WebDev Agent Kit v0.4.0

WebDev Agent Kit v0.4.0

Added

• Added stable goal, acceptance-criterion, and execution-slice identifiers for durable standard and deep planning contracts.
• Added explicit ENABLER slices that must name the approved downstream work they unlock.
• Added a compact clarification gate for standard and deep goals that asks at most three material questions, one at a time, and integrates accepted answers into the goal contract.
• Added durable coverage maps linking acceptance criteria to execution slices, verification evidence, and canonical planning states.
• Added a deterministic read-only planning analysis mode with stable findings,
  severity-based handoff gates, and checks for coverage, scope, ownership,
  conflict, approval, and verification gaps.
• Added post-implementation convergence with evidence-backed gap types, stable
  findings, and append-only durable-plan passes.
• Added shared review, loop, checkpoint, decision, and resume fields that keep
  goal, criterion, slice, convergence, and verification state aligned.
• Added a 13-case planning-integrity eval suite plus Codex and Claude Code parity
  coverage for portable, read-only plan analysis.
• Added deterministic planning-integrity validation, in-memory negative fixtures,
  and blocking PR and release CI gates for planning drift.
• Added generated-target planning parity checks for shared rules, templates,
  skill bodies, alias artifacts, and context budgets.
• Added 48 cross-client planning smoke checks covering eight portable workflow
  contracts across all six generated runtime targets.

Changed

• Release target inspection now distinguishes legitimate templates/project/**
  source templates from forbidden root project/** runtime state.
• Tagged release validation now requires non-empty Unreleased notes while ordinary branch validation continues to allow a clean post-release section.
• Goal and execution plan templates now preserve criterion and slice identity across implementation, retry, and resume workflows without adding planning ceremony to lightweight work.
• Goal planning now uses verified context before asking and skips repeated, low-impact, safely inferable, or purely implementation-level questions.
• Checkpoints, decisions, compaction, and loop contracts now preserve the same goal, criterion, and slice identifiers instead of creating parallel completion models.
• Execution planning now selects an explicit create, resume, or analyze
  mode and keeps analysis findings outside durable plan and source files.
• Execution planning now supports converge mode without changing application
  files, rewriting prior plan history, or adding empty success passes.
• Independent review now judges active criteria and coverage evidence without
  creating slices; bounded loops and checkpoints reuse the same plan identifiers.
• Planning evals validate static fixture contracts and cross-client expectations;
  they do not claim to prove live model behavior.
• Aligned manifests, eval fixtures, installation guides, and release validation
  with the 0.4.0 release candidate.

Installation

Verify the selected archive against SHA256SUMS. Extract Codex and Cursor archives from the project root; they create .agents/ automatically. Extract Claude archives as the native webdev-agent-kit/ plugin root. See docs/install/README.md for the client-specific entrypoint.
