+## [1.69.0] - 2026-05-04
+
+### Token-bloat fix: BASELINE block fires once per CC session
+
+Cuts ~12K tokens/session of duplicate context for users with >3 prompts. The `SDLC BASELINE` block in `hooks/sdlc-prompt-check.sh` (~250 tokens) was firing on every `UserPromptSubmit` — once Claude has the SDLC skill auto-invoked (covers TodoWrite/confidence/workflow phases), every subsequent re-emission is pure duplication. Now gated by a per-`session_id` sentinel under `$SDLC_WIZARD_CACHE_DIR/baseline-shown-<id>`, pruned at 7d.
+
+### Behavior
+
+- **First prompt of a CC session** → BASELINE emits as before (cold-start nudge survives).
+- **Subsequent prompts (same session_id)** → BASELINE suppressed.
+- **New CC session (different session_id)** → BASELINE re-emits.
+- **No session_id in stdin** (legacy CC, direct shell tests) → BASELINE emits every fire (back-compat preserved).
+- `SETUP NOT COMPLETE` warning + `EFFORT BUMP REQUIRED` nudge **continue to fire every prompt** — they're dynamic state warnings, not static reminders.
+
+### Files
+
+- `hooks/sdlc-prompt-check.sh` — extracts `session_id` from stdin JSON; gates the static BASELINE block via per-session sentinel; prunes >7d sentinels on emit.
+- `tests/test-baseline-fires-once.sh` (new — 8 cases covering first-fire, suppression, different-session re-emit, no-session-id back-compat, SETUP-warning persistence, EFFORT-bump persistence, cross-cache-dir isolation, byte-shrink verification).
+- `.github/workflows/ci.yml` — wires new test into `validate` job.
+- `CHANGELOG.md`, `SDLC.md`, `skills/update/SKILL.md`, `package.json`, `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` + `marketplace.json`, `CLAUDE_CODE_SDLC_WIZARD.md` (1.68.0 → 1.69.0).
+
+### Notes
+
+Discovered during ROADMAP #236 functional-bloat audit. Identified `sdlc-prompt-check.sh` as the #1 amplifier (every-prompt × 22 lines × N prompts). Audit method: measure cost × frequency, judge value — not blind delete-and-see. Per-prompt BASELINE failed cost/value once skill is loaded; conditional warnings + effort-bump detector earned their keep and stayed untouched. Other hooks (`model-effort-check`, `precompact-seam-check`, `token-spike-check`) are silent at healthy state — not bloat.

 What changed:
-- [1.68.0] roadmap hygiene — closed #97 (Anthropic Policy & Research alignment audit — NO-GO with one validating parallel: April 2026 "Automated Alignment Researchers" paper conceptually parallel to our cross-model review, our implementation predates it and mitigates noted weaknesses). Research write-up at `.reviews/research-97-anthropic-policy.md`. Also closes #243 follow-up — `.metrics/token-history.jsonl` accumulating (8 rows on maintainer machine, well over 5-record threshold). 6/6 external audits NO-GO.
-- [1.67.0] roadmap hygiene — closed #99 (AutoGPT integration audit — NO-GO; AutoGPT is an agent host like Claude Code / Codex / OpenCode, no hook primitive maps, audience is agent-builders not SWE workflow). Research write-up at `.reviews/research-99-autogpt.md`. 5/5 external-product audits NO-GO (continues #76 + #77 + #235 + #95).
-- [1.66.0] roadmap hygiene — closed #95 (Nous Research NO-GO — different layer; Nous builds models + agent frameworks, we enforce SDLC process). Rolls in PR #309 codex callout near top + issue #308 close (4/4 API entries audited).
-- [1.65.0] roadmap hygiene — closed #210 (Node 24 false-green, already shipped PR #217) + #235 (Thoughtworks AI Evals NO-GO).
+- [1.69.0] token-bloat fix — `hooks/sdlc-prompt-check.sh` BASELINE block (the ~250-token "TodoWrite FIRST / STATE CONFIDENCE / AUTO-INVOKE" reminder) now fires once per CC `session_id` instead of every prompt. Saves ~12K tokens/session for any user with >3 prompts. SETUP-not-complete + EFFORT-bump warnings still fire every prompt (dynamic state). Sentinel pruned at 7d. No-session-id stdin keeps current behavior (legacy CC + tests).
+- [1.68.0–1.65.0] roadmap hygiene — five paperwork closes: #97 Anthropic Policy NO-GO + AAR-paper validating parallel; #99 AutoGPT NO-GO; #95 Nous NO-GO; #243 token-history liveness verified; #210 Node-24 false-green; #235 Thoughtworks AI Evals NO-GO. **6/6 external-product audits NO-GO** (continues #76, #77). Research write-ups in `.reviews/research-*.md`.
 - [1.64.0] XDLC ecosystem cross-references — README, wizard doc, and ROADMAP now cross-reference all three sibling packages (`agentic-sdlc-wizard`, `codex-sdlc-wizard`, `claude-gdlc-wizard`). New "Ecosystem (Sibling Projects)" section in README. 3 new doc-consistency tests prevent drift.
 - [1.63.0] cache-cost observability closeout (#204 absorbed by #220) — `tests/test-token-spike.sh` gains explicit cache-miss regression test + negative-control test. SDLC skill + wizard doc gain "Cache-Cost Surprises" sections covering 10-20× silent cost blowups (mid-session CLAUDE.md edits, idle pruning, upstream cache bugs) and detection via `hooks/token-spike-check.sh`'s `costly_tokens` metric.
 - [1.62.0] roadmap hygiene + #211 backfill — closes paperwork-stale rows (#207, #211 historical, #215, #217, #78, #79, #80, #219). Backfilled 5 corrupted `score-history.jsonl` rows from `max_score:10` → `max_score:11` (UI scenarios with design_system criterion). Codex strategic review confirmed scope.
