codexclaw v0.2.31

[0.2.31] - 2026-09-19

Closes the last two issues from the 2026-09-19 sweep.

Added

• The publication contract foundation is back in the skill:
  reference/report-pipeline.md, reference/page-role-catalog.md,
  scripts/report-contract.mjs, scripts/quality-gate.mjs and
  assets/report-model.example.json, with 41 tests. Recovered as a purely additive
  change: the exporter imports none of it, so no runtime path moved. The exporter
  migration stays separate, with its selection table and acceptance matrix in
  devlog/_plan/260919_issue_sweep/062_wp7b_recovery_matrix.md.
• A versioned research handoff on that model (REPORT-RESEARCH-01): route, source
  boundary, source and output languages kept separate, questions mapped to claim ids,
  and gaps. Validated only when supplied, so a legacy document stays valid and is never
  reported research-complete. Three rules earn their place — a source-only route may
  not carry a discovered source, a load-bearing claim may not rest only on
  snippet-derived sources because snippets are leads, and an unanswered question must
  appear in gaps rather than vanish. researchReceipt records route, contract and
  skill versions, and completed versus omitted checks; an omitted check never renders as
  a pass (#199).
• REPORT-STORY-00: genre selects the report structure. A decision memo ends at the
  decision, a research synthesis at what is unresolved, a history at what is contested,
  a reference at the definitions — where a topic label is correct rather than a defect.
  Review criteria are about content rather than length, and a document with no numbers
  in it can pass all of them (#200).

Changed

• The universal one-argument, claim-heading and closing-ask mandates are scoped to the
  genres that want them, across report-writing.md, SKILL.md,
  report-pipeline.md and its editorial-review receipt row. The canonical
  cxc-dev references/reader-documents.md was edited alongside the visualizer's
  portable copy so the two stay synchronized (#200).

Known limitations

• #191 remains open. The host quota guard gates on authentication while extraction is
  routed by provider; closing it needs a host-supported control that does not exist.
• The visualizer exporter migration is not done. It changes exit semantics and has its
  own acceptance matrix; see 062_wp7b_recovery_matrix.md.
