 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.24.3] - 2026-10-29
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Answer and field-update rebuilds parse the case file strictly: an unparsable frontmatter block aborts the mutation instead of silently rebuilding the case from an empty frontmatter (HOTFIX cycle-2b follow-up to the 8xsdfo ask-flow corruption).
+
+## [0.24.2] - 2026-10-27
+
+### Added
+
+- Add the one-turn `ask` command: create + send the question through the configured route, auto-arm the asking agent's own answer wake (ace.wake.ask/v1 request delivered through the ace-wake bridge), print the bare case id as the final stdout line, and end the turn — never block, never poll, no asker-side timeouts; undelivered routes exit 1 before any wake request is dropped, and `ask` completes on accepted-queued frames.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Formalize route recipients as first-class ordered data in the route loader.

+## Ask
+
+One-turn ask: create the question, send it through the configured routes,
+arm the asking agent's own wake for the case answer, and END THE TURN. ask
+glues `create` + `send` + wake-arming into one command for the common case
+where asking is the last action of a turn:
+
+```bash
+ace-hitl ask "Continue with batch 2?" --to captain --kind approval --question "Proceed?"
+ace-hitl ask "Auth strategy?" --to overseer --task 8xg.t.sbz.1.1
+```
+
+```
+HITL event created: 8xhkep Continue with batch 2?
+HITL event 8xhkep sent through 1 route(s):
+  captain (hermes_native): delivered - native transport ...
+8xhkep
+```
+
+The final stdout line is always the bare case id. ask never blocks and never
+polls, carries no urgency language, and has no asker-side timeouts — the
+Captain replies whenever he wants. The answer is delivered TO the agent as
+an ace-wake wake carrying the answer content (see the ace-wake README's ask
+bridge contract); on wake, the agent acts immediately.
+
+Exit 0 when the question was created, the routes accepted the frame, and
+the wake was armed — including the native-style accepted-queued case (a
+stderr warning notes that delivery is unconfirmed; confirmation is
+asynchronous). Exit 1 only for genuine rejects (a route refusing the
+frame, or a concrete configuration error); no wake request is dropped for
+a rejected ask.
