 # Changelog
 
+## 2.3.1 — 2026-08-24
+
+### Fixed (adversarial + security review round)
+- `mergeGate` now merges `remindedSessions`/`failedSessions` — escalation and dedupe no longer silently reset the remind→block chain.
+- Fuzzy consolidation prefers the gate the session was already reminded about, keeping before/after hooks in sync when two blocking gates are near-duplicates; fuzzy merges no longer overwrite a gate's evidence snippet (a crafted near-duplicate cannot poison it).
+- Quarantine resets the hot-path caches — no phantom gates served after a corrupt `gates.json` is quarantined.
+- `failedSessions` became `sessionID -> timestamp` with the same 24h TTL as reminders — a stale block with no live session is a leak, not enforcement (legacy array shape coerces on load).
+
+### Hardened
+- Prompt-injection framing: snippets and corrections are labeled in remind/block/compaction messages as data/guidance, not instructions; corrections are truncated to 200 chars (context-pollution bound, enforced mechanically).
+- Quarantined files and excised log lines are secret-scrubbed before being preserved.
+- Overrides (`dejavu:proceed`) also emit a `warn`-level client log — mass-overriding must be noticeable.
+- Store size bound: past 2000 gates the weakest watching gate is evicted (flood guard).
+- `scrubSecrets` adds Hugging Face / DigitalOcean / Vercel / New Relic / SendGrid shapes and generic `key=<long value>` assignments (incl. lowercase keys).
+
+## 2.3.0 — 2026-08-24
+
+### Multi-process hardening (several OpenCode windows = several plugin processes on one store)
+- Remind→block session state is persisted ON THE GATE (`remindedSessions`/`failedSessions`) instead of per-process memory: the escalation chain now survives process restarts and is visible to every window serving the session (before: two windows or a restart reset it to "remind forever, never block"). Enforcement reads fresh gate state under the store lock.
+- Session state rots after 24h and is capped per gate; `session.deleted` cleans it from disk.
+
+### Performance (hot path runs on every tool call)
+- `fuzzySimilar`: O(1) length-band pre-filter (triangle inequality — zero false negatives) and a `FUZZY_MAX_LEN` cap — kills the Levenshtein explosion on long signatures (was 150-600ms/tool-call at scale).
+- `GateStore`: O(1) key index + cached blocking subset for lookups; 1s TTL on the mtime cache so the hot path stops paying a `stat` per call (saves refresh the cache directly).
+- Global log rotates at 2MB instead of 512KB — with several projects the aggregate forensics no longer vanish within a day.
+
+### Fixed
+- Init-storm TOCTOU: index orphan-pruning now keeps a 24h grace window, so a just-promoted gate's index entry cannot be pruned by a concurrent startup.
+- After-hook escalation state is written under the store lock and follows the gate to the global store on escalation (previously lost in both cases).
+
+### Added
+- `doctor.ts` reports LOCK DEGRADATIONS (count of `degraded` log events) as an observability note — the evidence signal for whether the storage backend ever needs revisiting.
+

 - **Aborted ≠ failed** — cancelled/aborted tool executions ("Tool execution aborted") are infrastructure noise and are never counted as failures.
 - **File content is not command output** — text failure signatures are scanned for `bash` only; `read`/`edit`/`write` failures come exclusively from the event channel (a file containing "TypeError" is not a failure).
 - **Concurrency** — gates.json mutations run under an exclusive lockfile; log appends and rotation take their own lock (every OpenCode window shares the global log); writes are tmp+rename with EPERM/EACCES/EBUSY retry (Windows AV/indexer). NT long paths get the `\\?\` prefix. If a lock cannot be acquired within 3s the critical section degrades to unlocked (the tool pipeline must never hang) and emits a `degraded` log event — the only window where updates can be lost is visible.
+- **Multi-window safe** — the remind→block escalation chain is persisted on the gate itself (`remindedSessions`/`failedSessions`), not in process memory: several OpenCode windows on one store — and process restarts — all see the same chain. Enforcement always reads fresh gate state under the store lock.
 - **Near-duplicate consolidation** — new failures merge into existing patterns via normalized Levenshtein ≤ 0.3 with an absolute floor of 3 edits (replaces token Jaccard, which collapsed all `<str>` placeholders; the floor stops `git push` vs `git pull`-style merges).
 - **Bounded memory** — per-session maps are capped (200 sessions) and freed on `session.deleted`; handled part IDs evict FIFO; TTL expiry re-runs every 6 h in long-lived processes.
 - **Migration** — gates outside the blocking policy are demoted to `watching` automatically; project copies of already-global gates are merged into the global gate (evidence is consolidated, never deleted).
