Release Tree Ring 0.14.0 harness activation

[TerminallyLazy]

What changed

Adds project-local harness activation for Codex, Claude Code, Pi, and Agent Zero; receipt-backed activation certification; safe multi-agent bridge handling; and tag-gated release asset publication.

Validation

• Focused activation, preflight, bridge, launcher, and multi-agent acceptance coverage
• Disposable Agent Zero framework/plugin-layout smoke: configured -> receipt -> active
• Release package/version/checksum/YAML checks

Release follow-up

After CI passes, merge this PR, create immutable tag v0.14.0, and let the Release Artifacts workflow publish the verified archives and checksums.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds project-local harness activation with manifests, receipts, preflight, launch, status, deactivation, and certification flows. It updates CLI and TUI integration handling, adds fixtures and acceptance tests, documents the protocol, and adds tagged release packaging and GitHub release publication checks.

Changes

Harness activation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Activation contracts and adapter planning crates/tree-ring-memory-cli/src/activation/*, crates/tree-ring-memory-sqlite/src/lib.rs, crates/tree-ring-memory-cli/Cargo.toml, crates/tree-ring-memory-sqlite/Cargo.toml, fixtures/harness-activation/*, docs/protocol/harness-activation.md, docs/superpowers/specs/...harness-activation-design.md	Adds activation schema and state types, adapter registry and planning, secure Agent Zero descriptor checks, manifest and receipt persistence, SQLite deadline-aware recall support, adapter fixtures, and the protocol and design documents.
Preflight execution and Claude launch crates/tree-ring-memory-cli/src/activation/preflight.rs, crates/tree-ring-memory-cli/src/activation/launcher.rs, crates/tree-ring-memory-sqlite/src/lib.rs	Adds preflight request parsing, bounded recall, context rendering, receipt commit and invalidation rules, and a Claude launcher that writes temporary context, commits receipt state, waits for exit, and cleans up runtime files.
CLI lifecycle commands and status flow crates/tree-ring-memory-cli/src/actions/integrations.rs, crates/tree-ring-memory-cli/src/main.rs, crates/tree-ring-memory-cli/src/tui/*, crates/tree-ring-memory-cli/src/agent_awareness.rs, README.md, docs/integrations/agent-skill.md, skills/tree-ring-memory/SKILL.md	Replaces the old integrations path with activation status, activate, link, deactivate, preflight, launch, and dry-run init flows. It updates scan and status rendering, inserts preflight guidance into generated awareness files, and documents activation behavior and limits.
Receipt-backed certification and evidence output crates/tree-ring-memory-cli/src/harness_evidence.rs, crates/tree-ring-memory-cli/src/evidence.rs, crates/tree-ring-memory-cli/src/main.rs	Certification now evaluates manifests, adapter contracts, activation states, and receipts. It emits activation evidence in JSON and text output, writes a shared activation summary, and updates certification fixtures and assertions.
Acceptance coverage and integration report crates/tree-ring-memory-cli/tests/harness_activation_acceptance.rs, crates/tree-ring-memory-cli/tests/multi_agent_acceptance.rs, .superpowers/sdd/.../task-3-4-integration-report.md	Adds end-to-end activation, receipt, Agent Zero, isolated-root, and live-certification coverage, plus multi-worker receipt checks and an implementation integration report for the merged activation work.

Release automation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Tagged packaging and publication Cargo.toml, .github/workflows/release.yml, scripts/package-release.sh, README.md	Bumps the workspace version to 0.14.0, passes release tags into packaging, verifies archive contents and binary versions, adds a tag-gated GitHub release publication job, and documents the release packaging flow.
