Release v6.0.2: stop shipping the evals submodule

It broke plugin installs for some users (#1778, #1774). The eval harness
now lives in its own repo, separate from the published plugin.

 # Superpowers Release Notes
 
+## v6.0.2 (2026-06-16)
+
+### Install Fixes
+
+- **We no longer ship the `evals` submodule.** It broke plugin installs for some users, so the eval harness now lives in its own repo, separate from the published plugin. (#1778, #1774)
+
+## v6.0.1 (2026-06-16)
+
+### Codex Fixes
+
+- **Version display in the brainstorm companion** — packaged Codex plugins ship without a root `package.json`, so the visual companion reported its version as "unknown". `readSuperpowersVersion()` now falls back to `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` when `package.json` is absent.
+- **Cleaner Codex plugin sync** — the sync-to-codex script now excludes `.gitmodules` and `.pre-commit-config.yaml`, keeping repo metadata out of the packaged Codex plugin.
+
 ## v6.0.0 (2026-06-16)
 
 Superpowers 6.0 is a big release. The headline is a rewrite of how `subagent-driven-development` reviews each task — cheaper, stricter, and harder to game.
