v0.21.1 — /plan refuses to implement during awaiting_confirm

Hotfix

Planning stage was letting follow-up user messages drift into implementation. If a draft plan was in + "awaiting_confirm" + and the user asked to reconsider or add something, the agent could skip straight to writing code instead of rewriting the plan artifacts.

Skill guardrails tightened

• + "plan/SKILL.md.tmpl" + : new ⛔ IMPLEMENTATION FORBIDDEN header, explicit + "awaiting_confirm" + re-plan branch, and a canned refusal for "implement / apply / write the code"-shaped follow-ups while the plan is still under review.
• + "ghu/SKILL.md" + : refuses to start a session when the latest plan set is + "status: draft" + or the prior + "/plan" + session is still + "awaiting_confirm" + . Same error wording as the existing "missing artifact" refusal so the user only has to remember one exit path: + "/plan confirm" + → + "/ghu" + .

Transitions out of planning

Only two:

1. + "/plan confirm" + — flips every draft artifact in the set to + "approved" + , atomically.
2. + "/ghu" + — re-validates that the set is approved before writing anything.

Any other follow-up during + "awaiting_confirm" + is treated as a re-plan request: rewrite the affected plan artifacts in place (same timestamp), re-emit their + "artifact_written" + events, stay at + "awaiting_confirm" + . No code, no tests, no CLI wiring.

v0.21.0 — feature 007: live flow view, scout %, init PR toggle, artifact copy

Highlights

Live flow view survives TDD + worktree (US1)

• New bender event emit atomic helper (O_APPEND | O_SYNC + fsync) with Bash and PowerShell fallbacks (.specify/scripts/{bash,powershell}/event-emit.*) — skills call this instead of printf >> events.jsonl, so fsnotify-based tails see one write per event and the viewer no longer freezes on batched subagent output.
• internal/workflow.Resolve + bender workflow resolve --key <branch> link consecutive sessions (e.g. /tdd → /ghu) into one workflow. state.json gains optional workflow_id + workflow_parent_session_id (additive; schema version unchanged).
• Server: GET /api/workflows/{id} + GET /api/workflows/{id}/stream merge SSE from every session in the workflow and pick up new sessions that join the workflow mid-stream (1s poll cadence).
• UI: pickLiveWorkflowId + LiveProjectFlow now subscribe to the workflow stream when a workflow_id is known; single-session subscription remains the fallback.

Scout % reflects real progress (US2)

• /ghu SKILL emits orchestrator_progress as round(100 * completed_nodes / total_nodes) on every DAG transition, replacing the baseline points table.
• bg-scout-* skills emit per-sub-step agent_progress ticks so the per-agent bar advances even between DAG nodes.
• ProgressBar.tsx enforces monotonic non-decreasing bars and surfaces completed/total nodes in the dial tooltip.

bender init "open PR on success" toggle (US3)

• New huh confirm prompt added to the init form; answer persists to .bender/selection.yaml under preferences.open_pr_on_success.
• Prior value is honored as the default on re-run (FR-012).
• New pr extension with after_implement hook: bash/PowerShell scripts check preference + session status, then shell to bender session pr. Adapter failures never fail the implement run (FR-013).
• internal/pr.RunForSession(ctx, SessionRunOptions) exposes PR invocation as a library call for hook and test parity.

Click-to-copy buttons next to event JSON (US4)

• New CopyButton component + copyText helper in ui/src/client/lib/clipboard.ts — prefers navigator.clipboard, falls back to a hidden-textarea execCommand('copy') in non-secure contexts.
• Wired next to every event's raw-JSON toggle in EventRow.tsx.

Upgrade notes

All schema changes are additive:

• state.json — new optional workflow_id, workflow_parent_session_id fields.
• .bender/selection.yaml — new optional preferences: block.
• events.jsonl — unchanged envelope; only emission path changes.

Old sessions load unchanged; new UI degrades gracefully when workflow_id is missing.

CLI additions

• bender event emit --session … --type … --actor-kind … --actor-name … --payload … [--sessions-root …]
• bender workflow resolve --key <branch>
• bender worktree create --workflow-id <id> --workflow-parent <parent-id> <session-id>

Tests

• New Go tests: internal/event/emit_test.go, cmd/bender/event_test.go, internal/session/state_workflow_test.go, internal/workflow/link_test.go, internal/pr/session_runner_test.go.
• New integration tests: event_emit_parity, workflow_linkage, flowview_worktree, scout_progress, after_implement_pr, init_pr_preference.
• New UI tests: clipboard, copy-button, progress-bar, project-flow.

v0.20.1 — Plan-stage clarifications polish

Fixes

• Event emission: clarifications_requested no longer rejected by the counter-sum invariant. The event fires before any prompt — counters are 0/0/0/0 by definition; only clarifications_resolved and clarifications_pending need to satisfy the sum check (they signal terminal batch state). Without this fix the requested event never fired and the partial artifact was lost on Ctrl-C.

Polish

• Interrupt resilience test: pre-cancelled context now persists the partial clarifications artifact and parks state.json at awaiting_clarification with clarifications_artifact set. Covered by internal/clarification/interrupt_test.go::TestRun_InterruptParksSessionAtAwaitingClarification.
• Embedded plan SKILL template: ships the new step 3a. Clarification scan so bender init / bender sync-defaults delivers the clarification step to consumer projects, not only the local working copy.

Tag history: v0.19.1 → v0.20.0 (feature) → v0.20.1 (this — patch).

v0.20.0 — Plan-stage clarifications

What's new

bender clarify subcommand + new internal/clarification package.

The /plan flow now detects unresolved decision points after the spec draft and asks the practitioner up to 3 prioritized multiple-choice questions before producing the rest of the plan set. Mirrors the spec-kit /clarify UX inside /plan.

Highlights

• Interactive prompt (huh-driven) with A–D options, Custom free-form, and Skip.
• Non-interactive mode — auto-detected when no TTY, or via --non-interactive / BENDER_NONINTERACTIVE=1. Pending entries land in the artifact.
• Strict non-interactive (--strict / BENDER_CLARIFICATIONS_STRICT=1) exits 2 and parks state.json at awaiting_clarification.
• Reuse on re-run keyed by capture artifact path + question target section. Prior chosen/custom resolutions carry forward, no re-prompt.
• Spec rewrite — answered resolutions replace [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: …] markers in the spec draft in place; the original question + answer remain traceable in the clarifications artifact.

Wire-protocol additions (additive, no breaking changes)

• Three new event types: clarifications_requested, clarifications_resolved, clarifications_pending — same v1 envelope.
• Session state.json gains a new accepted status value awaiting_clarification and an optional clarifications_artifact field. schema_version unchanged.
• New artifact path: .bender/artifacts/plan/clarifications-<timestamp>.md. Shares the plan-set timestamp so /plan confirm flips it atomically.

Files

• cmd/bender/clarify.go — Cobra subcommand.
• internal/clarification/ — Batch/Question/Resolution types, Marshal/Unmarshal, prompt, reuse, spec_apply, runner, non-interactive helper, event builder.
• internal/event/{event,payload}.go — three additive Type constants + payload requirements.
• internal/session/{state,validate}.go — new status + optional field.

v0.19.1 — base-stage anchors + chromatic flow palette

UI

• Project flow prepends cry → plan → tdd base-stage anchors ahead of the crafter/ship chain. Each anchor starts idle and highlights once its latest session completes; completed anchors link to the matching /sessions page.
• Each base stage wears its own signature hue — cry violet, plan azure, tdd mint — so the pipeline reads as a chromatic arc instead of a flat stack of identical green cards. Disabled anchors keep a subtle wash of their hue.
• Session flow derives the node accent from (agent × skill) instead of just the agent. Three invocations of the same agent with different skills now render as three distinct shades of the same family.

v0.19.0 — glab adapter + automatic worktree provisioning

Closes the two follow-ups from v0.18.0 (feature 004)

GitLab adapter shipped

bender sessions pr <session-id> on a gitlab.com remote now opens (or updates)
a merge request via the user's locally installed glab CLI. Parity with the
existing GitHub adapter:

• Same Adapter interface surface (Detect, AuthCheck, Push, OpenOrUpdate).
• Same exit-code table (30/31/32/33).
• Same event emission (pr_opened / pr_update_refused).
• Same --refuse-update and --draft semantics.
• Push delegates to git push -u origin <branch>:<branch> (glab itself is not
  involved in push).
• Snapshot-only PR status — no polling, same policy as v0.18.0.

state.json#pull_request.adapter now takes the live "glab" value in addition
to "gh". Self-hosted GitHub Enterprise and self-hosted GitLab are out of scope
for this release; the adapter interface remains open for future additions.

/ghu and /implement auto-provision a worktree

The embedded orchestrator skills (.claude/skills/ghu/SKILL.md,
.claude/skills/implement/SKILL.md) now call bender worktree create <session-id>
as their first action in every session. Every subsequent file write lands inside
the session worktree; the main working tree is untouched.

• No silent fall-back: if bender v0.18.0+ is missing and the fallback script
  is also unavailable, the skill aborts with an explicit upgrade message.
• v2 state.json + worktree_created event emitted by the binary; the
  orchestrator no longer hand-rolls either, eliminating a class of drift bugs.
• Read-only skills (/cry, pre-confirmation /plan, /tdd, /bender-bootstrap,
  every bg-*) are explicitly not changed and a scope-guard integration
  test enforces their absence of the provisioning block.

Upgrading

go install github.com/mayckol/ai-bender/cmd/bender@latest
cd path/to/your-project
bender init             # idempotent; user-edited skills get *.proposed sidecars

Legacy v1 sessions continue to load unchanged and appear as legacy in
bender sessions list.

Fallback-script parity (Constitution VII)

.specify/extensions/worktree/scripts/{bash,powershell}/worktree.sh(+.ps1)
pr verb now routes gitlab.com remotes to the full glab flow symmetric to
the gh branch, with identical event and exit-code contracts.

Documentation

• New "After v0.19.0: a different way to start a project" section in the
  README Quickstart area.
• Dedicated Upgrade notes subsections for v0.19.0 and v0.18.0 alongside the
  existing v0.17.0 note.
• /ghu and /implement slash-command descriptions explicitly reference the
  worktree-provisioning step.

Tests

All 22 packages green on go test ./...:

• internal/pr/glab_test.go — 7 FakeExec unit tests.
• tests/integration/gitlab_pr_test.go — end-to-end with a fake glab adapter.
• tests/integration/skills_initialisation_test.go — byte-for-byte sentinel
  assertions over workspace.Scaffold()-materialised defaults (both positive
  for ghu / implement and negative for every read-only skill).

No new third-party Go dependencies.

v0.18.0 — worktree-isolated pipeline flow

Worktree-isolated pipeline flow + optional PR (feature 004)

Every bender pipeline session now runs inside a dedicated git worktree on a
dedicated session branch (bender/session/<id>). The main working tree is
never written to by bender; concurrent sessions do not collide. Worktree
isolation is mandatory — incompatible repos (git missing, bare,
mid-rebase / merge / cherry-pick) refuse to start with a specific exit code.

Pull requests are strictly opt-in via bender sessions pr <id>: no push,
no PR, no remote mutation without explicit invocation. Uses the user's
locally installed platform CLI (gh for GitHub today; glab stubbed for a
future release).

New CLI

• bender worktree create <session-id> [--base-branch=BRANCH]
• bender worktree list [--json]
• bender worktree remove <session-id> [--force]
• bender worktree prune [--older-than=DURATION]
• bender sessions pr <session-id> [--draft] [--refuse-update] [--json]
• bender sessions list gains WORKTREE / BRANCH / PR columns (v1 sessions labeled legacy)

Schema (backwards-compatible)

• state.json v1 → v2: adds worktree, session_branch, base_branch, base_sha, optional pull_request
• v1 files continue to load (flagged as legacy in the UI; no migration needed)
• 5 new event kinds: worktree_created, worktree_removed, worktree_missing, pr_opened, pr_update_refused

Exit-code table

Code	Meaning
10	git unavailable / repo bare / not a git repo
11	repo mid-rebase / mid-merge / mid-cherry-pick
12	configured worktree root violates placement rules
13	session branch bender/session/<id> already exists
20	remove/pr: session does not exist
21	remove: refused on an active session
30	pr: session not eligible (active / no commits)
31	pr: no adapter matches the configured remote
32	pr: push or platform-CLI call failed
33	pr: refused to update existing PR under --refuse-update

New packages

• internal/worktree — lifecycle primitives, GitRunner + ExecRunner + FakeRunner
• internal/pr — Adapter interface, GitHub adapter via gh, GitLab stub

Not affected

• Existing commands, skills, and pipeline contracts are untouched.
• v1 sessions on disk continue to load — no migration required.

See the README bender worktree and bender sessions pr sections for the
full walkthrough.

v0.17.2 — structured event detail + flow zoom/fit

Highlights

Timeline — structured event detail

The expanded payload row no longer dumps raw `JSON.stringify`. Every known shape renders cleanly:

• Key/value grid with small-caps labels and typed values.
• Agent chips for `agent` / `dispatched_agent` / `dispatched_agents` with per-agent color.
• Phosphor numerals for `duration_ms`, `bytes`, `_count`, `_total`. Durations formatted (ms / s / m).
• Severity pills (critical/high crimson, medium amber, low/info accent).
• Percent bars for `percent` on progress events.
• Code chips for paths, checksums, skill names, commands, node ids.
• Nested sub-grids for arrays of objects.
• Event-type badge with tone driven by the event (signal for starts, phosphor for completions, crimson for failures, amber for skips/aborted).
• `raw JSON` toggle kept as a debug escape hatch.

Flow view — zoom & fit, no horizontal scroll

• Dropped the horizontal scrollbar. The chain transform-scales via a CSS variable and wraps gracefully when content exceeds the viewport.
• New zoom toolbar in the flow header: −, FIT (default, auto-fit via ResizeObserver), numeric %, 1:1 (reset to 100%), +.
• Scale math keeps the chain's layout width = container ÷ scale so flex wrap still flows correctly at every zoom level.
