 ## Automation Baseline

 - `v0.8.0` establishes the onboarding baseline: repeatable provider/client rollout helpers, starter templates, delegated-traffic examples, env validation, and shareable onboarding reports.
 - `v0.9.0` is the pre-`v1.0` hardening baseline: conservative response headers, bounded request surfaces, stronger functional API coverage, and a full documentation pass over operator-facing behavior.
 - `v1.0.0` establishes the stable baseline: trust-boundary validation for upstream base URLs, sanitized provider-error responses, a documented security review, and the separate `@foundrygate/cli` npm package for CLI-facing workflows.
+- `v1.1.0` deepens post-1.0 adoption: wider AI-native starter coverage, tighter policy semantics, richer client highlights in stats/dashboard, and cleaner onboarding guidance for popular agent frameworks.
