 ## Unreleased
 
+## 0.5.0 (2026-10-01)
+
+- Dependency update: pins @byokit/accounts 0.14.0.
+
+- Accept inline PNG/JPEG images for structured generation and the subscription CLI backend, using the shared image types; generation cache keys include canonical image bytes, MIME and IDs.
+
+- Add named inline image inputs (bytes or data URLs with MIME) to decisions and evaluations, with
+  image references in criteria, portable cache keys, and typed refusal for models without image support.
+- Answerer-backed decisions preserve per-call usage and model rationales, including abstentions and
+  cache hits; existing text-only answerers remain compatible. Subscription lanes stay host-owned;
+  API key (billed per use) routes still require explicit opt-in.
+- Add generic recorded answers and evaluateDecisions for image evals through the kit backend seam;
+  offline replay remains the default.
+- Add portable structured generation with local schema validation, complete-value results, model-separated caching, output budgets up to 16k tokens, and fixed failure messages.
+- Add the Node-only `claude-code` adapter for an app-named unmodified binary and separate sign-in directory, labelled subscription with no API-key fallback. Tools, MCP, hooks and session persistence are disabled; tests use an offline fake binary.

+## Images and explanations
+
+Pass `images` alongside the state. Each image has a unique `id`, an image `mime`, and either non-empty
+`Uint8Array` `bytes` or a base64 `dataUrl` whose MIME matches. The kit accepts inline data only; the host owns
+file reading, screenshots, resizing and any image-size policy. A question's optional `images` list names the
+images its criteria refer to; instructions and rubric levels can refer to the same IDs. All supplied images are
+attached in order, including reference images.
+
+```ts
+import { answerer, decide, type DecisionImage, type Usage } from '@byokit/decide';
+
+// Supplied by the app's subscription lane and screenshot storage.
+declare const hostModel: { capabilities: { images: boolean } };
+declare const memberLane: { respond(request: { prompt: string; signal: AbortSignal; images: readonly DecisionImage[] }):
+  Promise<{ text: string; usage?: Usage }> };
+declare const candidatePng: Uint8Array;
+declare const referenceDataUrl: string;
+
+const backend = answerer({
+  name: 'member-model', leaves: true,
+  supportsImages: hostModel.capabilities.images, // capability of the model the app selected
+  ask: async (prompt, signal, images) => {
+    // Host's kit-backed subscription lane. It owns sign-in and provider image mapping.
+    const result = await memberLane.respond({ prompt, signal, images });
+    return { text: result.text, usage: result.usage };
+  },
+});
+const { craft } = await decide({ rubric: 'Compare the candidate with the reference.' }, {
+  craft: { kind: 'score', levels: ['Needs work', 'Meets the reference'],
+    instructions: 'Judge candidate against reference.', images: ['candidate', 'reference'] },
+}, {
+  privacy: 'may-leave', backends: [backend],
+  images: [
+    { id: 'candidate', mime: 'image/png', bytes: candidatePng },
+    { id: 'reference', mime: 'image/png', dataUrl: referenceDataUrl },
+  ],
+});
+// craft.rationale explains the model's judgment; craft.reason explains a resolver abstention.
+// craft.usage carries the model call's reported input_tokens/output_tokens, even if it abstains.
+```
+
+The third `ask` argument contains normalized `{ id, mime, dataUrl }` images; prompt text describes their IDs and
+order without embedding the bytes. The requested JSON is
+`{ "craft": { "probabilities": { "0": 0.2, "1": 0.8 }, "rationale": "Matches the reference." } }`.
+Old replies shaped `{ "craft": { "0": 0.2, "1": 0.8 } }` still work. A structured `AnswererReply` can also supply
+one call-wide `rationale` as a fallback and `raw` as the safe response body. Missing usage or rationale stays
+absent; the kit invents neither. Usage is **per model call**, repeated on each question answered by that call:
+count it once, not by summing every question. Cache hits preserve it and the rationale; use `source` to exclude
+cached answers from live billing totals. Malformed or missing answers still keep reported usage.
+
+`supportsImages: true` is required on `answerer`, custom model backends and `openai` when the selected model
+supports images. The app supplies that capability from its model selection, rather than the kit guessing from
+model names. Jev is text only. Kit model backends without image support throw `UnsupportedImagesError`
+(`code: 'unsupported_images'`) before sending a request, including when called directly; there is no automatic
+provider or billing fallback. `InvalidImageError` (`code: 'invalid_image'`) rejects invalid image data, duplicate IDs
+and missing question references. Privacy filtering happens before capability refusal, so `stays-here` never
+sends images to a remote backend. Local `rules` can inspect normalized images in their fourth callback argument.
+
+For OpenAI, use `openai({ auth: 'account', account, model: chosenModel, supportsImages: true })` for a consented
+subscription, or explicitly supply `key` for API key (billed per use). Image parts use the Responses format on both
+routes. `createDecider` accepts images in its third call argument, e.g. `run(state, questions, { images })`.
+Cache keys include image bytes, MIME, IDs and order, in addition to the existing model/account configuration.
+No sign-in, billing route or stored token behavior changes.
+
+Image evals use the same question and attachment IDs. Each JSONL case may contain `images` and a generic
+`recorded` raw answer (`probabilities`, optional `pick`, `usage`, `rationale`), alongside the existing `jev` recordings.
+`format` serializes bytes as data URLs; `parse` validates images and the question's references in every case.
+`recorded` takes precedence over `jev` in offline replay. This header and case illustrate named image criteria:
+
+```jsonl
+{"decision":"craft","question":{"kind":"score","levels":["Candidate falls below reference","Candidate matches reference"],"images":["candidate","reference"]},"note":"Hand-authored example, not a live recording"}
+{"state":{"rubric":"Compare composition"},"images":[{"id":"candidate","mime":"image/png","dataUrl":"data:image/png;base64,AQ=="},{"id":"reference","mime":"image/png","dataUrl":"data:image/png;base64,Ag=="}],"expect":1,"recorded":{"probabilities":{"0":0.1,"1":0.9},"rationale":"Matches the reference.","usage":{"input_tokens":12,"output_tokens":5}}}
+```
+
+The one-byte payloads above illustrate the schema only; supply actual encoded images for model runs.
+`evaluateDecisions(file, { privacy, backends })` forwards each case's images through `decide` automatically,
+including subscription-backed answerers; `evaluate(cases, replay(question))` and the CLI replay them offline.
+`byokit-eval --live` remains an explicit API-billed Jev path and refuses image cases with `UnsupportedImagesError`.
+App-specific rubrics, reference corpora and acceptance thresholds stay in the host.

+## Structured generation
+
+`generate<T>({ state, images? }, schema, { backends, cache, budget })` returns a complete, locally validated
+`data` value or `data: null` with a fixed `failure` code/message. It keeps `text`, reported `usage`,
+`raw`, `by`, `ms` and `source: 'api' | 'cache'`. The generic type is the app's declaration;
+validation uses the supplied schema. The runner tries backends in order and stores only successes.
+An `IncompleteError` is a failure, even if it contains a usable-looking partial object.
+
+Images use the shared `ImageInput` type: unique IDs plus PNG/JPEG bytes or matching MIME/base64
+data URLs. `image/jpg` is normalized to `image/jpeg`; other formats are refused with
+`InvalidImageError` and must be converted by the host. The kit never fetches URLs or reads image
+files. Generation backends must declare `supportsImages: true`; a text-only backend is refused
+with `UnsupportedImagesError`. Image bytes and data URLs for the same payload share a cache key.
+
+The bounded JSON Schema subset supports objects, required fields, additional properties, arrays,
+length/item/property counts, unique items, enums/const, numeric bounds, types and boolean/composition
+schemas. Unknown constraints, including `$ref`, `pattern` and `format`, fail before a backend runs.
+Schemas are snapshotted before awaiting a backend. The same validator runs in the CLI adapter.
+
+The budget defaults to 120 seconds for the backend sequence and 16,384 output tokens. Set
+`budget.maxOutputTokens: 8192` for an 8k answer. Hosts implementing `GenerationBackend` must honour
+`maxOutputTokens` and reject incomplete answers; the runner enforces the time limit and validates
+complete values again. `signal` cancels generation. `privacy: 'stays-here'` skips hosted backends.
+There is no default disk cache. `MemoryGenerationCache` is the portable reference; cache keys cover
+state, canonical image bytes/MIME/IDs, schema, backend, model, host-supplied account/config identity and output budget. Pin a model
+when keeping a durable cache; the CLI's default model selection can change independently.
+
+```ts
+import { generate, MemoryGenerationCache, type ImageInput } from '@byokit/decide';
+import { claudeCode } from '@byokit/decide/claude-code';
+
+declare const hostConfig: { model: string };
+declare const images: readonly ImageInput[]; // PNG/JPEG bytes or matching data URLs supplied by the host

+  bin: '/absolute/path/to/claude',
+  configDir: '/absolute/path/to/app-sign-in',
+  model: hostConfig.model,
+  timeoutMs: 120_000,

+
+## Subscription CLI on Node / Electron
+
+The `@byokit/decide/claude-code` subpath is Node-only. The main entry, including `generate`, stays
+portable on browsers and React Native. The host supplies the absolute path of the user's own
+**unmodified** Claude binary (v2.1.286 or later) and an existing, separate absolute sign-in directory.
+The adapter's `billing` is always `'subscription'`; it has no API-key input or fallback. Before
+generation, it asks the binary for `auth status` and requires a signed-in first-party `claude.ai`
+account. Unknown or API authentication is refused before any model request; status metadata is discarded.
+
+Sign in **yourself**, through the binary's own flow, using the same isolated directory:
+
+```sh
+mkdir -p /absolute/path/to/app-sign-in
+CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/absolute/path/to/app-sign-in /absolute/path/to/claude auth login
+```
+
+Choose your subscription account. Do not copy credentials from an existing installation, sign in
+with a Console API key, or point `configDir` at your ordinary `.claude` folder. The kit neither runs
+login nor reads, copies or intermediates credentials. Its separate config directory belongs to the
+binary and is retained between calls. Its temporary home and working directory are removed after
+each call, including cancellation and timeouts. The child's environment is built from a fixed
+minimal set: no ambient keys, OAuth tokens, proxy settings or Node preload scripts.
+
+[Claude Code's authentication and credential-use terms](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/legal-and-compliance#authentication-and-credential-use)
+explicitly permit an end user to sign in to the unmodified binary using their own subscription;
+sign-in must use Anthropic's own flow, and developers may not collect or intermediate those credentials.
+Each user supplies their own installation and account. This adapter adds a route to decide and does
+not change accounts' existing sign-in behavior.
+
+Direct API:
+
+```ts
+import { claudeCode } from '@byokit/decide/claude-code';
+import type { ImageInput } from '@byokit/decide';
+
+declare const images: readonly ImageInput[];
+const backend = claudeCode({ bin: '/absolute/path/to/claude',
+  configDir: '/absolute/path/to/app-sign-in', timeoutMs: 120_000 });
+const controller = new AbortController();
+const schema = { type: 'object', required: ['title'],
+  properties: { title: { type: 'string' } }, additionalProperties: false } as const;
+const { data, text, usage, raw } = await backend.generate({
+  system: 'Make a complete storyboard.', prompt: 'Introduce Umer in six seconds.',
+  images, schema, signal: controller.signal,
+});
+```
+
+The adapter runs headless JSON-schema output over stream-JSON input, with built-in tools and MCP
+unavailable, customization/hook loading disabled, and no saved session. Invalid JSON or schema
+mismatches reject with `ClaudeCodeError`; cut-off output has `name: 'IncompleteError'` and
+`code: 'incomplete'`. Failures use fixed text and never include stderr. It is also a `Backend` for
+`decide(..., { privacy: 'may-leave', backends: [backend] })` choice, yes/no and score questions;
+its confidence estimates are self-reported and still go through decide's ordinary floors.
