+## [2.6.0] - 2026-05-28
+
+### Added
+- **Verbatim string literals** — added C#-style `@"..."` strings for Norn values, assertions, regex patterns, request URLs, sequence arguments/defaults, SQL arguments, schema paths, assertion messages, and `@data` values. Backslashes are literal, doubled quotes decode to a single quote, and `{{...}}` tokens inside verbatim strings are not interpolated.
+- **Escape-aware highlighting** — `.norn` syntax highlighting now distinguishes decoded escapes from ordinary backslash text, including escaped quotes/backslashes in normal strings, regex escapes in `matches` patterns, doubled quotes in verbatim strings, and valid JSON escapes in request bodies.
+- **Configurable HTTP request timeouts** — added a shared `http.timeoutMs` option in `norn.config.json`, a VS Code `norn.request.timeoutMs` setting for local overrides, and CLI `--timeout` duration parsing for values such as `180s`, `3m`, and `300000ms`.
+
+### Changed
+- **Regex assertion authoring** — `matches` patterns are now guided toward quoted string patterns, with `@"..."` recommended for regexes that contain many backslashes or literal quotes.
+- **Starter config output** — generated `norn.config.json` files now stay minimal and rely on schema-backed IntelliSense instead of inline `_comment` guidance fields.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Quoted string handling** — escaped quotes and backslashes are decoded consistently across variables, request URLs, run arguments, sequence defaults, SQL arguments, `@data` values, `matchesSchema` paths, and assertion messages while preserving unknown escapes such as `\A` as literal text.
+- **Editor assistance with verbatim strings** — diagnostics, inlay hints, and hover providers no longer treat `{{...}}` inside verbatim strings as interpolated Norn variables.
+- **Sequence tag diagnostics** — `@smoke`, `@team(...)`, and other sequence tags are recognized by editor diagnostics again instead of being reported as unknown statements.
+- **Failure output expected values** — CLI, HTML/JUnit reports, and the response panel now prefer the resolved expected value for failed assertions instead of falling back to the raw expression text.
+- **Test Explorer environment resolution** — Test Explorer now uses the only available `.nornenv` environment for isolated single-env fixtures when no active environment has been selected, fixing nested regression cases such as encrypted env imports.
+
+### Testing
+- **Editor diagnostics automation** — added an Extension Host suite that discovers `tests/EditorDiagnostics/valid` and `tests/EditorDiagnostics/negative`, keeping clean fixtures at zero diagnostics and intentional error fixtures at exact expected counts.
+- **Runtime negative automation** — converted former manual runtime error cases into `tests/RuntimeNegative` scenarios that assert CLI exit codes and stable error guidance.
+- **Test Explorer automation** — added Extension Host checks for Test Explorer fixture exclusion patterns and single-env `.nornenv` resolution.
+- **Pre-release verification** — added `npm run test:prerelease` and updated release verification to run Extension Host automation plus the local CLI Regression suite.
+- **Test suite cleanup** — moved reusable `.nornenv` import and contract fixtures into Regression, moved API coverage fixtures into `tests/ApiCoverage`, and removed stale scratch/demo test folders.
