 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.28.1] - 2026-07-12
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **WebSocket reconnect storm on short-lived connections.** A gateway that
+  accepted the socket and immediately closed it cleanly (auth-expressed-as-
+  close, LB idle policy, misconfigured proxy) made `stream: 'websocket'`
+  reconnect in a zero-delay hot loop. A connection that lived under ~2s now
+  sits out the same 500ms→8s doubling backoff the SSE loop uses (a long-lived
+  connection still reconnects immediately).
+- **A throwing event handler no longer poisons the stream loop.** Handler
+  exceptions used to propagate into the SSE/WS loop's catch — read as a
+  CONNECTION failure (backoff + reconnect + cursor replay) — and, on the
+  `sendText` local-emit path, rejected a `sendText` whose turn had actually
+  succeeded. Handlers are now isolated per-call (logged, remaining handlers
+  still run).
+- **Custom voice-tool bridges may throw.** With `openCompanionCall` and a
+  bring-your-own bridge whose `invoke` rejected, the model never received a
+  `function_call_output` — the voice turn hung until the provider timeout,
+  plus an unhandled rejection. A rejecting bridge now answers the model with
+  `{ ok: false, error }`.
+- Timer hygiene: the 20s voice-tool timeout and the 10s microphone-acquire
+  timeout are now cleared on normal completion instead of lingering.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`CompanionErrorCodeValue` is now DERIVED** from the drift-tested server
+  vocabulary plus the SDK-synthesized list, instead of hand-retyped — the old
+  copy had silently drifted 5 codes behind (`not_representative`,
+  `call_unsupported`, `call_connect_failed`, `call_dependency_missing` now
+  autocomplete). A new drift test pins every `new CompanionError(...)` call
+  site to a declared code. Types-only; no runtime behavior change.
+- `package.json` now declares `"engines": { "node": ">=18" }` and the README
+  documents that the package ships **ESM-only** (modern bundlers and Node ≥ 18
+  consume it as-is; there is no CJS build).
+
+## [0.28.0] - 2026-07-12
+
+### Added
+
+- **Turn correlation (`turnId` → `replyTo`).** Every `sendText` now mints a
+  `turnId` and sends it with the turn; servers on API ≥ 1.1 echo it back as
+  `replyTo` on the reply's `companion.message` — including a reply that lands
+  after an app-tool pause. `awaitReply`'s buffered fallback now resolves ONLY
+  on the correlated reply on those servers, so a proactive world-state
+  reaction or a confirm outcome can no longer steal the resolution (the known
+  0.25–0.27 caveat). Against older servers the legacy resolve-on-first
+  behavior is kept automatically (capability-detected via
+  `X-Pouchy-Api-Version`). New `MessagePayload` type (`{ text, replyTo? }`).
+- **`needs_event_stream` error.** With `awaitReply` and no `start()`, a turn
+  that pauses on app tool calls used to wait out the full `replyTimeoutMs`
+  and then time out — the post-resume reply can only arrive on the event
+  stream. It now rejects immediately with `code: "needs_event_stream"`.
+- **Typed confirm errors.** The confirm/step-up endpoints now carry codes:
+  `confirm_not_found`, `confirm_resolved`, `step_up_required`,
+  `step_up_failed` (vocabulary is append-only). The client no longer burns an
+  `onAuthError` token refresh on a step-up 401.
+- **`sendWorldState` returns `injected` and `reacted`** — whether the batch
+  triggered a live-call inject or a proactive text reaction (previously
+  discarded).
+- **429 `hint` surfaced.** The demo-budget hint ("provision a project…") is
+  appended to the thrown `CompanionError` message instead of being dropped.
+- **`CompanionErrorCodeValue`** — `CompanionError.code` is now typed as the
+  known vocabulary union (plus open `string`), so `switch` statements get
+  autocomplete and exhaustiveness help.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`replyTimeoutMs` now bounds the WHOLE awaitReply operation.** Previously
+  only the buffered-fallback wait was bounded — a stalled streaming response
+  could hang the promise indefinitely. The deadline now starts before the
+  POST and aborts the in-flight stream on expiry.
+- **`stop()` immediately followed by `start()` no longer leaves two live
+  receive loops.** Loops carry a generation token; a stale loop exits instead
+  of resurrecting alongside the new one (it double-polled the stream forever).
+- **`connectCall` cleans up on provider-initiated teardown.** A dropped call
+  (pc failure / provider disconnect) now runs the same unsubscribe +
+  `endSession({ transcript })` consolidation that `close()` runs — previously
+  the voice_inject listener leaked and the call was never consolidated into
+  memory. The buffered transcript is also capped (drop-oldest 200).
+- **A throwing `onDelta` handler no longer leaks the streaming reader** — the
+  stream is cancelled before the error propagates.
+- **`remember`'s `category` is now typed `'relationship' |
+  'shared_experience'`** — the only two values the server keeps; anything
+  else was silently discarded.
+- **`/input` image constraints now error instead of silently dropping.** A
+  non-`data:` URL or a 5th image is a 400 `invalid_request` — previously the
+  image was filtered out and the model just never saw it.
+- **OpenAPI drift**: `/input` documents `stream` + `turnId` + image rules;
+  confirm 200 documents `exec_failed`/`outcome`/`retryable`; hello.ack lists
+  `modalities`/`representative`/`visitorPaired`; `/pair` documents its body.
