## [0.2.0] - 2026-04-21

### Added

- 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

### Changed

- 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)
