Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pdfnative-mcp release.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 38 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Standards

Structure

  • One file per release: release-notes/vX.Y.Z.md (scaffold: release-notes/TEMPLATE.md). Released notes are read-only history.
  • The release PR body is drafted at .github/drafts/pr-vX.Y.Z.md from release-notes/PR_TEMPLATE.md (committed; the maintainer opens the PR).
  • Keep sections ordered and omit empty sections.
  • Use conventional prefixes in bullets: feat(scope), fix(scope), chore(scope), docs(scope), ci(scope).
  • English everywhere. No Co-Authored-By trailer and no mention of an AI assistant in commits, PR bodies or release notes (.claude/settings.json attribution.commit is empty).

Required parity

  • CHANGELOG entry must mirror release bullets; every ## [X.Y.Z] heading has a compare link (verify:docs rule changelog-ladder).
  • GitHub Release body comes from release-notes/vX.Y.Z.md.
  • Include a compatibility statement, and an Upgrade section that declares every output change and every rebaselined sample BEFORE publication.
  • Every figure quoted (tests, coverage, tools, samples, corpus verdicts) comes from a command run on the release branch — never typed from memory. docs/assets/ecosystem.json is the single source of counts; npm run verify:docs holds the documents to it.

Publication flow

  1. npx tsx scripts/release-prepare.ts --version X.Y.Z — mechanical bump (package.json + lock, src/version.ts, server.json ×2, CITATION.cff, SECURITY.md, manifest stamps) and scaffolds. It never bumps TOOL_API_VERSION: decide that under docs/API_STABILITY.md §3.
  2. Write release-notes/vX.Y.Z.md, mirror into CHANGELOG.md, update ROADMAP.md.
  3. npx tsx scripts/gate.ts --publish --require-all with veraPDF installed (every step, no SKIP).
  4. If output changed on purpose: npx tsx scripts/verify-samples.ts --update, explain it in the provenance note and the Upgrade section.
  5. Run the release-audit skill; fix what it confirms.
  6. Write .github/drafts/pr-vX.Y.Z.md. Stop. The maintainer pushes, opens the PR, tags and publishes.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
