[0.4.1] - 2026-09-04

Patch release from the v0.4.0 maintenance line (no minor features; current
master-only additions such as task archive --completed and
TASK-COMPLETED-IN-ACTIVE are intentionally excluded and remain targeted at
a future minor). The Browser Companion experiment remains paused on its
separate branch and is not part of this release.

Fixed

• Builtin skill template correctness (backport of the TASK-0077 audit,
  adapted to the v0.4.x capability surface): ackit-workflow no longer
  instructs the invalid ackit task "<title>" shorthand (correct syntax is
  ackit task create "<title>") and now covers the shipped workflow surface
  (task-first plan, intent when required, workflow profiles/stages,
  plan/spec/decision refs, checkpoints/resume/handoff, evidence,
  verification/verdict, composed completion gate, no false completion, final
  task archive <id> lifecycle, doctor/task doctor/scan gates);
  ackit-scan-and-fix documents the exact inline suppression form
  (# ackit-ignore:ACKITnnn <reason>), severity triage, and the
  non-suppressible ACKIT099 advisory with no gate weakening;
  ackit-context-optimization documents deterministic task-aware packs
  (--task/--resume), budget behavior, and optimize --fix fenced to
  ACKit-managed surfaces; ackit-policy-authoring documents Policy
  v2 tiers/autonomy where public, deterministic layered merge, locks, and
  offline-only resolution verified via ackit policy check.
• Skills install/sync --force CLI wiring: the flag was read from
  the parent command options instead of the subcommand options, so it was
  silently ignored and owned-modified skills stayed conflicted. Both
  subcommands now honor --force (third-party skills are still refused even
  with --force).

Added

• Builtin-skill ↔ CLI/package regression tests: tests/contract/ skills-parity.test.ts (builtin discovery, frontmatter/name/path, explicit
  command-case ↔ CLI --help smoke, stale-syntax and master-only-helper
  negative probes, npm packaging whitelist) and tests/integration/skills/ force-cli.test.ts (CLI-level --force behavior incl. third-party
  refusal).

Compatibility

• Backward compatible patch: no new commands, options, skills, or findings;
  legacy repositories keep their supported defaults.
• No new network/LLM dependency: the offline-first invariant is preserved
  and gated.
• MCP remains read-only: all state mutation stays CLI-only.

Distribution

• npm: @cynrath/agent-context-kit@0.4.1
• Node >= 22
• npm/npx distribution via OIDC Trusted Publishing + provenance
• legacy .NET/NuGet line unchanged
