v0.19.18

First GitHub Release since v0.19.4 — closes the release gap (0.19.6 → 0.19.18). Auto-update clients receive it at next session start; others: claude plugin marketplace update claude-dev-kit.

Highlights

Product-owner workflow (upstream of issue-to-PR)

• plan-backlog guided-by-default mode + rich navigable review artifact.
• plan-definition — a guided discovery/definition phase that produces a grounded product definition (with a provenance model) before the backlog.
• delegate-backlog (experimental) — async fan-out of an approved backlog to GitHub Copilot coding agent, then re-applying pr-review/fix-pr on the resulting PRs. Never fabricates a trigger, never auto-merges.
• follow-ups — track a story's loose ends as linked tickets.

Robustness guardrails (from real user reports)

• Never invent a /builder-style CI/comment trigger — route to work-story.
• Never act on or claim to post to a closed/stale PR — verify state, read back, capture the real PR.

Adapters & reach

• Jira REST + token fallback for clients without (or blocked from) the Atlassian MCP — authMode: "rest", credentials in a git-ignored .env, auto-activates when the MCP is unavailable.
• Azure DevOps as a PR host; prs_created telemetry; real-world PHP/Python stack CI; Windows CRLF fix.

Project

• Dogfood setup (CLAUDE.md + .claude/dev-kit.json); Discussions enabled; hooks RFC (#92) and versioning RFC (#87) opened.
