This release consolidates everything shipped since v2.2.1, including the work that was version-bumped as v2.2.2 in source but never tagged on GitHub.

Features

  • Phase-aware recovery after /compact — Nelson is now resumable at every phase boundary. The recovery briefing also surfaces fleet-status staleness so a relieving admiral can spot a stale handoff.
  • Estimate phase split into subagents (#111, #114) — Q2–Q3 and Q4–Q7 now run as separate Estimate subagents in SKILL.md Step 2, with split-dispatch and pulling-the-oar wiring. Model-selection guidance carves the Estimate phase out from generic cost-savings advice.
  • pulling-the-oar standing order (#111) — codifies the anti-pattern where the admiral does work that should be delegated.
  • GitHub star prompt at Stand Down (#117) — one-time prompt asking users to star the repo, with hardened preflight checks.
  • Restored TaskCreate captain-misuse enforcement via an admiral session marker (#119), replacing the mode-check hook removed in #112. The session marker uses a fail-open posture so a missing or unreadable marker never blocks legitimate work.
  • Fleet-status freshness — new event constants and a staleness threshold; cmd_event now updates fleet-status for state-changing events (#114).

Fixes

  • Squadron shape validation in form — the composite form command used to crash with a TypeError when admiral, red_cell, or a captain entry in plan-input.json was a bare string instead of an object, after tasks had already been registered. _validate_plan_json now checks the squadron sub-document fully and emits a clear error with an example of the expected shape.
  • Mission lookup picks the most recent active mission (#114) — older active markers no longer shadow a newer mission.
  • Dedupe active-mission markers by resolved path — symlink and trailing-slash variants of the same path no longer produce duplicate markers.
  • Removed contradictory TaskCreate mode-check hook (#112) — the hook fought against the documented admiral-uses-TaskCreate exception.

Refactors & Docs

  • Threaded the event index from _append_event and deduped progress arithmetic.
  • README refreshed for accuracy; redundancy trimmed.
  • Documented fleet-status freshness fields and the staleness warning.
