fix: restore full CONTRIBUTORS.md and add checkpoint prune test entry (#8759) for PR compliance

- Restored all missing contributor detail entries from master that were
  absent on this branch, ensuring contributors.md matches the expected
  state after merge.

- Added HAL 9000 contribution entry for CheckpointRepository prune test
  isolation fix (issue #8759): isolated the prune scenario to a dedicated
  plan so it always starts with exactly 5 checkpoints.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Changed
+
+- **`agents session list` now displays full 26-character session ULIDs** (#10970): The Rich table
+  and Summary panel ("Most Recent" / "Oldest") previously showed only the first 8 characters of
+  each session ULID. This made the output unusable for copy-paste into `session tell`,
+  `session show`, `session delete`, and `session export`, all of which require the full
+  26-character identifier. The full ULID is now displayed in all output formats (Rich, plain,
+  JSON, YAML, table).
+
+### Security
+
+- **aiohttp upgraded to >=3.13.4 to remediate CVE-2026-34513 and CVE-2026-34515** (#1549, #1544):
+  Added an explicit `aiohttp>=3.13.4` dependency constraint to `pyproject.toml` to remediate
+  two high-severity open redirect vulnerabilities. Both CVEs affect the CleverAgents platform's
+  HTTP infrastructure including A2A server communication, tool source fetching (MCP servers,
+  Agent Skills), and agent-to-agent protocol handlers. The version floor ensures vulnerable
+  versions (<3.13.4) cannot be installed even if upstream transitive dependencies have loose
+  version constraints.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Restored `benchmark-regression` CI job to `master.yml` with `pull_request` trigger guard
+  (`if: forgejo.event_name == 'pull_request'`). The job was previously absent from
+  `master.yml`, causing benchmark regression testing to never run on PRs. The job is
+  informational only and is not in `status-check`'s required needs list. (Closes #10716)
+
+- **CI coverage job now waits for unit_tests** (#10714): Added `unit_tests` to the
+  `needs` list of the `coverage` job in `ci.yml`. Previously the coverage job ran
+  in parallel with unit tests, which could produce misleading pass results when
+  tests were still in-flight or had already failed. Coverage now only starts after
+  unit tests succeed, eliminating redundant parallel test execution and ensuring
+  coverage results are always meaningful.
+
+- **Bandit B608 f-string SQL in plan phases migration** (#10777): Replaced f-string
+  SQL construction in `a5_005_rebaseline_plan_phases.py` with plain string
+  concatenation. The `INSERT INTO _v3_plans_new ... SELECT ... FROM v3_plans`
+  statement used f-strings to interpolate `_ALL_DATA_COLUMNS`, which Bandit
+  flags as B608 (SQL injection risk). The constant is hardcoded and safe, but
+  the f-string pattern blocks tightening the bandit severity gate from HIGH to
+  MEDIUM (issue #9945). Replaced with `"INSERT INTO _v3_plans_new (" +
+  _ALL_DATA_COLUMNS + ") " "SELECT " + _ALL_DATA_COLUMNS + " FROM v3_plans"`.
+
+- **Diagnostics spec examples expanded to all 9 providers** (#5320): Updated the
+  `agents diagnostics` command examples in the specification to show all 9 supported
+  providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Gemini, Azure, OpenRouter, Cohere, Groq,
+  Together), matching the implementation from PR #3469. Rich, plain, JSON, and YAML
+  example outputs now reflect comprehensive provider coverage with accurate warning
+  counts and per-provider recommendations.
+
+### Added
+
+- `agents actor context clear` command to reset actor message history and
+  state while preserving the underlying context directory via `ContextManager`
+  (#6370).
+
+- **Plan checkpoint management CLI commands** (#8683): Added `agents plan checkpoint-list <plan-id>` and `agents plan checkpoint-delete <checkpoint-id>` commands. Listing output now highlights checkpoint ID, type, created timestamp, reason, phase, and decision linkage with a concise field summary footer across rich/table/json/yaml formats. Deletion supports batch IDs, interactive confirmation (skip with `--yes`), and structured JSON/YAML responses for automation-friendly scripting.
+- **Invariant Remove CLI Command** (#8530): Implemented `agents invariant remove <id>` command that soft-deletes an invariant by ID. The command displays a confirmation prompt before removal (bypassable with `--yes`/`-y`), outputs the removed invariant ID on success, and shows a clear error message when the invariant ID does not exist. Supports `--format` flag for JSON and YAML output. Full BDD test coverage and Robot Framework integration tests included.
+- **TDD: MCPToolAdapter.infer_resource_slots() TypeError with null properties** (#10470):
+  Added a TDD issue-capture Behave scenario that reproduces the bug where
+  `MCPToolAdapter.infer_resource_slots()` raises `TypeError` when the input schema
+  contains `{"properties": None}`. The test is tagged `@tdd_expected_fail` and will
+  pass (by inversion) until the underlying bug is fixed.
+
+- **Architecture Pool Supervisor Milestone Assignment** (#7521): Added a "PR Workflow
+  for Major Changes" section to the `architecture-pool-supervisor` agent definition
+  documenting the milestone assignment step for spec PRs. The agent now has
+  `forgejo_update_pull_request` permission to assign PRs to the current active
+  milestone after creation, improving traceability of specification changes within
+  project milestone planning. Includes BDD test coverage for the new workflow
+  documentation and permission configuration.
+
+- **Git Worktree TOCTOU Race Condition** (#7507): Fixed a Time-Of-Check-To-Time-Of-Use
+  (TOCTOU) race condition in `git_worktree.py` that could cause `git worktree add`
+  operations to fail under concurrent execution. The fix replaces the unsafe
+  `mkdtemp()` + `rmdir()` pattern with a parent-directory approach that maintains
+  the OS-level uniqueness guarantee throughout the entire operation. The parent
+  temporary directory is now persisted and properly cleaned up on both success and
+  failure paths. Comprehensive BDD test coverage validates the fix under concurrent
+  execution and confirms proper cleanup behavior.
+
 ### Fixed
 
+- **CheckpointRepository prune test isolation** (#8759): Isolated the prune scenario
+  (`features/db_repositories_cov_r3.feature:292`) to a dedicated plan (`drcov3_prune_plan_id`)
+  so it always starts with exactly 5 checkpoints, preventing state bleed from earlier
+  checkpoint scenarios in the same feature file.
+
+- **`LLMTraceRepository.save()` premature commit breaks UnitOfWork transactions** (#7505):
+  Replaced the unconditional `session.commit()` in `LLMTraceRepository.save()` with a
+  dual-path implementation that respects the UnitOfWork (UoW) pattern. When an external
+  session is provided (UoW mode), the method now calls only `session.flush()`, leaving
+  transaction control to the caller. When no session is provided (standalone mode), the
+  method creates its own session, flushes, commits, and closes it to ensure durable
+  persistence. This eliminates three data-integrity violations: premature commit of outer
+  UoW transactions, loss of rollback capability for subsequent failures, and a mismatch
+  between the class docstring ("Callers are responsible for commit") and the implementation.
+  Input validation for the `trace` argument was also added. Two new BDD scenarios verify
+  the session contract: `Repository save() calls flush not commit` and `LLM trace rolled
+  back when UnitOfWork transaction rolls back`.
+
+- **git_tools._get_base_env() TOCTOU Race Condition** (#7619): Fixed a
+  Time-Of-Check-To-Time-Of-Use race condition in `git_tools._get_base_env()`
+  where two concurrent threads could both observe `_BASE_ENV is None`, both
+  snapshot `os.environ`, and write potentially different snapshots. The fix
+  adds a module-level `_BASE_ENV_LOCK: threading.Lock` and replaces the bare
+  `if _BASE_ENV is None` assignment with double-checked locking: the outer
+  check keeps the warm-cache path lock-free; the inner check inside
+  `with _BASE_ENV_LOCK` prevents duplicate initialisation on the very first
+  concurrent call. Three new BDD scenarios in `features/git_tools.feature`
+  (with step definitions in
+  `features/steps/git_tools_thread_safety_steps.py`) verify caching identity,
+  content correctness, and thread safety under 20 concurrent threads.
+
+- **Unified provider factory: eliminate divergence between `create_llm()` and `create_ai_provider()`** (#10949):
+  Introduced `_create_provider_instance()` as the single internal factory so that
+  both public methods delegate to one place.  Creating a new provider now
+  requires changes in exactly one method.
+  - **Fixed API key regression**: the unified factory now explicitly passes
+    the validated API key to all LangChain constructors (OpenAI, Anthropic,
+    Google / Gemini, Azure, Groq, Together, Cohere, and OpenRouter).  Users
+    who configure providers via `CLEVERAGENTS_`-prefixed variables are no
+    longer silently failed when LangChain falls back to raw environment
+    variable lookup.  Pre-validated keys are forwarded through the
+    `api_key` kwarg to avoid a second settings lookup in the factory
+    closure. (Closes #10949)
+  - **Fixed mock provider accessibility in production**: `ProviderType.MOCK`
+    is now gated by the `CLEVERAGENTS_ALLOW_MOCK_PROVIDER=true` sentinel
+    environment variable.  Without this flag, both `create_llm()` and
+    `create_ai_provider()` raise `ValueError` when MOCK is requested,
+    preventing accidental or malicious use of the fake LLM in production.
+    `resolve_provider_by_name("mock")` now also respects the guard and
+    `is_provider_configured(ProviderType.MOCK)` returns `True` as expected.
+  - **Fixed type annotation**: `create_llm()` now declares `**kwargs: Any`
+    instead of `**kwargs: object`, restoring correct Pyright inference for
+    forwarded keyword arguments.
+
+- **`create_llm()` raises `Unsupported provider type: openrouter`** (#10948): Fixed
+  `ProviderRegistry._create_provider_llm()` missing an `OPENROUTER` branch, which
+  caused `agents actor run openrouter/<model>` to fail with `ValueError`. Added a
+  `ProviderType.OPENROUTER` branch that creates a `ChatOpenAI` instance configured
+  with `openai_api_base="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"` and the OpenRouter API key,
+  matching the behavior of `create_ai_provider("openrouter")`. Supports optional
+  `default_headers` kwarg with automatic string coercion for non-string keys/values.
+
+- **LoadingThrobber Widget Restored** (#6357): Restored `LoadingThrobber` widget
+
+- **Built-in actors v3 YAML format** (#10883): Fixed `agents actor run` failing for
+  built-in actors (e.g., `openai/gpt-4`, `anthropic/claude-3-opus`) due to missing
+  v3 `type` field in stored configuration. `ActorRegistry.ensure_built_in_actors()`
+  now generates and persists v3 YAML text with `type: llm` and `description` fields,
+  ensuring built-in actors work identically to custom actors. The
+  `_generate_builtin_actor_yaml()` helper creates spec-compliant YAML that passes
+  `ReactiveConfigParser._is_v3_format()` validation. Includes BDD scenarios and unit
+  tests covering YAML generation, schema validation, and multiple provider handling.
+
+- **Atomic `server_connect` config writes** (#993): Fixed `server_connect` in
+  `cli/commands/server.py` to write all three config values (`server.url`,
+  `server.namespace`, `server.tls-verify`) atomically. A snapshot of the config
+  file is taken before any writes; if any `set_value()` call fails, the snapshot is
+  restored and compensating `CONFIG_CHANGED` events are emitted for already-applied
+  keys so the audit trail reflects the rollback. Added `emit_config_changed()` helper
+  to `ConfigService` for decoupled event emission in rollback flows. Added
+  `close()` method to `ReactiveEventBus` for proper resource cleanup in tests.
+  Resolved merge conflict in `config_service.py` integrating the PR's
+  `emit_config_changed()` helper with master's scoped config infrastructure.
+  Removed `# type: ignore[assignment]` by introducing a typed `_AutoDiscover`
+  sentinel class. BDD regression coverage in
+  `features/tdd_server_connect_atomic_writes.feature`.
+
+- **Atomic `load_from_metadata` for Autonomy Guardrails** (#7504): Fixed
+  `AutonomyGuardrailService.load_from_metadata()` to validate both
+  `AutonomyGuardrails` and `GuardrailAuditTrail` models before writing either
+  to state, ensuring atomic updates. Previously, a validation failure on the
+  audit trail after guardrails were already written would leave the system in
+  an inconsistent state with partial updates. The method now uses a two-phase
+  validate-then-write approach: all model validation occurs in Phase 1, and
+  state mutations only happen in Phase 2 after all validations succeed.
+
+- **`agents actor run` empty response for built-in LLM actors** (#10861): Fixed
+  `resolve_config_files` in `cli/commands/_resolve_actor.py` silently returning
+  empty output when invoked with a built-in actor name (e.g.
+  `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514`). Built-in actors generated from the
+  provider registry have a `config_blob` with `provider` and `model` fields but
+  no `type` field. Serialising this blob as-is produced YAML that
+  `ReactiveConfigParser` could not interpret (no agents, no routes → empty
+  `ReactiveConfig` → empty response). Fix: `_synthesize_llm_yaml()` now
+  synthesises a minimal v3 `type: llm` YAML when the actor has no `yaml_text`
+  and the `config_blob` has `provider` and `model` but no `type` field, allowing
+  the reactive config parser to create a working agent and graph route. BDD
+  regression coverage in `features/tdd_actor_run_response.feature`.
+
+- **ReactiveConfigParser route synthesis for v3 actors** (#10807): Fixed
+  `agents actor run` silently returning empty output for v3 `type:llm` actors.
+  `_build_from_v3()` and `_build()` now synthesise a default single-node
+  graph route when agents are created without explicit routes, ensuring
+  `run_single_shot()` can invoke the LLM via `GraphExecutor`.  The nested
+  `actors:` map format also translates the v3 `actor: "provider/model"` key
+  into separate `provider` and `model` keys so the correct LLM provider is
+  instantiated.
+
+- **ActorRegistry.add() spec-compliant YAML support** (#4466): The registry now
+  accepts actor YAML using the spec's `actors:` map format with nested `config:`
+  blocks, in addition to the legacy top-level `provider`/`model` format. The
+  `unsafe` flag and graph descriptor from nested config are now correctly
+  preserved during registration. Multi-actor YAML (>1 entry in `actors:`/`agents:`
+  map) is now rejected by `add()` with a `ValidationError`. Nested
+  `config.options` are now correctly preserved. The `unsafe` coercion now uses
+  strict `is True or == 1` instead of `bool()` to prevent truthy non-boolean
+  YAML values (e.g. `unsafe: "no"`) from being treated as unsafe.
+
+- **UKO Runtime Layer 2 (Paradigm) Indexing** (#9351): Added missing `rdf:type
+  uko-oo:Class` triple emission in `PythonAnalyzer._extract_class()` so that
+  Python class definitions are now correctly classified at layer 2 (paradigm/OO)
+  in addition to layer 3 (technology). Added the corresponding Behave scenario
+  `Indexing a Python file populates layer 2 (paradigm)` to
+  `features/uko_runtime.feature`, completing four-layer guarantee verification
+  for the UKO runtime.
+
+- **Actor CLI v3 YAML Schema Support** (#6283): Fixed three components to add
+  full v3 `ActorConfigSchema` support to the actor CLI registration and
+  execution paths.  `ActorConfiguration.from_blob()` now detects v3 format
+  (top-level `type` key of `llm`/`graph`/`tool`) and correctly extracts
+  provider, model, and graph descriptors — including `type: tool` actors
+  without a `model` field.  `ActorRegistry.add()` validates against the full
+  Pydantic v2 schema, persists `skills`/`lsp`/`description` in the config
+  blob, and compiles graph actors with proper metadata.
+  `ReactiveConfigParser._build_from_v3()` now uses correct `source`/`target`
+  edge keys (fixing `KeyError` in `to_graph_config()`), handles `config: null`
+  nodes without crashing, propagates `context_view`/`memory`/`context`/
+  `env_vars`/`response_format`/`lsp_capabilities`/`lsp_context_enrichment`
+  into agent configs, and validates `entry_node` against the nodes map.
+  Exception handling narrowed from broad `except Exception` to specific
+  `NotFoundError` and `ActorCompilationError`.  v3 registration logic
+  extracted to `v3_registry.py` to keep `registry.py` under the 500-line
+  limit.  19 BDD scenarios cover all v3 paths including tool actors,
+  update mode, LSP dict bindings, and field propagation.
+
+- **TDD Non-AssertionError Guard Visibility** (#8294): `apply_tdd_inversion` in
+  `features/environment.py` now emits its non-assertion exception guard warning to
+  both the structured logger and `stderr` via a new `_warning_with_stderr` helper.
+  This makes the guard firing visible in standard Behave console output and CI log
+  snippets where the structured logging sink may not be displayed. BDD infrastructure
+  coverage added: a new scenario in `tdd_expected_fail_infrastructure.feature`
+  asserts that the warning is emitted to stderr when a non-AssertionError exception
+  is encountered in an `@tdd_expected_fail` scenario, and a second scenario asserts
+  the warning is NOT emitted when the exception is an `AssertionError`. The
+  `CONTRIBUTING.md` now documents that `@tdd_expected_fail` step definitions must
+  signal expected failures via `AssertionError`.
+
+- **Parallel Behave Runner Log Noise Reduction** (#8351): The parallel behave
+  runner now suppresses captured stdout/stderr for passing worker chunks and
+  only replays diagnostics for failed, errored, or crashed chunks.  This makes
+  failure output significantly easier to spot in CI and local runs.  A worker
+  crash (unhandled exception) is detected via an all-zero summary and the
+  captured traceback is always surfaced.
+
+- **Bug Hunt Pool Supervisor Non-Blocking Tracking**: Updated `bug-hunt-pool-supervisor` to make the automation tracking step non-blocking. The `automation-tracking-manager` call in step 5 is now best-effort — if it does not complete within a reasonable time or fails, the supervisor skips it and continues to the next cycle. Added explicit rule 9 clarifying that tracking must never block the main loop. Core functionality (module scanning and worker dispatch) takes priority over status reporting.
+
+- **Name Validator Server-Qualified Format** (#9074): Updated actor, skill, and tool name
+  validators to accept the spec-required `[[server:]namespace/]name` format. Previously,
+  server-qualified names like `dev:freemo/custom-analysis` were incorrectly rejected.
+  Added BDD scenarios for server-qualified name acceptance and rejection. All three
+  validators (`ActorConfigSchema.validate_name`, `NAMESPACED_NAME_RE`,
+  `_TOOL_NAME_PATTERN`) now correctly support optional server prefixes while maintaining
+  backward compatibility with existing `namespace/name` names.
+
+- **Legacy CLI command removal** (#4181): Removed all legacy plan lifecycle CLI
+  commands (`tell`, `build`, `new`, `current`, `cd`, `continue`) and their
+  associated tests to support V3 Plan Lifecycle exclusively. Removed `tell` and
+  `build` CLI shortcuts from `main.py` that delegated to the deprecated commands.
+  Removed orphaned `_tell_streaming` dead code from `plan.py`. Updated help text
+  and command validation to recognize only V3 commands. Added `--format` option
+  to `agents session tell` for consistency with other session commands. Fixed
+  MCP logger thread-safety in `session.py` using a threading lock. Created
+  migration guide for users transitioning from legacy to V3 workflow.
+
 - **Automation Profile Silent Fallback** (#8232): `_resolve_profile_for_plan` in
   `PlanLifecycleService` now raises a clear `ValidationError` when a plan's
   automation profile name is not a known built-in profile, instead of silently

 ### Added
 
+- **ACMS Large-Project Indexing BDD Coverage** (#8726): Added 7 Behave scenarios
+  covering walk-based indexing of 10,000+ files without timeout, binary-file
+  skipping, oversized-file skipping, git-checkout indexing, fallback to walk when
+  `git ls-files` is unavailable on a non-git directory, and total-bytes budget
+  enforcement. Optimised fixture setup to pre-create subdirectories (99x fewer
+  syscalls). Added `timeout=120` to git subprocess calls to prevent CI hangs.
+  Cached `get_scoped_view` results in `When` steps to avoid redundant re-queries
+  in `Then` steps.
+- **Agent Evolution Pool Supervisor PR Metadata Assignment** (#7888): The
+  agent-evolution-pool-supervisor now automatically looks up the Type/Automation
+  label and the earliest open milestone from the repository before dispatching
+  improvement PR creation workers. Label and milestone IDs are passed to workers
+  via the dispatch context, ensuring all generated improvement PRs have correct
+  Type labels and milestone assignments. Graceful error handling skips label or
+  milestone assignment when either is unavailable. Added comprehensive BDD test
+  suite (7 scenarios) covering label lookup, milestone lookup, worker dispatch,
+  PR creation with metadata, and error handling for missing labels/milestones.
+
+- Wired `StrategyActor` into the real plan execution path: `_get_plan_executor`
+  in `plan.py` now resolves the strategy actor via `resolve_strategy_actor()`
+  (reading the `actor.default.strategy` config key) instead of always
+  constructing `LLMStrategizeActor`.  `run_strategize` in `PlanExecutor` now
+  passes `resources` (derived from `plan.project_links`) and `project_context`
+  to the actor so the LLM prompt receives full project context.  Strategy
+  decisions are serialised as JSON in `plan.error_details["strategy_decisions_json"]`
+  so `_build_decisions` can reconstruct the full hierarchy (dependency ordering,
+  parent/child structure) during Execute instead of rebuilding from
+  `definition_of_done`.  `StrategizeStubActor.execute` accepts `**kwargs` for
+  forward-compatibility.  Added BDD coverage for the stored-JSON path,

+- **ACMS Context Hydration**: Fixed ACMS indexing pipeline not wired into CLI —
+  `ContextTierService` started empty on every CLI invocation so LLM received zero file
+  context during plan execution. Added `context_tier_hydrator.py` that reads files from
+  linked project resources (via `git ls-files` or `os.walk`) and stores them as
+  `TieredFragment` objects in the tier service. Hydration runs automatically before context
+  assembly in `LLMExecuteActor.execute()`. Respects max file size (256KB), total budget

 ### Fixed
 
+- **Plan Concurrency Race Condition** (#7989): Fixed critical race condition in `execute_plan()` and
+  `apply_plan()` where concurrent CLI/worker sessions could simultaneously modify the same plan,
+  corrupting plan state. `LockService` is now wired into the plan lifecycle with plan-level advisory
+  locking. Each invocation generates a unique caller identity (UUID) to prevent re-entrant lock
+  acquisition by concurrent sessions on the same plan. Concurrent attempts now raise `LockConflictError`
+  instead of silently racing. Lock is acquired before phase transition and released in a `finally`
+  block to ensure cleanup even on error.
+
+- **`--format color` ANSI Output** (#7910): Fixed `format_output` routing the `color` format
+  option to `_format_plain`, which produced plain uncoloured text instead of ANSI escape
+  sequences. The `color` format is now routed to `format_output_session` which uses the
+  `ColorMaterializer` to emit proper ANSI-coloured output. `--format plain` and all other
+  formats remain unaffected.
+
+- **ContextTierService Thread Safety** (#7547): Added `threading.RLock` to
+  `ContextTierService` to prevent `RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during
+  iteration` and data corruption under concurrent plan execution. All public
+  methods (`store`, `get`, `promote`, `demote`, `evict_lru`, `enforce_staleness`,
+  `get_metrics`, `get_all_fragments`, `get_hot_fragments`, `get_for_actor`,
+  `get_scoped_view`, `get_scoped_by_resource`, `get_scoped_metrics`) now acquire
+  the reentrant lock before accessing the hot/warm/cold tier dicts. The service
+  was previously documented as single-threaded but registered as a DI Singleton,
+  causing potential data corruption when parallel subplans shared the same
+  instance. The `TierRuntimeMixin.enforce_staleness()` and
+  `ScopedTierMixin.get_scoped_by_resource()` / `get_scoped_metrics()` methods
+  are also protected. The DI container registration as `providers.Singleton`
+  is now correct and safe.
+
+- **TOCTOU Race Condition in Git Worktree Sandbox** (#7507): Fixed Time-Of-Check-To-Time-Of-Use race condition in `GitWorktreeSandbox.create()` by replacing unsafe mkdtemp+rmdir pattern with persistent parent directory approach. Parent directory is now held throughout operation lifetime and properly cleaned up in all error paths (timeout, CalledProcessError, OSError) and in the cleanup() method, eliminating race window where another process could claim the worktree path. Comprehensive BDD coverage added for all error-path cleanup branches.

+- **SubplanExecutionService fail_fast cancellation** (#7582): Fixed a race condition where
+  already-running parallel subplans were not cancelled when `fail_fast` fired. Previously,
+  `Future.cancel()` only prevented queued futures from starting but had no effect on
+  in-flight futures that completed after `stop_flag` was set -- their `COMPLETE` results
+  were incorrectly included in the merge output. The fix adds a post-completion guard that
+  overrides any non-`ERRORED`/non-`CANCELLED` result to `CANCELLED` when `stop_flag` is
+  active, and clears the associated output to prevent it from entering the merge. Also
+  replaces the O(n) linear `status` lookup in the `as_completed()` loop with an O(1)
+  `status_map` dict pre-computed before the executor block.

 - **Robot Framework TDD Listener Guards** (#5436): Added three guard conditions to the
   `tdd_expected_fail_listener` `end_test()` function to prevent blindly inverting ALL test

+- **ACMS Indexing Pipeline CLI Wiring**: `ContextTierService` was starting empty on
+  every CLI invocation, causing the LLM to receive zero file context during plan
+  execution. Added `context_tier_hydrator.py` that reads files from linked project
+  resources (via `git ls-files` or `os.walk`) and stores them as `TieredFragment`
+  objects in the tier service. Hydration runs automatically before context assembly

+  `robot/coverage_threshold.robot` — the underlying bug (issue #4305) is resolved and
+  the tag was inverting a passing test to a failure. (#5266)

CONTRIBUTORS.md

@@ -15,4 +15,24 @@ Below are some of the specific details of various contributions.
 * Jeffrey Phillips Freeman has acted as Lead Developer, daily contributor, and Project Owner.
 * Brent E. Edwards has contributed quality assurance, test coverage, and CI pipeline improvements.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed automated implementation, bug fixes, and feature development as part of the CleverAgents automation pool.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed concurrency safety improvements, including thread-safe context tier management (issue #7547) for parallel plan execution.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the plan concurrency race-condition fix (#7989): wired `LockService` into the plan lifecycle, guarding `execute_plan()` and `apply_plan()` with plan-level advisory locks and unique per-invocation owner identities to prevent silent concurrent state corruption.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the bug-hunt-pool-supervisor non-blocking tracking fix: updated step 5 to be best-effort and added rule 9 to prevent the automation-tracking-manager call from blocking the main supervisor loop.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the plugin entry point security hardening fix (#7476): enforced entry point allowlist validation before importing plugin modules to prevent malicious plugin loading.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the benchmark workflow separation (#9040): moved the benchmark-regression job out of the default PR workflow into a dedicated scheduled workflow, reducing median PR CI turnaround time from 99-132 minutes to under 30 minutes.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the agent-evolution-pool-supervisor PR metadata assignment (#7888): the supervisor now automatically looks up the Type/Automation label and earliest open milestone before dispatching improvement PR creation workers, ensuring all generated improvement PRs have correct Type labels and milestone assignments.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the decision recording hook for the Strategize phase (issue #8522): captures every decision point with question, chosen option, alternatives, confidence, rationale, and full context snapshot for replay and correction.
+* **CheckpointRepository prune test isolation (#8759)**: Isolated the prune scenario to a dedicated plan so it always starts with exactly 5 checkpoints, preventing state bleed from earlier checkpoint scenarios in the same feature file.
 * This project was made possible thanks to considerable donation of time, money, and resources by CleverThis, Inc.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed automated bug fixes, CLI output formatting improvements, and ongoing maintenance as part of the CleverAgents automation system.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the file edit encoding parameter fix (PR #8258 / issue #7559).
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the architecture-pool-supervisor milestone assignment feature (PR #8188 / issue #7521): added `forgejo_update_pull_request` permission and documented the PR workflow for major spec changes, enabling automatic milestone assignment for specification PRs.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the git worktree TOCTOU race condition fix (PR #8178 / issue #7507): replaced the unsafe mkdtemp() + rmdir() pattern with a parent-directory approach to eliminate the race window in concurrent git worktree operations.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the git_tools TOCTOU race condition fix (PR #8255 / issue #7619): eliminated the Time-Of-Check-To-Time-Of-Use race in `_get_base_env()` by adding double-checked locking with a module-level `threading.Lock`, preventing concurrent threads from writing conflicting environment snapshots.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the mandatory PR compliance checklist to `implementation-supervisor.md` (#9824): added an 8-item checklist to the worker prompt body with concrete items covering CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTORS.md, commit footer, CI verification, BDD tests, Epic reference, labels, and milestone assignment to eliminate systemic PR merge blockers.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the PlanResult.success derivation fix (PR #8214 / issue #7501): replaced the incorrect `error_message is None` heuristic with a dedicated `result_success` column in the plans table, ensuring plans with historical build errors are not incorrectly marked as failed after a successful apply.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed comprehensive milestone documentation for v3.6.0 (Advanced Concepts & Deferred Features) and v3.7.0 (TUI Implementation) (PR #9903): split into sub-documents covering context strategies, LLM backends, resource types, A2A rename, container tool execution, scope chain resolution, cost/safety budgets, E2E workflow tests, code review examples, plugin architecture, TUI layout, persona system, reference/command input, session management, configuration, and TuiMaterializer integration.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the LLMTraceRepository data-integrity fix (PR #8185 / issue #7505): replaced the unconditional `session.commit()` in `LLMTraceRepository.save()` with a dual-path implementation that respects the UnitOfWork pattern — flushing only when an external session is provided, and flushing + committing + closing when operating standalone. This eliminates premature transaction commits, loss of rollback capability, and a docstring/implementation mismatch.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the ACMS Index Data Model and File Traversal Engine (PR #9664 / issue #9579): foundational data structures for indexed context entries with hot/warm/cold/archive storage tier classification, tag system, and a timeout-safe chunked file traversal engine for large projects with 10,000+ files.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the error-suppression removal fix (PR #9247 / issue #9060): removed both `try...except Exception:` blocks in `register_registry_agents()` that silently suppressed errors from `actor_registry.list_actors()` and the route bridge refresh, enabling exceptions to propagate per CONTRIBUTING.md fail-fast policy. Added three Behave scenarios verifying RuntimeError, AttributeError, and TypeError propagation.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the Strategize phase full context snapshot fix (issue #9056): added `_build_strategize_context_snapshot()` helper to `PlanLifecycleService`, updated `_try_record_decision()` to accept and forward a `ContextSnapshot` parameter, and added BDD test coverage verifying all four `ContextSnapshot` fields (`hot_context_hash`, `hot_context_ref`, `actor_state_ref`, `relevant_resources`) are populated during the Strategize phase.
