## Highlights

* **Hierarchical AGENTS.md as conversation context**: Agent instructions now resolve `AGENTS.md` files hierarchically and are injected as the leading user-role message of each turn, keeping untrusted workspace instructions below harness safety instructions in the instruction hierarchy ([#3501](https://github.com/everruns/everruns/pull/3501)).
* **Platform Chat for every user**: Each user gets a precreated, pinned Platform Chat thread, and the Platform Chat capability set is widened so it can drive more of the control plane ([#3508](https://github.com/everruns/everruns/pull/3508), [#3507](https://github.com/everruns/everruns/pull/3507)).
* **Capability deprecation lifecycle**: Capabilities can now be marked `Deprecated` (still functional, surfaces warn) or `Retired` (inert and hidden), and the `platform_management` capability was retired via the new lifecycle ([#3513](https://github.com/everruns/everruns/pull/3513)).
* **Unified `everruns` command tree for MCP and CLI**: A noun-verb command tree is now exposed over MCP, and a host can name the root token of its own command tree from the CLI ([#3490](https://github.com/everruns/everruns/pull/3490), [#3496](https://github.com/everruns/everruns/pull/3496)).
* **Safer provider onboarding and model management**: Provider API keys are validated before being stored, a configured key reliably produces a usable org, discovered models are adopted instead of conflicting on explicit create, and disabled models can be re-enabled ([#3516](https://github.com/everruns/everruns/pull/3516), [#3515](https://github.com/everruns/everruns/pull/3515), [#3517](https://github.com/everruns/everruns/pull/3517), [#3512](https://github.com/everruns/everruns/pull/3512)).
