Release Notes

First stable release: from here on the command line, file format, --json output, exit codes
and lint rule codes follow the Stability promise in the README. The code is the same as
0.1.0; the list below is everything that changed on the way from the first internal drafts,
where breaking changes were still allowed.

Verification from test evidence

  • rqtk scan finds verifies links in source: Rust #[verifies("…")], Python
    @verifies("…"), and a // rqtk: verifies … comment tag for any language.
  • rqtk verify --results junit.xml records test outcomes per activity in
    .rqtk/evidence.toml, against the requirement's content hash. --check fails when the
    committed evidence is out of date.
  • Coverage adds Suspect (tests passed for an earlier version of the requirement) and
    Failed. The hand-written status of a test-linked activity is ignored (lint RQ029).
  • #[verifies] rebuilds the annotated test when its requirement file changes.
  • Rust projects need just one crate: rqtk with its macros feature provides
    #[rqtk::verifies("…")] (also as rqtk::macros), without pulling in the CLI's
    dependencies.

For coding agents

  • Global --json on every command; fixed exit codes (0 ok, 1 findings, 2 usage, 3 error);
    --dry-run on every command that writes; no interactive prompts.
  • rqtk context <ID> (briefing for one item), rqtk impact <rev> (what a change touches and
    what to re-verify), rqtk schema <kind>, rqtk explain <code>.
  • Agent skills (rqtk-requirements, rqtk-verification, /to-requirements,
    /requirements-review), installed with rqtk skills install or rqtk init --agents into
    .agents/skills with links for Claude Code; also available as a Claude Code plugin.

Distribution

  • Prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux and Windows with shell and PowerShell installers
    (curl -LsSf https://rqtk.dev/install.sh | sh), built by cargo-dist on each release tag.
  • Documentation at rqtk.dev, with llms.txt and a Markdown copy of every
    page for agents.

File format (schema_version 1)

  • Flat files: statement = "…" and status fields at the top level, links in [trace].
  • Unknown fields are errors; every broken file is reported in one run with its line
    (RQ100–RQ102); duplicate IDs and file-name mismatches are caught.
  • Native TOML dates are accepted.
  • rehash and baseline preserve comments and layout.
  • Content hashes are versioned (v1:) and no longer collide across field boundaries.

Lint

  • New rules RQ024–RQ030; RQ017 names every requirement in a cycle and ignores symmetric
    links; RQ011 checks all statements with whole-word matching; STK001 became RQ023.

Removed

  • C++ bindings (rqtk-cpp, codegen-cpp-verifies), GraphML output, the Typst/PDF report
    (rqtk report now writes Markdown), interactive prompts, and the unused
    [change_control] and [export] configuration sections.
