Release Notes

Added

• ralph mcp serve for exposing Ralph as a workspace-scoped MCP server over stdio.
• User-scoped default config discovery and support for per-user Ralph defaults.
• TUI update availability notices in the header.
• Human guidance can now trigger a clean restart request flow.

Changed

• Consolidated the core preset set around the maintained workflows and refreshed preset docs, examples, and evaluation tooling.

Fixed

• Hardened multi-hat preset event contracts, late-event recovery, active hat display, and downstream debug/review handoffs.

• Fixed headless loop runner backend selection.
• Made restart resumption use the required single-command shell flow and added contract coverage for it.
