Priivacy-ai/spec-kitty v3.1.1 on GitHub

Semantic status-event merge driver — kitty-specs/**/status.events.jsonl now uses a Spec Kitty merge driver that unions append-only event logs by event_id, rejects conflicting payloads, and fails closed when merged WPs do not reach done in the canonical event log.
Forward-safe mission identity — newly created missions now mint a ULID mission_id at creation time, persist it to meta.json, and emit it through mission-created event payloads.
Release hygiene guardrail — release validation now enforces pyproject.toml and .kittify/metadata.yaml version sync before a cut can proceed.

spec-kitty init now produces a minimal file scaffold — init no longer initializes git, creates bootstrap commits, or seeds .agents/skills/. The generated next steps now point users at spec-kitty next plus spec-kitty agent action implement/review as the canonical workflow.
Planning-artifact WPs are first-class lane-owned items — the canonical planning lane is now lane-planning, and it resolves to the main repository checkout instead of an ad hoc special-case path.
Top-level implement is de-emphasized — onboarding and command docs now treat spec-kitty implement as internal infrastructure rather than the primary user-facing flow.

Merge conflict recovery for status.events.jsonl — append-only status events are no longer silently dropped during merge conflict resolution, and fresh repositories now self-heal the local git merge-driver config when running merge flows. Closes #574.
Planning/query consistency after PR #555 — mixed planning/code review-context resolution no longer crashes when a dependency resolves to the repo-root workspace, and fresh-run query mode now returns run_id: null instead of leaking a deleted temporary run id.
Dependency parser trailing-prose bleed — the final WP section is now bounded at non-WP ## headings so trailing prose does not get misread as dependency declarations.
Concurrent auth refresh race — stale 401 responses during token rotation no longer wipe valid shared credentials from active CLI sessions.
