 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-08-30 - 5.4.2 - fix(cli/process/logs)
+Reset log sequence on process restart to avoid false log gap warnings
+
+- Track process runId when streaming logs and initialize lastRunId from fetched logs
+- When a new runId is detected, reset lastSeq so that subsequent streamed logs are accepted (prevents spurious gap warnings)
+- Emit an informational message when a restart/runId change is detected to aid debugging of log streams
+
 ## 2025-08-30 - 5.4.1 - fix(processmonitor)
 Bump tsbuild devDependency and relax ps-tree callback typing in ProcessMonitor
