AIWG 2026.8.11 - Reliable refresh and discovery

Release date: 2026-08-15 Channel: stable

AIWG 2026.8.11 restores two installation invariants: refreshing a project keeps every installed bundle intact, and deploying a framework leaves discovery ready to use. It also completes the Codex context-budget hardening and incorporates a community contribution that repairs Cockpit's nested test dependencies.

What changed

  • `aiwg refresh --all` redeploys every selected installed bundle through the

active package's verified deployment pipeline. It preserves desired provider artifacts and will not run cleanup after a deployment failure.

  • Fresh and repeated `aiwg use` operations rebuild and synchronize the Fortemi

Core framework cache. Default discover/show works immediately without a manual `aiwg index sync` repair.

  • The packaged prebuilt index is validated at its real installed location,

including manifest, schema, graph, backend, checksum, and item-count checks.

  • Codex provider deployment retains bounded dispatch metadata that keeps the

intended 25-skill kernel and quick-reference surface within provider context budgets.

  • Cockpit's web package and both lockfiles now align with the repository's

Vitest 4 dependency line, contributed through GitHub PR #140.

  • Doctor and deployment integrations retain finite but load-aware timeout

budgets, eliminating false release failures while preserving fail-closed discovery validation.

  • Release-preview tests use isolated temporary provider state for deterministic

local and hosted validation.

Verification

  • A real four-bundle refresh retained `sdlc`, `aiwg-utils`, `agent-loop`, and

`rlm`, along with all 124 deployed Claude agents.

  • Fresh and repeated deployment discovery returned live results; the final

release package contains a validated 3,257-item framework index.

  • Packed-install policy, release discovery parity, package budgets, generated

artifact lint, type checking, and canonical repository CI passed.

Upgrade

Install all AIWG packages at version `2026.8.11`. After upgrading, ask your coding agent to refresh AIWG for the provider you use, then verify the provider reports the intended kernel and quick-reference skills.

Rollback

Roll all three npm packages back together to `2026.8.10`, then redeploy the project's provider assets and regenerate its context files.
