AIWG 2026.8.4 - Governed missions and complete plugin delivery

Release date: 2026-08-03 Channel: stable

AIWG 2026.8.4 makes the complete Claude Code plugin catalog independently installable and strengthens the governance, recovery, and audit contracts used by durable multi-agent missions.

What changed

  • The Claude Code marketplace now publishes all 40 packaged frameworks and

addons. Cached plugins retain their complete runtime-relative dependency trees, so independently installed bundles remain self-contained.

  • `aiwg storage import-corpus` now previews and ingests local research text

through provider-neutral storage, while authenticated Fortemi HTTP/SSE connections resolve credentials from environment references without storing their values.

  • Shared-host mission dispatch uses an explicit admission contract for

resource, isolation, and policy requirements, with stable evidence for both admitted and denied workloads.

  • Operator approvals, denials, overrides, and expirations share a canonical

audit representation across HITL drivers and downstream consumers.

  • Mission operators can pause, resume, cancel, retry, and recover durable work

after conductor restarts. Cockpit projects those controls together with live mission, approval, capability, and audit views.

  • Research corpus snapshots and queries preserve curated Fortemi retrieval

evidence across package boundaries.

  • Claude Code trace hooks now receive the required `start` and `stop`

subcommands, and refresh repairs previously generated no-argument entries.

  • Release mirroring verifies the commit behind signed annotated tags instead

of comparing tag object IDs directly.

Verification

The release candidate is required to pass version lockstep, TypeScript, unit/integration tests, the production build, stable-channel UAT, and the configured Gitea CI workflows. Post-tag verification checks both forge release surfaces, checksums, package publication, and the installer fetched from the published GitHub release.

Package matrix

All three packages publish in CalVer lockstep:

[email protected]
@aiwg/[email protected]
@aiwg/[email protected]

Upgrade

Full local-corpus distribution:

npm install --global [email protected]

Lightweight signed-web distribution:

npm install --global @aiwg/[email protected]

Install or refresh Cockpit through the base CLI to keep its version in lockstep:

aiwg use cockpit
aiwg cockpit

Rollback

Roll back all three packages together to `2026.8.3`. That version does not contain the complete plugin marketplace, durable mission governance additions, Fortemi retrieval preservation, or trace-hook registration fix described above.
