 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.9.0] - 2026-09-04
+
+### Added
+
+- Added the immutable `0.8.0-rc.2` selector from specification tag
+	`v0.8.0-rc.2`, including its manifest-verified runtime, schema, and frozen
+	fixture corpus.
+- Exported the RC.2 MCP extension catalogue metadata and maturity classifier.
+
+### Changed
+
+- RC.2 preserves structurally valid pre-standard server extension maps and
+	reports `extensions-not-supported-by-version` as a warning while retaining
+	strict client extension requirements and independent reserved-identifier
+	diagnostics. This is a compatible validator relaxation; RC.1 and earlier
+	selectors are unchanged.
+
+## [0.8.0] - 2026-09-03
+
+### Added
+
+- Added RC.1-only `resolveMcpDescriptionComponentReferences` to the default,
+	browser, and standalone entries, returning the existing resolved clone,
+	diagnostics, and substitution count plus deterministic terminal-target
+	provenance.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Recorded the maintainer-approved additive provenance correction to the RC.1
+	snapshot implementation. Its schema, conformance results, diagnostics, and
+	frozen fixtures remain unchanged.

 ## Support metadata
 
-The package exports frozen `supportedSpecifications`, `supportedProtocolVersions`, and `specificationProvenance` values. Provenance records include the snapshot tag, recorded schema URI, and embedded schema SHA-256 digest. Public validation dispatches through a registry keyed by exact specification selectors. The current repository selector set is `0.8.0-draft.1`, `0.8.0-draft.2`, `0.8.0-draft.3`, `0.8.0-draft.4`, and `0.8.0-rc.1`; the protocol-version export is the deduplicated union supported by those snapshots.
+The package exports frozen `supportedSpecifications`, `supportedProtocolVersions`, and `specificationProvenance` values. Provenance records include the snapshot tag, recorded schema URI, and embedded schema SHA-256 digest. Public validation dispatches through a registry keyed by exact specification selectors. The current repository selector set is `0.8.0-draft.1`, `0.8.0-draft.2`, `0.8.0-draft.3`, `0.8.0-draft.4`, `0.8.0-rc.1`, and `0.8.0-rc.2`; the protocol-version export is the deduplicated union supported by those snapshots.
+
+RC.2 also exports the frozen `mcpExtensionCatalogue` and
+`mcpExtensionMaturity` classifier. The catalogue pins its authoritative source,
+effective date, and official or experimental identifier assignments. Catalogue
+recognition establishes authority and maturity only; it does not validate
+extension-specific settings.
 
 npm package SemVer tracks implementation releases independently from specification snapshot identity. Adding a later snapshot is additive: it must use a sibling implementation and selector rather than changing an existing snapshot's schema, semantics, metadata, fixtures, or results.
 
+The RC.1 component resolver has one maintainer-approved additive tooling
+correction: successful substitutions also report authored and terminal target
+paths. The correction does not change the RC.1 schema, validation results,
+diagnostics, or fixtures and is recorded in the integrity manifest.
+
 The runtime bundles its schema, performs no network fetches for external schema references, and imports no Node.js built-ins. Unresolved external Tool-schema references produce incomplete-validation warnings and are preserved. All three ESM entry points support Node.js 20 or later and browser bundlers.
