 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.9.0] - 2026-08-02
+
+### Added
+
+- Added a read-only `verify_premiere_connection` tool, human-readable `--doctor`
+  diagnostics, and a privacy-sanitized `--support-bundle` for guided recovery.
+- Added an accessible in-panel Connection Center and native Windows/macOS CEP
+  installer pipelines that require trusted platform signing for production use.
+- Added deterministic direct and Marketplace-channel UXP CCX packaging with
+  explicit Adobe identity and live-host verification gates.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Reworked onboarding around the AI assistant an editor already uses, with the
+  Claude Desktop MCPB route first and npm/JSON configuration under Advanced.
+- Upgraded the Claude Desktop bundle manifest to MCPB v0.4 and stopped emitting
+  an unsupported `.dxt` copy of the same bytes.
+- Registered 280 core tools, exposed 278 under the default profile, and exposed
+  297 tools when the 19 capability-gated UXP tools are connected.
+
+### Validation
+
+- Automated checks cover distribution schemas, deterministic CCX packaging,
+  support-bundle privacy, installer path containment, production signing gates,
+  and connection evidence states. Real Premiere host verification and external
+  Adobe/Anthropic approvals remain separate release gates.
+
+## [1.8.0] - 2026-08-01
+
+### Added
+
+- Added three read-only, capability-gated UXP transcript tools: native transcript
+  export, native transcript search, and revision-locked transcript edit previews.
+- Added a deterministic SHA-256 transcript revision and confirmation token so a
+  proposed edit cannot be confused with a regenerated transcript.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Expanded the connected UXP surface from 16 to 19 tools while keeping automatic
+  transcript-to-timeline application unavailable pending real-host validation.
+- Added repository Copilot instructions and a deterministic Node 24 setup workflow.
+
+### Validation
+
+- Automated tests cover transcript range validation, revision locking, capability
+  registration, and the MCP catalog. A real Premiere 25.6 or 26.3 host still must
+  validate transcript semantics before any apply operation is introduced.

+- **Safe connection help:** `verify_premiere_connection`, `--doctor`, the CEP

+
+### Previous release: 1.8.0
+
+- **Native transcript planning:** compatible UXP hosts can export and search the
+  transcript Premiere generated for a clip, then preview a revision-locked set of
+  source-time deletion ranges.
+- **No false edit promise:** previews return a deterministic confirmation token and
+  never modify a clip or timeline. Automated application remains withheld until the
+  documented source-to-sequence reconstruction path passes real-host validation.

 ## Quick Start
 
-### Before you begin
+### Easiest supported path: Claude Desktop
+
+1. Download the current [Claude Desktop bundle (`.mcpb`)](https://github.com/leancoderkavy/premiere-pro-mcp/releases/download/v1.9.0/premiere-pro-mcp-1.9.0.mcpb).
+2. In Claude Desktop, open **Settings > Extensions > Advanced settings > Install Extension**, select the downloaded bundle, and restart Claude Desktop.
+3. Download the separate [signed Premiere connector (`.zxp`)](https://github.com/leancoderkavy/premiere-pro-mcp/releases/download/v1.9.0/MCPBridgeCEP.zxp). Open it with your trusted ZXP installer. If your computer has no ZXP installer, use the npm connector installer in **Advanced setup** below.
+4. Restart Premiere, open a project, then open **Window > Extensions > MCP Bridge**.
+5. In Claude, enter: `Safely check my Premiere connection with verify_premiere_connection. Make no changes.`
+
+The Claude bundle contains the local MCP server, so this route does not require Node.js. The Premiere connector is a separate required install. The first prompt is read-only and reports whether the server is installed, configured, connected, and live-verified.
+
+### Other AI assistants
