Highlights
Discipline Mode (/octo:discipline on) — 8 auto-invoke gates that enforce development and knowledge work rigor. Brainstorm before coding, evidence before claims, structured decisions instead of prose. Off by default, persists across sessions.
New Platform Support — Cursor IDE (.cursor-plugin/plugin.json) and OpenCode CLI (.opencode/INSTALL.md). Codex CLI compatibility layer with host detection and graceful degradation.
Two-Stage Review — flow-develop now runs spec compliance first, code quality second, E2E third — all in parallel. Catches building the wrong thing AND building the right thing badly.
New Skills — skill-verification-gate (evidence before claims), skill-review-response (handle feedback without blind agreement).
