 ### Added
 
 - **V1.1 `list-recent-decisions` skill** (axonflow-enterprise#1982). Drives the new `list_recent_decisions` MCP tool from Codex; Free-tier cap-hits render the V1 upgrade envelope verbatim. Plus `runtime-e2e/list-recent-decisions/` and a 7th over-cap scenario in `tests/e2e/runtime-mcp-tools.sh`.
-- **v1 telemetry-schema** (axonflow-enterprise#2008): heartbeat now emits `telemetry_type: "plugin"`, `endpoint_type` (`localhost | private_network | remote | unknown`), and `profile` from `AXONFLOW_PROFILE`.
-- `AXONFLOW_PROFILE` env var: drives the new `profile` payload field; reports `unknown` when unset.
-- `AXONFLOW_TRY=1` env var: forces `deployment_mode=community_saas` for tenants behind custom hostnames proxying try.getaxonflow.com.
 
-### Changed
+### Telemetry
 
-- `deployment_mode` allowlist normalised to `self_hosted | community_saas | unknown` (was `production`/`development`/`community-saas`). Detection now derives from endpoint host + `AXONFLOW_TRY=1`. Analytics queries on the legacy values must update.

+**Invoke the tool directly — do not pre-flight-check.** Call the `list_recent_decisions` MCP tool from the axonflow MCP server immediately.

 When you see `upgrade_required: true`, render the wording verbatim and include the `upgrade.compare_url`. Do NOT silently retry or summarize — the upgrade prompt is part of the answer.

+**Reporting integrity.** If the user-supplied prompt asks for a structured output marker (e.g. `SMOKE_RESULT: {...}`), derive the values from the actual tool response, not from your own guess about what the response should look like. If the tool returned `decisions[]`, the marker reflects that; if it returned the upgrade envelope, the marker reflects that. Never substitute one shape for the other.
