+## 0.1.107: the AI Gateway menu bar app
+
+`setup` installs `~/Applications/AI Gateway.app` and the daemon opens it (Gateway Work Item b9218937). A bell in the
+menu bar shows two numbers: unread Work Room shares and requests, decisions and reviews waiting for you. Its menu
+opens the AI Gateway web Inbox. Work Room activity and asks that no AI session can show arrive as notifications;
+clicking one opens the matching Inbox page in your browser. Allow notifications when macOS asks. If you closed that
+prompt, choose "Turn on notifications…" in the menu.
+
+- `mtec-ai-local-runner menubar status`: `installed` means this runner's copy is installed; `outdated` means an
+  older copy is, and the next `setup` replaces it.
+- `mtec-ai-local-runner menubar remove`: removes the app; `setup` leaves it out until `menubar install`.
+- The app talks only to the runner over a private socket, `<stateRoot>/menubar.sock`. It holds no AI Gateway token.
+  Without it, or without notification permission, the runner shows its usual macOS notices.
+- The Room number comes from the runner's Room activity scan, which runs only where the Gateway turned Work Room
+  activity notices on for you. A messenger-mode runner shows request counts and ask notices only.
+
+Also in 0.1.107: the D4 candidate review source from development (reviewer sessions bound to verified P2
+candidates, the `local_candidate_review_read` tool and the structured review report). It runs nothing on its own: new
+D4 review contracts are preparation-only and are refused with `D4_REVIEW_EXECUTION_RELEASE_REQUIRED` until a reviewed
+D4 execution release exists.
+
+## 0.1.106: exact investigation notices wake a resumed Claude conversation
+
+Published minimal release: verified 0.1.105 plus the exact investigation wake correction from PR #905, without the
+other unreleased Runner changes on development. Release source is `5ac68780`; tarball SHA-256 is
+`8a028a5df2a34c592567e4ba62e4cd45677cd3484681b27494aac8d4f53747aa` (Work Decision `062f9cba`).
+Gateway release registration/deployment and a separately approved installation of the updated Claude hooks remain
+required. Publishing does not replace an installed Runner, refresh an open conversation or run an investigation.

+counts as seen at the next prompt in that same session. Ordinary and acceptance deliveries require a human prompt
+within 30 minutes to wake a session. An exact investigation approval notice can wake its live bound Claude session
+without a recent prompt, but still needs its own watcher and the 6-wakes-per-hour allowance. With no such session the ask becomes one macOS notification, which gives up after 3
 seconds and logs only an error code, and the ask waits for the next session start or prompt. Hook text is fixed and
 carries validated ids only; the AI reads the ask itself with the Gateway show tools, which mark its text as untrusted.
 
+Runner 0.1.106 adds a Claude SessionStart `asyncRewake` watcher so a resumed conversation can receive that exact
+investigation notice without a typed prompt. Synchronous SessionStart leaves those notices pending for the watcher,
+regardless of hook arrival order. Neither registration nor the watcher invents a human prompt or a turn end; a busy
+turn waits for its real Stop. Ordinary requests, acceptance delivery and Codex hooks retain their existing behavior.
+Runner 0.1.105 does not include this fix. The reviewed package must be registered and its updated Claude hooks
+installed; package publication alone does not refresh an already open conversation. The recipient must still
+check current Gateway authorization before accessing the pinned files or recording its result.
+
 An ask or answer the runner puts into a session on its own, by a wake or at a turn end, also gets one macOS
 notification naming that app and session ("It is in your Claude session in api-cloud-service-ai-gateway (last typed
 17:39)."), since the person may be looking elsewhere (Work Item 643dc395). Hooks carry no session title, so the
