Academic Writing Toolkit v0.4.0 turns the repository into one coherent author-control system, from source evidence to exact release.
Highlights
- A new explanation-first README with three editable Figma-backed SVG diagrams.
- 20 local/Codex skills, including new argument governance, peer review, clean-room self-review, and standalone revision escalation.
- Thesis-control schema v3 with strict drift-audit states, deterministic migration, failure-atomic writes, and human-approved cycle gates.
- A clean 10-minute evidence demo and an explicit three-surface boundary for local skills, the Codex plugin, and the ChatGPT App.
- The canonical GitHub branch is now
main; every remote branch with unique work has been integrated.
