The handbook distinguishes committed product behavior, installer evidence and workflow authority. 2026.9.91 is the current repository release candidate: its suite record is signed, checksum-bound, Apple-notarized with status Accepted, and marked release_ready. Zynga distribution approval, agent certification, commissioning and production-effect approval remain separate gates.
Current evidence · 25 September 2026
Separate Fabric Executor and Fabric Studio apps; server-owned release approvals with automatic resume; streamlined certified-agent release flow; refined Studio authoring, conversation and overflow layouts; governed Ability correction and delivery; Git publishing using saved credentials without requiring a standalone CLI; and stabilized 2D Iconic Item execution.
The retained record binds release 2026.9.91 to source revision 15ab66ed, a signed release-mode build, an Accepted Apple notarization receipt and the final archive checksum. It does not certify an agent, approve a repository write or prove downstream delivery.
Release eras
Patch releases are grouped by the product outcome they advanced. Every released version remains listed in its era; the detailed engineering ledger stays in local-distribution/RELEASE-NOTES.md.
| Release era | Included versions | What changed | Boundary to remember |
|---|---|---|---|
| Governed release and Ability delivery Current era | 2026.9.85 · 2026.9.86 · 2026.9.87 · 2026.9.88 · 2026.9.89 · 2026.9.90 · 2026.9.91 | Server-owned release approvals with automatic resume; streamlined certified-agent release review and guided panel; refined Studio authoring workspace, conversation and overflow layouts; governed Ability correction runs, first-run overwrite review and draft PR delivery; model download progress restored; Git publishing using saved credentials (no standalone CLI required); idempotent Ability artifact provenance; Jira publication readback for comment-only updates; agent evaluation state kept outside the release tree. | 2026.9.91 is the current signed, checksum-bound, Accepted-notarization repository candidate at 15ab66ed. Release approval is server-owned but does not commission agents, approve repository writes or authorize downstream delivery. |
| Qualification and agent release | 2026.9.80 · 2026.9.81 · 2026.9.82 · 2026.9.83 · 2026.9.84 | Durable 2D Iconic Item qualification and independent disposable-project attestation; portable, exact-revision agent certification; refreshed installed revisions; direct Studio-to-Executor handoff and qualification recovery; imported-agent certification continuation; exact Toolsmith package resolution; clearer certification/release UI. | Qualification and certification do not publish, commission or authorize production effects. |
| Conversational authoring | 2026.9.46 · 2026.9.48 · 2026.9.50 · 2026.9.72 | Guided local-AI setup; live Trigger-to-stage graph; visible proposal, reviewer and retry state; retained questions, warnings and attachments; redacted diagnostic export; verified pinned Ollama and embedding-model provisioning on a fresh Mac. | A proposal, model review, package handoff or successful installation is not execution evidence. The 2026.9.48 build was signed, but its own notarization/team approval remained pending. |
| Governed Studio authoring | 2026.9.34 · 2026.9.35 · 2026.9.41 · 2026.9.42 · 2026.9.43 · 2026.9.44 | Flat Art resume and Unity-idle recovery; shared agent execution standard; exact repository ownership and image evidence; simplified repository setup; signed Studio-to-Executor packages; specialist review team, local SOPs, playbooks and repeatable evaluations. | Studio authors and evaluates drafts. Executor still owns installation, certification, commissioning, repository mutation and effect approval. |
| Credential-safe delivery and isolation | 2026.9.16 · 2026.9.17 · 2026.9.18 | Host-bound GitHub Enterprise PR transport, PR-access preflight and retained-push reconciliation; explicit delivery intent; durable status reconciliation; responsive Vision scanning; one retained run-owned Live-data worktree and branch receipt per Faction run. | Delivery intent remains separate from publication approval. A draft PR is not a merge, and neither proves downstream Sheets/Jira completion. |
| Local suite foundation and recovery | 2026.9.7 · 2026.9.8 · 2026.9.9 · 2026.9.10 · 2026.9.11 · 2026.9.12 · 2026.9.13 · 2026.9.14 · 2026.9.15 | Exact-revision certification recovery; safer reinstall and emergency-stop setup; stronger memory/RAG/Graphify lineage; Google OAuth; reviewed setup transfer; complete signed support payload; certified-package re-export; mixed-snapshot publishing; retained Faction publication recovery and expanded operator guidance. | Compatibility warning: 2026.9.14 omitted the production commit_parent adapter. Use 2026.9.15 or later for retained Faction publication recovery. |
Within each era, versions are ordered oldest to newest. The table prioritizes behavior an operator or agent author needs to understand; the engineering ledger retains the patch-by-patch detail.

Reference
Internal candidate status is not broad release approval. Apple notarization is not agent certification. Certification is not commissioning or an effect approval. A disposable Unity qualification is not permission to write an approved game repository. A draft PR is not a merge or downstream delivery.
The current suite supersedes the older 2026.9.15 handbook baseline, but the historical recovery notes remain useful for installations that have not yet upgraded.
