+## [5.4.0] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Added
+
+- `File.save(path, options)` writes the conditioned recording to disk as 16-bit PCM mono at `sampleRate`, in WAV, AIFF or FLAC, off the event loop. The container comes from the path's extension (`.wav`, `.aiff`, `.aif`, `.aifc` or `.flac`) or from `options.format`: decibri reads a file by its content and writes one by its name, and an extension it does not recognise rejects rather than defaulting. `options.compression` sets the FLAC compression level, 0 to 8 with 5 the default. Resolves to a `SaveReport`: `clippedSamples` counts finite samples outside full scale clamped to `[-1.0, 1.0]`, and `nonFiniteSamples` counts non-finite samples that never reach the file (NaN is written as silence, an infinity as full scale). Saving consumes the source and rejects with `FILE_ENGAGED` once the stream is engaged, exactly as `analyze()` does.
+- `AudioWriter`, a Writable file sink for PCM audio. Pipe a `File`, or any stream of int16 or float32 PCM bytes, into it and the whole stream is written as one audio file when it finishes, with the same containers, encoding, clamp and non-finite handling as `File.save`, so the two spellings produce the same bytes. Takes `sampleRate` (required), `dtype`, and the `File.save` options; `report` carries the `SaveReport` after `'finish'`.
+- Error code `FILE_WRITE_FAILED` on `DecibriError`, for an encoded file the filesystem refuses to write. The message names the path and the underlying I/O failure.
+- `File` reads AIFF, AIFF-C and FLAC as well as WAV, and reads WAV in mu-law, A-law, 8-bit and 24-bit as well as the 16-bit PCM and 32-bit float it already read. The container is identified from the file's own bytes, so the path's extension does not decide how a file is read. No option changes: the same `new File(path)` and `File.open(path)` open more files.
+- Error code `AUDIO_FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED` on `DecibriError`, for a file in a container or an encoding decibri cannot decode. The message names the container tag, codec or sample width in question.
+- Error code `AUDIO_FILE_MALFORMED` on `DecibriError`, for a file whose bytes are not what its format requires where they sit. The message names the byte offset and what was expected there.
+- Error code `AUDIO_FILE_TRUNCATED` on `DecibriError`, for a file that ends before the audio it declares. The message names what was needed against what was available.
+- `LICENSE`, the full Apache 2.0 text, in the published package.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **BREAKING: a WAV whose declared data length is not a whole number of frames now fails to open**, throwing a `DecibriError` with code `AUDIO_FILE_TRUNCATED`. It previously opened and delivered audio a fraction of a frame short of its own declaration, with nothing to indicate it. A file shorter than its declared length, which is what an interrupted download leaves behind, already failed to open and is unaffected.
+- A file declaring no channels carries `AUDIO_FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED` where it carried `WAV_INVALID`.
+
+### Removed
+
+- **BREAKING: the `WAV_INVALID` error code.** `AUDIO_FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED`, `AUDIO_FILE_MALFORMED` and `AUDIO_FILE_TRUNCATED` replace it, splitting what was one failure into the three the caller acts on differently. Code branching on `err.code === 'WAV_INVALID'` must be updated; `catch (e) { if (e instanceof DecibriError) ... }` catches all three unchanged.
