-Version `7.9.7` is the current packaged-runtime line. Patch release that hardens the installed-user MCP/update path after live Desktop validation: Brain now normalizes managed runtime configs back to the stable `~/.nexo/core` root instead of leaving clients pinned to versioned snapshots, mirrors Claude Code MCP config into `~/.claude/mcp-cortex.json`, stamps the active MCP client in generated configs, and disables the FastMCP wrapped `output_schema` that was making Claude Code reject plain-text `nexo_*` tool results. Coordinated Desktop v0.28.8 consumes the same contract so archive/reopen/app-quit flows recover cleanly without reviving stale sessions.
+Version `7.9.8` is the current packaged-runtime line. Hotfix release over `7.9.7`: packaged installs that already run from `~/.nexo/core/current -> versions/<version>` no longer mistake that managed snapshot for a mutable source checkout during `nexo update`. The updater now stays on the packaged path unless `version.json` points to a real external repo, so installed users stop “updating” from the old runtime back into itself. Coordinated Desktop v0.28.10 bundles the same fix.
 
 Previously in `7.9.5`: patch release that fixes canonical diary confirmation for Desktop: Brain resolves the Desktop/Claude session UUID through NEXO SID aliases before checking `session_diary`, so archive/delete/app-exit can confirm diaries written by `nexo_session_diary_write` under the active `nexo-...` SID. Verification: `pytest tests/test_lifecycle_events.py` (28 passing) plus coordinated Desktop v0.28.6 shutdown/archive/delete/app-exit checks.
