Full Release Notes

## 1.77.0

### Bug fixes

- Fix validator daemon sending an A2A fetch payload that older hubs interpreted
  as an asset search, which could cause the Hub to deduct GDI credits from the
  node owner on every poll cycle. The validator now sends `tasks_only: true` as
  an explicit no-charge signal alongside `validation_only: true`, ensuring the
  Hub short-circuits asset search on both old and new Hub versions.

  Impact: only affected users who enabled `EVOLVER_VALIDATOR_ENABLED=true` on a
  Hub released before 2026-04-30. If your node was charged `fetch_gdi_cost`
  repeatedly while running the validator, you have already been refunded in
  full by the hub-side remediation (refund reason `refund_fetch_gdi_cost`).
