Veritas Kanban 6.0.2 is the supported stable v6 release. It fixes the critical desktop regressions tracked in [#1004](https://github.com/BradGroux/veritas-kanban/issues/1004) and [#1005](https://github.com/BradGroux/veritas-kanban/issues/1005), adds the proportional verification policy from [#1000](https://github.com/BradGroux/veritas-kanban/issues/1000), and supersedes v6.0.1. Version 6.0.0 remains a quarantined prerelease.

## What changed

Board Chat and Squad Chat now stay mounted in a reversible Workbench dock, preserve the conversation when switching between Right and Bottom, keep dock dimensions and scrolling bounded, and return to a visible board after Close, Escape, browser Back, or Reset Layout. About Veritas Kanban and Copy Version Information now share one authoritative offline support record for the app version, release commit, channel, operating system, architecture, and packaged state. CI verification now scales with the change: documentation-only changes skip workspace suites, ordinary code changes run affected Vitest coverage, and shared, storage, manifest, desktop, high-risk, or release changes retain the full gate. Full-suite evidence is reused only when its exact tested head is an ancestor of the resulting commit.

## Install or upgrade

Upgrade an existing Homebrew installation:

```bash
brew update
brew upgrade --cask bradgroux/tap/veritas-kanban
```

Install for the first time:

```bash
brew install --cask bradgroux/tap/veritas-kanban
```

The Assets section provides the signed and notarized macOS arm64 DMG and ZIP. Back up the current workspace before upgrading and retain the backup until the new runtime is accepted.

## Compatibility and support

No data-schema migration is required when upgrading from 6.0.1, and the public REST API remains mounted at `v1`. Buzz, Grok Build, OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Hermes, and OpenClaw support contracts are unchanged. Signed and notarized macOS arm64 is the supported desktop distribution; Linux and Windows artifacts remain unsigned verification previews.
