Frankie release notes · Abridge Cloud

0.2.0

2026-06-15

Frankie goes to production — the self-verification coding agent that takes a PR to green and ready-for-review without merging.

Slack activation via `@APEX /frankie <pr-url>` with `status`, `cancel`, and `help`.
Durable 7-stage pipeline (comprehend → spec gate → implement/review → verify → push → watch → self-verify) with BigQuery-backed resume.
Pluggable spec adapter auto-detecting OpenSpec, BMAD, or a `PLAN.md` / PR body.
Anti-cheat diff guard that refuses to skip/delete tests or tamper with required checks.
Offline gated eval suite plus online per-model telemetry, with a multi-dimensional promotion gate.

Runs on its own `apex-frankie` pod (HPA 1→3) behind the `FRANKIE_ENABLED` kill switch.

MCP becomes the day-to-day front door; local `frankie-*` skills retired.

Self-describing MCP surface — `frankie_handover`, `frankie_finish`, `frankie_update`, `frankie_status`, `frankie_thinking`, `frankie_takeover`, `frankie_cancel`, `frankie_preflight`, `frankie_feedback`, `frankie_help`.
GitHub plan handoff — apply `AI FACTORY: READY TO BUILD` (or comment `/frankie`) to trigger a run from the PR.
