 All notable package-level changes to `scriveno` are documented here.
 
+## 2.8.0 - 2026-05-30
+
+Feature release focused on command-surface control, one-unit proofing, context-health visibility, and safer release gates.
+
+**Command surface profiles**
+
+- Added installer profiles (`core`, `writing`, `publishing`, `translation`, `specialist`, `full`) so writers can install a focused command set instead of the whole surface.
+- Added `scriveno surface list`, `scriveno surface status`, and `scriveno surface profile <name>` with `--dry-run` support.
+- Added `/scr:surface`, a writer-facing command for inspecting and changing the installed profile without touching manuscript content.
+- Hardened command-runtime installs so Scriveno-owned mirrors are cleaned while unrelated user files are preserved.
+
+**Proof and context health**
+
+- Added `/scr:proof-unit`, a one-unit vertical proof path through voice, plan, draft, review, context health, and optional export-tool checks.
+- Added context-health estimation to the shared auto-invoke engine and `/scr:health --context`, with watch, tight, and critical thresholds.
+- The proactive status report now includes a `Context health:` line so long sessions show context pressure before another large operation.
+
+**Release and publishing gates**
+
+- Added `/scr:export --check` for format availability and external tool readiness without assembling or writing export files.
+- Added `/scr:publish --preflight` so publishing presets can validate manuscript readiness and required tools before generating deliverables.
+- Refreshed command inventory counts to 115 and added regression coverage for profiles, dry-run plans, context-health pressure, proof-unit, and preflight docs.

 - **Create** -- Set up a project with tailored context files. Progressive onboarding, never overwhelming.
 - **Write** -- Discuss, plan, draft, and revise one unit at a time. The drafter agent loads your Voice DNA and writes in *your* voice, not generic AI prose. Run `/scr:progress` any time to open a per-unit ledger (`.manuscript/PROGRESS.md`) showing what is done, in progress, and untouched.

-Version `2.7.2` publishes Scriveno under the package name `scriveno`, so the current install command is `npx scriveno@latest`. The older `scriveno-cli` package name is historical and was unpublished during the rename, so npm cannot attach a deprecation notice to it while it has no active registry record. The older `scriven-cli` package remains on npm only as a deprecated legacy name that points users to `scriveno`. Do not treat either legacy package name as active unless a deliberate compatibility shim is republished. See [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for the full list and [docs/release-notes.md](docs/release-notes.md) for the public-facing summary.
