gald3r v1.6.0 -- WPAC v1.6, Schema System, Ship Skill, Encoding Normalization
Released: 2026-05-25
Version: 1.6.0
Type: Minor -- new features, no breaking changes
Previous release: v1.5.0
Highlights
Schema enforcement system
Every .gald3r/ file now carries version provenance, validated against 15 versioned
schema definitions. A read-only session-start probe flags drift in under a second, and a
data-preserving migration engine (migrate_schemas.ps1) upgrades older files in place.
g-medic gained an L1 validation layer that auto-fixes common schema gaps.
Semantic versioning and release management
New g-skl-ship skill and @g-ship command promote your CHANGELOG [Unreleased] section
to a real version: it bumps VERSION, tags the release, and can publish. Task and bug
completion now feed CHANGELOG entries automatically.
Dedicated bug-fix pipeline
@g-go-bugs (and its swarm variant) is an autopilot built only for bugs: it reproduces,
fixes, writes a regression test, and runs an adversarial cold review -- working through
your backlog in severity order, critical first.
Encoding normalization
A new pre-commit and stop-event hook normalizes line endings and BOM policy, with a
content-aware guard that leaves real binary files untouched. Shipped with a .gitattributes
scaffold and a one-command git-hooks installer so fresh installs are protected by default.
Cross-project promotion lifecycle
Workspace members can now graduate from a lightweight "controlled member" to a fully
independent "autonomous child" via @g-wpac-promote, with a formal, dry-run-first
lifecycle instead of hand-editing files.
Autopilot robustness
g-go-go gained a context-aware mode that shrinks its parallel batch size under context
pressure instead of stopping mid-run, plus a stop-detection guard that resumes a stalled
loop when it halts without an authorized reason.
Notable Fixes
- Cross-platform file corruption from an early coordination transition was cleaned up
across all framework trees, and a reusable cleanup script was added. - Several PowerShell hook parse and compatibility issues resolved.
- Root
VERSIONfile and.gald3r/releases/history are now created and backfilled by
both setup and@g-update. - Context Budget and Conflict Pattern hard rules restored to the core enforcement ruleset.
Install / Upgrade
From v1.5.x, run in your project:
# Recommended
@g-update --apply
# Or migrate schemas directly (idempotent, safe to re-run)
