+
+### Added
+
+- **[Publishing](docs/PUBLISHING.md): where a CLI is published beyond npm, and how.** npm, ClawHub, the MCP Registry,
+  the Claude plugin marketplace, Hermes, Glama, GitHub and wirecat.dev: each one's setup, what a release does, how to
+  prove a publish happened (three jobs go green without publishing), the problems met with their fixes, a checklist
+  for a new CLI, and each CLI's status. `new-cli.md` points to the checklist.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`markdownFiles` passes over a worktree or clone inside the checkout** (a folder with its own `.git`, such as
+  `.worktrees/<topic>`). Its pages are another branch's, and their broken links failed cli-template's release check.
+  Every CLI's `docs:check` gets this through its own `docs-rules.ts`, with no change there.
+
+- **`cli-dev docs-check` reads a heading's anchor as GitHub does when it has `<…>` in code.** It dropped
+  `` `v<version>` `` as an HTML tag and wanted `tag-v-only`, where GitHub makes `tag-vversion-only`. So a working link
+  failed and a broken one passed. Two links in `architecture.md` were broken that way and are fixed. After this
+  release a CLI's `docs:check` may find links of its own that never worked on GitHub.
