 All notable distribution changes are documented here. This project follows semantic versioning for skill and plugin artifacts.
 
-## Unreleased
+## 1.2.1 - 2026-08-23
 
 ### Changed
 
+- Advanced Project Status, RunGlance, both npm package contracts, both MCP Registry records, and both provider marketplaces to `1.2.1` so every future npm/MCP publication can resolve to the same released source commit.
 - Aligned the repository publisher mirror with the live founder-operated Openly Useful authority while Openly Useful LLC remains formation-pending.
 - Made npm package readiness depend on direct founder-owner authorization, exact package/MCP namespaces, public-policy files, and deterministic release validation instead of LLC formation or provider marketplace review.
 - Normalized both npm CLI `bin` maps and made the combined MCP build mark its bundled commands executable so npm preserves every published command without manifest correction.
 - Kept npm account authentication at the actual registry boundary and retained marketplace, MCP Registry, deployment, and future LLC operation as separate workflows.
 
+### Release gates
+
+- The `v1.2.1` GitHub tag and all six deterministic release archives must resolve to the same reviewed merge commit.
+- npm package publication and MCP Registry submission remain separate actions and are not performed by this GitHub patch release.

+The distribution version is recorded in `VERSION`, both canonical component metadata files, generated plugin manifests, the Claude marketplace entry, MCP and monitor companion packages, and archive checksums. `node scripts/release-check.mjs` requires them to agree. Release `1.2.1` is the provenance-aligned patch release for the founder-operated publication gate and normalized npm CLI manifests merged after `v1.2.0`; the `1.2.0` line had already superseded the unpublished `1.1.0` source identifier because that identifier collided with a materially different cached Project Status distribution.
 
 `publisher/publisher.json` is the repository mirror/consumer of <https://openlyuseful.org/publisher/manifest.json>. Openly Useful is the publisher/developer brand. Openly Useful LLC is the planned publisher, operator, and licensee, but remains formation-pending and must not be described as already formed. The `.org` identity is the canonical open-source, publisher, policy, security, and support surface; `.com` is the studio/commercial identity. Component metadata points to the canonical public <https://github.com/Openly-Useful/project-status> repository and <https://openlyuseful.org/support>.
