 ### Fixed
 
+## [0.1.18](https://github.com/HybridAIOne/hybridclaw/tree/v0.1.18)
+
+### Added
+
+- **Forensic audit trail**: Added append-only wire logs at `data/audit/<session>/wire.jsonl` with SHA-256 hash chaining for tamper-evident immutability.
+- **Structured audit storage**: Added normalized SQLite `audit_events` and `approvals` tables for searchable event history and denied-command reporting.
+- **Audit verification and search CLI**: Added `hybridclaw audit recent|search|approvals|verify` command suite, including hash-chain integrity verification.
+- **Instruction integrity CLI**: Added `hybridclaw audit instructions [--approve]` to verify and locally approve core instruction markdown hashes (`AGENTS.md`, `SECURITY.md`, `TRUST_MODEL.md`) via `data/audit/instruction-hashes.json`.
+- **TUI instruction approval gate**: Added TUI startup enforcement that blocks on unapproved instruction changes and prompts the user for interactive approval.
+- **Instruction approval audit events**: Added structured `approval.request` and `approval.response` events for instruction approvals (`action=instruction:approve`) so approvals/denials appear in the audit trail.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Audit command routing**: Enforced audit operations as top-level CLI commands (`hybridclaw audit ...`) and removed gateway-audit passthrough ambiguity.
+- **Policy document split**: Moved onboarding acceptance policy to `TRUST_MODEL.md` and repurposed `SECURITY.md` for technical agent/runtime security guidelines.
+- **Runtime safety prompt source**: Runtime safety guardrails now include the `SECURITY.md` document content directly in the system prompt.
+
+### Fixed
+
+## [0.1.17](https://github.com/HybridAIOne/hybridclaw/tree/v0.1.17)
+
+### Added
+
+- **Push-based delegation tool**: Added `delegate` side-effect orchestration so subagent tasks auto-announce on completion without parent polling.
+- **Delegation runtime manager**: Added queue-backed delegation execution with configurable concurrency, depth, and per-turn limits.
+- **Proactive active-hours policy**: Added configurable active-hours gating and optional off-hours queueing for proactive outbound messages.
+- **Container extension hooks**: Added runtime lifecycle hook points around model/tool execution with a built-in proactive security hook.
+- **Multi-mode delegation interface**: Added `delegate` modes for `single`, `parallel`, and `chain` (with `{previous}` step interpolation), plus per-task and per-run model overrides.
+- **Delegation result metadata**: Added structured delegated completion transcripts with per-task status, duration, attempts, model, and tool usage, alongside concise user-facing summaries.
+- **Automatic stale container rebuild detection**: Added startup fingerprint checks for container sources so `gateway`/`tui` can rebuild the runtime image automatically when stale.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Prompt hook pipeline**: Added `proactivity` hook to explicitly guide autonomous memory capture, session recall, and delegation strategy.
+- **Container resilience**: HybridAI requests now use bounded exponential retry for transient API/network failures.
+- **Gateway status output**: `status` now reports live delegation queue activity.
+- **LLM delegation guidance**: Parent system prompt now includes a full subagent delegation playbook (when to delegate, when not to, anti-patterns, context checklist, and decomposition heuristics).
+- **Subagent prompt contract**: Delegated child sessions now receive explicit role/identity constraints and a required structured final output format (`Completed`, `Files Touched`, `Key Findings`, `Issues / Limits`).
+- **Depth-aware delegation capability**: Non-leaf delegated sessions can orchestrate further delegation within max depth; leaf delegates are explicitly restricted.
+- **Container startup policy**: Container readiness now defaults to `if-stale` rebuild behavior and supports env override via `HYBRIDCLAW_CONTAINER_REBUILD=if-stale|always|never`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Delegation turn-budget accounting**: Depth-rejected delegations no longer consume per-turn delegation budget, preventing false limit exhaustion.
+
+## [0.1.16](https://github.com/HybridAIOne/hybridclaw/tree/v0.1.16)
+
+### Added
+
+- **Built-in browser toolset**: Added `browser_navigate`, `browser_snapshot`, `browser_click`, `browser_type`, `browser_press`, `browser_scroll`, `browser_back`, `browser_screenshot`, `browser_pdf`, and `browser_close` in the container runtime.
+- **Browser runtime module**: Added a dedicated browser tooling layer with per-session socket isolation and normalized JSON responses for tool calls.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Preinstalled browser stack in container image**: Container build now includes `agent-browser`, `playwright`, and preinstalled Chromium/headless-shell binaries for immediate browser tool availability.
+- **Browser runtime hardening**: Browser subprocesses now use workspace-backed runtime/cache paths and explicit Playwright browser path wiring to avoid permission/cache issues across UID modes.
+- **Docs updates**: Updated README and website docs tool catalog to include browser automation capabilities and preinstall behavior.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Browser tool startup failures**: Resolved `npm ENOENT/EACCES` and Playwright executable-missing errors observed during runtime tool execution in persistent containers.
