Unreleased​

  • curt-convert bulk-output collision gap closed (commit 4719816): colliding curtFilename outputs in one run now get a deterministic -<6 hex> SHA-256-of-source-path suffix instead of silently overwriting; post-fix corpus revalidation 1169 inputs → 1169 distinct outputs, 0 self-check failures, deterministic across runs. Gap removed from the curt-convert tracker entry; dated fix note appended to CAPABILITIES.md finding 3.
  • Ecosystem tracker grew 5 → 9 consumers: curt-vcon (.curt ⇄ vCon bridge), curt-convert (Claude Code JSONL → .curt), and curt-openwebui (TS CLI + draft Python pipelines filter) added to capabilities.json / CAPABILITIES.md. All three are same-author (JordanNewell), local and unpublished — the first consumers to depend on the curt-format package rather than vendoring, and the first writers to use the spec curtFilename algorithm. Same-author emissions do not promote draft extensions (tool-linkage stays draft). Per-entry evidence dated 2026-11-01; lastAudited (2026-10-14) not bumped — no full re-audit. No spec or package changes; curt-format stays 1.2.0.
  • Documentation corrections from the post-release audit: SPEC's bulk convention now states the L3 rules normatively (import valid entries, report corrupted ones — never silently drop; ignore directory entries); spec-revision pins updated to curt-format@1.2.0; the unused conversation-level provider/model fields were removed from the CurtConversation type (they were never in the spec's conversation table; the fields ride unknown-field passthrough or the usage-metadata extension).
  • Publication history corrected: 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 were tagged in-repo but never published to npm. 1.2.0 is the first npm release.

1.2.0 — 2026-10-14​

  • License: MIT. The spec, reference implementation, schema, and fixtures were BUSL-1.1 through 1.1.0; they are now permanently open. Applications remain BUSL-1.1 — see the design doc, docs/specs/2026-10-14-curt-standard-framework-design.md.
  • Ecosystem capability tracker: CAPABILITIES.md + machine-readable capabilities.json — per-consumer read/write, spec revision implemented, conformance gaps (first audit 2026-10-14: 5 consumers in, 8 repos out, zero consumers on the curt-format package).
  • Conformance: conformance/ — levels L1 CORE / L2 NAMED / L3 BULK / L4 extensions, executable vectors (conformance/vectors/), claim process. capabilities.json gains conformanceLevel / extensions per consumer (first grading 2026-10-14: only the reference implementation passes L1).

1.1.0 — 2026-10-10​

Additive release; format version stays 1 and every v1 file remains valid.

  • parseCurt ignores a single leading UTF-8 BOM (spec clarified; writers still must not emit one).
  • New exports: isCurtMessage, isCurtConversation (the validation rules as type guards), curtFilename (the documented naming convention), and CURT_MAGIC.
  • Non-normative JSON Schema at schema/curt-v1.schema.json, importable from the package; tested to agree with parseCurt.
  • SPEC.md: conformance section, BOM rule, integer-timestamp guidance, precise naming algorithm, untrusted-input notes.
  • Package: exports map, sideEffects: false, schema + SPEC ship in the tarball. CI on Node 20/22 (Ubuntu + Windows). New empty-conversation fixture; 27 tests.

1.0.0 — 2026-10-10​

Initial release: spec, reference implementation, round-trip fixtures. (Never published to npm; the 2025 date in earlier revisions of this file was a typo.)
