The pre-existing release notes and README "What's New in 2.2" block
only covered the original Project Templates feature. This expands
both to reflect everything that's actually shipping in 2.2:
- Template Configuration (schemaVersion 2): typed schema, 7 field
types, Keychain-backed secrets, configure step in install flow,
post-install Configuration editor, model recommendations.
- Template Catalog: gh-pages site with live dashboard previews,
stdlib-only Python validator mirroring Swift invariants, PR CI
gate, install-URL hosting from raw main.
- Example template `awizemann/site-status-checker` exercising every
v2.2 surface — config form, cron, Site tab webview, dashboard
updates.
- Site tab — a webview widget in any dashboard exposes a second
tab next to Dashboard, rendering a live URL.
- UX clarifications: Remove from List (keep files) vs. Uninstall
Template (remove installed files), preserved-files banner on
uninstall success, Run Now no longer blocks on long agent runs.
- Install-time {{PROJECT_DIR}} / {{TEMPLATE_ID}} / {{TEMPLATE_SLUG}}
token substitution in cron prompts.
Release-notes link + wiki link surfaced at the bottom of the README
block so readers have a jump to full details.

First installable template demonstrating the format:
- Dashboard with stat widgets (up/down/last-checked) + configured-sites
list + quick-start markdown.
- Cross-agent AGENTS.md with the full cron-prompt contract so any agent
that reads agents.md (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Aider, Jules,
Copilot, Zed, …) picks up the behavior on first run.
- Cron job (0 9 * * *) that ships paused with the [tmpl:…] tag, pinging
a user-editable sites.txt and writing results to status-log.md.
- First-run bootstrap logic in AGENTS.md: if sites.txt doesn't exist
yet the agent creates it with two placeholder URLs, then proceeds.
Plus examples/templates/README.md explaining the staging/ layout,
authoring conventions, and how to rebuild a bundle after editing. CI
validates the bundle via ProjectTemplateExampleTemplateTests so drift
between staging/ and the built .scarftemplate fails on every build.
v2.2.0 release notes cover the full feature surface including the
install preview sheet, scarf:// + file:// URL handling, skills
namespacing, cron-job tagging, memory-block markers, and the
lock-driven uninstall flow.
