+### Security
+
+- **PyYAML upgraded to >=6.0.2 to remediate CVE-2020-14343** (#9244): Added an
+  explicit `pyyaml>=6.0.2` dependency constraint to `pyproject.toml` to address
+  a known security vulnerability in older PyYAML versions that could allow
+  arbitrary code execution via malicious YAML payloads through the unsafe constructor.
+  The version floor ensures vulnerable versions (<6.0.2) cannot be installed even if
+  upstream transitive dependencies have loose version constraints.
+
 ### Fixed
 - **TUI Prompt Symbol Mode Awareness** (#6431): The prompt widget now displays a
   mode-dependent symbol (`❯` normal, `/` command, `$` shell, `☰` multi-line),

CONTRIBUTORS.md

@@ -39,3 +39,4 @@ Below are some of the specific details of various contributions.
 * 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.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the ACMS context path matching fix (PR #10975 / issue #10972): corrects `_path_matches()` and `_matches_pattern()` to properly match absolute fragment paths against relative glob patterns by auto-prefixing with `**/` before calling `PurePath.full_match()`, preventing silent inefficacy of include/exclude filters for absolute paths in fragment metadata.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the PyYAML security upgrade (PR #9244): added an explicit `pyyaml>=6.0.2` dependency to remediate CVE-2020-14343, establishing a version floor that prevents installation of vulnerable PyYAML versions that could allow arbitrary code execution via malicious YAML payloads through unsafe constructors; added BDD test coverage for YAML security validation.

+Feature: PyYAML security upgrade verification
+  As a developer verifying the PyYAML security upgrade

+  So that vulnerable versions of PyYAML cannot be installed through transitive deps

+    Given an isolated actor config workspace
+    And an actor config file "valid.yaml" with content:
