Release-Notes

Generated with timbers draft release-notes --last 20 | claude -p --model opus Release Notes New Features You can now exclude housekeeping files from pending detection per-repo by adding a .timbersignore file at the repo root, using the same prefix/suffix grammar as built-in skip rules. Reverts of already-documented commits are now auto-skipped from pending detection — the original entry serves as the audit trail, no fresh entry required. Set TIMBERS_SKIP_CROSS_AGENT_DEBT=1 to bypass the post-commit gate when working alongside other agents whose undocumented commits arrived via merge. timbers status --verbose now reports how many infrastructure-skipped commits have landed since the latest entry, so you can spot over-eager .timbersignore rules; --json always emits the field as infra_skipped_since_entry. timbers prime now coaches agents to draft PR descriptions from your ledger entries using the pr-description template when opening pull requests without a dictated body. Improvements timbers prime now produces a compact session-start payload by default, preserving operational ledger safeguards while spending less context on repeated coaching. Use --full (or guide) for the long-form version. Compact prime output keeps full, resolvable tb_<timestamp>_<sha> entry IDs so you can paste them straight into timbers show. Compact prime now hints when PRIME.md overrides the default workflow content, and --json correctly reports mode: full when requested. The post-commit hook no longer nudges you to log when there’s no actionable pending work — .beads/-only commits, ignored files, and skipped vendor changes stop triggering false reminders. Multi-agent friendly: the pending gate now follows your branch’s first-parent line, so another agent’s undocumented commits arriving via merge don’t block your work. Lockfile-only commits are now skipped by default across major ecosystems (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, go.sum, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock). Manifest changes (package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml) still stay pending. Provider model aliases for Anthropic, OpenAI, and Gemini now resolve to current official model IDs, so draft and generate commands use supported defaults. The built-in devblog template now surfaces operator intent and human-agent collaboration, with sharper tone calibration and tighter length budget. The built-in pr-description, changelog, decision-log, release-notes, sprint-report, and standup templates have been tuned for their specific audiences, with anti-fabrication guards against soft invention of emotions, themes, metrics, and benefits. ADR drafts now include Status and Date fields with explicit supersession support. release-notes drafts honestly flag breaking changes whose migration steps aren’t in the entries, rather than silently dropping them. Breaking Changes BREAKING: .timbersignore moved from .timbers/.timbersignore to the repo root (.timbersignore) to match the convention of .gitignore, .dockerignore, and .npmignore. If you created one against a pre-release build, move it to your repo root.
