Unreleased

Added complete Codex plugin publisher and interface metadata, with package checks that prevent future manifests from passing without the fields required by generic plugin validation.

Added the owner-gated item_progression: parallel policy to cs-epic: the main workflow stays the sole orchestrator and cursor writer, workers execute dependency-independent items in host-provided isolated workspaces, and integration is serialized without advancing mainline history until per-item re-verification passes (protocol in references/parallel-execution.md).
Scoped the skill-coupling rule to file-level dependencies; mentioning or routing to another skill by name remains allowed.

Replaced task-shape workflow tiers with minimum sufficient assurance selected from unexcluded risks.
Added pre-approval Epic route discovery with a document-owned route map, derived frontier, and explicit HITL decisions.
Added conditional shared-language alignment for Feature and Epic design without introducing a mandatory glossary or new gate.
Removed stale experiments for retired v1 skill entries and tightened experiment-to-skill consistency checks.

Reduced the shipped package from the 32 skills in v1.0.4 to 8 thin-harness skills: cs, cs-onboard, cs-feat, cs-issue, cs-refactor, cs-review, cs-epic, and cs-keep.
Renamed cs-code-review to cs-review — it now reviews designs and runs audits, not only code. cs-code-review ships as the single thin compatibility alias (forwarding only), the one exception to the no-shim rule below.
Retired the other 24 v1 entry names without compatibility shims. A one-time exact-name removal is required before the skills CLI full-package reinstall because that CLI does not prune removed package members. Removal is name-based, so same-name custom skills require an explicit backup.
Replaced distributed project runtime assets with minimal project memory: attention.md, lessons/, and work/. Existing v1 artifacts remain untouched and searchable, but v2 does not execute or refresh legacy tools, gates, hooks, references, or manifests.
Reworked build-cs-skill around thin harness, thick context, direct semantic tests, explicit rule ownership, context plans, and continuous compression; frontmatter contracts are no longer used.
Separated frozen v1 experiment fixtures from the active v2 contract and added v1.0.4-to-v2 distribution, architecture, and documentation coverage.

Hardened CodeStable workflow contracts across Epic dependency admission, Goal authorization, checkpoint resume, independent review, runtime safety, and release gates.

Added the cs-feedback evidence pipeline for collecting local Codex and Claude session context, triaging incidents, and producing privacy-safe public issue previews.
Added candidate-only fixture conversion in the shipped plugin and fail-closed regression fixture promotion in the repository evaluation tooling.
Hardened current-session discovery, trigger cutoffs, provider-aware tool pairing, public redaction, and upload confirmation gates.

Hardened runtime upgrades: versionless or mismatched manifests now require synchronization, while /cs-onboard --mode refresh-runtime refreshes package-owned assets without overwriting dirty managed paths.
Updated the root cs router so action requests dispatch to the target skill in the current run, while advice and overview requests remain non-executing.
Synchronized Codex and Claude marketplace versions and documented complete-plugin plus per-repository upgrade steps.

Simplified CodeStable skill entrypoints around main workflow skills and compatibility wrappers.
Added cs-feat, cs-epic, and cs-docs main entries with explicit --stage / --mode argument semantics.
Added long-running goal driver semantics for feature and epic flows, including /goal fallback instructions.
Added workflow scenario coverage and Paseo-agent verification evidence for changed skill workflows.
Documented partial status for earlier state-machine and manual dogfood reports.

Added the committed CodeStable plugin distribution structure under plugins/codestable/.
Moved CodeStable cs / cs-* skills to plugins/codestable/skills/ as the canonical skill source.
Added Codex and Claude marketplace manifests for local repository installation.
Added marketplace metadata required by Codex and Claude CLI validation.
Documented upgrade commands for Codex, Claude, and skills CLI users.
Removed the root-level browser-bridge standalone skill from this distribution branch.
