[0.2.0] - 2026-04-21

YAML frontmatter convention on all inner-loop artifacts (type, version, parent, derived-from) so downstream phases can trace provenance across the Flowers cycle
Preservation + edit copy pair at every Carpenter and Judge delivery: draft-N.md + draft-N-human-edits.md (Carpenter), final-draft-X.md + final-draft-X-human-edits.md (Judge light-polish route)
Carpenter Step 6: post-delivery edit catalog with AskUserQuestion routing the marked-up draft to Architect (structural edits) or Judge (polish edits)
Architect Return-from-Carpenter variant: regenerates the outline as outline-N+1.md when receiving structural rework from the Carpenter
Handling Fool Output sections in Architect (accepts structural revisions) and Judge (accepts tonal-only revisions), with install recommendation pointing to https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/tree/main/skills/the-fool when the-fool is absent
Madman Step 6: recommended thesis stress-test via the-fool before the Whirlybird phase
Whirlybird Step 1 acknowledges optional Fool pass between Madman and Whirlybird
Judge three-signal aggregation: auto-propagate (strikethroughs and direct rewrites, applied unconditionally), brackets-to-resolve (user commentary with proposed AI resolutions), detection findings (5-pass output)
Judge routing decision (full Carpenter rebuild vs light polish) presented via a single AskUserQuestion call covering every decision at once

Judge consolidated report format now includes auto-propagate and brackets-to-resolve sections alongside detection findings, plus a routing recommendation
Judge Post-Edit Summary template split into two variants (Light Polish route, Full Carpenter Rebuild route)
Carpenter Citation Standard renumbered from Step 6 to Step 7 (now follows the routing step)
