on GitHub

Added

• Council warns before dispatch when a task names a supported artifact path and
  no --context-file was supplied. Pass the file with --context-file <path>
  so every seat receives the same contents without relying on file tools. Set
  OCTOPUS_COUNCIL_REQUIRE_CONTEXT=1 to reject these runs with exit code 2.
  Bare filenames and prose without a supported path do not trigger the guard.
  The path-text check does not inspect file-tool access or copied-workspace
  visibility. It can warn or reject a tracked-file review that a CLI seat could
  perform. Supplying any context file suppresses it; the guard does not verify
  that every referenced file was supplied.
  See council evidence. (#1176)
• Optional council quote proximity through
  OCTOPUS_COUNCIL_CONTENT_MATCH_PROXIMITY_CHARS=N. A positive integer requires
  source-matching quotes to appear within N characters of a filename whose
  basename the bounded scan reached. Unset or 0 retains quote-only matching.
  Filename proximity is an additional evidence signal, not proof that a seat
  read that specific file. (#1177)

Fixed

• Package archives include the public documentation, including the council
  evidence guide, so installed copies can read the release guidance locally.
• Council source checks exclude injected agent-instruction files, including
  CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, their -OCTO.md variants, GEMINI.md, and Cursor
  and Copilot instruction basenames, including nested and mixed-case names.
  Echoing those instructions no longer counts as source evidence. (#1177)
• Optional quote proximity preserves valid evidence when a duplicate quote
  matches before the named source file. Repeated quotes and filename mentions
  stay within the existing response and scan budgets without a quadratic
  comparison. Project-local Python modules cannot execute during source checks.
  (#1177)
• Deliver runs the failure retrospective only when the development report
  records Quality Gate: FAILED. Successful runs and reports without a quality
  gate skip the unnecessary failure ceremony. (#1173)
