+## [3.1.0] - 2026-07-15
+
+### Fixed
+- **Telegram delivery**: Replaced broken `send_message_tool` import with `hermes send` CLI subprocess
+  - Root cause: `_ensure_gw_config()` clobbered `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` env var before `load_gateway_config()` could read it from `.env`
+  - Fix: `subprocess.run(['hermes', 'send', '--to', 'telegram', '--quiet', text])` — robust, no import hacks
+  - Token must be in `~/.hermes/.env` (not masked `***`); systemd drop-in as backup
+
+### Removed
+- `CircuitBreaker` class and `_tg_circuit_breaker` instance (unused after Telegram delivery refactor)
+- `_ensure_gw_config()` function and associated globals `_gw_config_loaded`, `_gw_config`
+- `tenacity` import (no longer needed)
+
+### Changed
+- Docstring: v3 -> v3.1, fixed Unicode characters
