V4 harness releases log a `developer/message` event whenever the effective tool registry changes mid-session (first shipped in 0.1.7-rc.2): the message nests under data.message with role `developer`, source kind `tool-registry`, and `tool-addition`/`tool-removal` content blocks, lands on the session surface, and the harness's own token meter prices it like any non-system message. The timeline fold had no case for it, so every such message vanished from the plugin's accounting — injection totals, per-request composition, the live surface, and compaction archives under-reported, and the Context tab's numbers could not reconcile with the harness meter or a compaction shadow price.
The fold now treats the event like an injected user message: the nested message is read structurally (the pinned 0.1.5-rc.1 dependency's deriveEventMessage predates the family), the node prices through the shared estimator with the harness's empty-content-is-zero rule, and the injection record takes the producer kind as its label. Developer messages never count as human inputs whatever a hostile source claims; malformed payloads leave the state reference-equal.
stateVersion 24 -> 25: earlier cached rows omitted these nodes and later events cannot recover them, so on upgrade every timeline row refolds once from the durable log (the dashboard warm-up rebuilds idle sessions). The wire shape and durable logs are unchanged. The V4 baselines now carry the event family, and the real-source compat matrix asserts surface tokens, request composition, warm restore, and a v24-row rebuild on both supported V4 lines.
Validation: 102 test files / 1,910 tests with per-file coverage 100%; the real-source matrix passed for 0.1.5-rc.1, 0.1.7-rc.2, and 0.2.0-rc.2; GitHub PR checks green (486069f fixed the workflow's pnpm setup that had failed every external PR at its first step).
