Loading Ashlr Brief
The briefing
Ashlr MD merged many pull requests that add tests for link and image autofix rules. Phantom merged changes to fleet apps observation and change reporting.
Ashlr MD pull requests added tests for invalid link and missing alt text autofix in lists, headings, blockquotes, tables and at document start or end.
The tests cover LF and CRLF endings, various list markers, nested structures and mixed valid and invalid cases. All assert that fixes are idempotent and leave valid content unchanged.
No production code was changed in the Ashlr MD pull requests.
Phantom pull requests updated fleet apps watch to publish observations to a durable inbox when enabled and added support for a stop file in apps changes.
Phantom also added an MCP tool to wait for apps to reach a stated state and refined app selection and observation handling in the fleet apps API and changes command.
Ashlr Stack pull requests added parser tests for changelogs without trailing newlines, CRLF input, Unicode text and multiple sections.
Locus added a test for e2e cleanup when the temporary directory path contains spaces. Phantom Secrets added a test for installer behavior when required executables are missing.
Review the new test cases in src/lib/mdlint-autofix.test.ts to understand expected autofix behavior across edge cases.
Expanded test coverage reduces risk of regressions in markdown linting and fleet app monitoring.
Run the updated test suites locally. Check Phantom fleet apps commands for the new stop file and await options.

Pull requests added read-only fleet commands in Phantom and test coverage for changelogs, grep patterns, and installers across projects. The pull requests say the changes verify consistency and add CLI verbs.
