ArcKit 6.9.0

Added

• State ask-always/answer-optional in ADM commands and wire in template intake questions

Fixed

• Sync extension parity tests with converter PLUGIN_SOURCES (arckit-oaa)
• Make shipped ADM templates render conforming artefacts (14-field Document Control, canonical revision-history columns, valid mermaid)
• Standardise intake §5 provenance keys and add the artefact-value audit rule
• Mirror community intake-instructions.md into the Claude overlay layout
• Make intake interview ask-always/answer-optional and wire in template intake questions
• Point canonical guide codex-marketplace ref at terrygzhou/arckit-codex
• Sync intake-instructions.md shared asset into all community plugins
• Resolve MD012 multiple-blank-line lint in README and CHANGELOG
• Make GitHub Release creation idempotent
• Fail fast when PYPI_API_TOKEN is missing or invalid in PyPI publish

Changed

• Gitignore .env.* local env files
• Close out intake-authoritative-questions tasks (lint, commit, layout-sync fix)
• Serialize release & PyPI publish with concurrency guards
• Make PyPI upload idempotent via twine --skip-existing

OAA intake as a MANDATORY PRIN hard gate (TOGAF-consistent)

• All five OAA overlay commands hard-gate on the global PRIN (Architecture Principles) artefact: if missing, the command stops and points at /arckit:principles — it never renders a missing PRIN as TBD. Bulk builds of OAA targets without PRIN now fail/skip instead of emitting scaffolded artefacts.
• Bulk-build recipes (oaa-full.yaml) now declare PRIN as a dependency of every OAA target.

Intake interview: ask-always, answer-optional

• OAA, TOGAF ADM, and agent-architecture intake questions are now ask-always, answer-optional: prefilled dimensions are surfaced for confirmation/override; source-less ones are asked grouped and skippable, rendering TBD when skipped.
• OAA intake gains a C208 / TOGAF 10 discovery floor (business vision, capabilities, current-state, technology, pain points) via references/intake-discovery-dimensions.md.

Fixes

• arckit build (BYO LLM): the completion budget is now capped to context_window − prompt − reserve, fixing HTTP 400 … exceeds the model's maximum context length on models whose context window equals max_tokens. New llm.context_window config key.
• Registered GLOS and FWRK doc types (converged GLO/GLOSS/FWRK recipe spellings) so /arckit:glossary and /arckit:framework can write conforming filenames; also resolved five further silent recipe-code drift classes.
• Kept generated version trees in lockstep on release bumps (hardened bump-version.sh + org-agnostic release-link rewrite).

Distribution

• Detached the Codex standalone distribution to terrygzhou/arckit-codex (per-target publish-owner override in push-extensions.sh; overridable via ARCKIT_CODEX_OWNER). Other distributions are unchanged.
