Adds the project's first non-Chinese masters, taking the scope from
"Chinese Buddhist" to "Buddhist" and matching the project name's
broader implication.
New masters
-----------
• prebuilt/milarepa — Tibetan Kagyu yogi (1052–1135). Sources:
The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa (mGur 'bum, BDRC W1KG14334)
and The Life of Milarepa (rNam thar, BDRC W22272). Coverage:
Mahāmudrā view, Naro Chodruk (name-level only — no esoteric steps),
retreat & austerity, guru yoga, karma & purification.
• prebuilt/ajahn-chah — Thai Forest Tradition founder of Wat Pah Pong
(1918–1992). Sources: Pali Canon (SuttaCentral SC IDs) plus
authorized English collections Food for the Heart, A Still Forest
Pool, Living Dhamma. Coverage: sati & satipaṭṭhāna, ānāpānasati,
three characteristics, letting go, sīla-samādhi-paññā, middle way.
HARD-GATE additions
-------------------
• no_esoteric_instruction — Tibetan tantric practice steps (tummo,
generation/completion stages, empowerment-required visualizations
and mantras) are never disclosed; queries are redirected to
qualified teachers. Boundary registered in
scripts/validate-fidelity.py.
• No fabricated quotes for Theravāda discourses — Ajahn Chah quotes
must trace to authorized publications; no synthesized "Ajahn Chah
said" dialogue.
Citation system
---------------
BDRC:Wxxxxx (Tibetan canon) and SuttaCentral SC IDs are now
first-class alongside CBETA Txxnxxxx in frontmatter sources lists.
validate.py already accepts non-cbeta sources via the existing
title-or-cbeta_id check, no schema change required.
Cross-tradition compare-masters mappings
----------------------------------------
prebuilt/compare/SKILL.md gets new fallback rows for: 苦行/闭关
(xuyun + milarepa), 正念/觉知 (huineng + ajahn-chah + xuyun),
出离心/无常 (yinguang + milarepa + ajahn-chah), 三大传统对比
(huineng + milarepa + ajahn-chah), and adds milarepa to 般若/空性,
ajahn-chah to 戒律/行持.
Surface updates
---------------
• Description across package.json, .claude-plugin/{plugin,marketplace}.json,
.cursor-plugin/plugin.json: "Chinese Buddhist" → "Buddhist",
"8 prebuilt masters" → "10 prebuilt masters across 汉传/藏传/南传".
• README.md + README_EN.md: cross-tradition rows in the situational
guidance table; new master cards for Milarepa and Ajahn Chah with
appropriate provenance notes; v0.4 release banner replaces v0.3.
• SKILL.md preset list reorganized by tradition.
• CHANGELOG.md gets a [0.4.0] section.
• package.json keywords add tibetan-buddhism, theravada, bdrc,
suttacentral.
Validation
----------
• python scripts/validate.py --strict → ✅ 11 masters pass
• python scripts/validate-fidelity.py → ✅ 11 masters validated
(12 + 13 fidelity cases for the two new masters)
• python scripts/test-fidelity.py --all --dry-run → ✅
• pytest tests/ → ✅ 31 passed, 6 skipped
The progressive-disclosure shape of v0.3 is preserved exactly, so
the fidelity-smoke CI cost cap is unchanged.

Shift the README narrative so that non-developer users — the 99% of the
actual audience — find the browser entry point first and the CLI install
second. The old structure buried fojin.app/chat at line 48 under a wall
of developer badges.
Changes:
- README.md / README_EN.md: new "立即体验 / Try It Now" hero section
right after the title block, with a big call-to-action linking to
fojin.app/chat, a "which master should I ask" recommendation table,
and an explicit redirect for CLI users to the developer section.
- Rename "快速开始 / Quick Start" → "开发者安装 / Developer Installation"
with a clear "if you just want to try it, use the browser instead"
callout at the top.
- Update TOC anchors in both languages to match.
- prebuilt/<master>/meta.json × 8: new `starter_questions` field with
4 Q&A entries per master. Each entry has `q` (the question) and `why`
(why this question is suited for this specific master's voice and
source corpus). Intended consumer: fojin.app/chat can fetch the raw
meta.json on master selection and render these as cold-start prompts
— solving the empty-input-box problem for first-time users.
Rationale: the biggest onboarding gap for non-CLI users is "I don't
know what to ask this master." A curated 4-question starter per master
provides both a safe entry point and a teaching signal about what this
particular master is actually good at answering.
Validated: scripts/validate.py --strict passes (9/9 masters).

Upgrade /compare-masters from a loose comparison table to a structured
divergence analysis framework. Core changes:
- 5-dim radar (否定/安立/入手处/根器/终极表达): force the LLM to locate
exactly which layer the disagreement sits on, not just "A thinks X,
B thinks Y" without axis.
- Mandatory divergence labels: every concrete difference must be tagged
[宗派性] / [侧重性] / [表达性] / [根器性]. This prevents the most
common mistake — treating a 根器性 difference as a 宗派性 conflict.
- Classic debate templates: 禅净之争 / 性相之辩 / 空有之争 / 顿渐之辩.
Pre-load the real historical disputes so the LLM does not invent
fake controversy and knows the actual cruxes.
- Meta-question follow-ups (Step 4): generate "why are they different"
prompts to turn a single comparison into a learning session.
- HARD-GATE additions: NO UNLABELED DIVERGENCE, NO EMPTY RADAR CELL,
with rationalization defenses and red flags.
Rationale: the loose 共通点/差异点 template was too permissive — it
let the LLM produce shallow "each has their own merits" summaries.
Forcing a 5-axis radar + typed labels surfaces the actual structural
divergence, which is the real educational value of multi-master
comparison.
Validated: scripts/validate.py --strict passes (9/9 masters).

The compare-masters skill is an aggregate meta-skill that borrows from
other masters and has no single lineage, dates, sources, or own corpus
directories. Treating it as a regular master made --strict CI fail on
all branches since 2026-04-08.
Introduce a kind field (default master) and skip the lineage/dates/
sources/citation_format and references/sources directory checks when
kind == meta-skill. compare/SKILL.md gains kind: meta-skill.
Required fields (name, description) and version/license are still
enforced for all skills.

- compare: add NO COMPARATIVE RANKING and NO FABRICATED DIALOGUE
iron laws with rationalization defense table
- create-master: add NO FABRICATED SOURCES iron law for the
generation pipeline
- Add 2 boundary tests for compare (sectarian ranking, fabricated
dialogue)
- Fix validate-fidelity.py to support compare's assertion fields
and no_fabricated_dialogue boundary type

Inspired by obra/superpowers project patterns, add three-layer defense
to prevent AI hallucination and rule violation:
- Iron Laws: NO DOCTRINAL CLAIM WITHOUT CBETA CITATION,
NO PERSONA BEFORE CONTEXT, NO SECTARIAN JUDGMENT
- Rationalization Defense Table: 6 common AI excuses with rebuttals
- Red Flag List: 5 observable violation signals
Also add 40 pressure test cases (5 per master) covering:
- Sectarian judgment boundary
- No prophecy boundary
- Neutral first turn boundary
- Citation bypass pressure
- Master-specific challenges (meta, hostile, misunderstanding, etc.)

Previously LLM might run ONE combined semantic query, causing the non-dominant
master to get fallback search URLs (fojin.app/search?q=...) instead of precise
text_id links.
Now the skill:
- Explicitly requires N separate queries for N masters (emphasized with ⚠️)
- Provides a query-rewriting table: each master's query uses its tradition's
terminology (唯识/中观/禅宗/天台/华严/净土 terms)
- Example: user asks '因缘果' → xuanzang queries '因缘果 六因 四缘 五果 种子',
kumarajiva queries '因缘所生法 空 中道 无自性 四句'
This ensures both masters get precise text_id citations, not degraded search URLs.
- New --brief flag for semantic/search subcommands outputs one-line-per-result
(title + link + 80-char snippet) instead of full 500-char excerpts
- Reduces output from ~60 lines to ~7 lines per query (3 results)
- /compare-masters now uses --brief by default (multiple queries no longer
flood the terminal with long excerpts)
- Full output (default) preserved for single-master /ask and debugging
- Add Layer 0 hard rule to all 8 masters' voice.md: first turn must use
neutral address (您/汝/你/问者), forbidden terms include 居士/行者/学人/
善男子/善女人/出家人/师父/大众/道友/善信/道友
- From turn 2+: masters adapt to user's self-disclosed or question-inferred
identity, restoring each master's historical address style
- Layer 2 开场方式/称呼方式 reorganized into 首轮中立 / 身份已知后 tiers
- Update voice_builder.md and voice_analyzer.md templates so future
/create-master runs inherit this rule
- Add tools/sync_skill_from_voice.py to keep SKILL.md PART B in sync
- Add 48 regression tests in test_voice_rules.py (all 79 tests pass)
Each teacher's meta.json now includes search_scope with tradition-specific
CBETA/SuttaCentral IDs, dictionary sources, and keywords for focused RAG
retrieval. New tools/cross_reference.py enables lineage queries and
cross-tradition concept comparison via FoJin KG.
