 # Changelog
 
-## [1.6.3] - 2026-02-07
+## [1.6.5] - 2026-02-07
+
+### Refactoring
+
+- extract common agent-base.md template (PRJ-95) (#128)
 
-### Bug Fixes
 
-- replace console.error with logger in setup.ts (PRJ-74) (#126)
+## [1.6.7] - 2026-02-07
+
+### Refactor
+
+- **Extract common agent-base.md template (PRJ-95)**: Created `templates/subagents/agent-base.md` with shared project context (path resolution, storage locations, rules). Added `{{> partial }}` include resolution in `sync-service.ts` that resolves partials during agent generation. Updated all 9 agent templates (5 domain + 4 workflow) to use `{{> agent-base }}` instead of duplicated content. Saves ~200 tokens per additional agent template.
+
+## [1.6.6] - 2026-02-07
+
+### Improvements
 
+- **Type-safe error handling**: Added `getErrorMessage()` and `getErrorStack()` type guards to `core/types/fs.ts`. Replaced ~130 unsafe `(error as Error).message` casts across 59 files with safe `getErrorMessage(error)` calls. Fixed internal `as` casts in existing type guards (`isNotFoundError`, `isPermissionError`, etc.) to use `isNodeError()` guard instead. Zero remaining `(error as Error)` patterns in the codebase.
