+# Changelog
+
+## [0.3.0] — 2026-04-22
+
+### Added
+- **API freeze**: `ShellSigner`, `ShellProvider`, and `ShellWallet` are now stable public APIs.
+- ML-DSA-65 cross-validation tests confirming wire compatibility with `pqcrypto-dilithium` v0.5 (pk=1952 B, sk=4032 B, sig=3309 B).
+- `examples/minimal-dapp`: Node.js (`node-demo.mjs`) and browser (`browser-demo.html`) integration examples.
+- JSDoc complete for all public-facing exports.
+- `MlDsa65Adapter` round-trip sign+verify test.
+- `getNodeInfo()`, `getWitness()`, and `getStorageProfile()` helpers for Shell-specific node capabilities.
+
+### Changed
+- `adapters.ts`: both `"Dilithium3"` and `"MlDsa65"` aliases now explicitly document ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204) wire compatibility with the chain's Dilithium3 verifier.
+- `hashTransaction()` canonical RLP field ordering aligned with `shell-chain` deserialiser.
+- Package root export surface narrowed to stable application-facing APIs.
+- NodeInfo example version string now reflects current node naming (`shell-node/0.17.0`) without tying the SDK package version to the chain version.
+
+## 0.2.0-rc.1
+
+- add Browser and Node integration tests for signer, keystore, and provider flows
+- add Rust compatibility vectors for address derivation and transaction hashing
+- fix `hashTransaction()` to match the Rust node's canonical RLP field ordering
+- fix `hashTransaction()` to accept canonical `pq1...` recipient addresses
+- narrow the package root export surface to stable application-facing APIs
+- document extension background flow, minimal dApp usage, and release checklist

+### Wallet extension background flow
+
+This is the recommended shape for a Chrome extension background worker: keep the decrypted signer only in memory, fetch the latest nonce from RPC, and use the stable root entrypoint for the common path.
+
+```typescript
+import { createShellProvider, buildTransferTransaction, hashTransaction } from "shell-sdk";
+
+async function submitTransfer({ signer, to, value, rpcHttpUrl }: {
+  signer: { getHexAddress(): `0x${string}`; buildSignedTransaction(args: { tx: unknown; txHash: Uint8Array; includePublicKey?: boolean }): Promise<unknown> };

+
+### Minimal dApp flow
+
+For a lightweight web app, keep the provider in the page and delegate signing to an injected wallet or background bridge:
+
+```typescript
+import { createShellProvider, normalizePqAddress } from "shell-sdk";
+
+const provider = createShellProvider({
+  rpcHttpUrl: "https://rpc.testnet.shell.network",

+## Release checklist
+
+Before publishing a `shell-sdk` release candidate:
+
+1. Run `npm test` and `npm run typecheck`.
+2. Confirm the stable root surface still excludes low-level helpers such as `hexBytes` and internal signer maps.
+3. Verify Browser + Node integration tests both cover signer, keystore, and provider RPC flows.
+4. Review README examples against the current public exports (`shell-sdk`, `shell-sdk/signer`, `shell-sdk/transactions`).
+5. Check `package.json` `exports`, `files`, `version`, and repository metadata.
+6. Build once from a clean tree and smoke-import the package root plus subpaths from `dist/`.

+# Shell SDK — Minimal dApp Example
+
+Demonstrates the core Shell SDK flow:
+1. Generate a post-quantum key pair (ML-DSA-65)
+2. Create a signer and derive address
+3. Query balance from a Shell node
+4. Build + sign a transaction (without broadcasting)
+
+## Node.js (server / CLI)
+
+```bash
+# From the shell-sdk root:
+npm install
+npm run build
+
+# Run the demo (points at localhost:8545 by default)
+node examples/minimal-dapp/node-demo.mjs
+
+# Point at a different RPC endpoint:
+SHELL_RPC_URL=http://my-node:8545 node examples/minimal-dapp/node-demo.mjs
+```
+
+Expected output:
+```
+Address (pq1…): pq1…
+Address (0x…): 0x…
+Balance (wei): 0   ← 0 for a fresh account; fund it via the faucet
+Signed tx type: 2
+Signature length (bytes): 3309
+Sender pubkey set: true
+
+All done! Connect to a live node and call provider.sendTransaction(signed) to broadcast.
+```
+
+## Browser
+
+```bash
+# Build the SDK first
+cd ../../  # shell-sdk root
+npm run build
+
+# Serve this directory with any HTTP server
+npx serve examples/minimal-dapp/
+# or
+python3 -m http.server 8080
+```
+
+Then open `http://localhost:8080/browser-demo.html` in your browser.
+
+## Key sizes (ML-DSA-65 / FIPS 204)
+
+| Field       | Bytes |
+|-------------|-------|
+| Public key  | 1952  |
+| Secret key  | 4032  |
+| Signature   | 3309  |
+
+These match `pqcrypto-dilithium` v0.5 (used by shell-chain), confirming wire
+compatibility. Both `"Dilithium3"` and `"MlDsa65"` keys use this algorithm.
