What's New
Workflow Compliance
- Mandatory execution enforcement on all 8 workflow commands — Claude can no longer bypass
/octo:embrace(or any/octo:*command) by deciding the task is "too simple" - Interactive next-steps after every workflow completion — all phase commands ask what to do next instead of ending silently
Security
- Anti-injection nonces — file-sourced content (memory, provider history, earned skills) wrapped in random hex boundary tokens to prevent prompt injection from untrusted external content
Multi-LLM Debate Integration
- Debate gates added to embrace, plan, review, security, and define commands
- Optional Claude + Codex + Gemini deliberation at workflow transition points
- All debate options clearly labeled as "Multi-LLM" so users know they're enabling cross-model deliberation
Session Intelligence
- Learnings layer —
octopus-learnings.mdcaptures per-session meta-reflection (workflow, phase, agent calls, errors, debate usage) - Feature gap analysis —
docs/FEATURE-GAP.mdliving document tracking 72 CC feature flags
Bug Fixes
- Reinstated
/octo:debateand/octo:researchcommands wrongly removed in v8.41.0 consolidation - Removed "Don't use for" sections that contradicted mandatory compliance blocks
