v0.8.0

Changed

• BREAKING: the project is renamed bmad-auto → bmad-loop. The distribution, console script,
  and CLI are now bmad-loop; the Python package is bmad_loop (was automator); the BMAD module
  code and marketplace plugin are bmad-loop (was bauto); per-project state moves from
  .automator/ to .bmad-loop/. The GitHub repo is now
  bmad-code-org/bmad-loop — old web and git URLs
  redirect. Clean break: no compatibility shims.
• BREAKING: renamed public identifiers. Env vars BMAD_AUTO_* → BMAD_LOOP_*; plugin
  entry-point group bmad_auto.plugins → bmad_loop.plugins; hook relays bmad_auto_hook.py /
  bmad_auto_probe_hook.py → bmad_loop_hook.py / bmad_loop_probe_hook.py; skills
  /bmad-auto-{setup,sweep,resolve} → /bmad-loop-{setup,sweep,resolve}; tmux session/window
  prefixes bmad-auto-* → bmad-loop-*; worktree branches automator/<run-id> →
  bmad-loop/<run-id>; TUI class BmadAutoApp → BmadLoopApp. Custom plugins, CLI profiles, and
  policy files that reference any of these must be updated.

Added

• New pre_commit_gate plugin workflow-injection stage. Gate workflows can bind to
  pre_commit_gate, which fires unconditionally just before every commit — on the review-converged,
  review-skipped, and review-budget-rescue paths alike — while the phase can still legally defer.
  TEA's trace/nfr/review gates rebind to it, fixing blocking gates that were previously inert
  whenever a dev session recommended no review follow-up (so on_pre_commit fail-opened on the
  missing artifacts).

Fixed

• A workflow session that finishes its work but never writes a completion marker no longer
  livelocks the run. Each result-less Stop used to refill the stall-nudge budget, re-nudging a
  responsive-but-signal-less session until session_timeout_min. The engine now appends an explicit
  completion contract (absolute marker path + frontmatter shape) to every workflow-session prompt,
  and a new limits.workflow_stall_nudges_cap (default 3) caps the total nudges a workflow session
  may receive — degrading a still-missing marker to "stalled" in ~30 min instead of hours. Dev/review
  session nudging is unchanged.
• On Windows, a live engine whose process identity can't be read now shows UNKNOWN instead of a
  false INTERRUPTED. psutil raises ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED for a process in another session or
  elevation, which the identity-aware liveness read had surfaced as dead — mislabeling running runs
  and weakening the resume/delete guards. Liveness is now tri-state (alive/dead/unknown) and
  biased away from false-dead; resume, resolve, delete, archive, and cleanup all surface and
  warn on unknown without ever letting an unverifiable pid block cleanup forever, and resolve
  gains --force to override a squatted-pid block.
• A review session that appends to the deferred-work ledger no longer leaves a sweep bundle
  unclosed. The bundle ledger is reclosed after review (journaled distinctly as
  sweep-bundle-reclosed), and the review prompt now states the ledger is append-only for sessions.
• Worktree git-exclude patterns now anchor correctly on native Windows. install.py normalizes
  backslashes in the per-worktree exclude paths so the ignore rules match (a no-op on POSIX).

Migration

• Reinstall the tool under its new name — uv can't rename a package in place:
  uv tool uninstall bmad-auto, then
  uv tool install "bmad-loop[tui] @ git+https://github.com/bmad-code-org/bmad-loop.git".
• Re-run /bmad-loop-setup (or bmad-loop init directly). init migrates a project in place:
  it strips the old .automator/ Stop hook from each CLI's settings, removes the bmad-auto-*
  skill dirs, and carries .automator/policy.toml over to .bmad-loop/policy.toml. Setup folds the
  old bauto config into bmad-loop and clears the leftover bauto config section, stale
  BMAD Automator Skills help rows, and the _bmad/bauto/ installer dir.
• Legacy .automator/ is left in place (runs, archives, profiles, plugins) and can be deleted
  or hand-moved once the migration is confirmed; stale .automator/* gitignore lines are left
  untouched.
