-### Changed
-
-- Built on QQQ 4.1.0-RC.7; stand-ins removed.

 ### Added
 
-- RC.8 optional job progress fields: phase labels, explicit percent with legacy fallback,
-  message, binary byte counts, ETA and dropped-log notice in typed widgets.
-- Full-width owner-scoped Log child list after Live Progress, ascending by log ID.
-- System-session retention of log lines, including 64-bit cursors and 200-row batches.
-- Host `parentAppName` configuration for Admin > Operations > Jobs placement.

-The job progress fields and the Log list need QQQ 4.1.0-RC.8 or later; on older metadata
-the optional progress fields may be absent and the Log list is left out.
+The default build uses released core **4.1.0-RC.5**, which has no durable jobs kernel.
+Production requires the kernel and the following core fixes (expected in RC.6):
+
+- `QRun-IO/qqq#1178`: the jobs tables, constants and security metadata (alert types
+  `jobs.job-failed` and `jobs.job-stalled`).
+- `QRun-IO/qqq#1191`: the optional `jobs_effect` outbox and `jobs.effect-unresolved` alert.
+  Effects child lists require the table and its job join; effect statistics and retention
+  checks are enabled when the table exists. The app also works without that table.
+- `QRun-IO/qqq#1173`: `StorageAction.deleteObject`. Until present, object deletion logs
+  once and is skipped. Job/child row retention still runs. Cleanup of inputs on retained
+  clean jobs preserves their references when deletion is unavailable, allowing retry.
+  Objects belonging to fully purged jobs may need the host's storage lifecycle policy.
 
 The app produces typed data only, with no HTML. The widget label is each card's title,
 so the data carries no second title.
 - **Tables.** The running, attention and worker tables have two or three flexible
   columns. Their cells are composite widget blocks:
   - the job's label links to its record, with the process label under it;
-  - a progress bar uses `percentDone` when present (including zero), otherwise rows/chunks;
-  - phase labels come from `progressJson.phases` with `currentPhase` as fallback;
-  - plain text shows the progress message and optional bytes in B/KiB/MiB/GiB;
+  - a progress bar shows the percent and rows done;
   - the status line is a label (or the waiting reason) with the rate and ETA.
   Each row also keeps its plain values (`Job`, `Process`, `Status`, `Rows`, `Rate`,

-## Dependencies
-Requires QQQ 4.1.0-RC.8 or later (job progress and `jobs_log`). The default `qqq-snapshot` profile and the opt-in
-`demo` profile both use released RC.8. Core provides table metadata, joins, possible
-values, session security, signal identifiers and storage deletion. The qbit declares
-the alert types and retains only field names that core does not export.
-The demo server under `src/demo/java` uses the same released kernel.
+## Dependencies and stand-ins
+The qbit builds against the released QQQ RC through the default `qqq-snapshot` profile. Until the
+kernel ships in an RC, the core names it needs (table, field and process names, and the jobs session
+keys) are mirrored in `JobsCoreContract`, tagged
+`STAND-IN(core=QRun-IO/qqq#1178, removeBy=RC.6)`. When RC.6 is released, those constants switch to
+core's `DurableJobsTables`, and `JobsCoreContract` and the test-only table mirror are deleted.
+The optional outbox additions carry `STAND-IN(core=QRun-IO/qqq#1191, removeBy=RC.6)`.
+The demo server (`-Pdemo`, under `src/demo/java`) runs against a locally installed 4.1.0-SNAPSHOT of
+the kernel branch. It is how the screenshots are taken.
