Impact Graph, budgeted Context Packs, portable graph export, continuous Watch, compact agent output, and honest repository-local benchmarking form FixMap's first feature release.
Added
Every plan now separates primary task-ranked context from likely impact backed by imports, reverse dependents, routed tests, and repeated Git co-change evidence.
fixmap context packages deterministic source ranges within an explicit estimated-token budget and reports truncation or omissions.
fixmap graph exports the Impact Graph as Mermaid or versioned JSON while preserving relationship direction and evidence.
fixmap benchmark compares BM25, FixMap, and Impact Graph on identical historical parent snapshots without executing repository code.
fixmap watch streams working-tree drift findings and recalculated impact as an agent edits, with Markdown or JSON Lines output.
Compact agent output provides a stable edit, inspect, test, risk, avoid, and uncertainty handoff.
A 32-second motion-first comparison shows two agents handling the same issue, with an original no-vocals soundtrack and no claim of measured agent efficiency.
Improved
Verify recalculates impact around the actual diff and keeps newly related paths advisory.
CLI, MCP, GitHub Action, slash-command discovery, live demo, docs, and website expose the impact evidence consistently.
Evidence
The repository benchmark reports mentioned and unmentioned cohorts, Wilson intervals, raw cases, skip counts, and secondary-file recall.
A frozen agent-study protocol is published without claiming an effectiveness result before controlled runs exist.

FixMap v0.8.9
A complete reliability sweep across ranking, verification, agent discovery, workflows, evidence, and the public product surface.
Added
Install /fixmap for supported coding agents and open the complete feature catalog without supplying a task.
Validate saved reports from the CLI and opt into warning-level Verify failures in the CLI or GitHub Action.
Control fresh scans consistently across CLI, MCP, and Action interfaces with visible cache diagnostics.
Fixed
Ranking, grounding, definitions, file mentions, diffs, Unicode text, workspace routing, exclusions, caching, and cross-language test detection now cover the full reviewed issue set.
Explain, Compare, Verify, Doctor, MCP, remote repositories, and the Action reject malformed or ambiguous state with actionable diagnostics.
GitHub output limits, permissions, API failures, credentials, temporary repositories, and generated metadata are handled defensively.
Improved
The website now uses a calmer editorial design, clearer product navigation, reliable copy feedback, visibility-safe motion, and complete metadata.
README, npm documentation, slash-command setup, release notes, and the post-release checklist cover every supported workflow.
Evidence
The release ledger maps 126 GitHub issues plus the complete attached 30-finding review to fixes and verification.
External, held-out, adversarial, baseline, context-size proxy, scan-performance, package, generated-output, and 1,000-file scan gates are recorded and reproducible.
August 8, 2026
FixMap v0.8.8
Forty-six issues closed across scan correctness, workflow honesty, the Action, documentation, accessibility, and release proof.
Added
Exact git-state scan caching accelerates repeated plans and can be bypassed with --no-cache.
JSON reports carry reportVersion 1 and a documented additive compatibility policy.
The website follows the system colour scheme and includes a persistent theme toggle.
Fixed
Scanner, Explain, Compare, Verify, MCP, CLI, and Action diagnostics now distinguish the real failure state and preserve actionable paths.
Generated counterparts no longer outrank maintained source or become the recommended next action.
The demo workflow, transcript, product illustration, metadata, contrast, focus indicators, and accessibility semantics now match the real product.
Evidence
Added 23 release-specific self-evaluation cases and an empty-suite guard.
The homepage and evidence page now read the checked-in adversarial record, and CI rejects stale rendered assets.
August 2, 2026
FixMap v0.8.7
Readable vendored dependency bundles stop posing as edit targets.
Fixed
Pretty-printed vendored dependency bundles with a source-map marker no longer escape generated-output detection or rank as a high-confidence edit target.
Evidence
Added a dedicated adversarial fixture for readable compiled dependencies while keeping Chalk's real vendored implementation ranked first.
All 420 workspace tests pass; held-out and external accuracy remain unchanged, and the adversarial suite is now 9/9 with zero false-confidence cases.
August 2, 2026
FixMap v0.8.6
Cleaner implementation rankings without hiding legitimate UI or generated-artifact work.
Fixed
Stylesheets are deprioritized for non-UI implementation tasks, while genuine CSS and layout tasks still rank them normally.
Explicitly named generated artifacts remain visible, but a maintained source twin caps their confidence and explains the source relationship.
Evidence
Added counterexample coverage for real CSS tasks and tasks that genuinely target a stale generated artifact.
Held-out accuracy remained 7/12 Top-1, 8/12 Top-3, and 9/12 Top-5.
August 2, 2026
FixMap v0.8.5
A proper installation path and a much shorter everyday command.
Improved
The README and website now lead with a global installation followed by the short fixmap command.
Install guidance now explains when npm may prefer an older project-local binary and why the running version printed by Doctor is authoritative.
August 2, 2026
FixMap v0.8.4
Doctor can identify an exact-version request that started the wrong installation.
Fixed
fixmap doctor reports both the requested and running versions when a local or ancestor installation shadows an exact npm request.
The clean verification procedure uses an isolated npm prefix and invokes its shim directly on Windows.
August 2, 2026
FixMap v0.8.3
Stricter MCP comparison inputs, with honest failures instead of false success.
Fixed
fixmap_compare rejects truncated report-shaped objects while continuing to accept complete reports that legitimately contain zero matches.
Optional rank, score, and confidence fields are type-checked when present.
August 2, 2026
FixMap v0.8.2
A broad reliability release across Windows, test routing, MCP, the Action, and diagnostics.
Added
New diagnostics identify unread content, missing tracked paths, duplicate real paths, generated-path dominance, and missing related tests.
MCP explain gained working-tree controls, the product page gained Compare, and the site gained robots.txt.
Fixed
Windows path normalization, BOM and UTF-16 manifests, common GitHub URL forms, failed diff handling, and additional source languages now behave consistently.
Workspace test routing, Action exclusions and comments, and stemming were hardened with regression coverage.
August 1, 2026
FixMap v0.8.1
The first large dogfooding sweep closed gaps across every FixMap surface.
Added
Compare and Doctor MCP tools, working-tree controls, browser-safe exports, and Action inputs for limit, exclude, and untracked files.
Release gates now verify the npm latest tag, canonical homepage metadata, internal versions, and a clean installation before publishing.
Fixed
CLI validation, comparison output, exclusions, confidence, risk evidence, JSON ranks, test routing, and Action comment selection.
August 1, 2026
FixMap v0.8.0
Plan, focus, compare, and verify became one coherent workflow.
Added
Go and Rust test routing, fixmap doctor, plan comparison, exclusions, result limits, working-tree mode, progress phases, pull-request URLs, and Action verify mode.
MCP explain lets agents investigate a missing file without shell access.
Fixed
Confidence now reflects real ranking separation instead of labeling a whole result page high.
Language detection, diagnostic bounds, file-mention performance, duplicate flags, verify output, and report consistency were corrected.
Security
Unbounded user text no longer flows into JSON reports, CI logs, or pull-request comments.
Nothing hidden
Every release stays inspectable.
The repository contains the full history, exact test evidence, and source for every change.
