v0.2.0

First audited release after the initial 0.1.0 package.

Core correctness and safety

• Wired the routed retention policy (thresholdRatio / retainRatio /
  retainTokens / modelPolicies) into deterministic fallback selection;
  it was previously parsed but never used.
• Enforced protection, recent-tail, and tier-cap checks inside the
  compaction transaction, including an expected-shadowed-span identity
  check after the LLM summary call, so concurrent surface changes or
  overlapping batch ranges cannot commit a summary against different
  content.
• Repaired restored-node tier derivation: non-checkpoint replacements now
  return to tier 0 instead of inheriting checkpoint tier + 1.
• Fixed cache invalidation for tool names and tier snapshots when the
  surface receives plain appends.
• Made toFile decompression write distinct sibling paths for multiple
  targets and report the fs-resolved path; the decompress budget now prices
  the actual combined restored message.
• Hardened compactNow: selected-span stability, exact abort-reason
  propagation, correct busy/summary classification, and end-seed lifecycle
  handling for open turns.
• Added the missing @deepseek-ai/dsh-system-prompt peer dependency and
  disposed partial plugin/tool registrations on failure.

Tiers, quality gate, and doctrine

• Turned tier 1/2/3 into an explicit operating model in the system
  doctrine: capture raw work into T1, distill settled T1 piles into T2,
  condense settled T2 piles into T3, and read before shrinking.
• Added a tier-aware quality gate: raw tier-1 captures keep the full
  length/coverage floors; tier >= 2 distillation uses its own shorter
  floors and waives the keyword-coverage layer, because those rules
  intentionally drop lower-level vocabulary.
• Tier nudges now name the exact TIER 2 DISTILLATION or TIER 3
  CONDENSATION rules to use, and the doctrine explains tiers above 3 when
  the cap is raised.
• Model-facing wording is truthful under non-default configuration
  (auto-expansion off, fallback off, non-blocking or disabled quality
  gate).

Retrieval and context management

• Added COMPRESSION CONTRACT FOR RETRIEVAL: summaries must retain future
  search keys, declare deliberately dropped detail, and carry a topic.
• Topics are persisted inside durable summaries; context_status exposes
  them as a checkpoint index.
• Every checkpoint text now carries its own Compaction id, so a visible
  summary can be expanded directly without a lookup step.
• Retrieval is recognition-first: visible summaries are the primary
  locator, context_search is for details whose owning block is unknown,
  and context_decompress only fetches a located block one tier at a time.
• context_recap gained a tier filter; context_search gained a
  surface filter; session-scope shadowed search hits carry the owning
  checkpointId.
• context_status uses a one-line-per-node renderer so recent nodes and
  recommendations survive the output cap, and shows nested tool-output
  text in previews.

Protection, nudges, and recommendations

• protectedSources now also protects this plugin's own nudge, notice,
  and restored messages when dsh-asc is listed; context_status marks
  recent-tail and tier-cap nodes as protected.
• Nudge baselines re-measure after nudge/notice appends; consumed tier
  baselines are removed when the tier disappears; newly appeared piles are
  measured from zero; tail-only piles do not fire tier nudges.
• In-place decompression resets the transient nudge baseline so the
  model's own restore is not treated as unexpected growth.
• Recommended ranges are validated against the full eligibility policy,
  are pairwise non-overlapping, and cut around tier-cap nodes.

Quality gate details

• The gate prices the framed checkpoint and reports measured ROUGE/recall
  values even on L1 failures; acknowledged retries still record and return
  the rejected report.
• Mixed CJK/Latin text is tokenized correctly, keeping Latin words intact.

Packaging, docs, and automation

• Fixed the invalid allowBuilds placeholder in pnpm-workspace.yaml;
  prepare/prepack now build the package before install/pack.
• Added CHANGELOG.md; GitHub Releases are created automatically for
  meaningful v* tags with changelog notes and the built tarball.
• Added npm-publish: prefers npm trusted publishing (GitHub OIDC) with a
  classic NPM_TOKEN fallback; publishes trigger on version tags.
• Reconciled README/design/usage/prompt/tool schemas with runtime behavior,
  including the five-tool contract, real search surface values, and the
  current GitHub/npm distribution channels.

v0.1.0

Added

• Initial standalone dsh-asc plugin: model-driven surface compaction over
  DSH's event-sourced session log.
• Five model tools: context_compress, context_decompress,
  context_recap, context_status, context_search.
• Durable compaction/start|summary|end transactions, tier derivation,
  quality gate, deterministic fallback summarization, nudge state machine,
  protection policy, and the context-management doctrine.
