PRISM v2.1.0 released

[Ronkupper]

PRISM v2.1.0 is out. Tooling conventions release — three patterns bundled per the combined micro-DD X1 ratification.

What's new

Machine-readable frontmatter (Pattern A). PRISM.md now carries a YAML block with two comment-grouped sections (skill metadata + framework metadata). New fields: version, released, supersedes, lens_library_embedded, substrate_target, normativity, lint_catalog_version. JSON Schema lives at PRISM-workshop/schemas/prism_frontmatter.schema.json.

Strength × polarity normativity vocabulary (Pattern B Phase B1). The frontmatter normativity block declares optional strength tokens (required / recommended / optional, default required) and polarity glyphs (✅ always do / ⚠️ ask first / 🚫 never). Title-block tag-convention paragraph extended with a two-sentence announcement. New elements going forward use [durability | review-trigger | strength? | polarity?]. Legacy element marking sweep deferred to Phase B2 / v2.2.0.

Appendix H — Vendor parsing observations (Pattern D). New observation-driven appendix indexing vendor parsing behaviour on dispatched content. Six-status closed vocabulary (passthrough / stripped / mangled / error / not-tested / observed-once), per-content-type H3 sections with narrow per-vendor tables. Seed entry: ChatGPT mobile paste = stripped (the empirical observation that drove §4.12 atomic-prompt self-containment in v2.0.2).

Also shipped: lint catalog (lint-v1)

Off-cycle from PRISM.md on a parallel release track. Two active rules today (PRISM-LINT-01 / named-refs-resolve error, PRISM-LINT-02 / named-refs-orphan-anchor info), five reserved slots that activate as their dependencies ship. .github/workflows/lint.yml runs on every PR.

Calibration for projects on v2.0.2

• Frontmatter is now structured. Tooling that parsed the old loose frontmatter should accommodate the new fields.
• Any new SP / Monitor / Probe added during operation should carry the extended tag form going forward.
• Appendix H is the new home for vendor-parsing observations surfaced during a project — if a vendor mangles dispatched content, log it there.

v2.0.2 calibration items still relevant; Lens Library remains at v0.10 (embedded as Appendix G). v1.10.4 stays terminal for v1.x projects.
