Why

docs/release-history.md was frozen when CHANGELOG.md started, but agents still found and read it. Parts of the docs map and CONTRIBUTING repeated review and install text that the shared rules already state.

What changed

  • Release history. docs/release-history.md is removed. CHANGELOG, README and the documentation-test exemption now point at CHANGELOG and the git history.
  • Docs map. The test-narration paragraph in docs/README.md is deleted.
  • CONTRIBUTING. The cross-review install material is trimmed.
  • Shared Maintenance bullet. It now names currencyBaseline as its example exceptions list, matching firstdraft and skills.

Docs: updated CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, README and docs/README; removed docs/release-history.md.

Validation

  • npm run check: pass
  • npm audit: clean

Review

Review: codex-review 0.7.3, high effort, session 8a51993f-ae4f-4c16-aa6d-23bdcbb1a876, approve.

The frozen release history covered releases through 0.4.0 and said it
no longer described current state. Its current facts already live in
RELEASING.md, SECURITY.md and AGENTS.md, the tags and git log keep
the rest, and the npm package never shipped it. The last copy is
e98b427:docs/release-history.md.

The second "Retrieval quality" paragraph in docs/README.md narrated
the documentation tests' caps and checks to npm readers. The tests'
failure messages say the same when a rule breaks, so the paragraph
only added a copy to keep in step with them.

CONTRIBUTING.md restated cross-review's own install instructions.
Keep the two facts its README lacks, that the tracked settings enable
the plugins in a trusted checkout and that linked worktrees inherit
that trust, and send readers to the README for the rest. The shared
review procedure is unchanged. AGENTS.md now points at
CONTRIBUTING.md for the focus-file fetch instead of restating it.
firstdraft deleted docs/owner-shape-exceptions.json once every page
fit its size limits, so the shared Maintenance bullet named a file
that no longer exists. It now names the one exceptions list left,
currencyBaseline in firstdraft/skills. firstdraft, skills and cli
carry the same line, as the shared section requires.
