Before a harness upgrade, checks the harness's pending release notes against DinoStack and patches what they affect, through the existing review and edit paths.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says

<!--
Purpose: Before a harness upgrade, checks the harness's pending release notes against DinoStack and
patches what they affect, through the existing review and edit paths.
Public API: /ds-harness-upgrade-prep [harness] [--notes <local path>] [--installed <version>]. Writes one
gitignored run directory under <AE_REPO_DIR>/docs/planning/ (releases.json, pending.md,
report.md). Exits ok | needs_human | blocked with a "safe to upgrade" or "not safe yet" verdict.
Upstream deps: content/commands/ds-update-agentic-engineering.md (AE_REPO_DIR resolver, in-repo comparison,
Scope list, edit path); content/commands/ds-skeptic.md; the GitHub releases API; python3, curl.
Downstream consumers: build-all.sh (regenerates this command into the adapter dirs); the operator.
Failure modes: nothing mechanical confirms the analyst read all of pending.md; the Review round is the check.
Only the newest 100 releases are fetched.
Performance: one API fetch, one analyst spawn, and one review loop per invocation.

How to install
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/ds-harness-upgrade-prep@sha256:51c9f562896587b8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.163721a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
