Hardwire 0.9.0: action contracts for agents

Hardwire 0.9.0

Agentic actions. Without the clicks.

This release makes the inspection toolkit easier to distribute. The desktop
bundle includes the server and locked runtime dependencies. Its five tools infer
and validate contracts from supplied HTML and JSON; they do not log in, make
payments or execute inferred operations.

Try the three scenes
· Desktop installation

One concrete experiment

With Node 22 or newer:

npx --yes --ignore-scripts --package=https://github.com/Automatron-workflows/hardwire/releases/download/v0.9.0/hardwire-0.9.0.tgz hardwire-form

The bundled settings form produces a candidate contract. Boolean false passes;
string "false" is rejected. Add --json to inspect the generated MCP tool.
Replace hardwire-form with hardwire-experiment to run all three local scenes.

Downloads and verification

The release contains .tgz and .mcpb packages, matching registry server.json
and SHA256SUMS. The release workflow downloads and verifies the uploaded assets,
installs the tarball in a fresh project, and extracts and tests the bundle through
actual MCP calls before publication. No package installation is needed to run
the extracted bundle; its host still needs a compatible Node runtime.

The MCP Registry publishing workflow uses the GitHub bundle and repository OIDC
identity, so it does not need an npm account or token. Registry publication is a
separate operation after this release. Native desktop host setup remains
unverified. npm publication still needs a verified owner and package scope.

The README now leads with one reproducible task, and the website includes social
preview metadata using the existing artwork. The approved visual journey is
preserved. All account and payment examples remain local fixtures.

Published to the official MCP Registry on 14 November 2026. The active 0.9.0 entry matches the downloadable bundle digest.
