Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 6411150071 v0.45.11.0 feat(bootstrap): OOBE hand-off (own the brain + cold-start) + DX polish waves (#4047)
* feat(bootstrap): TTY DX exploration harness + Krug onboarding fix wave

Add a real-PTY exploration harness and land 16 verified "Don't Make Me
Think" fixes on the paste-in install experience for Claude Code and Codex.

Harness:
- test/helpers/tty-harness.ts — spawns any CLI (gbrain/claude/codex) under a
  real pseudo-terminal (Bun terminal: spawn), timestamps every output burst,
  and turns silence windows into a measurable stall report. Hermetic; pure
  helpers unit-tested in test/tty-harness.test.ts.
- scripts/dx-explore.ts — drives the fresh-user funnel (help / init / real
  claude-install / real codex-install / manual drive mode), writing
  transcripts to .context/dx-runs/ (gitignored).

Fixes (all adversarially verified against the code first):
- Keyless bare `gbrain init` completes in keyless mode instead of exit 1;
  multi-key non-TTY auto-picks the canonical default; typo stays fail-loud.
- Provider picker probe-gates ollama (daemon-up != model-pulled) and offers
  an explicit "continue keyless" option that is the bare-Enter default.
- Fresh-brain init prints one schema-setup line instead of ~240 migration
  names (GBRAIN_MIGRATE_VERBOSE=1 restores detail).
- Init epilogue: memory-verbs funnel is last-on-screen; skills advisory
  compacted for init; Mod Status trimmed.
- PGLite live-serve lock error names the fix (close the agent session).
- Mode-picker banner interpolates the applied mode; expansion-key gate is
  Anthropic/OpenAI/Google, not OpenAI-only.
- Missing `claude` binary skips MCP but still installs hooks; honest copy.
- Foreign MCP-registration removal targets the conflicting scope and fails
  loud if it does not land.
- Upgrade marker compares the running binary to latest and self-spawns via
  execPath, so a current/newer binary no longer nags from a stale cache.
- interview --set/--skip after --confirm warns it voided the confirmation.
- init --help matches behavior; init --supabase fails loud on non-TTY.
- Provider capabilities attributed per provider across README / runbook /
  questions bank / bootstrap.md.
- First-run tour: restart-first, prompt 3 true on day one, withheld on FAIL;
  README gives Codex the same scripted magic moment.
- Empty-brain "0 takes" onboard nudge suppressed.
- Broken settings.local.json aborts the hooks write fail-closed instead of
  silently dropping the user's permissions.

Regenerated cli-flag-registry.generated.ts and llms-full.txt.

* fix(bootstrap): second DX polish wave — clean the success screen + honest copy (F17-F21)

Follow-up to the DX fix wave, closing the top-5 remaining gaps the scorecard
flagged (all human-facing polish, not survival):

F17 — machine markers no longer leak to humans:
- verify report drops the `[D3.6]` plan-tag from the first_run_tour detail.
- the raw `UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <cur> <latest>` marker line prints ONLY on a
  non-TTY stderr (parsers still get it); an interactive human sees just the
  "gbrain X -> Y available" sentence.
- per-migration "what changed" notices (v123/v124, incl. the #2704 ref) are
  suppressed on a FRESH-install replay via a module quiet flag; upgrades still
  narrate. (GBRAIN_MIGRATE_VERBOSE=1 restores them.)

F18 — one obvious next action on the init success screen: the memory-verbs
demo is the single "→ Do this next" hero, last on screen; import/migrate/doctor
collapse into one terse "More:" footer; the graph block only shows for a
non-empty brain.

F19 — README "moment it clicks" is now the genuine cross-session brain
round-trip (remember → restart → recall), explicitly distinguished from the
identity-file recall, on both the Codex and Claude Code paths.

F20 — the compact init skills advisory is human-voiced (no `[AGENT]`
stage-direction on the human-facing success screen; the mode-picker's
agent-directed block stays gated to the non-TTY channel).

F21 — time promise reconciled: headline is ~15 min (personal-agent path) /
~30 min (always-on OpenClaw/Hermes); the runbook's search-mode line no longer
claims "balanced" when keyless applies "conservative". README hooks copy says
"on by default, with an opt-out" to match the runbook.

Regenerated llms-full.txt.

* fix(bootstrap): address two-model adversarial review of the DX wave

Fixes the regressions the 5-specialist + red-team + Claude/Codex adversarial
pass found in the F1–F21 changes, each with a test:

- Keyless upgrade hint pointed at `config set embedding_model`, which config.ts
  hard-refuses as a schema-sizing no-op — now names the working re-init recipe
  (`gbrain init --force --pglite --embedding-model <id>`), zero-key AND multi-key
  paths.
- Multi-key TTY picker offered "continue keyless" but the caller aborted on it —
  now honors keyless like the zero-key path.
- Detached update-refresh spawn used a `/gbrain$/` basename check that misfires
  for a renamed/official-named compiled binary (`gbrain-darwin-arm64`) and
  prepends the /$bunfs entrypoint — now detects dev-vs-compiled by the runtime
  basename (bun|node) so the refresh always runs.
- `bootstrap status` reported the wire phase "done" on a hooks-only receipt
  (host CLI missing at wire time) — now "partial" with a re-run hint, so a
  resuming agent doesn't trust a false complete.
- Post-repair MCP mismatch re-verifies and aborts instead of blessing a
  registration a racing writer may have re-claimed.
- probeOpenAICompat's abort timer now spans the body read (was cleared before
  it), so a stalled `/v1/models` body can't hang init past the 1s cap.
- Centralized the 4-copy stale-cache upgrade predicate into
  `pendingUpgradeVersion`; UPGRADE_AVAILABLE gains a GBRAIN_FORCE_UPGRADE_MARKER
  override for PTY-based agent harnesses.
- Mode picker's expansion-key gate adds GEMINI_API_KEY; picker prompt is
  article-aware ("an embedding" / "a chat"); dead `!brainEmpty` clause removed;
  migrate.ts try/finally widened + stamp failures named in quiet mode.
- DX harness: credential copies scrubbed even on SIGINT/interrupt (+chmod 600),
  child process TREE reaped on teardown, advisory made fail-open, KEY_MAP typed
  as a literal union.

New tests: migrate quiet-replay, self-upgrade pending predicate + negative
cache cases, bootstrap 127/scoped-remove/broken-settings dispatch, interview
invalidation flag, verify tour-withheld-on-FAIL, init keyless/supabase/multi-key,
init-nudge branches, ai-probes model parsing. Regenerated flag registry +
template-repo.

* v0.45.8.0 fix(bootstrap): onboarding DX polish wave (F17-F21) + review fixes

DX fix wave on the paste-in install/first-run experience for Claude Code and
Codex, driven by a new real-PTY exploration harness. Keyless init completes
instead of erroring, the migration wall collapses to one line, the success
screen leads with one action, and the "magic moment" copy points at the genuine
cross-session round-trip. Full detail in CHANGELOG.

Version trio + openclaw manifest + runbook stamp bumped to 0.45.8.0; CHANGELOG
release entry; TODOS onboarding-DX follow-ups filed.

* feat(bootstrap): OOBE hand-off — you own the brain, cold-start is skill #1

A working install now ends by making the two facts that matter actually land:

- `gbrain bootstrap verify` prints (and returns as `handoff` in --json) an
  ownership block — the actual private-repo URL with what owning it means
  (read it, `gbrain bootstrap attach` on machine two, delete it and the brain
  is gone), or the local-only variant pointing at `gbrain bootstrap repo` —
  followed by the ONE next action: run the cold-start skill (Gmail/calendar/
  contacts via ClawVisor, an OAuth vault so the agent never holds raw tokens;
  or offline archives), one consented phase at a time. Withheld on FAIL like
  the tour; shape stays unconditional for machine consumers.
- cold-start ships in the downstream bundle (61 skills): its plugin exclusion
  ("host onboarding flow") predated the v0.45 personal-agent bootstrap and is
  deliberately reversed — the paste-in audience is exactly who day-one
  onboarding is for. It now LEADS the recommended set (ahead of book-mirror:
  every flagship skill only becomes magical once the brain holds the user's
  real life).
- New drift guard: every recommended slug must be scaffoldable from the
  plugin bundle — recommended-but-unscaffoldable is a dead-end CTA and now
  fails the suite.
- Runbook Hand off rewritten around the two must-land facts + the on-the-spot
  cold-start offer; README's Codex and Claude Code paths carry the same two
  follow-ups.

* test(ci): stop memory-verbs-conformance leaking a fake-keyed gateway into shard-mates

The deterministic-embedder helper configures the MODULE-GLOBAL gateway with a
fake OpenAI key; the file's afterAll never reset it. The bunfig preload's
per-test restore only fires when the gateway is UNCONFIGURED, so the fake-keyed
config persisted for every later file in the shard process — turn-context's
corpus writes then embedded against real OpenAI and 401'd (CI shard-8 failure;
shard re-binning from this branch's new test files exposed it).

Fix both sides: conformance's afterAll now resetGateway()s back to the preload
baseline and nulls both test transports; turn-context's beforeAll does the same
defensively so it stays hermetic regardless of shard composition.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 1ec6a6e842 v0.45.9.0 feat(bootstrap): first-class cloud-sandbox install + per-turn persistence + fail-closed privacy ladder (#4045)
* feat(core): execution-environment detection — local | cloud-sandbox | ephemeral-container

detectExecutionEnvironment() + isCredentialInjectingProxy() with injected
signals (CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE, cse_ session-id prefix, proxy-injected token
placeholder, anthropic-egress proxy JWT, container markers). binaryOnPath
moves here as the canonical PATH probe. autopilot's detectInstallTarget
ephemeral branch now routes through the shared detector.

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

* feat(bootstrap): repo-visibility ladder + per-turn Stop push + same-session failure banner

The durability lane. One repo-visibility verdict for every consumer (REST
first — never GraphQL, which sandbox proxies pin; authed ls-remote + an
attributed anonymous probe as the git-protocol fallback), replacing three
drifted probes. A 200 counts as public only with advertisement proof; a
401/404 counts as private-signal only with an auth challenge — fail-closed
in BOTH directions. Private verdicts cache 1h (private-only, per origin).

gbrain hook stop now spawns a debounced detached push per turn (per-root
state; cloud-sandbox defaults to every turn, elsewhere 5 min; a failing
status bypasses the debounce), closing the /exit and VM-reclaim gaps.
Push status is per workspace root, read through one shared reader by the
user-prompt banner (additionalContext + systemMessage — visible to the
human, not just the model), the SessionStart note, and doctor. Escape
hatches for self-hosted git: flag > env > file-plane config key.

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

* feat(bootstrap): environment-aware install — honest cron skip, cloud repo-create guard, execution_env surfaces

installDurabilityCron probes for crontab before writing anything (containers
and cloud sandboxes ship without one — expected, reported as an honest skip
naming the event-driven pushes that still cover persistence). The repo phase
installs the container-friendly harden half (post-commit hook, no scheduler)
outside local machines. createPrivateRepo fails fast in cloud sandboxes with
the flow that works (create outside, open the session ON the repo, attach).
bootstrap verify gains a never-gating execution_env check; bootstrap status
--json carries execution_environment for installing agents to branch on.

Also fixes a live-PATH resolution class: binaryOnPath and the crontab execs
now pass the current env explicitly (Bun resolves against the startup
snapshot otherwise).

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

* fix(bootstrap): lifecycle hygiene — uninstall teardown, doctor job liveness, .mcp.json out of the repo, honest persistence copy

uninstall now tears down the durability wiring it installed (launchd/cron
job, untracked post-commit hook, credential wiring — the committed helper
and AGENTS rules stay). doctor gains bootstrap_durability_job: presence +
LIVENESS (launchctl load-state, crontab line, pull-log freshness) — a plist
on disk with a dead job no longer reads as healthy. Rendered .gitignore now
covers .mcp.json (absolute machine paths must not land in the private
repo); verify warns on pre-fix installs that committed it; the never-built
state/mcp.json promise is gone from GITHUB.md. Persistence copy tells the
truth everywhere: event-driven pushes do the durability work, the 30-min
job is a multi-machine pull freshener. Post-commit hook install/removal is
worktree-safe (git-path resolution; the git marker is a FILE there) and the
cron wrapper's self-disable tests the repo dir, not its git marker. Two
follow-up TODOs filed (plugin hook distribution; Channels push lane).

* feat(bootstrap): committed hook carrier for cloud + cloud-setup-script emitter + cloud runbook

Cloud sessions clone fresh and snapshot hook config at session start — the
gitignored settings.local.json never exists there, so hooks never fired in
cloud at all. Cloud installs now write the repo-COMMITTED .claude/settings.json
with PATH-resolved, fail-open commands (no machine paths; a host without the
binary no-ops); local installs keep settings.local.json; the writers enforce
that one event never fires from both carriers, and removal cleans both.

New: gbrain bootstrap cloud-setup-script prints the paste-ready environment
setup script (npm transport — bun fetching is proxy-incompatible in cloud;
never the unrelated npm-registry package). Runbook gains a NEVER FABRICATE
TOOLING hard rule, a cloud-sandbox section (expected degradations as facts to
relay, the attach-first flow), and failure-table rows for the proxy-403 and
missing-crontab signatures. Codex lane stated honestly: AGENTS.md Gate 2 now
has the pull-side push-health check. Guide documents the new knobs and the
cloud contract; llms bundles regenerated.

* test(bootstrap): per-turn push e2e chain, cloud-sandbox sim, per-root status reader migration + registry regen

bootstrap-persistence e2e gains the Stop-hook chain (one stop banks the turn
to the real bare remote; the debounce holds across stops; debounce-0 lands
consecutive turns) and fixes a pre-existing post-#4024 break: repoPhaseComplete
required a github-parseable origin, so session-end pushes deferred FOREVER for
self-hosted/file-transport origins — non-github repo_urls now bind by exact
URL equality (redirect protection preserved). Degraded-modes e2e gains the
cloud-sandbox simulation (status reports the environment; repo creation
refuses with the attach flow). workspace-push tests read per-root status
through the shared reader. Flag registry regenerated (new git argv literals
from the git-path/ls-files calls — the accepted argv-bleed class).

* fix(doctor): categorize bootstrap_durability_job (categories drift guard)

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

* fix(bootstrap): adversarial-review hardening — fail-closed privacy, no push-storm, no exfil paths

Both Claude and Codex adversarial passes ran; 11 findings fixed (union):
- Non-github 401+WWW-Authenticate no longer reads as private (RFC 7235 makes
  the header mandatory on every 401, so a middlebox 401s identically) — the
  top exfil path both models flagged; now unverifiable/fail-closed, operator
  confirms via the escape hatch. github.com still needs x-github-request-id.
- Escape hatches downgrade ONLY 'unverifiable' — a PROVEN-public origin still
  refuses (hatches never authorize a public push).
- treeNeedsPush measures against origin/<branch> (the push's own ref), not
  @{u}: a no-upstream branch no longer reports a committed-but-unpushed tree
  as push_clean and silently strands it.
- [D20] failing-retry uses a fixed 60s floor, not min(debounce,60s) — cloud
  debounce=0 no longer re-runs the network ladder every turn.
- Committed hook carrier: dedupe/suppress only on the EXACT portable-command
  shape, not a 'gbrain hook' substring (blocks the suppress-local-run-evil
  supply-chain vector); GBRAIN_HOME refused in the committed carrier.
- push-status reason sanitized (charset+length) at every surface (banner,
  doctor, status blob) so remote git stderr can't inject via the remediation.
- Per-root state: ghost-root records (deleted workspaces) filtered so a dead
  failing record can't re-fire the banner forever; uninstall removes them.
- statusReport support blob reads push status through the shared per-root
  reader; visibility cache strips URL userinfo (no PAT persisted).
- anonProbe strips userinfo + redirect:manual + SSRF flags + --end-of-options
  on ls-remote; cron self-disable uses git rev-parse (worktree-safe both
  ways); cloud-setup-script fails loud on a broken update; durability liveness
  won't certify a never-run crontab as live; config get/unset resolve the
  dotted file-plane keys; .bak/.broken gitignored; typed config fields.

* v0.45.8.0 feat(bootstrap): first-class cloud-sandbox install + per-turn persistence + fail-closed privacy ladder

VERSION + package.json + CHANGELOG + TODOS + llms bundles.

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

* docs: sync KEY_FILES + README for the cloud-DX wave (v0.45.8.0)

New KEY_FILES entries for execution-env.ts and repo-visibility.ts; updated the
bootstrap repo/hooks, workspace-push, brain-repo-durability, and hook.ts
entries to current behavior (ladder verification, committed cloud hook carrier,
per-root push status, crontab probe + liveness, per-turn stop push + banner).
README's Claude Code line now states per-turn + cloud persistence honestly.
llms bundles regenerated.

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

* fix(bootstrap): doc-review pass — attach records repo_url (enables cloud persistence), verify reads per-root push status, honest docs

Cross-model doc review (Codex) caught that the headline cloud-persistence
claim was hollow and two docs over-claimed:
- attach now records repo_url from the adopted origin, so the no-daemon push
  gate (repoPhaseComplete) recognizes the repo phase as done — WITHOUT this,
  the per-turn/session-end pushes deferred forever after an attach, which is
  the ONLY install path in a cloud sandbox (repo is refused there). Privacy is
  still enforced at push time by the ladder.
- bootstrap verify's push_probe reads the shared per-root reader [D8], not the
  legacy single file — a fresh v0.45.8 install no longer reports 'no push
  recorded' when per-root status exists.
- Docs corrected to match code: runbook stamp → 0.45.8.0; README states the
  per-turn cadence honestly (debounced local, next-turn failure notice);
  GITHUB.md qualifies auto-push as Claude Code (Codex is pull); KEY_FILES says
  repo/status use REST (not the full ladder) and drops the stale --push;
  bootstrap.md hooks-location covers both carriers; README verbs surface says
  seven. llms bundles regenerated.

* fix(bootstrap): regenerate vendored template-repo tree + isolate env-mutating tests (verify gate)

The verify CI gate caught two things the piecemeal local runs missed:
- templates/bootstrap/template-repo/ is a GENERATED tree; the source-template
  edits (AGENTS.md Gate 2, CLAUDE.md cloud note) plus the version stamp had
  drifted. Regenerated from source (check:bootstrap-templates green).
- test/bootstrap-repo.test.ts + test/durability-cron.test.ts newly mutated
  process.env in non-serial files; converted to withEnv() (check:test-isolation
  green) — no .serial rename needed.

* test(ambient-recall): pin a keyless gateway so delta/context_pack writes never fire a real embed

Root cause of the shard-2 CI red after the 0.45.9.0 re-bump: adding this
wave's test files reshuffled the weight-packed shards, moving
ambient-recall.test.ts next to a neighbor that leaks CI's dummy
OPENAI_API_KEY (sk-test-*) into the gateway singleton (the bunfig preload
configures with env:{...process.env}, and a present-but-invalid key turns
remember's keyless-degrade embed into a hard 401). The delta/context_pack
tests exercise cursor + budget logic, not embedding quality, so this pins a
keyless gateway (env:{}) in beforeAll — isAvailable('embedding') is false,
writeSingleFact degrades (degraded_dedup) with no HTTP call, and the file is
deterministic regardless of shard bin-packing. Verified: passes with
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-test-* set (the CI condition). Master's own comment in
legacy-embedding-preload.ts already warns 'adding any test file reshuffles
the mines'; this makes the file immune.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 6fae2c10ff v0.45.3.0 fix(bootstrap): never offer MCP project scope on Codex — consent-flow honesty (#4029)
* fix(bootstrap): codex scope-note guard + scope-aware wire hint

runHooks: on --harness codex, print a stderr note when an explicit,
non-skipped MCP_SCOPE=project answer is persisted (raw readInterviewState
read, not the project-defaulting consentAnswer resolver) — reachable via
attach from a Claude Code machine or a pre-fix install. consentAnswer is
now shape-tolerant: a hand-edited non-string answer value falls through to
the bank default instead of throwing at a toLowerCase call site.
status.ts: the wire-phase resume_hint states the scope rule (Claude Code
consent, phase 3; Codex always user-global — no scope flag).
Tests: 7-case branch matrix on the note guard + wire-hint pin.

* fix(bootstrap): harness-scope the MCP consent prose (never offer project scope on Codex)

Runbook: the scope consent moves to phase 3 (Claude Code only, recorded with
interview --set BEFORE the read-back so the confirmation covers it — a
wire-time set clears the A8 confirm and regresses status); phase 6's Codex
bullet gains the counter-signal: Do NOT offer an MCP scope choice — codex
mcp add has no scope flag, registrations are always user-global.
Bank: MCP_SCOPE.question gets a read-aloud-safe "(Claude Code only. ...)"
prefix and phase moves wire -> interview to match.
Templates: ACCESS_POLICY's scope section becomes two static harness
paragraphs; CLAUDE.md stops conflating directory-based identity loading
with MCP scope. Vendored template-repo regenerated.

* chore(ci): pin the harness-scoping counter-signals (check-bootstrap-templates §e)

Three SKIP-GRACEFUL tripwires: the runbook must carry "Do NOT offer an MCP
scope choice" and "Claude Code only"; questions.json's MCP_SCOPE.question
must start with "(Claude Code only". Guard-test fixtures gain a compliant
MCP_SCOPE entry + pass/fail cases for each pin.

* docs: Codex user-global scope caveats + A8 consent-semantics follow-up TODO

Install table and KEY_FILES hooks entry now state the split: Claude Code
takes --scope (project default); Codex has no scope flag. TODOS gains the
deferred structural question (consent keys vs the A8 confirm gate).

* fix: pre-landing + red-team review hardening

Guard §(e): a valid-JSON bank missing its questions object now FAILS (it
silently passed both §a and §e); the pin also asserts MCP_SCOPE.phase is
'interview' so the schema half of the fix can't silently revert. Fixtures
for both + entry-vanished. consentAnswer says so on stderr when it discards
a malformed answer value (a silent fall-through could flip a damaged opt-out
to the permissive default) — pinned by a claude-code matrix case asserting
the receipt. Off-ramp texts gain the narrow `codex mcp remove gbrain`
alongside full uninstall (note, runbook, ACCESS_POLICY + vendored copy).
Cross-refs de-ordinaled (phase names, not numbers — master renumbers steps).
TODOS A8 entry gains the healing half (status can't distinguish consent-key
invalidation from tampering).

* fix: adversarial-review hardening — fail-closed consents + honest scope prose

consentAnswer: a present-but-unusable answer (non-string, empty, bare {})
now fails CLOSED to 'no' with a stderr note — a bank-default fall-through
could flip a damaged opt-out into consent (cross-model finding); 'no' is
every consent key's safe reading (no hooks, no cron, project scope). Pinned
by a malformed-HOOKS_CONSENT matrix case asserting hooks are declined.
Codex scope note: names the safe remediation (--skip MCP_SCOPE + reconfirm;
never --set user — the answer git-syncs to paired Claude Code machines and
would widen their scope) [codex review P2]. Prose states the user-global
registration's read+write reach honestly (runbook, ACCESS_POLICY + vendored).
Interview resume_hint carries the consent-recording step (the CLI channel a
resumed install actually reads). Guard §(e): unparseable questions.json now
FAILS instead of passing silently. TODOS: P1 filed for stdio dispatch scope
parity (pre-existing, surfaced by the adversarial pass).

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.45.3.0)

Runbook stamp + vendored template-repo regenerated to match (the two
version gates check:bootstrap-tag and check:bootstrap-templates enforce).

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

* docs: update project documentation for v0.45.3.0

KEY_FILES.md: bootstrap.ts entry carries the fail-closed consent
resolution + Codex stale-scope-answer note; CI-guards entry adds the
check-bootstrap-templates §(e) harness-scoping counter-signal pins.
bootstrap.md: degradation matrix Codex row states the no-scope-flag
reality (registrations are user-global). llms bundles regenerated
(byte-identical — these docs are linked, not inlined).

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

* docs: cross-model doc-review fixes for v0.45.3.0

CHANGELOG: Codex off-ramps are removal commands, not narrowing; the
refresh recipe now covers both harnesses and names the re-confirm step
for pre-fix installs whose confirmation was invalidated. Runbook: the
user-scope tradeoff says read and write, matching ACCESS_POLICY.
bootstrap.md: degradation-matrix Codex row rephrased (lose the ability
to confine reach, not the reach itself). KEY_FILES: the section-(e)
description no longer implies placement pinning.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8 a996e42856 v0.45.2.0 fix(bootstrap): create-repo-first repo adoption + hardening (#4024)
* fix(bootstrap): harden create-repo-first repo adoption

`gbrain bootstrap repo` adopts an empty, private, personally-owned GitHub repo
the human created (create-repo-first), instead of only ever creating one. This
hardens the existing adoption branch:

- Empty-only adoption + pending_repo_url proof: a non-empty origin is refused
  (ORIGIN_NOT_EMPTY) unless it matches this workspace's pending marker (our own
  interrupted push). Never adopts a user's existing project from a git-ancestry
  guess, and never silently no-ops without pushing.
- Repo-local git identity is set on the adopt path too (fresh-machine commits).
- repo_url is recorded only AFTER a successful push (pending marker before);
  a failed push no longer looks "done" to `bootstrap status`.
- Pre-push secret scan also covers an already-committed tree; ls-files failure
  fails closed.
- assertOriginMatches binds BOTH the fetch URL and a configured push URL to the
  verified-private repo, so a foreign pushurl can't leak the workspace.
- disposition: 'created' | 'adopted' | 'reused' replaces the overloaded flag.
- Hook push-gate: the no-daemon session-end / recovery push is deferred until
  the repo phase records repo_url AND the current origin still matches it, so
  nothing is published to an unverified or redirected remote.

Adds ORIGIN_NOT_EMPTY / REMOTE_CHECK_FAILED error codes.

* docs(bootstrap): lead with the repo, document create-repo-first

README (Claude Code + Codex) now opens with "the folder you open becomes your
agent's private repo" and adds a "prefer to make the repo yourself?" callout for
the create-repo-first path (empty, personal-account repo). Updates the bootstrap
guide, the Claude Code MCP note, and the KEY_FILES / AGENT_BOOTSTRAP_PLAN
invariants to describe adoption instead of "foreign origins refused".

* v0.45.1.0 fix(bootstrap): create-repo-first repo adoption + hardening

Bumps VERSION/package.json to 0.45.1.0, adds the CHANGELOG entry, refreshes the
runbook + template-repo version stamps, and regenerates the llms bundle.

* docs(todos): file P2 follow-up — index-blob secret scan for bootstrap pushes

* ci(gitleaks): run the free CLI instead of the license-gated v2 action

gitleaks-action@v2 now enforces a paid GITLEAKS_LICENSE and fails the job
("missing gitleaks license") for accounts it can't validate over the API —
blocking every PR's merge gate. Replace it with the open-source gitleaks CLI
(pinned 8.30.1, checksum-verified against the release's own checksums file),
scanning the PR/push commit range with the committed .gitleaks.toml allowlist.
Same secret-scan coverage, no license wall.

* v0.45.2.0 chore(release): re-bump 0.45.1.0 -> 0.45.2.0

Re-target the release version at the user's request. Updates VERSION,
package.json, the CHANGELOG header + self-repair block, the runbook +
template-repo version stamps, the TODOS follow-up reference, and the llms bundle.

* test(perf): raise entity-card ratio ceiling 50x -> 100x (CI flake)

The RATIO GUARD asserted entity p99 <= 50x max(getPage p50, 1ms). On a fast
runner getPage p50 floors to 1ms and a normal entity p99 (~50ms) reads as ~52x,
tripping the gate even though absolute p99 (52ms) is well under the 100ms budget
— a p99 tail divided by a sub-ms median. At the 1ms floor, 50x also made the
ratio STRICTER than the test's own 100ms absolute budget. Raise the ceiling to
100x: still far below the >=200x O(N)-regression signal the guard exists to
catch, and consistent with (never stricter than) the absolute budget.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 d35c9c9e44 v0.45.0.0 feat(bootstrap): paste-in personal-agent install for Codex + Claude Code (#3975)
* docs(designs): agent-bootstrap plan + design docs (normative, review-absorbed)

The scrubbed, in-repo sources of truth for the gbrain bootstrap wave:
AGENT_BOOTSTRAP_DESIGN.md (product scope/sequencing) and
AGENT_BOOTSTRAP_PLAN.md (implementation; all review-finding IDs inlined).

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

* feat(bootstrap): format spec, question bank, identity templates, bundled assets

agent.json manifest (format_version 1, initialized sentinel) + machine-local
install receipt [CX2-1, CX2-12]; 12-question/6-required interview bank with
consent keys and a persist:false sink for the optional provider key [CX2-13];
ten {{TOKEN}} identity templates (generic, adapted to gbrain ops — gates call
recall/query/put_page, write-through-ops rule, keyless agent-authored facts,
silence contract); assets embedded compiled-binary-safe via file-type imports
[ENG-6].

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

* feat(bootstrap): runbook, README paste block, bootstrap guide, TODOS entries

BOOTSTRAP_FOR_AGENTS.md (agent-driven install runbook: CLI phase list is the
source of truth, never-invent rules, Codex approvals preflight, keyless posture,
failure-modes table, version stamp for the skew check); README gains the
full-agent paste block pinned to latest-stable inside the Claude Code/Codex
quick start (memory-only tier stays); docs/guides/bootstrap.md carries the full
install/security/consent/degradation/uninstall contract.

* docs(designs): spike instrument for the bootstrap wave (build order 0)

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

* feat(bootstrap): interview + render engines

Interview gate with read-back confirm-hash (any later answer change clears the
confirmation — the hostile single-batch case is structurally impossible),
per-answer provenance, caps + escaping at set time, config-sink routing for the
provider key; renderer with hard-fail token sweep, subordinate fencing of
principal input, never-clobber + backups, deterministic minimal mode for the
template repo, scaled byte floors. 58 unit tests.

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

* feat(bootstrap): private-repo lifecycle — repo create, attach, uninstall, run lock

gh-gated private repo creation with API-verified privacy (rate-limit distinct
from public), refuse-foreign-origin with attach as the sanctioned path, atomic
bootstrap mutex (pid liveness + age + token), receipt-keyed uninstall that
never wholesale-deletes the gbrain home and only offers --delete-brain for a
brain it created; read-only PGLite lock probe (never opens the engine).
54 unit tests, injectable exec seam throughout.

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

* feat(release): latest-stable ref, template-repo publish job, bootstrap CI guards

release.yml advances the latest-stable tag only after assets publish (the paste
block's permanent ref — copies in the wild never rot) and gains a PAT-gated
publish-template job verified against the vendored tree; two skip-graceful
guards (sanctioned-ref + runbook stamp; template/token bijection + placeholder
assertion + generator byte-diff) wired into verify; README + runbook re-admitted
to the CI cache hash; vendored deterministic template tree generated.

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

* feat(context): IPC v2 turn_context + 8KB assembly + visibility resolver + session identity

Discriminated-union IPC with handler map, protocol echo (stale-serve detection),
shared-secret gate, server-side source binding, per-kind budgets; turn-context
assembly (reflex pointers + volunteered pages + world-only hot facts) under a
data-not-instructions envelope trimmed to the harness's 10KB hook-output cap;
facts.default_visibility resolved through one helper at all four sites (explicit
caller wins, typos fail closed); typed sessionId threads _meta.session_id into
the hot-memory cache key. 50 new tests; 180 adjacent tests confirmed green.

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

* feat(persistence): secret-scan, gbrain sources push, durability unification

Pattern secret scanner (own runtime allowlist, redacted previews, corpus-write
redaction mode); sources push runs the whole scan→stage→commit→pull→push
sequence under one cross-platform lock (mkdir-atomic, pid+age+token) with a
deny-glob backstop, commit-first divergence-safe pull, refuse-unverifiable
visibility, and push-status telemetry; gbrain-home choke point unifies
GBRAIN_HOME semantics with config (0700); durability is parent-repo-aware and
rotates its push log at 0600. 35 new tests; 200 existing green.

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

* fix(sources): harden/pull gates accept sources inside a parent git repo

The bootstrap workspace registers brain/ (a subdirectory) as the source; the
durability core already resolves the repo root, so the command gates now check
inside-a-repo rather than .git-right-here [CX2-3].

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

* feat(serve): resident maintenance sweep + keyless capability probe

The lock-owning serve process now closes the persistence loop: startup (3s
post-connect, best-effort, unref'd) and idle (10-min quiet intervals through
the injectable timer seam) sweeps run facts-fence reconciliation, deterministic
link/timeline extraction over recent workspace pages, and spend-gated corpus
ingest (skipped keyless — agent-authored fences cover it). gbrain sweep --once
is the trusted CLI seam bootstrap verify uses. Capability probe renders the
honest keyless/keyed report. Full reuse of the cycle extractor + extract cores;
26 new tests, neighbors green.

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

* feat(hooks): engine-free gbrain hook command, settings writers, transcript parser

Four hook events (session-start digest + crashed-session recovery push,
user-prompt turn-context injection under an 800ms deadline and the 10KB cap,
stop buffers, session-end corpus write with redaction/retention/dedup +
best-effort push); structural JSON settings merger keyed by a _gbrain marker
(foreign hooks and permissions survive); dated host-spec registry; Claude Code
.jsonl parser as a spec-target with a scrubbed 7-shape fixture. Heartbeat is
counters-only by construction. 59 tests; zero engine modules in the import
graph.

* docs(bootstrap): cross-link the full-agent path from the connection docs

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

* feat(bootstrap): dispatcher, verify, status — the command assembled

gbrain bootstrap {status,interview,render,repo,hooks,verify,uninstall,attach}:
engine-free except verify (owns its engine, in-process sweep — no live-serve
conflict); phase list is the TS source of truth with install.jsonl telemetry
and the support blob; verify's fail-soft check suite covers the real write path
(put_page → write-through file → sweep → graph floor → recall), passes keyless,
persists snapshots, and ends with the first-run tour. cli.ts wired per the
three-touchpoint rule; doctor gains the bootstrap check group (silent on
machines with no bootstrap state). 28 new tests; 353 adjacent green.

* docs: KEY_FILES bootstrap cluster + CLAUDE.md dispatcher row (+ build:llms)

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

* test(bootstrap): e2e pins — hook-under-live-serve, attach, degraded modes, compiled binary, Docker harness

The permanent pins: a real serve holds the PGLite lock while the engine-free
hook completes (and a direct engine open provably throws LiveServeLockError);
stale-socket fail-open; machine-2 attach with marker-keyed hook repair;
decline-everything installs verify green with every degradation named; the
compiled binary renders bundled templates in an empty cwd. Offline Docker
harness (networkless, read-only) gated into heavy-tests.

* fix(bootstrap): register doctor check categories + system-of-record allow comments

The six bootstrap doctor checks join OPS_CHECK_NAMES; the sweep's batch link/
timeline inserts carry the explicit extract-path allow comments (the sweep IS
the extraction path for workspace pages).

* fix(test): shard wedge cap tracks suite growth (1500s -> 1800s)

At ~9000 tests a healthy shard finished at 1466s and two progressing shards
were false-killed at the old cap; 1800s restores ~25% headroom over the
slowest observed healthy shard. Real hangs still hit it.

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

* test(ci): cache-hash policy — README + runbook edits must invalidate [C2]

The old deny-list assertion predates the paste block; README.md and
BOOTSTRAP_FOR_AGENTS.md are policy-doc re-admissions now, so their edits must
change the hash (a paste-block edit shipping under a cached green was the C2
hole).

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

* fix(test): classify post-suite exit-hangs as warn-pass; file the leak forensics

A shard killed by the wedge watchdog with every assigned file started and zero
fail markers did all its work and leaked a handle at exit — pre-existing and
master-reproducible (P1 TODO carries the full bisect forensics). Bun's per-test
timeout turns a hung test into a (fail), so the classifier cannot mask one.

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

* fix(test): shard cap 2400s — the count-balanced heavy shard needs it under contention

Observed: the heavy shard still progressing 22s before an 1800s kill while
siblings finish at 1150-1550s (split balances file count, not weight). Filed
the load-sensitive WAL-repair flake (pre-existing, master's v0.42.75.0 wave).

* test(bootstrap): quarantine env-mutating suites to the serial lane

check-test-isolation R1: six new files mutate GBRAIN_HOME/env at module scope —
the serial lane (one process per file) is the guard's prescribed home for them.
All 114 tests pass post-rename.

* docs(readme): per-harness install sections — Codex, Claude Code, then OpenClaw/Hermes

Each harness gets its own complete paste-block section (desktop app first,
terminal noted — Claude Code CLI is the identical harness; Codex CLI works
pull-based today); the OpenClaw/Hermes platform path keeps equal weight with
its one-click deploys and INSTALL_FOR_AGENTS block intact; memory-only and
remote-connect tiers consolidated under 'Lighter ways in'. Supersedes the
review's D5 ordering by user direction; stale heading references updated.

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

* docs(readme): Codex as the recommended first step; OpenClaw/Hermes framed as-intended, high-cost

The install section now routes newcomers explicitly: Codex first
(subscription-priced, nothing to deploy), OpenClaw/Hermes as GBrain used the
way it was designed — always on, at real server + API cost.

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

* fix: doc-audit code chasers — broken recovery hints, stale op description, auto_link key

Four small code fixes surfaced by the markdown accuracy audit:
- doctor's auto-RLS recovery hint pointed at `apply-migrations --force-retry 35`,
  which cannot work (--force-retry targets the vX.Y.Z orchestrator registry, not
  the numeric schema MIGRATIONS array). Hint now points at the recreate SQL in
  docs/guides/rls-and-you.md; test pins against regression.
- v0_11_0 migration printed the same broken-mechanism class of hint
  (`config set minion_mode` writes DB config nothing reads); now names
  `apply-migrations --mode` + preferences.json, the real setter.
- submit_job's op description hardcoded a stale handler list; now points at
  registerBuiltinHandlers as the source plus the --follow discovery trick.
- `auto_link` added to KNOWN_CONFIG_KEYS: read by link-extraction, reconcile-links,
  and sweep, and documented as the off-switch in brain-ops/maintain, but the
  allowlist rejected `config set auto_link false`.

* docs: repo-wide accuracy + MECE reform from the 9-bucket markdown audit

A code-grounded audit of every markdown file (root, architecture, guides,
mcp, tutorials, docs-root, operations/eval/designs, skills, recipes) followed
by a fix wave with per-bucket ownership. Four classes of change:

Accuracy — every documented command/flag verified against src/ before writing:
dead commands replaced with working ones (pages purge-deleted, jobs watch
--follow, gbrain restore, import-based Obsidian flow, space-separated --scopes,
real thin-client recipes, working isolation verification, real supervisor
restart procedure, curl-based ngrok health check, real minion_mode setter);
count drift fixed with rot-proof phrasing (100+ ops, 50+ bundled skills via
skills/manifest.json, 140+ engine methods, KNOBS_HASH_VERSION pointer instead
of hardcoded versions); stale claims corrected (search-mode defaults, RETRIEVAL
pipeline order incl. autocut, sentinel rules, refusal-list mechanism, engine
snapshot, shard cap 2400s + EXIT-HANG classifier in TESTING.md, latest-stable +
publish-template documented in RELEASING.md as release.yml promises).

MECE — one home per concept, pointers elsewhere: test isolation → TESTING.md;
OAuth registration + --bind/--public-url lore → DEPLOY.md; mode bundles →
guides/search-modes.md (the home the CLAUDE.md dispatcher always promised);
merge contract → schema-packs.md; WAL ladder → ENGINES.md; quiet-hours →
quiet-hours.md; capture taxonomy → entity-detection.md; person-page taxonomy →
compiled-truth.md; brain-first protocol → brain-first-lookup.md; refresh
semantics → refresh-algorithm.md; KEY_FILES.md deduplicated (58 extension
entries merged, one entry per file); infra-layer.md rewritten as a pointer page.

Privacy — placeholder sweep across guides, docs, skills, and recipes per the
iron rule; per-release narration stripped from reference docs (current-state
prose only).

Bootstrap coverage — AGENTS.md pointer, RESOLVER routing row, INSTALL.md path,
tutorial cross-links, keyless-mode sections in spend-controls/headless-install.

skills.lock.json regenerated; llms.txt/llms-full.txt rebuilt. Gates: verify
36/36, typecheck clean, doctor 96/96, skills-integrity + resolver + build-llms
+ config-set + migrations all green.

* docs(readme): refresh production-brain stats to current brain-repo counts

155,795 pages / 24,589 people / 5,340 companies, counted from the brain
repo's current HEAD; the "100K-page brain" framing moves to 150K to match.
Cron-fleet count unchanged (its store lives on the deployment host, not in
the repos available for verification).

* fix(scan,push): modern OpenAI/Voyage key patterns, scan staged blobs not disk

- secret-scan matches sk-proj-/sk-svcacct-/sk-None- and pa- Voyage keys
  (the bare sk- pattern missed every current OpenAI key format).
- workspacePush stages first, then scans the staged index blobs via
  git cat-file, closing the scan-then-stage TOCTOU where a file changed
  between snapshot and commit shipped unscanned.
- shared binary-sniff helper, memoized glob regexes, atomic push-status
  write, and tests for pull_conflict + gitignored deny-match paths.

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

* fix(ci): regenerate flag registry for new commands, harden shard classifier + release token

- cli-flag-registry.generated.ts regenerated: bootstrap/hook/sweep and
  sources push --message/--allow-unverified-remote were missing, so the
  strict #2185 validator rejected real invocations and skipped the new
  commands entirely.
- EXIT-HANG shard classifier now requires every assigned file to have
  started before warn-passing a watchdog kill (was fail-open).
- release.yml passes TEMPLATE_REPO_PAT via http.extraheader, off the argv.
- compiled-binary e2e fails loud in CI instead of a silent permanent skip.

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

* fix(hook,sweep,ipc): non-blocking hook pushes, bounded sweep + cache, source-bound resolve

- session-start/session-end no longer run synchronous git + inline push
  inside their self-deadline; a detached child does the push and the hook
  returns immediately (blocked Claude Code startup for minutes on a dirty
  tree before).
- serve sweep drops the unbounded listAllPageRefs, resolves only candidate
  targets, claims corpus files atomically (no double-LLM-spend race), and
  caps the fence LIKE scan; heartbeat writes are O_APPEND with rare compaction.
- hot-memory cache evicts expired entries and bounds entry count (the key is
  caller-controlled via _meta.session_id).
- v1 resolve IPC honors boundSourceId like turn_context; turn-context runs
  its arms concurrently. doctor reads push/heartbeat thresholds from hook.ts.
- new tests: doctor bootstrap checks, hook push-gate + deadline, concurrent
  sweep claims, cache eviction, bound-source resolve.

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

* fix(bootstrap): origin-ownership gate, world visibility, collision-safe source id, consent + templates

- repo adoption requires an exact receipt repo_url match or authed-owner
  check (undefined repo_url was a wildcard); create verifies privacy BEFORE
  the first push.
- verify sets facts.default_visibility=world if unset, so agent-authored
  facts surface in per-turn context (they defaulted private before).
- source_id derives a path-hash suffix when 'workspace' is taken by another
  checkout; every consumer reads manifest.source_id.
- skipped HOOKS_CONSENT now declines (was falling through to default yes);
  --minimal refuses on an initialized manifest; tilde fences escaped.
- MCP registration pins --surface full; status hard-fails a public origin
  (template door); receipt writers guard against newer/corrupt receipts;
  uninstall only claims brain-deleted after a real rm.
- templates ship jobs disabled + provider-consent + support-relay lines;
  soul-audit re-runs over the shared interview bank. TODOS: 11 follow-ups.

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

* fix(security): close adversarial-review findings — scan fails closed, whole-PEM redaction, bound repo push

Cross-model adversarial pass (Claude + Codex) on the bootstrap wave:

- secret scan fails CLOSED: an unreadable, oversized, or binary staged blob
  now blocks the push (blocked_unscannable, exit 5) instead of committing
  unscanned; only a confirmed staged deletion is skipped. This was the
  headline "block secrets before they leave the machine" property failing open.
- private-key redaction spans the whole PEM block (header+body+footer), not
  just the header line — the base64 body no longer survives into the corpus
  the sweep sends to an extraction provider.
- bootstrap repo commits the workspace (secret-scan-gated) before the first
  push and verifies the remote actually received it, so a push-fail retry
  can't adopt an empty remote as success.
- privacy verify is re-bound to origin immediately before push (a concurrent
  origin rewrite between verify and push is refused).
- session-end corpus write is atomic and clears the stale ingested/in-progress
  sidecars so a resumed session's appended transcript is re-ingested.
- public-origin refusal enforced at render (not only status); MCP "already
  registered" is verified to target this workspace, not blessed blindly;
  verify probe cleanup scopes deletes to its own slugs, not a token substring;
  allowlist fingerprint floor raised 8→16 hex.

* v0.45.0.0 feat(bootstrap): paste-in personal-agent install for Codex + Claude Code

Turns a Codex or Claude Code session into a persistent personal agent:
interview-rendered identity files, a local PGLite brain, per-turn context via
serve IPC (Claude Code hooks / Codex pull protocol), session-triggered
persistence, and a private GitHub repo as the agent's portable body. Keyless-
first (the harness model is the LLM; one optional key adds embeddings +
extraction). New `gbrain bootstrap` command family + `gbrain hook` + `gbrain
sweep`; doctor bootstrap health checks; latest-stable distribution ref +
template-repo publish job. Opt-in, additive — existing installs untouched.

* fix: regenerate flag registry for security-fix flags; drop fabricated gbrain capabilities doc ref

CI caught two real failures under the merged state:
- the flag registry lagged the blocked_unscannable/exit-5 flags the security
  round added, tripping the #2185 freshness guard.
- headless-install.md described the keyless capability report as a
  `gbrain capabilities` command, which the #3502 doc-command resolver
  rejects — reworded to prose (the real surface is bootstrap verify's report).

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

* docs: sync KEY_FILES + bootstrap plan to security-fix behavior

Cross-referenced the security-fix round against the reference docs and
corrected the drift those commits introduced:

- workspace-push.ts entry: stage-FIRST-then-scan order (the TOCTOU fix),
  fail-closed blocked_unscannable, and the sources-push status -> exit-code map.
- hooks.ts entry: MCP registration pins `serve --surface full`.
- hook.ts entry: session-start/session-end pushes run in a detached child
  (non-blocking); atomic corpus write clears stale sidecars.
- bootstrap.ts entry: render hard-refuses a public origin (template door).
- verify.ts entry: source_id collision resolution (workspace-<path-hash>).
- AGENT_BOOTSTRAP_PLAN as-shipped delta note for the scan/stage reorder.

llms bundle unchanged (KEY_FILES is link-only); build:llms and
test/build-llms.test.ts green.

* fix(ci): silence SC2016 on the intentional askpass literal in release.yml

The one-shot GIT_ASKPASS script must contain literal $1 and
$TEMPLATE_REPO_PAT so they expand when /bin/sh runs it at git's credential
prompt, not when the outer shell writes the file — single quotes are correct.
Add a scoped shellcheck disable so actionlint passes.

* fix(skills): declare 'bootstrap my data' trigger in cold-start frontmatter

The doc reform added 'bootstrap my data' to cold-start's RESOLVER.md row (to
disambiguate data-bootstrap from agent-bootstrap) but not to the skill's own
frontmatter triggers, tripping the RESOLVER↔frontmatter round-trip contract
(resolver.test.ts). Declare it; regenerate skills.lock.json.

* feat(bootstrap): default per-turn hooks + search mode ON without a prompt

Installing gbrain for your coding agent IS the consent for the behaviors that
make it work, so stop re-litigating them with install-time questions whose
"no" defeats the product:

- Per-turn hooks (Claude Code) install ON by default — no prompt. Off-ramps:
  `--no-hooks` at install, `GBRAIN_HOOKS=0` at runtime, `bootstrap uninstall`.
  The "hooks installed" line now surfaces the kill switch so default-on is
  never silent. A persisted HOOKS_CONSENT=no (interview --skip) still declines.
- Search mode defaults to `balanced` silently (nobody knows the modes at
  install; `gbrain search modes` changes it any time).
- MCP scope stays the ONE deliberate prompt — project vs user is a real
  cross-repo privacy choice, not friction.

Marks the two consents `silent: true` in the question bank (new QuestionSpec
field), rewrites the runbook phases so the agent no longer asks them, adds the
`--no-hooks` flag (+ registry regen), and adds default-on / opt-out tests.

* test(bootstrap): real end-to-end coverage — cross-session recall, per-turn content, Codex door, realistic corpus

Closes the seven e2e gaps a coverage audit surfaced: the plumbing was
well-unit-tested but the product claims ("Codex works, context shows up every
turn with real content, it remembers across restarts, machine two recovers,
Postgres works") were unproven end to end. Test-only wave — zero src changes.

- Hermetic synthetic corpus (test/fixtures/bootstrap-corpus/ + a loader helper):
  12 interlinked pages (52 edges, timelines), 12 world/private beliefs, 8 gold
  queries — curated from the gbrain-evals synthetic corpora, 100% placeholder
  names, so recall is asserted on a real multi-entity brain instead of a
  2-node self-planted probe.
- GAP1 magic moment: author a fact via the real write path, disconnect the
  engine, reopen against the same DB, recall it — a real session boundary, not
  verify.ts's same-connection SQL read-back. Plus a source-isolation assertion.
- GAP2 per-turn content: hook-under-serve Pin 1 now seeds a known fact and
  asserts its text lands in the injected block AND private beliefs never do
  (was: empty brain, empty_block accepted as a pass).
- GAP3 Codex door: assert the rendered AGENTS.md carries the Gate-3 brain-first
  pull protocol; make the fake codex shim implement `mcp get` so the [FIX7]
  target-verification can actually fail; the Docker cold-machine harness now
  exercises the hooks/MCP registration step instead of skipping it.
- GAP4 corpus recall: turn-context + verify graph-floor/qrels run on the real
  multi-entity brain with real edges.
- GAP5 attach: machine-two now re-ingests the cloned brain/ into a fresh DB and
  recalls a fact authored only on machine one — the multi-device payoff.
- GAP6 keyed + Postgres (env-gated): real embeddings prove semantic recall a
  paraphrase query can reach but keyless BM25 cannot; bootstrap verify drives a
  real Postgres engine (skipIf DATABASE_URL/keys absent).
- GAP7 persistence: session-end runs the REAL push (not the mocked seam) to a
  local bare remote and the remote receives the content; a planted secret is
  blocked at the gate; the 15-min cron installs and fires a scan-gated push.

* test(bootstrap): real-agent e2e — drive the actual claude + codex binaries end to end

Closes the audit's biggest gap ("no real harness ever drives a turn"). Adapts
gstack's PTY/headless agent harness to prove the bootstrap install + smoke work
against the REAL binaries, not PATH shims. Test/CI/docs only — zero src changes.

- test/helpers/agent-harness.ts: hermetic clean-room child env (ported from
  gstack; drops CONDUCTOR_/CLAUDE_/GSTACK_/MCP_/GBRAIN_, promotes
  GSTACK_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY→ANTHROPIC_API_KEY), real-binary resolvers + auth
  probes, headless `claude -p --output-format stream-json` and `codex exec
  --json` turn runners, a gbrain stdio MCP-config writer, and a keyless brain
  seeder. + a fixture-parse unit test (no binary needed).
- test/e2e/bootstrap-real-claude.serial.test.ts: real `gbrain bootstrap`
  install → REAL `claude mcp add` (verified via `claude mcp get`) → verify
  exit 0 → a real `claude -p --mcp-config --strict-mcp-config` turn that
  invokes mcp__gbrain__search and answers from the brain (proven: toolCalls
  include mcp__gbrain__search, final text carries the seeded fact).
- test/e2e/bootstrap-real-codex.serial.test.ts: same install with REAL `codex
  mcp add` into a real ~/.codex/config.toml + Gate-3 pull-protocol assertion,
  then a real `codex exec --json` turn surfacing the fact (MCP or the pull-
  protocol shell path). Bounded retry absorbs codex's occasional MCP-call
  cancellation without softening the fact-requiring assertion.
- Everything hermetic (temp HOME/CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/CODEX_HOME/GBRAIN_HOME;
  real ~/.codex auth copied read-only) and skipIf-gated so it self-skips
  cleanly where the binaries/auth are absent.
- heavy-tests.yml: gated `real-agent-e2e` job (nightly/label, never the PR
  shard; no-op on a runner without authed binaries).
- TODOS: compiled `gbrain` binary can't serve a PGLite brain (bun compile
  omits the WASM/extension payloads); harness falls back to `bun run` serve.

Verified against live claude 4.6 + codex 0.147.0: 15 pass / 0 fail; verify
36/36; typecheck clean.

* fix(ci): real-agent-e2e job — bash array + --timeout (actionlint SC2086 + bun-test-timeout guard)

The real-agent-e2e job's file loop used an unquoted $FILES (SC2086) and ran
`bun test` without --timeout (check-bun-test-timeout guard). Switch to a bash
array and add --timeout=600000 (real-agent turns are slow; the tests self-skip
without authed binaries so it's a no-op elsewhere).

* fix(pglite): embed WASM + extension assets so the compiled binary can serve

A `bun build --compile` gbrain binary could not `serve` a PGLite brain: the
compile bundles JS but not PGLite's runtime payload (pglite.wasm, initdb.wasm,
pglite.data, vector/pg_trgm tarballs), so `serve` on PGLite died with a
bunfs/ENOENT. Now the assets ride inside the binary.

- src/core/pglite-embedded-assets.ts: embeds the five assets via
  `import … with { type: 'file' }` (the ENG-6 idiom) and exposes
  getEmbeddedPgliteOptions() → { pgliteWasmModule, initdbWasmModule, fsBundle,
  extensions:{vector,pg_trgm} }. WASM/fsBundle are consumed as bytes; the two
  extension tarballs are materialized to a content-addressed temp file (atomic,
  size-verified reuse) because PGLite reads them via fs.createReadStream, which
  cannot read a /$bunfs path. Unconditional (works in bun-run and compiled),
  so no fragile mode branch.
- src/core/pglite-engine.ts: static-import getEmbeddedPgliteOptions (engine
  path stays static per the engine-dynamic-import invariant); spread into both
  PGlite.create sites (initial + WAL-repair retry). The bunfs classifier stays
  as a backstop but no longer fires for a correct binary.
- scripts/check-pglite-embedded.sh (+ smoketest): compiles a focused binary and
  asserts it boots PGLite, CREATE EXTENSION vector/pg_trgm, and round-trips a
  page — wired into `bun run verify` (now 37 checks), check:all, and
  check:pglite-embedded. Fail-soft only when compile is unavailable.
- agent-harness.ts probeCompiledPglite now passes → the real-agent e2e uses the
  fast compiled MCP server. TODOS: the P2 "can't serve PGLite" item is closed.

Verified: fresh compiled binary ran `search`/`query` against a PGLite brain and
returned the seeded row (no bunfs/ENOENT); verify 37/37; pglite-engine 120/0
source-mode; typecheck clean; engine-dynamic-import + parity guards pass.
