v1.9.0 (2026-05-30)

Baseline Role Alignment

• Added Baseline Role Alignment as the shared workflow quality lens for
  separating product / requirement truth from architecture / runtime boundary
  truth.
• Defined Product / Requirement Baseline for accepted problem, success
  evidence, non-goals, workflow constraints, and approved requirement/spec
  intent.
• Defined Architecture / Runtime Boundary Baseline for canonical owner,
  contract, source-of-truth boundary, dependency direction, compatibility,
  runtime-ready/method-pack boundary, and retirement state.

Unified Defect / Drift Vocabulary

• Promoted Design Defect and Implementation Drift as the primary result
  vocabulary across process baseline, workflow quality baseline, brainstorming,
  completion verification, requesting-code-review, and code-reviewer templates.
• Demoted Architecture Defect and Architecture Drift to compatibility
  aliases for architecture-scoped Design Defect and architecture-scoped
  Implementation Drift.
• Updated review prompts and verification contracts so legacy phrases map back
  to the shared vocabulary instead of becoming a second result line.

Aegis Invocation Visibility

• Added a natural Aegis closeout pattern for non-trivial tasks, so agents can
  briefly name the boundary or quality risk Aegis held steady without emitting
  stiff Used skills / Stage handoffs cards by default.
• Preserved the method-pack authority boundary: invocation visibility remains
  advisory workflow discipline and does not grant completion authority,
  GateDecision, or PolicySnapshot.
• Clarified user-language output: user-facing labels and prose follow the
  user's language, while exact commands, paths, identifiers, enum values, and
  necessary Aegis identifiers remain stable.

Workflow Quality Harness Entropy Reduction

• Kept tests/e2e/workflow-quality-check.sh as the stable shell entrypoint
  while extracting heavy workflow quality matrix validation into
  tests/helpers/validate_workflow_quality_matrix.py.
• Reduced mixed ownership in the shell harness: doc/skill contract lint stays
  in the shell entrypoint, while scenario matrix validation now has a dedicated
  Python helper.
• Added release-audit hygiene so local ignored incubator content does not create
  false version-drift reports during version bumps.

Version

• Bumped all declared plugin, marketplace, package, and extension manifests to
  1.9.0.
