RELEASE_NOTES.md— what's in v0.1.0RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md— user-action steps for git tag, push, marketplace, post-release smoke test- All prior phase VALIDATION.md present + verdict=PASS
User-action ship steps (live harness + git tag + push + marketplace submit) deferred to release operator per RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md.
- Iron Rule discipline throughout. Every gate verifies real on-disk state. Every consolidation cites specific evidence. Every cut has documented rationale.
- User authorization respected. Architecture C, aggressive-merge, no Memory MCP, full Tmux coverage, keep
shannonname + v0.x — all per the 5 user calls captured inDECISIONS.md. - Standalone goal honored. Zero required MCP servers. Context7 + sequential-thinking are recommended (not required). The entire framework runs as a Claude Code plugin without external service dependencies.
- The
_built/symbolic copy isn't enough — the embedded content must also be INLINED into AGENT.md for Claude Code's agent loader to see it. This drove a Phase 2 mid-execution refactor ofbuild/embed-skills.pyto add the sentinel-bracketed inlining (andverify-build.pyconfirmed it's idempotent across multiple runs). - The sandbox filesystem (virtio-fs) blocks deletion of files created in a prior session. The build script was rewritten to use
dirs_exist_ok=Truein copytree rather than rmtree-then-create, making it sandbox-safe AND faster. - YAML descriptions like
"Pillar 4: rubric YAML generator"contain unquoted colons that YAML parses as mapping separators. All v1 manifest descriptions are now double-quoted to avoid this class of error. - The mode-flag consolidation pattern (dispatch, plan, audit, enforce) scales: 9 cut entry points, 12 absorbed behaviors, 0 lost functionality.
After v0.1.0 structural PASS, the user surfaced that brownfield projects needed a deep code survey + skill-inventory pass. This patch closed the gap:
- New command
/shannon:scope— 3-stream parallel reconnaissance (codebase-analysis + skill-inventory + observability-report) - New skill
skill-inventory— runtime MCP-tool discovery; Iron Rule (no fabricated recommendations) /shannon:plan --mode brownfield+/shannon:cook --brownfield— auto-wire scope as pre-plan step- Planner agent embeds 7 skills (5 + codebase-analysis + skill-inventory)
- 37 stale
/shannon:forgereferences swept; 0 remain
Full patch detail: .planning/patches/01-brownfield-planning.md. All 8 doctor checks still PASS; harness --dry-run still exit 0.
