Inline comments:
In @.claude/skills/gh-stack/SKILL.md:
- Line 60: Update the patch fallback guidance near the temporary worktree option
to use git diff HEAD so both staged and unstaged tracked changes are captured,
while preserving the existing requirement to handle untracked files separately
or use a temporary worktree.
- Line 60: Update the patch-file workflow in the gh-stack instructions to create
a unique temporary file with mktemp or equivalent exclusive creation, then write
the git diff to that generated path instead of redirecting to a predictable /tmp
path.
- Line 60: Update the patch-handling guidance in the gh-stack skill to use a
uniquely created private temporary directory via mktemp -d, write the patch with
restrictive 0600 permissions, and remove the temporary directory after
reapplying it instead of using a predictable shared path.
- Around line 143-147: Update the gh stack rebase conflict-resolution guidance
to make keeping both sides conditional: first verify the changes are
independent, then combine them only when safe. Otherwise resolve the conflict
semantically, avoiding duplicate cases, fields, or incompatible logic, and run
the affected checks.
- Around line 102-104: Update the guidance around gh stack rebase and gh stack
sync to require a fully clean worktree, including no unstaged or uncommitted
changes, before running either command; direct users to commit or safely move
all local changes rather than only unstaging them.
In `@docs/prd/aws-cloudformation-component.md`:
- Line 902: Resolve the unused TimeoutInMinutes field in the CloudFormation
component by either removing the timeout_in_minutes mapping from the
manifest/schema documentation or defining an explicit initial-create lifecycle
path that uses CreateStack with documented plan and apply semantics. Keep the
existing CreateChangeSet and ExecuteChangeSet lifecycle unchanged unless the
create path is added.
- Around line 439-447: Update the plan/diff preview cleanup flow so that when
ChangeSetType=CREATE creates a temporary REVIEW_IN_PROGRESS root stack, it calls
DeleteStack after deleting the preview changeset. Ensure failure to delete
either the changeset or temporary stack is surfaced as a command error or
retryable cleanup result, while preserving existing cleanup for previews
targeting existing stacks.
- Around line 560-563: Update the NoEcho documentation to state that AWS masks
parameter values in DescribeStacks, DescribeStackEvents, and DescribeChangeSet
responses, while values propagated into Outputs, template Metadata, or resource
Metadata remain unmasked; retain the separate description of Atmos masking.
- Around line 751-758: Update the CloudFormation deletion documentation to state
that configured role_arn is passed as DeleteStack.RoleARN, and document the
fallback to the stack’s previously associated role or a temporary
caller-credential session when role_arn is unset. Keep this service role
distinction separate from caller credentials and the changeset execution flow.
- Around line 563-568: Revise the NoEcho masking guarantee to acknowledge that
literal value masking does not cover non-preserving intrinsic transformations
such as Fn::Select over Fn::Split in Outputs or Metadata. Narrow the claim about
universal masking and recommend dynamic references for secrets that must not
enter stack outputs.

In `@docs/prd/aws-cloudformation-component.md`:
- Around line 583-586: Revise the dynamic-reference guidance to state that
secrecy is guaranteed only in supported resource-property contexts, not in
Outputs or template/resource Metadata. Explicitly prohibit placing secrets or
derived secret values in Outputs, either Metadata scope, or resource primary
identifiers, and avoid claiming that dynamic references prevent exposure in
those locations.
- Around line 449-454: Update the placeholder-stack cleanup flow around
DeleteStack so plan/diff waits for deletion to complete before returning. Use
polling or the AWS waiter, and surface DELETE_FAILED or timeout as cleanup
errors while preserving the existing changeset cleanup behavior.

Promotes CloudFormation out of the custom-component escape hatch into a first-class, SDK-native component type (no shell-out, since AWS archived Rain), and establishes the aws/* namespace for future AWS-native primitives. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Numbered/bulleted list continuation lines used 3- or 5-space indents; editorconfig requires multiples of 2 for markdown. Aligns with this repo's established 4-space (not 3-space) convention for numbered-list continuations, seen across most other docs/prd/*.md files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Captures two repo-specific pitfalls hit while stacking the aws/cloudformation implementation branches: gh stack checkout/switch doesn't clear the git index, so staged changes for identical files ride along across branch switches; and atmos-validate-editorconfig validates the whole tree, not the diff, so a lower stack layer's unfixed file can fail a commit on an upper layer that never touched it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…t over local pairwise diffs A real incident this session: git merge-tree between two adjacent stack branches' current tips showed zero conflicts, and merge-base --is-ancestor confirmed a strict fast-forward relationship, leading to concluding GitHub's reported conflict was a stale false positive. It wasn't — gh stack sync/rebase immediately reproduced the same conflict in the same files, because main had advanced past the stack's base since it was built, and a pairwise diff of the branches' current commits can't see what happens once the stack gets rebased onto current main (which is what actually determines mergeability). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
docs/prd/aws-cloudformation-component.md: - Fixed a workflow example using `command: cloudformation deploy <component>` instead of the actual `aws cloudformation` namespace. - Rewrote the Rollback & Stack Policy section: it described a nonexistent `on_failure` field with DO_NOTHING/ROLLBACK/DELETE values; the actual implementation only has `disable_rollback`, mapped to whichever of CreateChangeSet's OnStackFailure or ExecuteChangeSet's DisableRollback applies (mutually exclusive on a single changeset). - Documented termination_protection's apply-side lifecycle (a follow-up UpdateTerminationProtection call after every successful apply, applied unconditionally) alongside its already-documented delete-side behavior. - Noted macro/transform templates (Fn::Transform, AWS::Serverless) need no special handling — CreateChangeSet expands them given CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND like any other capability. - Clarified NoEcho masking: CloudFormation's own NoEcho only hides values in the AWS Console, not API responses or Outputs/Metadata; Atmos's own value-based masker registration is what actually protects those values wherever they resurface, not just the original parameter field. Verified against current code before editing (packaging conditionality was already accurate — dismissed that finding). .claude/skills/gh-stack/SKILL.md: - Corrected "gh stack checkout is a thin wrapper over git checkout" — it resolves stack/PR numbers and URLs, fetches branches, and sets up local tracking; only the final branch switch goes through plain git checkout. - Fixed the clean-state rule: `git restore --staged .` alone doesn't get you to a clean state — it leaves working-tree modifications in place, which ride along to the next branch the same way staged changes do. - Stopped recommending `gh stack sync` as a "read-only" way to reproduce a conflict — per its own --help, it fetches, reconciles, cascade-rebases, and pushes every branch atomically. `gh stack rebase` reproduces the same conflict locally without pushing anything. - Documented `gh stack submit`'s non-atomicity (4 sequential steps; a mid-run failure can leave branches pushed with no PR yet; safe to rerun). Found via CodeRabbit review. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ety rule gh-stack SKILL.md's clean-state rule told agents to discard uncommitted work by default before switching stack layers, contradicting this repo's Git Safety Protocol. Rewrite it to require preserving the work first (a throwaway WIP commit or an out-of-repo patch/worktree copy), only falling back to discard with explicit per-change user approval. The PRD documented role_arn as passed to CreateStack/UpdateStack, which contradicts its own statement that every deploy goes through CreateChangeSet+ExecuteChangeSet; correct it to describe RoleARN on CreateChangeSetInput. Document that plan/diff cleans up its preview changeset via a best-effort DeleteChangeSet (phase4 already implements this). Clarify that the stack-policy follow-up call doesn't govern the apply that just ran, only future ones. State cross-account S3 packaging permissions as a required, unautomated operator prerequisite rather than implying the per-target auth model alone covers it end-to-end -- no phase branch currently provisions or verifies target-account IAM/bucket policy for CloudFormation's own cross-account s3:GetObject.
…skill Fix a factually-wrong NoEcho masking claim (AWS does mask NoEcho values in DescribeStacks/DescribeStackEvents/DescribeChangeSet, contrary to the prior text), narrow the masking guarantee to literal values (non-preserving transforms like Fn::Select/Fn::Split can still leak), document DeleteStack's role_arn/fallback behavior, cover changeset-CREATE's REVIEW_IN_PROGRESS placeholder-stack cleanup, and drop the unreachable timeout_in_minutes field (no CreateChangeSet/ExecuteChangeSet equivalent exists). In the gh-stack skill, fix the patch-fallback guidance to use `git diff HEAD` (a bare `git diff` drops staged changes) written via mktemp/mktemp -d instead of a predictable /tmp path, require a fully clean worktree (not just unstaging) before gh stack rebase/sync, and make the "keep both sides" conflict guidance conditional on the two sides actually being independent.
…holder-stack cleanup and dynamic references CodeRabbit re-reviewed the prior fix commit and caught two gaps in it: - DeleteStack is asynchronous — it only requests deletion and returns immediately. The placeholder REVIEW_IN_PROGRESS stack cleanup needs to poll (or use the StackDeleteComplete waiter) until deletion actually completes, not just fire the call, since a subsequent apply's ChangeSetType=CREATE is invalid against a stack still in DELETE_IN_PROGRESS/REVIEW_IN_PROGRESS. - The dynamic-reference guidance overclaimed a general secrecy guarantee. Dynamic references only protect a value in supported resource-property contexts; a template can still wire the resolved value into Outputs, template/resource Metadata, or a resource's primary identifier, where CloudFormation exposes it as plaintext same as any other value. Narrowed the claim and explicitly listed those as forbidden destinations for secrets regardless of delivery mechanism.
