ArkGate
4.8.17

Published

ADR path. Confidence island.

ArkGate 4.8.17 is published. Current is 4.8.25. Accumulates product #264 and #265. No config migration. That is Contener · Guiar · Ordenar.

Upgrade

Install 4.8.17

npm install -D arkgate@4.8.17
npx arkgate upgrade --json
npx arkgate-check --doctor

Current is 4.8.25 on npm latest. Install that unless you need this patch pinned.

What shipped

A weaken names a note. The island follows the helper.

ADR path (#264)

A policy weaken, new layer, or new allow edge must name a short note under docs/adr/ or docs/decisions/ as adrPath on the same --policy-ack JSON. Fail-closed on the existing policy-ack / --strict-merge plane. No requireAdr flag. No new skill.

Confidence island retarget (#265)

After #264, the policy-delta-ack-match confidence island had drifted onto the wrong lines. 4.8.17 retargets it onto the current policyDeltaAcknowledgementMatches body so the release train can ship.

Honesty

What stayed the same.

Import rules still hold at write and at merge. Required CI is still the hard line. Cursor, Grok, and Claude can block listed writes when hooks are trusted.
