+A Design Model: the design lives in `gcf/design/<system>.md` as units with typed slots — what the GDD says, quoted and anchored, and `TBD` for everything it does not. Every piece of work — a mechanic, a bug, tech, an asset, a spike, a release — is a work item `gcf/work/<id>.md` with a `type` and a `gate`: who closes it, the human after play (`verdict`), a check (`auto`), or the human without a build (`decision`). A unit taken into work moves into its item with the same body; a soft unit collapses into its subsystem's document on a human playtest verdict and the item ceases to exist. `gcf/LIVE.md` is a short snapshot of what the game is now — capabilities and known issues. `gcf/inbox.md` holds raw input waiting for triage. A history and a graveyard keep how each id ended and why things were killed. Read rules keep the token cost of a task flat as the project ages.

+The methodology is [Methodology.md](https://github.com/VirtualMaestro/GCF/blob/main/docs/Methodology.md) (RU).
 
 Runtime-agnostic — everything here works on any AI Factory runtime. The Claude-Code-specific orchestration lives in [`gcf-harness-aif-ext`](../gcf-harness-aif-ext), which is optional.

+`gcf init` is idempotent: it creates what is missing and overwrites nothing. Among what it seeds: `gcf/work/` for the work items, `gcf/inbox.md` for raw input, `gcf/LIVE.md` for the project snapshot, `gcf/history.md` and `gcf/graveyard.md` — the two files that record how an id's life ended — and three lines in `.gitattributes` (`gcf/history.md merge=union`, `gcf/graveyard.md merge=union`, `gcf/inbox.md merge=union`) so that two branches appending different lines to those files never conflict there.
 
 It then offers the optional [harness](../gcf-harness-aif-ext) — orchestration and a readset guard for **Claude Code only** — and on yes runs `ai-factory extension add gcf-harness-aif-ext` and `ai-factory gcf-harness init`. It asks only in a terminal and only when `.ai-factory.json` lists the Claude Code agent; an agent or CI run is never asked and installs nothing. `--harness` installs it without asking, `--no-harness` skips the question.
 
 `hooks-install` is a separate step because an AI Factory manifest can declare skills, commands and injections but cannot install a git hook — and because arming a gate that can break your commits is your call, not the extension's. It needs a git repository, and it will not overwrite a `pre-commit` it did not write: if husky or lefthook already owns the hook, it prints the one line to chain from it instead. Without the hook GCF still works; nothing enforces it at commit time.

+
+### Upgrading from 0.3.x
+
+0.4.0 replaces the cards with work items and does **not migrate** them. A schema 2 card in `gcf/cards/` is no longer read: while any is left there, the pre-commit gate refuses every commit that touches `gcf/`, and `gcf audit` reports it first. In order:
+
+1. Update both extensions together — `gcf-harness-aif-ext` 0.5.0 requires this core — and run `ai-factory gcf init`: it seeds `gcf/work/`, `gcf/inbox.md`, `gcf/LIVE.md` and the `gcf/inbox.md merge=union` line. Your `config.yml` is kept; the new keys `unplayed_warn_after`, `plan_passes` and `dod_attempts` take their defaults, and `dod.test` / `dod.build` (the project's test and build commands) are yours to fill in.
+2. Re-create each card. A 0.3 card is a mechanic or a resource, which `item new` does not create: put its body back as a `## <id>` section in `gcf/design/<system>.md` with a `- <id>` line in `backlog.md`, commit, and run `ai-factory gcf take <id>`. A card that was `built` then goes `ai-factory gcf submit <id>` (its code is in main already); `tune_count` starts at 0 unless you carry it over by hand.
+3. Delete `gcf/cards/` and commit it with the new items.
+
+What else changes: statuses are `ready`, `awaiting-verdict`, `awaiting-decision`, `blocked`, `parked` and `unplayed` (`proposed` and `tuning` are `ready`, `built` is `awaiting-verdict`); `built_at` is `since`; `submit` replaces the hand flip to `built`; `reopens:` names an ended id and rework gets a new id; a kill or drop of code already in main creates a `remove-<id>` item; graveyard lines carry the type (0.3 lines without it still read); history gains the `decided` event; every item needs a `live:` delta before it ends.
+
+### Upgrading from 0.3.0
+
+0.3.1 is a patch release with no migration step. It changes behavior in these ways:
+
+- the pre-commit gate ignores `gcf/.metrics/`: a `gcf audit` or `gcf context` run no longer makes the next verdict, `take`, `done` or `drop` fail with `gcf/ has changes outside the index`
+- `ai-factory gcf verdict <id> tune` refuses a card at `tune_limit` (`gcf/config.yml`, 3 by default): kill it, or redesign the envelope and reset `tune_count`
+- `gcf audit` reports open questions older than `question_stale_after_commits` (`stale_questions`) and a `PILLARS.md` with more than 7 pillars
+- a card with an unquoted numeric `id:` (YAML reads `id: 2024` as a number) is refused: quote the slug
+- `built_at` is recorded in a follow-up commit after the implementation commit, with that commit's hash
+- the form check is `npx --yes cnlp-kit check`; `npx cnlp check` fails on a machine without a global cnlp-kit, because no npm package is named `cnlp`
+- a GDD with `#` lines inside closed code fences reports a one-time delta on its next re-import: those lines were wrongly read as headings before
+
+### Upgrading from 0.2.x
+
+0.3.0 replaces the candidate backlog with the Design Model: a card is schema 2 (`cards/<id>.md` with a slug id, `type`, `pillars`, no `slug` and no `route`; the gate names the steps for a schema 1 card), and the design lives in `gcf/design/`. In order:
+
+1. `ai-factory extension update` and `ai-factory gcf init` (adds `history.md` and the `.gitattributes` lines).
+2. `ai-factory gcf design migrate` — deterministic, no commit. Each `cand-NNN | …` backlog line becomes a unit: the quote goes to provenance, every slot the line did not carry reads `TBD`, every gap note survives as a `TBD`, the backlog keeps its order, and `cand-NNN` references in `open-questions.md` and `graveyard.md` are rewritten. The keeps and dones of old commit messages are copied into `gcf/history.md` once.
+3. Candidates you already turned into units by hand: `--skip cand-012=tile-placement` drops the line and sends dependencies on it to that unit; `--skip cand-014=take-back+undo-and-clear` does the same for a candidate you split in two. The command prints the dependencies it could not map, the units that look like duplicates of hand-written ones, and the gap notes of skipped candidates to check in their units.
+4. `ai-factory gcf design check`, fix what it reports — typically a digit in a description — and commit.

+Every move of an item makes one commit `gcf(<move>): <id>` with every file it touched — the item, history or graveyard, `LIVE.md`, the systems documents, the parent feature, a removal item, the archived plan. `take`, `item new` and `inbox` do not commit.

An unfinished unit (`TBD`) never breaks a commit. The gate regenerates `gcf/INDEX.md` and stages it for you.
+**A pre-commit gate** that breaks the commit on a schema 2 card left in `gcf/cards/`, an invalid item (an unknown field, a status that is not stored or does not fit its gate or type, a file name that is not its id), a malformed `[until:]` annotation, an edited body of an `unplayed` item, a malformed `gcf/LIVE.md`, a П2 linter finding in a subsystem document, or a blocking design-check finding: a malformed unit or item, a digit in prose, a forbidden synonym, a quote that is not verbatim in its GDD section, a dependency that names no known id, an id living in two places, a backlog out of step with `gcf/design/`.
