 # Changelog
 
+## 5.64.0 — 2026-08-27
+
+### BREAKING
+- **design/380 batch 1 — device-lane placement identity**: `ExecutionEnvFactoryContext` grows a
+  REQUIRED `placementRootSessionId` (the run TREE's fixed point, minted once as
+  `placementRoot ?? rootSessionId ?? sessionId`; an empty resolved value is refused loudly as
+  `config.placement_root_invalid` before the factory is ever called). Deployment code that
+  CONSTRUCTS its own factory context gains a compile-time break — factory *implementors* are purely
+  additive. The fixed point threads through cascade rungs, verification legs and every spawn family
+  (subagent, workflow), so a descendant's fresh session id can no longer read as a new placement;
+  durable-resume carriage is the next batch's seat (`O1③`) and its current fallback is pinned in the
+  tree so landing it must flip the pin consciously.
+
+### Added
+- `WorkspaceHandle.deviceId` — explicit, minter-stated identity of the target a workspace lives on
+  (rides the checkpoint's all-string handle whitelist unchanged).
+- `outcome_unknown` joins `ExecutionErrorCode`, `FileErrorCode` and `RemoteExecutionErrorCode`, and
+  `target_unavailable` joins `ExecutionErrorCode`: an op COMMITTED to a remote target whose outcome
+  is unknowable must never be auto-retried (it is deliberately NOT in
+  `RETRYABLE_REMOTE_ERROR_CODES`), while a never-started commit refusal is retry-safe by contract.
+  `precondition_failed` joins `FileErrorCode` for the guarded write below. **Downstream exhaustive
+  switches over these unions will red — re-pin per the new members.**
+- `FileSystem.writeFileGuarded?` (+ `WriteExpectation` / `WriteReceipt`, both type-only exports):
+  optional atomic verify-and-write with a receipt of the real on-disk object, carrying
+  `writeFileExclusive`'s degradation law verbatim (a backend without the primitive leaves it
+  `undefined` rather than emulating it). New deployment knob `requireGuardedWrite` (default off,
+  byte-identical): armed, a covered write on an env lacking the capability is a typed refusal
+  instead of a silent fallback.
+- `UsageWindow.maxTokens` becomes optional (#480): a window may govern by `maxCostUsd` alone. A
+  window declaring NEITHER ceiling refuses loudly, the exhaustion arithmetic reads declared axes
+  only, and a `maxCostUsd` whose micro-USD conversion overflows is refused at the door instead of
+  being admitted and never binding (**named narrowing**: a dual window declaring such a ceiling
+  previously ran with its money arm silently dead).
+
+### Fixed
+- **#477 — the `before_agent_start` replacement prompt is run-scoped**: the between-turn rebuild
+  now carries it, so a run's prompt is byte-stable across its three legal change points (run start /
+  compaction-boundary epoch adoption / clear) instead of silently reverting to the base prompt from
+  turn 2 (which also broke prefix-cache stability). Deployments with no handler — or whose handler
+  returns no `systemPrompt` — are byte-identical.
+- **#482 / #486 — read-only command judgment, both directions**: the allowlist grows to CC's safe
+  command set (with per-verb availability guards), a classify-only superset admits `find`/`sed`/`cd`
+  behind CC's own guard grammars, and compound judgment now THREADS the base a `cd` actually moves —
+  every segment's containment *and* deny resolve against the base bash will have, and a poll-loop
+  body containing a `cd` is judged over its worst-case iterated shift. Two escapes are closed (an
+  iterated `cd ..` loop climbing out of the read roots; a `cd` eating the first segment of a
+  multi-segment deny pattern). **This is a judgment fix, not a narrowing**: legitimately-configured
+  full-read deployments keep zero-ask on the same commands, pinned by positive controls carrying the
+  same weight as the escape pins.
+- **#473** the resume verb snapshots its config once at the door (a mutated bag can no longer make
+  the identity gate and the resumed leg disagree); **#474** the prompt-too-long recovery lane adopts
+  the rebuilt prompt and honours the turn-scoped abort; **#470/#475** a workflow run that overran
+  its token ceiling discloses it on the list projection as well as the full record; **#468**
+  `SubagentSteerHandle.steer` gains the `inputId` pass-through its workflow twin already had.
+
+
+## 5.63.0 — 2026-08-27
+
+### BREAKING
+- **design/374 slice 3 — the context-clearing machine default flips to the CC form and the guard
+  fallback chain re-orders**: default `microCompact.machine` → `"cc"` (keep 5, ≥20k gate, one deep
+  clear, CC marker bytes), `clearOnRejection` (MC-R) → **on**, and the pre-send guard chain now runs
+  arm A (blocking machine re-run, only under machine `"off"` — a new legal knob value) → arm B
+  (in-turn forced compaction adopted mid-request by the provider request, subsequent hooks and the
+  active turn state alike, riding a typed `ContextResult` adoption member) → arm C (`trimToBudget`
+  demoted from the ordinary second line to the disaster-only last resort; sole `context.trim`
+  emitter), with the irreducible-core loud terminal unchanged behind it. `machine: "legacy"` is a
+  complete byte-identical escape hatch (ratchet-registered; the PURE pre-374 posture needs BOTH
+  keys — `{ machine: "legacy", clearOnRejection: false }` — a machine-only declaration keeps MC-R
+  on, the two knobs resolve independently). Consumer-observable narrowings:
+  `context.trim` frequency drops to the disaster residue on default configs; cleared markers change
+  bytes to CC's sentence; clears land later (≥20k) but deeper (beyond keep-5); the public
+  `clearStaleToolResults` default flips with the machine. The compaction pass gains a single
+  composed run+turn abort signal (a turn interrupt declines the pass without feeding the breaker,
+  re-checked at the commit boundary so an abort-ignoring brain cannot land a mutation), adoption
+  rebuilds carry the current system prompt across prompt-epoch changes, per-request projection
+  observations describe only the shipped view, and a dead turn stands the whole chain down.
+
+### Fixed
+- **#472 — the wake-message entrance screen moves below the resume ladder's retryable pre-CAS
+  refusals** (named narrowing): a wake refused by a full governance window no longer invokes the
+  deployment's `userPromptSubmit` hook at all (was: once per retry over byte-identical text); the
+  window verdict is re-asserted after the hook await. The per-row id-mint sibling lands with the
+  #453 checkpoint-lattice redesign.
+- **#470 — workflow terminal overshoot disclosure**: a run whose in-flight window settles past its
+  token ceiling stamps `WorkflowRun.budgetOvershoot { budgetTokens, spentTokens, unsettledTokens? }`
+  on both terminals (in-flight spend disclosed as a stated floor), narrates the fact with its cause
+  on the log lane, and a max-agents cap firing while already overshot names both axes instead of
+  advising `maxAgents` be raised. `status: "completed"` deliberately unchanged.
+
+### Added
+- **#468 — seam small parts**: `WorkflowAgentHandle.steer(content, { inputId? })` forwards the
+  caller's correlation key verbatim to `TaskStream.steer` (default arm byte-identical);
+  `memory.origin_clear_not_marked` refusals carry a `lastClearance` shadow (`OriginClearanceShadow`,
+  type-only export) answered from rows already read, honestly absent on a first refusal.
