0.10.0: Stability hardening + Orbit Intelligence signatures
Per-tool deadlines, response size caps, retry + circuit breakers, attribution signatures, artifact chrome, and the new orbit_check_version tool.
- •Tool deadlines: every tool handler now runs under a per-tool timeout (default 60s, heavy tools up to 120s). No more hung MCP calls quietly blocking a conversation
- •Response size caps: outputs over 200KB are intelligently truncated with an _orbit_truncation block so Claude can still reason about what was returned
- •Retry with exponential backoff: every outbound fetch (Braze, Figma, GitHub) now retries 3 times with 300/600/1200ms delays on transient failures

0.9.0: Audit, hardening, foolproof e2e tests
20 audit findings resolved, full Braze region support, 58-test foolproof e2e test package, and a shared error classifier across all 54 tools.
- •20 audit findings resolved: cursor pagination fix, Braze auth-error classification (no more silent empty-workspace reports), all 54 tool handlers wrapped in shared error classifier, process-level uncaughtException and unhandledRejection handlers, concurrent-safe rate limiter
- •All Braze cluster regions now supported: US (iad), EU (eus, fra), Australia (au), India (ind) and any future clusters — dashboard URLs derived generically instead of a hand-maintained list
- •Dedupe: braze-sync.js now uses the shared Braze client instead of its own private copy. Bug fixes land in one place
