v3.21.0

Added

• Survey step upgraded to the mapper 0.14 flow-docs engine: ask . <verb> <arg> --json for
  low-token structured queries during triage (impact feeds dependency widening, tests-for
  picks affected tests, callers aids review), sync . --check + drift . --check as
  docs-staleness/spec-drift gates in the DoD pass, and flows/survey/business/history/diff
  as the producers for documentation tasks. doctor's mapper capability probe now checks the full
  inspect/handoff/ask/sync/drift surface.
• The survey step also exercises the mapper 0.13 surface: simplicio-mapper inspect . --json
  is the survey's own evidence gate and simplicio-mapper handoff . --json feeds the goal with
  the compact context-pack instead of re-reading the tree.

Changed

• Dependency floors raised to the current releases of the two bound operators:
  simplicio-mapper>=0.14.0 and simplicio-cli>=0.9.1 in pyproject.toml, so a fresh
  pip install simplicio-loop resolves the operators this release was verified against.

Verification

• python3 scripts/check.py: claims-audit PASS (7/7); 163/164 tests pass. The 1 failure
  (test_bound_operator_missing_blocks_when_simplicio_loop_shipped) is a pre-existing local
  environment artifact (bound operators are installed on PATH on the build machine, which
  breaks the test's "never installed" assumption) — not caused by this release.

Full diff: v3.20.0...v3.21.0

v3.20.0

[3.20.0] — 2026-07-01

Added

• Cross-agent wiki now surfaces blockers and next actions (scripts/cross_agent_wiki.py +
  plugin/simplicio_loop/_bundle mirrors). Watcher verification output was already rendered in
  the wiki; this extends the same render path to the blocker list and the recommended next-action
  set so a handoff reader sees what is stuck and what to try next, not just pass/fail status.
• End-to-end test of the loop driver (plugin/tests/test_loop_e2e.py + _selfrun.py,
  mirrored under simplicio_loop/_bundle) covering hooks/loop_stop.py's evidence-gated stop,
  anti-false-done (a bare <promise> is ignored without evidence), and anchor-gate exit paths.
• .claude/skills/simplicio-loop/SKILL.md (+ plugin mirror) documents the spindle/latch
  cross-agent handoff pattern.

Fixed

• Spindle/latch state-file mismatch between handoff.py and loop_stop.py. loop_stop.py
  had renamed SPINDLE_STATE to spindle_state.json with no compat shim, silently breaking the
  cross-agent handoff/latch feature — spindle_latched() and spindle_active() failed open to
  False when the expected file was missing. scripts/handoff.py now points SPINDLE_STATE at
  spindle_state.json, keeps a LEGACY_SPINDLE_STATE constant for the old spindle.json name, and
  _read_spindle() tries the new filename first before falling back to the legacy one — mirroring
  the existing DONE_FLAG/LEGACY_DONE_FLAG backward-compat pattern in hooks/loop_stop.py.

v3.18.1

Fixed

• references/orchestration.md Step 3c still said "TRIVIAL/SMALL skip adversarial review" — a
  leftover contradiction from before v3.17.0's 6-agent floor, found by an independent audit. Now
  consistent: the review fan-out runs on every item; only Rubric C's heaviest sub-checks stay
  tier/surface-scoped.
• Deleted .agents/skills/, an untracked gitignored local mirror that was a week stale.

Verification: python3 scripts/check.py — claims-audit 5/5, 44 tests passed.

v3.18.0

Changed

• Native simplicio-runtime bind is now REQUIRED, not optional, on 8 of the 11 supported
  runtimes (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Antigravity, Kiro, OpenCode, Hermes). The
  installer (ensure_runtime_bind()) now applies the bind unconditionally for these hosts
  instead of printing a suggestion: simplicio install --global (Claude/Codex/Cursor/VS
  Code/Kiro in one pass), fixed OpenCode auto-registration, and a simplicio doctor --json
  health check for Hermes/Antigravity. Every generated entry file states the requirement inline.
• Fixed a broken MCP invocation referenced across 5 adapter READMEs and OpenCode's
  registration code — simplicio-cli mcp register --client <x> isn't a real registration path;
  the correct command is simplicio install --global / simplicio serve --mcp --stdio. Also
  fixed the args order (["mcp","serve"] → ["serve","--mcp","--stdio"]) in 4 README snippets.
• Gemini, Aider, and OpenClaw are unaffected — bind stays optional/native-by-design there.

Verification: python3 scripts/check.py — claims-audit 5/5, 44 tests passed.

v3.17.0

Changed

• Minimum 6-agent orchestration floor (simplicio-tasks/simplicio-review). Removed the
  solo/inline fast-path and the TRIVIAL/SMALL single-self-review shortcut. Every item, regardless
  of size, now runs a 6-role floor: orient+plan, implement, 3 parallel adversarial review rubrics
  (security/correctness, quality, does-it-reproduce — simplicio-review), and an independent
  blast-radius reviewer that re-checks impact_audit.json/flow_audit.json instead of trusting
  the implementer's self-reported scope. The Step 3 auto-scaling formula gained a max(6, ...)
  floor; when disk is too tight for 6 worktrees, the floor still runs under isolation=shared
  instead of dropping below 6. Rubric C (does-it-reproduce) is no longer gated to LARGE/CRITICAL —
  it runs always; only its heaviest sub-checks (web/flow evidence) stay scoped to diffs that touch
  that surface.

Verification: python3 scripts/check.py — claims-audit 5/5, 44 tests passed.

v3.16.0

Added

• Cross-agent handoff on incomplete stop (hooks/loop_stop.py). A budget-halted or
  iteration-cap stop now writes .orchestrator/loop/HANDOFF.md before clearing the scratchpad —
  the frozen goal/acceptance criteria from task_anchor.py, the last attempts from
  loop_journal.py, and concrete resume steps. Previously these stops deleted the scratchpad with
  nothing durable left for a different agent/runtime to pick the task back up cold; a successful
  (promise-fulfilled) stop is unaffected and still needs no handoff.

Verification: python3 scripts/check.py — claims-audit 5/5, 44 tests passed.

v3.15.0

Added

• add scripts/impact_audit.py to force scope reflection across callers, local dependencies, and related tests before editing
• add scripts/flow_audit.py to map UI actions, frontend calls, backend endpoints, and service calls in mixed front/back/service workspaces

Changed

• require impact-audit and flow-audit evidence in simplicio-tasks, simplicio-loop, and simplicio-review
• bump simplicio-loop to 3.15.0 and align the npm wrapper with the new PyPI version

v3.14.1

Changed

• require simplicio-mapper>=0.11.0 and simplicio-cli>=0.7.1 in package metadata
• make fresh installs deterministic before the loop preflight auto-update runs

Verification

• python3 scripts/check.py
• python3 -m build
• python3 -m twine check dist/*

v3.14.0 — auto-update operators at preflight

Changed

• The loop preflight now auto-updates the operators to their latest release. Before iteration 1, simplicio-loop runs python3 -m pip install -qU simplicio-mapper simplicio-cli (PEP-668 --user fallback) so every run uses the newest mapper/dev-cli — no manual re-install needed to pick up a new simplicio-mapper. Fail-open and offline-safe; runs once per preflight, not per turn.

Verification: python3 scripts/check.py — claims-audit 5/5, 35 tests passed.
