+Braid is a small runtime for mutable agent graphs with bounded loops, isolated
+executions, and explicit workspace integration. The goal is a predictable core
+and thin host adapters. This is a direction for discussion, not a delivery schedule.

+The 0.2 execution-control foundation is implemented. Source availability and npm
+availability are separate milestones. Check
+[GitHub releases](https://github.com/Epsirom/braid/releases),
+[@chrok/braid](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@chrok/braid), and
+[@chrok/pi-braid](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@chrok/pi-braid) for published versions.
 
-Published versions are listed in [GitHub releases](https://github.com/Epsirom/braid/releases).
+## 0.2 implemented foundation
+
+- [x] Separate editable node definitions from captured execution instances,
+  retaining exact predecessor identities, historical outputs, and checkpoints.
+- [x] Bounded structured loops with explicit decision feedback, fresh workspaces
+  per visit, finite iteration limits, and a total execution budget.
+- [x] Revision-checked live updates, `pauseAfter` gates, and atomic update/resume.
+- [x] Derive Git workspaces, including read-only workspaces, from predecessor
+  checkpoints instead of reading the live caller checkout.
+- [x] Separate isolated `merge` from source-checkout `integrate`; require explicit
+  integration and preserve reusable source checkpoints until cleanup.
+- [x] Optional invocation failures by default and captured `requireSuccess`
+  fail-fast policy, with writes and cleanup drained before returning.
+- [x] Submission-local prompt templates and execution-specific Pi reminders,
+  result retrieval, live graph controls, and topology display.
+- [x] Document the breaking changes and provide an offline loop/update example.
+
+See [execution control](docs/execution-control.md) for the contract and
+[0.1 → 0.2 migration](docs/compatibility.md#migrating-from-01-to-02) before upgrading.
+
+Each release follows the [release checklist](docs/releasing.md): validate the
+supported Node/platform matrix and isolated package installation, credit PR
+authors and first-time contributors, then verify both registry versions,
+provenance, and clean installation before marking publication complete.
 
 ## Next candidates
 
+- Exercise real edit → review → refine → integrate tasks and use the results to
+  improve migration examples, update-conflict diagnostics, and recovery guidance.
+- Refresh scheduler measurements for 0.2 before optimizing data structures.
+  Include execution history, updates, and loops; measure Git workspace costs
+  separately. The [checked-in benchmark](docs/benchmark.md) is a 0.1 baseline.
+- Explore explicit retention and cleanup policies for execution history, Git
+  recovery refs, and Pi temporary result files without breaking result retrieval,
+  reusable checkpoints, or usage accounting.
+- Discuss definition, prompt/output, and event-log size limits and host-wide
+  admission controls. `maxExecutions` already bounds materialized instances;
+  it does not bound all memory, disk, or concurrent jobs.
+- Define token/spend budget semantics that account for missing usage, failed
+  requests, and in-flight calls before adding enforcement.
+- Improve provider diagnostics and add adapters backed by real compatibility
+  tests. Keep SDK dependencies outside the core.
 - Migrate both packages from TypeScript 5 to 7 in one dedicated change. Explicitly
   load Node types, review compiler default changes, and validate public declaration
   consumption, package builds, and the complete Node/platform matrix. Keep Node
   declarations on 22.x while Node 22 remains the minimum supported runtime.
-- Measure real applications before changing scheduler data structures.
-- Discuss optional per-run node/output limits and host-wide admission controls.
-- Define budget semantics that account for missing usage and in-flight calls
-  before adding token or spend enforcement.
-- Improve provider diagnostics and add adapters backed by real compatibility
-  tests. Keep SDK dependencies outside the core.
-- Explore explicit job retention and temporary-result cleanup policies for long
-  Pi sessions without breaking result retrieval or usage accounting.
 
-## Scope
+## Scope after 0.2
+
+The original fixed-DAG-only boundary no longer applies. Bounded loops, live
+graph changes, parent-controlled pause/resume, and execution history are part of
+the core. The following boundaries still apply:
+
+| Supported | Outside the current scope |
+| --- | --- |
+| Declared loops with finite limits; sequential and independent loops | Arbitrary cycles and nested/overlapping loops |
+| In-memory updates and pause/resume before finalization | Durable workflow recovery, restart/resume, or reopening finalized jobs |
+| Git checkpoints and backup refs for inspecting/recovering files | Persistence of scheduler state or host sessions |
+| Per-execution workspace capabilities and isolated model context | A security sandbox, arbitrary code nodes, or recursive worker delegation |
+| Submission-local templates and host tools/panels | A saved template registry or graphical workflow editor |
+
+New proposals should explain why the behavior belongs in the core rather than
+the caller or host adapter. Useful contributions include minimal reproductions,
+platform testing, real-world examples, and documentation fixes. See
+[CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).
