-        **Before submitting:**
-        - Review the [Bundles reference](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/blob/main/docs/reference/bundles.md)
-        - Ensure your bundle has a valid `bundle.yml` manifest

-        - Test installation from a downloaded artifact: `specify bundle install ./your-bundle-1.0.0.zip`
-        - If you host a bundle catalog, test catalog installation with `specify bundle catalog add <catalog-url> --id <catalog-id> --policy install-allowed` and `specify bundle install <bundle-id>`
-        - If your bundle depends on components from non-default catalogs, document those catalog URLs and test installation from a clean project

-preset** — not just any file named `README.md`, and not a product/framework pitch.
-
-- **Restrict the URL to GitHub before fetching.** The `documentation` value is
-  user-provided input. Only accept GitHub-hosted README URLs:
-  - `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/blob/<ref>/<path>`
-  - `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/raw/<ref>/<path>`
-  - `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<owner>/<repo>/<ref>/<path>`
-
-  If the URL points anywhere else (or isn't a URL), **fail this check** and do not fetch it.
-- **Require the URL to point at a README file.** After stripping any fragment/query (see
-  below), the URL path must end with `README.md` (case-insensitive). If it points at some
-  other Markdown file, **fail this check** and ask the submitter to link the preset's README.
-- Fetch the **exact URL** in the `documentation` field. First strip any fragment (`#...`)
-  or query string (`?...`) — these are common when copying from the browser UI and must be
-  ignored so the fetch target is deterministic. Then resolve the raw content to fetch:
-  - For a `github.com/<owner>/<repo>/blob/<ref>/<path>` URL, fetch the equivalent
-    `github.com/<owner>/<repo>/raw/<ref>/<path>` URL (only swap `/blob/` → `/raw/`).
-  - Fetch `github.com/.../raw/...` and `raw.githubusercontent.com/...` URLs as-is.
-
-  Do **not** rewrite into `raw.githubusercontent.com/<owner>/<repo>/<ref>/<path>` form — that
-  format can't reliably represent refs containing slashes (e.g. a `feature/foo` branch).
-  Confirm the fetched URL resolves to a readable Markdown file.
-- **Validate that the README contains a valid Spec Kit CLI install command.** The fetched
-  README must contain at least one `specify preset add ...` invocation. The strongest
-  signal is the catalog-install form whose URL matches the submitted **Download URL**:
-  - `specify preset add --from <download-url>` (preferred), or
-  - `specify preset add <preset-id>`, or
-  - `specify preset add --dev <path>`
-
-  A `specify preset add --from <url>` command only counts when its `<url>` **matches the
-  submitted Download URL exactly**. A `--from` command pointing at a *different* URL does
-  **not** satisfy the install-command requirement (treat it as if absent) — but the README
-  may still pass on one of the other accepted forms (`specify preset add <preset-id>` or
-  `specify preset add --dev <path>`).
-
-  If **no** accepted `specify preset add ...` command is present, the README is treated as a
-  generic description/pitch rather than preset-usage documentation — **fail this check** and
-  tell the submitter to add a valid install command (ideally
-  `specify preset add --from <download-url>`).
-- **Prefer a preset-scoped README in monorepos.** If `documentation` resolves to a generic
-  repository-root README in a monorepo (the preset lives in a subdirectory such as
-  `presets/<id>/` and a preset-scoped README exists there), **flag it** in your comment and
-  recommend the submitter point `documentation` at the preset-scoped README
-  (e.g. `presets/<id>/README.md`) so the catalog surfaces usage instead of marketing. Treat
-  this as a flag rather than a hard failure **only if** the root README still contains a valid

-The Specify CLI carries **no agent-context state whatsoever**. Integration classes do **not** declare a `context_file`, and the CLI never creates, updates, removes, resolves, or migrates a context/instruction file (`CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, …). New integrations add nothing for context handling.
+Set `context_file` on the integration class. The base integration setup creates or updates the managed Spec Kit section in that file, and uninstall removes the managed section when appropriate.
 
-Managing the "Spec Kit" section in the context file is fully owned by the bundled `agent-context` extension (`extensions/agent-context/`), which is a **full opt-in**: `specify init` does not install it. A user adds/enables it through the standard extension verbs, after which the extension's own bundled scripts maintain the context section. When the extension is absent or disabled, nothing in Spec Kit touches the context file.

 ## Common Pitfalls
 
 1. **Using shorthand keys for CLI-based integrations**: For CLI-based integrations (`requires_cli: True`), the `key` must match the executable name (e.g., `"cursor-agent"` not `"cursor"`). `shutil.which(key)` is used for CLI tool checks — mismatches require special-case mappings. IDE-based integrations (`requires_cli: False`) are not subject to this constraint.
-2. **Reintroducing context handling into the CLI**: The opt-in `agent-context` extension owns everything about context files — including the per-agent default mapping in `agent-context-defaults.json`. Integration classes must **not** declare a `context_file`, and no CLI code should read, write, resolve, or migrate context files. All context-file logic lives in `.specify/extensions/agent-context/` and its bundled scripts.
+2. **Forgetting context configuration**: The bundled `agent-context` extension reads from `.specify/extensions/agent-context/agent-context-config.yml`. New integrations only need to set `context_file` on the class — markers and dispatcher scripts are managed centrally.
 3. **Incorrect `requires_cli` value**: Set to `True` only for agents that have a CLI tool; set to `False` for IDE-based agents.
 4. **Wrong argument format**: Use `$ARGUMENTS` for Markdown agents, `{{args}}` for TOML agents.
 5. **Skipping registration**: The import and `_register()` call in `_register_builtins()` must both be added.

-# Community Bundles
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Community bundles are independently created and maintained by their respective authors. Maintainers only verify that submission metadata is complete and correctly formatted — they do **not review, audit, endorse, or support the bundle code or the components it installs**. Review bundle manifests, component catalogs, and source repositories before installation and use at your own discretion.
-
-Bundles compose existing Spec Kit components — extensions, presets, workflows, and steps — into a single role or team stack. They are useful when a user should be able to install a tested set of components together instead of following several separate install commands.
-
-Accepted community bundle entries will be listed here once a community bundle catalog is available. To submit a bundle for review, file a [Bundle Submission](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/new?template=bundle_submission.yml) issue.
-
-## What to Submit
-
-A bundle submission should include:
-
-- A public repository with a valid `bundle.yml` manifest.
-- A versioned GitHub release with a bundle artifact created by `specify bundle build`.
-- Documentation that explains the intended role, installed components, required catalogs, and expected workflow.
-- A proposed catalog entry with bundle metadata and component counts.
-- Test evidence from a clean Spec Kit project.
-
-## Component Resolution
-
-A bundle catalog entry describes where to download the bundle artifact, but the bundle's component references still need to resolve when a user installs it. References can resolve from bundled components, already installed components, or active extension, preset, workflow, and step catalogs.
-
-If your bundle depends on components that are not available from the default Spec Kit catalogs, include the required catalog URLs in the submission and in your README. Test the full install path from a clean project with those catalogs added before submitting.
-
-For example:
-
-```bash
-specify preset catalog add https://example.com/presets.json --name example-bundle --install-allowed
-specify extension catalog add https://example.com/extensions.json --name example-bundle --install-allowed
-curl -L -o example-bundle-1.0.0.zip https://example.com/example-bundle-1.0.0.zip
-specify bundle install ./example-bundle-1.0.0.zip
-
-# Or install by id from an install-allowed bundle catalog.
-specify bundle catalog add https://example.com/bundles.json --id example-bundle-catalog --policy install-allowed
-specify bundle install example-bundle
-```
-
-## Review Scope
-
-Maintainers check that:
-
-- The submission fields are complete and correctly formatted.
-- The release artifact and documentation URLs are reachable.
-- The repository contains a `bundle.yml` manifest.
-- The submission clearly identifies any required component catalogs.
-- The proposed catalog entry uses the expected bundle catalog entry shape.
-
-Maintainers do not audit the behavior of installed extensions, presets, workflows, steps, or scripts. Users should review those components before installing a community bundle.
-
-## Updating a Bundle
-
-To update a submitted bundle, file another [Bundle Submission](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/new?template=bundle_submission.yml) issue with the new version, download URL, changed component list, and updated test evidence. Mention that the issue updates an existing bundle entry.

-# Using Spec Kit in a Monorepo
-
-A Spec Kit project is **directory-scoped**: the project is whichever directory
-contains `.specify/`. A monorepo can hold several independent Spec Kit projects
-under one repository root, each with its own `.specify/`, `specs/`, constitution,
-and feature numbering.
-
-Root resolution already prefers the **nearest** `.specify/` over the Git
-toplevel, so commands run from inside a member project resolve to that project,
-not the repo root.
-
-## Layout
-
-```text
-my-monorepo/
-├── .git/                     # one Git repository at the root
-├── apps/
-│   ├── web/
-│   │   └── .specify/         # Spec Kit project "web"
-│   │       └── memory/constitution.md
-│   └── api/
-│       └── .specify/         # Spec Kit project "api"
-│           └── memory/constitution.md
-└── packages/
-    └── ui/
-        └── .specify/         # Spec Kit project "ui"
-```
-
-Initialize each member project independently:
-
-```bash
-specify init apps/web --integration claude
-specify init apps/api --integration claude
-```
-
-Each project keeps its own `specs/` directory and numbers features
-independently (`apps/web/specs/001-…`, `apps/api/specs/001-…`).
-
-## Working inside a member project
-
-The default workflow is unchanged: change into the project directory and run the
-slash commands. Root resolution finds the nearest `.specify/`.
-
-```bash
-cd apps/web
-# then run /speckit.specify, /speckit.plan, … in your agent
-```
-
-## Targeting a member project from the repo root
-
-For non-interactive or CI runs where you do not want to `cd`, set
-**`SPECIFY_INIT_DIR`** to the member project root (the directory *containing*
-`.specify/`). Relative paths resolve against the current directory.
-
-```bash
-# operate on apps/web from the monorepo root (no cd required)
-export SPECIFY_INIT_DIR=apps/web
-```
-
-The path must exist and contain `.specify/`. If it does not, the command
-**errors and does not fall back** to the current directory or the Git toplevel.
-This is deliberate: a typo never writes specs into the wrong project. A
-nonexistent path is reported as you typed it; a path that exists but is not a
-Spec Kit project is reported as its resolved absolute path:
-
-```text
-# SPECIFY_INIT_DIR=apps/wbe  (typo: no such directory)
-ERROR: SPECIFY_INIT_DIR does not point to an existing directory: apps/wbe
-
-# SPECIFY_INIT_DIR=apps  (exists, but has no .specify/ of its own)
-ERROR: SPECIFY_INIT_DIR is not a Spec Kit project (no .specify/ directory): /home/you/my-monorepo/apps
-```
-
-`SPECIFY_INIT_DIR` selects the **project**; `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY` selects
-the **feature** within it. They compose: set both to pick a project and a
-feature non-interactively. See the
-[`SPECIFY_INIT_DIR` reference](../reference/core.md#environment-variables) for
-the full contract and the two-axes model.
-
-## How `SPECIFY_INIT_DIR` reaches your agent
-
-`SPECIFY_INIT_DIR` is read by the shell scripts that the slash commands invoke
-(`get_repo_root` in Bash, `Get-RepoRoot` in PowerShell). It takes effect only
-when it is present in the environment of the shell that runs those scripts.
-
-- **Scripted / CI runs:** export it in the same shell that drives the commands;
-  it is reliable there.
-- **Interactive agents:** whether an exported variable reaches the shell tool an
-  agent uses is agent-specific. Export `SPECIFY_INIT_DIR` *before* launching the
-  agent, and verify once (e.g. run `/speckit.specify` and confirm the new feature
-  landed under the intended project's `specs/`).
-
-## Git in a monorepo
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Spec Kit project files are scoped to the **resolved project root**, but Git
-> operations still run in the containing Git work tree. In a monorepo with a
-> single Git repository at the root and projects in subdirectories, feature
-> branch creation creates or switches branches in the shared root repository.
-> Spec directories still live under the selected member project, while the Git
-> branch namespace is shared by the whole monorepo. Manage branches and commits
-> at the repository root, or initialize Git per member project if you want
-> isolated per-project branch namespaces.
-
-## Constitutions
-
-Each member project has its own `.specify/memory/constitution.md` and
-`/speckit.constitution` edits the local project's file. Spec Kit does not provide
-a built-in base/inheritance mechanism; if you want one constitution to reference
-shared rules elsewhere in the monorepo, you need to maintain that wiring yourself.
-Otherwise, duplicate or sync shared engineering rules per project.

 After installing Spec Kit and defining your project constitution, quick experiments can use the lean feature path: `/speckit.specify` -> `/speckit.plan` -> `/speckit.tasks` -> `/speckit.implement`. For production features or any work with meaningful ambiguity, treat `/speckit.clarify`, `/speckit.checklist`, and `/speckit.analyze` as regular quality gates:

+/speckit.constitution -> /speckit.specify -> /speckit.clarify -> /speckit.checklist -> /speckit.plan -> /speckit.tasks -> /speckit.analyze -> /speckit.implement
 ```
 
-Use `/speckit.clarify` to reduce requirement ambiguity before planning, `/speckit.checklist` (after `/speckit.plan`) to generate quality checklists that validate requirements completeness, clarity, and consistency, and `/speckit.analyze` to check spec/plan/task consistency before implementation starts. You can repeat `/speckit.analyze` after implementation as an extra review, but keep the first analysis before `/speckit.implement` so gaps are caught while the plan and tasks can still be adjusted. Finally, run `/speckit.converge` after implementation to verify all planned work is complete and generate tasks for any remaining gaps. If `/speckit.converge` appends new tasks, run `/speckit.implement` again (and converge again) until it reports that the feature has converged.

-**Disabling** (`specify preset disable`) keeps the preset installed but excludes it from future template and script resolution. Previously registered commands remain available in your AI coding agent until preset removal, so use removal when you need command changes to stop taking effect. Disabling is useful for temporarily testing template/script behavior without a preset, or comparing template/script output with and without it. Re-enable anytime with `specify preset enable`.

+When disabled, Spec Kit skips context file creation, updates, and removal (the gates are inside `upsert_context_section()` and `remove_context_section()`).
+Disabled projects also ignore stale `context_files` values during command rendering so disabling the extension remains a complete opt-out.

-# Spec Kit - June 2026 Newsletter
-
-This edition covers Spec Kit activity in June 2026 — a month of maturation and mainstream validation. Twenty-five releases shipped (v0.9.0 through v0.12.2), spanning four minor bumps and delivering two headline capabilities: the **`/speckit.converge` command**, which closes the loop between a spec and the code that implements it, and the new **`specify bundle` subsystem**, a role-based distribution layer that composes extensions, presets, workflows, and steps into a single installable unit. The workflow engine became programmable, the git extension went opt-in as the first real breaking change, and the ecosystem crossed **120+ community extensions**. Externally, June was the highest-volume press month on record — Microsoft's own Developer Blog published a first-party spec-driven development post, an enterprise reported 2–4× velocity gains, and 75 substantive articles appeared across 25+ languages. A summary is in the table below, followed by details.

The repo grew from ~107k to **~116,500 stars**.

-> **Spec-Driven Development, Institutionalized.** If May was defined by milestone 100s, June was defined by validation from outside the project. Microsoft's own Developer Blog published a first-party post presenting spec-driven development and positioning Spec Kit as the toolkit that operationalizes it. An enterprise — SNCF Connect & Tech — went on the record with **2–4× velocity gains** from adopting SDD. A record **75 substantive articles** appeared in more than 25 languages, and the recurring verdict across independent comparisons was that Spec Kit is "the category anchor" and the agent-neutral default. Meanwhile the core matured from v0.9 to v0.12: the workflow engine became genuinely programmable, the first real breaking change shipped, and the new convergence loop and bundle subsystem gave the project answers to its two most-cited gaps — drift and distribution. None of this happens without the community — the contributors, extension and preset authors, bundle builders, and practitioners writing in a dozen languages. Thank you.

-## Spec Kit Project Updates
-
-### Releases Overview
-
-**v0.9.0–v0.9.5** (June 1–5) opened the month with a minor bump and five patches. The headline was **native Cline integration** (#2508) and **rovodev** support (#2539), plus the long-running effort to extract agent-context updates into a bundled, opt-in **`agent-context` extension** (#2546, closing #2398). The CLI gained **`specify self upgrade`** (#2475) and a **`--force` flag for `extension add`** (#2530). The workflow engine picked up four capabilities: running YAML files **without a project** (#2825), accepting **updated inputs on resume** (#2815), **structured JSON output** across `run`/`resume`/`status` (#2814), and a **`continue_on_error` step field** for non-halting failures (#2663). Windows compatibility hardened with UTF-8 stdout/stderr (#2817), and cursor-agent headless dispatch now works end-to-end (#2631). [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
-
-**v0.10.0–v0.10.4** (June 9–16) delivered the month's first real **breaking change**: the **git extension is now opt-in** and the long-deprecated `--no-git` flag was removed at v0.10.0 (#2873, closing #2168). A long-standing community ask landed as **per-event hook lists with priority ordering** (#2798, closing #2378), letting extensions cleanly compose multiple hooks on one event. Operators gained a **`specify integration status`** reporting command (#2674), and the extension schema picked up first-class **`category` and `effect` fields** (#2899) to natively express the `Candidate`/`Adjacent`/`Niche`/`Bridge` signals. Security-relevant fixes hardened **preset URL installs against unsafe redirects** (#2911) and preserved the Claude `SKILL.md` `argument-hint` for extension commands (#2916). [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
-
-**v0.11.0–v0.11.10** (June 16–29) was the largest release cluster of the month and centered on **workflows** and the new **convergence loop**. The **`/speckit.converge` command** shipped (#3001), and the **workflow step catalog** made workflow steps community-installable the way extensions and presets already are (#2394, closing #2216). A complementary **`init` workflow step** (#2838) lets a workflow bootstrap a project the way `specify init` does. Workflow execution became programmable: opt-in `output_format: json` exposes parsed shell stdout as `output.data` (#2963), and a new **`from_json` expression filter** (#2961) turns step outputs into typed values. The new **`bug-assess` agentic workflow** (#3023) automates bug triage from labeled issues, **Zed** joined the supported agents (#2780), and contributors gained an **integration scaffolder** (#2685). The **`specify bundle` command** made its debut here (#3070). Two Windows/PowerShell pain points closed — `specify init` no longer hangs on PowerShell 5.1 (#2938) and the 233-day-old worktree branch-numbering bug was fixed (#3054, closing #1066). [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
-
-**v0.12.0–v0.12.2** (June 29–30) closed the month with a minor bump making the **`agent-context` extension a full opt-in** (#3097) and a run of workflow-engine hardening: `max_concurrency` is now honored in fan-out via a bounded thread pool (#3224), gate validation no longer crashes on non-string options (#3233), pipe-filter detection became quote-aware (#3232), and a fan-in `wait_for` that names an unknown step is now rejected at validation (#3225). Three agents were also rationalized — **Firebender** (Android Studio / IntelliJ, #3077, closing #1548), **ZCode** (Z.AI, #3063), and **omp** (#3107) joined earlier in the run, while **Windsurf** was absorbed into Cognition Devin (#3168) and **iflow** was retired as discontinued (#3166). [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
-
-### The Convergence Loop: `/speckit.converge`
-
-The most significant addition to the SDD workflow since the core commands themselves, **`/speckit.converge`** (#3001) adds a ninth step that runs *after* `/speckit.implement` and answers the single most-cited concern in every review of the project: *does the code actually match the spec?*
-
-Converge reads `spec.md`, `plan.md`, and `tasks.md` as the **sole source of intent** — with the constitution as governing constraints — assesses the current state of the code, and appends any remaining unbuilt work as new, traceable tasks. It is deliberately **not** a diff or git tool: it evaluates the *present* state of the code relative to the feature's artifacts, with no branch comparison and no history. Findings are classified by **gap type** — `missing` (absent entirely), `partial` (present but incomplete), `contradicts` (conflicts with intent or a constitution MUST), or `unrequested` (work the spec never called for) — and graded by severity, with a constitution-MUST violation always the highest.
-
-Its defining design choice is that it is **append-only and never rewrites**. Its only write is a new `## Phase N: Convergence` section at the bottom of `tasks.md`; it never modifies the spec or plan, never renumbers existing tasks, and never touches application code — completing the appended tasks remains the job of `/speckit.implement`. When the codebase already satisfies everything, it leaves `tasks.md` byte-for-byte unchanged and simply reports **"✅ Converged."** Each appended task carries a `source-ref` (e.g. `FR-003`, `SC-002`, `US1/AC2`, a plan decision, or a constitution article), preserving traceability from requirement to remediation.
-
-The result is an **iterative convergence loop** — converge → implement → converge — that runs until no gaps remain. It also smooths migration from OpenSpec by giving Spec Kit a first-class verify-and-close-the-gap step (#2673), directly answering the drift-and-verification demand the community had been expressing through extensions like Architecture Guard, Spec Trace, and the various drift-control tools. The command is now documented in the quickstart and the evolving-specs guide. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/blob/main/docs/quickstart.md)
-
-### The Bundle Subsystem: `specify bundle`
-
-June's second headline was the debut of **bundles** (#3070), a distribution and composition layer that sits above the existing primitives. Where extensions, presets, workflows, and steps are the building blocks, a **bundle is a curated, versioned, role-based stack** that declares everything a team or role needs and installs it in a single step. Crucially, a bundle adds *no new runtime behavior of its own* — it composes what already exists through each component's own machinery, so there is nothing new to learn at execution time.
-
-A bundle is described by a **`bundle.yml` manifest**: metadata (`id`, `name`, `version`, `role`, `author`, `license`), a `requires` block (minimum `speckit_version`, tools, MCP servers), and a `provides` block listing the exact extensions, presets (with `priority` and composition `strategy`), steps, and workflows it installs — each pinned to a version. The first example bundles ship four roles: **developer, product-manager, business-analyst, and security-researcher**.
-
-The subcommand surface is a full package-manager experience: `search` and `info` (which previews the **fully expanded component set** with pinned versions and a `verified`-vs-`community` trust indicator before you install), `install`, `update` (`--all`), `remove`, `list`, `init`, `validate`, `build` (produces a single versioned `.zip` artifact), `publish`, and `catalog` management (`list`/`add`/`remove` sources). Installs are **idempotent with full provenance tracking**, so a bundle can be cleanly removed or refreshed later; `remove` uninstalls only the components a bundle contributed, leaving anything another installed bundle still needs in place. If run in a directory that isn't yet a Spec Kit project, `install` and `init` **bootstrap one first**, so a fresh checkout reaches a working state in a single command. The only cross-bundle conflict point checked at install time is the active integration.
-
-Bundles are discovered through the same priority-ordered catalog stack (project, user, and built-in scopes) as every other component, and by the end of the month they had become a **fourth community-submittable artifact type** alongside extensions, presets, and workflows, via a dedicated submission path (#3162). Bundles are the project's answer to the "how do I distribute a whole role setup?" question — the composability story that ties the entire catalog together. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/blob/main/docs/reference/bundles.md)
-
-### The Workflow Engine Matures
-
-Beyond converge and bundles, June was the month the **workflow engine grew up**. The **step catalog** (#2394) made steps community-distributable; the **`init` step** (#2838) let workflows bootstrap projects; **JSON output** (#2963) and the **`from_json` filter** (#2961) made step outputs consumable as typed data; and the **`bug-assess`** agentic workflow (#3023) became the first shipped end-to-end automation built on the engine. Late-month hardening added bounded-concurrency fan-out (#3224), quote-aware expression parsing (#3232, #3197), stricter gate and `wait_for` validation (#3233, #3225), and correct non-zero exit codes on failed or aborted runs (#2959). The engine that began as a fixed seven-step sequence is now a programmable, community-extensible automation substrate. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
-
-### Architecture & Refactoring
-
-The **`__init__.py` decomposition series** advanced from 4/8 to **7/8** during June. PR 5/8 co-located integration commands in the `integrations/` domain directory (#2720), PR 6/8 extracted preset command handlers into `presets/_commands.py` (#2826), and PR 7/8 moved extension command handlers into `extensions/_commands.py` (#3014). The systematic extraction continues to improve contributor onboarding and test isolation, with one part remaining. Dead HTTP helpers (`open_github_url`, `_StripAuthOnRedirect`) were removed following the preset URL-install hardening (#2883). [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
-
-### Bug Fixes and Security
-
-Twenty-five releases produced a heavy cadence of fixes, concentrated on **cross-platform parity** and **workflow robustness**. Windows/PowerShell saw the most attention: the PowerShell 5.1 init hang (#2938), UTF-8 stdout/stderr (#2817), stderr routing for `check-prerequisites.ps1` (#3123), case-sensitive branch-name acronym parity (#3129), and several bash-parity script fixes (#3196, #3198, #3230, #3231). Workflow correctness improved with loud failures on unknown expression filters (#3074), rejection of phantom permissions gates (#3079), and preserved commas inside quoted list literals (#3134). Long-standing bugs closed include the 233-day worktree branch-numbering repeat (#1066) and the extension-command registration gap on integration upgrade (#2886).
-
-Security and supply-chain work was a distinct theme this month. **Preset URL installs were hardened against unsafe redirects** (#2911), **`run_command` now rejects `shell=True`** (#3132), **command-registration path handling was hardened** (#3088), **CI actions were pinned to commit SHAs with shellcheck added** (#3126), **catalog archives are verified by sha256 before install** (#3080), the **extension self-install path can no longer delete its source directory** (#2991), **per-extension failures are isolated** so one bad extension can't drop the rest (#2951), and **host-less catalog URLs are now rejected** in the base and preset validators (#3209). [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
-
-### The Extension & Preset Ecosystem
-
-The community extension catalog grew from 105 to **124 entries** during June — nineteen net additions across four steady weeks. Community presets grew from 21 to **23**.
-
-Notable new extensions by category:
-
-- **Verification & drift**: Golden Demo executable-reference + behavioral-drift detection, Coding Standards Drift Control, Spec Trace spec-to-code traceability
-- **External trackers & round-trip**: Linear integration (`spec-kit-linear`), Jira Integration via sync engine, Tasks to GitHub Project
-- **Autonomy & loops**: Loop Engineering (safe maker/checker agent loops), Research Harness
-- **Token & context economy**: Token Economy (routing, measured savings, context audits)
-- **Visibility & artifacts**: Spec Kit TLDR review dashboard, Data Model Diagram (Mermaid ER diagrams), Spec Roadmap
-- **Intake & discovery**: Improve (audit a codebase into prioritized spec prompts), Intake (structured requirement intake), Spec Kit Discovery
-- **Multi-project**: Multi-Sites Spec Kit, RAG Azure Builder, SpecKit Companion
-
-The catalog also showed strong maintenance activity: **Linear Integration** advanced through several releases (to v0.7.0), **DocGuard — CDD Enforcement** progressed to v0.28.0, the **Superpowers** bridges continued rapid iteration, and **Architecture Guard**, **Security Review**, **Product Forge**, **MemoryLint**, and **Multi-Model Review** all shipped updates. New presets included **Command Density** and **SicarioSpec Core**, and the governance-preset family (a11y, agent-parity, cross-platform, iSAQB-architecture, architecture, security) received a coordinated round of updates. [\[github.com\]](https://github.github.io/spec-kit/community/extensions.html)
-
-### Documentation & Docs Site
-
-June closed several long-standing documentation gaps. A **guide for handling complex features** landed (#3004), and **evolving specs in existing projects** was formally documented (#2902, closing the 243-day #916). **Spec-persistence models** were documented (#2856), a **monorepo guide** was added (#3084), and **GitHub Copilot CLI guidance** joined the README (#2891). Reference docs for the new **bundles** and **integration catalog** subcommands were added (#3206, #3174), agent disclosure was strengthened to cover commits and per-round comments (#3071), and preset submissions now require a usage README with Spec Kit CLI syntax (#3104). [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
-
-## Community & Content
-
-### Microsoft's First-Party Endorsement
-
-On **June 10**, the **Microsoft Developer Blog** published *"Spec-Driven Development: A Spec-First Approach to AI-Native Engineering"* by Apoorv Gupta (Principal Software Engineer, Microsoft) — the first first-party, non-maintainer post to present SDD and position **GitHub Spec Kit as the toolkit that operationalizes it**. The article covers the seven-step lifecycle and walks through three real greenfield and brownfield case studies, distilling the practice to a single line: **"spec quality = output quality."** Coming from Microsoft's own developer platform rather than the maintainers, it was the month's clearest signal that spec-driven development has moved from community experiment to institutionally endorsed practice. [\[developer.microsoft.com\]](https://developer.microsoft.com/blog/spec-driven-development-ai-native-engineering)

-### Press and Industry Coverage
-

-### Enterprise Adoption
-
-**SNCF Connect & Tech** — the technology arm of France's national railway — went on the record in a **CIO Online** interview (Reynald Fléchaux, June 30). CTO Emmanuel Cordente reported **2–4× velocity gains** from adopting spec-driven development via open-source frameworks it named explicitly, including Spec Kit, while candidly flagging token-cost and governance concerns. It is one of the first named-enterprise, on-the-record velocity claims for SDD.

-## SDD Ecosystem & Industry Trends
-
-### The Category Consolidates
-
-Across June's record article volume, a consistent framing emerged: spec-driven development is now an established category, and Spec Kit is its reference implementation. SSOJet called it "the category anchor," Design News and multiple comparison pieces called it the agent-neutral default, and ToolTwist's CxO guide named it the "safe default for scaling teams." The Microsoft Developer Blog post and the SNCF enterprise interview extended that framing beyond the developer press into institutional and enterprise contexts. [\[ssojet.com\]](https://ssojet.com/blog/best-spec-driven-development-tools)
-
-### Competitive Landscape
-
-The "which SDD tool?" comparison became June's dominant content genre, almost always featuring the same field: **Spec Kit, OpenSpec, Superpowers, BMAD, Kiro, Tessl, and GSD**. The recurring conclusion — from ToolTwist, BrainGrid, Particula Tech, and numerous multilingual surveys — was that the *practice* matters more than the tool, with Spec Kit positioned as the portable, community-driven, agent-agnostic default and competitors differentiating on brownfield ergonomics and drift management. Balanced reviews were consistent about the trade-off: Spec Kit is the heaviest and most flexible option (30+ agents, a full constitution/lifecycle model), which brings both the widest capability surface and the most review overhead. Hands-on scoring pieces (ypyl, vc.ru) rated it strong on greenfield and multi-scenario work and weaker on research tasks and incremental brownfield edits — precisely the gaps the `/speckit.converge` loop and the growing brownfield/drift extension ecosystem are built to close. [\[tooltwist.com\]](https://tooltwist.com/insights/spec-driven-frameworks-cxo-guide)
-
-## Roadmap
-
-Areas under discussion or in progress for future development:
-
-- **The convergence loop** — `/speckit.converge` (#3001) is the core's direct answer to the drift-and-verification concern raised in nearly every review. Expect the append-only convergence model to deepen, and the community drift/verification extensions (Golden Demo, Spec Trace, Coding Standards Drift Control) to keep feeding requirements upstream. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/blob/main/docs/quickstart.md)
-- **The bundle subsystem** — `specify bundle` (#3070) establishes role-based distribution as a first-class primitive. With a community submission path now open (#3162) and four example roles shipped, curation, trust signals (`verified` vs `community`), and version-pin enforcement become the next areas to mature. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/blob/main/docs/reference/bundles.md)
-- **A programmable workflow platform** — with the step catalog, JSON output, and `from_json` filter, workflows are now community-extensible and scriptable. The open question is discoverability and pull: the step catalog is new, and adoption will show whether standalone workflow authoring becomes a real ecosystem or stays a power-user niche. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
-- **PyPI publishing** — a publishing workflow and README metadata landed (#2915, closing #2623), but official PyPI distribution is not yet the recommended install path; `uv tool install` and git remain canonical. Completing and hardening this reduces friction for restricted/air-gapped environments. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
-- **CLI architecture cleanup** — the `__init__.py` decomposition reached 7/8 (extensions/_commands.py, #3014), with one part remaining. The payoff is contributor onboarding and test isolation. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
-- **Toward a stable release** — v0.10.0's removal of `--no-git` and the git extension going opt-in was the first real breaking change, and the run to v0.12 reflects sustained pre-1.0 momentum. Expect continued API stabilization as the surface (bundles, workflows, converge) settles. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
-- **Experience simplification** — review overload, ceremony for small tasks, and verbose markdown output remain the most-cited concerns across June's balanced reviews (Particula Tech, ypyl, vc.ru, multiple Korean and Japanese pieces). The lean preset, TinySpec, `/speckit.converge`, and role bundles provide answers; surfacing them to new users is the ongoing opportunity.

-### Usage README Requirements
-
-The catalog `documentation` field must point at a README that explains how to use
-**this preset** — not a product pitch for a broader framework or a separate CLI.
-
-The submission workflow **mechanically enforces** that the linked README is a GitHub-hosted
-URL whose path ends with `README.md`, resolves to a readable file, and contains at least one
-valid `specify preset add ...` command. The remaining items (preferring a preset-scoped README
-in monorepos, covering the minimum structure) are expectations a human reviewer checks —
-follow them so your submission isn't sent back for changes.
-
-- **Point `documentation` at the preset-scoped README.** In a monorepo where the preset
-  lives in a subdirectory (e.g. `presets/<id>/`), link the README inside that directory
-  (`presets/<id>/README.md`) rather than the repository-root README. The root README is
-  often a marketing/overview page; the catalog should surface preset usage instead. The key
-  requirement is that this README is reachable at the `documentation` URL so users can read
-  it *before* downloading the release artifact — it's fine for the same file to also ship
-  inside the release ZIP.
-- **Include a valid Spec Kit CLI install command** *(enforced)*. The linked README must
-  contain at least one `specify preset add ...` invocation. Preferably use the
-  catalog-install form whose URL matches your Download URL:
-
-  ```bash
-  # <download-url> is the same URL you submit as the catalog Download URL —
-  # either the tag archive or a release asset, e.g.:
-  specify preset add --from https://github.com/<org>/<repo>/archive/refs/tags/vX.Y.Z.zip
-  specify preset add --from https://github.com/<org>/<repo>/releases/download/vX.Y.Z/<id>-X.Y.Z.zip
-  ```
-
-  `specify preset add <id>` and `specify preset add --dev <path>` are also accepted, but the
-  `--from <download-url>` form is the clearest signal that the README documents this exact
-  preset release.
-- **Cover the minimum structure** so a reader can decide whether the preset fits:
-  - What the preset does / what it provides
-  - The install command using Spec Kit CLI syntax (above)
-  - When to use it / when not to use it
-
-A submission whose linked README lacks a valid `specify preset add ...` command **fails
-validation** (workflow check 2d) and will not be added until corrected.

-    Works for public ``github.com`` and for GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES)

-    (exact hostname or ``*.suffix``) — supply the hosts the user has trusted
