 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.2.5] - 2026-10-31
+
+A documentation and test release. Nothing you execute changes: `dist/` differs from 1.2.4 only in one comment, the
+JSDoc of `ConnectionManager.createSubscriberClient`, which no longer calls cluster Pub/Sub experimental.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- The README states that Pub/Sub works in cluster mode: channel and pattern subscribers both receive the
+  message. The same sentence in the `createSubscriberClient` JSDoc described it as an experimental
+  passthrough.
+
+### Tests
+
+- The cluster end-to-end suite runs three masters on `redis:8-alpine`, formed with `redis-cli --cluster
+create`, and measures what the cluster guards claim: `keys`, `getClient`, `scan`, `flushNamespace` and the
+  administration calls that read keys throw `UNSUPPORTED_IN_CLUSTER`, a rejected `ttlSeconds` writes nothing,
+  and Pub/Sub delivers to channel and pattern subscribers. Without the `keys` guard a real cluster returned
+  2 of 6 seeded keys.
+
+## [1.2.4] - 2026-10-31
+
+Two calls now refuse input they could not honor, one error code is added, and the documentation catches up with the code.
+
+### Added
+
+- **`CACHE_ERROR_CODES.INVALID_TTL` (`cache.invalid_ttl`, HTTP 400)**, thrown for a TTL the library refuses. See Changed.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`CacheService.keys()` is refused in cluster mode.** `KEYS` carries no key, so the cluster client sends
+  it to one sampled node and the reply listed only that node's share of the keyspace, with no sign that it
+  was partial. It now throws `UNSUPPORTED_IN_CLUSTER` with `details.operation: 'keys'`, like `scan`,
+  `getClient` and `flushNamespace`. **Apply to a consumer.** A cluster deployment that called `keys()`
+  must iterate with `scan` on each node through its own client, or avoid listing keys; standalone and
+  sentinel are unchanged.
+- **`ttlSeconds` is validated, with a new error code, `cache.invalid_ttl` (HTTP 400).** `set`, `setRaw`
+  and `setNx` need a safe integer of at least 1, or none for no expiry; `expire` needs a safe integer,
+  and zero or a negative one still deletes the key, as in Redis. Anything else throws `CacheException`
+  with `INVALID_TTL` and `details.reason` set to `not_a_safe_integer` or `below_minimum`, before a command
+  is sent. **Apply to a consumer.** What now throws `INVALID_TTL`: `set`, `setRaw`, `setNx` with `0`, a negative number, a fraction, `NaN`, `Infinity` or an integer above 2^53; `expire` with a fraction, `NaN`, `Infinity` or an integer above 2^53. Redis documents `SET ... EX` as a positive integer and `EXPIRE` as an
+  integer, and answers anything else with a raw reply error that carries no `cache.*` code, so the values
+  refused here already failed. The one exception is an integer above 2^53 seconds, a TTL of about 285
+  million years, which this refuses and Redis may accept. Code that caught the raw error by its message
+  should switch to `error.code === 'cache.invalid_ttl'`.
+
+### Deprecated
+
+- **Implementation helpers exported from `@bymax-one/nest-cache/admin`** are marked `@deprecated` and will
+  leave the public surface in 2.0.0: `validateScopes`, `findScope`, `isKeyInScope`, `readScopePattern`,
+  `resolveAdminOptions`, `ResolvedAdminOptions`, `parseInfoFields`, `readRedisStats`, `readKeyTtl`,
+  `readKeyType`, `readSizeBytes`, `IRedisReader`, `IRedisReaderSource`, `IRedisPipeline`,
+  `PipelineReply` and `ICacheProbe`. They keep working in 1.x. Do not depend on them.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- The README error-code table described `cache.shutdown_timeout` as thrown when `quit()` exceeds
+  `shutdownTimeoutMs`. It never reaches the caller: the library forces `disconnect()` and emits an
+  `error` event with `reason: 'forced_disconnect'`. The row now says so.
+- The README states that `app.enableShutdownHooks()` is required for the graceful shutdown to run, and
+  carries a warning that `/admin` has no authentication of its own. It documents the `/admin` options
+  and their defaults and the exported types, constants and tokens it left out, lists `keys` among the
+  cluster-refused calls, and marks the three codes the library never throws as reserved.
+- The sentinel example passed `process.env.REDIS_PASSWORD` as `password`, which does not compile
+  for a consumer that enables `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`. It now falls back to an empty string,
+  which ioredis treats like no password.
+
+### Tests
+
+- `src/readme.spec.ts` parses the README's option-defaults table and error-code table and asserts them
+  against the resolved defaults, the minimum timeouts, `CACHE_ERROR_CODES` and the status each
+  `CacheException` carries, so a README that drifts from the code fails CI.
+
+### Internal
+
+- `check:published` compiles every README snippet, not only the ones that import the package, through the
+  TypeScript API so a syntax error in one snippet no longer hides the type errors in the others. A
+  snippet that omits its import is given the package's public names, and the names a snippet takes from
+  the surrounding prose are typed in `scripts/readme-prelude.d.ts`, so a wrong method, option or field is
+  an error instead of a call on `any`.
+- The same gate no longer excuses a wrong method on an imported type or on a union-typed value as a
+  class the README abbreviates, and a relative import in a snippet that resolves to nothing fails it.
+- The same gate now checks the typed names the snippets rely on, so a name in that declaration file that
+  stops resolving is an error instead of silently becoming `any`, and it tolerates a parse error only
+  where the parse tree shows a `...` elision, so a genuine syntax error in a snippet fails it.
+

 ### What the library owns, and what you own
 
 The library owns the **mechanism**: validating the allowlist, scanning against it, describing keys, withholding values. The application owns **which keyspaces exist**, the `origin` prose that explains them, the routes, and the guards. A cache library cannot know that another library writes at Redis root through `getClient()`, and making it depend on that library to find out would invert two packages to save an application from stating one thing about itself.
