v1.5.18 — family alignment + tooling normalization

Family alignment + tooling normalization.

• Migrated dev deps to [dependency-groups] (PEP 735) for uniform uv sync --group dev across the family
• Added tests/eval/regression/test_release_blockers.py — 5 regression evals catching the v1.5.x release blockers (missing mcp_server in wheel, unimported runtime names, Typer app load failure, module import errors)
• Family version bump to v1.5.18

See RELEASE_NOTES.md for details.

v1.5.17 — Family alignment

v1.5.17 (2026-05-01)

Family alignment — no source changes in this skill.

This release tracks vmware-pilot v1.5.17 (new investigate_alert template + review_workflow MCP tool + parallel_group step type) and vmware-policy v1.5.17 (L5 pattern matcher integrated into @vmware_tool). Both work with the existing skill MCP surface unchanged.

• align: Family version bump to v1.5.17.

v1.5.16 — Enterprise Harness Engineering alignment

v1.5.16 (2026-04-30)

Enterprise Harness Engineering alignment — adapted from the Linkloud × addxai framework articles (part 1, part 2).

• docs: New references/investigation-protocol.md — causal-chain root cause analysis protocol shared with aiops/aria. Monitor serves as the read-only data source for diagnostic chains.
• docs: "Automation Level Reference" section in references/capabilities.md — clarifies that monitor is L1/L2 only by code-level design.
• docs: Common Workflows in SKILL.md enriched with judgment ("alarms tell you what vCenter decided is wrong, events tell you what happened — they diverge").
• align: Family version bump to v1.5.16.

v1.5.15 — single-command MCP entry point

v1.5.15 — UX improvements from real user feedback

• New top-level CLI subcommand vmware-monitor mcp starts the MCP server. Single command after uv tool install — no more uvx --from, no PyPI re-resolve, works behind corporate TLS proxies.
• Default verify_ssl: true on new targets (was false). Self-signed cert environments must opt in explicitly with verify_ssl: false in config.yaml.
• Docs and examples/mcp-configs/*.json switched to single-command form.
• Legacy vmware-monitor-mcp console script kept for backward compatibility.

Migration: Existing users — your old MCP client config still works. New recommended form:

{ "command": "vmware-monitor", "args": ["mcp"], "env": { "VMWARE_VMWARE_MONITOR_CONFIG": "~/.vmware-... /config.yaml" } }
