Key Features

• Packages a complete Spec Kit feature directory into one portable, offline .taco.html review file.
• Lets humans edit canonical Markdown and leave anchored comment threads in the browser.
• Previews and imports conflict-free edits with SHA-256 baselines and all-or-nothing writes.
• Keeps the feature Taco current through two Agent commands and eight mandatory Spec Kit lifecycle hooks.
• Ships a self-contained browser shell and offline Node.js CLI; no Taco account or service is required.

Additional Context

• Release: https://github.com/Arcadia822/taco/releases/tag/v0.3.1
• Spec Kit 1.x compatibility evidence: [Bug]: Spec Kit 1.0.2 compatibility range blocks a working Taco install Arcadia822/taco#1
• Taco is a local-first review surface. Canonical Spec Kit files remain the source of truth, and collaboration-enabled Taco files are treated as potentially credential-bearing.
