 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [4.0.4] - 2026-06-25
+
+### Added
+
+- **MCP docs topic resources** — when `docs.enabled` and `mcpServer.enabled`, each user `docs.topics` key is auto-exposed as `<mcpId>://docs/<topicKey>` (`text/markdown`, same body as `myapp docs <topic>`). Built-in `docs schema` / `api` / `skill` / `mcp` are not auto-exposed.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Claude Code plugin skill** — `mcp bundle` plugin zip includes an MCP routing `SKILL.md` only (no shell catalog, no `reference.md`). `install --skill` unchanged.
+- **Validation** — `mcpServer.resources` URIs that collide with auto docs topic resources are rejected at schema validation time.

 - Migrate schemas: rename every `children` property to **`commands`**; move positional definitions to **`CliPositional`** objects on `positionals` and strip `positional` / `argMin` / `argMax` from flag definitions under `options` (flags only carry `name`, `description`, `kind`, and optional `shortName`).
 - Imports: use `CliPositional` where needed; replace `CliOptionDef` with `CliOption` or `CliPositional` as appropriate.
