Claude-Autopilot

First public release after the repo was open-sourced (2026-04-30). This release consolidates the v5.4 → v5.5.2 work: full Vercel deploy adapter, lazy-loadable LLM SDKs, and a truly framework-agnostic migrate skill.

Note on npm: GitHub Actions billing is paused; the tag-triggered publish workflow won't fire on this tag. The latest npm version remains 5.2.2 until billing is restored or a manual publish runs. Build directly from this tag with git clone && npm install && npm run build.

v5.5.2 — Generalize /migrate (PR #68)

The dispatcher was already framework-agnostic (reads .autopilot/stack.md, runs migrate.envs.<env>.command via spawn(shell:false)). The bug was in the user-facing doc: skills/migrate/SKILL.md hardcoded a Supabase command, so anyone running migrate@1 in a Rails / Alembic / Django / Prisma repo got broken instructions.

• skills/migrate/SKILL.md rewritten with worked examples for Rails, Alembic, Django, golang-migrate, Prisma, Drizzle, dbmate, Flyway, supabase-cli, and custom scripts. Explicit "when to use migrate-supabase instead" callout.
• Detector defaultCommand fills for prisma-push, drizzle-push, golang-migrate, typeorm so claude-autopilot init produces a working stack.md on first try.
• README migrate paragraph lists recognized toolchains and shows a non-Supabase example.

v5.5.1 — openai SDK now optional (PR #67)

All four LLM SDKs are now optionalDependencies with dynamic-import + friendly install hints. Users with --omit=optional shed ~26 MB total and only install the SDK matching their API key.

• scripts/autoregress.ts converted to loadOpenAI() (last direct import OpenAI outside the adapter layer)
• Council runner already handles missing-synth-SDK gracefully — returns status: "partial" with the install-hint surfaced via the synthesis error field

v5.5 — Lazy-load LLM SDKs + Vercel auth doctor (PR #66)

• @anthropic-ai/sdk, @google/generative-ai, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk → optionalDependencies with dynamic import via src/adapters/sdk-loader.ts. Friendly GuardrailError on MODULE_NOT_FOUND points at the exact npm install command.
• Phase 6 of v5.4 spec — Vercel auth doctor. claude-autopilot doctor detects deploy.adapter: vercel and warns when VERCEL_TOKEN is missing.
• LLM SDK install-state surface in doctor — shows which optional SDKs are actually installed.
• 9 new tests, 922/922 pass.

v5.4 — Vercel deploy adapter (PRs #59, #61, #63, #64)

Full Vercel adapter shipped across four self-eating PRs (autopilot implemented its own next feature for each phase). See DEMO.md for the full proof set.

• Phase 1 (PR #59) — deploy via POST /v13/deployments + status polling. ~$10, 22 min, 9 files / 20 tests, bugbot caught + autopilot fixed 1 real bug.
• Phase 2 (PR #61) — log streaming via SSE+NDJSON. ~$3, 25 min, 7 files.
• Phase 3 (PR #63) — rollback + status CLI subverbs. ~$2.50, 10 min, 6 files.
• Phase 4 (PR #64) — auto-rollback on health-check failure (closes the deploy loop). ~$2-3, 25 min, 9 new tests.

GuardrailError taxonomy mapping covers auth / invalid_config / transient_network. 404-after-POST race retry. PR comment upsert with <!-- claude-autopilot-deploy --> marker.

Public launch (2026-04-30)

• Repo flipped public (axledbetter/claude-autopilot)
• README adds MIT/GitHub/npm badges and open-source tagline
• CONTRIBUTING.md refreshed: clone URL, 922-test count, optional-deps install path, self-eat dispatch as a contribution workflow

What's next (carry-over)

1. Restore GitHub Actions billing → re-trigger v5.5.2 workflow OR manual npm publish
2. Help reorganization (two-level command groups for the 25+ flat verbs)
3. First-class Fly.io / Render adapters (same pattern as Vercel, ~half the work each)
4. Brainstorming → autopilot composition gap (when /autopilot invokes /brainstorm, gates require manual approval)
