+# Launcher 0.2.8: Fabric Agent Adapter 0.35.0
+
+## Objective and plan
+
+Deliver the adapter's host-hook compatibility changes through the launcher by
+moving `family.json` from `v0.34.1` to `v0.35.0` and synchronizing launcher version
+`0.2.8`. This supports organization track RM-05; local task state is PC-44 in
+[the backlog](../backlog.md). The adapter owns implementation and native-host
+acceptance; this repository owns its pinned distribution.
+
+Custom task-pipeline profile: inspect current source and release rules, acquire
+Git leases, update the pin and version, run the existing release gates, then push
+a reviewable PR. No new runtime behavior or model selection is introduced.
+The integrator explicitly requires adapter publication before launcher merge/tag.
+
+| Requirement | Verification | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| REQ-001: launcher version 0.2.8 and adapter pin v0.35.0 | package/plugin manifests, `family.json`, top changelog, `npm test` | passed |
+| REQ-002: tagged payload can be validated and packed | clone-only release vendor, strict marketplace/member validation, packed smoke | passed |
+| REQ-003: durable PR with release dependency preserved | pushed branch, PR, this handoff | passed; dependency hold retained |
+
+## Decisions and boundaries
+
+- Base: `origin/main` at `cd4ae5c`, zero commits behind at intake. Work is isolated
+  on `codex/launcher-adapter-035`; existing checkouts remain untouched.
+- Sources: [AGENTS](../../AGENTS.md), [CONTRIBUTING](../../CONTRIBUTING.md),
+  [release rules](../../plugin/passioncode/skills/working-in-passioncode/references/releasing.md),
+  [documentation index](../README.md), `family.json`, and the adapter release.
+- Coordination: Git leases for the guarded pin, changelog and backlog; local `fs`
+  awareness only. Fabric board is unavailable to the current session because no
+  project is bound. No board message or admission is claimed.
+- Generated payloads, temporary test homes and coordination records stay local
+  and ignored. No private machine configuration belongs in this change.
+- No new tests mirror the version literals; existing manifest, vendor and packed
+  install tests provide the relevant release checks.
+- Knowledge-base version propagation and local installation belong to the
+  integrating release run. A pushed PR is neither publication nor installation.
+
+## Checks and receipt
+
+Local checks, 2026-10-16:
+
+| Command | Result |
+|---|---|
+| `npm test` | exit 0; 148 passed, zero failed/skipped/cancelled |
+| `PASSIONCODE_VENDOR_CLONE=1 npm run vendor:release` | exit 0; adapter 0.35.0 at `766dde0abadd929bcdb88a0d90fed23c114c3a7a`, Observatory Log 0.18.0 at `4c68decefd21`, self 0.2.8 |
+| `claude plugin validate ./payload --strict` | exit 0 |
+| `claude plugin validate ./payload/plugins/fabric-agent-adapter --strict` | exit 0 |
+| `claude plugin validate ./payload/plugins/observatory-log --strict` | exit 0 |
+| `claude plugin validate ./payload/plugins/passioncode --strict` | exit 0 |
+| `node scripts/smoke-pack.mjs` | exit 0; PASS on Node v26.10.0, archive 119 files; update/status/unsupported dry-run/uninstall/repeat uninstall/restore |
+| `git diff --check` | exit 0 |
+
+Packed smoke integrity:
+`sha512-jaCV5wo1skdt5K/D/4Gz4RMqjuqA8DiBi/vI/d8MrQDR1NW4SzY77w1Tzr986VQO9QVgUBNUyd9klkwIk6KoAw==`.
+This is a local archive receipt, not an npm publication receipt. Packed smoke
+uses a fake Claude CLI and does not prove host-native hook execution.
+Hosted validation has not been dispatched; publication and installation are open.
+
+Optional brand lint (`brand_lint.py docs/brand` from super-ux 0.59.3) returned
+exit 2: three B021 stale help registry entries and five B022 unregistered strings.
+Those source/registry files have zero diff from the base. PC-45 records this
+existing maintenance work; it is not presented as a passing check. The configured
+brand sources omit the changelog. The new release entry received a manual pass
+against the docs/help register and the adapter release: no promotional claim or
+automatic host-activation claim. Humanization: on, own pass, wording unchanged.
+
+Lesson: a package pin and packed install receipt prove distribution; native host
+acceptance and global installation require the adapter's separate receipts.
+
+## Next task and wait
+
+Source commit `084ddb9476374eb81d665bb143a1bd7c6a00e819` was pushed and verified
+against the remote branch. [PR #106](https://github.com/passioncode-ai/passioncode/pull/106)
+contains the reviewed release candidate and this receipt.
+
+Wait for the integrating adapter owner to
+confirm `v0.35.0` publication before merging or tagging launcher `v0.2.8`.
+Watcher: the active integrating release session; fallback is this handoff.
+After publication, verify the exact dependency tag, land the checked launcher
+commit, run the release workflow, verify npm metadata and tarball integrity,
+update the installation, and close PC-44 with receipts.
