 # Changelog
 
+## 0.2.9 (pending) — 2026-09-03
+
+- Add a shared, request-scoped `reader` / `technical` / `audit` communication
+  contract across the project rule, conversational skills, and agent return
+  packets. Reader replies now filter routine execution metadata while material
+  failures remain visible and detailed evidence, ledgers, and handoffs stay
+  intact.
+- Cover the installed communication contract, parent/child projection,
+  protected operational surfaces, and safe payload upgrades. LitGrok continues
+  to label final-response enforcement as advisory because it does not ship a
+  supported host response interceptor.
+
+## 0.2.8 (pending) — 2026-09-02
+
+- Move the scientific-visualization corpus to `.grok/vendor/` so the skill
+  adapter stays a wrapper over the original files.
+- Count vendor license, provenance, and NOTICE companions in family
+  payload-parity so packed skills keep the material they name.
+
 ## 0.2.7 (pending) — 2026-09-02
 
 - Repair payload upgrades across the ownership-manifest transition: installs now

 `apply` prints the ledger id needed for rollback. The deterministic curator is also user-invoked: by default it runs at most once every seven days, requires at least two idle hours, marks eligible unpinned agent-owned skills stale after 30 idle days, and archives them outside discovery after 90 idle days. It makes a full backup before a transition and never deletes a skill package; `--force` bypasses only the seven-day run interval for an explicit test or maintenance invocation.

 `apply`는 rollback에 필요한 ledger id를 출력합니다. Deterministic curator도 user-invoked입니다. 기본적으로 7일에 한 번만 실행되고, 마지막 activity 뒤 최소 2시간이 지나야 하며, pin되지 않은 agent-owned skill을 30일 idle 뒤 stale로 표시하고 90일 idle 뒤 discovery 밖으로 archive합니다. Transition 전에는 전체 backup을 만들고 skill package를 삭제하지 않습니다. `--force`는 명시적인 test 또는 maintenance 실행에서 7일 interval만 건너뜁니다.
