# Upgrade Guide — vNEXT

<!-- bump: minor -->
<!-- minor = new capability (ORG-INTENT drift detection — Phase 4, code already on main but unreleased due to a rebase artifact). -->

## What Changed

**chore(release): cut Phase 4 of the ORG-INTENT runtime project.**

Phase 4 (periodic drift detection) merged on main in PR #319 but did not publish to npm at that time. The Phase 4 NEXT.md content was absorbed into `upgrades/1.2.26.md` (the heal-fix release) during the rebase that resolved the conflict between my branch and the just-cut release. The Phase 4 CODE — `OrgIntentDriftAnalyzer`, the `GET /intent/org/drift` route, the weekly audit job template, and the CLAUDE.md migration — has been sitting on main since PR #319 merged but is not yet on npm.

This PR is a fresh NEXT.md to trigger the publish workflow. No code changes — Phase 4 is already in the tree.

After this publishes, the complete four-phase ORG-INTENT runtime project will be available on npm:

- Phase 1 (v1.2.23): gate-time enforcement of constraints.
- Phase 2 (v1.2.24): session-start injection of the three-rule contract.
- Phase 3 (v1.2.25): deterministic tradeoff helper.
- Phase 4 (this release): periodic drift detection + weekly audit job.

## What to Tell Your User

The drift detection capability that was supposed to ship in the prior release was a release-pipeline misfire — the code landed but the publish skipped. This release re-cuts that work so the new endpoint and the weekly audit job become available through the normal instar update path. No behavior change from the prior release if you don't act on it; if you have an organizational intent file authored and want the weekly drift check, ask your agent to enable the new drift-audit job for you.

## Summary of New Capabilities

(All shipped in PR #319 — this release just publishes them.)

- **GET /intent/org/drift** — HTTP route returning a drift digest derived from recent Coherence Gate review history.
- **`analyzeOrgIntentDrift()` exported function** — pure logic helper.
- **Weekly drift audit job template** — `.instar/jobs/instar/org-intent-drift-audit.md`, off by default.
- **Migration parity** — CLAUDE.md gains Phase 4 curl line automatically on next update.

## Evidence

All test evidence is in PR #319's release notes (now in `upgrades/1.2.26.md`). This PR is a no-op release cut.
