 ## Status
 
-Administrators can register persistent shared quest boards by targeting a block within five blocks and running `/questadmin createboard`. Right-clicking any registered board opens the native quest-board dialog. Quest creation, delivery, and claims remain under development.
+Administrators can register persistent shared quest boards by targeting a block within five blocks and running `/questadmin createboard`. Right-clicking any registered board opens a native dialog where a player can request a block and quantity while escrowing the exact reward stack held in their main hand. Every board and `/quests list` show the same active quests with requested blocks, rewards, issuers, and time remaining. Players can complete quests at any board or with `/quests complete <quest>` by delivering the required blocks. Exact escrowed rewards are granted immediately, and delivered blocks are held for the issuer. Claim collection remains under development.

+## 2026-09-05 — Quest creation and reward escrow
+
+- Added board-dialog and `/quests create <block> <quantity>` creation using a valid block material, positive quantity, and the exact held reward stack.
+- Escrow preserves full Bukkit item metadata in durable Base64-backed YAML and rolls inventory removal back if persistence fails.
+- Quests receive UUID identifiers and UTC creation and seven-day expiration timestamps.
+- Verified 26 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-09-05 — Shared quest browsing
+
+- Added globally shared active-quest listings to every board and to `/quests` and `/quests list`.
+- Listings include requested blocks, exact reward summaries, issuer names, and boundary-safe remaining durations.
+- Added persisted lifecycle status with backward-compatible active defaults and filtered stale quest IDs from contextual completion and cancellation suggestions.
+- Verified 37 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-09-05 — Block delivery and quest completion
+
+- Added board actions and `/quests complete <quest>` for exact requested-material delivery from player inventories.
+- Completion serializes state transitions, holds delivered blocks in durable issuer claims, and grants exact escrowed rewards with owner-protected overflow drops.
+- Added durable online and next-login issuer notifications and rollback before persistence succeeds.
+- Verified 49 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.

 ## Acceptance criteria
 
-- [ ] A player can create a quest through a registered quest board by selecting a valid block material, a positive quantity, and reward items from their inventory.
-- [ ] Reward items must exist in the issuer's inventory and are removed only when quest creation succeeds.
-- [ ] Removed rewards are held durably in escrow by the quest system.
-- [ ] A created quest records a unique identifier, issuer UUID and current name, requested material and quantity, exact reward items, creation time, and expiration time.
-- [ ] Each quest expires exactly seven days after successful creation.
-- [ ] Invalid input, insufficient reward items, or persistence failure leaves the issuer's inventory unchanged and creates no quest.
-- [ ] When player commands are enabled, `/quests create ...` provides equivalent validated creation behavior with contextual autocomplete.
-- [ ] Quest state and item metadata survive server restarts without duplication or loss.
-- [ ] Automated tests verify validation, escrow, rollback, timestamps, command routing, and persistence.
