v0.18.1: Triage manual-verification checklists in batches, Filter the board by issue type, and `ait upgrade` actually upgrades branch-mode setups now
v0.18.1 is a polish-and-fix release. The headline changes are a faster manual-verification flow, a new issue-type filter in the board, and a fix for branch-mode upgrades that were silently leaving framework files uncommitted.
Triage manual-verification checklists in batches
Manual-verification tasks used to walk you through items one at a time. Now the skill re-renders the whole numbered checklist with state markers on every turn, and you can answer in batch through the Other field — 1 pass, 3 defer, 5 skip not applicable lands four state changes in a single response. The single-item Pass/Fail/Skip/Defer prompt is still there for the items that actually need careful thought.
Filter the board by issue type
The board TUI gains a new t view mode. Hit t and you get a multi-select dialog of every issue type — feature, bug, refactor, and the rest — pick the ones you care about, and the board narrows to those. Picks persist per project, and a summary line under the view selector tells you what’s active. Pressing t again reopens the picker if you want to adjust.
ait upgrade actually upgrades branch-mode setups now
If your project uses a separate aitask-data branch (the default for new setups), ait upgrade was silently skipping the commit of framework files — so your .aitask-scripts/ and .claude/ would update on disk but never make it into git. v0.18.1 fixes the symlink-handling bug at the root and adds a dedicated commit pass for the data branch’s aitasks/metadata/ and aireviewguides/.
Setup tells you when there’s no remote
Running ait setup on a repo without an origin remote used to silently configure branch-tracked features that quietly won’t sync anywhere. Now setup pauses, explains exactly which features need a remote to work, and waits for you to acknowledge before continuing. Bonus: lock operations now distinguish “the lock branch doesn’t exist on origin” from “I can’t reach origin right now,” so transient network blips no longer look like missing infrastructure.
