-## What's New (v2.30.2 — Blocked, With a Reason)
+## What's New (v2.30.3 — Say What You Mean)
+
+> **v2.30.3 (2026-07-29):** Claude Code 2.1.218 changed `context: fork` to run **in the background by default** (`opt out with background: false`), and six Rune skills were relying on the old default without saying so — `cook`, `team`, `launch`, `rescue` (every L1 orchestrator), plus `scout` and `docs-seeker`. A background fork reports back as a task notification instead of returning in-line, which silently breaks any caller that needs the result: `cook` waiting on `scout` is exactly that shape, and it fails looking like the sub-step did nothing. All six now declare `background: false`, and `validate-skills.js` fails on any fork skill that leaves it unstated — writing that gate is what surfaced four of the six. Measured honestly: on 2.1.220 in headless mode a 12-second fork returned in-line either way, so this removes a dependency on an unstated default the vendor has announced changing, rather than fixing a reproduced break. 1,653 tests.

+### Previous (v2.30.2 — Blocked, With a Reason)
 
 > **v2.30.2 (2026-07-29):** Finishes the hook I/O sweep, plus the fault that sweep uncovered. Claude Code shows the model **only stderr** for an exit-2 block, and `pre-tool-guard` explained itself on stdout — so a blocked read surfaced as `hook error: […]: No stderr output`. The block worked; the model just never learned why, and could only guess whether to stop or route around it. New `emitBlock()` writes the reason to stderr (Claude Code) and the envelope to stdout (Codex), then exits 2 — verified end-to-end by the model quoting the reason back. Three hooks v2.30.1 missed are also fixed: `quarantine` hand-built its envelope and shipped it with `process.stdout.write` right before `process.exit(0)`, while `auto-format` and `typecheck` printed bare `console.log` with no envelope at all (unflushed on Claude Code, rejected outright by Codex). Two new repo-wide gate tests — no hook writes stdout directly, no hook reads stdin asynchronously — so a new hook cannot reintroduce either. 1,651 tests.
 
-### Previous (v2.30.1 — Hooks That Land)
+#### Earlier (v2.30.1 — Hooks That Land)
 
 > **v2.30.1 (2026-07-29):** Five hooks had been running, exiting 0, and reaching nobody — nothing logged an error, so the hook layer looked healthy while contributing nothing. Two independent faults, each fatal on its own: **`process.stdout.write` from an exit handler is not guaranteed to reach a piped stdout** (most hooks emit via `captureConsole`, which flushes on exit — the envelope was built, "written", and lost; now `fs.writeSync(1, …)`), and **a hook that collects stdin with an async listener has its stdout discarded by Claude Code** even when the write is synchronous (new `hooks/lib/hook-stdin.cjs` reads with `readFileSync(0)`; `intent-router`, `context-watch`, `metrics-collector`, `pre-tool-guard`, `quarantine` converted). Both isolated by differential test — identical hooks, one variable at a time — and confirmed by the model quoting hook-injected context back. Separately, `intent-router` never had an index to read: `skill-index.json` is emitted at build time and Claude Code doesn't compile, so all five candidate paths were missing and it exited silently on every prompt since it shipped. New `scripts/build-skill-index.js` generates it at the plugin root with a `--check` staleness gate in CI. It was also registered `"async": true`, which drops `additionalContext` outright. 1,649 tests.
