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].

* 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.

* 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.

* 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].

* 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.

* 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.

* 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).

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

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

* 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.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.7 0e9f8814a5 feat: v0.16.0 — durable agent runtime (gbrain agent + subagent handler + plugin loader) (#258)
* refactor(mcp): extract buildToolDefs helper for subagent tool registry reuse

The inline operations.map(...) block in src/mcp/server.ts became the only
source of truth for agent-facing tool definitions. Extract into a reusable
exported helper so the v0.15 subagent tool registry can call it with a
filtered OPERATIONS subset instead of duplicating the shape.

Byte-for-byte equivalence regression pinned in test/mcp-tool-defs.test.ts —
legacy inline mapping kept verbatim inside the test so any future drift
between the new helper and the pre-extraction MCP schema fails loudly.

* feat(operations): subagent-aware OperationContext + put_page namespace

Adds three optional fields to OperationContext:
  - jobId?: number       — the currently running Minion job id
  - subagentId?: number  — the owning subagent job id for tool-dispatched calls
  - viaSubagent?: boolean — FAIL-CLOSED flag for agent-path gating

put_page now enforces a namespace rule when invoked on the subagent tool
dispatch path (viaSubagent=true): writes MUST target
`wiki/agents/<subagentId>/...`. Anchored, slash-boundary enforced so a
collision like `wiki/agents/12evil/...` can't impersonate subagent 12.

The check runs BEFORE the dry-run short-circuit so preview calls surface
the same rejection. Fail-closed: a missing subagentId with viaSubagent=true
rejects every slug rather than letting a dispatcher bug open a hole.

Existing callers unaffected — all three fields are optional and the legacy
put_page behavior is unchanged when viaSubagent is undefined/false.

12 regression + namespace tests pin:
  - local CLI writes (viaSubagent unset) accept arbitrary slugs
  - MCP writes (remote=true, viaSubagent unset) accept arbitrary slugs
  - subagent-path: anchored prefix accepted, wrong id rejected, prefix-
    collision defeated, leading-slash rejected, bare-prefix rejected,
    fail-closed on missing/NaN subagentId, permission_denied code emitted

* feat(schema): v0.15.0 subagent runtime tables + migration orchestrator

Adds three new tables for the durable LLM agent runtime:

  subagent_messages         — Anthropic message-block persistence.
                              Parallel tool_use blocks in one assistant
                              message live in content_blocks JSONB, not
                              across rows (fixes the (job_id, turn_idx, role)
                              misdesign codex caught in v0.13 drafting).

  subagent_tool_executions  — Two-phase tool ledger. INSERT pending before
                              execute, UPDATE complete/failed after. Replay
                              re-runs pending rows only if the tool is
                              idempotent (v1 ships only idempotent tools so
                              this is preventive).

  subagent_rate_leases      — Lease-based concurrency cap for outbound
                              providers (e.g. anthropic:messages). Stale
                              leases auto-prune on next acquire so crashed
                              workers can't strand capacity.

All DDL uses CREATE TABLE/INDEX IF NOT EXISTS — order-independent vs
PR #244's initSchema() reorder, and idempotent across fresh-install +
upgrade paths. Shipped in both src/schema.sql (Postgres) and
src/core/pglite-schema.ts (PGLite); schema-embedded.ts regenerated.

Migration orchestrator v0_15_0.ts (phases: schema → verify → record).
v0_14_0.ts is a no-op stub so the registry's version sequence stays
gapless (v0.14.0 shipped shell-jobs — code change, no DB migration).

10 unit tests for registry wiring, ordering, dry-run phase behavior, and
schema-embedded table presence. test/apply-migrations.test.ts updated for
the two new registry entries.

* feat(minions): emit child_done on every terminal + max_stalled per-job + terminal set fix

Three correctness fixes the v0.15 subagent aggregator spine depends on:

1. child_done emission on ALL terminal transitions, not just success.
   - completeJob already emitted on success — now also tags outcome='complete'.
   - failJob newly emits on terminal 'failed' or 'dead' (outcome='failed'|'dead',
     error=<text>), BEFORE the parent-terminal UPDATE so the EXISTS guard on
     the inbox INSERT doesn't skip it on fail_parent paths (codex catch).
   - cancelJob now emits outcome='cancelled' per descendant with a parent.
   - handleTimeouts now emits outcome='timeout' per timed-out child.
   ChildDoneMessage gains optional { outcome, error } — backwards compatible
   (legacy writers omitted them; consumers treat absent outcome as 'complete').

2. Parent-resolution terminal set now includes 'failed'.
   Pre-v0.15 the `NOT EXISTS (... status NOT IN ('completed','dead','cancelled'))`
   guard treated a failed child as still-pending, stranding aggregator parents
   that chose on_child_fail='continue' or 'ignore' in waiting-children forever.
   Expanded to {completed, failed, dead, cancelled} everywhere parent resolution
   reads child status (completeJob inline, failJob remove_dep + continue,
   cancelJob sweep, handleTimeouts sweep, and the resolveParent method itself).

3. MinionJobInput.max_stalled threads through MinionQueue.add() on INSERT.
   Column exists with default 1 — that is "first stall → dead", which defeats
   crash recovery for long-running handlers. Subagent children will set
   max_stalled: 3 to survive mid-run worker kills. Second-submitter under an
   idempotency-key hit does NOT mutate the existing row (codex-flagged
   footgun — first-submit options are load-bearing state).

13 unit tests pin: emission on each of completeJob/failJob/cancelJob/
handleTimeouts, insertion order on fail_parent, terminal-set expansion with
continue policy, max_stalled default + override + idempotency behavior.

E2E tier 1 (Postgres) passes 141 tests unchanged.

* feat(minions): rate-leases + waitForCompletion infra for v0.15 subagent

Two infrastructure modules the subagent handler spine depends on:

rate-leases.ts — lease-based concurrency cap for outbound providers
(anthropic:messages, openai:*, etc.). Counter-based limiters leak capacity
on worker crash; leases are owner-tagged rows with expires_at that
auto-prune on the next acquire. Two-phase: txn-scoped pg_advisory_xact_lock
guards the check-then-insert so concurrent acquires can't both win the
"last slot". renewLeaseWithBackoff retries 3x (250/500/1000ms) for mid-
call DB blips — on persistent failure the LLM-loop caller aborts with a
renewable error so the worker re-claims and the rate invariant is
preserved. Owner FK cascades clean up leases on job deletion.

wait-for-completion.ts — poll-until-terminal helper for CLI callers.
Minions' NOTIFY is worker-side only; `gbrain agent run --follow` polls
getJob() until status is {completed, failed, dead, cancelled}. TimeoutError
carries jobId + elapsedMs and does NOT cancel the job — the user can
inspect via `gbrain jobs get <id>` later. Supports AbortSignal for Ctrl-C
without throwing. Default pollMs is 1000 on Postgres, 250 on PGLite (inline
CLI has no network RTT).

21 unit tests cover: single/multi acquire under cap, rejection past cap,
release frees slot, different keys are independent, stale prune, cascade
on owner delete, renew bumps expires_at, renew on missing is false,
backoff path success + pruned short-circuit. waitForCompletion: fast-path
terminal, transitions mid-wait (completed/failed/cancelled), TimeoutError
shape, abort-signal early exit, non-existent job error.

* feat(minions): subagent ToolDef types + brain-tool registry (v0.15)

Types first so the handler has a stable contract:
  - SubagentHandlerData / AggregatorHandlerData — the two job.data shapes
  - ToolCtx (engine, jobId, remote, signal) + ToolDef (name, description,
    input_schema, idempotent, execute) — Anthropic-envelope, distinct from
    the MCP McpToolDef extraction landed earlier
  - ContentBlock discriminated union for subagent_messages.content_blocks
  - SubagentStopReason + SubagentResult emitted on terminal completion

brain-allowlist.ts derives one ToolDef per allow-listed OPERATION. Reuses
the ParamDef → JSONSchema shape from the MCP extraction in a local helper
(Anthropic's input_schema field diverges from MCP's inputSchema by a
character). The 11-name allow-list is read-safe + put_page — every
destructive / filesystem / identity-mutating op stays off by default.

put_page gets a namespace-wrapped tool schema: `slug` pattern = anchored
`^wiki/agents/<subagentId>/.+`. The server-side check in put_page op
(shipped in prior commit) is still the authoritative gate — the schema
just helps the model write correct slugs first-try. `subagentId` is
plumbed into the ToolCtx so the viaSubagent=true fail-closed path lights
up on every tool-dispatched put_page.

filterAllowedTools narrows a registry by subagent_def's allowed_tools
frontmatter field. Rejects unknown names at load time (no silent drop —
typos in a skills/subagents/*.md would otherwise ship to prod with a
tool silently missing).

18 tests pin: every allowlist name exists in OPERATIONS (catches upstream
rename), Anthropic name regex, put_page namespace pattern per-subagent,
execute() routes through the op handler with viaSubagent=true, out-of-
namespace put_page throws permission_denied, filter passes prefixed +
unprefixed names, rejects unknowns, deduplicates.

* feat(minions): subagent-audit JSONL + transcript renderer

Two small plumbing pieces the v0.15 subagent handler + `gbrain agent logs`
depend on:

subagent-audit.ts — JSONL-rotated audit log mirroring the shell-audit
pattern. Two event flavors: submission (one line per job submit) and
heartbeat (one line per turn boundary — llm_call_started / completed /
tool_called / tool_result / tool_failed). Heartbeats fix the "--follow on
a long Anthropic call shows nothing for 30 seconds" problem codex flagged.
Never logs prompts or tool inputs (PII risk — subagent input_vars may
carry user-supplied free text); DOES log tokens, ms_elapsed, tool_name,
first 200 chars of error text. Rotates weekly via ISO week. `readSubagent
AuditForJob` is the readback path for `gbrain agent logs` — scans the
current + prior week file so job boundaries across weeks still resolve.
`GBRAIN_AUDIT_DIR` overrides the default ~/.gbrain/audit/ for container
deploys.

transcript.ts — renders subagent_messages + subagent_tool_executions to
markdown. Message order is authoritative; tool rows splice under their
owning assistant tool_use by tool_use_id. Handles text, tool_use (with
pending / complete / failed execution rows), tool_result (skipped if
we already rendered the owning tool_use — avoids double-printing), and
unknown block types (fenced JSON dump for diagnostics). Output is
UTF-8-safe truncated at maxOutputBytes.

21 unit tests: ISO week filename rotation (incl. 2027-01-01 → W53-2026
boundary), submission + heartbeat write shapes, 200-char error cap, best-
effort write failure doesn't throw, readback filters by job_id and
sinceIso. Transcript: empty input, ordering, token line, tool_use +
complete/failed/pending execution rendering, truncation, unknown-block
diagnostic dump.

* feat(minions): subagent LLM-loop handler with crash-resumable replay

The main event: runs one Anthropic Messages API conversation with tool
use, persists every turn + tool execution, and resumes cleanly after a
worker kill anywhere in the loop.

Design points that carry the v0.15 guarantees:

  1. Two-phase tool persistence. INSERT status='pending' before dispatch,
     UPDATE to 'complete' or 'failed' after. subagent_messages rows are
     the canonical conversation; subagent_tool_executions rows are the
     canonical "did this tool run + what did it return". Either DB commit
     is atomic, so replay has a single source of truth.

  2. Replay reconciliation. If the last persisted message is an assistant
     with tool_use blocks AND no following synthesized user message, we
     crashed mid-dispatch. On resume, finish those tools first (respecting
     idempotent flag for 'pending' rows), synthesize the user turn, and
     THEN call the LLM again. Non-idempotent pending rows abort the job
     with a clear error — v0.15 ships only idempotent tools so this is
     preventive.

  3. Rate lease around every LLM call. acquireLease before, releaseLease
     after (both success and error paths). acquired=false throws
     RateLeaseUnavailableError — the worker treats it as a renewable
     error and re-claims later, so a temporary capacity cap doesn't fail
     the job terminally.

  4. Anthropic prompt caching. system block gets cache_control=ephemeral;
     the LAST tool def gets it too (Anthropic caches everything up to and
     including the marked block). ~10x cost reduction on multi-turn
     agents per the plan.

  5. Dual-signal abort. AbortSignal.any merges ctx.signal (timeout / lock
     loss / cancel) with ctx.shutdownSignal (worker SIGTERM). Both feed
     the Anthropic call's AbortSignal; mid-turn abort bails before the
     next LLM call with whatever turns are already persisted. Node ≥ 20
     has AbortSignal.any; older runtimes get a manual-merge polyfill.

  6. Injectable Anthropic client. The real SDK implements MessagesClient
     structurally; tests inject a FakeMessagesClient that scripts
     responses.

12 unit tests pin: no-tool happy path, single tool_use complete, tool
throws → failed row + loop continues, unknown tool name rejection,
max_turns cap, crash-then-resume with partial state, replay skips already-
complete tool execs without re-invoking execute, non-idempotent pending
rejects on resume, lease acquire + release roundtrip, RateLeaseUnavailable
under cap-full, missing prompt validation, allowed_tools unknown-name.

NOT in v0.15: refusal detection (stop_reason + content shape), stop_reason
=max_tokens partial recovery, mid-call lease renewal with backoff loop.
All three are documented as P2 items in the plan file.

* feat(minions): subagent_aggregator handler with mixed-outcome rendering

Claims AFTER all subagent children resolve — by then Lane 1B's queue
changes have posted one child_done message per terminal transition into
this job's inbox (complete / failed / dead / cancelled / timeout). The
aggregator reads those, builds a deterministic markdown summary, and
returns it as the handler result.

Not an LLM call in v0.15 — output is reproducible concatenation so
fan-out runs stay comparable. v0.16+ can add an LLM synthesis pass
behind an opt-in flag.

Contract:
  - empty children_ids → `(no children)` marker
  - missing child_done (shouldn't happen under v0.15 invariants but
    possible if a terminal-state path slipped past Lane 1B) → counted as
    failed with "no child_done message observed" error
  - non-complete outcomes: result is null in the output so no payload
    leaks alongside a failure label
  - children appear in the order children_ids was supplied
  - custom aggregate_prompt_template replaces the markdown header

13 unit tests cover: empty input, all-success, mixed outcomes, result
suppression on failure, missing child_done handling, order preservation,
custom template, progress + log emission, stringified JSONB payload
parsing, non-child_done inbox filtering, legacy-writer outcome fallback,
and internal helper edges.

* feat(minions): GBRAIN_PLUGIN_PATH loader + plugin-authors guide (v0.15)

Plumbing that makes Wintermute (and future downstream agents) day-1
usable on v0.15. Host repos drop a `gbrain.plugin.json` + `subagents/`
directory somewhere, set GBRAIN_PLUGIN_PATH (colon-separated like \$PATH),
and their custom subagent defs load at worker startup.

Path policy is strict: absolute paths only. Relative, ~-prefixed, and
URL-style (https://, file://) all rejected with warnings — the user
controls where plugins live. Non-existent paths and files (not dirs) are
warned and skipped so a typo doesn't crash worker startup.

Collision policy: left-wins. If two plugins ship a subagent with the same
name, the first one in GBRAIN_PLUGIN_PATH keeps it and the other gets a
warning naming both sources. Deterministic + debuggable.

Trust policy: plugins ship subagent defs ONLY. Cannot declare new tools,
cannot extend the brain allow-list, cannot override safety flags. The
subagent def's `allowed_tools:` frontmatter MUST subset the derived
registry — validation happens at load time (worker startup), not at
dispatch time, so a typo in a skill gives a loud startup error instead
of silently "tool never fires at 3am."

Manifest `plugin_version: "gbrain-plugin-v1"` locks the contract. Unknown
versions rejected. `subagents` field escape attempts (`../../../etc` etc)
rejected. gray-matter handles the markdown frontmatter parse — subagent
defs don't conform to the page schema, so we don't use parseMarkdown.

docs/guides/plugin-authors.md is the Wintermute-facing walkthrough.
Covers the minimum viable plugin shape, the three policies, the
frontmatter fields, known caveats (audit JSONL is local-only, tool calls
always run remote=true, put_page is namespace-scoped).

22 unit tests pin path rejection, missing/invalid manifest, unsupported
version, escape-attempt, basename fallback for missing frontmatter.name,
allowed_tools round-trip, unknown-tool rejection with validAgentToolNames,
empty env, multi-path, collision warning with left-wins, trimmed paths,
manifest-rejection as warning.

* feat(cli): gbrain agent run + logs + worker registration (v0.15 Lane 4H)

Three integration seams wired:

src/commands/agent.ts — \`gbrain agent run\`. Submits subagent jobs (or a
fan-out of N + aggregator) under the trusted-submit flag so the
PROTECTED_JOB_NAMES guard doesn't reject. Fan-out path creates the
aggregator first (so children can reference its id as parent), submits
each child with on_child_fail='continue' (required by Lane 1B's terminal-
set + child_done machinery), then jsonb_set's the aggregator's
children_ids. Short-circuits a 1-entry manifest to a single subagent
with no aggregator. Follow mode runs agent-logs streaming + waitFor
Completion in parallel and exits on terminal status; detach prints the
job id and exits. Ctrl-C is handled as detach, not cancel — the job
keeps running, consistent with durability invariants.

src/commands/agent-logs.ts — \`gbrain agent logs\`. Merges ~/.gbrain/audit/
subagent-jobs-*.jsonl (heartbeats + submissions) with subagent_messages
(persisted conversation) in one chronological stream. --follow polls at
1s and exits when the job hits terminal. --since accepts ISO-8601 OR
relative shorthand (5m / 1h / 2d). Writes transcript tail (full message
+ tool tree) only for terminal jobs, so mid-run --follow doesn't spam a
half-rendered transcript.

src/commands/jobs.ts registerBuiltinHandlers — matches the shell-handler
opt-in shape. GBRAIN_ALLOW_LLM_JOBS=1 registers the subagent +
subagent_aggregator handlers, then loads plugins from GBRAIN_PLUGIN_PATH
with validAgentToolNames pulled from BRAIN_TOOL_ALLOWLIST. Every plugin
warning + loaded-plugin line prints to stderr, mirroring the openclaw-
seam startup convention.

src/core/minions/protected-names.ts — subagent + subagent_aggregator
join the protected set. MCP submit_job returns permission_denied; only
trusted-CLI callers (with allowProtectedSubmit) can insert these rows.

src/cli.ts — adds 'agent' to CLI_ONLY + dispatches it like 'jobs'.

Test fallout: subagent-handler.test.ts + subagent-transcript.test.ts
helpers now submit under allowProtectedSubmit (they insert rows named
'subagent' directly against the queue). 23 new tests in agent-cli.test.ts
cover: flag parsing (including --detach implies !follow, --tools comma
split, -- terminator, unknown flag throw), --since parse (ISO, relative
5m/2h/1d, unparseable error), protected-name guard for all three names,
trusted-submit gate, and a fan-out integration check that verifies the
aggregator + children shape after --fanout-manifest.

* test(e2e): rename max_children test's spawned jobs off the protected 'subagent' name

The spawn-storm test submitted 50 literal-string 'subagent' children to
exercise the max_children row-lock serialization. In v0.15 'subagent' is
a PROTECTED_JOB_NAME (CLI-only; trusted submit required), so the old
literal submission now throws before reaching the row-lock check.

The test is about max_children semantics, not the v0.15 subagent runtime
specifically — rename the child name to 'child_worker' so the test
exercises the exact same queue.add path without tripping the new guard.

* chore(ship): v0.15.0 — VERSION, CHANGELOG, README, upgrading-agents, CLAUDE.md

Bumps VERSION → 0.15.0 and package.json → 0.15.0 (resolves the pre-existing
drift — on master, VERSION=0.14.0 but package.json=0.13.1; src/version.ts
reads package.json, so this is what the binary prints now).

CHANGELOG lands the release-summary entry in the GStack voice + the full
itemized change list (11 new modules, 3 new tables, queue correctness
fixes, trust-model additions, 159 new unit tests). Voice rules respected
— no em dashes, no AI vocabulary, real file names + real numbers.

README gets a "Durable agents: `gbrain agent` (v0.15)" section next to
the Minions block, with the three canonical CLI shapes (single run,
fanout-manifest, logs --follow) and a pointer to plugin-authors.md.

docs/UPGRADING_DOWNSTREAM_AGENTS.md gets a full v0.15.0 section covering
the four adoption steps downstream agents (Wintermute and similar) need:
(1) worker opt-in via GBRAIN_ALLOW_LLM_JOBS, (2) moving custom subagent
defs to a plugin repo, (3) replacing ephemeral subagent runs with durable
`gbrain agent run`, (4) the put_page namespace rule for agent-driven writes.

CLAUDE.md updated with concise per-file descriptions for every new module:
the handler, aggregator, audit, rate-leases, wait-for-completion,
transcript, plugin-loader, brain-allowlist, tool-defs extraction, agent
CLI + logs CLI, and the registerBuiltinHandlers wiring for subagent
handlers + plugin-loader.

Verified: binary builds (940 modules, 89ms compile), prints `gbrain 0.15.0`,
`gbrain agent --help` shows the new subcommand shape. 170 new tests pass
(full v0.15 surface). Full unit suite passes bar one parallel-load
flake on a pre-existing E2E (graph-quality, passes in isolation).

* feat(minions): drop GBRAIN_ALLOW_LLM_JOBS flag — subagent handlers always-on

The env flag was ceremony. Shell jobs need the flag because they execute
arbitrary CLI commands (RCE surface). Subagent jobs don't — they call the
Anthropic API with whatever ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is in env, so the key is
already the cost gate (no key → SDK fails on the first turn). And
who-can-submit is already protected by PROTECTED_JOB_NAMES +
TrustedSubmitOpts: MCP callers get permission_denied; only `gbrain agent
run` with allowProtectedSubmit can insert subagent / subagent_aggregator
rows. The flag added nothing the existing guards didn't already give us.

registerBuiltinHandlers now always registers subagent + subagent_aggregator
and loads GBRAIN_PLUGIN_PATH plugins. Worker startup prints:

  [minion worker] subagent handlers enabled

instead of the conditional enabled/disabled pair. Plugin discovery runs
unconditionally — empty PATH is a no-op.

README, CHANGELOG, docs/UPGRADING_DOWNSTREAM_AGENTS, CLAUDE.md, agent CLI
help text, and subagent handler docstring all updated to drop the flag
reference. Shell handler's GBRAIN_ALLOW_SHELL_JOBS gate is untouched —
separate concern (RCE, not billing).

Full suite: 1859 pass, 0 fail.

* docs: scrub private agent-fork name from all public artifacts

Enforces the rule added to CLAUDE.md (privacy section): never say
`Wintermute` in any CHANGELOG, README, doc, PR, or commit message.
Reader-facing copy says `your OpenClaw` (the term covers every
downstream OpenClaw deployment — Wintermute, Hermes, AlphaClaw — in
one umbrella the reader already recognizes). First-person /
origin-story copy says `Garry's OpenClaw` (honest that this is the
production deployment driving the feature, without exposing the
private agent's name).

Intentionally kept (these mentions define/test the rule itself):
  CLAUDE.md — the privacy rule section necessarily uses the literal
  name to define the restriction and examples
  test/plugin-loader.test.ts — fixture name in a plugin-loading test;
  renaming risks breaking assertion logic
  test/integrations.test.ts — the word appears in a privacy-regex
  test that explicitly enforces name redaction
  test/doctor-minions-check.test.ts — a comment referencing the rule
  CEO plan artifact at ~/.gstack/projects/… — private, not distributed

Binary builds (941 modules), 198/198 relevant tests pass, `gbrain --version`
prints `0.15.0`.

* chore: gitignore bun --compile artifacts with a glob, not specific hashes

Each `bun build --compile` emits a fresh hash-named `.*-*.bun-build` file
in cwd. The prior entries listed two specific hashes that were already
stale, so every build after those created a new untracked file requiring
manual cleanup.

Replace the two stale entries with `*.bun-build` so any current or future
compile artifact is ignored automatically.

Verified: ran `bun build --compile`, got two new `.*-*.bun-build` files,
`git status` stays clean.

* chore(ship): rename v0.15.0 → v0.16.0

gbrain master is at 0.14.2. Other 0.15.x PRs may land before/after
this one — we bump the minor (new capability) and lock to 0.16.0 so
ordering with concurrent work doesn't matter.

Touches:
- VERSION: 0.15.0 → 0.16.0
- package.json: 0.15.0 → 0.16.0
- Rename src/commands/migrations/v0_15_0.ts → v0_16_0.ts (+ all
  version strings inside + import in index.ts registry)
- Rename test/migrations-v0_15_0.test.ts → migrations-v0_16_0.test.ts
- test/apply-migrations.test.ts: skippedFuture lists now reference
  '0.16.0'
- test/put-page-namespace.test.ts + test/mcp-tool-defs.test.ts: Lane
  comment refs updated
- src/schema.sql + src/core/pglite-schema.ts: "v0.15.0" section
  comment updated; src/core/schema-embedded.ts regenerated
- CHANGELOG.md: top entry renamed to [0.16.0]; inline v0_15_0 /
  v0.15.0 refs swept
- docs/UPGRADING_DOWNSTREAM_AGENTS.md: section heading v0.15.0 → v0.16.0

Verified: `gbrain --version` prints 0.16.0, migration registry /
buildPlan / put_page / mcp-tool-defs / handlers tests all green
(49/49).

* docs: reframe v0.16 durability headline around OpenClaw crashes

"Laptop closed mid-run" framing implied a consumer workflow. Real pain is
OpenClaw subagents dying daily on worker kill, memory blip, or timeout.
Headline + README copy match the body now.

* chore: regenerate llms-full.txt after README copy change

Regen drift guard caught the README edit from 83beec4.
