Summary

DX, onboarding, and PyPI publishing release.

  • Improved README onboarding flow: team setup guidance, expected output examples, troubleshooting flowchart, quick navigation, pipx rationale, and GitHub install alternative
  • Added GitHub Discussion templates: onboarding-feedback, first-run-report, model-cost-feedback
  • Added PyPI publish job to release workflow using OIDC trusted publishing (no API tokens)
  • Added PyPI badge and updated install instructions in README to pipx install vstack
  • Updated architect and product agent model list (Opus 4.7)
  • Fixed test test_install_and_verify_exits_zero writing to repo root instead of tmp_path
  • Simplified release workflow job names: release, build, publish
  • Fixed build job missing fetch-depth: 0 (needed for poetry-dynamic-versioning)
  • Fixed download-artifact@v5 / upload-artifact@v7 version mismatch → both now v7
