+
+This patch keeps the existing workspace data format. It makes installation and delivery
+diagnostics clearer, records the last native binding attempt per session, and restores
+hook participation after detaching a solo session without restarting the conversation.
+It also includes the 0.4.1 Grok, reinstall-preference and workspace-warning fixes.
+
+Close participating clients and persistent ACC MCP processes, then run:
+
+```bash
+acc update
+acc version
+acc doctor
+```
+
+After publication, `acc version` should report 0.4.2. If a pin keeps an older version,
+select 0.4.2 or clear it first. A managed update refreshes installed integrations and
+skills; use the npm instructions below for unmanaged or pre-0.4 installations. Start
+clients again and complete any hook/trust review they request.
+
+Run `acc doctor` in the project after the new clients have started (or submitted a normal
+turn). Its per-session lines now explain missing launch consent, an unidentified client
+process and a failed or timed-out handshake. `nativeDelivery.sessions[].lastAttempt` in
+`acc doctor --json` provides the same closed metadata and timestamp. Existing owners may
+have no attempt record until a new hook runs; missing metadata does not prove hooks are
+disabled. A previous successful handshake and a connected MCP server do not prove that
+Claude admitted inbound Channels messages. See [delivery troubleshooting](TROUBLESHOOTING.md#i-enabled-live-delivery-but-got-fallback).
+
+Upgrading preserves delivery consent. If doctor reports native delivery off and you want
+automatic peer requests, use `acc install --adapter codex --delivery actionable` (or the
+relevant adapter); this can spend model tokens. Codex can save that consent before its
+local service/session becomes available. ACC does not start the vendor daemon, and it
+keeps durable inbox access when no verified live channel is bound.
+
+In Grok, public status supplies the session's own CLI arguments through the next tool
+hook. Grok still uses explicit inbox reads; this patch adds no external wake or guards.
+Start clients in a project directory, rather than a home directory containing ACC state.
