 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.18.0] - 2026-10-02
+
+### Added
+- Added the `ace-runtime` tmux adapter, exposing window, pane, send, capture, wait, and listing intents through the shared runtime contract while retaining the existing `ace-tmux` control surface.
+
+### Fixed
+- Send adapter message text literally, classify missing pane targets, and use bounded polling plus output settling for agent completion waits.
+- Agent completion waits poll shell panes and any mixed requested states instead of requiring an interactive CLI pane, and `working` now matches immediately in mixed requests.
+- Shell-pane waits accept only after the monotonic deadline, stability timing starts at the first matching observation, unset option reads are distinguished from transport errors, literal send messages terminate option parsing, and pane capture includes the visible screen.
+- Window option reads use the window scope (`-w`) with trimmed values so idempotent `ensure_window` works across calls, shell-pane completion aliases resolve to the observable idle state, and context reporting no longer drops an explicit session when the pane cannot be resolved.
+- Shell-pane agent waits require pane output to hold still before reporting completion, `pane-exited` distinguishes absent panes from failed queries, and the full send key sequence is validated before any transport with ctrl-chord keys supported.

 **Control tmux through a shared ACE contract** - run `ace-tmux send`, `capture`, `wait`, `attach`, and `detach` when higher-level ACE tools or operators need live pane/session control without re-implementing tmux wrappers.
 
+The `ace-runtime` library can also resolve the tmux adapter with `Ace::Runtime.resolve("tmux")`. It keeps tmux targets and environment resolution inside this gem, and exposes the shared window, pane, send, capture, and wait methods to runtime-neutral callers. A named window is reused when its root and preset match; `prepare_pane` creates a retained shell pane when no prepared live pane exists.
+
 **Compose nested pane layouts in YAML** - use `direction` and nested pane containers to model custom split trees beyond tmux built-in layouts, keeping workspace structure version-controlled alongside your project.
 
 **Reuse presets through config cascade** - load project presets from `.ace/tmux/`, personal presets from `~/.ace/tmux/`, and gem defaults via `.ace-defaults/tmux/` with deep-merge behavior so teams share a baseline while individuals customize.
