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-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

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.

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.

Pattern: toggle scripts for tools with separate install + symlink steps
must check 3 states (disabled-dir, enabled-dir, source-only), not 2.
Source-only branch creates symlink in place rather than failing. Error
messages name the path checked, not just the abstract tool name, so
callers can diagnose install vs symlink state without rereading the
script. Symmetric pairs (enable/disable) must both cover the same
lifecycle states — missing state in one half = silent dead end.

- BDR-006: Caveman as 4th always-on plugin (output compression, sym

rejected, caveats around path normalization + gitignore.
- LRN-005: claude plugin install does NOT enable — explicit
claude plugin enable required for ALWAYS-ON plugins. Pattern: read
enabledPlugins, never hardcode plugin names in status displays.

read-only (orchestrators own install).

BDR-004 documents the decision to adopt auto permission mode as default

retroactively to the 9 entries written before the rule was in place:

- blockers.md: BLK-001, BLK-002 + BLK-002 index row
- journal.md: 2026-04-23 entry rewritten, + one bullet added noting

same file structure. YAML headers and schema sections untouched

First real CAPITALIZE phase (commit-changer Phase 4) — extract reusable
knowledge from the .claude/ restructure batch (commits 892de28..6ec06c8):
- BDR-003: gitignore wildcard + negations pattern (decision with why/alts)
- LRN-002: moving report-file paths requires grepping bash READS,
not just WRITES — rule learned from 2 dispatchers being
silently broken until a verify-gate caught them
- BLK-002: rmdir blocked in sandbox even on empty dirs — resolved via
git rm + rename auto-detect (no rmdir needed in practice)
