lab-os v0.3.2

See CHANGELOG for v0.3.2.

lab-os v0.3.0

Lab OS v0.3.0 (three-archetype init + lab-os create)

Intent: Ship the three-template model (agnostic, product-starter, meta), a single npm package (lab-os) with lab-os create / init --template, and a publishable tarball that excludes Terraform .terraform/ caches.

Related paths: CHANGELOG.md, ../30-runbooks/RELEASE_RUNBOOK.md

Last reviewed: 2026-04-17

Highlights

• Templates: template/agnostic/, template/product-starter/, template/meta/ — pick with lab-os init --template <name> or lab-os create (interactive or --yes --template … --target …).
• Single package: create-lab-os removed; use npx lab-os create only.
• Packaging: .npmignore excludes **/.terraform/ so the published package stays small (run terraform init in generated labs locally).

Verification checklist

• npm test passes
• npm run validate -- --target examples/minimal-lab and examples/hybrid-governance-lab pass
• npm run docs:check-frontmatter and npm run docs:check-links pass
• npm publish --dry-run --access public shows sensible tarball size (no .terraform provider blobs)

Smoke commands (from an empty temp directory)

npx lab-os@0.3.0 create --yes --template agnostic --target ./smoke-agnostic
npx lab-os@0.3.0 create --yes --template product-starter --target ./smoke-product
npx lab-os@0.3.0 create --yes --template meta --target ./smoke-meta
npx lab-os@0.3.0 validate --target ./smoke-agnostic
npx lab-os@0.3.0 validate --target ./smoke-product
npx lab-os@0.3.0 validate --target ./smoke-meta

lab-os v0.2.1

Lab OS v0.2.1 (CLI working directory fix)

Patch release for npx / global lab-os installs: init and other commands resolve relative paths from the user’s shell directory (not from node_modules/lab-os). Child script paths are absolute so templates still load from the package root.

Fixed

• lab-os CLI cwd: npx lab-os and global installs run child scripts with the caller’s current working directory; lab-os init ./my-lab creates my-lab where you ran the command.

Full changelog: CHANGELOG.md.

lab-os v0.2.0

Lab OS v0.2.0 (npm + symmetrical seed)

Intent: Record highlights and verification evidence for v0.2.0.

v0.2.0 is the first public npm release of the lab-os package and ships the symmetrical seed: every initialized lab includes the .ai/ harness namespace (skills, rules, defaults).

Highlights

• npm: lab-os published to the public registry; install with npm install -g lab-os or npx lab-os@latest ….
• Symmetrical seed: template/.ai/ copied on init; investigation deck and Cursor defaults available from day one.
• Governance: ADR-0002 (harness namespace), ADR-0003 (three-option create, phase 2 design), PRODUCT_LAB_FILTER_RUNBOOK.md, LEAN_FOUNDATIONS.md; COPY_READY_INVENTORY.md documents init includes/excludes.
• CLI: lab-os create stub documents upcoming Svelte-style picker; create defers to init until phase 2.
• Canonical GitHub: repository URLs align with JasonCheroske/Lab-OS.

Notes

• Tarball: lab-starter-v0.2.0.tar.gz + checksum (optional path for teams not using npm).
• Phase 2 follow-on: interactive create, template/agnostic split, product-starter population (see ADR-0003).
• CLI cwd: For npx / global installs, use lab-os ≥ 0.2.1 so init ./my-lab resolves from your shell directory (see v0.2.1 release).

Full changelog: CHANGELOG.md.

Lab OS v0.1.0

Lab OS v0.1.0 (Seed Release)

Intent: Record highlights and verification evidence for v0.1.0.

Related paths (Ironic Examples): MIGRATION_CHECKLIST.md, RELEASE_RUNBOOK.md

Last reviewed: 2026-03-26 - moved into taxonomy and normalized with release metadata.

v0.1.0 is the first public GitHub seed release of lab-os-lab.

Highlights

• Establishes canonical seed structure for AI-native engineering labs.
• Includes scaffold, validation, and maturity-promotion scripts.
• Adds release runbook and migration/release guidance for external users.
• Adds initialized starter lab tarball as primary onboarding artifact.

Verification checklist

• npm test passes
• npm run validate -- --target examples/minimal-lab passes
• npm run validate -- --target examples/hybrid-governance-lab passes
• Temporary target promotion smoke-test passes
• Secrets/artifact scan completed

Notes

• Start here (primary): lab-starter-v0.1.0.tar.gz + checksum file.
• Advanced path: use lab-os-lab source to author custom seed variants.
• Package-manager release automation is intentionally deferred to Phase 2.
