  • Dept-aware /task-complete — logs → <dept>/Logs/ shipped (Step 6A). Dept CHANGELOG dropped: a dept’s Logs/ already is its dated history. Lessons stay project/global. Project trackers covered by SMTM v5.9 Step 7b. Talbot, 2026-09-23
  • SMTM skills resolve dept Tasks/ folders (task-start/-continue/-complete/-prep, 2026-06-25)
  • Dept inference/auto-routing in /task-start + /task-from-chat (write to correct folder, set dept:)
  • Idea-capture workflow: Web Clipper → single intake → routed (see Tasks/idea-capture-workflow.md)
  • Migrate Core/Logs/ → <dept>/Logs/
  • MBR content consolidation — done 2026-07-09 per STATUS; — origin-story-safe, archive-with-wikilinks (see Tasks/mbr-content-consolidation.md)
