fix: remove Steward analysis from user-visible reasoning

The Steward's internal routing analysis (DELEGATE, COMPLEXITY, etc.)
was being exposed in <think> blocks. This is implementation detail,
not useful reasoning for the user.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [2.0.3] - 2026-02-05
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Steward analysis leaking into responses** - Removed internal routing analysis (`DELEGATE: tatlock_core...`) from user-visible reasoning in both streaming and non-streaming paths
+
+## [2.0.2] - 2026-02-05
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **tool_choice format incompatibility** - Removed `extra_body` tool_choice hack for Claude backend; PydanticAI handles tool_choice natively for Anthropic, preventing infinite tool call loops
+- **CI trigger** - Changed workflow trigger from `release:published` to `push:tags:v[0-9]*`
+
+## [2.0.1] - 2026-02-05
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Expert agent registration failure** - `AnthropicModel` does not accept `api_key` directly; now passes it via `AnthropicProvider`
+
 ## [2.0.0] - 2026-02-05
 
 ### Added
