v0.27.9

Added

• The next-track adoption bundle is now the stable 0.27.9 release: public benchmark suite and language fixtures, one-command madar try, opt-in telemetry, verified agent quickstarts, the design-partner loop, and the proof-first launch checklist now ship on main.

Changed

• Stable now carries the git-backed freshness model across madar pack, madar prompt, madar handoff, madar doctor, and madar status.
• Native-agent compare keeps stricter task-bounded prompts, separate baseline/Madar artifacts, clearer install and trace attribution, and more honest timeout evidence.
• Generated Claude and Cursor MCP configs now launch the installed madar CLI directly, and madar install <platform> works alongside --platform.

Fixed

• Windows Claude installs now use a generated local .claude/madar-user-prompt-submit.cjs script instead of an oversized inline hook.
• Windows native-agent --exec commands now honor the expected cmd.exe contract.
• Compare trace classification no longer mistakes deferred ToolSearch Madar selection for broad exploration.
