Releases
DevArch evolved from itself.
Every shipped change, newest first. The rules were forged building the thing that enforces them — so the changelog is the case study.
v4.1.0Current
2026-06-05
Decision-aware planning
session-planner now reads your recorded decisions first — ADRs, the project profile, DDD notation, and the last session's open items — and lets them shape the plan. Every plan carries a “References consulted” list, and the new /devarch:plan-review skill adversarially checks each phase against them.
v4.0.0
2026-06-01
Self-contained installer, registry, and offline licensing — DevArch is now a product
One-command, no-clone install (devarch-universal.sh) to ~/.devarch; a single global ruleset via @import; a certbot-style registry; offline ES256 licenses verified with no phone-home; an isolated container kit; and seat-based purchase through Polar.
v3.3.0
2026-05-30
Tuned and validated for Claude Opus 4.8
Extends prompt-literalism guidance through Opus 4.8 and adds a rule-firing validation harness so each new model is a re-validation, not a guess. No rule changes — a sharpening pass.
v3.2.0
2026-05-09
Session isolation and per-session file tracking
A 6-char hex session ID namespaces gate and state files so concurrent sessions never collide, and per-session file tracking gives the work-summary-writer an authoritative list of changes.
v3.1.0
2026-05-08
Finalize skill audit and fix
v3.0.0
2026-05-05
Tuned for Claude Opus 4.7
Retunes the rules for a model that follows instructions more literally — triggers, overrides, and templates sharpened for prompt literalism.
v2.5.0
2026-05-01
Multi-ADR review mode
v2.3.0
2026-04-24
Rule 8b — Co-Located Wire-Type Sharing
v2.2.0
2026-04-23
Integration Reality — the No-Stub-Under-Test rule
A phase named after an integration must have a test that drives the real subprocess, runtime, or migration. A stub of an owned dependency can't be the acceptance gate.
v2.1.0
2026-04-23
Boundary Statements and the boundary-check hook
v1.8.0
2026-04-19
Trial license with IP protection

2026-04-11
ADR conversation gate and /architect-review
v1.4.0
2026-04-06
Behavior Statements, Test Derivation, and Test Grading
Every side-effect function gets a structured statement before any test is written, tests are derived from it, and the suite is graded RED / YELLOW / GREEN.
v1.3.0
2026-03-19
Progressive Capability Activation
Activate DevArch's deeper capabilities (e.g. DDD) only when a project's complexity demands them, rather than carrying everything from day one.

2026-03-14
Audit and cleanup
v1.1.x
2026-03-06 — 2026-03-14
