2026.8.13

Added

  • Assurance presets and self-derivation: a new workspace acquires a working quality contract in one command, seeded from its own record rather than from a generic template item pm-m7bb7r
  • Measurement provider API: extensions contribute measurement sources, so a coverage percentage, a benchmark millisecond, an eval score, an RL episode reward, or a registry dist-tag is bounded on the same terms as an item count item pm-uhv1m5

Fixed

  • The relationship graph's only automated reader is a nine-field census with no structural property, so the deepest enforceable statement about an 11,291-edge record is that every active item has two edges item pm-4vz6mz
  • The measurement ratchet has a single polarity: a filed number can only be enforced as a ceiling, so no quality floor this project wants to hold is expressible item pm-g4k74y
  • Telemetry flush reliability: configurable cold-connect timeout without foreground blocking item pm-pmwozm
  • The real all-package install is budgeted in one of its two instances, so the coverage gate flakes and then reports no coverage verdict at all item pm-h9gsix
  • Absence-tolerant readers accept only ENOENT, so a tracker root that is a regular file raises an unclassified fault instead of the typed refusal the guard already owns — and that fault blocks the daily release item pm-6xlyss
  • Mixed linked-resource remove and add in one command silently favors removal item pm-c6urop
  • Global flags before a subcommand corrupt guided-error command examples by treating the flag value as the command item pm-lph0y6

Other

  • ADR: Lifecycle-sensitive graph partitions are advisory; stable all-status outcomes carry blocking assurance item pm-dczodv
  • The Windows nightly leg cannot separate product defects from harness noise: 744 hardcoded POSIX path literals and 203 raw errno strings in the suite fail on Windows for reasons unrelated to pm behaviour item pm-j668gl

2026.8.12

Fixed

  • Read-output session receipts can emit an invalid next_state after the served-item set crosses its own 10,000-ID input ceiling item pm-b0v8fs
  • Linked pm test children inherit production Sentry environment and turn sandbox failures into release-blocking incidents item pm-9aaji6
  • SDK entrypoint import-cost gate false-fails on cold filesystem cache: single-shot fresh-process sampling exceeds the 30ms noise margin item pm-cg1sjb
  • Legacy invalid provenance findings block health without a safe disposition path item pm-5q8wa0
  • History drift scan hashes reordered linked-test projections item pm-eax4y8
  • Linked-test removal must be lossless and observable for commands containing comma or equals delimiters item pm-m0b7h8
  • Annotation transposition recovery: detect pm <collection\> add <id\> before the item id is consumed as text item pm-rncuf7
  • Health result contract parity: every checks\[\] row exposes a boolean ok beside its tri-state status item pm-h97qxd
  • The relationship ratchet bounds every edge kind that carries meaning and leaves the one kind that carries none unbounded, so the cheapest way to satisfy every graph guarantee is to add edges no algorithm can traverse item pm-q6n8sj
  • Assurance registry mutations and gate verdicts record author unknown while carrying the full detected provenance in the same entry, so the audit artifact fails the question it exists to answer item pm-33mjrw
  • Two assurance measurement sources answer from a projection that omits the fields they read, so a completeness gate reports zero missing evidence on a workspace with 874 items lacking it item pm-py7qv2
  • Assurance mutation refusals cross the CLI as unclassified Sentry faults (PM-CLI-2Y/2Z/30) item pm-v0a0un
  • GH-976: version history hashes so repeated tests_add streams verify across supported pm versions item pm-2htk4p
  • GH-975: export isAlreadyClaimedError through a supported SDK subpath item pm-hfqju5
  • GH-974: merge receipt preferred contradicts retained side under stable_value_order item pm-qckpnq
  • GH-971: health preflight collision diagnostics ignore declared command ownership item pm-zryb9d
  • GH-969: brief item reads can exceed standard output because omission receipts bill empty fields item pm-gok2km
  • GH-970: repeated row contracts consume half of agent read output without a suppression contract item pm-gjjurs
  • The output encoding named toon has no tabular array form, so every row collection pays three to five lines per row while the storage format beside it uses the encoding correctly item pm-5y05kq
  • pm activity answers what happened to one item in the last half hour when the agent asked what changed in the workspace: 20 rows cover 5 of the 272 items touched in 24 hours and none carries a title item pm-j1r8gl
  • pm stats default output is dominated by rows that carry no information: 7 of 17 type buckets are zero, the status split agents actually need is missing, and the row contract costs more than the data item pm-7nqo6b

Other

  • Evaluate and refresh @sentry/node 10.70 with packed-consumer proof item pm-fb0lkg
  • Refresh compatible tsx 4.23.12 and esbuild 0.28.2 patches item pm-67b84b

2026.8.11

Added

  • pm gate: named assertion bundles bound to lifecycle triggers, returning one structured verdict document instead of prose, so local and hosted enforcement run identical semantics item pm-wn6wot
  • Assurance verdicts are appended to the immutable record, so what was enforced when, and who relaxed a bound, is replayable and provable rather than reconstructed from CI logs item pm-91xeam
  • pm assert: a bound over a measurement carrying polarity, scope, lifetime, enforcement level, and a required negative control, so every guarantee states which direction it can fail in item pm-lyfu7b
  • pm measure: a named population over the workspace declared as data, with a composable source vocabulary and derived arithmetic so a bound can be denominated in the unit it actually means item pm-2lex4r
  • Refusal reachability: every error code declares the states it owns, and an entrypoint-level probe proves each state is still reachable as that typed code rather than as an untyped fault item pm-elmpav
  • Source-to-item traceability: derive which tracked work produced any given file or line, so an agent can ask why this code exists and get an evidence-backed answer item pm-f86lth
  • Automatic semantic session attribution: infer bounded topic and role from claimed work and harness context without per-call identity flags item pm-3zgh2c

Fixed

  • Unknown-option recovery names three of six commands that accept the flag, capped silently and in arbitrary order, so the hint excludes the right answer while reading as exhaustive item pm-yqe0mo
  • Subcommand-token error contract: one unknown-subcommand code with nearest-match recovery across every subcommand family item pm-185870

Security

2026.8.10

Added

  • GH-472: create error for missing required custom fields lists the field names item pm-4bzq
  • Provenance records distinguish unavailable configuration from resolver failures item pm-lu6sca

Fixed

  • GH-959 recurrence: snapshot restore planning races lease-expiry fixture cleanup item pm-usq49n
  • GH-960: structured diagnostic notices preserve machine-readable JSON envelopes item pm-embm6t
  • GH-956: lossless acceptance-criteria replacement and unmatched-removal failure contract item pm-lppm6y

  • Preserve executable recovery semantics across terminators, nested aliases, and tracker scope item pm-szn67i
  • Measure source replication against an independently discovered denominator item pm-b84irw
  • GH-515: pm test --add reorders linked tests — --only-last can execute a non-newest command item pm-x2vx
  • GH-490: unknown-command suggester ranks substring hits over synonyms/edit distance — pm log suggests 'extension catalog' item pm-g543
  • GH-441: type-aware create help mislabels applicable flags as required (ignores create-mode) item pm-qmjx
  • GH-519: close recovery bundle suggests --validate-close "<value\>" for an enum flag and hides the real resolution-fields blocker item pm-ulqu
  • GH-950: item-addressing commands reject a consistent --id alias and misroute recovery item pm-mkinft
  • GH-951: required-field policy can force fabricated relationship edges item pm-st7wgu
  • GH-953: close recovery suggested_retry is not executable and drops supplied flags item pm-p316vn
  • A sandboxed fixture records provenance from the host harness environment, so the suite is green on CI and deterministically red for any agent running it locally item pm-xgah3a
  • The session-role dimension is wired to a boolean child-session flag, so every nested claude-code invocation records the role literally as "1" and fleet analytics will group real work under a meaningless label item pm-eq9dlw
  • GH-921/GH-922: merge-decision receipts are not durable in fresh-clone CI item pm-1j5j21
  • GH-948: version-skewed pm invocations silently rewrite the tracked merge fence during unrelated commands item pm-l56d0o
  • A measurement ratchet bound stops enforcing the moment its owner reaches a terminal status, so every guarded population goes unbounded exactly when its fix ships item pm-5z9plz
  • The docs tree grows one file per shipped contract, so 39 of 51 documents are stubs and the SDK's story is split across twelve files item pm-9hv1o7
  • The status-token normalization rule is replicated at five sites and the replication gate covers none of them item pm-ulxdqp
  • The two slowest governance commands load every item body while twenty other SDK modules use the light read path item pm-sr3xzg
  • GH-946: context signal-store staleness warning has no executable remediation contract item pm-wn1jy1
  • GH-943: health remediation points at validate while actionable unknown-author recovery remains undiscoverable item pm-jwmszf
  • GH-942: expose the lightweight all-item metadata reader through the public SDK item pm-yrj7qr
  • GH-941: pm read omits notes without declaring their omission and invites duplicate writes item pm-swfelk

Other

  • Refresh pinned GitHub Actions for PR \#958 with exact-head compatibility proof item pm-obh6lo
  • The measurement ratchet floors only aggregate graph totals, so converting typed semantic edges to untyped ones passes every declaration item pm-70jyvw

2026.8.9

Fixed

  • The release gate cannot classify Sentry events emitted before its own contract producer shipped, so a correct usage refusal from an older release blocks the daily cut for the whole rolling window and clears only by hand item pm-h75tjh
  • Entity projections carry a collection key only when it is non-empty, so an absent key cannot be distinguished from an unprojected one and neither projection level is a superset of the other item pm-b1w8vr
  • Ordering recorded as blocks is invisible to actionability: the same prerequisite schedules differently depending on which endpoint wrote it item pm-jkbqt8
  • Dependency-kind lexicon: fifteen accepted spellings for roughly eight relations, canonicalized inconsistently at write time, so the stored graph vocabulary keeps fragmenting item pm-4020c5
  • GH-930: duplicates --status all silently scans zero items item pm-sy24w2
  • GH-920: health conflates lossless merge receipts with discarded-value decisions item pm-jtwsct
  • GH-937: package list exposes alias rows as packages and overstates the catalog total item pm-fr6u17
  • Post-merge guidance names history-repair, which clears drift but never settles the merge receipt, so every merged item leaves a permanent merge_decisions_unreviewed warning item pm-lwmstb
  • GH-925: package manage diagnostics reject universal read-output controls item pm-479ggz
  • Surface replication gate activates unrelated sets through shared required members item pm-kmnvug
  • GH-924: closed completed plans still recommend pm close item pm-ltlcsw
  • Merge direction decides which agent's value survives: the same two branches converge to different item state depending on which side merges, and nothing reports the divergence item pm-dlx7v7
  • GH-931: linked-test detector misclassifies unrelated node dist/cli.js commands as pm item pm-u3o3ur
  • Release candidate acceptance hard-codes the pre-bump CLI version and blocks the daily cut item pm-7ipajv

2026.8.8

Added

  • The CLI has 195 error codes and contracts none of them: the surface agents read when they are wrong is the only one with no enumeration, no stability promise, and no gate item pm-x4nn3z

Fixed

  • PR \#935 review remediation: executable gate registry and fail-closed runtime context parsing item pm-n41vay

  • Make stale-runtime compatibility classification action-aware across mixed CLI commands item pm-zjelve
  • CLI and SDK refusal contracts now preserve consistent codes and recovery semantics item pm-0xmajx
  • Sentry exception capture never writes the pm.error_code and pm.exit_code tags the release gate reads, so every unexpected runtime error is unclassifiable by construction and blocks the daily cut for the full rolling window item pm-qxo5iu
  • Sentry PM-CLI-2S: resource-exhausted copy reports a high handled error without actionable storage guidance item pm-4odf0c
  • Sentry PM-CLI-2Q: expected snapshot-name validation is captured as a high production error item pm-qyg51h
  • The release gate classifies production errors by message prose and reads none of the 236 error codes the product declares, so every waiver is a latent re-block and a broad substring is a silent waiver item pm-dqtzva
  • The mandatory command-wiring replication set is enforced only by a prose checklist, and the census shows partial application is the single largest recurring defect class in the record item pm-7rrqsk
  • pm get silently discards --output-include field names because entity reads bind the flag to sections while collection reads bind it to fields, and the omission receipt reports no omissions either way item pm-0k19l7
  • GH-919: \_workspace author-attribution coordinates cannot be acknowledged item pm-ety1qc
  • pm comments write response replays the entire accumulated history, so one append can emit hundreds of comments item pm-9stazf

2026.8.7

Added

  • Caller-carried output sessions compose token budgets across reads and suppress repeated item facts item pm-hid9g1
  • Fleet attribution analytics: per-harness and per-model throughput, rework, and defect-escape rates derived from immutable history alone item pm-gw6uyq
  • Improvement ledger: measured properties of pm carry a recorded time series, because a ceiling proves a number did not grow and can never prove a change made it smaller item pm-chahyq

Changed

  • Update @toon-format/toon to 4.1.1 and verify codec compatibility item pm-ko35zx

Fixed

  • Nested pm test coverage changes repository-root fixtures because outer PM_PATH sandboxing leaks into package-owned run-tests item pm-ay3l0p
  • Read surfaces have no common row contract: field projection reaches 4 of 11 commands and the row collection sits under a different key on each, so no single shell or jq expression works across pm item pm-sb0tns
  • Sentry PM-CLI-2W: rejected unknown-author acknowledgments are emitted as high production errors item pm-c3uru0
  • Expose live bounded provenance coverage over immutable history item pm-1wiugq
  • GH-915: Windows nightly Vite import portability and shared contract-fixture isolation regressions item pm-ssd7vv
  • GH-914: macOS extension source identity compares non-canonical /var and /private/var paths item pm-eu46an
  • The coverage gate every contributor is told to run is not a gate: run-tests.mjs coverage prints the shortfall and exits 0, so only CI can fail on coverage item pm-2qqcgl
  • The one projection that promises completeness is the one that loses data: pm contracts --full drops all 76 structured command summaries, returns 160 bare name strings, and reports has_omissions false item pm-x0iv17

  • GH-907: preflight override ownership and statically disjoint command scopes item pm-miy5k6
  • Release ratchet verdicts are a property of the working copy, not the commit: gitignored installs and clone-local git config decide three populations, so an identical commit passes locally and fails in CI item pm-fr4dg8

Fixed

  • GH-896: heterogeneous atomic specification batches need batch-local references and one discoverable SDK-first CLI path item pm-o8z748
  • Completion is decomposed while creation is composed: create takes nine inline evidence flags, close takes none, so the prescribed finish protocol is seven invocations and seven unrelated history entries item pm-cyn0y6

  • Sentry PM-CLI-2V: pm init surfaces raw EACCES when the managed workspace .gitignore cannot be written item pm-3gh457

2026.8.4

Added

  • GH-471: pm context includes an installed package/extension health summary item pm-h85e
  • Static contribution manifest: persist the install-time contribution inventory so the command registry is built from data and extension modules import only when a contribution is actually invoked item pm-021kdp

Fixed

  • Uniform multi-value filter-value grammar: --status accepts CSV but --type/--priority fail fast and --tag silently matches the literal CSV string item pm-gknu
  • list applies an undisclosed default lifecycle scope and reports the scoped count as the corpus total with has_more false, while search applies no such scope, so the two discovery surfaces disagree about what exists item pm-999jh7
  • GH-882: unresolved extension commands must lead with the activation failure and actionable recovery item pm-4uplae
  • Extension-mode is folded into the metadata-cache identity, so alternating --no-extensions with a normal invocation evicts a 4.5 MB cache and every command costs 5 seconds instead of 0.4 item pm-77okxr
  • Declared activation.commands is silently overridden by the renderers/hooks/parser/preflight capability tier, so any extension beyond plain commands is eagerly imported on every invocation item pm-j0w7j9
  • GH-832: package command namespace ownership and collision diagnostics are not discoverable item pm-6z0wzf
  • GH-681: latest calendar ordinal must satisfy stable package peer ranges item pm-csuce0

  • GH-844: local npm package archives are rejected as install sources item pm-lw6acw
