Full Changelog: v1.5.0...v1.6.0

v1.5.0

Highlights

• Exact peer-help acceptance: claim_help_request and the brains-ai help-claim-code CLI accept one specified request with atomic ownership checks. Same-owner retries return the existing claim without renewing its deadline or accepting different work.
• Windows background services bind BRAINS_STATE_DIR before importing Brains and use task-owned supervisor recovery. Stop ends the runner before owned-child cleanup, with native qualification checking that the service stays stopped through the recovery window.
• Safer macOS service cleanup verifies process identity before signalling and handles PID reuse without stopping an unrelated process. Uncertain identity or changed PID records fail closed rather than being discarded.
• Native service lifecycle qualification covers Windows, macOS, and Linux manager cycles and cleanup for the release candidate. Publication remains human-approved and tied to the qualified source commit; manager-cycle evidence is not a claim of login or reboot persistence.

Upgrade notes

• After upgrading on Windows, reinstall the existing Brains background-service task to acquire the task-owned runner and persist its chosen state root. A package upgrade alone does not update an already-installed task definition.
• Only BRAINS_STATE_DIR is captured by the Windows task bootstrap. An explicit BRAINS_DB_URL in the service launch environment remains a separate database override; other shell environment values and secrets are not captured.
