BriefLoop v0.12.1
BriefLoop v0.12.1 — Delegation Boundaries And Product Governance Reference
v0.12.1 packages two already-merged documentation and adapter-boundary
increments on top of v0.12.0. It clarifies how experimental WorkBuddy /
CodeBuddy hosts divide drafting from deterministic control-plane work, and it
publishes the repo-local Northstar governance Skill plus the bilingual
Architecture Reference v0.4.0 reading edition.
Highlights
- Defines one two-phase WorkBuddy / CodeBuddy path: the exact checked-in role
agent drafts only its handoff-assigned artifact, then a command-capable main
session re-reads the handoff and runs the permitted BriefLoop CLI
transaction. - Makes missing main-session command capability a hard stop. A generic helper
or narrative claim is not evidence that the host invoked a BriefLoop role;
the host-visible invocation and return of the exact checked-in role is the
delegation evidence boundary. - Adds the repo-local Northstar product-governance Skill and bounded evals.
Northstar assesses options and recommends decisions; human product owners
retain outcome acceptance and effective product decisions. - Publishes bilingual Markdown and HTML Architecture Reference v0.4.0
editions, diagrams, reviewer notes, and a deterministic source/render guard.
The report is explicitly bound to the historical v0.11.12 code snapshot.
Boundaries
This patch release does not add a new persisted authority, schema, writer,
gate, delivery permission, release authority, semantic proof, or completed
first-user Pilot claim.
The WorkBuddy / CodeBuddy surfaces remain experimental and source-clone-only.
Role agents do not receive BriefLoop transaction authority. Current product
architecture and support truth remain in docs/architecture-status.md and
docs/support-matrix.md; the v0.4 report is a historical architecture
reference, not a replacement for those live sources.
