 # Changelog
 
+## 5.39.0 — 2026-08-17
+
+No BREAKING changes. Two behavioral narrowings disclosed below (write-protection default table;
+peer messages join the permission chain) plus one governance-config narrowing (malformed workflow
+baseline slots refuse at mount instead of silently mounting ungoverned).
+
+### Added
+
+- #286 (#279) — the default-on WRITE-protection table (CC 2.1.233 DANGEROUS_* parity): a Write /
+  Edit / NotebookEdit whose target lands on a named row (shell/profile rc files, VCS hook and config
+  paths, editor/tool trust files — basename, segment and segment-run row kinds; case-folded, win32
+  spellings and trailing-dot/space component aliases included) is DEMOTED TO ASK at the tool gate
+  when it would otherwise auto-allow. **Narrowing**: in 5.38.0 these writes rode a surviving allow
+  silently. The tighten demotes to ask (classifier / blanket `onAsk` / persisted rules can still
+  clear it) and never blocks reads; ONE consumer arm denies instead — an approved edit the
+  restriction chain rewrites onto a table row after the human looked is refused fail-closed, since
+  minting a fresh ask there would hand a pathological rewriter an unbounded approval treadmill.
+  Whole-table replacement seat `RunnerDeps.writeProtectedPaths`
+  (`[]` disables; a non-empty list replaces the default table; garbage rows refuse loudly, including
+  spellings the candidate fold would orphan). New exports (admin face): `WRITE_PROTECTED_DEFAULT_TABLE`,
+  `resolveWriteProtectedTable`, `compileWriteProtection` + entry/row/kind/hit/matcher types.
+- design/276 — peer messages join the permission adjudication chain: in auto mode, `SendMessage` is
+  routed through the classifier (peer-referral tighten, third member of the post-fold tighten
+  family), and the two ancestor sandbox-admission arms stop auto-allowing an inherited
+  `sandbox_local` ask on SendMessage. **Narrowing**: a peer message that previously rode an ambient
+  allow now asks; the referral ask carries no `requiresRealApproval`, so classifier / blanket
+  `onAsk` / persisted rules can clear it.
+- Mailbox pre-delete contract half ([4194] ruling (b)): enqueue against a recipient a deletion
+  cascade has already tombstoned is a CODED refusal — new exports `MAILBOX_TOMBSTONED_RECIPIENT_CODE`
+  (`"mailbox.recipient_tombstoned"`), `MailboxStoreError`, and the `mailboxTombstonedRecipientContract`
+  acceptance-kit leg (optional contract clause: only backends that can see recipient lifecycle carry
+  it; the refusal is per-recipient and enqueue-only).
+- CC settings import — the preview reports `uncovered.denyAskBuckets: { deny, ask }`: how many
+  deny/ask entries the import leaves in place across the layers it reads (only the allow bucket is
+  imported; by-design-not-imported and unnoticed no longer look identical).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Workflow governance baseline hardening (5.39 rescan window): a non-object `base` slot
+  (null / undefined / primitive / array — the shapes JSON/DB schema drift mints) is a CODED mount
+  refusal (`config.invalid_governance_baseline`) instead of silently mounting every script-spawned
+  child with ZERO inherited governance (5.38.0's raw spread accepted these spellings silently);
+  `worktreeBase: null` folds to its documented absence, any other non-object shape there refuses
+  with the same code. Face-list fields (`excludeTools`/`deferTools`/`alwaysLoadTools`) validate as
+  string arrays at mount (`config.invalid_tool_name_set`), and a null face field reads as absent in
+  BOTH slots (a null overlay field no longer silently remounts what the deployment excluded).
+- **The win32 component alias is closed on every path face, by one uniform rule.** `.bashrc.` and
+  `.bashrc ` name the SAME file as `.bashrc` on the wire (the win32 file namespace strips trailing
+  dots and spaces from every component), and `. ` / `.. ` are that namespace's spellings of `.` and
+  `..`. Pre-fix, `.aws.\credentials` missed the built-in read-deny set entirely on the purely
+  lexical legs — the bash-classify deny probe resolves operands with zero I/O by contract, so
+  nothing collapsed the alias later and the read took the auto-allow lane.
+  Every lexical path face (the write-protection matcher, the read-deny segment engine and its
+  sensitive-path consumer) now judges **two views** — components verbatim, and win32-normalized —
+  and protects if **either** hits. A lexical matcher cannot know the target platform (execution
+  envs may be remote, and win32 accepts forward-slash spellings, so separator gating carries
+  nothing), so picking one interpretation is always wrong for the other; the two errors are not
+  symmetric, since a missed protection is silent while an over-match is one extra question.
+  **The win32 view is skipped on one reported fact**: `canonicalizeTarget`'s realpath arm now returns
+  `aliasResolved`, meaning the real filesystem produced that key, so any component alias in the
+  spelling was already collapsed by the filesystem itself — a genuinely-resolved POSIX target keeps
+  its own reading and a real `.aws.` directory stays readable and writable. The arms that resolve
+  NOTHING do not report it and keep both views: UNC keys (minted with zero probes for liveness) and
+  not-yet-existing targets (whose tail is rejoined verbatim) — which is where the planting vector
+  lives. Unreported is the fail-closed default, so a caller that forgets to pass it loses precision,
+  never protection.
+  **Residual cost**: a target the filesystem has NOT resolved still over-matches — writing a
+  not-yet-created file inside a legal POSIX `.aws.` directory asks (write face) or refuses
+  (sensitive-path policy). Trailing-dot table ROWS stay legal (they match the POSIX file of exactly
+  that name; on win32 that spelling *is* the stripped name, which the ordinary row already covers).
+  **Known gap, ticketed not fixed**: the ripgrep exclusion globs do not fold, so a Grep result can
+  differ by whether ripgrep is installed (#303).
+- The self-orchestration gates ask the mount's question, not just "is the field there".
+  `workflowsCapability` tested `!== undefined` while the mount site tested truthiness, so
+  `workflowGovernanceBaseline: null` announced workflows with `run_workflow` unmounted and
+  suppressed the fail-closed operator warning; and once the mount began refusing an unusable `base`
+  slot, `{ base: null }` / `{}` announced workflows that then hard-failed every opted-in task. One
+  predicate now answers for all of them, and it reads the `base` slot — so an unusable baseline is
+  capability-false, inactive, and named in the operator warning instead of failing at run time.
+- Internal verify/teacher leg spec inheritance stops spreading a bare-string
+  `excludeTools`/`deferTools`/`alwaysLoadTools` into inert single-character names — malformed shapes
+  ride verbatim so the leg's own prepare judges them (coded doors for the three public seats are
+  tracked separately).
+
+## 5.38.0 — 2026-08-17
+
+No BREAKING changes. One behavioral narrowing (default task-scaffold trim on strong claude models)
+and three prompt-face byte changes disclosed below.
+
+### Added
+
+- design/277 — the tool-registration model gate, DEFAULT-ON: `ToolSpec.modelGate` tags
+  default-mounted scaffold entries with a gate class; when the task's resolved model matches the
+  built-in table (`task-scaffold`: claude opus >=4.8 / sonnet >=5 / fable >=5 / mythos >=5 — CC 233
+  floors, verbatim), those entries are unmounted at prepare with a `config.tool_model_gate_removed`
+  notice (deduped once per `onNotice` sink). **Narrowing**: deployments running strong claude models
+  on the default `assembleCodeTools()` bundle lose the task-list scaffold
+  (TodoWrite/TaskCreate/TaskGet/TaskUpdate/TaskList) by default. Fail-open for every other model id
+  (BYOM open set: unknown family/shape/below-floor all pass through). Restore channels: explicit
+  composition, `TaskSpec.restoreGatedTools` (rides delegation and workflow lanes, and the
+  verify/teacher internal legs), env `SEMA_TOOL_MODEL_GATE=off`, `RunnerDeps.toolModelGate: false`;
+  `excludeTools` always wins. Bad values refuse loudly (`config.tool_model_gate_invalid` /
+  `config.tool_model_gate_env_invalid`). New exports: `TOOL_MODEL_GATE_CLASSES`,
+  `ToolModelGateRule`, `isModelGatedForClass`.
+- #281 batch 1 — hook invocation identity: every hook context carries a frozen `identity` envelope
+  (per-leg mint: runId/taskId/legKind + delegation facts from the wiring manifest); structural
+  absence is limited to the documented shapes. New `RunnerDeps.onDelegationLifecycle` seat:
+  spawn/terminal events for delegated children (single delivery source, owed-carrier backstop for
+  synthesized-failure paths; frames are null-prototype and frozen — consume with `Object.hasOwn`).
+- `CheckpointState.isDelegatedChild` (additive, optional; no version movement): a delegated child's
+  park persists the trusted delegation axis, so the documented deps-only
+  `resume(token, outcome, config)` re-minted the fact correctly — the lifecycle observer emits the
+  resume leg's spawn/terminal pair, the subagent persona/project-memory/ask-refusal faces and the
+  org-admission freeze all read one effective source. Pre-key rows keep pre-key behavior (honest
+  absence, documented on the type).
+
+### Changed
+
+- design/278 — approval-across-delegation recast: the auto-mode classifier corpus carries a narrow
+  passthrough-approval exception (principle 7): a verbatim, user-attributed approval quotation in a
+  launching prompt meets the must-name bar (pair form, four judgeable elements) — CC 233 behavior
+  parity (CC's own corpus contradicts its coordinator promise; sema makes the promise real).
+  Coordinator/subagent/default prompts gain matching denial-posture and re-adjudication paragraphs.
+  **Upgrade note**: three prompt faces change bytes -> one-time provider cache reset.
+- C-R14 (#273): the built-in workflow `team-discussion` is renamed `discussion` with a one-version
+  alias (`canonicalWorkflowName` and the alias table are deprecated; removal next major). The
+  workflow card folds deployment rows registered under the retired spelling onto their slot
+  (marker honesty: no more false "same name" shadow claims).
+- Disclosure ledgers (model-gate, materialize-env, bash-timeout families) dedupe once per `onNotice`
+  SINK instead of per process — two deployments hosted in one process each hear their own facts.
+  Contract JSDoc aligned.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Workflow governed-baseline overlay synthesis no longer drops base-only entries for
+  `excludeTools`/`deferredTools`/`alwaysLoadTools` (and the restore selector) when a worktree
+  overlay synthesizes keys (pre-existing widening since the F8 window).
+- Malformed `restoreGatedTools` values ride every fold verbatim (verify/teacher legs, workflow
+  parent-face union) so the door refuses CODED (`config.tool_model_gate_invalid`) instead of a bare
+  string silently laundering into inert character names or an uncoded mount-time TypeError.
+
+### Upgrade notes
+
+- Resume replay: the built-in `discussion` workflow's member objective text changed with the rename;
+  a run parked/failed under <=5.37 and resumed via `resumeFromRunId` after upgrading diverges on the
+  first member call and re-executes every agent call (full re-spend, once).
+- Fork + durable park: a fork child parked on a durable approval and resumed the deps-only way now
+  resumes with the delegated-child persona and subagent project-memory trim (`insideFork` is
+  deliberately not persisted — documented honest absence). Re-supplying internals on resume keeps
+  the fork facet.
+
 ## 5.37.0 — 2026-08-16
 
 No BREAKING changes. Narrowings disclosed below (fail-closed forms replacing silent tolerance).
