Traverse v0.5.0
Traverse v0.5.0
Release date: 2026-06-26
Traverse v0.5.0 is the public CLI app registration release. It keeps the v0.4.0 manifest and governed model-dependency baseline intact while adding the public downstream app setup commands, durable local workspace registration state, runtime loading from that state, and conformance evidence needed for downstream apps to bootstrap without private Traverse internals.
Consumers that need only application manifests and governed model dependency evidence can remain pinned to v0.4.0. Consumers that need stable traverse-cli app validate and traverse-cli app register setup flows should move to v0.5.0.
Highlights
- Adds approved Spec
046-public-cli-app-registration. - Adds
traverse-cli app validate --manifest <path> --jsonas the public read-only downstream app validation surface. - Adds
traverse-cli app register --manifest <path> --workspace <workspace-id> --jsonas the public local workspace registration surface. - Persists validated app registration evidence under
.traverse/workspaces/<workspace-id>/apps/<app-id>/<version>/registration.json. - Adds runtime loading from CLI-produced workspace app state so registered capabilities and workflows can be discovered without private setup code.
- Adds downstream public app registration smoke coverage and wires it into downstream app MVP conformance.
- Documents the boundary clearly: CLI app registration is local-dev workspace setup, not an HTTP app registration endpoint, service registry, downstream UI deployment mechanism, or runtime-owned admin API.
Compatibility Notes
- Traverse remains a
0.xproject. Public surfaces are governed and validated, but compatibility can still move before a1.0stability commitment. - The v0.3.0 public compatibility documents remain the historical first
youaskm3release baseline. - The v0.4.0 application manifest and governed model dependency surfaces remain available.
- The v0.5.0 additions are backward-compatible in intent: they add public CLI setup and workspace-state loading surfaces rather than removing the v0.3.0 HTTP/JSON or MCP paths.
- No cross-platform binary package is attached to this release. The release publishes source, release notes, and supply-chain evidence artifacts.
Validation
Release preparation must pass these local gates before tagging:
bash scripts/ci/repository_checks.sh
bash scripts/ci/rust_checks.sh
bash scripts/ci/coverage_gate.sh
bash scripts/ci/supply_chain_check.shThe downstream app MVP conformance path should also pass for the v0.5.0 public CLI registration baseline:
bash scripts/ci/downstream_app_mvp_conformance.shThe GitHub Release should attach the generated supply-chain evidence from target/supply-chain/:
