v0.17.0

0.17.0 (2026-08-03)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• work: a repo setting work.queueBranch: true now needs a workflow that cuts the queue branch and opens its PR. The drain previously did both and stopped the whole run when it could not.
• skills: a config mapping work.linear.states.done no longer moves the board on the accept verdict; add states.accepted (and list it in statuses) to restore it. Until then the accept verdict leaves the state untouched, which is the existing "unmapped step" behaviour and the intended failure direction — a board that lags rather than one that claims a ship.

v0.16.0

0.16.0 (2026-07-27)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• write-docs: docs.preset no longer accepts "library". A repo set to it renames the value to "package"; nothing else about the preset changes.
• write-docs: docs.preset no longer accepts "ai-tool". A repo set to it must move to another preset — library for a published skill or agent set.

Features

• skills: mirror the check-command contract into every gate-running skill (f6c62f3)
• skills: mirror the single-flight lock spec into the work skills (286e372)

v0.15.0

0.15.0 (2026-07-26)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• skills: state every config key explicitly and trust two bots
• skills: work.labels.review is now work.labels.reviewRequested, and work.linear.states.review is now work.linear.states.reviewRequested. A repo setting either key must rename it; an unrenamed key is silently ignored and the label falls back to its default.
• skills: work.verify moved to the root verify key. A repo that set it inside the work block must lift it one level; the schema no longer accepts it there. mergeDeps.verify is unchanged and now falls back to the root key.
• skills: every skill path changed from skills// to skills///. Skill names are unchanged, so skills.sh installs and invocation are unaffected, but deep links into a skill's files and hand-copy instructions need the category segment. Re-run pnpm skills:link to repoint existing symlinks.
• work-implement-queue: work-implement-queue and work-review-queue no longer prompt for a batch confirmation before draining approved (ai: ready / review) issues; the lifecycle label is the approval. Use a plan-only/dry-run trigger to preview.
• skills: the work-issue/work-queue skills are renamed to work-implement/work-implement-queue, and two new lifecycle labels (ai: changes requested, ai: needs human) must exist — create them in the infrastructure label catalog (GitHub + Linear) before running the loops.
• skills: config keys renamed/removed — issue.tracker (was issue.backend), work.tracker (was work.backend), the mergeDeps section (was deps), and the root forge key (replaces the per-section pr.backend / release.backend / deps.backend).
