+Version 0.8.0 additionally refreshes authorized organization and team policy and
+knowledge-base references at installation and SessionStart for all seven hosts
+above. Each installation gets a private `halofy-context-*` skill folder containing
+`SKILL.md` and canonical content references. The content is extracted directives
+and ingested knowledge, not original uploaded files or live backend rows. Host
+skill discovery makes the references available; copying files is not evidence
+that a host loaded or obeyed them. The runtime does not insert the whole knowledge
+base into a prompt or report policy compliance acknowledgements.
+
+The signed context route pages the entire eligible set, enforces source access,
+current source/file/base state, namespace ancestors, validity/TTL and export
+residency. General agent bulk export stays disabled. Updates replace only the
+installation's managed context; withdrawal or failed refresh removes it from
+host discovery. Offline local copies already read by a host cannot be remotely
+erased. Setup reports context availability separately from the connection
+heartbeat. Older backends report context unavailable until the matching backend
+release is deployed. Reconnect to install this runtime on existing connections.
+Reconnection retires the previous active installation's owned context. Older
+project hooks consult the active host marker and cannot restore that retired copy.
