feat(release): per-plugin version manifest (versions.json) + tag-independent Claude updater - #44
Conversation
The status POST body omits `version`, so the server substitutes "unknown", isNewerVersion returns false, and update_available was never true — the notice could not print. It would be meaningless even if it did: a freshly installed or freshly upgraded plugin is current by definition. Sending a real version instead would require picking one of six independently versioned plugins. The status POST itself stays — it is the installer's connectivity/key check and registers the roster row.
GitHub serves every release asset as application/octet-stream with an attachment disposition (verified against a live asset URL). For that content type Windows PowerShell 5.1's Invoke-WebRequest returns a WebResponseObject whose .Content is a byte[], where pwsh 7 returns a string. Coerced into a [string] the array becomes "123 34 112 ..." — so the manifest regex would never match, the updater would log "could not resolve latest claude version" and silently never update on Windows, while macOS worked fine. Exactly the Windows-only silent failure the .ps1 halves are written to avoid. Get-RogueManifestVersion now takes an untyped body and decodes a byte[] as UTF-8 first; the parameter had to lose its [string] type because the coercion happened at bind time. Covered by a byte[] case in tests/test_auto_update_ps1.ps1.

remaining plugin, read its authoritative version from the corresponding source
file or manifest, compare it with the flattened output, and use the existing

Both from CodeRabbit review on #44, both real gaps. 1. test_auto_update_sh.sh ran the script under `bash`, but hooks.json fires it as `sh "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/auto-update.sh"` — an explicit interpreter overrides the `#!/usr/bin/env bash` shebang, so production executes under dash on Linux. Nothing covered that: the "Shell scripts parse" step picks its checker from the shebang and used `bash -n`. A bashism in the new version compare would have shipped undetected. The test now honors TEST_SH (default sh) and CI runs it twice, sh and dash. The compare is dash-clean as written. 2. test_plugin_versions_sh.sh asserted only claude and antigravity against their source files, so a wrong slug-to-file mapping for codex/cursor/copilot/gemini produced a valid-looking X.Y.Z that every other check accepted — the exact bug class this manifest exists to end. All six are now pinned to their own version file, plus an assertion that the six are not one value repeated. Verified by pointing codex at cursor's manifest: the old test passed, the new one fails.
Valid review finding on #44. Both readers in plugin-versions.sh matched a three-field SUBSTRING of the value and discarded the rest, so the build-hard guarantee the file documents was not actually delivered. Measured before fixing: "version":"1.2.3-beta" -> published as 1.2.3 "version":"1.2.3+build7" -> published as 1.2.3 "version":"1.2.3.4" -> published as 1.2.3 A manifest asserting a version the plugin does not have is exactly the silent-lie class this manifest exists to end, and it is worse than a failed build because nothing downstream can detect it. Antigravity's check was looser still. `case $v in [0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*)` is a GLOB, where `*` is a wildcard, so it accepted and emitted VERBATIM: 1.2.3-beta 1a.2b.3c 9.9.9junk 1.2.3.4.5 1.2.3- Both now extract the complete value and require it to match ^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\. [0-9]+$ via one shared _require_bare_semver. Three details worth keeping: - The JSON grep matches `[^"]*`, not a digit-anchored subpattern, so a malformed first "version" field FAILS rather than being stepped over in favour of a later well-formed one. The first field is the authoritative one. - Bash [[ =~ ]] rather than a pipe into `grep -qE '^...$'`: grep anchors per LINE, so a value with an embedded newline could satisfy it on its first line alone. - Surrounding whitespace and a CRLF ending are still stripped, not rejected - a VERSION file saved by a Windows editor is legitimate. Asserted, along with multi-digit fields (11.22.33), so the tightening cannot overshoot. Failures name the file and the offending value, exit 1, and emit no partial manifest (the heredoc sits after all six reads, so set -e aborts first). Scope: the publisher only. The consumers' looseness is benign in the safe direction - Get-RogueManifestVersion requires a closing quote, so a bad manifest value yields null and the updater fails open rather than upgrading on a guess.

Publishes a
versions.jsonrelease asset carrying all six plugin versions, andmakes the Claude auto-updater read it instead of the release tag — so a release
name no longer has to encode any plugin's version.
Implements
docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-20-plugin-version-manifest.md(spec:
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-20-plugin-version-manifest-design.md).Why
One release tag cannot describe six independently versioned plugins. The tag is
built from the Claude manifest alone, so the backend compared a current Codex
(1.0.2), Gemini (1.0.26) and Antigravity (1.0.25) install against
1.0.27andshowed them Outdated, while a Copilot install nine releases behind (1.2.2)
read Up to date. The tag lied about Claude too: at
v1.0.27the manifestread 1.0.26.
What changed
scripts/plugin-versions.shscripts/build-release.shplugin_version <slug>, so the manifest and the tarballs cannot disagree. Writesdist/versions.json. Drops the|| echo "unknown"fallback..github/workflows/release.ymlversions.jsonalongside the tarballs; acceptsr*tags as well asv*.plugins/rogue/scripts/auto-update.{sh,ps1}claudekey and compare by semver ordering instead of string-equality againsttag_name.install.shupdate_availablenotice.CLAUDE.mdplugin.json+ bothmarketplace.jsonfields).No tag in this PR. Per the migration plan the transitional
v1.0.28tag iscut after merge, deliberately using the old scheme so installs still running
the tag-comparing updater upgrade through the mechanism they already have. The
date scheme (
rYYYY.MM.DD) starts at the release after that.The anti-loop property
The old code compared the tag to
v${installed}with string equality, whichcannot tell newer from older. Once a release name stops carrying a version, a
manifest sitting behind an install would have re-run the installer every 24h
forever. Both halves now upgrade only on strictly-newer, asserted in both test
files (
older manifest does not run the installer).Two defects found in the plan while implementing
1. The PowerShell test was a silent green.
auto-update.ps1stands down onnon-Windows with a bare
exit 0; dot-sourced, that terminates the testprocess — exit 0, no output, every assertion unreachable. The plan's "verify it
fails" step passed against an unimplemented feature. The test now asserts
statically, before the dot-source, that the
ROGUE_PS_LIB_ONLYseam sitsabove the stand-down, and confirms both helpers are defined afterwards.

empty version file. Also pins that
build-release.shhas exactly zerodirect version reads left.
tests/test_auto_update_sh.sh— drives the script end to end with a fakecurland a throwawayHOME, asserting the upgrade decision for newer /equal / older / missing-key / garbage / unreachable manifests, numeric
