+## v2.19.4 (2026-10-29) { #v2194 }
+
+### Changed
+
+* **`agents/` branches are accepted by default** — VS Code's Agents window
+  names its branches `agents/<description>`, and its users cannot change the
+  prefix, so [CC201](rules.md#cc201) failed them unless `allow_branch_types`
+  listed `agents`. It is now in the default list. The Conventional Branch
+  specification plans to accept it as an alias of `ai`
+  ([conventional-branch#196](https://github.com/conventional-branch/conventional-branch/issues/196)).
+  This only widens what passes.
+  See PR [#645](https://github.com/commit-check/commit-check/pull/645).
+
+### Fixed
+
+* **[CC013](rules.md#cc013)–[CC016](rules.md#cc016) recognise Cursor's
+  `Made-with: Cursor` trailer** — Cursor marks the commits it writes with it,
+  and every policy let it through. It now counts as Cursor's own mark, like
+  the Copilot coding agent's `Agent-Logs-Url:`: `forbid` rejects it, and under
+  `disclose` the correction appends `Assisted-by: Cursor`. Other `Made-with:`
+  values are left alone.
+  See PR [#643](https://github.com/commit-check/commit-check/pull/643).
