+## [3.2.0] - 2026-10-08
+
+### Added
+
+- **`devflow flags` gains `bash-max-timeout-ms`** ([#418](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/418)). It sets `BASH_MAX_TIMEOUT_MS`, the ceiling on a foreground Bash command's `timeout` (600000 ms upstream), to a whole number from 600000 to 7200000, and it is unset by default. A run that cannot be split under the ceiling is reported BLOCKED with `devflow flags --set bash-max-timeout-ms=<ms>` as the remedy. The registry now holds 30 flags.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`devflow agents` carries a shipped effort, takes an `inherit` effort, and sets the memory worker** ([#420](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/420)). Nothing changes at shipped defaults: no agent ships an `effort:` line yet and every installed `model:` is as before. This is the plumbing the agent-tier tickets build on.
+  - **A shipped effort survives a reapply.** A shipped agent default is now its `model:` and its `effort:` when it has one, read from the same file. A reapply used to remove an `effort:` line from every agent whose mapping had no effort, including one that ships it.
+  - **`--effort inherit` drops an agent's effort line** so it follows the session; `--effort default` removes your override and restores the shipped effort. The EFFORT column reads `default (<shipped effort>)` when an agent ships one.
+  - **`memory` is settable in `devflow agents`** (`--set memory --model sonnet --effort medium`), listed after the agents with state `worker`. It takes Claude models and effort levels only, is not an agent, and is left out of the agent counts.
+  - **A `devflow agents` Learning mapping now decides the Learning model.** The session-start directive used to pass `model="opus"` (or the `learning.json` model) on every spawn, which overrode any mapping. It now takes the first of: a valid project `learning.json` model, the mapping (which sends no model, so the installed frontmatter decides), a valid global `learning.json` model, none. An invalid `learning.json` value falls through instead of becoming `opus`. `devflow learning --configure` says that a mapping outranks the global file.
+  - **A user's `validate` override now reaches the five Validate spawns** in `/implement` and `/resolve`, which passed `model="haiku"`. A new guard fails on any spawn in the prompt sources that names a model.
+- **Commands carry less context** ([#419](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/419)). Claude Code copies a command's arguments into the prompt at every placeholder, so each command now binds them once, in a `<command-input>` block, and names the bound text `COMMAND_INPUT` afterwards: the compiled commands went from 21 placeholders to 8, and a guard holds the count. A plan handoff now invokes `devflow:implement` with no arguments, because the plan is already in the conversation; with no input, `/implement` names the branch from the plan's title. The orchestrator charter gains a bounded-inline exception (one `git`, `gh` or script command whose output stays under about 40 lines, never a diff, log or test run) and a delegation report cap of about 1,500 tokens. `/implement`, `/code-review`, `/debug` and `/plan` stop loading companion skills their main thread never uses, and the plan and code-review plugins stop requiring the skills only those lines needed. The built-in Explore and Plan spawns in `/explore`, `/debug` and `/plan` ask for a report of at most about 1,500 tokens.
+- **Agents run builds and tests in the foreground, and the full test suite has one owner** ([#418](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/418)). The Code, Validate and Test agents ran any build that might exceed two minutes in the background and polled it with Monitor, and the dynamic-build engine and prompts repeated the procedure. A silent 250-second foreground run survives inside a Workflow sub-agent, and the platform's stall watchdog fires on model silence after a tool returns, never while a command runs, so polling only added turns. The three bodies now share one `## Running commands` block: an explicit Bash timeout, capture-then-tail in one call, no backgrounding or polling, a scoped command, and BLOCKED with duration and log path on an overrun. A parity guard holds the copies identical, and the engine and the nine dynamic-build prompt sites name the block. Each of the six gate agents carries one `**Gate ownership:**` row: Validate runs the full suite once per HEAD and no other agent does, Code runs targeted tests plus one affected-tests run, and the TDD skill defines "affected tests". `docs/reference/platform-assumptions.md` records what was measured, with the stall investigation.
+- **Every roster agent caps its final message at about 1,500 tokens** ([#418](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/418)). The 14 roster agents end their Output section with a `Report cap:` line. Longer material goes to a file whose path the message gives, and the fields a command or test parses, or an orchestrator hands to another agent, stay inline in full: Validate's `HEAD:` line and command table, Test's plan evidence and scenario table, Triage's whole ledger and the rest. Validate cuts failure output to 30 lines per failing command and then names the log. The Git agent keeps its output unchanged until its split.
+- **The memory worker runs on Sonnet 5.5 at high effort.** `background-memory-update` now spawns `claude -p --model claude-sonnet-5-5` (it was `claude-sonnet-4-6`), and the `memory` row in `devflow agents` ships `claude-sonnet-5-5` at `high` effort (it was `haiku`), so the shipped default and the model the worker runs are the same value; a test holds the two equal. Memory quality was judged worth more than the saving from Haiku. The worker does not read an `agents.memory` override or pass `--effort` yet. `devflow agents --list` widens its DEFAULT column to the longest shipped default, so a full model identifier is no longer cut.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`devflow init` no longer reports removing skills that were never installed** ([#432](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/432)). The "Removed N skill(s) no selected plugin requires" line now names only skills that were present and actually removed, and is omitted when none were.
+- **`devflow agents` no longer cuts a full model identifier it displays.** `--list` cut the CONFIGURED column at 16 characters, so a mapped `claude-sonnet-4-6` read as `claude-sonnet-4-`; the column now grows to the longest configured value, as DEFAULT does. In the interactive editor, the focused `‹ default (claude-sonnet-5-5) ›` cell on the `memory` row overflowed its column and lost its closing arrow and the unsaved mark; the cell now narrows its own arrows to fit and keeps both.
+- **The Knowledge agent is no longer told to load a skill it already has** ([#419](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/419)). It preloads `devflow:feature-knowledge` and has no Skill tool, yet the write-back step and `/research` still told it to load that skill.
+- **A re-init reports what it actually did** ([#415](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/415)). Running `devflow init` again printed `.claudeignore: created` even when nothing changed, and a run without a terminal told you to "Run interactively to auto-install" safe-delete even when it was already set up. The `.claudeignore` row now reads `created`, `already present` or `skipped`, and the safe-delete line reads installed, upgraded or already configured. The hint is gone: a run without a terminal takes the Recommended path, which installs or upgrades the safe-delete block itself.
+- **The Skim agent finds the decisions ledger from a linked worktree** ([#415](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/415)). It looked for the ledger in the directory it ran in, so in a linked worktree it reported no decisions. It now reads the main worktree's ledger, as the other agents do.
+- **Without `jq`, the hooks' JSON helpers stay silent on stderr, as they already were with it** ([#415](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/415)). On a machine without `jq`, a hook that read a missing or unparseable file printed a `json-helper error` line, or the shell's own error for a file it could not open, where the `jq` path prints nothing. The `node` fallbacks now discard that output too, and return exactly what they did before.
+- **The captured-turns files stay owner-only after a trim** ([#415](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/415)). Once a memory or learning queue, or a memory batch a failed refresh left behind, passed 200 turns, the trim to the newest 100 replaced it with a copy made under the hook's umask, so the file came back readable by every user (`0644`) while it holds conversation text. The copy is now made `0600`, the mode the queue is created with.
+- **A corrupt working-memory backup no longer stops the session-start memory hook** ([#415](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/415)). A truncated or unparseable `.devflow/memory/backup.json` ended the hook before it injected the working memory it had already built. Such a backup is now read as no snapshot, like a missing one.
+- **The working-memory backup is written atomically** ([#415](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/415)). The pre-compact hook wrote `backup.json` by truncating it and writing it again, so a session start reading it in between could meet a partial file. It now writes a complete copy beside it and renames the copy into place, owner-only (`0600`); a write that fails leaves the previous backup as it was. The copy is created only where nothing already stands, so it never writes through a symbolic link, and each backup first removes any copy a killed run left behind that is over an hour old.
+- **The hooks no longer write, or read into the session, through a symbolic link inside a project's `.devflow` folder** ([#415](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/415)). The capture and memory hooks skip, and log, any write whose file, or a folder on the way to it, is a link, so a repository cannot point captured conversation text or working memory at a file outside it. They also never read a linked file there into the session or a backup: a linked working memory, backup or decisions file is treated as missing. The learning store no longer reads a linked file either: a linked log, ledger, archive or history file is treated as missing, so nothing of it is listed, shown, backed up or copied into the project. The statusline's learning counts skip a ledger that is a link or larger than 8 MiB, as they skip a missing one. The hooks write nothing under a `.devflow` that is itself a link, and every learning operation that writes, `devflow learning --reset` included, refuses a linked `.devflow` or `.devflow/learning` folder, changing nothing. `devflow init`, the `.gitignore` hook, `devflow learning --configure` and turning learning or memory off hold to the same rule: none of them writes or deletes through a link that leads outside the project, and each says so when it skips one. The session-start hook, the only one that reaches the `.gitignore` step when memory and learning are both off, now writes those skips to its log; it used to record them only in debug mode. `devflow uninstall` holds to the rule too when it removes a legacy project-local install: it deletes and rewrites nothing through a link in the project's `.devflow` or `.claude`, removes the rest, and names each link it skipped. A root `.gitignore` linked to a file inside the project is still updated when no part of that file's path there is named `.git`, in any letter case, so a link into the project's own `.git` folder or a nested repository's is refused.
+- **The release notes name their issue section `Shipped Issues` on every provider** ([#415](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/415)). The GitHub, Jira and Linear release mechanics told the release agent to append `## Closed Issues`, while the shipped-issues input, the back-link step and every published release say Shipped Issues. All three now name the section `## Shipped Issues`.

+## [3.1.0] - 2026-10-06
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Learning entries are structured, rewritten in place, and maintained by checking them against the code** ([#413](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/413)). A decision or pitfall is now a v2 observation with fixed fields — a title, a rule, a why, a scope of file globs or `area:` tags, a provenance and optional evidence — each with a length limit, checked before anything is written: the title, rule and why may not name a ledger entry by its ID or carry an issue or file-and-line reference, and every scope glob must match a tracked file. When a lesson sharpens, its entry is rewritten in place rather than collecting amendments, and the last three prior versions are kept in `.devflow/learning/decisions-history.jsonl`. `decisions.md` and `pitfalls.md` open with a count-only TL;DR and a notice that they are generated, render a v2 entry from its fields — a v1 entry renders exactly as before until it is rewritten — and end with an Inactive table listing every inactive entry with its note. `index.md` lists the active entries, a v2 one with its scope, and the session start now names the index, so the main model can pass it to the agents it delegates to. The dynamic commands, `/release` and the Code agent now read the decisions index from the main worktree, so a linked worktree sees the same decisions.
+  - **The Learning agent works only through ops.** Its tools are Read, Bash, Glob and Grep. It reads the ledger through `list` and `show` and writes through `put-observation`, `assign-anchor`, `refresh-anchor`, `retire-anchor` and `restore-anchor`, which take any text as one JSON object on stdin and run under the one learning lock. A new entry's number skips any number a tracked file already cites. Maintenance runs on `claim-due`, which hands out a small batch — entries with an integrity problem, then v1 entries, then the ones verified longest ago — leases each for a day, and names the ref every claim is checked at: the default branch as last fetched, else `HEAD`. Each entry gets exactly one action: retired as Encoded, with a quote from the file that now holds the lesson, checked at that ref; rewritten or retired when no longer true; absorbed into its duplicate; retired as a one-off; or kept and marked verified. The fixed per-run change cap and the waiting period for new entries are gone.
+  - **The queue claim is exclusive.** `claim-queue` and `release-claim` take and release the learning queue under the learning lock with a random token, so two runs can no longer claim one batch, a takeover of a stale claim gets a new token, and a run releases only its own claim. Rotation archives an observation no entry carries once it has been idle for 30 days, whatever its status. A malformed line is moved to a `.rejected.jsonl` file beside its file instead of being dropped, and the first write to a tree that still holds v1 rows copies the log, the ledger and the archive to `*.pre-v2.jsonl`, once. The usage telemetry is removed, with its scanner and the file it wrote.
+  - **`devflow learning` reads the store the ops use.** `--status` counts the entries by type and status, the active entries still in the v1 format and the observations; `--list` prints the same listing as the agent's `list`; the new `--show <id>` prints one entry and `--restore <id>` brings an inactive one back. `--clear` now drops only the observations no entry uses — it used to empty the whole log, which left every entry without its observation — and writes nothing while the learning lock is busy. `--reset` takes the same lock: while another run holds it, it removes nothing and exits 1, and a lock a crashed run left behind no longer blocks it; in a project with no learning data it says so and creates nothing, where it used to create the learning directory first.
+  - **Decisions are stated in words** ([#412](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/pull/412)). A ledger ID is numbered per machine and the ledger is not committed, so an ID means nothing on another clone. Agents now keep ledger IDs to in-session handoffs and state each decision or pitfall in words in everything they commit or post; the existing citations were swept out of the tracked files, and a guard keeps ledger IDs out of the sources, the docs, the root prose, the knowledge bases and test commentary.
