SPECLAN v0.9.8 — From an Idea to a Spec You'd Actually Implement

v0.9.8 turns SPECLAN from a place you store specifications into a place you write them. A new AI Assistant takes a one-line idea and forges a context-aware first draft for a Feature, Requirement, or Change Request — then two refinement tools sharpen it. Clarify finds the ambiguities and gaps in your draft and asks you targeted questions; your answers are worked back in. Brainstorm surfaces the angles you didn't think of and lets you pick which ones make it into the spec. The AI suggests; you decide what stays. Also in v0.9.8: a permanently visible Search Bar in the WYSIWYG editor for finding text fast within the open specification.

Spec Artifacts attach evidence to a single feature, requirement, or change request with Change Request governance on locked specs. Project Artifacts give the whole project a shared reference shelf with no governance at all. Plus Quick Impl., the pill button that turns an approved spec into a paste-ready implementation prompt with a single click.
