agentr news

agentr 0.2.8.4

Released: 2026-06-30

• Removed the redundant trailing “in R” from the package title for CRAN.
• Removed the default backup directory from backup_agent() so write operations require an explicit user-supplied path.
• Updated the README inspection example to write rendered review output under tempdir().

agentr 0.2.8.3

Released: 2026-06-24

• Removed examples from the internal .safe_read_rds() and .safe_save_rds() help pages instead of documenting unexported functions with runnable examples.
• Finalized the CRAN resubmission package after the internal-example cleanup.

agentr 0.2.8.2

Released: 2026-06-19

• Fixed CRAN incoming feasibility notes by replacing README relative file links with absolute GitHub links.
• Replaced the MIT LICENSE file with the CRAN-required DCF license stub for MIT + file LICENSE.

agentr 0.2.8.1

Released: 2026-06-18

• Prepared CRAN-oriented packaging infrastructure without changing package APIs.
• Added a GitHub Actions R CMD check --no-manual --as-cran matrix for macOS, Windows, Ubuntu, and Ubuntu R-devel.
• Updated source-build ignores so repository-only docs, examples, CI files, build artifacts, and local metadata are excluded from CRAN tarballs.
• Removed a tracked .DS_Store artifact and made the function-index documentation test safe for built-package checks.
• Shortened one generated Rd usage default to avoid PDF manual line-width notes.

agentr 0.2.8

Released: 2026-06-16

• Added coding-assistant guidance for optional affective state inference in companion, tutoring, coaching, persona, and long-running relationship-oriented agents.
• Documented local affective-state shapes such as memory/affective_state.yaml and task-local state/affective_state.yaml, including dimensions, bounds, inertia, decay, event triggers, and human-review rules.
• Updated task code-construction guidance so affective updates use deterministic validation, bounded update and decay, optional LLM signal estimation, and no direct LLM overwrite of canonical affective state.
• Linked affective-state inference from the full-stack task-spec wrapper while keeping it explicitly optional for most task agents.

agentr 0.2.7.13

Released: 2026-06-08

• Added node_kind = "status" for workflow-visible status, mode, checkpoint, and error markers that are not executable actions or resource nodes.
• Updated design review HTML so status nodes remain visible in workflow graphs with a lightweight dashed marker style.
• Improved orthogonal workflow edge routing by assigning separate side ports when multiple edges touch the same side of a node.
• Updated coding-assistant WorkflowSpec inference guidance to use status nodes for failure or recovery states without drawing every possible upstream failure edge.

agentr 0.2.7.12

Released: 2026-06-08

• Tightened WorkflowSpec inference guidance so branch metadata is reserved for real conditional fan-out edges.
• Clarified that guarded sequential steps should record guards on nodes or edge notes, not in edge.condition.
• Updated workflow-only inference validation and public WorkflowSpec docs to prevent condition-only sequential edges from being rendered as branches.

agentr 0.2.7.11

Released: 2026-06-06

• Reordered the design review side panel so linked knowledge, memory, and resources appear above the detail inspector.
• Extended subworkflow modals with their own resource context, detail inspector, and structured feedback controls.
• Scoped subworkflow node, edge, and resource clicks to the modal inspector while preserving the shared feedback JSON export.

agentr 0.2.7.10

Released: 2026-06-06

• Changed design review HTML so clicking a subworkflow badge opens the child workflow in an in-page modal instead of reserving permanent main-page space for task previews.
• Updated render_task_preview() to resolve task-local subworkflow_ref paths and embed child workflow specs into the standalone review bundle when available.
• Clarified workflow/task-family guidance so subworkflow_ref is the preferred editable source and nested_workflow is review-bundle data.

agentr 0.2.7.9

Released: 2026-06-06

• Updated design review HTML so the main workflow graph shows action nodes only, keeping knowledge, memory, file, API, schema, and other resource nodes out of the action-flow diagram.
• Added a contextual “Knowledge, memory, and resource schema” panel that shows only resources linked to the selected action node through resource edges or spec references.
• Restored subworkflow badges for workflow nodes that use either embedded nested workflows or subworkflow_ref links.

agentr 0.2.7.8

Released: 2026-06-06

• Added resource-oriented workflow edge semantics for reads, writes, updates, prompt injection, schema validation, and produced artifacts.
• Updated design review HTML so process-layout workflows place resource nodes in a resource lane, color them separately, label resource edges, and expose source/retrieval/persistence/spec-link metadata in the detail inspector.
• Moved the standalone review renderer JavaScript and CSS into package assets under inst/review/ while preserving the public design_review_html() and export_design_review_html() R APIs.
• Updated coding-assistant inference guidance so KnowledgeSpec and MemorySpec are inferred only when workflow resource nodes, references, retrieval paths, update paths, or validation dependencies make them behavior-shaping.

agentr 0.2.7.7

Released: 2026-06-06

• Removed the unused first-class KnowledgeGraphSpec surface and its dedicated proposal/message lifecycle.
• Reframed graph structure as a representation shape embedded in KnowledgeSpec or MemorySpec, rather than a standalone top-level spec.
• Updated task-local discovery and coding-assistant guidance so projects use workflow_spec.yaml, optional memory_spec.yaml, and optional knowledge_spec.yaml; graph-shaped content now belongs under graph: inside knowledge or memory specs.
• Preserved graph rendering helpers for KnowledgeSpec, MemorySpec, and plain list(nodes, edges) graph representations.

agentr 0.2.7.6

Released: 2026-06-05

• Moved code construction guidance under code_construction/.

agentr 0.2.7.4

Released: 2026-06-05

• Condensed the README into a concise package overview with links to subject-specific documentation.

• Clarified coding-assistant-first scaffolding while preserving R functions as the standardized spec, validation, rendering, and prompt-helper surface.
• Reframed subsystem/capability labels in docs and prompt contracts as optional diagnostic annotations rather than primary runtime specs.

agentr 0.2.7.3

Released: 2026-06-05

• Reframed README and package metadata around specification, review, and coding-assistant scaffolding rather than a cognitive/human-interaction core.
• Clarified that subsystem labels are optional diagnostic node-labeling metadata, not first-class runtime specs.
• Removed the stale docs/manuscript/ asset set and docs/manuscript_assets.md.
• Replaced the old conceptual-figure hub with guidance to generate figures from package-native workflow, memory-schema, schema-shape, knowledge-graph, and review-HTML renderers.

agentr 0.2.7

Released: 2026-06-04

• Added a coding-assistant scaffolding guide that explains repository inspection, task-local YAML specs, review HTML, and Git-backed spec evolution as a complementary path to proposal-state scaffolding.
• Added task-local spec helpers: task_spec_paths(), discover_task_specs(), load_task_specs(), and validate_task_specs().

Released: 2026-05-21

• Added task-family helpers so one workspace can group multiple related tasks under a shared root workflow while keeping each child task reviewable through its own subworkflow reference.
• Added task-family design documentation and review-page task tabs so the main browser preview can switch between child tasks instead of forcing all nested workflows into one narrow detail panel.

• Added the initial LLM scaffolding bridge so external reasoning systems can inspect workflow state through prompts and return machine-readable actions.
• Introduced prompt generation, JSON parsing, method-level validation, reference validation, and constrained action dispatch for scaffolder operations.
• Formalized apply_scaffolder_message() as the translation layer from validated model output into concrete Scaffolder method calls.
• Documented the machine-readable scaffolder message schema and added end-to-end examples for human-guided workflow elicitation.
