+- working-with-fabric: a run Fabric started on a board request whose first `com.enroll` is refused `not_authorized`
+  takes no slot, asks for no access and does no work: when `com.get` reads the request queued and `com.status` shows its
+  capability's slot `absent` at generation 0 (a slot a service ever held takes the request when it rejoins), it answers it once with
+  `com.reply` (`replyTo` the request) declining it until Fabric ships CO-506 and asking for a resend then, closes the workflow `done` once
+  `com.get` reads it answered, and writes the retro; in any other state the error rule holds (FAA-219). On Fabric 0.3.16
+  a session has no route to that grant, and work without a slot has no fence. Fabric chose this in board thread
+  `1add3c03` (option (b), 2026-11-05), the responder's run says the same, and after Fabric's CO-506 the grant comes at
+  `com.enroll` itself. Fabric keeps its dispatcher switch off on the operator's machine until this ships or CO-506 does. A declined
+  request is settled: it no longer waits for the operator (no second run), an unread decline shows on the requester's
+  Project in «На проверке» as an answer nobody read, and its workflow closes `done` with the decline in its notes;
+  `references/project-board.md` tells the requester what to do with it (record the wait on CO-506, resend once then).
+  A declined request also leaves Fabric's home list of requests no agent answers, and its workflow counts among the
+  `done` ones; only its notes say it was declined.
+- The exit contract's other open steps (FAA-215): after `com.effect_begin` a run at its limit completes `failed_known`
+  with `observed: true` (Fabric refuses a complete after an effect began without it, `observation_required`); the
+  workflow closes only once the board took the complete, or `com.get` reads a replied request answered (a refused
+  complete is the error rule); the error
+  rule ends with the retro; the retro names `insights/`. `references/on-demand-session.md` says the same, names
+  `observed: true` for every complete after `com.effect_begin`, and has a run on an error say its reason in a
+  `com.progress` note before it completes the request.
+- The contract keeps its rules within Hermes' own 4000-character cap on a plugin's prompt section
+  (`MAX_SYSTEM_PROMPT_SECTION_CHARS`, Hermes v0.22.2), 3996 at its longest: the arguments a tool's schema already names
+  (`com.claim`'s, the closing write's `owner` and `idempotencyKey`) are left to the tool and the reference, and several
+  sentences are shorter.
+
+## 0.67.0 (2026-11-05)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- working-with-fabric: a run Fabric started on a board request whose work outlasts it completes the request
+  `failed_known` with the state it observed once it called `com.effect_begin` (FAA-210; the same choice as a responder's
+  run, board thread `1add3c03`). Before, the exit contract and `references/on-demand-session.md` step 4 left such a request
+  for the next run, but after `com.effect_begin` it is `in_progress`, which a next run could only settle as
+  `outcome_unknown` with `com.reconcile`. A request still accepted, with no effect begun, is still left for the next
+  run. The contract says "if it called `com.effect_begin`" and leaves "no run starts that close to it" to the reference to stay under Hermes' 4000 characters
+  (3998 at its longest).
+- The session hooks read their input as UTF-8 with a byte order mark dropped, and read up to 4 MiB of bytes: since
+  0.64.0 they counted 1 MiB of bytes, so a prompt of about 600,000 Cyrillic characters was read as nothing where 0.63.0
+  read it, and a payload starting with a BOM was read as nothing on every hook (FAA-210). More than 4 MiB is still
+  read as nothing.
+- The dashboard-kit notice reads its input as UTF-8 bytes too, and more than 64 KiB as nothing, so a repository under a folder named in Cyrillic gets
+  its line on Windows before Python 3.15 (FAA-210).
+- The retro line after a release of finished work and the session-start preamble say where insight/1 lines go: `insights/`,
+  as Observatory named it for its reader (OBS-331, board thread `f7758225`), in the project's data folder when it has
+  one or the repository is public (the folder its AGENTS.md names, else `<name>-data/` beside the main checkout), else
+  in the repository, never inside a public repository;
+  `references/session-hooks.md`, `references/on-demand-session.md` step 7 and the service guidance
+  (creating-fabric-agents practices, adapting-projects-to-fabric) say the same; without Project Observatory only the
+  lessons go to an agent's own retrospective file.
+- `references/on-demand-session.md` step 3 says what a run does with an `in_progress` request an earlier run left.
+- `hooks.json`'s description, AGENTS.md's hook list, README.md, the skill and `references/session-hooks.md` name every exception to "silent in a session Fabric launched":
+  the exit contract and the prompt hook's verdict on it in a session started on a board request, and the retro line;
+  the dashboard-kit notice speaks there too, and is silent only in a session started on a board request.
