+### 18:25 - release/1.0.0-alpha.71
+
+- Did: Added `verify-commit-signatures` workflow (copied from mcp-exec repo), consolidated duplicate `### Fixed` sections in CHANGELOG, added missing #122 fix entry, bumped version to 1.0.0-alpha.71, created PR #132 (auto-merge), published release after merge, confirmed 1.0.0-alpha.71 live on npm.
+- Files: `.github/workflows/verify-commit-signatures.yml`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `package.json`
+- Decisions: Used `feature/version-1.0.0-alpha.71` branch per shellicar-oss convention. Prompt status update to "in-progress" timed out (fleet repo outside working dir) but was resolved by the system. Release is a pre-release (contains hyphen) so `--prerelease` flag was used.
+- Next: Nothing. Release complete.

+### 20:23 - fix/sticky-zone-width-math (#133) Stage 2
+
+- Did: Staged and committed code changes from Stage 1 (src/ansi.ts, src/renderer.ts, src/terminal.ts plus leftover session-end files from March 27 release session), pushed branch, created PR #136 with Closes #133, auto-merge enabled.
+- Files: `src/ansi.ts`, `src/renderer.ts`, `src/terminal.ts`, `.claude/CLAUDE.md`, `.claude/sessions/2026-03-27.md`
+- Decisions: Bundled leftover staged session-end files from the March 27 release session into the code commit since they had not been committed. CI and CodeQL checks in progress; auto-merge will complete when checks pass.
+- Next: Await PR #136 auto-merge.
