docs: enumerate high-value upstream cherry-pick candidates

The origin↔upstream divergence is 4,589 commits. This file picks the
high-leverage subset (~70 commits across 16 topical clusters) worth
considering for cherry-pick. Recommended order at the bottom.

Each cluster lists candidate SHAs with one-line context and effort
estimates. Total estimated work if all clusters A-N are taken: ~10-15
hours plus conflict resolution. Cluster O (UnitContextManifest /
Composer rewrite, ~15 commits) is deferred — likely conflicts heavily
with our work and should be revisited during v3 schema reconciliation.

Cluster P (memories table cutover, 1 commit) is flagged as READ FIRST
because it's upstream's answer to what BUILD_PLAN calls Singularity
Memory integration; reading it may change the recommended integration
path.

This is a candidate list for human decision, not an action plan.

# Upstream cherry-pick candidates
A read-only enumeration of high-value commits in `gsd-build/gsd-2` (`upstream/main` at `fec206dda`, 2026-04-28) that are not in `singularity-ng/singularity-foundry/main` (at `b24f426f2`, 2026-04-29).
Total upstream-only commits: 4,589. This list is the **high-leverage subset** worth cherry-picking. Skipping the bulk of small/internal commits.
Clusters are roughly ordered by "take this first." Each cluster lists candidate SHAs with one-line context.

## P. Memories cutover (1 commit — relevant for v3 sm integration)
```
d3600f92f feat(gsd): cutover to memories table as single source of truth (ADR-013 step 6)
1f8e77172 Merge pull request #5002 from jeremymcs/fix/4967-memory-capture-error
```
Worth reading carefully — this is upstream's answer to what we're calling Singularity Memory integration. May change the recommended sm integration path in BUILD_PLAN.

## Recommended order of cherry-picks
Total estimated effort if we take all clusters AN: **~10-15 hours of focused work**, plus conflict resolution.
| Order | Cluster | Why first |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | B agent-session | Critical correctness, lands cleanly |
| 2 | F workflow state | Reliability of long auto runs |
| 3 | H security/data-integrity | We already partially cherry-picked H#1 |
| 4 | C claude-code permission | Small, isolated |
| 5 | A eval-review | New feature, atomic block |
| 6 | G providers | Trivial config |
| 7 | J rate limiting | Aligns with §19.6 |
| 8 | E worktree path safety | Conflicts likely; resolve carefully |
| 9 | I headless | Useful for autopilot |
| 10 | K MCP global config | Small |
| 11 | L doctor / orphan check | Small |
| 12 | D worktree TUI commands | Discretionary feature |
| 13 | M performance | If gains are real |
| 14 | N Windows | Skip if not a target |
| **DEFER** | O composer rewrite | Conflicts; revisit during v3 |
| **READ FIRST** | P memories cutover | Informs sm integration plan |
## Excluded from this list
- ~3,800 commits that are: chore, docs, test housekeeping, internal renames, CI tweaks, version bumps, dependency updates without our use case, branch-merge noise, revert-then-readd churn.
- Most `Merge pull request` commits where the underlying squash already represents the work.
If you want any of those clusters expanded with full file-touch lists before deciding, ask.
