Vibe Coding Protocols v0.9.5 — AI Review-Engine Positioning and Evaluator Clarity

Vibe Coding Protocols v0.9.5 — AI Review-Engine Positioning and Evaluator Clarity

Release theme

Sharper category clarity, stronger evaluator guardrails, and more honest
positioning next to dedicated AI review engines.

What shipped

• a dedicated AI review-engine comparison surface;
• stronger README / evaluator framing around review engines vs governance
  layers;
• clearer “complement, not replacement” guidance for VCP alongside dedicated
  diff/file review tools;
• stronger current-limitations wording around no built-in line-level review
  engine;
• synced current-version markers across evaluator/adopter/public surfaces.

What did not ship

• a new built-in CLI review engine;
• autonomous line-level PR review comments;
• guaranteed NPE/XSS/SQLi/thread-safety detection;
• official plugin suite;
• IDE extension;
• marketplace install;
• hosted dashboard or SaaS.

Why this patch exists

VCP was already strong as a governance and rollout layer, but external readers
could still misclassify it as either:

• only documentation;
• only an AI review bot;
• or a replacement for dedicated review-engine products.

v0.9.5 hardens that public story without pretending a new product capability
already exists.

Validation status

Use repository checks, trust-check, cards/index validation, and unit tests.

No-overclaim boundary

VCP complements dedicated AI review engines.
It does not claim to replace them.
