• Architecture Enforcement — File size limits, function boundaries, import caps, and auto-split suggestions
• Telemetry & Feedback — Session telemetry, self-calibrating estimation, anomaly detection
• Workspace Orchestration — Multi-project workspaces, cross-repo contract detection, impact analysis
• Intelligence Pipeline — Usage snapshots, value extraction scoring, tamper detection
• Interactive Setup Wizard — Web-based project configuration with AI-guided setup
• Licensing & Security — Tiered feature gating, secret scanning, containment mode
• Quality Control — Browser-based QC with spec format, execution runtime, and gate enforcement
• Containment Mode — Tiered file access control via PreToolUse hooks
• Autonomous Sprint Execution — bpsai-pair engage runs full sprints: branch, tasks, PR, review, observations
• Machine Interface — --json envelope on all commands for programmatic consumption
• Health Check — bpsai-pair doctor validates setup with 9 checks and auto-repair
• Slash Commands — /make-it-so (intent to PR), /draft-backlog (engage-compatible backlogs)

What's New

v2.23.0 -- Engage Reliability + Hook Intelligence + Resume

• engage --resume: skip completed tasks on retry, no more re-running entire sprints
• Security agent fail-closed for ALL exceptions (not just OSError). Diff piped via temp file.
• Hook failure propagation: tasks no longer silently succeed when hooks fail
• On-disk dependency verification prevents stale in-memory state
• Human-gated tasks: requires: human in backlog frontmatter pauses engage
• --create-branch / --branch flags for branch lifecycle management
• Pre-engage containment audit warns about protected path conflicts
• TaskCompleted verifies meaningful output (empty commits flagged)
• StopFailure blocks next task and surfaces reason
• SubagentStop + TeammateIdle push status to A2A channels
• Pre-task budget heuristic warns before session limits hit
• Review skills use context: fork for agent isolation
• Forgiving backlog parser (em dash, double hyphen, single hyphen)
• UTF-8 encoding on all engage subprocess calls (Windows cp1252 fix)
• Full test suite CI on every push to dev/main
• 13,275+ tests passing

v2.22.1 -- Hotfix: License Activation Auth

• Machine activation, deactivation, and listing now send the required X-License-Key auth header

v2.22.0 -- Mythology Agent Identity + Vaivora Review Agent

• All agents use mythology names as identifiers: Nayru (reviewer), Laverna (security auditor), Bellona (pre-execution gatekeeper), Vaivora (cross-module review), Divona (QC)
• Vaivora wired as third review agent for large diffs (>500 lines or >10 files)
• Review pipeline refactored: engage, branch, and PR review use shared dispatch with mythology display names
• REVIEW intent type: "review these PRs" routes to the review skill instead of generic reasoning
• Laverna upgraded to Opus model for complete security findings
• Engage auto-created PRs now target dev branch when dev exists
• 12,844+ tests passing

v2.21.5 -- Branch Enforcement + Intent Merge Strategy

• Branch enforcement: source code on main/dev is blocked, docs/state allowed through
• Intent-driven merge strategy: squash vs merge based on work intent and branch pattern
• PR labels (merge:squash, merge:merge) carry strategy to merge time
• Auto-upgrade stages .paircoder/ files to prevent dirty tree in engage
• Stale containment stash cleanup in engage pre-flight
• 12,500+ tests passing

v2.21.4 -- Review Command + Targeted Tests + Engage Fixes

• bpsai-pair review pr/branch/task: Python-enforced review dispatch with agent scaling
• Intent sub-classification routes review requests to the right variant
• Engage tasks run targeted tests (seconds) instead of full suite (minutes)
• Engage executor no longer crashes on lifecycle hook failures
• Engage commits exclude .paircoder/ bookkeeping files (no more merge conflicts)
• Agent mythology display names in review dispatch and output
• Error-as-approval bug fixed: failed reviews no longer pass as approvals
• 12,500+ tests passing

v2.21.3 -- Release Hardening + Engage Review Loop

• Version downgrade protection: CLI no longer overwrites config with older versions
• bpsai-pair release validate-versions: pre-tag gate with --fix auto-repair
• bpsai-pair fleet check: workspace version compliance with --upgrade and --json
• Per-task review loop in autonomous sprints with automatic correction
• Pre-PR security gate blocks pull requests with critical findings
• Agent upgrade preserves custom fields (memory, maxTurns, display names)
• support open shows actual error details instead of generic messages
• 12,500+ tests passing

v2.21.1 -- Remote Session Enforcement

• SessionStart hook auto-installs PairCoder in remote sessions
• API error surfacing across all license, support, and subscription commands

v2.21.0 -- Enforcement + Observability

• Intent recognition and approval gate for autonomous dispatch
• Operational signals: uncommitted code, abandoned sessions, gate blocks
• Protected branch guard: engage refuses to run on main/dev

v2.20.0 -- Engage Pipeline

• bpsai-pair engage runs full sprints autonomously (branch, tasks, PR, review)
• /make-it-so command: intent to shipped PR in one command
• bpsai-pair doctor with 9 health checks and --fix auto-repair
