rc(reliability): fix Variant A UI smoke assertions (v6.7.0-rc.3)

rc.2 fixed all three release builds (gitignored node-standalone), but the
ui_browser smoke test still asserted the parent line in the collapsed card view.
Under Variant A the single parent card's collapsed view shows the child's latest
subagent row; the parent line is visible after expansion. Relaxed the collapsed
assertions to the actual grouped-card rendering (child row + role/meta pills) and
verified the full ui_browser smoke suite locally with Playwright (4 passed).

No runtime behavior change vs rc.1/rc.2; UI smoke test fix only.

 |---------|------|-------------|
-| 6.7.0-rc.2 | 2026-05-29 | **rc(reliability): structurally close the subagent worker-crash, ghost-task, and stuck-spinner classes; provider-agnostic review; bundled Node.** macOS/Windows workers use `spawn` (Linux keeps `fork`) and a central `OUROBOROS_IN_WORKER` no-proxy policy eliminates the macOS `_scproxy` fork SIGSEGV class. A monotonic `write_task_result` lifecycle guard plus live `cancel_task` + `cancel_requested` latch prevent stale/ghost status; terminal `task_done` events on every crash/kill/timeout/cancel path (and reconnect/history reconciliation) stop the perpetual spinner. Signal crashes are terminal (no retry) for all task types. Subagent UI dedup (Variant A: parent dashboard rows, in-place updates, no duplicate child card). Cloud.ru becomes a first-class exclusive-direct provider so Ouroboros is usable with any single key; `skill_preflight` tolerates missing/killed validators and the build bundles a signed Node.js LTS for node-runtime skills. New-user defaults: review `claude-opus-4.8`, Claude Code `opus[1m]`. README OuroborosHub badge/callout. (rc.2: gitignore the bundled `node-standalone` so the `repo.bundle` build sees a clean working tree, and update the Variant A subagent-card UI smoke test.) |

 | 6.6.0-rc.1 | 2026-05-29 | **rc(review): effect-gate task-acceptance review and clarify light-mode cognitive writes.** Host-enforced `required` review fires only on turns with observable reviewable effects (commit/deliverable/workspace/self-mod) or non-direct tasks, so plain chat is never reviewed; `auto` stays LLM-first. Adds `review_eligibility`/`review_trigger` to loop outcomes, routes light-mode cognitive writes to `update_identity`/`update_scratchpad`/`knowledge_write` (`COGNITIVE_TOOL_REQUIRED`) and absolute home paths to `root=user_files` (`ROOT_REQUIRED_USER_FILES`) with recovery, parses fenced JSON-object reviewer verdicts, and makes `DEGRADED` review signals carry an honest reason. |
 | 6.5.0-rc.4 | 2026-05-28 | **rc(ci): normalize Windows process executable names.** Keeps the rc.3 scope and treats `.exe` interpreter/writer basenames as their canonical tool names so light-mode runtime-data guards run on Windows. |
 | 6.5.0-rc.3 | 2026-05-28 | **rc(ci): finish Windows runtime-data guard portability.** Keeps the rc.2 scope and fixes escaped Windows Python path literals in light-mode runtime-data process guards so full CI can build release artifacts. |
