+# ConfigKit v0.10.1
+
+This patch release consolidates ConfigKit's internal loading machinery and
+reduces repeated import bookkeeping. Public APIs and configuration semantics
+remain unchanged from v0.10.0.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Consolidate ordinary and layered input acquisition, including import requests
+  and selected-overlay handling, while retaining their distinct context and
+  precedence rules. Remove unused private reverse conversions.
+- Separate import acquisition, scoped composition, and evidence projection;
+  clarify inheritance preparation, combination, and finalization; and simplify
+  reflective projection and schema-field assembly responsibilities.
+- Retain resolved filesystem facts from non-import validation for later passive
+  resource contexts and ordinary overlays. Remove duplicate absent-host context
+  derivation while preserving validation timing and handle cleanup.
+- Record empty optional-import selections directly against their declaring
+  source, avoiding repeated searches through acquired sources. Index import
+  dependencies for scope-local edge preparation instead of scanning the whole
+  inclusion graph for every item scope. Stable dependency-ready ordering,
+  provenance, and source destinations are preserved.
+- Expand regression coverage for import evidence ownership, scope boundaries,
+  and broad main/underlay item imports. Improve
+  [consumer loading guidance](../consumers/README.md) and internal documentation.
+
+## Compatibility and upgrade
+
+No consumer code or configuration migration is required. Composition, collection
+operations, inheritance, discovery, CLI precedence, source-version checks, and
+inspection retain their existing contracts.
+
+Select this version and rebuild:
+
+```sh
+go get gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/ConfigKit@v0.10.1
+```
+
+The consumer minimum remains Go 1.26.0. Dependencies and platform support are
+unchanged. Publication follows the existing [release procedure](../release.md).
