Deep-module coach.
Patch over 4.5.0. Hot paths and deepening candidates from residual you already have—plus upgrade what’s new so installers know what to try. Not a score. Gate unchanged. No required config migration.
Upgrade
Get 4.5.5
After upgrade, read the Suggested improvements block
(JSON whatsNew) for try/inspect actions. Doctor prints
deep-module coach + improvement compass — both notAScore.
What changed
In plain English.
Deep-module coach
Doctor and HTML name hot paths (recent churn) and deepening candidates from existing residual only. Missing git history → unavailable honesty. Never invents. Never flips the gate.
Seam / depth vocabulary
Skills teach deep modules, named seams, and the deletion test— small interface, hidden complexity. No depth score.
Two-axis done
Architecture residual (doctor/compass) and feature residual (your ticket) stay separate. Enforce green ≠ feature done.
Upgrade what’s new
ark upgrade lists what to try: coach, compass, session
honesty, two-axis done, self-service write-path labels.
Session honesty (4.5.x)
Status projects improvement-compass modes
full | subset | unavailable.
Incomplete facts never invent green residual.
Improvement compass (4.4+)
Residual lenses from sensors you already have. Always
notAScore. Out-of-scope stays honest.
Honesty notes
What did not change
- Write gate and CI fail-closed semantics for value layer edges
- Binary gate—no numeric architecture score, no LLM pass/fail
- No new skill names; no new ArkRules sensors
-
Soft hosts stay advisory at local write; required CI
--strict-mergeis the hard merge boundary
