# HarnessLink 17.9.0 release notes

1 change, released Nov 7, 2026.

### Added

- **Landing hero savings demo (ADR-83).** The home page hero now plays a looping demo after load (desktop, motion allowed): a gateway cache hit buds off a hit card as a chip, flies into the Saved-by-the-gateway total and the total rolls up, across two workspaces. Built Benji's Stageshow way (gold example, HarnessLink look tokens, filmed contact sheets with a gate). The prerender, reduced motion and phones keep the real screenshot at the same 16:9 box, so LCP never moves and the swap never shifts layout; the demo loads as its own lazy chunk.

Update HarnessLink and every installed harness to its current release:
