v1.9.4 (2026-05-30)
Semantic Slots and Natural Surface
- Added
Semantic Slots and Natural Surfaceto the workflow quality baseline so
Aegis can preserve governance forcing functions without making every
user-facing response look like an internal process log. - Clarified that required governance checks may appear as localized headings,
natural prose, or compact cards when the required slots remain explicit and
auditable. - Kept fixed skill traces, used-skill lists, and stage handoff logs reserved
for audit, debug, release, long-task review, or explicit user request.
Verification Evidence Slots
- Updated
verification-before-completionfrom a rigidEvidence Cardshape to
required evidence semantic slots: evidence action, result, covered scope,
uncovered scope, residual risk, and confidence grade. - Added
Governance Receiptas the compact closeout form for non-trivial
Aegis-shaped work while preserving the boundary that method-pack evidence does
not grant completion authority. - Clarified that natural completion notes are valid only when they preserve the
required evidence, residual-risk, confidence, retirement, baseline, and
architecture fields.
Workflow Quality Matrix Coverage
- Added representative matrix samples for natural governance transitions and
natural completion notes that still expose verification evidence, covered and
uncovered scope, residual risk, and confidence. - Updated verification-related expected output shapes from legacy
evidence-cardwording to semantic evidence slot wording. - Extended the matrix validator to require the new semantic-slot samples,
contract fields, output shapes, and verification signals.
Contract Test Updates
- Updated
workflow-quality-check.shto lock the new semantic-slot baseline,
verification skill contract, natural-surface allowance, and governance receipt
expectations. - Updated
governance-completion-contract-check.shto check residual-risk
semantics instead of only a fixed English field label. - Preserved owner separation:
using-aegisremains the routing hot path and
does not absorb the verification output contract.
Version
- Bumped all declared plugin, marketplace, package, and extension manifests to
1.9.4.
