Release notes
Use this page as the launch convention for public docs-relevant changes. The site does not need full versioned docs yet, but readers need to know when setup commands, hosting behavior, or safety guidance changes.
What gets a note
Section titled “What gets a note”Add a release note when a change affects any public setup or operating contract:
- daemon install, start, config, or port commands,
- MCP tool names, required fields, or edit behavior,
- Cloud login, org, relay, or Hosted vault flows,
- data custody or security promises,
- backup, restore, import, or migration guidance,
- troubleshooting steps that replace older advice.
Do not add a public note for internal-only refactors unless users or operators need to change behavior.
