 # Changelog
 
+## 0.3.47 - 2026-08-23 — frontend, browser, and observer surfaces
+
+- Add the frontend/UI/UX and Visual QA `litfamily.design-contract/v1beta2`
+  surface with optional bounded `taste` dials for `variance`, `motion`, and
+  `density`. Keep v1beta1 as an explicit compatibility input, and reject
+  unknown fields or invalid taste values.
+- Add the `browser-drive` capability probe. It reports a verified driver or a
+  named blocked state, never substitutes a fetch, and never installs a driver.
+- Add `skill-observer` proposal storage under
+  `.litclaude/skill-observer/observations.jsonl`. Records remain bounded and
+  carry `applied: false`.
+- Harden secret redaction, path ownership, timeout cleanup, and fail-closed
+  persistence checks across the observer and browser probe surfaces.
+- Extend canonical resource, schema, focused test, and package coverage for
+  the shipped assets.
+
+## 0.3.46 - 2026-08-16 — ready-to-paste native `/goal` guidance
+
+- Add structured `READY_TO_PASTE` guidance for unavailable native goal binding,
+  including one bounded `/goal` condition that the user can submit manually in
+  the current Claude Code session.
+- Keep automatic slash-command submission unavailable and redact shell-like
+  objective fragments before they reach hook context.
+
 ## 0.3.45 - 2026-08-15 — documentation surface refresh
 
 - Simplify the English and Korean README guides and pin their packaged cover

+UserPromptSubmit includes a `READY_TO_PASTE` instruction containing that command.
