v5.5.2 — FAF Foundation Edition
[5.5.2] - 2026-05-03
Added
- Postinstall star CTA — runs once on
npm install -g claude-faf-mcpafter the success confirmation. Quiet, no throws, no spam.
Changed
- displayName standardized to
.faf 🐘— pairs the constant elephant family mark with each surface's modifier in MCP client lists (matches grok-faf-mcp's.faf 🐘⚡️ for Grokpattern). - Package description aligned to "Persistent project context for AI" — the canonical positioning across the FAF family. npm and MCP Registry catalogs both pick this up.
- Branding pass — README scoring table now uses geometric tier symbols (★ ◆ ◇ ● ○ ♡) matching
faf-cli/src/core/tiers.ts. 🏆 is the only emoji marker; decorative emojis stripped from CLI surfaces. - manifest.json description sharpened to "Persistent project context that survives sessions, works across AI tools, and eliminates re-explaining" — strengthens the user-facing pitch in Claude Desktop's Extensions catalog.
Fixed
- vercel.json restored — fixes the "No Output Directory" deploy error that surfaced after a prior cleanup pass. claude-faf-mcp.vercel.app builds cleanly again.
- MCP Registry hygiene — server.json metadata pass for cleaner Registry listing.
Internal
- CI Performance Check job is now non-gating — perf tests report but don't block main CI. Restores red-means-real signal integrity.
- Perf-check fake-fail eliminated —
test:performancenow overridestestPathIgnorePatternsso Jest actually picks uptests/performance.test.ts. Workflow had been silently exit-1'ing on "No tests found" for months, painting a fake red X on every commit. Real perf gate restored: 10/10 perf tests pass in 14s ("Championship Performance Achieved"). - Removed
npm publishfrom CI workflow (#50). /pubpro is the single source of truth for shipping; CI validates only. - Removed
publish-mcp.ymlauto-publisher. Same doctrine: CI validates, pubpro publishes — never both. - Weekly npm audit auto-fix kept current.
Notes
- Docs + branding + CI hygiene patch — no MCP protocol changes, no breaking changes for tool users. Safe upgrade for all consumers.
- First release after the FAF Foundation alignment sweep (
.faf 🐘family mark, "Persistent project context" tagline, three-reader tree).
