+### Minor Changes
+
+- f531a26: feat(connectors): ADR-0096 — provider-bound declarative connector instances materialized at boot (#2977)
+
+  Declarative `connectors:` stack entries used to be **descriptor-only** (#2612):
+  registered as metadata but never dispatchable, the platform's one dead metadata
+  surface. An entry may now name a **`provider`** — an installed generic executor
+  (`openapi` / `mcp` / `rest`) — and the automation service **materializes** it
+  into a live, dispatchable connector at boot. AI can now wire an integration as
+  pure metadata and a flow `connector_action` calls it end-to-end.
+
+  - **Schema (`@objectstack/spec`).** `ConnectorSchema` gains `provider`,
+    `providerConfig`, and `auth` (a `credentialRef`-based instance-auth shape —
+    `ConnectorInstanceAuthSchema` — that references credentials, never inlines
+    them); `authentication` now defaults to `{ type: 'none' }` so a provider-bound
+    instance need not author it (loosening — existing connectors are unaffected).
+    `DeclarativeConnectorEntrySchema` (used by `stack.zod.ts`) rejects inline
+    secrets, orphan `providerConfig`/`auth`, and authored `actions`/`triggers` on a
+    provider-bound entry. A new `integration/connector-provider.ts` defines the
+    provider-factory contract as pure types.
+
+  - **Engine + boot (`@objectstack/service-automation`).** The engine adds a
+    connector-provider registry (`registerConnectorProvider`/`getConnectorProvider`)
+    and origin-tags registered connectors. At boot the service resolves each
+    provider-bound entry — looking up the factory, resolving `auth.credentialRef`
+    via a pluggable `CredentialResolver` (open-tier default: environment
+    variables), and registering the materialized connector. Boot **fails loudly**
+    for an unknown provider, invalid `providerConfig`, an unresolvable
+    `credentialRef`, or a name conflict with a plugin-registered connector (no
+    silent precedence).
+
+  - **Providers (`connector-rest` / `connector-openapi` / `connector-mcp`).** Each
+    plugin registers a provider factory in `init()` reusing its existing
+    generator/adapter API. Plugin options are now **optional**: with none the
+    plugin contributes only its provider factory; with instance options it also
+    registers a hand-wired connector (back-compat). `connector-openapi` adds a
+    `ConnectorOpenApiPlugin`.
+
+  Open tier: static auth (`none`/`api-key`/`basic`/`bearer`) with `credentialRef`
+  resolved from env vars. Managed vaulting, OAuth2 refresh, and per-tenant
+  connection lifecycle remain the enterprise tier (ADR-0015) — an enterprise host
+  injects a vault-backed `CredentialResolver` with no change to the materialization
+  path.
+
+- f531a26: feat(connectors): degrade + retry declarative instances whose upstream is unreachable (#3017)
+
+  ADR-0097 kept every declarative-connector materialization failure fatal at
+  boot. That is right for configuration faults (unknown provider, invalid
+  `providerConfig`, unresolvable `credentialRef`, name conflict) but wrong for
+  _operational_ ones: a `provider: 'mcp'` instance must contact its MCP server
+  (`tools/list`) to materialize, and a transient network blip aborted the whole
+  app boot.
+
+  - **spec**: a provider factory can now throw
+    `ConnectorUpstreamUnavailableError` (code `CONNECTOR_UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE`,
+    structural guard `isConnectorUpstreamUnavailable`) to mark a failure as
+    "upstream temporarily unreachable — degrade and retry" instead of fatal.
+  - **service-automation**: the reconcile degrades such an instance in both boot
+    and reload modes: it registers an action-less husk (`state: 'degraded'` +
+    `degradedReason` on the `GET /connectors` descriptor) so the instance is
+    visible instead of silently missing — or, on a changed-config
+    re-materialization, keeps the old connector serving. A `connector_action`
+    against a degraded instance fails with the reason and a "retries
+    automatically" pointer. Degraded instances retry on an exponential backoff
+    (5s → 5min, reset by config edits) and on every `metadata:reloaded`
+    reconcile; recovery swaps the husk for the live connector atomically.
+    Reconcile runs (boot / reload / retry timer) are now serialized.
+  - **connector-mcp**: the `mcp` provider classifies connect / `tools/list`
+    failures as upstream-unavailable; transport-shape validation stays a plain
+    (fatal) throw.
+
+  Configuration faults remain loud boot failures — the carve-out is only for the
+  unavailable marker.
+
+- f531a26: feat(connector-mcp)!: policy-gate declarative stdio transports — default-deny + host allowlist (#3055)
+
+  A declarative `provider: 'mcp'` entry with a stdio transport spawns a local
+  child process **from metadata** — which a runtime Studio publish can introduce.
+  Declarative stdio is now **denied by default**; hosts opt in deliberately:
+
+  ```ts
+  new ConnectorMcpPlugin({ declarativeStdio: ["my-mcp-server"] }); // command allowlist
+  new ConnectorMcpPlugin({ declarativeStdio: true }); // allow any (full trust)
+  ```
+
+  Behavior change: a declarative stdio instance that materialized before now
+  fails as a **configuration fault** (fatal at boot / skipped on reload) with an
+  actionable opt-in message, and is never classified upstream-unavailable — a
+  security rejection must not be retried into existence. `http` transports and
+  **hand-wired** connectors (plugin instance options / `createMcpConnector`) are
+  unaffected. This is the security precondition for shipping `connector-mcp` in
+  default presets (#3056); see ADR-0097 §"Declarative stdio policy" and
+  ADR-0024 §4.
