 ## Changelog
 
+### v3.1.2
+- **fix:** fallback models returning text instead of tool_calls in a tool loop now trigger the next model in the chain. Previously Haiku would say "Lass mich das starten:" as text but never call a tool — conversation died.
+- **feat:** `[FALLBACK-NO-TOOLS]` debug log category for tool-format violations
+
+### v3.1.1
+- **fix:** empty-response detection — models returning zero content now trigger the next fallback instead of silently stopping the chain. Previously Haiku would return empty (0 bytes) and the bridge treated it as success, leaving the user with no response.
+- **feat:** `[EMPTY]` and `[FALLBACK-EMPTY]` debug log categories for diagnosing empty model responses
+
 ### v3.1.0
 - **feat:** cross-provider fallback chains — Sonnet → Haiku → Gemini Flash → Codex (was single-model fallback only)
 - **feat:** fallback chain loop — tries each model in order until one succeeds, logs each attempt
