+# Fire 1.0.9 “Ignition”
+
+Fire is a local, agent-first control plane for the space around your Mac's
+menu bar. This is the recommended Fire 1.0 release.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **Context Scenes** let Codex, Claude Code, or OpenCode propose menu bar
+  behavior for the app, time, or battery context you are in. Fire shows the
+  exact effect and installs it only after your approval.
+- **Fireline** is a focused surface below the notch or menu bar. It can show a
+  local AI quota or one selected menu bar item for the active scene.
+- **Fire CLI and agent skill** provide guided setup, diagnostics, exact item
+  selectors, and recovery without hand-editing configuration files.
+- **Simpler Settings** organize setup, surfaces, contexts, agents, advanced
+  controls, and the upstream Ice credit around real tasks.
+
+## Fire 1.0.9 reliability
+
+- Consent prompts now expire fail-closed inside AppKit's modal-panel run loop,
+  before their MCP client deadline. An unanswered prompt cannot leave the
+  Context Scene relay occupied by an orphaned request.
+- Agent-facing XPC requests hand off replies before starting async work, so
+  Context Scene reads and approvals cannot deadlock their own relay.
+- Fresh CLI and agent sessions connect through the running Fire app using a
+  private, mutually authenticated local socket.
+- Accepted sockets restore blocking semantics, preventing an `EAGAIN` race
+  from closing new CLI sessions.
+- XPC helpers and requests have bounded timeouts and recover on the next call.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+Fire keeps the existing `Ice.app` installation path and
+`com.jordanbaird.Ice` bundle identity so current preferences, permissions,
+Sparkle updates, saved layouts, and Keychain-backed approvals continue to work.
+Because of that compatibility boundary, macOS System Settings may still list
+Fire as **Ice** under Privacy & Security.
