PDF generation and display, specifically Unicode character support and AI model tool invocation.

Robust, localized PDF reporting and reliable AI agent interaction with external tools.
This issue consolidates critical failures in both PDF generation and AI agent functionality. The `FPDFUnicodeEncodingException` confirms a systemic font issue, preventing rendering of Chinese characters ("股") due to reliance on non-Unicode fonts like "helvetica." This directly impacts the produc...

Completion of the namespace meta-skill architecture to suppress flat skill listings in the system prompt.

Optimizing AI model context window usage and improving skill discoverability by reducing prompt clutter.
This enhancement addresses a critical architectural deficiency: the failure to suppress flat skill listings despite a prior attempt to implement a namespace meta-skill architecture. The current state, where ~71 skill entries appear in the system prompt, directly contradicts the intended token opt...

Bug fixes for `gsd-sdk query milestone.complete` output generation, specifically `MILESTONES.md` accuracy.

Ensuring data integrity and accurate reporting for project milestones and roadmap tracking.
This tracking issue addresses critical data integrity and reporting bugs within the `gsd-sdk query milestone.complete` functionality. The identified issues—duplicated headers, phase leakage, and incorrect one-liner extraction—result in "noisy, incorrect" `MILESTONES.md` outputs. This directly und...

Persistence of in-progress analysis data across web page refreshes.

Robust web application state management, ensuring data continuity and a seamless user experience.
This issue reveals a fundamental flaw in the web application's state management: in-progress analysis data is lost upon page refresh. This directly impacts user productivity and trust, as any interruption or accidental refresh erases ongoing work. For a trading analysis framework, data persistenc...

PDF rendering of Markdown content for improved readability.

Professional, highly readable PDF report generation with proper Markdown formatting.
This issue identifies a critical user experience gap: PDF reports are generated with raw Markdown formatting, significantly reducing readability. Users expect professionally rendered documents, not unformatted text. This indicates a missing or inadequate Markdown-to-PDF rendering pipeline. For a ...

Documentation of the Runtime Install Policy Module boundary via an Architectural Decision Record (ADR).

Formalizing architectural decisions to ensure clarity, maintainability, and clear ownership boundaries for runtime installation processes.
This issue focuses on a crucial architectural governance task: formalizing the Runtime Install Policy Module boundary through an Architectural Decision Record (ADR). This initiative aims to clearly delineate responsibilities, ensuring that the install policy module focuses solely on abstract inst...

Improving installation documentation and verification for user onboarding.

Enhancing user experience through clear, comprehensive, and verifiable installation instructions.
This tracking issue addresses a fundamental user onboarding problem: inadequate installation documentation. The proposed changes—adding explicit prerequisites (Node.js, npm, Git), version checks, and an install verification step (`gsd-tools --help`)—directly reduce friction for new users. The cur...

Vertical MVP Slice mode for project planning and execution.

Shifting from horizontal (layer-by-layer) to vertical (end-to-end feature) planning to enable earlier validation and reduce architectural risk for solo developers using AI coding tools.
This feature proposal addresses a fundamental limitation in current project planning: the generation of "horizontal build plans" where no functional software exists until late in the development cycle. For solo developers leveraging AI coding tools, this delays validation and amplifies architectu...

Time-range configuration for data analysis.

Flexible and granular control over data analysis periods for user-defined insights.
This feature request highlights a critical limitation in the analysis capabilities: the absence of configurable start and end times for data analysis. Users require granular control over the analysis period, such as "monthly analysis," to derive specific insights. The current lack of this functio...

PDF generation with correct character encoding and font embedding for universal readability.

Cross-platform and cross-viewer compatibility for generated PDF reports.
This issue highlights a critical PDF rendering inconsistency: generated PDFs appear corrupted ("乱码") in Chrome, despite opening correctly in Windows PDF software. This points to a font embedding or character encoding problem within the PDF generation process, specifically its compatibility with...

Workflow recovery and state management after execution interruptions.

Robust, fault-tolerant workflow execution with clear recovery paths, preventing data loss or manual intervention.
This issue exposes a critical flaw in workflow resilience and state recovery. The system's inability to automatically resume partially executed phases after interruptions (e.g., token exhaustion, API disruption) leads to `current_phase` misalignment and potential data loss. The absence of a "Resu...

PDF export functionality, specifically handling of non-ASCII characters.

Robust PDF generation supporting Unicode characters for A-share market data.
This issue highlights a critical localization failure in the PDF export feature. The system's inability to render Chinese characters ("股") due to font limitations ("helvetica" vs. Unicode) directly impacts usability for its stated A-share market context. This indicates a fundamental oversight in...

Implementation of branch protection rulesets for repository security and integrity.

Establishing robust CI/CD pipeline security, code quality, and governance through enforced branch protection.
This issue details a critical infrastructure upgrade: implementing comprehensive branch protection. The current state of zero protection, allowing force-pushes and admin-merges to bypass workflow gates, represents a significant security and code integrity vulnerability.

Documentation-Driven Development (DDD) mode for project initialization.

Expanding project initialization methodologies to support documentation as the primary specification artifact, alongside existing requirements-driven approaches.
This proposal introduces a significant strategic shift: Documentation-Driven Development (DDD) as a first-class project initialization mode. It acknowledges that for specific product types (CLIs, SDKs, APIs), user-facing documentation serves as the de facto specification, rendering traditional `R...
