v3.8.0

Cadence can now show you where the loop stands without a command. On a Claude
Code version with mods support it loads a small module that draws a band above
the prompt and a pane on demand, and keeps its own agent listing out of every
session's prompt. On an older version the module never loads and nothing else
changes.

Added

• The band. One line above the prompt in any repo with .planning/: the
  phase, its status, any Cadence agent running right now with its rung, and the
  next command. It redraws when an agent starts or returns and after every tool
  call, and it composes with other mods that pass their neighbour's drawing
  through.
• /cad-panel, and p on the band. A pane with the current phase's plans
  and which are done, each running agent with the role, rung and model it was
  routed, the UAT counts with bars, the open captures, the phase's token spend
  as /cad-report totals it, and the next command. Cursor drift is named, not
  hidden.
• Host-priced token figures. A subagent dispatch whose return carried no
  token count is priced from the host's own usage for that agent, filed under
  the phase of the close that names it, and a return's own figure always wins.
• A plugin-validate CI job. claude plugin validate --strict runs on both
  manifests and fails if the validator stops reporting the module.
• Self-verify checks. Check 25 resolves every modules entry the way the
  host does, and check 26 keeps every Cadence agent and contract-skill
  description on one line, so the listing filter can always find the entry's
  end.

Changed

• Cadence's agent listing leaves the prompt on hosts with mods. The 30 rung
  agents' entries and the six contract skills' entries are filtered out of the
  listings the model reads, in every session and every repo, about 8,000
  characters. The agents still dispatch: the module restores the plugin prefix
  on the bare name route.mjs returns.
• The .planning/ walk is defined once and the three command hooks share
  it. git-guard otherwise behaves exactly as before; it stays a command hook.

Fixed

• /cad-phase insert rewrote shipped history. It now shifts phase
  references only on Pending ## Traceability rows, leaves Complete and
  Deferred rows byte-identical, lists every REQUIREMENTS line it will change at
  the confirmation gate, and names a Complete row left citing a moved phase.
• Risk carry crashed on an unreadable phase directory. A non-searchable
  phases/, or a phase directory that is readable but not searchable, now
  refuses as unlistable-phase with a hint to make the path readable and
  searchable, instead of internal with a raw EACCES.
• Stale docs. Every claim the docs-verify pass found stale in the README,
  the docs, INTERNALS, METHOD, MANIFESTO, LINEAGE, DESIGN and the figures now
  says what the code does.
