The
generated skills and the getting-started hint still advertised
`/openspec-*` slash commands (18 references across the skill bodies plus
the "Start your first change" hint), so every one was a dead command.

Adds a natural-language skill-reference path for no-slash tools:
`/opsx:<id>` now renders as "the openspec-<skill> skill" for rovodev, in
both skill bodies and the init hint. Other tools are unchanged.

- src/utils/command-references.ts: NATURAL_LANGUAGE_SKILL_TOOLS +
  usesNaturalLanguageSkillReferences(); getSkillReferenceTransformer
  returns the prose transformer for rovodev.
- src/core/init.ts: phrase the skills-only hint as an instruction for
  no-slash tools ("ask Rovo Dev CLI to use the openspec-propose skill…").
- docs/supported-tools.md: correct the Rovo row (was "use skill-based
  /openspec-* invocations").
- tests: assert generated Rovo skills contain no /openspec-* or /opsx
  slash tokens, the hint advertises no dead command, and the transformer
  emits prose.

Addresses alfred-openspec review on #1516.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 4.8 96a6548664 refactor(templates): share one apply instruction body across skill and command (#1515)
* refactor(templates): share one apply instruction body across skill and command

The apply skill and command templates each carried a full ~150-line copy of
the same instruction body, differing in exactly one line (the `contextFiles`
note). Two near-identical copies invite silent drift.

Author the body once in `getApplyInstructions(contextFilesNote)` and render it
per surface, passing each surface's own note. The single intentional wording
difference stays explicit as a named constant, and further per-surface
parameters can be added here as the surfaces evolve — the skill and command
remain distinct templates.

Pure refactor: the generated skill and command output is byte-identical to
before (SKILL.md and all parity hashes unchanged). Added a contract test that
fails both if the shared body drifts between surfaces and if the intentional
contextFiles difference is flattened away.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(templates): unify apply instruction body into one shared core

Builds on the shared-core extraction: the apply skill and command still each
carried a slightly different `contextFiles` note (skill spelled out example
artifact sets, command said only "varies by schema"). That difference was
long-standing accidental drift between the two copies, not an intentional
surface distinction — the surfaces are meant to differ only in how they are
invoked, which the generation transformers already handle downstream by
rewriting `/opsx:<id>` tokens per surface.

Resolve the drift by unifying on the more informative note, so both surfaces
render one shared `getApplyInstructions()` body with no per-surface text.
Skill output is unchanged; the command's contextFiles note gains the example
artifact sets. Updated the contract test to assert both surfaces render the
shared core (no silent template-level drift), and regenerated the command
function hash accordingly.

Clay GoodandClaude Opus 4.8 06b310bf57 fix(templates): restore intentional apply skill/command separation (#1514)
* fix(templates): restore intentional apply skill/command separation

Revert the deduplication from #1153. Skills and commands are different
ways to invoke the apply workflow: commands reference /opsx:*, while
skills reference other skills by name and avoid /opsx: (a skill may be
installed without the commands). Teams choose skills-only, commands-only,
or both through profiles, so generating both is intentional, not drift.

#1153 collapsed getApplyChangeSkillTemplate() and getOpsxApplyCommandTemplate()
into one shared body and added a test asserting they are byte-identical,
erasing four deliberate differences (change-name example, contextFiles
note, blocked-state pointer, and completion hint). This restores the two
separate templates and removes the identical-body assertion.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(templates): keep apply skill invocations transformable per target

Address alfred's review on #1514. A plain revert of #1153 restored the
skill template's bare `openspec-continue-change` prose and dropped the
archive/input invocations. The generator only rewrites canonical
`/opsx:<id>` tokens, so bare prose is dead text for skills-only targets:
skills.sh, Codex, and Kimi lost valid continue/apply/archive invocations.

Keep the skill and command templates split (no shared constant, no
identical-body assertion — the design separation #1153 erased stays
reverted), but author the skill's three invocation references as
transformable `/opsx:*` tokens. The generator now emits the correct
per-target skill invocation: `/openspec-continue-change` (default),
`$openspec-continue-change` (Codex), `/skill:openspec-continue-change`
(Kimi) — i.e. "invoked as skills," spelled for each tool.

Regenerated the static SKILL.md and parity hashes, and added
default/Codex/Kimi generation regressions that pin the apply skill's
per-target invocations so this break can't recur silently.

Clay Good 02b124e6b6 fix(security): patch fast-uri, postcss, and brace-expansion advisories (#1510)
* fix(security): patch fast-uri, postcss, and brace-expansion advisories

Resolve the two open Dependabot alerts plus a third high-severity advisory
the repo's own audit surfaces but Dependabot had not filed, all via
version-ranged pnpm overrides (they lapse once the upstream tree moves past
them):

- fast-uri 3.1.4 -> 3.1.5 (website): GHSA-7p8r-x3mc-p8w7, high. Host
  confusion via backslash authority introducer. Pulled in transitively by
  ajv@8.18.0; bounded to ^3.1.5 so it stays on the 3.x line ajv expects.
- postcss 8.5.22 -> 8.5.25 (root): GHSA-fxqj-rqcc-2cmp, moderate. Arbitrary
  .map file read via attacker-controlled sourceMappingURL. Pulled in by
  vite (dev/test tooling).
- brace-expansion 5.0.8 -> 5.0.9 (website): GHSA-rgw5-rvv9-x895, high. DoS
  via unbounded recursion. The existing override capped at >=5.0.8, and
  5.0.8 is itself vulnerable under this newer advisory; the root already
  resolved to 5.0.9.

Root and website audits are clean at --audit-level high (and any-severity
for the website). Full test suite: 3662 passing.

* harden(security): bound overrides, scope release perms, add website lockfile drift check, document archive TOCTOU intent

Hardening pass over the security fixes, from a parallel review of the
dependency, CI, archive, and adjacent-code surfaces. Each item is low-risk
and verified; resolved dependency versions are unchanged.

- deps: bound the three security overrides to their current major
  (brace-expansion ">=5.0.9 <6", postcss ">=8.5.23 <9"). A bare ">=X" pin
  would take a future major on the next lockfile regen without review; the
  website already models the caret-bounded idiom.
- ci: scope release-prepare.yml permissions per job. The top-level block
  dropped "pull-requests: write"; only the "prepare" job (which opens the
  Version Packages PR) now holds it. The "beta" job only tags/releases and
  publishes via OIDC, so it inherits the narrower default (least privilege).
- ci: add a "Website Lockfile Drift" job to security.yml. The website keeps
  its own lockfile and is never installed in CI, so a website override that
  stops resolving would go unnoticed and `pnpm audit` would scan a stale
  graph. A `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts --dir website`
  fails fast on that drift (root drift is already caught in ci.yml).
- archive: add intent comments at the 7 js/file-system-race sites in
  src/core/archive.ts. The stat->read->re-stat pattern is a deliberate
  concurrent-change detector; the comments record why, so no future refactor
  (human or scanner-driven) collapses it to fd I/O and blinds the guard.

Verified: 3662 tests pass, build clean, website build clean, root+website
audits clean at --audit-level high, and the new frozen-lockfile check passes
locally.

* chore(nix): refresh pnpmDeps hash for the lockfile change

The root pnpm-lock.yaml changed (postcss + brace-expansion overrides), which
stales the fixed-output pnpmDeps hash and fails Nix Flake Validation. Repin to
the value CI computed from the new lockfile.
