v2026.8.4
AIWG 2026.8.4 - Governed missions and complete plugin delivery
Release date: 2026-08-03
Channel: stable
AIWG 2026.8.4 makes the complete Claude Code plugin catalog independently
installable and strengthens the governance, recovery, and audit contracts used
by durable multi-agent missions.
What changed
- The Claude Code marketplace now publishes all 40 packaged frameworks and
addons. Cached plugins retain their complete runtime-relative dependency
trees, so independently installed bundles remain self-contained. aiwg storage import-corpusnow previews and ingests local research text
through provider-neutral storage, while authenticated Fortemi HTTP/SSE
connections resolve credentials from environment references without storing
their values.- Shared-host mission dispatch uses an explicit admission contract for
resource, isolation, and policy requirements, with stable evidence for both
admitted and denied workloads. - Operator approvals, denials, overrides, and expirations share a canonical
audit representation across HITL drivers and downstream consumers. - Mission operators can pause, resume, cancel, retry, and recover durable work
after conductor restarts. Cockpit projects those controls together with live
mission, approval, capability, and audit views. - Research corpus snapshots and queries preserve curated Fortemi retrieval
evidence across package boundaries. - Claude Code trace hooks now receive the required
startandstop
subcommands, and refresh repairs previously generated no-argument entries. - Release mirroring verifies the commit behind signed annotated tags instead
of comparing tag object IDs directly.
Verification
The release candidate is required to pass version lockstep, TypeScript,
unit/integration tests, the production build, stable-channel UAT, and the
configured Gitea CI workflows. Post-tag verification checks both forge release
surfaces, checksums, package publication, and the installer fetched from the
published GitHub release.
Package matrix
All three packages publish in CalVer lockstep:

Upgrade
Full local-corpus distribution:
npm install --global aiwg@2026.8.4Lightweight signed-web distribution:
npm install --global @aiwg/cli@2026.8.4Install or refresh Cockpit through the base CLI to keep its version in
lockstep:
aiwg use cockpit

Roll back all three packages together to 2026.8.3. That version does not
contain the complete plugin marketplace, durable mission governance additions,
Fortemi retrieval preservation, or trace-hook registration fix described
above.
