+## 0.1.110: Claude returns its report through `--json-schema`
+
+Claude jobs now pass `--json-schema`, and the model returns its completion report by calling Claude Code's
+`StructuredOutput` tool once (Gateway Work Item 75e9d37e, Work Decision b5340773). A run whose final message was not the
+exact JSON envelope no longer fails as `ENVELOPE_INVALID`; a run that never returns the report fails as
+`STRUCTURED_OUTPUT_MISSING`. The hook allows `StructuredOutput` and nothing else beyond the `ai_local` tools. Release
+review evidence is now v3, so each Claude release is reviewed again with this runner, and the Gateway must list that
+evidence before you update. Codex is unchanged.
+
+0.1.110 also carries two D4 changes merged after 0.1.108 that the published 0.1.109 did not include: release review
+inventory validation (PR #926) and strict usage limits for D4 execution (PR #928).
+
+## 0.1.110: read and answer requests in the menu bar app
+
+The menu bar app's menu now starts with **Show requests (n)…** (Gateway Work Item d2b6d0da). It opens a window that
+lists what waits for you, shows one Work Request and its answer, and sends your answer after you confirm it ("Send
+this answer to <requester>?"). Decisions, reviews, outcome records and strict requests not yet accepted say "Handle
+this in your AI session."; **Open in Inbox** opens any item in the web Inbox. Clicking a request notification opens
+the window at that request while the runner is connected; Room notices and everything else still open the web Inbox.
+
+- The app still holds no AI Gateway token. It asks the runner over `<stateRoot>/menubar.sock`, and the runner calls
+  only `work_inbox`, `work_request_show` and `work_request_answer`, one at a time, with your own runner sign-in.
+- Request titles, bodies and answers stay in memory: neither the runner nor the app writes them to disk or a log.
+  Notifications stay generic.
+- An answer is at most 8,000 bytes, the Gateway's own limit.
+
 ## 0.1.109: Codex runs the reviewed GPT model the employee picks
 
 The reviewed Codex releases now allow `gpt-6.1-sol`, `gpt-6.1-terra`, `gpt-5.6-sol`, `gpt-5.6-terra` and `gpt-5.6-luna`
 (Work Decision c85f8c16), so the model chosen in the Sentry modal's Local Codex Runner picker can run. Nothing else
-changes from 0.1.108.
+changes from 0.1.108; the menu bar request window above is not in this release.
 
 ## 0.1.108: the menu bar app reconnects to a new runner
