 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-11-29 - 13.1.0 - feat(smartfs)
+Integrate @push.rocks/smartfs and wire SmartFileFactory.nodeFs to return a real SmartFs instance
+
+- Add runtime dependency @push.rocks/smartfs@^1.1.0 to package.json (previous peerDependency removed).
+- Export smartfs from ts/plugins.ts so internal modules can access SmartFs and providers.
+- Implement SmartFileFactory.nodeFs() to instantiate plugins.smartfs.SmartFs with SmartFsProviderNode and return a factory bound to that SmartFs.
+- Enable factory-created SmartFile/StreamFile/VirtualDirectory instances to use the bound SmartFs for filesystem operations (read/write/streams).
+
 ## 2025-11-22 - 13.0.1 - fix(smartfile)
 Stream and filesystem integrations: remove fs-extra, switch to fs/promises.rename, add Web WritableStream compatibility, and use smartFs recursive directory methods; update plugins exports and README.
