Summary

This PR updates the canonical v0.0.109 release entry for the August 14, 2026 tag.
It adds release-relevant changes that merged after the original release-entry PR and keeps dormant and test-only product surfaces out of the public release history.

Changes

  • Rename the dated v0.0.109 changelog file from August 13 to the planned August 14 release date.
  • Add release-relevant onboarding, gateway, inference, agent, Hermes, sandbox, installer, messaging-policy, and release-qualification changes merged after PR docs(changelog): add v0.0.109 release entry #9014.
  • Exclude PR fix(e2e): align Brev host SSH polling cadence #8923 from the public release history because it changes only the trusted Brev Launchable SSH readiness loop and no supported user workflow.
  • Preserve the required native MDX SPDX header and the existing release-entry structure.

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
  • Code change with doc updates
  • Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
  • Doc only (includes code sample changes)

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests not applicable — justification: This PR changes release-history prose and links without changing product behavior.
  • Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
  • Docs not applicable — justification:
  • Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight, onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
  • Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification:
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

Documentation Writer Review

  • Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
  • Result: docs-updated
  • Evidence: docs/changelog/2026-08-13.mdx was renamed to docs/changelog/2026-08-14.mdx, and the complete final release entry and PR text were reviewed against the documentation writing rules, documentation style, current source and tests, merged PR context, and the explicit test-only exclusion for PR fix(e2e): align Brev host SSH polling cadence #8923. The claims, release scope, MDX structure, published routes, and controlled terminology are accurate. npx vitest run test/changelog-docs.test.ts passed 6 tests; npm run docs passed with 0 errors and 2 existing non-failing Fern warnings; the published-route check, git diff --check, and commit hooks passed.

Verification

  • PR description includes a Signed-off-by: line and every commit appears as Verified in GitHub
  • Normal pre-commit, commit-msg, and pre-push hooks passed, or npm run validate:pr passed after refreshing origin/main when hooks were skipped or unavailable
  • Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — npx vitest run test/changelog-docs.test.ts passed 6 tests.
  • Applicable broad gate passed — npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — command/result: Not run for this documentation-only change.
  • Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or waivers
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
  • npm run docs builds without warnings (doc changes only) — The build passed with 0 errors and 2 existing non-failing Fern warnings.
  • Doc pages follow the style guide (doc changes only)
  • New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only) — Native dated changelog entries use the required MDX SPDX comment without frontmatter.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 86f6e

The release entry is documentation-only; its only noted issue is a minor wording ambiguity that does not affect product behavior, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

- Sandbox status and `start` now send one bounded inference request after the route responds, so rejected credentials report `unauthorized` instead of route reachability alone.
Ollama model switching waits for the selected model to load before recording its served context window, and local Ollama validation bypasses ambient host proxy variables.
GPU discovery now finds `nvidia-smi` on WSL and requires bounded CUDA evidence before accepting a plausible ARM64 GPU name that lacks trusted host identity.

Clarify which part is bounded.

If the intent is to bound the CUDA probes, replace requires bounded CUDA evidence with requires CUDA evidence from bounded checks. This wording is more precise.

Proposed wording
-  GPU discovery now finds `nvidia-smi` on WSL and requires bounded CUDA evidence before accepting a plausible ARM64 GPU name that lacks trusted host identity.
+  GPU discovery now finds `nvidia-smi` on WSL and requires CUDA evidence from bounded checks before accepting a plausible ARM64 GPU name that lacks trusted host identity.
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

8 terminology differences from the second opinion

Advisory only. These are normalized differences from the primary terminology receipt.

  • one-host managed vLLM at docs/changelog/2026-08-14.mdx:9: primary classified it as justified; the second opinion classified it as established.
  • standalone gateway authority at docs/changelog/2026-08-14.mdx:23: primary classified it as replace; the second opinion classified it as define.
  • Deferred N1x Express preview at docs/changelog/2026-08-14.mdx:9: selected only by the second-opinion lane as established.
  • supported-platform at docs/changelog/2026-08-14.mdx:9: selected only by the second-opinion lane as established.
  • lifecycle generation at docs/changelog/2026-08-14.mdx:21: selected only by the second-opinion lane as established.
  • fresh sandbox registration at docs/changelog/2026-08-14.mdx:21: selected only by the second-opinion lane as conflict.
  • still-qualified pairing at docs/changelog/2026-08-14.mdx:40: selected only by the second-opinion lane as justified.
  • editable onboarding review at docs/changelog/2026-08-14.mdx:8: selected only by the second-opinion lane as justified.

Second-opinion terminology and E2E selections are advisory. Live E2E does not run automatically for pull requests.

3 semantic terminology decisions

Terminology decisions are advisory. They affect the assessment only when a separate finding identifies concrete semantic impact.

  • established — Deferred preview at docs/changelog/2026-08-14.mdx:84: Retain “Deferred preview” for the labeled N1x path.
  • justified — one-host managed vLLM at docs/changelog/2026-08-14.mdx:9: Retain “one-host managed vLLM” because it identifies the N1x path's distinct topology.
  • replace — standalone gateway authority at docs/changelog/2026-08-14.mdx:23: Use “standalone gateway lifecycle authority” if the gateway's lifecycle responsibility is intended.

E2E guidance

Advisory only. A maintainer can dispatch the default E2E suite for the commit under review.

Recommended E2E: None
