v0.1.0

This is the frozen Claude 4 generation edition of Forge. It installs into Claude Code and gives you a single command, /forge4, that carries a project from a blank folder all the way to a tagged release. It works out what phase you are in, asks the right questions until it understands the problem, sets up the toolchain, then builds the thing test-first, keeping enough written state that you can walk away and pick up later in a fresh session.

On a Claude 5 model (Opus 5, Fable 5)? Use forge-workflow (/forge) instead, which is leaned out for v5. Both install side by side from the same dailen catalog, so keep whichever fits your model.

Added

• /forge4 orchestrator command: detects the current phase, reconciles the recorded state against the repository, and does the next thing.
• Phase 1 (/forge4-spec): requirements discovery to 95 percent confidence, producing docs/SRS.md behind a mandatory approval gate.
• Phase 2 (/forge4-env): toolchain and repository bootstrap, testing harness, git hooks, and CI. Windows and PowerShell specific today.
• Phase 3 (/forge4-code): test-driven implementation in vertical slices, branch per slice, with a pre-push gate running build, tests, lint, and a secret scan.
• forge4-standards: always-loaded engineering standards covering typography, testing discipline, git lifecycle, and resumability.
• SessionStart, PreToolUse, PostToolUse, and Stop hooks for state injection and drift detection, backed by four Node scripts.
