+### Release Notes
+
+#### Features
+
+##### Built-in codex-loop tracking skill
+`codex-loop install` now ships and refreshes a bundled `codex-loop` skill at
+`${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/codex-loop/`, and new runtime configs
+default to `optional_skill_name = "codex-loop"` so every automatic
+continuation names the managed skill without needing a workspace path.
+
+What you get out of the box:
+
+- A restart-safe tracking lane that bootstraps `.codex/loop/<name>/` with
+  `request.md`, `state.json`, per-task files under `tasks/`, and
+  per-iteration memory under `memory/`.
+- Stdlib-only helper scripts (`init-tracking.py`, `detect-next.py`,
+  `update-tracking.py`, `validate-tracking.py`) for deterministic task,
+  blocker, verification, and history transitions.
+- Continuation and goal prompts that now honor `optional_skill_name` even
+  when no `optional_skill_path` is configured, so the name-only default
+  resolves as a normal Codex skill.
+
+Install/uninstall safety:
+
+- `codex-loop install` migrates existing configs from a missing or blank
+  `optional_skill_name` to `"codex-loop"` while preserving any non-empty
+  custom value.
+- The managed skill copy is refreshed on every install via atomic writes.
+- A `.codex-loop-managed` marker gates the directory: install refuses to
+  overwrite an unmanaged `skills/codex-loop/`, and `codex-loop uninstall`
+  only removes the directory when that marker is present.
