+- **Tool and Validation Management Showcase** (#4565): Added
+  `docs/showcase/cli-tools/tool-and-validation-management.md`, a step-by-step
+  CLI guide covering the complete lifecycle for managing tools and validations
+  (register, list, inspect, update, remove). Demonstrates the unified registry,
+  capability flags, validation modes and wrapped validations. Indexed the new
+  example in `docs/showcase/examples.json` and added a callout explaining why
+  capability flags display as `(default)` in the detail view.

 - Wired `StrategyActor` into the real plan execution path: `_get_plan_executor`
