# Taskforce Loop Engineering 0.12 release acceptance

Status: local release candidate accepted on 2026-08-13. Publication and deployment are explicitly out of scope for this acceptance.

## Terminal outcome

Version 0.12 provides one coherent local package containing:

- P0 Human-Gate Lifecycle v2 with parked waits, throttled reminders and escalations, verified recovery, and restart-safe authorization preservation.
- P1 Action Idempotency and Reservation Contract with immutable request fingerprints, authorization settlement, fenced claims, and unknown-outcome reconciliation.
- P2 Multi-Agent Control Plane with typed todos, capability and authority matching, dependency/quota scheduling, fenced leases, handoff, and orphan recovery.
- P3 read-only Operator Dashboard with normalized P0/P1/P2 projections, loopback serving, static export, redaction, and traversal/XSS protections.

## Acceptance ledger

| Documentation and migration boundary | accepted | `README.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `MIGRATING.md`, and `docs/` |

## Completion boundary

The local release candidate is complete when every ledger item above is accepted and there are no code or documentation failures. A milestone alone cannot satisfy this contract.

Git commit, tag, GitHub release, npm/ClawHub publication, and installation into a production agent are separate externally visible release actions. They require an explicit release decision and are not implied by local acceptance.

Unmet local items: none.

External release gates: publish/tag/push/deploy decision.
