# Roadmap: v1.53 Runtime Path Hygiene

## Result

`v1.53` is complete.

## Phases

- [x] **Phase 91: Runtime Path Contracts**
- [x] **Phase 92: Registry And Current-Topic Path Normalization**
- [x] **Phase 93: Closure And Regression Audit**

## Outcome

`v1.53` now has:

- repo-relative `runtime_root` values in current-topic and active-topics runtime
  state
- compatibility loading for existing absolute-path registry rows
- cleaned checked-in `runtime/current_topic.{json,md}` fixture without leaked
  remediation worktree paths
- path-hygiene regression tests plus a green maintainability/full-suite baseline
