 # Changelog
 
+## 1.9.0 — 2026-09-16
+
+- Add native BMAD `epics.md` intake while preserving the boundary that BMAD
+  plans and Triad executes.
+- Add shared immutable Assignment Context/Packet binding for Developer and
+  Reviewer work, including repository/worktree authorization and required
+  repository-skill path/hash verification.
+- Harden repository-mapping parsing and align runtime adapters and
+  documentation with the assignment contract.
+- Update Copilot custom-agent metadata to the current invocation model with
+  named Developer, Reviewer, and Evaluator contexts. Copilot CLI runtime
+  qualification passes; the VS Code desktop bridge remains host-dependent on
+  the tested host.
+
+## 1.8.1 — 2026-09-15
+
+- Preserve supported role model bindings from `.triad-plus/team.json` when
+  project-frontmatter adapters refresh managed agents during `upgrade --apply`.
+- Materialize OpenCode `reasoning_effort` as `reasoningEffort` and keep null or
+  blank values on the host default; Claude Code continues to manage reasoning
+  through its host configuration.
+
+## 1.8.0 — 2026-09-12
+
+- Add an optional Immutable Quality Contract with a deterministic Quality
+  Baseline fingerprint and fail-closed source-drift detection.
+- Add phase-scoped `product_quality` and `delivery_closure` criteria,
+  criterion-level Evaluator+ validation, and a deterministic aggregate
+  verdict.
+- Add deterministic Evaluator+/Delivery control-plane validation while
+  preserving legacy Triad+ 1.7 compatibility.

-## Optional BMAD Story import
+## Optional immutable quality target
 
-When BMAD planning has already produced a Story with `status: ready-for-dev`,
-you can convert one Story at a time into the normal Triad Card contract:
+An initialized project may bind an immutable JSON Quality Baseline through
+`project.quality_contract`. Triad fingerprints the canonical manifest, verifies
+all declared sources before running costly gates, and fails closed on malformed
+contracts or source drift. `product_quality` criteria are evaluated one by one
+by a fresh Evaluator+; `delivery_closure` criteria remain in the delivery gate.
+Projects without this opt-in continue to use the legacy PRD baseline path.
 
-```bash
-npx triad-plus import-bmad-story \
-  --source /absolute/path/to/story.md \
-  --output /absolute/path/to/control/features/STORY-001.md
+## Native BMAD handoff
+
+BMAD planning hands `epics.md` to Triad+ directly. Start the normal host entry
+point with the planning artifact (or its `_bmad-output` directory):
+
+```text
+/triad /absolute/path/to/_bmad-output/planning-artifacts/epics.md
 ```
 
-The importer is read-only and fail-closed. It preserves the Story's executable
-intent, acceptance criteria, technical context, and references, while any
-required gates or dependencies remain explicit caller options. It does not run
-BMAD workflows or add BMAD semantics to the Core. See the [BMAD integration
-guide](docs/bmad-integration.md).
+Triad deterministically detects Epic and Story sections, ingests multiple
+Stories without creating intermediate Story files, resolves repository and
+quality-gate readiness from the project-control workspace, and materializes
+normal Cards with source SHA/provenance. `epics.md` remains read-only. BMAD owns
+planning; Triad owns execution, verification, review, and delivery.
+
+`import-bmad-story` remains a low-level compatibility/API path for standalone
+ready-for-dev Stories, debugging, and automation. It is no longer the primary
+BMAD workflow. See the [BMAD integration guide](docs/bmad-integration.md).
