version 1.2.2, preserving the plugin manifest and other marketplace entries.
Review comments at @plugins/edge-scrum/bin/_jira_transforms.py:
- Around line 186-209: Add negative tests for extract_sprints in
test_run_checks_scope.py: verify a non-matching string such as “Sprint 295”
returns a record with a None id and the original string as its name, and an
empty string returns no records. Keep the existing matching-input tests
unchanged.

including text that should not trigger GENDERED_RE, and verify validation
failures produce the expected strict-mode exit status. Add soft_warnings tests

…nd .md/.docx/.html output Rework the release-planning report end to end: - Fix the scope and capacity math and restructure the report to lead with the verdict and the decisions needed this week, then the cut line, people over target, dormant scope, process gaps, and the method behind every figure, with a collapsible appendix. - Record the formula, inputs and result for every headline figure in checks.json (method block) so each conclusion is traceable. - Render .md, .docx and a self-contained .html from one shared block model. The .html embeds its stylesheet (GitHub-style tables, risk colouring with a prefers-color-scheme dark variant, WCAG-AA risk text) and opens automatically in the browser via --open (dropped when headless). - Escape --version everywhere it is rendered and validate it against an allow-list at the argparse boundary so arbitrary text cannot be injected. - Redact free-form narrative from the duplicate-process-gap warning: report only the shared Jira keys and numbers, never the bullet text, since the warning is printed to stderr and may carry names or emails. - Classify dormant features out of the risk math, exclude out-of-release epics, and flag roster drift. - Expand the test suite (validator, scope, sprint, HTML renderer, --open, version validation, warning redaction) and update the skill and README.

Overall it looks good with some relatively minor changes needed. I think this needs to revisit the "target audience". Originally, the target audience was Claude Code and running locally. Now the target audience is chai-bot so we can automate the report. With that in mind, we really only need this skill to output Markdown and we can let chai-bot prettify it as part of a scheduled task while still preserving the ability to run it locally.
…nly, wording Address review feedback on the release-planning skill: - Markdown is the only output. Removed the DOCX and HTML renderers, the --open flag and the browser-launch block from assemble-report.py; rendering for other channels is handled downstream from the Markdown. Dropped the now-unused HTML/DOCX tests, constants and imports. - Require only the standard mcp-atlassian plugin MCP server; removed the two-node MCP fallback from allowed-tools and the Rules. - Use example.com in run-checks tests instead of real-looking addresses. - Wording: "actionable recommendations" rather than "decisions" in the analysis skill description and writing rules. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… priorities only when in Refinement Team feedback: the report over-emphasised not-started work. The team plans priority-first, so lower-priority features that have not started yet are the plan, not a risk — counting their scope drowns the signal from the work that actually gates the release. run-checks.py now partitions features by priority before any figure is computed. Blocker/Critical/Major are assessed (plus anything in Refinement, via --include-lower-when); everything else — including Undefined priority — is set aside, listed in the appendix, and excluded from capacity, scope, gap, cut line, timeline, sizing and the active/dormant split. Bug load still covers every bug. Two flags (--focus-priorities, --include-lower-when) let a planner widen or narrow focus without touching code. The report's "Not started" section now reads "Not started (focus priorities)" and lists only focus-priority features; the stats line and method block show the lower-priority count; the appendix gains a "Lower-priority features (not assessed)" table. Feature priority is now persisted by transform-features.py (defaulting to Undefined). Method, README and skill docs updated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Extract the --version allow-list regex into a module-level VERSION_RE in assemble-report.py so the trust-boundary check is visible at the top of the file, and add TestVersionArg to test_assemble_report.py covering both sides: positive (5.1, 5.1.0, 5.1.z) and negative (5, 5.1.1.1, v5.1, 5.1<b>, empty). The main()-level coverage was dropped with TestOpenFlag in the markdown-only commit; CONTRIBUTING requires validation logic to carry positive and negative tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…tches The planning pipeline never consumes closed-sprint data or spikes: run-checks.py takes --remaining-sprints as a number and reads neither sprints.json nor spikes.json, and the active/dormant release-window check derives sprint numbers from the stories themselves (window = first..pencils-down from CLI args). The closed-sprint fetch only populated refinement_sprint_id, which fed Phase 3b spikes — output nothing downstream reads. Fetching state="closed" returns the board's full history oldest-first (hundreds of sprints, many pages), costing large context for zero effect on the report. Phase 2a now fetches active + future only; Phase 3 drops the spike fetch and verify step. Release-health keeps its own closed-sprint and spike fetches (it does use them for refinement checks).

Review guide
Start with
references/release-planning-method.md, thenrun-checks.py(build_hierarchy,classify_feature,run_capacity_check,build_method), thenassemble-report.py(build_blocks,validate_recs). Six things worth a close look: capacity population, epic exclusion, dormant classification, sizing decoupled from composite, the--strictvalidator, and the roster-drift prompt.Version bump: edge-scrum 1.2.1 → 1.3.0 (minor).
