• feat: add Tabnine CLI agent support
• Multi-Catalog Support (#1707): Extension catalog system now supports multiple active catalogs simultaneously via a catalog stack
  • New specify extension catalog list command lists all active catalogs with name, URL, priority, and install_allowed status
  • New specify extension catalog add and specify extension catalog remove commands for project-scoped catalog management
  • Default built-in stack includes catalog.json (default, installable) and catalog.community.json (community, discovery only) — community extensions are now surfaced in search results out of the box
  • specify extension search aggregates results across all active catalogs, annotating each result with source catalog
  • specify extension add enforces install_allowed policy — extensions from discovery-only catalogs cannot be installed directly
  • Project-level .specify/extension-catalogs.yml and user-level ~/.specify/extension-catalogs.yml config files supported, with project-level taking precedence
  • SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL environment variable still works for backward compatibility (replaces full stack with single catalog)
  • All catalog URLs require HTTPS (HTTP allowed for localhost development)
  • New CatalogEntry dataclass in extensions.py for catalog stack representation
  • Per-URL hash-based caching for non-default catalogs; legacy cache preserved for default catalog
  • Higher-priority catalogs win on merge conflicts (same extension id in multiple catalogs)
  • 13 new tests covering catalog stack resolution, merge conflicts, URL validation, and install_allowed enforcement
  • Updated RFC, Extension User Guide, and Extension API Reference documentation

• fix: Split release process to sync pyproject.toml version with git tags (#1732)

• Copilot Extension Commands Not Visible: Fixed extension commands not appearing in GitHub Copilot when installed via specify extension add --dev
  • Changed Copilot file extension from .md to .agent.md in CommandRegistrar.AGENT_CONFIGS so Copilot recognizes agent files
  • Added generation of companion .prompt.md files in .github/prompts/ during extension command registration, matching the release packaging behavior
  • Added cleanup of .prompt.md companion files when removing extensions via specify extension remove
• Fixed a syntax regression in src/specify_cli/__init__.py in _build_ai_assistant_help() that broke ruff and pytest collection in CI.

• fix: use RELEASE_PAT so tag push triggers release workflow (#1736)
• fix: release-trigger uses release branch + PR instead of direct push to main (#1733)
• fix: Split release process to sync pyproject.toml version with git tags (#1732)

• Version Sync Issue (#1721): Fixed version mismatch between pyproject.toml and git release tags
  • Split release process into two workflows: release-trigger.yml for version management and release.yml for artifact building
  • Version bump now happens BEFORE tag creation, ensuring tags point to commits with correct version
  • Supports both manual version specification and auto-increment (patch version)
  • Git tags now accurately reflect the version in pyproject.toml at that commit
  • Prevents confusion when installing from source

• Updated dependency: bumped astral-sh/setup-uv from 6 to 7

• Updated dependency: bumped actions/setup-python from 5 to 6

• Updated outdated GitHub Actions versions
• Documented dual-catalog system for extensions

• Fixed version command in documentation

• Added Cleanup Extension to README
• Added retrospective extension to community catalog

• Parameter Ordering Issues (#1641): Fixed CLI parameter parsing issue where option flags were incorrectly consumed as values for preceding options
  • Added validation to detect when --ai or --ai-commands-dir incorrectly consume following flags like --here or --ai-skills
  • Now provides clear error messages: "Invalid value for --ai: '--here'"
  • Includes helpful hints suggesting proper usage and listing available agents
  • Commands like specify init --ai-skills --ai --here now fail with actionable feedback instead of confusing "Must specify project name" errors
  • Added comprehensive test suite (5 new tests) to prevent regressions

• AI Skills Installation Bug (#1658): Fixed --ai-skills flag not generating skill files for GitHub Copilot and other agents with non-standard command directory structures
  • Added commands_subdir field to AGENT_CONFIG to explicitly specify the subdirectory name for each agent
  • Affected agents now work correctly: copilot (.github/agents/), opencode (.opencode/command/), windsurf (.windsurf/workflows/), codex (.codex/prompts/), kilocode (.kilocode/workflows/), q (.amazonq/prompts/), and agy (.agent/workflows/)
  • The install_ai_skills() function now uses the correct path for all agents instead of assuming commands/ for everyone

• Qoder CLI detection: Renamed AGENT_CONFIG key from "qoder" to "qodercli" to match the actual executable name, fixing specify check and specify init --ai detection failures

• Generic Agent Support: Added --ai generic option for unsupported AI agents ("bring your own agent")
  • Requires --ai-commands-dir <path> to specify where the agent reads commands from
  • Generates Markdown commands with $ARGUMENTS format (compatible with most agents)
  • Example: specify init my-project --ai generic --ai-commands-dir .myagent/commands/
  • Enables users to start with Spec Kit immediately while their agent awaits formal support

• fix: include 'src/**' path in release workflow triggers (#1646)

• chore(deps): bump github/codeql-action from 3 to 4 (#1635)
