Summary

CHANGELOG.md is a generated artifact — scripts/generate-changelog.sh writes single-line bullets per PR, and rich
PR-body bullets routinely exceed the 120-char MD013 line-length limit. Wrapping those lines would conflict with the
generator on every regen.

Mirrors the existing exclusion for spec/CHANGELOG.md (also generated / vendored). Same rationale: content is authored
elsewhere, this repo's lint rules don't apply at this layer.

Surfaced when the v0.2.0 release CHANGELOG (9 cherry-picked PRs' worth of curated bullets after the parallel PR-body
audit) tripped MD013 on the release/v0.2.0main CI run.

Changelog

Changed

  • .markdownlint-cli2.yaml excludes CHANGELOG.md from linting. Aligns its treatment with spec/CHANGELOG.md and
    reflects that the file is regenerated by scripts/generate-changelog.sh, not hand-edited. Per-line content is
    governed by PR-body bullets in source PRs, not by this repo's MD013 line-length rule.

Type of Change

  • chore: Maintenance tasks (config)

Related Issues/Stories

Testing

  • Manual testing completed
  • All tests passing

Test Summary:

  • markdownlint-cli2 'CHANGELOG.md' after the config change: Linting: 0 file(s) / Summary: 0 error(s) (file correctly excluded).
  • markdownlint-cli2 '**/*.md' (full repo): unchanged behavior on all other files.

Files Modified

Modified:

  • .markdownlint-cli2.yaml — added - "CHANGELOG.md" to ignores list with a comment explaining the rationale.

Breaking Changes

  • No breaking changes

Lint config tweak only; no shipping content affected.

Deployment Notes

  • No special deployment steps required

Checklist

  • Code follows project conventions and style guidelines

  • Self-review of code completed
  • Tests added/updated and passing
  • No new warnings or errors introduced
  • Changes are backward compatible

CHANGELOG.md is a generated artifact (scripts/generate-changelog.sh
writes single-line bullets per PR; one bullet often exceeds the 120-char
MD013 line-length limit because PR-body content is dense). Wrapping
those lines would conflict with the generator on every regen.

Mirrors the existing exclusion for spec/CHANGELOG.md (also a generated
or vendored artifact). Both files share the same exclusion rationale:
content is authored elsewhere, lint rules don't apply at this layer.

Surfaced when the v0.2.0 release CHANGELOG (rich PR-body bullets across
9 cherry-picked PRs after the parallel PR-body audit) tripped MD013 on
the release/v0.2.0 -> main CI run.

## Summary

`CHANGELOG.md` is a generated artifact — `scripts/generate-changelog.sh`
writes single-line bullets per PR, and rich
PR-body bullets routinely exceed the 120-char MD013 line-length limit.
Wrapping those lines would conflict with the
generator on every regen.

Mirrors the existing exclusion for `spec/CHANGELOG.md` (also generated /
vendored). Same rationale: content is authored
elsewhere, this repo's lint rules don't apply at this layer.

Surfaced when the v0.2.0 release CHANGELOG (9 cherry-picked PRs' worth
of curated bullets after the parallel PR-body
audit) tripped MD013 on the `release/v0.2.0` → `main` CI run.

## Changelog

### Changed

- `.markdownlint-cli2.yaml` excludes `CHANGELOG.md` from linting. Aligns
its treatment with `spec/CHANGELOG.md` and
reflects that the file is regenerated by

governed by PR-body bullets in source PRs, not by this repo's MD013
line-length rule.

## Type of Change

- [x] `chore`: Maintenance tasks (config)

## Related Issues/Stories

- Related PRs: gates `release/v0.2.0` → `main` (PR #12). The v0.2.0
release CHANGELOG content is the trigger; without this lint exclusion,
every release will trip MD013.

## Testing

**Test Summary:**

- `markdownlint-cli2 'CHANGELOG.md'` after the config change: `Linting:
0 file(s) / Summary: 0 error(s)` (file correctly excluded).

Bump VERSION to 0.2.0 and regenerate CHANGELOG via
scripts/generate-changelog.sh against the cherry-picked PRs (#1, #2,
#3, #4, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #13). PR bodies were audited by
parallel subagents against .github/pull_request_template.md before
this regen.

PR #13 added CHANGELOG.md to .markdownlint-cli2.yaml ignores so the
generated long-line bullets no longer trip MD013 on the release CI run.

Squash-merge of release/v0.2.0 onto main becomes the v0.2.0 anchor.

## Summary

First public release of the `agent-native-cli` skill bundle
(`agentnative-skill` repo). Establishes the canonical
brettdavies cherry-pick release pattern (`feature → dev → release/* →
main`), ships the flat install layout consumers
will pull via plain `git clone`, and lands the consumer-side
update-check mechanism that replaces the deprecated
`install.json` SHA-pin advisory.

Cherry-picks 10 dev PRs (#1#4, #6#11, #13) onto `origin/main` plus
three direct-to-release-branch fixup commits
(`9f6e276`, `23e1a76` from the bootstrap window) and the curated
`chore(release): v0.2.0` commit. PR #5 (docs-only
public-flip follow-up) stayed on `dev` per the cherry-pick rule. The
original in-cherry-pick spec re-vendor
(`837ab9a` → `1640460`) was converted to a real PR (#10) so the v0.2.0
CHANGELOG carries a curated bullet for the
spec v0.2.0 → v0.3.0 bump.

PR-body template alignment was audited by parallel subagents before this
regeneration — empty stubs removed, missing
template sections added, internal-detail bullets moved out of `##
Changelog`, PR #11's nested sub-bullets flattened.

## Changelog

### Added

- Version-controlled GitHub repository rulesets for `main`, `dev`, and
release tags (`v*`). Apply procedure documented in
`.github/rulesets/README.md`. by @brettdavies in #1
- `AGENTS.md` (root) describing the bundle layout, lint commands, branch
model, and hard rules for agents. by @brettdavies in #2
- `RELEASES.md` (root) documenting a release procedure for this repo
(later rewritten in #3 to the canonical full `release/*` pattern).
- `.github/pull_request_template.md` (canonical PR template).
- `.github/workflows/guard-main-docs.yml` caller for the
`brettdavies/.github` reusable workflow that blocks `docs/plans/`,
`docs/solutions/`, `docs/brainstorms/`, `docs/reviews/` from PRs
targeting `main`.
- `cliff.toml` — git-cliff configuration mirroring sibling repos. by
@brettdavies in #3
- `scripts/generate-changelog.sh` — release-time CHANGELOG generator.
Reads PR-body `## Changelog` sections and prepends a curated, attributed
`[X.Y.Z]` section. Authoritative; never hand-edit `CHANGELOG.md`.
- `CONTRIBUTING.md` — how to propose changes, link to release procedure.
- `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md` + `bundle_proposal.md`
(replaces `principle_proposal.md` with corrected routing).
- Vendored `spec/` tree from `agentnative-spec` — `VERSION`,
`CHANGELOG.md`, `README.md`, and seven `principles/p*.md` files with
machine-readable `requirements[]` frontmatter. The skill points at this
canonical text instead of paraphrasing. by @brettdavies in #4
- `getting-started.md` covering three working agent loops (existing CLI
/ new Rust / other language), canonical `anc check --output json`
invocations, and a "where things live" map.
- `scripts/sync-spec.sh` for re-vendoring `agentnative-spec` on demand.
- `LICENSE-APACHE` — dual-license under MIT or Apache-2.0 (consumer's
choice). by @brettdavies in #6
- `bin/check-update` — gstack-style consumer-side update-check. Compares
the installed `VERSION` against the producer repo's `main`, emits
`UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <local> <remote>`, with cache TTL (60 min UP_TO_DATE
/ 720 min UPGRADE_AVAILABLE) and 3-level snooze (24h / 48h / 7d). State
directory: `$HOME/.cache/agent-native-cli/`. by @brettdavies in #8
- `SKILL.md` `## Update check` section documenting the script's
invocation and the `AskUserQuestion`-driven upgrade flow.

### Changed

- **BREAKING (install layout):** Skill content lives at the repo root
(`SKILL.md`, `bin/`, `spec/`, `references/`, `templates/`, `VERSION`).
Plain `git clone --depth 1` and `git pull --ff-only` are the
load-bearing install + update commands; no sparse-checkout magic, no
post-install scripts. by @brettdavies in #9 (final flat shape;
intermediate `bundle/` indirection from #3 reverted before launch).
- License changed from MIT-only to dual MIT or Apache-2.0 (no MIT
compatibility regression). by @brettdavies in #6
- Documentation now points at `https://anc.dev/skill` instead of
`https://anc.dev/install`. by @brettdavies in #7
- Spec content vendored under `spec/` re-vendored from
`agentnative-spec` v0.2.0 to v0.3.0. All 7 principles flip `status:
draft` → `status: active`; prose tightened across P1–P7 from upstream's
G11 red-team pass. No requirement IDs added/removed/renamed; no level
changes. by @brettdavies in #10
- `scripts/sync-spec.sh` no longer accepts `SPEC_REF`. The script always
vendors the latest `v*` tag, queried from `SPEC_REMOTE_URL` (default
`https://github.com/brettdavies/agentnative.git`) via `git ls-remote
--tags --sort=-version:refname` and shallow-cloned for extraction. On
any remote failure, falls back to the existing `SPEC_ROOT`-based logic
(default `$HOME/dev/agentnative-spec`). New env var `SPEC_REMOTE_URL`
overrides the remote; the temp clone is auto-cleaned on script exit via
trap. by @brettdavies in #11

### Fixed

- Harden `bin/check-update` against malformed local `VERSION` (apply
SemVer regex; malformed → silent exit) and against curl failure being
cached as UP_TO_DATE (skip cache write on network failure so the next
invocation retries). by @brettdavies in #8
- Align table pipes in `SKILL.md` and `getting-started.md` (markdownlint
MD060). by @brettdavies in #9

### Documentation

- `README.md` — License section rewritten to reflect dual licensing and
link both LICENSE files; tree row updated. by @brettdavies in #6
- `CONTRIBUTING.md` — License section rewritten: contributions are
dual-licensed at the consumer's option, no CLA, with an explicit pointer
to the Apache §3 patent grant.
- - `.markdownlint-cli2.yaml` excludes `CHANGELOG.md` from linting
(matches the existing exclusion for `spec/CHANGELOG.md`). Aligns lint
behavior with the `scripts/generate-changelog.sh` regen flow. by
@brettdavies in #13
- All public-facing markdown (`RELEASES.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `README.md`,
`spec/README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`) scrubbed of SHA-pin model
vocabulary: pipeline diagram's "site re-pins to commit SHA" step, the
post-merge "site re-pins via its own PR" step, the `protect-tags.json` /
`install endpoints` claims that tags are pinned to install endpoints,
and the spec-vendor "pinned ref" / "pinned `SPEC_REF`" / "current pin is
recorded" vocabulary across all docs. The new model is plain `git clone`
+ `bin/check-update` for staleness; nothing pins to anything cross-repo.
by @brettdavies in #11

### Removed

- `bundle/scripts/check-compliance.sh` and 24
`bundle/scripts/checks/check-*.sh` files (plus `_helpers.sh`). `anc
check --output json` is the canonical replacement. by @brettdavies in #4
- `bundle/references/principles-deep-dive.md` (419-line hand-typed
paraphrase of the spec; canonical text now lives at `spec/principles/`).
- `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/principle_proposal.md` (replaced by
`bundle_proposal.md` with corrected routing).
- `.shellcheckrc` (its three disables targeted the deleted bundle
scripts; producer scripts pass shellcheck unmodified).

## Type of Change

- [x] `chore`: Maintenance tasks (release engineering)
- [x] `BREAKING CHANGE`: Install layout changes (no v0.1.0 consumers
exist; see Breaking Changes section)

## Related Issues/Stories

- Architecture:
`docs/plans/2026-04-27-001-bootstrap-agentnative-skill-plan.md` —
bootstrap plan (task #15: launch-eve cherry-pick + admin-bypass decision
recorded `2026-04-28`).
- Architecture:
`docs/plans/2026-04-28-001-feat-update-check-mechanism-plan.md` —
update-check mechanism plan (drove PR #8 + the SHA-pin removal across PR
#11 / repo docs).
- Cross-repo: `agentnative-cli` — `scripts/sync-spec.sh` is the
documented mirror; lockstep modernization is being driven in a parallel
session.
- Cross-repo: `agentnative-site` — installs this skill via
`https://anc.dev/skill`; the `install.json` SHA-pin advisory is being
removed in that repo (separate PR there) per the update-check plan's
downstream coordination.

## Testing

- [x] Manual testing completed
- [x] All tests passing (CI: markdownlint + shellcheck on every
cherry-picked commit)

**Test Summary:**

- `markdownlint-cli2` clean across the cherry-pick chain (PostToolUse
hook ran on every edit; CI re-verified each PR).
- `shellcheck --severity=style scripts/sync-spec.sh bin/check-update`:
clean.
- `bash -n scripts/sync-spec.sh bin/check-update`: clean.
- `bin/check-update` 40-test battery (PR #8): 40 pass / 0 fail (unit +
integration + e2e + red-team).
- `scripts/sync-spec.sh` remote-success path verified live: queried
`https://github.com/brettdavies/agentnative.git`, resolved `v0.3.0`,
shallow-cloned, vendored 7 principles + VERSION + CHANGELOG.
Remote-fail-local-success path verified by setting bogus
`SPEC_REMOTE_URL` (warning + fallback to `$HOME/dev/agentnative-spec`).
Both-fail path verified with bogus URL + bogus `SPEC_ROOT` (hard error
with both printed).
- Vocabulary check: `rg` for `SHA-pin` / `commit SHA` / `source.commit`
/ `install.json` / `re-pin` / `SPEC_REF` / `pin` / `pinned` / `pinning`
across shipping content (excluding `docs/plans/`, license boilerplate,
changelogs, vendored `spec/principles/`): **zero** matches.
- PR-body template alignment: parallel audit subagents reported
`verified=true` for PRs #1#11.

## Files Modified

**Cherry-picked from dev (squash commits):**

- `8be19e6` — feat(bundle): consumer-side update-check mechanism (U1+U2)
[#8]
- `34b1da3` — refactor!: flatten bundle/* to repo root for plain
git-clone install [#9]
- `4461806` — chore(spec): re-vendor spec/ to v0.3.0 + RELEASES
spec-revendor section [#10]
- `fb50d18` — chore(sync-spec): drop SHA-pin claims, modernize to
remote-first vendoring [#11]
- `e67523e` — chore(lint): exclude CHANGELOG.md from markdownlint [#13]
(added during release prep to unblock MD013 on the rich generated
CHANGELOG)

**Direct-to-release-branch fixup commits (bootstrap window):**

- `9f6e276` — chore(rulesets): drop `.github/rulesets/README.md`
- `23e1a76` — docs(bundle): trim trailing platform comment on `cargo
install` line

**Curated release commit:**

- `d66d5bd` — chore(release): v0.2.0 (VERSION bump + regenerated
CHANGELOG.md)

**Plus PRs #1#7 cherry-picked earlier in the bootstrap window:**
rulesets (#1), AGENTS/PR-template/RELEASES scaffold (#2), bundle
restructure + cliff.toml (#3), spec vendoring + skill pivot (#4), dual
licensing (#6), `/skill` endpoint rename (#7).

## Breaking Changes

- [x] Breaking changes described below

**Install layout (PR #4 + PR #9):** the skill bundle's directory shape
went from a paraphrased pre-anc layout (v0.1.0) → `bundle/` subdirectory
(PR #3) → flat root (PR #9). The flat root is the load-bearing final
shape: `git clone --depth 1` lands `SKILL.md` at the install root where
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode auto-discover it.

**No real-world migration impact:** v0.1.0 has zero installed consumers
(the install endpoint at `https://anc.dev/skill` is gated by this very
release). The breaking-change classification is for SemVer hygiene, not
user-impacting.

**Bundle surface contract (PR #4):** the skill no longer ships
shell-script compliance checks (`bundle/scripts/check-compliance.sh` +
24 `check-*.sh` files). `anc check --output json` is the canonical
replacement; downstream tools that scraped the old shell scripts must
migrate to `anc`.

## Deployment Notes

- [x] Deployment steps documented below

**Pre-merge admin-bypass (one-time):** the `protect-main` ruleset
requires `markdownlint`, `shellcheck`, and `guard-docs /
check-forbidden-docs` as required status checks. The third comes from
`guard-main-docs.yml`, which only exists on `dev` (it's part of this
very release). For the FIRST release PR, GitHub evaluates `pull_request`
workflows from `main` (the base), so the guard-docs check cannot run.
Resolution: admin-bypass this single PR via the existing `bypass_actors`
on `protect-main` (`actor_type: RepositoryRole, actor_id: 5,
bypass_mode: always`). One-off; subsequent releases run cleanly. See
bootstrap plan §15 (decision recorded `2026-04-28`).

**Post-merge sequence (per RELEASES.md):**

1. Tag the squash commit on `main`:

   ```bash
   git checkout main && git pull
   git tag -a v0.2.0 -m "v0.2.0"
   git push origin v0.2.0
   ```

2. Create the GitHub Release with the v0.2.0 CHANGELOG section as notes:

   ```bash
   gh release create v0.2.0 --title "v0.2.0" \
--notes "$(awk '/^## \[0\.2\.0\]/{flag=1; next} /^## \[/{flag=0} flag'
CHANGELOG.md)"
   ```

3. Consumers detect the new release on their next `bin/check-update`
run; no site-side coordination step (the SHA-pin model is gone, per
#11).

Bootstrap plan (2026-04-27-001):

- Task #15 (v0.2.0 release) flipped to checked. Step 3a complete via PR
  #12 squash-merge to main 2026-04-29 ~16:38 PT (commit 2b10c84). Step
  3b (tag + GitHub Release) still pending; commands documented in PR
  #12 body's Deployment Notes.
- Added an "Executed scope (2026-04-29)" addendum capturing the three
  axes the launch-eve plan diverged on: (a) in-cherry-pick spec
  re-vendor was converted to a real PR (#10) so the v0.2.0 CHANGELOG
  carries a curated bullet for the spec bump; (b) two extra PRs added
  to launch-wave scope mid-execution — PR #11 (SHA-pin scrub +
  sync-spec.sh modernization) and PR #13 (CHANGELOG.md markdownlint
  exclusion); (c) the launch-eve admin-bypass concern was pessimistic
  — guard-docs check ran cleanly from PR head, no bypass needed.
- Final cherry-pick chain table appended for the historical record.

Update-check mechanism plan (2026-04-28-001) — first commit of this
plan to dev:

- U1 (bin/check-update script) flipped to done via PR #8.
- U2 (SKILL.md preamble + bundle-doc pin-vocab drop) flipped to done
  via PR #8; broader pin-vocab scrub across RELEASES/AGENTS/README/
  CONTRIBUTING/spec/README shipped via PR #11 (added mid-flight to
  launch-wave scope per U6).
- U6 (retroactive scrub) flipped to done for skill scope: PR #11
  handled the skill-side cleanup; bootstrap plan task #15 + central
  tracker (gstack file, separate edit) updated 2026-04-29. Site-side
  scrubs (U3-U5 + agentnative-site cross-repo-canonical-pointer.md)
  still pending in the user's parallel session.
- U3-U5 remain unchecked — agentnative-site scope, parallel session.

The central launch tracker
(~/.gstack/projects/brettdavies-agentnative/brett-dev-design-show-hn-
launch-inversion-20260427-144756.md) was updated in parallel to:

- Mark step 3a done (PR #12 squash 2b10c84) and step 3b pending.
- Drop SHA-pin re-pin claims from steps 4 + 5 + the launch-day
  timeline + the per-repo plan table + the dev-status block (per U6
  scrub instructions). Replaced with references to bin/check-update
  (PR #8) and a note that source.commit is being removed from
  skill.json in agentnative-site U3 (parallel session).
- Step 4 retains the install.json -> skill.json file-rename context
  from PR #44 since that's still in scope for the site cherry-pick.

That tracker is not a git-repo file, so the edits land directly on
disk; this commit only touches the two plan files in this repo.
