Full Release Notes
### Harness Support - **Devin CLI**: `devin plugins install obra/superpowers` now works, and skills auto-trigger at session start. (#1995) - **Hermes Agent**: install from a git clone; skills register with Hermes' native loader and the bootstrap loads on the first turn. (#1922, #2025) - **Grok Build CLI** added to the install docs. (#1919) ### Brainstorming - **Ceremony now scales to the task.** Requests are classified as spike, bounded, or architectural; small tasks skip the two-document ritual. Every path still stops for your approval before implementation. (#2063) ### Subagent-Driven Development - **Controllers no longer stall on plan conflicts.** Non-catastrophic conflicts and ambiguities get a recorded ruling and work continues; only destructive or irreversible actions still stop for a human. One donated session had sat blocked for almost nine hours on a question the controller could have decided. (#2077) - **The pre-dispatch conflict scan records its checks in the ledger** instead of just asserting the plan is clean. (#2080) - **Small same-shape tasks batch into one dispatch**, cutting subagent cost sharply on micro-task plans; batch reviews verify every file in the brief made it into the diff. (#2078) - **Implementers and reviewers may not spawn their own subagents**, which was producing duplicate reviews. (#2059) - **Plans carry a `Spec:` pointer** and SDD reads the spec at setup, so plan conflicts get resolved against the design instead of guessed at. (#2086) - Reviewers re-read evidence they find illegible instead of re-running the test suite (#2089), and circuit-breaker rulings now show up in the Finish report. ### Codex - Subagent waits are event-driven instead of poll-heavy, spawns pin model and reasoning effort explicitly, and the multi-agent reference is corrected against Codex source. (#2060, #2061, #2062) ### Finishing a Development Branch - **Worktree removal no longer destroys untracked files.** When `git worktree remove` refuses because the tree holds uncommitted work, the skill stops, names the files, and asks — instead of reaching for `--force`. (#2016, #1223, #2024) ### Fixes - `render-graphs.js` in writing-skills works on Windows. - Corrected Copilot CLI backgrounding guidance for Windows. (#1929, #2006) - `bump-version.sh` covers the Hermes manifest. ### Documentation - README: added a table of contents and reorganized Getting Started.
