 All notable changes to Switchboard Core are documented here.
 
+## v0.6.6 — Final Hardening
+
+Final pass before public release. Security, correctness, and developer
+experience. No new features — only fixes, validation, and cleanup.
+
+### Added
+
+- **`ValidateManifest()` gate**: Centralized manifest validation function
+  (`package_validate.go`) called at both upload-install and bundled-install
+  time. Catches malformed manifests early with clear error messages. 12 unit
+  tests covering all type constraints and edge cases.
+- **Extension dependency auto-activation**: Installing a package whose
+  `dependencies` list an uninstalled library will auto-install that library
+  from the bundled packages directory. If the dependency is not bundled, the
+  error message lists exactly what's missing.
+- **`OptionalAuth` middleware**: New page middleware for workflow visitor
+  routes. Authenticates if a token is present, allows anonymous pass-through
+  otherwise. Replaces the stale `AuthOrRedirect` TODO for Session routes.
+- **Package signing schema reservation**: `signature` field accepted in
+  manifest (no-op). `PACKAGE_VERIFY_SIGNATURES` env var logs warnings for
+  unsigned packages when enabled. No cryptographic verification yet — schema
+  slot reserved to prevent a breaking change later.
+- **ICD/SDK runner v0.6.x coverage**: Smoke tier adds metrics, cluster,
+  backups, docs, and OpenAPI JSON endpoints. SDK admin domain adds metrics,
+  cluster, and backups dual-path tests.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **OIDC nonce validation**: ID token nonce claim is now validated against
+  the stored authorization request nonce. Previously the nonce was generated
+  and stored but never checked on callback — a token replay/substitution
+  vulnerability.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Schema migration stub**: `RunSchemaMigrations()` no longer pretends to
+  work. Replaced with a log-only function documenting that only additive
+  schema changes are supported. Downgrade rejection preserved.
+- **Session middleware TODO resolved**: `main.go` Session slot now uses
+  `OptionalAuth` instead of `AuthOrRedirect`. OIDC nonce TODO and migration
+  stub TODO also resolved.

 ## v0.6.5 — Renderer Pipeline + Docs Rewrite
 
 Lifts block rendering to a kernel SDK primitive so all surfaces share one

 | Step | Status | Description |
 |------|--------|-------------|
-| Extension dependency auto-activation | ☐ | Installing a package with unmet `depends`/`requires` should auto-install dependencies from the bundled set, or reject with a clear error listing what's missing. Silent dormant is not acceptable for external users. |
-| `ValidateManifest()` gate | ☐ | Single validation function called at install time. Catches malformed manifests early — same pattern as Unicode scan gate. |
-| Package signing hook | ☐ | Optional `signature` field in manifest. `--verify` flag on install path (currently no-op). Five minutes now prevents a breaking manifest schema change post-fork. |
-| OIDC state nonce validation | ☐ | `handlers/auth.go:221` — security TODO. Validate nonce on OIDC callback before accepting tokens. |
-| Schema migration stub decision | ☐ | `handlers/starlark_helpers.go:93–97` — `RunSchemaMigrations` is a no-op stub called during updates. Implement real migrations or remove and document that only additive schema changes are supported. Don't ship a stub that pretends to work. |
-| ICD/SDK runner update pass | ☐ | ICD runner and SDK runner are stale for cluster, backup, chat, realtime, dynamic OpenAPI. Update to cover current API surface. |
-| Stale TODO resolution | ☐ | `main.go:867` (session middleware TODO, stale since v0.2.0). `auth.go:221` (OIDC nonce, covered above). `starlark_helpers.go:96` (migration stub, covered above). Resolve or delete. |
+| Extension dependency auto-activation | ✅ | Installing a package with unmet `depends`/`requires` auto-installs dependencies from the bundled set. If not bundled: clear error listing what's missing. |
+| `ValidateManifest()` gate | ✅ | Single `ValidateManifest()` function in `package_validate.go`. Called at install time (both upload and bundled). 12 unit tests. |
+| Package signing hook | ✅ | Optional `signature` field in manifest (reserved). `PACKAGE_VERIFY_SIGNATURES` env var (default false, log-only). No cryptographic code yet — schema slot reserved. |
+| OIDC state nonce validation | ✅ | `oidcClaims.Nonce` field added. `ValidateIDTokenNonce()` compares ID token nonce against stored state. Callback rejects mismatched nonces. |
+| Schema migration stub decision | ✅ | Stub replaced with log-only function documenting additive-only policy. Downgrade rejection preserved. |
+| ICD/SDK runner update pass | ✅ | ICD smoke tier: added metrics, cluster, backups, docs, OpenAPI JSON endpoints. SDK admin domain: added metrics, cluster, backups tests. |
+| Stale TODO resolution | ✅ | `main.go` session middleware: replaced with `OptionalAuth()` (auth if token present, anonymous pass-through). `auth.go:221` OIDC nonce: resolved. `starlark_helpers.go:96` migration stub: resolved. |
 
 Then ship.
