 ## Highlights
 
-- **Context Manager Simplification:** Completed a significant refactoring of the
-  context management system to improve reliability and architectural clarity.
-- **A2A Usage Metadata:** Enhanced the Agent-to-Agent protocol to expose usage
-  metadata, enabling more transparent resource monitoring.
-- **Terminal & PTY Robustness:** Resolved several critical issues related to
-  terminal interactions, including Termux relaunch loops and PTY resize errors.
-- **Routing Optimizations:** Updated default auto-routing and bypassed
-  classifiers for specific tool responses to prevent orphaned function errors.
-- **Tool Execution Control:** Forced the `update_topic` tool to execute
-  sequentially, ensuring consistent narrative flow in agent interactions.
+- **Tool Registry Discovery:** Introduced tool registry discovery capabilities,
+  enabling automatic detection and registration of tools to improve
+  extensibility.
+- **Release Verification Improvements:** Enhanced release verification by
+  ignoring scripts during `npm ci` and preventing workspace binary shadowing.
+- **CI Pipeline Safeguards:** Strengthened the CI pipeline to prevent bad NPM
+  releases and ensure promote job failures are correctly surfaced.
