v0.6.0

0.6.0 — 18 August 2026

Release: v0.6.0

A minor release: validation and accountability surfaces on top of the v0.5 memory. rocky brief reads local git history and remembered failures/fixes since your last look and reports what changed, with optional loopback-Ollama narrative polish. rocky journal writes one dogfood note at a time to a local, append-only file. rocky invariants parses .rocky/invariants.md guard blocks with an in-house glob matcher and discloses any glob that currently matches nothing. rocky stats gained per-kind record counts, memory age, and journal count. The record schema envelope is documented in docs/schema.md, including the reserved rationale and guard kinds for future writers.

Added

• rocky brief [--since <ref|24h>] [--quiet] [--ai]. Deterministic five-block composition — window state, commit churn, remembered failures/fixes, touched invariant guards, and a closing line — scoped to the current directory and a --since window that accepts a git ref or a duration (90m, 24h, 7d), defaulting to 24 hours since the last brief or first run. --ai requires exact line-count parity with the deterministic output before accepting loopback-Ollama polish, and falls back to the deterministic text on any mismatch or when Ollama is unavailable. Reads local git log and memory only; --ai stays on loopback.
• rocky journal "<note>". Appends one line to a local dogfood journal. Local file write only, no network.
• rocky invariants. Lists remembered invariant notes parsed from .rocky/invariants.md and reports which guard globs match zero files in the current tree, so a stale guard doesn't silently protect nothing. Malformed blocks are never silently dropped.
• Extended rocky stats. Per-kind record counts, memory age, and journal entry count join the existing totals and coverage summary.
• Schema envelope documentation. docs/schema.md documents the record envelope discriminated by kind, including reserved rationale and guard kinds for writers that don't exist yet.

Not in this release

• The reserved rationale kind has no writer yet — decided during design, tracked for a later release.
• No recall-hit or guard-trigger counter in rocky stats yet: no evidence for either is recorded today (journal covers "Rocky helped" moments manually), so the per-kind block will pick both up automatically once a writer exists.
• scripts/release-check.mjs's RELEASE_TAG/RELEASE_COMMIT still point at v0.5.5. They are re-pinned to v0.6.0 in a separate commit once the tag exists, so this branch's own CI does not go red before the tag is cut.
