[Unreleased]

[0.26.0] - 2026-09-25

Fixed

  • Fixed Herdr-backed subagent dispatch lifecycle: Herdr skill-first supervision guidance, managed-session guards, verified agent startup receipts, explicit lifecycle outcomes, and bundled-skill drift detection. (SPC-035)
  • Fixed dispatch lifecycle reliability: receipt-backed resource teardown, dirty-worktree protection, verified Herdr agent startup, bounded multi-wave swarm, MCP DAG/swarm tools, focus flags, adapter validation, and installed skill synchronization. (SPC-035)

[0.25.0] - 2026-09-15

Added

  • feat(multiplexer): format projected Herdr workspace labels with branching glyphs and integrate native agent start lifecycle
  • Implement subagent reconciliation engine: verification, merge, and multiplexer teardown (tenx reconcile, tenx abort) (SPC-032)
  • Swarm and DAG subagent dispatch with wave partitioning, parallel execution, interactive visual chat, and MCP tools (SPC-033)
  • Implement reactive subagent wait and event-driven swarm synchronization (SPC-034)

Changed

  • docs(readme): update README with subagent dispatch, visual projection, Bifrost routing, and memory distillation
  • chore(sanitize): scrub personal author names and references for open source release
  • docs(oss): prepare repository documentation, sanitize personal metadata, and document v0.24.0 dispatch (SPC-031)

[0.24.0] - 2026-09-15

Added

  • Hierarchical Herdr sidebar subagent placement via workspace.move, parent-commit git worktree isolation, multi-harness dispatch (omp, prime-agent, codex, pi), dynamic Bifrost model routing, and memory distillation (SPC-030)

[v0.23.0] - 2026-09-15

Added

  • Visual multiplexer projection for tenx dispatch (Herdr workspaces in sidenav and tmux windows) (SPC-029)

[v0.22.0] - 2026-09-15

Added

  • Add subagent ticket dispatch system with tenx ticket-brief, tenx dispatch, and tenx-dispatch skill (SPC-028)

[v0.21.0] - 2026-09-11

Added

  • Validate epic body substance and block evidence gate on unpopulated boilerplate epics (SPC-027)

[v0.20.0] - 2026-09-11

Added

  • GitHub Actions CI: smoke suite runs in both modes (module + pip-installed) plus tenx validate on every push/PR across Python 3.10/3.12/3.13 (SPC-024)
  • Structured spec template: numbered FR-### requirements, SC-### success criteria, [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers, Given/When/Then acceptance guidance (SPC-025)
  • tenx validate enforces spec discipline: clarify-markers-open (error on open ambiguity past draft), requirement-uncovered / requirement-orphan coverage rules (marker-driven, legacy specs immune) (SPC-025)
  • tenx converge : deterministic spec-completion convergence — FR-### vs tickets report, --append creates missing tickets (append-only, byte-for-byte no-op when clean), --json for agents (SPC-025)
  • tenx_converge MCP tool (15 tools total): JSON convergence report for agent-driven projects; append=true creates missing tickets under the harness lock, report stays lock-free (SPC-026)

Changed

  • the tenx repo now runs commit_gate: on — staged code without activity-log write-back blocks the commit (new projects keep the warn default) (SPC-024)
  • commit-without-writeback rule builds its git --since window with whole-second ISO timestamps for consistent parsing across git versions (SPC-024)
  • define explicit development vs operational execution scope boundary in managed agent instructions and skills

Fixed

  • smoke suite module mode is now hermetic: it provides a PATH shim running the source tree so the git pre-commit gate works on bare checkouts (fresh CI runners) without an installed tenx (SPC-024)
  • git-aware enforcement (commit-without-writeback rule, gate commit-check) now parses git timestamps with a trailing Z — on UTC hosts with Python 3.10 both previously failed open and never fired (SPC-024)

[v0.19.0] - 2026-08-26

Added

  • Git-aware enforcement: tenx validate now flags recent code commits that have no activity-log write-back (commit-without-writeback rule, fail-open without git), and a new staged-change freshness gate (tenx gate commit-check) runs inside the git pre-commit hook; configure with commit_gate: on|warn|off (default warn) (SPC-023)
  • tenx doctor now audits enforcement health — missing/stale git pre-commit gate, core.hooksPath bypass, stale managed agent surfaces, missing .mcp.json / bundled skills, commit_gate: off — exits non-zero on problems with exact fix commands; tenx doctor --json adds enforcement_problems (SPC-023)
  • blocked is now a legal ticket status (workflow already referenced it); ticket creation and moves auto-append activity-log entries so ticket state changes are auditable (SPC-023)
  • Audit trail for gate escapes: evidence-gate blocks log a blocker entry, --force completions log a decision entry, and tenx archive now requires --approved-by "" and records the approver in the activity log (SPC-023)
  • tenx update re-syncs hooks and managed agent surfaces (hook install --agent detected --git) automatically after a successful upgrade (SPC-023)

Changed

  • Completion-drift rules (derived-status-drift, orphan-spec, epic-progress-drift) are now errors when an artifact is authored complete without the derived progress to back it — hand-editing status: complete in a spec/epic file no longer passes validate (SPC-023)
  • Evidence gate changelog check now scans every changelog section (not only [Unreleased]), so work documented under a released version also satisfies docs-sync (SPC-023)
  • cleanup from audit LOW findings: removed dead cli.py imports, completed the cli.py command map in the module docstring (capabilities/changelog/exec/gate/review/archive/scan/sync/mcp), README fixes (changelog in the mutating-command list, skills status, archive --approved-by, full init flag set), and the exec brief now runs validate before set-complete (SPC-023)

Fixed

  • Git hook discovery handles linked worktrees (.git pointer files resolve to the common hooks dir); the pre-commit hook is timeout-wrapped and fails open with a warning if tenx itself fails, so a broken tenx can never block all commits (SPC-023)
  • MCP mutating tools now take the same per-project harness lock as the CLI (tenx_ticket/log/set/scan/... no longer race concurrent agents); MCP callers may pass root explicitly (SPC-023)
  • yamlite hardening: zero-indent lists parse correctly and fallback-parser problems are reported visibly instead of silently dropping content (SPC-023)
  • Changelog round-trip preserves heading-less entries, sub-bullets, and prose (byte-stable re-render) (SPC-023)
  • Capabilities catalog fixes: init and gate entries added, capabilities tagged for both CLI+MCP surfaces, archive/doctor/scan guidance updated; stale managed agent surfaces are now also a validate warning (agent-surface-stale) (SPC-023)
  • Docs refresh: architecture overview + README MCP tool list updated to current reality, dead docs/agent-adapters.md link removed, bundled tenx-process skill priority order aligned with tenx next, exec brief now documents the evidence gate, changelog requirement, and commit gate (SPC-023)
  • tenx watchdog now flags only unresolved blocker log entries (a blocker counts as resolved once a later progress/decision entry follows up on the same ref) — audited gate-block entries no longer pollute the watchdog forever (SPC-023)
  • tenx scan makes the census top-15 truncation visible (heading says 'top 15 of N entries'), so a missing entry in the codebase map reads as not-shown instead of deleted (SPC-023)
  • --root is now accepted both before and after the subcommand (tenx validate --root X works; previously only tenx --root X validate did) (SPC-023)
  • tenx scan --write now actually preserves manual additions appended below the regeneration promise in the codebase map (the promise was previously false: re-scans silently deleted them) (SPC-023)

[v0.18.0] - 2026-08-26

Added

  • DSH agent preset: rename to 'tenx — Meta-Harness Engineering Agent' and rewrite the description to lead with tenx's real purpose (context-as-code meta-harness) instead of describing it as a coding agent.
  • Added tenx capabilities command and tenx_capabilities MCP tool: curated capability catalog with when-to-use guidance, advertised in the context packet (SPC-022)

Fixed

  • Fixed DSH preset mount failure in DSH web: added missing delegation rows (workflow-worker-thread, tool-subagent-list-agents, tool-subagent-fork, tool-ralph) to DSH_PRESET_CORDIS template (SPC-019)

[v0.17.0] - 2026-08-25

Added

  • DSH agent preset: tenx hook install --agent dsh emits a mountable preset whose persona hard-mandates the tenx loop (validate MUST pass, landing gate) (SPC-019)
  • Git pre-commit gate: tenx hook install --git (and init in a git repo) blocks commits while tenx validate reports errors — universal across all harnesses (SPC-020)

Changed

  • Hardened universal mandate block: AGENTS.md/bootstrap now state the loop as HARD RULES; per-harness forced tiers documented; agent aliases (dsh/agy/prime) (SPC-021)

[v0.16.0] - 2026-08-25

Added

  • tenx changelog command (show/add/release) for Keep-a-Changelog discipline (SPC-018)
  • Docs-drift validation rules: changelog-missing, changelog-format, changelog-unreleased-empty (SPC-018)
  • Evidence gate now requires a changelog entry referencing a spec/epic before completion (SPC-018)
  • tenx init seeds a CHANGELOG.md; tenx_changelog MCP tool; tenx-docs-sync skill (SPC-018)

[0.15.0] - 2026-08-25

Added

  • Concurrency-safe harness state: per-project advisory lock (.tenx/.lock) serializes mutating commands (SPC-017)
  • Atomic file writes (same-directory temp + os.replace) for all state-file updates (SPC-017)
  • TENX_LOCK_TIMEOUT override; clean exit-2 on lock timeout, no traceback (SPC-017)

Changed

  • .tenx/.lock gitignored; read-only commands skip the harness lock (SPC-017)

[0.14.0] - 2026-08-25

Added

  • Enforced evidence gate: tenx set <ID> status complete requires clean validate, done tickets, and linked evidence (EPC-008)
  • tenx triage command + tenx_triage MCP tool + tenx-triage agent-role skill (EPC-008)
  • --force human override and evidence_gate: off config escape hatch (EPC-008)

[0.13.0] - 2026-08-25

Added

  • Priority tiers P0/P1/P2 for epics/specs; specs inherit epic priority (EPC-007)
  • tenx watchdog: ranked attention items with are-they-handled verdicts (EPC-007)
  • Landing discipline encoded in skills: evidence before done, bounded 2-cycle fix loop, human landing gate (EPC-007)

[0.12.0] - 2026-08-25

Added

  • tenx update [--check]: self-update via GitHub Releases with branch fallback (EPC-005)
  • Session-start update awareness in the context packet, AGENTS.md block, and process skill (EPC-005)

[0.11.0] - 2026-08-24

Added

  • Deep SDLC linting: hygiene rules and RULE_CATALOG single source of truth (EPC-004)
  • tenx validate --list-rules [--json] prints the rule catalog without a project (EPC-004)

[0.10.0] - 2026-08-24

Added

  • tenx review queue and tenx archive to retire finished epics (SPC-006)

[0.9.0] - 2026-08-24

Added
