 Tutte le modifiche significative a questa skill saranno documentate in questo file.
 
+## [1.30.0] - 2026-09-01
+
+### Added
+- **F-045: Execute-Before-Specify (SKILL.md, Phase 3).** Every behavioural
+  claim about existing code in an L3 design ("the code today does X") derives
+  from an EXECUTED probe against the real system in its real states, never
+  from reading alone. Probes ship with the artifact as a repo harness
+  (`ai_docs/solutions/harness_[feature]/`) so the reviewer re-runs assertions
+  instead of re-deriving claims. Proportionality bound (only claims the design
+  rests on; structural facts stay with blast radius) and RED-first
+  falsifiability guard (show the probe red, then green -- a probe you cannot
+  make fail establishes nothing). Field measurement: eight consecutive
+  design-review FAILs converged to PASS in one round once claims were executed
+  first. ADR: `adr_2026-09-01_executed_probe_harness`.
+- **F-045 (shared spine `review.md`, byte-identical x3): review-loop
+  convergence.** Three request/loop disciplines: *revise means converge, not
+  accrete* (lean rewrite at the latest before round 3, revision archaeology
+  lives in REVIEW_LOG, never in the artifact); *severity contract* stated with
+  every review request (blocker = unfit-to-proceed evidence only; wishes are
+  WARN at most -- calibrates the scale without pre-judging findings); *scripted
+  author pre-audit* (resolve every `file:line`/symbol anchor and recount every
+  count before requesting). Plus the lens-gated *behavioural-claim-probes*
+  reviewer clause (three findings: claim without probe, harness absent, probe
+  no longer passing) -- fires only in the lens whose SKILL.md defines
+  Execute-Before-Specify, i.e. this one.
+
+## [1.29.0] - 2026-08-28
+
+Spine delta parked for the next release of this lens (shipped first in kb; the
+spine stays byte-identical x3 in the repo while packages publish independently).
+
+### Added
+- **F-041: `check` notes an unwired or dead session-orientation hook** (one
+  informational `[note]` line -- never the exit code, never a `validate` warning,
+  so CI is unaffected). `init` wires the hook only at init time; projects
+  initialized before F-036 or bootstrapped without `init` were silently unwired.
+
+### Added (F-042, parked with the above)
+- Install/update wires the session-orientation hook machine-wide (Claude Code
+  with Python; user-level settings; removal is a standing per-target opt-out;
+  uninstall surgically removes what it wired). The check note is global-aware
+  and reworded in consequence-first user language.
+
+### Added (F-043 port, with the above)
+- **The revision sentence.** Updating an existing analysis (the L2 row and the ANALYSIS write trigger) is a REWRITE, not an
+  append: full re-read, body rewritten to current state -- never an appended
+  delta section. Ported from the kb lens's `## Revision` doctrine (kb 1.10.0),
+  born from a field post-mortem where delta-append revisions left stale
+  sentences standing as printed truth.
+
 ## [1.28.0] - 2026-08-26
 
 F-038 — the gated rung: truthful log vocabulary and a mandated ask, no grant memory.

 The validator is **two files**: `sdlc_core.py` is the family's shared spine, `sdlc_check.py` is this lens's entry point. Copy both, or neither — the entry point is useless alone.
 
+Installing or updating the npm package wires the session-orientation hook

+**Older and agent-bootstrapped projects are silently unwired -- `check` now tells you (F-041).**
+`init` wires the hook at init time only: a project initialized before F-036, or whose
+docs root was bootstrapped by the agent (which runs `index`, never `init`), never
+received it retroactively -- and until F-041 nothing said so. `check` now prints, right after its summary line, a
+one-line `[note]` when no orientation hook is detectable (`.claude/settings.json`,
+`.claude/settings.local.json`, `.codex/hooks.json`), and a DISTINCT note when a hook is
+wired but the validator it names does not resolve (the wired-and-DEAD state below --
+silence there would bless the worst of the three states). The notes are informational
+only: never the exit code, never a `validate` warning -- CI (`validate --strict`) does
+not see them, because the wired hook legitimately lives in the git-ignored
+`settings.local.json`. Known residuals, accepted as honest: a client with no hook
+mechanism (Gemini today) keeps the note -- read it as the manual-reads reminder; a
+`.codex/hooks.json` wired in a shape other than the documented one keeps it too.
+
+**Installing the package wires the hook machine-wide (F-042).** On Claude Code
+with Python, `npm i -g` (and every update) wires a SessionStart orient hook into
+the USER-level settings (`$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/settings.json` when set, else
+`~/.claude/settings.json`), covering every project on the machine -- `orient` is
+fail-open, so projects without a docs root see nothing. The install itself is
+the consent: no question is asked. **Removing that hook entry is a standing
+opt-out**: a per-target marker (`<agentic-sdlc root>/orient-hook-wired`,
+default `~/.agentic-sdlc/`) remembers each settings file ever wired, and no
+install or update ever re-adds a removed hook; deleting the marker file is the
+re-enable gesture. `npm uninstall` removes the entries it can attribute to the
+removed skill (and only those), so no hook is left pointing at deleted files.
+Notes: the global command carries no `--hybrid` (a machine-global hook cannot
+know per-project mode -- on Hybrid projects only the devPNT pointer line is
+absent); a project wired per-project AND globally prints its orientation twice
+-- remove one of the two entries; `init` reports "covered by the machine-global
+hook" instead of wiring a project-level duplicate.

 **Which settings file, and why it is not always the shared one.** The command names a
 validator, and where that validator lives decides where the hook may be written:
