+## [0.14.0] - 2026-08-17
+
+A durability release, in two rounds. Round 1 stopped the two counted lifecycle events from riding a
+per-launch device key. Round 2 came out of a fresh-eyes audit of the whole package under a
+reproduction-first rule: eight findings, seven reproduced with a failing test before anything was
+changed, one reproduced and deliberately left unfixed because its fix is a design ruling.
+
+**MINOR, not patch, and only because of new API.** Every behaviour change here is a bug fix; the
+version moved because four public surfaces gained members: `EventQueue.dispose()`,
+`Analytics.dispose()`, `WireActivation.dispose()` and `WireActivationConfig.sink`. Nothing was
+removed, nothing was renamed, and no existing call signature changed.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **The event queue has a teardown, and needs one.** A queue claimed a persisted storage slot and
+  armed a backoff timer, and nothing ever gave either back — "already claimed" was read as "held by
+  a LIVE one", which is liveness nothing tracked. Two consequences, both silent. A remount (nav,
+  Fast Refresh, StrictMode's double-invoke, an `appId` that arrives async) rotated the replacement
+  onto `…#2`, so the whole launch persisted into a slot the NEXT launch never reads, and the `#N`
+  keys grew without bound. Worse, on the explicit-key path both queues address the SAME slot: the
+  dead one's retry timer woke up, drained, emptied, and `removeItem`d the live queue's persisted
+  `app.session_started`. (`unrefTimer` is a Node affordance; under Hermes that timer is fully
+  alive.) `dispose()` clears the timer, releases the claim and makes the queue inert;
+  `useLifecycleEvents`, `useAnalytics` and `useWireActivation` all call it on unmount and before
+  replacing an instance.
+
+- **A storage read that TIMED OUT is no longer read as "nothing stored".** `withTimeout` resolved
+  `undefined` at the ceiling, which is byte-identical to a genuine empty read, and two callers then
+  did something irreversible with the guess. `loadPersistedSession` minted a new session id and
+  wrote it OVER the still-valid one it had not managed to read (the server then sees a second
+  `session_started` and back-fills the first as a phantom drop, the exact inflation that module
+  exists to prevent). `reportFirstOpen` treated the unread flag as "never fired" and emitted
+  `app.first_open` again on an install that already had one. Both now carry the distinct
+  `READ_TIMED_OUT` sentinel the event queue already had, and do nothing destructive on a timeout.
+
+  The same rule now covers an UNREADABLE flag (a locked / full / permission-denied adapter): that
+  fails on every launch, so emitting made `app.first_open` fire on every launch of that install,
+  counting one device as an unbounded number of installs. The kit's standing rule for an
+  unverifiable persistence answer, set in 0.13.0 and re-applied throughout this release, is to
+  decline rather than emit something that corrupts a metric. A host that wants `first_open` on a
+  device with no working storage should pass no `storage` at all, which is the documented degraded
+  mode and still fires once per process.
+
+- **`Analytics.reset()` can no longer be undone by the read that was already in flight.** The
+  construction-time user-id hydration adopted its answer under `if (saved && !boundUserId)`, and a
+  logout is the one case where an empty binding is deliberate — so a read landing after `reset()`
+  re-bound the user who had just logged out, onto every subsequent event. `reset()` now marks the
+  hydration superseded.
+
+- **The offline size cap no longer spends the funnel-denominator events first.** The buffer is
+  drop-oldest at 200, and at an app-open the oldest events in it are exactly `app.first_open` and
+  `app.session_started`. A host on the documented shared-sink wiring that went offline for a long
+  session pushed past the cap on screen views alone and evicted the open itself. Eviction now spends
+  ORDINARY events first; the cap stays a hard ceiling, so a buffer of nothing but `app.*` events
+  still evicts oldest-first rather than growing.
+
+- **`wire.track()` no longer throws the event away when the POST fails.** It is the ACTION reporter,
+  called at exactly the moments a phone is offline, and a failed POST used to be the end of that
+  event's life — so the server-side trigger keyed on that `question_key` simply never fired for that
+  user. A failed send now goes to a durable buffer: your queue if you pass the new `sink`, otherwise
+  one this instance opens on the FIRST failure and never before. `track` still resolves `false` and
+  still does not revalidate, because the caller asked whether the server has it now.
+
+  ⛔ Only a TRANSPORT failure is buffered. An event the server READ and refused (HTTP 200 carrying
+  `skipped`) is not retried: a retry is a re-decline, and it would park a poison event in a
+  persisted backlog that fails on every drain and every launch. `reportClientEventsOutcome` is the
+  internal seam that tells the two apart.
+
+- **The unread-backlog guard is armed at construction, not 1500ms later.** It was only set in the
+  timeout branch, so for the first 1500ms of every launch the queue wrote freely over a blob it had
+  not read, and a drain that emptied in that window `removeItem`d it outright. An adapter that
+  resolves a read against its current state then answers `null` and the backlog is gone. The comment
+  claiming writes were suppressed "until the read lands" is now true.
+
+- **`reportSessionStart`'s direct-POST fallback goes through `buildEventsRequest`.** It hand-built
+  its own url, headers and body, so it was the one send path of five that skipped the epoch-ms →
+  ISO8601 `ts` conversion — on the event `min_sessions` is counted from, where the failure shape is
+  HTTP 200 with `{written: 0, skipped: N}` and no client-visible error. Harmless today (that event
+  carries no `ts`), latent tomorrow. The "single choke point" claim in `reportClientEvent.ts` is now
+  held to the code by a test rather than by prose.
+
+### Known, reproduced, NOT fixed
+
+- **The review/questionnaire gates count PROCESSES, while an app-open is a 30-minute foreground.**
+  `currentOpenId()` is pinned for the life of the JS process. On iOS an app is suspended, not
+  killed, so a user opening the app daily for a week produces seven `app.session_started` events
+  (the SERVER's `min_sessions` advances to 7) while the on-device `wire_review_<id>_sessions` stays
+  at 1 forever, and a LOCAL `minSessions: 2` rule can never be met on a phone that is never
+  force-quit. It fails in the safe direction (a prompt that never shows), which is why it is not
+  being rushed.
+
+  Reproduced in `src/reviews/sessionCountAcrossOpens.test.ts`, marked `todo`, with the smallest
+  coherent fix written out next to it. It is deferred because that fix requires re-declaring the
+  `processOpenId` global slot LIVE and rewriting the `globalSlotDiscipline` canary exercise that
+  currently asserts this behaviour is correct — a canary written to guard the 2026-07-16 one-star
+  incident. Re-ruling it is a design decision, not an implementation detail.
+
+- **`loadSettledPermissions` has the same timed-out-read class**, and its caller then persists a set
+  grown from `[]`, which can shrink the stored one. Made explicit in code rather than left to an
+  accident, but not changed: the fix needs a UX ruling (on an unknown set, does a resumed flow
+  re-ask a permission or skip it?), and guessing at that is how a user gets asked twice.
+
+### Changed (docs)
+
+- Every host-facing surface stopped recommending the defect class this release fixes. The README
+  prop table, `AGENTS.md`, `llms.txt`, `INTEGRATION_PROMPT.md`, the `WireOnboardingProps.userContext`
+  docstring and the `__DEV__` missing-join-key warning all told a host with no device id of its own
+  to write `userContext={activationJoinContext(resolveAutoDeviceKey({ appId, storage }))}`. That is
+  the synchronous, durability-blind read, used as a cross-launch join key. They now say to pass a
+  working `storage` and let the kit inject the key it has confirmed persists.
+- `ai_rules/context_map.md` gained the four module rows it was missing (`src/analytics/`,
+  `src/session-analytics/`, `src/context/`, `src/device/`). The map is the file the repo's own rules
+  tell an agent to read instead of grepping `src/`, and it was silent on the directories this whole
+  release lives in.
+
+## [0.13.7] — superseded by 0.14.0, never published
+
+The round-1 device-key fixes below shipped as part of **0.14.0**. The entry is kept because it is the
+detailed record of that half of the work.
+
+The two events the server counts the funnel DENOMINATOR from stopped riding a per-launch device key.
+`app.first_open` and `app.session_started` are the only events `min_sessions` is computed from (the
+server counts distinct opens grouped by `user_context.device_key`), so a key that differs on every
+launch does not merely leave that counter empty, it caps it at 1 and inflates distinct-device counts
+at the same time. Both lifecycle hooks were doing exactly that, in two different ways.
+
+Nothing on the wire changed shape, no export was added or removed, and a host-supplied `deviceKey` is
+byte-identical to 0.13.6 on every path.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`useLifecycleEvents(...)` no longer stamps the in-memory mint when the storage read settles
+  NON-DURABLE.** It already awaited hydration before the mount fire, so a healthy store was correct.
+  A locked / full / permission-denied adapter is the case it missed: the read settles degraded, the
+  `.then` fired anyway, and the synchronous auto id went onto both counted events. Measured on
+  0.13.6: two launches over a throwing MMKV produced four distinct `wdev_*`.
+
+  The auto path now resolves through `hydrateDeviceIdentity(...)`, the provenance-carrying read, and
+  refuses a `durable: false` outcome, which is the rule `src/context/deviceId.ts` has stated for
+  these callers since 0.13.0 and `<WireOnboarding>`'s `autoJoinKey` has obeyed since then. A refusal
+  emits both events with NO auto `device_key`, the same branch a config with no `storage` already
+  took, never a silenced event. **Every fire path obeys it**, not just the mount one: the foreground
+  re-fire after a real background re-runs the same read, so a transient cold-boot storage lock gets a
+  fresh attempt on the next open instead of a verdict cached for the process lifetime.
+
+- **`useSessionStart(...)` waits for the persisted key before its mount fire.** This hook never got
+  the 0.13.3 hydration fix its sibling did, so it stamped a brand-new `wdev_*` on `app.session_started`
+  on every launch even on a perfectly HEALTHY store, while every other kit surface adopted the
+  persisted id milliseconds later. Any host wiring this path had a structurally unsatisfiable
+  `min_sessions` and no error anywhere. It now takes the same awaited, durability-checked auto path as
+  `useLifecycleEvents(...)`, on the mount fire and on the foreground re-fire.
+
+  It is not deprecated and its contract is otherwise unchanged: a host-supplied `deviceKey` and a
+  config with no `storage` both still fire synchronously, because there is nothing to read.
+
+### Unchanged
+
+- `createAnalytics(...)` / `createWireActivation(...)` keep stamping the synchronous
+  `resolveAutoDeviceKey(...)` per event, deliberately. Their documented contract is that they never
+  throw and degrade to the in-memory id, they are numerator paths rather than the counted opens, and
+  they re-read the registry per event so they adopt the persisted id as soon as it lands.
+- `hydrateAutoDeviceKey(...)` stays exported and behaves identically. No kit surface uses it any more:
+  it returns a bare string, and a string cannot say whether it survives the launch, which is the whole
+  reason `hydrateDeviceIdentity(...)` exists.
+- Docs swept for the claim this changes: the README lifecycle section, `AGENTS.md` step 8, `llms.txt`
+  and `INTEGRATION_PROMPT.md` all said "with `config.storage` it stamps the persisted auto
+  `device_key`". Presence of the prop was never the condition. It is now written as what it is: a
+  storage adapter that throws or rejects counts as no storage.

If your app owns no device id, pass a working `storage` and leave this prop alone: the kit injects its own key, and only after it has confirmed the key actually persists. ⛔ Do not hand-build that key with `activationJoinContext(resolveAutoDeviceKey({ appId, storage }))`, because `resolveAutoDeviceKey` is synchronous by contract (it hands back a fresh mint and adopts the persisted id a storage read later) and it cannot tell you whether the id survives the launch at all. Since 0.12.2, omitting it no longer empties the funnel silently: with `storage`, the kit injects its own key (see [The join key](#the-join-key-device_key-never-session_id) and `autoJoinKey` below). Second job: any other non-PII context the app already knows (signup method, referral, plan, a HASHED user id), forwarded on session metadata + client events for funnel segmentation. **No PII on THIS prop** (no raw emails/names); primitives only; the server caps size/keys. See [Device & user context](#device--user-context). ⚠️ Distinct from the analytics/activation **`WireUserContext`** object (`createAnalytics` / `useWireActivation`), which additionally accepts an opt-in raw `userEmail` — see [Rich user context & PII](#rich-user-context--pii). |
 | `autoJoinKey` | `boolean` | Opt OUT of the automatic join key. Default `true`. When this prop is left alone, `storage` is present **and actually persists** (0.13.0: a `storage` adapter that rejects or throws is treated exactly like no `storage` — the kit declines and says so, because a key it cannot persist is a different key on every launch, which corrupts `min_sessions` rather than merely leaving the join empty), and `userContext` carries no `device_key`, the kit injects its own per-install key (the same id `createAnalytics` / `createWireActivation` mint and persist), so the `activated` funnel joins with no host wiring. Pass `autoJoinKey={false}` if you genuinely want an UNLINKED onboarding session: that restores the pre-0.12.2 behavior exactly, and the dev warning fires again. It never overrides a `device_key` you passed, and it cannot inject without `storage` (see [The join key](#the-join-key-device_key-never-session_id)). |
 | `userId` | `string` | Your own OPAQUE user id, so onboarding sessions reconcile to real users later (console sessions to your user table / GA4 users). Optional and supports **late binding**: present at mount it rides the session-start metadata; if it changes mid-session (the user just registered) the kit emits an `identify` event; available only after the flow, use `identifyOnboarding(...)`. **No PII** (not an email/name/phone); trimmed and capped at 128 chars. See [User identity](#user-identity). |
 
@@ -421,6 +421,14 @@ none, and waits for that key to be read back before it fires, so the events the
 `min_sessions` from carry the id this install keeps. Without storage the id would be per-launch, which
 would make every open look like a new device, so the fallback deliberately does not engage.
 
+Since 0.14.0 that also covers a `storage` adapter that is present but cannot persist (locked, full,
+permission denied, so it throws or rejects). The read settles non-durable and the hook declines the
+key rather than stamping the in-memory one. Both events still fire, they just carry no auto
+`device_key`. That is the same verdict `autoJoinKey` reaches on `<WireOnboarding>`, for the same
+reason: a key that changes on every launch corrupts `min_sessions` and inflates distinct-device
+counts, where an absent key only leaves the join empty. A `deviceKey` you supply yourself is never
+touched by any of this.
+
 The two alternatives below are for a host that already owns an open counter. Both emit
 `app.session_started` only, so `app.first_open` stays empty forever on those paths.
