 # Changelog
 
+## 0.5.2
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Move the one-time setup ask onto a channel the model actually receives. 0.5.1 put it in the MCP handshake `instructions`, which turns out to reach nobody on Claude Code — asked directly, a live agent there answered "NO INSTRUCTIONS VISIBLE", because that host does not pass server instructions to the model. Tool results do arrive (that is how the block attribution and the activation wall get through), so the ask now rides the first payment decision instead: once per install, only while no email is on record, and explicitly telling the agent to drop it for good if the operator would rather not.
+
+## 0.5.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Ask for the operator's email at setup, once. An MCP server is a headless subprocess — stdio is the protocol, so it can never prompt a human directly. What it can do is ask the agent to ask: on a first run with no email on record, the handshake instructions now tell the agent to request the operator's email at the start of its next reply and register it. The request disappears from the handshake the moment an email is on record, and if the operator declines the agent is told to drop it permanently. The firewall works either way.
