v0.8.2

govctl v0.8.2

This release adds first-class controlled-vocabulary tags for governance artifacts and fixes a regression in clause text editing.

Added

tags fields are now available on all five artifact types: RFC, clause, ADR, work item, and guard.
Added govctl tag new, govctl tag delete, and govctl tag list, including usage counts.
govctl check now validates artifact tags against the configured allowed tag list.
Added --tag filtering on rfc, clause, adr, work, and guard list commands.

Fixed

govctl clause edit <ID> text --stdin now works without requiring an explicit --set.

Upgrade Notes

No artifact format migration is required for this release.
If you want to use controlled tags, configure the allowed tag list in your project and then apply tags through the new tag commands.

govctl v0.8.1

This is a patch release focused on Codex agent generation ergonomics.

Added

--dir now overrides the output directory directly, without requiring config edits.

Upgrade Notes

No migration step is required for existing repositories.
This release does not change governance artifact formats or release workflow contracts.

v0.8.0

v0.8.0

Breaking Changes

RFC and Clause legacy JSON write paths are no longer supported.
RFC/Clause mutation and lifecycle operations now assume TOML as the canonical writable format.
Repositories that still contain legacy JSON RFC or clause artifacts must run govctl migrate before using those commands.

This is why this release is 0.8.0 rather than a patch release: it introduces a public CLI capability expansion and a breaking change in legacy artifact handling.

Highlights

Introduced the canonical path-first edit surface:
- govctl <resource> edit <ID> <path> --set
- govctl <resource> edit <ID> <path> --add
- govctl <resource> edit <ID> <path> --remove
- govctl <resource> edit <ID> <path> --tick
Routed existing set / add / remove / tick verbs through the same canonical edit planning path.
Generalized nested edit resolution so object and array paths work at arbitrary supported depth.
Simplified command planning and hardened CLI help so help text is a more reliable agent-facing contract.
Kept the canonical edit surface while rejecting the heavier ADR schema redesign; ADR-0038 supersedes ADR-0036.

Fixed

Converted command paths now emit explicit DiagnosticCode values with stable formatting for automation.
User-facing expected failures no longer fall back to temporary uncoded anyhow messages.
Legacy JSON-only RFC/clause lifecycle commands now fail with a migrate-first diagnostic instead of a misleading not-found error.
Concurrency and lock behavior for canonical edit paths were tightened and regression-tested.

Upgrade Notes

If your repository is already on TOML-governed artifacts, no special migration step is needed.
If you still have legacy JSON RFC or clause artifacts, run:
