Release v0.34.0

0.34.0

Released 2026-07-31

Compatibility

engine 0.34.x  ↔  adapters 0.8.x  (WIT emery:adapter@0.1.0, floor ≥ 0.34.0)

Hard cut for operator surface: emery plan approve is gone; Gate 1 is the first emery plan execute. Update skills, scripts, and docs that still call approve or the old merge/journal subcommands.

Added

• emery plan author --force — replace a replaceable pending plan (lifecycle: pending and every entry pending); otherwise already-exists / plan-author-not-replaceable.
• Merge re-entry healing when commit/archive succeeded but the plan entry never reached done; plan execute auto-dispatches merge on merge-incomplete stops.

Changed

• Gate 1 is emery plan execute. The standalone emery plan approve verb is removed. First execute on a pending plan stamps approved (idempotent), journals plan.transition.approved with --actor (default operator), then runs the drained loop. /emery:execute wraps the same verb behind confirmation; /emery:plan exits at pending and prints the literal execute command.
• emery plan transition is --undo only — forward done is owned solely by emery slice merge.
• Journal drops emit; every journal write remains an orchestration side effect. emery journal show is unchanged.
• emery slice merge run absorbs --preview and --conflict-check (dedicated merge subcommands removed from CLI/HTTP).
• emery plan status no longer stops on plan-not-approved; pending plans still project the next phase with resume: /emery:execute.
• Quick start and skill wrappers use bare adapter names and plain --intent strings instead of pinned intent=…:value:… plan bindings.
