+### [10.4.11](https://source.soulcraft.com/soulcraftlabs/open-brainy/compare/v10.4.9...v10.4.11) (2026-09-02)
+
+- ci: superseded pushes cancel their own runs (concurrency per ref) (6053f6d4)
+- test(batch): the batch-size-limit tests add unvectored items — they test batching, not embedding (a1423c6d)
+- fix(flush): the gate settles its waiter from the machine, never from a chain (dea3ec20)
+- test(batch): the batch-vs-individual timing assertion runs in the perf lane, not the correctness gate (ebb3a4bf)
+- test(gate): the coverage guard counts the perf lane's config as a gate (2c5e3474)
+- chore(contract): emit the 10.4.11 manifest (4142f368)
+- fix(close): a read-only brain writes no clean-shutdown evidence — the marker is the writer's word about itself (367ca721)
+- fix(generation-store): commitTransaction refuses while single-ops are pending — the order invariant is enforced, not assumed (a79db434)
+- test(shutdown): pin one owner per brain — real processes, real signals (da951990)
+- fix(shutdown): one owner per brain — the signal handler defers to close(), and flush is single-flight (ec644bde)
+- fix(vfs): a path-scoped search is a served range over the path, not a refused prefix match (65493ba2)
+- ci(test): perf and scale benchmarks leave the correctness gate (dee46b35)
+- test(open): pin the pending-embed checkpoint — stuck id, crash matrix, torn fallback (1fb51093)
+- perf(open): the pending-embed fold is bounded by a checkpoint of the SET, not an empty-only mark (15d4f65d)
+- perf(open): a sealed segment the manifest proves is below the bound is never read (bc70c43d)
+- fix(find): a page the metadata block already cut is not cut again (905c267c)
+- fix(find): the hybrid legs rank inside the filter, and only the page is read (b1c70544)
+- ci(delta-gate): add a push fallback trigger alongside workflow_dispatch (67ae0046)
+- ci: add the delta-gate workflow for the capped functional lane (9922631d)
+- docs(plugin): the planner door's hiddenIds contract is the answer, not the mechanism (2633e8d5)
+- feat(engine): a protected factory for the generation store — a subclass may substitute one that keeps the contract (f763317a)
+- fix(find): near() searches around the anchor's own vector, and refuses by name without one (a8c5fbf9)
+- Merge remote-tracking branches 'origin/fix/planner-provider-door' and 'origin/fix/containment-batching' into rel/10.4.10-candidate (34f1886f)
+- feat(plugin): an optional planFindPage door — an index that can plan a find answers it in one call (4d5f823f)
+- perf(vfs): repairContainment's reconcile is one paged edge walk, not one graph call per file (3e60aded)
