 # Changelog
 
+## [0.17.0](https://github.com/TitusKirch/skills/compare/v0.16.0...v0.17.0) (2026-08-03)
+
+
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* **work:** a repo setting work.queueBranch: true now needs a workflow that cuts the queue branch and opens its PR. The drain previously did both and stopped the whole run when it could not.
+* **skills:** a config mapping `work.linear.states.done` no longer moves the board on the accept verdict; add `states.accepted` (and list it in `statuses`) to restore it. Until then the accept verdict leaves the state untouched, which is the existing "unmapped step" behaviour and the intended failure direction — a board that lags rather than one that claims a ship.
+
