+## Recent Changes (December 2025)
+
+### Dependency Updates
+- `@push.rocks/smartchok` replaced with `@push.rocks/smartwatch` (renamed package, same API)
+- `@push.rocks/smartfile` upgraded from v11 to v13 (major API change - `fs` module removed)
+- `@push.rocks/smartfs` added for filesystem operations (v1.2.0+)
+- `@push.rocks/smartenv` upgraded to v6.0.0
+- `@push.rocks/smartrequest` upgraded to v5.0.1
+- `@push.rocks/webrequest` upgraded to v4.0.1 (`WebRequest` renamed to `WebrequestClient`)
+- Express upgraded to v5.2.1
+- All `@git.zone/*` dev dependencies updated to latest
+
+### Code Migration Notes
+
+#### smartfile v13 Migration
+- Old: `plugins.smartfile.fs.toStringSync(path)` / `plugins.smartfile.fs.toBufferSync(path)`
+- New: Use `plugins.fsInstance` (SmartFs instance with Node provider)
+  - String: `await plugins.fsInstance.file(path).encoding('utf8').read() as string`
+  - Buffer: `await plugins.fsInstance.file(path).read() as Buffer`
+
+#### smartfs treeHash
+- Old: `plugins.smartfile.fs.fileTreeToHash(dir, pattern)`
+- New: `await plugins.fsInstance.directory(dir).recursive().treeHash()`
+
+#### smartwatch (formerly smartchok)
+- Class renamed: `Smartchok` → `Smartwatch`
+- API remains the same: `new Smartwatch([paths])`, `.start()`, `.stop()`, `.getObservableFor(event)`
+
+#### webrequest v4
+- Class renamed: `WebRequest` → `WebrequestClient`
+
+### Architecture
+- `plugins.fsInstance` is a pre-configured SmartFs instance with SmartFsProviderNode
+- All file operations should be async using smartfs
+- Sync file operations have been removed
+
+### Express 5 Notes
+- Wildcard routes use `/{*splat}` notation
+- `req.params.splat` can be an array, use `Array.isArray()` check
