startLowRiskFacadeReview wrote docs/ordinary-guide.md raw, so after Gentleman-Programming#2394
made an untracked path enter the candidate only once the user declared it,
the helper produced an empty candidate. Six lifecycle tests only kept
passing because START still accepted that shape — the very shape the
preflight guard now refuses. Stage the file through
writeReviewStartCandidate so each caller reviews a real low-risk
candidate.

…ection

Negotiated status classified a clean workspace as a fresh target and returned
an executable review.start whose projection froze zero paths. The facade
refuses exactly that candidate in preflight with empty_candidate_scope and
names base_ref as the input it needs, but the refusal had no way back into the
classification: querying status again returned the identical START, so status
and preflight disagreed forever and the caller could never supply the base.

Route that one candidate to a base_ref collection instead, and — exactly like
the refusal it replaces — name the base without deriving it, so the caller
keeps choosing the review scope.

The status contract validated the same classification separately and demanded
an executable START for every fresh target that was not already stopping, so
it learns about the collection too; otherwise the same disagreement would move
from preflight into status validation.

Closes Gentleman-Programming#2584
# Conflicts:
#	e2e/e2e_test.sh
…vidence

Code selectors (page.getByText(...).click()) confirm what text gets
clicked, never where it sits on screen. The skill assumed 'Ventas y
Compras' was a sidebar item when a real screenshot showed it's a top
header menu. Adds a rule to omit spatial claims (lateral/superior/header)
unless backed by a screenshot or explicit human confirmation.
…atomic action

Prose sentences were bundling multiple distinct clicks/actions together
under a single step (e.g. 'Dirigete al menu y selecciona X. Haz clic en
Y.' as one paragraph). Splits each atomic action into its own bullet
under the step title -- pure formatting, no new or removed content.
…datory self-check

The QA-route rule only existed in opencode's conductor (claude's never had
it), and even there it was buried mid-file as 4 scattered sentences with
only 4 literal trigger phrases -- unreliable because nothing forced the
model to check it and narrow phrasing missed most real requests.

Replaces it with one prominent MANDATORY self-check table at the top of
Delegation Rules, in both claude and opencode conductors, covering 6
intent categories matched by meaning instead of literal wording: new
automation case, broken test from a flow change, impact analysis, flaky
CI test triage, Screenplay/POM refactor, and coverage lookup (routed to
qa-doc-access instead of creating anything new).

Updates the Kilocode settings golden baseline, which embeds the same
OpenCode conductor content.
… level

Same silent bug as qa-doc-reference: the skill was registered in the
catalog but never added to presets.go's foundationSkills, so gentle-ai
sync never installed it -- it was never actually available to invoke.

Also adds NIVEL 2 (inspeccionar el DOM en vivo) for when GitLab source
search can't resolve a locator (runtime-generated elements, third-party
UI components, API-loaded content): extract the live DOM of the running
app and apply the same attribute-priority rule as GitLab hunting.
…-locator-hunting

These 4 skills were added to foundationSkills across earlier commits
without regenerating the TUI's canonical skill list and golden snapshots,
leaving TestSkillPickerCanonicalRowsAndActions and the two custom-preset
goldens silently stale until the full suite ran again.
Add references/erp-mf-catalog.md (canonical + embedded mirror) seeding
14 unverified erp-mf-* rows with routing vocabulary for domain-to-project
resolution, and extend assets_test.go expectedFiles to guard the new
asset embeds.

Phase 1 of 3 in the qa-locator-repo-catalog stacked chain.
…alog

The design shipped gitlab_path as an "unknown" placeholder for all 14 rows
because it couldn't reach the sibling fork's repository registry. Those
paths (SmartClic/erp-mf-*) are independently confirmed via that registry
and are filled in here, still marked Verificado: unverified since none
were re-checked against live GitLab this session.
Per explicit user decision, mark all 14 erp-mf-* rows as verified with
today's date rather than shipping unverified. Note: this is not a live
GitLab search_projects confirmation — it reflects the user's acceptance
of the sibling fork's registry as the data source. If live GitLab later
disagrees with any row, D1 (live GitLab always wins) still applies.
Replace the stale 4-domain mapping table in Step 1 with catalog-first
resolution: read references/erp-mf-catalog.md for domain vocabulary,
confirm the slug live via search_projects (D1 wins on conflict), fall
back to search_projects on missing/ambiguous/404 rows (D2 never gates
the hunt), and surface drift on both the in-answer note and a durable
Engram record (D3). Applied identically to both SKILL.md copies.
…d-explore/sdd-design

Both SKILL.md copies already delegate UI locator resolution to the
qa-locator-hunting skill in the same sentence. Delete the redundant
inline comun/logistica/puntoventa/facturacion domain:project shorthand
now that the skill owns catalog-first resolution (PR2), keeping the
delegation and the rest of the pre-flight guidance intact.

…ig/opencode

install --scope workspace passed the workspace root through the same
ConfigPath used for the global scope, which always appended .config/opencode
(the XDG convention meant for a real home directory). OpenCode never reads
that tree for a workspace; its project-local convention is <workspace>/.opencode
(same path openspec's own installer already uses). Skills, settings and
commands installed via --scope workspace were silently unreachable by OpenCode.

ConfigPath now compares homeDir against the real user home directory: when
they differ (workspace scope), it returns <homeDir>/.opencode; when they
match (global scope), XDG/.config/opencode behavior is unchanged.
… invocable

OpenCode Skills require a paired .opencode/commands/*.md slash command to be
triggered by natural language; SKILL.md alone is never auto-invoked (unlike
Claude Code). qa-supervisor and its 4 sibling skills had no command wrapper,
so they were installed but silently unreachable in real usage.

Add thin wrapper commands following the fork's established pattern
(skill-creator.md) for qa-supervisor, qa-locator-hunting, qa-doc-access,
qa-doc-reference, and qa-evidence.
…ver source hunt

qa-explore now invokes qa-locator-hunting automatically for any Target it
can't resolve from the POM during G2 analysis, instead of leaving it as a
gap for qa-spec/qa-apply to hit later. This lets the spec and Screenplay+POM
design come out exact on the first pass.

Reorder qa-locator-hunting's hunting levels: live DOM inspection via
Playwright MCP (with project credentials, env-resolved URL) is now level 1,
promoted ahead of the GitLab source-code hunt (now level 2) — it reflects
what the screen actually renders, including runtime-generated elements.
Formalize the honest-fallback into 3 explicit questions for the human when
all levels are exhausted.
…design

qa-explore never inventoried existing fixtures or playwright.config.ts
projects/storageState/dependencies during G2, and qa-spec never asked
for a reuse decision on them during G3 — unlike Targets/Tasks, which
already had this rigor. Specs silently skipped reusing session/login
setup already handled by an existing "setup" project, or an existing
fixture under src/fixtures/**, and never proposed creating one when
missing.

Add a mandatory G2 step to qa-explore that inventories fixtures and
playwright.config.ts storageState/dependencies, and a mandatory G3
section to qa-spec that declares which fixture/storageState a
scenario reuses or justifies creating — mirroring the existing
Screenplay+POM reuse discipline.
qa-supervisor's delegation step only said "pass the digested task" with
no concrete artifact, and never persisted its Regla Cero findings
(BookStack citations) anywhere qa-explore could read them. qa-explore's
own "context from memory" step searched a `qa/{change}/...` key that
`{change}` itself was never defined or generated, so it always missed
and qa-explore re-ran the same BookStack search from scratch.

qa-supervisor now generates a stable `{change}` slug at intake, persists
a supervisor-handoff artifact (interpreted requirement + BookStack
citations + identified files) via mem_save before delegating, and passes
it in the task() message. qa-explore now reads that handoff first and
only searches BookStack for what it doesn't cover, instead of repeating
Regla Cero's search.
qa-orchestrator's injected system prompt (the actual always-on content,
distinct from the qa-supervisor SKILL.md that only loads via the
/qa-supervisor slash command) had a "QA-automation self-check" routing
table that sent test-creation and test-modification intents straight to
qa-explore -> qa-spec -> qa-apply -> qa-verify, completely bypassing
qa-supervisor. That means any request handled by this table's default
routing (not going through the slash command) skipped Regla Cero and
the human plan-approval gate entirely.

Route the two creation/modification rows (new case, broken test) and
the Screenplay/POM refactor row through qa-supervisor first, which then
delegates onward itself. Leave the two read-only rows (impact analysis,
flaky triage) and the coverage-query row unchanged, since they don't
create or modify code and have no gate to enforce.
…hestrator-v2

Phase 0 of qa-orchestrator-v2 (PR1/13): hand-author a vocabulary-less
Begin->Finish->Begin(advance)->Finish runtime ledger chain directly through
runtimeRecord/runtimeBeginEvent/runtimeFinishEvent/runtimeAdvanceEvent and
commit its exact persisted bytes plus the replayed RuntimeStatus JSON as
golden fixtures. This baselines today's behavior and will gate every later
phase that edits runtime_ledger.go (stage vocabulary ordering, approval
gate): any additive field that leaks into a vocabulary-less chain, or any
change to admission/replay ordering for a vocabulary-less predecessor, fails
this test first.

Records are constructed without a live git repo so every byte is a pure
function of fixed literal inputs (no wall clock, no host temp-directory
path), keeping the fixtures reproducible across machines and runs.

Explanation

Issue #10 requires a Linux installation step that creates /usr/local/bin/engram as a symlink to the installed Go binary. It also requires a clear PATH warning when symlink creation fails. The reviewed changes add Stage and StageVocabulary, envelope parsing wrappers, QA assets, and related documentation. They do not modify the Linux installation sequence or implement either installation requirement.

Resolution

Add the Linux CommandSequence step in the installation flow. Create /usr/local/bin/engram from the first GOPATH bin path. Emit the required warning and PATH instructions when symlink creation fails. Add automated tests for the command sequence and failure warning.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/opencode-profiles.md`:
- Line 176: Update the generated multi-profile description to state that each
named profile creates 11 agent entries: one orchestrator and 10 profile-scoped
SDD agents from profilePhaseOrder. Clarify that the six QA executors are shared
global agents from sdd-overlay-multi.json, not suffixed or profile-scoped, while
preserving the existing orchestrator permission-scope description.

In `@e2e/e2e_test.sh`:
- Around line 1119-1120: Update both relevant test blocks around the
qa-orchestrator assertions to retain negative checks for both legacy keys:
assert that opencode.json does not contain gentle-orchestrator and
sdd-orchestrator, while preserving the existing qa-orchestrator positive check.
- Around line 1119-1120: Update the remaining normal-install assertions in the
e2e test flow, including the checks near the existing OpenCode agent assertions
and the cases around the referenced later tests, to expect qa-orchestrator
instead of gentle-orchestrator. Update the associated stale test descriptions
and preserve assertions that verify the legacy gentle-orchestrator key is
absent.

In `@internal/agents/opencode/paths.go`:
- Around line 10-11: Update ConfigPath and its callers to represent installation
scope explicitly instead of inferring workspace scope from homeDir versus
os.UserHomeDir(). Use the existing ScopeGlobal and ScopeWorkspace distinction
(or separate global/workspace helpers) in adapter.CommandsDir,
adapter.SettingsPath, and internal/components/sdd.Inject, and update the
affected tests so global installs resolve under .config/opencode while workspace
installs retain workspace paths.

In `@internal/assets/assets_test.go`:
- Line 1864: Update the qa-review permission configuration and its related
assertion to set bash to false in both overlays, preserving the existing read,
write, and edit permissions. If shell inspection remains required, add and test
a command-level policy that rejects mutating Bash commands.

In `@internal/assets/opencode/sdd-orchestrator.md`:
- Line 470: Update the continuation-batch logic around the qa-apply route to
resolve the progress key from the selected route, using the qa/{change-name}
prefix for QA automation and the existing sdd/{change-name} prefix otherwise.
Reuse that resolved key consistently for both progress lookup and merge
instructions so later QA apply batches load and merge the existing record.

In `@internal/assets/skills/erp-docs-write/SKILL.md`:
- Around line 364-376: Remove the Markdown code fences surrounding the metadata
table in the documentation template, keeping the Campo | Valor rows unchanged so
the table renders as Markdown.
- Around line 464-475: Update the flow example in the documented skill to use
the required three exact stages in order, separating “Ventas y Compras” and
“Nueva Venta” into distinct stages. Remove the unsupported “menú superior”
location claim and describe only actions supported by available screenshot or
human evidence, while preserving the caja opening or continuation behavior.

In `@internal/assets/skills/gitlab-mr-flow/SKILL.md`:
- Around line 30-32: Move the confirmation gate for source_branch,
target_branch, and title before the git push step in the merge-request flow.
Require explicit user approval before executing the remote write, while keeping
gitlab_create_merge_request after the push and using the confirmed parameters.
- Around line 37-40: Replace both plural gitlab_get_merge_requests_approvals
invocations with the singular gitlab_get_merge_request_approvals tool in the
approval-check flows of SKILL.md, preserving the existing approval and
re-verification behavior.

In `@internal/assets/skills/gitlab-release-tag/SKILL.md`:
- Around line 72-75: Update the gitlab_create_tag instructions in
internal/assets/skills/gitlab-release-tag/SKILL.md lines 72-75 to resolve the
merged MR’s exact commit SHA, pass that SHA as ref, and verify the created tag
points to it; apply the same change to skills/gitlab-release-tag/SKILL.md lines
72-75 so both skill copies use the immutable merged commit instead of the
mutable target branch.

In `@internal/assets/skills/qa-apply/SKILL.md`:
- Around line 35-36: The qa-apply instructions should invoke TypeScript only
from the consuming target project’s locally installed dependencies. Replace both
occurrences of “npx tsc --noEmit” with “npx --no-install tsc --noEmit”, or use
the target project’s existing typecheck script; do not add a repository
TypeScript dependency.

In `@internal/assets/skills/qa-evidence/SKILL.md`:
- Line 23: Update the type-validation command in the QA evidence instructions to
prevent registry resolution when local TypeScript is unavailable, using npx’s
no-install mode or an exact consuming-project typecheck script with its declared
TypeScript dependency. Do not add a TypeScript dependency or pin it in this Go
repository.

In `@internal/assets/skills/qa-locator-hunting/references/erp-mf-catalog.md`:
- Line 3: Update the level label in the ERP locator catalog header to identify
it as Level 2, matching the stage defined by the qa-locator-hunting SKILL.md;
leave the catalog’s non-source-of-truth designation unchanged.

In `@internal/assets/skills/qa-supervisor/SKILL.md`:
- Line 45: Update the validation commands in the QA supervisor and QA verify
skill instructions to avoid registry resolution: use the consuming project’s
declared type-check script, or use npx --no-install tsc --noEmit when no such
script exists. Replace all four bare npx tsc --noEmit occurrences while
preserving the surrounding validation requirements.

In `@internal/components/sdd/inject.go`:
- Around line 2752-2765: Update the assignment normalization logic around the
legacy-assignment selection so aliases follow the documented priority
qa-orchestrator over gentle-orchestrator over sdd-orchestrator. Preserve an
existing qa-orchestrator assignment when present, and only fall back to the
highest-priority available legacy assignment; ensure the normalization loop does
not overwrite the canonical entry with a stale alias.

In `@skills/qa-evidence/SKILL.md`:
- Line 2: Rename the five repository-specific skill directories and their
front-matter names to use the gentle-ai-* prefix: qa-evidence,
qa-locator-hunting, qa-supervisor, erp-docs-publish, and erp-docs-write. Update
every embedding, discovery, registration, and root AGENTS.md reference to the
new paths and names, while leaving portable skill names unchanged.
- Line 23: Update all three public TypeScript validation references in
qa-evidence to require the consuming project's typecheck script and local
declared TypeScript executable instead of bare npx resolution. Apply the same
correction to every embedded asset copy in both qa-evidence and qa-supervisor,
preserving consistency across the separate trees.

In generated multi-profile mode, each named profile generates 11 agent entries in `opencode.json`: one orchestrator (`sdd-orchestrator-{name}`, mode `primary`) and 10 SDD phase sub-agents (`sdd-{phase}-{name}`, mode `subagent`, hidden). The base/default conductor remains `gentle-orchestrator`. Each named profile orchestrator's permissions are scoped so it can only delegate to its own suffixed sub-agents.

Correct the generated profile agent count and QA scope. GenerateProfileOverlay creates one profile orchestrator plus 10 suffixed SDD agents from profilePhaseOrder; it does not create suffixed qa-* agents. The six qa-* entries are global in sdd-overlay-multi.json, and the profile tests treat them as global. Update this line to describe the 10 profile-scoped SDD agents and state that QA executors are shared, not profile-scoped. The PRD already documents generic model fallback in §8.3, but that is not a profile-specific QA assignment.

Keep negative checks for both legacy agent keys.

The documented migration covers both gentle-orchestrator and sdd-orchestrator. These replacements only assert that gentle-orchestrator is absent. A stale sdd-orchestrator entry can remain without failing either test. Retain the assert_file_not_contains check for sdd-orchestrator in both tests.

Update the remaining OpenCode assertions to qa-orchestrator.

Later normal-install tests still require "gentle-orchestrator" at lines 1978, 2027, 2056, and 2074. A normal SDD install now writes "qa-orchestrator" and removes the legacy key, so these assertions fail. Update the assertions and their stale test descriptions. Apply the same change to lines 1894-1895.

Keep global and workspace scope explicit in ConfigPath.

ConfigPath treats every homeDir other than os.UserHomeDir() as a workspace. internal/components/sdd.Inject passes its homeDir to adapter.CommandsDir and adapter.SettingsPath. TestInjectOpenCodeWritesCommandFiles passes t.TempDir() as the root and reads <home>/.config/opencode, but the new branch writes to <home>/.opencode instead.

Do not re-infer scope from path equality. Pass the installation scope explicitly or expose separate global and workspace path helpers, then update the callers and tests. The normal CLI install and sync flows already distinguish ScopeGlobal from ScopeWorkspace.

official OpenCode documentation permissions bash write edit tool settings read-only shell commands

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In OpenCode, you can manage tool behavior and security permissions by modifying the opencode.json configuration file, typically found in the project root [1][2][3]. OpenCode allows you to define granular rules for tools, including bash (shell commands) and edit (file modifications), using an "allow," "deny," or "ask" policy [1][4][5]. Permissions Management Permissions are defined within the permission field of the opencode.json configuration [1][4][3]. You can set global rules (using *) or specify overrides for individual tools [4][6][5]. Bash (Shell Commands) The bash permission controls the LLM&#39;s ability to execute shell commands in your project environment [1][7]. - You can enable or restrict specific commands by using pattern matching [6][3]. - Example configuration: json { &quot;permission&quot;: { &quot;bash&quot;: { &quot;*&quot;: &quot;ask&quot;, &quot;git *&quot;: &quot;allow&quot;, &quot;npm *&quot;: &quot;allow&quot;, &quot;rm *&quot;: &quot;deny&quot; } } } - Commands like git status may work by default, but if you pass arguments, you often need to define an explicit rule like &quot;git status *&quot; [6][3]. Edit (Write/Modification) The edit permission is a broad category that covers all file modifications, including the edit, write, and apply_patch (or multiedit) tools [1][3]. - Setting edit to &quot;deny&quot; effectively makes the file system read-only for the LLM regarding modifications [1][4][3]. - You can grant write access to specific directories or file paths while keeping others protected [4][3]. Other Important Settings - Read-Only Mode: Since most permissions default to &quot;allow&quot; (except specific safety guards), you can achieve a read-only environment by setting &quot;edit&quot;: &quot;deny&quot; in your configuration [1][4][5]. - External Directories: The external_directory permission is a safety guard that defaults to &quot;ask&quot; and triggers when a tool attempts to access paths outside the project&#39;s working directory [4][6][5]. - Versioning: Note that OpenCode 2 (configured via opencode2) uses a slightly different, more structured permission schema compared to OpenCode 1, often utilizing an array of objects to define action, resource, and effect [8]. Always verify which version you are using [9].

Add explicit rules when a tool should be restricted in these paths, such as blocking edits while keeping reads: ... ```json title="opencode.json" { "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "permission": { "external_directory": { "~/projects/personal/**": "allow" }, "edit": { "~/projects/personal/**": "deny" } } } ... Keep the list focused on trusted paths, and layer extra allow or deny rules as needed for other tools (for example `bash`). ... ## Available Permissions ... OpenCode permissions are keyed by tool name, plus a couple of safety guards: ... - `read` — reading a file (matches the file path) - `edit` — all file modifications (covers `edit`, `write`, `patch`, `multiedit`) - `glob` — file globbing (matches the glob pattern) - `grep` — content search (matches the regex pattern) - `list` — listing files in a directory (matches the directory path) - `bash` — running shell commands (matches parsed commands like `git status --porcelain`) - `task` — launching subagents (matches the subagent type) - `skill` — loading a skill (matches the skill name) - `lsp` — running LSP queries (currently non-granular) - `todoread`, `todowrite` — reading/updating the todo list - `webfetch` — fetching a URL (matches the URL) - `websearch`, `codesearch` — web/code search (matches the query) - `external_directory` — triggered when a tool touches paths outside the project working directory - `doom_loop` — triggered when the same tool call repeats 3 times with identical input ...

Disable Bash for qa-review. bash:true permits shell commands in the project environment. write:false and edit:false only disable direct file-editing tools. The prompt does not technically prevent workspace mutation, and the task permission only controls sub-agent launching. Set bash:false in both overlays and this assertion. If shell inspection is required, add and test a command-level Bash policy that denies mutating commands.

Use the QA topic key for QA apply continuations.

Line 470 now applies this logic to qa-apply, but the lookup and merge instruction below still use sdd/{change-name}/apply-progress. Line 490 requires the qa/{change-name} prefix for QA automation changes. A later QA apply batch will not load its existing progress and can persist an incomplete replacement instead of a merged record. Resolve the prefix from the selected route and use that same key for both lookup and merge instructions.

<search_synthesis>
The terms gitlab_get_merge_request_approvals and gitlab_get_merge_requests_approvals generally refer to a specific Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool introduced in GitLab 19.4 [1]. This MCP tool, get_merge_request_approvals, is designed for AI agents to retrieve the approval state of a merge request, including who has approved it, the number of approvals required versus remaining, and the applicable approval rules [1]. It maps to the existing GitLab REST API endpoint for retrieving merge request approval state [2]: GET /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/approvals Key points regarding the tool and API: Tool Functionality: The get_merge_request_approvals MCP tool accepts parameters such as project_id and merge_request_iid (or a full URL) to return structured data about the merge request&#39;s approval status [1]. While the basic approval status (approved, approvedBy) is available to all users, detailed approval-rule data is a GitLab Premium/Ultimate feature [1]. REST API Context: The underlying REST API provides multiple endpoints for managing approvals [3][4]: - Retrieve approval state: GET /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/approvals [3] - Retrieve approval details (more granular state): GET /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/approval_state [3] - Manage approval rules: Various endpoints under /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/approval_rules [3][5] If you are encountering these names in code or documentation, they are likely referencing this specific MCP tool integration intended for AI-assisted workflows [2][1].

Use the singular GitLab approval tool in both skill copies.

The GitLab MCP contract exposes get_merge_request_approvals, which this repository invokes as gitlab_get_merge_request_approvals. Replace both gitlab_get_merge_requests_approvals calls in internal/assets/skills/gitlab-mr-flow/SKILL.md and skills/gitlab-mr-flow/SKILL.md. The plural invocation is unavailable and can fail before approved is evaluated.

Use the immutable merged commit for the release tag.

Both copies pass the mutable target branch to gitlab_create_tag. A later commit can move that branch before tagging, so the release tag can identify code after the merged MR.

  • internal/assets/skills/gitlab-release-tag/SKILL.md#L72-L75: resolve the merged MR's exact commit SHA and pass it as ref; verify the resulting tag points to that SHA.

Use a local-only TypeScript command in the portable skill. qa-apply runs in the consuming target project, so that project’s dependencies determine whether tsc is local. Bare npx tsc --noEmit can resolve and execute a registry package when the target project lacks local tsc. Replace both occurrences with npx --no-install tsc --noEmit, or use a target-project typecheck script that invokes its declared local TypeScript dependency and fails when it is unavailable. Do not require this repository to pin TypeScript.

Preserve the canonical model assignment when aliases coexist.

When assignments contains qa-orchestrator and either legacy key, this function skips the canonical entry and overwrites it with the legacy assignment. This conflicts with the reader’s documented priority: qa-orchestrator > gentle-orchestrator > sdd-orchestrator. A stale alias can therefore override the user’s current selection.

Proposed fix
-	legacyAssignment, hasLegacy := assignments["sdd-orchestrator"]
-	if !hasLegacy {
-		legacyAssignment, hasLegacy = assignments["gentle-orchestrator"]
-	}
+	legacyAssignment, hasLegacy := assignments["qa-orchestrator"]

official npm documentation npx --no local package execution npm versions

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In modern npm (v7.0.0 and later), the npx command functions as an interface for npm exec [1][2]. The flag --no is not a standard, standalone option for npx that disables local package execution [3][4]. Instead, the npm documentation specifies that npx prompts the user before installing packages that are not present in the local project dependencies [3][1]. This prompt can be suppressed by providing either --yes (to proceed with installation) or --no (to cancel the operation if installation is required) [3][5][2]. Key points regarding these flags and npx behavior: 1. Prompt Suppression: The --yes and --no flags are used to handle the confirmation prompt that appears when npx needs to install a package not found in your local project or path [3][2]. Using --no will abort the execution if the package is not already available locally [3][1]. 2. Deprecation of --no-install: Older versions of npx (prior to the rewrite in npm v7.0.0) supported a --no-install flag, which explicitly prevented npx from installing missing packages [6][7][8]. This flag is now deprecated and is automatically converted to --no [3][5][4]. 3. Modern Behavior: Because modern npx is integrated with npm exec, it will always prioritize finding a package in your local node_modules/.bin before attempting to fetch it from the registry [1][2][4]. If you want to ensure only local packages are used and prevent any remote installation, providing the --no flag effectively serves this purpose by canceling the install process if the package is missing [3][1]. In summary, --no is used to suppress the install confirmation prompt and abort if the package is not found, effectively preventing remote package installation [3][2].

<title>npx `@11.9.0`</title> https://unpkg.com/npm@11.9.0/docs/output/commands/npx.html npx npm command-line interface ## Table of contents - Synopsis - Description - `npx` vs`npm exec` - Examples - Compatibility with Older npx Versions - See Also ### Synopsis ``` npx -- <pkg>[@<version>] [args...] npx --package=<pkg>[@<version>] -- <cmd> [args...] npx -c &`#39`;<cmd> [args...]&`#39`; npx --package=foo -c &`#39`;<cmd> [args...]&`#39`; ``` ### Description This command allows you to run an arbitrary command from an npm package (either one installed locally, or fetched remotely), in a similar context as running it via`npm run`. Run this command to execute a package&`#39`;s binary. Any options and arguments after the package name are passed directly to the executed command, not to npx itself. For example,`npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript` will pass`my-app` and`--template typescript` to the`create-react-app` command. To see what options a specific package accepts, consult that package&`#39`;s documentation (e.g., at npmjs.com or in its repository). Whatever packages are specified by the`--package` option will be provided in the`PATH` of the executed command, along with any locally installed package executables. The`--package` option may be specified multiple times, to execute the supplied command in an environment where all specified packages are available. If any requested packages are not present in the local project dependencies, then they are installed to a folder in the npm cache, which is added to the`PATH` environment variable in the executed process. A prompt is printed (which can be suppressed by providing either`--yes` or`--no`). Package names provided without a specifier will be matched with whatever version exists in the local project. Package names with a specifier will only be considered a match if they have the exact same name and version as the local dependency. If no`-c` or`--call` option is provided, then the positional arguments are used to generate the command string. If no`--package` options are provided, then npm will attempt to determine the executable name from the package specifier provided as the first positional argument according to the following heuristic: - If the package has a single entry in its`bin` field in`package.json`, or if all entries are aliases of the same command, then that command will be used. - If the package has multiple`bin` entries, and one of them matches the unscoped portion of the`name` field, then that command will be used. - If this does not result in exactly one option (either because there are no bin entries, or none of them match the`name` of the package), then`npm exec` exits with an error. To run a binary other than the named binary, specify one or more`--package` options, which will prevent npm from inferring the package from the first command argument. ### npx vs npm exec When run via the`npx` binary, all flags and options must be set prior to any positional arguments. When run via`npm exec`, a double-hyphen`--` flag can be used to suppress npm&`#39`;s parsing of switches and options that should be sent to the executed command. For example: ``` $ npx foo@latest bar --package=`@npmcli/foo` ``` In this case, npm will resolve the`foo` package name, and run the following command: ``` $ foo bar --package=`@npmcli/foo` ``` Since the`--package` option comes after the positional arguments, it is treated as an argument to the executed command. In contrast, due to npm&`#39`;s argument parsing logic, running this command is different: ``` $ npm exec foo@latest bar --package=`@npmcli/foo` ``` In this case, npm will parse the`--package` option first, resolving the`@npmcli/foo` package. Then, it will execute the following command in that context: ``` $ foo@latest bar ``` The double-hyphen character is recommended to explicitly tell npm to stop parsing command line options and switches. The following command would thus be equivalent to the`npx` command above: ``` $ npm exec -- foo@latest bar --package=`@npmcli/foo` ``` ### Exam…[truncated] <title>npx | npm Docs</title> https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v9/commands/npx/ npx | npm Docs Skip to searchSkip to content # npx Run a command from a local or remote npm package Select CLI Version: Version 9.9.4 (Legacy) Table of contents ## Synopsis ```bash npx -- <pkg>[@<version>] [args...]npx --package=<pkg>[@<version>] -- <cmd> [args...]npx -c &`#39`;<cmd> [args...]&`#39`;npx --package=foo -c &`#39`;<cmd> [args...]&`#39`; ``` ## Description This command allows you to run an arbitrary command from an npm package (either one installed locally, or fetched remotely), in a similar context as running it via`npm run`.

Prevent registry resolution during type validation. When local tsc is absent, bare npx tsc --noEmit may install and execute TypeScript from the registry. Use npx --no tsc --noEmit, or require the consuming project to provide an exact typecheck script that invokes its declared local TypeScript dependency. Pin TypeScript in the consuming project, not in this Go repository.

official npm npx documentation --no-install alias supported npm versions

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In current versions of npm (v7.0.0 and later), the --no-install flag in npx is deprecated and is automatically converted to the --no flag [1][2][3][4]. The npx utility was rewritten as part of the npm CLI starting in npm v7.0.0, at which point the original standalone npx package was deprecated [1][2][3][5]. While the modern npx maintains some backward compatibility with older arguments, the --no-install option is no longer officially supported as a distinct functional flag [1][4]. For reference, in the original standalone npx package (which existed prior to npm v7), --no-install was used to prevent npx from automatically installing missing packages, forcing it to only execute binaries that were already present in the current PATH or local node_modules/.bin [6][5][7]. Current documentation explicitly advises that the flag will be converted to --no [1][2][4].

<title>npx | npm Docs</title> https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/commands/npx/ npx | npm Docs # npx Run a command from a local or remote npm package Table of contents ## Synopsis npx -- < pkg> [@< version>] [args...] npx --package=< pkg> [@< version>] -- < cmd> [args...] npx -c &`#39`; [args...]&`#39`; npx --package= foo -c &`#39`; [args...]&`#39`; ## Description This command allows you to run an arbitrary command from an npm package (either one installed locally, or fetched remotely), in a similar context as running it via `npm run`. Run this command to execute a package&`#39`;s binary. Any options and arguments after the package name are passed directly to the executed command, not to npx itself. For example, `npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript` will pass `my-app` and `--template typescript` to the `create-react-app` command. To see what options a specific package accepts, consult that package&`#39`;s documentation (e.g., at npmjs.com or in its repository). Whatever packages are specified by the `--package` option will be provided in the `PATH` of the executed command, along with any locally installed package executables. The `--package` option may be specified multiple times, to execute the supplied command in an environment where all specified packages are available. If any requested packages are not present in the local project dependencies, then they are installed to a folder in the npm cache, which is added to the `PATH` environment variable in the executed process. A prompt is printed (which can be suppressed by providing either `--yes` or `--no`). Package names provided without a specifier will be matched with whatever version exists in the local project. Package names with a specifier will only be considered a match if they have the exact same name and version as the local dependency. If no `-c` or `--call` option is provided, then the positional arguments are used to generate the command string. If no `--package` options are provided, then npm will attempt to determine the executable name from the package specifier provided as the first positional argument according to the following heuristic: - If the package has a single entry in its `bin` field in `package.json`, or if all entries are aliases of the same command, then that command will be used. - If the package has multiple `bin` entries, and one of them matches the unscoped portion of the `name` field, then that command will be used. - If this does not result in exactly one option (either because there are no bin entries, or none of them match the `name` of the package), then `npm exec` exits with an error. To run a binary other than the named binary, specify one or more `--package` options, which will prevent npm from inferring the package from the first command argument. ## `npx` vs `npm exec` When run via the `npx` binary, all flags and options must be set prior to any positional arguments. When run via `npm exec`, a double-hyphen `--` flag can be used to suppress npm&`#39`;s parsing of switches and options that should be sent to the executed command. For example: `$ npx foo@latest bar --package=`@npmcli/foo`` In this case, npm will resolve the `foo` package name, and run the following command: `$ foo bar --package=`@npmcli/foo`` Since the `--package` option comes after the positional arguments, it is treated as an argument to the executed command. In contrast, due to npm&`#39`;s argument parsing logic, running this command is different: `$ npm exec foo@latest bar --package=`@npmcli/foo`` In this case, npm will parse the `--package` option first, resolving the `@npmcli/foo` package.

The following command would thus be equivalent to the `npx` command above: `$ npm exec -- foo@latest bar --package=`@npmcli/foo`` ## Examples Run the version of `tap` in the local dependencies, with the provided arguments: $ npm exe…[truncated] <title>npm/npx</title> https://github.com/npm/npx # npm/npx npm package executor - Stars: 758 - Forks: 74 - Watchers: 758 - Open issues: 53 - License: Other - Default branch: latest - Created: 2019-06-26T02:16:02Z - Status: ARCHIVED ## Languages - JavaScript - Makefile ## Top Contributors - zkat (216 contributions) - isaacs (11 contributions) - katemihalikova (4 contributions) - jdalton (3 contributions) - gorhgorh (3 contributions) - claudiahdz (3 contributions) - nickvasdev (2 contributions) - int64ago (2 contributions) - darcyclarke (2 contributions) - janl (2 contributions) --- ## README ⚠️ DEPRECATED: This project has been deprecated - **npx** is now part of the **[npm cli](https://github.com/npm/cli)** [![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/npx.svg)](https://npm.im/npx) [![license](https://img.shields.io/npm/l/npx.svg)](https://npm.im/npx) [![Travis](https://img.shields.io/travis/npm/npx.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/npm/npx) [![AppVeyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/github/npm/npx?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/npm/npx) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/npm/npx/badge.svg?branch=latest)](https://coveralls.io/github/npm/npx?branch=latest) # npx(1) -- execute npm package binaries ## SYNOPSIS `npx [options] [`@version`] [command-arg]...` `npx [options] [-p|--package]... [command-arg]...` `npx [options] -c &`#39`; &`#39`;` `npx --shell-auto-fallback [shell]` ## INSTALL `npm install -g npx` ## DESCRIPTION Executes ` ` either from a local `node_modules/.bin`, or from a central cache, installing any packages needed in order for ` ` to run. By default, `npx` will check whether ` ` exists in `$PATH`, or in the local project binaries, and execute that. If ` ` is not found, it will be installed prior to execution. Unless a `--package` option is specified, `npx` will try to guess the name of the binary to invoke depending on the specifier provided. All package specifiers understood by `npm` may be used with `npx`, including git specifiers, remote tarballs, local directories, or scoped packages. If a full specifier is included, or if `--package` is used, npx will always use a freshly-installed, temporary version of the package. This can also be forced with the `--ignore-existing` flag. * `-p, --package ` - define the package to be installed. This defaults to the value of ` `. This is only needed for packages with multiple binaries if you want to call one of the other executables, or where the binary name does not match the package name. If this option is provided ` ` will be executed as-is, without interpreting `@version` if it&`#39`;s there. Multiple `--package` options may be provided, and all the packages specified will be installed. * `--no-install` - If passed to `npx`, it will only try to run ` ` if it already exists in the current path or in `$prefix/node_modules/.bin`. It won&`#39`;t try to install missing commands. * `--cache ` - set the location of the npm cache. Defaults to npm&`#39`;s own cache settings. * `--userconfig ` - path to the user configuration file to pass to npm. Defaults to whatever npm&`#39`;s current default is. * `-c ` - Execute ` ` inside an `npm run-script`-like shell environment, with all the usual environment variables available. Only the first item in ` ` will be automatically used as ` `. Any others _must_ use `-p`. * `--shell ` - The shell to invoke the command with, if any. * `--shell-auto-fallback []` - Generates shell code to override your shell&`#39`;s "command not found" handler with one that calls `npx`. Tries to figure out your shell, or you can pass its name (either `bash`, `fish`, or `zsh`) as an option. See below for how to install. * `--ignore-existing` - If this flag is set, npx will not look in `$PATH`, or in the current package&`#39`;s `node_modules/.bin` for an existing version before deciding whether to install. Binaries in those paths will still be available for execution, but will be shadowed by any packages requested by this install. * `-q, --quiet` - Suppressed any output from npx i…[truncated]

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-494 — Download of Code Without Integrity Check

Use a local TypeScript executable for validation.

Bare npx tsc --noEmit can fetch and execute typescript when the consuming project has no local tsc. Require a consuming-project typecheck script that invokes its declared local TypeScript dependency.

For npm 7+, the current local-only form is:

npx --no tsc --noEmit

--no-install is a deprecated compatibility alias, not an invalid command. The repository does not pin npm, so the consuming-project script is the safer contract. The repository’s missing TypeScript dependency does not control consuming projects.

Apply the correction to all three public occurrences and to the separate embedded asset copies. Updating one tree does not update the other; qa-evidence is currently byte-identical across both trees, but qa-supervisor is not.

[warning] 23: [RP1] null: npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.

Remediation: Pin the version: npx @scope/server@1.2.3

In `@skills/qa-evidence/SKILL.md` at line 23, Update all three public TypeScript
validation references in qa-evidence to require the consuming project's
typecheck script and local declared TypeScript executable instead of bare npx
resolution. Apply the same correction to every embedded asset copy in both
qa-evidence and qa-supervisor, preserving consistency across the separate trees.
