+# SkillSpector v2.11.1
+
+Released: 2026-09-07
+
+## Summary
+
+SkillSpector 2.11.1 raises the default aggregate scan deadline from 60 seconds to 600 seconds and makes it configurable, preventing larger valid scans from timing out under the previous one-minute workflow budget. This patch release also includes security-analysis correctness fixes merged since 2.11.0.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- Give direct, recursive, transitive, and multi-skill scans a 600-second aggregate workflow deadline by default.
+- Allow operators to set a positive finite deadline with `SKILLSPECTOR_MAX_WORKFLOW_SECONDS` while retaining the safe default for invalid values.
+- Preserve security finding classifications during scan-view and report deduplication, and strengthen detection of concealed instructions.
+
+## Added
+
+- Add `SKILLSPECTOR_MAX_WORKFLOW_SECONDS` as an optional environment setting for the aggregate workflow deadline.
+
+## Changed
+
+- Increase the default end-to-end workflow and transitive traversal deadline from 60 seconds to 600 seconds.
+- Apply the configured deadline consistently across direct CLI, recursive, transitive, and multi-skill analysis paths.
+- Enforce `SKILLSPECTOR_MAX_LLM_CONCURRENCY` across all concurrently running LLM analyzers instead of separately within each analyzer.
+
+## Fixed
+
+- Prevent premature workflow termination for scans that legitimately need more than one minute.
+- Parse whitespace-separated `allowed-tools` declarations without producing least-privilege false positives.
+- Normalize bounded concealed-instruction text and fail closed when inter-character obfuscation prevents complete interpretation.
+- Keep safe and unsafe findings distinct when they share a rule fingerprint so deduplication cannot discard or misclassify security evidence.
+
+## Security
+
+- Retain classification and bounded evidence in finding identity across raw, normalized, continuity, report, JSON, and SARIF projections.
+- Detect security-relevant instructions concealed with default-ignorable characters or bounded inter-character separators while preserving benign multilingual, punctuation, URL, email, table, and code controls.
+- Bound total in-flight LLM requests across analyzers sharing an event loop and configured limit, improving behavior with rate-limited providers.
+
+## Breaking Changes and Migration
+
+- None. Existing users automatically receive the 600-second default.
+- Deployments that require a different aggregate deadline can set `SKILLSPECTOR_MAX_WORKFLOW_SECONDS` to a positive finite number of seconds. Invalid, zero, negative, infinite, and NaN values retain the 600-second default.
+
+## Deprecations
+
+- None.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `uv lock --check` — passed.
+- `uv run --no-sync pytest -q` — 3,985 passed, 14 skipped, 38 deselected, and 4 expected failures.
+- `uv run --no-sync ruff check src/ tests/ scripts/` — passed.
+- `uv run --no-sync ruff format --check src/ tests/ scripts/` — 201 files already formatted.
+- Built wheel and source distributions; `twine check` passed for both artifacts.
+- `skillspector --version` — reported `SkillSpector v2.11.1`.
+- The GitHub release helper dry run resolved tag `v2.11.1` and the matching versioned release notes.
+- `git diff --check` — passed.
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+- The deadline is an aggregate ceiling, not a per-analyzer allowance. All work in a direct or recursive scan shares the same configured budget.
+- Changing `SKILLSPECTOR_MAX_WORKFLOW_SECONDS` requires starting a new SkillSpector process because the setting is resolved when the workflow state module is imported.
+- Provider-specific request timeouts and deterministic byte, artifact, and analyzer ceilings remain independently enforced.
