+- **a stale hover prefetch no longer degrades a click to a full page load** ([#1115](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/1115)) [`f34fa5c9`](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/commit/f34fa5c9)
+
+  Clicking a link could intermittently reload the whole document instead of soft-navigating, showing a loading spinner in the browser tab and flashing the entire page including preserved layout chrome.
+
+  A prefetched fragment is a reduced response, anchored at the deepest layout boundary the server short-circuited on, and it can only be applied to a DOM that still offers that boundary. Prefetching any page under a layout while the client already holds that layout therefore yields a fragment that applies from a sibling page but nowhere outside the section. Two ordinary interactions left one cached at the wrong moment: a hover's intent timer resolving after the click it belonged to had already swapped, and a hover on a link that was never clicked before navigating away. Consuming such an entry left the router nothing to swap into, so it correctly degraded to a full page load.
+
+  The prefetch cache now validates a fragment's anchor against the live boundaries and discards it when the anchor is gone, costing one network round-trip instead of a document load. Validation runs against the boundaries captured before the optimistic loading skeleton clears them, so an app with a root-level `loading.{js,ts}` keeps a usable prefetch cache. The router also no longer prefetches the page it is already on, which never helped a later navigation and only occupied a capped cache slot.
+
+- **client-router degradations are now observable in production** ([#1115](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/1115)) [`f34fa5c9`](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/commit/f34fa5c9)
+
+  When a soft navigation is not safely possible the router degrades to a full page load, which is correct but was previously reported only by a development-mode console warning, leaving deployed apps with no signal at all. Every such path now dispatches a `webjs:navigation-fallback` event on `document` in all environments, with detail `{ cause, href, willReload }`. `willReload` is true only when a document load actually follows, so a listener can count real full loads without also counting the degradations that resolve in place (a dropped background revalidation, or a suppressed cross-deploy reload that proceeds on the stale importmap). The event is not cancelable, and a listener that throws cannot affect the navigation.

+- **the vendored `@webjsdev/intellisense` bundle reported the wrong version** ([#1117](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/1117))
+
+  The plugin ships a committed copy of `@webjsdev/intellisense` rather than resolving it at install time. That copy still declared 0.5.1 in its own `package.json`, so the published plugin misreported which language-service version it carried. Re-vendored, so the shipped bundle and its stated version agree.
+
+  There is no change to the plugin's own Lua surface. The only other commit touching this package since 0.2.2 was a JSDoc brand-casing pass inside the vendored copy ([#855](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/855)) [`f41d105b`](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/commit/f41d105b), with no behaviour change.

+- **the "open documentation" command points at the current docs host** ([#1101](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/1101)) [`e07ea3a1`](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/commit/e07ea3a1)
+
+  The documentation moved from `docs.webjs.dev` onto the main domain, and the command shipped in the extension still opened the old host. This is the extension-side counterpart of the same fix released in `@webjsdev/core` 0.7.44.
+
+- **brand casing corrected in the Marketplace listing** ([#851](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/851)) [`28e5be9a`](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/commit/28e5be9a)
+
+  The extension README is packaged into the vsix and rendered as the Marketplace listing page, so this is the visible description text.
+
+Also includes a JSDoc-only brand-casing pass over the extension source ([#855](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/855)) [`f41d105b`](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/commit/f41d105b), with no behaviour change.

 ## Releasing a version
 
-1. Bump `version` in `packages/editors/vscode/package.json` (the pre-commit hook

+1. Bump `version` in `packages/editors/vscode/package.json`. The pre-commit hook
+   TRACKS this package (#413), so the bump DOES require a `changelog/vscode/<version>.md`
+   and `scripts/backfill-changelog.js` generates one. The entry carries
