 `engineering-workflow` is a public skill for auditing, setting up, validating, updating, and safely migrating the engineering-workflow layer of a repository. It works with Codex and Claude Code.
 
-Current skill version: `0.8.1`.
+Current skill version: `0.8.2`.
 
 The skill uses `AGENTS.md` as a short map, `PLANS.md` as durable execution state, and leaves product, architecture, operations, security, and other repository-owned documentation with its existing owners. Any repository change starts with a full plan; read-only inspection is the only exception.

 ## Versioning and updates
 
-The project uses semantic versioning. Version 0.8.1 adds exact, user-approved synthetic-fixture privacy review without exposing candidate values to the agent. Version 0.8.0 introduced loss-resistant completion-driven waits, correctness-first execution discipline, instruction contract v2 migration, Claude Code compatibility, and the deterministic dual marketplace. Version 0.7.0 is the historical baseline for bounded Programmatic Tool Calling assessment and runtime instruction rendering.
+The project uses semantic versioning. Version 0.8.2 stops empty compatibility archive directories from producing false missing-index errors while retaining fail-closed checks for real archive content and unsafe index paths. Version 0.8.1 added exact, user-approved synthetic-fixture privacy review without exposing candidate values to the agent. Version 0.8.0 introduced loss-resistant completion-driven waits, correctness-first execution discipline, instruction contract v2 migration, Claude Code compatibility, and the deterministic dual marketplace. Version 0.7.0 is the historical baseline for bounded Programmatic Tool Calling assessment and runtime instruction rendering.
 
 Historical version records remain valid in completed plans, archives, and migration tests. Current-version owners are `SKILL.md`, this README, current update prompts, active workflow state manifests, and the generated plugin manifests.
