 # Changelog
 
+## Unreleased
+
+## 0.23.0 - 2026-10-29
+
+### Added
+
+- An optional Anthropic provider extension for each Advisor. The native provider selector chooses the
+  separate `pi-delegation-policy.advisor-anthropic-auth` profile without changing the configured model,
+  thinking, background role behavior, standard Advisor profile or ContextShunt reader. Only an exact
+  managed-user installation of `@gotgenes/pi-anthropic-auth` 3.4.3 is admitted. Its normal configuration,
+  startup hook, aliases and account diagnostic command remain trusted host code; the diagnostic is
+  never invoked automatically. No provider package is bundled or installed by this extension.
+- Schema 10 stores the per-Advisor `providerExtension: "anthropic-auth"` opt-in. Schemas 2–9 migrate in
+  memory without surprise writes. When any opt-in is saved, companion envelope 2 binds the full state
+  to an Advisor-off schema-8 base: downgrading through 0.22.2 leaves all Advisors off instead of
+  silently choosing the standard profile. Ordinary delegation and the reader are preserved; saves
+  without an opt-in retain envelope 1.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Changing an Advisor model through the command or panel preserves its provider option. An
+  incompatible provider reports an Advisor error rather than silently removing the opt-in.
+- Provider choices stay visible in short, narrow terminals; Enter and Escape retain their normal
+  apply/cancel behavior. An invalid companion now reports that Advisor remains off when that is the
+  actual restored state.
+
+### Compatibility and verification
+
+- Pi 0.87.1 or later remains the package minimum. Missing public APIs disable only the optional
+  provider path. Advisor launch contracts still admit exact pi-subagents 0.76.1/0.83.1; the reader
+  remains limited to 0.76.1. No ambient extensions, model fallback or permission bypass is added.
+- One bounded fresh/background real-provider consultation with the new profile completed on
+  Pi 1.4.0 and pi-subagents 0.83.1. Metadata showed only the prompt runtime and provider bridge, no
+  required child extensions and no observed tool calls. This does not validate fork, consult_advisor,
+  other builds or permission runtimes, or establish a sole cause of the earlier failure. Provider
+  code is not sandboxed, version labels are not signatures, and resolution-to-load races remain.
+
+## 0.22.2 - 2026-10-28
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The Advisor no longer rejects a verified `pi-subagents` build. Each launch definition now declares
+  the exact list of package versions whose launch contract it was checked against: the Advisor admits
+  `0.76.1` and `0.83.1`, while the ContextShunt reader keeps its single verified `0.76.1`, so the
+  reader limit does not widen. Everything else in the launch check is unchanged: exact profile
+  projection and digest shape, exact model and thinking, host session binding, empty tools and
+  extensions, the pinned `@gotgenes/pi-permission-system` `33.0.3` runtime, and the terminal digest
+  binding. A build outside the list still fails closed before any request is sent.
+
+  The two contracts were compared from their real preflight payloads: they differ only in the package
+  version, the install path of the runtime extension and the digests derived from that path, and the
+  public fork wrapper is byte-identical. Admission and terminal binding were exercised in an isolated
+  host that answered with each contract's own digest. That does not cover provider transport, real
+  child execution or a real consultation, which remain unverified, and it does not explain the
+  Advisor failure reported on a forked session or the menu/status discrepancy; both stay open.

+### Provider extension
+
+Each Advisor has an explicit **Anthropic auth 3.4.3** provider option in the native panel. It selects
+`pi-delegation-policy.advisor-anthropic-auth`, a separate no-tools profile that preserves the installed
+provider extension's normal configuration, startup hook and account diagnostic command. It does not
+change the model/thinking, inherit all extensions, or alter ContextShunt. Only provider `anthropic`
+and an exact managed-user installation are supported; unavailable or incompatible setups fail closed.
+The account diagnostic is never invoked during initialization. With this opt-in saved, downgrading to
+0.22.2 leaves all Advisors off instead of falling back to the standard profile. Available from
