ids (they prime real-data behavior). The RED-7 root-cause lesson.
- LRN-074 — system grep/awk may be ugrep/mawk: don't assume flag-parsing, use
/usr/bin/grep, watch the RED go red. 4th command-assumption miss this session →

Pass-D index hygiene (LRN-055): the Index tables had drifted — 34 body entries
present but missing their Index row (decisions 11, learnings 21, blockers 2; evals
clean). All pre-existing, from before the coupled-capitalize machinery (BDR-034)
that keeps new entries indexed. Composed each row from its entry (decisions/blockers:
title/date/status; learnings: heading title as Pattern + condensed future-application
as Applies-to — the 5 awk-missed ones re-read from the body, 4 corrected a nuance the
title alone dropped). Inserted in ID-sorted slots. STEP-4 verify: zero MISSING/ORPHAN.
Also moved one pre-existing out-of-order row: LRN-021 (stranded at the LRN-008/009
boundary) -> its sorted slot between LRN-020 and LRN-022. Index now 100% ID-sorted.

- BLK-011 → resolved by REMOVAL (not by committing the orphan), with the TRUE
reason engraved: speculatively auto-bootstrapping an unused multi-session engine
at project creation is bad on its own terms. The initial "redundant with TODO"
framing is explicitly marked WRONG (gsd >> roadmap; TODO != gsd ROADMAP) — a
false reason that won't mislead a future reader. Reasoning trace kept: both
premises refuted on read, conclusion held for the stronger reason.
- LRN-072 — a stranded-artifact bug can be fixed by NOT creating the artifact
(negative diff), not by plumbing its commit; before building machinery, ask if
the PRODUCING step is wanted. Speculative-at-creation -> remove; deliberate-on-
demand -> keep. Family: BLK-010, BLK-011, BDR-036.
- journal 2026-06-29 (cont. 2) + TODO: BLK-011 line flipped, chantier section,
MINOR-gate FINISH marked merged. Index rows updated (blockers + learnings).

- BDR-040 — doc-syncer MINOR-shape oracle: deterministic floor under the LLM's
MINOR call; engraved limit (structural/size, NOT semantic — reduction of

(contradicts BDR-036); branch-guard deferred.
- LRN-071 — fail-loud must cover the helper's OWN commit, not just its inputs;
named as the 3rd occurrence of the swallowed-commit pattern, linked to LRN-066

BDR-025: design gate = profile-based (tier=profil, GATE-BLOCK allowlist,
magic required-but-manual, unknown->fail-visible exit 11, claude resolved via
ensure_claude_on_path since command -v depends on PATH carrying nvm bin). Alts
rejected: hardcoded tier->tools, advisory magic, strict fail-closed.
BDR-026: secret source-of-truth in ~/.claude/.env via repo/.env symlink;
source follows link -> zero read-path change; link_env defensive.
LRN-037: verify the load-bearing scenario on the real subject in real context,
not a stub/logic — every refutation this chantier came from execution.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Real cause of the gate's 'claude absent'/unknown: command -v claude needs the
nvm node bin on PATH; a sanitized-PATH hook/subshell or a version-pinned nvm
path loses it. NOT the alias (refuted: binary on inherited PATH makes command
-v succeed), NOT exit 11 (that's the mitigation). Fix = ensure_claude_on_path.

LRN-034: narrated state (any source) ≠ ground truth — P3 was believed
applied (approval confused with writing, accepted without re-checking)
until git proved otherwise on reprise. Lead signal missed = internal
contradiction ("P3 non écrit" then "P3 fait"). Verify against git.
LRN-035: honest dedup — name-mention ≠ definition-instance; the dosage
rule correctly reduced P4 to a no-op, don't force factorization.

Strip the disable-model-invocation frontmatter key from all 19 editable skills. Absent = default = model invocation enabled. 8 were 'true' and blocked the model AND orchestrators from self-routing (status, plugin-check, analyze, onboard, refactor, init-project, pdf-translate, ship-feature) — contradicting the CLAUDE.md skill-routing rules. The other 11 were 'false', a no-op noise line.
The setting is binary (no per-caller granularity), so enabling orchestrator chaining also enables model auto-fire — accepted. Genuinely destructive operations remain guarded by the careful/guard hooks, independent of this flag.
Capitalized: BDR-019 (decision), LRN-026 (learning), journal 2026-06-09.

A gstack submodule bump added `spec` (v1.47) and the iOS device-farm
5-skill set (v1.43) but gstack `./setup` was never re-run, leaving all 6
as source-only — unlinked, invisible to Claude and untouched by
reset/`gstack on`.
- Link `spec` only, surgically: skills/spec/SKILL.md symlink matching
gstack setup's per-skill pattern (real dir + absolute SKILL.md link).
Platform-agnostic, useful planning skill. Added to full + web-full
profiles (must be in the active `full` profile or `set full` would
re-disable it).
- iOS skills deliberately NOT linked: this is a Linux host, and the iOS
device-farm needs a Mac daemon + Tailscale + physical iOS devices.
Linking them would add 5 dead skills plus passive token cost.
- Complete the .gitignore gstack allowlist: add the 12 entries missing
from it — `spec`, the 5 `ios-*` (so they stay ignored if a future
setup on a Mac materializes them), and 6 already-parked skills
(document-generate, landing-report, scrape, setup-gbrain, skillify,
sync-gbrain). The parked ones matter because `gstack on` moves parked
skills into skills/, where any allowlist gap becomes untracked git
noise. Also drop the stale `skills/checkpoint` entry (renamed to
context-save).
Verified: `profile show full`/`web-full` report spec enabled; the
source-vs-allowlist drift check is now empty; profile.sh still parses.
The gstack submodule pointer bump itself is left uncommitted (separate
pending work).
Memory: BLK-007 -> resolved; LRN-025 (gitignore allowlist must cover all
toggleable skills incl. parked, else enabling one = git noise).

Centralize gstack toggling in the `profile` command without losing the
active-profile label.
- `gstack on` re-enables ALL parked gstack skills (moves
skills-disabled/gstack__* back) but does NOT touch .active-profile,
so the user layers full gstack on top of their current profile and
the statusline label is preserved. Unlike `reset`, which clears the
label to "none".
- `gstack off` disables gstack skills not listed in the active profile;
errors cleanly when no profile is active (needs one to know what to
keep).
Refactor (behavior-preserving): extract three shared helpers
`enable_all_gstack`, `disable_gstack_not_in`, `parked_gstack_count` and
rewire `cmd_reset` + `cmd_set` to reuse them instead of duplicating the
symlink-toggle loops. Wire `gstack` into main() dispatch, usage(), and the
header usage block.
Docs: SKILL.md argument-hint, examples, and output-policy updated. The
generic `make profile cmd="gstack on"` target already covers Make usage.
Verified: shellcheck CLEAN, `bash -n` OK, 6-case test (help, bad-action,
off-with-no-profile, on, off-trim, on-cycle) with final assertion that the
live symlink state was restored exactly to its pre-test value.
Memory: capitalize BDR-018 (decision), LRN-024 (DRY helper-extraction
pattern), BLK-007 (6 gstack source skills ios-*/spec unlinked post
submodule bump — open follow-up), EVAL-002 (self-eval, false "full.profile
bug" flag corrected pre-edit). Backfill index drift: BDR-017, BLK-005/006.

BDR-017: `full` profile = web-full + plan + dev superset for end-to-end
MVP via /init-project. Alternatives rejected: extend web-full (different
semantic), profile-of-profiles (not supported), keep 3 apply-chained.
LRN-020: sentinel/identifier collision pattern — `cmd_current`'s "full
(no profile set)" literal collided with new profile name. Renamed to
"none". Rule: sentinels must be outside the entity namespace.

BDR-016: doc-syncer makes README AUTO+unconditional (no skip at
validation gate, only yes/edit) and DEPLOY.md prod-only with a
14-section VPS-deploy template. Mixed dev/prod DEPLOY.md flagged as
drift; dev quick-start lives only in README.
LRN-019: deployable-project doc split by audience — README = dev +
features, DEPLOY = ops + SRE. 14-section template mirrors real
VPS-deploy shape (topology, env, provisioning, two-layer firewall,
Docker tuning, persistence, backups, TLS, observability, hardening,
rollback, runbook). Drop sections that don't apply.
