v0.6.13

Release Notes - v0.6.13

Summary

• Added a release-recovery path for branch_pr batches so verified included tasks that already landed can be reconciled instead of looping on a missing worktree route.
• Improved agent-facing route diagnostics, task cleanup reports, PR publication safety, and merge-state explanations for protected-base release work.
• Removed legacy runtime task snapshot dependencies and direct Redmine backend code while keeping cloud sync, provider-neutral task envelopes, and hook behavior covered by focused tests.
• Strengthened release readiness by closing stale included batch tasks, requiring final untracked artifact audits, and recording the hosted publish evidence from the previous patch.

Added

• Added release tasks reconcile behavior that can close included batch tasks from primary landed metadata instead of delegating to a no-op normalize path. (7525825)
• Added regression coverage for the full fast-gate surfaces affected by release recovery, including route decisions and reconcile behavior. (e824b3f)
• Added an executable release-recovery route packet that gives agents concrete next-action fields for checkout, command, blocker, and phase decisions. (e92182c)
• Added an agent execution packet for task route decisions so automated agents can consume structured routing without reconstructing workflow state. (ffa9f7c)
• Added a provider-neutral task sync envelope to decouple task state synchronization from a single external backend model. (2dfb01b)
• Added sync-contract surfaces for task state exchange so future backend integrations can validate shape and behavior more consistently. (faba91e)

Improved

• Kept release-recovery code within lint policy by tightening imports and style after the new command and route logic landed. (1ea5b76)
• Moved route-recovery tests out of an oversized hotspot so the release keeps the test suite below enforced file-size thresholds. (aff64d8)
• Refreshed generated CLI reference docs so the new release reconciliation command appears in user-facing command documentation. (bd0a88f)
