v1.17.1

README.md is cut down to a front door page — commitbrief.com/docs is now the documentation source of truth — and docs-check gained a leak-lint pass that fails the build on internal maintainer traces or stray version references.

Released September 23, 2026

Changed

  • README.md cut from 1250 lines to a front door (tagline, Why, Install, Quick start, provider list, docs map, Stability, Contributing, License). commitbrief.com is now the documentation source of truth; reference material that used to live in the README — command surface, configuration, filtering, MCP server, policy gate, credential audit, and more — has a home under commitbrief.com/docs.
  • docs-check is re-scoped to two layers: the existing code -> generated surface-inventory drift check, plus a new README.md leak-lint pass that fails the build on internal maintainer traces and prose version traces such as “Since v1.17.0” or “(v1.7.0)”.

Removed

  • The Markdown-rendering engine that used to splice the surface inventory into README’s generated regions, and the tests that exercised it. --gen-surface and the underlying surface inventory are unchanged.
