 ## [Unreleased]

+
+### Added
+
+- `chi guardrails rule <id>` prints exactly `asks` when that rule votes `ask` on this machine now, and says why not otherwise. [docs/cli.md](docs/cli.md)
+- `guardrails.system_one.repo_rules` (default `git-merge`): a rule's System 1 record per repository, so a clean record at home doesn't let System 1 answer it in an unknown project. [docs/guardrails.md](docs/guardrails.md#answering-for-the-user-on-mode)
+
+### Changed
+
+- A continue's carry note now holds the previous session's last answer after its recap (its last 4000 characters when longer), so a wrap-up's exact shas, paths and next steps reach the next link without a paste; `session.carry_last_answer: false` keeps it recap-only. A note can no longer exceed its 16 KiB and fail the continue: a recap of many non-ASCII characters used to.
+- The coordinator's merges are now guardrail approvals (bundle coordinator 0.7.0). A verified branch that can fast-forward merges with no question from the model: you get the new `git-merge` rule's card, and **Allow rule git-merge in this repo** lets later merges there pass, so trusted projects merge on green and an unknown one still asks. Anything less certain still gets the question, and with no grant a yes is followed by the card. The rule votes in every session on a machine with the coordinator bundle, in any repo, children and background builds too (a child's `git merge main` raises a card), and `--non-interactive` merges are now denied. `chi update` brings it. [docs/bundles.md](docs/bundles.md#the-coordinator-bundle)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A stored approval no longer covers another rule's ask on the same call. With rule `git-push` allowed in the repo, `git push && git reset --hard` ran with no ask, because an ask keeps the first rule's id. When a second rule asks about a call, no rule grant answers it, none is offered and System 1 doesn't auto-allow it; a session or repo approval for exactly that command still answers. [docs/guardrails.md](docs/guardrails.md#approvals)
+
+## [0.147.0] - 2026-11-03
+
+### Changed
+
+- With `update.auto: install` a newer chi installed some other way, such as `chi update` in a terminal, now gets the
+  same unattended restarts as one chi web installed itself: idle workers and chi web move onto it within about 10
+  minutes once no turn runs, and the phone hears "chi updated to X". The page offers no **Restart** buttons meanwhile,
+  unless the restart failed or has waited an hour; `update.restart: never` keeps them.
+  [docs/configuration.md](docs/configuration.md#unattended-updates-updateauto)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- An automatic update's sheet no longer offers **Restart workers** and **Restart chi web** beside a run already doing
+  both, and its worker restarts no longer stack sticky toasts unless one fails.

+- **Merges.** Your approval is chi's own card, not a question from the model. When its verdict on a branch is "done and

+  `git merge --ff-only <branch>` alone. You then get the approval card, or, if you allowed the rule in this repo, it

+  no. A Deny is saved and not retried: the model reports it and leaves the branch until you say otherwise. Under `--non-interactive` no one can answer, so a merge is
+  denied and it tells you. A parent agent may give Allow once under `guardrails.parent_answers: soft`, as it may answer
+  a question today.
+
+  The bundle's rule `git-merge` (`guardrails/merge.yml`) asks before every `git merge`, whatever the
+  branch, including `git -C`, `--git-dir=`, a `cd` before it and `sh -c`. It offers Allow once and **Allow rule git-merge
+  in this repo**: that grant holds for every later merge in the repository, in each of its worktrees and sessions,
+  and for nothing else. `git merge y && git push` still asks, once ([Approvals](guardrails.md#approvals)). `merge-base`,
+  `merge-tree`, `merge-file`, `mergetool` and a merge whose first word is `--abort`, `--continue` or `--quit` don't ask;
+  `git pull` and `gh pr merge` are not covered. It votes in every session on a machine with this bundle, in any repo,
+  children and background builds too, so a child's `git merge main` raises a card. A `--non-interactive` merge is denied,
+  with nobody to ask. It over-asks where the words are data (a commit message, `chi send -m`), and when merging the default branch into
+  a feature branch. `guardrails.disable: [git-merge]` switches it off. A grant goes by the repository chi is in, so
+  `git -C other merge` or `cd other && git merge` from a granted repo passes: an accident guard, as the rest
+  of the rules are. "Rule in this repo" tapped on a child's `git merge main` frees every merge there, as the rule's
+  reason says. A `git-merge` rule copied into config.yml votes first and keeps its behaviour; the old snippet,
+  `\bgit\s+merge\b`, also matches `git merge-base`, so drop your copy.
