README: strip the "Previously, in 2.3" subsection per release direction —
the home page is now a single-version forward-looking surface with prior
releases linked off to the wiki Release Notes Index. Promote the
ScarfGo TestFlight callout to its own subsection with the public link
(testflight.apple.com/join/qCrRpcTz) embedded inline. Add a
"Connect ScarfGo to your Hermes server" five-step walkthrough between
What's New and Multi-server, mirroring OnboardingRootView's state
machine so users can follow it cold without opening the wiki first.
RELEASE_NOTES: extend the Under-the-hood section with the iOS-side
maintenance work that landed in the last 48h — Citadel
executeCommandStream rewrite (preserves stdout on non-zero remote
exit; was eating Skills hub Browse output), inline PATH=
prepend on every iOS runProcess (Citadel's raw exec channel doesn't
source shell rc files), fd-leak cleanup across the three transports
+ ProcessACPChannel, ServerLiveStatus 10/30/60/120/300s exponential
backoff for unreachable remotes, and the print() -> os.Logger sweep.
APP_STORE_METADATA.md: full App Store Connect copy ready for paste —
app name, subtitle, promotional text (153/170 chars), 2873/4000-char
description in three paragraphs (what / features / privacy),
brand-safe keywords (85/100 chars; no competitor product names),
support / marketing / privacy URLs, category, age rating,
1150/4000-char "What's New" text. Screenshots flagged as out-of-scope
for this prep pass — user captures from the simulator before App
Store submission. TestFlight checklist remains the canonical doc for
the in-flight beta submission.

Phase 8 of the v2.5 plan — fold the Hermes v2026.4.23 integration into
the existing v2.5 release artifacts rather than creating a v2.6 set.
releases/v2.5.0/RELEASE_NOTES.md:
- Lead paragraph extended to mention slash commands, chat parity,
Spotify, design-md.
- Six new sections: Portable project-scoped slash commands, Hermes
v2026.4.23 chat parity, Spotify + design-md skill onboarding,
SKILL.md frontmatter chips, "What's New" pill, state.db deltas,
hermes memory reset.
- All inserted before the existing "Mac global Sessions" section so
the Hermes-v0.11 work reads as the headline alongside ScarfGo.
README.md:
- "What's New in 2.5" lead bullets gain slash commands, Hermes v0.11
chat parity, Spotify+design-md, SKILL.md chips, snapshot pill.
- Test count bumped 163 → 179.
- Requirements: Hermes recommended bumped from v0.10.0+ to v0.11.0+
with feature attribution.
- Compatibility table: v0.11.0 row added as the current target;
v0.10.0 row demoted to "Tool Gateway introduced".
- Targeting paragraph rewritten for v2.5/v0.11.

Authored locally (not pushed). Phase D of the v2.5 release plan needs:
- A privacy policy at a stable URL before App Store Connect lets you
submit for Beta App Review.
- A pre-flight checklist so the Xcode + App Store Connect dance
doesn't lose state.
`scarf/docs/PRIVACY_POLICY.md` — minimal, accurate. The apps don't
collect data on developer-controlled servers (no analytics, no
telemetry, no ads, no IDFA). Covers SSH credentials, Hermes state
cache, the project + attribution sidecars, the network connections the
apps make. Ready to host on gh-pages at /privacy/ when the user opts to
push it.
`releases/v2.5.0/TESTFLIGHT_CHECKLIST.md` — step-by-step from Apple
Developer Program prerequisites through Beta Review submission, with a
beta-description copy block, "What to test" copy, and a rollback note.
Explicitly calls out NOT bumping versions manually (release.sh does it
in Phase G) and NOT enabling Push Notifications until APNs cert +
sender land together.
Both files stay local until the user pushes them — the checklist is
the user's reference, the privacy policy gets copied into the
gh-pages worktree when ready to submit.

Authored before `release.sh` so it gets included in the version-bump
commit auto-generated by the script in Phase G.
Highlights: ScarfGo iOS public TestFlight, Mac Sessions project filter
+ badges (parity with ScarfGo's Sessions tab), human-readable cron
schedules cross-platform, shared-services refactor, silent-failure
hardening on the iOS lifecycle, test-suite consolidation that fixes the
cross-suite factory races we hit during pre-release verification.
