v0.3.0

2 PRs since v0.2.0. Headline: two case studies close the "does CEP help retrieval only, or does it
help a downstream generative task too" evidence gap, and two research-informed protocol additions
(a corpus-scaling primitive, an ingested-content-safety rule) came out of a deliberate review of
external context-engineering prior art.

Added

• Consumer-output-quality case studies (2): case-studies/consumer-benefit-user-stories/ runs a
  real, already-built consumer skill (spw-write-user-story, vendored read-only for reproducibility,
  outside .github/skills/ and never installable — same demonstrated-against-not-adopted treatment
  as the FastAPI/Textual/Open5GS corpora) twice against the same real feature: once with an approved
  context package, once from a bare ticket-sized ask with no package. Scored both against a rubric
  fixed before either output was read (traceability, hallucination, actor coverage, NFR specificity,
  testability, convention adherence), each finding tagged Measured or Inference. Two features, two
  unrelated domains (Textual UI/accessibility, Open5GS telecom Diameter stack in C) — the second run
  checks the first wasn't a fluke, and the win is sharper there (18 real citations vs. 0; 0
  hallucinated mechanisms vs. 1; 5 distinct actors vs. 2 generic; full convention structure 7/7 vs.
  none). Both cases also trace the compounding benefit of a package's [Context: ...] tags past the
  user-story file itself into design/review, planning, test-writing, and implementation stages.
  EVIDENCE-METHODOLOGY.md gains a 4th evidence category (consumer-output-quality, alongside
  token-efficiency, fallback-relevance, and the naive-keyword-search baseline) and a bare-ask-baseline
  definition.
• Progressive-disclosure skeleton mode: md_index.py skeleton reformats an already-built
  index.json into a doc_id + heading/clause-ID tree only, no body text — zero re-parsing, since
  the index never stored body text. Measured 6.7x compression on the real telecom-what-l1-demo
  corpus (39,076 → 5,862 bytes). Wired into what-l1-fallback-query.md/how-l1-fallback-query.md as
  an opt-in first look at a large/unfamiliar corpus before a full query; zero behavior change for
  existing configs. Closes the scaling primitive ROADMAP.md item 13 was missing.
• Ingested-content injection guardrail: new MUST-level PROTOCOL.md §2.2 — ingested What-L1/
  How-L1/MCP-mirrored content is always data to cite, never instructions to follow. Backed by a new
  SHOULD-level heuristic script, scripts/content_safety_scan.py (a narrow, literal pattern list,
  deliberately scoped to avoid false-positiving on ordinary "shall"/"must" spec language),
  informational only, never auto-blocking. Surfaced as a new non-blocking line in
  ult-context-generate/SKILL.md's Step 9 human-review-gate template. CONFORMANCE.md §4 records it
  as a SHOULD, not the enforcement mechanism itself.
• references/design-scratchpad-glossary.md: a plain-English index of every
  CONTEXT-ENGINEERING-DESIGN.md D<N>/§<N> label cited across this repo, so those citations
  resolve without the private, unpublished source document. Linked from CONTRIBUTING.md's existing
  citation note and from the two most heavily-cited skills (ult-context-generate, ult-repo-layout).
  At the time this glossary shipped, ROADMAP.md item 15 logged the fuller pre-1.0 citation cleanup
  it stopped short of as deferred; see the ### Fixed entry below — that cleanup is now done.
• approved_by trust signal: replaces the old human_approved: true|false boolean across the
  context-package mechanism. Now a list — empty until a human approves (Step 9), then exactly one
  {actor: human:<id>, at: <ISO8601>} entry is appended; v1 enforces at most one (multi-approver
  review is explicit future scope). Backed by a new hard-gate script, scripts/validate_approved_by.py
  (flags a missing field, more than one entry, or a malformed entry — exit code 1 on failure, unlike
  content_safety_scan.py's informational-only exit 0), run as part of Step 9's approval flow.
• Three other externally-sourced ideas (session-level runtime compaction, a comment-anchored
  live-studio UI, multiple ranked search modes/a multi-bundle registry) were reviewed and rejected,
  each for a reason tied to this repo's own prior decisions — logged to ROADMAP.md "Not on this
  roadmap" rather than dropped silently.

Fixed

• Private-document citation leak: skills and scripts across the repo cited unpublished sibling
  design docs by filename (CONTEXT-ENGINEERING-DESIGN.md and two others) or bare D<N>/D-0NN
  decision-log labels a reader has no way to resolve. Rewrote every site to state the substance
  inline instead of pointing at a document that doesn't exist in this repo, and updated
  CONTRIBUTING.md's citation note to match. Closes out ROADMAP.md item 15. Also removed internal
  EngineeringOS work-package IDs (CEP-DP-001*) that had leaked into public docs, scripts, and
  tests — that governance mechanism is private and was never meant to be user-facing.

Known limitations (disclosed, not regressions)

• A residual set of unsignposted-but-technically-resolvable citations (real in-repo section headers,
  or labels already covered by references/design-scratchpad-glossary.md) were intentionally left
  untouched — see ROADMAP.md §14's "Glossary-pointer consistency polish" item for the remaining,
  non-blocking follow-up.
• content_safety_scan.py's pattern list is narrow and literal by design; it is not a general
  prompt-injection detector and makes no such claim.
• Consumer-output-quality evidence is two case studies, one skill, not a blind trial — ground truth
  for traceability checks is knowable because both real features already exist upstream.
• approved_by is a breaking rename of human_approved, with no migration shim. Acceptable
  pre-1.0 since no automated consumer ever read either field; the three real case-study runs
  recorded before this rename keep their original human_approved: true values as accurate history
  (see EVIDENCE-METHODOLOGY.md's field-name-drift note) rather than being rewritten to match.
