+## [0.6.10] - 2026-06-16
+_OKF memory-format foundation and a hardened bashTool subprocess drain._
+
+### Added
+- **OKF (Open Knowledge Format) v0.1 foundation** — a standalone schema/format layer for jeo memory: YAML-frontmatter parse/serialize with extension-key round-trip, concept-ID computation, and a tolerant v0.1 conformance validator (`src/agent/memory-okf.ts`). Sprint 01 only — it does not touch the existing distill/inject pipeline yet, and adds zero native dependencies. Design notes live under `docs/okf_mem/`.
+
+### Fixed
+- **bashTool subprocess draining hardened.** A shared `drainPipe` reader plus reader-cancellation, a SIGTERM→SIGKILL kill timer, and a brief pipe-linger ensure stdout/stderr fully drain before teardown — no file-descriptor or child-process leak across the normal, timed-out, and abandoned lifecycles (the subprocess-leak probe stays at baseline).
+
+## [0.6.9] - 2026-06-16
+_Live streaming blocks size to their content and the viewport instead of a fixed rectangle._
+
+### Changed
+- **`Thinking` / tool `Output` live blocks size to their content.** The dimmed streaming trace and tool-output tail are now rendered by a single `renderLiveBlock` helper that shows only the most-recent lines, capped at ~30% of the terminal height — instead of a fixed blank-padded rectangle. A short stream no longer leaves dead "hole" rows, and a short terminal keeps the rows the heartbeat needs.
+- Dropped the rounded-icon header image from the READMEs (the hero image and title stay).
+
 ## [0.6.8] - 2026-06-16
 _OAuth loopback callback host pinned to `localhost` to match provider-registered redirect URIs._
