Description

Updates the ado-lifecycle entry in workflows/catalog.community.json from 0.3.2 to 0.4.0 and updates its row in docs/community/workflows.md. This is a version update to the entry merged in #5312 and updated in #5345 (a workflow-catalog change goes through a pull request; there is no workflow issue form).

• Workflow ID: ado-lifecycle Version: 0.4.0 License: MIT
• Repository: https://github.com/praveenlavu/spec-kit-ado (tag v0.4.0, GitHub release with ado-0.4.0.zip)
• Pinned URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/praveenlavu/spec-kit-ado/v0.4.0/workflows/ado-lifecycle/workflow.yml
• sha256 of that file: efc950094f3aaea80baca5e15c384ac35a9b5ca667218a6219a9247ed302f91c (computed from the downloaded file, 2026-11-13)

What changed in workflow.yml: only its version line (diff of the file at v0.3.2 and v0.4.0 shows one changed line). No step, input, gate, shell command or loop cap changed, and requires is unchanged, so the earlier review findings (the one-pass loop cap from 0.3.1, the head commit in the PR plan from 0.3.2) are untouched. The 0.4.0 release adds opt-in role sign-offs to the ado CLI and extension (ado mode, ado qa, sign-off gates checked by ado done); the workflow does not wait for sign-offs. The workflow's own CHANGELOG says so.

The matching extension update is filed as #5426; a bundle update issue follows.

Testing

• Catalog-only change: the Spec Kit test suite was not run; the JSON parses and the workflows keys are in alphabetical order.
• From the published v0.4.0 artifacts (2026-11-12/13, Spec Kit 1.2.4.dev0, macOS): a clean project installed the bundle from the public release asset and got ado-lifecycle 0.4.0 with the extension at 0.4.0; the workflow.yml hash equals the value above; the documentation and changelog URLs in the entry answer 200.
• Live end-to-end on the 0.4.0 code against a real Azure DevOps organization and Azure Repos repository created for testing (no customer data): a story ran through all 12 gates to a merged pull request and done, with no manual recovery. Because the workflow file differs by one line from 0.3.2, the earlier live reject-path run on 0.3.0 and the loop tests still describe it.
• Not verified: sign-off approvals by comment with a second human identity (the workflow does not use them), Windows, Azure Pipelines on a hosted agent.

Checklist

• Valid workflow.yml (passes specify workflow info)
• README.md with description, inputs, and step graph
• LICENSE file included
• GitHub release created with a tag-pinned raw URL
• Added to workflows/catalog.community.json (alphabetical order), with sha256
• Workflow tested end-to-end with specify workflow run on the final tag (live run on the 0.4.0 code, see Testing)

🔵 Needs a closer look

The external v0.4.0 artifact and digest cannot be independently checked because the published bytes and URL availability are absent from this checkout.
