AIWG 2026.8.12 - Verifiable artifacts and research labs

Release date: 2026-08-17 Channel: stable

AIWG 2026.8.12 extends verification from individual packages to the full path an artifact travels: marketplace exchange, provider transformation, web-backed release delivery, and local consumption. It also ships six reproducible research and red-team addons, strengthens self-hosted Gitea configuration, and makes the Fortemi conformance path more portable across release runners.

What changed

  • Artifact verification now has stable outcomes, trust-root and trust-state

contracts, attestation emission, a public API, CLI handling, schemas, and adversarial conformance coverage.

  • Marketplace v2 bundles can carry portable evidence, provider deployments can

authenticate transformation receipts against source inventories, and signed web-release descriptors bridge provenance across release surfaces.

  • Five research experiment addons cover century-readiness review, long-context

retrieval benchmarking, natural-language evaluation, orchestration topology comparison, and premortem-v2 analysis.

  • A synthetic monitorability red-team addon exercises unlabeled and

monitor-constrained scenarios with reproducible fixtures and evidence.

  • Project setup can designate Gitea explicitly for ambiguous self-hosted

remotes, while legacy force-push policy values are normalized during repair.

  • Doctor uses Git's effective ignore rules, including negations and local or

global excludes, instead of relying only on textual `.gitignore` inspection.

  • Fortemi shard conformance verifies host capabilities, provisions pinned Rust,

and fetches receipt references atomically on the selected Gitea runner.

Verification

  • Public artifact-trust schemas and every stable verifier outcome are covered by

unit, integration, lightweight-CLI, and schema-lint tests.

  • Provider transformation receipt tests cover source inventory authentication,

expected first-use state, deployment verification, and web-mode packaging.

  • Research addon fixtures and recorded evidence are exercised by integration

tests, including monitorability threshold transitions.

  • Release validation checks synchronized package/plugin versions, TypeScript,

production builds, generated documentation, metadata, the full CI suite, and Fortemi discovery parity.

Upgrade

Install all AIWG packages at version `2026.8.12`. After upgrading, refresh AIWG for each provider you use so provider outputs can be checked against the new transformation receipt and artifact-trust contracts.

Rollback

Roll all three npm packages back together to `2026.8.11`, then redeploy the project's provider assets and regenerate its context files.
