+- **Locked `opentelemetry-api` 1.45.1 (CVE-2026-114603).** Transitive only, via `fastapi`
+  and `mcp`; no gflow code imports it. The advisory turned the `pip-audit` gate red on every
+  open PR.
+
+### Fixed

+- **`gflow credits` reads a balance again** ([#795](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/795)).
+  Since 2026-10-22 it failed on every account, because its token came from labs.google's session
+  URL, which now answers HTTP 410. `credits user`, `credits list` and the MCP tool
+  `gflow_get_credits` now open flow.google.com in the profile's browser and read the balance from
+  the app's own `nzlxg` reply. That is the number in Flow's account menu: it matched in 5/5 reads,
+  one of them after a 10-credit spend. It costs one browser launch per profile, nothing is
+  clicked or spent, and a profile in use by another gflow process reports `ProfileLockedError`.
+  The JSON keys are unchanged, but `sku`, `service_tier`, `user_paygate_tier` and
+  `subscription_credits` are now always `null`, because flow.google.com does not report them.
+  A sign-in landing is exit 3 (`--refresh` renews it). An app that never fetches the balance is
+  exit 31 (`FlowAppError`), never an auth error. Measured on two accounts, neither on a paid plan; a paid plan may shape
+  the reply differently.
+
+- **A video run into an existing `--project` no longer rewrites that project's title in
+  the local catalog** ([#1022](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/1022)).
+  `video t2v`/`i2v`/`r2v`/`extend` replaced the stored title with their `gflow-cli video`
+  placeholder, so `gflow data list projects` showed that for a project titled `my-project`
+  in Flow, and every run (images included) overwrote a project's `gflow-cli` source. Only
+  `gflow project create` and `rename` change a stored title now, and an empty title is no
+  longer kept as a real one. CLI and MCP share the fix. A title already overwritten is not
+  recoverable locally: run `gflow project rename <id> <title>` to restore it. Reported, with
+  the fix, by @error-Sench.
+- **2K image upscale on flow.google.com no longer fails when Chrome loses Flow's reply**
+  ([#1027](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/1027)). `gflow image upscale` and
+  the MCP upscale tool failed with `WireFormatError: Failed to parse SPrCad response ...
+  No data found for resource with given identifier` although Flow had upscaled the image.
+  Chrome dropped DevTools' copy of that reply on 6 of 12 measured upscales. The image is
+  now also taken from the file Flow's page builds for its own download, which held the same
+  bytes on 12 of 12. A refusal Flow does send still fails the run.

Verified by an e2e that drives the account INTO agent mode and carries its own neutered-selector control; run **twice**, because review fixes landed after the first run and it no longer covered the code. **The larger find:** an account's FIRST upload on this host is blocked by Flow's one-time *"Rights to use this image"* dialog, which renders *after* the file chooser hands the file over — so `_dismiss_dialog` never sees it and the driver spent 60 s waiting for a request the page had already declined to make, then advised re-encoding the image. Six runs on `ci-probe` close the chain: guard fires while the dialog is up → owner-authorised accept → uploads (`media_id 8914400f`) → fresh session uploads clean with `dialog: None`. The order was forced, because the dialog is one-off and accepting it destroys the failing state — so the guard was written and verified BEFORE anything was clicked, and its firing branch is now unrepeatable here. `maseQ` is confirmed **not** renamed (six uploads, three profiles), killing #719's top hypothesis.

A live create + `character show` read-back settles a contradiction between two of our own documents: `sent='Charon' stored='Charon' identical=True`, so the Capitalized canonical form round-trips and `CHARACTER_RECON.md`'s "preset id is the lowercased name" does not describe today's wire. Both docs also now record that `personalityNotes` is **Agent-scoped** per Flow's own editor copy, not a control on the audio engine. **A claim that was in the code is overturned:** the `_unported_form` entity guard said the submit "never produces a reply" and that the backend refuses — in fact `MZZa6b` replies with a null payload and the generation is **accepted and queued** (Flow types it `abra_r2v_8s` and renders it); the failure is the *observer*, which waits out `SUBMIT_REPLY_BUDGET_S` (60 s, calibrated on 4.0–4.6 s replies against an idle queue) and exits 9 while the video is still rendering.

A live create + `character show` read-back settles a contradiction between two of our own documents: `sent='Charon' stored='Charon' identical=True`, so the Capitalized canonical form round-trips and `CHARACTER_RECON.md`'s "preset id is the lowercased name" does not describe today's wire. Both docs also now record that `personalityNotes` is **Agent-scoped** per Flow's own editor copy, not a control on the audio engine. **A claim that was in the code is overturned:** the `_unported_form` entity guard said the submit "never produces a reply" and that the backend refuses — in fact `MZZa6b` replies with a null payload and the generation is **accepted and queued** (Flow types it `abra_r2v_8s` and renders it); the failure is the *observer*, which waits out `SUBMIT_REPLY_BUDGET_S` (60 s, calibrated on 4.0–4.6 s replies against an idle queue) and exits 9 while the video is still rendering.

[Lower Priority]` entry [Flow has never offered one], a full credit-spending generation on omni-flash, and #539's absence question, which stays open.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.62.0](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.62.0.md) (**#595 `auto` ≡ `classic` for images, verified 2026-08-28 on profile `ci-probe` — an account Flow had moved to the agentic cohort the day before — at ZERO Veo credits.** With no flags and no env vars the run logged `ui_driver.ui_mode.attempt_exit_agent` → `ui_driver.bound mode=classic ui_mode=classic` and generated a real 768x1376 JPEG (exit 0); the day before, the identical command on the same account bound `auto`→`agentic` and failed. The same log independently closed **#183**: `mode_switch_trigger` and `image_mode_tab`, the selectors it reported as unfindable, both matched. #591 was proven against the real 500-row catalog — **0** occurrences of the string `"None"`, 31 proper JSON `null`s, over a catalog holding 119 NULL-bearing rows. #592 shows exactly one `client.account_locale_cached` per command. Three items are recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted: the exit-28 abort on a *pinned* agentic account, the #597 batch inter-prompt guard, and any fresh announcement modal — the last two because all three accounts have already acked the current changelog, so no modal can be raised until Google ships the next one.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.61.0](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.61.0.md) (**#539 video-model refusal + #586 image-model refusal and server-side attribution, verified 2026-08-26/27 on profile `denon82`, ONE Veo generation total** — the video fix was proven by a **zero-credit A/B against the stashed pre-fix source running on live Flow**: the old code returned SELECTED for `veo-lite-lp`, a model Flow does not offer to this account, and for a deliberately ambiguous selector matching 3 entries; the new code refuses both with exit 18 naming what Flow offered. Model selection happens before submit, so refusals cost nothing and the A/B was free. The happy path still generates: `--model omni-flash` → exit 0, a real 2.2 MB `ftypisom` mp4, catalog recording `omni_flash`. Two items are recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted: three of #584's four navigation-settle sites were never exercised [no bearer refresh occurred in these runs], and #582's canary self-re-exec has its first real exercise tonight. Also falsified: #539's recorded note that the video picker uses a different trigger — the two constants are byte-identical strings, and the repeated empty menu captures were the capture's own fault.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.60.0](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.60.0.md)
 **"Was the playwright upper bound raised, and on what evidence?"** → [LIVE_VERIFICATION_playwright_1.61](LIVE_VERIFICATION_playwright_1.61.md) (**`>=1.59.0,<1.60.0` → `>=1.61.0,<1.62.0` verified 2026-08-05, 1 Imagen + 1 Veo credit** — the 2026-08-03 regression that motivated the bound does NOT reproduce on 1.61.0: a live `i2v` drove the full chain with `image_uploaded status=200` → `frame_attached` → `generate_captured status=200` with `startImage` parsed, where **1.62.0 hung silently at exactly that upload step**; live `i2i` local-ref attach passed outright [96.7s]. **1.62.0 stays excluded** — never root-caused. Also found, A/B-proven pre-existing on BOTH 1.59.0 and 1.61.0: Flow dropped the duration-tab UI, so **`--duration` is currently broken for i2v** — `UiSelectorDriftError` fires correctly [refusing rather than silently accepting Flow's default, #288] but the selector needs re-deriving; that is why the i2v proof was driven via the CLI without `--duration`, and Flow's own server-side `PUBLIC_ERROR_VIDEO_GENERATION_TIMED_OUT` means no finished mp4 is claimed).
 **"Where is the reverse-engineered wire protocol for a feature?"** → the `*_RECON.md` design docs: [CHARACTER_RECON](CHARACTER_RECON.md) (Flow character entity protocol), [IMAGE_UPSCALE_RECON](IMAGE_UPSCALE_RECON.md) (`/v1/flow/upsampleImage` wire). Naming convention: one `<FEATURE>_RECON.md` per reverse-engineered surface, kept as the durable spec after the feature ships. Pre-capture research recons: [ASSET_TAGGING_RECON](ASSET_TAGGING_RECON.md) (`@`-mention asset tagging — shipped in v0.40.0, see [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.40.0](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.40.0.md)).
 **"What was live-verified for v0.66.1?"** → [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.66.1](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.66.1.md) — **the two migrated-origin fixes, verified 2026-09-03 on profile `ffroliva` at ZERO credits, on BOTH sides of what was then read as a flapping rollout** (superseded 2026-09-04: the handoff is a one-way per-account flag and exit 36 is non-retryable since). On a real `flow.google.com` load `get_ui_driver` raised `FlowHostMigratedError` in **0 ms** (was ~36 s: ~8 s detect window + ~24 s crop cascade + 4 s URL settle), exit 36, `retryable: true` (then; `false` since 2026-09-04), `ui_driver.migrated_host_bail` logged; `await_url_settled` returned `null` in **0 ms** (measured 4018 ms before); and the locale was recovered as `en` from `html lang=en-GB` where the URL gave `null`. The no-regression half is the stronger evidence: minutes later the same command landed on the OLD host and completed **exit 0** with a real 768x1376 JPEG in 42.2 s, proving the host guard is scoped and does not short-circuit the working path. Three items recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted: driving the migrated frontend (still impossible, #639 stays open), the pt-BR recovery live (measured `html lang=pt` on `denon82` but exercised live only on `en-GB`), and the `en-GB`→`en` region reduction against a locale where region is load-bearing (`zh-Hans`/`zh-Hant`) — only two locales observed.

+| `gflow credits list` across every saved profile (#795) | `gflow credits list` | ✅ run by hand on the PR head (d9856b7f), 11 profiles: 4 read a balance, 7 returned per-profile errors (5 `/about` landings, 2 `ProfileEngineDowngradeError`) and the list kept the partial results. The `/about` hint was reworded after this run | $0 |
+| Project create/rename through the shared `_rpc_reply` (changed by #1034) | `gflow project create`, generation without `--project`, CLI and MCP | ✅ `test_project_create_e2e.py` 5 of 5 on the release tree (`denon82`) | quota (video submits aborted) |
+| 2K image upscale survives a lost `SPrCad` reply (#1027) | `gflow image upscale`, MCP upscale | ✅ `test_migrated_upscale_e2e.py` image tests passed on the release tree (`ffroliva`); on the PR, 10 of 10 across 5 runs.

+## Not verified
+
+- **`gflow credits --refresh` live**: blocker, no account here is stale in the way `auth renew`
+  fixes. `tests/e2e/test_credits_refresh_e2e.py` needs such profiles in
+  `GFLOW_CLI_E2E_STALE_PROFILES`; the stale-looking profiles from the `credits list` run land
+  on `/about` (no session, or Google's re-verification), which renewal cannot fix. Offline
+  tests cover the renew path.
+- **What `nzlxg[0]` means on a paid plan**: blocker, no account on a paid plan. On both
+  measured accounts `[0]` and `[5]` were equal and moved together; a paid plan may put a
+  different bucket in `[0]`, which would give a wrong number without an error.
+- **4K image upscale**: blocker, no account with a Flow Ultra subscription; both offer 4K
+  only as a disabled menu item (exit 22).
+
+## Not in this release
+
+- **#1026 (`auth login --browser internal`)**: PR #1032 is reviewed but not merged. It has not
+  been run against a live bundled-Chromium sign-in, which needs a person at the keyboard.
+
+## Pre-tag gates
+
+- `/gflow:check` on the release tree: hygiene, doc links, website PII, website mirror, council
+  memory, ruff, ruff format, pyright 0 errors; offline suite 5228 passed / 29 skipped (re-run;
+  a first run had one failure in `tests/composition/test_handoff.py`, which passes alone and on
+  the re-run: the version bump was written while that run was in progress).
+- `/gflow:doc-review`:
+  _Council verdict: YELLOW across all 3 auditors. No Tier 1 findings, no fictional claims.
+  Tier 2 fixed in the release-prep commit: the account count for #795 (two accounts, neither on
+  a paid plan) in CHANGELOG, PROJECT_STATUS and KNOWN_ISSUES; exit 7 and the paid-plan limit
+  in USAGE; the stale "credits returns 401" route in INDEX; the exit-3 row in USAGE; the
+  KNOWN_ISSUES version; a spike script still calling the deleted `routes.CREDITS`; the
+  `GFLOW_CLI_E2E_STALE_PROFILES` row; credits exit codes in the agent skill. Tier 3 deferred:
+  USER_GUIDE's labs.google credits-badge pointer, consolidating the 2026-10-20/21/22 body-loss
