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.
