Highlights

• Plan Approval forwarding and harness hook execution now work correctly in native installations while preserving approval and evidence requirements.
• Native Kiro IDE installations now use the correct dispatcher for Plan Approval recovery and decision or answer mediation.
• Engine-routed waves are protected from conflicting serial lifecycle calls.
• Malformed review-finding rows now produce explicit diagnostics instead of having their columns guessed.
• Assumption Confirmation remains valid when preceded by a Markdown thematic break.
• Piped grep and rg commands without operands are correctly recognized as reading standard input.
• High-specificity keywords can trigger scope inference without being rejected by the general word-count threshold.
• The Windows PowerShell one-line installer now works when Version is omitted.
• Stable release publication has been restored and isolated from other release channels.
