Summary

Release curaitor v0.4.0 — bumps plugins/curaitor/.claude-plugin/plugin.json version from 0.3.0 to 0.4.0. Includes the full run of cron + triage refactors landed in the last few days.

Release notes

Cron architecture: Claude-free

The scheduled /cu:discover and /cu:triage jobs no longer depend on Claude auth. Both skills' cron path was replaced by headless Python orchestrators that run feeds/Instapaper fetch → dedup → Gemma pre-pass → deterministic routing → optional level-2 Claude queue for interactive drain.

• curaitor: headless /cu:discover cron (no Claude auth dependency) #79 headless /cu:discover cron (scripts/discover-cron.py)
• curaitor: headless /cu:triage cron (completes Claude-free cron refactor) #81 headless /cu:triage cron (scripts/triage-cron.py) — Instapaper source, hard-routes LinkedIn / video / podcast URLs to pending-claude-review, runs Gemma on text-article survivors
• curaitor: drop Feedly backend + harden cron log tail #80 hardened cron log tail (## Cron end marker + zero-output annotation); dropped the Feedly backend and its 2 gated-journal feeds (operational friction outweighed coverage)

Dedup gets source-aware + a fast path

• curaitor: Instapaper saves rescue Ignored notes to Inbox (source-aware dedup) #84 Instapaper saves of URLs already in Curaitor/Ignored/ now rescue the note to Inbox (fresh classification + prior_* audit keys) instead of silently appending (duplicate) to Recycle.md. Fixes a regression where explicit user saves were being dropped.
• curaitor: Recycle TSV index fast-path (partial impl of PR #17 design) #86 TSV index fast-path at .curaitor/recycle-index.tsv with SHA-256 drift detection and background auto-rebuild. Partial implementation of curaitor#17's design; Obsidian-side only, SQLite work deferred.

Gemma reliability

• curaitor: Gemma consistency check + repair re-prompt (spike d) #85 consistency check + one-shot repair re-prompt in scripts/local-triage.py. Catches the (confidence=high-not-interested, verdict=review) contradictions Gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-MLX-4bit produces at batch=1 (measured 17.7% rate on real Ignored corpus). On persistent contradiction, flags error: contradiction_unresolved and escalates to Claude. Gemma re-enabled in user-local config alongside this.

Skills / UX

• curaitor: ban subjective quality judgments in interactive skills #82 banned subjective quality judgments in cu:read / cu:review / cu:review-ignored (no more "excellent paper", "major figure"). Explicit allow-list for factual descriptors.
• curaitor: reviewed-keep flag surfaces prior-kept articles in /cu:read #87 reviewed-keep flag: /cu:read skip and /cu:review y/r stamp review_status: kept-after-review. /cu:read startup surfaces previously-kept articles in a distinct section above fresh arrivals.

Verification

• Plugin install path is direct symlinks from ~/projects/curaitor-review/.claude/skills/ into ~/projects/claude-plugins/plugins/curaitor/. All merged PRs already reached the running interactive sessions; the version bump is for marketplace index accuracy.
• Cron wrapper + the 3 Python orchestrators have been exercised end-to-end this week.

What's deferred to v0.5.0+

• Spike (c) Gemma batch-4-8 — only if v0.4.0's consistency check proves insufficient in measured data.
• SQLite backend schema additions for Recycle (curaitor app TypeScript work, separate repo).
• Full /cu:triage interactive-mode rewrite (skill doc currently has both headless + interactive instructions; could be cleaner).
