## 2026-08-15 — v0.1.8 reconciliation

- Upstream `v0.1.8` was fetched and merged into the private fork; the stdin-only runner won and the old `-c` argv/auto-print plumbing is absent.
- Local SiftText-discovery gate and visual grounding helpers were re-ported into the upstream base.
- All five Canvas/SIMnet helpers, the Jira helpers, `smartbook_complete`, and the visual callables were preserved and verified.
- Runtime helpers moved to upstream's config workspace `~/.config/browser-harness/agent-workspace` (byte-verified, 110 domain-skills) and committed separately (`83586f4`); the tracked repo `agent_helpers.py` holds the upstream placeholder.
- Editable install reports `0.1.8`; daemon reloaded; doctor green (Chrome + daemon + connection); `117` tests pass.
- Fork `main` is pushed and synchronized at `c9dca1f` (merge commit).

## 2026-08-15 — warning

The built-in updater follows the private `origin` and does not independently merge later upstream releases. Future upgrades require a reviewed upstream fetch/tag merge, editable reinstall, runtime checks, and a normal push.
