git-a2a 1.7.1

What is new in 1.7.1

An ordinary repository could gain a local shim after it was added, yet a later wire could say the wiring was current before it had written that shim, and a repeated init could overwrite an existing manifest. This release makes late-shim wiring explicit, protects both manifest spellings from reinitialization, and shows the deterministic init interview as a real terminal exchange. The manifest schema and lock format are unchanged; public capability lists now come from checked registries, while the release workflows run their JavaScript actions on Node 24.

Features

• Capture and replay the landing-page init interview through the real CLI in a PTY, including accepted defaults and typed answers.

Fixes

• Wire shim.exports added after a plain dependency was locked instead of reporting a false current state.
• Refuse init and init --answers when either a2amodule.yml or a2amodule.yaml already exists, preserving the original bytes.
• Make human stdin guidance unambiguous while retaining compact FILE|- notation in option usage.
• Keep generated site facts reproducible in CI and update all repository-owned JavaScript actions to reviewed Node 24 releases.

Documentation

• Generate public ecosystem, build-system, harness, channel, and contact-kind lists from their source registries without brittle numeric claims.
• Redraw the ownership diagram around library/consumer repositories and their agents, including the consumer's own module and roster.

git-a2a 1.7.1-rc.1

What is new in 1.7.1-rc.1

Plain dependencies could report current wiring after shim exports were added later, even though those exports had not been applied. A bare git-a2a wire [ID] now applies the late shim exports, and init refuses to replace either existing manifest spelling with a clear recovery instruction. Existing manifests are never overwritten implicitly, and the README, specification overview, landing page, and design prototype now derive their enumerable integration claims from one drift-checked registry.

Bug fixes

• Apply shim exports added after a plain dependency was locked before reporting wiring is current.
• Refuse init and init --answers when a2amodule.yml or a2amodule.yaml already exists.
• Install the pinned HINT compiler in Static site CI so generated contact-kind facts are verified on Linux.

Documentation

• Generate native ecosystems, build systems, harnesses, distribution channels, contact kinds, and standards across the README, specification, landing page, and design source.
• Fail both documentation and site checks when those facts drift from adapters, setup harnesses, or normative contact kinds.

git-a2a 1.7.0

Plain repositories can become agent-aware dependencies

git-a2a 1.7.0 removes the requirement that every upstream repository adopt the standard before a
consumer can manage it. git-a2a add now records an ordinary Git repository as a plain dependency,
keeps its exact commit in the lock, and degrades inspection and routing commands explicitly instead
of failing on a missing manifest. A consumer-owned shim can add exports, contacts, and notes so
the same dependency can be wired and routed immediately; if upstream later publishes its own
manifest, upstream metadata wins visibly.

Repository onboarding now has one deterministic interview for humans and agents. Interactive
init, init --interview --json, and init --answers share the same ordered questions and
renderer, while usage --prompt, the Agent Skill, and doctor expose a repeatable onboarding
workflow. The standard also accepts a2amodule.yaml everywhere it reads a module while continuing
to generate canonical a2amodule.yml files.

The release includes the Windows path-normalization fix found by the cross-platform corpus and a
release-gate correction that verifies stable Homebrew/Scoop aliases correctly while an RC is under
test.

git-a2a 1.6.0-rc.2

What is new in 1.6.0-rc.2

This candidate makes the MCP surface auditable instead of relying on repeated prose. The eight
default tools and six write-enabled tools now share one source for registration, descriptions,
access gates, protocol annotations, golden tests, and generated documentation.

The result is a reviewable 14-row tool-text audit: a future tool change cannot silently leave
the CLI reference, MCP guide, Agent Skill context, or tools/list contract behind.

Changelog

Bug fixes

• Generate documented MCP tool facts from the registration contract.
• Enumerate all eight default tools explicitly, including cache-restoring fetch.
• Verify the complete live tool metadata against its golden and generated audit table.
