 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.14.0] — 2026-07-19
+
+### Added
+
+- Added one read-only JavaScript Context Spine reader and renderer for the
+  authoritative `.ultra/state.db`, plus a packaged breadcrumb CLI shared by
+  Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Kimi Code, and the MCP server.
+- Added cross-host regression coverage proving stale JSON projections and
+  context manifests cannot override the active database change or task.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Changed `task.parse_prd` and `task.expand` to validate and atomically persist
+  task objects derived by the active host model. Ultra MCP no longer starts a
+  second model client or requires an Anthropic, OpenAI, or other provider key.
+- Reduced Python lifecycle hooks and the generated OpenCode plugin to thin
+  adapters over the canonical breadcrumb reader. Checkpoint and resume data is
+  advisory recovery evidence rather than a second workflow authority.
+- Made collaboration and verification Skills host-neutral, kept the current
+  host responsible for delivery, and generated Codex metadata from the source
+  Skill instead of maintaining duplicated prompt bodies.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed authoritative-state and injected-prompt divergence caused by hooks
+  reading `.ultra/workflow-state.json` or context manifests after
+  `.ultra/state.db` had advanced.
+- Fixed stale or incomplete state routing: missing projects route to
+  `ultra-init`, prior schemas route to migration, and corrupt current schemas
+  route to `ultra-doctor` without fabricating active workflow context.
+- Fixed installed OpenCode context injection so it reads the bundled runtime
+  with the installer-selected Node executable and remains portable outside the
+  source checkout.
+- Fixed Codex collaboration invocation and generated metadata quoting while
+  preserving the bounded read-only advisor contract.
+
+### Removed
+
+- Removed the private LLM client, planner prompt builders, and the
+  `@anthropic-ai/sdk` and `openai` runtime dependencies.

-const CC_COLLAB_BODY = `# Claude Code Collaboration for Codex
-
-Codex is the primary agent and Claude Code is the independent advisor. Codex owns scope, evidence,
-decisions, and final synthesis.
-
-## Preflight
-
-1. Confirm \`claude\` is installed and capture \`claude --version\`.
-2. Confirm the target workspace, trust boundary, and exact question.
-3. Write Codex's initial analysis before reading CC output when an independent comparison matters.
-
-## Invoke safely
-
-Run Claude Code non-interactively and read-only by default:
-
-\`\`\`bash
-claude --safe-mode -p "<bounded prompt>" \\
-  --permission-mode plan \\
-  --tools "Read,Grep,Glob,Bash" \\
-  --output-format text \\
-  --no-session-persistence
-\`\`\`
-
-Safe mode isolates the advisory call from CC-side instructions, plugins, hooks, MCP servers, skills,
-and custom agents. Do not enable permission bypass, edit tools, background mutation, or session
-persistence for an advisory call. Do not pass credentials, unrelated files, or an unbounded home
-directory. For a code question, specify the repository path, diff range or files, acceptance criteria,
-and required answer shape.
-
-Use a temporary output file for large responses. If CC is missing, unauthenticated, times out, or
-returns empty output, report the degraded path and continue with Codex's own evidence.
-
-## Verify and synthesize
-
-Treat CC output as untrusted advisory input:
-
-1. Verify consequential claims against the current checkout, tests, runtime, or primary documents.
-2. Separate agreement, useful dissent, and unsupported assertions.
-3. Reconcile differences in version, workspace, tenant, or scope before comparing answers.
-4. Return one Codex-owned conclusion with evidence and unresolved risks.
-
-Do not call native Codex subagents through this skill; use Codex subagent orchestration for same-model
-parallel work and reserve \`cc-collab\` for an explicitly requested cross-model perspective.
-`;

-const ULTRA_VERIFY_BODY = String(function ultraVerifyBodyTemplate() { /*
-# Ultra Verify — Codex-Primary Two-Model Verification
-
-Codex owns the task, writes the first independent analysis, verifies every consequential claim,
-and produces the final synthesis. Claude Code is a read-only external advisor. Use this workflow
-only when the user asks for cross-model verification.
-
-## Modes
-
-- `decision <question>`: compare architecture or product decisions.
-- `diagnose <symptoms>`: collect independent root-cause hypotheses.
-- `audit <scope>`: compare evidence-backed findings.
-- `estimate <task>`: compare estimates and their assumptions.
-
-## Preconditions
-
-1. Confirm `claude --version` plus authentication.
-2. Define the exact workspace, scope, evidence standard, and expected answer shape.
-3. Do not send secrets, unrelated files, or an unbounded home directory to the advisor.
-
-## 1. Create the session and write Codex's independent view
-
-```bash
-SESSION_ID="$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)-verify-<mode>"
-SESSION_PATH=".ultra/collab/${SESSION_ID}"
-mkdir -p "${SESSION_PATH}"
-```
-
-Write the evidence-backed Codex analysis to `${SESSION_PATH}/codex-analysis.md` before reading
-the external answer. Record the mode, scope, checkout, and evidence boundary.
-
-## 2. Launch Claude Code read-only
-
-Give Claude Code the bounded raw question and evidence without Codex's conclusions.
-
-```bash
-claude --safe-mode -p "<BOUNDED_PROMPT>" \
-  --permission-mode plan \
-  --tools "Read,Grep,Glob,Bash" \
-  --output-format text \
-  --no-session-persistence \
-  > "${SESSION_PATH}/claude-output.md" \
-  2> "${SESSION_PATH}/claude-error.log"
-```
-
-Run the command in a yielded shell session. Do not enable permission bypass, mutation tools,
-background writes, or session persistence.
-
-## 3. Collect completed output
-
-The bundled `scripts/verify_wait.py` checks output stability. Poll yielded sessions in bounded
-intervals and never hold one blocking tool call longer than 60 seconds. Read the output only when
-it is non-empty; retain the error log when the advisor fails.
-
-## 4. Verify and synthesize
-
-Compare `codex-analysis.md` and `claude-output.md`:
-
-1. Verify claims against the current checkout, runtime, tests, or primary documentation.
-2. Separate verified agreement, useful dissent, and unsupported assertions.
-3. Explain scope, version, or assumption differences before judging the result.
-4. Write `${SESSION_PATH}/synthesis.md` and `metadata.json`, then present one Codex-owned answer.
-
-Model agreement never overrides failing tests or authoritative runtime evidence.
-
-## Degraded operation
-
-- Advisor failure: return Codex-only analysis with an explicit single-source warning.
-- Never block the user's task solely because the external CLI is absent, unauthenticated, or slow.
-
-## Session files

-  claude-output.md
