 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.6.2] - 2026-06-15
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Repaired stale Claude skill links during upgrades by validating their real
+  targets instead of trusting the previously recorded link strategy.
+- Made POSIX skill links relative so copied, moved, or renamed workspaces can
+  be upgraded without retaining links to their old absolute location.
+- Reconciled removed packs and IDE targets by deleting obsolete
+  installer-managed skills, tools, links, and unchanged generated stubs while
+  preserving modified or user-owned files.
+- Made `npx lumina-wiki install` detect and upgrade an enclosing workspace when
+  invoked from a nested directory, while explicit `--directory` and `--cwd`
+  targets remain exact.
+- Fixed interactive locale switching for existing and legacy workspaces,
+  including default-language cascading and confirmation binding to the final
+  resolved locale.
+- Made installation fail clearly when required Claude skill links cannot be
+  created instead of writing successful state for a partial install.

 If you reinstall Lumina-Wiki on a project that already has a `wiki/` from an earlier version, just run `npx lumina-wiki install` again. The installer updates scripts, schemas, and skills; **your content in `wiki/`, `raw/`, and `log.md` is not modified**.
 
+You can run the command from the project root or one of its subfolders. If you remove a pack or AI tool from the setup, Lumina removes its old managed commands and unchanged setup files. Files you edited are kept with a warning. If the whole project was copied, moved, or renamed, Lumina repairs its managed links during the upgrade.

 If the installer warns that older entries are missing newer frontmatter fields, you have two ways to backfill them:
