+## Bug Fixes
+
+### Fix Worker Startup Timeout (#811, #772, #729)
+
+Resolves the "Worker did not become ready within 15 seconds" timeout error that could prevent hooks from communicating with the worker service.
+
+**Root cause:** `isWorkerHealthy()` and `waitForHealth()` were checking `/api/readiness`, which returns 503 until full initialization completes — including MCP connection setup that can take 5+ minutes. Hooks only have a 15-second timeout window.
+
+**Fix:** Switched to `/api/health` (liveness check), which returns 200 as soon as the HTTP server is listening. This is sufficient for hook communication since the worker accepts requests while background initialization continues.
+
+**Files changed:**
+- `src/shared/worker-utils.ts` — `isWorkerHealthy()` now checks `/api/health`
+- `src/services/infrastructure/HealthMonitor.ts` — `waitForHealth()` now checks `/api/health`
+- `tests/infrastructure/health-monitor.test.ts` — Updated test expectations
+
+### PR Merge Tasks
+- PR #820 merged with full verification pipeline (rebase, code review, build verification, test, manual verification)
+
+## [v9.0.15] - 2026-02-05
+
+## Security Fix
+
+### Isolated Credentials (#745)
+- **Prevents API key hijacking** from random project `.env` files
+- Credentials now sourced exclusively from `~/.claude-mem/.env`
+- Only whitelisted environment variables passed to SDK `query()` calls
+- Authentication method logging shows whether using Claude Code CLI subscription billing or explicit API key
+
+This is a security-focused patch release that hardens credential handling to prevent unintended API key usage from project directories.

-### MCP Tool Token Reduction
-
-Optimized MCP tool definitions for reduced token consumption in Claude Code sessions through progressive parameter disclosure.
-
-**Changes:**
-- Streamlined MCP tool schemas with minimal inline definitions
-- Added `get_schema()` tool for on-demand parameter documentation
-- Enhanced worker API with operation-based instruction loading
-
-This release improves session efficiency by reducing the token overhead of MCP tool definitions while maintaining full functionality through progressive disclosure.
