 # Changelog
 
+## 0.3.0 — 2026-07-22
+
+New:
+
+- identity from a PICKED comfy mark (W2-1): `renderIdentityFromMark` is THE
+  identity writer (mark png → logo 1024² master → favicon 512² → og card
+  compositing bg + mark left + name/tagline right, fonts shrink-to-fit);
+  canvas marks and picked comfy rolls both feed it — one render path.
+  `identityKinds(brand)` now carries a BUILT-IN ship hook (`Kind.ship.fn`,
+  new — a lib-side ShipFn; `ship.fn` + `ship.via` on one kind is a kit
+  error), so picking a logo roll in the studio re-renders the whole set
+  automatically. `shipkit assets identity` with a comfy mark renders from
+  the current pick and FAILs loud with the next step when nothing is picked
+  ("roll + pick in the studio: bun run assets → #identity-logo") — never a
+  placeholder. `Brand.markPrompt` = the full roll prompt for the mark.
+  Exports: `renderIdentityFromMark`, `NO_PICK_FIX`, `ShipContext`, `ShipFn`.
+
+- `shipkit serve` — ONE hub server per repo, ONE port: a no-build landing
+  page whose links are the whole toolbox. Routes: `/graph/wiki` (md link
+  graph — repo.config `serve.wikiGraph` plugs a custom provider, generic
+  scan otherwise) · `/graph/agent` (when `agent/` exists; `serve.agentIndex`
+  picks the entrypoint) · `/assets/` (the studio, mounted IN-PROCESS on the
+  same port) · `/status` (STATUS.md rendered + a "run check" button that
+  shells `shipkit check` and streams the wire lines). The same URLs print
+  to stdout as clickable `ok:` lines — the intended wiring is ONE vscode
+  folder-open task. Port: `serve.port`, else hashed from the repo name into
+  4800-4979; a taken port is probed via `/hub.json` — the same repo in
+  another window exits 0, a DIFFERENT repo fails loud with a fix pointer.
+- studio routes are mountable: `studioRoutes(deps)` returns the route table
+  (`handle(req, pathname)`); `serveStudio` (standalone `shipkit assets
+  serve`, own port) and the hub's `/assets/` mount share it — one route
+  table, two front doors. The studio page now resolves its urls RELATIVE to
+  the page (works at `/` and under `/assets/`); custom panel module urls
+  are `./panel/…` accordingly.
+- repo.config gains `serve?: { port?, wikiGraph?, agentIndex? }`
+  (`ServeConfig`).
+- studio per-asset info surface (W2-2): the detail view shows where every
+  roll comes from and where a pick goes — backend, resolved workflow id +
+  its `.rv-comfy/` path (or WHY it's unresolved), ship target (built-in /
+  hook / record), meta write-through file, kit source. `/api/asset` gains
+  an additive `info` block. Deterministic canvas kinds (draw takes no seed
+  → identical rolls) are labelled next to Generate and capped to one roll
+  instead of pretending to be a slot machine.
+- `shipkit assets check` prints workflow provenance (W2-3): one `ok:` line
+  per bound pair with its repo-relative `.{json,ts}` path — there is no
+  global workflow store, git owns each repo's pairs; the sharing doctrine
+  lives in build/comfyui.md.
+- a second `shipkit serve` launch on an already-owned port now prints the
+  full clickable tool URLs (from the owner's `/hub.json`), not just the hub
+  root — a re-run terminal is as clickable as a first run.
+
+Fixed:
+
+- `/status` page: STATUS.md content is `<`-escaped inside the inline
+  script — a literal `</script>` in a check line can no longer break the
+  page.
+
+Breaking: none (0.2.0 consumers upgrade clean; `Kind.ship.fn` and `serve`
+config are additive).
+
+## 0.2.0 — 2026-07-22
+
+The one-runner release: shipkit becomes the all-in-one companion
+binary/cli/tui of every repo — ci gate, health checks, contracts, asks,
+wiki graphs, asset atelier, live dashboard, init.
+
+BREAKING:
+
+- repo.config `checks:[]` + the `RepoCheck` type are DELETED (zero
+  consumers existed) — drop a `<name>.check.ts` file anywhere instead;
+  `shipkit check` discovers it.
+- `defineRepo` now REJECTS unknown top-level and `defaults` keys — a typo
+  can no longer silently thin the gate.
+- the standalone `rvlib-atelier` npm package is SUPERSEDED by this release
+  (its source folded in as `src/assets/`); it stays published as the frozen
+  predecessor, no new releases, deprecated after its last consumer swaps.
+
+New:
+
+- assets: `customPanel({ id, script })` — repo-defined metadata editors in
+  the studio. `script` is a repo-root-relative ES module served at
+  `GET /panel/<kindId>/<panelId>.js` and mounted as a drawer tab per asset:
+  `mount(el, api)` (+ optional `unmount()`), api =
+  `{ assetId, kindId, roll, imgUrl, getMeta(), saveMeta(json) }` backed by
+  the roll's meta sidecar (`/api/meta`, single writer). Script paths are
+  validated at kit load AND studio boot (loud error, never a silent 404);
+  panel ids are url-safe kebab-case, no `..`/absolute paths. geometry/grid
+  panels stay baked in — this is the escape hatch for any other shape.
+
+- tui: `shipkit tui` — ONE live dashboard for every repo. Built-in panels:
+  Tasks (the ci gate streamed through the DAG runner via the new
+  `onTaskFinish` tap; STATUS.md refreshes like a terminal `shipkit ci`) and
+  Checks (contracts + discovered `*.check.ts` via the new CheckSuite
+  `onResult` tap — cached replays flagged, TTL layers intact). Panels are
+  render-free data (`TuiPanelDef`: rows + wire-format detail lines); repos
+  append their own via repo.config `tui: { panels: [...] }`. The view (ink +
+  mobx `makeAutoObservable`) normalizes wire lines to one visual language
+  (✓/✗/⚠/~/»). `asks.emptyText` config personalizes the `shipkit asks`
+  all-clear line.
+
+- floor integrity (zero-config O6): with no package.json script,
+  `imports:check`/`cycles` fill from the bundled rvlib-ts-tools dep and
+  `typecheck` from the repo's tsc; a slot nothing can fill prints a
+  `skip: <id> (reason)` line — a thin gate is never silent. `defineRepo`
+  now REJECTS unknown top-level and `defaults` keys. `shipkit init` prints
+  how each floor slot resolved and gains `--bin <cli.ts path>` for
+  in-repo-source consumers (scripts become `bun <path> <cmd>`).
+- STATUS.md: `writeStatus(root, …)` in the lib is THE writer — timestamp +
+  RED/GREEN verdict + fenced compact render, atomic (tmp + rename),
+  lock-guarded (concurrent runner skips with a WARN; stale locks stolen).
+  `shipkit ci` and `shipkit check` refresh it by default (`status: false`
+  opts out).
+- check: `*.check.ts` auto-discovery is THE registration — `shipkit check`
+  scans the repo (skips node_modules/dist/tmp/references + dot-dirs) and
+  runs each file as a subprocess: wire output parsed back (`parseWireOutput`
+  exported), exit code is truth, non-zero exit with no FAIL line still fails
+  loud. Checks running their own CheckSuite are never double-cached; plain
+  checks get a 30m orchestrator TTL; `--fresh` busts every layer and travels
+  to children.
+- core: ONE spawn-with-timeout (`spawnWithTimeout`, exported) — task runner
+  and `CheckCtx.exec` now share it (binary resolved before spawn, streamed
+  output, SIGTERM→SIGKILL escalation); duplicate implementations deleted.
+
+- assets: the atelier folded in as the `src/assets/` surface — asset-kind
+  registry (defineKit/defineKind), ComfyUI + procedural-canvas generators,
+  roll-and-pick studio server, metadata editor panels, kits/identity
+  (favicon/logo/OG), `rvlib-shipkit/vite` save-endpoint factory. CLI:
+  `shipkit assets serve|fill|add|gen|identity|check`.
+- CLI rebuilt on clipanion (one command per file, `Command.Usage` help with
+  categories + examples, testable contexts); wire output contract unchanged
+  and frozen by a CLI-level test. Every value-taking option carries a
+  description — per-command `--help` renders a clean synopsis + Options
+  table.
+- deps: @napi-rs/canvas + sharp (assets), clipanion (CLI), ink + react +
+  mobx + mobx-react-lite (tui), rvlib-ts-tools (imports/cycles floor for
+  every repo).
