Release v0.5.0 — Receipt

[TheLucidTech]

v0.5.0 — Receipt

0.2 gated proof; 0.3 gated the seam of that proof; 0.4 metered the depth of the loop. 0.5 gives the loop a single cockpit: one read — ratchet receipt — that says what is true, what changed, what was proven, what is at risk, whether it is safe to ship, and whether the receipt's own steering can be trusted.

Added

• The receipt (ratchet receipt) — one stable, always-same-shape read with eight fixed sections (TARGET · DELTA · PROOF · VERDICT · RISK · AUTHORITY · STATE · NEXT), joining session state, the evolve journal, the QA ledger, and git. --json emits the same structure for consumers; --save writes .ratchet/current.json + current.md as a gitignored source-of-truth index.
• Three-layer confidence — ratchet score confidence scores artifact · session · ledger independently, each naming its scope, so a verified artifact stays ship-ready even when unrelated debt tanks session confidence.
• Cold-start control-plane scan — the receipt runs the cold-start poison scan inline and renders Control-plane scan: FAIL|WARN|clean under STATE (also a top-level controlPlane field in --json), surfacing stale steering (retracted work still pointed at) and misleading configured operator surfaces (e.g. unqualified git counts) in the one cold read — no separate doctor run. Project surfaces are opt-in via .ratchet/cold-start.json; no workspace path is hardcoded.

Changed

• state reset now requires --force — an ungated canonical wipe is refused; the receipt AUTHORITY card renders the gates in force.
• Agents are propose-only — only the scribe writes canonical state; builder/auditor are refused mutating verbs at the CLI boundary via RATCHET_AGENT.

Verification

• npm test → cli 48 / evolve 19 / plugin-shape 13, all green
• Version aligned 0.4.0 → 0.5.0 across package.json + all three plugin manifests (the plugin-shape suite enforces alignment); ratchet --version → 0.5.0
• Tag v0.5.0 pushed at the release commit

Commits

• feat(receipt): the receipt cockpit + inline cold-start control-plane scan
• chore(release): v0.5.0 receipt
