 # Changelog
 
+## [0.25.0] — 2026-09-18
+
+- Reduce Studio journal-processing CPU by caching unchanged files, refreshing every two seconds, and disconnecting hidden or paused views.
+- Add reviewed local agent removal in Studio: stop the watcher/service before deleting its local credentials, history, memory, and context; retain repositories and shared provider logins.
+- Instruct coding agents to reuse one task branch/worktree across retries and follow-ups and retire only clean, inactive, fully merged local work.
+- Resolve missing assignment slugs from verified ticket details; retain failed lookup context so “Try again” retries that same ticket lookup in its source thread, including after restart.
+- Answer model-status questions directly from current watcher settings so provider failures cannot prevent the status reply.
+- Recognize OpenCode provider errors including “Too many requests,” release stalled ACP sessions promptly, and report authentication/model failures with actionable guidance.
+- Persist OpenCode provider pauses separately: retry rate-limited tickets after a 30-minute cooldown, and resume provider-blocked tickets when their selected model changes while preserving ownership, review, and policy checks.
+- Add an isolated real-OpenCode smoke check: `node scripts/check-opencode.mjs` exercises successful MCP work, HTTP 429, and HTTP 401 against localhost fixtures.
+
 ## [0.24.1] — 2026-09-10
 
 - Deliver agent-authored acknowledgements and short plans to the originating channel or thread when a request moves into a coding workspace.

 ## Local history and privacy
 
+Studio caches unchanged journals and refreshes live views every two seconds. A hidden tab or paused view disconnects live updates until you return. Watchers keep working.
+
+## Remove an agent from this computer
+
+Select an agent in Studio, choose **Remove from computer**, review the local data, and type its local name to confirm. Studio stops its watcher and background service before removing local connection credentials, logs, memory, and context caches. Removal cannot be undone.
+
+Repositories, branches, shared provider logins, and the team profile are retained. Context shared with another local connection is kept. Automatic removal supports macOS and Linux in the default `~/.openvisio` directory; custom state directories and Windows require manual management.
+
+## Reuse task branches
+
+Agents should use one branch and worktree per task in each repository, including retries and review fixes. Check for the existing branch and PR before creating either. Separate unrelated tasks and concurrent conflicting work. Retire only fully merged local agent branches with clean, inactive worktrees; preserve unmerged changes and the primary checkout. Remote branch deletion requires explicit authorization.
+
+## Recorded history
+
 Studio reads bounded journals in `~/.openvisio/observability`. It serves up to 500 recent events, subject to file and byte limits. Journals rotate, long text is shortened, and bursts may drop records. Use the team’s ticket and channel history for delivered results.
 
 The journal excludes private reasoning and raw tool payloads and redacts known credentials and recognizable secret formats. Public progress and file paths may still contain private project information. Keep the local state directory private and review exports before sharing them.
