 # Changelog
 
+## 0.85.0 (2026-11-13)
+
+Wave 7 of the backlog sweep of 2026-11-12, part one. The contract pin stays at `93e7db16` (`v0.1.0+2026-11-08.1`).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **A number subclass is written as the number it stores** (FAA-196 (22)): `js_string`, and so `json_stringify`,
+  `key_of` and `fabric_http.json_bytes`, wrote an `int` or `float` subclass through its own `repr`, so
+  `json_bytes({'costUsd': numpy.float64(0.25)})` put `np.float64(0.25)` on the wire; it now writes `0.25`.
+- **The core `mandate_covers` reads a call as the board path does** (FAA-196 (21)): the five members the contract reads,
+  each once as `call[name]`, so a caller's `__getitem__` override or `defaultdict` default answers on both paths alike,
+  never the dict's storage on one of them.
+- **`approval_step` reads a `(str, Enum)` or `str`-subclass key as its exact `str`** (FAA-196 (30)): such a key waited
+  at the start (`outside-mandate: action`) under a mandate that covered the same step's answer.
+- **Node's `JobStore.requestInput` takes plain objects only** (FAA-196 (29)): a request or a requests container that is
+  a `Date`, a boxed `String`, a class instance or one whose `method` is inherited is refused with `InteropError`, as
+  Python refuses what is no dict; before, it was stored as something other than what was checked.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `operator_mandate` / `operatorMandate` say that a relayed mandate takes the relay's expiry as `expires_at` /
+  `expiresAt` (DEC-0126 OA-3), since a day after a relayed `at` may already have passed (FAA-196 (14)); the default is
+  unchanged.
+- `check_dashboard_link.py` says why it keeps its own secret rule rather than importing `fabric_secrets`: it runs alone
+  in a dashboard's checkout, and it is broader on purpose (FAA-187 (4)).
+- The answering-agents reference's intro, its Contents list (every section, in order, each anchor its heading's) and
+  the Checklist's first line are pinned by `test_answering_agents_prose` (FAA-182 (6)).
+- `docs/evidence/measurements/2026-11-13-faa-256-owner-check-windows.md` records the Node owner check on Windows: a
+  median of about 0.31 s per new loopback connection on each side (FAA-256), and that Fabric's hub keeps idle
+  connections for Node's default 5 s, above the kit client's 2 s.
+
+## 0.84.1 (2026-11-13)
+
+0.84.0 was tagged and not published: its release run failed one Node 18 test on the hosted floor runner.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **The board mandate's linear-time test reads bodies large enough to time** (FAA-135): at 64 KiB a read lasted under a
+  millisecond of CPU time, and one garbage collection made the 4x ratio read as 10x on Node 18; it now compares 256 KiB
+  with 1 MiB, where linear is still about 4 and quadratic about 16, and repeats each read until 50 ms of CPU time
+  (Windows counts it in 15.6 ms ticks, and one short read measured 0), in both twins' tests. No shipped code changes.
+
+## 0.84.0 (2026-11-13)
+
+Wave 6 of the backlog sweep of 2026-11-12. The contract pin stays at `93e7db16` (`v0.1.0+2026-11-08.1`).
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Every service kit module carries the package's licence as an SPDX line** (FAA-192 item 15, the operator's decision
+  of 2026-11-13): `AGPL-3.0-only OR LicenseRef-PassionCode-Commercial`, right after a shebang or as the first line, so
+  every copy `fabric_kit.py install` makes keeps it, an agent whose own files are all rights reserved included; the
+  kit's JSON schemas cannot carry a comment. `kit.json`'s digests change for every module. The dashboard kit moves to
+  1.1.9 for the same line in its three copied files.
+- **creating-fabric-agents names where an agent reads the private cloud Fabric-server template's repository, never the
+  repository** (FAA-192 item 1, the operator's decision of 2026-11-13): the instance's settings or the estate's agent
+  map.
+- **`board.slot.returned` means one thing** (FAA-325): the reference service's take-back says `board.slot.taken_back`
+  (the slot still away), and the kit says `board.slot.returned` once the slot is held again, after a move back and now
+  also once an enroll or replace lands after the operator's take-back (once per take-back in the same process, both
+  twins); a take-back of a slot still held marks nothing.
+- The supervisors' well-known reader uses the kit's one loopback rule (`fabric_socket_proof.loopback_host` /
+  `loopbackHost`): `127.1`, `2130706433`, `0x7f.1` and names under `.localhost` go on the checked connection (FAA-326).
+- `fabric_peer_owner` no longer adds the kit folder to the host's `sys.path` (FAA-327): it asks the `fabric_socket_proof`
+  beside it, the host's imported module when that is the same file (one calibration in a process), else that file by
+  its path; a copy vendored alone keeps the table's answer, and every kit install that brings `fabric_peer_owner` still
+  brings `fabric_socket_proof`. `PEER_OWNER_VERSION` is `1.3.1+kit.8`.
+- The supervisors' well-known reader refuses unread a loopback address the kit's rule does not take, with a zone
+  (`[::1%lo0]`) or IPv4-mapped (`[::ffff:127.0.0.1]`), where `urlopen` or `fetch` would reach the listener without the
+  owner check (0.84.0 seam reading).
+- `test/validate.py` reads the private-terms list with the functions `admit.py` ships (`terms_file`, `terms_pattern`,
+  `term_lines`, `listed_files`), pinned to one case table; `admit.py`'s file listing no longer fails when `git` cannot
+  run (FAA-328).
+
+### Upgrading
+
+- A dashboard or feed that reads `board.slot.returned` as the operator's take-back request reads
+  `board.slot.taken_back` now (FAA-325).
+
 ## 0.83.1 (2026-11-13)
