Full changelog

Fixed

  • /chameleon-journey asks before spending. The skill documented the cost (~$38, ~65 min, $40
    cap) but its Run section went straight to the spawning command, with no step that puts the
    decision to the user -- so a bare /chameleon-journey could start an hour-long billed run
    unprompted. That contradicts the project's own testing policy, which says of this exact harness:
    "Run before a release, not on every /qa. Ask before spending." The skill now requires a free
    --dry-run preflight, a stated projection, and an affirmative confirmation before the first
    Claude-spawning command; --dry-run and --list stay ungated, and an explicit authorization in
    the user's own message still skips the prompt. Found by driving all 14 slash commands as real
    headless sessions.
