 ## Unreleased
 
+## 0.10.2 (2026-10-17)
+
+- FIX: a busy host that answers a ping late no longer has its live link dropped. `DeviceLink` now counts any pong up to the latest ping, a reply to one of its own waiting requests, or a frame on one of its own streams as hearing from the host, and counts silence from its first ping rather than from the connect, so a host that answers even that first ping late stays online. A host that goes silent is still dropped after two silent ping rounds (`2 × pingMs`, checked once a round). Host events and broadcasts alone still do not keep a link up: they show only that the host can talk, not that it hears the device, so only an answer to something the device sent proves the round trip.
+
 ## 0.10.1 (2026-10-16)
 
 - FIX: the browser pairing test opens the pairing page over the test browser's own private CDP pipe once Chromium answers there, not from the launch command line. On a slow first start Chromium's network service quits after 15 s unanswered and took the launch page's request with it, so the test silently sat out its 180 s deadline; the page now loads after Chromium restarts the service, and a page Chromium cannot open fails at once with Chromium's own navigation error.
