 # Changelog
 
+## [2.5.2] - 2026-10-18
+
+### 🐛 Fixes
+- **Paid Plan Model Gating & Aliases**: Fixed preflight model registry check in `completion_routes.py` so paid subscribers (Hobby/Pro/Max/Ultra) are never blocked by free-plan error notices. Added `ag/` prefix stripping, separated model tables lookup, and canonical OpenRouter routing for `ag/gemini-3.8-flash-high`.
+
+## [2.5.1] - 2026-10-18
+
+### 🐛 Fixes
+- **Compression Empty-Response Spam**: `_call_compression_model_with_fallback` now always sets `last_error` on empty/stripped content and logs `model=… routing=… empty_hits=…` diagnostics — eliminates the endless `[COMPRESSION FALLBACK FAILURE] Last error: None` loop and surfaces the real reason (429 / empty content / bad shape).
+- **Admin Portal CORS**: `router.py` now always allows `Origin: null` (downloaded `file://` HTML) and `allow_headers=["*"]` + `max_age=600` so `X-UTIM-Master-Key` / `Authorization` preflights for `/api/admin/*` and `/models` no longer fail with `No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'`.
+- **Admin Firewall Bypass**: `firewall.py: _FIREWALL_SKIP_PREFIXES` and `cli_auth.py: PUBLIC_PREFIXES` now include `/admin`, `/admin.html`, `/admin_models.html`, `/static` so the browser-served admin panel bypasses proxy-abuse / burst throttling and CLI HMAC `401` (API auth via master-key session is still enforced).
