+## 0.1.52: publication diagnostics and candidate cleanup
+
+Publication failures report fixed `publication_step` and `LOCAL_FIX_*` codes;
+completion rejection reports fixed reason counts. Rejected text, paths and values
+are excluded. Validation and approval limits remain unchanged.
+
+`max_diff_bytes` currently bounds the serialized full-file before/after delta,
+not a line-based patch. Even a small edit can exceed it. The runner rejects that
+candidate before staging; this release does not increase a contract's budget.
+
+Owned temporary snapshot copies are removed after finalization settles, while
+publication journals and source recovery state remain. An unknown remote outcome
+or cleanup failure after remote publication requires reconciliation, not another
+model run. Pre-existing forensic candidates are not swept automatically.
+
+## 0.1.51: open a session for an ask no session can show
+
+Sometimes no live session can show an AI Gateway ask or answer soon: there is no live session, no human prompt for 30
+minutes, an idle Codex session, or an idle Claude session that cannot be woken. The runner then opens a session in the
+person's own AI app instead of only showing a notification (Work Item e1c08b33, Work Decision 3ea5c197).
+
+It opens only when all of these hold:
+
+- the Mac had keyboard or pointer input in the last 5 minutes;
+- the delivery was never opened;
+- no session opened in the last 15 minutes still waits;
+- fewer than 3 sessions were opened in the past hour.
+
+The runner reads the idle time from `ioreg`, which needs no permission. When the person is away, they get today's
+notification, and the runner checks again every 30 seconds while a delivery waits.
+
+The session opens in the app of the most recent human prompt, or else in Claude, or else in the Codex app.
+`/usr/bin/open -g` keeps the app in the background. The prompt is one of three fixed texts that carry no ids. For asks,
+it tells the AI to read them with `work_inbox` and not to decide, review or answer until the person says so; for
+answers, to read them and continue the work they were waiting for. Nothing runs until Enter. With the integration
+installed in that app, that Enter makes the delivery seen. An ask shown only at the start of a session nobody types in
+is shown again at a prompt in another session.
+
+A failed open is not tried again for its deliveries, which get today's notification, and no other open is tried for 15
+minutes. Only one open runs at a time, and none starts once the daemon begins to stop.
+
+The notification sent with an open names the app. The runner logs `ask_session_opened` and `ask_session_open_failed`,
+with codes only. Nothing changes until the Gateway's AI-first switch is on for a pilot actor. The Gateway now waits 30
+minutes before an unseen ask goes to Slack.
+
 ## 0.1.49: one push transport instead of two long-polls
 
 The daemon no longer long-polls the Gateway (Work Item 25d8ea74). It keeps one Pusher protocol 7 WebSocket to the
