 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [18.2.4] - 2026-09-17
+
+### Added
+
+- Added the `judgment` module for typed questions over JSON state, including choice, yes/no, and score judgments through the `Judge` interface.
+- Added `TypeSafeJudge` support with TypeSafe System One authentication, credential rotation on unauthorized responses, and retry-aware backoff.
+- Added `TextJudge` and `chatTextBackend` for model-based judgments, with structured state rendering and safeguards that prevent embedded requests from being executed.
+- Added automatic format-correction retries to `TextJudge` when models return malformed output.
+- Added the `guardState` option to `TextBackend` to control whether safety guidance is included in prompts.
+
 ## [18.2.3] - 2026-09-17
