Release 2.1.40 (2026-10-25)

Chores

• sync the vergil-managed .gitignore block (#711)

Documentation

• document that report-ready publishes the branch (#714) vergil-tooling#3602 (released in 2.1.265) makes vrg-pr-workflow report-ready push the reported commit to origin before recording state. Document that there is no separate push step, and the workflow-file, diverged-branch and other-failure outcomes. Align the docs site, README and CLAUDE.md cloud section. Ref vergil-project/vergil-claude-plugin#712

Features

• refuse epic/archive issues in preflight (#713) Add a preflight step that reads the issue's own labels and stops on epic or archive, mirroring the vergil-tooling#2842 refusal wording and pointing epics to epic-implement. Add the same check to the label step of issue-validate and issue-deploy. Ref #709
