 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [5.345.107] — 2026-10-13
+- Company Outposts: `hq outposts provision --company <slug>`, `hq outposts status --company <slug>` and `hq outposts jobs register` are available (hq-cloud 6.18.66). Only company admins can run them, the price and paying company are shown before anything is created, and nothing is provisioned without `--yes`.
+- Agent processes on one box share one cached Cognito sign-in again instead of each signing in separately (hq-cloud 6.18.66 fix).
+- Add native `hq core hq-task` behind the `core-native-bucket-c` family gate, with its pinned shell rollback assets.
+
+- Remove the six bundled ontology shell fallbacks and pin their 189 shell cases as native differential fixtures.
+
+- On macOS, hq now reads your HQ sign-in from the macOS Keychain copy kept
+  by the desktop app, and uses whichever of the Keychain and
+  `~/.hq/cognito-tokens.json` is newer. The first time, hq says that macOS
+  will ask once for access; choose Always Allow. If you deny it, hq keeps
+  using the file and won't ask again; run `hq auth keychain --retry` to
+  allow it later. Other platforms still use the file only.
+- `hq lanes create --remote-control` now opens a Claude lane through Remote Control using account A for the remote session and a ready daemon pool from account B, C, or D for inference. Remote Control lanes disable `AskUserQuestion` and resume the same Claude session with `hq lanes resume`.
 ## [5.345.106] — 2026-10-12
+- Add `hq core pipeline workers` as a native TypeScript worker-table command, with a bundled shell companion controlled by the `core-native-pipeline` flag.
+
 - On Windows, `hq core` converts Git Bash paths for commands that declare path operands. Direct calls use the same path rules as the former script wrappers.
 - `hq logout` now ends your session on the HQ server as well as on this
   device, so a copied token file stops working. If the server can't be

+#
+# Each worker lane runs on its own engine and model. This script proposes that
+# table from a prd.json and, once the owner has confirmed it, turns it into the
+# launcher exports each lane starts with. It never reads an engine or model
+# default from a settings file (orchestrator.yaml, settings.json, ...): the only
+# seed is each worker's own worker.yaml, and anything that cannot be read off
+# it is left empty and flagged for the owner to answer.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   pipeline-worker-table.sh [--workers-root <dir>]... [--overlay <file>] <prd.json>
+#   pipeline-worker-table.sh [--workers-root <dir>]... [--overlay <file>] --confirmed <table.tsv> <prd.json>
+#
+# PROPOSE MODE (no --confirmed) prints tab-separated lines:
+#
+#   row   <worker> <engine> <model> <effort> <status> <stories> <note>
+#   hint  <worker> <story>  <model>
+#   unclassified <story>
+#
+#   status is `ok` or `needs-answer`. The lane set is the union of every
+#   story's worker sequence: one `row` per distinct worker that appears in any
+#   sequence (architect and qa-tester included), in first-seen order. A `hint`
+#   line is a story's model_hint, shown for the owner; a confirmed table pin wins
+#   over it (see CONFIRMED MODE).
+#
+# WORKER SEQUENCE (story -> workers, the full phase sequence in order), first
+# match wins; pipeline-conductor.sh classify reads the same three sources:
+#   1. --overlay <file> (the run's <state>/overlay.json, or the preflight plan):
+#      {id: {"worker_sequence": [...]}}, {id: [...]}, or
+#      {"ordered_stories": [{"id": .., "worker_sequence": [...]}]}.
+#   2. worker_preference — a string or an array of worker ids, used as given.
+#   3. Fallback, only when both are empty: the keyword table from
+#      .claude/skills/execute-task/SKILL.md step 3, matched case-insensitively
+#      against title + description + labels:
+#        schema_change   (database|migration|schema|prisma|sql)   -> database-dev
+#        ui_component    (component|page|form|button|react|ui)    -> frontend-dev
+#        api_development (endpoint|api|rest|graphql|route|service) -> backend-dev
+#      giving architect, the matched implementers (backend-dev also for a
+#      schema change), then qa-tester.
+#      A story matching none is printed as `unclassified`; no worker is guessed.
+#
+# UNKNOWN WORKERS: a worker with no worker.yaml under the worker roots gets an
+# empty, needs-answer row noted "no worker.yaml", and a line on stderr naming
+# the id, the roots searched and every known id. pipeline-conductor.sh classify
+# refuses such a worker before launch.
+#
+# ENGINE SEED (from worker.yaml `execution:`):
+#   model only        -> engine claude, model = execution.model
+#   codex_model only  -> engine codex,  model = execution.codex_model,
+#                        effort = `--reasoning <x>` from execution.codex_flags
+#   both set          -> ambiguous: engine and model empty, needs-answer, the
+#                        candidates listed in the note column
+#   neither / no file -> engine and model empty, needs-answer
+#   worker.yaml has no grok field, so grok is never seeded; the owner chooses it
+#   in the confirmed table.
+#
+# CONFIRMED MODE: --confirmed <file> holds one lane per line,
+#   <worker> <engine> <model> <effort>   (tabs or spaces; # comments allowed;
+#   effort may be omitted). engine must be claude, codex, or grok and model must
+#   be non-empty, or the script exits 2. Output per lane, using the pins in
+#   core/scripts/workflow-runner.mjs, plus HQ_CONDUCT_ENGINE=<engine> for
+#   every lane (a loop lane runs pipeline phase envelopes on that engine):
+#     claude      -> HQ_WORKFLOW_CLAUDE_PLAN_MODEL, HQ_WORKFLOW_CLAUDE_EXEC_MODEL,
+#                    HQ_WORKFLOW_CLAUDE_EFFORT
+#     codex|grok  -> HQ_WORKFLOW_MODEL, HQ_WORKFLOW_EFFORT
+#   The effort export is omitted when effort is empty (runner default applies).
+#   A story's model_hint never overrides the lane: the lane's table pin wins.
+#   Each hinted story on a confirmed lane gets a `# lane <w> story <id>
+#   (model_hint)` block whose exports are commented out and that says "hint
+#   ignored, table pins <model>". A bare alias (opus, sonnet, haiku, fable) is
+#   never printed as a model.
