+## Executive Summary
+
+The most significant development this cycle is **GitHub MCP Server v1.0.0**, released April 16, 2026 — a major milestone marking the first stable release of the GitHub MCP Server. This brings new granular toolsets, feature-flag promotion for MCP Apps, and important changes to how features are gated. No gh-aw CLI releases were detected. The gh-aw ecosystem continues maturing around MCP tooling.
