 ## Unreleased
 
+## v1.7.1 - 2026-09-23
+
+The v1.7.0 tag was not published: both tag workflow attempts reached the
+40-minute macOS job limit during offline verification, even though the same
+commit passed the pull-request matrix. v1.7.1 keeps the runtime and benchmark
+boundary below and raises that CI limit to 75 minutes. No additional provider
+sessions were run.
+
+### Session recovery, context, and accounting
+
+- Updated the supported Pi host to 0.86.1. Preserved the selected model and
+  thinking level while correcting SDK lifecycle, usage, and WebUI settlement.
+- Added `piagent_wait` for requested pauses inside an open session. The local
+  timer does not call the model while waiting; cancellation, session changes,
+  and replay retain explicit interrupted or pending state.
+- Bound task usage, edit/verifier timing, and context delivery to the active
+  task. Filtered unsupported context files before selection and kept scoped
+  native-read recovery when no context pack can be delivered.
+- Extended source-bound acceptance and bounded executor checks, preserving
+  rejection of verified failures and finite handoff for unsupported work.
+- Set acceptance proof to diagnostic by default. Unproved criteria remain
+  pending with an explicit no-quality-claim completion note; task contract,
+  scope, passing verification, and trace remain hard gates. Reviewed package
+  policies can select strict `enforce` mode when required.
+
+### Diagnostic benchmark closure
+
+- Separated recovered command errors from terminal failures in the controlled
+  comparison collector and added exact failed-attempt selection for diagnostics.
+- Clarified three public task contracts and verification examples, and corrected
+  reconnect grading to compare public state while allowing internal cleanup.
+- The historical 108-session run remains 49/54 Piagent PASS and 45/54 comparison
+  PASS. A separate selected rerun passed all 14 formerly failed attempts;
+  the other 94 attempts were not rerun. Inputs changed for three scenarios, so
+  these results are not combined into a new 108-session score.
+- The selected rerun used 640,121 fresh tokens and 3,010,425 including cache.
+  Fresh usage increased 23.0% across that subset. This release makes no new
+  aggregate token-saving or production-performance claim. The operator closed
+  the paid benchmark cycle; release validation does not open provider sessions.
+
+### Install and update
+
+```sh
+npm install -g --ignore-scripts @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent@0.86.1
+npm install -g --ignore-scripts @piagent/platform@1.7.1
+piagent-install --stable
+piagent-doctor
+```
+
+## v1.7.0 - not published
+
+The annotated tag exists, but its macOS tag gate timed out twice at 40 minutes.
+The publish job was skipped, and no `@piagent/platform@1.7.0` npm package or
+GitHub Release was created. Use v1.7.1 for installation.
+
+## v1.6.1 - 2026-08-26
+
+### Runtime continuity and truthful WebUI state
+
+- Kept queued same-session work under one operation identity and prevented a
+  pending durable task from emitting a completed message or a success bubble.
+  Final-looking drafts remain hidden until the task reaches a terminal state,
+  preserving user-message then assistant-response ordering without a stale
+  processing indicator.
+- Reconciled Activity from canonical tool evidence. Handled multi-target search
+  warnings finish normally, nested result envelopes are classified correctly,
+  and rejected or evidence-free helper calls remain visible as failures instead
+  of later replaying as passed.
+- Captured the latest real operator request for model-owned task startup while
+  bounding and redacting the durable copy, so attachments and workflow wrappers
+  no longer replace the user's actual intent.
+
+### Safe external source review
+
+- Detects GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket references and activates only the minimal
+  source-checkout surface needed for a review. A successful checkout grants
+  session-scoped read access to that exact canonical tree, with an eight-source
+  bound and automatic cleanup at session end.
+- Preserved protections around shared caches, sibling paths, symlink escape,
+  credentials, `.env`, `.git` and all mutation paths. Read-only inspection may
+  use bounded `read`, `grep`, `find` and `ls` flows without widening the project
+  mutation contract.
+
+### Solo-first cost and context controls
+
+- Added direct subagent preflight with a one-helper ceiling, bounded calls,
+  turns and runtime, read-only role enforcement, no automatic retry/fork/worker
+  expansion, and truthful durable helper usage. Repeated helper results are
+  compacted without changing the model or thinking level.
+- Hardened adaptive context accounting, exact verifier reuse, task-evidence
+  refresh and bounded runtime emission so token-saving decisions fail closed
+  when evidence is incomplete and cannot be relabeled as a Codex-relative cost
+  claim.
+
+### Benchmark assurance
+
+- Added provider-free runtime-conformance and Codex-relative efficiency gates,
+  bound token/cost evidence to exact workload and provider attempts, and kept
+  the historical v1.6.0 production result explicitly separate from any new
+  subscription-spend or 30–40% cost claim.
+- Preserved the 108-session production gate as an operator-authorized quota
+  step; this release ships runtime and benchmark safeguards without claiming a
+  new provider-backed result.
