+**Plugin 0.58.15**
+
+Also released: `@homie-rocks/physics` 0.1.3 (README matches the code; the studio's optional peer pin follows) and `@homie-rocks/nav` 0.1.2 (package metadata), so every published version is exactly what this release packs.
+
+A check, a playtest, a deploy or the site on your computer keeps going when the app or the AI's connection that started it goes away.
+
+### Added
+
+- A shared **Venue desk** part (`parts/venue-desk`) for any venue: public `venue_info` (schema.org hours with time zone, holiday exceptions, policies, FAQ, contact), booking contact and confirmation on top of `studio_book` holds (`venue_booking_details`, `venue_booking_confirm`, `venue_booking_status`, `venue_booking_cancel`), a waitlist (`venue_waitlist_join`, `venue_waitlist_status`), and owner tools to edit the info, see the desk and offer a freed slot (`venue_info_set`, `venue_desk`, `venue_waitlist_offer`). Offers go to an outbox; Homie never sends them. Opt in by copying its one-line `tools/` files.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Long jobs (a check, a playtest, a deploy, an npm install, `preview_run`'s site, a sign-in or a Stripe webhook) run under a small supervisor of their own, with their state in `.studio/mcp/<job>.json`. They outlive the MCP server that started them, so a host that runs the server once per tool call, or quitting Claude Desktop, no longer stops them; `studio_job` reads a job an earlier server started, and a job whose process is gone is reported as failed, never as still running. The site keeps running until `preview_stop`. A finished job's files are removed a day later, when the next job starts in that studio.
+- A studio made from 0.58.20 is recognised again by `homie-studio upgrade`: the template history now knows the five AGENTS.md sections (Apps, Commands, Making games, Servers and AI seats, Selling things) as 0.58.20 shipped them, so their untouched text is upgraded instead of being kept as the studio's own. Packing the toolkit now fails if the template history is behind its template (`scripts/studio-template-history.mjs --check`).
+- The toolkit's own `npm test`, run from `packages/studio` on a fresh install, builds the workspace first and no longer depends on the working directory, so the collision, round-idle and selling-bundle tests run there as they do from the repo root.
+
+## [0.58.20] - 2026-10-26
+
+**Plugin 0.58.14**
+
+An upgrade keeps a studio's game routes when nothing has been built yet.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `homie-studio upgrade` in a fresh checkout (no `site/dist`, as on a new machine or a hosting platform's clone) no longer rewrites `wrangler.jsonc` without the studio's game routes (`/<game>`, `/<game>/*` and the static-asset exclusions). Without build output the Worker config keeps the routes the last build wrote; the next build still sets them from the games it finds.
