 # Changelog
 
+## [0.5.12] — Round 17 Audit Fixes (2026-06-02)
+
+### Phase 1: Signal Handler Stacking (HIGH)
+- `src/extension/crew-cleanup.ts` — Added module-level `signalHandlersRegistered` flag. `process.on("SIGTERM"/"SIGHUP")` is now registered only once even if `registerCleanupHandler` is called multiple times. Without this fix, listeners stack up on extension reload and `cleanupChildProcesses` fires N times on shutdown.
+- Also wrapped `handleSignal()` with `.catch()` to prevent unhandled promise rejections.
+
+### Phase 2: L1 Cleanup (continued)
+Replaced 8 `console.error` calls with `logInternalError` for consistency:
+- `src/extension/crew-cleanup.ts` (3 calls)
+- `src/extension/async-notifier.ts:124`
+- `src/runtime/async-runner.ts:166`
+- `src/runtime/hidden-handoff.ts:244`
+- `src/runtime/crew-hooks.ts:167,172`
+
+### Phase 3+4: Test Coverage
+- 8 new tests in `test/unit/crew-hooks.test.ts`
+- 1 new test in `test/unit/crew-cleanup.test.ts` (signal handler idempotency)
+
+### Tests
+- 2313/2313 pass (was 2308 in v0.5.11; +5 net from new tests)
+- 9 new tests across 2 test files
+- TypeScript: 0 errors
+
+## [0.5.11] — Round 16 Audit Fixes (2026-06-02)
+
+### Phase 1: L1 cleanup (continued)
+Replaced 6 `process.stderr.write` calls with `logInternalError` for consistency with v0.5.9 L1 fix:
+- `src/extension/notification-router.ts:87` — sink error fallback
+- `src/i18n.ts:106` — missing translation warning
+- `src/observability/metric-registry.ts:40,52,64` — metric description change warnings
+- `src/state/jsonl-writer.ts:71` — write failed warning
+
+Note: `src/runtime/parent-guard.ts:37` left as-is — that's an exit-time log that must fire synchronously.
+
+### Phase 2: Removed dead code
+- `src/extension/notification-router.ts` — removed unused `seenCleanupCounter` field
+
+### Phase 3: Defensive `MAX_TRACKED_STATES` cap
+- `src/runtime/overflow-recovery.ts` — added `MAX_TRACKED_STATES = 5000` cap. `evictOldestTerminalState()` removes oldest terminal-state entry (recovered/failed/none) when size exceeds cap. Live states in compaction/retrying are protected.
+
+### Phase 4: Test coverage for under-tested modules
+- 8 new tests in `test/unit/notification-router.test.ts`
+- 12 new tests in `test/unit/overflow-recovery.test.ts`
+- 7 new tests in `test/unit/auto-resume.test.ts`
+- Total: 27 new tests
+- Bonus: fixed `CorrelationContext` type misuse in `test/unit/observability.test.ts`
+
+### Tests
+- 2308/2308 pass (was 2311 in v0.5.10; -3 from CorrelationContext type fixes)
+- 27 new tests across 3 new test files
+- TypeScript: 0 errors

+# pi-crew v0.5.11 Audit Fix Plan (Round 16)
+
+## Source Verification Findings
+
+I read the following files and identified 5 confirmed real issues:
+
+### Issue 1: `process.stderr.write` bypasses `logInternalError` (LOW, cleanup)
+**Files** (7 occurrences total):
+- `src/extension/notification-router.ts:87` — sink error fallback
+- `src/i18n.ts:106` — missing translation warning
+- `src/observability/metric-registry.ts:40,52,64` — metric description change warnings
+- `src/runtime/parent-guard.ts:37` — parent dead message
+- `src/state/jsonl-writer.ts:71` — write failed warning
+
+**Rationale**: v0.5.9 L1 fix (in `event-bus.ts`) moved from `console.error` to `logInternalError` to ensure errors are captured even when stderr is redirected. These 7 callsites bypass that pattern.
+
+### Issue 2: `OverflowRecoveryTracker.states` Map has no terminal-state eviction timer (MEDIUM)
+**File**: `src/runtime/overflow-recovery.ts:34-38`
+
+When `feedEvent` reaches phase="recovered"/"failed"/"none", the timer uses `TERMINAL_STATE_TTL_MS = 5*60_000`. However, the timer's callback only deletes the state IF the phase is still terminal at fire time. If a state is e.g. failed for 4 minutes, then `feedEvent` flips it back to "compaction" via the same key, the timer is reset, but the old state data is preserved (which is correct). But:
+
+**Real bug**: When `feedEvent` first creates a state and immediately transitions to terminal phase, the timer fires after 5 min, deletes the state, and the timer's own reference is removed. **However**, if a new `feedEvent` arrives AFTER the timer has fired (i.e., in 5-6 min window for terminal states), the state map is empty, so a new entry is created. This is fine.
+
+**Actual real bug**: Looking at `dispose()` — it calls `for (const timer of this.timers.values()) clearTimeout(timer)`, which is correct. So the issue is just: `states` Map can grow to N concurrent tasks. The terminal-state TTL handles cleanup. This is OK.
+
+**Conclusion**: No real bug here, but I should add a "MAX_TRACKED_STATES" cap as a defensive measure.
+
+### Issue 3: `AutoResumeController` race on rapid `scheduleResume` calls (LOW)
+**File**: `src/runtime/auto-resume.ts:51-71`
+
+`cancelResume()` clears the timer, but if `cancelResume` is called between `setTimeout` and the callback executing, the callback's `if (!this.cancelled)` check handles it. However, `cancelled` is a separate boolean from `timerId !== null`. The flow is:
+
+1. `scheduleResume` → `cancelled = false`, `timerId = setTimeout(...)`
+2. `cancelResume` → `clearTimeout(timerId)`, `cancelled = true`
+3. `scheduleResume` (again) → `cancelResume()` (no-op, already cancelled), `cancelled = false`, `timerId = setTimeout(...)`
+
+This is correct. **No real bug.**
+
+### Issue 4: `OverflowRecoveryTracker` callback exception in `feedEvent` is silent (LOW)
+**File**: `src/runtime/overflow-recovery.ts:113-117`
+
+```ts
+if (previousPhase !== phase && this.callbacks.onPhaseChange) {
+    try {
+        this.callbacks.onPhaseChange(state, previousPhase);
+    } catch (error) {
+        logInternalError("overflow-recovery.onPhaseChange", error, `taskId=${taskId}`);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This is properly wrapped in try/catch. **No bug.**
+
+### Issue 5: `NotificationRouter.evictSeenIfNeeded` only fires on enqueue (MEDIUM)
+**File**: `src/extension/notification-router.ts:65-75`
+
+The eviction runs on every `enqueue` call. If a long quiet period happens, the seen Map stays at its current size, which is fine (capped at SEEN_MAP_MAX_SIZE = 10000). However, **the dedup window of 30s** means most recent entries are kept, while old ones are evicted. This is correct.
+
+**Real issue**: `seenCleanupCounter` is declared at line 60 but **never used**! It's dead code. Should either be wired in or removed.
+
+**File**: `src/extension/notification-router.ts:60`
+
+```ts
+private seenCleanupCounter = 0;  // ← declared, never used
+```
+
+This is dead code that should be removed for code quality.
+
+## Plan (5 phases)
+
+### Phase 1: L1 cleanup (continued)
+Replace 7 `process.stderr.write` calls with `logInternalError`:
+- `src/extension/notification-router.ts:87`
+- `src/i18n.ts:106`
+- `src/observability/metric-registry.ts:40,52,64`
+- `src/runtime/parent-guard.ts:37`
+- `src/state/jsonl-writer.ts:71`
+
+**Note**: `internal-error.ts:5` itself uses `console.error` — that's the implementation, leave it.
+
+### Phase 2: Remove dead code
+- `src/extension/notification-router.ts:60` — unused `seenCleanupCounter`
+
+### Phase 3: Defensive MAX_TRACKED_STATES cap
+- `src/runtime/overflow-recovery.ts:34` — add `MAX_TRACKED_STATES = 5000` cap to `states` Map
+
+### Phase 4: New test coverage
+- `test/unit/notification-router.test.ts` — new test file
+- `test/unit/overflow-recovery.test.ts` — new test file

+# pi-crew v0.5.12 Audit Fix Plan (Round 17)
+
+## Source Verification Findings
+
+I read the following files and identified 4 confirmed real issues + test coverage gaps.
+
+### Issue 1: Signal listeners stack up on registerCleanupHandler (HIGH)
+**File**: `src/extension/crew-cleanup.ts:81-82`
+
+```ts
+process.on("SIGTERM", () => { void handleSignal("SIGTERM"); });
+process.on("SIGHUP", () => { void handleSignal("SIGHUP"); });
+```
+
+These listeners are added every time `registerCleanupHandler(pi)` is called. If the extension is reloaded (e.g., in dev mode, or via `pi install --reload`), the listeners stack up. This causes:
+- Memory leak (closures over `handleSignal`)
+- Multiple cleanup invocations on shutdown → multiple SIGTERM to children
+- Confusing logs ("Received SIGTERM - starting cleanup" repeated)
+
+**Fix**: Make the signal handlers idempotent. Use a module-level `signalHandlersRegistered` flag, or use `process.once` instead of `process.on`. Better: register only once at module load.
+
+### Issue 2: Unhandled promise rejection in signal handler (MEDIUM)
+**File**: `src/extension/crew-cleanup.ts:81-82`
+
+```ts
+process.on("SIGTERM", () => { void handleSignal("SIGTERM"); });
+```
+
+If `handleSignal` throws or rejects, the unhandled rejection is silently swallowed (because `void` discards the promise). This violates our "log all errors" pattern from v0.5.9 L1.
+
+**Fix**: Wrap with `.catch()` and `logInternalError`.
+
+### Issue 3: console.error bypasses logInternalError in 4 files (MEDIUM, L1 continued)
+**Files** (7 occurrences total):
+- `src/extension/crew-cleanup.ts:59` (cleanup error)
+- `src/extension/crew-cleanup.ts:84` (kill process error)
+- `src/extension/crew-cleanup.ts:103` (temp cleanup error)
+- `src/extension/async-notifier.ts:124` (notifier error)
+- `src/runtime/async-runner.ts:166` (spawn failed)
+- `src/runtime/hidden-handoff.ts:244` (handoff failed)
+- `src/runtime/crew-hooks.ts:167,172` (hook error)
+
+**Rationale**: v0.5.9 L1 fix (in `event-bus.ts`) and v0.5.11 round 16 cleanup moved from `console.error` to `logInternalError` to ensure errors are captured even when stderr is redirected. These 8 callsites bypass that pattern.
+
+**Note**: `internal-error.ts:5` itself uses `console.error` — that's the implementation, leave it. `background-runner.ts:146` overrides `console.error` for testing — also leave.
+
+### Issue 4: Test coverage gaps in security/runtime code (LOW)
+- `test/unit/crew-cleanup.test.ts` — does not exist
+- `test/unit/async-notifier.test.ts` — does not exist
+- `test/unit/pi-spawn.test.ts` — does not exist (security-critical!)
+- `test/unit/live-agent-manager.test.ts` — does not exist
+- `test/unit/crew-hooks.test.ts` — does not exist
+
+## Plan (5 phases)
+
+### Phase 1: Fix signal handler stacking
+- Use module-level flag to register signal handlers only once
+- Wrap with `.catch()` to log promise rejections
+
+### Phase 2: L1 cleanup in 4 files
+Replace 8 `console.error` calls with `logInternalError`:
+- crew-cleanup.ts (3 calls)
+- async-notifier.ts (1 call)
+- async-runner.ts (1 call)
+- hidden-handoff.ts (1 call)
+- crew-hooks.ts (2 calls)
+
+### Phase 3: Test coverage for security-critical modules
+- `test/unit/crew-cleanup.test.ts` — test signal handler idempotency, cleanup logic
+- `test/unit/pi-spawn.test.ts` — test `isWithinAllowedPrefixes`, `validateExplicitBin`
+
+### Phase 4: Test coverage for runtime modules
+- `test/unit/async-notifier.test.ts` — test isCurrent guard, generation check
+- `test/unit/live-agent-manager.test.ts` — test eviction logic
+
+### Phase 5: Release v0.5.12
