v3.1.1

Skill Metadata Compatibility Patch

v3.1.1 Release Notes

D Research v3.1.1 is a focused metadata-compatibility patch for the skill
entrypoint. It does not change the research workflow, routing logic, helper
scripts, evidence-ledger schema, or trigger wording. The release makes the
SKILL.md frontmatter more robust for YAML parsers by converting the long
description from a single plain scalar into folded block scalar syntax.

What's New

• SKILL.md now uses description: >- for the long skill description. This
  preserves the exact trigger language while avoiding ambiguity around
  colon-bearing text such as Triggers:.
• README.md and README.vi.md now include v3.1.1 in the v3.x release sequence
  so users can distinguish the metadata-hardening patch from the broader v3.1.0
  documentation-polish release.
• Package metadata now reports version 3.1.1 in pyproject.toml,
  package.json, and package-lock.json.

Why It Matters

The skill entrypoint is the first file a runtime reads when deciding whether and
how to load D Research. The previous one-line description was valid in many YAML
parsers, but long plain scalars containing colon-bearing phrases can be brittle
across stricter or less forgiving parser implementations. v3.1.1 removes that
parser ambiguity without narrowing the skill, changing trigger intent, or
touching the operational research instructions.

Compatibility

• No workflow behavior changes.
• No trigger text changes.
• No new dependencies.
• No evidence-ledger schema changes.
• No script CLI changes.
• Existing v3.1.0 workspaces, ledgers, reports, eval fixtures, and release tags
  remain valid.

Upgrade Notes

Pull v3.1.1 if you want the safest public skill metadata surface. No migration is
required from v3.1.0; this release only hardens the YAML frontmatter format while
preserving the same D Research behavior.
