+## 0.1.9 - 2026-05-22
+
+- Emergency Stripe Checkout payment-link hotfix.
+- Restored full Stripe Checkout URL preservation, including the `#...`
+  fragment required by Stripe's browser checkout app.
+- Kept `checkout_handoff_url` as the preferred short human payment link, but
+  made stale-server fallback safe by no longer fragment-stripping
+  `checkout_url`, `checkout_compact_url`, or `next.fallback_checkout_url`.
+- Do not use `image-skill@0.1.8` for live Stripe payments.
+
 ## 0.1.8 - 2026-05-22
 
 - Hardened Stripe Checkout handoff responses for mobile terminals and chat.

If no handoff URL is available, present checkout_compact_url in a code block; it strips any long Stripe # fragment while preserving the server-visible Checkout URL. Treat checkout_url as a fragment-stripped compatibility fallback. This does not grant credits; verified Stripe webhook fulfillment grants paid credits exactly once.
+- POST https://api.image-skill.com/v1/credit-purchases/stripe-checkout-sessions creates a Stripe Checkout Session for a stripe_checkout quote. Request JSON: quote_id, idempotency_key. Response includes state: action_required, payment_attempt_id, checkout_session_id, checkout_handoff_url, checkout_compact_url, checkout_url, accepted_payment_method: stripe_checkout, and next.human_action: open_checkout_url. Present checkout_handoff_url to humans because it is short and redirects to Stripe. If no handoff URL is available, present the full checkout_url in a code block. Do not remove the Stripe # fragment; Checkout needs it in the browser. This does not grant credits; verified Stripe webhook fulfillment grants paid credits exactly once.
 - GET https://api.image-skill.com/v1/credit-purchases/status returns durable payment state for Authorization: Bearer TOKEN. Query with exactly one of quote_id, payment_attempt_id, checkout_session_id, or receipt_id. Response includes state, quote, payment_attempt, receipt, credit_event, provider_event, limits, and next.
 - POST https://api.image-skill.com/v1/credit-purchases confirms a fake/test quote for Authorization: Bearer TOKEN. Request JSON: quote_id, idempotency_key. Response includes receipt_id, credit_event_id, credits_granted, accepted_payment_method: fake, balance_after, and live_money:false. This grants bounded payment-backed credits without moving live money.
 - GET https://api.image-skill.com/v1/models returns the public model registry. GET https://api.image-skill.com/v1/models/MODEL_ID returns one model's capability-preserving schema.

 Credits:
-One Image Skill credit is $0.01. Use image-skill credits methods --json to inspect payment rail availability and whether a browser/human action is required. Use image-skill credits packs list --json to inspect recommended Stripe Checkout packs. Use image-skill credits quote --pack PACK_ID --payment-method stripe_checkout --json for the default live-money top-up path. Use image-skill credits quote --credits CREDITS --json for exact bounded custom top-ups when the required budget is already known. The default payment_method is fake. Use image-skill credits buy --provider stripe --json to create a hosted Stripe Checkout Session for a stripe_checkout quote; this returns checkout_handoff_url, checkout_compact_url, and fragment-stripped checkout_url and does not grant credits. Present checkout_handoff_url to humans, especially in mobile terminals, SSH, or chat. If checkout_handoff_url is absent, present checkout_compact_url in a code block instead of asking a human to copy a full raw Stripe URL. Use image-skill credits status --payment-attempt-id PAYMENT_ATTEMPT_ID --json after buy and after checkout completion to read state, receipt, credit_event, limits, and retry guidance. Use image-skill credits fake-purchase --json only to exercise the quote, receipt, credit-ledger, and activity-audit contract before live settlement rails are enabled. Create/edit debit model-priced credits after provider success; inspect models show and operation cost.credit_pricing for credits_required and pricing_confidence. Do not silently downgrade to the cheapest model to avoid payment when the user asked for quality or is willing to pay; quote the needed credits and use the payment handoff. Credits buy and fake-purchase require explicit --idempotency-key. Quote idempotency keys are scoped to the hosted agent identity and exact quote terms; use per-run/per-step quote keys and inspect error.recovery.suggested_command on CREDIT_QUOTE_CONFLICT. Never send payment credentials to Image Skill; Stripe collects payment details on Stripe-hosted pages. Public request fields are credits, pack_id, payment_method, quote_id, status reference IDs, and idempotency_key.
