+## [1.0.0-beta.64](https://github.com/ScriptedAlchemy/tracedecay/compare/v1.0.0-beta.63...v1.0.0-beta.64) (2026-10-01)
+
+
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* **sessions:** session-temporal stores written by earlier builds are refused until `tracedecay wipe --stale --yes` resets them.
+* **graph-db:** the test-helpers release_staging_rows_for_relational_head surface now applies production receipt semantics.
+* **global-db:** registries created by v1.0.0-beta.63 and earlier carry graph_scopes.db_relpath. The schema contract refuses that shape as the reset-required state for the "project registry" authority and leaves the table untouched; run `tracedecay wipe --all --yes` to recreate the profile. The `db_relpath` field is removed from graph scopes in `projects context` JSON and the project_context MCP result.
+* **global-db:** a registry whose code_projects table lacks the primary_root_platform, primary_root_bytes and primary_root_last_seen_at columns is no longer migrated in place. The daemon serves it in the reset-required state (authority "project registry"). Run `tracedecay wipe --all --yes` to recreate the profile.
+* **branch:** `tracedecay_status` `branch_diagnostics` no longer reports `serving_db_path`, `serving_db_exists`, `live_branch_db_path`, `live_branch_db_exists`, `nearest_tracked_ancestor_db_path`, `nearest_tracked_ancestor_db_exists`, nor per-branch `db_file`, `db_path`, `db_exists`, `size_bytes`, `parent_db_path`, `parent_db_exists` and `warnings`. The `tracedecay://branches` resource drops `db_file` and `size_bytes` and lists branches by name. `tracedecay branch list` no longer prints a per-branch size or `missing-db` flag. `branch-meta.json` is written without `db_file`; older binaries read such metadata as corrupt and fall back to single-store mode.
+* **sessions:** Codex admission ignores cursors of the retired per-session source identity; stores that still carry them beside observation rows must be reset with `tracedecay wipe --stale --yes`.
+* **contracts:** tracedecay_signature, tracedecay_derives and tracedecay_test_map refuse `id`; send `node_id`. LexicalFieldV1 no longer decodes snake_case variant names. @tracedecay/sdk is bumped to 0.11.0.
+* **global-db:** TRACEDECAY_ENABLE_GLOBAL_DB is no longer read. Use TRACEDECAY_DISABLE_GLOBAL_DB=1 to disable global accounting; an ENABLE=1 no longer overrides it, and ENABLE=0 no longer disables it. The dashboard accounting mode no longer reports enabled_by_env.
+* **sessions:** lcm_status reports payload_gc.last_gc_status as null for a store whose GC never recorded a status, instead of deriving ok/partial/failed from last_error; the next GC pass records it.
+* **cli:** `tool --json` successes (and first-class commands such as `tracedecay git status --json`) print the MCP tool result with the typed result under `structuredContent` instead of the bare application envelope.
+* **graph-db:** graph format 7. Sealed stores and replays from format 6 are superseded and rebuild cold; there is no migration.
+* **cli:** `tracedecay tool --json` refusals from typed application tools and from pre-owner failures print the MCP tool result with the record at `structuredContent.problem` instead of an application envelope or an untyped `{"problem": ...}` object. The problem detail union gains `daemon_unreachable`, and `@tracedecay/sdk` is 0.10.0.
+* **host-admission:** group-commit hook admission fsyncs ([#2685](https://github.com/ScriptedAlchemy/tracedecay/issues/2685))
+* **code-index:** `tracedecay gitignore` is removed and exits as an unknown command. index.git_ignore.v1 is retired, the settings patch no longer accepts git_ignore, and tracedecay_admin_project no longer has a gitignore_status action (@tracedecay/sdk 0.4.0). index.exclude.v1 and index.include.v1 now decide which files the code index, grep, ast-grep search and unmounted-files walks see, applied at the next daemon start.
+* **sessions:** release retention in micros; GC owner rows only ([#2680](https://github.com/ScriptedAlchemy/tracedecay/issues/2680))
+* **sessions:** retention.observation.reclaim_superseded_cursor_advances is removed; ObservationRetentionReport drops cursor_advances_reclaimed, cursor_advances_before and cursor_advances_after; LcmRetentionReport drops raw_rows_before and raw_rows_after.
