+- **A skill with no published release is explained by its code.** thalovant-api#495 adds a second reason the store refuses a skill: `unpublished`, when no installable release of it exists. Installing one answers 409 `skill_unavailable_unpublished` with `reason: unpublished`, before any paid-plan 402, and it got the generic 409 hint, which talks about a version already installed. It now says the skill cannot be installed because no release has been published, that no plan, scope, version or retry changes that and there is nothing to buy, that a non-admin token does not see it in `thalovant_list_marketplace_skills`, and that `thalovant_list_runtime_group_marketplace` lists it only for a group that already has it, with `unavailable_reason` and `installable` and `purchase_required` false. Any other `skill_unavailable_*` code gets the store's refusal in general terms instead of the version hint. `thalovant_list_runtime_group_marketplace`'s description names the field. Three tests drive the hub and runtime-group installs and an unknown code through the fake control plane.
+- The parity contract refreshes the evidence hashes of `src/index.ts` and `test/provisioning.test.ts`.

 - **Two refusals explained by their code.** A skill the store does not install for licensing reasons (YouTube, YouTube Music, Spotify, SoundCloud and Bandcamp; the API's 409 `skill_unavailable_licensing` with `reason: licensing`, declared with the launch data-protection change) got the generic 409 hint, which talks about a version already installed. It now says the service's terms do not allow a hosted assistant to play its content, that no plan, scope, version or retry changes that, that radio and aggregator skills install as usual, and that `thalovant_list_marketplace_skills` reports it per skill as `unavailable_reason` and `installable`. A memory create or update refused with 409 `memory_limit` (the plan's remembered items are used up; a Free plan keeps one) carried no hint at all, because the memory tools never went through the hint path; `thalovant_create_memory_item` and `thalovant_update_memory_item` now do, under a profile of their own that adds a hint for that code alone (the hub-centric scope and plan hints would misdescribe the memory routes), naming the `limit` and `upgrade_plan` fields, the delete tool that frees a slot, the update tool that changes the item that exists, and that granting a scope will not help. Two tests drive both through the fake control plane.
+- **The real-transport test gets a 90 s budget.** `test/runtime-noise.test.ts` opens eight HTTPS sessions against a local hub, each with its own Noise handshake over a polled connection, and takes about 22 s on a workstation; its 30 s budget ran out on a shared runner twice (`main`, 2026-11-03 and 2026-11-06), passing on the rerun both times. The budget is for the runner, not the calls: every call keeps its own `timeoutMs`, and no assertion changes.
 - `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `server.json`, the OCI label, the README and this file move to 0.7.1 together.

 Listing needs `hubs:inspect` (implied by `hubs:read`); the writes need `hubs:write` and a paid plan, and because scope is checked before plan a free-plan token sees `403`, never `402`. Hub-restricted tokens (a `hub_ids` allowlist) are honoured on all four routes. The server uses the published Node SDK hub-skill methods and preserves MCP cancellation checks during polling. A failed status read retains the accepted operation ID; use `thalovant_get_operation` with that ID instead of submitting the write again. No new poll starts at or after the polling deadline. That deadline does not cancel an HTTP request already in flight.
