+### Changed
+
+- None.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- None.
+
+## [0.1.6] - 2026-08-05
+
+### Added
+
+- Added configurable line and byte budgets for remote reads, remote commands, and aggregate per-turn tool output.
+- Added bounded range reads for remote text files with normal `offset` and `limit` continuation.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Remote text reads now default to 400 lines or 16 KB, remote command results default to the last 200 lines or 8 KB, and each agent turn defaults to a shared 32 KB remote output budget.
+- Remote command output now streams through bounded buffers, with complete oversized stdout written to a permission-restricted local temporary file.
+- Collapsed command previews are now limited to at most 50 visual lines and remain independent from model-facing output.
+- Moved the complete release history into this changelog and kept concise release indexes in the English and Chinese READMEs.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed remote text reads downloading complete files over SFTP before applying line and byte limits.
+- Fixed `ssh_remote_control exec` accumulating complete stdout in memory before truncation.
+
+## [0.1.5] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Added
+
+- Added persistent, endpoint-specific server memory through `/remote config memory TEXT` and the `ssh_remote_control` `memory` action.
+- Added automatic injection of that memory into every model request while the matching endpoint is the active remote workspace.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Server memory is removed from subsequent model requests when remote tool routing is disabled, including disconnect and tunnel-only mode.
+- `/remote config` now shows the memory stored for each endpoint.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- None.
+
+## [0.1.4] - 2026-07-31
+
+### Added
+
+- Added persistent endpoint notes through `/remote config note TEXT` and the `ssh_remote_control` `note` action.
+- Added per-command timeout overrides through `/remote exec --timeout SECONDS` and the tool's `timeout` parameter.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Remote commands now default to a 30-second timeout and endpoint notes appear in status, connection, reconnection, and footer labels.
+- Expanded the documentation around agent-first workflows, multi-server operation, background jobs, and tunnel mode.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed remote commands that could run without a deadline by enforcing GNU `timeout` remotely and a local fallback timer.
+- Fixed timeout reporting for processes terminated with timeout-related exit codes 124 and 137.
+
+## [0.1.3] - 2026-07-24
+
+### Added
+
+- Added configurable collapsed command previews with `/remote config display-lines N`, `/remote exec --lines N`, and the tool's `displayLines` parameter.
+- Added expandable custom rendering for remote command results.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Remote command previews default to the last five visual lines while model-facing output remains limited to 2,000 lines or 50 KB.
+- Oversized complete output is saved to a permission-restricted local temporary file.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed `/remote exec` truncating its notification to an arbitrary 4,000 characters without preserving or identifying the full output.
+
+## [0.1.2] - 2026-07-24
+
+### Added
+
+- None.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Republished the 0.1.1 runtime as 0.1.2 to align npm package version metadata; there were no runtime code changes.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- None.
+
+## [0.1.1] - 2026-07-24
+
+### Added
+
+- Added the shorter `/remote ssh USER@HOST [-p PORT]` connection command.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `/remote ssh` now saves, selects, and immediately connects to the endpoint instead of only storing it.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed help and error text that still instructed users to run the obsolete `/remote config ssh ssh ...` form.
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-07-24
+
+### Added
+
+- Initial release with persistent multi-endpoint SSH workspaces and remote working directories.
+- Added transparent routing for Pi's `read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, and user shell operations.

+New or changed host keys require interactive confirmation and are stored separately from OpenSSH. By default, remote text reads return at most 400 lines or 16 KB, remote command results return the last 200 lines or 8 KB, and all remote tools in one agent turn share a 32 KB output budget. Text reads support `offset`/`limit` continuation without downloading the complete remote file. Oversized command output is streamed to a permission-restricted temporary local file rather than accumulated in memory. Configured limits may be raised only to the extension's hard safety ceilings. Preview-line settings affect only the collapsed UI and never increase model output.
 
 ## Current SSH scope
 
 The extension currently supports direct SSH commands with `-p` and `-l`. It does not yet consume `~/.ssh/config`, `IdentityFile`, or ProxyJump settings.
