 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [6.2.0] - 2026-07-14
+
+Build modernization: the browser bundles are now built with **esbuild** (webpack
+removed). No runtime/API change; the bundles are functionally equivalent (and two are
+fixed — see below).
+
+### Security / docs (audit-readiness)
+
+- **Test-backed threat model** (`docs/THREAT_MODEL.md`): states each security property, its
+  trust assumptions, and the adversarial test that enforces it (fail-closed verification,
+  covenant/marketplace enforcement, credential C1–C4 binding, revocation-bypass closure, SPV
+  inclusion, Shamir non-leak, type honesty). `test/security/threat_model_coverage.js` asserts
+  every test the model cites exists, so it can't drift. Honest "known limitations" section
+  (unaudited inherited core, the residual `ECDSA.verify()` footgun, no difficulty-retarget
+  validation, provenance pending).
+- **`SECURITY.md` refreshed** to 6.x — corrected the stale supported-versions table (was 4.x),
+  documented the 6.0.0 fail-open hardening + the residual `verify()` trap, updated build tooling
+  and disclosure history.
+
+### Build — webpack → esbuild (cutover complete)
+
+- **All 16 browser bundles are now built with esbuild** (`build/esbuild.js`; `npm run
+  build-all`). The 16 webpack configs + `webpack.base.js` are removed. One config-driven
+  builder replicates the two webpack polyfill modes (`full` browserify shims so the browser
+  Shamir CSPRNG works; `stub` externalised built-ins) and externalises the bsv root to the
+  global `bsv` for the feature bundles. Every bundle is UMD (browser global **and**
+  `require()`/AMD). The build needs **no `--openssl-legacy-provider`** and is **byte-identical
+  across Node 20 and 22** (the bundle-parity gate stays reliable).
+- Validated: **20/20 Chrome browser-smoke** on `bsv.min.js`, plus an isolated per-bundle load
+  smoke asserting all 16 shipped bundles load and expose an API.
+- **Fixed: `bsv-covenant.min.js` / `bsv-smartcontract.min.js` shrank from ~900 KB to
+  ~30–290 KB.** The old webpack `externals` key never matched the real `require('../..')`, so
+  those two wrongly embedded the whole library (yet still referenced the global, so they were
+  broken standalone). They are now correctly externalised — load `bsv.min.js` first, as
+  intended. All other bundles are functionally equivalent (bytes differ: esbuild vs webpack
+  minification).
