+## v0.7.9 — Workflow Independence Audit
+
+Workflows proven independent of chat and all optional packages. Critical
+rendering bugs fixed, dead chat UI removed, deferred test debt closed.
+
+**RenderWorkflow Fix (critical)**
+
+- `RenderWorkflow()` was a stub that never loaded instance/stage data — post-start page was broken. Now loads instance by token/ID, resolves current stage, populates all template fields.
+- `WorkflowPageData` fields renamed: `ChannelID` → `EntryToken`, `ChannelTitle` → `WorkflowTitle`, `ChannelDescription` → `WorkflowDescription` (vestigial chat-era names)
+- Stage modes aligned: template uses Go constants (`form`, `review`, `delegated`, `automated`) instead of legacy `form_only`/`form_chat`
+- Dead chat UI removed: chat CSS, split layout, `sendMessage()`, fallback chat branch (~180 lines deleted from `workflow.html`)
+- Landing page mode conditionals updated to match Go constants
+- OpenAPI `stage_mode` enum corrected (4 occurrences)
+
+**Bug Fixes (found during verification)**
+
+- Entry token resolution: handler passed route param (instance ID) as entry token to JS. Fixed: resolve actual token from `inst.EntryToken` + `?token=` query param.
+- Fieldset submit guard: `submitForm()` checked `FORM_TPL.fields` but not `.fieldsets` — progressive forms silently no-op'd. Fixed: accept either.
+- Stage advance status check: JS checked `result.status === 'advanced'` but API returns `active`/`completed`. Fixed: on 200 OK with `active`, reload to render next stage.
+
+**Deferred test coverage (carried from v0.7.6)**
+
+- 17 new SQLite store tests: workflow CRUD, stages, instances, lifecycle (advance/complete/cancel/stale), team scope, API tokens, users, groups
+- `InstallPackage` decomposed from 400-line monolith into 7 private methods: `receiveUpload`, `parseAndValidateArchive`, `extractPackageAssets`, `registerPackage`, `applySchemaAndPermissions`, `resolveDependencies`, `checkCapabilities`
+- `ci/e2e-workflow-nochat.sh` — E2E test for workflow lifecycle without chat
+
+**Discovered issues (deferred to v0.7.10)**
+
+- Public→authenticated stage handoff: visitor sees auth-gated stage form instead of "submitted" screen
+- Team member pickup UI: no surface for claiming workflow instances
+- Assignment flow: no admin UI for manual instance assignment
+
+**Tests:** 17 new store tests, 1 new E2E script
+
+---
+
+## v0.7.8 — Bug Fixes & Admin Gaps
+
+- `StartBySlug` handler + `/api/v1/workflow-entry/:scope/:slug` route for landing page Start button
+- Workflow delete guard: admin endpoint rejects team-scoped workflows (403)
+- Package button cleanup: Delete hidden for bundled packages
+- Package export: `fetch()` with auth token instead of `window.open()`
+- Settings CSS: bottom padding fix for save button cutoff
+- Shared `StageForm` component between admin and team-admin; public entry URL with copy button
+
+---
+
 ## v0.7.7 — API Tokens + Extension Permissions
 
 Personal access tokens (PATs) for programmatic API access, plus extension-declared
