 ### Fixed
 
+- **The dashboard keeps a catalog product's named criteria lists**
+  (`actionagent`). A product's `criteria: { shared: [...], strict: [...] }`
+  parsed and round-tripped in `ActiveAgent::Evals::Catalog`, but
+  `ScenarioProduct` had nowhere to keep it: an import dropped the lists, the
+  export left them out, the stored digest never matched the records'
+  export, and the import preview reported the product as `update` on every
+  re-import of an unchanged file. The lists are now stored on the product
+  and exported as imported, so the documents and digests match and an
+  unchanged file previews as unchanged. Both import modes take the
+  document's lists, as they take a set's `criteria`. A set still runs on
+  its own `criteria`; which product lists a run uses is left for later.
+  Existing installs add the column with
+  `bin/rails generate action_agent:install --skip` and `bin/rails db:migrate`
+  (`add_catalog_product_criteria`); imports keep working, without the lists,
+  until it runs. Lists dropped by an earlier version come back when the
+  original document is imported again (#687).
 - **A self-hosted dashboard shows its own trace endpoint** (`actionagent`).
   The Organization page's Telemetry card showed the platform's `/v1/traces`.
   A self-hosted engine takes traces at `<mount>/api/traces`, and the card
