 # Changelog
 
+## 1.7.0 - 2026-10-25
+
++ Simplify onboarding across the README, setup, role profiles and five runtime guides. Show a real dated Opening Bell capture, put the worked ticket beside its example, and document each runtime's actual roles, rules and hook support. Add release-watching, Discussions and contribution routes with community guidelines.
++ Recheck the current official Python SDK 0.24.0 and TypeScript SDK 0.33.3. Pin reviewed installations in a persistent Python virtual environment and local TypeScript project. Correct native ESM Decimal imports, account fee modifiers, account-mode capacity, history pagination and request weights.
++ Fix close-position IOC examples to preserve approved price bounds with Decimal input and directional rounding. Require the correct account mapping and unexpired named-agent approval in the readiness example. Offline regressions exercise both paths without signing or sending.
++ Describe stressed stop costs as assumptions and clarify that the daily loss stop pauses new risk rather than capping losses on existing positions. Numeric ceilings and ticket controls are unchanged.
++ Refresh the public fork review: 43 listed forks, 42 accessible, 51 branches. Record inaccessible content explicitly. Release automation contributed by forks is already integrated; broker ports and simulated strategy products remain outside this desk.
++ Publish and independently inspect the refreshed native Grok Bot template. Retain its publishing Bot so future releases can update the share.
++ Include the release-pin helper and its regression suite, contributed through the fork network and hardened in upstream review. Sync release manifests, bootstrap and skill hashes together.
+
+
++ Add `scripts/stop_cost.py`, a zero-key check of what a stop really costs. It sizes one trade on the drawn stop and on the desk's stressed stop (`desk-risk-limits` section 2.2) and prints what a triggered stop would cost each way. Stop slippage is the largest of a 10 bps floor, the current spread and the live book's impact for the drawn-stop size; fees are charged at the taker rate on both legs, as the desk does. A book read that does not hold the size is reported as a floor with the budget unproven. It reproduces ticket `HG-20260816-01`, reads only public `/info`, and shares the Opening Bell's `--schema`, `--json` and error contract, adding `unpriceable_stop` for a stop the live book cannot price. HIP-3 markets need an explicit `--taker-fee`. Documented in `docs/STOP_COST.md`.
++ Share coin and DEX validation (`cli_contract.market_selection`) and the metadata read (`opening_bell.read_market`) between the Opening Bell and the stop-cost check; each script keeps its own user agent.
++ Add an install page for each tool outside Grok Bot (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI and Grok Build) with the install commands, what loads and a keyless first run.
++ Lead the README with "Grok Bot for Hyperliquid", a row of supported tools, a keyless first run and an illustration of the worked ticket. Answer "Does HyperGrok have a token?" in the FAQ: it has none and will not launch one. Ask forks that change the approval model to use a name of their own.
+
 ## 1.6.1 - 2026-10-13
 
-Tagged and published to npm. Adds Gemini CLI and Codex install paths; no skill, role or rule content changed beyond the bootstrap's release pins. The public Grok Bot template still carries 1.5.0 and is being refreshed to this release; `template/grok-bot.json` stays `ready-to-publish` until the new share is verified.
+Tagged and published to npm. Adds Gemini CLI and Codex install paths; no skill, role or rule content changed beyond the bootstrap's release pins. The public Grok Bot template was republished for this release at https://x.ai/bot/3Fjt0kR65RoGjj5JNZJWp; its stored bootstrap body was read back against the tag. 1.6.0 shipped without a template refresh.
 
 + Add a Gemini CLI extension manifest, `gemini-extension.json`, with a short `GEMINI.md` context file. Gemini CLI loads the seventeen skills; its subagent schema rejects the extra frontmatter in `agents/`, so `GEMINI.md` names the roles, says they run as labelled passes and repeats the desk rule's approval paragraph verbatim. The format follows the official extension reference and has no native installation proof yet.
 + Add a Codex repository marketplace, `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`, which Codex reads before the Claude-compatible index. Its entry pins this repository at the release tag, like the Grok index, with the install policy and category Codex requires. Codex CLI 0.160.0 installed 1.6.0 through it and listed all seventeen skills.

 2. Bump `version` in `package.json` and every manifest that declares one to the new version, and `plugins[].source.ref` in `.grok-plugin/marketplace.json` and `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` to the matching tag. `check_manifests.py` fails if they disagree.
 3. Bump `metadata.version` in the frontmatter of each skill whose body actually changed. Skills version independently; leave the untouched ones alone.
 4. Update the `--branch` pin in `SETUP.md` section 1 to the new tag, and every other release tag the instruction files name, including the `grok plugin install` command’s `@vX.Y.Z` ref in README, SETUP, FAQ and ARCHITECTURE. Keep the Grok marketplace `source.ref` from step 2 aligned with that pin. `check_manifests.py` fails if any of them disagree with the version from step 2; only `CHANGELOG.md` and this file may name older tags.

Version-changing writes refuse ambiguous prose tags and backticked versions before any mutation. Reconcile those claims manually using actual release evidence; never turn a dated publication or verification into a claim about an unreleased version. The existing manifest checker remains authoritative. After manual reconciliation, run without `--dry-run` to apply safe pins and run `bash scripts/check.sh`. Bare prose versions are listed for review, never rewritten. Steps 1 and 3 stay manual. Every mode refuses an existing effective target tag, including an explicit same-version argument. Missing or broken Git in a checkout fails closed; unpacked packages without Git metadata remain supported. Use a trusted, quiescent checkout: the helper executes its local check script and rejects symlinks that leave the checkout, linked or hardlinked files it reads or writes, and escaping hash paths before writing; it is not a sandbox for untrusted code or concurrent filesystem changes.
