+Add agent self-scheduling via MCP server
+
+Agents can now create, update, and delete their own schedules at runtime through a capability-gated MCP server. Enable with `self_scheduling.enabled: true` in agent config.
+
+- Per-agent YAML store at `.herdctl/dynamic-schedules/<agent>.yaml`
+- Standalone `herdctl-scheduler` stdio MCP server with 4 tools (create, list, update, delete)
+- Auto-injected when `self_scheduling.enabled` is true — no manual MCP config needed
+- Safety: namespace isolation, configurable max schedules, minimum interval enforcement, optional TTL
+- Dynamic schedules merged with static in scheduler (static wins on name collision)
+- `source: "static" | "dynamic"` tag on ScheduleInfo for fleet operator visibility

+Add injected MCP server support to CLI runtime via HTTP bridges
+
+CLI runtime now supports `injectedMcpServers` (e.g., file sender for Discord/Slack uploads).
+Previously only SDK and Docker runtimes handled injected MCP servers — CLI silently ignored them.
+
+The fix reuses existing `mcp-http-bridge.ts` infrastructure: starts HTTP bridges on localhost
+for each injected server and passes them via `--mcp-config` as HTTP-type MCP servers.

+feat(discord): support file attachments (images, PDFs, text/code files) in Discord messages
+
+When users upload files alongside a Discord message, the connector now detects and processes them:
+- Text/code files are downloaded and inlined directly into the agent's prompt
+- Images and PDFs are saved to the agent's working directory with a file path reference so the agent can use its Read tool to view them
+- Configurable via `chat.discord.attachments` with options for file size limits, allowed types, and automatic cleanup
