AIWG 2026.6.11 - "Tiered provider-context bridge"

Released: 2026-06-23 Channel: stable (`npm install -g aiwg`)

This release shrinks the context an agent loads at startup. Generated provider bridges now route to capabilities through a tiered model instead of inlining a long deployed-artifact index, so default context stays small while the full detail stays one `aiwg discover` away.

What changed

Tiered provider-context bridge (#1651, #1652)

`AGENTS.md` and its provider twins are the always-loaded bridge an agent reads first. They previously rendered every deployed capability as a long-form index, which grew with the installation. They now render a Tier 2 quickref capability map: per-section purpose, when-to-use, curated `aiwg discover` phrases, and a `aiwg show` deep-load target. Full Tier 3 bodies (skills, rules, agents, behaviors) are reached on demand, not carried by default.

On a 1,000-artifact fixture the rendered bridge drops from 106 KiB to 7.4 KiB (93% smaller) with no loss of reachability — `aiwg discover` + `aiwg show` resolve any artifact the long index used to inline.

A new size guard keeps it that way:

npm run lint:context-sizes
# Context bridge ceiling: 8.0 KiB.
#   - AGENTS.md: 7.3 KiB (ok)
#   - WARP.md: 3.9 KiB (ok)
#   - .hermes.md: 0.4 KiB (ok)
#   - .github/copilot-instructions.md: 3.9 KiB (ok)

See `docs/context-tier-model.md` and `docs/context-tier-pilot-report.md` for the model and measurements.

Cockpit live-VM Bridge validation (#1658)

The Cockpit live UAT matrix had been posting VM provision requests straight to the executor, bypassing the Bridge's SSH-key injection for qemu launches — so the VM target failed with `No SSH public key found`. Provisioning now routes through the Bridge, which validated the agentic-sandbox v2 `ssh_key` passthrough end to end: the VM target now provisions and boots against a current executor. (`apps/cockpit` is excluded from the published npm package; this is development and validation work.)

Docsite Docs Map

Override styling for the pagenary-rendered Docs Map — SVG sizing and on-hover node labels.

Upgrade

npm install -g aiwg     # 2026.6.11
aiwg version            # -> 2026.6.11 [stable]

No migration required. The tiered bridge is regenerated by `aiwg use` / `aiwg regenerate`; existing deployments pick it up on the next refresh.
