 - Live-model quickstarts treat model resistance as a safe outcome and run a

+- Automated WCAG A/AA scans and light/dark visual regression coverage for the
+  Console's primary operator workflows.
+
+### Changed
+
+- The Console now explains manual and LangGraph integration paths separately,
+  teaches the Action abstraction in empty states, and makes agent identifiers
+  directly copyable.
+- Agent configuration uses clearer neutral metrics, explicit Enforce and
+  Monitor controls, accurate saved-state feedback, and more precise action and
+  validation terminology.
+- Runtime endpoint and anonymous telemetry state are visible in Settings,
+  including the supported environment-variable opt-outs.
+- Background refresh is visibility-aware, non-overlapping, and uses bounded
+  exponential backoff during Console or network outages.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Manual argument editing retains keyboard focus instead of returning focus to
+  the action-name field.
+- Tables, tabs, loading states, navigation, badges, and integration choices now
+  expose correct keyboard and assistive-technology semantics.
