+### Files: Merge Carefully
+
+No files require manual merging in this release. All changes are to infrastructure files with no user content.
+
+---
+
+### After Upgrading
+
+1. Run `/skill-test catalog` to verify all skills are indexed.
+2. Run `/skill-test lint [skill-name]` after any skill edits to check structural compliance.
+3. If you've customized any team-* skills, review the updated versions — no-argument guard and `Verdict:` keywords are now required for all team-* skills.
