 # cotal-ai
 
+## 0.46.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- 9d745af: Add the local durable runtime adoption seam and report legacy manager continuity before a running update can be described as hot. `Runtime.adopt` is optional: runtimes without durable custody omit it, and the manager refuses by name rather than requiring a throwing stub on every adapter. `cotal update --self` reports the selected manager before a global install and hands `--space` / `--server` / `--creds` to the replacement child.

+- 18a0024: The manager hosts workflow runs. `run-start`, `run-resume`, `run-answer`, `run-status` and
+  `run-ps` are served on the manager's endpoint rails; a run is validated before anything is
+  recorded, driven in the manager's process under a per-run `run-driver` credential, and taken back
+  from its journal after a manager restart. `cotal run` is a client of that surface by default,
+  with `--local` keeping the in-process drive, now under the run's own `run-driver` and
+  `run-operator` credentials rather than `admin`; an answer's writes are pinned to the one pause it
+  answers. A user-auth mesh refuses the family by name until a run can carry its user's owner. A new `run` capability mints the family into an
+  agent's credential and injects the `cotal_run` tool, so an agent can write a cotal-lang program
+  and start it from a session. `run-answer` records the answerer from the caller's credential and
+  takes no `by`; `cotal run answer` drops `--by` on the hosted path. `spawn({ supervise })` is a restart policy the manager enforces in
+  place: `{ restarts, window? }` (default `10m`) until the budget is spent, then the seat is
+  retired and the next `turn` is L4002. A policy this host cannot honour is refused at accept.
+- e986173: Make manager `inspect` distinguish a stranded static slot from an unknown name through structured durable-state details, and make `attach` stop reconnecting when those details show the seat is gone.
