+## [2.25.0] - 2026-04-24
+
+### Added
+
+- New imperative primitives on the `Photon` base class: `this.sample()` for MCP sampling, `this.confirm()` for yes/no prompts, and `this.elicit()` for structured input requests. Complements the existing async-generator `yield`-based elicitation flow and lets plain async methods request input without switching to a generator. Available on all loaded photons via capability injection.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `this.schedule.cancel()` now fires the registered unschedule hook so the in-memory cron registration is evicted from the daemon when the backing task file is unlinked. Prior behavior left ghost timers firing forever against a deleted task record.
+- Unschedule-hook failures now surface to the caller instead of being silently swallowed. Cancel operations that fail to evict are visible so the caller can react.
+- `detectCapabilities()` now recognizes typed-access patterns with function-type parens like `((this as any).foo)()`. Prior regex missed this shape and skipped capability injection for affected photons.
