Minor — first real-substance bundle in the toolkit after the example-bundle stub. Paired with agentic-harness v2.6.1 (paired-doc-only — bundle is pure toolkit packaging).

What's new

Ships quality-gates — one-command install for the 4 base operator-control + verification primitives that earn their keep on every agentic-harness /work session:

  • evaluator sub-agent (fresh-context rubric grading; ADR 0002)
  • kill-switch hook (PreToolUse halt sentinel; ADR 0003)
  • steer hook (PreToolUse mid-session redirect; ADR 0003)
  • commit-on-stop hook (Stop dirty-tree safety branch; ADR 0003)
  • evidence-tracker hook (PreToolUse default-FAIL on PLAN.md [x] flips; ADR 0009)

Why this matters

Pre-#10, operators adopting harness /work had to install each primitive individually + remember they all wanted the full set. Real-world adopters routinely missed one — usually commit-on-stop, the safety net you only notice when a session crashes mid-task. The bundle closes that gap:

bash agent-toolkit/install.sh <target-project> --bundle quality-gates

Lands all 5 primitives at .claude/ paths + merges 4 settings.json registrations (3 PreToolUse + 1 Stop) atomically.

Notable design call — operator-driven pivot

Original plan: COPY pattern (each primitive's files duplicated under bundles/quality-gates/) + CI parity gate. Matched the existing example-bundle precedent.

Operator pushed back: "wait why did we make a bunch of copies?" The example-bundle precedent was set by a one-stub-skill toy + didn't survive contact with a real 5-primitive set.

Pivoted to sibling-reference: bundle directory contains only bundle.md; the installer resolves each contents: entry against the standalone toolkit primitive. Bundle is metadata pointing at standalone primitives, single source of truth. -1992 lines vs. the COPY pivot; zero ongoing maintenance burden.

Full design rationale + 2 locked design calls Q1-Q2 + 4 load-bearing assumptions in ADR 0010.

Operator-facing doc

Use The Quality-Gates Bundle how-to — when-to-use guide + 5-step install + post-install state + verification + troubleshooting.

Internal

  • 6 commits across plan #10 (1 reverted COPY commit + sibling-reference pivot + smoke tests + 2 Windows CI fixes + docs + this release).
  • 2 cross-platform Python gotchas caught + fixed mid-plan: pwsh Join-Path doesn't mkdir (added explicit New-Item); inline python3 -c open() uses cp1252 on Windows (added explicit encoding='utf-8'). Same family as prior plans' CRLF / cp1252 / Start-Process arg-split bugs.
  • Bundle dispatch is now contents-driven (was alphabetical-from-directory-listing). Install order = contents: order in the manifest.

Coordinated-release ordering

7th consecutive paired-release pair (after v0.9.0 / v0.9.2 / v0.10.0 / v0.11.0 / v0.11.1 / v0.12.0). This release tagged first; harness v2.6.1 notes URL-link back here per [[coordinated-release-order]].
