-## 2026-10-25 (night, unattended) — a BYO host loses our SSH drop-in in ONE update (R-1285) — committed, NOT released
+## v0.166.0 (2026-10-26) — a signed job's window is at most 24 h (R-1280); the policy pass after each bundle (R-1285); the published gate follows D50 (R-1290) — released in the attended release run; **VOUCHED by the operator 2026-10-26 10:04:55 CET** (binary `3f22c65b…`, bundle `093772c1…`)

+Released from a clean clone at `aa69114` (tag `v0.166.0`; binary sha256 `3f22c65b78914632fa476292f6b58e5af3ed9e9900f3a5a7a347a9c0bfea9c5c`,
+bundle `093772c1bda8b974e86ed45472f8fadc8992f247563f5739876102a5156003a3`); delivered to Tester 1, demo-hp and demo-felhom
+by signed `agent_update` + `agent_config_update` (each: COMPLETED, bundle INSTALLED, self-check 76/76, update committed).
+Live: a 25 h signed job REJECTED on demo-hp („op validity window too long"), a 30 min one ran; `felhom-opsign -ttl 25h`
+refuses. D50 pin `day0_agent` → 0.166.0 (`scripts/retention-policy.json`). Evidence: felhom.eu
+`documentation/audits/release-monday-2026-10-26/agent-0166/`.
+
+**Found at the release (felhom.eu R-1285, back to OPEN):** in the normal two-job delivery the bundle job runs in the OLD
+process (0.165.0) before the restart into 0.166.0, so the policy pass does not run on that bundle — a BYO host coming
+from 0.164.0 still loses our drop-in one release late. The pass itself is wired: under 0.166.0 a later bundle logged
+„BUNDLE POLICY DONE install_mode=appliance removed=0".
