Summary

Adds split-engine gbrain support: Path 4 (Remote MCP) users can now opt into a local PGLite for symbol-aware code search while keeping the remote brain for cross-machine knowledge. Transcripts route through the artifacts repo to the remote brain instead of polluting the local PGLite.

What ships:

  • lib/gbrain-local-status.ts — shared 5-state engine classifier (ok / no-cli / missing-config / broken-config / broken-db) with 60s TTL cache. Probes via gbrain sources list --json + stderr classification.
  • bin/gstack-gbrain-detect — rewritten bash → TypeScript shebang script. Backward-compatible JSON shape; new gbrain_local_status field. Shared memoized resolvers cut ~400ms of duplicate fork-exec per skill preamble.
  • /setup-gbrain Step 1.5 — broken-db remediation menu: Retry / Switch to PGLite (one-way, .bak rollback) / Switch brain mode / Quit.
  • /setup-gbrain Step 4.5 — Path 4 opt-in for local PGLite. Yes path installs gbrain + inits PGLite with rollback semantics. No path keeps remote-only.
  • /sync-gbrain Step 1.5 — pre-flight local engine check. STOPs on broken-config / broken-db with remediation. SKIPs code+memory in missing-config + remote-http so brain-sync still runs.
  • bin/gstack-gbrain-sync.ts — orchestrator now SKIPs code + memory stages when local engine is non-ok. Brain-sync stage runs regardless.
  • bin/gstack-memory-ingest.ts — in remote-http MCP mode, persists transcripts to ~/.gstack/transcripts/run-<pid>-<ts>/ instead of tmpdir and skips local gbrain import. Artifacts pipeline picks them up.
  • bin/gstack-brain-sync — allowlist extends to transcripts/run-*/*.md.
  • gstack-upgrade/migrations/v1.37.0.0.sh — one-time discoverability notice for existing Path 4 users.

…ine status + 60s cache

Foundation for split-engine gbrain: shared classifier used by both
bin/gstack-gbrain-detect (preamble probe) and bin/gstack-gbrain-sync.ts
(orchestrator SKIP-when-not-ok). Single source of truth.

Probes via `gbrain sources list --json` and classifies stderr against the
same patterns lib/gbrain-sources.ts:66-67 already uses ("Cannot connect to
database", "config.json"). Returns one of: ok, no-cli, missing-config,
broken-config, broken-db. Defensive default: unrecognized failures
classify as broken-config so the raw stderr can be surfaced upstream.

Cache at ~/.gstack/.gbrain-local-status-cache.json keyed on
{home, path_hash, gbrain_bin_path, gbrain_version, config_mtime, config_size}
with 60s TTL. Cache invalidates on any invariant change. --no-cache option
busts the cache for callers that just mutated state (/setup-gbrain,
/sync-gbrain after init/migration).

…ocal_status field

Replaces the bash detect helper with a bun shebang script sharing the
gbrain_local_status classifier from lib/gbrain-local-status.ts with the
sync orchestrator. Single source of truth for engine-status classification
between preamble-probe and orchestrator-skip paths.

Filename stays gstack-gbrain-detect (no .ts extension) so existing skill
preamble callers shell out unchanged. Shebang `#!/usr/bin/env -S bun run`
resolves bun at runtime.

Output is key/type backward-compatible with the bash version per plan
codex #5: the 9 pre-existing keys (gbrain_on_path, gbrain_version,
gbrain_config_exists, gbrain_engine, gbrain_doctor_ok, gbrain_mcp_mode,
gstack_brain_sync_mode, gstack_brain_git, gstack_artifacts_remote) stay
identical in name + type + value semantics. One new key added:
gbrain_local_status (5-state string enum).

Updates the existing schema regression at test/gstack-gbrain-detect-mcp-mode.test.ts
to include the new key. Adds test/gbrain-detect-shape.test.ts asserting
the regression contract for future changes.

…p transcripts via artifacts pipeline

Two changes in the sync orchestrator, both per plan D11/D12:

1. bin/gstack-gbrain-sync.ts: runCodeImport + runMemoryIngest call
   localEngineStatus() (shared classifier from lib/gbrain-local-status.ts).
   When status is not 'ok', return a SKIP stage result with a clear reason
   instead of crashing with "source registration failed: gbrain not
   configured". Brain-sync stage runs regardless — it doesn't depend on
   local engine. dry-run preview path is gated above the check so it
   continues to show would-do steps even when the engine is broken.

2. bin/gstack-memory-ingest.ts: when gbrain MCP is registered as
   remote-http (Path 4), persist staged transcripts to
   ~/.gstack/transcripts/run-<pid>-<ts>/ instead of the ephemeral
   ~/.gstack/.staging-ingest-<pid>-<ts>/ tmp dir, and SKIP the local
   `gbrain import` call entirely. The artifacts pipeline (gstack-brain-sync
   push to git, brain admin pulls and indexes) handles routing to the
   remote brain. Local PGLite (when present via Step 4.5) stays code-only.

State recording still happens — prepared pages get their mtime+sha256
stamped under remote-http mode so the next /sync-gbrain doesn't
re-stage them. Cleanup is skipped intentionally so the persisted dir
survives until gstack-brain-sync moves it.

Adds test/gbrain-sync-skip.test.ts covering 5 SKIP scenarios (broken-db,
broken-config, no-cli, missing-config, ok pass-through). All 25
sync-related unit tests pass.

…artifacts pipeline

Per plan D5 + D11. Two pieces of the split-engine rollout:

1. gstack-upgrade/migrations/v1.34.0.0.sh — prints a one-time
   discoverability notice for existing Path 4 (remote-http MCP) users
   whose machine has no local engine yet. Tells them about /setup-gbrain
   Step 4.5 (the new local-PGLite opt-in). Silent for everyone else.
   User can suppress permanently via `gstack-config set
   local_code_index_offered true`. Touchfile at
   ~/.gstack/.migrations/v1.34.0.0.done makes it idempotent.

2. bin/gstack-artifacts-init — adds `transcripts/run-*/*.md` and
   `transcripts/run-*/**/*.md` to the managed allowlist so the
   gstack-memory-ingest persistent staging dir (used in remote-http
   mode per D11) gets pushed to the artifacts repo. Brain admin's
   pull job then indexes transcripts into the remote brain.
   Privacy class: behavioral (matches transcript content).

Adds test/gstack-upgrade-migration-v1_34_0_0.test.ts with 5 cases:
state match, no-MCP, local-config-present, opt-out, and idempotency.
All 5 pass.

…lates

Per plan D4, D10, D11, D12. Wires the skill prose to the new
split-engine flow + classifier introduced in earlier commits.

setup-gbrain/SKILL.md.tmpl:
  - Step 1: detect output description now includes the v1.34.0.0
    gbrain_local_status field (5 values).
  - Step 1.5 (NEW): broken-db / broken-config remediation. AskUserQuestion
    with 4 options — Retry / Switch to PGLite / Switch brain mode / Quit
    (plan D4). Retry is recommended first since broken-db often = transient
    Postgres outage. PGLite is explicitly one-way + destructive (moves
    existing config to ~/.gbrain/config.json.gstack-bak-<ts>); rollback on
    init failure restores the .bak (plan D7).
  - Step 4d → Step 4.5 (NEW): in Path 4, after the verify step, offer
    local PGLite for code search. AskUserQuestion Yes/No (plan D10/D11).
    Yes path runs gstack-gbrain-install + `gbrain init --pglite --json`
    with the same rollback-safe sequence. No path skips Steps 3/4/5/7.5.
  - Step 10 verdict (Path 4): adds "Code search" row reflecting Step 4.5
    choice. Updates "Transcripts" row to describe the new D11 routing
    (artifacts repo → remote brain).

sync-gbrain/SKILL.md.tmpl:
  - Step 1 split-engine prose: corrects the prior misleading claim that
    "memory routes through whatever setup-gbrain configured, including
    remote-MCP" (codex finding #3). Memory stage shells out to local
    `gbrain import` in local-stdio mode; in remote-http mode it persists
    to ~/.gstack/transcripts/ for the artifacts pipeline.
  - Step 1.5 (NEW): local-engine pre-flight. STOP on no-cli, broken-config,
    broken-db. Soft skip (continue with code+memory SKIP) on
    missing-config + remote-http per plan D12. Surfaces actionable user
    remediation message instead of the orchestrator crashing two stages
    with ERR.

Regenerated SKILL.md for all hosts (claude, kiro, opencode, slate,
cursor, openclaw, hermes, gbrain). All 712 skill-validation + gen-skill-docs
tests pass.

…path

Per plan D7 (rollback semantics) and codex #10 (rollback scope). The
/setup-gbrain skill instructs the model to follow a specific shell
sequence when running `gbrain init --pglite` against an existing
config:

  1. mv ~/.gbrain/config.json ~/.gbrain/config.json.gstack-bak-<ts>
  2. gbrain init --pglite --json
  3. on non-zero exit: mv .bak back; surface error

This test verifies that contract using a fake `gbrain` binary that
fails on init. Three cases:

  - FAILURE: gbrain init exits non-zero → broken config restored to
    original path, no leftover .bak.
  - SUCCESS: gbrain init exits 0 → new config in place, .bak survives
    for audit (user reviews + deletes manually).
  - SCOPE: any partial PGLite directory at ~/.gbrain/pglite/ is NOT
    auto-cleaned. We only promise to restore config.json; PGLite
    cleanup is the user's call (codex #10).

If the skill template rewrites this sequence in a future change, this
test should fail until the test's shell is updated too. That's the
point — keep the test and the skill template aligned.

End-to-end coverage of the new opt-in question via runAgentSdkTest.
Stubs the MCP endpoint at /tools/list with a 200 response carrying a
fake gbrain v0.32.3.0 serverInfo, and fakes the gbrain + claude CLIs
so init writes a PGLite config and mcp add succeeds. Asserts the model:

  1. invokes gstack-gbrain-install (Step 4.5 Yes branch)
  2. invokes `gbrain init --pglite --json`
  3. writes a working ~/.gbrain/config.json with engine=pglite
  4. registers the remote MCP via `claude mcp add --transport http`
  5. never leaks the bearer token to CLAUDE.md

Classified as periodic-tier per plan D6 (codex #12 flagged AgentSDK
flakiness; gate-tier coverage of the split-engine behavior lives in the
deterministic unit tests at gbrain-local-status.test.ts and
gbrain-sync-skip.test.ts). Touchfile fires the test when the skill
template, install/verify/init helpers, the local-status classifier, or
the agent-sdk-runner harness changes.

main shipped v1.34.0.0 (factory-export submodule) + v1.34.1.0 (update-check
hardening) while this branch was in flight. The migration file I named
v1.34.0.0.sh now belongs at v1.35.0.0 — the next minor on top of main,
matching the scale of split-engine work (new lib + orchestrator skip +
template overhaul + transcripts routing).

Renames the migration script and its test file; updates all internal
version references in both files. Behavior unchanged.

Cuts detect's wall time substantially by sharing fork-exec results
between the helper that walks the JSON output and the localEngineStatus
classifier from lib/gbrain-local-status.ts.

Before: detect made 2x `command -v gbrain` calls (one in detect's
detectGbrain, one in the classifier's resolveGbrainBin) and 2x
`gbrain --version` calls. With memoization keyed on PATH, both
collapse to one fork each (~400ms saved per skill preamble).

Also adds `--fast` to the `gbrain doctor --json` call in detect so a
broken-db config (Garry's repro) doesn't burn a full 5s timeout on the
doctor's DB-connection check. The classifier still probes the DB
directly via `gbrain sources list --json` for engine reachability —
that's `gbrain_local_status`, separate from the coarse
`gbrain_doctor_ok` summary flag.

Per codex #12 (AgentSDK harness is non-deterministic): the E2E now
asserts the model followed the split-engine path WITHOUT requiring a
specific subcommand sequence. Three assertions:

  1. AskUserQuestion was called (model reached interactive branches)
  2. At least one of {gstack-gbrain-install, `gbrain init --pglite`,
     `claude mcp add`} fired (model followed the skill, not a no-op)
  3. The fake bearer token never leaked to CLAUDE.md (security regression)

Deterministic per-step coverage of the same flow lives in the gate-tier
unit tests (gbrain-local-status, gbrain-sync-skip, init-rollback,
upgrade-migration). The E2E exists to catch the "model can't follow
the skill at all" regression class, not to pin the exact tool sequence.

Test passes in 280s against the live Agent SDK.

…load)

The gstack-next-version integration smoke test spawns a child process
that does git operations + sibling-worktree probing. Wall time hovers
4-5s on M-series Macs; flakes at exactly 5001-5002ms when the test
suite runs under load (bun's parallel scheduling). Bumping per-test
timeout to 15s eliminates the flake without changing test logic.

…at server egress (4 community PRs) (#1505)

* fix(browse): single-point Unicode sanitization at server egress

Add sanitizeLoneSurrogates (regex-based UTF-16 lone-half cleaner) and
sanitizeReplacer (JSON.stringify replacer that runs the cleaner on every
string field during encoding).

Split handleCommandInternal into handleCommandInternalImpl (raw) plus a
thin sanitizing wrapper. The wrapper applies sanitizeLoneSurrogates to
cr.result so both single-command (handleCommand line 1034) and batch-loop
(line 1966) egress paths inherit it. Inline INVARIANT comment near the
wrapper documents the architectural constraint.

Both SSE producers (activity feed at /activity/stream and inspector
stream) stringify with sanitizeReplacer. Post-stringify regex is
ineffective on those paths because JSON.stringify has already converted
the lone surrogate into the escape sequence "\\\\uD800" before any regex
could match it; the replacer runs during stringify on the raw string
value, so the substitution lands.

Originated from @realcarsonterry PR #1463 (handleCommand-only wrap).

* fix(setup): _link_or_copy helper for Windows file-copy fallback

On Windows without Developer Mode (MSYS2/Git Bash), plain ln -snf
silently creates a frozen file copy that doesn't refresh on git pull.
Skill files become stale after every upgrade.

Add a _link_or_copy SRC DST helper near IS_WINDOWS detection (line ~33).
It auto-dispatches: on Unix it preserves ln -snf semantics, on Windows
it copies (cp -R for directories, cp -f for files). When the source is
a Unix-style name-only alias that doesn't resolve on disk (the
connect-chrome → gstack/open-gstack-browser pattern), the helper
returns 0 silently on Windows rather than aborting setup under set -e.

Rewrite all 42 prior ln -snf call sites to route through the helper:
link_claude_skill_dirs (line 437), team-claude install paths (lines 556,
581, 592), Codex host adapter block (lines 618-640), Factory host
adapter block (lines 658-678), OpenCode host adapter block (lines
696-731), Kiro host adapter block (lines 939-953), plus migration and
alias sites.

Add _print_windows_copy_note_once helper and call it from
link_claude_skill_dirs after any linking work completes so Windows
users see one user-visible note explaining they must re-run ./setup
after every git pull.

Extend cleanup_old_claude_symlinks and cleanup_prefixed_claude_symlinks
with a Windows branch: when the target is a real directory containing a
real-file SKILL.md (no symlink to readlink), and IS_WINDOWS=1, treat
the name-matched directory as gstack-managed and remove it. This makes
--prefix / --no-prefix flips work on Windows instead of leaving stale
copies behind.

Originated from @realcarsonterry PR #1462 (1 of 42 sites). Helper
extraction, 42-site rewrite, alias-resolution edge case, and Windows
cleanup compat authored on this branch.

* fix(docs): rename stale gbrain_sync_mode to artifacts_sync_mode + register /document-generate

Five stale gstack-config references in docs/ pointed to the deprecated
gbrain_sync_mode key (renamed to artifacts_sync_mode in v1.27.0.0):
- docs/gbrain-sync.md: lines 62, 110, 111, 173
- docs/gbrain-sync-errors.md: lines 26, 203

Users following the docs would set a key that gstack-brain-sync no
longer reads, silently breaking artifacts sync.

Originated from @realcarsonterry PR #1461 (verbatim).

Also register /document-generate in AGENTS.md (Operational + memory
table) and docs/skills.md (skill index). The skill shipped in v1.35.0.0
but the doc-inventory cross-check in test/skill-validation.test.ts was
failing because neither file mentioned it.

Allowlist the new test/docs-config-keys.test.ts file in
test/no-stale-gstack-brain-refs.test.ts — it intentionally lists the
deprecated keys in its DEPRECATED_KEYS denylist (defending the rename).

* ci(windows): migrate windows-free-tests to paid faster runner + register wave tests

Move the Windows free-test job from GitHub-hosted windows-latest to
Blacksmith's paid Windows runner (blacksmith-2vcpu-windows-2022).
Spin-up drops from ~60s to ~10s and Bun installs land 3-4x faster. The
label can swap to namespace-profile-windows or ubicloud-windows-* if
this repo's Blacksmith installation isn't configured.

Register the four new wave tests in the workflow's curated test list:
  - browse/test/server-sanitize-surrogates.test.ts
  - test/setup-windows-fallback.test.ts
  - test/build-script-shell-compat.test.ts
  - test/docs-config-keys.test.ts

These tests cover the Windows-hardening surface that this wave ships
(sanitizer wiring, _link_or_copy helper, build-script subshells, doc-
config drift), so they need to run on Windows where the bug shapes
actually manifest.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: wave coverage for sanitizer, link_or_copy, build script, doc drift

Four new test files (29 cases total):

browse/test/server-sanitize-surrogates.test.ts:
  - 11 unit cases for sanitizeLoneSurrogates (passthrough, valid pair,
    lone high/low mid-string, trailing/leading lone, adjacent doubles,
    pair-then-lone, lone-then-pair, empty)
  - 2 bug-repro tests pinning the regression intent (UTF-8 round-trip,
    JSON.parse round-trip with codepoint assertion)
  - 4 wiring invariants asserting the architectural choke points stay
    intact (handleCommandInternalImpl rename, central sanitization
    line, sanitizeReplacer function exists, SSE producers stringify
    with replacer)
  Function extracted from server.ts via regex + eval'd in test scope
  so no production-code export is needed.

test/setup-windows-fallback.test.ts:
  - Static invariant (D7): zero raw `ln` calls outside the
    _link_or_copy helper body and comments
  - Helper-existence assertions
  - 4-cell behavior matrix (file/dir × Windows/Unix) via awk-style
    helper extraction + bash -c sourcing
  - Windows-note printer registration check
  Mirrors test/setup-conductor-worktree.test.ts patterns.

test/build-script-shell-compat.test.ts:
  - Regex assertion that package.json scripts.* contain no bash brace
    groups (Bun-Windows-hostile)
  - Subshell-precedence check for `.version` redirects
  Strips single-quoted strings before regexing so embedded JS code
  inside echo '...' doesn't false-positive.

test/docs-config-keys.test.ts:
  - DEPRECATED_KEYS denylist scanned across docs/**/*.md
  - Round-trip test for `gstack-config get artifacts_sync_mode`
  Defends the v1.27.0.0 rename from doc drift.

Updates to two existing tests:
  - test/setup-conductor-worktree.test.ts: expect `_link_or_copy`
    instead of `ln -snf` at the Conductor-worktree guard call site
  - test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts: same swap at three assertion sites
    (Codex section, Claude link_claude_skill_dirs body, Codex
    link_codex_skill_dirs body)

* chore: bump v1.38.0.0 + build-script subshells + CHANGELOG

VERSION 1.35.0.0 → 1.38.0.0 (MINOR). PR #1500 (lyon-v2) claimed
v1.37.0.0 ahead of this branch; v1.38.0.0 is the next free MINOR slot
per bin/gstack-next-version queue check. Workspace-aware ship rule
applies — queue-advancing past a claimed version within the same
bump level is explicitly permitted.

package.json build script: three `{ git rev-parse HEAD ...; }` brace
groups → `( git rev-parse HEAD ... )` subshells. Bun's Windows shell
parser doesn't grok bash brace groups; subshells are POSIX-universal.
Originated from @realcarsonterry PR #1460.

CHANGELOG entry covers the full wave:
- Windows install hardening (42-site _link_or_copy + cleanup compat)
- Unicode sanitization architecture (handleCommandInternal + SSE
  replacer)
- Build script POSIX-shell compat (subshells)

Credits @realcarsonterry for PRs #1460, #1461, #1462, #1463 (the seed
of the wave). Scope expansion to all 42 setup sites, every server
egress path, Windows CI migration, and codex-flagged P0/P1 fixes

* docs: post-ship sync for v1.38.0.0

Document the two architectural invariants that landed in v1.38.0.0 in
their persistent homes (not just CHANGELOG):

- README Windows section: add the `./setup` re-run-after-git-pull
  requirement that `_print_windows_copy_note_once` shows at runtime.
- CONTRIBUTING "Things to know": add the no-raw-`ln` invariant for
  contributors editing `setup`, with the test that enforces it.
- ARCHITECTURE: new "Unicode sanitization at server egress" section
  between Shell injection prevention and Prompt injection defense,
  with egress table (HTTP/batch/SSE) and the post-stringify-regex
  rationale.
- CLAUDE.md: cross-references for both invariants, matching the
  v1.6.0.0 dual-listener pattern (each constraint says which files
  to read before editing and which test pins it).

* ci(windows): use windows-latest-8-cores instead of unregistered Blacksmith label

actionlint failed PR #1505 because `blacksmith-2vcpu-windows-2022` isn't
in the repo's approved runner-label list (actionlint.yaml only registers
`ubicloud-standard-2`, and Ubicloud doesn't ship a Windows pool).

Switch to GitHub's paid larger Windows runner `windows-latest-8-cores`
— 4x the cores of the free `windows-latest` at the larger-runner billing
rate, no new third-party CI provider, no actionlint config changes.

CHANGELOG: replace "Blacksmith" / "blacksmith-2vcpu-windows-2022" /
"~6x faster spin-up" claims with the actual choice (8 cores vs 4, paid
larger runner).

* ci(windows): switch from windows-latest-8-cores to ubicloud-standard-2-windows

`windows-latest-8-cores` sat queued indefinitely because the GitHub
larger-runner billing isn't enabled at the org level — the
"Queued — Waiting to run this check" status surfaced on PR #1505 with
no progress for the whole CI run.

Switch to Ubicloud Windows runners (`ubicloud-standard-2-windows`) so
Windows CI uses the same provider as the existing Linux evals
(`ubicloud-standard-2`). Billing stays under one account instead of
two.

Register the new label in actionlint.yaml alongside the existing
ubicloud-standard-2 entry so actionlint doesn't reject it as unknown.

CHANGELOG entry updated: runner row reflects the actual provider chosen,
"Itemized changes" mentions the actionlint.yaml registration, and the
narrative paragraph documents why `windows-latest-8-cores` failed first.

* ci: migrate all workflows to Ubicloud (Linux + Windows, 8-core)

Switch every `runs-on` in this repo to Ubicloud so CI has a single billing
surface, consistent capacity, and 4x more cores on the workloads that were
previously stuck on free `ubuntu-latest` (2 cores). Windows uses Ubicloud's
Windows pool too — `ubicloud-standard-8-windows` — so the queued-forever
problem with GitHub's `windows-latest-8-cores` paid larger runner (org-level
larger-runner billing not enabled) goes away.

Workflows touched (9):
- evals.yml, evals-periodic.yml, ci-image.yml — bump default + matrix from
  `ubicloud-standard-2` to `ubicloud-standard-8`. The one matrix entry that
  was already on -8 stays.
- windows-free-tests.yml — `ubicloud-standard-2-windows` → `ubicloud-standard-8-windows`.
- make-pdf-gate.yml — matrix `ubuntu-latest` → `ubicloud-standard-8`. macOS
  entry preserved; the poppler-install `if: matrix.os` conditional swaps to
  match the new label.
- actionlint.yml, pr-title-sync.yml, skill-docs.yml, version-gate.yml —
  `ubuntu-latest` → `ubicloud-standard-8`.

.github/actionlint.yaml registers all four Ubicloud labels in one place:
- ubicloud-standard-2
- ubicloud-standard-8
- ubicloud-standard-2-windows  (the v1.38.0.0 windows-free-tests target)
- ubicloud-standard-8-windows  (this PR's windows-free-tests target)

Removed the duplicate `actionlint.yaml` at the repo root that I accidentally
created in the prior commit — actionlint only reads `.github/actionlint.yaml`,
so the root file was dead weight.

CHANGELOG entry updated: a single "all Ubicloud" sentence in the narrative
plus a metrics-row covering the runner pool change, and the itemized line
expanded to enumerate the 9 affected workflows. The previously-orphaned
"Itemized changes" line about just `windows-free-tests.yml` is replaced.

* ci(windows): revert to free `windows-latest`

Ubicloud doesn't ship Windows runners — confirmed via their docs. The
`ubicloud-standard-*-windows` labels I added do not exist and were causing
`windows-free-tests` to sit "Queued — Waiting to run this check" forever
(GitHub Actions can't tell a typoed label from a self-hosted runner that's
about to register; it just waits).

Three prior Windows-runner attempts all failed for different reasons:
- `blacksmith-2vcpu-windows-2022` — Blacksmith app not installed on the org
- `windows-latest-8-cores` — GitHub paid larger-runner billing not enabled
- `ubicloud-standard-2/8-windows` — Ubicloud doesn't offer Windows at all

The free `windows-latest` runner (4 cores, ~60s spin-up, $0) is the one
path that actually runs. The wave-coverage Windows tests are <30s of real
work; total job time stays under 2 minutes.

Cleaned up `.github/actionlint.yaml` to drop the bogus
`ubicloud-standard-*-windows` entries — kept only the two real Linux labels.

CHANGELOG: split the runner-pool row into Linux (migrated to Ubicloud-8)
vs Windows (stays on free windows-latest), with the why on each. Itemized
line for windows-free-tests rewritten to reflect the actual outcome.

* test(windows): skip Unix-only cases on Windows runner

windows-free-tests on GitHub free windows-latest fails three cases that
depend on Unix tooling the runner doesn't have:

1. `setup-windows-fallback.test.ts` behavior matrix — IS_WINDOWS=0 cells
   assert `ln -snf` produces a real symlink. On Windows-without-Developer-
   Mode (which the free `windows-latest` runner is), `ln -snf` silently
   creates a file copy. That's literally the bug `_link_or_copy` exists
   to work around, so the assertion can never pass there. Skip the whole
   describe block on win32. The static-invariant test (zero raw `ln`
   outside the helper body) above the matrix still runs and pins the
   shape the Windows install relies on.

2. `docs-config-keys.test.ts` round-trip — spawnSync(`bin/gstack-config`)
   on Windows doesn't read the bash shebang and fails to exec. Skip on
   win32; the deprecated-key denylist test in the same file still runs
   and is the actual invariant defending the v1.27.0.0 rename at the doc
   layer.

Use `describe.skipIf(process.platform === 'win32', ...)` and
`test.skipIf(process.platform === 'win32', ...)`. Tests still run on
macOS and Linux unchanged.
