 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-11-28 - 7.0.6 - fix(classes.collection)
+Guard against missing collection before attaching document constructor in Collection decorator
+
+- Added a truthy check for `coll` before setting `(coll as any).docCtor` in the Collection decorator (ts/classes.collection.ts).
+- Prevents a potential TypeError when `collectionFactory.getCollection` returns null/undefined during decorator initialization.
+
 ## 2025-11-28 - 7.0.5 - fix(package)
 Add package exports entry and remove legacy main/typings fields
