 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-06 - 5.4.0 - feat(ci)
+replace npmci with szci across CI and images; add szci preinstalled images and make tini the PID 1 init in Docker images
+
+- Replace @ship.zone/npmci with @ship.zone/szci in Gitea CI workflows (.gitea/workflows/docker_nottags.yaml, docker_tags.yaml) and update commands to use szci
+- Add szci-specific Dockerfiles (Dockerfile_szci, Dockerfile_alpine-szci) and tests (test/test_szci.sh); remove npmci-specific files
+- Install and use tini as PID 1 in multiple Dockerfiles and switch ENTRYPOINT to run tini for proper signal forwarding and zombie reaping
+- Update metadata/manifest files (package.json, npmextra.json, readme.*, Dockerfile base tags) to reference szci and document the inclusion of tini
+
 ## 2026-02-06 - 5.3.0 - feat(docker)
 add Chromium support for Puppeteer/Playwright and npm build/release scripts
