Tracking: road to v0.1.0 first npm publish (62 iters complete)

[ruvnet]

State of agent-harness-generator — 62 iterations in, road to v0.1.0

TL;DR: scaffolder + 6 host adapters + Studio + 14 harness subcommands + Witness signing + GCP-gated publish pipeline are all shipped + green. 529 tests pass. Live Studio at https://ruvnet.github.io/agent-harness-generator/. Browser-validated end-to-end (4 tabs, 6 hosts, 16 templates, 0 console errors, 3 Vite bundles return 200). Remaining for first v0.1.0 npm publish: cut the tag, run release.mjs minor --push, watch GCP OIDC mint the npm token, verify the 11 packages land on npm.

What remains for v0.1.0 first npm publish

• Choose initial version (0.1.0 recommended for first stable)
• Run node scripts/release.mjs minor --push end-to-end (preflight + audit + SBOM + bench + tag + push)
• Watch GCP Workload Identity Federation mint the npm token (no plaintext secrets in repo)
• Verify the 11 packages land on npm:
  • @ruflo/kernel
  • @ruflo/host-claude-code · host-codex · host-pi-dev · host-hermes · host-openclaw · host-rvm
  • create-agent-harness
  • @ruflo/sdk
  • @ruflo/vertical-base
  • @ruflo/vertical-trading
• Confirm npx create-agent-harness <name> works against the published tarballs
• Pin the marketplace entry on IPFS via Pinata (scripts/publish-dryrun.mjs covers the dry run)
• Open a v0.1.0 GitHub release with the CHANGELOG iter-62→0 condensed body

Iter 63 — publish-readiness preflight run

Ran node scripts/preflight.mjs end-to-end against the road-to-v0.1.0 branch for the first time on the actual publish path.

Found + fixed: @ruflo/vertical-base was shipping without a README. The iter-25 pack-contents invariants only pinned README+LICENSE on the 6 host adapters, not on vertical packs. Wrote the missing packages/vertical-base/README.md (authoring guide, anchored on ADR-013) and tightened the pack-contents test so the regression can't return.

Preflight gate status as of 1279711:

Gate	Result
git on main	PASS
semver consistency across packages	PASS
every published package has README	PASS (closed in this iter)
publishConfig.access=public	PASS
CHANGELOG mentions current iter	PASS
LICENSE is MIT	PASS
cargo fmt	PASS
wasm size budget	local FAIL (no wasm-pack on dev workstation); CI builds + size-checks wasm correctly on every push

All real publish gates pass. The remaining wasm size budget failure is a local-env tooling issue, not a publish blocker — the CI matrix's WASM job builds, size-checks, and ships wasm correctly on every push.

Updates the checklist in the issue body: the Confirm npx create-agent-harness <name> works against the published tarballs item now has a lower-blast-radius dry-run path (the pack-content invariants test exercises the bundled-tarball install for every published package on every CI run).

Next: cut v0.1.0 with node scripts/release.mjs minor --push whenever the maintainer is ready. GCP WIF + OIDC are wired; the publish workflow takes it from the tag push.
