 ### Changed
 
+- Upgrade the default QQQ BOM to `4.1.0-RC.7` from Maven Central.
+- Register the core followers provider for alerts and other qbits, with event preferences, future-mute exclusion, system reads scoped to one record, and caller-owned recipient access checks.
+- Cache favorite/recent record labels only for FULL field access. Resolve comment/share notification labels per recipient with a table-label-and-id fallback. Use the typed core label-access API for email labels as well.
+- Verify RC.7 timeline audit masking and HIDDEN-field omission through enforced viewer queries, including canaries in values and messages.
+
 - Switch the optional qbit-email integration to 0.1.0-RC.2 and its published `com.kingsrook.qbits.email.api` package, preserving templates, categories, idempotency keys, linked records and enqueue-status handling. Narrow the email package allowance to the public API.
 
 - Email through qbit-email 0.1.0-RC.1: new optional dependency and `EmailCollaborationNotifier` (templates `collaboration_mention`, `collaboration_share`, `collaboration_task_reminder`), the default notifier when qbit-email is produced in the instance and no `notifier` is configured; `NoOpNotifier` otherwise. One NOTIFICATION message per recipient, no comment bodies, record labels only when field access allows. New `recipientEmailResolver` config hook; `CollaborationNotification` gains optional `sourceId` and `actorUserId`.

 - Adopt core feature overrides, record capabilities and implied WRITE locks, reference metadata, mirrored locks, after-commit cleanup and summaries. Core registers feature permissions in the policy editor.
 - Replace `OtherUserAccess`/`UserSessionSupplier` with `CollaborationRecordAccessChecker` and core `UserSessionProviderInterface`; configure `withUserSessionProvider`.
 - Remove `ParentTableRestriction` and `TagFilterTranslator`; runtime `collaborationTags` filtering/search uses core subqueries. Retain the unpinned visibility fallback still missing from core.
-- Publish identifier-only realtime hints after commit. Selectable Tags output and the optional followers SPI await missing core hooks.
+- Publish identifier-only realtime hints after commit. Selectable Tags output awaits a core hook; the followers SPI is adopted above.
 
 - Build against locally installed QQQ `4.1.0-SNAPSHOT` until RC.6 is released; `qqq-middleware-javalin` is a compile dependency. Object storage remains pinned to `0.1.0-RC.2`.

 ## Requirements
 
 - Java 21.
-- QQQ `4.1.0-SNAPSHOT` installed from develop, including UI API extension point #1128. The build will move to `4.1.0-RC.6` once released; middleware Javalin is a compile dependency.
+- QQQ `4.1.0-RC.7` from Maven Central; middleware Javalin is a compile dependency.
 - A configured QQQ backend supporting query, get, insert, update, delete, count and aggregate actions. PostgreSQL 15+ is the intended persistent store (the generated personal-target indexes use `NULLS NOT DISTINCT`); tests use the memory backend.
 - Attachments require `qbit-object-storage:0.1.0-RC.2` (a pinned dependency), installed with a PRIVATE bucket alias matching `attachmentsBucketName`. Configure its connection and credentials in the host; this qbit does not provision buckets.
-- Core feature resolution, permissions, reference security, summaries, query expansion and realtime use QQQ `4.1.0-SNAPSHOT`, targeting RC.6.
+- Core feature resolution, permissions, reference security, summaries, query expansion and realtime use QQQ `4.1.0-RC.7`.
+
+## Followers and secured data
+
+The instance registers a core `RecordFollowersProviderInterface` backed by
+`collaboration_follow`, so alerts and other qbits can use `RecordFollowers.get`.
+CHANGE and ALERT select `notifyOnChange`; COMMENT selects `notifyOnComment`.
+Future mutes are excluded, and disabling FOLLOW returns no subscribers. The
+provider reads only the requested table/record as the system. Consumers must
+check each recipient's record access before sending data.
+
+Favorites and recents cache a record label only when every label field is FULL
+for the current session; otherwise the stored label is null. Lists continue to
+re-read labels as the viewer. Comment and share notification titles resolve
+labels in each recipient's session and fall back to the table label and id
+(for example, `Order #1042`) when label access is restricted or unavailable.
+Timeline audit reads use core's enforced query boundary: MASKED values are
+masked, HIDDEN details are omitted, and restricted audit messages are cleared.
+Comment bodies remain user content; realtime field-name filtering is handled by core.

 Typed `CollaborationWorkSchemas` describe requests and results. Task PATCH preserves omitted fields, accepts OPEN/DONE/CANCELLED transitions, and permits explicit null for optional fields; null `remindAt` selects the service's due-date default. Assignment PUT replaces owner and assignee; null clears. Invalid input is 400, denied visible-record operations are 403, and missing/invisible parents are 404. Access requests deliberately never inspect parent existence. The extension stays at unreleased **1.0.0**; contract tooling accepts these additions without a bump.
