# Talking Stick 0.13.0

Date: 2026-08-18

## Added

- **Working agreement in bundled instructions.** After join, `tt instructions show` now carries a concise plan → adversarial debate → implement contract: material-claim independent review, participating-member AGREE/veto, and close only on unanimous AGREE. Each known harness gets a default role plus a peer map; the shipped skill remains the ownership/wait/handoff floor.
- **Join member discovery and transition hints.** `tt join` returns a compact `members[]` list. Default JSON adds one short `hint` only on join, `your_turn`, terminal `not_yet`, and release/pass/assign — not on ordinary messages or events.

## Changed

- **Ancestor rooms cross nested workspace roots.** Existing-room lookup now walks past a nested Git or project-marker root up to the home boundary, so a child repo joins the deepest existing parent room instead of silently creating a sibling. New rooms still create at `workspace_root`; `--force-new` remains the only nested-create path. Joining an ancestor above the current workspace root emits an explicit warning.
- **Leaner compact join output.** Compact `tt join` JSON omits the static `policy` block; `--verbose` restores it.

## Fixed

- **cmux standby wakes submit.** Wake text no longer ends with a raw newline (which TUI composers insert instead of submitting). Delivery now sends the prompt, then a discrete `cmux send-key enter`; either failure reports the wake undelivered.

## Verification
