 ## Unreleased
 
+### Embedded agent surface hidden by default (issue #326)
+
+- **The embedded Claude agent chat surface no longer renders in the operator
+  app by default.** The right-rail agent panel (running mode) and the
+  "Ask Claude" panel (onboarding) are hidden. The 2026-05-19 v0.1.6 dogfood
+  found the surface isn't robust enough for first-time operators — it is the
+  only daemon-side surface that strictly requires Claude auth, and its
+  action-authority / plugin-scope shape is still in design (#177 / #178).
+- **Feature flag: `JINN_ENABLE_EMBEDDED_AGENT`.** Set
+  `JINN_ENABLE_EMBEDDED_AGENT=1` (also accepts `true`) to re-enable the
+  surface for development. Default is off. When off, the daemon does not
+  mount the `/api/agent/ws` bridge and the SPA renders no agent panel; when
+  on, the dev-time path works end-to-end as before. (Issue #367: the SPA now
+  reads this flag through the injected `window.__JINN_FEATURES__`, the same
+  channel as the plug-in builder UI flag — no behaviour change for operators.)
+- **Claude-Code-as-a-solver-harness is unaffected.** Operators can still pick
+  Claude Code as their SolverNet harness — that path is independent of the
+  embedded chat surface and its WebSocket bridge.
+
+### Operator app
+
+- **Plug-in builder UI surfaces hidden by default (issue #327).** The `/build`
+  route and the Build top-tab no longer appear in the operator app. Hitting
+  `/build` by direct URL redirects to `/overview`. The plug-in substrate stays
+  fully live — `jinn solver-plugins publish` / `revoke`, the Ponder indexer,
+  the Discovery API endpoints, and the `client/docs/build/` tree are
+  unchanged, so direct-CLI builders following the docs are not blocked. The
+  surfaces are gated to keep the operator-app first-run UX focused; they will
+  be re-promoted once that UX is solid and plug-in indexing is end-to-end
+  populated. Set `JINN_ENABLE_PLUGIN_BUILDER_UI=1` on the daemon to re-enable
+  the full builder surface for development and design work — the daemon injects
+  the flag into the SPA via `window.__JINN_FEATURES__`.
+
+### SWE-rebench v2 admission
+
+- **Admission semantics bumped from `'2'` → `'3'`.** Operators running the
+  public/launched generator MUST re-validate before posting resumes:
+
+  ```bash
+  jinn solver-nets validate-pool swe-rebench-v2 --seed-positive --known-bad
+  ```
+
+  Expected duration: ~1-2h (one gold-patch eval per seed instance).
+  Until re-validation runs, the launched generator posts no new tasks
+  (admission required; `jinn doctor` reports the pool as stale).
+  Note: the seed pool contains 20 instances from common Python repos; typical
+  admission rates are 25-40%, so expect 5-8 scorable entries after re-validation.
+  Operators can extend the seed list via PR over time.
+- **Required admission mode is now the default for launched generators.**
+  Local/dev users running `admissionMode: 'python-floor'` keep today's
+  behaviour. `jinn doctor` reports pool freshness and prints the exact
+  re-validation command when stale.
+- **Verdict-time substrate recheck** catches drift between admission and
+  grading. Any mismatch (rowHash, imageDigest, HF outage) skips the verdict
+  rather than emitting a misclassified FAIL.
+
+## v0.1.5 — Operator App
+
+_Released 2026-05-13_
+
+# v0.1.5 — "Operator App"
+2026-05-13 · Suggested bump: patch (first npm `@latest` cut that ships the app-first operator experience)
+
+## Highlights
+
+- Release plumbing fixed so the cut can actually ship. `npm-publish.yml` now installs `contracts/` before the operator gate, the Docker/GHCR workflow accepts the new `v<semver>` tag format alongside legacy `client-v*`, and the CHANGELOG mirror writes through a PR (no more failed direct push to protected `main`).
+- SWE-rebench v2 verdict path is structurally correct end-to-end. The eval loop no longer emits verdicts on non-gradeable evals (uy6v.8), the daemon's `verdictCode` default is `Invalid`, not `Pass` (uy6v.7), evaluator-side gating now surfaces a real verdict so the reputation feedback hook fires (uy6v.10), and the `evaluation:<cid>` MetadataSet is published on verdict delivery (n93o).
+- Per-operator disks no longer fill in a couple of weeks. The SWE-rebench v2 eval-image cache is bounded by an in-process LRU (uy6v.11).
+- Operator app feedback on issue 188 addressed across overview / launcher / catalog / configuration / shell, with dashboard tests refreshed.
+- Daemon execution envelope now carries the executor model (`gbut`), giving downstream consumers the model that produced each Solution / Verdict.
+- Discovery API no longer 404s for just-launched manifests when no subgraph is configured (#170) — important for fresh launcher records.
+
+## Recovery context
+
+v0.1.4 published as a GitHub Release at `fa8da678` but the npm-publish workflow failed before publish in `release:operator-gate` because contracts dependencies were not installed in the clean Actions checkout. The fix landed as PR #187 *after* the v0.1.4 tag was created, so the v0.1.4 release commit could not retry publish. v0.1.5 cuts from current `main` (`56e84952`) which includes that fix; `@jinn-network/client@latest` becomes `0.1.5` (replacing the stale `0.1.2`). v0.1.4 remains as a Build Notes Release; no `0.1.4` npm artifact exists.

+
+## Closed this week
+
+- jinn-mono-uy6v.8 (SWE-rebench v2 eval loop — verdicts on non-gradeable evals)

+
+## Known issues
+
+- jinn-mono-uy6v.7 (Live verdict-success + JINN reward distribution): in_progress. Verdict path is now structurally correct and emitting, but live observation of JINN reward distribution to operator wallets is still gating the v1 public-testnet ship (separate from this Build Notes cut).
+- jinn-mono-uy6v.10 (Reputation-feedback hook): PR #190 makes the feedback hook fire on swe-rebench v2 verdicts; live on-chain registry update observation still pending closure.
+- jinn-mono-uy6v.11 (Eval-image cache): PR #189 bounded the cache via in-process LRU; long-running operator disk validation still pending closure.
