 # Changelog
 
+## 2026.9.32
+
+- Family 79: recurring cron jobs retry transient errors (rate limit, overloaded, network, timeout, server error) at min(next natural slot, now + `cron.retry` backoff) up to `cron.retry.maxAttempts`, then return to the normal schedule, instead of burning the slot. Isolated cron runs always carry the default fallback chain, so a throttled job model falls through even when its provider differs from the default primary.
+- New `cron.failureLog`: a file path that receives one line per cron failure, retries included: `- timestamp | cron-fail | job | error class | attempt n | next retry <time|none>`. Failures go to the file; Telegram stays reserved for each job's own announce.
+- The `cron` tool waits 180s for the gateway (was 60s), and a cron gateway timeout no longer adds the automatic "⚠️ ⏰ Cron failed" line to the chat reply (the call usually completed server-side).
+- Bare model shorthands always resolve to the newest shipped model. A user alias that pins an older model of the same line (for example `opus` on `claude-opus-5` after `opus` moved to `claude-opus-5-5`) yields to the shipped default, and the old model keeps a versioned alias (`opus5`, `sonnet46`, `gpt55`). Applied on every config load and written back to the config file once at gateway start, with a log line naming each move. Custom aliases and deliberate cross-provider pins are untouched.
+- Exact replay `scripts/patch-cron-reliability.py` (37 files). Roll back with `npm i -g johns-harness@2026.9.31`.
+
+## 2026.9.31
+
+- Family 78: Claude Opus 5.5 (`anthropic/claude-opus-5-5`) is a first-class model. Id, $4/$20 pricing, $0.20 cache reads, 1M native context (300K owner cap), 128K max output and always-on adaptive thinking confirmed against the Anthropic model docs on 2026-09-23. Effort maps 1:1 (xhigh and max are distinct), temperature is dropped, and `opus` now resolves to Opus 5.5 on every install; `opus5` keeps Claude Opus 5 reachable and the opus-5 catalog entry is unchanged. Exact replay via `scripts/patch-opus-5-5-model.py`; verifier checks 78.1-78.3. Roll back with `npm i -g johns-harness@2026.9.30`.
+
 ## 2026.9.30
 
 - Family 77: weekly official six-provider audit. DeepSeek V4 Flash/Pro now transmit native low for minimal/low instead of silently using high. Meta Standard Muse 1.2/1.3 preserve provider-default effort when the caller omits it instead of forcing minimal. Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite omit deprecated/ignored sampling temperature. Preserve all aliases, saved model IDs, owner context caps and default selections.
@@ -40,7 +52,7 @@
 - New packed-artifact gate `scripts/check-packed-artifact.mjs` inspects the real `npm pack` output (and registry tarballs) and fails closed unless all ten plugin-loader copies carry the Family 68 option. Releases 2026.9.22 and 2026.9.23 were cut from the pre-68 base, so their tarballs lacked it while main carried it; this gate makes that impossible to repeat.
 - Roll back with `npm i -g johns-harness@2026.9.23`.
 
-## 2026.9.23
+## 2026.9.31
 
 - Family 70: ship the `orchestrator` skill as a bundled, always-eligible skill so every harness install loads the delegation and briefing protocol implicitly (pass the user's words through when they are clear, expand when they are vague, keep briefings brief). Workspace overrides, `enabled: false` and `allowBundled` still apply. `RULES.md` points at the bundled copy.
