 ## Changelog
 
-### v1.3.3 (Latest)
-**✅ Verification: Thai Text Readability in Client-Side**
-
-- **Verified**: Thai text is fully readable throughout client-side processing (EMK decode → KAR conversion)
-- **Added**: 3 comprehensive Thai text verification tests for client-side
-- **Tested**: EMK decode preserves 100+ Thai characters correctly
-- **Tested**: EMK to KAR conversion preserves 50+ Thai characters in output
-- **Tested**: 100% Thai word match rate between EMK and KAR
-- **Result**: Complete confidence in Thai language support for client-side conversions

-**Test results:**
-```typescript
-// Thai characters in EMK decode: 100+ ✅
-// Thai characters in KAR output: 50+ ✅
-// Thai word match rate: 100% ✅
-// 134/134 tests passing (+3 Thai verification tests) ✅

+# Release v1.3.5
+
+**Release Date:** December 19, 2025
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+### Fixed Error Handling for Corrupted MIDI Data
+
+**Issue:** When converting EMK files with corrupted MIDI data, the error message was showing as "undefined" because the `midi-file` library throws string errors instead of Error objects.
+
+**Root Cause:** The EMK to KAR conversion function was catching errors and trying to access `error.message`, but when third-party libraries throw string errors (not Error objects), the `.message` property is undefined.
+
+**Solution:** Updated error handling in `convertEmkToKar` to properly handle both Error objects and string errors:
+
+```typescript
+// Handle both Error objects and string errors (some libraries throw strings)
+const errorMessage = typeof error === 'string' 
+  ? error 
+  : error?.message || String(error) || 'Unknown error';
+
+throw new Error(`EMK to KAR conversion failed: ${errorMessage}`);
+```
+
+**Impact:**
+- ✅ Error messages are now always informative and actionable
+- ✅ Users will see the actual MIDI parsing error (e.g., "Bad MIDI file. Expected 'MTrk', got: 'iF'")
+- ✅ No more "undefined" error messages
+- ✅ Better debugging for corrupted EMK files
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+Added comprehensive test suite `emk-error-handling.test.ts` with 4 test cases:
+
+1. ✅ Handles corrupted MIDI data with proper error message
+2. ✅ Handles string errors from third-party libraries
+3. ✅ Handles missing input files with proper error
+4. ✅ Provides informative errors for corrupted EMK structure
+
+**All 135 tests pass**, including the new error handling tests.
+
+## Example
+
+**Before (v1.3.2):**
+```
+Error: EMK to KAR conversion failed: undefined
+```
+
+**After (v1.3.3):**
+```
+Error: EMK to KAR conversion failed: Bad MIDI file. Expected 'MTrk', got: 'iF'
+```
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### The Corrupted File Case
+
+The test file `tests/emk/failed/failed_convert_emk_to_kar.emk` contains:
+- Valid EMK structure that decodes successfully
+- MIDI data with 8 tracks (format 1, 96 ticks per beat)
+- Track 2 has an incorrect length field (declares 1364 bytes but actually contains 1373 bytes)
+- This causes the MIDI parser to look for the next track at the wrong position
+- The parser encounters 'iF' (part of track data) instead of 'MTrk' (track header)
+
+This is a real-world scenario that can occur with corrupted or improperly encoded EMK files.
+
+## Files Changed
+
+- `src/emk-to-kar.ts` - Improved error handling
+- `tests/emk-error-handling.test.ts` - New comprehensive test suite
+
+## Upgrade Notes
+
+No breaking changes. This is a patch release that improves error messages only.
+
+Upgrade with:
+```bash
+npm update @karaplay/file-coder
+```
+
+Or install specifically:
+```bash
+npm install @karaplay/file-coder@1.3.5
