Release 2.1.31 (2026-07-09)

Features

• add skill to reconstruct a remote branch's submit-ready state locally (#617) Cloud/remote agents implement an issue and push its feature branch, but .vergil/pr-workflow.json (the PR-ready state vrg-submit-pr reads) is gitignored, so it never rides the push and is stranded on the cloud VM's volume that macOS cannot see — the branch arrives naked and vrg-submit-pr has nothing to read.

issue-localize is the tail of issue-implement applied to remote work: as the USER agent it resolves an issue number or branch to the pushed feature/- branch, checks it out into a local worktree, re-runs vrg-validate, then regenerates the PR metadata from the durable inputs (the issue + branch diff) via vrg-pr-workflow report-ready. It leaves the worktree submit-ready and hands off to the human for vrg-submit-pr.

Metadata is regenerated locally, not transferred from the VM (Approach A): the pushed branch and issue are always available even after the VM is reaped, keeping the skill decoupled from the cloud with no new infra.

Registers the skill in the README skills table and the docs-site skills index.
