v0.9.2 promotion-ready polish

Public-facing sweep before wider promotion. No breaking changes.

Critical fixes from the Cursor dogfood simulation:

• SPEC-23 Protocol A-bis now includes an explicit constitution re-sync step after Article 10 promotion. Single most common silent-drift vector closed.
• SPEC-11d dna-delegate checks both .claude/skills/ and .cursor/scripts/ paths so the gate works under either adapter.

Public docs polish:

• Em-dash and en-dash scrub across all public-facing files (LICENSE kept verbatim as legal text)
• PROJECT_DNA.md moved to gitignored internal reference. Full absorption audit confirms all load-bearing mechanisms are now in kernel/ + template/ + docs/ with automated enforcement enhancing beyond the original manual checklists.

See CHANGELOG.md § 0.9.2 for the full absorption matrix.

v0.9.1 — remaining SPECs + GitHub polish

Session 8 continuation. See CHANGELOG.md §0.9.1 for the full detail.

What's in: SPEC-03 (SKIP mode), SPEC-04 (NEXT_STEPS post-unfold cue), SPEC-11b (agent auto-detect via .cursor/rules/ at kit root), SPEC-20 (dna-test-gate / dna-decompose heuristic fixes), SPEC-21 (Article 10 shared-code-glob migration doc), SPEC-02b (unfold-smoke.sh harness), SPEC-11c paper dogfood, SECURITY.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, issue/PR templates.

Migration from 0.9.0: no breaking changes. Run tools/refresh-target.sh --dry-run <target-path> to see what's optional to adopt.

0.9.0 — 2026-04-23

First publishable release. Field-tested through three dogfood feature builds on the worked example (team-project-scheduler-example). Team-lead-evaluation-ready; known gaps listed below so adopters have honest expectations.

Added

• Cursor adapter (adapters/cursor/payload/) — 12 .cursor/rules/*.mdc rule files + CURSOR.md primary instructions + 6 agent-agnostic run.sh scripts + copied blueprint + workflows. Role mapping 12/17 (parity with Claude Code adapter).
• npx tiged delivery path — 1-command install, ~260 KB payload, no git history:
  • npx tiged albertdobmeyer/agentic-dev-starter/template <target> (Claude Code)
  • npx tiged albertdobmeyer/agentic-dev-starter/adapters/cursor/payload <target> (Cursor)
• docs/SPEC_KIT_PINNING.md — pinned Spec-Kit version (v0.8.0), flag contract at the pinned version, bump procedure for future releases.
• Test-location convention in 03-EXECUTION-CONTEXT.skeleton.md (SPEC-22) documenting tests/scenario/scenario-N.test.ts as the canonical scenario-reference anchor location + vitest include-glob guidance.
• README hero — license / works-with / engine / status badges + quick-start install block above the fold.
• GitHub metadata — repository description updated, 12 topic tags added, homepage URL set to the worked example.
• Six merged features + three retrospectives on the worked example repo, tagged v1.1 with Phase 2 closed (CS-002 RESOLVED).

Changed

• Spec-Kit invocation pinned to v0.8.0 with literal SPECIFY_VERSION= variable (was: dynamic-latest via bash LATEST=$(git ls-remote ...) substitution that silently failed under PowerShell).
• Cursor integration flag corrected from --integration cursor (errors with "Unknown integration") to --integration cursor-agent (verified against Spec-Kit v0.8.0).
• README rewritten pain-first: 5 failure modes named (PR review burden, merge conflicts, drift, flattening, one-shot vibe-coding) with the specific kit mechanism per pain. Spec-Kit named as "the engine"; agent-token-meter correctly positioned as dashboard companion.
• CLAUDE.md Protocol A step 3 — now branches per adapter (template/ for Claude Code, adapters/cursor/payload/ for Cursor) + documents the tiged one-liner as primary path.
• Tone scrub — removed service-company branding ("AKD AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS") from user-facing docs. LICENSE copyright attribution kept (legitimate); legacy PROJECT_DNA.md reference kept (historical).

Fixed

• --integration cursor → cursor-agent (4 locations: CURSOR.md step 4, CURSOR.md prose, adapters/cursor/README.md role-mapping table, misc references).
• LATEST=$(git ls-remote ...) pattern that fails silently under pwsh (replaced with literal SPECIFY_VERSION).
• Orphan src/ui/TaskCard.tsx in worked example (React JSX with no React dependency, never compiled, removed for cleanliness).

Known gaps (deferred to next release)

• SPEC-11c — Cursor adapter has NOT been end-to-end dogfooded on a real Cursor feature. Payload was authored against the role contract and the Spec-Kit CLI surface was verified, but no feature has been built through the full 12-step workflow in Cursor. First Cursor adopters will be the validation cohort.
• SPEC-02b — test/unfold-smoke.sh harness not shipped. Manual smoke test during Spec-Kit bumps.
• SPEC-11b — Kit root CLAUDE.md Protocol A does not auto-detect Claude Code vs Cursor. Agent asks the human at step 3.
• SPEC-03 — SKIP entry mode for fast-path unfolds without the full interview.
• SPEC-20 / SPEC-21 — Ergonomic fixes from 2026-04-23 retrospective (test-gate heuristic tuning, convention-migration path for existing targets).

Verified against

• Spec-Kit v0.8.0 (specify --help; manual smoke: specify init . --integration claude and --integration cursor-agent both produce the expected .claude/ / .cursor/ + .specify/ trees).
• Three dogfood feature builds on the worked example (2026-04-22 [W], 2026-04-23 [D] server, 2026-04-23 [D] client).
• Bias-firewall pattern: Pass-2 fresh-context verifier caught assertion gap Pass-1 missed (004 retrospective).
• Article-5 scope-deferral pattern: dna-spec-validator CLEAR + ADVISORY-01 on 005's partial delivery (005 retrospective).
• Phase-closure via Construction Site resolution: CS-002 closed at 006 merge (006 retrospective).
