+## [1.7.0] — 2026-08-14
+
+Minor — coordinated framework release (lockstep versioning). No API changes in this module.
+
+### Docs
+
+- Generalized **ADR-001** (request binding): removed the reference to a specific private consumer
+  service and its internal ADR; the motivation is now stated in general terms. The framework's ADRs
+  must be self-contained. No code change.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Bumped `contracts`, `core` to v1.7.0.
+
 ## [1.6.0] — 2026-08-13
 
 Minor — request binding from path and query, not only the JSON body.
