v2026.8.12
AIWG 2026.8.12 - Verifiable artifacts and research labs
Release date: 2026-08-17
Channel: stable
AIWG 2026.8.12 extends verification from individual packages to the full path
an artifact travels: marketplace exchange, provider transformation, web-backed
release delivery, and local consumption. It also ships six reproducible research
and red-team addons, strengthens self-hosted Gitea configuration, and makes the
Fortemi conformance path more portable across release runners.
What changed
- Artifact verification now has stable outcomes, trust-root and trust-state
contracts, attestation emission, a public API, CLI handling, schemas, and
adversarial conformance coverage. - Marketplace v2 bundles can carry portable evidence, provider deployments can
authenticate transformation receipts against source inventories, and signed
web-release descriptors bridge provenance across release surfaces. - Five research experiment addons cover century-readiness review, long-context
retrieval benchmarking, natural-language evaluation, orchestration topology
comparison, and premortem-v2 analysis. - A synthetic monitorability red-team addon exercises unlabeled and
monitor-constrained scenarios with reproducible fixtures and evidence. - Project setup can designate Gitea explicitly for ambiguous self-hosted
remotes, while legacy force-push policy values are normalized during repair. - Doctor uses Git's effective ignore rules, including negations and local or
global excludes, instead of relying only on textual.gitignoreinspection. - Fortemi shard conformance verifies host capabilities, provisions pinned Rust,
and fetches receipt references atomically on the selected Gitea runner.
Verification
- Public artifact-trust schemas and every stable verifier outcome are covered by
unit, integration, lightweight-CLI, and schema-lint tests. - Provider transformation receipt tests cover source inventory authentication,
expected first-use state, deployment verification, and web-mode packaging. - Research addon fixtures and recorded evidence are exercised by integration
tests, including monitorability threshold transitions. - Release validation checks synchronized package/plugin versions, TypeScript,
production builds, generated documentation, metadata, the full CI suite, and
Fortemi discovery parity.

Upgrade
Install all AIWG packages at version 2026.8.12. After upgrading, refresh AIWG
for each provider you use so provider outputs can be checked against the new
transformation receipt and artifact-trust contracts.
Rollback
Roll all three npm packages back together to 2026.8.11, then redeploy the
project's provider assets and regenerate its context files.
