-## 2026-08-31 — Complete, readable Android release notes
-
-Android release metadata now keeps one overall title and summary plus a complete
-typed inventory of user-visible additions, improvements, and fixes. Stable
-change ids prevent duplicate records, selected highlights lead the expanded
-view, and compatibility boundaries remain visible without turning the compact
-notice into technical release documentation. Toast counts and previews are
-derived from the same non-highlighted changes the dialog and history render, so
-View all reaches every counted item. Older bundled changelog entries retain
-their existing rendering path.
-
-The Android 1.14.0 record was migrated to the complete schema and reconciled
-against its released Android changelog: four highlights, two additional
-improvements, ten fixes, and three compatibility notes. The dialog, full
-history, large-text toast, seven Android resource catalogs, legacy text
-fallback, Play note, listing copy, release-prep instructions, and validation
-tests were updated together.
-
-Structured release-note tests, focused Kotlin tests, Android locale and
-collection-API gates, rendered 360×640 dark-theme screenshots including 135%
-text, sideload APK assembly, Android lint, and diff checks passed.

 2. Before editing release files, show a temporary coverage ledger in the task
-   output. Map every selected Android source change to one stable change id and
-   one kind (`added`, `improved`, or `fixed`), and mark whether it is a
-   highlight. The ledger is review evidence, not a committed public artifact;
-   no selected user-visible change may disappear silently or be counted twice.
-3. Write one release title that describes the release as a whole. Do not let a
-   narrow feature name, internal project label, or poetic codename replace the
-   title users see in the toast and history. Follow it with a one- or two-sentence
-   summary that gives the release's overall outcome without becoming a feature dump.
-4. Select 1–4 highlights from the complete change inventory. A highlight is a
-   strong reason to care, not a second copy of the change: the app presents it
-   once in the highlight section and derives the remaining counts and previews
-   from non-highlighted changes.
-5. Include every meaningful user-visible addition, improvement, and fix in
-   `changes`, using plain titles and enough explanation for someone to recognize
-   the affected behavior. Internal refactors, tests, CI mechanics, branch work,
-   and debugging history stay in `RELEASE_NOTES.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, or engineering
-   records unless they materially change reliability, security, or compatibility.
+   output. Map every selected source change to exactly one placement:
+   `hero`, `secondary`, or `full-only`. Include the change kind (`feature`,
+   `change`, or `fix`) and a short reason. The ledger is review evidence, not a
+   committed public artifact; no selected source item may disappear silently.
+3. Choose exactly one `hero`: the strongest user-facing reason to care about
+   the release. Its summary is one plain-language outcome, and its 1–3 bullets
+   are distinct user benefits rather than implementation steps or filler.
+4. Use `secondary` for other important user-visible features and fixes. The
+   `toastDigest` counts only these items, excluding the hero. Preview the
+   strongest 1–2 secondary items in short phrases. If there are no legitimate
+   secondary items, set both counts to `0` and `preview` to `[]`; the app hides
+   the footer. Never invent an item to satisfy the layout.
+5. Use `full-only` for technically relevant details that belong in
+   `RELEASE_NOTES.md` or `CHANGELOG.md` but would make the collapsed update card
+   noisy. Preserve user-relevant trust and compatibility limits; omit branches,
+   worktrees, CI mechanics, debugging history, and private/operator context.
 6. Write each surface for its audience:
   - `RELEASE_NOTES.md`: concise Summary plus Added/Changed/Fixed; keep the
     deterministic Download and Install/Verify scaffolding intact.
   - `CHANGELOG.md`: complete, crisp public history for the released surface.
-   - `changelog.json`: overall title/summary, complete typed changes, selected
-     highlights, compatibility boundaries, and Play copy. Counts and previews
-     are derived; never author a parallel digest.
+   - `changelog.json`: curated hero, optional improvements, digest, Play copy,
+     and compatibility `sections` for older clients.
   - `playNotes`: Android-only themes within the rendered 500-character limit.

-v1.14.0 - Connections, delegated work, Git, and voice
+v1.14.0 - Connections that follow you

-Summary
-* Connections now recover cleanly across networks. You can also follow delegated agents, work with Git repositories, and rely on steadier voice, sessions, Threads, profiles, Assistant, and Clarify controls.
+Reliable routes
+* Keep Chat and sessions on the trusted Dashboard while optional Relay routes recover independently.
+* Preview delegated agent work and use the optional native Git workspace.
+* Use more reliable Continuous voice, Voice Focus, Assistant, Threads, profiles, and Clarify controls.

-Highlights
-* Connections recover independently — Move between LAN, Tailscale, and public HTTPS without mixing Dashboard and Relay authentication.
-* Follow delegated-agent activity — See lifecycle, progress, tool previews, and available read-only child history from the parent chat.
-* Work with repositories from Android — Review status, diffs, branches, staging, commits, and remotes from Chat or Settings.
-* Steer voice at any time — Stop or redirect Hermes while it is Thinking, Transcribing, or Speaking, including with accessibility controls.
-
-Improved
-* Release notes stay out of your way — A dismissible post-update notice keeps startup usable and leaves the complete history available from Settings.
-* Chat uses one consistent presentation — The overlapping clean-focus mode was removed while the separate Voice Focus experience remains available.
-
-Fixed
-* Wake-word detection starts reliably — Compatible native voice components are now packaged for every supported phone architecture.
-* The visible Sphere keeps moving smoothly — Foreground animation no longer falls back to a stepped ambient pulse.
-* Continuous voice keeps the microphone — The next listening turn waits for barge-in recording to release cleanly.
-* New chats keep the selected profile — Fresh drafts no longer reopen an older session or carry a Thread route into another profile.
-* Provisional Threads can be removed safely — Local removal and later session promotion no longer risk duplicate rows or server history.
-* Clarify keeps custom answers reachable — Other answers, keyboard Send, and expired prompts now behave consistently.
-* Browsing no longer interrupts another client — Passive Android observation does not claim a turn owned by Desktop, TUI, or another client.
-* Assistant sessions recover more clearly — No-speech feedback, recreated session state, and keyguard privacy now remain intact.
-* Protected Relay routes report the right problem — Authentication challenges are no longer presented as outages, while unsafe routes still fail closed.
-* Connections and sessions become ready sooner — Unavailable optional API and Relay routes no longer delay a healthy Dashboard or authenticated session history.
-
-Compatibility
-* Standard Chat, sessions, profiles, Manage, and standard voice continue to work without the optional Hermes-Relay Plugin.
-* The Git workspace and same-origin Relay extensions require Hermes-Relay Plugin 1.11.0.
-* Granular Device Control and the system Voice Focus overlay remain available only in the sideload build.
+Also improved
+* Wake-word detection now packages a compatible native runtime for every supported ABI.
+* Protected Relay health checks no longer appear as broken routes.

-# Windows Android build lane
-
-Hermes-Relay uses one machine-wide Android build lane on Windows. Every local
-worktree shares the same named operating-system mutex through
-`scripts/android-lane.ps1`. When commands use the wrapper, Gradle, Kotlin
-compilation, lint, tests, assemblies, connected tests, and APK installation do
-not compete for the same host resources and shared caches.
-
-This is a local developer workflow. CI jobs run on separate hosts and are not
-affected.
-
-## Normal use
-
-The Windows `scripts/dev.bat` commands and `scripts/android-prepush.py` acquire
-the lane automatically. For an ad hoc Gradle command, use:
-
-```powershell
-.\scripts\android-lane.ps1 gradle `
-  :app:testSideloadDebugUnitTest `
-  --tests "*ChatViewModelTest*" `
-  --console=plain
-```
-
-The wrapper waits until the current owner exits and releases the mutex. Windows
-also releases the mutex if its owner crashes; the next waiter reports that it
-recovered an abandoned lane. Use Ctrl+C to cancel a waiter without stopping the
-owner. A bounded wait is available when a caller has its own deadline:
-
-```powershell
-.\scripts\android-lane.ps1 --timeout-seconds 900 gradle :app:lintSideloadDebug
-```
-
-Check the lane without starting work:
-
-```powershell
-.\scripts\android-lane.ps1 status
-```
-
-`status` exits 0 when idle and 1 when busy. It intentionally does not expose the
-owning process's arguments because Gradle properties can contain credentials.
-
-Use `exec` for a connected/device workflow that must exclude every
-wrapper-managed Gradle lane, including explicit APK installation:
-
-```powershell
-.\scripts\android-lane.ps1 exec python scripts/android-gateway-certify.py <arguments>
-.\scripts\android-lane.ps1 exec adb -t <transport-id> install -r <apk>
-```
-
-Raw `gradlew`, Android Studio sync/build/run, and raw `adb install` do not pass
-through the mutex. Before using one of those paths, check that the lane is idle
-and keep all queued wrappers idle until it finishes. During final integration,
-close or pause Android Studio's automatic Gradle activity and let one
-coordinator own the sequence.
-
-## Final coordinator gate
-
-Run the final gates serially on the exact candidate head. Keep each focused
-test invocation narrow so it releases the lane promptly for other queued work.
-The coordinator then runs, in order:
-
-1. Focused sideload unit tests.
-2. Focused Google Play unit and policy tests.
-3. Android lint.
-4. Sideload and Google Play assemblies (or the release-equivalent both-flavor gate).
-5. Connected/instrumentation and physical-device checks when the change needs them.
-6. The explicit APK install only after every preceding gate passes.
-
-Do not run lint, both-flavor builds, connected checks, or installation in
-parallel. A timeout from an outer agent or terminal is not evidence that Gradle
-failed; use the wrapper's process exit and Gradle output as the result.
-
-## Resource policy
-
-The normal serialized path retains the repository defaults:
-
- the shared Gradle user home, wrapper distributions, dependency cache, build
-  cache, configuration cache, and compatible warm daemon;
- `org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4g`, `org.gradle.daemon=true`,
-  `org.gradle.caching=true`, `org.gradle.configuration-cache=true`, and
-  `org.gradle.parallel=true`;
- Gradle's normal worker selection inside the one active invocation.
-
-`--max-workers` limits workers only inside one Gradle invocation. It does not
-prevent another worktree, Android Studio, or an APK-install lane from running.
-Likewise, `--no-daemon` can still start a single-use daemon to honor the required
-JVM settings; it is not a cross-process isolation mechanism.
-
-Use a worktree-specific `GRADLE_USER_HOME`, `--no-build-cache`,
-`--max-workers=1`, or `-Pkotlin.compiler.execution.strategy=in-process` only to
-recover from a confirmed daemon/cache failure or for an explicitly isolated
-exception. Those modes discard normal cache and warm-daemon benefits, can use
-more disk and memory, and must still acquire the Android lane.
-
-If recovery is required, first preserve the failing output and verify that no
-other owner is active. Do not kill unrelated Java, Gradle, Kotlin, Android
-Studio, or ADB processes merely to clear the lane; an OS-abandoned mutex is
-recoverable automatically.
