 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.9.0] - 2026-06-22
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- Changed the bundled `open-claude-design` workflow input contract by removing `reference`, `output_type`, and `design_system`; discovery now gathers output type, design-system context, and references during the run.
+- Removed the Atomic-specific `bashPolicy` command allow/deny API from the SDK/session surface and built-in `bash` tool; use `tools`/`excludedTools`/`noTools`, custom tools, or an external sandbox for command scoping.
+
+### Added
+
+- Added configurable context-window selection for models with multiple context tiers, including GitHub Copilot live-catalog support, CLI/settings/RPC controls, SDK helpers and exported types, per-session persistence, model picker UI, and long-context workflow model tokens.
+- Added upstream Pi 0.79.7/0.79.9 capabilities including automatic light/dark themes, chat-template thinking compatibility for custom OpenAI-compatible providers, expanded SDK exports, updated model/provider metadata, and Markdown streaming stability.
+- Replaced browser automation with the bundled `playwright-cli` skill/command and added the `effective-liteparse` document-extraction skill for local PDF/DOCX/PPTX/XLSX/image extraction.
+- Added the builtin `goal` workflow's safe-by-default `create_pr` toggle and final PR/MR/review handoff stage.
+- Restructured the builtin `open-claude-design` workflow around `impeccable` discovery/init, design-system/reference gathering, forked generation plus user-feedback loops, and a minimal export/display phase.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Aligned Atomic's bundled upstream Pi runtime packages through `^0.79.9`, carrying provider catalog updates, GitHub Copilot model filtering, GLM-5.2 metadata, Mistral prompt-cache accounting, OpenRouter Fusion, and shared TUI/runtime fixes.
+- Changed GitHub Copilot context-window handling to derive tiers from the live CAPI model catalog, display full long-context windows while tracking effective prompt budgets internally, seed cached tiers at startup, and keep per-model persisted selections isolated.
+- Synced the Atomic CLI with upstream behavior such as self-only `atomic update` by default, improved model search/autocomplete, generated model catalog updates, theme mode support, and extension documentation/API clarifications.
+- Updated bundled workflows, subagents, docs, and verification guidance to use `playwright-cli` instead of the removed `browser` skill / `browse` CLI.
+- Changed repository validation to include the monorepo-wide Bun/prek/CI file-length gate for tracked TS/JS/Rust files with only documented generated/vendored exclusions.
+- Switched the repository to versionless `main`: package manifests stay at `0.0.0`, release notes land as CHANGELOG-only PRs, and real versions are stamped only on off-main tag commits via `scripts/cut-release.ts`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed GitHub Copilot Gemini request/stream failures by sanitizing Gemini-incompatible tool schemas, reconstructing flattened and dotted tool arguments for execution and replay, preserving Gemini thought signatures through `reasoning_opaque`, retrying degenerate empty/error completions appropriately, and hardening reconstruction against prototype pollution.
+- Fixed context-window startup, session-switch, settings, RPC, picker, SDK, and GitHub Copilot restart edge cases so selected windows are validated and persisted consistently without leaking unsupported defaults across providers.
+- Fixed credential-store load failures and concurrent session creation by surfacing real auth-store read errors, avoiding throwaway `AuthStorage` instances when a registry is supplied, and making credential reads lock-free while retaining atomic locked writes.
+- Fixed workflow and extension resource/session behavior, including default session-dir visibility for extensions, same-directory resource reload reuse, workflow stage inheritance from non-default session dirs, and custom resource snapshots for `atomic -e` workflows.
+- Fixed model and runtime polish including RPC unknown-command ids, `/model` query ranking, WSL bash stdin execution, fuzzy `edit` patch generation, overflow compaction after oversized successful responses, source-CLI Bun subprocess tests, and stale update banners on `0.0.0` dev builds.
+- Fixed release and workflow reliability issues including the `publish-release` Publish-run verifier, `open-claude-design` feedback threading/artifact safety/browser handling, and successful overflow-sized assistant response compaction.
+
+## [0.9.0-alpha.4] - 2026-06-22
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- Changed the bundled builtin `open-claude-design` workflow's inputs: removed `reference`, `output_type`, and `design_system` in favor of a new `discovery` interview stage that asks for the output type and references. Inputs are now `prompt`, `discover_references`, and `max_refinements`. Drop those removed arguments from existing invocations and let discovery ask (or describe them in `prompt`).
+
+### Added
+
+- Restructured the bundled builtin `open-claude-design` workflow around the accessible `impeccable` skill. It now opens with one combined `discovery` stage that runs `/skill:impeccable shape` and `/skill:impeccable init` so PRODUCT.md/DESIGN.md are detected, created, or reconciled without a separate init stage, gathers context with `ds-locator` / `ds-analyzer` / `ds-patterns` (which directly capture/parse user-provided URL/file references), then runs optional gallery `reference-discovery` using that ds-* context and asks which curated direction the user prefers (or asks for a reference image/screenshot/URL/path if none fit), then runs a forked `generate-*` / `user-feedback-*` loop. `generate-1` is the first loop iteration, later generate stages fork from the previous generate session, and user-feedback stages fork from the previous feedback session while driving `/skill:impeccable live`. Export is now deliberately only `exporter` plus `final-display`; the separate `web-capture-*`, `file-parser-*`, `design-system-builder`, `pre-export-scan`, and `forced-fix` stages were removed. Updated the bundled workflow docs to describe the trimmed input set, combined discovery/init stage, context/reference phase, reference precedence, forked generate/user-feedback loop, and minimal export phase.
+- Added the bundled builtin `goal` workflow's safe-by-default `create_pr` toggle and final `pull-request` stage. Goal now mirrors Ralph's PR handoff behavior: omitted or `false` skips PR/MR/review creation and omits `pr_report`, while strict `create_pr=true` authorizes only the final stage after reviewer quorum plus reducer approval to inspect the goal ledger, worker receipts, reviewer artifacts, final report, repository state, and provider credentials before attempting a provider-appropriate PR/MR/review request. Intermediate Goal worker/reviewer prompts now tell stages to ignore PR-creation requests so PR handoff stays confined to the final stage. Updated the bundled workflow docs, quickstart, README, and `/atomic` guide copy to describe the opt-in behavior.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed the bundled builtin `open-claude-design` feedback path so live annotations from `user-feedback-*` are parsed, persisted, and required to thread into the next `generate-*` prompt before another revision runs. Also kept final display read-only, constrained annotation snapshot artifact copies to the project/artifact dir, and preserved the browser-centric clean early exit when `playwright-cli` is unavailable (skipped under the test harness).

+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- Replaced the removed `defineWorkflow(...).run(...).compile()` builder with the single `workflow({ name?, description, inputs, outputs, run })` authoring door; authored workflows now import and export the `workflow` definition directly.
+- Removed the workflow stage/task/direct-mode `bashPolicy` option and schema so workflow-launched `bash` tools match upstream pi behavior; use `tools`/`noTools`, custom tools, or external sandboxing for command scoping.
+- Changed the builtin `open-claude-design` workflow contract by renaming `browse_cli_status` to `playwright_cli_status` and removing the `reference`, `output_type`, and `design_system` inputs in favor of discovery-stage questioning.
+
+### Added
+
+- Added per-model context-window workflow authoring tokens such as `github-copilot/claude-opus-4.8 (1m):xhigh`, plus `contextWindow`/`contextWindowStrict` stage and direct-task options.
+- Added deterministic workflow-stage resume handling that suppresses duplicate readiness prompts after interactive resumes and continues promptable stages exactly once.
+- Added a `playwright-cli` QA proof-video path to the builtin `ralph` workflow and a safe final-stage attachment/link handoff when `create_pr=true`.
+- Added shared initial prompt-refinement stages to the builtin `ralph` and `goal` workflows so raw requests are clarified with the `prompt-engineer` skill before research and orchestration.
+- Added the builtin `goal` workflow's safe-by-default `create_pr` toggle and final `pull-request` stage for GitHub, Azure Repos, GitLab, Bitbucket, Sapling, or Phabricator handoff after reviewer/reducer approval.
+- Restructured the builtin `open-claude-design` workflow around `impeccable` discovery/init, design-system/reference gathering, optional reference discovery, forked generate/user-feedback iterations, and a minimal exporter/final-display phase.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Decomposed the foreground workflow executor behind an internal `EngineRuntime.spawnStage(...)` chokepoint while preserving run, resume, kill, HIL, worktree, model-fallback, graph-frontier, and continuation behavior.
+- Changed builtin `ralph`, `goal`, and `open-claude-design` browser automation guidance from the removed `browser` skill / `browse` CLI to the `playwright-cli` skill and command.
+- Changed builtin `ralph` review fan-out to three independent model-family reviewers with severity-aware unanimous approval, stronger implementation-notes evidence requirements, and non-blocking P3 nit handling.
+- Changed builtin workflows to use long-context GitHub Copilot fallback model tokens where available and to inherit upstream pi TUI `^0.79.9` compatibility fixes.
+- Changed contributor validation to include the monorepo-wide file-length gate for tracked TS/JS/Rust files in local `prek` hooks and PR CI, with only documented generated/vendored exclusions and no grandfathered baseline allowlist.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed workflow stage sessions to inherit the host's non-default session directory in headless/forked runs while preserving explicit per-stage overrides.
+- Fixed manual workflow pause/resume state so attached-stage controls update the main run status the same way `/workflow pause` and `/workflow resume` do.
+- Fixed the builtin `ralph` review loop to stop on deterministic severity-aware unanimous approval instead of treating non-blocking P3 findings or placeholder findings as blockers.
+- Fixed workflow model fallback to reuse the initially loaded credential/model registry, report real credential-store load failures, and resume follow-ups on the settled fallback model instead of replaying from the unavailable primary.
+- Fixed `open-claude-design` user-feedback threading, test artifact placement, browser-unavailable early exits, snapshot copy safety, placeholder filtering, and read-only final display behavior.
+
+## [0.9.0-alpha.4] - 2026-06-22
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- Restructured the builtin `open-claude-design` workflow's input contract. Removed the `reference`, `output_type`, and `design_system` inputs; the workflow now gathers those through a new `discovery` interview stage instead. The remaining inputs are `prompt`, `discover_references`, and `max_refinements`. Existing invocations that passed `reference=…`, `output_type=…`, or `design_system=…` should drop those arguments and let the discovery stage ask for the output type and references (or describe them in `prompt`).
+
+### Added
+
+- Restructured the builtin `open-claude-design` workflow around the accessible `impeccable` skill (`/skill:impeccable …`). The current phase order is: (1) **combined discovery/init** — one `discovery` stage runs `/skill:impeccable shape` to confirm the brief, output type, and references, then runs `/skill:impeccable init` so impeccable detects/creates/reconciles `PRODUCT.md` / `DESIGN.md` without a separate init stage; (2) **context/reference phase** — `ds-locator` / `ds-analyzer` / `ds-patterns` first gather project design-system evidence and handle user-provided URL/file reference capture/parsing, then optional `reference-discovery` browses curated galleries using the ds-* evidence and asks the user which curated direction they prefer (or asks for a reference image/screenshot/URL/path if none fit); (3) **forked generate/user-feedback loop** — `generate-1` produces the first `preview.html`, each `user-feedback-*` stage drives `/skill:impeccable live`, and meaningful feedback threads into the next forked `generate-*` stage; (4) **export** — export is now deliberately only `exporter` followed by `final-display`, with no `pre-export-scan`, `forced-fix`, `web-capture-*`, `file-parser-*`, or `design-system-builder` stages. User-provided references take **precedence over `DESIGN.md`/`PRODUCT.md`** through the `REFERENCE_PRECEDENCE` prompt block. Added unit coverage for the trimmed input contract, combined discovery/init stage, direct `ds-*` reference handling, forked generate/user-feedback continuity, removed export/parse/builder/init stages, and feedback persistence/threading.
+- Added a safe-by-default `create_pr` toggle to the builtin `goal` workflow, matching Ralph's final-stage PR handoff behavior. Goal now skips PR/MR/review creation unless `create_pr=true` **and** reviewer quorum plus the reducer mark the run `complete` within the turn budget, omits `pr_report` when disabled or not approved, and runs a provider-aware `pull-request` stage only at the end when explicitly authorized. The final stage reads the goal ledger, worker receipts, latest review artifact, final report, and sanitized `base_branch` before attempting GitHub, Azure Repos, GitLab, Bitbucket, Sapling, or Phabricator handoff tooling. Goal worker/reviewer prompts now include an intermediate-stage guardrail telling them to ignore PR-creation requests because only the final `pull-request` stage may attempt that handoff.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed the builtin `open-claude-design` workflow feedback threading so `user-feedback-*` live annotations (`user_notes`, `live_changes`, and `annotated_snapshot`) are parsed, persisted under `<artifact_dir>/feedback/iteration-<n>.*`, and required to appear in the next `generate-*` prompt before a revision runs. The old internal critique/screenshot/apply stages were removed, so user feedback is now the sole refinement signal.
+- Fixed the builtin `open-claude-design` workflow polluting the project's `specs/design/` tree with per-run artifact folders during automated test runs; `prepareArtifactDir` now writes to the OS tmpdir when `NODE_ENV=test`.
+- Hardened the builtin `open-claude-design` browser and artifact safety paths: when the `playwright-cli` browser is unavailable the run exits cleanly up front (skipped under the test harness), annotation snapshot copies are constrained to the project/artifact dir, one-character real notes survive placeholder filtering, and the final `final-display` stage is read-only so it only surfaces the exported spec and re-run instructions.
