 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-08-29 - 4.4.0 - feat(daemon)
+Persist desired process states and add daemon restart command
+
+- Persist desired process states: ProcessManager now stores desiredStates to user storage (desiredStates key) and reloads them on startup.
+- Start/stop operations update desired state: IPC handlers in the daemon now set desired state when processes are started, stopped, restarted or when batch start/stop is invoked.
+- Resume desired state on daemon start: Daemon loads desired states and calls startDesired() to bring processes to their desired 'online' state after startup.
+- Remove desired state on deletion/reset: Deleting a process or resetting clears its desired state; reset clears all desired states as well.
+- CLI: Added 'tspm daemon restart' — stops the daemon (gracefully) and restarts it in the foreground for the current session, with checks and informative output.
+
+## 2025-08-29 - 4.3.1 - fix(daemon)
+Fix daemon describe handler to return correct process info and config; bump @push.rocks/smartipc to ^2.2.2
+
+- Corrected the 'describe' IPC handler in the daemon to use ProcessManager.describe(...) result and return { processInfo, config } — this fixes a mismatch between the handler and the ProcessManager.describe() return shape.
+- Bumped dependency @push.rocks/smartipc to ^2.2.2 in package.json.
+
 ## 2025-08-29 - 4.3.0 - feat(cli)
 Correct CLI plugin imports and add reset command/IPC to stop processes and clear persisted configs
