AIWG 2026.8.8 - Managed project capability routing

Release date: 2026-08-12
Channel: stable

AIWG 2026.8.8 gives projects a compact, automatically maintained way to expose
their own extensions and addons to agents. It also makes context regeneration
choose and explain the appropriate workflow from repository state, strengthens
the CLI performance gate, and improves artifact-root and documentation-release
reliability.

What changed

  • Project-local extensions, addons, frameworks, plugins, and providers can now
    synthesize a project-only kernel quickref from discovered bundle manifests.
    This keeps custom capabilities visible without adding them to AIWG's base
    quickrefs or loading every project artifact into context.
  • Operators can curate managed quickrefs with .aiwg/quickref.config.json,
    including exclusions and overrides. Existing .aiwg/quickref.json
    definitions continue to work as the legacy compatibility format.
  • aiwg regenerate now selects workspace refresh or transactional project
    adoption when no branch flag is supplied. It reports whether the choice was
    explicit or inferred and lists the evidence used to make it.
  • Artifact relocation preserves the repository-local control plane while
    discovery and synchronization follow the attached corpus.
  • CI now enforces a reproducible CLI cold-start performance gate with documented
    local diagnostics.
  • Scheduled documentation publication checks for releasable changes every six
    hours.

Verification

The release candidate must pass version and marketplace lockstep validation,
plugin metadata and layout checks, TypeScript, the production CLI build, the
full automated test suite, metadata and Fortemi-index validation, stable UAT,
hosted CI, signed-tag verification, and post-publication checks for npm packages,
installer checksums, release assets, SBOMs, and provenance.

Package matrix

aiwg@2026.8.8
@aiwg/cli@2026.8.8
@aiwg/cockpit@2026.8.8

Upgrade

npm install --global aiwg@2026.8.8

For the lightweight signed-web distribution:

npm install --global @aiwg/cli@2026.8.8

After upgrading, run aiwg use all --provider <provider> and
aiwg regenerate --provider <provider> in each project that should receive the
updated kernel and context routing.

Rollback

Roll all three npm packages back together to 2026.8.7, then redeploy the
project's provider assets and regenerate its context files.
