The system triages accumulated captures at natural seams between tasks, classifies impact into five types (quick-task, inject, defer, replan, note), and proposes action with user confirmation. Dashboard shows pending capture count badge. Capture context injected into replan and reassess prompts (#512)
• Dynamic model routing — complexity-based model routing classifies units into light/standard/heavy tiers and routes to cheaper models when appropriate, reducing token consumption 20-50% on capped plans. Includes budget-pressure-aware routing, cross-provider cost comparison, escalation on failure, adaptive learning from routing history (rolling 50-entry window with user feedback support), and task plan introspection (code block counting, complexity keyword detection) (#579)
• Feature-branch lifecycle integration test — proves milestone worktrees branch from and merge back to feature branches, never touching main (#624)
• Discord integration parity with Slack — plus new remote-questions documentation (#620)

Fixed

• Absolute paths in auto-mode prompts — write-target variables now passed as absolute paths, eliminating LLM path confusion in worktree contexts that caused artifacts written to wrong location and loop detection (#627)
• Worktree lifecycle on mid-session milestone transitions (#616, #618)
• Eager template cache warming — prevents version-skew crash in long auto-mode sessions (#621)

2.18.0 - 2026-03-16

Added

• Milestone queue reorder — /gsd queue supports reordering milestone execution priority with dependency-aware validation, persistent ordering via .gsd/QUEUE-ORDER.json (#460)
• .gsd/KNOWLEDGE.md — persistent project-specific context file loaded into agent prompts. New /gsd knowledge command with rule, pattern, and lesson subcommands for adding entries (#585)
• Dynamic model discovery — runtime model enumeration from provider APIs (Ollama, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter) with per-provider TTL caching and discovery adapters. New ProviderManagerComponent TUI for managing providers with auth status and model counts (#581)
• Expanded preferences wizard — all configurable fields now exposed in the setup wizard, model ID validation, and updatePreferencesModels() for safe read-modify-write of model config (#580)
• Comprehensive documentation — 12 new docs covering getting started, auto-mode, commands, configuration, token optimization, cost management, git strategy, team workflows, skills, migration, troubleshooting, and architecture (#605)
• resolveProjectRoot() — all GSD commands resolve the effective project root from worktree paths instead of using raw process.cwd(), preventing path confusion across worktree boundaries (#602)
• 1,813 lines of new tests — 13 new test files covering discovery cache, model discovery, model registry, models-json-writer, auto-worktree, derive-state-deps, in-flight tool tracking, knowledge, memory leak guards, preferences wizard fields, queue order, queue reorder E2E, and stale worktree cwd

Fixed

• Heap OOM during long-running auto-mode sessions — four sources of unbounded memory growth: activity log serialized all entries for SHA1 dedup (now streaming writes with lightweight fingerprint), uncleaned activityLogState Map between sessions, unbounded completedUnits array (now capped at 200), and dirEntryCache/dirListCache growing without bounds (now evicted at 200 entries) (#611)
• Stale worktree cwd after milestone completion — three-layer fix: escapeStaleWorktree() at auto-mode entry, unconditional cwd restore in stopAuto(), and cwd restore on partial merge failure (#608)
• Worktree created from integration branch instead of main — createAutoWorktree reads integration branch from META.json, merge targets integration branch not hardcoded main (#606)
• Milestone merge skipped in branch isolation mode — branch-mode fallback detects milestone/* branch and performs squash-merge (#603)
• parseContextDependsOn() destroys unique milestone ID case — was lowercasing IDs, breaking dependency resolution (#604)
• Tool-aware idle detection — prevents false interruption of long-running tasks in auto-mode (#596)
• Remote questions onboarding crash — extracted saveRemoteQuestionsConfig into compiled src/ helper to avoid cross-boundary .ts import (#592)
• showNextAction crash — falls back to select() when custom() returns undefined (#447, #615)

Changed

• Comprehensive update to preferences reference and configuration guide (#614)
• Auto-mode artifact writes scoped to active milestone worktree, preventing cross-milestone pollution (#590)

2.17.0 - 2026-03-15

Added

• Token optimization profiles — budget, balanced, and quality presets that coordinate model selection, phase skipping, and context compression to reduce token usage by 40-60% on budget mode
• Complexity-based task routing — automatically classifies tasks as simple/standard/heavy and routes to appropriate models, with persistent learning from routing history
• git.commit_docs preference — set to false to keep .gsd/ planning artifacts local-only, useful for teams where only some members use GSD

Changed

• Updated Ollama cloud provider model catalog

Fixed

• Native binary hangs in GSD auto-mode paths (#453)
• Auto-mode can be stopped from a different terminal (#586)
• Parse cache collision causing false loop detection on complete-slice (#583)
• Exhaustive switch handling and cleanup in Google provider (#587)

2.16.0 - 2026-03-15

Added

• /gsd steer command — hard-steer plan documents during execution without stopping the pipeline
• Native git operations via libgit2 — ~70 fewer process spawns per dispatch cycle
• Native performance optimizations for deriveState, JSONL parsing, and path resolution
• Default model upgraded to Opus 4.6 with 1M context variant
• PR template and bug report issue template

Fixed

• Auto-mode continues after guided milestone planning instead of stalling at "Milestone planned"
• Git commands no longer fail when repo path contains spaces
• Arrow key cursor updates and Shift+Enter newline insertion in TUI
• Tool API keys loaded from auth.json at session startup
• TypeScript errors resolved across extension, test, and async-jobs files

Changed

• Hot-path lookup caching and error resilience optimizations
• Extension type-checking added to CI pipeline

2.15.1 - 2026-03-15

Fixed

• Auto-mode worktree path resolution — prompt templates now include working directory, preventing artifacts from being written to the wrong location and causing infinite re-dispatches
• Auto-mode resource sync detection — gracefully stops when resources change mid-session instead of crashing
• Auto-mode missing import for resolveSkillDiscoveryMode causing crash on startup
• Auto-mode recovery hardened — checkbox verification falls through correctly, corrupt roadmaps fail verification instead of silently passing, atomic writes for completed-units.json, and task completion verified via artifacts not just file existence
• Auto-mode progress widget now refreshes from disk every 5 seconds during unit execution instead of appearing frozen
• Undo command now invalidates all caches (not just state cache), preventing stale results after undoing completed tasks

Changed

• CI pipeline supports prerelease publishing with --tag next for testing before stable release

Added

• Unit tests for auto-dashboard, auto-recovery, and crash-recovery modules (46 new tests)

2.15.0 - 2026-03-15

Added

• 8 new commands: budget enforcement, notifications, and quality-of-life improvements (#441)
• Preferences schema validation: detects unknown/typo'd preference keys and surfaces warnings instead of silently ignoring them (#542)
• Pipeline-aware prompts: each agent phase (research, plan, execute, complete) now knows its role in the pipeline, eliminating redundant code exploration between phases (#543)
• Research depth calibration: three-tier system (deep/targeted/light) so agents match effort to actual complexity (#543)

Changed

• Auto-mode decomposed into focused modules for maintainability (#534)
• Dispatch logic extracted from if-else chain to dispatch table (#539)
• v1 migration code gated behind dynamic import — only loaded when needed (#541)
• Background shell module decomposed into focused modules
• Unified cache invalidation into single invalidateAllCaches() function (#545)

Fixed

• Executor agents now receive explicit working directory, preventing writes to main repo instead of worktree (#543)

• Hardcoded ANSI escapes replaced with chalk for consistent terminal handling (#482)

2.14.4 - 2026-03-15

Fixed

• Session cwd update — newSession() now updates the LLM's perceived working directory to reflect process.chdir() into auto-worktrees. Previously the system prompt was frozen at the original project root, causing the LLM to cd back and write files to the wrong location. This was the root cause of complete-slice and plan-slice loops in worktree-based projects.

2.14.3 - 2026-03-15

Fixed

• Copy planning artifacts into new auto-worktrees — createAutoWorktree now copies .gsd/milestones/, DECISIONS.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, PROJECT.md from the source repo into the worktree. Prevents plan-slice loops in projects with pre-v2.14.0 .gitignore.

2.14.2 - 2026-03-15

Fixed

• Dispatch reentrancy deadlock — _dispatching flag was never reset after first dispatch, permanently blocking all subsequent unit dispatches. Wrapped in try/finally.
• .gitignore self-heal — existing projects with blanket .gsd/ ignore now auto-remove it on next auto-mode start, replacing with explicit runtime-only patterns so planning artifacts are tracked in git.
• Discuss depth verification — render summary as chat text (markdown renders), use ask_user_questions for short confirmation only.

2.14.1 - 2026-03-15

Fixed

• Quiet auto-mode warnings — internal recovery machinery (dispatch gap watchdog, model fallback chain) downgraded to verbose-only. Users only see warnings when action is needed.
• Dispatch recovery hardening — artifact fallback when completion key missing, TUI freeze prevention, reentrancy guard, atomic writes, stale runtime record cleanup

2.14.0 - 2026-03-15

Added

• Discussion manifest — mechanical process verification for multi-milestone context discussions
• Session-internal /gsd config — configure GSD settings within a running session
• Model selection UI — select list instead of free-text input for model preferences
• Startup performance — faster GSD launch via optimized initialization

Changed

• Branchless worktree architecture — eliminated slice branches entirely. All work commits sequentially on milestone/<MID> within auto-mode worktrees. No branch creation, switching, or merging within a worktree. ~2600 lines of merge/conflict/branch-switching code removed.
• .gitignore overhaul — planning artifacts (.gsd/milestones/) are tracked in git naturally. Only runtime files are gitignored. No more force-add hacks.
• Multi-milestone enforcement — depends_on frontmatter enforced in multi-milestone CONTEXT.md

Fixed

• Auto-mode loop detection failures — artifacts on wrong branch or invisible after branch switch no longer possible (root cause eliminated by branchless architecture)
• Nested worktree creation — auto-mode no longer creates worktrees inside existing manual worktrees, preventing wrong-repo state reads and "All milestones complete" false positives
• Dispatch recovery hardening — artifact fallback when completion key missing, TUI freeze prevention on cascading skips, reentrancy guard, atomic writes, stale runtime record cleanup, git index.lock cleanup
• Hook orchestration — finalize runtime records, add supervision, fix retry
• Empty slice plan stays in planning — no longer incorrectly transitions to summarizing
• Prefs wizard — launch directly from /gsd prefs, fix parse/serialize cycle for empty arrays
• Discussion routing — /gsd discuss routes to draft when phase is needs-discussion

Removed

• ensureSliceBranch(), switchToMain(), mergeSliceToMain(), mergeSliceToMilestone()
• shouldUseWorktreeIsolation(), getMergeToMainMode(), buildFixMergePrompt()
• withMergeHeal(), recoverCheckout(), fix-merge unit type
• git.isolation and git.merge_to_main preferences (deprecated with warnings)

2.13.1 - 2026-03-15

Fixed

• Windows: multi-line commit messages in mergeSliceToMilestone broke shell parsing — switched to execFileSync with argument arrays
• Windows: single-quoted git arguments and bash-only redirects in test files
• Windows: worktree path normalization for shouldUseWorktreeIsolation and stale branch detection

2.13.0 - 2026-03-15

Added

• Worktree isolation for auto-mode — auto-mode creates isolated git worktrees per milestone, with --no-ff slice merges preserving commit history and squash merge to main on milestone completion
• Self-healing git repair — automatic recovery from detached HEAD, stale locks, and orphaned worktrees
• Worktree-aware doctor — git health diagnostics and worktree integrity checks
• Isolation preferences — choose between worktree and branch isolation modes

Fixed

• Dispatch loop: parse cache stale data — dispatchNextUnit() cleared path cache but not parse cache, allowing stale roadmap checkbox state to persist through doctor→dispatch transitions (#462)
• Dispatch loop: completion not persisted after agent session — handleAgentEnd() now verifies artifacts and persists the completion key before re-entering the dispatch loop, preventing re-dispatch when deriveState() sees pre-merge branch state (#462)
• Dispatch loop: recovery counter reset without persistence — loop-recovery and self-repair paths now persist completion keys and include a hard lifetime dispatch cap of 6 (#462, #463)
• Dispatch loop: non-execute-task units had no artifact verification — complete-slice, plan-slice, and other unit types now verify artifacts on disk before bail-out (#465)
• @ file autocomplete debounced to prevent TUI freeze on large codebases (#452)
• Guard against newer synced resources from future versions (#445)
• Prevent web_search tool injection for non-Anthropic providers serving Claude models (#446)

2.12.0 - 2026-03-15

Added

• Parallel tool calling — tools from a single assistant message execute concurrently by default, with sequential mode as opt-in (toolExecution: "sequential") and beforeToolCall/afterToolCall hooks for interception
• Ollama Cloud as model and web tool provider
• Extensible hook system for auto-mode state machine — post-unit hooks fire after unit completion
• Event queue settlement for parallel tool execution — extension tool_call/tool_result handlers always see settled agent state

Changed

• Inline static templates into prompt builders, eliminating ~44 READ tool calls per milestone

Fixed

• Auto-mode dispatch loop when cachedReaddir returns stale data after unit writes files
• Parse and path caches cleared alongside state cache after unit completion
• bg_shell hangs indefinitely when ready_port server fails to start — now transitions to error state with stderr context
• Em dash and slash characters in milestone/slice titles corrupting GSD state management
• Guided-flow self-heals stale runtime records from crashed auto-mode sessions on wizard start
• CI smoke test ANSI code stripping

2.11.1 - 2026-03-15

Fixed

• URGENT: auto-mode loops on research-slice and plan-slice — handleAgentEnd called invalidateStateCache() but not clearPathCache() or clearParseCache(). The in-process directory listing cache in paths.ts retained the pre-subagent empty directory snapshot, so resolveSliceFile() returned null for artifacts the subagent had just written. This caused dispatchNextUnit to re-dispatch the same unit (research-slice or plan-slice) instead of advancing, incrementing the dispatch counter until the MAX_UNIT_DISPATCHES=3 limit triggered a hard stop with "Loop detected" (#421)

2.11.0 - 2026-03-14

Added

• Cross-provider fallback when rate or quota limits are hit (#125)

2.10.12 - 2026-03-14

Added

• Multi-milestone readiness flow with per-milestone discussion gate (#377)

Fixed

• Fix npx gsd-pi@latest failing with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND: Cannot find package '@gsd/pi-coding-agent'. The loader now creates workspace package symlinks at runtime before importing, so it works even when npx skips postinstall scripts (#380)

2.10.11 - 2026-03-14

Fixed

• Hoist workspace package dependencies (undici, anthropic SDK, openai, chalk, etc.) into root dependencies so they install for end users. v2.10.10 removed bundleDependencies but didn't promote the transitive deps (#376)
• Add undici as root dependency to resolve startup crash (#372)
• Check GROQ_API_KEY before entering voice mode to prevent crash (#367)

2.10.10 - 2026-03-14

Added

• Linux voice mode: Groq Whisper API backend for fast, accurate speech-to-text (#366)
• Opus 4.6 1M as default model, model selector UX improvements, Discord onboarding (#290)

Fixed

• Fix broken npm install / npx gsd-pi@latest caused by unpublished @gsd/* workspace packages leaking into npm dependencies. Workspace cross-references removed from published package metadata; packages resolve via bundled node_modules/ at runtime (#369)
• Add pre-publish tarball install validation (validate-pack) to CI and publish pipeline, preventing broken packages from reaching npm
• Handle empty index after runtime file stripping in squash-merge (#364)
• Add retry logic for transient network/auth failures instead of crashing (#365)
• Auto-mode: stale lock detection, SIGTERM handler, live-session guard (#362)

2.10.9 - 2026-03-14

Added

• Team collaboration: multiple users can work on the same repo without milestone name clashes by checking in .gsd/ planning artifacts (#338)

Changed

• Execute-task loop detection uses adaptive reconciliation instead of hard-stopping, reducing false positives (#342)

• .gsd/ planning artifacts force-added and handleAgentEnd reentrancy guarded (#341)

2.10.8 - 2026-03-14

Fixed

• Publish verification checks dist/loader.js is non-empty (-s) and uses --ignore-scripts on npm pack --dry-run to match actual publish behaviour (#298)

2.10.7 - 2026-03-14

Added

• GitHub Workflows skill with CI workflow template and ci_monitor tool (#294)
• Auto-resolve merge conflicts via LLM-powered fix-merge session
• Auto-update integration branch when user starts auto-mode from a different branch (#300)

Changed

• Task isolation for subagent filesystem safety (#254)
• Native Rust streaming JSON parser (#266)
• Web search provider selection added to onboarding wizard (#278)

Changed

• Simplified onboarding into two-step auth flow — plain language instead of OAuth jargon (#274)

Fixed

• optionalDependencies in published gsd-pi@2.10.4 were still pinned to 2.10.2, causing users to install the broken engine binaries that 2.10.4 was meant to fix (#276)
• Auto-resolve .gsd/ planning artifact conflicts during slice merge (#264)
• Use version ranges for native engine optional dependencies (#286)
• Guard publish against uncommitted version sync changes

2.10.4 - 2026-03-13

Fixed

• Native binary distribution — .node binaries were missing from the npm tarball, causing startup crashes on all platforms since v2.10.0
• Native loader resolution chain: tries @gsd-build/engine-{platform} npm package first, then local dev build, with clear error messages listing supported platforms

Added

• Native Rust diff engine — fuzzy text matching (fuzzyFindText, normalizeForFuzzyMatch) and unified diff generation (generateDiff) via the similar crate, replacing the diff npm package
• Native Rust GSD file parser — frontmatter parsing, section extraction, batch .gsd/ directory parsing, and structured roadmap parsing with transparent JS fallback

2.10.1 - 2026-03-13

Fixed

• @gsd/native package ships pre-compiled JavaScript instead of raw TypeScript, fixing startup crashes on Node.js 20, 22, and 24 (#248)

2.10.0 - 2026-03-13

Added

• Native Rust engine with high-performance N-API modules replacing JS/WASM dependencies:

• Build pipeline runs workspace packages in dependency order before GSD compilation.
• Removed patch-package from devDependencies and postinstall.

2.6.0 - 2026-03-12

Added

• Proactive secret management — planning phase forecasts required API keys into a manifest; auto-mode collects pending secrets before dispatching the first slice
• --continue / -c CLI flag to resume the most recent session

Fixed

• Doctor post-hook no longer preempts complete-slice dispatch
• main_branch preference restored; runPreMergeCheck implemented for merge safety
• Recovery/retry prompt injection capped to prevent V8 OOM on large sessions
• .gsd/ excluded from pre-switch auto-commits to prevent squash merge conflicts

2.5.1 - 2026-03-12

Added

• secure_env_collect now auto-detects existing keys, destination files, and provides guidance field for better onboarding UX

Changed

• Right-sized pipeline for simple work — single-slice milestones skip redundant research/plan sessions, reducing 9-10 sessions to 5-6
• Heavyweight plan sections (Proof Level, Integration Closure, Observability) are now conditional, omitted for simple slices

Fixed

• Squash-merge now aborts cleanly on conflict and stops auto-mode instead of looping with corrupted state
• Resolved baked-in merge conflict markers in loader.ts, logo.ts, and postinstall.js

2.5.0 - 2026-03-12

Added

• Native Anthropic web search — Claude models get server-side web search automatically, no Brave API key required
• GitService fully wired into codebase — programmatic git operations replace shell-based git commands in prompts
• Merge guards prevent slice completion when uncommitted changes or conflicts exist
• Snapshot support for saving and restoring .gsd/ state
• Auto-push after slice squash-merge to main
• Rich commit messages with structured metadata

Fixed

• State machine deadlock when units fail to produce expected artifacts — retry and cross-validation now gate completion
• Duplicate Brave search tools when toggling providers repeatedly
• Windows test glob patterns (single quotes → unquoted for shell expansion)
• Conversation replay error caused by thinking blocks in stored history
• Brave search tools removed from API payload when no BRAVE_API_KEY is set
• Restore notifications suppressed on session resume to reduce UX noise

2.3.10 - 2026-03-12

Added

• Branded postinstall experience with animated spinners, progress indicators, and clean summary (#115)

Fixed

• Ctrl+Alt shortcuts (dashboard, bg manager, voice) now show slash-command fallback in terminals that lack Kitty keyboard protocol support — macOS Terminal.app, JetBrains IDEs (#100, #104)

2.3.9 - 2026-03-12

Added

• Tavily as alternative web search provider alongside Brave Search (#102)

Added

• Remote user questions via Slack/Discord for headless auto-mode sessions

Fixed

• Auto-mode model switches no longer persist as the user's global default (#30)
• Auto-mode resume now rebuilds disk state and runs doctor before dispatching, preventing inline execution after pause (#16)
• Silent dispatch failure when command context is null now surfaces an error notification
• Race condition between timeout handlers and prompt dispatch in auto-mode
• Remote questions: validate IDs before test-send, sanitize error messages to prevent token leakage
• Remote questions: cap user_note at 500 chars to prevent LLM context injection
