AIWG 2026.7.20 - Portable project resources and measured discovery

Released: 2026-07-26 Channel: stable

AIWG 2026.7.20 makes project-local operation more portable and makes discovery quality measurable. Artifact-root handling now reaches the remaining context, storage, configuration, Smith, update, and extension lifecycle paths, while a checked-in relevance benchmark records why lexical discovery remains the production default.

Highlights

  • Portable artifact roots - context generation, storage, configuration,

MCPsmith, Toolsmith, update services, and project-local bundles consistently honor the shared project artifact resolver and `AIWG_ARTIFACTS_PATH`.

  • Discovery evaluation - `aiwg index eval-discovery` runs an 80-query,

eight-capability benchmark and reports ranking, hard-negative, latency, index-size, and memory evidence for the production paths and experimental candidates.

  • Provider-aware orchestration guidance - generated bootstrap context

chooses bounded worker roles and explains each provider's actual execution model without transferring integration responsibility away from the primary agent.

  • Kernel surface conformance - provider deployment now has integration

coverage that proves each supported platform receives the same 24-skill kernel inventory and no standard skills, with unit coverage for project quickref destinations.

  • Project-local lifecycle hardening - packaging, promotion, removal,

discovery, and updates now agree on validated standalone plugin contracts and artifact locations.

  • Local media adapters - media-curator transcription and diarization skills

include local adapter scripts and synchronized framework/plugin guidance.

  • Code-to-docs reconciliation - managed addon and framework documentation

was regenerated from authoritative component sources before release.
