What shipped, version by version.

0.24.3

Patch release for task-path safety:

• Restricted agentloop verify --task to Markdown task contracts inside the configured task directory
• Restricted agentloop create-task --out to Markdown files inside the configured task directory
• Refused agentloop init --dry-run in the user's home directory unless --force is passed, preventing accidental home-directory project detection
• Added regression coverage for task path reads, task output writes, and home-directory dry-run safety

0.24.2

Patch release for safer first-run initialization:

• Bounded fallback project detection so agentloop init --dry-run returns quickly in large metadata-free directories such as a home folder
• Added a home-directory guard so agentloop init refuses to write AgentLoopKit files into the user's home directory unless --force is passed
• Added agentloop init --force for the rare case where a user intentionally wants to initialize the current home directory
• Added regression coverage for bounded fallback detection and home-directory init safety
• Clarified README and getting-started docs to run init from the target repository root

0.24.1

Patch release for first-run project detection:

• Fixed agentloop init crashing when project detection encounters unreadable directories such as macOS .Trash
• Changed recursive project file discovery to skip directories it cannot read instead of aborting the command
• Added regression coverage for unreadable directories during project detection

0.24.0

npm-status release. This is the normal next minor release after v0.23.0; npm later caught up to the current release line after maintainer authentication and trusted publishing were configured:

• Added agentloop npm-status for read-only npm registry catch-up checks
• Added agentloop npm-status --json for release scripts and handoff evidence
• Added agentloop npm-status --expect-current for post-publish smoke checks that fail until npm latest matches local package metadata
• Added agentloop npm-status --registry-json <path> so CI and release handoffs can replay captured npm view output without a network call
• Compared local package.json metadata with npm view <package> version versions --json output
• Documented npm-status usage across README, publishing docs, release-status docs, release notes, generated harness guidance, and AgentLoopKit's own repo harness
• Kept the command read-only: no package publishing, tag creation, GitHub release creation, token reads, .env reads, uploads, or package metadata mutation

0.23.0

PowerShell completion release candidate. npm still serves 0.1.1 until account authentication or trusted publishing is repaired. This is the normal next minor release after v0.22.0; after npm catches up to the current release line, future releases should use ordinary sequential semver:

• Added agentloop completion powershell to print a static PowerShell Register-ArgumentCompleter script
• Added agentloop completion pwsh as an alias for PowerShell users
• Included top-level commands, task subcommands, policy subcommands, task statuses, agent names, and shell names in PowerShell completion output
• Kept completion generation stdout-only with no shell profile mutation, telemetry, network calls, or runtime dependency
• Updated README and getting-started docs so shell-completion guidance includes PowerShell

0.22.0

Task-linked verification and README evidence release candidate. npm still serves 0.1.1 until account authentication or trusted publishing is repaired. This is the normal next minor release after v0.21.0; after npm catches up to the current release line, future releases should use ordinary sequential semver:

• Added a Failure Summary section to failed verification reports with failed command, exit code, and final useful output lines
• Kept full command output excerpts in verification reports; the new summary does not diagnose root cause or parse tool-specific logs
• Added task context to verification reports generated with agentloop verify --task <path>
• Guarded agentloop verify --task so .env-style paths are reported as unavailable instead of read as task contracts
• Refreshed README Playwright screenshots and VHS terminal demo around task-linked verification evidence

0.21.0

Next-action and release-safety release candidate. npm still serves 0.1.1 until account authentication or trusted publishing is repaired. This is the normal next minor release after v0.20.0; after npm catches up to the current release line, future releases should use ordinary sequential semver:

• Added agentloop next for a read-only next-action view backed by the existing status engine
• Added agentloop next --json for agents and scripts that need the next command, reason, active task, latest verification report, and dirty-state context
• Updated status and next-action logic so a verification report older than an active in-progress task no longer counts as current task evidence
• Added a prepublish metadata guard that fails while CHANGELOG.md has unreleased entries
• Added agentloop release-notes --release-version <version> so release drafts can override package metadata without colliding with the CLI's global --version flag
• Documented that next does not run verification commands, mutate task state, call an LLM, make network requests, or read .env contents

0.20.0

Release-note handoff release candidate. npm still serves 0.1.1 until account authentication or trusted publishing is repaired. Because GitHub releases already exist from v0.2.0 through v0.19.0, npm should catch up to this current release line once and then return to normal sequential semver:

• Added agentloop release-notes for deterministic local release-note drafts
• Added agentloop release-notes --json for scripts and CI logs
• Added agentloop release-notes --write to write .agentloop/handoffs/YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-release-notes.md
• Included package metadata, git range, changelog section, commits, changed files, working tree status, active task, latest verification report, and latest CI summary when available
• Kept release-note generation local and read-only unless --write is passed: no tag creation, package publishing, provider API calls, token reads, uploads, or changelog rewrites
• Documented the npm catch-up policy so the version jump from 0.1.1 to the current GitHub line is a one-time recovery path, not the ongoing release strategy
• Recorded the release-triggered v0.20.0 Publish workflow failure at npm authorization

0.19.0

CI summary and contributor-onboarding GitHub release. npm publish is pending account authentication or trusted-publishing repair. npm may jump from 0.1.1 to this current release because the intermediate versions were GitHub/source release candidates while npm publishing was blocked:

• Linked contributor playbook guidance from README and CONTRIBUTING.md
• Added agentloop ci-summary for local CI provenance and AgentLoop evidence summaries
• Added agentloop ci-summary --json for scripts and CI logs
• Added agentloop ci-summary --write to write .agentloop/reports/YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ci-summary.md
• Kept CI summaries read-only unless --write is passed: no provider API calls, secret reads, telemetry, uploads, or verification command execution
• Updated verification-report lookup so status, summaries, gates, reports, and badges ignore newer CI summary artifacts
• Recorded the release-triggered v0.19.0 Publish workflow failure at npm authorization

0.18.1

• Added policy customization workflow docs and generated harness guidance for policy status results
• Added status-specific maintainer actions for current, modified, missing, and extra policy files

• Recorded the local exact-tarball 0.18.0 npm publish attempt that failed with authorization E404

0.17.0

Policy inspection and template-provenance release candidate. npm publish is pending browser/OTP authentication or trusted-publishing repair:
