 All notable changes to `@llblab/pi-kit` are documented here.
 
+## 0.18.2 - 2026-09-22
+
+- `Telegram Operational Hotfixes`: Advances the exact Telegram pin to `0.50.1`, restoring follower registration when canonical Workspace binding deduplication changes a provisional slot and letting the busy leader permanently skip queued Guest prompts while visually clearing their inline placeholders.
+- `Lifecycle And Command Safety`: Adds one-use authorization to armed internal lifecycle actions, prevents Thread naming from Pi commands, and aligns concise autocomplete hints with Pi's argument-first style.
+- `Package Cohort`: Keeps every other bundled package at its current exact version; the package set, resource inventory, and explicit load order remain unchanged.
+
 ## 0.18.1 - 2026-09-20
 
 - `Passive State Flow Guidance`: Advances the exact State Flow pin to `0.16.3`, requiring finalization barriers only in active episodes while preventing gratuitous final-only patches during passive memory use.

 ## Unreleased
 
+## 0.50.1: Queue, lifecycle, and Workspace hotfixes
+
+- `Workspace slot recovery`: Uses the canonical binding returned by target-deduplicating Workspace commit for the live leader record and connection result, preventing a provisional recovery slot from consuming a second letter and falsely blocking follower registration at A–Z capacity.
+- `Guest queue Skip`: Lets the leader discard a waiting Guest Mode prompt directly from the queue menu while other work is active. Guest callbacks use stable queue identity, settle durable admission before removal, stop placeholder rotation, and visually clear the inline globe placeholder without starting a model turn.
+- `Internal lifecycle safety`: Binds each armed `/telegram-internal` lifecycle action to an unpredictable one-use token, so manual, mismatched, and replayed calls cannot consume or execute it.
+- `Command surface`: Uses Pi-style argument-first autocomplete hints, keeps descriptions concise and punctuation-consistent, uses `profile` consistently, describes `/telegram-internal` as a manual-use warning, and removes Workspace Thread naming from `/telegram-connect`; Thread names remain configurable from Telegram.
+
 ## 0.50.0: Internal lifecycle gateway and thinking cadence
 
 - `Internal lifecycle gateway`: Replaces the session-specific technical command with one `/telegram-internal` gateway for runtime-armed typed actions. Manual invocation performs no action and explains that the command cannot be run manually; settled `/new` replacement retains the same lifecycle and terminal-result guarantees.

-The connected Pi instance owns Telegram polling. Use `/telegram-connect <profile>` to activate a named profile, and optionally append `as=Name` to name a fresh Workspace Thread. Each profile is a parallel bot runtime with isolated polling, diagnostics, Threaded Mode state, and local bus transport; the `default` profile keeps unsuffixed runtime paths. In classic mode each profile uses a singleton lock. When Telegram private-chat Threaded Mode is available, one live instance becomes the profile's leader and later visible Pi instances register as followers. Reopening or resuming the same Pi session restores its remembered Thread at session startup; a distinct session in the same directory has its own binding and still requires explicit `/telegram-connect` when no remembered binding exists.

 After an unclean computer shutdown, `/telegram-connect` detects truncated or structurally invalid temporary ownership/routing files, quarantines only the damaged files under `tmp/telegram/recovery/`, and retries once. A journal snapshot removed by older broad temp cleanup is rebuilt when its complete segment history proves an empty result, while a revisionless snapshot is repaired from the first surviving segment's exact predecessor when the reconstructed tail validates. Otherwise the snapshot and segments are quarantined as recovery evidence, a fresh journal is published, and startup continues with an informational diagnostic instead of requiring manual JSON repair. Unsupported journal versions block recovery without rewriting or quarantining the retained files; use a compatible runtime rather than deleting journals. Saved `telegram.json` configuration and runtime diagnostics remain intact. Recovery never replaces a verifiable live owner; if safe automatic recovery cannot complete, the command gives one explicit Pi-restart instruction instead of requiring deletion of the whole `tmp/` directory.

 Menu and reaction controls share the same canonical queue state. A menu Keep can clear internal Skip without changing Priority or queue position, but Telegram's Bot API cannot remove a reaction created by the user; the visible user reaction can therefore remain until that user removes it. Once Pi has consumed or dropped a prompt, later reactions cannot retract or restore it.
 
+Guest Mode is the deliberate exception to deferred Keep/Skip semantics. A guest prompt has no source message reaction surface and may share zero-valued chat/message placeholders with other guest prompts, so queue-menu callbacks address it by immutable `queueOrder` and expose an immediate `Skip`. The leader settles its durable admission, removes it while other agent work may continue, stops placeholder animation, and replaces the inline globe placeholder with non-printing content. Bot API inline messages have no delete method, so this visual clear is the supported deletion equivalent. The guest prompt never reaches a model turn.
+
 Admission and planning validate lane contracts. Invalid lane/kind pairings fail predictably instead of being silently coerced.
 
 Prompt preparation completes downloads, inbound handlers, and binary image reads before synchronous final assembly and queue commit. Enqueue captures only intended abort-history identities before preparation; afterward it reads the current queue, folds surviving selected prompts using their current text and receipts, allocates the new turn's order, and appends without another asynchronous boundary. The handed-off head remains in place until `agent_start` consumes it, even if preparation finishes first. Concurrent arrivals, removals, and lane/reaction edits remain intact; preparation failure or stale-generation completion leaves intervening queue changes untouched.

 A durable Workspace binding is owned by the selected bot profile plus `{ cwd, sessionId? }`. `cwd` is the normalized exact full path. When present, `sessionId` is the exact non-empty bounded value returned by the public `ctx.sessionManager.getSessionId()` API.

Absence is a real identity value `{ cwd, ∅ }`, not a wildcard; malformed present values still fail closed.

 Legacy cwd-only bindings remain exact compatibility identities whose absent session component is itself a unique key. They are neither wildcard session bindings nor adoption candidates: session-aware claims never stamp, migrate, consume, or restore them, and instead allocate their own `{ cwd, sessionId }` binding subject to the same global slot and protection rules. `{ cwd, ∅ }`, `{ cwd, session-a }`, and `{ cwd, session-b }` may coexist as majestic degradation for older state and peers. The 0.46 runtime reads strict legacy records as inert independent `{ cwd, ∅ }` bindings but never migrates, adopts, or routes a session through them. Protocol v2 is session-native and intentionally incompatible with protocol-v1 0.45.x peers. Upgrade requires stopping all Telegram instances first, updating them together, and then starting them again; the first v2 process becomes leader with its own session-qualified binding.

Accepted queue/reply state stays local if ownership later moves elsewhere. A successful command queues a hidden connection-state note for delivery with the agent's next turn without triggering one; it says Telegram is connected and that connectivity alone is not user intent.
 - `/telegram-disconnect` — after destructive confirmation, stop polling and release ownership without deleting or silencing accepted local queue state. A successful command queues the corresponding hidden, non-triggering disconnected context note; cancelled or failed disconnects do not publish a false state transition. In Threaded Mode it deletes this instance's current Telegram thread; a follower waits for its active leader to confirm generation-fenced cleanup before stopping. Graceful Pi `quit` performs the same teardown without prompting, while `reload`, `new`, `resume`, and `fork` preserve same-process handoff.
