 # Changelog
 
+## [11.6.0] - 2026-06-17 — Skill Forge
+
+Largest single skill expansion in MindForge's history. Adds 80 community-sourced skills across 8 engineering domains with zero external attribution in any committed file. 30 skills are promoted to the engine tier for automatic trigger-matching; 50 live in the extended tier for explicit activation. Three new slash commands complete the discovery surface.
+

+## [11.5.1] - 2026-06-11 — Robustness + governance-gate patch (Wave 8)
+
+A fast-follow patch from a fresh adversarial audit of the shipped v11.5.0 tree.
+Hardens crash-prone JSON parsing in the autonomous/memory pipelines, closes a
+CI governance-gate gap, and tightens two security surfaces. No new features.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Crash-proof AUDIT.jsonl parsing** (`bin/memory/pillar-health-tracker.js`) —
+  `summarizePhase()` parsed every audit line with an unguarded `JSON.parse`, so a
+  single malformed/torn line crashed the knowledge-capture pipeline. Now parses
+  per-line in try/catch and skips bad lines.
+- **Crash-proof compaction capture** (`bin/memory/knowledge-capture.js`) — a
+  malformed `handoff.json` no longer throws out of `captureFromCompaction()`; it
+  logs and returns `[]`, mirroring the missing-file path.
+- **Resilient federated-sync stats** (`bin/memory/federated-sync.js`) — the two
+  unguarded `JSON.parse` calls on `sync-stats.json` (`handleSyncFailure`,
+  `resetFailures`) now fall back to `{failures:0}` on corruption, matching the
+  sibling `getLastSyncTimestamp` pattern.
+
+### Security
+
+- **CI Tier-3 governance gate now validates content** (`.github/workflows/control-plane.yml`)
+  — the gate counted approval files but never checked them; it now requires at
+  least one approval with `identity_verification.verified === true` and a
+  signature, and rejects any unverified/empty file. Completes the Wave-6
+  fail-closed `approve.js` work (a hand-committed empty approval no longer passes).
+- **Dashboard approval attribution** (`bin/dashboard/api-router.js`) —
+  `POST /api/approve/:id` no longer records the client-supplied `approver`
+  (forgeable audit identity); it attributes the action to a fixed authenticated
+  actor. The dashboard remains localhost-bound + token-gated.
+- **Destructive-command detector blocks Unix `truncate`** (`bin/security/trust-boundaries.js`)
+  — the SQL-only `truncate table` pattern missed `truncate -s 0 <path>` (in-place
+  file zeroing). Added a size-flag pattern so it is gated; benign uses stay allowed.
+- **CI Tier-3 gate accepts an explicitly-acknowledged unverified approval**
+  (`.github/workflows/control-plane.yml`, `bin/governance/approve.js`) — since this
+  repo has no GPG signing infra, the gate accepts an approval that is either
+  GPG-verified OR an opted-in `unverified_ack` record (`approve.js` under
+  `MINDFORGE_ALLOW_UNVERIFIED_APPROVAL=1`), while still rejecting bare/stale
+  `verified:false` files. Replaced the stale v11.4.0 approval with a fresh one.
+- **`uuid` dependency removed from `ads-engine`** (`bin/review/ads-engine.js`) — it
+  required the uninstalled `uuid` package, making `ads-engine` and (transitively)
+  `federated-sync` un-loadable in a clean install. Swapped to the built-in
+  `crypto.randomUUID()` (zero-native-deps); both modules now load.

+## v11.5.1 — Robustness + governance-gate patch
+
+**Release Date**: 2026-06-11
+**Type**: Patch (no API changes; one CI-gate behavior change)
+**Upgrade Path**: `npx mindforge-cc@latest`
+
+A fast-follow patch driven by a fresh adversarial audit of the shipped v11.5.0
+tree. It hardens crash-prone JSON parsing in the autonomous/memory pipelines,
+closes a governance-gate gap left by the v11.5.0 approval work, and tightens two
+security surfaces. No features, no API changes.
+
+### Robustness — no more crashes on a torn JSONL line
+
+Three pipelines parsed JSON without guards, so one malformed/partially-written
+line could crash them:
+
+- `summarizePhase()` (pillar-health) parsed every `AUDIT.jsonl` line unguarded —
+  it now skips bad lines and keeps the valid ones.
+- `captureFromCompaction()` (knowledge-capture) now returns `[]` on a malformed
+  `handoff.json` instead of throwing.
+- `federated-sync` now tolerates a corrupted `sync-stats.json` in both
+  `handleSyncFailure` and `resetFailures` (falls back to `{failures:0}`).
+
+### Security & governance
+
+- **The CI Tier-3 gate now actually validates approvals.** Previously it only
+  counted approval files; a hand-committed empty file would pass. It now requires
+  each approval to carry a signature and be EITHER GPG-verified
+  (`verified: true`) OR an explicitly opted-in unverified approval
+  (`unverified_ack`, minted by `approve.js` under
+  `MINDFORGE_ALLOW_UNVERIFIED_APPROVAL=1` for repos without GPG infra). Bare or
+  stale `verified:false` files are still rejected — completing the v11.5.0
+  fail-closed `approve.js` work.
+- **Dashboard approvals can't forge an identity.** `POST /api/approve/:id` no
+  longer records a client-supplied `approver` into the audit trail; it attributes
+  the action to a fixed authenticated actor. (The dashboard is already
+  localhost-bound and Bearer-token gated, so this is attribution hardening.)
+- **The destructive-command guard now blocks Unix `truncate -s`.** In-place file
+  zeroing (`truncate -s 0 <path>`) was missed by the SQL-only pattern; it is now
+  gated, with benign uses unaffected.
+- **A shipped module that couldn't load is fixed.** `bin/review/ads-engine.js`
+  required the uninstalled `uuid` package — so it (and the `federated-sync` that
+  imports it) threw on load in a clean install. Swapped to the built-in
+  `crypto.randomUUID()`; no new dependency.
+

 ## Install
 
-MindForge is installed via `npx` for zero-config setup:
+MindForge ships across several channels. Pick the one that matches how you work — the CLI installer is the recommended starting point.
+
+### 1. CLI installer (recommended, via `npx`)
+
+Zero-config setup that scaffolds the full framework:
 
 ```bash
 # Recommended (auto-detects your runtime)
-npx mindforge-cc
+npx mindforge-cc@latest
 
 # Antigravity (local development)
-npx mindforge-cc --antigravity --local
+npx mindforge-cc@latest --antigravity --local
 
 # Claude Code (local, per project)
-npx mindforge-cc --claude --local
+npx mindforge-cc@latest --claude --local
 ```
 
 After installation, the `mindforge` CLI command is available for runtime operations (health checks, security scans, headless execution, etc.).
 
+### 2. Claude Code plugin (self-hosted marketplace)
+
+Install MindForge as a Claude Code plugin from its marketplace:
+
+```bash
+/plugin marketplace add sairam0424/MindForge
+/plugin install mindforge@mindforge
+```
+
+### 3. Standalone MCP server
+
+Run the MindForge MCP server (`mindforge-mcp-server`) over stdio — it exposes 7 tools (6 read-only plus 1 guarded write): `mindforge_health`, `mindforge_status`, `mindforge_memory_query`, `mindforge_memory_stats`, `mindforge_memory_find_related`, `mindforge_audit_log`, and `mindforge_memory_remember`.
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add mindforge -- npx -y mindforge-mcp-server
