SOURCE: orchestrator friction minting v0.2.0 (2026-09-08): took 3
attempts to create a release. --body -> unknown flag; bare f0rge release v0.2.0 -> "not found"; only the usage ERROR taught the real
flag (--notes <file|->). The doc-truth wave (#30) added per-verb
-h -> spec pointers everywhere, but spec [Release] says "Body =
notes" WITHOUT naming the flag, so the pointer lands on a section
that still hides the surface. Same bug class the swarm flagged in
#27, blown on my own mint.
FIX (boring, one section):
- spec [Release] enumerates the exact flags: create <ver> --notes <file|-> (--title S optional) install [ver|main] [--dry-run] (list|view unchanged)
- release -h may gain ONE flag-summary line IF it fits the 250B/8ln budget (byte-count; if it doesn't fit, spec-only is fine — the -h already points at [Release]).
- golden: spec/fixtures/release.md still parses; budgets hold.
DONE: a fresh agent reading
f0rge release -h+ spec [Release] can create a release + dry-run an install first-try, zero trial-error.
