+## 2.11.1 - 2026-09-02
+
+### Added
+
+- Secure administrator invitations that create accounts only after the recipient accepts the invitation.
+- Configurable API progress-bar placeholders with AdminLTE and announcement palette colors, custom colors, striped and animated variants, and quoted numeric literals.
+- An optional `textless` progress-bar modifier to hide the visible percentage while retaining progress accessibility metadata.
+- Configurable progress-bar radius options including `square`, `pill`, `rounded`, and validated `radius(...)` values.
+- Arithmetic API placeholder transforms for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numeric values.
+- Time-based progress bars using start and end date/time fields to show elapsed timetable-item progress.
+- Audit events for invitation sending and acceptance, email verification, password-reset requests, and account email changes.
+- A pending invitations page with invitation-specific Read, Create, Delete, and Allow permissions.
+- Invitation deletion and resend actions with confirmation prompts.
+- An opt-in Weather audit category for weather-location changes and manually queued refreshes.
+- Opt-in per-command Screen Controls auditing, with forward and back navigation grouped together and disabled by default.
+- The pending invitations list now supports pagination, search, and sorting, with Users, Roles, and Invitations grouped under expandable User management navigation.
+- API progress calculations now support object-wrapped amounts.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Updated the invitation registration page to show fields only for valid tokens, use the themed failure state for invalid links, and pre-fill the invited email and display name.
+- Made the invited email visibly disabled, kept the display name editable and required, and aligned invitation actions with the existing user forms.
+- Added bold, italic, and underline formatting controls to the user invitation email message template editor.
+- Fixed application-settings cleanup SQL so media and icon saves preserve all supported settings and no longer fail with MariaDB placeholder errors.
+- Updated API progress bars to inherit the surrounding WYSIWYG text size and text color, preserve rounded corners, and render consistently in the editor preview, player, and thumbnails.
+
+## 2.11.0 - 2026-09-02
+
+### Added
+
+- Optional account emails with administrator verification bypass, email verification, password recovery, and confirmed email changes.
+- SMTP configuration and mail delivery for account notifications.
+- Autofill restrictions for Bitwarden, LastPass, and 1Password on account profile and new-password fields while preserving current-password autofill.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Updated account email templates and previews to support both line breaks and paragraph spacing.
+
+## 2.10.7 - 2026-09-02
+
+### Added
+
+- API token authentication now reuses access tokens until their expiry and can renew them with a refresh token, including refresh-token rotation.
+- API sources can configure a refresh URL, JSON request body, and refresh-token response path.
+- Client status badges now show Live, Paused, and Blackout states in the responsive Connected clients view.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Reorganized the API source editor into compact Connection, Authentication, and Latest response cards, with authentication collapsed by default on edit pages.
+- Redesigned the Connected clients page for responsive mobile cards with compact controls, expandable search, pairing access, two-line detail clamping, and aligned desktop screen-group controls.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed client screen moves from mobile cards so the next move disables the client’s current screen group rather than its previous one.
+- Removed unused Bootstrap Icons font preloads that triggered browser warnings on pages where icons were not rendered.
+
+## 2.10.6 - 2026-08-29
+
+### Added
+
+- Playlist recovery now uses cached browser and server snapshots, reports offline status, and recovers after cached responses.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Refactored the player runtime into focused animation, media, transition, command, playback, and rendering modules.
+- Improved player slide transitions and video playback by preloading media, preserving precise durations, pausing outgoing videos during crossfades, and deferring expensive post-render setup.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed remote player commands and media synchronization so they route through the bridge using the physical player device identity, including announcement and playlist refresh notifications.
+- Fixed player media handling for remote bridge uploads and deletes by using the bridge endpoint with explicit player-device authentication.
+- Fixed player service-worker caching so ranged media requests bypass stale cached responses and video playback remains reliable.
+
+## 2.10.5 - 2026-08-29
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed intermittent pairing failures while player registration and pairing sessions propagate through the bridge by retrying transient resolution and completion requests.
+- Fixed the pairing page so transient submission failures retry automatically and pairing progress uses a single spinner without dimming the form.
+- Fixed the player onboarding page so it continues polling until the pairing code and QR code are available.
+
+## 2.10.4 - 2026-08-29
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed remote client move commands so they route through the player bridge to the correct browser tab using the physical player identity and connection ID.
+- Removed the obsolete `PLAYER_BASE_URL` configuration fallback; command routing uses `PLAYER_INTERNAL_URL` locally or the player bridge remotely, while `PLAYER_PUBLIC_URL` remains available for kiosk launcher and direct player access.
+- Removed the player URL list from screen-group add/edit pages and expanded the remaining form card to full width.
+
+## 2.10.3 - 2026-08-28
+
+### Added
+
+- Remote screens now poll periodically to recover from missed refresh commands after bridge reconnects.
+- Screens now use cached playlist snapshots while the bridge or web service is temporarily unavailable.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed the weather edit preview so the daily forecast is shown initially, the 24-hour forecast is hidden until selected, and the redundant hourly heading is removed.
+- Fixed onboarding cleanup so incomplete pairings are retained for the 15-minute pairing-code lifetime while inactive completed bindings are pruned after 24 hours.
+- Fixed client-name handling so offline names can be reused, active collisions receive numeric suffixes, and reconnecting players resolve duplicate names consistently.
+- Fixed an internal server error when renaming clients by forwarding the available-name resolver to the client command routes.
+- Fixed remote client moves to resolve the paired browser client binding before changing its target screen.
+- Fixed remote player heartbeats to update the central onboarding bindings for active browser clients without treating the physical player registry ID as a client binding.
+- Fixed targeted commands after browser reconnects by falling back to the stable client ID when a transient connection ID is stale.
+- Fixed stale browser command connections remaining active indefinitely when the physical player heartbeat was still healthy.
+- Fixed media synchronization so generated player caches are excluded while remote image caches remain available to players.
+- Fixed weather screen notifications so changes in the fetched data or the current forecast hour trigger a refresh.
+- Fixed player runtime script loading and slide rendering so region modules, transitions, and cached playlists initialize consistently.
+- Fixed command delivery reporting to require acknowledgement from the receiving browser tab.
+- Fixed playlist refresh notifications to target the physical player hosting each screen instead of always targeting the local player.
+
+## 2.10.2 - 2026-08-28
+
+### Added
+
+- Onboarding client heartbeats are now persisted so records inactive for 24 hours can be pruned without relying on player connectivity after the fact.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed the weather forecast preview to show only its first-fetch message until a successful forecast is available.
+
+## 2.10.1 - 2026-08-28
+
+### Added
+
+- Linear gradient backgrounds to templates, including multiple colours and angle control.
+- A visual gradient stop editor with draggable stops, click-to-add support, and stop reordering.
+
+## 2.10.0 - 2026-08-28
+
+### Added
+
+- Secure kiosk onboarding with QR-first and manual pairing flows.
+- Browser-specific pairing sessions with expiring pairing codes.
+- Circular QR presentation and a compatible QR scanner with decoder fallbacks.
+- Responsive player onboarding and a post-pair option to connect another player.
+- Stable player identity bindings for paired players and moved-client aliases.
+- Per-tab client identities backed by browser session storage for commands, pairing, and screen moves.
+- RBAC protection for player pairing through the `pairing.allow` permission.
+- A dedicated web onboarding workflow for pairing and managing player setup.
+- Pairing entry points now appear in the dashboard and connected clients workflows.
+- A mobile-friendly connected clients link is now shown after successful pairing.
+- Player keyboard feedback now includes slide navigation, plus `P` pause/unpause and `B` blackout toggles.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Restricted direct screen URLs to the player configured for the requested screen.
+- Made pairing QR codes easier to scan by encoding only the short pairing code.
+- Made connected-client controls and player pairing UI render independently according to their permissions.
+- Removed client identities from onboarding and screen-move URLs; authorized player data now loads after the tab identity handshake.
+- Updated connected-client commands and screen moves to resolve tab and registered-player identities reliably.
+
+## 2.9.0 - 2026-08-28
+
+### Added
+
+- API sources, RSS feeds, and weather locations can be enabled or disabled without deleting their cached data.
+- Weather slide regions with current, daily, and hourly placeholders, date/time transforms, and Bootstrap weather icon transforms.
+- Multiple saved weather locations with provider, coordinate, unit, and refresh settings.
+- Separate Allow permissions for manually refreshing API sources, RSS feeds, and weather locations.
+- Announcement colour choices and player rendering now include the AdminLTE extended palette colours.
+
+### Changed
+
+- API, RSS, and Weather refresh jobs now skip disabled sources across scheduled, startup, queued, and manual refresh paths, while re-enabling a source resumes refresh scheduling.
+- Weather placeholders now show all current fields, or all fields for the first daily/hourly entry before the remaining entries in a Show more section.
+- Weather previews, player playback, and slide thumbnails now use cached Weather data and consistent text/icon sizing.
+- API, RSS, and Weather lists now show enabled status and their forms provide action-oriented Enable/Disable controls.
+- Enable/Disable actions on API, RSS, and Weather forms now run asynchronously without reloading unsaved form changes.
+- Weather locations can now be duplicated from the weather list.
+- Startup data-source refreshes now respect each API, RSS, and weather source's configured repull interval.
+- RSS feeds now persist their last collection timestamp.
+- Refreshed the vendored AdminLTE assets to 4.8.5.
+- Removed Digital Signage Subheading and top padding.
+- API and RSS source saves now preserve cached data without pulling; added explicit manual refresh actions.
+
+## 2.8.7 - 2026-08-22
+
+### Added
+
+- Configurable JSON POST requests and two-step login-then-token authentication for API sources.

-### `PULSE_SIGNAGE_SHARED_SECRET`
+## Public Stack Setup
+
+Install Docker Engine with Docker Compose, then run the public stack from this directory:
+
+```sh
+cp .env.example .env
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+The command pulls the published images, creates the network and volumes, and starts the web app, local player, player bridge, and MySQL services. Check the installation with:
+
+```sh
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml ps
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml logs -f web
+```
+
+## Remote Player Setup
+
+A remote deployment has two parts:
+
+- the public stack runs the web app, database, and player bridge
+- each remote device runs only the player and connects back to the bridge
+
+The remote player does not need database credentials. Set `BRIDGE_PUBLIC_URL` to the externally reachable bridge URL, including its port when required. It must point to the bridge service, not the web dashboard URL. The bridge must be reachable from the device and allow both HTTP requests and the player websocket connection at `/ws/players`.
+
+### Published remote player
+
+On the remote device:
+
+```sh
+cp .env.remote.example .env.remote
+docker compose --env-file .env.remote -f docker-compose.remote.yml up -d
+```
+
+The published remote stack exposes the player on host port `8081`. Check its connection and startup output with:
+
+```sh
+docker compose --env-file .env.remote -f docker-compose.remote.yml ps
+docker compose --env-file .env.remote -f docker-compose.remote.yml logs -f player
+```

-Access note: most player endpoints are unauthenticated because they are meant to run inside a trusted deployment network. Anything that mutates state or writes files should be treated as internal-only unless you add your own auth layer in front of it.
+Access note: when `PULSE_SIGNAGE_SHARED_SECRET` is set, player-page endpoints require a valid `x-pulse-page-auth` token with the appropriate scope, and server-to-server endpoints require the signed request headers. When the secret is unset, these checks are disabled for compatibility, so the player service should remain inside a trusted deployment network. Pairing uses a short-lived random PIN displayed by the kiosk; the PIN is accepted only through the authenticated Web UI pairing flow.
 
 When `PULSE_SIGNAGE_SHARED_SECRET` is set, the player pages sign same-origin API fetches with `x-pulse-page-auth`, and the web app signs server-to-player requests with `x-pulse-request-timestamp` plus `x-pulse-request-signature`. Page tokens auto-renew before expiry while the page stays active, and signed server requests are only accepted when their timestamp is fresh.
