0.14.1 — 2026-07-09

Release Notes

Follow-ups from the first real-world use of the plan preview (a 23-task plan
reviewed through six rounds of the paste-back loop). All changes apply to
load plan.

Added

• Authoring guardrails in load plan check — a per-phase task breakdown
  after validation, plus four non-gating advisories that catch plans which
  validate but read badly: long_summary (executive summary past 1,500
  chars), wall_of_text (a long summary with no paragraph breaks),
  long_goal (a goal_md that reads as a second summary), and
  long_key_point (spec-compressed bullets). Each hint names the fix. The
  schema reference grew matching guidance: goal-vs-summary roles, short
  paragraphs, plain-language key points, and markdown (tables, code blocks,
  task lists) for scannability.
• Big plans are supported — the per-string limit rose from 10,000 to
  65,536 chars (the 2 MiB document cap remains the ceiling), and the
  loadout-plan-preview skill now tells the authoring agent to never
  compress plan content to fit limits — for genuinely huge plans it should
  surface the token cost and offer a markdown plan instead. A plan using
  longer strings reports a clear string_too_long on older loadouts; the
  fix is load update.

Changed

• The review page got its first-contact redesign — the page centers
  under a width ceiling; the byline sits above the title as an eyebrow with
  the created date; the summary card pairs the executive prose with an
  "At a glance" rail (task/phase counts, a per-phase rollup with compact
  estimates and risk heat, the risk register, and the ready/blocked banner);
  key points get accent markers and flow into two columns on wide screens.
• Feedback copy is human-first — the copied block leads with the
  readable markdown mirror; the canonical fenced JSON (stable refs,
  plan_hash, blocking flags) follows in a labeled block. "Copy feedback"
  stays disabled until a comment exists, open questions get an Answer
  CTA, and the reviewed checkbox became a labeled Mark reviewed toggle.

Fixed

• Phase descriptions were rendered inside the collapsed <details> and so
  were invisible until a phase was expanded; the first paragraph now shows
  as a teaser in the collapsed row (any remaining block content renders in
  the expanded body — teasers are strictly phrasing-safe, a review finding).
• Dependency-graph node labels hard-truncated at 28 characters on one line;
  they now word-wrap to two lines, nodes grew to fit, and every node carries
  a full-title tooltip.
• Per-criterion comment buttons overflowed their one-line rows and stacked
  into a misaligned column; line anchors now use a hover-revealed, icon-only
  line-comment treatment while card-level buttons stay persistent.
