   - Verify: `node --test src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/plan-milestone.test.ts`

+# T03: Migrate planning prompts to DB-backed tool guidance and extend rogue detection to roadmap/plan artifacts
+
+**Migrate planning prompts to DB-backed tool guidance and extend rogue detection to roadmap/plan artifacts**
+
+## What Happened
+
+I executed the T03 contract against the current repo state instead of the planner snapshot. First I verified the slice plan’s observability section already contained the required failure-path coverage, then read the five planning prompts, `auto-post-unit.ts`, and the existing prompt/rogue test files. The root gap was straightforward: milestone and adjacent planning prompts still contained direct file-writing language, while rogue-file detection only covered execute-task and complete-slice summary artifacts. I updated `plan-milestone.md` and `guided-plan-milestone.md` so they now route milestone planning through `gsd_plan_milestone` and explicitly forbid manual roadmap writes. I also updated `plan-slice.md`, `replan-slice.md`, and `reassess-roadmap.md` so those planning-era prompts consistently treat DB-backed tool state as the source of truth and stop implying that direct roadmap/plan edits are acceptable. On the enforcement side, I extended `detectRogueFileWrites()` in `src/resources/extensions/gsd/auto-post-unit.ts` to flag direct `ROADMAP.md` writes for `plan-milestone` when no milestone planning state exists in DB, and direct slice `PLAN.md` writes for `plan-slice` / `replan-slice` when no matching slice planning state exists. I preserved the existing execute-task and complete-slice logic. I then expanded `prompt-contracts.test.ts` with explicit assertions that the milestone and adjacent planning prompts reference the tool path and forbid manual roadmap/plan writes, and expanded `rogue-file-detection.test.ts` with positive/negative cases for roadmap and slice-plan rogue detection. The first verification run exposed two concrete issues only: my initial prompt assertions were too broad and matched the new explicit prohibition text, and I incorrectly imported a non-existent `updateMilestone` export. I fixed those specific problems by tightening the prompt assertions to test for the explicit prohibition language and switching the DB setup to `upsertMilestonePlanning()`. After that, the adapted task-level test command passed cleanly.
+
+## Verification
+
+I ran the task-level verification under the repository’s actual TypeScript harness: `node --import ./src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/resolve-ts.mjs --experimental-strip-types --test src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/prompt-contracts.test.ts src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/rogue-file-detection.test.ts`, and all 32 assertions passed. I also ran the literal slice-plan verification pieces individually. `node --test src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/prompt-contracts.test.ts` now passes directly. `node --test src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/rogue-file-detection.test.ts` still fails before reaching the test logic because `auto-post-unit.ts` imports `.js` sibling modules from TypeScript sources and direct `node --test` cannot resolve them without the repo’s resolver import; this is the same repo-local harness mismatch previously documented in T02, not a regression introduced by this task. Observability expectations for T03 are now met: prompt regressions fail explicitly in `prompt-contracts.test.ts`, and rogue roadmap/plan bypasses are surfaced immediately by `detectRogueFileWrites()` and its regression tests.
+
+## Verification Evidence
+
+| # | Command | Exit Code | Verdict | Duration |
+|---|---------|-----------|---------|----------|
+| 1 | `node --import ./src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/resolve-ts.mjs --experimental-strip-types --test src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/prompt-contracts.test.ts src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/rogue-file-detection.test.ts` | 0 | ✅ pass | 519ms |
+| 2 | `node --test src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/prompt-contracts.test.ts` | 0 | ✅ pass | 107ms |
+| 3 | `node --test src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/rogue-file-detection.test.ts` | 1 | ❌ fail | 103ms |
+
+
+## Deviations
+
+Used the repository’s existing TypeScript resolver harness for the authoritative task-level verification because `rogue-file-detection.test.ts` cannot run truthfully under bare `node --test` in this source tree. No functional deviation from the task scope otherwise.
+
+## Known Issues
+
+Direct `node --test src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/rogue-file-detection.test.ts` still fails with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` on `.js` sibling imports from TypeScript sources (`auto-post-unit.ts` → `state.js`) unless the repo resolver import is used. This harness mismatch predates this task and remains for T04 to account for when running the integrated slice suite. No T03-specific functional failures remain under the repo’s actual TS harness.
