v1.0.0 Readiness Checklist

A strict quality playbook defining the core milestones and checks that must be satisfied before freezing the public MultiModel Dev OS protocol at v1.0.0.

---

1. Core API & Protocol Freeze

• [x] Protocol Specification Freeze: officially release the specification (protocol.md), locking the four root contracts (AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, TASKS.md, RUNBOOK.md).
• [x] JSON Schema Validation: Complete standard JSON schema files under .ai/schema/ to enforce config and template layouts.
• [x] Command API Freeze: Lock the core subcommands (init, verify, validate, doctor, templates) with consistent signatures, preventing breaking options in future minor versions.

---

2. Documentation & Visual Assets

• [x] Navigation Menu Parity: Assure that all nested guidelines, compatibility playbooks, and migration maps are integrated into the hosted VitePress documentation navigation.
• [x] High-Fidelity SVGs: Confirm lightweight, responsive vector assets exist in both root folders and docs public caches.
• [x] Before/After Case Studies: Complete 5 generic but realistic studies demonstrating context sync gains.

---

3. CLI Hardening & Error Handling

• [x] Descriptive Warning Pathways: Ensure the CLI logs descriptive error prompts when scaffolding directories, catching template mismatch errors and conflicts cleanly.
• [x] Zero Dependency Limits: Protect the CLI's pure-Node setup, assuring that zero runtime external packages are added.

---

4. Package Hygiene & Security

• [x] Tarball audit: Ensure npm pack --dry-run reports unpacked sizes under ~260kB and compressed releases under ~76kB.
• [x] Ignored Cache verification: Assert that local compiler caches (docs/.vitepress/dist and docs/.vitepress/cache) and node_modules/ are strictly excluded from the packaging files whitelist.
