-## What's New in v2.42.0
+## What's New in v2.44.0
 
 ### New Features
 
+- **Non-API-key provider extensions** — support for provider extensions like Claude Code CLI that don't require traditional API keys. (#2382)
+- **Docker sandbox template** — official Docker template for running GSD auto mode in an isolated container. (#2360)
+- **Per-prompt token cost display** — opt-in `show_token_cost` preference shows per-prompt and cumulative session cost in the footer. (#2357)
+- **"Change project root" in web UI** — switch project directories from the web interface without restarting. (#2355)
+- **DB-backed planning tools** — write-side state transitions now use atomic SQLite tool calls instead of markdown mutation, improving reliability and enabling structured queries. (#2141)
+
+### Key Fixes
+
+- **Post-migration cleanup** — pragmas, rollbacks, tool gaps, and stale code cleaned up after DB migration. (#2410)
+- **Planning data loss prevention** — destructive upsert and post-unit re-import no longer overwrite planning data. (#2370)
+- **Memory and resource leaks** — fixes across TUI, LSP, DB, and automation subsystems. (#2314)
+- **DECISIONS.md preservation** — freeform content in DECISIONS.md is no longer overwritten on decision save. (#2319)
+- **Auto-stash before squash merge** — dirty files are automatically stashed before merge, with filenames surfaced in errors. (#2298)
+- **Extension TypeScript detection** — `.js` extension files containing TypeScript syntax are detected with a suggestion to rename. (#2386)
+
+### v2.43.0 Highlights
+
+- **Forensics dedup** — opt-in duplicate detection before issue creation. (#2105)
+- **Fast service tier outside auto-mode** — `/gsd fast` now applies in interactive sessions too. (#2126)
+- **Startup optimizations** — pre-compiled extensions, compile cache, and batch discovery for faster boot. (#2125)
+- **Stale process cleanup** — web server kills stale process before launch to prevent EADDRINUSE. (#2034)
+
+### v2.42.0 Highlights
+
 - **Declarative workflow engine** — define YAML workflows that execute through auto-loop, enabling repeatable multi-step automations without code. (#2024)
 - **Unified rule registry & event journal** — centralized rule registry, event journal with query tool, and standardized tool naming convention. (#1928)
 - **PR risk checker** — CI classifies changed files by system area and surfaces risk level on pull requests. (#1930)
@@ -35,16 +59,6 @@ One command. Walk away. Come back to a built project with clean git history.
 - **Web mode CLI flags** — `--host`, `--port`, and `--allowed-origins` flags give full control over the web server bind address and CORS policy. (#1873)
 - **ADR attribution** — architecture decision records now distinguish human, agent, and collaborative authorship. (#1830)
 
-### Key Fixes
-
-- **Node v24 web boot** — resolved `ERR_UNSUPPORTED_NODE_MODULES_TYPE_STRIPPING` that prevented `gsd --web` from starting on Node v24. (#1864)
-- **Worktree health check for all ecosystems** — broadened from JS-only to 17+ ecosystems (Rust, Go, Python, Java, etc.). (#1860)
-- **Doctor roadmap atomicity** — roadmap checkbox gating now checks summary on disk, not issue detection, preventing false unchecks. (#1915)
-- **Windows path handling** — 8.3 short path resolution, backslash normalization in bash commands, PowerShell browser launch, and parenthesis escaping. (#1960, #1863, #1870, #1872)
-- **Auth token persistence** — web UI auth token survives page refreshes via sessionStorage. (#1877)
-- **German/non-English locale git errors** — git commands now force `LC_ALL=C` to prevent locale-dependent parse failures.
-- **Orphan web server process** — stale web server processes on port 3000 are now cleaned up automatically.
