v1.5.5 (2026-05-23)
Retired Browser Visual Companion
- Removed the inherited browser-based visual companion from the
brainstorming
workflow. Aegis no longer offers to open a local browser URL for mockups,
diagrams, or visual option selection during brainstorming. - Deleted the companion guide, local server scripts, frame/helper assets, and
tests/brainstorm-server/lifecycle/protocol suite. - Kept brainstorming focused on method-pack design discipline: context intake,
clarifying questions, options, design/spec approval, and handoff to
writing-plans.
Maintenance Guardrails
- Removed the retired
brainstorm-serverversion-audit exclusion and updated
the Codex plugin sync comment so maintenance scripts no longer refer to the
deleted companion surface. - Added a workflow-quality regression check that prevents
brainstormingfrom
reintroducing browser visual companion prompts.
