 Release history for the DaVinci Resolve MCP Server. The latest release is summarized in the root README; older entries live here to keep the README focused.
 
+## What's New in v2.147.0 — the round-trip QC loop learns markers
+
+### Added
+
+- **`editorial.verify_roundtrip` is marker-aware**: timeline markers compare
+  through the loop (min-anchored frames within tolerance, names when both
+  sides carry them). A re-export with NO markers while the turnover has them
+  raises the `markersNotInExport` honesty flag without failing the pass — a
+  missing exporter capability is not a conform drift.
+
+### Measured (new Resolve bug, filed in api-limitations)
+
+- **`EXPORT_OTIO` drops timeline markers wholesale**: two markers readable
+  through the marker API, zero in the exported .otio — while Resolve's own
+  OTIO *importer* reads Marker objects fine. Marker-fidelity checks must go
+  through the marker API, never an OTIO re-export.
+
+## What's New in v2.146.0 — bins, and the folder registry law
+
+### Added
+
+- **`assemble_project` `timelines[].folder`** — place reels in named Master
+  bins (entries sharing a name share the bin; media stays in Master).
+  Live-proven: a Reels bin holding both timeline clips, both timelines
+  materialized, and a binned reel rendering its exact content.
+
+### Measured (the folder registry law)
+
+- **The parent folder's FieldsBlob is the subfolder registry.** Media and
+  timeline children are discovered by scan; subfolders are NOT — an
+  unregistered bin directory imports as nothing and silently takes its
+  clips' timelines with it. The registry's inner format is byte-verified
+  against the template harvest (a keyed child-id dict in a protobuf wrapper,
+  zstd-framed). Natively created Resolve projects carry an EMPTY folder blob
+  when binless — the assembly templates now match that convention
+  (render-verified as a no-op).
+
 ## What's New in v2.145.2 — launcher metadata before dependencies
 
 ### Fixed

 - **Behavior:** Item-level markers (clip locators) are not serialized into the exported .drt at all. They live in the project database as Sm2TiItemLockableBlob rows (same wire codec as timeline markers, BlobOwner = the item's DbId — located by byte search in a live Project.db), and readback via TimelineItem.GetMarkers is fine, but the export omits the blobs even after SaveProject — measured on Studio 19.1.3.7. Asymmetrically, ImportTimelineFromFile ACCEPTS an authored Sm2TiItemLockableBlob and the markers read back perfectly.
 - **Workaround / current handling:** Do not rely on .drt archives to carry clip markers. To deliver item markers in a .drt, author them offline (drt.assemble cuts[].markers writes the accepted blob); to preserve markers from a live timeline, read them via the marker API and re-author.

+- **Object:** `Timeline`
+- **Signature:** `(filePath, EXPORT_OTIO) -> bool`
+- **Behavior:** Timeline markers present and readable through the marker API do not appear in the exported .otio at all — the OTIO Marker schema exists and Resolve's importer reads it, but the exporter writes none (measured on Studio 19.1.3.7: two markers read back at frames 12/72; the export carried zero). Any marker-fidelity QC built on an OTIO re-export silently sees an unmarked timeline.
+- **Workaround / current handling:** Do not use EXPORT_OTIO to carry or verify markers. editorial.verify_roundtrip reports this case as `markersNotInExport` (honesty flag, not a failure); read markers through the marker API for fidelity checks, and author them offline via drt.assemble spec.markers when a .drt must carry them.
