9 new changelog entries were written; the pre-existing [Unreleased] entries were reviewed and kept as-is.

The most significant gap: #215 landed the base skills: feature (runtime.skills, per-agent skills:, the bundled conductor skill, capabilities.skills) with no changelog entry at all. Every existing skills entry — discovery, path entries, injection bounds, native loading — described refinements of a feature that had never been announced. That entry now leads the Added section.

Changelog summary

Added — the skills: feature and its bundled conductor knowledge base; skill discovery from installed personal/project/plugin locations; filesystem paths in skills:; runtime.skill_injection budgets; claude-agent-sdk MCP-server and working_dir support; conservative scalar-wrapper unwrapping, recoverable non-object JSON, and the agent_parse_recovery event; dashboard sub-workflow nodes expandable before they run.

Fixed — nested array item schemas now enforced in output:; MCP connections closed by their owning task; non-ASCII output no longer over-truncated before semantic validation; inline sub-workflow expansion follows the live run across loop-backs; every historical sub-workflow iteration reachable from the dashboard; no more tracebacks on handled fail-open paths; malformed SKILL.md no longer fails silently; several parse-recovery fixes.

Changed — the claude provider now runs through Pydantic AI (adds a required pydantic-ai>=1.44.0 dependency, and claude now streams); claude-agent-sdk loads skills natively and no longer inherits ambient MCP config; claude-agent-sdk>=0.2.82 floor.

Two entries carry explicit behavior-change callouts: nested array validation now fails workflows that were silently violating their own declared schema, and claude-agent-sdk agents stop inheriting ambient CLAUDE.md / settings / hooks.

Lockfile note

uv lock re-resolution normalized away a redundant marker on secretstorage's own dependency edges (cryptography / jeepney lost sys_platform != 'win32'). This is a no-op for the resolved install set: secretstorage is only reachable via keyring under marker = "sys_platform == 'linux'", where != 'win32' is always true. Verified that uv lock on unmodified main is a no-op, so this surfaces only on re-resolution and is not a dependency change. Otherwise uv.lock contains only the project-version bump.

Diff scope

Only CHANGELOG.md, pyproject.toml, and uv.lock.

Next step

Merging this PR will be followed by tagging the merge commit v0.1.27 and pushing it, which triggers .github/workflows/release.yml to build and publish the GitHub Release.
