v2.10.0: Option D working-tree capture + inline-cat fix

[2.10.0] - 2026-05-20

Changed

• hooks/stride-hook.sh — capture_changed_files() now reflects the agent's full working state at completion time, not just committed history. The function uses git diff $base (no ..HEAD) so committed-since-base, staged-but-uncommitted, AND modified-but-unstaged changes all surface in a single pass, and adds a git ls-files --others --exclude-standard pass to enumerate untracked new files. Untracked text files appear as synthesized new-file unified patches (diffed against /dev/null via git diff --no-index --no-color); untracked binaries are detected via the Binary files ... differ sentinel that --no-index emits and use the existing binary placeholder string. A path that is both committed-since-base AND further modified in the working tree appears exactly once in the snapshot with a diff that reflects the final working-tree state. The 500-line per-file truncation rule and the [binary file — no diff captured] placeholder string are preserved unchanged.
• skills/stride-completing-tasks/SKILL.md — Three coordinated surface rewrites so agents stop the broken "separate cat then curl" pattern. (1) The canonical "API Request Format" section now leads with a bash/curl example that inlines the snapshot read via --argjson cf "$(cat \"$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.stride-changed-files.json\" 2>/dev/null || echo '[]')" INSIDE the jq -n that builds the curl's -d payload — followed by the JSON body shape as an illustrative supplement. The absolute $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/... path is used so a non-root agent CWD does not silently miss the file. (2) The Per-File Diff Capture (Optional) section now contains a "Why inline?" paragraph explaining that the PreToolUse-on-complete hook writes the snapshot DURING the curl call, so a separate Bash tool call BEFORE the curl reads the file before the hook populates it. (3) The pre-completion verification checklist item for changed_files is rewritten to test for the inline pattern + absolute path explicitly, replacing the older "read it and embed it verbatim" prose. A new "Working-tree semantic (v1.15.0+)" paragraph documents the broadened capture.
• hooks/test-stride-hook.sh — Test Group 7 grows from 14 cases to 19 cases with 5 new Option D cases (7o-7s): modified-uncommitted tracked file present in snapshot, staged-uncommitted change present, untracked new file appears as synthesized +++ b/<path> patch with +<content> body, untracked binary file emits the exact binary placeholder, and dedupe — a committed-then-further-modified path appears exactly once with the diff reflecting the final working-tree content. Existing 7i (HEAD~1 fallback), 7j (e2e after_doing), 7k (all-commented after_doing), and 7m (empty diff) fixtures updated to add a .gitignore for stride runtime artifacts (.stride.md, .stride-env-cache, .stride-changed-files.json) and to redirect subshell stdout to a sibling temp file rather than to a path inside the test's working directory — both adjustments accommodate the new untracked-file capture without weakening any assertion.
• plugin.json — Version bumped from 2.9.1 to 2.10.0 (the snapshot semantic broadens; the wire shape is unchanged).

Why this release

A Copilot CLI task completing without an intermediate commit produced an empty .stride-changed-files.json. Same root cause as stride 1.15.0: (a) capture_changed_files() was anchored to <base>..HEAD, so working-tree-only changes were invisible; (b) the canonical SKILL.md example read the snapshot in a separate Bash tool call BEFORE the curl, which means the PreToolUse-on-complete hook had not yet populated the file at read time. This release mirrors the stride 1.15.0 fix into stride-copilot — the snapshot now reflects the agent's working state regardless of commit state, and the canonical example inlines the snapshot read inside the curl invocation so the read happens AFTER the hook fires.

Backward compatibility

The wire shape of changed_files is unchanged — same path + diff keys, same 500-line truncation rule, same binary placeholder string. Completion payloads that omit changed_files entirely continue to validate (the empty-array form produced by the inline || echo '[]' fallback is also valid). Reviewers consuming the field see additional content under the new semantic — uncommitted edits and untracked new files now appear in /review whereas previously they were silently dropped.

Mirrors stride 1.15.0 (G157/W758) into stride-copilot. Delivered in copilot as W759 (combined SKILL.md + hook + tests + release). No marketplace coordination — stride-copilot ships by tag directly.
