+## [0.5.0] - 2026-10-20
+
+### Added
+
+- Semantic buttons: solid buttons take a status class (`.mote-success`,
+  `.mote-warning`, `.mote-error`, `.mote-info`, `.mote-muted`) — gated, so
+  the class must be on the button itself. Themed sections (error notes,
+  toasts, page-level status) never recolor the actions inside them; the
+  intent of an action is declared at the action site. Text color on
+  semantic solids is `--mote-on-status` (set by the status classes to the
+  page color, AA-verified in both themes).
+- Ghost buttons (`.mote-ghost`): transparent fill, status-tinted border
+  and text. Gated like solids — the status class on the element itself
+  provides the tint, never the surrounding context.
+- `.mote-default` and `.mote-reset`: control status inheritance for
+  the non-gated consumers (badges, notes, spinners, …). Default forces the
+  accent down the tree; reset clears the inherited status so each
+  element's own classes decide.
+- `.mote-row` + `.mote-push`: flex row helper + right-align helper —
+  for headers, footers, toolbars, chip lists, form rows.
+- `.mote-display` + `--mote-display` token: opt-in display/hero scale.
+- `--mote-grid-min` variable on `.mote-grid`: density without a class API.
+- `.mote-sr-only`: visually-hidden helper; doubles as a skip link when
+  focused.
+- Semantic pagination: `nav[aria-label="pagination"]` — flex row of
+  pills with `aria-current` state, no class (mirrors breadcrumbs).
+- Footer baseline: `body > footer` gets a top border and block padding
+  (the quiet sibling of the site header).
+- `.mote-card` is now `display: flex; flex-direction: column` —
+  CTA-in-bottom-of-card aligns with `margin-block-start: auto` for free.
+- Theme-aware hover deepening for buttons: `color-mix(accent/status,
+  fg 14%)` — darkens in light themes, brightens in dark ones.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Docs: buttons and statuses section (gating rationale, ghost inheritance),
+  `.mote-default`/`.mote-reset` guidance, new component table entries.
+
+### Fixed
+
+Layout shell (`mote.components.css`), from the ten-app evaluation:
+- `.mote-doc` mobile: nav/main/aside overlapped in one grid cell — the
+  collapse media query now resets `grid-row: auto`.
+- `.mote-doc` blowout on wide content: content tracks are `minmax(0, 1fr)`
+  (+ `min-width: 0` on items); a wide table scrolls inside `main`, never the page.
+- Rail nav no longer renders as the horizontal pill row: pill styles scoped
+  to `body > header nav`; rails get a quiet vertical list with
+  `aria-current` states.
+ Sticky rails and anchored content clear the site header via
+  `--mote-rail-top` (token) and automatic `scroll-padding` when
+  `body > header` exists. `body.mote-doc` gains page gutters.
+
+Core (`mote.css`):
+- `:user-invalid` kept its error border through hover and focus
+  (`:is(input, select, textarea):user-invalid`, placed to win the cascade) —
+  previously the field the user must fix showed the accent focus border.
+- `--mote-accent-deep` now brightens in dark mode (`color-mix(accent,
+  white 14%)`); dark hovers, badges and notes no longer dim.
+- `input[type="range"]` stripped of text-input chrome; `select[multiple]`
+  restored to native listbox appearance.
+- `[role="status"]` / `[role="alert"]` read `--mote-status` (semantic
+  colors as fallback) instead of hard-coding.
+- `.mote-note` gains block margin; `.mote-badge` line-height tamed in
+  headings; `blockquote` code no longer italic; `.mote-card` first/last-child
+  rules moved into `:where()` so page classes win; dialogs get
+  `max-width: min(90vw, 44rem)`; `.mote-avatar` sized by
+  `--mote-avatar` token; `.mote-skeleton` gets intrinsic size.
+- Print: the light palette is forced on paper — dark fills (zebra, notes,
+  open details) no longer print as near-black bands.
+- Focus rings no longer fade in (box-shadow removed from transitions).
+
+Components:
+- Popovers and dialogs now animate on exit, not just entrance
+  (closed-state deltas for the `allow-discrete` transitions).
+- `details[name]` content padding fixed for multiple children
+  (was padding every child; now only the last).
+- Toasts documented with `popover="manual"` (auto popovers light-dismiss);
+  samples corrected.
+
+### Changed
+
+- README and docs CDN snippets use `mote.css@0` (range pin) so they never go
+  stale; exact-version pinning documented for reproducible builds.
+- Docs: wide-table wrapper recipe, form-width guidance, document-shell
+  real-page notes (gutters, rail-top token), print caveats for exclusive
+  accordions, toast stacking guidance; section numbering fixed.
