# ECC v1.8.0 Release Notes
ECC v1.8.0 positions the project as an agent harness performance system, not just a config bundle.

## Overview

# ECC v1.8.0 Release Notes

## Positioning

ECC v1.8.0 positions the project as an agent harness performance system, not just a config bundle.

## Key Improvements

- Stabilized hooks and lifecycle behavior.
- Expanded eval and loop operations surface.
- Upgraded NanoClaw for operational use.
- Improved cross-harness parity (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex).

## Upgrade Focus

1. Validate hook profile defaults in your environment.
2. Run `/harness-audit` to baseline your project.
3. Use `/quality-gate` and updated eval workflows to enforce consistency.
4. Review attribution and licensing notes for referenced ecosystems: [reference-attribution.md](./reference-attribution.md).
5. For partner/sponsor optics, use live distribution metrics and talking points: [../business/metrics-and-sponsorship.md](../../business/metrics-and-sponsorship.md).
