Release scope
This patch release contains the post-0.8.0 audit remediation and release hardening work documented in CHANGELOG.md.
- REST organization-analysis response serialization is covered by the corrected response contract.
- Diagnostic failures use meaningful non-zero exit semantics.
- Repository-QA evidence retains concrete dependency/dependent paths.
- Engineering-plan mutation scope is bounded by explicit planned paths.
- Validation failures use controlled CLI errors rather than stack traces.
- Architecture drift reports deterministic dependency-edge changes.
Release engineering
- Gradle and application version contracts were aligned to
0.8.1.
- Linux x64, Windows x64, macOS x64, and macOS ARM64 packaging was produced.
- Bundled Java 21 runtime verification was required for packaged artifacts.
- SHA-256 checksums were generated by the release workflow.
- The exact release candidate passed the applicable release certification before publication.
Certification record
The published release was gated by the repository’s release process, including:
- DCO

- CLI audit
- MCP protocol/gateway audit
- REST audit
- adversarial/safety contract audit
- onboarding E2E
- Phase 1 regression
- Phase 4 regression
- live-repository gate
- live output-quality audit
- Spring Petclinic live-project validation
- RuneLite live-project validation
- Linux x64 artifact build + bundled-runtime smoke
- Windows x64 artifact build + bundled-runtime smoke
- macOS x64 artifact build + bundled-runtime smoke
- macOS ARM64 artifact build + bundled-runtime smoke
- generated artifact checksums
Historical release rule
The v0.8.1 tag and published artifacts are immutable historical release material. Do not rewrite this release to contain the later 0.8.2 remediation. The next release must use a new version and a newly certified commit.
The v0.8.0 release record remains in RELEASE_READINESS_0.8.0.md and must not be rewritten.
