 All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
 
+## 2.6.15 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Slide update media sync on the player now removes uploads that were removed from the slide, so player storage stays aligned with the current slide content.
+- Routine player and player-bridge media upload/delete logs were removed to keep remote player and bridge operation quieter.
+- Background task descriptions no longer repeat the player slug when the task key already ends with that player name.
+
+## 2.6.14 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Slide updates and template deletes now fan out media sync work across all live players instead of targeting only one player.
+
+## 2.6.13 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The player bundle now keeps the browser-only QR export dependencies lazy-loaded, so the remote player image no longer needs `puppeteer-core` or `@sparticuz/chromium` at startup.
+- Remote player startup sync now falls back to `WEB_INTERNAL_URL` when it is configured, which avoids 404s when the bridge is not the correct sync target.
+- The player startup sync and media-write info logs were removed to keep normal remote-player operation quieter.
+
+## 2.6.12 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The Docker build inputs now live under `build/`, with separate web and player package manifests so the player image no longer carries the web browser tooling bundle.
+- The Docker publish workflow now restores `v2` and `v2.2` style image tags alongside `latest` and the full release tag.
+- Remote player sync and upload routing now carry the exact connected player device id through the bridge, so startup media and font jobs target the correct player instance in split-device deployments.
+- Player websocket registration now learns the public base URL from the actual screen request origin, so localhost and 127.0.0.1 aliases both keep websocket commands working.
+
+## 2.6.11 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Role edits now save selected permissions from the shared RBAC form, so changes on the role page persist when you submit the form.
+- RBAC permission sections now stay open independently in the accordion, so opening one section no longer closes the others.
+
+## 2.6.10 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The onboarding landing page and form no longer restore a previously selected screen, so the screen picker always starts clean while still keeping the saved client name.
+
+## 2.6.9 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The connected-clients view no longer exposes or sorts by client IP, so the table stays focused on the player identity, screen, and playback state.
+- The connected-clients dashboard row renderer now keeps the actions column aligned after removing the IP column, so row updates no longer append a duplicate actions cell.
+
+## 2.6.8 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The screen-group command buttons stay disabled until a real target group is selected, so the placeholder "Select Screen Group" state cannot send commands.
+
+## 2.6.7 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Admin client commands now stay on the bridge for remote players, so screen control no longer depends on a public player address.
+- The connected-clients screen-group controls now use the same async bulk-command path as the dashboard, including the All Screens option and live pause/blackout toggles.
+
 ## 2.6.6 - 2026-08-07
 
 ### Fixed
