  - **Dependency refresh, lockfile-only: `@earendil-works/*` 0.85.0→0.85.1 and `@typescript-eslint/*` 8.69→8.70.** Both are within the existing package.json ranges, so consumer installs are unaffected by the lockfile change itself — a fresh install already resolves 0.85.1 (verified by packing the tarball and installing it into a clean project: pi 0.85.1 resolves, the documented dual apache-arrow layout reproduces, `pi-research --help` boots). `PI_TESTED_MAX_VERSION` compares on major.minor only, so the patch stays inside the tested window with no warning. Deliberate holds unchanged: apache-arrow 21.1.0 (LanceDB IPC), playwright-core 1.60.0 (camoufox < 1.61), typescript < 6.1.0 (eslint peer ceiling).

"Breaks first" on the git-install channel is spelled out as "receives breaking changes first", and the model-recommendation line's stray em dash (the README was purged of them in the 1.6.9 cycle) is a colon now.

  - **`npm ci` under npm 12 rejected the lockfile an `npm update` had rewritten** (this release cycle's own dep refresh): the rewrite dropped the `node-domexception@1.0.28` alias entry backing the `@nolyfill/domexception` override while leaving a stale real `node-domexception@1.0.0` copy nested under `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent`. npm 11 (the local dev npm) accepted the tree; CI's npm 12 is stricter and failed every `npm ci --legacy-peer-deps` leg. The lockfile was regenerated with npm 12 itself, which collapses the stale nested copy so the override is the only resolution; `npm ci --legacy-peer-deps` now validates clean under both npm 11 and npm 12, and CI is green cross-OS.
