 # Changelog
 
+## 0.1.4 (2026-08-26)
+
+### Changed
+
+- Post-steer cooldown (OMP parity): after any advisor note steers a turn,
+  non-blocker notes within the next `immuneTurns` settled turns are deferred to
+  LLM-visible next-turn asides instead of waking the agent again. Without this,
+  each new settled turn's fresh transcript lets the reviewer emit a new note
+  every cycle and the identical-note dedupe never trips — an unbounded
+  nit/concern ping-pong. Blockers always steer immediately (OMP #5628: handing
+  off broken work must be acknowledged). Deferred notes are never lost — they
+  appear in the agent's context on the next user- or blocker-driven turn.
+
+## 0.1.3 (2026-08-26)
+
+### Changed
+
+- Every accepted advisor note now steers the agent as a follow-up turn,
+  regardless of severity (nit included). The review runs from `agent_settled`,
+  when the primary turn is already idle — there is no next step boundary to
+  batch a non-interrupting aside into, so a nit delivered as a card was never
+  acted on until the next user prompt (or never at all). Severity still sets
+  the note's authority wording ("nit — consider" vs "concern — address this"
+  vs "blocker — fix before continuing"). Loop protection remains the emission
+  guard (same normalized note not re-delivered within `immuneTurns`).
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Peer dependency range narrowed to `>=0.84.3 <0.85.0` (the model-picker `ModelSelectorComponent` call is only valid against the 0.84.3 SDK signature).
+
+## 0.1.2 (2026-08-26)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Reviewer severity calibration: rate by end state, not by the agent's summary.
+  Disclosure or acknowledgement no longer demotes a broken/non-compiling result or
+  a violated user constraint to a nit — such notes are at least a `concern`, so they
+  steer a follow-up turn after a settled summary instead of sitting as an aside.
+  Handles the case where the advisor sent a note after the agent's final summary but
+  the agent never continued to act on it.
+
+## 0.1.1 (2026-08-26)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Model picker now matches Pi 0.84.3's `ModelSelectorComponent` constructor
+  (the `settings` param was removed; default-model persistence is now via
+  Ctrl+S and stays disabled here). Fixes a typecheck failure against
+  `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent@0.84.3`.
+- DevDeps bumped to pi SDK/pi-tui 0.84.3 for CI parity.
+

 - **Automatic turn-end review**: after each settled turn with real work, an
   isolated reviewer model examines the transcript and may emit **one** note:
-  - `nit` — minor issue → visible Advisor card, the agent is not interrupted
-  - `concern` — material risk → the note steers the agent as a follow-up
-  - `blocker` — continuing would waste work → steers like a concern
-  - Repeated distinct concerns also steer (no silent downgrade); loop
-    protection comes from the emission guard (same note not re-delivered

+  - `nit` — minor issue
+  - `concern` — material risk
+  - `blocker` — continuing would waste work
+  - Every accepted note is delivered to the agent: as a follow-up turn
+    (steering) when off-cooldown, or as a visible note deferred to the next
+    turn during the post-steer calm-down window. The severity sets the note's
+    authority wording (“nit — consider” vs “concern — address this” vs
+    “blocker — fix before continuing”).
+  - Post-steer cooldown: after a note steers, non-blocker notes within the
+    next `immuneTurns` settled turns are deferred (LLM-visible next turn)
+    instead of waking the agent again — bounds ping-pong. Blockers always
+    steer immediately.
 - **Emission guard** (noise control): content-free phrases ("lgtm", "done", …)
   are dropped, identical notes are deduped (severity escalation still passes),
   and at most one note is delivered per review cycle.
