Veritas Kanban 6.0.2 is the supported stable v6 release. It fixes the critical desktop regressions tracked in #1004 and #1005, adds the proportional verification policy from #1000, and supersedes v6.0.1. Version 6.0.0 remains a quarantined prerelease.
What changed
- Chat recovery and layout safety. Board Chat and Squad Chat now stay mounted in a reversible Workbench dock. Switching between Right and Bottom preserves the conversation, dock dimensions remain bounded, scrolling stays inside the dock, and Close, Escape, browser Back, or Reset Layout always returns to a visible board.
- Authoritative native version information. About Veritas Kanban and Copy Version Information now use one offline support record for the app version, release commit, channel, operating system, architecture, and packaged state.
- Proportional verification. Documentation-only changes skip workspace suites, ordinary code changes run affected Vitest coverage, and shared, storage, manifest, desktop, high-risk, or release changes retain the full gate. Full-suite evidence can be reused only when its exact tested head is an ancestor of the resulting commit.

Compatibility and support
No data-schema migration is required when upgrading from 6.0.1, and the public REST API remains mounted at v1.
