v0.14.0 is live — our biggest release since launch, and the first where the release pipeline itself is as evidence-backed as the workflows it governs.
If you're new here: Meta-Architect is an open-source workflow governor for AI coding agents. Your agent writes code fast; Meta-Architect makes it prove each stage first — design, evidence, logic, security, experience, build. Each gate stays locked until the one before it passes.
What's New
Compatibility scope
Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Amp, Claude Code, Goose, Hermes, Pi, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, Roo, Kiro CLI, Junie, GitHub Copilot, and Antigravity (coverage evidence)
🛡️ Fail-closed release engineering
main now accepts only verified dev promotions. Every release artifact — including the npm archive — ships with SHA256 checksums, an SPDX SBOM, and a release-summary.json. No generated tarballs in Git, no stale dist files, no exceptions.
🐧 Native Linux packages, no npm required
Debian, Arch, and RPM packages now install and run standalone — real distribution, not just an npm wrapper.
🤖 $maestro grows up
Our singular in-session manager is now backed by a bounded autonomous control plane. It picks the next safe step, acts without permission-begging, and always lands on a terminal outcome with fresh verification evidence.
🧠 Full semantic core runtime — 17 systems
Obsidian brain context, Ralph story execution, Learning Loop with promotion rules, Context Economy, Prompt Strategy, Environment Awareness, Universal Plugin Broker, Redaction Gateway, Quorum Review Engine, Workspace Virtualizer, Code Graph Rehearse, and more — all seeded, all test-covered.
🔍 Evidence you can audit
Every stack claim is graded VERIFIED, PARTIAL, or MISSING against upstream sources through GitMCP. Every v0.14.0 release issue is marked passed with implementation, verification, and production evidence.
🎬 Real demo kit
A repeatable, smoke-tested demo (npm run demo:smoke) showing the full path: idea → gated execution → verified release — using real runtime functions, not static screenshots.
Quick start
# 1. Install (macOS, Linux, WSL, Git-Bash)
curl -fsSLo install.sh https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/JustineDevs/meta-architect@latest/scripts/install.sh && curl -fsSLo install.sh.sha256 https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/JustineDevs/meta-architect@latest/scripts/install.sh.sha256 && sed 's#scripts/install.sh#install.sh#' install.sh.sha256 | sha256sum -c - && sh install.sh

AI agent installation prompt
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI coding agent:
Install Meta-Architect for this project.
1. Detect the current AI host and its native project configuration surface.
2. Install or update `@jstn-sdk/ma@latest` using the host's supported package manager.
3. Set `MA_AGENT` to the detected host ID when a host-specific surface is available.
4. Run `ma setup` and accept the detected project scope and targets.
5. Verify the generated `.ma/` state and native host artifacts.
6. Report the installed version, selected host, generated files, and any unsupported capabilities.
Do not overwrite user-owned files, modify unrelated configuration, or claim a host is supported without verification.
