 - [Phase 19.7]: v0.5.0 is tagged only when phase 19.7 is fully complete (plans 01-05 and phase verification); supersedes the earlier 19.7-02 Task 5 entry. Plan 02 closes without a tag; no intermediate framework tag for 19.7 work — User decision 2026-10-23: a minor version marks the finished MCP phase, not a partial one
 - [Phase 19.7]: Once the user confirms all in-flight msd-quick tasks are finished: release the framework as the next v0.4.x patch (carrying the quick patches and 19.7 work so far) and tag the held user-plugin fixes; plugins may be tagged mid-phase. Framework v0.5.0 stays reserved for full MCP usability at phase 19.7 completion — User decision 2026-10-23: plugins can be tagged now, framework 0.5 means the MCP phase is finished; wait for the user's word that the last quick agent is done
 - [Phase 19.7]: 19.7-02: pier serves 2025-11-25 clients through its own session router over StreamableServerTransport (Redis-shared sessions, D-25) and 2026-07-28 clients through the SDK stateless handler; plan 02 closed without a tag, pier ships opt-in in v0.4.4 (summercms_mcp tag plus mcp.enabled, default off)
+- [Phase 19.7]: Released framework v0.4.4 (e2759d6, changelog id 39) and sm-user-plugin v0.1.9 (3828a65; requires v0.4.3); sm-demo-app bumped to user v0.1.9 locally (a25444e, unpushed). Other apps not bumped yet — User go-ahead 2026-10-23 after all quick tasks finished; all release gates green at e2759d6
