Weatherreporter v0.13.0

This release upgrades Weatherreporter's generated-text integration through PromptKit v0.9.0 and adds bounded structured-output repair, inherited domain profiles, safer provider diagnostics, and repair provenance.

Summary

Weatherreporter now permits one PromptKit-owned corrective generation when a model returns invalid or explicitly empty structured output. Successful and failed results report the actual correction count when validation completed, and explicit prompt-debug capture can retain bounded provider failure details without exposing them in ordinary output.

The stable weather-light, weather-balanced, and weather-deep profiles now inherit their execution targets from PromptKit's maintained catalog. PromptKit v0.9.0 assembles that catalog from independently versioned OpenRouter and Rakestrawhome modules while preserving Weatherreporter's existing effective profile targets and configured-profile override behavior.

Compatibility

The documented CLI, configuration fields, report IDs, report filenames, Markdown outputs, and Distributor integration remain compatible with v0.12.0. The four generated-text prompts advance to version 2.1.0; an eligible failed validation may therefore make one additional provider call, increasing latency and usage for that execution.

Comparison bundles advance from schema v1 to v2 so each completed validation can record repairAttempts. Weatherreporter intentionally recognizes only the current bundle version for guarded replacement. An existing v1 comparison bundle cannot be replaced with --replace by this release.

Upgrade

No special action is required for ordinary generation, batch execution, configuration, or notification. Operators who want to reuse the destination of a v1 comparison bundle must first remove or relocate that old bundle, or select a new --out-dir.

Operators should account for the possibility of one additional model call when output repair is needed. Existing configured standalone, inherited, and endpoint-only profiles retain their documented precedence.

Changes

• Upgraded PromptKit from v0.5.0 through v0.9.0 and adopted its maintained profile inheritance, optional credential-source behavior, structured repair, generation-error contract, and externally maintained provider catalogs.
• Converted the three Weatherreporter domain profiles into minimal aliases of maintained PromptKit profiles without changing their effective model ladder.
• Added one corrective-generation allowance to all four embedded prompts and exposed actual repair counts in generate, batch, and comparison summaries.
• Migrated the comparison bundle contract to v2 with strict repair-provenance validation and safe partial publication after independent profile failures.
• Added safe provider HTTP status to ordinary errors while confining provider code, type, and message to explicit secure failure.json debug artifacts.
• Strengthened offline coverage for local endpoint-only profiles, optional credentials, concurrent comparison repair outcomes, and failure-debug isolation.
• Updated the PromptKit integration guide, configuration reference, CLI reference, and operations guide for the implemented contracts.
