What ships is not what the world sees. Three release rails exist end to end and two of them are structurally dark. This is the today flow, the target flow, the last three releases as a case study, and the five decisions that reroute the gap.
Click any stage for detail. The five decisions below re-annotate the target view live, so flip a decision then scroll back up.
Reconstructed from CHANGELOG.md and git tags (the automated recon agent for this window returned null). All three landed in the same silent window.
| Version | Date | What shipped | What the world saw |
|---|---|---|---|
v10.0.0-alpha.43 |
2026-08-19 tagged 08-20 |
doctor credential-guard fix, stdin-operand hook fix, mktemp TMPDIR fix, glyph budget docs | Changelog page auto-updated. GitHub Release + video assets attached. No feed, no post, no announce. Alpha skip band: effectively nothing unless you were already watching the repo. |
v10.0.0-alpha.42 |
2026-08-19 | hook subcount fix, apt-get bound, context7 session cap | Same: auto changelog page + GitHub Release only. Nothing outward. |
v10.0.0-alpha.41 |
2026-08-19 | context7 shipped as a plugin-native MCP server, a genuinely marketable feature | Same. A feature worth announcing fell entirely inside the alpha skip band. |
Platform side, same window: nightly promotes produced #deploys Slack lines (ship_ledger) and CalVer GitHub Releases. No user-facing channel fired; promote_digest flag is off.
What the target flow's four outward surfaces would actually look like for the alpha.41 context7 release, if the gate at #1739 were approved.
context7 ships as a plugin-native MCP server. Pull live docs for any library straight into your Claude Code session.
Standing operator policy: no autonomous public posting without a gate, drafts-first. None of these five decisions add a new bypass around the #1739 ladder. Pick an option and the Target flow above re-annotates.
Inward improvements harden the pipeline that already exists. Outward improvements are the ones that actually change what the world sees.
