v1.0.0

Added

• Dual-Engine Lifecycle Tracking Architecture:
  • Active Pre/Post Hooks: Intercepts Spec Kit command invocations (specify, clarify, checklist, plan, tasks, taskstoissues, analyze, implement, converge, bug workflows, and idea assessments) to log phase transitions, execution start/completion timestamps, and exit codes.
  • Passive Out-of-Band Sensing: Continuously detects manual editor edits, conversational agent revisions, and task checkbox changes across monitored artifacts (spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md, etc.) without requiring explicit command invocations.
• Living State Artifacts (lifecycle.md):
  • Automatically provisions and updates a lifecycle.md document in every feature (specs/###-*/), bug triage (.specify/bugs/<slug>/), and idea assessment (.specify/assessments/<slug>/) directory.
  • Generates machine-readable YAML frontmatter, human-readable milestone summaries, dynamic progress metrics, and interactive Mermaid state diagrams.
• Multi-Track SDLC Support:
  • Feature Track (SPECIFIED, CLARIFIED, CHECKLISTED, PLANNED, TASKED, ISSUES_SYNCED, ANALYZED, IMPLEMENTING, CONVERGED).
  • Bug Triage Track (ASSESSED, FIXED, VERIFIED, ESCALATED_TO_FEATURE).
  • Idea Assessment Track (INTAKE, RESEARCHED, DEFINED, SHAPED, DECIDED_GO, DECIDED_KILL).
  • Extensible Custom Open Track with dynamic phase registration.
• Crash & Interruption Detection:
  • Pre-command hook marks runs as IN_PROGRESS with command metadata and timestamps.
  • Post-hook records exit codes and milestone outcomes.
  • Incomplete or crashed sessions are automatically surfaced with actionable recovery guidance on subsequent runs or status checks.
• Task Checkbox Progress Tracking:
  • Real-time scanning of - [ ] and - [x] markdown task checkboxes in tasks.md.
  • Automatic calculation of completed, total, and percentage progress, dynamically updating lifecycle sub-status.
• Soft Drift Advisory:
  • Non-destructive revision tracking when upstream specifications or plans are modified after downstream work has begun.
  • Preserves downstream artifacts while issuing clear drift advisories recommending review.
• State Keeper & Deviation Explainer:
  • Validates command execution sequence against track-specific state machines.
  • Generates non-blocking deviation explanations and next recommended actions when commands execute out of expected sequence.
• Repository-Wide Workspace Overview Dashboard:
  • Compiles an aggregated lifecycle status dashboard across all active and completed tracks into .specify/lifecycle-overview.md.
  • Provides quick-glance metrics, track status tables, and next actions.
• Spec Kit Slash Commands:
  • /speckit-lifecycle-status (speckit.lifecycle.status): Inspects active state, progress, drift notices, and next recommended action. Supports --dir and --json.
  • /speckit-lifecycle-overview (speckit.lifecycle.overview): Recompiles and prints the workspace overview dashboard. Supports --all, --output, and --json.
• Packaging & Configuration:
  • Conforms to Spec Kit Extension Manifest Schema 1.0 (extension.yml) and Lifecycle Artifact Schema 1.0.
  • Ships with config-template.yml for customizable drift thresholds, monitored artifacts, overview paths, and Mermaid rendering.
  • Supports --dev local installation, --from <archive-url> remote installation, and community catalog distribution.
• Zero-Dependency Core:
  • Implemented entirely with Python 3 standard library and POSIX shell scripts; requires no third-party packages or runtime compilers.
