Changelog

The grower's law goes live, the charts show up, and shell syntax survives the form

• Arm the grower's law — a product-surface metric on grow
• Stop shell syntax from being argv-split, on both surfaces
• Use the long-form exclude pathspec in the grow metric

The packs get a front door, the loop gets a brake, and the phone gets a fit

• Brake the budget mid-cycle; make the demand gate see what the build sees
• Give the packs a front door on the dashboard
• Put the per-run Cancel inside the card frame, behind a confirm naming the run

The signal loop closes: dismissable failures, archivable signals, and packs that respect your manifest

• Give a handled signal an exit on both surfaces
• Act on dogfood round 8 — pack retargeting, honest hire, dismissable failures, visible cancel, isolated runs that see the world

Grouped smoke-only warnings and a legacy-tool cleanup in the installer

• Group same-cause smoke-only warnings into one violation
• Retire the legacy 'alc' tool before installing alc-runtime

A real back gesture, honest team verbs, and a safe way off the roster

• Warn when a Blueprint's only check is the placeholder that cannot fail
• Enqueue a bare Blueprint, and let a passing tick branch say so
• Make hiring explicable, reachable and honest — round 5's findings, all acted on

Two friction logs answered: an honest landing, a narrated Verify, one loop verb

• Narrate the Verify phase and keep the filename in engine activity
• Lead the Dashboard with the work that needs a human
• Lead run listings with the task instead of the stem

The roster, Retire and the back arrow stop misreporting

• Put the mark in the phone header, at no cost in space
• Give the app the mark the site and the README already use
• Stop the phone's back arrow from outliving the trip it belongs to

The root URL renders again

• One command that installs, updates and fixes PATH
• Put the install command where someone arriving would look
• Mount the WebSocket provider above the screens that have no project

A first run in plain language, and a verdict that does not overclaim

• Let an existing repository become an ALC project from the UI
• One field for someone who has not learned the vocabulary yet
• Say what happened, for someone who does not read Scorecards

Pick, clone or create a project without leaving the UI

• Switch projects by searching, not by filling in a form
• Put the ALC mark in the control room
• Browse for a project instead of typing its path

The fleet, the inbox, and a web IDE that works on a phone

• Serve the fleet, the inbox, branch review and optional auth
• Rebuild the control room for phone, tablet and desktop
• A landing page and documentation site

Fix the suggested first-run command syntax

• Suggest the syntax `alc run` actually accepts in the Next step

Engine auto-detection and a single post-init next step

• Pick the scaffolded default_engine by probing PATH for a real CLI
• End `alc init` with one concrete next action

Lockfile-aware Python check resolution and audit hints

• Run Python checks through the env manager its lockfile declares
• Tell "declared but not installed" apart from "not a project tool"
• Stop printing "No upgrades proposed" above an informational list

First PyPI publish (alc-runtime via Trusted Publishing)

• Finish the alc-runtime rename — stragglers the first pass missed

Never commit a provisioned dep symlink

• Never commit a provisioned dep (e.g. the node_modules symlink)

.alc/.gitignore allowlist (runtime dirs can't leak)

• Make the .alc/.gitignore an allowlist so new runtime dirs can't leak

Count direct runs in audit/Mix Health; discard-aware + windowed

• Count direct `alc run` work in audit, Mix Health, and the scorecard
• Drop a discarded run from the tally + window Mix Health for scale

Gitignore loop/specialist runtime state

• Gitignore loop + specialist runtime state too

Gitignore runtime .alc dirs + discard self-heals orphaned worktrees

• Gitignore the runtime .alc dirs (runs/queue/metrics)
• Force-remove an orphaned worktree so the branch delete succeeds

Actionable smoke-only WARN (names a populated check_set)

• Point the smoke-only WARN at a populated check_set when one exists

PATH-aware init blueprint checks

• Add `alc land` and `alc discard`, and let a committing flow isolate
• Add `alc enqueue` and `alc new`
• Add `alc status`, `alc runs` and `alc audit`
