[English](CHANGELOG.md) | [Simplified Chinese](CHANGELOG.zh-CN.md)

## 0.2.0-alpha.3 — 2026-08-27

- Repositioned Tick as a model-visible time-step primitive: “Give an agent
  another step without giving it another task.”
- Added run-scoped named time-step policies with immutable UTF-8 bytes and
  digest-based audit identity.
- Added explicit `--resume` across one latest interrupted recovery boundary.
- Added `/tick policies` discovery without model input.
- Preserved plugin-provenance counting across non-literal policy text.
- Added a provider-free protocol demonstration, release gate, packaging gate,
  Windows/Linux CI, protocol specification, experiment guide, contribution
  guide, security policy, and bilingual public surfaces.
- Clarified that Tick does not prove hidden thinking, autonomy, consciousness,
  or task improvement.

## 0.2.0-alpha.2 — 2026-08-23

- Corrected DSH profile loading so the named plugin module is mounted through
  the exported bundle patch.
- Added a real DSH rc.6 command-registry gate without provider use.

## 0.1.0 — 2026-08-23

- Initial bounded `/tick` loop.
- Literal plugin-provenance time steps, terminal gating, stop/status controls,
  and JSONL operational audit.
