Summary

0.16.1 adds standalone headless skill runs (#1093) and a diagnosis-first workflow for bug Tickets (#1090).

• thirdshift skill <skill> [issue <issue>] runs a Factory or repository skill in a temporary worktree at committed HEAD, using the default Harness, Model and Effort. It requires terminal completion and a nonblank final message; release summaries also gain terminal-completion checks (Add standalone headless skill command #1093).
• scripts/release.sh --no-experiment skips the release Experiment on fresh runs and resumes, and combines with --review (Let a release skip its Experiment with --no-experiment #1344).
• Bug Ticket runs and Continuations diagnose before implementation: reproduced bugs get a failing regression before the fix; unreproduced bugs finish with triage notes and needs-info, releasing the Claim without requeueing or PR delivery (Diagnose bug Ticket runs before implementation #1090).
• Fix Claude Trials, model Graders, Scoring Graders and Bug-origin proposals exiting immediately because --disallowedTools consumed their prompt (Keep the prompt out of Claude Trials' disallowed tools #1337).
• Scoring records failed, timed-out or missing Bug-origin proposals with no commit and a reason, preserves their artifacts and advances the window. The Day shift settles those bugs with --correct or --none (Record a failed Bug-origin session instead of ending Scoring #1332).
• status, cronjobs and Console show per-repository last-fired times for Pickup, Architect and Security, including skipped and manual starts. cronjobs --json now returns {jobs, pass_starts} instead of a bare array (Show when each repository's Pickup Pass last fired #1334).
• Run metrics and Experiments share Session usage accounting. Partial totals preserve omitted token/cache fields and costs; reported zeroes remain authoritative. Saved completion snapshots stay fixed (Share Session usage accounting across Run metrics and Experiments #1322).
• Console installation requires curl and checks service and localhost-port readiness before proxy setup. Startup failures print journal diagnostics and stop installation; enforcing SELinux produces a warning (fix(console): verify service startup during installation #1333).
• Unready Ticket reports name open blockers; Command records retain Ticket and blocker titles for show --json (Report Unready Ticket blockers and retain graph titles #1343).
• Security publication checks issues created during its session window: passing issues stay open and appear in the Activity log; rejected issues close immediately and fail the run (Check Security publication window issues before closing them #1346).
• Ticket-splitting guidance holds back Tickets that depend on releasing, deploying or installing earlier Tickets in the same Spec, leaving the human step and follow-on Spec to the Day shift (Split a Spec where a Ticket needs a release of its earlier Tickets #1339).
• Setup suggests Claude model aliases while accepting any Model ID. Enter keeps the current value or Claude’s default (Suggest Claude model aliases during Setup #1330).
• Issues never labelled ready-for-agent get an accurate warning; direct Ticket runs still continue and Pickup still skips them (Fix warning for issues never labelled ready-for-agent #1336).
• Remaining Console sign-in and set-password error replies use full account pages with the configured Theme (Theme remaining Console sign-in and set-password replies #1345).

Also: site browser-test waits (#1331), CI reporting every macOS main-push shard failure (#1329), open-source factory research docs (#1338), and Rust toolchain 1.99.1 (#1080).
