 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-04-24 - 2.5.6 - fix(domtools)
+stabilize DomTools lifecycle, cleanup, and singleton behavior
+
+- make setupDomTools reliably reuse the global singleton while allowing isolated instances with ignoreGlobal
+- add dispose support across DomTools, scroller, theme manager, and keyboard to clean up listeners and managed DOM resources
+- improve runOnce to share the first in-flight promise across concurrent callers
+- make elementBasic setup wait for global style injection and expose globalStylesReady consistently
+- harden external script and stylesheet loading with domReady coordination and load/error handling
+- refine keyboard combo handling and synthetic key triggering while preserving the public key enum API
+- expand tests and documentation for singleton reuse, isolated instances, cleanup, plugin exports, and readiness behavior
+
 ## 2026-04-23 - 2.5.5 - fix(build)
 align test imports with tstest tapbundle and simplify the build script
