 # Kudzu Releases
 
+## 0.12.1 - Shared Layout, History, Focus, And Scroll
+
+Kudzu 0.12.1 completes the accepted same-document project route group with
+explicit history, focus, announcement, and scroll behavior.
+
+### Changed in 0.12.1
+
+- Fixed non-hash enhanced navigation so the existing heading/main focus
+  fallback runs instead of treating an empty hash as a target.
+- Proved push, back, and forward navigation with retained layout state and
+  freshly recreated route state.
+- Added route titles, a native hash anchor, and an intrinsic hash destination to
+  the maintained project application.
+- Proved polite navigation announcements, hash scrolling, top scrolling, and
+  browser-native links outside the configured route group.
+- Updated `create-kudzu@0.1.114` to generate projects on
+  `@kudzujs/core@^0.12.1`.
+
+### Output Evidence
+
+- The application emits 36 files, 106,096 raw / 38,201 aggregate gzip bytes,
+  and deploy digest
+  `4f1ce541af0794fcb17458ad37db7b32beb434f3a83cb7f949f13b3e4536fe1c`.
+- The maintained enhanced session uses 16 JavaScript files totaling 58,974 raw
+  / 22,129 aggregate gzip bytes, 4 raw / 5 gzip bytes above `0.12.0`.
+- `/help` remains complete HTML with 0 B JavaScript.
+- No semantic primitive, compiler pass, core compiler line, runtime concept,
+  public API, or browser route registry was added.
+
+### Validation
+
+- Required Chrome proves focused anchor activation, back/forward, layout
+  retention, route cleanup/reset, title/live updates, hash/heading focus, and
+  hash/top scroll behavior.
+- Seven fresh Chrome profiles record a 1.3 ms navigation median with a 1.3-1.5
+  ms range. The range overlaps `0.12.0`, so no latency change is claimed.
+- The full suite, package smoke, registry metadata, and fresh installation are
+  release gates.
+
+### Limits
+
+Enhanced navigation remains explicit and route-group scoped. Routes outside the
+group use browser-native document navigation.
+
+### Upgrade
+
+```sh
+npm install @kudzujs/core@^0.12.1
+```

 - **Done condition:** keyboard and browser-history journeys pass with native
   recovery.
 
+**Completion evidence:** the project application adds route titles, one native
+hash anchor, and one intrinsic hash destination. Required Chrome activates the
+focused anchor, retains the layout and workspace state through push, back, and
+forward navigation, releases and recreates dirty route state, updates the title
+and polite live status, focuses hash and heading destinations, applies explicit
+hash and top scroll policies, and leaves `/help` browser-native outside the
+approved route group.
+
+The journey exposed one existing JavaScript value bug: an absent hash produced
+the empty string and prevented the nullish heading/main focus fallback. The
+navigation runtime now produces `null` for that case. This packet adds zero
+semantic primitives, ModuleIR kinds, compiler passes, core compiler lines,
+runtime concepts, normalization rules, adapter rules, or public APIs. Runtime
+source remains 351 lines. One positive application fixture gains the complete
+acceptance journey; `/help` remains 0 B JavaScript.

+The fixture emits 36 files totaling 106,096 raw / 38,201 aggregate gzip bytes
