PM-Skills v2.4.0
PM-Skills v2.4.0 Release Notes
Date: 2026-02-16
Status: Shipped
Big Idea
v2.4.0 is the contract-lock release for output and config behavior.
It closes B-03 and B-04 as closed-aligned with evidence-backed determinism checks.
What Was Delivered
- B-03 output behavior contract lock:
- Hybrid output defaults with intent guardrails.
- Collision safety matrix (
abort,overwrite,merge,new-file) with safe non-interactive fallback. - Path safety, target-selection, and required output metadata expectations captured in closure artifacts.
- Closure decision:
_NOTES/delivery-plan/B-03c-closure-decision.md(closed-aligned).
- B-04 config contract lock:
- YAML-only canonical authoring with one canonical internal model.
- Strict config discovery precedence across approved paths.
- Unknown/deprecated key policy locked (
warnlocal, strictfailin CI mode, one-version grace). - Closure decision:
_NOTES/delivery-plan/B-04c-closure-decision.md(closed-aligned).
- Shared config contract validation proof set:
_NOTES/delivery-plan/config-schema-v1.json_NOTES/delivery-plan/scripts/validate-config-contract-v2.4.ps1_NOTES/delivery-plan/scripts/validate-config-contract-v2.4.py_NOTES/delivery-plan/evidence/config/*.yaml
- Release planning state sync for ship:
docs/internal/release-planning/checklist_v2.4.0.mdset to shipped state.docs/internal/release-planning/Release_v2.2_to_v2.5_execution-plan.mdremains aligned on v2.4 complete, v2.5 next.
Validation Performed
- B-03 and B-04 hard preconditions recorded PASS in closure decisions.
- Determinism gate evidence recorded PASS in
B-03bandB-04b. - Config validator evidence confirms strict/warn behavior and expected failures for invalid fixtures.
- Supersession completeness checks recorded in evidence artifacts.
What This Means
v2.4.0is now the baseline contract for output behavior and config behavior.- Release claims for contract lock are tied to explicit closure and evidence artifacts.
v2.5.0remains focused on foundation/persona decisions (B-05,B-06).
Non-Goals for v2.4.0
- No new PM skills were added.
- No foundation/persona closure work was shipped in this release.
