* feat(init)!: make git extension opt-in and remove --no-git at v0.10.0
- Remove --no-git parameter from specify init command
- Remove git extension auto-installation from init flow
- Git repository initialization (git init) still runs when git is available
- Remove --no-git from all test invocations across the test suite
- Update docs to reflect opt-in git extension behavior
- Replace TestGitExtensionAutoInstall with TestGitExtensionOptIn tests
BREAKING CHANGE: specify init no longer auto-installs the git extension.
Use `specify extension add git` to install it explicitly.
The --no-git flag has been removed.

* refactor(scripts): remove git operations from core scripts
Git functionality is now entirely managed by the git extension.
Core scripts only handle directory-based feature creation and numbering.
- Remove has_git(), check_feature_branch(), git branch creation from core
- Simplify number detection to use only spec directory scanning
- Remove HAS_GIT output from get_feature_paths()
- Remove git remote fetching and branch querying
- Keep BRANCH_NAME output key for backward compatibility

* refactor: remove all git operations from core
- Remove is_git_repo() and init_git_repo() dead code from _utils.py
- Remove --branch-numbering from init command
- Remove git from 'specify check' (now extension-only)
- Update docs: git is optional prerequisite, check command description
- Fix tests to reflect no-git-in-core reality (fallback to main)

* refactor(scripts): remove directory scanning and branch fallback from core
Core scripts now resolve feature context exclusively from:
1. SPECIFY_FEATURE env var (set by git extension)
2. .specify/feature.json (persisted by specify command)
Removed find_feature_dir_by_prefix() and directory scanning heuristics —
these are the git extension's responsibility. Scripts error clearly when
no feature context is available.

* feat: introduce feature_numbering, deprecate branch_numbering in init-options
- specify command template now reads feature_numbering (preferred) with
fallback to branch_numbering (deprecated) from init-options.json
- Git extension reads git-config.yml > feature_numbering > branch_numbering
- init now writes feature_numbering: sequential to init-options.json
- Deprecation warning emitted when branch_numbering is used as fallback

* fix: remove trailing whitespace in common.ps1
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* feat(scripts): persist SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY env var to feature.json
When SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY is set, get_feature_paths() now writes the
value to .specify/feature.json so future sessions without the env var can
still resolve the feature directory. The write is idempotent — it skips
when the file already contains the same value.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix: address review feedback — error messages and docs
- Update error messages in common.sh and common.ps1 to reference
SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY instead of SPECIFY_FEATURE (which no longer
resolves feature directories)
- Fix get_current_branch comment (returns empty string, not error)
- Update upgrade.md to reference SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY with correct
example paths
- Update local-development.md troubleshooting: replace stale 'Git step
skipped' row with actionable git extension guidance

* fix(scripts): harden feature.json persistence
- Use json_escape in printf fallback when jq is unavailable (common.sh)
- Replace utf8NoBOM encoding with UTF8Encoding($false) for PowerShell
5.1 compatibility (common.ps1)

* refactor(scripts): remove dead feature_json_matches_feature_dir functions
These guards are no longer needed since the branch-name validation they
protected against has been removed from check-prerequisites.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* refactor(git-ext): rename create-new-feature to create-new-feature-branch
The git extension's script only creates the git branch — rename it to
reflect that responsibility. The core create-new-feature.sh/.ps1 handles
feature directory creation and feature.json persistence.
Also includes fixes from review feedback:
- common.sh: _persist_feature_json uses json_escape fallback
- common.ps1: Save-FeatureJson uses UTF8Encoding for PS 5.1 compat
- common.ps1: case-sensitive path stripping on non-Windows
- create-new-feature.sh/ps1: output both SPECIFY_FEATURE and
SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY
- setup-tasks.sh: fix stale 'Validate branch' comment

* feat(workflows): add --json output to workflow run, resume, and status
Adds an opt-in `--json` flag to `workflow run`, `workflow resume`, and
`workflow status` that emits a single machine-readable object (run_id,
workflow_id, status, current step; status also reports per-step states
and a runs list) for automation and external orchestrators.
JSON is written via a small `_emit_workflow_json` helper using plain
stdout, so Rich markup, highlighting, and line-wrapping can never alter
the emitted object. Default human-readable output and exit codes are
unchanged when `--json` is omitted. Reference docs updated.
Closes#2811.

* fix(workflows): keep --json stdout clean while steps write output
Suppressing the banner and the step-start callback was not enough to
guarantee a single parseable JSON object on stdout: individual steps still
write there while the engine runs. The gate step prints its prompt, and the
prompt step runs a CLI subprocess that inherits the process's stdout file
descriptor — either can corrupt the JSON stream for interactive runs or
integration-backed workflows.
Wrap engine.execute()/engine.resume() in a file-descriptor-level redirect
(dup2) when --json is set, so both Python-level writes and inherited-fd
subprocess output go to stderr while stdout carries only the emitted JSON.
Step progress stays visible on stderr. status does not run the engine, so
it is unaffected.
Tests cover both pollution channels (a Python print and a real subprocess)
via fd-level capture, and the inactive no-op path. Docs note the
stdout/stderr split.

* docs(workflows): fix stray escape sequence in --json redirect comments

* Initial plan
* feat: add --workflow option to init command for post-init workflow execution
* chore: remove unused import in test file
* refactor: allow workflow run without project when given a YAML file path
Instead of adding --workflow to init, make `specify workflow run ./file.yml`
work without requiring a .specify/ project directory. When the source is a
YAML file that exists on disk, cwd is used as the project root. When it's a
workflow ID, the .specify/ project requirement is preserved.
* Handle standalone workflow path edge cases
* Fix USERPROFILE env var portability and docs notation
* Fix workflow YAML path detection to require regular files

* fix: resolve self-upgrade review and Windows CI failures
- README: promote "Optional Commands" to ### so it is a sibling of
"Core Commands" under "Available Slash Commands" (consistent heading
levels; avoids the h2->h4 jump a revert would create).
- _version: allow --tag prerelease/dev and build-metadata suffixes to
compose (e.g. v1.0.0-rc1+build.42), matching PEP 440 / semver; the
Version() check still enforces canonical validity.
- tests: compare resolved argv0 as Path objects instead of POSIX strings
so the assertion holds on Windows; skip the relative-installer-path
executable-bit tests on Windows via a new requires_posix marker (they
rely on chmod/X_OK semantics and chdir-into-tmp teardown that do not
hold there). Add a combined prerelease+build-metadata tag test.
* fix: address second self-upgrade review round
- self_check: clarify that the "up to date" branch is reached only for
parseable latest tags (the unparseable case returns earlier), so the
InvalidVersion fallback assumption is not reintroduced.
- self_upgrade: compare target/current as Version instances directly
instead of re-parsing the canonical strings through _is_newer; the
empty-current case stays explicit via the not-None guard.
- tests: document the intentional broad GH_/GITHUB_ env scrub with a test
asserting non-credential context vars (GH_HOST, GITHUB_REPOSITORY, …) are
stripped from the installer subprocess env — a deliberate fail-safe that
also catches credential-adjacent names without a recognized suffix.
* fix: address third self-upgrade review round
- self_upgrade: unify the no-op short-circuits on packaging Version
equality instead of canonical-string equality. Version("1.0") equals
Version("1.0.0") but their str() forms differ, so the old check could
misreport an equal install as "already on latest release or newer".
Both the unpinned and pinned branches now use Version comparison.
- self_upgrade: compare the verified version as a parsed Version against
the target so a non-version verifier result is a mismatch (exit 2)
rather than a coincidental canonical-string match.
- resolver: map HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests / secondary rate limit) to
the rate-limited category so users get the same actionable token hint
as 403.
- _is_github_credential_env_key: document the precise (intentionally
broad) scrub matching contract in the docstring.
- tests: add a trailing-zero Version-equality regression test and a
parametrized HTTP-status categorization test (429 -> rate limited;
404/502 -> verbatim).
* fix: address fourth self-upgrade review round
- self_upgrade: label a pinned target older than the installed version as
"Downgrading" rather than "Upgrading" so `--tag <older>` is not mistaken
for a forward upgrade.
- resolver: drop the unused `typing.Optional` import and annotate the
`--tag` option as `str | None`, consistent with the rest of the module
(verified Typer resolves it on the supported Python versions).
- _is_github_credential_env_key: add `_PASSWORD` and `_CREDENTIALS` to the
recognized credential suffixes and document that only these shapes are
scrubbed (not blanket coverage).
- tests: assert the precise exit code (1) for the re-raised transient
OSError path; skip the InvalidMetadataError test on Pythons where the
real exception is absent instead of fabricating it; update the pinned
downgrade test to expect the "Downgrading" label.
* fix: accept uppercase V prefix in --tag
Fold a leading uppercase `V` (a common paste) to the canonical lowercase
`v` before validating `--tag`. The remainder of the tag stays
case-sensitive on purpose: the validated value is used verbatim as a git
ref, which is case-sensitive on GitHub, so rewriting label/build-metadata
casing could point at a tag that does not exist. Adds a normalization test.
`workflow resume` now accepts `--input key=value` (the same flag and
parsing as `workflow run`, via a shared `_parse_input_values` helper).
Supplied values are merged over the run's persisted inputs and
re-resolved through the existing typed-validation path
(`_resolve_inputs`), so a resumed/re-run step sees the updated inputs
and ill-typed values fail fast. Keys not supplied keep their persisted
values; resuming without `--input` is unchanged. Reference docs updated.
Distinct from #2405 (file-reference inputs at run time): this is about
supplying inputs at resume time, reusing the existing input model.
Closes#2812.

in two directory tree examples (Steps 2 and 4 of the detailed walkthrough).
* docs: fix .specify/scripts layout to show bash/ and powershell/ subdirs
install_shared_infra() installs scripts under .specify/scripts/bash/
(script_type="sh") or .specify/scripts/powershell/ (script_type="ps"),
not directly under .specify/scripts/. Update docs/installation.md and
the _install_shared_infra docstring to reflect the actual on-disk layout.
* docs: update README tree examples to show scripts/bash/ subdirectory
Scripts are installed under .specify/scripts/bash/ (or powershell/)
not directly under .specify/scripts/. Fix both tree diagrams in the
Detailed Process walkthrough to match the actual on-disk layout.

* fix(kiro-cli): replace literal $ARGUMENTS with prose fallback
Kiro CLI file-based prompts do not natively substitute any
argument placeholder (kirodotdev/Kiro#4141, kiro.dev/docs/cli
manage-prompts), so the literal "$ARGUMENTS" set in
KiroCliIntegration.registrar_config["args"] reached the model
verbatim and broke the prompt — every parameterized SpecKit
command under Kiro CLI was unusable.
Replace the placeholder with a prose fallback that instructs
the model to take its argument from the user's next message,
mirroring the convention used by other integrations whose
target CLI lacks native argument injection.
Add two regression tests in TestKiroCliIntegration:
- test_rendered_prompts_do_not_contain_raw_arguments
- test_rendered_prompts_contain_kiro_arg_placeholder
and override the inherited test_registrar_config so it does
not require args == "$ARGUMENTS".
Fixes#1926
* test(kiro-cli): tighten args regression guard + document quirk
Address review feedback on PR #2482.
Two changes that bracket the original bug fix from both sides — code AND
documentation:
1. Test layer (Copilot finding at lines 27, 56)
The previous test_registrar_config asserted only that args != "$ARGUMENTS"
and that args is truthy. That would silently pass if a future change
swapped $ARGUMENTS for $INPUT, {{userMessage}}, <args>, or any other
unsubstituted placeholder syntax — defeating the regression guard for
issue #1926.
Replace with a dual-layer guard:
- test_registrar_config_args_is_exact_prose_fallback pins args to the
imported _KIRO_ARG_FALLBACK constant. Wording drift now requires a
deliberate paired commit (production constant + test).
- test_registrar_config_args_does_not_look_like_a_placeholder_token is
an independent regression guard built on a 7-pattern regex set
covering Bash ($X, ${X}, ${X:-default}), Mustache/Handlebars/Jinja
({{X}}, {{{X}}}), Liquid/Jinja control ({% %}), Python str.format /
.NET ({0}, {var}), angle-bracket (<X>), and Windows (%X%). Patterns
are anchored to the full string so legitimate prose mentioning a
placeholder ("the {{magic}} of placeholders") is not flagged.
Also fix the line-56 tautology by importing _KIRO_ARG_FALLBACK directly
into test_rendered_prompts_contain_kiro_arg_placeholder, instead of
reading the constant back from registrar_config["args"]. The test now
verifies the FALLBACK STRING reaches the rendered output, independent
of the integration's own config staying correct.
2. Docs layer (mnriem CHANGES_REQUESTED)
The Kiro CLI row in docs/reference/integrations.md only documented its
alias. Update the notes column to lead with the limitation — Kiro CLI
does not substitute $ARGUMENTS in file-based prompts, so Spec Kit ships
a prose fallback at render time — with inline links to upstream Kiro
"Manage prompts" docs and issue #1926. Style follows the Pi row
("limitation first, alias preserved at end").
Refs #1926

* add lingma support
* fix
* fix context file
* Update CONTEXT_FILE path in test integration
* fix IntegrationOption.default
* fix IntegrationOption.defaultfix
* fix: address Copilot review feedback
- Add blank line after __future__ import (PEP 8)
- Remove trailing whitespace at end of lingma/__init__.py
- Bump integrations/catalog.json updated_at timestamp
- Add Lingma to supported agent list in README.md
* fix: address Copilot review feedback (round 4)
- Reword module docstring: Lingma is a brand-new skills-only integration
with no prior command-mode history, so 'deprecated since v0.5.1'
wording (copied from Trae) was misleading
- Remove Lingma from README CLI-tool check list: Lingma is IDE-based
(requires_cli=False) and is explicitly skipped by specify init /
specify check tool detection
Simplify the community catalog submission flow to use issue templates
with manual maintainer review (no automation scripts or workflows).
- Add explicit CODEOWNERS entries for catalog.community.json files so
submissions are automatically assigned to a maintainer for review
- Improve preset submission template:
- Add 'Required Extensions' optional field
- Make 'Templates Provided' optional (supports command-only presets)
- Add 'Number of Scripts' optional field
The existing extension and preset issue templates already collect all
required catalog metadata. Maintainers review submissions and manually
update the catalog JSON files.
Closes#2400
