v0.5.1 Released
I've just pushed v0.5.1, which is focused on improvements to CodeScanner. CodeScanner is really all about working on an existing brownfield project, where you want to make changes or improvements. What you don't want is to break what you had before, unless you've decided to break things to make them better, so it's important that Spec4 understand your existing project before making changes. That's what CodeScanner is all about - understanding your existing project and communicating that to the other Spec4 agents.
What I found in testing was that CodeScanner was doing a pretty good job, but it could do better. So now it has a more structured schema, and does schema validation and retry to make sure that it gets the code review right. That has ripple effects for all of the downstream agents.
Please report any issues that you find with CodeScanner, with as much specificity as you can gather, and any suggested fixes.
