 # Changelog
 
+## Unreleased
+
+## 0.23.1 - 2026-10-29
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Advisor and ContextShunt reader launches no longer reject later `pi-subagents` releases solely
+  because their package version is not on an exact list. Both require a valid stable SemVer version
+  `>=0.76.1`, with no upper bound. Prereleases, invalid versions and non-string values are rejected;
+  build metadata does not affect precedence.
+- All other launch checks remain unchanged: contract and lifecycle version 3, definition projection
+  version 2, packaged profile and shadowing, exact model and thinking, tool and extension lists,
+  permission runtime, session identity and terminal digest binding. An incompatible preflight
+  still fails closed before a request is sent; a terminal mismatch still discards the reply.
+
+### Compatibility and verification
+
+- Pi `0.87.1` remains the package minimum. No dependency, configuration, schema, provider option or
+  permission change. Upgrade and reload; no configuration migration is needed.
+- The final loader was exercised against real `pi-subagents` `0.84.0` exports with a synthetic event
+  host on Pi `1.4.0`: Advisor fresh/fork and reader fresh completed with terminal binding. This
+  checks admission, not real child execution, provider transport or personal permission rules.
+  Version labels are not signatures or a guarantee of future compatibility.
+
+## 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.

+### 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

+and an exact managed-user installation are supported; unavailable or incompatible setups fail closed.

 ## Scope
 
-This project is a local Pi extension. It stores delegation policy data, model identifiers, and any configured per-role thinking policy in global defaults and session entries; it does not store the thinking level chosen for an individual run. ContextShunt is off by default. When explicitly enforced, it may keep a known successful text result in a private, session-only temporary file to serve bounded recovery; the file has an opaque ID, quota, cancellation check, and an absolute 30-minute TTL from creation. Cleanup is scheduled while the process is active and runs at shutdown, but crashes or OS suspension can delay deletion. It does not store credentials and makes no network request of its own; when one of its explicit tools asks an external executor to answer a bounded question, that executor performs the call. The reader accepts only the verified `pi-subagents` 0.76.1 launch contract; any other build fails closed before a request is sent. From `0.19.0`, the reader also admits the exact `@gotgenes/pi-permission-system` `33.0.3` runtime when the host adds it to the reader's child. The host owns its permission rules; the reader never reads or changes them, and an unverified permission entry fails closed. That runtime is trusted host code, not authority granted to the model. The check is an exact compatibility check, not a support guarantee. Versions `0.18.0` and earlier reject the extra runtime. From `0.20.0`, an enabled Advisor may be launched by the main agent with a forked context while the session fits in half of the Advisor model's window; the host then sends the conversation so far, including file contents and command output, to the Advisor's provider. Turn the Advisor off for sessions that must not reach that provider. The limits and privacy page of the wiki describes the details.
