 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [5.172.0] — 2026-09-24
+
+### Changed
+
+- The `hq daemon` updater keeps hq-cloud current as well. Every 6 hours it
+  installs the newest hq-cloud with the same major version into
+  `~/.hq/daemon/hq-cloud`, and it restarts sync and the outpost heartbeat
+  right after an update. The daemon runs sync, and the heartbeat when that
+  hq-cloud has `hq-outpost-heartbeat`, from whichever copy is newer: this one
+  or the one bundled with the CLI.
+- `hq daemon` sync pushes local changes as they happen (`--event-push`), the
+  same as outpost sync does today.
+
 ## [5.171.0] — 2026-09-24
