Priivacy-ai/spec-kitty v0.15.2

on GitHub

🐛 Fixed

• Unborn branch misdetected as detached HEAD: get_current_branch() now uses git branch --show-current (Git 2.22+) with fallback to git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD for older Git. Correctly returns the branch name on fresh repos with no commits, fixing false "Not in a git repository" errors during spec-kitty init.
• Windows subprocess decode crash: Added encoding="utf-8", errors="replace" to all 113 subprocess.run(text=True) calls across 31 files. Prevents UnicodeDecodeError on Windows systems with non-UTF-8 locale settings.
• Pre-commit hook blocks commits when Python unavailable: Expanded interpreter detection to try python3, python, and py (Windows launcher) with a smoke test. Removed set -e so non-encoding Python failures (e.g. filenames with special characters) warn-and-skip instead of blocking commits. Distinguishes Python execution failure from actual encoding errors via distinct exit codes.
• Init reports "project ready" even when git init failed: init now raises RuntimeError after tracker.error() when init_git_repo() returns False, triggering the failure panel and non-zero exit instead of falsely reporting success.
• PowerShell equivalents in implement templates: Added PowerShell syntax examples (in collapsible <details> blocks) after bash code blocks in implement templates for all 3 missions (software-dev, research, documentation).

🔧 Changed

• Removed 7 duplicate inline subprocess.run(["git", "rev-parse", "--abbrev-ref", "HEAD"]) calls in feature.py, tasks.py, and workflow.py, replacing them with the centralized get_current_branch() helper.
• Updated all callers that checked == "HEAD" to check is None instead, since git branch --show-current never returns the literal string "HEAD".
