+## v0.7.5 — Headless E2E + CI Gate
+
+**CI Gating Redesign**
+- `VERSION` and `scripts/*` no longer trigger frontend/backend tests — deploy-only (pipeline v0.18.0)
+- `docs/*` changes now trigger build-and-deploy (docs are served in-app via Docs surface)
+- Path gating comment block updated to reflect corrected model
+
+**E2E Smoke Test**
+- `ci/e2e-smoke-test.sh` — authenticates as admin, discovers surfaces, runs Playwright navigation test
+- `ci/e2e-smoke-driver.js` — visits every surface, asserts shell topbar present, no JS console errors, home link works
+- Screenshot-on-failure: full-page PNG + console log saved as CI artifacts
+- Baseline screenshots captured for every surface (informational, not a gate)
+
+**CI Pipeline Integration**
+- `test-runners` stage re-enabled with broad trigger condition (BE/FE/packages/infra)
+- New `e2e-smoke` stage: boots server via docker-compose, runs Playwright smoke test, failure blocks merge
+- `docker-compose.ci.yml` gains `e2e-smoke` service (same Playwright v1.52.0 image)
+- `build-and-deploy` now depends on both `test-runners` and `e2e-smoke`
+
+**Documentation**
+- `docs/DESIGN-storage-primitives.md` — v0.8.x storage primitives design (files module, workspace module, capability negotiation, vector columns)
+- `docs/DESIGN-extension-composability.md` — v0.8.4 composability design (slots/contributes manifest fields, lib.require relaxation, SDK helpers)
+- `ROADMAP.md` expanded through v1.0: v0.8.x storage primitives, v0.9.x reference extensions, v0.10.x sidecar tier, v1.0 gate criteria, design principles, full design decisions log
