Release Notes

Watcher robustness — arming after time away is quiet and can't go dark.

Fix: a large backlog no longer silently kills your watch. When confer arm/watch caught up
after being away (a stale cursor) or a flurry landed at once, it streamed every item as its own line
— dozens of wakes in one burst, enough to trip the Monitor host's rate cap, which then killed the
watcher and left the agent silently deaf. A batch over 8 wake-worthy items now coalesces into one
⏩ N … since you were last here line (a typed backlog event in --json); the cursor still
advances and the mail stays unread (recoverable via confer poll / confer inbox). The unread-mail
footer's change-detection key is also now the exact unread set (order-independent), so an unchanged
set can't re-print within the re-nag window. Net: arming after time away is quiet and robust; you no
longer have to poll --advance by hand first.
