hf-increment

What problem does it solve?

It identifies whether a change request represents an increment (scope/requirements change) or a hotfix (defect repair) and produces a structured change package, enabling proper routing to the correct canonical re-entry node and preventing unintended in-place patches.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Fixed baseline assessment to distinguish increment from hotfix.
• Explicit invalidation of affected approvals, tasks, and evidence when scope changes.
• Selection of a single canonical re-entry node and routing of follow-up reviews.
• Minimal, targeted updates to artifacts and status fields without implementing changes.
• Applicable to scenarios involving modifications to scope, acceptance criteria, or constraints in approved artifacts.

Quick Start

Provide a structured increment analysis for a given change request and output the change package, impact matrix, and the unique re-entry node.
