# Next Steps — Post v0.1.0

Status: v0.8.7 release prep. 7 framework/client adapters (MCP, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, CrewAI, LangChain, GPT Actions, Cursor Rules), 19 detectors (SHIELD-001..019), VS Code extension. Fingerprints, suppressions, baseline diffing, taint path analysis, egress policy generation, DSSE attestation (`certify`), operator override layering, scan include/exclude filters, MCP subdirectory scans, explain hotspot summaries, experimental `guard --stdin`, and experimental bidirectional `guard --mcp-proxy` transport. TypeScript tree-sitter parser, crates.io, Homebrew, GitHub Action e2e, real-world validation, cross-file validation tracking, PR inline annotations - all done.
Status: post-v0.8.7 development. 7 framework/client adapters (MCP,
OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, CrewAI, LangChain, GPT Actions, Cursor Rules), 20
detectors (SHIELD-001..020), and the VS Code extension. Fingerprints,
suppressions, baseline diffing, taint path analysis, composite toxic-flow
analysis, egress policy generation, DSSE attestation (`certify`), local client
discovery, explainable/versioned experimental risk assessment, operator
override layering, scan include/exclude filters, MCP subdirectory scans,
OpenClaw `.agents/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md` discovery, explain hotspot summaries,
experimental `guard --stdin`, and experimental bidirectional
`guard --mcp-proxy` transport are implemented.

## v0.8.7 release prep
## Post-v0.8.7 development

The current release-prep scope covers first-run scanner scoping and triage:
Release `v0.8.7` was published on June 15, 2026. The following increments have
landed on `main` since that release:

- `[scan] include` and `[scan] exclude` path filters for source and
metadata-derived findings.
- MCP subdirectory scans that preserve the requested source boundary while
reading ancestor project metadata.
- `scan --explain` root reporting and blocking-finding hotspot summaries.
- SHIELD-020 composite arbitrary-read exfiltration chains with crate-private,
contextual value-flow transport;
- read-only, allowlisted local client discovery through `agentshield discover`;
- deterministic `agentshield-risk-v1` assessment with explicit
`scan --experimental-risk` console/JSON opt-in;
- isolated OpenClaw targets for direct
`.agents/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md` layouts.

Remaining follow-up before tagging:
Next release work:

- AGENT-31 GitHub Action/e2e coverage for path filters plus MCP subdirectory
scans is included in the release-prep batch.
- Final release checklist pass and version/tag bump when publication is ready.
- choose the next version from the accumulated post-v0.8.7 changes;
- run the full release checklist and compatibility gates;
- update release notes, version, tag, crates.io/Homebrew artifacts, and GitHub
release only when publication is explicitly authorized.
