 # @jini-ai/mcp
 
+## 0.6.16
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Remove the GitHub Copilot CLI agent: its def, `createCopilotStreamHandler`/`CopilotStreamEvent`,
+  account model discovery and the `@github/copilot-sdk` optional peer, the MCP installer's `copilot`
+  slug, and its icon. A saved `copilot` agent id no longer resolves (`getAgentDef` returns `null`).
+  CopilotKit/AG-UI is unrelated and unchanged.
+
+  Drop peers no runtime entry loads: `express` from core and http-kit (type-only imports; type
+  consumers keep `@types/express`), `vue` from ui-kit, `react-dom` from vibecoding.
+
+## 0.6.15
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Export async WebCrypto `canonicalArgumentDigest` from `@jini-ai/core/records`, reusing
+  `canonicalJson` for identical plugin and host SHA-256 hex digests. Canonical JSON now
+  sorts keys recursively by Unicode code point and throws `CanonicalJsonError` for
+  non-JSON values and cycles; undefined object properties remain omitted.
+
+  MCP approval fingerprints reuse the core serializer. Existing ordinary JSON
+  fingerprints retain their bytes; non-JSON schemas now fail instead of colliding
+  with valid JSON, and astral object keys follow the shared code-point ordering.
+
