-## Unreleased
+## 0.2.5 — 2026-10-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Agent Status and the native helper no longer show or try to resume Codex
+  Guardian reviewer / subagent sub-sessions, which could fill recent-task
+  slots and fail with "cannot resume a live Guardian reviewer" (reported by
+  Paweł Lipkowski). Internal threads are excluded in SQL from structured
+  metadata (`thread_source`, JSON `source.subagent`, `agent_path`, and
+  spawn-edge children) before the 12-row limit. A user chat titled
+  "Guardian" still appears. New Chat targeting uses the same user-facing
+  filter.
+- Map a missing, locked, or incompatible Codex SQLite database to the
+  existing `UNSUPPORTED` availability state instead of throwing and blanking
+  keys. Health and `npm run doctor` report the store when it is unreadable.
 
 ### Changed
 
-- Depend on `@elgato/streamdeck` 3.0.1.
 - Derive Model dial families from `models_cache.json` with the existing
   slug and reasoning allow-list, falling back to Luna, Terra, Sol, and Astra
   when the cache is missing.
 - Prefer `state_5.sqlite` and fall back to the highest-numbered
   `state_*.sqlite` when that default file is absent.
+- Depend on `@elgato/streamdeck` 3.0.1. Pin `brace-expansion` to a patched
+  override and update `fast-uri` so `npm run audit:full` and production High
+  audits pass.
 - Keep `test:fast` free of native helper spawns, including the Astra picker
   fixtures.
 
-### Fixed
+### Validation
 
-- Pin `brace-expansion` to a patched override and update `fast-uri` so
-  `npm run audit:full` and production High audits pass.
-- Map a missing, locked, or incompatible Codex SQLite database to the
-  existing `UNSUPPORTED` availability state instead of throwing and blanking
-  keys. Health and `npm run doctor` report the store when it is unreadable.
-- Agent Status no longer lists Codex Guardian / Guardian2 reviewer
-  sub-sessions, which could fill the recent-task slots and fail with
-  "cannot resume a live Guardian reviewer". Internal threads are excluded
-  in SQL from structured metadata (`thread_source`, JSON `source.subagent`,
-  `agent_path`, and spawn-edge children) before the 12-row limit. A user
-  chat titled "Guardian" still appears. New Chat targeting uses the same
-  user-facing filter.
+- Added regression fixtures for Guardian sub-session exclusion, SQLite
+  fail-closed reads, and cache-derived model families.
+- Audited all five bundled device profiles; generated sources match their
+  canonical layouts without changes.
