@@ -4,6 +4,42 @@ All notable changes to `cloverleaf-larry` / `larry-anywhere` are recorded here.
 Versioning is loose-semver; bumps trigger the in-process self-update on every
 running client via `LARRY_BASE_URL` + `MANIFEST`.
 
+## v0.9.4 — 2026-06-08
+
+**Short, directly-invokable commands on PATH + dynamic 3-level tab-completion +
+a durable checked-in fixture. The toolkit is now usable by hand without the
+`larry tools <name>` prefix.** (Clover)
+
+- **`bin/` of thin wrappers, symlinked onto PATH by the installer.** `tbn adt`,
+  `tbp 7001`, `tbh 172.31`, `tbpr route_epic`, `where <thread>`, `paths`,
+  `route_test`, and a full-name passthrough per operator tool (`nc-find`,
+  `nc-parse`, `nc-paths`, …) now run DIRECTLY — no `larry tools` / `nc-larry`
+  prefix. Each wrapper resolves `lib/` via `bin/_nc_common.sh` (honours
+  `LARRY_LIB_DIR` → repo `../lib` → `$LARRY_HOME/lib`) and execs the matching
+  `nc-*`/`hl7-*` tool with args mapped to its flags. The short v1-family names
+  (`tbn`/`tbp`/`tbh`/`tbpr`) map onto `nc-find --name/--port/--host/--process`.
+- **`-h`/`--help` on every wrapper** (prints its own leading comment block; the
+  full-name passthroughs defer to the underlying tool's `--help`).
+- **Dynamic bash tab-completion (`bin/nc-completion.bash`), enumerated LIVE from
+  the NetConfig site tree under `$HCIROOT`** — never a static list. Three levels:
+  (1) command names (PATH default), (2) **site names** (`tbn <TAB>`→ adt …),
+  (3) **thread names** (`paths <TAB>`, `where <TAB>`, `route_test
+  --source-thread <TAB>`). Sites/threads are read through the SAME parser the
+  tools use (`lib/nc-parse.sh`), cached per (HCIROOT, newest-NetConfig-mtime) so
+  repeated TABs are instant and the cache self-invalidates on a config change.
+  The installer appends a guarded `source` line to the user's bash rc.
+- **Durable checked-in demo fixture** (`fixtures/integrator/`): a 3-site
+  synthetic integrator (epic → ancout → codamx) exercising cross-site route
+  fan-out AND a cross-site fan-in (codamx/IB_ADT_cmx fed by both epic direct and
+  ancout relay), plus a multi-route inbound (IB_ADT_epic → two delivery legs).
+  PHI-free. **Resolves the v0.9.3 fixture-design conflict:** a destination block
+  must never share its NAME with a local protocol in the same site — such a
+  collision makes `nc-paths` `_xsite_down_targets` (lib/nc-paths.sh:378) treat
+  the DEST as an intra-site hop and SUPPRESS the cross-site link. Every
+  cross-site destination block here is `XS_`-prefixed (`XS_to_ancout`,
+  `XS_to_codamx`, `XS_anc_to_codamx`) so no collision is possible.
+- DEFERRED: `fetch-token.sh` broker wiring (broker contract still finalizing).
+
 ## v0.9.1 — 2026-05-31
 
 **Upgrade to broker-mode now WIPES the now-obsolete local Anthropic/OAuth
