v2026.8.3 — Plugin lifecycle and release reliability
AIWG 2026.8.3 - Plugin lifecycle and release reliability
Release date: 2026-08-03
Channel: stable
AIWG 2026.8.3 fixes three lifecycle and publication regressions and moves the
MCP server dependency graph onto the advisory-free Hono v2 line.
What changed
- Project-local removal records the provider-transformed bytes that were
actually deployed. Freshly deployed skills are therefore removable as
pristine, while later user edits remain protected. aiwg install-plugin --sourcehandles local legacy manifests through the
correct framework root and gives project-local wrappers actionable guidance
to use.aiwg/plugins/plusaiwg use.- GitHub release creation waits for the operator-pushed signed annotated tag
and verifies its expected commit before publishing a stable release. @modelcontextprotocol/sdk1.30.0 allows the package graph to use
@hono/node-server2.0.11, removing the affected Windows static-serving
dependency route.
Verification
The release candidate passed the main test/build workflow, documentation
build and deployment workflows, and Fortemi shard conformance on the delivered
dependency commit. The production dependency audit reports no MCP SDK or Hono
finding and no moderate-severity findings.
