-Bump `@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk` from `^0.1.0` (resolved 0.1.77) to
-`^0.3.0` (resolves 0.3.205).
-
-The pinned `^0.1.0` range could not cross a `0.x` minor, freezing herdctl on a
-stale SDK line whose bundled JS harness lacks the current agentic toolset
-(`ScheduleWakeup`, `ToolSearch`, `Cron*`, `Monitor`, …). `0.3.x` drops the
-bundled harness and instead extracts/runs the native Claude Code binary, which
-carries those tools — unblocking cross-turn autonomy (e.g. a persistent
-`openSession()` agent scheduling `ScheduleWakeup` and being re-invoked when it
-fires).
-
-Adapts the SDK adapter surface to the 0.3.x types:
-
-- `Query.interrupt()` now resolves to an optional interrupt-receipt object
-  instead of `void`; the streaming `RuntimeSession.interrupt()` awaits and
-  discards it to keep its fire-and-forget `Promise<void>` contract.
-- The SDK's `tool()` handler return type now uses a literal-typed MCP
-  `CallToolResult`; the injected-MCP adapter casts `InjectedMcpToolDef.handler`
-  at that boundary so the transport-agnostic tool definition stays SDK-free.
-
-No `@herdctl/core` public API changes. `query()`, `createSdkMcpServer()`,
-`tool()`, streaming-input `AsyncIterable<SDKUserMessage>`, and the `Query`
-control methods (`interrupt`, `supportedCommands`, `setModel`) all remain
-compatible. Note: the SDK peer-depends on `zod@^4`, while core stays on
-`zod@^3`; the schemas passed to `tool()` remain structurally compatible and
-typecheck/build/tests are green.

-This clears the peer-dependency mismatch introduced by
-`@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk@0.3.x`, which peer-depends on `zod@^4` (the SDK's
-in-process MCP `tool()` schemas). Core and chat now resolve a single `zod@4`.

-**Behavior-preserving.** zod v4 changed `.default()` to short-circuit: a
-`z.object({...}).default({})` whose fields carry their own defaults now yields a
-bare `{}` at runtime instead of the fully-defaulted object (v3 re-ran the value
-through the schema). The three affected config sites — `work_source.labels`,
-`work_source.auth`, and Discord `output` — were switched to zod v4's
-`.prefault({})`, which restores the v3 semantics (an omitted block is still run
-through the schema so nested field defaults are applied). Existing schema tests
-that assert those omitted-block defaults continue to pass. All other `.default()`
-sites use scalar/array defaults, which are unaffected.
-
-Also updated the in-process MCP tool adapter's `tool()` handler cast to match
-v4's stricter argument-shape inference.
