GanyuanRan/Aegis v2.4.4

Aegis v2.4.4

on GitHub

Grilling Mode

• Added a focused Grilling Mode inside brainstorming for decision interviews
  triggered by direct phrases such as grill me, grill this plan, 审问我,
  盘问我, and 拷问我.
• Added a one-time opening card, recommendation and trade-off framing, and one
  decision question per turn by default. Fast grilling can batch at most three
  independent decision questions.
• Kept grilling intentionally separate from implementation: it does not write
  plans, docs, or code, and PR/diff/current-code review still routes to the
  independent code-review workflow.
• Expanded trigger-health fixtures and regression checks for direct, soft,
  fast, Chinese-language, and negative grilling scenarios.

TDD Off-Mode Enforcement

• Hardened the default off mode so risk wording alone cannot automatically
  route into or load strict TDD.
• Aligned using-aegis, systematic debugging, writing plans,
  subagent-driven development, and skill authoring with the same rule:
  explicit strict TDD, test-first, TDD Route: strict, or an enabled
  automatic mode is required for RED / GREEN routing.
• Preserved proportional regression tests and
  verification-before-completion when automatic TDD is off.
• Added policy and workflow-quality regression coverage that prevents owner
  workflows from reintroducing mandatory test-first behavior.

Fast-Track Playbooks And Workspace Guidance

• Added English and Chinese user-facing quick-start guides:
  Aegis Fast-Track Playbook and Aegis 速通秘籍.
• Reworked the root README entrypoints around Aegis's lightweight operating
  model, natural trigger phrases, and progressive workflow depth.
• Highlighted five engineering moats: seven-layer root-cause analysis,
  first-principles decision review, the anti-entropy code-change loop,
  workspace-backed long-task continuity, and evidence-based closeout.
• Documented how the project-local docs/aegis/ workspace initializes intent,
  baseline, checkpoint, evidence, drift, resume, proof-bundle, and optional ADR
  records without turning method-pack artifacts into project authority.
• Added a category-level comparison with standalone skill packs while avoiding
  fixed cost, time, token, or diff-size claims across arbitrary projects.

Verification

• Fresh checks passed:
  bash scripts/bump-version.sh 2.4.4,
  bash scripts/bump-version.sh --check,
  bash scripts/bump-version.sh --audit,
  bash tests/e2e/workflow-quality-check.sh,
  bash tests/e2e/trigger-health-check.sh,
  bash tests/e2e/run-all.sh --full --host-profile fast, and
  git diff --check.
• The final full/fast run passed all four suites. Layer 1 passed 39/39,
  including representative Codex automatic and explicit skill-triggering
  smoke, OpenCode base coverage, and Codex plugin-sync regression.
• The first full/fast attempt was environment-blocked because the current
  Codex Desktop install provides codex.exe but not codex.cmd. Re-running
  with CODEX_CMD pointed at the working codex.exe passed both targeted
  Codex smoke tests and the complete release gate; no Aegis routing regression
  was found.

Release Surface

• Bumped all declared package and host manifest versions directly from
  2.4.1 to 2.4.4; no v2.4.2 or v2.4.3 tags are created by this release.
• This release remains Aegis Method Pack (runtime-ready), preserves
  multi-host plugin-installable distribution, and does not add authoritative
  GateDecision, PolicySnapshot, or completion authority.
