 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.2.0] — 2026-05-20
+
+### Added
+- Added mesh-worker startup prompts so `ctxrelay mesh start` launches default
+  and named Codex/Claude lanes with an explicit first task instead of relying
+  on project instructions alone.
+- Added state-scoped room and runtime-session registries for port-base and
+  named-runtime launches, while retaining legacy registry helpers for
+  compatibility.
+- Added strict live daemon identity matching for port-base status reuse, using
+  daemon identity, pid, instance id, control port, project root, and state dir.
+
+### Changed
+- Changed Claude channel arguments to `--channels=<value>` and
+  `--dangerously-load-development-channels=<value>` so variadic channel flags
+  cannot consume the mesh startup prompt.
+- Defaulted mesh Claude launches to approved-channel loading when
+  `CONTEXTRELAY_ENABLE_MESH=1` is set, without changing non-mesh launch
+  behavior.
+- Allowed named runtime sessions to auto-enable for read-only mesh lanes, so
+  read-only workers can start without requiring
+  `CONTEXTRELAY_ALLOW_NAMED_SESSIONS=1`.
+- Allowed read-only mesh lanes to share a worktree with another active runtime
+  while preserving the existing conflict guard for write-capable lanes.
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed mesh bootstrap flows that could leave workers attached but idle by
+  making startup work explicit and preserving prompt quoting through the
+  instance-env shell wrapper.
+- Fixed state reuse for alternate port-base launches so live status adoption
+  cannot accidentally bind to a foreign daemon or project state directory.
