-## 🆕 What's New in 0.40.1
+## 🆕 What's New in 0.41.0
 
-- **Windows/Linux native installers: web UI no longer 404s on `/`.** The installer CI froze the app without building the gitignored web/vis frontend bundles, so `pythinker web` opened a browser onto `GET /?token=… → 404 Not Found`. Both installer workflows now build the bundles before PyInstaller (matching the PyPI release flow — pip/wheel installs were never affected), every PyInstaller spec refuses to freeze when the bundles are missing, and a build that still lacks them serves an explanatory 503 page instead of a bare 404.
-- **Startup banner renders on legacy Windows consoles.** `pythinker web` / `pythinker vis` now honor the existing ASCII-glyph detection with width-preserving fallbacks and degrade per line instead of crashing when the output stream rejects Unicode (e.g. PowerShell with cp1252).
+- **Goal-driven execution: new `/goal`, `/best-practices`, and `/learn` commands.** `/goal <objective>` sets a persistent thread goal the agent pursues across turns, restarts, and compaction until it is verifiably complete — with an evidence-based completion audit, a root-only `UpdateGoal` tool to mark it `complete`/`blocked`, and opt-in `goal.auto_continue` to loop automatically toward it. `/best-practices` (alias `/bp`) injects engineering-discipline guidance now also shipped always-on in the default prompt, and `/learn` distills session lessons into per-project memory.
+- **Statusline v2: a full redesign of the shell footer.** Colored segments with a gradient context bar, working spinner, live token speed, session cost/budget, thinking-effort badge, git diff counts, elapsed time, and a clock — all fail-closed and tunable via the new `/statusline` command (persisted under `[tui.statusline]`), with ASCII fallback and narrow-width graceful degradation.
+- **Agentic orchestration hardening.** Parallel subagents and background tasks get distinctive codenames, foreground `RunAgents` batches run concurrently and roll up child RISKS/BLOCKERS, the review pipeline decomposes large diffs and adversarially verifies every finding, and restricted-profile subagents are now offline, secret-scrubbed, and workspace-jailed by default — enforced at execution time, not just prompted.
+- **TUI polish.** Flicker-free streaming on synchronized-output terminals, inline ghost-completion for slash commands, monotonic tool-call rows, shell error briefs that surface the failing command's output, and no more transient `<invalid>` flashes or raw-mode hangs on exit.
