+- eeb6294: Session usage as one ledger (protocol 18). The usage ledger keeps each model call's cost by token kind (uncached input, cache read, cache write, output) at the prices the adapter applied (migration 0037). For a protocol 18 client, `GET /v1/sessions/{id}/calls/model` returns each call's `startedAt`, `endedAt` and `usage.costSplit` (null for a call recorded before), and `GET /v1/sessions/{id}/usage` adds `costSplit` with `splitCalls`, and the calls' durations added up as `modelTimeMs` with `timedCalls`. A protocol 16 or 17 client reads usage as before. Studio's Usage tab is rebuilt on them: a Session card with one tokens bar and a ledger of tokens and cost by kind adding up to a total row, then the model calls grouped by turn with the same columns (cached, uncached, output, total, time, cost), and a row menu whose View event opens the call's event in the Events tab.

+### Patch Changes

+- ed08ba8: Public text names no internal roadmap codes: the OpenAPI documents' descriptions, the type comments of `@nylorun/core`, `@nylorun/agents` and `@nylorun/admin`, and the CLI's help, README and generated compose file. A Runtime test fails when either OpenAPI document names one.
+- ed08ba8: `nylo` and the deprecated `@nylorun/cli` name the release that removes them, nylorun 0.19, where they said "one release": `nylo`'s message ends "nylorun 0.19 removes nylo.", and `@nylorun/cli`'s stderr line, description and README say nylorun 0.19 removes both.
+- ed08ba8: `--help` (or `-h`) works on every command and subcommand: it prints that command's own usage on stdout and exits 0, where `nylorun migrate v8 --help`, `nylorun tenant budgets --help` and others exited 2 with "Unknown option --help", and `nylorun tenant settings --help` printed the usage of `budgets`, `tool-policy` and `coverage` too. `nylorun --help` lists every `agents` command (`pin`, `track`, `restart`, `triggers`, `runs` and `memories` were missing) and `migrate v8 --name`, and the README lists `agents pin`, `track`, `restart`, `put --dry-run`, `fork --label` and `list --outdated`.
+- ed08ba8: Webhook URLs name the Runtime's public URL. A trigger's `webhookUrl` is at `NYLORUN_PUBLIC_URL`, else the origin the request reached, so behind a reverse proxy that rewrites `Host` to `localhost:<port>` it is the proxy's URL, not `http://localhost:<port>`; the Runtime API's `401` challenges name it too. `nylorun start` passes `NYLORUN_PUBLIC_URL` from its shell to the runtime container (default `http://localhost:<port>`).

+### Minor Changes

+- cc8d034: Track T3 in the clients. The SDK has `client.agents.plan(id, input)` (what a move would do), `client.agents.restart(id, { retry? })` and `list({ outdated: true })`. The CLI has `nylorun agents pin <id> <n>`, `track <id>`, `restart <id> [--retry]`, `put --dry-run`, and `list --outdated` (`--behind` kept as its alias), and prints the version an Agent moves to. Studio's Agent page moves an Agent (Move to vN, Pin, Track), restarts it on a pending version or retries a failed one, and shows "vN at next start", a version waiting for secrets, or one that failed to start. The starter's dev loop no longer deletes and remakes its Agent: the tracking Agent moves on each save.
+- 22c61ce: Protocol 16, Agents from one manifest (track T2), a fresh start. An agent manifest (v8) is one versioned document at `/v1/agent-manifests/{name}` with a `harness` section (what runs inside the loop, including the harness's id) and a `runtime` section (what an environment manifest said). The Runtime checks the two against each other when it is saved (`422 manifest_inconsistent` with `details.gaps`), in place of `requires` at session open. Agent definitions and environment manifests are gone.
+
+  Environments are Agents: `/v1/agents/{id}` and its sub-routes, made from a saved manifest only (`manifest: "name"` tracks it, `"name@n"` pins a version; either resolves once, into `resolvedVersion`), with a derived `state` (`working`, `sleeping`, `input_required`, `failing`, `paused`) and `attention`. Every session runs on one Agent (`PUT /v1/sessions/{id} { agent, ownerUserId }`) and pins its manifest version. No session is special (D71). Error codes, events (`agent.*`), scopes (`agents:write`, `agent-manifests:write`) and identity-file grants (`agents`) say Agent; model budget scope `agent` is `manifest`. Harness API 5: `turn.start.agent` replaces `turn.start.environment`, with `definition` and `loop`. Migration 0032 closes older sessions (`protocol_16`) and drops Environments with their disks and vaults.
+
+  The SDK has `client.agentManifests`, `client.agents` and `composeManifest(dir)` for three-file authoring; the CLI has `nylorun apply`, `nylorun agent-manifests`, `nylorun agents` and `nylorun migrate v8`; Studio has an Agents screen, an Agent page and an Agent manifests screen. See MIGRATION.md.
+
+- 4fa160d: Agent memory, storage and API (track T5, D72). An agent manifest's `harness.memory` (`access`: `read_write` or `read_only`; `instructions`, at most 4,096 characters) turns on the Agent's memory: Markdown files under `/memories` it keeps across sessions, wakes and upgrades. The Runtime keeps them in Postgres (`memories`, `memory_versions`, migration 0036) with a version per change and who made it. `GET /v1/agents/{id}/memories` lists them (`pathPrefix`), `GET`, `PUT` (whole content, with an optional `contentSha256` precondition: `409 memory_conflict`) and `DELETE /v1/agents/{id}/memories/{path}` read, write and delete one (or a folder), and `GET /v1/agents/{id}/memory_versions` and `.../memory_versions/{versionId}` page the versions. A fork copies the memories (the fork plan adds `memories`); a delete removes them. `@nylorun/core` adds `memoryPathOf`, `memoryDescriptionOf` and the memory contracts; new Runtime limits `memoryBytes` (100 KiB) and `memoriesPerAgent` (10,000); new error code `memory_conflict`. The SDK adds `client.agents.memories`; the CLI adds `nylorun agents memories ls|cat|put|rm|versions`. The model's `memory` tool arrives in the next steps of T5.
+- 9e60e40: Protocol 17, a queue per session (track T4, D76). A message sent while the session's turn runs or waits is queued (`{status: "queued", queuedMessageId, position}`, `message.queued`) and starts the next turn when this one ends, with every queued message, each its own user message (`queue.taken`); a cancel ends the turn, not the queue. `delivery: "reject"` keeps the refusal, now `409 session_busy`, and a protocol 16 client's messages default to it, so the Host serves protocol 16 and 17. The queue holds at most the Runtime limit `sessionQueuedMessages` (`429 queue_full`), and session reads count `queuedMessages`. Our engine takes `{kind: "messages", messages}` as a turn's input. The SDK's `input` and `inputParts` take `delivery`, and the CLI's `sessions send` takes `--reject-if-busy`. See MIGRATION.md.
+- f85483d: Triggers (track T4, D74). An agent manifest's `runtime.triggers` declares `schedule` (cron with an IANA `timezone`) and `at` triggers, each with the session its runs go to (a session id, opened on the first run, or `new` for a session per run) and its prompt. They start active with a new Agent, fire on a durable timer per trigger with Postgres as the truth (one late fire after downtime, never a backfill, a fixed jitter per trigger), and each fire is a run (`started`, `queued`, `skipped` or `failed`, with a reason) at `GET /v1/agents/{id}/runs`. A schedule adds at most one queued message to a busy session. `GET /v1/agents/{id}/triggers` and `POST .../triggers/{triggerId}/pause`, `/resume` and `/run` (with an `Idempotency-Key`); Agent reads add `nextWakeAt`, and the Agent's stream adds `agent.run`, `agent.trigger_paused` and `agent.trigger_resumed`. New Runtime limits: `triggersPerAgent`, `triggerMinIntervalMs` and `triggerRunRetentionMs` (with floors), `triggerRunsPerHour`, `triggerJitterPercent`, `triggerJitterMaxMs`, `triggerPromptChars`; Host tuning `triggers.lateGraceMs` and `triggers.intervalCheckFires`. The SDK's `client.agents` adds `triggers`, `pauseTrigger`, `resumeTrigger`, `runTrigger` and `runs`; the CLI adds `nylorun agents triggers` and `nylorun agents runs`.
+- ae54de7: Webhook triggers (track T4, D75). A `webhook: "standard-webhooks"` trigger has an endpoint, `POST /v1/webhooks/{endpointId}`, an anonymous, unversioned route that takes any body up to the new Runtime limit `webhookBodyBytes` and verifies Standard Webhooks (`webhook-id`, `webhook-timestamp` within the Host's `triggers.webhookToleranceMs`, `webhook-signature`) in the keys service, which alone opens the trigger's sealed secret; anything else is `401` and writes nothing. A delivery runs the trigger once per `webhook-id` (`202 {runId, status}`); a paused trigger answers a signed one `409 trigger_paused`. `POST /v1/agents/{id}/triggers/{triggerId}/secret` makes or replaces the `whsec_` secret, shown once (`agent.trigger_secret_rotated`); trigger reads show `webhookUrl` and `secretSet`. The payload reaches the model under the trigger's prompt in a labelled `<trigger-payload>` block. The SDK adds `agents.rotateWebhookSecret`, and the CLI `nylorun agents triggers new-secret`.

-### Saving an agent from its manifest
+### Agent manifests: `apply`
 
-`nylorun agents save agent.json --files skills/` saves the agent a manifest
-describes, as `saveAgent` does from code. A manifest names each definition file
-(a skill folder's files) by the SHA-256 of its bytes, so the files under the
-`--files` folders are matched by content, whatever their paths; the ones the
-Runtime does not hold are uploaded first (`PUT /v1/files/sha256:…`). A file the
-manifest names but no folder holds stops the save before any request, naming
-where the manifest names it. `nylorun agents get <id>` prints a saved agent's
-manifest; the Runtime does not hand files back, so keep them with the manifest.
+An agent runs from a saved **agent manifest** (protocol 16): one named, versioned
+document with a harness section (instructions, tools, skills, MCP servers,
+plugins) and a runtime section (kind, image, network, setup, files, secret
+slots). Author it as files, one folder per agent:
+
+```
+agents/triage/agent.manifest.json     # { "manifestSchemaVersion": 8, "name": "triage",
+                                      #   "harness": "./harness.manifest.json",
+                                      #   "runtime": "../../shared/runtime.manifest.json" }
+agents/triage/harness.manifest.json   # instructions, tools, "skills": "./skills",
+                                      # "mcpServers": "./mcp.json", "plugins": ["../../plugins/github"],
+                                      # "credentials": { "linear": "linear" }, "requires": { "sandbox": "any" }
+agents/triage/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md
+shared/runtime.manifest.json          # kind, image, "files": [{ "path": "/workspace/kit", "from": "./kit" }], secrets
+```
+
+`nylorun apply agents/triage` composes the folder as `composeManifest` of
+`@nylorun/agents` does (each path relative to the file that names it; skills,
+plugins and `from` folders hashed; `credentials` set on the servers and HTTP
+tools it names; `requires` checked against the runtime and left out), prints the
+plan (`triage: version 2 → 3`, then each change as `section path op`, warnings
+and errors) and saves it under `If-Match` set to the version it planned
+against, uploading the files the Runtime does not hold (`PUT /v1/files/sha256:…`).
+A manifest whose sections do not fit, or whose runtime misses what its harness
+`requires`, is an error: nothing is saved and the command exits 1. `--dry-run`
+prints the plans only; `--if-match <n>` saves only over version `n`.
+`nylorun apply agents/` applies every subfolder with an `agent.manifest.json`;
+every folder composes before anything is sent.
+
+`nylorun agent-manifests list` shows each manifest's latest version, runtime
+kind, harness and the Agents made from it; `get <name>[@<n>]` prints a version,
+`versions <name>` its history and `rm <name>` deletes it (refused while an Agent
+was made from it). Make an Agent from it with `nylorun agents put <id> --manifest
+<name>` (tracking its latest version) or `--manifest <name>@<n>` (pinned), and
+open sessions on it with `nylorun sessions create --agent <id> --owner <user>`.
+
+`nylorun migrate v8 agent.json [--runtime box.json] [--out agents/triage]`
+writes the three files from an agent manifest v7 (as `nylorun agents save` took
+it) and the environment manifest v1 its sessions ran in: the environment
+manifest's fields become the runtime file, its `harness` the harness file's `id`,
+and v7's `requires` stays in the harness file for `apply` to check. With no
+environment manifest the kind is `pod` when the agent requires one, `virtual`
+when it has skills or requires a sandbox, else `none`. It overwrites no file and
+prints the gaps to fix before `apply`.
