+## [8.0.1] - 2026-05-08 — Drop telemetry `profile` field
+
+**Patch release.** Mechanical revert of the `profile` field added in 8.0.0
+to the heartbeat payload. The field was sourced from `AXONFLOW_PROFILE`,
+which collides with the existing governance-engine env var of the same
+name (`platform/agent/profile.go`, ADR-036) — a customer setting
+`AXONFLOW_PROFILE=strict` for governance would have telemetry POSTs
+rejected by the server validator. The field also had no analytics
+consumer; `deployment_mode` (`self_hosted | community_saas | unknown`)
+already carries the topology dimension. Removing it eliminates the
+collision class entirely.
+
+No public API changes; `pip install --upgrade axonflow` is sufficient.
+
+### Removed
+
+- **Telemetry `profile` field.** `_build_payload` no longer reads
+  `AXONFLOW_PROFILE` and no longer emits `profile` in the heartbeat
+  payload. The env var reverts to its sole governance-engine meaning.
+  Any internal analytics queries that referenced the column should
+  switch to `deployment_mode` (already populated, same wire shape).
+
 ## [8.0.0] - 2026-05-08 — Decision history API + telemetry simplification
 
 **Major release.** The headline feature is the new decision-history client API:
