 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-09-07 - 1.11.2 - fix(DeesFormSubmit)
+Make form submit robust by locating nearest dees-form via closest(); add local CLAUDE settings
+
+- Fix: DeesFormSubmit.submit now walks up the DOM with closest('dees-form') to find and call gatherAndDispatch on the parent form. This fixes cases where the submit button is slotted or not a direct child of the form.
+- Chore: Add .claude/settings.local.json to permit running pnpm scripts in the local CLAUDE environment (allows Bash(pnpm run:*)).
+
 ## 2025-09-06 - 1.11.1 - fix(dees-input-text)
 Normalize Lucide icon names for password toggle
