+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [1.0.0-rc.0] - 2026-06-01
+
+### Added
+
+#### `@tachu/core`
+
+- 9-phase execution pipeline with session management, minimum safety, intent analysis, planning, graph validation, sub-task execution, candidate-answer synthesis, result validation, and output normalization.
+- Built-in `direct-answer` and `tool-use` sub-flows, including tool-loop execution, streaming deltas, cancellation propagation, and turn retry bookkeeping.
+- Descriptor Registry for Rules, Skills, Tools, and Agents, including version-aware descriptor lookup and deterministic activation gates.
+- Prompt assembly with token accounting, context budgeting hooks, multimodal resource placeholders, and provider-bound reference materialization.
+- Result Validation contracts: `EvidenceEntry`, `ClaimEntry`, `CandidateAnswer`, `ValidationOutcome`, deterministic validation rules, optional semantic judge adapter, and degrade / handoff / retry outcomes.
+- Turn Policy support for tool include/exclude, skill pin/exclude, explicit skill priority, final-answer skill inheritance, and visualization metadata passthrough.
+- Resource Reference Pool, token-level Resource Demand routing, multimodal memory fidelity for new sessions, and provider image carrier support.
+
+#### `@tachu/extensions`
+
+- OpenAI, Anthropic, Qwen, Gemini, and Mock provider adapters with streaming, tool calling, configurable base URLs, timeouts, and embedding support where implemented.
+- Built-in tools for file, terminal, search, web, git, task tracking, and typecheck/test execution workflows.
+- MCP stdio and SSE adapters, OpenTelemetry / JSONL emitters, Qdrant and local vector index adapters, and file-backed memory with projection outbox support.
+
+#### `@tachu/host-defaults`
+
+- Shared host wiring for CLI and embedded hosts: provider inference, capability checks, semantic retrieval facade setup, semantic judge resolution, and memory projection stack helpers.
+
+#### `@tachu/cli`
+
+- `tachu init`, `tachu run`, `tachu chat`, and approval-management commands.
+- Interactive session persistence, streaming renderer, terminal Markdown rendering, configuration loading, provider setup, and opt-in real-provider end-to-end test path.
+
+#### `@tachu/web-fetch-server`
+
+- Private optional sidecar for browser-backed `web-fetch` and `web-search` workflows, with Playwright-based rendering and Docker runtime alignment.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Workspace packages now publish in lockstep as `1.0.0-rc.0`.
+- Public package publish order is `@tachu/core` → `@tachu/extensions` → `@tachu/host-defaults` → `@tachu/cli`.
+- Release artifact validation checks public package metadata, mirrored package docs, executable bins, built artifacts, private sidecar exclusion, and Web Fetch Docker / Playwright runtime alignment.
+- Package descriptions and install guidance now use release-candidate terminology.
+
+### Known Limitations
+
+- Runtime provider fallback after `ProviderError` is not implemented in this release candidate.
+- Semantic judge support is available but not production-complete.
+- The Web Fetch sidecar remains private and is not published to npm.

+# Tachu
+
+**An agentic engine under active development — the *Harness* that aims to turn any LLM into a reliable, observable Agent.**
+
+[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@tachu/core?label=%40tachu%2Fcore)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tachu/core)
+[![status: rc](https://img.shields.io/badge/status-rc-blue)](#project-status)
+[![license: Apache-2.0](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache--2.0-blue)](#license)
+[![bun](https://img.shields.io/badge/runtime-bun-orange)](https://bun.sh)
+[![TypeScript](https://img.shields.io/badge/TypeScript-5.x-blue)](https://www.typescriptlang.org)
+
+> **Project Status — Release Candidate.** The 9-phase pipeline, registry, prompt assembler, CLI, OpenAI / Anthropic / Qwen / Gemini adapters, MCP adapters, vector stores and observability emitters are wired up and tested. Phase 3 (Intent Analysis) is a real LLM call, Phase 5 routes complex tool-capable requests to the built-in `tool-use` loop, and Phase 8 runs deterministic validation rules with optional semantic judge. Runtime provider fallback and semantic judge production hardening remain post-rc work. Install via the `@rc` dist-tag.
+
+---
+
+## What is Tachu?
+
+Tachu aims to be an **agentic engine you can build a real product on** — not a toy demo, not a thin wrapper. It is the *Harness* in the equation **Agent = Model + Harness**: it provides the structural skeleton (protocol, lifecycle, safety, memory, orchestration) so that any LLM becomes a reliable, observable Agent.
+
+The engine is intentionally **domain-agnostic**: it knows nothing about your business logic, your users, or your domain vocabulary. Instead, it defines a small set of core abstractions (Rules, Skills, Tools, Agents) through which your business fills in all the intelligence. Tachu is designed to handle the hard parts — 9-phase execution pipeline, dual-plane semantic matching, context window management, token-precise prompt assembly, structured retry/fallback, cancellation propagation, and end-to-end observability.
+
+Tachu ships as a Bun-native TypeScript monorepo with three published packages — the zero-dependency engine core (`@tachu/core`), an official extensions library (`@tachu/extensions`), and a fully-featured CLI program (`@tachu/cli`) that doubles as the reference implementation — plus `@tachu/host-defaults` for shared CLI/embedded host wiring, and an optional private sidecar package (`@tachu/web-fetch-server`) for remote browser-backed web tools.
+
+---
+
+## Project Status
+
+**Current release:** `1.0.0-rc.0` on the `rc` dist-tag.
+
+**Version terminology:** The product line is **Tachu v1**. Release candidates are stabilization builds for `1.0.0`, not a separate framework generation. HTTP paths like `/v1/extract` are API versions only. See [detailed-design § version glossary](docs/detailed-design.md#版本与发布术语必读).
+
+This is the **first release candidate**. The table below is a readability index only; runtime behavior, defaults, and edge cases are authoritative in the cited source files and tests.
+
+| Capability | Status | Notes |
+|-----------|--------|-------|
+| 9-phase pipeline skeleton (types, orchestrator, state machine, hooks) | ✅ Implemented | `packages/core/src/engine` |
+| Descriptor Registry (Rules / Skills / Tools / Agents) | ✅ Implemented | Markdown + YAML frontmatter loader, semantic indexing, startup validation |
+| Prompt assembler (tiktoken, KV-cache-friendly ordering) | ✅ Implemented | `packages/core/src/prompt` |
+| Task scheduler, DAG validator, turn/task retry bookkeeping | ✅ Implemented | `packages/core/src/engine/scheduler.ts`; **runtime provider fallback on LLM errors is not wired** (see [Providers guide](./docs/guides/providers-and-integrations.md)) |
+| Session / Memory / Runtime-state / Safety / Model-router / Provider / Observability / Hooks modules | ✅ Implemented | `packages/core/src/modules` |
+| OpenAI / Anthropic / Qwen / Mock Provider adapters | ✅ Implemented | CLI auto-wires via `@tachu/host-defaults`; streaming, function calling, tool schemas |
+| Gemini Provider adapter | ✅ Implemented (manual wiring) | `GeminiProviderAdapter` in `@tachu/extensions` with unit tests; **not** registered by default CLI / `buildProviderAdapter` — inject via `createEngine(..., { providers: [new GeminiProviderAdapter(...)] })` (see [Providers guide](./docs/guides/providers-and-integrations.md)) |
+| `apiKey` / `baseURL` / `organization` / `timeoutMs` configuration (env var / `tachu.config.ts` / CLI flags) | ✅ Implemented | Azure OpenAI / LiteLLM / OpenRouter / self-hosted gateways supported |
+| 22 built-in tools + Terminal / File / Web backends | ✅ Implemented | `packages/extensions/src/tools/index.ts` |
+| MCP stdio + SSE adapters | ✅ Implemented | `packages/extensions/src/mcp` |
+| `LocalFsVectorIndexAdapter` (file-backed) + `QdrantVectorIndexAdapter` (REST) | ✅ Implemented | |
+| OTel / JSONL emitters | ✅ Implemented | |
+| `tachu init` / `tachu run` / `tachu chat` CLI surface, streaming renderer, session persistence, Ctrl+C semantics | ✅ Implemented | |
+| **CLI terminal Markdown rendering** | ✅ **Implemented** | `marked` + `marked-terminal` + `cli-highlight` stack. Applied to the final assistant reply in `tachu chat` / `tachu run --output text` when stdout is a TTY; automatically disables under `NO_COLOR` / non-TTY / `--no-color`. Explicit control via `--markdown` / `--no-markdown` on `tachu run`. Dedicated `renderMarkdownToAnsi` wrapper (`packages/cli/src/renderer/markdown.ts`) with 12 unit tests in `markdown.test.ts`. |
+| **Phase 3 — Intent Analysis (LLM call, pure classification)** | ✅ **Implemented** | Pure classification only (`IntentResult`); final user reply is Phase 7 `direct-answer`. **Implementation:** `packages/core/src/engine/phases/intent.ts` (`INTENT_SYSTEM_PROMPT_BASE`, fast paths, JSON parse, heuristic fallback); tests: `intent.test.ts`. Hosts may **`config.intent.systemPromptBase`** to replace the base wholesale; optional extra few-shots: `config.intent.fewShotExamples` (Agent Context / explicit selections still appended by core). |
+| **Phase 5 — Task Planning (planning router)** | ✅ **Implemented** | Enforces `plans[0].tasks.length >= 1`. Rules: (1) `simple` intent → single `direct-answer` sub-flow task; (2) `complex` + visible tools → single `tool-use` sub-flow task; (3) `complex` + no visible tool → single `direct-answer` sub-flow task with `warn: true`; (4) defensive post-guard catches upstream regressions that leave `tasks` empty. Multi-step behavior lives inside `tool-use`; optional plan preview / human review may still evolve, but there is no separate default LLM pre-planner on the main path. |
+| **`direct-answer` built-in Sub-flow (Phase 7)** | ✅ **Implemented** | `packages/core/src/engine/subflows/direct-answer.ts`. Resolves `capabilityMapping.intent` (fallback to `fast-cheap`), composes system + ≤10 memory-history entries + user prompt, calls `ProviderAdapter.chat()` with a 60 s per-call timeout merged with the phase abort signal. System prompt mandates **natural-language Markdown**, forbids JSON wrappers / `"已识别请求：…"` templates / 4-space indented code blocks, and supports a `warn: true` flag for honest tool-missing disclaimers. Emits `llm_call_start` / `llm_call_end` observability events under `phase: "direct-answer"`. Non-overridable: `DescriptorRegistry` registers `direct-answer` as a reserved name and rejects business registration / unregistration with `RegistryError.reservedName`. |
+| **Phase 8 — Result Validation Outcome** | 🟡 **Partially wired** | `ValidationOutcome` union + `ValidationRuleRegistry` with **5 deterministic rules** via `buildDefaultValidationRuleRegistry()` (`packages/core/src/engine/phases/validation/index.ts`). Optional `ProviderSemanticJudgeAdapter` / `BudgetedSemanticJudgeAdapter`. Engine consumes `retry` (turn loop via `decideTurnRetry`), `degrade` / `handoff` (exit to Output). Gaps: no standalone `ExecutionPolicy` type; runtime provider fallback is not implemented and semantic judge is not production-complete. |
+| **Phase 9 — Output Assembly** | ✅ **Implemented** | Content selector: `taskResults['task-direct-answer']` → `{intent, taskResults}` structured JSON (tool-chain success path; semantic polish still depends on real Phase 8) → honest-fallback plain-language message with recognized intent + internal diagnosis + *"rephrase as simple"* suggestion (validation failed). Internal state JSON is never leaked to end users. Covered by `output.test.ts`. |
+| Real-world smoke tests against OpenAI / Anthropic / Azure | 🟡 **Manually verified; opt-in automated** | Mock unit tests cover adapters in CI. Maintainers have **hand-run** real LLM paths (custom gateways included). An **opt-in** scripted e2e exists — set `TACHU_REAL_E2E=1` plus `TACHU_E2E_API_KEY` / `TACHU_E2E_API_BASE` / `TACHU_E2E_PROVIDER` (see [Contributing](./CONTRIBUTING.md)) — but default CI does not publish signed recordings. |
+| Production hardening (SLO, error budgets, failure injection, signed provenance) | 🔴 Not yet | Target for `1.0.0` (Tachu v1). |
+
+Legend: ✅ implemented and tested · 🟡 stub / placeholder present, real implementation in progress · 🔴 not yet started.

+
+## Key Features
+
+- **9-Phase Execution Pipeline** — session management → safety → intent analysis (pure classification) → pre-check → planning router → DAG validation → execution → result validation outcome → output normalization; each phase is a typed, hookable stage, and every request — simple or complex — flows through all nine phases with uniform Rules / Hooks / Observability / budget accounting
+- **Task Planning + Tool-use Loop** — Phase 5 does not precompute a ranked multi-step plan. It routes `simple` requests to `direct-answer`, routes `complex + visible tools` into the built-in `tool-use` Agentic Loop, and lets that loop perform iterative LLM tool selection → gated tool execution → tool-result feedback → final answer.
+- **`direct-answer` built-in Sub-flow** — answers to simple requests (and to complex requests with no matching tool) are produced by a first-class engine-internal Sub-flow running in Phase 7, not baked into the intent prompt.
+- **Dual-Plane Matching** — semantic discovery (vector similarity) + deterministic execution gate (scopes, whitelist, approval) for every Rule, Skill, Tool, and Agent
+- **Four Core Abstractions** — declare Rules, Skills, Tools, and Agents as Markdown + YAML frontmatter descriptors; the engine resolves, activates, and orchestrates them automatically
+- **OpenAI & Anthropic Adapters** — streaming, function calling, configurable `baseURL` / `organization` / `timeoutMs`; works with Azure OpenAI, LiteLLM, OpenRouter, or any self-hosted gateway
+- **MCP Integration** — connect any MCP server (stdio or SSE) via `McpToolAdapter`; MCP tools become first-class engine Tools
+- **Token-Precise Prompt Assembly** — tiktoken-based exact token counting; KV-cache-friendly prompt layout; automatic context compression (Head-Middle-Tail strategy)
+- **Structured Memory** — session context window with configurable limits; archive-before-summarize guarantee; vector recall for long-term memory
+- **OpenTelemetry Observability** — every phase entry/exit, LLM call, tool call, retry, and fallback emits a structured `EngineEvent`; OTel and JSONL emitters included
+- **Interactive CLI** — `tachu chat` / `tachu run` / `tachu init` with full parameter sets, streaming render, session persistence, and Ctrl+C cancellation
+- **Terminal Markdown rendering** — final assistant replies are rendered via `marked` + `marked-terminal` + `cli-highlight`; headings, bold / italic, lists, block quotes, links, tables and fenced code blocks (with syntax highlighting) are all supported. Automatically disabled under `NO_COLOR` / non-TTY / `--no-color`; explicitly controllable with `--markdown` / `--no-markdown` on `tachu run`.
+- **Fail-Closed Safety Baseline** — loop protection, budget circuit-breaker, and basic input validation are hardwired into the engine and cannot be disabled
+- **Qdrant & LocalFs Vector Stores** — plug in Qdrant for multi-process deployments or use the file-backed store for local/single-process setups

+
+## Vision
+
+> *太初有道，万物之始。以声明式描述符创造 Agent 万物。*
+> *In the beginning was the Tao — all things arise from it. With declarative descriptors, conjure Agent capability from nothing.*
+
+The long-term vision of Tachu is a universal Agent framework where **the engine provides the skeleton and business provides the blood**: any organization can build production-grade agentic systems on top of a stable, observable, auditable foundation without re-solving the hard problems of safety, context management, retry logic, and multi-provider orchestration every time.
+
+Tachu is built around three convictions:
+
+1. **The Harness is the hard part.** Model intelligence is commoditized; reliable orchestration is not. Tachu invests deeply in the engine infrastructure so application developers can focus on domain logic.
+2. **Declaration over implementation.** Rules, Skills, Tools, and Agents are declared as plain Markdown files. The engine resolves them. No framework-specific boilerplate.
+3. **Observable by default.** Every internal event is structured and emittable. Production systems need complete traces — Tachu provides them without opt-in instrumentation.
+
+---
+
+## Core Abstractions
+
+Rules, Skills, Tools, and Agents are Markdown + YAML descriptors. Semantic discovery proposes candidates; deterministic gates authorize execution (especially Tools).

+
+## Architecture (summary)
+
+Requests flow through a **9-phase pipeline**. Complex tool work enters the built-in `tool-use` loop in Phase 7.

+Tachu requires [Bun](https://bun.sh) as the runtime.
+
+> **Install via the `@rc` dist-tag** (or an exact version) until Tachu reaches stable.
+
+```bash
+# Install the engine core
+bun add @tachu/core@rc
+
+# Install the extensions library (providers, tools, backends, vector stores)
+bun add @tachu/extensions@rc
+
+# Install and use the CLI globally
+bun add -g @tachu/cli@rc
+```
+
+After global installation, verify with:
+
+```bash
+tachu --version   # expect 1.0.0-rc.0 or newer
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### CLI
+
+```bash
+# 1. Initialize a new project workspace
+tachu init --template minimal --provider openai
+
+# 2. Set your API key (used by the OpenAI provider adapter)
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+
+# 3. Run a single prompt
+tachu run "Summarize the last 5 git commits in this repository"
+
+# 4. Start an interactive chat session
+tachu chat
+
+# Resume the most recent session
+tachu chat --resume
+```
+
+
+Programmatic embedding: see [Configuration](./docs/guides/configuration.md) and `@tachu/host-defaults`.
