 # Changelog
 
+## [0.25.12] — 2026-09-22
+
+- Save compact Mastra ACP checkpoints for 15 minutes across runtime eviction and watcher restart, without extra summarization calls or repeating checkpoint context in warm sessions. Scope recall by backend, agent, ticket/thread, workspace, and coding capability.
+- Continue narrowly recognized acknowledgment-only coding turns once in the same runtime, preserving cancellation and reporting repeated incomplete turns honestly.
+- Try an advertised, schema-compatible `get_tickets` read when primary task discovery fails, is malformed, or finds no matching ownership. Keep ownership verification and ambiguous-write protections intact.
+- Guide agents to reuse context, check alternative read tools, and report specific blockers rather than repeatedly rediscovering work.
+- Known limitations: ownership-free Markdown task listings still prevent assignment rediscovery on the current backend; the observed OpenCode reply-to-work handoff failure remains unresolved. This release does not claim to fix either issue.
+
 ## [0.25.11] — 2026-09-21
 
 - Explain and enforce task ownership identity: `assignee_id` is for human members, while `agent_id` is for registered agents, and task mutations cannot send both.

If openvisio_list_my_tasks fails or unexpectedly returns nothing, discover advertised alternatives with openvisio_find_tools (or the runtime tool catalog if discovery itself fails). Use list_projects and available list_tasks/get_tickets tools with their actual schemas, follow pagination, and match ticket agent_id to your verified agent identity; assignee_id may refer to a human. Inspect get_ticket before acting. Never invent a tool, identifier, assignment, result, or permission. Try a materially different read path or narrower query instead of repeating the same failing call. Do not replay writes after ambiguous errors; read back state first. A reply session without edit tools does not mean coding is disabled: when a workspace is configured, call openvisio_request_work_session and carry the findings forward. An acknowledgement or plan is not a completed task. Make safe progress on independent parts; ask only for information or authority that available tools cannot recover. For a genuine blocker, report what you tried, what remains, and the smallest action needed. Respect explicit stop requests and access controls.`
