GanyuanRan/Aegis v2.6.3 on GitHub

v2.6.3 (2026-08-01)

Made the current branch and workspace the default for ordinary coding tasks;
complexity, planning, TDD, subagents, or a main / master branch name no
longer justify a branch or worktree by themselves.
Added a pre-write TaskStartSnapshot, coordinator-only Git mutation
ownership, task-owned scoped staging, one coherent verified local commit,
and explicit task-clean versus repository-clean readback.
Limited branches to genuinely independent histories and worktrees to
concurrent checkout or blocking unrelated dirty state; paired temporary
resources with creator-owned, evidence-led cleanup.

Replaced single hard size ceilings with warning targets and larger hard
ceilings for high-frequency skills, plus route-bundle budgets for debugging,
plan execution, and long-task flows.
Made capability gates precede size gates so required routing, semantic slots,
stop signals, owner rules, and discoverable reference triggers cannot be
deleted merely to satisfy a byte limit.
Restored the authority fast path, explicit passive CONTEXT-MAP.md /
CONTEXT.md lookup, conditional subagent execution, strict-TDD authorization
markers, authority-before-worktree placement, and complete
commit-through-handoff stop signals.

Added deterministic budget-band tests, route-bundle checks, semantic-context
assertions, worktree ordering checks, TDD-off contract coverage, and complete
integration-stop assertions.
Made the Kimi Code deterministic harness select python3, py -3, or
python by verified availability, and made the repository test package
explicit so Windows environments cannot resolve an unrelated package named
tests.
Verified the repaired behavior with the same read-only gpt-5.6-sol /
xhigh pressure scenarios before and after the change; all six repaired
decisions are now explicit in the owning skills.
Reviewed all four manually copied global user-rule projections. No manual
re-copy is required because this release changes task-specific skill behavior
without changing profile-owned activation, TDD-default, authority-priority,
or base completion-evidence semantics.

The formal release gate remains
bash tests/e2e/run-all.sh --full --host-profile fast; this release is
published only after that gate and the version audit pass.
Bumped all declared package and host manifest versions from 2.6.0 to
2.6.3 through scripts/bump-version.sh.
This release remains Aegis Method Pack (runtime-ready) and does not add
authoritative GateDecision, PolicySnapshot, runtime authority, or
completion authority.
