+# NEGGIA-001: modernised runner labels (replaced retired
+# ubuntu-18.04/20.04 + macos-10.15 + ubuntu-16.04) and added the
+# cmake 4.x policy workaround for googletest's
+# cmake_minimum_required(VERSION <3.5). Linux gcc-11+ also needed
+# -Wno-error=maybe-uninitialized because vendored googletest's
+# gtest-death-test.cc:1224 trips a stricter modern warning that gtest's
+# own -Werror config treats as a build break. Lessons inherited from
+# dectris-cloud/xds XDS-039 work.
+#
+# Plugin .so is uploaded per lane as a GitHub Actions artifact so
+# downstream consumers (XDS-fork CI; scientists-in-cloud validation
+# nodes) can download a built plugin without rebuilding.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
-(no changes yet — framework bootstrapped 2026-05-29, work on NEGGIA-001
-worker-pool replacing GLOBAL_HANDLE pending)
+### Changed
+- **Worker pool replaces `GLOBAL_HANDLE` singleton** (NEGGIA-001 —
+  Stage 1 of Tier-1 perf overhaul per XDS-037 RFC). The plugin layer
+  now holds `NUM_WORKERS=16` `H5DataCache` instances, each with its
+  own `H5File` (own mmap = own kernel readahead state — load-bearing
+  for the GeeseFS-S3 concurrency win). `plugin_get_data` dispatches by
+  `frame_number % NUM_WORKERS` for a lock-free hot path; per-worker
+  state is thread-confined (per audit Inv-A: H5DataCache is
+  write-once-then-immutable after `plugin_get_header`). External
+  single-open contract preserved (stderr message verbatim on second
+  open while pool active). The 4 sacred C ABI symbols (`plugin_open`,
+  `plugin_close`, `plugin_get_header`, `plugin_get_data`) retain
+  byte-identical signatures — XDS-fork's `tools/neggia-version.txt`
+  bump path stays clean. New `Test_XdsPluginConcurrent` (16 threads ×
+  100 calls, bit-equality vs single-threaded reference) verifies the
+  concurrency surface; passes ctest + TSan clean (Helgrind verification
+  deferred to Linux CI — unavailable on macOS arm64). Bit-exact
+  regression against pre-patch `.so` verified on 9 fixtures across
+  `datasets_eiger1` + `datasets_eiger2` (uint16/uint32/uint8;
+  BSLZ4/LZ4/uncompressed; 0/2 data-file variants). Scientists-in-cloud
+  GeeseFS-S3 benchmark target (≥1.3× wall-clock speedup) deferred to
+  NEGGIA-005 release-time validation. Reporter-authorized cap exemption
+  recorded (67/50 cap units ≈ 1.3× cap; precedent XDS-036; cap reaffirmed
+  for subsequent tickets). — closes NEGGIA-001
