release: v2.37.0 (hash attestation + parity-locked version bumper)

Closes #150 (hash attestation): adds an opt-in second layer of defense for
plan injection. After v2.36.1 wrapped task_plan.md content in BEGIN/END
delimiters, the model still parsed the bytes. v2.37.0 adds /plan-attest, a
slash command that locks the current task_plan.md content with a SHA-256
stored at .planning/<active-plan>/.attestation (parallel-plan mode) or
./.plan-attestation (legacy mode). UserPromptSubmit and PreToolUse hooks
recompute the hash on every fire and emit "[PLAN TAMPERED — injection
blocked]" instead of plan content on mismatch. When attestation is set, the
injected context also carries a Plan-SHA256: line for audit. New helper:
scripts/attest-plan.sh and .ps1 with --show / --clear modes, propagated to
all six IDE mirrors that ship scripts.

Closes #151 (parity-locked version bumper): names the regression class
behind v2.34.1, v2.36.0, v2.36.2, v2.36.3 (one of N parity-locked files
forgotten on bump). Fixes it surgically without overshooting into
"regenerate all SKILL.md from canonical" (per-IDE frontmatter and per-
language prose are intentionally divergent). New
scripts/bump-version.py atomically bumps the parity set in one shot. New
tests/test_skill_md_version_parity.py fails the build the moment any
parity-locked file diverges from the canonical version. .continue,
.gemini, .pi, .kiro stay on their separate schemes and are surfaced in
every bump-version run so the omission is explicit.

Other changes:
- tests/test_canonical_script_sync.py: removed leftover duplicate
  CanonicalScriptSyncTests class block (lines 99 to 137); SHARED_SCRIPTS
  extended to ten entries for attest-plan.{sh,ps1}.
- scripts/sync-ide-folders.py: SCRIPTS manifest extended to cover
  attest-plan helpers; existing eight scripts unchanged.
- canonical SKILL.md Security Boundary section: documents the two layers
  of defense and the /plan-attest workflow.
- 14 SKILL.md variants + plugin.json + marketplace.json + CITATION.cff
  bumped to 2.37.0 via scripts/bump-version.py (.continue / .gemini /
  .pi / .kiro left on their own schemes per release scope rule).

Tests: 78 pass, 2 pre-existing Windows exec-bit failures unchanged.

+    Lock the current task_plan.md content with a SHA-256 attestation.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    Use after you finalise (or intentionally edit) a plan. The hooks then refuse
+    to inject plan content into the model context if the file diverges from the
+    attested hash, surfacing a "[PLAN TAMPERED]" warning instead.

+      3. Newest ./.planning/<dir>/ by LastWriteTime
+      4. Legacy ./task_plan.md at project root
+
+.PARAMETER Show
+    Print the stored hash for the active plan.

+.DESCRIPTION
+    Use after you finalise (or intentionally edit) a plan. The hooks then refuse

+# AGENTS.md — planning-with-files agent reference card
+
+This file is the canonical, session-portable reference for how every agent working in this repo must handle commits, releases, version bumps, CHANGELOG entries, and issue/PR communication.
+
+---
+
+## Commit rules
+
+- **Author**: OthmanAdi only. NEVER add `Co-Authored-By:` trailers.
+- **Format**: Conventional Commits — `fix:`, `feat:`, `release:`, `docs:` prefixes.
+- **One squashed commit per release or PR merge.**
+- No `--no-verify`. No force push to master except tag ref updates.
+- Contributors are credited in CHANGELOG `### Thanks` and `CONTRIBUTORS.md`, never in commit trailers.
+
+---
+
+## Release checklist (12 steps)
+
+1. `gh issue view N` and `gh pr view N` — read both in full.
+2. Verify the bug is real: find the exact file/line, grep for the pattern, confirm reporter is correct.
+3. `python -m pytest tests/ -q` — all tests pass before touching anything.
+4. Squash merge: `git fetch origin branch && git merge --squash origin/branch`, then a single commit as OthmanAdi.
+5. CHANGELOG — new version entry at top, `### Fixed`/`### Added`/`### Changed`, sachlich, no em-dashes.
+6. CONTRIBUTORS.md — add reporter/contributor, bump "Total Contributors: N+", update "Last updated" date.
+7. Version bump across all 19 files (see table below).
+8. README — update version badge and add row to releases table.
+9. `git commit`, `git tag vX.Y.Z`, `git push origin master`, `git push origin vX.Y.Z`.
+10. `gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "vX.Y.Z - <short description>" --notes "<release notes>"`.
+11. Post comment on PR and/or issue via `gh issue comment N --body "..."` (run through /humanizer first).
+12. `gh issue close N` if applicable.
+

+
+## Version bump scope

 All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
 
+## [2.37.0] - 2026-05-05
+
+### Security
+
+- **Hash attestation for plan injection** (Issue #150 by @oaabahussain): `task_plan.md` content is auto-injected into the model context on every UserPromptSubmit and PreToolUse fire. v2.36.1 added BEGIN/END delimiters, but the model still parses the bytes. v2.37.0 adds an opt-in second layer: run `/plan-attest` (or `sh scripts/attest-plan.sh`) once a plan is finalised. The script computes a SHA-256 of `task_plan.md` and stores it at `.planning/<active-plan>/.attestation` (parallel-plan mode) or `./.plan-attestation` (legacy mode). On every hook fire, the inline check recomputes the hash and compares. On mismatch, injection is blocked and the model receives `[planning-with-files] [PLAN TAMPERED — injection blocked]` instead of plan content. When attestation is set, the injected context also carries a `Plan-SHA256:` line so the model can log the attested hash for audit. Opt-in: absence of an attestation file preserves the v2.36.x behavior.
+
+### Added
+
+- **`/plan-attest` slash command**: thin wrapper around `attest-plan.sh` with `--show` (print the stored hash) and `--clear` (re-open the plan to free editing).
+- **`scripts/attest-plan.sh` and `scripts/attest-plan.ps1`**: SHA-256 attestation helper for both POSIX shell and Windows PowerShell. Resolves the active plan via the same `$PLAN_ID` / `.active_plan` / newest-mtime / legacy chain used by the rest of the skill.
+- **`scripts/bump-version.py`** (Issue #151 by @oaabahussain): atomic version bumper for the parity-locked file set (14 SKILL.md variants, `plugin.json`, `marketplace.json`, `CITATION.cff`). Replaces 17 hand edits with one `python scripts/bump-version.py X.Y.Z`. Prevents the "missed one variant" regression class that hit v2.34.1, v2.36.0, v2.36.2, and v2.36.3. `.continue`, `.gemini`, `.pi`, and `.kiro` are intentionally excluded (separate version schemes); the script lists them at the end of every run so the omission stays visible.
+- **`tests/test_skill_md_version_parity.py`** (Issue #151): four assertions that fail the build the moment any parity-locked file diverges from the canonical SKILL.md version. Catches drift in CI before it can ship.
+- **`tests/test_plan_attestation.py`**: six tests covering legacy and parallel-plan attestation, `--show`, `--clear`, tamper detection, and missing-plan handling.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Duplicate test class in `tests/test_canonical_script_sync.py`**: a leftover second copy of `CanonicalScriptSyncTests` (lines 99 to 137) was running the same assertions twice. Removed.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Security Boundary section in canonical SKILL.md**: now documents the two layers of defense (delimiters + attestation) and adds an explicit rule recommending `/plan-attest` after finalising a plan.
+- **`scripts/sync-ide-folders.py`**: SCRIPTS manifest now includes `attest-plan.sh` and `attest-plan.ps1`. The eight pre-existing scripts are unchanged.
+- **`tests/test_canonical_script_sync.py`**: `SHARED_SCRIPTS` extended to ten entries (added `attest-plan.sh` and `attest-plan.ps1`). The regression test now covers all user-facing scripts.
+- Version bumped to 2.37.0 across 14 SKILL.md variants, `plugin.json`, `marketplace.json`, and `CITATION.cff` via `scripts/bump-version.py`.
+
+### Thanks
+
+- @oaabahussain for two thoughtful, well-scoped P1 reports: Issue #150 turned the v2.36.1 delimiter mitigation into a verifiable cryptographic guarantee, and Issue #151 named the regression class behind four consecutive releases and proposed the right surgical fix.
+
+## [2.36.3] - 2026-05-01
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Missing parallel planning scripts in canonical skill copy**: `resolve-plan-dir.sh`, `resolve-plan-dir.ps1`, `set-active-plan.sh`, and `set-active-plan.ps1` were added to `scripts/` in v2.36.0 but never propagated to `skills/planning-with-files/scripts/` or the IDE mirror folders. Users installing via `npx skills add` could not use the v2.36.0 parallel planning workflow because the key scripts were not shipped in the install. Same class of gap as PR #149.
+- **`sync-ide-folders.py` manifest incomplete**: the sync manifest only listed the original five scripts and did not include the four new v2.36.0 scripts. Running the sync tool after this release propagates all nine user-facing scripts to all IDE mirrors.
+- **`test_canonical_script_sync.py` did not cover new scripts**: the SHARED_SCRIPTS tuple in the regression test from PR #149 only listed the original four scripts. Updated to include all eight user-facing scripts that must stay in sync between `scripts/` and `skills/planning-with-files/scripts/`.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Parallel planning documentation in SKILL.md**: the Scripts section now documents `resolve-plan-dir.sh` and `set-active-plan.sh` with usage descriptions and a parallel task workflow example showing how to use slug mode, `set-active-plan.sh`, and `export PLAN_ID` together.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Version bumped to 2.36.3 across 14 SKILL.md variants, `plugin.json`, `marketplace.json`, and `CITATION.cff`
+
+## [2.36.2] - 2026-05-01
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Canonical skill copy missing slug-mode init-session** (PR #149 by @voidborne-d): `skills/planning-with-files/scripts/init-session.sh` and `init-session.ps1` were not updated when slug mode shipped in v2.36.0. Users installing via `npx skills add` or any of the nine IDE folders received the legacy-only v2.0.0 script, silently missing the parallel plan isolation feature. Fixed by syncing the top-level canonical scripts into the skill directory and all IDE mirrors.
+- **Shebang drift in IDE mirror scripts**: `check-complete.sh` in `.codebuddy/`, `.codex/`, `.continue/`, `.factory/`, `.gemini/`, `.pi/` folders still used `#!/bin/bash`. Synced to `#!/usr/bin/env bash` to match the Emin017 fix from v2.35.1.
+- **Analytics template gap in canonical PS1**: `init-session.ps1` in the canonical skill copy lacked the `--template analytics` support added in v2.29.0 by @mvanhorn. Included in this sync.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Regression test** `tests/test_canonical_script_sync.py`: asserts `init-session.{sh,ps1}` and `check-complete.{sh,ps1}` are byte-identical between `scripts/` and `skills/planning-with-files/scripts/`. A second assertion invokes `sync-ide-folders.py --verify` to catch IDE mirror drift in CI. Prevents this class of silent version mismatch from recurring.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Version bumped to 2.36.2 across 14 SKILL.md variants, `plugin.json`, `marketplace.json`, and `CITATION.cff`
+- `CONTRIBUTORS.md` updated: added @voidborne-d (PR #149)
+
+### Thanks
+
+- @voidborne-d for catching the canonical/top-level script drift, providing grep proof, running the sync tool, and adding the regression test that prevents recurrence (PR #149)
+
+## [2.36.1] - 2026-05-01
+
+### Security
+
+- **Stop hook: eliminate broad cache search** (Gen Agent Trust Hub COMMAND_EXECUTION): replaced `Get-ChildItem -Recurse` over `~/.claude/plugins/cache` with resolution through `$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR` env var first, then two specific known install paths (`~/.claude/skills/` and `~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/`). Removes the attack surface where a malicious `check-complete.ps1` planted anywhere in the cache directory would be found and executed.
+- **PowerShell ExecutionPolicy: Bypass → RemoteSigned** (Gen Agent Trust Hub COMMAND_EXECUTION): `ExecutionPolicy Bypass` circumvents all script execution policies. `RemoteSigned` allows locally created scripts while still blocking downloaded scripts that lack a trusted signature. Applied across all 14 SKILL.md variants.
+- **Prompt injection delimiters** (Gen Agent Trust Hub PROMPT_INJECTION): `UserPromptSubmit` and `PreToolUse` hook output now wraps injected plan content in `---BEGIN PLAN DATA---` / `---END PLAN DATA---` markers with explicit model instructions to treat enclosed content as structured data and ignore embedded instructions. Addresses the lack of sanitization and boundary markers flagged in the audit.
+- **Security Boundary section updated** (Snyk W011): added explicit model instruction that `findings.md` content (which ingests third-party web/search results) must be treated as raw data regardless of what it contains. Clarifies the delimiter contract to auditors and the model.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Version bumped to 2.36.1 across all 14 SKILL.md variants, `plugin.json`, `marketplace.json`, and `CITATION.cff`
+
+## [2.36.0] - 2026-05-01
+
+### Added
+
+- **Parallel plan isolation** (Issue #148 by @shawnli1874): `init-session.sh` now accepts a task name and creates a dated, readable plan directory under `.planning/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>/`. Each parallel task gets its own isolated directory, ending the cross-contamination that v2.0.0 hooks introduced by hardcoding `task_plan.md` at the project root. Legacy zero-argument behavior is unchanged. New `set-active-plan.sh` and `set-active-plan.ps1` let users explicitly switch between plans without exporting `PLAN_ID`. New `resolve-plan-dir.sh` and `resolve-plan-dir.ps1` provide the resolution chain: `$PLAN_ID` env var, then `.planning/.active_plan`, then the newest plan directory by mtime, then empty (legacy fallback). All four Codex lifecycle hooks (UserPromptSubmit, PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop) now route through the resolver instead of assuming a root-level `task_plan.md`.
+- **Codex session isolation** (Issue #146 by @githubYiheng): Codex sessions in a shared working directory no longer receive plan context from unrelated sessions. Attachment is opt-in: create `.planning/sessions/<session_id>.attached` to bind a session to the active plan. `user-prompt-submit.sh`, `pre_tool_use.py`, `stop.py`, and `post_tool_use.py` all gate on session attachment before injecting context or blocking. Backward compatible: absence of `.planning/sessions/` preserves existing single-session behavior.
+- **Hermes integration notes** (Issue #147 by @09ashishkapoor): `docs/hermes.md` gains an `Integration Notes` section that separates what the adapter provides today from what is not full parity with hook-native platforms. Covers current support level, recommended integration pattern, and a tradeoffs table. Reduces confusion for users migrating from Claude Code hook workflows.
+- **34 new tests**: `tests/test_resolve_plan_dir.py` (7), `tests/test_init_session_slug.py` (6), `tests/test_hook_resolver_integration.py` (10), `tests/test_codex_session_isolation.py` (5), `tests/test_set_active_plan.py` (6).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`resolve_latest_dir` skips non-plan directories**: auto-discovery previously matched any subdirectory under `.planning/`, including the new `sessions/` directory. It now requires `task_plan.md` to be present, preventing session isolation from silently breaking when both features are active.
+- **`short_uuid()` bypasses Windows App Execution Aliases**: the function now probes each Python candidate with a test run before trusting `command -v`, avoiding the case where the Windows Store alias reports presence but exits non-zero.

+
+Steps:
+1. Resolve the active plan: prefer `${PLAN_ID}` env var, then `.planning/.active_plan`, then newest `.planning/<dir>/`, then legacy `./task_plan.md`.
+2. Compute the SHA-256 of the resolved `task_plan.md`.
+3. Write the hex digest to `.planning/<active-plan>/.attestation` (parallel-plan mode) or `./.plan-attestation` (legacy mode).
+4. Confirm to the user with the short hash (first 12 hex chars) and the storage path.

+Implementation:
+- On Linux/macOS/Git Bash: `sh ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/attest-plan.sh`
+- On Windows PowerShell: `& "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills\planning-with-files\scripts\attest-plan.ps1"`
+
+Flags:
+- `--show` — print the currently stored hash and where it lives.
+- `--clear` — remove the attestation (re-open the plan to free editing).
+
+After running this command, every UserPromptSubmit and PreToolUse hook fire compares `task_plan.md` against the stored hash. If they diverge, the hook emits `[PLAN TAMPERED — injection blocked]` instead of feeding plan content into the model. Re-run `/plan-attest` whenever you intentionally edit and re-approve the plan.

+
+## Integration Notes
+
+This section is for users who have installed the Hermes adapter and are
+comparing its behavior to hook-native platforms such as Claude Code.
+
+### What works today
+
+The adapter provides reliable support for the following:
+
+- **Initialization.** `planning_with_files_init` creates `task_plan.md`,
+  `findings.md`, and `progress.md` in the target project and sets up the
+  planning scaffold correctly.
+- **Status queries.** `planning_with_files_status` summarizes current planning
+  state and surfaces which phases are active or blocked.
+- **Completion checks.** `planning_with_files_check_complete` runs the
+  completion check helper and returns a structured result the agent can act on.
+- **Context injection.** The project plugin injects active planning context on
+  later turns and reminds the agent to update planning files after write-like
+  actions. This keeps planning state visible across a multi-step workflow.
+- **Explicit planning commands.** `/plan` and `/plan-status` work as expected
+  when the skill is loaded and the project plugin is active.
+
+### What is not a full equivalent of hook-native platforms
+
+Hermes does not expose a native hook or lifecycle API comparable to the stop
+and pre-tool hooks available on Claude Code. The consequences are:
+
+- **Stop/block enforcement is adapter-driven, not platform-native.** On
+  Claude Code, a stop hook can interrupt execution at the platform level before
+  the agent takes an action. On Hermes, completion checks and blocking
+  reminders are delivered as tool responses and context injections. The agent
+  can receive and act on them, but there is no platform-level gate that halts
+  execution unconditionally.
+- **No pre-tool or post-tool lifecycle callbacks.** The project plugin injects
+  reminders, but it cannot intercept a tool call mid-flight or force a rollback
+  the way a hook middleware can.
+- **More manual setup.** Hook-native platforms wire lifecycle callbacks
+  automatically once the plugin is installed. On Hermes you must explicitly
+  enable project plugins, add the skill bundle to your profile, and start
+  Hermes from the correct working directory (see Install above).
+
+If you are migrating from a Claude Code workflow and expecting the same
+stop/block behavior you observed there, you will need to adjust your
+expectations and your integration pattern accordingly.
+
+### Recommended integration pattern
+
+1. Enable project plugins before starting Hermes
+   (`HERMES_ENABLE_PROJECT_PLUGINS=1`).
+2. Load the `planning-with-files` skill at the start of each session, either
+   via a profile default or an explicit `/load planning-with-files` command.
+3. Call `planning_with_files_init` once per project to create the planning
+   files. Do not skip this step even if you are resuming an existing project,
+   because the plugin uses the presence of these files to decide whether to
+   inject context.
+4. Rely on the explicit planning tools (`/plan`, `/plan-status`,
+   `planning_with_files_check_complete`) as your primary control points rather
+   than assuming platform-level enforcement.
+5. Treat completion checks as advisory signals. Build your workflow so the
+   agent calls `planning_with_files_check_complete` at natural checkpoints and
+   acts on the result, rather than expecting the platform to block progress
+   automatically.
+6. Use context injection as a substitute for hook reminders. The project plugin
+   is designed to keep planning discipline visible throughout a conversation.
+   If you find the agent drifting from the plan, a manual `/plan-status` call
+   will re-anchor it.
+
+### Tradeoffs
+
+| Aspect | Detail |
+|---|---|
+| Usable today | The adapter covers the core planning workflow without requiring a hook-native platform. |
+| Planning discipline preserved | Context injection and explicit commands keep `task_plan.md` and `progress.md` in sync across multi-step workflows. |
+| Multi-step workflow support | Init, status, and completion check tools compose naturally into longer agentic loops. |
+| No stop/block parity | Completion enforcement is advisory. The platform will not halt the agent unconditionally at a lifecycle boundary. |
+| Manual setup required | Project plugins must be enabled, the skill bundle must be registered, and the working directory must be correct. |
+| Hook-based expectations may not transfer | Workflows designed around Claude Code's stop hook will need changes before they work correctly on Hermes. |

+"""bump-version.py — Atomically bump every parity-locked file to a new version.
+
+The repo intentionally keeps per-IDE frontmatter and per-language prose divergent
+across SKILL.md variants, but the `metadata.version` field (plus the version
+field in plugin.json, marketplace.json, CITATION.cff) must always agree across
+the parity set. Past releases (v2.34.1, v2.36.0, v2.36.2, v2.36.3) repeatedly
+hit "missed one variant" regressions because the bump was done by hand.
+
+Run before tagging a release:
+    python scripts/bump-version.py 2.37.0
+    python scripts/bump-version.py 2.37.0 --dry-run
+
+Files touched (parity set, 19 entries):
+    skills/planning-with-files/SKILL.md            (canonical)
+    skills/planning-with-files-{ar,de,es,zh,zht}/SKILL.md
