Release v0.6.9 - PR Notes Helper

Reference sheet for the v0.6.9 maintenance release. This cut repairs the published CompareVI.Tools bundle so released downstream consumers can execute the hosted NI Linux VI-history contract without a maintainer checkout.

1. Summary

Release v0.6.9 focuses on three themes:

  • Executable released bundle: CompareVI.Tools-v0.6.9.zip now carries the hosted NI Linux helper tools/Get-LabVIEWContainerShellContract.ps1 instead of shipping an incomplete runtime contract.
  • Faster local replay: maintainers can now mirror vi-history-scenarios-windows through the checked-in Windows Docker replay lane instead of waiting on the hosted proof for every iteration.
  • Released-backend recovery: downstream VI-history consumers can once again rely on the published bundle rather than a maintainer override or local source tree to execute the canonical proof path.
  • Narrow maintenance scope: this cut only repairs released bundle executability and local maintainer replay. It does not expand the public VI-history surface or add new product claims.

2. Maintenance Highlights

  • tools/Publish-CompareVIToolsArtifact.ps1 now places tools/Get-LabVIEWContainerShellContract.ps1 in the bundle and advertises it through the published hosted-runner contract metadata.
  • tools/Test-CompareVIHistoryBundleCertification.ps1 now fails closed if the extracted bundle omits the hosted NI Linux support scripts required by the released consumer path.
  • tools/priority/windows-workflow-replay-lane.mjs now supports a local vi-history-scenarios-windows replay mode so hosted Windows scenario fixes can be iterated on this machine without changing the hosted certification contract.
  • Stable release surfaces now pin 0.6.9, isolating the bundle-contract repair in an immutable stable cut after the broken v0.6.8 publication.

3. Validation Snapshot

  • Release PR required contexts are COMPLETED/SUCCESS:
    • lint
    • pester / normalize
    • smoke-gate
    • Policy Guard (Upstream) / policy-guard
    • commit-integrity
  • Direct bundle proof restored the published hosted NI Linux contract:
    • extracted bundle contains both tools/Run-NILinuxContainerCompare.ps1 and tools/Get-LabVIEWContainerShellContract.ps1
    • bundle certification summary reports status: producer-native-ready
  • node tools/npm/run-script.mjs release:finalize -- 0.6.9 completes from a clean helper lane and writes fresh finalize metadata under tests/results/_agent/release/
  • Published release v0.6.9 includes the signed distribution assets, SHA256SUMS.txt, sbom.spdx.json, and provenance.json
  • comparevi-history repins comparevi-backend-ref.txt to v0.6.9 before the canonical DrawIcon.vi product proof is rerun

4. Reviewer Focus

  • Confirm the maintenance release surfaces align across:
    • package.json
    • Directory.Build.props
    • tools/CompareVI.Tools/CompareVI.Tools.psd1
  • Review the released bundle contract repair for correctness:
    • tools/Publish-CompareVIToolsArtifact.ps1
    • tools/Test-CompareVIHistoryBundleCertification.ps1
    • docs/schemas/comparevi-history-bundle-certification-v1.schema.json
  • Review the release helper packet for consistency:
    • CHANGELOG.md
    • docs/release/TAG_PREP_CHECKLIST.md
    • docs/archive/releases/RELEASE_NOTES_v0.6.9.md

5. Follow-Up After Stable

  1. Re-pin comparevi-history from v0.6.8 to v0.6.9 and rerun the canonical DrawIcon.vi proof on the released backend.
  2. Re-evaluate the current emitted history surface against the real developer question before treating any mode as decision-ready.
  3. Reduce the public mode surface again if the rerun product proof only justifies a narrower mode set.
