HADARA 0.4.2-rc.0

HADARA 0.4.2-rc.0

Release candidate for the post-0.4.1 cleanup line: command-surface reduction, status/read-model performance, init structure, finalize/evidence UX hardening, dead-code cleanup, and fresh-project dogfood.

Highlights

• Removes retired public command surfaces and command-era dead code after the 0.4.1 cleanup line.
• Keeps task status and task finalize as the primary lifecycle while stale lifecycle hints now point to current commands.
• Improves selected-task status performance with invocation-local read memoization and keeps top-level status fast by default.
• Splits init implementation internals without changing generated project behavior.
• Hardens task finalize --execute --auto against partial finish writes when close blockers remain.
• Adds response-only evidence append-lock diagnostics.
• Fixes session-start docs read-map preview count parity.
• Dogfoods a fresh governed project through init, generated docs review, validation/direct-result recovery, auto finalize, removed-route checks, docs doctor, doctor, schema, and context surfaces.

Verification Line

• T-0538 refreshed development dist with Docker sync-build and passed full Vitest 148 files / 1002 tests.
• T-0538 fresh /tmp dogfood closed toy task T-0001 as closed-valid.
• T-0539 source preparation retargets package metadata and release-facing docs to 0.4.2-rc.0.

Boundaries

• npm publish should use the next tag for 0.4.2-rc.0.
• Stable latest remains hadara@0.4.1.
• Docker image publish, PyPI publish, installer execution, MCP release/package execution, and installed-package recycle are out of this source-preparation capsule.
• After publish, run a separate installed-package recycle capsule against hadara@next expected 0.4.2-rc.0.
