## Cold-session checkpoint — resume here

- The active engineering slice is [#167](https://github.com/BaseInfinity/codex-sdlc-wizard/issues/167) in `/Users/stefanayala/codex-sdlc-issue167` on `fix/issue-167-prevent-fable-tools`, based on `a07fc3d3fb77767de4c6e677e24bce628256668a`.
- Make the required Fable lane tool-free by construction: no user settings, no built-in/client/server tools, wildcard denial, plain-JSON review transport, and a bounded preflight that fails before candidate review unless Claude advertises `tools: []` and returns the exact acknowledgement.
- #157 is integrated through PR #166 and #158 through PR #165. #158's one-time meta-review owner exception is consumed; do not reuse or broaden it.
- Finish #167 through focused proof, one canonical 11/11 proof, author self-review, and the normal required Sol High plus Fable High gate. No review exception is available.
- The active engineering slice is [#172](https://github.com/BaseInfinity/codex-sdlc-wizard/issues/172) in `/Users/stefanayala/codex-sdlc-issue172` on `fix/issue-172-fable-verdict-contract`, based on `2a682e2f4a5e31c503c32563efd87cf3fceac561`.
- Align the Fable prompt with the strict review validator: both independent and reconciliation prompts must name exact `CERTIFIED` / `NOT CERTIFIED` literals while aliases remain invalid and non-retryable.
- #157 is integrated through PR #166, #158 through PR #165, and #167 through PR #170. #158's one-time meta-review owner exception is consumed; do not reuse or broaden it. #167 passed normal Sol High plus Fable High review and both pre/post-merge Windows CI gates.
- #86 is parked at proven candidate tree `2e06247acd75b36dea95dd16d199e3f7d3b986be` after two Fable High attempts returned the unsupported `pass` alias. Neither attempt certified; do not retry or normalize the alias.
- Do not edit, stage, clean, or merge the dirty root checkout. It contains unrelated historical work.
- After #167 integrates, complete [#86](https://github.com/BaseInfinity/codex-sdlc-wizard/issues/86) so Sol High is the only autonomous Sol effort. Then create a fresh authorized plan for the frozen [#109](https://github.com/BaseInfinity/codex-sdlc-wizard/issues/109) v4 candidate; do not reuse its consumed gate attempt or its obsolete v2/v3 plans.
- After #172 integrates, resume [#86](https://github.com/BaseInfinity/codex-sdlc-wizard/issues/86) from a newly authorized current-main checkpoint. Then create a fresh authorized plan for the frozen [#109](https://github.com/BaseInfinity/codex-sdlc-wizard/issues/109) v4 candidate; do not reuse consumed gate attempts or obsolete plans.
- Continue through the complete `1.0.0` block below. Do not start post-1.0 work while an earlier release blocker remains open.

- Latest published npm release: [`codex-sdlc-wizard@0.7.37`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/codex-sdlc-wizard/v/0.7.37).
- Development package metadata: `0.7.38`; it is not a published release.
- Next major release: [`1.0.0 — Bounded autonomous delivery`](https://github.com/BaseInfinity/codex-sdlc-wizard/milestone/2).

- The synchronized 1.0 milestone contains nine open release issues and fourteen completed issues as of 2026-08-23.
- The release objective is bounded autonomous delivery: exact-candidate proof, terminating independent review, honest failures, one canonical workflow entry, trustworthy Windows behavior, real Windows acceptance, and immutable publish verification.
- Real Windows Codex Desktop and CLI acceptance remains the final hardware-dependent gate before publish verification.
- `1.0.0` is the next public release. Do not divert the release train into another 0.7.x feature batch.
