Closes the user's ask: versioning + a changelog generated on merging
to main, building on the just-mandated Conventional Commits substrate
(CLAUDE.md Key Conventions).
Architecture: ADR-021. Cookbook: docs/guides/releasing.md.
Initial state — six tracked packages at v0.1.0:
- . -> template-vertical (tag: template-v...)
- packages/auth -> @repo/auth (tag: auth-v...)
- packages/blog -> @repo/blog (tag: blog-v...)
- packages/media -> @repo/media (tag: media-v...)
- packages/marketing-pages -> @repo/marketing-pages (tag: marketing-pages-v...)
- packages/navigation -> @repo/navigation (tag: navigation-v...)
Core packages, tooling, and apps are NOT independently versioned
(ADR-021 rationale: core bumps cascade; apps aren't consumables;
surfacing them would create noise without information).
Configuration:
- release-please-config.json - 6 tracked packages, hybrid scope,
pre-1.0 conservative bump policy
(feat: -> patch, feat!: -> minor),
conventional-commit type mapping
- .release-please-manifest.json - baseline 0.1.0 for all 6 packages
- .github/workflows/release-please.yml - googleapis/release-please-
action@v4 on push to main,
concurrency-gated, write
permissions for the rolling PR
Workflow: on every push to main, release-please scans commits since
the last release tag PER PACKAGE (using commit-path, not the
conventional-commit scope), updates a single rolling release PR with
version bumps + per-package CHANGELOG entries. Merging that PR cuts
per-package tags + GitHub releases.
CHANGELOG files seeded at v0.1.0 baseline:
- CHANGELOG.md (root)
- packages/<feature>/CHANGELOG.md (5 features)
Subsequent versions are appended by release-please from commit
history. Do not edit manually.
Visibility surfaces updated (every agent entry point):
- CLAUDE.md Read First + new "Versioning is hybrid" Key Conventions
bullet (with bump policy summary)
- AGENTS.md preamble - new "Releases:" callout alongside Commits
- docs/glossary.md - new Releasing section with 8 terms (Conventional
Commits, release-please, Hybrid versioning, Tag prefix, Rolling
release PR, Bump targeting, Pre-1.0 bump policy, Release-As trailer,
CHANGELOG.md)
- docs/README.md - guides tree updated with releasing.md
- .claude/hooks/session-start.sh - one-line release reminder
- .claude/hooks/prompt-context.sh - new keyword group for
release/version/bump/semver/tag prompts
Package.json version bumps:
- root: name "template" -> "template-vertical", version "0.1.0"
- packages/auth, blog, media, marketing-pages, navigation: "0.0.0" -> "0.1.0"
Root rename rationale: release-please tags use the package-name + the
component prefix; "template-vertical" matches the repo identity (and
the user's question preview).
First release-please PR after this lands will sweep all subsequent
post-baseline commits into 0.1.1 / 0.2.0 bumps as appropriate.

The implementer + reviewer sandcastle prompts already enforce
conventional commits, but the convention was buried in those prompt
templates — agents not running through sandcastle (e.g. interactive
Claude sessions, ad-hoc fixups) had no visible signal that the format
is non-negotiable.
Four visibility surfaces now carry the signal:
- CLAUDE.md Key Conventions: new top bullet stating the spec
(<type>(<scope>): <subject>), the full type list, breaking-change
syntax (!), and three example commits
- AGENTS.md preamble: parallel callout alongside the vocabulary
and quality-gates notes
- .claude/hooks/session-start.sh: one-line reminder in the boot
pointers (every session now sees it at start)
- .claude/hooks/prompt-context.sh: new 10th keyword group fires
when a user prompt mentions commit/message/changelog/conventional,
injecting the full spec into the turn's context
Conventional Commits spec: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/
Verified: the prompt-context hook smoke-tests green when a prompt
containing "commit message" is piped in — it emits the conventional
commits pointer.

The docs/scaffolding/ directory held two how-to guides (core-package
+ core-ui-component generator references). Both are operationally
identical in shape to docs/guides/scaffolding-a-feature.md — they
just live in a separate top-level docs directory. Consolidating
removes one directory + makes the three scaffolding guides
discoverable as siblings.
Moves (via git mv to preserve history):
docs/scaffolding/core-package-generator.md
-> docs/guides/scaffolding-core-package.md
docs/scaffolding/core-ui-component-generator.md
-> docs/guides/scaffolding-core-ui-component.md
Empty docs/scaffolding/ directory removed.
AGENTS.md (only consumer of the old paths) updated to point at the
new locations.

Closes the staleness gap after the 10-commit coverage epic shipped.
Doc sync (item 1 from the user's choice):
- CLAUDE.md Quick Start: adds pnpm coverage:aggregate / coverage:diff
/ mutate to the command listing
- CLAUDE.md: new "Sibling architecture: coverage (ADR-020)" section
after the conformance gate table — captures the 4-layer table +
points at docs/guides/coverage.md + ADR-020 + says agents must run
coverage:diff before reporting complete
- AGENTS.md preamble: now lists coverage as a parallel multi-latency
quality system alongside conformance, with the same gate / latency
framing
- PRD frontmatter: status draft -> shipped + shipped date +
shipping-commits list (all 10 SHAs anchoring the trace)
- PRD findings table: each row gets a Resolution column citing the
commit that closed it; conclusion text updated to past tense
- ADR-020 implementation phasing: rewritten as a status table with
each step linked to the commit that shipped it + Boot-time
assertFeatureConformance explicitly marked Deferred with rationale
- docs/guides/coverage.md: removed "Boot wiring lands in the next
story" line; replaced with the deferral rationale + clarified
that two readers (vitest, coverage:diff) consume the manifest
Sandcastle prompts (item 2 from the user's choice):
- .sandcastle/implementer.prompt.md: new "Coverage gates" section
after the conformance-gates list, requiring `pnpm test --coverage`,
`pnpm coverage:aggregate`, and `pnpm coverage:diff` to all pass
before reporting `complete`. Machine-readable JSON shape of
coverage:diff documented (status / uncovered[] / kind enum), with
explicit instructions on how to interpret each kind. Allowlist
expansion requires justification + test.
- .sandcastle/reviewer.prompt.md: AC coverage relabeled to "AC
coverage (acceptance criteria, not test coverage)" to disambiguate;
new check #7 "Coverage gates (ADR-020)" requiring CI's
Coverage — diff (L1) step green + per-layer thresholds met +
no silent allowlist expansion + manifest band drift detection.
Effect: future agent runs through sandcastle now treat coverage as a
first-class blocking gate, parallel to conformance. PRs no longer
discover coverage failures only via CI; the implementer is required
to check before reporting done, and the reviewer is required to
verify.

docs/glossary.md is the shared vocabulary source for humans and agents.
Resolves every cross-cutting term used in this repo (feature, use case,
manifest, slice, conformance, dispatch, ...) with one-sentence definitions,
relationships, and flagged ambiguities. Linked from CLAUDE.md "Read First"
and AGENTS.md preamble so every session loads it early.
.claude/skills/ installs four mattpocock skills adapted to this monorepo:
- to-prd: writes to docs/work/prds/ with the repo's PRD frontmatter +
merged user-stories/implementation/testing sections
- grill-with-docs: points at docs/decisions/ + docs/glossary.md; adds
feature.manifest.ts + conformance-rule cross-checks
- grill-me: minor — adds pnpm work / fallow / manifest shortcuts
- handoff: adds the repo's specific don't-duplicate artifacts list
Also fixes a missed "Phase-1" residual in CLAUDE.md's Read First section.

Captures the decision to adopt @ai-hero/sandcastle as the orchestration
substrate for agent-driven development in this template. Records the
8-point decision (workspace dep, .sandcastle/ prompts, Dockerfile,
dispatch.mjs orchestrator, planning vs execute modes, generator-first
reviewer check, bring-your-own-key, per-task max-attempts), the four
alternatives considered (bare CLI / Copilot Workspace / custom-from-
scratch / no orchestrator), and four trade-offs (external dep, token
cost, Docker dependency, manual state mutation in v1).
Surfaces the decision at the top of README.md and AGENTS.md so new
contributors see the agent-driven framing before they hit the package
map or daily commands.
- AGENTS.md bind-production code block: shows the slim default state
(no @repo/core-events / @repo/core-realtime imports, BindProductionContext
with no generic args) with a comment pointing to the scaffold workflow.
The previous block showed a fully-wired post-scaffold state without
signaling that none of those packages exist in main.
- bind-protocols.test.ts: top-of-file comment clarifies what these tests
actually verify (protocol shapes have required methods) vs what the
spec text might suggest (full assignability of optional packages'
interfaces — that's verified by the e2e reconstruction tests, not here).
- core-package-generator.md: drops two stale "Until Phases 3-6 land"
parentheticals — the phases shipped.
- config.test.ts: extends the choices assertion to cover all 4 names
(realtime, events, trpc, ui).
- marketing-pages bind-* comments: reverse the inverted optional/required
language. queue (IJobQueue) is from core-shared and always present;
bus is the optional one (from @repo/core-events when scaffolded).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- AGENTS.md (root): marks core-ui as optional in the package table and
boundary rules; points per-package docs to the .hbs template
- apps/storybook/AGENTS.md: rewrites around no-core-ui-by-default;
stories glob and globals.css import described as post-scaffold steps
- apps/web-next/AGENTS.md: cross-reference updated to template file
- apps/web-tanstack/AGENTS.md: cross-reference updated to template file
- docs/architecture/data-flow-explainer.html: core-ui bullet notes
optional status + generator command

Adds docs/scaffolding/core-package-generator.md with usage, template
table, and drift-verification instructions. Updates CLAUDE.md Quick
Start and AGENTS.md Key Commands with the new pnpm turbo gen core-package
entry. Creates templates/core-package/.gitkeep placeholder for Phase 3+.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Wires the existing turbo gen feature generator into AGENTS.md (Adding
a Feature section, Key Commands, Specification & Guides) and
CLAUDE.md (Quick Start, Read First). Adds a fast-path callout at the
top of the manual walkthrough in docs/guides/adding-a-feature.md
pointing at scaffolding-a-feature.md.

Six docs lagged after the post-merge R44 fix added withCapture +
reported-flag.ts. They mentioned withSpan only and described the
capture story as if it were inline in use-case / controller bodies.
This commit aligns them with what shipped.
CLAUDE.md (Key Conventions):
- "Spans applied at DI bind time" → "Spans + capture composed at DI
bind time" with the withSpan(withCapture(factory)) sandwich and the
outermost-span ordering note.
- "Capture at throw sites only" expanded to mention the
__sentryReported flag, the three flag-checking sites (withCapture,
SentryLogger, RecordingLogger), and where the helper lives.
AGENTS.md (Instrumentation conventions):
- Use case + controller wrapping example shows the full sandwich.
- Capture-rules table now explicitly says "via withCapture" for use
cases and controllers, and "flag set, withCapture bails" for the
bubbled cases.
packages/core-shared/AGENTS.md:
- "with-span.ts" entry split into a paired with-span + with-capture
block, including the actual sandwich code.
- New entry for reported-flag.ts explaining the helper and why
RecordingLogger inlines the check (boundary rule).
- Barrel re-export list updated.
docs/architecture/vertical-feature-spec.md (§16):
- The bind-production line now describes the withSpan(withCapture(...))
sandwich, the outermost-span rationale, and the bubbled-error bail.
docs/architecture/dependency-flow.md (TRACER/LOGGER subsection):
- bindAll diagram updated: real repo line annotates inline calls; use
case + controller lines show withSpan(withCapture(...)).
docs/guides/tdd-workflow.md (Asserting spans and captures):
- Direct-injection example shows the binder sandwich.
- Capture-assertion example explains the flag-bail behaviour and
links to the new tests/r44-no-double-capture.test.ts e2e example.

Adds the seven Plan 10 conventions to CLAUDE.md (interfaces in core-shared,
spans at bind time, throw-site capture, PII rules, three Sentry projects,
orthogonal binding). Adds an "Instrumentation conventions" section to
AGENTS.md with repo constructor/method patterns, capture-rules table,
boundary allowlist, and test rules. Appends §16 "Instrumentation & error
capture" to vertical-feature-spec.md (the spec already has 15 sections,
so appending rather than slotting in as §10 to avoid renumbering).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- CLAUDE.md Key Conventions: 'App bootstrap' rule rewritten as 'Three
binding modes per feature' — describes USE_DEV_SEED + NODE_ENV
resolution order and the new ./di/bind-dev-seed export.
- AGENTS.md (root): exports list now mentions ./ui + ./di/bind-dev-seed;
Per-feature public-API surface table gains a row; Apps section shows
the bindAll() dispatcher with three-rule logic.
- docs/architecture/vertical-feature-spec.md §6: file shape now
includes bind-dev-seed.ts, bind-dev-seed.test.ts, __seeds__/dev.ts;
package.json exports list updated to include ./di/bind-dev-seed.
- docs/architecture/data-flow-explainer.html: anatomy tree gains
__seeds__/ row; LAYERS.di description updated with new binders +
cross-link to di-explainer.html; new LAYERS.seeds entry; public-
surface card expanded to six subpaths.
- docs/superpowers/refactor-logs/2026-05-06-input-output-unification.md
§7: new 'Post-Plan-9: dev-seed binders' entry summarizing the rollout
(commits, per-feature additions, app wiring, tests, turbo, docs).
- bind-production.test.ts: dispatcher tests use vi.stubEnv (typesafe
way to test process.env in TypeScript 5+ with @types/node read-only
process.env types). 4 dispatcher tests + 2 bindAllProduction tests
= 7 tests total.
Captures the decision to add @repo/core-testing, factories, contract
suites, vitest safety defaults, coverage thresholds, Storybook
test-runner, and CI as one cohesive TDD foundation. Per-feature
AGENTS.md gains a Tests section pointing to factories, contract suite,
and the canonical test commands.
Spec: §7.4, §7.5
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Aligns tooling packages with the core-* naming convention used by all
other foundation packages (core-shared, core-cms, core-api, core-trpc,
core-ui). Updates ~50 files: package.json names, devDependencies,
tsconfig extends, eslint.config imports, vitest.config imports, AGENTS.md
references, and the boundaries plugin patterns to match the new paths.
The tooling-specific patterns in boundaries/elements are now ordered BEFORE
the broader core-* pattern to ensure correct first-match-wins behavior.
