+- **Personal-brain tutorial points at the correct AlphaClaw site.** Step 4 of `docs/tutorials/personal-brain.md` ("Deploy via AlphaClaw on Render") linked to the wrong top-level domain, sending readers to a site that isn't the official AlphaClaw. The link now resolves to the right destination, so the deploy step works as written (gbrain#2165).

 ## [0.42.42.0] - 2026-06-12
 
 **`gbrain query` no longer pays a flat 10-second exit tax on managed Postgres behind a transaction-mode pooler — and CLI exit codes finally tell the truth on PGLite.** On deployments where the pooler holds sockets open past the bounded pool drain (gbrain#2084, a residual of gbrain#1972), every query printed its results and then sat for 10 seconds until the force-exit banner fired. The cause was two-layered: the hard-deadline timer was armed *before* the operation handler, so a multi-second search on a large brain burned the teardown budget (and any operation slower than 10 seconds was silently killed mid-run with exit 0 and truncated output); and the CLI never exited explicitly on success — it waited for Bun's event loop to drain, which a stuck pooler socket can hold open forever.
