# Changelog: what's new in Forge

> Weekly release notes for Forge — new features, updates, and fixes for the CLI, verification gates, and cross-session memory layer.

<Update label="July 19, 2026">
  ## Updates

  **`forge verify --deep` now reports a four-state result.** The multi-lens
  consensus run no longer collapses to a binary pass/fail. You'll see one of
  `PASS`, `FAIL`, `INCOMPLETE`, or `NOT_CONFIGURED`, so a stalled lens or an
  unconfigured repo can't quietly read as green. Only `PASS` counts as verified,
  and `PASS` now also requires the underlying `forge verify` tests status to be
  `PASS` — a green deep run can never outrun a red base run.

  See [Quality commands](/cli/quality) and
  [Verification gates](/concepts/verification-gates).

  **Completion gate requires test evidence for code changes.** For any session
  that touched source code, the Stop-path completion gate no longer accepts a
  `forge handoff` snapshot on its own. You'll need either a test file in the
  session's diff or a fresh passing `forge verify` against the current changes.
  Doc-only, config-only, and other non-code sessions are unaffected.

  When the gate blocks, the repair checklist now leads with `forge verify` so
  the evidence gets recorded before the handoff snapshot. See
  [Cross-session memory](/concepts/cross-session-memory).
