v0.8.13 fixes stale iteration-0 output in while/do-while loops and rejects invalid boolean priority values in catalog parsing. Agentic workflows now support community catalog submissions.

Why it matters: Loop condition bugs cause incorrect control flow in loop-based workflows; catalog parsing fix prevents malformed data ingestion. Agent Governance v1.2.0 required for new features. Test in dev if using loops.
