 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.1.18] - 2026-07-18
+
+### Bumped
+- proxy -> [v1.1.16](https://github.com/theta42/proxy/releases/tag/v1.1.16)
+- sso-manager-node -> [v1.1.16](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/releases/tag/v1.1.16)
+
+proxy:
+
+### Changed
+- Public-release packaging: removed `"private": true` from `nodejs/package.json`, corrected the repository URL to `https://github.com/theta42/proxy.git`, and fixed the MIT `LICENSE` copyright line.
+- Genericized committed config defaults in `conf/base.js` and `conf/development.js` (`example.com` / `localhost` instead of theta42 infrastructure).
+- The bootstrap `proxyadmin2` account now gets a random, one-time password when `auth.localAdminPass` is unset, instead of the well-known default.
+
+### Security
+- Sanitized rendered docs HTML with `xss` in `routes/docs.js`.
+- The Unix socket JSON-RPC socket is now created with mode `660` instead of world-writable `777`.
+
+### Fixed
+- The global error handler no longer leaks `err.keys`, stack traces, or internal details in JSON responses.
+- `DEPLOYMENT.md` and `docs/docker.md` now correctly describe the `CONF_SECRETS` env-var mechanism.
+
+sso-manager-node:
+
+### Security
+- Hardened LDAP filter and DN construction against injection in `models/group_ldap.js` and `models/user_ldap.js`.
+- Replaced `Math.random()`-based token/UUID/OTP generation with `crypto.randomUUID()` / `crypto.randomInt()` in `models/token.js`, `models/oauth_code.js`, and `models/oauth_client.js`.
+- Refused startup when `oauth.jwtSecret` is missing or placeholder.
+- Sanitized rendered docs/Terms-of-Service HTML with `xss` to block malicious markdown output.
+- Removed full-object `console.log` of new-user data and reduced login error logging to `name`/`message` only.
+
+### Changed
+- Public-release packaging: removed `"private": true` from `nodejs/package.json` and bumped version to `1.1.16`.
+
+### Fixed
+- `models/email.js`: fixed from-address template rendering bug.
+
+### theta-env own changes
+- `CHANGELOG.md` now embeds the full app-level release notes for each submodule bump, not just links.
+- `.env.example` no longer ships realistic-looking default passwords; values are clearly placeholders.
+- `config.example/*.js.example` comments now describe the actual `CONF_SECRETS` env-var loading mechanism.
+- `setup.sh` summary no longer prints generated passwords to stdout; it points to `./config/*.js`.
+- `bootstrap/bootstrap.js` fails hard instead of falling back to weak default passwords when config is missing.
+
+## [1.1.17] - 2026-07-18
+
+### Bumped
+- proxy -> [v1.1.15](https://github.com/theta42/proxy/releases/tag/v1.1.15)
+- sso-manager-node -> [v1.1.15](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/releases/tag/v1.1.15)
+
+Both apps' bare-metal `install.sh` now installs to `/opt/theta42/<app>` and seeds `/etc/<app>/secrets.js` on first run, matching a `wget -O - .../install.sh | sudo bash` one-line install for both (previously proxy-only); re-running it prints the version it's updating from/to. sso-manager-node's installer was rewritten from a flag-driven, copy-based script into the same idempotent git-clone pattern proxy already used, and now bootstraps OpenLDAP itself on first run instead of requiring the repo to already be checked out locally. None of this affects the Docker/unified-stack deployment this repo orchestrates — bare-metal-only.
+
+## [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.

+
+### 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).
+
+## [1.1.12] - 2026-07-17
+
+### Bumped
+- proxy -> [v1.1.9](https://github.com/theta42/proxy/releases/tag/v1.1.9)
+
+proxy:
+
+### Added
+- The host list now shows who created each host, and when.
+- Plain (non-wildcard) hosts can now be renamed after creation — the hostname field is no longer permanently locked. Wildcard hosts, wildcard children, and auto-created subdomain cache entries stay locked, since other records reference them by name.
+- More inline help text on the host create/edit form (Target SSL, wildcard matching behavior).
+
+### Fixed
+- The host create/edit modal's tabs could overflow awkwardly on narrow (mobile) screens — they now scroll horizontally instead.
+- Fixed a bug in the vendored `model-redis` library's record-rename path: renaming a record's primary key while another `always`-type field (e.g. `updated_on`) is defined earlier in the schema left a stray, incomplete hash behind under the old key, making that name permanently unavailable for reuse. Worked around in `Host.prototype.update()`.
+
+## [1.1.11] - 2026-07-17
+
+### Bumped
+- proxy -> [v1.1.8](https://github.com/theta42/proxy/releases/tag/v1.1.8)
+
+proxy:
+
+### Fixed
+- **Couldn't attach an existing host to a parent wildcard.** The host edit form's "Parent Wildcard" option submitted correctly, but `Host.prototype.update()` had no `challengeType` handling at all (only `Host.create()` did) — selecting it and saving silently did nothing. Added the same wildcard-parent lookup to `update()`.
+- **Couldn't register a wildcard's own base domain as a host.** A wildcard cert's `altNames` already cover both the base domain and `*.base domain`, but the lookup tree stores the wildcard one level below its base domain, and a lookup for the bare base domain landed on that empty parent node and found nothing — even though the already-issued cert covers it. `buildLookUpObj()` now also stamps the parent node so this resolves correctly, without re-issuing or duplicating the cert.
+
+## [1.1.10] - 2026-07-17
+
+### Bumped
+- sso-manager-node -> [v1.1.9](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/releases/tag/v1.1.9)
+
+sso-manager-node:
+
+### Added
+- Every account's personal Unix group (its primary GID holder) can now have supplementary members managed from the account's profile page ("Members of `<uid>`'s group", admin-only) — e.g. to share write access to files owned by that group. Uses the standard `memberUid` attribute (RFC 2307 `posixGroup`).
+
+## [1.1.9] - 2026-07-17
+
+### Bumped
+- sso-manager-node -> [v1.1.8](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/releases/tag/v1.1.8)
+
+sso-manager-node:
+
+### Added
+- Group membership is now editable directly from a user's profile page ("My groups" -- add via a group-name picker, remove with a button per row), instead of only from each group's own card on the Groups page. Admin-only, using the existing per-group member add/remove endpoints.
+
+### Fixed
+- The Edit Profile form's Mobile Phone field had a stray `validate=":9"` making it effectively required (submission was blocked with "Please fix the form errors" if left blank) -- it was always meant to be optional, matching the "Add user" form. Removed.
+- A service account's profile always showed `Name: Service Account` -- every service account has the same literal filler given/last name (a schema-satisfying placeholder, not meant to be shown), making them indistinguishable by name. The Name line is now hidden for service accounts.
+- The Users page's Service Accounts tab, and a freshly-created service account's own profile, could appear empty/not-a-service-account for up to 5 minutes right after creation. Creating a user caches it via `User.get()` *before* the route handler marks it as a service account (group membership), so the cached copy had `isServiceAccount` stuck wrong until the cache TTL expired. Now cleared and re-fetched immediately after marking.
+- A user belonging to exactly one LDAP group had their `memberOf` attribute returned as a bare string instead of a one-element array (ldapts's normal behavior for single-valued attributes) -- client-side permission checks (`for(let group of user.memberOf)`) would then iterate the DN character-by-character instead of once, causing pages gated on that group (e.g. Groups) to incorrectly show "You do not have permission to be here." Normalized `memberOf` to always be an array, same fix already applied to `manager`.
+
+## [1.1.8] - 2026-07-17
+
+### Bumped
+- sso-manager-node -> [v1.1.7](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/releases/tag/v1.1.7)
+
+sso-manager-node:
+
+### Changed
+- **Service accounts unified to one kind.** Removed the LDAP bind-only service account type (the Integrations → LDAP "Service Accounts" card, and its `/api/service-account` routes) -- every service account is now a real Unix/POSIX account with a UID, created from the new **Users → Service Accounts** tab. Email and password are both optional for service accounts; a blank password means no `userPassword` is set at all (the account simply can't bind).
+- **Added a `manager` field to every account.** Multi-valued (a list of usernames), defaults to whoever created the account (the admin who added it, or whoever sent the invite), and reassignable from the account's Edit form. Anyone listed as a manager can edit that account -- same fields an admin can (mobile, description, SSH key, date of birth, home directory, login shell, manager list) -- without needing `app_sso_admin`.
+- `homeDirectory` and `loginShell` are now editable from the Edit Profile form (previously view-only).
