release: v5.10.0 — "Deferral & injection hygiene" (B4+B5+B6)

Three additive hardening levers extending existing scanners toward a tighter
always-loaded prefix (scanner count stays 16, agents 7, commands 21):
  - B4 (CA-TOK-006): MCP tool-schema deferral check + CLI-over-MCP lever
  - B5: hook additionalContext-injection advisory + filter-before lever
  - B6: CPS @import volatile-content scan

Version sync: plugin.json 5.10.0, README version/tests badges (1215+ -> 1257+)
+ version-history row, tokens pattern-count 7 -> 8 (README + CLAUDE.md),
CLAUDE.md test tally 1215/68 -> 1257/71 (36 -> 39 scanner files), CHANGELOG
[5.10.0]. self-audit --check-readme green; suite 1257 pass / 0 fail.

A Claude Code plugin that checks configuration health, suggests context-aware improvements, and auto-fixes issues — `CLAUDE.md`, `settings.json`, hooks, rules, MCP servers, `@imports`, and plugins. 16 deterministic scanners across 10 quality areas, context-aware feature recommendations, auto-fix with backup/rollback, a prompt-cache-aware Token Hotspots scanner with optional API-calibrated `--accurate-tokens` mode, plus cache-prefix stability, dead-tool, cross-plugin collision, output-style, and always-loaded agent-listing-budget detection. Zero external dependencies.

| **5.10.0** | 2026-06-23 | "Deferral & injection hygiene" — three additive hardening levers that extend existing scanners toward a tighter always-loaded prefix (scanner count stays **16**, agents **7**, commands **21**; `--json`/`--raw` byte-stable, frozen v5.0.0 + SC-5 untouched). **B4 — MCP tool-schema deferral (`CA-TOK-006`; tokens patterns 7→8):** Claude Code defers MCP tool schemas (names-only, ~120 tok; full schemas load on demand) by default, so `CA-TOK-006` detects config-file signals that force the FULL schemas into the always-loaded prefix every turn — `env.ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH="false"` (high), a `"ToolSearch"` deny (high), a configured Haiku model (medium), or per-server `alwaysLoad:true` (CC v2.1.121+, high); severity scales with the aggregate forced-upfront tokens. New pure engine `lib/mcp-deferral.mjs` shared by TOK + GAP, plus a feature-gap **CLI-over-MCP** companion lever (prefer `gh`/`aws`/`gcloud`). Triggers on config files ONLY — Vertex / custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` / a runtime `/model` switch are launch state and are disclosed, never triggered; the prefix-cache-invalidation claim was NOT-CONFIRMED in docs and is not asserted. **B5 — hook `additionalContext` advisory + filter-before lever:** HKV emits an info advisory when a hook injects unfiltered output into `additionalContext`, with a feature-gap **filter-before-Claude-reads** companion citing the documented `filter-test-output.sh` pattern. **B6 — CPS `@import` volatile scan:** the cache-prefix scanner now follows `@import`s (one hop) and flags volatile content in the imported file that breaks the cached prefix — a new medium finding, keyed on the resolved file. 1257 tests |
| **5.9.0** | 2026-06-23 | "Machine-wide token lens" — the three highest-impact hardening gaps toward whole-machine token tuning. **B1 — agent-listing budget (new orchestrated scanner AGT, count 15→16):** the always-loaded agent listing (name+description re-sent every turn) is now measured — `CA-AGT-001` per-agent description bloat (advisory), `CA-AGT-002` aggregate listing over budget; both LOW and explicitly **inferred / upper-bound** (the mechanism is undocumented — the evidence discloses it rather than overstating). **B2 — machine-wide always-loaded token roll-up:** the campaign ledger now carries a token bill — `campaign refresh-tokens` does a live cross-repo sweep that counts the **shared global always-loaded layer once** + per-repo deltas, with a ranked "most expensive repos" table (the `whats-active` double-count, avoided by construction). **B3 — cache-aware filtering (folds in B0):** `~/.claude/plugins/cache` holds *both* active and stale plugin versions (installPaths point INTO it), so token-hotspots + CNF are now **version-aware**`--exclude-cache` (default ON) keeps each plugin's active version and drops only stale ones (`installed_plugins.json`-driven), so stale versions stop polluting the hotspot ranking and inflating duplicate-hook conflicts; stale versions surface as a separate **Dead config** disk-cleanup finding (zero live-context impact). `--json`/`--raw` byte-stable; frozen v5.0.0 + SC-5 snapshots untouched. 1215 tests |
| **5.8.0** | 2026-06-23 | "Campaign motor" — a durable, machine-wide audit **campaign** that sits ABOVE individual sessions (one repo = one session; a fleet of repos = a campaign). **Ledger:** `~/.claude/config-audit/campaign-ledger.json` (outside the plugin dir → survives uninstall/upgrade) tracks a repo list + per-repo lifecycle (pending→audited→planned→implemented) + a machine-wide roll-up by status & severity; pure transforms with injected `now`. **`/config-audit campaign` (commands 20→21):** read-only report (`campaign-cli`) + human-approved writes (`campaign-write-cli`: init / add / set-status) — reports first, mutates only on explicit approval, never hand-edits the ledger. **Cross-repo backlog:** one severity-weighted prioritized pick-list (`buildBacklog`, `critical:1000/high:100/medium:10/low:1`). **Plan export + execution-by-reuse:** `campaign-export-cli --write` drops a planned repo's plan verbatim into its own `docs/`; execution reuses the existing `/config-audit implement` + `rollback` (no new execution machinery). All campaign code is `-cli`/lib → scanner count stays **15**, agents **7**, byte-stable. Plus pre-release cleanup: `knowledge-refresh` wired into the router + help; CLAUDE.md trimmed 540→134 lines (impl notes → `docs/scanner-internals.md`, config grade B→A). 1168 tests |
| **5.7.0** | 2026-06-21 | "Optimization lens" — first detector of the «optimally shaped?» axis (vs «correct?»), plus a living knowledge layer. **Register:** `knowledge/best-practices.json`, a provenance-stamped, schema-validated best-practices register (first runtime-consumed `knowledge/` file). **OPT scanner (count 14→15):** `CA-OPT-001` (LOW) a ≥6-step CLAUDE.md procedure that would fit better as a skill, citing register entry `BP-MECH-003`. **`/config-audit optimize` + `optimization-lens-agent` (opus, agents 6→7):** prose-judgment lens for lifecycle→hook (`BP-MECH-001`), unscoped path→rule (`BP-MECH-002`), "never"→permission (`BP-MECH-004`); pre-filter recall + opus precision gate. **`/config-audit knowledge-refresh` (commands 19→20):** deterministic stale-check (injected reference date, 90-day cadence) + web re-verify/poll, human-approved writes only. Last two are agent/web-driven (not byte-stable). 1091 tests |
