[JeremyDev87]

Summary

Bundle Wow Experience Wave 1-3, dramatic polish, and the codingbuddy redesign into a minor release. This PR prepares v5.5.0 but does not publish it — the final tag/npm publish/GitHub Release steps are reserved for manual execution by the maintainer.

Dramatic Polish

• Council Assembly Animation (feat(plugin): Council Assembly Animation — staggered specialist arrival effect #1441) — staggered specialist arrival effect

Redesign (carried forward)

• `activate` MCP tool — one-shot entry point
• Promoted Claude native Teams as primary specialist execution strategy

Fixes

• feat(mcp): add effectiveness scoring to rule impact report #1444 RuleTracker effectiveness write-path (`generatedRule`, `baselineFailureRate`, `currentFailureRate`)
• Plugin README build drift (`scripts/build.ts` template sync)

Version bumps (5.4.1 → 5.5.0)

• `apps/mcp-server/package.json` + `src/shared/version.ts`
• `packages/rules/package.json`
• `packages/claude-code-plugin/package.json` + `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`
• `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`
• `yarn.lock`

Documentation

• `CHANGELOG.md`: new `## [5.5.0]` section with complete release notes
• Root README (en + ko + zh-CN + ja + es): new "What's New in v5.5.0" section with 7 bullet highlights
• `apps/mcp-server/README.md`: CLI Commands table adds `init --team`; new MCP Tools section documents `activate` and `suggest_rules`
• `packages/claude-code-plugin/README.md`: regenerated by `yarn build` (5.4.0 → 5.5.0, now picks up latest template)

Execution strategy

Release prep was executed via Claude native Teams with 3 parallel specialists:

• `changelog-writer` — CHANGELOG v5.5.0 section
• `readme-writer` — 5 root README language variants
• `mcp-docs` — apps/mcp-server/README.md

Zero file overlap between workers; main session handled version bump + build + CI + commit.

Test plan

All checks PASS locally:

• `yarn workspace codingbuddy` lint / format:check / typecheck / test:coverage / circular / build
  • 6270 passed / 2 skipped (247 test files)
• `yarn workspace codingbuddy-claude-plugin` lint / format:check / typecheck / test:coverage / circular / build
  • 144 passed (5 test files)
• Security audit (`npm audit --severity high`) for all 3 workspaces (codingbuddy, plugin, landing-page)
• `yarn workspace codingbuddy-claude-plugin build` regenerates plugin README cleanly at v5.5.0
• Version files verified (mcp-server, rules, plugin, plugin.json, marketplace.json, version.ts all at 5.5.0)
