-### [Unreleased]
+## [3.4.48] - 2026-05-21
+
+**Multi-Machine Mesh Coordination — M4 & M5 now work as one.**
+
+### Added
+- **`RemoteSyncClient` — cross-machine peer sync** (NEW in v3.4.48)
+  - HTTP-based sync with remote SLM instances
+  - Populates `broker._remote_peers` from remote `/mesh/peers` endpoint every 30s
+  - Environment variables:
+    - `SLM_MESH_PEER_URL`: Full URL of remote SLM (e.g. `http://192.168.1.100:8765`)
+    - `SLM_MESH_SHARED_SECRET`: Shared auth secret (required for remote mode)
+    - `SLM_MESH_DISCOVERY`: `'on'` (default) or `'off'` for mDNS discovery
+  - **mDNS discovery (optional)**: Auto-discovers remote SLM on LAN via `_slm-mesh._tcp` service
+  - **Message proxying**: `broker.send_message()` now proxies direct messages to remote peers
+  - **Graceful fallback**: Network errors logged but don't crash; optional `zeroconf` dependency
+  - Uses `httpx` (already in core deps) + `zeroconf>=0.140` (new, pure Python, cross-platform)
+
+- **Auth guard on `/mesh/peers`** — Remote queries must include `Authorization: Bearer {SLM_MESH_SHARED_SECRET}`
+
+### Changed
+- `MeshBroker` now instantiates `RemoteSyncClient` when `SLM_MESH_PEER_URL` is set or in remote mode
+- `broker.send_message()` checks `to_peer in broker._remote_peers` before DB lookup
+  - If remote, proxies via `sync_client.send_to_remote()`
+  - If local or not found, uses existing DB logic
+- `broker.list_all_peers()` returns local + remote peers merged
+
+### Tests
+- 13 new tests in `tests/integration/test_remote_sync.py`
+  - Init, peer sync, stale peer removal, send proxy, error handling
+  - mDNS discovery callback stubs
+  - Integration: broker routes sends to remote peers
+
+All existing tests pass. No breaking changes.

+## Multi-Machine Mesh Coordination (New in v3.4.48)
+
+Run SLM on multiple machines (M4 + M5) and have your agents coordinate as one team without any disruption.
+
+### Setup
+
+**M4 (broker):**
+```bash
+export SLM_MESH_HOST=192.168.1.100
+export SLM_MESH_SHARED_SECRET=my-secret-key
+slm init  # Starts SLM at http://192.168.1.100:8765
+```
+
+**M5 (client):**
+```bash
+export SLM_MESH_PEER_URL=http://192.168.1.100:8765
+export SLM_MESH_SHARED_SECRET=my-secret-key
+slm init  # Syncs M4's agents every 30s, proxies messages to M4
+```
+
+### How It Works
+
+- **HTTP-based sync** — M5 queries M4's `/mesh/peers` endpoint every 30 seconds
+- **Message proxying** — When M5's agent sends a message to an M4 agent, it's routed automatically
+- **mDNS discovery (optional)** — M5 can auto-discover M4 on the LAN via `_slm-mesh._tcp` (enable with `SLM_MESH_DISCOVERY=on`, default)
+- **Graceful fallback** — Network errors logged but don't crash; offline agents queue messages for delivery
+- **Shared secret** — `SLM_MESH_SHARED_SECRET` gates remote peer discovery (required for remote mode)
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Default | Purpose |
+|:---------|:--------|:--------|
+| `SLM_MESH_HOST` | `127.0.0.1` | Host this SLM listens on (set to IP for remote) |
+| `SLM_MESH_PEER_URL` | unset | Full URL of remote SLM (e.g., `http://192.168.1.100:8765`) |
+| `SLM_MESH_SHARED_SECRET` | unset | Auth secret (required when remote) |
+| `SLM_MESH_DISCOVERY` | `on` | mDNS discovery (`on`/`off`) |
+| `SLM_MESH_WS_PORT` | `7900` | WebSocket port for mesh (internal use) |
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- `zeroconf>=0.140` (new in v3.4.48, optional, pure Python, auto-installed)
+- `httpx==0.28.1` (already in core deps)
+- No Docker. No external broker. Works on WiFi + LAN.
+
+### MCP Tools
+
+All 8 mesh tools work seamlessly across machines:
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|:-----|:------------|
+| `mesh_peers` | List local + remote peers merged |
+| `mesh_send` | Send message to any peer (local or remote) |
+| `mesh_broadcast` | Send to all agents (across machines) |
+| `mesh_project` | Send to all agents in a project (across machines) |
+| `mesh_inbox` | Get messages for this agent |
+| `mesh_pending` | Get offline messages (broadcast/project) |
+| `mesh_state` | Get/set shared state (replicated) |
+| `mesh_lock` | Acquire/release distributed file locks |
+
