Nymrel Agent v0.4.0 adds a local-only Job Lifecycle contract, the read-only stdio plan_job MCP tool, and a concise deterministic Job Mode timeline. Lifecycle envelopes are caller-retained, bounded, body-free, hash-chained, and idempotent; they do not execute, schedule, persist, or authorize work. The hosted API remains the same metadata-only v1/v2 router with no Job or Lifecycle endpoint. The attached manifest binds the exact package and source archive to release source 70ee9e9. npm is not published by this release.
