+# ForgeFlow 0.3.1 release notes
+
+## Windows environment-doctor hotfix
+
+Version 0.3.1 fixes a Windows-only false negative in the environment doctor.
+The setup script could invoke npm successfully, install all dependencies and then
+report `spawn npm ENOENT` from Node.js. Windows exposes npm through a command
+shim (`npm.cmd`), which cannot always be executed directly through
+`child_process.execFile`.
+
+The doctor now:
+
+- uses `npm_execpath` through the active Node executable when launched by npm;
+- falls back to `cmd.exe /c npm --version` on Windows;
+- continues to invoke npm directly on Linux and macOS;
+- reports which safe invocation path succeeded;
+- reads its displayed application version from `package.json` instead of a
+  duplicated hard-coded value.
+
+Three regression tests cover npm-script execution, the Windows command-shim
+fallback and the normal non-Windows path.
+
+The npm deprecation messages printed during dependency installation are warnings
+from transitive build-tool dependencies. They were not the cause of the setup
+failure and do not prevent ForgeFlow from starting.
