Current

Current is 4.8.2. The plan is not a seat count.

Patch over 4.8.1. ArkOrder is in the package: the agent will PATCH the billing plan like a seat count, and that write does not land. This patch: the existing 13 skills name that extra. No /ark-order. No required config migration.

Upgrade

Get 4.8.2

npm install -D arkgate@4.8.2

npx arkgate upgrade --apply

npx arkgate-check --install-agent-gates --skills-only --force

npx arkgate-check --doctor

Restart Codex / Claude / Cursor / Grok after the skill refresh. Restart Ark MCP so the process version matches the pin.

What changed

What 4.8.2 changes.

What it buys you

Invoices still flow. Changing plan is a new release. A generic update of the plan does not land. Import from arkgate/order.

Four planes, 13 names

Adopt, place, and autopilot name ArkOrder. No new skill. Skills never enforce — the write check and required CI do.

ArkRun roots

kernelRoots is preferred (compositionRoots is an alias). Kernel import is arkgate/runtime.

Silent when off

Compact starters leave extras off. Absence changes no Layers verdict. In-memory. Not durable. Does not replace ArkRun.

Honest limits

What this release does not claim

No new skill names or scores. Does not close the parked claim-gate residual.
Host write hardness is unchanged from 4.8.1.
Companion @arkgate/runtime stays deprecated.
