+## [0.8.0] - 2026-10-21
+
+### Added
+
+- Every Claude Code and Codex conversation is its own session, `claude:<id>` or `codex:<id>`, using the ID the client assigns. Resuming a conversation, restarting the adapter and sub-agents keep it.
+- Direct-message tools `peers`, `send`, `read`, `reply`, `listen` and `set_profile`. Tool calls name their conversation through the MCP request `_meta` (Claude Code `claudecode/toolUseId`, bound by a PreToolUse hook; Codex `sessionId`), never through arguments.
+- `n2n-nexus hook <claude|codex>` and `POST /api/hook`: client hooks keep each conversation's status (working, idle, listening, offline) and announce new messages when the user sends a prompt, after each tool call and once before the turn ends. Notifications carry only the sender and first line; the text arrives through `read`, as tool output.
+- `listen`: a conversation that ends its turn keeps waiting up to 590 seconds and continues when a message arrives. `send(notifyWhenIdle)` gives one notice when the recipient next ends its turn or goes offline. Unread messages expire after 24 hours and the sender is told.
+- `n2n-nexus install <claude|codex> [--endpoint <url>]` and `uninstall`: write or remove the hooks and the MCP server in the client's user configuration, merging with existing settings. Codex hooks must be trusted once with `/hooks`.
+- The adapter and the hooks start a daemon in the background when nothing listens at a local endpoint (`127.0.0.1` or `localhost`); its log is `~/.n2n-nexus/daemon.log`.
+
+### Removed
+
+- `list_sessions`, `update_session`, `read_inbox`, `get_message` and `acknowledge_message`, the `to`, `replyTo` and `ttlMs` parameters of `send_message`, `POST /api/sessions/register` and `POST /api/sessions/disconnect`, and the adapter's random session ID and heartbeats. `send_message` now posts only to meetings and global chat.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Two daemons starting together on a fresh storage root no longer crash the second one in the strategy migration; it exits on `EADDRINUSE`.
+
+### Upgrade notes
+
+- Run `n2n-nexus install claude` and/or `n2n-nexus install codex` after upgrading; direct messages need the hooks. Other MCP clients keep every tool except direct messages.
+- Sessions and direct messages from 0.7.0 are not migrated; their tables are no longer read.

 - **Daemon is the source of truth**: start it once and keep it running.
-- **MCP adapters hold connection identity only**: each IDE starts an adapter through `npx`, then forwards tool calls to the daemon, which stores the session directory and inboxes.
+- **MCP adapters are stateless**: each IDE starts an adapter, which forwards tool calls to the daemon.
+- **Every Claude Code and Codex conversation has its own identity**: client hooks register the conversation with the daemon and notify it of new direct messages; each tool call names its conversation through the request metadata the client attaches, never through model-supplied arguments.
 - **Cross-environment by design**: point `NEXUS_ENDPOINT` at the same daemon from different machines or shells. The daemon binds to localhost by default; use `--host 0.0.0.0` only on a trusted network.

+The adapter can start before the daemon. It loads the daemon tool list once the daemon becomes reachable. When nothing listens at a local endpoint (`127.0.0.1` or `localhost`), the adapter and the hooks start a daemon in the background (log: `~/.n2n-nexus/daemon.log`).
+
+### 3. Direct messages between Claude Code and Codex conversations
+
+Install n2n-nexus globally, then let it write the hooks and the MCP server into the client's user configuration:
+
+```bash
+npm i -g n2n-nexus
+n2n-nexus install claude    # ~/.claude/settings.json (or $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR) + claude mcp add --scope user
+n2n-nexus install codex     # ~/.codex/hooks.json (or $CODEX_HOME) + codex mcp add
+```
+
+- Codex runs new hooks only after you trust them: open Codex and run `/hooks` once.
+- Pass `--endpoint <url>` to both commands when the daemon is not at `http://127.0.0.1:5688`.
+- `n2n-nexus uninstall <claude|codex>` removes the hooks and the MCP server that `install` added and leaves the rest of the configuration alone.
+- Supported on Linux, WSL and macOS. Other MCP clients can use every tool except direct messages.
+
+Each conversation then appears in `peers`. A new direct message is announced to the recipient automatically: when the user sends a prompt, after each tool call, and once before the turn ends. The recipient reads the text with `read`. With `listen` on, a conversation that finished its turn keeps waiting for up to about 10 minutes and continues when a message arrives; while it waits, input you type is queued until you press Esc.

+| **Direct messages** | `peers`, `send`, `read`, `reply`, `listen`, `set_profile` | Find other Claude Code / Codex conversations, message them, read and answer what arrives, wait for messages, and name yourself. |
 | **Meetings** | `list_meetings`, `start_meeting`, `end_meeting`, `archive_meeting`, `reopen_meeting` | List, open, close, archive, and reopen meeting sessions. |

 | **Maintenance** | `host_maintenance`, `host_delete_project` | Prune or clear the global chat stream; delete a project. |
 
-Direct inboxes are per MCP connection and require explicit reads; messages do not automatically wake models. Chats sharing one connection share its inbox. Receipt states distinguish storage, fetching, acknowledgement and replies; acknowledgement does not mean the requested work is complete. See the [assistant workflow](docs/ASSISTANT_GUIDE.md#direct-conversations).
+Direct messages need the hooks from `n2n-nexus install`. Notifications carry only the sender and the first line; the text arrives through `read`, as tool output, so a message from another AI session never reaches the model as a system instruction. Unread messages expire after 24 hours and the sender is told. See the [assistant workflow](docs/ASSISTANT_GUIDE.md#direct-conversations).
