+
+### Fixed
+- **Rebuilt the prebuilt `theta-agent-linux-amd64`.** theta-suite's `setup.sh` installs that committed binary rather than building from source, so a stale one means the fix in this repo never reaches the host. The v1.5.0 binary predated join-key support: an install would have written a `join_key` into `agent.yml` that the running agent did not understand, and it would have looped on `close 4001: Unauthorized`. (Same trap as the v1.3.0 heartbeat fix.)
+
 ## [v1.5.0] - 2026-08-06
 
 Join-key enrollment (protocol v1.2.0 §1.1). Installing the agent with one key is now all it takes to add a host.
