 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [5.341.2] — 2026-10-03
+
+- Preserve the original integrations response read error instead of returning a consumed response.
+
+- The CLI no longer starts while a confirmed Desktop update is in progress after a lease I/O error.
+- hqd refreshes `hq-anywhere-runtime` every 30 seconds, fails closed when the last successful read is older than 60 seconds, and clears its in-memory stdin login when the flag turns off.
+- Hardened hqd company resolution so unreadable registries and registry links to companies missing from the configured HQ manifest fall back to personal context. Added adversarial coverage for symlinks, nested repositories, clones, path normalization, worktrees, and session bindings.
+
+## [5.341.1] — 2026-10-03
+- Match native policy frontmatter and report bytes to the bundled shell on Windows, including paths, diagnostics, and JSON newlines.
+- Keep session-journal printable paths byte-compatible with the shell on Windows.
+
 ## [5.341.0] — 2026-10-03
 - Keep-alive reconciliation polls every 15 seconds and admits due lane resumes within the same sweep.
 - Add flag-gated `hq daemon login --stdin` for machine sign-in on disposable hosts. Credentials are piped over the local daemon socket, and the resulting token stays in hqd memory until restart or token expiry. Login is deadline-bounded, and the generic argv-based `hq daemon call` command cannot submit credentials.

 root. Inside the root, the project hook routes through hqd when it is running
 and uses the direct master hook when it is stopped.
 
+## Flag revocation
+
+While hqd is running, it refreshes `hq-anywhere-runtime` every 30 seconds.
+Successful reads are never trusted for more than 60 seconds. This gives a
+healthy flag service a 30-second revocation window while limiting reads to two
+per minute per daemon; the five-second flag request timeout bounds the work
+when the service is slow. Staleness uses elapsed monotonic time, so wall-clock
+corrections cannot extend an ON decision.
+
+When a read fails, hqd keeps the last successful value only until it is 60
+seconds old. After that, it fails closed. An OFF decision refuses new daemon
+login and hosted MCP calls with `anywhere_disabled` and clears any stdin machine
+token held in memory. `auth.status` remains available and reports signed out.
+An authentication still in progress when revocation arrives fails cleanly;
+hosted MCP calls already forwarded are allowed to finish or return their normal
+request error. The daemon process itself does not terminate.
