 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.1.16] - 2026-07-18
+
+### Bumped
+- proxy -> [v1.1.14](https://github.com/theta42/proxy/releases/tag/v1.1.14)
+- sso-manager-node -> [v1.1.14](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/releases/tag/v1.1.14)
+
+Both: bumped `@simpleworkjs/conf` to 1.2.0 and `jq-repeat` to 2.2.0.
+
+### Changed
+- `./config/sso-secrets.js` and `./config/proxy-secrets.js` are now loaded via each app's `CONF_SECRETS` env var (set by the entrypoint) instead of being symlinked into `/app/conf/secrets.js` — neither container needs write access to its own `conf/` directory anymore. No change to the config file format or bind mounts; existing `./config/` directories keep working as-is.

+## [1.1.15] - 2026-07-17
+
+### Bumped
+- proxy -> [v1.1.13](https://github.com/theta42/proxy/releases/tag/v1.1.13)
+- sso-manager-node -> [v1.1.13](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/releases/tag/v1.1.13)
+
+proxy:
+
+### Fixed
+- The host edit form's "Parent Wildcard" option stayed greyed out even when a valid wildcard actually existed for that host, so an already-created host could never be switched onto one from the edit modal (only brand-new hosts, via the field's `keyup` handler, ever saw it become available). The underlying `/host/lookup/:item` check also had the same self-match issue as the recently-fixed backend bug: it resolved an already-existing host to its own record instead of a sibling wildcard. Added a dedicated `/host/wildcard-parent/:item` endpoint that checks both directions, and the edit form now actually runs the check when it opens.
+- Fixed an nginx startup warning: `the "listen ... http2" directive is deprecated, use the "http2" directive instead`. Migrated to the standalone `http2 on;` directive (nginx 1.25.1+).
+
+### Added
+- Four new plain-language docs aimed at less technical readers, replacing the system-design-level Architecture/Installation docs as the target of most card help links: **Hosts & HTTPS**, **DNS Providers**, **Users, Groups & Permissions**, and **API Tokens**. Each links onward to the deeper technical reference for readers who want it; the technical docs link back the other way too. The personal-access-token card (previously missed entirely) now has a help link.
+
+### Fixed
+- The in-app docs viewer rendered every `docs/*.md` page with a garbled heading and a stray horizontal rule at the top — Jekyll front matter (meant only for the GitHub Pages build) was never stripped before being handed to the markdown renderer. Also fixed: cross-doc links never resolved in-app, since this viewer serves docs at `/docs/<slug>` with no `.html` suffix — they're now rewritten to the correct in-app URL (by registered slug, falling back to the doc's real filename), the same way image paths already were.
+
+sso-manager-node:
+
+### Added
+- Three new plain-language docs aimed at less technical readers, replacing the schema-level LDAP/OAuth/API docs as the target of most card help links: **Accounts, Groups & Managers**, **Connecting Apps (SSO)**, and **API Tokens**. Each links onward to the deeper technical reference for readers who want it; the technical docs link back the other way too. The personal-access-token card (previously missed) now links to its own doc.
+
+### Fixed
+- The in-app docs viewer rendered every `docs/*.md` page with a garbled heading and a stray horizontal rule at the top — Jekyll front matter (meant only for the GitHub Pages build) was never stripped before being handed to the markdown renderer. Also fixed: cross-doc links (`ldap.html`, `index.html`, etc.) never resolved in-app, since this viewer serves docs at `/docs/<slug>` with no `.html` suffix — they're now rewritten to the correct in-app URL, the same way image paths already were.
+- The new concept docs' cross-links (`concepts-accounts.html` etc.) are the correct, working URL on the Jekyll/GitHub Pages build (where the page's URL is its filename stem) but didn't resolve in the in-app docs viewer, which serves docs at a separate short slug (`/docs/accounts`). The in-app renderer now also resolves a doc's real filename as a fallback, so one link written in a doc works on both targets.
+
+## [1.1.14] - 2026-07-17
+
+### Bumped
+- proxy -> [v1.1.11](https://github.com/theta42/proxy/releases/tag/v1.1.11)
+- sso-manager-node -> [v1.1.11](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/releases/tag/v1.1.11)
+
+Both: moved the help (❓) link out of the global header and onto each relevant card individually, so it deep-links straight to the doc that actually covers that card instead of one generic per-page guess.
+
+## [1.1.13] - 2026-07-17
+
+### Bumped
+- proxy -> [v1.1.10](https://github.com/theta42/proxy/releases/tag/v1.1.10)
+- sso-manager-node -> [v1.1.10](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/releases/tag/v1.1.10)
+
+Both: added a help icon (❓) in the top-right header that deep-links to the doc most relevant to the current page, and made the in-app docs viewer (`/docs`) searchable (a simple line-substring search over the local doc set, no new dependency, still works with no internet access).
