+## What's new in 0.6.3
+
+- **Policies**: share any output as a project-wide decision without wires (`port --policy`, MCP `boxglow_port`). Boxes in its scope wait for it before they start and are flagged "Policy: check again" when it changes after they are done.
+- **Send back** instead of wiring a loop: an evaluation that fails returns the work to the box that made it, with the reason (`boxglow sendback`, MCP `boxglow_sendback`, "↩ Send back" on the I/O tab).
+- **Wiring across levels**: drop a wire on a box in another level, connect from a list ("Connect from… / Connect to…"), or click two ports; inputs with the same name connect through the levels by themselves. A box can have several outputs, and connected ports share one name.
+- **Easier editing and a calmer canvas**: everything that can be added can be removed (Delete works on wires, boxes and picked ports), a single click selects without opening the details panel, auto save is a toggle, Top shows every level, and wires around nested boxes are straighter, cross less and stay visible when zoomed out.
+
+Details: [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md). Update the CLI, `serve` and the VS Code extension (0.5.3) together.

+### 日本語: 0.6.3 の要点
+
+- **方針**: 出力を線なしで範囲全体に配る決定にできる (`port --policy`、MCP `boxglow_port`)。範囲の箱は着手の前に方針を待ち、完了後に方針が変わると「方針: 確かめ直し」が付く。
+- **差し戻し**: 評価が通らなかったら、線で戻さずに作った箱へ理由付きで戻す (`boxglow sendback`、MCP `boxglow_sendback`、I/O タブの「↩ 差し戻す」)。
+- **階層をまたぐ結線**: 別の階層の箱へ線を落とす、一覧から選ぶ (「供給元から選ぶ… / 使う箱を足す…」)、丸を 2 回クリックする、のどれでもつながる。同じ名前の入力は階層を通って自動でつながる。箱は出力を複数持て、つながった入出力は名前が 1 つにそろう。
+- **編集しやすく、見やすく**: 足せるものはすべて消せる (Delete で線・箱・選んだ丸)、1 回のクリックは選ぶだけで詳細は開かない、自動保存の切り替え、Top で全階層を表示、入れ子の箱の周りの線がまっすぐ・交差が少なく・縮小しても見える。

 ## What's new in 0.6.2
 
 - **`setup-agent` sets up everything for Claude Code and Codex**: hooks (the plan's resume summary is injected when a session starts, resumes or is compacted; an agent about to finish with an unrecorded box is told to record first; direct edits of `boxglow.json` are blocked), MCP registration, a review subagent, and the context guard. `setup-agent --check` shows what is installed, when each hook last fired, and the one-time steps left to you (Codex: trust the project and approve the hooks in the terminal CLI).

 `vscode/` holds the extension's source. It opens `boxglow.json` as the same diagram inside the editor (custom editor "Boxglow"; right-click the file or use the editor title button / command *Boxglow: Open boxglow.json as a diagram*). The diagram follows the file when the CLI or an agent writes it, edits in the diagram are written back, and light / dark follow the VS Code theme. To build it yourself: `npm run build:vscode` (bundles the web app into `vscode/media/`), then `cd vscode && npm run package` (`.vsix`, install via *Extensions: Install from VSIX...*).

 Expanded boxes (containers) are drawn as frames: the shallower the level, the thicker the border, and the fill alternates per level so nesting is visible. Wires are thin and use colors never used for borders (thick green = the source already has a deliverable, thin amber = not yet). Selecting a wire highlights the whole signal in orange, through parent ports, from the original output to the final input.

 - Progress: set a percentage per box (slider in the inspector or `boxglow set <block> --progress 60`); parents average their children, WhiteBox counts as 100.
 - Required inputs: every input is required by default; mark one as optional (任意) in the I/O tab if the box can start without it. A New box whose required inputs are all ready shows a `Ready` chip, and `boxglow status` lists such boxes first under next candidates.
 - Category: tag a box with what kind of work it is (study, research, design, ui, build, verify, evaluate, improve, fix, docs, ops, other). It shows as a colored stripe and a short label on the box, and the drawer's Filter can narrow by it. `boxglow add "..." --category design` / `boxglow set <block> --category verify|none`.
-- Saving: the top bar always shows Saved / Unsaved / Saving and a Save button. A local file opened directly in the browser is a read-only live view; edit it through `npx boxglow serve` or the VS Code extension.
+- Saving is automatic: the top bar shows where the plan lives (browser or file) and Saved / Unsaved / Saving; plans in a file, serve or VS Code have a Save button (Ctrl+S) and an **Auto save** toggle: a file opened directly starts with auto save off (changes stay Unsaved until you save), serve and VS Code start with it on; the choice is remembered per kind of source. Retry appears when a save failed. A plan kept in the browser can be turned into a file with **Save to file** (Chrome / Edge pick a location and keep saving there; other browsers download a copy; the ⋯ menu has the same). A local file opened directly in the browser is a read-only live view; edit it through `npx boxglow serve` or the VS Code extension.
 - `boxglow validate` reports broken wiring as errors and "holes in the plan" (unconnected ports, Done boxes without deliverables) as warnings; `done` without `--artifact` warns.
 
 When a person answers a question an agent asked (`ask`), the answer stays listed as "Answered" (and editable) until an agent picks it up with `npx boxglow ack <block>` or by recording work on that box (`start`, `done`, `set`, ...). `status` lists such answers under "回答あり" so an agent never misses them.
