 agent wrote a WiFi scanner, flashed it, and read 21 access points back off the
 board.
 
-That session is also where the current release's fixes came from — uploading a
-never-compiled sketch, serial baud rates silently not applying, and boards
-whose core isn't installed being invisible to the agent were all found by
-driving a physical board, not by reading code.
+Those sessions shaped the tooling itself. v0.6.0 turned every pain point they
+surfaced into a feature: `wait:true` replaces polling loops, serial reads are
+lossless and cursor-based, crashes/resets/watchdogs are detected and reported
+as events, upload failures come back explained, and `suggest_fqbn` identifies
+boards arduino-cli can't. The server also now teaches connected agents its own
+workflow (instructions at connect, `/bringup`-style prompts, a Claude Code
+skill).
 
 Release builds for **Windows, macOS and Linux** are produced by CI and attached
 to every tagged release.
 
 **Known limits:** artifacts are unsigned. Boards whose USB VID/PID appear in no
-`boards.txt` (many ESP32-S3 devkits) can't be auto-identified — pass an explicit
-FQBN. Uploading over a board's *native* USB port can require manual bootloader
-entry; a UART bridge port works without it.
