 ## Highlights
 
 ### Prompt caching cost model ([#346](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/pull/346), [#347](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/pull/347))
 
-- **`loop-cost` 1.2.0** — `--with-caching` scenario + `stable_fraction` on patterns in `registry.yaml` (cache-read discount on stable report/action tokens).
-- **`loop-context` 1.5.0** — `--budget-scenario caching` resolves a cap from the new scenario (shells out with `--with-caching`).
+- **`loop-cost` 1.2.0** (published) — `--with-caching` scenario + `stable_fraction` on patterns in `registry.yaml`.

+### Suggested publish sequence (after version PR)
+
+1. Human: open version-bump PR for `loop-audit` 1.8.0, `loop-init` 1.6.0, `loop-mcp-server` 1.2.0 (+ CHANGELOG rows).
+2. Merge version PR.
+3. Tag in order (audit before consumers if needed):  
+   `loop-audit-v1.8.0` → `loop-init-v1.6.0` → `loop-mcp-server-v1.2.0`
+4. Confirm with `npm view @cobusgreyling/<pkg> version`.
+5. Human: fold this draft into a GitHub Discussion / announce; then close [#332](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/332).
