 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [2.80.1] - 2026-10-20
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **context:** strip a leading BOM before the SKILL.md frontmatter
+- **statusline:** clip a long status badge to one short row
+- **diagnostics:** keep the summary inside maxChars
+
+## [2.80.0] - 2026-10-20
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **commands:** keep an unsupplied  position as written in a custom command
+- **subagent:** count a subagent run only once it actually starts
+- **attach:** do not cut an inlined @file inside a surrogate pair
+- **checkpoint:** a bare out-of-range rewind index no longer matches a stamp prefix
+- **git:** split a space-separated paths argument in GitAdd
+- **mcp:** keep an MCP tool result inside its size cap
+- **hooks:** never cut a hook denial or notice inside a surrogate pair
+- **sessions:** escape a literal underscore in the session file name
