Current

Current is 4.8.3. Name the slow keys.

Patch over 4.8.2. Layers can be green while the agent PATCHes the billing plan like a seat count. Name those keys. A use-case that writes them through Prisma is named. Invoices still flow. Copy billing, rename the three keys. No new skill names. No required config migration.

Upgrade

Get 4.8.3

npm install -D arkgate@4.8.3

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 4.8.3 changes.

Name the slow keys

xiKeys: plan, protocol, cost-code bound — not projectId. A use-case Prisma write of those keys is named. Invoices, seats, hours still flow.

Writes through an aggregate

Application files that import Prisma and call .create skip the aggregate. Route the write through Domain, then a persistence adapter.

Copy and rename

Billing fixture is the template. Rename the three keys. No construction OS. No new skill names. Skills never enforce.

Silent when off

Compact starters leave extras off. Empty xiKeys stays silent. 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 4.8.2.
Companion @arkgate/runtime stays deprecated.
