+## [1.2.0] - 2026-09-05
+
+### Added
+
+- **`Projection.forEachPatch(fn, skip?)`** -- emit the staged drafts as a
+  `(key, from, to)` stream, where `from` is the **untracked** current source
+  value and `to` the staged overlay. Read-only and untracked: it touches neither
+  the source nor the overlays and subscribes the caller to nothing, so it is safe
+  inside an effect. Visits exactly the overlaid keys, in `forEachOverlay` order,
+  with a **zero-allocation** per-key body (the source read is hoisted through one
+  closure per projection, never one per key). The optional `skip` reuses the
+  `ReconcilePolicy` shape `(from, to, key) => boolean` -- pass `confirmOnEcho` to
+  drop unchanged drafts. A throwing `source.get` propagates on the offending key
+  with the overlay bag intact (no writes happen anywhere in the call).
+- **`Projection.toPatch(skip?)`** -- the cold convenience that materializes the
+  same stream as `[{ key, from, to }, ...]` (same visit set, order, and values).
+  The per-key record is this form's documented allocation; reach for
+  `forEachPatch` when you need the zero-alloc callback. Both methods are present
+  on the `projectStore` / `projectRoom` / `projectQuery` handles (for
+  `projectQuery`, `from` is the cached record's field value; for `projectRoom`,
+  `room.storage.get`).
+- **`Patch<K, V>`** interface (`{ key, from, to }`) exported from `Project.d.ts`.
+
+  **The decision -- unchanged drafts are emitted by default.** An overlaid key is
+  emitted whether or not `Object.is(from, to)`. This keeps the visit set
+  definitionally equal to `forEachOverlay`, `dirtyCount()`, and `commit()`'s write
+  set, so `toPatch().length === dirtyCount()` always holds; a patch consumer is a
+  protocol (an LWW-Map op, a CRDT timestamp bump, an HTTP PATCH field), not a diff
+  viewer, so dropping an unchanged key would be silent data loss one layer out.
+  Callers who want the filter pass `forEachPatch(fn, confirmOnEcho)`. Recorded in
+  `decisions/0001-patch-emission.md` (dev-only; not shipped).
+
+### Verified
+
+- 17 new `test/patch_test.mjs` cases (visit-set exactness + order, from/to vs
+  source and overlay, `toPatch()` == the callback stream, the emit-by-default and
+  echo-skip pins, the tracking contract, `__proto__` / symbol / numeric keys,
+  `undefined` / `NaN` / `-0` under `Object.is`, fail-closed on a throwing
+  `source.get`, patch-apply == commit, and all four adapter handles); **84 tests
+  total**, `node --test`.
+- Torture green (default seed):
+  `leak=size 0/0 findings=0 warnings=0 | gc major=0 minor=0 maxMs=0.00 |
+  alloc=n/a retained=0.00 B/op growths=0`. T5 gains the metamorphic law (the
+  emitted patch applied to a fresh source copy == `commit()` into it, across the
+  fuzz corpus incl. object drafts). T6 gains Proof 4 -- `forEachPatch` over a
+  warm overlaid set passes both the heap gate (`maxMajor 0`, `maxPauseMs 4`,
+  `maxArrayBuffersGrowth 0`) and the zero-retention gate (`maxBytesPerCall 0`).
+  T9 gains control (g): a per-visit-allocating emitter body demonstrably trips the
+  retained-alloc gate through the same helper.
+
+## [1.1.1] - 2026-09-03
+
+### Added
+
+- **`VERSION`** export from `Project.js` (declared in `Project.d.ts`), kept in
+  exact sync with `package.json`, so a consumer can read the shipped version at
+  runtime.
+- Gated torture harness under `test/torture/` (dev-only; not shipped). Seven
+  tiers run strictly sequentially behind `node --expose-gc test/torture.mjs`:
+  T0 metamorphic laws, T1 degenerate inputs, T4 reconcile door, T5 oracle fuzz,
+  T6 zero-alloc gate, T7 retention soak, T9 controls. Gate RULES:
+  `maxMajor 0`, `maxPauseMs 4`, `maxArrayBuffersGrowth 0` under `stabilize:"deep"`.
+  Witnessed on a green run (default seed):
+  `leak=size 0/0 findings=0 warnings=0 | gc major=0 minor=0 maxMs=0.00 |
+  retained=0.00 B/op growths=0`
+  (the `alloc=` per-op heap-bracket reading prints as-is, `n/a` when
+  inconclusive; the binding alloc gates are `checkNoGc`, the zero-retention
+  gate below, and the structural deltas below).
+  The get/set/clear triangle on warmed keys leaves `poolGrowths` and
+  `totalAllocations` deltas both 0 over 200k toggles; 4096 build/tear-down cycles
+  return the leak tracker to `size()===0`; `prune()` reclaims >= 19990 of 20000
+  unbounded-read slots.
+- Retained-allocation gate (`measureAllocs` + `checkAllocs` with
+  `maxBytesPerCall: 0`, the profiler's zero-retention assertion): the warmed
+  get/set/clear triangle retains 0 B/call (min over 8 batches), catching
+  arbitrary JS-object retention that the asynchronously-delivered `gc.major`
+  count cannot see; an unsettled or inconclusive reading fails the gate.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Peer dependency floor is now `@zakkster/lite-signal ^1.5.0` (was a pinned
+  preview build). No behaviour change: 1.5.0 is the current stable line and
+  supplies every surface this package uses (`batch` 1.0.0, `hasObservers` 1.1.4,
+  `createRoot` 1.5.0).

 The default merge copies **own enumerable** properties, symbols included, and defines them rather than assigning them. That matters for three field names you would otherwise lose silently: a field literally called `__proto__` lands as a real own key (assignment would retarget the prototype and drop it), inherited properties on `prev` are not absorbed into the record, and a symbol-keyed draft survives the commit instead of evaporating while `dirtyCount()` reports it saved. A custom `merge` is on its own for all three.
 
+## Patch emission <sub>1.2</sub>
+
+The overlay bag already knows every staged draft's `to`; `forEachPatch` adds the source's `from` so a draft can cross the wire without re-walking the view.
+
+```js
+const draft = project(source);
+draft.set("name", "Ada");
+draft.set("email", "ada@x.dev");
+
+// Zero-alloc callback: hand each draft to a serializer / transport.
+draft.forEachPatch((key, from, to) => {
+  wire.send({ op: "set", key, prev: from, next: to });
+});
+
+// Cold convenience: materialize the same deltas as an array.
+const patch = draft.toPatch();   // [{ key: "name", from: undefined, to: "Ada" }, ...]
+```
+
+`from` is the **untracked** current source value, `to` the staged overlay. Both methods are read-only and untracked -- calling them inside an effect subscribes it to nothing -- and visit exactly the overlaid keys, in `forEachOverlay` order. `forEachPatch` allocates nothing per key; `toPatch` is the cold convenience whose per-key record is its documented allocation.
+
+An overlaid key is emitted whether or not `Object.is(from, to)`: the visit set stays equal to `dirtyCount()` and `commit()`'s write set, so a patch consumer (an LWW-Map op, a CRDT bump, an HTTP PATCH field) is never silently dropped. To suppress unchanged drafts, pass the same predicate shape reconcile uses -> `draft.forEachPatch(fn, confirmOnEcho)`. A throwing `source.get` propagates on the offending key with the overlay bag intact; callers needing atomicity use `toPatch()` (a partial array never escapes). The patch and `commit()` are two views of one delta: applying `toPatch()` to a copy of the source yields the same state `commit()` would write.

+Present on the `projectStore` / `projectRoom` / `projectQuery` handles too (for `projectQuery`, `from` is the cached record's field value).
