 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-12-04 - 4.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(typedrouter)
+Introduce options object for TypedRouter.routeAndAddResponse (localRequest, skipHooks); add defaultRouteOptions and make hook calls respect skipHooks; bump package version to 3.2.3
+
+- Changed TypedRouter.routeAndAddResponse signature to accept an options object ({ localRequest?: boolean; skipHooks?: boolean }) instead of a boolean second argument — this is a breaking API change.
+- Added TypedRouter.defaultRouteOptions with defaults { localRequest: false, skipHooks: false }.
+- Routing now respects options.localRequest and options.skipHooks; hook calls (onIncomingRequest, onOutgoingResponse, onIncomingResponse) are skipped when skipHooks is true to avoid hook recursion or duplicate handling (useful for broadcast-received messages).
+- Bumped package.json version to 3.2.3.
+
 ## 2025-12-04 - 3.2.2 - fix(typedrequest)
 Add skipHooks flag to TypedRequest to optionally suppress global hooks for internal requests
