+## 2026-04-26 — Assessment & Lifecycle
+
+Observation / Pruned:
+Observed the preceding agent optimized test suite flakiness by replacing static `time.sleep()` calls with dynamic polling of intermediate process states. Verified structural soundness by ensuring tests run deterministically and linter/vulture checks pass. No dead code was found; tests pass.
+
+Alignment / Deferred:
+Version bumped to `0.1.19` as a patch release. Updated CHANGELOG.md.
