 # Changelog
 
+## 0.38.0 - 2026-10-20
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Quieter session start** (FAA-59, the operator's audit of 2026-10-20). Measured on the operator's Mac (26 service
+  descriptors, `fabric` registered at user scope): with Fabric running the SessionStart context fell from 1,243
+  characters at every start, compact and resume to 893 at startup and `/clear` only; with Fabric down, from 678 in
+  every repository to nothing in one that does not use Fabric and one 217-character line in one that does.
+  - `fabric_session.py hook session-start` no longer adds the machine's Fabric-service count: the host's own
+    instructions say how to read Fabric services. `services_line` and `SERVICES_NOTE` are gone.
+  - Fabric down: one line, `skip fabric_whoami and the project board for now`, start Fabric through the lifecycle
+    broker only if the task needs it, and only in a project that uses Fabric (`project_uses_fabric`): `fabric`
+    registered at local or project scope, a `fabric-agent.json`, `fabric-contract.lock.json` or `fabric.package.json`
+    from the folder up to its checkout's root, or a service descriptor whose `source.repository` is the checkout's
+    origin. Before, every repository was told to start Fabric while the `fabric` MCP server said to call
+    `fabric_whoami` first.
+  - Both SessionStart hooks run on `startup|clear`, never on compact or resume; the session-start script also ignores
+    `source: compact|resume` for every host.
+  - `dashboard_kit.py notice` speaks only in a repository that owns a service (a descriptor names it as
+    `source.repository`), names only that repository's services, and offers the upgrade as one the agent may make
+    itself; it no longer says "tell the operator". `references/dashboard-kit.md` and its scenario eval say the same.
+
+## 0.37.1 - 2026-10-20
+
+### Added
+
+- **The rest of contract DEC-0084 in both kits** (FAA-57), in `fabric_ceremonies.py` / `fabric-ceremonies.mjs`: the
+  nearby pairing (`pairing_commit`, `check_reveal`, `comparison_code`, `checked_comparison_code`, `estate_fingerprint`,
+  `rendezvous_verdict`, `join_listed`, `own_keys_decision`, `machine_of_keys`) held to the contract's `pairing.json`
+  (116 cases in eight groups), and the hub's single use of a token (`redeem_enroll_token`, with the `enroll-join/1`
+  proof as ES256 r and s low S or Ed25519) held to `enroll-token.json` group `redeem` and a high-S variant. 26 planted
+  defects across both kits, all caught. `fabric-estate.mjs` exports `validDeviceKey`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`building-fabric-services` → remote placement:** which `installedBy` form an agent installer writes (the string
+  form, or `{by: "person", role: "operator", tool}` when a person asked it), and that a TypeScript app must name its
+  `.well-known` route folder in `tsconfig` `include`, which skips dot folders. Both reported by an agent that built a
+  remote service in a Next.js app.
