 What changed in each release of `@wakeshift/sdk`. 0.4.0 is the first published release: to start with it, read the [README](README.md). Its notes below, and the earlier releases', are for apps that ran the preview builds.
 
+## 0.8.0 (2026-11-03)
+
+### Added
+
+- **`notifies(description)`, for tools that subscribe.** It returns your tool's description with a few sentences after it, the same in every SDK. For an app named Shipyard, with `when` "a build finishes": "This tool is how Shipyard notifies you in this conversation when a build finishes. Shipyard delivers its notifications through Wakeshift; the result may ask you to start a background listener and to offer the user a one-time install. Follow it." The app is named as the console has it (tools/list asks Wakeshift for the name once); `app` names it yourself, and with no name it says "this app". `when` is optional. Use it on the tools that call `call.subscribe` (`description: notifies("Watch a build until it finishes.", { when: "a build finishes" })`). In wakebench's realistic tier (a CI app, a user who never mentions Wakeshift), Claude Code set Wakeshift's part of a subscribing tool's result aside as something the user didn't ask for unless the tool's own description said the tool notifies through it. The Go SDK has the same as `appkit.Notifies` (`appkit.NotifyApp`, `appkit.NotifyWhen`).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Emitting before any agent connects works.** An emit at startup, or from a webhook, before any agent had connected to your MCP server failed with `404 unknown_event`: the manifest was sent only once `attach` had run, and with `createMcpHandler` that's the first request. Now, when Wakeshift answers an emit with `unknown_event`, the SDK sends your manifest (a merge, `POST /manifest/merge`, so it never removes an event another process sent, and carries only the settings you passed to `publishManifest`) and emits once more. Emits that fail together send it once, and an emit Wakeshift already knows the event for costs nothing extra. A process that only emits now sends its events this way too, when Wakeshift doesn't have them. Calling `publishManifest()` at startup still works, but you no longer need it. One consequence: a running process that still defines an event you removed with `publishManifest` adds it back on its next emit, so stop defining it first.
+- **`unknown_event` says why.** Wakeshift's message now names the event and the likely cause (no manifest sent yet), instead of "no event by that name". The code is unchanged.
+
+## 0.7.3 (2026-11-02)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **An unsubscribe without the session key says so.** When a wrapped tool's `call.unsubscribe` ends nothing because the call didn't pass the conversation's `session_key` (Claude Code's calls name no conversation, so the key is the only way Wakeshift finds it), Wakeshift's block on that call now tells the agent that nothing ended, to call again with the key it was given when it subscribed, and not to subscribe again until it has. `call.unsubscribe` still returns `false`, and the note follows your tool's own text. Before, the agent saw only your text ("This chat wasn't watching…"), subscribed again without the key, and got every message twice. The built-in `unsubscribe_events` tool's reply carries the same note.

 - **`wake.defineEvent(name, { description, args, payload, text, authorize?, personal?, deleteOnDelivery? })`** returns the event. `args` is what a subscriber picks; its required string, integer and boolean fields route occurrences, so their values are lowercase IDs (a-z 0-9 . _ -), and an optional one filters on the payload field of the same name. `authorize(subscriber, args)` decides who may subscribe. With `deleteOnDelivery: true`, Wakeshift deletes each occurrence's text and payload once it's delivered. Define every event before `attach`, which throws with none.
 - **`event.emit(args, payload, { id?, to? })`** checks the payload against its schema and sends it to everyone subscribed with those arguments. A personal event goes to its recipients, `to`: users (the `user` attach's `identify` gives for them), `{ user, subscription }` (exactly one conversation's subscription, the `id` `call.subscribe` returned) and `{ native: user }` (only that user's own MCP Events subscriptions), mixable, up to 1,000. It returns `{ matched, duplicate, unmatched, ended }`: `matched` counts the conversations woken, `unmatched` the users with nothing subscribed, `ended` the subscriptions no longer live (forget them). `id` makes retries emit once; a retry must name the same recipients.
-- **`wake.attach(server, { identify?, tools?, events? })`** attaches Wakeshift to your MCP server and returns the handle your own tools use (below). It serves `events/list`, `events/subscribe` and `events/unsubscribe` to clients that speak MCP Events, and adds `subscribe_events` (for everyone else), `unsubscribe_events` and `list_subscriptions` (for every client, so a person can always see and stop what they're subscribed to); `tools` names fewer of them (`BUILTIN_TOOLS`; `[]` for none). `identify(ctx)` says who is behind a request, as `{ user, client? }`: `user` is your app's ID for the person, from your own sign-in; without it, requests have no user, so personal events and `list_subscriptions` refuse. On a stateless server, which never sees `initialize` (`createMcpHandler`'s is one), `client` is the MCP client's name as your sign-in knows it (an OAuth registration's `client_name`, say): Wakeshift reads it to tell which program the agent runs in. A name the request carries wins. On a stateless server it also serves `wakeshift_wait` to clients that take MCP tasks (a recent Claude Code in the terminal): Wakeshift tells those conversations to call it, and it wakes them when your events arrive, with nothing to install; other clients don't see it. It also sends your app's manifest, with your events, the first time they're needed: it adds them and never removes one. A separate process that only emits never sends it.
+- **`wake.attach(server, { identify?, tools?, events? })`** attaches Wakeshift to your MCP server and returns the handle your own tools use (below). It serves `events/list`, `events/subscribe` and `events/unsubscribe` to clients that speak MCP Events, and adds `subscribe_events` (for everyone else), `unsubscribe_events` and `list_subscriptions` (for every client, so a person can always see and stop what they're subscribed to); `tools` names fewer of them (`BUILTIN_TOOLS`; `[]` for none). `identify(ctx)` says who is behind a request, as `{ user, client? }`: `user` is your app's ID for the person, from your own sign-in; without it, requests have no user, so personal events and `list_subscriptions` refuse.

On a stateless server it also serves `wakeshift_wait` to clients that take MCP tasks (a recent Claude Code in the terminal): Wakeshift tells those conversations to call it, and it wakes them when your events arrive, with nothing to install; other clients don't see it. Once it has run, the first call about events sends your app's manifest, with your events: it adds them and never removes one. An emit before `attach` has run (`createMcpHandler` runs it on the first request), or from a separate process that only emits, sends the manifest only if Wakeshift answers with `unknown_event`, then emits again (see [emitting before any agent connects](#emitting-before-any-agent-connects)).
 - **`event.end(user, id)`** ends one of a user's subscriptions by its ID, outside a tool (a player who timed out, a member removed).
 - **`event.status(args, { to? })`** counts the conversations subscribed with those arguments (a personal event: one user's), how many are connected now, and how: `{ subscriptions, connected, via: { stream, poll, hooks, webhook } }`. **`event.statusOf([{ user, subscription }, …])`** reads up to 1,000 subscriptions by ID: `[{ id, user, live, connected, via? }]`. Both only read.
 - **`event.publishUrl(args, { to? })`** returns `{ id, event, url }`, a capability URL that emits the event with those arguments (a personal event: to one user) for services that only send webhooks. A POST's JSON body is the payload, checked against the event's schema. `wake.revokePublishUrl(id)` stops it.

 ### Manifest and workspaces
 
-- `wake.publishManifest({ description?, agent?, events?, others_can_wake?, preapprove_tools? })`: what your app may do; returns it as Wakeshift keeps it. `agent`: `{ wake, post, ttl_days, wake_limits?, start_prompt? }`, each scope event `{ pattern, description }`: what the agents in the workspaces your app keeps may be woken by and post. `others_can_wake`: other people and their agents wake your users' agents through your app (messages, moves), so the consent screen says so. `preapprove_tools`: your tools, by name, that agents' programs can run without asking each time (at most 20: tools that only read, and routine ones that reach only what the agent joined); when a user connects Claude Code or Cursor CLI, Wakeshift offers to allow exactly these. It replaces the manifest, so it's the way to remove an event. You needn't call it otherwise: your MCP server, the process that calls `attach`, sends the manifest automatically the first time it needs it (a subscription, a wrapped tool's call, an emit), adding your defined events to the ones Wakeshift has and never removing one or clearing a setting, so processes that share your key keep each other's events. A process that only emits never sends it. Once you've called it, every automatic send carries the settings you passed. `events` is only for events defined elsewhere: they go before your defined ones, and listing a defined one is an error.

It replaces the manifest, so it's the way to remove an event. You needn't call it otherwise: the SDK sends the manifest automatically, adding your defined events to the ones Wakeshift has and never removing one or clearing a setting, so processes that share your key keep each other's events. Once `attach` has run, it's sent on the first call about events (a subscription, a wrapped tool's call, a status, an emit). Before then, and in a process that only emits, it's sent only when Wakeshift answers an emit with `unknown_event`, and the emit goes again. Once you've called it, every automatic send carries the settings you passed. `events` is only for events defined elsewhere: they go before your defined ones, and listing a defined one is an error.
 - Your app identifies its own users with its own sign-in, and acts for the agents in the workspaces it keeps.
 - `wake.workspace(user, name)`, `wake.addAgent(workspace, agent, displayName)`, `wake.checkAgent(workspace, agent)`: the workspace Wakeshift keeps for one of your users, an agent in it with a grant for your manifest's agent scope, and whether that grant is live. Wakeshift keeps a user's conversations in that workspace; you don't need these to subscribe them.
 - `harnessAgent(clientName)`: the agent ID a client name maps to (`"Claude Code"` is `claude-code`), as Wakeshift names it.
 
+### Emitting before any agent connects
+
+You can emit at startup, or from a webhook, before any agent has connected to your MCP server. With `createMcpHandler`, `attach` runs only when the first request comes in, so Wakeshift may not know your events yet. The SDK handles it: if Wakeshift answers an emit with `unknown_event`, it sends the manifest once, then emits again. Calling `publishManifest()` at startup also works, but you no longer need it.

 ### Errors
 
 API errors throw `WakeshiftError` with `status` and `code`: the same codes as the [HTTP API](https://wakeshift.ai/docs/http-api)'s, and `unreachable`. The SDK checks some mistakes before sending (arguments and payloads against the event's schemas, recipients, another app's event) and throws the error Wakeshift gives for the same mistake, so the code is the same whichever caught it, and the same in the Go and Python SDKs:
