v0.4.0 — Aperture

0.2 gated proof; 0.3 gated the seam of that proof. 0.4 adds the dial that decides how much of the loop to run at all — spend the full ratchet only when uncertainty earns it, and snap when it doesn't.

What's in it

  • ratchet score aperture <json> — scores five uncertainty dimensions (ambiguity, terrain, taste, blastRadius, reversibility, 0–2 each) → level A0–A4 → the exact ratchet sequence to run at that depth. A0 snaps to build → verify; A4 stops at lock → cut → decide with no build until constraints are locked. Missing dim defaults to neutral, not certain.
  • Aperture Read grafted into /ratchet:ignite (it meters itself now) and /ratchet:lock.

Provenance / design note

Grafted from an auto-aperture skill fork. We examined it relationally against the existing skill set: ~80% of it already existed under other names (cut/lock/decide/build/verify/compile). We imported only its one novel primitive — the uncertainty-scored dial — in ratchet's own dialect, and dropped the duplicate phases to avoid a vocabulary fork. ignite's seven-step pipeline is now the A2 default, not the floor.

Verification

  • npm test63 pass (31 cli · 19 evolve · 13 plugin-shape)
  • ratchet doctor → healthy; versions aligned at 0.4.0
  • Tagged v0.4.0; GitHub Release published from the changelog notes

12 files changed, all edits (no new files). Full detail in CHANGELOG.md under ## [0.4.0].

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

- add aperture dial: ratchet score aperture (5 uncertainty dims → A0-A4 → metered ratchet sequence)
- graft aperture read into /ratchet:ignite (meters the loop depth) and /ratchet:lock
- reframe ignite from "run all seven" to "run the aperture's metered sequence"
- update README, CHANGELOG, manifests to 0.4.0
