Full changelog

What's new in 3.16.0 — ADR-164 AgentBBS Business Autopilot

This MINOR release lands Phases 1-4 of ADR-164 — a federated business-management autopilot layer built over ruflo-federation + agentbbs.

What you get

7 new MCP tools (345 → 352)

Federation BBS (4 tools) — register/publish/watch/human-join over agentbbs@~0.1.0 as a federation-peer kind, with optional-dep + graceful-degraded fallbacks.

Business pods (2 tools) — business_pod_validate + business_pod_route_backend for the new domain-pod scaffolding.

http_fetch (1 tool) — security-default-rejects (private IPs, auth headers) with URL allowlist + timeout + response-size cap.

7 business pod templates

Pre-built JSON templates for sales / marketing / finance / ops / support / hr / exec, each with per-pod PII policy (SOC2 / GDPR), budget caps, schedules, and routing affinity.

Atomic SQLite budget tracker (ADR-164.1)

Closes the "Expired Commit Leak" found in peer review: even if an LLM call exceeds the reservation window, the spend is recorded against the room's monthly cap with a COMMIT_AFTER_EXPIRY warning. Behind CLAUDE_FLOW_BBS_ATOMIC_BUDGET=1 for opt-in rollout (per ADR-164.1 §12).

ruflo federation trust elevate CLI

Founder-bootstrap escape hatch (ADR-164 §3.5.4) — bypasses the 500-interaction trust threshold for new federation peers, with mandatory --reason + --audit flags.

Architecture (BBS-as-special-tier-peer)

A BBS room is a federation node. send to its node-id = broadcast to the room. ruflo nodes subscribe by role; humans join via the agentbbs web UI. The bridge is 4 new MCP tools — no new transports, no new value objects, no new entities.

Upstream coordination

ruvnet/agentbbs#3 merged — adds the ruflo-integration regression-guard CI workflow that runs on every PR + nightly cron.

Verified
