ReleasePort's take
Light signalLegacy compliance template names are now deprecated and emit a startup warning; policy presets have been renamed to neutral severity levels 'strict' and 'balanced'.
Why it matters: Deprecation triggers warnings on legacy preset names, requiring updates before removal. Adopt the new 'strict' and 'balanced' preset naming for future compatibility.
Summary
AI summaryPolicy presets renamed from compliance templates with deprecation warnings and removal of the unused "open" preset.

Full changelog
Patch release. Bundles the policy-preset rename, curated harness inspection tools, funding wiring, LICENSE attribution to JAI Studios, and a public session-isolation audit.
Highlights
- Policy presets, not compliance templates.
HIPAA/PCI-DSS/SOC2/GDPRwere liability theater on a two-month-old MIT repo. Renamed to neutral severity presetsstrictandbalanced. Legacy names still boot as deprecated aliases with a startup warning. - Read-only harness tools in the curated MCP profile.
harness.list_runs,harness.get_status,harness.get_tracenow ship in the default tool surface so agents can introspect convergence runs. Convergence runs, drift checks, candidate management, and graduation still gate behindMCP_TOOL_PROFILE=full. - Session isolation audit published.
docs/session-isolation-audit.mdwalks per-session boundary handling acrossshared_browser_nodeanddocker_ephemeralmodes. TL;DR: browser-level state is isolated viabrowser.new_context(); auth profiles are copied per session; the only real shared surface in the default mode is the takeover plane and process kernel state, both upgradable viadocker_ephemeral. - GitHub Sponsors wired.
.github/FUNDING.ymlenables the Sponsors widget on the repo. Tip pointers consolidated inTIPS.md. - LICENSE attribution updated to JAI Studios.
- Restored convergence harness positioning in the README as a top-line feature rather than an experimental footnote.
Compatibility
- No behavior change for existing deployments beyond the deprecation warning when using the legacy compliance template names. Switch
COMPLIANCE_TEMPLATE=HIPAAtoCOMPLIANCE_TEMPLATE=strictto clear the warning. - The
openpreset added during the rename pass has been removed; it was never advertised. If you set it, switch to leavingCOMPLIANCE_TEMPLATEunset.
See CHANGELOG.md for the full notes.
Breaking Changes
- Removed the unused `open` preset for `COMPLIANCE_TEMPLATE`.
- Renamed compliance template presets (`HIPAA`, `PCI-DSS`, `SOC2`, `GDPR`) to neutral severity presets `strict` and `balanced`; legacy names are deprecated aliases that trigger a startup warning.
