v0.9.1: Workspace Autonomy, Parity & Offline Bootstrapper
TorusGuard v0.9.1: Workspace Autonomy, Parity & Offline Bootstrapper
Release Version: v0.9.1
Date: September 2, 2026
Status: Official Release
馃殌 Overview
TorusGuard v0.9.1 solves the critical delivery gap for external installations via npx skills add. In previous versions, the open skills CLI only copied the skills/ directory, leaving external workspaces without the necessary .torusguard/ templates, scripts, rules, and agents.
v0.9.1 achieves full Workspace Autonomy and complete structural parity with the reference .agent/ architecture by introducing an autonomous Python bootstrapper, a bundled offline template payload, a root standalone installer, and a cryptographic integrity ledger.
馃専 Key Highlights
1. Autonomous Workspace Bootstrapper (skills/torusguard/bootstrap.py)
A self-contained, cross-platform Python script that runs automatically during /torusguard init. It unpacks the complete .torusguard/ workspace into the project root, detects framework stacks, and activates tailored rules offline with zero network latency.
2. Bundled Offline Template Payload (skills/torusguard/payload/)
The canonical .torusguard/ structure is packaged directly inside the skill directory. When npx skills add downloads the skill, it automatically brings all templates and scripts locally onto the developer's computer.
3. Standalone Zero-Dependency Installer (install.py)
A root CLI script that enables direct one-liner setup:
python install.py
# Or remotely:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/githubmofo/TorusGuard/main/install.py | python4. Comprehensive System Architecture Blueprint (.torusguard/ARCHITECTURE.md)
Modeled after .agent/ARCHITECTURE.md, detailing:
- 7-stage closed-loop lifecycle flowchart.
- Authority separation and role handoff contracts across 5 specialist agents.
- The Ponytail Protocol line churn rules (
$\le 35$ additions,$\le 25$ deletions). - Complete directory topology.
5. Cryptographic Integrity Ledger & Builder (.torusguard/.manifest.json & manifest_builder.py)
A SHA-256 cryptographic manifest indexing all 88 workspace files with normalized cross-platform paths, verified via .torusguard/scripts/manifest_builder.py --check.
6. End-to-End Simulation Test Harness (harness/validate_v0_9_1_installer.py)
Automated test suite simulating external project installation via both npx skills add and standalone install.py in isolated temporary sandboxes.
