[0.1.0] — 2025-05-27

Initial release.

Added

• Core engine: init, verify, guard, log, decide, status, resume, progress, watch CLI commands
• State machine: RunPhase enum (Setup → Baseline → Iterating → Complete/Blocked) with typed transitions
• Results logging: TSV format with iteration, commit, metric, delta, guard, status, description columns
• State persistence: state.json with full run context, resume support for interrupted sessions
• Git integration: libgit2-based revert and hard-reset rollback strategies, worktree status detection
• Verify system: scalar and metrics_json output formats, command screening for dangerous patterns
• Escalation protocol: 3-tier (refine → pivot → web search → stop) triggered by consecutive discards
• Lessons log: Markdown-based learnings that persist across sessions, with search and tail queries
• 12 subcommands: improve, debug, fix, security, scenario, predict, learn, reason, probe, evals, ship, plan
• Exec mode: Non-interactive CI/CD mode — reads config from stdin, emits JSON lines
• Background runtime: runtime run managed relaunch loop plus start/status/supervise/stop artifacts, detached launch control, and relaunch/stop/needs_human supervisor recommendations
• Parallel runtime: parallel prepare/run/closeout/cleanup manages worker worktrees, records crashes/timeouts, cherry-picks verified winners, and logs one authoritative retained batch row
• Handoff system: Structured JSON handoff between modes for chained workflows
• 11 hook handlers: session_init, session_end, iteration_context, stop_check, scout_block, dangerous_cmd, simplify_gate, compaction_reanchor, privacy_block, dev_rules_reminder, subagent_context
• Claude Code plugin: .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest with hook definitions
• Codex skill: .agents/skills/autoresearch/ for direct Codex installs, plus plugins/autoresearch/ for the local Codex plugin marketplace
• OpenCode package: .opencode/ commands, skill package, and hidden docs-manager helper agent
• Agent commands: commands/autoresearch.md root + 12 subcommand files
• Reference docs: 27 protocol and workflow reference documents
• Release profile: opt-level = "z", LTO, strip, panic = "abort" — about 3MB binary with a 5MB contributor-gate ceiling
