 `AGENTS.md` is intentionally operational. It should not restate the full product brief from the `## Project` section below.
 
+### Capability / Usage Notes
+
+- Treat `Justfile` as the canonical source of build, test, run, and host-launch commands.
+- When a command changes, update `Justfile` first and then reference the recipe name here instead of copying the shell line.
+- Prefer `just ...` recipes over ad hoc shell invocations for repeatable work, especially for Windows-host builds and tray validation.
+- Keep capability and usage notes concise and action-oriented: say what exists, how to invoke it, and what not to assume.
+- If a workflow depends on a repo capability, document the recipe name, not an inline transcript of the implementation.

 ### MCP Capability Training (Concrete)
 
 Use `TurboLedgerService` in `crates/ledgerr-mcp/src/lib.rs` as the canonical contract.

 - Keep status/state outputs concise and obvious for small models; favor explicit fields over implicit behavior.
 - Before adding new custom infrastructure, confirm an existing crate/tool already solves it acceptably.
 - Distill durable session lessons back into this file when they affect future agent quality.
+- Keep concerns separated within every `AGENTS.md`: product direction, capability usage, and workflow rules should each live in their own short subsection.
+- Avoid mixing build commands into policy sections; route those details to `Justfile` so one file remains the executable build contract.

+## v1.5.0 - 2026-04-19
+#### Features
+- ship the Windows desktop host further toward an operator control plane with richer tray state, persisted tray settings, and a basic Slint chat window backed by `rig-core`
+- expose more host operational state and notification settings directly through the tray menu and persisted settings surface
+#### Refactoring
+- remove the mistaken `mistralrs` dependency from the host path and standardize the tray chat client on `rig-core` for OpenAI-compatible and local API backends
+#### Tooling
+- harden `Justfile` Cocogitto recipes with an `ensure-cog` guard so `just v`, `just validate`, `just changelog`, and `just release` self-check the binary before use
