 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.15.0] - 2026-10-27
+
+The compatibility-matrix release: the support table and its evidence, the
+container and nightly legs that keep it current, two fresh-distro first-run
+fixes the run surfaced, and the interop stance in one configuration key.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **WSL-310: `scripts/bootstrap-import.sh` — a rootfs tarball becomes a
+  plugin-ready distro in one pass.** The command automates the import traps
+  the compatibility-matrix run documented: ELF-header architecture detection
+  (walking bin/ candidates, tolerant of the SIGPIPE an early-exiting dd
+  causes), `wsl --import` with an idempotent already-exists branch, the OOBE
+  wedge unstick, `/etc/wsl.conf` with `[boot] systemd` and `[user] default`
+  (an imported default-root distro makes the agent run as root), per-family
+  package-manager install including `systemd-sysv` — docker-export tarballs
+  strip `/sbin/init`, which is what broke the systemd boot chain — Linger as
+  root, and a final doctor pass. Verified on Debian 13.5 (systemd family:
+  every check green after the one mandated `wsl --shutdown`) and the Alpine
+  minirootfs (OpenRC: the non-systemd profile per WSL-201, systemd checks
+  reported as the declared degradation).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **WSL-307: the confined resident's spawn preparation is now a named
+  self-heal checklist.** WSL-305 fixed the missing workspace root; the same
+  fresh-distro class has more members (no `sh`, no `base64`, no `sha256sum` —
+  minirootfs ships almost none of this). The confined factory's `prepare` now
+  runs one `sh -c` round trip whose first failing step names itself
+  (`workspace-root`, `interpreter`, `base64`, `sha256sum`), and the failure
+  reaches the caller as `spawn checklist step '<name>' failed in <distro>`
+  instead of a bare handshake code. The root rides as `$1`, never
+  interpolated into the script body. Verified end to end on Debian with an
+  absent workspace root: the checklist creates it and the first confined
+  write lands.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **WSL-306: a directory name containing a newline lists as one exact row in
+  the picker.** The picker's distro-side listing was `ls -1ALp` line-parsed —
+  a newline in a name split into two rows or dropped out entirely. The
+  listing is now `find -L <dir> -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d -print0`
+  (NUL-separated, `-type d` filtering in the distro where `-L` resolves
+  symlinks), sorted host-side. Busybox find supports every flag — verified on
+  alpine:3, debian:stable-slim and fedora:latest with a newline-named
+  fixture, and the picker probe now carries that fixture against the real
+  composition. The LIMITATIONS entry retires.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **The doctor gains a cross-distro sessions view (WSL-309) and marks live
+  residents (WSL-313's observable half).** A new survey after the runtime
+  checks lists every running distro with its `dsh-wsl-*.scope`, the scope
+  state and the resident pids the distro's own cgroup attests — the
+  concurrent-sessions coordinate routing made possible, made visible. The
+  agent.handshake check now notes when a live resident is already running in
+  the surveyed distro (and that its fresh probe cannot read that resident's
+  last error). The scope report records resident pids alongside the stale
+  verdict. Idle countdowns and lastError stay host-side — no IPC exists, and
+  the boundary is documented in LIMITATIONS.
+
+- **The real-machine probes now run nightly on the self-hosted runner.** A
+  schedule trigger (21:30 UTC) fires only the `probes` job — every hosted job
+  skips the event — so the Tier 1 "probe suite 100%, nightly" metric collects
+  its evidence on its own instead of waiting for a manual dispatch. A
+  dedicated concurrency group folds a backlog of missed nights (runner
+  offline) into the newest run. The probes still require the harness app to
+  be closed; a night where it was open reports honestly red.
+
+- **The shell agent now runs in CI inside the non-Ubuntu containers it
+  claims to support.** `test/agent-container.mjs` drives the real
+  `wsl-agent.sh` over the v5 frames inside `docker run` for
+  `debian:stable-slim`, `alpine:3`, `fedora:latest`, `opensuse/tumbleweed`
+  and `archlinux` — seven checks each: the HELLO handshake with the
+  in-place script digest, PING, EXEC with exit code and both streams, SETENV
+  reaching later commands, and the presence of `sha256sum`/`base64` where
+  the families actually differ (busybox on Alpine, coreutils elsewhere). The
+  `agent-containers` CI job runs one container per matrix leg. 35/35 on
+  first execution; this closes the container leg of WSL-202's acceptance.

The executor holds the runtime for the session and stops the scope from the preset's disposer, which reaps the cgroup. Requires `agent: true`, systemd as PID 1, a reachable user manager and `Linger` (`loginctl enable-linger <user>`); the preflight refuses with the remedy when systemd, the user manager, `systemd-run` or `Linger` is missing (a success is cached; a failure is re-probed, so following the remedy needs no app restart). `auto` uses the scope when those prerequisites answer, and otherwise falls back to the per-command `bwrap` profile — still confined, never unconfined — reporting `sessionScope: "per-command"` in the result (`"session"` when the scope ran); a failed `auto` verdict is re-probed at most once a minute. `false` is the per-command shape.

Confined writes share the runtime, so they follow the same selection. The native backend is the default (static musl x86_64/aarch64); the shell agent is the fallback, and `native` refuses instead of falling back.
