 ## 0.0.11-beta.3 — 2026-05-28
 
 ### Fixes
+- Treat GitHub `neutral` check-run conclusions as non-failing in the `require-ci-green-before-stop` policy (e.g. Socket Security: Pull Request Alerts when the head branch is from an outside contributor and Socket can't process it). Previously the policy treated anything other than `success` / `skipped` / `cancelled` as failing, producing false-positive Stop blocks on PRs whose only "non-green" check was an explicit `neutral` (#410).
 - Fix the `bump-platform-submodule.yml` workflow's first post-merge push, which failed with `fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com'`. The `persist-credentials: false` hardening from #394 left the cross-repo `git push`/`fetch` unauthenticated, and the inline `Authorization: bearer …` extraheader only authenticates GitHub's REST API — git-over-HTTPS smart-protocol expects Basic auth with `x-access-token:<pat>`. Switch to a base64-encoded Basic header (matching `actions/checkout`'s own internal extraheader format) so the push and the rebase-and-retry fetch in the loop both authenticate (#395).
 
+### Docs
+- Add `docs/.vale.ini` and a `Mintlify` Vocab accept-list to suppress noisy `Mintlify Validation (exosphere) - vale-spellcheck` CI failures. Disables `Vale.Spelling` on the 14 translated language subdirs (`ar/`, `de/`, …, `zh/`) and `i18n/`, since running an English dictionary over auto-translated content produces only noise; keeps spellcheck active on the canonical English `*.{md,mdx}` files with a project Vocab covering brand names (`failproofai`, `Claude`, `Codex`, …), CLI tooling (`npx`, `bunx`, `gcloud`, `systemctl`, …), and Claude Code event names (`PreToolUse`, `SessionStart`, …) (#410).

 ### Features
 - Add a `bump-platform-submodule.yml` workflow that pushes a matching `failproofai/oss` gitlink bump to `FailproofAI/platform` `main` on every merge into this repo's `main`, so the monorepo's pinned submodule commit tracks upstream automatically. Uses a `PLATFORM_BUMP_TOKEN` repo secret (fine-grained PAT, contents: read & write on `FailproofAI/platform`) for cross-repo auth, a concurrency group to serialize back-to-back merges, and a rebase-and-retry loop to stay race-safe against humans pushing to platform `main` between checkout and push (#394).
 - Add a supply-chain security CI gate: OSV-Scanner (`.github/workflows/osv-scanner.yml`) scans the resolved `bun.lock` tree against OSV.dev (GitHub/npm advisories + the OpenSSF malicious-packages feed) on every PR (incl. Dependabot bumps), on pushes to `main`, and weekly, and **blocks on any known-vulnerable or malicious dependency**. Adds a Socket GitHub App behavioral early-warning layer, an `osv-scanner.toml` allow-list for unfixable advisories, a README supply-chain status badge, and a `SECURITY.md` policy/runbook. Remediates the 18 pre-existing transitive advisories surfaced by the new gate (brace-expansion, flatted, minimatch, picomatch, postcss, vite, ws) by refreshing `bun.lock` within range, with `overrides` pinning `postcss` to the patched 8.5.x line (Next.js pins the vulnerable 8.4.31) and holding `eslint-plugin-react-hooks` at main's 7.0.1 so the refresh doesn't also bump the linter (#391).
