 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.9.8] - 2026-07-27
+_The provider model list now persists and rehydrates, so an account's live models survive across launches (gjc parity)._
+
+### Added
+- **Persistent live model catalog** (`src/ai/model-cache.ts`) — every successful discovery is written to `~/.jeo/model-catalog-cache.json` and rehydrated at the next launch, before any network call. `jeo auth login openai` persists the account's Codex list immediately.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Newly released OpenAI models were rejected at cold start** (`src/ai/model-cache.ts`, `src/commands/launch.ts`) — the OAuth Codex gate only knew the maintained static snapshot until this launch's own discovery landed, so an account that already serves `gpt-5.6-luna`/`-sol`/`-terra` could not select them for the first seconds of a session. Rehydration seeds the gate, routing, and the pickers from the account's own last-reported list.
+- **Cold-start model completion fell back to the static catalog** (`src/commands/launch.ts`) — tab completion and `modelsForProvider` now use the persisted per-provider lists until live discovery replaces them.
+
+### Verified
+- Model cache suite: 11 pass / 0 fail (round-trip, gate rehydration, api_key vs oauth scoping, offline/merge safety, corrupt-file degradation, test-write hermeticity).
+- Model/provider suite: 169 pass / 0 fail across discovery, catalog, routing, pickers, `/model`, OpenAI OAuth, and autocomplete.
+- Live account check: discovery persisted 4 providers; a fresh process turned `gpt-5.6-luna` from rejected into servable purely from disk.
+
+## [0.9.7] - 2026-07-27
+_Fixes the broken 0.9.3-0.9.6 npm releases: `jeo` and `jeo --tmux` crashed at startup right after `jeo update`._
+
+### Fixed
+- **Published package no longer crashes on launch** (`src/agent/monitor-tool.ts`, `src/agent/monitor-registry.ts`) — the `monitor` tool modules that `src/commands/launch.ts` and `src/commands/launch/slash-handlers.ts` import were never committed, so releases 0.9.3-0.9.6 shipped without them and every `jeo` / `jeo --tmux` run died with `Cannot find module '../agent/monitor-tool'`. Both modules (and their tests) are now part of the repository.
+
+### Changed
+- **Release gate verifies the artifact, not just its file list** (`scripts/check-package.ts`, `.github/workflows/npm-publish.yml`) — `bun run pack:check` now resolves every relative import inside the packed files against the packed set, asserts the required entrypoints, rejects untracked or test/CI paths, and CI additionally unpacks the real tarball and imports the launch module graph before publishing.
+
+### Verified
+- Ran the new gate against the v0.9.6 tag: it reports the three missing-module imports that broke that release.
+- Packed-tarball boot smoke: `src/cli/runner.ts` + `src/commands/launch.ts` import cleanly from the unpacked artifact.
+- Live `jeo --tmux` from the published install renders the TUI instead of exiting with a module error.
+

+ * started blind, showed the maintained static snapshot until the network call
+ * returned, and — worse — the OAuth Codex gate (`isCodexModel`) rejected any model
+ * newer than that snapshot, so an account that had `gpt-5.6-*` could not select it
+ * until discovery happened to finish first.
+ *
+ * Persisting the discovered lists (gjc parity) closes both gaps: the next launch
+ * rehydrates the account's REAL model set from disk before any network call, and a
+ * background refresh keeps it current. The cache is an optimization — a missing,
+ * corrupt, or stale file only means "fall back to live discovery + static catalog",
