v2.32.0 Breaking risk
⚠ Upgrade required

Breaking changes
  • Removed `great-cto scan` CLI command and its `--severity` / `--scanner` flags
  • Removed `great-cto list-rules` CLI command
  • Removed `scan` and `list_rules` MCP tools (now only 7 tools remain)
Full changelog

Removed: AgentShield scanner

The bundled AgentShield static scanner has been fully removed. It was an
AI-security pattern scanner (OWASP LLM Top 10) that shipped its own CLI
commands, MCP tools, rule files, and SARIF/JUnit output. Pre-implementation
threat modelling is now owned entirely by the ai-security-reviewer agent,
which is a better fit for the gated-pipeline model.

Breaking — removed CLI surface:

  • great-cto scan command (+ --severity / --scanner flags)
  • great-cto list-rules command
  • scan and list_rules MCP tools (MCP now exposes 7 tools:
    detect_archetype, estimate_cost, query_decisions, project_status,
    cost_summary, pipeline_stages, recent_verdicts)
  • The ~/.great_cto/guardrails.yml file is no longer created on bootstrap
  • agentshield-rules/ rule files dropped from the published npm package

great-cto ci survives — the command now runs archetype-drift and
budget checks only (--no-archetype / --no-budget to skip). Existing CI
pipelines keep working but no longer fail on security findings.

Unchanged: the secret-scan pre-commit hook is a separate subsystem and
is unaffected. Per-file opt-out remains // great_cto:allow-secrets; the
whole hook honours GREAT_CTO_DISABLE_SECRET_SCAN=1.
